1952 NWC MALE CHORUS TOUR

N

k

\\ lien tlic 195J Raster vacation rolled around, Northwestern male fluirus again was ready to go on tour. The new seating arrangcmciit in the music room had throughout the year been more comiiu ive to learning the selections for the concert. Consequently, 1 the chorus was fairly well prepared when the time came for Easter vacation and the tour. A sixieen-nunibcr program had been prej)ar<.*d and was given fourleen times in the eleven day period of the tour, which lasted from Friday, April 4, until Monday, April 14.

Our director, Prof. H. C. Oswald, had worked hard and long with ihe chorus in preparing the concert. William Bein, the chorus presi­ dent, assisted in making all lhe preliminary arrangements with the lielp of his committees.

On Friday, April 4, classes were over at noon and the full chor­ us of about sixty voices prepared to go to Milwaukee for an evening concert. Our chartered Greyhound bus arrived shortly after 5 :oo. rl'hc driver, wlio was to stay with us for the entire tour, was Herb (irosshuesch. He had driven for previous NWC and Seminary tours.

Tile bus was (juicklv loaded with stands, gowns, stoles, suitcases, and people, and started out for Milwaukee with the sun still shining. Our destination was the newlv decorated Betlicsda Lutheran church, Upon our arrival, the freshman and sophomore members of the chorus set up the stand, a duty they were to perform many times.

A good crowd greeted the full chorus on our first concert appear-

HED ance. After the concert, many of the members stood around for some time talking to friends, related and otherwise, before leaving with their hosts for their evenings lodgings. Saturday morning Wf awoke with a light cover of snow on the ground. After a delicious pork chop dinner in the school, the tour chorus of forty voices was ready to continue on its way. Milwaukee was left with a driving, sleetish snow.

Oil the way to Weyauwega, we stopped off at Watertown to relieve ourselves of the extra baggage which was necessary for lhe full chorus and to give Prof. Oswald a chance to mimeograph the music which we were to record for the Fox River Valley Radio broadcast. After a stop of about an hour at school we left for Weyauwega and ran into the first of the flood areas we were to see on the tour. South of Berlin, Wisconsin, we had to pass over half a mile of road covered with more than a foot of water in places. After we had travelled about fifteen miles from the flooded area, the left front tire of the bus blew out. All pitched in, but it still took a while to change the tire in the blustery wind. We had to wait until we got to Green Bay to pick up another spare. Weyauwega was reached two hours behind schedule and the ladies of St. Peters were quite understandably wondering how long they could keep their supper warm. After the meal, the final thank you song of the chorus the usual “Sie Leben Hoch,\ Once the concert was over, we again went home with our hosts. Palm Sunday came with the sun shining.

The chorus sang one song in the morning service and left immedi­ ately after finishing the song. Our destinations for the rest of the -day were Oshkosh and then Green Bay. We reached Oshkosh in time for dinner. Grace cliurch had j ust about all the facilities one could ask for entertaining a chorus: good cooks, good food, friendliness, shuffleljoarcl, and basketball. After the 2 :oo o’clock concert, many of the chorus enjoyed themselves with basketball and sliuffleboard until our departure for Green Bay. Leaving Oshkosh in a hurry nearly proved to be a catastrophe be­ cause our organist, Bruce Backer, left his music behind. But one of the members of Grace church saw Bruce’s brief case and ran after the bus with it.

Much high water was again seen on the way to Green Bay for our 8:oo o’clock evening concert at First Lutheran church. Supper was there served by the younger ladies of the congregation, a fact which didn't seem to dampen any spirits, Because of the narrowness of the altar niche a five-row line-up had to be used for the concert instead of the usual four rows. This concert, as all the previous ones, seemed to be well accepted.

Monday morning before our departure for Rhinelander, we be­ gan our rehearsals of the songs which we later recorded. We left the podium behind in. Green Bay and had to have it brought to 2

: -

RED Rhinelander on one of the regular-run buses from Green Bay to Rhinelander. At about 10:00 A.M. we were on our way to Rhine­ lander with good weather as a welcome companion. The trip from Green Bay to Rhinelanck*r took us through the wooded territory of the Menomonie Indian Reservation, where we saw Indians gathering maple syrup. Dinner was bought by the individuals at Antigo. The shuffleboarcl and basketball facilities of Zion's new school in Rhine­ lander were much used, and quite a number of fellows indulged in refreshing showers. A tasty liain supper was served. Ham, throughout the tour, was the main meat on thc menu. Witli a full church. the chorus sang a good concert. After the concert, a lunch was given us by the choir of the clmrch. The glee club and the octette sang at lliis reception, as well as after most meals on the tour, and were well received. ()11 Tut-sdav, with good wcalhcT continuing, wc were shown through Rhinelander’s paper mill, the world’s largest paper mill, which produces glassinc paper. (Glassine paper is used for ihc inner 'vrap of cereal boxes and candy bars.) After the friendly Rhitidandcrs had served us a beef dinner, we left for our next stop.

Medford was reached on Tuesday, April 8. Here for the first time we met our hosts before the concert. A five-line formation was Kaiii necessary at this concert. Wednesday morning we awoke with rain trying to knock llic sleepiness from our eyes. Dartball was the top atiraclion here in the line of entertainment.

•，•

M enomonie was reached amid snow. We again met our hosts before the concert at St. Paul's. There was a smaller attendance here. The weather possibly had a hand in this. A lunch was given the concert in the school. The glee club and the octette again roii»ku*(l their by-now-familiar songs. Thursday morning came with good weather again. This morning the final recordings were made of the five songs which were to be used on the radio by the Fox River \ allev Conference for an Easter service.

We entered Minnesota with a shining sun on the afternoon of Thursday，April 10. But Minnesota was also to greet us with much water. O11 our way to Belle Plaine, the road through Shakopee was covered with water. All the luggage had to be taken out from under the bus and carried inside to keep it from getting wet. After we reached Belle Plaine, our first step before supper was to sing for the people at the Lutheran Old People’s Home. Supper was then served by the women of Trinity. After the concert we again went home with our hosts. The following morning. Good Friday, Pastor Racltke held a special communion service at 8:00 for the chorus.

We then left for the city of. St. Paul.

At St. Paul, cur afternoon concert was held in Emmanuel Lutheran church. At the time we arrived, the basement of the church was still being used by the Red Cross as a refugee center for those forced to vacate their homes because of high water. Our dinner was

given us at 11 :oo co'clock, since we had to siii’g one song at the 12 :oo o’clock Good Friday • service held in the St. Paul auditorium. Tbo afternoon concert at 2 :oo o’clock was ralhcr poorly attemlcd because many people had to work. Here Bruce Backer was in his glury play­ ing on the largest organ he met on the tour, a large three manual instrument.

From St. Paul we went to Delano for our evening concert.

Here we saw a town half under water, with one of its bridges ex­ pected to be washed out by the eiglitven-foot tlocul cresl. As couM be expected, much sight-seeing and picture-taking was indulged in.

Many even climbed the railroad trestle to get a wider view of tlv water-lapped houses and of tlie cars more than half submerged.

Taking the flood into consideration, the concert at Ml. Olive I-utli eran church, Delano, was very well attcndcil.

On Saturday morning, April 12, we left Delano at 9:00 o'clock for a one-concert junket back into Wisconsin. We reached < )scc*ol 1 in time for dinner at Zion I .utlicran churcli, wliicli actually is i;i Farmington. In the afternoon Herb and his Greyhound took us t<* visit the St. Croix Falls. The sccncrv was beautiful and several ro warding pictures should come from this jauiU. We returned lo oat supper at Trinity cliurcli of Osceola. That evening our concert wa、 held in the local high school auditorium, with its curtained sta«;v Since no organ was in llie auclitorium, l'rucc Backer was not abl to play his organ solos al the inlcrmissi<'»ns. The following nioniinj； was Easter and we all had to get up about 4 :oo A.M. in order t sing the Easter section of our conceri at the 5:0() o'clock sminsr service at Zion’s church. We were llicn served l>rcakfast in the church basement. We left al 7 :oo o'clock witli snow in tlu* air.

We entered Minnesota again and fouiul aliout lour inches 01' snow greeting us. When we readied Caledonia, \U* went tn 1k)uso of individual meml)crs of the congregation for dinner. ()m* conccii here was at 3 :oo in the aflernoon, witli bud roads keeping many frum coming in. After tlu* concert at St. John's, our supper was given us at a local hotel with younger members of the congregation serving. We then left in continued slushy weatlicT for our nvxt an«l second-from-the-last concert.

Winona was rcrchcd aliout 7:00 o'clock. 11 ere .-'gain som*1 availed themselves of the opportunity lo shower. A good conceri was given here to a crowd which w;is not poor when the bad wealluT and roads were considered. After the concert at St. Martin's, we left to spend our last night of the lour of 1952 with our hosts. Raster Monday morning we awoke witli tlie sun shining.

When 'vc came inlo Wisconsin on our way to Madison, we found most of the snow gone and a beautiful day greeting the last day of a tour that had been unmarred by ；K'ciclc*nts or sickness of any great proportion. After we reached Madison, we first went to the

4

RED slate radio station, WHA, to record fifteen minutes of songs which • tliev wanted to tise on a coming Sunday program. After eating supper at tlie Eastsidc 1-utlu.Tan churcli in Madison, we went lo the Calvary Lutlieran University Cluipel at the University of Wisconsin to givo our final concert. 11 ere we were welcomed by a younger but no less cutliusiristic crowd. With the pews well filled, a good concert was given, and wlicn the final “Amen” of ‘’rile Benediction” echoed into space ;ui(l lime, our concert tour Was over.

Witli a bus noisier than usual, we returned to the* halls of Nortlnvcstern College 一 our tour finished and our studies again In begin. Watertown was reached a little past 10:30 with a feeling of relief and also a feeling of wanting to do it all over again after a shorl rest. Tlu. tour covered a total of approximately 1,250 miles in W'isennsin and M inm-sota, spreading the wonderful treasure we havo in music.

M lu* amccrls nil tile tour were* in the main well done, with the IHTl'ormaiuv usually being better if the crowd was large. Fair weatlu-r smiled on us most of the way and we had a capable and verv friend 1\ bus driver, I Icrbic Grossliuesch, guiding our Greyhound «»UT ilu* miles. It need scarcely be mentioned that the food was alwavs < xccIUmu ami that there was always more tlian enough of it. 下111. 1 >« *sls WOR1 generally glad to entertain tlie fellows. We received valual'lc experience* from the contacts with the different members nf tlu- vynod, and our hosts became better acquainted with their fu­ ture ministors. W e enjoyed relating the life of Christ in song and <»ur audience received tlie benefit from the message of these songs.

Uui without a director our chorus would not have been able to do any of the things thus far related. We owe much to Prof. Os­ wald, who gave up his Raster vacation to accompany us and to direct us in the songs he laught us. In lii.s quiet way and with an ever-rwuly sniilo he kept us all going.

The tour now is past, but its memory will remain and it will conic up in many conversations. Here you have stated the bare facts which pertained to all. The individuals still have their own stories.

ON ARBOR DAY As soon as the first robin is seen, one’s thoughts turn immediately to spring, even though the snowv winds still swirl around the liapless bird. With this herald of spring, people’s thoughts turn t* various tilings. The proverbial expression says, “In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thouglits of love”. And what do we here at Northwestern think of at the first sign of spring? Why, Arbor Day, of course!

RED To those readers of the Black and Red who are not familiar with the occasion, 1 shall attempt to give a brief summary of a typi-. cal Arbor Day at the College. On this day there are no classes, but it is spring clean-up time for the entire campus. One might say tlu* campus gets a complete face-lifting. The campus is raked, shrub beds are spaded, and the trees are trimmed.

The choice of the day is left to the Junior class, whose decision is aided by the sage advice of several faculty members. Already on the days preceding Arbor Day rumors began to fly in the dormitory that perhaps tomorrow will be the day, and if it isn’t, some students are found strangely unprepared in classes that day. The object seems to be to pick a beautiful day, but it often happens that the day is only beautiful until the work is finished, and when the fun 1、 about to begin, it rains.

On the big day a meeting is held after breakfast, and the preps, who do the raking, are assigned to groups under the supervision oi Junior class members. Then they go to work, armed with rakes ami cigarettes, for this is the one day when all preps are allowed lo smoke until 6:oo P.M. As the morning passes, however, some of the less hardy fellows have already for good reasons given up the idea of smoking.

At ten o’clock conies the time for a short rest and refreshment Lunch sure tastes good after all that raking! While the raking going on, the Frosh are busy getting the baseball field into sliaj )0 for the coming season.

After dinner it is the Sophs’ turn to shine. Each year on Arbor Day the Sophomore class plants a tree on the campus as a living remembrance of their class. This is where the day really gets its name, for the Latin “arbor” means "a tree”. This ceremony include、 a speech by a professor and a few words by the Soph class presideni.

There’s usually some general fun-making by the cut-ups of the class too. Consideration is also given to the tree, for a few ancient text­ books are usually planted with it for nourishment, though it's a question open for debate whether this actually helps or not. This is the conclusion of Arbor Day on the campus.

The remainder of the afternoon is spent by the various classes at their parties, which arc held out in the country somewhere or in the local park. By evening, Arbor Day is a thing of the past, and there is nothing left but the expectation of another Arbor Day next year.

RED THE BIG BAD WOLF No, this isn't going to be a Little-Red-Ricling-Hood story. In fact, it isn’t even about an animal. But the Wolf I’m speaking of can be more dangerous and ravenous and has surely taken more human lives than any of its "species’’.

This happens to be a river, and I have the fortune, or, at times, llie misfortune, of living in a town through which it flows.

I could tell of the excitement that begi 11s in New London as soon as there are signs of Spring and the ice goes out. This is the big day for all the fishermen, since shortly afterward pike season opens. But it is even a big day for some who do not partake in the sport. Kadi year a sort of raffle is held and prizes are given to the ones who have the closest guesses as to what time the ice will start moving. And when I say what time, I mean what time, exactly. This year, for the first time, they even went so far as to install a clock on the main street bridge. To tin* clock by means of a long cable was attaclied a buoy. When the buoy moved a certain distance, it auto­ matically stopped the clock on the bridge, and tlie ice was officially “out，，.

*☆

To show liow fate plays a hand in this guessing game, I’ll menlion as an example the winner of this year’s first prize. He hap­ pened to be sitting at his desk looking over the voting lists when l!u* nu*n came around to get his guess. Just off-hand lie said, “Oh. it'll out about the time the voting is over”.

That happened to be shortly after seven o’clock cm April first, I l)«.-lic*ve, and at 9:04 that very night the clock was stopped. Pretty close, don't you think ?— —less than two hours off.

Or I could tell of the first day of pike season, when the boat< on llie river are so thick one can hardly get a pole in the water without snagging someone dse’s line or anchor rope. l»ut wlien I came home for Easter vacation recently, an even more unusual and interesting spectacle awaited my eyes.— interesting to look at, that is, but not for those who were in closer con­ tact witli it than I. Friday afternoon as we arrived home for vacation, I was greatly surprised to see about two-thirds of our main street under water.

Higlnvay 45 runs right through town, but we had to take another boy home who lives out in the country, so we took a road that had been protected by a make-shift dike along all but one short stretch.

As we drove over that stretch, we could feel the roiling water vibrate the car, and we hit several deep holes but made it all right.

On the way back to town we took another route that wasn’t quite as bad, but here too about six or seven inches of water were swirling over the road, and if it kept up that way, I wondered how long it would take before the road would be washed out and barred from traffic.

7

RED Saturday night I bad to drive through the water on the street along which highway 45 runs. The distance it was flooded was only three or four blocks, but we had to move so slowly that by the time we got all the way through，about one-fourth inch of water had seeped in under the doors and covered tho rear floor-boards.

I went through that mess six times in all that night, and if you don’t think I was nervous by the last lime, you're wrong. It’s no fun to crawl through fifteen indies or better of water when any min­ ute the exhaust could be plugged or the motor splashetf by some car coming through from the other direction. There were big county trucks on hand at all limes that were kept busy towing stalled car.、 through the water, but our old “Chev” — it’s only a “50” but. I call it old — never stalled once. I kepi the motor racing and stayed in low gear all the time, travelling no more than between five ami ten miles an hour by slipping llic clutch. That’s hard on a car, 1 know, but what else could one do? As it was, I often heard the exhaust blub — blub — blubbing just like a Cadillac and knew tlial the water must be fairly deep then. (Perhaps you wonder why I went through all that trouble. You guessed it. — a girl! I lialc to miss a Saturday night date even with something like that in the way.)

Sunday I heard a few more stories about the big flood. Tlioy said it was the highest the water has been since 1922. I wouklu'i know. I was minus-ten years old at tliat time.

Mother told me of a lady who had just had new linoleum laid in her kitchen and new carpeting in the living room, and the liigli water had destroyed both. So now she would have to go without her new Easter coat and a few other things she had planned on liavinj;.

Not a very cheerful thought, I’m sure.

None of the flooded houses had heat, and those who shopped in a certain department store could stick their fingers through the floor register and touch water. But as far as I know, most of the mer­ chants had time to remove stock from their basements.

On the more comical side, one of my friends told me he had seen someone riding up and down the flooded end of main street in a motor-boat. That must have been a sight! I know that whoever had to come lo town from the houses in the flooded area either pm on hip-boots, waded, or, if he were lucky enough to have one, used a boat.

The water seemed to subside as fast as it came, however, for

by Monday night it was down several inches, and by Tuesday or Wednesday the streets were all dry except for a few puddles here and there.

As I drove through town on one of those nights, I noticed a few sandbags lying on a corner that looked like people who had gone through a famine. There was little sand left in them, and they lay S

RED “We tried, but what sprawled cjut and tired-looking could wo (lo?”

I feel sorry for all the poor motorists who were foolish cnougli to drive in the deeper water. Sunday afternoon, for instance,' the streets were lined with one car after another full of spectators, tliough the local police chief had put a notice in the paper that no one should conic through New London unless absolutely necessary. Every car owner I know wlio risked ilic high water had to have a greasec job anil his brakes readjusted or repacked aflerward, since they ( lidn’t work well at all after being water-soaked.

And vet this flood was only a minor one compared to those further south in Kansas and Missouri, and the damage nowhere near as great. But it makes me think for a while now when I see news­ paper. reports of flash-floods or rising water anywhere. Thank God I didn’t Iiavc to sec or experience such a tragedy!

THE BOOKSHELF In order to ac(|uaint students witli recent books which the li­ brary has acquired, the following column is being instituted.

"Science and Common Sense”，by J. Conant, is a book which brings the wild claims of science down to a common level. It is wriitcn in a smooth style, making it easy to read.

■'Ivlwanl Arlington Robinsun.’，by K. Neff; “H. G. Wells”，by X. Xiclmlson; “丁he Young Shelley”，by IC Cameron; **Bewitched rars«»nagc,' by \\;. Braithwaitc; “Nook FarmM, by K. Andrews; ''Rol^-rt lUinis”，by ,1. I.indsey: and “Trollope”，1)y Sadlier, arc biograplik.s of literary personages. The books arc among the best wliicli have appeared during the past few years. All are written in a style which will attract the reader.

“Brethren of tlie Common Lifc,\ hv A. Ilyma, is considered to be a most authoritative work concerning monastic life prior to the Refonnation. Again it is written not in a dry manner, but interest­ ingly for the average reader. ''Continuing in His Word" and “The Flood”，by Rehwinkle，are two books which should be read by all students.

“Out of this World”，by Lowell Thomas is the exciting tale of Mr. Thomas’ trip to that mysterious land of Tibet.

•*Tlic Lady's Not for Burning，\ by Christopher Fry, is an out­ standing example of the recent return of the dramatist to the poetic field of expression in drama. He spins a dramatic tale of the plight of a woman accused of witchcraft in the Middle Ages. **Abraham Lincoln — The War Years", by Carl Sandburg, ancl “Lee’s Lieutenants’’，by Douglas Freeman, (4 vols.) are considered the best works in their field. The volumes of “Lee’s Lieutenants” contain many interesting illustrations of Civil War times.

9

RED "From Virgil to Milton”，1))，C. Bowra, contains short essays on famous epic writers ;md their epic poetry.

“Christian Dogmatics，\ by Franz Picper, (2 vols.) is a trans­ lation of the author's famous “Cliristliclic Dogniatik*'. It is a must reading for ) uniors and Seniors who intend to l)econie niinistc'rs.

“Science is a Sacred Cow", by A. Standen, is a satire on the worship of science by certain people and is written in a humorous vein.

"Dictionary of Amcncanisnis，\ which traces American expres* sions to their grass roots, a set of two volumes worth $40, was pur­ chased by the student body in memory of luigene Kngel.

‘•The Struggle for Survival”，l)y E. Janeway, gives an accntml of the race against time in our production war during World War I I <4Everyday Life in Ancient Times’’，published by the Nalinual Geographic Sociclv, contains the famous scl of paintings on life in ancient Egvj)!, Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome.

“Here i Stand”，l)v R. Rainton, and "Luther and liis Tinier",

by Schwiebert, are two new excellent biographies of J.utlicr, tlic lat ter being the most extensive since it also enters into the history of the century around tlic Reformation.

If you wish to bite your teeth into something scholarly, irv “Plato’s Theory of Ideas*1, bv D. Ross. AHh<uijj[h it is "tougli slcldingv, it is rc\v;irding.

Among new reference liooks ;»re to Ik* found llio ''World A* manac 1952*', ''Current liiograpliv 丨仍2”，“Who’s Wlio 1951'', an<l “Who’s Who in America 1952”.

These are just some of the new books. They can Ik* found the shelves in tlic stack rnom. Kook up Ihc call numl)cr of the l»n)k in the card calalnguc. Tin* hook can be found unclcr 1)olb tlic aulli'*r and title.

Besides these new accessions a large number of books from tlx， libraries of Prof. Sprcngling and Miss Rlizabctli Knist were* cata­ logued. .

The library also has finally l)ecn al)le, with tlic kind donalion of one of our pastors, to c- mplcte its collection of Synodical Reports.

OUR NEW SOUND SYSTEM The latest devdopnicnts in the field of sound engineering have been incorporated in the new ec|uipmcnt that, by the time this article is printed, will have been completely installed in llie gym. Tlic sound system which we shall be using in the near future utilizes two typc*.> soiin(l-re])roducing apparatus.

F(»r high fidelity response in reproducing and amplityins music and speech under low-noise circumstances, two fifteen-inch Jensen penuanent magnet speakers will be used. This type of speaker is a 10 ■

RED well-known and respected brand of conc-tvpc sound-reproducer which is capable of faithfully bringing to an audience, with practicully flat response, .ill the tones that a symphonic orchestra may pro• lucc from llie lowest note of the contra-bjissoon to the clear, high notes of the concert Stradivarius. The speakers are mounted on either side of tlic stage in new slanted baffles of walnut veneer.

Above tlit. two speakers arc mounted two University paging and intern mi speakers. These speakers arc really reflex air column horns and arc tn l>c used under noisy conditions such as those at basket­ ball ganuvs, etc., 'vlim. puweT, rather than high fidelity, is the de­ sired factor. Tlu_. two trumjjets can liandlc up to eighteen watts of power contiimouslv at a frcc|iu*ncy response of two-liundrecl and fifty to six tlmusaiul cycles j)t*r second. Their capability in these respects makes tlu-ni ideally suited for the job they will perform in tin* jj'iii. the- now svslom includes llirc-c inicrophonc inputs.

RED Carlos Sherman ... # N APRIL 3, the Community Concert Association presented a baritone, Carlos Sherman, in a concert in our gym. Mr. Sherman was accompanicd on the piano by Mr. Jackson, a somewhat shy but capable accompanist. Mr. Sherman is tall, dark, handsome,* and /oung as a concert baritone.

In tliis concert he showed his great versatility by singing music which ranged from operatic arias to Negro spirituals and popular ballads. He also displayed liis skill as a linguist. He sang in Rus­ sian, I’micli, Spanish, (ierman, (I reek, Italian, and luiglish. Mr. Sherman sang with a resonant tone which, however, could not be classified as a bass baritone. As an encore for his third section, Mr. Sherman sang the favorite of all baritones, Cole Porter’s “Ole Man River”, which displayed the resonancy of the singer but lacked the customary deep hass ik»Ics. I7ur one of liis operatic arias Mr. Sher­ man san<j ihe familiar selection from Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro”.

I»csi(!«.•> his musical efforts Mr. Sherman displayed liis dramatic capabilitios by acting out the different arias and songs which he sang.

I think Mr. Sherman warmed the audience* to himself witli liis draniatics, and tin- audience acknowledged tlidr appreciation by applaudiiig Mr. Sliernian, who also sang four encores.

Mr. Jackson performed four piano solos, among; which were Chopin's "Ktude in .K major" and Dohnanyi's ’’Capriccio in F minor’’. ’I'lie Chopin etude was very well performed and showed tin; artisirv uf tlie performer. The virtuosity of the pianist was exhibited in the Dolmanvi .’Capriccio”，which moves along at a good tempo.

This concert was as usual poorly attended by students. It is a disgrace for the students not to attend these concerts. We pay for these cuncerts whether wc go to them or not. Music requires only an open mind and ear, no more. The reason most people do not understand and like classical music is because they have never been exposed 10 it. But most people like popular music because they do understand it. Why do they understand it? It is because-they hear it on the radio and from the jukeboxes. In these Community concerts we have a chance to expose ourselves to classical music and * thereby learn to understand and appreciate it. These concerts are not arranged only for people with a master’s degree in music; they are arranged for an average American. There are always some Ne­ gro spirituals or music which everyone recognizes in these concerts.

It someone gave 3vou a pint of ice cream free and it was not your favorite flavor, would you refuse the gift ? How unreasonable can you get? You refuse these concerts because their flavor is semi-classicai and not altogether popular. The term classical as used in music h only distantly related to the way classical is used in our educational system. It does not taste nearly as bitter. Why don’t you give classi­ cal music a chance while you have the opportunity ?

RED Cheaper by the Dozen ...

-

SATURDAY evening, March 29th, the movie ^Cheaper by the Dozen” was shown in the projection room. Jeanne Crain, Clifton Webb, and Myrna Loy formed a good cast for this gay comedy about a large family. Father was an efficiency expert, and twelve children furnished a fertile field for his talents. And his spirit marched 011 in Mother after his sudden death.

The projection room was filled for the showing, although the Saturday date was an experiment. The entire dialogue was under­ standable —a pleasant relief from past experience in the gym. All in all, repetition of the whole event would be quite welcome.

N MARCH 28, 1952, the sixth and final program of the Forum was presented at 7:00 P.M. in the college gym. Richard Balge served as master of ceremonies.

The main theme of the program was leased on the fact that a presidential election will be held this year. A speech, a reading, and a recitation were given, as well as two musical selections and a comic reading. Reuel Schulz was the first speaker of the evening. From memory he gave a speech' on a past election, “The Controversial Election of 1876.” “Sounds From the Hudson,a trumpet solo, was presented by Thomas Henning. The musical selection was well rendered and the audience showed its approval with rousing^ ap­ plause. Daniel Habeck followed with the reading. “1-low We Elect Our Presidents" from a February issue of U. S. Ah'ii's and IVorid Report. He successfully explained to us the complicated system of electing a President. Charles Boder gave a brief introduction to the poem, “Lincoln, the Man of the People*1 by Edwin Markham and followed with a flawless presentation of the poem from memo 17.

Another musical selection, “Nocturne” by Grieg, Op.54, No. 4， given by David Schmiel at the piano. His performance gave good evidence of some of the talent within our student body. The program was brought to a close by the comic selection, “A Lesson in Phonetic Punctuation”，by Carl Hillmer. His comic reading and acting was received by the audience with much applause and laughter. Tlie pro­ gram was well given and Mr. Balge did a fine job as master of ceremonies.

The final program concludes our Forum schedule for this year.

The members of the society have been working hard to bring our programs to the point where they will get the whole-hearted attention of the student body. Our aim has not been in vain since there lias been a fairly good attendance of students at our programs. Our programs have included speeches, music, readings, drama, and recitations. We hope that this variety of material has helped briiig more interest in the society. However, when we look back at our success­ ful season we must remember that tlicre still is much lo be done.

Only a small part of our student body are members of the society.

We hope that our programs have helped arouse a new interest for many others and that they will in turn join the Forum next year.

The Forum was founded last fall with the primary purpose of having students become accustomed to public speaking, for which we have no special course here at Northwestern. We believe that practice in public speaking now will help us later on, and we offer this opportun­ ity to all collegiates.

After a successful season the members of the Forum felt that an additional program should be presented. A full length, three act play is now under way and will be presented sometime this spring.

Let’s keep up the good work, fellows!

Ich woisz nicht was soil cs bedeuten,.

Dasz icli nu' cin Columnist bin Oft hab ich's erklaert den Leuten, Dasz wie ich schreib’ ist a sin.

Sio lachcn nur und sagen.

Das ist all right, mein Solin, Wiclitiges wurdest du nicht gechosen Du l)rauchst nur Campus und Classroom coniposen.”

Well, O.K., but don’t ''JIV that I didn’t warn you. To keep this from boinij; a total waste ot time and space, let’s first of all introduce the new staff.

As everyone knows, the success or failure of a publication such as this depends to a large extent the editor-in-chief. This year that responsibility falls on the scrawny, pardon me, brawny shoulders of none otlier tlian John I labeck. Should there ever be a shortage out-and-out optimist, doesn’t expect, of articles, which he, being he will be assisted by his contributing editors, Tom Henning ami P. (i. Eckert. So much for the editorial staff.

The disheartening task of going from room to room and being informed that no one has any alumni news has been left to Brother Tiefel, 1 understand he intends to use a new system. He’s offering small rewards for information leading to news.

The Athletics are to be covered by the “Blond Bomber”，Dick Balge, and our business manager for the next year will be Kenny Struck. If the work in his department varies in direct proportion to the funds in the treasury, he ought to have the easiest job. (Kenny, my pen's dry. Would you pass me the ink bottle, please ? No, no the blue stuff. — Tsk, tsk!)

Finally we bring you the advertising managers. In view of the fact that these boys would be doing a lot of “Tioofing” downtown, candidates were handpicked with special emphasis placed on good, sturdy underpinnings. That made the job a definite honor. After 19

RED all, not everyone can have the best legs in the school. To make a long story short, the candidates fought tooth and nail all the 'vay.

It was a real campaign, complete with bribery, mud-slinging, and, where necessary, stuffing the ballot-boxes. This latter fact became evident only during the final counting, which revealed that F.yle Albrecht, with 4,792 votes, had a slight edge on his nearest competi­ tor, “Jacques” Pankow, with 4,790. (Not a bad turn-out at the i)olls for a school with an enrollment of only 300) Seeing that: public opinion was so evenly divided, and allowing for a possible error in counting, it was finaily decided that these two should be bailed ns having equally fine legs and on them should l)e conferred the honor­ ary title of ADVERTISING MANAGERS of the BLACK & RED. have two adverT mention these facts merely to show you why tising managers, when everyone knows that cither of those guys could easily do the job alone.

Mary had a little lamb, His fleece was black as sool, And on Mary’s nice, clean dress His sooty foot lie put.

If everyone would follow the good example set by Ted kuntz, we would certainly have a much cleaner campus and dormi­ tory. It seems a few weeks ago, during “Clean-up Week”，Ik. was so taken up with the idea, that at 1 A.M. he decided lie just had Xo haul a load of rubbish to the dump. It must liave been tliat. \\ hv else would anyone get stuck there at that time of day ? That's wliai we like to see, a Junior setting the example, providing an incentive for his more slovenly colleagues. Incidentally, see Teddy if you're interested in finding out what tow charges come to these days.

While we're on the subject of cleanliness, I might mention .’Brains” Hoenecke’s new invention, a vacuum broom. It's designed especially for use in the music room during chorus periods. The vacuum is provided by the eraser-cleaner outside the door and any old broom will do for the rest of the outfit. Lucrative business, this inventing, isn’t it, Roy? — His latest invention isn’t out yet, but he’d like to liave the word get around that if anyone can provide him with a couple of empty “Bull Durham” cartons he'd be very thankful.

The other (lav a pitifully thin, emaciated wisp of a man ap­ proached me. Summoning his last ounce of strength he tapped 111c 011 the shoulder and introduced himself as one Melvin Teske, Class of ’54. He claimed that for some small misdemeanor he bad been forced to change tables in the dining hall, and hadn't gotten a square meal since. He apologized over and over again for ljothering me but maintained that all he wanted was to know whether his sentence couldn^t be lightened.to capital punishment. — Alms for the poor?

20

RED As a special concession to Vickie Theiste and Four-season Willc it has bec*n agreed that their names shall not be mentioned in this opening issue. The joy of tliii? job is that there are still several months left in which their names may appear. That's not a threat.

It’s just a statement. 氺 氺 ❖ Can You Imagine： R. Bittorf going on a diet ?

Henning staying here for a week-end once 1 Having Salurelay mornings off?

"Doctor" Schmidt wearing overalls and a sweatshirt to class? ()ur Coeds were literally looking at the world through rose colored glasses not too long ago. It seems some enterprising stud­ ents, not content wiih a mere liberal arts education, turned their atlontion to interior decorating, with the result that the Co-ed room had an added clash of color, red windows. Cheer up, April Fool’s D;»v comes lnit once a year.

Tliosc clays wlicn the only wray iOIK* could get a drink on second or third floor was to suck it straiight from the faucet or lap it out of wasli basin arc now gone forever. Bubblers have been installed on both of tlieso floors. \Vlien they were first put in, there was great douI»t whether or not they had been connected to the right pipes, but cwrytliing seems to have turned out O.K. in the end.

Another Kaster vacation has come and gone and another con­ cert tour lias been completed. Since* the chorus toured only in Wis­ consin and Minnesota, the first official business was to declare war between these, two states. In this, it might be noted, the Wisconsin­ ites scored a moral victory. Wiconsin had less snow. In general the chorus members seemed to lake a very narrow-minded view of the beauties of winter.

Tlie chorus, much like a class, had its regular officers, its motto, colors and song. These may be of interest to some.

Officers: Bill Bcin, president.

Gary Haag, sanitation expert (He swept the bus). .‘Max’’ Hutli, jester (He seemed to have an endless supply of 'Iparables1' in his little* black book).

John Habeck, program director.

“Chick” Hoenecke, herald, also known as Keryks.

Colors: Green and yellow.

21

RED

'a

Motto: Now hear this! !

Song: Gaudeamus Igitur (arranged in duet form for Richie Pankow and Xorb Meier).

P.S. Space doesn’t permit, otherwise I would have mentioned that the chorus also had a director.

In the capable hands of our driver, Herbie Grosshuesch, tlic Greyhound travelled over 1200 miles without any mishap more scrious tban a blo'v-out. Aboard the bus all was activity; usually three more card games going at once, literature of all kinds floating around, Max Huth telling “parables” about the travelling salesman, and a guide or two fascinating his listeners by pointing out sccni<wonders, everything being the biggest, the best, the longest or tll(. strongest in the Northwest. All in all, most of them were regular fellows, but there always have to be some exceptions. Not so.

SpaiHle ?

“Lovable” Haag again proved the effectiveness of his technique.

Not only does it draw teen-agers, but it seems to be equally devastaiing to grade-school girls. Winking isn’t exactly a lost art, Gary, but it isn't practiced too much (luring concerts nowadays.

Some guys go to the other extreme. Hallauer and Frcicr ap­ peared so slow to a certain young lady that slic* told tliem they needvd lessons. Not only did she tell them they needed the lessons, hul she promptly proceeded to give them. How docs lesson tlirec gu again, Kenny ?

Either Hans Rucgc lias already taken these lessons in love ur the strong silent type has its advantages after all. As witness to this 1 cite the fact that Hans got more fan mail than the rest of the chorus put together.

Tour Quotes: Bob Mueller: (talking about his solo) “Can’t 1 make a break after the first phrase? That way I can bold the 'clear' much longer.”

Zimmcrmann: (leaning on tlie lectern) **The parable for tlu* sixth payday after Labor Day is ...

Haag: “Say, how old do you have to be anyway to get into a penitentiary ??, Anonymous: ••丁his tour would be O.K. if only the concerts didn’t break up the (lays so much.”

That about does it for this time. Before taking leave I have a favor to ask of my reading audience (if any). This question has been put to me and I think it deserves the rating of “query of the month”. Here it is. On those mornings when there is only one tutor at breakfast, where is the other one.?

So long till next month 22

ATHLETICS

VOLLEYBALL TOURNAM 1*：NT A volleyball tournament was held again this spring to help fill the athletic vacuum that always results wIhmi the basketball season ends. Frosh I successfully defended its school title by slipj)ing ]>asl Senior I, three games to two. The Seniors liad gained the finals l)y upsetting Soph I, 3-2, while the Frosh were trouncing Junior I m three straight contests. The Frosh were captained by I.. Dob1)crstein; Kuskc, Pankow, Schulz, Hinz, and (licsclien rounded out tin: sextet.

Beloit College's spikers, rated third in ihc nation last year, wore 1'lu. scheduled to meet the Frosh and the Seniors in exhibition play, T!..

A.A.U. meet is slated for April 26, at Milwaukee, and the wellbalanced Frosh squad will represent Northwestern in that tourney.

TENNIS The courts are dry, the weather is mild, and the nets arc up.

Eight candidates for the tennis team arc practicing daily. Last year's foursome of Brandt, Gawrisch, Henning, and Schliclit are back : an<l Strack, Teske, Kuehne, and Retzlaff arc seeking tin* remaining lx'rili、.

BASKETBALL STANDINGS The confused Badger-IUini Conference standings have not been untangled, but the 1951-52 championship has been awarded to C< *ncordia's Cougars.

BASEBALL The call for baseball hopefuls lias not sounded at tlic time of this writing, but the pitchers have been working out daily, and shuultl be in fine form for the season's opener.

U-：K()Y MARX'IN KOHLWKV Tlie studcMU body of Northwestern College was shock­ ed lo learn of tlic accidental drowning ot. LeRoy Kohlwey Wednesday afternoon，April 30th. The tragedy occurml in tlu- K(>ck River, where I.eRov had been swimming with a group of fdlcnv-sliKlents, wlio tried unsuccessfully to ivsau- him. LeRoy was horn on March 1, 1936, to Wal­ ter and Dorothea Kolilwcv. Our Lord received him into baptiMii al F.nimaiis Cliurcli, Milwaukee, on March 15, 1936.

110 lu.fiii lii.s schooling at ()ur Savior's Parochial School in \\ liiu.ii>li Hay. 1)ut in 19^7 he moved with his parents to Rio, \\ i.soonsii Uc was confirmcd in St. John's Church of DnyUptown on April 2, 1950, and enrolled in the high school al Xortlnvestern in the fall of that year. He was a st^pliomorc at the time of bis death.

Tlic funeral services were held on May 3rd, with LeRoy's pastor, John II. Kolil, officiating and delivering the sermon. Pres. K. 1C. Kowalke addressed the bereaved behalf of the faculty and the student body of Northwestern.

The college Octette sang two hymns, and I乂*Roy’s school­ mates served as pallbearers. The committal took place in St. Paul’s I .utlieran Ccmetcrv at CIrafton. \\ hen an event such as this takes place, we are remind­ ed vividly and forcibly that we are but mortal. Yet we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.”

His ultimate purpose is that we, after our life here on earth, he His children in the eternal home in heaven. To this end He orders the life of every Christian who acknowledges his personal redemption by Christ from the curse of sin. With such thoughts we can comfort those who mourn by recognizing God’s gracious purpose in everything and humbly praying, **Thy will be done,” since we know that this is God’s way of taking our brother to that better home with J esus.

FANTASY

i ■

sav一but is it r I Beauty in the clubroom ? Impossible, • , von found a very beautiful sight there one clay. You can, loo, read this article.

1 was sitting in the clubroom on a bright, sunny afternoon when I first noticed this beautiful fantasy. "Die sun was stivainini^ in through the windows making golden puddles on the fl(x>r. Tlu.re was one of them witli its accompanying - shafts near the chair in which I was sitting. The radio was playing soft, soothing music.

My mind was its usual blank as my eyes idly followed the smoke curling up from my cigarette. A cloud of smoke hung about niv chair.

The smoke was dull and dingy as it lefl the cigarette, but what a change when it entered the shaft of sunlight streaming through the window. Instead of dirty gray smoke, a blue and silver scene appeared. Being in a dreamy mood, 1 gave free play to my imagi­ nation. High mountains with silver lops appeared, and then low bills with broad valleys, a complete fairyland was spread before my eyes. Tiny roads and streams wound their way through ihc valleys.

Little villages and farms inhabited by fairyfolk appeared and disap­ peared as if l)y magic. It was a beautiful sight.

I found I was holding my breath and 1st it out with a sigh.

My fairyland tumbled to pieces in an instant, but a different kind of beauty appeared. Beautiful 'vliorls with blue and silver edges, 26

RED lined spirals and lacy snowflakes twirled tlicir way through the sun­ light. I marveled at tliis delicate panorama. The continual movemcnl from the air currents seemed uiiendiiig, but gradually my delicate blue and silver tracery passed out of the golden shaft of sunlight. All was gone except a dirty, gray cloud of cigarette smoke.

CARS ON THE CAMPUS This sul)j(.rt is of some interest to most sluclcnts of Northwes­ tern. Tlu* artick' wishes to deal with a view of the situation as it now stands and to m?kc personal suggestions as to a change in the present order.

At tlu. |)risent time the rules of the school quite definitely state that no oar.s hr* allowed on the campus. This is found in the school calaloji； l-"r n)51 -195j : " l»v resolutiun of the Faculty, with the concurrcncc <*i' the College Board, the possession and use of automobiles l)y studi.m、living in the dormitory is not permitted.This has but one nu-anin^, and all tlu* students that are defying the rule arc doing wnmji in (lolilKM-atcly going against a set rcgulalion. The ones who made ilii> rule did it for our good, not for our annoyance. If some mav be against llic rule, it is not for them deliberately to break it.

It is rather !'<»r them lo try by proper means to change regulations if they tliink they have a proper case against them. If such attempts should fail, it is their Christian duty to respect tlic knowledge of their elders ami to comply with the rules. \\ <• m >\v 0(ime to the advisability of the ruling made hv the faculty and 1)uard. If a person considers tlu* overall picture, it would |)ossil»ly be best if no cars were allowed. But under the present circumstiMiccs slight changes might be advisable. Some of these circumstances arc that it is easy to acquire a car at this time for not too ^reat a price, and tliat there arc cars being used by dormitory students contrary to rules. As long as there are rules. they will hi* broken. That is inevitable* in this world, and everyone will agree that Xortliwestern College is definitely in this world.

This does not mean that there should. l)e no rules. But it also does not mean, speaking figuratively, that ten gallons of water are ncccssarv to extinguish the flame on- a candle. Under the present circumstrnces there are and, sad to say. will be cars used by dormitory students. Under the present circumstances it is difficult, without much snooping, to have a check on the cars actually used. Under the present circumstances many fellows, the majority of whom per­ haps want their cars just for week-end transportation home, are falling bv weakness and stubbornness into the present actual wrong of having cars. Could not,, possibly, a change of the rules be justi­ fiable?

Realizing that cars arc* being used by dormitory students and 27

RED will be. it is suggested that a limited use of cars be legalized for the college students. The present rules should stand in keeping cars from use during the week. P»ut for many students, to lake one example, it is much better if they have direct means of getting home on week-ends. Their help is possibly needed, and bus or train connections are possibly arranged in such a manner as to get them home at an unprofitable hour for lielp.

But checks would be necessary, Parents’ permission should be demanded from every one having car and from everv one tliat wishes to ride in a car driven by a student. The permission fur the driver should state that use of the car is allowed only for travel lo and from school as long as the student is under the jurisdicli Oil of the dormitory. When the person lias readied home, he* is his own. With just week-end use of cars allowed, or use at the times of vacation, a place sliouUl l)e set aside on the campus where the cars could be parked and possibly locked in an enclosure from Monday morning until Saturday morning. In this manner a closer check could be kept on the cars, in the liope that there would Inless violations than under the present system whicli, in Utopia, would be the best, since it is an absolute system.

Cooperation should exist between the Watertown Police F<^\ and the college in the matter of cars. Every car sliould lx* checkr by the police. If ruled unsafe, the car should bo banned regardless of parents' permission. All licenses should be filed with the polic clcpartnieiU. If any violations should occur, the police would not if a special board consisting of members of llie faculty and of the stu­ dent body, instituted jusl for the car problem, which will remain a problem no matter what the system. This faculty-student boanl would review the individual causes for liaving a c?r at school and would rule on them according to the circumstances. This bojnil would also act on any violations wliicli the police deparlment might report to them. If the nature of the violation would cause the ban­ ning of the car from the campus to be advisable, the faculty-student board would act. In short, a limited use of cars, over wliicli a fac­ ulty-student board has jurisdiction, is suggested.

These recommendations have not been made in the hope thnt they will solve all problems. 丁hey won’t. But they might allevi­ ate some. Problems do and will exist. There will be violations no matter what the system, in a group of students of this size. I think, however, that the preceding suggestions might be of some value But until these or rnv changes nii^ht be* macle, we nr.ist romcMiiljcr what llie present regulation is. This slates plainly: No cars. As long as this is the rule, it should be followed, ;»nd those that aren’t following it should realize that, no matter wliat kind of excuse^ they give their consciences, they are doing wrong. We all know $hat wrong is wrong and should act accordingly, obeying the official rules and regulations as long as they exist.

RED ON CONSERVATISM The Bible with all its doctrines is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Biblical truths do not change with the limes. VVc all ought to be ultra-conservative in matters pertaining to the Bible, for no matter liow nuicli society changes the VVord remains the same.

Now when a conservative brings the extrinsic religious side of the question into his arguments against change and progress, he is confusing tlie issue. Religious conservatism stands in a class by itself. W e cannot argue from a specific case to a general rule. That is 'neither inductive nor deductive reasoning. From this point on in mv . essav. I shall treal conservatism in general, and the religi­ ous side of tlic question is closed.

Let us l)cgin with a short definition. A conservative is one who is opposed lu cliangc and wlio desires lo maintain, existing in­ stitutions or views. Upon mulling over this definition of a conservative, om- cannot help wrndering what state the world would In; in if c-vcryoiK* were a conservalive. What of the conservative who lived in llu- vear 1000 A. D. ? He was perfectly satisfied with the f.xistin^ .‘liiiu.-tested” institutions of his (lay, and if lie had had his way \w \\( mid still be living in the Dark Ages. What of the conscrvati\f of today? Me also is opposed k) «*iny change from the present, hut his l)mther who lived 952 years ago would he horri­ fied at tlie |>rngrt*ss we have made since then. The conservative who live.、a thousand years from now will be opposed to any cliangc from tilings as they will be in his clay, yet a thousand years from now- things will have* undergone a complete metamorphosis, as history pmves. This goes to show, I think, that very few views are time-tesicd. They must and do change with tlie times, and any­ one who is opposed to change is blind to the exigencies of life.

I doubt very much if there is such a thing as a congenital con­ servative. Conservatives are made, not born. There are innumer­ able cases to show lio'v a conservative comes into being, hut let us take the case of William Wordsworth as our example. During his youth Wordsworth bubbled over with optimism for the fulfillment of the ideas of men like Voltaire，Rousseau, and Diderot. The French Revolution sent his hopes soaring, for changes were about to be made. I»ut his hopes were blighted. Dictators seized the power in France, and the* common man- got out of control So great was his disappointment that as lie grew older he gradually chang­ ed his views, and death found him sitting not with the liberals but with the static standpatters. Frcm this and many other examples we see that youth generally tends toward liberalism and old age toward conservatism. 入I any people become conservatives through the influence of hyper-conservalive ideas which are pumped into their diffident minds from childhood on. These individuals in their excessive veneration 29

RED become the followers of older men’s ideas to such an extent that their minds are incapable of ever producing an original progressive idea.

Conservatives may be divided into two classes. Tliere arc those who are satisfied with the present but wary of the future, ami there are those who are dissatisfied with the present and long for the good old days. This latter type of conservative is called a rcaclionary. 1 use these terms not so much in their political sense, but in a more general way, referring to a person’s whole WcUanschamnuj.

It is very easy for one to spot the reactionary. He is one who lives in the past. He is always talking about how things were years ago. He will use such expressions as “the reverend fathers”, ..glorious tradition”，“years ago”，and “in my day”. His house is also often furnished in Louis Quatorze style.

A reactionary would make a statement to the effect tlial DcForest’s invention of the vacuum tube is to be (kplom.1, because it made radio possible; and now we must listen to bad music and the constant cajolery of hucksters’ advertisements. l»ut the radio also gives us the pleasure of good music, the culture of good drama, a broad outlook on the world situation, and last but not least, ^oo«l entertainment. My point is that the benefits of radio to human­ ity so outweigh its bad points, that one would hardly be justilied in making the biased statement that it is too bad that radio was invented. If we are going to argue in this manner, \vc will liavo to condemn almost everything - on this earlli. We will have to condemn guns, because guns are used in war. W'e will liave lo con­ demn the auto and the airplane, because millions of people, arc killed in their use of them. We will liave to reject the gas stove, the bow and arrow, and atomic energy.

But although most ultra-conservatives decry the evils of radio, I doubt very much if they themselves are without one. Few of them would be willing to give up their television set, stove, refrigerator, automobile, or other conveniences of progressive civilization. When you get right down to it there is no defense for this vilification of progress. God Himself gave the charter of science to man. Let man continue to progress and subjugate the earth. If anything in the field of science, education, industry ,or government needs a change, by all means change it.

Now I have been mainly deprecating the views of the reaction­ ary, the idiosyncratic fellow who sits on the extreme right hand side of the bench. The radical or extreme liberal, however, is just as bad. The everytliing-that-is-new-is-good school of thought is just as wrong as the everything-that-is-old-is-good school of thought.

Youth generally sits on the left hand side of the bench, and old age usually sits on the right hand side. I would advocate that they both move closer to the middle. The term, “happy medium ,was mvented by a wise man.

30

RED Nevertheless, I feel that a person who is overly deferential to another's views not only lacks a mind of his own, but also lacks backbone and will be nothing more than a mc-too man for the rest of his life. Although \vc naturally do respect old age, that does not now mean that \vc, luimbly acknowledging our own inferiority in practical knowledge, must bow to every aged idea. If we know or feel that an idea, opinion, or judgment is wrong, we ought to op­ pose it regardless of who its author or proponents may be.

If the majority stands for a change, there will generally be a change. Let us lake a few examples. If the students would ask that Norllnvcstcrn close for summer vacation at the sanic* time as tlu. other colleges and universities, I hardly think that a deaf ear would be turned to their plea. Money from summer jobs has always sup­ ported stiuk'nts. And if there would be a demand that we as future ministers Ik* nffoml more training in speech during our formative years, I am qiiik* certain that something could be worked out. After all, \vith(»ut a sunlent body there can be no school. I am not now ad­ vocating that lIk* student liocly run the school, but we here have the other oxircmc - \vc do not even have a student council to voice stu­ dent needs and get action on them. We here are certainly not the first to surest tlic new, and that . is righ, lmt neiher let us be the last to leave the old.

A new car designer like Pin in Farina would not put a product on the market which was too advanced for public taste. It would not sell. Neither would lie revert to a more primitive design like that of the Model T. That would not sell either. He goes with the stream and keeps his reputation for good design. If a new idea does not catch hold, it will soon disappear of itself. Many new ideas when givc*n a chance, however, do take hold. We now have what we call modern art, literature, music, architecture, and dress. Pub­ lic taste has changed. New ideas have been accepted.

Why light against the stream of progress? It is so tiring to fight against tlu* current, butting every new idea that comes along. Then, loo, it is so very (lull seeing the same old landscape on the shores of time. Why not float with the stream, sometimes spurting ahead and sometimes holding back? The landscape along tlie banks becomes more verdant and interesting, and the river of progress becomes broader and broader.

The words do not flow as fluently from the Gencral*s pen as they might have from some ghost writers, but all in all the book is well written.

The Bethesda Movie ...

N TUESDAY, April 22, at 8:00 p. ui., the ])rcniicre showing of “The Bethesda Movie” took place in the college auditorium. Tlie evening was opened with an address by Dr. IDicrker of Watertown, president of the Bethesda Lutheran Home Association.

Rev. C. F. Golisch, superintendent of Bethesda Lutheran Home and the moderator in the movie, then spoke and also introduced Pastors E. A. Jaster and C. E. Found, the producers of "The Be­ thesda Movie”. Before the showing, Rev. Kurt Eggert played a piano solo, u\Vake, Awake”，by Bach, and then accompanied Mrs. Adele Karps in two selections, “Solveig” by Grieg and “The Al­ leluia Chorus” by Mozart. All selections were well done. After a hymn was sung, “The Bethesda Movie5* in color was shown to the large crowd. The picture, of excellent craftsmanship, depicted well the work of the Lord that is being done at our Bethesda Home here in Watertown in the field of the mentally retarded, all of whom God wants as His children. Afler a free will offering, Rev. T. Eggers, chaplain at Bethesda Lutheran Home, closed the evening with a prayer.

RED The Northwest Sinfonietta ... an interim of several years, Watertown has again been privileged to play host to a symphonic group. The Northwest SinjonicUa, which ap])carcd on May 4th, is an ensemble of some twenty pieces, including string, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections. This group and its gifted young conductor, Henry Denecl-cc, cninjjrisc one of the finest organizations of its type in the United States. The Sinfonietta presents a diversified program, obviously intendcfl to please a wide range of musical tastes.

After giving a sparkling jjerformancc of Cimarosa's Overture 1() The Send illarriai/c, the orchestra plunged into the bizarre in the form o( a primitive Du Iray composition. Hail Flower of the Tuscan People. This ancient bit of the past was discovered last year, after having been buried for some 500 years. The cognoscenti c'njoyed it. hut perhaps those wlio could not pent rate its shifting rhythms and snnicwliat disjointed polyplionv would rather it had remaiiK'd in ils hiding place. 丫 lu_ \V( >rk of the evening was Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 in E Uat W(]}or. The Adagio and Andante reflect Mozart's de­ pressed stato of mind at the time the composition was written, but in tlu* sprii,rlitl\ Minuetto and the Finale he is again bis old gay self. The ndcrful Minuetto was one of the high points of the evening.

Tht. second lialf of the program was devoted almost entirely to modern music, the most noteworthy of which was a Poem for Flute and Orchestra, by Charles Griffes. This weird and enchant­ ing tone jx>em is one of the most beautiful modern works that this reviewer luis ever heard. It also gave the flutist, Julia Denecke, a chance to demonstrate her virtuosity.

Another facet of American music was represented by a medley from South Pacific, composed l)y the eminent Mr. Rodgers. Most of the main tunes of the musical were to be found here, pieced togetlier (at times a little thinly) into a concert piece for orchestra.

The ensemble personnel seemed to be right at home in this element, and a special word of commendation should go to the lone trumpet jilaycr, who did a fine job, even though lie could have used a bit of help in the jazzier sections.

Mr. Denecke seems to be a Khachaturian fan, since both the final number on the program and the first encore were provided by that controversial figure. Several other encores were obtained, notably a Minuet in Four, *'With apologies to Paderewski”，to quote the conductor.

This fine concert was the finale of the Watertown Community Concert Series, at least for the present time. It appears that the N.W.C. student body is passively responsible for its termination.

Strange, isn’t it?

A lecturer, Ewald A. Stein presented a program of kodachrome 35 millemeter slides. The method used in this lecture was unique. By the use of two slide projectors ami a wire recorder, Mr. Stein presented a continuous lecture simultaneously with the pictures, Mr. Stein personally did no talking except at intermis足 sion time when he answered any questions which llie audience asked him. The slides were pictures taken by Mr. Stein himself and superb porwell as were specimens of excellent photography .trayal of the state of Arizona.

The first part of the program covered the southern desert sec足 tion of the state. M r. Stein showed the desert country in all its natural beauty, the different cncti, and, what was surprising to at least, pictures of the different cacti in bloom. Before I saw those pictures, the only blooming cactus I knew was lhe Chrislmas cactus. In the second part of the program, Mr, Stein showed pictures of the northern mountuinous territory of Arizona. More were slides of the historical attractions of Arizona and also of the modern dude ranches and the cattle and sheep ranches. The Indians of Arizona were depicted in their way of life especially at the loslivals.

Before he concluded the pictures, Mr. Stein showed views nf the Grand Canyon, the most beautiful natural attraction of nortlnvcstern Arizona.

For those of us who have not had the* opportunity of seeing Arizona or sections of the country like it, this was an especially interesting evening. Those students who come from Arizona luul good reason to feel proud when these pictures of their home state were shown. The students who were foolish enough to stay away missed a chance lo see part of the beauty of their country.

Snake Pit ...

':

NAKE PIT was the movie i-hown ;iftcr the Easter va_W cation. This movie was a portrayal of lhe life inside a stMv hospital for the mentally ill. It was m?inly a piece of great acting

by Olivia de Haviiland. The picture described the rebuilding of the mind of a young mrrriecl woman who had had a nervous break足 down. and showed by me: ns of flashbacks the causes of this nervous breakdown. The movie gave a good picture of the crowded con足 ditions in a state mental institution and of a kind doctor among many hardened nurses and orderlies. On the whole, the picture, since it was not a too pleasant subject, was not entertaining, but it was very informative. It showed that even mental diseases can be corrected so that the person can live a perfectly normal life.

Mr. 880 IV R 8So was a movie about a counterfeiter whom the secret serv vice could not catch. Mr. 880 was an old man, and because his case was unsolved by the secret service for ten years he was called by the number of his file. He was an old junk collector who printed one dollar hills whenever lie needed money. The most he printed in a month was about fifty dollars. But he made one flaw in 'his printing—lie misspelled Washington. In the rooming house wlicrc Mr. 8<So stayed lived a young lady wlio was an interpreter at tlu* U.N. The secret service agent who was on this case accidently fell in love with her and thus became acquainted with Mr, 880 be­ fore lie knew of his counterfeiting. Mr. 880 was a lovable old chap aifd .the secret service agent did not suspect him in the least. After he found out that the old gem was the guilty person, he arrested liini but then pleaded for him at the trial and succeeded in getting the sentence reduced to a mininumi. This movie was the first to he shown witli Ihe aid of the new sound system in the gym. The new arnuig.cim.m made it possible for everyone to hear the whole dialogue and so enjoy the movie.

Short days, long nights of winter past, Spring's finally here* at last.

Tennis and baseball in vogue again, New housing problems for the wrcMi Assignments getting longer (lav by day: ••Students getting lazier/' professors say.

Thanks to the Juniors (alien; j, who picked a perfect day, Ar­ bor Day was a big success again this year. Despite the fact lliat most of the students followed the Seniors’ example and took tlic day off, the job was pretty well done at noon.

At ii o’clock, tilt* Sophs planted the traditional class tree, a hard maple this time, and got it off to an auspicious start by having Prof. Schumann give a little* address. Any good lliat this a<l<lrc*>s may have done, however, was soon counterbalanced by the speech given by Louis “Metliuselali” Meyer.

With nothing belter to do for the rest of tlic day, most oi' llie classes went on picnics, etc, (mostly etc.)—no casualties rcporicd.

Fuhlbriggc: Name two ancient sports R. Pankow: Anthony and Cleopatra This next deals with two seniors who don't particularly care to have their names mentioned, but I’ll give you a little hint anyway.

Their initials are “Dink” Cares and Jack Denninger. They admit­ tedly aren't much good for anything else” but one forte tliey dc have, rabbit hunting. The idea, so they say. is to spot your rabbit (referred to as **wabbit%, by those in the business) out of some class­ room window, and once this has been done, not to be distracted by anything going on in the room, but to keep your eyes glued on the quarry until the end of the period. Then while one holds the atten­ tion of the rabbits by staring him down, the other sneaks up from be­ hind and nabs him. Should the rabbit see through this little trick, you may have to chase him for several miles, but with a little perse­ verance you can usually run him down. I’ve been told that the lavout for this kind of hunting (window arrangement, visible liunling ground, etc., etc.) are excellent from room 102 in the new build­ ing. Try it some time! 氺幸 帘奋 Can you imagine: Musbach up for breakfast ?. .

RED Don't let that guy Kuckliahn get ahold of our English grammar. in that case 've’d certainly have a lot of new idioms to learn.

The* other clay when one of the ballplayers was missing, he deftly sized up the situation for his teammates by staling that they’d have to be* playing with an "extra less’ man that day. That's O.K. Phil; it happens to the best of ’em.

Quite a few of the fellows spent most of their spare time down at Chase’s during the bowling tournament, either helping with the scoring and foul-watching, or just looking around to see what they could sec. ()iu* meets all kinds of interesting people down there, doesn't one, Cliick?

IFcar yt*! Hear yc! The Sophs have come up with a new philosopher in the person of Eddie Stcltcr. While studying aboui coal and its hv-products they were informed that all aniline dyes, used in <lycin^ clothes, are highly poisonous. From this Eddie has drawn his maxim to live by: "Don't eat your shirt.” I suppose all this liappt.iK.d on the same day that lie made another startling discovcM-y- llial a droj) of nicotine on a (log’s tongue is enough to kill a man. I'athom that if you can.

Query of the month : Docs Henning go home week ends to keep his lips in shape for trumpet playing, or does he play the trumpet during the week to keep his lips in shape for the week end?

uBASEBALL GOSLINGS OUTSCORK .MISSION llOUSR TN OPKXI^R Northwestern's Goslings came off victorious in an opening game that was marred by a total of sixteen errors. The Muskic'broke into the scoring column with four runs in the second inning, capitalizing on five hits and two niisplays. Northwestern came bark in the home half to tally six runs on Schulz's single, Steltcr's double, two free tickets, and a variety of errors. It was Mission’s turn again in the fourth, as they pushed across two more markers on four successive singles. The Huskies garnered one more ru 11 in the fifth on infield errors, before capable Eel Stelttf put an end to their scoring. The Goslings enjoyed another big inning in ilu sixth, when twelve men faced the hapless I be, and scored six run' on hits by Schulz and Zimmermann, three walks, and six errors by the sh-'ky Mission defense. Thereafter, both defenses congealed, and the day’s scoring was aided. Schulz collected two hits for tluGoslings, and Stelter exhibited admirable control, walking only batter.

RED XORTHWRSTF.RN WALLOPS SPARTANS Varsity chalked up its second victory in as many starts, as Gosling hitters teed off on three Aurora pitchers for sixteen hits, live of them for extra b«nses. The game gave indications of being a free-scoriiig^ affair in the first frame, when Zimmermann lofted a home run with two aboard, and Winter chased home Dobberstu'n with another circuit clout. Aurora scored in the first on a walk and Merritt's double, and again in tlic tliird, when Wright blasted a two-run homer to deep center field. Northwestern marked up five more in tlic fourth on two singles, doubles by Mueller and Ste! ter, a free ]>ass, and ;m error. Two walks, followed bv Schulz's safety, rcMiltcd in anolhcr run in the fifth; and Merritt stoic hoimj for the Spartans. Rich Winter unlim1)cred liis second four-bagger of the aflcrnoon for two runs in the sixth, and Kuckhalin added one on a double steal. Croshic doubled home two tallies in the home half, and llie score stood at 14-6. The Goslings added to their com­ fortable load with seven bonus runs in the lucky seventh, and addcd one for >od measure in the ninth. The Spartans managed to push acr<»<s (UK. more in their half, at the expense of relief liurler Erliardt Schultz. Winning pitcher was Phil Kuckhahn, who allowed ciglu liits in Ill’s seven inning sojourn. Wintcr and Pankow had three safeties apiece, and catcher Merritt had three of Aurora's rinc hits.

walks, and miscues. Milton tallied in the fourth on two singles and as many errors. Winter’s triple with one man on and a long fly resulted in two Varsity runs in the fifth, and the Wildcats produced their second run on two singles and a ground ball. Schulz led off in the sixth with a knock to left and scored on Manthey^ double, to bring the Gosling total to seven. Natter uncorked a lionie run in the latter half of the inning to shorten Northwestern’s lead to four runs. Then came the fateful seventh. With one away, I .ipke went to second, when Annin Panning collided with the ill-placcd bandstand. P>ua followed witli a single, Matson bounced one <»fT the shade trees for another fluke double, and a wiki pitch let M atsou across the plate. Dame Fortune took a band again in the ninth, when left-fielder Panning was forced to wait for the traffic lights to change, while Matson circled the bases. That tied the score and sent the game into extra innings. A Gosling threat in the tcntli failed to materialize, and the pestiferous Matson ended tlic overtime affair in the eleventh, with a double lo center that drove in Lipke. Ed Stelter, who went the distance for the Varsity, sulTcral his first defeat; and Matson, Milton’s fourth hurler, was credit imI with the victory.

Die Entstehung der Kantate und ihr Gebrauch im

'I，

Lutherischen Gottesdienst des 18. Jahrhunderts. von Herbert Jaster Wenn man c lie Cieschichtc der Kirchenmusik des 17. und 18.

Jahrhunderts liest, vcrwundcrt man sich liber die bedeutende Rolle, welche die Kantate darin spielt. Die Frage drangt sich einem auf, was war die Kantate eigentlich und was i'iir eine Macht hatte sie, dasz sie solch einen groszen Einflusz auf die damaligen Musiker ausiibtc. so (lasz manclie ilir gauzes Leben der Kantatenkomposition wulmctcMi. Man licst von etlichen, die liber 2,000 Kantaten komponiert haben sollen.

Die Zeit war gerade reif fiir die uberzahl von Kantatenkomponisten. l/m (las zu verstehen, musz man auf die Zeit der Reforma­ tion zuruckgehen. Als Luther (lie Liturgie fiir den Gottendienst reviclierte, merztc er das Oftcrtorium der katholishcen Messe aus., be-liielt aber die anderen Teile der Messe und schrieb Kirchenlieder dafur. In der Ordnung der' Messe, namlich vor clem Lesen des Evangeliums und zwisclien clem Evangel ium und clem Singen des Kredos, gab es eine Gelegenheil fiir das Singen eines Kirclienliedes, welches das Evangelium weiter erklaren sollte. Endlich erkannt'e der Musiker, dasz er niclit nur ein neues Kirchenlied fiir jeden 5【

^

M..

Sonntag dichten konnte, sondern dasz er ein Wort Gottes vertonen oder durchkomponieren konnte. Zuerst lialmi man Bibeltexte und komponierte Musik dazu. Diese Komposition wurde eine Motette mit ihreii Rezitativen und Arien m genannt. Aber als die Oper _ Italien entstand, ubte sie soldi eine grosze Einwirkung auf die Mussiker Deutschlands aus, dasz sie bald die Rezitative und Arien ubernahmen. Nun ging die Komposition von der iMotette zu (ler Kun­ tate iiber.

Die Tatsache, dasz man durch die Kantale einen ganzen (ioitesdienst mit Schriftverkundigung, Schriftauslegung und Gemeindeclioral vereinigen konnte, und dasz der Musiker in (ler Kantate gleiclueitig als Gemeinde, als Prediger, und als Evangelist oder Prophet sprechen konnte, iibte einen Zauber auf (lie damaligt-n Mu­ siker, Dichter und Gemeinde aus. Als der Komponist nun nach einem Libretto fur seine Kantate suchte, konnte er nicht die rechto Form fur die Worte des Librettos finden. Fur die Motettenkomposition war das kein Problem, 'veil man die Bibeltexte fur den vic»rstimmigen Chor brauchte. Nun aber, als der Komponist von <ler Motette zu der Kantate iiberging, und Rezitative und Arien c*infiihrte, konnte er sich niclu streng an den Text halten, sonck-rn muszte ihn andern und eine andere Form brauchen. Fur das Rezitativ und dann auch fiir die Arie fand er, dasz die madriga* lische Form der E)ichtung ilinen besten zusagte.

Nacbdem er die madrigalische Form, welche ihm eine grosze Freiheit fiir die Darstellung des Inhalts bot, gefunden haltc, muszte er sich entscheiden, 'vie er den Inhalt darbieten wurde. Als die Kantate sich in der Form vergroszerte, zuerst aus zweii oder drei kurzen Arien und Rezitativen mit Choralschlusz besteliend, unci dann melir und langeru Arien unci Cliore mit Orchesterbeglcitung liinzufiigend, lvatte der Librettist schon drei verschiedene Formen der Darstellung gebraucht. Die erste Art war, dasz man die Sell rift in einer symbolischen Weise auslegte. Die "Vorgangei. Bachs, Buxte­ hude und Bachelbel, erweiterten die erste Art der Darstellung durch die Zufiibrung freier Texte. Die dritte Weise war diese, dasz man die Betonung vom Schriftvvort auf die Auslegung verlegte, so dasz ein Extrem individualistischer Gemutsbewegung erreicht wurde.

Just zu dieser Zeit erschien ein Pastor, namens Neunieister, ein iJbrettoschreiber, welcher (lie groszte Einwirkung auf Badi ausfibte. Er war ein bestandiger Bekampfer des Pietismus und glaubte stark an (lie Kantate als ein Mittel, durch welches man den (jottesdienst verschonern konnte. Im Jahre 1700 erschien die erste Reihe seiner Kantatendichtungen. Bis zum Jahre 1752 erschienen aclit verschiedene Bande seiner Dichtungen. Jedes Buch entliielt ein vollstandiges Kantatenlibretto fiir jeden Sonntag und alle groszeren Festtage des Kirchenjahres. Mit seiner Librettendichtung setzte er Regeln fur andere Librettisten seiner Zeit fest. Der Dich­ ter sollts den vorliegenden Textegedanken in seine vershiedene Ge52

RED sichtspunkte zerlcgen. Diesc solltc cr (lurch Rczitativ unci Arie in Ftehende Formen gieszcn und zwar so, dasz .«ie nur cinen Afifekt darstellten. Der Librettist muszte alles urn das Tliema herum konzentricren, so dasz cler Zuliorcr imiiicr den Hauptgedanken festhielt.

Neumeistcrs Idee, (Ipsjj (lie Kantate nur einen Affekt enthalten oolite% maclitc cs aucli leicliter fiir den Kantatenkomponisten, weil cr den Affekt in seiner Musik besscr nachahmen konnte. Als cliese Art der Kantatenkomposition unci -dichtung popular wurde, machten (lie Pictistin (、iii groszes Geschrei gegen die Kirchenkantaten.

Sic waren zu weltlich gesinnt und weltgewandt. Weil sie Arien entbielten, waren sic zu tlicalralisch, und man konnte sie nie in einem Gottesdienst dulden.

Ncumcistcr vcrtcidigte seine Stcllung mit diesen Worlen: “Ich ha he sclion gosngt, d?sz die Kantate cin Stuck aus der Oper sei, und dasz vide sicli da ruber argc.m werclen und fragen, 'vie man Kirchenniusik und ()pcr versohnen korine. Ich werde micli nicht anstrengen, nm nieinc P»cli;iu])tung zu rechtfertigen, bis man mir eine Antwort auf diesc Kragc gibt: Warum verbannt man nicht die .geistlichen Gesange von (k*r Kirclie, 'velclie friiher Volksliecler waren, 'vie zum Bcispicl ck*n Choral .\’oii Gott will ich nicht lasseiv, der auf die Melodic de> I.iebesliedes 'Einmal tat ich spazieren’ gegriindet ist.”

Durch solclu.* Argumcnte widerlegete Neumeister bald das Geschrei cler Pietiston. Fiir die Pietisten war die Kantate eine Entlieiligimg der Kirchcnumsik, aber fiir die orthodoxen Lutheraner war sic eine Wei hung der wcltlichen Musik.

Vor Baclih Zeit gab es vier Typen der Kantate, Der erste Typus war die Rrbauungskantate, so genannt, weil sie meistens erbauliche Gcdanken mit clem Haupttext verband. Der zweite war (lie Predigtkantale, wclclie eine Sublimierung des kirchlichcn Textes in seiner gedanklichen Zerlegurig durchsetzte. Die Kantate gab eine Auslegung des Textes. Der dritte war die Perikopenkantate, in welcher eine Kette von Betrachtung einem Schriftwort angehangl 'vird. Dies Schriftwort wurde gewohnlich von der Perikopc hergenommen. Der viertc oder letzte Typus war (lie Choralkantate, in welcher der Komponist den Inhalt eines Chorals zerlcgte. So sieht man, was fiir eine N erschiedenheit der Kantaten cs gab.

Diese vier Typen der Kantate waren vorhanden, als Bach sein Werk als Kantatenkomponist anfiiig. Sein Wirken als Kantatenkomponist liiszt sicli in (lrei Perioden zerlegen. Die zwei ersten sincl nichet besonders wiclitig. Bach komponierte nicht viele Kan­ taten in diesen Jahren. Aber als er nach Leipzig ini Jahre 1723 als Kantor der St. Tliomas Kirche gerufen war, Hoszen die Kantaten 'vie ein Strcm aus seiner Feeler. Um das zu verstehen, warum Bach nun so viele Kantaten komponierte, miiszen wir den (lamaligen Gottesdienst kennen.

In der St. Thomas Kirche fing der Hauptgottesdienst uni 7 Uhr 53

RED ) an. Der Gottesdienst begann mit der 1 -iturgie. Naclidem der Pfarrcr das Evangelium gelesen hatte, oder, wie es oft gescliah, gesungcMi liattc, spielte der Organist ein Stuck, welclies die Kantalc einfiiliren sollte. Danii folgte der ersle Tcil der Kantate. Die versan川idle Gemeinde las den Texet der Kanetate, der ilir gedruckt vorlag. ofters sang (lie Gemeinde mit, wenn der Clior die Chorale sang.

Nach clem ersten Tdl sang die ( iemeindc das Kirclicnliccl **\\ ir Glauben all an cinen Gott”. Darauf folgte die Predigt, welchc immer eine Stunde dauerte. Wenn (lit IVedigt zu Elide war iukI der (k.n Pastor gebetel iiml den Segcn gesprnclicn haltc, sang zweiten Teil der Kantate. Die Kantate dauerte ini ganzcn ungefahr zwanzig Minuten. Darm kam die Abendmahlsfeier unci mn 11 Uhr ging die Gemeinde nacli Hause. Fiir jeden Sonnlag, mil \usnahme der letzten drei in der Adventzeit und der sechs der h'astcnzeit, und fiir etlichc Kirchenfeste, muszlc* Bach einc ncue Kantate komponieren. Wir wissen, clasz Bach fiinf Kantatenreilien uusgefuhrt hat, von 'velchen noch einhundertundneunzig Kantalen iibergeblieben sind.

Wenn wir Bachs Leben hier zu l-cipzig als Kanlor (k.r St. Thomas Kirclie genau betrachten, sclicn wir, clasz er ein cclitcr lutherischer Christ war. Als ein Christ wuszte er, dasz seine* Musik und besonders seine Kantaten deni J-Ierrn dienen nunszlen. I n scilien Leipziger Kantaten kommt clieser Cifdanke am deutlisclisli.,n zum Ausdruck. Der Pastor mit seiner Prcdigt und Bach mit seim r Kantats strebten nacli einem gemeinsamen Ziel. In Bachs Precligtkantaten baute er den Text um den Inhalt der Precligt hcruni. M it den Worten des Textes vor sich konnte (lie Gemeincle leicht lolgen, clenn wie Bach selber gestand, war der Chor oft so sclilcclu. (lasz ct die Musik kaum singen konnte.

Als Bach alter wui.de，erkannte er, clasz vide Librettos leidilsinnig und oherflaclilich wt ren. Nacli seinem Prinzip sollte (las Libretto die Gemeinde lehren und sic in ihrem christlichen Glauben starken, Um das zu erreichen, grilT er in das Gesangbuch der Kirchenlieder hinein. Mehr und mebr baute er seine Kantate aut die Chorale der Kirche. In clieser Kantatenform singt der Chor zu•erst einen Choralvers. Dann folgen Arien und Recitative, w el die ibren Inhalt deni Choral entnelimen. Den Schlusz der Kanlatc bildet ein Choral, den die Gemeinde mitsingt. Dieser Typ der Kantate war beinahe Bachs eigner. Er allein war es, der die Kan­ tate .so fest mit deni (’lOUesdienst verljunden lialte.

Bach war der lctzle grosze Kant;*tenkomponist. Xacb seineni Tode ging die Kantalenkomposilionsweise schnell zu Grunde. Der Einflusz der Pietisten herrschte vor und verdarb das Kompositionprinzip fiir die Kantate, welches Ilach festgestcllt batte. Bald horte man keine Kantaten mehr, und man vergasz, clasz soldi ein Mann wie Bach gelebt liatte. Die Kantate war ein Stuck passender Kirchenmusik fur die Zeit vor und wahrend I'achs Leben. L'nser Gottcs54

RED dicnst hat sich aber so verandert. dasz wir lieute (larin eine ganze Kaiitate nicht brauchen konncn. Iis ist hedauerlich, (lasz es so ist, 'veil die Kantaten cine wiclitige Botscbaft bicten, insofern sie Cotter Wort verkiindigen. H ic und da finclet man einc Kirchc, in (ler Chore oder Chorale aus den Kantaten noch gesungen werden.

Wir konncn al>cr (iotl danken, clasz er soldi einen Mann 'vie Bach (ler Kirclic gcsclienkt hat, (ler ihr eine Erbscliaft hinterliesz, ivdchc noch lieute ihren Kinflusz auf (las Leben der Kirclie ausubt

THE FOUNDING YEARS OF THE APACHE INDIAN MISSION C. Spaude

The Cliristinn Church from the very beginning lias experienced .its outward expansion through mis^icnary work carried on among heathen peoples. In our own circles today we find the Synodical Conference、u|)|，(，rting the Colored and African Missions. The Wis­ consin Synod 'iipports the Refugee Mission in Europe and at pre­ sent is seeking to establish a mission in nortlicrn Rhodesia. But we arc especially prornl of the Apache Indian Mission in Arizona, a project founded sixty years ago and sustained through all these vears bv our own Synod. The initial conception of this mission goes back to i SX3 when a resolution was passed bv Synod, then meeting in M iiwaukee, authorizing the president to appoint a corn­ mittee of five pastors to investigate the various existing mission or­ ganizations ami to select one which Synod might support. The fol­ lowing year the committee reported that il was unable to find a suit­ able organization because of doctrinal differences. - Thus confronted by a blank wall. Synod resolved to establish a new mission field, training men in ils institutions and supporting them out of the allotted funds. Six years later, in 1891, this same committee was liappy to report that it had three students preparir^ to become missionaries: John Plocher, (George Adascheck, and Paul Mayerlioff. Afeter completing their first year at our Seminary . in Wauwatosa, these three were eagerly awaiting the completion of the remain­ ing two years of the course to become the Wisconsin Synod's first called missionaries Synod then began considering various Helds of operation. Jaa choice prospect. But upon learning from Inpan was marked (lian Agents that the Southwest needed missionaries. Synod decided to investigate the possibilities there. Pastors Theodore Hart wig of Hclenville, Wisconsin, and Otto I I. Koch of Columbus were sent to reconnoiter in that section, and they left in November of 1892. Four weeks later they were back in Wisconsin, where they made a full report of their trip. Since no missionary had ever set foot among llie Apaches living on the San Carlos Reservation, they heartily rc55

M,

commended that territory as a potential mission field.

At this point in our history the Joint Synod of Wisconsin and body elected a seven Other States was established, and this man commission to assume full control over the prospective mission project in Arizona.

The following year then marks the birthday of on r Apaclic I li­ dian Mission, for on October 4, 1893, in a special service conducted at St. Mark’s here in Watertown, Candidates Plocher and Adasclieck were formally commissioned as missionaries. Five days la­ ter they were on their way to Arizona.

The whole of Arizona had been divided into two large reser­ vations for the Apaches after they had been subjugated by the mili­ tary in 1886. As a dividing line the Black River separates the land into a northern and southern section. The upper half, known as the land of pines, is a mountainous region abounding in game and for­ ests. It was called the Ft. Apache Reservation, with beacU|nartcrs * at the military outpost of the same name. The southern or lower half was called the San Carlos Reservation after its military post. It is noted for its mysteriously disappearing rivers and its beautiful flowers, from which it got its name, the land of desert flowers. A rizona thus varies greatly in climate and terrain, but its scenery is impres­ sive everywhere. Or as one Christian Apache stated, in all reverence, “While God worked hard to create the rest of the world. He just played here in the interests of beauty.”

After their arrival at San Carlos, Missionaries Plochcr and Adascheck selected Peridot, located nine miles above the agency, as the site for their first mission station. In a short time a parsonage and a chapel were erected. The latter was also to serve as a school­ room. The fruits of missionary labor were slow in coming, but Plocher recorded four baptisms during the early ^vears as he worked with some twenty half-wild Apache children in the schoolroom. Un­ fortunately, Missionary Adascheck left near the end of 1894 because of difficulty with the Apache and English languages, and Plocher accepted a call to Minnesota five years later in 1899. So Missionary Mayerhoff of Ft. Apache filled the vacancy until seminary graduate Carl Guenther arrived in the early part of the year 1900. I .ater Teacher Rudolph Jens of Two Rivers, Wisconsin,was sent to help in the classroom. The splendid progress of both school and mis­ sion was highlighted by the vacation visit of Pastor Gustav Har­ ders in 1905. Granted a year’s leave of absence because of ill health, Pastor Harders sought relaxation and at the same time pursued bis interest in missions at Peridot.

On ihe recommendation of Missionary Plocher the upper or Ft. Apache Reservation had beeen selected by the General Synod meeting in St. Paul in 1895 as the field of the second mission sta­ tion in Arizona. The third of the three students, Paul Mayerhoff, 56

RED had then been sent to Arizona in 1896. On the East Fork River three miles above Ft. Apache he founded the mission later known as ICast Fork. This location was a choice one, having all the requirements of an ideal station: good water, many Indians nearby and remoteness from the Agency.

Living in a tent for six months Missionary Mayerhoff singlehandedly built a i>arsonage in 1898. After the arrival of Teacher ()tlo Sclioenberg in 1902, they together erected a chapel and school­ room. Tlie mission prospered, but Maverliofl* accepted a call to Ne­ braska in 1903. Me was replaced the next year by Candidate Hcnry Haase of Ixonia. The same year, 1904, Schoenberg was ordained n full-dedgecl missionary, after passing a colloquim before the semi­ nary facility, "l'lius he was enabled to continue the thriving mission at East Fork when Haase was sent to minister to the Indians liv­ ing above (Jlobc in 1906. Four years later student Edgar Guenther was called to succeed Schoenberg who liad been transferred to Cibecuc. Missiounrv Guentlier was appointed superintendent of the Apaclie Indian Mission after the death of Harders in 1917. Today after forty years Ik* is >till an active missionary in Arizona.

Located outside the western boundary of the San Carlos Reser­ vation, the Mnall town of Globe iiad become the mecca for scores of Apaches migrating from San Carlos and Peridot in the year 1905 when heavy rains lloodcd tlieir lands. In (ilobe they sought work in the rich cn|>pc*r mines. Realizing the splendid opportunity for mission \vc»rk 1 'astor Harders, still on his vacation, began preach­ ing at Globe, hut he soon returned to his congregation in Milwaukee.

Then Missionary Haase of I£ast Fork was sent over to continue the work. Shortly thereafter he accepted a call to Minnesota.

I11 1907 Pastor Harders returned as missionary for the new station of Globe and as superintendent of the whole mission field.

The results of his work were gratifying and warranted the services of another man, who came in the person of Candidate E. Recknagel.

As a student in the St. Louis Seminary he displayed a great inter­ est in our mission and was called by Synod to help Harders.

The school opened by Harders prospered. At one time lie journeyed with President Bergemann to Washington, D. C. From the officials there they secured the release of two Indian girls whom the government agents at San Carlos had removed from the mission and placed in the federal boarding school. Assisting Harders were such capable teachers as his two daughters, Teacher Gurgd and seminary student Henry C. Nitz. Unfortunately, his health was failing and Candidate Alfred Uplegger was called in 1916 to take over the school. On April 13, 1917, Gustav Harders, an outstanding missionary and author of several books about Apaches, died.

Mention must here be made of Missionary Uplegger's father, Pastor F. Uplegger, who followed a call to Arizona in 1919 as general missionary. Through intensive study he has mastered the Apache 57

language and today is considered the authority Oil it. Me has also devised a simple alphabet so that this dilTicult language* may now be written， Cibecue, the fourth mission station, is located on the Cibccue River, fifty miles northwest of Ft, Apache. Previously, Soln：cnl)cry： from East Fork had visited this region and had begun to minister to its friendly inhabitants. So in 1911, when Synod decided to open another station, Sclioenberg was sent to Cibecue and llu- mwssar.v buildings were erected. However, in November of tho next year he left and Candidate A. Zuber1)icr came as his successor. This small mission unfortunately has suffered many vacancies in its liistorv. but today it is a thriving station.

Our Apache Indian Mission by this time was firmly established.

Bylas, Its roots had grown deep. Other stations were later Whitewater, New San Carlos and Upper Cibecue: l.ut ilu-^c were founded with less difficulty, for the work of our missionaries ami the Gospel they preached were respected by all. The ''Macedonian call" to bring the Word of God to the Apaches had come in tlic report of Koch and Hartwig in 1891. Its answer was shortly forth­ coming in the arrival of our first two missionaries in 189J. Two stations were established by 1900, while the next twenty-five years saw eight other missions opened for preaching and inslrucling Ciod's Word. To date more than 4000 Apache Indians have been hapti/.ed, and the present enrollment in our mission schools exceeds 400.

Surely, the Hand of the Lord is with us always!

WEST MADISON STREET CONVERT Overheard in the Greyhound bus depot, at Twelfth and Wa­ bash in Chicago was this remark of an elderly lady to Ikt compan­ ion, “Say, Estelle, wliat did that good looking minister mean yester­ day when he said that criminals lots of times get religion and go straight for a while That remark, casual as it may stem, reflects the shallow level of modern religions and, consequently, the confusion produced on a listener to any exponent of such a religion. To the elderly lady ami thousands of others like her, religion has become a force for social betterment only and not a force for tile spiritual needs of the soul.

Modern religion likes to call itself Christian, but in the hundreds of little sects springing up, rarely does one find Christ even men­ tioned, and if He is. He stands as one to be emulated by the people but not to lie taken too seriously. Many ministers of these sects openly admit that they do not study the Bible, but rather that they page through the latest psychology books and draw their ideas for their sermons from them. While it is true that psychology has ad­ vanced greatly in the last two decades, the fact still remains that it

58

RED is a study of man's ljehavior by men, and therefore, as a source of comforl for the soul, how can psychology ever take the place of Ciod's pure and simple Word?

To better illustrate how the Holy Ghost is able to work repen­ tance quite capably and effectively thru the Gospel alone without the aid of modern psychology textbooks and sugar-coated words, here is a true story of liow a gutter bum became a Christian. He was one of tliL* luindrc*cls of human derelicts of the cement and steel jungle of Chicago's lower Clark and West Madison Streets.

I'o \ incc. a broken down ex-dishwjisher from East St. Louis, the only rcasnii for living was contained in a bottle. If he could Imy, steal, or even if he h.nd to hold up a liquor store, he just had to have his wliiskoy.

One July dnv as the sun shimmered off the streets and probed the garbage iilK-ri'd alloys, Vince lurched accidently into a Rescue Mission in lilt- i 100 block on West Madison Street. Vince was broke—noi an uncumniun occurrence* among human derelicts一and he also was nn liis way out—out of everything. It seems a skid row bum can sense when his time is up and if it doesn't come when lie thinks ii sliould, he promptly hangs himself on the nearest telephone po>t. A sordid picture r Ves, but it is one that is drawn cvcrv chy. X'ince, loo, might have ended this way had he not si)ra\vled into iIk* open door of the Mission. When he regained consciousness he was resting on dean slieets in a cool room, and he smelled the aroin.u (:>f freshly made coffee. He became nauseated.

Soon a short huskv man came over to his bed and asked him if he wanted some coffee and doughnuts. **Drinka, driiika,” Vince mumbled. Like so many alcoholics lie suffered acute D. T/s—delirium tremens, and the short husky man knew the symptoms. He poured Vince a double shot of wliiskev to calm him clown. He then began reading from the Gospel of St. Luke in the Italian Bible. lt was August 25th, exactly a month after Vince’s latest exctirsion with asli-can liquor. In his case, that clay was the clay for the most excruciating test of an alcoholic. They had slowly eased him off tlie bottle and had substituted staple food into his diet. Today he would get no liquor at all, Vince suffered as only an acute al­ coholic can suffer when he conies off the stuff. Thoughts—all torn and shattered—raced through his clouded brain. Flashing, distort­ ed pictures of his childhood on the streets of Naples, of his trip on the ocean, of the woman on New York's East Side, and finally of But mixed in Mick’s Diner on Highway 66 in East St. Loui with these endless mumblings he kept repeating, 4*Grazi, grazi, Salvatore” and would then recite in Italian the story of Jesus and, the lost sheep. The short husky man felt as though he could actually see the devil and Jesus fighting for this man's soul.

After the crisis had passed and Vince finally snapped out of his stupor he begged the short husky man to read and re-read the stories of Jesus in the Italian Bible. Dominic was very patient with Vince and soon he saw that Vince had reached the point wliere ho began to understand the meaning of the often-repeated words. Soon Dominic told him that he could no longer help him and that he would send the city missionary of that district to see him.

After several months Vince again got a job as dishwaslicr at an all-night eatery in Cicero Avenue. At the present time lie's still \v orking there, a confirmed Christian rather than a confirmed alcoholic.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ;52 The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty Two had its heginnings on October 2, 1944. Sixty-one boys and five girls emulled in the Sexta class for a total of sixty-six. However, the number be­ gan to decrease immediately, and by the end of the year only tit tvnine remained. Of the original number we have fourteen graduating this spring. They are: Backhaus, Bein, Bitter, Buss, Cares, Free, Gieschen, Kolander, Lichtenberg, Manteufel, Musbach, RockholT, Westerhaus and Zenker.

The next fall found our ranks were greatly depleted. Only thirty-four returned to begin their second year. To thest- were added five more, which brought the total to thirty-nine. Paul Manthev remains of these five.

Our loss the next fall was not nearly as great. We lost live but gained four new members, bringing our total to thirty-eight.

It was Herbert Jaster who became a fellow classmate that year and has remained so to the present.

I11 our Tertia year we gained no new members, but eight dropped out from the previous year. Thus in the spring of J4S i class of thirty graduated from the prep department. This marked the halfway mark for our clays here at Northwestern.

The next year brought much new life to the class. From D. M. L. C., Beckendorf, Bittorf, Denninger, Schultz, Spaude, and Zimmermann joined the class. Hoenecke and Peter came from M. L.. .S. And Yecke came from Lutheran High in Milwaukee. In ad• dition to these and to the twenty that returned from our prep de­ partment, there were several town students and coeds. In all they numbered fifty-one.

In our sophomore year our number dropped, as is customary.

With the addition of Shekner, our count was thirty-three. Shekner was originally a member of the class of ’51 but dropped out a year to attend classes at the University of Wisconsin.

60

RED Seven boys joined us at the beginning of our junior year. From Betliany there were Bocrncke, Olmanson and Theiste; from Con­ cordia, Milwaukee, Bartclt and Kell; and from D. M. L. C., Backer and Schmidt. However, six did not return and another dropped out during tlu* year, leaving the total minibcr the same as the pre­ VlOllS year's一tlii rty-tlircc.

The sanu* class canu* hack tlic following September to finish their last year. Now that long awaited goal is here.

This immediately turns one’s thoughts to the future. The ma­ jority of tlu- class plans to conlimu.* tlidr training for the ministry at the seminary at Tliieiisville. Two are continuing instead at the Bethany .Seminary, iwo otlicrs will answer Uncle Sam’s call to the armed foivos, and anotluT will continue liis studies at Milwau­ kee State TcaclicrV College. I«iit no matter what our occupation mav be separated, we will always remain the Class how tai of ’52.

Rumor has it that some of the old tomes at the Sem arc due for a dusting, so that means Herbert has a place waiting for* him.

MYRON RONALD KELL

“Mike”，as lie is generally known, came to N.W.C. from Con­ cordia College in Milwaukee, where he went through high school and two years of college. Since he stayed at home when lie went to Concordia, he got his first taste of dorm life up here. In the past two years of school “Mike” lias established quite a record, for he has gone home every week end lo enjoy home cooking, he says, but there is another reason for this weekly trip. A certain person of tin* weaker sex probably has more to do with it than anything else. No wonder he always has a cheerful smile for everyone. This past year be spent his spare time working at Brandt’s Automatic Cashier Co. In spite of his busy day "Mike” still found time to sing in Uk. Mixed Chorus. Last year, however, when he had more time, he partici­ pated in intramurals and also sang in the Glee Club. Besides sing­ ing, his hobbies are music and reading, l ie also eiijoys playing an occasional set of tennis and likes lo swim. Next fall he inu*!ids to enter the Seminary, where he will continue his studies. ]?roni there* tlie week end trips into Milwaukee won’t be quite as long.

PAUL HERMAN KOLANDER

Paul Herman Kolander, or “Kolie” as he has been Ragged by his classmates, is a veteran campaigner of Northwestern, l lo first graced these halls with his presence eight years ago and since tlien has actively participated in inlra-niurals and Male Chorus.

He takes his baseball seriously, having been baseball manager for the past three years. In addition to this he has the added bur­ den of being a Cub fan. This genial young man played football until his senior year when the old bones must have run out of gas.

Kolie apparently is a man who didn't know when lie was well off, having moved from the sovereign state of Wisconsin into the barren wilderness of M innesota.

He is not always willing to start a bull session, but once it’s underway he does his best to get in and pitch with the rest. Kolie is one of the more conscientious Seniors and spends a lot of time at his desk—but all of that to his credit. Paul will go on to Tliiensville next year, and we sincerely wish him the best of luck.

HERBERT FREDERICK UCHTENliERG

Iron Ridge, W is.

Our man Herbie was born into the proud community of Iron Ridge on January 28, 1931. '•Stein" is a loyal member of that unique society of fanatics who classify themselves as “Cub-fans”. A lusty rooter at all athletic affairs, Herb does not confine his sports activi­ ties to oral exertion, but is an enthusiastic participant in the intra­ mural program. In fact, he is regarded as one of the best softball out­ fielders in the league. Although he is generally a quiet fellow in class, 68

RED I lerbic freely expresses his views on any controversial matter in no uncertain terms. All this vocal exercise lias served him well in his role as a second tenor in the Male Chorus, and in the Vocational School Mixed Chorus. Herbie enjoys an occasional novel and rates German his favorite subject. Eight years at Northwestern have not served to convince I Icrhic of the worth of woman, but 've’re hoping lie docs a bit of research work at the Sem next year. Good Luck, “Stein”.

The gradualing Seniors have Julius as the shortest member of their class. I lo was Ijorn in Neenah, and still has his home there.

Julius may he slum in lieight, but lie apparently isn't short on apj^cal to a momlKT of the opposite scx. At least a quite definite report has ii ilial lie takes every opportunity to make weekend trips to his lioim' town. “Jack”，as lie sometimes is known, graduated from parndiial qradc school and then came to Northwestern, where he lias now o >ni]ilotecl liis full eiglit years of schoolfng here before going on to du Seminary ;it Tliieiisville. During his Frosh year lie w as chccrlcjuK v in^othcr with his tall counterpart, Yccke. He then jjoured his i iu-roy into various jobs, which included jockeying a cab in his Junior vrar and working at the Waukesha Foundry until Thanksgiving of tliis last school year. He is interested in the me­ chanics of cars. This apparently is a necessity when the condition • of his car is considered. Archery and cartooning also take up more of his time. However, it seems that his week ends are still his most important liohliy. W'c hope that Julius, tliougli short in height, will be long in true micccss in liis coming years at Thiensvillc and thereafter.

PAUL AI.BICkT M A NT HEY

Kcnoslia, Wisconsin

()nc of ilic tew Seniors who, in all his years here at N. W. C., lias surprisingly not acquired an .‘alias’’. That's one thing that can be said for Paul. Of course, we could call him the “other half”.— of the Hitter-Manthey duo. that is. To write about one of these two almost unavoidably necessitates at least some mention of the other. After nil, they both lived in the same room and ate at the same tabic the last four years, so they could hardly avoid doing a lot of other things together. For a description of Paul, one could use tile phra'C that has often been applied to him on previous oc­ casions, “the strong, silent type”. It’s a “slioe” that really fits him Paul’s “to _a T”. And speaking of T's brings to mind the one joy lin____ life (,、o far), football. Didn’t he spend four years proving that point hy giving us an out standing performance as a back-field man on the Varsity? Among his other accomplishments arc four years on the Varsity’s baseball team and just as many on the athletic board.

FRANK JOHN MUSBACH

M*

According to Hoyle a man who lives on a golf course should be a fairly good golfer. So it is that Frank Musbacli, \\ amvatosa s gift to Northwestern, is just that. You might say tliat I*rank lias advantage there, living right on the golf course of the Blucmouncl Country Club, but it's all in the game.

Frank is also partner to some sort of record which, however, will be broken at graduation. Frank and Allen Zenker have been classmates for the past sixteen years. This string will l>c l)i okcn Jilter commencement (lay when Allen goes to the Seminary and l'rank heads for Wisconsin State Teachers College.

Somewhere along the line Frank must have deviated from bis golfing ways, for he is due to be married on June 28.

One hobby of Frank’s was always to stay up late 011 Uallnwe'cn to make sure the pool balls were rolled down the stairs, lie will also be remembered for oilier numerous tricks. Best of luck, Frank.

“Olie” is one of the representatives from Beth.iny in Mankato, Minnesota. He was born in St. 1'eter, Minnesota. At the present time his home town has jlist become Watertown, South Dakota.

Keith attended public school through grade school and high school and then enrolled al Iietbany. Here he first majored in chemistry, but then changed to the theological course which he is now folio \ving. After his three years at I'etbany, “Olie” entered Northwestern for his Junior and Senior years in college. Before coming to Norlhwestern, report has it that lie was a track man of some note. In his Junior year lie worked at the Brandt Automatic Cashier Company.

His interests were also turned somewhat to sports. In his Senior year he was a pitcher and fielder on his class intramural softball team. Hunting, fishing, and golfing arc also pursued by Keith. He made trips twice a week to Madison. One trip was for choir practice and on Sundays he sang in the choir. I11 spite of all of these trips to Madison, however, he has not yet succumbed to the charms of any one person of llie opposite sex. Keith intends to continue liis work at the Seminary at Bethany. We hope that his future years are filled with true prosperity.

town is Jcnera, Ohio. He is “Mr. Bowling” at Northwestern. The learn which lie captained ended in fifth place in a tournament at Fort Atkinson this season. Two of his desires arc to get a church with bowling alleys and to howl a 300 game. Besides bowling, Henry likes to do outside work and occasionally gets up early in the morning lo peddle handbills. An acquaintance in Fond du Lac keeps lift* interesting for him. Besides his outside interests, Pete has been able to be a good student who goes to bed early and arises early.

This last year Henry in\ ented a means for kccj)ing the preps from making too many visits in his room during study period.

Did you SCO that blonde .streak racing up the stairs to fourth lloor? Tliat Jim Rockhoff. Doubtless lie’s running to tune in for his favorite polka program. Yes sir, Jim was born in the z^ery heart of the polka country, and his musical tastes have run true to expectations. Jim was a member of the Prep Chorus way back when, but didn't lind time for singing in his college years. You see, lie carries on a trc*mendons correspondence witli fair ones from far and wide, and writing letters is a time-consuming pastime. Not une to make nts presence too obvious in the classroom, Jim never­ theless indulges in an occasional mirtli-proyoking wisecrack that puts the class in an uproar. Sleep is an important part of his daily routine, and to hear him tell it, breakfast is at the wrong time lo suit his schedule. The greatest thrill in his career as a scholar came when he concliictcd Hebrew research at Ixonia. Jim’s out­ going mail will bear a Thiensville postmark next year.

Vic is one* of the three boys in the class who came from Beth­ any in their Junior year. Me hails from the city of Minneapolis. He is a Norwegian through and through md a real Bethany alumnus, priding himself very much in his alma mater. Vic is usually quiet and reserved, although on ce he strikes up a conversation, he is intcresting and friendly to talk to. He directs a church choir in Madison and lias made many acquaintances in our state capital, especi­ ally on tlie University campus, hi fact liis friendly disposition Iiasn，t done so badly in Watertown either. Since he is interested m ' music, Vic sang in the Male Chorus, Glee Club, and Octette in his Senior year. I lc enjoys the bass parts of both instrumental and vocal music.

He plans to teach grade school in Madison next year, and the following year he plans to continue his education at I»etliany Seminary.

He makes good use of it on his visits to Milwaukee State Teachers, where one of the fairer sex has attracted hi? attentions. His car also furnislied transportation for his fellow tourn­ ament bowlers.

Rusty held clown the left guard spot on the football te^m. In his Junior year lie booted all the extra points and thus was one of the few linemen to break into the scoring column.

He has sung in the Male Chorus for the past three years and was a member of the tour chorus. This was not his only opportunity to travel, for past summers have found him working on the boats of I^ake Michigan.

Guns arc* his hobby and he lias availed himself of opportunities to go (leer hunting. Rusty will not follow along the line of liis Dad, who is a orofessor here at Northwestern, but he is beaded for the forces of Uncle S?m. All of us wish him the best of luck.

^bxtovhxi Come, Follow Me ... picture on the cover of this issue is a pliotograph of the painting by Prof. H. Fleischer that is to hang in the dormi­ tory chapel. The theme is taken from the story of the rich young man and Jesus. This man is being compelled to realize that his love for his wealth and the estates that surround him has prevent­ ed him from keeping even the first commandment, although he had just claimed a perfect record for all ten.

But this picture and its title can have a special significance for you graduates. You have completed your education here at North­ western. It has certainly been base(l on this command to follow, since fr.r that specific reason Northwestern was founded—to follow also in the educating of the young. Nevertheless, the curriculum here has not been arranged to serve as a seminary. so that your next step forward will be the entering of such a school, for most of you have chosen to follow Him in a special way, that is, lo serve eventually as pastors of other sheep. To this end you have finished a Liberal Arts course so that your mind and judgment may be pre­ pared for the specialization of a seminary course. To have clone this conscientiously is to have followed well.

That this will 1)e only a maudlin, emotional sentimentality is neither desired nor expected, but we hope that you will leave with a respect and a regard for tin' principles and accomplishments of your school.

''The Physician in Spite of Himself7'— A Forum Presentation ...

TUESDAY, May 20, in the gymnasium, The Forum j^avo 裂a a comedy by the Frenchman Moliere. The play centered around a woodcutter .very capably portrayed by Robert Sclilicln, who was mistaken for a physician, thanks to the conniving of his petu­ lant wife, played by Margaret Timmel. “0(kls-l)obs” Ted .lungkuntz and George Enderle beat the woodcutter until he agreed to become a physician at their insistence that lie was actually one. I »eing a physician was much better than being beaten, was bis decision.

Previous to this, John Chworowsky, as a neighbor, was severely be­ rated by both the woodcutter and bis wife for having the nerve tu suggest the husband should not beat up his wife. The pbysician-inspite-of-himself was then led to Philip Huebner, in the play wcalthy land owner and the father of Phyllis Graf. Phyllis Graf was portrayed as being speechless, an ailment which the physician was to cure. Richard Balge, an attend?nt of the •lumb daughter, correctly told that love, not an impediment of speech, had caused the silence of the daughter who apparently could do no more than make sounds like a braying donkey. Reuel Schulz was the lover who was the cau.ce of the dumbness. His uncle had not yet died and thus had not yet left him a fortune. Consequently, the father could not allow his daughter to marry him. At this point Arnold Koelpin and his SOll in the play, Walter Lexvold, asked the avaricious physician for ad­ vice on curing their wife and mother respectively. This allowed the physician-in-spite-of-himself to show his great knowledge. His pro­ found speech was well filled with Latin phrases, even including the liigblv philosophical “Quod nonsense est”. To return to the plot, the (laughter had decided to play dumb to stay out of a marriage with a different person. With great skill the physician cured the ailment of the daughter by reuniting her with her lover without the knowledge of the father. When her tongue was loosed, such a torrent of words 82

RED

'

flowed out that the father again wished she were dumb. An dopement followed and the physician was found to be merely a woodcutter. When his wife learned he was to be hanged, her one regret was tliat lie had not finished cutting the wood at their home. But the play had its happy ending. The daughter and her lover returned to obtain sanction for an honorable marriage. When the father heard that the uncle of his daughter’s lover had died, leaving a fortune, lie readily agreed to the marriage. Tims the physician was saved and th ])lay was happily resolved.

The cooperation of all members of The Forum made this first major uiKlcrlaking a definite success. Under the direction of John Johannes the slaving was effectively carried out. A curtain was al­ so improvised, witlinut which the production could not at all have been managed as successfully. The director of the play was Prof.

K. C. Kiesslin^, with Arnold Koelpin as student director. Prof.

Kicssling, withoul a doubt, was the driving force which caused the success of tlio ])lav. TIk* acting was capably done by all and left not too much to be desired by the audience except another play.

This final production of the first season showed that The l:onnn lias acliivvol sonicthing which is very tangible. \\re hope that it will contimu' its interest and success in its future, growing years.

THE OPTIMIST The optimist fell ten stories At .each window bar He shouted to his friends: “All right so far’’.

Unknown As it is cn>ioniary to write a biography for the Seniors when lliey graduau-, I think it would be only fitting and proper to write one for «mr dear departing tutor. We won't trace our man Kggert back any umher than his college days right here at N.W.C., where Ik* was known as “Hans”. Allow me to quote a sentence from the bifaphy he got in the Commencement issue of the 1947 15 & R: “Sino； lie first entered the portals of Northwestern five years ago. Mans has acquired the wonderful ability to raise a great deal of pandemonium with a minimum of effort.’’ Enough said. Oh yes, 1k* got his diploma too, and what's more, he also graduated from the Sem. After that he accepted the call as tutor to his alma mater, a position which lie has capably filled for the last two years.

He seems to have made Appleton his second home. Likes the country around there, lie says. Soon enough he’ll be getting a change of scenery, though, because he has accepted a call to Nigeria. We all join in wishing him a safe journey and a pleasant stay in the ••dark continent’’.

P. S. If you'll be real nice to him these last days he may bring you a pet monkey, or a baby alligator, or something like that.

Mark Nitz lias been having his troubles lately. He had definitIv made up his mind to be a minister, and then came that fateful day when he tried his hand at coaching baseball. Ever since lie’s found that he's a natural at it, he’s been in a dilemma; should he coach or preach. While I think of it, I'd like to remind you that the next time you see Mark wearing a bow-tie, take notice of the fact that it’s hand tied. It might also be mentioned that for his birthday he* 35

RED got a stop watch, which he now uses to time himself. According to the latest report he can now tie a bow in 48 min., 8.6 sec. .CAN YOU IMAGINE: A Soph with his Junior rights not shagging out of meals early ?

After a lapse of quite a few years the Forum again tried its liand at a full length play. They chose The Physician In S/'ilc oj Himsclj, and the result was very satisfactory. Stage props, ur rather the lack of them, was the main difficulty, but the committee did a fine job of improvising, even hanging temporary stage curtains.

The open scene, pardon me, opening scene seemed to drag little, but after that it zipped right along.

The play also uncovered some new talent in the person of Reuel “Romeo” Schulz. Critics have hailed him as the ''greatest since Valentino”. The directors of the play had originally planned to have Reuel sing a few choruses of Puyan Love Song, but they reconsidered and finally agreed on the principle that actions sjjeak louder than words. Scluilz’s only comment on the success of his field of endeavor was, “It’s nice work if you can get it.’’’

While paging through some old Black and Reds not tnu long ago I ran across this little poem. I’d like to dedicate it to nil the collegiate co-eds. It，s entitled: A REAL THRILL Last night I held a little hand So dainty and so sweet.

I thought my heart would surely break, So wildly it did beat.

No other hand in all the world Can greater solace bring Than that sweet hand I held last night, Four aces and a king.

• The)， told me this was going to happen, but I didn’t believe ibem.1. No :I see what Cares meant when he said that after you've written the C&C column for year you have to make a completely new set of friends. The old ones won’t talk to you anymore. In case you see me walking around with a whole bunch of police offi­ cers these days, please give me the benefit of the doubt, won’t you ?

Jt may just 1)e an escort to protect me from the people I’ve men­ tioned in the last Campus and Classroom column.

RED This year’s Black and Red banquet broke all records for brev­ ity. Either the speeches or the listeners were too dry. At any rate, by general agreement, it was called off after an hour and a half.

QUERY OF TIIE MONTH : Mow much weight do you think the brewery-workers will gain during their first month of "cMiipIoyment” ？ It seenis to be taking a coon’s age this year for the summer vacation to conic. After writing three columns of this, any change I intend to make the most of my vacation. would be welcome, 1 lope you do the same.

MUSKIRS EVKN SRRIKS, n-6

The Goslings journeyed to i'Wmoutli in quest of another viclnry over the Mission House M uskies, but it was big Carl I he's turn this time, and the Muskies avenged their earlier defeat. 11-6. Kidiic Pankow got Northwestern off to an auspicious start in the fir»l in­ ning with a two-bagger, but was left lu die on second. 1 )o!'l>«.*rstein led off the second with a double to left, and marked on Muel­ ler's single. Three successive blows, after two were out in Uk* tliird, resulted in the Gosling's second run. The Huskies took ihc k-.ul in the fourth on two infield errors, a single, and Schaeffer's llircc-hase knock to right. The Goslings evened matters in the lifth frame, when Manthcy walked, advanced on a passed ball, and scampered across on Kueiining’s miscue. The Muskies went ahead to >tay in the seventh, scoring three times on three hits and a pair of muffs.

Varsity came back v;ith two in the eiglitli, on a pass and two safe­ ties, but the Mission-men staged a five-run splurge in the home half to put the game on ice. Northwestern scored once more in the linul stanza, when M ueller registered on Pankcnv’s fourth hit of the after­ noon, The defeat brought the Gosling's record lo three wins and two defeats.

The Northwestern nine, seeking vengeance for the earlier 11inning defeat, succumbed once more to the big bats of the Milton Wildcats. Leadoff batter Rich Pankow banged out a rouncl-tripper to give the Goslings the lead in the first. The Wildcats replied with a six-run spree in the second: on a single, two free tickets, three wild pitches, three boots，Slia(lcl’s triple, and Briedenbach's double. Milton produced six more tallies with a six-hit barrage in the fourtli.

Varsity garnered its second run in the sixth when Pankow singled, stole second, and scored on Manthcy s single. The Wildcats added 011c more in the seventh lo make it 13-2. Pankow collcted two of the six Ciosling hits, and Hricdenbach had three hits in five trips for Milton.

GOSLINGS JOLT EXTENSION Northwestern rounded out its Badger-Illini Conference sched­ ule with a 9-1 victory over Milwaukee Extension. The Goslings, aliead all the way, played errorless ball behind the five-hit twirling of Erhardt Schultz. Schultz tabulated four hits in as many trips to aid his own cause. Three hits and a pitch that clipped Mueller resuited in what proved to be the winning runs in the second. The Goslings batted around in the fourth to net four more. Winter singled to open the frame, and was shewed in by Reuel Schulz's cir­ cuit clout. Schultz doubled to left-center and came across on Panko'v’s blow to left. Manthev strolled to advance Pankow, and Dobberstein's single brought in the fourth tally. Extension salvaged its lone marker in the fifth, when La Barbera walked, stole second, an«l counted on Larsen’s single. The Milwaukee agggregation threat­ ened once more in the sixth with a walk and a keystoner by Gavran, but the threat died. Varsity picked up three more for the road in the ninth. The victory gave the Goslings a 4-3 final record for COllfcrencc play.

The Junior Badgers' Johnson turned in a two-hit effort to shut out the Goslings in a game played at Madison. Panning and Zinimermann hit safely in the third frame to spark Northwestern's on­ ly threat, and to deprive Johnson of a no-hitter. The J-\ 's scored twice in the third on a trio of basehits. The sixth saw two more Badgers cross the platter, as Silampa whacked a double* wilh two aboard. Stelter allotted ten scattered hits and the \arsitv played air-tight ball, but it wasn't a booming clay for tlie Goslings lmts, as Johnson whiffed nine men. Northwestern now has an overall record of four victories and four defeats, with the game against State Prison still to be played.

PSALM I “That man is blessed,” saith our God, “Who would not sit nor walk Nor in the way of sinners stand Nor with the scornful talk, “But whose delight is in the law Which God himself hath giv’n， In which he both by night and day To meditate hath striven. ‘*The righteous shall be like the tree Placed near the river’s water Who in his time his fruit brings forth, And all his work shall prosper.

“The righteous way our God doth know, But not the sinners way.

Ungodly men are like the chaff Which wind doth drive away.

MUSIC AND CULTURE

v Hv .

Jerry came into the room, flipped the switch on his radio, and spun the dial to his favorite station. Soon hot jive blared from the speaker, and Jerry tapped his toe in accompaniment to the violent, twisting rhythms. Nonchalantly he opened a book and paged to tlie day’s assignment. The wail of a saxophone bored through his thoughts, and Jeny closed his eyes tightly and rocked back and forth in ecstasy. Sax simply “sent“ him every time he lieard it.

The book lay open in front of him.

How many people are there like Jerry? Their musical taste includes swing, jazz, dixieland, blues, and that,s, all. The heaviest form of music which they can digest is that type which blares from the juke-box in the teen-age hangout. They arc strictly “shoithair”，and they look with aversion upon anyone who enjoys classical music. 'That longhair stuff,” they say “is strictly for creeps.” Is this your viewpoint too? This article is written es_ pecially for you.

We are going to school for the purpose of obtaining an education, and, educated persons should appreciate the cultural side of life. By culture we mean the enlightenment and refinement of taste acquired by intellectual and aesthetic training. If, now, you have no appreciation for classical music, one of the higliest forms of culture, people are going to wonder just what sort of education and training you received that left you such an uncultured, unin­ formed person. I feel that it is imperative that everyone who wishes to call himself educated cultivate his innate love of the beautiful and broaden his taste so that it includes classical music.

In the preceding paragraph I used the phrase “broaden his taste” in order to avoid being misunderstood. This article is not meant to be a tirade against people who like popular music. I enjoy it myself, and I am not advocating that “pops”lovei.s attempt to refine their taste to the point where popular music will become anathema for them. What I am deploring, however, is the settled antipathy toward classical music found among some in our student body. Such an aversion is a sign of immaturity and hardly befits college students.

If you are strictly a popular music fan, why not try to broaden your taste? You will gain another personality. You will still enjoy listening to Les Brown or Ralph Flanagan, but you will also ap­ preciate a concert given by Fiedler and the Boston Pops. Stan Kenton and h^s band have their place in your music world, but make room for Pierre Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

93

RED Doris Day’s singing makes nice listening when you are in the mood for it, but there is also a time for Rise Stevens. Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, and Count Basie are certainly artists in their par­ ticular field of music, but do not scoff at Heifetz, Rubinstein, and Piatigorsky.

Classical music lives from age to age, whereas popular music dies a relatively quick death. A song like the Bell Sisters’ Bermuda filled the air waves for about two months, but now you don’t hear it unless you time in Memory Time where the “old” favorites are revived. People tire quickly of a popular tune.

For one to attempt to refine his taste to the point where he will no longer enjoy popular music, however, is also to be chided.

I must confess, I myself do not have much of a fondness for jazz； but who am 1? Twenty million other people do like jazz, and it would be bumptious superciliousness and intense parochialism on my part to twit them for turbid taste. I would simply be sawing. off the branch on which I sat. After all, jazz writers and progres­ sive modernists like George Shearing are greatly influenced by Bach； and I do like Bach. Many popular songs are plagiarized from the classics, to bo sure, but the opposite is also true. Consider the works of many of our contemporary composers. Listen to Gersh­ wins Concerto in F. Can anvone deny that he was strongly influ­ enced by our own American jazz?

Classical music still retains a tinge of unapproachable elegance for too many people. If you have this notion, get rid of it. Classi­ cal music is for everyone. It is aesthetic, and human beings are naturally endowed with an innate love for beauty.

The study and appreciation for good music was of the highest importance to the ancient Greeks. A man preparing for leader­ ship in Plato’s Utopia would have to study music from the age of ten to sixteen. This great thinker considered music so important that a young man should devote six years of his life to it. Why this emphasis on music at the impressionable age of ten? The answer is that music exerts a tremendous influence upon everyone who comes into contact with it. Greek boys were trained as athletes until the ajre of ten； but the Greeks did not want a nation of prize­ fighters and weight-lifters, for to be merely an athlete is to be nearly a savage. Plato asks, “How shall we find a geintle nature which has also great courage? — for they seem to be iinconsistent with each other.” He found his answer in music. Through music the soul learns harmony and rhythm, ad also acquires a propensity toward justice. Plato asks, “Can he who is harmoniously const­ ituted ever be uniust? Is not this, Glaucon, Why musical training 94

RED is so popular, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the secret places of the sou 1, bearing grace in their movements and m aking the soul graceful?” Plato realized that his Utopian state had to begin in the body of man； and music was a great influence for goodness in man. Daniel O’Connell realizes this also. He writes, “Let me write the songs of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.” After seeing how much emphasis these great men place upon music, let everyone take care to choose good music for his close companion during his period of development, even as he would choose good friends an幺 a good wife.

Music is a peculiar language which is understood by the emotional inner man. It is able to evoke certain moods in us as no other power can. Love, joy, sorrow, hate, exuberance, terror, compassion, strength, melancholy, suspense, or loneliness are some of the moods and emtions which music is able to arouse. Music can incite a .person to the highest peak of physical exertion, or it can lull one to sleep. It is the violent tempo of music which inspires the savage to dance with wild abandon until overcome by exhausion, but it is also music which calms a madman’s unruly raving.

One may realize the personal benefits that will accrue f rom a knowledge of the world’s great music, but he may be at a loss as to the best way to enter this vast field. The best way for the tyro to obtain a basic, working knowledge of classical music, 1 think, is through the medium of recordings. Modern methods of musi­ cal reproduction are more than satisfactory. One may pick the work of his choice performed by his favorite artists, and informa­ tion about the composer and the composition will be found includ­ ed. A recording will be more appreciated and better understood the more often it is played.

Since'popular music has great appeal because of melody, the pops fan would do well to become acquainted with Tchaikovsky first of all. His works are built around very beautiful themes.

Compositions like the Nutcracker Suite or the Swan Lake Ballet are rich in fanciful melodies. Another composer of the same school, Rimsky-Korsakov, also wrote very melodious works, the most fam­ ous of which is his Sclwherazade. This work has the same oriental flavor as the Nutcracker Suite.

Popular music also is rich in rhythm, especially Latin Ameri­ can music. If you like the rhythm of Percy Faith’s arrangements, you will also enjoy works like Ravel’s Bolero or his Daphnis and Cliloe Suites. These works are rythm pieces of the more modern school of French composers known as the Impressinists. These compositions are exquisitely wrought, containing multi-colored, ir• y

95

RED ridescent passages and ravishing harmonic devices.

Perhaps you are the lortunace possessor of a vivid imagination.

It so, you cannot but enjoy tile numerous works of the French master ot impressionism, Debussy. He has taken up his musical pallet and has painted pictures ot nature which coulcl not be cap­ tured on canvass by any artist His Clair de Lune is an unrivaled musical painting ot moonlight delicately imprisoned as it glimmers oft the trees, the waves, and the earth. His Three Nocturnes portray the slow .solemn motion or the clouds moving across an immu table sky, the restless dancing rhythms of the atmosphere with its abrupt flashes of violence, and rinally the mysterious song of the sirens arising from the moon-silvered billows of the sea. The Afternoon of (i Faun is a liauntingly beautiful work with sensuous harmonies in which perfumes, colors, and sounds correspond to each other. That is musical impressionism. It is aligned with the Symbolist movement in poetry and the Impressionist movement in painting, all revolutions against literalness. The concrete object was discarded and the emotion which the object compelled was expressed. But it takes a fanciful imagination to get the most out of this musical imagery.

The compositions which I have mentioned so far would be listed with tin* desserts on a musical menu. I mentioned them first, because I consider them some of the best works for weaning a person away from the milk of popular music. Everyone likes ice cream and tasle-tickling pastry, and the “chestnuts” (pieces which everyone likes) which I have recommended so far are fine for tanta­ lizing the taste of the musical tyro； but it is also essential to par­ take of something heavier, the meat and potatoes of your musical meal, that is, works bv the old masters, men like Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert. The hauntingly beauti­ ful themes of Tchaikovsk)% the mesmerical, fascinating rhythms of Ravel, and the emotional moods evoked by Debussy are delicacies.

To round out vour musical taste, however, you must learn to appredate the finesse, the precision, and the harmonic perfection of the old masters. Aristotle said that the noblest art appeals to the intellect as well as to the feelings； and this intellectual pleasure is the highest form of joy to which a man can rise. The compositions of Haydn appealing to the intellect, are important. You may not enfov them at first, for tliev are heaw and substantial, but，as is the case with Milton’s poetry, the more you listen, the more you will admire. And one does not have to be a pundit like Deems Taylor to appreciate Bach or Mozart. A little knowledge picked up desultorily bv the musical dilettante will suffice for under­ standing.

After having explored the works of the old masters, it would be well to turn to the vast field of modern and conte mporary mus.c. You will have developed a taste for good music, and you will have absorbed the basic fundamentals and constituents comprising good form, harmonies and sequences, structure and development.

You must, however, have a musical background to use as a criterion for what is good and what is bad among what is new.

The works of the progressive modernists are fascinating, for they put to use new discoveries in harmony, rhythm, and musical materials which the old masters never heard of. Consider Schoen­ berg and Milhaud. Schoenberg was an untiring revolutionary who was never satisfied with what had been accomplished. He was a pathfinder in music as Cezanne was a pathfinder in art and Columbus a pathfinder in exploration, He was the learned founder and exponent of the twelve-tone principle, and Milhaud is continu­ ing his experiments where he left o任.

Other important contemporaries are Ralph Vaughn Williams, the dean of living British composers, and Messiaen, a brilliant young Frenchman. William’s Symphony No. 6 in E Minor is vital, compelling and original in its highly polyphonic texture, but what is most important is that its intense emotional expression is not veiled by incoherence in form. It is equally balanced in form and content and demonstrates the apex of ability to which this artist has progressed. Messiaen, on the other hand, in his L'Ascention shows the profound religious feeling and dramatic atmosphere of Cesar Frank, but his harmonies are far advanced.

The music of the various contemporaries is as new and interesting as the time in which we live. It is a mirror vvhich reflects the emotions, the ideas, the spirit, and the nervous energy of our age. The big three, the men of first significance, the men who have contributed the most to its advance are Schoenberg, Bartok, and Stravinsky.

I am, for the moment, taking a special interest in Stravinsky.

Looking at this works as a whole, one notices that his style contains both constant and variable elements. The rhythmic element is constant, for throughout his productive career he has developed it in a consistent manner. Harmonic and contrapuntal elements, on the other hand, are variable in Stravinsky’s first period, but be­ come and remain constant thereafter. The melodic factor varies from work to work. It is constant when it stems from harmonic structure but variable when the composer uses it as an autonomous element. Finally, there is the important element of sound texture, the overall sound of a work which results from the way the har97

RED monies are handled. Composers of the non-romantic period alloted a non-functional role to sound texture, each composer making his own concept of sonority a constant feature of his work and thus making it appear to be part of his personal language. One can easily tell by the sound texture whether one is listening to Mozart or Handel. Stravinsky’s sound texture, however, varies from work to work, and it is purely a function of the subject matter. It is impossible to imagine Petroiichka with the sound texture of Le Rossignol or The Rake*s Progress, a new work which we in this country heard for the first time over C. B. S. this September 14.

One might sav that Stravinsky’s sound texture becomes the bridge bevveen subject matter and musical realization. It plays a purely functional role, as does his melodic element. I call these facts to the attention of the beginner not in order to sound pedantic but merely to show how one’s ability to analyze a composers works or those of a junto of composers increases with knowledge gained by experience.

Everything must have a beginning. If you have not as yet opened the door to the richly ornamented chamber of this art, do not hesitate to do so. The pleasures which you will find there will be a rich reward for any effort or expense on your part, Pursue the peculiar pleasures there as a dilletante, and before long you will become a connosieur. How I envy the tyro, He enters the chamber as a child, and each object that he finds therein is new and strange and beautiful.

Harold Gawrisch

A FUTURE NIGHTMARE ??

I had a funny feeling. I was no longer in the present. The years seemed to fly past. And I saw America flying past too. She was a magnificent sight at first. Maybe a little bit dirty around the edges. But she was still a good solid melting pot with a strengthening mixture of God-fearing people. Then as America, our United States, continued to spin past my eyes, I noticed something happening to the giiilding light of God that had been leading her. The capital G in God dwindled slowly and then fas­ ter and faster. Our God became god to America. From the triune God, — Creator, Redeemer, Preserver —，America was turning to a 8；od. This gods main quality was money with the deceiving and hellish front of civic righteousness. In this so-called godhead there was no Saviour. The people no loneer thought thev needed a Saviour. Many that professed to confess God joined with those 98

that had only god. They couldn’t see the difference between God and god. They chose not to. The dirty edges seemed to be creep­ ing over all of America. Her course was no longer smooth. In seek­ ing strength of man she was losing strength. I thought of Israel’s fluctuating fortunes in the past. I thought of Germany’s downfall afer her rejection of the Word. I saw America again. Money was in the wheelhouse. Graft was in the engine room .Corruption was in the boilers. And god was the rudder, I saw another country rise. The true God was not to be mocked. Was it Canada? This country received God's*Word. It grew large and magnificent. Our United States was overshadowed as an ant hill by the Empire State building. Would this country, too, when it reached a huge stature, shift from God to god? I looked closer at the United States. The churches were all becoming social clubs. This was their new-found duty. I no longer felt so far in the future. The churches became nothing more than competition in a friendly way to purely pagan societies and their gods for size and greatness of number. But the newspapers said America was a God-worshipping country. Didn’t church attendance increase again? But the newspapers, like the rest of America, thought that spelling god with a capital G made it our true God. Yes, America was a god-worshipping country, America was an idol-worshipping country. But God had set the fall of this hull filled with false gods. America moved faster and faster toward a great chasm. Then there was a crash. I woke from my daydreaming to pick in) the lunch bucket that had just fallen so loudly from my lap. I looked around and saw our America in the present, which wasn’t so different from my imagined future.

With manv thoughts and wonderings I went back to work.

EDUCATION Some must display all they have learned; Education is a wondrous thing； Can change a beggar to a king.

It aids man in a blessing great, The power to think, to concentrate.

It gives some prudence, makes some wise, Even gives some fame in public’s eyes.

But some get haughty, some get proud, Some start to babble much too loud.

99

RED Some must display all they have learned； Show all the As and Bs they’ve earned； Impress their friends, dumfound the fool, And show them just who went to school.

But humbleness with wisdom fused Is something worthily pursued.

The man who this in life observes At least a couple of friends deserves.

Education is a dangerous tool； Can change a wise man to a fool； Can make him prudent, thoughtful, wise, Or else rejected, spurned, despised.

Reading and thinking are two most amusing pastimes, and like wieners and buns, better in a pair. Every once in awhile I run across soinctliing that's just too well done or too clever to enjoy alone. Francis Bacon says, . .this communicating of a mans self to his f ri(Mid works two contrary effects, for it redoubleth joys and cuttetli griefs in halves.” Ar.stotle agrees, “Whosoever is de­ lighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.” After we have been separati'd from most of our friends for three months of summer vacation, we really do look forward with anticipation to shoot­ ing the bull with them again. Were you able to keep a broad welcoming grin from your face on that, first day of school? Shar­ ing your good times with friends makes them twice as pleasant and brooding over troubles is seldom done in a group.

School is also studying and here that means languages and translations. Jaures offers a rather witty directive for such work: “We wish to preserve the fire of the past, not the ashes.” For the many who have laboriously and painfully transferred Caesar from Latin into Latin-with-an-English-vocabulary and then wondered why Caesar lived long enough to pester us, Thomas Wolfe cap­ tures their despair (at the expense of the teacher, of course) in Look Homeward, An^el： <4Then a years study of the lean, clear precision of Caesar, the magnificent structure of the style — the concision, the skeleton certainty, deadened by the disjointed daily parition, the dull parsing, the lumbering cliche of pedantic translation： ‘Having done all things that were necessary, and the sea­ son now being propitious for carrying on war, Caesar began to arrange his legions in battle array/ 100

RED All the dark pageantry of war in Gaul, the thrust of the Roman spear through the shield of hide, the barbaric parleys in the forests, and the proud clangor of triumph — all that might have been supplied in the story of the great realist, but one touch of the transforming passion with which a great teacher projects his work, was lacking/* But to close with a slice of Montaigne, “For these are my own particular opinions and fancies, and I deliver them as only what I myself believe, and not for what is to be believed bv others.'

7心笔 Since the library has acquired many new books during the summer, a new shelf has been set aside to make the books more accessible to the students. This shelf is located to the south of the present reading list shelf. The stack rules apply to any of these accessions. All the following books will be found on that shelf: GODS, GRAVES AND SCHOLARS ^ C. W. Ceram This brilliant account of the adventures and explorations of great archaeologists brings to life the mysterious past of mankind.

Ceram spreads it before tiie layman in all its excitement and color; in addition, he pictures the scientific achievements fully and re­ liably. He shows how they uncovered the fabled civilizations of the ancient world, and how, step by step, they pushed back the horizons of mankind by five thousand years.

CRIME IN AMERICA - Estes Kefauver The inside story of the greatest organized crime hunt in history, together with Senator Kefauvers own analysis of what has been done, what still must be done, and how we best can do it 一 An up-to-date book by one of America’s foremost political figures.

THE BOOK OF MODERN COMPOSERS - David Ewen Of the thirty-one composers listed in this book, twenty were living in 1949 and eleven were dead. They include composers ranging from Gershwin, whose music is familiar to several hun­ dred million people, to Schoenberg, whose music has thus far been more important in theory than in performance; from Latin American stylists .to composers whose music brings melodies from the plains of Hungary. It has been said that music is the language of one world； this book tends to prove that it is in fact the many lan­ guages of that world.

RED LINCOLN AND HIS GENERALS - T. Harry Williaim This is the human, dramatic, and quite overpowering story of Lincoln as commander-in-chief. It is the fascinating story, here told completely for the first time, of Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search for a winning general ,and of his own necessary emergency as a master strategist.

This is not a military history of the Civil War, but the story of the direction of the war by the President.

A TREASURY OF WESTERN FOLKLORE-J3. A. Botkin Here are 500 stories, anecdotes and legends from our national heritage. From the Pony Express to the Super Chief, nothing essential in the Western Scene is omitted. Mr. Botkin selected the rich material of this book from all the accounts of people who were there when history was made. Botkin is considered one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most eminent folklorists.

CTTY OF THE BEES- Frank S. Stuart The marvels of a society older than man, and almost unknown to him, are revealed in Frank Stuarts City of The Bees. This is the story of a colony of wild bees and one year in its life. It is the story of birth and death, tragedy and joy, victory and defeat, prodigious labor, and pure enjoyment of life wl)ich transcends human experience. Mr. Stuart combines almost unbelievable facts with poetic imagination to make a beautiful and exciting reading experience.

SJitoiial ^J^i，EPTEMBER and the first day of school seem to come as unfailingly as big assignments every Monday thereafter. By this time, those of us who are coming back have pretty well finished greeting our old friends. And those of you who are new to Northwestern the Black and Red wants to welcome. Will Rogers used to say, “I’ve never met a man I didn’t’ like,” ami that's the way we’re greeting you. Remember too that as unofficial members of the Black and Red staff, we’cl. be glad to have you help write ycur school magazine and offer helpful suggestions for it.

It’s quite a shock to get back in classes again and have only a faint recollection of having seen some similar subject once in the dim past. But as the landscape begins to settle, we start to re­ member that summer was just a 丨)ieasant interlude in our real work of gaining an education and preparing for our future professfon — and that’s serious business, for we’re serving not purely our own interests, but more especially we are readying our minds ancl characters so that our Lorcf and Master may use them in His work.

Perhaps we alone might be cynical enough not to care much about what we do or don't do, but when we recall to what status He .y 103

RED raised us by His death and resurrection, we just can’t help be hap­ hazard about our lives and the calling that is to be ours.

Going to school is certainly a full-time job, requiring our keen­ est mind and complete attention. You probably find it very easy to criticize your professors, perhaps with some justification at times, and yet do you always remember that you are correcting the pro­ duct of a lifetime. If you were suddenly placed in a professors position, would your suggestions for improvements suffice to teach the class? Remember what you're taking for granted!

Someday you are going to be the replacement forces for our schools and congregations. As you observe your pastors and teachers, do you feel that the foundation that is being laid now is strong enough for such responsibility. Today you’re being guided; tomorrow you lead. Now your ideas can be merely pious repetitions of the thouglits of some person you respect, but someday you’ll have to stand or fall with those or other ideas, and one only fights for personal com ictions.

Education is more than a totaling of facts; it’s your introduc­ tion —at Northwestern a Christian one — to the world and its people and their civilizations and ideas. As a man you must know men； as a leader you must guide them. To be sure, we find our strength in Christ the Savior, but no more than we would offer an honored guest a shabbily cooked meal, should we, unprepared and ill-fit, think of saying to our Lord, “Here am I，send me, send J AH me.

E WON'T be here today! — this is one of the most commonly 11哪P heard remarks at all of the rehearsals, marching practices, and engagements of the Band. Why aren’t the members there?

Where are they? Are they too accomplished to practice and to be there for all engagements? Maybe you can answer these questions.

As Coach Umnus tells the football squad: “The Seniors make the team. If they show spirit and fight, the team will show spirit and fight； if they don't, the opposite is true!” This statement applies to the Band. If the Seniors and upperclassmen don’t show much interest, what can you expect from the underclassmen? Last year the Band attendance was poor, to say the least, This year we have an interested President and, I hope, faithful Seniors. Lets all get together and give the school and the director the Band they de­ serve ! ! !

.{^^AST year after the tour, the attendance at the Choms re鳴該1 hearsals decreased noticeably. This year there will，most likely, be no tour, but we hope that the attendance won’t show the same decline. There will be various concerts — the Christmas, Easter, S pring, and Commencement concerts, but because there is no tour, tthere should not be a corresponding lack of interest.

Here at Northwestern we are offered a wonderful opportunity to make use of our God-given voices in both the Male and Mixed Choruses. At the same time we can learn the art of chorus con­ ducting and the value of teamwork in a chorus, which will aid lis greatly if we shall be required to conduct a choir when 'v(，are out in the ministry.

There is one tliing that should be improved over tlie past year — that is the attendance at rehearsals and interest in the Con­ certs, especially the Commencement Concert. Once you gi\ e your word that you will be present at as many rehearsals as possil>lc and all concerts when you sign up for the organization, you should stick it out to the end, even if you disagree with the director or en­ counter difficulties in attending.

UNIORS.，Sophomores, and Freshmen, Arise! Throw ofl’ your indifference and join the one student-centered attem pt to gain public-speaking experience! The present Seniors showed their interest last year so this is for my classmates and those in the next two classes.

Don’t be afraid that you will become too cultured. The vari­ ety of themes and ideas in The Forum leaves:room for lots of fun while giving the public-speaking experience we so badlv need.

It takes nerve to stand before an audience and talk. It takes preparation to be able to give a speech, and preparation means work, extra work. You may be too busy, you may not be good enough, you may not want to make a fool of yourself, but you won’t learn by not joining in. None of the members has the idea that he is a polished speaker — the aim is to improve not to ridicule.

Maybe Dr. Kiessling will find it possible to give us an extra speech course under the auspices of The Forum. At any rate, lets help ourselves by backing The Forinti.

RED One Change in the ^Fo^ium of this

• • •

^fij^AST year’s Forum presented six programs which proved entertaining to the audiences and beneficial to the members of the society. Last year the approximately thirty members lost much of that self-consciousness which bothers almost all inexperienced public speakers by taking advantage of the speech opportunities which the Forum provided. Nor did last year’s members learn with a sacrifice of enjoyment. Variety in the Forum’s yearly sched­ ule provides unlimited enjoyable speech opportunities.

We, the members of the year 试one by, would like to see a change in the society this year — not in the aims, but in its roll of membership. Only von can bring about that change — the change from being a member of the audience to being a member of the Forum.

Why don’t you join the ranks of this group at the kick-off meeting on October 2 at 8:00 p. m.? You owe it to yourself to make that change in the Forum of this year.

“Ji Speech C<ourse at 3^lot，thweste}，n” • • • *OR manv years the merits of a speech course at NWC have ^ k ben rgued. This school year has seen such a course start­ ed in the Junior and Senior classes in connection with their Eng­ lish courses. Both classes, individually, are devoting one period each week to the study of the mechanics of speaking under their able English instructor, Prof. E. Kiessling.

This course was started to fill a need felt by many for acquaint­ ing themselves with the necessary rudiments of speaking — an occupation which will play an important role in their future lives.

It is a course that does not intend to make use of its forthcoming experience in enhancing the subject which we vvill handle in the coming years. This, we all realize, can not be done. The Word is sufficient unto itself. But there are many irritating and chafing faults which might be obviated by just such a course as this.

^Blatoff S)on Cossack Ch O^IUS

..

HE PLATOFF Don Cossack chorus and dancers will give a performance in our ^ym on Wednesday, October 15. at 8:15.

This famous group of Russian singers, all of whom are now American citizens, is this year conducting its fourteenth tour of the United State. On this tour they will appear in Milwaukee and Chicago as well as in other cities in different iparts of the country. ,\s exiles from the Don River country, this group sang its first concert twenty-two years ago under it’s present conductor Nicholas Kosiruko珏 in the cathedral in Prague Czechoslovakia. Ever since it sang at the San Francisco Expo­ sition in 1939, this chorus has been in the United States, except for two tours during the war to entertain American troops. The Platoff Don Cossack chorus has a varied repertoire gauged to entertain people of different musical tastes. It is very possi­ ble that a small admission will be charged students also, but whatever the admission is, I am sure this concert will be worthwliile attending. The Don Cossack choruses are world famous, and October 15, will be our chance here at Northwestern to hear one of them.

ATTENTION ALUMNI AND FRIENDS The Northwestern College Varsity football team will play its first game of the 1952 season on the college field at 2:00 p. m., October 4th, against Concordia River Forest.

If you can’t make that one, let’s see you at Watertown, October 11th, when the Goslings meet St. Procopius. These games promise to provide the real tests for the Goslings in their defense of the Badger-Illini Conference title. Lets give them the support they need and deserve!

To all the old fellows the C&C extends a hearty “Good to see you back" and to the new students a sincere “Welcome to N. W. C：\ Tliat may be the last sincere statement in this column for the next seven issues, so make the most of it. In case your name happens to be mentioned in favorable or, more likely unfavorable connections, remember, its all in fun. We’re laughing with you, not at you. And so in medias res.

Most of last years rules and reminders are still in force, inclu­ ding the no-cars rule. Perhaps it’s just as good. If Seeger had his, he'd certainly be broke. It seems that one day as Dick “Whirlwind” Seeger was cruising along, he was stopped by one of the oldfashioned school of officers who believe that the speed laws should be enforced. After paying a fine of undisclosed amount Dick’s only comment was, “And to think that I worked all day for 20c.”

Another fellow who will vouch for the fact that cars aren't entirely a blessing is Gary Haag. His gray 1948 Pontiac turned out to be an object of suspicion to police officers. After all, how was Gary to know that burglars of a woman’s apparel shop had used exactly that same model as their get-away car?

JOE： You idiot! Did the nurse drop you when you were a baby?

MOE： We were too poor to have a nurse. My mother had to do it.

In case you have nothing else to do, drop in sometime and have Teske tell you his latest dreams. If he isn’t climbing the walls like a fly, hes sailing through the air like “Superman”. By the time this reaches print he ought to have dreamed up lots of new ones.

Smeared from an old Frosh math test Page 2, problem 14： .“If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long will it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill-pickle?”

P.S. Your guess is as good as : mine as to which section of Frosh math had this question.

i.

Can you imagine: Anyone having earned enough money during the summer?

Going through a whole school year without having a Sextaner looking for the “Siebenbucher”？.

“Dago” Schneider turning down a plate of spaghetti?

Gerald Bergemann ever finding a “legible” football player?

George Tiefel claims that during the summer he was a very successful defroster salesman. He says, however, and with some regret, “When you’re a salesman, the dim line between truth and fiction becomes even dimmer.”

Query of the month: How can Sextaners smile, when they know they still have eight years to go?

ERLKOENING by Haum I. Doing The following poem was written by a truly great poet, who for some reason or other has never received the acclaim which is his rightful due. Our object in presenting this master work here is to get it before the greatest poetry lovers of the decade, the students of classical German poetry here at N. W, C. As you read this lyric of incomparable depth and feeling, try to catch the sonorous roll of the rs, the onomatopoetic beauty of such gems as ‘“krachen” and rattel’n”，and the aire of grandeur aiid .stateli­ ness so well portrayed by the German language.

Wer drived denn so spaet durch die Nacht, 'vie der Blitz, Das ist der Pa, und sein kleiner Fritz.

Die Road ist bumpy, voll Mud und Sand, Die Car ist alt, und second-hand.

“Mein Sohn, was heidst du so bang dein Gesiglit?”

“Sielist Vater du die Train-tracks dort nicht?

Und um die Curve da raced a Train!” .

Der Engine choked und die Car bleibt steh’n.

111

(LED “Ach lieber Fritz, das isc ail right...

Wir pushen die Car nach die andere Seit.”

Der Papa schiebt und der Fntzi steered.

Da ist denn auch vveiter nix passiert.

“Ach Daddy, mein Daddy, und hoerst du nicht Der Cylinder rattled und die Axel bricht.”

“Sei mhig, bleib ruhig, mein Kind, Das Wind-shield ist busted, da blaest rein der Wind.

Don’t worry now, gleich sind wir z'haas, Und stretchen uns auf dem Sofa aus.

Nu’ Fritz, sei a Sport； ich bet dich a Dime In twenty-five Minutes sind wir daheim.” “‘Ach Papa, ach Papa, acli guck mal den Steam!

Und unten laeuft raus das Gasoline.

Was knocked denn da? Ich glaub am End Die Bearings sind ausgebrennt.”

“Acli Fritz, du machst mich schrecklich nervoes, Und bist du nicht still, so werd’ ich nocli boes."

“Mein Vater, mein Vater, ach stop die Machin’ ’’ Ein Puncture. . . . ein Krach. . . . und das Rad ist hin.

Dem Vater grausets； er faehrt was er kann, Und Inch bein Inch sie rattlen on.

Erreiclicn den Hof mit Mueh und Not; Da pufft das Flivver. . . . der Engine war tot.

Quick, Prep, run and get my coat! I may have to take o任 for the hills when people start reading this column.

Anfwiedersehen (?)

ATHLETICS A group of approximately thirty football aspirants, headed by twelve lettermen, repo rtecl to Coach Umnus on opening day to initiate the Goslings’ defense of the Badger-Illini Conference title.

Untried as yet, the Lenmen look good on paper； and in two weeks of practice have exhibited a fair share of the fighting spirit that has been characteristic of Northwestern teams in the past. Paced bv veterans John Chworowsky and Bob Mueller, the twelve re­ turning monogram winners comprise a promising unit that will be augmented by others of less experience but equal determination. position by position, here is the probable Black and Red line­ up for ’52: On the flanks, Dobberstein and Habeck are expected to continue where they left off last fall. Available for reserve duty are Westendorf, a reserve tackle last year, and Senior Bob Schlicht.

“Fuss” Fuhlbrigge will return to his left tackle slot, and “Stretch” Beckmann, untried giant, is tabbed to fill the gap left by Buss’s graduation. Senior letterman Panning, small but game, and Senior reserve Seeger round out the tackle roster.

The veteran Chworowsky will pair up with hard-charging Dennis Wetter at guard, with Strack on hand for in the relief role. Ed Stelter will man the center post in his third season and will back up the line on defense. Ready to spell him will be Junior reserve Berger.

At present, Glenn Braunschweig, Watertown High alumnus, is the choice to fill Butch Bitters shoes as field general. Heuel Schulz, defensive half-back and quarterback, will be his under­ study in masterminding the split-T that the Goslings employ.

Rich Pankow and Rich Winter, both fast steppers, will be ready to carry the mail from the half-back positions, and Schultz, Rothe, and Kuske will run when called upon. The fullback chores will be handled by Phil Kuckhahn, who proved himself a hard runner and efficient punter during the *51 season. Mueller, defensive line-backer, and Schneider, a freshman prospect from last years Preps, will support him.

The line is tough, the backs are fast, and the outlook is opti­ mistic —if — the fighting spirit on the team and among the stu­ dents can meet the standard established in the past. Let everybody support this team all the way, not just for Homecoming, not just 113

RED for one game, but before, during, and after every game on tlie tough conference schedule.

HOMECOMING The “N” Club has begun preparations for the 1952 Homecoining Celebration. Letters have been mailed to Alumni, speakers have been contacted, and Mission House has been scheduled for the Nov. 7 contest. Let’s all do our part to make this another succesful Homecoming.

Watertown, Wis., October 1952.

Number 5

Entered at the Pi»sl Office at Watertown, Wis., as second class matter under Act of March 3, 187f*. I'uMishcd monthly. Subscription, $1.50.

Late at even things about me Settle do'vi》in soft repose.

Then it is that mem’ries taunt me More than usual. Like a goad, Dull, yet piercing, hours of darkness Send my thoughts to reminisce My impetuous youth.

Oil the many countless blessings I should have to call my own, Had I not been oh so hasty In the days gone by so soon.

Hasty to accept what offered Quickest pleasures — always heeding My impetuous youth.

Now, today, when I am tempted To pursue what pleases me, May the Lord who reigns above me Send His angels to remind, “ Tis the long hard hour of labor Bri ngs more lasting pleasure — not An impetuous youth.”

V. M. Thierfehler 115

RED 1871, YEAR OF THE ''GREAT FIRES" (Taken in part from: Holbrook's Burning an Empire Pence’s Fiery Hell ai Peshtigo, (Latter from R. D., Sept., *46)) Many books have been written about the dangers pioneers faced at the hands of marauding savages, yet during the past century and a half, at least, forest fires have probably killed more pioneers than all the savages put together.

It would be useless to try to enumerate all the forest fires in the United States, so I shall attempt to write about one of the more disastrous ones, and to me, being a native of northern Wisconsin, the most well-known. This is the famous Peshtigo fire.

In 1871 Peshtigo, a good-sized settlement along the coast of Green Bay and several miles south of the Wisconsin-Michigan border-line cities, Marinette and Menominee, was a booming lum­ ber town. It was still remote, although at the time the Chicago & Northwestern railway was building a road northward from Port Howard to Menominee, Michigan. Large gangs of woodsmen were busily slashing through the pine, cedar, and tamarack, mak­ ing long piles of the debris and setting it afire.

It is said that these fires were the cause of the disaster which struck the town on October 8th, 1871. However, they were not the only contributing factor. The true cause lay in a combination of drought and the carelessness exhibited in watching these small fires. For more than three months there had been no measurable rainfall in Wisconsin.

On the morning of that fateful day, October 8th, a day of reckoning for many of Peshtigos citizens, the scene was one of quiet, but it was not a peaceful quiet. The air was deathly still.

Even the birds made no sound as they darted restlessly about. A strange yellow glow hovered in the sky above the town, shedding a ghastly light on the sawdust streets and board sidewalks, Some sensed tiiat something ominous was near；; others paid no attention but went right on with whatever they were doing just as though nothing were amiss.

Then the glow in the sky changed to a reddish hue, and sud­ denly the air was filled with flying sparks and burning embers which fell upon the house-tops.

Before anyone knew what was happening, several houses on one side of town were blazing brightly. The fire department came immediately, but equipment in those days was no match for one big fire, to say nothing of an ever-increasing number of them.

RED The streets were filled with cries of bewilderment. People ran wildly about, while the flames, which had now formed a blanket over one entire side of the town, licked at them, touching many with their searing tongues. A human body burned as does a mosquito to which a lighted match is held.

John Cameron and many others were fleeing clown the east bank of the river below the clam, and here many drowned, while others lived it out. On the way they saw things they never forgot.

Never. They saw horses and cattle, yes, iand men and women too, sfagger a brief moment over the saw/dust streets, then go clown to bum brightly like so many flares of pitch-pine.

The river bridge scene was one of bedlam. People were trying to get across from both sides, and while they，were struggling in the middle of the structure, it started to bumn and collapsed. All, including horses, cows, and people, were plunged into the river to sink or swim, and most of them did drown.

There was hope that the river, which divided the town in half, would surely stop the spread of the fire, but this hope was quickly shattered. Sparks and even whole burning boards were carried across the river by the wind which the fire created for it­ self, and the whole town was now doomed. The fire department had ceased efforts long ago, and, abandoning the pump and the horses pulling it, each sought to save his own life.

The onlv hope of safety lay in the river. Men buried their wives and children in the sand and sought safety themselves in the water, first covering themselves with soaked blankets or articles of clothing. Even then many heads caught fire and had to be ex^neuished repeatedly. Nor was it a pleasure to remain immersed in the water wh’.le sparks showered down upon the heads of all.

Some never got back out of the river, and those who did finally rise after the fire had subdued walked only a few feet, where upon they flopped down on the bank. worn out from exhaustion.

Yes, the fire did finally burn itself out but, how many lives it burned out with itself!

As the rescue parties began their search, as soon as possible after the fire, they came upon some who, instead of perishing in the flames, had preferred other more “pleasant means of death.

One family of seven was found, all, with the exception of the wife, with their throats cut. Another man who was unwilling to be burned alive was found hanging in his own well, the well-chain wrapped tightly about his neck.

In every large fire the heat also plavs strange pranks. Peshtigo’s was no exception. S;xty dozen bright new axes in the Pesh117

RED tigo Company’s store had melted into an incongruous mass. Heavy iron melted at the point of the tongue of the MBlack Ilawk”，Peshtigo’s hand-pump fire engine, while two feet away the hickory wood of the tongue was not even charred.

One report on the darkness following the fire ran as follows: So dismal and deep was the darkness caused by the smoke that the sun was totally obscured for a distance of two hundred miles. This gloom continued for a week over Green Bay. It was so deep on the ninth that two men were stationed on the clock at Menominee, lifting and dropping heavy planks to serve as a signal of port to smoke-bound steamers bringing relief supplies from Escanaba and oilier nearby points.

On Monday, October 9th, 1871, John Mulligan, foreman of a lumber gang at Peshtigo, Wisconsin, arrived in Marinette, eyes hollow and staring.

“Peshtigo is destroyed,H he announced, “Not a stick remains, and its people are lying dead in the streets.”

And on Monday evening — one day too late — rain fell in Peshtigo.

Peshtigo was Wisconsin’s first great forest fire disaster. It was the greatest in regard to loss of life but was surpassed in area covered by fires of twenty-three years later.

The heaviest toll was in Peshtigo itself, where six hundred lost the:r lives. In all, the total taksn by the fire was 1,152, in mini­ mum figures.

It will bs noted that there is no mention of heroism in the Peshtigo fire such as took place in some other great fires； for ex­ ample, the on3 in Hinckley, Minnesota, where Jim Root, an eneineer, w:th the assistance of his fireman, Jack McGowan, backed his train, loaded with refugees, out of the fire area while “the solder on the cab lamp trickled down, and (he wooden handles of the steam connections were afire and turned coal-black when McGowan threw water on them.”

The explanation is simple. Whereas the psople of Il'iicklev had ample warning in advance of the fire, the Peshtigo disaster struck so quickly that people scarcely had time to save their own lives, to say nothing of psrfonning any heroic deeds.

RED .LETS MAKE A TRIP A most wonderful institution within our church is located in Watertown. The unique institution to which I am referring is Bethesda Lutheran Home. Probably you have taken Bethesda pretty much for granted, not even thinking of the tremendous re­ sponsibilities undertaken there by the Home and the exceptional work it has been doing so quietly and so long. Maybe you have heard of its magnificent work of shaping lives, guarding souls, nursing handicapped children, providing for mentally retarded men and women, caring for the crippled and helpless. But have you ever been there P To our great amazement, the answer is generally no among us students. vVliy have you not ____made a visit to this institution so close, so in need of our support, so helped and supported by our parents? Is it because you have no room or warmth in your heart for these less fortunate church members? Are you afraid of these “children” that do so appreciate whatever you do for them, great or small ? IIow much joy and happiness you would give them by showing a little in Iciest, by being kind and friendly with them.

For the 400 patients representing 31 states, Bethesda is home.

If it is their home, that means that here is where they are fed, clothed, trained, and loved. The realization of this blessed work, that is, giving these feeble minded human beings chance to live by furnishing them the necessities of life, might be hard to grasp.

Practical Christianity is in action at Bethesda Lutlieran Home where the Lutheran Church has carried on a work of love among the mentally retarded, epileptic and otherwise handicapped.

The physical plant might be of interest to many too. Bethesdas kitchen must prepare a meal for its 400 patients 3 times a day. Imagine the storerooms, lockers, and equipment thus in• volved. Bethesda has a bakery, barber shop, an office for a dentist, laundry and ironing room. The Bethesda Messenger room has mainy points to attract one’s attention, as do the office quarters of the superintendent and his staff.

For some of the “children”，Bethesda is their school too. Be­ tween 60 and 70 pupils regularly attend the Christian day school, where four teachers instruct them in the three R’s and religion.

The chaplain prepares those able to learn and understand for church membership by confirmation. It is a hard and tedious task but the results are justifying.

Every day through tour after tour, people are beginning to realize just what we have here and are proucl to claim it as such.

Such an educating tour is awaiting you at Bethesda. Why not give it a try ?

RED ON EVOLUTION From out the jungle deep there came a sound, A crashing through the trees and bushy growth； The air with fleeing cries all did abound, They fled, the lion and the zebra both.

One stopped the surge, a mighty mite, the mouse, Who squeaked in creaking, breezing, valiant pitch, ' This jungle I’ll protect or l'm a louse, Be it against a man, a bird, or witch.”

But when he came in valiant trappings gray The growth around gave forth no sound ot joy.

The lion spoke in cattish glee, *1 pray, What could you do, you pipsqueak ot a toy ?”

Sneered then the sneaking snake, “You’ve got your brass!

What can you do when you can’t crawl or squeeze.

Can’t ever match a snake that’s in the grass, Can scarcely stand in wafting, gentle Breeze?”

Up slid the snake, up came the tusky boar, Around him came the jugley, motley crew； The lion then gave forth a mighty roar As if to have the mouse for a jungle stew.

But from the jungle came again the crash From which they all before had run with fear.

They all stood stiff, as with an icy rash, All save mouse, who calmly this did hear.

There came an elephant in mousey gray With landing flaps stretched out in angry line, And with his trunk he then began to spray All those who on the mouse were set to dine.

How could this be — the elephant a friend — Who, in all tales, of mice is dead afraid?

Could tli is now be a modern, normal trend For creatures all their well-known whims to trade ?

“Not so at all,” spoke up the mighty mite； “I have this straight from human thought, you see； It’s plain as I am standing in the light That I some day an elephant will be.

120

RED “You see my color! Is it not the same As that which elephant wears on his skin ?

My ears right now aren’t worthy of their name, But they’ll be large when we are one of kin.

“My legs no doubt with jumps will have to grow, Although I have as many now as he； For tusks two teeth out far I now must throw, And stretch my nose ’til it a trunk will be.

“And now, you creatures, now you see it plain, Why elephant and I have friends become.

Since it is human thus to use our brain, About my knowledge then I can’t be mum.

But now \'OU ask me how tlvs all can be, How I, so small, so big in time will grow ?

Mans wisdom great is the entire key； Hell back mi： up, that I most sure?ly ki low.

“For if no.\v man from lowly monkey came — And this ho does with all his mind decree — Then I hv riglit can claim the very same, That I some day an elephant will be.”

THE BIG CITY, NEW YORK New York is just another big city with heavy traffic and big buildings. That is what most miclwesterners mistakenly think of the largest American metropolis and Atlantic seaport. After two visits over a period of four years, New York has impressed me as a very fascinating city. The whole city and its surroundings seem to be lifted out of the pages of a book. It seems to be in a world by itself. of tall buildMost people think of New York City as a place 一 ings and tenement houses. This idea is correct, but the buildings are more than merely tall buildings. They are the tallest buildings in the world. Large companies have their offices in them and foreign consulates occupy others. Most of these large buildings have baseements and subbasements to which trucks deliver the things needed in the operation of the buildings, by means of ramps lead­ ing to these underground levels. The tenement houses are passing into history as new fifteen-story apartment buildings take their places. Away from the fast moving life of Manhattan and its tall buildings, but still in New York City, are the residential sections 121

RED of boroughs of Queens, Bronx, and Brooklyn, In these residential districts the imposing grandeur of Manhattan is missing, but the feeling of being in the big city where everything is big and clone in a big way is not lacking.

Coupled with the gigantic buildings and the masses of people is the essential transportation system. Public transportation witnm the city is accomplished in four different manners. On the surface are gasoline buses and limousine cabs. There is no type of trolley veh icle to be b' seen here. To supplement this surface transportation, subways have been blasted from the solid rock of Manhattan and elevated railways have been built. These subways connect with concourses to tlie two main railroad depots and to many hotels.

One can travel for twelve miles or more on one of the subways without coming out of the ground. When the subway ends it us­ ually comes out of the ground into the elevated railway above the street. Private automobiles and trucks add to the surlace traffic which is controlled by traffic lights which have only two colors: red and green.

In addition to the transportation within the city, New York is a terminal for rail, bus, air, and sea travel from all ovor the world.

On Manhattan Island are two large rail depots, Pennsylvannia and Grand Central Stations, which are served by the leading railroads of the country through tunnels under the buildings and under the Hudson and East Rivers. Another type of surface transportation servicing New York City is the bus line. The buses enter Man­ hattan through the tunnels and over the bridges from New Jersey or the Mainland of New York State. Most bus lines utilize the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal, which is close to the center of Manhattan and in which the buses load and unload on three different levels, all connected to the street by ramps. In Queens is La Cuardia Field and a little farther on Long Island is Idlewild Air Field, two of the largest and busiest commercial airports in the world. Along the east and west waterfronts of Manhattan and along the East River in Brooklyn are the many wharves where freight and passenger ships from all over the world dock. This large scale transportation. both within the city and into the city add to its grandeur and fascination.

Without the people New York would not be New York.

Twelve million people are living within a diameter of 75 miles around the city. There are wealthy people and there are bums who sleep on doorsteps. There are famous people, and there are unimportant ones. The streets are full of people of all types at all hours of the day in midtown Manhattan. Each one has his own purpose and errand and bothers little about his neighbor.

122

RED All these tilings, the buildings, the transportation, ancl the people, make New York interesting, but there is one thing which makes New York really great ancl that is its culture. In Manhattan are art museums with famous sculpturing ancl paintings. There are beautiful churches, cathedrals, ancl monuments. Beautiful Cen­ tral Park in the midst of busy Manhattan creates a quaint and his­ toric appearance. Times Square and Broadway with their theaters and nearby Carnegie Hall and Metropolitan Opera House al】pro­ duce some of the world’s best acting ancl music. Famous sporting events take place in and near Manhattan. Here are Madison Square Gardens and the Polo Grounds, ancl nearby are Yankee Stadium and Forest Hills Stadium, scene of the world's best amateur tennis.

We have lakcn a look at many aspects of New York City. New York does evon lliinq in a gigantic manner. Nothing is small or inferior. This grandeur ancl the idea of being in a place which one reads about in th(，papers, sees in the movies and on television, and hears over the radio continuously，make New York City more than just another big city.

ON THE BRIDGE AT THE DELLS If you have ever had the opportunity to travel through the Wisconsin Dells on United States hi ehwav 16, one traffic bottle­ neck has certainly impressed you. Often the impressions made by this traffic hazard are of a more enduring nature taking on the form of dents in one’s automobile. The bridge on highway 16, its right-angle approaches, and the accidents caused by its unfor­ tunate design have been obiects of much sound criticism. The bridge as it now stands testifies to the fact that there was a great lack , of foresight in its planning and design. One wonders as he encouners this obstruction to traffic whether or not the entire pro­ ject wasn’t plainly an expensive mistake.

Many suggestions have been made for the solution of the traffic problem. Of these, one, although now discarded, merits at­ tention. This solution has as its author the architect of world fame， Frank Lloyd Wright. Mr. Wright maintained, and rightly so, as almost anyone who considers the problem in an unbiased light will agree, that immediately in the vicinity of the dells no fitting pi acc is afforded for the building of a bridge. His contention is bome out as fact when one considers the present span and its detri­ mental effect on the scenery above the clam. He therefore sug­ gested that at Echo Point, a location only a short distance from that of the present bridge, a new bridge be built to accomodate both 123

RED automobile and railroad traffic. He offered to submit free of charge plans for a bridge at the suggested location, His idea was to put an arch across the river in a place where it would adcl to the charm of the surroundings and be impressive in itself. The suggested width was to be over sixty feet. Mr. Wright’s plan seemed to be a perfect solution to the problem. But a small group of people, predominantly merchants, disagreed.

According to the latest reports there will be no Wright-de­ signed bridge at Echo Point. Instead a bridge designed entirely by engineers of the state will be constructed in the very near vicinity of the present structure. This will be done at a cost of ap­ proximately fifty-thousand dollars more than the project would have cost had the Wright plan been adopted. Instead of a span of over sixty feet in width, the new plan calls for a bridge slightly over thirty feet wide. Other examples of what certainly appears to be foolishness in the rejection of Mr. Wright’s suggestion may bo had in abundance, but the main ones have been mentioned.

Why do we as voters of the state and of the country as a whole, s.nce Highway 16 is a national highway, allow a small group of merchants to influence our highway commission to the great ex tent that they have? Why do we, because a few merchants fear a slight decrease in the volume of their trade allow ourselves to be deprived of a beautiful structure designed by a known master for a strictly practical and more expensive substitution? Why do these merchants insist on channeling through their small city all the heavy commercial traffic which is no boon to their business but, instead, a source of constant danger to the city’s children ? Wliv do we allow these few to slow up all traffic by forcing it to go through the business district when the tendency now is for main highways to by-pass all the busy sections of cities in order that reasonable rate of speed may be maintained ? Certainly some move should still be made to try to reinstate what surely appears to be the better plan and bring it to completion. If the present plan is adopted I have no doubt that future generations will identi fy our judgment with that of the small, but loud-voiced, pressure group now, and justly term it intense parochialism.

RED MUSES AND MUSINGS In the September issue of the Atlantic Monthly Claude M. Fuess recounted some of his experiences as headmaster of Andover, an Eastern prep school. Would your experiences corroborate these excerpts ?

“Some boys are blessed by their ancestors or by the fickle gods with every attribute making for social success. With sound bodies, they are capable if not outstanding sportsmen； they have the mesmeric quality of making friends easily； they do their class assignments without strain and possess the precious knack of pass­ ing examinations； they are emotionally well-balanced, responding normally to the violent stimuli of adolescence； and they have an instinct for avoiding serious blunders, These are the ‘naturals,’ the delight of parents’ hearts, who advance uninhibited and undis­ mayed through tlie ordeals of school and college, captaining the teams, evading disaster and claiming leadership as their privilege.

“But side b\ side with these Olympians are the less conspicu­ ous who are glad for modest honors and occasionally slip sadly into fa;lure, who hear uncomplainingly the inevitable disappointments of group living, whose progress is often slow and painful, and who are content to serve in the ranks while others win letters and other decorations. One never knows, however, what the end will be.

Often the campus favorites weaken early, perhaps because they are not toughened bv adversity; while some lad relatively obscure on commencement moniing turns up forty years later as an emi­ nent surgeon or judge.” 0 0 0 e “A few responsible school leaders with good instincts and a feeling for law and order can do more than any number of irate faculty members. If the students, guided by their elected officers, reach the conclusion that certain things just ‘aren’t done，’ the headmaster can cease to worry. Here again boys are extraordinar Jly like sheep in their proneness to ape the Big Men on campus and to co-operate when cooperation becomes fashionable. Ian Hay was right when he wrote, ‘The god that schoolboys dread most is Public Opinion.’”

0 。 0 o “The schoolboy code of honor, no matter how absurd it may seem to an adult, can never be ignored in dealing with under­ graduates. Only when one of their mates has become positively tcious will they testify against him. He may copy his neighbors answers, he' may have liquor in hfs room, he may filch magazines from the newsstand, he may sneak out of his dormitory on nefaricus missions — but nobody will ‘squeal’ on him. This is the chief reason why honor systems, however successful they may be in some colleges, seldom work in secondary schools.” J. A. H. 125 •:

Sditoiial N OCTOBER 31, 1517, 435 years ago, Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg. Within Uvo weeks these challenges were being discussed throughout Germany. Today, four centuries later, we still celebrate this day as Reformation Day, the 4th of July of the Lutheran church. No doubt, if Luther were posting those 95 Theses today he would be rebuked for his separatism and lack of brotherly love, but we, his heirs, can never be too thankful for his restoration of the old and true Gospel so that we can also say, “If you have a true faith, that Christ is your Savior, than you see at once that you have a gracious God. For faith guides you to and opens up for you Gods heart and will, so that you see nothing; but grace and overwhelming love. He beholds God correctly in his faith who sees his fatherly, friendly heart, in which there is no anger or dis­ pleasure. For he who regards him as angry does not see him correctlv but only a curtain and a cover, a dark cloud drawn before his face.”

Northwestern College was founded so that we not only can say this but so that we may also help others to know it. Today 126

RED we are still comparatively far away from being formally recognized as pasistors and teachers, but even as students we should be led in re gard to our personal faith as well as our ultimate calling by Martin Luther, who recognized so clearly the only true purpose of the church and its ministers: “A pious God-fearing preacher must be so minded that nothing is dearer to him than Christ, his Lord and Savior, and the future eternal life, so that Christ may say to him, 'Come here to me! You have been my beloved, faithful ser­ vant/ J. A. H.

^Buttoning ...

B

UTTONiNG is an old tradition at Northwestern. Year after year the 1 reshmen are lorced to wear little green caps while the sophomores make them go through the motions of buttoning.

This can be very much fun both for the freshman and the sopho­ more, but it isn t.

Every yeai\ it seems, there is a considerable amount of strife, not only between the sophomore and freshmen classes, but also within the classes. Every year this “buttoning” creates hard feel­ ing. There is a good reason for this, and it lies within the sopho­ more class.

There are always certain number of fanatics in a class who button frosh solclv for the sheer animal delight in seeing another person suffer. These fanatics are easily picked out. They are the ones who yell the loudest. They deliberately attempt to bewilder the freshmen so that they can bring them before the sophomo court, where they can make them squirm some more. They take great joy in another's humiliation. These fanatics argue that but­ toning will humble the cocky freshmen, but at the same time they are glorying in their own great might. Who are the sophomores 一 to humble the freshmen ? Who will take the cockiness out of the sophs ?

In my sight a fellow who almost splits with zeal, who screams at the top of his lungs to show off his great power in forcing his fellowman to go through asinine motions, is not only immature, he is also somewhat ridiculous himself. In his own pinion he is very smart because he is really making it tough for another fellow. But in the judgment of a sensible, level-headed, grown-up young gentle­ man, of which we have a few, he is proclaiming to the world by his actions that he is a little child. Perhaps these are hard words, but when a few people go too far in one direction, there must be some going the opposite direction to keep the balance.

This year buttoning has been rather mild and so have the 127

RED punishments. This is, as I understand it, because several members of the sophomore class feel as I do and their influence has kept most of the others from going too far.

Freshmen, take notice! Remember next year how you felt when you were a frosh . Keep buttoning if you wish, but keep it fun. Dont let it get out of hand； don’t let it cause hard feelin We can have our fun, but we should always remember we are a Christian institution. We should never let our old Adam get the best of us in the traditions of the school. Buttoning can be fun, and let’s do all we can to keep it fun.

Sios/z initiation • • • IMULTANEOUSLY with football, another tradition of our school passes from our campus for another year. A description of this tradition, which we refer to as buttoning, is not nec­ essary, because the procedure is quite well known, since initiation really is a part of our course at Northwestern. However, the queston has arisen as to the desirability of retaining this tradition. It is for the discussion of that question that this article is attempted.

Outwardly our school has changed since the days in which it was founded. We call ours a new age of science and atoms.

Certainly Northwestern could not help changing in favor of the new ideas in all fields of learning. For example, the German lan­ guage has lost its influence on our curriculum. Whether it is good or bad is beside the point, but as a result, many of its ideas, cus­ toms, and expressions have been forgotten. The word gymnasium， for instance, has lost its content, at least as far as the student body goes. Ask any Sextaner or Quintaner what a gymnasium is, and he will tell you that that is where we get our physical exercise.

Therefore it is not surprising that an old tradition like buttoning remained on the campus in 1952 only after a long argument. Our college is becoming modem； it has no time for something foolish or seemingly unscientific. But is there no sense in buttoning at all?

The opponents have good arguments. Amoijg other things they say that the duration of initiation is too long, that the preparatory students poke fun at the Freshmen, that there is too much poor sportsmanship shown, and that people “just aren’t like they used to be.”

Although Northwestern College has changed outwardly, its general purposes have changed but little. The main objective is still the same as it was in 1865, nor has the character of its material changed. Our school still lays the foundation for what we may 128

RED call the Weltanschauung of the leaders of the Church. Maybe people aren’t like they used to be, perhaps they will not make good leaders, such as our church has had, and where can one look to find the fault but in their education?

No~ one can deny that poor sportsmanship has been shown dur­ ing buttoning season. The Sophs have stolen or purposely knocked off beanies at one time or other. Sometimes the Sophs “lay” for certain fellows for whom they have an unwarranted dislike. And on the other hand, the Frosh became angry when the punishments became too severe. Are these valid arguments for disposing of buttoning ? Do you ever hear anyone say that football or basketball should be discontinued because some of the fellows are poor sports ? Absolutely not. Sports were invented to make sportsmen.

Why not apply that to initation ? It really would be an accomplishment if the Sophomores would show no prejudice or the Freshmen anger or rebellion. If our students can go out into the field without prejudice and obey when commanded and command when it is for them to do so, then they should make good leaders. If flic initiation here at Northwestern College doesn’t teach a student a bit of discipline, then he ought to enter West Point. If the character of a one is so feeble that he cannot see him, then he the humor when practical joke is played u his wrong attiought to consider buttoning just the right cure tude. But they say that the preps look down on the Freshmen during buttoning season, The only answer is this, that the eighty per cent of the preps who never reach the Sophomore class better take the opportunity to look down on the Frosh as they shag the Frosh books from class to class.

Certainly there is room for improvement in the way in which initiation is carried out. The courts could be more orderly and profitable. Officers could be chosen from the Sophomore Class with the entire collegiate department admitted as spectators. This proposal is of a defensive nature, however, since it would make buttoning an issue of the whole collegiate department and consequently more pemianent.

In my opinion, it seems more practical to retain buttoning, because it is a good giiage telling us whether we can act without prejudice or ill-humor. After all, we will some day have to deal with a di public which will not give us a second chance to dispose of our pride and scruples. If anyone says that buttoning ought to be abolished because it is ridiculous, that person should, according to the law of consistency, dispose of the levity in his other actions for good. Or if he in unwilling to comply, let him consider button­ ing more philosophically.

RED ^Komecoming • • • \ >».

MOST of our readers know by now, our annual Iiomecoming celebration will be held on Friday, November 7th.

The festivities will begin with the usual parade of floats and the homecoming bonfire, with its customary ceremony, on the night previous to the big game, Game time is at 2:00 P. M. and this year the Varsity will be out to battle the ‘Muskies’ from Mission House College. im beThe game will be followed by a luncheon and a prograi ginning at 5:30 P. M. in the gymnasium. Arrangements fo r the luncheon, which includes hot-beef sandwiches, coffee, cake and ice cream, have been completed with Mr. Bilse, who is prepared to serve a large number of alumni and students. A price ot 75c for alumni and 5uc for students has been set. The program which fol­ lows the luncheon will be in the capable hands of the l\(、v. G. Redlin of Watertown, Wisconsin. The Rev. M. Schwartz of Fremont, Wisconsin, has accepted the invitation to be the main speaker for the evening. The College Glee Club will also be on hand to ren­ der a few selections.

Of the approximately 400 invitations sent out by the *N' club, half of them were returned by the middle of October. Of those who replied, a pretty fair percentage intend to be present on tho campus on the 7tli, but there is still room for more. Even if you have not received an invitation by mail to attend Homecoming, you are most assuredly welcome. If it is at all possible, we would like to see all of you return to the Northwestern campus on No­ vember 7th to watch another fine varsity team in action and to meet your old friends and classmates, thus helping to make another Homecoming celebration a success.

Sligible ^Vote^s ... ^.EFORE a presidential election the questtion arises as to what or, are the qualifications for a voter, The mere fact of being twenty-one years old does not alone qualify a person. A voter must be registered in the precinct in which he intends to vote.

In order to register, the person must be a resident at the place where he wishes to vote. To us college students this establishment of residence is a problem. Under the Wisconsin law governing the qualifications of voters, and accord ing to the precedent set by the Wisconsin Sup reme Court in severail cases, we, as college students, are not consia<ered residents of Watertown if we are at all dependent on our parents for support. Since we are not considered resi-

^Russian c^Husic .. ?HE PLATOFF Don Cossack Chorus and Dancers were sponsored bv Northwestern College on October 15. All those who missed tliis concert missed a very enjoyable and enlightening evening. 丁lie concert was well performed, and the chorus offered a varied repertoire to an audience of about 800 people.

The concH'rl was sung almost entirely in Russian with the ex­ ception of two English songs — A. Ii. Malotte’s “The Lord’s Prayer” and the U. S. Army marching song, “Sound OfF’. Although these songs were sung in English, they were still sung in the unique Don Cossack manner. The harmonies were quaint sounding to our western ears, and the dynamics also were different from those one is accustomed to hear. Among the many Russian numbers, two of the most familiar songs were, “Meado'vland Marching Song”，and “Hospode poniilui”. The “Hospodi pomilui” is tlie song in which the two words of the title, which mean: Lord have mercy, are re­ peated seventy-five times. Besides the songs there were three dance numbers, two Cossack folk dances and a dagger dance. This group of twenty-two singers, their director, and dancers brought the Rus­ sian music and dance to Northwestern in rare form.

HE FORUM, Northwestern College’s young but growing litorary society, met on October 2 to elect o扭cers and plan for its second season. Because of an encouraging increase in mterested students, it was decided to boost the number of programs from six to eight this year. The assembly recalled the success of last year’s comic production, “The Physician in Spite of Himself”, and will consider climaxing the coming season with another largescale production. But, in spite of the increase in membership, a majority of our students have not availed themselves of this oppor­ tunity to acquire practise in public-speaking — and we all need it.

Why not give it a try? FORUM activities won’t over-tax your time or talents, and you’re bound to benefit.

OF PARADISE portrayed，with a sentimental beauty, the life on a South Sea island. In. true Hollywood style it painted the romantic setting of such an island as everyone would want to imagine it to be. It was interesting and instructive in bringing out some native superstitions. Deborah Page acted well the part of a native maiden who married a Frenchman, only to be lost to him when she selflessly sacrificed herself to a teeming vol­ cano to save her people.

Guadacanal Diary brought back the early days of the bat­ tles against the Japanese in the Second World War. It showed the grim work of the Marines in rooting out the enemy, but it was relievingly punctuated by the humor coming especially from William Bendix.

Well, another month has passed, which means tliat another C and C deadline has come, so here we are again — cheer up, worse things could happen, If nothing else, at least it’s one month closer to Thanksgiving vacation.

The well-known lingo of “Up，down, right, left, double on th^ button, double on the right ear, double on the left ear, cross ’em， etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.” announced to all, including residents within a vicinity of ten blocks, that the Sophs were again practisJng the time-honored custom of “buttoning”. By this time things have again quieted down, for which the Frosh are truly grateful, no doubt. This year there were no insurrections and no fatalities, but there were the usual punishments, such as Zimmv wheeling the baby buggy，Fleming wearing the swaddling clothes, and Pieper, the Incorrigible, alternately playing the role of Captain Mar­ vel and Orpheus. The Frosh finally put an end to the hectic days by winning the annual tug-o’-war.

It seems the health authorities figured some of the students at N. W. C. were working too hard. After meeting in solemn conclave, hey decided to give Bob Schlicht and Roy Hoenecke, together with their preps, Gaugert and Hollman, a compulsory vacation in the form of a quarantine. Confined to the “pest house” thev found plenty of ways to amuse themselves. To break down the barriers of their isolation (ahem) they set up their own radio station. Un­ fortunately； only those with 15 tube radio sets living not farther than 300 feet away could hear it.

Overheard in the clubroom： Mr. Y.: How come you got a “butch” hair cut this time?

Mr. Z.: When you’re getting a haircut from Max, don't tell him a joke. If you do, you’ll end up with a “butch” every time.

RED NOTE In case the electric hand-dryers on your floor aren’t work­ ing, why don't you contact Mark Nitz. He may have an ex­ tra roller towel or two he’d be glad to lend you. it your name has never appeared in this column, my advice to you is, “Get on tlie ball and do something noteworthy!” It makes tlie riting of a column such as this much easier too. That isn’t the only way to get recognition, though. If you do anything often enough, you'll soon be noticed. Maybe after you’ve pulled as many puns as Eckert has you'll have a poem dedicated to you too.

THE PUN “A pun is the lowest form of wit.”

It does not tax the brain a bit; One merely takes a word that’s plain And picks one out that sounds the same.

Pcvliaj )s some letter may be changed Or others slightly disarranged, This to the meaning gives a twist, Which much delights the humorist; pie now may help to show The way a good pun ought to go: “It fsn’t’ ’the cough that carries you off, It’s the coffin they carry you off in.”

Hear ye, Hear ye! Norb Merer would have all you amateur golfers know that after lv's “46” he’s turning pro. He may soon be joined by Tutor Nitz, who just recently found out that he’s a natural golfer. In the first practice session of his life Tutor teed o任 from the tennis courts and drove the ball all the way across the athletic field and smack through the windshield of a car parked at the hospital. He’s now turning pro to earn enough mon­ ey to pay for the window.

YOU'VE BEEN THERE Amherst Lord Jeff.

The melancholy days have come, The saddest in our annals, Its far too cold for B. V. D.s And far too hot for flannels.

Even though the weather may not be much good for anythin else, it is, nevertheless, good football weather. But the team owes its good record (till now, at least) to more things than just the weather. Where would the team ever be without the pep-fest 135

Johnny Chworowsky，hospitalized with a back injury for three days after the St. Procopius game, is up and around again.

We all join in wishing him a speedy and complete recovery.— Rumors were flying thick and fast for awhile, much to Johnny's amusement. Some person even inquired when the funeral would be held for “that boy who passed away.”， Veteran lineman Kenny Strack is making a strong bid for the fullback position. While minding his own business in the line, he happened to notice one of Braunschweigs passes floating over his position and decided the ball should be moved up-ficld, so he promptly caught it and ground out about 30 yards. Cheer up, Kenny even tliough the play was called back for clipping and a few other technicalities, you looked like a real plunger.

Should you ever run out of typing paper, just go to the third desk of the middle row in the typing room and help yourself.

That’s all there’s to it. A little thank-you note would be appreci­ ated, though.

According to all reports the Soph class must be the sleepiest class up here. Gerry Hinz and Erhardt Schultz vie for the distinc­ tion of being the soundest sleepers in Latin class. Westendorf complains that lately his classroom visits with Morpheus have ben disturbed by nightmares. The other day he practically fell out of his seat trying to push his opponent over a ledge. »

The strains of a strenous presidential campaign are beginning to tell on the Juniors. In the interest of peace and unity, tlie Re­ publicans decided to eliminate Democrat Tom Kraus from their class. Now all’s quiet on the western front — except for the occasional meowing of a cat in room 2.

Query of the Month This month’’s query takes the form of a litle poem by Thomas Moore entitled: On Taking A Wife “Come, come,” said Tom’s father, “at your time of life There’s no longer excuse for thus playing the rake.

It is time you should think, boy of taking a wife.”

“Why, so it is, father — whose wife shall I take?”

NORTHWESTERN - 27 CONCORDIA - 7 Northwestern's fighting Goslings inaugurated their title defence with convincing 27-7 victory over the Concordia Cougars.

The Lenmen scored in the early minutes of the contest and held the upper hand throughout. A Gosling drive in the first minute of play was halted on the enemy 30-yard stripe. Concordia failed to move and was forced to punt. Once more the Goslings marched, sparked by Phil Kuckhahn, who climaxed a 45-yard drive with a 23-yard trip to pay-dirt. Fuhlbrigge converted. Kuckhahn scored again on the second play of the second period, this time from the seven. Fuhlbrigge’s conversion attempt was blocked, and the Gos­ lings held a 13-0 advantage. Again the Cougars failed to move, and a Concordia fumble on the Black and Red 45 gave Northwestern possession once more. Rich Pankow uncorked the nin of the afternoon, scampering 55 yards to the Cougar five, where he stumb­ led and fell. Kuckhahn skirted right end untouched for his third tally, and Fuhlbrigge s kick for the point was successful. Reserves played out the half, and managed to block a Concordia punt before time ran out. The third period was relatively calm, and action was confined to the area betwen the 30-yard stripes. Gosling fumbles prevented any sustained drives, and Concordia suffered from a first-down famfne. Early in the fourth quarter, a Winter to Habeck pass covered 25 yards to the Cougar 19, and on the next play, an aerial from Winter to Pankow soared the remaining yardage to the diagonal lines. Fuhlbrigge converted, and reserves took over for the Goslings. With four minutes to play, Concordias heretofore unsuccessful passing attack began to click. Art Bathje fired to 137

RED Schaeffer for 34 yards to set the stage for Sickmanns three-yard plunge. The Cougars initiated another scoring drive in the dying minutes, but time ran out.

Score by quarters: 7—27 Northwestern 7 13 0 0 0 0 7— 7 Concordia .

ST. PROCOPIUS - 6 NORTHWESTERN - 40 The Goslings avenged last years 6-6 tie with St. Procopius in grand fashion, whipping the Cardinals in a bruising battle that cost Northwestern the services of Johnny Chworowsky for two weeks. The Cardinals fumbled Brandts opening kickoff, and Wet­ ter recovered on the enemy sixteen. The Goslings pushed to the one-foot marker, but failed to score. Smith’s first-down punt was short, and Schulz returned it to the 23. Two plays later. Rich Win­ ter tossed to Habeck for 26 yards and six points. Fulilbrigge's kick was wide. The remainder of the first period was a push and pull affair. Early in the second quarter, the Goslings marched 70 yards, ca PPin,g the effort with Kuckhahns seven-yard jaunt and Iruhlbrigges conversion. Shortly before the intermission, Braunschweig passed to Winter for a touchdown, after Habeck had snaii^fd enemy aerial on the latter’s 26 yard line. Fuhlbrigge com erted and the halftime score read: Northwestern 20, St. Procopius 0.

Braunschweig intercepted a short pitch by Budz to thwart a Cardinal drive in an uneventful third quarter. In the final period, re­ serve backs chewed off 41 yards to the 1 yard line and Schneider collected the six. Fleming’s kick was low. The Cardinals scored their lone touchdown on a pass play from Budz to Ondrak that covered 81 yards. The Gosling line swarmed in to block the try for conversion. Late in the contest, Braunschweig fired to Rothe in the end zone and Fuhlbrigge converted. St. Procopiius fumbled the kickoff and two plays later, Schulz hit Kuske with an 18-yarder for the final Gosling marker. Fuhlbrigge booted his fourth point of the day, and the timekeeper called it game.

Score by quarters： Northwestern .6 14 0 20—40 St. Procopius........... 0 0 0 6—6 NORTHWESTERN - 41 AURORA - 0 The Lenmen continued in their early-scoring ways and went on to rout Aurora on a windy day in Illinois. Pankow romped 21 yards through the Spartan secondary for the first counter. Later in the same period, big Ed Stelter blocked Downing’s punt inside »•，

138

RED the Aurora ten, and Kuckhahn scored from six yards out. Early in the second period, Braunschweig pitched 11 yards to Winter for the third tally. In the second half, the Goslings journeyed from their own 17, and cashed in when Pankow fought his way over from the nine. Schneider, running well all afternoon, drove into the end-zone from 11 yards out to contribute to the Gosling total.

Midway in the fourth quarter, the Spartans threatened, but were stopped on the Gosling fifteen by Berger’s interception. Follow­ ing a Gosling punt, Reuel Schulz snared a Spartan aerial in his own eight-yard line and danced 92 yards for a touchdown. The reserves knocked at Aurora’s door on two more occasions but fumbled to spoil both opportunities. Fuhlbrigge connected on five of his six conversion attempts.

Score by quarters： Northwestern 6—41 Aurora 0—0

THE AUTUMN WIND TTvvas tonight as I walked neatli the light of the moon, That I heard the loud wind hum a petulant tune Through the branches of trees, and the vines, and the wires.

And the song that it seemed to be singing distressed Me anew； for the songs mournful tones were hard pressed Upon telling a story that kindled old fires Of the memories Summer had sown in my soul. occasional knoll There were green wooded paths, Over which we went gaily — the spirit of summer and I. Then incensed by my thinking, the wind seemed to wield All its power, to which I then knew I must yield. <0They are gone! Oh forget them!”，the sound seemed to cry.

RED THE SADDEST TRAIL IN AMERICAN HISTORY The Cherokee nation was the largest tribe of the Iroquoian family. They did not, however, get along very well with their couThe lands sins nor did they join the Confederation of Iroquois. T— claimed by them extended from the Mississipp i River to the eastthe Ohio River em reaches of the Appalachian Mountains and from f to the central parts of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. The land which they actually held and inhabited was, however, much less.

What we now call the Smoky Mountain Country was the actual homeland of the Cherokee. The chief enemies of the Cherokee were the Shawnees and Tuscaroras. The battles between these tribes did much to gain the name of the “dark and bloody land for Kentucky.

De Soto was the first white man to see the Cherokee. He found them living in permanent villages of well-built log houses, Even at that time, 1540, the Cherokee were more domestic than llieir con- • sins. They were good farmers, growing many bumper crops of benas, com, and pumpkins in the fertile valleys of their land.

When the colonists began their westward push to the Appalachians and beyond, the Cherokee were very friendly. Iliey even sold plots of land to the “borderers” and made peace tr< -o lies with them. The British tried in vain to stop the encroaching of the col­ onists on the Indians’ territory. In 1730 the British sent ( nvoys to the Cherokee to sign a peace treaty and to guarantee that the col­ onists would no longer encroach on their territory. Incidentally the British thus gained a powerful ally against the French. The col­ onists however, repeatedly broke the British treaty as well as their own. Such men as Boone and Herrod, who are considered heroes in American tradition, in reality broke solemn agreements when they pushed into Kentucky.

During the French and Indian War the Cherokee sided with the British. They were of great help, especially in the capture of Fort Duquesne in 1758. On the return from Fort Duquesne a small party of Cherokee stole some horses. They were caught and arbi­ trarily killed. When the rest of the tribe heard of this, they immediately took up arms. They had had enough of broken promises and unjust deeds. The frontier became a very unhealthy place in which to live. In retaliation Governor Littleton of South Carolina with about 1500 men marched into Cherokee country. The Indians;were ready. After taking a few hostages, Governor Littleton was forced to retire. The hostages were kept under guard in a small fort. A short time later the Cherokee tried to rescue these prisoners. In the fray that followed a soldier was slightly wounded. Immediately the 141

RED other soldiers shot all the hostages in cold blood. At this outrage, the fury of the Cherokee knew no bounds. The frontier became one continuous scene of pillaging and murder.

The colonists again sent out a force to subdue the Cherokee.

The legislatures of North and South Carolina also voted a reward of 25 pounds for every Cherokee scalp taken. Finally in 1761 they were subdued. The treaty that followed was a farce. Neither side kept it. During the Revolutionary War the Cherokee fought with the British. They were so incensed with the Americans that they did not stop fighting until 1794. The peace treaty that was then signed by both the Cherokee and the United States was held as a sacred thing by the Cherokee, but not so by the federal government.

Put under pressure by the United States, the Cherokee ceded parts of their land held according to the treaty. Five different times be­ tween 1794 and 1819 they ceded land to the Government. In spite of the treachery the part of the United States, the Cherokee aided us in subduing the Creeks and later were also of valuable assistance in th(' War of 1812.

In 18IS split developed within the tribe. A minority group of conservatives wished to have nothing to do with the white man’s civilization. Ti;t: majority, however, were eager to accept the new way of life. 1'1 -c c onservatives finally migrated west of the Missisippi. The renia.iuir.g part soon became the most civilized Indian tribe in United States history.

In 1820 Sequoyah, an illiterate half-breed Cherokee submitted to the chiefs of the tiibe an alphabet. He had worked ten years on it. The alphabet consisted of 86 characters. This alphabet was ac­ cepted, and in a few months time, nearly every Cherokee was able to read and write in his own language. Sequoyah’s alphabet is considered second only to our European system in reproducing syllabic sounds in symbols. Sequoyah traveled through all the Cherokee country with his alphabet even to the tribes across the Mississippi.

When he died he was looking for a “lost” tribe of Cherokee on th^ West Coast. His name is perpetuated today by the giant redwo'od trees growing on the West Coast.

By 1830 the Cherokee were completely civilized. They had set up a government based on our own. A written constitution was drawn up with provisions for a legislature, a judiciary and an executive branch. A free press and public schools were also set up.

Early in the nineteenth century, gold was discovered in the Cherokee lands in Georgia. The state immediately passed an act annexing all Cherokee lands and distributing it to whites by lot­ tery. The state of Georgia asked the federal government to remove all the Indians to the Indian Territory. The government agreed to

RED do this, ,but nothing was done until Jackson became President. One of the first tilings he did was to put tlie Indian Removal Act through Congress.

The Cherokee, through John Ross, a famous chief for forty years, appealed to Jackson but in vain. They then appealed to the Supreme Court. The Court refused to take jurisdiction, saying, “If it be true that the Cherokee Nation has rights, this is not the tri­ bunal in which these rights are to be asserted.” Two years later the Court in effect reversed itself.

Three white missionaries living in Cherokee country refused to swear allegiance to Georgia. The case came up before the Supreme Court. The following ruling was made： Indian tribes *liad always:been considered as distinct, independent, political communi­ ties, retaining their original rights___The Cherokee Nation, then, is a distinct community, occupying its own teiritoiy, bound­ aries accurately described, in which the laws of Georgia can have no force, and which the citizens of Georgia have no to enter,” except by consent of the Cherokee. Jackson retorted. John Mar­ shall (the Chief Justice) has rendered his decision； v.ow let him enforce it.” The Court could do nothing more, so iiie State of Georgia and the federal government continued their unjust poli­ cies toward the Cherokee.

Three years later, General Scott, under orders from Jackson, rounded up 15,000 Cherokee and m the middle of winter forced them to start on their long “trail of tears.” Nearly half died from exhaustion and exposure. About 1500 Indians escaped the round-up by hiding in the mountains. After much controversy they were per­ mitted to remain on a small reservation in western North Carolina.

The Cherokee Historical association put on a play portraying these events.. It was entitled, “Unto these Hills,” and was given in Chero­ kee, North Carolina, in the summers of 1950 and 1951.

How did the Cherokee taks to all these unjust deeds by the United States? Did they ask for pity or condemn the United States?

Did they quote the decision of the Supreme Court or the treaties that were repeatedly broken? No. On the last day before being herded to the Indian Territory，the chiefs gathered for the last council in their beloved homeland. They drew up the following resolution： **The title of the Cherokee people to their lands is the most ancient, pure and absolute known to man； its date is beyond the reach of human record； its validity confirmed by possession and enjoyment antecedent to all pretense of claim by any portion of the human race. **The free consent of the Cherokee people is indispensable to a valid transfer of the Cherokee title. The Cherokee people have 143

RED neither by themselves nor their representatives given such consent.

It follows that original title ancl ownership of lands still rests in the Cherokee Nation, unimpaired ancl absolute. The Cherokee people have existed as a distinct national community for a period extend­ ing into antiquity beyond the dates and records and memory of man. These attributes have never been relinquished by the Chero­ kee people, and cannot be disolved by the expulsion of the Nation from its territory by the power of the United States government.”

With this simple declaration the Cherokee set out for a place where more troubles and injustices awaited them.

In the Indian Territory, which included most of Arkansas and Oklahoma, the Cherokee were beset with more difficulties. The neighboring tribes were hostile. The United States government would not leave them alone but continually tried to dispose of them. The arm\ • •. as in charge of Indian affairs at the time and did their level best co do away with all the Indians tribal society and government. Tlio method used by the anny was the divide-andrule method. rriu、idea was to split the tribe into hostile factions and then do aw a-, with the government of one part at a time. This strategy failed, (miy because the inherent patriotism of the Chero­ kee was too strong and overcame any differences within the tribe..

In 1849 the Department of the Interior was given charge of the Indians. A new system was adopted. In order to reduce the tribe to separate citizens of the United States, with no tribal so­ ciety or government, each Indian was given his own private piece of land. Heretofore all the land granted to the Indians was held in common by all the Indians of a tribe. Under the new system the tribe .as a whole had nothing to say about the laws or government of the individuals land. The Cherokee appealed to the Supreme Court but the Court rejected their plea. The new system worked to perfection. By 1906 the entire society and government of the Cherokee was demolished.

During the Civil War the Cherokee had a bad time. Half the tribe fought with the North and half with the South. Both parts received heavy casualties. Their reservation too was the scene of much foraging and marauding by both the North and the South.

After the Civil War, schools were gradually set up and the tribe slowly began to regain its former glory. In colonial times there were about 22,000 people in the tribe but that number went down to 10,000 at the end of the Civil War. Today there are about 30,000 Cherokee in Oklahoma and 4,000 in North Carolina.

In spite of the shabby treatment received by the Cherokee from the United States, they fought with great distinction in both World Wars. In both wars more than half of the total in the <u*med 144

RED forces enlisted. In World War II seventeen per cent of the total population was in the armed forces. The death rate among them was very high, attesting to their valor and courage.

One must admire and laud the spirit of this “heathen” nation.

Deceived by false treaties, robbed and driven from their native land and divorced from their tribal customs and society, they still honor and respect our government and are willing, without hesita­ A. II. z. tion, to help us in time of need.

REMARKS ABOUT AMERICA, PERTINENT AND IMPERTINENT America was. accidentally bumped into in 1492 by a sailor in search of commerce, and by and large has borne the badge of ^commercialism ever since. Upon its discovery every major Euro­ pean power jumped in to see what was in it for them. The Spanish took gold, the French took furs, and the English took ll'cir time. .

We are interested primarily in the English. Being the first great empire builders since the Romans, they naturally colonized.

They blessed the new land with their scum and malcontents, send­ ing over paupers and criminals. Religious groups, dissatisfied with England’s religious tyranny, also came over to establish their own petty tyrannies. There were also a few idealists.

The country grew and prospered, and soon began lo get new ideas about government. The people felt, as they became more .and more independent, that England was oppressive. Eventually a •few thinkers, grafters, and law-breakers got a revolution underway.

Inasmuch as England was occupied by a few other wars at the ■time, the colonies won out. A note of thanks is also clue France.

Casting aside several preliminary governing bodies, a commit­ tee wrote a constitution guaranteeing equal rights to everybody.

It might have been. This document also established a federal gov­ ernment over and above the individual governments of the states, to the eternal dismay of Dixie.

The United States of America soon became very powerful. The whole area from coast to coast was conquered and populated. Pop­ ulation increased tremendously, by act of God and by immigration.

Mass production became the most important economic element of the U. S., and has determined the course of her development. There was a bit of a delay while the North took from the South its right to keep slaves. It is alleged that these negroes now have all the Tights and priviliges of the whites.. 广 In the northeastern part of the states, at the juncture of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers, some wealthy men built a 145

RED group of office buildings. There is a street in New York reserved for the same purpose. From these few blocks emanate the orders • which control a great share of America. This is called capitalism.

Capitalism starts out as private enterprise, but if a private person has enough enterprise he soon becomes rich in America. Then he and others like him band together to squelch all the other people with enterprise. This is a monopoly. Monopolies are said to be illegal.

Since the U. S. became a very powerful country, it became in­ volved in unfriencllv relations with other countries. In 1918 America got into the First World War. After we had won, we tried to es­ tablish a League of Nations to prevent war, but everybody wanted h-s own way and >1 collapsed. This is called nationalism.

We talked about capital;sm before. When capitalism got too powerful, the workingmen banded together in unions, in order to make the privileged classes treat them more fairly. In general, they have achieved l heir ends. Capital for the most part has had to put upi witli labor organizations, but when they became a little too► clema: andin^ in the 1920s, the capitalists called out the cops to put them in their place. Similarly, we have freedom of speech and of the press in America, until it gets too free. I don’t think anyone knows just what “too free” is. , In 1941 we cot into another war. After we had won, we helped set up a United Nations organization. Despite the frustrating machinations of Soviet Russia and her sattelites, the U. N. has been more effective than Wilson’s League of Nations, and has managed to keep working together. This is internationalism.

Right now, most Americans are afraid. In fact, we’re so afraid of anything that smacks of Communism that men like Senator Joe can become public heroes. (He accuses people of being Com­ mies because they're considerate of other people’s ideas.) We call anybody who leans a bit to the left a “Harvard liberal”, h is obvious that the people of the midwest shout the loudest against Harvard. Harvard men talk with an English accent.

We and the U. N. are now in a fight against Red Communism.

We were thrust into this war by the people whom Senators Joe and Bob call commie-lovers. The reactionaries grumbled a bit when we went into Korea. Thev became vociferous when we didn’t start an all-out war aeainst China. Tlvs makes the reactionaries sure that the liberals are all fools or traitors.

It was mentioned before that America is commercial. We have more “things” than anv other country. The prime purpose in life of most Americans is to make a lot of money and buy a lot of “things”. We used to try to buy cultuah too, but that didn’t work, 146

RED so now we aire trying to find some ourselves. We have several choices: the cowboy, negro, and New Orleans bordello cultures, to name a few. The point is that we are now in the process of.creating a culture. Our grand-children will have it to enjoy, We ought to enjoy making it.

THE CHICAGO FIRE From: Chicago; The History of its Reputation Lewis, Lloyd and Smith, Henry Justin It is indeed a peculiar coincidence that on the night of October 8th, at approximately the same time the fire storm struck Peshtigo, the city of Chicago was almost totally destroyed by fire. But whether it was a trick of fate or not, the fact is that it happened.

Countless stories have been spread of “Mrs. O’Leaiy’s cow,” until the animal has become almost legendary. Surprisingly enough the fire really did have its origin in Mrs, O’Leary’s barn, l.-ut whether or not the cow was actually at fault has never bv en deter­ mined. There have also been attempts to connect the fires of Peshtigo and Chicago, but these too have been disproved.

As was stated, the fire began in Mrs. O’Leary’s bam. It was late at night, and, therefore, before anyone noticed the (ire it was already well on its way.

Chicago was at that time made up of cracker-bo;： buildings by the thousands, and the flames ran like an ever-broadening stream striking like lightning into the hovels where vagrants and nightbirds hid.

The big city’s fire department had been extraordinarily busy during the last days of September and the first clays of October.

They had been called to extinguish no fewer than thiirty blazes m that time. In fact, the firemen, exhausted by a fire on the West Side the day before, were out getting drunk to celebrate the conquest of that conflagration at the time when the “Great Fire” started.

When they finally did arrive on the scene, there was little they ccould do. The shanties disappeared almost while one lookecl at the m, they were so dry and so flimsily built. The suburban forces were called to aid, but even the entire force could not stop the spread of destruction.

The fire jumped an area four blocks wide that had been burned out the night before. It was carried by the wind across the river and wrought havoc with the business section. instead The surprising thing is that many of the poor people, p' of trying to save their lives, fell upon the shows and looted th^m. always keeping one jump ahead of the fire. The result was that many were trampled under the feet of those hurrying to ?et their share of the booty. They declared that the fire was a friend of the poor man. .147

RED Others tried to drink their troubles away. Saloons stayed open ahead of the fire, taking in money until the very roofs over their heads started to burn. Then the saloon-keepers emptied their tills and ran.

When, at one o’clock in the afternoon, the court house caught fire and three-hundred and fifty prisoners were loosed from jail, they immediately fell with elation upon a jewelry store and looted it.

An eye-witness reported the following incident: “In this chaos were hundreds of children, wailing and crying for their parents.

One little girl in particular I saw, whose golden hair was loose down her back and cauglit fire. She ran screaming past me and somebody threw a glass of liVjuor upon her, which flared up and covered her with a blue flame.”

Men nisiicd <ibout screaming, "Where is General Sheridan?

Why doesn't he do something?”

The general had at this time been stationed in Chicago with a detachment imps. The psople thought if he had been such a hero during the war, he should be able to help at this time too.

Later the general did make use of the only means he knew, gunpowder. He attempted to blow up buildings in the path of the fire, in the hope lhat thus it might be stopped, but to no avail.

When the Chicago fire had finally burned itself out and a survey of damages was made, the following astounding figures were arrived at： Three and one-half square miles of the city’s area had been blackened； 98,500 people had been burned out of their homes； 17,450 buildings had been destroyed； $200,000,000 worth of property had been turned into vapor. Of the dead, 25Q were count­ ed, but authorities agreed that the total number must be far higher.

Valuable historical records were lost, such as the original draft of the Emancipation Proclamation, given by Lincoln to the Sanitary Fair in Civil War days. Of the three hundred and forty-one fireinsurance companies h:t by ths catastrophe, fifty-seven suspended business, wiped out by losses.

Still, when compared with the loss of life at Peshtigo, the losses of the Chicago disaster seem trivial. Peshtigo’s fire caused near­ ly three times as much human misery. Nevertheless, when asked about the other “‘Great Fire” of 1871，many still reply, “Why, what happened at Peshtigo?”

The reason is this： Though newspapers devoted considerable space to Chicago’s spectacular misfortune, it was weeks before they got around to recognizing the nature of the Peshtigo blaze. The governor of Wisconsin was forced to issue a special proclamation pleading with the people to divert their gifts from Chicago, which 148

RED was being cared for by the whole country, to Peshligo, where the toll of human life was far greater.

7心 ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE BIBLE - George Barton Archaeology and discoveries in ancient Bible lands have been front-page news in our daily papers. Barton, avoiding the techni­ cal terms of his subject, planned to write for Sunday-school teach­ ers, students, and for the ordinary Christian who would be interested in noting how the discoveries of archaeologists supported statements made in God’s Holy Word. Because of its frequent revisions, ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE BIBLE has continued to be a leading authority in its field. The authors comprehensive research of the entire field of archaeology for facts bearing on the Bible makes his book truly a library in one volume.

THE REAL PERSONAGES OF MOTHER GOOSE Katherine Thomas Mother Goose rhymes are not merely charming nonsense for children but keen satires on the ambitions, lives, and plots of many great state personages. A quarter of a century of romantic re­ search went into this study of the Mother Goose folklore. The author contends that there actually was a King Cole who ruled Britain in the third century and that Humpty Dumpt)> was a name for Richard III, and contemporary feeling about that monarch was colorfully expressed in a few subtle verses. All the human in­ terest of English History with its beloved figures and sinister vil­ lains is distilled in the cliarmin g world of Mother Goose.

TWO CAPTAINS WEST — Albert and Jane Salisbury In the spring of 1804 President Jefferson appointed his secretary Mariwether Lewis to explore the unknown lands west of the Mississippi in order to give the.United States a stronger claim on th_e country between that river and the Pacific. Lewis and his friend Clark collected a band of soldiers and set out on their expedition, which lasted two and a half years. The captains and several of the soldiers wrote each day’s events and discoveries tli.roushout the journey. The Salisburys have selected the material carefully from these diaries and have written an absorbing account of this ventui^e into the west. The Salisburys also covered the same trail and they give the reader a vivid picture as a modern traveler sees it.

STRANGE LANDS AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE-William Douglas Seething revolutionary unrest has created a problem that the 149

RED American people must face in dealing with the people of the Mid­ dle East. With a deep understanding of religious, economic, and national factors Justice Douglas shows us the countries and people to the south of the Soviet empire. He shows us too how Western democracy is losing by default to Soviet propaganda, and why the fiercely independent people of this region, caught between capita­ lism and communism are dangerous.

SCHUBERT： A MUSICAL PORTRAIT - Alfred Einstein This new evaluation of Schubert’s work is the first comprehen­ sive study of the composer to appear in many years. It is not just a nother biography, although the biographical material is up to date.

The emphasis is upon Schuberts musical achievement in a univer­ sal sense as well as in the field of song. Professor Einstein places Schubert against llic musical background of his time and shows his relationship to his contemporaries, particularly to Beethoven.

He follows Schi山eit’s creative development from year to year. All those who km)'、'. Iheir classical music and like Schubert will find this book rewaixiiiMi.

CHRISTIANITY AND AMERICAN EDUCATION Edward H. Riam Christianity and American Education is a call to educators to bring American education back to God. Dr. Rian asserts that American education today is dominated by secularism, a philosophy center­ ed in man and not in God.. Christian standards of truth and of right with Gocl as their source, are ignored or ridiculed. In many instances, God and religion are ruled out of education. Rian states that the Roman Catholics have overcome this challenge of secularism, but that the Protestants for the most part have not, because they — and here the Missouri Synod school system is mentioned — have no philosophy of education and practically no textbooks. An interesting way to find out how others see us.

Sdito^ial SOON now it will be Thanksgiving time again and overywhere one will hear exhortations to be thankful — thankful for freedom and for prosperity and for blessings of everv sort. For us Thanksgiving has also a very special significance, for it stands half-way between Reformation Day and Christmas, and so with the remembrance of the one it points to the chief gift of all gifts, the Christ in Christmas.

Throughout the next weeks everyone will be bombarded with pious sentiments. No doubt most of tiiem will be sincerely spoken.

Most of the speakers and writers of such expressions want very much to persuade and arouse the people in their audiences. And the more sincere and convinced they are of their ideas and ideals, the more eager they will be to break through into the minds of their listeners. Every serious writer wishes that he could write so compellingly that people would have to read, and every speaker strives to speak so compellingly that people have to listen, The key to success lies primarily, of course, in the message and secondly in the manner of presentation and organization.

When we begin to apply such thoughts to our future calling 151

RED as pastors and teachers, they still can stand. To be sure, the mes­ sage that is given to us in the Gospel is in itself far, far more cornpellin g than any proposal ever suggested by any man, but still ministry does not consist merely in getting pious and starting the rr to talk. A pastor (or anybody else, for that matter) needs tools for digging and for analyzing and for sifting and for communicating.

Before l thorough, accurate job can be done, good tools are essential. And that is the basic purpose of your education at North­ western —to fit yourselves out with the general tools before you begin the specialized work in theology.

There is, therefore, a special reason to celebrate Thanksgiving here at Nortliwestern — because, especially, of the Message that has been entrusted to us by God and then also because of the ex­ cellent, vital purpose and accomplishments of our schooling here.

Thanksgiving is a day for recalling and re-evaluating things which we very often Jake for granted or even criticize. j. A H.

IS a fih't that our synod is pursuing a definite program of • mission v/oik in various fields. Do we know where these are?

Do we clearly imclerstand the problems and needs that confront our missionaries? And above all, do we support these missionaries with our pray(-rs and gifts? No, I venture to say that few of us do.

Why is is that we are so little mission minded? Thoughtful and prayerful consideration of this question is not only our duty, but it is also a challenge facing many of the pastors of our synd today.

“For we cannot but speak the things which we haye seen and heard.” This is the essence of all mission work. Through the message of the Gospel, the Holy Ghost creates in us a compelling der sire to tell the good news of salvation to others. Like Peter, we can not, and dare not, silence our voices, even though all men should turn against us. And yet, we show such little interest in the mission work of our synod?

First we must become thoroughly acquainted with our synod’s mission program and its needs. If we have no knowledge of this work, we can hardly expect to be interested in it, to say nothing of supporting it. Thus, I suggest that we . as studens and as future pastors strive to become personally acquainted with our mission work. Perhaps this could best be done by organizing a Northwes­ tern College Mission Society? This society could hold about six meetings a year in which we would have an opportunity to discuss our synod’s mission program, both home and foreign, with various

•v

152 一

RED pastors, missionaries, and professors, O ur synod’s mission work should become a personal concern to eachl and every one of us.

After we have begun to realize, to understand, and to appreci­ ate our mission program we will want to support it. Most likely the word “support” will not appeal to some of us. We will argue, “I m going to school; I would like to give, but I just can’t affrd it. Am JL not sacrificing my life for the work of the church?” No, if vve are honest with ourselves, we can afford to give and to give a lot. It will mean sacrifice, but not one of us would suffer undue harm or impair his happiness if he gave from ten to one hundred dollars a year to the support of our missions. That some will be able to give more than others is quite understandable, but all of us can give —and the more we sacrifice, the greater the joy that will be ours and others.

The best way to support anything is to give systematically, Perhaps we could establish a school mission fund? This fund could follow the pattern of our former Care collections in which a collection was made once a month. Better yet would bu a gathering of the fruits sown and harvested through the conseciated work of our mission society. At least we should give. We should likewise pray for our missionaries.

By the suggestion of a mission fund here at school, however, I do not wish to encourage anyone to neglect his missin cntributions to his home congregation. Ratlier, our gifts and sacrifices at school should be a thank-offering for the great blessing of being able to prepare for the ministry. We are not sacrificing our lives for the work of the church! While others must of necessity devote a great portion of their time to their respective occupations, ours is the lib­ erty to enjoy the full-time study of the Word and to bring its message to others.

As we look at our home congregations and those about us, we can clearly see the problems facing our pastors in regard to the support of our missions. While our annual mission festivals should in reality be a time of thanksgiving — thanking God for the privilege we have had during the past year in bringing His saving Word unto othersthey have too often become a last desperate attempt to meet the deficit of our mission quotas. We often do not succeed in meeting them. No, too often ur pastors seem compelled to emphasize the Great Mission Command, while it is undoubtedly one of tlie greatest PRIVILEGES Christ has granted to us his disciples.

If we as future pastors do not apprehend our synod’s mission program, how can we hope to implant in the hearts； of our future flocks a zeal for a mission work of which they know little more than nothing? If we have not experienced the joy and the love of sacri153

RED ficing to bring the Word to others, we will hardly be able to encourage the members of our pastorates to give cheerfully. They too might do as we do and not as we say. Yes, our churches must have a mission-minded ministry.

^The Dlew Sleco^cle^i fo^i Speech CWofik ...

ITHIN two weeks Northwestern should receive the new tape recorder recently purchased by the college for use primarily in its speech courses. The Juniors and Seniors of this year have as part of their regular English course with Professor Kiessling bea speech course which provides one period a week for speeches and criticisms. In order that the students might be able to hear themselves spealc, and thereby be able to criticize themselves bet­ ter, it was decided by resolution of the faculty to purchase a suit­ able machine to <lo the recording.

The unit selected and now on order is a Brush Soundmirror traveling portable tape recorder. This machine provides for up to thirty minutes of single-channel recording on a seven-inch reel of tape. The recording is clone at a speed of seven and one-half inches per second with a frequency res ponse up to seven thousand cycles per second. Both high and low level input jacks are provided, as well as an output connection for an external sjpeaker, radio speaker, or public address system. A “magic eye” is used as the recording . level indicator.

The recorder utilizes many other modem electrical develop­ ments, among which are the R. C. A. accordion-cone speaker and the tone control to balance treble response. The features of the machine, as well as the many late technical improvements incor­ porated in its manufacture, should show up so that when it is put into use in our speech courses it will prove itself to be the most efficient and satisfactory thirty-eight pounds of electrical equipment on the campus.

^Komecoming in ^Review ... ^^|fOMECOMING activities began officially on Thursday, November 6, in the evening, when the student floats paraded down Watertown’s Main Street. After the parade there was no bonfire this year to warm up the festivities because of the dryness of the countryside. Nevertheless, a lively pep rally was held from the porch of the “pest house”. Homecoming then proceeded with 154

RED the game on Friday afternoon between the Varsity and Mission House. The :result of this game, a 71-6 victory, made the final step of Northwestern’s annual homecoming, the banquet, likewise a great success. The banquet began in the college gymnasium at 5:30 P. M. on Friday evening. Five hundred and fifty alumni, students, and friends were on hand. Here, at the gymnasium, they saw what cooperation, willing work, and planning had accomplished. It is only proper that due credit is given to the “N” Club which planned the homecoming so well； to the faculty wives who worked so hard behind the counters preparing the food； to the coeds and freshmen who served； to the sophomores who decorated the ceiling of the gymnasium； to the juniors who arranged the homecominu： parade and assisted in the gymnasium; to the seniors who arranged for the tables and their decoration； to the freshmen who later cleared the gjymnasium； and to all who, through human oversiebt, liave not been mentioned here, but were nevertheless very helpful.

After the eating was finished, Pastor Redlin, of tlie local St. Mark’s congregation, took over as master of ceremonies. Bert Treiber spoke as the representative of the student bodv, and Fd Stelter spoke for the championship team. Coach Len Umrm:、. after he Slashed his talk, handed out the letters and trophies to th<、varsity players. Tutor Wietzke then addressed a few words U) his Pren team. The main speaker of the evening, Pastor M. Schwartz of Fremont, Wisconsin, was then introduced. During the evening the college Glee Club, under the direction of Bob MuelU1% presented five songs and thus rounded out the program very well. At approxi­ mately 8:30 P. M. the homecoming of 1952 was all o'( r. It is to be hoped that 1953 will see still more alumni and friends present at an equally successful homecoming. p. c.. E.

^Rhapsody in £Blue • • • wM|jpHAPSODY IN BLUE is a movie about the life of George Gershwin and retells his life from the time of his earlv child­ hood in Brooklyn, New York, until his death at the age of thirtyseven. George Gershwin was the greatest American composer of the first half of the twentieth century. The movie besides showing the musical life of Gershwin, also portrays his emotions and their effect upon his life and the lives of his friends. The picture combines good music with a dramatic sequence of events, It is not like most biographical movies — stale, dry facts about a person. This picture leads the viewer into the inner emotions of Gershwin, his love and his striving to become a great American musician and X55

RED composer. Gershwin started his composing career by writing popular songs. Then he composed the score for musical plays, but he always hoped to write music expressive of the American people.

Early in life he fell in love, but Gershwin never .took this love seriously or realized that he needed this love until shortly before his death. He was completely wrapped up in his work and drove himself to express his musical ideas perfectly. He had little time to reciprocate the love shown to him by the devoted friend. Be­ cause of his intensive work he finally broke down and died when he was only thirty-nine years old.

This movie gives its patrons a good portion of Gershwin music. Besides being very dramatic, it encourages a liking for Ger­ shwin music. This writer personally never appreciated Gershwin mus.'c, but after seeing how this music is an expression of the emotions of a common American, he has come to think very much of Gershwin and his art. Although this movie does at times approach boredom for the average music lover, it never quite comes to that point, and it do(、s leave one with a high regard for modem Ameri­ can music. t. c. H.

This being an election year, the National Student Association sent out ballots to be distributed to all college students for a pre­ election day poll. About all it showed was that the Urofs. have been eminently successful in their campaigning over the course of years. Final count： Eisenhower, 100 votes； Stevenson, 16.

Scene： Hebrew classroom Time： 8:45 A. M. Haag enters, looking more bleary-eyed than usual.

Prof： Good Morning, Haag. Have you had breakfast?

Haag： Yes： I was up at seven, but just before class started I got some shaving lotion into my eye, and it took till (a likely story, Isch). now to get it out The Pharisee — alias N.

<*

RED Prof. Robert Tyson of Hunter College. He’s written an article in Pageant magazine entitled： Ten Easy Ways to Get Through Col­ lege Without Even Trying.

1. Bring the professor newspaper clippings dealing with his subject. If you don’t find clippings dealing with his subjject, bring in clippings at random. He thinks everything deals with his sub­ ject.

2. Look alert. Take notes eagerly. If you look at your watch, don’t stare at it unbelievingly and shake it.

3. Nod frequently and murmur “Iiow true!” to you, this may seem exaggerated. To him, it’s’ quite objective.

4. Sit in front, near him. (Applies only if you intend to stay awake.)

5. Laugh at his jokes. You can tell. If he looks up from his notes and smiles expectantly, he’s told a joke.

6. Ask for outside reading. You don’t have to read it. Just ask.

7. If you must sleep, arrange to be called at the end of tit. hour.

It creates an unfavorable impression if the rest of the class r；as left and you sit there alone, dozing.

8. Be sure the book you read during the lecture looks like a book from the course. If you do math in psychology class •. ad the psychology in math class, match the books for size and cv v.

9. Ask any questions you think he can answer .Cor.. ersely, avoid announcing that you have found the answer to a • • '.ostion he COULDN'T answer, and in your younger brothers secorul read­ er at that.

10. Call atttention to his writing.. Produce an exclusively pleas­ ant experience connected with you. If you know he’s written a book or an article, ask in class if he wrote it.

Nobody is happier than Seeger that the study period has been shortened by half an hour. That makes it so much easier for him to be at his desk for a complete study hour. He’d like to have you know that he’s done it once this year already, and that’s witnessed

by Richie Pankovv, Bob Firlus, Otto Klemp, Gary Kossow, Arvin Kohlwey, and last and least Dick Seeger.

Banner Still Waves Joe: With the present divorce rates, America certainly is the land of the free, isn’t it?

Moe: Well, I don’t know, with the marriage rate still going up, up, I’d say it’s the land of the brave.

RED Kienitz has pretty well proved the point that lie’s the sound­ est sleeper up here. The other day he fell asleep on his couch and awoke to find himself, couch and all, out in the circle behind the dorm. This guy had better be careful in class or he’ll wake UP sometime and find out that he’s attending a Quarta history class.

Another Hallowe’en has come and gone.. Except for the fact that all the club-room furniture got off course and landed in the square,, everything was pretty quiet, until 1:30, that is. The fire alarm set o/F at that time called all he “boys” together and after a short introductory jam session, featuring the sourest trumpet this side of Ilong Kong, they really got started.

Query of the month： Just how did Reuel Schulz get that perfume all over his jacket? ?

It’s plain to see that everyone around here actually has our interest at 1.. u t. Now take that new fire escape, for example. That was put uji or the express purpose of preventing boys from get­ ting hurt '.vhik' sneaking in or out on that old wreck. Come to think of it. would have been rather embarassing to break down with the oM one about 2:30 some morning, wouldn’t it? . . . Now the only q!'•:•'、【ion is “Why can’t we smoke in our rooms, seeing that we lia'、all that extra fire protection now?”

While scientists make milk from hay I still get mine the udder way.

•! • Chworowsky’s advice to the tired: If you’re goin珥 to yawn in class, do it so your prof won’t catch you. It seems he neglected this little bit of advice the other day, much to his embarassment Maybe that explains his recent interest in traveling.

Due to the unusually dry fall, the Frosh were excused from making the annual bonfire this year. The other homecoming events went on per usual though' Quinta made o任 with first prize with its float, and the Seniors managed to come in second. “Stretch” Beckmann was M. C. for the pep fest, which featured such celebri­ ties as Her Highness, Queen Flemming and the attendants, “Lyla” LindloflF and her “"V^avilla” Pieper. “Rastus” Treiber comprised the colored section and a few old “alumnums” were back to re­ mind the present team of the glorious days when they used to set the pace.

RED The prognam was sponsored by Dunlap Flat Footballs and it is largely due to the use of their product that the game with Mission House turned out as it did.

While we’re giving credit, we might as well mention the John­ son and Johnson Co. Their tape held our team together, especially such loose-jointed characters as Fusz Fuhlbrigge (pronounced with two syllables) and Dan Habeck.

In a November issue of an old B & R I happened to run across a novel table of liquid measures, obviously written by a football player making the most of his post-season freedom. “T'vo pints make a quart, two quarts make one wild.”

U. W. EXTENSION — 13 NORTHWES'i l'.PxN - 33 The Black and Red, never defeated by an Extension 11, rolled to its eighteenth \ ictory over the Milwaukee team, in a game that was decided i'： ihe third period by three quick touchdowns. In the first quark*!. Rich Pankow fo ught over from the five-yard line to wind up a (I; yard drive, and give the Gosling’s an early lead.

The Gosling defense relaxed, and early in the second stanza, Bob Rush plunged a\-er from the one to tie the score. The aroused Gos­ lings then proceeded to march 67 yards for a touchdown, climaxing the effort with Erhardt Schultz’s 5-yard smash. On the third play of the second semester. Extensions center snapped the ball over the punters head, and Beckmann clowned the ball on the Badger 3-vard marker. Braunschweig snuck for the marker, after Kuckhahn had plunged for two. Interference was ruled on a Braunschweig-toHabeck aerial, and the ball was placed on the 26. Pankow took Braunschweig’s toss in the end-zone on the next play, Minutes later, Pankow took off from his own 46, and outstepped the Bad­ ger secondary for h s third touchdown ramble of the game, Extensions second score was produced by a short pass, Jones to Marquardt in the final quarter.

WISCONSIN TECH -14 NORTHWESTERN - 14 The Northwestern Varsity cinched its second straight title in a game with second-place Tech, but the Miners managed to spoil the Goslings’ undefeated-untied record by fighting the Lenmen to a draw. Winter shook loose on the Goslings’ sixth play from scrim162

i

RED mage, and took Glenn Braunschweig’s ten-yard flip for an easy score. Fuhlbrigge’s kick sailed true, and Northwestern, true to form, held an early advantage. The Miners lost the ball on downs, and Braunschweig returned Fahertyspunt to the Tech 19. Again Win­ ter took a pass from Braunschweig, and again Fuhlbrigge’s kick was good； and the Goslings appeared to be on the way to aonther easy victory. Punts were exchanged, and then the Home-cominginspired Miners began to roll. Sparked by Keith Faberty, they drove to the Northwestern 14, and Pete circled end to score. Van Natta ran for the conversion. Following the kickoff, the Goslings were forced to punt, and Adams, Platteville linebacker, broke through to block Kuckhahns kick. The ball was downed on the 15, and four plays later, Faherty crashed over from the 2. Pett fired to Hartmann to knot the count. The Goslings threatened in the third period, when a 15-yard penalty, Winters short run, and Braunschweig’s air-mail to Pankow placed the ball squarely on the two-yard stripe. A fumble on the next play ended the ibreat.

Platteville was forced to punt, and Northwestern took ov*,.i on the 48. Once more the Goslings marched, this time to the M iner 4, before the offense stalled. The Tech offense caught fire momentarily in the closing stanza, when a series of end sweeps carried io the Gosling 25, before the Black and Red defense stiffened. Uolh sig­ nal-callers cautiously resorted to straight running plays and punts in the final four minutes, and the time ran out with the Goslings in possession on their won 25.

MISSION HOUSE - 6 NORTHWESTERN - 71 The Goslings finished out their second straight undefeated season by overyhelming Mission House in a rousing Homecoming victory, The Goslings scored in a varied and prolific manner through out the afternoon, and recorded the largest score in Badger-Illini — and Northwestern College — history. Since free scoring was the theme of the affair, here is a brief run-down on who registered and how； 1st quarter: Winter, 24-yard run； Dobberstein, 28-yard pass from Braunschweig； Kuckliahn, 23-yard run; Fuhlbrigge, 2 conversions. 2nd quarter: Schulz 28-yard pass from Schulz； Kuckhahn, 30 yards on flat-pass from Winter； Mueller, 10-yard run； Fuhlbrigge, 3 conversions. 3rd quarter； Kuckhahn, 8-yard run； Mueller, 4-yard run； Fuhlbrigge, 1 conversion and 15-yard field-goal. 4th quarter： Schulz, 5-yard run； Madson, 5-yard run； Fuhlbrigge, 2 con­ versions. The Muskies tallied in the scond quarter on a 25-yard pass play from Stroessner to Meili.

CHRISTMAS …THEN AND NOW The shepherds heard and heeded well the cry: “A child this day is born in Bethlehem.

Go find the babe that doth on fodder lie, The sprout of a sinful yet of royal stem, Your savior, and the world’s most preci<ous gem.”

They hastened, found at once the lowly shed, Where Jesus lay, devoid of diadem； They worshipped there beside his little bed, And rising quickly, joyous Christmas tidings spread.

But what of those who heard their king was born On paupers’ bed — and came from Galilee?

They wondered, mused, perhaps discussed that morn, How herders left their livelihood to flee To town, this common baby for to see； How these backwoodsmen yet that very night Were hailing folk to tell in joyous glee, That Isr’el now was free from sin’s dread might, Apd God had man become to save him in his plight.

RED ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS Christm as was not one of the earliest festivals observed by the Christian church. Before the fifth century there was much ar­ gument as to whether Christ’s birthday should be observed in January，March, or December. Some of the early church fathers be­ lieved Christmas should be celebrated perhaps in May or April.

There is no historical evidence of a festival commemorating Christ’s birth in the apostolic or post-apostolic era.

December 25 is mentioned first as a possible day for Jesus’ birth by Hippolvtus at the beginning of the third century. He does not mention a church festival for this day nor is his reasoning in determining the date conclusive. In the middle of the third cen­ tury the festival of Christ’s birth was combined with that of His baptism on January 6 or Epiphany. According to the Calendar of Philocalus, 354，December 25 is given as the birthday of the Lord, but no mention of a festival is made. At the end of the fourth century Chrysos1' mentions that December 25 is known in the West as the birtluU.' : Christ. At the beginning of the fifth century the emperor of t: luist, Arcadius, accepted this day as the date of Christmas ait 卜、was persuaded by his brother Honorius, the emperor in the V, By the middle of the fifth century most of Christ­ endom liacl at . pled December 25 at the birthday of Jesus. The Ar­ menian Churdj, however, never acceptecl this date and still celebrates Januai； v is a double festival of Christ’s birth and baptism.

Many theories have been advanced to find the reason why December 25 rvas chosen. Hippolytiis calculated his date on the theory that Christ’s conception and crucifixion occurred on March 25 but only thirty-three years apart. By figuring nine months from the conception, Christ was bom on December 25. Some historians believe Christmas was set for December 25 to replace heathen fes­ tivals, since that was the date of the pagan Roman feast of Brumalia or the end of the Saturnalia.

The Germans celebrated their Yule feast around December 25.

This was a festival commemorating the return of the sun after the winter solstice. These old heathen festivals had a strong hold on the people, and some scholars think it was easier to replace these heathen festivals with a Christian one than to abolish them com­ pletely. Whatever the theory for placing the date of Christmas on December 25 may be, the true Christmas spirit of LOVE is of far greater importance than the historical exactness of its time. t.

RED THE MINNESOTA MASSACRE

• il

The Minnesota massacre by the Sioux Indians under their great leader, Little Crow, ranks as one of the bloodiest events in the annals of our history. The Sioux had given up nearly all their lands through fraudulent treaties, many ot which they were trick­ ed into signing. The only land left to them was a strip 150 miles long by 10 miles wide along the south side of the upper Minnesota River.

The treaties stipulated that $550,000 be paid the Indians for their land and that an annuity of $15 per person be paid in gold.

A very small fraction of this money ever found its way to the In­ dians. From Washington down to the Indian traders, parts of this money were appropriated for claims, often false ones, against the Indians. The traders openly boasted how they had “p;Kkled” their bills for go ods sold to the Indians. In 1862 the government tried to pay the annuities in paper money. The Indians rt'l'ised to ac­ cept it, not believing that it was as good as gold, The Indian agents then promised them gold, but one delay arose alter another until the Indians lost patience and struck.

On August 17, a Sunday, three men and two w omen were killed near Acton. It was the spark that set o任 this worst Indian massacre in our nation’s history. That night Little Crow and the other chiefs of the tribe met in council and decided to strike. The plan was to so terrify the Whites that they would flee the country.

New Ulm was the first major objective, then Mankato and on down the Minnesota River to St. Paul.

Monday, August 18, 250 Indians under Little Crow attacked the Lower Agency. In thirty minutes every White had died or had fled. In the meantime, smaller bands were roaming the countryside. Every farm and small settlement was left a heap of mins.

The inhabitants were killed or fled to places of safety. Many, es­ pecially the women, suffered outrages too horrible to describe.

August 19, 900 Indians under Little Crow attached New Ulm. The 1000 inhabitants with half that number of fugitives had set up a barricade in the center of the town； toward this the Indians rushed. The town would surely have fallen at this first charge had not fifteen well-armed men arrived at that precise moment. These men through their bravery and the example they set for the panicstricken citizens saved the town. The fight was not over yet by any means. The Indians grew more reckless and daring as the day pro­ gressed. Ammunition was running low in spite of the efforts of the women to cast new bullets. The cou ra ge of the defenders began to wane as the afternoon wore on. The leaders could scarcelyr keep 170

HED the men at their posts. Some wanted to kill their wives and children so they wouldn’t fall into the hands of the savages, Those were

the conditions at four-thirty in the afternoon.

But then, when almost all hope was gone, an unexpected ally saved the town. A violent thunderstorm broke with a force that only those wlio have witnessed such a storm on the plains can realize. The superstitious Indians took it as a bad omen and with­ drew. The first battle of New Ulm was over. Had New Ulm fallen, there is no telling how far the Indians may have gone in driving out the Whites. The next town was Mankato, 28 miles down the river. It would surely have fallen, as it was situated in a place im­ possible to defend.

The next day the main body of Indians under Little Crow attacked Fort Ridgley. There was a furious battle for several hours, with the outcome in grave doubt for some time, but the forts can­ non proved to b • the deciding factor and the Indians were driven off. On Friday returned but again were unsuccessful. On Saturday the Indians made another attack on New Ulm but again were beaten off ji'ler a fierce battle.

During the week of August 18 through the 24, 35,000 settlers fled from their iionics leaving behind ruined buildings, all their possessions and the mutilated bodies of their loved ones. It was a terrified army lumying across the plains, all in search of one thing, safety, safet)- from the savage horde that was sweeping over the countryside leaving nothing but burning buildings and mangled bodies lying in their own blood.

The stories told by these fugitives are unimaginable. They are stories of fear, starvation, terrible hardship, pain from wounds and anguish for loved ones who were killed and mutilated before the very eyes of those who escaped.

That was the Minnesota massacre. 700 Whites were killed, not only men but also women and children. The number of Indianss killed, by their own figures, was 42. The losses in property were tremendous, the destruction in the ten counties that were hit the hardest was almost complete.

In February, 1863, 38 Indians were hanged near Mankato, The remaining bands of the tribe were rounded up and put on a reservation in the Dakotas. Little Crow, the author and ringleader of the out-break, was killed in the summer of 1863 near Hutchinson by a settler who found him picking berries. His body was thrown in a ditch where it rotted in the hot sun. Some time later his remains were gathered together and the skeleton preseirved.

Thus, less than twenty miles from its starting point, ended the a. h. z. worst massacre in our nation’s history.

RED THE GREEN HORNET

•tl

It has been said, “Love makes the world go round.” I think Prof. Eickmann would have a hard time proving it with his gyroscope, but nevertheless much truth lies in the statement. Within a lifetime all of us are afflicted with it in many forms —love of parents, friends, sports, studies (?), wife, and children, to mention only a few. One would hardly include an automobile in this cate­ gory, and yet thats just what happened to me.

Of course, this was no ordinary vehicle. It was my elder by five years and for this reason immediately commanded my respect. One might apply the saying “Age before beauty”，but this was not entirely true, for the “Green fiornet” was not without a peculiar beauty. True, the front bumper was gone and rust spots were showing through the two-tone black and green coat of paint from which the name was derived. But these blemishes went un­ noticed as one observed the straight, clear outlines, the bold up­ right air with which it carried itself. There are none of the slouchy, dripping lines of its progeny, but rather the quiet (when the ignition was off) stately manner that reminded one of a dowager empress. Nor did its attractiveness stop with form. There was also the beauty of maneuverability. Its short wheelbase could effect a U-turn in half the space required by the present lux ary cruisers, which is very convenient when you find yourself going down a one-way street the wrong way. The way in which it poured forth its soul in an effort that dimmed the very lights at the touch of the horn button was a far cry from the raucous blatting that usually pours forth behind a slow starter in heavy traffic today. These and other individual traits, such as the gas gauge that rode in the back seat in the form of a measuring stick, are what gave the “Green Hornet” its charm and endeared her to me.

She was a rather fussy old empress. As long as she was treated in a way that suited her peculiar tastes, she made no complaint.

But woe unto you if you neglected her daily check-up of oil, gas, and water, or failed to advance the spark ancl throttle at the proper time. Her wants were few, but these little attenions she demanded.

On one occasion as the Hornet and I were enjoying a nocturnal expedition, we found ourselves rolling backwards, due to a bit of negligence on my part, and very shortly thereafter we both were staring at the starry sky from an uncomfortable position at the bottom of a ditch. Although directing twin beams of light at the distant heavens, she tried to appear unconcerned, but the “Green Hornet” was very offended at the indignity I had exposed her to. Although she seemed to have forgotten me, since she did not protest when I pushed the starter after I had effected the res172

RED cue by means of a tractor, she did not forget the incident immedi­ ately. Spitefully she loosened a strategic connection and gleefully dripped away two dollars worth of gas before I caught her at it.

Many were the enjoyable experiences we had together, but as is the way of all worldly ties, ours too came to an end. (You must excuse the tear-drops on this page.) When the time came to go back to school this fall, she was willing, in fact eager, to go with me. I tried to explain to her that some very nice gentlemen would­ n't approve of her presence, but she couldn’t understand, and when she looked at me so trustingly with her big round eyes, I couldn’t bring;myself to press the argument. So when the seventli of Septciniber came around, I carefully parked her so that she could not see 1 ny departure.

Thus with aching heart I left her to her fate. Shortly after, she fell into the hands of some scoundrel who intended to put her to the menial task of pushing snow around a gas station. Heaping insult upon incligmh、lie bought her, body and soul, for the dis­ graceful sum of tiiMty dollars.. I hope she won’t start for him!

RED BAHAISM

U

If you are ever travelling on Highway 42 on your way to Chifrom Wisconsin, stop at Wilmette, Illinois. Wilmette lies on L^ce Michigan, north of Evanston, about thirty miles south of the Wisconsin state line. If you are going south on Highway 42 you will see a magnificent piece of architecture on your right hand side when you reach Wilmette, Illinois. This is the Bahai temple, or house of worship. It is the home or center in America of another world religion.

In Milwaukee there are about four hundred Bahais who are now celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the faith. In May of 1953 will come the climax when the temple in Wilmette will be dedicated. This will mark the end of the building process whose plans started fifty years ago..

Who are the Bahais? When did they get their start? In answer to the first, it would suffice to say that they are mere human beings relying on human beings, who have the grand sounding pur­ pose of helping all human kind. In answer to the second question, it can be said that they had their start at the fall in the Garden of Eden. But they wouldn’t know what that meant, so we will start the story as they give it..

This world faith with its challenging thoughts started in Persia in 1844 with the teachings of a young man called Bab. He taught that God would reveal a great teacher who would unite men and women and start an era of peace. However, Bab became too popular. The result was that the Persian government and the Islamic clergy united to kill him. This was accomplished with a massacre, as the Bahais now relate it. But Bab’s thoughts weren’t destroyed. In 1863 Baha-ullah came forth and announced to the few remaining followers of Bab that he was that great manifesta­ tion of God which was to come. He began to spread his teachings.

The Islamic clergy again exercised their influence. Baha-ullah was forced into exile. Palestine, where he died, still an exile, in 1892.

At his death he appointed his oldest son, Abdul-baha, as interprter of his teachings. Under his direction this religion was now spread to Europe and America. After -Abdul-baha got out of prison in 1908, he made several missionary journeys. In 1912 he came to America, and at this time he laid the cornerstone for the temple in Wilmette. At his death in 1921 he made his oldest grandson, Shoghi EfiEendi, the first guardian of the faith and interpreter of the teach­ ings. Under this man the Bahais started an administrative order that is to be an epitome of the world order which Baha-ullahs teachings intended.

174

RED What is the world order which this world religion wants to create? Baha-ullah declared that each community should have a house of justice, each nation should have a house of justice, and that these groups should elect an international house of justice which would make the laws for a federalized world. Doesn’t that sound like the very purpose of religion to you? It does to many people.

The faith propagated by Baha-ullah is known as the Bahai world faith for three reasons. First, Bahais live in more than seven­ ty countries of the world of every background, race, or creed. Sec­ ond, this faith develops world-mindedness in that it dedicates it­ self to the service of mankind. Thirdly, the Bahai faith offers a clear pattern of world order, as shown in the preceding paragraph.

But, to be a little more concrete, what is the faith of the Bahais, the followers of Balm-ullah? We shall now take some statements directly from a pamphlet the Bahais give you when you visit their temple. Baha-uliwh “taught that the purpose of religion in this age is to unite the conflicting races and nations in one faith and a cornmon world civilization. He changed religion from personal salva­ tion to a means for building world order.” That last part sounds interesting, doesn't it? The mission of the Bahais is to unite the world in one common faith and one order. The purpose of religion for them is to build a just world. Justice, Baha-ullah pointed out, is the most important tiling in the sight of God. “This is the basis of Bahai belief： one God has given men one Faith through pro­ gressive revelations of His will in each age of history, and Bahaullah reveals the Will of God for men and women of the present age. This bas:c belief enables Bahais to unite and work together in spite of different religious backgrounds.” By “progressive revelations” the Bahais mean that the one God, whom people call all kinds of different names, reveals his word in each period of history through a special person whom the Bahais call the Manifestation of God. This person “restates in every age God’s purpose and will.”

Thus they teach that Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ, and Mohammed were such manifestations. The present manifes­ tation is Baha-ullah. According to the present 'purpose and will”， a Lutheran could go to the temple in Wilmette with a Catholic, a Jew, a Shintolist, a Mason, or what have you, and pray in true unity.

“Here all men may turn their hearts to God and know that they are brothers.” No sermons are allowed here. Lectures are heard. There is no special clergy or priesthood. Only vocal music is heard. But now we are back again at the Bahai temple.

The only architectural requirement Baha-ullah made for his temples was that they have nine sides. Nine, the largest single 175

B

RED number, was to symbolize the coming of age of the human race.

The nine sides also concern the great religions of the world. The nine sides of the temple were to show the actual unity and co­ operation of these religions in that they all led to God. In 1903 America’s Bahais started their temple project and kept in mind the lone requirement of Baha-ullah. In 1912 Abdul-baha laid the cornerstone as formerly related. In 1920 a competition was held for Bahai architects to submit designs. A French-Canadian, Bour­ geois, handed in the accepted design. Traces of Egptian, Roman­ esque, Arabic, Renaissance, and Byzantine style are pointed out in the building that is now almost completely finished except for landscaping. The temple has nine sides, with numerous steps cir­ cling the entire building and leading up to it. The best way to des­ cribe it from the outside, possibly, is as a three layer cake. The first layer has nine flat segments, each with a door. At the nine junctures are pillars on which are religious symbols. Above the nine doorways are selected utterances of Baha-ullali. The second layer, again has nine flat segments, each with beautiful windows.

There again are nine pillars at the junctures. The third layer, still smaller，has nine rounded segments and thus the appearance of a dome. Instead of pillars on this layer, there are nine ribs which follow the dome upward and come tocether in the middle on the top, pointing at each other and the skies. The entire outside is amazingly done. The intricate ornamentation was cast in molds, as a mixture of white cement and ground quartz and then applied to the building section by section. On the inside the three layers vanish. There is just one immense, liipli，vaulted, beautiful room or hall. In a very deep basement the Bahais have their auditorium, their exhibits, and whatever else is essential to their buildim;.

The preceding is a p;cture of the Bahai house of worship in Wilmette, Illionis, and an idea of what it stands for. If you ever are there, at least look at the building. And after you have heard their lecture and seen their exhibits, try to control yourself when they suavely say, “Come again, won’t you, please?” p. G. e.

BRINGING IN THE NEW YEAR

RED But some people are just foolhardy or crazy. The AdAmAn Club has been called that because of its bizarre fashion of bringing in the new year. The AdAmAn Club of Colorado Springs, so named because the club “adds a man” every year to its roster, salutes the New Year by setting off fireworks at midnight from the 14,110 foot summit of Pikes Peak in what is probably America’s most unique New Year’s celebration.

Pikes Peak, at any time of the year, is an uncomfortable place to be at night. But on December 31st, at midnight, it’s at its worst.

Temperatures go way down and winds of 75 miles an hour have been recorded. The summit is covered with deep snow and ice — so deep, men cannot find either of the two summit houses without chopping through walls of ice. In thirty annuail trip s to the summit, the men ol the club have never failed to get thlere, shoot off their fireworks, and return safely, There have been accidens but nothing serious Once, in 1936, a member of the party lost his footing on slick ico and slid 200 feet clown and into a boulder. He broke a rib and .had to be carried back into civilization. Another time a member got his nose too close to a kerosene lamp and was over-come. lit n•covered. Another man with frostbitten hand and feet put them into kerosene, thinking it was water and was frozen even worse, but ho too recovered. The worst hazard is not the cold but flying ice. This ice is ripped from the mountain by the fierce winds. Often the men return with their faces chewed by flying ice particles.

No more than twenty ever make the trip at once, since that’s the largest number that could be taken care of safely. The mem­ bers making the trip leave Colorado Springs, altitude 6,000 feet, on the east face of the the morning of December 30. They walk peak over the old Barr Trail, laid out in 1925 by Fred Barr, one of the original members. He used to run a burro climb business to the summit, which has been replaced by the cog railroad, That night they stay at Barrs old camp, altitude 11,000 feet. The next morning the remainder of the climb is accomplished. Upon arrival at the 14,100 foot summit the entire party starts “breaking” into the summit house through the snow and ice to get to shelter and retrieve their fireworks. These were sent up on the last trip of the Pikes Peak cog train, usually in October.

Inside the summit house, the men light the stove and try to keep from freezing to death, no small task. A few trips ago, the temperature in the summit house, after the stove had been burning for ten hours ,was 13 degrees. The water froze in one member’s canteen while he was sitting two feet from the stove. This water 177

RED was also brought up on the cog railroad in October in the form of a 100 pound cake of ice. out in the Finally the zero hour approaches and the men biting wind to accomplish what they climbed the peak for. First a brilliant white flare is set oflF to let the world know that the new year has actually begun. Then follows the rest of the display of skyrockets, Roman candles, chain reacting shooting stars - fireworks of every color and description. The impressive sight can be seen as far north as Denver, south to Pueblo and east to the Kansas state line.

Their accomplishment in the minds of many, probably, is nothing at all. With men that have the spirit of adventure, that climb, that odd way of bringing in the New Year, offers a chal­ lenge. They like to meet and subdue it. And therein lies this strange and cold New Year’s Eve celebration.

PI1IL KUCKHAIIN

MOUNTAIN FOLK During a recent vacation trip through the South, I had the opportunity to observe the customs and homes of some mountain peple in North Carolina. It was rather surprising to see people living in this modern age without any modern conveniences ex­ cept, perhaps, for an automobile.

If you turn off any paved road in the southwestern thermal belt of North Carolina and drive for some distance on a side road, you cannot help seeing a few of the cabins of these mountain folk.

But before you do this, be sure your car is in good condition, for the road is of red, hard-packed dirt in which there are many holes and washouts. And not only is it rough, but there is also an endless string of S curves which takes you around mountain after mountain through a dense forested area.

Soon, after a few miles of driving, you may come to al typical mountain farm. It is composed of a cabin, cotton shed ,corn crib, and tobacco shed. All these buildings are small, and many of the cabins have only three rooms with very few furnishings, However, none of these buildings have ever been painted, and many are built of logs.

1 The cotton and tobacco sheds are not much used since the growing of these crops has been declining in western North Carolina.

When you see one of these places, you’d almost think you were back in the 19th century, There are no screens on the doors or windows of the cabins. During the warm weather, when doors 178

li

RED and windows must be open for ventilation, the flies and bugs have a holiday. Electric lights are seldom found in these cabins, for lan­ terns and candles are used for illumination after dark. The water for the family is obtained from a well dug near the house. Over the top of the well there is a small w oode \ box with a movable cover. Above this there is a crank on which a rope with a pail at the end is tied. Thus to get water one merely lets the pail fall to the bottom of the well and then cranks it up. This is a very tedi­ ous task for the house wife on washday. Most of these places have no clotheslines, and the washing is hung over the rusty barbed wire of a fence.

These southern people lead easy and almost carefree lives.

They have a little land which has been cleared of trees, where they grow a few crops, Here one is almost sure to see tall com, much of which may have the tassels cut off. This is done because they usually don’t have enough feed for their few milk cows and thus must feed anything available. But if they happen to run out of feed, they would rather let their cows starve than to buy feed or sell them. Since they grow corn, their main dish at all meals is commeal and corn bread. The men work in the fields when they feel like it, and spend the rest of their time sitting around smoking their pipes.

Most of these mountain families have an old car which is used for trips into town, but that is the farthest distance they will travel during their lives. The little money which they do earn from their farms is usually spent on moonshine whiskey, wjhich is in great deriffs on a constant search mand there. This also keeps the county sheri for illegal stills.

The speech of these people is typically southern, but they talk so fast and use so many slang expressions unknown to Northemers that it often is extremely difficult for one to understand them. A state law in North Carolina requires their children to be sent to a public school and school busses also are provided for transportation. But the schools are lax and the children not too willing to learn, so their scope of learning isn’t veryr large, Most of the children do not even finish high school, since they many at a very early age.

The ancestors of these mountain folk first settled in this part of North Carolina shortly after the Civil War. In the South there were also a number of white people who were freed from slavery alo)ng with the Negroes. Due to the deplorable condition of the So uth after the Civil War, they had no jobs and therefore journey­ ed to the mountains of western Carolina where they settled down.

RED Many of the mountain cabins there today were built by these ancestors.

A vacation trip through this part of our country is not only enjoyable but also educational. The country is a very beautiful forested area with mountains, lakes, and streams, and if you look a little bit into its history and its people you will also find it quite n. ii. n. intriguing.

LUTHER: THE FATHER OF CONGREGATIONAL SINGING Once again we have celebrated the anniversary of the Lutlieran Reformation, and once again we have heard various sermons about Luther and his work. One phase of Luther’s work is often overlooked, however, namely his work as a hymnwriter. Therefore, let’s see briefly how Luther merits the name, “Father of Congre­ gational Singing.”

While congregational singing had held an imporlant place in the early church, it had gradually been laid aside cluring the Middie Ages .In the 15th century Roman Church, church music and song were regarded as belonging exclusively to the priestly office.

The entire worship was conducted in Latin, with the unlearned laity often taking no part at all in the service. A century before Luther, John Huss and his followers tried to introduce congrega­ tional singing in the Bohemian churches, but they were strongly opposed by 2ie papacy. The Council of Constance, which burned John Huss in 1415, decreed: “If laymen are forbidden to preach and interpret the Scriptures, much more are they forbidden to sing publicly in the churches.” But with the Lutheran Reformation，the tyranny of the Pope was broken； and the doctrine of the 'universal priesthood of believers” opened the door for the scores of hvmns which were to follow.

We all know how fond of music Luther was, how he sang for alms “with a sweet, clear voice” as a student, and that he played the flute and the lute. In the cloister and afterwards, Luther be­ came familiar with the old Latin hymns. Although some of these he later accepted into the Lutheran Church, many others were full of Roman errors and needed purification.

Luther early recognized the need for congregational sin ging.

“I would fain see all the arts, and music in particular, used inl the service of Him who hath given and created them，’’ he declared.

Thus he opposed Carlstadt and the fanatics： MIf any man despises music, as all fanatics do, for him I have no liking； for music is a 180

RED gift and grace of God, not an invention of men. Thus it drives out the devil and makes people cheerful.” Yet, in his modesty, Luther did not feel that he had the necessary talents to write hymns.

“We lack German poets and musicians,he complained. Fortunate­ ly, the Counter-reformation in Belgium gave Luther the needed impetus.

In the Augustinian cloister at Antwerp, the Prior of the abbey and two youths, Heinrich Voes and Johannes Esch, are sentenced to death by the Inquisition for refusing to give up their newlyfound Lutheran faith. On July 1, 1523, the two youths are tied to the stake in tlie Brussels* marketplace. Still they remain steadfast.

As the flames begin to crackle, the two believers break forth in the most glorious hvmn of the ancient Church, Te deum laudamus (Lord Cody wc praise Thee).

When Luther heard of this, he sat down and wrote Eirt neues Lied wir heben an in memory of these two Lutheran martyrs. At the same time, he wrote Spalatin and Johann Doelzig urging them to try their hand at writing hymns patterned after some Psalm.

He further acK isvd them “to avoid fanciful expressions. Let the words come in tin- most natural and direct manner, which may be clearly understood.” Unfortunately Spalatin and Doelzig did not respond, but Paul Speratiis and Justus Jonas, professors at the University of Wittenberg, answered Luthers plea.

In 1524 the first Protestant Hymnal was published, Das Achtliederbucli, containing 4 hymns by Luther, 3 by Speratus and 1

by Justus Jonas. The same year the Erfurt Enchiridion was pub­ lished, containing 25 hymns, of which 18 were Luthers. These booklets spread rapidly, and before long, the enemies of Luther were "lamenting, “the whole people are singing themselves into his doctrines.” Yes, Luthers hymns had body； they were not merely wishy-washy expressions of some pious sentiments. They were sermons in miniature! Many were based directly on Bible passages.

His melodies likewise had real character.

Ein feste Burg，written in 1529 and based on the 46th Psalm, claims 80 different English translations alone, besides its transla­ tion into nearly every modern language. Likewise several of his melodies have received lasting fame. Ein feste Burg3 Luther’s dis­ tinguished melody, is used as the central theme in Meyerbeers opera Les Huguenots, in overtures of Raff and Nicolai, as the theme of the last movement of Mendelssohn’s Reformation Symphony, as the theme of a beautiful Bach cantata, and as the triumphant Fi­ nale of Wagners Kaisermarsch.

At the time of Luthers death, 60 collections of hymns had been published in Germany alone, and congregational singing was 181

•»

RED well established in the Lutheran Church! Luther himself wrote 36 hymns. In this way the ^Nightingale of Wittenberg” poured forth his sweet, melodious song; and so does he merit his position as ‘Father of Congregational Ringing.”

On Luthers monument in Wittenberg is inscribed Ein feste Bttrg ist unser Gott. Let’s make it our motto also!

1 Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott, Ein gute Welir und Waffen; Er hilft uns frei aus aller Not, Dit uns jetzt hat betroffen.

Der alt boese Feind, Mit Ernst ers jetzt meint, Grosz Macht und viel List, Sein grausam Ruestung ist, Auf Erd ist nicht seins gleichen.

I

2 Mit unser Macht ist nichts gethan Wir sind gar bald verloren； Es streit fuer uns der rechte Mann, Den Gott hat selbst erkoren.

Fragst du, wer der ist?

Er heiszt Jesus Christ, Der Herr Zebaoth, Und ist kein andrer Gott, Das Feld musz er behalten.

3 Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel waer Und wollt uns gar verschlingen, So fuerchten wir uns nicht so sehr, Es soil uns doch gelingen Der Fuerst dieser Welt, Wie saur er sich stellt, Tut er uns doch nicht Das macht, er ist gericht, Ein Woertlein kann ihn faellen.

,, ::

4 Das Wort sie sollen lassen stan Und kein Dank dazu haben, Er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan Mit seinem Geist and Gaben.

Gut, Ehr, Kind und Weib: Lasz fahren dahin, Sie haben kein Gewinn, Das Reich musz uns doch bleiben!

RED THE WILD WHEEL - Garet Garrett Within our lifetime, an era of unrestricted economic growth has changed from a living reality to an American myth. The purpose of this book is to seize and fix dramatically this great historic phas e of American experience, exemplified in Henry Ford. This phase was a world of miracles, and its revolutionary idea was mass production. Garrett writes with intimate and personal knowledge.

In style and narration he has recaptured the spirit of a time when America was ，for better, for worse, the free playground of the strong； and he has made an economic phenomenon spring to life as if it were a full-blooded creature — which perhaps it was.

ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE - Amy Kelly The story of that amazingly influential and still somewhat mysterious woman, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has the dramatic interest of a novel. She was at the very center of the rich culture and clashing politics of the twelfth century. Richest marriage prize of the Micidlc Ages, she was Queen of France as the wife of Louis VII and went 'vith lv.m on the exciting and disastrous second crusade. Lafi-r she married Henry Plantagent, who became Henry II of EnglanJ. Eleanor was interested in all the movements of her time: the intellectual revolt, the struggle between church and state, the secularization of literature and other arts, the rise of the distinctive urban culture of the great cities. Miss Kelly’s biogra­ phy of Eleanor brings together more authentic information about 、her than has ever been collected before. Amy Kelly has spent much time for twenty years in study and travel in preparation for — ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE AND THE FOUR KINGS. EAGLE IN THE SKY - F. van Wyck Mason During the years 1780-1781，this nation became bankrupt and was all but exhausted by internal dissensions of long standing and by the desperate battles of a long war in its final stages. Only an out-numbered naval squadron sent by His Majesty Louis XIV and the presence in Rhode Island of a little army of French regulars lent forlorn hop e to the American patriots. With these turbulent years as backgr ound-climaxed by the surrender at Yorktown of Lord Cornwallis — F. van Wck Mason traces his story of three young doctors, their careers, their love-making, and their rough and tumble adventures in the service of a young and struggling country. Vividly, and with complete realism, Mr. Mason has writ183

MR. LINCOLN’S CAMERA MAN - Roy Meridith Here in both illustrations and text is one of the most fascina­ ting “finds” in years. Every one interested in the Civil War will enjoy this book. Here, possibly for the first time, are many of the great battles of the Civil War described from the point of view of the photographer — a new and entirely different view of the conflict. For the general reader, MR. LINCOLN'S CAMKRA MAN is a complete pictorial and textual history of American military and social life from the 1840s to the 1880’s. Among tin* celebrated people of that era photographed by Brady were Lincoln, Jenny Lind, Oliver Wendell Holmes, P. T. Barnuni and many others.

His lighting, posing and sense of scenic background art' jynazingly modem — a point that will make the book interesting to the amateur photographer.

SdltoKiai £Te>/ic of Christmas ...

HRISTMAS time is again here. The actual clay of observance is just around the corner. That was brought to our notice long ago. Maybe our folks asked us last summer, or we told them, what we wanted for Christmas. Before Thanksgiving, cities were being decorated with Christmas ornaments. The shop windows were full of toys and of every conceivable article that could be given as a gift. The stores were full of people, but the churches were still empty. That is the commercial spirit of Christmas. But we all have heard plenty of that spirit. There is no need for going further into it. We'll even grant that some commercialism might be all right.

But possibly we are overlooking something. Whenever Christmas time comes sledding along, some people find it sufficient to criticize commercialism. Hove some of these people thought of just what Christmas time is? When is Christmas? That’s easy!

We’ll say December 25. That’s fine, too. But it is by no means in­ clusive. Why couldn’t Christmas be July 25? It could be and 185

RED should be to every Christian. And not only July 25, but every other day of the year. Christmas in December shouldn’t be a special time for being good, as often appears to be the case with youngsters, any more tlian Lent should be a period of self-denial different from any other period of the year. Christ’s work of redemption, finished on the cross, spread a blanket of forgiveness over all time from Adam’s fall to the last great day. It is here for us all the time. In like manner the birth of that sweet, holy child Jesus in Bethlehem was the beginning of that work of fulfillment. This beginning isn’t valid for us just a part of the year. We can bs working under the hottest sun in summer and rightfully say, “Today is Christmas for me.M And then we could at the same time say, “Today is Easter.

How often have you heard “From Heaven Above” during the summer? And yet it wouldn’t be out of place, would it?

We have set aside a certain part of the year as Christmas time.

That’s fine. Nor is there anything wrong with emphasizing Christ’s birth more at this time. But let’s not forget that we have Clnistmas time all year, too. Every day we recall how Christ was born in that lonely manger, and how he suffered, and how he died and look away all our sins. The glorious truth of Christmas lasts through all ages, and through every day, every moment of our lives. p. g. r:

The picture portrayed Paul Douglas as a United way States Pi山!“ Health Officer in New Orleans. A Czech stowaw is killed by small gang along the waterfront. In the police au topsy this stow ： way is found to be a carrier of pneumonic plague, an extremely coiitagious and fatal respiratory disease. To prevent an epidemic, tlu- police have to bum the body and find the killers in forty-eight hours. The movie deals with the frantic hunt for the killers who, besides being murderers, are the carriers of a danger­ ous disease germ which can take on epidemic form after fortyt. c. H. eight hours.

Oh, ye;s, the editor always has a good reason for it. nother issue out before the Christmas vacaThis time it’s to the columnist an excuse for turning in short tion. At least it articles.

Dennis Wetter has been getting some mighty strange letters lately. Besides the regular letter lie’s been finding lillle notes in the envelopes. True to form, Denny has kept his opinions to him­ self, but youll notice he did go home over the Thanksgiving vacation, so he’s no doubt checking into the matter more fully.

Wliile speaking of the Thanksgiving vacation, we might men­ tion that the usual number of about 25 stayed here. In case any of you have lost confidence in Irv’s cooking, just contact any of the fellows who stayed and he’ll give you a glowing description of the turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and of the bacon and eggs for breakfast, etc. etc.

Strangely enough, Tutor Nitz was shining around Watertown quite：regularly during vacation, too. Could it be that he worried about us and was just checking to see how we were getting along?

RED George Tiefel has become quite a Greek orator of late. He reportedly has an offer to play the part of Medea with a company of Greek actors who are making an extensive world tour. It’s not too surprising. After all，his name is Greek. All it is is a poor transliterated, Greek verb TUPHLOW — to make blind — which, when transliterated, becomes TIFLOW and, with the ending drop­ ped off, readily takes the form TIeFeL. Incidentally, it’s usually taken as a passive meaning “to be baffled.

The souad for the ’52-’53 has been selected, and for the first tim(' iii five years, the pre-season sages on our campus are speaking ophniist'cally of a conference title. Seven men from last year’s ten-u and three welcome reinforcements make up a squad that shov dexterity, and shooting ability to compensate for a lack of 丨：rht under the boards.

Rich \\ inter, hijrh-scorer the past two seasons, will team with A1 Piepi i eshman from NeNw Ulm at forward. The latter has evrdenc < : ;siderable skill as a playmaker, but lacks size for re­ bound wc.V. Lee Dobberstein, a regular at the forward post last year, and !)iti Berger, intramural hotshot, will do capable work when callocl on, 2-ycar veteran Dan Habeck, tallest man on the Varsity at 6'3", will be back at center, and Rolfe Westendorf will be back as his understudy.

Husky Ed Stelter, rugged rebounder and consistent floor­ player, will return as a starting guard. George Rotlie, junior from Concordia, Milwaukee, is expected to greatly bolster the Goslings with his accurate shooting eye and all-around ability. Reuel Schulz and Rich Pankow, both capable lettermen, will round out the guard coq)s.

The season-opener against Concordia, River Forest, a nonconference tilt, should give some indication of what we can expect this season. On December 5th, the untested Goslings will meet the Cougars on the Northwestern floor, and their fast-break­ ing offense will probably find a true test in the perennially strong Concordia ‘5’.

^>4 C^ode^e Student 5 C/oai A college student’s goal after graduation is to achieve a reasonable measure of financial success. He knows that many good things in life do not necessarily bear the dollar sign, Nevertheless, he desires to have financial success that spells the com­ forts of life.

The most powerful lever in gaining financial success is the ownership of capital. The difference between financial depen­ dency and financial success is largely the difference in a per­ sons ability to accumulate capital from the very beginning of his career.

You can own capital — and be financially successful — if you have a plan, if you work the plan, and if the plan is in itself failure proof.

Life insurance with the Aid Association for Lutherans can be your first step toward financial success. It provides an immediate capital estate. It is a definite plan of accumulating capital. It is in itself failure proof.

Consult an A. A. L. field representative, or write to the Home Office for further information.

FROM SINNING… From sinning, Jesus, make me free, And claim me wholly thine； Let not my wayward heart resign To Satans guile and tyranny.

From sinning, Jesus, stay my hand.

Rule o’er my head and heart.

A stronger faith and will impart To follow thy command.

From sinning, Jesus, turn my way To that of thine abode, Unswerving on this narrow road, To watch and pray!

And when at last thy face I see And taste thy promised rest, I'll join to praise thee with the blest, Whom thou, Lord, hast made free.

RED NORTHWESTERN GERMAN CLUB

-

O

■

About three years ago, some serious and earnest students got together and somehow began to discuss the fate of the German course at Northwestern. The opinions raised indicated that Ger­ man was becoming a dead language among the present genera­ tion of students. It was indeed a pity. After seven years of Ger­ man, most Northwestern graduates could not even hold a decent conversation in colloquial German.

Those students, however, were concerned, and when they saw how the study of German was lapsing into a mechanical study of vocables and grammar and then splicing sentences together according to a number of memorized rules, in about the same way Latin and Greek were taught, they determined to do something about it. They conceded that Latin and Greek wouM have to re­ main mechanical languages because they were dead, but German was a living language, and there was no reason whv after seven years of study a person should not even be able to speak it.

Those students were also spurred on in their quesi of a reme­ dy because they liked German and wanted to reap tlit- rewards of the time spent studying it. The desire to speak Germ.ai in a sort of casual way with full confidence in onesself provided additional incentive to the ambitious. But where was the remedy? What could they do? To solve those questions they looked around and found many interesting methods. The army was using a concentrated course in teaching German that made the pupil the master of simple colloquial German within eight or ten weeks. The ap­ proach to teaching the language was similar to tliat of the popular Linguaphone Method, in which progressive phonograph records are used. The theory behind that system is that you learn the lan­ guage much in the same manner as a child learns to speak his native tongue, simply by repetition, without any grammar and sentence structure rules. The students concluded that practice along this line would give them a “Sprachgefuehl” and a simple colloquial vocabulary which they could really master in a very short time.

From there they could advance more easily by themselves.

After a few months of talking and arguing they decided that if anyone was to benefit from their theories they should waste no more time and do something. They decided that they would lick the problem most easily by going on their own, forming a German club and proceeding from there. After this was accomplished, the first thing they did was to get together and buy a set of Linguaphone records with a set of the accompanying textbooks for each.

196

RED Then they tried to get a private clubroom. This was the hardest they finally managed to get a cubbyhole allotted to them part, but i in the basement of the dorm.

About this time they thought they ought to organize officially and draw up a constitution. They agreed upon a meeting of all members, for one and one half hours three times a week, to discuss to pics in German. There would be no English used in that room. Tlso time would be allotted to the individual persons to use the records by themselves. # At first it wasn't so rosy, but, in spite of all pessimistic pre­ dictions of immediate doom, the organization continued. After about two months of work, the meetings began to be enjoyable. The members chose topics on which they would talk, and of course they had general conversation in German. As their abilities grew they looked for m literature in the modern vein. They bought a subscription to "Oas Beste”，a German translation of “Reader’s Digest,” and som'、oilier German magazines. Upon getting these magazines, they、.' <、uld always read the jokes first, of course, but what did they re； second? Peculiarly, the advertisements. They always seemed a s.llv imitation of those of America and provided many a chuckle. Towards the end of the year there was a new addition to the German club room. It was a shortwave radio donated for temporary use by one of the members. With this, on pood nights, they were able to pick up sometimes as many as three German stations. One station especially amused them. It was the Russian propaganda program for West Germany.

The results of th;s organization were very good. They were happy for that, because they had proved the pessimists and conservatives wrong. As enthusiasm grew the club grew, It was easier for the newcomers later on, because they had more! fluent superiors from whom they could learn. In a few years the club became solidly established. Professors of German classes noticed that its members were much more fluent, arid that they definitely bad that so-called “Sprachgefuehl”.

Now I must confess, and perhaps you are saying by now that Td better, this article is fiction, but like much fiction, it was c. WEIGAND not writen wihou a purpose in mind.

RED FROM A MAIL CARRIER： Dear Chris Rush,

«；■

I thought I would sit down and not only write you a line, Chris, but even a whole letter. It probably won’t get too long， but I don’t care. If it is heavy I don’t have to carry it anyway.

You know I actually saw red this Christmas. There were so many letters with that color stamp on them. But towards the end you could see quite a few blue ones.

You know, I found there are three types of mail. The one kind is the walking kind. You have to cany it and put it in the mail box, those huge things they have att Christmas time that will scarcely hold two dehydrated post cards.

Then you have air mail. That’s tlie kind they tell you never to mix with the regular when you’re casing, but you often do anyway. From my own experience I found air mail to be the hardest to deliver. Wlien I cafne to a house for which there was an air mail letter, I always started about twenty yards from the house for my take-off. I would run right towards the box — when I could see it — and try to get up enough velocity. 3 don’t know just how it looked, me running down the sidewalk with the ba^ flapping around my head like an over-sized necklace. But I al­ ways think, you know me, Chris, that if a job is to be done at all it might as well be done up brown. So anyway I started my take-off, like I said, about twenty yards from the house. A couple of yards from the box I then went soaring as gracefully as an elephant into the air to make it a bona fide air mail delivery. But you know what got my goat? Til tell you. To some places that had air mail, I delivered jyst the way I described, in true P. O. fashion.

But then the same house would have regular mail, and not only would I have to fly as best I could to the box, but I would again have to back up and walk to the same box to deliver the regiimore eflar mail. I don’t know why the Post Office doesn’t fident, Chris. I think if I were put in charge I could develop a technique for that air mail, like maybe a catapult for each mail­ man. But they would only laugh at me like they did at Edison. so I won’t even give them the benefits of my experience.

Now I have described regular mail and air mail. But what was really bad at times was the female. There were some pretty nice ones that — I’ll have to tell you about that some other time, Chris, But then there were some other females. I would just like to tell you a couple of things that happened, Chris, I remember one of those days it was raining. I had a cap 198

RED on that had an eaves trough style, the latest thing, you know. Any­ way I came to this one house and the lady came to the door while I was leafing through the mail. I happened to look down at the mail in my hand, and as I bent my head the voluminous volumes of water poured from my cap to the mail in my hand. I just got my hand out of the way in time to keep my watch from getting soaked. The lady stood there and then said, “This is clamp weather we’re having, isn’t it ?” Believe you me, Chris, I was shocked for a while. 1 think my ears were gurgling with water and I must have misundcrslood her third word. I was greatly relieved that the fault was rny ears —I think.

Then a di/Ferent time I came to place just after I picked up another load of mail. It wasn’t too heavy. My shoulder just looked like tlie back of a horse that has been ridden by a lot of you-know-whaNkiitd-of people. Like I say, though, it wasn’t too bad. Then a 1 jK came to the door with a three foot stack of mail in her arms. Jusf as I got there the mail accordioned out into my face and went Ii\ ing all over, even if it wasn’t all air mail. I put on my best Post Office smile and helped her pick up the letters.

Then she said in a very sweet voice, KVVould you please take these in for me? I forgot to mail them bla-bla-bla.” I again put on my best P. O. smile ind said sure, if she could just loan me a crowbar.

With the aid of that crowbar I managed to get the letters into my bag. I then took a smiling leave of the lacly. I was listing heavily to port and the bag was dragging a furrow in the sidewalk, but otherwise my spirits were in fine shape.

I had gotten about two blocks when I heard a gasping and pounding behind me. Soon this same woman caught up with me, wheezing gleefully. She handed me a card ancl said, “This doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to the people next door.” I then slowly turned around and walked back the two blocks with her to her neighbors place, which she very kindly pointed out to me. I was, of course, very grateful.

Then there’s just one more thing I’d like to tell you, Chris, You know how dogs go for mailmen, don’t you? Well, I had one that was just crazy about me. Matter of fact, it practically fell all over me. Now I didn't mind that so much. It didn’t even bother me so much when he took a hunk out of my leg, ancl out of, uli， another place. But when this dog started to attack the mail bag, then my sense of duty took over. After all, Chris, that bag was Post Office property. By that time, however, a woman came out of the house. She called to the brute, “Come to oor mama, oo itsy bitsy ittle Horace.” Immediately the hound left. For some reason 199

RED I had forgotten to use that type of language. After I mentioned something to the woman about the clog attacking the mail bag， which was Post Office property, she smugly told me the dog wouldn’t hurt me. She said, “Just don’t pay any attention to him.

He likes to play.” By this time Horace was playing with my ankle bone. I asked her please to tell Horace what she told me, and then I left with a radiant P. O. smile on my face. I think she for­ got to tell Horace, though, because next day he got a, uh, he bit me' again. But I managed to defend the bag.

Well, Chris, I think I have told you some of my experiences.

I tried to remember everything, but I know you'll forgive me if I forgot some minor point or something like that. Anyway, you can tell I again had a normal Christmas vacation.

Your Friend.

MEMORABILIA HYDROPOLITANA QUINQUAGlNTi：NNIA ( BY W. F. L. ’03) MAGISTRI ET DISCIPULI 1. INDUSTRIA The Faculty worked long and weary hours On ordinary and oft barren soil.

But tares grow faster than the wheat and flowers And largely nullify the fruits of toil.

The seed they sowed was surely of the best: It came from granaries of the Humanists； For ages had been winnowed, put to test In seminaries by theologists.

The culture though could have been much improved.

The sprouts were too long sheltered under glass.

A tree that storm and tempest have not moved Is soon uprooted, as in a morass.

Self-government and independent study can Develop character and make a cultured man.

2. SUPERBIA Proud isolationism was a pose Affected by some teachers in our day..

“Wir werden oft gefragt，’’ would Prexy say, 200

SIRED “Wie unsere Anstalt sich vergleicht mit andern.

Wir wissens liicht.” 一 “Was wollen Sie derm wanclern?

Sie haben ja studiert.” The saying rose, Wisconsin was a first-rate school for bumpkins； Chicago was scarce dry behind the ears.

If you could get a Ph. D. within A year, or so, at Rostock or Berlin, Why waste your time at mediocre Harvard?

Those who from foreign study felt debarred Could find a home two schools that were our peers.

Their names were Amherst College° and John Hopkins.

3. SOCORDIA Low standard of achievement was a curse That rested on most students in the dorm.

If every one got seven ty-tliree or worse In Greek, vou were a prig to pass this norm.

Dictator Sclilendrian silt on the throne.

Who：1 < r dared oppose him faced the purge Ilis ]'.( oohmon Mediocrity and Drone Would institute to strafe such wanton urge.

And s!：' mi id you flunk, or even be expelled, Your (Uul could take your case before the Board.

You con id be reinstated and upheld, And racultys decision was ignored, Despite fhis wretched systemi, boys with brains Macie spiritual and intellectual gains.

4. CONVICIUM Our dorm was like a seven-ring circus show: Performances went on by day and night.

Clowns, acrobats cavorted left and right, The band boys on their horns did toot and blow, The barkers, peanut vendors loud did crow, The jungle beasts did fiercely scream and fight.

Cut monkeys, elephants, and ponies bright, Giraffes，,and apes kept prancing to and fro.

Where was there place and time for us to think?

When could we meditate, enrich the soul?

What moment could we really call our own?

Where was the privacy when we could sink Our minds in studies, play the scholar’s role?

A student must have time to be alone. ° — J. H. Ott and W. F. Weimar had studied there for a short time and found its curriculum similar to ours.

RED 5. INI-IUMANITAS The Scottish bard who penned the winged phrase “Man’s inhumanity to man” thought less Of those who swiftly died through sworcl or blaze Than of slow victims of grief and distress.

The Stephens, Husses, and Sebastians Could move the brush and animate the pen; On mental martyrs even partisans Scarce wrote a sonnet, either now or then.

If gutta cavat lapidem, ’tis plain That daily pestering by a thoughtless band Of five-score youngsters can exert a strain That wrecks the stoutest human frame and brain.

Beside the SPRINTER ON HIS MARKS should sland Some poor Inspector martyred at their hand.

6. PASTIONES VIR1DIORES “How neat and green Bill Fairfield keeps his lawi>, And ours seems scraggly, gray, and full of weed.s!

The coffee fragrance wafted at the dawn From neighbor’s kitchen oft our own exceeds.

The plainsman about mountains is agog; The mountaineer does for the ocean pine.

The pictures in Sears Roebuck’s catalog The goods in any country store outshine.

And as the sons of Israel did lust After the heathen daughters of the land, So Lutheran students struggled hard and fussed To win heart of some pagan Sally Rand.

Or a sectarian lass, fair and robust, Beguiled the simple youngsters quite offhand.

7. PIETAS *Tis often true, alas! as Antony observed, That men’s good deeds are buried with their bones.

But let it not be so with those brave men At whose feet we have for seven years sat and learned The best that has been written, and who taught For life, not only for the school； who turned Our hearts from cheap and meretricious things To matters of the spirit, that are wrought By hands unseen. Under their regimen We learned of things that outlive bronze and stones.

In their curriculum they neither swerved 202

RED To leftish trends, nor did they stress what brings Immediate returns； but discipline They sought and training of the mind within.

DE SOCIETATIBUS Tlie Bohrverein consisted of All those not satisfied With surface knowledge； who did love True scholarship, applied To knotty problems in our text, Or wheresoever found, That even mature minds .have vexed And were deep and profound.

They went to the BRITANNICA, T<') BROCKIIAUS and to MEYER, AihI other works to find data, N Jore knowledge to acquire.

Thfir foes would call them introverts Ami horrid, greasy grinds, Who would miss even good concerts And parties of all kinds.

But they liad faith in Alexander Pope, Whose lines gave warning, inspiration, hope： “A little learning is a dangerous thing； Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.”

Learning, like virtue, is its own reward.

They’d mass no wealth like those who oil wells bored.

Not even gain a Siegfried Rlieinhold-hoard.

The best that they could hope for was a Bene^ Or a graduate scholarships small pay.

Perchance to win (and that would be fust strand) A Synod-bigwig’s charming daughter’s hand.

Or what might be in some ways better yet: A big town church entirely free from debt.

Plain living and high thinking was the tiling Awaiting drinkers at Pierian spring. ° — At that time the highest graduation honor. (to be continued) (Prof. Wm. Luebke, originally from Juneau, Wisconsin, entered North­ western in Sexta and graduated in 1903. At present he is living in Denver. Colorado, and is connected with the University of Denver there. In these verses he has recorded some of his recollections from his school days here at Northwestern.)

7心笔 POPULAR SYMBOLICS - —Engelder: Arndt： Graebner: Mayer Popular Symbolics is intended to serve as a guide to the study of the distinctive doctrines of the various religious bodies and movements represented in North America. The authors of POPULAR SYMBOLICS have tried to include in their program all churchbodies, sects, cults, and movements, however small in membership or influence； they have permitted these various denominations to speak for thems[selves by quotations from their official literature and standard theologians. However, the authors were not satis­ fied merely to present the teachings of the various churches as a matter of historical interest, but they found it imperative to examine them in the light of Scripure. A book of his type is of the highest value, both to the layman and the student.

THE HISTORY OF QUAKERISM - Elbert Russel Here is another book dealing with a sect of North America. THE HISTORY OF QUAKERISM was written from the objective point • of view with the purpose of providing a history of tlic Quaker movement as a whole. The author treats it as a segment of modern church history. In his book he pays special attention to the out­ standing persons, the discipline, the conservative or progressive tendencies, and influential outside forces. As we all know, the story of the Quakers is closely linked with American History, and the courpaeous work of the Friends on the abolition of slavery, the struggle for women’s rights, and reconstruction after the First World War, all are clearly outlined in THE HISTORY OF QUAK­ ERISM. A SUMMARY OF CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE - Koehler The authors purpose in writing this summary was to provide stu­ dents with a suitable manual to be used in connection with the Bible as the basis for class discussion of Christian doctrines. This book bridges the gap between the Catechism and the larger works on Dogmatics. A study of this summary will help us to understand better the Catechism, since it is a plain and simple statement of the doctrines of the Bible. Avoiding technical terms and discus­ sions, it should appeal also to the average layman. In the press and over the radio “religious” ideas and opinions are expressed that obscure and distort fundamental truths of the Bible. It is important that both the laymen and the students of our church are 204

HED well indocrinated. It is not enough that we have the truth in our books and Bibles； we must know the truth. Numerous Bible pass­ ages are quoted and these should be studied carefully, so that the reader may see for himself whether the doctrines set forth agree with the Word of God. For all those who are “weak” on the doctrines of the Lutheran Church, this book is highly recommend­ ed by this writer.

THE SMALL SECTS IN AMERICA - Elmer T. Clark Elmer T. Clark, author, missionary, minister, and correspondent, spent fifteen years in research before writing his book THE SMALL SECTS IN AMERICA. He has come lip with a fascinating study of the 200 small religious bodies in America. Though most of the groups discussed have less than seven thousand members each, and many of them are foreign and little known, their percentage of membership increase during the last three decades has been considerably hi^he'r than the large and widely known denomina­ tions. Knowlcdm' of them is vital to an understanding of American religious life. Especially interesting are their peculiar doctrines and practices and the reasons for their divergence from the main L. A. current of religious life.

Sclitonal ANUARY is the first month of a new year, 1953. Our reso­ lutions, if we bothered to make any, are about a month oldtwice Ihe ordinary life-span of such phenomena. Semester tests are just about over too. They, as usual, have also suggested some very definite private reforms in regard to concentration, hitting the books, and studying. These resolutions, so painfully suggested by tests and cramming, will be put into effect “as soon as we catch our breaths again,” and may last about three days. That should leave us free until next January, except, possibly, for a brief spasm of good intentions in September.

A good editorial should now say； Excelsior! Higher! Higher!

And by this time you’d have quit reading. A lot of school papers cross this desk and there are usually editorials in them with this , onward-and-upward theme. A taste of one is a dose of them all — they re all in favor of advance and opposed to retreat, usually in the same words. No doubt it is all very laudable and praiseworthy, but somehow nobody ever seems to be revolutionized probably be­ cause they never read more than the first few lines out of duty — and that after the jokes and sport news. A realization of this trag*

206

.

RED edy makes it rather frustrating for an editorialist, but then he prob­ ably would be writing the jokes himself if he were capable.

Someone once observed that, although men might praise and rave about some books, they actually get nothing out of them that is not already in their minds — that is, on the level of ideas. We, of course, except the Bible Irom such a judgment, but otherwise it is true that unless you are thinking about a problem and arriving at some answer to the same question，whatever an author has to say about a subject won’t attract your attention. Even then, if he agrees with you and says it the same way he’s obvious; if he agrees and says it better lie’s brilliant； if he doesn’t agree he's ofl the beam； il he disagrees brilliantly lie’s “interesting”.、 Words in themselves are dead, just like hammers and saws and nails. Yet when somebody desires to convey his thoughts to another person he employs these inanimate tools. The reader in turn is supposed to receive an idea as the writer conceived it, also from these lifeless syllables. He too is to be concerned or inspired or impressed or angered just as the author was moved. Does such successful wnliiiji： seem easy ? Even in conversation, with the bene­ fits of gestures, voice inflections, and personal contact, one is often forced to sav 'Well, I don’t know just how to say it, but you know what I mean 一But often the other person doesn’t and may even misunderstand vou greatly because your thoughts have not made contact. So with writing, where there are even fewer advantages, And that’s \vh\ one man said that he never got anything more out of reading than he was thinking before. He read the words of many authors, hut the life lie got out of them was not really theirs but liis own.

Do you think you can use language in such a way that the life your readers put into your words on the basis of their experi­ ence ancl thoughts will be precisely the sort of life you had when you wrote the sentence ? You may be surprised. In the meantime, appreciate the writers who to you as a reader do seem to j. A. II. be successful.

Coulcl CWe c^Jmp^ove… «„HY ARE we students in the collegiate department atttending 'J/O Northwestern College rather than another educaional institution perhaps larger and more 'vell-kno'vn ? There is no need for argument here at all. We're here because we want to become preachers. Here we expect to get the best preparatory training possible for the intensive theological training which will follow.

207

RED After this seminary work comes the active ministery. For those who wish to appreciate fully what is expected of you when you reach the ministry，for which you are now supposed to be training, read Prof. Iiardts article in the November Concordia Theological Monthly, “The Pastor After the Heart of God.” We agreed before that we students were here to get our pre­ paratory training for the ministry，didn’t we ? Now think about this question a moment: Is the curriculum at this ministerial train­ ing school the very best possible ? Read that question over again emphasizing the last four words, “the very best possible:’ Back in the 16th century Philip Melanclithon came to the conclusion that a humanistic course, emphasizing the classics, was the very best possible theological preparatory training. Generation after generation of Lutheran pastors have been fed tliis same diet.

We are given essentially the same course today which was given in the 16th cenlury. Well, hasn’t this steady diet produced very splendid and consecrated workers for Christ in llu、Lutheran Church ? Very true. But hasn’t there been an equally large number of equally qualified and successful pastors who have never had any classical course at all ? I’m sure you would find this to be true. It appears, therefore, that we can draw no conclusive de­ duction as to the suitability of a humanistic course for ])re-theological training from the results obtained. Both classical and more practical training courses have produced both good and bad pro­ ducts.

Answer the following questions truthfully: Doesn't our cui­ riculum prepare us better for a Greek professorship than for the work of a common, ordinary parish pastor ? Doesn’t it make us more fit to translate the Aenied than to speak seriously of what men are thinking about today, about what makes man tick, about human beings whom someday we will have to preach to, to counsel, to warn, to love ? Aren’t we guilty of overem phasizing, even sometimes bowing down to the idol of the ancient classics ? Wouldn’t a very intensive and extensive speech and composition course do us just a little bit more good ? Wouldn’t this course help the average student just a little bit more than forcing him to spend count­ less hours paging around in a dictionary looking up Latin vocables ? Either he must do this or look around for other helps to enable him even to pass through Northwestern and enter the seminary.

The basic probelm is this： Is Northwestern College to be regarded merely as the upper division of a liberal arts program, a secular university, or is it wholly and exclusively an instrumentality of preparation for admission to a theological seminary and finally 20S

RED for entrance into the work of the holy ministry in tlie Lutheran Church ?

Don’t get the idea that I would like to see the classics completely abandoned. 1 think that I enjoy them as much as any stu­ dent. But I do think that loo much simply does no good, but really does harm. It harms the student’s whole approach and attitude to his work.

Don’t you agree, every one of you, that there are a few argu­ ments on the side ol ihoss who would like to see the merits of the curriculum at this ministerial training schoo】 re-examined and re­ evaluated ?

This is no light matter. It may mean an extra worker in the Kingdom of Cod. It may mean one more soul for heaven. v； PRANCE

^Cuthc^an <Sluclent Sovernnient Conference FEBliUARY 12th to 14th, the Lutheran Student Govemmenl Conference will be held at St. John’s College, Winfield, Kansas, Wo as the student body of Northwestern College have been invited lo send delegates to this conference. Our student body president received requests for delegates and a proposed program for this conference from the host school and also from the conference president shortly before and during our Christinas vacation.

After tlio end of our recess, John Habeck presented the invi­ tation, first to the senior class, and then to the whole student body.

Since not much benefit was received from the sending of dele­ gates to the conference two years ago, many students were not convinced that there was much reason for sending delegates this time. After much debate a vote was taken and the resolution to send delegates to the conference passed by a small majority. It was pointed out that according to the proposed program things would be discussed at this conference that would interest and be of some benefit to us, although we do not have a student govern­ ment here at Northwestern. Such a conference as this can not be expected to solve any problem which we may have here at Northwestern, but it may be able to give new ideas at solving some of these questions.

About the middle of January Richard Balge and Lyle Albrecht were chosen as the delegates from Northwestern to this conference.

Balge and Albrecht will spend from Thursday noon, February 12, until Saturday noon. February 14, at St. Johns College. During 209

<«•

淡RED the course of the conference discussion will be on various subjects.

Some of the subjects which might especially interest us are things which the panels will discuss on: 44Administration Student Prob­ lems", “School and Organizations”, “Religious Life on a Christian Campus”. Addresses which might furnish new ideas are those on public relations and the address on music and sports.

As I said before, this conference will not solve any problems for us, but I do hope that our delegates will come back with ideas showing us how other schools run things. It is not our duty as students to run the school, but there are certain things which new ideas might be able to help.

Curtain ^Tinie ...

CURTAIN for the stage in our gymiinasium has been o-clercd by the Alumni Society’s Commlittee. The curtain will be of a reddish color, and there will also be a protective curtain, mainly to ward o任 basketballs.

FORUM’S first program of the season was masterminded

by Robert Schlicht and proved to be highly entertaining.

Carl HiUmer began the program with an informative and light dis­ course on Christmas customs and decorations, with special emphasis on mistletoe. Mr. Schlicht collaborated with Hans Ruege, Arnold Koelpin, and Paul Eckert in five ^Id-time* selections by the “Forum four”. Recalling an incident from personal experience, Karl Brandle recounted “A Christinas Tree Episode in Saginaw*'.

The audience was especially receptive to Tom Henning’s rendition of “A Trumpeters Lullaby”. Accompanied by David Schmiel, Mr. Henning was called upon for an encore, and complied with, “I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen”. Mr. Schlicht selected and direc­ ted a skit with a Christmas angle, “Just What They Wanted”. Thea Binhammer, Doris Grube, Polly Zimmermann, Ted Jungkuntz, and Alan Capek comprised a well-chosen and effective cast. Nlr. Schlicht is to be commended for his direction of a successful evenings program.

RED 2b%am ^rog^cim DJo. 2 - ^Smancipation ，， ^i^^VER half of the dormitory students were present in the gym Tuesday night, January 20, for the second Forum program of the school year. Dan Habeck, as master of ceremonies, present­ ed three speakers, Jim Berger, Merlin Rehm, and David Schmiel.

The speeches presented held close to the central theme of emanci­ pation； Jim Berger speaking on “The Slave and the Ex-slave”，and Rehm and Schmiel speaking on “Lincoln, the Reluctant Emanci­ pator* and “The Negro Problem Today” respectively.

Music furnished what might be termed the comic relief in the intermissions between speeches. The Glee Club gave an excellent rendition of negro spirituals during the first intermission, and during the second the audience took part in singing songs of the South. rs of the Forum were given the opportunity to ques­ tion the sjx akers for the evening in a ten-minute period immedi­ ately follmvng the official close of the program. Many and varied I)rcsented and discussed.

Did you know that: the tutors use “Grandma’s Lye-soap” ？ that “Richard” Pieper sleeps just as well on the floor as in bed ? that for services over and beyond the call of duty “Richie” Pankow has been elevated to the position of “guardian of the shower-rooni” ？ Lindloff claims he never really minded being short until he started playing intramural basketball this year. His main gripe is those long jersies. On him they’re so long that they always get tangled up in his feet and trip him. “Every cloud has a silver lin­ ing, though,” says Lindy. He maintains that with such a long jersev you can do away with part of what is generally considered a full-dress basketball uniform.

P. S. With the money this saves from his laundry bill he in­ tends to buy himself a pair of elevator shoes.

The Goslings dropped a photo-finish thriller to the Concordia Teachers, but served notice that the lean days are fast coining to an end. Sparked by George Rothe and Dan Habeck, tin Black and Red jumped off to a 25-20 first quarter margin. The Cougar defense tightened in the second period and limited Nortl>\vostem to four field goals, but free-throw accuracy salvaged a 39-36 half­ time lead for the Goslings. The Ped’s Bathje and Bauer bt i!；an to hit the hoop after the intermission, and Concordia held a on<-point advantage at the three-quarter mark. The lead changed hands frequently in the final period. With three seconds remaining, and the Goslings ahead, 71-70, Art Bathje took a short pass on an outofbouncls play, and conected for an easy bucket, as tlit、horn sounded. Rothe led all scorers with 24, and Habeck hit for 21.

Bauer and Bathje tallied 23 and 22 respectively for Concordia.

Northwestern copped the traditional Sem game in a rough 216

RED contest on the home floor. The alumni from Thiensville managed to keep the pace in the half and trailed by only five points at the intermission. But the Goslings, playing alternate quarters, outran the tired Seminarians in the second half and outscored them 50-25.

Dobberstein, scoring a point a minute, racked up the high total with 20, while Rothe and Habeck contributed 17 apiece. Dan Malchow led the Thiensville quintet with 12. A total of 61 per­ sonals were called in the contest.

This was the big one, and the Goslings went after il m rt big way. Catching hold in the early minutes, Northwestern held on all the way, and scored an upset victory over the fast and rangy Falcons on the latter’s home floor. The Concordia five ou'“scored the Goslings 10 buckets to 8 in the first half, but the Black and Red cagers cashed in on numerous free-throw opportunities lo gain a 29-27 halftime edge. Northwestern increased the lead to 7 points after the half, but the Falcons rushed back, and the battle was touch and go ’til the final two minutes. Concordia's fortunes suf­ fered a jolt late in the third period, when Ludwig, hard-driving forward, was ejected on five personal fouls. Rothe, playing inspired ball in his homecoming", engineered the Gosling stall in the closing minutes, and led all scorers in the contest with a rousing 25 points. Loock led the Falcons with 17.

A college students goal after graduation is to achieve a reasonable measure of financial success. He knows that many good things in life do not necessarily bear the dollar sign, Nevertheless, he desires to have financial success that spells the comforts of life.

The most powerful lever in gaining financial success is the ownership of capital. The difference between financial depen­ dency and financial success is largely the difference in a per­ son^ ability to accumulate capital from the very beginning of his career.

You can own capital — and be financially successful — if you have a plan, if you work the plan, and if the plan is in itself failure proof.

Life insurance with the Aid Association for Lutherans c: ;i be your first step toward financial success. It provides ai- immediate capital estate. It is a definite plan of accumivir.ting capital. It is in itself failure proof.

MATTHEW 5, 3-13 Those who are poor in the Spirit are blest, Fore’er in the kingdom of heaven they'll rest!

Oh blessed are those who are mournfully sad, In Christs sweetest comfort their hearts shall be glad.

Their s is the earth, who are mild and meek, Those who to all in humility speak.

Blessed are those who for righteousness crave, God them will fill, Christ those will save.

Those who are merciful, blessed are they, God will show mercy to them night and day.

Blessed are those whose hearts are found pure, They shall see God, this is truth to be sure.

Blessed are those who are peacemakers here, They are God’s children, full of hope and of cheer.

Blessed are those who for righteousness sake Are tortured, for these to Heaven He’ll take.

Blessed are ye when men do revile And persecute you and Christs name defile.

Rejoice and be glad, for in Heaven above Reward will be given by God whom ye love, The prophets before you, who were godly men Were tortured the same by men full of sin.

HONEST ABE On February 12 we commemorated the one hundred and forty-f<fourth birthday of Abraham Lincoln. “Honest Abe”一one of the gr eatest presidents of the United States, and a man worthy to be honored as a truly great man.

As a young man Lincoln was riding in a stagecoach with 、old Kentuckian. Abe surprised the old man by refusing all the offers of tobacco and French brandy. When the old man left the coach in the afternoon, he said to Abe, ‘*You know, I probably won’t see you again, and I don’t want to insult you, but I learned one thing from you today： A man who has no vices has very few virtues. Good-day.”

Whatever made this old man say that Abe had few virtues is hard to tell, but this statement must have greatly, influenced Lincoln, becaused he proved to everyone who came in contact with him that he had more virtues than most people do.

One of Lincoln’s virtues was kindness, even to his enemies, During the Black Hawk War an old, helpless Indian strayed into Lincoln’s camp. The old savage had a letter from one of the U. S. generals recommending him for his kindness to the whites.

Although his men insisted on executing the Indian as a spy, Cap­ tain Lincoln refused to raise a hand against the Indian and sent him unmolested on his way.

221

RED Lincoln once gave some advice to a young lawyer, which is good advice for everyone who does or plans to do any public speaking. This advice shows Lincoln’s deep understanding of people. Abe said, “Billy, don’t shoot too high — aim lower and the common people will understand you.

4<Thsy are the ones you want to reach — at least, they are the ones you ought to reach.

“The educated and refined people will understand you any­ way. If you aim too high, your idea will go over the heads of the masses, and only hit those who need no hitting.”

Lincoln's own speech was very impressive. One man, who was disgusted wlien Lincoln began his great pre-election Cooper Union Speech, said at the end of the speech, “He’s the greatest man since St. Paul.”

Abe never drank hard liquor. I do not know if you ’would call this a virtue, but it certainly was not a vice. Whe n the committee came from the Chicago Convention of 1860 to announce Lincoln’s nomination to him, one of the men suggested that such an occasion should be celebrated with a drink. Abe called the maid and whispered some instructions to her. The maid left the room and re-entered after a few minutes with a large pitcher and several tumblers. Abe took up one of these tumblers and said, “We must pledge our health in the most healthy beverage that God has given to man —Adam’s ale from the spring,” The guests admired him and joined in his example by drinking a tumbler of water.

Lincoln was very tactful as a president. In 1862 a group of boat •New York millionaires came to him with the request for a for the protection of the New York harbor. Lincoln listened pati­ ently and then said, “The credit of the government is very low, it is impossible for me in the present condition of things to furnish a gunboat, and, if I was worth half as much as you, gentlemen, are represented to be, I would build a gunboat and give it to the government.”

Abe’s last act before his assassination was to pardon a soldier who had been sentenced to be shot for desertion. Lincoln said, “Well, I think the boy can do us more good above ground than under ground.” So the great man ended his career on the same note which he struck in the conclusion of his Second Inaugural Address： With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see right, let us finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him 222

THOUGHTS AT A TIME OF INTELLECTUAL FRUSTRATION The literary conscience! It’s the plague of the modern scholar.

Now scholars, I admit, constitute a minor segment of popu­ lation in the United States, and if they should all pass away, they would not be widely mourned. But a sudden archaic curiosity prompts me, at this writing, to discuss just one of the problems of the scholars, anyway.

I have called this problem the “】iterary conscience.” One of its most vicious manifestations is the feeling that often bears down upon the student, that he must of necessity read everv book recommended to him. (Not that he ever does； he thinks he ou^ht to.)

The sad thing, first, is that books are recommended at all.

Next, that due to an inherent quirk of personality or to some modifying environment, scholars are conditioned to receiving such recommendations into the area of their moral responsibilities. This makes for sated, sluggish intellects and for dark days ahead.

People who induce other people to read more books than the other people already do (while both the people who induce and the other people are doubtless very pleasant to know) — the people of the first instance, I think, are contributing to the intel­ lectual stalemate of a future homo cloctus and to the eclipsing of hfs brain； they are guilty at least of assault and battery upon the* mind.

But the scholar who has the prickly literary conscience, the poor fellow who reads and reads and reads, the student whose books might well be called his god! he is sick and about to col­ lapse. In learning he is pinching his mind.

This is a matter of public health. Next month： the cure.

Sditorial FIRST month of another semester is gone, for the seniors, 觸of the last semester. For the Black and Red staff there’s only one more issue to go. Gradually spring is drawing near, but not quite fast enou gli to soothe winter-frayecl tempers. For some reason everything seems so bleak around Febmary-time-the weather, the landscape, our daily routine,even our friends and acquaintances at times. The whole gloomy atmsophere just seems to sneak up on everyone, and not until spring holds up her mirror do we see how far the corners of our mouths have drooped. So if your studies seem unusually burdensome and your profs particularly offensive and tyrannical, maybe it’s partially winteritis.

One of the few bright spots of the month was our attendance at the Lutheran Student Government Conference in Winfield, Kansas. Of course, some quarters feared too much revolution as a resuit and others not enough. But when an irresistible force meets an immovable object, the result is immobility. Nevertheless, our delegates received a very cordial reception and some interesting ideas and impressions. But their own comments are elsewhere.

And so are several other articles questioning or defending the 224

RED Northwestern status quo. It’s always a bit of a job to keep criticism constructive and defensive objective — but the columns of the Black and Red are everybody’s platform. So, in the midst of win­ ter, you should always be able to find some fresh views.

cJL JCetter ...

.

February 14, 1953 Mr. John Habeck, Editor The Black and Red Northwestern College Watertown, Wisconsin Dear Sir: That you should have published in your January issue the editorial titled “Could We Improve?" is certainly commendable evidence that at Northwestern the free expression of student opin­ ion is not stifled. Moreover, it is a particularly encouraging sign that your contributor pleads for a re-examination and re-evaluation of the school’s curriculum. He has apparently learned well from Socrates that “the unexamined life is not worth living.”

What prompts this letter, however, is my conviction that to be worthwhile any such re-examination and re-evaluation ought really to proceed along much more sound and logical lines of argumentation than the writer of your editorial follows.

The editorial states: “Back in the 16th century Philip Melanchthon came to the conclusion that a humanistic course, emphasizing the classics, was the very best possible theological prep­ aratory training.” Is it just, I ask, to lay upon Melanchthon an onus which, if it is one, must be equally shared by Martin Luther him­ self (Cf. his treatise That They Establitsh and Maintain Christian Schools.) Incidentally, the revision of the curriculum at the Uni­ versity of Wittenberg which resulted in a course of studies start­ lingly similar to our own was Luthers original idea, not Melanchthons, since the latter was not even on the faculty at the time of the innovation.

As to the label “humanistic” which your contributor applies to that course, one must object that it is thoroughly unfair and mis­ leading. Humanism is properly that attitude which the revival of learning in the Renaissance brought into vogue, in accordance with which man himself is the prime and central object of his own thought, action, and interest. Humanism and humanistic learning in that sense the Lutheran Church has always opposed and rejected. To imply that the study of the classics and humanism are identical is a confusion of essence and accident.

225

RED On the other hand, the author of your editorial attributes to the “humanistic, classical course” far more efficacy than it has any right to claim. He asks rhetorically： “Hasn’t this steady diet pro­ duced very splendid and consecrated workers for Cfirist?” and answers himself, “Very true.” To this one must take exception on ■ Scriptural grounds. For it is finally not the formal curriculum at all that produces either worker for Christ” or “consecration” in such a worker. That is exclusively the result of the Holy Spirits operation through the Gospel.

But what your writer has over-generously granted to the traditional curriculum with one hand he promptly endeavors to take back with the other. He asks: “But hasn’t there been an equally large number of equally qualified and successful pastors who have never had any classical course at all?” I call your attention to the fact that this is argument by unsupported generalization. From what statistical report is this astonishing information drawn? Who has adjudged these nameless numbers of non-classically trained pastors to be “equally qualified”？ Precisely what are the “qualifications” of which the writer speaks? And what exactly does he mean by “successful”？ It is to be hoped, Mr. Editor, that your readership will find itself unimpressed by this specious mode of reasoning.

Without entering upon the question whether our curriculum prepares us for the work of a common, ordinary parish pastor,” I do dispute the suggestion that it does “prepare us better for a Greek professorship.” The sober fact is that our full classical course plus three years of study at the seminary is not of itself sufficient preparation for a Greek professorship, if that professor­ ship is to have any depth or breadth. To argue, therefore, by means of such hyperbole is patently invalid.

It is, however, a more serious charge to imply that some among us are guilty, if only at times, of **bowing down to the idol of the ancient classics.” That the classics can become the object of idolatry is not to be denied. But to suggest that such is the case at Northwestern is a matter that ought properly to be investi­ gated according to Mathew IS, since the faith of individuals who profess to be Christians is thereby called into question. .

When it is asked, “Wouldn’t a very intensive and extensive (次i.c) speech and composition course do us just a little bit more good?*' we are set squarely before the fallacious argument o a se antitheses. The implication is that the school must offer either the classics or speech and composition. I see no logical reason o pre vent us from doing the one, while not leaving the ot un This same method of false antitheses underlies e Pr P 226

RED alternatives of Northwestern’s being regarded either “as the upper division of a liberal arts program” or as “exclusively an instrumentality of preparation for admission to a theological seminary.”

It still remains undemonstrated that the one possibility must be the contradictory opposite of the other.

Your writer concludes with a solemn warning： “This is no light matter. It may mean an extra worker in the Kingdom of God. It may mean one more soul for heaven.” Assuredly the matter is not a light one. But it is a confusion of issues to make the gaining of additional workers a part of the curriculum question. That way lies the road of compromise and accomodation, a road as danger­ ous in education as in theology And the winning of one more soul for heaven is again a matter ol: preaching the Gospel to every creature, and not essentially one of curriculum adjustment.

Finally, Mr. Editor, I have tried (with more success ，I hope, than Tacitus) to set down these thoughts sine ira ac studio. As I see it, our classical course requires no taking up of cudgels in its defense. Its merit is intrinsic; and like Beauty, it is its own ex­ cuse for being. A straightforward plea for re-examination 1 can indeed understand and heartily support. Such a re-examination, however, should be carried on with a view toward gaining a clearer understanding of the real nature of a liberal arts education, of the true relationship of the classics to such an education,, and of tlie distinctive character and purpose which in a Christian school the reigning influence of the Gospel gives not only to classical studies, but to the entire educational program.

1 look forward to reading in an early issue of your paper an initial contribution to that kind of re-examination of 011 r traditional curriculum.

Yours sincerely, Richard P. Jungkuntz

cJL 3?lea ... .^^INGE synod may soon begin to think about building a new dormitory for our school, I, as a spokesman for the majority of the student body, have a suggestion to make. I’m sure you won’t find it easy to go into the donn at anytime and find many students who are satisfied with the way in which their dorm life is run. Therefore I would suggest that if synod collect money for us, it collect a little more and build two dormitories, one for collegiates and the other for preps.

If the preps had a dorm of their own, they would learn some responsibility. The way it is now, they don’t have any responsi227

RED bility until they get to be juniors in college.

For my first three years of high school I went to Mobridge.

You may believe it or not, but there I was a room monitor in my Quinta year. Can’t you just see a Quintaner up here as a room monitor? Here Quintaners hardly know what a room is!

If the collegiates had their own dorm, they could lead a life befitting a collegiate. Now what do we see when we step out of our rooms during study hour? We see a tutor standing in front of the office like a traffic cop. He asks us why we aren’t in our rooms and where we are going.

Just for a moment compare us to the state universities and colleges. Are we not on a par with them? Should we therefore not be allowed some of the freedom of these other schools? How much arc tlu、students of the universities and colleges restricted by regulatton? II?re at Northwestern we have a long list of official “rules and reniimlers” for the students to live un to. Is this the type of life people associate with students of a senior college?

Therefore，if vou want the students of NWC to remember their days al school as pleasant days, house the collegiates in a KENNETH HALLAUER different dorm from the preps.

^Cuthe^ian ^Student Qove^wnent Conference . • 1953 L. S. G. C. was attended by delegates from fifteen Missouri Synod schools and Northwestern. Northwestern was unique at the conference in that it was the only school repre­ sented that does no thave a formal student council. We found, however, that nearlv all of the problems discussed were problems with which wc are familiar. The work of the conference was car­ ried on in panels, round tables, addresses by Christian educators, and advisers’ conferences. We were convinced that neither a stu­ dent council nor our own form of student government will ever effect a chanee for the better in any dormitory, unless students and faculty alfke are willing to work, with a positive attitude, for a common cause — harmony, understanding;，and co-operation.

Three things in particular were clarified for me in regard to student government: 1) Student-government is not self-government, but rather student-participaion in government； 2)Trust, and the privileges consequent on trust, are not acquired when student .bodies make demands. They are often gained when students and faculties are willing to discuss problems with open minds, and are willing to place innovations on a trial basis. In this way privileges may be withdrawn if students should prove incapable 22S

m

RED of maturely exercising the privileges. 3) We at Northwestern have more student government than we realize. We have the monitor system, we have an athletic board, we have four class presidents who may, and on occasion do, act as ambassadors to the Faculty.

We have a student-operated canteen. We police our own rooms and campus.. All these things, believe it or not, are forms of stu­ dent government, for better or for worse..

If and when we have proven ourselves mature in these areas, then, surely, the faculty will grant more privileges and tlie respon­ sibilities that always accompany such privileges. Students and faculty must assume a positive altitude toward solving our problems.

Next years conference? The benefits of this years conference will not become evident overnight. I feel, however, that we can benefit by these conferences and urge that a delegation be sent l\. BALGE again next year.

.U.

,HAT can tlv’s conference do for me? That was the question which prevailed several weeks ago when the decision was made to send delegates to the Lutheran Student Government Con­ ference. If the students who asked this question expect immedi­ ate revolutionary changes, they are going to be badly disappointed.

There are, however, several workable plans, which can be put into effect in the near future.

If any benefit is to be derived, the student body must first change its present attitude of sluggish apathy into a positive and constructive attitude. It is this problem of attitude which cause the most trouble at Northwestern today. Why is it that this atti­ tude of indifference is found at a Christian college such as North­ western? Why do students preparing for the ministry cheat? Those were two of the questions which were undertaken by panel cliscussions at the L. S. G. C. Two theories were advanced: 1) The laziness of the students caused these problems； 2) The class it­ self is at fault because the student is forced into cheating bv over­ work or the professor of that class fails to emphasize the goals of the class and its value in preparation for the ministry. As a solu­ tion for cheating in the classroom Valparaiso University has insti­ tuted the honor system, with which they have had much success.

It is worthwhile to attend the conference just to associate with the delegates and professors from the other schools and see what trends are evident in their areas. At this point we may also state that the faculty-student relationship is much better at the. other schools which attended than it is here at Northwestern.

Possibly the reason for this is the Student Council where the faculty and student body work hand in hand for their mutual benefit.

229

:“丨:

RED Never is there going to be any better relationship between faculty and students as long as those are present who say “Student Coun­ cil? Bah!” and look no further into the matter.

Another problem that our school, as well as the others, faces is that religion is taken for granted. On the panel, “Religious Life on the Campus”，various incentives toward promoting renewed interest in religious life were discussed. Many of the schools have very strict compulsion for the attendance of chapel as an incentive.

For example, St. Johns of Winfield assigns certain seat to each individual, so that an attendance check can easily be made. Valpo also makes chapel compulsory for freshmen. We ourselves have a mild form of compulsion. Since we apparently have no attendance problem, vve might assume our system works as well as any.

The student should always remember that he is going to chapel to contribute in the worship and not to be entertained. If we do see someone who needs admonishing concerning chapel attendance or for that matter cheating, let us remember that it is our Christian duty to talk to the wrongdoer and that apathy is not pleasant to God but onlv to men.

A prayer room was also mentioned as an incentive toward a Christ-centered life. The physical requirements of such a room are an altar, candles, a crucifix and kneeling benches. Your dele­ gate could not see the necessity of such a special roof for prayer and agreed with another delegate when he said, “you are not al­ ways ^oing to have a cross and two candles when you wish to pray.”

Private devotions were also suggested as a method of stimulation and in this your delegate concurred. Whether these devo­ tions are conducted by the monitor, which would strengthen both the respect for him and our system of student government, or by the individual is not of primary importance. What is important is that we should center our thoughts in Christ and grow in Him. For a multitude of reasons evening devotions in the chapel should be turned over to a senior once or twice a week. This would give the senior some experience and also remind him of his obligations as a monitor.

The keynote address of the conference was given by Dr. Hehwinkel, professor at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis and author of the book. The Flood. His topic discussed the conditions in the world today and how to meet them. Various different speeches were given throughout the conference on such subjects as Culture, and Trends in student government today. The deans and presi­ dents of those schools which have tried student government are verv much in favor of it. The authority is handed to the students as they become mature enough to take care of it. Student govem230

RED ment also can help the faculty to realize that their ideas are not always perfect and that students do think too, as Doctor Kramer of The Springfield Seminary put it. Student government helps to make students mature and the problems that they themselves must face give them the ability and opportunity to think for themselves.

The course at Northwestern is developed to give the students a wide interest.

Your delegate could not help feeling that even the principles on which “Northwestern College thinking” is based are unique in regard to other schools. In other schools the faculty and students alike look for their mistakes and if the students come up with a sensible idea, it is usually put at least in a trial basis. That too is what we ask for, that some of the ideas which have been shown as a result of the L. S. G. C., be tried here. If they are ffiven a fair and unbiased trial, we are sure that they will succeed here also as they have done at other schools.

If, however, both faculty and students alike refuse to realize fhat we have a problem, and wish to build a fence around tli^ir backyard to lv_de the mudholes therein, there isn’t much lior^ for the s;tuaHon. But as lomr as we keep our minds open and seek out our mistakes to exnose them there is always need of such a con­ ference as the L. S.G. C. Not only can we find solutJniis to our own problems at such a conference, but we might also help others solve theirs. Then too we should never be so narrow minded to sav “we know it allw and like the ostrich stick our heads in the sand to avoid facing： our problems. If such a conference would onlv be of this value, that it gave ns the opnortunitv to learn wliat others in the same situation are th^nkinff, it would even then be LYl-E ALBRECHT worthwhile. u

DJo^thwesie^in College of the lQth Century”

N FEBRUARY 5, 1953, The Forum was proud to present its third program of the year with John Tohannes serving as master of ceremonies. The very interesting and informative theme chosen for this evenings entertainment was “Northwestern Col­ lege of the Nineteenth Century.”

As the first tidbit for the audience, Reuel Schulz gave us the “Founding and Growth of the First 50 Years.” Included in his facts of interest were some very fascinating items, such as — a school day running from 7:30 A. M. to 6:00 P. M. with only one hour off for lunch, and gardening as recreation on Saturdays — the City of Watertown actually paying $2,000 for the privilege and 231

RED honor of having Northwestern College within its limits. The speech was well received by the audience.

In keeping with the theme, the emcee presented the NWC students’ love tor music at all times of the existence of the College by having Roger Fleming, accompanied by David Schmiel a few renditions on the saxoprhone. Mr. Fleming knew his pieces well and covered himself with glory.

Rather abruptly, after the learned title, “Sana Mens in Corpore Sano", John Chworowsky took us into the history of the pre­ sent Gymnasium and the athletic picture of NWC. One of the things which provided a humorous issue, at least to some, was his quote from a former President of the College in which two pur­ poses of an athletic program were to “inspire a sense of punctuality” and to build “strength of character”. Awe-inspiring was his close in which he read from a telegram sent at the time of the dedi­ cation of the Gymnasium by the President of the United States, Win. Howard Taft.

The Prep Glee Club, under the able direction of Norbert Meier, charmed the listening crowd with their harmonious glee.

The applause was an adequate reward for their fine work.

As an apt conclusion to an enjoyable evening, Bert Treiber told ol the Black and Reel and its history. He presented this de­ clamation in such an interesting way that everyone felt that he truly understands human nature and will continue to captivate an audience.. The Black and Red was founded for the Alumni in 1897. Very fascinating were the advertisements found in the first issues as alluded to by Mr.. Treiber. The rates for the Black and Red in those days were $ .25 per annum, payable in advance. The rates for board and room were much lower then also — $32.25 for tuition and incidentals and $89.50 for board and fuel.

The whole program covered the theme very well. The par­ ticipants received their due criticism in the meeting which fol­ lowed. It was especially noted that vast improvement had been shown in public speaking over the past year. Our thanks to John Johannes and the entertainers for a very profitable hour.

泌iog、am 32o. 4 - “27代 CWande}ier HE FORUM was privileged to present to the student body and faculty the fourth program, of the season on Thursday, February 12. For this program our master of ceremonies, Cleone Weigand, presented a very interesting and original play. “The Wanderer,” the story of a Russian fisherman, lost overboard off the 232

«•

HED coast of Latvia, who tells of his experience as he wandered through Latvia and Russia looking for his sweetheart, whom he had left behind a year before when he fled to Sweden. During his wander­ ings, the wanderer met certain characters, who then told their own individual stories.

The Wanderer was portrayed by Kieth Haag, Walter Lexvoid gave his own tale as a Russian shore patrolman. The part of a Latvian engineer was played by Ted Peterson.. Gale Peterson was the Ukranian farmer, and the only pro-communist was played

by Nathan Retzlaff. Bringing forth the ideas of a Chinese phil­ osopher was the task of Alvin Kienitz. Philip Huebner related the experiences of a Chinese Red soldier just back from Korea, while Allen Capek humorously portrayed a crazy prisoner from the salt mines of Siberia. Other lesser characters included George Enderle and Ted Jungkuntz as members of the Russian underground.

The musical section of the program was cleverly worked in as the radio program, ‘The Voice of America”. Two selections were played by the Pep Band, “Crusade for Freedom” and “The Wabash Blues". A great deal of credit and praise should be given to Cleone Weigand for the originality of his program and for the inter­ esting and unified presentation. The program was well attended and very much enjoyed. j. h. j.

Westendorf, J. A., ’45，was installed on February 15 at the Rosedale Gardens Mission near Detroit.

In beginning, let’s dedicate the following poem to the stargazers of the Soph class. It’s’ by Esther Tiffany and entitled: APPLIED ASTRONOMY He took me out to see the stars, That astronomic bore； He said there were two moons near Mars, While Jupiter had four.

I thought of course he’d whisper soon What fourfold bliss ’twould be To stroll beneath that fourfold moon On Jupiter with me.

And when he spoke of Saturn’s ring, I was convinced he’d say That was the very kind of thing To offer me some day.

But in a tangent o任 he went To double stars. Now that Was most suggestive, so content And quite absorbed I sat.

But no, he talked a dreary mess, Of which the onlyT fr^cti on That caught my fancy, I confess, Was “mutual attraction.”

I said I thought it very queer And stupid altogether For stars to keep^o^eryinear, And yet not come together.

235

RED At that he smiled, and turned his head； I thought he’d caught the notion.

He merely bowed good-night and said, Their safety lay in motion.

Now Sophs, be warned and don’t carry a good thing too far. o

It’s rumored that Carl Hillmer would like to have his name mentioned in this column, but seeing that we rigidly adhere to the policy “if you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all",'we hereby dedicate the following blank space to him.

Student A: Is it true that Minnesota got all the Norwegians and Missouri got all the mules?

Student B： Certainly, Missouri had first choice.

The Red Cross, making lls drive through Watertown, again enlisted the services of “Vampire” Freier to help fill its 360 pint Quota. Under his leadership some 50 students donated blood.

Even Bob Mueller gave a full pint this year. — Not bad compared to that feeble exhibition he put on last year — 8 drops in 45 min­ utes, 5 drops of one arm and 3 out of the other.

According to a late report it is questionable whether lunch will again be served to student donors next year. It seems the au­ thorities are beginning to wonder if every pint of student blood is worth four dozen sandwiches and a gallon of milk.

Lexvoid is becoming quite a Hebrew scholar of late. At l^ast he should be. They tell me he’s attending both Junior and Senior Hebrew classes.

No, that smell of incense in the chapel is not part of a cere­ mony to some heathen divinity. It was brought on by stern necpssitv when some mysterious odor caused attendance to drop by about 50^ . The "Sleuth" soon found the cause of the trouble, however. Source： basement under the chapel — culprits： rodents affected by poison. That reminds me, I was to run an ad this issue.

FOR SALE — 49 lbs. of rat poison, guaranteed to kill quick­ ly, effectively, and odorlessly..

RED In case you of the graduating classes are wondering why your pictures are costing so much, it”s because of the high repair bills caused by guys like Nitz. Barely had he started posing for his pictures, when the shutter on A1 Rippe’s camera groaned its last. That’s a fact! Ask him!

Student: Could I have permission to work downtown tonight?

We’re taking inventory.

Voice of Authority： Well— —I suppose— But don't do that every week.

After this last set of semester exams you’ve probably made up your mind to change schools.

ST. PROCOPIUS 76 NORTHWESTERN 70 The St. Procopius Cardinals, taking advantage of a lvd-hot third quarter, handed the Goslings their second conference defeat in three games. Hitting the hoop with better than average consistency, the Goslings gained a two-point half-time advantage.

The Cardinals caught fire at the outset of the third period, and cashed in on 75% of thsir shots to grab the lead. Neither team pumped with much success in the final period, and the Illinois assemblage nursed a six-point lead till the filial buzzer. Rich Win­ ter led the Goslings with 23, and Meyers and Hage contributed 19 apiece to the Saints* total.

MILW. EXTENSION 85 NORTIIWKSTERN SO The traveling jinx struck again, as Extension eked out an 85-80 vfctorv over Northwestern in Milwaukee s T* gymnasium.

The Badgers took an early lead, and held an 18 point advantage at one time in the second period. The Goslings came back to outscore the Badgers in the second half, and tied the score at 74, before Dobberstein and Berger followed Winter out of the game via the foul route. With three minutes to play, Extension took a five-point lead, and staved off all threats. The uncanny Kurkowski tallied 25 for the opposition.

RED the floor seven times in the first half, the Goslings were 11 points down at the intermission. Winter paced a third quarter rally, but the Northwestern attack fell off in the fiinale. Schulz staged a one-minute, one-man show, with four consecutive baskets in the closing minutes, but the breach was too wide to mend. Rothe and Korman shared honors with IS apiece.

Dan Habeck collected 14 points with a variety of shots, in a second period drive that stunned the oppo­ sition. The Goslings suffered from weak eyes in the third period, but preserved their lead, and were never in serious trouble.

Dobbersein sank two gift shots in the closing minute to force the game into overtime. Both teams garnered five in the extra period, and then, with seconds remaining, Dobberstein uncorked a Ions; shot that was still arching when the buzzer sounded. It swished, and that was that. Auroras Berg took scoring honors with 22, and Winter topped the Gosling scorers with 21.

A college students goal after graduation is to achieve a reasonable measure of financial success. He knows that many good things in life do not necessarily bear the dollar sign. Never­ theless, he desires to have financial success that spells the comforts of life.

The most powerful lever in gaining financial success is the ownership of capital. The difference between financial depe11dency and financial success is largely the difference in a person’s ability to accumulate capital from the very beginning of his career.

You can own capital — and be financially successful — if you have a plan, if you work the plan, and if the plan is in itself failure proof.

Life insurance with the Aid Association for Lutherans can be your first step toward financial success. It provides an immediate capital estate. It is a definite plan of accumulating capital. It is in itself failure proof.

Consult an A. A. L. field representativey or write to the Home Office for further information. !

PANEGYRIC The brief moment of glory waxes hot, tlien wanes into the eternity of the prosaic. There was a time, here at Northwestern, a time ()1 seething, restless activity, of honor and chivalry. Oh Lost! Lost! Lost to the barren wastes of South Dakota, to the land of snooker pool.

Yesterday 1 passed the billiard table. In a moment of recol­ lection, an instant of brief remembrance, all that had been great returned. There it stood, dusty, yet resplendent in its oaken anti­ quity, decorated with that now-faded dress of green, those three bright balls. And it was being used. No longer was it covered by three tiers of classics, tossed there in deference to a quick recess weed. The thing had come alive.

How long ago was it? Years is a sufficient answer. Degrading years of intervening time, years which stole from it its former selfrespect. A billiard table is a thing alive, a restive, resilient bit of matter born for action. There was a time — a brief period of splen­ dor. There were giants in those days. This was the time of morning billiards, recess and noon billiards, billiards afternoons, and stolen billiards during bucking period.

The vision returns: the confined light from the shaded lamp, the table with its complement of balls. On the charred edges lay two cigarettes, sending their twin palls up to the light. The string 244

of beads, the number ten bead missing from one side. On either extremity of the room the little knots of preps, staring in openmouthea amazement at the prowess displayed here. And tnere, leaning nonchalantly on a cue, the hero, the knight, the proud gladi­ ator, gazing benignly over his own little claque, or warning the other’s following to stand back. The musical clicking of ball on ball, the thump, click —click of a perfect shot. Ah, the grace of a perfect three-banker: the smooth thrust of cue through hrm left hand, guided to the high left or right corner of the cue ball for hop and English； the thud of ball to bank, the sudden burst of speed as the English grabs off the rubber； the solid smack ol a full strike on the third ball. This is art!

Yet it was not all rosy. There were also the despoilers of the game. Great was the number of rowdies who depended on force instead of English to carry the ball. And they were not the worst.

It hurts to think of the others, those masters of such, the ' back-spin kids”. These pool-hall perverts had developed remarkable ability to make one ball roll backward on contact with another，by the simple expedient of a low stroke. How the experts despised them!

And, most humiliating, they sometimes beat the artists! Broad is the path — — Yes, there were giants in those days. The table record of fif­ teen consecutive billiards still stands, established by one Ted. And yet they could be beaten. I beat one once. And heroin lies the remarkable fact： chagrin there was, but no excuses, no murmuring of “slop”. Billiards is ever a game of gentlemen. In regard to the latter, it is interesting to note that certain members of the faculty were occasionally seen during their morning free periods, wending their way by devious routes to the inner sanctum. I caught one once, I played when he came down. (Morning free periods were of course a lleged to be bucking periods for preps.) This par­ ticular prof, who happened to wield certain influence in the dorm, although a bit non-plussed, recovered his dignity long enough to order me to my room. As I left, a favored collegiate pro passed me, on his way to join the (I might as well say it) dean. But one suffers willingly for his art.

They are gone. They have departed into the world of reality, the little one-time world is no more. Oh Lost! Lost! Lost to labor, to the far comers of the states. Lost, to hazard wistful looks into the local billiard hall, wherever they may be, fearful lest a par­ ishioner see them. And, horrible fate, some of the poor wretches— pardon the profane four-letter word — Lost to the barren wastes of South Dakota, to the land of snooker pool. d. g. s.

RED BEHIND BARS The sun creeping through the bars of his prison gave the floor a zebra pattern. His cage closed him in on all four sides. He could not go where he wanted to, as you and I. He was prisoner.

Grabbing and pulling at his bars gave him some release in mind but actually got him no more than he had before — the space enclosed by tlie four sides of his prison. He didn’t want to be in prison. Locked up! What could he do? The thoughts of what he would do when he was out played around incessantly in his mind.

That was the only freedom he had — thinking of his freedom.

Outside, in the free air, the harbingers of spring were twit­ tering. Tlieir's was the freedom of tlie sky which was now clianginc from its winter dress of dull, leadish gray to a coquettish blue.

The green buds were popping out on the trees. Theirs was a glori­ ous life, sucking in the wonderful tasting smell of fresh, free air.

The grass was springine up, dressed in its brightest green. Soon would come the dandelions, splattering the green carpet of earth with splashes of yellow. All these embodied freedom. And then he thouelit of his own home: his mother doing the dishes or dusting; his father blended into the easy chair, with a pipe hanging from his lips, reading the paper. His mother and his father, like all people, could ?o their own wav> do what they pleased. They weren’t bound by the four walls of a house as he was bound by the four walls of his prison.

Hour after hour the same thoughts, the same bars, the same jealousy of the freedom of others. It seemed an etemitv had al­ ready passed for him in the days behind these bars. And then the silence of his reveries was broken bv the vo;ce of his mother speakinor gaily over the telephone to a friend, “I can hardlv wait until J'ttle Timmy will be old enough to let h'm stav out of his baby pen.

He alwavs makes such a fuss when lie’s in it!”

VERNAL LENT The snow with all its flattery Is gone； and here we sit in homely Natures lap.

The scene once called a Christmas card, Is now a gutted pathway to the barn.

Earth bares its bosom to. the winds Of March; her trees resemble berry briers.

The rains come on to sog the sod.

And green the greyish patches of the turf.

But wait! These saddened clays of murk 246

RED And mist are but the afterbirth of Spring, And after she has preened herself, Well think no more of this her lowly state.

The days of Lent resemble much The corresponding season of the year, Wherein we ponder Jesus, love, And view his passion, death, and burial. ,A sad, but soothing time, an atmosphere Of mournful waiting, knowing well There is an end in sight, preferring Minor to the major chord of resolution.

But as the Easter lily doffs Its early bloom to greet the rosy dawn, As surging protoplasm rises from The ground to wake up Nature’s wooden stems, As sunshine on our frigid globe Transposes it intft a vernal paradise, So Jesus Christ, our blood-stained hero, Rose in majesty that morn,, To quicken his own body, “Filling all in all ，” through means of bread and 'vine.

All things are ours! For God the Father Now is pleased with us through His victorious Son. PEDERSON

Sditorial ^Meivell! marks the end of the road— for winter and the old Black and Red staff. With April comes Spring and a new editorial staff — and everyone begins to feel a little more alive again. For the Seniors the issue is a farewell issue and a prelude to another bigger leave-taking come June. And farewells always preclude memories pleasant, and unpleasant. As the end of the college part of our education draws nearer, there is a tendency to recall and to evaluate and to ask, “Was it worthwhile in itself and for me?”

Almost all of the Seniors can remember a lot of personal criti­ cism and opposition to the “antiquated, impractical, unrealistic” curriculum at Northwestern. Perhaps some are still convinced this is true. And yet there are more and more comments recognizing a definite purpose and usefulness in such a course of study but de­ ploring the fact that not more advantage was taken of it. It isn’t just morning-after repentance either. But everyone as he grows older gradually matures more and more and grows in perspective and ability to evaluate and appreciate what is basically good and 248

I

RED necessary. To be sure, geometry and Latin conjugations may not be in themselves vital for your profession, but clear,analytical, indi­ vidual, historical thinking is. And so, many subjects are rather time-tested means to a much more vital end. Students don’t much care to see or understand such long-range objectives, and they don’t much trust maturity and experience either. And the less a person knows about a thing, ,the louder he shouts — like a boy fumbling alone in the dark and trying to screw up his courage.

But teachers and professors are guides and shepherds, not captors. They are to lead the growing minds into the new and varied channels, to encourage the inquisitiveness and the indepen­ dence of each maturing mind. There are a lot of ideal ways this could be done, no doubt. But somehow personalities or lack of time or shortage of initiative foil their being practicable. There is, for example, a very definite and general dislike among the students for any indicated inclination toward studying or progressing be­ yond the required minimum — best illustrated by the contemptuous connotation of that epithet “grease!” And yet there is a remarkable amount of completely unrequired reading and studying clone by various students — all undercover and well concealed, of course.

But there is always room for re-evaluation, as has been sug­ gested, both for the sake of improvement and for an appreciation of what Northwestern has. Basically, I myself am convinced, the course here is good and has been proved good for the ends toward which it strives — a broadening of the mind and the developing of character, not primarily a specialization in theology, for that is the function of the seminary. Perhaps, for example, there is room for improvement in stressing the goals and end of a specific course for the puzzled student — exasperating as the process may be to the professor. And no one will claim absolute perfection for the curriculum itself either. Thus, I personally think that the purpose of the German course should be redefined — is it chiefly to teach German literature, as the catalogue states, and assume an adequate knowledge-of the language, or is it to teach the totally unacquainted student how to speak and preach and read German as he will some day be expected to use it? That the two ends can be accomplished adequately by identical means seems to me impossible under present conditions.

Yes, it is necessary and wholesome to re-examine and re-consider — but not rashly or with pre-detennined conclusions. Some day it will be up to the present students to defend or alter their schools for their children. That there will be and are a host of attackers, extreme and moderate, is to be expected, for a liberal 249

RED arts education often does not agree with American ideas of pragma­ tism and the useful. But let the defense be one of conviction and farsightedness!

And so the old staff yields to the new. I, for my part, want to thank not only the retiring members and Prof. Kowalke, but also many students for their splendid co-operation during the last year.

Pleading appeals for good material were never required — your cooperation prevented the necessity. To the new staff we wish the same good luck and expect from them, as from the new spring, fresh life.

<Jl ^Reply EDITORIAL in the January issue of the Black and Red, “Could We Improve?” has accomplished all that I had hoped for it. I had one purpose in mind. I wanted everyone of you readers to think about this question: “Should our curriculum be reexamined and re-evaluated?” And I suggested that you all think about it with this consideration in mind: “Northwestern College must spare no effort to fulfill its purpose. She must give her students the very best possible preparatory training for the ministry.”

Prof. Jungkuntz in his letter in the February issue states that “it is a particularly encouraging sign that your contributor pleads for a re-examination and re-evaluation of the school’s curriculum.”

And if you read on a little further, he says, “A straightforward plea for re-examination I can indeed understand and heartily support.”

I have heard the same kind of words from many students and from faculty members. 1 think that manyr of yo u pastors would also support such a re-examination. I am ve ry haj:ppy that so many of you responded to my suggestion. My purpose has been accomplised.

Now for action. Such a re-examination is desirable and in order. But it must proceed along sound and logical lines of argu­ mentation. We must bs constructive and offer constructive pro­ grams. We must criticize sine ira ac studio. The argument “should 250

be carried on with a view toward gaining a clearer understanding of the real nature of a liberal arts education, of the true relation­ ship of the classics to such an education, and of the distinctive character and purpose which in a Christian school the reigning in­ fluence of the Gospel gives not only to classical studies, but to the entire education program.” With Prof. Jungkuntz I look for-ward to hearing about such constructive re-examinations of the whole curriculum. I also hope to do my share of cntributing to that cause. I do of course recognize that you members of the fac­ ulty have the first responsibility here. We students do not always realize the why and wherefore of all our courses —why we s tiidy vocable lists as we do丨，why we take harm ony (courses, why e do not have a more extensive speech course, why we have six years of Latin. Sometimes in fact we get the idea that we are being led blindfolded instead of being guided with open eyes, We would appreciate having you point out to us the purposeful di­ rection ot our studies and the goal toward which we arc heading in each particular branch of study.

This article could very well end right here. I am satisfied with the results of my previous editorial. But I would like to add a bit in defense and explanation of that editorial. I want to clear up some of the points which Prof. Jungkuntz has criticized, if I can.

First I want to point out to you that I was not examing our curriculum, but I was proposing that it be re-examined. Many of the questions 1 asked you were not to be answered yes or no, but they were merely to set you thinking .

The first ppint Prof. Jungkuntz makes is that it was not Melanchton who is primarily responsible for the present course of studies which we have. I admit that Luther was the reviser of the curriculum at the University of Wittenberg. But this was a revision of the theological curriculum. (This revision occurred in 1518.

There were several curriculum reforms at Wittenberg. Both in the reform of 1523, Schwiebert, Luther and His Times, p. 299, and 1533, Schwiebert, p. 608, Melanchthon played very prominent roles.)

We are interested in the preparatory schools. Our course is modeled after the German 一， Eymnasium. You will \ find if you read histories on education that Melanchthon is generally recognized as the founder of the gymnasium course of studies which we follow today.

Luther turned the educational reorganization job over to Melanchthon because he realized that Melanchthon was cut out for that task. Therefore I believe that I can defend my statement: “Melanch­ thon came to the conclusion that a humanistic course etc.” (For proof of this see Concctrdia Cijclpedia, p. 451； Schwiebert, op.cit., pp. 296-300； 608-612； 676-682； The History of Education, by Ell251

RED wood P. Cubberly, pp. 312-317； Pelikan, From Luther to Kierke­ gaard, p. 35： “Since Luther had left the work of arranging theologi­ cal education to Melanchthon, this type of curriculum (humanistic) was adopted whenever the Reformation took over in a territo ry. p. 50： “by that time (1600) the educational theories of human ism had taken almost complete control of the schools in the lands controlled by the Lutheran Reformation. We have seen how those educational theories as propounded by Melanchthon became part of the preparation ot the Lutheran clergy.”） I have found that there are many different meanings and uses of the stem word “humanism.” Prof, jungkuntz is no doubt correct as to the root meaning of the word. But I hope he did not think that I used the word in its root meaning when I spoke of our curriculum here. The Dictionary of Education gives as a second mean­ ing of the word “humanisrrT: “A philosophy of education common to the 14th, 15th, and 16th century, stressing the study of Roman and Greek language, literature and civilization, and opposed to medieval scholasticism, though not necessarily to Christian religion and metaphysics.” Schwiebert entitles chapter nine of his book, Luther and 11 is Times, “Triumph of Biblical Humanism in the University of Wittenberg.” As a clincher I offer you this statement of Dr. Hocnnann in his History of Northwestern College. You can read on page 29 what he says about NWC. “It is evident that the German *gyinnasium，of humanistic type had served as model for this American college.” Therefore Prof. Jungkuntz’s criticism that the label “hunianism” is “thoroughly unfair and misleading” seems to me to be unwarranted.

Next I am criticized for this statement: This steady diet has produced very splendid and consecrated workers for Christ.”

Judging men by human standards I must still contend that this is true. Our Lutheran pastors who have been fed this classical, hu­ manistic diet have fulfilled the qualifications of a Christian pas­ tor which God has set down in His Holy Word. Certainly it is the working of the Holy Ghost through human beings, through human teaching, that has prduced these workers in His Kingdom.

But the very existence of a “formal curriculum” at NWC shows that our pastors are not trained exclusively by preaching the Gospel to them. The preaching of the Gospel to men produces believing Christians, but it does not thereby qualify a man for the Christian ministry. It does produce the one great qualification of a minister though, that he be a faithful Christian.

You find the qualifications of a Christian pastor in the Table of Duties. Prof. Hardt worked through this section addressed to 252

0

.v

RED bishops, pastors, and preachers very excellently in the Concordia Theological Monthly (Nov. ’52). I referred to it in my previous editorial. It is called “The Pastor after the Heart of God.>， Hu­ manly speaking, if a pastor does meet these qualifications which God has set down, we may call him a “successful” or “qualified” pastor. Of course before God no pastor or theologian can claim any “success”. His very strength is weakness. It is certainly God that gives every blessing, and it is God who makes a man a successful” pastor” according to human standards. If you think of it in this way, I do believe that you will find many qualified pastors who have not had a classical training. None of the Springfield graduates have had a classical training. Many pastors in other denominations have not had a classical trilling. But this does not stop them from being qualified pastors. If otherwise they are taught the Word of God in its truth and purity, they may be quali­ fied pastors, as the Springfield graduates are. But don't get me wrong. Even though it is true that you do not need classical education to be a qualified pastor, I certainly do not want to do away with the classics here. I do think though that we should cut down on them. There is a middle ground, a moderation. Should we revise our curriculum? Through our re-examination we should seek to discover if this is a good policy.

The point I was trying to make with my reference to a Greek professorship was this： When we graduate from NWC we are further on the road to becoming Greek professors because of our pre­ vious training than toward becoming pastors. Perhaps this is as it should be. I was merely suggesting to you that here too the curriculum be re-examined. I must agree with Prof. Jungkuntz 100% and even 105% if that were possible, that the full classical course here plus three years at the Sem does not qualify a man to become a Greek professor. He needs additional preparation if his teaching is to have depth and breadth.

I certainly do not question the faith of any member of the faculty of Northwestern College. If I have given offense to any­ one of you because of my statement ‘*bowing clown to the idol of the ancient classics,” I ask for your forgiveness, and I hope you will tell me about it so that I can assure you that I did not mean what I seemed to say. It was a rash statement on my part, and I did not think of the consequences. But (always that but, but, but)— I do wonder at times if you professors, without realizing it, tend to give a little too much honor to the ancients, just as we students, without realizing it, are guilty sometimes of overemphasizing something which we really like to do.

253

RED In his next two paragraphs Prof. Jungkuntz evidently mis­ understood me. I was not posing this “either-or” 一 either get rid of the classics or have speech courses. If you will read the previous sentence in my article you will find this was my antithesis: Instead of being guilty of overemphasizing the classics (if we are — our re-examination should determine this), wouldn’t it be a little better to spend time on speech and composition courses. In order to add adequate speech and composition curses, we will have to eliminate something. Our curriculum is overloaded the way it is.

The same misunderstanding is found in the next paragraph.

I ask this question： “Should NWC be regarded as the upper di­ vision of a liberal arts program or a ministerial preparatory train­ ing school?” You will answer a ministerial preparatory training school. If you make it serve as the other also, well and good. But when you consider changes to be made in the curriculum, you should have no regard for the human standards of a secular uni­ versity. You must consider only what best will serve God and benefit Ill's Kingdom. Here we must train preachers, not B. A.’s and M. A.’s? Those things are secondary, although useful. But put the Kingdom of God first.

I endec! my editorial with these words, “This is no light mat­ ter. It mav mean an extra worker in the Kingdom of God. It may mean one more soul for heaven.” I repeat this same sentiment with the following explanation. Too many boys fail at Northwestern be­ cause they can’t pass our tough language courses. (Our standards here are the highest o fany preparatory school in the Synodical Conference.) Still they may have the aualifications to become ?ood pastors. (We noted before that lack of a classical training does not prevent a person from becoming a qualified pastor.) But they simply can’t get languages. If only we could arrange our curriculum to help this kind of bov, and yet not slow down more •gifted students, we would have additional workers for. the Kingdom of God. Through a re-examination of the curriculum we may per­ haps find some way to hold onto these few extra ones. They may become qualified ministers. A minister will preach the Gospel.

And the preaching of the Word will yield results, according to Christ’s own promise. Therefore extra workers mean extra souls.

(It is my personal opinion that not only will some changes in the curriculum help more boys to become ministers, it will also help those who do go through NWC do their work with greater zeal and enthusiasm. I think that they will be able to see their ultimate goal of becoming ministers of the Word more clearly. But I will spsak of this next month.)

I want to repeat for emphasis one thing I said before. I was 254

RED not re-examing our curriculum in the editorial “Could We Improve?” I was proposing that it be re-examined. I really appreci­ ated the interest that Prof. Jungkuntz took in my editorial. I wish that all of you who are interested would do as he did and have your say, for or against. Next month 1 will try to show you where I think our curriculum could be improved and how we could do it.

V. PRANGE

cJLnothe^ JCeite^ St. Louis, Missouri March 12, 1953 The Black and Red John Habeck, Editor I should like to comment that I found the last issue of the Black and Red (February) unusually enjoyable (the frustrated in­ tellectual, the very accurate and appreciative report on L. S.G. C.， the Forum and Northwestern^ past), but I should like also to speak to two matters in that issue: the question of a classical curriculum and the question of the prayer chapel (mentioned briefly in the report on the Lutheran Student Government Conference).

Regarding the first question, I believe a partial defense of the author of the previous article (“Could We Improve?”） is in order on at least one charge. Writes Prof. Jungkuntz in answer to that at times. . . ’bowing article： To suggest that such (i.e.，“if only ' down to the idol of the ancient classicsr) is the case at North­ western is a matter that ought properly to be investigated accord­ ing to Matthew 18. On the contrary, it should be said that that is the only honest description that could at any time be given of any faculty worthy of the name. For to suggest, as Professor Jungkuntz does, that such is not the case at Northwestern seems to me to be saying that the faculty has utterly no appreciation of what it teaches (hmmmm!) or to be predicating so great a degree of sanctification that teachers of the classics are no longer the simul justi et peccatores that all other Christians are but onlv justi — an accurate eschatological thought but idolatry otherwise. In the same article, toward the end, I find an indication that peccator may still be there： “Like Beauty, (the classical course) is its own excuse for being** (not existence but being). I find myself unable to substantiate such a view either in the Old Testament or in the New. God seems to be H,-s own excuse for being; but I cannot find anything else that is its own excuse for existence, much less being. (SStrictly speaking, I suppose, one talks of the being of God and the existence of things, not of the existence of God and 255

RED the being of things.) Psalm vm, for instance, leaves a remark­ ably different impression.

Secondly, to suggest that the fact of the professors* occasional lap se into idolatry is a cause for the personal admonition, etc., of Maatthew 18 is a kind of detached exegesis that would only with much difficulty stand under close scrutiny. Professors’ idolatry (much as they might like to believe otherwise) is nothing extra­ ordinary； idolatry is common to all men as long as they’re still peccatores. Matthew 18 does not refer to that type of erring. While one might undertake to investigate professors on the basis of Mat­ thew 18, one could not, in this case, call that “properly” investi­ gating. (Matthew 18 can be and has already been used as a convenient, evasive method of squelching unpleasant criticism. To il­ lustrate： Should it be that a student is personally offended — the requisite of the situation in Matthew 18 — by one of his instructors； should it be also that the character of the professor is such (and there are those) that any rapprochement on the part of a “miserable student" is out of the question； should the student, further, be suf­ ficiently disturbed that he goes to his spiritual adviser, the dean： his dean can easily close the subject permanently by saying： ‘^You know Matthew 18. . himself totally unmindful of his own responsibility to seek to eauip the particular student with the means, spiritually and emotionally, to do that admonishing, since such ad­ monishing is not a donum naturale in any sense of the word but a “skill” that must be developed by competent advisers, be they deans, or parents, or teachers, or fellow-Christians (not to imply that deans, etc., are not fellow-Christians!)

On the second auestion, that of the use of a prayer chapel, I believe another defense is in order. The function of such a chapel is, first of all, simply to provide a room apart from the regular stream of activities, a room which is auiet and undisturbed. The altar, candles, cross, and (m our case) triptych are not “physical requirements.” They are aids to praver and worship in much the same wav that an automobile fs an aid to travelinp" (including： both aspects of assistance and of potential danger). Nowhere is there the statement or implication that the chapel roof is a necessary covering for a praving Christian. This is not to denv that the danger mav exist of a students using the praver chapel so exclu­ sively that he reaches the point where it is virtually impossible for him to prav without it. (We recall the instance of the devout Ro­ man Catholic in Minensota whose first renuest after an automobile accident was for his rosarv.) But to let that danger be considered very seriously in Synodical Conference Lutheranism is, frankly, 256

RED rather ridiculous： it’s as real as warning residents in the slums of the dangers of riches or three-year-olds of the evil of adultery or Northwestern College of the dangers of John Dewey’s philosophy of education. The danger is latent, but, at least on our campus, only that.

If a personal testimony for the prayer chapel is needed, I can make it. I do not say that I can and do pray only in the prayer chapel; I do say that it is less distracting to pray there evenings than in my room where at any moment I may hear my neighbordown-the-hall descending stairs in his characteristic fashion (bone by bone: pour a box of childrens toys down a flight of steps and you’ll get the idea) or someone else turning on his radio with an initial blare or a door slamming. The chapel forms a habit of concentration, one might say. As an analogy, I refer to Dr. Wiggams (if you’ll pardoir the source) suggestion that in order to in­ crease efficiency it is helpful to set aside a desk at which you do only your studying (no looking at pictures, letter-writing, or such).

Similarly, reserving a room as a prayer room can help to iincrease …:… the degree of concentration in prayer.

Secondly, in answer to the obiection raised at the L. S. G. C.； namely that it is possible to be Pharisaical about use of a prayer chapel (praying for public show), it can bs said that it is equally possible to be Pharisaical without the prayer chapel (“I don’t make public show of my prayer as that fellow does”）. The h\pocrisy of the Pharisee in the temple was not where he stood but what was in h!s heart； the righteousness of the publican was not where he stood but what was in his heart. It is iust as easv to be a pharisaic publican (**1 thank Thee, God, that I am not like that pharisee.

Soli Deo gloria!”） as it is to be a Pharisee.

The danger of formalism was also mentioned. But to argue that since the association of the Temple with vvorshin in the minds of the Tews led to fomial^sm (the historic truth of that assertion might well be questioned) all such centering of worship must be avoided: to argue thus seems to me h'ke areuintj that since narts of Scripture (off hand I think of Psalm 319:48; Psalm 139:19ff) leave the wav open for misuse, we should therefore not use the Scriptures or at least not Psalms 119:48 and 139:19.

I suppose other objections could be thought of： but I think the above will indicate (and, I hope, convince) that there is a valid place for a nraver chapel on a Lutheran cammu I am not trying to nersuade Northwestern to establish one： I am trying only to defend the existence of one on our campus — since (unlike Beauty!). it is not its own excuse for existence.

RED D2ew cJUditio ns LONG expected curtain lor the stage in the gym has finally been installed. This maroon-velvet curtain together with the canvas protective curtain is a gift of the Northwestern Alumni Society. Both flameproof curtains were purchased from the Midwest Scenic Company of Milwaukee. The wooden tracks from which these curtains hang are installed solely by this company and are more durable ancl serviceable than the usual wheel and steel track combination. The protective curtain has chains in the bottom as well as in the middle seam to ward off any balls which might strike the curtain during athletic performances in the gym. The absence of a valance before the main curtain gives an illusion of height. The deep curtain before the first row of lights acts as a valance, when the curtain is open, and also as a cover for the lights.

Another change in our buildings has taken place in the dormitory. The stair wells have been isolated on all the floors, except the first, from the rest of the floor by fire doors. The hallways leading into the old dorm have been blocked off by partitions and ordinary swinging fire doors. The two wings of the new dorm have been equipped with rolling steel fire doors. These rolling doors operate on a spring principle similar to that of a window shade.

They are held up by a chain with a fusible link which permits the door to unroll to the floor if there should be a fire in that section of the building. These fire doors would isolate any fire to the part of the floor where the fire began and thus protect the remainder of the building. t. c. H.

HE AUDIENCE in the gym 911 February 2(3 was again entertained by a very enlightening and interesting Forum pro­ gram. A presentation of a few of the many strange and remarkable creation stories was the intention of the master of ceremonies, Charles Boeder. The varied program he arranged successfully carried out this aim.

After the introduction, Kenneth Lenz gave a short speech 011 Greek and Roman mythology. His own humorous quips made the topic additionally entertaining. “The Norse Myth”，a reading

by Alvin Werre, gave us some of the Scandinavian ideas on the subject. Then followed what might be called the feature of the evening, an explanation by Rolfe Westendorf ancl a choral recitation of the Apache myth. Special recognition was given to Pas258

it'

RED tor F. Upleger, from whom they obtained much of their informa­ tion. His own very literal translation of the Apache myth was recited by a chorus consisting of R. Balge, J. Berger, J. Meyer, K. Fuhlbrigge, A. Werre, R. Schulz and D. Zietlow. After this David Kuske recited the poem “Evolution” by Langdon Smith. It gave a very novel and somewhat humorous representation of the theory of evolution. Amid Koelpin then interested us with a speech n *The Creation”，an oratorio by Joseph Haydn. He showed especi­ ally the effects it had on world history. When he had us desiring to hear the powerful work, we were somewhat satisfied by “The Heavens are Telling”，a selection on the piano from the oratorio.

It was very well done by the pianist, David Schmiel.

Our thanks again to Charles Boeder for having so admirably represented the Forum as emcee of its fifth program. C. WEIGAND

With all the time and effort they’re putting in on those fire doors. one would almost get the idea this place was an institu­ tion for pymmaniacs. As much trouble as they had with that door on second door, its a wonder they didn't just jump onto their gal­ lant sawhorse “Trigger”，gallop off, and let the whole mess lie.

Harmon Krause has one addition to the fire chiefs list of rules and reminders. He advocates all N. W. C. students to wear asbes­ tos pajamas for added protection. It just so happens that he is the local dealer for the Hot-Seat Asbestos Co., so he’s prepared to take your orders. Tlr’s durable product is guaranteed not to scratch, warp, or crack, comes in two sizes, too large and too small, and retails for only S14.95 — student rate $15.00. All interested see him between 12:30 and 1:00 at which time he usually demon­ strates the deluxe models.

Our two goliaths, Beckmann and Palenske, seem to be an ob­ ject of suspicion downtown. Maybe the night watchman is afraid that the long arm of the law won’t be able to reach up to their combined height of 13 feet.

Are you tired of being a 97 pound weakling? Do you want to be a man instead of a mouse? Well, then look at Hinz and think of what that Charles Atlas book has done for him. Says Gerry, “I used to be a puny, underweight, with no appetite and no zest for living, but look at me now. I’m the life of the party and puvs who used to be twice mv size are now playing second fiddle.

Charles Atlas can help YOU as he’s helped so many thousands of others.”

RED Special Release from the dormitory high command: NOTICE, NOTICE： Please refrain from throwing cigarette butts on the cam­ pus. Anyone doing so will cause the marbles tournament to be dropped!

Some of the Seniors had a few embarassing moments in German class the other day. Giving their German speeches was bad enough in itself, but having three natives from Germany sitting in on the class and listening can bs a bit disconcerting- “Icli bin ein schlechtes Deutsclimann” seems to have been the general theme of the oratory.

The weather prophet, Tom Henning, has finally stuck his neck out and announced that spring is really here. lie bases his condus'on on the fact that he saw a robin out of one the classroom windows the other day. It’s no wonder he saw the first robin, he’s been looking for signs of spring ever since Valentine .s Day. Allow me to introduce your future C. & C. columnist, none other than “Stretch” Beckmann. He was unanimously chosen on the first ballot because everyone agreed he was really funny — funny looking， that is. To him I will a whole dormitory full of screwballss to write about, my key to the Black and Reel room, the steel helmet that so faithfully protected me from flying bricks and stones, 1 large red handkerchief to wipe the rotten tomatoes from his face, 1 persecution complex, slightly used, and 1 copy of Thomas Wolfe’s words to live by, “This must be good writing because it seems so very dull”.

Retiring from the Black and Redfs helm is that eagle-eyed proof reader; John Habeck. He may not impress you as a pillar of robustness, but lie’s already lived through three Black and Red banquets, which is more than anyone else around here can say.

From now on ths editor’s duties will fall upon Kenny Strack, so we wish him the best of luck. When this news got to his home it made the headlines in the Germantown Daily Rag. At any rate, while driving through Germantown the other day there was a news-boy on the comer hollering, “Extra, Extra, Read all about it!

LOCAL YOKEL MAKES GOOD!” This year s contributing editors, Tom Henning, and Paul Eckert will be succeeded by Diclf Balge (pronounced Bolj) and “Jacques” Pankow. We might as well face it； that Pankow would make a much better trapper than conrtibuting editor. Why, just 263

RED last week he caught six mice with nothing more for bait than package of Walnettos.

Westendorf is handling the Alumni news and will take over where the staffs mystery man, George Tiefel, left off. How he cculcl claim to be a “paragon of efficiency” and in the same breath tell you it took him all night to gather those few scraps of alumni news no one ever will know. No doubt his way of doing it was w：th a great exuberance.

The business managership is Merlin Rehm’s baby. My ad­ vice to vou is； vote in the cheap-money crowd. Maybe that way the Black and Red will stay in the black.

“Frank Merriwell” Albrecht, that potential 32 letter athlete who prefers to catch TB in the library, is taking the sports, while two new members of the staff, Alvin Werre and Cleone Weigand arc the ad men.

IIa\ e vou ever wondered how many holes there are in those fiber-board sauares that make up the ceiling in Professor Schumann s room? Neither have I, but I can refer you to someone who has. After months of “digging”，he’s come up with the answer — 300,762. Ah, there's the iov of a college education.

FREDDIE! are you spitMother: Freddie.............. ting into the fish bowl?

Freddie： No, but Tm getting pretty close.

With a hearty Thank You to those of you who still read the column I’ll make way for your new columnist.

Well, from now on she’s all yours, Stretch. If .you’ve read the last ten issues you ought to know what not to do. Outside of that there isn’t much to say except the cheery words my predecessor gave me, “Buck up, the first ten are the worst”.

NORTHWESTERN 90

A fast-moving Procopius quintet outmanenvered a Gosling man-to-man defense to win an overtime contest on the Northwestern court. The Goslings held a slight edge at half-time but were over­ taken early in the third period, and were forced to scramble for the 76-76 tie that sent the game into extra minutes, In the overtime period, the two squads matched point for point ’til 84. Then, a free toss and Meyer’s layup gave the Cardinals a throe-point advantage which they nursed until the final buzzer. Tlie speedy and deceptive Meyers bagged 35 points for the Saints, Winter and Rothe scored 27 and 26 points respectively.

WISCONSIN TECH 77 NORTHWESTERN 78 A lbird quarter rally proved decisive as the Goslings wreaked vengeance on the Miners for an earlier defeat. Winter and Habeck, taking sliarp passes from Pieper, combined for 21 of the 23 points in the quarter. The final stanza produced a dog-fight finish. With Northwestern trailing, 77-76, Winter sank a pair of free throws to give the Goslings a 78-77 lead. Then, with seconds to play, a Tech man was fouled but missed both attempts at the charity line, That wns the ball game. Habeck and Winter led the way with 28 and 27.

A college students goal after graduation is to achieve a reason­ able measure of financial success. He knows that many good tilings in life do not necessarily bear the dollar sign. Never­ theless, he desires to have financial success that spells the com­ forts of life.

The most powerful lever in gaining financial success is the ownership of capital. The difference between financial dependency and financial success is largely the difference in a person’s ability to accumulate capital from the very beginning of his career.

You can own capital —and be financially successful — if you have a plan, if you work the plan, and if the plan is in itself failure proof.

Life insurance with the Aid Association for Lutherans can be vour first step toward financial success. It provides an 1mmediate capital estate. It is a definite plan of accumulating capital. It is in itself failure proof.

Consult an A. A. L. field representative, or write to the Home Office for further information.
