first hit by Elvis? That was in 1957, By 1958 Elvis had already sold twenty mil­ lion records. Why did he sell so many?

Was his music in his earlier years such great art? I feel the big reason for his suc­ cess was because his music was something new and original at that time. It was some­ thing different, something that the new generation was demanding, a change.

When we examine the music of today, we might ask that same question, “Is popular music selling so well because it’s a great art?” Since the Elvis era (the early years, that is), popular music has diversified greatly into the following: bubble gum music, folk-rock, country-rock, jazz-rock, the controversial acid-rock, and about any other rock you can imagine. All of these, with the exception of bubble gum, might be classified as progressive rock.

Does the new rock have classical ten­ dencies? Are rock musicians seeing that the former Elvis era records were vo short­ lived? Do they want something more last­ ing? I’m of the opinion that they do. First of all, I will demonstrate that the innova­ tors of the new styles are highly educated, both in music, and in other fields. A jazzrock group called Blood, Sweat, and Tears has the following background: Dick Halligan and Chuck Winfield have master's de­ grees in music; Louis Soloff has a bache­ lor’s degree in music. Bobby Colomby, one of the top jazz drummers, has a master’s degree in psychology. Fred Lipsius attend­ ed High School of Music and Art for four years and the Berklee School of Music in Boston for a year. He left after a year. In explanation for his early departure he said, “I’d been studying since I was nine, and they were teaching me things I already knew.” Another group called Chicago (formerly Chicago Transit Authority) has these impressive qualifications: Dan Seraphine studied percussion at DePaul Univer­ sity and is an ex-member of Maynard Fer2

poem written by Paul Simon with piano accompaniment, which was not used ex­ tensively in rock music. A rock group call­ ed The Who put out the first rock-opera, entitled, “Tommy”. Pete Townshend, the writer, claims, “I can no longer sit down with a straight face and write things like that, although I was quite serious about them at the time.” He was referring to the mixed-up song he wrote a few years ago, “Magic Bus”. Pete spent two years in writ­ ing “Tommy”. It may be somewhat true, as some of the reviewers say, that the mus­ ic in the opera is just a song-cycle, but it is a start toward making a classic out of a popular number. Blood, Sweat, and Tears admit that they take from the Baroque per­ iod, and a group from Detroit, Scott Rich­ ard Case, borrowed from the Norwegian Nationalist, Grieg, and the French compo­ ser Ravel. He, Scott Richard, combined Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King” and Ravel’s “Bolero” into one song for elec­ tric guitars and drums. Even in instrumen­ tation (cf. Rotary Connection’s “Rapid Transit”), some rock groups have progres­ sed to near-classical perfection.

It is maybe true that a fair amount of rock musicians aren’t educated in the field of music the way they should be, but I feel that the ones who are now educated have started a “trend”. Competition is demand­ ing the best from rock musicians and there­ by is improving the quality of rock. All of the rock sounds today are not necessarily the guitar-smashing music they used to be, but rather they are turning toward a lasting art.

guson and Woody Herman’s bands. He’s been playing for eleven years. Robert Lamm studied piano and composition at Roosevelt University. Walt Perry earned a degree from DePaul in orchestral clarinet; he also studied with woodwind players in the Chicago Symphony. Lee Loughnane studied at DePaul two years, then at the Chicago Conservatory College for two years. Jim Pankow studied at DePaul and Quincy College and played with the Bobby Christians Orchestra, Ted Weem’s Orches­ tra, and Bill Russo’s Chicago Jazz Ensem­ ble, John Locke, a member of Spirit, played with the New World Jazz Company in Topanga Canyon before he came to their group. To say these young men are unedu­ cated and ignorant of the value of classi­ cal music would be quite unfair.

Modern music is tending toward the classical. Top rock musicians are definite­ ly striving for a lasting record. Not all of them go for the top hit of the week any more, but for something that will be a clas­ sic. I think they are searching into classi­ cal music to set what makes the classics “classic”. Perhaps it is insignificant, but the songs are nlonger than before. For example, “In-.A :!da-Da-Vida” by the Iron Butterfly last \ .nteen minutes. Rock musicians h; . opted some classical forms.

REVIEWS

Of Mice and Men

A/" ost of Leonard Wibberley’s writing cannot be called significant. His complete works, or even his best works, cannot be found in most libraries. Yet as a humorist, superlatively enjoyable satirist, and Christian fictionalist, he has few peers. We can discuss his important fiction in three sections: the novel A Feast of Freedom, the four Mouse books, and the Christian novel The Centurion.

A Feast of Freedom is one of the most enjoyable, effective, perfectly executed

pieces of light satire in literature. The only other satirist I know of who is famous for pulling his punches, for writing in a com­ parably precise and tripping style, is Washington Irving, who wrote, for instance, On the Making of Books. Mad magazine’s satire, and Jonathan Swift’s compare to it as the Gestapo’s interrogation practices compare in delicacy to a girl’s coquettish ques­ tions about her birthday surprise. Most satirists devastate their objects with hammering criticisms and acid invective. Few sat3

irists use Wibberley’s technique of reveal­ ing gradually a situation worthy of satirization, slowly inflating the bubble of man’s folly before our eyes, popping it, and then hastily dropping the subject and scurrying away as though embarrassed. Subtlety.

Pomposity needs no ridicule when mere exposure is so devastating; what more need be said of a stuffed shirt than that he is “His Excellency Sir Murchison Boyd, K.C. C.G., M.C., C.B.E., Her Brittanic Majesty’s Governor of the combined Crown colony of Omo Lau and Omo Levi”? And once this is said. Sir Murchison is satirized no further. Subtlety. The twentieth century United Nation’s brand of anti-colonialism is gently mocked: “A plebiscite was held and the Polynesians, from neighboring is­ lands, flocked to Omo Lau and, to avenge ancient wrongs, voted that Omo Lau and Omo Levi be free.” Do-gooders are told with an indulgent snort that “his only vice was his earnest desire to benefit mankind.”

The book is easy to read. But what hap­ pened to the Vice President? Why is Omo Lau refused foreign aid? Why did Omo Le­ vi secede? Who has eaten whom * A Feast of Freedom will answer these questions and the answers will crack yon up. Of course, I could tell you here who a vhom, or you could mold on down to the ; n and ask me, but that wouldn’t be fun:1.' Read the book. It’s short and more fu than a barrel of Frosh.

There are four books in the Mouse ser­ ies. The Mouse that Roared is firs:, prob­ ably Wibberley’s best known, and has firm­ ly established his reputation. It all start­ ed in 1370, when the Englishman Roger Fenwick and a typically motley crew seized a castle and fifteen square miles of the French Alps, proclaiming it the Duchy of Grand Fenwick. The Duchy remained self supporting and independent for 575 years by export of Pinot Grand Fenwick, finest of wines, until the disastrous population increase from four to six thousand after 1945. Coupled with this increase was a counterfeiting of the wine by American winegrowers which threatened to reduce the long-prosperous duchy to rags. Plans to restore national solvency were four. First was a strong official protest to the State Department, which had never heard of Grand Fenwick and ignored the protest as a joke from the boys in the back room. The second, unacceptable to Duchess Gloriana 4

XII, was to water the wine. The third, de­ nounced as dishonest, was to start a Com­ munist party to obtain a grant from Amer­ ica for international security’s sake. The fourth was therefore adopted: Grand Fen­ wick must declare war and send its volun­ teer army of twenty longbowmen and four men-at-arms to invade the United States and stop the wine counterfeiters. Once the war was lost, of course, Grand Fenwick would be rehabilitated beyond its wildest dreams as were Germany and Japan.

Yet may the best laid plans of mice and mice be sadly led astray, for Grand Fenwick won. Read it, or at least see the funnier but less subtle stage version. Peter Sellers’ motion picture adaptation is witless and better ignored.

Beware of the Mouse was not available to me.

The Mouse on the Moon, which has al­ so been dramatized, is just subtle enough not to be sidesplitting. How a man can stay on so high a plateau of satirical ex­ cellence is hard to understand unless re­ course is had to plenary inspiration. It is hard to write an article about Wibberley, because then arc a limited number of ways, alas to . ; something is funny as Frosh Initial. ': and I’ve run out of them.

How does or< ‘i to the moon with one hundred pou . of old iron and a hogs­ head of Pine ■ and Pru? What is worse than finding arm in an apple, or a fly in a missile’s fuel tank? Will Russia actu­ ally build a Berlin Wall on the Moon? The Mouse on the Moon is superlative satire, fine wit, and good contemporary history.

Wibberley’s rhetorical style is so refinedly natural that one must search carefully to find evidence that he has tirelessly revised and redrafted until every paragraph is technically and aesthetically perfect.

Wibberley’s latest book, The Mouse on Wall Street, is a lemon. He has sold his tradition of great satire and humor for a pot of message. Devoid of humor, devoid of satire. The Mouse on Wall Street is poor, careless writing, basically a plotless, ped­ antic text on the money economy, credit, balance of payments, and stock market tax credits.

plated writing the novel . . . ’” It is by all odds his best work as well. Wibberley’s writing has only two faults that disturb me: first are the frivolous oaths on the Lord’s name in his dialogue, and second his Catholicization of middle things, of doctrines not expressly expounded for us in Scripture, but about which Lutherans will nevertheless have marked opinions.

Wibberley’s Catholicizations fall basically into three categories:

provably false teachings, including a Romanistic interpretation of Christ’s words “Thou art Peter.”

The Centurion brings Christ’s human­ ity rather than His divinity into sharp fo­ cus for us. The Christ of The Centurion, in fact, closely resembles Bruce Barton’s The Man Nobody Knows. The Centurion is inspiring and certainly will make the Christian reader more joyous in his faith, for it becomes a personal experience with First are the praiseworthy Catholiciza­ the work of Christ.

An added weight I bear.

Tearing at the severed organ That they called a heart.

Down it pulls; urging The willing body, down, down Into the depths of silence.

Into the palace of light, Ruled by the prince of quietude.

I cannot descend; I know — The path’s deceitful roadmarks Hide not its dolorous way.

Perhaps — perhaps the past can die, And from that death there shall arise A present of renewal.

I just want to be alive. I mean, that’s al­ right, isn’t it? I want to climb over a fence, and run across a field in the rain, feel my toes sliding around in my shoes as the wet soaks through them, and then in the mid­ dle of the field, just stop, and with my wet shirt stuck to my back, I want to point my nose toward the sky and catch a mouthful of water.

I want to jump the midnight trail as it pulls out of the city, slide one of the doors open and sit on the floor of the box car, and hear the bell at the railroad crossing clang­ ing in time with the swinging of the signal light. As the train speeds up and a cold shiver runs down my back, I want to shrug off any fears I have, because even though I won’t know where I’m going. I’ll know it will be someplace new, because IT1 see the world racing by the open door, always changing.

I want to climb a hill in the heat of the afternoon to be nearer to the blazing sun, pull a handful of grass out by the roots and toss it as high as I can, then feel the wind hit me in the face so that I lose my breath, and climb a tree, and hold my breath until I turn blue, and jumping down from the tree, run back down the hill yelling at the top of my lungs.

puter), witchcraft, sorcery, etc. Magic in particular tends to be dominated by death and often functions to appease the spirits of the dead, to protect the living from them, to propitiate them, and to insure a peace­ ful afterlife for them.

Occultism in one form or another is found in every culture and has its roots firmly planted in the past. The prehistoric magician or witch-doctor would clothe him­ self with the skin of some wild animal be­ cause he felt sure of partaking of the strength of the beast whose skin he wore.

Turning to the Greeks and Romans, we find a reliance upon oracles from Delphi, auguries taken from the flight of birds, and the actual use of magic which, according to Plotinus, a Roman philosopher of about 250 AD, was based on the harmony of cel­ estial bodies and acted through the attrac­ tion which universal forces exerted upon each other. Chrysostom (c. 346-407 AD) writes that Christian mothers tied talis­ mans around their children’s necks and young women would buy philtres (love po­ tions) to make their husbands love them.

Important personages throughout history have dabbled in the occult, including Car­ dinal Richelieu, Charles V of France, and Cardinal Cajetan. The violent deaths of Gustavus Adolphus (King of Sweden 16111672) and of Wallenstein (generalissimo of Austria) were allegedly predicted by the French astrologer Morin. Even during the famous “Age of Enlightenment” and the Napoleonic Empire, chiromancy, the study of the hand to predict the future, became very fashionable. They felt that since char­ acter is expressed through movement, it is only natural that the hand, being the most supple organ, should be capable of express-

Magic, often termed an “occult science,” attempts to overcome the threatening pow­ ers of nature and to enlist the help of cer­ tain favorable forces through various man­ ipulations, incantations, rites, and the pos­ session of special knowledge. Everything that is not yet known or accepted is re­ garded as occult or concealed and provides the basis for magic and the other “occult sciences” — astrology, fortune telling, ouija boards, I Ching (an ancient Chinese divination device — a sort of pre-IBM com13

ing the character and destiny of an indi­ vidual.

In modern times, occultism manifests itself in two main areas — divination of the future through astrology and witch­ craft, which is often coupled with devil worship. We shall first consider astrology, which has intrigued mankind from the dawn of civilization.

Observations of the stars have long been used as evidence for divination. The twelve signs of the Zodiac which are com­ monly employed today were invented by the early Chaldeans. Each sign covers a particular part of the year and is supposed to influence the psychology and destiny of persons and the shape of events which oc­ cur during this sign. First established in Europe through the Arab conquest of Spain in 711 AD, astrology quickly became popu­ lar in medieval society. By the 16th cen­ tury, German astrologers had established the influence of certain zodiacs upon in­ dividual cities and towns. Hence Frank­ furt was placed under the sign of the Ram, Wurzburg under the Bull, and Stuttgart under Sagittarius. Through the use of sim­ ilar “correspondences" and “conjunctions” of planets, modern astrologers arrive at their conjectures about such things as die international political scene, earthquakes, and the end of the world.

Another phase of the occult which lias received publicity lately is witchcraft.

Witches came to the fore chiefly during the Middle Ages when ignorance and fear of the devil allowed superstition to run rampant. The common belief was that witches practiced “black magic” by making a pact with the devil, who they believed assumed the earthly form of a goat. The co-operation of the devil supposedly en­ abled a witch to contact mysterious forces through which she could affect the lives of those around her. The only actual know­ ledge of their skill comes to us from Para­ celsus, who claims that their secret art owed its miraculous cures to various veget­ able poisons. Yet fear of witchcraft and sorcery led to the harsh suppression of any­ one who delved into the occult with the result that between 1575 and 1700 up­ wards of a million people were inculpated, either rightly or wrongly, of witchcraft. In Spain, where the inquisition was especially strong, as many as a hundred witches were

burnt on a single day. When rationalism and the Age of Enlightenment dawned on Europe, superstitious fervor waned, and the image of the devil and his witches gradually evolved from horribly repulsive monsters to extremely handsome people, although magic was still viewed with ap­ prehension.

Until recently this apprehension car­ ried over from Europe to the United States.

We shall not soon forget the infamous Sal­ em witch trials nor the cruel persecutions which developed in the West due to the zealous application of the law of Moses — “Ye shall not suffer sorcerers to live.” How­ ever, today witchcraft and sorcery are being investigated by the young as a new fad.

Black masses, inherited from the masses celebrated in honor of the devil during the witches’ sabbaths of the Middle Ages, seem to be particularly appealing to the magicminded. Not much is known concerning these black masses except that they are a licentious parody of the Christian cere­ mony with Beelzebub as their lord. Origin­ ally black masses were said in the open air, using the bat k of a nude virgin as an altar with a tail, statue of the devil carved in black wood - all a he-goat’s head and carrying blazing . dies in his outstretched arms standing a ailvy. When these “mas­ ses” became an Ir.door ritual, the woman’s stomach was us;. : instead of her back. Fre­ quently drugs L; l hashish, opium, mescalin, and LSD are coupled with witchcraft as keys to the other world.

In the midst of today’s widespread ap­ petite for the irrational, the miraculous, and the unknown sit the college students.

We may wonder why they should be so in­ trigued. They definitely are not ignorant nor overly superstitious. On the contrary, as Professor Huston Smith says regarding students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology who were using psychedelic drugs and resorting to astrology, tarot cards, and magic: “Intellectually they were aristocrats with the highest average math scores in the land, Ivy League verbal scores, and two to three years of saturation in M.I.T. science.”

Calling the trend toward occultism a “return to the sacred,” the first reason young people give is the failure of science — it has not ended war, has not ended in­ justices, and in general does not respond

212 W. Main Street Phone 261-4278 Watertown, Wisconsin 15

to most of man’s inner needs. They con­ sider occultism to be a revolt against pure rationalism and positivism. To some, this “return to the sacred” provides a sort of re­ ligious response to alienation from society and to a feeling of unimportance against the larger society. Through the occult they feel that they can have an influence on others in a society which tends towards de­ personalization and formalism. To others, the cult of the sacred offers an avenue for re-establishing meaningful relationships while at the same time rejecting and with­ drawing from the rationalized society around them. Basically these young adults have rejected God and have turned to oc­ cultism to see if there is anything which will fill this void and add richness and depth to their earthly lives.

For us as Christians the issue is clearcut. Magic and occultism constitute a re­ jection of God and a denial of his ability to protect us and to provide for our future welfare. Whatever the future mav hold, we have no reason to be afraid o rely upon magic to protect us, since Chr ■ him­ self has promised to be with us ev unto the end of the world. For those v o are still tempted to “dabble” in these ar s, let them heed the warning of St. Paul - Ga­ latians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are manii'e which are these; Adultery, fornication, unclea las­ civiousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emula­ tions, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envying, murders, drunkenness, revellu-^s, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

' "Datrick threw himself down, locked his hands over one of his father’s knees, and began, in a loud whisper, “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, kingdom come, will be done, earth as it is in heaven, give us this day — ” Jim folded his newspaper. Patrick should have been in bed an hour ago.

“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “Let’s try it again, slow.”

Patrick repeated distinctly, “Our Fa­ ther, who art in heaven, hallowed . . . ” 16

to take you up into heaven when the time comes. You know about heaven, don’t you?”

Patrick felt himself on the defensive.

“Of course.”

“Well, then, get along with you.”

But Patrick had something difficult to say. “You mean He’ll ask God for any­ thing I want, and He’ll give it to Him for me?”

“Jesus is God’s Son.” Patrick stood up and kissed his father carefully on the cheek. Then he walked from the room, and Jim could hear his bare feet crossing the hall. The bed creak­ ed as Patrick lay down on it. Jim opened the newspaper, read a paragraph, then dropped it in a white heap on the rug. He felt tired, perhaps tonight he might be able to get some sleep. He got up, untied his shoes, and kicked them off. His father got up and said good night. Dad sure has changed since mother died, Jim thought as he watched his father leave the room. It’s really hard for him to work so hard to sup­ port us and even harder to try to raise us by himself. That’s why I must help him raise little Pat. Jim went into the bathoom where his pajamas were hanging inside out just as he had left them in the morning. When he had undressed, he felt Patick’s toothbrush with his thumb; it was dry. He should have explained to Pat what happens to a person’s teeth when he forgets to clean them every night and morning — like mother would have.

Jim stared at his face in the mirror above the basin. He tried smiling. No one could honestly tell what a man was think­ ing by the way he smiled. Even Patrick, who was like a puppy about sensing moods, could not tell. He entered the bedroom on tiptoe. Feeling the sheets bunched up at the foot of the mattress, he remembered that he had made the beds in a hurry. The sheets felt fresh and cool only on Satur­ days, when Mrs. Smith changed them.

Patrick was not asleep. “Jim?” he whispered.

“Go to sleep.”

“I been asking Jesus for something.”

‘Tomorrow.”

“No, I been asking Him right now.”

The boy’s pajamas, Jim saw, were so dirty at the cuffs; probably he had not brushed his teeth. “ ... as we forgive them, who trespass against us — what does trespass mean, Dad?” “Why, hurting anybody."

“Do I trespass anybody?”

“Not much, I guess. Finish up.”

Patrick drew a breath. “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,” Patrick lifted his head to ask his fa­ ther a question about something he had learned in Sunday School, but thought the better of it. Mis father never answered questions seriously, the way his mother used to. Patrick decided to wait and ask Mrs. Smith. “Is Mrs. Smith coming tomor­ row?” he asked.

“She’ll be here all right,” Jim said. “I’ll give you ten seconds to finish the prayer.”

Patrick grinned , the ultimatum. “I thought you wan:.;! me to go slow. For Thine is the ki• and the power and the glory forevo. ,m. 1 ever. Amen.”

Patrick’s qlies' ’ about what he had learned in Sund , s ool was gnawing away at him. 1 i d the answer now. not tomorrow v, Smith would be here to answer asked his brother.

“Will Jesus?"

“Will Jesus \ viia “Will Jesus read- help us get whatever we pray for?”

Patrick’s words caught in Jim’s mind and stayed there, a long way beyond his smiling face. “Yes," he said, and set his pipe in the broken dish on the table beside him. He had not emptied the dish of ashes in two days. Mrs. Smith would give him a piece of her mind tomorrow morning, as she did each week when she came in to give the apartment a general cleaning and to do the laundry.

“How can He help us get whatever we pray for?”

“Climb into bed, ace,” Jim said sternly.

“It’s past nine.”

“How can Jesus help us get whatever we pray for?”

“When you pray in Jesus’ name for something. He then asks God to give it to you for His sake. I suppose He’ll ask God 17

B

Pat lay on his back with his hands over his eyes. “What’ve you been asking Jesus for, Pat?” Patrick hesitated. “I thought I’d better make it something easy first. To see what happened.” He sat up in bed. “A baseball.”

Outside a neighbor’s dog barked. Jim looked at his watch. It was ten o’clock. Pat was deep in the noisy middle of a dream.

Jim listened to his breathing. He tried matching his own breath to Patrick’s, to make sleep come, but it was no use. Every night Jim pretended to himself he was just at the brink of falling off to sleep, but his eyes always widened with wakefulness in the dark. Now, as the dog stopped barking, Jim got up and walked into the bathroom and dressed. Then he went into the living room, unlocked the outside door of the apartment, and then locked it again before he walked down the flight of stairs to the sidewalk. Shops reached out of sight down both sides of Main Street. Jim walked up­ town as he always did. He stopped in front of each bright shop window, studying its contents for the third or fourth time. He knew by now the day on which each win­ dow was changed and by whom. Certain mannikins, certain cardboard people were old friends.

He really missed his mother. He was very close to her. They used to have long talks. There are somethings a young man talks over with his mother and other things he talks over with his father. But now his mother was gone, and it was pretty hard to talk with his dad.

At the next street Jim had to wait for the lights to change. On his left was a bar; on his right, across the street, a drugstore.

Jim waited a moment outside the bar. Then he turned away and crossed the street to the drugstore. The owner, Mr. Thiel, stood sniffing the night air under the painted sign bearing his name.

“Well, Jim, nice night for March.”

“Yes.” Jim wanted only to hear a voice.

“How’s business?” he asked.

“Can’t complain.” Mr. Thiel grinned, shaking his head. “I take that back. It’s lousy. I got to break myself of this old ‘Can’t complain.’ I got to remember how serious it is. Business is lousy.”

Jim leaned back against Mr. Thiel’s 18

!

window, which was crammed with hot-wat­ er bottles, perfumes, toys, and two card­ board girls in shorts and sandals. The girls had been there for two months. There was dust on their teeth and on their smooth brown legs. “You ought to brush their teeth, Mr. Thiel,” Jim said, “and wipe the dust from their legs now and then.”

“You walk a lot,” Mr. Thiel said. “I figure on you, ten or eleven, every night.”

“I guess I do,” Jim said. if

Mr. Thiel patted his hard belly. “Noth­ ing like exercise to keep a man in shape.”

Jim nodded impatiently. It was not Mr. Thiel’s voice he wanted to hear, after all.

"Give me a butterscotch shake, Mr. Thiel.”

PEPSICO!

They walked into the store. Jim sat own on one of the round stools at the foun­ tain and watched Mr. Thiel pouring milk into the shaker. “Nothing like milk,” Mr. Thiel said, "to keep a young man’s system clean.” Jim watched the hands of the elec­ tric clock above the door. Ten-forty-five.

He could not go to bed before twelve. He glanced at the packed counters behind him.

"Sell any baseball: Mr. Thiel?”

SAY

"Sure. I sell anything. Why, are you going to play catch with yourself while you’re walking? .fr. Thiel lifted a tray of baseballs from counter, brought it ov­ er, and set it down ;u the fountain. “Beaut­ ies,” Mr. Thiel said. Fifty cents and up.”

"PEPSI PLEASE"

Jim looked at several of them and fin­ ally picked the one that had some famous baseball player’s autograph on it. “I’ll take this one,” he said.

At Your Canteen

“Such expensive taste! One buck.”

Jim paid for the milk shake and the ball, said, "Good night, Mr. Thiel,” and walked out into the street. In another hour and a half he should have walked almost three miles. By that time his body would be tired enough so that he could sleep. By that time, he hoped, no voice could rouse him.

It was morning when Jim awoke. He lay with his face on his hands, listening to the sound of the March rain against the windows. He remembered suddenly the absurd song that his mother used to sing: “Though April showers may come your way, they bring the flowers that bloom in

May.” March rains brought you nothing.

March rains only shut you in your room without any hope of escape.

Patrick and Mrs. Smith were talking Funeral Service together in the kitchen. Patrick’s voice was high with excitment. “Look at it, Mrs. FURNITURE Smith, look at it! Isn’t it beautiful?”

"OUR SERVICE SATISFIES” “It is that,” Mrs. Smith said in her deep Roland Harder — Raymond Dobbratz voice. Jim sat up in bed. It was too late to warn Mrs. Smith.

607-613 Main Street — Phone 261-2218 “Do you ask for things when you say your prayers, Mrs. Smith?” Patrick de­ BRAUN BUILDERS & SUPPLIERS manded.

“I do.” A pan clattered to the floor.

Water“I’ve seen many a nice sty I’d swap for this dirty kitchen,” Mrs. Smith said. “You’re town like savages from week to week.”

“Do you always get what you ask for?”

Patrick said.

"BRAUN BUILT HOMES “It all depends. I sort of try to guess OFFER MORE FOR LESS” what the good Lord wants to give me, and I ask for that.”

“That’s how I got this baseball,” Pat­ rick said. “It’s been autographed by a fam­ ous baseball player. See? Right here.”

"You must have said yourself a fine prayer,” Mrs. Smith said. There was no hint of surprise in her voice.

“It was just a short one askin' Jesus to ask God to give me a baseball,” ?;.trick said, “but I did it very slowly like Jin: told me to.” Patrick was silent for a mo uent.

“But I’m asking for the real thing tonight.

The ball was just to see. Someone’s going ★ to be here when you come next week.

Mrs. Smith made a clucking sound in her mouth, “Someone instead of me?”

A Daily Newspaper Since 1895 “She was here with me and Jim and Dad before you came,” Patrick said, his voice thin with its burden, “and she’s com­ ing back.”

“Patrick!” Jim shouted.

Patrick ran to the doorway. The ball gleamed in his hand. “Look what I got,” Duraclean of Watertown he said. “I was showing Mrs. Smith.”

“FLOWER FRESH CLEANING” “Come here,” Jim said. When Patrick reached the bed, Jim bent over and fast­ of Fine Furniture and Carpets Commercial, Industrial and Institutional ened his arms behind Pat’s back. There was only one thing to say, and one way to Building Maintenance say it, and that was fast. “I’m glad you WAYNE STAUDE, OWNER like it,” he said. “I bought it for you at Mr. Thiel’s drugstore last night.

Wietzke (’48). rTlHE Alumni column has been taking a -L look at three of the classes in North­ western’s past, the classes of 50, 25, and 10 years ago. In the last two issues Paul Schweppe has written about the first two of these which graduated somewhere in the dark past, or so it seems to us. Those were the days when bread was a nickel and the average allowance would pay one’s way through college.

In this issue I would like to write a bit about a class of not so distant vintage, the class of 1960. Now this was only 10 years ago and dorm life hasn’t really hanged that much since then. There are no more wells to pump and no more military com­ panies around so I was rather hard put to find any really interesting material. But thanks to Pastor Mark Liesener of Brook­ field, Wisconsin, a member of that class, I think I can give it a try.

It seems that the class of 1960 was a sort of transition class. As Tertianers they were the first to have the rule of West Hall as Preps, and it was the first class to spend four years in East Hall, which had just been built. When the class entered North­ western as Sextaners they still had many of the old-line professors and when they left many of the new men were coming in.

Pastor Liesener describes his class like this: “Our class was not outstanding in any field. We had fewer men enter the ministry from our class than from any other class since 1948. We won no cham­ pionships in sports, set no world afire in 22

the classroom, and generally lived with the goal of doing as little as possible to get out of Northwestern. When we left we were as glad to leave as the faculty was to see us leave.”

Whether the rest of his classmates would agree with him I don’t know. At any rate, the class did have one accom­ plishment; they started the Dorm Council in their senior year. Although the Dorm Council seems to have lost some of its in­ fluence today, back then it was a ruling body in the dorm and did have quite a bit of influence on dorm life. This was how it started: “It all started with the Dean putting up a sign which stated that there would be no more watching T.V. after twelve, because it interfered with the sleep of the tutor, who had a hard time seeing the back of his hand because of bad eye sight, got too close to the sign, and knock­ ed it to the floor. Lest the sign commis­ sioned by the Dean be trampled on. it was taken into protective custody by Silas Krueger.”

“Dean countered by removing our T.V. We countered this by calling Dean to re­ port that our T.V. v ;s stolen and chanting at the evening meal, 'We want television.’

Sad to say we ' ■ - ejected from the din­ ing hall. To go even, plans were made to make sure that neither the tutor nor the Dean could sleep that night. At midnight the dorm emptied into the T.V. room and proceeded to make as much noise as possi­ ble. Today you could call it a campus riot.

With our classic background we didn’t know that word yet.

“To make the story short, meetings were called on successive days by the Dean in an attempt to find the sign and guilty peo­ ple. The result was the first good, honest discussion between students and faculty in years. The battle was resolved with the Seniors returning the sign, and the Dean promising to fight for a Dorm Council be­ fore the faculty. As you know the faculty did give permission for a Dorm Council to begin. Before starting the Dorm Council, even students in college had no voice what­ soever. If our class left any mark on North­ western, it would have to be this.”

CLASSECCM That scarce I could name them amidst the loud booms: “There’s Davidson, Schwertfeger, Hilgendorf, too!

Fischer and Turriff and Tex — the whole crew Of second floor-northites is out and around.

To see what of mischief there is to be found.”

As men who from tormenters strive to be free, And pursued by their foes, run away and do flee, So dashed far and near all the Preps in the dorm.

In disorder and chaos — not quiin o to norm.

And then, as expected, we heard in the shower The running of water — yeah. true faucet power.

As I ducked in a doorway to avoid being splashed, Down the stairwells full barrels of water err - rashed.

There was liquid all over, from third floor to first, And our clothes soon no longer complained of their thirst; The water was quick to quite dampen our beds, But the bulk of the moisture was thrown at our heads.

The ashes of books burned were tossed to the ground, And the smoke, it encircled our heads all around; Great bundles of papers were flung into sacks; Then, confetti-like pieces were strewn in our tracks.

The Preps were all snick’ring.

Their faces how wary!

They all looked like cats gulping down a canary; They had wicked grins from their right cheeks to left, And they acted like madmen, of their senses bereft.

Because my vocal chords function in somewhat the same fashion as the silent shewa or furtive pathah does in Hebrew, I would like to take this opportunity to speak through the more deliberative means of communication, the written word. As a monitor in the prep dorm this year, I have had the pleasure of experiencing such mo­ ments as the following (but please show a little charity, as you’re groping through this parody):

i;

’Twas the eve of our Easter break; all through East Hall Not a Prep was a-running or bouncing a ball; Their luggage was packed; rooms were cleaned with great care, In hopes that the morrow’s dawn soon would be there; The four high school classes were tucked in their beds, While visions of water raids danced in their heads; Tut’ Kugler in P.J’s, and monitors all, Had just hit the hay into sleep for to fall, When all through the halls there arose such a clatter, I hopped out of bed to observe this here matter.

Away to the scene I quick hastened and scurried, And tried to be calm, though internally worried.

The light in the hallway on second floor north Betrayed all the Preps from their rooms sneaking forth; When, what on my sleep-lacking eyes was engraved, But a group of sextaners who, fully enslaved.

Were whipped by towel rat-tails with such a great force, I knew that 'twas Tertia’s class railing, of course!

More rapid each moment they fled from their rooms, 24

Then they all lined the hallway, with pillow in hand, And they whacked underclassmen, who, badly outmanned, Soon fled from the torture and took refuge in bed.

Now we faced just two classes head-on, head-to-head!

We spoke not a word, but swift action we took.

Dave Schulz even threatened to confer "Prep Handbook.”

At last, though, it happened!

We dispersed the great mass.

And it took nothing more than two blasts of tear gas.

Now tutor and monitors, too, tried to sleep And succeeded by counting up all Prep black sheep.

But, when in the morning in crept the sun’s beam, Great relief came upon me: ’twas only a dream!

Donation Gratefully Accepted Before her death, Mrs. Leonard Lang, a member of St. John’s congregation, Cold Spring, Wisconsin, asked that her Ham­ mond electric organ be given to some edu­ cational, charitable institution. Several months ago, her husband decided to give it to NWC. The organ, which has an additional speaker for stereo effect, will probably be placed into what is soon to become tire mus­ ic auditorium (now the gymnasium). For the time being it has been installed in the rehearsal room in the Chapel-Arts building.

Male Chorus to Milwaukee The Lutheran Chorale Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary Male Chorus Dr. Martin Luther College Concert Choir Northwestern College Male Chorus Wisconsin Lutheran College Choir Wisconsin Lutheran High School Choir Sunday, May 3 — The NWC Male Chor­ us, along with the above choirs, will pre­ sent the first Wisconsin Lutheran Choral Festival. The first presentation will be in the Uihlein Hall of the Milwaukee Perform­ ing Arts Center at 2:30 p. m. That even­ ing the Wisconsin Lutheran High School will host a repeat performance at 7:30.

Approximately 3,300 people, both auditor­ iums included, will witness the combined 350 voices in action. All tickets have been sold in advance.

Other than the afternoon and evening performances, that Sunday morning the NWC chorus is to sing at various Milwau­ kee churches. Dr. Arnold O. Lehmann, director, will divide the chorus into two groups for the early morning services at Messiah and Atonement churches and will combine these again for the 10:30 service at Bethel.

WITI-TV channel 6, Milwaukee, will present a program featuring groups from the Festival at 9:30 a. m., May 3. The NWC Touring Chorus, which recently com­ pleted a five-day tour through Wisconsin and Minnesota, will represent NWC in the television program.

Drugs and the NWC Student Prof. Paul Boehlke led a student dis­ cussion on the topic of drugs in the base­ ment of Wartburg Hall, April twelfth. He explained the various aspects of hallu­ cinogenic drugs (as opposed to addictive drugs), especially concentrating on LSD and marijuana. It was generally agreed that the incontrolability of the stronger “mind-expanding” drugs make them very unwise even for experimentation. Because of its controversial nature, the question “Can we, as Christians, use marijuana in moderation?” was considered at length.

Can we use marijuana, for example, in the same way liquor is used today? Prof. Boehl­ ke made these four points quite clear; 1) The nature of the “high” or “trip”, though in some respects it bears resemblances, is not the same as the effects of alcohol. With alcohol, the more the drinker drinks, the more readily the effects are seen, but with

M.R.B. 26

marijuana the user is either “high” or not, with degrees that range from “Out of it” to “gone.” 2) The research done with mari­ juana is not as yet extensive enough to conclude definitely whether marijuana could damage brain cells, as LSD has been shown to do. 3) Marijuana today is sold illegally. 4) Doses of it have been known to contain LSD or other “mind-expanding” drugs. Many reports on “pot” are contra­ dictory, therefore giving advocates and those who hope to refute the cause of mari­ juana feasible arguments. Most people who start using pot, will not easily give it up.

Users, should they stop using pot for any length of time, show no withdrawal symp­ toms; however, given a chance, they will go back to smoking it. Many feel the only hold marijuana could have on the user is merely psychological and not addictive.

It became evident that the growing use of marijana may prompt the government to eventually legalize it and then control the sale and quality of marijuana as it did with the sale of liquor.

Almost everyone has his own ideas on drugs. There were few, if any, who could refute the above points when they looked at this growing dilemma from the Christ­ ian point of view M.R.B.

Yearbook Oui • v September The NVVC yearbook, named MNEMA (a Greek word meaning “memories”) is on schedule as the last quarter of the year is well under way.

When asked the purpose of the year­ book, John Moldenhauer (co-editor with Bruce Ahlers) recalled the problems that the Black and Red has had in recent years with funds and student cooperation for its commencement issue. To alleviate the bur­ den placed on the Black and Red and to bet­ ter cover the material on campus life and campus organizations, a concerned group of students decided to begin to look into the possibilities of a college yearbook.

MNEMA’S initiators hurdled problems of student and faculty consent through polls and petitions. Once able volunteers had been screened to fill the necessary MNEMA positions and Dr. Kiessling had been determined as faculty advisor, the yearbook was given the go-ahead.

The pictures for the yearbook are be­ ing handled by its staff members in coor-

SPCKTS Mention the “Weathermen” on most campuses these days, and men in high places are likely to cringe a mite. The weatherman will also be observed very closely at NWC by three men: baseball coach Ed Pieper, golf coach Don Sellnow, and tennis player-coach Jim Schuppenhauer. All three have precious little time to ready their charges for the short but rela­ tively heavy spring campaigns. Let’s take a short look at the general prospects, and old and new faces for each sport.

jf

Baseball The appetites of NWC fans were whet­ ted last season when the Trojans took the Gateway Conference title. This year the team will play a heavy 19 game schedule, including six doubleheaders. If the Tro­ jans hope to have any chance to repeat this year, the pitching must be more than adequate. One only has to mention the name of Roger Schultz, and almost any knowledgeable fan will know that the pitch­ ing will be above average. Schultz, a soph who’s already had some pro feelers, was the team’s “stopper” last season, while com­ piling a perfect 6-0 record. Dennis Lemke (2-0 last season), George Swanson, and Chuck Learman could combine to fill out an excellent pitching rotation. Coach Piep­ er is searching for relief pitchers, and Paul Metzger and Rich Press may be called on to step into the tight situations.

As Coach Pieper likes to say, the Tro­ jans will be “strong up the middle” — always the mark of a good team. John Schmidt and “Skinny Rick” Zahn make up an adequate catching corps. The keystone

combo of Bobby Gurgel at short and Jimmy Castillo at second combines two guys with great hands in the fields and good bats.

Look for a lot of D.P.’s from these guys again this year. Keith Kuschel, the pre­ mier hitter of the team, covers a lot of ground in center field.

What’s the situation on the corners?

It looks as if there will be green talent, but talent nevertheless. Frosh Meier has look­ ed sharp at first base, while frosh Steve Ehlke or soph John May will man the hot corner. Rog Kuerth looks like a fixture in right with backup help from Tom Frey.

Left field could be manned by a wide var­ iety of talent, but will probably be platooned between Schultz and Swanson.

The team has most letterwinners back from last year’s pennant winners, but the graduation losses of Dennis Smith and Carl Butzky, the loss of Dave Palmquist due to ineligibility, and the loss of pitcher Bob Bischoff, who left school, will hurt, but just how much remains to be seen. LOOK FOR A GOOD YEAR; WITH A LITTLE LUCK, - ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP! Tennis Depth will be a plus for the 1970 Tro­ jan tennis team. The quality of pi a- won’t suffer too greatly as one proceeds down the tentative order: Jim Schuppenliaiu the old vet and player-coach, Phil Schu nann, a promising frosh, soph Ralph Jon. s, jun­ ior Mark Falck (a shoe-in for the “most improved” award, if there were such an an­ imal), and freshmen Dan Schaffer and Scott Stone. His only worry has been the sudden decision of Paul Hartwig, the bad boy of tennis, to give golf a try this year.

Schupp’s consternation is understandable.

“Toomey” played #3 singles last year and might have been able to step into the big shoes of Ron Hansen, last year’s *1 who did not return to school. HEAVY LOSSES MAY BE TOO HARD TO REPLACE WITH NEW TALENT, BUT THE TEAM SHOULD IMPROVE WITH EVERY MATCH.

Golf Coach Don Sellnow has produced steady improvement in NWC’s golf for­ tunes in the last few years. This year should be no exception, since all of last year’s squad have returned. Steady Bob Balza and John Stellick will probably again hold down the top two spots. The next 28

four men in the playing order for matches could come from these veterans: soph Gary Griep, juniors Joel Schroeder and Jim Naumann, senior Fred Berger. Providing a very stiff challenge to the vets are talent­ ed newcomers Ken Kolberg and Paul Hartwig. LOOK FOR A WINNING SEASON WITH A STRONG PERFORMANCE IN THE CONFERENCE TOURNEY. INTRAMURALS Volleyball With a team of devastating spikers led

by Rog Schultz, Paul Hartwig’s sophs breez­ ed through a 27 game schedule undefeated, with only Kuschel’s seniors and Witt’s jun­ iors providing any serious competition.

Other members of the winners: George Swanson, Glenn Thompson, Norm Seeger. and “Dynamic Dick” Zahn.

Bowling Jim Gorsegner, Jim Kleist, Greg Heiman, Norm Seeger, and Dieter Gust led Elmer and Beats’ “Chubby Pumpkins” to the championship in NWC’s intramural bowling league. Over 100 students parti­ cipated in the keen competition. Timmel’s Tap took second place, and the faculty men from Cutco wound up in third. “Don Car­ ter” Stuppy cleaned up on the individual trophies with a high game of 252, a high series of 614, and his second straight award for “most improved bowler.” Maurice Hop­ pe repeated as the bowler with the highest average - 171. In the final doubles tourna­ ment, Hoppe teamed with Ed Fredrich for the top money. Second place went to the men from the wrong side of the generation gap.

readers. It provides reminders for its read­ ers of events to come and tells them how they can take part in them. It chronicles past events, telling what took place and who took part. It leaves a record for any­ one who would want to look back upon the history of the school.

However, the Black and Red as a school magazine differs from a school paper in that it is chiefly a medium of self-expres­ sion rather than a means for promulgating the news.

Why Should We Publish a Magazine Rather than a Newspaper ?

There are two good and closely-related reasons for publishing the Black and Red as a magazine. First, in every school there is considerable writing talent. A school newspaper does not provide an outlet for creative literary writing; without a maga­ zine this talent would go unrecognized.

Secondly, a magazine as the Black and Red serves to stimulate interest in and appre­ ciation of literary and poetic art. Although graphic arts do not play a major role in a liberal arts curriculum, the magazine also offers an opportunity for the student inter­ ested in the visual medium of expression.

Poetry, short stories, non-fictionai arti­ cles, essays, character sketches, ch criptions, vignettes, humor, interviews, travel­ ogs, drawings, reviews, and cartoons are only a few of the possibilities for the pro­ spective writer to consider.

For the students who are truly interest­ ed in creative art, contributing to the Black and Red will be a valuable and enriching experience. This magazine can be a help and encouragement to the embryo artist.

Don’t hesitate to contribute. Our deadline for the June number is May 12.

Cool T ook around; see the cool guys; see them -Lj laugh; see them rail; see them be cool!

I do believe we have a campus overstocked with cool guys. Ask any of them. “Are you cool?” “Yeah, man, I am so cool.”

The results of this collectively over-in­ flated ego are easily observed but not easily swallowed. Cliques and closed groups are the accepted mode of existence, and to me, this is unacceptable. For, the enmity of a clique may be earned by something as sub­ tle as the way one combs his hair, or a 30

small personality quirk. I say. “Big deal, so only student government, is in need of re­ he wears pigtails — what’s it to you?” So juvenation. Perhaps the best way to look he talks a little too much. All of us seem at the problem is to examine carefully how a little too quick to point to someone’s bad we elect the president and representatives characteristics and quirks. Yet, when some­ of this organization. The president is nom­ one rails on us for our oddities, we reply inated in a very intriguing manner. Any­ with great indignation, “I’m just doin’ my one can put the name of a senior on a peti­ tion and post it on the bulletin board dur­ thing.”

Tolerance is the name of this game. If ing the designated week. Or if a senior is you want to do your thing, then you’ll have bold enough, he can post his own petition; to let Joe Downthehall do his thing too. but woe to him if anyone should see him Don’t tell me how broadminded and toler­ posting his own nomination papers. Stu­ ant you are unless you can get along with dents have the perogative of signing these and understand, at least a little, everybody papers. After a week the papers are re­ on campus. We all talk about the problem moved, and the three men with the most of racism and prejudice and how it will signatures are placed on the ballot. This take love to work it out. Many of us claim manner does not assure the students of that we would be the last to judge a man having three men on the ballot who defin­ by the color of his cover; however, few of itely desire the position and have construc­ us hesitate to rail on, laugh at, or complete­ tive ideas for the improvement of the Coun­ ly revile a fellow student if he doesn’t com­ cil. More often than not they are three popular guys on campus who are involved ply with our standard of “cool.”

If we as Christians, and not only Christ­ in so much that they really don’t have the ians, but future preachers of the Word of time to devote to being student body presi­ Love, cannot tolerate each other, what hope dent. Usually the person who is elected is is there that anyone else will listen when the one whose name (and more than often we talk about the love of God and loving it is merely the name) and not whose per­ our neighbor, no mu ’' v hat color or race? son is known by the majority of the stu­ dents. There is a more effective way to Tolerance is an inleg: : ; part of love.

One more thin. in God’s kingdom nominate and elect a president than this. there is no such t.' ; • as cool. Indeed, The idea is not a new one, but it has been could we be cool v • have lied, sworn, practiced in this country effectively since cursed, hated, slant-an d? So, the next the establishment of the Constitution and time you think of y< 1 as Mr. Aceguy, has proven itself to be a practical and effec­ forget it. And the n si time you think of tive system. The idea is this. Any senior someone else as weird or out of it, forget who desires to be a candidate for the presi­ that too. That is just another way of say­ dency of the Dorm Council should circu­ ing I’m cooler than he is. Again, who of late his own nomination papers. This will bring the candidate in contact with the us is cool?

Love, then, is all it, and that means students and give the students a better those who are hard to love or different from chance to know the candidate and his you. Reason — God loved us for no reason views and ideas on the Dorm Council. An but love itself; can we not love even our assembly could also be held during elec­ tion week at which the three candidates fellow Christians? could openly express their ideas on the M.F. Dorm Council to the entire student body.

Apertif The election of representatives from T et’s get moving! These are the days of each class could also be handled in a sim­ continual evaluation and modification ilar way. Presently representatives are not of existing systems. Even as the faculty is elected to the Council on the basis of their evaluating and proposing changes in our ideas for improvement, but, because more curriculum, we as students should be tak- often than not fellow classmates feel that ing a good look at the organizations we if friends are elected, then the rules will have on campus and evaluating them as not be as stringently enforced.

If a machine is not working properly, to their effectiveness.

One such organization is the Dorm it is time to repair it or remove it!

T f I were to ask any person in this assem­ bly, “What does Felix Mendelssohn mean to you?” he would probably say, “Didn’t he write The Wedding March’?” If this per­ son happened to be a graduate of North­ western College, he would probably ans­ wer, “He was a German composer of the first half of the 19th Century, who wrote ‘Incidental Music to A Midsummer Night's Dream’ and the oratorio Elijah .” If this person happened to be well-versed in mus­ ic literature, he might add, “Other works of this conservative Romantic composer and renowned conductor are the Scotch, Italian, and Reformation Symphonies, the Hebrides Overture, and the Songs without Words." If I would qualify my question by inquiring, “What does Felix Mendelssohn mean to you as a Lutheran?” I might not receive answers so readily. However, Menelssohn has made a very definite and signi­ ficant contribution to Lutheran music.

Most of us would readily agree that the Lutheran musical heritage which is ours today is for the most part based on the contributions of Johann Sebastian Bach.

This is true not only because of the volume of literature which Bach wrote for the Lu­ theran church, but also because of the depth of its content and the originality of its form. His approximately 200 Cantatas, 2 Passions, 2 Magnificats, 5 Masses, 6 Or­ atorios, 6 Motets, 188 chorale harmoniza­ tions, many chorale preludes, preludes and fugues, and other organ works certainly provide our Lutheran musicians with an extensive musical storehouse from which to work.

Bach’s compositions were the culmin­ ation of the Baroque era and the apex of contrapuntal music. He wrote music which was painstakingly correct according to the rules of harmony and counterpoint in which he had been trained. In the middle of the 18th century, however, this style of music was changing. The younger con­ temporary composers of Bach’s time were writing sweet, uncomplicated melodies

placed in airily elegant settings which lacked the intricate workmanship of the older masters. Although this music be­ came very popular, Bach refused to write in this style. Surrounded by plain, enter­ taining, sentimental, Rococco music, he was out-of-date and old-fashioned. During the last few years of his life, he was regard­ ed as an uninspired learned pedant. After his death none of his works were a part of any concert organist’s or choral group’s repertoire. His music lived only in the memories of his sons, his pupils, and his friends.

After 1750 it seemed that Bach’s music was dead and forgotten. The only copies of most of his works were divided among his sons. No passions or Cantatas were performed anywhere, not even in the Thomaskirche at Leipzig, where Bach had been cantor and Director Musices for 27 years. An indication of the lack of . ceptance of Bach’s work by the music ublic of the last half of the 18th century s evi­ dent from the number of sales of his Die Kunst der Fuge. Only 30 of these had been sold by 1756. No other work of his was considered worthy of separate publication until 1800. For 30 years Bach’s only worth­ while contribution to music was thought to be his sons, Karl Phillipp Emanuel and Johann Christian.

Even the most renowned musicians of the day were not at all acquainted with Bach’s music. An anecdote in the life of W. A. Mozart illustrates this point very well. During a visit to Leipzig in 1789, Mozart visited the Thomaskirche and — schule. In order to do something special at this important occasion, the choir of the church presented Bach’s double chorus mo­ tet, “Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied”.

Hardly had the choir sung a few measures when Mozart sat up, startled. A few mea­ sures later he called out, “Was ist das?”

When the singing stopped, he said, “Da ist doch etwas, woraus sich was lernen laesst.” He then asked to see all the manu34

first public appearance as a pianist at the age of ten. He had received his basic train­ ing for piano work from his mother, who had stressed Bach’s music, since she had studied music under J. P. Kimberger, who as was mentioned previously had been Bach’s pupil.

At this point in his life, Felix’s moth­ er’s aunt Sara Levy Itzig intervened. Sara Levy was the most gifted of Daniel Itzig’s daughters. She had been a pupil of J. S. Bach’s son, Wilhelm Friedemann. Later she became a member of Zelter’s Singakademie. She urged Felix’s parents to have him study music under Zelter. His parents agreed, and Felix learned harmony, count­ erpoint, and composition under the influ­ ence of one of the few remaining propo­ nents of Bach. Since his teacher was also the conductor of the Singakademie, Felix joined that organization at the age of ten.

Through his private instruction and his membership in the Singakademie, Mendels­ sohn came into contact with all of Zelter’s Bach manuscripts. Immediately captivat­ ed by the genius of the master, he consci­ entiously studied every work of Bach which he could obtain. One might say that in his music studies he majored in Bach.

When Felix was 12 years old he saw the autograph of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in the royal library. He was intrigued by this work and studied it intently. When Felix’s grandmother learned this, she had a copy of it made and gave it to him as a Christmas present in 1823. Within several years Mendelssohn had assimilated thus entire work.

So, then, a young music genius of the early 19th century became a major pro­ ponent of Bach, since he was a great-grandpupil of the 18th century composers by way of W. F. Bach, J. P. Kimberger, Sara Levy Itzig, K. F. Zelter, and Lea Salomon Mendelssohn.

Because of the determination of Felix Mendelssohn as the leader of pro-Bach propaganda, a movement arose within the Singakademie to present the St. Matthew Passion. After a reluctant Zelter’s aid was obtained to secure the use of the concertroom and the chorus, many months of practice and persuasion were still neces­ sary. Finally, since Zelter did not want to undertake such a monumental task of pre­ senting this music of an “unknown” corn-

scripts which had been preserved as relics in Leipzig. He studied them all and had copies made.

Around the year 1800, three events oc­ curred which at least saved the vestige of Bach’s works from total extinction. First, in 1791 the Singakademie of Berlin was founded by Karl Fasch and Johann Philipp Kimberger, a former pupil of J. S. Bach.

Their pupil, Karl Friedrich Zelter, succeed­ ed Fasch as conductor of the Singakadem­ ie, which by 1802 had grown to be a group of 200 voices. As it happened, besides be­ ing a grand-pupil of Bach through Kirnberger, Zelter was also a collector of Bach manuscripts. Since some of his manu­ scripts were suitable for a group such as the one of which he was the conductor, he introduced some of Bach’s motets to his singers. Secondly, in 1801 Das wohltemperirte Klavier was published in Zurich, Bonn, and Leipzig. Thirdly, in 1802 Jo­ hann Nicolaus Forkel published the first biography of Bach, Uebcr Johann Sebas­ tian Bachs Leben, Kunst, uud Kmistwerke.

A fourth event which occurred at approx­ imately this same time would ultimately result in the restoration of Bor»? to the mus­ ic world. This fourth event • the birth of Felix Mendelssohn in 1 Jacob Ludwig Felix Ms o ssohn-Bartholdy was the grandson o ' \ ■ >ses Men­ delssohn and the great-giv ■■n of Daniel Itzig. Moses Mendelssohn o • ?. self-taught intellectual who had beconv: a celebrated philosopher, and is often caikd ■‘Germany’s Socrates”. Daniel Itzig was Frederick II’s financial backer and adviser. Because of these two men, both sides of Felix’ ances­ try were raised to high positions in the pol­ itical and cultural society of their day. It­ zig’s granddaughter Lea Salomon married Moses’ son Abraham, a Parisian banker.

The most important of their offspring was Felix Mendelssohn.

Because Abraham Mendelssohn wanted his son to have every possible chance at social, economic, and cultural success in Christian Germany, he had him baptized as a Lutheran Christian and added the name Bartholdy to their family name to distinguish the Lutheran Mendelssohns from the Jewish Mendelssohns. So Felix was brought up and educated as a Luther­ an. After a general education under pri­ vate tutors, which did not particularly em­ phasize music, the young genius made his 35

poser, on March 11, 1829, the St. Matthew Passion was presented under the baton of Felix Mendelssohn. This was the first per­ formance of this work since it was sung under Bach at Leipzig exactly 100 years before. This presentation by Mendelssohn was a dazzling revelation to the music pub­ lic of his time. Almost nobody had ever heard any of the vocal works of J. S. Bach before. The general reaction was one of astonished awe at the magnificence of this “newly discovered” composer.

Because of numerous demands for re­ petition, the Passion was repeated on March 21 and again during Holy Week of that same year. In 1840 it was sung for the first time in 111 years in Bach’s own Thomaskirche. But these mere repetitions of performance were not the significant by­ products of the presentation of March 11, 1829. In 1845 the St. Matthew Passion, the St. Mark Passion, and the Mass in B Minor were published. During these same years 200 of Bach’s Cantatas were revived, and all his available keyboard music was published. In 1850 the Bach Gesellschaft was founded under the leadership of Rob­ ert Schumann. This society, founded to

publish all of Bach’s works, completed its task in 1900. These are the significant by­ products of Mendelssohn’s presentation.

No other event in the struggle against extinction of Bach’s works was as colorful or had such repercussions as the perfor­ mance by the Singakademie in 1829. This event marked the resurgence of a musical era believed to be dead. It can be compared with a giant coming out of his grave. The present-day Bach “worshippers” must not forget that their cult dates back to Felix Mendelssohn, who gave new vitality to a great and profound composer.

Not only is the entire music world in­ debted to Felix Mendelssohn, however.

Without Felix Mendelssohn our heritage of Lutheran church music based on J. S. Bach might still be a private collection of manuscripts preserved as relics somewhere in Germany. Because of Felix Mendelssohn the Lutheran chorale did not develop into a sentimental Romantic ballad or ditty, but returned to what it had been for Bach, a means of conveying God’s Word. In Men­ delssohn’s own words, “And to think that it should be a Jew who would give bac to the people the greatest of Christian wo s.”

But should we turn our backs complete­ tric or that militates against His Witness ly on any form of modern worship and is an abomination to the Lord.

Since the centrality of Christ and of spurn all attempts at revision or modifi­ cation?

ly. One obvious use is in work with youth groups. Another is mission work among groups of people who might not so easily understand the words of the liturgy or ap­ preciate the music that we know and love so well. In addition, since our language and culture are changing, a revision might also be necessary for general congregation­ al use. This need is recognized by our Synod’s Commission on Hymnody and Worship, which has a group working on the possibilities of revised worship mater­ ials.

The point with which I would like to close is this: Just as a book should not be condemned because of the color of its cov­ er, an order of service should not be con­ demned because the form may seem a bit strange. Its content must be judged by the Scriptures, and, if it passes that test, the same principles apply to it that apply to all adiaphora. The greatest of these principles is our love for one another in Christ, Who first loved us.

to the Lord in praise should be our best.

Such a revision should not be forced on anyone. In situations where the old forms are revered and understood, the in­ troduction of a new one would serve only to disturb the devotion of the people.

Change for the sake of change is never a good policy to follow. Once again we have die example of the great Reformer to guide us. When Luther reworked the liturgy for his people, he operated with the principles that have since become one of the trade­ marks of the church that bears his name.

Whatever can be retained, should be; what­ ever ought to be changed, should be. A radical departure from the present form would be tantamount to turning one’s back on two thousand years of Christian wor­ ship experience, and this would be ex­ tremely presumptuous.

Someone might be tempted to ask, “Of what use is all this? What could be gained by working with new materials? Isn’t it all just a big waste of time?” No, not real-

So in the midst of a full course of studies NWC has an equally full card of varsity and intramural sports and other ex­ tracurricular activities from amateur pho­ tography to drama. The refrain of the Northwestern Fight Song at Homecoming still opens the fountains of nostalgia for any NWC alumnus no matter how old.

This is your Northwestern College sit­

uated on 36 acres of attractive campus in Watertown, Wisconsin. This is your school because you have built it with your contri­ butions to missions and special synodical building offerings. You have staffed it with theologically trained and dedicated educa­ tors. You have subsidized it so that every student who attends owes you a debt for his education. The 291 students there to­ day will in the main become your pastors tomorrow.

Your pastor probably attended NWC. The Colonial Conference is praying for three new ministers in 1970. They no doubt will be alumni of NWC. And to keep the supply coming, your boy or you, teenager, should consider being the next to attend NWC. “Onward old Northwestern.”

It was a hot and muggy afternoon just after a thunder storm, and the wet red clay on the ground squished when you walked on it.

“Scoot on over to the other side, and we’ll tie up the thing against the back of the cab,” coughed Scotty as he untangled the knotted-up glob of hemp rope.

“Want me to ride up in back and hold onto it?” yelled Junior.

“Nah, just sit tight here in the cab “Junior kicked the clay off his boots up against the runningboard, and jumped in.

The old truck rolled down the driveway and turned onto the county trunk.

“How long it gonna take to git to ‘lanna?” asked Junior.

“Least couple hours, goin’ this slow. I ain’t hurryin’. I ain’t gonna have that piana rollin’ all over and cornin’ loose. I stuck a lotta money in that thing, and I ain’t seein’ it busted. Now you just watch, boy, and see if’n it comes loose.”

The pick-up truck rumbled its way along the back road stirring up partridge and armadillo now and then. Occasionally an armadillo would trot out of the under­ brush and stroll into the path of the truck.

Whummp! The truck would rattle as it lurched over it. Most of the time, the arm­ adillo would merely roll back onto his feet 40

“I tied it down, remember boy. It ain’t goin’ nowhere I” The truck snorted and started to roll forward again. Two miles up the road they went onto the state highway, but there wasn’t anymore traffic on it than there was on the county trunk. The sun bore down on the thin strip of red-streaked concrete, oppressed on both sides by tall banks of eroded clay. A while later, they rolled on by a migrant labor bus parked on the side of the road with all its occupants sitting under it eating watermelon. As Junior slow­ ly mouthed the letters on the sign of a small gas station up ahead, Scotty noticed that the gas gage read empty, so he turned off and stopped next to the pump.

“Whatcha want?” mumbled the sleepy attendant as he fell out of the front door of the shabby building.

“Put in two bucks wortha low-test,” flip­ ped Scotty as he cut the engine.

“Ya mean regular?”

“Ya, that’s what I mean.”

The two slid out of the truck and wan­ dered over to the soda machine, which was permanently out of commission. Tk. air was perfectly still, and there wasn’t a sound to be heard, except the steady dings of the gas pump, and in between those, the buz­ zing of horseflies around the solitary gar­ bage can that happened to be tipped on its side. The screen door was kicked in and hanging from one hinge. The front win­ dow was lacking glass and had a piece of plastic tacked on to keep the rain out. It seemed as though the building, a 10X10 wood frame shed, was held up chiefly by the STP stickers stuck on the siding at strategic positions.

“Where ya goin’ with that piana?” came a voice from within. Scotty saunter­ ed over to the threshold.

“Goin’ to ’lanna,” was the reply.

At the desk peering over a wrinkled road map was a heavy-set sheriff, mirrored sun glasses and all. At his feet lay a soggy looking Doberman licking out of a jar lid.

Now and then the sheriff would take a little green bottle out of his pants pocket and pour some more into the lid.

“Why ya goin’ there?” the sheriff added as he switched his toothpick from one side of his mouth to the other.

“I’m delivering the piana to a friend,” Scotty replied.

'

“And I’m helping him,” added Junior.

“Where ya from?”

“Down by Perry,” said Scotty as he fid­ geted with some coins in his pocket.

The sheriff rocked back in his chair and accidently caught the tip of his dog’s tail.

Immediately the dog went into hysterics and dashed outside screaming like an old lady.

“Elsie’s got a good nose, but too stinkin’ stupid,” the sheriff growled unflustered.

“That’ll be two bucks, mister,” said the attendant as he slipped in behind the desk and punched the ancient cash register.

Scotty pulled out two seedy bills from his wallet and handed them to the atten­ dant. Scotty motioned to Junior that he wanted to pull out, so they both headed over to the truck. Just as they were about to fling open the doors, the sheriff shouted with a smirk on his face.

“Not so fast, boys, ya know real good that this here is a dry county.”

“Elsie sure do know her business,” aded Scotty as they watched I'lsie licking the sustain pedal. Junior dh- * catch on for a while.

Webster defines hitchhiking in this manner: “to travel by securing free rides from passing vehicles.” There’s one word in that definition which hits every one of us right between the eyes, and that word is “free.” We, young people, and especially college students, never seem to have an abundance of money.

venture which breeds itself when confined within four dormitory walls.

This desire for adventure is hard to des­ cribe, but it always seems the most preva­ lent when it is the least desirable. For ex­ ample, you are slaving at your desk trying to meet the deadline on an English term paper. Your thoughts on Victorian liter­ ature are sparse and scattered, but you have no trouble imagining yourself stand­ ing along a highway on a beautiful after­ noon with the warm hope of expectation in your heart (or in your feet, depending on the weather). You are always optimis­ tic. “Of course, the next driver will stop.

Why shouldn’t he? He ought to know that I’ve been standing here already for an hour.” Suddenly your dream comes true, and a beautiful girl in a new GTO pulls to a sudden stop in front of you. Maybe you think this all sounds too good to be true, but then it better be good because your term paper hasn’t been writing itself dur­ ing the time.

The rules of the road for hitchhiking are really quite simple. All you need u one fairly well-dressed individual standing along a highway carrying a sign • • ii his destination printed on it. The hitchhikers of today are no longer shabbilyssed bums of the Depression. They she. .. not hesitate to wear a tie while solicit; g for a ride because the motorist immediately forms a better opinion of the person stand­ ing there. Add to this one well-developed thumb, and you have all the proper qualifi­ cations.

Even the hitchhiker is part of Ameri­ ca’s affluent society, and he too can travel in style. After all, with the millions of cars on the road today, your chances of getting a ride in a Cadillac or a new Camaro are really pretty good. That really beats the old junker you’ve got sitting at home which probably has more springs coming through the seat than it has cubic inches under the hood.

Now that you have a ride, the most interesting part of the adventure yet re­ mains — becoming acquainted with the people you’re riding with. Generally speak­ ing, young and middle-aged men are the most inclined to pick up hitchhikers, al­ though there are no hard and fast rules.

From my personal experiences, I have learned that their personalities vary as 44

much as their physical features. You may encounter a quiet individual who says little more than “hello” and “good-by,” and the next person doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut. This guy has the answers to everything: how the Packers can have a better season, how the campus demonstra­ tions should be put down, and why Nixon should pull out of Viet Nam. He’ll tell you about his close calls in the Army twenty years ago and the college pranks he used to pull. These fellows are often salesmen who spend many hours a day on the road, and they want nothing more than someone to talk to. Many times, if you prove your­ self to be a tolerable companion, they will offer to buy you a drink or take you all the way to your destination.

Thus far the game of hitchhiking has been portrayed as a carefree, adventurous, and almost romantic type of experience.

To end the description on a completely op­ timistic note would not be fair. Police across the nation have been trying to clamp down on hitchhiking because of the serious crimes stemming directly or indirectly from the practice of thunvr ng for a ride.

Therefore, just as the ur-k taking of any adventure is serious busi: . so hitchhik­ ing must be played acco <•; to the rules and with discreet caution

old adage “haste makes waste” is acquiring a new and foreboding signifi­ cance in our modern era. Man is just be­ ginning to experience the awesome effects of over-zealous application of technological advances. For example, DDT has been heralded for many years as an effective chemical agent for insect control. Yet only recently has man reaped the fruits of large-scale DDT usage — a noticeable de­ crease in certain species of birds due to thin-shelled eggs caused by DDT residue in their dietary sources, pollution of lakes and water supplies by DDT, and the loss of available food sources for man, such as 28,150 pounds of coho salmon from Lake Michigan which were seized in March, 1969 by the Food and Drug Administra­ tion because of DDT residues in the fish.

All this despite a warning of the DDT men-

ace eight years ago by Rachel Carson in Silent Spring.

Not only is man blindly ruining his en­ vironment, but he has also directly dam­ aged himself. In 1961 thousands of arm­ less, legless, earless, and otherwise mal­ formed babies were bom as the result of an insufficiently tested drug — thalidomide, and as the 1970’s begin, man finds himself faced with another evil which has been accumulating through the years and now threatens the very “breath of life” — air pollution.

Although man continues to encounter new problems resulting from the over-hasty and often selfish application of technolog­ ical developments, his practical experi­ ences of the past appear to have by-passed an impending disaster for the future — nu­ clear power plants. While harnassing the atom for the production of electrical power seems to offer a solution to the rapid deple­ tion of natural coal and oil deposits, the nuclear reactor could become the greatest pollutor of all time.

In June, 1968 there were 15 commer­ cial nuclear power plants operating with­ in the United States and accounting for 1% of our current output. Since then plans have been laid by the government to in­ crease this number so that nuclear power plants will provide 25% of our current out­ put by 1980 and 50% by 2000. Most of these new reactors will have an electrical output which is far greater than any pre­ viously attempted by scientists or engin­ eers. Thus they actually represent a gigan­ tic nuclear experiment which has a good possibility of backfiring.

For those who are unacquainted with nuclear reactors, the electrical output of a nuclear reactor is generated by steam-pow­ ered turbines. The heat generated by the splitting of atoms is transferred via a li­ quid coolant (such as liquid sodium) to a heat-exchange system in which the heat is used to boil water, thereby producing steam for the turbines. Unfortunately there is also an undesirable by-product gen­ erated by a reactor — radioactive wastes and contaminated fuel assemblies. For ex­ ample, the strontium 90 alone from a mod­ est reactor (100-200 megawatts, such as those currently in use throughout the Unit­ ed States ) after a six month operating peri­ od equals the amount produced by a bomb 46

190 times more powerful than the one drop­ ped on Hiroshima.

Now granted that nuclear reactors do not explode like a bomb, the possibility of leakage resulting from a rupture of the re­ actor mechanism does exist. A natural force like an earthquake or a tornado has sufficient power to effect such a rupture.

On the other hand, defects in workman­ ship could lead to the failure of the cooling system or the overheating of a reactor. In either case the fuel could melt, recongeal, and form “puddles” which could reach critical mass and explode, releasing radio­ active particles into the air.

It has been estimated that such a cal­ amity would kill people up to a distance of 15 miles, injure people within a range of 45 miles, and contaminate about 50,000 square miles of land. A more concrete ex­ ample occurred October 10, 1957 when the Number One Pile (reactor) at Windscale Works in England malfunctioned and con­ taminated milk and growing food-stuffe over a 400 square mile area. How did this happen? All of the reactors safeguards failed.

In spite of its lack of experi • :e and the dangers inherent in nuclear .ctors, the government continues to pJa; igger reactors for the future — 31 new <•* are under construction averaging 7r mega­ watts in output and 42 additional s are being drawn up with an average « ut of 832 megawatts. In addition, privr* enter­ prise, sanctioned by the governm con­ tinues to build near large popular,. cen­ ters in order to keep transmission costs at a minimum. One company eve- plan­ ned to build a reactor near San Francisco on the site of a known geographical fault.

Hence, once again man is rushing for­ ward with little practical experience into an area which could have serious reper­ cussions, while the individual sits idly by, complacent in his trust in man’s techno­ logical capabilities. But despite this sophis­ ticated technology, the atomic-powered sub U.S.S. Thresher disappeared in April, 1963 with a full crew, and on November 9, 1965 a large portion of the northwestern United States was blacked-out by a power failure.

To prevent future oversights such as these, it is up to the individual to be on guard lest the myth of the peaceful atom explode.

Actually, we have many choices. But one of our most important decisions concerns what we will be—and what we will do—during our lifetime. • If we concentrate on becoming important, we dissipate our energy in keeping track of how we are doing. • But if we choose instead to do important work—to make a real contribution—we con­ centrate on the task.

What is new now, cannot rein . i new.

■ * The modern age will pass v. what is now modem appears hideous, r.in. ulous, or plain ancient. Every aspect o ie en­ counters these style changes whit >> affect its mode of development. The average American experiences this change in his work, the television he watches, the art he appreciates, and the way he spends his leisure time.

It is to this change in art that i would like to narrow your attention. The type of art with the most innovations and drastic changes is the widely discussed, almost controversial “pop art.” The beginning of the 1960’s marked the establishment of pop art. But pop art isn’t so much an establish­ ment as it is a constant turnover in con­ cepts and media.

Today’s artists do not confine them­ selves to paint brushes, chisels, canvas, and stone, but add to these the imagination and width of the world.

Technology weaves its way into art, supplying sound, lighting, and movement to previously inert pieces of plaster, can-

vas, or stone.

One school of artists today proposes art as an environment. Only when the art piece is inhabited or the “observer” is in some way affecting or altering the piece, is the structure complete.

Another more firmly established group of pop artists (I should better say it is a changing group which has enjoyed popu­ larity.) looks at the objects around them and will alter them little, if at all, in their reproductions.

Still another goes out of its way, ig­ nores the objects immediately at hand, and uses the human figure. When these “lyri­ cal abstractionists” sculpt, cast, paint, or use any of the hundreds of new methods, the final product usually turns out to be realistic. Yet at the same time it can be intellectual, erotic, macabre, sensuous, and, yes, even funny.

Modern art goes modern not only in thought, but also in media. Wind, gas, fire, electricity, movement, and even smoke provide the means of the modern artist’s abstract expressionism, lyri.-d abstraction, or lyrical colorism. A Bu: ;1 a artist has a love for shrouding ob; He used a million square feet of poly;- -bene plas­ tic to cover a small Ausi. inlet near Sydney. Anything infiat i banner, or even a kite is liable to b “art.”

While the pop painter easel uses his brush, his oils have ;ed. He no longer depends on his old : bard colors, but technology has created . ;<im a new water base acrylic paint • w.icft heightens his abstractions.

Two years ago pop painting was strict lyrical colorism. Now it has taken a more “personal” nature. The artist wants to show the viewers that his art isn’t a tech­ nologically made work, but a hand painted work on which a man put the finishing touches. These “decorative” works are readily noticed by such crude methods as the leaving of finger, hand, and spray gun marks on the canvas, or by a much subtler and ingenious one: letting the paint slowly trickle down the edge of the canvas.

The woodcuts, sculptures, and fine oils of ages past related the beauty of their times. Today, an inhabited yarn hut, a lawn mower with its blades speckled green, or a thin piece of cardboard express the modem beauty of a fast-moving world.

Beethoven’s mightiest vocal composi­ tion, Missa Solemnis, was presented on May 16 & 17 at Milwaukee’s Perfuming Arts Center by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra together with the Bei Canto Chorus. Cast in five sections, following the traditional form of the mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei), Missa Solemnis effectively combines orchestra, soloists and chorus into an expressive en­ tity capable of portraying a wide range of moods from the tremendous fugal coda of the Credo to the somber, meditative Sanc­ tus section. In his treatment of the solo­ ist sections, Beethoven departed from tra­ dition and did not employ any lengthy arioso sections. Instead he uses the group of four soloists as a sort of chamber chor­ us which is set off against the larger “tutti” chorus.

Listening to this massive composition was truly a majestic and thrilling exper­ ience, and although the orchestra tended to overpower the Bel Canto Chorus, the excellent handling of Beethoven’s demand-

THOUGHTS OF PART Jr 3 Soon we must say farewell, For the time for parting is at hand Many years of memories remain That never will fade away.

Happiness was not a constant thing.

But sorrow was only a passing glance.

Friends we made to last for life.

And enemies there too must be.

Many complaints we have expressed And far too few the praises were.

The good, the bad, have both come and gone, For nothing is all one.

But yet we know these years Have been for us the best, And in the time to come We shall look back again To wish that we might return To these happy, golden memories of days gone by.

The NWC Curriculum A member of the faculty curriculum committee, Prof. Panning, led a student discussion on the topic of the existing cur­ riculum and possible changes for the cur­ riculum of the upcoming year. Two other committee members were also present.

Prof. Schroeder and Prof. Sullivan.

The general objectives of the curricu­ lum at Northwestern College are as fol­ lows: It offers instruction that aims to ac­ quaint the student with the Bible and its doctrine; it offers instruction that aims to provide the student with an understanding of sinful man for whom the Word is in­ tended; and it offers instruction that aims to provide the student with the skills neces­ sary for communicating the Word of God. This committee of eight men, mostly department heads, has been meeting for two hours every week since November. In this time they have discus--d much, but decided little. They have ci issed the se­ h is having quence of current courses religion follow a chronolo •;?! sequence instead of the present so, In the chronological sequence th . estament would be studied in the >.:nan year; New Testament, in the : more year; Symbolics and the John re: in the jun­ ior year; and Acts and Cc ans, in the senior year. They also tat.-. out mov­ ing down required corns the lower levels for more electives in : junior and senior year. In discussing electives they talked about reducing the number of re­ quired electives in order to remain a liberal arts college.

In the student discussion many things concerning changes that students desired were also discussed. A study in sociology is needed, but we must also avoid social gospel. Sociology is now being taught in­ directly in certain history and literature courses. Streamlining the curriculum by condensing certain courses and lowering the number of hours required for other courses was considered. Freshman English may be shortened to one semester to make room for a semester of speech in the junior year.

take precautions to make sure every stu­ dent is represented. This task is then com­ pounded by the problem of scheduling remedials for the courses that they missed in high school. This committee deserves much credit for the long hours it has spent in trying to develop a curriculum which will meet the needs of every one of us.

The Forum — 1970 -1971 The Forum is hopefully looking for­ ward to a successful school year in 70-71.

New Forum President Pete Kruschel is al­ ready looking for directors for next year’s monthly productions. Tentatively he has directors lined up from September through February, and is still searching for some­ one to handle the March presentation and any other production the Forum wishes to present. Pete plans on securing a mailing list of incoming Frosh and wants to send them information about the Forum’s plans for next year. The local literary league plans to open the season with a comedy, hopefully the likes of this year’s farce, to create interest and to get the society on its collective feet. Forum’s answer to the Christmas Concert, its own Song Service, is at this writing tentatively planned to be held twice just before the Christmas recess.

Pres Pete is already contemplating plays for the next final, thinking a “name” play most favorable. The Forum invites all stu­ dents to become active in the organization next school year.

THE FORUM SOCIETY

In that hour and a half meeting students were able to seek out the views of the candidates and at the same time express their own views on campus issues. The meeting was a new idea in campus government which was greatly appreciated by the students. Al­ though many were unable to attend, a sm-

From this discussion it was seen that the faculty curriculum committee does not have an easy task. The committee must 57

cere desire was expressed that events of this nature continue to be scheduled in the future.

On Thursday, May 1, students were giv­ en opportunities to vote at both the noon and evening meals. With 88% of the col­ legiate student body turning out at the polls, it can easily be seen that there is a definite interest in student government.

When the ballots were tallied it was an­ nounced that Bob Gurgel had come through in the close competition.

Bob has our vote of confidence to carry out many fine ideas for a better campus life.

SPORTS BASEBALL The Trojan baseball team, led by Ed Pieper, had another fine year. The) closed out their season with a respectable 7-5 re­ cord. In conference play the team was 3-3.

The rough early season schedule may have hurt the Trojan’s conference hopes, since they lost a double header to eventual cham­ pion Milton only five days after the season got under way. After those losses, the Tro­ jans compiled a 7-1 record. A chance for an even better season was lost when five games at the end of the year had to be cancelled due to bad weather.

The team has a batting average of .253, as compared with their opponents’ .231.

Kieth Kuschel had his usual great year at the plate, hitting .341 with 3 HR’s and 10 RBI’s. Roger Schultz, top pitcher last sea­ son, was troubled by injuries to his throw­ ing arm but still led the team in batting.

Schultz hit .460 and had 9 RBI’s. Other hitters who had good years were: Steve Ehlke-.36l with 8 stolen bases and 8 RBI’s; 58

Johnny May-.300; and John Schmidt-.286.

In the pitching department, George Swanson was superb. George started four games and won all of them. He gave up only four runs, none of them earned, and struck out more than one man for every inning pitched. Denny Lemke had a 2-3 record, but had a good 3.24 ERA and pitch­ ed more innings than anyone else on the staff. Schultz finished with a 1-2 record in four starts. The pitchers’ fine showing in the later games was aided by a fine in­ field, which turned in many good plays.

Rog Schultz tossed a one-hit shutout in the first game. He was supported with only three hits by his mates, but they re­ sulted in three runs, and much more than Schultz needed. Schultz struck out 16 of the Moors in the seven-inning game.

Denny Lemke followed Schultz’s fine performance with his own four-hitter. Gurgel, May, and Kuschel each got two hits.

NWC had a rougher time than antici­ pated before defeating its cross-town rival.

Chuck Learman started for the Trojans but had problems with his control. Swanson relieved him, pitched four innings in which he gave up one unearned run, and received credit for the victory. There were fifteen hits for Northwestern. Among the many heros in this slugfest were Bob Gurgel with three RBI’s and John May with three hits.

Lakeland countered with a walk, a sacrifice, and an error to tie the game. Then Swanson shut the door, giving up only two harmless sing­ les. His teammates were meanwhile ad­ ding single runs in the fourth and sixth innings to make the final score 3-1.

MARANATHA 2

The men from Maranatha returned to avenge the earlier defeat which they had suffered at the hands of the Trojans. In the return match, however, they could get only five hits off ol’ Denny Lemke. They scored in the first on a double, a hit batter, and two singles. Northwestern couldn’t score for the first three innings. In the fourth, a walk, a fielder’s choice, a hit bat­ ter and a wild pitch enabled Northwestern to score two runs and tie the game without even using a hit. The game remained scoreless and went into extra innings.

While Lemke held Maranatha at bay, the Trojans scored three in the r.th to win.

They did it on an error and h 's by Schultz and Ehlke. Ehlke had three is and two RBI’s for NWC.

GOLF Northwestern’s golf team completed its first winning season in history this spring.

The team, coached by Don Sellnow, finish­ ed 10-8 in match play. They also took fourth place in the abbreviated conference tourney. In the Lakeland Invitational they came in behind fourteen other schools, but many of them were large universities like Marquette, Loyola, and UWM. Against such competition, John Stellick tied for fifth place with 79.

Northwestern erupted foi i\e big runs in the top of the first inning against Beloit’s Stan Whippie. After Gurgei and Kuerth had walked, Kuschel singled. Ehlke then walked and scored on Rog Schultz’s hom­ er. Beloit’s pitcher must have breathed a sigh of relief when that was over, but our men didn’t rest on their laurels. In the second Kuschel home red, Ehlke singled, Schultz doubled and May singled. Result: 8-0. The Trojans added one more run in the fourth and then let Swanson preserve their big lead. Schultz drove in five of the nine runs, and Kuschel “only” three. Beloit’s two runs off Swanson in the eighth were unearned and futile. Swanson turned in another sparkling mound job. He walked only one, struck out 12 and allowed only two hits.

TRACK Another sport has been added to the catalog of varsity sports at NWC, and from the looks of things, it is here to stay. Tutor Eric Hartzell guided the team in its first season and did a creditable job. In some meets, the Tutor, who takes some classes at NWC, competed with and defeated his charges. The team surprised everyone (in­ cluding Coach Umnus) by scoring some thirty points in its first meet. In later meets they pushed that total to over fifty. The thinclads’ finest hour came in the confer­ ence track meet. Jim Ruppel took a fifth in the mile. Phil Lehmann placed fourth in the two mile. Don Thompson had a third in the 880. Pete Berg set a confer­ ence record of 13 ft. in the pole vault. Pete also took second in the high hurdles and fourth in the low hurdles. Glen Thompson was easily the best athelete in the meet.

Thompson racked up two firsts, two sec­ onds, and one third-place medal. Congrat­ ulations to all who put in so much effort to make the first track team a success.

Northwestern’s tennis squad was con­ stantly inconvenienced by the weather, but proved to be up to the challenge whenever they were able to play. The team, coached

by Jim Schuppenhauer, was beaten sound­ ly by only two teams, Lakeland and the UW-Green Bay. The team’s final record was 7-5. Depth proved to be a valuable weapon when Scott Stone turned an ankle with two matches yet to be played. Both Alan Eckert and Paul Hartwig came off the sidelines to win in Scott’s position. NWC’s netmen will lose only two men to gradu­ ation; Jim Schuppenhauer, who should be congratulated for his coaching job, and A1 Eckert. In the conference tournament, on­ ly three teams showed up. Due to incle­ ment weather, the meet was held indoors.

When our weary men returned to NWC at 4 A.M. they brought back nine secondplace medals, since everyone beat their Mt. St. Paul players, but lost to Lakeland play­ ers in the finals.

INTRAMURAL SOCCER Another new wrinkle in NWC’s spring sports outlook was the intramural soccer league under its commissioner, Piet Reid.

The league was composed of seven teams, consisting of either 11 collegiates or 11 preps. The championship was won by Rich Kogler’s crew. Rich’s team was made up of Aderman, Adrian, Breitkreutz, Dudley, Hahnke, Jahnke, Oldfield, Rath, Rathje, Siegel, Swartz, and Ziesemer. Dale Tollefson’s men finished l/z game behind the champs.

provements. The accomplishments of the Tertia class are an excellent example of what can be done by working with a pos­ itive and progressive attitude. They have set the ground work for the establishment of a student council for the Prep Depart­ ment and have set up an annual Tertia class trip. Members of the college have also organized a track team and an intra­ mural soccer team. These things weren’t done by students saying, “It can’t be done here,” but by students actively supporting and working for their ideas.

The faculty has also begun work on changing our curriculum. To be sure, these discussions were not begun with the atti­ tude that nothing was wrong and nothing could be done to improve the courses here.

Rather, as many students have learned from their professors and the recent stu­ dent-faculty discussion, many innovations have been considered and some will be im­ plemented as soon as possible.

Students, take note of this change and stop complaining! It’s easy to talk, but it’s much better to act. Let’s see some positive and progressive action. If things are done with a positive attitude, more than often they can be accomplished. Nothing is ever accomplished by someone who quits and complains that it’s impossible to do any­ thing here.

Positivism is a definite asset on any col­ lege campus or in any society. Are you J.E.W. such an asset?

We see as hypocrisy the extravagant celebration of Christmas when there is no peace on earth. So 'ur group feels it is time for a Christmas boycott. We are not going to buy presents this year, nor a we going to receive them. We will do without dec- ations, and may be fasting on Christmas day instead of feasting.

Instead of spending, we will work for peace on earth by giving our money to help make amends for the suf­ fering we have caused - such as by financially adopt­ ing a Vietnamese child, and by giving our time to stop the war. We are calling for people to put peace back in Christmas - what better way to observe the birth of Christ than to bring an end to the war this year?

-•

.

-

We are counting on college groups to do most of the local work. Here are some possible approaches for organizing the boycott: 1. Contact local clergy - many should be receptive to taking commercialism out of Christmas and put­ ting peace back in.

2. Organize picket lines at department stores and shopping centers.

66

3. Do guerilla theater on the sidewalk in front of large stores. Dramatize the horrors of war or the contradictions in the thinking of the military.

4. Leaflet at high schools, train stations, churches

FfflH-fajPa 'tt,

and shopping centers.

5. Urge fellow students not to go home for vacation unless their parents agree to participate in the boycott.

We would welcome any criticisms and suggestions readers might hr,' e of this proposal.

Westport Citizens for Peace P. 0. Box 207 Saugatuck Station Westport, Conn. 06880 Jesus tells us in His Word: ‘These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27) ‘Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1) May we pray that the gift of the Holy Ghost come upon us that we may receive the King of Peace at the festival of His birth. May the vain quest for world peace by humanity make us ever mindful of the peace of God and awake compassion in the heart of every one of us to tell the world that Jesus the Son of God has sacrificed himself to put the whole world at peace with our Father in heaven.

Who is there among vc does not oppose war? Who does n»,; " ant world peace? Why shouldn’t a Cl. , uian be re­ ceptive to taking commerc. .Jism out of Christmas? Don’t we all sec the extrava­ gant celebration of Christmas as hypocrisy when so many thousands are suffering the pains of war and hunger? The point is that it would be very simple for us to agree with the rest of humanity and to join hands in an effort to achieve world peace. How­ ever, again this year real peace will be obscured. Millions of people will listen to the vain wishes for world peace as they are expressed so often over the radio and tele­ vision and in the press. The heaven-born hymn of the angel hosts will be beamed across the heavens by the mellow voices of radio announcers again this holiday sea­ son.

Psalm 34 says: “Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” Why don’t those who are so dedicated to peace seek it where it is to be found? The Lord

Legalized Pot? TAT hy smoke pot? “It gives you a great ■ ■ feeling. You can appreciate art, mus­ ic and nature much better. It heightens your perceptive powers and gives you a chance to do your own thing. It helps you escape the pressures of this complex world.”

Aren’t there any bad effects from smok­ ing pot? “No, absolutely not! Politicians and medical scientists have tried to scare us for years. First they said pot was a nar­ cotic and addicting, but now their tune is somewhat changed. They still have been trying to scare us, but through scientific research it has been found that pot is not a narcotic nor is it a hallucinogen as LSD but might more likely be called a ‘euphor­ iant’. No proof can be found that smoking pot will cause any harmful physical re­ sults.”

Should we legalize pot? “Yes, why not?

Why should something that has no adverse effect on the user or society be prohibited by law? They tried prohibition of alcohol in the thirties and that failed. All it led to was an increase in organized crime. If pot were legalized, the government could con­ trol the sale and quality of pot sold to the public.”

'•}

The preceding questions and answers are being put before the public today as an answer to our problem of marijuana — legalize it. Such propositions have begun to appear in national news magazines and are being stated by members of President­ ial committees studying drug abuse as the only true solution. If our society continues to deteriorate and cast aside all laws and regulations, we may see in the near future the legalization of marijuana. If this does happen, what should be the Christian’s re­ sponse to the use of pot? Right now under present laws we realize that as Christians we should not break the law by smoking pot. However, if it is legalized, then is it all right? This is a question we will have to decide in view of God’s Word. Do we need marijuana to cop-out when the pres­ sures of this world seem too great for us, or can we turn to Christ in prayer? “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matt.

11:28) Can pot offer us a lasting rest 68

which Christ offers or just a momentary escape? Another question we should ask is whether or not the use of pot glorifies God in our body. As St. Paul says in I Cor­ inthians 6:19-20: “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? . . . therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” Only after a diligent study of God’s Word and its effect upon our Christ­ ian life can we determine whether pot as a ‘euphoriant’ is permissible in our life.

J.E.W.

The Solid Middle HPoday it seems one must be either radical right or left; one must be “into” some kind of movement to be “in” a social group.

All that I wish to say is that J am sickened both by the revolutionary and he reaction­ ary; by the Weathermen S .‘3, and the Black Panthers; and by the • Klux Klan and John Birch Society. The eathermen and Black Panthers are dele: led to tear down a society (ours) with w- h they can­ not cope, while the Bird have con­ demned from time to time e hing from long sideburns to the late P: lent Eisen­ hower. (As for the Klan at need be said?)

Obviously, neither of tlu factions is U.S. of A. doing a great deal to help i remain or become strong, beautiful, etc. I think this is where we should come in, as the solid middle. I’m not speaking of Nix­ on’s silent majority; I’m speaking of us as Christians, as the vocal moderation our country so gravely needs. It is for us to take that dangerous position of fencestanders or middle-grounders, by pointing out to those both on the left and the right that there is some merit to the arguments of their opposition and that there is much which is wrong on their side of the fence.

Only when, and if, we are able to convince people to love more and hate less will the U.S. again begin an upswing.

Personally, I am afraid that our land is already too factionalized to achieve any peaceful compromise of philosophy. And yet, we are committed to the attempt for moderation and to preaching the doctrine

then and our contentment found through the love of Christ we might accomplish what the Christians at times did in the an­ cient empire of Rome. Namely this, that the heathen may see our contentment and attempt to emulate the life we lead in achieving this same Christian satisfaction.

M.F.

of Christian love, at a time when it is much easier to choose a side.

It is probably too much to expect that by our efforts the whole country will be­ come a haven of moderation; however, by the love we show toward one another and toward others we may become the neces­ sary leaven for our land. By our example.

Portrait of a Professor

paring to be ministers in the Lord’s ser­ vice.

In the area of teaching, Professor Fricke has fine credentials and experience.

He taught at Bethany Lutheran College before he entered the Seminary at Mequon as well as at Michigan Lutheran Seminary, as was previously mentioned. Before start­ ing to teach at Michigan Lutheran Semin­ ary, though, he became a student again, this time at Michigan State University, where he earned his master’s degree in teaching.

Professor James Fricke has returned to his alma mater to be professor of Ger­ man and English after having been away from Northwestern since his graduation from here in 1950. However, this is not his first time back to Watertown since his graduation, for he served as pastor at St. Mark’s for six years until 1962. While he enjoyed being professor of English, Latin, and Religion at Michigan Lutheran Sem­ inary, he was elated to accept the call here to Northwestern, because he enjoys work­ ing directly with young men who are pre69

Professor Fricke feels that Northwest­ ern has changed much since he was a stu­ dent here. He feels that the school spirit leaves much to be desired and that the stu­ dent body is not as tightly knit as it should be. Professor Fricke is a man who is ready to listen to new ideas and who will “tell it like it is” both in and out of the classroom.

In this way he is another fine addition to the faculty and to Northwestern College.

Welcome back, Professor Fricke, and may the Lord bless your professorship here at Northwestern.

Professor Fricke is also a family man.

He married Nancy Kopplin in 1955, and since then they have been blessed with four children who range in age from four­ teen to five years old and whose names are Debra, Thomas, Betsy, and Joseph. He al­ so has outside interests — such as sports and music — in which he participated while being a student here at Northwest­ ern. In the field of sports he played foot­ ball, basketball, and baseball; and in the field of music he played the organ and pi­ ano for chapel services as well as being a member of chorus.

'Kejoice in tie JLod "The Lord is in His Dwelling Place, and the people all draw near, With eyes turned up and their faces up, With their cars they want to hear.

But the words aren’t God’s, they’re the words of men.

Full of hate and doubt and fear.

In God’s temple, men are starving on the words they want to hear.”

•

The papacy, ecumenicalism, social gospelism, humanitarianism, new moral­ ity, love, drugs, anti-war, anti-government, anti-anything — “this world’s such a mess!

Man, there’s just gotta be an escape.

Church?! Hah! You have ta be kiddin’!

That went out with the horse-and-buggy and so did Christ. Besides, all that those ‘Jesus freaks’ of the pulpit tell ya is that you’re damned and forget that noise. Life is here to enjoy and I ain’t gonna let no­ body tell me different.”

Sound strange to you? Open and re­ bellious sin is what it’s called. Now you may ask yourself, how in the world could someone so deliberately and knowingly hit God in the face? This summer approx­ imately 75 Lutheran Collegians and syn­ odical campus students found the answer while working in the employ of the Lord at seven congregations located in the in­ ner core of Milwaukee. Here they had the God-given privilege and command to go 70

out and reach those faltering cn the way and bring back others who b >:1 already buried themselves in the rubb of their own reasoning. It was a place ' re police sirens lulled children to sk; at night, where murder, adultery, and mication bred themselves into big mone .sinesses.

With bulging eyes, looks of dis^ and qui­ vering voices we viewed these ■ :its. Men, like animals, were groping uund for something to hang onto, for so- thing to place their hopes in. “How ful they were!” This first impression was changed immediately after we were rein hided that we too commit those sins everyday. Per­ haps a hundred times more than those “of the street”’ could commit outwardly. And we dared to look down on them? We were sent there as ambassadors of Christ to sooth the people’s pangs of sorrow, grief, and despair — not to shake the head and point the finger. We were to be armed with the sword of the Gospel. We were to evangelize.

For this to be done effectively and suc­ cessfully, training sessions were set up at our seminary, where we were also housed for the three-week duration of the program.

The co-ordinators were Pastor Gary Schroeder of St. Philip’s Church and seminarian Rich Stadler, who helped to show us that there’s a true child-like joy in the work of the Lord. It’s a joy that militates against

growth and finally, will wither away to be­ come a necessity only when he feels he needs it. We must live Christianity. It’s not a forced thing, yet it does not come naturally, for out of the hearts of men pro­ ceed murders, adulteries, and all manner of evils. How then does it come? Answer: through a deeper understanding of the Scriptures. Churches today, as was point­ ed out by the preceding verse, are too so­ cial minded. They forget that there are only two religions in the world — God’s and man’s — and they erroneously try to com­ bine the two when Scripture clearly warns, “He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that gathereth not with Me, scattereth abroad (Matt. 12:30).” No wonder the people of the Inner-Core and all over the world for that matter, are “turned off” by “religion." I would be too if I went to church and had been promised through the social gospel that things would get better and then pick up a newspaper, all the while breathing a sigh of despair. This situation formed the basis for our motive.

Why did 75 guys and girls give up some of their summer’s pay for such a cause? They didn’t receive honor and praise for it, rather opposition and hatred.

Yes, but they found their Strength and Joy, Comfort and Assurance in Christ, the We were trained and v eted in four Greatest Evangelist.

It is a joy that gives you the power to “love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you. . . (Matt.

5:44).” It is not a secret joy, but some­ thing inside of you that all the shackles and bonds of sin cannot restrain. A daily joy that must show itself in every situation, in every problem that the devil, the world, and our flesh poses to us. Evangelism is joy. Evangelism is salesmanship. We sold Christ. This is not to say that we offered Him on a free introductory trial basis, where one tries Him for a year when the need arises and then chucks Him in the corner of the closet. Not the type of mer­ chandise where installments of good works must be made or the “purchaser” will lose it. But selling in the sense that we were totally and -personally sold on our message; sold on Christ Thus, it goes without say­ ing that to be a good salesman one must all the more make his product his life. You must be 100% sold on . for if you show the least bit of doubt or you have lost a customer — fore\ • strategy of the opposition must al • studied, so you’ll better be able to vour clients wherein such “false ack. ing” lies.

a child or an old man of 90, it is a soul.

Some of us have the very mistaken notion that we must wait until we graduate from NWC, Sem, DMLC, Lutheran high schools, or some other school before we can gather enough “information and experience” to tell others of Christ. Right now, if not sooner, is the time. Are we too busy or lacking in time to make a daily appoint­ ment with God? Isn’t He indeed the per­ son who has given us that time and ex­ pects, rightfully so, an accounting of it when He calls us to Himself? If we are so minded, God will be “too busy” to care for us.

We should indeed thank God for such opportunities and make use of them to the utmost of our abilities. Milwaukee is a drop in the bucket when compared to the world’s population, but just within a threeweek period (actually one week because the last two were spent in teaching VBS) tremendous, wonderful, soul-reviving things happened. In an area of Milwau­ kee which contains not even 1/5 of its total population, 8,821 homes were contacted with 5,461 of the occupants being home.

Of this number 1,420 adult prospects were uncovered and 2,338 children ■ ere regis­ tered for VBS. The shocking umber of 2,932 told us that these souls d not yet been taken into His fold through he Sacra­ ment of Baptism. What do yc. eel about this? Are these figures mere umbers to you? They shouldn’t bel The are souls of dying people, dying a death worse than death.

Now those three inspiring weeks are past history. We all returned home; some to school, others to our jobs — everybody resolving to return next summer and find the same joy in evangelism. If that is the way some may have felt about it, their work is in vain. Evangelism and steward­ ship have no bounds. The Lord tells and commands us to get out there — eveywhere — and preach the Word, not just during the summer, not only to unbelievers, but also to the believers so that we all come to partake of that lasting, heavenly joy.

Why? Because we want to do His work and our love should show that everyday.

How? By living Christ and not “hiding” Him from others. When ? Everyday.

Where? At home, at school, everywhere.

sharing Him with everyone. How can we help not doing this for our Lord!!

The disease of sin runs rampant in the world, claiming more lives than does any other bodily disease. Are you ready to take up your cross and bear it or are you going to be a Christian “sola in nomine”?

"Will you take Him as your Savior?

Will you take Him as your Friend?

Will you set yourself behind you, and accept whom God did send?

Will you see the truth of die worm inside and the hole you cannot mend?

Will you let the Lord God of Israel take control of you, my friend?”

Growing Up Goodness

Both of the verses used are a part of the worker devotion songs which we used throughout the program. They have a mes­ sage for us who think going to a Christian college, membership in a Lutheran church, and/or being baptized is “Christianity enough.” Personally, my experiences this summer showed me how far short of the goal of Christianity I fell. It is something you have to work at daily. You have to make it a part of yourself. It gave me a dimension — a dimension that should have been there but wasn’t — o- he Christian’s relation to his Lord; one of joy. How will you answer all these quo . • s? Will you say with the poet, 'Tej, I want Him as my Savior, Yes, I want Him as my friemi: I will set myself behind n and accept whom God did send!

Oh, I see die truth of the worm inside and the hole I cannot mend!

May die Lord God of Israel take control of me. Amen."

The Seniors were given first choice, and the Juniors drew lots for the remaining spaces. More parking spaces will be made available when the gymnasium nears completion.

After many years of hoping, North­ western was finally building a new gymna­ sium which would be a beautiful addition to the campus and would help to encourage athletic activities as a whole.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held last June, while the actual construc­ tion began in July, when more than two weeks were spent removing dirt to pre­ pare the site. The construction is now mov­ ing along quite smoothly with only a few changes from the original plan. One such change is that the south lobby is being en­ larged to provide more room where con­ gestion is likely to occur. In addition, terrazzo flooring is to be installed in certain

All-College Scholarship Winners One hundred Lutheran young people will enroll in colleges and universities of their choice this fall under the Aid Associ­ ation for Lutherans (AAL) All-College Scholarship Program.

They have been selected on the basis of academic achievement in high school, extracurricular activities, SAT scores and other factors. The scholarships range from $200 to $1,750, and are renewable for three years if academic achievement is satisfac­ tory.

Since the program originated in 1965, AAL has provided more than $1 million to 500 college students from throughout the United States, Canada and several foreign countries. This fall 100 more will benefit — 99 students from 25 slat . ^nd one from Malasia.

During the 1969-70 ,-col year, 389 students received about 8300,000 through the AAL All-College Schole -hip Program.

This program is one of the largest privately sponsored scholarship programs in the Un­ ited States, according to the Educational Testing Service, Princeton N.J., which ad­ ministered the competition.

Thirty-two of the students have cho­ sen to enroll at Lutheran colleges or uni­ versities. That makes about 120 who will be attending Lutheran schools under the All-College Scholarship Program during the coming year.

This competition is only one part of AAL’s fraternal benevolence program, which last year released $1.4 million in educational grants and aids.

You'll buy life insurance eventually. Why not now when you'll save a bundle?

Education isn’t all academic matters. It’s smart to give some thought now to matters outside the ivied walls . . . such as life insurance. Why now? Because you can never buy at a lower rate than today . . . and that rate remains the same for the length of the contract. Also, your present good health will allow you to establish certain options that guarantee your ability to buy additional insurance in the future even if poor health should come your way. And life insur-

ance is actually a savings account that builds steadily in cash value through the years . . . money which you may need to pay off college debts, to put your new bride in a home of your own, or to set yourself up in business. A good friend to help you with your life insurance plans is the Aid Association for Lutherans representative. A fellow Lutheran, he puts it all together for you in a meaningful way. It’s all a part of our common concern for human worth.

The excuse committee has apparently been suffering the past few years from lack of far-fetched excuses to consider. Only three tutorial members, in any event, re­ main on that highly prestigious judicial board. There’s no cause for alarm, how­ ever; we’ve lost a tutor but gained two profs in our midst, and six resident assis­ tants (RAS) are presumably now dwelling amongst the “West Hall Bunch.”

The Search for Authority A

. ••

those in the over-thirties generation who view with dismay the protests, riots and bombings of the defiant generation, the question frequently arises, “What is wrong with today’s youth?” Dis­ sent purely for the sake of dissent seems to be occurring throughout the nation. But perhaps this dissent is actually a search for a moral code and standard to live by.

Rebellion in itself presents a challenge to

one aspect of life which the modern youth has rarely faced — authority.

The permissive philosophy of the past, which viewed discipline as a cruel and un­ necessary evil, is now reaping its harvest.

The rebellious youth of today are the same ones who, when they raged and had tem­ per tantrums, were rewarded with conces­ sions rather than punishment. Concern­ ing this same topic, Leo Rosten writes, “I

think many militant students are uncon­ sciously searching for adults who will act as adults — without apology or ambivalence or guilt; adults who will not be bamboozled by adolescent irrationality; adults who re­ spond with swift rebuffs to those challeng­ es to authority that are, at bottom, a test­ ing by the young of the moral confidence of their elders.” Once again < ; erience has demonstrated the truth inh . at in the Word of God : “He who spare rod hates his son, but he who loves ' -« diligent to discipline him.” (Provo .'24) For the Christian, estar 1. g authority presents no problem, si has the ultimate authority to turn t inspired Word of God. Yet this authc s of little avail among a generati > 'hich has staunchly rejected Chrisiia iorals and ethics.

But why have they rejected the religion of their parents? It is not that. the church has failed to stop war and suffering or to right the wrongs of civil and moral justice, but rather that Christians have failed to live their Christianity. Youth is especially sensitive to hypocrisy and places far more emphasis on the visible evidences of faith than on creeds and dogmas. Luther writes, “Our ability to speak or write eloquently about it (our faith) is not sufficient; rather

must our lives and our deeds testify to the truth, as we demonstrate our love and be­ stow our works of kindness on friend and foe.”

It is not sufficient merely to attend church once a week and then become an indistinguishable part of the secular world for the remainder of the week. Rather, we must daily live our faith that youth may have a clear model of responsible Christian conduct. But how many parents actually take an active interest in their child’s re­ ligious development? The first section of Luther’s Small Catechism begins with the words: “Die zehn Gebote, wie sie ein Hausvater seinem Gesinde einfaeltiglich vorhalten soil” (The Ten Commandments, as the head of the family should teach them in a simple way to his household). In so doing, Luther placed the primary responsibility with the parents, where it belongs, for St. Paul also writes that fathers should bring up their children “in the nurture and ad­ monition of the Lord.” Yet in today’s active bustling world where mothers are working in increasing numbers, parents find it diffi­ cult even to spend time with their children, much less to conduct family devotions. In­ stead they have shifted the responsibility for the religious development of their child­ ren to the church, and in particular to the pastor. As a result religion tends to be­ come a mere ritual which is soon discard­ ed by youth.

We, who possess the Word of God in its truth and purity, must assume the re­ sponsibility not only as adults, but as Christians, to guide the youth of today to the only true, immutable authority — the Bible. Let us constantly bear in mind the injunction of our Saviour: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 5:16) D.L.A.

liers rallied around Picasso’s impression­ istic metallic woman which stands, or sits, or something, in Civic Square. The statue bears little resemblance to “good old mom” and neither did the ladies. The throng of middle-class matrons roared their approv­ al of the proceedings by waving lingerie and doing other unmentionables. Other than providing free footage for the news­ reels and an entertainment break for con­ struction workers fifty stories above them, these troopers for equality accomplished little more than to jam up Randolph Street.

In practical terms, the majority of wo­ men are not fully in favor of this move­ ment. In fact, I have not yet met one that was. The one area that the movement does include, which most women agree is a just­ ifiable grievance, comes under the cate-

gory, “less wages for the same amount of labor.” Even most men can see that this is really unfair. Women can work right alongside men, doing the same job in the same amount of time, and end up with only two-thirds the amount in wages that the man receives. This particular gripe or, shall we say, discrimination, requires at­ tention, but that is not the issue at hand.

The point is, “Is the movement for wo­ men’s liberation bad?” That is, finally, “Is it unacceptable to the Christian?” Can we say it’s partially acceptable? From a pure­ ly secular standpoint, women’s liberation is just as acceptable and compatible with our countries freedoms of dissent as civil rights, anti-warism, and all the other head­ line-makers.

grievances, such as discrimination, gross inequalities, and countless other com­ plaints, these differ little in form from the many other such anti-this or-that move­ ments now in progress is this country and don’t need to be dwelt on here.

But how can a Christian react to a movement such as this? How can he judge whether it is his responsibility to take part in such a movement? Does such a move­ ment present a jeopardizing influence on his or someone else’s faith? Is it accept­ able?

Might I add that this does not limit it­ self to dealing solely with women’s liber­ ation thing, but any sort of political or so­ cial activities, commitments, and respon­ sibilities to the extent that they do not tread upon our spiritual life, or war against the doctrines of the Scriptures. Daniel taught this very important lesson when he refused to abide by that ill-inspired decree of King Darius which stated that petitions could be only asked of the king. Daniel refused to stop his daily prayer and was promptly arrested. The mir; . U in the lions’ den only underscored the f . hat it is the Christian’s duty to disassi • :te himself from any secular commitmi hat is de­ trimental to the spiritual being of himself or the church. 11 ssociation militates against any of t; ’Ci chings of the Scripture, it can only b sidered un­ acceptable by the Christine In this light, it is not tb. t to determine whether the women’s ill: . .< .ion move­ ment, or any other moveir-:'.... is in the best interest of the Word. The leaders of the liberation movement have repeatedly derided the authority of the husband in marriage, the so-called servile position of the wife in the family, and have attempted to induce wives and mothers to demand equal status in the family circle. In these few points alone, the women’s liberation movement is in diametrical opposition to God’s Word. St. Paul states in Ephesians 5:22, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.”

Whether or not this female liberation movement will have detrimental affects upon our society is an argument for the sociologists. Whether it is acceptable to the Christian is clearly evident in Scrip­ ture. Then, if it’s not all bad, it may as well be.

A Man Good for All Seasons 7\ few years ago in the forests of Michigan, one could occasionally spot this tall, intent man stalking his prey with bow and arrow. He’s been away from bow hunt­ ing, one of his favorite sports, since he moved to Milwaukee two years ago. Once again, away from the metropolis, he is looking forward to renewing his “Great White Hunter” image.

With this picture in mind, I decided to speak with Prof. Thompson. Mrs. Thomp­ son greeted me with a friendly smile, while the new lord of 803 Richards sat back in his big black easy chair. I caught a glimpse of an amiable profile, then ail three dimen­ sions of our new professor ' low his fad­ ing crewcut, his left forefing; i hid his cus­ tomarily jocund grin. This was by no means indicative of the ten- • of our dis­ cussion.

G is a Junior monitor in East Hall, Pat, i- * eldest, is in her first year of teaching afu r graduating from New Ulm. A product of the Elkhorn grade and high school system, Lloyd Thompson com­ pleted three years at Notre Dame Univer­ sity, South Bend, Indiana. After coaching winning teams for five years at Onalaska High School, he accepted a call to Michi­ gan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw and remained there as head coach for sixteen years with an admirable record of wins in both football and basketball.

During his years as a high school coach.

Prof. Thompson did post-graduate work at UW LaCrosse, Michigan State University, Central Michigan University, and UW Su­ perior, mostly in the field of science.

The autumn of 1968 found Prof.

Thompson in Milwaukee at Wisconsin Lutheran College. There he organized bas­ ketball and baseball and instructed physi­ cal education classes. But with the Synod’s 92

closing of W.L.C., he chose to accept his call to Northwestern.

This year, he, along with Coach Pieper, Is in charge of prep varsity football. Foot­ ball is Thompson’s favorite sport as far as coaching goes because, as he says, “It gives more players a chance to participate.” His other duties include college basketball, prep physical education, and college track.

In the fall a man’s fancy turns to foot­ ball. And so while the united chants of the athlete’s performing their calisthenics echo off the hospital and permeate into every comer of our campus, both students and alumni are becoming anxious to see the new, improved 1970 Umnus, currently on display on NWC’s practice field. As any­ one in the Gateway Conference knows, Northwestern may not always have the needed horses, but Coach Umnus usually takes the necessary steps to make sure that any team who plays Northwestern will get kicked around a little.

This year’s crop of gridiron hopefuls has a big task ahead of it. Many fine foot­ ball players played their last game for NWC last fall and are now fighting fall fever at the Sem. Their shoes must be filled somehow. The opposition isn’t get­ ting any easier either. Milton has a new athletic director, a new coach, and smells of new money (soon to be invested in prime Janesville beef and nifty halfback loins).

Lakeland’s athletic program broadens and surges upward with every flashing of Moose Woltzen’s Diner’s Club Wining and Dining Recruitment Card. Concordia of St. Paul now has a year of football under their hip pads and revenge for our loss to them last season won’t come easily. Con­ cordia River Forest might also have re­ venge on its mind come Homecoming.

George Swanson’s big toe kicked them right out of the ranks of the undefeated in a thriller last year. St. Procopius and Eureka usually give the Trojans a pretty good bat­ tle, and this year will be no exception. The only relatively soft touch may be Concor­ dia of Milwaukee, which is just starting football.

The Trojans scrimmaged a novice foot­ ball squad from neighboring Maranatha Baptist Bible College. The Trojans were able to move the ball almost at will in the early going and scored several quick touch­ downs. Maranatha could manage only a long bomb by Phil “Joe Maranatha” Rhodes.

Later in the mudbath Marauatha was able to contain an offensive unit composed of substitutes.

This year’s lineup shoi ' • look some­ thing like this. Rich Kogl-s Senior, re­ turns at offensive center. vc Stemhagen and Dave Palmquist n 1 the guard spots. Bob “Bubba” Bushavv ill play left Glad, Chas. tackle and our own Man fr Learmann, will attempt to an irresis­ tible force at right tackle. Ed ier, George “the Kicker” Swanson, and en Thomp­ son make up a fine stable of -.ass catchers.

Don Thompson has broken in at running back, and will team up with Mr. Versatil­ ity, Rog Schultz. Schultz may have to do a lot of passing from the shotgun this year.

Steve Ehlke, the only returning quarter­ back, is out for the rest of the season with a broken collar bone. Others who will see action on the offensive unit are: tackle Augie Ristow, guards Mike Hintz and Walt Street, ends Ed Schuppe, Igor Naumann, and Mark Toepel, halfbacks Dave Kriehn and John Gawrisch, and quarterback John “Grubby” Dolan.

On the defensive platoon, the front line is anchored by Igor Naumann, Dave Palm­ quist, Jim Seelow, Skinny Zahn, and Beck Goldbeck. Tom Haar is a fixture at MLB. The outside linebackers may be freshman Charlie Degner and Gary Warner. The bomb squad will be manned by the bird94

from the thirty. Despite repeated warn­ ings from Coach Umnus, the young Tro­ jans were burned by a back breaking 75 yard touchdown runback on the ensuing kickofF. With the deficit already 19-6, bad fortune struck again in the last play of the first half. Eureka used the home field advantage to sustain a long drive in one of the longest four minute drills in modem day football history. Halftime score: Eure­ ka 26, NWC 6.

In the second half, the only scoring came on Glen Thompson’s fifty-yard return of an intercepted pass.

After one game of the new season, it is evident that the Trojans will have a solid defensive team this year, but the success of the offense will depend on the extent to which the new line matures. Obviously, an offense cannot be finely tuned after only three weeks of work, but much hard work lies ahead for the team if it hopes to cure the plethora of offensive weakness reveal­ ed in the Eureka contest. The most encour­ aging things about this year’s team are the early fan support which has already been observed, and never-say-die attitude shown by our young defense in the Eureka game.

Several times bad breaks found our defend­ ers with their backs against the wall. They dug in and produced several fine goal line stands. j.b.s.

man Jimmy Kuehl, Roger Kuerth, and Toepel. John “Henry” Johnson and Walt Street will back up the front line.

EUREKA 26 TROJANS 13 Due to the fact that Oconomowoc Trans­ port Co. owns no coach buses any more, a curious caravan of two schoolbuses pul­ led out of Watertown at seven AM on Sep­ tember 19. It carried the hastily divided Trojan football team to Eureka College.

Whether this was just a bad omen, or whether it was actually a relevant variable which affected the outcome of the contest, none of us can determine. At any rate, the Trojans played a typical first game, char­ acterized by missed blocking assignments, interceptions, fumbles, penalties and fa­ tigue.

Eureka took the opening kickoff and marched into NWC territory, but couldn’t score. Offensive ineptitude by both squads characterized action in the first quarter.

One exception to this pattern was Eureka’s drive which ended in a touchdown run

all dealing with the environmental crisis.

In this way they hoped to turn the coun­ try’s attention to this very pressing prob­ lem.

Since then it may appear that interest in ecology has cooled off, but this is not the case. There is not as much noise made as there was on Earth Day; nevertheless, work toward a solution goes on. Many large cities are working on expanded transporta­ tion facilities. This does not mean more highways but rather modern, efficient, com­ fortable systems for mass transportation.

This would take a large percentage of the cars off the road during the working day.

The federal government is also taking steps to alleviate vehicular pollution by requiring the auto industry to develop antipollution devises for their products. At the same time the problem of industrial pollution is being examined. Much progress has al­ ready been made in the battle to catch pol­ lutants before they gel into the air. Feder­ al, state and local oftic i i are working out new regulations for th ?!isposal of sewage and waste material in. <vers, lakes, and oceans. These new ruk will require new

equipment which will return the water just as clean as when it was first used.

This is a good start, but there still are many things which must be done. There is a great need for an agency of national scale to observe the environment and to make an overall evaluation of it. Such a department is needed to coordinate the var­ ious fronts in the war on pollution. There is also need for such an organization on the international level. Finally, there is need for the general public to take note of the problem and then to do something about it. It is necessary that we as mem­ bers of our communities take steps to clean it up and to see to it that antipollution laws are enforced.

There is no quick antidote for pollu­ tions poison. It took years for the present situation to develop, and it will take time to reverse the process. The environmental peril is a grim challenge. Yet it is one which can be won, provided that we realize that the proper use of science is not to con­ quer nature but to live in nature.

CALL A HIPPIE Tt was a cold Sunday C ernoon in Novem* ber, and a wet mist hung heavy on the street, I was walking along in the same part of the city where less than two weeks ago a riot was staged by protesting college students. When the riot first started, it seemed as though the national guard would have to be called in because the police weren’t getting tough enough with those long-haired hippies.

The people demanded that the police department move in with force and quell the riot. The police commissioner hesitat­ ed at first but then gave the order for his men to move in with force. It didn’t take long for the policemen to disperse the riot­ ers once they started busting heads and loading many of the rioters into police bus­ es. The people were very pleased with the way in which the police handled the rioters.

If those hippies didn’t want to obey the laws, then the police department should

teach them respect for the authorities by busting a few of their heads.

Although I hadn’t passed many people on the street, a small crowd was gathering up ahead. A man of about thirty years of age was very drunk. His face was set in a dull, thick mold with his eyes almost shut, as though he were asleep. And his movements were sleepy, slow, but strange­ ly stubborn, persistent, with the steady, stubborn purpose of a drunken man set upon doing something. He wanted to get away. But the two policemen wouldn’t let him.

The policemen were trying to handle this situation as the public wanted. One was young; he was handsome, with a white, bony face that had some stitches on the cheek where a broken bottle had cut him during the riot. The other looked more sea­ soned; his face was meaty and red, as 99

The drunk was leaning forward on both hands, no longer making any attempts to get away. His head drooped down, too heavy for him to carry. Beneath the white skin of his neck the muscles were limp and trembling.

though he had been out in the wind for many years.

1

Each held onto one arm, and as the drunken man tugged heavily, persistently, from side to side, they swung with him.

The policemen wore dark wool overcoats.

These bore them down and seemed to re­ strict their arms. Occasionally they tugged at one of the buttons in an effort to free themselves. But each time the drunken man pulled, and then they had to hold on­ to him again.

There was a ripple of quick movement in the crowd and a somewhat older man pushed forward, his face flushed. “Do something,” he said. “You can’t leave him like that. Do something.”

The drunken man moaned, his cry full of pain and shock. His head sagged back and the blood dripped down to his coat.

The men in the crowd watched in sil­ ence. Some had a look of vague fear about them; others held their lips in the curve of a smile, but all of them watched intently, waiting.

A man called out from the crowd, “Lay him down. Put something under his lip.”

The one who had stepped forward bent over and put a handkerchief to the drunk’s nose. He pressed him back until he was lying full length on the sidewalk.

Suddenly the drunken man fell back­ ward. The policemen had caught him off balance. He was not hurt when he fell; they had held onto him, and so his fall was broken.

The red-faced one stood up. “Hold him a minute,” he said to the other. He began to undo his raincoat.

For a moment there was silence again.

The drunk would not stay still. With his eyes shut and his black hair falling over his face so that he looked like a sleepwalk­ er, he kept up his stubborn, aimless struggle.

i i

The red-faced one got his coat off. He turned to one of the bystanders, a little man with a cane. "Hold this, will you?” he asked. The man took the coat and fold­ ed it over his arm. The policeman stepped back. And as he stepped back, the drunk swung around and knocked the other pol­ iceman down with a punch to the jaw. In hitting the other policeman, the drunk lost his balance and fell to his knees.

With a sudden, explosive movement the red-faced policeman crooked his leg and brought it up. "Allright!” he said.

The bone of his knee clamped against the man’s face. It broke his nose, and the blood spurted out in a thick, red stream.

1

From the spectators there came an in­ stantaneous, muffled cry. It was low, a sucking-in breath. Then there was silence.

The red-faced policeman helped his part­ ner up.

100

The crowd was mostly composed of men. They looked like workingmen of one sort or another — all of them dressed in their Sunday clothes. They stood locked to­ gether, thickset, heavy-featured, with a sul­ len look to their faces.

A passer-by came up and asked in a loud voice what had happened. A man in the back row answered him. “Some poor guy got drunk, so these cops went and wiped him out.” The answer was loud and challenging.

“What about it?” the red-faced police­ man said. “Last week you praised us for using force and for busting heads. Now this week everything is different. I suppose now you are going to say that it wasn’t you who told us to use force and teach peo­ ple respect for the laws and for policemen.

Well, if you don’t like policemen, the next time you need a cop, call a hippie.”

/Crystal/ I shout. Crystal! and move up the ladder in the driving rain.

Crystal!

Crystal lives on top, on the tiny, bouldered cliff. I may not step off the ladder.

She and I are forbidden to meet. Our love had been hopeless, and we could never hope to love each other, and she killed herself for love. Crystal! I shout. Crystal! The folly! How stupid to think anything hope­ less except this death! And we are forbid­ den to see each other, except in this rain.

After she died, we were told, by those who knew “better” and had power to forbid, who think and feel with their minds in­ stead of their hearts, that it was better for me not to seek her out. And it is strictly forbidden me except in these driving rains.

I live in hopelessness, for I must wait; and not the thundercloud increases my hope, for we are beyond it.

I stand on the ladder and shout. Crys­ tal! Despair and longing are for me a single passion, funeral emotions, and they con­ trol my body and soul. (How sharper than a serpent’s tooth this frenzy!) And Crys­ tal loves me. But with the thundercloud she has gone back, only a little deeper, only just out of reach, and not even abso­ lutely out of sight, for I see a light from her quarters. Crystal! I shout. Crystal!

ON THE CAMPUS OF WHERE ITS AT An interview with Rev. Richard Balge, our synod's campus minister at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Rev. Balge, how is your ministry affected by problems arising in a campus commun­ ity such as this one?

First of all, I would say that the only reason we are here is because of the uni­ versity. Although we have taken on some of the aspects of an inner city type mis­ sion along the way, we wouldn’t have established a mission here. So, since we are so close to the university, figuratively and literally speaking, whatever is hap­ pening on this campus affects this min­ istry.

101

What specific problems do you have to face that other ministers in regular parishes don’t have to face?

I don’t think that we have any special problems that the others don’t have, — What we may have here is a higher in­ tensity — a more frequent dealing with those problems associated with a univer­ sity situation. I have a feeling that every pastor in our synod is beginning to en­ counter the questions, challenges, and problems like those that we meet here.

Are the students you deal with generally in the mainstream of the social movements sweeping over the campuses, like this one?

Yes. It is again a matter of degree.. . for

! ! ! t ■

:

the simple fact that these students here are in constant contact, a close contact with these hot situations.

Is your ministry totally student oriented, or what other types of people come here?

We not only serve the students of the University of Wisconsin, but also stu­ dents from several technical and nurs­ ing schools in the area. We are also a home for people who work here, — mar­ ried students, full and part-time, and anyone else who finds himself more confessionally at home here. There are also some family people and some retired per­ sons who come here. But during the school year, I suppose that 80% of the persons in the church services are uni­ versity students or are connected with the university in some way.

Does the fact that this university lives up to its reputation of being a center for liber­ al thought in this country make any spec­ ial demands of its own on your ministry?

Some people find this liberalism a very attractive aspect. But any time a pas­ tor is serving a number of people who are educated under a secular philoso­ phy, he is going to regard the system as the adversary. Not that the uni­ versity consciously sets out to crush Christianity, but education without Christ is adverse. . . They can only say, “We don’t know, or need to know how to educate in this area,” so they have that neutrality which is un-belief. I have to consider that this is here not only of a campus pastor but it can be a pastor in any town where most of his kids go to public schools, because there they are teaching people how to live in this world without Christ, and that this world is all there is.

So you are actually saying that your prob­ lems are not much different from those of any other pastor anywhere, but that these problems confronting you are a concentra­ tion of those out in the field elsewhere.

Yes. In some ways the university is out in front of things. What is happening here will probably turn up other places later.

Do you find treating touchy questions such as “new morality,” and the like, difficult, considering the general attitude most stu­ dents seem to have about them?

Well, we do treat them. . . There isn’t anything we don’t treat around here.

Take something like the legalization of marijuana. We can go from many dif­ ferent angles, and treat it directly in a Christian context. First, the legal restric­ tions on marijuana are tight and a Chris­ tian dare not be a lawbreaker. And sec­ ondly, this drug and those like it are harmful, and the Christian who regards his body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, will not tear that temple down. Some say it is harmful to the body — nobody knows whether it is harmless to the body or not. They think that it does not have the harmful side effects of the more “harder” drugs, but they aren’t sure. In this light, we Christians don’t have to consider it further. When the govern­ ment says “Don’t smoke marijuana,” it isn’t saying “don’t profess Christ.”

Are there any real “pet” problems you run into?

Evolutionism. Universuiism. The whole idea of shifting standards of morality.

Conscientious objection to military ser­ vice. Mixed marriages ugs. The cam­ pus community is definitely a concentra­ tion of those problems hut I get letters from pastors in small .ns in northern Wisconsin where kids 1: smoked mari­ juana, tried LSD, and h: . oeen arrested as pushers — It’s not jin ■; here in Madi­ son. But it grew here. The volume of these problems is greate r, it’s more in­ tense.

This must put you in a position to render some sort of advice to those pastors who are unfamiliar to these problems.

Sometimes they think so and sometimes they invite me to speak. Whether it helps, or not, I don’t know.

Sometimes we students at Northwestern think that our school is too much of an “Ivory Tower” and is to isolated and unre­ lated to the problems of “now.” To what extent did you find this to be true?

There is really only one way you can get in touch with people and their prob­ lems, and that’s experience. You can do some reading, you can walk around the city, and yet when I got into the minis­ try, there were a lot of things that jolted me at first. You do, however, have your education, your background. You have qualified to be a minister. You studied the science of preaching and being a minister, but you’ve got to learn the art of being a pastor.

102

Some students at Northwestern have said that they often have the feeling that they need more than what Northwestern can give them in order to be really qualified for the calling, and that the curriculum does not relate to the problems they will be facing. In your opinion, did Northwestern really give you a sound enough background for working with the younger generation and its problems?

Never sell Northwestern short. I did.

There was a time when I did. Let me say this — There are all sorts of people, Ph.D.s, Master’s candidates, students from every field of study, and every cor­ ner of the globe, who worship here with us, and I’m saying this for Northwestern and not for Richard Balge, because I am by no means an example of Northwest­ ern’s “A” product, but I don’t think that anyone who has worshipped here or at­ tended Bible class, or who has come here for any other reason has ever gotten the impression that he wa h cussing some­ thing with a poorly - - ated person.

There is a lot that c. said for the generalist, and that i type of edu­ cation you get at No ostern.

In most of our parishes ; hair on boys and lamb-chop type side- • -s are immedi­ ately associated with in ality, drugs, and many other unacce}! . ; things. Has long hair become the ? .nstead of the exception here?

It’s part of the environment here. If I had a closely cropped crew cut, I might offend quite a few people.

For a final question, what has been your experience with new liturgical forms, and what is your opinion on how useful they could be?

I have studied a few of the different ones, but I haven’t really had much con­ tact with them. The one instance where we did employ a type of new liturgy was at a retreat on the other side of Lake Mendota last fall which we sponsored.

In the evening, instead of the regular vesper service, some of the students worked out a form of the evening song service borrowing guitar accompani­ ments from here and there. . . I would say that they were not theologically of­ fensive, but on the other hand, they had little substance. They seemed very weak.

One thing we do try is using everything that is already in our hymnal. There 103

are all sorts of possibilities in this. I know that there is enough variety in that material to keep the liturgical form fresh.

I'm afraid that many of the people who are rejecting the older forms are to some extent rejecting the very doctrines in­ volved. It goes deeper than style. I’m sure it does.

Somewhere in a far-off, steaming, devastated land Our brother exists. He does not live — Merely exists — from one moment to the next.

Realizing that at any given second He could again be part of nature.

Every blast from automatic or mortar Could be his death knell He cannot tell.

On the battlefront he is net man But rather some fierce arm savage beast.

A beast fighting by instinct or a cause — The survival of himself and his kind.

An animal will do no less Every day is a living hell Of indecision, indifference doubt, uncertainty Yet he carries on; instinct overcomes reason.

Our brother has a family back home, But they understand him not.

Why he left home To go to that God-forsaken, war-torn land They can’t explain. To them It was just a youthful lust for adventure.

But he knew why he went to that jungle Of his own free will. He also knew Why he existed, why he lived.

And why he died.

NWC Evening Classes • il Received Two evening courses a!. Northwestern College have attracted 115 pastors, teach­ ers, and laymen from WaL town and the surrounding area.

Initiated as an experiment because of a request by the local Wisconsin Ev. Luth­ eran Synod pastors’ conference, the high interest will likely lead to further non-cred­ it offerings in the future. The eight-week classes meet on Wednesday nights for an hour.

"Hodag 50” A record number of entrants are anti­ cipated for the 7th Annual Hodag “50” — billed as one of the Wor' Largest and Richest races. During the ; i seven years the efforts of the Lions Ho ; Snowmobile Marathon, Inc., to put on . annual event geared to the enjoyment ; die spectators and the safety of the partu aits, has lead to one of the most outstanding events in the nation. Drivers and :ctators alike, have been high in their pr; se of the new Hodag “50” Park located three miles north of Rhinelander in the Town of Pine Lake.

Although the correct title for the sponsors is the “Lions Hodag Snowmobile Marathon, Inc.”, over the years the size and nature of the events has required the participa­ tion of many civic organizations and com­ munity-minded individuals. Nearly every major organization in the area, including the City of Rhinelander and communities of Starks, Three Lakes, and Sugar Camp, are in some way involved in the over-all sponsorship of the event. Of particular in­ terest to the participants in the up-coming event, are the large cash prizes and num­ erous trophies available to the winners in the various events. $15,000.00 in cash priz­ es, plus trophies, will be given out to the winners of the Hodag “50” Cross Country Marathon on Saturday, January 16, and $10,000.00 cash prizes, plus trophies, will be awarded Sunday, January 17, for the Ho­ dag Sprint race.

Forum This month Forum plans to put on an­ other one-act comedy. The play that has been selected is a political satire on peace treaties. It is something difffferent, and nothing like it has been done in recent years. It leans toward the Comedy of the Absurd. A December production is also in the planning stages, although a specific title cannot be released as yet.

Committees have been set up to work on choosing a play for the Forum final this year. Among the authors being considered are Moliere and Sheridan. Forum hopes to have the final play chosen soon, so that real work on it can start as soon as possible.

You'll buy life insurance eventually. Why not now when you'll save a bundle?

Education isn’t all academic matters. It’s smart to give some thought now to matters outside the ivied walls . . . such as life insurance. Why now? Because you can never buy at a lower rate than today . . . and that rate remains the same for the length of the contract. Also, your present good health will allow you to establish certain options that guarantee your ability to buy additional insurance in the future even if poor health should come your way. And life insur-

ance is actually a savings ac* count that builds steadily in cash value through the years . . . money which you may need to pay off college debts, to put your new bride in a home of your own, or to set yourself up in business. A good friend to help you with your life insurance plans is the Aid Association for Lutherans representative. A fellow Lutheran, he puts it all together for you in a meaningful way. It’s all a part of our cornmon concern for human worth.

Skylight Comic Opera, Ltd. The Skylight Theatre will open its 12th season at its East side location on Wed­ nesday (Oct. 28) with “The Amorous Flea” a musical adaptation of Moliere’s School for Wives”. The production was adapted for off-Broadway in 1964 by Jerry Devine and is being given its first Milwaukee pro­ duction by the Skylight.

Clair Richardson, Skylight producer, said he has been wanting to do this work “for years” because it has a small cast (eight), it has only two sets of scenery and generally fits the Skylight’s smaller than usual stage. “It’s a Skylight kind of show,” he said. “Not only does it fit size-wise, but its 18th century flavor fits in with the Sky­ light’s usual mixture of opera, operetta and vintage musicals.”

Richardson said that “The Amorous Flea” is a connoisseur’s kind of musical.

THE NEED FOR CENSORSHIP

:

N

Wl

^*ensorship — to many this denotes a restriction upon the freedom of the press and the individual’s right to free ex­ pression. The attempt in the past decade to prevent the widespread sale and promo­ tion of pornographic material through cen­ sorship has given rise to a controversy which is far from being settled. Basically the difficulty lies in technically defining what is meant by “obscene” of pornograph­ ic material. If we were to accept the basic tenets of modern rationalists, then censor­ ship would no longer be a relevant issue; since according to the modernists, there is

no absolute evil, and sin exists only when one individual through his actions en­ croaches upon the pleasures of another in­ dividual. By discarding traditional morals and ethics, the word “obscene” becomes meaningless, and man’s passions are limit­ ed only to the extent that one does not hinder another individual in his pursuit of happiness. Recently the President’s Com­ mission on Obscenity and Pornography re­ leased a 622 page report that not only found the effect of erotic materials “social­ ly desirable,” but also concluded that there is “no warrant for continued governmental interference with the full freedom of adults to read, obtain or view” sexually explicit materials. While it is satisfying to note that many congressmen and senators are sharply attacking the commission’s man­ date, we cannot fail to recognize this as another indication of natural man’s ten­ dency toward moral degeneracy.

This tendency of man toward evil is clearly proclaimed to us in God’s Word: “The imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth (Gen. 8:21).” This porno­ graphy has a sound basis upon which to appeal to the desires of our flesh. Although modernists may argue th there is no wrong inherent in this app 1 because no injurious outward action tak s place. Scrip­ ture clearly states that “eve^ me who looks at a woman lustfully has k v.dy commit­ ted adultery with her in hr heart (Matt.

5:27)”, and admonishes u “watch and pray, that ye enter not m temptation (Matt. 26:41)” and to “fie- also youthful lusts (II Tim. 2:22).”

As Christians, we are continually at war with our flesh, “For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for they are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would (Gal. 5:17).”

Is it not then our responsibility as Christ­ ians to try to impair rather than strengthen this enemy which is constantly with us?

Should we not support censorship of por­ nographic materials which are intended to cause sexual excitment, that by so doing we may deny “ungodliness and worldly lusts”?

temptations of the flesh, namely our child­ ren? In regard to this question, the follow­ ing statement by Luther is especially rele­ vant: Of themselves young people are inclined to all evil. Besides, because of their in­ experience they do not understand the wiles and the wickedness of the world and the devil and are far too weak to withstand the bad examples given them and the causes of offenses. Nor are they able to control themselves. If they are not trained, they are ruined and lost be­ fore they get their bearings. Therefore they need and must have teachers and rulers to exhort, warn, rebuke, and chas­ tise them, to hold them constantly to the fear of God and to His Commandments, and to ward off the devil, the world, and the flesh.

By allowing our youth to read whatever they might come across, are we not giving the devil one more opportunity to strength­ en the natural tendency toward evil?

Environmentalists vill argue that a child’s surroundings alone determine his moral development. While one must con­ cede that environment; does to a large ex­ tent develop a child's habits and moral standards, one cannn: ribute everything to environment as j. . . Ciardi (a writer for the Saturday Revo does by stating, . . I must believe : ■ t the sensibilities of the young are detc: mined not by their reading habits but by tone of the society in which they live. . . Such a view fails to consider man’s natural moral depravity.

Censorship is admittedly a difficult task, yet the battle for decency on the news­ stands can be won if citizens become con­ cerned and organize themselves to resist the purveyors of obscenity. A good exam­ ple is the King Case, where in April, 1967, the people of Cincinnati successfully con­ victed Mrs. King, owner and operator of a bookstore, on the charge of selling por­ nographic material to minors. They suc­ ceeded by instituting a thorough police in­ vestigation followed by a well-planned pro­ secution.

New York State statute of 1965 clearly states that it is a crime to sell to anyone under 17 any material that presents a view of “nudity, sexual conduct or sado-maso­ chistic abuse” which is designed to arouse sexual desire or imagination. Clear, welldefined laws are a great asset in the strug­ gle against obscenity.

Recently the Supreme Court has dealt severe blows to censorship by reversing de­ cisions made by state courts. Basically, these judges seem to feel that nothing is obscene and that any restriction upon pub­ lic expression would violate the constitu­ tional right of freedom of speech. But is the problem of obscenity actually a consti­ tutional problem? Is it not rather, as Judge Samuel Hofstadter of the New York Sup­ reme Court recently indicated, essentially a question of “municipal order”? Would it not be far better if laws were enacted by Congress which would allow the highest courts of a given state to serve as courts of last appeal in questions of obscenity? By this procedure we would be a step closer to judging pornography in view of commun­ ity standards.

Perhaps a better approach is the AntiObscenity Bill (S.1077) wh'.h Senator Dirksen finished working upo 1 shortly be­ fore his death. This bill prop . es that “free juries of local citizens” be - tablished to make the final determinatici < to whether a book, magazine or movie obscene.

Whatever method of c; .-. . »rship is es­ tablished, there is always danger of discarding something which nay possess some “redeeming social valiu Yet in view of the onslaught of pornography, is it not better to chance this loss, rather than pro­ vide an avenue for every type of salacious­ ness? President Nixon has made the state­ ment, “When indecent books no longer find a market, when pornographic films no long­ er draw an audience, when obscene plays open to empty houses, then the tide will turn.” As Christians, we know that the tide will never turn upon this earth. Hence it is our duty to try, in some way, to stem the flood and to prevent it from engulfing us also.

CAMPUS & CUASSPCCM Whenever you are just sitting around and feel that you should get some exercise, seriously consider washing your clothes.

Not that your clothes are necessarily so la­ den with dirt that you have to be a weightlifter to carry them to the basement, but if you’ve ever given your threads a catharsis in the agitators in the Wartburg basement, you may be aware of the Herculean effort it takes to effect said task. Consider the plight of the potential user of the suds that cleanse:

1) He must first fiufunctions, which easy assignment.

machine that . occasionally no

2) He must find not currently \vc; greasy garments

-chine that is someone else’s

3) He must be willi md able to sprint three flights of stairs back up to his room while waiting lor a machine or after realizing that he had forgotten his soap and/or clothes.

4) When he senses that a washer has become available, he must dash head­ long for the laundry room and hope that nobody else has the same plans, or a rather formidable collision may occur.

5) Assuming that he has risen victorious over all those who would keep him from using the machine, he must find in quick succession a utensil to mea­ sure the soap, a quarter (or a suit­ able substitute) to initiate the entire cycle, and the garb itself to be agitat­ ed, which he has left somewhere on the laundry table amongst the duds of other hopefuls.

117

6) Joyful over the apparent success of his mission, he rapidly runs to his room to recline in his rocker and rest up until his rags are rinsed. (During the spinning cycle, one of three paths is available. He must decide whether to: wear his clothes slightly damp, dry them with the refectory’s bread dryer, or once again make use of the base­ ment facilities. Most choose the lat­ ter.)

7 ) He must now locate another 25^ while waiting for a dryer, which in most cases will chug along for another 40 to 80 minutes to allow him sufficient time to produce the needed shekel.

Once the coin is deposited in the slot, only a few obstacles remain.

8 ) When his garments are sufficiently de­ hydrated, he must return to the laun­ dry room and try to determine the lo­ cation and identity of his threads.

(With luck, he may discover that the next user of the dryer has chucked the clothes within a ten-foot radius of the laundry table. However, the veteran launderer realizes that, on a heavy night, he should be prepared to search as far as the T.V. room and the first floor lounge to claim his wardrobe.)

9) He then makes his final ascent of the by now quite steep stairs, takes his booty to his room, hangs up, folds, or otherwise temporarily disposes of and sufficiently conceals his newly bright­ ened attire, and throws his aching body in bed, consoled only by the wel­ come smell of his fresh P.J.’s.

Ruppel’s Raiders are dominating the scene in intramural grid action this fall.

Their one victory to date hardly gives am­ ple testimony to their courage and vigor on the field. The hard-hitting squad is giving Watertown Memorial Hospital plenty of business treating injured players. Unfor­ tunately, most injuries are occurring to the Raiders themselves, as Messrs. Lange, Hart­ ley, and Bonow have come to realize by the incapacitation in various degrees of a brachial extremity. Therefore, Rups is now

accepting applications for team doctor in 310R Wartburg. No wacky quacks need apply.

This issue’s edification for the month comes from the German department. It seems that the expression “Schwein haben” should be used sparingly. At least this is what our consultant in the field, Dr. Sul­ livan, had to say to Dean Anderson: “(Sch­ wein haben) is a very coarse expression, which hardly fits for one who plants lilies.”

The translation in the modem idiom follows: I sing about the strong football players’ bodies, and the men2 who, praised,, by football admirers with a thunderous ova­ tion, 5 first came from the coasts of Troy;, to Northwestern., and to Latin class7.

Much were they8 tossed about both at home and on the road0 by the force of super unintelligent monsters10 because of the lasting wrath of fierce oppon­ ents,n and they,,, also suffered many things in their football games,2 until he,., might build a team,s and destroy Concordia-River Forest on Nov. 7, 1970 ;10 from which comes the Trojan17 race and,8 the walls of lofty NWC,,,.

5) Fato — F.A.T.O. = "Football Admirers with a Thunderous Ovation.”

6) Profugus=“praised” by context and because of the doubly reversed aug­ ment before a silent shewa.

7) Lavinaque litora is obviously a qere perpetuum for “Latin class.”

8) Ille for the plural (cf. note $2).

WATERTOWN BOWL - "18" "K^ental retardation. It could occur in IVXany family. There are 126 million Americans impaired in their mental devel­ opment, either from birth or at an early age. What is being done for them? What are they doing?

Many of them are educable. That is, if they are trained effectively, they can live economically independent of anyone or anything. Others are trainable — able to do useful tasks under supervision. The de­ pendent can learn to care for their own personal needs, and the totally dependent rely mostly upon habit and aid in personal care.

In recent years the tiond for placing the mentally retarded in institutions has been on the decline. The-, prevailing atti­ tude is that the home is best place to keep the retarded to make . -n active and productive members of sot :y.

Work-Study students from W.S.U., Whitewater. There is also a rehabilitation center conducted in Fort Atkinson. This is design­ ed to help the handicapped enter employ­ ment after receiving vocational rehabilita­ tion services. They are analyzed, then ad­ vised on their next step — either being placed at a practicable job in the commun­ ity or entering a habilitation center. Prof.

Eickmann noted that the habilitation work­ shop in Fort Atkinson serves about two dozen retarded adults who normally per­ form some type of unskilled labor.

These first class citizens serve as respon­ sible members of the community through the efforts of this group and others like it.

But it is not the groups themselves that make these programs work. The commun­ ity has to accept and work with the men­ tally retarded to make them effective.

“The manner in which our Nation cares for its citizens and conserves its manpower resources is more than an index to its con­ cern for the less fortunate. It is the key to its future” (John F. Kennedy).

M.R.B,

ALUMNI

Hello Alumni fans. Here we are again with some more interesting sidelights from the B&R gossip column, the column that gives you all the things the Northwestern Lutheran doesn’t dare to publish. Sad to say, the correspondents who send me my information didn’t come through too well this month. Maybe there’s nothing happen­ ing, I don’t know. So to help this column maintain its reputation along with C&C as the B&R crowd pleaser, I thought I’d write a little something about Northwestern’s past.

When the football team was started in 1897 and the basketball team a few years later, another organization was already on the campus, the military company. The company was organized in 1892 by a stu­ dent, August Schauer, who had at one time been in the German army. The boys were supplied with sixty Springfield rifles bor­ rowed from the state with the help of a local congressman. For twelve dollars a

piece they bought their own uniform, and when a man from Milwaukee donated two swords and the coeds made a large silk flag, they were ready to start. The com­ pany followed the U. S. Army Drill Regu­ lations. Officers were in charge of the groups and practically memorized the Reg­ ulations so they could teach them to the new recruits. In the fall the ranks were always thin, but gradually the new recruits joined up. They drilled all fall and all dur­ ing the winter, and when spring came they were ready to put on exhibitions. Most of the public appearances centered around parades, special events held on national holidays, sham battles put on for enter­ tainment, and an occasional “march out.”

Every once in a while the company was in­ vited to one of the neighboring towns like Oconomowoc, Lake Mills and Jefferson.

They took a weekend off, marched out to the town, entertained the people that day, and came back the next.

120

The company played a big part in the school’s life from 1892 until around 1920.

During these years when the athletic pro­ gram was not yet fully organized, it gave the boys a chance to get exercise and gave them something to do, especially during the long winter months. But as the years went by, the regular competitive sports be­ came more popular. The end was in sight when it became a problem to get guys to join up, and when those who were in the company complained more and more about the work. The horrors of the First World War had also shown people the War was not all glory and flag waving. The com­ pany dragged on for a few more years, and finally in 1929 the faculty decided to dis­ continue it.

SPCCTS TROJANS “OVERWHELM” CONCORDIA-ST. PAUL 15-14 It must be nice to be a pro coach with a kicker on the sidelines who is almost deadly from inside the 50 yard line. Coach Len Umnus must be thanking his lucky stars for the toe of George Swanson. His three field goals proved to be just enough to push Northwestern past our friends from that “other formerly conservative Luther­ an synod.” Swanson and the Trojans drew first blood in the first period when George split the uprights with eight minutes left in the quarter. Concordia could put to­ gether only one sustained drive in the quar-

ter. Glen Thompson ended that with an aerial pilfer. On the previous play one poor end from Concordia was so open that he was overlooking all of the fine collegiate coeds in our bleachers and inadvertently forgot to catch the would-be touchdown pass headed in his direction. Score 3-0.

In the second period Concordia initiat­ ed another long drive but coughed up the football after a hard hit on the 10 yard line. Northwestern wasted no time in prov­ ing Newton’s law (every action causes an opposite reaction.) Thanks to Donnie Thompson’s beautiful sweep for 70 yards, the Trojan offence found itself on the two yard line. With the art of a fine dramatist, John Dolan saved the climax for the fourth down. He called on Mr. Thunder, Rog

Schultz, and the Mayville Marvel scored our first touchdown. Concordia used pen­ alties, passes, and sweeps to storm back for a 65 yard touchdown drive to pull with­ in two at 9-7. The Trojans got in range for another of Swanson’s specialties just before the close of the first half. George’s 27-yarder was made possible by several clutch carries by Don Thompson and by Schultz’s 15 yard toss to Glen Thompson.

Halftime: 12-7.

This may be getting to sound monoton­ ous, but in about the middle of the third period Schultz passed to Dolan and then to Ed “Goober” Meier to set up yet another Swanson field goal from 35 yards out. On the next series Concordia went 65 yards on another picture touchdown run. The quarter ended with the score at 15-14, Northwestern, and with several coaches ready for cardiac emergency treatment.

Evidently the Trojans decided that George and the offense had done their part.

They made the single point hold up and shut out Concordia in the fourth period.

Several key defensive plays preserved our first victory for 1970. Tom Haar was not fooled and stopped a fake punt and run (we had been fooled earlier on a similar play). Rich Kogler made another key stop within the ten-yard line. Finally Tom Haar reached back into his well of football savvy gained over the past five years and stopped Concordia on the five-yard line.

Schultz carried for eight to the 14 yard line. With 6:52 left in the contest, Swan­ son correctly calculated a powerful crosswind and kicked a 32 yard field goal. Per­ haps George’s leg had been strengthened by his sideline practice in the third quar­ ter. George had just missed a 44 yarder and after speaking a curious incantation to the patron saints of the place-kickers he took aim and made beautiful contact with the sideline marker! You’re sure Lou Gro­ za started like this?

Back to the game. With such a big lead, the Trojan defense had no choice but to stop Milton cold. They rose to the chal­ lenge with Rich Kogler stopping one threat by getting a fumble deep in our territory.

The game wasn’t much for those who like razzle-dazzle offensive spectacles, but it was football, and the pads were really pop­ ping. Attention, Ron Grovesleen: Call Milton College immediately. Collect.

First of all, the Trojans found themselves without Coach Umnus for the first time in forty-some years. The Coach had a chance to attend his own homecoming at Illinois and gave Dean John Chworowsky his first chance in the grey hair department. Ap­ parently, the Dean has mastered the half­ time speech, for his charges came back from a spotty 13 point first half to score 33 in the final half. Another unusual oc­ currence for Trojan fans came on the open­ ing kickoff. Igor Naumann must have put eight years of speed and moves together as he outlegged ten Concordia men for a 70 yard runback. The eleventh Concordia Falcon introduced himself to James on the ten yard line. Marty Toepel (shades of the Marty Schwartz-Dave Toepel era!), a fresh­ man speedster, sprang loose on a twentyyard swing pass for our first T.D. The ex­ tra point was flubbed, and the score stood at 6-0.

you the same? “The same as what?” you might ask. Are you the same as any other student on any college campus in the country? More than likely there will be some who will answer yes and others no. Well, let’s take a look and see. re

When a person first views students at Northwestern, they appear to be the same as most students on any other campus.

They dress the same; they wear brightcolored clothes and bell bottoms. Overall they may be neater and cleaner than many students on another campus, but if you placed them on that campus, they would still fit right in. They seem to have the same concerns as other students — studies, grades, girls, and social life. They have the same anxieties, desires and dreams as other students their age. Therefore you might conclude from your observations, and rightfully so, that there isn’t any differ­ ence between a Northwestern student and most students on other college campuses.

However, you’re dead wrong if you draw 126

:•

Iff

such a conclusion from only outward ob­ servations.

There is a definite and very obvious difference between an NWC student and any other Joe College. The only way you’ll find this out is to talk to the students. Talk to students at state universities and colleges and then talk to students at NWC. This is the only way you’ll be able to compare and understand how each student views his life and purpose on this earth and the things which he considers important. Many students at other colleges are carrying the banners for abortion, women’s lib., legal­ ization of marijuana, freer universities, de­ struction of the establishment, better wel­ fare programs and the establishing of some sort of utopia in this country. They see nothing wrong with abortion - never equat­ ing it with murder. A drug society is all right. You should be able to do anything you please so long as you aren’t harming or bothering anyone else But now, ask an NWC student about abo: >n and he’ll tell you it’s murder. Get ■ ■■•• ew on drug abuse, the abolishment or '!cs and the setting up of utopias on e < You’ll soon find out that students her. v man from an entirely different pe five. They realize that man is inhere evil and all his desires and wants are ipression of this sinfulness. Students’; consider the Gospel of Jesus Christ th.t important thing on this earth — not -rugs and wo­ men’s lib. Their entire life based on this principle. You should always be able to tell an NWC student from many students of other colleges by merely talking to him.

Now, are you the same?

Frazzled Dendrites Tn the days before automobiles crowded A the cobblestones of downtown Watertown, students donned sheets and pillow cases in a festive snake dance and parade of floats. I guess it’s safe to say that auto­ mobiles are here to stay now and the by­ gone snake dance is an all but forgotten memory of our retired alumni and friends, but Homecoming continues to be the social event on campus. Old grads and young will roll into Watertown all day Saturday mr the big game against Concordia — River Forest. Preps and collegiates alike will be escorting friends to the games and ban127

quet. However, crowded conditions in the dining hall, gym, and especially on the side lines may cause some roused nerves.

The construction of the new gym is likely to accentuate our parking problem to the limit. Standing room will be at a premium for the game. We all have to go all the way to be as courteous and understanding as possible. All the long planning and weeks of construction will be just so many whited sepulchres if any students or guests are left holding a bag of regrets after that Saturday evening. Go out of your way to be pleasant. Let some of your enthusiasm for the winning Trojans brush off on the guest next to you.

All We Want To Do Is Get Up Tf I were to ask you, “Man, did you get a good high last night? Heard you had some fine grass!”, I would be surprised if you were not personally offended at the implication that you were any kind of “head”.

But if I ribbed you about getting tanked up, even to the extent of losing your senses, you might just grin and say, "Well, I had a few too many!”

There seems to be a difference in the mind of straight society between getting stoned on pot or on beer, when the differ­ ence lies only in the means and not in the basic problems involved.

The first problem is excess. Drunken­ ness is no less a sin than that other way of going out of your head — no matter what society says! The second, and more impor­ tant problem is motivation. What is the motivation for getting bombed or getting stoned? If it is to escape, then it is not con­ sistent with Christian principles. Our es­ cape is in Christ, who died to free us from all sins and cares. If we depend on arti­ ficial and temporary escapes, it shows very clearly the weakness of our faith.

Do we regard liquor as a necessary aid in our social behavior? Then we are suffer­ ing from a basic personality weakness any­ way. Because when you COME DOWN, your personality, your problems, will be the same as when you took off, but your head will be thicker. When you face facts, get­ ting blitzed just doesn't make it.

EDITORIALS 0 God, Thou Faithful God T-T ymn 395 in The Lutheran Hymnal has ■Ei. been a popular song in Lutheran cir­ cles as can be observed by its frequent us­ age in our own chapel and congregations.

Although the hymn has been used so very frequently, I have never appreciated the true meaning of the words. It wasn’t until 1 began preparing a Christmas editorial on evangelism that I came face to face with the inspiration of this hymn. I had asked a friend to give his opinion of my rough draft. He pointed out the words below as his example of evangelism. I had been wrestling with the problem of how the Christian man evangelizes. Does he set up a soap box on a comer, or a tent in the park? Does he buttonhole prospects in parking lots as meticulously as a Jesuit?

Originally entitled “A Daily Prayer” by its author, Johann Heermann, it serves well in training us in practical Christianity. As confessing Evangelical Lutherans we would do well to make Heermann’s hymn our daily prayer for godly living, patient suf­ fering, and happy dying. The life of the believer is a life of evangelism, but evan­ gelism becomes so much more alive in our minds during the festivals of the church calendar. At Christmas we have the vivid picture of the Heavenly Hosts, the Shep­ herds, Anna, and the Wise Men — all Evan­ gelicals. Christmas reminds us of our faith­ ful God, a Fountain ever flowing, bestow­ ing good and perfect gifts. The greatest of these gifts is His only begotten Son. Sure­ ly this is a gift to share. Our God will give us grace and strength to share the Good News. As in the words of verse three: “And then, when in my place I must and ought to speak, My words grant pow’r and grace Lest I offend the weak.” In this world we sojourn quietly at peace and with friend­ ship. Providing for our families by honest labor, we pray for our heavenly rest — the Good News. It’s that simple! l—

To Serve or to Gain TAThat is the purpose of our monitors, * * resident assistants, canteen workers and student librarians? Is it to do a ser­ vice for the students of the school or is it merely a means for monelan gain for those having these positions? Naturally all of the people engaged in the? jobs receive a monetary compensation. is this the on­ ly reason they took on base additional tasks? It certainly should not be the main reason!

Monitors and resident -istants are ad­ ditions to the dorm stall' > help keep order and maintain a high mor.de in the dormi­ tories. If these men merely looked at their positions in view of the money they re­ ceived, they certainly would not take their duties as seriously and conscientiously work for improvements. However, by see­ ing their duty as one of love to help their fellow Christians, they diligently seek to do a good job and maintain a good rapport in the dorm between students and dorm staff. The fruits of such conscientiousness always will be visible and will help to strengthen the already good prevailing spirit at Northwestern.

Canteen workers and librarians likewise have a service to perform for the student body. Student librarians are present to as­ sist students in the use of the library and to maintain an atmosphere conducive to study in the reading room. They also staff the bookstore. The librarians should also be diligent in seeing that the library and bookstore are open at the specified times

130

and, if need be, go out of their way to make both available to students. These positions are a service and not a 9 - 5 job which ends a five. The same principles also apply to our canteen workers. They are performing a service for the students. This service goes beyond the manning of the canteen during the specified hours. The profit they make through careful management is put into a fund which is used to benefit all stu­ dents. These men therefore realize the im­ portance of seeing that the canteen is run on a regular schedule so that students can rely on it to be open at a certain time and make use of it.

All students who have such positions as the ones mentioned above should be do­ ing them first out of a desire to serve and having the idea of monetary gain a distant second. However, these principles should apply to all students whenever they under­ take any type of task. The desire to serve should be first before the desire of gain.

For with service goes conscientiousness and pride in what you are doing. With the desire of gain often goes the desire to get done no matter how the work is done. When you have service as your first thought you will have a greater sense of satisfaction and you will receive the gain you deserve.

J.E.W.

ENVIRONMENT Tt was a fine and somewhat chilly, fall day in October, but William didn’t even notice what a lovely day it was, for his mind was on something quite different from the weather. This was (o be William’s most memorable day, a d-. v which would form in his mind an out!.. : on life even at his young age of six. Yc--. coday was the day his mother promised kc him downtown. William could still vmber when were going his mother told him that • to Chicago.

The thrill he felt had uinated him all morning. He couldn’t v. until 11:00 finally came; that was the ime they had planned to leave. By now . was 10:45, but to him those last fifteen minutes would take an eternity.

“William, quit dreaming and get ready; the bus will be here in ten minutes.”

His mother’s stern voice brought him out of his little world and back into reality.

Yes, it was true, if he wasn’t ready by the time the bus arrived, they might never get downtown.

“Will I like it there, mamma?” he inquired.

“I’m not going to tell you; see for your­ self.’

He had his clothes and jacket on five minutes before the bus was due to arrive.

This gave him time to slip back into the train of thought he had been lost in before.

The squeaking of the brakes on the bus brought him back out.

The time had come. The bus was wait­ ing on the comer, his jacket was on and

his mother had just finished last-minute preparations.

“Hurry, mamma; we don’t want to be late.”

“Hold your horses, we’ll be down there all day.”

William dashed out of the house with his mother following behind. There was the bus waiting on the comer with its doors open bidding William to enter, but he wait­ ed until his mother had caught up to him.

They entered together, his mother holding on to his hand. William deposited the 200 fare just as the driver motioned with his thumb to the rear. William’s mother led him to the seat in which they would make the trip. William had the seat next to the window, so that nothing would get past his eyes without his seeing it. He had trouble moving his eyes fast enough to absorb everything.

William turned to his mother saying, “Next time I’m going to sit near the front, so I can see out the big windows, ok, mam­ ma?”

His mother just nodded her head and continued reading the article about drugs in the Good Housekeeping Magazine.

Finally they had reached their destin­ ation, downtown Chicago. William and his mother stepped to the pavement. William noticed how the people were staring at him as they passed. It was probably the hat with the propeller on the top they were staring at.

His mother told him that she wanted to buy him some new shoes. They walked up 131

1 to the lunch counter, where William order­ ed a cheeseburger, a coke and an order of fries. While they were waiting for the food to be served, William went to look at the toys. His mother noticed some boys of high school age talking to her son, but they were not doing any harm, so she thought noth­ ing of it.

Finishing the food William’s mother turned to him and said, “It’s time to go home.”

“But, mamma, I want to stayl” “No dear, we must go; it’s getting late, and your father will be home when we ar­

the street until they reached the shoe store.

The bell clanged above them as they en­ tered, letting the salesman know that they were there. William sat down on one of the thickly padded chairs and waited for a salesman to come. He waited while two passed by; it was finally the third sales­ man that stopped and said, “Hello, young man, and what can we do for you?” His mother told the man that she was looking for something in a brown loafer in a size 4Vz narrow.

As the salesman went into the back room, William asked, “Mamma, why did we have to wait so long?”

‘They were probably busy, honey.”

There were the shoes, and they fit him just as he hoped they would. His mother paid the $7.95 for the shoes and they left.

By now the time was around 3:00, and in another hour his day would be over and they would have to return home.

“Mamma, I’m getting hungry. Can we stop here and get something to eat?”

His mother looked at the restaurant they had just passed and noticed the sign hanging on the door.

“We can’t eat there honey; they’re closed.”

“But why? Other people are going in,” William demanded.

“Maybe there is a private party in there.” said his mother, “We can eat at Kresge’s down the street.”

So they walked the three blocks that led to the old Kresge’s store. Inside they went

^

rive.”

Well, it was back on the bus again to make the trip home. He sat in the same seat going home that he rode in going to town.

Back at home his father, who was a policeman for the Chicago police force, was waiting for them. William dashed through the door and into his father’s arms.

“Well, how was your adventure down­ town today?” he asked.

William went into full detail describ­ ing everything that had happened. He told about the bus ride, about the salesman, who sold him his new pair o shoes, about the big restaurant, about suppar at Kresge’s, and about the boys he had liked to. Then he looked at his father, "ter he had fin­ ished and asked.

“Why do they call me icger?”

— an interview with Father Joseph Feld­ hausen (St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Par­ ish, Milwaukee), religious consultant to GLF in Milwaukee.

IPor many years homosexuality was some* thing to be hidden from sight and whis­ pered about, but now the climate has changed somewhat, and homosexuals are making a concerted attempt to attain re­ spectability. It didn’t surprise me, then, when I heard an interview with a leader of the GLF on a Milwaukee FM station, and he made the following statement:

i

132

.

“We want to live in the society as gay peo­ ple. My view on sexual expression is rath­ er utopian, but I think that people should be able to respond to people sexually, whether they be male or female or what.”

I did find it a little surprising, at least, to find that a Greek Orthodox priest was officially involved with GLF, and as a result I contacted Father Feldhausen, requesting an interview. The most pertinent portions of that interview follow.

The first thing I asked Father Feldhau­ sen for was an overview of his thinking in regard to homosexuality. His reply: “It’s a question of what does one think is

Porpoises are almost the most human­ ed and you”ll find people with their arms oid of all mammalian life, and they have around each other or slapping each other very neat affectional systems. Geese are on the back. They’re more into being phy­ affectional. Also, interestingly enough, por­ sical — relating physically. Guys in this poises and geese relate homosexually.

That does something to your head (ie. to the gay person’s self-image) other. When you turn ard the other In Gay Liberation gay is good — it’s a par­ person, living not for \ :lf alone, but in communion. And so human life is ticular ability, it’s a particular style of life, a marked in particular by ability of man way to relate affectionately. The chief prob­ (and the tendency) to _n community, lem . . . , oppression, comes from straight people. For gay people, then, the problem to live with other people caningfully. is to overcome this oppression .... For “It’s an essentially Jous question. straights — well, what can you do with God became man in C: so that men straights?

“I’m an Orthodox priest, and so we feel person, and entered the whole of human relating in the ultimate way in a human that the Bible is our book. It’s the written expression of the Word of God as lived and person.

The book is the verbal written expression of who Himself is love so that — the whole operation of the car is “O.K. — what do I think of homosex­ what about. When I want to know how the car uality? It occurs in this whole framework should function I read the book .... It’s a of religion, of human relating. Homosex­ uality is one way to relate. Like, you relate norm and a guide.”

Question: to your mother and father, and brothers “Do you believe that Scripture should and sisters, your animal friends, if you have any. Some people relate to women, be interpreted literally?”

133

I

. i

“We feel that Scripture has to be ap­ proached not compulsively, which is what we believe is your approach. It’s almost like you don’t dare to ask any questions.

Because, after all, God said exactly what He said. If creation didn’t happen in six days the whole thing is going to fall apart.

We have what we believe is a much more comfortable view of Scripture, — that it’s the Church’s book, and that it’s the Word of God in Tradition, with a capital “T,” the Word of God in the Sacraments with a cap­ ital “S,” the Word of God living in the Holy Spirit of the Church, with a capital “C” . . .

The Word of God is suffused in the Church, it’s not that it’s just in the book .... So that, for instance, I suppose you’re speak­ ing about the beginning of the epistle to the Romans.”

"Yes, that was next, particularly in re­ ference to “vile affections” etc.”

"Oh, God, yes. Vile affections. Har­ rumph! There are two things. One is the Roman’s thing, the other is the Pauline epistles. There are instances where Paul has what are called sin lists. He’ll say to the effect of, “Christ is risen. Ye must love one another. These things are unloving: . . . Among the other things Paul lists are that women must not speak in church, and women must have their head’s covered in church .... We feel in regard to the sin lists, that the principle is absolute. Christ is risen, etc. After the colon — what comes after the colon is culturally conditioned.

It’s not wrong in this society for women to speak in church .... "... homosexuality in St. Paul’s cul­ ture ... was viewed as a bad thing because of the values and experiences in that cul­ ture. Today we know that it’s not bad — that gay is good. If Paul were alive today and writing the epistles, the principle would be the same. In Romans it’s gener­ ally the same thing .... He saw that homo­ sexual experiences eventuated, led to, real­ ly bad situations among the people .... So he put homosexuality down. If Paul were alive today he’d have different outlook . . .”

Question: ‘Then you believe the things Paul con­ demns in Romans are relevant only for his time?”

‘The kinds of things Paul is talking about are really destructive kinds of things . ... He also mentions fornication . . . which, let’s face it, usually means sexual 134

intercourse outside of marriage at all levels .... We get down to this nittygritty sort of thing — are the people of my Tradition picking and choosing what we want to be right (or what is convenient) or are we be­ ing ruled by the Word of God. And we say that it’s not that sort of either-or dich­ otomy, that we difinitely are trying to be ruled by the Word of God. (We say) that in the tradition of the Church we find that certain things in here (the Bible) are cul­ turally determined .... You don’t have an absolute, it’s-written-right-here-on-page-156 -type certainty. You have a certainty in the spirit, you have what’s called a moral certainty. And our church is morally cer­ tain that what we are teaching is right. . . “We have an irreconcilable divergence .... You say the Word of God is immut­ able; I say that the Word of God is immut­ able, but it’s the living Word of God that changes with the time .... The Holy Spirit working through the Church makes rele­ vant to each age the essential revelation .... It’s one revelation that grows and is alive.”

Question: "Are you speaking, then, of a continu­ ous revelation?”

“Well, continuous revelation is a par­ ticularly technical tern. . theology that would allow for new rex itions. No, not in that sense. When Si John wrote the last word in the book of - \ velation — Pow that was it. But it’s living aiing .... Tra­ dition is alive.”

Question: “Getting back to something that I might have asked before concerning the sin lists, — is there any such thing as fornication?”

“Yeah, I think that exists outside of marriage and in marriage, and it exists for straight people and gay people. Situations where actual people are being used or hurt or exploited or destroyed, where their free­ dom is being limited, when their ability to be loving people is thwarted, when they’re given over to evil, you know, to hate — then you’ve got a sin . . . You can’t define cate­ gories where that’s always true as far as sex goes. I feel, and I think it’s part of our tradition that murder is always evil, that oppressing the poor is always evil, that dis­ tinctions among people are always wrong.

But you can’t say that straight sex within marriage is always just, or that straight or gay sex outside of marriage is unjust.”

Question: “Is there any act that of itself is per­ verse?”

“Yeah! Any sexual act is perverse if it perverts, turns upside down what it means to be a person — if it’s unloving or exploit­ ative .... Then, too, you don’t have cut and dried situations. Like, in marriage, is adultery always wrong? Well — you know, like if you’ve got two people who are tech­ nically married, but the husband drinks and beats his wife.” (The inference is that in this case adultery would not be consid­ ered wrong.)

Comments: From this point on the interview be­ came quite informal but even in casual con­ versation the differences between Father Feldhausen’s religion and our Lutheran re­ ligion remained evident. You cannot have missed the fact that his whole stance to­ ward the Word of God is diametrically op­ posed to ours. The Bible may be his guide book, his instruction manual, but if he treated his Volkswagen • ith the same de­ ference as he does the Word, I think the poor car would suffer I ; a fair share of neglect. The fact remain: ar in my mind, that, no matter what h ils his approach to Scripture, it is still, ally a matter of “picking and choosing seems to do great disrespect to the J of an eternal, all-knowing God to sa .it His revelation must change with the tireus. This may in­ deed be a comfortable vie . of Scripture be­ cause it does allow the things which are discussed above, ie., fornication, homosex­ ual relations, and even adultery. However, is the comfortable view the right view?

I think this matter of a comfortable view of things is the crux of the matter.

When one is a homosexual, it is comfort­ able to think that God smiles on homosex­ uality. It is also comfortable to believe, as does Father Joe, that man is basically good.

It is comfortable to believe that God will save man in many different ways, for this allows the heathen to enter the gates of heaven. I would be inclined to share these comfortable views of Father Feldhausen too (I don’t like the idea of anyone being condemned to eternal damnation, nor does any thoughtful Christian) if I did not be­ lieve that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, untempered by tradition, and that it alone must be a Christian’s guide and comfort.

One last note: Do not expect people like Father Feldhausen to swear at you, to make an obvious show of dislike, or to be in any way obnoxious. The fact is that Father Feldhausen, at least, was a very co­ operative and friendly person — the kind of person that many people might, in fact, be drawn to personally. In a way, this makes his theology all the more dangerous. It comes in such an appealing guise of Chris­ tian love.

FRIEND Ocreams of laughter roll through the halls on a Saturday afternoon. The excitement that evokes this laughter in the boys’ wards at Bethesda 1 atheran Home is the realization that a friend is coming to visit. For the laugh to md wild anticipa­ tion that overjoys these children is the ex­ pectancy of their “big h ■ •. rs” from North­ western.

The Big Brother P _ mi is now start­ ing its third year. The objective of the pro­ gram is to give as many of these boys at Bethesda a friend he can look up to, a friend who does things with him, a “big brother” who cares what happens to him and definitely takes an interest in him.

In a few moments some “big brothers” arrive. Some will be taking walks down­ town, others flying kites, and still others watching T.V. or talking.

The friendship is not onesided to say the least. The smile when he brings his “little brother” a bottle of soda or when the “little brother” sees his own kite go up in the strong spring breeze is indication enough for the “big brother” to realize his little brother is having a good time.

“Big brothers” who haven’t been sleding in years have gotten on sleds with their ‘little brothers” and laughed as hard as their companions all the way to the bottom of a slushy hill of snow.

A gentleman once said that half the fun is in the anticipation. This is true for

the “little brother” also. I once heard a “little brother” ask his friend from NWC, “You were busy Monday, Tuesday, Wednes­ day, Thursday, and Friday, so you couldn’t come then?”

For many in the program being a “big brother” is a joy and responsibility that

the headlines of tomorrow’s edition of the Watertown Daily Times would read “Curtain Club Becomes Extinct,” what would be the reaction of Watertown’s citi­ zens? Would they shrug their shoulders with a non-commital “who-cares” attitude, or would they do everything in their power to revive this valuable friend of the com­ munity? I would certainly hope they would choose the latter course. After all, it isn’t often that a community can claim the dis­ tinction of having the oldest continuous dramatic organization in the state.

The Curtain Club, Watertown’s answer to the pent-up dramatical inclinations of its citizenry, began in the 1930’s, when the early Chevys and Fords rumbled across the brick streets and Northwestern was pre­ paring to celebrate the diamond anniver­ sary of its existence. The club has been strictly a non-profit organization, and its aim has always been to provide entertain­ ment, education, and recreation to the peo­ ple of this fair city. The club membership, currently numbering about 100, is made up of a cross-section of the citizenry, young and old alike, as well as blue-collar work­ ers, business, and professional people.

The activities of Curtain Club are regu­ larly a musical in the spring, a comedy of some type in the autumn, and during Janu­ ary (to try and ease the pain of a long win­ ter), the club stages an activity known as “Winter Frolicks.” This is a dinner and dance type of affair with a nightclub style of entertainment. For example, last year the club did songs from such hits as Hello Dolly, My Fair Lady, and Camelot.

The ever-present business of the organ­ ization is carried on by a board of directors, consisting of a president, two vice-presif

142

dents, a secretary, a treasurer, as well as chairmen in the areas of membership, pro­ grams, and publicity. Each of these offices carries a two-year term, with no more than two terms in any one office. The organiza­ tion has acquired an old church at 705 Di­ vision Street which it now uses as a club­ house, and may also sometime in the fu­ ture use as their theater. This year for the first time, Curtain Club has hired a pro­ fessional director. The man, James Timmel, is by no means a stranger to the com­ munity; he is both a native of Watertown and a graduate of Northwestern Prep.

On November 21-22 th club presented its fall production of Barefoot in the Park

by Neil Simon. The cast > .isisted of five main characters plus one walk-on. The walk-on was done by our own Tim Meier, the pride of the north woods. As anyone who has ever participated in acting well knows, the final week before production gets very hectic. The Curtain Club found this especially true this year as they even had the actors working on stage construc­ tion.

Certainly no one can deny that the Cur­ tain Club is a great boon to the Watertown community. During the years Northwest­ ern’s own Forum and Curtain Club have become friends striving for a common cause. On many occasions Curtain Club has supplied the necessary props and cos­ tumes which Forum needed for a particu­ lar production. Let’s get Northwestern and all of Watertown working together to help the Curtain Club carry on the fine tradition of dramatic presentation in this commun­ ity. May we all make a serious effort in this direction, lest the curtain fall unex­ pectedly.

A Christian Approach to Marriage

I

the not-too-distant fu'ure, most of us will be entering the bliss'.-.' estate of mar­ riage with its joys and biasings together with its many trials and -nxieties. For­ tunately in our day and ago e do not have to face the problem of a . •.impulsive mar­ riage arranged for us by • parents. In Luther’s time, however, pa; nts frequently planned the marriage of their children in view of the financial or social merits in­ volved with little concern for the feelings SHIRT SERVICE and future happiness of the bridal couple, Luther strongly rebuked such parents for their callous and tyrannical attitude, while at the same time urging prospective hus­ Phone 261-6792 bands and wives to confide in and seek the advice of their parents in such matters.

621 Main Street Watertown This latter admonition, often cast aside and forgotten in our youthful assertions of independence, should perhaps be givenv closer consideration by Christian young men and women.

our youthful lives. Why then, when we are about to make one of the most impor­ tant decisions in our life, should we reject or despise this wonderful source of coun­ sel, whose primary concern is for our pros­ perity and happiness? Admittedly, parents themselves are not paragons of virtue or perfection; yet they frequently have a more lucid insight into certain aspects of the sit­ uation which the enamoured person may fail to perceive or to take into consider­ ation. To adopt an indifferent or rebelli­ ous attitude towards their advice serves no purpose save to deprive the individual of valuable guidance.

In the second place, we should give heed to our parents out of Christian love and respect for them. The Christian does not take advantage of his legal indepen­ dence to shed his parental obligations or to demonstrate that he can make it on his own without their interference. Such a re­ bellious attitude profits neither the individ­ ual nor his parents, who arc interestetd in his welfare. In regards i :is, Luther ap­ propriately remarks: For consider, dear one, it ur parents have covered you with great !.• : >s. how much you owe them, and how t. . finable it is to inwardly grieve them or .. voke them to anger, who have raised ar unshed you so kindly and who sincerely vou. Those who are unmarried should kc»bis in mind and always meditate upon it. For they should get into die habit of honoring parents, which is not only honorable and godly, but is also God's commandment and in accordance with Scripture; it is also useful and beneficial throughout their entire life.

In addition to our parents, the Lord has given us another blessing which we, per­ haps because of our own self-esteem and self-confidence, often fail to take advant­ age of — the privilege of bringing our prob­ lems directly to Him in prayer. Although we see only the superficial and external as­ pects of an individual, God perceives the inward, unseen aspects of man. Since He has ordained marriage and has given it His blessing, is it not proper for us to seek His guidance and to put our trust in Him rather than to rely totally upon our own discern­ ment?

must not regard either marriage or engage­ ment in a frivolous manner, but rather prayerfully seek Gods guidance, give heed to parental advice, and remember the words of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ: “What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.”

Growing Up Goodness

D.L.A.

A Special Girl TA7 hen I get a little older than I am now YY _ which is fifteen — I am going to marry Elizabeth. Yet, a month ago I didn’t even know her. Actually I didn’t know anybody in Podunk, because we just moved here the last week in June, which is the worst time I can think of to move. Every­ body has gone to camp or gone on vacation, and the only people you get to meet are people like Ken, who lives on your street, if you have that kind of miserable luck.

Ken wasn’t on vacation, lie told me, be­ cause he’d already been to lorida, and he winked, so you got the v xgae impression that he’d gone to Fort Lai dale at spring vacation and lived it up.

Lually he went with his dad to a plumbing supply conven­ tion — but that gives you , n idea of Ken. To hear him tell it, he was the biggest oper­ ator in the state, and women went to pieces over him. I had half a hunch he might be telling the truth about that, because Ken is the short, wiry type of guy that girls do seem to go for.

I don’t mean to sell myself short. Back in Hatcreek, where we used to live, I wasn’t exactly looked down on. 1 played football and baseball and I had two or three girls.

But no matter how big you are in one town, moving somewhere else cuts you down to size. It takes a while to get squared away, and if all you have to fill you in on the tri­ bal customs is Ken, you’re in trouble.

It was Ken who filled me in about the End-of-Summer dance. “You’ll have to go, man,” he said. Ken calls everybody man.

“Why?” I asked. “And who with? My mother?” I hadn’t met any girls because there weren’t any girls to meet. It was like a mass evacuation; they all left Podunk somewhere around the middle of June and

| didn’t come back till September sixth, - which was the date of the End-of-Summer dance.

Ken couldn’t, or he wouldn’t, give me any help in that department, but he said that I had to go. The End-of-Summer dance in Podunk amounted to the opening of the Metropolitan Opera or the Mardi Gras Ball.

If you didn’t go, you might just as well as grow a beard and take up calculus for the rest of your life.

“Why you never cared anything about dances before!” Mom said. “Back in Hatcreek you never went to dances.” Which was true, but that was back in Hatcreek.

“Everybody goes to this dance, mom,” I said.

“Well, what of it? Do you just want to follow the crowd all the time, Pat?” The answer to that is yes.

“Well, there must be some girls left in Podunk,” my dad said. “I can’t believe that the entire young female population hides all summer.”

I didn’t believe it either, but situated as I was, with Ken guitime, the only girls I heard about weu .Pe ones consid­ ered suitable, and they - re all away.

As the first of Seple: rolled around I got quite nervous.

“Just forget it,” Mo; said. “Tell Ken you don’t care.”

But mom wasn’t reaP;« as unconcerned as she seemed, because when she came home from shopping th, Iternoon of Sep­ tember third, she was all smiles.

“Pat,” she said, “I found you a girl.”

Now there is a statement to freeze your blood. When your mother says, “I found you a girl,” you get an immediate picture. You know that this girl is going to be wholesome, because wholesomeness is the first thing mothers look for. The girl may be three feet wide or she may be built like a thermometer, but if she is wholesome and clean, that’s all mothers see. To be sure, I have known some pretty sharp wholesome girls, but it wasn’t the wholesomeness that first caught my atten­ tion.

“I ran into Emily Smith in the grocery store today,” mom said. “Think of that!

I went to summer camp with Emily years ago, and now she is married to a man named Armstrong and they live right here in Podunk. And, Pat, she has a daughter, Elizabeth, just about your age. And she 147

says Elizabeth would love to go to the dance with you and introduce you to peo­ ple.”

“What does Elizabeth look like?” I asked — not that I expected an objective answer.

“I don’t know. She’s away at camp, but she’ll be back on the day of the dance, and knowing Emily, I’m sure she’ll be a sweet, wholesome girl.”

The next day she worked me over about flowers. “I want Elizabeth to have a nice corsage,” she said. “Your father will give you five dollars, and I want you to get Eli­ zabeth something special.”

I never heard of spending five dollars on flowers, and I figured mom was a little light-headed. I also figured dad would wel­ come a two-dollar rebate and would re­ member my thrift when I get a driver’s license and we start negotiating about a car. But all I got at the florist for three dollars was some floppy white stuff.

“If you have any suitable garden flow­ ers at home,” the clerk told me, “I can work them in and save you some money.”

She was pretty nice about it, considering all the time I spent pawing through her merchandise.

So I went home to pick <lowers. I pick­ ed those tall big skinny ones — del­ phiniums — and I left the-, at the florist with Elizabeth’s address.

• n there was­ n’t anything left to do Ir. wait till the dance — and worry.

What was I going to m s about to this Elizabeth? I read in mom's book on ado­ lescent behavior that this is the biggest problem girls have — what to say to their dates. And the book tells them not to worry, but to keep their mouths shut and be a good listener. All I can say is, I don’t want any girl I go out with to be a good listener. I want her to talk and talk and talk and save me the trouble. I don’t know what to say to them, especially when I meet them for the first time in a new town.

Naturally Elizabeth didn’t answer the door when my dad drove me over to get her. I think girls get together and pass private laws, and one of them is never to answer the door for a date. Or maybe it’s the parents who pass this law, so they can check you out.

It wasn’t too bad, except Mrs. Arm­ strong kept saying, “I can’t believe it!

Ruth’s little boy!” and went on to tell of 148

her and my mother’s exp] o i a t camp years ago.

That’s when Elizabei • me in.

Elizabeth was about in- size I like a girl to be — a little on t bort side, and small. She had blond hai) and brown eyes, and she was the most flow :vd-up girl you ever saw in your life. :(lower shop lady used the delphiniums, all right. All of them. There were delphiniums from Eli­ zabeth’s shoulder practically to her knees.

I don’t know why, but I decided to play it cool and let on that I planned it that way.

I guess I thought it was easier to pretend that in Hatcreek everybody draped their dates in three-foot corsages.

Mrs. Armstrong looked a little worried, but Elizabeth just smiled and told me that she loved my flowers. When we got in the car my dad looked downright alarmed, and he kept staring at Elizabeth’s corsage in the rear view mirror.

I could just imagine what would happen when we walked into the YMCA. I figured she’d sneak in and try to hide behind a pole or something. But not Eli149

zabeth! She took my arm and sailed me around the hall as if I was somebody spe­ cial.

When she went off to the ladies’ room, I thought sure she’d have some convenient accident — get her corsage caught in a door, or something — but she didn’t. She went through that whole evening weighted down with flowers and never indicated that she thought it was unusual.

There was one girl there who looked more unusual, and that was Ken’s date, Barbara. Ken looked pretty unusual too when he saw me with Elizabeth; his eyes popped out of his head almost and his mouth fell open and he said, “Hi, Pat,” which shows he was surprised.

“How is it today, Barb?” Elizabeth ask­ ed. Barb said it was pretty bad, which I could believe because Barb was covered with bandages.

“Poor Barb got this awful case of poi­ son ivy at camp,” Elizabeth told me, “but she didn’t want to disappoint Ken.” I thought that was too bad, because Ken looked about as disappointed as a hu­ man being could be.

;

My dad picked us up around eleven and drove us to Elizabeth’s house. He had the consideration to pull up the street a little ways to wait for me. He said he could use the street light to read his paper.

“I had a wonderful time, Pat,” Eliza­ beth said at the door, but they always say that, even if you spill something on them.

Usually here is where I have a lot of trouble making conversation, but I didn’t with Elizabeth.

“You probably already had a date,” I said, “and your mother made you come with me. Right?”

She blushed and smiled. “I’m glad that she did,” she said.

I felt too that I ought to say something about the floral tribute. “About the cor­ sage . . . I began.

“I think it’s beautiful,” she said. “I nev­ er had such a beautiful corsage before.”

You just have to kiss a girl who’s that warm-hearted. That is, if you can get close enough to her, which I couldn’t. But Eli­ zabeth took care of that. She pulled out the three biggest delphiniums, the ones that were flopping around her face, and handed them to me.

“Why don’t you take these home to your mother?” she said. “They’re so pretty-"

And I could get close enough to her to kiss her.

The next day Ken spent quite some time telling me how sharp Barb was, and how when I saw her without bandages, I would just go wild. But his heart wasn’t in it. He knew and I knew that Elizabeth is right on top when it comes to girls.

So I’m going to like Podunk, and I’m going to marry Elizabeth when I get older.

number of burials which are suspected as being premature have been located in the western part of the United States. The socalled undertakers used the famous pine box, which actually made the situation worse for those who woke up six feet un­ der. If there had been the apprehension then about being buried alive, I’m sure a good majority would have preferred the simple act of being thrown into the hole without a casket. If there were any chance the “deceased” were alive, the dirt would have presently suffocated him. This privi­ lege was afforded only to bums and cattle rustlers who bit the dust. Now, of course, one must be pronounced dead by an official of the government, and there is always a waiting period for things to proceed through the proper legal channels.

The second instance where premature burial is potentially conceivable, is where, by some strange coma-like arrest, a per­ son is pronounced dead, .. t has the cap­ ability of regaining consciousness. This is yet more of a problem th. . the first in­ stance, because, even th« he medical profession has devised o.\ uiely delicate measuring instruments, is the dis­ pute over what can be sidered dead, and what can be consider.

Even Shakespeare used it in the plot of Romeo and Juliet. To any educated in the art of undertaking, the thought that such recoveries today are pos­ sible is ridiculous, but one must not dis­ count the possibilities of human error.

Freak things can happen to systems that are considered foolproof For being such a slight chance, there have been a lot of interesting stories in this regard. A friend of mine knew an el­ derly lady who was having her misgivings about her funeral and the preparations for it. She recalled that in her youth she was watching a funeral procession where the coffin was carried on a caisson. Unfortun­ ately, one of the wheels hit a deep rut in the road and the coffin fell off onto the roadway. To add to the confusion, the body rolled out and came to rest right in front of her.

pumped by a well-functioning heart. This went unnoticed and the “deceased” was buried fifteen minutes later. There are many instances where it is said that bodies have stirred in their caskets right during the funeral service, and even regained full consciousness — shocking everyone pre­ sent. In one instance some pranksters at­ tached electrical contacts to a body on dis­ play in a funeral home and connected them to a high voltage outlet. While mourn­ ers were passing, the jokesters sent large impulses through the body which made it lurch violently, creating quite a scene.

What was more frightful was that the im­ pulses brought the body back to life tem­ porarily. So much for the lucky indivi­ duals who were discovered to be living be­ fore they were buried.

As for those expired individuals who flip out when they wake up in the casket, as I said before, much evidence has been discovered which supports the claim that there have been many such premature bur­ ials. Had there been more graves dug up and inspected in the last couple centuries, the people back then would have realized that their carelessness in burial practices had caused a few individuals a real panic.

By the latter part of the 1800s, the wealthy folk sought to have devices install­ ed in their graves which would allow them to signal to the outside world that there was life below. These contraptions ranged from very simple flag indicators, hand operated, to complex instruments which were activated by any slight movement of the body. These sensors set off a combin­ ation of horns, flares, and anything else which would attract attention. The most popular number was a little bending metal rod with a bell on the end to which was attached a string that led down into the casket. When the premature occupant re­ vived, he simply tugged on the string and rang the bell. As could be expected, some

wiseacres found these devices prime ma­ terial for their hijinx. By attaching a string of their own to the bell, they could ring it conveniently from behind an adjacent tree.

They found the hysterics of evening pas­ sers-by quite amusing.

In the past and present, persons who have the phobia about being buried alive have several outs. Cremation is an excel­ lent way to insure not having a premature burial. The wake, although intended for ether purposes, also served to allay fears of a friend being inhumed while yet not hav­ ing taken off on Gossamers wings fully.

Mausoleums are especially attractive to those who consider that the body that wakes up in the coffin can at least console himself in not being under ground, provid­ ing someone informed him beforehand that he would rest in a mausoleum. In New Orleans, where almost all the graves are above ground, it is said that many of them have latches on the inside.

Morbid as it might seem, everybody at one time or another worries that he or she might be subject to this kind of uptight­ ness. It has not been jusl feeling com­ mon to the western world. Micronesians were so afraid of being ; idered dead while still being alive, that y made “endocannibalism” a tribal in • ution. This ritual was simply the resp . ibility of the relatives to eat, in entirety. body of the dead man. No doubt the A r lean Indians had some claustrophobic tc . .iencies when they decided to expose the; dead on plat­ forms to afford the spirit fj bom of move­ ment.

If at times one gets the impression that fees to the morticians are extremely exor­ bitant, it would be interesting to find out how much those who have been entombed alive would have been willing to pay to get out.

ALUMNI In 1896 an alumni meeting took place here on campus much like the one still held here each Spring at graduation. The alum­ ni decided that Northwestern University needed a school paper. So in June of 1897 152

the first issue of the Black and Red appear­ ed. But the school was founded in 1864, and in 33 years it seems that there must have been attempts at some kind of a school paper.

In 1905 two alumni of NWC wrote some articles for the Black and Red. In these articles they referred to some of the

forerunners of the B & R. It seems that somewhere in the dark past, somewhere before 1875, there were at least six college papers of some sort or another. They were called Die Concordia, Die Fliegende Blaetter, Der Student, Ho Angelos, He Angelos, and Der Bote. Der Student was written weekly from Sept, to Dec. of 1874, but prob­ ably one will ever know when the others were produced. Another paper, Der Studenten Schnick-Schnack, ran for twelve is­ sues during the Fall of 1875. These earli­ est papers were written in ink on large sheets of paper and were illustrated with colored ink. The paper contained the gen­ eral run of the mill material — comments on student life, critical and humorous arti­ cles and poems. The last page contained puzzles and advertisements after the pat­ tern of German magazines of the time, a custom the B & R still has. Usually there was only one copy of the paper, and it was circulated through the student body.

Nothing was done for some 20 years.

In 1895 the college Juniors put out a paper.

At that time the Seniors • re supposed to head up all the doings o ; . mipus. One of these duties was to stock . ending room.

Well, as the first weeks of 1895, pass­ ed, the Seniors didn't • thing about the reading room or any ; else on cam­ pus. The Juniors held ting and de­ cided to get a few things They took over the management of iding room and produced a paper to . n this room.

It was a hand written pap- • . a dealt main­ ly with the current Junioreor feud. Af­ ter about three issues the . liter was pret­ ty well settled, and the paper met its end too. But soon after this Volume 1 of the Black and Red came out, and in spite of

underground attempts from time to time to undermine our traditional paper, it has continued until the present, when the mem­ bers of NWC’s 100th graduating class are puttting out its Volume, Vol. 74.

found their true calling on campus. Intead of sitting around in West Hall and watching T.V., these tireless servants now handle our linen service. The results are encouraging. No longer does the student have to wait in line ten minutes only to find that there are no more towels. He now waits in line twenty minutes and receives a special ticket from a resident assistant for a free dinner at the Western Wisconsin District Pastor’s Convention, which he nev­ er receives. However, if he makes it through the teeming throng to a second room with­ out being mugged, beaten, and robbed of his ticket, he receives his clean linen. He then can proceed to ambulate back through the crowd, elated over the fact that the canteen workers can count out two sheets, two towels, a washcloth, and a pillow-case with the aid of an elder from West Hall or two.

The editors were going to ask the Music Department to contribute an article to this issue, but there was a meeting of the de­ partment in his study and he couldn’t be reached for comment.

Construction on the new gym is pro­ ceeding with breakneck speed. One report has it that one day recently the bricklayers working on the east wall -d two full rows of bricks before sundown At this rate ex­ perts predict the struct in" will be in use within the present dec.

— well within the bounds of the work: n’s union con­ tract.

Homecoming 1970 came off with great success and with maybe a few isolated “triangle” love affairs, but a couple of days before the festivities I happened to over­ hear a small group of guys chanting this strange verse: One time six maidens felt confined Amidst the fields of southern Minn.

They grabbed a phone and called some friends, SUPPER CLUB Or Who said six dates for them they’d win.

By letter, phone, and other ways 5-10 p.m. Daily The plans were made for Homecoming: 5-11 p.m. Sat. Six from the Minnesota plains 4-10 p.m. Sun. To join six here for the weekend fling.

The scheme began to formulate; PIPERSVILLE Dial 261-2651 The six plus six were matched in twos, 154

And both the groups said, “Fine, all set,” When one more time by phone came news.

It seems the “weaker six” had called To try to change the well-laid plan: “The date is off; were coming stag.”

That left six men in the frying pan.

A wilder crew you’ve never seen Except in combat or on stage Than six Northwesternites who were, To say the least, in mortal rage.

But now the scene is calm and still.

The date and setup have been shelved.

Yet this lament might still be heard: “There weren’t six pairs, just persons twelve.”

Suggestions for a senior class gift have been pouring in from all sides. Among the worthwhile ideas are these: — giving the third floor Mickey Mouse Club a new surfboard.

— donating a few dollars ro the second floor Hoi Polloi Fund, which :in dire need.

— buying a set of mousetraps for the first floor Rat Pack.

— funding a drive to rekv... Saturday clas­ ses but to eliminate > • av and Tues­ day classes.

— setting up a drive to e- p a; the faculty game rooms.

— establishing the annua: Sack Frick Award for the frosh who best models a green beanie.

— purchasing a set of Cutco knives for the dining hall, — providing Bob Gerke with his own pri­ vate housephone.

— building a parking lot on the football field.

Question To Think About: When the old gym is remodeled as a music center, will the sprinter outside be clad in a tuxedo and given a violin?

In the hope that Christmas vacation approaches as fast as 8:00 o’clock rolls around every morning, Floyd and his with ered staff of procrastinators say farewell for 1970.

NORTHLAND LUMBERJACKS OUTCLASS TROJANS, 30-14 Last year, Northland’s fine halfback Doug Rosenthal ran all over the Trojan de­ fense, but the Trojans h id enough fire­ power to pull out a vie • s. This year’s contest was also a person .1 triumph for the Rambling Rose as he d up big yard­ age totals and three toi • downs. Unfor­ tunately for the Trojans did not have enough firepower to ofi this fine per­ formance.

The character of the .me resembled that of every game in v h the Trojans have been beaten soundly Northland broke our spirits quickly with an agonizing nine­ ty-yard punt return. On the next series, the “Jacks” used a face mask violation to their advantage and converted a 33 yard field goal. The score was 10-0.

Northwestern’s offense was nonexistent in the first half and must have been hop­ ing that the big Lumberjack defense would suddenly shrink into the pathetic Concor­ dia aggregation of the previous game. A tipped pass gave the ball back to Northland again. The rest of the quarter saw the young Trojans containing the Northland attack.

With 9:45 left in the second quarter, Rosenthal scored from the five, 17-0. A mixup in the center-punter exchange gave Northland the ball on our 28 and Rosen­ thal pushed the score to 24-0. The close of the half gave NWC fans a little hope 156

.

but NWC was not destined to move the ball against the tough Muskies. Guard Dave Stemhagen called the Lakeland de­ fense the toughest he has faced this sea­ son. Winston Long almost scored again by returning an intercepted lateral to our 20 yard line just before the half ended.

The second half didn’t see any major revisions in the script. The Trojans were hardly out of the gymnasium when Lake­ land intercepted a tipped pass and convert­ ed it into a 45 yard touchdown. Lakeland scored midway in the period after a fum­ ble at midfield (counting up the mistakes and turnovers?), 31-0. Lakeland got seven more when their second string quarterback got his big chance and promptly threw a bomb. The 38-0 licking was not softened in spite of several moments of comic re­ lief. Gene Jahnke remarked on the side­ lines that “the penalty was our best offen­ sive weapon.” Another situation which might have had people in stitches, had it not occurred during such a frustrating game, was this: Dave Toepel, one of the former greats from the last championship era, was cheering on the Trojans and his brother. Dave decided that the referees were not seeing crucial calls in the same way that he would have called them. He vocally expressed his displeasure to the officials in “rational” conversation. Since WINSTON LONG AN KELAND this was delaying the football game, some BURN NWC, . :-0 of NWC’s other fans feared an unsports­ Several years from m , you may see manlike conduct penalty and began to re­ a pro football star doing commercials for strain Dave. I got the biggest kick out of the American Tobacco C Mr. Winston seeing Dean Chworowsky standing on top Long of Lakeland is not famous solely for off the bench, waving his arms, and yell­ his catchy handle; he can also play foot­ ing: “Start the game, refs! He’s not one ball. After Northwestern’s defense had of our fans!” played very well in the opening minutes CONCORDIA RIVER FOREST of the game, frustration struck. Our poor GETS REVENGE, 22-21 offense became Lakeland’s best offense.

The Trojans had several things going Rog Schultz attempted to unload a pass after a devastating blitz. Winston Long for them Nov. 7. It was Homecoming. (now do you comprehend the lengthy, un­ Parents, alumni, and girlfriends filled the orthodox introduction?) intercepted the stand to overflowing. The Trojans had al­ abortive attempt and loped twenty yards ready beaten two Concordia teams this sea­ into the end zone. Things didn’t get any son and were beginning to like this form better either. Bob Balza couldn’t find the of religious crusading. Seven seniors were handle on a punt snap deep in our terri­ playing their last game for the Black and tory. Lakeland recovered the ball and struck Red. The game was close all the way, but at once on a 24 yard TD pass. 14-0. in spite of the advantages mentioned above, The second period contained little scor­ several small factors combined to produce ing. Lakeland raised its halftime-lead to an agonizing defeat.

17-0 with a 28 yard field goal. Ed Meier Concordia used a punishing ground made two nice receptions in the quarter, game to grind out yardage. Northwestern for the future as Northland ground out several first downs on the ground.

The Trojans were not dead yet. Dave Palmquist and Tom Haar put on a twoman goal line stand in the middle of the third quarter. Mark Toepel carried on a fine 30 yard gainer, only to see the Trojans fumble on the next play. Rosenthal (of course!) scored on a 30 yard run and the score stood at 30-0.

Enter Rog Schultz and Glen Thompson.

They collaborated for a 53 yard touchdown pass to put our team on the scoreboard, 30-7.

In the fourth quarter gutsy Steve Ehlke was once again the Trojan quarterback after many “experts” (including this writ­ er) had written him off for the season with his broken collarbone.

Dave Palmquist made one of his patent­ ed steals on an interception at the North­ western 18. This key play not only stopped a long Northland drive but it put NWC in good position — good for an 80 yard in­ stant replay of Schultz to r.oropson bomb, that is.

lost any chance for an early lead by fumbl­ ing on the first two offensive plays. After the second of these, Concordia scored the initial points on a pass from Meunier to Mueller. 7-0.

Northwestern began to click late in the first half. Maybe they ought to call Rog Schultz “A-train (like Alan Thompson)” because the Mayville junior seems to thrive on the antiquated “A” formation. After Schultz had made good yardage on several sweeps, a safety valve pass to Ed Meier re­ sulted in a good gain to the six-yard line.

Schultz tied the game at 7-7 on another run off of the “A” formation.

Two minutes later Mark Toepel got sticky fingers and used the five-finger dis­ count on one of Meunier’s passes. Schultz faked a run and lofted one for Ed Meier, who was waving frantically in the open spaces of the end zone. Ed dropped the ball. But the play had worked so well, the Trojans had to try it again. This time Meier redeemed himself and sent the Tro­ jans to the locker room with a 14-7 lead.

With only three minutes gone in the third quarter NWC had another score. It was set up by a thirty-yard toss to Meier.

Schultz did the honors in three carries, and our boys led 21-7.

Jim Kuehl intercepted with three min­ utes left in the third period to stop a strong Concordia threat on the one. But after the offense stalled, Concordia marched thirty yards, aided by a roughing penalty to their second TD. They went for the two point conversion, and the officials ruled that their end had gotten into the end zone for the two points. Jimmy Kuehl, the defen­ der, and countless other NWC fans begged to differ. However, we still held a 21-15 lead and the ruling seemed unimportant.

That judgment proved to be ever so wrong minutes later. After the Cougars had anticipated a screen pass and inter­ cepted it, Milwaukee Lutheran alumnus Dennis Meunier threw a perfect thirty-five yard TD pass. After the extra point, the score stood 22-21.

Northwestern’s only threat to Concor­ dia’s slim lead came with about seven min­ utes left. A drive stalled and George Swan­ son just missed from 48 yards out. It is indeed ironic that Swanson again had a remote opportunity to beat Concordia with a long field goal, just as he did last year.

It is also ironic that Northwestern was beaten because of its own courtesy. It is the privilege of the home team in the NAIA to decide on whether to play with the twopoint conversion rule. Concordia wanted the rule to be used, NWC yielded, and was killed by its own kindness.

Thus the Trojans ended the season with a 3-5 record. But the Trojans are a young team and can be expected to improve stead­ ily next year. Only seven seniors will grad­ uate. See you at the games next year I

SENIOR SALUTES Coach Umnus often tells his players that a team is only as good as his seniors.

This year he had a fine group of them, al­ though they were few in number. The sev­ en kept the team in a good mental frame of mind. This was no easy task — trying to help young players bounce back from some hard lickings like 56-0, 38-0, and 30-14. These guys would be the last ones to want any glory, but I feel they should at least be introduced to the Black and Red readership.

Robert “Bo” Balza — Bob is the first scho­ larship athlete at NWC. Coach Umnus saw Bob punting in in; •:murals and of­ fered him a pair of foote l shoes to play for NWC. Bob is alw seeking per­ fection and did some fine kicking in the Homecoming game.

Tom “Haarski” Haar — Tom has been a fixture at middle linebacker now for sev­ eral years. He is the intellectual on the team and often keys himself on bus trips by reading heavy fiction. Tom uses his intelligence to read offensive keys. He usually is in the right place at the right time. The Northland coach called Tom the finest linebacker they’ve faced all season.

Rich “Fatta Pig (inherited from Gary Richmond)” Kogler — Rich is another five-year man and got to play on Northwestern’s great team of five seasons ago.

He is an offensive center and a real scrapper. On occasions of great need.

Coach Umnus uncages Rich and inserts him at linebacker where he excels in goal line stands. Rich is the resident Romeo of the squad.

158

Jimmy “Bird” Kuehl — Small as far as football players go. Jim Kuehl is a big hitting safety. Perhaps you recall one stop he made in the Northland game in which he was knocked silly. Jim has come up with fine defensive plays and interceptions. On some punt returns he showed the moves and speed he used as a tiny star halfback of the Prep B team.

(Bak&hy

James “Igor” Naumann — A fine athlete in three sports, James is a ferocious de­ fensive end. Opposing quarterbacks were sometimes disappointed because they ran into Igor so often. Igor played offen­ sive end in high school and early in his college career. When injuries crippled the Trojans this year, Igor did double duty as a tackle. His greatest moment this year came when he twinkle-toed his way to the ten-yard line on a rare kick­ off return against Concordia of Milwau­ kee.

Dave is one of those little guys v ; o fights in the Land of the Giants. He never quits even though his opponent might outweigh him by almost 100 pounds Dave is quite a humorist of the earthy Herb Shriner vintage and kept the team loose in many practices. If one play worked consistent­ ly all year, it was the famous “10”. This sweep had good success due to the efforts of chiefly one man, Dave Sternhagen.

Coach Umnus has called Dave the best blocker he had this year.

Legalized Abortion?

'

; * :

A classified ad was received by the Black ** and Red this past month from the Abortion Referral Service (ARS). They re­ quested that we print the ad indefinitely as a public sendee to our student body as do many colleges and universities through­ out the country or, if this was not possible, they would pay the going rate for the ad.

Two letters accompanied the ad. The first explained the purpose and methods employed by ARS. It explained that for a cost of between S200 - $300 an abortion work or wasn’t used, the unwanted preg­ could be performed if the patient had not nancy must be taken care of.

A Unique Time of Year "Phe Christmas holidays are over now. All * the good times, that warm-hearted feel­ ing, “Peace on earth and good will toward men,” all those and much more are behind us. Now we look forward to the long win­ 162

ter months. Semesters are of prime con­ cern for many of us. And Thanksgiving seems like a long, long time ago.

This is the dreaded third quarter, the time when there’s “nothing to do.” This is

the time of the year when the bad attitudes come to the fore in most of us.

The third quarter is when most of us walk around with long faces. The weather doesn’t agree with us. The snow hampers us. The food is terrible. It’s time to start working on those hated term papers. The tests come from all ends. Saturday classes are a big pain. All we can look forward to is that blessed month of June!

Well, this year let’s make it different.

We should return to the spirit of Thanks­ giving. Let’s not walk around with long faces this year. A Christian is supposed to have the best attitudes on this earth. So instead of complaining, let’s be thankful.

Let’s be glad that we’re alive and well, that we have enough food to eat, that we’re giv­

en the opportunity to do term papers and have Saturday classes, so that we can learn.

Let’s be thankful that we’ve been given this privilege to train and be educated for the day when we’ll need it.

Just for a change, let’s make the atmos­ phere of this third quarter optimistic and happy, not dismal and pessimistic. There are so many things that we have to be thankful for. It takes more than ten fing­ ers to count all our blessings on. Let’s be thankful for the things we’ve got, and stop complaining about what we don’t have and what displeases our little fancies!

Let’s make this third quarter different.

It makes life so much easier for you and everybody else, too.

and she asked him if he played tennis.

When he told her he did, she said there was a junior and senior tournament every summer and they gave silver cups for the championship. He asked her who won the junior championship last year, and she said she had. A couple days later he played her on the tennis courts behind the hotel and beat her three straight sets. After he took the last set point he said: “Sorry.” He didn’t know why he said it, but it seemed kind of a shame to trim a girl the first time you played her, especially as she had won the junior championship last year. Linda’s older sister was standing by watching them, and while Pat was chasing a ball that Linda had knocked out of the tennis courts for one set point, he heard Linda’s sister say to her friends, “I think they’re just the cut­ est things together. When he beat her, he apologized.” Pat felt like a fool when he heard Linda’s sister talking that way, and he went right to his room and got his swim­ ming trunks and swam down in the lake all by himself until dinner time.

All the other kids were yelling at him to tell who his girl was, so he said Linda was.

She was sitting across from him, and when he said it, she stretched out her hand and he took it and they shook hands. Linda was still looking down at the floor and try­ ing to keep a straight face. Pat felt very silly, and when the station wagon pulled up at the hotel a few minutes later, he jumped out and started chasing Bill Pres­ ton and Arthur Friend until he chased them indoors. But after that he prowled around the enormous hotel, full of the delicious expectancy of suddenly encountering her.

Every week night there was a dance at the Casino, and he danced most of the dances with her; she was just about his height, and he didn’t like looking down at girls when he danced with them. One af­ ternoon in the Casino, when they were alone, she put a waltz on the little portable phonograph that was there and taught him how to waltz; and that night when the or­ chestra played a waltz, they did the waltz on the floor right before everybody. Pat insisted on waiting until some other coup­ les started first, but after he and Linda got going the few other couples dropped out and it became practically an exhibition dance. When Pat noticed they were all alone, he wanted to stop too, but Linda squeezed his hand and held him tighter 164

around the neck and made him finish it out. She kept whispering to him what to do next whenever he got panicky. When the music stopped, everybody applauded, and Pat felt very embarrassed, but he could­ n’t help shaking all over with silent laugh­ ter, just like the time he saw his sister go­ ing up the aisle to get married.

Linda invented a whistle so they could call to each other when they were wander­ ing around the hotel, or whenever one wanted to draw the other away from a crowd to say something. The whistle was the same as the beginning of “The StarSpangled Banner,” the part that goes, “Oh, say, can you see,” only in fast time. Nearly every morning Linda, who was an early riser, used to whistle it under Pat’s window, and he would get out of bed and go to the window in his pajamas and whistle it back and wave to her. One morning the whistle woke his father, who wanted to know who was making that confounded noise, and Pat said it was just one of the kids. After that he got up earlier and whistled under Lin­ da’s window.

As soon as she char into her swim­ ming suit they would g vn to the lake up a couple of and go swimming. Pat swimming masks and pairs of swim­ dive for stones ming fins; they would il or shells. Linda got to K retty good div­ er for a girl, although never took her out into deep water to .

But she was a real good swimmer. V ken they had div­ ed for about an hour, they would go in to breakfast.

Pat was leaving for Wisconsin on the first of September, as his father had to be back at work on the second, and Pat him­ self had a dentist appointment.

On the last day of August he rose early and whistled under Linda’s window, and she came down with her swimming suit on.

When they got to the lake she started to walk over to the place under the Casino where they had stored their swimming masks and fins, but Pat said, “Let’s just swim this morning.”

“All right,” said Linda, “let’s swim way out. Let’s swim over to the island.”

So they swam over to the island, which was about half a mile out in the lake. There was plenty of sun and almost no wind, and the lake was very calm. They swam to-

gether side by side for a while, and then Pat started to swim very rapidly. Linda tried to keep up with him, but he soon left her behind, and then turned around and started to swim back to her very rapidly.

When he was about twenty feet away from her, he dove under and then came up right in front of her.

“You’re a regular Johnny Weissmuller, aren’t you?” laughed Linda.

They were in shallow water now and it was easier to stand up and walk to the is­ land than to swim.

“Come on,” said Pat, “I’ll give you a head start and beat you to the island.”

“All right,” said Linda, starting to run, “but give me a decent start, now.”

He watched her body movements as she ran until she was quite a way ahead of him. Then he dug in and siarted after her.

They finished in a dead k at the island’s edge and fell at full lc : i in the sand, laughing and panting. up on her After a while, Lind, knees. Pat was still lyh one with his face in his folded arm da picked up a twig and began to tit ■s car with it.

up, you can’t be going around with Cath­ olic girls. Besides, Linda’s funny-looking.

There are plenty of nice children here for you to play with.”

Pat looked down at the floor. “Aw, heck,” was all he said. His mother led the way in to breakfast. His father was already eatting buckwheat cakes and little pig saus­ ages when they got to the table. Pat’s mother turned to the waitress. “I’d like grapefruit. Will you have a grapefruit, Pat darling?”

Pat spent the rest of the day in his room reading. Several times he heard the “Oh, say, can you see” whistle under his win­ dow, but he didn’t answer. That night there was a going away party for all those who would be leaving to go back to school.

At the party Pat avoided Linda and danced with all the other girls. When the orches­ tra played a waltz, he went out on the bal­ cony. He looked at the lake shining through the dark. He saw somebody walking in the sand on the beach. It was Linda in her white dress, walking with her head bent down. She walked to the end of the beach, and then turned around and walked back.

Pat watched for a while. He felt very bad and wanted to whistle but didn’t. The waltz ended, and he went back inside.

A week later while he was getting ready to go back to school, his mother came into his room and handed him a post card. She handed it to him without saying anything and then walked out of the room. The post card had a picture of several very big and very red roses on it. On the back it said.

Suddenly he rose to his knees and look­ ed at his wristwatch.

“Gosh,” he said, “it’s ten after eight. We ought to be starting back.”

Linda rose and they swam back to the hotel without saying anything. Pat’s moth­ er was standing on the front porch when they reached the hotel. Pat could tell right off that his mother was mad.

Dear Pat: I don’t know why you are mad at me. Did I do something to make you mad? If I did, I am very sorry. You know I like you very much. I dream­ ed about you last night.

Your friend always, Linda Pauly

“Your mother’s looking for you, Linda,” Pat’s mother said. Linda said thank you and went into the hotel.

;

It’s the dawning of a new era! A new gym is being built, our junior varsity makes its debut, and Northwestern has a new coach. These three factors promise to bring changes to the Northwestern basketball program in the next few years. In the re­ cent past, Northwestern’s basketball teams seemed to be living proof of Murphy’s Third Law: If anything can go wrong, it will. The progress may not come as rapidly as we might hope, but some progress will come.

This all may be well and good, but some of you (note: the writer is probably making references to fifty “sliding” Sen­ iors) may not be around to witness this long-range catharsis. You want to know about this year’s team. Well, our team may not rival Jacksonville’s two seven footers, but we will have a tall front line. Six footsix “Igor” Naumann is an old vet who can rebound and shoot with authority. His pro­ tege and rapidly improving Sophomore partner is Fox Valley’s Beck Goldbeck. Beck is 6'7" and seems to gain confidence and prowess with every passing second of play­ ing time. We are all hoping for and ex­ pecting the rapid recovery of talented Glen Thompson, the coach’s son. Roger Kuerth, a Sophomore recruited from the tough play­ grounds of Juneau, is one of those lithe, speedy forwards now in vogue in the N.B.A. Larry Lemke, Norm Seeger, and Dave Kriehn are all good shooters who are not afraid to set up their teammates for easy shots. The coach will have the luxury of having a pair of speedy, ball-hawking guards to complement his stable of fine shooters. Roger Schultz and Freshman Mark Toepel have been impressive in changing the tempo of the game, and there­ by upsetting our opponents. Dave “Shin Splints” Palmquist is the usual replace­ ment for the big men. Dave is known for his persevering drives and persistent el­ bows.

The Trojans have a schedule which may not overawe them, and which will pro­ vide ample opportunities for upsets. Lake­ land, Dominican, Northland, and Milton will all be sleeping soundly before they

meet Tommy (sic) Trojan in the first round, but some of them may burn a little midnight oil while preparing to play NWC in the second round. Dominican is the ob­ vious favorite. They have two all-confer­ ence players returning from a team which tied for the conference championship last year. They will also gain two fine players from Mount Saint Paul College, which has merged with Dominican this year. Lake­ land is always tough. Milton has many new faces and a new coach. They do not figure to be a powerhouse. Northland has four returning lettermen, but is another un­ known quantity.

COMEBACK EFFORT FAILS TO DOWN THE EAGLES 82-76 The season’s opener gave NWC’s oftbellicose fans a preview of the coming sea­ son. All fans with pacemakers are warned to stay away! The comeback referred to in the title requires a little explanation. St. Procopius’ team had two fine shooting guards. Their whole team was fantastic in their ability to get oO quick shots. The game was close for the r). ■ fourteen min­ utes. Northwestern stayed about seven points behind Proco durit , the early going, thanks largely to Larry eke’s fine longrange bombing, and Me Toepel’s hustl­ ing play.

•nee it was the Then the roof fell in first game of the new sc on, the Trojans’ big men got noticeably ;ved. Proco kept up its hot shooting and w orked for many easy layups. In about six minutes’ time we dropped twelve points farther behind and were confronted by a 51-31 halftime de­ ficit.

The second half saw NWC’s young Tro­ jans storm back with hustling, pressing, aggressive tactics. Mark Toepel scored six­ teen of his twenty-two points in the second half and was instrumental in leading the turnabout. We managed to whittle their twenty-point lead down to a six-point mar­ gin at the final horn. Two things which put the last nails into our collective coffin: we stole several balls in the last minute but couldn’t convert them into points; we mis­ sed eighteen free throws in the game, many of them in the bonus situation.

Proco was a well-coached team. The comeback by our team against such a fine opponent is a tribute to the never-say-die character of the Trojans and to our own

fine coach.

Dave Palmquist learned that he’s no Marquis Hanes. After a questionable call, Dave began to dribble down the court. He stopped and carefully placed the ball on the floor. The official not only refused to com­ pliment Dave on his fine little exhibition of “Showtime,” but he shocked Dave and the Trojan fans by whistling a technical foul against ol’ Shin Splints.

Northwestern’s fans played a small role in the comeback effort. They saw to it that a young Proco guard, affectionately dub­ bed “the Rookie,” will not soon forget his debut in the Northwestern crackerbox (soon to be known as the AOL Memorial Auditorium).

TROJANS FLAUNT THEIR ELDERS FROM THE SEM 103-80 Although outweighed by about thirty pounds per man (thanks 10 the culinary habits of one Fredrick Zimmermann), Northwestern’s Trojans easily outclassed their brethren from th.r intellectual Nir­ vana, Wisconsin Luther , Seminary.

TJu anting was so cold that a non-inform» asserby might have mistaken the gym :*.n experimental cryogenics laboratory rthwestem did have a functional fast b? ... but often fail­ ed to make use of its haid-ivcn mismatches.

Led by Rog Kuerth, Northwestern piled up eleven straight points to take a 47-35 halftime lead. Ron “Airball” Gorske was doing his thing for the Sem (or was it for the Trojans?) during this stretch. The play before the half would have provided a good training film on checking for the Montreal Canadians. Ron Hahm of Sem played his usual steady game in the first half. It seems like Ron could be stationed in Antarctica for twenty years and still be able to play excellent basketball at a moment’s notice.

Dave Kriehn and Rog Kuerth led the Tro­ jans in the first half with ten and eleven points.

Northwestern continued to add to its halftime lead. At the midpoint of the sec­ ond half the score was 74-53. One memor­ able play saw Igor steal the ball and make an Alcindor-type dash down the floor which ended with Dobberstein of the Sem on his back, and Igor with egg on his face. However, Igor did manage to hold down his 167

ball-handling tendencies long enough to score seventeen points in the second half.

Beck and Igor really began to dominate the boards in the second half.

A few eyebrows were raised when shy, reserved David Schottey stepped forth to lead the traditional Sem cheer. Mr. Schot­ tey proved up to the task, however. His latent exhibitionism, never before witnes­ sed by those who know him, reached its apex. The Sem student body, prompted by the weird and ambiguous motions of the dervish, upheld Sem tradition with another shoddy recitation of the cheer.

The Trojans’ 103 points was not a school record. One record was set in the game. Bobby Schumann set a NAIA shoetying record of 90.8 seconds. Unfortun­ ately for Bobby, the record was not allowed to stand, because of the five-mile tailwind caused by Bamie Lehmann’s hot clarinet.

Naumann’s twenty-three points led the Trojans to a 1-1 season record, Dave Kriehn finished with fourteen, and Kuerth added fifteen.

MARANATHA BAPTISTS IMMERSE THE TROJANS 73-67 Led by the triumvirate of Roger Kohlmansberger, Rufus “Joe Maranatha” Roades, and talented cente lark Michienzi, Maranathaa gained re:; ctability with its first victory over North tern in a maj­ or sport. Michienzi and hlmansberger are big-time ballplayers id the Maran­ atha team should not be • .fitly regarded

by Trojan fans. Michien ,s a real bane to the Trojan hopes. He de many pic­ ture drives and was deadly from the freethrow line. Missed free throws again hurt the Trojans. While Maranatha was sink­ ing twenty-seven of thirty-eight attempts, the Trojans could convert only nine of their twenty-three chances.

Maranatha used their free throws to build up a 38-31 lead at the half. They then slowed the tempo in the second half. Num­ erous ball handling errors by the slightly stunned and obviously eager Trojans only helped Maranataha increase its lead to fourteen points with fourteen minutes to play.

Schultz and Toepel used intimidation and steals to start a period of resurgence for the Trojans. Igor Naumann was lost on fouls, but Kuerth and Palmquist picked up the scoring until the Trojans trailed by

168

* two with three to play. Maranatha cush­ ioned its lead to five with thirty seconds to play. Northwestern scored, but its last hope faded when a shot was missed with only seventeen seconds remaining. Jim Naumann was the only Trojan in double fig­ ures with eighteen. I’m going to make a rash prediction and state that Northwest­ ern will probably be out for revenge in ear­ ly January when we play Maranatha again.

The day was not a total washout. Our JV’s won their first game of the season by slaughtering Maranatha JV’s, 93-55. The Trobabes had six men in double figures, led by Soph Larry Zahn’s twenty-one points.

The team members are Zahn, Don Thomp­ son, Bobby Schumann, Mark Lindner, Steve Ehlke, John Mattek, John Gawrisch, and Charlie Degner.

A very cold spell at the start of the sec­ ond half really changed the game around.

NWC could score only two points in seven minutes of play. By that time Dominican led by nine, 52-43. One wonders whether the Dominican coach threatened his play­ ers with extra duty in purgatory, because their defense suddenly came alive after the half. They caused the Trojans to take poor shots, throw away passes, and shy away from the backboard. Jansta continued his torrid long range shooting. Dominican pad­ ded its lead and sustituted freely.

Northwestern got rather balanced scor­ ing, but no one could match Jansta’s game high of twenty-nine points. Beck had eighteen, Igor thirteen, Rog Schultz twelve, and Mark Toepel eleven. One encouraging note 169

WRESTLERS FIGHT WAVE OF INJURIES

Open Daily at 1 p. m.

Wrestling, which became an intercol­ legiate sport at NWC last winter, is grow­ ing in popularity every year. This year Ed Pieper is the coach. The coach’s squad has many vets back from last year, but lacks a 118 pound wrestler. Alumni of Michigan Lutheran Sem comprise the greatest por­ tion of the squad, with support from sever­ al former Preps and a Wisconsin Lutheran alumnus. The greatest problem which Coach Pieper must surmount is the wave of injuries which has flooded his team.

Dale Tollefson broke a bone in his elbow, and may be out for the year. Marc Bode, Scott Dummann, and M.i:c Hintz have all been bothered with pain . injuries. Have you considered buying dozen copper wristbands, Coach Piep

Dominican’s JV’s easily handed the Trobabes a 99-76 licking. Northwestern had five men in double figures in Schumann, Lindner, Zahn, Mattek, and Ehlke, but it just wasn’t enough.

NWC TAKES SECOND IN MADISON QUADRANGULAR Northwestern scored a total of seventy points in a profitable Saturday’s work at Madison. Wisconsin State University-Richland Campus took top honors with 88.

Trailing the Trojans were Madison Area Tech. (54 pts.) and U.W. Waukesha (36 pts.). Undefeated Greg Heiman aat 158 lbs. and heavyweight Paul Fetzer won indi­ vidual titles. Scharrer lost 2-1 in overtime and took second. Other second-place fin­ ishers for NWC were Schwartz, Street, and Paul Johnston, who was substituting for injured Scott Dumann.

INTRAMURALS Intramural basketball is again in full swing. The interest seems to grow a little each year. This year there are twenty-one teams under the supervision of Rich Kogler. The team to watch is the Milwaukee Bocks. They were founded by Frosh David “Chooch” Bock and have a lineup which WATCH FOR AT 7

boasts the presence of all-toe G. P. Swan­ son. The Bocks won their first game. They have complete uniforms, and have enter­ tained the campus with the press releas­ es put out by their publicity department.

These releases are written by (a) deranged sportswriter(s) who seems to have pattern­ ed his free-flowing drivel after Howard Co­ sell, Milton Richman, Eddie Doucette, Paul Harvey, and David Haines. Other intra­ mural teams are already beginning to cry, “Break up the Bocks.”

in so many sports. My reaction to winners was understandable. Any victory in any sport (except wrestling) was an upset for the Preps. We suffered under the loser's syndrome. My brother’s manner of talk­ ing led me to believe that Coach Thompson was responsible for a large portion of Sem’s success.

Last year Coach Thompson came to coach at Wisconsin Lutheran College (R. I.P.). I saw the first game which his team played. They were trounced by a bunch of wild-gunning Columbian priests. I realized that the material which Coach Thompson had to work with was subpar, but I began to doubt his talents after that fiasco. That was all to change, however. I saw the same team play near the end of the year. It was a revelation. They now played defense, re­ bounded, shot, and were winning games, my faith in Coach Thompson was restored.

I was very optimistic and happy when I heard that he would become our new bas­ ketball coach.

Coach Thompson will now try to effect a similar transformation in our basketball program. The new gym will help in this effort, but Coach Thompson is not waiting until it is built. He has started a limited JV program to develop young talent. He also has begun to install b stem in the minds and attitudes of our rung Trojans.

Coach Thompson is a s< v in paradox­ es. He believes in strict oh ~nce, and yet is not dictatorial. He take aektalk from no one, but often lets his • make deci­ sions in matters of adiap; The team decides when to practice ertain days.

The Seniors are to tell f. teammates when sideburns and hair b. .mie too shag­ gy. No strict training rule- re arbitrarily set down, but the Coach reminds players that a dedicated player thinks basketball at all times. The Coach is displeased with anything less than perfection, but rarely lets his voice rise above an earnest “Come on you guys, let’s go!”

Attending one of Coach Thompson’s practices is a revelation. The Coach is con­ stantly talking, informing, explaining, ex­ horting, and just plain coaching. Obvi­ ously, the players cannot absorb all that is rifled at them, but there is so much worthwhile information offered, that they will profit if they take in only a small per­ centage of it. The Coach devotes a good portion of each practice session to the plays 172

designed to get at least one man open for a good percentage shot. He has been work­ ing long and hard to install a workable fast break, and a zone press which gets visibly tighter and more effective every day. At times the squad breaks into groups, but there is still unity and organization. Every­ one is doing something somewhere. Coach considers practice to be a very important and serious matter, and therefore allows none of NWC’s rabid fans the liberty of talking to one of his players during a prac­ tice session, to take his mind off basket­ ball.

The Coach is a very good strategist. He shows his players where good shots may develop and constantly urges them to take such shots whenever possible. The Coach often says, “If you’re afraid to shoot the thing, why are you playing?” Coach Thompson is not afraid to use the zone de­ fense against college competition. He was quite successful with it against Dominican.

One thing which I have noticed is the effec­ tive way in which Coach Thompson hand­ les his bench. Another one of his good tact­ ics, I feel, is the Schultz-Toepel tandem, which has shaken up several teams al­ ready this season.

One of the most powerful weapons in Coach’s arsenal is hi i nderful sense of humor. There are 1 good lines in every practice which ik up the drud­ gery a little and div Coach closer to his players.

The Coach is not ' aid to tell a referee when he thinks that official is mistak­ en. He stands up for :en and wants to know why a call wen gainst them. But he will not tolerate re e baiting by his players, not even by h.:. stars.

Coach Thompson has two talented sons playing on his teams. This normally might cause trouble for a coach, but he seems to handle the situation quite well. His other players detect no favoritism. Rather, Glen and Don may have it a little rougher than they would if they were not related to the Coach.

As far as I can tell, the Coach hates one thing most of all: a player who doesn’t take the game seriously. Let’s hope he finds none of this type at our school.

I’m looking forward to later on this sea­ son when some of Coach Thompson’s prin­ ciples of basketball have become imprinted on the young Trojan team. How about you?

TAT hen was the last time that you con■ V demned civil rights because of the Black Panthers, or the peace movement be­ cause of a few radicals who bombed a U. W. building? You probably denounced the radicals, but admitted that civil rights and the peace movement do have valid points.

Well then, what about Women’s Lib? True, the W.I.T.C.H.S. may be out of place except at Halloween, and the O.W.L.S. may be out of their trees, but that doesn’t mean the whole movement is wrong. There are some points which could very well be val­ id, and should be looked at with an open mind.

First of all, most women who follow or are interested in Women’s Lib are not radi­ cals who consider marriage an out-moded institution and men as another variety of pigs. Let’s face the facts. There ARE wo­ men in the Wisconsin Synod who are in­ terested in Women’s Lib, and who of us is going to say they are anti-Christian because of the views of a few radical leaders? Wo­ men’s Lib need not be any more anti-Scriptural than civil rights.

There are women today who have been forced to become the breadwinners of their families. Perhaps it was caused by the death of the husband in Vietnam, or as the result of a traffic accident. Or maybe the husband is in the hospital for an extended period. Here we have a woman with per­ haps one or more children, and she has to pay the bills. If she gets Social Security, it may not be enough. So she gets a job.

And at payday her check turns out to be maybe twenty or thirty dollars less than that of the man at the next desk. And be­ sides that, half of the money in her check goes to paying for the babysitter who watches the children while Mom is at work.

What can be done to alleviate this very real problem? First of all, there ought to 174

i ’

(

be equal pay for equal work. Just because God made man to be the head of the house, it doesn’t justify unequal wages. And just because women are to be subservient to men, we don’t conclude that women must also live at a lower standard of living, such as a poorer quality of food, poorer living conditions, and the like. But we are re­ signing them to such a standard by restrict­ ing that income which controls the stand­ ards.

Another point which has to be consid­ ered is the question of day care centers.

This is a very controversial subject. The big problem here is the children. Ideally, they should be raised at ■ nme by a loving mother. But that isn’t povible under work­ ing conditions.

For our purposes wt. divide the child­ ren into two groups: alien of loving mothers, and children u : ae mothers don’t love them. Our first co . ’deration is the children who are loved. Their mothers would undoubtedly give .eir right hand to be able to stay home and raise the children, but they also have to eat. so she works. If she’s fortunate, she’ll find a good babysit­ ter. But maybe that good babysitter turns out to be not so good. A loving mother might consider a day care center to be the best atmosphere for her child to be in while she is at work. If not, she could still hire a sitter. She wouldn’t be compelled to send her children to the center.

And what about the children who aren’t loved? Here day care centers may be even more important. Clearly, the atmosphere at home isn’t a good one for raising child­ ren properly. The mother isn’t as fussy about who is looking after the children dur­ ing the day. Why not send them to a cen­ ter where they’ll get professional attention and a better chance to become well adjust­ ed adults? The main argument against cen-

ters is that they will be abused by women who have baby after baby, and who would use the centers as a way to get around their responsibilities. But look around and you’ll see that almost anything on earth can be abused. And if a woman were to do such a thing, it would be a sign that she may not love the children anyway, so they would be better off in a day care center. There’s another alternative to babysitters and day care centers: the mother could quit work and go on welfare.

By these examples of pay and day care centers, we can see that there are aspects of Women’s Lib which are not anti-Christ­ ian, but instead can be goals of concerned Christians. This does not mean that we hold a rally for Women’s Lib in the near future. That’s not our calling. Instead, re­ evaluate your opinions of the movement.

For like civil rights, not much is accom­ plished until the general attitude is recep­ tive and openminded.

Pontiac-Cadillac-Buick, Inc. Most of us have been to a funeral home or church and have seen a body lying in 320 Summit Ave. - City Hwy. 16 East state. Especially in a funeral home you WATERTOWN, WISCONSIN may have heard such comments as, "My, Open Monday - Wednesday & but he looks life-like; why, that’s the best Friday to 9 p m. he’s looked in ten years,” or, “Isn’t it a wonder what morticians can do these Opel - GMC Trucks days?” Maybe you just passed off these comments as idle chatter, but did you ever stop to consider why he looks so life-like and well preserved? The American cus­ tom of embalming has gone through many stages to emerge as we know it today.

The custom of preserving the dead goes ! back several millenia into classical anti­ quity. At that time it was the practice to let the nobility and persons of status lie in sate for about a week. On the other end of the social ladder, the need for a preserva, tive was also felt. Because the poor urban classes did not often have enough money Compliments of to pay for a funeral, the corpse was kept unburied and bereft of funeral ceremony Renner Corporation until the necessary money could be raised.

It was this which gave impulse to the idea Builders of our five new of giving the dead a “decent Christian bur­ Northwestern homes ial.”

While the funeral was thus : yed, some pre­ Drive-In & Free Parking Lot servative had to be effaced to retard the putrefaction of the corpse since without a MEMBER OF corpse the funeral lost most of its signifi­ cance. Some of the crude methods employ­ F D I C & Federal Reserve System ed by the colonists were disemboweling, filling its cavity with charcoal, and immers­ ing the body in alcohol. Benjamin Frank­ lin even toyed with the idea of embalmit uutk 'V-OuaeAA-" J ing in wine, and it is recorded that Lord Nelson was returned to England from Tra­ falgar in a barrel of rum.

In the middle of the nineteenth cen­ LOEFFLER tylosicd tury a patent was issued for a “Refriger­ ator for Corpses.” This corpse cooler con­ sisted of a common cooling board on which 202 W. Main Street - Phone 261-2073 the body was laid out, and a concave metal, ice-filled box which fit the torso. The en177

tire thing was equipped with lid, spigot, and handles. The undertakers used these coolers in much the same way a modern housewife uses a refrigerator for salads.

Shortly before the funeral the body would be lifted, fully-dressed, from the cooler and placed into the coffin.

As time went on, the undertakers felt that the cooling board left much to be de­ sired. There was a growing disposition at this time to keep the body on display for a longer time. This dissatisfaction with the existing method spurred research during the second half of the last century.

The practice of embalming was intro­ duced into the United States only as an in­ cidental side light. Medical men since the time of the earliest colonists had been con­ cerned with the tragic plagues and epidem­ ics which broke out all too often. Since this fear had recently been renewed by fur­ ther epidemics, Dr. Richard Harlan made a trip to Europe to study methods of plague control. As he became acquainted with some of the leading figures in medical and sanitary science, he learned about the de­ velopment of fluids for the preservation of the body. He became interested in this sub­ ject and upon return to i United States, awakened quite an inter. i this method of preservation of the hire; 1 body.

The first patent for a ibalming pro­ cess went to J. Anthonissardia. The process involved inject' : of an arsenicalchohol mixture, electr. charging the body, successive washii- ., with various chemical compounds, anointing with oils, and placing the body in a coffin filled with “an alcoholic mixture of arsenic.”

Interest spread rapidly, and in the four­ teen years before 1869 a total of eleven patents were issued for embalming fluids and related practices. Advertising was an important aspect of business already at that time. One advertisement for a particular embalming process read as follows: Bodies embalmed by us never turn black, but retain their natural color and appear­ ance; indeed, the method having the power of preserving bodies, with all their parts, both internal and external, without any mutilation or extraction, and so as to admit of contemplation of the person embalmed, with the countenance of a one asleep . . • The Civil War was perhaps the single event which created the most interest in embalming.

desire to preserve the remains of military officials and other Civil War figures in their natural state, but also those who were ex­ perimenting with the process set up their headquarters near the battlefields, where business was always good.

During the past century the American embalming process has made tremendous strides. At first there was opposition be­ cause of the cost and “mutilating" process.

However, this opposition faded, and the em­ balming process soon developed into a commercial enterprise with the subsequent rise of embalming schools.

The next time you go to a funeral home and view a corpse, don’t think of it as a dead subject, but rather view it as some­ thing with a live history.

F ACE ON EARTH 7\

Christmas season has come and gone. Decorations, presents, re­ unions with family and friends. Advent services, Christmas concerts — all these are now just memories which will fade with time. However, as we face the unknown trials and problems which the new year may bring, let us retain the true gift of Christmas which our Saviour offers to us — His peace. nother

This peace is intimately bound up with the birth of Christ. Isaiah heralds the com­ ing Christ as “the Prince of Peace” (Is. 9: 181

6), and on the eve of Christ’s birth, the shepherds heard for themselves the won­ derful message of the angelic choir: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14). The Messiah, the promised One, has come into the world, through whom lost and condem­ ned sinners, such as we, might be recon­ ciled with God. This is the “peace of God which passeth all understanding” (Phil. 4: 7) to which St. Paul refers; namely, that we can confidently and in complete trust and reliance approach our heavenly Father in prayer and bring all things to him

.

through our Mediator, Jesus Christ. “For he (Christ) is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; having abol­ ished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of the commandments contained in ordin­ ances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace” (Eph. 2:1415).

Unfortunately, this beautiful word is frequently torn from its context and mis­ applied to our earthly realm. For those whose chief interest lies in the material and physical aspects of this world, the greatest peace which they can envision is the cessation of wars and of hostilities be­ tween nations. Hence, each Christmas sea­ son we hear the Biblical phrase “peace on earth” erroneously applied in this respect.

But we, as Christians, must be guided by the words of our Saviour Himself: "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled; for all these things must come to pass” (Matthew 24: 6). This does not mean that we should not pray for peace and understanding among our fellow men, but that we should not be­ come dismayed or disillusioned when ef-

forts for peace fail and wars break out.

In our "up-tight,” hyper-tense world, where pollution, racial prejudice, wars, and the possibility of nuclear annihilation daily raise their monstrous heads against us, our Saviour tells us, "see that ye be not troub­ led!” Because of that first Christmas mom, we need not tremble before earthly calam­ ities nor fear death. Christ has prevailed over death, the devil, and the world. Hence, the Christian does not turn to drugs or al­ cohol as an escape from life’s problems, but rather to Christ. In Him we have all things, if only we place all of our trust in Him. Anxiety arises when we begin to rely upon earthly wealth or our own ability to work things out for ourselves. One cannot serve God and mammon.

Therefore, when we are downcast or troubled by personal problems or by the chaotic condition of the world, let us crit­ ically examine ourselves in order to deter­ mine where we have placed our confidence.

For the “peace of God” comes only to those who in faith place all their trust in Him alone the focal point of their lives.

Efficiency Award If things go according to schedule, you vote for your dorm council representatives in the Spring and forget about them until the next election rolls around. The council in the meantime is doing its work behind the scenes to keep campus life flowing smoothly. Unfortunately, the average stu­ dent is often unaware • what is going on.

The most noteworthy thing about the new council is without doubt the reorgan­ izing which is going on within its own ranks. This year they are trying out the idea of using committees to carry out much of their work, the idea being that commit­ tees are more orderly and more efficient.

Definite committees were established in the following areas: dorm service, recreation and social, dining, service, and informa­ tion.

The Recreation and Social Committee has the rather broad responsibility for all social activities on campus and for spon­ soring off-campus activities. This commit­ tee is organizing the student-faculty discuions for this year. At present they are planning activities in the areas of swim­ ming, skating, and busing to theatrical pro­ ductions. Of special interest is the sche­ duled trip to a Buck’s game.

The Dining Hall Committee provides a means of communication between the kit­ chen staff and the student body. Sugges­ tions and problems are to be turned in to the committee. They work closely with all those concerned to provide the best possi­ ble conditions in the din.e-? hall.

Other worthy church and community services are con­ sidered, provided that they do not require anything too time consuming which might interfere with school life.

The Information Committee posts the dorm council news for the students. They also collect information from other com­ mittees before the dorm council meetings.

The dorm council hopes that these committees will enable them to do a better job of conducting their affairs. Their ideas have been in effect now for almost one semester, and from all outward signs they are well on their way to a successful year.

Things may be changing, but with these changes your dorm council is working to make campus life better.

The most distingushing aspect of NorthJ- western College throughout its history, especially in recent years, has probably been its curriculum. Without fail, when­ ever a Northwestern student rattles off the list of courses he’s taking, he draws inquir­ ies from outsiders as to how anyone could pass through here without being a John Milton or Henry Breasted. Although our classical load is sometimes thought ill of by students, especially before tests, most of us would agree that it has its advantages in influencing people by rendering us cap­ able of deciffering obscure Latin or Greek inscriptions on the facade of our hometown city hall, or being interpreters for German officers in various episodes of the Combat reruns. The simple fact that there has been work done by the faculty Curriculum Re­ view Committee for the past months does not imply that there has been any gross dissatisfaction on the part of the student body.

The main reasons for the review was that, after some consideration, it was pro­ posed that the present curriculum could be better arranged to be more consistent in the load requirements for each of the four years, to adjust specific courses as to grad­ uation credit requirements, and to open the door to any new courses which might merit being offered. In referring to the dis­ crepancy in the “relative work load,” it is the consensus that the Sophomore year has the lightest schedule.

As for specific course alterations, the only course that escaped the consideration without suggested change was the Fresh-

man Latin course. To anyone who has gone the route through Hebrew and Greek, the frosh Latin course is valuable, not only be­ cause of the content of the course itself, but also in showing the Freshmen how much they should have picked up along the way, and what mistakes not to make in the learning of Greek and Hebrew.

The religion and history courses are to be shifted around so that the Freshmen would have the Old Testament survey and its correlated ancient history course, which is now offered in the Sophomore year. The Sophs then would take the New Testament survey which now is covered in the Frosh year, and would also pick up the Rom­ an History course which is now a Junior course. This switch would create a favor­ able chronological sequence and correlate the history and religion courses better. The Juniors would then take up the Symbolics course in their first semester and retain the Gospel of John Greek course for the second semester. The Acts course is then to be taken in the first seir.< > of the Senior year, with I. Corinthian ' ing out the pro­ gram in the second seer.

As for Greek, the c? ;es basically are aimed at the Junior a : Senior years. A full year required Junk :eek course was suggested to take the p-: of the two elec­ tives, which are now to taken in either This course the Junior or Senior y; would consist of an rview” study of the Greek language fror its development in Homer through the Koine period.

The only changes in Hebrew would be that the Junior course would be given in 4 hours for both semesters, while the Sen­ ior course would be cut down to 2 hours in the Senior year. The increase in the Junior year was designed so that the elementary text could be completed without running over into the Senior year.

The Freshman math course, now 4 hours, would be cut down to 3 hours for both semesters.

The Freshman English course is to be reduced from 3 to 2 hours each semester, while a one-semester required speech course was suggested for the Junior year.

The committee considered that the nature of our ministerial program would warrant such a course, especially because it has had the backing of the faculty at our seminary.

The committee also suggested a juggl­ ing of the music courses. The recommen­ dation was that Music 380 and 381 (now both semesters of the Junior year), should be moved into the Sophomore year, which evidently carries the lightest course load as the curriculum now stands. What is now the Senior course, Music 480, would be shifted down into the Junior year for a 2 hour, 1 semester course.

As for the German courses, the Frosh and Soph courses would remain the same except that some of the basic writings of Luther which are now treated in the Hauptschriften elective are to be inserted into the second semester of the Soph year. The re­ quirements of one German elective in each the Junior and Senior years are dropped.

The elective requirements, according to the proposals, are to be reduced from the current 12, to 10. The idea is to lower the number of credit hours for Juniors and Seniors, so that more outside reading and research can be accom, shed. This has been a complaint level u igainst the rather “jammed-up” schedule . Juniors and Sen­ iors now. In state sities, 21 hours for a Senior is unhe.

Consequently, the overall credit roe ment for gradu­ ation has been low ram the present 157, to 151.

All the suggestion -nought up by the committee are, of coi . tentative, since they are basically the n suit of garnering opinion from all sides. The formal state­ ment of November 19, 1970, issued to the members of the Junior and Senior classes, and the ensuing student-faculty discussion brought out the fact that this study is be­ ing carried on in a very open-ended man­ ner. The committee cordially invites ad­ vice, comment, or opinion which would help them formulate a most acceptable and workable curriculum.

As to the implementation of the propo­ sals, the future is quite tentative. A prac­ ticable method of working it into and re­ placing the present system would have to be devised before any dates can be discus­ sed. There are many complications to be solved and many ideas yet to be brought out, but curriculum changes are on their way.

You'll buy life insurance eventually. Why not now when you'll save a bundle?

Education isn’t all academic matters. It’s smart to give some thought now to matters outside the ivied walls . . . such as life insurance. Why now? Because you can never buy at a lower rate than today . . . and that rate remains the same for the length of the contract. Also, your present good health will allow you to establish certain options that guarantee your ability to buy additional insurance in the future even if poor health should come your way. And life insur-

ance is actually a savings account that builds steadily in cash value through the years . . . money which you may need to pay off college debts, to put your new bride in a home of your own, or to set yourself up in business. A good friend to help you with your life insurance plans is the Aid Association for Lutherans representative. A fellow Lutheran, he puts it all together for you in a meaningful way. It’s all a part of our common concern for human worth.

THE BEETLE The beetle crawled over the debris of concrete, brick, metal and glass that form­ ed his new environment. His system de­ tected a few variations from that to which he had once been accustomed, but the crea­ ture’s memory was as short as its mind was dull, and he had forgotten completely that previous existence of half a lifetime ago. Now his senses told him that he ap­ proached one of those peculiar chunks of food, hard and crusty on the outside, yet tender and succulent on the interior, to which access was gained by occasional gaps in the glaze covering the whole, and in that peculiar stage of succulent decay wherein the meat reached the combination of flavor, consistency and digestibility most pleasing to the insects taste and system.

Though these had come on the scene only

recently they were already a favorite food of the crawling things, perhaps as much for their commonness as anything else, and this particular chunk was already being at­ tacked by numberless beings, some eating the soft portions directly beneath the crust, some burrowing deep into the flesh, and a few attacking the leathery outer covering.

The surface which the beetle approached was less toughened than some others and he elected to begin feeding immediately, not bothering to search for a chink in the tempered armor surrounding the delicacy.

Not knowing what he consumed — except an estimable foodstuff — nor what wars this rotting meat had waged against his race, the beetle knew not either that he was of the highest race dwelling in the city.

passage merely mentions the fact that there was a tomb in the area, in which Christ was laid.

The mockery is not as blatant as I had expected. Considering how other English pop personalities, or American for that mat­ ter, have literary stomped the Bible into the gutter, it was rather surprising to see how much was left intact. Compared to John Boni’s article in National Lampoon, which described Christ in such activities as practicing walking on water and becom­ ing inebriated at the wedding at Cana, Jes­ us Christ Superstar is mild sacrilege. The entertainment industry, to say the least, has not been a bastion of religious dogma, and the album Superstar has been one of its less brazen bombshells, depending es­ pecially on one’s tastes in music. To the more elderly Christian, one brought up on Wayne King or Guy Lombardo and His Roy­ al Canadians, the album achieves unpar­ alleled offensiveness. To the teenager in religious circles, the album’s only failing would be in corrupted doctrine. That the modern music has been associated with many things contrary to the Bible’s teach­ ings is enough to assume that this heavy music drags the Pas - ii,o story down in most minds. The use o' ! . a vy music was no coincidence either. quite evident in its form and content tb. *vas not in the pro­ ducers highest ini,o add to the glory of the Passion of C The album wa- p.-oduced by two En­ glish rock produce cctor-arranger-per­ former types, Tim k • and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Rice wrote .kr lyric, while Web­ ber composed the music. It probably oc­ curred to them that in order to make big money in records, you have to have a big name, or something controversial. How much more controversial would putting out a rock album using the biggest name in the history of the western world be? Quite, as it turns out. There have been underground albums packed with gross vulgarities which have raised eyebrows higher, but have, of course, never been easily available to the public, if at all. It jumped onto the charts and is destined to make big cash.

By last fall it was already rolling off the presses at Decca, and by Christmas various choruses of the thing were heard on the radio. Timing was important, not that it be released “appropriately” at Christ-

mas, but that it be the first of its kind on the market. With this sort of material, af­ ter the novelty of the first of its kind has worn off, the market is fairly well sapped.

The musical scope of the album is gar­ gantuan. The only probable releases that would be comparable in scope would be on the order of Handel’s Messiah, Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Qaeene recited in its entirety, or a double take of Tommy. Al­ though it is not tremendously long (87 minutes, there is no end to the amount of choral and instrumental work packed into each minute. Good earphones will bear this out. Up to this time, the Beatles’ Sar­ gent Peppers album was considered the ul­ timate in amount of studio time, with a studio budget of over $100,000 alone. Ev­ en though the Superstar album did not use as expensive personnel, it used more ma­ terial minute for minute and, of course, is twice as long. The list of performers, arrangers, and assistants on the opening pages of the libretto looks more like the Chicago phone book. There are 10 major vocal solo parts (Jesus, Disciples, Mary Magdalene, etc.). There are also 15 minor vocal parts, plus a studio choir, a children’s choir, and a group called the “Trinidad Singers,” who join in the Superstar chorus.

The primary group of musicians consists of six people on guitars, percussion, organ and bass. These are backed up by 32 peop­ le on brass, winds, piano, added percus­ sion, and guitar work. To this is added a studio orchestra, the strings of the City of London Ensemble, and the Moog synthesi­ zer. Evidently every single track of the 32 track tape system was used in the record­ ing. The personnel used in the album are fairly well known on the English rock scene, but most of them are unknown in this country.

As I said before, unless you enjoy heavy music, the album is totally obnoxious. As far as the music alone is concerned, if you dig a lot of the recent “Top 40” material, the Superstar arrangements are good, gen­ erally. But ever since the White Cover by the Beatles, I’ve been leary of double record albums. They tend to spread out what little inspiration the composer achieved and end up filling in with varying amounts of mus­ ical drivel. Many of the melodies are act­ ually catchy. Mary Magdalene’s “Every­ thing’s Alright,” and the “Superstar Chor­ us” are the type of things that you catch

Like most of the heavier music that’s come out in the past year or so, Superstar has to be listened to at least three or four times before you can really appreciate all that has gone into it. If you’re not totally keyed out of your mind about such entertainment, it could be the most worthless six hours of your life. Personally speaking.

I’ve heard worse music than Superstar, but I wouldn’t go shelling out $10.98 for a whole double album when I only crave about nine minutes of the material. With so much fully interesting material hitting the market in the idiom of Superstar's music, borrowing the album is your best bet and saving your money for the albums you listen to more than once. The music is not mediocre, but not super-outasight enough to invest in the album.

yourself humming and/or whistling. There are other selections, like “Herod’s Song” and “Hosanna,” that combine good melody with very clever rhyme scheme. Webber arranged the overture, using the Moog synthesizer and distortion boost for a somber yet majestic opening. The orchestration is blended with the guitars quite compatibly, Usually this is the main failing of productions using both orchestration and heavy bass lines. Often arrangers go orchestration-crazy and overpower everything with strings and brass. James William Guercio, producer for Chicago, BS&T, and the Buckinghams, perfected the balancing act several years ago, and since then music with orchestration and heavy rock core has followed his style, including Webber’s on Superstar. “What’s the Buzz, Tell Me What’s Happening,” reflects the highly original content in almost a soul atmosphere.

Right, Wrong, or What?

by Peter Steinke Concordia, 86pp., $1.25 ""Phis book is a presentation of dialogues tape recorded between Missouri Synod youths between the ages of 15 to 20 from all over the U.S. They discuss among themselves, without an adult present, such questions as: “What is the purpose of sex in your life?” “Should love and sex be com­ bined?” “What is the basis for sexual in­ tercourse?” The answers presented by these youths are very enlightening in that they indicate the various thoughts and ideas young Christians today have on sex. These youths talk very bluntly and openly about the various aspects of dating and courtship and the role sex plays in them. They also 196

discuss their ideas on the standards set by their parents, the church, and society. Of­ ten their views are not too complimentary.

However this book leaves much to be desired. After reading the book, as the title indicates — Right, Wrong, or What?, you are left with a ‘what?’. This book does not answer the questions it poses about sex. It is an example of non-directional psychol­ ogy. The author just takes the various dia-

r

logues, edits them and puts them into the book. He does not give any advice or answers to the questions. Occasionally he quotes a passage from some secular author about love or sex at the end of a dialogue to add dimension. He never uses Scripture to set any standards or guide lines to follow. As a book supposedly written for teen-

age Christians, I feel it should give them some guide lines to follow. In this age when all barriers are tom down and laws and standards are discarded, youth is seeking a standard by which to guide their lives, This book can still leave you asking, “Right, Wrong or What?”

And O ng in order, we cast off the mooring stone nd having prodded the well-used gas pedal we pointed the fender, curved at both ends, in the direction of late-died violet-toed evening, and 4-plyed the grey concrete, grieving in our hearts over the recent lawless destruction.

Despite the earth-shaker Poseidon, we enjoyed fair weather for a time, till our hollow stomachs bid us disembark. And sending forth our owl-eyed spy, we came upon a small abode, nestled in a cove, shel­ tered from the bounding Main. When we had sacrificed and received favorable omen, we entered the hut, and coming up­ on a fair goddess, in orderly fashion we plundered a dozen donuts. Grabbing the goodies, we got out of there. Having re­ ceived a favorable breeze, our minds were soon again enraptured with thoughts of further adventure.2 The all-protecting god­ dess Athena whispered into our ears which route would suffice us best, and we laid to the gas and soon, having turned our prow 197

toward Highway 60, we encountered the mighty stream, Wisconsin. Awed were we at first sight, by its swirling depths, (now frozen over.3) More fierce than Charybdis of old which struck fear in the hearts of earlier perverted Greeks.

For several well-wasted hours we sailed down the salty sideroads, with the murky deep on the port and the towering bluffs on the starboard side. Thus driving we came to the land of the Lastrygonians or the land of the Wandering Rocks.., Signs along the way bore the well-heeded warning: Be­ ware of the Wandering Rocks lest they wander upon your craft. Heeding the wellheeded warning and with the aid of scantily-cladn Athena, we arrived farther toward the setting of the sun. Having thus escaped destruction we came upon a grassy park.G Disembarking from our enchanted craft, we sloshed into the snow-filled park. A hill was the center of the park, rising steeply like Olympus, known of old. Here, long ago, certain Titans had drilled a hole deep into the earth (by twisting a sharpened, fire-hardened olive pole round and round from above.) At the bottom was a well, hidden deep within a cave. Long ago the giants of the earth, engaging in a civil war

had dropped their molten pellets in the hole, and, fashioned into perfect spheres, they hit the well below and hardened into bullets, for use in their ancient weapons.

Through two feet of well-fallen snow we clamored up the well-built hill. After our well-toiled climb we reached the lofty sum­ mit of the wooded mountain.

Lawrenz Speaks at Northwestern

Watertown

John Lawrenz, a 1965 graduate of Northwestern, returned to the college, Monday, Feb. 1, to speak on the topic, “Archaeology as a Tool for Bible Study.”

The public was invited to the illustrated lecture which was held in the gym.

The speaker is also a 1970 graduate of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary planning to enter the ministry of the Wisconsin Evan­ gelical Lutheran Synod upon completion of his doctoral studies at Brandeis Univer­ sity, Waltham, Massachusetts. In 1969 the speaker received his Masters degree in Med­ iterranean Studies, specializing in Akkad-

ian and Syro-Palestinian Archaeology. Dur­ ing the summer of 1970 he was a Zion Re­ search Foundation fellow in Israel, parti­ cipating in the Tel Aviv University Institute of Archaeology excavations at Tel Beer Sheba. The lecture was illustrated with slides from the work at Beer Sheba. Lawrenz is also the author of a three-part series of articles currently appearing in the Luth­ eran Sentinel on the subject of Biblical archaeology. The speaker arrived here fresh from having delivered his topic at Dr. Mar­ tin Luther College, New Ulm, and Beth­ any College, Mankato, both of Minnesota.

The talk was part of the continuing Northwestern College Lecture Series.

Who needs thy brother Mercury?

I’LL bear thy serpent staff for thee!

Terry Yahr 72 MY BROTHER’S KEEPER Sorrow reaches down its ugly hand Into the deepest depths of a man.

It fills his heart with heavy despair And leaves his mind overwhelmed with care.

It pours as a mighty rushing flood.

That carries twisting and churning mud.

And when there appears no end of it, And when to live this life seems not fit, And when God does not come down to him And on his shoulder by some strange whim, In answer to a long-felt prayer.

Or can he find in the Scriptures deep Something worth-while for his soul to reap.

Something there that he can always keep, Something to make his heart and soul leap?

Can this be done before it’s too late?

Or shall his soul be filled with hate, Because no one helped him to see God’s answer to this great mystery?

hibited through the students' college years at Northwestern prior to enrollment at Wis­ consin Lutheran Seminary') it was neces­ sary to look at the entire span of student life prior to receiving a call into the min­ istry. For this reason Prof. Carleton Toppe, president of Northzuestem College in Wat­ ertown, and Prof. Carl Lawrenz, president of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, were invited to attend the discussion to present the regulation and its background.

Although this meeting was well attended, we are presenting an edited reproduction taken from a two-hour tape recording for the benefit of those of our readers who were unable to attend. It is our hope that in ed­ iting the discussion the truth has not been slanted in either direction. It is impossible to print all the questions here because of obvious repetition. Interested individuals are invited to contact Pieter Reid, who made the recording for us.

PROF. TOPPE The topic for tonight will be covered in its entire sequence particularly with regard to the regulation as it applies at the Sem­ inary, and that would cover and include our own.

The regulation wh\ is covered very well in the catalog of i.V Wisconsin Luth­ eran Seminary was established in 1955 by the convention of the : cd held at Sagin­ aw. You have a reg<;: j i on pertaining to the Seminary and a r . cation pertaining to the colleges (North' rn College, Wat­ ertown, and Dr. Mar . a Luther College, New Ulm, Minnesota). 7.he one that per­ tains to the Seminary reads as follows: We endorse the policy set forth in the regu­ lations adopted by the faculty and the Sem­ inary board as of April 15, 1952 as follows: That the Seminary indeed continue to discourage student marriages as much as possible without, however, making celebacy a condition for study in our schools. a.) The Seminary will assume no respon­ sibility for housing and maintainance of the student and his family. b.) The Seminary will not accept the fam­ ily obligations of the student as an excuse for irregularity in his study. c.) The Seminary will demand a written statement from the parents of both the stu­ dent and his bride, that they fully approve the marriage.

202

d. ) The Seminary must be given the assur­ ance that the student, in case unforeseen expenses should occur, is in a position to meet them, and e.) Finally, a consultation of the student with the Dean is required.

You will note that this does not specify when a marriage may take place at the Seminary. Pertaining to Northwestern Col­ lege: Since the principle function of Northwest­ ern College is to provide the pre-theologi­ cal training for students who are preparing for the ministry; Since marriage during college years would greatly prolong the marriage status of such students; Since it is inevitable that this would serious­ ly increase the difficulties under which the student was apt to continue his studies, therefore we recommend: a.) That the Synod declare itself opposed to the marriage of students preparing for the ministry while in attendance at North­ western College and prior to their entry at the theological seminary,

b.) That any exceptional cases which may arise shall he left to the judgement and final disposition of the faculty and board, and as far as Dr. Martin Luther College is concerned we endorse the policy set forth in the 1955-56 catalog.

As you know, the Seminary regulation does specify that student marriages are not to take place before the end of the first year unless there are exceptional or exten­ uating circumstances that are referred to also in the resolution of the Synod.

Prof. Toppe deferred to Prof. Lawrenz, who annually deals with the situation of students coming for pre-marriage coun­ seling.

PROF. LAWRENZ Notice that the last stipulation states that the student have a consultation with the Dean of the Seminary and that they are not to be married prior to the consulta­ tion. The only way that this can be prac­ tically carried out is if the consultation be during the first year at the Seminary.

We have interpreted the stipulation in this way, and our students have gone along

with it. If I am to consult with students, I first of all have to establish a bond and confidence.

A student must first get his feet wet at the Seminary to really know what it is like and to see how his marriage will fit in with it. During the first year while in the dor­ mitory the new student is able to consult with older students. I have always felt that new students find out more from older stu­ dents in the dormitory than they do from the Dean. I have always found that, if after a first-year consultation, I reluctantly consented, the student usually found out that by graduation he readily admitted that it would have been better if he had waited another year. It is the experience of our students that has confirmed us in the con­ viction that these regulations are sound. I have always leaned heavily on the counsel of other students to caution not to proceed hastily. Those students who can financial­ ly afford to be married while at school are the minority. There are some students who have parents that are willing to financially underscore the marriage, but most students are unwilling to accept support from home.

It doesn’t put you into a good light with your wife either, if you can’t support her.

The whole matter of student marriages was brought up in 195? not by student protests; they weren’t p tr then. Prof.

John Meyer, then still pc nt of the Sem­ inary, asked the Semin faculty if the former rule (no man afore comple­ tion of Seminary studii hich had been in effect for 89 years, still relevant.

He pointed out that stu •" s were attend­ ing school several years ger than they had years ago. Because 0 Synod is inter­ ested in its students and because it also realized that conditions had changed, a synodical committee was assigned to look into the matter. The biennial convention was not ready to act on the findings of the committee in 1953, so it was tabled until 1955, when it was decided upon.

In 1963 a review was requested again.

They were willing to discuss the matter, not accepting the regulation on blind faith.

Holding to outmoded practices can finally give way to artificial reasons, and they didn’t want this to happen. The committee went to a great effort to be objective.

Purpose of this study: 1.) To reevaluate, become clear, firm, and 204

if possible unanimous on the regulation which is adopted, 2.) To eliminate uncertainty, doubt, and the need to search for adequate reasons for a decision each time the general question or the handling of specific cases comes up.

Argument: 1.) Economic conditions have changed con­ siderably since the present regulations were adopted. More money is available, higher wages, more jobs for students summer and part-time, more employment for wives, help from parents and in-laws are more common­ ly offered and accepted.

2.) The marriage age is considerably lower now. More students arc becoming married while in school and this has become accept­ able (cf. the advanced age of some students, especially remedial students).

3.) Excluding married students or forbid­ ding students to marry will greatly limit the number of candidates for the ministry.

'1.) Finally, it is unrealistic to ask students to delay marriage too long.

When I looked over these statements this afternoon, l realize:l that the members of the committee mw.i >ave searched their hearts to put don ry possible reason that they could ti And now the cou 11 euments: A.) A certain va1. . mst be granted some of the above argo . however, we feel that they are offset by i the following: 1.) It is true tl vuomic conditions have changed, but t: of education is also rising.

2.) Here we are d. ding with eight years of school. Normally when students marry in college they only have two or more years left in school. If someone marries while at Northwestern, he still has four years of Sem­ inary to go.

3.) Ideal economic conditions cannot be taken for granted. Conditions may change suddenly. For example: availability of jobs, pregnancies and so forth.

4.) An open regulation would leave an open door to students who do not enjoy perfect economic conditions.

5.) Encouraging wives to work may foster an erroneous view of the home and the purpose of marriage.

6.) There is a danger that the Seminary will 205

7.) Employment while attending school will no longer be a privilege but a necessity. a.) This is detrimental to the best pre­ paration for the ministry. b.) It will seriously jeopardize the facul­ ty’s right to review the work situation periodically. c.) It will restrict class scheduling at the Seminary. Presently the Seminary is able to have its classes meet in the morning.

If we were to ask for more classrooms, our coordinating committee may force us to schedule afternoon classes. There aren’t many schools anymore that use classrooms for only five hours a day.

8.) The ministry is not a lucrative profes­ sion. It is not advisable to enter a career in the ministry with excessive indebtedness.

The Seminary faculty has detected no difference between application of married and unmarried students.

Where the finances are in order, we do not feel that marriage lowers the academic level.

There is a certain great advantage to dormitory life, especially on the Seminary level. This is why we would like to hold to the regulation that students live in the dormitory for at least one year. At the Seminary, at that level of maturity, where all have the one goal of the ministry, there is a great advantage in the theological dis­ cussions which are carried on. You get to really know your fellow students from Sem­ inary life. I’m afraid if we had a lot of stu­ dents coming to the Seminary already mar­ ried, we’d have a lot of lone wolves devel­ oping out in the ministry — people who go off by themselves and never really become

acquainted with their contemporaries in the ministry. The bonds established at the mature level of Seminary life are usually life-long and help in the smooth function­ ing of the church!

The advanced age of students in most cases amounts to only one or two years.

The Seminary has offset this by lowering the marriage restriction by two years. In valid cases exceptions are made, so that, if one is of an exceptional age, this has been considered a possible reason for an appeal for a waiver of the rule.

We feel that the loss of manpower would be greater among students that were allowed to be married or to marry than among those who were not allowed to be married.

The ministry requires discipline; so does marriage. Students that feel waiting is an unreasonable and unnecessary hard­ ship are not even ready for marriage, to say nothing for the ministry. Certainly in the ministry we are always expected to put the ministry first and even our family sec­ ond. When it comes to accepting a call, the first consideration ah \ys should be the ministry. Where can I • the Lord’s work best? Where has the .d given me the strength most needed through life the pastor must discipline nself to put the ministry first. It does mean that he ne­ glects his wife and fa: .

But where their needs are taken care c .hen the consider­ ations of the ministry must always have priority. A pastor’s wife must also feel this way. That is why a pastor must pick his wife in view of his ministry.

We are suffering from marriage idol­ atry. This involves placing self first. This represents a false standard of values, which reflects itself in the ministry. When we give way there and are not willing to dis­ cipline ourselves, where are we going to get the strength to discipline ourselves in so many other things? For example, when a vacation has to be postponed. We must discipline ourselves to receive a precious gift; who can question that a wife is a precious gift! For God’s Word says: “He that has found a wife has found a good thing.” But so is the ministry a good thing.

Paul says this to Timothy: “He that desires the office of a bishop desires a good thing.”

So if we are going to discipline ourselves for the good thing of the ministry, what

better way is there to discipline ourselves with reference to the other good thing, which, when entered properly can be a wonderful asset to the ministry — a God fearing and helpful spouse? So, let’s not give way to a false standard of values. The ministry, otherwise, is apt to be placed sec­ ond to family, convenience, comfort. Christ and His service must come first. Respec­ tive wives and future husbands need to recognize this from the beginning, even before marriage.

When there is a family where there are children, and the wife works and the

couple is unable to afford a baby sitter, the children do not receive the proper care. If there is sickness and the student must stay home with the children so that the wife may keep her job, the student’s attendance at his classes becomes faulty.

These are the reasons why we would still encourage you, as students aspiring to the high position of the ministry, to fol­ low the advice of experience. The word “regulations” always sounds bad, but you will find that there usually is a lot of thought that lies behind each regulation.

ALUMNI If any of you . iomni or parents have been on campus dining the last month or so, you may have noticed a few more beards or mustaches walking around. Well, you’re not imagining anything; and you’re right, it deserves an explanation. This year, see­ ing that we are the 100th graduating class from N.W.C., our faculty has given us per­ mission to do something a little different.

In order to give you some of the specifics, I have copied a news release that our class gave to the Wcitertoiun Daily Times and which appeared in it a couple of weeks ago.

NWC to Mark 100th Commencement This June 3 will mark the 100th com­ mencement of Northwestern College. To mark this event, plans have been made to give this year’s exercises something of the nature of the first graduation. It is plan­ ned that the graduating Seniors will wear Prince Albert coats (robes were not worn 209

at the school’s earliest graduations), and will generally attempt the dress and groom­ ing of the era.

The Prince Albert coat, named after the prince consort of England and also cal­ led a frock coat, was a long, straight gar­ ment, popular from the mid-19th century until after 1900. It was commonly reserved for formal occasions, although older men often preferred it for general wear. Collars were usually long and pointed, somewhat in the manner of some current shirt styles, leaving a gap between the points to be filled by a black or white tie, an idea of the effect can be had from most portraits of Lincoln.

Generally hair was worn at a moderate length, neither short nor shaggy, and the tonsorial fashion permitted any possibility from clean-shaven to a full beard and sidebums, but again a shaggy or unkempt look was frowned upon. The primary empha-

sis as today, was on a neat, harmonious appearance.

An observance of this type was felt to be especially appropriate at Northwestern, which has strong ties with its past. The school has retained much of the same type of curriculum through its history, and has continued to adhere to the religious con­ victions which were the faith of that first graduating class. The observance is felt to be a reminder both to the campus commun­ ity and to the friends of the college of an event significant both historically and as a sign of the school’s constant goals.

News Release, Class of 1971 I would also like to take this opportun­ ity to thank our faculty again for allowing us to do something like this; the program is our idea and project, but the help and cooperation of the faculty and the under­ standing of you, our parents and alumni, will be what it takes to make this day a success for us. And now for the news.

CAMPUS 8k CLASSPCCM The following is brought to you in liv­ ing fervor direct from the heart of Watertown, Wisconsin’s emergency capital.

Once again (that’s twice this year), our campus lifted its ban on the opposite sex for the duration of the annual mid­ winter classic. Apparently realizing that Cupid’s arrows aren’t limited to ancient Rome, NWC (No Women’s College) wel­ comed fair maidens of all sizes and shapes to the event. Greatly inspired by the week­ end, George Breitkreutz reported that costs were moderate, averaging less than $2 an hour for the 48-hour Valentine Vacation.

George Washington’s birthday was ev­ en moved up from its traditional date to coincide with our Wir. • Carnival. Unfor­ tunately, the builders the Washington Monument were m. .formed of the change, and were ui: :o sculpt the tow­ er in time to celebrate occasion. They > mention in the did manage an hone bent flagpole categor owever.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Bluebird” or “We’re All Sputzies Now.” — The professors have released a booklet intended to be an aid in making elec­ tive choices, “We Never Promised You a Rose Garden” or “Selective Circus.”

— Drs. Kiessling, Lehmann, and Sullivan have been appointed to NWC’s Commis­ sion on Doctoral Matters.

Scholars are blossoming in every comer of the campus. Yet, sometimes you can get too wrapped up in your studies to keep your sanity. You know you’ve been hitting the books a bit too hard when you start: — directing hymns in your sleep.

— talking about school while eating.

— mistaking the English colon with the He­ brew soph passuq.

— taking No-Doz to stay awake in class.

A short, short story (that should probably be even shorter): John May not like this, but Gary Frey’d Mike’s Traudt and incurred James’ Rath.

Meanwihle, Jim Kuehl’d over at 4th and Walter Street; Tom Haar-dly could believe it, and Bob Gurgel’d in dismay. So Ted Wendt over to see if Scott Stone’d the young lady but he soon realized, “Wouldn’t Gary Warner if she were in danger of falling into Tom’s Trapp?”

In Terry’s Nuckolls was the key to the problem, but he lost it in Jim’s Oldfield.

However, Steve Hintz that Mark Cares enough about it to go find it, but when he got there, El wood Held(i)t in his hands.

They met the town drunk who said, “Me and Ken Arndt going to make Mark Bitter or make Jon Stem.”

The young lady fell into the river, but we saw Mark Fischer out and sell her as a maid. “Did Roy Beyer really?” we over­ heard Paul Reede-ing in the paper. Every­ body read it in disbelief, David Last of all, but Loren Lucht in the Catholic News and saw that they had elected Nathan Pope.

The only person who could solve the complicated problem was finally determin­ ed. Confidently, they all marched home chanting, “Mick Frick will do the trick.”

SPCRTS NWC’S SWEAT SHOP What is Northwestern’s most success­ ful sport? Well, if you’re thinking about attendance, you’d have to name football.

If you’re talking about a revitalized pro­ gram, you might name basketball or golf.

But if you’re talking about winning per­ centages, NWC’s wrestling program would definitely hold down the top spot. The team compiled a 7-1 record in dual meets this year, won one quadrangular, and plac­ ed second in two others. Only in their single tournament did our boys falter as they took last in the tough Lawrence In­ vitational Tournament.

4

To the novice wrestling fan, the sport looks ridiculously simple: just throw the other guy on his back and collect your prize and your accolades. This notion, com­ mon though it may be, is utter nonsense.

Just come along with me and see how champion wrestlers are made (there are few born wresders).

The first thing you will notice as we go to watch praedee is that we are going into the basement of the gym. It is evening.

There is no cheery sunlight, because the Varsity must surrender the preferable after­ noon hours to the high school team. The odor in the small, mat-lined room is not pleasant at the start of practice. It will get worse. Finally, you may notice that we are the only ones watching practice. Quite dif­ ferent from an average basketball practice.

In fact, at most schools the fan support is very poor even for matches. While the op­ posite is the case at NWC, few of us ever attend a wrestling practice. There just isn’t that much to see, unless you have latent sadistic tendencies.

Before practice the bodies are strewn around haphazardly on the mats. One might be inclined to make a snap judg­ ment and classify the lisdess bodies as lazy, but once the practice begins, this judgment soon disappears from the visitor’s mind.

Calisthenics are the first order of business.

They are done with as much enthusiasm and dispatch as possible but are really the 214

dullest part of the practice. The wrestler, like the football player, knows their value, but learns to put his body through the reg­ ular, strenuous motions while his mind is wandering to future matches, his girl, the big test coming up, or perhaps most often, to the end of the long season.

After calisthenics, the wrestlers divide into small groups for work on the tech­ nique of riding an opponent, escape moves, and takedowns. What has just been sum­ med up in one short sentence occupies an hour and a half of each practice, and leaves every wrestler utterly exhausted. Occasion­ ally injuries may occur in the heat of these practice sessions. Just ask the walking plaster sculpture, Carl Schomberg.

The wrestler is driven on by three things: pride, the desire to condition his body, and the desire to excel. His sport is one of the few team sports which pit one man so nakedly against another. Any mis­ takes a wrestler makes are seen by the whole crowd. He cannot get up quickly and return to the anonymity of the huddle.

He cannot blame his teammates for bad passes or poorly set picks. He must do all by himself. This situation makes wrestling a sport of almost unbearable agony in de­ feat and etherial exuberar.ee in victory.

After examining the alities which make up a wrestler, I to • you will want to join me in saluting Trojan wrest­ Walt Street lers : Paul Scharrer (16 (12-3), Greg Heiman ( • ' Paul Johns­ ton (5-2), Armin Schv.

11-5), Ralph Jones (10-5), Marc Bode .. :), Scott Dummann (7-5), Jim Kuehl Paul Fetzer (9-7), and all the other v. nlers who gave their all for the Black and Red. THE STRAWBOSS What kind of monster can drive ath­ letes to continue to put up with all the drawbacks of wresding? What kind of an­ imal can whip men into top physical con­ dition? In the case of NWC’s wresding team, the man is neither a monster, nor an animal, but is rather one of the nicest guys ever to enter the coaching profession. The strawboss is Ed Pieper. Coach Pieper mov­ ed to the wrestling program this year when Coach Thompson was named the new bas­ ketball coach. In case you didn’t know, Coach Pieper recommended Coach Thomp-

F

son for the job. That’s the kind of man Ed Pieper is.

What started out as a shifting of bas­ ketball coaches may in the long run prove to be a boon for the college wrestling pro­ gram. The sport is in its second year and was badly in need of a permanent coach to keep interest high, inspire the partici­ pants, and give the team mature organiz­ ation. Coach Pieper has filled this vacancy more than adequately. His forte seems to be in his spirit and concern for his wrest­ lers. He admits his shortcomings in the area of teaching, but he has added to his basic knowledge of the game and will con­ tinue to develop it in future years.

The spirit mentioned above is most evi­ dent at a match. The Coach keeps his wrest­ ler aware of the time left in the match, the riding-time situation, and echoes any help­ ful instructions suggested by other Trojan wrestlers.

Paul Fetzer, the heavyweight who has improved noticeably this season, rates Coach Pieper highly as a morale builder.

Paul says that the Coach often talked with him and helped to build up his confidence.

Team morale is also helped by the easy atmosphere of the eiices. They are kept loose by a steady b.u ' : • of Coach Pieper’s “jokes.” One ir.L ng morale-builder which the Coach eurated is called “horse.” When an ; wrestler pins his man, the wrestle? • him must also pin or get a horse. in with the most horses at the er.o . :e season will find himself co-host w ■ the Coach of a team party.

Coach Pieper \v .veil pleased with the past season, and iig>:dy so. He attributes the poor showing m the Lawrence Invita­ tional to four factors. While the other schools had the experience of two or more tournaments already under their belts, our

schedule had only dual meets in the second half of the season. Then, too, our boys were slightly overconfident, due to a “breather” against Concordia during the week of the tournament. Thirdly, Coach Pieper believes that our team is not ideally suited for tourney action, but is much bet­ ter suited for dual meets. Finally, he faults his own inexperience. He thinks that the boys may not have been working quite hard enough in the stretch; he vows that this will not happen again in the future.

It would appear that wrestling has reached the status of a major sport at NWC. Coach Pieper deserves sincere con­ gratulations on his successful season.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK The Apostle Paul used the world of track several times in his letters to drive home points more clearly. Track was the sport in ancient Greece. Its high point, of course, came in the Olympics. The winners of the coveted laurel wreaths were national her­ oes similar to our top professional athletes, and might even be compared to our most recent national heroes, the astronauts.

Track is also a popular sport in the mod­ em world. It is thriving on the high school and collegiate levels, but perhaps has failed to catch the fancy of John Q. Sportsfan.

Perhaps this is due to the fact that there is no professional track league at the pre­ sent time. Perhaps the public has been bombarded with too many other sports. At any rate, track seems to be primarily a participation sport, rather than a spectator sport, with the possible exception of an Olympic year.

Last year the NWC track program was revived due to the efforts of Tutor Hartzell.

The Tutor had several blue chip athletes who scored points in the conference meet, but often had to forfeit many events (es­ pecially weight events) in dual meets.

After the promising start of last year, there are high hopes that this year’s track team will experience a sophomore success similar to that enjoyed by our wrestling team. Coach Thompson will take over the duties of head coach. The Coach thinks that the track program will be a definite asset to Northwestern, regardless of its won-loss record. He thinks that a good sport is one which gives as many individuals as

possible a chance to compete. Track cer­ tainly does just that.

For example, if you are quick but not too strong, there are the 100 yard dash, the 220 yard dash, and the 440 yard relay. If you can run all day, but are no real threat to Bob Hayes, there are the 440, the half mile, the mile, the two mile, and the mile relay events. For the quick man with spring in his trotters there are the 120 yard high hurdles and the 180 yard lows. Maybe you can’t run a lick but can jump a mile. Come on out and try the long jump, high jump, or triple jump. If you really want a thrill and have good coordination and strength, try the pole vault. And track does not dis­ criminate against the plodding hulks of the master race. Shotput, javelin, and discus all require brute strength and proper form.

Most of these events do not require vast ex­ perience or knowledge, But can be learned and mastered by the boy with the right phy­ sique and the proper attitude. Come on out and see what you can do!

As you can see, track offers something for all. Now is the time to decide whether you will help yourself and your school by participating in someth . this spring.

Golfers, baseball players, d tennis play­ ers can enjoy a few mo;-, weeks layoff, (annot. His but the potential track ■ conditioning program nv vt underway soon.

BASKETBALL TROJANS EVEN SCORE WITH MARANATHA 81-58 The Trojans, decked out in new uni­ forms, were eager to get back from the Christmas recess to settle an old score with Maranatha. It took them ten minutes be­ fore they got rolling, but after that it was “Katy bar the door!” The Trojans, thanks to the hustle of Rog Schultz, Larry Lemke, and Igor Naumann, ran off 14 straight points to take a 39-25 lead at the half. To show you how hard Larry Lemke was go­ ing at it; he lost his shoe and continued to 216

came roaring back with the torrid shooting of Dave Kriehn (13 points in the half) and Beck Goldbeck (8 points). Beck’s scoring and rebounding prompted Moose to give the burly Lakeland center a chewing out that he won’t soon forget. The offensive surge could also be traced to the fact that Moose chose to pull off his devastating press rather early in the first half. We trail­ ed at halftime by a single point 41-40.

One of the Trojans’ patented cold streaks opened the door for Lakeland, and they promptly opened up a ten-point lead.

Glen Thompson, Beck, and Igor held us in the game while Hotz burned the nets for the Muskies. Yet another frigid spell re­ sulted in a twenty-point spread with only six minutes left in the game, 89-69. The Trojans never gave up, though, and a clos­ ing rally sparked by Igor and Toepel made the final score 101-89. NWC’s downfall might be attributed to the 12 rebound ad­ vantage which the Muskies built up in the second half.

The Trobabes were no more successful than were their older counterparts. They lost 108-76. Ehlke, Thompson, and Zahn put in good performances with 24, 18, and 16 points, respectively.

play without it until he got back in the gen­ eral neighborhood a minute or so later. Re­ bounding dominance and the fine play of Norm Seeger and Mark Toepel helped ac­ count for the half-time lead.

The Trojans’ lead continued to climb in a rather uneventful second half. The final was 81-58. The high Northwestern total came on balanced scoring: Igor 14, Beck Goldbeck 14, Glen Thomson 12, and Lemke 17 in one of his finest games of the season.

Another big factor in the victory was the strong defensive work which Igor did on the Crusader’s ace center, Mark Michienzi. The Trojans outclassed Maranatha in shooting percentage by hitting 40% to the Crusaders’ 24%.

Maranatha’s Jayvees were unable or un­ willing to meet our Trobabes in the sche­ duled preliminary game.

MILTON GLORIES IN OUR BLINDNESS 100-86 Milton College got 24 points out of Ken Tanner and 23 out of super soph, Chuck Didler, and used this potent duo to run away from the Trojans. Milton worked an effective fast break and made use of a hot shooting pace to take a 15 point lead at the half. The Trojans’ : from the floor was anemic when con'.'. with the Wildcats’ 52%. Leading scc»: • for the Trojans were Igor with 15, Le 1 id Schultz with 14, and Goldbeck w easily defeated our In the prelim lattek with 12 and Trobabes, 62-47 Don Thompson v. ;^ave the NWC fans something to chee .bout.

TROJANS COR MOOSE BUT LET LAKELAND ESCAPE 101-89.

The scrappy Trojans gave Moose Woltzen and his Lakeland cagers some anxious moments Jan. 16, but our inability to hand­ le Lakeland’s press, coupled with our own poor defensive showing led to our ultimate defeat. Lakeland was led by the second leading scorer in the conference, Ray Heck, and his talented sidekick, Mike Hotz. Igor had the responsibility of covering the lat­ ter, a fact which prompted one wag to com­ ment, “Igor’s got the Hotz!”

Northwestern was giving Lakeland sec­ ond and third shots at the basket in the early stages of the game. When we finally curtailed this dangerous generosity, NWC 217

TROJANS TAKE SECOND IN CONCORDIA “CLASSIC” Northwestern gained the finals of the poorly publicized, poorly attended and poor­ ly officiated Concordia tournament with an 85-80 victory over Milwaukee Tech. The game was one of those in which the Tro­ jans looked as if they could break the game wide open at any moment, but never did.

Nineteen turnovers, Milwaukee Tech’s re­ bounding edge, and our own 37% shooting prevented this. How did we win? Free throws. We sank 23 of 36. Many of these came in the crucial moments near the end of the game. The Trojans enjoyed a bal­ anced attack. Schultz and Naumann scor­ ed 19 each, Beck chipped in 11, and Glen started to regain his old form with a 17 point performance.

The final game of the tournament might be summed up in three words: Smith and Nash. Wayne Smith is Concordia’s answer to the Neanderthal man, but he can play some pretty sophisticated basket­ ball. Smith’s 21 points in the first half helped the Falcons to a 53-42 lead at the i -

intermission. Fred Nash, a rambler with fluidity of moves, danced and twisted his spindly frame to score 26 points and grab many errant Trojan shots. Last year he was a trifle heavier. In fact, he looked more like a Mack truck than a Rambler.

The referees were nothing to write home about. If NWC’s answer to the town crier, Paul Metzger, hadn’t toned down his crit­ icism of the men in stripes a bit, he might have been writing home from the Milwau­ kee jail. Three factors which contributed to our downfall were our inability to pene­ trate Concordia’s pressure man-to-man de­ fense, our mediocrity from the charity stripe, and a rebounding deficit which be­ came more intolerable with every passing second of the second half.

Concordia fashioned a 26-11 lead in the opening minutes of the contest. NWC’s fresh tandem of guards, Lemke and Toepel, helped to bring us back within one at 31-30. This comeback was one of the rare opportunities in which the Trojan fans were able to let their cheers ring out. The optimism was soon extinguished as the Fal­ cons strung together a run of seven to at­ tain their 53-42 halftime margin.

Missed shots and even missed layups made Concordia’s lead swell o 74-54. Norm Seeger came off the bene'! ' put on one of the finest ball-hawking defensive ex­ hibitions I have ever seen. was too bad that the “Storm Trooper .- d to do it in such a frustrating defeat.

Suffice it to say that Dominican: outrebounded us by 20, got off 40 more shots than we did and shot a better percentage while doing it, had the game’s leading scorer in Rich Gray with 29, and contained our team’s offense quite well. Schultz had 19, and Beck’s total was 11. Who ever said South­ erners are hospitable?

HECK - CAN THAT BOY SHOOT! LAKELAND ROUTS TROJANS 121-85 Lakeland guard Ray Heck, the second leading scorer in the Gateway Conference, showed the Trojans a thing or two about long range artillery and gunned in 40 points in the spacious Sheboygan Armory.

When Mike Holtz’s 24 points were added to Heck’s total, the sum added up to a de­ feat for Coach Thompson’s cagers. The Muskies built their half-time lead of 56-36 into a whopping 121-85 margin of victory.

The Trojans weren’t really afraid to shoot the ball. They got off 106 shots but con­ nected on only a third of them, while Lake­ land shot over 50%. Bright spots in the Trojan gloom were Rog Schultz’s 24 points and Norm Seeger’s 15. Schultz appears to have finally regained his old touch, which had become a little rusty in his sabbatical season from basketball last year.

The Trobabes experienced a fate sim­ ilar to that of the Varsity. Mark Lindner’s 17 points weren’t enough to counter Lake­ land’s balanced scoring machine. The Jun­ ior Muskies had eight men in double figures and won 120-72.

CONCORDIA CON HNUES ITS MASTERY OF THE T i'OJANS 87-83 The scene \v same as our earlier script was changed, loss to Concordia but the results a frustration for the he game was close Trojans were the all the way, and cams were almost equal in all of . port ant statistics. in excessive numNorthwestern did ber of bad passe cough. Perhaps the game was lost at i . ree-throw line. North­ western gave Concordia eight more oppor­ tunities to shoot free throws, and they hit eight more than wc did. Glen Thompson scored 22 for us, and Schultz pumped in 19, while Nash rang up 31 for the Falcons.

ing. Then NWC’s pressure defense and fine scoring cooled them off and produced a 48-37 halftime advantage for the Tro­ jans.

For ten minutes in the second half, Northwestern kept its ten-point lead. After a nine-point blitz, the count stood at 70-53.

As Milton began its comeback, Igor found his favorite spot and brought sighs and cheers from the fans by hitting four straight long range jumpers.

If any of NWC’s fans figured the game was already on ice, Didier and Tanner of Milton put an end to those notions faster than you can say Red Oberbrunner. Milton used its press to come within seven at 88-81. But the Trojans were not to be de­ nied. They even increased their lead to 102-91 at the end of the game, thanks to six straight free-throws in the closing two minutes. In one word: great! Schultz had 29, Igor 25, and Glen 23 in a total team effort.

DE SALES HELPS US CELEBRATE WINTER CARNIVAL 91-78 Maybe NWC should b - e a Winter Car­ nival all through the b.*..Jball season. It seems to do wonders fo- be players. De Sales of Milwaukee w. lot a big team 1'hey came inbut had some fine shoot*; to the game sporting avi ; record in their conference, good eno Tor first place there. They were visit-red, since we were their third opponcr i of the week.

Northwestern jump* off to an early lead, 6-2. In spite of one • he most listless crowds of the season, the Trojans fought to a 47-33 mark at halftime. “Chooch” Bock, the public address announcer, pro­ nounced the crowd D.O.A. during the break, and the spirit seemed to pick up a little af­ ter the intermission.

Despite the great efforts by three of De Sales’ players, the Trojans kept their lead and won 91-78. De Sales had an unusual scoring pattern. One man would get hot, score about ten straight points, and then fade into obscurity as another of his team­ mates went on a scoring binge. The Tro­ jans, meanwhile, had all five starters on their way to double figures. Added to this was the surplus of 29 extra rebounds which Northwestern fashioned over De Sales’ total.

220

: lackluster 1-7. We were in almost every game but were plagued by frequent cold spells during which none of our shots would drop. Coach Thompson expects a better schedule, a better knowledge of opponents’ capabilities, and his own knowledge of his material to help Northwestern to a better showing next season.

THREE TIMES AND OUT AS CONCORDIA WINS AGAIN 101-87 If you’re as sick of reading about Con­ cordia beating us as I am sick of writing the same, we can both just forget about the whole thing. But the show must go on, I guess.

It was a historic night on February 17, for this was the last time a game would be played in the old gym (provided the con­ struction on the new edifice picks up a hair before next season). We took a 4538 lead at the half. Our lead was created

by Beck and Igor’s strong offensive re­ bounding, Glen’s all around good play, and by the zone defense which was containing Smith and Nash effectively. We even got some fast breaks which seemed to demor­ alize the Falcons.

Nash, Smith, and John Grantz went wild in the second half. They also con­ trolled the boards so convincingly that Concordia took the lead at 60-58 with 14 minutes left in the game. Missed free throws, bad passes, and cold shooting all added to the Trojans’ woes. A final cold streak, coupled with Concordia’s free throw shooting prowess made the final score 10187. The final sco’ ?akes the game sound like a runaway, H it was actually quite close all the way. n Thompson’s 27 led in had five men in our scoring as w double figures.

CRENCE SEASON TROJANS END WITH TWO LG TO NORTHLAND 94-77. .00-88 After a long de up to Ashland, the Trojans just were. ; • ady to play ball. The result was a 94-7. .feat. Coach Thomp­ son elected to use iris reserves extensively in order to save his regulars for the follow­ ing day. Mark Lindner made good use of the opportunity and scored 14 points, while Roger Kuerth banged in 13. Northland played a very aggressive game and forced many bad passes by the Trojans.

Saturday’s game was a much better con­ test. NWC’s demise proved to be an aston­ ishing 35 turnovers, many of them in the second half. The half-time score had been 44-41 (Northland), but the Lumberjacks scored 56 points in the final half to win, 100-88. Thompson made 23, Goldbeck 20, Naumann 16, and Schultz 15.

The Trojans’ conference record was a

INTRAMURALS The top four teams of the tough 21 teams in the Northwestern Basketball As­ sociation (N.B.A.) played each other in a dog eat dog and devil take the hindmost round robin. Schroeder’s Seniors and Schwertfeger’s Freshmen both won their first two games and met in the promoter’s dream: the match of the unbeatens. The other two teams in the playoff were Ziesemer’s Sophs and Kleist’s Juniors.

The Championship game was extreme­ ly close all the way. Emotions and tem­ pers were flying high, and John Mattek ev­ en had to leave the game with an eye in­ jury. With five seconds to go in the game, the Seniors had a 2 point lead and appar­ ently a championship. The Frosh did not give up, however, but tied the game on Charlie Degner’s short jumper with a sec­ ond left in the game. The score was 51-51.

The Frosh jumped into a small lead in the overtime and the Seniors had to try to foul to catch up. They were not successful and the Frosh won by three. It is ironic to note that the losers also took the Intramur­ al championship when they were Fresh­ men.

Members of the winning team are: John Mattek, John Gawrisch, Mark Schwertfeger, Jon Stem, Charles Degner, John Dol­ an, Dale Schaefer, and Don Sutton, a trans­ fer student who later practiced with the Varsity and could not compete in the play­ offs.

discussing the dilemma of beards, mus­ taches, and sideburns. What will be the reaction of parents, relatives, and friends who attend the commencement exercise or read about it? The Senior class is making every effort to publicize this special obser­ vance of graduation in hometown newspa­ pers, local parish bulletins, students’ home parish bulletins, the Black and Red, and all other available media.

We hope that by listing our purpose for celebrating our commencement in the above manner informed readers will be­ come open minded, receptive, and as en­ thusiastic as the 48 graduating Seniors.

Young men, many of voting age and older, have spent from four to- eight years in pre­ paration at Northwestern College for their Lord’s vineyard. They have no desire to partake in drugs, communal fornication, revolution, or any manner of sin frequent­ ly identified with men wearing beards, mus­ taches, and sideburns. Facial foliage is a trend to become more and more popular in the 70’s like the lengthening of hair when many of us were Sextaners eight years ago.

222

The Class of 1971 expressed the desire to make their graduation from college one of the most meaningful events in their lives. The planning and work in the months before and at graduation will emphasize the importance of the event itself. An ob­ servance of the type planned has signifi­ cance for not only the graduates, but also the undergraduates, the faculty, and the many friends of the college. Northwestern has strong ties with its past. It has retain­ ed a curriculum which has proven itself of the greatest value for pre-ministerial train­ ing for hundreds of years. By a flash back into Northwestern’s past it is hoped that participants will see the same adherence to the religious conviction of Lutheran Christians today that would have been seen in Northwestern’s first graduating class — a class that produced the famed theologian Francis Pieper. It was also thought that the centenial would serve the school as a wholesome form of publicity.

To some critics “Northwestern College is not with it.” Our commencement would not be possible at mar. iher schools in 1971. How many othe schools do you know that are able to bit : the best of the past with the promise of blessed future?

Jesus Christ yesterday. ‘ , and forever.

What’s Up Next?

A re you ever lost? You can become lost ** very frequently at NWC if you aren’t careful. How? Oh, it’s not your fault many times; it just seems to happen that way. The problem seems to be organization. Too of­ ten you’re given a very sketchy and vague outline, and that’s supposed to take care of you. Well, most often it doesn’t. This past month we have seen some examples of how poor organization and planning can leave you lost, bored and completely turned off.

Oh, we try, but it seems we start too late and never get out of low.

However, there have been some exam­ ples of what good sound, long range organ­ izing and planning can do. The intramur­ al program is always well planned and exe­ cuted. This is due basically to good organ­ ization. Several classes are also very well organized, so that the students know ex­ actly when tests are coming and what their

assignments are for every period during the semester. Unfortunately these classes are the exception rather than the rule.

Anything that is properly organized and carried out always leaves a good impres­ sion and doesn’t lose you. But that which is slip-shod is remembered as another one of NWC’s attempts. It’s time that we learn from all of our past mistakes!! Let’s start planning and working far enough in ad­ vance to assure a success rather than an attempt.

J.E.W.

apathy: thirty people watching from their windows as an old man gets mugged; pas­ sing that lady with her hood up and think­ ing that someone else will stop to help; seeing wrong, seeing poverty, seeing sick­ ness, but not feeling it; the disease of non­ love.

Apathy is itself a malady, the malady of our society, and of us as individuals. To the extent that ' U.S. has fallen from the love for and of -ist, to that extent is the U.S. apathetic. ;he same context, to the extent that wc ■ are still Christians do not show or fee Jove of Christ we share in this apathy. there is very little worse than an apath -rson (note Revelation, chapter 3 whe mist declares His hate for lukewarm'' and His preference even for the cole! the cold can be treated, whereas the In. um is shut off to any emotion or crk!:;rn or reform.)

Till now yev nay have been nodding your head comfortably, my friend, but the show’s just beginning. You may help old ladies in distress, feel concern for the poor and think that racism is a terrible thing, but I doubt whether you or I can ever es­ cape the disease of our times completely, or even generally. With every “I don’t care” and every shoulder shrug apathy takes a step forward. Half-heartedness in anything constitutes apathy in God’s eyes. If you play football, but don’t really put out; if you study Hebrew, but don’t really dig in; if you have friends, but don’t give them the true benefit of your friendship; these things spell apathy and they indicate the sad state of our love for man, and for God. Let con­ cern and sweat replace apathy — and down with lukewarm!

That’s My Boy al dimmed, Bruce began to feel a warmth in his heart for the strange creature living alone in the refrigerator’s machinery.

This, friends, is my son, who lies here A sleeping. He is seven years old. Re­ gard him now, at the end of a busy day.

;•

;

;

One day his mother noticed a glass of milk in front of the hole.

Although he is asleep, he is not com­ pletely in bed, only partially. He doesn’t like to sleep between the sheets but prefers to sleep between the blanket and the top sheet as he is doing now. Beside him lies his pet and his closest friend, his yellow cat. He’s had the cat now for almost three and a half years. I can still remember the day he got the kitten. It was right before we moved here, but first let me tell you what led up to his getting the little yellow kitten three and a half years ago.

“What is that doing there?” she asked, and he answered that he was afraid the lion was thirsty.

His mother frowned for a moment, but she said nothing and she didn’t remove the glass. When she told me that evening, I gave Bruce a pat on the head and laughed.

The next morning when Bruce examined the glass, sure enough, it was empty, and he felt glad the lion had liked the milk he had put out for him.

Bruce was three and a half years old then and very inquisitive as well as mis­ chievous. Knowing this, I should have fore­ seen the danger of the partially exposed back of the refrigerator before I found him exploring the works inside. There wasn’t quite sufficient wall space in the kitchen of our apartment for the refrigerator, so about a fourth of it protruded into the hall­ way leading to the bedroom.

T , . , x t» .1 . « I explained to Bruce that a big, fierce lion lived in the back of the refrigerator now and would bite the hand of any little boy who dared to reach into its domain. even told him hat I was afraid of the beast and would not dare put myhand into its house. Terror had entered the apartment as far as Bruce was concerned. He gave the hole a wide berth. He screamed with warning when his brother carelessly walked too near it. But as the weeks passed and the initial shock of the animal’s arriv-

That afternoon he left half of his sand­ wich and a couple of jelly beans on a sauc­ er in front of the hole. He watched and watched, but there was no stirring within, and he kept running bad !U bedtime to see if the offering was taV-m, He even talked to the lion softly, so . . not to disturb it if it happened to be coring, and ex­ plained that the food was ; for it to eat.

The next morning when :: woke and ran to see the saucer, it was o;.i }*ty. Bruce felt had a friend. with warm pleasure tha; “I love that lion,” he told his mother.

After that, each evening she gave him a dish of table scraps and a glass of water to feed his lion. The food and drink were always gone in the morning and the dishes sparkling clean.

Bruce treated his pet with the utmost respect. He never put anything into its ho£ei.never ventured too near fnd never made loud noises around lt He never saw the u bm ln his mind-s he had a clear picture 0f it. It looked just like th/one h/had seen ln the zoo _ Jblg and beautifulj with thick> t fur an| soft brown eves ^ Things continued on this way for quite some time until one day when Bruce not­ iced that I was bringing cardboard boxes home and that his mother was wrapping

Suddenly something constricting and painful seemed released in Bruce’s chest and he cried noisily. “I love that lion,” he sobbed.

her silverware and knickknacks and most of the dishes in newspapers and packing them carefully in the boxes.

“Darling,” she said to Bruce the next morning, “Daddy has bought us a house.

We’re going to move into it next weekend.

You and your brother will have your own room, and there’s a living room and a din­ ing room and a big porch and a yard with trees and bushes and flowers.”

Bruce assimilated the news slowly. His mother looked so happy that he could not help feeling happy, too.

“Of course you do,” I said comforting him, and I pulled him into my lap and held him close. “And he loves you. But he says if you don’t mind, he’d like to go back to his jugle now and be with the other lions and live out under the trees. And do you know what else he told me? He has a friend he’d like you to take care of. He’d like you to take it to your new house and feed it and love it.”

“Will we all go together?” Bruce asked, and his mother nodded her head to mean yes.

“Will we take our furniture with us?” he asked.

“Everything,” his mother assured him.

:

Bruce’s sobs slowly ceased. I took a handkerchief from my pocket and wiped Bruce’s face and helped him blow his nose.

“Now go to sleep,” I said after a while, and I put him back into bed and pulled the sheet and blanket over him. “When you wake up tomorrow, your lion will be gone.

He’ll be very happy playing in the jungle.

But he’ll have left a surprise for you.”

Bruce woke slowly the next morning.

He could hear his mother moving about in the kitchen. Then he remembered.

“And the ’frigerator and my lion?”

His mother’s face grew serious. “Hon­ ey,” she said, “the refrigerator isn’t ours.

It belongs to the apartment. We have to leave it here. We’ll have a new one in the house — a much nicer one.”

He scrambled out of bed and ran into the hallway. He stopped in momentary dis­ belief and then tiptoed toward the furry yellow kitten sleeping in a basket in the very spot where he had left his lion’s din­ ner the night before. He got down on his elbows and knees and put his face on a level with the kitten’s. The little animal

Bruc id nothing and he did not cry.

Not out a-.,; . hut he felt as if he were cry­ ing inside, fie felt miserable for the rest of the d ::1 a couple of times he lay down on door in front of the hole and talked to . . lion. He told it about moving to the he; and how maybe he wouldn’t go, but ’» • • i stay in the apartment so he could look after his friend. But when he thought about it, that was an even more lonely thought; he would miss his mother and father and even his brother. In fact, he could not even imagine living anywhere without them.

He could not eat his supper that even­ ing, and his mother and I watched him but didn’t ask him any questions. After his mother had heard his prayers and settled him in bed and kissed him good night, I came in and sat on his bed in the darkness.

“Bruce,” I said, “I had a talk with your lion while you were saying your prayers.

He says he’s very happy you are going to move into a house and have a nice yard to play in. But do you know what else he

moved and stretched and opened one gold­ en eye and then winked at Bruce. Bruce tentatively reached out a hand and gently stroked the soft yellow fur. The kitten be­ gan to purr.

Bruce turned a face beaming with de­ light to his mother, who had come to watch.

Tn spite of the nation-wide concern over ^ environmental pollution, which is being voiced by farmer, housewife, student, bus­ inessman, and politician alike, one must admit that very little is actually being done on the personal level. Throw-away cans and bottles are still being produced and purchased by the public, protective moth­ ers continue to drive junior to the school which is only seven or eight blocks away from home, manufacturers continue to spew forth products which have a built in obsolescence in order to guarantee a steady market for the future, and oil companies are still planning to drill more than two hundred new offshore oil wells during this year, although no method has yet been de­ veloped to prevent the recurrence of oil disasters similar to those already experi­ enced along the coasts of California and Louisiana.

Yes, man is a selfish creature and does not want to relinquish any of his conven­ iences which he has obtained through his own technical ingenuity. Yet man refuses to point the finger of guilt at his own per­ son; rather he seeks to find a suitable scape­ goat upon which to place his own guilt.

Taxpayers readily allot enormous sums of money for research to find solutions for in­ dustrial pollution; industry points to the millions of cars on the nation’s highways which daily pollute our atmosphere; rural localities condemn municipalities for dumping sewage into rivers and lakes, while at the same time fanners themselves are castigated for spreading manure on their fields. Wherever the guilt lies, one thing seems fairly certain — man’s efforts to repair the damage he has wrought will (and in the long run must) affect each one of us personally.

It is in this area of personal involve­ ment that the Christian must be careful not to use his Christianity as a pretext for shirking his responsibilities on this earth.

Here a distinction must be made between faith in God’s providence and fatalism. A Christian becomes a fatalist when he with­ draws from the world around him and shrugs off problems like pollution by say­ ing, “God will provide.” Admittedly, God

has created the world and also sustains and continually cares for all its creatures through his divine providence. However, this does not imply that one should there­ fore sit passively back and view all that happens as inevitable, for as Mueller writes in Christian Dogmatics, Although men live, move, and have their being in God, they remain free, or self-determining, be­ ings, who are personally responsible to God for whatever they do . . . " When the Lord placed man in the garden c\ i\den, He com­ manded him to tend and ■ keep it (i.e., to • ’.’s ideal state. look after it). Even in he had a certain duty . ■ responsibility toward God. Because G has given man dominion over the entire nth, man con­ tinues to be responsible ic \ • d for the man­ ner in which he uses the ^lily abundance which the Lord has prcv ; . . Yet because of our sinful, selfish natures, even our best efforts fall short of their desired goal and often accomplish the very opposite of what was intended. At this point the Christian and the man of the world part company; for when even our noblest endeavors ap­ pear to fail, the Christian does not need to despair but can trust confidently in God’s providence to uphold and preserve the world and everything in it.

Thus, while it is a Christian’s respon­ sibility to take an active interest in the world and the problems which arise, he can nevertheless rest assured in God’s in­ scrutable providence, for as St. Paul writes, “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?”

THE CLASS OF NO QUALMS

■

■

: : .

Ijne of the newest and most “revolutionary” things to hit Northwestern’s curriculum in the second semester of this year was the course in modern poetry. This course is currently being offered under the able direction of Professor S. Quam, who has done extensive post-graduate work in this fascinating field of English literature.

Although it may be too early to tell, Profes­ sor Quam has informed me that, on the whole, he is quite satisfied with the course.

■

'

On the first day of class, when the syl­ labuses were distributed (which someone affectionately said was thick enough to start a paper drive), we learned the objec­ tives of the course. The primary objective was to instill in the students a greater ap­ preciation and enjoyment of modern poet­ ry. One of the first things we were told was that poetry is not something for sissies to sit around and read while sipping their tea.

It takes a real man to understand and en­ joy poetry. (Maybe we’re all still growing.)

Professor Cuam felt that if students learn to really enjoy and “dig" this stuff, then the effoi von't be wasted.

Prof • Quam, as well as many other experts ;c subject feel that a good poem can neve.: : : exhausted; that no matter how much eu study a poem, you can al­ ways fin r.ew thought or idea imbedded within. Tills quality of good poetry has proved to be a source of irritation to many students, especially to those of us who nev­ er got past the "Roses are red / Violets are blue” stage. This feeling of frustration is always there because you can never say you’re “finished” with a poem, as you can with a conjugation of verb forms.

Because this was the first year the course was offered, a great amount of in­ terest was shown, with some fifty-five stu­ dents electing the course. Perhaps one rea­ son for the popularity of this class is that the students are allowed to use their im­ agination to the utmost, and for poets like Stevens you need quite an imagination ev­ en to begin to understand them. After all, how much imagination does it take to learn a declension of Greek nouns? For those students who have a hangup about “tradi-

tion” at Northwestern, this course should prove to be a good outlet for their pent-up ideas.

Robert Frost, one of the giants of Amer­ ican poetry, said, “Poetry provides the one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another.” Maybe this is what the students have been seeking for a long time.

For once we can’t be held responsible for everything we say. It isn’t very often when we get to study a pig with his trotters stick­ ing straight out, along with a blue guitar and a turquoise hen, all in one class.

Like any good English course, this one also requires long-term written assign­ ments. During the course of the semester, each student is expected to write either a paper or else six creative poems. For rea­ sons of personal interest or otherwise, nearly everyone chose the creative writing.

Professor Quam has by now had a good sampling of these works and has termed them as being definitely “above average.”

The first example of these creative works is the haiku. This is a form of Jap­ anese poetry, whose three lines contain five, seven, and five syllables respectively.

The imagination now takes over as bits of philosophy and wit are supposedly expres­ sed.

The day is the same as every other, except it’s now tomorrow.

Through this world, confused and listless dead men dart.

They have no aim; their wretched minds are black as coal.

They say the world’s a stage and all men play their part.

Unknown and countless thousands have a skill and art.

Some, searching for their purpose, don’t know where to start.

For some, to live in bliss, to others to impart A reason for existance for other men to dole; They say the world’s a stage and all men play their part.

To make a mark is easy, but in painless smart A path is found on which to walk; it takes it’s toll.

Some, searching for a purpose, don’t know where to start.

Should each of mankind live life from his heart, He’d find contentment, peace and joy of soul.

They say the world’s a stage and all men play their part; Some, searching for a purpose, don’t know where to start.

It is highly doubtful that Northwestern will be graduating any Robert Frosts or Wallace •<evens’ in the near future, but the stud ' will be given a new medium of self-e :> •vssion. The instructor has no qualms the course, and evidently the studen a t either.

The multi-colored cloak, son-an which recently clad boughs of trees, now lay upon the ground subdued in its brilliance. A little red squirrel scurried busily back and forth from his nest to the floor below, gathering his precious rations for the onset of winter. Across the clear­ ing came a vixen with her two kits, rollick­ ing playfully.

arwood cabin. His steps became notice­ ably heavier as he drew near. He had set out early at sunrise and since that time had covered over fifteen miles and placed some thirty traps, each capable of holding any­ thing the size of a wolf and smaller. Once the animal fell victim to its firm steel jaws, there was no way of escape, since the trap was chained to a stake.

Jeremiah slung his pack off outside the door and entered appreciatively into the warmth of the cabin. He crossed to the huge stone fireplace, of which he was quite proud, and lighted the fire which he had prepared earlier in the morning. Then he charged up the old black stove in similar fashion, so he could begin the meal. The warmth that issued forth and the coziness of the cabin combined forces, sucessfully keeping out the cold.

It had indeed become much colder since the morning. Jeremiah had been right — at least, so far. He had decided it was the right time for setting his line because he sensed the coming of the first snow. The traps, already partially concealed, would become invisible with the fresh layer of snow. His tracks would also be well cover­ ed. His first take should ?;e?‘ly be a good one, Jeremiah thought joyfully. Yes, this first snow would indeed be good fortune for him.

The trapper stepped u the woodbox and pulled out a couple large chunks for his fire in the stove. He crossed to the door and, opening it, gave a shrill whistle which broke the peacefulness of the twilight. Red should be near the cabin, he thought. He had felt Jeremiah only a mile from their little clearing. He would soon be dashing up to the cabin door and with a bound place almost his entire body into Jeremiah’s arms.

Red was a gigantic lovable Irish Setter.

Always full of vitality and constantly seek­ ing attention, this man’s best friend was a source of much needed companionship.

Jeremiah treated Red as if he were human.

Red in return, often acted as if he were al­ most human. Jeremiah saw to it that Red’s coat always gleamed in the sunlight, as if a source of illumination itself.

Jeremiah waited a few minutes, whistl­ ed again, and returned to start their even­ ing meal. Tonight it was to be special.

234

They were going to have pork chops, a rar­ ity for them, of course.

Ten minutes had elapsed, when Jere­ miah again stepped to the door. As he opened it, a heavy snowfall was there to greet him. He thought to himself, this is a special day for sure. All my predictions have been true. What beautiful snow.

Growing Up Goodness

But where was Red? He gave a long shrill whistle and then called him by name.

He waited. He repeated it. He waited. Still no response. Jeremiah ran for his coat, grabbed his rifle, and donned a cap.

Could it be possible? he asked himself.

Red had always been rather curious over the sets. But surely he knew enough to keep away. Yet, Jeremiah realized he had to begin somewhere. There was only a real possibility of two sets He was running hard now, realizing full well the plight of a dog caught in a trap in the wilds. All too well he knew it. He hastened his step which was already at a fast pace. He could see the first set now with its steel jaws empty; waiting to lash out at the unsuspecting.

The second was only a short distance away. It bad been one of the more clever sets. Tl was a series of small rocks in the mio of a path trod by numerous ani­ mals. }■' o t creatures when approaching this spo juld cross these rocks leaping from (be:: back to the trail.

Now he saw him. Poor old Red. He probably had been off chasing a rabbit again and had followed him over those very rocks. Had the snow not fallen that night Red would surely have sensed the trap and avoided it. But already the ground wore a blanket of white.

But what was that? A large dark sil­ houette moved slowly across in the moon­ light, and Jeremiah knew immediately what would happen if he did not hurry.

Let me go where my heart can find peace.

A sad song I mean Of days far gone and life without lease.

The pressures are here.

Toil with reward and happiness there Without daily fear That fills my mind o’erflowing with care.

There I want to be.

There again my heart aches to be free.

Let me go to see.

Can I find the joy of Innisfree?

Is it an image Found only in childhood fantasies?

Or can any age Find for his contentment these lost keys?

A song is wailing in my mind; Another song assails my ears.

The music blasts and boils refined By toil and torment through the years.

A tortured tune, a twisted kind Of music captivates my peers.

The soul and music are aligned, The soul absorbed by what it hears.

See the mad dancing, the frenzied leaping like some lost ceremony.

Hear 'the brash, bright, changing colors.

Pounding purple buzzing in your brain.

You can’t refrain.

You feel insane.

You’ve lost the chain That made you lame.

Move into a churning, bubbling world apart.

The air is soft and thick with blue and green and fluffy yellow.

The floor moves out from under and the walls Reverberate with sweet odors of wrenching chords.

The sound controls your being; Your heart is a throbbing buss guitar.

Sit back and watch your spirit soar.

Perhaps you’ll find out who you are.

These are the nine men who are re­ sponsible to the Wisconsin Synod for the way Northwestern College is operated.

tice which are clearly contrary to the wel­ fare of the school.”

Several questions were also asked of the Board members regarding their views on student opinions in regard to school pol­ icies, their views on the Black and Red and any other comments they might have on dorm life and the curriculum.

All the Board members generally felt that they would willingly listen to students’ opinions. Pastor Siegler listed three direct ways by which the Board of Control learns of student opinions right now. They are through the school administration, the Black and Redy and pastoral conferences.

He noted that student opinions are relayed by their pastors and congregational laymen.

Approximately 25% of our student body is represented directly by their fathers at these conventions, since they are pastors’ sons. Through these three sources and through direct contact, the Board does hear and know student opinion. However, as one member stated, “the student often lacks objectivity in his judgment and is inclined to evaluate certain matters from a rather personal, selfish viewpoint.” Another mem­ ber also pointed out that the Board will not be coerced by student pressure and opinion as he stated, “. . . but I refuse to be stamp­ eded by a herd of mustangs which is just beginning to feel its oats.” The Board real­ izes that it is responsible to the Synod for NWC and not to the students and that stu­ dent opinion cannot run a school. How­ ever, they are always open to suggestions and ideas if they are presented in a proper and correct spirit.

Additional comments by the men were usually favorable regarding student life and the curriculum. However, one member did say that after an observation of Wartburg Hall, he felt that its residents were, “not demanding with sufficient insistence, that every individual respect the right of the residents of that dormitory to quiet and an oportunity for undisturbed study.” An­ other member pointed to the excellent mon­ itor system in East Hall. Several members felt that the new curriculum would also be another step in improving the education offered at Northwestern. Pastor Siegler best summarized the sentiment which seemed to come from all the members when he slated, “I am highly impressed by the young pastors of our Synod. They show devotion to God’s Word and ability to work with the original texts. 1 believe that the curriculum at NWC is fulfilling the aims and objectives that our Synod has for NWC.”

The members of the Board felt the Black and Red was a definite asset to NWC. Some comments made were: . material appearing in the B & R shows promise of valuable service for the church in years to come.” . . the last few issues have been the best in many years.” “This past year it was a pleasure to read the Black and Red.” “. . . an excellent outlet for student talent. .

The Board members expressed a definite satisfaction with the Black and Red. However, one member sounded a note of warning against, “the danger of poison­ ing the student body with so-called ‘popu­ lar opinion’ on matters of policy and prac­ 244

Welcome to the final issue of volume 74, in which I’m supposed to make a lastditch effort to appease you. It’s kind of comforting to know that next month you’ll get to fill someone else’s mailbox with de­ famatory comments.

The calendar for the remainder of the school year looks something like this: April 18 — Paul Fetzer returns from East­ er vacation modelling the latest fashion “hot pants” April 19 — Hot pants are banned from din­ ing hall and library April 21 — First day of Arbor Day April 28 — Bowling trophies redistributed — investigation reveals Duraclean’s team did not always smell “flower fresh” while kegling May 3 — Student demonstration — demand for more tests May 12 — Lloyd Lemke’s library ransacked — $25,000 damages reported May 20 -- The construction worker on the new gym walks out, demanding a twohour work day May 26 — Arbor Day enters its sixth straight week by popular request June 1 — Last day of winter in Watertown June 3 — Forty-eight bristly Seniors receive the coveted sheepskin

NOTE: It has been broughi <:o my attention that Joel B. SchroeeV, had his name legally changed last week aber Q. Losis.

In keeping with the .corical nature of our campus, I have a ; *ited back volumes of the B&ff and discc.ered words im­ mortally engraved in their pages by several members of our faculty Prof. Panning wrote such ditties as these in the C&C’s volume 56: “Westendorf* complains that lately his classroom visits with Morpheus have been disturbed by nightmares. The other day he practically fell out of his seat trying to push his opponent over a ledge.” (’"-Apparently indicates that Tom Westendorf is merely following the precedent set ^y ^is namesake), The melancholy days have come, The saddest in our annals; It’s far too cold for BVD’s And far too hot for flannels.

Another Panning poem goes: Spring has sprung; The grass has rizI wonder where the birdies is.

Fall has fell; The grass is frizI wonder where the birdies is.

246

I Volume 54 found Prof. Spaude giving this definition: “A translation is like a woman. When she’s beautiful, she’s sometimes not faithful.

When she’s faithful, she’s sometimes not beautiful.”

Or try this Spaudeism: O fortunate man, who In this troubled world of today Can find tobacey to chew And still leave the butts lay.

Maybe our dean will remember when Spau­ de wrote: Chworowsky and Seger Are a terrific pair.

Whatever they do Raises the hair.

Dining hall and dorm Night and day.

They do many things That ain’t all hay.

But they’re swell fellows Just feeling their oats, Yep, they’re swell kids.

But who likes goats.

Prof. Sri!nows Volume 52 production included: “New p ■ umes that have made a hit with the bo \ •: • .1' . log in a Pool Room Im.-burger No. 4Vi Snafu “Professor- Translate — Leges Romanae bonae surit. Student: The legs of the Ro­ mans are bony.”

A sample of his poetry: If the price on books increases And more Profs start changing texts, Our summer’s earnings will be shot to pieces By the end of this month or the next.

Result of Prof. Sellnow’s poll in the February 1949 issue: “One out of a 100 greases 10 hours a day, 2 out of a 100 grease 5 hours a day — the rest are hu­ man.”

As I was browsing through Vol. 37, I came across this bit of wisdom from an article entitled “Linguistica” by President Toppe: . . it is a simple matter to persuade yourself to drop a subject when you alone

are taking it up. But to convince a pro­ fessor that he has no business teaching it to you, and that it is not pedagogically wrong, is often a Sisyphean task even if it is often to your interest to continue.

Take my advice. Don’t look for even a smattering of a foreign language, if you have no more reason to study it than I have. Rather open that Xenophon of yours and read a few pages next Sunday afternoon as a more profitable means to waste your time.”

Continuing to scrounge for material, I tried to avoid the volumes before 1930 be­ cause the pages were all yellow.

A professional researcher has discover­ ed the significance of the word “grease.” It seems that the term developed its NWC connotation from the practice of students returning from the dining hall and imme­ diately beginning to study.

Yet another heavy loss has been inflict­ ed on the campus landscape as the old maple tree in front of the new gym has bitten the dust. Our tribute: O tree, you groovy stick o' wood, Not long ago you were a tv i But now the lumberjacks h come; Your tow’ring trunk’s no lor-big.

They took the ax and chop;; :al hard; The boughs came toppling e ground.

The buzz saw hummed and ?d in bits Big chunks of log with loud resound.

No more your shadow blocs:, the sun; Today your bark is only pulp.

The paper they’ll make from your limbs We’ll write semester tests on — gulp!

Your leaves we’ll never see again, Nor will we rest against your trunk.

All good things must come to an end, and most of the not-so-good stuff, too, in which category these ramblings fit. Eight of these things is enough for anyone to write if he wants to be on talking terms with at least a few people at the end of his tour of duty. With appropriate fare­ wells, I do hereby and forever hand over this column to my immediate and distant successors.

PROGRESSIVELY FIRST

What cmi I say about a revered foot­ ball coach who’s hung up his whistle for the last time? That he used to block for Red Grange? Maybe I should just say that he loved his men, each and every one of them, both the stars and the lowly bench jockeys.

Any fan or alumnus of NWC will immediately recognize the opening paragraph as an attempt to capture a part of the man who has become a living legend at NWC and in Wisconsin football. The man is Len Umnus, who recently announced that he will hand over his position as head football coach to Coach Lloyd Thompson.

Coach Umnus will continue to help out in the football program, will retain his post as athletic director, and will continue to coach Prep wrestling and baseball. But the 249

blue windbreaker will not be seen roaming the sidelines like a tough cop on his beat.

The right hand will no longer rest on his left elbow or run through his non-existent crop of hair as he tries to decide on his next substitution. The hilarious but effec­ tive mimic will no longer give sheepish linemen instant replays of their blocking “prowess.” And perhaps the practice field’s customary noise level will drop a few deci­ bels next season.

The Coach is a devoted Christian. He attends church and Bible class regularly.

In lectures to his team, he often talks to his players about the only superman who ever lived, Jesus Christ. He tells his team that their primary duty is to study hard, so that they can become faithful and effec­ tive proclaimers of the Gospel.

Any boy who has played under the Coach would be able to supply you with a healthy portion of Umnus philosophy. The hard work mentioned above is foreshadow­ ed and prepared for by hard work and total effort on the gridiron (“When you play, play!”). Injuries are all Ir.e eliminated by what Lombardi once refenv 1:0 as mental toughness. Hard practice .

1 necessarily precede a good effort on ‘ erday. Water is not an essential require re i: of a human body which may be pejv mg profusely between 3:15 and 6:00 on : afternoons.

When there is no self-gene, -vd team spir­ it, the job of the coach > comes sheer drudgery and the team is already beaten.

When talking of team spirit. Coach Um­ nus often discussed the yellow streak which can be found in every man. Some keep it as fine as a silk thread, and observers can hardly notice it. Some allow it to grow un­ til it covers their whole back and is obvi­ ous to everyone else. The picture is as effective in inspiring men as it is striking.

Another idea which the Coach liked to use was just as effective. When the Trojans were scheduled to meet an almost unbeat­ able opponent, the Coach would dryly re­ mind his players that the other team was also composed of boys who put on their pants, one leg at a time.

Coach Umnus probably could have done as well in other fields, because he has the talent of handling men. Some players could motivate themselves, and those the Coach left alone. Others needed an occasional kick in the posterior, and the Coach rarely left them wanting. He also 250

was flexible to change with the times. As new offensive and defensive concepts prov­ ed their strategic advantages, they were added to the arsenal of the adaptable men­ tor. Some even were daring enough to state that the Coach had mellowed in his later years of coaching.

The man has bequeathed a well-kept football field and a well-run organization to his successor. Let’s also hope that a large portion of the spirit and dedication of Len Umnus is passed on to NWC and to the future NWC athletes.

Schultz Named to All- Gateway Squad Roger Schultz, a junior from Mayville, has added another honor to his already crowded trophy case. Schultz was recently named as a guard on the Gateway All-Con­ ference Basketball Team. Because of a close race, there were six men chosen, but Schultz was one of the four named to a full berth Scbw ad our Trojans in scoring this season . > an average of 15 points per game. ' a’ayed the first part of the seaon wit; -• gging shoulder separation ac­ quiree: football season. For this rea­ son h: apshot did not regain its old ac­ curacy ' later in the season. Schultz’s finest avsets on the hardcourt are quickness on defense, the ability to drive to the bas­ ket and get points or draw fouls, and sup­ erior jumping ability, which enables him to get many more rebounds than an aver­ age guard.

EDITORIALS Unjust Criticism T n the past a criticism of the Black and * Red had been that only staff contribu­ tions were published. Before I became a member of the staff, I had also believed this. While on the staff in the past two years, I discovered that the majority of non-staff contributions are printed. Among the small number of articles which are omitted one is able to find a lot of good, thoughtful work; however, to be quite blunt, a few did not present a correct view of student thought. Not everything which we hand in for a class assignment receives an excellent rating. Now, this last state­ ment is not meant to say ib -: ihe Black and Red is a collection of the ; cellent. No, the Black and Red is only . first step in achieving excellence. Th hurch is in need of writers of whole . literature. If our students forget their f ang-ups and laziness and work at tlicL : ng, the min­ istry and the Church cav icatly benefit in an era of “God is dead'. ature among the generations entering twenty-first century.

ow would you like to have saved for six or seven years to buy a new car and finally when you purchased it, you couldn’t afford to put any gas in it? This is what may happen to NWC. After many years of careful planning and study we are finally getting a new gym, a music hall, and a complete revision of the curriculum and suddenly our budget is cut! It’s just like getting that new car and having to let it sit in the garage because you can’t afford gas. The recession-inflation squeeze which has hit businesses throughout the country is now hitting our church body. It was re­ cently announced that there would be a 15% cut back in the funds allowed for all Synod educational facilities. This meant that NWC’s entire-budget had to be revamp252

ed to accommodate this cut. This will mean a slowing down and maybe even a halt to the implementation of our new facilities and curriculum to their fullest as had been planned.

We might say, “So what?” This will affect each one of us individually. It may mean that the physical education program which had been planned for us will have to be cut to a bare minimum. The new piano practice rooms and chorus rooms may not be ready or built as planned. The long awaited change in the curriculum which will aid us all in advancing our edu­ cation will be slow in coming because of a lack of funds for more man power.

This should not happen! Let’s keep Northwestern College before the eyes of the members of our synod as a growing preministerial school that cannot afford to be caught in an inflation-recession squeeze.

For here the future shepherds of the church are being trained. Should we cut back on the training of the future proclaimers of the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ?
