Satisfaction Guaranteed Flowers bloom, birds sing, trees blossom, the grass greens, spring rains revitalize the earth. The land is again ready to produce its crops. This change of seasons is truly a wonder to behold. In spring we see the hand of an Almighty God transforming the dead of winter into the vitality and freshness of spring.

By viewing these changes, we remember the grace and mercy of our loving God, a God who daily and richly provides for every single need.

"The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time" (Psalm 145:15).

The spring season not only reminds us exactly who supplies us with our daily bread, but also proclaims the greatness and power of the LORD. We can pray confidently in faith, "Give us today our daily bread," knowing he will furnish us with all we need. God's love is so deep that it compels him to provide for his whole creation. The blessings we have received truly abound, and we often take these blessings for granted. Let us always remember to praise and thank God for his providence.

"You open your hand, and satisfy the desires of every living thing" (Psalm 145:16).

We must all confess that we are better off than we deserve. Our sins condemn us; nevertheless, God in his abundant mercy still satisfies our every need.

What a gracious God we have! We enjoy a special love and care from the LORD and the satisfaction he provides is guaranteed. Surely we realize this in the physical blessings God provides, but we also are promised eternal life through Christ, real satisfaction guaranteed.

Spring also means the end of another semester is fast approaching, and as we leave school for the summer of work or travel, I pray that we do not forget the blessings we have or from whom they come. God has provided for us physically and spiritually, and we can be certain of his promises. He truly does supply us with satisfaction guaranteed. â–

Goodbye Tutor Jon Hein ,

T

The month of May is an exciting one for most on a college campus. For some students it simply means summer jobs and a vacation from the books. For some professors it means a vacation from the students. For many seniors it means graduation, and on our campus this normally means preparations for attending the Seminary. And for one man on our campus it means a new job. Tutor Ross Stelljes has served his two year call at Northwestern. Since the '89-'90 school year Tutor Stelljes has taught Greek to a section of freshmen, served as an assistant basketball coach and an assistant football coach, and efficiently carried out all the duties which are involved with being a tutor. But after this year, he will be assigned a new call. As can be expected, this is met with the mixed emotions of sadness for leaving the friends he's made here for excitement to serve the Lord somewhere else.

This can be easily seen in my interview with Tutor. The only question he responded to

without having to think for five minutes was, "What will you miss most about tutoring at NWC?" His answer was simple, "The fellowship." He emphasized that this not only included fellowship with the other tutors and teachers, but the students as well. His love for his job could also be seen when I asked him what he would miss least about tutoring at NWC, and the only thing he could think of was "Duuuuhhh... opening doors for people who've locked themselves out of their rooms."

Tutor Stelljes not only enjoyed his stay as tutor, he feels he benefited from it, especially the teaching aspect. He feels due to a lack of teaching experience he originally had some "anxiety" about that aspect of his tutor call.

He said, "The teaching experience has helped me a lot.

Just being in front of a classroom has done a lot for me." |n the interview Tutor also mentioned some insights he gained at NWC which he feels

So we come appreciate other people's jobs, to the real purpose of this article: especially the NWC faculty.

Ittook him awhile to think ministry is very fulfilling. I hope I of the answer, "Have a family and serve my Lord faithfully." His job left that impression." at Northwestern has proven he Tutor Stelljes's departure does will be able to carry out at least raise some questions, though. For the second part of his goals, example, "Why is it that when he _u came the new nurse came?" stuclen^s Northwestern will miss more than Tutor Stelljes' And now this year he's leaving, sense of humor.

They'll miss his and she's leaving. He insists that friendship and the fine job he's this is sheer coincidence and that done as tutor over the past two his relationship to the nurse is years.

They also wish him God's strictly platonic, but this still leaves one unmarried, soon-to-be blessing as he continues service in His Kingdom.

Marathon Memoirs Nate Strutz

I

I debated for a long time whether or not I would write this article and submit it. I thought that many people would find it too egotistical of me to write about myself and make everyone else read it, so if you don't want to read this, don't.

Once I started, I really struggled with where to begin and what to include.

Should I begin with my first high school track race as a freshman, five years ago? Maybe I should start after the Chicago Marathon last October? But in the interest of time and regional dimensions in space, I have decided to begin at the starting line and have you run the Boston Marathon with me.

Maybe with a little luck and a lot of running, it's something you may shoot for as a way to alleviate those NWC blues or that middle age crisis which may hit someday.

Anyway, I'm lined up at the starting line and my nervousness cannot be measured on any scale. The minutes pass by very slowly, 11:45,11:45:30,11:46, 11:47 ... I think back over the last four months and all the times I went out and ran at 2:30 after my inspiring Hermann und Dorothea class, even if it was below zero or worse. I remember the rigid, but successful schedule of long runs I followed-a unique system of two steps forward, one step back, increasing my distance for two weeks, then cutting back the next. 14, 17, 10, 20, 22, 13, 25.

26. the mileage got higher as the race date got closer. Sometimes I even took off Friday afternoon immediately after fourth hour and skipped lunch to get in

a two or three hour run. I think that for four months, since Christmas, I have rarely eaten dessert and had so few sodas that I could count them on one hand. All my sacrifices have boiled down to this moment: April 15, 1991 12:00PM, Eastern Daylight Time. I can't believe that I have lived four months of my life for a three-hour tour, but I have. And now it's payback time. I chat with a runner who starts next to me, and he tells me not to start out too quickly or the hill known as Heartbreak will surely eat me alive. I thank him for his advice and together we hear the gun go off. I can't see the starting line because I'm too far back, but I know it lies somewhere in this town of Hopkinton, a town that is sleepy and without any recgonition for 364.5 days a year, but for those few hours on the third Monday of April it is the site of convergence for the world's greatest runners. Maybe this is the prestige of the race, maybe it's the 94 years of tradition, maybe it's the fact that you had to qualify just to be permitted to run. After the gun sounds, I want to surge forward, but can't because of the mob of people. However, within a minute I make it to the starting line and in two and one half I'm moving as fast as I want to. My first mile is very slow-over nine minutes, but I know over 26 miles 385 yards I will have the time to make it up. I try to start out slowly and run under control. I have given up too much to risk burning out, or even worse, not finishing. That is really my main goal, to finish, for if I do. I'll be the first from our glorious college to do so.

Before long I meet up with this guy from

I know everyone has the day off entire lifetime. I hear faint noises in the for Patriot's Day, but there is never a spot distance and before too long I realize where there aren't people. And not just that everyone has abandoned the left spectators, but cheerleaders and side of the road where I am now running, people who want high fives and as is my custom. I glance to the right and five-year-old kids holding out glasses of a bombshell hits me. This is the famed water-dehydration won't be a problem Wellsley College, site of rejuvenation for today. Besides the official waterstops many a Boston Marathoner.

Here every two miles, someone has an hundreds, possibly thousands of unofficial one every 400 yards. 1 take the college-age girls pack the street and water and oranges for a time, but when deafen you with their cheers.

These goes on. five or so minutes alone are enough to make this run a recommended I cross the ten mile mark in 69 minutes and experience for any male. So think back 20 seconds. Three thoughts go through to what you were doing on Monday, my head as I say so long to my Madison April 15, 1991, (probably sitting in some buddy and move on. First, I realize how class you were hoping to get out of or perfect the weather is.

Secondly, for a I hit the half (13.1 miles) in 1 hour, 30 while I fear Chicago syndrome. This was minutes and some change. This is where close to my ten mile split at Chicago, the fun starts.

body have but to follow? I start to pass people constantly and I see that my miles are getting faster, three (hours) is definitely not out of the question. I pass 15 and 16 and 17 and the spectators don't stop, in fact there are more of them. Some are grilling out as they watch the runners go by, many drink beer and even offer some to the runners, and through all this, after over one thousand runners, they still cheer and go crazy and respond to requests for noise and runners who make fools of themselves. I decide to capitalize on this fettish for foolishness the fans have and I really start to go nutso. I turn around the cheer of "looking good" heard from many spectators to my own version. I select physically attractive, hopefully WELS, women spectators, point to them, and say "looking goooood." I high five at every opportunity and imitate Tim Harris' arm wave to call for noise. All this works in inciting the crowd to higher levels of noise and excitement, so I continue, adding the Spock symbol of "Live long and prosper" to my repertoire. Many spectators notice my shirt (a Packer relieving himself on Chicago) and cheer for Wisconsin.

while two small men with large hammers are taking free shots at your quads and you can tell them to stop, but if you do, ten men will come with even larger hammers. Imagine this happening the duration of that class. This is close to the feeling you have when you hit 18 miles and it dawns on you, "I still have 8 miles to go." Eight miles left, a distance most people will never run at once in their lifetimes. This is what you have left to run, your quadriceps and upper thighs violently scream at you to stop, and no one could blame you if you did, but I didn't give up naps and soda and go to bed before midnight every night (not counting weekends) for over four months to come back saying, "Sorry, the race got to me. I know I trained, but for thirty minutes I didn't feel like it." So press on I must, press onward I do. Two hills are rather long, but I am able to gain ground on them and since they hurt the back of my legs and not the front, they are almost a relief. I make it to the top of what I think is HEARTBREAK HILL (the name alone is enough to make grown, physically fit men weep), but I hear no policeman congratulating me for doing so. I fear another hill, but as I go downward and see no more hills in sight, it strikes me that that was indeed Heartbreak Hill (I recalled it from the bus tour of the course the day before).

Ahead were five miles of downhill and flats in Boston itself. It is ironic that it is called the Boston Marathon, despite going through five or six suburbs, but I feel this encourages fan support.

I go up and down the hills leading up to Heartbreak (I find them not so bad at present) and hit the twenty mile mark at 2:14—this is way out of control. I continue my barrage of passing. I now am aware that I have not mentioned pain thus far in my article. Now is probably a good time to start. Attempting to describe the pain one feels during a marathon is like telling the story behind a private joke: I hit Boston and there are even more you just gotta be there to really people. My legs beg me to stop, and understand, so if my attempt is feeble. while at times I feel like conceding, I please excuse me. Imagine your longest know I can't. I try to ignore the pain and class, you know the fifty minutes of your concentrate on how far I have gone, day that pass like four hours. Imagine compared to how much is left.

I really desire to tell him many choose to do so. I want the race to last vulgar things and remind him that we are forever, just like this--me heading down at 23 miles and my mood is not too the homestretch, ignoring the pain, pleasantly disposed at this moment. We hit a downhill, however, and I leave him feeling great, being a celebrity, enjoying running, enjoying life. I am a star, I feel like behind. I am running completely alone, not because there are no people a million dollars, no make that a billion, a around, but because I am in my own trillion.

5. Prof. Gosdeck shows his disappointment when nobody ventures to answer his question. .After reading "Profs Said It" this year it's obvious why Professor Gosdeck wins MVP honors in the quotes department along with the Hafemeister Funeral Home Player of the Year award. (A thousand dollars will be donated in his name to the CRV society in hopes that this extra money will help them in their quest to find a clue on what the "C" stands for.) He has contiually provided the Black and Red with a large quantity of quality quotes, and hopefully he'll continue providing material in his classes next year. Almost makes me wish I could take Symbolics and Philosophy all over again.

All year the poor professors have had their quotes exploited for the students' entertainment. Now for their entertainment we have some student quotes. These are the "COS Quotes," interesting things people said at the last "COS function," which I heard first-hand and would like to share with you: "l have to pay to get in?"

So ends this year's Profs Said It/COS Quotes section. One must give credit to Mike Ewart for creating Profs Said It, and hopefully this part of The Black and Red will continue through next year as long as people keep on bringing me quotes. We might even have a monthly award next school year for the student who provides the B&R with the most quotes (such as an all expenses paid weekend for two at Coach Kruse's house, meals and entertainment included.) This gives you all the more reason to stay awake in class besides that ever present thirst for knowledge.

The Christian at War WAR. "The United States and its allies went to war against Iraq early Thursday, battering Baghdad with wave after wave of fight er-bombers and cruise missiles after fruitlessly demanding for five and one half months that Iraq withdraw from Kuwait. Said Bush, 'The liberation of Kuwait has begun'" (Milwaukee Sentinel January 17, 1991), The date? January 16,1991. Things had just started to pick up speed again on the Northwestern campus. The students had finished off a relaxing Christmas vacation and were primed for another semester of good, clean homework kind of fun. Everyone was get ting good starts on those big papers due in March and April-well, maybe not. Our basketball team had run into a little trouble the previous weekend at the WELS Classic tournament, but big wins were just around the corner.

The date? January 16, 1991. The time? Five thirty in the evening. I turned on the television, fooled with the antenna and finally got Tom Brokaw on the screen. The deadline of April 15 had passed, yet all was quiet. The time? Five thirty-five on the evening of the 16th. Brokaw looked away. Something big had come down. The correspondent in Baghdad took over. Tracers. Flashes.

Explosions. War. I raced downstairs to the basement and turned on CNN. There I sat until nearly two in the morning, glued to the sights and sounds of Desert Storm.

It was war... for me, a new experience ... for many of you, perhaps too familiar. It quickly struck me, though, that war was not a new experience. In fact, it quickly struck me that it was I who was on the battle line. It was I in the fatigues. It was I under attack. I was at war, not in the war, but in THE war.

My challenge was not to dodge Scuds and evade land mines; mine was a struggle "not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the

authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Eph 6:12).

i

I was not alone in this struggle. I am not alone in this struggle. I see to my left the 32 other members of my senior class. I see President Voss. I see Professor Dose. I see my mom and my dad and my brother and my sisters and you and you and you. And why are we fighting? We are fighting because Christ won a victory. We are fighting because Christ died and defeated the powers of sin, death and the devil. Ironic, isn't it. But true. If Christ hadn't died, we would have had nothing to fight against and, of course, nothing to fight for.

There would have been only one army-marching straight to hell, sure-but only one army.

But Christ did die, and Christ did make each of us his child in baptism. Heaven is ours. And for that reason we now are fighting. What are we fighting against? Not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil.

Satan knows he's lost, but that doesn't mean he's conceding my soul to God. That doesn't mean he's conceding your soul to God. By no means. He attacks. He counterattacks. And how are we doing in this heated battle?

We are Christians, aren't we, and yet I would guess that if God had his own Milwaukee Sentinel, with the headline SPIRITUAL WAR,... I would guess that very likely it would have lists both of battles won . . . and of battles lost. I wonder where my battles have fit in for the last four years.

Or do I even wonder... no, I guess I don't wonder. I know. When Satan and 5 I have gone head to head, I haven't done too well. I'm afraid the same is the case with my 32 friends, with our president and professors, and with you.

But isn't Christ on our side? Isn't he the commanding general? How can we lose? We only lose the battle when we try to make the battle our own, and how often don't we make our battles with Satan our own. We are just like Peter. We boldly confess, "Lord, you know I will never forsake you," and suddenly we go off on our own and feel we can plunge headlong into: J temptation. Don't worry; we can handle it-and we fall. In the four years we've been here, seniors, how many times haven't we said, "Lord, you know I will never forsake you—I'll be with you to the end," and then we proceed to plunge headlong into temptation ... we can handle it . . . only to crash headfirst into sin. Would you care to reminisce? Would you care to reminisce about our four years here? It wouldn't necessarily be the pleasant memories that would come to mind. It would be those dark hours of our lives, those hours when we ventured into Satan's camp, and made the battle our own battle, and succumbed to temptation and sinned. Would you care to reminisce? We all say, "Lord, you know we will never forsake you." We make

the battle our own, and we stray into temptation ... we can handle it.. . and we fall-whether last year, last month, last week, yesterday or today.

Reminisce. Reminisce. Reminisce. "The spirit is willing, but the body is weak" (Mt 26:41). "For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. . . . What a wretched man I ami Who will rescue me from this body of death" (Rom 7:19, 24)?

The headline reads war, and the defeat column stretches on. And whose names are in the defeat column? Is the name of Christ there? No. The names are our own, and that is the problem, isn't it. The battles are lost only when we make the battles our own. We forget who won the big battle over sin and death in the first place and for some reason believe we can take care of these minor conflicts on our own. People of God, the Christian's ongoing battle against sin and the power of the devil, yes, the mother of all battles, is won only when we make that ongoing battle Christ's as well. Heaven is ours--that is most certainly true. However, temptation still assaults. The world still allures. Our flesh still falters. We must confess, "Lord, I know you've defeated Satan, but Lord, I know I can still forsake you--please defend me from all evil and guard me against every danger. When temptation comes, Lord, you take over." And he has. And he does. And he will. By virtue of his victory over the powers of darkness, he has assembled an impressive array of weapons which will defend us in our daily struggle against the old man.

"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds" (II Cor 10:4). "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes" (Eph 6:11).

r

What are these divine weapons which will defend us against the attacks of Satan? What is the full armor which will preserve us to our end? Paul leaves no question. "Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Eph 6:17). How many times haven't we heard pastors say, "Stick close to the Word." "Get into the Word." "Read your Bible." "Don't neglect the preaching of God's Word." "Go to chapel." "Read your devotions." "Come to Bible class." "Study your Bible." We say, "Why? I know what it says. I know I'm a bad person and that I'm going to heaven because Christ died for me. What more do I need? Oh, so you think I just need to hear that Christ died for me a lot of times so I don't forget it? Don't worry. I've got a good memory." I've thought the very same thing, one too many times--or maybe 100 too many times--and 100 too many times I've missed the whole point. Maybe you can see why now. Yes, you do know you're going to heaven, but the word of God is not just here to tell you that. Yes, Christ's

victory over Satan is won, but we are still at war-and we will be until we die.

In this war, the word of God is your primary weapon of defense. In fact, it's your only defense. So what if you neglect God's word? Is it because Satan has stopped attacking you? Has the war between your old man and new man ended? Are you coasting into heaven? If we believe that we are not at war-that we no longer need to fortify ourselves against the forces of evil-then Satan has won. If we believe that we are at war, and we ARE AT WAR, then the word of God takes on a whole new hue. Yes, the Bible tells me Jesus loves me. Yes, the Bible assures me that heaven is my home. But, fellow soldiers of the cross, only a constant submersion in the words of God himself will allow me to persevere, to fend off the attacks and temptations of Satan in time, so that I can indeed share in the promises God's word offers for eternity.

We are at war. Thanks be to God, we have the victory. "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to Godl He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." We have the victory, yet we are still at war. We must still fight daily battles against the devil, the world and our sinful flesh. Let us not succumb by making our battles our own. Let us triumph by making our battles the battles of Christ. He alone supplies victory as he fortifies us through his almighty word. By God's grace the Apostle Paul was fortified in time with the saving message of God's almighty word. Paul, being near death, looked back on his spiritual struggle, a struggle many of us are just beginning. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing" (II Tim 4:7-8). We long for his appearing. Let us fight the good fight of faith.

Commencement Oration: Humanities Gregg Bitter

Classical Education: Trainer of the Mind Just about every day of our lives we see pictures of professional athletes or hear the play by play reporting of their games. Television and radio bring the action of a baseball or football game right into our own homes, and newspapers and magazines fill us in on all the action we miss both on and off the field. These athletes, who are so prominent in our society, must train both to attain their level of skill and to maintain it at that high level. As students we also train. Unlike the professional athletes we have not yet reached the peak of our performance so that our training takes on a greater sense of significance. Furthermore our training as students obviously differs in nature from that of professional athletes. The athlete's training focuses primarily on the body; the student's training focuses on the mind. Since the focus of each differs, the tools each training program uses will differ. One of the best tools for training students is a classical education. Northwestern College has used the tool of classical education to train the minds of us students so that we will be better able to serve as pastors some day.

What is involved in a classical education? At Northwestern College the rooJ of classical education lies in the Greek and Latin. Yet a classical education includes more than the study of the languages of Greece and Rome. It includes studying their literature, philosophy and culture. Therefore the heritage of Greece and Rome in all its facets forms the substance of a classical education.

How does classical education train the mind? First of all it sharpens our minds in skills useful for life and for the ministry. One way in which it sharpens the mind is by teaching us to pay careful attention to details. From the first day in Greek class, we saw that details were very important. The minor detail of the placement of an accent mark could change the meaning of a word.

A pastor too must learn to pay attention to details. If a bulletin contains

mistakes for example in spelling, it reflects detrimentally on the pastor and on the ministry.

i

More important than attention to outward detail, a classical education teaches the mind how to analyze a problem and then synthesize a solution.

Each day for Greek class we were faced with a sentence to translate. We would begin by breaking down the sentence to see the role each word played. Next we would have to put it back together so that each part would fit where it should and the sentence would make sense. When we are pastors, members will present us with many problems such as marital difficulties or questions on doctrine. To deal with these problems we will have to break them down into the different components and try to synthesize the best way to apply God's Word in the solution. Although the subject matter is quite different than a Greek sentence, the mental skills of analysis and synthesis carry over.

Thirdly a classical education trains the mind to distinguish between similar thoughts and to choose the right word to express the thought which is intended. Translating forced us to try to match the idea, as expressed in the Greek or Latin, with the word in English which best conveyed it. The ability to express exactly what one means will be very important for us as pastors.

In sermons and in Bible classes we will need to explain words like "vicarious atonement", "faith" and "sanctification". Unless we as pastors carefully translate the ideas behind these words into understandable language, the congregation will form misconceptions about what it means to be a Christian. Precision in expressing ideas is a very important skill of the mind to learn.

A classical education not only teaches mental skills but it also broadens the mind by introducing us to the thoughts of people and to the forces which shaped our culture. In the past two thousand years people have not changed in many of their basic attitudes. For instance, a classical education shows that people are searching for something beyond themselves, searching for something eternal. Plato tried to find it in his theory of the forms.

The common people looked to their gods and mythology hoping to find something eternal.

No matter where the people looked, they could not go beyond mortal man.

Plato's theory of the forms was replaced by other theories which in turn where replaced by others. The answer was not in the forms. What about the gods of the common people? They did not exist either. But even if they had, the people considered them as nothing more than glorified humans

who were more powerful than normal. So we see that the Greeks could not go beyond man no matter what they tried. In fact they concluded that "man is the measure of everything."

As pastors we can put this information about people to good use. When we are aware of the people's search for something eternal, we can be ready to fill It with the news of the eternal God who sent Jesus to save us so that we might live eternally with him. Yet we will have to be on guard against people trying to fill their need by looking to themselves or by making God fit their image of him. In this way a classical education shows us opportunities to win people for Christ and warns us of possible set backs.

Finally a classical education teaches us about the culture and society we live in. Although Greek and Roman culture flourished many centuries ago, our culture is still strongly influenced by it. Our culture has descended directly from Greece and Rome so that if we want to understand it better we can look at its origin. The influence of Greece and Rome on our culture is so vast that I will briefly mention only three ways the influence is apparent. First, our language contains numerous words derived from Latin or Greek. Second, our form of government comes from the democracy of Athens and the republic of Rome.

Third, much of the architecture, especially in governmental buildings, uses Greek columns and Roman domes. A knowledge of Greek and Roman culture will indeed tell us about our own culture.

As pastors we will need to know our culture. A large part of a pastor's work involves applying biblical truths to the times we live in. A classical education gives us the basis to know our times by showing us its roots.

The classical education Northwestern College has given us has started training our minds. It teaches us how to pay attention to details, how to analyze and synthesize and how to think precisely. A classical education broadens our minds to help us consider how unregenerate man thinks and to help us know our culture and society. Yet we have just begun our training. During the coming years at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, we will continue to develop these skills and to apply them to the future work of the ministry. Even after that we will continue to develop and practice these skills in whatever calling God gives us. Thanks to our ciassical education we have now begun to advance in the training of our minds for life and for the ministry. !

The Senior Class

i

has enjoyed the Watertown night life thoroughly by working at Gast and brawling at Lee’s. This MLPS grad’s friends have enjoyed his family’s hospitality often after their move to New Ulm. Paul has spent the last year with his roommate honing his Greek and Hebrew skills to a fine edge. After he returns from Alaska this summer smelling of salmon, he’ll load his Listerine into the Big Red and take his weak stomach to Sem.

Paul Baur began his years at NWC minus one appendix and with several sordid relationships with females. However, he’s spent the last three years wrapped around the finger of a certain southern belle. When Pool Bowa wasn’t on his power trip as a COS enforcer this lastyear, he could be found in the TV room with Martin Wegner having a smoky treat or three. Paul also became an AT&T preferred customer the last several years and has built up a ton of frequent flier miles. Baur Whenever things are getting tense on the Northwestern campus, you can always count on 1; Gregg "the original Party Animal" Bitter to liven things |j up.

lounge diligently studying. The Forvm (no the V is not a misprint) and the various sports teams that Gregg has managed will miss him greatly. Nextyear Gregg packs up his pens, paper and Commodore 64 and moves to Mequon.

While only half the size of the last Georgian to attend Northwestern, Dave Blaho is a little fire ball. Few can understand why Dave wasted his basketball talents on the intramural level as he dribbled circles around even the quickest opponents. Ifyou ever have a fit

ofinsomnia, walk by Dave’s room any time of the day and you’ll be sure to see him curled up on his bed. It’s enough to make anyone want to crawl into bed and sleep through the winter. Dave plans to tote his hefty frame up to Mequon in the fall.

Bradley "Sixto" Bode came to NWC outofthe projects ofPrairie du Chien. Developing a ravage style of play on the basketball and volleyball courts, Brad has used his skeleton frame and Afro hair to propel him to the top.

With fame comes loneliness; therefore he must attempt to share his roommate’s girlfriend.

While not in sports Brad enjoys participating in Duraclean, Jazz Band and Hebrew tutoring. Prof.

Eickmann has taken young Brad under his wing to prepare him for succession as Hebrew prof, although he’ll probably have to get rid of the Kristen Schaser-look ifhe is to command respect. In order to gain that respect, Brad has taken on the task of being the enforcer over the sophomores, giving weekly beatings to the cocky ones. Brad will pack up his three pairs of sweats and head to Sem next fall.

1991

The Senior Class Virtually every class which goes through NWC has a "Mr. Forvm," and farmer boy Jeff Bonack has been that for the class of ’91.

During the past years, Jeff has been involved, either in directing or acting, in almost every Forum production. With all this contact

with the theatrical women, it seems only natural that he is engaged to a girl who has acted in Forvm productions. Jeff will be spending the first half of next year in the Sem dorm until the wedding.

Another fine product from Kettle Moraine, Donn "Juan" Dobberstein, came to NWC determined not to become another lonely guy. Well, Donn overdid it. If this statement has piqued your interest, just ask Dubby and he can tell ya’ later.

Besides running form a commitment for four years, Donn also did his share of sprinting in

soccer and track. Always ready with a quick comeback, it’s been rumored that Donn and Bobo spent entire nights trying to find the universal comeback. We are pleased to say that Donn has shown he is a new man, ready to settle down and head to Sem in the fall—if he can find his luggage, that is.

Scarcely able to believe his own eyes, Doler the Bowler (a.k.a.

Paul Doletzky), is a vision to behold. The "Dole-meister" is often found giving lessons in pumping iron to anyone who happens to get in his way. Being an RA of Biblical proportions,

"Dole-a-lole-a-ding-dong" is often found grinding seeps’ faces into the pavement who have dared to invade our hallowed halls.

"Doler-ini" will flex his biceps as he lugs his bowling ball over to Sem this fall.

It would be safe to say that Michael Ewart has been a ladies’ man. The problem is determining what has attracted the attention of so many women to Mike. Perhaps it has been the respect he has commanded while roaming the basketball and football sidelines as trainer. Or maybe it has been his golden voice, which he has used as a

member of the quartet. It’s even possible that it might be his muscular physique, which he has spent hours in the weight room building. Whatever the reason might be, Mike has always been observed surrounded by hordes of women. Yet, Mike will be attending Sem next fall a single man, although he has many "friends" atDMLC.

!

The Senior Class This man will probably be best remembered as the wandering monk of the senior class. Paul Fanning came to Northwestern from Lakeside Lutheran and has devoted much of his time and talent to the Northwestern stage through his involvement in Forvm. Paul also helped to lead

the Tae Kwon Do class, and this past year he could be seen almost every afternoon working in the library. Somehow Paul still found time for members of the opposite persuasion. Paul, having packed his monk robe, is looking forward to taking A1 Gawel’s place at Sem next fall.

Jim Fleming has spent nearly a century on the Northwestern campus, interrupted by a one-year sabbatical at WLC. Jim’s last year on campus has been very hectic, since he is managing his own business on the side. If you are looking for a new deck or sauna, he is the man

to go to. Just look for the guy with the crooked flat top who likes pulling on his moustache. Jim says he is looking forward to Sem, mainly because there are more dance clubs and also because he will be closer to his special friend atWLC.

For his first three years on campus Steve "McGeiger" Geiger "Counter’’ stayed in the background. Sure, he was involved in choir, band, soccer, and baseball. And for the sports he wasn’t in, basketball and football, he kept stats. Evidently, though, Steve was sick ofbeing a commoner. Besides being D.C. Prez, Jazz Band director, and Tour Choir president, he also held the highly coveted and

powerful position ofB&R editor.

Steve has been on a power trip this year, wielding his power in a dictatorial manner. It’s a good thing he doesn’t have a girlfriend, or he would be unbearable to live with (although there might be changes after this last choir tour). Stripped ofall his power, Steve and his many talents will leave to head to Sem next fall.

i

Erik "E-E-E-E" Hansen has become a key figure on second floor. With his sharp tongue E. has kept the housephone, hall, and bubbler noises to a minimum. Mr. Materialistic has purchased many items over his four years in order to gain friends, most recently a 26" TV. Erik’s philosophy says, "TV=friends. No TV=No friends."

Being an Air Jordan fanatic, Big E excelled on the court freshman year. During the off season,

I

; however, he developed a spare tire and decided to turn to IM hoops. Chung E enjoys his evenings watching Bruce Lee movies or sitting back memorizing REM songs. E. can be found running double feature movies in his room daily in hopes ofattracting new close personal friends. Erik’s future plans include smuggling a few Bethesda residences to Texas to open up his own branch.

The Senior Class Two years ago, Wittenberg received into it’s midst the latest candidate from Wartburg— College that is. In Will Kant’s two years here, he has had to put up with countless tastelessjokes about his name (such as, ’Well, he can now!" or "Won’t Can." or "Maybe he can’t (Kant) but he’ll sure try!" etc.). But thanks to Will’s jovial sense of humor, he

has always taken suchjokes well.

In fact, ifyou ever hear a newjoke and don’t know ifit’s a good one, bounce it offWill; ifit comeshack with a couple chuckles, you’re guaranteed it’s a side-splitter. In the fall, Will hopes to pack his three I.M. Champion T-shirts (no small feat for a mere two years’ work) and head for Mequon.

Jon "Cakes" Kehren has filled the role of Prep R.A. during his last two years at NWC. Although applying for third floor duties, Jon has been kept down on the first floor ofAugsburg during his illustrious career. Apart from his job, Cakes has been an organist

and football player all four years and has seen reasonable playing time at both positions. Other than that, Jon spent his time imitating Bobo and going on joy rides in his Grand Am. Jon’s future plans include going to Sem and imitating Dubby.

A KML grad, Phil Kieselhorst arrived on campus four years ago with this area Lutheran high school hair cut, green tennies and green cords.

Flippy and his fiance^ have entertained his friends for all four years with their stormy relationship and will begin to live happily ever after next year.

While he wasn’t making scenes and parties, he could be found behind his drum set or behind the wheel as a designated driver.

Skipp/s prowess was seen on the

court, on the soccer and baseball fields and also in the classroom, when he wasn’t taking U-bangers. When Toast wasn’t ferrying children around on his magic bus or worrying about which prep his youngest sister was dating, he could be found keeping his room clean. Next year Baby Face will load up his Marilyn Monroe picture collection and take it to Mequon, where he’ll be supported by his fiance^.

Dan Koeller, the WISCO kid, has been traversing these hallowed halls for five years.

During those years, Dan has been involved in soccer, choir, and the RW, B & R. As a fashion conscious sort ofguy, Dan also put his talents to I use as the Forvm costume H

VJ

1991

manager. Yet, he will probably be best remembered as the "guitar man" by the Jesus Cares kids (especially Mary). Dan, a native ofMil waukee, gets to move a little closer to home as he heads for Sem next fall.

; i;

The Senior Class DaveMalchow (mal-chow or mal-cow?) is one of the two married seniors on campus. Dave and his wife Becky, both from Arizona, have had to make an adjustment to our Wisconsin climate, but together they have somehow managed. Dave, another of our Sem certification guys, previously attended the

University of Arizona where he majored in political science.

Besides spending time at his studies and with his wife, Dave also worked part-time at Bethesda. This summer Dave and Becky will be loadingup their truck and heading to the city by the lake.

Most people grow out of theit grade school dressing habits, but not Steve "Rhesus" Melso. As far as Steve is concerned, the ’70s were a boom in the fashion industry. Actually Melz also prefers this decade when it comes to cars and music too. Steve’s ’72 house on wheels has often been seen chauffeuring half the senior class to New Ulm. Steve is

affectionately referred to as "Rhesus Monkey" by his friends because of his shaved head, his ears and his habit of sleeping in the fetal position with his "cloth mother" coat. An incredibly intense competitor, Melz will be bouncing off the walls and the floor at Sem next year-except during early morning hoops games.

If you would like to ask lb Meyer where he’s from, be ready for a long and complicated story.

Of Norwegian descent, lb has called home to such far off places as Malawi and South Africa.

Although he has never lost that British accent, lb has adjusted quite well to the American life

with his American wife ofalmost two years. During his five years on campus, lb’s strong bass voice has been heard both on the soccer field and in the choir. Ib, Rachel and their one-year old son, Jacob, are looking forward to moving on to Sem next year.

Steve "Don’t call me that" Nerby has been a real "jack-of-all-trades" kind of guy during his college years. He’s done everything from ski instructor to being a role model for Watertown’s youth as a bus driver. Steve’s been heard crying himself to sleep many nights because his roomie relationships with E. Allen and Pat Brainerd didn’t work out. An extended dry spell for dating came to an end

this year for Nerdy when he was engaged to Katie Scharf... oops, that must have been Larry-we often get them confused (and so does Katie). He’ll take his bass guitar and Spanish skills south of the border this summer to play in a mariachi band. Steve, however, won’t be taking his overhanging upper lip to Sem next year, as he’ll probably be followingE. Hansen somewhere in a Kung-Fu suit.

1991

The Senior Class Joel "Doc" Otto, or "The Rodent," as he is called by his close friends, has graced the campus for seven years after a one-year trial at Wisco. Doc has been an avid fan of the UW basketball team, Brewers, and Packers (three teams going absolutely nowhere). Trying to imitate his idol, Bobby Hurley, Doc has taken the intramural basketball scene by storm with

his black-hole style ofplay from the 3-point land. A running madman, Doc has followed in the footsteps of his mentor, Johnny Moll, and participated in track and cross country. Being blind as a bat, the good doctor has developed a hunch-back style oforgan playing. Next year Doc will be dragging his weasel-like features and 6 foot 132 pound frame to Sem.

NWC is the best thing that ever happened to Joel Pankow.

LePe arrived as a headbanging, long-haired, pink-guitar having Lakeside product and is leaving a short-haired, black-guitar having stud with good musical taste. Panx Romana could be found frosh year listening to his favorite group Alcatrazz and selling cigarettes to Rude Dog down at Speedway. Joeler the Bowler has really broadened his horizons on SpringBreak the last couple years, seeing as he’d never David "D-Dog" Schleusener came to NWC from the farm in Tomah. Coach Kruse found young Dave half-buried in a pile ofkitty litter and took him under his wing. D-Dog spent his freshman year in his room never seeing the sun and practicing his crocheting. Sophomore year brought a new birth for Dave, as he stepped into the statistician and SID positions. This was his stepping stone to stardom. Since then he has written a book,

been out ofthe state of Wisconsin before that. Panx has never had any problems paying for school, because he worked hard as a janny and gave the prep heavy metal band guitar lessons. It also didn’t hurt that his dad is the business manager. Freddy’s Little Bowler will be taking his tennis racquet and cheerleading skills to Mequon next year.

However, he will have to make numerous trips back to Watertown for his mom to do his wash "whileshe’s up." edited the MNEMA, and become class president. Mr. NWC can be seen showing his school spirit by his ever-present Northwestern sweatshirts. Trying to look like his idol, Howdy Doody, D-Dog has kept up his wardrobe with western plaid shirts and Dakota plain pocketjeans (never faded).

The Senior Class "Grace under pressure" is the best way to describe Dave Schneider. How else could he be found in any room except his own the night before a big test, contemplatingsuch urgent topics as baldness, tanning techniques, the dangers of low-flying pelicans, or the proper attire and etiquette if one should ever find himself in the New Orleans

Hilton? It is true that Dave loves a good laugh, and he works hard at trying to lighten the spirits of his classmates. He also uses any means possible to lighten the spirits (or red markers) of his professors before they grade his work. It appears that Dave’s tactics have paid off, and he’ll be taking his nose-to-the-grindstone attitude and GQ fashion tastes to the Sem.

Dan Schroeder started out his Northwestern career lonely and wearing speedos. Since then he has turned into a mature boxer man, and he has also found the woman of his dreams. Dan has spent his last year at NWC cleaning the Library-Science building and also working at the

Gasthaus. When he is not doing this, Dan uses his spare time to talk to his girlfriend on the telephone, making kissy kissy noises. Dan plans on going to the Sem next year and has chosen three fine roommates to make sure he does all right, if he isn’t married by then.

Paul "Uncle Buck" Schroeder has labored eight years on the Northwestern campus. Anxiously awaiting his wedding in June, Paul has been employed by Duraclean in order to build up his savings.

Unfortunately for Paul, his wages have been garnisheed to pay off his debt owed to the canteen. Not afraid to express his opinion, Paul

A Letter of Encouragement

When I returned to school this fall I found a huge pile of mail waiting for me.

Of course, the letters were concerning The Black and Red business, but I was also informed by Ed VIcMahon that I may have already won the ten million i dollar grand prize. So I got that going for me, which is nice. Most of the letters were placed in my circular file; however, one letter particularly caught my attention. Rather than merely tell you about it, I thought I would print it for you.

Dear Reader, Many people in this world do not know me. This is unfortunate because my work is important. It is for this reason I write to you; I want you to tell others about who I am and what I have done. I am commissioning you to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. You see, my good news is the salvation for sinners. I was sent down to earth to bear the sins of all people. I lived a perfect life in your place, suffered under the hands of sinful men and died on the cross. But I was resurrected from the grave to claim my victory over sin, death and Satan. Whoever believes in me has eternal life.

But how can people believe in someone of whom they have not heard?

And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? I write to encourage those who are preparing to preach the good news to others, to request prayers for those who are serving in the ministry. The fields of the world are ripe for harvest, but the workers are few. Will you go and work for me? The preparation may be difficult and tedious, but I will always be with you to the very end of the age. I will give you what is necessary to carry out my work. My strength and spirit are with you, and I pray that I may send you into the harvest field.

Love,

Jesus

i

Lift high the cross around the world. People do need to hear the message. In Japan, in China, in Russia, in Germany, In the United States. God has opened doors for us to some of these places, and others may soon follow. But someone must preach the good news to these lost souls. Who will do the work? If not you and I, who? Pray for our missionaries who are working in these countries. Pray for those preparing to proclaim the gospel. Pray for all pastors and teachers so that God's kingdom may come. Support the work of the church with mission dollars. Many souls are being lost every day because they do not know their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Proclaim the love of Christ. Lift high the cross around the world! â&#x2013; Jon Billtz

As far as his interests go. Tutor Qualmann has quite a variety of things he enjoys doing. He says that he enjoys "sleeping tremendously, downhil skiing, basketball, softball, helping my brother on the farm, and basically just talking to people." He's a Brewers' and Bucks' fan, and follows the Packers when they win (so he only watches when they're playing the Buccaneers). His music likes include Classic Rock and (gasp) Country Western. He's an assistant soccer coach this fall and might also get involved in a spring sport.

As far as the girlfriend area goes, there is no one in the picture right now, but "I am willing to take suggestions, as long as I reserve the right to decline."

When asked for a goal that he might want to achieve during his stay at Northwestern, he replied, "I'd like to establish a relationship of mutual respect with all the students."

Hi, hello, how are you? Buenos dias, kallimera, boker tove, Guten Tag. What's that on your shirt? Pull my finger, Norml Hey, care for a mint? It's wafer thin.

Greetings, earthlings.

We're back, you're back, we're all back and, frankly, we couldn't be more excited about this.

So now lets get to It, let's cut to the chase, let's get to the gig, let's stretch out our hamstrings and lower backs, let's get off on the right foot. A good beginning is a job half done; they can send you to college but they can't make you think (that's your job, Robbie).

Now that our room condition sheets are all in, school can officially begin. If you haven't turned yours In, no problem, we're not going to worry about it.

If you are having problems figuring it out, take a look at ours.

(Don't Let the Darkness In The darkness, I feel. Is creeping in.

How easily I turn to sin.

The light Is shining through the door, But I'll be reaching forever more.

The right thing I know to do.

But does that come easily for you?

It will be hard, the road ahead.

That Is what the preacher said.

Every day I wrestle hard, Praying Jesus, my heart, will guard.

Do not let me turn away, Keep me safe, don't let me stray To always follow that shining light To stand up tall and join the fight To follow Your Word, to flee from sin To never let the darkness in.

Here We Stand The year is 1517. The date: October 31st. Martin Luther nails his ninety-five theses to the church door. The year is now 1991.

Martin Luther is no longer living, but we, the church body with his namesake, carry on the work of the LORD. Luther was God's tool. At a time when Satan's influence attacked Christianity unrelentingly, God saw to it that his gospel was brought out from the darkness of sin. We should be thankful that our gracious God has preserved the good news for us sinners, making salvation possible.

When we stop and think about what the LORD accomplished through his servant Luther we can only stand in awe of the grace and mercy of God. Still today we use Luther's Small Catechism to instruct our children. Our church body stands upon the Bible from which Luther drew his teachings. God laid down Jesus as the chief cornerstone, and through Martin Luther God built the Lutheran church. This church has survived Satan's attacks for almost 500 years behind the strength of God and these teachings.

Unfortunately, all of us are guilty of taking these blessings of the Lord for granted. Because of this apathy, we are in danger of losing everything which God has given to our church. As we sit by idly, the devil works overtime to overthrow our church and undermine the power of the gospel. However, we can use Reformation Day to remind ourselves of the great sacrifices so many people made to preserve our church and our true confessions. And not only Reformation Day, but every day we can thank God for using Luther and others to refocus the Christian church and to keep our church pure. We can be confident in God's grace and say with Luther, "Here we stand; we cannot do otherwise." â&#x2013;

Profs Said It Don Schultz Once again enough people have stayed awake long enough in class to provide a few memorable quotes for your entertainment. Here is a short quiz:

Part I. Why did he (or she) say it?

1. Prof. Plitzuweit: "You have to try a number of things before you turn forty." a) Was explaining why he used to barefoot waterski down the Rock River. b) Was explaining why he had a beard at one time.

2. Tutor Qualmann: "Just because I'm laughing doesn't mean it's funny." a) Was explaining that he not only laughs at funny things, but also at sad things, things that anger him, and not nice things. b) Moose was making animal noises in class.

3. One of the female kitchies at lunch: "Don't be shy." a) She liked the cologne Guse was wearing. b) Glende was a little hesitant to go up for seconds.

4. Prof. Birsching: "So we had chaos as far as order was concerned." a) Describing his wild and crazy younger years when he used to do wacky and nutty stuff. b) Describing the rare occurrence of Krenke with a sugar high during music class.

5. Prof. Schmidt: "I had a dream about a plane which landed on the football field and crashed into the MA. It didn't hurt the plane." a) Suggesting some new and exciting events we could arrange for future Homecomings. ; â&#x2013;

b) Explaining why he is so awake In the morning.

2. 'I don't know if I believe what I'm going to sayl" (Tutor Qualmann, amazed at what he Is about to say, excitedly prepares his class.)

3. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;After Galileo built his telescope I understand that the first thing he did was check out the wash-woman in the next house over." (Prof. Bode's historical Insight.)

4. "Think of the games you can play by Just looking at shadows." (Prof.

Gosdeck revealing how he passes the time In that library office.)

5. "You can't hit me over the head with a baseball bat or whatever the game is." (Prof. Blrschlng explaining to his music class that no matter how bored they get the game of batting the prof Is not allowed.)

All of the above are true.

That's it for the short quiz. Now we will move on to the final portion of the "Profs Said It/ the forecast. Here are a few things which I predict could possibly be said in the near future: "Mr. Stelnke, your hand is not glued to the ceiling. You may put it down now."

(Prof. Spaude will say this as Joel reaches the "3000th question answered" plateau of his academic career.)

"Mr. Pagel, you don't have to sing to me. Shoveling my driveway, raking my lawn, emptying my garbage, and painting my house are enough. (Prof.

Deutschlander will put the cap on David's extra efforts to win his favor.)

"I've had itl This snoring has got to stopl" (Prof. Dose will draw the line here.)

"Do you think they'll get mad if we don't come back?" (Prof. Sprain will say this as he enjoys the Spanish class field trip to the Hispanic area of downtown Milwaukee.)

"Boy, was that a rough trip." (Prof. Plitzuweit will say this after relating how he swam across a lake, hiked across mountains, and burrowed his way through snow drifts In order to make It to class on a day It seemed Impossible for classes to even take place because of the weather.)

That's it for this edition of the "Profs Said It." Please keep bringing the quotes.

Whoever provides the most quotes for the next "Profs Said It" will receive a year's supply of lime-aid from the cafeteria.

Greetings Readers, We would like to use our office as writers of Campus and Classroom to make a formal, written apology to those of you who didn't fancy our last article.

While our last article may have left some of you querulous, others of you were smothered with our jocularity. We would like to reexamine the function of Campus and Classroom for all. The purpose of C&C, Campus and Classroom, is to review the past month's events from the classroom and on campus from a collegiate, tongue-in-cheek point of view. Through the ages, laughter has been a fine medicine to remedy the drudgery of everyday life.

Humor can be found In all types of literature and is present in every culture, and ours' is no exception. The perceptions conveyed In our articles are not singular in origin, but mutual, as we receive countless ideas from our classmates. Our intent is not to be malevolent, but rather to alleviate the doldrum. For we ourselves have been in past issues and consider it an auspicious thing. So in conclusion, our article is but scuttlebutt, so lighten up and treat it that way. Just becuase we make light of a situation does not mean we take it lightly.

Due to popular demand, and so that all may be able to enjoy the full comedic value of the C&C, we have made a list of the alternative names of some of the students who have or who may appear in an issue of C&C, and if your name is not in here, this by no means excludes you from entering an issue.

And if you really want to enter C&C, just yell at us for something. Thanx.

November 1991

Not Magic, Tragic November 4, 1991. Doomsday for the Los Angeles Lakers and the entire sporting world. Earvin "Magic" Johnson announced his retirement from the Lakers and professional basketball because he had tested HIV-positive; he had the AIDS virus.

Magic Johnson is one of the most widely recognized celebrities in America.

Before his announcement, Magic was ranked fourth in endorsing value for advertisements. His on-court accomplishments are numerous: five NBA championships with Los Angeles, three league MVP awards, and the all-time NBA assist leader to name just a few.

Yet, while Mr. Johnson should be commended for facing his problem boldly, he should be condemned for his lifestyle which ultimately led to his condition.

Now the public is praising Magic for speaking out and promoting "safe sex."

This is no longer magic, it is downright tragic. What is missing in this whole affair is even a hint of morality. Any doctor will say that the only way to practice "safe sex" is to abstain from sexual intercourse until marriage, when there is one undefiled partner for life. In any other instance, the best one can do is to challenge God and his laws. Even a condom does not insure complete protection, only "safer sex."

The most tragic result of this ordeal is the message Mr. Johnson sends to the children he addresses. Promoting "safe sex" condones and actually encourages premarital sex. It is unfortunate that the same kids who looked upon Magic as their hero may now use Johnson's lifestyle as a model. God's laws have been ignored here, and sometimes God punishes sin in very visible ways; the AIDS virus is one of those ways.

The Bible tells us to flee from sexual immorality. We as Christians are certainly not exempt from the results of our sins. We also are to abstain from sexual Intercourse before marriage. The world's attitude toward sex and the media's bombardment of the public with sex make this a difficult task; the temptations are great. However, we have our God and his strength on our side. Through Christ we can overcome sin, the devil, the world and our flesh and stand eternally victorious in heaven with him. â&#x2013;

Profs Said It Don Schultz Here are some more quotes by our professors. Often I receive these quotes without a clue of why they were said. These are my guesses: Prof Eickmann: "What's round and Prof. Gosdeck: "I look for the jugular so fuzzy and smells like cement? A I can rip it out." (John Glerach asked teddy bear."

(Somebody asked him exciting games of video football where he could find a few sources over a couple cups of hot cocoa) for his philosophy paper) One thing we take for granted here at Northwestern is the keen insight our professors have on different subjects, such as...

SENILITY: "Senility is a wonderful thing; you make new friends everyday." (Prof.

Bode) DANCING: "Only we in the Wisconsin Synod know how many angels dance on the head of a pin, I figured it out myself. None, because Wisconsin Synod angels don't dance." (Prof. Deutschlander) HAPPINESS: "Happiness is a church council meeting... it will take at least an hour to pick out the new carpeting." (Prof. Gosdeck) POP QUIZZES: "I didn't warn you about the quiz because I didn't want you to have to study." (Prof. Sprain)

Well, as you might have heard (or most of you probably didn't), the cheerleaders for the 1991-1992 basketball season were announced. They are PTE, Gelz, Gund-on, Jobu, Clark, and Moose. But the competition was close and there were a number of people who didn't make it that deserve mention.

1. Tutor Qualmann - the only reason he didn't make it was his lack of time due to overseeing the activities of three dorms and watching Oprah.

2. Sam I am - Actually he withdrew from try-outs when he found out there were training rules.

3. Tim Glende - Holly Thomas 4. Steinke-NOT Since, once again, most of you probably didn't know, DMLC now has male cheerleaders. Whateverl What we would like to do is compare and contrast the NWC cheerleaders and the DMLC cheerleaders.

Life Through Death

!

I had lived nearly twenty-two years without experiencing the death of a close family member or friend. That all changed this year on the day before Thanksgiving when I was informed that my uncle had suddenly died. He was forty. The holiday weekend included the funeral and burial, and the shock was apparent in each family member. The gospel provided great comfort for our family as we attempted to come to grips with his death. My uncle's death gave me the opportunity to reflect on and consider many things.

I

Amazingly and graciously, God used this experience in my life.

Through my uncle's death, I was led to reflect seriously on my own life and death. I was reminded of my own mortality and the frailty of human life. I realized that my God could call me home at any time, and I was compelled to ask myself whether or not I was prepared to die. The gospel message of Christ's death and resurrection have given me a renewed spiritual life.

A death in the family was a brand new experience for me. After much reflection, I understood the parallel. Just as my uncle's death had renewed and strengthened my faith by the grace of God, we also through that same grace are given life through death--the death of our LORD Jesus Christ. Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life!" We are assured of eternal life through faith in him.

During the Christmas season we are once again renewed by the birth of the baby Jesus. We are reminded that his birth on this earth is the beginning of this work of salvation, culminating in his death and resurrection. This provides life for us-not only physical human life, which is frail, but also spiritual eternal life which will never be overcome. We can all say confidently with Paul, "Death has been swallowed up In victory. Thanks be to Godl He gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ."

What Does It Mean to Us? Steven Brockdorf After the student-faculty discussion on the Church Growth Movement a student was overheard asking, "What does it mean to us?" Perhaps the simple answer is to say that it is good to be aware of major trends in religion so that we can watch out for the pitfalls. Speaking as one who has served on our congregation's Evangelism Committee, I can say the pitfalls are not always that easy to recognize.

membership. After all, once a member he will continue to hear the pure Word of God and will grow in his sanctification. On the other hand, if he is not accepted into membership he may join another church, possibly one that teaches much false doctrine. However, he has had ample opportunity to examine our doctrine and still disagreed with it. To accept him into membership could reflect failing to stand up for the truth of God's word; ultimately, he or someone else might end up losing his faith.

It wasn't until after they were reminded of the importance of taking a stand on fellowship in Christian love that the congregation told the man he could not be accepted into membership and still embrace flase teachings.

Consider the following scenario painted for me: A small but conscientious congregation sincerely desired to see their church grow. A prospect had been attending this church for quite some time and expressed a desire to join the congregation.

He had been through the basic doctrine class and even though he strongly disagreed with our Certainly we want to make use of doctrine on several points he still every resource available to tell wanted to be taken into people about Jesus, but we do membership. The Church Growth not want to do so in a way that Movement would propose that dilutes the Word of God or he be accepted into introduces false doctrine. There

is certainly nothing we can add to the Law and Gospel, but we can take an awful lot away.

What follows is a brief synopsis of Professor Valleskey's pre­ sentation and a paraphrase of the questions and answers that followed. 1 have tried to convey the thoughts as faithfully as possible.

an incorrect emphasis on the visible church with its roots in reformed doctrine. He explained the harvest principle, receptivity, testing the soil, and homo­ geneous units.

For a good background on the movement I suggest reading Professor Valleskey's article in the Spring of '91 issue of the Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly. The history given in that article is very good, i thought the critique he gave at the Student-Faculty Discussion was even better, more in depth.

Professor Valleskey began and ended his presentation with the disclaimer, "I'm not in any way trying to defend the Church Growth Movement." And indeed Professor Valleskey noted that the he didn't. His presentation was things we can learn from the filled with warnings that too Church Growth Movement are much time spent searching for all in pre-evangelism: why the few things we can learn from people come to a church in the the Church Growth Movement first place, what "turns them off" can result in being polluted by to church, how we can It. Instead he recommended effectively get the message spending time reading the Bible across and what makes and the Lutheran confessions.

It errs on questions from the students and justification, the means of grace, faculty, many of which were very Law and Gospel, the nature of pointed. One student asked if man and conversion.

come to expect both "milk and meat" on Sunday morning. We need to be careful not to neglect one group while aiming at another. He also stated that following a traditional service isn't a barrier. The barrier may be doing it in a slipshod manner.

Several questions were raised as to whether it is easier to separate the good from the bad in secular thought than it is in heterodox and whether it might be better to just stay away from things like the Church Growth Movement.

While he agreed that it is certainly easier to see error in secular thought, he cautioned that we should never "paint everything the same color."

!

Professor Vallesky was asked whether small group Bible studies and lay-led Bible cells were acceptable evangelism tools.

"Yes and no-depending on how it is done" was the answer. Some think it is easier for the pastor to have laymen lead Bible studies,

y ยงf

January 1992

when just the opposite may be true if it is to be done effectively, It is still the pastor's responsibility to see that his flock is properly nurtured with the Word and sacraments. There may be legitimate concerns lest they end up as gripe and gossip sessions.

But there also are positive sides to them. People are generally more comfortable in smaller groups making it easier for them to strengthen one another. He also cautioned that it may not be appropriate for someone to decide one day that he is going to lead a Bible cell. He cited one example of a small group Bible study that should never be neglected - the family.

Professor Valleskey spent a considerable amount of time speaking with students. He left thanking the Dorm Council for the opportunity to speak to us.

However, the thanks belong to Professor Valleskey himself for this excellent presentation.

A Thought for Christmas As we talk of his coming this most festive season of the year, as we sing his praises and ponder his attributes: how his all knowing, all seeing and all powerful; how he provides for us and how he Is able to perform miracles and heal the sick, tell me If you can.

They've answered their call returner who posted an average in so far. Since Christmas, Geiger has double figures last year (11.5 ppg). taken over the team's lead in Coach Kruse now has to call to his scoring and rebounding with 112 bench for first and second year points and 83 rebounds in ten players to step into the program and games. Aaron Steinbrenner has play like seasoned veterans, been shooting about 50 percent Sophomore Troy Heiman was one from the field to date. In December such player set to start the season he really heated up from three point opener against Wisconsin Lutheran range. The 72.7 percent of his three Seminary on Novermber 20, but pointers that he sank earned him a broke his wrist in that game and is spot as one of "AT&T's Long Distance sitting out for twelve weeks.

a big game. This 6' 5" senior forward walked away from one of the most physical games of the year with a team high 16 points and 9 rebounds.

Mike Geiger got into foul trouble early but still managed to post good numbers along with the ever­ present Steinbrenner and first time starter Wayne Shevey.

As of January 24, we have only one win. Northwestern walked out of M.S.O.E. with a 95-80 victory and a 1-0 Lake Michigan Conference record. Highlights from that game in the scoring column include Matt DeNoyer's season peak of 28 points They eventually lost 63-59, but there's and Steinbrenner's season high of 20 another shot at Maranatha for points. Another memorable game Northwestern. Winter Carnival week was the contest with across town will include a home game against Maranatha January 20. Again Eric Wisconsin Lutheran College on Miller stepped on the court ready for Thursday night, February 6.

Maranatha will follow them on Saturday, February 8. If the score of their last meeting is any indication, this game ought to be another close one. Should the Trojans stay healthy, they'll be able to play the same people that came so close last time.

Perhaps some players on reserve will be healed up and provide a few extra buckets to put Northwestern on top this time. You won't want to miss it. □

Success on the Mat The 1990-91 season is reaching its peak for the Northwestern grapplers.

The team just finished competition in two major tournaments. They placed eleventh out of fifteen tough teams at the Maranatha Invitational, and fifth of eight in the State Tournament held at Lawrence.

Captain Reed Degener (167) captured first place in the State Tourney to raise his record to 8-3. Andy Schwalenberg (158) came out of nowhere to win third place to even his record at 3-3.

Captain Paul Schuler (190) took fourth place, and Ryan Landwehr, who recently moved up to the heavyweight class, also got fourth.

Kevin Walker (142) has showed promise but has been slowed by an ankle injury.

Rob Wendland (158) has been hampered by a back injury suffered in the 'Natha tournament.

Rob Robbert (150) picked up a win early in

the season and is scrapping for number two. Tait Waege (167) has posted wins in his last two matches to raise his record to 2-3. Veteran John Glerach (177) has been aiding the Trojans with his countless years of mat experience, and has been wrestling hard.

Dave Pagel (177) picked up his first pin at the State Tourney.

This team Is still on the way up.

One referee at State complimented Coach Gorsline on the persistance and effort shown by each one of our wrestlers. Look for the superior conditioning and coaching of the Northwestern wrestlers to make for some exciting matches down the stretch. The grapplers'season concludes with the Conference Meet at Maranatha on February 14.

Don't miss it!

cIfit %ost I entered weary of my woes The room in which I was to sit With dreary, unbelieving books, Astonished, as you may suppose, To find such happy change in it; There stood a most celestial rose And looked the flower that my rose looks When men are mad to seek that face Whose smiie is very heaven's grace.

:

I blessed the heart that wished me well, When I had been bereft of much And brought such word of beauty back; I want like one escaping hell To drink the fragrance and to touch, And stroked, ludicrous to tell, A horrid thing of brie or brack, A make believe and mockery And nothing that a rose must be.

I

\\

I

Prized pink roses keep a thorn To save their sweetness for a while And in their perfect rate unfold, But you beyond all women born Have spent so easily your smile That I am not the less forlorn Nor these ironic walls less cold Because it smiles, the heartless rose As you are smiling, I suppose.

The Black & Red

Profs Said It Don Schultz This addition of the "Profs Said It" will be a little different from the ones in previous issues of the Black and Red. I will confront all the issues and controversies which have arisen concerning this article. For the last few months I have been receiving thousands of letters asking me different things about the article: Dear "Profs Said It." How did this whole thing start?

Answer: "Profs Said It" began in ancient Egypt. Archaeologists have found inscriptions on the walls of a few caves which seem to be humorous quotes from some of the ancient rulers of the land. I have spent the last two summers in these caves with Professor Eickmann translating these inscriptions in order to get more ideas for "Profs Said It." Dear "Profs Said It." Do you make up any of the quotes? Where do you get them?

Answer: All of the quotes in the article are legitimate. Students bring these quotes to me. I also get much of my material from various surveillance devices I have placed in each room. I listen to hundreds of tapes of lectures each day hoping to maybe pick up a quote here orthere. During my free hoursl hide in different classrooms and listen to lectures, not only gaining much knowledge but many quotes.

Dear "Profs Said It," Do the professors like this article?

Answer: I found this out one day when I was hiding behind the couch in the faculty lounge just after they received copies of the Black and Red. Some don't care if they are quoted and others really can't stand it. One morning I woke up to see a few professors holding a demonstration outside my window, urging me to discontinue the article. Most of them, however, love the article and count down the days until they receive a new issue of the Black and Red and can once again roar with laughter as they read another "Profs Said It." Dear "Profs Said It." Who edits this article before it gets into the Black and Red? Answer: I could write a book on all the people who check this article before it gets into print. Here is a short summary: As soon as I complete this article i give it to

135

The Black & Red

January 1992

Coach Kruse. After checking it he faxes it to his close and personal friend, Bobby Knight. Bobby makes copies and sends them to all the top professional athletes in the nation who then write to me and make suggestions. One copy gets faxed to President Bush who then discusses it at the next United Nations meeting. I also give a copy to Brug who gives it to the lead singer of Metallica. He always has good suggestions for the "Profs Said It." Finally after everyone has checked it and has cut out the bad parts it gets printed for your reading enjoyment.

Keep the letters coming. You can even call me by phone if you so wish. Now the last of the quotes for 1991: Prof. Gosdeck: "If it's cheap and Prof. Sprain: "Am I in the right place?" (He affordable is the first question. We can said this In Spanish class once. We all worry about style later." (Probably talking pitched In and bought him a compass and a map of the campus for Christmas.) about shopping for clothes)

>

Prof. Sprain: "I don't want you to pay any Prof- Gosdeck: "I have defined the living attention to it after I teach it." (about dead as a Northwestern student first hour or last hour on Friday deep into the some strange Spanish syntax) semester." (Enough said)

\

Prof. Birsching: "That kid is supposed to be out there romping around with other Prof. Spaude: "Jay (Arras) would give the kids, learning how to play." (About those shirt off his back to a dead rooster." (I didn't know that Jay hung around dead students who spend all their free time studying sociology or philosophy for fun.) roosters In his spare time.) i

i

i

!

Prof. Gosdeck: "My sister is a female but Prof. Dose: (On favorite poets) "I always liked Robert Voss, I mean Robert Frost." (I she's not the kind of person you'd want to meet in a dark alley." (Upon hearing always get them mixed up too.) this a number frosh begin hanging around dark alleys. hoping to meet that Prof. Gosdeck: (Picture him in the locker special someone.) room with the wrestling team, sparring with Reed.) "And if you don't agree with me I'll hit you in the face. First I'll flick you Prof. Bode: "The only reason you're sitting in the face and then I'll hit you with down right now is because I'm not letting you lie down." (Two weeks later he let everything I've got which isn't much."

(Here Prof. Gosdeck was giving a them lie down during class. A week later he even began to lie down while he pre-match Inspiration speech to the was teaching.) wrestlers, teaching them mental toughness.)

This is probably the quote of the year said by a majority of the professors: (After saying something relatively humorous or controversial) "Now don't any of you write that down. I don't want to see that in the Black and Red." Here I must urge you readers: when he says that, write it downlll Those are the quotes that belong in "Profs Said It."

i

Next issue there will be a list of some of the quote givers and the gifts I have given them in return for their quotes. Everything from carpet shampoo to airline tickets, McDonald's gift certificates to tanning cream. These gifts and many more are all available to you if you contribute a relatively humorous quote to the Black and Red.

Looking back on WELS Classic, we have to say it was fun. Our team, cheerleaders, fans, and even the tutors were well-behaved. We were #1.

But, there are still some questions. For example: 1. Saeger, what happened?

2. Geiger, why try?

3. When did whale hunting season start?

4. Drop the bomb, Tom? 5. Which basketball player didn't let Turbo score?

6. Who didn't like the cheerleaders' routine?

7. Buckle up? Whateverl 8. Why did the DMLC cheerleaders (male) even think about playing Red Rover?

9. How much will it cost for DMLC people at the next COS?

Well, Christmas vacation is over, and we're all back at school trying to get into school again . . .? Before Christmas break, we asked a number of people what they wanted for Christmas and we also found out what they got. Here goes.

!TLrfiari OpsaHC ^Honored Longtime Wisconsin National Guardsman Col. Erhard P. Opsahl has retired from his final active duty assignment and has been awarded the Defense Superior Service Medal and Eagle Award.

The Defense award recognizes Col. Opsahl's 'exceptionally superior service" in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs. Col. Opsahl was assigned to the Readiness and Training Directorate of the Pentagon office where he helped to develop policy initiatives which had a direct bearing on the combat readiness of the National Guard and Reserve.

He also orchestrated the initial approval of the 53 state plans for the use of the National Guard in the nation's war on illegal drugs. The Eagle Award was presented by the National Guard Bureau in recognition of his many accomplishments as a career National Guardsman.

The Port Washington native served on active duty from 1975 to 1991 under the sponsorship of the National Guard. He also served at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind.; Fort Hood, Texas and Washington, D.C. In 1980, he was the first National Guard tour officer assigned to the Defense Department's public affairs office where he served as a spokesman on reserve component and personnel matters.

Col. Opsahl is a graduate of Northwestern College of Watertown and has a masters degree from the University of Wisconsin where he is continuing his doctoral studies. His military education includes graduation from the Army's Armor Officer Candidate School, the Field Artillery School, Defense Information School, Command and General Staff College and the National War College. He also completed the Senior Officials in National Security Seminar at Harvard University.

He joined the Army following college in 1966. After receiving a commission, he served in Vietnam where, among other awards, he received the Silver Star, Soldier's Medal and Combat Infantryman Badge. After leaving active duty, Col. Opsahl served first In the Army Reserve and then joined the Wisconsin Army Guard's 112th Public Affairs Detachment in 1972. He returned to active duty as Guardsman in 1975 and served until his recent retirement.

Col. Opsahl and his wife Carla and their family reside in the Madison area.

Going for the Gold Even though I was only 11 years old, I still remember the 1980 Olympic Games at Lake Placid as if they had taken place just yesterday. After all, who could ever forget the miracle on ice-the underdog Team USA beating the heavily-favored Soviets and then knocking off Finland to win the gold medal. I recall reenacting the games with my brother and memorizing all the players' names. The victories gave me true pride in my country; watching the stars and stripes rise slowly over the crowd and rest above the ice as our National Anthem was played brought a lump to my throat.

:

1992 is another Olympic year, and once again athletes from countries around the world gather in one spot to compete for the title of the "World's Best" amateur in their respective sports. These athletes train for years to perform for only a few minutes. What a sacrificel I truly admire these athletes for their intense hours of practice, which must seem endless to them at times. However, just the chance to compete in the Olympic games-not to mention winning a medal-makes those hours worthwhile.

The apostle Paul likened our daily Christian lives to running a race, an Olympic event already at that time. In I Corinthians nine he explains that we, too, as those training for the Olympics, must undergo strict training. We do not train for a fleeting moment in time; on the contrary, our goal is eternal and our prize is better than any gold or silver. We will use self- discipline and push ourselves as we strive for the final goal which Christ has won for us. Because of him, we can already claim our prize.

: !

II .

As I watched the Olympics, I was reminded of my own race and struggle against the flesh. However, I also received comfort knowing that my prize waits for me by the grace of God. I hope you also felt this comfort as you watched the games this year. â&#x2013;

Winter Carnival Pete Prange There are only two things that I wonder dbout Winter Carnivdl. First, why do we call It d carnival? There are no rides. There are no bearded ladies. It's just not your average carnival aura, Secondly, why do we call it winter? There's never any snow on the ground (save last year's twist of fate). In fact, the only snow we usually see all winter falls the week after Winter Carnival. But once again we were treated to o fun-filled week of no homework and less sleep as each class waged war In a classic struggle for our one lifeline of existence, pizza.

The first event was the tug-o-war with the sophomores defending their title from last year, even though it wasn't a cakewalk since they were without the services of 219-pound Brent Brutlag.

The seniors and juniors captured the "snow'Vmud volleyball and softbdll championships, respectively, The only question still remaining is whether anyone is going to ever take down the volleyball poles, Because of the lack of snow, murals once again became the genre for artistic expression. The juniors captured the gold by a mere one point over the freshmen due to the talents of Joel Schultz and Bill Finn.

Three point and free throw contests were held throughout the week with, junior Tim Otto and sophomore Eric Roecker advancing to a Saturday halftime three point showdown, and senior Chris Goelzer and freshmdn Matt Brooks doing the same for the free throw contest. Goelzer handily defedted Brooks with

help from his Trojan cheerleader friends, while Otto was hitting three pointers at an alarming rate of one every twenty seconds to spoil Roecker's bid for three-point stardom.

Gunderson as the actual "Ugliest Man on Campus." The sophomores swept up the UMOC honors with a little help from Eric Roecker's Ted Koppel impersonation as they made history by having the first UMOC skit never to actually have the UMOC candidate on stage.

The week culminated with the UMOC campaigns for each class. The freshmen had . . . does it really matter? The When the overall scores were sophomores had Jon Micheel tallied the Juniors and portraying world-famous sophomores were in a 150-150 supermodel Jacques deadlock, so each Flambeau. The juniors entered sophomore and junior D. Scott Bertram as Mr. Clean, received half a pizza. This left while the seniors used the no one more disgusted than back-to-the-basics approach Diener, who was heard saying, as they campaigned Paul "A tie is like kissing my sister!"

As we sat there, we talked about Scott and how he always had to work from eight at night until four in the morning watering greens.

We remembered when we were on that shift a couple weeks ago and how easy it was to get "the jumps," as we called it. When you're out there by yourself at one in the morning in the black darkness with only a little flashlight to lead you from green to green, you can become a nervous wreck without too much trouble. The fog rolls in, and the bigger animals come out, possums that come up to your waist when they stand on their heels or monster raccoons that seem to follow you wherever you go. Your mind will play the cruelest games on you when you're out there alone. We knew that even Scott, the mighty high school football stud, the mighty captain of his high school wrestling team, Mr. Tough Guy, was vulnerable at night. Anyone could get "the Jumps" out there, That's when we started talking about gorillas. Mark and I had the same sense of humor, maybe because we were both college students who were just bored to

death of our jobs. We thought nothing could be funnier than dressing up as gorillas and scaring Scott out of his mind. We could make a night out of itl Whenever Mark and I talked this way at six in the morning, it was only talk, only something to pass the time until break. But we decided that this was it. Every morning we had a "Wouldn't it be funny if..." conversation, but we never did it. For once we were going to actually carry out one of our stupid ideas, |t didn't surprise me that Mark was especially determined to become a gorilla for a night.

Running around loose on a golf course in a gorilla costume at two in the morning would be one of the tamer things he has done. At his school he had quite the reputation for doing unusual or daring stunts, such as skydiving off the top of dorms or jumping out of moving cars. Dressing up as a gorilla would be a mere walk in the park for him.

That fateful night arrived one week later. Mark and I drove up to the railroad tracks which led to the golf course and shut off the car. We were really going to do It. We each grabbed a duffel bag containing a gorilla costume we rented and made our way

This was it. Poor Scott, costumes were perfect. In the Scott was a nice guy, but dark one couldn't tell the probably not the safest person difference between us and the on whom to play a practical joke, real thing.

Then swing out of the tree and land on he dropped the cooler into a all fours facing Scott.

To View an Tmpty fHand Listen to a sturdy thought mine is a stronger view.

You happen to feel your eloquence fall down upon my neck? i can hear the closest voices of a thousand muttering within a year.

Yet, the purest toil could never comprehend such a task.

"Simplicity can confuse a matter when a complex structure is not at stake."

To capture one's idleness would be to take one's strength away.

Stand alone on one claim! It's far better then to crawl for two.

Once again when the mountain is climbed only to view a summit at the peak.

The purest toil could never articulate such a task, "simplicity can confuse a matter when a complex structure is not at stake."

Comfort in the Cross There are times in my life when everything seems to go as planned. Often this presents a difficultyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I tend to forget who's gracious hand is in everything I do; I lose sight of the blessings of my God. At these times, I start to feel pretty good about myself. My human nature tells me I don't need anyone else to help me-l can do everything on my own. Fortunately, the Lord chides me and places the cross of Christ before my eyes, reminding me of the ultimate sacrifice paid on that cross for my salvation.

The Lenten season accomplishes this same humbling of my sinful pride. When l am taken back to the Garden of Gethsemane in the passion history, I view and imagine the drops of blood which Jesus sweated for me. I see Jesus scorned and spit on before the High Priest. Quickly I realize the pain and suffering my innummerable sins have cost my Lord and Savior and I begin to comprehend his love which he so graciously showers on me. I am brought to the understanding that I can do nothing to contribute to my salvation-l'm condemned to death.

The hymn writer provided comfort and showed Christ's great sacrifice when he penned: Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish?

It is my sins for which Thou, Lord must languish; Yea, all the wrath, the woe, Thou dost inherit, This I do merit.

What punishment so strange is suffered yonder!

The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander; The Master pays the debt His servants owe Him, Who would not know Him. (TLH 143, v.3,4) The Master has died for me even though in my sinfulness I try to break free from the fold. How thankful I am that Jesus has earned my salvation! The Lenten season demonstrates my inability to save myself and directs me to my all-sufficient Savior. I hope you find the same comfort and joy as you gaze upon the cross of Christ. â&#x2013;

But then, the inevitable. There he was. That disdainful peacock waving his wings, calling off the shot, ripping the game from our grasp. I.didn't know a peacock could fly until I saw him take off out of that gym. And there was the judge scurrying after him with a quickness that I never would have guessed his body could obtain. But to no avail.

"Wait a minute, this isn't fair!"

"You're wasting time, answer the question."

After a short pause of disbelief, the reasoning of the young man seemed to rebound slightly.

Recognizing the precarious circumstances, he mustered his remaining courage and carefully chose his words. "My only defense is that the call was Then as the scene switched back, correct." my heart quickened as I finally realized that justice was going to "So does the defense stand?" be served.

Erich.

Good! It's good! The game's tied. Even in reliving it I couldn't contain my joy.

The short burst of courage that the defendant had mustered to defend himself proved to be short-lived. After reviewing the evidence, he regressed to a mere shell of his former self. He barely managed a whining, "But that would have only tied the game. You might have still..."

"We would have won!" snapped the judge. Besides, we're here to assess your guilt, and you've all but admitted to being wrong. So

The Black & Red

Advice From the R.A. Don Schultz Did you ever sit at a computer, or typewriter, or chalkboard, or hunk of stone, or whatever you use to write your papers on, and not have a clue what to write? Have you ever run around your room with your hands in the air shouting, "I HAVE NO CLUE! I HAVE NO CLUEI" Then you tear your clothes and jump out the window, Have you ever done that?

makes Jack a dull boy. Print that fifty times." I soon found out that it was not acceptable material for the Black and Red. The next day I received a call from our downtown office in New York which firmly stated:"Be funny, not foul." I had to think of something else. "Why didn't you just print prof-quotes?" you might ask. There are just so many prof-quotes you can print, and then the novelty wears off. Come on, get a clue. There must be something else.

That happened to me when I was trying to write "Profs Said It." There I sat in my twelve story office building in downtown Watertown, leaning back in my soft easy-chair with my There is. Throughout this past year feet up on my solid oak desk. Across many students have come to me from me sat Darlene, my secretary, with their problems because I am an stenographer's notebook in one R.A. "Hopefully he can shed light on hand and tape recorder in the other, my dilemna," they must think. What "Shall we compose, sir?" she asked, better time than now to publish poised to record my every breath. some of these questions which could apply to many students today!

I couldn't think of anything to say.

Finally I said, "All work and no play

Problem: I am afraid to give blood at the Blood Drive.

SOLUTION: Walk in there with a plastic arm hanging out of your shirt. Fill it with tomato sauce. Let them poke around with that and see what happens. If you're still scared, you can hold hands with one of the volunteers, like Wayne Kramer. That's what I do.

Problem: I can't stop using the housephone. I know the person I want to talk to is only ten feet away, but I have to use it!

SOLUTION: Ask Dean for permission to live off campus. There may be an extra room in one of our professor's houses.

Problem: I hate the housephone.

166

The Black & Red

MWŠ@ tom Shut !.A.

March 1992

SOLUTION: You can never really learn to like the housephone. But there is a way to vent your frustations. Learn where the person who uses the housephone the most lives. Go there every morning at 5 AM and turn his stereo on as loud as it goes. Pour cold water on him. Jump on him. All the while you are doing this shout: "(his name). pick up the housephonel" This should make you feel a little better.

Problem: I have mice who live under my bed.

SOLUTION: Close your windows and shut your door. Don't enter your room for a week.

When you return, they will all be dead. How? Since it is spring and it's getting warmer, our heaters are working overtime - they always seem to work the hardest in late April.

With the windows closed the temperature should rise to a powerful 120 degrees.

Anything living in that room should die. You can throw the mice bodies in the alcove.

That's where everything else goes.

Problem.- When I come back from the cafeteria, I am bloated and too full. Sometimes I can't even move.

SOLUTION: When receiving your food, kindly ask for smaller portions. pronounce your words loudly and clearly.

Be sure to

Problem-. I can't get hot water to come out of the shower, only cold water.

SOLUTION: Ask one of the janitors to boil a few buckets of water for you. Then, at the same time you are showering with the icy cold water, have the janitor pour the boiling water on you. The result should be a comfortably warm shower.

:

Problem: I miss bowling. I wish it could go on forever. Four months isn't long enough.

SOLUTION: You can bowl alone. While you are bowling, close your eyes and remember all the sights and sounds of the intramural bowling season. Pretend that everyone from intramural bowling is still around you. If your imagination is good enough, you can even try talking to them. That should make it seem like bowling never ended.

Problem: There are always girls sitting on the college side of the cafeteria. I want to talk to one of them, but I'm too shy. What should I do?

SOLUTION: First of all, don't shower or comb your hair. Don't try in any way to make yourself look presentable. Why? What if you go through all the trouble of making yourself look nice and then she doesn't even give you the time of day? All that trouble for nothing! Don't take the chance.

STEP 2 Before you sit down next to her, pile an unbelievable amount of food on your tray. That way, if she's hungry, you can share.

STEP 3: Don't ask for permission to sit with her. Just plop your tray down and start gorging yourself with food. Occasionally smile at her and offer her some of your food.

STEP 4: The first thing you say is. "Are we going to Pizza Hut or Zwieg's?" Then look down and keep on eating. Don't look up for awhile. Give her time to think. You don't want to rush her.

STEP 5: If she gets up to leave, assume that means "Pizza Hut." Carry her tray for her and walk her to the door. As she leaves, yell, "See you at eightl" RESULT: You have a datel Or maybe not. Either way, you talked to her. something you were afraid to do in the first place. After doing this there should be less prep girls sitting on the college side than before, another plus. Maybe the two of you should just be friends.

Problem: Even though I go to bed at 10 p.m. every night, wake up at 6:30 a.m., do aerobics, and shower, I still sometimes fall asleep in class.

SOLUTION: First of all, tell your professor your problem before class. I always say, "Professor, I might fall asleep in your class, so keep an eye on me just in case."

THEN, prop a very sharp pencil up between your books, pointing toward the ceiling. Position it so that every time your head dips down a little you poke yourself in the eye.

ALSO, every time you feel drowsiness coming on. get up and walk around the classroom. The professor will understand.

Problem: Whenever I go downtown, the Watertown people pick on me and yell "SEEP! SEEP!" Even in ShopKo. SOLUTION: Whenever you go downtown, have the mighty Brutlag come along with you. Will they run away? Probably not, but instead of picking on you they'll probably concentrate more on him, especially if he wears his one-of-a-kind football/letter-jacket.

Problem: Certain professors don't like me. How can I change that?

SOLUTION: If a prof, doesn't like you, you must win his favor at all costs. Bring him fruitbaskets and flowers in the morning. Maybe a nice warm bearhug would do the trick. Occasionally raise your hand in the middle of class and say, "Professor, you're doing a real good job right now." If he walks to school in the morning, sit by his house in your car and wait for him. Offer him a ride when he leaves his home.

Problem: 1 don't feel I worked hard enough on Arbor Day. How can I make up lor it?

SOLUTION: Put on sackcloth. Grab a rake. Stand between the dorms and rake until you pass out. Get up and buy some sod to patch up the bare areas. Trim the trees and bushes. Get on your hands and knees and clean out the cracks in the sidewalk with a puddy-knife. This would be a step in the right direction. And next time remember: WORK! SWEAT! That's what Arbor Day is all about.

I could go on for pages and pages of all the questions asked me. Some others are: "I can't pass the fourth level when I play a lot of Nintendo games," or “I don't have enough time everyday to read my Hebrew out loud," or "My roommate keeps me up late at night when he reads his Hebrew out loud."

These problems and many others I have solved. Remember, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to come to me. You know where I live.

Jesus Cares

I

»

: ; *

: Jesus wants all people to be saved. Before his ascension into heaven, he instructed the disciples to go and teach all nations. Normally we think of such instruction in terms of Bible class, catechism class and Sunday school.

However, not everyone has the ability to learn in the format to which we are accustomed. This is what the Jesus Cares program offers.

i :

The Jesus Cares program is Christian instruction for the mentally retarded.

Every Saturday the program is held right here on Northwestern's campus from 9:00 -10:30 a.m. in the Chapel-Arts building. That's great-but you are probably asking yourself, "Where do I fit in?"

This program is made up almost exclusively of volunteers and you, too, could volunteer your time and abilities to help out. But first let's take a short look at the history and the setup of the program.

The program was originally funded by a grant from the synod. This helped fund the developmental years of the program which is now fairly self-supporting. The program is self-supporting due to the generosity of Ladies Aid and other organizations of various churches within a 25-mile

radius of Watertown. Once a year many of the churches within the 25-mile radius also hold a special offering to help support the program. (I should mention that the program held at Northwestern is not the only Jesus Cares program; there are others held in different locations of the synod.)

Now let's get back to how you can possibly help out. Obviously the mentally retarded have special educational needs. For future pastors and teachers, it will be beneficial to have a knowledge of what these needs are and how they can be met. Jesus Cares is just the place to learn how these needs are met. You are not going to easily find a less-threatening environment to learn more about ways you can minister to the metally retarded. By lessthreatening, .1 mean an environment where you can sit back and observe without being pressured into doing anything.

First of all, you are going to see some familiar faces from the Northwestern family. Rob Robbert and Jim Price (NWC) as well as Paul and Rebekah Learman (NPS) are student helpers in. the program, and you may even see Ed Frey strumming the guitar to provide music for the singing. Also from the Northwestern family are Mrs. Ann Lindemann and Mrs. Carol Voss, who do teaching as well as a host of other functions. Numerous other volunteers also give of their time and talents.

Secondly, the program is set up similar to a Sunday School or Vacation Bible School, so it is not going to be all that different. Each Saturday we start off with a group devotion, and then the students are split up into smaller groups for instruction in separate classrooms. Then there is a time for crafts and singing.

Thirdly, anyone is welcome to come visit the program even if it is only for a half-hour. Visitors are always welcome; there is nothing the students like better than to get to meet new people. You will probably be pleasantly surprised if you will only take the time to come over and visit, even just once.

Nobody is going to demand you lead a class or show up every week from that point on.

If your're still hesitant about coming over, consider this: sometimes I honestly wonder who is getting more benefit out of the program, me or the students!

There are many valuable lessons we can learn from the students of Jesus Cares. I'm sure the other volunteers will tell you the same thing.

The students of Jesus Cares have a more simple outlook on life, and in some ways I envy them. All too often I get caught up in all the things I have to do and then I easily lose sight of the fact that learning more about Jesus should be the highlight of my day and my week. When is the last time you saw

someone visibly upset becasue they showed up late and didn't get a chance to give their offering to Jesus.

If you think I am biased you are absolutely right. That's because this program offers a great opportunity that is very rewarding. If you have a hard time believing it, come on over. Consider this: Rob Robbert doesn't get up early on Saturday mornings for just anything.

So whether your talent is musical, intellectual or social, please don't pass up this opportunity to help nurture another Chrisitan's faith and to learn more about the many different ways God blesses each person as he sees fit.

Summer ‘Evangettsm Question: Why have 30 Northwestern students been spotted going over to Room 14, a classroom in the Chapel-Arts building, on Sundays? Answer: Because the Summer Evangelism Experience (SEE) classes are held there.

The SEE is a program conducted jointly by representatives of the synod and Northwestern College. Students who have junior or senior class status are eligible to participate in this program. The Northwestern faculty representative who coordinates the SEE is Professor Roger Sprain.

The program gives Northwestern students the opportunity to serve in their home church or in another congregation during summer vaction. To prepare the students for this opportunity to spread the Gospel, a series of five class sessions is held on campus. These sessions are each about three hours long and designed to give a basic idea of ways one can evangelize.

Pastor Robert Harmann, Director of Evangelism for the synod, and Professor David Vallesky of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary have led the five sessions. To them we owe our thanks for their willingness to share their experiences and knowledge. Once the students have completed the sessions, Pastor Harold Hagedorn, the Administrator of the Board for Home Missions, facilitates the placement of students

who are able to serve away from home during the summer break.

God-willing there will be enough congregations able to host all available students for the summer.

The benefits of participation in SEE are many. Obviously it gives the students a chance to learn more about spreading the Word. It also helps the student see evangelism programs in action so he can "take notes." The chance to work with people at the lay level will also help us to understand the fears and thoughts our lay people may have when we someday have a congregation of our own and become involved in an evangelism program.

The program also gives the members of our synod a chance to get to know the Northwestern students and learn more about how our worker training system runs. Above all it gives our churches added laborers to reap the plentiful harvest, as the Holy Spirit sees fit.

TraveC, Canvass, 'Witness The Travel, Canvass, Witness program is just what the name implies. It is a program in which Northwestern students, during their Spring Break, can travel to a WELS church and help out by canvassing and witnessing.

Students form teams beforehand and submit their applications. Then a member of the Special Ministries Board at 2929 Mayfair matches the teams with places to which they may go. Then, come Spring Break time, students scramble off to their locations all over the United States.

Once they get to their destination, the team of four stays with host families.

While at the congregation, they help out the evangelism program In a variety of ways. Experience is gained in any or all of the following: taking phone surveys, hanging door hangers, taking door-to-door surveys, and sometimes even follow-up visits. Spare time is spent enjoying recreational opportunities of the area along with Chritian fellowship. Their labors not only help out the church here and now, but also give the students valuable experience for the future.

:Don't Loo/(j'Bac/(^ As our basketball team walked off the court at Lakeland College after playing their final game of the season, they shared some good memories. Yet compared with what hopes they have for next season, they probably didn't remenisce for too long.

Are You Prepared?

The end of another school year Is fast approaching and with this end comes the inevitable: DEADLINES. Yes, papers, tests and projects all bring with them deadlines. For some students, these assignments compel a burning of the midnight oil—or 5 a.m. oil.

Others handle deadlines with ease, completing their assignments days in advance. Still other students pull several all-nighters as their procrastination catches up with them. "So much work to do and such little time"-the end of the school year can be a nightmare for students.

There is one matter in which we cannot afford to procrastinate, a matter which carries far more weight that simply a grade.

What l am speaking of is the preparedness for the end of the world. "Watch and pray," Jesus tells us. We do not know when the last day will come. Paul explains to the Thessalonians that this day will arrive "like a thief in the night." The only certain thing is that Judgment Day will come; the LORD promises that.

However, this day should not come as a surprise to us, for we will want to be prepared to meet the bridegroom. We must not get careless concerning our salvation, becasue if we think we are standing firm we must take care that we do not fall! We will do well to pray for the Lord to keep our faith strong and protect us from the attacks of the devil, the world and our own sinful flesh.

We should pray that we do not put off our preparation by distancing ourselves from Christ, the one who won salvation for us. Instead, let us study the Scriptures diligently, so that when the final hours comes we are prepared to enter eternal bliss in heaven with our LORD! ■

7ft e B/gr He/sf By: Benjamin Donald Deal & Hubert Jass II On a dark and stormy night, the Knights, who used to be of the Haus Table, became the Knights of the Peninsular Table, because Karl, the Evil Warlock, stymied the Knights at around ten and sent them to the fireswamp. But, alas, on the other side of the swamp was the Indian Village. There were smoke signals that beckoned them. So they hopped in the Sam-mobile and journeyed to the Village. Upon their arrival, Tim, the Hiawathan chief, welcomed them. He said, I put out my flip-flop Stepped on my pop-top Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Put my blues in the blender And soon it will render That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

He bestowed many gifts upon them, including clay pots of Elsinore from the Great White North and Indian names. PTE was given the name: He Who Dance with Self.

Jobu was given the name: He Who Choke on Cherry Pit. Zeke was given the exalted name. Al. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the Knights, injustices were being perpetrated in the territory of Karl who was being repressed by the Dragon Ignoramus. Passing ruffians were saying to passersby, incorrectly, we might add.

The gallant gladiator. Gun-don, saw that the kingdom was in shambles and things had run amuck. Then he masterminded a plan so crazy it might just work. He sent his messenger, Robin, the boy wonder, to plead with the Knights. His message was of this nature.

0 Knights, who used to be of the Haus and now are of the Peninsular table.

We have been repressed and have been forced into a self-perpetuating autocracy.

1 beg of you. return and stop the madness,

You, O great Knights, know many things that are hidden, but you may not know that the 3001b Diener beast has been incarcerated in the Castle of Jim by the Dragon Ignoramus and his flying, screaming, rabid, fascist, imperialist, federales of death.

There will be no money, but on your deathbeds you will receive total consciousness.

The Knights, having received the message from the flying bald boy wonder, Robin, said to themselves, "Well, at least we have that going for us, which is nice."

After two moons, the Knights were ready to begin their Cracker Crusade. So they donned their armor, jumped in the Sam-mobile and disembarked from the Village.

A short while later they arrived at the territory of Karl, in the kingdom of Gotch, a region having a wet and humid climate. As they crossed into the territory of Karl, which by the way bordered the territory of Puyip, the Gladiator Gun-don met them on the bridge, with the flowing robes, the grace-striking.

"Let us adjourn," he said "to the Haus of Karl and overlook the establishment's board of faire." Arriving at Karl's Haus, Sir Pony Tail greeted them. Making formalities a foregone conclusion, he led them to the anatomically correct map of the kingdom of Gotch (next to Sea-Wolf). As a result, a plan was formed by the Knights to besiege the Castle of Jim, to slay the Dragon Ignoramus and liberate the 3001b Diener beast, so she might once again roam the first floor dungeon, moving from cell to cell. The Knights left refreshed from Karl's Haus, his full support behind them. He gave them some magical potion which they might use along the way.

As the Knights were scaling the wire walls that were a stone's throw from the Castle of Jim, a swallow flew overhead with a coconut in its feet. This was a sign from Karl, who was now a good warlock, that Arbor Day was the next day and that the castle was ripe for the picking.

The trek from the wire walls past the humble hut of the Reverend Enchanter was perilous, to say the least. Passing the Hall of Surprises, they were filled with joy when they saw their Indian friend, Tim of the Hiawathans, who brought with him magic potion. For he had seen that their potion would be depleted by the time they reached the castle. But at that very moment the dragon rushed forth from his lair Big Lair, that is -- screaming and blowing fire out of his nose. The Knights were terrified.

But to their suprise, the dragon ran right by them and jumped in the Cube van and sped off. As he pealed out of the parking lot, the Knights heard him scream, "I would rather go live with Frank in the Dura-Cave of Wayne."

The Knights were very vexed with the reason for this outburst. They turned to enter the castle when the Diener beast appeared atop the castle wall and said, "Fix the cigarette lighter."
