A New Volunteerism

How would you vote on these questions? " Shall we legalize gambling - bingo, pinball machines, card rooms - in our state? *

Shall taxpayers reimburse the victims of violent crimes?

.>

Shall the death penalty continue to be banned in our state?

*

Shall the state pay local communities in proportion to the numbers of people

they keefJ out of Jail? , Shall convicts be allowed to go horne on furlough before they are paroled?

"Yes," answered the Washington State Legislature earlier this year as the solons tried to deal with aspects of society's most troublesome problem: crime and violence.

Chances are that you, the reader of this article, have little contact with the criminal justice system, beyond an occasional traffic ticket. Chances are, too, that you have never been the victim of a major crime, nor do you have contact with anyone labeled a criminal.

And yet, according to most authorities, you are the "Somebody" who can do "something" to reduce the rate of crime in your state and in the nation.

"The public has shown remarkably little interest in the correctional system," a recent study on "prisoners

in America" charges, "There has been insufficient involvement of

citizen volunteers, private agency resources, and business leadership,"

Academic Cloister or Action Catalvst W h at is the ro le of the University when institutio n s are breaking dow n , w h en old ways of doing t h ings no l onger work and when social changes are necessary for survival a n d renewal of society? T h a t h as been a subject of liv e l y debate, particu l ar l y since t h e eruptio n of the urban crisis during the Riotous Sixties (a crisis which persists, the

\

President's opinion notwith standing).

One side contends, "T h e University should abjure a n y co nception of itself as an

\.

activist shaper of t h e larger society ... It sh ould stick to the pursuits of the academic

\

c loister." The opposite positi on holds t h at "among all institutions in the nati o n , the university has the greatest responsibility to Ge a sh aper of the society..

It must be

e ngaged, activist, reformist." A middle view suggests th at t h e c l oister must at least have a w i n dow toward the wor ld.

Our purpose is not to try to suggest some opti mum fifty-year l in e for all coll eges, but rather to ask what Illay be distinctive or appropriate a bout the role of a church-re lated university as an agent of social chan ge. Pacific Lutheran U n iversity's s taternent of obJectives asserts, Born of the

obligation to confront liberally educated men with the challenges of Christian faith and to instill in them a true sense of vocation.

â&#x20AC;˘

This statel11ent, as well as the public record, attests that the "ivory tower" is an olltrnoded figure for PLU, if indeed it ever was an accurate description. That the University has an obligation for public service is no longer in question. The points at Issue are the vvays in which it is appropriate for the University to serve society.

It is not even any 1011ger an issue as to vvhether or not PLU shall be a direct agent of social change. That was settled in the 1960's when Pr¡esident Robert Mortvedt helped mganize eOn1(flunnity efforts to install a sewer system in suburban Tacoma. (A much needed social change whieh, by the v-.Jay, is sti II needed.J In 1971 the Board of Regents authorized Project Equality, agreeing not to do business with firms wh ich are 110t equal opportunity employers.

(Construction was briefly slowed down on the new

University Center when it appeared that a contractor did not comply.) In 1972 the University began to carry out a program of "affirmative action," thereby espousing the movement

I n both cases the University by corporate action

becomes a potent agent for social change.

Since that issLle is resolved we can get on with the clucial questions â&#x20AC;˘

Can the college have a short arm which reaches only to students on campus, and a

long arm which goes outside? *

How are service functions relateel to curriculum, to budgeting, anel to the neeels of

tho se serveel? , How do we

turn

loose more of the human resources arlel expertise on campus to

meet community neeels?

Eldon L. Johnsorl, vice-presidr:::rlt of University of Illinois, recently warned that "there is danger now that campus calm and budget restraints are revealing the honestly preferred priorities, of articulating what a college can't do illStead of what it can do."

/

/

We are, he declared, in a new cycle of quoting Alfred North Wh itehead's plea for education "as high as art and as deep as philosophy," but neglecting to quote his other plea that "Celibacy does not suit a university.

It must mate with action."

As Pacific Lutheran University charts its future, the dialogue about faith and hope, action and change, and vocation in the world must be opened up to more intense

involvement by faeLiI ty and studen ts, admin istratlon and regents, p a r e n t s and al urn ni, as

well

as the Church

and the wider comrnunity.

This is a vital part of the

c h a lle n ge

of PLU's "resl ollSibility to discover, oxplore, and

develop new frontiers."

Ne w Role for Volunteers A maio

shift in the use or vollinteers from their custom ry ser v i ce activities as

stamp-lickers or phone路answerers to a more professionaliLed role is signaled by the emergence of cilizerlS groups rallying around such issues as environrnental qua lity ,

consumer l;rOlection and " o p en governrnent" I.aws . N otew o rthy on th e national scene are

John G

riner's Common Cause, Ral p h Nader's Public Citizen, Inc., and ex-senator

Fred R. Harlls' Tax Action Campaign. Closer to horne is Pierce County Action,
