CHORUS TOUR, 1950 Friday, March 31. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Tlie first concert of the 1950 tour was given at St. Peter's church in Milwaukee. All 70 members of the chorus traveled to Milwaukee via two Cardinal buses. Heavy rain failed to dampen tlie enthusiastic spirits of the seventy. The concert was well atwas followed bv an iiiformal get-together sponsored by the L. A. of St. Peter's. Chorus members met their hosts and dispersed to tlieir various quarters. Saturday, April 1, Benton Harbor, Michigan. At ten o’clock, ?midst flurries of snow and under a cloudy . sky, the 'Mucky fortv” left for Benton Harbor, Michigan, having been wished godspeed on their journey by jimmy’s Lucy. Because of an unfortunate route through Chicago and poor service at a restaurant, plus the loss of an hour sustained in entering the Eastern Standard time zone, we roared into Benton Harbor at 7 :o6, exactly two hours and 36 minutes behind schedule. Our relieved hosts rushed us home for a quick meal and a change of clothes, thus

RED delaying the starting time of the concert no more than fifteen minutes. The bolting of our supper left only one casualty, that of Alvin Spaude, who hoisted the white flag after section one. His perturbed host, fearing ptomaine poisoning, searched the ranks in vain for her chalk-faced guest. After another successful concert the members enjoyed the generous hospitality of their hosts. An especially enjoyable time was had by four of our members, for whom the time of departure came all too quickly. Memories linger on. Sunday, April 2, Chesaning, Michigan. A short hop of ten miles brought us to Coloma in time fui. Icii o’clock services, in which the chorus sang two numbers. A collection to defray the cost of a dinner at a local restaurant was taken at the door. Immediately after dinner w€ continued on our way to Chcsaning, where we were greeted hv a mild snow storm. After supper, served in the church basement, the Glee Club, as at all stops, express ed the appreciation of the chorus by singing a few selections. This time “Jingle Bells” was included, dedicated to Michigan’s weather, The realization of Hans Jackson’s fondest dream, in the person of MINNIE, makes Chesaning live in our memories. Thanks to Marv Zank’s impersonations and the dedication of a song by the Glee Club, her fame increased rather than declined as the lour progressed. Excursions through a local packing house and house trailer factory on the following morning made the stay fascinating for others as well. A delicious dinner brought our pleasant stay to an end. Monday, April 3, Saginaw, Michigan. Two o’clock found us on our way to Saginaw, the home of the Michigan Lutheran Seminary. A washed-out bridge, caused by the typically Michigan weather forced us to hoof it across a tempo rary bridge. Buck, our efficient and likeable driver, stuck with the bus and brought her safely across. A few dead cattle seen along the way occasioned a classic expression from the lips of “Alole” Gerlach. “Somebody must have shot the bull last night.” After travel ling a few more miles, the spires of metropolitan Saginaw rose out of the misty horizon .. . Water to the right of them, water to the left of them, into the valley of Saginaw rode the twice twenty ... Our visit to the Sem and the recreational facilities provided m the ’ church basement highlighted our stay in Saginaw. Inclement weather reduced the attendance at the concert considerably. (Wc keep telling ourselves). After another pleasant night spent at the homes of our hosts we met for a polishing-up rehearsal at 10:45 Wednesday morning. A typically scrumptious dinner again rang down the curtain. 2

RED Tuesday, April 4, Bay City, Michigan. It was Bay City or bust as we weighed anchor at 2 .*30. Through holes and high water our short jaunt was soon terminated. Thanks to the skillful maneuvering of the ship by Skipper Buck, the island of Bay City was sighted at 3 ：oo. The local bowling alleys provided entertainment for a good many of the keglers 111 • our midst. The post-concert lunch was supplemented by a playback of the recording of our rendition. Casanova Meier’s parched throat added gaiety lo tlic gathering, while his acquaintance with the quencher of his lliirst added another nani€ to the fast-growing list in his little black book. As for the weather, it was well des cribed by a native of Michigan, “We’ve got nine months of winter, and three months of darn late in the Fall.” Poor weather or not, a good time was had by all. Wednesday, April 5, Adrian, Michigan. A11 11 ：30 dinner put us in shape for the run to Adrian, the home of “Ihigs” Baer. “T. V.” Ylvisaker’s golden baritone was silenced by a case of laryngitis, forcing him to sit this one out. ■ ’ of the concert raised the morale of the His unbiased appraisal choristers considerably. Bowling at “Louie’s”，a tour through the dairy, and a delicious ham dinner left a lasting impression on our minds. Thursday, April 6, Wayne, Michigan. SUNSHINE! ! ! ! ! The trip from Adrian to Wayne was high lighted by a short stop at Willow Run, site of Kaiser-Fraser Corp. and the Midwest Airport. At 4:30 we arrived in Wayne. The chorus members participated in a pre-concert communion service. After the concert four of our members enjoyed a thrilling, chilling, spine-tingling jaunt to Detroit with compliments of IRENE, Michi gan’s best and fastest woman driver. Some of the chorus members were flattered when several young girls (very young) sought their autographs. The wonderful hospitality of our hosts again made our stay enjoyable. Friday, April 1. Detroit and Monroe, Michigan. The scheduled 10:30 departure from Wayne was delayed con siderably by the late arrival of two of the Senior members. We managed to get to Detroit in time for dinner, however. The con cert began at 1:30. After the concert, while engaged in a fast ping----- match, Paul Kuske tested the hardness of one of the pillars pong 1 in the church basement with his head. To his surprise the pillar refused to budge, and the affair resulted in two stitches and a doctor bill of three dollars. After eating supper we set sail for Monroe, where we arrived at 6:40. An attempt at recording the 3

RED evening concert ended in failure when the amateur operator of the machine failed to give it the proper attention, having been carried away by the beauty of the concert. Sellno'v and Fricke hit the proverbial jackpot in tlieir hosts, who had five cars, three tractors, two television sets, and one daughter. Our departure at i 130 c*nnabled most of the boys to get some much needed rest. ::

Saturday； April 8, Toledo. The crossing into a different state brought little change in the weather. Cold and rainy .weather prevailed. The municipal zoo, together with shuffle board, ping pong, and dart ball provided entertainment until concert time. Since about 60% of the congrega tion members had T. V., the wrestling and boxing bouts were the main topic of discussion the following morning, The beautiful church will not soon be forgotten. Sunday, April 9, Jenera, Ohio, and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Leaving Toledo at 8:15, we arrived in Jenera in time for the ten o’clock services. Easter Sunday dinner was enjoyed at the congregation members’ homes. The afternoon concert was well attended in spite of a snow storm. After the concert a “liglU” lunch was served, after which the Glee Club again entertained. The crossover into Indiana enroute to Fort Wayne brought us back into the Central Standard time zone. Miserable weather again cut the attendance. All enjoyed their stay in the homes of our Missouri brethren, especially those two late coming Seniors. Monday, April 10, Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was a tired group of boys who boarded the bus for the last lap of their ’50 tour. Kenosha via Chicago was the far distant destination. Dinner was again eaten in Chicago, but this lime Buck look us through on the Lak« Shore Drive, The audience at Kenosha was by the far the slimmest. However, we again attributed this to the poor weather. As far as Ted Kuske was concerned, the tour should have ended a day sooner. Stomach flu put him out of cornmission, at least temporarily. Kenosha will be especially remem bered for the second tenors' breathtaking rendition of tlieir solo in “How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place”. Since the concert had begun at 7:30, an early start for home was made possible. The ride home was not conducive to sleep, to say the kast. At eleven o’clock we were once more on the good old Northwestern campus. It was a tour which will be long remembered, rich in experiences which will be fondly related for years to come. The sentiment was pretty well summed up by one chorus member, “Give me two days of rest, and I’ll be ready to start all over again.” Don and Mart (with the help of a log kept by Dick Danner) 4

RED HUNTING, MY FAVORITE OUTDOOR SPORT G« R*

Most people have a favorite outdoor sport. Many people enjoy active outdoor sports such as skiing, bicycling or swim ming. Others prefer more passive sports as for instance ice boating, horseback riding or fishing. My favorite, hunting, I put in a class all by itself. By the word hunting I do not mean just the killing of game, but everything that goes with it from the acquaintance with the firearm to the preparing and eating of the game taken. I had always wanted to be a good hunter some day. I found that there is much to know about this sport, much more than usually meets the eye. Of primary importance to the hunter is his weapon. It is a dangerous object if it is not in good condition. Moreover it must have good sights and be adequate in size and power for the game to be hunted. We would not use a .22 for hunting bear, nor would we use a deer rifle for hunting squirrels. It is not enough to know that the gun we use has good sights and is in good condition. We have to get the feel of the gun by what is called “dry practice.” This practice is obtained by taking the gun from its rack two or three times a day and then going through the processes from aiming through to reloading while pretending to shoot imaginary game. This method of practice should be kept up until the gun feels like one of our members and the processes have become mechanical. Now we will go to the target range and find out how the gun shoots. At the range we will set our sights. Then we must practice until we can hit the mark nearly every time. We will also have to practice estimating distances so that we can hit any mark at any distance. This will take more practice because we must take into consideration the drop of the bullet due to grav ity. It takes much practice, but it will pay off immediately. The reward of a good shot comes quickly when in the field. We will then bring down the game which we have found. But this sport of hunting is not only killing, as some people seem to think. The more obvious features are healthful exercise, sharpening the power of observation, grace in movement and increasing our knowledge. In order to fijnd the game in the woods, we must acquaint ourselves with the habits of the ani5

RED mals we wish to hunt. This is usually a process which is slow because it is not good to generalize before we have found many instances to substantiate our ideas. The game in the field today is not stupid. They are sly and deceptive. We must be on our toes lest they fool us. If we are observant when in the woods, we will learn much more about natural history than we can out of any book. Now that we have taken our game, we must dress it and prepare it for the frying pan. This job usually is unpleasant and often tedious for the novice. With a little practice and some helpful advice from an old hand at the hunting game, the tricks of the sport will soon be mastered. And does wild game taste good when it is well prepared! Then also comes the satÂ isfaction of having taken the game ourselves, but eating is the best reward of the hunt. Let us get out into the woods more often! We will take a gun along during open season and see if we can outwit the game and get a good meal or two for ourselves. Every time we go into the woods we will learn something new. If we are careful of other people and their property, of the protected game, the legal limit and especially of the woods, we will enjoy ourselves often in this wonderful sport of hunting.

RED KINDER ELLA, DAS ARME KID Es war once upon a Zeit, in der alten country, ein family wer equality and justicekeit do not prevailen at all. In diese family war several Schwesters. Der youngeste, Kinder Ella, war ein gut kid, aber sie hatte zwei terrible Schwesters who machte her do alle die dirty work herum die Haus. Sie war al most ein Slave, aber her zwei Schwesters lebte wie queens. Dann, eines Tages, there war ein ganz grosz ball bei der Country Club. Kinder Ella’s Schwesters hatte themselves all upgedressed und pretty gemacht. Aber Kinder Ella, der arme kid, could nichtgehen, weil sie didn’t have kein schoene clothes zu wearen. Die poor Dinge war ganz sad im Herz, und sat bei die fire und weepte wie unmoeglich. Dann, aber also kam ihre god-Mutter und sagte, “Na, kid, was ist los?” Und Kinder Ella hatte sie alle her troubles getold. So die god-Mutter gepromised Kinder Ella das she would mach ein pumpkin zu ein chariot turnen. Es war aber ein hitch connected, Sie musz bei 12 Uhr wieder backkommen, oder else! Sie war ueberjoyed und fast pink getickled. Und sure genug, 'venn der evening kam, alles was sie war gepromised hat true gekommen. Sie war mit der king’s Sohn moste des Abends, even though er didn’t weisz who she war. Aber nun kam der time wenn sie musz get the dickens aus von there. So she lauft. Aber sie verlost ein von her glass Schuhen. Der prince trippte die Treppe down sehr fast after sie, aber sie war already gedisappeared. Ei, Katz! He war ganz gefrustrated. So er hatte declared — “Die lucky babe wer dies shoe fits will mein wifebekomen.” Alle die schoene und ugley girls tried to mach es geh on, aber der prince sagte, “Fraid not, Frauleins.” Wenn er kam zu der Haus wo Kinder Ella war geliving, her zwei Schwesters war ganz excited und tried wie unmoeglich zu get their grosze size 10’s in des kleine slipper. Ei, Katz! Es war like trying zu get Rose in Stache’s Hosen. Da kam Kinder Ella zu der foreground. No! Wha hoppen? Seine kleine del icate Fusz slippte in der slipper ganz perfectly. Da war her zwei Schwesters sehr heiz unter dem Kollar bekommen, und hat 7

RED almost off dem Handle geflohen. Aber Kinder Ella war happy wie ein lark. So der prince und Kinder Ella war gemarried, und wohnte happily immer after. Und was ist von die terrible Schwesters bekommen? They hatte fast tot gefalien from der shock. Contributed by Norbert Meier.

B. A.t P. K. by J. A. H.

Mr. Thomas Wood, B. A., P. K. — everybody at once real izes that Mr. Wood is a Bachelor of Arts, the graduate of some liberal arts course and therefore an educated man. But people would only look askance at the P. K. and wonder at the impor tance of these two letters. Now if this abbreviation were used, they would know immediatly that this man had led a childhood somewhat different from that of most people, and thus acquired a special type of education—he had been a Preacher’s Kid. It is not the minister’s children themselves who encourage this distinction, (in fact, they soon develop a distaste for it), but rather the people who point out how much blacker black is with a P. K. behind it. And the more people watch, the better spectacle the minister’s child feels constrained to present. Ac tually they are neither miserable nor displeased with their lot when they are alone, but who likes being left out of the crowd. When a triple-header mission festival Sunday comes up, the distinction also becomes rather burdensome for anybody who would rather be outside playing—the minister’s family must at tend all the services. The children dare not be like the little boy who proudly informed the visiting pastor that they had to go to church three Sundays in a row. The rather embarrassed guest could only reply that, if he had listened to the sermons, he would pass the test next Sunday and make it four. The preacher’s children are also something of a curiosity to their playmates. They sometimes make statements that sound very odd to their friends. Imagine the reaction when one pastor’s son called his little playmate a sinner because she wouldn’t play the games he wanted her to. Another made a unique con tribution to the general entertainment when he was engaged for two cents to speak a table prayer in German. The graduate who has his P. K. will always keep the motto 8

RED of his Alma Mater firmly engraved in his memory—“And your dad’s a minister too!n—together with the appropriate gasps. Not so long ago a woman confidentially informed her fellowbus rider, “You know, preachers really are just like other peo ple. Of course, they can’t go into taverns and have fun, but that’s why they like to have friends come in and visit them.” And that’s the way it is with preacher’s kids — they’re really just like other people, only they’ve got the benefit of a special kind of training and really ought to get their P. K. for it.

EVOLUTION The Monkeys Viewpoint Three monkeys sat in a Cocoanut tree Discussing things as they’re said to be. Said one to the others, “Now listen you two, There’s a certain rumor that can’t be true. That man descended from our noble race — The very Idea! It’s a dire disgrace. No monkey ever deserted his wife, Starved her baby and ruined her life. And You’ve never known a mother monk To leave her baby with others to bunk, Or pass them on from one to another ’Til they hardly know who is their mother. And another thing! You will never see A monk build a fence ’round a cocoanut tree And let the cocoanuts go to waste Forbidding all other monks a taste. Why if I put a fence around this tree Starvation would force you to steal from me, Here’s another thing a monk won’t do, Go out at night and get on a stew Or use a gun or club or knife To take some other monkey’s life. Y«s! man descended, the ornery cuss, But brother he didn’t descend from us.” contributed by M. Schroecler. 9

RED BUILDING PROGRAM by M. W,

Thanks to the mildest winter Wisconsin has enjoyed in many a year, work on the building program here on the campus has gone on well ahead of schedule. By the end of March the only major work left to be done on the building which is to house the new heating plant was the pouring of the floor and the installation of doors and windows. This month work has centered mainly on the stage addition to the gym. On March 31, the day that school closed for Eas ter vacation, the large steel beam which is to support the roof above the stage was swung into position. The outer walls of the addition have been rising rapidly, and are now nearing com pletion, even though the bricklayers have been hampered con siderably by an abundance of April showers. With a season able amount of good weather the roof should be on the gym ad dition by the end of April. We might add that this roof will be made of tar paper and pitch over wooden rafters and boards. The roofs of the other two buildings are to be solid slabs of concrete. Work is also well advanced on the ventilation system being installed in the gym in accordance with state building reg ulations.

RED For the past few weeks the radiators of the new heating system have been replacing those of the old system to the ac companiment of electric drills, arc welders, hammers, and an assortment of other tools used for such a job. Students thus were given ample opportunity to test their powers of concen tration, and the professors, to test the strength of their vocal cords. The fumes which the new radiators gave off when heat ed for the first time produced, or increased, a smoking room atmosphere throughout the dormitory. By the time that the students returned from Easter vacation, the old radiators had been replaced in all the old dorm and the south wing of the new dorm: new radiators had also been installed in the gym. Work on the new library building, while showing the least amount of progress, has nevertheless been advancing steadily. The foundation was finished early in March, and by the end of the month the carpenters had begun to build the forms for the first floor slab. By the middle of April almost half of the forms had been built. If the rate can be maintained the first floor slab should be poured early in May. The construction of the floor slab is quite interesting, and perhaps merits a little description. On the planks which make up the bottom of the forms, square tiling is laid in rows about four inches apart. In this space be tween the tiles steel reinforcements are placed and secured, as are the necessary electrical conduits. The tiling is used to re duce the weight of the slab and to serve as sound insulation in the floor. After the concrete has been poured, the tile, rein forcements, and conduits will of course, be imbedded in the floor. We have attempted to give you a very brief sketch of the progress being made on the buildings here on the campus. As the work advances we will give you further information in suc ceeding issues of the Black and Red.

^httartal Looking Backward And Ahead ... aving bid a fond farewell to the old staff, we begin a new volume of the Black and Red—volume LIV number 1. The Black and Red I believe can rightly be called the oldest active organization at Northwestern. However, at times it seems in terest is lagging in the Black and Red and the question has been raised — Why do we have a Black and Red? What is its pur pose? In an attempt to briefly answer these questions I have gone back to the very first issue of the Black and Red published in June of 1897. Here in the introduction of the first issue I found stated what this beginning staff considered the purpose of the founding of this paper. 12

RED “___The chief object of our paper, therefore, will be to establish some means of communication between the institution and its former pupils, to furnish information of what is going on in the college to those living at a distance, and at the same time to keep its readers informed, as far as possible, of what has become of the former students. __ ‘‘It will be our aim so to interest not only former scholars in the welfare and improvement of their Alma Mater, but, if possible, also a larger circle, and to gain the interest and sup port of others, friendly to the cause of education as represented by our college. “At the same time we shall endeaver to furnish such read ing material as will interest the literary and scientific tastes of our readers___ ” With these things in mind we, the new staff, stand at the threshold of another year prepared to do our best to carry out these and a few original precepts. But the duty of publishing the Black and Red does not fall alone on the staff, but also on you. In addition it will mean more to you if you have a hand in publishing it. So, with your cooperation we, the staff, will endeavor to make the Black and Red a bigger and more interesting publication than ever before. R. F.

Manners at Northwestern College ... t^^Wome time ago I was invited to dinner at the home of some friends. During the course of the meal my hostess asked me a rather pointed question. She asked me what kind of table manners we practiced at the college. I looked to see whether I had spilled something or whether I had left my knife lying on the table. I thought back to see whether I had committed any serious breach of table etiquette. I must have taken my time about this deliberation, because when I looked at my hostess, she had the most amused look on her face. She went on to explain that her remark did not pertain to myself (I gave a sigh of re lief), but to some students against whom criticism had been lev eled in regard to their table manners. I did not answer the question, but it did set me to thinking. 13

f；:

How many of us do not have to shout at the top of our lungs to make ourselves heard in the dining hall? How many of us have not acquired or greatly improved our “boarding-house reach?” How many of us have not thrown pieces of carrot, raisins or grape seeds in the dining hall? So we could continue our questionnaire. We come into the dining hall, we wait for the especially prompt ones (it never takes them more than five minutes) to get there. We gradually build up the volume of sound till it swells to the magnitude of the noise in a boiler factory. The inspector wears out the gong as he tries to penetrate the bed lam of sound. Sometimes it is so bad that silence is not arrived at until half of the prayer has been said. The meal begins. We grab for this and lunge for that. (I admit, it does save your voice and strengthen your arm muscles.) The meal is a little greasy, and as we are conveniently sitting near a window, we reach for the draperies and wipe off our hands on them. (This is a decided advantage over our homes. We don’t have drapes there.) Aha!! We have raw carrot sticks today. They are just the right thing to throw at our neighbor whom we don’t like so well. Just as the battle is reaching its climax, the in spector stands up and dinner is over. After waiting for the decibels to cool off, he can usually make himself heard to give thanks. Thus another peaceful and ulcer-inducing meal has ended. Does that description sound familiar to any of you? What are we going to do about it? Should we laugh at it (it isn’t that funny) or should we just shrug our shoulders, say “It isn’t I that’s doing that,” and forget about it? The table manners we pick up and make our own here at school will have an influ ence on us our entire life. Will we be proud to act as we do here in other people’s dining rooms where we have been invited as guests? Whose fault is it that these conditions exist in our dining hall? It is very easy to blame everyone else but ourselves. In a way it is true that certain people who have neglected their responsibilities should shoulder more of the blame. The table monitors or collegiate members at a table could set a better example for the preps and conduct themselves in a better manner. 14

5IRED The head table could be more strict and make a more strenuous effort to control things better. And we, the individuals, could do the biggest job. We can learn to control ourselves, learn to subdue our voices, learn a few, simple rules of table etiquette, and learn what it means to be polite at the table. Let us all get together and make a genuine effort to make our dining hall manners something to be proud of, not someÂ thing to be ashamed of. R. U. S.

Calls: The Rev. Louis E. Piiigel，’39 of Phoenix, Arizona, recently accepted a call to Coleman, Wisconsin. The Rev. John Martin, ’33 of Toledo, Ohio, having regained his health after an illness which forced him to be inactive for a time, he has accepted a call to Sioux City, Iowa. Jerusalem Lutheran Church, Milwaukee, recently extended a call to Rev. Norbert Paustian, ’29 of Oconomowoc. Recent Arrivals: On February twentieth Rev. and Mrs. Frederick Zimmcrinann became the proud parents of a baby girl, Elizabeth I'-IIcn. Rev. Zimmennann is a graduate of the class of ^8 and resides in Laiising, Michigan. The Rev. and Mrs. Leonard Schmidt of East Ncwlon, Iowa, recently announced the birth of a healthy, bouncing baby. Rev. Schmidt is a graduate of the class of ’45. A recent arrival at the home of the Rev. Paul Knickelbein, ’42, is a healthy baby boy. Rev. Knickelbein, formerly of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, has accepted a call lo Ishpeming, Michigan, but has been unable to find housing for his family there. 、 Engagements:

The Rev. Raymond Frey, ^8, of Hemlock, Michigan, and Miss Ethel Zimniermann recently announced their engagement. At present Miss Zimniermann is a teacher in Owosso, Michigan. During the Easter holidays Philip Janke, ’47, presently a stu dent at the Seminary, and Miss Naomi Gerlacli announced tlicir engagement. No date has been set for the wedding. Herbert Kuske, ?44, a tutor at Michigan Lutheran Seminary, and Miss Lorraine Spiekerniann have set the date of their wed ding for June twenty-fourth. 16

Ja, they say this column should begin with a poem, or rather, convention sort of demands it. So then, not to appear too much on the nutty side (altliough it’s fortunately true), let’s shoot the works: The man who’s gonna write Dis here column, C and C, Should never have been bom, As you’re gonna see. With the proud exit of “Mummy” And with his better half called Janke, It's gonna be hard and funny To find another such a donkey. But “Gassy” Frohmader has called ’N has given orders that say: “In years past I’ve bawled, ’Cuz I couldn’t have my way. So dis year you fellas are gonna write. Write your finger to the bone ’Cuz I want dis paper filled With junk by the toil.” *

So now the shot lias been fired. But before this “wandering Jew” of a pencil of mine goes too far, the new staff members have heartily “requested” a bit of biographical introduction. Move over Betsy, we’re flying in. 17

RED Holding down the captaincy of our noble ship of “red’’ is none other than “Gas” Frohmader, by whose regularity and timing the Naval Observatory in Washington, D. C., synchronizes its chronometers. (By the way, he pulled out of Business-managership right after he put Old Faithful B & R in the red.) Whenever “Gas’s” “educated” pen fails to produce, he’ll find able assistance in the hands of M. Westerhaus, the sole scion of the faculty on the staff. And supplementing “Rusty” will be Glibbed Tongue” of volume LI 11, whose linguistic and corny tales in the C and C column have thrilled many an old maid’s heart. Martin Janke. For further info on his character and nature, consult any number of volume LI'II, C & C column. —Phooey! Satisfying the curiosity of the alumni will be our janitor and royal flush ist Tenor, Kermit Biedenbender. (P.S. “Biedy”，I’m writing this under cover of a cap, jacket, and a scarf as the radiators seem to have gone on strike 一COLD! ! !) To hear “Biedy” warble really puts old “Buck” Caruso to shame. —Oh yes, Kermit will appreciate hearing from any alumnus (a) who has any interesting material for Alumni Notes — right “Biedy”？ T，'vould be folly and vain To mention the name Of the editor of the C and C. For he’s crazy as a bat, Doesn’t know where he’s at, Hey, wait! 一 that’s me. A more able man couldn’t be had to supply the tips and news for the sports section than Don Bitter. He really knows his stuff (I hope), for experientia docet (tlmt’s what they tell us in school). He will succeed “Hermann” Fricke, who has retired. The purse strings of our now nearly empty Geldbeutel is “Herby” “Books” Jaster. As aforementioned, “Gas” Frolimader left the money supply mighty low and it’ll be lip to “Hei.l)y to change the color of the ink in the books from red to black. The two gents who will be going out for track soon on the ad route as Advertising Managers are Jack “Einstein” Denninger and John “Stein'vay” Ilabeck. jack staunchly defends Minnesota (even with a Spanish War musket) as his home state. Frosh Habeck timidly confesses Wisconsin to be his home territory; naturally he will plug the South Side route. Cave the pretty office girls, John, (no comments from his predecessor dare here be printed). So there is the new staff. A pretty feeble bunch of Krautheads. no? If you don’t like their literary Noble Prize stuff, why simply compose an editorial. Jefferson Frolimader accepts anything — free. 氺

RED Wo'v! Where ya goin’ fellas ? Who're the babes ? — Oh, thet’s just the Seniors all dressed up going to the Profs.’ houses for the traditional Senior suppers. Guess the fellas all agree that the Kiess ling cliili is the best there is, even beats that made in Chile. — Hea1* that Hollywood has its talent scouts' around, after they heard of the wonderful theatrical ability demonstrated by the Eickmann IMay Company, I ncorp.

It seems that Soutlipaw Fricke could hardly wait until Spring opened its doors of wistful charm. While seated in the classroom one day, he slowly wound up and delivered a fast left in the form of a flying book. Jonathan "Beethoven, Gerlach, Bralims” Schaller seemed to have been standing too close to home plate, for his specs promptly left their place of residence and collapsed on the floor. —Strike Three, Yur Out! !

Cough, cough, wheeze, gasp, cough! — Where’s the window ? Similar cries for help have been heard as fellas come crawling out of their rooms blue and reeking of freshly burnt radiators, (well at least the paint or something was burning) If we all don’t have pe-neumonia, ulcers and constriction of the lungs in due time, t’won’t be the radiators’ fault.

Can't forget the long awaited choir tour. If Prof. Oswald had known what a bunch of ravenous, devourous, cannibal-lish, vul turous bachelor-wolves he had in his choir, 50 to 1 he would have ......... Well, boys (?) must be boys—: “eyes right — wow! is that a dish!’’ 一 “eyes left” 一 “A、v, where’s your glasses ?’’ 一 “Haven’t I met you somewhere before?” 一 “Hope we stay at her house tonight.” 一 Even the “married men” of the chorus were having a great time — eh, Marv and Dick? 19

RED Quote from the choir: “Going downtown, Buck? 一 Coming back? — You driving?” “Have a tube, Hank.” “In case of fire, call Meier.” “Chick, what’s the $64 question ?” “Open the window 一 give me air.” • “Who，s burning hair — put out that old luink of rope.” ''Tonight we hit paydirt/' (eh, Zimmy?) “O Minnie” (see Jackson for details)— Water fresli?” 一 “August sollst mal ’ruiiter komm’ ” 氺

Chaff garnered on the tour: Second to Whistler’s mother, the most important name connected with Whistler is Iioenecke. (my what fancy tunes!) — for info on what and how much personal junk to transport on a clioir tour, consult T. V. Ylvisaker. — “Brownie” Sellnow and “Jim” Fricke always arrived “punctially” at the bus, although there were times when they were delayed; ask ’em for particulars about a certain Buick dealer in Wayne, Mich. — The meals and the lack of exercise started a few fellas aworrying: Gerlach was even think ing about a girdle; Zimmerman increased so voluminously that his faithful suit refused to be made into a sausage; so it burst forth in complaint, leaving “Zim” with an embarrassing pair of trousers.— The current topic of discussion was the weather. Prior to entering Michigan the Michiganders boldly promised us loads of sunny Florida weather, which turned out to be Florida in the Monsoon season. Then “Carl/’ Voss assured us that the sun never sets in Ohio. True — but it was blanketed out by a heavy covering of nice fluffy snow. 一 Several of the choir members returned with another handle attached to their name: Norbert Gieschen, frequently known as Nubs”, was dubbed “Nibs” by a certain young lady. He also was given a genuine underworld alias, “Baby Face”. Lawrence Melchoir Biedenbender was at times referred to as the **Jewish Tenor”, (no slander upon the Palestinians, Kermit.)

Most of you will probably look for baseball news in this is sue but you will search in vain. Up to the time of this writing the weather has been such that it has been impossible to begin baseball practice. However, in keeping with the season and not to disappoint you completely, there follows an account of a baseball game played in Northwestern’s “Golden Era”，as print ed in the local paper on May 4, 1905. ___“Am Mittwoch den 3. Mai spielten die Studenten der hiesigen Northwestern Universitaet Baseball mit den Studenten der Universitaet von Notre Dame, eines groszen, weltbekannten Colleges aus Indiana. An 500 Zuschauer waren auf dem Campus und zeigten das regste Interesse. Die Spieler beider Parteien bekamen viel Aufmunterung von ihren Anhaengern. Die Schueler des hiesigen Sacred Heart College, welches mit Notre Dame in Verbindung steht, lieszen fuer ihre Freunde, die Hoosiers, ein lustiges Hurrah ertoennen. Anfangs waren beide Seiten gleich, inderdritten Inning bekamen sie jede zwei Scores. In den beiden naechsten stieg der Score der Northwesterns zu sechs. Darnach begingen sie etliche Fehler und lieszen Notre Dame vier Scores einbringen. Am Ende des Spiels war das Resultat Northwestern 8, Notre Dame 6. Schon im dritten Inning muszten die Notre Dames ihren Pitcher abloesen und einen anderen einsetzen. Beide zusammen schlugen neun Mann aus. Kumm, der brilliante Pitcher der Northwestern dagegen schlug 12 aus. Unter den Northwestern Spielern zeichneten sich, auszer dem Pitcher, besonders aus Wendland durch ein groszes “Home-Run”，Whyte, Sohn des hiesigen Arztes, durch sein tuechtiges Spielen am 3. Base, Luedtke am Centre Field. Es war eines der besten Games, die seit Jahren in Wa tertown stattgefunden haben, und da Notre Dame ein viel groeszeres College ist, was Schuelerzahl anbelangt, so freut sich 22

RED Northwestern und seine Freunde ganz besonders ueber diesen Sieg! It is evident due to this shellacking at the hands of the pow erful Northwestern Goslings that has caused Notre Dame to drop Northwestern as an athletic opponent. This year, thanks to Mr. Chase of Chase’s Bowling Alleys, a tournament was held exclusively for N. W. C. students. Va rious prizes were awarded for the best scores.

OUR SISTER SCHOOL IN OBERURSEL, GERMANY by R. P.

This is the first in what I hope may prove to be a series of articles designed to acquaint the reader with some lesser known branch or institution supported by or connected with thee Syno dical Conference. This first article will concern our Lutheran Theological Seminary at Oberursel, Germany. At present there are two stu dents, Harris Kaesemeyer and Philip Press, from our Seminary at 、 Thiensville attending this school. This is the institution which you, the students of Northwestern, have been aiding by your monthly contributions for Care packages for the past three years. The Seminary, formerly situated on the outskirts of Berlin, was founded by the Saxon Free Church and the old Prussian Free Church. Since the spring of 1948 it has been relocated on the out skirts of the city of Oberursel—population ca. 15,000—about seven miles from Frankfort on the Main. The school is now supported by the newly united Lutheran Free Churches made up of the Saxon Free Church, the Breslau Free Church, the Independent Lutheran Free Churches of Baden, Hesse and Lower Saxony, and by our own Refugee Mission. The purpose of this school, as of our own 24

RED Seminary, is solely to prepare ministers for service in the support ing churches there. At present the student body consists of thirty-five students. Fourteen of these are refugees, two are from the U. S., thirteen are from the Eastern Zone and only six are from the Western Zone. Of the six only three are living in their pre-war houses. The homes of all the rest have been destroyed. Many of them have suffered bodily injuries during the war and the greater number of them were ’ prisoner of war camps for a year or more and have gone through in periods of acute starvation. Some of these are over thirty years of age, but have returned to devote themselves to the Lord’s work. The faculty is made up of four professors. Rector Oescli, who teaches systematic theologoy and Professor Kirsten, practical theolo gy, are both from the Saxon Free Church. Professor Kiunke, his torical theology, and Professor Laabs, systematic and Biblical tlieology, are both from the Old Prussian Free Church. The houses of Professors* Kiunke and Laabs were also destroyed. Their school year is arranged a bit different from ours. A school year is made up of two semesters, which together comprise seven months of school. Between the first and second semester there are two months of vacation. The rest of the free time occurs after the second semester. Ordinarily during these vacations the student is almost duty- bound to rework the material which has been lectured upon11 in the foregoing semesters, because of the manner and wealth of material presented in the lectures. Then at the end of either six or eight semesters he receives stiff final exam inations. These are the only examinations and credits that count. The standards are high in Germany. Nevertheless the students are forced frequently to interrupt their studies in order to earn enough money to continue their education. Harris Kasemeyer reports that his expenses for the first semester, including room, board, books and studying expenses, amounted to about $125.00. The students must be able to find work in order to continue school, but work is very scarce in Germany. Most of the students earn their money by manual labor and only a few are able to study theology on the side. In order to assist the students, employment projects have been set up at the school itself. The students are hired to do the work of building the school buildings and professors’ houses, laying sewer pipe and building roads, and other work connected with the school. For this they receive twenty-five cents an hour. Prices in most cases are the same as those in this country. Considering the adverse conditions that these students have there, we must admit that we have it easy here. There each student must contribute twenty hours of labor without pay each semester 25

RED to the school. Few students are able to buy a suit or get one from home. Most of them are so poor that they can buy only a very few books. Yet, a pastor should have a library. We have received appeals from them for lielp in whatever form we may be able to give it. Money is needed to help those students who are nearing the end of their schooling so that they can devote their entire time to their work. Food is also needed and anything in the way of German theological literature is appreciated. It would be well for us here at Northwestern to stop and con sider what these men are going through to prepare themselves for (he ministry in com parison with what we put forth. I think wc could learn to appreciate much more the blessings which the Lord has showered upon us.

COLLISION f»i IRRSINNIG

An Introduction by Dr. ITedov Scement I. Dr. Iledov Scemcnt, professor of world drama at Pigsti University li;ivc been requested to write a brief introduction to the latest work of my good friend and master dramatist, Irrsinnig liinicli. Since we liave lickl each other in the highest regard since boyhood, this is to be a labor of love and pleasure. It is my firm conviction that Binicli, with this play, has earned the right to stand on tlie same pedestal with such modern giants as Ibsen and O’Neill. Ibsen reached his zenith in his dramas of social realism, while O'Neill excels in gripping expressionism. In this his latest and probably greatest play, Binich shows himself to be the master of his favorite medium, that of “literalism”. The use of literalism vividly portrays the heights of dramatic comedy and/or tragedy which can be readied when a man is understood literally, or when a figure of speech is dissected and understood word for word. By the use of this medium Binich lays open the very soul of his char acters, showing at tlie same time the shining nobility and the utter depravity of which a human being is capable. He is a classicist inasmuch as Ire adheres strictly to the three unities of the ancient Greeks: unity of place, time and action. If he has a fault it is probably the fact tliat bis plots are not exceptionally elaborate. His surprise endings also set him apart from the ordinary. Let it now suffice to say that his dramas are majestic and powerful, and that Ik* belongs for all time among the master builders of the dramatic art. As for the writer himself, his personal life was hardly something to emulate. He was born in t 883, the son of a notable gangster. He received his elementary education in tlie Chain-Gang Re form School in lower Brooklyn. In 1903 he received his degree in 26

RED rope-making at Sing-Sing, from which place he escaped three years later. Most of his adult years were also spent behind bars, having done time for everything from bank robbery to bootlegging. He died in Alcatraz in 1931. But we must take our geniuses as we get them. May the drama speak for itself! A DRAMA IN ONE ACT AND ONE SCENE By IRRSINNIG BINICH

DRAMATIS PERSONAE TITUS CANBEE — A rich old miser with a wooden leg. 1DONE GETCHA — His pea-brained (0I1 yeali?) chauffeur. SCENE: (A telephone pole along an isolated, lonely country road. The pole has an automobile wrapped around it. The two occupants have just crawled out from the wreckage unscathed (physically, mind you!). A farmhouse stands down the road approximately one half mile. The time is 5 P.M. TITUS: (Bending over, rubbing the bruised shin bone of liis wooden leg, almost (kspairingly) Wliat a mess! I say, what a mess!! IDONE: (Craning his neck to pick a piece of lint off the left shoulder of his uniform) Yes, master, what a mess! What a mess!! TITUS: (With a sigh) Well, Idone, I presume you may as well call the wrecker. IDONE: (Looking puzzled) The wrecker? But why the wrecker, master? Didn't I do a good enough job for you? Isn’t the car smashed enough already, without calling a wrecker to demolish it completely ? TITUS: (Understandingly) Wliat I meant was, we had better call a tow truck. IDONE: You must be mistaken. I know of no such truck. I vc heard of a Chevrolet truck, a Ford truck, ancl a Dodge truck, but never of a tow truck. Are you sure you aren’t mistaken, master ? TITUS: I mean that you are to call up for someone to help us out. IDONE: (His eyes brightening) Oil, surely, now I know what you mean, master. (Throws his head back, cups his hands around his mouth, and bellows into the air) HELLO UP THERE! WILL YOU HELP US OUT, PLEASE? TITUS: No! No! What I mean is that you should make a telephone call to a garage and have them come out and help us. IDONE: (Looking troubled again) But master, you must remem ber I am no magician, I am not almighty. How could you 27

RED ever expect me to make a telephone call? Why, a telephone can’t even speak. TITUS: (Reddening) You lout! I’m beginning to believe you’re deliberately misunderstanding me. Now go and give that garageman ring before I............ IDONE: (In a shocked tone) But my master! I am in love with a farmer's daughter. I am to be married in two months. Certainly you are not so cruel as to force me to take the ring from her finger and give it to someone else, and a garageman at that! TITUS: (Growing ever more and more crimson) You idiot you!! If you don’t this instant cease deliberately misinterpreting my speech I’ll box your ears! JDONE: (Growing a bit angry himself) Yes, I always thought you had a yellow streak down your spine, master. Box my ears! My poor defenseless ears! Box all of me or nothing at all, you coward. TITUS : (Mis eves shooting fire, swinging his walking stick above his head) \\rhy you mangy cur! i’ll beat the tar out of you! I DONE: Tar? Tar? VVliv, T haven’t had any tar for three weeks. That last meal of the stuff you gave me I used to poison the neighbor's cat. I couldn’t possibly have any tar in me any more. TITUS: (Advancing on I clone, fists clenched, eyes blazing, jowls dripping) You . . . you slimy viper! I’ll give you a knuckle sandwich you’ll never forget! IDONE: (Backing away) Then you still like me, master? Pig knuckles, my favorite delicatessen. But why put them into a sandwich ? it’s difficult enough to separate the meat from the gristle without having to worry about the bread in there too. TITUS: (A broken man, he falls sobbing to earth, his face in his hands) I give up! I give up!! 1DONE: (His face suddenly lighting up with anticipation, quickly kneels at his weeping master's side) You give up? You give up, master ? You give up what ? TITUS : (Sobbing convulsively) I give up ... I give up my ... I give up my whole estate to you, upon my death. I.DONE: (Jumping to his feet, his face wreathed in smiles) Thank you ever so much, master! Now Pll go give the garage a buzz. (As lie walks off the stage, laughing fiendishly, he looks around and winks at the audience). THE END

RED BREAKFAST SCHMIEL

Setting: The home of a more prosperous than average peasant, anywhere in Egypt, during the IV. Dynasty Characters: Phishtai — the man of the house Krukri — his wife. Bobo— —their son. 氺

Krukri: 'Thisliey, put down that papyrus and talk to me.” Phishtai: “Yes, clear.” Krukri: “I don’t see why you have to read during breakfast.” Pliislitai: *'Wdl, I just happened to notice the headlines. That grasp ing Pharaoh has raised the taxes again. I wish he’d drop dead. Besides, I’m geting sick of always eating the same thing for breakfast. Why don’t you make it with wheat for a change, instead of with barley?” Krukri: How do you expect me to feed you with wheat on my budget? Maybe if you wouldn’t roll dice behind the levee when you’re supposed to be working on the pyramid, weM have more money. You never win anything. Some day you’ll get caught, and then I’ll be a widow.” Pliislitai: “Aw, I don，t see why that show-off has to have such a big pyramid in the first place. Once they park his carcass in it he won’t know the difference anyway. We might just as well throw him into the river.” Krukri: “Why I think that pyramid is a fine idea. Just think, a few thousand years from now people will see it and wonder at our marvelous civilization.” Phishtai: “Schmaltz! Our marvelous civilization has already cost me three smashed fingers. Those blocks are heavy. Say, is the coffee ready yet?” Krukri: “Yes, just a minute till I take the barley-bag out of the pot. There, now let’s talk about something besides politics and your gripes.” Phishtai: “What else is there to talk about ? Nothing’s been going right lately.” Krukri: “How about that trip we’re going to make to our dead monarch’s mastaba ? It’s about time we went.” 30

Phishtai: “Yeali, I suppose he’s getting hungry by now. Oh, well, let him starve! He’s the guy who appropriated my best land.” Krukri: “You can’t blame him for taking it. Remember that time he especially saw to it that your irrigation ditches were cleaned out? Then that same year you got the bright idea of raising muskmelons for a roadside stand. Of all the stupid things lo do!” Phishtai: “It could have worked. The gods were just against me because I flirted with Nut. Anyway, she really played up to mo first, and a peasant has no right to snub the sky-goddess.” Krukri: “So that’s what happened. You’ll hear more about this!” Bobo: “Hi, mom! Hi, Pop! What’s there to eat?” Phishtai: “Barleymush. And don’t complain. Your mother's on the warpath this morning, and so am I.” Bobo: “I’m not hungry anymore. Besides, I don’t know my reading lesson.” Krukri: “You’d better study it then. After all, you wouldn't want to be like your father, would you?” Bobo: “I’ll say not! Where’s my tablet?” Krukri: “Just where you left it last night.” Bobo: “I know, but where’s that?” Krukri: “Oil Re, that child!—. It’s in the corner with your slingshot.，，. Bobo: ‘Tvegot it.” Phishtai: “Say, Krukri, since when have you been bringing up that child not to be like his father ? Farming is a good occupation.” Krukri: “Just remember your mashed fingers, and keep quiet.” Phishtai: “Yes, maybe you’re right. Well, I’d better get ready to go. It’s still my turn to work at that pile of stone.” Krukri: “Here comes the seven o’clock oxcart. You’ll have to hurry to catch it. Good-bye, dear.” Phishtai: “Good-bye.”

An auditing committee, appointed by the chairman and com prised of Pastors J. Martin Raasch, R. C. Hillemann, and R. C. Stienke, was confirmed by the society. 32

RED It was resolved to suspend the article on the election of officers of the society and to instruct the secretary to cast a general secre tarial ballot for the old officers. Following are the officers of the society : president, Prof. Walter A. Schumann; first vice-president, Pastor W. A. Zank; second vice-president, Prof. E. A. Wendland; secretary, Pastor W. O. Pless; treasurer, Prof. T. F. Binhammer; chronicler, Prof. Carleton Toppe. Prof. E. E. Kowalke, chairman of the committee which had been authorized in the 1948 meeting to find a suitable means of transportation for the college athletic teams, reported that as yet no suitable conveyance had been found and that when the committee did find one it would immediately, by the authority given it in the •’ 1948 meeting, circularize the alumni, inform them of their find, and receive the moneys necessary for its purchase. It was also reported that thus far ten dollars had been contributed for that purpose. A committee, composed of Pastor W. Zank and Professors E. Schroeder and R. Gehrke, which had been appointed to make plans for the society’s part in the celebration of Synod's 100th anniver sary, submitted the following report: Committee on the Alumni Society7 s Part in the Celebration of Synod’s 100th Anniversary Resolution, June 9, 1948: “that the president and the secretary appoint a committee which shall make plans for the Alumni So ciety's part in the celebration of Synod’s 100th anniversary.” Your committee recommends that the Northwestern College Alumni Society participates in the celebration of Synod’s 100th An niversary by making available to the science department and the library of Northwestern College the sum of $1100. Of this amount $750 shall be used in the purchase of instructional films for the science department and $350 for a card catalog cabinet in the li brary. Your committee further recommends that in presenting this gift the Society does not draw on present assets. E. M. Schroeder R. Gehrke Walter E. Zank It was resolved to adopt the entire report of this committee. It was also resolved that the treasurer be authorized to use the dues of the current year, June 8, 1949 to June 8, 1950, for the purposes recommended in the committee’s report. The suggestion was made that the members of the society voluntarily increase their contributions for this year. 33

RED Prof. E. C. Kiessling reported that th« filming of Northwestern College and its activities had been completed and that the com mentary for this film and the recording of it would be completed in the near future. Prof. Kiessling recommended that Pastors Ed win Jaster and Charles Found, who had sacrificed much of their time in making the film, be given an honorarium for their work. Thereupon it was resolved to give each of these men $100.00 for their services, this amount to be taken from the society's treasury. The report of the treasurer, having been examined by the audit ing committee and attested as correct, was adopted. Adjournment. W. O. Pless, Secretary

The Annual Meeting of the Alumni Society will be held at Northwestern College on Wednesday, June 7, at 3:00 P. M.

At 5:30 a luncheon will be served in the College dining hall. A concert by the Male Chorus will begin at 8:00 P. M.

^hitortal The Grapes Of Wrath .. SiND those grapes were sour. The Joads from Oklahoma were real people. Their problems were real. It seemed to them that the whole world was fighting against them. Still they kept in there pitching. They knew they could never be licked until they themselves gave up. The movie ended without telling us whether the Joads won or lost, but it left them plodding forward with hope in their hearts. We like to think that the type for which the joads stood lias disappeared from the American scene. Well, they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. They might look different to us today or we may look the other way and say they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist, but they are here and they seem to be here to stay. In my opinion the movie was realistic but still very good. J.G.R. 35

RED Arise And Shine . ■ number of years ago I saw a cartoon showing two hobos Pk** lying under a tree..The sun had gone farther on its course and the two hobos no longer lay in the shade. Noticing the situation, the one lazily raised his head and said to the other, “Aw, why move, the shade will be back tomorrow.” The extreme amount of ambition and energy expressed by that cartoon reminds me of the spirit of our student body as a whole. Take our athletic events, for example. How much cheering do you hear? How often weren’t even the cheerleaders absent this last basketball season ? How often do we have “pep fests”？ How often do our teams get a rousing send-off ? When these things don’t hap pen, who cares ? Do we ever do anything about these conditions except maybe talk a little bit? Do we ever remind ourselves that we aren’t deaf-mutes ? Consider our school itself. How often don't wc run clown our institution 一 its facilities, faculty, and curriculum ? How often do we voice even that little bit of pride that egotism 一 the idea that ⑽are going to this school — prompts ? Look at our organizations. When some few brave souls try to keep something like a literary society going what happens? Do we as a student body show any appreciation of their efforts ? How often isn’t the announcement of their meetings greeted with contemptuous remarks and corny jokes? How do the attendance records of the organizations under faculty direction look? So what???? Well, we could drop all athletic activities and organizations, or if we really are as bored as we look, we could leave the school altogether; but a far saner solution would be this that we all individ ually prop up liat pins, sit on them, and then • • .

Hey, still alive? — You mean that wet, damp and otherwise sty spring weather didn't freeze you up? Well, then maybe this nice balmy and golden weather we’re having now (only one day) might raise your dank spirits somewhat. 氺

氺

Students lazy, Profs just “crazy”？ That’s the sign of spring. Baseballs cracking, Red lips smacking, Spring’s a joyful thing. * 氺 Yep, spring is really here. One almost began to think that Mamma Nature forgot to turn the page of the calendar for poor ole’ upper Midwest. But “variety is the spice of life”，and we did have variety in the weather. When we talk of weather ’round about this time, the topic of Arbor Day naturally arises, and this year’s was of course no exception, especially since the Sophomore class duly rendered its distinctive office of MceremoniouslyM planting a tree. The Day started off with a bang, with the Juniors premature ly choosing a Tuesday (to the horror of the Sophs — 4 periods). The lucky ole* sun was just riding around in the sky, preps were green with envy at one another for smoking, and everybody was working (except the Seniors — they were apparently on their honor). To the enjoyment and entertainment of all, the combined efforts of “Jack” Denninger and “Bob” Schlicht with their ampli fier outfits gave the campus a jazzy atmosphere. At mid A.M. 38

RED “Erv” Bilse tossed out bushel baskets of lunch to the “slave” gangs. The climax of A.D. arrived “punctually” at 1:15 in the afternoon when the Sophomores marched in close rank and file to the installa tion of their choice tree, a sturdy mountain ash. Arbor Diei Arboris On good old Arbor Day Amidst the work and play, A tree was planted fair— You still can see it there. From Minnesota it doth hail, A mountain ash still very frail. It is a tree of splendor So please don’t bend her.* For if you do, she’ll die. JCause she ain't very high. * (don’t know the gender of the tree, so “slie” will have to do.) But all is not well that begins well. About mid afternoon rain arrived and put the clamper on everybody. The adventurous Sophs nevertheless held their weeney roast while holing-up in a cattle pass. * The romantic spring air Combined with Cupid’s darts Has set the flames of Amor Aburning in many hearts. Yessiree, bachelorhood is on its way out. Joe “the pin-setter” Gerlach simply had to trek way back home to “hunt” for a job. But by all reports, there seems to have been other inducements, —eh, Joey? — Then there’s the daring and dashing Romeo of the campus, Dave Kock, whose name shall ne’er be forgotten among the pages of “Love’s Labor Lost”. He’s on the loose again. This time his wanderlust carried him to Appleton to catch the wink of a certain fair damsel in distress. Dave wasn’t to be trusted alone, SO “Bugs” Baer “volunteered” to accompany the “lost” man on the adventure. Other well-known individuals, however, saw fit to take advantage of spring fever right on home territory. “Bigger” Buss and the Zimmermann Co. tried fishing one “lovely” night, with the help of other well-known personages from down town. Unfortunate ly, all that was caught were three suckers, whose Casanovian antics for the next five weeks will be comfined solely to Saturday nights. 39

RED You know, — this place really has real musical talent among its students. I think they ought to call it the center for the preser vation of the modern “classics”. The “Jazz Five” (temporarily the down-beat (and the disbanded) can really boil and sizzle off-beat too) once they get going. “Hot Lips” Sellnow really lets his trumpet cook on all three valves while Dave Spangenberg majes tically pounds the ivories. Then Don “Dorsey” Timmel slides in with his golden slush-pump in sweet harmony, accompanied by “Doc” Prenzlow punching keys on a reed. To top it off, Red SommcrfieUl carries the jive rhytlim through on the snare. — It’s hot, don't touch it — real hot jazz! — Also you’ve heard our twanging troubadors singing melodious love ballads while plucking ‘‘guts’’. Naumann and Seeger are currently running stiff competition with Burl Ives, according to the latest poll. — By the way, did you ever see Sclieck” pound out some boogey beats ? Has that boy got rlivtlim! He sure’’ can slap those 88 keys around. — On the vocal side, the Frosli quartet produces good sound barber shop har monies, led by tile* golden voice of Saginaw Mueller and “ovalnioutli” Treiber. — So you see, we do have home talent on the rhythmic side. Campus Lingo: ‘•bucking’’ 一 what every one should do, but doesn’t — studying, relationship be“suck” or “drag” 一 an apparently _ over-friendly .. . tween professor and student resulting in supposedly higher and better marks. “smearing” 一 what no one is supposed to do, but well 一 borrow ing someone else’s knowledge. “shafted” 一 defeated in any attempt “jimmie,” “James”, “Pony” 一 the helpful comentaries necessary for language study. “that’s a lot of bull or that's a crock” 一 both mean approximately the same thing, 一 a bit of untruth. “bum” or “mooch” 一 borrow with the intention of not repaying, “pogey bait” and “pung tang” 一 at present no definition known (miglU see Dave Kock for an explanation) “goof off” —being lazy on the job pecked off” _ extremely angry or hostile to another bitch” 一 and unregistered formal complaint Hey, where’s the heat ? I thought those new radiators were supposed to work better. They don’t even work! — It seems that somewhere along the line air crept into the pipes rendering them heatless. Plumbers A. Spaude and Frohmader quickly solved the 40

I :• :

RED problem by opening the radiators and letting the air out. It didn't last long. Orders from “headquarters” haben’s verboten. 氺

Advertising pays off. Homeward-bound during Easter vacation, R. Buss secured a ride with an apparently friendly motorist. I »esides Bob’s “penniless” facial expression he gave Bob a lift on account of the NW on his suitcase. — Was he fooled when he found out it didn't mean: “no work”! 一 Anything for a ride. Can You Beat This: In the merry month of April Marvy was driving his car; He was getting quite a thrill, But he went a bit too far Ahead a truck was slowing And putting on the brake. Marvy kept on going Smash — flat as a pan cake. 氺

氺

Swiped from Nov. ’23 issue: “Do you use Colgate’s tooth paste?” “No, I don’t room with him this semester.” 氺

Wonderings: Why do the desks in room 71 so mysteriously fall apart ? Why don’t the Sophs like poetry, especially Shelley ? Why do only certain profs always go to conference, and not the others? Why don’t I shut up? Charmin' Charley Says: While many students do indeed possess much frugality, There still is a great need For their having punctuality. * And thus the gossip column comes to the end for a second miserable time. If there is any resemblance to any student, living or trying to, it’s purely intentional. Yours with smoke rings in your eyes, while blowing bubbles in the bathtub. 41

Mission House 5

GOSLINGS WHIP MUSKIES TJmited to four bits by the combined efforts of Spangenberg and Krueger, the Muskies scored their five runs only when the Gosling defense slackened, whereas the Northwestern nine hit the offerings of Ortlepp and Bartzen almost at will, getting one or more bits in all but three innings. Pankow and Manthey were the big guns for the Goslings with three hits apiece, while A. Zimmermann, Hoenecke, and A1 Bitter chipped in with two each, one of Bitter’s being a triple. The Varsity began it’s onslaught early, scoring six runs in the first three innings and adding two in the fifth and two in the seventli. The third proved to be the big inning for the Missionmen, when they squeezed across three runs, on one hit and three errors.

CARTER BLASTS GAME-WINNING HOMER With the game tied at six all in the last of the seventh Carter poled the ball over the left fielder’s head for a round-tripper. By mutual agreement no inning was to begin after 5 :io. Consequently the game ended after eight innings with the Goslings one run ahead by virtue of Carter’s homer. Jim Fricke, stellar lefly, breezed along in fine fashion for six full innings, allowing but l wo singles. Then in the seventh, as a result of three hits and no less llian six errors on the part of the Northwestern defenders, Extension scored six big runs. However, with one run lead going into the eighth, Fricke set the opposition down in order. The Goslings scored their seven runs on as many hits, whereas the Extension batsmen were able to collect but five. Pankow and A. Zimmermann also made their big bats heard with a home run and triple respectively.

NUMBER TWO OVER THE MUSKIES This second victory over Mission House marked the third conference victory for the Northwestern nine. Spangenberg and Krueger again combined efforts on the mound to send the Missionmen down to defeat, but not without the help of some timely hitting by the Gosling sluggers. Behind for five full innings, the Goslings blasted things wide open in the sixth with six runs. This gave Northwestern a three run lead which they never relinquished. The Muskies got one run in each of the sixth and ninth innings, but the Goslings added three of their own to stay well in the lead. A. Zimmermann poked out three singles for Northwestern with brother Roily adding two more, before leaving the game in the sixth with an injured knee.

各ack 1685-1750 ^biitmbcr 5 in an educational series featuring famous Lutherans

■ :f "The Immortal Composer" and his famous family —eourtety o/ Magnavox Collection, fay Wallor Kiehardr. \

Orphaned at an early age, Bach was raised by his elder brother, Johann Christoph. Forbidden to study the masters, Bach’s youth ful devotion to music drove him to secretly copy the great works at night. He went on to become the dominating influence in the music of Mozart and many other accomplished composers. At the peak of his career, Bach earned a salary of $500.00 a year. This sum would be comparable to $3,000.00 in our pres ent day economy. He fathered 20 children, four of whom became famous musicians and composers in their own right. Blind and penniless in later life, Bach was buried in a pauper’s grave and his widow forced to seek refuge in an almshouse where she later died. It seems tragic that the life of the world’s greatest composer should begin and end in great human suffering. How much happier his life would have been had he and his family known the security and comfort of life insurance. /et

THE EARLY YEARS OF WISCONSIN'S LUTHERAN PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS EICKMANN

One hundred and eleven years ago, late in autumn, 1839, A small group of hardy German immigrants arrived at the little lake port of Milwaukee in the Wisconsin territory. Most of these hardhanded farmers and craftsmen had brought wives and children with them on their six months* journey from Pomerania; in fact, it was largely for the children’s sake that they had left their homes to come here. They wanted to bring up those children in the pure Lutheran faith, in Lutheran churches and schools. Government decrees in 1817 and 1830 had forced a merger of the Lutheran and Reformed Churches in Prussia; the schools of the two bodies, which received their support from the government, also came under the single banner of this union. Staunch Lutherans held private worship in their homes and refused to send their chil dren to the public schools; the Prussian government replied with fines or imprisonment for their pastors and with a decree in 1834 that children could not apply for work permits unless they had attended public school. Those who refused to bow to this oppres sion had no choice but to forsake their homes and come to a country which promised them freedom. These were the immigrants who came to Milwaukee in 1839. They called their settlement Freistadt and immediately made use of their freedom by opening a parochial school, the first Lutheran school in Wisconsin. Teacher Joachim Lueck for a time had to serve as pastor, too. Of his school we know that the first hour every day was devoted to religious instruction and that English was one of the subjects taught. Brueggeniann took a leave of absence in 1842 — lie had to go to Milwaukee to learn English himself before he began teaching it. In teaching English to his class he was far ahead of his time. Most early Lutheran schools confined tliem49

RED selves to the German language, some even expressly forbidding the use of English. That immigration to Freistadt was one of the first waves of a flood of Germans that poured into Wisconsin during the forties and fifties, as many as sixteen thousand arriving in a single summer. Although many belonged to the Reformed Church and others, like the famous political refugees of ’48, were free-thinkers, yet a large number of faithful Lutherans came, too. Their desperate need for pastors and teachers was recognized by the newly founded Mis souri Synod. The fathers of this group took a deep interest in Christian education — the constitution which they drew up in 1847 bound member congregations to provide schools for their children. The synod's missionaries in Wisconsin followed this precept faith fully. Johann Stricter, one of these missionaries, for years preached at least four and sometimes nine times a week, spending so much time travelling that he bad to study and prepare his sermons on horseback; yet at each stop lie took time to conduct school and confirmation instruction. When the Wisconsin Synod was born one hundred years ago, it was very small, loosely knit body which could claim only one parochial school, in President Muelilhaeuser’s congregation at Mil waukee. Yet at the synod’s first formal meeting, at Granville，May, 1850, the five pastors present resolved ^that every pastor connected with us should take a special interest in children and should hold school, Bible classes, mission hours and the like.” These ministers, too, were faithful to their resolution. Within five years there were five schools; in ten years the fifty-five congregations reported twen ty-five; by 1880 the synod’s schools numbered over one hundred. Just what were these early schools like, and what kind of teachers did they have ? The congregation that settled Kirclihayn in 1843 built a sturdy log cabin which servecl as school and church upstairs, with the pastor and his family occupying the lower floor. This type of arrangement was common — school and church or school and parsonage under one roof. If there was a teacher, he often lived in the schoolhouse; sometimes he also cultivated the surrounding land. Members who had children in school helped the teacher plow and seed his little farm and in winter each supplied a load of wood to heat the building. If a congregation had no schoolhouse, then the church basement, the pastor’s attic or a member's home sheltered the pupils. In the early days the busy pastor almost always served as school-teacher, too. Often he had to travel between two congre gations, teaching three days here, three days there, or dividing the year between places. Some congregations simply could not afford to support a teacher. Pastor Engelbrecht of Racine solved the prob lem this way: when lie asked his congregation to call a teacher and they explained that they were too poor to pay one, Engelbrecht 60

RED answered, “Well, you are giving me $150 a year; we shall divide it. are both taken $75 I keep and $75 1 give to the teacher; then care of. If the teacher eats in your homes he will come out all right.” And so the congregation called a young man from Ft. Wayne who boarded round, two weeks with the parents of each pupil. Very few schools were fortunate enough to find trained teachers. Even those who came from Germany often proved unsuited for their work. The college at Ft. Wayne, Indiana, opened in 1846; in 1864 the Missouri Synod moved its normal school1 in Addison, Illinois. By 1872 the Wisconsin Synod had received permission to send its normal students there. The preparatory department of our Northwestern College turned out quite a few school-teachers: the GcmcindebhUt reported in 1878 that fourteen students at Watertown wished to teach school. But graduates from these institutions were, compared with the dcMiiand, so few and far between that congrega tions snapped up almost anyone who came along and offered to lake over the instruction. The faculty at Addison complained that some places were calling teachers who for good reasons had been expelled from the college. A congregation at Hamburg, Minnesota, had a teacher who couldn’t work fractions. These untrained men often were troubled with serious discipline problems. Members of a congregation near Helenville com plained to Pastor Reim that their young teacher had taken no disciplinary action after his class dragged a quantity of snow into the room, started a snowball fight ancl even pelted him. The incompetents, however, were probably who, though untrained, brought some gifts to outnumbered by their profession and gave their pupils a good foundation in Lutheran doctrine. The results of their work showed themselves in the next generation of loyal church members. Under the conditions that obtained at some places, it is surprising that anv_ work at all was done. By . no means unusual were one-room schools packed with over a hundred children. At Winona as late as 1880 a new school was occupied by 112 students under a single teacher: the congregation had decided, though, that if enrollment went up, they would call a woman to take the lower grades. (By this time more and more women were entering the profession. Until about 1870 a woman teaching even the lower grades was the exception.) Not all of the children attending our schools belonged to congregation members. Many non-Lutheran German immigrants sent their children to Lutheran schools just so that they would not forget their native tongue. In this way the parochial school became a valuable ally for the missionary. In 1855 the pupils of Pastor Lochner’s school in Milwaukee numbered 120; of these, only thirtyeight belonged to the congregation. The fact that the public school system was weak or non-existent in the rural areas even quite far

RED -

into the second half of the century also helps to explain the large number of “out-siders” in our schools. Students as a rule attended school for six years, ending with confirmation at twelve to fourteen. At Lebanon during the sixties children attended public school for several terms after their confirmation, and this may have been the practice in other places as well. Teachers in one-room schools usually divided their classes into three groups or grades, although this arrangement was by no means as definite or as universally followed as our eight-grade systern today. Length of the term varied widely from place to place. Some schools ran for as little as sixty days, while others kept going almost all the year round. Leyden, Illinois, provides an example of the latter arrangement. The term there ran as follows: from May ist to October ist, school three days a week; during the rest of the year, five days a week. The only vacations besides church festivals were two weeks at harvest time 一 for obvious purposes — and the Fourth of July. In respect to subjects, the rule was to teach the four R’s: reli gion, reading, writing and arithmetic. Some schools also offered music 一 if the (eaclier could handle it. Then as now, parochial schools were basically different from the public institutions; religion permeated every subject. Bible stories, for instance, provided much of the reading material in many schools. History and geography also entered into reading lessons, but they took a decidedly inferior position. At the beginning, suitable textbooks were scarce or unavailable. This dearth of texts was one of the impelling motives for the founding of the Missouri Synod. Its founders believed that by cooperative effort they would be able to publish good textbooks for their schools. Some German books were reprinted by the synod already during the fifties, a catechism, Huebner's popular Bible history and an arithmetic book among others. The Wisconsin State Teachers’ Conference in the single year 1880 authorized the publica tion of a catechism, a German primer, and German and English readers. Textbooks ancl school buildings and teachers have changed since those early days. The first school at Freistadt would look small and primitive next to the hundreds of schools we have today. Yet the spirit of Christian education has not changed. Seventyeight years ago St. Mark’s congregation here in Watertown stated the purpose of its school: to educate the children so that by God’s grace they learn the way to salvation and become fitted for their heavenly calling; and also to give them the training necessary to fulfill their earthly callings well. The purpose of Christian educa tion remains the same today. The parochial school, fulfilling that purpose, was and is one of the strongest bulwarks of the Lutheran Church. 52

RED A SHORT HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '50 In the Fall of 1942, forty-seven eager and brave boys and girls enrolled at Northwestern. Most of lts felt very proucl, partly be cause we were beginning a new life away from home and also be cause we were members of the largest Sexta class in many years. In Quinta we welcomed six new members to our midst: Johne, Kuske, Mueller, Messersclimidt, Pruess and Schaar. However, a considerably larger number of Sextaners failed to return so that our ranks diminished to thirty-five. When wc returned for Quarta we learned that Kolander had decided to continue his schooling at New Ulm, while Schumacher entered school at bis home town of Waterloo. Again, however, we laid claim to several new-comers: Johnson, Doris Jungkuntz, Priesz, Reitz, Sauer, and Schultz. At the end of the year J. Brunner, E, Brunner, Schwartz and Ranney left us to continue their schooling elsewhere. Terlia was perhaps one of the most enjoyable years for two reasons. WTe became the first class to put out a Prep year book and wc also had the pleasure of spending the time from Easter to graduation without the guidance and supervision of the collegiates. Because of the war they had attended Summer school and thus finished their tc-nns early in Spring. Wc numbered thirty-three at graduation. For some, graduation meant farewell to Northwestern but for others it was just the half-way mark in the long course of study here. Our Freshman year was a boom year as most Freshman years are. Gerlacli, Schaller, Scharlemann and Spaude came down from New Ulm while Saginaw sent us Hoenecke and Pommeranz. Radtke and Jackson came from Milwaukee and Fond du Lac respectively. If we add to these several G.I.’s and coeds, we find that our ranks swelled to sixty-five. Degiier and Schaar, who were with us since Sexta, left us at this time. Our Sophomore year saw our Freshman enrollment greatly reduced. Schultz left at the end of that year to continue his work at Whitewater. As Juniors we were joined by Lillegard, Orvick and Petersen from Bethany. However, we were sorry to lose Messerschmidt to Saint Louis and Fuhlbrigge to Wisconsin. It is interest ing to note that of the forty-seven who started in Sexta nine have completed eight years here. Wc can also be proud of the fact that all twenty-one members, except one, intend to enter the Lutheran Ministry.

RED Watertowii，Wisconsin JOHN SIMON DANNER, JR. In John we have a rarity of Northwestern College, a married man. John has had a long and varied career since lie entered our school'as a Freshman in 1937. Yes, 1937, and he didn't fail his grade either. You see, being the son of a retired Navy Officer, he had the longing for the sea in his blood. After special mathematical tutoring by Prof. Wendland, he went to the U. S. Maritime Com mission Academy in N«w York where he ranked first among 16,000 who took the mathematics examination. He served in the Merchant Marine from March of 1940 till February, 1941, touching most of the South American ports. From that date his activities run about as following: U. S. Marines, February, 1941-March, 1941 — com pleted six weeks preliminary flight training: U. S. Navy, January, 1942-September, 1947 (It took the Navy from March, 1941 until January, 1942 to make up its mind to accept John.) Me entered college again in 1948 and has finished the three year’s course in two years. Upon graduation he expects to find employment with the Navy Department. All the best to you, John. Watertown, Wisconsin PAUL ERWIN EICKMANN Paul’s position among the graduates of Northwestern is, believe, unique, since lie is the first graduate to have had a grand father as well as a father who served on the faculty at North western. In recognition of his accomplishments as a scholar he has been given the English Oration, but don’t let that fact give you the impression that he is a bookworm. Paul’s extra curricular ctivities are numerous to say the least. For the last three years he has been a fixture at the left tackle spot on our football team, playing a steady brand of ball of such a calibre that lie was elected to tlic All-Conference eleven. In spring and summer you will find him on the tennis courts. Paul is also a pianist of no mean ability. Naturally he is a member of the Male Chorus. This year lie was entrusted with a pitch pipe and the job of giving the Chorus its pitch. T11 addition to these activities Paul has served on the B & R Staff for two years and was a charter member and President of the Trcs Artes Society. With the coming of Fall Paul will get bis first taste of dormitory life at Sem. JAMES ALBERT FRICKE Wauwatosa, Wisconsin Scholar, musician, and athlete all wrapped in one small bundle. That’s Jim Fricke styled the Wauwatosa Whiz. Jim’s curly hair and flashing smile have been seen around Northwestern for eight long years now and it certainly will not be the same without him. His athletic prowess, especially as a baseball pitcher and football halfback, will be greatly missed. The Glee Club and Octet will also 54

RED feel lost without his sure voice and guiding hand. No slouch in the classroom, Hcrm's ready answers were admired 1)y student and Professor alike. Jim also has four years of service in both Prep and Male Chorus to his credit. Although he was a member of almost every organization at N.W., the G.U.F.B.C. (Gel up for breakfast club) could never claim him as a regular member. Next Fall will find Fricke at Rclliany College, Mankato, where he will teach German for one year before entering the Sc.ni. at Thiensville. JOEL CARL GERLACI-I New Ulm, Minnesota Anollier member of the Class of ’50 from the Gopher State. It was in his home town where the “Mole” spent his four prep years. Although a very diligent student, he was never too busy for a good “bull session”. His knowledge of and love for classical music is recognized throughout the dormitory. He put his musical talent to good use by serving three years in the college band, and four years as a member of the Male Chorus. Being a conservative version of tlie 'Miomn universalis”，lie was as avid and informed a sports fan as could be found among us, especially when it came to the Gophers or the Lakers. Those nightly letters lie has written for four years now arc not to his mother. Good luck at the Sem, Joel! Reedsburg, Wisconsin WILLIAM KANSIER HEIN Bill is known to his closest friends as “Gote” (a Germanism of Goat). He lias so many accomplishments .that there is insufficient room for them here, blit here are some of them. As is usually the case with Seniors, Bill’s primary interest wears a skirt. But since Bill is so tall and handsome one might know that he plays football, He has been on the varsity team for two years but couldn’t finish out this year because of an injury he sustained about mid-season. Although football is his favorite sport, inter-mural basketball (for which he seems to have liis own rules) and softball occupy him in their seasons. It must have been the yelling at those games that produced his “basso profundo” voice which lie eagerly lends to the choruses, the Octet and the Glee Club. Bill is very popular with the students as the manager of the Kanteen. And with this sweet note we wish you all the luck in the world, Bill. Fond du Lac, Wisconsin HANS FREDERICK JACKSON Hans spent his prep years at Winnebago Academy and came to N.W.C. in November of his freshman year from Oshkosh State Teacher’s College. Here Hans had a chance to work on his favorite subjects, the classical languages. In the future Hans plans to satisfy his interest in the classical languages by studying them further at the University of Chicago after a year of tutoring at Dr. Martin 55

RED Luther College. In extra-curricular activities Hans showed an interest in musical and literary activities and was a member of the Male Chorus, Mixed Chorus, Glee Club, Band, and literary society. Then too, I am told he had certain feminine interests in Milwaukee as frequent trips to that city testify. Northwestern will miss his jolly presence in the future and we all wish him loads of success in his calling as tutor next year and in his planned research in the classical languages thereafter. Racine, Wisconsin HAROLD RUDOLF JOHNE Johnny is the president of the Senior Class as he lias been since Frosh. One can see from this fact how popular “Pres” really is. Johnny's other nickname, "Rev”，must have been acquired be cause he is such a studious fellow. Although so-called “greases” are usually* unpopular, Johnny has overcome such a fate with his good nature. It’s too bad that his preps lake advantage of his good nature so much. When things go wrong “Rev” usually resorts to his favorite German expression “peck it all”. By the way, that article in the odd type at the beginning of this book is wliat “Rev” will deliver before the graduation audience. But when he rises to speak, lie may forget his shoes, which he usually takes off, when lie sits down in classes. During his speech he may be thinking of the sum mer vacation and some pretty Miss, or perhaps wienie roasts or his favorite sport, fishing. To this industrious student and “cheesy” prankster we now wish the best of luck. Stratford, Wisconsin PAUL WILBUR KUSKE Do you want to hear the piano ? See Paul Kuske. Yes, that's the first thought that comes into anyone’s mind when his name is mentioned. And rightly so, for he really is proficient on the piano. A true native of Wisconsin, Paul spent a total of 8 years in NWC. Nor were his abilities wasted, for he held down a well-earned start ing position on the varsity eleven in his college years. His fellow classmates also enjoyed his athletic ability which he displayed in class games. His pianistic talent was in constant demand for con certs, parties and get-togethers, and he participated in the male chorus throughout bis collegiate years. When Paul goes to the Sem, he will leave many friends behind him, but we know he will enjoy his term there. To you, Paul, adieu, halt’ dich rnunter! LAWRENCE ERICK LILLEGARD Newton, Massachusetts Lawrence, exclusive scion of tlw “horsey” set, completed his grade and high school training in cultured Newton, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. Now, after two years at Bethany and two here at Northwestern, he is planning to continue his education in 3rd 56

RED and 4th grade — as teacher, of course. Larry holds the record for diversity in types of employment. Although obtaining experience variously as soda jerk, Railway Expressman, dishwasher, delivery man, and caddie last summer, he is at present the local represent ative for Real-Silk hosiery. This versatility has, of course, made him a jack-of-all-experts. During the past year lie has further developed his talents by becoming a member of Trcs Artes and the Male Chorus. To Larry we wish the best of luck in all his future endeavors as a teacher in Winona, Minnesota. FREDERICK THEODORE MUELLER Milwaukee, Wise. “Fritz”, formerly of La Crosse, now makes his abode in “be loved” Milwaukee. His father is pastor of one of the churches of our Sister Synod. Having entered here as a Quintaner, “Fritz” has shown a good record and made many friends. Although having a tendency toward a fiery temperament, he nevertheless is fond of good jokes and has a goodly store of his own. “Fritz” has an interest in sports, having played football in his prep years and since then continuing with golf, tennis and fishing. He keeps his muscles in good shape by working for the railroad in the summer. His move to Thiensville next year will find him closer to an “attraction” in Milwaukee, upon which he lias had his eye for some time. Upon his leaving our “little red school” we wish him every success. Garner, Iowa GEORGE MYRON ORVICK George came to Northwestern from Bethany two years ago. Although he now lives in Garner, lie attended high school in Thorn ton, Iowa. Whenever George looks too down in the mouth, just mention Ruth and June, ’53. He often drives to Madison in his sleek, custom ’36 Chevrolet to attend to his duties as choir director. Incidentally, Ruth sings most of the solos. Not a lavish spender, George otherwise leads a very unobtrusive life, finding it necessary to replenish his fortunes by working at the Brandt Automatic Cashier Company. He is an excellent singer although he has never joined the Male Chorus. Last year he went out for baseball but found it too difficult to correlate that with his working. As a theology student at Bethany we hope he succeeds as well as he has here. Hustisford, Wisconsin GEROLD MARTIN PANKOW Northwestern bids farewell this year to a member of Pankow, Pankow, and Pankow, Inc. “Jerry”, tfie senior member of this firm, has decided to retire from our midst. For the past two years he has served most faithfully and efficiently as the official first aid man of the dormitory. “Jerry” is one of the proud possessors of a beau tiful tenor voice and a head of glorious, naturally-curly hair. He 57

has granted the college full-time use of his voice, having been a member of the Male Chorus during his four years of college. He has also made good use of his physical asset. During liis first two years of college, he was a member of llie football team and during all four years, a full-fledged baseball player. He is also an avid golf enthusiast. All in all, “Jerry” lias put in a full life during liis years at Northwestern. We wish him nothing but the best during the years al the Seminary. Scarvillc, Iowa WILHELM WALTI-IER PETERSEN Bill originates from Scarvilk, Iowa, the land where the corn silk fences with the clouds, but “Pee'vee” conserved liis energy. In Scarville he attended parochial school and brought the total attend ance to three. After six years at Bethany he came to Northwestern to complete his college course. Although liis sister was quite disappointed with God and the doctor when Bill turned out to be a boy instead of a girl, none of liis fellow students share that opinion. As a master impersonator with a keen sense of humor and an in gratiating personality he has gained many friends. Not so long ago Bill almost got an English postmark because of liis father's receiv ing a call as missionary to Cornwall, but lie was disappointed. Next year Bill will attend the Norwegian Synod’s Seminary at Bethany. The best wishes of the entire student body follow him.

Toledo, Ohio NORMAN ERNEST POMMERANZ From way out in Ohio 一 that’s our man Pommeranz. “Norm” spent four short years in Saginaw getting his high school education and then he journeyed to NWC for his college enlightenment. He is now the only representative of the Michigan District in his class. Besides being basketball manager, Norm was one of the main-stays on his team in intra-mural activities. He’s a real joker and a card; lie greets everyone with a big smile and a proud “howdy do”. Among the girls he is a mighty handy man ancl at present there seems to be a strong attraction from up Oshkosh way. Norm has the makings of a good pastor, so his next stop will be the Sem where he will complete and fulfill his desire to become a minister. A fond farewell and a lot of success to you, Norm! ELMER JOHN CHARLES PRENZLOW, JR. Cornell, Wise. Hear those heel plates coming down the hall ? Ten to one it’s that kid from Cornell, the man who blows the foam off the stein of life with gusto, our Elmo. It was way back in 1942 when Elmer first hung_ his favorite hat in our dormitory. That makes him an eight-year man, eight years in which lie managed to get pretty well acquainted in these parts. Owing to an acquaintance in town, lie 58

RED spent a good share of his time outside the dorm. That black Chewy lie sports around means he’s one of the few Seniors who are lucky enough to own a means of locomotion other than the pedal variety. A shining light in the field of music, he managed to attend enough practices to remain a steady member of the band, the pep band, Octet, the Jive Five, Glee Club, and Male Chorus. The Seminary profits by his graduation. WARREN JOHNSTON RADTKE Milwaukee, Wisconsin If you bad made a trip to the last room on the south end of tlic third floor this past year, you would no doubt have found •‘Chief’’ poring over his books. The nickname “Chief” has a double lificance. Warren was a chief petty officer in the Navy before came here, and lie was also the chief of that infamous band of white-hclmetcd seniors who delighted in arousing innocent people from peaceful slumber on the pretense of a firc drill. “Chief” 5icl take time off from his studying, however, for a number of extra curricular activities. He was a member of his class intra-mural football and softball team and of the literary society. On the grid iron especially, lie made his presence felt, and I do mean felt — when he blocked they slaved blocked! The next three years will find “Chief” a student at the Seminary. In his work there we wish him Goers blessing, knowing that he will carry on as conscienciously as lie has here in the past four years. Nicollet, Minnesota JONATHAN PAUL SCHALLER A gentleman and a scliobr. How could one better describe this brainy and friendly product of Southwestern Minnesota? Although never a member of the Black and Red staff, he outdid many a contributing editor in the quantity of his literary output. A lover of the classics, he has the rare gift of being able to identify both composer and work upon herring but two measures of almost any classical composition. The fact that he was blessed with the Zimmennann boys as roommates kept him from degenerating into a <<grincr,. His daily discussion (both enlightening and otherwise') with his next door neighbor Joel Gerlach, provided him with an ample supply of prnclical know^edsfe. Acid all this to his affair with Rutliy and you have Jon Schaller, a top-notch student \Vho’s bound for the Sem. Neenah, Wisconsin DONALD CARL SELLNOW Donald Carl Sellnow, affectionately called Brown, Coon or Don, came to Northwestern as a bashful (?) sextaner in the Fall of ’42. Since then he has become one of the most respected and popu lar fellows at Northwestern. A self-made trumpet player, Coon, as 59

RED the leader of the Pep Band, has been responsible for the toe tingling music at the basketball games. In fact one of the spectators was heard to say, “Shucks, I don’t come to see the ball game. I come to hear that hot trumpet player in the Pep Band.” Don’s charac teristic determination is evidenced by the fact that he overcame the crippling effects of polio to become a mainstay on the North western tennis and golf teams. Always one of the top men in his ’ class. Brown is especially adept at acting. As a result of this lie usually receives the leading role in Tres Artes plays. The Prep Chorus, Male Chorus, Glee Club, Octet, Band, Athletic Board, and Black and Red all have the name of Don Sellnow somewhere in their annals. If I exceed my 125 word limit in Ibis biography, let it serve as a well-deserved tribute to the man who served as editor of this illustrious paper. Next year will find him at the Seminary continuing his studies for the ministry. Newport, Minnesota JEROME EUGENESPAUDE “Romie” was born and raised in the western Minnesota town of Lake Benton. After he finished his primary education there he set out for Northwestern. On the way he stopped off at D.M.L.C. in New Ulm long enough to pick up a high school diploma. You’ll find that “Romie” is a handy man to have around if your radio is kaput, since radio repair work is one of his hobbies. He has limited his sports activities to intramurals and cheering from the sidelines. Hailing, as he does, from Minnesota, he of course is a faithful fan of the “Golden Gophers”. He started playing the French Horn in sixth grade and has been at it ever since. For the last four years lie has been the mainstay of the band’s horn section. As a member of the Male Chorus he made good use of that lusty tenor voice of his. He followed what seems to be a custom among the Spaudes when he learned the barber’s trade and went into business in the dormitory. Next fall he will set lip liis barber pole at the Sem.

Burlington, Wisconsin PHILIP ARTHUR STROHM Phil would probably be the number one nominee for “Mr. Physique” of Northwestern College. He made use of every bit of his 6’2”，200 pound frame on the football field. Playing great ball every season, his last was his best year when he gained a tackle berth on the “Badger Illini” all-conference squad. Of course you will never hear the big boy talk about this because he isn’t that kind of a guy. Baseball and golf are also among his athletic interests with the latter receiving preference. Modest and retiring, Phil has nevertheless become a student looked up to and admired by Prep and Collegiate alike. His sincere and conscientious work will have its results in the work Phil has chosen. He will be missed by all. However, Northwestern^ loss will be the Seminary’s gain. 60

RED Watertown, Wisconsin JAMES ALBERT THRAMS The other son of the fair city of Watertown in the class, Jim is living proof that they raise them healthy and hearty hereabouts. He lias been a member of the class for eight years. For most of those eight years lie has been in the band and pep band, blowing for keeps on the trumpet. “Jimmy” is also the possessor of a clear tenor voice which is the pride and joy of the tenor section of the Male Chorus. Chorus members will remember his unintentional solos on some of tlie high notes. also is a member of Tres Artes. When organizational activities aren’t taking up his time you will very likely find “Thramsie” busy with his other interests downtown. “Jim” is one of those students who demand absolute silence while studying. Thus far he has been fortunate enough to be able to get it. His big worry at present is that he’ll get a roommate at Sem. next year who is accustomed to studying to the accompaniment of a radio or plionograpli. We wish you luck, “Jim”. Waterloo, Wisconsin MARVIN WALTER ZANK ATarv is another one of the few who have spent all eight years at Northwestern. He is the proud possessor of a self-propelled vehicle. With it lie makes frequent visits to Wauwatosa. Must be some attraction there, eh Marv? He claims people are always get ting in his way. That maybe accounts for a few of the dents in the front end, but they always say 一 the mail must go through. You can always count on him to liven things up a little in class with some well-timed remark. Gifted with a versatile voice, he has bolstered the second bass section of the Male Chorus and Glee Club for the past four years. No slouch at sports he has sparked his class intermural football and softball teams on to many a victory. His sparkling wit and flashing smile will be missed here at North western. Good luck at the Sem, Marv.

TRES ARTES JOHN HAI1ECK

With its May 22nd meeting Trcs Artes completed its lliirct season. In the first meeting last fall Paul Eickmann was elected president, William Bein vice-president, George Tiefel treasurer, and John Habeck secretary. By June the membership had increased from sixteen to twenty. Meetings were held approximately every two weeks with one of the divisions within the society presenting a program and usually doing a very creditable job of it. We were very much pleased to have some of the faculty members taking an interest in Trcs Artes this year, and we want to thank them for the encouragement they afforded. The society presented a Christmas program this year, but withdrew a motion to stage another larger presentation just before graduation because of a lack of time and facilities. All in all this has been a very pleasant year, and we wonder why so many of you continue to deprive yourselves of this excellent opportunity for entertainment and information. Why don’t you join us next year ? 62

^bitartal To the Alumni .. jM^sNOTHER

school year has drawn to a close and again Northwestern bids farewell to a group of students who are enter'ing the ranks of the alumni. We, too, of the B and R staff bid you, the graduating class, farewell and wish you Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessing in your chosen work. Northwestern has been a home to you for a long time, to many of you fcr four years and to some, for eight years. Are you now going to forget all about Northwestern? Will there no longer be a spot in your memories for NWC ? Y^s, while you are at Sem many of you will return here occasionally for one reason or another, but there comes a time after this when you will be on your own and severed from all ties connecting you with the Sera and NWC. 63

RED Perhaps you are wondering what I am leading up to. It is just this. The B and R was founded 53 years ago to serve the pur pose of keeping the graduates informed on what is happening at their old Alma Mater. I address this article not only to the present graduates, but to those of you who have been out for a longer or shorter time. Of the approximately 800 living graduates of this institution about 100 take sufficient interest in it to subscribe to the B and R. From the last two graduating classes there is not one paid subscription. Some of you have served on the B and R staff. Is interest as dead among the Alumni as it seems to be among the students ? You may say that you are interested in the school, but that the B and R has nothing to offer that will hold your interest. That may be so. But we have yet to receive a letter from an alumnus with a few words of advice or encouragement. We are still learning and welcome advice from all. In a recent meeting this present staff decided to make a concerted effort to put out a paper that will prove interesting to both alumnus and student alike. In order to do this we have taken the liberty to make a few changes. At the present time it is still a mystery to the editor how this last issue will be paid for. I11 order to alleviate such difficulties in the future we liavc decided to charge $1.50 to all subscribers (students during the past year already have paid this amount) for the coming year. In addi tion the subscription price has been added to the activities fees so that all students will receive the B and R next year. If everything goes well we may again be able to lower the price to one dollar the following year. Other changes are also being made. In the near future an effort will be made to solicit new subscriptions from the alumni and to get ideas from them as to what they would be inter ested in reading. If you are interested or have suggestions, drop us a line. Changes are being made here. New buildings are going up. New professors are taking their places and teaching the sons and daughters of your fellow classmates. The articles contained in the B and R, 110 matter what they are, will reflect some phase or expression of student life. How do they compare with your own views or those that you had when you were a student ? The expres sion of student life at NWC is the purpose of the B and R and this is what your staff will try to present. However, You must read it to appreciate it. Let’s show some interest. '

RED Classics Revived •… ittgBr N the 9th of May the Junior Class presented the student body with “The House of Seven Ga1)les” via a motion picture. Starring were George Sanders as the villain 一 a most admirable one — and Vincent Price as the noble character, the brother of the villain. The picture followed rather closely the plot of Hawthorne’s novel, bringing 11s the tale of weal and woe of the early 19th cen tury brood of the Pyncheon clan. With a dash, if we can call it that, of tlic “feniiniiie” touch, the* picture ground out a shower of sentiment, intended to engender a “sloppy” and “slurpy” feeling in the audience. Only at the end did the picture veer away from the gloom of Hawthorne and present us with a satisfactory “and they lived happily ever after” ending. However, for a Hollywoodian reproduction of a classic, it was better than the ordinary. The Junior Class is to be commended that they have tried to bring us adaptations of great classics. What the result is cannot be ascribed to them. U.

The North Star ... N ^Tay 16 and 17 this moving picture was shown in the collegiate chapel. I believe one would have to call this film a more or less propaganda film. It gave a rosy picture of the Rus sians in 1941. They were a happy, peace-loving people until the Germans so ignominiously attacked them Then they bravely arose and defended themselves amidst the atrocities of the cruel, fiendish German army. To avenge themselves they burned their own homes and crops and harrassed the enemy as much as possible. Possibly it was a good thing to have such a movie, for now we may possibly be able to envision a true picture of the Russian people. Somewhere between the extreme picture we have today and the picture shown 11s by the movie, lies the true picture of the Russian people.

Well, fellows, I imagine by now you're all pretty tlioroughly laundered by tlu* voluminous rain, and dried and baked by this luscious golden sun. And with the “briglit spot” shining so power fully and radiant, baked ham is a specialty on the campus at present. Just take a trek- out among the green pines by the orchard; don’t be shocked, alarmcl or ashamed if you see a couple of nude fellas in sport trunks (I hope), reclining in deep lethargy on a blanket. They arc just some of lhe fellows wlio're getting a head-start on the rest of acquiring a deep golden brown tan (or scorch) which they can show off to the girls during summer. * When June is here The end is near. Then comes exams And everyone crams; But ihe marks are low ... Hope the folks don't know. And as homeward-bound With no job found, It’s hard to discern Whether one will return. ...Aw, let's quit! 氺

氺

Everybody will agree that our school is old and that it had its founding many a year ago but few will acknowledge it to be among the ancient establishments on this globe. Yet one prof proudly 73

RED exhibits in bis classroom a map of the 4th century. Wonder where he got a hold of that thing. (Hope Prof. Sitz has a good explana tion.) 本

Boy, this column sure had a big enough spiel about Arbor Day in the last issue. Thought that would be all for the year. But our campus primeval suffered damage among its lofty bowers when a near-hurricane wind with the force of four Paul Bunyans tore through the campus littering the newly swept terra firina with boughs galore. The Sophs were “forced” to pick up sticks. An unfortunate tree with a hollow head, I mean a liollmv trunk (just thinking about myself, I guess) was selected as the victim for the Sophs to practice their woodsmanship upon. After due *'consultation” with the proper authorities, the future ,,Runyanitcs,\ working in shifts (“here, you take it, my arms!”），felled the mi^litv giant at approximately 2:10:1.04 in the afternoon. Except for Cliarley **Atlas” liittorfs inhuman strength spent upon two poor umlc^crving ax handles, the whole job pulled off remarkably well. To quote a certain prof as he walked past the industrious Sophs nt tlic ill-fated tree, “It’s an ill wind that blows no good.” Right men ?

...“You lucky stiff!".. "What number you got?” ... “What number you got?”，. . “15.” .. • “Ya poor fool!'1 . . . No it’s not a lottery or bingo game, but it’s a “game” of clianoc. Slips* of paper were marked fair and square . . . fingers crossed, luck charms rubbed . . . then followed elations of joy and groans of disappointment as numbers for next year's rooms were chosen. Funny how you always get the lowest number, isn't it?

Davey Boy, come back to me, And tell me where you’re bound. “To Appleton I’m on my way, For there a lass I’ve found.”

You know, in the beginning of this shunt column there was mention made of fellas getting tanned under the good ole sun. It seems that this baking business even has a premature advantage. While R. Danner and D. “liow’s the” Wetter were sitting _ on the bleachers with their huge manly (tho white) chests exposed to the envigorating rays of shinin’ Sol, a remark was overheard cn the 74

RED other bleachers among some students of the fairer sex: fin a rather subdued voice) “I wonder if they’ve got hair on their clicst.” So you see, fellas, it pays getting a tan even before summer rolls around. ...Move over Danner, here I come. Whoops, I forgot my trunks!

FOR MEN ONLY: Seen : T. V. Ylvisakcr ... at Fal*s . . . doing wonderful service (and attention) ... all tlie waitresses at one table ...T. V. at same tabic . . . Wow!

“Boo lioo lioo!!” . . . “Cut out yer cryin’.” ... “I ain’t cryin’.’’ ... “Wliatcli )，a doin'?" . . . “Eating!” .. . Naw, that’s not the first food he’s had in years; lie’s eating onions. Some of the more courageous men believe in eating in the raw, onions that is. Man alive, when they put a slice of onion Yi inch thick between two pieces of bread, tliat’s high time to pull out. How about it Heinie and Chick (Jr.)? 氺

本

It’s a good thing our building project is being paid for by contract and not 011 an hourly wage basis. Strange how all the workmen seem to be “working on the gym or boiler plant during baseball games. Well, we've got a good team, so wliy shouldn't they “spectate”. * * TRAGEDY Someone apparently thought that the Soph’s newly planted arbor” (Mt. Ash) had already reached maturity, for the culprit engaged himself in a bit of lumber-jacking and deftly severed its top of crowning glory. (It had even started to grow!) Tis really a world of the survival of the fittest, poor ole tree! , . . WHO DONE IT? 本

It’s mighty funny how R. Zimmerman gets in here all the time, but he’s here again. It appears that in his last baseball game he was trying for a fly-ball, not watching where he was going, (must have been looking at the girls) and he promptly collided with Manthey. As a result, his extra-curricular activities downtown were curtailed for a short time, but lie’s up and at ’em (her) again. 氺氺

氺*

RED There oughta be a law Against any student Who runs clown the hall Making more noise tlian’s prudent. If you notice any drastic change in lliis here publication, ’twoulcl be the result of a licated and profitable round-table (only this one was square) discussion held during the staff banquet. Also dis cussed were means (by hook or crook — I wonder which) of pull ing old faithful B and R out of the slate of bankruptcy, mortgage and a monetary capitulation. If you sec us digging out in the gar den, we’re not going fishing, we’re hunting for some buried treasure. (Who's got the low-down on Cap. Kidd?) Hey, you in the reading audience, if you know where about 150-200 jobs (any kind, as long as they pay) can be obtained during the forthcoming summer, I’m sure you’ll find ready “slaves” at N.W.C. — Boy, jobs are going to be scarce this year, so keep plugging at it fellas. CHARMIN’ CHARLEY SAYS: “An education is something everybody is willing to pay for ancl not get!” Well, seniors, whatch ya got to say as you’re about to make NWC an Alma Mater ? Most of your opinions seem to express little regret at the thought of leaving, but I’ll bet deep down in your hearts there’s a mighty warm spot for good old Northwestern, eh fellas? WeJll miss vou (to a certain extent), so be sure ?n come back once in a while. Some of you, of course, won't be able to. stay away from Watertown for obvious reasons (aw, honey!), but the rest of you know there's good “food” and a place to lay your head awaiting you here. So to all of ya ... “mach’s gut!’’ Well, after nine month's of sitting, studying, sitting, eating, sitting, sleeping, sitting，listening, sitting, singing, and just plain sitting, Fm pretty well sat out. So I should be ready and fit to stand and work for the summer. Hope you all have an enjoyable vacalion，don't work too hard (I should worry) and we'll be seeing you all again in September . . . how’s about it? So long. 76

BORCHERDING TOSSES ONE-HITTER Bob Borchcrcling, University of Wisconsin Junior Varsity pitcher, had things completely his own way as he baffled the Gosling batsmen for eight and one-third innings before he was touched for a texas leaguer single by A. Zimmerniann. The J. V. sluggers on the other hand pounded the pill at will, blasting out fifteen hits which accounted for fourteen runs. Spangenberg, the victim of some poor support was on the hill for N.VV. for eight and one-third imiings when he was relieved by Krueger, who put out the fire. Baumgarten, the J. \\ third baseman, made the most noise with his bat, getting four hits in six trips to the plate, including one double and three singles. It was a non-conference affair.

J. V/S DO IT AGAIN The experience and baseball knowhow of the Madison boys proved to be too much for the Goslings to overcome, as they bowed to Wisconsin for the second time. The Badgers jumped off to a one run lead in the first and were never threatened thereafter, scoring three in the third, four in the sixth and two in the seventh. The never-say-die Goslings, on the other hand, refused to be shut out again and walloped Slottenk's offerings for nine hits. Fricke, Panning, Strohm, and Hoenecke got two hits apiece and Carter added the ninth. This was another non-conference tilt.

Like so many of the bright stars that twinkle in the heaven of fame, Jenny Lind’s life began in poverty. The world’s greatest soprano showed an early talent for dancing, acting and singing ... but her prudent Swedish mother would have none of it! Only after the persistent urging of friends did Frau Lind re luctantly consent to Jenny’s operatic career. After nine years of intense study at the Royal Theatre, Jenny made her debut at the Stockholm opera. She became an im mediate success and was soon giving command performances for European Royalty 一 The Swedish Nightingale had the world at her feet. She toured the United States with the im mortal showman P. T. Barnum, and then returned to Europe to marry Otto Goldschmidt. She spent her last days in London helping her husband train the Bach Choir. To reach any goal requires a sound plan and hard work.

PROLOGUE The leaves are beginning to fall and the days are growing shorter. Main street is again patrolled by pairs and trios of boys. Yes, it is school time again. Another summer full of its varied experiences for one and all is over. Once again the halls resound with shouts and boisterous laughter — a happy occasion for some, and perhaps not so happy a one for others. First of all I want to take this occasion to welcome all the new students, both Collegiate and Prep, in behalf of the Black and Red Staff and the “veterans” of NWC. For those of you who hav« trans ferred here from other schools, this life will probably not be much of a change. I am sure that every one of you thinks that your former school was much better than this one, but we sincerely hope that be fore the year is out you will grant that Northwestern also is not too bad a place to go to school. By now you should be pretty well acquainted with the school proper, so let me introduce you to the offi cial publication of the student body. By it you can measure whether the student body is completely or just half dead. In the following pages you can find a somewhat clouded mirror of life at North western. This is the place to make known your gripes and your tal ents. Not only is this paper a voice of the students for the students, but also for the alumni who wish to know whether their old Alma Mater has changed any from their day. 80

RED In bygone days an appeal should now follow for material to fill the space between the covers of the following issues. Your editor has seen far too many of these appeals in the past years to warrant their further appearance. Let it suffice to say for the benefit of the new students that any material is welcome. Allow your editor to de cide whether it is printable or not. This is the last mention that will be made in print in regard to quantity of material for the duration of this regime. There have been changes made at Northwestern. The new buildings are nearing completion. The dormitory is packed and new faces appear everywhere. The following issues of the B & R should be of interest especially to all alumni. In later issues pictures will appear of the completed improvements at NWC. You students will have noticed that no one has been around this year trying to brow beat you into subscribing for the B. & R. This year when you paid your activities fee you automatically subscribed. That is the way subscrip tions are handled in most schools. In the coming months an attempt will be made to increase the outside circulation of the B. & R. The alumni will also note that the price has been raised. Our printer has also raised our price. Before the year is out it is hoped that the management of the B. & R. will be so arranged that it will never again suffer from the acute pecuniary wants of the preceding years. This will not be accomplished by the raise in price but through a gradual revamping of the business structure of the paper. With your help the B. & R. staff will strive to reach its goal of a larger, more interesting publication every month. Your editor.

SUMMER ACTIVITIES AT NORTHWESTERN by H. JASTER

. .

I think I am quite correct in assuming that most students of our institution did not allow any thoughts of school to enter their minds during the blessed summer months when they were home taking their well-earned (?) rest (?). It would, however, be a very false idea to think that the school also enjoyed a rest. In fact, one would have hardly found a day during the vacation period when there was no activity on the campus of our school. It all began the day after commencement. The janitors, four strong, moved into the dormitory and literally began hauling out truckloads of refuse and junk which our students so thoughtfully left behind. All the furniture was moved into the halls and the rooms were cleaned out. By the time this process had been completed oil four floors, seven truckloads were removed to the junkyard. This indeed speaks well of good housekeeping. The arduous job of scrub bing a seemingly endless number of floors was the next thing on the 81

9 RED list. Then came the washing of walls, windows, lockers, desks, and woodwork. This was done by a very efficient number of women. Then the painters moved in. To top it all off, this year found us in the midst of the building program. To say the least, this slightly up set our cleaning schedule. Electricians, plumbers, steam fitters, conCrete men, etc. plagued us at intermittent intervals. Because of the expected rise in enrollment a large amount of remodeling had to be done. The old bandroom and collegiate club room were converted into large bedrooms. A large number of small repair jobs also had to be clone by our carpenters. Yes indeed, a very quiet time for Northwestern. This was only a small part of the entire amount of activity. The recitation building received its greatest going-over since the (late of its construction. The entire heating system was torn out and a new one installed. This included new radiators, an automatic ventilating unit for each classroom, and a large attic exhaust fan. The old ventilating ducts in the walls were again opened and grids in stalled. Each room now is heated by thermostatic control. The same process of cleaning was carried out here as in the dormitory. Several rooms were also changed around to give some additional room until our new class building is completed. The faculty was lowered into the basement and the student body elevated into the old faculty room, making tliat room one of our nicest classrooms. The room for the town boys was moved upstairs into the Bursar’s office and he was sidetracked into the Library-reading room. During this time of cleaning and moving, the building program was being pushed steadily ahead. The first and second stories of the class building were finished and the roof put on. At the time of this writing plasterers and electricians are completing their work. The heating plant was finished in time for a trial run the Saturday before school opened. An interesting highlight for all surrounding neighbors was the arrival and installation of the eight ton, 20, 000 gallon oil tank. The construction work was aided by exceptional weather the last two months, enabling completion of much outdoor work. Then, just before school opened the architect and superintendent of construction were thrown into a dither. The new concrete driveway was only rbout half completed, and it decided to rain. Rain — rain ■— rain —We were sinking up to our knees in mud, and opening day was coming closer and closer. Finally the sun again shone, and by means of several days of overtime work, the road was completed. By this time the janitors were just about frantic. Their schedule had been cut up to such an extent, that there seemed to be no end of work for them. But by the time the deadline arrived, everything was finished. It was agreed by all that Northwestern had seen its busiest summer since 1912 when our gymnasium was built. I hope

■ RED this brief description has given you some idea of what went on here at Northwestern during the summer months. Perhaps it will also awaken a little appreciation among us for the workers who labored all summer to get things in tip-top shape for us.

ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES IN THE ART OF STUDYING In a previous issue of the Black and Red there appeared an editorial which set forth the ‘’Elementary Principles in the Art of Teaching”. While this editorial was well received, it was felt by some that a setting forth of the principles involved in the art of studying would be of more immediate benefit for the majority of the readers of the Black and Red. And so we offer the following material on this subject. The work is not intended to be definitive, offering only the most obvious principles and these in brief form. All subject matter was obtained by an on-the-spot observation of some of the recognized leaders in this field at Northwestern. The basic principle in the art of studying is the old saying: uNever let your studies interfere with your education.” It must be kept in mind at all times if one is to be a successful student. It in(licates the proper attitude toward one’s work and is invaluable in helping one to decide where one’s time will be spent most profitably. Another basic principle is: Never go to classes unprepared Instructors generally interpret this to mean that the student should not come to class with his assignments uncompleted. Most students, however, are aware that it really means one should never go to class without an excuse for not having completed the assignments. A stud ent should also be prepared at all times to give a reason why he couldn’t possibly have time to carry out any extra assignment that the instructor might propose in class. Since a student’s time is limited it is expected that anyone claiming the title be able to carry on a lively conversation while listening to lectures. It is also expected that any real student know liow to apportion this conversation among the various instructors in such a way that none of them will feel slighted. The principles mentioned so far are basic and are to be followed by all. Those that follow are for the better than average student who wishes to develop his particular genius in this field. Most ordinary students are quite polite when speaking to their instructor, addressing him as, “Sir” or Professor”，but the good student knows this isn't necessary and will use the short and direct form: “Hey”，or. will simply attract attention by stating what is on his mind in a voice so loud that the professor has to take notice. 83

RED Since the hardworking, intelligent student is inclined to be somewhat temperamental it is to be expected that his feelings may be hurt if the instructor by mistake accuses him of inattention or misbehavior. The good student shares each and every witticism or wise crack which occurs to him, relevant or irrelevant, with his classmates thus assisting the instructor in making the subject interesting. The considerate student remembers to bring to class an assortment of objects which may prove useful in distracting fel low student who seems to be in danger of cracking up from paying close attention to the lecture for too long a time. Students with rare genius have discovered that the instructor usually spends the first five minutes on introductory or review material; therefore this time can be spent more profitably outside of the classroom. The time-conscious student also makes it a prac tice to start closing his books promptly at the five-minute warning bell and then to walk out of the room as the instructor is making his assignments. Thus the student is able to get in a full five minutes of study between class periods. The gifted student mindful of his constitutional guaranteed right of free speech may on occasions talk back to the instructor to prove his wisdom and brilliance, and he is in no way abashed or embarressed if in so doing he makes a jackass of himself, knowing that genius is rarely appreciated . l'lK*se are a few of tthe elementary principles in the art of studying. Follow them, and you arc destined to go places. A Lover of the Art

GRANDPA GOES TO TOWN PHOEBE

Grandpa never could get used to the city. Long years of hard work spent on his quiet homestead farm had molded his way of life permanently. He took it hard when Doc Knackwurst ordered him to retire from the strenuous toils of farm life and move to the city where he could live out his remaining years in quietness and relaxution. Yep, it was a hard blow, but he finally convinced himself that the doctor knew best. So the wife and kids ancl I went out to his place and helped him and Grandma pack up and move in with us in town. My, wliat a job! Every little piece of junk he wanted to save, although I could tell it wasn’t worth a flea’s bite. There was one old rusty lantern that he was determined to cart to the city. I firmly told him “no!” Then he said he wasn’t going if he couldn't 84

RED take that lantern along, claimed lie needed a light so he could go out at night. He didn’t know we had indoor plumbing at home. Well, we finally got all the folks’ stuff moved to town. What was left was auctioned off at a sale. You should have seen the tears in Grandpa’s eyes' when they auctioned the team off. And the two cows • Poor Grandpa was nearly on the verge of complete collapse and when we were driving home he kept saying, 'That fool doc doesn’t know his beans.” The next few days were hectic ones, not only because our house was a bit mixed up and crowded, but because Grandpa was so stub born, resistible and unmanageable to say the least! The first night lie got up about ii 130, grabbed my gun off the mantle and hobbled out the back door mumbling under his breath, “Confound chicken thieves! I’ll show ’em.” Next thing I knew, he was filling the nciglibor’s garage full of .30/30 slugs. Trying to get him back in bed was worse than tying a kangaroo^ tail in a bow knot. The next morning he was up at 5130, said he had done chores. Well, I thought, surely no harm can come of that — Stupid me! When I got up, there he was, cutting down the elm next to the back shed. I hollered from the window, and just then, CRASH!! A fourteen year old shade tree was no more. “We’ve got to lay in a store of fire wood for the winter,” he said. Woe unto us!! Oil, things were rough and yet they were funny. There was the lime he wanted to take a bath, so lie put a wash tub under the show er and turned the faucet on. When he came back twenty minutes later, the tub was a quarter full and half the upstairs was flooded. I still haven’t got all the ceilings repaired on the first floor. Grandpa was used to sitting on the front porch on the farm, and he did at our house. That is, until the paper boy came. Wlien he threw the paper on the porch, Grandpa lit out and chased him into the next block. Afterwards he said no little kid like that was going to throw stuff at him and get away with it. My wife used to have a good laugh over Grandpa’s antics and his peculiar habits. Like the time she overheard him telling our kids and half the neighborhood’s kids how he used to chop timber in the good old days. He claimed that once when he had to top a tree, it was so big and high that he took two days’ victuals along when he climbed up the tree, as he didn’t plan to get back before the end of the week. The wife was laughing so hard, she forgot all about the apple pies in the oven, and they nearly burned up. But we all got along fine. We kind of overlooked Grandpa’s lack of familiarity with the modern inventions and invocations. The kids just worshipped him and listened with rapture and awe to every word spoke 1o them. His stories of the terrors of the wild wood s and hills were known to all the neighborhood kids and were considered 85

RED part of their education. Every kid within ten blocks of our house owned one of Grandpa’s liand-carved figurettes, which he was sen sible enough to carve in the dining room and not in the living room in front of the fire place, as might be expected. . When Grandma passed away, a decided change came over Grandpa. Before, he used to speak harshly to Grandma and he was always grouchy and didn’t appear as if they got along very well. I»ut after her funeral, old Grandpa sort of simmered down and took things kind of easy. The wife and I knew he wouldn’t last long, and then it came. A few minutes before he died, he told both of the kids to keep the rusty old lantern a burning for him. They kept it going for a few days or so and then gave up. Fvc still got the old lantern, for it holds the fondest memories of Grandpa when he came to town.

OUR BAND Yes, it’s “OUR Band” when it has many and able players, but it’s just “the band” when the size or the quality is not up to par. Until now, it seems, the Band has had enough good players so that a Second or Junior Band was not needed to train interested prospects in the art of playing a band instrument. But last year the need of a source for supplying new members to the Band presented itself. This year the Band will be still smaller than it was last year. But a remedy for this situation has been initiated. This remedy is the Junior Band. But let’s not get overconfident and think that the Jun ior Band is going to improve the impoverished Band within a year or two. The Junior Band is an organization which will noticeably im prove the Band only after four or five years. When once the Junior Band has passed its period of adolescence, it will continue to be the cornerstone of the regular Band. If we want to be proud of OUR Band, we must make sure that it always has enough good players and to spare. We have many students in our school who can play band instuments but are not members of the Band. When these potential members are asked to join they often say that the two (2) hours in each week of 168 are too many to give the Band. Sometimes they make very derogatory remarks as: Who wants to belong to such a small, unbalanced, dis harmonious Band ? The persons who want to play in a better Band (Don’t we all?) must lend their talents for that better and bigger Band. Because of the eight years of school which we have here we should have a very fine Band. Let’s join up now! Those that can play with the regular Band and the beginners and novices in the junior Band so that we can all proudly say, “This is OUR Band.” J. G. R. 86

RED GO WEST, YOUNG MAN, GO WEST!

j •

A slight drizzle was coming steadily down on the warm summer’s night when four of us left on a two week’s trip to California. Out of majestic Minnesota, across the enchantingly monotonous prairies o{ South Dakota, and far into Montana the highway unravelled like a giant, seemingly endless ribbon. The speedometer on the freshly polished maroon Studebaker registered an impressive 1015 for the first day. Arising with the sun, the tent, bedrolls and other pro visions and equipment packed securely on the roof and in the trunk, we began the second leg of our journey, racing, as it were, the very ~ noon we had sun to its destination, heading west, ever west. By crossed the border of northern Idaho, the beautiful land of the Cocur d’Alenes, and but a short time later it was Washington, wonderful Washington and the great Pacific Northwest. Out of endlessly wickexpanses of golden wheat, along broad, pinescented highways we sped. The lights on the mighty Grand Coulee were already burning brightly as we descended into the valley of this mightiest man-made structure of all time. As we stood watching this huge hulk in the ever-darkening twilight, mighty floodlights from the adjoining mountains suddenly illuminated the mammoth spillways, giving birlb, as it were, to a breathtakingly beautiful cascade of the mighty Co lumbia, far eclipsing Niagara Falls in height of fall. The steady ap proach of a foreboding black cloud formation meant it was high time 10 pitch our tent for the night. Due to considerable delay in finding a suitable camp site, it was raining nicely before we ever got out of the car. The steady downpour continued tlirougliout the night, the first precipitation, as luck would have it, in two months. By morning two of us had acquired fine colds. After a hot shower we were head ing for our day's destination, Mt. Rainer. Late afternoon brought us into the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley and Fall River, the home of Bob Carter. After a refreshing lunch and several unsuccessful attemps to have us put up there for the night, we leit for Seattle. It was while crossing the famous floating bridge that one of our party first caught sight of what millions have thrilled to, snow-capped Mt. Rainer, her summit encircled by a garland of cirrus clouds on the distant horizon. The race to get into the Mt. Rainer National Park by the eleven o’clock closing time was won by a nose, the ranger already having swung one gate shut. The cooks, being most proficient with a can opener, prepared a delicious repast of Campbell’s tomato soup. The next day was as meteorologically perfect as could be, and proved to be the high point of our entire trip. The sky was as blue as only the sky above Mt. Rainer can be. Not the slightest breeze was stirring. The drive up to Paradise Valley, through dazzling white snow, myriads of green pines, and the perfectly blue sky overhead,

RED was one long to be remembered. We spent the entire morning at Paradise, taking movies occasionally, but for the most part just standing as in a dream and drinking in that beauty which defies description. There, if ever, we experienced the eternal truth of the words of the Psalmist: “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handiwork/' ft was with regret that we turned our backs on Rainer and headed south, through Portland, the City of Roses, along the scenic Columbia River Highway, and into Crater Lake National Park. From Crater Lake our course angled toward the west. Our goal: Crescent City, California, the northern beginning of the Redwood Highway. And then they came, those ancient monarchs, tree upon tree, some of which were already sa plings when Columbus discovered America. The coastal highway also offered our first view of the Pacific, giving us the thrill of mod ern Balboas. It was midnight when we pitched in a park outside the Golden Gate City, San Francisco. We were awakened early Sunday morning by a pronounced British accent outside the tent. “Would we be so kind as to move our lent?” We were pitched on the road. Needless to say, wc pulled stakes, but fast. A heavy fog was rolling in from the ocean as we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. Endless streams of automobiles were heading east out of Frisco to escape the soupy fog. Once in the cily, we covered many of the spots of interest, such as Golden Gate Park, Fisherman’s Wharf and China Town, a bit of the Orient transplanted in America. A visit to the beautifui Spanish-styled Stanford University at Palo Alto completed the day. From there it was east to Yoscmite, where we were to spend three days. From Glacier Point, almost a mile above the valley floor, we witnessed one of the most magnificent panoramic views in the world, rugged mountains, dizzy heights, and numerous waterfalls. At the time of our stay there were approximately ten thousand tourists camped in the park. Every night, a now famous spectacle, the Fire Falls, is put on, A large pile of glowing charcoals is pushed from a cliff almost a mile above the valley floor, giving the exciting effect of a fall of fire to the crowd assembled below. It was Reno or bust as we left California. Besides not being able to find any camping facilities we remembered Reno for its many justices-of-the-peace, and gaming houses, especially Harold’s Club. Since the temperature rises to 115 degrees during the day, we travelled across the desert by night. At dawn we had arrived in beautiful Salt Lake City, truly an oasis in the desert, and a worthy tribute to the hardy followers of Brigham Young. A visit to Temple Square was, of course, on the program. Although adorned in almost a two week’s growth oi beard and everyday clothes, we attc-nded an organ recital by Frank Asper and heard a few words of welcome by Richard Evans. Our stop at a friend’s home in Nebraska was highlighted by the killing of a rattlesnake, using the car jack to deal the fatal blow. And after

LETS WISE UP

Upon returning to N.W.C. this year, we find that the athletic fee has again gone up. Surprisingly enough the latest athletic equip ment being handed out is the Black & Red and Shrdlu. The reason ? Of course, the Black and Red is again dipping into the red. What has been done about it? Well, Communism has spread in Asia and Europe, why not have it here at Northwestern too? Just force all of the students to buy something they may not want. And why this ? To put up a front and say that we put out a magazine at N.W.C. I say, let’s wise up. Other colleges put out a paper and are sat isfied with that. They don’t need some thing on smooth, glossy sheets between covers. Well, why must we put up a front? If we can’t afford one thing, let’s take another. We could put out a good paper and it wouldn’t have to have two separate editions. Let’s put our pride aside, unite with the preps, and jointly put out a single paper with which both groups will be pleased. This paper could be put out much cheaper, and could be pub lished oftener. It would also tend to keep some of the columns from becoming ancient history before they are read. It would give the preps a chance to match their writing against that of some of the collegiates, bringing in a greater selection of articles. The two editions now are little different in content and could continue larger section mixing both prep and college news, sports, columns, and gossip. It would still support all aspiring authors,poets, and columnists. Maybe even more so, because it would be interesting to all students and read by them. It would belong neither to the preps nor collegiates but to both of them. Whatever it might lose in prestige, I’m sure it would gain in popularity. Let’s wise up and start the presses rolling. * Richard Buss * Editor’s note: The editor welcomes Mr. Buss’s first contribution to the B. & H. Yes, let’s wise up. The increase was in activities fees not athletic fees (see catalogue). Other colleges do put out a paper, but they put it out in the same manner that we do. First of all, a weekly paper could not be put out for any less money and would be considerably inferior. Secondly, the editor would like to become acquainted with some of these “aspiring authors, poets and columnists”. If they cannot contribute for a monthly, certainly a weekly would be still more lacking of material. Tlie non-athletic student is forced to support Mr. Buss’s “athletic fees” and thereby supports a cause from which he receives no direct benefit. One good turn deserves another. If this be com munism, I’m afraid we all have a little pink fringe. 89

^Ehttortal Our School ... HY is it that when we speak of our school that we are too often apt to mention first the tilings that are not particularly complimentary? Yes, very often those things will remain most vividÂ ly in our minds. But often they can do a great deal of harm. When I came to school here, I came with certain apprehensions. About all I had heard about this school from former students and students of that time was not good. I believe many a prospective student has been turned away and much interest in the school genÂ erally left unaroused because we in our selection of the truth have picked the wrong things to relate. We all like this school and will look back with fond memories cn the years we spent here. So why not let our friends back home and the people we run into know that ? Why not just keep our dirty wash for our own back yard, and if vve want to display something hang out some of our many shining emblems ? B. D. 90

RED Cheering ... one discusses the subject of cheering, the highly controversial point of “school spirit” usually manages to worm its way into the discussion. Pretty soon someone remarks that if “school spirit” is such a shallow thing that it is measured by the amount of cheering at athletic contests etc. For once, however, let us examine this thing a little differently. In the past on numerous occasions we at NWC have been able to observe what a small visiting crowd of fans, co-operating with ambitious cheerlcading can do. Often times many of us have been just a little bit ashamed, for our cheerleaders were conspicuously absent, or our efforts, although we outnumbered the visitors five to one, were definitely of inferior quality. Now cheering in itself is not an important thing, comparitively speaking. But if we want to cheer at all, why not do a good job of it? It is an undertaking, and if it is worth doing at all, it ought to he worth doing well. Shakespeare might have put it this way, “To cheer well, or not to cheer at all, that is the question!” B. D.

Black and Red deadline, Monday, the Tbtli. Come on you guys; you've had all summer to write your articles. What did you do with all your free time during vacation?” 一Yep, that’s that old slavedriver 'vho’s editor of this publication. A guy barely (quite bare) gets settled in llic dorm *n ya hear him, old Gas Frohmader, hollerin’！ Well, ifs best to let people like that have their way; then they’ll be quiet. Work is through, School’s begun Faces new Nights of fun. 氺

Well, I suppose by now most of you all had your pockets bursting with shining golden shekels — until you paid your room and board. Wow! ! — I had a nice juicy bank account when I came up here, but now V\\ have to join the A.B.C.* of America. But then I guess it costs something to feed the campus vultures. And then to further dampen the new school year’s spirits was the uninvited in trusion of Mr. Polio. We herewith extend a quick recovery to Mel vin Rupprecht and a happy quarantine season to the “Iso” boys, Voss, Lenz, Bob Buss and Berger. * Allied Bum Corporation. * You say this world’s going modern! Ya oughta see Northwestern ! Land O’ Goshen, what changes have taken place. We all canie back expecting to see the same joint, and then we find the campus 94

RED being landscaped, a new concrete drive-way (plus a % block oval race track in the back of the dorm), the new classroom building’s exterior near completion, the new boiler plant in operation, the gym nearly done! Man, you’d think the workmen have been busy this summer. My, it，s surely wonderful! Ill bet some of the old alumni will hardly recognize the old alma pater anymore. Why, even the office broke down and got some new equipment. And now with the new heating and air conditioning system, maybe the classrooms won't get so stuffy. (No reflection on the Profs., of course!). %

氺

I，ll bet a visitor’s first reaction to the sight of some of llie stud ents in the early part of football season must have been one of liorror. He probably thought the kids were dying of malnutrilion (which is possibly true!) or from the severe punisliment in the class room. But all credit (good) goes to Coach Umnus. He really whipped those boys into shape. You can be sure, in spite of the plavers’ aching bones now (mid-Sept.) that the players will be able lo take it and dish it out in the games. 氺 * 氺 *

To Europe, to Europe We do go, For knowledge and fun, For all we know, It，s summer time ’N we’ve nothing to do So across we go —, And wouldn’t you ? We saw London and Paris, And Berlin too And other cities —All known to you. We’re not at all sorry That this trip we took. For now we can add To our knowledge book. Oh yes, this poor bit of epic pertains to a couple in our family. Prof. Gehrke and D. Wetter were among those who this year went abroad to see how they live over there. By all reports they had a most enjoyable vacation. Even our noble editor and one of the con tributing editors, Frohmader and M. Westerhaus, have the old wan derlust and plan to go across in the near future, (That's what they think!) 氺

RED The dormitory police force is in full swing this year. With two tutors on the job a giiy can’t get away with anything anymore. They even keep their study door open at night so as to detect any culprit in the act of a minor misdemeanor. Oh well, it must be that the Col lege Board figured the Scotland Yard of the Junior class wouldn't be potential enough to handle the arising situations. This year the collegiate club room and the band room have been devoted to a more peaceful occupation. Likewise the piano rooms up on the 4th floor. They have all been converted into living quarters. 1 think with a little more training on the part of Ray Schultz we'll have a harmonious chorus of snorers in Room 81. Soon lie’ll have them try “Sleepers Awake.M J>y the end of the year, those on 4th floor should have gams like kangaroos, wliat with all the climbing they gotta do. This is little early, but does anyone have any old toys? It seems that a certain member of the Junior class derives great enjoy ment from the association with them. I won’t mention his name, but his first name is Dave and his last name begins with “S”. Boy, can he braid nice shade strings. Very artistic too! Rain and shine, Summer’s going. But do not pine, Soon t’will be snowing! 氺

This year NWC ouglita produce quite a few intellects and scholars. Now that the faculty room has been transformed into a classroom, let’s hope they were kind enough to leave some of their knowledge behind so’s to endow us unfortunate numbskills with a little bit of genius. Charmin’ Charley Says: “ ’Tis a bad year for Hebrew — too many flies And so with a bit of friendly advice: Wake up!, Mente Absente.

nine to take the Northern Division baseball crown in the BadgcrIllini Conference. This entitled them to travel to River Forest，. 111. to meet the Southern Division Champs 一 Concordia. The Goslings led until the last of the ninth when Concordia pushed over two runs to take a 4-3 lead. Jim Fricke, the victim of some poor support, pitched well enough to win, striking out 16 batters and allowing only four singles. Thus Concordia, River Forest is at present the baseball champion of the Badger-Illini Conference.

FOOTBALL The prospects of the ’50 version on the Northwestern football squad are as yet rather uncertain after only one week of practice. Coach Umnus has several returning lettermen around which to build his team. Again this year speed and drive will have to make up for the lack of weight. However, in spite of this weight handicap we are looking for this outfit to have a good season and to show us some real football. The season will be climaxed with the homecoming game against St. Procopious on October 27. As in the past, a big homecoming celebration is being planned with a luncheon and gettogether after the game. The 1950 Varsity football schedule follows: * Sept. 28 — Wis. Tech, (there) * Oct. 7 — Milton (here) Oct. 14 — Concordia, River Forest (here) Oct. 21 一 Mission House (there) Oct. 27 一 St. Procopious (here) Homecoming Nov. 4 一 Aurora (there) Nov. 11 一 Great Lakes Naval (here) * Night Games. 97

The founder of the Astor family fortune began his quest for financial fame in New York as a penniless but ambitious emi grant fur trader. Through thrift and energy he accumulated a substantial sum of money and set forth into the western wilder ness to found the settlement of Astoria in Oregon at the mouth of the Columbia River. His settlement soon served as the cen tral depot for the lucrative fur trade between the lakes and the Pacific. He sold his business at a considerable profit and em barked upon the most fabulous real estate enterprise America has ever known. Acre by acre, Astor bought up farm property on the outskirts of the then undeveloped city of New York. This land became the heart of Manhattan, and he amassed a fortune of $30,000,000. “The Landlord of New York City” died in the metropolis where he gained his immortal fame. The virtue of thrift has long been a Lutheran trait — and Lutherans know that the wisest, safest investment today is insurance. tho little professor show you how to invest your insurance dollars* Send for free folder en titled: “Lutheran Mutual Preferred Risk Life Insurance".

AN EXPERIENCE There comes a time in every man’s life when he must enjoy new experiences. Thus I was struck by a desire to take my present dreamboat” out on a date. A “dreamboat” to me is the member of the weaker sex on whom pH my thoughts are centered at the moment. Of course as time passes by, different “boats” come and go. My desire finally could not be kept under strict watch; so I de termined to take the only way that was open. How could I proceed and still keep my perspective of humanity ? At last the ideal moment came — I was returning to my residence when I saw Her ahead. I Quickened mv pace, my tongue became dry, hours passed, finally I caught up with Her. “.…but there was no joy in Mudville, Mighty Casey had struck out.” As I passed Her, I said, “Hello”, and hur ried on. II When I reached my abode, I began to mumble to myself and to out my hair. A thought vibrated through my brain cells: I could still dash out and explain mv position and, if necessary, ask Her pardon on bended knee; but there was no strength left — I had lost my golden opportunity. 98

RED The next day I took matters into my own hands. Willi quaking knees I dragged myself up to Her home. Using all my strength, I pushed the doorbell and hoped that it was out of order. No such luck! She opened the door and stood there waiting for me to speak. was speechless. After a few decades, my vocal cords regained llieir strength. Then I said in my most manly voice, words to this effect. “I would be very happy, if you would accompany me to the perform ancc of the stage production，“ — ”, tonight at “ — ’’ o'clock.M III The silence was overwhelming for a few seconds, but at last She pnswered in Her sweet, melodious voice, something which I mistook for a refusal, but which really was an acceptance, as I found out just in time to make the date. My joy was complete and my faith in humanity was restored. Anon.

SUMMER CRUISE During the past summer it was my good fortune to work on a carferry on Lake Michigan. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway operates a fleet of six carferries on Lake Michigan, carrying freight cars and autos between Ludington, Mich., and Milwaukee, Manito woc, and Kewaunee, Wis. Through the help of a former student at Northwestern, now an officer on one of the carferries, I was hired as a waiter on one of them, the Pere Marquette 21.

The “21” ordinarily runs on a two day schedule. Starting from Ludington about 9:30 A.M. it sails for Milwaukee 96 miles distant and arrives there at about 5 :oo P.M. Leaving Milwaukee again at about 8:00 P.M.，it reaches Ludington about 3:30 A.M. At 5130 it is off for Manitowoc, making the 65 mile trip in hours. The trip back to Ludington begins about 1 :oo P.M. About 7130 P.M. it is off for Kewaunee where it has to wait several hours for a train from Green Bay. As soon as the “21” is loaded it returns to Ludington, usually getting there about 8 .*30 A.M. At 9 *.30 it again sails for Mil waukee. The carferries very often do not leave or arrive on schedule, a fact which many passengers complain about. However, it is im possible to keep the boats on a close schedule. Weather conditions, especially wind and fog, very often lengthens the time necessary to cross. Then, too, on the Wisconsin side the carferries are loaded by other rpilroads and they usually do so at the time that suits them best. The schedule is also not iron-clad as concerns the destination of the boats, but is varied from time to time as the number of pass engers and the amount of freight at the various ports require. Thus the “21” might go to Kewaunee twice and not go to Manitowoc, or 99

RED it might go to Kewaunee in the morning and to Manitowoc in the evening, or it might go to Milwaukee two days in a row. After getting the necessary Coast Guard papers in Milwaukee, my brother, who had been hired as a waiter on one of the other boats, and I sailed for the first time on a carferry to Ludington on the eve ning of June 8. The following day was spent filling out forms and questionnaires and in getting a thorough physical examination. That evening, having gone through all of the red tape, we were ready to embark on our summer’s cruise. Upon boarding the “21” I was shown to the cabin which was to be my home for the summer. This cabin, identical with those used by the passengers, is about feet square. Two thirds of this space is ' occupied by the bunks. The remaining third is just large enough so that the two occupants, each pulling in his stomach as much as possible, can squeeze past each other as they move about in the room. I11 addition to the bunks each room contains a washbowl (with hot and cold water), an electric fan, two drawers, clothes hooks, a small seat attached to the wall, and a reading light over each bunk. Next, by inquiry and exploration, I found the location of the linen closet. There I found a plentiful supply of sheets and other bed ding. I was told that I could change my bed linen as often as I liked. There was also a supply of hand towels, bath towels, and soap placed there for the crew's use. Having made up my bunk and unpacked my belongings, I decided to explore the carferry. The greatest part of the ship is taken up by the car deck, which holds a maximum of 26 freight cars. Of course, if the boat is carrying autos these take the place of some of the freight cars. Beneath the car deck are the fireliole or boiler room, the engine room, and the flicker, that is, the quarters for the men of the engine depart ment. Above the car deck lies the red deck, so called because it is painted a dark red ; this is the main deck of the boat. In the forward half of the boat on this deck are found the lounge and the passenger staterooms flanking it on each side. The dining room is located just aft of the lounge. It contains ten tables for four, one of which is reserved for the captain. Aft of the dining room one finds the pan try and the galley on the starboard or right side and the officers’ and crew's messrooms on the port side. Next come the galley storeroom and the cooks’ quarters on the starboard side and the ship’s refrigera tor and a general storeroom on the port side. The after hallway ad joins these at the rear, running across the deck. Between the after hallway and the stern one finds some more passenger staterooms, quarters for the personnel of the steward’s department, and the quar ters for the chief engineer and the three assistant engineers. The top deck of the carferry is known as the gray deck. Up forward on the 100

RED

• ?,

gray deck the Texas, the quarters for the captain, mates, and able bodied seamen, is found. Atop it is the pilot house. Also on the gray deck one finds the various ventilators, the stacks, and the ship’s six lifeboats. The length of the “21” is 356 f«et. Its width is about sixty feet. It moves at a top speed of thirteen and one half knots, carries a crew of sixty-six in summer and has stateroom accommodations for fifty passengers. My first full day on board was spent chiefly in learning to serve all the various foods correctly. This was not without practical experience, however, for at dinner I was told to serve the Captain. Since this particular gentleman was reputed to be quite grouchy and not at all disinclined to let you know if you made a mistake the test of what I had learned did not leave me completely poised and confident. By the second day I was ready to go on the regular waiting schedule. My working day started at 7:30 A.M. and ended at 4:00 P.M. Others worked from 11130 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. and from 5:30 to 9:30 P.M. The night ^waiter served snacks from 10:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M. Ordinarily the first cook awoke me at 6:45 A.M. This gave me fifteen minutes to wash and comb and get into my waiter’s uniform — dark trousers and socks, black shoes, white shirt, black bow tie, and a white linen jacket supplied by the company. Break fast for the steward’s department is served at 7 :oo A.M. One is allowed a half an hour for every meal. Shortly after 7130 we pre pared to open the dining room. This included getting juices, bread, butter, and whatever else was necessary out of the ship’s refrigera tor and bringing them to the pantry, where we prepared the trays. Then after the water pitchers had been filled and the dining room lights had been turned on we were ready for business. Usually two waiters worked breakfast, although it was occasionally necessary lo put a third one to work. The dining room closed at 9 :oo and as soon as the last customer had left the waiters on duly could begin to clean up. This consisted of clearing and stripping the tables, washing the glasses and silverware, getting out clean linen, setting the tables, sweeping the floor, and, if necessary, spraying the flies. This done, the salad for the day had to be prepared ancl a relish dish for the captain’s table gotten ready. By the time these tasks were completed it usually was n :oo A.M. and time for lunch. The term luncheon may be misleading since it was a complete dinner. From 11:30 until 2:30 the dining room was open for luncheon. Five waiters were cm duty, each being assigned to two tables. After the last customer’s had left it was again time to clean up. By 4 :oo P.M. everything was ready for dinner and I, having put in my eight hours was through for the d ay..The hour until dinner time was usually spent chasing a few of those forty winks or, if the weather permitted and my am101

RED bition was sufficient, in reading on deck. The problem of spending one’s free time was a major one. From 4:00 to 5 :oo and from 5 ：30 to 10130, my usual bedtime, I was free to do as I pleased. Of course some time was spent in keeping the room clean, washing clothes, shining one’s shoes, and taking a shower: but with these tasks finished a major portion of the free time still remained to be spent. Every other evening we were in Mil down waukee for two or three hours so that it was possible to town if one so desired. Usually a ball game was started by crc'v members on a small park next to the slip, offering about the only opportunity for physical exercise. Bull sessions in the messrooms offered another men ns of passing the spare time. Playing cards and listening to llie radio were the favorite means of recreation of others, but since I was a rank amateur at cards and didn’t have a radio these were not for me. Consequently I spent the greater share of my free time reading. This was agreeable enough to me; however, the one difficulty here was that the only place where one could read without interruption was in one’s bunk. Having had little strenuous exercise, T would quickly become drowsy if I read in a prone prosition so that at first T could do very little reading in an evening. Fortunately I became accustomed to it in time, and, with the occasional stimulus of a pipe, I could spend the greater part of an evening reading. Altliough I wouldn’t 1)e inclined to recommend it as a lifetime occupation, working on a carferrv as a waiter is, I think, one of the most interesting jobs one can find for a summer vacation. One thinks first of all of tlie mere fact that one is “on the water”, which is in itself ouite a unique experience for us landlubbers. One thinks of the interest and curiosity aroused by the intricacies of a fairly lar^c ship. No less interesting is the experience of seeing how the “other half” as represented by some of the crew members’ lives. Not quite so interesting is the experience known as seasickness, ex cept when you yourself are not suffering from it. The most interest ing experience and the one which gave me most pleasure however, v，as the opportunity to meet and talk with people from all parts of the country, people with all kinds of different national, political, re1ie：ious pnd economical backgrounds. I think of the two young fel lows driving from New York to Montana in a Model A to get a job on a ranch, the guide from the north woods of Canada, the speech p’kI dramatics professor from Minot (S. Dak.) Teachers College, the ardent “Packer Backer” from Green Bay, the rich old fussbudget from New York who was dissatisfied with the best we had to offer lier. the five Dutch Reformed ministers and professors from Penn sylvania returning from a cpmp meeting in Wisconsin who treated me tn several humorous stories in Pennsylvania Dutch, and, on the distaff side, the three, not bad looking, young ladies from Alabama 102

9RED visiting the North for th« first time. All these made the job of wait ing on table a most interesting one. Nor is the job lacking in the more material rewards. In addition to the $1.23 per hour which the company paid one could expect to make an average of well over $2.50 per day in tips. Board and room of course was free and cannot be overlooked when profit is consid ered. The diet on the boats was about as well-balanced, nutritious, varied, good tasting, and expensive as I expect to enjoy in my life time. We all think that our Mother’s cooking is the best, but very few mothers can afford to serve steak several times a week, offer a choice of ham or turkey every Sunday, have a fresh salad for every dinner or offer you a choice of two or three desserts for every meal. Needless to say, my pocketbook was not the only part of me that was slightly heavier at the end of the summer. No job, however pleasant, is entirely without its annoyances and irritations. Mine was no exception. It is bad enough to have one or two bosses barking at you, but a waiter lias no less than four bosses telling him what to do. His immediate superior is the headwaiter who lets you know when you make a mistake. The cook is also your superior; he will give you a verbal dressing down if you aren’t pres ent to carry out your orders as soon as he has set them up, but doesn’t appreciate it if you ask him to hurry and fill an order that you have been waiting half an hour for. The steward who has final puthority over you may also on occasions try to confuse you by giv ing directions just when you are busiest. Nor can wc overlook the customer who gives directions as to how he wants a certain dish preoared or what he wants left out of his salad, or raises a fuss when he has to wait for service because the dining room is filled. All this could be borne, however, with a certain degree of equanimity if one had room to work in. However, in a space originally designed for two or three, five waiters have to prepare their trays. When the dining room is full, traffic in the pantry and galley approximates that of downtown Chicago at rush hour. Suffice it to say that one’s nerves tend at times to become somewhat frayed. Nevertheless, I am certain that the experience was valuable and that my Cruise was a very pleasant and profitable way of spending the summer. Martin Westcrhaus

RED PICTURES AND PREACHERS Every so often Hollywood discovers a book about a minister that is considered worthy of reproduction. But filming such a sub ject offers as many difficulties as the most inflammatory racial issue. Neither the majority nor the minority dare be offended (they pay!) —and with the numerous divisions in the church today that w a problem. So a movie preacher dare not be too Baptist or too Metho dist or too Unitarian or too Lutheran or even too Catholic. In other words, he can’t have any specific convictions, for they are too con troversial. But since a minister occasionally does believe and support something, lie is given the glorious mission of fighting for “good”, that is, for no special good, but just for that all-inclusive good that makes every man a brotlier and friend to every fellovvman. Every body approves of and applauds that calling, but, because of the press of business, it takes a minister to execute it successfully. The delicflitfiil result is that after a struggle with the evil veneer superimposed (、n that innate goodness of man the pastor guides a glowingly unanimous congregation. This is properly depicted by the entire congregation’s lustily singing “Climbing up the Golden Stairs'*, or some similarly lively hymn. And the last recalcitrant sinners, fully converted and humbly repentant, sing loudest. Since all of this occurs within an hour or two of showing time, some ingenuity is required in portraying so great a reversal. Con sequently brotlier-love becomes contagious. After several heroic examples bv their narson the congregation ceases their quarreling and wrangling and become the lambs a pastor remii res. A ffood cxample is a fertile breeder. In this supersonic age Hollywood has accnniDlishefl in two hours whnt most ministers fail to complete in a lifetime. The movie may riglitly be billed as stupendous. With this method of accomplishing： his work the movie preacher meets some noteworthy experiences. In “Stars in My Crown”，for instance, the minister, armed with a couple of six-shooters, held liis first service in a barroom, promptly built a church and married a wife. Soon he \va^ watching his son recover from typhoid fever and seeing it snread tlirougliout the entire town. After much anguish vered over the doctor’s accusation that lie was the carrier he discov. the agent, a polluted well. Nonetheless he still had time to rescue a Nesrro from lynching by the hirelings of a greedy merchant. Not a bad week's work for anybody! With such a schedule there is little time for writing a sermon. Therefore, movie services consist of singingy hymns 一 gay hymns, “Stars in My Crown” is the latest favorite .And as the last black sheep \v?nflers into church the hymn swells to triumphant propor tions amid the general beams of approval and welcome. 104

RED During the week the minister lives in the manse — unless he’s out on some dramatic mission. But for such a preacher it’s a rather precarious ownership. His narrow-minded principles have aroused antagonism among the members. At least once during the movie the members of the congregation would just as soon see the house empty. But conviction triumphs and the sun does shine again in Mudvillc. Or else the minister would prefer to have them let the rain pour in or watch the house burn down — as he prepares to move into a new parsonage. Parson Spencer grinned as the house turned to ashes — and still kept “One Foot in Heaven”. Particularly to students preparing for the ministry it is interest ing to observe an average pastor — Hollywood style. Personality is vour password and ally. Show your people that you’re q good Joe and they’ll be good Joes too. But make it inescapably heroic, and the world will be only too glad to feed in your pastures. However, if you're a realist and like to see authenticity, the Romans coined the neatest phrase for judging picture preachers — “cum grano salis” ！ J. A. H.

THE COACH TALKS TO HIS TEAM Buddy, this is your game. When you get in there you are quar terback and captain. The north goal is between heaven and eternal life — that’s your goal. The south goal is hell. The ball is your im mortal soul. If you carry it over the right goal you win; if you don’t vou lose for all eternity. Take a look at the opposition. The line from end to end is sin. At right end is pride — if you don’t watch out lie’ll mow you down like grass. Right tackle, envy. Right guard, sloth. Left guard, avarice. Left tackle, anger. And at left end, lust; keep out of his way because he’ll be in your backfield all afternoon. Backing： up the line in the secondary is ungodliness at center and de sire of the eyes at fullback. ,Behind them are desire of the flesh at risfht-liRlfljack, and in the safety position, the quarterback, calling the plavs, is tlie devil himself. At left-li?lfback is the pride of life. It's a good outfit and they have been playing together a long time. They know all the tricks ?nd they have won a lot of games. You too have an all star team 一 The only team that has ever beaten Satan and his gang. A team with the records of all wins and no losses. In the line you have seven champions — the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost. At right end, wisdom; right tackle, courage; right ^uard, understanding; center, counsel; left guard, piety; left tackle, fortitude; at left end, fear of the Lord. In the backfield you have be sides yourself at quarterback three of the best, faith, hope, and charity. 105

RED You know the rules — the ten commandments. No dirty play ing gets by. The referee is Almighty God Himself and nothing gets by Him. You can’t win without the ball — and this is your immortal soul. If you lose it, you’re stuck. God has given it into your keeping. You’re the quarterback and captain, so run your team well. Keep in condition by being faithful to your religion. Don’t forget practice every Sunday morning at church. Have and use the sure-fire play that always works — prayer! You have had a lot of previous play ing experience, so get out there and play ball for all your worth. You have only this one game and everything depends on it. You don’t know what quarter it is — the game may be in its closing minutes. And one last word to you buddy — there are no ties. Contributed by Glen Unke

AUTUMN AFTERNOON “What is so fair as a day in October ? Then, if ever, come per fect days.” Which other month would more deserve the right to be substituted for the “June” of the poet’s original text? If it is not the “best” season of the year, certainly fall is the most colorful. Why not leave your books on the shelf for just this one afternoon and join us on a leisurely hike? It’s a bright, sunshiny afternoon as we leave the dormitory and head down the hill toward the river, past that well-known landmark, the water tower. The air has that certain invigorating crispness which only an autumn afternoon possesses. We approach the old-fashioned bridge which spans the Rock River, and stop a moment to watch the endless stream of water as it skims underneath, carrying with it an abundance of brightly colored leaves. Once across, we head into the woods, dragging our feet to pro duce as much of that pleasant rustling as possible. All around us, from elms, oaks and maples, the dead leaves float liltingly to the ground. A snake slithers across the path just ahead of us. To the right the orange berries of the bittersweet attract our eye. We stop at a turn in the path to sample the fruit of a thornapple tree. By midafternoon a few feathery cirrus clouds have gathered, and the sky has acquired a typical autumnal haze. Just ahead a deserted building of considerable size beckons, whetting the explorer’s instinct within us. The shutter creaks open, and the window behind it, still in one piece, responds easily. The three of us lose no time in entering the gloomy structure. A thorough search of the downstairs reveals nothing but spiderwebs, broken glass and thickly accumulated dust. Now the upstairs. The creaky stairway, blocked off at the bottom, is nevertheless ascended without dis 106

PRED aster. The door to the left is closed, but responds to a sharp kick, and reveals nothing but emptiness. And then from a room clown the ball . . . footsteps! We freeze behind the door and are considerably relieved to meet two classmates. Leaving this gloomy atmosphere we reach the bank of the river. The opposite shore looks inviting, so we pull off our shoes and socks. The water is icy, chilling the blood in the veins of the legs, but proÂ viding a refreshing bath for our weary feet. Upon reaching the bank, we turn toward home but take one last look at the distant, hilly shoreline of the river, with the late afternoon sun now illuminating the panorama of colorful foliage in a most beautiful way. It is indeed an afternoon well spent, and one whose indescribable beauty gives ample testimony to the power of its Almighty Creator.

Richard Farrell Plays .. hose present at the concert given in our gymnasium the evening of October 14th by the young New Zealand pianist, Richard Farrell, witnessed a demonstration of superb musical talent. Mr. Farrell has had quite a career in his twenty-four years. He was a child prodigy, composing at an early age. Eminent musicians, touring Australia, commented very favorably upon hearing him per form. In 1945, at the age of eighteen, he was sent by the American pianist, William Kapell, to the renown piano teacher, Olga Samaroff, under whose direction he studied until her death in 1948. Shortly thereafter he made his debut att Carnegie Hall. Since then he has made repeated tours hi Europe and America. Mr. Farrell opened his program with three short numbers, Var iations on “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” by Mozart, “Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring” by Bach, and the “Turkish March” by Beethoven. The Mozart was played in the best manner, with beautiful shading 108

RED and crystal clear tones. It made one wish that Mr. Farrell would have played the Mozart Sonata originally scheduled. His Bach was performed with deep feeling, the theme emerging with utmost clarity. The next portion of the program was devoted to various com positions of Chopin. The “Scherzo in C-sharp minor” proved to be a high point among them. There was an attack of octaves in the manner of bravura interspersed by trickling streams of the most in tense lyrical melody. The “Nocturne in F-sharp major” also was en hanced by a shining melody line. In fact, an overall comment which might be in place here is the remarkable way in which Mr. Farrell brought out the touches of melodic poeticism in all his selections, from the “Nocturne” to the “Little White Donkey” by Ibert. Mr. Farrell next presented a group of pieces by Modernists, in cluding Ravel, Ibert, Granados and Albeniz. He showed himself a master of both classical and modern styles. He ended his program with two contrasting numbers by Liszt, the “Sonetto del Petrarca”， No. 104, and the “Hungarian Rhapsody” No. (3. The “Sonetto” is deeply lyrical and romantic, in the style of Chopin. The last selection presented Liszt as most music lovers know him, a composer of florid melody and variation, who summons forth all the powers of the artist. The performance of the “Rhapsody” had the audience clapping their hands uproariously. Mr. Farrell showed his appreciation by giving us four encores, two Chopin waltzes, a potpouri of Strauss waltzes, and the “Ritual Fire Dance”. One can only say that Mr. Farrell is certainly climbing up the ladder of success and will soon be on the top rung with other great artists of the piano.

Monday evening, September 24, Mr. Otto Schacht presented his lecture-concert in the gymnasium. This was a recall for Mr. Schacht, since he had performed here at Northwestern ten years ago. For those of us who heard him for the first time it was obvious why he had been asked to return. Mr. Schacht’s program was presented informally and evidentally succeeded in creating the feeling that he was taking everyone into his confidence and telling him something that was worthy of such a status. Mr. Schacht showed us what music, especially singing, could do for a minister. In singing various songs the sin nust run the gamut of emotions 一 the devotion of Beethoven’s ewige Himmel”，the conviction of “Without A Song”，the contrasting pride and humility of “The Publican”, the love of Srieg’s “Ich Liebe Dicli”，the majesty of “Largo”，or the tenderness of “Some Enchanted Eve109

RED ning”. Especially in “The Road to Mandalay” did iMr. Schacht sing and dramatize superbly. The secret of presenting such a variety of songs successfully is sincerity. Few men write original ideas into their speeches, but their sincerity and conviction in what they say makes their message effec tive or ineffective. Thus, singing as a hobby, not a profession, can offer invaluable aid to any speaker. The greatest tribute one of Chopin’s friends could offer to a pre lude was that when Chopin had ceased playing it in a huge cathedral, there was not a sound in the great hall for several a>ved seconds. Ot to Schacht passed as impressive a test when he concluded his pro gram with Malotte’s 'The Lord’s Prayer”. J. A. H.

Naked City • • HjKtepilm a movie in black and white with real background and people, ?nd the result will be an exhibition of human pathos and real ism. New York is shown as a city whose population is a conglom eration of many kinds of peopk such as those who live on Park Ave nue and those who inhabit the slums, those who make an honest but modest living and those who live dishonestly. All extremes of human society play their parts in Mark Hellinger’s production, NAKED CITY. Tlic story of the mysterious murder of a beautiful blonde model in her New York apartment and final track down of the mur derer bv the city police, which is climaxed by the chase across Brook lyn Bridge, provides more than ample entertainment. Barry Fitz gerald as the chief of police with thirty-eight years of experience plays a likable pnd highly intelligent character. Co -starring with him is Howard Duff as Frank Niles whose natural attraction for women finally gets him in jail when he becomes involved with the dangerous blonde victim. Add all this up, and the result is a first rate picture. GeeBee

Anna And the King of Siam ... The first movie presented this school year by the Junior Class took us back into the history of that still mysterious far-eastern country of Siam. The time was about i860, before western civiliza tion had even begun to trickle into that country. A certain English woman, Anna Leonowens, expertly portrayed on the screen by Irene Dunne, was hired by th« King of Siam to teach the royal children English and other normal school subjects. Anna was a widow with one small son. H^r struggle in Bangkok 110

RED against the wiles of the king and officials of the palace presented a most intriguing story. The king of Siam, Maha Mongkut, was played by Rex Harrison. He succeeded in presenting the figure of a king who was trying to search out what he thought would be best for his people. The im* perialistic countries of that generation, France and Great Britain, were trying to encroach upon the territory of Siam. At this point Anna entered the picture and gradually led the king into the proper channels of thought and action. An amusing part of the picture was the king’s ineffectual strivings against the will of Anna. Anna suc ceeded in bringing civilization and the beginning of personal freedom into Siam through the education of the crown prince. There were many points of great interest and pathos — the exe cution of the slave Tuptim, played by Linda Darnell; the death of Anna’s son; the first court banquet for the Europeans; the death scene of the king; the coronation of the crown prince. These plus many other scenes made up a movie of the first quality. Tt is to be hoped that the remainder of this year’s program will be of the same caliber. Incidentally, this movie was based on a true account as told by Margaret Landon in her book ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM. I would advise anyone whose interest was aroused by the movie to read this book, which presents the adventures of Anna in greater detail.

Are You Making the Most out of Your College Years? :‘'

No, is the answer that the average student would expect to hear, and perhaps that answer is correct. Let’s examine the question a little further. It is not a profound one nor is it one that should be left unconsidered. Obviously there will be two sides to it, but there should be only one correct answer. This problem brings up many questions such as: What are we up here for? What are we expected to get out of our courses ? Do we study enough ? What should we do with our spare time ? But I think that the deciding factor is — am I going to be able to look back on my college years fifteen years hence with satisfaction and say — “Those were the good old days”，or is this old refrain going to pop up.— MIf I had it to do over again — ” I think that nearly all of us 、vi!l subscribe to the opinion that book learning is a formal thing and quite unpractical. It is true that the training we receive in getting this book learning is invaluable and also that the book learning itself is necessary. However, there are other necessary things that we are not taught in school. Time seems to be the all important element. The time spent in classes is fixed. The time spent in preparation for 111

RED these classes necessarily will vary. Not everyone can do the required work in the same amount of time. However, I believe that everyone can do his daily work and still have plenty of time for any extra curricular activities that he may desire. It is what is done in this remaining time that makes our college years worthy of being remembered. Here one may also find the reason for the failure of literary societies and the like at Northwest ern. Certainly it can't be that the courses are getting harder or the students more stupid as years go by. Not too many years ago, North western had not only a band and junior band, but also an orchestra. There were the choruses plus select student vocal groups. Besides, there were two literary societies, and for nearly all these organizations you hnd to compete for memberships. Plays were occasionally put on with fjreat expense of effort. Now if an organization requires any effort it is shied away from. Why ? Quite probably the answer to the question of school spirit falls in right along with this. If we are willing to do something for the school we have school spirit. I believe that everyone should engage in at least one extra-curri cular activity. Sports are important. Practice in public speaking in the form of debates and plays would be invaluable. The fact that we get too little of tills in classes can be seen from the pronounced hesitancy on the part of even Juniors and Seniors in College to get itp before their own classmates and deliver some short memorized piece. This does not speak well for people whose future work will be to appear and speak in public. Of course, there are some who overdo this whole thing. It is not g'ood to belong to too many organizations. One should have time for “bull sessions.” Also everyone should have time just to sit around and consider the world around him or to take a look at na ture and learn to enjoy it. We should have a knowledge of our con temporary world as it is portrayed in newspapers and magazines. Politics should not be foreign to us. There should always be time for a concert or plav. a movie or date. The rallying cry of the stud ents is the ill-used “Don’t let book learning interfere with your edu cation”. Unfortunptely the meaning of education is often stretched to include what is not necessary. Yet, in my opinion it is true and is an adagfe worthy to be followed. We are not here to have a good time at the expense of hard work put in on studying, but we are here to work hard and make the most out of our talents and thereby have a good time. Perhaps in terest in extra-curricnlar activities and school spirit are gradually becoming a thing- of the past as the resuit of the influence of easy money. More money makes it possible to go away from school in order to find pleasures to occupy our time. Nevertheless let’s make judicious selection of our activities, both at school and away, so that we may in later years consider our college days well spent. 112

Well, the football season is here in full bloom, showing forth the wim, wigor and 'vitality of the athletes. The variegated shades of the falling leaves instill a feeling of joy intermingled with sadness in the hearts of many as the school year takes another mighty leap forward — 47 days of school having passed. The students’ noses are getting pointed as they keep them to the grindstone — and time marches on.

Ode To Home-coming Hold that line! Hold that line! Come on Team, you’re doing fine. Smack ’em, block ’em, push ’em away; You’re on the road to victory! The gang's behind you, Cheering all the way. So let’s get together And make it a real HOME-COMING DAY

Apparently the Seniors didn’t think that the landscaping crew did a very good job, for they very joyously took off a couple of days to improve the appearance of our sylvan campus. Must say they did a neat job at that. Come spring, the campus grounds should take on a rather artistic appearance. At least to the outsider. 氺

114

RED There’s a lot of beef on the hoof at this school, as the creaks and groans of the chairs and desks will attest. Finally, one old trusty member of the seating staff could endure it no longer. With a loud and splintering moan it collapsed under the overwhelming load of several collegiates. Yep, that old bench in the collegiate chapel has given up the ghost. I wonder in what year B.C. it was made. 氺

Footballs and beanies, Come around in fall. But for fun and thrills They’re not all. The Sexta quartets, The speeches of Seegar, All help to create A school spirit eager. The midnight fire alarms, A plunger man on duty, Preps marching in step, —All add to campus beauty.

FLASH! !!!!! “The Case of the Missing Keys” or “The Sewer Drain Claims Its Victim” (As related by reporter Tutor Eggert) Tutor Voss recently (about a month ago) “lost” his bunch of keys in a mysterious freak happening of nature amid “odd-— surroundings. When he saw that any attempt to retrieve the lost articles would be futile, he became rather depressed in spirits. However, Tutor R. Eggert very courteously offered the part-time use of his set of keys until another set could be obtained, with this bit of ad monition :“Please, Robert, tie those keys on tighter next lime, hull!”

The “survival of the fittest” is an old saying usually applied to times of famine and to the days when knights were bold. We don’t exactly have a famine up here, and I don’t think our knights (where are they?) are any too bold, and still the adage goes. No sir, the vul tures and scavengers on the plains have nothing on us. Man, can some of the fellows in the dining hall ever stow away the grub. Seems like some of the fellows are boarding a couple of tapeworm. *

Coincidence! ! During a lecture on the nomadic migrations of the German tribes in the early Middle Ages, the professor saw a mass migration of his students from one side of the classroom to the other. Evidently the wanderlust of those old German tribes was transmitted to the restless Juniors, and the unfastened desk-seats proved to be no hin drance to a migration. * LOVE Boy meets girl The story goes, Ask David Kock, For one who knows.

But lie’s not the only one Whom Cupid’s arrows have struck; For Martin Janke also Has had his bit of luck. When her name is mentioned, His heart begins to glow. And Janke gets so excited, He hardly knows what to do. Thus, the story of love goes on, Bringing boy and girl together.

RED We’ve all heard of daylight-saving time, mountain standard time, central standard time and the like, but here’s something new, student daylight time. Apparently T. V. Ylvisaker was on this time schedule, for on one of the tutor’s (which one, please?) nocturnal prowls about 9:30 P.M., T. V.’s bed was discovered still in the rumpled and untidy condition that should have been remedied by 10:30 A.M., which, T. V., doesn’t stand for After Morning. 木

Wonderings: 1) Why aren’t there bubblers on every floor in the dorm ? 2) Why does one hear the hissing of snakes in the Junior Religion class? 3) Why is it that the Latin schedule was reduced just after the Juniors were through with Latin ? 4) What happened to the dueling club that was started last year? 5) Why do we have classes on Saturday morning? Our home football games down at Washington Park have in dicated to us that there is a virtual Bill Stern at N.W.C. Surely you’ve noticed the clear, mellow, golden-throated voice of Mummy Janke as lie announces the tremendous gains of our superior team in action. Keep it up, Martin; it all adds up to a thrilling game. Charmin’ Charley Says: “Much studying maketh a man wise, “But helpeth him not when he dies.** * Thus the candle goes out as another scandal sheet comes to a long-awaited close. But you fellows have gotta do something exciting so that I will have something to write about when the next deadline comes around. Til then, Aw Reservoir!

Goslings Whip Miners In Opener

Wis. Tech. 7

It was an outweighted and outnumbered Gosling team that trotted onto the field for the opening game against the rough and tough Miners, but it was an outfought Miner team that left the gridÂ iron after four quarters of rugged football. Northwestern began its onslaught early but lacked the necessary punch to put the ball over the goal line. Electing to receive, the Goslings marched all the way clown to the Miner twenty five yard line before losing the ball on downs. From there, Seely, swift Miner halfback, took the ball on a reverse and romped 63 yards before Krueger nailed him from behind on the eight yard stripe. After two plays from scrimmage Webster took it over for the counter. Brown added the extra point. It was shortly before the half that Free finally capped another Northwestern drive after taking a lateral from A1 Bitter on the five. Paul Westerliaus added the point to make it seven all at the half. Midway in the third quarter the Goslings took the ball in their own 28 and marched all the way for their second touchdown, with Manthey plunging over from the three. Early in the fourth quarter Dick Buss, hard charging Gosling tackle, blocked a Miner punt on their own 27. Northwestern, however, failed to capitalize on the break and could get no farther than the eleven, where they lost the ball on downs. After picking up one first down Plattville was forced to punt. Seely sent a boomer to the Northwestern thirty-five, where Manthey grabbed the pigskin and with the help of some terrific blocking went the distance for Northwestern's third T.D. Westerhaus again added the extra point, making the score 20-7. The rest of the game was played around midfield with Northwestern in possession on the Miner 45 at the final gun.

N.W.C. 32 Hard Hitting Goslings Blast Milton Milton 19 Losing the toss, the Goslings were forced to kick to the Milton Wildcats, generally considered serious contenders for the Badger Illini crown. The Wildcats took the ball and in seven plays carried it down to the Northwestern io yard line. There, however, a slash ing tackle, a fumble, and a quick recovery by Dick Buss gave the home team possession of the ball. Starting from their own io, the Goslings marched 90 yards for a T.D., picking up six first downs on the way. Don Bitter went around end from the one for the score. Westerliaus’ attempted kick was wide. Northwestern scored again early in the second period when Manthey smashed over from the 2, culminating a 60 yard drive. With the score standing at 12-0 Milton got the first of its easy touchdowns. Taking over on their own 23 the Wildcats scored on one play, a pass from Nunes to Natter, covering 77 yards. Natter added the extra point, making it 12-7 at the half. A spirited Milton team took the kickoff in the third quarter and went all the way on a series of passes and runs. Nunes passed to Kliefote for the final 13 yards. The kick was wide, giving Milton a 13-12 lead. Bob Mueller put the Goslings ahead once more when he picked up a loose ball on the Milton 15 and ran over for a T.D. When Westerhaus added the point it was 19-13 Northwestern. How ever, it took Milton only a few minutes to get back into the ball game. Another long pass, covering 75 yards, from Nunes to Callum made it even up at 19 all. The never-say-die Goslings, however, were not finished yet. Ed Stelter, Gosling line-backer, set up Northwestern’s fourth touchdown with a pass interception on Milton's 23. From there it took the home boys only five plays to push it over, with Don Bitter smashing over from the one. Westerhaus again added the point to give Northwestern a 26-19 edge. Another pass interception, this time by A1 Bitter, set up the Goslings’ final touchdown. Man119

RED they capped the drive when he took the ball on a reverse and went 15 yards into the end zone. The kick was wide and as the final horn sounded it was 32-19 in favor of the fighting Goslings. Again it was the devastating ground attack that gave Northwestern the victory. Sharp blocking, hard running, and alert signal calling gave the Gos lings 362 yards on the ground compared to their opponent’s 75.

The outcome of "this contest t was evident from the minute the Watertown team got its hands on the r ball. With the linemen cutting the Concordia boys down like weeds . and the backs making the most of the blocking, the Goslings pushed over no less than six touch i downs. It was early in the first quarter that Manthey bulled his way !: over from the one-yard stripe, climaxing a seventy-five yard march. The Cougars, however, were not to be denied and came back with a T.D. of their own. Greve, Concordia back, caught the Varsity secr ondary flatfooted on a slant off tackle and raced 37 yards for the score. When Gerdes converted it w : as 7-6 Concordia.

the second quarter. Once more before the half the Goslings scored, with Bitter Taking it over, to make it 19-7. The longest run of the evening was A1 Bitter’s 85 yard clash on the opening kick of the second half. The little field general took the kickoff on his own 5, picked up some excellent blocking and ran all the way to the Concordia io before he was pulled down from behind. After two plays Don Bitter took the ball on a smash off tackle and went over from the seven for Northwestern^ fourth T.D. Ed. Stelter’s alert play gave the Gos lings another chance. Intercepting a Cougar pass on the Concordia 30 Stelter ran it back to the 24. A1 Bitter carried it down to the four but two five yard penalties set the Goslings back on the 14. From there, with Don Bitter lugging it over, the Varsity scored once more. This time Westerhaus added the extra point to make it 32-7. The final counter was made by Phil Kuckhalin on a fake pass play from 11 yards out. The point after was blocked and the score stood at 3S-7. This third conference victory leaves N.W.C. on the top of the heap in the B.I.C. together with Mission House, which is also undefeated thus far. The Statistics N.W.C.

••The First Lady of Aviation'* from the WORLD coyrioiy Flqld Entorprise

Affectionately known as AE, this titian-haired, freckled-face girl from Kansas flew her way into the hearts of people every where. She sky rocketed to fame in 1932 when she became the first woman pilot to solo trans-Atlantic. AE went on to estab lish many other aviation firsts for both men and women pilots. Her courageous flying feats were headlined in newspapers throughout the world and her infectious smile beamed famil iarly from magazine covers. On the last lap of a round-the-world flight in 1937, AE ex pertly “revved” up her Electra, fled down the New Guinea runway, pointed the plane’s nose into the vast blue heavens and disappeared from sight forever.

BERCHTESGADEN During tlie last few weeks of the war in Europe in the Spring of 1945, my division had been ordered to capture the small Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden. This little town, tucked neatly away in a mountain valley of the rugged Alps, was Hitler’s mountain retreat, nml as such, of course, had considerable military value. It had been the ultimate objective of our division since the Normandy invasion, did so we were not surprised upon receiving orders to take it. not look forward to the assignment, however, as the terrain in that section of the country is ideally suited for defensive warfare. But at this late day in i the war the enemy resistance suddenly collapsed, pvk\' we occupied the town without firing a single shot. And it so happened that at the war’s end we were here in this beautiful little town, and here we were to spend the next few weeks as occupation troops. From a military standpoint, it is not difficult to understand why Hitler chose Berchtesgaden as the site of his mountain retreat. The town has a population of perhaps only three or four thousand, not large enough to make it a military objective for any ordinary reason, and its surrounding- terrain greatly simplifies the problem of military security. It is logical to assume that he was also somewhat influ enced in his choice by the great natural beauty of the place, although I am not aware that Hitler had any particular appreciation of the 122

RED aesthetic. I would be inclined to think otherwise. But no one with the power of sight could be indifferent to the extraordinary natural beauty of the town’s setting. Several miles to the south is towering, snow-capped Watzmann Peak. Rising abruptly from the southeastern ecl^e of the town is a lesser peak, towering perhaps a thousand feet above the town. Between these two mountains is Konig See, a very deep mountain lake. Shielded from the wind on three sides, its surface is usually mirror smooth, and its 贫reat depth gives it a d?rk, blue hue. To "the north of this lake, and in the lush, green vallev between the mountains, nestles the town of Berchtesgaden. Small wonder that Hitler and his cohorts chose this beautiful little town for a retreat and summer home. It was on the crest of the mountain peak east of the town that Hitler had built his “Eagle’s Nest” as it was known to the American G. T.’s. Set out on the edge of the peak of the perpendicular western f?ce of the mountain, this concrete, hexagonal structure was the conference building where Hitler and his staff mapped much of the strategy of the war. The conference room itself was a large, circular room comprising1 the west side of the building and overlooking1 the town and valley below. An interesting feature of the “Eagle’s Nest” wps an elevator shaft which extended straight down into the interior of the mountain for a considerable distance. On the lower, northern slopes of this mountain were the summer liomes of Hitler, Goering, Himmler, Hess and several others. Dur ing： the last months of the war, these homes had been badly bombed, although the town of Berchtesgaden itself was spared, a fact which attests to the accuracy of our bombardiers. Hitler’s home was, quite nnturally, I suppose, the largest and most pretentious, although it did not apoear to have been as luxuriously furnished as was that of Goerin^. Hitler’s home also had a ballroom and bar, the latter being standarcl equipment in most of the others too. A striking feature of Goerin^s home was an enormous bathtub, two or three times normal size and very deep. Goering was not the sort of man who would have any compunction about spending taxpayer’s money for a snecially built bathtub. Not soon to be forgotten is the huge collec tion of art treasures which he had pillaged from the conquered countries and hidden in caves in the country about Berchtesgaden. A regiment of our division spent weeks hauling those treasures in by the truckload, filling room after room with priceless treasures gathered from art museums all over the continent. It is doubtful if they were all eventually returned to their rightful owners. Our division remained in Berchtesgaden several weeks before hein泛 moved down into Austria and thence back to France and Eng land and at last back to the States. I have lasting memories of many cities anc! obces I have visited both before and since being at Berchte«gaden, but few have ever made such an indelible impression on 123

赛RED my memory as that little town near Konig See. I think I shall al ways feel that any other view of nature’s scenery will be second rate compared to that breathtaking panorama from the “Eagle’s Nest.” Reiter

ON PHYSICAL ASSETS Which of these physical assets, strength, height or beauty, is the most influential in the world today ? In order to answer this question let us trace the development of influence gained by each asset over the years. Shortly after time began there were few people per unit of land area. No government was established and everyone was a law unto himself. But unscrupulous persons began to commit crimes against their fellow men. A man was dependent upon his own physical strength and prowess for he had no ginis or atomic bombs with which lie might ward off an attack His only asset was his own physical strength. If lie were stronger than the attacker he could protect his possessions and his loved ones. In time his strength gave him prestige. Because of this prestige he was acknowledged unbeatable and automatically became the leader. In his hands were placed decisions of every sort. Might made right. Somewhat later strength became associated with height. If a man were taller than his fellow men he was assumed to be more powerful than any one of them. The fact of height having more strength than non-height was proved time and again until it became nearly axiomatic. On account of the prestige gained by height, not always was the strongest man by test chosen leader but the one who towered above his fellows. Thus the position of leadership gave pres tige and every man of height dominated his fellow men. Height be came a byword for leadership and everyone else had to look up to the tallest as the leader. The last attribute under discussion is beauty. People are born with a sense of beauty and good proportion. They think of beauty as a god-like quality. Therefore they prefer the company of persons of beauty to those of less comely appearance. Beauty may be only skin deep, but it is also the ephemeral spice of life and as such is greatly sought. Beauty rose to its greatest heights during the time of kings and their courts. A king because of his position had power to surround himself with the beautiful things in life of which the beautiful person is the crown. The king selected his courtesans for their physical beauty. Because of his inherent love for beauty he showed them his gratitude for their presence by making them offi cials in his kingdom. On account of their positions these people of 124

RED physical beauty gained prestige. Then beauty of appearance became associated with authority and people of beauty were made leaders with that quality as their sole asset. In the world today the leaders are generally those who combine height and strength in their personal makeup. They are the ones who give the advice and shape men’s opinions. They are the men to whom one must look up. But don’t forget beauty. Although persons of physical beauty seldom are the leaders in the world today, yet is not the power behind the throne of height and strength some J.G.R. beauty?

A MATCH AT TENNIS Joe was really feeling good. The feel of the power of the car under liim made his heart beat a little faster just as the sight of a certain new girl had caused a surge of warmth to go through him. What a girl! She was really nice. He hadn’t been introduced to her; that he hoped would come tomorrow. There were just four days of vacation left. If only she had come to the lake sooner. He surely hoped that no one would beat him to asking her for a date for Sat urday night. He lay awake that night thinking of how to approach her with out seeming forward. Maybe she liked tennis; tennis was Joe’s favorite sport. The next day, the weather was just as miserable as Joe felt. It rained almost all day. Time was precious, but he wanted to make their meeting look casual. He could probably have driven down to her place, but that just wasn’t in him. So, tomorrow just had to be a good day. Joe was up with the sun and the day had every sign of being a perfect day; if only he could meet his “dream girl”. The cottage Joe’s folks had built the last summer was just about two miles from the main recreation center. Joe took his time driving down the narrow winding road. Mr. Brown was already at the courts waiting for Joe. Although he was already middle aged, he usually gave Joe a pretty rough time. After an exchange of friendly greetings, the game got under way. The set was five-three in Joe’s favor when a young couple approched the court. “Joe,” said Mr. Brown, “I want you to meet Mr. and Mrs. Walters.” The color drained from Joe’s face as he offered them a limp handshake. Here was his “dream girl or rather his “dream wife”. Joe and Mr. Brown continued their tennis match as Mr. and Mrs. Walters looked on. Joe just couldn’t keep his mind on the game. After all, he had spent almost two days thinking about her and here she turned out to be married. The match was soon 125

RED over; Joe of course lost. He was trying to think of some good excuse to hurry home when it happened. There she really was! Joe couldn't believe his eyes. He stared in amazement as Mrs. Walters said, ‘‘Joe， I want you to meet my twin sister.” That night Joe really felt good : his dream girl wasn’t married, M.F.T. and he had a date for Saturday night.

，TWON，T BE LONG NOW — LATEST REPORT ON BUILDING PROGRAM This article comes first of all as an answer to a desperate, lastminute appeal by the Editor-in-Chief (who thought he was gonna be left high and dry) for an article from one of his assistant editors, an assistant editor who is always in need of assistance but is seldom assisted. one who would gladly assist but whose malady of never knowing what to write about often renders him incapable of lending assistance, and finally, one who, when on occasion he has assisted, is uncertain whether the assistance with which he assisted was appre ciated by our beloved editor as it should liave been. The second reason for this article is that we are conscience bound to keep a promise made in last April’s Black and Reel, Volume UV, NumljcT i, and the present staff’s initial literary effort. We quote the last sentence of an article by Martin Westerhaus entitled, "Building Program": “As the work advances we will give you furth er information in succeeding issues about the “Black and Red”. In attempting faithfully to carry out this editorial policy, Herbert Jaster has given us a description of the past summer’s activities with his article in the September issue, entitled,4*Summer Activities at Nortliwestern”. This then is to be the third chapter, so to speak, in our descriptive serial. Those of you who are almost daily first-hand observers of what is going on need read no farther, since no verbal description can come up to an on-the-spot observation, and besides, you probably know a lot more about it than wc do. It is primarily to two groups of people then, that this article is addressed. First and foremost, to those who are fortunate enough to have graduated from this institution, but unfortunate enough not to have been able to re visit it lately, and secondly, to those members of the student body who are either too lazy, too uninterested or too burdened down with curricular and especially extra curricular activities to be able to take the time to see 'vfiat’s going on. To get an idea of how work has progressed let’s start by going through the new administration building. Martin Westerhaus and I are the interested observers on this crisp, sunshiny autumn afternoon, I being interested in a very special way (the deadline is but ten hours hence), ^fart, however, and fortunately for me, is the one who is 126

RED “in the know”. As we approach the handsome new building from the refectory, we see two men working on the forms for the steps leading up to the entrance which is directly opposite Prof. Sievert’s house, or the west entrance. We also note that the landscape work around the building, done to a great extent by a bulldozer, has been practically completed. Our plans to enter by the front or main en trance are foiled by a good-sized lock on the temporary door. The front of the building, oddly enough, is the side which faces the notorious “pest house” and tlie athletic field. We go around the building Oil the new sidewalk and gain admittance by the entrance just op posite the well-known water tower, and what formerly was the old cemetery. The distinct odor of fresh paint enters our nostrils as we step into the first room to the left, this being part of what will be Prof. Scliroeder’s comparatively roomy domain, the book store. In the far corner we find a so-called “dumb-waiter”，to facilitate the moving of books from the book store and library to the stacks in the base ment. This small elevator also goes up to second floor. The next very large room on our side of the hall is the library, which is recog nized by the large recesses in all but the outside wall, into which bookshelves are to be built. Here the painters arc busy applying a “natural-finish” to the large amount of woodwork. The walls, as in all the rooms, arc painted in light pastel colors. The library, as it happens, is light green. At the far side of the room a worker is busy at the tremendous job of cleaning the hundreds of window panes in the building. The only other room on this side of the hall is a small one, one whose now fresh atmosphere is destined to reek with stale cigar smoke, the conference room in which the board meets. We walk across the hall on the beautiful terrazzo floor and enter the blue room, also known as the faculty room. From there we walk into a room, the like of which this institution has never seen before. the president's office. Then conies the bursar’s office and two class rooms. Each room is equipped with one or more automatic ventilat ing units manufactured by the Trane Co. of La Crosse. The building also contains two wash rooms. The basement is next. To the left directly below the book store, is a good-sized librarian’s work room. Farther down the hall is a large stack room. Adjoining this is the coed room, but you won’t like it girls; it just doesn’t have the dandy view. Across the corri dor wel find a store room, the town boy’s room, and a rehearsal room, to be used for rehearsals of the various choruses and also a projec tion room. From here we go up to the second floor. The first classroom lo the left is filled witli new equipment for the chemistry and physics laboratory. Each classroom has three rows of fluorescent light fixtures, each row controlled by a separate switch. Perforated celotex is used on the ceilings, creating excellent acoustic qualities. Both 127

RED classrooms on this side of the hall are painted light green. Across the hall the “Eickmann Suite” is to be found. The science depart ment will at last have the room and facilities which it has needed so sorely for so many years. First comes the chemistry laboratory, with the many pipes and receptacles projecting from the floor. The desks and sinks are yet to be installed. Between the chemistry lab and the science classroom is a small supply room. The classroom has a ter raced seating arrangement permitting all students to observe experi ments more easily. A small darkroom and supply room are found between the classroom and the physics laboratory. The entire “suite” is painted a pastel shade of peach. The window sills in all the rooms are made of polished marble. As 'vc leave the building we see a stone marked A.D. 1950 on the right side of the front entrance, and the theme of our synod’s centennial flashes into our mind: “One Hundred Years of Grace”. A stainless steel cross is yet to be placed on the tower directly above the front entrance-. Leaving the Administration Building, we take the short walk to the beating plant. Here we see the two giant oil burners in action. Judging by the way the heat is coining out of our radiators in the dormitory, the system is most efficient. Here we also see the large hot water tank, which assures us of a supply of hot water at all times . . . well, almost always. From here we enter the gymnasium. Our hard working janitors. together with the occasional help of a few students, have finished laying a completely new floor. It has been varnished and painted with the proper lines for basketball. The new ventilating system is operating efficiently, drawing in filtered air from the outside ami forcing the stuffy air out. The stage lias also been completed and is now being used for band,试lee club, and octet practices. A few concerts have already been given from it. The stage lighting is very adequate. Overhead are two rows of red, white and blue lights, con taining 58 bulbs per row. To supplement these is an impressive bat tery of footlights. Beneath the stage the chairs, of which a goodly number are new ,are stored on carts which run on small tracks. The stage has no curtain as yet. We leave the gym by means of the new tunnel. This convemence can only be fully appreciated if one is forced to run from the gym to the dorm after a hot shower on a cold winter clay. Its com pletion has rendered the catching of a cold considerably more diffi cult. And so vve see the work everywhere drawing to completion. Present plans call for moving into the new building during the Christmas holidays. The Lord has richly blessed our school. Let us not forget to thank Him for it. 、128

Why Strife? •• • HERE is a group of students at Northwestern who try their very best (or worst) to keep the College and Watertown Higli School at odds with each other. By their actions and by their atti tudes both here and downtown, they dare anyone to cross their paths, for they are College students! A few weeks ago, the strained feeling between the two schools broke out into open warfare. The battle is dormant now or at least having a little breather. The real causes of the outbreak are rather difficult to determine, but the reasons for its continuance are quite obvious. This group of College students, which contains a few members who are old enough to vote, acted just like little children by baiting the guilty or suspected high school students and by defacing a_ civic 二•— park and public property. Instead of being reprimanded by their schoolmates, they were hailed as heroes. 129

RED There is always rivalry between schools that are in the same city or in neighboring cities, but the rivalry is usually friendly, although intense. Why can’t we have just a friendly rivalry here in Watertown ? A small minority in both camps dictates the policy for both schools now, but why should we follow the lead of fellows who mean no good and are only trying to raise trouble and bring disgrace and ill-favor on our school? If we would only realize that one party has to show signs of wanting peace before it can be gained, we would make a great step forward. It is about time that we realize we are all in the same boat and must act together to erase this black mark against our school. D.H.

Preps vs. Collegiates ... wM||i«T LEAST there are some in the student body who read the Black and Red and are sufficiently impressed to say some thing in print about it. The suggestion offered by Mr. Buss (Sept. B & R) — to unite the Prep and Collegiate papers — as a possible solution to the problem of bettering the Black and Red seemed to impress no one among the Collegiates; or perhaps, the majority did not take the trouble to read it. This involved the Collegiates as well as the Preps. Why is it that only the Preps offered comment ? True, they felt that under the suggested plan they would lose some of the freedom which they now possess, but there presumably could be much stronger Collegiate objections. Come on, rouse yourselves out of that lethargy and take notice of what is going on about you. Questions arise every day that should receive the attention of every one of us. Why let “the few” who take the trouble to open their mouths run everything. However, let credit be given where credit is due. The comments offered by the Preps in the Schrdlu were straightforward and nicely put. There is and always will be rivalry between the Preps and Col legiates. A friendly rivalry is proper and in order. But it should not interfere with order in the dormitory. Collegiates should not be over bearing with the Preps, nor should the Preps fail to show proper re spect to Collegiates. Furthermore, there should be an interest dis played on the part of both groups in the welfare of the school. Both groups should take part in the school activities offered. Your school paper is your voice: Make use of it. R. F. 130

ALUMNI

Engagements:

The engagement of the Rev. Leonard G. Berntlial，’44, of Clarkston, Washington, to Miss Bianca Tornow of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, was announced recently. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Kreuter of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, have an nounced the engagement of their daughter, Carla Joan, to Howard Kaiser. Mr. Kaiser, ’49, is a student of the Seminary. The engagement of Norval Kock to Miss Dorothy Bauer has been announced. Mr. Kock, ’48, is presently a student of the Sem inary, Miss Bauer is a parochial school teacher in Hortonville, Wisconsin. New Arrivals: On October 16，1950, the Rev. and Mrs. Alfred Walther of Livingston, Montana, were blessed with the gift of a healthy baby girl, Elisabeth Ann. The Rev. Walther is a member of the class of 42.

Professor and Mrs. Richard Jungkuntz on October 27，1950, became the proud parents of an eight pound baby girl, Lisa Mar garet. Professor Jungkuntz, a member of our faculty, was graduated with the class of ’39. Miscellaneous: The Rev. Gerhard Struck, ,30, formerly of Wrightstown, Wis consin, accepted a call to Dowagiac, Michigan, and was installed there November 12, 1950. The Rev. Edgar Greve, ’46, who taught the past few months at Alabama Lutheran Academy, Salem, Alabama, will leave for Ni geria, Africa, sometime in December. Jerome Albrecht, ’46, a 1950 graduate of the Seminary, is spend ing this school year at Dr. Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Min nesota. On November 7, 1950, the Rev. Edwin Bruns,，12，was killed car accident near Sparta, Wisconsin. The Rev. Bruns, whose last charge was Mt. Olive Lutheran Congregation of Delano, Minne sota, for the past few years resided in Appleton, Wisconsin. Word has been received that John Timmel, ex ’49, lias enrolled as a member of the June 1951 class of the American Institute for Foreign Trade at Thunderbird Field, Phoenix, Arizona. Mr. Timmel is preparing for a career in American business or government abroad. 131

I-Iarkey, in’ laddies, I’m here agin. Hope y’re not too badly angry at m% after y’ve read the last bit of campus corn, ’cuz dis here’ll make y’ really----- . Well, judge for y'rself. When y've done some thing bad 'n don’t want it t’ get around, tell 111’ an’ y’ can b’ sure I won't tell a soul. (But I might write about it.) 氺

Football’s over, Fairs about done; And in we stay To liave our fun. In cards and ping-pong, In bull sessions too, “I11 German and Latin, Greek and Hebrew.” So with this “fun” And “spirits” high We can sit and watch Winter* pass by. * (Ed. note: not Richy Winter either!) Well, after the disastrous results of last year’s buttoning which was discontinued upon the discretion of that year’s Frosh class, it was again instituted to the Frosh of this year. They took it on the chin and on the button. Many and varied were the punishments offi cially meted out upon them by the “stern” Sophomores. Mayo(r) 132

RED Mcllecke ‘,assumed” the fitting role of a young mother and displayed his natural motherhood instinct as he gently “wheeled” a fair-sized perambulator along the walk. Then there was the notorious Brandle who infamously persisted in committing infractions of the set rules of the proper buttoning procedure as established by the superior Sophomores. His sentences were all sort of damp in nature. One day he was exhibiting his shapely gams under a comforting bath robe. Then he was on plunger duty assisting the coeds in making an entrance into the ad building. Still later the Sophs deemed it fitting that he should take a bath — in the hands of the Sophs. However, sorry to say, his chances of gaining further popularity in the Soph’s hands are now gone. To decide the continuance of official buttoning, the two said classes engaged in a grandiose tug-o-war, properly supervised by Judge R. Voss and student body et al. The overpower ing Frosh pulled the Soph bunch off their feet thus displaying their newly assumed powers. You know, fellas, we on the staff aren’t a bunch of super intelli gent “brains”, nor are we literary geniuses; we’re human. In fact, we are like the rest of you, so that means our written stuff will be of a caliber like unto that which you yourself would write, if you were standing in our shoes. We hear all kinds of beefs, but we can take it. It doesn’t hurt us. It’s like the food in the army. As long as the men complain about it, it’s okay. But as soon as the soldiers stop their beefing, the soup’s no good. So that’s how it is here. Still that doesn’t warrant tossing old faithful B and R in the trash box the day it comes out. For such was the case when the B and R’s were handed out last time. It’s your money and your school paper you’re throwing away. How about it? A little more appreciation, displayed also by the contribution of more articles from the whole student body, will make the B and R a much finer publication. Chworowsky and Seeger Are a terrific pair. Whatever they do Raises the hair. Dining hall and dorm Night and day They do many things That ain’t all hay. But they’re swell fellows Just feeling their oats. Yep, the/re swell kids. But who likes goats ? 133

RED Yep, Homecoming came with a bang and indeed with a much louder and more joyful bang after the big game with the Saints. A complete success, a true victory in every sense of the word. The opening “festivities” presented on Thursday eve were “enlightening” and mighty well done to get everyone in the “mood”. M.C. Bein handled the whole situation at the mike very capably as did his associates. Dr. Seeger, M.A., B.A., M.S., B.S., PH.D., M.E., I.O.U., E.T.C., N.W.C., AND blood ’n guts Chworowsky and Att’y Musbacli. As usual Coach Umnus vied with the loudspeaker system in sounding forth, but Coach R. Voss confessed apologetically that he had not been around long enough to be able to speak like Coach Umnus. The other faculty member who spoke, Prof. Jungkuntz, gave a very enlightening and wholesome message for all. The burn ing of tlie “Pile” concluded the celebration for that evening. The next day the fun began. A whopper of a victory over the Saints by the wings of the Goslings and a well-planned banquet (I’m still won dering about that Cognate Accusative) gave real zest to our Homecoming. Of course, the thought of no classes for Saturday undoubt edly, most assuredly, was a very deciding factor in putting the stud ents in the right spirit. Then the Preps on Saturday climaxed and put a nifty end to homecoming by sitting on M.U.S. Thus Home coming for 1950 came and went. Pretty fine work I’(l say! * The Limburg (er) Case: In connection with the present high divorce rate this bit of “pun” was heard in a classroom. “You know, students, these divorce cases are reallv some cases, — cases of limburger cheese. And do they ever stink and smell!” 一 So you see even the profs at times can pull a funny one. (Ugli!) Many have asked me why I don’t: mention their, name, For (and they don’t lie) It’s really a great shame. So here go a paltry few: Richy Winter and Jerry Free Then take Album Kienitz too And there you have a mighty three. So when your name Doesn’t appear, That doesn’t mean I hate ye. ’Cause your great fame Hasn’t reached my ear. ’N when it does, you’ll hate me. 氺

RED Sweet Hallowe’en made a very impressive appearance at N.W.C. Wow! — Zing! Crash! Boom! All! — Atomic bomb? Nah! Just the “innocents” having a little horse-play. The only trouble is they forgot the horse for the wagon on ist floor. The campus lovers’ bench was naturally “transported” up to 3rd floor, the abode of the Lovers Inc. (Now don’t get angry, Kock!)

By the time this is published I suppose snow and cold weather will be the thing. Then it’ll be right nice to think back to the wonder ful Indian Summer w« had this Fall. Pleasant warm temperatures up lo 80 degrees are quite a bit different from the stinging and frightfully cold weather we will be having. You know, weather is a swell topic to talk about, whether you talk about the weather, or whether the weather causes you to talk about the weather. Like sometimes, leather is left out exposed to the weather to weather and become good leather. Whether it’s a case of the leather weathering itself with the help of the weather, or the weather weathering the leather, that’s for you to decide when you talk about the weather. * * Charmin’ Charley Says: “It’s an ill will that thinketh no good!’’ And so I leave you to ascend your comfortable throne of relaxation and ponder the mightly words of the immortal Shakesbeer, ‘‘Drink or die, die or drink, that should cause you to think!”

Goslings Suffer First Defeat MISSION 20 NWC 14 It was a Muskie team, keyed to the breaking point on its home coming that lianded Northwestern its first loss of the ’50 season. It was one of those games that might have gone either way and it was finally the breaks that decided the outcome. The Missionmen got their first break when a Gerber punt, bouncing crazily, hit a North western defender deep in Gosling territory and was recovered by the Muskies. This set up their first touchdown, which finally came on a Gerber to Pluim aerial. Northwestern, however, not realizing that this gift T.D. might prove to be the big one bounced back with two touchdowns of their own in the second quarter. The first came after an exchange of punts, on a pass from Winter to Habeck, covering 42 yards in all. When Westerhaus added the point it was seven all. Once more before the half the Goslings battered their way into scor ing position, with Don Bitter skirting right end for the final seven yards. Westerhaus again converted making it 14-7 at the half. It was an incensed Muskie eleven that came back after the half. With both offensive and defensive platoons playing heads-up football they managed to push across two goals while holding the invading Goslings to none. The Kreglemen scored once in the third and again in the fourth period, with Storm taking over the first and Pluim getting the final counter. The Goslings drove deep into Muskie territory several times in the second half, once clown to the 19 where A1 Bitter tossed a pass to Manthey on the one, only to have the officials rule it incomplete when one official maintained Manthey had caught the ball out of bounds and another said that he had picked it off the ground. Whatever it was it set the Goslings back on the 19 where they failed to make the necessary yardage on the next play and lost the ball. With only a few minutes left in the game Northwestern once more began to roll when A1 Bitter began to uncork some passes. However, this rally was also cut short when the ever-present Mr. Pluim intercepted on his own 25. So as the final horn sounded it was 20-14 in favor of Mission House, who incidentally had not been scored upon before this game. 138

St. Pro 7 Goslings Take Homecoming Tilt NWC 40 The Black and Red came back with a bang after suffering their first setback of the season and had little or no trouble at all in dis posing of their homecoming foe. St. Procopius, the team that had played the Mighty Mission Huskies to a standstill for three quarters and finally succumbed 6-0, was no match for the homecoming-minded Goslings. Scoring almost at will and with everyone but the manager seeing action, the Umnusmen piled up 40 points while allowing their opponents a single touchdown and that only after Coach Umnus had cleared the bench. The first time the Goslings got their hands on the ball they marched 70 yards only to have a fumble halt the drive. After forcing the Saints to punt they went right back, this time going all thee way. Phil Kuckhahn pounded it over for the first score. Midway in the second period Manthey slammed another goal home and when Westerhaus added his second extra point it was 14-0. In the second half the Varsity really began to roll, pitching and running for four more touchdowns. The first of those was set up when Bit ter's punt rolled dead on the one yard stripe and the Procopius re139

RED turn punt was partially blocked. It took the Varsity only four plays to go over from the 29, with Manthey going the last eight yards for his second T.D. of the day. Winter’s interception gave Northwestern position once more in the third period. An A1 Bitter to Habeck pass, covering 30 yards, took the skin to the 10. Bitter punched it to the three from where Free bulled his way over. The conversion made it 27-0 at the three-quarter mark. Early in the third period Hank Schrocder, hard charging Gosling tackle, blocked a Saint punt on the 40 and after a fifteen yard penalty the Black and Red was in position once more. Krueger, now engineering the Varsity offense, lofted a beautiful aerial to Habeck in the end zone. Krueger took over the final Gosling counter after a pass from A1 Bitter to Habeck plus a penalty brought the ball down to the three. Only after the home team was leading 40-0 did it allow the enemy to cross its goal. Fazekas, fiery Procopius back, ran it over and Scanlon added the extra point. The game ended without any further scoring giving the Goslings a 40-7 homecoming victory. To single out any hero in this homecoming tilt would be an injustice to the rest of the team. Every one, from the first stringers to the waterboy, played this one to the hilt, allowing the home team to pile up an amazing 529 yards gained.

RED NWC 24 Goslings Trip Aurora For Fifth Win Aurora 14 Although the Goslings were down following their homecoming game the week before, they had little trouble disposing of their sixth conference foe to the tunc of 24-14. The closeness of the score is not at all indicative of the ease with which Northwestern won. Costly penalties when deep in enemy territory cost the Varsity one touch足 down and several scoring opportunities. There was no score in the first quarter when the Goslings ran into a stiff headwind plus a 4-4-3 defense, whicli they had not seen all year. However, the alert linemen soon solved the difficulties and early in the second period Don Ritter went around right end from the five for the score. A1 Bitter engineered the next Gosling touchdown when he intercepted a Spar足 tan aerial on the 45, ran it back to the 35, and than fired a pass to Manthey on the 18. Manthey hauled in the pass and with the help of a two man block by Jerry Free went the rest of the way to the goal. John Chworowslq. gave the Goslings possession once more be足 fore the half when lie smashed through the Spartan forward wall and stoic tlie ball from the Aurora ball carrier. However, the time ran out before tl\e lilack and Red could push another counter across. Northwestern scored again early in the fourth quarter. On an Au足 rora fourth clown Bob Buss smashed his way through the opponent line from his end post and batted down the attempted punt. The ball finally rolled dead on the* seven from where Manthey had little trouble in smashing over. Aurora scored the first of its two touchdowns midway through the final period on a sustained drive which carried about 60 yards. Wood carried over the T.D. and the extra point. Northwestern took the succeeding kickoff and marched 95 yards for their final score. The drive was culminated when A1 Bitter pitched a perfect strike to Manthey for the touchdown. Wood, Spartan fullback, took the following kickoff on his own 20 and ran all the way for a consolation T.D. When the point was good the score stood at 24-14. Time ran out before the Varsity could get another drive rolling and the game ended with that score. :s

NWC 44 Goslings Whip Sailors In Final Tilt Great Lakes 7 Not knowing what to expect from the Great Lakes Naval Hos pital Unit the Varsity went all out for this final game of the season. Taking the opening kickoff the Goslings were not to be stopped until they had hit pay-dirt. Don Bitter gobbled up the final seven yards on a run around end. Free scored the second Northwestern touch down early in the second quarter when he romped around end for eleven yards. A Bitter to Habeck pass brought home the bacon again for the Black and Red midway in the second1 period. Westerhaus’ extra point made it 19-0. Winter set up the final first-half Gosling score with a pass interception on the 40. A1 Bitter passed to Free for the final 12 yards making it 25-0. While the Goslings were scoring freely the forward wall of Voss, Otterstatter, Buss, Schroeder, Chworowski, and Westerhaus was not to be budged and the Sailors failed to cross the fifty in the first half. On the first play from scrim mage in the second half Paul Manthey, flashy Gosling back, blasted over left tackle on a quick-opener, outstepped the secondary, ancl went 58 yards for the score. Northwestern kicked off to the Middies and again held them for downs. After the punt the Black and Red began to roll once more. A series of runs and passes brought the ball to the 10 from where A1 Bitter, this time on the receiving end of a pass, took a flip from Winter and went over with the touchdown that put the Goslings over the 200 mark for the season. Thus the third quarter ended without the Sailors having set foot on the Gos ling side of the fifty. In the fourth quarter, however, with Heppler, Great Lakes’ halfback, reeling off a 50 yard gain the visitors not only crossed the fifty but the goal line. Van Duzer took it over from the two and Baker added the point. Northwestern scored its final touch down on a thirty yard dash over center by Don Bitter. When A1 Bitter tossed to Free for the point it was 44-7 in favor of the Gos lings. 143

The Great Lakes game marked the end of the football season for the squad and the end of their football career for eight seniors. The Varsity had a good year and their 6-1 record is one to be proud of. It was compiled by a team that went all out for every game and in the end had the amazing total of 212 points to show for its efforts. This Varsity TEAM was just that, A TEAM, not eleven individuals but eleven players that formed one unit with an indomitable will to win. The front line never stopped blocking and the backs never stopped running as the 2368 total yards gained show. As an offen sive machine the ’50 version of the Goslings is unequalled in North western football history. Only eight men will be lost through gradu ation and four of these were starters, leaving Coach Umnus with seven first stringers around which to build next years team, which according to all indications should be a good one. The graduating seniors are Schroeder, Otterstatter, Bitter, "Westerhaus, Krueger, Voss, Biebert, and Unke. 144

••THE LANDLORD QF CHICAGO” COUf of Ulinoif Stoic Hirtoricol -4^

From a penniless Prussian bootblack to WHO'S WHO in AMERICA is the amazing story of Francis HofTman. In his rise to fame, Hoffman’s footsteps left their impression in the fields of religion, politics and finance. His career as a church man was climaxed by his aid in founding the Missouri Synod. His violent hatred of slavery and his steadfast loyally to his friend Abraham Lincoln inspired the founding of the Republi can Party. Hoffman wept openly at his inauguration as Lieu tenant Governor of Illinois — a post he had not even cam paigned for. As the financial wizard of the mid-west, he did much to make Chicago the wealthy city it is today. He died in peaceful retirementin the littlecity of Jefferson, Wisconsin in 1903. Few of us have been endowed with the financial genius of Francis Hoffman . but security and savings has been made easier through the world’s safest investment — insurance.

In commemoration of the work done and the services rendered by Professor Fleischer in the past fifty years of service in the minis try, we dedicate this issue of the Black and Red to him. May the Lord continue to bless him in his chosen work and grant him yet more years of useful service in the church. **Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:,, Psalm 】。3:1, 2

GEGRAPTAI On the evening of November 17, 1950, the students, faculty, and board of Northwestern College, pastors of the Central Confer ence ,relatives, and former parishioners gathered with Prof. Her mann Fleischer in tlie college gymnasium to thank God for having granted Prof. Fleischer the privilege of having served fifty years in the vineyard of the Lord. The evening was begun with a divine service. The Rev. G. Pieper of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, preached the sermon, and the N.W.C. )r?4e Chorus beautified the service with two chorals. After the service representatives of various 尺roups congratulated Prof. Fleischer and presented him with gifts. Prof. Gehrke gave the main talk of this part of the program, speaking on the things he saw and experienced on his trip to Europe. Prof Fleischer then addressed the assembly briefly, voicing his sentiments in the words, “Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me bless his holy name.” The evening closed with a light lunch, served by the wives of the faculty. In 1897 Prof. Fleischer was graduated from N.W.C. In 1900 he was graduated from the Seminary and entered the ministry. For twenty-five years Prof. Fleischer served as a pastor, ending that part of his service in Lnke Geneva, Wisconsin. For the past twenty-five years lie has served as professor here at N.W.C. Rev. Nitz set what he believed expressed the motto of these fiftv vears of labor in the Lord’s vineyard in the word, “GEGRAP丁AI” This word struck me as being not only a very appropriate 148

㈤: RED motto but also a very appropriate and noble seal of these fifty years of service. Prof. Fleischer once told us in one of his classes how lie had prepared the inscription on the painting of Luther, which hangs in the Tower Room of the Seminary, so tlial one could rub and rub on that Inscription and the words would become brighter and more shiningly visible. He had prepared it so that the inscription could not be erased. This word for Prof. Fleischer was a summary of our Lutheran faith. It was the sword with which Christ warded off the tempta tions of the devil and with which Luther met the “devil-filled” world. Through his ministry as pastor and teacher these past fifty years it was Prof. Fleischer’s aim to arm his parishioners and students with this same mighty weapon and to teach them how and why to use it. With these thoughts in mind this word forms a very appropriate summarv and noble seal on these fifty faithful years of service — “gegrXptai.” K. W. B.

CHRIST WAS BORN

丨，•

•-

Christ was born in a stable low To save all men on earth below. And in that selfsame holy hour l"pon His children God did shower His holy gift of salvation pure, That we should live and die no more. Unto men our Lord doth call, “Come unto Me, ye Christians all, For free from the power of sin are ye, And so shall ye live eternally. All fleshly lusts and sins deny, For with Me ye shall never die.” Our voices in thanks to Thee we raise And give to Thee, O Lord, our praise. In true repentance we do pray, O Lord, be with us on this day, Protect and guard us in that hour When we are tempted by Satan’s power. O praise the Lord, ye men on earth, In happiness and joyous mirth. O ?hout His glorious name abroad; Proclaim to all His mighty Word, How in manger in Bethlehem Christ was born to save all men. C. Spaude 149

RED ''AND ON EARTH PEACE.

“And on earth peace.” How often don’t we again during this Christmas season hear these well-known words over our radios or read them in our newspapers ? But lio'v false, lio'v completely mean ingless they must sound to us today if we are to understand by them that which the world can only understand by them, namely an earth ly peace, a peace between nations. Wliat more than hollow mockery can they be to the soldiers whose blood is staining the frozen battle fields of Korea? Mow much more fitting and truthful, especially in these days, arc not the words of the prophet Jeremiah when lie speaks of men crying, “Peace, peace, when there is no peace.” But thanks be to God, the peace which the heavenly host pro claimed to the shepherds on Bethlehem's fields that holy night has for us a lar more glorious meaning. This is the peace given to us by the coming of tlic Prince of Peace, the peace which turned away tlie wratli of God from us lost sinners and restored us to the proper relation to Him. It is this peace which has put an end to the tyranny of the devil, and which alone can be the source of true Christmas joy in our hearts. This is the peace of God, bestowed on us as an unmerited gift, which privileges us to exult with Martin Luther: “Oil, then rejoice that through His Son God is with sinners now at one; Made like yourselves of flesh and blood, Your brother is th* eternal God.” J.

PROF. GEHRKE VISITS EUROPE Among the large number of American tourists in Europe this summer was our own Prof. Ralph Gehrke. Members of the B&R staff decided that a brief description of his travels would be of considerable interest to most of the readers of the B&R. Accord ingly they sent the writer of this article to get the necessary infor mation from Prof. Gehrke. He was very obliging and offered a large amount of material for our use in preparing this article. On June 24 Prof. Gehrke, together with the other teachers and scholars in the party, left New York by plane bound for London. The flight to London took 38 hours, a storm over the Atlantic forcing them to go south to the Azores and thence to London instead of taking the shorter northern route over Newfoundland. From London they went to Salisbury, then to Winchester and on through the beautiful countryside of southern England with its picturesque cottages and small villages to Canterbury, The center of interest here of course was the cathedral which is the seat of the head of 150

RED the Church of England. A choir and orchestra were rehearsing Bach's Mass in B Minor. Hearing this great work while walking through the great Gothic cathedral was a very impressive experience. While inspecting the crypt under the altar Prof. Gehrke and his fellow tourists suddenly found that they together with four Englishmen had been locked in by a not too careful warden, who was overanxious to close the cathedral. No amount of pounding on the doors and calling to passers-by outside availed. The rehearsal going on in the cathedral drowned out their calls for help. Finally one of the Englishmen found a narrow circular stairway inside one of the walls leading up to a side-chapel. Thus they escaped spending the night in the (lark and cold crypt. North England and Scotland were next on his tour. Camliridge was the first stop. On the train he had struck up an ac quaintance with a young Burmese student who now showed him about the various colleges and gave him a description of the life there. After brief stops at York and Durham he continued past Newcastle on the Tyne to the hills of Scotland and finally to Edin burgh. He was much impressed with Edinburgh and with the people of Scotland in general. After five days spent in visiting the chief points of interest in Scotland Prof. Gehrke returned to London and from there flew to the Netherlands. The six days that he spent in the Netherlands and Belgium showed him that the cities there were much more clean and modern than the English cities. The next three weeks were spent in Germany. The most striking sight in Germany of course was the tremendous destruction wrought there by our bombing. With frequent stops Prof. Gehrke slowly traveled up the Rhine valley. He visited Cologne, Heidelberg, Frankfurt, and then the Hochschule at Oberursel, where lie remained two days. Then he visited the Coburg, which was Luther's home for six months in 1530. Since it was impossible to visit Wit- • tenberg or the VVartburg since they are in the Russian zone this was somewhat of a Luther pilgrimage for Prof. Gehrke. The Co burg is an old fortress of the Middle Ages which lies at the top of a steep hill surrounded by forest. From its rampart one can look over into Russian held Saxony. Of special interest were the Her zog's house, now a museum with many exhibits from medieval and Reformation days, the chapel in which Luther preached, and the Lutherstube, whicli was Luther’s home while the Diet off Augsburg was in session. Here Luther advised his friends at Augsburg and worked on a commentary on some of the Psalms. The desk at which he worked is still to be seen there. The next stop on the tour was Bamberg with its beautiful cathedral which is one of the oldest in Germany. Most of the city was destroyed by bombs but the cathedral somehow remained untouched. After a visit with a pastor of the Lutheran Free Church at Muehlliausen and trips to the Univer151

RED sity of Erlangen and the large mission house and charitable institu tions at Neuendettelsau Prof. Gelirke left Germany and entered Austria. Oberammcrgau, with its world famous passion play, was the first stop. Next came Salzburg. Here the renowned Music Festival was in progress. Prof. Gelirke attended performances of Mozart’s “Die Zauberfloete’，and, on the night of the two hundredth anniverssary of Bach's death, that great master’s “Kunst der Fuge”. He was also present at a performance of the medieval play “Everyman”. Heading south from Salzburg, Prof. Gelirke now entered sunny Italy. His journey took him over the majestic Alps and out onto the fertile plain of the Po. The first major attraction in Italy was the city of Venice on the shores of the Adriatic, where he stayed four days. A boat carried the tourists from the bus station to their hotel on the Lido, a long narrow peninsula which protects the islands of Venice from the sea. The trip to the hotel took them through the Grand Canal, past the palaces of the Doges and the cathedral of St. Mark, where according to Catholic legend that evangelist is buried. One of the highlights of the stay in Venice was a swim in the warm waters of the Adriatic and sunbathing on the Lido beach. From Venice a full day’s journey took Prof. Gelirke and his com panions to Naples, where they visited Mt. Vesuvius，the buried cities of Pompeii ancl Herculaneum, and the island of Capri, which two tliousand years ago was the summer resort of the Roman Emperors. Then followed one of the high spots of the entire trip, the visit to Rome. Tlie first of the four days spent in Rome was taken up by a tour of the city as a whole. The second day was begun by going to the Vatican museum, the treasure house of all the art collected by the popes over the centuries. Most pleasing to Prof. Gehrke were the paintings of Raphael and the murals of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel. St. Peter’s, the largest church in Christendom, was entered next. Its proportions are so harmonious that its im mense size is not immediately noticeable. Here pilgrims were seen praying before an opening which leads down into the catacombs where St. Peter’s bones reputedly lie. On all sides are altars and statues of saints and popes. In general, in Prof. Gehrke’s opinion, the decorating was over done, detracting from the beautiful and grand proportioning. On the afternoon of the second day Prof. Gehrke saw the pope at a papal audience for the pilgrims. A special section was reserved for the Americans. As the pope, dressed all in white, was carried in on his chair to his place under the central dome he passed at a dis tance of pnly about eight yards from the spot where Prof. Gehrke and his. fellow tourists were sitting. He began to welcome various groups, Speaking first in Italian. Then he addressed a large group 152

RED

■I

of Germans in German. Then he gave the papal blessing. Now he stepped down to the floor and spoke with various groups and received gifts from them. As the various groups waited for the pope they sang hymns in their own languages, and, finally, at the end of the assembly, all joined in the Nicene Creed in Latin. Tliat evening Prof. Gehrke attended a performance of the opera “Carmen which was held in the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla. The following day he went to the National Museum of Ancient Roman Art. After lunch at a sidewalk cafe he walked about the ruins of old Rome, seeing such spots as the grave of Romulus; the senate bouse where Caesar was murdered; the platform from which Ci cero spoke; the triumphal arches; and the quarters of the Vestal Virgins. The last day was begun with a climb to the top of Si. Peter’s dome. First one reaches the roof which affords an cxcellent view of the square with its fountain and the throngs of people . Then from quite a bit higher up one gets a breath-taking view from the inside of the dome down upon the congregation be fore the altar in the chancel, and a glimpse of the colorful mosaics of Christ, Mary, Paul, and the Twelve inside the dome. Finally the top was reached. From here one could look down on the Vatiern City on one side, and on the other, on the entire panorama of Rome with the plain of Campagiia, in which Rome lies on its seven hills, stretching from the distant Apennines to the sea. After climb ing down from the dome of St. Peter’s cathedral Prof. Gehrke visited an exposition of Christian Art from Catholic mission fields all over the world. Finally he visited several old churches. One of these, built about 1108 A.D. stands on the foundation of a still older church, built about 300 A.D., which in turn was set upon the bouse of Clem ent, bishop of Rome from 91 to 100 A.D. Under this are found the foundations of a house said to have been built before 100 B.C. After short stops at Florence and Pisa Prof. Gehrke left Italy, going along the Riviera to Nice, France, and from there to Paris. He found Paris to be not quite so gay as lie had expected, but he enjoyed the many shops, the boulevards, and of course the Louvre, and Versailles. After short trips to Chartres to see the cathedral there with its magnificent windows and to the chateaux along the Loire river which date from the days of Charles V, Prof. Gehrke entered Switzerland. While in Switzerland he went up Mt. Pilatus and the Jungfrau, crossed by steamboat the Vierwaldstaetter See which Schiller made famous in his “Wilhelm Tell”，and enckd his stay with a visit to a gymnasium in Basel which was somewhat simi lar to our school. It now was time for Prof. Gehrke to return to America, and so he took a train back to Paris where he boarded the plane which was to carry him to New York, Again bad weather was encountered, this time forcing the plane to turn back and land in England to wait out the storm. Eventually, however, the plane 153

RED reached New York and Prof. Gelirke was on the last leg of his trip which took him back to Watertown and a new school year. w.

CHRISTMAS IN A LITTLE WHITE SCHOOLHOUSE Along with many other pleasant recollections of my boyhood, the memory of the old-fashioned Christmas programs held at our country school house recurs many times in my thoughts as each year's Christmas season draws near. Christmas programs of churches and also schools have been very much the same for many years and in our present day often seem to be taken for granted, even among children. Such was not the case in my grammar school days; at least it did not seem so then. The school program was an event looked forward to by the entire community, young and old alike. As most of the various families in the neigliborhood attended dif ferent churches, or no church at all, it was one of the few events of the vear that brought them all together. To us school children, the pleasant task of “practicing” and reciting our “pieces” in preparation for the program offered a welcome diversion from the school routine and, if the teacher was lenient enough to hold practice during normal study hours, it also lessened considerably the length of the study periods, a fact much well. unpreciatcd by all pupils and very likely by the teacher This period of practicing started perhaps two or three weeks before Christmas and continued until the clay of the program, when it was climaxed by a dress rehearsal, complete with make-up, masks and accessories. The first donning of masks and make-up never failed to produce a burst of hilarity among the pupils. There were always one or two skits or plays calling for black face, and the lucky ones chosen for such parts were the envy of all the rest, es pecially among the boys. The moth-eaten muslin curtains were taken from their dusty storage cupboard and strung on a wire across one end of the room. With the addition of various and sundry, and usually crude, stage props, the stage was set for the rehearsal. Two or three dry runs were usually necessary before the teacher was satisfied that we were proficient enough to perform before the critical audience of our parents and neighbors. I suppose the teacher was more concerned than we that we would all forget our lines when faced with the reality of a live audience instead of empty seats. The gay dress rehearsal being over, we would shove the desks together and supplement their seating capacity with planks and nail kegs. Everything in readiness for the program that evening, we then hurried home to eat supper and change to our “Sunday” clothes. 154

RED Not wanting to miss anything, most of ns boys would walk tht mile or two back to the schoolhouse instead of waiting to ride with our parents in the car. By eight o'clock the school house would be filled with the chatter of friendly voices, every inch of seating space was occupied and late comers stood in the corners. Herding all the students together behind the security of tin curtain the teacher managed to get the show underway. The curtains were drawn aside and we faced those rows of peering eyes; what a dreadful moment. How we wished we were the teachci behind the curtain with nothing to do but prompt us when we stumbled, which was often enough. But after the first breathless minutes we regained our composure and our faculties, such as they were, and made the most of the opportunity to show off our dubioutalents. Aside from the singing of a few Christmas carols, the pro gram was rarely of a religious n?ture, consisting mainly of skits and recitations, interspersed with instrumental numbers. After the program ended there was the usual exchange of gifts among the students, and of course, the inevitable bag of candy from beneath the tree. Then, after much happy chatter and after the floor had been thoroughly littered with paper and string and peanut shucks we were favored with a lunch and much later still departed for home in the old family car. I suppose that a rural school Christmas program would seem rather dull and meaningless to me now, but in the days of my boyhood it was a cardinal event, and despite its lack of true Christian spirit, it will always strike a sensitive chord in my heart as I look back upon it in retrospect.

NOEL The wick sagged weakly in the amber pool of kerosene until the man’s strong, gnarled hand trimmed it to the desired lenlgtli. Taki：»ng aa match from the big box over the stove, he touched it to the wick. which broke into fierce flame for an instant before it began its steady glow. This glow illuminated the kitchen in which the young man stood; it traced the shadow of an old wood stove against the linoleum floor, bright with exotic flowers; it etched the edges of the wooden table and chairs with a jaundiced light; it was thrown back by the frost covered window pane and retreated into the fa miliar surroundings of the warm kitchen. By this light the man cut potatoes into a pan on the stove, took a slab of salt pork and trimmed it for frying and then moved to ready the table while supper cooked. He put the flat of his hand on the pane and forced the all-con quering cold to move aside for a minute. Glancing through the aper ture he had made in the frost, he noticed that the lantern was in 155

RED the last stall of the sheep barn. He hurried then, for that meant that David would be in for supper soon. He stopped stirring the potatoes and looked across the room at the light coming from under the door of the little bedroom. When he was finished with the stirring and put the tin pot covers on he potatoes and pork to keep them warm, he walked to the closed door and knocked gently, saying, '*Supper's near ready, Mr. Burns. Will you be out?” The reply was quick. “No thanks, Paul. Not until the doctor’s finished his examination. The clumping of David’s heavy boots at the doorway reminded him of the supper and he set to dishing out the food. David came into the room red-cheeked. "Those two ewes Burns bought last fall are gone. They must have got lost out on the ridge by the hay pile this afternoon. We’ve got to get them after supper.” They sat down to their meal and ate. They talked quietly of many things but mostly of the people in that other room. They talked of Mr. Ralph Burns and his girl bride, Mollie, and of how he had married her and taken her away from her folks in the gently rolling hill country of southern Wisconsin and brought her out to the windy mountains of Montana and tried to make her happy. Oh, he loved her and she him; but their young love was struggling against nature herself and that was quite a battle. For Mollic was lonely and frightened. The windy valleys and uplands and stretches of flat prairie frightened her. Ralph was out with the shepherds and the sheep all the time, and so she was alone. She thought of the stories of women wearing tracks around their little cabins by walking around and around — simply to have some thing to do. That had happened in the Dakotas, but fear was fear and loneliness was loneliness. She wanted company, somebody to love and feel busy with. And now she was sick and the doctor had made his way out to the cabin to help her. Her sickness threw a blanket of gloom over the once liappy fireside in the little farmhouse. The shepherds finished their supper and were washing the dishes when the door opened and Ralph Burns emerged, looking bent and tired under the dim light. *The doc isn’t sure yet, but he has to make one more test.” He spooned the remainder of the potatoes on a plate and sat down to eat. “We’ve got to find those two new ewes, Ralph. We’ll try to be quick about it.” “O.K” boys,” he sighed. Paul and David stood on the ridge overlooking the cabin in the valley. The snow swirled around them in great gusts. They prodded the two ewes along before them. “Sure am glad that we found these two €\ves”, said Paul. “I just hope that everything’s all right down below,” replied David. A light appeared in the bedroom window as if in answer. The frost on the window bent the light into an angular 156

RED shape so that it looked like a large yellow star. That little light helped the two men work their way home again and they hurried into the bhed to take care of the ewes. The doctor was just leaving when they came to the doorway. "Everything all right with Mrs. Mollie, Doc?” “Sure thing, boys. Those two ewes you just put in the shed aren’t going to be the only things nursing a yungun come spring! Sort of think that it will make it easier on you all here. Good night, boys, and Merry Christmas.” They chorused a good night to the old doctor. Glancing into the amber glow of the little cabin Paul looked at David and said, “It is Christmas, Dave. And now’s I think about it, an awful merry Christmas for everybody.” D. M. Begley

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, GREAT BOOKS PROGRAM?

Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Rousseau, Marx, Swift — these men are great authors. What is a great author then ? 一 There you have a question that might be asked and discussed in a Great Book’s meeting. Actually, what do you mean when you say a man is great ? Is he well known? Has he written only a book? Or what did he do to be called great? When you 1 iear names like Plato and Aristotle you picture ancient, dry, boring volumes full of impossible philoso phy. But you’ve read Swift’s Gulliver's Travels, one of these “Great Books”，haven’t you? Then what didn’t Swift like about the Eng lish government? Do you think he had a point? Would he be able to say it about our United States’ democracy ? Why do you answer the way you do? No, the Great Books are not the collection of musty, outmoded ideas, but rather the conservation of the ages, including that of 1950. Nor is the Great Books program a dry lecture series; quite the contrary, you, the participant, are the speaker — or more exactly, you are an active bullshooter in an intelligent bull session. What do the leaders do then? Why not just sit and argue? Why does an athlete need a coach ? Not to do the playing, but the guiding. The two leaders in a group only suggest and ask pertinent questions. You suggest an answer or counter somebody’s else’s reply. For the same reason the list of books to be used during a year is set up, they supply the ideas you toss around and challenge. The whole purpose of the program revolves around the stating and formulating of positive ideas. For example, one man describes the change in his conception of God after reading and discussing St. Augustine’s Confessions, “First you think of an old man with a beard. Then you take away the beard. Then you take away the old man. What’s left is God.” Although your own ideas may be more definite in this respect, do you agree with what your neighb or 157

RED thinks about women or war or white lies or athletics or education or freedom of speech or equality, ad infinitum ? Are your own ideas crystallized and expressible ? Therefore, if a person joined a Great Books club for several years, he should have definite answers to all such questions. You’re wrong — the answers are never dictated. They are only suggested and given by you yourself as you think they should be. If your neighbor disagrees, you have a defense to prepare. Nor are the possi bilities exhausted — as one college graduate wrote, “I used to think I knew all tlie answers. I know now that T don’t, but at least I know a little more about all the questions than I did.” Neither is the Great Books program a course for college pro fessors and graduates. Housewives, mechanics, nurses, clay laborers, all have joined groups and form by far the larger part of them. In fact, college students, while possessing a lot of technical knowledge, generally have been found to have less ability to express ideas than many with a lot less education. And formal classroom lectures have been accused of being “a process by which the notes of the teacher become the notes of the pupil without going through the mind of • either'. The purpose of Great Books is to help you /earn how to read, talk, and listen. That you understand and explain absolutely everything in a certain book is not even expected. Mortimer Adler defines a great book as follows: “A really great book is a book which is over every body^ head all the time. The ordinary fellow gets a lot out of it and finds it inexhaustible.” The books included are not all the great books ever written, but they are books selected to promote dis cussion because of, for instance, disagreement between two authors. One can well imagine what an argument there could be. 509 works of 71 authors are used during a course extending through a number of years. There are no entrance fees or dues — all you need is the books required for that year’s series. And the program can continue for many years, or just one. One group in Chicago has completed its 15th year now, since it was Mortimer Adler and Robert Hutchins, both of the University of Chicago, who first introduced the present system. The method is as old as the questions of Socrates, but the present movement dates back to 1920 and John Erskine, who was looking for a useful means of entertaining the soldiers still in France. It was from him that Adler got his ideas and finally brought them to Chicago. Since then over 20,000 Americans have formed groups. Milwaukee, for example, had 19 at the end of 1948. Great Books has never been proposed as a panacea for world ills, but only as a means of acquainting and interesting you in some of the basic questions of mankind, the questions of the ages and the questions of today.

RED WHENCE EDUCATION? ;

11 :，:

!：!

“Sorry, but we haven’t the time in class to answer individual questions.” 一 Have you ever heard these words before ? Sure you have. They are the “famous (or infamous) last words’’ of every professor, and indeed they must be so. Why ? As you have probably experienced for yourself by this time, education is a funny thing. Everybody goes around telling eve body else that he doesn’t know what education really is. That everybody who isn’t a student at N.W.C. But since we boast our selves a school where the Classics are still in the limelight, we know exactly what education means. All we have to do is look for a cognate in the many foreign languages of which we are masters .Sure enougli — the word education comes from the Latin “educo”, meaning to lead out”. Now we know what education really mcarhs. Now we know that we cannot be educated in the classroom alone. We all know that in order to “lead out” there must be something to lead out. This, then, is the task of the professor, to fill our “lioppers” with something to lead out. That is all that he has lime for, and that is all that the catalogue (which he most assuredly must abide by) prescribes for him to do. He has not the time to “lead out”，and therefore his “famous last words”. So what? So usually, nothing! For many of us our education ends right in the classroom. Our hoppers are filled (or, at least, are supposed to be filled) and the worm which is supposed to “lead out” whatever is in the hopper is never set into motion. Instead of this, everything in the hopper leaks out of one hole as fast as the professor can shovel it into another hole. In other words, we never become educated. The difficult and tedious part of the task we laboriously complete and just where the fun begins, we give up. Well, where does that leave us. Either we turn out to be a bunch of uneducated hicks who think they know it all because they went to College, or we find a way to complete our education. As was stated above, many of us stop in the progress of our education just where the fun begins. Therefore it would follow that whenever we have fun or enjoy ourselves we are completing our education. This being called to our attention we now unanimously choose to complete our education, for if we wouldn’t know anything that we have learned or experienced, we would have a hard time having any fun. For what fun would bowling be if you couldn’t count. What fun would skating be if you couldn’t interpret actions or understand the language? How could we enjoy a book if we couldn’t read ? How could we enjoy our food if we had never tasted anything infer ior to what we are eating? So we see that fun and enjoyment are only a result of knowledge and experience. 159

9RED Let us then consider two very elementary subjects which we as College students surely ought to be acquainted with. We know how lo read, and we know how to speak. Nowhave we been getting all the fun and enjoyment out of this knowledge that we possibly can f If we are, we can call ourselves educated to some degree, at least. But whal enjoyment is there in reading and speaking, you ask? Foolish question. Surely you have enjoyed yourself while reading a book. And speaking — haven’t you ever been in a “bull session” or a good, sane argument? That’s fun, isn’t it? But how very hap hazard isn't all this. Wouldn^ it be a good idea to have a more sys tematic procedure for reading, bull sessions, and arguments? Right! And your chance for this has conic. Somewhere in this issue of the Black an«l Red VOll will find an article giving a description of the the “Great Books Foundation”. Read this organization known article and •、■( )ii will l)c shown liow one can organize his reading, lii^ bull sessions. nnd his arguments in such a way that lie will be getting the most out of the difficult part of his education.

MR. JABBER BRAGS NO MORE Tt all started when Mr. Jabber, the local blowhard, bought his first automobile, a new model T Ford. Oh, he had a right to be proud of his new car because this was the first horseless buggy which ninny of the citizens of this western village had ever seen. But》【r. Jabber was more than proud; he was downright stuck up when he drove his new auto through the streets and would laugh so hard that lie would almost lose control when somebody would shake his fists at him for scaring his horse. Even before ^Ir. Jabber bought his horseless buggy, most of the local citizens did not care much for him because he was of an ex tremely talkative nature. It wouldn’t have been so bad if he had told the truth, but usually he would start blowing about all the great tilings that he used to do and what he could still do. Matters were much worse now, for all he br?gged about was his new Model T Ford. According to him it could go ten times faster than the fastest horse around, and negotiate mud holes that would make a horse stop dead in his tracks. It was no wonder that the citizens began to make a plan where by they could teach Mr. Jabber a good lesson. The very next time that he would start bragging about his great automobile, a certain Mr. Ulose would suggest that they have a race between the Model T Ford and a horse and buggy. This opportunity came very soon and the race was scheduled. Mr. Jabber was very confident on the day of the race. The race 160

RED was to be the distance of twenty . miles over a mountain road, and Mr. Ulose would have a thirty minute start. After the starting gun was fired, Mr. Jabber was saying that lie would pass Mr. Ulose and get to the finish line at least thirty minutes ahead of him. The compankms of Mr. Ulose said nothing but laughed under their breath, for they knew who would win, and it wasn’t going to be Mr. Jabber. The thirty minutes soon passed and Mr. Jabber started out in his Ford. It did not take long before he liad passed the horse and buggy. Because it was a warm day and he had luncli along, Mr. Jabber decided to stop for a rest and eat his lunch. While he was eating his lunch, Mr. Ulose passed by and they exchanged a shouted greeting. The time was now at hand when the companions of Mr. Ulose were to do their part. You must remember that this was on a mount ain road and that a small landslide would block the road. And this is just what the companions of Mr. Ulose had planned, they blocked the road by means of a landslide. Mr. Jabber knew that he could never cross it with his car, and lie figured that the horse could never pull the buggy over. But what lie now saw be could not figure out, Mr. Ulose was taking the wheels off his buggy! With the wheels off, the horse easily slid the buggy across the pile of dirt and rocks. Once across, Mr. Ulose put the wheels back on the buggy and went on to victory. After this, Mr. Jabber never had much to say, for as soon as lie started bragging, he was reminded of how a horse and buggy had beaten his Model T. But the thing that bothered him the most was how that landslide started on such a quiet, windstill day. E. Greve

TRAMPLE, TRAMPLE, TRAMPLE Has it ever occurred to you that our football teams could easily be compared to the royal burials at the ancient cemetery of Ur? Many of you may be familiar with the procedures used in the royal burials, and I’m sure all of you know what has happened at North western games this year. It was just before the First Dynasty of Ur that royal personages received such royal farewells. After the body of the royal one with the sacrificed bodies of two or three of his more intimate servants was placed into a sealed tomb, a feast was held in the large chamber around the tomb at the bottom of the burial shaft. While the fifty some participants were feasting and sleeping, mourners from above began to throw in ground that bad been previously removed from the shaft, thus burying them alive. They were then trampled over 161

RED until the ground above them was solid. Then a few more bodies were sacrificed and covered up in the same manner, and this same procedure followed until the hole was completely filled. It was during the Dynasty of Coach Umnus I that Northwestern football teams in the same manner buried their football opponents alive by trampling over them until they were completely worn out. The boys kept on repeating this procedure at every game. They practiced for several hours each week day — digging the hole — as it were. Then at the week end came the sacrifices and the burials as they trampled over each succeeding team — with one exception. Let’s continue boosting our team, even though there are no more games left this season. May thev be just as successful next year — R.G.H. and win that one extra game!

^httartal Suggestions for a New Life ... THE gods, the faculty, the ever loyal students and whoever else feels righteously indignant pardon me for having the amateur s audacity to suggest that we could stand a change in a tew of the sacred customs around here. To my naive eyes it seems strange that we who pride ourselves in being ?ome of the few who Uudy the Greek language, indeed, specialize in it, should not be able to describe a Greek temple by other means than a few vague gestures of the hands which state no more than that this temple has length, width, and height. It appears both outrageous and be traying that we who study German seven years to be able to read Luther and others should then have to read Luther in English class. If we study Latin six years and gain no proficiency, it is a disgrace to both students and professors. Here I give a chance for both to blame the system and offer an example of a possible change. The “Gymnasium” system seems to have become outmoded or at any rate degenerated. We profess to study the humanities but all we 163

RED can produce, besides pride, is a Mulligan’s stew of samples and tidbits. A more economical system would take one thing at a time. Why not study one subject exclusively for one quarter? The sub jects which we now have could be combined into logical groups (as some have been) such as Greek (Homeric, Attic, Koine ami religion), science (physics, chemistry, biology, physiology) and philosophy (philosophy, logic, psychology). Some of course, would not fit in any group and would have to be taken separately. Class recitations would be about one hour long and then there would be* an hour's free period before returning to the class. The fret* periods could be staggered to make use of the rooms and the pro fessors, and would serve as relaxation or study periods. Perhaps, if need lie, two subjects could be assigned for one quarter and the class time be divided alternately between the two. This system would allow both students and professors to concentrate on one or two topics not four or five. By taking one thing at a time a feeling of solidity ouglii to be imparted to the student. It’s true that one can get very tired of a course, but once this feeling of revulsion is over the subject will be as famiiar as a member of the family and no uiulue fear need be felt. As soon as the strangeness wears oft, thorough imloctrination can begin. Too often we notice that just as wc start getting interested in an assignment we must quit to prepare for another class. Or why meet discouragement in three or four classes as new students often do? If all efforts could be directed towards one goal, progress will be more evident, which is some thing we all like to see. Versatility might be advanced as an argument for the old system but versatility is dependent on firmness and mastery. We want to jump not fall from one ledge to another. Since wc ouglu not soak up ideas as indiscriminately as a sponge this newer system would give us a better chance to see relatecl ideas in connection with each other instead of having to snatch, cafeteria style, from one class and another. An art course wouldn't hurt anybody either but it might teach us the difference between the ‘.Winged Victory” and our own heroic, glorious, pious ••Sprinter”. Who knows, someone may even see that beauty and grace can be of some practical use and give evidence of his belief in the form of table manners. Respect for the mother tongue would suggest that we free it of some of the atrocities which creep in from language classes. Literal translation is put to good use in the classroom but the out landish combinations which it fosters give their users the expression of a moron at loss for words. Everyone realizes that a truth is no 164 •

greater because of a fine way of saying it, we, however, often cannot through inexperience or ignorance choose any word, much less the right one. We do not want a stumbling word order or a ridiculous expression to distract from the tliought. No special speech class is necessary, just a little practice in English class to let us keep the fluency we acquired formerly. We don’t want to polish our speech but correct it. Tests should be unannounced and frequent. If tests arc to be reused the papers should not remain in the students’ hands. Tests arc to test reliability not cramming ability. The recurring shocks of unexpected tests will keep up the mental level and gradually studying will become the expected and customary tiling. Of course, the subjects ought to be divided into two groups of quarters for preps and collegiates respectively. Further improve ment would keep preps and collegiates out of each other's hair in separated living quarters. (My apologies to tlie “I know my rights” prep and the magnificently humanitarian collegiate.) If some still feel a change is superfluous let us remember that as soon as we think we need no change wc ought to be especially careful that we don’t stagnate. To comfort the honored conscrvatives we ouglit to reassure them that it’s not the studies that need changing b«t the manner of study. Tlie change would be beneficial if only for its novelty. A new schedule requires a new outlook and system of approach. Perhaps we might even find some of the “jimmies” outdated. H. Koch

Patroon With Oleanders ...

N THE 15th of this month, the Junior Class presented the fourth movie of the first semester series. “Dragomvyck’’， starring Gene Tierney as Miranda Wells, and Vincent Price as Nicholas Van Ryn, proved to be heavy fare, often melodramatic in form. However, there was enough plot and good acting to keep the audience’s attention. The plot took us back to the Hudson River valley region of New York state during the 1840’s. There one could still find a remnant of the medieval feudal relationship existing between the lord and his tenants. Nicholas Van Ryn was the last of an ancient Dutch family which resided in the huge manor house Dragonwyck. All was not well on his estate. The tenant-farmers were becoming tired of paying duties to the patroon, and wished to buy the land they were renting. 165

RED Into this setting came Miranda, a distant cousin of Nicholas. She had been invited by him to be the governess for his young daughter. After having been smitten by the charms of Miranda, he poisoned his wife, a gluttonous woman, with an oleander plant. After the briefest period of mourning, he married Miranda, and eventually a son was born of their union. However, it was a cripple, and soon died. This made Nicholas very neurotic, and to top it all off, a family ghost began to plague him. Finally he became a drug addict, and tried to kill Miranda in the same way lie had killed his first wife. Realizing too late that she had married a pathological case who would do nothing to better himself, Miranda was rescued by a local doctor who also loved her. Nicholas was done away with by a bullet as he resisted arrest, and Miranda and the doctor looked forward to liappy years. The* acting of (iene rricrncv and Vincent Price, in so much as they portrayed and sketched definite characters, characters which engrossed the attention of ail audience, detracted from the heavy plot. Eye catching scenes and period backgrounds also helped ro offset the melodrama. Again I would advise anyone who saw the movie and wishes to get a full liack^rouncl to read the novel *'Dragonwyck'* by Anya Scton. H.

Well, men, have you all got your long-Johns and red-flannels out and put them in working order ? Better hunt up your old coontail caps and the bearskin mitts. Get the sheepskins out and brush them off and hang them up on the hook. — Why ? — ’Cuz a little old man put di bug i’ my ear (lat 've’se in fo’ a real cold blow. Surely hope lie's wrong.

One day his mother deprived him of his customary piece of candy. (She thought he would get too fat! Hah, Hah!) In a flood of tears he burst out crying and ran lo his sympathetic brother and exclaimed (in a slight deutsche brogue): '*Ma hat nia’ candy! Boo Hoo! Ma hat ma’ candy! Aw Boo Woo!!” 一 And thus, Si. Janke tells me, he came to be called Mahatma Ghandi. Often been wondering what constitutes an infraction of the athletic no-smoking training rule. Does that mean no athlete is supposed to draw smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe? Or does it mean no smoke inhalation of any kind? I was just wondering (cough) because that old office in the dorm is getting to be a literal “Blue Room”. Every recess and post-meal period has a ceiling visibility of about minus 10. Hope the fellas can hold out till the new club room is fixed up; otherwise, half of us (including the basketball players) will be some mighty juicy smoked hams, and the others 一 well, they’ll forever be looking goggle-eyed through smoke ring goggles, (cough, cough) 氺

Those who are action-minded usually exhibit this spirit by enlisting in the armed forces. But did you ever see anyone actually participating in combat maneuvers in a classroom?

Well, the Big Ten football season came to another dramatic close as each of the upper teams gave battle to win the coveted berth on the rose-bowl trip to California. Surprising, to say the least, was Minnesota's team. It’s clean and straight record for the season was marred by the blot of one game won. Anyway we Minnesotans never give up hope, eh Witte and Karnitz ? But then there were the Michi-gooses (ganders) and P. Hoenecke. Wow! Those fellas couldn’t lose. Of their two home state teams, Mich. State or Mich. U., at least one was bound to win each Saturday. Thus at the end of the season the final whistle found Michigan trekking out to Cali fornia. And that's why young Chick has been looking so rosy as of late. You can’t keep a guy from Michigan down!! Talking about people going away, I guess the Frosh really ••enjoyed” themselves when they pilgrimaged to Chicago to look at stuffed mummies and to ride on the Lake Shore Drive.

All of them returned with sore feet and saturated to the cranium with knowledge and excitement, except a few who cast their excess bur den out of the bus window enroute. * The Dear Deer Hunters Get Skunked, or It’d Be So Nice To See You, Deer! At the commencement of the Thanksgiving holiday five hunters of the fairer sex (deer) went on a motorized expedition into the northern wilds of Wisconsin. (Not to be forgotten are the bagging trio of the Sophs, Capek, Ruege, and Brandt.) Well, this particular group went ahunting completely outfitted to the “T” (only they brought along the “一rouble”）Taking along a wellbalanced diet of canned beans (usually very cold), tin-canned sardines (also usually quite cold), crackers, and lots of powdered soup they planned to spend a glorious week-end deep in the heart of the north woods. However, the dear deer couldn’t quite see it that way so they went another way — way inside the swamp and there suc cessfully eluded the pursuing artillery. The fellas returned deerless (or was it “dear” -less?), but they still maintain they enjoyed a good time. An interesting note: They saw no deer until the season was officially closed for about 10 hours. (Ed. note: Those deer aren’t so dumb.) I’m Popeye the sailor man, Whoop, Whoop! I never was what I am, Whoop, Whoop! I’ve the strength of an ox, I can rassle and box. I’m Popeye the sailorman, Whoop, Whoop! Yep, Charles Atlas, the strong boy, just wrote and told me he recently enrolled three students from N.W.C. in his terrific musclebuilding course. Seems these individuals always got the raw end of the deal, according to the law of the survival of the fittest, which they claimed “prevailed” at N.W.C. So equipped with dumb-bells (the stupid cousin to Din R. Bell), weights and instruction booklet these mighty three proceeded to restore their torsos to the wonderful shape Chuck Atlas promised them. By the way, now Ch. Atlas can again start his business since he finally got some customers. Oh yes, these potent “three” may be located in Geo. Tiefel’s room at any 170

Yes, sir, the peaceful solemnity of evening’s devotion was disturbed by the announcement of an arson’s antics bursting forth into consummation. The culprit(s) figured the mice in the dorm needed a couple of puffs on a weed so they just slipped a lit butt into a suitable hole. Apparently the mice rejected this offer, for a floor joist got the hot end of the deal and took to smoking volu minously. However, the fireman soon put an end to this business. Truly, that night tlie whole dorm slept much more soundly since it was assured that no further damage could result. — And then right on the heels of this hot stuff comes the fire marshal to make his inspection of the dorm. When this news was spread “abroad”； there surely were a lot of fellas taking “sick” leave from class. And surprisingly enough the reports of the inspection were verv favorable as compared to those of previous years. Teachers are made not born ? — What’s your answer ? J usl ask L.

Four Gosling Gridders Honored Again this year the coaches in the Badger Illini Conference have chosen an all star football team. Since most of the conference teams used the two-platoon system or some variation of it, offensive and defensive all conference teams have been chosen. Mission House, llie conference champ, leads the pack with seven positions. North western is not far behind with five berths. Chworowsky, A1 Bitter, and Don Bitter, at guard, quarter-back and full-back respectively were clioscn for ihc offensive platoon. Dick Buss at tackle and Al Bitter in tlic safety position arc the defensive stalwarts. Al Bitter and Meyer, lCxtension tackle, arc the only two sixty minute men chosen on both offensive and defensive platoons. For some strange reason Paul Manthev, Northwestern^ hard driving half-back, was overlooked. Not only is he one of the hardest running backs and one of the most rugged defensive men in the circiiit, but lie led tlic league in scoring. We can only say that in our book Manthey is all conference caliber and deserved a position.

"THE.'PIOUS GENERAL*', from tho publither*. Caroy and Har Molhcrbovsv I

Born the son of the illustrious Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg, founder of the Lutheran Church in America, Peter was destined to overshadow his father’s fame. A great supporter of Ameri can independence, he did everything possible to widen the breach between the colonies and the king. With hostilities about to break out, he summoned his congregation for his last sermon. Reaching the climax of his speech, he shouted—"There is a time for all things. A time to preach and a time to fight. An<^ now is the time to fight!” With those now immortal words, he cast aside his clerical robes revealing his uniform as an officer in the Revolutionary Army. Peter went on to win glory as a Major General. He was elected to the first, third and sixth Congresses and later served in the Senate. His statue stands in the famous Statuary Hall at the nation’s capital. Financial freedom, too, is a goal we strive for throughout our lives. The easiest way tp obtain this security for our un productive years is through insurance. et the little professor show you the way to ©nioy old age.

A LONG, HARD ROAD An old dilapidated wagon rolled into the barn. It had been extremely hard trip. The grizzled driver on the buckboanl (|uietly dropped the reins from his liancls. The team in i front was sweating hard. A young lnd walked lip to the spot and greeted the wizen-faced man with a cocky, happy-go-lucky voice. He was rnswerecl with a worn drawl saying，“I brung you in a whopper of a load, youngster, I kiiula hope you make out okay on the relay from here, ’cause she’s all vours.” **Don't worry about it. mister. I，ll make out swell,” answered the boy. “I’ve got a spanking new wagon, a fresh oat-filled team, and I know I can tackle whatever the road ahead has ready for me.” The driver looked at the dauntless lad. He liked that daring attitude, but realized that when this young fellow’s relay to the next station was finished his spirit would be tempered with a good por tion of necessary knowledge, and that he would have lost much selfreliance. The two started switching the loads from the battered wagon to the new one which seemed to radiate the youth’s care-free feelings. “I’ve got a miglitv big package for you here,” said the old man. “Sorta hate to hand it over to you. But these things have been hanclC(\ over every year, so I reckon I’ll have to do the same. It’s got “Korea” written on it in big letters. Don’t rightly know how in the world it got on this load, but it’s here and I guess you're stuck with 174

RED it. You woivt it，Here's nnotlicr one that's gol "Taxes” wriilcu be making any friends when you deliver tlial one. I guess you have lo do it, though. 1 reckon this one marked “Conimiinism” fits in with these last couple I've given you. You’ve got more than a load already, but there's still more here.” The old man’s voice droned on, reading off one package after another: “AcckleiUs”，“Diseases”, “Crime”，“Cliurcli (jnionisni”. His voice gradually became weaker as he shifted the evils of Pandora’s box from the one carriage to the other. At the same time the lad was more and more eager lo bo on liis way. to sec limv lie could handle the load. In the dim recesses of the barn a clock started tolling. It w;is tlie hour of midni^lu. All over in the world oulsidc one could lu.ar horns blowing, guns shooting, people shouting and making- gay as they ushered in the new year of nincteen-luindrcd and fifty-one. As lho clock continued its steady tolling, the old man and liis wa^on and team gradually started fading, joining and converging inlo ll^c past. Before finally dissolving into oblivion, lie spoke to the youthful driver of the team eagerly straining at its harness and pawing at tlic ground, zealous for the twelve month journey ahead of it: “There’s a long, hard road ahead of you With its share of stones and holes, And the year will bring its troubles As to cliill quite many a soul. ■'Hut if such a thought would stop a man. Then be might as well give up; For a man should do what best lie can, Even if the load should rub. “Then I say my lad take on that load. Don’t you think lo lose the wav! For I tell you, in high heaven’s abode God will answer if you pray.” Paul Eckert •••

A SYNOPSIS OF MILTON JOHNSONS POEM ''Classroom Lost and Classroom Regained" "Classroom Lost” Tohnson begins his famous poem with a short preface to the professors to forgi ve him if he should in any way misrepresent their side of the story. So that they couldn’t raise an objection against the first few pages, he begins the story as he and his friend, Tom Yung, are walking down the hall of the old dorm at NAV.C. They meet Salamaius, who had shagged out a while before and was now returning. Milton says, *'I wouldn't go back into the classroom right at 175

Salamaius asks, *'\Vliv, what l)it him?” Milton answers “If we* walk back a ways you can hear for yourThe three walk l)ack lo the door and listen awhile. The pro fessor was explaining once a^iin the purpose of the course and liow such tilings irritated him. Salamaius decides that this would be a most inopportuiK' time to return, so the three make their way to the clubroom and up a fajj. Salamriius asks, "Jusl \vliat were you ^uvs fining that put I*»i!iyin tlii'i franic of mind ?'* M ill on l>c<;ius. “It all、tark.<l last nijjht when we bad to wait from ilircc till ten after tluvc l)cfore tlie coast was clear so that wo could sneak in. Then this morning tutor came around and acted bit suspicious, and mtlur confirm suspicious we got up aiul went to class. Kvcrvtliing went fine until this period. Mv eyes ju.、l \v«»ul(lirt stay o]kmi any longer and the next words I heard were. •Will VOU twn skvpinji licauties in tin* l)ack of the room please leave/ •‘Classroom Regained” John.Miii Infills this poem with more confidence, since as he so])hnmorc in College and om、. says, 11 is youngest that far vrm don'l flunk (ait.” Tlie scone* has shifted 1(» a studvn»om. Milton and Tom are sit ting on the* c<mc1i. Milton asks, "I low long w t-rt- m »u sleeping?” Tom ajiiswers, **Oh, about thirty minutes. I vaguely remember a few review questions. “That’s better than l did. The minute Billy came into the room I could feel that sleep was overpowering me* and I didn't resist. "How about telling： Billy tliai we were just resting our eyes.” "For a half-hour. Nope, no good.” "Perhaps the old excuse that we can concentrate better if we close uur eves would、vork.” ••It’s all right to close our eyes but an alert mind is also necesin order to concentrate.'* “I guess the best is to tell the pure truth and take the conse________ ” (|uences. “In the long run that's best. That was the second bell: Let s go face it.” The two walk down the hall feeling like a canary in the paws of a cat. As they enter the room tliey see Ihe professor seated at his desk. The two take a His first words are, ''Won't v« m be seated 17(5

RED seat and the professor continues, “Do you know why I asked you to leave?” “No.” “First of all, it’s bad for the morale of the rest of the class to see someone enjoying himself. I really shouldn’t say ‘enjoying’, should I? It isn’t comfortable to sleep in an upright position, is it? And then the hard desk might make a permanent mark upon your forehead. Just think of that and it won’t happen again. G. A. E.

WORTH WAITING FOR! What’s happened to the atmosphere in the office ? It’s now possible to see from one side of the room to the other, to enter with out a gasmask and to walk over to the safe without tromping on tlie corns of any number of members of N.W.’s Smokers’ Clu1>. Tbc reason for this most welcome change soon became evident returned after Christmas. A first rate improvement had been made. The change from carpenters’ shop to clubroom has established the fact that it is possible to make a purse out of a pig’s ear. Our roomy new clubroom is one of which we can and should be mighty proud. A remark made by a member of the basket ball team of St. John's 及lilitary Academy strikes us as being a fine description. Said he, as he poked his head into the door, “Oh, oh, officers* quarters !M For our alumni and friends a brief description is perba^js in order. Our new clubhouse is located in the basement., directly to the right of the Kanteen. Tt is exceptionally roomy, being perhaps five times as long as it is wide. The old cement floor has been covered with mottled red asphalt tile, practical and easy to keep clean. Soundproofing, perforated Celotex, covers thc entire ceiling. The walls are painted an appealing shade of green, and the woodwork, fwhich includes window frames and sills, the knotty pine partition at the far end, the cabinets for brooms, etc., and the magazine rack) are finished in mahogany stain. The furniture from the second floor clubroom of former years (now a super-bedroom) has been trans ferred to the new location. In addition a considerable amount of flashy new furniture has been purchased. This includes two new floor lamps with striking bright red shades, four sturdy ash stands, two comfortable chairs in bright colors, two couches, a round table with tubular chromium legs, two beautiful table lamps with shades of the most modernistic futuramic design and tables to match, and a pair of squat end tables. Prior to its completion the student body voted to move the billiard table from the prep to the collegiate club room. After the new clubroom had been completely furnished, how ever, there was an almost unanimous change of opinion. Beside the 177 i

RED fact that it would hardly have liad room, it was felt that to place a bil liard table into this clubroom would be almost like placing one into the living room of one’s home. Complete to the last detail, even several decks of cards have been placed at our disposal. And now it’s up to us. Next time you visit the clubroom, turn on some soft music, sink down into one of the easy chairs and light up your favorite brand, remember that you’re sitting in the finest room of its kind in the Wisconsin Synod and that it cost synod a pretty penny to give it to us. Let’s show our appreciation by taking pride in its appearance, keeping it neat and orderly, and by conduct ing ourselves as \vc would in our own home. For us, it was some thing worth waiting for. Let’s keep it as something worth looking forward to for others. M. J.

THE INDIANAPOLIS u500" For 364 days of the year there's a “brickyard” in Indianapolis that remains practically unheard of in the news, and unseen by the general public; but on Memorial Day the “brickyard” is crawling with people and sliiny, high powered, low slung racers. For many years Memorial Day and the “Indianapolis 500” have been synony mous in the minds of millions. The “500” at Indy, is a spectacle of speed and skill that is annually witnessed by a crowd of some 250,000 racing fans jammed in the huge stands and on the inner circle of the track. We left for Indianapolis the day before the race so that we would be among the first ones there, or so we thought, but for about eighty miles west of Indianapolis the traffic was so heavy that we were lucky to liit sixty m.p.h. at the most. The track is located on the far west side of the city and at four P.M. when we arrived, there* were already tents, trailers, trucks, and busses packed in an area of four square miles. The Indianapolis State Highway Patrol estimated the number of people in this area to be about 150,000 plus. Having only a car without a trailer or other equipment, we parked in a field across the street from gate 6 on the west side of the stands. The parking lot attendant was very considerate because he only charged us five bucks to park that night. For supper we had a horseburger at one of the numerous greasy spoons scattered throughout the area, however combined with a few cans of liquid refreshment we didn’t mind too much. The night before the race can best be compared to a souped up V.J. night. Everyone is usually under the influence of something or other, and everyone except a Southerner talks with a fake drawl. There are thousands of cars from every state in the U. S., but if you ask anyone where he’s from, lie’s always from Texas and the young 178

PRED ：i

I ；.i r

gals arc always from New York. All the Imlianapolis city bus drivers lhat have to carry the riotous rabble out to the track arc unique, because they all freely admit tlicy'rc from some Texas in sane asylum ;lio'vever they won't attack you as long as tliey're in their strait jacket beliind tlie wheel of tlicir sleek new 1926 busses. I-ocated across the road from the north turn on the big 2^/2 mile brickyard, is a smaller % mile banked asphalt track. All niglu long from § P.M. until 4:30 A.M. on Memorial Day there are midget, stock car, and hot rod races on this track, and arc they terrific! Every driver no matter if lie’s famous or infamous, is either from Chicago; Trenton, New Jersey; or Texas; and they all drink Mil waukee beer, which, incidentally, makes for some mighty fine roll overs and spins. \Vt* stayed at the short track races until 2 :oo A.M., when we decided that we Jiad better buy tickets for the* big race. There's a drugstore a block away from the track that's open all night, in fact I'm quite sure that's where the unliniilcd supply rcfresliments was coming from. VVliat a racket — everybody has to have a ticket, and the only place to get them is at this drugstore*. Here's how they do it, everyone waits in line for half an hour and becomes increasingly heated up on account of llic warm wcatlKT and general mob, and as you turn to go. out after purchasing an impressive looking ticket for three bucks some wise guy sticks a case of 12 in one hand, and grabs the change from the five in your ollior. Presto, there you are with 12 cans of cheap Memphis brew. After wandering around and looking in people^' cars unlil 4 :]<> A.M.. we somehow got back to our Chartreuse Ford and doublctl up inside the car for a comfortable, if not fatiguing half hour of sack time. Just as we were dozing off — —all of a sudden an eiglity-eiglu howitzer shell crashed right under the car. It was 5 :oo A.M. and the big (lav was at hand. They always signal the opening of the gates in this rather extreme way, but we weren't the only ones to take a dim view of the abrupt opening. 1'licre were some bike (motorcycle) jockeys from Texas 一 of course — right next to us who didn't on!v lake a dim view of the affair, but who alosolutely saw red, no doubt because of their bloodshot eyes. The minute the “A l)oiiih” was set off, ihe mad rush to get choice spots on the infield began. Cars were lined up bumper in grill for miles, and the poor pedestrians trying to get through the gates were being mercilessly run over bv sadistic hot rod-artists. We were lucky because all that happened to the Ford was a little scratch about two inches wide and three feet long that we picked up as a light tank with sharpened sides went rumbling past; it really is surprising liow much trouble some people will go through to get a good vantage* point. We zoomed through the underpass and roared out into llic* infield and fortv-five minutes later we had traversed the 179

block and a half to a spot next to the fence on the south turn. From the time the bomb is exploded until the race starts is a mere five hours and in tlic humid 90 degree heat a five-hour wait is perspiring. As usual we liad pulled up behind two trees wliicli obscured the view of tlie lurn completely, l)ut right next to us was a truck with a raised platform and since tlie driver was elsewhere we didn’t have to ask or argue. An hour before the start, about 9:00 A.M., Clark Gable and Barbara Stanwyck rode around the oval in a yellow Mercury convertible, top down of course. Big thrill; the^rtr both so youn^, you know. They had just completed filming “To Please a Lady”，which by the way, is a swell picture for racing cnthusiasts to sec. Every five minutes from 9:30 until starting time, the cannon was fired, no doubt to annoy the spectators. There was also a huge tent full of different colored balloons which were released ;i little while l)cforc tlie race. Finally the race started : thirty-three powerful, speedy, glisten ing, cars roared around the turn in the pace setting lap. The cream of the nation's drivers were at the wheels of these $30,000 creations. Mauri Roso. Johnny Parsons, Jim uikI Dick Ratliman, Bill Holland, Myron Folir, and many others passed by the crowd in parade forma tion. Finally tliey entered tlie main straight-away and the .Mercur\, pace car was flashing along in front at bettor than 85 m.p.li., while the powerful racers just seemed to be idling along behind. As 11k* pace car pulled in Oil the ramp, the Offy engines roared into action and the/re off. The first turn was the most dangerous. Every driver was accelerating and at tlie same time trying to break out ahead of the pack, because for every lap that the leading driver com pletes, he automatically becomes $100 richer. Most of the cars competing in tlie 500 are built for this one race only. Front wheel drive cars witli Offenhauscr engines arc usually the ones that end up in front. The speeds are approximately 155 m.p.li. on the straight-away and 115-120 in the turns, which is moving right along. Althougli the 1950 Memorial Day race only went 345 miles be fore the rains came, the race was the fastest on record. Mauri Rose, driving a car made in Detroit, led for the first ten laps, but he didn’t stay in front because jittery Johnny Parsons from L.A. turned on the heat and set a record breaking pace for the remaining 128 laps at an average speed of 124 miles per hour. However, it was doubtful that he could have kept up such a terrific pace. The Wynn Friction Proof Special that lie was driving was beginning to grind in the turns and he soon would have had to stop for gasoline and a tire change. —tlie Bill Holland, driving one of Lou Moore’s “Blue Crown Spl’s， — one that won the last three races, — was beginning to close the field on Parsons and was riding a comfortable sixth when the rain ended the race. 180

PRED The rain lasted for only five minutes which was just enough to make the asphalt curves slick as glass and far too dangerous to drive at high speeds. After the race was called, we wandered around the pits looking for autographs and souvenirs; all the drivers were inobbed so we settled for a stock car driver whom we saw perform the night before. This guy was naturally from Texas and he looked about as intelligent as a Texas Longhorn, but an autograph’s an autograph even if it is an X. We finally got up enough nerve and entered the monstrous traffic jam heading west from Indy. A few hours later it was marmalade and finally south of Chicago it was mere jelly. It only took five hours to drive the 180 odd miles back to Milwaukee (odd because you have to drive through Chicago.) So if you’re out for a gay time next Memorial Day, why don’t you drop in and see the 500 mile marathon of motors at the “l)i.ickyard’’ in Indianapolis. R. W. S.

IN EVENT OF AN ATOMIC WAR …

i'r'j

On Monday evening, the fifteenth of January, thirty of 11s stud ents met in the gym to be introduced into a first aid course sponsored by the Department of Civilian Defense. This course is aimed to ac quaint us not only with the principles of ordinary first aid, but its main purpose is to provide trained men to co-operate with the regu lar medical profession in event of an atomic bombing. These courses are now being given throughout the country just as similar oncs were given to interested civilians during the last war. We earnestly pray that it will never be necessary for us to use this knowledge which we shall gain through this course in actual war. Still too many of us have the idea that war is something which is too far distant to concern us directly. “It can’t happen here,” is the byword. The pictures of the war in 'Korea printed in many magazines and newspapers show all too vividly that it can. But that war is one in which munitions, a common means of destruction, are being used. Yet more terrible were the pictures of Hiroshima and Naga saki. There was a new form of destruction unleashed, the atomic bomb. When we were told that within a fraction of a second tens of thousands of people were killed at each blast and a greater num ber died later of its after effects we perhaps began to realize that war was fast becoming very hazardous to civilians in large centers of population because of the industries located thereabout. These facts have prompted our government to institute these courses so that first aid can be given by qualified men to the sur vivors of any bombing attack and especially after an atomic attack. 181

RED Here tlic course is to be given every Monday night for nine weeks, two liours each week. We, the thirty collegiatcs who are to attend the course, must regard it as a privilege and duty to our government to liclp in lime of need and to be ready to help our fellow man wlio may some day be in need of the knowledge we have gained in this course.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS 1 think that tlic first time I ever really got to know Hank was that Hallowe'en al)out three years ago. Wc lived only about a block apart, but I lank was a third grader, and I was only in.second. When you jjrow up and lo he as old as we are now, one year doesn't make so nuicli (lifl\*rcna\ Imt it did then. That night, though, I really made a big impression on him. I could think up just as many destructive tilings to (U> as Hank, and perhaps more, but I guess what really made him respect me was that I helped him get aw<i)r from tlic Cops after tearing1 off old man OlK-rtt's porch steps. \\\* used to get in all sorts of jams together, but most people wouldn't make much nf it. “Oli, they're growing boys," they’d say and k*t it go at that. If we trv and pull stuff like that now and use that excuse, wo don't get away with it anymore. T guess we growing l'ovs grew out of that alibi. 1 lank nnd I still do all sorts of things that other guys 'vould get c<*'iio；lu at, but we get by with it. I’ll never forget the time that the Weaver County Sheriff parked his car in front of Happy Jack's Bar and went in to catcli one. When lie came out, he had four flat tires. He had a pretty good idea who did it, but there wasn't much lie could do about it, because he wasn’t allowed to drink while on duty. I lank's eleven now and I’m ten, so most of that stuff doesn’t ^ip In- as childhood pranks anymore. That's why we always have to plan our jobs ahead of time. 'Ye’re pretty smart, though. We’ve got all the angles figured out. There aren’t many guys who can trip us up anymore. We never have much to do with girls. They’re always scared to (lo anything, and you can’t trust them either. They’re usually squealers. We figure that when we get older, we might take some out, because girls make the best wives, but we’re better off without them now. Hank’s always been a faithful friend to me, and I kind of think in the world that I of him as a brother. He’s about the best know to get into trouble with. That’s why it’s going to be so hard 182

RED lo break off our friendship for a month. You sec, I want a new bike for Christmas, so Hank thinks that we'd better quit hanging around together for a while. We always have so much fun together and it’s usually the kind that my pop doesn’t approve of. When wefre together, we can’t stay out of trouble, so we’re going to try it Hank's way for a while. I surely want that bike, so I hope it works. It’s really going to be hard trying to behave for a whole month, but I guess I’ll have to. The only reason that I think that I might lie able to, is that Hank and I arc going to liave so niticli fun the day after Christmas that we’ll make up for that month. Fm not going to tell you whal we’re going to do, but if you live in Wcaverville, you’ll read about it in the paper. This is the best one that I ever thought up. B.

^bitovini A New Years Resolution ... ^■^.^XOTHER Christmas and another year has passed. As we begin the new year of 1951 we think back to the old year with its many joys and sorrows, which all have clone their part in teaching us the varied lessons that make up experience. God has been gra cious to us. It is an agreeable pastime to reminisce, but it accom plishes little. What should concern us lies in the future. We, students, here at Xorthwestern seem to be particularly prone to disregard the outside world. We just live for ourselves from day to clay or week to week. This may be due in part to a pre occupation in our studies, but is more likely due to a negligent or careless attitude on our part. As we look ahead into 1951 things do not look particularly rosy. Higher taxes, universal military training, restrictions on luxury items, inflation, perhaps a new and worse world conflict — these are some of the things that this new year will decide on. Not a pretty picture is it for a people that is weary of 184

RED war and desirous of peace. Hut is it right for 11 s then lo sliul it out and pretend it docs not exist ? This same atlitudc may effect us in oilier ways, The same tendency which leads us to disregard the hajjpenings of the <vorl(l about us also leads us to the misuse of our time and opportunities with regard to study. The very trends whicli arc creating turmoil in tho world also are making our future work more difficult. It is very important that we equip ourselves in every conceivable way through our studies now in order that we may meet the challenges of this chaotic world. It is hard for us to realize that the tiresome drill and the memorization of countless facts lias some significance for us other than a task put on us by the professor so Ik* can test us and give us a mark. Our task is to spread the gospel through tlu* world. We must bear in mind that the* time will come when we can no longer go to a professor or teacher with our ])roblcnis, lmt \vc will have to assume leadership ourselves and solve our own proljlems. We must be prepared to assume great responsibililics. We thank God that we live in a country ilial grants us religion> freedom. There may come a time when this freedom musl lie activeÂ ly fought for. At such a time it is difficult for a student lo continue in his studies while his brothers, cousins, and friends are out dying on the battlefields without experiencing some pangs ot conscience with regard to his patriotism. However, this must 1)0 considered, that we are serving our government and our God in just as importÂ ant a way as the soldiers on the battlefield. If everyone would flock to the standards at the first outcry of war we soon would have a thoroughly militaristic state. Every student of history healizes that such a condition is one of the last steps toward the complete downÂ fall of a country. Consider ancient Rome. They concent nit cd solely on military might. Consequently they lost their moral tone and as a result disintegrated. It is our duty as preachers of the Word of God to keep up the moral tone of the country. Furthermore religion is the only means through which the world can be made a belter place to live in. Wars and education have failed to accomplish this. Wc also have our fight and it is not an easy one. Remember that \vc can also serve our country by continuing in our present work. We also can pray. No matter how black the future looks, God still controls everything. As we devote ourselves to our studies ami as we look out into the world about us in this new year as gooil citizens end as good Christians Let Us Pray. R. F.

RED Clamp Down! • • • MUST be disciplined, for he is by nature raw and wild”. 1 Such is our problem here at Northwestern. And thus we as collegiates often hear this or similar statements: “You must clamp down on the preps a little more”. Perhaps there arc times tliat the preps do seem to get out of hand, but is that due only to the lack of a regimented system of discipline? I say yes. But a different type of discipline is needed; namely, self-discipline within the collegiate 1)0(1 v. In our studies of history we note that the downfall of a nation conies witli the decay of its inner self-discipline. That is, one must be a master of himself before he is able to guide and govern others. If he is a slave to his own passions and wiless, his old Adam, he can expect little success in mastering others. The same applies to us. You know, we pass decrees for the preps, but do \vc abide by them ? For example: smoking in our rooms, irregularly attending cliapel, sleeping through breakfast, or even wearing overalls to classes. Then there are the laws of Christ ian love and thoughtful consideration for others. It is indeed quite ridiculous to try to make the preps conform to certain house-rules and yet do nolliing about them ourselves. It is mere fanaticism to exp ect them to respectfully submit to our rule when we can not even disci! :inline ourselves. The most powerful sermon is generally the one of action, that is why the Christian life of one soul is often so influential. The same should likewise apply to our specific problem; we too can rule by example. Yes, let’s clamp down, but first clamp down on ourselves. The Spectator 1 Immanuel Keant, Lecture at Koenigsberg, 1775.

What’s Wrong With Our Dorm System? ...

HOCKING? Not at all. This question has certainly been the issue of multitudinous bull sessions, board meetings, and after midnight chats. While this person by no means considers himself an expert on the subject, he will attempt to give a “one man’s opin ion” of the situation as a whole, realizing that he will undoubtedly increase his already staggering total of close personal enemies by so doing. The problem ? Many. I know, will say there is i none. In my opinion, this is it in one sentence. The environment of our dormi tory is one which lends itself to the hindrance ratlier than to the building of the character necessary in a minister of the Gospel. 186

9kED A mouthful ? Perhaps. Now for the evidence without which I would probably be “run out of town on a rail” by a certain professor. In attempting to accumulate said evidence I shall surely make my enemies, but here goes nothing. Collegiates, step up first. Why Collegiates ? Because we are older, more duty-conscious, and closer to becoming ministers. Here are m y nasty remarks: Why do Collegiates act like preps on such occasions as our last Hallowe’en festival? To get down to facts: the collegiates daniaged just as much school property, caused just as much of a mess in the halls and made just as much noise as the preps would have if they had been in charge of the festivities. An isolated incident? I’m forced to use isolated incidents, but here's more. Giving a prep sweeping for forgetting to sliag mail once, or for passing the meat plate in the wrong direction — they did it to me when I was a prep — rubbing snow into a sleeper's face, causing a rumpus in the hall during study period. They all sound like trivialities, I know, but in my opinion these trivialities, which certainly would become the preps more than the collegiates, are to be found throughout the collegiate body to an extent which is some what more than trivial. And remember that all this lias to do with a collegiate body which, as we hear almost every day from our superiors, is supposed to be setting an example and attempting in a Christian way to correct others younger than themselves — setting an example, I say, rather than needing one. The core of the trouble ? 一The combination of the collegiates and prep departments in one dormitory. This, in my opinion, is the situation as it stands along with some of the underlying causes and results. The collegiates, in the first place, exercise too much author ity over the preps and consequently the preps are over-suppressed. These preps, upon becoming collegiates, in their turn emerge from this super-suppression stage and begin to release their energies through the aforementioned trivialities — in other words, they begin to act as they would have while preps — if there hadn’t; always been a collegiate around to slap on two weeks sweeping for every misde meanor. And if you think that’s too complicated, listen to this. The preps, hindered from maturing as rapidly as they should by their elder brothers, in turn exert an influence on the collegiates which tends to keep them from maturing as quickly as they should by merely living with them. Explain myself ? 1 doubt that anyone has suffered with me this far, but here goes again! What do I mean by “too much authority and suppression”？ I mean giving a prep two weeks for passing the meat plate to someone other than the monitor. I mean forcing preps through an initiation such as we saw them undergo in October — and the point is, they were forced by collegiates who don't remember 187

RED just how they felt as sextaners but do remember exactly what was done to them as sextaners. This was done by collegiates instead of by boys more their own ages, who would be more easily supervised than collegiates. And that's what I mean by environment, too. Col legiates who live, eat, and sleep with preps will naturally influence and be influenced by these preps. More doubletalk ? Perhaps. But I hope that you find enough logic and fact in my statements, generalized as some of them may be, to realize that there is a problem, and to listen to my suggestions for the improvement of our system. Improvement of system ? Impossible, say many. What would you have Synod do? Build another dorm. Impossible! We don’t have the money. I say that until the day when the Synod does have the resources with whicli to completely solve the problem. And I agree that it is in the distant future, I say that we don’t： need two dorms. VVliat would be wrong with putting the collegiates on the upper floors and the preps in the lower section, or vice versa, by the simple process of segregation ? There would still be any number of systems through which the collegiates could have charge of keeping order among the preps — and don’t tell me that the senior in charge wouldn’t take pleasure in quelling an all-prep disturbance! Surely there would be some difficulty at first, but that would be only nat urally due to the unaccustomed increase of freedom for the preps. And how can anyone say that those difficulties would outweigh these benefits for the collegiates: living entirely with boys your own age, boys who are old enough to realize that someone else might like to study, boys who are somewhat more concerned about preparing themselves to be Christ’s servants now than they were four years ago; and for the preps, of course, more freedom and a chance to shoulder responsibility and learn to make a few of their own de cisions —responsibility and decisions which will make for better judgement and a broader scope of understanding in later life. What can zve do? I say that we can do more than make this problem the subject of numerous bull sessions. We can discuss it with our parents; we can have them write or see the board about it if they agree with us; we ourselves can talk to professors and board members about it; we can give this issue new life by merely campaigning our cause; because if we can’t, we can come to the con clusion that there’s something wrong with more than just our dorm system here at Northwestern.

RED Honor System At Northwestern? •• • !

. :

K A RECENT issue of The Atlantic Monthly there aj) pea red an article on the honor system in effect at the University of Virginia. This article written by a student of the University des cribes in terms of highest praise the honor system according to which not only the academic work but the whole University life is run Soon after their arrival at the University the Freshmen are given lecture which explains the system to them. Then there is a perioi in which the freshmen, in smaller groups, discuss the system and asl any questions that may occur to them. They then sign an honor care whereby they pledge themselves to uphold the honor system. No until they have done so can they register at the University. In ai examination the professor distributes the questions, waits to see i there are any doubtful points which he can clear up, and then leaves The students taking the examination are free to leave the room fo a Coke, a smoke, and a short bull session if they find they need some relaxation.- There is no proctor patroling the aisles, no enforced si Ience, and no cramped weariness from sitting on the same bench fo three hours. The pledge of honor which they sign at the end of the exam frees them from all these restrictions. If a student leaves some books or a coat lying somewhere on the campus he can be sure that they will be there when he returns for them. Procedure in case of a breach of honor is very effective. If anv student sees another committing what appears to be a breach of lion or he draws the attention of at least one other student to the act. If they agree that there are grounds for suspicion, they confront the suspect. If he has a satisfactory explanation the matter is dropped; if not, the case is presented to the President of the Honor Commit tee. This committee consists of the student president of each de partment of the University, plus the vice-president of the department of the accused. A closed trial is held in the courtroom of the Law School. The defendant is allowed to have anv student he wishes assist in his defense, and he may call any witness he desires. If the defendant is acquitted, all records of the trial are burned and hand shakes arc exchanged all around. If convicted, he leaves the Uni versity at once, and a nameless notice appears in the University paper giving the misdemeanor and the school to 'vliicli the convicted belonged. Do we at Northwestern need an honor system similar to the one described above ? An outsider, considering that the students are Christian young men preparing to enter the Ministry, would no doubt not think so. and some members of the faculty might agree. Most of the students, if they had thought of it, before entering would also have thought it unnecessary. But any serious student, if he is 189

RED honest with himself and aware of what is going on around him will at least consider saying yes. This is a serious charge against the con duct of the* Student-body. Is it justified? There is in effect at Northwestern no honor system like the one described above. Nor, on the other hand do we have a “no honor” system in wliicli the instructor patrols the classroom and takes every precaution to prevent cheating. In fact, we have no system. The whole matter is left up to the individual professor. As a result ad ministration of examinations varies not only from one professor to another, but also varies under the same professor as his esteem of our good Christian character, common sense, and general maturity varies from time to time under the influence of classroom episodes. The net result is ;i refreshing variety for the students as well as an ample opportunity for “irregularities”. Lest this be taken for criti cism of the Faculty let me say that I am of the opinion that most of i classwork the professors feel that a system to insure honesty in should not be ncccss.irv at Northwestern, that the individual should be able to keep a watch over himself: and hence they arc reluctant to enact prcvt-ntalivc measures except when they become clearly necessary. What arc the results of this Faculty policy? The statement that \vc have no system for insuring honesty is true in so far as we liavc no single definite system, but a rather haphazard combination of systems. Most professors seem to develop a rather informal, modi fied honor system, hoping and expecting no doubt, that the class will have sense cn<nigli to cooperate and live up to the system. But they don't. Xor can the resulting dishonesty be entirely explained as the common situation where the student, having difficulties with a sub ject, vieVls to the temptation and takes the “easy” way out. Instead of being a means to an end, dishonesty for some of us seems to have become an end in itself. To have acted more boldly and brazenly than anyone else is an outstanding accomplishment, and, as such, is to be publicized. Thus the old forms of “Unterstuezung” become commonplace. so a book is brought along to class for “reference”. The study of the “antiquities” becomes wearisome and so they . are brought along to class and are transferred to a clean sheet of paper. Of course, all this isn’t dishonesty; 've’re just “pulling a good ont； —“putting something over on the Prof.” This juvenile attitude lies at the center of our whole difficulty. Certainly the majority of the students doesn’t have this attitude. Perhaps they don't have the guts to admit it, perhaps they honestly don’t see anything wrong in it; though they don’t actively participate they are guilty of dishonesty together with those in the first two groups. They don’t want to be .‘party poopers” they don’t want to be "good boys”，so they are silent when they should speak up, and

190 .

RED then, to ease their conscience, in conversations with friends tlicv make general remarks, to the effect that the situation is bad and should be remedied — but do nothing. What should be done about it? Would an honor system such as is in effect at the University of Virginia solve the problem? I don't think it would. In the first place, from a practical point of view, f doubt whether such a formal pirn with severe punishment of infractions would ever work successfully in a small school such as ours where the students are almost ail well acquainted with each other. But more important, it would be a disgrace for 11S as Cliristians if it would be necessary to use such a system to insure honesty in classwork. A different approach is necessary. First of all we should be more exact in the use of terms. “Unterstuetzung” for example, has considerably less charm when it goes under its riglU name of cheating. Secondly we should have the courage to speak up ami openly attack an error if it appears and not sit back while our conscience grows dull. And lastly we must keep a close watch on ourselves so that we do not slowly become insensitive to temptation and sin, or carelessly put temptation in the way of our fellow students. All this is at once summed up and yet infinitely expanded in the simple passage: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself/' which is the first and best honor system.

Concert Duo ...

uf :, v

E WERE again privileged last month to hear an outstanding concert duo presented by the Community Concert Association. Comprising this concert duo were pianist Samuel Sorin and violinist James de la Fuente. These two artists combined their talents to present a most enjoyable evening of music. Mr. De La Fuente opened the program with a group of throe numbers by classical composers, including the lovely “La Campanel.la” by Paganini. The audience was immediately ingratiated by the outstanding virtuosity displayed by the soloist. He produced manv ;in exciting moment for the audience, which marveled at his power to extract a tone which varied from a vibrant crescendo to the merest whisper from his instrument. Mr. Sorin then presented the audience with a selection of piano works by Chopin, including a Nocturne, several Etudes, and a Polo naise. To this listener Mr. Sorin excelled in his interpretation of the two Etudes, especially the Etude in C Minor.. He achieved a beauti ful train of melody in the sweeping two-handed arpeggios. Another gem displayed by Mr. Sorin was a highly romantic composition by 191

RED Karol Szymanowski, '*The Fountain of Areithusc,\ However, the best number of the evening was presented by Mr. Sorin as an encore. This was tlic stupendous “Mefisto Waltz*' by Liszt. M r. Dc La Fuente rounded out the program with two violin sonatas, the first l)v Riclianl Strauss and the otlier by Johannes Brahms. Both of the sonatas are comfortably classical and gave the audience no trouble ill enjoying them. Botli were highly melodic. giving equal opportunity lo botli soloists to prove their virtuosity, which they did in a most excellent manner. It is to be regretted that more students do not take the oppor tunity lo hear concerts as these. ()nc fears that the mere term MConcei.l” already drives many away. They need not fear tliat they liave to listen to music far above them. These programs arc carefully planned l»v tlu* National I Icad(|uarters of the Concert Association to conform to tlu* average level of musical education of the American pulilic.

Well, fellas, — I suppose by now the filling after-effects of the Christmas holiday have been run off or studied off in the strenuous life here at NAV.C. The lat, juicy, delicious turkey with all its trim mings, the candy and nuts, and all the other “sweet things" that accompany the holiday’s feasting are now things of the past, things very much desired. The old Xmas holiday with all its eating, gorg ing. stuffing and cramming of food down the gullet always reminds me of the Romans* style of banqueting. About the only thing miss ing on our present day set-up is the peacock feather. —And then a person comes back to school! •. .

Presents all opened. Carols well sung, Bags tightly packed, —School's begun!

While we’re on the subject of the previous Christmas spirit, what did you fellas think of the playing of good old-fashioned Christmas carols through the loudspeaker system (thanks to J. Denninger) ? Seems to me it surely puts the old Christmas spirit across and lets everyone know of the joy and happiness of the season. It also helped some of the more sound sleepers awake. (At any rate it was supposed to!) —Tlien there was the large tree, beautifully decorated under the direction of Tutor Eggert. It was swell the way the fellas cooperated in holding the “square” open. Usually, one can expect almost any form of a flying missile, like a flying saucer or plunger, to come sailing down at any time. Twould have been bad for the tree! —Oh yes, there was also the heralding of Christmas

by the “Golden Trunipeteers，” who in private life are none other than Shekner and Backhaus, attended by Dick Buss and R. Zimmerniann. Feeling the desire to let the dorm’s inhabitants and all other ••normal” people in on some free pre-seasonal music, they produced their golden trumpets and sounded forth in a blast (and I mean ••blast”）of “esion” (which is Lower Slablovian for “music,” read it backwards and you’ll see the etymology.) Unfortunately, Tutor Voss thought it was a bit too early in the season and too late in the evening. Ode To the New Classroom Oh you Clubroom, green and fair, I low nice you look below the dorm. Your walls are clean, your floor is bare; But that's before the storm. Soon magazines and papers, butts and ashes \\ ill fill your floor up to the sashes. But bear your burden without complaining; There'll soon be somebody to do the cleaning. The Charge of ihe Light Brigade The enemy invaded the college premises with a thundering charge, cutting the defense of the hard-stomached collegians to pieces. Man after man was compelled to retire to the safety and protection of a peaceful Schlafzimmcr. The enemy struck again and again. Our brave men fell like flies before a horse’s tail. Then the tide turned; with unequalled courage and fortitude our apparently defeated men reversed their field and almost en masse charged into the enemy's right and left flank. With groans and heaves of agony the enemy was showered from the upper-story windows; he was splattered on the floor; he was flushed out by the barrage of the heavy artillery. He took a terrific beating. Then came the stronghearted souls, the reserves, who performed the mopping-up opera tions with precision and finesse. Even the understanding and very capable “Generals” (OK. Tutors, you can pay me afterwards!) stepped out of rank and made the rounds among their men, distribut ing foodstuffs with words of encouragement. They are to be commended! The havoc and devastation and unsightly mess caused bv the mighty charge of this light (-stomached) brigade was something to behold; never was the like seen before. The losses were heavy among all the ranks, but by quickly turning the rout into a charge our forces again held the upper hand. 196

But all I can think of is that oft-quoted rhyme, “Procrastination is the thief of time!” Then a spark of hope rises out of anguish so deep. I breathe a hurried prayer as I drop off to sleep, “May Providence have mercy on poor, ignorant me, And send to niv rescue a fat healthy ‘C.’ ” (Anonymous, but generously contributed by Album Kienitz.)

Flash! Flash! Extra! Word has just been received that Northwestern College has de veloped a crack (well, maybe ‘cracked’）fullback for next year's foot ball season. This new star is rough and tough and has plenty of speed. His kangaroo-like legs enable him to carry the ball with re markable swiftness and maneuverability. His popularity with the students is already indicated by his being elected “head” of his Jun ior Class. Coach Len Umnus first noticed this lad’s potentialities while observing him on the basketball court. It seems he overran and neatly stiff-armed every opponent who dared to cross his path, 一But a word of caution: He is a branded “commie,” and known to be armed at all times. He has asserted himself as such and isn't afraid to speak up in his “o、vn” defense.

Winter Singes Nets With 27 Points

Seminary 52

The lid-lifter for the ’5o-’5i basketball season was the traditional clash between Varsity and Alumni. Beaten in both starts against the Sem. last year, the Varsity was not to be denied this time and came back strong in the second half to win the encounter 58-52. Coach Worgul’s boys jumped to an early lead and clung to it throughout the first half. The second half, however, was a different story. Trailing 29-20 at the intermission the Goslings came back to outscore their opponents 38-23. Rich Winter was the big push on the offense, rolling in 22 points in the second half. However, Zimmermann, Buss, and Habeck were instrumental in holding down the Seminary’s huge front line. It was actually on the free throw line that the Umnusmen won the contest, making 22 tosses to their op ponent’s 6, while being outscored from the floor 23-18. So, with this auspicious opener against a team composed of Northwestern stars of the past, we are looking for this team to have a better than average season.

Milwaukee Tech. 63

In this, the second of the warm-up games before attacking the conference schedule, the Goslings again spotted the opposition nine points in the first half, only to bounce back in the second. Displaying smooth passing and some sharp shooting by the two forwards, Argentati and Moran, Tech pulled away from the temporarily stunned Gosling second team, which incidentally started the game. Dave Kock, Gosling forward, was the big gun in the Varsity’s second half countc*r attack, pouring through 12 points. Rich Winter with 17 points showed again that big things can be expected of him. As in the previous game, the free throws were the deciding factor. While the scoring from the field was even at 25 goals apiece, the Goslings heat Tech 20-13 0,1 the foul stripe.

N. W. C. 38

Unable to bounce back after the 20-day Christmas layoff, the Goslings were trounced by a superior Muskie five. The Kreglemen had some difficulty penetrating the Gosling’s tight zone defense in the first half and could gain only an eight point advantage by half time. Unable to work the ball in to the basket the Muskies were content to play possession ball and wait for an opening. In the sec ond half, however, the Gosling defense slackened and the men from Mission had no trouble at all in doubling the Varsity’s output. Phil Kuckhahn came off the bench to keep the Varsity in the game during the first half with four quick field goals. Lou Pluim was the big wheel in the Muskie attack, pumping the pill through no less than ten times from the floor and once from the foul stripe. From here it looks as though the Varsity’s first conference foe may be a contender for the title.

PREMONITION The sergeant's hands were trembling visibly as he adjusted the liarnsss of his parachute, and I knew that lie was scared, plenty scared. I had seen those symptoms of fear many times and had ex perienced them myself, hut had never expected to see Sgt. Ski being afraid of a jump. An old hand at this game, he was one of the ablest of the outfit, quiet and unpretentious, but and most respected with an underlying forcefulness that men know can be relied upon when the chips are clown. So it bothered me considerably to see liim shaking at the knees before a routine training jump, even though it was a night jump, which nobody particularly liked. Knowing his pride I hesitated to ask him what the trouble was, so I helped him adjust his leg straps, thinking he might want to talk to someone who understood him, and doing so would get the load of dread off his chest. But he said nothing and seemed not to know that I was there. Our plane was already taxiing into the circle of light about the loading romp, so I hurriedly moved down the line of twenty-four men, which is one plane load and is called a “stick”，making the final check of their chutes. The C-47 was waiting with engines idling and we filed aboard. I stood by the door and checked the roll as the men sounded off. Sgt. Ski (his real name was an unpro nounceable Polish handle which everyone shortened to the last syl lable) was anchor man of the stick, that is, he jumped last and it was his job to see that everybody got out all right, using very per205

RED suasive methods if necessary. He waited until all the men were aboard, then grasped the sides of the door to pull himself up. I caught his sleeve and restrained him. The light from the doorway revealed the sickly pallor of his face. He was in worse conditinn Ilian I had thought. **Sure you’re feeling okay, Sargc?”，I asked. He wet bis lips but didn’t answer for a moment. Then his words came out hoarsely. “Had an awful feeling hit me awhile ago. Somctiling is going to happen tonight. He was deadly . serious. "No one will care if you want to sit this one out, Sgt. Ski”, I said. He shook his head and pulled himself aboard. I watched him out of the corner of my eye after wt* had taken off and were roaring through the darkness toward the drop zone. He sat opposite the door, across the aisle from my scat at the side of the door. His hands gripped the edge of his metal seal; and lie slared fixedly out into the darkness. I stepped across the aisle and squatted beside him. “Got a cigarette handy. Ski?”，I asked. "Mine are buried about three layers down.” Without a word he rcachcil into the knee pocket of his pants and offered me the pack. I shook out two cigarettes, placed one in his mouth and lit them up. I squatted there for a moment trying to think of something to lhat would ease his tension. *'Nothing's going to happen. Ski，’’ I said, “I’ll have a beei. with you in the PX in less than an limir.” It. sounded pretty silly. “Sun;’’，lie said weakly. 1 rose to go back to my seat. He grabbed my pants’ leg and asked impulsively. “Can I jump in the second spot 一 I’ll never make it out if 1 don't have someone behind me.” I motioned to Sgt. Peterson to lake his place and he moved across the seat beside me. Two rows of tense faces took note of the change without seeming to observe that anything was wrong. They all liked and respected Ski and it wasn't pleasant to see him with such a bad case of butterflies. The three-minute warning signal from the pilot throws the two rows of slouched figures into a sudden buzz of activity. Uncom fortable straps that have been loose are resnapped, helmet straps buckled, carbines strapped securely to the side. We stand and hook our static lines to the steel cable above our heads. Each man makes a check of the chute of the man ahead of him. Sgt. Ski went through the motions mechanically, with a sureness born of practice, but was hardly aware of what he was doing. He stared at the signal light at the side of the door that had now flashed amber. Thirty seconds from drop zone, if the pilots knew where they were. I looked out into the inky darkness. It was going to be a dark landing tonight, without benefit of moonlight. As I braced myself in the dodrway I caught Ski’s eye and forcing a feeble grin I shouted in his ear above the roar of the engines, “See you in the PX”. His lips parted in the semblance of a smile and he nodded weakly. The green light flashed and I stepped into space. 206

RED The familiar, gratifying jerk that always left strawberry welts on my slioulders told me my chute was open. I pushed my helmet up off my forehead and raised my head to see if the canopy had filled all right. It was then that I saw the white streak plunge p<»sl me. At first I thought that the opening shock had brought spots to my eyes. Then the awful realization hit me like a thunderbolt. That white streak that had shot past me was a “streamer” 一 a parachute that has opened but has not filled with air and is completely useless. A man in such a chute plunges to earth like a bag of cement and will splatter just as far when he hits the ground, if lie doesn’t get his reserve open in lime. A feeling of utter helplessness overwhelmed nn-. I pulled down on the forward risers to speed my descent, cvcn lliou^h I knew lhere would l)c* nothing I could do to help when I got to the grouiul if Ski hadn't pullt-d liis reserve in time. I knew that lie was tlic man in that collapsed chute 一 lie had jumped right be hind me, and no one else could be close enough for me to see them in tlu* dark*ness. Spilling out of a plane at the rate of two per second, men arc still fifty yards or more apart in tlie air. I didn’t release the risers and fell verv fast. Fortunately tlic field was (|tiite soft and I landed unhurt although I hit with a sick ening lluid. I had unsnapped all superflous straps oil the way down -•■ml was mil uf illy harness in a flash. I ran down the field in the dirccti* n that I tliought Ski had fallen, calling his name and strain ing my eyes lo find a wliite pile of silk, and dreading to find what T was looking for. Then I heard someone else calling1 Ski's name and ran in that direction. It was the man who had jumped behind him and had also seen his streamer. We bunted together a few yards apart and soon were joined by the other men of the stick. We had no flashlights so we joined hands and searched back and forth across the area, but found no trace of Ski or his chute. A runner had been sent to the end of the drop zone to summon an ambulance and it now came bounding across the rough field. It was in the beam of its headlights that we saw the pile of white rilk near the trees at the edge of the field. Several of us jumped on the running board of the ambulance as it tore for the spot. We caught our breath as it stopped a few feet away. Our gaze fixed on the harness at the end of the suspension lines. It was empty. The straps had been unsnapped. And then we saw him. Sitting on a stump a few yards away was Sgt. Ski. Dazed and shocked, he seemed unaware of our presence, but as the Medics helped him to the ambulance he mumbled that he was all right. They let him sit on the bumper of the ambulance and in a matter of minutes he had regained his senses completely. He remembered pulling the ripcord on his reserve chute but had hit the ground a second later. Il had had time to open at least partially and had checked his headlong

207

PRED plunge a split second before the earth rose up to claim him. His vision of impending doom that had beset him that night came within a hair’s breadth of fulfillment. We put him into the ambulance against his will and told the Medics to take him to the hospital for a me complete examination. Before I closed the door he looked straiglit in the eye and said, “Sometimes people do have premonitions.’ ’ I’m inclined to agree. Reiter

ST. LOUIS BOUNCE 1951 marks the first year that NWC has taken part in the sec ond annual LSGC, the Lutheran Student Government Conference. The invitation extended to NWC was accepted upon the student body’s decision, and they then elected two delegates to represent NWC at this conference which was to be held at St. Louis, Mo. So on Thursday, February 8, after dinner the two delegates, K. Uiediinbender and C, Spaude, left by car in the company of Thicnsville's two delegates and two visitors. The first lap of the southern bound trip proceeded without event until snow started falling and greatly reduced the traveling speed. As night approached, travel again was slowed up by the many trucks along the highway. Thus it was well on into the night when the delegation reached their destination, the Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. fortable quarters to catch a few winks before the bell sounded an nouncing that breakfast was being served. Although the delegates didn’t si e ep o n feather beds, nevertheless the beds felt like clouds of cotton to the weary travelers. St. Louis Seminary houses its unmarried students in ten differ ent dorms, more or less separated from each other. (The married students have their own private “village”.）On the campus these various buildings form a sort of rectangle with a spacious court in the middle crossed with walks. Two dining halls capably feed the students in Cafeteria style, while to the north of the building complex stands the lofty tower of the Sem’s radio station KFUO, the Lutheran Hour Station. On its left lies the immense newly constructed field house in which the “Preachers” play their home basket ball games. Adorning this beautiful campus stands a statue of Dr. Martin Luther, upon whose interpretations of Holy Scripture the Lutheran Church is founded. After registration the Conference began its first session with an opening devotion led by orj.e^..of Thiensville’s delegates. Then fol lowed an address by Dr. Sieck, President of the Sem., welcoming 208

RED the delegates, faculty advisors and visitors to this important confer ence. Now the meeting got down to business, following a complete program prepared by the Program Committee with “precise” exact ness. (No conference or convention ever runs exactly on schedule!) The theme of the Conference was "Life in the Body of Christ” which was brought out and emphasized in a Bible study based on John, chapter 17. A huge poster carrying out this theme was placed at one end of the dining hall, where most of the sessions were held. Oil this poster were inscribed the various seals of the 16 different schools represented at the Conference. In the center of this poster stood a cross surrounded by applications of the 4 relationships to be dis cussed during the course of the Conference, the student and the student, the student and the faculty, the student and the community, and the student and the church. The sessions were well attended and were conducted in a very orderly fashion. Speakers from various schools led these sessions and panel discussions, and the audience of delegates was permitted to participate in discussing the problems and questions under consideration. As the delegates lost some of their frigidity and shyness, the sessions began to progress with more activity and participation on the part of all. In fact many of the sessions had to be cut short to stay within the closely planned schedule. Undoubtedly, the most awaited feature of the sessions for some was the meals which were served in both dining halls. In these meals no one could complain about the lack and variety of food, for all the delegates apparently remained hale and hearty. The Conference’s banquet (turkey and all the trimmings) was served on Friday ning to the satisfaction of all. After this delicious repast, several Sem. students presented the delegation with humorous skits depicting well-known personages on the St. Louis campus. Each day’s session was begun and closed with a short devotional exercise conducted by a student from the different seminaries rep resented at the Conference. In all of these devotions the theme of the Conference was carried along in different phases, ‘‘The Head of the Body”, “The Growth of the Body”，“The Work of the Body’’， and “The Food of the Body”, reminding the delegates of their relation and life in Christ’s Body. As the delegates and faculty members associated with each other, many new acquaintances were made and new friendships struck lip among the group of approximately 2S people gathered at • the sessions. The delegates were able to discuss school life at the various schools with each other thereby gaining an appreciation of the other institutions of the Synodical Conference. Different opinions were expressed, different types and forms of student government were pre sented, the various problems confronting certain schools were dis209

»RED cussed, all of which gave the delegates a deeper insight into schools outside of their own. Thus the course of the Conference went, and when it was over, everyone was happy and glad; for the Conference had progressed verv successfully. After pictures had been taken, bags packed, and haiids shaken, a tour of KFUO and the new field house was under taken. Then the Wisconsin Synod delegation drove away on its rcturn trip stopping enroute to visit the Concordia Seminary in Springfield. Cy Spaude

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND The shiny leather of the little fellow’s jacket, clinging tight to liis spare shoulders, held the angry glare of the blond giant’s ey«s as the hypnotic gaze of a serpent holds its prey. The naked bulb, swing ing loosely in the smoky air, spotlighted the tight band of leather where the jacket was stretched by the thin shoulder blades of the small Mexican and softening the dark hollows beneath those same shoulders. The big fellow knew, without looking, that the face of the little Mexican was white with suppressed anger; he knew be cause the small yet well-muscled hands of his companion were clenching and unclenching rapidly. It was a habit that he had come to know well during the two years in which he had worked the trouble shift with this little fellow who now stood irate before him. Thinking back to those two years, the giant couldn’t quite rcmember when he had first glared at that irresolute shiny jacket, but one thing that he did know was that he had been looking on that high point of light entirely too much lately. Stamping out his cigarette, he spoke. “Let’s go, Pancho. We can’t wait all night!” The jacket turned and the light cut cruelly across the sad face that topped it. The forehead was high, arching back into the straight black hair. His eyes were sunk deep in shadow while his jaw was firmly set under the sensitive curve of his mouth. “O.K. Amigo. Let’s go.” “It always goes this way,” thought the blond one. “He never spews his rage out at me, never threatens me. He just turns and sulks 一 and then, “O.K. Amigo — friend.” That’s what infuriates me. How can I relieve that anger that burns inside me? How can I ever loose that; demon when my partner always comes with that 一 Amigo. He swung the thick slicker over his arm and walked, more angry than before, toward the truck. The little fellow followed, smiling as he watched his partner climb into the truck, which stood quite aloof from the emotions occupying the minds of its masters this night. 210

PRED Jim Burks, the giant, ground the starter viciously. The motor whirled once and then thundered into action. Jim calmed its bellow ancl with a deft movement of the gear shift, harnessed its power to the movement of the truck. Panclio looked at Jim’s face in the light of the garage. The anger was gone and a look of satisfaction filled his eyes, now intent on the business of backing out. “Now he is happy/1 thought Panclio. “Now that he is lord ancl master over something, now that lie is in a position to dictate the slightest move, to correct the least error of a great machine — now he is happy.” Panclio almost wished that he could feel a sense of power like that which Jim was now feeling. It might change his entire view of the giant sitting next to him, and then again that knowledge might Ijc too dangerous for a little man to know. He was satisfied instead with an inner love for all people, 110, not really a love either, but more an understanding that took all mis takes into account, a balm that soothed any one of the many wounds that result from daily contact with other human beings. It was not perfect — lie remembered the anger that had boiled in him tonight in the locker room, but it always enabled him to grasp the hand of his opponent and say, “Amigo.” He knew that all men were the same, were one, under the different layers that society or circum stances might mould around them. “Maybe that’s why I am here tonight?” He spoke his thoughts unknowingly, but after he had, he realized that the driver was look ing at him. **Maybe tliat’s why you’re here tonight?’’, he asked. *4Because I think that I am saying Amigo to all those people in the dark when I splice that broken wire or repair that downed line, liccause I like to think that I am helping somebody when I go out with you on this trouble shooting job.” Jim was silent a moment; then he said; “That’s just the trouble, Pancho. You think too much. Those people in those dark houses are cussing us right now because we haven’t repaired that break yet and when we do get it fixed, they will still be cussing because it took us so long. Nobody thinks about us, to say nothing about caring whether we live or die. We’re just doing a job so，s we can have a paycheck for Saturday night; so’s we can pay our bills and have a little something left for the corner tavern keeper.” Pancho had heard all this before but no matter how many times lie heard those words he still could not grasp any meaning in those outbursts of pessimism. “If you think that way, Jim, why do you risk yourself night after night this way?” 211

RED “The money, stupid, the money. There is nothing in life except that which you can spend here ancl now, and this job pays well. Every Joe in the world is a separate little island, ancl how happy he is depends on how many coconuts lie’s got piled up; not on bow many friends he’s got to help him eat those coconuts.” But Jim.. Pancho started. But nothing. We’re on that northwest section o£ poles now. Keep an eye out for the break.” The Mexican sighed and then settled against the steamy wind shield. Deep inside, he hoped to see the break as only a gentle slope of line to the ground, not those fiery flashes that meant a complete break, for their very touch was death, ancl this job was bad enough without having a loose, hot wire to handle. The rain beat its fury out against the windshield of the oncoming truck; the wind sang ils song of triumph in great shrieks as it marched over the countryside, scrutinizing the damage it had wrought. Jim saw it first; it was on his side of the road. He moaned his disgust and then Pancho saw, through the driving sheets of rain, those flashes of blue which meant — complete break, danger, loose line. Now there was no more talking. The two men went at the job in the manner of specialists doing a skillful operation, and indeed they were specialists. Each pulled on the heavy slicker and picked his belt of tools off the seat beside him, buckling it into place on his belt as he stepped out into the wet night. Each applied himself to his special task. Pancho went up the line toward the transmitter to shut off the power that was giving life to that lashing beast lying there before Jim, who was buckling on his climber’s spikes to scale the pole at the immediate cause of the trouble. Pancho heard the scream as he was passing the fourth pole in the line. He felt a sickening disturbance in his stomach as he turned, fearing and yet knowing full well what he would see. The creosote on the poles plus the driving rain all added up to a nasty fall and lie knew that Jim had fallen — well within reach of that lashing line. He ran back to the truck. Jim was lying within the circle of that wire ancl he could not move. Pancho couldn't leave him there while lie ran the half mile to the transformer. He ran toward Jim. “Get out of here, you little fool. Call the plant. Tell them to send someone out. I’ll take my chances here. But slay out of reach of this line.” “No Amigo. I come lo help you. You’re my partner.” Pancho darted into the truck and flipped the switch that opened the radio circuit to the plant. The operator would send someone to 212

HED check if the circuit stayed open without any message. Grabbing a lmndle from the back of the truck, Pancho knelt a second in prayer and then started slowly toward his fellow lying in the rain, staring at the line. “Your leg hurt, Amigo?” “It’s broke, T think.” “Hohl tight.” Pancho unrolled the bundle of extra slickers that lie* had brought Irom the truck. He folded them into a thick mat and then, lying on them, edged his way slowly through the wet When lie liad reached Jim at last, lie took a firm grip on the shoulder of Jim’s slicker and on the lower hem of the rubber coat. “【’m to liavc to drag you out of the way, Jim, and it miglit hurt that leg sonic. Ready?” “T have been ready for hours.” Painfully the little Mexican dragged his large friend through the wet grass. At times it seemed days when lie at last looked up and saw that tlic lashing of the wire was at a safe distance. Its 30,000 volt hilc could not harm either him or his Amigo. lie rose to his feet and covered Pancln' laughed insanely Jim with liis slicker. The* danger was past and l>otli of them were safe. God was good. He laughed from the bottom of his belly and the lau«：1Ucr felt good rolling out of liis throat. “Ts good. Amigo?” Jim looked at the little face, radipnt for all the rain drcncliing it. “Paiiclio. what can T say? How can T tell you.. “Sav nothing. Just listen. I was eoin<r,to tell you this earlier as we talked, but now is better.” He laughed again, “Yes, now is better.” P?ncho sooke from the lines of one of the books he had been rending. “This fellow who wrote these words knew about the people in the dark houses and about you and me, Jim. Listen.. “No man is an island, intire of selfe: every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a clod be washed away by the sea. F.urope is the lesse, as well as if a Promintorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were: any man’s death dim inishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.” * “O.K. Amigo.” “O.K. Amigo.” Pancho gripped Jim’s hand in liis own and it tightened in mu tual understanding as the lights of the auxiliary truck came sweep ing down the rain-drenched road.

RED WAS ATTENDING THE L. S. G. CONFERENCE WORTHWHILE?

];•

In answering this question let us consider these three points: The stated purpose of this conference, how the conference went aljout fulfilling its purpose, and how successful were the efforts of the conference. The stated purpose of the L.S.G. Conference is this, “ i) to pro vide a laboratory for the discussion of the various phases of respon sibilities, problems and opportunities of student governments m ' our Lutheran schools, and 2) to develop a better unclerstaiuling of and relationship with the other members of our family of colleges.” There are many conferences held today with noble-sounding aims and purposes, but too many of these aims and purposes arc insincere and actually untruths. For these aims serve only as a cover-up for a grand social event, highlighted 1)y parades and banquets, or a glor ’ 二1fied “l)u丨 1-session,” to which people come for the sole ])urpose of meeting other people and having a good time. Are tlie purposes of llie L.S.G. Conference of this kind ? No, they arc not! By altcnding the conference and noting the elaborate, complete, well-thought-out program, the earnestness and interest of both faculties and student bodies, and the frank admissions of the various delegales as lo Ihc existence of problems at the various schools, one could see very defi nitely that here was a conference which was sincere in iUs aims. One could see that here people were gathered who realized that they had problems and who were honestly seeking to find a solution lo the problems. That means that the various Concordias feel that a lack of one ness and of union among their student bodies and schools, too, j list as we feel this between our school and the Concordias, Having realized the existence of problems that were common property, how did the conference go about handling these problems and seeking a solution for them ? The conference program was admirably set up in a grand outline with numerous divisions with this as the guiding principle, “Life in the body of Christ.” The confer ence was arranged into speeches and panel discussions with time allowed after each speech or panel discussion for suggestions, ques tions, and comments from the floor. The four general divisions^ of the programs were: 1) The Student and the Student: 2) The Student and the Faculty; 3) The Student and the Community; 4) The Student and the Church. Under these general heads such prob lems of common interest as how to cope with snobs, cliques and individualists; how to produce the situation where faculty and students are working together to make the various courses of most value lo the student; the importance of our associations with the towns-

214

RED people as far as maintaining the good name of our schools; how we can better get along with people of the local congregations and as sume a better position than that of a necessary evil; how we can fulfill our obligations as students to our synod. The conference was opened with a study of the life in the body of Christ based on John 17, and the various devotions were based on this theme. An effort was made to consider all the matters up for discussion in the light of life as Christians in the body of Christ. Now how well did the conference fulfill its purposes and aims ? Very good ideas and suggestions were brought forth on the confer ence floor. There were some ideas of which we didn’t approve and which we couldn’t follow. There were ideas that were ruled out on the conference floor. That is as the conference should go. I consider this a benefit in itself that the report of the convention will lead to the airing of various problems and possible solutions for these prob lems before the student body. Now if the conference results in serious thought and honest effort concerning problems which the conference brought forth, then we will have reaped many benefits from the conference. The future will have to decide this. P»ut what of the attempts at producing a better relationsliip tlu* various schools? I think the verv fact that the various bodies represented made an attempt to produce better relationships is a step toward the goal. The exchange of ideas that takes place at the conference, which reaches the various student bodies througli reports, and the association of the delegates, and the reports of these associations will slowly but surely result in better wholesome interest in the other student bodies and better relations among them. In conclusion then we might sum up by saying that it is the opinion of your delegates that attending the L.S.G. Conference was dcfinitdy worthwhile and that wc should do so again next year. K. W. Biedenbender

THEY BUILD NEW LIVES Good news for the handicapped comes from Oshkosh, Wiscon sin, where three determined young men have formed a company for the design, manufacture and distribution of rehabilitation devices. Their factory is a garage, their office a bedroom; but in the opinion of a number of grateful disabled men and women, they are more important than General Motors. Their name is Ted Hoyer & Com pany. * Ted Hoyer, who injured his spine in a car accident fourteen years ago, is the company’s founder and manager. His cousin Victor Hildemann and Bob Martin are his partners. Besides their share of the braimvork, these two men clo the legwork and handwork. 215

RED You see, Ted’s accident kft him with a motor and sensory paralysis from his chest clown. His fingers are paralyzed, too. But that doesn’t stop him from putting in a full and busy day in i his wheel chair office. He types on an electric typewriter with a plastic finger. mak€s and receives calls through a special telephone device, answers the doorbell by means of an intercom system, and with the assistance of his part time secretary Marie carries on all the managerial details that make up a young and growing business. For years after his injury Ted remained essentially helpless. 4,I was a typical cheerful shut-in,” Ted reminisces. “I tyrannized my family and made them wait on me hand and foot. I was frustrated, inwardly bitter, neurotic and of little use to anyone. Then Victor came along with his tool chest, and together we began to build a new life for me.” From constructing self-help gadgets for Ted, Victor — a liiglily ingenious mechanic and electrician — went on to build new lives for others who were severely disabled by accident or disease. Ted was always at his elbow to give stimulating suggestions. Bob, a college engineering student, began dropping in to offer his aclvicc — and thus Ted Hoyer & Company was born. The concern designs and custom makes gadgets and unique appliances oil order. Ted says: “The seriously handicapped soon discover that the special devices they need caivt be ordered from a Sears Roebuck catalog. Often the gadget which would solve some self-care problem or bring independence in work or play doesn’t even exist. We offer to try our hand at fabricating that gadget.” The company also sells and rebuilds motorized wheel chairs to meet the requirements of unusual or extremely severe handicaps. Their prinicipal item of manufacture at present is the Electro-Lift a self-operating chair-to-bcd transfer for the severely disabled. Now, polios, paraplegics, quadriplegics, arthritics, those with multiple sclerosis, €tc., can get into bed from their wheel chairs without both ering anyone. The Electro-Lift is a sturdy, handsome hoist that operates on hydraulic principles and is semi-permanently stationed at the head of the bed, ready to lift at the touch of a lever on the remote control box. A circular describing this remarkable handicap aid can be had by writing Ted Hover & Company, 1713 Doty St” Oshkosh, Wis consin. Ted, Vic and Bob solicit inquiries, problems and ideas from tlie handicapped everywhere. Their experience, insight and sympathy (of the realistic kind) enable them to make good on their boast: “We Build New Lives.” * Editor’s Note 一 Ted Hoyer was a student of Northwestern Col lege at the time of his accident.

^bxiaxxni Honor System At Northwestern, Continued AST MONTH you read an article in the Black and Red that brought the “cons” to an honor system as utilized at the U. of Virginia and the “pros” to a system which would be based on tlie principle "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thy-

seir.

I am in agreement with the author that the second system is that which should be practiced at Northwestern, but I think we should expand a bit as to just what is included in the principle of that honor system. We know that students are not saints. But it is our duty as Christian students to strive toward the perfect. We know that “good 'vorks” are the fruits of Christianity. Actions are the thermometer of faith. Now, if we find the sin of cheating to be very prevalent at Northwestern, it follows that there must be something wrong with the Christianity at Northwestern. If this is true there is likely to be 218

RED many another sign of a poor Christian spirit 一 cursing, stealing, bad manners, unfaithfulness as regards our talents, and what have you. Well, what is the verdict ? Are we guilty ? Does our Christianity need a bolstering up? Since Christianity goes hand in hand with good works you can sec our man was right when he gave us the principle for an honor system at Northwestern. That principle is the backbone of all good works, and therefore we as Christians must abide 1)V it. The problem at Northwestern, tlien, is not merely cheating. It is much more basic than that. It’s the problem of a living or a dead Christianity. How can the problem be removed so that only a living Christianitv is left? One answer would be our chapel exercises. They must become the pivot around which all life at Northwestern revolves. The other answer is each person’s private devotions. This aspect of the problem can he remedied only by the individual, but as for the former we as a group of Christians ought to make much more out of our chapel exercises than we do. Hut as we all know, even the best Christian can and will err. How is this covered by our honor system ? The answer is found in jUatt. 18; 15-17, This passage is the counterpart to “Thou shalt love It states the procedure in which one who the Lord tliy God . . . disobeys the command should be dealt with. Because ALL men are sinners such dealings do become necessary. Sinful man is unable to love God wholeheartedly at all times. When love fails him, he sins openly. Then in order that sin might not run entirely amuck in this world, there must be some external force to hold man in line. This force is “fear of punishment”. It is meant only for those lacking of faith or weak in faith. Those strong in faith obey the law out of love for God. So then, this truth applied to the problem at Northwestern would involve a carrying out of verse 17 of Matt. iS — “And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican’’. The church in this case would be the professor and the faculty. And remember, this is not what Jesus calls ^tale bearing". These steps are taken only out of Christian love and may be compared to the manner in which the church “excommunicates”. When a congregation excommunicates one of its members it does so in the solemn hope that this last resort will shock the sinner into realization of his wrong and turn him back to the church and Christ for forgiveness. In conclusion let us ask ourselves this question — What would I do if my class were to hold a meeting, and one of my classmates would stand up and say, “Fellas, this cheating business has go ne far enough. It’s a sin and it shows disrespect to our Father in Heaven. Let’s stop it. With God’s help we can.” Would we call

219 卜..

RED that classmate of ours a pietist? If we do we’re only trying to soothe a guilty conscience. Would we hear his suggestion, say he is right, and then do nothing about it ? If we do we’re guilty of making **the last error worse than the first”. Or would we be men, Christian men, and say, “You’re right. No more cheating. We who want to be ministers of Christ must of all people do right by our Savior and be an example to our fellowmen.” I’m asking you. Mow about it, fellas. Ted Jimgkunlz

Honor System •• • AN editorial written last month and in the preceding editor哪難 ial in this issue the subject of cheating in classes lias been broached and discussed to some length. 1 am heartily in agrceincnt with all that has been said. Furthermore, I believe that there is a greater problem here than many of us are willing to admit and it is one that can be bettered. Unfortunately, I am afraid that it cannot be eliminated. Because I believe that it is an important problem ami one that we can do something about, I wish briefly here to restate and summarize what I feel are the steps that should be taken in order to clear up this problem. On the part of the student I believe that the following points should be considered. First of all there must be a recognition of the problem. We all know cheating is wrong. We must connect this fact with what goes on in the classroom. Whether it is getting just a word or a whole test, whether we are copying some one else's work or someone else is copying ours, it is all one and the same thing and it is wrong. Secondly we must watch ourselves, that we don’t succumb to the temptation to get just a little help somewhere. Furthermore we should flatly refuse to give anyone else our own work or pass on someone else’s work. Thirdly when we sec our neigl ibor succumb lo the temptation to cheat we should reprimand him in the approved manner and seek to set him straight again. Lastly we should realize that this cheating is aimless. We are not learning for the Professor, but for ourselves. There will come a time when we will be sorry that we did not apply ourselves. If we followed these points we could virtually eliminate our problem. Un fortunately I fear that by ourselves we would not make too much lieadway. We must be helped. That is where the faculty comes in. As has been stated in the former articles the individual Pro fessors each have a system of their own. They too must recognize this problem not merely as one that is always present, but as one grown out of proportion. They should constantly remind the class that they should guard against cheating. They should instill in the 220

RED class a feeling of honor. Above all they should make it understood that anyone caught cheating will be dealt with and then carry tliis out. The Professor should know liis classes and deal with them in i a manner as befits their conduct. If a class deserves to be trustcrl, trust it. This will strengthen them in their honesty. Patrolling of the aisles should not be necessary, yet a certain watchfulness is 111 . place. This is especially true until the student has learned to assume the responsibility himself. It depends very much on the Professor whellicr the student will even consider cheating or not. 1 believe that with the professors working together with tlie students, each assuming his responsibility, we can lick this problem. Let’s try. R. F.

Let Us Attend Our Lenten Services ... 广（）WI.I1•:RE ill tlic Scriptures will you find reference to any such command that we should assemble durselves together for public worslii]) and instruction on each Wednesday evening of the 1 .cMitcn season. On the contrary, such a custom and practice is a human arrangement. Our forefatbens desired to have an oppor tunity \vlu*rd)y tlicy c"ul(l study the Passion Story more thorouglily in order that they could better understand the meaning of the suffer ings, of tlu* death, and of the glorious resurrection of our Lord and Saviour. And by studying and understanding, grasp with a stronger liand of faith tlu. salvation therein offered. \Ve indeed are fortunate to have tlu* same opportunity, and yet so many of us reject it. We as students think that we usually have a pretty good excuse for not attending these services O yes, we do think an alibi is necessary. And as natural sinful man, we remove all blame or guilt from ourselves and place it on our professors. “O indeed I would like to go,” we say, “but this and that professor has given us so much work for tomorrow. Don’t you think they should be more consider ate and give us an opportunity to go to church ?M I will not here try to defend the professors. On the whole, 1 think they are quite fair and just in what assignments they do make for the eve of a church service. If we tried, and it would not trke too much effort, we would find ample time to complete our assignments and yet have an hour or two to go to church. On the other hand, even •if the assignments should be unjustly long. or if wc should think so, are we doing the right thing when we ignore and by-pass the opportunity for public worship and instruction ? "But if I go, I might get a poor grade!” You know, it seems lo me that it is more than a matter of a poor grade or not. It is a matter of where our hearts are. In a sermon directed to believers, such as you and I, Christ says (Matt. 6:20-21), “Lay up for your221

selves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust cloth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your Treasure is, there will your heart be also.’’ The question is, 'vhat have we chosen as our treasure? Good marks.— they will look mighty good in the eyes of Mom and Dad? Or have we laid up treasures for ourselves in heaven, have we been zealous in search ing and studying God’s inspired Word? Our neglect to attend the Lenten services (the same is true of the Advent services) shows a definite indifference to the Word and to our conception of the value of public worship. Do not such commands as “Receive with meekness the ingrafted Word, which is able to save your souls,” (Jas. i ：2i) or such warnings as “Whoso (lespiseth the Word shall be destroyed,” (Prov. 13:13) make anv impression on our hearts ? To a certain extent they do, and thus we argue. “I am stiulying for the ministry, therefore while I have the opportunity, T will expend all my energies in faithfully doing my studies. Thereby 1 will be more prepared for the ministry of Christ. If I must miss a cluirch service now and then, I will make u】）for it when I have the proper tools for studying the Scriptures.” It is as if a man was working day in and day out trying to amass a great wealth. His goal is to acquire a vast fortune in order that he will be able to give handsome sums to the church. He also feels that he must for the present neg lect public worship in order that some day he will be a more quali fied supporter of the church. I think we would all try to show him how foolish he was. What about ourselves ? No, I am not implying that we should be sluggish in our studios. Indeed it is our God-given duty to be faithful and diligent in our studies. That does not, however, mean that we should neglect and despise the preaching of God’s Word. If ever we were forced to choose between being what we might consider a diligent student, or sitting at the feet of Jesus, don’t you think God would prefer a Mary ? But I doubt that we will ever be forced to make such a de cision, at least not by our professors. If we try, we will always be able to faithfully complete our assignments and yet find time to par take of the blessings of our Lenten services. Yes, let us beware of the indifference to the preaching of the Word that is creeping in among us. And let 11s remember, the fight,of faith requires many sacrifices: even for the ministerial student.

RED The Conflict Within Our Dorm ... feel lliat there is a conflict between the preps and the collcgiates within our dorm. Is there ? While there is some friction between the two departments，as is only natural, the actual amount has been greatly magnified by some. In our dorm live students with an age range of eight years and as many class levels. There is a division into two distinct groups, preps and collegiates. The 】）rq)s, being the younger group, have fewer privileges than the collegiates. Still the preps have some privi leges not afforded to their superiors. They are encouraged to ri>e and wasli early they may use clean washbowls. It has been a long time since a prep received punishment for leaving a washbowl dirty, but punish one ami watch how much dirtier he will leave it when no one checks on him. Each individual prep has authority over liis underclassmen and commands clue respect from them. If there is a transgression of one prep against his upperclassmen, the matter is settled effectively among themselves. A prep has the privilege to ask quest inns concerning his studies of the collegiate in charge dur ing study hour. This in itself is good, but a good many preps abuse this |)rivik'o;c to the annoyance of the collegiate. They can formulate ceaseless questions because their studies will then be finished faster, and besides, llie collegiate can stay up until breakfast studying if lie so desires while the preps must retire an hour or two before niiclni^lit. Suggest to a prep that lie think bv himself and . . . bang!... of “super-suppression” (if he could have long faces and a coined the word first). Any quelling of the rebellion of a prep is super-suppression in his eyes. This punishment from nine out of ten collegiates is well deserved and perhaps should have been given sooner. Some have expressed the idea from time to time that the preps and collegiates should be separated, even to the building of a separate dorm for the preps. This seems not only unnecessarv but would be a cause of more friction within. This definitely is not wanted in the collegiate department. The collegiate is expected to do much more work for classes than any prep. If a lower collegiate were hindered in his preparation for classes by some of the upper clases, the former would be reduced to the standing of a prep and the separation of departments would defeat its own purpose. As it stands now, the preps get bossed around, as they believe, more than is necessary. According to our system the collegiates let out anv superflous tensions on the preps who readily absorb them because of their lighter class schedule. No, it would defeat the purpose of the collegiate department to separate it from the preps. There is some need for a change, though. The frosh have al223

RED most unlimited privileges compared to wliat they had in many things in prep. They may slay up as long as they wish, they arc independent of any other collegiate and the only one to 'vh()m llicy are responsible in the dorm is the tutor. The tutor lias a pretty tougli job to do without being called upon to discipline every collegiate who is out of order. As it is, a frosh or soph resents being told when he is out of order. He will continue with his activity just to show the upperclassman that he is independent of any oilier collegiate. This makes for poor order. The preps take care of insubordination cry effectively among themselves. Why not have the same system for the collegiates? Let the seniors keep the frosh and sophs in check with the proper means for enforcement. This would help remedy the col legiate disturbance nuisance. The fact that there are so many collegiates in one dorm (coupled with the fact that there is no co-cducalion in the collegiate department) will lielp us to understand noise and practical and some impractical jokes arc a must for the release of tensions which the preps would otherwise be afflicted with. Rven on Hallowe’en there was no damage done although there 'vas a mess made which the collegiates readily cleaned up the following day. This dorm is one in which many types of students live rather successfully with one another. When one Ijccomes a frosh a manner of living is selected by the individual. He may decide to be “grease”，a middle-man or a lover of bull sessions. His choice will be respected and his friends wil naturally be of similiar inclination. But if, for some reason or other, a person who was a lover of bull fessions has decided to become a grease, the road will be difficult because he must see less of his lnill session friends. There is in our dorm a place for these types of students. If one collegiate decides that he has made the wrong choice for himself in his frosh year, he may change his stand but he need not try to upset our dorm system just to help him effect a change which he is too weak-willed to ac complish by himself.

A Voice That Charmed ■… # N FEBRUARY 8th we were privileged lo hear a rare voice and an outstanding artists. I specifically differentiate between the voice and the artist, since one often finds a beautiful voice and a poor artist. An artist must have not only a voice, which I confess is .the prime prerequisite, but also the ability to present it to an audience. This ability includes poise, an outward charm, and a marked degree of concentration which makes one rise above his or her pres ent surroundings, and project oneself into the atmosphere or setting of the song. All this the artist, Miss Marv Van Kirk, possessed to a marked degree. 224

RED It was before a full house that Miss Van Kirk appeared, a house which readily showed its appreciation for this appearance. For it was no ordinary concert engagement on the part of Miss Van Kirk. It easily showed the fortitude and artistic urge in the performer. As she came onto the stage, the audience saw a broken arm, which for ordinary people certainly would have meant a curtailment of activi ties This did not hinder Miss Van Kirk in any way from making the audience feel at ease. Miss Van Kirk presented a varied program, consisting of ,)1(1 arias and English folk-songs, negro spirituals, German lieder, and modern semi-classics. The artist showed especially fine form in her interpretation of “O don fatale” from Don Carlos by Verdi. “Wicgeiilicd” by Brahms was a piece especially enjoyed by the audience Tlie (|iuility of her voice, showering golden tones on the audience, never lessened. All her songs marched directly into the heart of the hearer, never hanging in mid-air. Two songs which created special moods were Think on Me” and Miss Van Kirk’s last encore, “Goodnight”，a Czechoslovakian Folk Song, especially arranged for her by her accompanist, Willard Sektherg. Mr. Scklbcrg presented two solo numbers during the course of the concert. They represented the height of classicism and the be ginning of a modern trend in music, namely an Intermezzo” by Brahms and the *'Prelude in A minor” by Debussy.

The ••nomads” quickly stuff a few garments into their carpet-bags and shove off for home. The more fortunate ones remain at the col lege and indulge in some good old-fashioned relaxation.

Biedenbender who has had contact with the important inside officials. * * * * Disgusting to say the least — just when a person has a winning liand in cards, the lights in the clubroom go out. Never seems to fail. Or else when there’s a swell radio program on, —Bango, no pro gram! Oh, I suppose there are a couple of mice gnawing on the wires or something like that, ’cause it shouldn’t be. Those who seek to please everyone, please nobody — Aesop. ❖ * 氺氺 Seems old Paul, the janitor and night fireman is getting fed up with the world and mankind in general. One cold winter night he had his car “safely” parked next to the Dean’s garage. Then a cab came along slowly making its way along the campus driveway. (You see, the roads were quite icy!) As the erring cab approached Paul's hot-rod to slither past it, the grinding tires lost their traction and the cab promptly said hello to Paul’s sedan. Result 一 well, Paul had a nice fender at one time.

The Varsity brought everyone in the Gymnasium to the edge of his seat with their stirring second half rally in which they wiped out an eleven point half-time deficit and went on to win by two points. The Saints liad little trouble in penetrating the Gosling defense in the first half and hit the hoop with consistency for a total of 32 points while the Black and Red could find the bucket no more than four times from the field but added thirteen charity tosses. After the intermission the Umnusmen came back strong and outscored the fast-fading Procopians 40-27. Forwards Kock, Bitter, ancl Winter led tlic second half onslaught with six, seven, and fifteen points respectively. Winter also led all scorers in the game with 17 points. Kasper and Ricliman of St. Procopius were not far behind with 15 apiece. BOX SCORE St. Procopius Northwestern Player Player s.

Northwestern 71 Extension In Red-Hot Victory Extension 98 With both teams throwing defense to the winds and conceiitrating entirely on offense, the amazing total of 169 points was scored in this contest. Northwestern^ 71 points, enough to win 95 percent of the games, was not enough to match the torrid output of the Extension five. After Extension scored 53 points in the first period, it looked as if they might hit the century mark, but when the final horn sounded they were still two points short. Rich Winter led Northwestern scorers with 27 points. High honors in the game, however, went to Beck, of Extension, with 29. The small, dark, Y.M.C.A. court proved to be very favorable for Extensionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style of play and the return engagement in the Northwestern Gym may be a different story. 231

Concordia Mil. 75 Old Rivals Top Goslings The Concordia Falcons, always very hard to beat on their home floor, took advantage of that fact and trounced Northwestern to the tune of 75-56. After the first quarter the outcome of the game was evident when “Casey” Jones and Co. began pouring it on. Nineteen times the Concordians hit from the floor in the first half and when they added ten free throws, they had a 48-25 half-time lead. The fighting Goslings came back to outscore their opponents in the sec ond half, but could not overcome the 23 point handicap. Kock and Winter rolled in 14 points apiece for Northwestern, while Jones of Concordia led all scorers with 17. This victory made it the third straight for the Milwaukeans over the Northwestern five in the past two seasons. BOX SCORE Northwestern Concordia Player FG FT F Pts. FG FT F Pts.

Win ter and Kock once more led the way for the home team with 1,7 and 15 points respectively, while Mabeck and Stelter were not far behind with 9 and 8.

RED bothered Milton during the first quarter but they soon solved the problem and began dumping in bucket after bucket with monotonous regularity. The half time score of 43-31 indicated that Milton might lop the all time high of 84 for a single game in the Northwestern gyninasiuni. However, the Varsity’s second half defensive play was good enough to limit their opponents to 38 points. Eddie Steltcr, who only recently joined the Varsity squad played his best game of the season snapping the cords for 18 points. He also proved to l)e a bearcat under the boards getting the majority of the Varsity rcbounds. Dick Boehm hit 19 for the victorious visitors. BOX SCORE Milton Northwestern FG FT F Pts.

ATTACK rn>hin^ in us from the northeast, They I lilting us liard when we expected it least. Tlicir fast-moving columns pierced our outside defense, Driving us numbc<l to our sheltered inner expanse. first wrested control of the skies, Their ai Moving across, driving ours out of sight. Then fate in the day their shock troops came ’cliuting down Followed in time by support on the ground. Their hordes moved on and in through the night Filtering in through each cracked defense, Hurling themselves heedlessly, bravely, Hissing their rage as they struck, Their vehicle whistling and roaring, Careless of terrible losses inflicted. With the first gray ot the morning they fled. Leaving their masses of dead where they’d fallen. Bv dawn General Sol was regrouping his forces And driving the foe from the skies overhead, While we, with orders and proper equipment, were out Removing dead snowflake soldiers. W. 235

RED WATCH THE BIRDIE! Did you ever consider watching a bird hop from branch to branch as an interesting pastime, as a hobby, or even in a way as a sport ? To me it is all of these. Those of us who spent their years as a Prep at Northwestern met this hobby first as an assignment in the Quinta Biology class. Perhaps because it is an assignment ,so few ever continue or again take up the hobby. Many of you will 110 doubt say that it sounds dull, that you want something that offers more interest and excitement. Though watching birds would ap parently have nothing to compare with bringing down a big bucU, pulling in a Muskie or a Northern, or rolling a 300 game, still one can describe the experience of spotting, recognizing, and watching ji rare bird only as very pleasant and exciting. Anyone who likes to be out-of-doors and loves nature can and will, I think, find this an en joyable pastime. Watching birds, or Circling as one enthusiastic bird lover of my acquaintance calls it, has several features which make it attractive to many people. Unlike most hobbies and sports, bird watcliini? requires no outlay of cash for equipment, nor a pile of progressively more expensive paraphernalia as your skill and interest increase. You don’t’liave to buy a license, you don’t have to pay yearly foes, there’s no closed season, and there’s no limit on the number of birds you can spot in a day. All you’ll need is a pocket-sized bird book, a note book and pencil, a pair of field glasses ( a low-priced, 3X or 4.x pair will do), and a pair of good eyes. Another advantage of this lionbv is the fact that it makes no demands on one's time. There is no fixed time when one must go out and watch birds, there is no minimum amount of practice necessary to “keep one’s eye”. You may spciul as much or as little time at it as von care to or are able to. A third advantage which this hobby possesses is extreme flexibility. It can be adapted easily to the amount of time, energy, and interest that one wishes to expend on it. One can follow several other interests at the same time in connection with it. Thus if you can spare little time you can watch the birds from vour window or on a walk down town. To attract a few more feathered friends one might then build a bird shelter and feeding station outside of one’s window. If one has time for a short walk in the country, it is possible to see and ob serve birds along the way. Some will find pleasure in learning to classify the diferent birds according to families and orders. Another will find greater interest in learning to identify the calls of the vanous birds. A person with an interest in photography will try his hand at getting shots of the birds, while still another person might attempt to draw one of them. While one may see quite a few species of birds on the campus or along the streets, if one wishes to see the rarer species, or a 236

R! greater number of birds it is advisable to go to some place where the birds gather for shelter or protection. In this area we are very fortunate in having two fine natural bird refuges within walking distance. One is the area of woods and swamps southeast of town along the abandoned inter-urban tracks. This area has been made into a state wild-life refuge. There one may see many of the smaller species of birds. Often one of two pairs of hawks also will be found nesting in the vicinity. However, since this refuge is located almost a mile out of town some may say that it is too far for them to be interested, bill I feel tliM. this offers an added inducement for me to go since it gives me the opportunity for a walk of an agreeable length, and since it thus is far enough away from town so that not. many people will go there. The other bird refuge in the vicinity is much closer. It is the island in tlic Rock River, just below the hill back of the college, which is known as Tivoli island. It lies a distance of two blocks from the cani])us, a distance almost every victim of the automobile a^e should be able to cover selfpropelled. This is without a doubt tlie best hinl refuge in the nrea. A number of features combine to make il an ideal home for the birds. Not many people visit the island. The liill to the west shelters it from the worst blasts of wind. The heavy stand of trees and the dense growth of brush on the island and the rast bank of the river provide excellent cover for birds. The dam just above the island produces a shallow, not too fast flowing stream i)do\v which provides the birds with drinking and bathing places. Occasionally it also attracts water fowl such as Herons and Rit terns. This is the ideal spot for seeing a great variety of birds. When is the best time to go out to observe the birds ? There are birds around at all limes of the year, but of course the number is much greater in spring and summer than in winter. Usually it is advisable for the beginner to start in late winter and early spring. Then he can become acquainted with the winter birds first and then gradually with the spring and summer birds as they arrive. Of course it is much more difficult to see a bird after the foliage of the trees is fully developed than when the tree is bare. In general you will have the most success in observing the birds when the weather is best. The birds are most apparent and most active when it is clear, calm, and warm. When it is dark, windy and cold the birds seek shelter and scarcely show themselves. One might also add that it is much easier to spot and correctly identify a bird under a clear sky, since there is generally more light and colors stand out more distinctly. The best time "of day to observe birds is about dawn and a little after. To many of you this will no doubt be a “hard saying” and you will not be able tb hear. But the effort involved in dragging： yourself out of bed at that unheard of hour will be richly repaid, I can assure vou. There is a practical reason for getting out at this 237

I'；-

ill

RED early hour. At dawn there usually is little or no wind, the birds are most active and musical then, and to some extent the (lew on the ground makes it possible to move about on the ground a little more quietly. But for me these considerations are minor in comparison with the aesthetic considerations. Leaving a darkened trail in llie dewy grass as one follows the brilliantly colored feathers as they flit from one tree to another on the background of the dark green and gray background of the arch of trees, the sun taking its first peeks at a fresh. new creation, the river playing an accompaniment for winged prima donnas in the trees — this is a rich, sense and soul satisfying experience whose equal no oilier hobby or sport can pro duce. One cannot help but feel that one is a little closer to the world which greeted Adam when he first opened his eyes. One could now perhaps enter a lengthy discussion on wlial lo look for and study, on what to note ancl list, but I leave tliat up tu the individual’s inclinations and preferences. If you desire informa tion on these subjects you may find it in the introductions of most bird books. Perhaps I might also add more arguments ancl induce ments for taking up this liobl)y，but it will, I think, suffice for me lo say that if you are at all sensitive and receptive to tlie language, moods, and beauties of nature you will fiml it most enjoyable. Then, the next time you’re in search of exercise or rccrealion, whv don't you go out and walch the birds. W.

WAS ATTENDING THE L. S. G. CONFERENCE WORTHWHILE ? No, this is not a reprint of an article hearing this samo title which appeared in last month’s Black and Red. The first article, written bv one of our delegates, gave the subjective view, and offered a rather favorable report on the conference. This is an attempt lo present a very brief objective view, a view held by at least one in terested observer. It seems to us that a conference, in order to be called successful, must accomplish something; something which is not only spiritually beneficial and emotionally stimulating to the delegate or delegates attending it, but which has at least some semblance of material value to the student body which these delegates are representing，Jtisl what has been the constructive influence or effect of this conference among us? An expenditure of seventy five dollars, even in these in flationary days, calls for more results than we have witnessed. It appears that this meeting would bear out the truth of the definition of a conference as being a group of individuals, who, being able to do nothing by themselves, come together and decide that something must be done. Are changes in relationshi'ijs of student to student, student 238

RED to faculty member, and student to the community brought about by large-scale programs or magic formulas proposed on the conference floor ? It is our opinion that these are matters pertaining to each Christian as an individual, be he student or instructor. Let each one set his own house in order. And as for student government, we needn’t waste our time casting about for some Utopian set-up. “We also have a more sure word of prophecy, whereunto ye do well that yo lake heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place.” If we will lnit live by the Word, our need for student government will be cut to the mininuini. We shall then be able to leave those problems to Hie secular colleges and universities to tear their hair and crack their heads over. Then indeed and then only shall we have true “life in the body of Clirist”，when each one of us answers the question of lhe Psalmist as the Holv Ghost gives him the answer, ^Wherewithal shall a young1 man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto accord ing to lliv word. NUMISMATICS (Coin Collecting) “Nuiiiisniatics，” according to the dictionary, is “the science of *nniK*y，\ "I'lKTeforo, a five dollar word for a coin collector is ^numismatist.’ just as ••philatelist” is a five dollar word for a stamp collec tor. One of the features of collecting coins is the knowledge it brings of many things. Unlike postage stamps, which are of a modern origin about ioo yearsof!-■ i, coins date back in one form or another listory. Coins tell a clear story of romance, almost to the dawn honor, power, patriotism, and sometimes, treachery, through the ages for all countries and races. Names which seem legendary and mythi cal are real and nearly alive when shown clearly on some old coin. Coins arc mentioned in the Bible, such as the widow’s mite, the trib ute coin of Caesar, and many others. Historic battles, sieges, and victories have all been depicted on ancient coins. Anthony and Cleo patra, Julius Caesar, Nero, Alexander the Great, the Popes, and other kings’ images were engraved on coins in ancient times. In our day, U. S. coins have the images of the following persons engraved upon them: Washington, Jeferson, Franklin, Lincoln and F.D.R. A bald eagle, a buffalo, an Indian, the Lady of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, and Monticello are some of the other images engraved upon our coins. There are many collectors of foreign coins who specialize in one of the many varieties. One of these interesting groups collects only foreign coins which have animals or birds depicted on them. The Irish Free State pigeons, Celebes rooster, Guatemala quetzal, aiid 239

RED the Abyssinian lion coins are always popular, and a whole zoo might be acquired. Still others collect queer forms of foreign and ancient money, such as cocoa-bean money of Mexico, brick-tea of Mongolia, large copper plates of Sweden, the oddly shaped coins of China, the ring and glass money of ancient Egypt, bullet money of Siam, sea shells, Wampum and so on. There is alniost an endless variety of odd and queer forms of money, since many materials and interesting objects, from beads (American Indians) to soap (Mexico), have been used as money at one time or another. Since every one of you uses U. S. coins almost every clay, 1 shall discuss them in more detail than the many foreign varieties. At this time the United States metal currency consists of cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars — which arc called minor coins — and silver dollars. Formerly, of course, we had the gold pieces, but they are not in use or being minted now. In addition to the above, half cents, two-cent pieces, three-cent pieces made of nickel, threecent pieces, half dimes, and twenty-cent pieces, made of silver have been used at various times. During the last few years there has been some discussion of minting a 2^4 cent and a 7^ cent piece, This would eliminate the great jump in the price of a cup of coffee and transportation fares and the like from five to ten cents to y]/2 cents instead. The United States Government did not mint coins until 1793. Before that time large manufacturers and plantation owners made their own trade dollars and paper money. Thus, as you can realize, there was great confusion. The government built mints to end this confusion. A mint is a place where coins are made. All U. S. coins prior to 1838 were minted at Philadelphia. At various times there were mints in operation in 7 other cities. These were at Charlotte, N. C., Dahlonega, Ga., Carson City, Nev., Denver, Colo., New Or leans, La., San Francisco, Calif., and Philadelphia, Penn. The first three mentioned are not in operation anymore. The mints at Char lotte, N. C. and Dahlonega, Ga. only minted gold coins. Each mint had its own mint mark to identify its coins. The mint at Philadelphia used a mint mark, which is a “p”，only on five-cent pieces from 1942 to 1945. Thus any coin without a mint mark or a *‘p” has been made at the Philadelphia mint. The mints at Carson City, Nev. and New Orleans, La. used the mint marks “cc” and “0” respectively. The mint at Denver, Colo, lias a ,,dM as a mint letter and Sail Fran cisco, Calif, uses an “s” as its mint mark. Many other letters such as “L”，“VDB”, “M”，“W”，“F”，and others appearing on certain coins are the initials of the designers and engravers of those coins. Most coins have the following two mottoes on them: “In God We Trust” and “E Pluribus Unum”. The last 240

RED motto is Latin, meaning “One out of Many” 一 in other words, one nation out of many states. Paper money is printed only at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, D. C. The denominations of U. S. paper money arc $1.00, $2.00，$5.00, $10, ?20, $50，$100，$500, $1000, 率5000, and ? 10,000 bills. Coin collecting is not only a pastime, but it may also become profitable. Some coins command a high price either at numismatic auctions or by sale directly to other numismatists. The value of a coin is determined by its scarcity, not by its age. Many times a coin with a more recent mintage date is more valuable than the same kind of coin minted 30 or 50 years before. A 1931 Lincoln cent is worth about 10 times more than an 1883 Indian Head cent to a numismatist because the first one is harder to obtain. For you readers, U. S. coins are the most interesting and easiest with which to start collecting. The Lincoln cent is the coin with whidi must nuniismatists have started and then gradually enlarged their collections to include all U. S. coins. A numismatist must al ways try to keep his coins in the best containers possible in order to be able to display them readily and, at the same time, to keep them in tlic best of condition. For an amateur numismatist, a coin folder or board is the most practical. These boards are furnished with a separate liole for each coin having a certain date and mint mark. These dates and mint marks plus the number of coins minted are printed below the holes. These boards are sold in nearly all station ery and department stores. A coin collector is never to clean old coins, as such cleaning is likely to ruin their value because it will leave minute scratches on the coins. Care should also be taken in handling prize coins. Never hold a coin flat in the palm of your hand, but grasp the coin between your thumb and index finger on the edge. A coin collector has to be a very patient person, waiting and looking every day for an op portunity to obtain a rather rare coin. Rare coins are few and far between. Once you have started collecting coins, you will have a large field to explore because of the many countries and different varieties of coins that are in existence today. Coin collecting is very interesting and once you have started, you will have to have strong will power or else financial difficulties before you are willing to refrain from practicing this hobby.

RED MID-SEMESTER'S NIGHT DREAM At last! The bell had finally rung ending the fourth and final class period of the morning. Recitations were over for another day. Recitations ? Yes, but not studying. At College one studies and keeps on studying, even though many disappointments tend to discourage the student. Once in the peaceful realms of his study room, the- younj? linguist dropped his weighty books on the nearest desk and sank into the blue, overstuffed lounging chair. Forgetting monK*ntarily hi^ worries, he emitted a long and deep sigh of relief. But then remembering his studies he thought of the work still to be completed for his classes on the morrow. Yet he knew the pathway to success lay in hours of tedious, tireless study and research. With this in mind, he wearily lifted himself out of the fortablc position in which he had been sitting and, picking up the first book he saw, went to his desk and sat clown. He opened the book and, half asleep, began translating Xylophone’s Anabasis. Cyrus was fighting, going southward on the left bank of the Euphrates. He had one purpose in pursuing his brother Arlaxcrxes, namely, revenge. He had caused the fatal heartbreak of their motliei.. Bui soon he would pay the price. Cyrus the Great would see to it. (The student continued, growing more drowsy.) He had almost cap tured him at Tarsus, but because of the wiles and treachery of a beautiful dancing girl, Salome, the evil brother had managed to cscape the clutches now drawing tighter about him. In the end Arliar<l. Inxerxes must die. So thought Cyrus and he piwed his Now Ihev were marching almost twelve parasangs a day. (The student sat back in his chair.) At times the pursuit seemed futilo, but just when it appeared most hopeless, a clue of the evil one’s whereabouts would turn up, sometimes from a hot tip by the locnl satrap, or else from a telltale object exposing the trail of the fugiti Once an animal provided the information. It was a horse with the brand of Artaxerxes on it. Evidently it had strayed from the main herd which the brother had plundered from the local inhabitants. The next day Cyrus sighted the murderer and his lusty band in the foothills surrounding the Taurus Mountain Range. Soon be, Cyrus the Great, would drink thirstily out of the cup of revenge. It was long after the setting of the sun. Soon it would be time to march up the hills and apprehend the brother and his band. Cyru men were to carry large torches and create a major disturbance as they rushed into the camp. Cyrus would enter his brother’s tent and slay him. The plan of safe return was worked out also, but Cyrus’ main objective was to kill the man who had been the objective of this long tiresome chase. 242

丨

RED (The student read more slowly.) Zero hour had come. The • men were almost at the camp. They watched the sentries who sus pected nothing as they surveyer the surrounding hills. One of the horses whinnied. A giuard moved over to investigate. Then he noticed that the guide wire which kept the horses tied bad been cut. Before lie could sound an alarm, a cold blade found its way home. The others, alarmed at his absence, summoned a few men together, and as they were preparing to enter what they thought might be small skirmish with local thieves Cyrus and his men swept into the camp. During the din of battle, he crept into Artaxerxes’ tent. The evil brother woke up in time to see Cyrus and feel the swift, sharp piercing of the knife as it nicked his left hand en route to his heart. At this niomcMit the student awoke, emitting a terrifying cry. A fellow student entered and teased him about making such a fuss over such a little scratch. The student looked at his left hand. Eviilently it had been cut by the knife which now lay on the floor. It had l)mi 011 his desk previously. I low could it have happened ? Anyway, it was a reminder never to fall asleep on the job.

^bitartal Time Marches On ...

jgpaHE LAST grains of sand are slowly trickling away as \vc come to the end of another volume of the Black and Red. The time has passed swiftly and changes have occurred. In the last year \vc have seen more changes take place at Northwestern than have ocÂ curred for many years. We now have a fine new floor in the gym and a large permanent stage. A new central heating plant heats our lmildings. We can travel from the dormitory to the gym without going outside, by means of the new tunnel. A spacious, well equipped club room has been provided for the Collegiates. And last but not least, our new recitation building is in the final stages of completion. June will see it ready for dedication and by that time no doubt many books will have been transferred to the spacious shelves of the new library. These are the main improvements at Northwestern. 244

RED Not only have there been these changes, but the Black and Red has also undergone changes. \\Te now have a 100% subscription among the students of Northwestern. The entire financial structure lias been reorganized in order to eliminate waste and unnecessarv expenses in putting out this paper. This is especially evident to the mail subscriber. No longer will subscriptions continue for a year after they have run out. Prompt payment is necessary. As of January 1, the advertising rates have been raised. These changes have resulted in this, that in spite of the rise in cost per page for printing the I .lack and Red, it is now the best off financially that it has been for a long time. Gradually you will find that this will result in bigger issues witli more pictures and new cuts. However, the material tliat appears in the Black and Red is still as much your concern as it is tin- concern of the staff. At this point I would like to express my appreciation to the mcmlKTs of the staff and to the surprisingly large number of coiltrihulors to the 15lack and Red for their co-operation in putting out ill is paper. At times as the deadline passed by it looked as though the pages niiglit be l)ai.e, hut you always came through in the end. IU*ttcr lute than never was an adage that I had to apply. I hope that the new editor and staff will continue to receive your support. The time has now come for the senior members of the staff to liow out. Perhaps it is high time. With mixed feelings we say goodby and in parting WL* wish the best of luck to the new staff. We have confidence in them. .May they ever hold the interest of their readers.

RED Rumor Is A Pipe .... n Rumor is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures, And of so easy and so plain a stop That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, The still-discordant wavering multitude, Can play upon it. Shakespeare, II Henry IV ^VllE WORDS of Shakespeare are still quoted today Ijecausc S* many of them still have meaning for us today. Yes, even for us who are students at Northwestern. Let us follow tlirough ihc school the journey of the pipe described by Shakespeare. One person plays the first note on the pipe by telling his friend a story that may be innocent enough at first. The pipe is passed along from mouth to mouth. Each one plays liis tune; each one as lie plays on this pipe may alter the tune somewliat, he may add some thing to it, or he may even take away from it. Generally, by Uk* time the pipe has finished its journey through the school, the story has become such, that if the person who is the subject of the pipe's malicious lay happens to come along, the pipe is quickly silenced and must retreat to the corners, where it continues its devilish work. And the result ? Sullied reputations, hurt feelings, animosity be tween students, and sin. For to play upon this pipe, that is, to spread malicious rumors is directly contrary to the command of our Savior, who in Matthew 18, 15 to 17 laid down the principles for all Chris tians to follow. If we clo hear a ‘‘rumor’’ about our brother that shows liim to be guilty of some misconduct isn’t it our duty jirst to go to him and admonish him ? And then if our fellow Christian tells us that he is not guilty of such misconduct and that the rumor luis no foundation, then again it is our duty to go to all who have spread l lie rumor and inform them that they are bearing false witness against their brother. In this way let us smash to pieces the pipe that has no place in our school, the pipe that is an instrument of the evil that is in us! R. P.

But they got more than they bargained for (at $.55 a piece!). Two mammoth-lunged reporting delegates got up ?nd spoke their pieces as if they were getting paid by the minute fand/or the word). I wouldn’t doubt but some of the students thought there was a filibuster going on. Shakespeare’s quote better be enlarged to read : “Brevity is the soul of wit — and of conference reporting.” 252

With all this talk in the sports world of today about the 110Wfamous basketball “fixes” out in the East, one starts to wonder. But in our intra-mural games you can be sure there are no “fixes,” not the way the cards stack uj)for the various teams. They’re out there fighting all the time with the result that every team beats each other and tlie season ends with a 4-way tie inter Frosh, Soph, Juniors and Seniors. So a play-off was necessary to determine who should be the ‘clianipeens’’ for the season. Fortunately, (I wonder if I’m preju diced!) tin? Juniors staged a fierce and desperate brand of BJ"». and they emerged from the play-off as the “T”-shirt-clad champions. *

Oli, but that basketball can be rough. One game left Ray Scluiltz (pronounced: Scluuuuiuutz!) with a m.*at shiner in the left eye. — Then there were the slugging and battling Seniors who went to Thiensville to engage the pugilistic “preachers” in a bonecrunchcr(-ing) game which turned out to be a p;，j?nia party in in formal dress. After a willy-nilly 1st half of “clean” and concentrated basketball, the Seminarians reentered the arena fit and dressed for the kill. Overalls, pajamas, suit.coats, bow-ties, caps, and what have you, donned the “crunching” preachers as they tried to subdue the powerful Seniors. Even the refs were put into action by going up for a jump-ball. The Mardi Gras tussle ended in a grand finale with both teams planting a total of 16 players on the floor. The Globe Trotters have nothing on these boys. — (The Seniors “'von’’.) 氺

Open For Enlistments Bob Hoenecke (brother to “Rosey,” the Milwaukeean Hoenecke) has reported that he has just recently enlisted in the Swiss Navy. They in turn have appointed him official recruiting officer for this district. Enlistments are now being accepted for a limited time only. Bob tells me that the living conditions in the Swiss Navy arc lops: wonderful food and plenty of it, clean and comfortable quar ters, pleasant officers, etc. The pay is rather high considering the short time spent on active “sea’’-duty.

RED If each class were to have its own class song, tliere’s only one song that would do for the Juniors, “Old McDonald Had A Farm. There’s scarcely a day going by when they don’t sound forth with a barrage of rural noises that could fool the smartest chicken, duck, ])ig, horse or cow.

The second half was a complete reversal when tlie Umnusmen began hitting with regularity and the MilwauÂ kee team cooled off considerably.

The Concordia Falcons, out to make it four in a row over North western. were turned hack by the sharp shooting Goslings. Rich Win ter put on one of the finest shooting exhibitions ever witnessed on llie Northwestern court when he sank fourteen field goals in 19 attcnij)ts for a phenomenal .737 shooting average. The Varsity went ahead early in the first quarter and was never headed thereafter. The half-time score was 29-22. In the second half the Concordians matched the home bovs almost basket for basket but were never able to close the gap which the Varsity had established in the first half.

The well-balanced Concordia aggrega tion, undefeated in conference play so far this season, was not to l)c denied, showing by their fine passing and shooting just why they 11 re on top of the conference. Although scoring a total of 92 points, narrv a player reached the 20 mark but five men hit for double digits, thus giving evidence of their balanced scoring punch.

Goslings Drop Final Game To Mil士on Milton 79 Northwestern 47 The Milton College Wildcats made it two in a row over North western by clowning the Black and Red 79-47 in their final tilt of the season. 丁he loss gave the \Tarsity a 2 won — 10 lost record in con ference play and a 5-13 overall record for the season. Rich Winter led the Gosling offensive throughout the year and closed the season with 321 points and an average of 17.8 per game. Dave Kock, Cap tain and forward, was number two with 9.5 points per game. Although not consistent point getters the rest of the team should be commended for their fiery style of play and their never-say-die atti tude. Dave Kock is the only member of the squad that will l)e lost through graduation. With nine returning lettermen Coach Umnus will have a solid nucleus around which to build his next years team.

iis outline softened by fleecy clouds and its sharp crags concealed by a blanket of soft, smooth snow. The hard realities of its rough, ice-coaied peaks and deep, treacherous crevasses are not visible so far away. When we get there we find the climbing ioriuous because we have not conditioned ourselves for it. Real success in life keeps pace with lhe march of our 40 earning years — from age 25 to 65. Success lies in living each stage of life without letting lhe irivial WANTS of today obscure the vital NEEDS of tomorrow. There is just one plan lhat insures the success of our whole journey 一 lhat plan is life insurance. A Lutheran Mutual Retire ment Income Policy will provide a fixed income at age 60 or 65 and insure lhe ultimate success of your life’s journey. Ask your local representative for information or write lhe home office.
