But to create such a federal shelter program, even figur ing at the modest sum of $40 per person, we would have to spend over $7,000,000, 000 to build shelters. In addition to this, all these shelters would have to be stocked with food, water, and oxygen. We would also have to have huge stockpiles of sup plies in some protected place to maintain us during the months following emergence

when we could not depend upon the earth for subsistence. A better solution to the nuclear threat would be to channel our efforts in another direction. We should try harder to achieve a workable world disarmament, and, in the meantime, to build a stronger deterrent force which would keep Russia from step ping too far. Russia won’t start a nuclear war unless she is certain she can win with k. s. out sacrificing too much.

Baebenat this event was deliver*:. roth. Some three hundred p * ; contributed to the building fund. At the head of the list of contributions was a $3000 gift by Mr. George Brumder. An additional $4000 was contributed later by his wife. Mr. Henry Schroeder donated $2000, as well as funds for the installation of a bowling alley. An other donation of $2000 came from Ferdi nand Kieckhefer, Mr. George Hawkins, Mr. William Kieckhefer, Mr. George P. Mayer, and Mr. C. Starke all gave evidence of their magnanimity with gifts of $1000 or more. The most beautiful and inspiring gift of all was that of St. Matthew’s congrega tion in Milwaukee. They commissioned a sculptor, Philip Lohr, to create the familiar “Sprinter”, which is so neatly positioned in front of the gym. This “Sprinter” is a symbol of our striving here at Northwestern and in later life. Just as he is resolutely and confidently set on the mark, so we want to run all our course through life.

There’s only one building on campus older than our gym, and we all know how antediluvian that one is. We can’t remem ber when our present gymnasium wasn’t an old landmark on our campus. It’s been quite a while since our gym was new in any sense of the word. But around one half century ago this athletic plant was spank ing new. Oct. 20, 1912, was the day of the dedi cation of our combination gym and audi torium. It was presented to Northwestern College by the Northwestern Club of Mil waukee, an organization which consisted of former students of Northwestern Col lege residing in the Milwaukee area. This was a closely knit group, unified by their common love for their old Alma Mater. Although they were only founded in 1907, they had already been instrumental in instituting a “Northwestern Day”, and in arranging concert trips to Milwaukee for students. But these men were so grate ful to their beloved school for the invalu able training they received in the Word of God that they wanted to express their ap preciation with some lasting token of their good will. They were well aware that the school needed a gymnasium very much, and they were also conscious of the expense involved, which amounted to around $30, 000, no mean sum in the early 1900’s. Their resolve, however, was motivated by a very ardent love for the school, and they were determined to erect the much needed struc ture. Their success was due both to their 2

resolutely following the will of God, and confidently preaching his Gospel. The day of dedication, Oct. 12, 1912, was both a perfect day climatically, and a momentous day historically. The gala occasion was the reason for the display of numerous black and red flags on the build ings. In the midst of these festive sur roundings, the Northwestern Club members marched from President August F. Ernst’s house to the gym in order to perform the dedicatory exercises. After the statue of the “Sprinter” had been unveiled, a speech of presentation was given by the president of St. Matthews congregation, Mr. William Hermann. As is customary on such occa sions, there were quite a few addresses. August C. Bendler, Emmanuel A. Wurster, Chairman of the Building Committee; G. Bergcmann, President of the Wisconsin Synod; and August !\ Ernst, President of Northwestern CoV< .ill delivered speech es prior to the at ' dedication.

What cause day to be so firmly fixed in the men k friends of Northwestern College i event that is unique in the history of e. .• ollege. Never before had this happened, and never since has our our school received a communication from the Chief Executive. Try to imagine how thrilled we would be to get a telegram from John F. Kennedy, and you will get an idea of the graphic impression the telegram from William Howard Taft created. It read as follows:

“Executive Office Beverly, Mass., Oct. 20, 1912 “To the Rev. August F. Ernst, President of Northwestern College, Watertown, Wis. “1 congratulate you and your associates on the occasion of the dedication of the gymnasium of Northwestern College. From my boyhood I have been on terms of inti macy with men of your church; for in my home town more than one-third of our people are Germans, a great majority of whom are Lutherans. I can not too highly commend their sturdy character and reli ance for the great part they have taken in our civilization. Those whom I knew best were the leaders of those Germans who went into the civil war to uphold the union, vindicate freedom, and eradicate slavery. I understand that your college strives for religion, liberal education, and good health. I wish you every success and feel sure that your efforts will be for the good of the church, the people of the church, and the country. William Howard Taft.” The dimensions of our gymnasium are 112 feet by 72 feet. In this area we have a combination basketball floor, athletic cen ter, and assembly hall. Fifty years ago our gym was very well suited to accomodate the needs of the school, but take a good look at the situation now. It’s not too hard to perceive that our gym is outmoded and inadequate today. Instead of merely wish ing we had a new gym, let’s get moving and see that we get one. We are just as richly blessed as the people who built this gym fifty years ago. But how thankful are h. w. we for our school?

WHEN THE JUNIORS HEAD WEST X...1...2... A few people may have looked on with amazement, but most of the students, jubilantly turned loose for Easter vacation, realized what the three, or should I say two and a half, cars were doing waiting eagerly in front of the college

dorm with these numbers taped on their sides on the Friday noon when vacation started. This was the beginning of a long awaited trip by eleven members of the Junior class to the fair state of Arizona, The leader of this venture was Bill Meier,

; ••

...

whose father is the superintendent of the Apache Mission school near Whiteriver, Arizona. His bug (that means Volkswagen) was all shined up with & taped on its side (You can hardly call it a whole car. It doesn’t bum enough gas.) and “GO!” smeared across the back. Following Bill was Harr)' Sturm in his Plymouth, and Rich Ollmann, the twelfth member of the group, one of Harry’s friends from Wausau, brought up the rear in his Oldsmobile. Not too many people gathered to see the convoy off, for the beginning of choir tour and the thought of going home after ten straight weeks of school filled most students’ minds. One solid rooter we did have, however; and that was Prof. Schroeder, whose son, Kent, made the trip with us. With him waving us on, we happily started our 1,800 mile jaunt to the other end of the country. The long trip was uneventful, but well planned. Friday evening, just in time for supper, we arrived in Sanborn, Minnesota, where Bill Goehring and Steve Stern, two fellow travelers, live. After delicious meals with six of the gang at the Goehrings and six at die Sterns, we headed south. By changing drivers and driving all night, we found ourselves at breakfast time in Grand Island, Nebraska, the home of Larry Cross, another of the twelve. So with the aid of day and night driving, homes of classmates placed along die route around mealtime, and gas wars in Kansas and Nebraska, our goal was reached cheaply and quickly (quickly being 4:30 Palm Sunday morning). One of the first of many experiences oc curred that morning when our group was able to attend Palm Sunday services in the Apache Mission chapel. All the worship pers, except for a few white teachers and their families, were Indians. To us from northern congregations it was a real change. The men were for die most part dressed in western style shirts and blue jeans, while the women wore long Indian-style dresses, which were very colorful. The church seating several hundred, although it was built entirely by members of the congrega tion, was surprisingly professional looking. Any congregation would have been proud

to worship the Lord before the beautiful altar in this building. The rest of the day was spent climbing around in the hills sur rounding the mission, and in trying to get used to the warm temperatures of around 85 degrees after a beastly cold winter in Wisconsin. This was one adjustment we didn’t mind making. On Monday everybody was raring to go again, and we headed out toward the Grand Canyon, fortified with sandwiches which Mrs. Meier had prepared and with supplies that we hoped were sufficient for several nights of camping out. I don’t think anybody quite expected the sight that con fronted us upon arriving at the canyon. No body realized a hole could be so wide and so deep. From the first look-out point on, cameras clicked constantly, although pic tures and words couldn’t describe the grandeur of the scene. \Ye all stared in awed silence, and if it had; n for Bill ! om one Meier’s constant proddii j ably still viewing point to another, moved would be at the first one. ' util rim along the highway west o often at of the canyon, stopping : always different points where seemed more spectacular 0. one before. One-thousand foot di;ls . ;.i moun tains seemed like ant-hills in ilv mile deep gorge. We started on the 31 mile trail to the bottom of the canyon, but had to stop because of the approaching sunset. After going about a mile down the trail, we seem ed far below the rim, but upon viewing the scene from another point, we could see that our “deep” descent had been only about 1/60 of the total depth of the canyon. After several hours of viewing, we made our way to the camping grounds for our first night of sacking out under the stars. . The beans and spam acquired a special flavor, cooking over our excellently made campfire, and although such trifles as a stir ring spoon and can opener were forgotten, the experienced woodsmen got along with such implements as were on hand. A tree branch ended up stirring the beans, and an opener borrowed from a nearby group helped us out of difficult)'. Sunrise the next morning brought even

such habitual sleepers as Steve Stern to their feet in a hurry. By 6:30 the sun had everybody out of their sleeping bags and on the move. Nobody wanted to cook our breakfast, so left-over sandwiches had to do. We got back to the canyon as quickly as possible, for we soon would have to leave this wonder of nature. Now the route led us eastward along the rim, and finally ended in a replica of an old Indian tower perched on the rim of the canyon. Here for a quarter you could go to the top and view the scenery through powerful binocu lars. They brought the big rapids of the mighty Colorado up close and gave us an idea of just how far down this seemingly small stream really was. Time, however, caught up with us, and we reluctantly were forced to leave and head for other sights, although (In canyon could easily have filled our whole week. Tuesday’s traveling took us south to Phoenix with a si ion ii to Montezuma’s castle on the \va\ 1 the castle we were informed that it neither a castle nor was Montezuma (here, but it was 'ring around 1200 built by cliff d\. A. D. The way i ms could build a large five-story sne • witli twenty rooms in a cavern of a . •lone cliff which was one hundred feet ori .i-e ground was abso lutely amazing. In some places the point where the building ended and the cliff started couldn’t even be seen. We decided to press on quickly, how ever, for we now were at low altitudes and it was quite hot. So late afternoon found us in Phoenix, the capital and largest city of Arizona. We, as Northerners certainly seemed out of place among all the deeplytanned people of Phoenix. Instead of ave nues lined with elm trees, rows of palms stretched out along the wide streets. We saw miles of new homes, many of which had a backyard swimming pool and semitropical plants in the front yard. At night under the guidance of Bill’s sister, who is in nurses’ training in Phoenix, we saw many large and luxurious motels built one next to another to take care of the winter tourist trade. Each was complete with pool, palms, and the warm Arizona air. Before

we left, we took a trip of seven miles to South Mountain and viewed the city by night. The sprawling layout of lights, steady and blinking, added to our already favorable impression of this fabulous com munity. The next day it was “Mexico or bust.” We did just about both. After each of us changed 20 dollars to 248 pesos and got our tourist passes at Nogales, we began the long drive through Mexico, trying to avoid cattle and burros standing on the road. Our destination was Guaymas on the Gulf of California, and after we had gone through 265 miles of Mexican desert, passed five Mexican custom stations where everybody wanted tips, and left several confused gas station attendants at stations where gas is sold by the liter for pesos, we hit the beach in this resort town. Swimming in the ocean occupied most of the time left that night and the next morning. Swimming in salt water was fun for us fresh water boys, but it taught us to keep our mouths shut or drink down the most highly seasoned water we had ever tasted. Before heading back in the afternoon, most of the fellows went to town and bartered in broken Spanish and English for Mexican souvenirs. Our excursion through Mexico was great fun, but with everybody loaded down with trinkets, tequila, and leftover pesos, we were glad to see Old Glory again and hear some English spoken on the streets. No more cattle on the roads, good pure water, and no families with fifteen children living in huts or old railroad cars! By Friday we could see the end of our sight-seeing tour and so were determined to enjoy every minute we had left of it. We passed Superstition Mountain, where the mysterious Lost Dutchman’s Mine is supposed to be located, and could almost picture the old prospector with his burro climbing around amid the jagged peaks, headed for his fabulous find. The Apache Trail, which is a winding mountainous road with a high cliff on one side and a sheer drop on the other, took us around these mountains to the Roosevelt Dam far up a branch of the Salt River Canyon. The huge dam built in 1911 impressed all of us,

n ! ■

! : :

but what everybody probably remembers the best was die help we gave a poor lady in distress. We met her on a narrow turn in the road. She was afraid to drive around us, and for good reasons too, for the drop on her side was several hundred feet. Bill Meier offered to drive her around us and ended up with one front wheel over the side. She was so scared that, when1 through a juggling around of the cars she did manage to get past us, she turned around in a wide stretch of the road and headed back home, thoroughly unnerved by our mountain driving. After viewing the dam, cooling off and washing away the dirt of four days and nights under the blue sky was uppermost in our minds. A beautiful canyon lake near the beginning of the trail served the purpose, and after roughing it for so long, we began to look halfway civilized again, Friday night, after a scenic trip through Salt River Canyon at sunset, we came back to the mission tanned and tired. Saturday we tried to recuperate from all our running around and began to realize that we must leave the next day after having just arrived a week before. On Easter Sunday we once again visited the mission church. Little tilings that might not happen in other churches struck us. Two children were baptized, only one of them, carried by his mother, didn’t arrive until halfway through the ceremony. In one motion Pastor Hartzell beckoned them to the front and turn-

ed the page, never stopping his reading, During the sermon the crying of children and low whispers got louder and louder until finally, while making a point, Pastor Hartzell slammed his hand on the pulpit, and everything once again was quiet. Sunday noon Mrs. Meier fed our whole clan for the last time. Imagine twelve hungry young men living in the fresh air eating eight meals at your house: 3 breakfasts, 3 dinners, and 2 suppers. Anyone of us who had forgotten how to dry dishes quickly relearned as K. P. duty fell to three of the group every meal, a small task for the wonderful ham, turkey, and pinto bean with fried bread (Indian style) dinners she served us. The long trip back added the final 1,800 miles to the 5,900 we traveled altogether. After again having stopped at each of our fellow-classmates’ homes on >. way, the familiar scenery around N< • uve stern and Watertown again met our oy : st as the sun was coming over the ha. • on Tuesday morning at 5:30 AM. time we . ur’s sleep got to bed it was 6:00, ami had to hold us the ne.\« The tired feeling was worth it, ho . Wer before, and for some of u ps never again, will we cover so much . ; and and see so much scenery in such, a short time, You can bet that in many a bull session of the years to come this trip and all of its fun will be relived in the memories of the Adventurous Twelve, j. w.

ANNUAL MEETING OF ALUMNI SOCIETY The Northwestern College Alumni Society held its annual meeting in the college gymnasium the afternoon of June 7, 1961. In the absence of the presi dent of tihe society, Prof. W. A. Schumann, the first vice-president, Pastor R. Siegler presided. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Forty-five members responded to the roll call. Upon the recommendation of Pres. Carleton Toppe, the thirty-one members of die graduating class of 1961 were admitted into membership. 6

The treasurer of the society, Prof. Theo. Binhammer, submitted the fol lowing report: NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE ALUMNI SOCIETY Report of Income and Expenses From June 8, 1960 to June 7, 1961 Income: Dues and Donations for 1960-61 .$934.48 Interest .......................................... 4.23 Total Income $938.71 Expenses: Mailing Costs . 46.20 Black and Red 20.00 Total Expenses .. 66.20 Income over Expenses .. 872.51 Cash Account Balance, June 8, 1960 909.20 From Income 938.71 Total cash to be accounted for $1,847.91 Disbursenu 66.20 Fxpenses 66.20 Total Disbursements .................... 1,781.71 Balance .............................. 1,000.00 Less Certificate of Deposit $ 781.71 Balance in Bank ............. The eh;. iii ippointed an auditing committee composed of Pastor E. Zehms, Pastoi gler, and Prof. G. Franzmann. Dr. R. a\z. reporting for the nominating committee, moved that the rules be susp ! and that the secretary be instructed to cast an unanimous ballot for the incumbent officers. The motion was seconded and passed. Re elected were: Prof. W. A. Schumann, president; Pastor R. Siegler, first vicepresident; Prof. E. A. Wendland, second vice-president; Pastor H. Peter, secre tary; Prof. T. Binhammer, treasurer; and Prof. R. Sievert, mailing secretary. The names of the following alumni whose deaths occurred during the past year were read by the chronicler, Prof. E. Scharf; The Rev. John Plocher, '90; The Rev. Edgar Guenther, ’OS; The Rev. Wm. Lutz, TO; Mr. Herbert Koch, ’ll; Mr. Otto Toepel, T2; The Rev. Orval Kreie, ’32. The society honored their memory by rising. Dr. E. E. Kiessling reported for the centennial committee. In his intro ductory remarks. Dr. Kiessling noted that the one hundredth anniversary of Dr. Ott’s birth would occur next January and that a bronze plaque, purchased from funds provided by Dr. Geo. W. H. Shield, honoring Dr. Ott had been placed in the library building. Dr. Kiessling presented the findings of the com mittee in regard to four centennial projects which had previously been suggest ed to the society: (1) a history of the college — Prof. E. E. Kowalke is now working on such a history — approximate cost would be $10,000 for 1000 copies; (2) the translation of some Lutheran classic into English — this project is no longer being considered; (3) a language laboratory for the college — this pro ject would require an expenditure of $15,000 plus additional room which the 7

college does not have; (4) a Luther statute for the campus — estimated at $5,000 by a Milwaukee sculptor. Dr. R. Gehrke suggested that the minutes of the Alumni Society be in cluded in the newsletter. Prof. H. Oswald’s motion that the newsletter includ ing the minutes of the Society be printed instead of mimeographed was ac cepted by -the assembly. According to Prof. Oswald the new organ may be installed in the college chapel by next Easter. The status of the organ fund is as follows: total funds collected - $22,553.78; down payment - $2,275.50; balance as of June 1 - $20, 278.28. Some $2,000 will still be needed to complete this project. The report of the treasurer, having been examined by the auditing com mittee and attested as correct, was adopted. Luncheon committee members, Prof. D. Rohda, Prof. II. C. Oswald and Pastor K. Timmel, asked to be relieved of their duties after twenty-one years of service. Their resignations were reluctantly accepted. Prof. R. Sievert will continue to serve on this committee. The president of the society was directed to fill the vacancies on the committee by appoinment. II. Peter, secretary Adjournment at 4:00 P. M.

SPRING TOUR, '62 Contrary to the laws of physical endur ance, forty young men returned late Mon day, the 23rd of April, fresh from the haunts of a well-known local establishment. Scarcely a soul could have believed this was the end of a ten day bus trip covering five Midwestern states or that it had all be gun on Friday the Thirteenth, — anyway, not from the bright faces, lively speech, and good spirits. To those who knew that this was the end of the Northwestern Col lege Male Chorus Spring Tour for ’62 it was evident that everything had gone A— OK, both on and off the risers. The venerable James Diener turned in the academic spurs which he had so nobly won as head of the tour's “Department of Higher Education” to open a souvenir shop in Room 232 - East lJall. Public auction was set for Mono. ., the 30th. Among the are-, s offered for sale was a black and whit;!. )graph, very ques tionably listed . i:he pin-ups. Where from? Rhinelamk . first stop. As over night guests of lt theran, the choir had their first 1 >1 Wisconsin Synod hospitality. Ne.v ! although the guide seemed quite inie:-. >teJ in his own private nicknack, a “grinder”, the chorus enjoyed seeing how all sorts v)f small notions are made at Marfax, a plant owned by a mem ber of the congregation. Moving on to Bloomer, Wisconsin, for a Saturday engagement, as at every stop on the tour, the group held its business meeting after the post-concert luncheon. If it hadn’t been for that night’s MC, Ted Olsen, St. John’s of Hastings, Minnesota, the next stop, may never have appreciated the fine voices of those boys at the corner table. It finally broke up, and Sunday’s three concerts featured nine definitely im proved voices. Oh, how touching “The Halls of Ivy” can be to some girls! At St. Paul, Minnesota, the country boys went ga-ga over the Minnesota sky scrapers, while the less emotional sipped cool root beer floats. That night, looking their best for Rev. Lenz’ movie camera and 9

singing their best for Mt. Olive Congrega tion, the tour began to shape up in grand style. Special officers took their places be side President Doug Bode. David Sfegler was named “Chief Sanitary Engineer”, Rod Luebchow was elevated to the post of “Man in Charge of the Windex,” and Carl Otto was made-------- well------ well, you know! Rechristened by someone’s skillful use of masking tape as a member of the “Groundhog Line,” the bus floored it against the stiff northeast Dakota wind and sneaked past the ever watchful Dakota State Patrol to meet its appointment in Watertown. Signs here and there along the road set the maximum weight limit at seven tons, and since an ugly rumor was spreading that the “Groundhog” weighed closer to sixteen, the bulk of South Dakota was judiciously avoided on the way to Nor folk, Nebraska. Upon arrival there, much to the delight of thirty-three upper classmen, the seven lowly Frosh once again set up the risers. But it was the last time for quite a while. When passing into Iowa on the way to St. James, Minnesota, no one offered to cough up money for a tax on gasoline and liquor. Everybody seemed to have had better things to do at the time. By now it was a known fact that Wayne Schneider and Gary Schroeder forgot to bring along some of the bare essentials. It was also a known fact that other articles of clothing kept turning up late without their owners. So Doug Bode and John Hennig saw to it that the foundation for a new wardrobe was procured. Joel Prange, bless his heart, even consented to put on a fashion show in the bus. On route from St. James to Fairfax on Maundy Thursday the .chorus stopped at Bethany College, Mankato. At long last Wally Goers and Verne Voss got their chance to pound away at the piano. The choir also stopped in New Ulm to spend some time on the campus of our sister school, Dr. Martin Luther College. Beau ti

On Good Friday the Male Chorus gave two concerts, one in the morning which was also broadcast over KAGE in Winona, another at Caledonia in the evening.

A cool glass of cheer greeted each student as he started the tour. A cool glass of cheer greeted each student as he ended die tour. Then the Glee Club sang five numbers in apprecia tion. Cheer! Cheer! Cheer! Cheer! Cheer! zzz-z-z-z. At Wisconsin Rapids Herb Fil ter did the after dinner honors, and Mr. Lynn Schroeder was quite unabashedly in troduced to Miss Lynn Schroeder. Easter began with services at Bethany, Appleton. For the second time the choir’s voice was carried over the air waves. An

afternoon concert was held at Brillion, but it wasn’t until evening in Two Rivers that die whole tour reached its high point. An overflow crowd was on hand to hear the chorus give its best concert of the tour, — — which, of course, was ample reason to celebrate. Between them, Wayne Schnei der and Lyle Sonntag put up half the chor us as overnight guests. But one day now remained and it be longed to the bus driver, Mr. Bob Hamers ley of Madison. Early Monday he scraped the “Groundhog” through a mighty narrow gate at the Kohler Company just so the boys could view a parade of red-hot bath tubs. Later, after the concluding concert in Beaver Dam, Mr. Hamersley acted as luncheon toastmaster and gave his personal rendition of “Popeye, the Sailor Man.” Prof. Diener saw to it that this effort did not escape the eagle eyes of his by-now well-trained scholars.

advantage of a new batting cage this year. Rumors are that it will boost all the batting averages fifty points. The Juniors and Sophomores were recent ly given the opportunity to select their courses for next year. For many of the Sophomores it was a unique experience. Because the two classes are transitional classes, neither fully in the new curriculum nor fully in the old, and because of the newness of the system, there are a few bugs in the set-up. But with com petent faculty aid, especially by Professor Sievert, things are falling into line and every one is lining up enough work to keep him busy. According to Don Frisque, a folk singer fans’ folk singer fan, the audience at the Mil waukee appearance of the Limelighters was made up of some twenty-one Northwestern students. This comes to about one-fiftieth of the total crowd.

Several weeks ago tests were taken by all members of the Sexta, Quarta, Freshman, Junior, and Remedial classes. The tests were given by the study group from the University of Minnesota which has been contracted by our synod to make a complete study of the Wisconsin Synod school system. Part of the testing was a questionaire asking the student’s personal feeling on a wide range of subjects dealing with his school life. The Male Chorus has put its 1962 Easter Tour music on a record. The recording en titled A Sacred Concert by the "Northwestern College Male Chorus is now being sold. Bill Gabb is in charge of sales.

fcampuA QboLAAJwom “Go ahead, and take it there”

It is only fitting at tills most auspicious time to bid farewell to the past C & C writer, Tommy Frans man. Issue after is sue he maintained a censor-approved, high vein of humor. This is not always funny. However, Tom is still quite a fellow, He has become a legend and an institution down at the A & P (Alehouse & Poolhall) where he has 'been employed for the past five years. Tom used to be a ladies man, that is until Vicki Doogan turned her back on him. He was naturally very much affected by the event. But now that he has recovered from the experience, he is a much better man for it. Having come to Northwestern from M.L.S. (Misguided Lunar Shot), Tom has spent four happy years here off campus with the rest of the Senior Clods. Obtaining thoughts for this column might be compared to an organist’s strik ing many chords in an attempt to get ideas. The end results of the two will probably be the same — lots of noise. By now you are all aware of the fact that there is an interesting little event which takes place every year on the year over at Mequon, “alias Thiensville”. This little event is called initiation. Much se crecy always surrounds it. The to-be-initi ated Senior class is always too frightened to speak about it, and the Seminarians too embarassed. After all, grown men playing trick or treat! Well, anyway. Penalties of varying de grees are imposed, depending on whether or not the individual Senior was good or bad. One such penalty might be a ban on indoor comfort stations. Another penalty is the accumulated hate ban, now known as the Spiegelberg Special. All these festivities must, as all good little things, come to an end. Initiation terminates finally one day in what is called

“Gemuetlicher Abendtrunk . But enough of this. It is better to discuss other things which will not bring reprisals to one under graduate student, Na ja, Kinder. And how did you enjoy Arbor Day? If you were wondering why such a poor day was picked for it, well, on that day the Juniors had six classes (including Latin, Greek and Hebrew). Actually the faculty had little to say about it at all. It was a student plot to push it through before Easter, so that the weather would be too cold at night to have any sort of entertainment, Na ja, Kinder. And what did you think about Verne Voss’s fine group of German marches? And what about that fine bly, \e([ james Babler, which d-d the marching? The student body could have done better, however, than to threw just pennies. Na ja, Kinder. What would happen if the faculty should learn that the students do nothing on Arbor Day, and that it only amounts to a day off? I suppose it would be similar to the students’ reaction if they should learn that Saturday classes are not an absolute necessity. Oh, I hope not. The Sophomores did their little bit also on tree day. They planted some scrub shrubs down on the back forty. The bushes are called “inutiles herbae spinaeque”. i They will serve as a windbreak for Mr. Bilse’s clothes lines and as a nesting place for Profesor Kowalke’s rabbits.

share of the afternoon to write it. plus it interfered with the bowling tournament. But we must advance. One of the dreams of every college stu dent is to go to Fort Lauderdale. But that was not the dream of twelve eager Juniors. Immediately after classes ended for the Easter break, these Juniors headed for the province of Ariona. Making it their base of operation, they visited Tiajuana, Mexico, and Reno, Nevada. Oh green, green, green with envy. They brought back hundreds of souvenirs, some in boxes, some in blankets, some in bags, and some in jars. Auctions will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Bring your own containers. The general instructions for the trip were typed and mimeographed by the wagonmaster, driver of car &, and handed to the pioneers. They read as follows: 1. I am the chief. 2. Take a good supply of money. 3. One persoT* ;.o a toothbrush. 4. Don’t star die natives.2 5. We’ll lea promptly sometime to morrow. 6. Everyone have a passport and Hebrew book. 7.

But often they lack a guide or a director)' to good books. Here are just a few of the new titles out for the month of May. “The New McGuffey Reader,” edited by Steven Sterny, deals with the moral and social problems of the day. The plot centers around the local school board and its struggle with the teachers in an attempt to ban certain smutty literature from the library. The Supreme Court however, intercedes and thoroughly con fuses the situation. •i — This is in reference to die trek through the wastelands of Michigan. 13

“Sigmund Freud For Children From 6 To 10” is another of the controversial best sellers. Roger Doll is the author. This book is a light take-off on the foibles and every-day reactions to little household problems. “The Events of 24 Years in the White House with the Brothers John, Robert, and Theodore Kennedy”, was written by that new star on the literary horizon, William Mirror. It handles the years of crisis (1960-1984), during which time the Kennedy dynasty was leader of Troop 1776. It was quite a failure — the book I mean. There was little or no organiza tion in it, and it lacked any real purpose — the book I mean.

Spo/dtA Bowlers Participate in Post-Season Tournament

Upset Ends Bowling Season An upset ended the eighteen week bowl ing season of the NWC bowling league. The Green Bowl team, consisting of Juniors, Harold Sturm, Dan Pautz, Art Valerio, Ken Gawrisch, and team captain Herb Winterstein, the league’s defending champions, had taken over first place at the start of the season. About mid-season A1 Rippe’s, the team consisting of Dick Giese, Richard Anderson, John Sehmugge, Fred Fedke, and team captain Bill Ziebell, moved into the top position and precariously held the top spot until the very last bowling day, April 5, when they were clinging to a 1}A game lead over the second place Green Bowl team.

Thirty-six members of the NWC bowl ing league, who had bowled at least 9 regular games, participated in a post-season bowling tournament on April 12, at the Bowl-a-Fun lanes, the league’s regular bowling headquarters. It was a handicap doubles tournament based on a 200 aver age. A total of $50 in cash prizes was collec ted from team sponsors and from the 75c entry fees. In addition to these prizes, Watertown merchants contributed various merchandise prizes. Top prizes were won by the following: Diersen and Fedke 1293 total 510.00 ea. 7.50 Gawrisch and Valerio 1272 5.00 1234 Falck and Schneider Goeglein and Lawrenz 1234 1219 Lauber and Schewe Rochl and Valleskey 1219 1200 Sehmugge and Engel

Improvement Noted in Baseball Team Interest in baseball at NWC has in creased somewhat since last year. Twentyfour collegiates showed up for the practice sessions as compared with only fourteen last year. According to Coach Ed Pieper, the team is definitely improved over last year’s team which went the entire season without a victory. However, the team is still by no means a terrific ball club. A great deal of the Trojan’s success will depend on the pitching of Lyle Sonntag, who will hurl his first season of collegiate baseball this spring. The team practices daily for about two hours, but had only five days of practice, and even these were interrupted by the Easter recess, before it played Ripon on April 26. Meanwhile other teams went all out and had thorough spring training ses sions. The Lakeland team, for example, spent their Easter vacation practicing base-

ball in Kentucky. This, togedier with the fact that all the teams in the league had already played at least one game before the Trojans opened the season at Ripon, has given the NWC team a disadvantage at the start of the season. Ripon is expected to be no stronger dian last year; Milton will be a tough team, and its pitching hard to match.

Despite the defeat, the Trojans didn’t look too bad in the batter’s box consider ing their limited practice and the fact dial Ripon had already played “3” games. The Trojans outhit the Redmen 11-9. Top bat ters for the Trojans were Lynn Schroeder with 3 for 4; A1 Just, 2 for 4; and Bill Gabb 2 for 4, a home run and a triple. The totals for the game: NWC had 6 runs, 11 hits, 6 errors; Ripon had 10 runs, 9 hits, and 2 errors.

Coach Pieper declined to make a pre diction concerning the Trojans and the final standings, but he promised they would show up for each game unless it rains. “We’ll have fun — that’s about all,” Pieper added. “But if the new uniforms help any, we’ll knock ’em all dead.” The team’s new uniforms are about the sharpest in the league.

After the game, the team enjoyed a steak dinner by candlelight in the Ripon College cafeteria. Seniors Dominate Tennis Squad Starting May 2, the NWC tennis team will take part in “9” tennis matches and a tournament in 25 days. This year the squad has four strong, equally-matched men in the top four positions. They are T. Henning, T. Spiegelberg, W. Oelhafen, and R. iiristman, each of whom played for the T.ojans last year. Although the team will be hin dered by the fact that Gary Schroec last year’s number one man, will not be playing this spring, the steadiness of these four, three of whom are Seniors, should prove a definite threat to each of the opposing teams.

The team roster will consist of the fol lowing: pitchers: W. Balza, L. Sonntag, R. Scharf, and L. Schroeder; catchers: A. Just and W. Gabb; L. Schroeder will play first base when he is not pitching; K. Gurgel, second base; Joel Prange, shortstop. W. Gabb will be at third base when he is not catching. The outfield will be manned by K. Schroeder in left, T. Zarling in center, K. Roehl in right, and A. Valerio will be used as needed in either left or right field. The utility infielders are V. Tassler, R. Semro, M. Hallemeyer, R. Tisch, and O. Lindholm; the utility outfielders are E. Opsahl and A. Siggelkow. * i

At the time of this writing, the 5 and 6 positions are held by M. Wagenknecht and S. Valleskey respectively. Wagenknecht saw action last year, while Valleskey is a new-comer to the squad.

Ten Run Barrage Beats Trojans The Redmen of Ripon College scored nine runs, six of them unearned, in the first two innings to defeat the baseball Tro jans 10-6 in the season opener at Ripon on April 26. Ripon was aided by six NWC errrors. Bill Balza started on the mound for -thq Trojans, but was relieved with none out in the second by Duke Sonntag, who pitched six innings, allowing but one run and striking out eight. Ralph Scharf re tired the Redmen in order in the last of the eighth.

According to Henning the strength of the team should be helped by the fact that five of the six players are Seniors and that five team members are returnees. Never theless, the team will have to work hard to match the competition that will be offered by the new Gateway Conference, of which the NWC squad is a member. Last year, in the old Badger-Gopher Conference, the tennis team was about even in the wonlost columns. 16

As a college graduate, you are slated to earn between $300,000 and $400 in your lifetime. Before you get going after all that money, take just on tical precaution. Guarantee your insurability for life insurance! The attrition nature, plus military exposure, makes some young men uninsurable — forces others to pay higher lifetime rates.

Aid Association for Lutherans has a modern plan of life insurance that starts in a modest way with full protection, then gives you several opportunities to increase your insurance later as your income grows. Your age will never be better and you'll never get a better rate. Help protect present and future dollars, and your insur ability, at the lowest net cost. Contact your campus AAL counselor for facts to fit your own case.

OUR COVER: The first look at die silhouette of the graduate and trees against the chapel conveys the thought of graduation. The photographer, however, sees more mean ing in this picture for the graduate. The beginning of study, which the graduate has made, may be symbolized by the young leaves of the trees. A Northwestern College graduate has made only a beginning in his study at the time of graduation. His study will not be termina ted at the end of his formal school days, but will continue to the end of his life. The impressive cross of the chapel shows die goal of die Northwestern Col lege graduate. This is the basis of 'his life-long study. It is the powerful message symbolized by the cross that every NWC graduate has a desire to tell the world. He wants to make his life work of preaching the Gospel of the Cross to everyone. This picture has much meaning for every graduate of Northwestern. GERALD GEIGER

1962 KEITH ROEHL

Wautauga, South Dakota PRESIDENT

Keith came to NWC from Northwestern Lutehran Academy at Mobridge. Besides being the president of his class for three years at NWC, he was on the Dorm Council, representing his class the year that the organization was formed. As far as sports are concerned, Keith was a member of the school’s teams in all three major sports, and for three years he was elected to the Athletic Board, holding down the presidency in his Senior year. The Black and Red found his services as an assistant editor and sports columnist very valuable. The Male Chorus gave Keith an opportunity to use his tenor voice in choral singing, and as a member of Forum he appeared in two final productions, both times cast in the role of a policeman — probably because of his good, honest face. Keith has maintained his standing at the top of his class in scholastic achievements and has been selected to give the German oration. Three years he was awarded scholar ships by the AAL to give recognition to his academic excellence. Keith does have one glaring weakness though — a habit of never handing a term paper in on schedule. He also has a little difficulty in convincing his roommate about the merits of the Dod gers. Next year Keith will be at Mequon, ready to take on all the duties of a “five-star general.”

Green Bay, Wisconsin

CARL PAGEL VICE-PRESIDENT

When some fellows come to Northwestern, hardly anyone learns to know what their home town is. Not so with Carl. The Packer season is long enough and Carl as a fan is enthusiastic enough for everyone to learn that he is from Green Bay. Carl likes almost all other sports too. He himself becomes most ac tive as a participant in the summer when he turns to tennis, water-skiing, swimming, fishing and sailing (he has his own sailboat — a snipe). Carl has a great opportunity to have a “fun" summer, for he works at a resort near Rhinelander where his duties include such “tasks” as teaching water-skiing. Come winter, Carl’s hobbies switch to bowling, listening to folk-music, and reading. George Bernard Shaw’s works are highest on his list. Three years in the Male Chorus and two years in Forum along with intramural sports of all kinds took up the rest of Carl’s spare time. Next fall Northwestern will give up one of its friendliest guys in Carl. The Seminary in Mequon will make the gain.

LARRY COOPER

SECRETARY-TREASURER

Larry’s friendly personality and willingness to help have become well-known to most NWC students through his position as school librarian, in which capacity he served full time for the past three years. He came to Northwestern as a remedial stu dent after graduating from La Crosse Logan High School ancl spending one year at the University of Wisconsin, where lie was majoring in pharmacy. An ardent Braves, Packer, and Bad ger fan, Larry was an active participant in intramural softball and basketball. He was a Forum member his first three years at NWC, and during the summer likes to hunt and fish. Through die years, Larry’s favorite subject has been Latin. 1-Ie plans to attend our seminary in Mequon next fall and will perhaps work for a master’s degree in guidance sometime in the future thru the University of Wisconsin. Larry has expressed a deep feeling of gratitude for the remedial program at NWC which enables young men who have not attended the Prep department or have not had the required language courses to make up the courses they lack and enter the Seminary in five years.

PETER FRANZMANN

Clayton, Missouri

DORM COUNCIL PRESIDENT

.«

' • • t

••

Peter leaves Northwestern with a fine record behind him. In addition to being a good student throughout his eight years, he showed leadership qualities, both in die dormitory and on die basketball floor. In his Senior year he was elected to the office of President of die Dorm Council. Pete was also captain of the basketball team. He joined an elite group when he be came the diird player in NWC history to score over four hun dred points in a single sseason. An additional honor was be stowed upon him when he was chosen for the All-State Small College second team. His beautiful and accurate hook shot will be remembered for a long time to come. During the school year Pete worked for a while as a delivery man for Pagel’s Bakery, but his plans for diis summer are indefinite. He says he hopes to loaf again as he has for the past several summers. He will spend die month of August in Michigan and after that, he will head for Concordia Seminary at St. Louis.

DELBERT BEGALKA Castlewood, South Dakota Think of Forum and you can’t help thinking of Del, who played more major roles dian anyone else in die last four years of die Forum's productions. We remember his superb perfor mances as Tiresius in Oedipus Hex, Alius in Constantine the Great, Hamlet in Shakespeare’s Gentlemen, Jonathon in Ar senic and Old Lace, Sigrid Jungquist in Jatiuary \6th, and his most recent success as Mr. Kalenkov in You Can’t Take It With You. Del also served as the Secretary of die Forum for two years. Acting wasn’t Del’s only extracurricular mode of expres sion during his four years of study here. Who could forget his bass horn in die Nordiwestern Band and Pep Band? He also sang in die Male Chorus for two years. His first two years of college were spent at DMLC, but his latent desire to became a minister caused him to come to Nordiwestern for four years as a special remedial student. His astuteness evidenced itself in his degree of academic skill. He finished his studies with the diird highest grade point average in the class. Besides his in terest in Thunderbirds, he also likes fixing clocks, carpentry, and odier constructive hobbies. Del plans to go on to Mequon. 18

JAMES BEHLING Wauwatosa, Wisconsin After getting his secondary education at Wauwatosa Senior High School, Jim entered Concordia College in Milwaukee as a remedial student. After three years at Concordia, he came to NWC for his final two years. At Northwestern, Jim’s favorite subjects have been Greek and religion. He sang in the Male Chorus last year and, as an active Forum Society member, helped with the stage settings of last year’s final production Where’s Charley? and this year’s production You Can't Take It With You. Jim is interested in horses, likes to listen to records and enjoys attending musical and dramatic plays and good movies. Jim’s family owns a cottage on Fox Lake and, as a result, he has become quite interested in boating and water skiing. He is a member and former president of the Fox Lake Water Ski Club. He is also interested in traveling and plans to go to Germany and Switzerland during the summer of 1963, accompanied by a certain German Fraeulein who lives with Jim’s family in Wau watosa and helps him with his German assignments. Next fall Jim will attend our seminary in Mequon. DOUGLAS BODE North St. Paul, Minnesota A friendly guy with a quiet, but witty good nature is a good description of Doug. That he is well-liked can be seen by die fact that almost everyone but his mother affectionately calls him "Bugs/’ This nickname, he says, is a carry over from his prep years at New Ulm, where he became die victim of the fad of exchanging the initial letters of the first and last name. It was probably due to this same DMLC influence diat Doug became so active in choral singing at Northwestern. Throughout his four years here, Doug has been blending his delicate tenor voice with both the Glee Club and the Male Chorus, serving as presi dent of the latter group in his Senior year. To this can be add ed a year in the College Quartet and a choral part in die Forumpresented musical. Where's Charley? Another of Doug’s inter ests is sports. He served as varsity football manager for three years as well as participating in intramural for four. His new home away from home will be Mequon.

Portage, Wisconsin LARRY CRAWFORD Born in Portage, Lar spent six years at Concordia College, Milwaukee, and then transferred to NWC. At Concordia Lar was die editor of the school year book, and he was also die school’s general ball-of-fun. He is what is called an on-again ofFagain dieter. Larry was a member of chorus in the Junior year, and as a Senior he devoted his time and talent to playing for us in chapel. The fact that Lar is opposed to any sort of physical exercise becomes very clear when we see that he never has at tended one gym class. But Larry' does like fish and this can be proved to anyone’s satisfaction, if one would care to take die elevator up to Lar’s aqarium room on third floor where the atmosphere is good for fish. This past year he bought a Valiant, but next year he hopes to buy a car. Larry is best-known on or around the campus for his sparkling performances as a member of Forum. Anyone who saw him act, cut up, and provide humor supreme in Where’s Charley? and You Can’t Take It With You will never forget the enjoyment donated by one Larry Craw ford. Larry plans to continue his studies next year at the Semi nary. 19

Hartford, Wisconsin JAMES DIENER Jim takes his studies seriously, but he also knows how to enjoy himself. His eight years here at Northwestern were wellfilled with extra-curricular activities. He played the bass horn in the band for six years and was a member of the Glee Club, Mixed Chorus and Male Chorus. During his first three years of college he was in the school bowling league, and last year was elected its president. He takes an interest in art and is quite adept at drawing. He contributed some of the covers for the Black and Red, as well as art work for other school subjects. He is the only student to use a scooter as his mode of transpor tation — at least, he did until it "threw” him recently. His inter est in Northwestern was first aroused by his brother, Ronald, who was graduated three years ago. Next fall he plans on join ing the ranks at Mequon.

THEODORE EISOLD Milwaukee, Wisconsin Ted attended Concordia Preparatory School for four years and Concordia College in Milwaukee for two more years be fore he came to Northwestern. As one able to make compari sons, therefore, he thinks very highly of his new Alma Mater, He especially appreciates die Greek classes here, which along with religion, are his favorite. Ted is good-naturedly called "the Jew" by his friends. The reasons are various, but one reason may surely be the place of his occupation in the summer. Ted is a life guard and has charge of the beach at Siebken's Resort on Elkart lake. There he has time to fish, water-ski, and of course, swim. As a special hobby, Ted enjoys Russian art and culture. He listens to Russian music and reads Rusian novels, short stories, and poetry. In Ted’s two years at Northwestern he has shown a real interest in student government. He served as Secretary-treasurer of the Dorm Council for one year and, during the spring elections of his Junior year, expressed many constructive opinions for the betterment of the dormitory. Ted will attend a seminary in the fall. LARRY ELLENBERGER Norfolk, Nebraska Larry is one of the battle-worn veterans. During his eight years at NWC he has seen quite a change in the school’s face. Back in 1954 the Dining Hall and East Hall were still in the earliest stages of construction, and the Chapel-Classroom Build ing existed only on the architect’s blueprints. Larry has seen our campus transformed into its present beautiful complex. "Elly" has been active on the intramural field, having played football, basketball, and baseball For part of the school year he spent his afternoons working for Pagel’s Bakery delivering donuts and making caramel apples. Larry has a green '51 Chevy in the parking lot, but he doesn’t let any grass grow around the tires. Mequon lies ahead for Larry, and he would like to be able to do his vicaring while attending the Seminary. Wiscon sin will be his summer home again this year as it has been for the past several years. But so far he has no definite job lined up.

DANIEL FALCK Neenah, Wisconsin Dan is a member of that elite group in die Senior class who has spent the last eight years at Northwestern and now at last has reached the top. He is propably best known for his 1953 Ford convertible which happens to be the only convertible on the lot. Even though he is a native son of Wisconsin, he is antiBrave and pro-Dodger when the baseball seasaon comes around. In his four years of college, Dan participated in intramurals, league bowling and tennis. Although he never climbed the ladder high enough to be an active member of the tennis team, he was responsible for keeping the pressure on the top ranked men and made them better players because of his efforts. Dan is uncertain about his summer’s work, but it is quite certain that next fall his “only one of it's kind at Northwestern" will find its way to the parking lot at the Seminary.

HERBERT FILTER Adrian, Michigan Anyone who has ever watched Herb play pool knows why the phrase “Hebe luck" is so often shouted by a frustrated op ponent. Herb has not only acquired an outstanding degree of finesse in this game, but he is capable of making seemingly im possible shots with facility. There are many divergent opinions maintained and defended concerning the percentage of Herb’s “tremendous” shots which can be attributed to chance, and those that arc actually premeditated. Since Herb is very enig matic and doesn’t indicate this clearly, this problem is die topic of many hours of debate in the clubroom. Herb is a versatile singer, and sang in Male Chorus as first bass for a year, a second bass for a year, and a tenor for two years. He partici pated in Forum for two years, and was also an enthusiastic in tramural player. Reading English romantic poetry, especially that of Coleridge, is one of his favorite pastimes. He has a pen chant for science fiction, and is the foremost audiority in his class in that field. Herb plans to further his ministerial train ing next year at Mcquon. Milwaukee, Wisconsin THOMAS FRANZMANN The ex-Campus and Classroom editor of the Black and Red came to Northwestern from Michigan Lutheran Seminary. For two years his tenor voice was a mainstay in die Male Chorus. Another of his music pursuits was the College Quartet. Tom participated in most of die intramural sports and still kept his A & P job. Working down at the A & P was Tom’s way of blow ing off steam, keeping an eye on Valleskey, and putting away a little money for a future for two. Tom dabbles in hi-fi and jazz (as a listener) and is not a bad shot with a pool cue. His little green Studebaker is happy diat there will be no more trips to Omaha, for Omaha has moved back to Milwaukee — and then only five minutes away. During his four years on and/or off campus, Tom was known as a gentleman and scholar. This became very apparent when he was selected to give the English oration for commencement. Tom is a serious-minded student and, in keeping with his strong convictions, will begin his studies at the Seminary next fall. 21

Rio Creek, Wisconsin WALLACE GAULKE “For years I’ve been searching for the perfect diet and still have not found it." Many may think that these words were spoken by our chief steward, but actually they belong to the Senior class dietitian, Wallace Gaulke. Wally never has had the privilege of eating one of Mr. Bilse’s meals, since he prepares his own meals according to a rigid daily schedule of so many calories of this and so many of that. When he isn’t working to perfect his diet, Wally likes to do just about any sort of scientific work. He is especially interested in electronics. All types of music, Mad magazines, and television give him sufficient hours of relaxation. He also likes to do work in his favorite New After spending the sumTestament commentary, Alford mer repairing radios and television sets, Wally and his dietary habits will proceed to St. Louis, where he will attend school next fall.

JOHN HENDERSON Durand, Michigan One word against any sports team in Detroit, especially the Tigers, will immediately get a reaction from John. He definitely is their greatest fan in Wisconsin. Another title also falls to John’s credit. Nobody on campus has quite as many nicknames as he does. Some people never do learn his real name. Such nicknames as “Stretch”, “Slink", "Stan", and, of course “Hcnder, the Slender Fender-Bender” are constantly being addressed to him. There are about four places on and about campus where we fellows have become accustomed to seeing “Mender’’. One familiar place is on the basketball floor during the winter sea son. John ended his fourth varsity season this year accompanied with cries of "get going, Hender”, or "come on and jump.” The second place to find John is at first base on his class’ softball team, really yelling. If he’s not there, he might be driving Bcntzin’s delivery truck, or be down in die TV room watching some sports event. Maybe next year John can help Sem’s basketball team finally beat Northwestern.

JOHN HENNING Milwaukee, Wisconsin John came to Northwestern after four years of high school at Wisconsin Lutheran High and will leave this year for the Seminary at Mequon. During die four years at NWC he has been very active in school-sponsored activities. For four years he has been a mainstay of die tennis team. For an equal num ber of years he was on die football team. From his Frosh dirough his Senior year he was a member of Forum, playing in die final productions all but one of diose years. The main branch of his extra-curricular activities has been in music. For two years he was a member of die band and for four years a member of both die Glee Club and die Male Chorus. He direc ted the Prep Glee Club in his Junior year and the College Glee Club in his Senior year. During each of the Male Chorus tours in which he participated, he was solo organist. His final year at Northwestern was spent in the Prep Dormitory, along with Tom Spiegelberg and Ted Olson, where they assisted die tutors.

JERALD JESKEWITZ Manitowish, Wisconsin Some people take it slow and easy. In the years since “Jesky” joined the ranks as a Sextaner in ’53. he’s seen a good sec tion of NWC history pass onto the books. In his Freshman and Sophomore College years Jerry tried the Forum and Male Chor us, but soon turned from these pursuits to devote most of his spare time, to becoming an assistant at Bcthesda Luheran Home. It was there that Jer developed a deep interest in social work. Back at school, inclinations tend toward good music, good books, and generally keeping busy. Where it comes to cases of absolute conformity or fads, Jer prefers to choose the middle road. When you don’t sec him sleeping, he’ll be admiring our lovely campus, especially when it’s snowing or raining. With ample opportuni ty to come in contact with people, he has chosen a small group of close friends who enjoy observing people with him. Jerry’s future is for the present uncertain, although he intends to re main a confirmed bachelor and go into some form of social work, be it theological or otherwise.

JAMES KOCH Milwaukee, Wisconsin Jim came to NWC as a remedial student in 1956, after he had graduated from Bay View High School in Milwaukee. Dur ing liis college years he was active in intramural baseball and basketball. One of Jim’s hobbies is cabinet-making and he has attended evening woodworking classes at the Watertown Voca tional School. Another of his hobbies is bicycling, or bikehiking, and until recently it was not unusual to see Jim and his racing bicycle nearly anywhere in Jefferson County. In 1958 he was on a European hosteling tour, at which time he visited the Brussels’ World Fair and got to see England, Ger many, and Switzerland. Scholastically, Hebrew is Jim’s favor ite subject, and he plans to return to Europe to study Hebrew and theology, between his second and third seminary years, at the University of Heidelberg, where he hopes to get a doctorate degree. This will also give Jim a chance to complete his Euro pean sightseeing. On weekends, among other things, Jim works at a florist shop in Milwaukee. He plans to enter the Seminary next year.

Mobridge, South Dakota REINHART KOM "Reiny" spent his high school years at Northwestern Luth eran Academy in Mobridge, S. D., before he entered college here in Watertown, Wis. He first became interested in the min istry while he was in grade school, and his concern has not slackened. He likes to study languages, his favorite ones being Greek and Latin, and he would like to do a little graduate work in the Classics sometime. His favorite hobby is following world affairs. So that this description does not tab him as too much of an intellectual, it should also be said that he enjoys hard play and outdoor work. He took part in all of the intramural sports, so that by now he is sort of an all-around intramurals specialist. Last summer he worked for the government in the forests of Idaho, and, as a result, this summer he is going to try to get a civil service job and work in Northern Minnesota as a Customs Official. His future plans also include the Seminary.

Watertown, Wisconsin JAMES MUMM Jim is the only town student and the only family man in the Senior class. He is married and the father of seven monthold daughter named Hcidc. Jim comes originally from San born, Minnesota. Because Sanborn is only about fifty miles from New Ulm, he spent his prep years at Dr. Martin Luther Col lege. But because he didn’t take any languages at New Ulm, he had to come to Northwestern as a remedial student under the five-year plan. Jim never played any football in high school, but he came to Northwestern and caught on quite quickly — quickly enough to become one of our first five-year football lettermen. For the past several years Jim has been quite inter ested in Bethesda and its care for the feeble-minded. He has worked at Bethesda in his spare time and now holds the position of Director of Recreation. At many athletic events during the fall and winter Jim was seen escorting a group of the “children." Jim hopes to be able to finish his seminary work in three years and then go into the ministry.

Kiel, Wisconsin DONALD NINMER Every class has its poet laureate, and this year’s Senior class is no exception because Don has achieved some fame for his original English-German poetry. Most of his talent comes na turally; he always had a bit of “Sprachgefuehl." Don, an eightyear man at NWC, also is remembered for the quips which he made as the student body representative at the homecoming luncheon this past fall. For one year Don was named to the Dorm Council and was elected the “veep" of the organization. Even though he does work during the year at Kroger’s, he still is an active supporter of our athletic teams and rarely does he miss a game. For his own recreation Don bowls regularly in the Watertown leagues and finds swimming a suitable substitute dur ing the summer months. Various jobs occupy Don’s time during his vacations, but he looks forward to the road-racing season at nearby Elkhart Lake. Next year the “first missionary of the class" will head for the Seminary.

WALTER OELHAFEN Montello, Wisconsin Nine long years ago Wally (pronounced Volley) came to Nortil western. He came without his car or razor blades. For four years the intramural team has benefitted from Wally’s talents. He played end on the football team, guard in basket ball, and shortstop in softball. Wally is also interested in music, and he has accompanied the Male Chorus on two of its tours. An excellent Ford, one of Wally’s greatest assets and liabilities, may often be seen making the "Murmansk Run” over to Mil waukee. J. C. Penney entertains Wally for about fifteen hours a week, at the end of which old J. C. makes some sort of pe cuniary remuneration. For die past few years he has been re presenting NWC’s tennis team very well. Wally is one of the school's sharpest dressers, and this might have helped to attract a ’60 Prep graduate. Next year he is planning on rowing his boat ashore over at Mequon.

w .. THEODORE OLSEN

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Northwestern’s home-style Cecil B. de Mille-Benny Good man moved in on the scene four years ago and has been in the thick of things ever since. Freshest in the minds of students here, is "You Can't Take It With You,” a comedy farce which Ted ably directed. Certainly no less an accomplishment is his re juvenating of the Pep Band in his two years as director. A list of other pursuits reads something like the title page in a book by a Harvard graduate: Senior Band, Drum Major, Junior Band Director, Male Chorus member. Forum President, erstwhile in tramural participant, and sometime employee of J. C. Penney's. But let's not forget his partnership in Dean’s fourth floor Prep Dorm taskmastering program. There are few who can’t get along with Theodore B., except possibly sloughofls who pop ofT or people who say there’s nothing to do at NWC. Come fall, the '54 white Ford will expand its two-cornered trade route between Milwaukee and Ixonia to include Mequon. That’ll maintain a happy balance between home, work, and play.

NORMAN PAUL Newton, Iowa After spending his first year of high school in his home town, Norm transferred to Northwestern for the rest of his high school and college education. Because he is an avid sports fan, he has taken part in all intramural sports and die collegiate bowling league. He also was a member of the golf team which was newly formed this spring. As a Braves and White Sox fan, Norm finds it hard to get along with Lions, Tigers, and the Michigan wilderness in general. When he is not engaged in some outside activity, he occasionally studies. Norm is wellknown for his remarkable memory. This was proved one even ing when he memorized 500 Greek vocables in 15 minutes (circa). After spending the coming summer working for die Greyhound Bus Lines as a baggage clerk, this red-haired Senior will head his black Buick toward Mequon.

Glencoe, Minnesota KARL PLOCHER “Plocli” spent four years as a Hilltopper before coming to Northwestern for his collegiate education. Since his arrival, Karl has participated in many activities (bodi on and off campus), especially those of a musical nature. He has been a member of Male Chorus for four years, Glee Club for three years, and also sang in a quartet which was formed in his Junior year. In this year’s final Forum production his easy-going manner and care free style helped him to do an excellent job of portraying Mr. De Pinna. He also has actively taken part in intramurals and this spring was a member of the newly formed college golf team. Even with these things standing out as highlights o£ his collegiate days, Karl considers passing R.'A. S.’s typing course his biggest achievenment. After spending the summer months either on a construction crew or in a canning factory, his next stop will be Mequon. Since he does not have a car, diis will make his fre quent trips to Milwaukee “a pied” much easier.

Watseka, Illinois JOEL PRANGE Joel came to our school from Concordia, Milwaukee, two years ago, and since then he has become an integral part of the class of ’62 here. He proved to us that size isn’t a valid cri terion for judging a person’s ability and influence, for Joel has been one of the most dynamic members of the class, although he is also the smallest physically. Baseball is his first love in sports, and he played varsity baseball for two years. Last year Joel captured the important batting average leadership of our baseball team by hitting at a hot .360 clip. He was in Forum for two years and a member of the Black and Red staff last year. He also made good use of his musical abilities in Male Chorus for two years, and in Glee Club for one year. Chorale music and Bach are his favorite kinds of music. Joel is not without foibles, however; anyone who has discussed sports with him knows that he unashamedly supported the Midway Monsters. Cubs, and Black Hawks. After a summer of carpenter work, Joel will join the rest of his class entering the Semniary next fall.

Flint, Michigan MARTIN SCHEELE Marty came to Nordiwestern’s campus four years ago straight from Michigan Lutheran Seminary. He lived in Toledo, Ohio, until his father took a call to Flint several years ago. Here at school, singing has taken up a good part of his time. He helped fortify die second bass section of die Male Chorus and went on tour in his Sophomore year. As a Junior he sang a part in the chorus of die Forum’s operetta, which was its final production that year. This activity marked the end of diree years which he spent in die Forum Society. Intramural basketball, volleyball, and softball also filled much of Mart’s spare time. When he wasn’t around die school, however, you could always guess that he was in Milwaukee paying a visit to a special girl. This year, while coming back to Watertown, he decided to see if his car would run upside down and rolled it over to find out. Fortu nately nobody was hurt, but maybe the car he has now will get him to Seminar)' next year on all four wheels.

GARY SCHEUERLEIN Saginaw, Michigan If silence is truly golden, attention, Ft. Knox! Your re serves aren’t being stock piled in Europe, they're piled high in Room 320. When “Barney" hopped his ’55 Plymouth across die big puddle from Saginaw two years ago, he brought to Nordiwestern his Midas touch of shy, easy-going affability. Once here, die one-year hitches at both Concordia, Milwaukee, and Concordia, Ft. Wayne, coupled widi loyalty to his metropoli tan Michigan homeland soon convinced him that Watertown is nice, but---- . Gary’s reputation as a thinking man is upheld in the classroom where Greek, among other languages, interests him. When away from desk and room, Gary can be seen fre quenting one or die other of Watertown’s bowling alleys. His tremendous fastball has sent many a splintered pin into forced retirement. Odier sports interest "Barn" only from the spec tator's point of view. It is quite commendable diat in doing so he makes definitely cooler, definitely less-biased statements dian fellow Wolverines. Come September, the ’54 Chev he now drives will roost in die Seminary parking lot. 26

WAYNE SCHNEIDER Two Rivers, Wisconsin Wayne will long be remembered for his brilliant comedy in this year's Forum presentation, You Can’t Take It With You. His acting as Grandpa in the play drew special praise from the audience and from the cast itself, but Wayne’s comical delivery was not surprising, since he is naturally a cut-up, ready with a sharp comment and a quick joke. The chorus members found this true on the Easter tour this year when Wayne broke up the monotony of the long bus rides with his antics. In ad dition to holding membership in the choruses Wayne also sang in the Glee Club for two years. Though he was a starter on the basketball team in his Prep days, lie has contributed his athletic talents to the class intramural team the last four years. Bowling rates high on the list of his extra-curricular activities, but not far behind is camping-out in one of Wisconsin’s state parks. Northwestern will miss Wayne’s pleasant personality and friend ly manner which made him such a popular man on campus with students of every class, but Wayne will join his many friends who are already at the Seminary. GARY SCHROEDER Caledonia, Minnesota Gary’s warm personality has been with us for eight years on the NWC campus. His smile and friendliness have not changed, and he remains one of the most popular members of the Senior class. Basketball and tennis have been Gary's fortes in sports. He was a quick ball handler on the basketball court, and on the tennis court he has no peer. As a Junior he held the first position on the tennis team, but a part-time job has limited his play this year. His part-time job happens to be that of driving a school bus for Lakeside Lutheran High School. This involves two trips a day. He gets up with the birds to make the morning trip and then goes out again in late after noon. His Volkswagen bus can usually be seen parked on Wes tern Avenue beside the Library Building. This summer is still somewhat of a question mark for Gary. He would like to get into some branch of the Civil Service, but his forestry job in Idaho is waiting for him again if he wants it. After that it’s the Seminary for Gary.

Lena, Wisconsin GEROLD SCHULTZ Cool man on campus, Gary drives die coolest car on cam pus. just ask him. Says he had enough of extra-curricular ac tivity at DMLC, so give him a sunny day, a hose, and a jar of simoniz and diat’s enough. His enthusiasm for sporty cars can be traced to a lack of enthusiasm for standing still in cities of twelve thousand people. This lack of enthusiasm is furdier traced to a chronic quivering liver. Seriously, Gary can sit down with a book on psychology, philosophy, or English lit, accompanied by die peaceful dissonance of Brubeck, and quite forget the troubles of life. Gary’s a regular in die tennis-for-fun club as well as a fixture on the golf links, but only as a yearround ski buff does he rate a blue ribbon for “go-goism”. Last year Gary wised up. No 1. man at the Watertown Fertilizer Works isn’t a man’s idea of a job with a future so, if all goes well, Uncle Sam’s Aeronautic Officer’s Candidate School will draft handsome Gary to trade in his skid marks on the pave ment for skid marks in the sky. 27

Denmark, Wisconsin WAYNE SCHULZ Though Wayyne has been given die ominous warning that "nice guys die young,” he still remains one of the most friendly and congenial guys on the campus., As an officer of the Dorm Council and as vice president of his class for two years, Wayne was usually ready to present a suggestion to help remedy any problem. Looking back on his eight years here, Wayne con siders the tours made by the Male Chorus an exciting and un forgettable experience. In the major Forum production of last year, Where’s Charley?, Wayne also made use of his musical talents, as a member of the chorus. His conscientious efforts in the classroom have also been noticed. As a Junior he was pre sented a scholarship, and this year he has been given the oppor tunity to tutor a number of Prep students in Latin. Photogra phy has become a chief hobby for Wayne within the last year, and no shutter-bug would have any trouble finding interesting and beautiful subjects to capture on film while spending the summer around "Devi-Bara" resort in the Devils' Lake area. After a work-vacation there, Wayne will continue his studies at die Seminary in Mequon. Greenleaf, Wisconsin PAUL SEILTZ Paul is one of those friendly, easy-going farm boys, and, even though he might seem a bit on the quiet side, lie’s wellknown for his weather predictions. He says his favorite hobby is listening to the radio broadcast and then forecasting the weather. He spent both his prep and college years here at Northwestern, thus joining the ranks of the other eight-year men who’ve gone before. His main reason for coming to NWC was because of encouragement from his pastor and his parents. He likes to study and earned an AAL scholarship this year, but he didn’t spend all of his time at his desk. He also participated actively in such extra-curricular activities as intramural foot ball, and he was a member of die Forum Society for the last four years. In addition to this, he was the varsity basketball manager for diree of his college years. He plans on entering the Seminary next year.

THOMAS SPIEGELBERG Menasha, Wisconsin Tom is anodier eight-year veteran of Northwestern College. He began his Frosh year as treasurer of his class and since then has taken part in a majority of the activities on our campus. In die field of sports, Tom has participated in intramurals, the Collegiate bowling league, and has been a member of the tennis team for the last four years. Those who have taken the time to watch and root for die tennis team surely have enjoyed watch ing Tom’s fast and accurate court play. He has spent his last two years’ spare time working at Kroger's Super-market. Here he does various "grocitorial” duties which include reading the Black and Red on company time. In diis year’s final production, Tom did a very convincing job of portraying a rough and tough "J" man. This portrayal did not reflect Toni’s friendly and likeable nature which has won him many friends, especially one of die finest young ladies on our campus. He was privileged this year to dwell in die executive suite of the Prep dorm and serve as a monitor for our underclassmen. After spending die sum mer working in a publishing house, Tom’s car will be found in the Seminary parking lot, except on the weekends which it will spend in Weissville. 28

SHELDON TWENGE Chokio, Minnesota Sheldon, as one of the remedials of this year’s class, has just completed five years of hard college work. Although, as with all remedials, he had much work to do to catch up with the rest of his class, he managed to do plenty extra-curricular things, especially in die field of music. Prof. Oswald saw much of him, for he was in Male Chorus as a second tenor in his first, second, and fifth years, and in band and Mixed Chorus every year ex cept when he was a Junior. Other musical organizations also held an interest for him. He directed chapel schola for three years, bringing it up to its present high caliber, played the piano for evening and morning chapel and, for his own enjoyment, directed St. Luke’s church choir in his second year, and this year played the bass for the Imperial Trio, one of Nordiwestern’s most talented extra attractions. When he relaxes in his room, the music of the early classical composers keeps him occupied. Next year will probably find Sheldon at the Seminary, reading as many science fiction books there as he does here.

STEPHAN VALLESKEY Detroit, Michigan One quick look at Steve and what he has done at North western will show anybody that singing is one of his favorite pastimes. He started joining vocal organizations in high school at Michigan Lutheran Seminary, sang his way through four years at Northwestern, and will probably continue to do so at the Seminary next year. One of the top chairs in the Male Chorus’ first bass section was occupied by Steve in each of his four years. Glee Club for the last three years and his class' quartet last year also benefited from his singing ability. Singing, however, was not Steve’s only interest. In his Sophomore and Seniors years he held down a berth on the varsity tennis team. In other sports he participated on intramural teams, being a member of his class basketball team, which was the school champ for the last three years. Many of this student's nights in Watertown have been spent at die local A&P store, stocking shelves for the next day. His only regret in leaving is that he can’t take the John Milton course over again.

Goodhue, Minnesota ROGER VOMHOF Roger has been one of the top students in his class scho lastically since he came to NWC as a first remedial, and he is graduating fourth from die top in this year’s Senior class. Born and raised on a dairy farm in Goodhue, Minnesota, Roger at tended Goodhue Public High School and is now following in the steps of his brother, who is pastor in Alma City, Minnesota. Roger was one of the four Seniors who this year was awarded an AAL scholarship. He participated in intramural softball and basketball each of his five years here, and intramural football for two years. For the past two years he has abided Coach Pieper as manager of die baseball team. He was in Forum during his Junior and Senior years and took charge of die lighting effects in this year’s and last year’s final productions. Roger also sang in the Male Chorus his second remedial and Sophomore years. Being especially interested in languages, he spends quite a bit of his ume studying. His other interests include keeping up with current events and watching die Trojan athletic events. Roger plans to attend our seminary next year. 29

Glendale, Arizona MYRL WAGENKNECHT When Myrl leaves Watertown this spring for his home in die great, growing, but still empty Southwest, he can rest as sured Uierc still arc places on this earth where the weather is talked about, not endured. It’s not that Wisconsin is so bad, but rather that "the Tropics" are so much better. Busy "Scjuirrelly" has left his mark on many phases of NWG life during the seven years lie's been here. As competent Assistant Librarian and erudite editor or volume 65, Black and Red, Myrl more than established his reputation as a scholar, but not to the ex clusion of lighter pursuits. An avid fan and follower of the Trojans, he took part in conference tennis and college intra murals. He’s also been a four-year tenor and Chorus tour mem ber. Myrl doesn’t appreciate self-appointed gourmets or critics of the Gopher State, but always has a kind word for antiMarxists. If. by fall, the Peace Corps hasn’t already got him, Myrl will be another Arizonan to enter Mequon's Wartburg.

Kenosha, Wisconsin RONALD WATERSTRADT The immigration from Concordia, Milwaukee, two years ago brought us Rooney, one of the intellectuals of the class. He is a voracious reader, an expert philologist, and an enthusias tic participant in discussions. His favorite subject is American History, and he is intensely interested in all fields of history. “Ex libris” flow great ideas, and Rooney’s alert mind imbibes them avidly. Paradoxically enough, Ron is very absent-minded about such trivial tilings as returning library books. There hasn't been a list of library fines posted in the last two years that didn’t include Rooney’s name. He will argue intelligently about most topics, but bring up the Chicago Cubbies, the Na tional League, or the Baltimore Colts, and you'll have an almost perfect illustration of passion overcoming reason. He plays his favorite classical music on, his Hi-Fi, which has a 15-inch speaker, the largest in the dorm this past year. After another summer as an expert paint mixer Ron plans to continue his studies at Mequon.

ROGER ZEHMS Green Bay, Wisconsin The chances are pretty good that, if the Senior you just passed in the hall had a cheery greeting and a ready smile for you, it was Roger Zehms. Rog is a five-year man. He came here from Green Bay West High School and entered Northwestern College as a remedial student. He likes to read and is especial ly interested in American history. His favorite hobbies are swim ming and photography. In high school he was Photography Editor of his school paper and of the school's annual for two years. At Green Bay West, he took a journalism course which helped him to get the positions of Alumni Editor and Assistant Editor on our own Black and Red staff. He also was a member of the Forum Society for three years. He plans on going on to the Seminary in the fall.

LARRY ZESSIN Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin Quite some time ago Larry made the long trip down from Sturgeon Bay to Watertown, and he just stayed. Now eight years later he is graduating, and in keeping with “akademische Freiheit”, has not yet decided where he will go next year. Being an athlete and liking fun in general, Larry has played with the class of ’02 intramural team for four years. He follows the game seasons quite closely and is a member of the Conservation Club. Bird hunting and fishing are his favorite sports, but he has been known to be in pursuit of two-legged creatures — however, not with a gun. Larry gives drivers' lessons around Watertown and, when not actively engaged in that field, he may be seen test driving one of King-Hint/.’s big, big cars. During the summer Larry does the resort reporting for the Door County Advocate, and is responsible for getting out the "Resorter Reporter.”

ERNEST ZIMDARS Philmont, New York Ernie is the best friend of all NWC students who have trouble with German. Born in the town of Gross-Justin in the province of Pomerania, Germany, Ernie came to the United States in 1953. Although still a German citizen, he makes his home in Philmont, New York, where he attended Ockawamick Central High School. Ernie came to Northwestern in 1957 as .i first remedial student. He played intramural softball as a remedial, and during his first three years here he was in the Forum Society and appeared in four stage productions. Scho lastically, Ernie is particularly interested in history and Hebrew. His hobbies include playing pool, soccer, and chess, hunting and walking. Ernie also enjoys playing die harmonica, which he plays by ear. In 1958 Ernie made a trip abroad and visited Germany as well as odicr European countries. During his spare time, he used to work around town, at Strege’s and die A & P, and at Bethesda for two years. Ernie plans to attend our semi nary next year and would like to become a missionary.

the Catholic Church and all the extra ruf fles it has added to the pure Word. Such doctrines as the infallibility of the Pope, Mariology, and saint worship have in some cases so obscured what the Bible says, that it’s hard to find any truth in their teachings at all. Also in our own circles under the name of Lutheranism there have been many and great wanderings from the straight and narrow path. Even in the bul wark of conservative Lutheranism, the Sy nodical Conference, a schism has been opened up and from all indications seems to be growing wider. Amidst all this uncertainty how can we tell that our position is correct? We have

We live today in a world ruled by rea son and whatman would call his own com mon sense. To believe in something as foolish and as ancient as the Bible is con sidered pure folly in the eyes of the “truly educated” man. Everyday, at least to the satisfaction of the man of this world, sci ence and other fields such as philosophy are proving the Bible and all it has to say to be old myths and superstitious beliefs. This is not the only attack launched against the high and revered position which we reserve for the Word of God. Even from within the Christian Church, disputes, arguments, gross misuses, and faulty ap plications of the Bible take place. Look at 31

only one solid foundation. That is the Word of God. Again and again we can see that when a church body neglects the Bible or starts to interpret the Word to suit itself, the firm doctrinal position of that body crumbles. A good example of what turn ing to the Bible can accomplish was shown in Time Magazine in its April 20th issue of this year. The person here referred to is Karl Barth, the great Reformed theo logian. Here is a man who was educated in Germany at the turn of the century. At this time die wave of rationalism and de structive historical criticism of the Bible was sweeping through Europe. Barth la bored in his student days trying to under stand the Bible with his mind and kept running into dead ends. Various philoso phical and theological works were shoved in front of him to give him die answer; however, they didn’t have it. After he had completed school, Barth finally, as a last resort, returned to the Bible. Here he found a book with "divine thoughts about men, not human thoughts about God.” Im mediately he was branded as a narrow minded interpreter, but it made no differ ence to him anymore what man’s opinion was. He now had grasped what God had to say to him and the world. Christ was now the center of his life. He was and

still is, as one theologian called him, “a Christ-intoxicated man.” It is surprising how the world reacts to a man such as this. A widely circulated magazine such as Time gives him a front cover, upon which many of the great men of our time have appeared, and a lengthy five-page write-up inside. To many people under the influence of the world and its thought this man has found something new and exciting. The precious truths about our Savior, which we have had in our pos session since childhood, and which we have accepted by faith all our life, are looked on by many people as something different and strange. How fortunate we are to have been endowed with the Word since our youth. The way the world notices Karl Barth and his beliefs, although we can’t agree with him on such issues as election, revelation and inspiration, still ought to impress upon us the value of what v-- have in the Bible. What we too often take for granted is something the heathen world can become excited about. We 3v»ve it laid in our laps. Time’s article shoe’; be a powerful sermon to every believer co: erning the power of God’s Word to sh' \v us the one true solution to the mystery - life, w. death and salvation.

Die Insclirift auf der Tafel lautete auf de, wenn sie auch gar kein Kind gehabt englisch wie folgt: “In memory of Mrs. hatte. Denn als sie nach Amerika kam, Carl Schurz (Margarethe Meyer Schurz) kam sie als eine Kindergartenenthusiastin.

Carl Schurz, der wegen seiner Rolle, die er in der Revolution von 1848 gespielt hatte, ein Held geworden war. Den folgenden Sommer verheirateten sie sich und schifften sich dann nach den Vereinigten Staaten ein. Am 17. September 1852 landeten sie im Hafen von New York. Sie wohnten zuerst drei Jahre in Philadelphia, dann aus politischen Grunden entschied Carl Schurz sich nach Watertown, Wisconsin, zu ziehen. Watertown war eine Ansiedelung von vielen Deutschen, unter welchen einige seiner Verwandten waren. Im Friihling 1855 nahm er seine Eltern und seine Schwestern nach Watertown mit und fand fur sie ein behagliches Heim in dem kleinen Hause, wo Frau Schurz spater ihren Kindergarten anfing. Aber es dauerte bis August 1856, bis Carl Schurz seine Gemahlin und sein drei Jahre altes Kind zu seinem Bauernhof fiihrte, der am Rande dieser Stadt lag, wo sich die Familie dann hauslich niederliesz. Der Bauernhof lag auf einer Anhohe, von welcher man viele schone Ausblicke auf die Umgegend hatte. Dort pflegten die vier kleinen Cousinen zusammen mit Aga tha Schurz zu spielen. Wir konnen wohl glauben, dasz unter der Aufsicht der Frau Carl Schurz sie Kindergartenspiele auffuhrten, Kindergartenlieder s a n g e n und mit Kindergartenstoff sich beschaftigten. Weil die Schurzfamilie wegen ihres verhaltnismaszig hohen Ansehens viel an der Oeffentliclikeit stand, wurde die Tatigkeit der kleinen Agatha und ihrer Cousinen bald durch das Gemeinwesen bekannt. Als der Winter kam, wollten die Kinder der Ver wandten und Freunde sich mit der Gruppe vereinigen und an der Kindergartentatigkeit sich beteiligen. Darin erkannte Frau Schurz, die die Kinder miitterlich aufnahm, eine Gelegenheit ihrer Tochter alle Vorteile eines Kindergartens zu bieten. Also beschlosz sie in einem kleinen Gebaude an der zweiten Strasze in Watertown einen Kindergarten auzufangen, das es fur die Kinder zuganglicher war. Auf diese Art wurde der erste Kindergarten in Amerika im November oder December 1856 begriindet.

Friederich Froebel, damals nahe dem Ende seines Lebens, in Hamburg hielt; um der guten Sache von der „Neuen Erziehung” zu helfen, wie sie damals hiesz, und wovon der Kindergarten der erste Schritt war. Froebel nahm an einer neuen Bewegung in Deutschland teil, die auf die Erziehung der sehr kleinen Kinder hinwirkte. Nach Froebel sollte der neue Kinder garten nicht blosz ein Platz fiir die Ueberwachung von den nicht schulpflichtigen Kindern sein, sondern der Kindergarten sollte die Leiber der Kinder durch zustandige Spiele und Leibesubungen entwickeln und stjirken; er sollte ihre Sinne erziehen und den in ihnen erwachenden Verstand beschiiftigen. Der Kindergarten sollte sie mit der Natur, Menschheit und Gottheit bekannt machen, ihnen ein Gefiihl fiir die Gesellschaftspfiichlcn beibringen, welches das Heim mit seiner Absonderung nicht geben konnte. Audi sollte der Kindergar ten ihren Seelen religiose Ausbildung geb en, und durch die Befroiung der ihnen angeboren Gaben und Vermogen alle ihre Fahigkeiten einhei'ii'h entwickeln; gerade wie die Pflanze im Garten von innen wachst, wenn man sie ordentlich sorgt. Nach Froebel ist Kind eine Pflanze, die Schule ein G und die Lehrerin eine Gartnerin vo .dem. Unter dem Einflusz einer sole . erzieherischen Phi losophic war Frau Carl Schurz damals in Hamburg geraten. Frau Schurz alters Schwester, Madam Ronge, ihr Schwager Johannes, und auch ilir Bruder Adolf Meyer, waren Anhanger Froebels und der „Neuen Erziehungsbewegung” in Deutschland. Madam Ronge begriindete den ersten Kindergarten in Man chester, England, und spater auch einen in einer Vorstadt Londons. Da ihre Familiengeschichte eine solche war, war es sehr naturlich, dasz Frau Schurz selbst eine Kindergartenenthusiastin wurde. Frau Schurz half ihrer Schwester mit ihrem neugestifteten Kindergarten in der Vorstadt Londons, wo damals eine Kolonie fiir deutsche Fluchtlinge war, die an der Revolution von 1848 sich beteiligt hatten. Dort machte sie die Bekanntschaft mit i •.

Weil Carl Schurz ein geshaftigter Mann war und sich bald an der staatlichen Politik beteligte, blieb er und seine Familie niclit lange im Wasserstadt. Nach einem zweijahrigen Aufenthalt zogen sie nach Milwaukee. In der Tat war die Lebenzeit des ersten Kindergartens nur kurz. Dennoch ist die Tatsache wichtig fur die er-

zieherische Geschichte des Landes, dasz dieser Kindergarten, von Frau Schurz eingerichtet, der erste in unserem Lande war. Frau Carl Schurz hatte den Samen fur die Kindergartenbewegung in Amerika gesaet. Dieser Same ging auf und brachte viel Frucht. Keitii Roeiil

TRAVELING MISSIONARIES IN THE EARLY YEARS OF OUR SYNOD In the 1840’s thousands of German im- the territory from West Bend to Lake migrant settled in the areas around Mil- Michigan. Everywhere they went they waukee, Watertown, and Manitowoc. The found Lutherans who had no pastors to climate of this state closely resembled that serve them.

two was usually enough to change their minds. He had some trouble with certain groups of rationalists, who persisted in ar guing with him, but as a general rule the people were eager to hear the Gospel and to partake of the Lord’s Supper. When Synod met in 1858 Pastor Fachtmann’s work was approved, and he was authorized to continue and to expand it. The remainder of the year he spent travel ing and preaching in the northern Lake Winnebago district. He established con gregations at Oshkosh, Appleton, and Neenah-Menasha. In the Fox and Wolf River valleys he found many people who were not being served by pastors at all. Late in 1S5S Pastor Fachtmann wrote a letter to President Muehlhaeuser. He told how he traveled, preaching, adminis tering communion, and baptizing whereever he went. In one month he had preach ed over thirty times. He was a very busy man and rejoiced in ;! fact.

As result he could not make the rounds of . : congregations and preaching stations ofl(enough. He fear ed that in his long absences the people would fall prey to the other Protestant sects that were moving in. Pastor Facht mann called urgently for more workers. Both missionaries and pastors to serve per manent parishes were needed. His pleas were not easily answered. Pastors were hard to come by, as they could only be ob tained from Eastern schools or Germany. True, some came, but there were not enough to fill the ever-increasing number of positions. In the spring of 1859 Carl F. Waldt ar rived in Milwaukee. He had done mission ary work in Germany. President Muehl haeuser sent him immediately to Pastor Fachtmann, who was serving a short pas torate in Fond du Lac, and Fachtmann 35

sent him on to the northern half of the new territory, thereby relieving himself of a great deal of pressure of his work. The never - tiring missionary then set out for the La Crosse area. Here he continued his work as before. For three years more he served our Synod, gathering people into congregations and instructing children. His labors extended far north along the Missi ssippi River. In 1862 he moved to St. Paul and continued his mission work there for the newly formed Minnesota Synod. The loss of Pastor Fachtmann was a great blow to Wisconsin. The coming of Pastor Waldt, however, insured the con tinuance of the work. When he arrived in Menasha, the report of a new minister’s presence spread like wildfire, and people flocked to hear him. The work was no easier for Pastor Waldt than it had been for Pastor Facht mann. Seldom could he use a horse and buggy. In fact he visited one of his preach ing stations in a dugout canoe. Plis labors were not by any means in vain. He was able to expand the area already covered by Pastor Fachtmann. The faith of the people and their willingness to hear God’s Word was a source of boundless joy. In bad weather men would carry the women on their backs through swamps in order to receive Communion. Some of the rustic chapels did not have stoves. On cold win ter days people would hear the Gospel, warmed only by their hearts. One Pentecost Pastor Waldt was hav ing confirmation. The confirmands were all married men and women. They stood unashamed before the altar as they vowed before man and God to be faithful unto death. Very few eyes remained dry at this unforgettable service. Pastor Waldt continued his missionary activities for six years. Finally in 1865 his health forced him to take a call to a con gregation. The hardships of travel were too much of a burden. During the 1860’s a number of men served as itinerant missionaries. Pastor Mohldenke came from Germany in 1861. For a period of two years he worked the

I . i

• ••. ••

territory from Fort Atkinson all the way north to Wausau. He traveled a route that consisted of over twenty preaching sta tions. His main function was to solidify work that had already been done by men before him. At the end of his two years he came to Watertown to be the first pro fessor at Northwestern. In the mid 1860’s the Rat and Wolf River valleys developed into booming cen ters of immigration. Pastor Theodore Jaeckel served this area for four years, traveling on a little Indian pony from settlement to settlement. People gathered in the homes of neighbors to hear him whenever he ap peared. His efforts among these small groups sowed the seeds that later grew into flourishing congregations. Besides these small gatherings, Pastor Jaeckel ser ved six already established congregations and three preaching stations. He was a busy man indeed. Other men who did mission work in these fast-growing areas were Theodore Meumann, Wilhelm Dammann, and Johann Meyer, the father of Professor John Meyer. These men too, worked hard and faith fully as God’s servants. They organized and solidified congregations and opened yet more areas. I have mentioned the difficulties of travel, but just how hard it was to get around is hard to imagine. Favorite fords were often flooded, involving long detours. Roads on dr)' land were either too dusty or too muddy for comfort. In some swamps there were corduroy roads made of logs laid side by side. Sometimes the mission aries traveled by water, but not often enough to suit them. This was a luxury in comparison with walking. When the time came to build churches, the missionaries often pitched in themsel ves. Pastors Bading and Koehler under took the plastering of a new parsonage. Neither of them was particularly adept at this trade, for they could not get die plaster to bind to the walls. A neighbor

pointed out the error — they were not add ing the pig bristles, which were necessary for binding, to the mixture of sand and lime. After a fresh start the next day the pastors succeeded in finishing one upstairs room. Upon inspection one of the mem bers of the congregation remarked that it was a most unorthodox job. The walls were covered with gouges and trowel marks, and they looked, noted the obser ver, as though a squadron of Hussars had used them for a calvary drill. It was de cided to make that particular room a study for the pastor, in spite of the fact that an upstairs study in a parsonage was unheard of. The importance of these traveling mis sionaries for our Synod cannot be over emphasized. They were working against difficulties, yet the results of their labors were heartening. Thousands of p e o p 1 e were organized into dozens of congrega tions. Within a decade flourishing Wis consin Synod churches appeared in most ever)' principal town, and many o hem supported Christian day schools. C; Iren were baptized and confirmed to cir the Gospel into the future. The rapid growth of these areas with the resulting need for pastors led e etly to the founding of Northwestern, hicli was at first intended to be a seminar/ to train pastors. It became instead a college offering pre-theological courses. From this school men have gone on to study at the Seminary and from there to serve the con gregations founded by the traveling mis sionaries of a century ago. Most important of all was the fact that the hard working people were no longer forced to remain at home on Sundays. By the grace of God they could now hear the Word every week. It is an inspiration for us today to realize how eager our fore fathers were to hear God’s Word, and how zealous the early missionaries of our Synod were to provide it! Thomas Franzmann

On Monday, May 7, half of the Dining Hall was filled for the Dorm Council Lecture Series' final presentation. The big turnout was for Fred “Fuzzy” Thurston of the worldchampion Green Bay Packers. The audience was equally captivated by the 250-pound guard's massive build and his easy and inti mate talk. He spoke freely and gave a fresh insight into the “behind-the-scenes” aspects of pro football. The program was concluded with a movie of the highlights of the 1961 pro football season, but Thurston's witty humor and unbridled egoism remained the chief sub jects of discussion during the lunch that fol lowed.

There have been a lot of questions asked about the organ for our chapel. Many expected it to be here by Easter, but Easter came, and we aer still singing to the accompaniment of a piano. There is no definite date set for the arrival of the organ, but it certainly won't be here before some time this summer. It looks as if the Seniors will have to return to their Alma Mater to hear the organ they have long awaited.

"Wo isl mein Kopf?” Zahmnonymus In order to obtain some idea of who might win the Don ^ v Council Presi dency before the el; ) took place a small poll was con In short, the results of the poll w :i my own mind, but." The first task \v;. ■ find an average, run-of-the-mill, ever common place which would be . : \tentative of the whole dormitory. 1 w; over to first floor north, more commonly known as the “Ritz”. So that the poll would be impartial, only those fellows were questioned whose room number contained a three. From this survey many important results were gath ered. 1) There are as many boys on the west side of the hall as there are on the east. 2) No one named Birch lives in the "Ritz”. 3) They were all glad it was Saturday morning. With all due respect, mention should be made of some of the more interesting people interviewed. Number A thought Winterstein would not win because he is a Protestant. Number B did not think Hansen, Va lerio or O’Sullivan could win because we have never had a Scandinavian president. 47

Number C said she never talked to strangers and would never give aid or com fort to a subversive. Whats more she did vote for Bryan. After analyzing all this information we came to the following conclusions: 1) First floor north should not be allowed to vote. 2) Many of the eligible voters felt that the Junior class is too straight laced, but on the other hand if. 3) We ought to postpone the election until we know for sure who is going to win. Everybody was out on the diamond. The Mudville Seniors were down thirteen to twelve, and Casey Pagel was at bat. The count was three and two when the pitcher let it fly. Casey Pagel took a mighty cut; the air was full of dust. The Senior team began to moan, but Filter moaned the loudest. Pagel missed the ball, ’tis true; the bat hit Filter squarely. His head was bleeding quite profusely; his weeds were scattered everywhere. Ten big stitches were inserted, and the moaning ceased to be. Still the blood ran from that deep cut, they had sewed his dear mouth shut. Verne Voss has reported to this news agency that the music to "Cheer For Old Northwestern” is actually the baritone part for horn from "Show Me the Way To Go Home.” NWC can now rightly be numbered among the "big” colleges.

You have probably seen the picture of Cupid dressed in diapers and holding a bow and arrow in his hand. No? you have not. Well, have you ever seen Willie Russow wearing a baker’s hat and holding a pizza? “Omne simile claudet,” but you get the idea. Bill is hardly angelic, seldom plays Cupid, but is vastly cherubic. (I think I lost myself.) In fact Bill and his roommate, Morton, who bears a strange resemblance to Buddha, sit on their respective beds, fill the room with incense, and recite special incanta tions and omens put out by the Metrecal Company. But now to plagiarize. Methinks it was about a fortnight ago, it could be two fort nights, I am not sure. Anyway, tutor, in the guise of a mailman, brought down a most interesting letter. It was from Valer io’s favorite draft board, and it was written in German. After thumbing the dictionary for nigh unto a whole history class, Va lerio found out that instead of being classi fied 4-D, he was classified 2-S. Immediate ly Pres. Toppe took up die call to arms

and had his draft status changed. On July 9, Valerio is to be classified 1-A, that is, if he is not drafted first. Professor Kowalke has commissioned yonder Lambrecht to build an undisclosed number of rabbit hutches. “Poochio”, own er of a VW (Verhaszt Wanze), and maker of hi-fi cabinets, from which, I suspect, the idea of rabbit hutches came, has agreed to build them at his usual outrageous price. Pretty soon you will see rabbit hutches going up as fast as prof’s houses. The Senior class is having no little trouble deciding what to leave its Alma Mater as a memento of four lazy years. The committee handling the situation has made the following suggestions: 1. Just leave. 2. Put a clock in the dormitory belfry. 3. Polish the gold knob on the flagpole. 4. Buy several candelabra for th dark spots in the library stacks. 5. Place tin cups in every dorm oom not so that touring Ladies’ Aids give our students a zoo-compi 6.

But in the seventh ./a became shaky and was replaced by L Sonntag. Meanwhile UIC scored 7 runs < a only 2 hits, a blow from which the Trojans never recovered. The number of walks given up in this game was a key point. NWC pitchers walk ed 12 and struck out only 4 while Larry Moses walked 3 and fanned 12 for UIC. In the second game NWC managed to score 1 unearned run on only 1 hit, a single by A1 Just in the third inning, with the result that they lost 8-1. UIC scored 2 in the first, 4 in the second, and 1 each in the third and fifth. The totals: NWC -1 run on 1 hit and 1 error; UIC - S runs on 6 hits and 4 errors. Ralph Scharf started the game for NWC but was relieved because of a sore arm after lJ/$ innings by Wilkie Gregg, who was unable to get any one out. Lynn Schroeder then came on to finish the game. Despite the errors by the Illini, the Trojans were unable to score any more runs.

On May 16 the team traveled up to Plymouth to play Lakeland College in a rescheduled game. The Trojans cooled off the Muskies, who had taken two from Milton just the day before, by beating them 9-3 and thereby chalking up their first win of the last two seasons. Balza started on the mound for NWC and retired the first 12 men in order, facing only 16 men in the first 5 innings, before Lakeland scored 2 in the sixth. Sonntag came on in the eighth and allowed 1 run. NWC had 9 runs on 9 hits and 2 errors, Lakeland scored 3 runs on 8 hits and 6 errors. Bill Gabb with 3 for 5 and Joel Prange with 3 for 6 led the hitting attack for Northwestern. Each of these men had a triple. Two days later the Trojans lost a close game to Trinity College, 3-2. The game was played in Chicago. L. Schroeder left first base and started on the mound for NWC, and second baseman Karl Gurgel, did the catching in place of Just.

The totals: NWC-2 runs, 4 hits, and 4 errors; Trinity - 3 runs, 5 hits, and 3 errors. * * * * Coach Pieper Talks Baseball Although die Trojans’ final record was 2 wins, 7 losses, baseball coach Ed Pieper still feels the ball club as a whole was im proved over last year. Except for the first game, the team looked good defensively. The pitching also, though it failed against UIC, was fair, diough not exceptional, and the win against Lakeland proves that the lay-off of over a week due to rainy weather did not rob the hurlers of all their control. Hitting was the one thing that didn’t

measure up to expectations. Coach Pieper said he “felt we had a better hitting po tential” than the Trojans showed early in the season. But it seemed to straighten it self out somewhat toward the end of the season. The Gateway Conference as a whole has also furnished some tough competition. Milton is always a tough team, and a team like UIC, which played some 40 games this spring, is hard to beat. But the recent win against Lakeland was a highlight of the rather dismal season. But, after all is said and done, Pieper added, with coaching “it’s not that winning is so important, its that losing is so hor rible.

'62 TENNIS TEAM First row: J. Henning, W. Oelhafen, T. Spiegelberg. Second row: S. Valleskey, M. Wagenknechi. R. Christ man. TENNIS TEAM HAS WINNING SEASON May 2 NWC 5 Shimer College 2 May 3 NWC 2 Milton College 7 May 5 NWC 1 UIC 8 May 15 NWC 7 Concordia 2 May 16 NWC 6 MIT 3 May 19 NWC 9 Concordia 0 May 22 NWC 9 Lakeland College 0 May 23 NWC 6 MIT 3

The tennis team got off to a good start in the season’s first match May 2 by defeating Shimer College on the NWC courts 52. Tom Spiegelberg, Wally Oelhafen, Bob Christman, and Myrl Wagenknecht each won in the singles with scores of 6-3, 7-5; 6-1, 6-1; 6-2, 6-1; and 6-1, 6-4 respectively. John Henning lost die number one singles with scores of 6-4, 6-3. Spiegelberg and Oelhafen combined to win the doubles 6-3, 50

6-0, while Henning and Christman lost 6-4, 6-1. On the following afternoon, however, again playing on their home court, the Trojans lost to Milton College 7-2. Only the five and six players, Wagenknecht and Steve Valleskey, won in the singles. Their scores were 6-1, 7-5 and 6-0, 2-6, 6-2 re spectively. The top four men, Henning, Spiegelberg, Oelhafen. and Christman fail ed to win in the singles, nor did the doubles combinations win a match. According to Christman, if the team could have won three more matches, they would have won this meet. On May 5, the Trojans were soundly beaten by the University of Illinois - Chi cago tennis team 8-1 in Chicago. It was NWC’s third meet and UlC’s seventh. On ly Valleskey and Wagenknecht won in the doubles by scores of 7-5 1-6, and 6-3. Al though the team lost, tbev enjoyed the cordial fellowship of th.- lllini and their coaches. Four of th . UIG team mem bers were aliens, slut ^ g engineering in the U. S, under student passports. Israel, Germany, Poland, and ngarv were rep resented. After not playing for 9 days because of rainy weather, a period < which 3 matches were postponed, the squad came back to beat Concordia in Milwaukee 7-2 on May 15. Spiegelberg and Henning lost the num ber 1 and 2 singles respectively, but Gary Schroeder, last year’s number 1 man who just recently rejoined the team, Oelhafen, Valleskey, and Wagenknecht proceeded to win their singles matches. In addition, combinations of these six men won each of the doubles matches for NWC.

The team’s good fortune continued as they beat MIT the following afternoon on the Northwestern courts, 6-3. Henning, Schroeder, Oelhafen, Valleskey, and Wagenknecht easily won their singles matches, but our number 1 man, Spiegelberg, was beaten. The doubles combinations of Spiegelberg-Oelhafen and Christman-Neil Han sen bowed to MIT, but Wagenknecht and Valleskey came on to win 6-0, 6-0. In their second meeting of the season, the Trojans shut out Concordia 9-0 on the hot afternoon of May 19. The meet was held in Watertown. In only 3 matches was a third set played. Schroeder, Spiegelberg, Henning, Oelhafen, Wagenknecht and Val leskey played the singles. The doubles combinations were Oelhafen-Wagenknecht, Iienning-Schroeder, and Valleskey-Falck. The team continued their winning ways as they decisively shut out the Lakeland Muskies 9-0 on the Northwestern courts May 22. The Lakeland team won the con ference championship last year, but this year they are without the services of their four top players who have since graduated. Schroeder, Spiegelberg, Henning, Oelhafen Wagenknecht, and Valleskey won the sin gles, Oelhafen-Wagenknecht, ChristmanHenning, and Spiegelberg-Valleskey won the doubles. NWC will send five representatives to the tennis tournament in Sheboygan May 25 and 26. Schroeder, Spiegelberg, and Henning will play in the singles, while Oel hafen and Wagenknecht will play the doubles. With the exception of Wagen knecht, these will be the same men who represented Northwestern in the tourna ment 3 years ago.

Hi ■ i :

!•

fcdiiohml critical of each other’s actions. But in the summer we become the objects of scrutiny. People watch us to see how we behave. The man who you think is utterly dirtymouthed and worldly-minded may be quite watchful of your actions. At your slightest misstep he will say, “And you’re studying to be a minister?” You thought this man was completely calloused, but you find that you have given him offense. Such of fense, though easily given, bears dire con sequences. God tells us he will hold us ac countable for the offense which we give to our fellowman. It takes a great deal to lead a Christian life. It is an ever-upward struggle with many setbacks, disappointments, and con stant temptations to be like our worldly neighbors. And as Martin Luther, whose Reformation we honor this month, said, “A Christian has to know this and be armed against it, so that he does not let it trouble him or hinder him if the whole world lives k. s. otherwise.”

For most of us at Northwestern the summer months mean a big change in our way of life. We leave the sheltered, en closed existence of campus life and go out into the world to work at various summer jobs. All too often this becomes a release for us. We feel free of the shackles that a pre-ministerial school such as Northwestern puts on us. We tend to become a part of everything around us — we become ‘regu lar guys’. No longer do we have to be con cerned about the local townspeople, or the faculty, or the underclassmen. We can be come part of the crowd. To some extent we pick up the language and manners of our fellow workers. But this is precisely what we should guard against. We should ma!. very ef fort to set the best possible . ■ s : pie for those around us, for we are even higher pedestal than during school year. Here at Northwestern ire all working toward the same goal tudying for the ministry of Christ. \V ot too

LUTHER ON

£ DUTY OF FREE INQUIRY Luther has said that the Bible is “shal low enough for an infant to wade in, and deep enough for an elephant to swim in.” The fundamental saving doctrines are so lucid that nobody prayerfully studying the Bible could misunderstand their plain liter al meaning. The depth of God’s merciful love is something that can never be fath omed by a mere mortal. But we can daily grow and mature spiritually by diligent ly reading and meditating in the Word. Spiritual wisdom and insight are not re lated in any way to one’s intellectual ca pacity or physical prowess. It is a gift of the Holy Ghost, and we must constantly pray for it so that our sinful nature doesn’t blind us to the clear light of Scriptures. Our old man wants to master the Bible with his reason and comprehend God’s will. By con-

Martin Luther accepted Scripture alone as valid and authoritative in matters of doctrine. Because of this he discovered that the various Catholic formulas of works and faith were diametrically opposed to the true Biblical teaching of sola ficle. Like Dr. Luther, who refused to accept any human interpretation which he hadn’t test ed with the clear revelation of God’s Word, we all have the rightful duty of free in quiry. In John 5: 39, Christ commands each and every Christian, “Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testi fy of Me.” We are not only given the right, but are commanded to search the Scrip tures. The Bible, and only the Bible, is the infallible Word of God. It is the only source for our Lutheran confessions. 52

•.

tinually praying to the Holy Spirit for insight, we will be able to begin to realize the wonderful love of God. The Word of God is our source of power for a dynamic, living faith. Christ has given us the rightful

duty to “search the Scriptures”. Let us place the Word of God before everything and never cease to thank God for this preH. W. cious treasure,

AN ANALYSIS OF SCIENCE FICTION WITH THE WORKS OF FIVE AUTHORS

Science fiction is many different things to many different people. To its fans it is a great and growing literary field, and is even looked upon as the prototype of the literature of the future. To those who have never read it, science fiction is anathema, " the useless and forbidden thing classed with westerns and detective stories as “es-

cape literature,” but looked upon as something worse, something which poisons the mind and makes the reader strange and un fitted for life. In actuality, science fiction is neither of these extremes, but contains a little of both. It is impossible to classify so broad an array of literary achievement and failure as 53

simply as the above sentences would classify it. The best science fiction is indeed literature, and literature of the highest type, for it, like the ancient Greek dramas, is an attempt to better the reader — as the Greeks wanted to enlighten their audiences. It attempts to teach the reader a little of himself, attempts to create in him a sense of wonder at his surroundings and at the new things he encounters in his reading and living, and attempts to make him better realize the state of man — and of himself. It is this type of science fiction that will be examined in this paper. Though it is possibly true, as Theodore Sturgeon says, that “90% of science fiction is unadulterated crud because 90% of anything is unadulterated crud,” 1 yet it is also true tii.it the 10% remains, that 10% which for;" an entirely new and worthwhile add;r ; j the literature of the world. In order to examine any lilo. • ;ld, it is necessary to examine the auti* .irking in the field and their coni to the literary' type. For, in a verv 1 ense, a field of literature exists only is anthors. It is only in their minds :.\-t the idea for a new type of fiction exists .til it is born into the world from their typewriters. There are five authors who are very prominent in present-day science fiction, Not all the best stories have been their work, any more than all the best stories in main-stream fiction during the 1930’s and 1940 s could have been the work of Hemingway. But they are the elite, the five authors who most consistently turn out stories that fit within that upper 10% that is literature. These five are: Poul Anderson, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein, Eric Frank Russell, and Theodore Sturgeon. During the period 1940-’4i, science fiction went from pure escape literature and somewhat ridiculous concentration on imaginative science alone to a field used for pungent satire and excellent character portraits. Sturgeon and Heinlein became major influences on the field during these years

of-transition. In 1947, Clarke wrote his first science fiction novel. He has been working in the field ever since. Russell, began to write science fiction in 1948, but he did not complete a novel or gain recognition until 1954. He is the youngest author represented. Poul Anderson was born thirty-six years ago in Bristol, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the University of Minnesota with honors in physics in 1948, but has never worked in that field. He explains this by saying: “What happened was that writing, which had been a hobby for a long time, began to pay off while I was in college with some sales to Astounding Science Fiction”2 He has been working in the field of science fiction ever since, and says, “I don’t intend to make science fiction an exclusive career — I’ve already done a bit of historical wrfting and am planning some ‘serious’ novels — but within its limits, it is a fascinating line of work.” 3 This is how he views his work in science fiction. Of the field itself and its features, he goes on to say, “It permits a long view of the future, a chance to play with ideas, to study, the workings of man, and to show the consequences of theory in action.”3 This is as good a definition of the advantages of science fiction as can be found, Anderson’s first novel was Brain Wave, the story of earth after it has passed out of the cloud, a mysterious formation which has prevented human intelligence from reaching its greatest potential. After the escape from the cloud, the intelligence of men soars. I. Q. 150, which is, at the present time, considered ten points above the line denoting genius, becomes the lowest intelligence quotient any person registers. After various problems of adjustment have been solved, the earthmen decide that they will become the guardians of the universe. This is possible because the speed of light has increased in the clear space of the new universe, so interstellar travel is no longer a matter of centuries, but of months, without the necessity of traveling faster than light. ' In ideas, the novel is noteworthy in that it is the only one the author of this paper 54

has found in which earthmen — those sav age unregenerate beasts of the average science fiction story — become the guardi ans. Usually they are either the ones guard ed and guided on their way to interstellar prominence by other races, or they are quarantined to keep their poisonous influ ence from the rest of the galaxy. But in this novel, as in most good sci ence fiction of the last few years, die em phasis is not on the “gimmick”, the idea that makes the story possible, but rather it is on the people of the story. This book is the story of Pete and Sheila Corinth, a scientist and his ordinary wife, and how they adapt to the new level of intelligence. This is the prime motive force of the story. Guardians of Time is a collection of four stories having to do with time travel and the time patrol. The four stories are linked by a hero who is a member of this patrol. In the second episode of die first story, Everard, the hero, meets a Danellian. They are the beings who are the end result of evolution. The purpose of the dme patrol is to ensure diat those past events which led to the Danellian culture occur, and are not disturbed by time-travelers and their strange influences on time. Only once in this book does Anderson succumb to the temptation to make a story out of a paradox in time travel. It is the last story in the book which uses this com mon device. A time traveler who has been on vacation in the distant past returns to the twentieth century. Everything is chan ged. The cause is traced back to a victory by Hannibal in the Second Punic War. The traveler goes back in time, rectifies the er ror, and returns to a normal world. These stories illustrate the preoccupa tion with logical solutions that science fic tion offers. Time travel becomes a perfect ly reasonable thing if one assumes that neither the past nor the future is immu table. But then any change in the past, to which one has traveled, is liable to affect the future, which is really the present. This is the theory on which are based all time travel stories except those few involving mere travel into the future for purposes of

prophecy, or into the past for purposes of history. Anderson’s most recent novel, After Doomsday, reveals that science fiction ad venture stories, which he likes to write, can be used to reveal character and ideas. Earth has been destroyed. There are two starships out in space at the time. One is crewed entirely by men, the other com pletely by women. The men, perdictably, set out to find the destroyers of earth. The women want to find the men. Eventually the two groups meet, but only after a great deal of rugged fighting against the enemies of earth. They settle down, and live hap pily on a new planet. But the point is the people. It shows that both drives — pre servation of the species and revenge — are strong, and that even a bad motive such as revenge can lead to a good end. The story is noteworthy for a five-page flight into poetry, the longest in any science fiction story to date. So Poul Anderson is one of the out standing writers of the younger genera tion of science fiction authors. It is men like Anderson who will carry on in science fiction after the veterans who broke on the scene in 1940 have quit writing. They are men dedicated to science fiction as litera ture. They believe that science fiction is capable of carrying the highest flights of imagination, but that it can also be used to develop characters and express ideas about life itself in a fashion in which they cannot be expressed in ordinary fiction. Arthur C. Clarke is an Englishman and an Oxford graduate. lie is a scientist, a skin-diving enthusiast, a science writer, and a science fiction author. These appear to be- too many professions and hobbies for one man to engage in successfully, but he does so. Three novels by Arthur C. Clarke have come to be regarded as science fiction clas sics. The first of these, Childhood’s End, has a most unusual note on the copyright page. It reads: “The opinions expressed in this book are not those of the author.” * This note is necessary because the central thought of the book is an utter departure 55

dwellers lack. Because he is driven by this curiosity, he discovers the outside world, where he finds a spaceship. Having awak ened the city by means of this ship, he then sends the ship to find the greater civiliza tion that he knows exists in another galaxy. The book closes: In this universe the night was falling: The shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn. But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning lingered: and along the path he once had followed, Man would one day go again. 7 So hope is held out to the people of Diaspar, to the human race. Man will not die, but will go on to greater things. This, then, is Arthur C. Clarke, perhaps the most accepted of science fiction authors in critical circles, an author of power and of ideas. On Oct. 23, 1960, an event of special significance in the literary acceptance of science fiction occurred. A weekly book re view program on a New York City radio station carried a half-hour panel discussion on a book on interstellar warfare by Robert A.Heinlein titled Starship Troopers. The panelists were all high school students and the moderator was a college professor. s Starship Troopers, by Robert Anson Iieinlein, was the book that won the 1959 “Hugo.” Of all the science fiction novels published in that year, this was chosen the best. It is the story of a civilization built on a democracy of the military. Only those willing to fight for their country, those who have served time in the armed forces, are allowed to vote. Anyone who wishes to en ter the armed forces may do so, and a place must be found for him. After thirty years of service he may retire to civilian life and the right to vote. This story is typical of Heinlein’s writ ing. He takes a situation in the future, sets real men and women in that situation, and tells their stories. Along the way he ex presses his own ideas — not in dialogue, but in the story itself. If This Goes On ..., a novelette, uses this style to treat of a re ligious dictatorship and its overthrow. MethuselaKs Children poses the problem of co-existence of near-immortals with ordi nary people. Unfortunately the problem is

from anything traditional, anything expres sed before in science fiction or elsewhere. The story is, as the New York Times calls it: “a wonderfully imaginative novel of the transformation of man . . . hailed as a land mark by aficionados of the genre.”-, This is an apt description of ChilclhoocVs End, a tremendously powerful examination of man kind’s future. The story is this: Earth is visited by ex traterrestrials. They are friendly. Their duty and mission is to prepare men for membership in the galactic culture. The only problem is that this demands radical developments in man in order for him to be fit to join the galactic civilization. Child ren develop powers of extra-sensory per ception and teleportation, they gain the powers of the mind that they need in or der to enter the civilization, and they join the culture. But in joining this culture ;hcy become one with it. It is a concept Shelleys “Oversold”, but here it > “Overmind”, and it is attained in life after death. The adults are left b; Most kill themselves, but at least on on earth and spends the rest of his mong the artistic treasures of the a, While this is overwhelmingly a ne • oi ideas, fantastic ideas, it suffers not at : a story because of that. Not once in a generation did the voice of die city change as it was changing now. Day and night, age after age, it had never faltered. To myriads of men it had been the first and the last sound they had ever heard. It was part of the city: when it ceased the city could be settling in the great streets of Diaspar. G So begins Against the Fall of Night, one of two novels Arthur C. Clarke wrote which used the same general plot. The other is The City and the Stars. These novels tell the story of Diaspar, a city of Earth, and of Alvin, the one who destroys the cities and saves man. In the story, mankind has developed very nearly the ultimate civilization. There are no wars. There is no want. There is also no curiosity or drive. The galaxy is dying, and unless the cities awaken, man will, die with it. Alvin, the hero, is a “freak” bom with curiosity, which the other city56

never solved, for by the time the immortals get back from a journey to the stars ordinary men have found the secret of imrnortality. So Heinlein writes, setting up problems in a realistic but casual future setting, tos sing out iedas and conflicts for his real characters to solve in a natural way. If Heinlein has a serious fault, it is too much use of die “deus ex laboratoria,” the scientific device that gets him out of impossible situations. Unfortunately for the field, Eric Frank Russell writes very little science fiction. Unfortunate, because what he does write is among the best work being done in the field. An excellent example of the Russell touch in science fiction is the story Plus X. This might have turned into a very common tale - an earthman is trapped by the enemy behind their lines and imprisoned, Most writers would have treated the situation seriously and found some esoteric way for him to escape. Russell doesn’t. He has Lessing, the hero, make a deal for some wire. With this wire he fashions a coil and contacts” his Eustace,” the other being he dreams up. The Eustace is supposed to go everywhere with each earthman and protect him. He also avenges any wrong done to them. Lessing manages to convince his jailers, members of one of the minor races in the enemy confederation, of the reality of his Eustace, and also that the chief race in the enemy confederation, the Lathians, have a counterpart of the Eustace in their “Willies.” He tells them, when asked to prove the existence of these Willies: “Easy as pie. They’re holding a bunch of Terran prisoners. Get someone to ask those prisoners whether the Lathians have got the Willies.” o They do, and believe his story. This is the way Eric Frank Russell treats his themes. He sets up a situation in which only brains and ingenuity — or a surprise gimmick — can save the day, then waltzes through the plot as though the whole thing were actually taking place. Whether, as here, he “shows that even in the far reaches of Time, there’ll always be a con man,” 10

or merely sets up a situation, as he does in Spiro, where aliens come to earth bent on conquest and find earth more desirable than their home planet because they can assume any shape they wish and not seem odd, then has one of the invaders trapped because he became a dog rather than a bird, Russell always manages to combine humor and warm - heartedness, humanity and strange situations, and to produce an excellent story that teaches something ahout man and his surroundings. “Our university English professor, speak ing of the evil of sequels, once said: ‘Not more, but again, is the test of the great story.’ Mr. Sturgeon proves this.” n This is the way Alfred Bester, one of the better science fiction writers himself, speaks of Theodore Sturgeon. Sturgeon is, in my opinion he best of all authors working exclusively in science fiction. Breaking like a thunderstorm on the chaotic, changing, maturing science fiction world in 1940 with the magazine publication of short stories, one of which, Killdozer, the story of a mad machine, is still a classic, Theodore Sturgeon has managed to do what few authors in the field have accomplished. He has changed with the times, always finding new ideas, new concepts. Sturgeon’s style itself has changed, When he first reached the peak of his fame, Sturgeon’s stories tended to concentrate on the machine in the story. Now this is changed. The Sturgeon of today is a product of the transition in science fiction that the early 1940’s brought, but he is more. The Sturgeon of today writes intensely human science fiction, science fiction centered not so much around inventions as around the people who use or abuse those inventions. It concentrates on the people who, by their veiT personalities, cause things to happen inf th® story; This is the best science fict!on ^ today, this perhaps, the science fiction °* tomorrow, It is, as Ray Bradbury states, impossible to anaylze Sturgeon’s writing, because: Wit and spontaneity are far too evasive, they are brilliant gaseous material all too soon exploded and vanished. You put your 57.

hand up, as to a pulsation of fireworks in a summer sky, cry ‘There!’ and pull back, for even while*you tried to touch the won der it blew away. 12 While it may be impossible to analyze Sturgeon’s writing, yet it is possible to give an idea of that writing itself — of its gener al style, ideas, and the stories it is used to tell. In one of Sturgeon’s novels, Some of Your Blood, the theme of vampirism is ex plored. But instead of the vampirism of legend, this is a modern affliction, a psycho logical phenomenon. And instead of being revolted at the very idea of such a perver sion the reader finishes the book in full sympathy with the victim of the sickness. The ending of this book is ihe greatest sur prise of all. Sturgeon does not supply a finish. Rather, he says: “Since this is and must be fiction, what would please you?” ]3 In other words — how do you want this story to end? He does ' supply an an swer, but the reader’s answer to the ques tion, if carefully thought out, may give that person a little insight imo himself. It is this self-criticism, this h to explore all parts of man, to expose ; all, that is the driving force behind S; soil’s novels. More than Human . : a theme very similar to the one that Ci. used in Child hood’s End, the ultimate development of mankind. Apart from this, however, the stories are entirely dissimilar. Instead of depending on the intervention of extrater restrials and an Overmind, Sturgeon has man evolve or develop new talents without outside interference. Seven people, each gifted with a different extraordinary men tal talent — telepathy, teleportation (the ability to transport oneself anywhere by exercising the mind), telekinesis (the abili ty to transport objects by use of the mind), a computer-mind, a great imaginative mind, and — the final element — the great ethical mind which becomes the conscience—these seven get together and form a super-being. They then take responsibility for the rest of mankind, a responsibility to care for them, help them to live well and at peace, and finally to aid them in the development of the powers which will lead to more be-

ings such as the seven became. The story is rich in ideas. It shows the result of action without ethical or moral basis, portrays the human conflicts that the seven people must undergo to get to gether, and most of all makes the reader think. The thoughts it engenders are not of the super-being of the story, for that is too remote from the reader’s experience to require thought. The thoughts are rather of man and ordinary life. One thinks how many of the experiences that the seven people of the story had to undergo he has had to suffer himself. By far the most important point of the story, though, is the value of a conscience and of moral sense — to man or superman. Venus Flux X, Sturgeon’s latest novel, is more a philosophical piece than anything he had done previously. It tells of a world where sexual conflicts are eliminated, where, as a result, peace and brotherhood reign supreme. But this world is not in the future. It is an experiment conducted in our own time Which leads to it. The story is an attempt, it seems, to im plement Freudian psychology into a good science fiction novel. It succeeds, but only because Sturgeon has the sense to sacrifice some of the psychology to the story and background, to make the book a tale of real people living real lives in an imaginary situation, much more than it is the story of a situation alone. Finally, it is necessary to give an exam ple of what a short story can become in Sturgeon’s hands. Hurricane Trio is a good example. The first sentence is a classic. It opens the story with a shock, reading: “Yancey, who had been killed, lay very still with his arm flung across the pillow, and watched the moonlight play with the color of Bev erly’s hair.” u The story tells the tale of Yancey. He went on vacation with his wife, Beverly, and they arrived at the lake, where they planned to stay, in the midst of a terrific rainstorm. They met Lois, and she took them in out of the rain. They stay ed at the cabins she owned — and Yancey fell in love with her. Naturally, Beverly 58

the blind turn on die other side, which is where he collided with the space ship and was killed. 15 The men in the space ship put him back together better _ # than he was before, and he met Lois again later. He and his wife took her in, as she had taken them in the previous year at the lake, and Yancey still loved her. But then, on the night on which the story opens, Yancey starts to think. Perhaps Beverly has undergone the same bet tering process he has, is the same type of being that he is. This logical thought turns, predictably, to truth in his mind. It may be true, but whether it is or not makes no difference. At any rate, Yancey goes back to Beverly, and no longer loves and wants Lois. Here again it is the way the story is told, not the story itself, that makes the im pression. Shocking things happen naturally in Sturgeon’s writings, yet one actually lives the story, rather than merely reading it, be cause Sturgeon creates truly human people to experience the shocking occurrences. So, judging from these five authors, and from others who have produced work as good as theirs, science fiction cannot be fit ted into the category of pure escape fiction. Nor can it be classed as literature of ideas exclusively. It is a form which allows the expression of ideas and satire, permits the exposition of human character, and gives free rein to the imagination. Science fiction: . . . can be so great that it can almost drive you right out of your mind. It can

NEW FACULTY MEMBERS The faculty of Northwestern College has been relieved somewhat of its heavy work load this year by the addition of two new professors. They are Professor Arnold O. Lehmann, 501 College Avenue, and Professor Armin Panning, 1317 Western Ave nue.

Professor Lehmann, who is teaching music and Latin, is a son of the Reverend and Mrs. Philip Lehmann, who reside at 1016 North Fourth Street. The Reverend Mr. Lehmann is retired, Professor Lehmann was born in Nebras ka forty-eight years ago and moved to Wis59

liam C. Burhop, was the pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church for the University of Wis consin students at Madison. The Lehmanns have three sons, Philip, who has just entered the ninth grade in Northwestern’s prep department, Richard, age twelve, and Edwin age eight, both en rolled at St. Mark’s Lutheran School. In his new capacity at Northwestern Professor Lehmann serves as director of the musical organizations and as instructor of several music classes and Latin I. Professor Lehmann is a member of the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia music fraternity, the American Musicological Society, and the Music Educators National Conference. Professor Panning is a native of Gibbon, Minnesota, where he was born in 1931. He was graduated from Dr. Martin Luther High School in the class of 1949. He then attended Northwestern College, graduating with the class of 1953. In the fall of that year he enrolled at die Wisconsin Luther an Seminary,Mequon, Wis., attending from 1953 to 1957, with one year out to serve as instructor at Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw. Professor Panning was engaged as a tu tor here at Northwestern for two years, 1957-59 and then was ordained into the holy ministry. Following his ordination he was installed as pastor of Salem Evan gelical Lutheran Church in Escanaba, Michigan, on June IS, 1959. He served there until the last part of this summer when he came here to join the classics department of the Northwestern College

consin at the age of nine. He was gradu ated from the Northwestern College pre paratory department in .1932 and from the college in 1936, with a 8. A. degree. In 193S he was graduated from the University of Wisconsin Music School. He received his bachelor of music degree there, gradu ating with honors, and in 1940 received his master’s degree in music. He completed additional courses at Western Reserve University for an ad vanced degree in musicology, and he stu died composition with Dr. Cecil Burleigh and Dr. F. Karl Grossman. Professor Lehmann served as assistant band director at the University of Wiscon sin from 1937 to 1939, and was music direc tor of the Colfax and Fall River, Wisconsin schools. He has been choral director at Luther an High School in Cleveland and was chair man of the music department at Concordia Junior College, Fort Wayne, Indiana. He has also lectured in music at the University Extension Division, Fort Wayne, Indiana. During World War II Professor Leh mann served with the U. S. Army Signal Intelligence Division in England, Africa, Sicily, and Italy. He is married to the former Esther J. Burhop, whose father, the Reverend Wil-

faculty. Professor Panning is married to the former Virginia Nelson, Escanaba, Michi gan. This year there are also two new tutors at Northwestern to replace Ronald Roth and Paul Siegler. They are Richard Wiech mann and Richard Weber, both graduates of the N.W.C. class of 1961. Tutor Wiechmann teaches Sexta Eng lish in addition to carrying out his duties in the prep department dormitory. And drawing on four year’s past experience on our varsity football team, he is also assis60

A little over a month from now our Synod may embark on what could become the greatest single group effort in its 112 year history. It may authorize the writing of a complete new chapter in Spirit-driven growth and mission work. It may also, be cause of the scope and size of its endeavor, demand from each member and member church in our Synod a decade or more of extreme self-sacrifice, prayer, and dedica tion to purpose. This “group effort, new chapter, decade of self-sacrifice,” of course, is our Synods plan to up-date, expand, and rejuvenate its most funadmental institu tion — education. At its 36th Convention last year, in a spirit of careful preparation, the Synod authorized an outside agency to survey our school system in order to gain a perspec tive in depth before pressing ahead. In keeping with this move it postponed all action and looked forward to a special con vention sometime in 1962. The complete three volume written report of this survey is now on the desks of Synod officials. A special condensation of the same is in the hands of virtually all pastors. Even our members have become briefly acquainted through a comprehensive article in the Northwestern Lutheran. Northwestern College’s position in the proposed changes is at once important, yet relatively small. It is small because of all our Synod’s institutions, it will demand a minimum in new construction. While New Ulm stands to receive a major overhauling, and Mil waukee Lutheran Teachers College is plan ned to rise from nothing in its spacious Brookfield site, our Northwestern College should only receive a new West Hall to replace the antiquated Prep Dormitory. The money outlay would amount to only about one-twentieth of total proposed ex

penditures. It is important, on the other hand, in that it is planned to continue as the one school adopted solely for pre-theological training. Neither New Ulm nor Milwaukee will usurp or incorporate its century-old function as feeder school to the Seminary. It is also important in that by 1970 enroll ment will make a separation of Prep and Collegiate campuses absolutely necessary. This separation will be by far the most significant effect of the survey here in Wattertown. Conceivably the present campus would house only a four-year college in two dormitories, producing graduating classes of above eighty. Near Water-'.own, still closely connected, but wholly r. •!% would rise an independent one and a : million dollar complex of buildings to house the Prep Department, still m a i n t a i i n g the standards of Northwestern Prep The ways and means by which this in teresting future for NWC was predicted also revealed many small, but interesting facts. Did you Know . . . • That Northwestern was credited by the Educational survey as having the best landscaping and campus in the Synod ? • That Northwestern is credited with the best (Chapel, Dining Hall) utilization of Synod building funds in recent years ? • That the whole campus is offered as an example for future construction synod wide? • That Northwestern is presently valued at more than 2.16 million dollars and that it would take over 2.7 million to replace present facilities? • That while in the past ten years NWC enrollment has jumped 40% from 135 to 189, in the next ten years it is expected to jump nearly 100% to 360 ? • That it costs $606.45 to put you through 61

• That the level of intellectual ability as shown here can be matched by a mere handful of colleges in the entire country? Such facts and figures together with broader recommendations will be weighed and reweighed by our delegates and com mittees in convention next month at Dr. Martin Luther College.

The various musical organizations which we have on our campus have again begun to function. This year they are under the capable leadership of Professor Lehmann. After tryouts were held, singers were chosen for Male Chorus, Glee Club, and Mixed Chorus. The band, with only a few days of practice, did a fine job of marching and playing at our first home football game. The Frosh were given their first chance to show their true colors on Monday, September 17. At 10:30 in the evening, in compliance with a Sophomore edict entitled, “Dc- Carmine Scholae", they assembled in the college club room in order to sing the school song publicly and tell of its history. After various solos and duets, these pleasantries were concluded with the singing of the school song by ill who were present. Carl Otto (Soph) led the group singing. On Thursday, the 20th of S' . mber, the Forum Society met after chapel ; lie projec tion room for its organizational me ing. Presi dent Bill Gabb officiated. The ':. i;or portion of the meeting was used to set up .rious com but they also enhance the beauty of our cam mittees to take care of all the n ious tasks pus. Another new addition is that of the clock that go along with staging a Forum produc which was donated to the school by last year's tion. In accordance with a motion from the Senior class. Affixed to the front wall of East floor a parliamentarian was elected Mr. LawHall, it is a clear reminder to all that tempus renz received the majority vote. The meeting was then adjourned. fugit. The Senior class presented this year’s first pep fest in the college auditorium after chapel on Friday, the 21st. A portrayal of our re nowned faculty was given by various members of the class. All who participated did a very convincing job. The pep band, and Bill Meier, who spoke in behalf of the college team, also contributed to the enthusiasm of the assem blage. Verne Voss served as M. C. The Forum Society’s Kickoff Banquet was held on September 27th in the dining hall. Professor C. Lawrenz of our Theological Semi nary at Mequon presented a very interesting slide lecture which dealt with his recent trip around the world. Most interesting were his slides on Australia and Berlin. After the lec ture, a light lunch was served.

On Monday, September 10, at 2:00 P. M., the school year was officially begun with the opening service which was held in the college auditorium. President Toppe addressed a near capacity crowd of faculty members, students, relatives, and friends. After the service stu dents reported to their class advisors in order to receive their schedules and preliminary in structions. Thus the 1962-63 school year was begun with all asking the Lord's richest bless ings on their efforts. The two professorages which were begun last spring have now been completed and are serving as the homes of Professors Eickmann and Kiessling, and their families. Not only are these new homes valuable housing additions,

Still it is only fair to confess that some of the material which is given the ax is at times a bit libelous. tt „ • Here at this five-year undergraduate school — four years of study and one year trying to get a date — the time is rapidly approaching when a centennial will be held. . Fourscore and seventeen years ago our great forefathers brought forth to tins hill one school, not dedicated to the proposition that scholars must make dollars fought for at the Supreme Court, carved out of a wilderness, and resting on a cemetery.” Formerly N.W.C. stood for North West Cemetery. And in keeping with this idea of a centennial it was decided to make a few changes - the first in almost 100 years. Only kidding. Some changes were made last year: 1. Breakfast will be announced by Admiral Kante promptly at four bells. 2. Lets put the bang back in the shot heard round the world. 3. It is a proven fact that the shortest distance between two points is across the grass. But the answer is still, “NO.” 4. Car owners will keep their own stalls clean. No straw is allowed.

“Togetherness: a silent partnership in a grotesque social pretense, an elaborate col lusion in some sinister emotional swindle.”

In view of the meritorious service to the Black and Red, it was decided to send Dan Pautz abroad. But somehow he man aged only to get as far as “the Province”, where he stopped off at D.M.L.C. Upon entering the shower room in the dormitory, Dan noticed a peculiar sign posted on the wall. It was entitled “How to Take a Shower and Not Get the Floor Wet”. Im mediately this intrigued Dan. He read farther. 1. Open shower curtain. (This was a particularly clever statement, considering the fact that there was no shower curtain.) 2. Step over raised portion of floor. (Clear enough.) 3. Turn nozzle toward wall. 4. Turn handle clockwise. Simple; and that was all there was to it.

SCHOOL SPIRIT

’

School spirit is a tenn to which ever)' student seems to attach a different mean ing. To the athletically minded student it means supporting the athletic program of his school. To the music lover it means enthusiasm for the musical organizations of his school. To the scholar it means taking full advantage of the curriculum and the library of his school. Accordingly, there is a definition of school spirit to fit each per sonality. 'But what does school spirit really mean? Basically it means enthusiasm for one’s school. Since this enthusiasm is outwardly expressed by participating in school activi ties or by encouraging others who partici pate in them, school spirit has taken on all these secondary meanings. The very fact that there are so many different instances in which school spirit connotes a show of enthusiasm for a school activity proves that its basic meaning is its best and most cor rect one. Now let us consider this question: "What ought to be the essence of this school enthusiasm at our own school, Northwestern College?” Many a student wrongly thinks that the essence of school spirit is showing enthusiasm at sports ac tivities. Yet that same student might do more damage to his school than all the yelling, shouting, and cheering could ever atone for. Perhaps after attending a basket-

ball game a student may complain about the food offered in the dining hall, willful ly break a dormitory regulation, disparage his professors, or neglect his studies. Ob viously this is not showing, enthusiasm for one’s school. Since it is possible for one to be perfect in his show of enthusiasm for Northwestern’s athletic activities and still show a decided lack of school enthusiasm in the aforementioned ways, enthusiasm for sports activities obviously is not the essence of school spirit, but only an attribute. The center around which all facets of Northwestern College life revolve is its prime function and its purpose for exis tence — the purpose of preparing men for the ministry. Therefore, the center and very essence of true spirit at Northwestern is that we be enthusiastic about the lofty purpose of our school. For enthusiasm in this respect will engeni: r enthusiasm for all other aspects of Nor w estern College. To be sure, support of . ilctic teams will not be disregarded, but .' idler will such things as homework be i glected in any way. On the contrary, a student who is filled with enthusiasm for this lofty pur pose will seek to build the reputation of his school by emphasizing the good points of Northwestern rather than the bad, by engaging in constructive rather than de structive criticism, and especially by his own example. u. zimmermann, ’63.

jans and ran it to the 37 yard line. Ground gains by Erhard Opsahl and Bob Bitter, and completed passes to freshmen ends Ron Koepsell, good for 13 yards, and to Clarke Sievert, good for 31 yards, put the team in scoring position. Then Opsahl ran through the middle of the line for a fouryard drive to score. Ralph Scharf kicked the extra point.

NWC’s second TD came in the first quarter as the result of Hahm’s 64 yard run. Northwestern had taken over the ball on St. Procopius’s 42 yard line and had been thrown for a 6 yard loss just before the long touchdown run.

The Trojans were unable to score after that, although on three occasions they got within 15 yards of a TD. Similarly, the V ,V'

The journey down to Lisle and back was slowed by several bus breakdowns. After a late start, the team needed the ser vices of 4 different buses to complete the trip.

Although the team still has a long way to go, Coach Umnus has so far been satis fied with the playing and feels he has a stronger team this year than last. He fears that the team will meet its toughest com petition during the second half of the sea son. Coach Umnus declined making any predictions as to the final outcome but said, “I think the fellows are doing a pretty good job for the practice we’ve had.”

Sehroeder re ceived fine pass protection and passed 26 times, completing 15 of them (although 2 of them were caught by Elmhurst players). Bill Gabb intercepted 2 passes for the Tro jans. This game was also noteworthy in an other way. The NWC Senior Band was pre sent in uniform under the direction of our new professor, Arnold Lehmann. So far as anyone can remember, this is the first time the Senior Band as such has played for a football game. On September 29, the Trojans contin ued their winning ways by soundly trounccing a spiritless St. Procopius team 39-0. The game was played in Lisle, Illinois. Northwestern’s six touchdowns were scored on runs by Bitter, Ron Hahm, Just, and Harry Hagedorn, who had little trouble

CAN CONSERVATISM SAVE AMERICA? and consequently, they will accomplish as much as they can by talking “peace” while actually waging war. They will delude us into peaceful settlements as long as they can and until they are ready to strike be cause they know that our nation isn’t fac ing the facts. We are afraid to believe the nature of the conflict we are in. We are being told that survival and peace are more important than freedom. We are searching for a means of “appeasing” or “accommodating” the Soviet Union. We don’t understand that there will be no tol erable peace until we have defeated the Russians.

We are all aware of the fact that Rus sia has attempted to establish missile bases in Cuba. Naturally, we were all relieved when Mr. Kennedy apparently frustrated the Russian plans here. But have we final ly awakened to the cold hard fact that Russia is actually acting in accordance with her avowed objective of world domi nation? Barry Goldwater was conscious of this fact long ago. In his book, Conscience of a Conservative, he points out that Russia is determined to conquer the world. Of course, the Communists do not want to pay a greater price than we force them to, 69

to professed enemies, falsely supposing that material goods will change their po litical goals. Look at Indonesia, India, and the United Arab Republic. Has American aid made these countries less pro-Communistic? Even if we concede that the “stomach theory” is correct, we are met with the fact that our aid is strengthening socialistic governments. If our methods are to be made compatible with our ends, we will limit foreign aid to military and technical assistance to those countries that need it and are committed to the goal of defeating Communism. Another example of the fallacious rea soning in our government today is mani fested by our negotiation practises. None of us really believes that we will gain any thing in talks, but we figure there’s no harm in going through the pretense of at tempted settlements. The Comunists, how ever, look upon negotiations as another battle in the struggle for world supremacy. If they don’t effect c. •mal agreement, they still benefit from propaganda val ue of the talk. For ir ice, by agreeing agreed that our to talk about Berlin rights in Berlin were atiable”, thus acknowledging the in ac ..icy of our posiof West Berlin tion. Actually, the si concerns the occupy!lowers only, and we don’t have to dk :<s this with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union \\ I not discuss any thing that isn’t to then advantage. They are always on the offensive. When Eisen hower tried to discuss the status of the satellite nation^ of Eastern Europe, he was advised by the Soviet Union that this wasn’t a legitimate matter for discussion. We all know how spurious the promi ses of the Russians are, and that the so called “crises” which engender negotia tions are controlled by the will of the Rus sians. In the light of these facts, we must be very careful before running to the con ference table. Mr. Goldwater delineates a positive for eign policy in his book: 1. We must never lose sight of our ob jective, winning the struggle against Comunism. 2. Our strategy must be primarily of fensive in nature. In addition to parrying the enemy’s blows, we must strike our own.

If we’re going to be honest with our selves, were going to have to face another inescapable fact. That fact is that ever since World War II we have been con stantly losing ground. Russia is bent on conquering us, and is turning all her re sources to this end. This is obviously war, and our only objective in this situation must be victory, not peace. We want to avoid overt hostilities if at all possible, but we must also be careful not to make this our chief objective be cause war is not unthinkable to the Com munists. If we are not ready to fight for our freedom, the “balance of terror” is no longer a balance at all, but rather an in strument of blackmail. We must make the cornerstone of our foreign policy that we would rather die than lose our freedom. Every aspect of our foreign policy should be conducive to defeating the ene my. Is that actually the case today? NATO SEATO, and the CTO have served notice to the Kremlin that we will oppose Com munist aggression in certain areas, but they play a limited role for a number of reasons. First, there are huge areas of the free world that these alliances don’t touch. Secondly, they don’t protect against politi cal penetration and internal subversion. We can discern this in Iraq and Cuba. Thirdly, the alliance system can no longer adequately defend its members against overt aggression. Our nuclear superiority formerly held Russia in check, but she has almost caught us in this department. This means that in a nuclear stalemate where neither side is prepared to go “all out” on local issues, the side with the su perior conventional forces has the advan tage, and we cannot match Russia in this respect. Fnally, our alliance system is es sentially defensive. Although we have poured over eighty billion dollars into foreign aid in the last fourteen years, it has only hurt American prestige along with our economy. These extravagant expenditures can’t be justified as charity since our government doesn’t have the right or obligation to promote the social and economic welfare of foreign nations. It can only be justified to the de gree that it helps us win the Cold War. Mr. Goldwater observes that whenever Foreign Aid was actually beneficial, we find that “the recipient government was already committed to our side.” However, we still dole out aid to neutrals and even 70

3. We must strive to achieve and main tain military superiority by decisive superiority in small, clean nuclear weapons. 4. Our economic strength must be in creased by emancipating it from the government strangulation it is now in. 5. We must make foreign nations re spect us by behaving with strength and purpose as a great power. 6. We should adopt a discriminating foreign aid policy. Our aid should take the form of loans or technical assistance, not gifts. 7. We should withdraw diplomatic re cognition from all Comunist govern ments including that of the Soviet Union, thereby condemning the Communist plan to dominate the world as illegitimate 8. We should encourage and guide cap tive peoples to revolt against their Communist rulers. 9. We should encourage riiendly peopies with the capabii o undertake offensive operations be recovery of their homeland. 10. We ourselves must prepared to undertake military op ions against vulnerable Commun .. gimes. If there is a major upri in Eastern Europe, we ought esent the Kremlin with an uli • : a turn forbid ding intervention and be prepared to move in with nuclear weapons if necessary. This plan is hard because we are stat ing our policies openly, and it acknowled ges that war may be the price of freedom. By adopting such a policy, we would be acting in accordance with the spirit of our founding fathers. This is the foreign poli cy of the “new” Conservatism of Barry Goldwater. His Conservatism is called new be cause it differs so greatly from the socalled conservatism of many Republicans such as Eisenhower. Eisenhower affirmed that he was a conservative in economic mitters, but a liberal in human affairs. Many Republicans have abandoned the Conservative point of view except as an economic theory. They agree with the Democrats that the Federal government should be interested in the little people and not “the malefactors of great wealth.” 71

Even though Conservatism has eco nomic implications, it is not an economic theory. All Conservatism does is put ma terial things in their proper place, while Socialism subordinates all other considera tions to man’s material benefit. The Con servative sees man as a spiritual as well as an economic creature. Since these spiritual needs are more important than the material wants, Conservatism is pri marily concerned with enhancing the spir itual nature of man. Every man is a unique creature with his own temperament, talents, abilities, wants, and character. Therefore a politi cal philosophy must make provision for the unmolested development of the various potentialities of each individual. But this development cannot be compelled and di rected by outside forces. We must also remember that man cannot be free eco nomically without being free politically, or vice versa. The true Conservative rec ognizes that the economic and spiritual aspects of the nature of man are closely connected. His conscience is pricked by anyone who would corrupt or debase the dignity of the individual. In order to have freedom there must first be order to insure the freedom. The power of the federal government, however, should be kept from becoming an absolute state power. Our forefathers were aware of that when they drew up our Constitu tion. That is why they devised the system of restraints against an absolutistic ex pansion in the government. First, the Constitution limits the au thority of the Federal government to speci fic delegated powers. Secondly, all powers not delegated to the Federal government are reserved to the states. Thirdly, the government has been carefully divided in to the three separate branches. Fourthly, Article Five’s difficult amendment proce dures prohibit a precipitate alteration of the system. America made its greatest progress when it cherished these conservative prin ciples. Have conditions changed so much since the time of the Constitution that Conservatism is no longer feasible? Barry Goldwater doesn’t think so. In fact, he maintains steadfastly that the regenera tion of Conservatism in our government is the only remedy for our seemingly insol uble enigmas.

stitution, which is the standard of legit imacy. If we do this, the Federal govern ment’s total tax bill will be the cost of exercising the “delegated powers” which our representatives deem necessary in the national interests. However, if the Feder al government enacts programs that are not authorized by its delegated powers, the taxes needed to pay for such pro grams exceed the government’s rightful claim on our wealth. “The only way to curtail spending substantially is to elimin ate the programs on which excess spend ing is consumed.” I have presented the main tenets of Barry Goldwater’s Conservatism which ad heres to the natural laws and beliefs of our Constitutional fathers. We can see that there might be quite a bit of disagree ment concerning Goldwater’s strict inter pretation of the welfare phrase of our Constitution. Goldwater points out, how ever, that Welfarism nch more dangerous to our democ ra -ociety than is

Nationalism. Whereas the evils of Nation alization are self-evident and immediate, those of Welfarism are veiled and tend to be postponed. People begin to think the government is promoting the national welfare much more when it allows private charities to care for needy people. This way both the giver and the receiver un derstand that charity is the product of the humanitarian impulses of the giver, not the due of the receiver. Finally, the elimination of the government overhead charges liberates greater funds for these undertakings by private groups. In recent polls it became apparent that the American public is once again leaning toward the rejuvenation of these vital principles. But whether the country is willing to accept Goldwater’s unequi vocal proposals is something that no one knows right now. If we still believe in the political philosophy of our forefather’s, Barry Goldwater is the man we have been h. w. looking for.

HOMECOMING day night. The rally conducted by the Junior class went off quite well and served its purpose to a T. The pep band did its usual magnificent job despite the cold crisp air touching the horns and fingers. Junior M. C., Ralph Martens, kicked the rally off with a stirring pep talk on Hornet and Trojan victories, followed by short talks by Trojan captain, Bill Meier, and Hornet captain, Marty Schwartz. The Ros tra acted out a humorous skit based on the Flintstone cartoon show and, of course, a Hornet victory. For this rally two special

Once again Northwestern’s ah;, mi and friends returned and were met by a spirit of fes tivity and gaiety. The pep the student body displayed and the work which it went through to make this Homecoming a suc cess seems to rank as one of the greatest efforts a Northwestern student body has ever put forth for the Homecoming festivi ties. Even Coach Umnus, who has seen his share of Homecomings, mentioned at the pep rally that this year both Trojan and Hornet supporters showed more pep and energy in backing our teams than he’s seen for a long time. The official opening of every Home coming weekend is no doubt the outdoor pep rally on Friday night. Although by this time everybody has been working on displays and other decorations for a week or two, and the Freshmen haven’t slept for two nights in order to guard prospec tive bonfire material from premature ig nition by local enthusiasts, still the real spirit and fire, both in students and in the heap of cardboard, isn’t ignited until Fri-

This year Miss Hedy Weiss, a Quartaner, ascended to NWC royalty with Miss Jane Suhr, a Tertianer, and Miss Julie Schultz, a Quar taner, in her court. Queen Hedy was then escorted to the bonfire and with help from her humble subjects set the cardboard ablaze. After the rally football players went to bed, other fellows took their dates home, and still others went to finish up last min ute work on displays. Saturday morning once again testified to the fact that this year’s student body really went all out. When this reporter finally got up out of bed, most of the work of setting the displays up was already com pleted for the 9:30 a. m. deadline. Profes sor and Mrs. Zell, along with Queen Hedy, were the judges, and it was quite a selec tion of displays from which they could choose the final winners. The theme for this year was “Television Programs”, and the winners were selected on the basis of originality and the method in which the themes were carried out. The final win ners were announced at the half time of the college game. The Seniors with the theme, “Checkmate”, took first place. A huge checkerboard was depicted with sev en Trojan chessmen, representing the sev en Seniors on the team, holding the rather stupid-looking Bethel king in absolute check. In front of this display was an en closed sign with “Senior” in the back-

through small peep holes on each of the four sides of the enclosure. The four scenes showed the life of Wayland from their arrival at Northwestern to their bur ial after the game. The Quinta class gath ered in the third place honors with a large cannon fired by a hornet aimed at a rather scared-looking Wayland player on the bullseye of a huge green and. white target. The theme was “Target — The Corrupters.” There were also several other rather unusual displays on campus this year. Probably the most eye-catching was the Sophomore class’ forty foot tall space needle. It definitely reached higher than anybody else’s display and looked very realistic. The foundation of this structure was a brand new telephone pole sunk five to seven feet into the ground. The Frosh class made an actual rotating roulette wheel and table, and were taking bets with genuine play money. The game was some what lopsided, however, since the table and wheel consisted of only black and red numerals, and bets for Bethel were flatly refused. I don’t know Aether the Frosh class made any money om their casino or not, but certainly ;is was the first roulette wheel to ope; on Northwes tern’s campus. Toward noon the •mi really began rolling in, and present dent body mem bers were actually s< walking around with girl friends for ti wst and probably last time this year. The leather was abso lutely perfect, not a cloud in the sky, and yet not so warm that it made the football players uncomfortable. The band, as it has done for every home game this year, suited up and marched down Tower Road to the field. When the pep in the bleachers began to die out, the band revived it with spirited marches. The Preps won the first game of the afternoon in a hard fought battle against Wayland, 19-12, and continued their quest for the Midwest Prep Conference cham pionship. The only mar on a perfect af ternoon was the Trojan’s heartbreaking 13-7 loss to a powerful and unified Bethel team. Although ahead in the third quar ter, 7-6, they couldn’t maintain this mar gin up. to the final whistle. Still they play ed a game which made all their supporters proud of them. (See Sports for further de tails. ) Soon after the college game the annual Homecoming luncheon was held with an 75

overflow and record crowd of slightly over 1000 in attendance. The decorations in the gym were a sight to behold. A huge football player stretching about three-

fourths of the length of the gym was sus pended in the middle of a football field background made of crepe paper. Crepe paper was then strung to the sides and back of the gym to complete the job. That probably was the most crepe paper that gym has ever seen in its fifty years, and we have the Sophomore class to thank for it. The Senior Band performed another first this year by giving a concert for a half an hour before the luncheon got start ed. Our new, energetic music director, Prof. Lehmann, directed the band in a very commendable performance. After the luncheon prepared by Mr. Bilse and his kitchen crew, and served by the Frosh class and the prep co-eds, the program with Rev. Donald Sellnow of Menominee,

Rev. Chworowsky Rev. Sellnow Michigan, as toastmaster began. The main speaker for the evening was the reputed ly the hardest hitting guard Northwestern ever had, Rev. John Chworowsky, of Ma son City, Iowa. He dwelt on the fitting former name of the college, the “Goslings” (which he said meant “foolish inexperi enced people”), and he mentioned the im-

possibility of such classical studies as He brew, which sat pretty well with many of our students. Following Rev. Chworowsky’s address, there were short talks by student representative, Jim Westendorf, and foot ball team captain, Bill Meier, who enlight ened those interested in Northwestern ath letics concerning this year’s newly formed Gateway Conference. The Girls Glee Club under the direction of Ann Prange, and the College and Prep Glee Clubs under the direction of Bill Gabb and Karl Gurgel re spectively also helped to liven up the eve ning.

yet that night, the program was cut as short as possible and was over by 7:30. As soon as the crowd got out of the gymnasium, it didn’t take long for the campus to return to its usual quiet at mosphere. Within an hour it looked like any quiet Saturday night. The only re minders of what festivities had taken place a little while before were displays which now looked as though they had been hit by a tornado, after everybody had taken a piece of them for a souvenir. Another hap py Northwestern Homecoming has gone and disappeared into the annals of NWC history.

According to a census of 1855, the population of Watertown, Wisconsin, was listed at 8,500. Watertown at that time was larger than Madison, Janesville, and Racine. Watertown had an ideal location. It lay in the heart of some of Wisconsin’s best farmland. It had readily available water power. It provided a natural hub for the various railroads crossing the southern half of the state. All these fac tors pointed to a fast growth for the city. But today Watertown’s population is only 13,943 while Madison (pop. 126,706), Janesville (pop. 35,164), and Racine (pop. 89, 144) have left Watertown far behind. Why? The answer can be found if we ex amine the history of one-hundred years ago. In the 1840’s many Eastern com munities were having trouble because of their reckless subsidizing of railroads and highways. Railroads would go bankrupt, and the communities would lose their investments. To prevent such a thing happening to itself, the state of Wiscon sin inserted a clause into its constitution which forbade the state to grant subsi dies or issue bonds to help in building railroads.

But the constitution didn’t prevent communities or individ' persons from putting up their money such ventures. So when the railroad building boom came in the 1850’s, the people of Wisconsin went all-out to get in on the boom. Appar ently they hadn’t learned their lesson from the example of what had happened in the East. The years between 1850 and 1857 were a period of wholesale farm mort gage in Wisconsin. During this period 6,000 farms were mortgaged for approxi mately $5,000,000. As had happened in the East, the money often went into unsure ventures which soon resulted in bankruptcy. Some times investors even paid their money to fraudulent promotors who never laid a mile of track. Private individuals lost heavily, but individual cities suffered even more when they invested public funds in such railroad ventures. Watertown was one such community which invested heav ily in the railroads and suffered losses. In 1853 the city of Watertown made its first issue of bonds to raise money for the Milwaukee and Watertown Railway, which was to move west from Milwaukee through Watertown. A sum of $80,000 76

was thus collected for the railway. This going to pay anything to the people of money was to be lent to the railroad com Watertown. The Watertown bonds quickly lost pany for ten years at an interest rate of eight per cent. In return, the Milwaukee value.

Watertown had put itself into being ordered by the courts to pay the debt to a total of $480,000 to help the bond holders, but, at the same time, was being stymied in its efforts to collect from railroads.

government was able to stall off any pay ments without directly defying the courts. The only way the city could have paid the bond holders would have been through taxation of the townspeople. In order to avoid being forced into such a taxation, the city decided to voluntarily kill its own city government. The mayor resigned, the city clerk resigned, and with the coun cil already powerless, the city was offi cially without a government. With no government there could be no taxation. The processes of the courts could not be served, since no government existed. Watertown could not have gotten by with all this if it hadn’t had a friend in the Legislature. This influential friend was Daniel Hall. It was he who got the Legislature to pass a bill which author ized Watertown’s seven remaining council members to act as street commissioners, thus preventing them from being able to collect any taxes. Under this set-up Watertown operated for twenty years. In 1870 Hall passed another bill which authorized a commission to try to com promise the city’s debt. Hall’s plan offered the bond holders fifty per cent of their original principal, if they would settle up, but the bond holders refused. Watertown was ready to go on indefinitely without a government in order to avoid full pay ment of the bonds. Legal opinion was generally sympa thetic toward the bond holders, but was unable to bring any action. A Judge Drummond remarked on one case, “If, however, there is a unanimous sentiment in any community against paying such judgments, their collection is impossible. There is a power in an unanimous public opinion that no court can overcome. It is obvious that Watertown cannot pay all and the best thing for both creditor and debtor is to compromise. The complain ant ought to have legal redress, but the court can see no way to give it to him.” The cases against Watertown worked their way through all the lower courts and finally, in October of 1873, the matter went to the U. S. Supreme Court. The court’s' decision in March of 1874 favored the city of Watertown. It stated that the court had no way to force a collection of taxes by a nonexistent government. Fur thermore, the court could not impound the property of any of the citizens of Watertown, since the city’s charter pro

vided against such a seizure of private property to pay the city’s debts. The long drawn-out wrangling creat ed a split citizenship among the people of Watertown. More and more of the intelligent people wanted to settle the matter by some sort of compromise so that the city could resume its normal growth. But there was still a stubborn, narrow-minded, vociferous group which persisted in a complete denunciation of all bond holders. This group organized itself to form the “Union League”. They would hear nothing of compromise, argu ing that the poor man would have to pay. Feeling ran so high between the two fac tions that sometimes the disagreement even broke out into violence. The league at one time brought the public indigna tion down upon itself when one of its members beat up a prominent wealthy citizen, Fred Miller. The league fell more and more into disfavor, and the people began to see that Watertown was only doing itself harm by its prolonged involvement in the bond fight. In January of 1878 a new organization was formed r the city. This organization advocated o;' ring five per cent of the city’s assessed value in pay ment for the outstanding bonds. The feeling for compromise v - held by almost everyone. And by this iime, it was the only practical solution since the interest owed to the bond holders had already surpassed the principal. The bond holders made one last effort. Again the case went to the U. S. Supreme Court in the case of Amy v. City of Watertown. The question this lime was whe ther a process could be served upon a city clerk or some other minor official since Watertown had no mayor. Again in this case Justice Bradley ruled in favor of Watetrown. The decision broke the back of the bond holders. It was clear that their only course of regaining any of their original investment was to accept some compromise. Ephraim Mariner, a Milwau kee lawyer and one of the most persistent bond holders, settled for $15,000 on bonds and accumulated interest that totaled $600,000. Whatever cases were not settled, automatically were nullified after ten years under the terms of the Statute of Lim itations. By 1894 Watertown was able to return 78

to a normal city government. The city had lost money because of the railroads’ failure to pay, but that was not its chief loss. It had been stunted in its growth because of the twenty-year battle over the railroad bonds. During that period few people were willing to settle in a city that had so huge a debt hanging over its head. The stigma of that scandal lived on for years afterward and was largely respon sible for keeping Watertown from real izing its full potential as a commercial center of southern Wisconsin. k. s.

only by the church higherups. In the past, ecumenical councils have formed doctrines such as the infallibility of the pope, church laws such as the one stating that the sacrament of Holy Com munion must be taken once a year, and church regulations such as those govern ing papal elections. This year’s council may also bring about some new things on the New Frontier. But these will be more in the administrative vein than in refer ence to church doctrine. The stand the Catholics now take on divorce and arti ficial birth control, (two much discussed Catholic policies) are expected to remain the same. In all, sixty-nine subjects have been nominated for discussion — every thing from Communism to safe driving. It wSl be up to Pope John to choose those that the council will act upon. Some which may well be discussed are the fol lowing: 1. More power should be given to the bishops around the world so that they do not always have to refer to Rome, even when making the very minutest de cisions. This would expedite carrying out church policies. 2. Authorize the use of married men to serve as “deacons” and carry out cer tain of the functions of the priests. They would not be allowed to conduct a mass or confession, however.

3. Permit Protestant ministers enter ing the Catholic priesthood to remain mar ried. (Many feel the Catholic position on celibacy is weakening, and this may be the start of reform in that direction.)

4. The governing body of the church — the Roman Curia — should be inter nationalized. It now is comprised only of Italians. This does not seem right to some, since there are only 42 million Catholics in Italy, compared with 500 mil lion in other lands. 5. A reformation of the dioceses (dis tricts governed by bishops) has been pro posed. In Italy one diocese, may consist of a few thousand people, whereas the Mexico City diocese consists of 4.8 million people. 6. Church practice should be changed to permit a priest to transfer from one diocese to another if there is a shortage

in the latter. The situation now is such that there is one priest for every 800 Catholics in Italy compared to one for ever}' 10,000 in Latin America. 7. There should be a greater use of the modem local language in church ser vices instead of Latin. The purpose of this is to make the services more mean ingful to those in Africa and Asia whose native tongues have no resemblance to the Greek and Latin-based languages of Europe. (This might also make the ser vice more meaningful to thousands who do speak a language based on Latin or Greek.) 8. Missionaries should be given lati tude in adapting Catholic ceremonies to conform, where possible, to native cus toms. 9. There should be a greater emphasis on modem teaching methods and the study of science in Catholic seminaries. The list of “banned” books (which ulti mately become million copy Tilers) should also be revised. These are some of the "longs that if decided upon will “mode;- :’ the Cath olic Church.

What does all this mean to us? In the first place we must realize that one who firmly believes in Christ Jesus as his Savior and Lord is already a member of the Holy Christian Church, the Commun ion of Saints, and there is no need to try to unify all religious bodies to establish this membership. Secondly, we do not have to modernize our religion. God’s Word remains sure for all time, and as long as our faith is based on the Word, we will not go wrong. Nevertheless, as active Christians, we should concern our selves with the results of this council. There may be results which could affect us, as future ministers, within a few years. K. p. 80

2. The following are the results on questions asked about major points of interest: The Medicare bill for the aged was rejected by 90% of the students; 74% agreed with President John Kennedy on the crack-down on “big steel”, while at the same time 70% of the students favored legislation greatly limiting the power of the labor unions; 64% were against artificial price supports and government handouts to farmers; and 62% favored a nuclear war, if necessary, to uphold the Monroe Doctrine in Cuba. 3. Listed below are the students’ opin ions on individuals: 114 students did not know whether Senator Thurmond was a conservative or liberal, and 7 listed him as a liberal; 12 students listed Barry Goldwater as a liberal and 14 had no idea what he was; Everett Dirksen was given as a liberal by 35 students and 64 did not know his leanings.

On whether they them , Ives felt they were right-wing or left-wing, the students set it down thus: 60% felt they were middle-of-the-roaders; 29% th:tight themselves conservative; and 11% ••.beral. If you will bear with xl : yet for a few minutes, I would like to make just one observation about this poll. Collegians in general like to believe that they are very open-minded and can see both sides of a question without going off the deep end at either extreme. This is backed up by the fact that 60% of the students rated themselves as middle-of-the-roaders and 47% as independents. Yet in the same breath an overwhelming majority voted down the Medicare plan, favored strong restrictions on “big labor”, and expressed its dislike of farm price supports. All three instances show the students to be dyed-inthe-wool conservatives with but a few exceptions. There is only one comment yet that I would like to make. The afternoon we passed out these forms which the students were to fill out, we found 41% of the students were sacking. Now you can draw your own conclusions about this one. G. S. 82

HORACE THE PROUD High in the sky soared Horace, a mighty, brown eagle, who was known throughout the world as the most valiant of the eagles. None could match his mani fold deeds of valor. He, the greatest of all creatures on earth, despised his fellow beings as significant weaklings — as slaves who dared not defy his power. As he gazed down to survey his do main (for he in his pride considered all the earth his domain), he beheld Kale, the most beautiful of the eagles, playing coyly with Clovis, her beloved husband, in their mountain home. As Horace saw the ecstatic bliss of the two young eagles, jealousy welled up within him. He could not understand why Kale, the queen of the eagles, would want to cohabit with ■such a miserable wretch as Clovis rather than with the magnificent Horace. When this flood of jealousy finally overwhelmed Horace, uttering a challenging cry, he swooped down to des Clovis, who had dared to marry the ; beautiful eagle in his realm.

Horace struck him with his mighty wing and pierced his heart with his sharp talons. Then down to the rocky crags of the mountainside the life

less body of Clovis fell. Kale was stricken with grief. As she rushed to the side of her beloved husband and raised heart-rending lamentations over his lifeless body, Horace demanded that she marry him. However, though Horace tried to entice her with glowing promises and intimidate her with appall ing threats, she neither heard nor ans wered him, for she was lost in grief. For days Kale neither ate nor drank anything; she only mourned at her hus band’s side. The little sleep she had was haunted by nightmares. Her beauty fad ed, her body withered, and she died. But to the proud, wicked Horace there was no peace since his boundless pride had been irreparably wounded by Kale. Though he tried to soothe his heart with greater and greater deeds of valor, bitter torments remained within his wretched soul forever. Explanatory note: Horace is the anglicized name of the Egyptian god Horus. Pride such as that displayed by Horace was a common char acteristic of Egyptian Pharaohs, who boasted extravagently about their great victories over lesser nations. While many of these achievements were truly great, some were as hollow as Horace’s victory over Clovis, and others were deliberate fabrications. While Raamses II recorded that his army had won a tremendous vic tory over the Hittite empire, careful his torical research indicates that the Egypt ians barely escaped annihilation in that battle (the battle of Kadesh in 1288 B. C.). Could such “achievements” satis fy the pride of the Egyptian nation?

J. F. K. Harders (a fo believed to be more correct than the . given in the Lutheran Encyclopedia, hich lists Pastor Harders as Gustav A. Harders) was born in Germany in I860. Little information is available about his youth, but it is known that after having decided to enter the holy ministry, Gustav entered Rauhe Haus in Hamburg. He remained there several years until the powers-that-be at Rauhe Haus sent him to serve as spiritual advisor in a school for boys. For some reason young Harders decided that the “old country” was not for him. Then like so many other emigrants from Germany, Gustav came to Milwaukee. He began his “new world” training at our Wis consin Synod Seminary, then located in Milwaukee at 13th and Vine. Because he was a good student and because of the shortage of ministers at that time, Harders crammed hard to finish the course in two years. Gustav found his first real challenge in (The material for this sketch was taken from life when he accepted the call to the Jeru interviews with Pastors H. C. Nitz and K.

organize and build Wisconsin Lutheran High. During this time he became a close friend of August Pieper, John Koehler, Paul Krueger, and the first principal of Wisconsin Lutheran High, Sampe. These five men made up a sort of a literary-plus club. In 1907 Gustav Harders and his family headed for Arizona and the Indian reserva tion. He had contracted some sort of throat ailment. This disease had caused him earli er to go to the Wheatridge Sanatorium in Denver, and was to cause his premature death. With six children already in corpore and the seventh on the way, Gustav and his wife journeyed southward. They set up their first residence ;;! Bowie, Arizona. The first night was spci* outside.

Gustav Harders worked among the Tonto Apaches, who lived off the reservation (in the diaspora). He was quite astonished to find that the Indians on the San Carlos Reservation were still considered prisoners of war, for this was their official status. In this field he labored ten years. While work ing as a traveling missionary in this area, he started Grace Congregation at Tucson and Zion Congregation at Phoenix. The name of Gustav Harders is record ed in the Lutheran Encyclopedia because of his fame as an author. He wrote a total of four major works and a number of little books, which the children could use at Christmas time. Because his mother had told him that only what was printed in Germany was really good, Gustav had all his books published in Germany. His pub lisher was Agentur des Rauhen Houses in Hamburg.

Gustav was suppose ■> be a traveling missionary, but this \v. exactly to his liking. So he moved o '3 lobe, Arizona, where he purchased a ;e.

In Globe he started a mission where most of the people in attendance were In dians. A few white people and a number of Chinese also frequently attended. In gratitude they had the chapel wired for electricity. But in his own way Harders slowly went about the work of the Lord, winning souls for Christ and helping to break down the animosity between the White and Indian. His daughter Irmgard (Mrs. Henry Abel) was the first teacher in their little school.

His first book, Jaalahn,was translated by Pastor H. C. Nitz in 1920 and published in 1953. Wille Wider Wille, Harders’ second book, was translated by Mrs. H. Nitz and has now been published. Pastor Nitz also has translated Harders’ third book, La Paloma, but it has not yet been published. Im Lande des Sternenbaanners, Harders, last book, was lost when it was sent by Harders to Hamburg via a friend in Swit zerland. It was written during the First World War and mail between the United States and Germany had been cut off.

Gustav Harders was in many ways quite unique, and he had a rare gift of winning people’s confidence. He could walk down the street and notice things other people would never have seen. In his rather informal style, no necktie, ten gallon Stetson, and big pipe, G. Harders would discuss salvation, sin, grace, and the possibility of church attendance with any unchurched person he could find. There

The books of Harders are good, but not great. They are interesting reading and contain much practical wisdom in pastoral theology. Harders wrote of Christians and for Christians. It is not fair to compare him with Hemingway as to style and form; however, in respect to content from the Christian’s view, that of Gustav Harders is far more rich than anything in the great G. S. novels of Hemingway. 85

“YOU WILL TAKE THAT UP AT SEM.” An old German Proverb A psychology professor, who was trying to prove that heredity had more to do with shaping an individual’s life than did en vironment, one day tested two youngsters who were reported to be set in life as pessi mist and optimist. The supposed pessimistic youngster the psychologist placed in an observation room full of nice toys. The boy with the opti mistic views he placed in another obser vation room in which stood a huge manure pile. After an hour or so he visited each of the boys. He found the pessimist sitting on the floor and crying his little old heart out. Upon questioning the boy, he discov ered that the boy was crying because he was afraid to use the toys for fear they might break. When he visited the optimistic young lad, he found him eagerly shoveling away at the enormous pile of manure. Upon the psychologist’s questioning of this boy about his shoveling, the boy said, “Well, with all this manure I figured there must be a pony in here somewhere.” Now there is a moral to this story: Even an optimist can dig deep into a pile of dirt and never come up with its source. During this second year in the fifth olympiad of the reign of Kermit Ha-ha-ha habben, several controversial goings-on have been going on. So you say, “Like for instance?” Well, for instance, how come the Dorm Council gets only Democrats to speak for its lectures? I know Democrats work cheap (which is only right), but with all the donkeys running around on campus, we mights as well have one ele phant. (Na ja, Kinder, so geht es in der Well.') Then there is the case of the parking lot. It costs nothing to park your car here, just make sure, though, that you have paid your sixteen dollars for regis tration fee (to cover undisclosed expendi tures) before you set your wheels down there. While on the subject of the park ing lot, by the by, mention should be made of the ashes, soot, and other debris which

belches out of our unscreened Mt. Vesuvi us incinerator and drops all over our shiny cars. Is that a fac? Yes, it is a fact. Well, Rub a dub dub, only one fits in a tub. And how does that new outdoor canteen near the football field strike you? Or rather where does it strike you? What does it look like to you? Why don’t you submit your opinions to this mag, and we could see if some sort of nickname could not be worked out for this structure. I think it should be dedicated to the patron of earthquakes, and half-moons should be cut in the doors. Not so as to appear to complain all the time, still I find that: there are a few things with which I am at variance. For instance: 1. Class after class passes down old tests. This is indeed a fine college custom, and one practiced pretty well all over. But lately things have not been run ning so smoothly. Yes, the tests and ques tions are the same, but so-aeone has chan ged the answers, especially on the tests be tween 1931 and 1947. Also there is a nasty little rumor that the varsity schedule will be dropped next year if we do not have better attendance at intramural games. A few fortnights ago the N.W.C. varsi ty played a football game over at Milton. Admission was a dollar, which is really not excessive if you are the one doing the collecting. But a dollar to watch a football game being played on the back forty! Milton could have had a better field if it had rented a sheep pasture. Of course, they would have had to learn to get along with the sheep and vice versa. The refereeing was also a sight to be hold. Let us just say that it left something to be desired. But what you don’t all see when you don’t have a gun! I do not know if you are a car enthusi ast or not, but our parking lot this year has several foreign faces. There is one Saab (pronounced sob as in sob story). There is also a Volvo on the lot. Volvos are made in Sweden by Japanese.« 1. There are also a few Volkswagens which are foreign but may have a hard time qualifying as cars. 86

Talk about carrying things to the ex tremes. You undoubtedly have heard about the book, “Around the World in Eighty Days”. And you probably saw the movie by the same name. And you may have sung the song “Around the World in Eighty Days”. You could even have cheated on an assignment and read the comic book. Your little brothers and sisters (even you) may have had the chance to play the game. Well, bing bang the whole gang. Now you can take the trip, either via “Care” pack ages, or by installments in “Wheatie” box es, or else in a racing submarine. Up in the etheral regions of third floor lives one, Norm Kuske, smoke jumper. As a reward for his excellent service the U. S. government gave Norm one of its used parachutes, a chic little, candy striped number. Norm brought it to N.W.C. and hung it on the ceiling to help enliven the somewhat drab, eight year atmosphere. Tutor, relying on the old crutch that it was too drastic an innova • and “Look what happened to Socrates Ac Norm take it down. It was probob • 'n retaliation for

putting his Lark up on blocks. Hunting season is now closed. The collegians can remove the guns from their lockers and take them home. This hunting season stirred up many enthusiasts, yes even a spastic or two. The game kill was below average. Among the objects bagged this year were several pheasants, squirrels, one airedale, an odd assortment of per sonal appendages, and one pre-season goose. May This House Be Safe From Tigers.

SpaJ 1 FOOTBALL TROJANS FAIL TO GAIN WINNING SEASON Neither the football music, arranged for NWC 0 Concordia 9 the band by Professor Lehman, nor an NWC 27 Eureka 7 enthusiastic student body seemed to be NWC 7 Milton 14 of much help. This victory was only the NWC 7 Bethel 13 second for Concordia over the Trojans in NWC 7 Lakeland 26 20 years. Trojans Suffer First Defeat After winning the first two games of Win First Conference Game The Trojans got back to their winning the season, the Trojans lost to their old rivals, the Cougars of Concordia College, ways on the hot afternoon of October 13 River Forest, by a score of 9-0. The game by beating Eureka College, in Eureka, Illi was played in Watertown on October 6. nois, 27-7. This was the first meeting of Concordia gained all their yardage on the the two schools, which are both a part of ground. They scored a TD in the first the new Gateway Conference. This was half on a 25 yard run by Larry Brose and also NWC’s first conference game. Although the Chicago Tribune had added 3 points late in the game on a field goal. picked the Trojans to win by only a few The Trojans were outclassed and lost points, they walked off with a decisive the game mostly because of crucial errors victory. NWC scored late in the first quarter 3 out of 25 Trojan passes were inter cepted, and 2 out of 4 fumbles were lost on a pass from Lynn Schroeder to Ron to the Cougars. Twice the Concordia line Koepsell. In the second quarter Bob Bit and pass defense stopped NWC after they ter ran 15 yards for a TD, and in the had advanced beyond the 30 yard marker. third quarter he scored again on a 28 87

yard run. Dave Toepel also scored for the Trojans in the third quarter. Ralph Scharf kicked 3 extra points.

who showed up. Of special note in this game was the appearance of Erhard Opsahl, who only 4 weeks previous had suffered a dislocated hip and was sup posed to spend at least 2 weeks flat on his back and be out for the rest of the season.

Unsuccessful Against Milton Boasting a 3-1 record, the Trojans came out on the short end of a 14-7 score in a game against Milton College, at Milton, on Saturday evening, October 20. It gave NWC a 1-1 conference record, while Milton remained undefeated in season play. The Trojans were given positive support by the cheerleaders and cars of NWC students who traveled down to Milton. The Trojans got off to an early 7-0 lead when Toepel went over from the 5 and Scharf added the extra point. Min utes later, the Wildcats tied the score and the game remained deadlocked until Milton scored again in the final quarter. The Trojans played a good game throughout, and the reversal of only a few of the many questionable official calls could have meant another NWC victory.

Lose Season Finale The Trojans lost their final game of the season on November 3 against Lake land College. The game, played in Watertown, gave NWC a 3-4 record for the sea son and a 1-2 conference record. The Muskies got off to an early 13-0 lead by scoring twice in the first quarter. Then the Trojan line got tough and held Lakeland until they scored again late in the third quarter. Late in the fourth quarter the Muskies took advantage of two Trojan errors: an intercepted pass and a fumble recovered on the 9 yard line. Four downs later, they scored again. The Trojans then took the kickoff and marched 94 yards to score. A pass to Ron Hahm and two to Karl Gurgel brought NWC down to the 1. Then Lynn Schroeder dove over center Norm Kuske for the TD. Scharf kicked the extra point.

Trojans Upset At Ho ceoming The annual homccoi ng game, played against Bethel on Octol; 27, turned out to be a disappointment the Trojan fans and NWC alumni. Th. iootball Trojans lost their first homece ng game since 1949 — their second i :.;story. Bethel got off to an ly lead by cap italizing on a Trojan fu-eble and scoring the first time they had the ball. The extra point kick was blocked Then the NWC line got tough and several times stopped scoring threats. The first half ended with the Royals out front, 6-0. The Trojans started the second half with more pep than they’ve ever shown and late in the third quarter scored on a lateral to Ron Koepsell after Bitter had put the ball into scoring pos ition. Scharf kicked the extra point. NWC led, 7-6. But a kickoff and 3 downs later the Royals played the kind of football that has made them a top-notch team and scored what proved to be the winning touchdown. The final score was Bethel 13, NWC 7. Nevertheless, credit must be given to the Trojans who hit harder than they’ve ever hit, to the student body who spent more than 2,000 man hours decorating the campus, and to the many alumni

Five yard gain by Toepel In addition to Hahm and Gurgel, Toe pel and Bitter made fine gains. Seniors Martin Hahm, Kent Schroeder, Dan Pautz, Norm Kuske, Harold Sturm and Bill Meier played their last game. Senior Bill Gabb was sidelined earlier in the season. Lakeland was, without doubt, the dirt iest team the Trojans played this year, and several of their players had to be ejected. Looking Back In general, football coach Len Umnus was quite pleased with the way his team 89

performed throughout the season. He thought the fellows “were a good bunch of fighters”. He added, “The kids played real good ball for what we had”.

Coach Umnus agreed that the game against Bethel was the best one of the season, even though we did lose it. Coach didn’t offer any excuses for the last three losses, but simply stated that the opposing teams were a little better, heavier, and stronger. He also expressed a hope that the rumors, indicating that some replace ments for our line will be coming to NWC next year, prove to be true.

The Cuban situation has been on ev eryone’s mind for some time. We’ve been hearing a lot of comment on the action taken by our government. Most of the comment has been in praise of President Kennedy for taking firm and decisive ac tion on Cuba. We were glad to see Presi dent Kennedy stand up to Khrushchev and his cold war tactics. There are those, though, who say that President Kennedy should have acted much sooner, before the Cuban situation developed into such a crisis. Things seem to have settled down a little now. But the danger is not past! Promises don’t mean too much when we are dealing with men liL Khrushchev and Castro and their communistic system. We have no assurance that the situation won’t erupt again into a very oal threat to the peace and our safety.

■

We have men in Washington to whom we have entrusted our lives and the safe ty of our country. But, being human, their powers are limited. We ourselves can do just as much as they to keep our country safe. Each one of us can pray to God for the safety of our country. We can pray for wisdom and discretion in our leaders.

■

< ■

Prayer is powerful! The sincere pray ers of Christians will be heeded by God. He has promised that he will hear our prayers. Each one of us has at some time experienced the swift results of prayer. Prayer can help us in this danger too.

«V

During this Christmas season let it be our daily prayer that God look with favor on our country which we love so dearly and deliver us from the dangers which threaten us. K. S.

Greek music at the time of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle was quite different from the music of our present age. Today the most skilled of our musicians would not be able to read a page of Greek music unless he made a special study of the Greeks’ system of music notation.

The Greeks had two systems of music notation, one for instrumental music and the other for vocal music. Both of them consisted of Greek letters, which were sometimes in their normal position, but often backwards, sideways, or upside down. Moreover, the scales which were in use

during Plato’s lifetime contained micro tones (musical intervals smaller than half tones). The enharmonic tetrachord, which was the basic component of these scales, consisted of two quarter tones and a major third. Although (according to Aristoxenus) scales containing these micro tones were the only kind in use during Plato’s lifetime, these enharmonic scales were dis placed by chromatic and diatomic scales soon after Aristotle’s death. Moreover, while we have only two modes, the m a j o r and the m i n o r, the Greeks did not restrict themselves in this way. At Plato’s time the Mixolydian, Hyperlydian, Ionian, Dorian, Phygian, and Lydian modes were in general use. The instruments of ancient Greece were of three kinds: stringed instruments, wind instruments, and percussion instru ments. The most popular stringed instru ment was the lyre, especially the cithara, which is a type of lyre. Although these instruments originally had only four strings, the number gradually increased until some citharae had as many as eigh teen strings. The most popular wind instruments were the syrinx and the aulos. The syrinx was made by tying together a number of natural reeds of varying lengths. Since the god Pan was supposedly the first to make a syrinx, these instruments were also called Panpipes. The aulos was some thing like our flute, except that it could be played more loudly than our flute. More over, a tongue (glossa) was an integral part of the aulos. The exact function of these tongues is not known. However, it is certain that the aulos could not be play ed without them, for Demades, an Atheni an orator, said that his countrymen were comparable to auloi in that “they were good for nothing without their tongues.” , The Greeks also had a trumpet (sal pinx). However, this trumpet, being a natural horn, had no valves. Consequent ly, it could play only the tones in the har monic series of its fundamental. The chief virtue of this instrument was its ability to make loud noises. Therefore, it was used chiefly as a military instrument. In the line of percussion instruments, the Greeks had long cylindrical drums and kettledrums. Also, they used small bells as percussion instruments. However, not much is known about these bells, since our only knowledge of them comes from

a few vague references to them by Thucy dides, Aristophanes, and a few other Greek writers. However, although the music notation, the scales, the modes, and the musical in struments of the Greek have become anti quated, the Greeks’ conception of the func tion of music in their culture was suprisingly modem. According to Aristotle, mu sic had four functions: First, it provided relaxation and amusement for the mass of citizens. Secondly, it acted as a cathartic in that it purified the soul of sordid and base emotions and desires. Thirdly, it was an educating agent (i. e., the study of mu sic was a means of attaining virtue). Fin ally it provided intellectual entertainment for the cultured. Among the common people in ancient Greece, music was chiefly a means of amusement and relaxation. The average Greek shepherds and art Wans toiled indus triously at their respective tasks. Conse quently, they were quite appy when they could take part in a re . ous festival, at which music was alway; ; resent to amuse them and help them n : . The chief religion >■ olid ays were the four Sacred Games: t: Olympic, the Py thian, the Nemean, an he Isthmian. At these four festivals { > he from every'vatch the best of where in Greece came the Greeks contend for izes in athletics, poetry, and music. The most important of these Sacred Games, the Olmypic games, took place in the country of Elis near the town of Olym pia. Traditionally, the Olympic games were held in 776 B. C. From that time on, they were held regularly after every four year interval. These games gained such signi ficance in Greek culture that the Greeks began to use the Olympiad as a unit of time. 2 Since the great event at the Olympic games was the Pentathlon, which consist ed of contests in leaping, running, dart throwing, wrestling, and boxing, music held a secondary place at these games. However, from frequent references in ancient authors, it is evident that contests in music were held at these games, if not regularly, at least sporadically. Burney adduces the following proofs from ancient authors that contests in mu sic were held at the Olympic games: Pausanias says that Pythocritus of Sicyon played six times upon the 92

flute during the exercise of the Pensaeans in 591 B.C., Eurylochus, the vic tathon, at Olympia; and in testimony torious general, assumed control of the of the skill and abilities which he Pythian games and expanded them great manifested in his art, a pillar and ly.

By far the the Olympic games. In the first kind the most important local festivals were the musician played the flute (i.e., the aulos) Greater Panathenaea, which was held or the trumpet as accompaniment to ath every five years, and the Lesser Panathen letic events.

Another way in which music provided at the Olympic games for ten times in amusement for the Greeks was in connec succession. Music played a more prominent roll tion with the drama. Music had played a in the Pythian games. Originally, these prominent role even in the earliest vest games had been celebrated every ninth iges of drama.

lees. Moreover, in order that dialogue might be held, a solitary actor, who was not a member of the chorus, was assigned several speeches. From then on until the time of Aeschylus Greek drama consisted of dialogue between a solitary actor (the protagonist) and the chorus.G Aeschylus altered this custom by using a second actor (the deuteragonist) and later a third actor (the tritagonist). He even wrote a drama requiring four actors, but this drama was not performed until after his death. Music was an important part of these dramas. There were several lyrical sec tions (hymns to various gods), which the chorus, while dancing, sang to the accom paniment of the aulos. Whether the dia logues were spoken or sung is a debatable question. The fact that the dialogue was written in the form of poetry indicates that it may have been sung, perhaps in a style similar to that of the recitative in the operas of Jacopo Peri and Giulio Caccini (whose operas were in fact in spired by Greek drama). However, this cannot be said with certainty. Music played an important part at private gatherings also. At feasts, for ex ample, Charles Gulick tells us that after the meal was eaten, “the company sang in unison a paean accompanied by a flute player, who was always present on these occasions.”7 After the paean had been sung, the symposium commenced, in which, as the Greek word symposion suggests, the com pany drank together. Drinking contests were held, in which the contestants were obliged to empty their cups at a single draught. Moreover, the members of the company exercised their wits and held enlightening discussions. One of the sources of entertainment at these symposia was the singing of selections from lyric poets. Since practi cally every educated Greek of the fifth and fourth centuries knew how to play the lyres and was acquainted with the chief lyric poets, everyone present at the symposium was obliged to sing and play for the company. At first, symposia were orderly affairs. However, as time went on, they gradually developed into orgies at which the sweet sounds produced by professional lyre and aulos players were lost in the din of drunken revelry.

Finally, music provided amusement and relaxation in connection with danc ing. For dancing, two auloi were played at the same time by one player. Flow this was accomplished is impossible to deter mine, but that it was done is evident from paintings on vases. Since dancing was considered an hon orable exercise, music for dancing pro vided amusement for the aristocrat as well as the artisan. Such eminent per sonages as Plato, Sophocles, and Socrates were dancing enthusiasts. Catharsis, the second function of mus ic mentioned by Aristotle, is, in Aristotel ian philosophy, a purification of the soul of base desires and emotions by means of art. By “soul” Aristotle did not mean the Platonic soul, which pre-existed before it was imprisoned in a body and contin ued to exist after death Aristotle’s con ception of the soul, which the philosopher set forth in the second book of his De Anima, has been concisely expressed by Dur ant in the following way: ‘The soul is the entire vital principle oi' any organism, the sum of its powers id processes.”,, >n eluded that Consequently, Aristotle since the soul of man is vital principle of its body, “it indubita! follows that the soul is inseparable mi its body.”10 Therefore, since the sos the insepar able vital principle of tb body, catharsis, which is a purification the soul, is a purification of the verv essence of the material human being. This purification took place in the fol lowing way: ,, After an Athenian woman had been insulted by her snobbish neigh bor, she was filled with mortification, in dignation, and hatred for the snobbish boor who had insulted her. However, since she was too dignified to do anything be sides trying to exalt her nasal cavity to a higher elevation than that of her neighbor, her suppressed indignation and hatred welled up within her to an unbearable de gree. Fortunately, before these emotions, defying all restraints, burst forth and caus ed desolation on every hand, this Athenian woman insulted her neighbor, but this neighbor, not at all restricted by a sense of dignity, bombarded the snob with the most effective vituperations and the most ingenious, scurrilous vilifications ever ut tered. Meanwhile, a certain Athenian wo man in the audience was sharing hatred which the abused neighbor felt toward the 94

snob, and she was taking malicious delight in the fact that the snob was getting what she deserved. Thus the malignant emo tions of the Athenian woman passed away, as Durant cleverly states, “in the harmless form of theatrical excitement.” 12 That Aristotle thought that music, as well as drama, had a purgative effect can be proved from the following passage: For feelings such as pity and fear, or again, enthusiasm, exist very strongly in some souls, and have more or less influence over all. Some persons fall into a religious frenzy, whom we see as a result of sacred melodies - when they have used the melodies that ex cite the soul to mystic frenzy - restor ed as though they had found healing and purgation. Those who are influ enced by pity or fear, and every emo tional nature, must have a like experi ence, and others in so far as each is susceptible to such emotions, and all are in a manner pui . <! and their soul is lightened. ,:t As this passage si ■ s, Aristotle con sidered pity, fear, and ihusiasm undesir able emotions of whi- ■ ihe soul should be purged. Music was a . nt by which this catharis could be eh cl. If a person whose soul was char; with religious enthusiasm were to lisu a hymn typical of German Pietism a ■ this hymn were to effect him deeply .usical excitement would provide an oui . for his religious enthusiasm and purge .1 of this emotion. The third important function of music in Greek culture was its function as an ed ucating agent. That music was an integral part of the education of an Athenian lad is demonstrable from the fourteenth chap ter of Plato’s Protagoras. In a lengthy speech Protagoras explained that a boy’s education began as soon as he was able to speak. This early education was an infor mal education by the father, mother, and nurse, who taught the boy when he did not learn his lesson well. Later, they sent the boy to school, where the teacher taught him the alphabet and the art of playing the cithara. The fact that Plato mentioned in the same breath the fundamentals of reading and writing and the fundamentals of music shows how important the study of music was in Greek education. Today we would never say that children enter the first grade to learn reading, writing, and the art of playing the piano. Yet the words 95

which Plato put into the mouth of Prota goras indicate that it was not unusual to speak of Greek children as going to school to learn the alphabet and the art of play ing the cithara. After the boy had learned the funda mentals, he then studied enlightening po etry, memorized it, and sang it while ac companying himself on the cithara. Again music played a prominent role, second on ly to the poetry itself. In order to understand why music had such a prominent role in Greek education, we must understand what the purpose of education was, according to Greek thought. According to Protagoras and other sophists the purpose was to instruct men in civic virtue in order that they might become good citizens. Moreover, Socrates, having proved that virtue and knowledge are identical, asserted that virtue was some thing that one could learn. Consequently, he considered virtue the proper end of edu cation. This opinion was not peculiar to Socrates, but it was the expression of the sentiment that was prevalent among the Greeks at his time. Music, according to Greek thought, was especially qualified as a means of instruct ing men in virtue because of the moral value which the Greeks attributed to mu sic. As Stanford and Forsyth say: The Greek writers were all agreed that music had a serious moral vSue. They did not say vaguely, as we do, that music was a beautiful thing and had an ennobling effect on the human mind. On the contrary they said that, according to the way in which it was written ,it was actually good or bad; that it had a definitely good or bad in fluence on the development of perso nal character; and that therefore the musical means employed was a mat ter of the most lively concern to edu cationists and statesmen. 14 The Greeks thought that even the vari ous modes and rhythms had specific ethi cal powers inherent in them. For exam ple, while the Phrygian supposedly arous ed enthusiasm, the Lydian had an ener vating effect. Other modes tended to make the individual dissolute, gloomy, or active. Consequently, the Greeks thought that if a child were exposed to music that had vir tuous ethical qualities inherent in them, the child would attain a virtuous charac ter. Therefore, the Greeks valued music

highly as an educating agent. In Politics Aristotle gave expression to the prevailing notion that a proper musical education was able to give children virtuous characters. In this treatise he stated: Since . .. virtue has to do with feeling delight and love and hatred rightly, there is obviously nothing that is more needful to learn and become habituated to than to judge correctly and to delight in virtuous characters and noble actions; but rhythms and melodies contain representations of anger and mildness, and also of courage and temperance and all their opposites and the other moral qualities, that most closely correspond to the true natures of these qualities. 15 Therefore, by studying music a child could become thoroughly acquainted with the virtues and opposite vices through musical representations that closely corresponded with the true nature of these qualities, Then, having become acquainted with the virtues and vices through the medium of music, he would be very well equipped to judge correcdy virtuous characters and noble actions. Moreover, if the child learn ed to appreciate music that contained re presentations of virtuous characters and noble actions, he would at the same time leam to delight in genuine characters and noble actions. As a result, he would learn to feel love and hatred rightly, and thus he would acquire a virtuous character. Although Aristotle’s conception of the purpose of education was quite idealistic, Plato s conception of the purpose of education was loftier than that of any other Greek. To Plato education was the process by which the soul recollected the changeless archetypal patterns of the spiritual world, 1C the only sphere where reality exists. Although the soul had possessed a perfect knowledge of these archetypal pattems while existing in the spiritual world, this knowledge had been lost when the soul was imprisoned in this realm of matter. Through the process of education, the soul strove to regain this knowledge. Music played an important part in the Platonic process of recollection. As Oliver Strunk states, music was “to help in building up a harmonious personality and in calming human passions." 17 Music was to build up a harmonious personality in order that the soul might be in perfect rapport with the true spiritual world. It was to

calm human passions in order that the body — the prison of the soul — might not provide an obstacle to the soul in its attempt to regain its knowledge of the true spiritual world. For this reason music was definitely not excluded from the education in his ideal state, as set forth in the Republic. However, he excluded several aspects of music which he thought would militate against the purpose of bringing the soul into harmony with the spiritual world. For example, he excluded instrumental music, for he believed that a melody was not coin plete unless it was “composed of three tilings, the words, the harmony, and the rhythm.” 18 Moreover, the music was not to be an arbitrary display of virtuosity, but the music was to be such that it united harmoniously with the words and joined with the words in singleness of purpose The opera of the first hal i'of the eighteenth century, in which the xt was considered of secondary importance and brilliant arias were the central attrac ion, would have had no place in Plato - Republic. For the ideal condition was thr the rhythm and harmony follow the <ds and not the words these.” Moreover, Plato exc .ded several modes from his musical education because he believed that they would destroy balance and harmony within the soul The Mixolydian and the Hyperlydian were excluded because they were suitable only for mournful melodies and dirges. The Lydian and Ionian modes Plato rejected because they, being the “soft and convival harmonies >” 20 were conducive to softness, drunkeness, and sloth. What Plato wanted was a mode that would “imitate the utterances of a brave man who is engaged in warfare. . - meeting wounds or death.” 21 In addition, he wanted a mode which would imitate “a man engaged in works of peace, not enforced but voluntary, either trying to persuade somebody of something, ... or yielding to another who is teaching him.” 22 Plato depicted Glaucon as suggesting the Phrygian and Dorian modes to Socrates as modes which would meet these qualifications, but Socrates merely replied that he was not acquainted with them. Aris totle later criticized Plato for admitting the Phrygian mode into his musical education. However, since Plato depicted Glaucon, and not Socrates, as suggesting these two modes and since Socrates did 96

not expressly accept Glaucon’s suggestion, perhaps Plato was not entirely satisfied with even the Phrygian and Dorian modes, but accepted them only because they were the best obtainable in this imperfect world of matter. Finally, Plato, like modern conserva tives who are appalled by the dissonances and rhythmic irregularities of Schoenberg and Stravinsky, advocated simplicity in music. Consequently, Plato banned from his ideal republic all “makers of the trigonon, the pectis, or any other instrument which has many strings.” 2;, Likewise, the aulos was banned on the grounds that it was too complex. Only the cithara, the lyre, and the syrinx gained admission. As I have pointed out already, Aristotle concurred in the prevailing notion that a musical education would help a child ac quire a virtuous character. However, for Aristotle the chief reason for a musical education was that the child might learn to derive intellectual entertainment from it. As he stated in his Politics: Hence our predeces included music in education not : a necessity, . . nor as useful, . . . nor et again as we pursue gymnastics • the sake of health and strength . it remains therefore that it is i ! as a pastime in leisure, which is Icntlv the pur pose for which peopk actually intro duce it, for they rank it as a form of pastime that they think proper for all free men. 24 In order to understnad what Aristotle meant when he said that music was a pas time in leisure, we must understand the distinction which Aristotle drew between amusement (paedia) and entertainment or pastime (diagoge). Aristotle defined amusement as mere relaxation from previ ous toils or hardships. To draw an exam ple from modem times, if a man who had just come home after working for eight hours at a factory would throw himself on the sofa and recuperate by listening to a radio concert featuring Beethoven’s Sym phony No. 5, Aristotle would have said that for this man Beethoven’s symphony was nothing more than “a way of curing the pain due to laborious work.” 2.-, On the other hand, Aristotle defined entertainment as the proper pursuit of a man at leisure. A man at leisure is a man who is not engaged in any useful pursuit, t-e., a pursuit in which a man “busies 97

himself for the sake of some end as not being in his possession.” 2n Since the man at leisure is a man who is not engaged in a useful pursuit, he is free to cultivate in tellectual and cultural pursuits as ends in themselves for the pleasure they bring. Consequently, since these are the proper pursuits of a man who is free to cultivate them, they have been called the liberal pursuits. Even the factory worker whom I have mentioned could have engaged in these pursuits when he was at leisure. However, he employed his leisure in the useful pur suit of resting from toil, for he listened to music solely to attain renewed vigor and a revitalized bodily constitution—use ful ends not in his possession. Conse quently, he was not engaging in music as a liberal pursuit. However, if this same worker, while listening to Beethoven’s Sym phony No. 5, had listened attentatively, enjoyed the fine aesthetic qualities of the music, and critically compared that ren dition with other renditions which he had heard, then he would have been employ ing his leisure to pursue intellectual pleas ures derived from music as ends in them selves. Consequently, for him music would function as a liberal pursuit. This was the prime function of music in Greek culture according to Aristotle. For this reason a child was to learn how to play simple musical instruments such as the cithara. Through such training a child would become better acquainted with mu sic, and as a result, he would be in a better position to derive intellectual pleasure from it. However, Aristotle thought that the cultivation of music as a profession was a vulgar pursuit on the grounds that pro fessional musicians did not cultivate music in order to derive intellectual pleasure from it, but in order to earn a living and win prizes at contests. Perhaps Aristotle’s criticism was just, for it often happened that a musician sacrificed true aesthetic quality for grossly exorbitant virtuosity. Aristotle regarded the professional musici ans of his day as a philharmonic enthusi ast of our day regards certain popular per formers who disfigure their musical per formances with gross excesses in order that more people might buy their records. The Aristotelian conception that music functions as a proper pursuit for the man at leisure has been very influential in Wes-

. i

tern civilization: Except during the Middle Ages, men of culture have been continual ly defending the study of music and the other liberal arts on the grounds that they are pursuits proper for the man at leisure. Moreover, men of culture have been fol lowing Aristotle’s precepts by using music as a pastime in leisure purely for intellec tual pleasure. Mozart, for example, wrote his last three symphonies for no apparent purpose other than for the intellectual pleasure of creating works of art. Truly, Aristotle’s conception of music as a liberal pursuit is the most significant Greek con tribution to Western civilization in the field of music.

TO JULAYNE In the dead of the night on a bleak Christ mas Eve When envious clouds steal the moonlight away, The furious winds inexorably chase All remnants of life from the face of the earth. 98

Oh, where is the wolf that should dwell with the lamb? The leopard that ought with the kid to re cline? No bear can be seen that will share his supplies With the hungriest heifer, most piteously lean. The shadow that covers the breadth of the earth Permits no reflection of Christ’s bounteous light: The shades of pretense in society’s forms, So copious in cant, but so lacking in love. But deep in the heart of a meek little child The gloom of the darkness is not to be seen. She looks to her Lord with unquestioning trust And silently heralds the kingdom of God. DANIEL ZIMMERMANN, ’63

An Apology Uio Xmas Unmoved by tongue of Canaan, Greece, and Rome; so, thrice its utt’rance changed And free escaped, was quite content to have but token place in ponderous lexicons.

II And why now talk of letters, sounds, and scarce used X? And why such question boldly put at Yuletide, when ’tis better of the tree to speakOf lights, wreath, holly, mistletoe, and mirth? I answer thus: Each year the zealot calls the red-green banner forth to bid the wayward son return. “Put Christ in Christmas!” is his shout, and justly so, But then with questioned right he boldly adds, “Wipe out the blasph’mous short’ ning of the sacred feast; The Devil has his Xmas, we our Christmastide to keep!” To him I just so boldly make reply: First judge not rashly without • knowledge, lest Unstriv’n for condemnation likewise judge!

Those who resign themselves shortage. This shortage concerns all of us. to being spectators often feel that they As Christians it is our responsibility to do want to contribute in some positive man whatever we can to help alleviate this ner also. A solution to this problem is al- problem. The question then is, what can 100

we do? In answer to this question, the stu dents, under the auspices of the Dormitory Council, have initiated the following pro gram, whereby members of the Wisconsin Synod are made aware of some of the ba sic facts concerning Northwestern College. Briefly, this program consists of the fol lowing: an opening speech, a collection of slides narrated by a student, a closing speech, and finally a question period. (It should be made clear that this program is only one of the many possible ways by which prospective students may become

more familiar with Northwestern College.) We definitely feel that part of the existing problem is due to the fact that too many of our lay people are relatively uninformed about the purpose, locality, and physical make-up of our college. The program is designed to bring the people to “their” school by means of words and pictures. In order to let pastors and their re spective congregations know that this pro gram exists, a form letter has been draft ed which reads as follows: Northwestern College Watertown, Wisconsin October 11, 1962

Dear Pastor We are sure that you are aware of the acute manpower shortage which is plaguing our Wisconsin Synod at the present time. As students at Northwestern College, we have also been made aware of this shortage and wish to do as much as possible within our province to help alleviate it. The area in which we feel we can be of greatest service lies in making our people (both the parents and young people) more famih 1 with Northwestern, its life, and its purpose. As a result, the Dormitory Con ;' lias developed a program, approved and supervised by the faculty, which is being made available to congregations, church groups, youth rallies, etc. The prograir resented by three NWC students, is divided into three parts. The first portion h n introductory speech which states the purpose of the pro gram, gives a brier iory of our school, reminds all of the need for pastors (and teachers), points in ur privilege in serving our LORD, and closes with a list of qualifications which n interested person must fill. This talk lasts about ten to twelve minutes. Th second portion consists of a series of selected slides which depict Northwestern College as it is in 1962. There are shots of interest to every one — from concerned mothers to prospective students. A running narrative, adding a personal touch, accompanies the slides. This portion of the program usually lasts no longer than thirty minutes, but, of course, it varies with each presentation. The last portion of the program is a closing talk which approaches our school from the scholastic angle. Emphasis is placed on the fact that this is the only channel into the Seminary. Finally we close with a question period. Af ter the program, interested people will have an opportunity to pick up various brochures about the college which we will bring along. If you would like entertainment for a social evening, or if you would like a longer program for a youth rally, the college has a student quartet, an octet or glee club, and a pep band, any of which could supplement your individual pro gram. The purpose of this letter, of course, is to acquaint you with our program and to offer you our services. We hope you will be interested. We would appreci ate you filling out the enclosed questionaire and returning it to us as soon as pos sible. Thank you. Yours in Christ, The Dormitory Council Northwestern College This letter is available to all students who wish to take it home with them to their pastor. Several copies have been sent 101

to Milwaukee, and the response has been very good. Many of the pastors have remarked that they felt that such a program

should have been in existence much soon er. Now that it has been initiated it should be utilized as much as possible. Not only does it make a direct appeal to the younger potential students, but it also affords the adults the opportunity to be come more familiar with one of the schools that they support with their mission offer ings and other gifts. The program itself offers the students here a chance to do something positive. Very often it is heard that the goal of the Holy Ministry seems remote and far dis tant. This is often given as a reason when the question about lethargic attitudes is asked. Going to different congregations and meeting their pastors gives the stu dents a chance to meet and talk to men who are active in the career toward which we are all striving. In the past the pastors have received the fellows very cordially and stimulated and rejuvenated lagging spirits.

This program also presents an oppor tunity for the individual to develop his skill of self-expression. The Dean goes over our speeches making corrections and adding constructive suggestions. Speaking before people usually takes a certain amount of practice before one develops his style. Here is an opportunity to start ac quiring this experience and skill. We hope that after you have read this article you will consider a few of the fol lowing things. If you are interested in helping out, get in touch with us. When you go home you might remember to men tion the program to your pastor. Or you could tell him to write to us for informa tion. You may want to suggest that we tell your congregation about your home away from home, “their" school at Watertown, Wisconsin. FR.'vD KOGLER, ’63

Truthfully I wasn’t too happy when I heard the decree of Caesar Augustus con cerning the big census. No one liked it much. It meant a trip (in some cases quite long) with all the preparation and inconvenience that go with it. For weeks I fumed about it; in fact a whole month had gone by before I had quieted down completely. But just when I had resigned myself to the idea that there was nothing that could be done, a messenger came to my village with news that changed the whole picture. His news concerned everyone that was of the house of David. Someone in Bethlehem, he said, had ingeniously con ceived a plan that was to change the com ing ordeal into a festivity. It was to be come an enormous family reunion. We all were to bring gifts to exchange, while the women were to bake goodies of all sorts. The people of Bethlehem would decorate their homes inside and out. The climax would come on the evening of the twenty-fourth of December. With a festival like this to look for ward to, the time of preparation passed quickly, and soon I found myself in Bethle hem in the midst of the good cheer. It was every bit as enjoyable as I had ex-

pected. All the homes ivx the town were open to guests, and ev- yone was enjoy ing himself singing, playing games, ex changing gifts, eating, drinking, or just conversing. The people, both hosts and guests, were so friendly and considerate that one could feel a spirit of good will in the very town. Around midnight I broke away from the group that I had been with all eve ning. I just wanted to wander through the town by myself and think about all the things that I was experiencing and at the same time see what other groups were doing. House after house that I passed was lit up with song and laughter. Be fore I knew it, I had wandered to the out skirts of town. I had just decided to turn back, when I noticed that there was light in a nearby stable. They’re even celebrating in the stables, I thought. I had to investigate. As I drew near, I was struck by the silence. No singing, no laughing; just some cattle lowing. This can’t be a celebration, after all, I thought as I approached. When I got close enough to see what was going on I was amazed. There in the stable was a young woman holding a new born babe. Net to her stood an older man, 102

and in front of her, on their knees, was a group of shepherds worshipping the babe. I inched over to the nearest worshipper and asked what this meant. He explained and I fell to my knees. The Savior of the world! God’s only son a gift to sinful man! I wanted to tell every one. The shepherds felt the same, and when we had worshipped, we joined forces to tell the whole town.

Entering house after house we told ev eryone in sight. But to our dismay, they were not interested. They were celebrating, they said, and had no time to go poking around in stables. Somehow all the festivities that I saw as I wandered back to the stable took on a new appearance. Great as they were, I could not help wishing that they had fal len on another day. r. c.

The Black and Red offers John Trapp its congratulations upon the announcement that his poem, To Rembrandt, has been selected to appear in the Annual Anthology of College Poetry. The Anthology is a compilation of the finest poetry written by the college men and women of America. TO REMBRANDT You saw your hair, Long and unkempt. You reproduced The glint in your eye. You captured the light That fell on your cheek And saved it for posterity. You left behind The shadow and light That vivify Your lips and chin. You saved it all For me, my friend. I’m graeful, Mr. Van Rijn. John Trapp, ’66

ALL-AMERICAN BOY The nine o’clock tardy bell rang just as Bill Anders, all-American boy, slipped into his seat in the rear of the history classroom. Jerry Scott whipped past him and slammed into the seat in front of Bill. The class chuckled, but the instructor me chanically moved from row to row, hand ing out the semester exams. As the last test paper reached Bill, Jerry was already starting to write. Bill paused for a few seconds in seeming con templation and then started to copy his friend’s answers. No amateur cheater, Bill skillfully disguised his plagiarism and even improved some of Jerry’s work. Two hours later the boys handed in their papers and walked out of the room together. When they were safely down the hall on the way to gym class, Bill turned and said, “Boy, you sure must’ve studied for that test. Those were the best answers I’ve ever gotten from you!” Jerry blushed, befv*ing his pleasure at having his idol pro is him. “You know I want to help you, but vhat happens if we ever get caught? The', could kick you off the football team rad--------------“Oh, can the lect. will you kid?” Bill scoffed. "With ou stem nobody will ever catch us, and besides, with our repu tations who in the world would even sus pect us? You’ve been sitting sideways in your desk so long that everyone knows it’s just an oddity you have, and you sit ahead of me in every class ’cause we’re buddies. Right, Jer?” Jerry nodded, and the two boys moved on down the hall. It was just the same in everything they did. Bill, the extrovert, took the lead and got the glory while Jerry did all the work. When Bill went out for sports and was an immediate hero, Jack became the student manager to be near him. The two boys were exact opposites. Bill was the most popular boy in all of Greenfield High School and Jerry was considered an egg head in all senses of the word. Bill let Jerry be his buddy because it was nice to have someone nearby that he could count on to do any work that came up, and be sides, being a friend to someone who was down and out, made people think he was a great guy. With girls and dates it was the same 105

story. Bill could go with anybody he want ed and Jerry could get only Bill’s castoffs. They usually double-dated because having only Jerry around made Bill shine like the stars. Then came the big New Year’s Eve party. Since this was a special event, Bill had trouble finding any date at all for Jer ry. Then he remembered the girl who lived across the street from his home. She wasn’t popular, so she didn’t have a date, but she was fairly attractive and she had more brains than anybody else in high school — she was perfect for Jerry! Nancy Reynolds — that was her name — did turn out to be just right for Jerry. They had a wonderful time together at the party and soon Jerry was dating her ex clusively, much to Bill’s joy, for now he no longer had to find two girls for every date. It wasn’t long before Jerry asked Nancy to go “steady” with him. Finally he be came so fond of her, he told her every thing about himself and Bill — the cheat ing and all. That’s why after the day’s semester ex ams were over Jerry rushed to Nancy’s house. She had asked him to come over because she said that she had something important to tell him. When he got there she let him in and they both sat down on the couch. Then she slowly began to speak. “Jerry,” she said, “I’ve been thinking a lot lately about you and Bill, and I I ............ Jerry, I think you ought to tell Bill you don’t want to ever see him again!” “But Bill’s my friend; he needs my help!”

“Letting him copy all your work isn’t helping him; can’t you see that, Jerry? You’ll both be boys until you split up and let each other be men!” “But, Nancy, we need each other!” “If you need him that much, then you don’t need me!” Nancy screamed as she ran into her room and locked the door be hind her. Jerry walked up to the closed door, tears in his eyes. “Nancy, honey, you know I love you and I’ll try............ I’ll.............. try.......... ............ no! I can’t do it! I can’t tell Bill that! Don’t you see that I’m noth ing without Bill---------nothing \ I’d die without his strength holding me up! I (sob) just (sob) can’tl He slowly turned and walked out the

coming back to him after she had cooled down a little when summer started and grades and cheating were forgotten. Un derneath, the man in him which had be gun to stir a little at Nancy’s words was once again still. The nine o’clock tardy bell rang. Bill strolled to his usual seat, the teacher hand ed out his tests, and Jerry lay sobbing in his bed. A man was bom. Jim Everts, ’66

door into the cool night air. As he walked the six blocks to his home, his sobbing stopped, but he was even more sure that he was just too weak to stand without Bill. The semester finals continued the next day, so when Jerry got home he studied late and hard to be sure that both he and Bill would get their usual good grades on the next day’s tests. As each hour went by, Jerry became more and more sure of his decision. He could even picture Nancy

I’m writing the news for the December issue, but you could never tell it by looking outside. Fellows are going to class in their shirt sleeves, and it almost seems as if spring is already here. I guess fall doesn’t want to give up this year. There has been a lull in the sports active ties around the campus, since this is changeover time. The basketball team is getting into shape for their first game against the Sem. The rest of the student body is coming out of gym class asseverating between coughs that they just have to cut down on smoking start ing tomorrow. Although Northwestern Col lege has completed its football season, there 106

are many heated debates over certain college and professional football games. The majority of the students who are “Badger Backers" were jovial after their victory over Minnesota, but their fanaticism was greatly mitigated by the Thanksgiving Day debacle in which the Lions "overwhelmed" the Packers, to say the least. There has been increased enthusiasm over weight lifting this past month. Coach men tioned to the football team that many pros and top college players use weights in the ofF sea son, and the barbells are banging in the base ment. There is also talk that Coach may get some isometric bars for our athletes.

We were very shocked a few weeks ago by the unexpected illness of our business manager, Mr. Erwin Bilse. He was enjoying good health before he left for the conference in Minnesota, but he suffered a stroke because of an embolism. In plain English that is the obstruction of a blood vessel by a blood clot or other forcign matter. After spending a few weeks at the hospital in Rochester, Mr. Bilse has been moved to Madison. We are all praying earncstly for his complete recovery.

the window. Kermit Habben immediately sees his duty and goes up and down the firecracker trail checking the chief sus pects. And there are some chief suspects. First clue: Ask some of the South Dakota boys. Firecrackers are not illegal in the provinces. In the next issue a point-blank clue will be given to help aid in the relent less pursuit of the guilty. And Classroom: The faculty is now going to give Green Stamps to encourage higher marks (A-40 stamps; B-30 stamps etc.). Double stamps will be given out at sem ester. Prof. Kowalke has observed that the students come close to ruining their bodies by purchasing goodies in the can teen. Then the profits of the canteen, which are to a great extent assimilated by the athletic department, are used to try to rebuild our canteened bodies. Another joyous pursuit is an evening of cards. This is undertaken in a some what serious manner and interrupted only for teen-breaks at 8:30 and at 10:30. But then for those intellectuals who are hap piest to be entertained and not to enter tain there is a solid afternoon of sleep to buck them up for the rigors of an evening of television topped off by the late-late show. Sprinkled among the students in the body are several who work. But like the Seminary students they adhere strictly to the rule of fifteen hours of work or less per week. There is a valiant attempt afoot to keep the dormitory from becoming a boarding house for the local merchants’ employees. In a moment of strength it had occur red to this writer to set down a bit of a sketch in which would be portrayed a young man who has come to Northwest ern to be enrolled as a student. He goes through the whole business of registering, programming, scheduling, veterans’ loans, pictures for student I.D. cards, etc. (It should be noted here that etc. stands for a blank in the writer’s mind). After having completed these chores, he seeks out the Dean. Then in a very touching scene he says to the Dean, “I would like to speak to someone around here with a litde authority.” In his usual curt style the Dean replies, “You might as well speak to me. I have as little 108

authority as anyone.” The topics of dis cussion change very rapidly after that until our hopeful young man learns to his dismay that this is not the headquarters of the John Birch Society, but it is a down-to-earth institution. Exit one student. (Did you ever feel you were the butt of a joke, and you did not even know what the joke was about? I suppose this feeling has been universally appreciated. It is rather much like the man who forgot to put on his trousers when he went to pay his bill at the local pub. He promptly stormed out of the said establishment infuriated with himself for forgetting his billfold). Listed next on the agenda is a true or false exam covering all fields of endea vor and calculated to tax your imagin ation, the only thing left untaxed by J.F. K. True or False 1. A VW is powered by flashlight batteries. 2. Ben Franklin said, "Let us all hang together or we will all hang separately.” 3. Ben Franklin said Don’t any of you guys sell the British any rope.” 4. A man in love should be listed un der the generic term homo saphead. 5. The Ladies Aid meets down in the club room in front of he T.V. during every Packer game. 6. The Ancients alwa vs used Roman numerals when multiplying.

JRust in ;]3race As a memento this year’s graduating class will leave Northwestern a four by four colored picture of the entire Senior class. It is to be hung (not hanged) in the faculty room where all our smiling faces can overlook the conference table. I say “overlook” in a joking sort of man ner because with all the smoke-haze over

3. “It’s What’s up Front that Counts”. For those of you who find time on your hands you might purchase some clay and make statuettes of your friends and enemies. Then on blue Mondays you could stick pins in them, in the statuettes, I mean.

the conference table, it is rather difficult for anything to overlook the situation. Fred Kogler, a contented sort of per son, has drawn up a list of songs which he feels will be best-sellers, but which may or may not reflect the sentiments of the body. 1. “I Wonder if Nehru Is a Neutral Now?” 2. “On the Road to Fat’s” or “Hiccough thru the Jungle with Me.”.

By the by. There goes the period.

SpohtA Basketball Gets Under Way This year the NWC basketball Trojans will boast seven returning lettermen. They are Bill Meier, Gene Kock, Kermit Ilabben, Beckner and A1 Just, the first three of whom are Seniors. The starting team will see Beckner, the tallest Trojan at 6' 7", at the center position, Schroeder and Meier as the forwards, and Kock and Scharf as the guards. According to Coach I’d Pieper, one of the team’s biggest problems is to find a successor to Pete Fran/mann, who last year, while playing the high post, dunked 402 points and was especially good with his hook shots from the top of the arc. This year the biggest scoring threat is ex pected to be Gene Kock. who at the end of last season did some fine shooting from the comers. Trojan bench strength will be supplied by Ron Semro and Den Tassler, as well as by several very promising Frosh, Clarke Sievert, Jim Everts, Ron I lahm, Dick Pagels, Paul Kelm, and Dave Toepel. Except for two teams, the new Gate way Conference should give the Trojans a fairer chance than they had in the old Badger-Gopher Conference. They will play several schools which they’ve never met before. Although Lakeland is heavily fav ored to take the championship, there is no reason why the Trojans can’t be consider ed threats for one of the other top spots. Coach Pieper says the team members have sufficient experience behind them and the defense should be somewhat bet ter than last year. For the past few months Beckner has been working out lifting the weights. Habben has stated that unless things get too tough, he will play the entire

season without his red knee pads. Win Opener Against Sem The Trojans got off to a good start in the traditional season opener against the Seminary, defeating them 88-60 on the NWC court, December 1st. NWC was nev er behind in the scoring column. The first

109

Del Begalka leads cheers for Sem few minutes of the game were only medi ocre. But with 10 minutes left in the first half, the offense picked up and continued strong through the game. As expected, Kock was high scorer for the Trojans, scoring 31 points. Kock, in fact, was the high scorer in the state that week end. Most of his shots were from the comers and from the top of the arc. Schroeder was second high with 11 points. At this point, it looks as though Beckner is the team’s most improved player. He and Scharf scored 8 points apiece. Two second-string Freshmen, Sievert and Toepel, scored 9 and 7 points respectively. High scorer for the seminary was John Henderson, with 12 points.

gelical Free Church of America and is lo cated 2 miles north of Chicago’s Loop. It’s enrollment is about 250. Many of its 150 men students will later enter the ministry. NWC jumped out to a 5-1 lead; but 2 minutes later the score was tied. North western went on to build up a 9 point lead at 29-20 but by the half the score was tied at 29-29. In the second half T. C. edged ahead and at one point led by 7 points. The NWC shooting was definitely off. Many shots rolled around the rim of the basket but failed to go in. Trinity’s full court press was also used effectively. Kock, who had been averaging 32 points a game, led the scoring with only 16 points. Scharf and Meier had 13 and 11 respectively. Carlson was high man for T. C. with 25 points.

Juniors Take Intramural Football Championship The Junior class this year won the championship in intramural football with a 4-0-2 record. Last year as Sophomores, they had come in second, close behind the Seniors. The big defensive lir • held the oppos ing teams to only 18 po.nis for the entire season. Meanwhile the quad’s potent of fense scored a total of 94 points. Glen Schaumberg, playing a half back position, was the high scorer for the season, as quarterback Bill Balza hit him with 4 touchdown pases.

Lost First Conference Game The basketball Trojans played their first game in the new Gateway Conference December 5 against the University of Illi nois - Chicago. The game was played in Chicago. This was the first time the two schools met in a basketball game. The NWC squad was in control of the game for most of the first half. At one time they were ahead 20-8. But UIC be gan catching up and by half time the Tro jans held only a slim 40-39 lead. In the second half UIC kept moving forward and at the end of the game were ahead 80-73. Gene Kock and Dallas Beckner took care of most of the scoring for NWC, scor ing 33 and 22 points respectively. Kock hit on 14 of 19 field goals, most of them com ing from the comers. Beckner, Northwestern’s tall high post, scored 10 field goals. Meier was third with 12 points. These three players scored 67 of NWC’s 73 points. UIC scored only one more field goal than the Trojans, but had the advantage of 9 more NWC fouls.

Trinity College Outshoots NWC The Trojans, playing against Trinity, lost their second conference game by a 57-54 score in the NWC gym, December 8. Trinity College is a coeducational lib eral arts school affiliated with the Evan-

Junior Intramural Champs

The toughest opposing team for the Juniors was the Senior team, whom they beat in their first encounter and tied in their second. The Seniors took second place. no

NWC Receives Honorable Mentions for Football In a poll of state college student news paper sports editors to select a state col lege all-star team, 3 Trojan football play ers were awarded honorable mention. They are Senior linemen Bill Meier and Dan Pautz, and Junior halfback Bob Bitter. Bowlers Begin Second Season At Bowl-A-Fun In their organizational meeting, NWC's bowling league elected Dave Lauber as their president and Marc Diersen as secre tary. The league is beginning its second season at the new Bowl-a-Fun Lanes and

again free bus transportation is being pro vided. This year the faculty was also invited to take part in the bowling. Professor Eickmann and Tutors Schwark, Weber, and Wiechmann are participating. At the present time the East Gate Inn team, made up entirely of Juniors, is in first place; Mullen’s the faculty team, is in second; and the defending champion Green Bowl team, made up of Seniors, is close behind in third. It looks as though it will be a tough race among these top three teams through out the season. After three weeks of play, Professor Eickmann is at the top of the league aver age-wise with a 177. Last year’s high man, Dick Anderson, is second with 168, and Diersen third with a 167 average.

fcdiioAicd During this past Christmas vacation I happened to be watching a program on television about a certain trial lawyer and his experiences. In this particular episode his client was a woman who formerly had been a dope addict. She had entered a federal hospital and now for four years had managed to live a normal life without taking dope. When questioned in court about her condition, she stated that she was cured. But whenever she ran up against a problem to which she had no im mediate answer, once again the tempta tion overtook her to lose herself in the world of dope. Every day this urge and desire to revert to her old ways loomed up in front of her. The passing of time from her last experience with dope did not dull this temptation at a!] It came back every day with the same force of the day before, and if she wanted u> face reality, she would have to admit that it would spring forth with the same intensity in the days to come. Her soli;, was to live for the day at hand, to n;< t each day and each temptation with same determination with which she h conquered her prob lems in times past She realized, that no matter how many times she did overcome this urge, to think that now she had con quered it for all time and that she could now slack up on her guard against this monster was pure folly. If she spent all her time glorying over yesterday’s triumph, it would defeat her today. This seems to me to be quite an ap propriate thought to ponder on in this new year. The change from the old to the new year always seems to bring with it many New Year’s resolutions. With many of us these resolutions are not taken seriously, but some people put much stock in them, at least for a day or two. With all piety and seriousness a person proclaims at mid night between Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 that from now on he is going to refrain from something or that he is going to do some thing which formerly he has neglected. This proclamation, however, is as far as it goes. Apparently he seems to think that good intentions are all that are needed to

shake some bad habit. He may even put this good intention to work for a couple of days figuring that after that it won’t be a struggle anymore, that temptation to re vert to old ways will lessen and finally dis appear. Hence the inevitable happens, and the old habit of a while back overtakes him again. We, as students, can receive some val uable advice from this idea of living for the day. At New Year’s time we also have a chance to look back on what we have accomplished at school and to evaluate how we have spent our time in the past. Perhaps we see that we are sorely lacking when it comes to utilizing our time to the fullest; or maybe we many a time have found ourselves in bull sessions which soon degenerate into gossiping, tearing down a fellow student’s character or some idiosyncrasy he might have; or one of the many other bad habits and sins threaten ing a Northwestern student we might no tice has plagued us particularly in the past. We suddenly are overwhelmed with a pious desire to shake all our bad habits and to start working as a real student should. We may even, as we should, utter a serious prayer to the Lord that he will help us to carry out these good intentions in the future. We come back to school and hit the books harder than we ever have before. That lengthy term paper which we have put off for so long now finally re ceives our full attention, and in no time flat we have it done and handed in. But now we begin to slow down and to look back at what a splendid job we have done. We’ve come over the hump, and the future will be a downhill coast. From now on studying will come quite easily to us. We seem to forget that every day is a new day, and with it come new temptations. It makes no difference at all how many tri umphs we scored the day before. Today our old Adam is prepared to spring up with all the fury of the past, and we must be prepared to meet it with the same deter mination. One prayer on New Year’s Day will not do the trick. The only way to keep

112

our old Adam and its sinful desires down is to regard every day as the first day of our struggle and to pray every day to the Lord to give us the needed strength to con quer our inclination to neglect and put off our duties. Yesterday’s battles and tomor row’s impending struggles are of no con sequence to us at the present moment. Our attention is to be directed fully upon the temptation immediately in front of us, and we are to oppose this temptation as though it were the first time we had encountered it, realizing that without God’s help and

our fiercest determination it can well over come us, no matter how many times we have defeated it in the past. Our struggle here at school and in the rest of our life will not lessen or end until we enter into the eternal realms above. If we move ahead into this new year with this thought in mind and with fervent daily prayer to Christ for help and guidance, then and on ly then will we conquer the daily battles of life and emerge the victors in the end.

VANITY Ice and snow, And snow and sleet, Sweep over the darkening land. The gaunt trees stand there, Breaking the biting wind, And death is everywhere. The ground is hard. The grass is pale. All is death. ! :

A lonely figure, Tall and dark, Walks through the night. What is the sum of man? What is the end of man? All is death. Walk on, walk on, Into the swirling snows, And be engulfed by death. Where are the stars? Where is the moon? In the eternal night. Blowing snow, drift on, Now here, now there, untiringly. Such is the course of man. DAVID GOSDECK, ’65

IS CAUSE AND EFFECT A REALITY?

What happens when you throw a rock through a window? Our common sense tells us that the impact of the rock causes the window to break. Scientific research has apparently proved that there are cer tain laws of cause and effect governing events which take place in the universe. When we observe the stone breaking the window, we believe that we’re observing a necessary connection between the two events. Therefore, if we are given the lat ter event, the broken glass, we think we can discover the cause because of this nec essary connection. In other words: 1. Whenever A occurred it was follow ed by B. 2. There was a necessary connection in this sequence, and it wasn’t just a coincidence. It is this lattor proposition that has been attacked by philosophers through the ages. Hume’s cri: ism of this law of cause and effect h of the great land marks in the hisu \ of philosophy. Al though he made hi assertions in the mid dle of the eighteen century, his criticism is still significant because of its influence on modem philosophy. Let us take a look at the essence of Hume’s criticism. In order to do this, we will imagine ourselves down in the clubroom playing pool. As we watch the ac tion, we see Dave Neumann drill another ball with his accustomed finesse. When the cue ball strikes the No. 15 ball, our common sense tells us that there is power in the moving cue ball which cause the No. 15 ball to move itself into the pocket. Hume completely denies this because he maintains there is no power in the cue ball to make the No. 15 ball move, and, there fore the movement of the latter ball is not the necessary result of the impact of the former. Of course, Hume admits that the movement of the second ball has been ob served to follow the impact of the first re peatedly. For this reason, he affirms that our minds, influenced by this “conjunction of events”, namely impact followed by movement, conclude that the second event will always follow the first, and we jump to the idea of necessary connection. How ever, all we are really entided to assert is a repeated “conjunction of events.” Our 114

laws of cause and effect are determined by our mind. We base them on the repeat ed observation of “conjunction of events.” Hume’s denial of the necessary law of cause and effect is proved by showing that causation is not given in experience and that it is not established by reason. In the observations of our experience we are nev er able to discover any power. We can dis cover that one event actually follows an other, but although we scrupulously in spect the so called causes and effects in nature, we can never find any power in the cause. We may see a match igniting gunpowder, but we never have sensory ex perience of the power in the cause by vir tue of which it produces the effect. Like wise, reason cannot establish that a cer tain power must exist. He bases this state ment upon the difference between neces sary and contingent facts. A necessary fact or a necessary relation, Hume asserts, is one which it is impossible to conceive of differently. For example, we cannot conceive of the relation of 6 x 6 and 35 -f1 being otherwise than that of equality. Therefore, the relation of equality between them is a necessary relation. However, our “a priori” knowledge is only restricted to geometrical relationships, and the mat ters of fact or events of nature must be de rived from our sense impressions. We can only discover that the impact of the cue ball will cause another ball to move by ex perience. Before we observed it, we didn’t know that the cause would follow the effect the way it does. That cause A will have effect B is not a postulate of reason. His second argument against rational support of cause and effect is his strong est. He states that if a cause and an effect are two different events, each must be really distinct and separate from the other. But if they are separate, there can be no necessary connection between them. Since the impact of the cue ball and movement of the No. 15 ball are two different events, the effect could not be discovered in the cause. There is not tie binding the two events together. He implies that the exist ence of such a tie would mean they are not separate, and if they aren’t separate, we have not right to talk about cause and effect but one continuous process. With-

FOLKSINGERS IN AMERICA

'.‘I

;

A ballad is a story told in song. A bal lad is a folksong, but a folksong is not a ballad unless it tells a story. Folksong, then, has come to be the inclusive word, covering many varieties of music of the common people. For instance, the shanty is a sailor’s folksong; the spiritual is a re ligious folksong; the blues may be a jazz folksong. But the genuine, traditional folk song is “music that has been submitted to the process of oral transmission; it is the product of evolution and is dependent on the circumstances of continuity, variation, and selection.” And what is a folksinger? It might be supposed that anyone who sings folksongs is a folksinger. A good many persons who have recently turned to singing folksongs because such singing is now popular and lucrative, and because they love the songs — are commonly called folksingers. This is inexact. Many persons can and do sing ballads and folksongs who are not to be designated folksingers in the exact sense, even though the Merriam-Webster defines a folksinger as “a singer or writer of folk songs.” In the strict sense of the word, a folksinger is one who has grown up in an environment where traditional folksongs are a part of his upbringing, where he learns the songs orally and not from books or recordings, and where he is not even aware that he is singing a folksong. Such a person may become a professional sing er. The point is, he must have grown up in the tradition. And why all the fuss about folk music? Well, as of today the most popular sing ing groups and individuals are folksingers. At the top of the popularity list are the Kingston Trio and the Limelighters. Both groups have sold millions of records and can ask and receive large sums of money for live performances. The Kingston Trio is a very polished group, smooth in de livery and at ease at all times. None of the members of the Kingston Trio were brought up in a folksong environment. But most of their songs are basically folktunes. The Limelighters are likewise very pol ished and perhaps the most professional of all singing groups. They have an out standing stage personality both in singing and in comical entertainment between the 117

numbers. Their singing style stresses close sometimes dissonant then resolved to the harmonic, loud and clear, rather than the smoothness of the Kingston Trio. The Limelighters have something that the cultists of folksinging and the hillbillies of folksong environment generally lack. They have talent, that ever depressing word which distinguishes good from great. The fact that many singers grow up in a folk song does not mean they are good folksingers. For example, there is Jean Ritchie, “pancake flat voice”, but a real, authentic folksinger straight from the hills, who should never have left the county fairs. A group between the professionals and the Authentics is Peter - Paul - and - Mary. This bearded trio (all except the lady) is a bit homey and unaffected. All of their songs are folksongs; their arrangements many times hide this fact They are also among the well-paid. Now a switch to the Authentics, the Pures. The high priest of this group is Pete Seeger and his sibyl is Joan Baez. Time magazine, Nov. 23, 1962, had a splendid article on Joan Baez and her family. Though her father and mother are both well educated Joan had ap proached education but walked away be fore she actually came into contact with it. The people who are on the “in” among the “Pures” consider her the best female folksinger. And well they might. She has a clear, strong, thrilling soprano voice. She has much natural talent. Though the “Pures” in folksinging show disdain for anyone being paid a good deal of money for singing, Joan Baez is paid a good deal of money. She refuses to make more than one or two records a year to show she is not in it only for the money. It is a bit of theatrics. And now enter the high priest. Pete Seeger was bom in New York on May 3, 1919, the third son of Charles Seeger, a distinguished musicologist and conductor. After high school Pete attended Harvard for three years and left without taking a degree. Harvard provides a real folksong environment. During the depression he wondered from one end of the country to the other picking up folksongs and devel oping a style on the five-string banjo which

would make him the world’s best banjo player. In 1949, Pete organized with three other people a group called the “Weavers”. Their record sales have passed the fourmillion mark. In 1954, Pete wrote a man ual for the five-string banjo and book of folksongs he collected on his travels thru the U. S. Pete has been cited for contempt of Congress, his political leanings are to the left, and he demands and gets $3000 and up per concert. Neither of these exponents of the pure folk music grew up in a folksong environ ment. Neither of them sings only for plea sure and a better world; they sing for a living. The real radicals of the pure sys-

tem should condemn these two as com mercial for following in the footsteps of the Kingston Trio. They do not. And here lies the inconsistency among the Authentics. There are many folksingers left to be discussed such as Odetta, Burl Ives, the Chad Mitchell Trio, and Woodie Guthrie. It all depends on your taste. If you like singing which stresses perfection and ex cellence, then you would like the Limelighters and the Kingston Trio. If you like to hear “real” folksongs sung with all their natural color, which may go off-key and flat, then you would like Pete Seeger and Jean Ritchie. G. s.

LET GOD BE GOD by Philip S. Watson, M. A. Wartburg Press, 1948. $3.50, 203 pages Once in a great while a book appears which embodies from its title page to the very end thoughts that make the reader feel richer for having read them. Just such a book is Let Gocl Be God written by Philip S. Watson, i. a. Watson is a tutor in Systematic Th« »logy and Philosophy of Religion at Handsworth College, Birming ham, England. 1 . a Methodist, but this in no way detrac from the quality of his work. He presents an interpretation of the theology of Lull: - and in so doing dis plays a knowledge of Luther’s works that is little short of remarkable. A brief look at the footnotes (whose location at the end of the chapters instead of on each page proved to be a discomfiture to this reader) will show the high degree of scholarship of this man. He is obviously well-read and fitted for his task. Watson in his presentation of Luther’s theology endeavors to give it a unifying feature. He knows Luther was no systema tize^ but this fact does not keep him from seeing that the unifying factor in Luther’s theology was his desire to “let God be God.” As Watson himself says in his book, “this is for Luther the supreme test of his own and all other doctrines — whether they set forth in one way or another the glory of God alone.” This then becomes Watson’s predominant theme as he trans ports the reader through every aspect of Luther’s theology. 118

Watson’s greatest contribution to me personally was the strong case he made, using Luther’s theology discreetly, for the Christian viewpoints which so often suffer for want of “logic”. This is not the crass logic of the scholastics, but Watson rather gives the most vivid explanation possible, using the best Christian facts and exam ples available. All too often I feel Christ ians lack the ability adequately to high light or fully express the truths of the Christian religion. Here is where Watson’s book and presentation would be an aid to anyone who would wish to better fit him self out with a fuller storehouse of Christ ian truths and explanations. An example from Watson’s book will best illustrate how one will be better fitted to deal with mat ters of faith with a greater degree of com petency after having read this book. Wat son speaks of Luther’s Copemican revolu tion in theology. Even as it is natural to believe that the sun circles the earth (un less one is supplied with facts to the con trary as Copernicus was) it is just as nat ural for man to believe he must do some thing to reach God using the ladders of reason, will, or works. He cannot under stand that all our power and hope for sal vation come from Christ without any help from us. This is Luther’s Copemican revo lution of religion for he says, “I attribute all things to God alone, and nothing to man.” To Watson goes the tribute for

having pointed out this “old” truth in a new and poignant manner that at once sweeps away human logic and yet enhances a Christian’s “logic”. Anyone who wishes to gain or increase his understanding of Luther and the whole scope of his thought and theology should not miss reading this book. As one professor aptly stated, “Unless we continue to read, our source springs dry up and we

find ourselves repeating time-worn cliches, (And we all know how distasteful that is, especially from a minister of the Gospel.) A reading of this book offers a positive corrective for cliche chatterers. This book also embodies so many really enduring qualities that the reader may readily envision himself returning to read it again and again in order to better absorb all that it offers. neil hansen, ’63

THE SCHOOLS BEHIND THE TEAMS In the spring of 1962, NWC began athletic competition in a new league — the newly formed Gateway Conference. There are eight teams in the conference. The schools represented, besides North western, are Lakeland, Milton, Eureka, George Williams, Trinity, University of Illinois - Chicago, and Shimer. Lakeland and Milton are, of course, old rivals. The rest are new rivals. For that reason it seemed to be a good idea to find out the nature, location, enrollment, and other in formation concerning the schools which these athletic teams represent.

Oui Ouaerit Invcnit Lakeland College boasts of being in the center of Wisconsin’s popular recre ational area. It is located between Sheboy gan and Elkhart Lake and is within easy reach of Lake Michigan and Lake Winne bago. A number of smaller lakes are also nearby. Immediately to the west of the 150 acre campus, parts of which are nat urally wooded, is i part of the Kettle Mor aine Preserve. Tin- illage of Greenbush, with the historic V/ade House Inn and Butternut House JS (' nly a few miles away. All in all, sailing .a iling, fishing, hunting, skiing, and tobog fining are an intimate part of campus hi Lakeland was a aided in 1862 and for many years was known as Mission House. It is affiliated with the United Church of Christ, and its purpose is to teach the liberal arts and sciences in a Christian at mosphere. Narrow specialization in one field is avoided. The college has tradition ally been strong in music and the humani ties, but during the past 50 years increas ing attention has been given to the social and natural sciences. BA and BS degrees are granted by the college after the fouryear program has been completed. Two years of Greek are offered and are a re quirement for all pretheological students. Courses in Latin, German, religion, his tory, and sociology are also offered. Lakeland is rather liberal theologically. Many denominations are represented in the faculty and student body. The students have daily chapel services and sev eral times a month speakers from off cam pus are invited to give chapel talks. 120

LC has two dormitories on campus. The one can accomodate 120 women stu dents; the other, 140 men students. Non Ministrari Sed Ministrare The Gateway Conference is giving NWC its first chance to meet Shimer Col lege. This college, 110 years old, is in Mount Carroll, Illinois, a town of 2000 people. Mount Carroll is in northern Illi nois, 10 miles from the Mississippi River, and is situated among picturesque hills. The campus covers 45 acres and has 14 main buildings as well as athletic fields and even a small golf course. Shimer is a coeducational liberal arts school. Its aim is to give the student the ability to react to people and ideas with pertinent questions which will lead to ef fective judgments, which, it claims, Scrip ture to the contrary, is the essential pre requisite to wisdom. SC presently has 270 students and 33 faculty members. Since 1959 it has been affiliated with the Episcopal Church. The incoming freshmen at Shimer, in stead of finding himself enrolled in seven courses, takes only six courses — three each semester. As a matter of fact ,no one takes more than three subjects at one time. According to its catalog, classroom empha sis is placed not on standard text books but on primary sources — the greatest works of man’s intellect and imagination, great plays and poems, and historic docu ments. Classroom discussions are often carried on outside of class among both students and professors. At Shimer, religion is considered “an attitude of life.” The college has a chapel and is concerned not only with intellec tual pursuits but also with the ideals of moral values. Shimer was founded in 1853 by Mrs. Frances Wood Shimer. Originally it was a coeducational seminary. It has long been affiliated with the University of Chi cago. Fees for one year run around S2000. To Provide Youth Leaders George Williams is another college that NWC hasn’t faced in athletic competition prior to this year. The buildings of GW are all under one roof and occupy an en-

Lecture Series. Mr. Starr will be unable to keep his date because of business matters, but Mr. Habben is trying to make arrangements to get some other Packer as a speaker.

The return to school after Christmas vacation was quite normal and routine. A spic and span dormitory with freshly waxed floors greeted us. The shorter vacation period caused some comment, but it seems that everyone got enough rest over the holidays.

The new postage rates have caused some changes in student writing habits. Most of the ‘old faithfuls' who used to write five letters a week have cut that down to four.

The memory of the Christmas Concert was still in the minds of most of us. The concert was a genuine success, both for the apprecia' tive audience and the performers.

Tutor Braun had a little car trouble during the holidays. It seems that he overturned his car, but he apparently came out of it in good shape. He was on hand to greet the earliest arrivals on January

The Dormitory Council has met an obstacle in its effort to attract Bart Starr, the Green Bay Packer quarterback, as a speaker for the

QampuA•** QIol mom Into the sphere of Romance. This is the age of the do-it-yourself kits. Just about everything imaginable can be pur chased in the kit form. Grocery stores will soon offer Volkswagens in Wheatie pack ages— piece by piece, of course, in the economy packages but whole in the giant size. It has even been rumored that col lege educations are now available from grocery stores— in air-tight cans natural lyHowever, the biggest sales in kits have been established by the hi-fi and stereo in dustry. It is believed that in 1963 its sales will top the one billion dollar mark. If you think you have read directions which you thought were confusing, then try reading the directions from a hi-fi kit. The directions might go something like this: "Connect the dark green wire to the light green wire and solder them both down (with non-acid solder) to the pale green power cable”. Now that does not sound too difficult. But as far as I could see, there were no green wires or cables in my kit, just faded brown ones. The di rections might just as well have read: “Run the faded brown wire through your left ear and pull it out your right and wrap

it around the end of your big toe. Then, using your nose as .m electrical socket, plug the power line into your nose and push down on your chin, thus turning yourself on.” So after about forty hours of work, I took the nameless kit down to the local re pair man and paid thirty-five dollars to have it put together.

This has been another boom year for the book industry. Two books which have set sale’s records are given below. Life With Nihij by Comrade Flunkyvitch is an immensely thrilling book about the labor strike of the “Morning Blah” (for merly "Pravda”). It seems the printers’ union wanted twelve-minute lunch breaks, but the State would only give nine and one-half minute breaks plus blintzes on Lenin’s birthday. This story, however, has a happy ending— all the printers were shot. Svioke Jumping for Profit and Plea sure is a delightfully short book written by Norm Kuske on the subject of para chuting. For the most part the writing is

It is with a bit of nostalgia that I look back on my prep and college years here at Northwestern. I have with joy looked forward to my last Christmas vacation. I have packed for my last vacation. At my table in the dining hall sit eight fellows with a combined total of sixtythree years of service at Northwestern. In my room there are two fellows besides myself, and the three of us have twenty-three

closer relationship between faculty and students. It is just a tradition here at N.W. C. that those behind the desk and those in front of the desk associate as little as possible with each other. With all the other traditions going out the window, this is another one that could go. At last year’s graduation one of our professors was shaking hands with one of the new graduates, and you could see a few tears come down his cheek. And the look on the professor’s face was not one of dismay over the rapidly passing years, but rather was a look of sadness. “I wish I could have learned to know that boy better.” Although we have had some professors for eight years and they in turn have taught us for eight years, still there is an atmosphere about the place as though we were strangers.

years of experience at N.W.C. Needless to say, we know this school backward and forward. Even the janitors call us by our first names. In a few cases they even call our girl friends by their first names. But before you stop reading and dis miss this all as sentimentalism, hear me out. The point I want to make has to do with the relationship between the profes sors and the students. In the many years that I have attended this school I have learned almost every bad point that each professor has, while learning only a few good points. Conversely, I’m certain that the professors can list more bad points about almost every student than good ones. At a school with only one hundred and eighty collegians it seems a shame that there is not a better understanding and a

got its second win of the . ' sketball season by beating Concordia College of Milwau kee 77-61. The game \v:> played January 5 in the Northwestern gyn It was a non conference game and gh the Trojans a 2-3 season record. The first half of the game see-sawed back and forth. At one point the Trojans led by 12 points; but with less than 2 min utes remaining in the half that lead had been trimmed to 2. At the end of the first half the score was NWC 39, Concordia 32. In the second half, the Trojans steadily increased their lead, and finally won by a 16 point margin. Despite the absence of Bill Meier, who had not as yet returned from Arizona, NWC had a decided height advantage and all the players saw some action. Beckner led the scoring with 18 points, Dave Toepel was second with 17, and Kock had 15. Beckner blocked numerous opposing shots. Credit for teamwork goes to Kock, Scharf, and Schroeder. Concordia’s high scorer was Don Becker with 15 points. Despite the win, the Trojan shooting percentage was a disappointing 33%, and the margin of victory should have been Get Second Win greater considering the fact that Concor NWC started the new year right and dia is only a Junior College. Kock Scores 41 Gene Kock was the hero in the basket ball game against Lakeland College played December 12 in the Sheboygan Armory. He scored a total of 41 points. But in spite of his phenomenal tally, the Trojans lost 87-74. ! Early in the game NWC held a 13-10 lead. But after 4 minutes had elapsed, the Muskies went ahead and never allowed the Trojans to get within more than 2 points of the lead. Although NWC outscored Lakeland by 1 point in the second half, little could be done to dent Lakeland’s half-time lead. Kock hit on 18 out of 30 field goal at tempts, aided by screening on the part of teammates Ralph Scharf and Lynn Schroe der. Bill Meier was second high scorer with 10 points. Dallas Beckner had a tough assign ment in trying to guard 6' 11" Wes Seyller, high scorer for the Muskies with 25 points, and fouled out after scoring 1 field goal. The loss gives the Trojans a disappoint ing 0-3 conference record.

Wallop Shimer for First Conference Win The Trojans traveled down to Mount Carroll, Illinois, to play Shimer College on January 9 and came back with an 84-41 victory. The win gave the Trojans a 1-3 conference record. The scoring got off to a very slow start, and when the first period was half over the Trojans had a 7-6 lead. But then NWC got going and, by employing a fullcourt press, led 37-16 at the end of the half. Northwestern kept playing aggres sive ball in the second half and maintain ed a comfortable lead, finally winning by an 84-41 score. Again, all the Trojans saw some action on the court. Shimer suffered its tenth straight loss this season. Clarke Sievert led in the scoring col umn with 17 points; Kock had 16 and Schroeder had 10. The general impression of Shimer Col lege that most of the Trjoan representa tives obtained was not very favorable. There was no school spirit to speak of. As the Shimer players t ame out on the court, some wearing argvles and tennis shoes with holes in then- Shimer students shout ed, “O no, here they come.” “You mean they bothered to suit-up?” The Shimer coach said “een< . meeney, meinie, mo” and consulted th official scorekeeper, a coed, before he sc.u in his starting five. Throughout the ....me. the off-color re marks from the stands, directed against both teams and coaches, drew rounds of raucous laughter. The Trojans were also called a rather poor team, because usually Shimer loses by at least 60 points and NWC had only a 43 point margin. May such a school spirit continue to be foreign to Northwestern! Lose Close One to Milton The Trojans lost their fourth Gateway Conference game January 12 when they played Milton College at Milton, Wiscon sin. The 54-52 loss gave NWC a 1-4 con ference record and a 3-4 season record.

126

Getting started again seemed to be the main difficulty for Northwestern. The Wildcats jumped out to a 5-0 lead and had increased their lead to 21-11 midway thru the first half. Then the Trojans started to find the range and at half time they trail ed by only three points. The score was 25-28. The second half was fairly close. The Trojans took over the lead with a little more than four minutes remaining in the game. A minute later they led 50-46. But then Milton scored two lay-ups and four free throws in a row to give them the win. Sievert led the scoring for Northwes tern with 14 points and Beckner was sec ond with 13. Bowling Competition Remains Close The NWC bowling league resumed its competition January 3 after the Christmas break. The first week wasn’t too good as far as the bowlers are concerned, perhaps because most of them hadn’t practiced ov er the holidays. According to league sec retary, Marc Diersen, the alleys were also rather slick. As of January 9, the Juniors, East Gate Inn, are still in first place with a slim y2 game margin over the second place Senior team. Green Bowl. The faculty team, Mul lens’, is in third, four games behind the leaders. The other 5 teams are bunched up, with only 4l/2 games separating the fourth and eight place teams. The individual averages have not been as high this year as they were last year, but the standings are a lot closer. Richard Anderson is on top of the heap with a 176 average, Tutor Wiechmann is second with 166, and Marc Diersen, a Junior, is third with 163. It’s anyone’s guess as to whether East Gate can hang on to first place. The Green Bowl team bowlers who have been to gether for four years now have won the championship the past two years, will be tough to beat.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF NORTHERN RHODESIA ;

The following article comes to us from the Rev. E. H. IVetidland, who just recently be gati his missionary duties in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia. Recently a much traveled senator from the United States took an excursion to Africa. On one of his many brief stops he expressed his views on the “African situa tion.” Undoubtedly the distinguished trav eler meant sincerely what he said. His frank analysis of the “African siutation,” however, won very few friends and influ enced nobody. To set oneself up as an 127

authority on African problems on the bas is of cursory first impressions is certainly not a part of wisdom. First impressions, on the other hand, can serve a purpose. Africa is to a great extent a dark continent largely because so little is known on the outside concerning its daily life. One conjures up all sorts of ideas about uncivilized conditions. But it takes only a short time in Africa to realize that the days of Rhodes and Livingstone are rapidly passing away, if not already gone. In place of this one finds surging

new developments which are a constant source of wonder to the newcomer. To this extent first impressions can serve a pur pose. They describe, at least, what most people do not expect to find. Contrary to expectations generally held for example, living in Lusaka in the heart of Rhodesia is in many respects just like living anywhere else. The only product of modem living standards which one does not find is television. Pratically everything else is available in the modem shops and stores — if you know where to find them and can pay the price. One must learn to go to a chemist instead of a druggist for aspirin tablets. And one must also get used to the idea that shop hours and ser vice are not geared to a demanding public. If a clerk happens to be drinking tea when you come in to make a purchase, you get used to the idea that it may take awhile to get what is wanted. Supermarkets offer everything from breakfast foods to flash light batteries, and most of the brand names are familiar, from Lux to Kellogg’s. Botded milk, fresh vegetables, and excel lent breads are delivered to your door if you prefer it this way. If you go into a butchery you may not get hamburger un til you know that you must order minced beef, topside. But once these problems are solved, you find that the meat is not only good, but very reasonable. Naturally one has advance worries about educational facilities. Again, when living in a city like Lusaka with a large concentration of Europeans, one is hap pily surprised by the facilities available. Large, modem schools for all age groups through our Junior College level are at hand. Girls and boys attend separate schools, and all have to wear a required uniform, but basic requirements are pretty much the same. In many ways the Bri tish system, which gives a little chemistry and mathematics each year through high school instead of crowding an entire course into one year, may be more effec tive. Of course one cannot speak in terms of “grade school” or “high school,” but has to get used to the various “standards” and “forms” instead. Foreign language study is begun at an earlier age, and not quite so much emphasis is placed on sports and extra-curricular activities. These are things to be welcomed rather than deplored. Any sports-minded person can find an adequate

outlet for nearly any athletic desire at one of the many sports’ clubs in the area. The fact that one of these clubs is introducing American baseball and basketball is hearti ly welcomed by our family. Umpires and officials may not be too clear on all the rules of these games, and the participants may seem a bit awkward at times, but the games are played with real enthusiasm. In addition to these familiar circum stances not really anticipated one finds many things to add to the joy of living. The beauty of Lusaka’s flowering trees and shrubs cannot be described at all. Each month brings another lush exhibit of some kind or other. The weather is de lightfully cool and pleasant. The rains of December and the hot winds of October are quickly forgotten when so many days turn out to be what is advertised in Florida or California. Heat is seldom oppressive, yet the semi-tropical climate brings banan as, oranges, lemons, paw-paws, and man goes to trees already planted on our prop erty. Urbanized Africans at work or play are everywhere in evident c and are a con stant source of interest as they present a picture of strange mixtures between primi tive and Westernized methods of doing things. It may be a street gang working in African rhythm and chatter, or an African mother riding a bicycle with a child tied to her back and a load of branches on her head. One never ceases to wonder at the strange ways of this colorful people. From all this one could get the impres sion that life in Lusaka is the next thing to Utopia. Perhaps these first and unan ticipated experiences lead us to dwell on the optimistic side of things. But one can not avoid feeling that many problems lie beneath this pleasant exterior. In a larger city like Lusaka one can live in a sort of isolated European atmosphere if one so chooses. This, however, is certainly not our purpose. One is thankful for many unexpected pleasantries of life. But one realizes that to work among Africans with the Gospel, much more is involved than amused detachment. The African must be understood. Changing conditions must be appreciated and evaluated, particularly as they affect the work of the church. These are problems which offer no simple solu tion. For one thing, one cannot possibly learn very much about the African with 128

out learning his language and his customs. This is where the real work of every new comer must begin. We are thankful that one of our missionaries, Pastor Richard Mueller, is sharing his knowledge and ex perience with us. Daily language sessions of many hours’ intensive work, however, are just a beginning. Puting this study in to practical use will be the next step, and sometimes one wonders how long it will take just to carry on a very limited con versation. Another difficulty is to try to know something about the thought pro cesses lying beneath these placid, inscrut able exteriors. When are concessions to be made? When must one remain firm? What dangers must one avoid? All of this affects the practical life and work of spreading the Gospel in far greater measure than is often appreciated. And one dare also not naively assume that outward conditions in this country will remain as they are. Europeans are already outnumbered thirty to one. White population is presently de creasing under the cloud of political un certainty, and Africans are multiplying rapidly. An Ai r . >1 woman with a little one tied on her back, a toddler in one hand, and several children following be hind is not an unusual sight. The first in evitable steps toward a government con trolled by the Afdeans have been made.

Whether or not the Africans are ready for it is academic. Africans rule is a fact to be reckoned with. What will happen then? How will this affect our freedom of activi ty as a church? These are questions which defy any pat answers at this time, but which our Superintendent, Pastor Theo dore Sauer, must carry with him constantiyOne thing is certain. There is a tre mendous amount of work yet to be done. Establishing a Bible School for the train ing of African workers is one phase in which we happen to be involved. As yet we have more questions about this work than we have answers. We know it must be done and we are glad to be playing a small part in this program. But we can only pray that others will be moved by God’s Spirit to follow calls into this field. What we are doing is, we hope, just the beginning of work which needs to be done more intensively. Recently we had oppor tunity to visit the Bleckmar Mission in South Africa. It was a pleasure to see the fruits of labors carried on for many years, and how zealously this work was now be ing pursued by a group of ten young mis sionaries. We sincerely hope that many of our students today are seriously thinking of the world task that now confronts our church.

ADELE K. SCHUMANN SCHOLARSHIP FUND A memorial scholarship grant of one thousand dollars was recently made to Northwestern College by the Mid-States Shoe Company through its president, Mr. Robert G. Milstein, of Milwaukee. This grant which promises to be an annual one, is in memory of Mrs. Adele K. Schumann, the deceased wife of Mr. William A. Schu mann. Mr. Schumann was superintendent of the Mid-States plant in Watertown be fore his retirement in 1959.

addition, Arline received her B.A. from the college in 1936; Frederick was also enroll ed in the College Department for several semesters before going into service. Since 1961 Mr. Schumann has been a member of the Executive Committee of the North western College Board of Control. The procedure in distributing the grant will follow that established in the case of the AAL scholarship grant. The Adele K. Schumann Scholarship Fund, however, is available to both high school students and college students. Our sincere appreciation goes to the Mid-States Shoe Company and its presi dent, Mr. Milstein, for making this valu able grant possible.

The Schumann family has been associ ated with Northwestern College for many years. Mr. Schumann was graduated from the college business course in 1912. All four of the Schumann children, Arline, : Arthur, Frederick, and Arnold were graduS ated from our Preparatory Department. In ; 129 =

TO THE GLORY OF THE LORD

Professor E. E. Kowalke

iv :■

;

••

It is not very often that the Lord bless es a man with fifty years of sendee in His name, nor does He often allow one insti tution of learning such as Northwestern College the blessing of having a man re main for fifty years without interruption. He has, however, seen fit to endow North western throughout its existence with sev eral professors who have given long and faithful sendee to the college. Among these men is Professor Envin E. Kowalke. The month of January of this year marked the fiftieth year of Prof. Kowalke’s work in the classroom. Things have greatly changed here at Northwestern since that first day in Janu ary 1913 when Prof. Kowalke walked into His classroom to conduct his first class. The whole institution consisted of three .departments: College, Preparatory, and Commercial. There was a class below Sex ta called Septima, to take care of students who weren’t quite ready for high school. The students sitting before him paid only $100 for room and board, and many of the lights in the modem buildings still relied on gas for fuel. The very classroom and building in which Prof. Kowalke spent most of his time had to be tom down to make way for the new classroom-chapel biulding. Only two landmarks remaining from that time are still in evidence on the campus, the Prep Dorm and the gymnas ium.

During the time Prof. Kowalke has spent on Northwestern’s faculty, he has filled many positions and as president was familiar with many more. One of his first duties and one we might tend to forget about was that of the athletic director be tween 1913 and 1920. Although it wasn’t part of his original call, the sports depart ment was lagging somewhat, and Prof. Kowalke, who was a very good athlete in his college days, was a natural for the po sition. Every afternoon during the foot ball season he was on the field in a gray sweater and padded pants getting his team in shape. The spring of the year found him in the same place, coaching the base ball team to several conference champion ships. The gymnasium was a new addi tion to the campus at this time and was also under his control. Maybe there are still some pastors who remember the aches and pains instilled in Prof. Kowalke’s gym class by a thorough workout on the paral lel bars and with the dumbbells. The athletic field is not, however, the place where most Northwestern alumni and students remember Prof. Kowalke. His greatest service has been in the classroom. Here is where he was called to be, where for fifty years he has loved to be, and where he has endowed hundreds of stu dents with a basic Christian education. His call, which he received in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, after a year and a half in the ministry, commissioned him to teach La tin and English, filling the vacancy left by the death of Albert Kuhn. When he got here, however, a few more courses were added. Quinta and Septima English; and Sexta religion, Latin, German and zoology rounded out his schedule. As is the case with many new professors at Northwes tern, the first half-year found Prof. Kowal ke limited entirely to the Prep Department. This was not the case for long, however. In the next year Prof. William Notz, Jr., Northwestern’s Hebrew professor, left the college to take a job in Washington, D. C., and Prof. Kowalke moved up to fill the gap. Since January of 1914 until the present day the entire Hebrew department has con sisted of this one man. Few and far betwen are the Wisconsin Synod pastors of today who haven’t learned or at least at-

130

tempted to learn their fundamental He brew at his feet. Although Hebrew has been a steady subject throughout Prof. Kowalke’s career, it has not by any means indicated the ex tent of the classes he has taught. North western was plagued, especially in his early years, by a lack of professors and the acceptance of other calls by established faculty members. The result of this was that Prof. Kowalke, the youngest faculty member, found himself pushed from one subject to another wherever the need re quired him the most. If one were to line up all the graduates of Northwestern since 1913 and were to ask them what classes they attended under him, one would get a variety of answers. Every language offer ed here at the college would be represent ed, and the various courses would be as distant from one another as Senior reli gion is distant from Sexta zoology. Per haps it is this well-rounded experience in the classroom ■' with extensive reading which enables im to discuss intelligently with a studeiv most any question that might come v his classes. Except for courses in >ic Department, the chances are P: . >sor Kowalke has at one time or anc: : :ught whatever courses Northwester.: - offered or has at least had very clos section with them. Times ch. but the impression a student gets v. he enters Prof. Kowal ke’s classroom, still is the same today as it was fifty years ago. Right from the first minute of the first day he senses that this man has complete control as he stands at the front of the room. There are several habits of students that he finds somewhat irksome. Among these habits are, of course sloppy preparation or no preparation at all, and chewing gum. He has no desire to teach Hebrew to a cow chewing her cud, and a student with gum in his mouth looks almost the same. Should somebody be caught in such an act, a fitting remark or twro from the profesor humbles him, cor rects the situation, and insures that it won’t happen again. His Christian under standing and tactful use of words in touchy classroom questions and situations have through the years spurred students on to greater heights and have gained for himself the respect of all. The school year 1919-1920 introduced Prof. Kowalke to another role here at 131

Northwestern. Prof. Augustus Ernst, who himself in that year at the age of 78 was cited for fifty years of service to the col lege, retired from the presidency, and Prof. Kowalke, who already was assisting Ernst in administrative duties, was chosen to take over the position. Although he now took upon himself new responsibilities, he never lost sight of his main calling here on campus, that of imparting knowledge to his pupils. Only six days of absence ev ery year for conferences, three in fall and again three in spring, interrupted the us ual schedule of classes. Despite the fact that during his presidency there was a trend in the synod to be a little tight with the money bags when it came to spending money for institutions, Prof. Kowalke nev er gave up representing Northwestern at synodical conferences, and the new build ings on the campus all built during the 1950’s are visible proof of his efforts. As president he ahvays made it his business to see that the school he headed was run ning smoothly and efficiendy. Although you didn’t always see him around, you knew that Prof. Kowalke was well-inform ed as to events happening on campus. In the forty years under his leadership the school has never wavered from a staunch conservative view of the Word of God. He has come to represent on this campus bom to faculty members and students alike the firm faith and beliefs of the Wisconsin Synod founded solely on the Bible. Even after his retirement from the office of President in 1959 he has remained as in spiring example and beacon of his stu dents and colleagues. During the period of his presidency Prof. Kowalke wTas privileged to teach two sub jects w'hich by tradition have been reserved for the school’s president. These courses are Senior religion on the Lutheran sym bols and I Corinthians in the Greek, and Sophomore English on Milton and the Ro mantic poets. English literature ahvays has been a favorite with Prof. Kowalke, and in his career he has taught every phase of it from Septima to Sophomore. Although he never taught any classical Greek, forty years of New Testament Greek has thoroughly acquainted him with the teaching of that language and has also made Senior religion one of the classes which he has enjoyed very thoroughly. Retirement from the presidency did

■

seems to be taken for granted that he will be around next year and the year after that and the one after that, giving future pastors their necessary education. In true Christian humility Prof. Kowalke has refused to accept any credit for his labor, but credits all to the goodness of his Lord. The only mention made of this an niversary here on campus has been a brief morning chapel sermonette commemorat ing the event. Despite this relative silence everybody is aware of his long years of sendee, and the prayers of all his students, past and present, ascend to the Lord that He would grant His faithful servant many more years of health and service in His name here at Northwestern. J. W.

not mean retirement from the classroom for Prof. Kowalke. A pastor’s son can still learn Hebrew from the man who taught his father. The language medium has changed from German to English, the textbooks are different, but the professor along with the typical student’s trouble with Hebrew have remained the same. This year in addition to his Junior and Senior Hebrew classes, Prof. Kowalke also conducts a class in remedial German. At this milestone in his career Prof. Kowalke shows no signs of slowing down. He remains hail and hearty, and when the annual Wisconsin snows come every win ter, he is out shoveling his driveway at a pace many a younger man, perhaps even some students, couldn’t maintain. It just

RAMMED DOWN OUR THROATS?

•/ .•

It is a well known fact that labor un ions are a major concern and problem in our nation today. On this matter there are countless views and opinions. One inter esting and important question is this “In the present time is it actually the common, average worker who is desirous of, and seeks the aid of the labor union?” To put forth a tentative answer I will cite a few instances of labor union action with which I came into contact. The first case is the famous Kohler strike. Surely, you say, this action must have been the desire and wish of the work ing man, otherwise he wouldn’t have put his job and future on the line. But be hind the simple act of men walking off the job on April 5, 1954 lies an enormous effort on the part of the labor union to bring this about. For years previous to the strike the labor union had been pounding the men. Panel trucks, mounted with loud speakers, drove through the streets where a large number of workers lived, telling the men what a sweatshop they were working in, and that they were being un derpaid and mistreated. Men were per sonally contacted, and papers and pamph lets were handed out. It took a lot of work before they could get the men to actually believe that they were being so deprived and were working under the conditions that the union described. The next case is in the building of a public school. A small village had drawn

up plans for the school and contracted a local firm, with non-union labor, to erect the structure for two million dollars. Im mediately union officials from forty miles away stepped in. They demanded that since these men working for the building firm were erecting a public building, these men must be union men. Although they could do nothing legally to prevent the building process, they did delay it for months and even sent union men forty miles in order to walk the area, carrying signs condemning the action being taken. And what was that action? The individua listic workmen had decided to pass up the higher pay and the outside control of the union and thus save their community one half of a million dollars. The village did n’t want union labor; the men themselves didn’t want to join the union; still the union came, demanding money for men who didn’t want it. One wonders whose inter est the union officials in this case were looking out for, the working man, or their own. The third case concerns a small ma chine factory, which to this date is still without union labor. This plant was start ed about fifteen years ago by one of the local farmers. Through his own ingenuity, ability, and risk, he brought the business up to what it is today. He took everyday common men and, at his own expense, trained them to be specialists in their field. The end result is that this concern is the

132

world’s largest producer of its product. In addition, this is all done very efficiently, still maintaining the high quality. But this growth has not escaped the notice of money-hungry union officials. Repeatedly in the past they have tried to force a union in, but to no avail. During our last Christ mas vacation they made another attempt. There are three exits from the grounds around the plant; at every one was a un ion man. Each and every man coming off work that night was handed a pamph let and a leter addressed to the workers of that factory. It started off “Uncle Sam stands behind you.” From there it went on deploring the situation in which the men had to work, proclaiming again and again that they were working in a sweat shop, bemoaning the fact that they had no guaranteed seniority rights, and denounc ing the fact that they didn’t have an au thorized old-age pension plan. It ended up by saying that they had an obligation to themselves and their community to pro vide a way to be lifted out of this state of near-slavery. They were to join the union and let the mvon be their spokesman.

They disregarded the fact that these jobs were given almost as a gift to these men; that it was the company that made them what they are. Fortunately, even though the union belittles this, the men recognize it for what it is. The day following the passing out of the pamphlets, a vote was taken among the men. Not one voted to have any dealings with the union what soever! Still the union comes around, prodding the men, shaming them. Now the plant has a hard time delivering their goods, since most union men won’t unload their trucks. So it is that a truck as far away as New York may be delayed three days, just because the men back at the plant will not join the union. That these men are brave enough and love freedom enough to take such a stand, is laudable. But to be lieve that they will triumph in the end, is impractical. It takes more than a handful of men to turn a tide! This is the experience of one person with the union. Look about yourself; no doubt you, too, might have such a tale to tell. Paul Ziemer, ’66

WHEN WILL THE WIND SHIFT? As members of the Twentieth Century, the “baby-boom” generation of the forties has yet to experience one of the interesting phenomena of that century. In the past twenty years they have been taught to rec ognize a single pattern of good and evil in world politics while their sires and grandsires developed and discarded at least two. As far back as the infant generation can remember there has been only one personi fication of evil — Communism, and one na tion to call enemy — Russia. If only tem porarily, this distinction qualifies them to sit beside the many generations which pro ceeded the scientific, technological, mech anized, material, invention-crazy 1900’s; it ranks them with those who thought in terms of slow war and national enmity running centuries deep. Having adopted but one object to strive against, the youth ful generation is common stock with all the Turk-hating Germans of Luther’s day and Roman-hating Jews of Christ’s. It may be only a matter of time till the quickened pulse of Twentieth Century history makes itself felt again. We, the elder statesmen of the new generation, can only wait and see. It was thirty years ago that the wind of history last shifted and that a new cycle last began. Until that time, the world lay grooved in a restless stalemate between the Depression-impoverished millions and their incapable war-bom governments. Every where Wilson’s “democracies” were gasp ing, grasping, searching for a new tack. Bom of the aftermath of war and the di sillusionment which followed, and weaned on a diet of big-power apathy, militant Fas cism was ready to make its bid and did. On January 30, 1933 in a mood of ec-

static jubilation, Adolf Hitler, the Vienna paperhanger, personally accepted the post of Reichs Chancellor and all Germany echoed, “Sieg Heil!” “Shout a lie long enough and loud enough,” Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf, “and someone is bound to be lieve you.” In the years following the death of von Hindenberg’s free republic, some believed and some didn’t. Those who did, fell victim to Anschluss and blitzkrieg; those who did not, secure beyond the ocean which separated them from the presump tuous charlatan, laughed first and paid la ter, some for three years, others for more. When it was all over, forty-three nations had offered up four and a half million lives to the god of war, all to squelch the once innocuous lie. When will the wind shift again? We live a generation apart from war. We are partners in a “Cold War" stalemate. Many are once again doubting the sagacity of fostered democracy by reverting to strong man rule. Observe Egypt rnd Ghana, Pak istan and Iraq, Indoner i :ud Korea, Cuba and France. The totalitarian philosophy of our “personification t evil,” Commu nism, has gained followers. But most sig nificant we observe tlx clouding of our enemy’s image. On January 18, 1963, East Berliners witnessed a public breakdown of relationship between Red Russia and Red China. Will this event merely introduce a two-headed version of the same monster or will it mark a repetition of history? Thirty years ago the Fuehrer stole Italy’s thunder; can the First Chairman of the People’s Republic of China do the same? Will someone, someday, say the wind shift ed in January of 1963? J.L.

THE MODEL “A perfect pose!” The old man stepped out from behind the easel and looked at his model. She didn’t say a word. She was obedient — the most obedient model he had ever had — that is, since his wife pas sed away. The old painter loved his wife. They were married for more than forty years. She was the perfect woman, the perfect mate, and the perfect model. There was never a quarrel between them. She had al ways been a comfort to him. Both the artist and his wife were eigh teen years old when they were married. At that time his ability as a portrait painter was recognized only in the small rural area in southern France where he was born. There he usually did his work for nothing — as a favor for friends. He had never really considered selling any paint ings. The first years of their married life elapsed on his father’s small farm. It was a serene place and undoubtedly provided an inspirational • uing for the young ar tist. He and hi wife often retreated into the wooded arc, that adjoined the north ern boundary c: the farm. There they found time to discuss the past, enjoy the present, and plan for the future. The young man loved his wife very much and used her as the subject for many of his pictures. In turn she was very gracious and bestowed much praise on all of his work. She tried as well as she could to persuade him to sell a few of his best paintings, but he feared that they would only be greeted by disapproving eyes and laughter. His wife was insistent, however, and conspired with a number of his friends instructing them to persuade him. The combined efforts were fruitful. Her hus band finally decided to show two of his paintings to an art dealer in Paris. This decision was a wise one. The pic tures were received with high praise, and in a short time his fame was spread throughout France. The critics could find little fault with his freely flowing style and outstanding use of color. Wealthy people of France commission ed him to produce an unceasing number of portraits and landscapes. English, Ger man, and Italian noblemen soon heard of I this French countrymean with his “golden 137

touch” and offered prices for his work. To the painter the years seemed like days. He worked frantically trying to meet all his obligations. With a good share of his earnings, he remodeled the small farm home. With the rest he purchased the best of clothing and jewelry for his beloved wife. But then hard times came. For no apparent reason the enthusiastic interest in his work seem ed to die away. His earnings decreased to almost nothing; the money he could have saved had been foolishly wasted. His par ents died, and he and his wife were alone in the now large country home in southern France. Now it was all up to his wife, and she played her role well. The bottom had drop ped out of everything. She was the only one he could turn to for comfort. He need ed her now more than ever before; she would not let him down. Against his will she sold all her jewelry and used the mon ey to pay the many debts which he had acquired. Little by little things grew better. Weal thy friends, which ho had made during his prosperous years, commissioned him to paint a few portraits. Slowly his life be gan to straighten out again, and she was at his side every inch of the way. Yes, his time was well occupied; and it remained that way. It remained that way until a week after the elderly couple had celebrated the fortieth anniversary of their wedding. The old painter’s wife sud denly became ill. He refused to believe that she would die. He would not accept any comfort that friends and neighbors tried to offer. He called in one physician after the other; but all they could say was, “I am sorry, but I can’t do anything for her. I can’t do anything at all.” Now grief ruled his life. Cancer, that flesh-and-bone-destroying disease, had tom her from him and had caused her to join his ancestors in the family vault in the basement. The old painter was the only one left. His bachelor brother was seven years deceased, and the rest of the family had already turned to dust. To make every thing worse, he had no children of his own. “You need perfume.” The old man dis appeared into the bedroom and returned shortly with a small bottle of perfume.

“My wife always wore this when she posed for me. She didn’t like the smell of oils. If—if you would allow me to put a little on you, please— you look a lot like her, you know. She always wore it. Please, under stand. It smells good.” There was no reply. She was obedient — the most obedient model he had ever had — that is, since his wife died. “I’ll open the window, too. Fresh air will take away some of the smell of — of the oils.” He slowly clutched the heavy curtain in his left hand and turned it aside. He tried to pull the window open with the other hand, but it was warped shut. His wife had been the last one td close it, and since then it was never touched. The curtain folded back into place. “It’s no use.” He returned to the easel. His thin wrinkled hand rose painfully to push back the long white hair that hid his forehead, and on the way down it paused to remove a lingering tear. The old man looked at his model again and dipped his brush into the mudgray pigment that covered most of his palette. His feeble hand trembled as it started toward the canvas. The image of his wife appeared to him again and again

in the form of that model. Another small tear rolled to the comer of his eye and soon lost its way in the wrinkled paths of his desiccated cheek. Gray dripped here and there on the rough surface of the canvas. In his sorrow the old man wasn’t able to concentrate. In truth he hadn’t sold a single painting since the time of her death. The critics saw the beauty, once in his soul, buried with her. The painter knew this too. He looked at his model. “It’s not worth it,” he start ed. “I’m just wasting your time. I don’t know why I brought you here. You remind me of my wife very much, I guess. I thought you might — but now I know. It— it’ll never be the same.” This time the old man wept. He took her coat from the hanger. “I brought you here in the first place. You don’t have to walk back alone. I’ll take you.” Gently he lifted her from the chair in his studio. His footsteps echoed quietly down the long corridor that led to the base ment. Then there was nothing but weep ing — the soft weeping that came from the vault where he laid her to rest once again.

THE PRESIDENT'S TAX PLAN President Kennedy’s plan of tax reform and reduction, in brief, consists of three major proposals. They are as follows: 1. A cut in income tax rates for every tax payer in the country, both personal and corporate. 2. A major revision of present tax laws which would result in stiffer tax rules for most. 3. A three-year program, beginning in 1963 and being completed in 1965, in order to bring about these chang es. As a result of lower rates, tax cuts would amount to 11 billion dollars annual ly for individuals, 2.6 billion for corpora tions, and an additional 700 million dol lars brought about by more modem rules aimed at “relief of hardship and encour agement of growth.” A tax increase of 4.1 billion would be produced by tighten ing the rules on tax deductions and special exemptions which are allowed under pre sent law. The result, once this program is at full strength would be a net tax cut of 10.2 billion dollars a year. On a dollar basis, the biggest cuts would go to those in the upper brackets. On a percentage basis, the largest reductions would go to lower-income people. As a result of this program the ervire set of present revenue laws would be changed. All taxpayers would have to learn these new laws in or der to pay their taxes. As was stated, personal tax liabilities would be decreased by 11 billion dollars. This would be accomplished by reducing rates from their present level of 20-91% to 14-65% in three years. This means that single people would pay 14% on their first $1,000 of taxable income (income af ter personal exemptions and deductions). On the next $1,000, the rate would be 16%. 1962 20-91% 1962 18%

Tax Rate Schedule 63-65 1965 1964 1963 18.5-84.5% 15.5-71.5% 14-65% Withholding Tax 1964 1963 15.5% 13.5%

1965 13.5%

From there the rates would proportionate ly increase to a maximum of 65% on any income above $200,000. Married taxpay ers, filing joint returns, would pay 14% on their first $2,000, 16% on the next

$2,000, to a maximum of 65% on any tax able income above $400,000. The whole system of personal tax de ductions also will be revised. Mr. Kennedy told Congress, “I recommend that itemized deductions, which now average about 20% of adjusted gross incomes, be limited to those in excess of 5% of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income.” The President as serts that this “reform” would produce 2.3 billion dollars a year in tax revenue. The idea is this: Each taxpayer, in itemizing his personal deductions, would sum up his deductions and then subtract an amount equal to 5% of his income. Only the re mainder would be deductible. For exam ple : A married taxpayer with two children has an income of $10,000. His itemized deductions add up to $1,800, and are de ductible under present law. His tax would be $1,196. Under the new system he would take 5% of his income which would be $500, subtract that amount from the $1,800, and be left with the remainder, $1,300, as his deductible amount. Without the limit on deductions, his tax at the President’s lower rates would be $924. With the limit, his tax would be $1,014. Thus, he would save only $182, instead of $272. Mr. Kennedy figures that an addi tional 6.5 million taxpayers would no lon ger itemize, but still benefit in the long run. The standard deduction method (10 % of income up to a maximum of $1,000) would become more advantageous. Under present law, medical expense above 3% of income is deductible. The cost of drugs above 1% is counted as medical expense. The President proposes the merger of these two. Medical and drug expense combined, above 4% of income, would be deductible. Maximum medical deduction would also be removed. Casualty losses of major de gree would have to exceed 4% of the tax payer’s income in order to be deductible. Now, such losses, if not insured, are totally deductible. All these deductions, however, would bo subject to the general rule on de ductions: that such amounts can be de ducted only in amounts above 5% of in come. As has been shown the standard deduc tion will become the b^st bet for many more taxpayers than now use it. But not

even this will remain the same. This change will be a major benefit to those of low-income. Says Mr. Kennedy, “I rec ommend the adoption of a minimum stan dard deduction of $300 ($150 for each spouse filing a separate return) plus $100 per dependent up to the present maximum of $1,000.” Under persent law, 10% of income is the highest standard deduction permitted. Therefore, a taxpayer with an income of $2,000 may deduct 10% or $200. Under the President’s plan the taxpayer would get a deduction of $300 if he is single, $400 if he is married and has one child, and $500 if he has two children. It is estimated that between 750,000 and 1 million taxpayers would be relieved of all tax. The following table shows how the exempt level would change: Single Married, no Married, 2 children children Present: $667 $1,333 $2,667 Proposed: $900 $1,500 $2,900 The President’s plan sounds good if the plan itself is the only thing considered. But Congress is taking a dimmer view of it. In both the House and Senate members have clearly stated that the plan contains too many political and economic dangers. Predictions are that Congress will defeat all but a few of the proposals mentioned above. For if all these tax cuts come about, a deficit now being projected at 11.9 billion dollars for the next accounting year could hit 15 billion, or more. Deficits mean that the debt ceiling, now at 308 billion dollars, will also have to rise, and the na-

tional debt will be a political issue in 1964. Inflation and the loss of the U. S. dollar as a key currency in the world are also feared. It seems impossible that the President can cut taxes (10.2 billion in three years) and then present the largest budget of all time (98.8 billion), calling for increased spend ing. But Mr. Kennedy insists that his bud get is necessary for the safety and advance of the country. He declares that his tax program will promote business expansion and even, in time, balance the budget. As he sees it, “If an individual spends frivo lously beyond his means today and bor rows beyond his prospects for earning to morrow, this is a sign of weakenss. But if he borrows prudently to invest in a machine that boosts his business profits . . this can be a source of strength. The re covery that was initiated shortly after I took office now stands poised at a moment of decision. The main block to full em ployment is an unrealistically heavy bur den of taxation. The time has come to re move it.” This article was meant to give a brief insight into the President’s plan. Many more things are involved. Personal appli cations were stressed because they were thought to be the ones that would interest the majority of the readers of this article. If you have pertinent suggestions concern ing these proposals, the best place for you to present them is in a letter to your Con gressman. For they will make the deci K. P. sions.

THE SCHOOLS BEHIND THE TEAMS This is ^he second and final install ment of an article taking a look at the schools in the newly organized Gateway Conference. NWC has been meeting the athletic teams from these colleges for nearly one year now.

versity of Illinois, which has its main and oldest campus in Champaign-Urbana, 128 miles south of Chicago. The University of Illinois is a land grant college and was founded in 1868. The Champaign-Urbana campus, UIC, and the Medical Center in Chicago constitute the three divisions of the University of Illinois. University Competition UIC itself was founded in 1946 and UIC, the University of Illinois - Chi caters primarily to students who find it cago, is the only full-fledged university advantageous to live in the Chicago area against whom the Trojans have athletic while attending school. The campus is competition. It is a division of the Uni- located along Lake Michigan on Chicago’s 140

Navy Pier. The school boasts 75 class rooms and 35 fully-equipped laboratories. The courses offered at UIC are exactly like those offered at the Urbana campus. At the present time, one cannot obtain a degree from UIC, since only a two-year program is offered in its four colleges — Commerce and Business Administration, Engineering, Liberal Arts (no classical studies are included), and Physical Edu cation. Apparently the setup is somewhat similar to that existing in several fields in Wisconsin’s UWM and UW. The school also offers courses neces sary for admission to professional colleges of law, medicine, pharmacy, and journal ism. Plans have been completed to relocate UIC and turn it into a four-year college which would grant degrees. The new site,* located just south of the Congress Express way, should be ready for occupancy by 1964 and will be* named the University of Illinois at Congress Circle. Fides Milton Coll» • has long been an ath letic rival to NWC. It is located in Milton, Wisconsin, 34 miles south of Watertown in the pictu . sque Lake Koshkonong region. Milton was founded in 1844 by Joseph Goodrich and was originally known as Du Lac Academy The school is Christian in outlook, but no religious qualifications are required of its students or professors. It is a nonsectarian school and has no official church connections. Goodrich him self was a Seventh Day Baptist, and the college has had a sympathetic relationship with that denomination throughout its history. Milton does, however, seek the support of churches and religious organ izations in southern Wisconsin. Milton is dedicated to liberal arts edu cation and grants BA and BS degrees upon completion of the four-year program. Among the fields that one can major in at Milton are biology, chemistry, mathe matics, English, Spanish, music, econ omics, history, and social science. There are four dormitories on cam pus — two for men and two for women. Most of the remainder of the 400 students live in off-campus rooming houses and others commute from nearby Wisconsin and Illinois towns. 141

Milton has long been noted for its operatic and dramatic productions. It boasts that its record of sixty consecutive years of staging Shakespearean plays is unparalleled in American colleges. ”1 Have Found It” Eureka College, in Eureka, Illinois, is located in central Illinois, 20 miles east of Peoria, between Chicago and Springfield. Eureka is a relatively prosperous residen tial community and gives the college some financial support. The campus covers 40 acres of wooded land. Two of its notable features are the Lilac Arboretum and the Rinker Open Air Theater. This theater is used for present ing plays and pageants as well as for stu dent assemblies. The turf is terraced for seating and the stage is set off by shrub bery. There are four classroom and ad ministrative buildings and five dormitories on campus. Eureka was founded in 1848 and went by the name of Walnut Grove Academy until it was granted a charter and obtained its present name in 1855. Most of the founders were connected with the religious movement known as the Disciples of Christ. Through the years this denomina tion has contributed significant financial support as well as a large number of its students. Eureka’s aim is to offer a Christianoriented liberal arts education. It grants BA and BS degrees. Eureka College has what it calls an “intensive study plan” in which the stu dent takes fewer courses than he might ordinarily take and concentrates on them. The school year is divided into four 8% week quarters, and students receive final grades four times a year. Although Eureka is supported by the Disciples of Christ, it has students of many denominations and has as one of its pur poses the exchange of views on Christian faith and practice. The attendance of all students at assembly and chapel, regardless of religious views, is a strictly enforced requirement. One segment of the student body is preparing for the ministry. They are given opportunities to preach at regu lar meetings. State and national leaders are often guest speakers. Eureka has around 325 students, one third of whom are women.

In Trust With the Gospel The motto of Trinity College, transla ted above, is from I Thessalonians 2:4 of the Greek New Testament. Trinity College and Trinity Theological Seminary is the result of a union between The Evangelical Free Church Seminary and Bible Institute of Chicago, Illinois, Trinity Seminary and Bible Institute of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The union of these two schools took place in 1946. The purpose of both these institutions was to train workers for the ministry of the Evan gelical Free Church of America. The Chicago school was founded in 1897 and was called the Swedish Bible Institute. At first it offered a ten-week Bible course. In 1908 it began offering a three-year Bible course and in 1926 it be came a full-fledged seminary. The Minneapolis school was founded in 1885. Its purpose was to train pastors for the Norwegian-Danish Free Churches in the United States. The present Trinity College is support ed by the Evangelical Free Church of Am erica, but depends also on the gifts of Christian friends to supplement tuition and room and board fees. (Tuition and room and board run about $1250 per year.) It is a liberal arts school and trains teach ers for public schools as well as parochial

school teachers and pastors. Ministerial students are required to take at least two years of foreign language. Four years of New Testament Greek are offered. TC’s “Statement of Faith” makes some fine statements regarding the inspiration of Scripture and justification. But we would differ with them in their doctrines on the sacraments and the Church. The college campus itself is located in the Ravenwood district of Chicago. One main building houses a library, and class rooms and administration rooms. On the third floor of this building is the men’s dorm. There are six women’s residences on the campus. Plans have been made to relocate TC to a 79 acre site of wooded land in Bannockburn along the Tri-State Tollway. At present Trinity has an enrollment of 284 students and slightly more than half are coeds. The make-up of this com paratively small student body is very in teresting. Students conic from 26 states and the District of Columbia, and from no fewer than seven foreign countries — Canada, Formosa, Hong Kong, Jordan, Norway, Southern Rhodesia, and Switzer land. Sixteen religious denominations are represented at TC. Four students claim a. w. Lutheran affiliation.

Anticipation has become reality now that the installation of the organ in our chapel is being completed. The organ was constructed by the Schlicker Organ Company in Buffalo, New York, and after a complete factory test a van delivered the parts here. Several pews have been removed on the west side of the chapel to make room for the console, and the pipes are to be located in the room east of the chancel.

Until recently our basketball games had no organized cheering section to back our teams, Now the Frosh class has formed “The Roaring Twenty”, and there is a spirit of enthusiasm that is equal that of any time when there were official cheerleaders. The group should be given credit for taking the lead in rooting for Northwestern’s teams.

An innovation on our musical calendar this year is the Pop Concert. The band and Male Chorus presented a program of popular music which included marches, hits from musical shows, and a special selection of typi' cally American songs as arranged by our music director, Professor Arnold Lehmann.

u 1 Valentine’s Day was named after a Christian martyr whom Claudius executed at Rome in 270 A.D. Februray 14 was set aside to honor this saint. The premier of Valentine’s Day got off to a poor start. In ancient Roman history a lover’s feast, the “Supercalian orgy”, fell on Feb ruary 15. Later this orgy was incorpor ated into the day set aside for the remem brance of Saint Valentine’s execution. Or else Valentine’s Day was incorporated into the “Supercalia.” Take ypur pick. Well anyway. On this day little girls giggle at little boys and big boys giggle at big girls. Later on this too is incorpor ated into an execution. In modem history (post Antony and Cleopatra) it has become notorious be cause of a Chicago gangland massacre, where many hearts were shot to pieces — and not by Cupid either.

After having selected our subjects last month for this second semester, we figured everything would be set when we returned to resume classes after exams. Ah, it was an experience to cherish, a heart-warming little tale to tell our grandkiddies, after we become the whole cheese. The first day of the new semester started in somewhat an auspicious manner. I saw two eagles swoop down from the west and chase Dave Neuman across the campus; plus there were three co-eds walking between the buildings in -36 degree weather, and they actually were wearing coats. Well, all sys tems were go. Gulp down your Nerp-chirp breakfast food. Color you sick.

This was to be no uneventful year at the books. The Seniors met in room 14. The room was in the right place, but many of the Seniors were not. Quite a few Seniors had made last minute changes in their schedule so as to avoid Saturday classes. So it was no surprise then when three professors walked into the room. There was some discussion as to whose class it was. But the conclave soon broke up when it was learned that a Junior' class meeting was in session. Well now. After the meeting broke up everyone filed into his respective classroom. And another well now. We had no more than sat down when two janitors walked in. “Enough, enough,” went up the cry. To remedy the situation for the future, a few suggestions have been drawn up which may help to confuse you. 1. No more Junior class meetings. 2. Have only Senior classes on Sat urday. 3. Require the janitors to register for classes. * The object of an education is, of course, to see how little you can learn at school, because all the courses are worth less anyway. The students have devised many clev er little ways to take the professor off onto paths which do not lead to education. The best techniques are the tried and tested methods of old: 1. Asking irrele vant questions. 2. Getting the professor to relate personal experiences. 3. Ques-. tioning the professor about school affairs which he feels he must discuss since the students are so interested, but which are not related to the subject. 4. Seemingly lively class discussion in an otherwise dead class. This form is used to waste several periods and thus delay tests. 5. Complaining that the assignments and home-work are too much. This is guaran teed to shoot at least two periods. 6. Foul ing up the roll call can be good for a five to ten minute waste per day. 7. Last but not least is the excuse of slow clocks and defective bells. The professors could beware of these easily as they are not too clever, but they may be deceptive because of their sim plicity and apparent honesty. The student, of course, has everything to gain by these

methods, namely less home-work and shorter assignments. But the purpose of an education is to give to the student a lever with which to lift the heavy tasks that he will one day meet. Tho poorer the education, the shorter the lever, _ ... ^ _ U was 80 c°Id bere 1 thouSht ‘hat 1 was m Minnesota where even though cars aever rua- the d°g‘8led companies do a thn™§ business.

But once one car was started, the rest could easily be started. The sequence of events was what one might expect. First of all a Ford was started. By using jumper-cables the Fords started the Chevies and so on down the line except for Dodges which never start. When all the cars were going we got out and wound up the Volkswagcus. In all fairness though, it should be stated that Volkswagens were not designed for this cold Mid-west diet. Actually VWs run best on sauer-kraut and beer.

Score Nearly 100 Against MIT The Trojans tallied their largest point total of the season when they played the Bluejays of Milwaukee Institute of Technology. The final score saw NWC on the winning end of a 94-75 score. The game was played in Watertown on January 15. MIT is not a member of the Gateway Con ference. The victory gives the Trojans a 4-4 season record. ■

147

Surprisingly enough, the first half was very close. MIT was usually ahead by about two points or so. But when the half time buzzer sounded the score was tied at 45-45. In the second half the Trojan of fense did some college work and really poured on the steam, scoring 49 points compared to the Bluejays* 30 points. Thus Coach Pieper could use his bench strength freely.

came in the first half when he was doing an exceptionally fine job under the boards. Dave Toepel was second with 11 points and Kock scored 10.

Without a doubt, this game was the finest the Trojans have played so far this year. The game saw a lot of teamwork and coordination. Gene Kock again led the scoring for Northwestern with 24 pts., Lynn Schroeder was second with 16, and Dallas Beckner had 12.

Eureka Wins by One Point 73-72 The Trojans continued to have bad luck in conference competition. On Janu ary 18 they fell victims to Eureka College of Eureka, Illinois. The loss would have been somewhat easier to take had not the margin been only one point. Now the Trojans have a 1-5 conference record. NWC did get off to a good start and held the lead through most of the game. Early in the game they led 21-12. But then Eureka started catching up, and by half time the Trojans had only a one point lead. The Trojans moved ahead again in the second half and were leading 51-42. Again Eureka caught up and held on to a slim lead until the final buzzer sounded. Kock and Bill Meier shared the scoring honors. Meier played his best game so far this season, scoring on several tip-ins and coming down with numerous rebounds. Each of them scored 20 points. The game was played in the Northwes tern gymnasium.

Lose First Game After Semester Break to UIC On February 1 NWC came out on the short end of an 80-70 final score in their second and final basketball encounter with UIC this year. Most of the first half was fairly close. But after 11 minutes had ex pired UIC began to move ahead steadily and by half time they led 44-35. The Tro jans played with determination during the second half and, having the support of an enthusiastic student body, trimmed UIC’s lead to only one point midway in the sec ond half. But then UIC bounced back and scored 13 points in a row to regain a se cure lead which the Trojans were unable to overcome. UIC scored 22 points on free throws alone, missing only 4 attempts. The Trojans were hampered by the fact that Clarke Sievert was sidelined due to ill health. Kock led the scoring for Northwestern with 22 points; Beckner had 17; Scharf 13; and Schroeder, 12. Team work credit goes to Schroeder and Kock. The NWC gym was the scene of the action.

Decisive Win Over George Williams The Trojans played their final game be fore the two-week semester examination lay-off against George Williams College of Chicago on January 19, beating them 8768. The game was played at Northwestern. This was a Gateway Conference game and gives the Trojans a 2-5 conference record. The NWC five played some of their best ball of the season in the opening half of the game. Although the first few min utes were close, NWC held a 20 point lead at the half and increased that lead to 27 points early in the second half. At that point Coach Pieper started using his bench strength freely. All the Trojans saw plen ty of action. Towards the end of the game the referees called numerous fouls. The game had a total of 48 personal fouls. The Trojans ended up with a 19 point scoring margin. Beckner was high scorer for the Tro jans with 23 points. Seventeen of them

Another Three Point Loss to Trinity Trinity College of Chicago beat the Trojans for the second time this year by a three-point margin. This time the score was 75-72. The game was played Febru ary 2 in Chicago. Northwestern had a handicap at the outset. Because of ill health Sievert, Toepel, A1 Just, and Paul Kelm remained in Watertown. The game itself was nearly a repeat of the previous night’s loss to UIC. TC jump ed out to a 13-3 lead and held a 10 point lead through the first half. The half-time score was 40-30. An early second half rally sparked by Kock and Beckner put the Trojans within 3 points of the lead. But Trinity was able to retain a slim margin and finally won 75-72. Beckner continued his fine playing and led Trojan scoring with 22 points. Ron Hahm had 13, Kock and Scharf had 12 apiece.

Milton Wins By Two The Wildcats of Milton College handed the Trojans their third straight basket ball loss on February 5. The game was played in Watertown. The two point mar gin in the final 58-56 score was the fifth loss this season for NWC by three points or less. Milton beat the Trojans earlier this season by two points. Northwestern’s conference record is now 2-8; Milton’s is 6-2. The first half of the game was close and two point leads seesawed back and forth. By stalling out the final minutes of the period Milton was able to hold a 31-29 half-time lead. NWC held the lead momen tarily at the start of the second half but then Milton scored eight points in a row on fast breaks. The Trojans couldn’t quite overcome this lead. Faulty ball handling was one of the causes for the loss. Beckner was high scorer for NWC with 13 points; Schroeder had 11.

MIT Outshoots NWC The Trojans weakened their season re cord to 5-9 February 9, by losing to MIT in Milwaukee. The final score was 92-71. One MIT player was the prime cause of the Northwestern loss. He was John Pate, a recent addition to the MIT team, who scored 45 points. The Trojans led in the game through much of the first half and were trailing by three, 43-40, at the end of the first period. In the second half MIT scored 20 points in succession and at one time held a 30 point lead. In the closing minutes of the game the Trojans narrowed that gap to 21. Kock led the Trojans with 20 points followed by Beckner with 14 for the game. Bowling Lead Tied The top three teams in NWC’s bowling league moved still closer together in the league standings. The Juniors of East Gate Inn and the Seniors of Green Bowl, the defending champions, are virtually tied for first place. Mullens, the faculty team, is a mere two games behind.

For your own sake, primarily, because AAL is the most significant life insurance organization available to eligible Lutherans. On a straight dollar basis, too, AAL makes the most sense. No other life insurance source offers Lutherans more values ... none delivers these values at a lower net cost. And. in addition to monetary considerations and the latest in flexible plans to meet your future life insurance needs, Aid Association for Luther ans makes you a participating partner in an annual, million dollar fraternal and benevolence program which helps support many Lutheran causes and institutions. Use any value you like—search as hard as you like—AAL gives you more lifelong advantages, deeper personal satisfactions, and a lower net cost.

There is not a man on this earth who isn’t lazy. Languor of the flesh is one of the most common sins. Since we all have our old man to contend with, none of us will ever be completely rid of the tempta tions of Satan in this world. We all know that our spirit is willing, but our flesh is weak. Naturally, we can’t expect to be entire ly free of a certain amount of negligence even here at Northwestern. However, let’s face the facts squarely. We students are guilty of much more than a little apathy in our work here. Of course, we could at tempt to gloss it over by giving all sorts of excuses, the most plausible of which is the plea to inaptitude. But this excuse is com pletely shattered when we notice that not only is our work done shoddily in lan guages and humanities, but even in the sweetest of all subjects, the study of the Word of God. Surely no one can give the excuse that he doesn’t have an inclination for this subject. Even if we should grant, for the sake of argument, that a certain language course won’t do us much good later on in life, can we as chosen children of God imagine that studying the Bible is a waste of time in any sense of the Word? Of course not, because the Holy Spirit has borne witness with our spirit that this Everlasting Truth is the true source of life for us. Yet we continually neglect even the most fundamental assignments in our Re ligion courses. Thus we see that the devil is not only at work at Northwestern, but he is at work vigorously and with such strength that we even think we are with an excuse when we neglect the precious Word of God. We also see that our lack of interest in other classes is not justifiable on the grounds of our specious rationalizations, such as “I’ll never use that anyway; I just can’t force myself to do anything for class es; I’m just not able to take an interest in languages.” Now, of course, if a person doesn’t know something, he won’t be able to use it, but the courses up here aren’t only for disciplinary training, as our flesh would have us believe. Our work here at 150

Northwestern has been set up by our elders in such a way that we will be better equip ped to serve in the Lord’s Kingdom. Our elders know what is most needed by us for our future work. In other words, our work here at Northwestern is to help us, not tor ment us, help us to be better equipped to serve our Lord. That we don’t admit it’s usefulness is another demonstration of the devil working through our old man. It’s truly sad when the very people who pos sess the whole counsel of God, based sole ly on the sure Word of Scriptures, have been so influenced by Satan that they im agine the Bible can be treated with such indifference that the words of the Holy Spirit as they were placed down in Scrip tures deserve nothing more than a slight conversant acquaintanceship. As you can probably see, the people I’m referring to here are none other than the Northwestern student body. Of course, most of us would n’t have much need to understand Hebrew and Greek if the Bible were written in Eng lish. But since it is written in these lan guages, we find it imperative for our pur poses to thoroughly understand them. This is so lucid to us if we think about it that we see what a great havoc the flesh has worked by causing us to try to rationalize it away. Our daily work here is definitely useful. Even our tests are for our benefit, for how else could we gauge our progress in our work? For this reason we ought to en courage our professors to give more com prehensive and thorough tests rather than whine around like children for shorter easier tests. “Of course this is all nice and ideal, but everybody knows it never works in ev eryday life. It’s no use even trying.” How much more fleshly can we get? Let’s take a look at everyday life. Let’s look at the practical, the realities of life. On the one hand we see our lazy old man, and we are truly tempted to despair. But wait a min ute, don’t we have the powerful strength ening aid of an Almighty God? Doesn’t the very Word of our Almighty Father say plainly and surely, “Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee, and thou

us through this life. However, even this sweat of our brow is sweet for us when we realize that our working is the will of God. This is the will of the same God who didn’t shrink from working a million times hard er than we ever could in order to save us from our sins. After He has given us eter nal life in His gracious will, how can we be so lazy as to shrink from a little sweat on this earth? In closing, I’d like to recall what one of our professors said recently. “Whether we’re naturally brilliant or not, that’s God’s business. Only God can give us a high I. Q., and he doesn’t expect us all to get straight A’s. But He does want diligence and faithfulness in our efforts. All of us as Christians are to put forth a real effort.”

shalt glorify me?” Don’t we have numer ous promises throughout the Bible that come right out and say “to whomever knocketh, it shall be opened?” I know per sonally that this is no empty promise, be cause many have been the times that I couldn’t muster up the will power to study for a test until I recalled these promises of the Lord and humbly asked for strength. If these Words of Strength were only in our thoughts before we do all of our work! We do well to remember one important thing. God has not promised to do our work for us in some magical manner. The reason for this is simple. God gave man work as a blessing. Work is in no way a penalty, especially not work in the King dom of God. The “sweat of our brow” in which we have to do our work is a result of sin, a consequence that will stick with

BILL PROXMIRE ON CAMPUS

s !

.• .

r i

By his presence alone Edward William “Bill” Proxmire, the senior Senator from the State of Wisconsin, emphasized to 125 rapt listeners attending the first of a series of Dorm Council lectures why his cinderella-like success in capturing the senate seat left vacant by the late ultra-conserva tive Joe McCarthy was no fluke. His wellmodulated, unaffected, powerful, calculated-yet-sincere message and method of de livery left even the most conservative of Northwestern’s conservative hard core ad mitting that “for a Democrat, he’s all right!” To say it another way, the whole tenor of the Senator’s visit, February 14th, hit home. His talk was wrapped in a soft cushion of practice-what-you-preach effec tiveness. As a speechmaker the Senator spread out a smorgasboard selection of important and controversial national issues, tantalizingly arranging them about an expected ample main course of wake-watch-andwork anti-Communism. Basically, accord ing to Mr. Proxmire, the American situa tion is both hopeful and dangerous. For the first time in history Uncle Sam is not scrambling for the top spot but is sitting there. The temptation is great to lose meaningful national direction in the care less comfort of false materialistic security. Power is the answer, but power a step beyond the military. Today might is essen tial — “the only real language the Commu-

nists understand and negotiate with” —, but merely instrumental — “all the revo lutions since 1945, with the possible ex ception of Czechoslovakia, were won by determined men assisted by the military, not dominated by it.” If it is true that bombs kill men but don’t convince them, Proxmire zeroes in on the ultimate weapon when he states, “Educated brain power is the most important ingredient to power.” An America which turns to building brains instead of bombs may well succeed in proselytizing abroad the “American moral committment to freedom” where men, might, and money have not, and put to shame the empty hand of false hope that Communism holds out to the “Underde veloped” today. What about Kennedy? He’s attractive,” and she’s “devastating,” but beyond that the $98.8 billion budget is much too high, and the federal government is getting dangerously large. A strange sound, per haps, that doesn’t ring true from the mouth of a liberal, but then by his own admission Proxmire is far from “party true blue” (As a freshman Senator he singlehandedly challenged the powerful Johnson Rayburn duo). Only for the Peace Corps and Food for Peace plans can any measure of senatorial approval be detected, and that because these programs are cheap, not conductive to government centraliza tion, and dedicated to the belief that one

151

educated mind can be of help to another not so fortunate. As a question-answer speaker Senator Proxmire underscored the sincerity of his plea for education and preparedness by being both on his toes and well-informed in handling the many questions ranging from his pet problem, the oil depletion al

lowance, to one of ours, federal aid to pa rochial schools. When all was said and done, — and cordially eaten, Senator Bill left as he came, putting all of his wiry 160 lbs. into a hearty handshake that didn’t betray a daily ritual of 215 pushups. J. L.

THE GREATNESS OF "CATCHER IN THE RYE" In 1953 a book was published which has recently excited the reading public in America. Although it didn’t catch on at first, Catcher in the Rye has really caught fire in the past year and a half, and it has sold over two and one-half million copies in hard cover. This one novel has already sold more copies in hard cover than all the novels of Wil liam Faulkner put together. Catcher in the Rye can truly be designated as a literary sensation. The author of this novel, J. D. Salin ger, was bom in New York City in 1919. He attended public schools, a military academy, and three colleges. From 1942 to 1946 he served in the Army. He has been writing since he was fifteen, and some of his short stories have appeared in many magazines. Not withstanding the • tremendous popularity of his works, Salin ger is by no means voluminous. In fact, his total literary output consists of the novel Catcher in the Rye and eleven short stories, including his two latest, Frannie and Zooey. At present Salinger is living in complete privacy, and he has admitted only one person for an interview since 1947. In his literature he has attempted to create a “glass house” of Caulfield, Frannie, and Zooey. Except for these essentially good people he judges the world and society to be completely rotten and corrupt. In Catcher in the Rye we note that Salinger distinguishes between three types of depraved people in our society. These are the phonies, the perverts, and the pests. People belonging to all three of these groups are continually coming into contact with Holden Caulfield, the sixteen year old boy in Catcher in the Rye. Be cause he is unable to cope with these types of people at school, Caulfield is so perplexed that he cannot concentrate on

any of his studies and flunks out. He de cides to leave even earlier than he has to because of the perplexing circumstances at school. Consequently, he spends the next forty-eight hours on his own in New York City, but his problems only become more complex. Since the story is "narrated” by Caul field, Salinger uses the lanuage and im agery appropriate to a bewildered sixteenyear old. Phrases like “no kidding,” "gor geous,” and frequent vulgarisms and male dictions are employed. Salinger makes every word count in this novel, and des criptions of people and things are very relevant to his dominant themes and moods. As far as style goes, Salinger is impeccable. Caulfield himself is supposed to be telling the story, so naturally everything is described by means of Caulfield’s sub jective interpretation. How much of this is just Caulfield’s, and how much is Sal inger’s attempt to justify his withdrawal from society is, of course, hard to say. However, we do find similarities between Caulfield and Salinger. Both went to sev eral different schools and both detest society. We also notice that Caulfield has a decided aversion for the army because his brother was in it for four years and couldn’t stand it. It wasn’t the fighting he didn’t like, but just being in the army with .all the phonies for so long a time. When we recall that Salinger had a fouryear hitch during the Second World War, and went into virtual seclusion after that, we detect a congruity of ideas. However interesting such a compar ison might be, it would never be more than conjecture. For this reason I am go ing to restrict myself to a treatment of Caulfield and the world of Caulfield. He could be classified as an extreme neurotic of the manic-depressive type. He is either

152

' '• • 1 ! I

/•

;>i .

very excited or very depressed and his emotional tone is very easily changed to the opposite polarity by the least distur bance. As is the case with neurotics, Caul field thrives on wish fulfillment. For in stance, we see him imagining he is plug ging a swindler in the hotel in New York. We also find him pretending to be very tough after getting beat up by Stradlater, his roommate. Twice he pretends to be shot in order to amuse himself in his loneliness and doldrums. He rises from the lowest depression to the most intense excitement in moments. After his pas sions have cooled, he asserts he is a mad man. He sees everything in extremes, his latent mental and emotional processes manifest themselves in sweeping hyper bolic generalizations and very definite opinions which dissipate immediately with the slightest new stimulus. We find him in very high spirits while teasing a girl named Sally in the back of a taxicab, and he even says he feels like marrying her. At this time she playfully suggests that his lovely hair be fixed differently. That’s all it takes to cause him to have a change of mood, not because she wants to change his style of hair, but because he is sure she is a phony when she says his hair is lovely. If he notices any little difference between his clothes or food and that of somebody else, he begins to hate the per son. Caulfield’s mental set has divided so ciety into the phonies, perverts, and pests. He maintains that the world is full of these three kinds of people. His school, Pensy, is full of phonies. The dean is very courteous to well-to-do parents, but quite noticeably snubs the poorer ones. Good meat is always served on Saturday night so that the parents who come to visit on Sunday will have a pleasing an swer to their inquiry about the food. Guys swipe something and give you a phony innocent look when you find it in their closet. Caulfield has been to two other schools, and both of them were full of phonies. When he leaves Pensy, he runs into people who are just as phony as those he left. Lillian Simmons is overly friendly to him so that he will tell his brother how nice she is. He goes to a night club and watches a piano player make a phony humble bow. The shows are all phony, the movies are even worse. What grinds

him most is the people who actually want to go to the show. The people in the lob by at the show converse about phony things in phony language. He just can’t stand the word “grand”. Those who aren’t phonies are perverts, or they are pests like Ackley, who lives next door to him at Pensy, the type of fel low who wouldn’t leave the room even if you asked him. He would annoy you so much that you wanted to smash him. Peo ple would annoy you and irk you by cut ting their toe nails in your face all the time. Even Phoebe, his sister, whom he liked very much, annoyed him once when she refused to sympathize with him after he was ejected from Pensy. Obtrusive people annoyed him wherever he went. So far it seems that Caulfield hated almost everybody. However, he claimed to like little children and some women. He especially liked them when they did something irresistably cute or becoming. He was very fond of his little sister Phoe be. In fact, she was the only person whom he wanted to see before he “ran away to Colorado.” He liked women who had charm like the mother of one of his classmates at Pensy. Once when he was walking down a street in New York in a very depressed mood, he observed a little boy walking along in the street next to the curb, and whistling, “If a body catch a body coming through the rye.” Later, when he was talking to his sister Phoebe and she chal lenged him to name one thing he really wanted to do, he said that he would like to be standing on a cliff, the only adult watching over a mess of children who are playing in the rye, so that he could catch any of them if they should happen to come towards the edge of the cliff. This imagery conveys his desire to guard inno cent children from the evil influence of a phony social environment. Although he completely despises phon ies, Caulfield admits lying to a girl while dancing with her just for kicks, even though he broke her heart. He lies to the mother of one of his classmates so pro fusely that he finally had to start reading a magazine in order to stop himself. He lied his way out of his history professor’s house while still at Pensy and after that incident he asserted that he was the big gest liar in the world.

153

Although he realized how unpleasant deliberate annoyances were to him, Caul field still purposely annoyed Ackley with sadistic malice. He intentionally smoked in front of his roommate Stradlater. The paradox between his judgment of how others should act and how he actually acted and felt himself was very manifest when he was watching a certain movie. He said that the movie was so putrid he couldn’t take his eyes off it. Of course, Caulfield argues that he didn’t really want to do any of these things, but he couldn’t help himself. He projects the guilt on a society which has corrupted him through its influences. He adduces several instances which argue that his parents surely had never seemed to show any conception of truth or real goodness, and as a result of his social in heritance he had only a strong revulsion against the depravity of society. That he is trying to prove his innocense on rational grounds is obviously not the case. He calls himself “crazy” and a “mad man", and readily admits he can’t understand himself. However, he refuses to go to a psychiatrist when his friend Luce suggests it to him, for he is sure that all psychiatrists are phonies anyway. The real force of Caulfield’s defense of himself and his actions is that he can’t help himself. He is just a helpless pawn in the face of social and emotional forces, and his behavior is moved by every cap rice and whim because he has no ability to control and change his responses to his environment. His moods cause him to do certain things, and he can’t help it. It seems to him that this reaction is in evitable. A psychiatrist might have been able to help Caulfield get outside himself, so to speak, and look at his problems ob jectively. Maybe he could’ve shown Caul field that his real problem was with him self, and not with the environment. He would have attempted to transmute Caul field’s negative hateful attitude to a pos itive loving attitude. However, Caulfield didn’t feel interested in this because he was so sure of the spurious character of all members of adult society. By doing so he cut himself off from what at best would be a partial analysis and partial therapy. It was really not very important as far as his condition was concerned. 154

We know that the analysis Caulfield, as well as all the others like him, have need of is that given so clearly in Ro mans 5. The only therapy that will give him a true peace of mind is that sum marized in John, 3, 16. The truly pathetic condition he is in is not even realized by Caulfield, much less the boundless grace which is offered to him through the mes sage of the Gospel. He speaks about hav ing read the Bible and says he admired Jesus, but hated the disciples so much that he was forced to quit reading. He finally came into contact with the Genuine One he was looking for, but didn’t realize it. This refusal to believe the Scriptural account of the genuine Godhead of Jesus is allegedly based on the infidelity of the disciples. Because he is completely blind ed by sin and the devil, he is led to even greater despair. This is the despair which all those living in death without Christ feel deep down in their heart. The only difference between the Caulfields or des pairing earth people and the optimistic earth people, as Paul calls the whole class of unbelievers, is that most of those living in death in this world haven’t the sensi tivity to it that a Caulfield has. They have learned to accustom themselves to their totally corrupted and depraved nature, and in many cases, are ostensibly happy. What value does a book like Catcher in the Rye have? In the fight of its in ability to offer a suitable analysis, and its total inability to offer a solution, we will have to say that by itself it can have no lasting value. In this sense I am only putting it in the same category with all other perverted books of sinful man in which he attempts to rationalize away his guilt of sin. But it is useful in a certain sense. It’s an excellent study of the emo tions and feelings of a neurotic person and of the feelings of many teenagers. We will also be able to see a few of the people we know described very well by Sal inger in respect to a certain facet of their personality. As I said before, it is so near ly perfect in its description of different types of people that one feels he knows the characters intimately. The most im portant feature of this book is that it gives us some more insight into the subtile workings of our sinful flesh. If a person is naturally buoyant, the devil tries to mislead him by work righteousness, but

here we have a case where the person is very much aware of the rotten condition of this world and himself. In this case the devil overwhelms the person with a feel ing of utter hopelessness and despondency and leads him to vent his hatred on the inevitable forces of his environment ra ther than clinging to the Genuine One revealed to him so plainly in the Word of God. Reading a book like this can only benefit us if we fortify our faith by eam-

est prayer before, during, and after our reading. We have a sinful old man who is just as easily deceived by the subtile rationalizations of the devil as Holden Caulfield was. Any attempt to mitigate this hard fact will only result in self de ception. It is only by the grace of God that we are not in the same dire straits as Caulfield, and we can never appreci ate this enough. h. w.

A MAN MUST BE A WITNESS OF HIS TIME A recent article in Time reveals the censorship of a Soviet novelist, Victor Nekrasov. This incident recalls an earlier suppresion, world-wide in scope and fatal in consequence, the denunciation in Russia of poet-author Boris Pasternak and his Nobel Prize winning novel Doctor Zhivago,

The storm of international controversy broke when the novel appeared in English translation, revealing to the Free World the emotions and hopes of the Russian man, condemning communism and the brutality with which it has become synonymous. 155

Pasternak was the last! in a line of Rus sian genius, following closely Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, with whom he has much in common. Intense nationalism and love for the Russian land and heritage has caused all three to write of the futile chase car ried on in the fatherland to find equality and a better way of life and afterlife cre ates their philosophy. All three portray the futility, despair, and sorrow which are the recurrent theme of Russian art, the same melancholia that pervades Tchaikov sky's “Pathetique”, that makes every Rus sian novel a tragedy. Pasternak has in herited this ominous trait in the literature of his country and writes with an innate tone of pathos. As an historian involved, Pasternak witnessed the turbid era of the early twen tieth century with its revolutions and re actions as well as the absolute autocracy which evolved from this period. As a boy of fourteen he saw the December Revolu tion of 1905 ravage Moscow. Twelve years later he was caught up in the February and October revolutions, which toppled Tsardom permanently and initiated the civil strife carried on between White and Red Bolsheviks. He saw his country in vaded during two World Wars and suffer ed under the tyranny of Lenin and the ter ror of Stalin. Early in his life he favored the revolution as had Dostoevsky and the other writers of his time; but he came to recognize the famine, plague and slaughter of the revolution for what it was, and he despised it. His writing strips the revo lution of all glory and prestige and por trays it as it was, human desecration. There is no more qualified historian of twentieth century Russia than Pasternak, and he has become a “witnes of his time.” It was as a poet that Boris Pasternak gained his fame. His style was free verse, his stock in trade beautiful imagery, sym bolism and an effective use of words. He wrote because he had to, of the moods and impressions that hovered over him. Un like the obsequious, fawning poets of his day, who lauded communism out of fear, Pasternak had the courage and moral con viction to write as he felt. He championed the right of poetic freedom. Most of his poems have been gathered into two auto biographical volumes, The Safe Conduct and I Remember. Two of these poems, The Year Nineteen Five and The High 156

Malady are bitter satires of the revolution and the apotheosis of Lenin. Pasternak was extremely familiar with the Bible, and many of the poems which form the last chapter of Doctor Zhivago dwell on the person of Christ. The Garden of Getlisemane, perhaps his greatest poem, is an elegy charged with emotion, breathing the spirit of farewell, both his and Christ’s. Four short novels are the total of Pas ternak’s work in prose prior to Doctor Zhivago. These deal with philosophical concepts, the nature of self and the nature of poetry. In the latter part of his life he began a series of translations which in cluded Shakespeare’s tragedies and the German philosophers. Pasternak’s value to Russian literature lies on three planes, poetry, prose, and translation, and in all three he conveys the sad fact he expressed: “Life is a tragedy.” For nearly twenty years the genius of Pasternak was unproductive. During the thirties and forties Stalin ruled every phase of Russian life, and only by some miracle did Pasternak escape the madness of Sta lin. Suicide and execution were the lot of all other true Russian authors. The enig ma of Pasternak’s life is that he survived among the liquidation of his contempor aries. He was required to appear before Stalin in defense of his aloofness to the Party, and as a result of his trial spent a year on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Twice he appeared before the Congress of Soviet Writers to defend his position of casual disinterest, and twice he delivered defiant denouncements of their fawning cowardice. He refused to sign a statement of Party support demanded by Stalin and was rescued only by the intervention of friends. An impending death seemed to hover over him; yet he continued to de mand the right of poetic freedom and the supremacy of man and the heart over the regimentation of dictatorship. Doctor Zhivago is a shout of defiance, written as Pasternak awoke from inactivi ty. It is a history of a revolutionary era seen through the eyes of a doctor search ing for happiness and truth. It is accurate history, unbiased, and damaging to the communist front. The doctor is Pasternak in autobiography together with four men, his father, a poet friend, Lenin, and the hero of Tolstoy’s Resurrection. Resurrec tion is an underlying theme of the novel,

.l I!

■

for this is what Zhivago means in Russian. Yury, Zhivago’s first name means mystery, and this forms the second part of the book’s philosophy, the search to solve the mystery of life and the resurrection of an afterlife. The story weaves the characters through all the horrors of the revolution, bringing together two people for a mo ment of happiness and then dashing their love to despair. It is the tragedy of the Russian man. The political views are hon est, and statements such as the following have kept the book from the Russian people: “Marxism is too uncertain of its ground to be a science. Sciences are more balanced, more objective. I don’t know a movement more self-centered and further removed from the facts than Marxism. Ev eryone is worried only about proving him self in practical matters, and as for the men in power, they are so anxious to es tablish the myth of their infallibility that they do their utmost to ignore the truth.” Russian publishers would not print the novel, but an Italian friend purchased and translated it for publication. The intimi dations and threats of the Party did not

prevent the novel from reaching the press. When the book appeared in English, it re ceived immediate acclaim and the Nobel Prize for literature. Pasternak’s reply: “In finitely grateful, touched, proud, astound ed, confused,” brought the storm about his head. He was called pig, traitor, snake by Pravda and Izvestia. He was forced to re ject the prize immediately and public res titution had to be made by self-abasement. Pasternak appealed to Khrushchev that he might not be deported, making a full con fession of his guilt. But Pasternak was not a man who could make continual retri bution which was a lie, and so he died, a man alone, rejected by his people. Lack of the freedom and peace for which he had so violently fought killed Pasternak just as surely as it had the Doc tor of his novel. On his deathbed Paster nak wrote: “I still have much to say and my life has come to its conclusion.” All his life he had much to say, and it was said. He had fulfilled the obligation he so nobly worded: “A man must be a witness of his time.” PAUL kelm, ’66

A CASE FOR CHARLES DE GAULLE General De Gaulle is much in the news these days. In England he is being de cried as an archfoe because he blocks Eng land’s entry into the Common Market. In Germany, Italy, and other European coun tries, he is viewed with a mixture of fear and admiration because he is out to make France the center of a new Europe. In the United States DeGaulle is regarded as an ingrate and a man with fantastic pipe dreams. Yet his challenge is real. At first one might think of De Gaulle as merely an old man seeking to regain the lost glory of France. One might say, "What is France?” France today is grow ing. For the first time in probably a hun dred years, her birthrate is on the rise, her population is booming, and she is finally recovering from the disastrous wars of her past. She is feeling her new strength, but she has not forgotten her old dreams of European supremacy sought by Louis XII, Louis XIV, and Napoleon. That is only one part of De Gaulle’s concern. Aonther primary matter is the fact that the defense of Europe rests in the

hands of a country which is distant from Europe. Wouldn’t you feel uneasy if an other country was responsible for practi cally all of your protection? You would feel as De Gaulle feels that in the final analysis despite all assurances of aid and the like that America will choose to save her own skin first. That’s only human na ture. So when De Gaulle proposes to build his own nuclear force, it shouldn’t really be too surprising. Another thing which De Gaulle fears and justifiably so is the Americanization of France and Europe. He fears the take over of American capital and giantism. This is a very legitimate fear shared by many other countries including Japan and Canada. It really is colonialism in a new form. In conjunction with this I might mention the great clamor in America to day that Europe pay a greater share of the burden. I am afraid many are forgetting that the man who pays the musician calls the tune. The question is, is America will ing to play a diminished role, if she pays less. I feel that most Americans despite 157

their grumblings about the cost don’t want to play a smaller role. We can see DeGaulle has many solid and logical reasons for the action which he is taking. What DeGaulle is doing is perhaps a manifestation of things to come. Perhaps DeGaulle is the harbinger of a New Europe, a Europe more actively op posed to the United States. For we must

remember where there is economic com petition, there is likely to be political friction. Very often political aims are governed by economic motives. Many take comfort in the fact that we hold all the aces, but they forget that DeGaulle holds the deck. David Gosdeck, ’65

THE REVOLUTION IN HIGHER EDUCATION As the bright light of Sputnik glowed overhead in October of 1957, it lit up many a dark area in education. Before Sputnik, schools stressed calm adjustment and con tentment. They were relatively permissive and non-competitive except in sports. They seemed to pay little attention to "hard core” subjects and standards of priorities. This could last no longer. We were in an international struggle for survival. For we not only had to compete with the Russian technological skill in weapons and rockets, but also we had to meet the Russians in the psychological battleground for men’s minds. Soon comparisons were made to find out what Ivan knows that Johnny doesn’t know and vice versa. The results showed that the output of Russian scientists and technologists had markedly accelerated, while our output was accelerating com paratively slowly and in the field of engi neering had even decreased. The Russians were concentrating hard on the "four R’s,” reading, Titing, ’rithmetic, and Russian, while we were stressing humanities and other diversified courses, often at the ex pense of such “hard” subjects as math, science, and languages. Congressmen, teachers, and educators like J. B. Conant took up the cry that our educational sys tem must be improved to meet the chal lenge of our age and society. First of all there was a need for more and bigger schools. There were more per sons to be educated, more things to learn about, and more new ideas than at any time in history. The education "industry” had already increased 50% from the end of World War II to 1960. But more growth was and is to come. For instance, the population of our colleges and universities in 1970 is expected to double that of 1960 due to the post war birth-rate and the need for highly educated employees. In just a

decade we are going to match 300 years of the previous growth of our college and university facilities! No wonder they keep broadcasting, "Support the college of your choice.” Evidences of this great growth are around us everywhere. Very seldom do you see a college that has not had a new build ing constructed on its campus since World War II. In fact it is predicted that half of the students are in buildings constructed after the war. More and more community colleges or junior colleges are being es tablished while universities are becoming centers of advanced study and research. Colleges and universities have formed fed erations to share the strong academic fields of each other. Recently the Big Ten form ed an academic common market with the University of Chicago for just this pur pose and also to carry on joint research in such projects as the study of weather. Moreover, educators have been con cerned about quality or as they word it, "excellence.” What excellence is, is and can be debated, but basically it is the pro cess to develop a student’s talent fully and yet to make him a well-rounded in dividual useful to a free society. This has developed into new teaching and guidance methods. Team teaching and the Trumped-up system (named after the founder) have gained more favor in the last few years. Under this plan the students spend approximately one-third of their time in large groups listening to a lecture or movie, another one-third to supervized discussion periods, and the last third in private study groups. Such courses as math and science have been revitalized and made more alluring. By old methods teachers presented the theories and generalizations and let the students work out the particulars. Now the process is reversed.

158

These advances were greatly aided by the increase of audio-visual aids. Record ers, closed circuit TV, and educational films have developed so far that the dream of an automatic classroom is no longer far-fetched. So, if a history teacher were describing the battle of Gettysburg, he might show the battle plans by a projec tor, show the action by a “Hollywoodized” film, have a commentary on tape, and even have machines to test the students com prehension. TV has already shown great promise. Such programs as the Continental Class room have spread the ability of a good professor to many. In fact, today almost any course from first grade arithmetic to college biology may be taught by TV or film. Teaching machines and language labs have been set up with great success. They possess the advantage that they can test a student on what he has learned and tell him immediately if his answer is cor rect. But these skills and techniques are by no means the ultimate. Research teams such as the recently founded Harvard Cen ter for Cognitive Studies have started to investigate the secrets of the human learn ing process and to form a working theory of such functions of the brain as memory, perception, intuition, imagination, and conceptualization. Since most people agree that the resources of the mind are largely untapped, who knows what the results will be? With the advance of methods and knowledge teachers are finding out that a higher grade of teaching is demanded as well as higher degrees. It used to be said that one of the many jokes about Ph. D.’s is that few get one. The Wilson Founda tion and others are trying to remedy this situation by various fellowships and finan cial aid. There has been a greater effort to recog nize and stimulate the gifted child. Here and there students are entering colleges a couple of years ahead of time or are ad vancing at a faster rate than usual. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has helped by not only giving the gifted high school graduate monetary aid, but also public recognition. Summer schools have been founded to encourage students “thirsting for know ledge.” The National Science Foundation

has already established several of these schools to interest students in the sciences. I can vouch for their success since I was a student at one of these schools during the summer of 1959. The thing that real ly struck me was the academic freedom. The main course was Newtonian mechan ics, but after that the field was wide open. I could work on anything from computers to studies in radiation. Also, it was a plea sure to have visiting scientists come to share their knowledge and viewpoints. But the greatest thrill of all was the bull ses sion. Back from class or project work we would discuss what we learned and apply it to ourselves. As far as I was concerned this was an “intellectual paradise.” This opinion has been shared by the National Science Foundation which has continued this program. Even the federal government is getting into the act. It already spends $2,000,000 yearly for such programs as aids to feder ally “impacted” areas and for research pro jects in various universities. But the cry is out that more aid is necessary to elevate the standards of our schols sufficiently. So far fear of federal control and the aid-toparochial-school controversy have toned down such demands. How do the students themselves react under such developments? Are students becoming more intellectual and wise? Whether or not they have more wisdom is debatable, but they certainly are more in tellectual and possess more skills. They have the means to learn more, for they leam to read rapidly, how to summarize, and how to take notes. They have the benefit of better guidance, testing, and prodding. So today a child is smarter than a child of the same age would have been ten years ago, not because of greater abili ty, but because of better training. The awareness of students today is broadened. They are not only concerned with their own little sphere, but also with the complex world of Africans, Russians, astronauts, and the bomb. Students more than ever are curious. On their own they may tackle anything from Dostoevsky to astronomy. The paperback has opened many of the fields to inquisitive students. In contrast to the apathy of the early 50’s students are speaking out more. They have participated in sit-in strikes in the South and sympathy picketing in the

159

North. They have spoken against compulsory R. O. T. C. and dull teaching. They have shown a positive reaction to Kenne dy’s Peace Corp program. Although students are now trained bet ter than ever before, they must face big ger and more complicated challenges than ever before. The question still remains:

WITHDRAWAL FROM RELIGIOUS OPIATES What would your life as a pastor be like if this country were ruled by a Com munistic government? Many Americans wisely battle Communism because it means loss of private enterprise, individu ally owned land, and personal freedoms. But, how would the work of the Gospel be affected in our parishes? The following could be a diary of a pastor working in a Communist United States of America. Every incident men tioned here actually happened in Commu nist Germany sometime between 1945 and 1962. Sept. 14 — Today the government order ed the close of all parochial schools. Oct. 4 — Publishers of religious maga zines were refused newsprint by the gov ernment; religious publications were seized in the mail. Oct. 21 — All inter-congregational young people’s organizations were forbidden. Nov. 3 — Today my catechumens said that their school books prove Christ nev er lived and that God didn’t create man; man invented God. Nov. 8 — Two of my parishioners resign ed from the police force because their duties conflicted with their religious be liefs; they were sentenced to 25 years of forced labor. Nov. 9 — We must get a police permit for all meetings other than church ser vices. Dec. 5 — All clergy will now have their letters and telephone calls censored. Dec. 9 — Fourteen churches and parson ages were simply demolished this month by the state: “To improve town plan ning or highways.” Jan. 3 — A government spokesman said today that soon “the churches will be used as stable ...” Feb. 9 — Today all parsonages were raid ed by police searching for a pastoral let ter from Synod leaders. 160

Feb. 23 — Church youth who refuse to join the atheistic youth program are al most always assigned the most menial labor by the state; education beyond ele mentary grades is closed to them. Feb. 28 — Hymns to the premier are sung in school. Apr. 3 — Government ordered all clergy to publicly state they were in favor of the government. Protection and support promised to pastors cooperating with the regime. Oct. 15 — Only “progressive” clergymen may henceforth speak on the radio. Nov. 1 — Church attendance slim this morning; many parishioners are com pelled to work Sunday mornings. Nov. 26 — Synod’s orphanages, hospi tals, and homes for the aged were taken over by the state. Dec. 4 — Young people must report on each other to authorities. Dec. 7 — Criticism of the regime is grounds for arrest; fifty churchmen are imprisoned. May 1 — Police stood on the steps of the church this Sunday morning and turned parishioners away. Everyone was re quired to march in a huge parade. May 23 — Three hundred delegates to Synod’s convention were refused permis sion to attend by civil authorities. May 25 — Some churches have no confirmands this spring; the youth were in timidated into joining a secular youth club which bathes them in atheism. In stead of confirmation vows, youths take oaths dedicating their whole strength to socialism. June 11 — An aged member of the con gregation died in the state hospital yes terday. Though he asked for me often, the hospital didn’t call me. Aug. 2 — Many churches may no longer print church bulletins; I am permitted to include no explanation of coming

OUR NEW ORGAN A recent magazine article noted how Helmut Walche, totally blind, became a great organist of Bach by listening to mu sic as his wife played for him. By repeat ing the phrases after her until he luiew them, he became famous as a recording master of Bach.

Not many students at Northwestern hope to equal the achievements of this blind man. However, the students at North western now have a chance to listen to and appreciate the strains of organ music. The

music comes from the new Schlicker or gan which was installed in the first weeks of February. During the installation, students and faculty became very eager to hear how the pieces of metal and wood which were placed in the southeast comer of the cha pel would sound. A few high sounds and a few deep rumblings were all that they could hear as they listened at the door. On the morning of February 13 all those at tending chapel were privileged to hear the new organ perform for the first time. It performed well, and in the afternoon the builders left, indicating the completion of voicing and tuning. The completed organ was used again that evening with the capable Prof. A. Lehmann making it “sing”. Prof. Lehmann has charge of the organ and has been playing the music for our chapel services. The music includes hymns, preludes to prepare the student for worship, and the postlude to close the service. This music adds more meaning to the chapel service and to the spoken word. Remarks on the organ are complimen tary. The students and faculty are happy with the performance of it. Prof. Lehmann began by playing for all chapel services, but his aim is to get the students to take over soon. Practice on the new organ is limited, but there are several of the students who he feels are ready to play for a service. His aim is to have his students do that as quickly as possible. Some of the students express the feeling that if the listeners were as blind as the great organist, Helmut Walche, they would feel more at ease on the bench.

GERALD GEIGER, ’63

WISCONSIN'S DEUTSCHER SOLDAT The German element in Wisconsin is becoming more and more intermingled with the other immigrant peoples of the Old World and is losing its distinctiveness. In highly Germanized areas such as Watertown and Freistadt (presently incorporated within the city of Mequon), the German language, although probably understood by most, is spoken relatively little by the younger generations. If it were not for Northwestern College, die deutsche Sprache would have a much shorter-lived future here, too. The German influx came in the post 1848 period following the Liberal Revolu tion in Germany. For religious freedom hampered by the union of the two Luther an churches in Germany, our Wisconsin Synod forefathers came to the inviting lands of Wisconsin. “Free-thinkers,” who established such non-Christian villages as “The Godforsaken Village” or “Little Paris” as Thiensville was once called, came for other reasons. German settlements centered them selves in an area best defined by a curved line beginning at Milwaukee’s southern edge, extending to Madison, and resolving itself at Manitowoc. The energetic fanners and workers eagerly engaged the Kettle Moraine area and brought suprising re sults. Germans were such an integral part of Wisconsin that the 1930 census reveal ed the fact that nearly 50% of the state’s population had descended from the Ger man immigrants. This element of Badger Staters was characterized by industry, thoroughness, thrift, honesty, love of home and music, and a strong sense of duty. Agriculture, art, education, business, medicine, politics, and sports were all given a lift by the gifts of the Germans. In another facet of life the Germans played a most important part in Wiscon sin’s share of United States history. This facet was war. Since the time of the Black Hawk in surrection, the Germans have proved their loyalty in every war. In view of some of the struggles in which the United States has engaged, this statement holds unusual merit. By the time of the Mexican war, 184648, prior to Wisconsin’s entry into the Un-

ion, Germans enlisted in the ranks of Illi nois regiments. Several commissioned of ficers were among these recruits. Watertown, Wisconsin, sent twenty-three soldiers for the campaigns although the politicians at home severely opposed the war. The German sentiments were wholly on the side of the Union in the Civil de bacle. Many of the liberals backed the war enthusiastically. The athletic Turner So ciety sent over 50% of its membership in to the battles. Over half of the members of a singing society in Manitowoc enlisted to preserve their adopted country from im pending danger. Mass meetings with bands, torches, and heart-stirring speeches were heard in Milwaukee and Watertown. The Ninth Infantry, wholly German, was one of the results. Five days were needed to raise a Ger man company of one hundred and six men and send them to camp at Madison. The Irish needed over three times that length of time to obtain twenty-eight enlistments. Germans also held exalted positions in American, Norwegian and Irish regiments. The German made one of the best sol diers because of his foreign training and his innate sense of duty. The German sol dier had the reputation of not bragging, and he was willing to serve no matter how great the danger. Missouri was reluctantly kept in the Union because of the German-Americans near St. Louis. General Franz Sigel utiliz ed his European training and led the fight for the Blue in Missouri. He was aided early in the war by Milwaukee Turners and later by eighty-three horsemen from Milwaukee who were to become part of the Missouri cavalry. At the battle of Chancellorsville, Lee made goats of the Wisconsin 26th Infan try, all German. Along with Germans from New Jersey this regiment retreated swiftly from a position which General Carl Schurz of Watertown had termed untenable. Al though arguments over the retreat follow both lines of thought as to whether the re treat was advisable or not, the unit re ceived the nickname of “the flying Dutch men.” The 26th proved its courage lateronly four other regiments in the Union army had a higher percentage of deaths in battle. This regiment also accompanied

Sherman in his famous trek to the Atlan tic. The battle of Helena, Arkansas, which Jefferson Davis termed as the k e y to Grant’s victory at Vicksburg, was won by Brigadier General Frederick Saloman, the brother of the wartime governor. The 28th Wisconsin repulsed rebels with numbers totaling four times their own strength. General Prentiss took the glory for the vic tory although communications to our state senator and to Lincoln himself were writ ten opposing this action. For some reason these letters never became public and Lin coln saw no such letter. General Salomon did win his public laurels at the battle of Jenkins Ferry. His half-starved band beat off three Confed erate charges by waiting till the Rebs were one hundred yards away and by shooting at their knees. They proudly paraded through the streets of Little Rock, Arkan sas, to the cheers of their compatriots when they returned. Land and sea saw their share of Ger mans in the Spanish-American war. The greatest challenge for the Germans was World War I. Although they felt sym pathetic to the Central Powers, they gave more than their share in manpower and means to back the U. S. government. Many Germans sided with the Kaiser until the United States declared war; then the tables turned. One such German from Waukesha served in the front lines from early in 1917 until the end of the war. He was only eighteen years old and could not have been drafted for one more year. 50% of the soldiery from Waukesha was Ger man compared to the fact that merely

42% of the total population was of Ger man descent. Action such as this can on ly be described as heroic. Many preposterous lies were circulated about the disloyalty of the German-Americans. In fact police were required to in vestigate uprisings and attempted sabo tages, but never found even a hint of truth in these suspicions. The only reported trouble in Milwaukee was between two American citizens, probably of German descent. They had a go at fisticuffs to see who would be the first to register for en tering the U. S. Army. Since so many German-Wisconsin sol diers were casualties, it is obvious they had no easy jobs in the conflict. Of thirtythree soldiers of Lincoln County who were killed in the war, twenty-two were of Ger man origin. 60% of those killed from Waukesha were of recent German descent and one was even a native of Germany. Such was the case throughout the state. Their greatest test in the New World was past. Undoubtedly many of the 250,000 Wisconin soldiers in World War II had strong German parentage. Their forefathers had by that time established the loyalty and courage of the German race. No one has the moral right to question the German in fighting for his new home — the United States. All of us with even a minute trace of German blood in our veins can be proud of these men and their accomplishments for freedom. We can only hope that we can continue to gain such laurels for our ancestors from Deutschland. ERHARD OPSAHL, ’65

RISE OF THE SOCIAL CRITIC

The role of criticism in a free society is paradoxical, for a free society not only accords opportunity but even offers en couragement to a plurality of views. Many of the views, which are thus brought out, are not favorable to all the elements of that free society. However, criticism operates to a great extent only between open societies or ele ments within open societies. For “the clos ed system, being closed, is irresponsive to any influence (i.e. criticism).” So we do not bang hopelessly on a blank wall, a closed society, or objects toward which we 163

have no feelings. We criticize only that which we feel we can reach. We criticize that which is closest to our interest. A desire for improvement begins with a condemnation of what exists. Criticism is the instrument and “engine” of change. We can hope for a renewal and a rebuild ing of cities if we point to slums. We win support for artistic and cultural pursuits only by pointing out the tendency toward materialism. The world always had its reformers, its martyrs, and its crusading editors. These people put their hearts and minds

into their tasks because they felt the world could be made a better place in which to live. Critics thus have a responsibility to ward society in that they are able to see certain shortcomings in that society which are not readily visible to the casual obser ver. They also are among the few whose clever words can drive the criticism home with the exact punch it needs. Critics are not just men who can tear down. That is only half their job. The president of a large corporation once brought a rising young executive to his main factory and asked him to point out what he thought was wrong in the factory. The young executive eagerly set about his task with pencil and paper. At the end of the day he went up to the presi dent’s office. “Well,” asked the boss, “what did you find wrong with the operations?” “Many things,” was the executive’s an swer as he proceeded to read off his stuffed notebook. “What would you do to correct them?” asked the president. “Now that you mention it, I hadn’t thought of any way to improve your opera tions,” answered the young man. “Any fool can criticize,” said the presi dent. “I want improvement, not faults. Those 1 can find all by myself.” Likewise in American social life, change and improvement wait upon criti cism. But the social critic of today is of another brand or breed of critics which are not concerned so much with reform as with pricking the little bubbles of our stilt ed society. They love to point up our weak nesses, take light jabs at our society, and provide entertainment rather than enlightment.

The social critic of today is as the word indicates, a critic. He criticizes just for the sake of criticism with no idea or at tempt to correct the situation. In fact he points up personal characteristics of fam ous people or little weaknesses which no one would care to correct even if he had the chance. Take President Kennedy’s pro nunciation of “vigor” and “Cuba” for ex ample. Men like Shelly Berman, Bob Newhart, and especially Mort Sahl and Vaughn Meader (the voice of J.F.K. on the record, “The First Family,” whose sales have passed the three million mark) are spoken of as be ing social critics. Their popularity can be attested to by the fact that they play to full houses, sell thousands of records, and are frequent guests on television programs. They make people laugh at themselves, their country, and their neighbors. It is a good sign that we have such men, for it reveals the possibilities and freedoms with in our society. Imagine a Russian putting out a record in which he ridicules Nikita. But besides this one by-product of our critics’ minds, there is not, nor will there ever be a social critic who shoulders the responsibility of a real critic. Rather let us list these critics as en tertainers whose bread-and-butter joke is a political take-off. Americans love to laugh at themselves, and consequently we have entertainers with a social and politi cal bent. Dread the day when we lose the entertainment stemming from the social and political jokes. That is the day we lose our sense of humor. And what is more, it will mark a beginning of the end for certain inalienable rights of Americans.

TbzwA Passion Play A traveling Passion Play group played in Watertown February 21 and 22. The play was a dramatization of the Holy Week hap penings. About 30 extras were needed for each performance. Many Northwestern stu dents took advantage of this opportunity and got a chance to work with professional actors. Getting made up and decked out with wigs, beards, and robes was part of the bargain. Backstage, the actors (who represented all religious denominations) were very friendly. Their language was clean and clever and witty to say the least.

The program under the direction of James Babler will be en titled “How Do You Fit in Society?” This pre sentation should prove to be very funny and in some ways very informative.

Insalubrity The week of February 4th to March 2nd proved to be one of many missed classes for both the faculty and student body. The cause of this absenteeism was an outbreak of severe colds and flu, although the flu here was not of the harsh Asian type. For those who stayed healthy it was a time to catch up on assign' ments, term papers, sleep. Professor Wester' haus summed up the emotions of many when, as he saw a group of students walk away from their professor’s empty room, he said, “Oh, i” that grand and glorious feeling

This play is from the novel by Storm Jameson and has had a very successful run on Broad way. Plan now to attend it.

Field Trip On Wednesday, February 20th, the sopho mores arose at 5:30 a. m. in order to prepare themselves for a day in Chicago. Breakfast was served in the dining hall at 6:00 and at 6:30 the class departed aboard two buses from the Ooconomowoc Transport Company. Enroute to their destination some slept, some played cards, while others carried on intellectual (?) conversations with their faculty guides, Professors Franzmann and Kirst, from the historyreligion and science departments respectively.

The “windy city” lived up to its name; for upon their arrival the temperature was well below freezing, the wind was gusty, and the first inch of snow of the day’s total accumlation of four was swirling down. The Oriental Institute, Museum of Science and Indutsry, Museum of Natural History, Shedd Aquari um, Adler Planetarium, Prudential Building, plus other lesser known places were visited

The five retiring senior staff members, Kent Schroeder, Jim Westendorf, Herbert Winterstein, Gary Schmeling, and Walter Westphal, were commended for “a good job well done” and the meeting was adjourned.

QampuA ™ QLaAAJwom — In Christian countries, Monday is the day after the football game — Hannibal by Livy is one of the best books out since Cult Worship for Profit and Pleasure by Osiris. In this saga Livy tells how Hannibal crossed the mountains into Italy by going north in France instead of southeast toward the Italian peninsula.

I suppose Livy realized the mistake in his directions, but figured that no one would know the difference. Well, anyway. Somewhere in France Hannibal missed a right turn and headed north toward Poland which was not there yet. The Romans, who were usually sev eral leagues behind Hannibal, were on this occasion in hot pursuit. (The augurs read 166

on the right. Now Livy knew better than that. Some say that it actually happened that way, and it was the reason for the Romans’ losing twenty thousand men. Others say Livy was so scared just before the battle that he had started to drink, and, in fact, drank through the whole bat tle. Others say, “Not a bit of it. Livy never drank — on the job.” But he must have been lit like a Roman candle when he wrote this. Look what a good classical education did for him.

When you become a Junior or a Senior, you are thrown into the grasp, the horrible, of Hebrew. It is read backwards, starts at the rear of the book, and it looks as if a

chicken with inky feet had run across the page. It has few rules because neither verbs nor nouns follow rules. The vowels are written below the word (if written at all), and the letter “a” (aleph) is a con sonant, not a vowel in this language, and it has no sound. The Jews spoke Hebrew, made money, and were hated for it. Think what it can do for you. There is a story of where Hebrew as a language came from. It seems that at the building of the tower of Babel, there was a mason at the very top who was putting mortar in the cracks. At the base of the tower stood a stiff-necked individual look ing up. Well, some of the mason’s mortar slipped off his board and fell into the stiff necked fellow’s mouth. (Masons and Jews never did get along.) It dried. This stiff necked, mortar-in-the-mouth fellow’s de-

that happen. The metric system would be more handy, but it would also take away much color from the language. Imagine saying, “My car gets 20 kilometers to the liter.” (Besides that, it’s a lie.) You see what 1 mean? No color. Or take the figure 91.44—60.96—91.44cm. No color.

You can be brave, or else be stupid and get the same results. ***** Northwestern: A school whose tradition has been unhampered by progress for ninety-eight years.(From Harpers) ***** Our dean has been a busy fellow here of late. There are two reasons why I say this. First, he (and his wife) had a baby boy. (Add to this that he is a foster-father of 375 boys, who all feel spring in the air.) In due time the baby was baptized, and, as one might expect, the sponsors were two of the synod’s man-power-shortage com-

Spo/dtA losing for quite a while. Lakeland had a decided height advantage. Their starting team averages 6' 7" and is topped by 6' 11" Wes Seyller. Northwestern’s starting 5 range from Beckner at 6'7" to A1 Just 5'5". Beckner played his best game so far this year scoring 18 points, coming down with numerous rebounds, and proving a defensive thorn in the flesh to former Big Ten star, Ray Cronk. The first 8 minutes were very close and NWC led at one point by a 15-13 score. Then the Muskies scored 16 points in a row and by half-time led 39-23. The Trojans led the scoring in the second half, 34-26, but were unable to regain the lead. Kock led the scoring for Northwestern with 21 points.

Beat Concordia on Their Home Floor The Trojans broke a three game losing string February 12 when they trounced Concordia College, Milwaukee, by a 76-54 score. Concordia’s gym has proved to be a jinx to Northwestern for the past several years. Because of their height advantage, the Trojans controlled the boards; ball hand ling was also improved over previous starts. NWC led throughout the game. At half time the score was 38-24. The second half proved to be a somewhat closer match as Coach Pieper used his bench strength freely. This is the second time the Trojans have beaten Concordia this year. Gene Kock returned to the form he was showing during the first half of the season by scoring 23 points. Lynn Schroeder had 14 and Dallas Beckner was close behind with 13. Lose to Lakeland bv Onlv 8 The Lakeland College Muskies, ranked second in the state of Wisconsin among small college basketball teams, managed a slim 65-57 victory over the Trojans Febuary 16 in Watertown. Although the loss gave Northwestern a 2-9 conference rec ord, there was some consolation. Lake land has now won 10 straight Gateway Conference games. They have been ave raging 96 points per game and their 65 point tally marks a season low for them. This game was the closest LC has come to

George Williams, Eureka Victors in Illionis Road Trio The Trojans spent the weekend of February 22 and 23 in Illinois and came home with two more losses. They played George Williams College in Chicago Feb ruary 22 and lost to them 73-61. NWC trailed from the outset, and at the end of the first half the score was 37-29. The Tro jans sparked several rallies in the second half, but couldn’t manage to get any closer than six points. Northwestern had beaten GW earlier this year. But several new faces on the opposing squad gave them the advantage. Bill Meier led the scoring for NWC with 14 points, Kock and Clarke Sievert

Backrow: L. Cross (mgr.), D. Toepel, J. Everts, C. Sievert, D. Beckner, R. Pagels, R. Hahm, Coach E. Pieper. Front row: A Just, V. Tassler, K. Habben, G. Kock, W. Meier, L. Schroeder, R. Scharf, P. Kelm. were close behind with 12 apiece. The rounded corners of the playing floor prov ed a hindrance to the Trojans. The following night the Trojans lost another of their many close contests. This time the victor was Eureka College of Eu reka, Illinois. The final score was 60-55. Two long shots by Kermit Habben put NWC out in front 4-2. At one time the Trojans held a 5 point lead, but by half time they were behind 32-29. With 10 minutes remaining in the game, a rally led by Meier left the Trojans behind by one point, but the Red Devils went on to win. Meier again led the scoring with 11 points. Schroeder had 10; Kock 9; and Habben, 8. Beat Shimer bv 78 The Trojans closed out their Gateway Conference season with a bang by beating Shimer College of Mount Carroll, Illinois, 115-37. Northwestern’s final home game of the year began at noon March 1, as a sort of preliminary to the grade school tournament which followed. Since dinner is also at noon, the student body couldn’t be present at the game until the second half. NWC had little trouble handling Shim170

er, whose students do more college work in the classroom than on the basketball floor. At half time they led by the lop sided score of 67-22. The final 115-37 score marked a season high for Northwes tern. Kock led the scoring with 27 points; Ron Hahm was second tallying the high est total in his career, 22. Sem Wins in Season Finale The Trojans again went down in de feat March 2 when they lost to their form er teammates who are now at the semi nary. The final score of the game, played in Mequon, was 68-60. Northwestern led briefly during the first half, but at the end of the first period we were behind by 10. During the second half we fell behind by as many as 20 points. Five Trojans fouled out. Kock led the Trojan scoring with 14 points and brought his season total to 381 to lead his teammates. The 1962-63 season record was 7-13. Wait Until Next Year! The Trojans closed their conference play with a 3-11 record. On the surface this doesn’t look too good, but the won-

lost column this year doesn’t give a fair index for rating the team. As a matter of fact in 14 conference games the Tro jans outscored their opopnents 982-908; this averages out to a 70-65 victory for each conference game. Obviously it was the close losses that ruined the season rec ord. NWC lost 6 games by 5 points or less, 5 of these games by 3 points or less. Had we won these 6 games our season record would have been a respectable 9-5.

Sonntag, and Ron Semro, who was cut from the varsity squad just after the season opened. Other team members were Marc Diersen, Lyle Luchterhand, and Joel Frank. Balza was high scorer with 136 points in 9 games; Semro had 93 points in 8 games. The team averaged 50 points per game; their opponents, 37.

There is one consolation — the team is composed largely of underclassmen who will be returning next year. Only three in the squad — Habben, Meier, and Kock are seniors. When asked to make a statement on the season’s play, basketball coach Ed Pieper commented, “For overall balance, this is the best ball club I’ve had in my three years and the one which played the best basketball consistently through the season. One weakness we had was that we could not change our tempo of play. We would have an opposing team at the breaking point but couldn’t get ahead of them.” Coach Pieper felt we had the ma terial for a winning team and regretted the fact that we didn’t achieve a winning re cord.

Juniors Also Win Bowling Championship The bowlers of the East Gate Inn team, all of them Juniors, wound up as the league champions by beating the Seniors of the Green Bowl team who were the league’s defending champions for the past two years. The tie which had existed be tween these two teams most of the season was broken on the final day of bowling, March 7, when East Gate took two out of three games from Green Bowl.
