as we have shown, on the mistakes (that is, what he calls mistakes) of people who are more honorable than himself. How are we able to put him down? By open refutation? That is a possibility. But the best way, I think, is to totally ignore him. If his rattlings go unheard and, in society, his pictures go unseen and his books go unread, he loses his sustinence. Then he is no longer the clever hero he wants to be. Instead he is forced to re sume his rightful title: der Taugenichts. J.. t.

editorial T n this self - sufficient little country of J- ours there is a mounting tendency to promote and even glorify “dirt.” The lawabiding citizen who tends to his business and keeps his record morally clean is a thing of the pa9t. Playwrights, novelists and magazine writers have found a new hero, a character that is more exciting to an indifferent and comfortable public. He is the “Good-for-nothing,” or as the Ger mans so descriptively put it, der Tauge nichts. Exactly who is this fellow? He is the hero-villain — the James Bond and others like him that captivate the minds of our country’s youth. He is the adventurer who is at the same time able to fulfill his mis sion, live as extravagantly as possible, and participate in immoral activities. He is also the West Side Story gang, able to gain a standing ovation for suc cessfully mining a policeman play the part of a fool. In other words, we not on ly exalt thi ! augcnichts and glory in his success, but we also make fun of those people that a . respectable. Even the light satires of our ra are evidence of this situ ation: Life With Father and Dagiuood be little parental authority; Car 54, Where Are You takes pains to satirize local offici als. How then do we get rid of this mon ster — this cause for and result of the moral decline of a nation? First of all, we have to recognize the foe, not only as he exists on the stage and in books, but also (and most important) as he exists in our everyday life. Before we start any movements to pull the Taugenichts down from his “social” throne, however, we have to sweep our own closet. There is the student that boasts of his laziness. There is the under handed student who receives the praise of his fellows. There is the student that takes pride in his ability to “run down” a more scholarly classmate. The Taugenichts needs a following. He exists on the approval of his fellows and,

/Congratulations are in order for the Centennial Staff of the Black and Red. The Editorial Department spared no effort in highlighting Northwestern’s hundredth birthday. Under their guidance the Black and Red took on a new look. The Campus Calandar, a new format, and the feature article were well received innovations. As Volume 69 is born, the staff looks once more toward its directives. The Black and Red is a school paper. News, Sports, Campus and Classroom, and editorial com ment will continue to focus on campus life. The Black and Red is a literary mag azine. The essays, research pieces, poetry and art of college students form the body of the magazine. The Black and Red is also an alumni chronicle. Volume 69 will attempt to sustain the interest of Northwestern’s graduates. The Campus Calendar will continue to grace the back cover. A feature series will be run again next year. Watch for reviews of current popular books. There will be articles on the literary, poetic, and musical heritage of several countries. Dor mitory polls will try to represent student opinion in different fields. The Black and Red wants to reflect the opinion of its readers. If you, the sub scribers, will respond, there will be a “Let ters to the Editor” page. The staff is ask ing for comment from both students and alumni. Let us hear your constructive crit icism and opinion, whether for publication or for the staff’s edification. The quality of Volume 69 is in the hands of the students. It is your contri butions — poetry, fiction, art, essays, and articles — that make this magazine. It’s your Black and Red. Make it yours. p. K. l

The synodical report of 1962 valued N.W.C. at $2.16 million(2.7 million would be needed to replace the complex). This report also suggested that our campus should be used as an example for future synodical construction.

Students Our students have cosmopolitan inter ests. Some have made jaunts to Mexico and Europe. One took a prize in a nation al Greek contest. Others have had poetry published in national college anthologies. A few graduates are now in the Peace Corps, and one student is finishing his studies at Annapolis. The student body has included an escapee from Communism in Poland. It presently includes a girl. In a 1960 pre-election poll the students gave an 88.3% edge over Kennedy. This past fall we saw the Republican percen tage drop — but only a little. Athletics Football has remained Northwestern’s strong point — as far as athletics are con cerned. The 1960 team had no player who weighed more than 200 pounds; and even though the halfback weighed a mere 142, the team compiled a 4-3 record. Ir 1963 we saw our way to a Gateway Conference championship and a rating as one of the best small colleges in Wisconsin. This past fall Northwestern fielded one of its heaviest teams (a line averaging ov er 200 pounds), and this team finished the season with a 4-2 record. Inter-collegiate golf is also on the agenda for the first time this spring.

T"1 he last five years of Northwestern’s history have been no less exciting than the first ninety-five. In May of 1960 the collegians created a Dormitory Council in order to give the college student more freedom than he formerly enjoyed when he roomed with the preps. And in June of the same year the college student body first called themselves “Trojans” while the preps had previously chosen the nickname “Hornets.” When school commenced in Septem ber, 1961, a new curriculum went into ef fect. The faculty created an elective sys tem which offered the student some free dom of choice. In the meanwhile Northwestern’s en larged enrollment demanded separate cha pel services for the college and prep de partments. The chapel itself was musical ly enhanced in 1963 by the addition of a $25,000 organ, and in the fall of that year stained-glass windows were installed. Last summer three additional professorages grew on the eastern extremity of our cam pus. Sophomore classes have supplied our campus with Arbor-Day trees and shrub bery such as the “N.” Recent graduates have left us other gifts: a flagpole, a clock on the outside of East Hall, and a light pole. The sundial was also repainted and relocated.

Celebrations In 1963 the college’s former president. Prof. E. E. Kowalke, was congratulated upon completing fifty years of faithful ser vice at Northwestern. He is still continu ing classroom instruction and is solely re sponsible for all Hebrew courses at N.W.C. today. In honor of the centennial celebration, the class of 1965 organized a fraternity — Tau Delta Theta. The organization’s prime purpose is to assist Northwestern in the celebration of its centennial year and to keep up interest in their soon-to-be Alma Mater. The high spot in this year’s celebra tion will be Memorial Day. This is North2

western Day — a celebration something on the order of the Northwestern Day of the past.

need is an additional dormitory. There have also been rumors of expanding the campus area. There is very much that could and must be done, and this jubilee year sup plies us with the opportunity to initiate programs for improvement.

To Be Or Not To Be Northwestern College should continue its growth. A great deal of improvement and change is still necessary on our cam pus. The buildings are now in the process of being named (ideally the names will soon be displayed on the respective build ings). The musical organizations also plan changes. A larger group may replace the Glee Club. There are hopes for a lar ger Male Chorus, and an all-girl chorus could arise in place of the Mixed Chorus. In the line of campus advancements our athletic field could use a scoreboard; the school could also use a new gymnasi um (better, a ficlclhouse); another definite

Great Need In 1962 our campus held more than 180 students, and it is predicted by the sy nodical report of that year that the col lege enrollment will be doubled by 1972. It is our hope that the centennial cele brations (Homecoming, concerts, lectures, Northwestern Day) will inspire the alum ni and friends of Northwestern to take a closer look at our needs — their needs. After all, N.W.C. is the nursery of most of our synod’s ministers. ERHARD OPSAHL, ’65

Rev. Jerald Plilzuweit, ’59, Pastor of C.ahary Lutheran Church, She boygan, Wisconsin is the last i)i a series of former Black and Red editors (Volume LXII) to contribute to the Centennial column.

CHANGING TIMES or Northwestern in the Fifties T1 he decade of the fifties may well be entitled “Changing Times.” The in novations during this era were the har bingers of today’s campus and campus life. Older alumni would have a difficult time finding another ten-year span in which there was so much “panta rei.” Most of these changes have proved to be beneficial, but the test of time must be the final criterion in judging them. The campus itself assumed a new face, thanks to the extended building project undertaken by the Synod. Famous and well-worn landmarks fell before the ham mering blows of progress. Down came the old refectory, the old classroom building, 3

the old barracks, the “pest house,” and a professor’s dwelling. From the rubble arose the present chapel-classroom build ing, refectory, college dorm, and a num ber of professors’ homes. Visitors marvel ed at the new appearance of old North western; students marveled at the for wardness of the visitors, inspecting not only the buildings, but the lockers and drawers in the endeavor to get a good look at the new dorm. Of course, the building program cre ated its problems and unusual situations. One major problem was lack of classroom space after the old classroom building had been demolished and before the new one took its place. Temporary classroom accommodations were found in the old refectory. These rooms proved to be neith er soundproof nor conducive to classroom attention. For example, not too infre quently a student attending Freshman Ger man felt as though he were auditing a Junior European history course at the same time. Both students and faculty found such times trying but not impossible. The construction of the new dorm cap tured the attention of a number of stu dents as they sat in the classroom. A veri fied tabulation revealed that one of the bricklayers averaged eleven bricks an hour! As the dorm neared completion, nighttime forays were made into the building to pro-

cure the right colored chair for a particu lar room. Moving day brought to a close the six month era when a North Hall and South Hall existed on campus. There were temporary living quarters on the second floor of the old refectory. The students living there enjoyed an unparalleled amount of freedom, removed as they were from the watchful eyes of tutors and the dean. For a time the athletic teams of the fifties produced championships; for a time they produced character. On the gridiron the longest unbeaten string in the school’s history was entered in the record books. Mission House (now Lakeland) suffered a humiliating defeat on one notable Satur day by the unbelievable score of 70 some thing to 6. The basketball team also came in for its share of glory by capturing a conference championship in that B.A.T. T.L.E. era (Before All Tall Timber at Lakeland Existed). The “Changing Times” brought a revamping of the athletic pic ture. The present baseball and football fields were carved as the rough terrain gave way to the prodding of bulldozers. Tennis courts were resurfaced, outdoor basketball nets were set up, and a wrest ling mat of goodly proportions found its way into the athletic budget. As usual, intramural activities produced keen class rivalries, but as usual intramurals were kept in the background in favor of the varsity teams. Even the band experienced a change. The all black, old vintage, Salvation Army style uniforms, which seemed almost in destructible, were retired from duty. In their place came the dashing black and red regalia of today. Incidentally, the in signia patch of the new uniforms was mo deled after the emblem on the Ford car. The Black and Red changed with the times. Headquarters for the staff had been the fourth floor penthouse room in the old dorm. The assigned room in the new dorm was cramped, windowless and lacking ven-

tilation. This change was seemingly au spicious, for it appeared to usher in an era when The Black and Red became hea vy on scholarship, a bit stuffy, and per chance guilty of giving a distorted picture of the Alma Mater to the Alumni. A first was achieved in publishing when a full color picture of the chapel windows graced the cover of the publication. For the edi tors of that day it seemed as if 99 and 44/100% of the student body never seemed to contribute. Students of that decade were to some degree affected by the doctrinal differences which had arisen between the Missouri and Wisconsin Synods. Almost impercep tibly some were enticed into a more liber al approach to Scripture. This was a trend which you could not lay your finger on as a student, but which the succeeding years have proved to exist. A certain healthy air of freedom began to take form in the fifties. Long-standing tradition was broken when the unhappy marriage of the college and prep student bodies was annulled, and each could live in its own separate dorm. The “per” sys tem was revised to the students’ advant age. Cars, formerly “streng verboten,” were permitted on campus under certain restrictions and upon payment of a fee. (Does anyone yet know what that fee is really used for?) There was agitation for a Dorm Council, a dream that was to be realized shortly. Students clamored for a type of elective system and got nowhere; suddenly it arrived in the sixties. Indeed the fifties were years of change. Through all the changes Northwestern re mained faithful to its purpose of pre paring men for entrance to the Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. The exterior of North western may appear different today than it did yesteryear. But in the heart of any alumnus, thoughts of Northwestern as he knew it will come alive whenever he hears the familiar strains of “C h e e r for Old Northwestern.”

If you do not think about the future, you cannot have one. JOHN GALSWORTHY 4

CHEERING FOR FIFTY-FIVE YEARS A

be arranged by Franz Mayr of Milwaukee, “a foremost musician.” These songs with their high ideals were reserved for dignified occasions and all seem to have been sung without any preference. The songs for pep fests were more irreverent — continuing cheering and yelling for Northwestern in one’s grave. This particular song was sung to the tune of Hot Time in the Old Town, Tonight. Reference to school songs disappears in the Black and Red after 1920. It was at this time that Mrs. Walter Shekner, then Ruth Bolle, a daughter of Prof. C. Bolle, was spending five years on this campus both as a Prep and Collegian. She transferred to the University of Wis consin, where the history of our present song began. She recalls, “I ‘made up’ the tune one summer shortly after my college days at Wisconsin in Madison. .. . My brother Ted. . . heard it and thought just possibly Northwestern College might be in terested in it, inasmuch as it was an origi nal tune, whioh few smaller colleges pos sess. . . My father wrote the words to the chorus, and my brother had it published at his own expense and had it copy righted.” Published in 1927, the song was an immediate hit; a band arrangement was made by Helmuth W. Schaefer, T7, whom Mrs. Shekner refers to as “a grand band player, a fine cometist.” His arrangement was used for over thirty years by the band. It is just within the past few years that the present director, Prof. A. O. Lehmann made a new arrangement for our enlarged band. Copies of Cheer for Old Northwestern, which Theodore Bolle had published in 1927, are still available to the student in the college bookstore. This song has cer tainly fulfilled the student’s long-standing desire for an original song, suited to lusty singing at athletic events, playing at con certs, and an emotional rendering by the combined choruses at the close of the football banquet each year. It expresses the heart-felt “school spirit” of student and alumni alike.

six weeks on campus the new Freshman has one musical associa tion with Northwestern ingrained in him: Cheer for Old Northwestern. This song is relatively new in the history of our school. Apparently, popular ditties of the day ser ved as early college songs, since there is little mention of a song of any sort before 1910. In that year the Black and Red be gan to ask for an official school song. Stu dent desire for a song had been building, and the January issue records, “As for the true hymn, which we are in search of, we would rather that the melody for it be original and our very own.” Student desire for a song was coupled with the enthusiasm of the alumni, es pecially those of the Northwestern Club of Milwaukee, which was beginning a fund drive for a new gymnasium on the cam pus. There v. t > ■ at least five sentimental efforts, and a . v of them were even pub lished. The l . nns produced at this time included: ll1 ■ To Thee, 0 Alma Mater, with words !>• Sprengling, ’94, and mu sic composed / Herbert Jenny, ’05; Our College Clue “•'hose author and composer remained • .onymous; Northwestern Fair, sung to :ho tune of Old Heidelberg; Old Northwestern, whose author identifies himself as Primus but is perhaps E. Burke, TO, who is so identified by the class his tory of that year; and a second submission by M. Sprengling, Northwestern’s Way, with an original tune which Richard Hardege arranged and dedicated to the Male Chorus. All of these songs were given public performances during the next two dec ades. On April 7, 1910, Old Northwestern made its debut before the Northwestern Club of Milwaukee. It was included with Our College Cheer in a program given by the musical organizations of the college in the Davidson Theater under the aus pices of the Northwestern Club. Of M. Sprengling’s two songs, the earlier. Hail to Thee, O Alma Mater, seems to have been the more popular, for its tune with parodied words was a big hit at the 1911 Black and Red banquet. Continued en thusiasm produced more songs, including a march, Northwestern, by H. Schley, to fter

A book review by Ed Fredrick

KON-TIKI T

plunges in medias res. On the split bamboo deck of a balsa-log raft, six adventurers (five Norwegians, one Swede) are participating in one of the greatest true adventures of our era. This is the Kon-Tiki: forty-five feet long with a large square-sail and a bamboo cabin. It is short and stubby in appearance, held together only by hemp. A steering oar, the forerunner of the rudder, projects astern for directional control. The raft is an ac curate model of those which pre-Incan Peruvians sailed off the coast of South America 1500 years ago. Why do six men attempt to cross the Pacific to the South Sea Islands in an open raft? Thor Heyerdahl in epic fash ion returns to the beginning of the expe dition. On Fatu Hiva, one of the Marques as Islands, he had listened to an old man’s tales: “It was Tiki who brought my an cestors to these islands where we live now. Before that we lived in a big country be yond the sea.” What land? The riddle of the origin of the Polynesians, a distinct ethnological and lingual group, seized the imagination of the author as it had others before him. China, Japan, India, Egypt, even Germany and Scandanavia — all had been proposed and subsequently, in the light of new discoveries, rejected. To the Polynesians, whose history is synonymous with their religion, the incul cation of proper reverence for ancestors depended on oral transmission of histor ies, epics, and traditions. From the gene alogies which the wise old men passed on accurately for generations, scientists de termined that tfie mythical god-hero Tiki had not come to the islands before 500 A. D. The author believed that Peru was the solution to the riddle. According to Incan legend a fair-skinned, bearded race had erected the great monoliths in Peru which matched precisely in style those found among the islanders. But a hostile tribe defeated them in battle, and Kon-tiki, the Son of the Sun, with his survivors fled via raft into the setting sun. Convinced that he had answered the question of the Polynesians’ homeland, the he author

author tried to publish his theories. The experts were skeptical. How could so prim itive a people navigate the ocean in open rafts? To satisfy these objections the Kontiki expedition was undertaken. The book, then, is a vibrant account of the actual construction and voyage of the Kon-tiki. It sustains interest through out by a skillful fusion of quick, graphic narrative and engaging, accurate detail. The author also deftly injects anecdotes, often with a humorous touch, in order to balance the scientific description and ob servation. The trip into headhunter coun try for the logs, their first storm-tossed nights, the whale shark, man overboard, the final guiding of the Tiki through the coral reef to an island — these scenes are artless and unforced drama. If there is a great antagonist, ii is the sea. Before the voyage none of the crew were sailors, and therefore they had a pro found respect for and fear of the sea: “We were still uncertain whether it would show itself a friend or enemy in the intimate proximity we ourselves had sought.' The Janus-like sea, which buoys them up and teems with food for their support, nearly drowns one of them and later threatens to rip their raft apart. The interest does not flag between ten sions. The more mundane activities: get ting food and water, guiding the raft, and watching the marine fife — are so far from the ordinary that they are rarely dull. Somewhat like Robinson Crusoe’s basic problems, they have a down-to-earth reality. At times daily-life incidents and de tails become too minute, and the author carries description too far; but this is a rarity. He succeeds in his major goal. His account of the voyage makes the the ory of the migration from Peru very plaus ible and, in addition, he renews confidence in the abilities of primitive peoples. The book itself contains three basic, appealing ingredients. Graphic, realistic narration is the first. Simply put, it is a good story told by an observant partici pant. Secondly, the South Sea Islands have 6

did these men go? Of course, they went for science, for adventure, for escape; but there is more. The struggle with his en vironment is dear to man. He pits himself against his environment to prove himself and his worth. The challenge is there. As one of the conquerors of Everest stated: “Men climb mountains because they are there.” The men of the Tiki took up the challenge, and in their victory over age and elements they expanded the horizon of man’s consciousness.

always held a romantic fascination. We long for the return to an uncluttered, fresh, simple existence as did Gaugin. Something more has made this a world wide favorite, translated into twenty-two languages. As I hinted earlier, Kon-tiki is a human epic. Pushed by the tradewinds and the Humboldt Current, the selfcontained world of the Kon-tiki follows a forgotten route, cutting through centuries of time, uniting men of today with their heritage buried in the remote past. Why

THE WHITE GOD AND THE INCAS T1 here is a legend, common to all the * early American Indian peoples, of a bearded while god who once ruled the people. He taught the Indians all they knew in the way of crafts and technology. But for one reason or another each tribe’s god was forced to leave in his ship with a promise of future return. The sanai legends are found among the peoples of ibe Andes. However, no trace of the uliite god or his people can be found by the archeologist of today. He finds the great Indian civilizations in early Andean history the Chavin and Chimu civilizations, which flourished from the last centuries before Christ until their conquest by the Incas in the middle of the fifteenth century — but no white race. The first signs of this white race are found with the Incas. About 1100 A. D., as legend goes, Manco Capac, descendant of the sun, and his three brothers set out with their wives from the Lake Titicaca region in southern Peru in search of a new land for the na tion they were to found. Guided by a gold en rod which sank into the ground near the modern city of Cuzco, they settled down. Manco became the first Inca (ruler) of the people and Cuzco its capital city. By 1350 the Incas had gained control of a region as large as the Atlantic sea board of the United States, which extend ed from the equator to 35 degrees south latitude. They took this area by a pro gram of conquest and assimilation. They allowed their defeated enemies to keep their old language and customs as long as they agreed to accept Inca rule and re-

ligion, which centered around the emper or and Tiki-Virocooha, the bearded white god of the Incas who was said to have left Peru two thousand years before. The Incas molded the various peoples of the empire into a well knit and highly civilized society reminiscent of the Roman Empire of a thousand years before in Eu rope. The ruling class was made up en tirely of those of royal blood. All govern ment positions, whether in Cuzco or in the provinces, were filled in this way. The Sapa (only) Inca ruled at the head of the state as a demi-god, much as Augustus of Rome. He was considered by all to be the descendant of the sun god. Priests wor shipped him in connection with their sun worship, and the most beautiful girls were picked each year as his Chosen Virgins. (It was the duty of the ruling Inca to have as many children as possible by these girls that there might be enough men of noble blood to fill the government posts. The Sapa Incas each had between two hundred and five-hundred children.) Although the subjects of the empire were not required to adopt the Inca lan guage, Quecha was the official tongue and was taught to all those willing to learn. Though they had a rich spoken tongue, the Incas possessed no written language as we know it today. All records were kept on the quipu, a series of varicolored knotted cords and strings. The Incas be came so adept at using this device that they were able to record not only numeri cal data, but history as well. The people of the empire were divided decimally into smaller and smaller groups. 7

At the bottom of the order was the ’ayllu, a clan group run much in the same way as a commune is run today. Each ’ayllu was allotted a plot of land. The produce of one part of the land went to the ’ayllu, another part to the state, and still another part to the church (in the person of the Inca). Each member of the ’ayllu paid no taxes except his labor in the state fields and a stint in the mit’a, or public works corps. This system made for contentment in that the people’s needs were satisfied and their ambitions checked. The Incas were far advanced in archi tecture. Huge palaces, temples and forts were built of stones weighing many tons. All these were transported by human la bor alone and fitted so carefully that even today a knife blade will not fit between them. Long aqueducts were built to carry water from the mountains to the cities and fields. Roman aqueducts and stone work are shoddy in comparison. Communication in the empire was al so excellent. There was a fine system of roads leading to all the remote parts of the Inca domain. A system of post run ners was set up which could carry news from one end of the land to the other in less than a week. Roadside rest stations were built for weary travelers. The Inca civilization was also very rich by our standards. Since the people had no money trade but only a rude sys tem of barter, gold and silver were looked upon only as beautiful metals to be used by artisans in articles of fine craftsman ship. Accordingly, they covered temple walls with plates of gold and filled the gardens at Cuzco with plants, animals.

and men of solid gold. All these articles gained their value from the craftsman ship with which they were made, not from the material. There are many features of the Inca civilization which point to the truth of the legend of the early white race. As in Europe, red was the royal color. Spoons, found in the early Mediterranean civili zations, were commonly used by the Inca nobility. The nobility is also said to have had a special language which the com moners could not understand. From the similarity of words found in Cretan linear B and Quecha, it has been suggested that this language was a form of Cretan. The eighth Inca, Viracocha, is represented as a man with a fair skin and a light beard. Early Spanish reports tell of Inca nobles with light skin and flaxen hair. All these signs point to an Inca ancestry from across the Atlantic, most likely Crete. In 1525, there appeared on the shores of Peru an illegitimate swineherd by the name of Francisco Pizarro. When -ic Sapa Inoa, Huayna Capac, heard of their ar rival, he decided that they were the des cendants of the white god returning to claim their own. He counseled the people to let the whites reclaim their land and not to resist. As a result Pizarro and his two hundred looting Spaniards were able to destroy a well-organized empire of six teen million people. Through this con quest PizaiTO fulfilled the white-god leg end, but at the same time he succeeded in wiping out most of the traces of the legend which he had fulfilled. NEAL SCHROEDER

MUD ON THE CANVAS ty for a quick job and some quick money. He earned much from his own works — but didn’t mind touching up his students’ work and selling it as his. Nor did he mind using the same etching for several different pictures: he would make an etch ing, form impressions from it, sell them, etch a few more lines in the plate, sell some more prints, and so on for three or four “different” pictures. Although these money-making schemes were hardly ethi cal, they detract little from the artist’s greatness. The acclaim of critics and the public did not do much to cure Rembrandt’s lack of modesty. He became conceited and ev en overbearing. He realized his greatness and knew that he did not have to act as his peers did, for who of them could come close to Rembrandt van Rijn? For eight years, life was good to the artist and his family. Rembrandt, Saskia, and Titus, their one child who survived infancy, lived in a fine house in the ghetto (Rembrandt wished to observe characters for his Old Testament paintings). A large room was set aside as a workshop. It was completely dark except for the light that came through a window in the roof. Rem brandt could regulate this beam and so achieved the striking light and dark ef fects seen in so many of his works. No happiness on this earth is lasting; in 1642 Saskia died. Then one trouble seemed to follow close upon another. That same year a company of the Amsterdam Civil Guard commissioned Rembrandt to paint its members’ portraits. Again he broke from the traditional scheme of plac ing the subjects in even rows, facing the viewer. Rembrandt pictured the life-size figures in an action scene. The picture greatly displeased most of the subjects, who felt they were slighted by being plac ed in the background. Rembrandt’s fame proved to be but fickle, and from now on he received very few commissions. For a long time Rembrandt had been living be yond his means, and debts were starting to catch up with him. About three years after his wife’s death, a maid by the name of Hendrickje Stoffels joined the van Rijn household. When nine years later she gave birth to a baby girl, Rembrandt once

"Parly in the year 1632 a young Dutch“ man of twenty-six left his home town of Leyden on the Rhine and moved to Amsterdam. A stocky, bull-necked and very confident young man he was. He knew what he wanted in life and was go ing to get it. Even at the age of fourteen, when he entered Leyden University, Rembrandt Harmenis van Rijn had one thing on his mind. Instead of filling his notebooks with Latin conjugations, he doodled. Af ter six months at the University he left to study under one of the local artists. At that time it was the custom for all artists — at least those who wished to amount to anything — to travel to Italy for study. Rembrandt didn’t. He felt it would be a waste of time. For this reason Rembrandt developed nothing of the affected and idealistic style of the Italians. After he studied for a short time under the then famous Peter Lastman, who, like Rem brandt, was conceited, but unlike him was rather pedant: -. T: nbrandt set out on his own.

Instead of painting the usual portrait con sisting of a mere group of faces, he pic tured the men as they studied a dead body. The Anatomy Lesson brought wide ac claim, and soon Rembrandt was the most popular portrait artist in the city and therefore in all of Holland. Apparently Rembrandt never went out of his way to develop friendships. None theless the popular young artist did meet quite a few people, one of whom was pret ty Saskia van Uylenburgh. Her well-to-do parents did not especially like the idea of her marriage to this upstart, but the lovers married anyway, and it turned out to be a most happy marriage. It is interesting to note that the only self-portrait (he made over seventy) in which Rembrandt smiles is that with Saskia also in it. Rembrandt worked for more than an aesthetic reason, at least during his early career — he seems to have had a mercen ary inclination. Often he sacrificed quali9

again became the talk of the town. People was entirely based on delusion.” Yet how were becoming disgusted with the man many people today have heard of Gerad and began to press him to pay his debts, de Lairesse of Amsterdam? Unable to meet the demands, Rembrandt saw all his possessions auctioned off. The destitute family moved to the slums. Yet the stubborn artist kept painting, etching and drawing, and those who know say that these later works are his best. They say that where before he had striven for striking external effects, he now turned to the inner man, to capture the wonder ful mystery of life. And it really is amaz ing when you look at some of these pic tures; the artist seems to have succeeded. Many of Rembrandt’s subjects have that unexplainable life-like quality that almost makes you expect them to move. Because of a lack of patrons, the ar tist used his own family extensively for pictures. Then, in 1662, his dear Hendrickje died, and six years later Titus. At the age of sixty-three the poor Rembrandt died and was buried in an unknown grave.

SPRING SONG Walk on with me down the road of life By the river of destiny, And I will sing you the song of spring To the water’s bright melody. For we are young, and the day is long; Do you hear the wind in the trees? It sings of summer and golden fall As it wakens the budding leaves. But now it whispers of spring’s return; And its song is my own today: That as the winter is followed by spring, And as swallows return in May, Just so life’s tempests must end in peace As, with hearts again young and free, We walk hand in hand down the road of life By the river of destiny.

MALE CHORUS CENTENNIAL TOUR

Otto conducted a side trip at the rest area on 1-90 outside of Madison; the remainder of the trip to La Crosse was uneventful. The crest of the flood was four days away, but the preparations were evident. The bridge to Minnesota was in danger of closing, so a sleepy group left La Crosse at 6:00 a. m. on Sunday morning. The flood waters drew very little attention; the ride to St. Paul was very quiet. After a morning sendee and a turkey dinner, the chorus sang an afternoon concert. The tour once again headed back to Wiscon sin’s “frische Luft” to sing in Mcnomonie that evening. The director’s bed had short sheets, his suitcase was in the gown box, and the “blonde idiot’’ wore a knowing grin. The troop went back to Minnesota for a tour of Wold-Chamberlin International Airport. Grunewald got a haircut for $4.50, while Kelm lost a dime to nature. The seniors stayed with the director at St. James, and disaster struck him. His bed was overturned, and he was not able to untie his pajamas. The Glee Club, under Otto’s faulty pitch pipe, sang a vacation of “K-K-K-Katy.” The bus had a Uoetor’s appointment in the morning, and Minne apolis again became the daytime host. Tours for the day were the Minneapolis Star & Tribune and the Lutheran Brother hood Building. The Chorus sang an eve ning concert in soggy Delano. The seniors once again moved in with the director, but he emerged unscathed in the morning. A detour to New Ulm made the 70 mile jaunt a 220 mile trip. The climax of the tour had come. As the bus pulled into New Ulm, a marathon Schafskopf game ended. Everyone was on his own; Hillview and Centennial Halls were the cen ters of interest. An appreciative crowd of 850 heard the first concert presented by a Northwestern chorus in the auditorium. The evening’s festivities consisted of vari ous gatherings and reunions. The juniors were guests of the Trapp family. Dolan experienced the misfortunes of a compli cated affair, but others had better luck. A large farewell gathering was on hand as the choir departed for Wisconsin. The tour officially left “Lake” Minne sota, via the Mississippi ford at La Crosse.

O purred on by the concert given by the chorus of Doctor Martin Luther Col lege the night before, the Male Chorus prepared to embark on its Centennial Tour of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Departure time was set for 3:00 p. m. on April 14, and anticipation ran high. From the outset it looked like a repeat of last year. Badger Coaches furnished the transportation; Larry Black was the driver, the weather was cloudy and cool, and the director was the only member of the group saying farewells. A cheer went up as the “Ratfink Special” pulled out for New Lon don. The “Ule” movement of last year was resurrected that evening, and the anony mous Vice Squad rose up in opposition to it. The first meeting took care of commit tees for the menial tasks. On the way to Peshtigo, the group made a trip into Green Bay. The National Railroad Museum drew the choir’s atten tion in the morning. In the afternoon Carl Otto was in his glory as the group toured Packer Stadium. He kissed the sacred turf and saw Paul’s locker. In fact, Carl may have a tough schedule this fall — he dis covered that his name is now on the ros ter. “Lawrenz Cash and Carry” opened shop. The evening found the chorus near Peshtigo at a rural congregation. The “Ute” movement breathed its last when President Dolan asked for a show of strength, and no one showed. Everyone stayed at farm homes that evening. Algoma turned out one of the best crowds of the tour, as well as the most appealing. Milwaukee took the group in for the night, and the first of a series of “letters home” was written. Saturday din ner was consumed in Madison. “Teacher” 14

group’s own academy award nominations, were made in the evening at Winnebago Lutheran Academy. The final meeting came to a close. A crowd of 400 was on hand for the final concert. After a jovial trip back to Watertown, the tour concluded. Cheers were in order for the driver and the director. Local people had an opportunity to hear the program at a homecoming con cert April 26. The success of the tour was the result of careful planning. Spirit was good and an abundance of humor kept the chorus loose. Business meetings were lively. Cen sures and conduct letters to sweethearts at home were new additions. Everyone called this the best tour yet. The long preparation was well worth the time.

The crest had come on the preceding day, and the flood was at its peak. According to a previous resolution, Kiecker’s souve nir key of the previous stay in La Crosse was thrown overboard as the bus crossed the river. At Baraboo “Teacher” conduct ed a word study of “New Ulm.” Luebchow again reaped the benefits of bachelorhood — a graduation tassel. John Braun defend ed his position as head of public relations. The group returned to Madison to sing for the governor. Chilly Rhinelander was the host for the evening concert. A late departure on the following morning took the group to Green Bay and the last night away. The beautiful church and carillon prompted a good concert. After the Sunday morning services in Green Bay, the tour approached its final leg. Fox Valley Lutheran High served the noon meal and was the scene of the afternoon concert. "Reaver Awards," the

The beauty of this paper is that it is entirely auf Dcutsch! (Beauty for those who go for Goe the and like Schiller sober). It is easy to write, easier to read, but easiest to mark. So now Paul Kelm has stepped into John Lawrenz’s editorial slippers, and I must try to squeeze a pair of wall-to-wall feet into John Trapp’s brogans. Far be it from me, John, to deviate from the glorious example you and our predecessors have set. As has been traditional in this column, we shall diligently separate the grain from die chaff — and publish the chaff. CHESSCAPADES

The Ides of March found the entire dormi tory engaged in a blazing chess tournament. The combatants clashed time after time until the last match in which Jim Borchardt besieged and routed Bob Helhnann for the champion ship. Such martial dedication could hardly fail to awaken die ancient Homeric Muse from her Sleep of the Ages. As you will immediately ob17

serve, she happened to be collecting folk songs from King Arthur Festerling at the time. EMBUSHCADO

Come, watch with me yon maudlin Bout; I am full loath to miss the Rout. Each Grim Host stands so blithely by Awaiting yonder Trumpet’s cry. Bold Kings, their Queens, and Nymphal Eights, The Wardens of the Castle Gates, Swift Knights-Errant, and Bishops too Stand steadfast in the Morning dew. Hark! Hear them shout! The Tilt is on! A Maelstrom ’gulfs the Lists anon. Knights’ Launces all toshivered fly; Macl shrieks of Laughter cleave the Sky. The Queens in Divers Places fall As Castles heed the Martial Call. The Field is swept by Carnage great, Save for the Nymphs and Heads of State Who drive them up die empty Field — They do not flinch, they cannot yield! Come, let us go, the Strife is done. “But, hold!” you cry. “Which Side has won?” See Thou the Kings’ bewildered Awe? Yon Joust is ended in a Draw! Wayne Mueller and Dennis Enser were less keyed about their match. Wayne and his smoke screen broke the deathly hush and muted whis pers of the Borchardt-Trapp game when he strode into the lounge and cheerfully announ ced that he had lost the shortest game of the tournament. “He called ‘heads.’ ” Since this is the last you will hear about chess this year, one might perhaps complete die score by saying something about die suddendeath cribbage tournament held simultaneously. I just did. SHORTS

There is even humor in die classroom. Professor Kowalke was com menting dryly, as usual, on someone’s scholar ship of the re infecta gender. “You think he forgot it? Well, that gives him credit for hav ing known about it.” In a different class, Pro fessor Schumann was discussing the lack of Ro man heavy industry (??). “The Italians had to go to war — but you can't go to war shooting grapes and olive stones!”

Speaking of fruits, by the way, what do you do when an apple rolls into your room and ex plodes? You take another firecracker, wrap it in some old limburger, and give them Cheese Bits. The vendetta on third floor north has since cooled. One can’t help noticing the centennial beards grown by men on campus. The gay lords, Gartman and Sievert, had the most out standing ones until just before Easter vacation, when they hedged on die deal and trimmed. Although Infidel Castro Kirschke, Nordiwestern’s only furrin exchange student from Cuber, had no qualms about being bearded from the sidelines during the tennis season, he also pruned his way back into society.

During the past year the library has been quietly expanding, adding about five hundred books to its collection. Many of these books — over half — were donated to the library, chiefly by William F. Luebke, class of '03. One of the most expensive sets added to the library’s col lection is Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Mu sicians. OUicr sets are Schalfs History of Chris tian Church and the Heath Publisher's Discus sions in Literature. Other accessions are addi tional volumes for partial sets, such as the twen ty-fourth volume of Pauly’s Realencyclopacdia and another volume in Kind's Thcologischcs Wocrtcrbuch. Many novels were added, and many books dealing with United States’ history. Shakespeare and Shakespeare criticism contri buted a sizable number of books. The most important accession this year was a beautifully hand-crafted reproduction of the Gutenberg Bible, donated to the library by Prof, and Mrs. Kowalke. TORNADO

EASTER CONCERT

After a long trip from Omaha, Nebraska, and a hasty meal at Trinity Church, the D.M. L.C. Tour Choir members stormed out of their buses and into the N.W.C. gym for pre concert rehearsals, A few minutes later at 7:30 on April 13, they presented a difficult and pol ished concert to a large audience. After the concert many choir members visited friends, for mer classmates and relatives at Northwestern, and in Watertown. The next morning they visited and sang at Bcthesda and toured the college campus. After dinner in the dining hall die choir left for its next concert at Kenosha. The D.M.L.C. concert was well attended by students, many of whom sang at New Ulm a week later during the Male Chorus tour.

The large crowd that attended this year’s Easter Concert on April 4 heard both the tra ditional Lenten and Easter hymns sung by die choruses and also a number of pieces play ed by the fast-improving orchestra. The or chestra opened die program with excellent ren ditions of Handel’s "Overture to ‘Samson’ ” and the third movement of a Vivaldi concerto. The three choruses, Prep, Male, and Mixed, followed widi seasonal chorales. A brass en semble played before the concert and for the hymns sung by die audience. ORGAN RECITAL

NORTHWESTERN DAY

As a fitting climax for Northwestern’s Cen tennial year, a special day of celebration is be ing planned for May 31. On that day, which has been designated as “Northwestern Day,” 18

much of Northwestern’s past history ancl rich heritage will be recalled. Students will wear costumes of earlier years. A bandshell, pattern ed after the old bandshell that used to stand in front of the Prep dormitory, will be erected and used for band concerts and for speeches and special ceremonies. Other events during the day will include inter-class games and con tests during the morning, a series of skits deal ing with life and events of Northwestern’s early history during the afternoon, and in the eve ning a fireworks display. Throughout the day a historical gallery composed of pictures, ex hibits, and mementos of Northwestern’s history will be on display. Northwestern Day is being planned with a picnic atmosphere, with meals and refreshments for sale, and a leisurely pace. .Since May 31 is a legal holiday and a Monday, it is hoped that many of Northwestern’s alum ni and friends will attend this celebration.

INTRAMURALS VOLLEYBALL

SPRING OUTLOOK

i: N.

••

The date of the first scheduled baseball game came and passed before the team could so much as take batting practice. Wet grounds made outdoor practice impossible and caused the first game to be cancelled. The gym was the scene of a full round of daily practices, be ginning with the ricocheting of rubber balls when the golf team started things off at the noon hour. Conditioning sessions for the prep and collegiate baseball teams filled the after noon, and a second shift of golfers completed die cycle after chapel. Bodi teams got enough preliminary practice to enable them to get off to a good start once they are able to join the tennis team outside. All diree teams have solid cores of return ing veterans and several promising newcomers. The baseball team has lost most of its longball punch through graduation and will have to make its hits count on offense. Defense should be better, since experienced players are return ing at every position but catcher. Kobleske, Schwartz, Hallemeyer, and Baumler are lead ing candidates for infield positions, and Buch, Everts, and Schroeder are expected to see a lot of action in the outfield. The team should be strengdiened by die return of Bode and Halim after a year’s absence. A great deal of the team’s success will probably depend on the perform ance of several promising pitching prospects. If Cullen, Froehlich, or Plitzuweit can take some of die load off returning pitchers, Kelm, Kobleske, and Everts, die team should improve its 2-10 record of last year. This year the golf team will enter intercol legiate competition for the first time, playing in five matches and one tournament. After many aspiring golfers had been given a chance to show their stuff, die team was cut to nine men, eight of whom are underclassmen. Returning from last year are Goeglein, Hellmann, Hopf, Mittelstaedt, Rose, Trapp, and Zarling. These seven and two Freshmen, Klatt and Lambert, will battle it out for die top five positions. It remains to be seen how the team will fare in its first season, but the number of underclass men on die team will provide a good chance for improvement in die next few years. The tennis team has five out of six starters back diis year. Listed according to rank they are Kirschke, Anderson, Festerling, Lindholm, and Luedtke. A playoff is now in progress to select the sixth man, with Clarey and Stadler emerging as leading contenders for die spot. 20

more valuable than any recall of know ledge. Northwestern, like any other col lege or university, will never turn out fin ished products. What it has done is to provide the student with the means and know-how with which he can continue his education. For the Senior these have been years of discovery. He has learned where his special talents and abilities lie, and he has had opportunity to put them to the test in the classroom, or on the ath letic field, before an audience, or in his student relations. Most important of all, he can be assured of what his education has done for him. He need not fear to undertake further studies and new chal lenges, but can have the confidence that comes from knowing that his own abilities have been proven and successfully used.

editorial Mr. Senior: The staff of Volume 69 extends to you its heartiest congratulations upon your graduation. As a member of the Centen nial Class and thereby of Tau Delta Theta, your contributions to N.W.C. in this year of celebration have been really amazing. Your class is an able and versatile one. You have demonstrated prowess in ath letics and in all your extra-curricular pur suits.

j. M.

None of us is glad to see you leave our halls, but we all realize that our loss is Mequon’s and Synod’s gain. And in this light we wish you Godspeed and His bles sing in all your endeavors.

In California, stu dent riots go under the name of freedom or constitutionalism. Campus protest is an expression of a generation that is fighting to regain intangible liberties and an indi vidualism it never knew.

We also hope that you will not forget Northwestern, but rather remember your Alma Mater, the Christian atmosphere in which she nourished you, her dedicated faculty, her spirited students. N.W.C. has been your school for four years, and she should remain your school. J. t.

A less lofty expression of the restless, uncertain student in this era of prosperity is hyper-critical fault-finding. This nega tive form of protest or criticism is danger ously prevalent on a small college campus like ours. The faculty is one of the prime targets of criticism. Curriculum, food and fellow students fall under critical fire. In athletics, the critic prefers to jeer the op position rather than to cheer his own team. It is easier to discredit coach and players than support a losing team.

LJow does a student go about evaluatJ- ing his four years of college educa tion? He begins by looking back on his college career and notes that a greater share of his studies have been merely sur vey courses. He’s been introduced to ev erything from trigonometry and the funda mental laws of physics to psychology and Greek drama. He is quick to add that he hasn’t really begun to scratch the surface of any of these fields. And I’m afraid that if he were called upon to reproduce some speoific area of his learning, the results would be rather disappointing.

Griping becomes a habit, a character trait. No one looks up to the chronic gri per. Everyone admires a positive, cheer ful attitude. A “blue” depressed mood fos ters complaint. Take an inventory of yourself. Look for the “best construction on everything.” Oppose or ignore the griper, whose sustinence is sympathy and concurrence. Your school is what you make it.

Should the graduating Senior, then, consider himself to be no more than just another “Jack of all trades and master of none” with a B. A. to prove it? Hardly, for he has acquired here something far

'dllje (Sernran ©ration LUTHERS VERSTAENDNISZ DES GEBETS IM CHRISTLICHEM LEBEN

Was ist notwendig zum rechten Gebet? “Das erste ist, Gottes Verheiszung; welches ist das Hauptstueck, Grund und Kraft aller Gebete.” Es ist die Zuversicht auf die Zusagung Gottes, dasz er uns helfen, erhoeren, barmherzig und gnaedig sein wolle; denn das ganze christliche Wesen besteht in diesen zwei Stuecke: Gnade und Gebet. Wir koennen nicht vor Gott kommen um unserer Wuerdigkeit willen, sondern wir muessen zu ihm schreien und rufen um der Wuerdigkeit seines eigenen Sohnes, Jesu Christi willen, der fuer uns gestorben ist und uns von alien Suenden erloeset hat. Wir verlassen uns allein auf das Verdienst Christi, der unser Fuersprecher und Mittler vor dem Vater ist. Es gehoert auch zu diesem Stueck, dasz wir allein im Namen Christi beten koennen, “denn alles Gebet, das nicht geschieht. im Namen Jesu, ist kein Gebet noch Gottesdienst.” Wir beten auch gewiszlich und sioherlich, weil das Gebet “ein geboten Werk ist.” Ja, die Verheiszung ist wahrlich “die Seele des Gebets.” Ein rechtschaffenes Gebet fordert auch einen starken Glauben an die Verheiszung. Denn oft sagt Luther: “Wer nicht glaubt, der kann nicht beten.” “Der Glaube aber ist eine feste, ungezweifelte Zuversicht auf Gotten Verheiszung. ..” Wir muessen an der Zusagung des getreuen Gottes fest halten, weil er uns das Gebet geboten hat und uns zu erhoeren verheiszen hat, denn er kann nicht luegen. Aber solcher Glaube kommt nicht aus uns, sondern der Heilige Geist musz ihn uns geben. Denn der Heili ge Geist ist immer mit uns, und betet immerdar fuer uns. So haben wir nun die zwei Stuetzen des Gebets, die Verheiszung und den Glauben. Luther schrieb: “Denn das ist nach dem Predigtamt der hoechste Gottesdienst bei den Christen, dasz man bete.” Er wiederholt dies fuenfmal in seinen Schiften. Er nennt es “eine grosze Arbeit,” “ein fast allerschwerstes Werk,” und “das vomehmste Werk.” Derhalben ist das echte Beten ein sehr seltenes Werk. Luther braucht hier zwei Vergleiche um die Wichtigkeit des Gebets im Leben eines Christen auszudruecken. Erstens sagt er: “Wie ein Schuster einen Schuh

S’

: -

macht, und ein Schneider einen Rock; al so soli ein Christ beten. Eines Christen Handwerk ist Beten.” Zum anderen sagt er: . . man kann keinen Christen finden ohne Beten, so wenig als einen lebendigen Menschen ohne den Puls. . .Wenn wir nicht das Fleisch und Brot aeszen und Wasser traenken, koennten wir nicht laenger leben. Sie sind notwendig zu unserem leibliohen Leben. Also notwendig ist das Gebet zu unserem geistlichen Leben. Ohne Gebet musz unser Glaube sterben. Endlich sagt Luther diese strengen, harten Worte: “Darum habe ich allezeit gesagt, wie noetig ein christlich Gebet ist, dasz ohne dasselbige der Glaube nicht bestehen noch bleiben kann.” Und wenn der Glaube stirbt, so sind wir ewiglich verdammt. Ist das moeglich? Wie kann das sein? Warum hat Luther dies gesagt? Wir muessen diese Fragen beantworten, um Luthers Lehre und BegrifF des Gebets zu erfassen. Ein Glaube ohne Beten ist kein Glaube. Was ist denn das Verhaeltnis zwischen dem Gebet und dem Glauben? Luther sagt: “Denn es ist daran nicht genug, »b wir gleich das Wort haben, und alles vvissen und verstehen, was wir wissen soB.on, beide, die Lehre vom Glauben, und vc.- i Trost und Ueberwindung in alien Noeten. es gehoert noch ein Stueck dazu, das hciszt die Tat. .. .” Diese Tat ist nichts anders denn das Gebet. Weiter nennt Luther das Ge bet, “eine sonderliche Uebung des Glaubens” und auch “der Gebrauch des Glaubens.” Luther drueckt denselben Gedanken in dieser rhetorisohen Frage aus: “. . . wenn keine andern guten Werke geboten waeren, waere nicht das Beten allein ge nu gsam, das ganze Leben des Menschen im Glauben zu ueben?” Hier muessen wir ein Beispiel aus dem taeglichen Leben nehmen. Wenn man einen Arm gebrochen hat, musz man ihn bestaendig bewegen, sonst bleibt der Arm schwach und kraftlos. Darum musz das Gebet solch eine bestaendige Uebung sein, weil es unter den Umstaenden das Gegebene ist, denn es ist der vollkommenste Ausdruck des Christenglaubens zu seinem Gott und Erloeser. Luther sagt: “Sie sind drei Feinde wi der das Beten.” “Der erste ist der alte faule Sack, unser eigenes Fleisch,” welches

“Alle Werke der Glaeubigen ist Gebet.” In dieser Weise allein koennen wir die Stelle der Schrift verstehen, in welcher der Apostel sagt: “Bete ohne Unterlasz.” Darum ist das Gebet nicht allein muendlich, sondern es ist ein Werk des Herzens, ja, ein geistliches Werk. Das tiefste Seufzen zu Gott ist das heftigste Gebet. Darum konnte Luther nach einem alten Spruch sagen: “Wer treulich arbeitet, der betet zweifaeltig.” Und er sagt weiter: “Ein Christ betet immer, mag er schlafen oder wachen. Denn das Herz desselben betet immer, und das Seufzen ist ein groszes und starkes Gebet.” Also ist unser ganzes Leben ein staendiges Gebet. Es ist klar, dasz das Gebet sehr notwendig ist, aber wie sollen wir beten? Luther sagt, dasz ein Gebet nicht lang sein sollte, sondern kurz und haeufig. Wir muessen hitzig in unserem Kaemmerlein beten. Nimmer koennen wir im Beten aufhoeren oder muede werden. Darum, wenn wir im festen Vertrauen auf die Verheiszung Gottes fleiszig beten, ist es unmoeglich, dasz wir nicht erhoert werden. “Denn das rechte Gebet der Glaeubigen kann nicht vergeblich sein. . .” Darum sollen wir unverschaemt beten. Endlich koennen wir mit Luther sagen: “Derhalben ist dies der hoechste Gottesdienst und Religion, dasz man glaube, dasz Gott wahrhaftig sei.” Beten fordert diesen Glauben an die Verheiszung, wel cher ist nichts anders, denn dasz wir glauben dasz “Gott wahrhaftig sei” und dasz er uns erhoeren und helfen wolle. Dieser Satz ist das Hauptstueck oder Herz von Luthers ganzen Begriff des Gebets. Darum konnte Luther das Gebet illad spiraculum vitae essentials oder substantia vitae nennen. Darum hat er auch gesagt: “Ohristi Reich ist auch ein Reich des Ge ” “Das Zeichen, dasz einer das bets. Wort hat, ist, dasz er beten kann. Meine einfache Absicht war, zu zeigen, wie wichtig das Gebet fuer Luther war, und ich schliesze diese Ansprache mit diesen Worten des groszen Lehres: “Wie noetig aber das Gebet ist, ist nicht hier zu erzaehlen. . . .” Ja, das kommt allein aus Erfahrung.

taeglich wider uns streitet und strebt. Zum andern ist die Welt. Aber “der dritte Feind ist nun der allerstaerkste, der leidige Teu fel, welcher hat die zweierlei Vorteile, dasz wir von Natur nicht gut sind, und dazu schwach im Glauben und Geist. . . .” Sie versuchen uns und reiszen uns dahin. Sie wollen uns auf den breiten Weg zur Hoelle fuehren. Aber wir muessen uns daran erinnern, das wir neue Menschen sind, welche nach dem Ebenbild Gottes in echter Wahrheit und Heiligkeit erneuert wer den. Unser ganzes Leben ist ein einfaeltiges Streben wider diese Feinde, um das Ziel zu erreichen. Dies ist kein leichter Kampf, sondern ein allerschwerster Kampf welcher ein festes Vertrauen im Glauben auf die Verheiszung Gottes fordert, dasz er uns erhoeren und helfen wird. “Darum haben wir ja stete Ursache zu beten und rufen. . .” Ja, jeder Christ musz diesen Streit kaempfen. weil diese Noete d. h., diese Feinde, gemein auf dieser Erde sind. “Not lehret beten ” Luther sagt auch: “Derhalben uns Trueb^al und Kreuz so not ist als das Leben selbsi, und noch viel noetiger und nuetzer denn aller Welt Gut und Ehre.” Solcher Angst, Kummer, Truebsal, Gefahr und Unglueck treiben uns zu Gott im Gebet. Denn duroh Gebet allein, wel ches sich ganz und g;-.i auf die Zusagung Gottes und auf das Vcrdienst Christi verlaeszt, koennen wir die Versuchungen, welche taeglich uns begegnen, und diese drei Feinde ueberwinden. Denn das bruenstige Gebet “, . .ist beide, unser Trost, Staerke und Heil fuer uns selbst, und un sere Wehre und Sieg wider alle Feinde.” Gott legt diese Kreuze uns auf, und er moechte so unseren Glauben staerken und ueben. Luther unterrichtet uns, was wir in Anfeohtung tun sollen. Ja, er sagt, dasz wir unsere staerksten Waffen wider die Angriffe dieser drei Feinde gebrauchen muessen. “Der Satan sucht alles Uebel ueber uns zu fuehren. Darum muessen wir im Gegenteil durch das Gebet alles Uebel abzuwenden suchen.” “Gerade dann, wenn du fuehlst, dasz die Anfechtung am heftigsten ist, und du am wenigsten bereit zum Beten, dann gehe an einen Ort wo du allein bist, und bete das Vaterunser oder alles, was du nur irgend wider den Teufel und seine Anfechtung sagen kannst, dann wirst du empfinden, dasz die Anfechtung nachlasse und der Satan die Flucht ergreife.”

SAINT PETER IN ROME

,1 1: i

A .«

The question of St. Peter’s residence may be noted here that no authentic and later martyrdom in Rome is one which writings of the first two centuries definite has perplexed scholars for centuries. Many ly place Peter in Rome. During the second century, after the and varied arguments have been used in order to prove or disprove his connection church of Jerusalem had been completely with Rome, but, for the most part, these destroyed by Emperor Hadrian, the leaders arguments have fallen short of producing of the Roman Catholic Church began to conclusive evidence concerning the mat fabricate the most fantastic legends re ter. If one were to single out the group garding Peter in Rome. These developed that has done the most extensive work on into the so-called “Clementine literature” this question, it would have to be the scho of the second and third centuries. Its vari lars and theologians of the Roman Catho ous items are frankly admitted to be for geries. The later church fathers placed lic Church. Since the entire papal structure stands Peter in Rome because they were the inno or falls on this question, it became neces cent victims of these Clementine forgeries. The apocryphal Acts of Paid and Acts sary for the Catholic Church to establish Peter’s residence in Rome. Only then of Peter, both dating from the last twenty would it -have a basis for proving that years of the second century, are a further Peter was the first pope and that he hand source of evidence for the Catholic Church. ed down the keys of the Kingdom of Heav They both make the assertion that the deaths of the apostles took place during en to his Roman successors. The assertion which the Catholic Nero’s reign and connect Peter’s name Church makes and defends is that Peter with the founding of the church at Rome. came to Rome A. D. 42 and held his epis However, these are not regarded as com copate until 67. As their scriptural proof pletely reliable either, since they are per for this claim, they use I Peter 5:13, in meated with superstitions. As has been previously mentioned, the which Peter says that he is writing from Babylon. This Babylon, they argue, was Catholic Church quite generally accepts used figuratively in apostolic times for the traditional account, which places Peter Rome. However, in the opinion of the as bishop in Rome from A. D. 42-67. How anti-Petrine scholars, this is proof that ever, this theory of a twenty-five year epis Peter spent the last years of his life in the copate involves some difficulties. First of real Babylon of the Far East. all, its beginning would have to be dated Another source of proof which the Ro at 42. We are able to prove from Scrip man Catholic Church relies upon is the tures, Acts 12:17, that Peter left Jerusa traditional writings of the apostolic fath lem during the persecution of the Chris ers of the first four centuries. An epistle tians under Herod Agrippa in 44. Euse of St. Clement of Rome to the Corinthians, bius, a Roman Catholic historian, tried to dated about A.D. 96, is the earliest witness reconcile this passage with the twenty-five outside the New Testament. In this epistle year episcopate by saying that Peter went Clement speaks of the martyrdom of St. to Rome immediately after leaving Jerusa Paul and St. Peter as examples of “cham lem. However, the indefiniteness of this pions of the faith.” However, he does not expression, in connection with a remark mention the location of this martyrdom. of Paul, I Corinthians 9:5, is best explain Since Paul was martyred in Rome under ed by saying that he became a traveling Nero sometime between the years 64-68, missionary like most of the other apostles. the conclusion is drawn that Clement was According to Acts 15, Peter is back in Jer referring to Rome when he wrote concern usalem at the apostolic council held aing the persecution and death of Peter and bout A. D. 50. A year later Paul reproves Paul. Further traditional proof is drawn him in Antioch, as it is recorded in Gala from the letters of St. Ignatius and St. tians 2:11. Following this we find Peter Irenaeus during the second century. It doing missionary work in Babylon or in 28

Asia Minor among the dispersed Jews, to whom he also addressed his epistles. On these missionary tours he was accompa nied by his wife, as we learn from I Cor inthians 9:5. The New Testament contains no men tion of Peter’s residence in Rome, unless, as the church fathers and many modem expositors claim, Rome is intended by the mystic “Babylon” mentioned in I Peter 5: 13. Significant is the entire silence of Acts 28 respecting Peter as well as the silence of Paul in his Epistle to the Romans, A. D. 58, and in the epistles written from Rome during his imprisonment there. Peter is not once mentioned in the salutations of these letters. If Peter were a resident of Rome at this time and if he were Rome’s bishop, Paul surely would have made some mention of him. This then is proof that Peter was absent from Rome between the years 58-63. A casual visit to Rome be fore 58 is possible but doubtful. It is high ly probable that there was a congregation of Christians at Rome during the early forties, for by the year 49 its missionary fervor seems to have stirred up the trouble that resulted in the expulsion of all Jews from Rome by the Emperor Claudius. This incident is referred to in Acts 18:2. How ever, in 54 the Jewish Christians found their way back to Rome again. Some be lieve that no apostle had yet served the congregation, basing cheir conclusion on a passage in Romans, where Paul inti mates that he does not build upon another man’s foundation. That Peter was in Rome after 63 is highly probable and entirely possible. We know from I Peter 5:13 that Peter was as sociated with Mark. We also know that Mark was associated with Peter in the writing of his gospel. His gospel is associ-

ated with Rome. Therefore Peter may be said to be associated with Rome in con nection with Mark. This conclusion is giv en additional weight by the fact that Mark was associated with Paul at Rome in 6263 and again in 67. We also have the evidence supplied by the Neonian perse cutions sometime after July, 64. There is nothing to hinder the conclusion that Peter may well have been in Rome in 63 and that he was put to death under Nero. During the past two decades, the Cath olic Church has undertaken extensive ex cavations at the site of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome in an attempt to find Peter’s tomb. Just recently a Greek epigrapher announced that he had found strong evi dence pointing to its location in this area. He drew this conclusion from the graffiti or wall writings found beneath the Basili ca. By working out a scheme of decodifi cation, he believes that he actually located Peter’s tomb. There is indeed nothing in Scriptures that would prevent Peter’s arrival at Rome after 63, even if only as a captive during the aftermath of the Neronian persecu tions. Nor is there any Scriptural reason to doubt the tradition that he was cruci fied there in the year 67. However, there is no proof whatever, either in Scripture or in other sources, that he resided in Rome for twenty-five years, that he was bishop of Rome, or that he laid claim to the primacy. No article of faith is involved, wheth er we believe that Peter was bishop in Rome or not. Our concern has been to disprove the so-called conclusive evidence that Peter was the first of the popes and that he passed the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven to his successors.

centennial

Although the end is near, our Centen nial is still full of life and enthusiasm. In fact Northwestern Day, a full day dedi cated to Centennial, is still to come on May 31. After an informal picnic begin ning at 11:30 A. M., the day’s program will start at 1:00 at the Sprinter with brief tributes by Mavor White and Assem blyman Wackett. The first of four oneact plays will then be presented, re-enact ing “The Dedication of the Gym and the Sprinter” and featuring actual speeches and telegrams, including one from Presi dent Taft, and music.

PAUL STUEBS

KTorthwestern’s Centennial year — a year of remembering the past and looking forward to the future — is rapidly drawing to a close. But before the Black and Red is forced to leave this year to his tory, we would like to take a look at what has been done and at what will still be done to make this a special year. 29

A free hour that follows will feature a concert from the specially constructed band shell in front of East Hall, picture displays, and tours of the buildings. The Synod recognition period, beginning around 2:45, will include messages from various officials. At this time Prof. Kowalke will be presented with the first copy of Centennial Story. Then the remaining three vignettes will be presented. These include “President Martin and Northwes tern University,” an enactment of the de cision to make this a school to train pas tors; “The Fire of 1894,” a view of the hope which followed it; and “Crimes and Punishments,” a picture of student life around 1900. The audience’s attention will then be directed to the athletic field for the sham battle, which will re-enact the SpanishAmerican War as was done fifty years ago on our campus. Some fifty-five students with rifles, horses, and grenades will par ticipate in the surprise attack on the Americans, the burning of their hut, and the following furious battle on the plain. After an informal supper hour, a variety show by the sudents at 7:00 and com munity singing will fill the evening hours. Then around 8:30 a display of fireworks will bring Northwestern Day to a close. In addition, the Synod Convention will be held on campus in August, with Northwestern’s Centennial as its main theme. Displays and exhibits from Northwestern Day will probably be set up for the dele gates. This whole year, however, has been dedicated to Northwestern’s 100th birth day. Activities have ranged from students’ wearing blazers with Centennial seals to Prof. Kowalke’s writing of a 350-page book. Even something like the Sophomore TreePlanting Ceremony on Arbor Day had a Centennial flavor. Homecoming began the Centennial ob servances. It included all the traditional festivities, but with the emphasis on the official theme, “Centennial.” For instance, the Junior display, which gained top hon ors, depicted the old Kaffeemuehle and contained large sketches of all the college presidents. The second place float by the Tertia Class showed a Trojan ship as it sailed up the Rock River to found North western. The gym decorations for the banquet

focused on a large Centennial seal. The program was dedicated to the history of football at Northwestern, as was the 28page Homecoming booklet. Five former stars told about football in their day. Sev eral humorous skits by the Forum Society enlivened the program. Throughout the year interesting men were invited to give Centennial lectures on campus. The varied subjects for these lec tures included our Synod’s African mis sions by Missionary Sauer, Luther by Dr. Bluhm of Yale, art by Mr. Franzmann, the Classics by Prof. Howe of the University of Wisconsin, and the Lutheran Church in France by Prof. Sullivan. The Last Cen tennial lecture was a film and talk by Rev. Hoenecke on Hong Kong. In preparation for this the students held a Hong Kong Mission Seminar, for which they decorated the gym, made posters, and gave reports. All the organizations on campus, more over, did what they could to add to the Centennial observance. The Pops Concert in February was dedicated to the history of instrumental music at Northwestern. In addition to the written history in the program, the first half of the concert it self consisted entirely of music which had been played by our bands in the past. Be cause of the Centennial year. Northwes tern’s Male Chorus made a special tour over Easter, singing in Minnesota and Wisconsin. A history of NWC’s literary societies was included in the program for the For um’s final production. The Black and Red also tried to do its part. A special supplement was sent to every alumnus to acquaint him with the Centennial plans. Centennial articles, written by Erhard Opsahl, covered the im portant history and interesting sidelights of the past 100 years. In addition, for each issue a former editor told of North western as it was when he was a student. On a larger scale, a 350-page history of Northwestern was written by Prof. Kowalke. This book, Centennial Story, re traces the events of the past 100 years. One feeling was pre-eminent through out this Centennial year — the feeling of thanksgiving to God for all His blessings to our school and of prayer for His con tinued guidance in the future. And in this vein the year was memorable for ev eryone. j. V.

JOHN LAWRENZ CLASS PRESIDENT

If there is one member of the student body that needs no introduction, it is John Lawrenz. The president of his class for two years, one-time secretary-treasurer of the Dorm Council, and Black and Red Editor, John has well proved his versatility and leadership capabilities. In fact, you could almost call him the “Man About Campus.” In addition to these positions, Mr. Lawrenz has been a four-year member of Forum, Male Chorus, and Mixed Chorus. In that time he designed and built two stage sets for final productions, put on a presentation of his own, and survived two chorus tours. John didn’t lose any of his energy this Centennial year either. His artistic touch was a large fac tor in making our campus celebrations so successful. In the field of athletics Mr. Lawrenz was a two-year member of the varsity football squad. He finally became a member of the NClub this year as manager of the basketball team. John has enjoyed his stay at Northwestern, but he is eager to put aside all extra-curricular activities and become a full-time scholar at Mequon this fall. His tentative plans also include post-Sem graduate work in ancient and near eastern history. ALAN SIGGELKOW

DORM COUNCIL PRESIDENT

The golden age of Emperor “Sig” is over, and so are four active years in extra -curriculars. Four letter-winning years in football earned him a v- >phy, a conference championship medal and a place in the E-Club. A1 will remember his musical ef forts in two Male Cl; • ; - tours. In his Senior year he reported Sports for the Blac) : H Red. As a four year member of For um, he had parts ;; ; Christmas productions. His roommate for three years, Ton. curling, notes Al’s propensity for scratch ing while engrossed in cue of his many novels. Athletics and reading, especially history, are his chief interests. “Sig’s” popularity is won by his easy-going personality, disarming smile, and willingness to work. As Centennial D. C. prexy, he was in the thick of C'.v Centennial Committee’s planning and execution of lectures and festivities. A1 came from Wisconsin Lutheran, and he’ll go on to the Sem. His philosophy for fu ture Dorm Councils on retaining popularity while meting out discipline is, “They don’t stay mad very long!" Thiensville Wisconsin

ERHARD OPSAIIL VICE-PRESIDENT

Erhard Opsahl offers a staunch example of pure North western Studentenleben. A veteran of eight years, he has let tered three of four years in football, along with a full comple ment of intramurals: four years of basketball, baseball, volley ball. He likes tennis, bowling, and weight-lifting besides. En joying music of many varieties, he sang with the Male Chorus and Mixed Chorus four years, the Glee Club this year. He served his class as vice-president during his freshman and senior years, as president during his sophomore year; on the Dorm Council; the Black and Red this year; Tau Delta Theta and Epsilon Phi Omicron; and Forum all four years. Do North western students work all the time? No. When “Eric” can tear himself from his beloved German, he enjoys cheering for his teams: the Packers, Badgers, and Braves (?); collecting editorials; and building his library. He is not averse to the companionship of a young lady. Always smiling, he exudes exuberance. In summer he will work for Thiensville Lumber Co. again. 31

Lake Benton, Minnesota RUSSELL SCHMIDT SECRETARY-TREASURER Although Russ Schmidt, after five years at Northwestern and five summers of farm work, would prefer to be remember ed as the quiet, “unhurried rustic” of his class, the record proves otherwise. It was doubtless his friendly smile which won him a four-year term as secretary-treasurer of his class and fraternity. Russ has participated in various intramural sports and in bowling, but this year he forsook all for Duraclean, His cosmopolitan taste for just about all kinds of music survived four years of Male Chorus and one year of Mixed Chorus. When not traveling home or elsewhere in his brown and white ’58 Ford which, he says, goes like a Mustang, Russ enjoys study ing English and reading plays for relaxation. After an apprenticeship of running the spotlights for Forum, Russ appeared on stage in several memorable productions. Despite his par tisan preference for the unhurried living of Minnesota, or even for a trip to the Rockies, next fall will find Russ bunked in at Mequon.

* •• !. Norfolk, Nebraska DALLAS BECKNER The most prominent man on Northwestern’s campus is Dallas Beckner, a product of DMLC Prep. He stands 5' 19" tall. With that height Big Dal naturally has been the varsity basketball center the past four years. In that position he has been as tall as the opposing centers, but he often lacked in bulk — as much as 75 pounds. Dal is a man of many inter ests, chiefly war novels and TV. It is a rare occasion when one doesn’t see Dal sprawled over three chairs before the TV set. He conservatively estimates his viewing time at ■ hours a week. In addition. Dal has worked for Duraclean the past two years, where he specializes in cleaning ceilings without a ladder. With all these worthwhile activities, time only al lows a casual interest in studies. In fact, Dal considers as his greatest achievement the fact that he got through Northwes tern. Next year Dal will continue his campaign against low ceilings — he has broken 15 light bulbs with his head in two years — at the Seminary.

Watertown, Wisconsin JAMES BORCHARDT "Checkmate!” seems to be one of Jim Borchardt’s favorite expressions. Jim, the holder of a high national “Class-A” ra ting, captured this year’s Dormitory-Council-sponsored collegi ate chess tournament. Mr. Borchardt is not only known for his chess-playing abilities, however. He is also a dedicated Latin and German scholar. Even though Jim is a Wisconsinite, he happens to be an avid anti-Packers fan: “I don’t care who wins as long as it isn’t the Packers.” An eight-year man and a town student, Jim maintains a part time school-year and full time summer job at a local machinist shop. Besides being an ti-Packers, Mr. Borchardt is also anti-gasoline; during his N.W.C. career, he unfailingly bridged the gap between home and school with his bicycle. This year Jim became a member of the Forum Society and held down a part in “The Mouse That Roared.” Upon graduation Mr. Borchardt plans to con tinue his training in Latin and possibly German. After gradu ate school Jim would like to go into the teaching ministry. 32

West St. Paul, Minnesota JOHN BRAUN “Gee, I want you jags to get some fur out of this game!” These words recall John Braun’s greatest single contribution to Northwestern — his hilariously realistic portrayal of Coach Umnus at the Centennial Homecoming Banquet. JB spent three years on the football team in research for that performance. John’s other notable contribution has been his poetry. In his compositions he reflects his great interest in people and their problems. This past year John has put that interest to work as a Tutorino in the Prep dorm. JB, who is one of the most like able guys in his class, has been very active, except in studies during his four years at NWC. He has had many parts in For um productions and has played in every intramural season. In addition, John has adapted his favorite pastime, playing a guitar and singing, to the Male Chorus, and has gone on the past two tours. This summer JB will pick up the few credits which he lacks toward his graduation at the University of Minnesota, and then continue on to the Sem.

ROGER CONRADT Kenosha, Wisconsin The Senior with the most soberly comical public and class room image may well he Roger Conradt. Rog exceeded even his own expectations in his many appearances on the pep-rallyskit circuit. This never hindered his social life with fellow Epsilon Phi Omicrons. Although Rog was the honored secre tary of this group, there never seemed to be occasion or neces sity to take any notes Roger gave some attention to music too. In his frosh year he played a hot trumpet in the band, and lie sang with tin* mixed chorus. Rog also likes sports, playing all intramural except softball. This and occasional weight lifting keep him in trim for his summer foundry job. During the school yea: however, he held down a white-collar job at Busse’s Drugs - where he probably picked up the French accent which one hears whenever Rog gets excited about his history and German clashes. Roger prefers to study with one ear tuned in on a Beethoven symphony. With his natural pre dilections for music, study, work, and thoughtful classroom questions, Roger expects to enjoy his future years.

PERCY DAMROW Watertown, Wisconsin Percy is one of our foremost German scholars, especially since he got a head-start in German from his parents, who still speak of it Latin is one of his favorites, too. He has two extra electives in Latin to prove it. This love of languages made him a natural candidate for eight years at N.W.C., and now he is looking forward to three more years of study at the Sem. “Perce” lives just a few miles outside of Watertown and commutes everyday in a sharp little Corvair. It got him to many a night rehearsal for Male Chorus, where he sings sec ond tenor. Percy is two-for-two in chorus tours and was chos en for the Michigan and Centennial Tours. One of his fond est memories from these tours happened in Toledo —a car packed with ten girls and boys taking a tour of Toledo by night. Besides singing and helping out at home, Percival en joys hunting and wood-working. All these talents should make our man “Perce” a top-notch minister.

Kenosha, Wisconsin KENNETH EDENIIAUSER Ken, known as “Edo” to his classmates, is one of N.W.C.’s eight-year men. An easy-going humorist with a rather con spicuous laugh, he is well-liked by all his colleagues. Practical jokes are not his only interest, however, Ken also enjoys study ing German, and he keeps a close tab on current events Although Edo stayed clear of varsity sports, he demonstrated some prowess in intramurals, especially football. During the school year Ken earns his keep as a caretaker for one of the firms in town. In summer he nets his wealth at American Motors in Kenosha. Even though Edo was never a member of any Northwestern musical organization, he claims an inter est in everything from Handel to Hirt — except organ music: “It gives me a headache.” Last summer Ken and a couple of his buddies packed up and spent a few days at the World’s Fair. This year there are visions of Europe, but even if they materialize, Ken will be back by September to continue his studies at Mequon.

Bay City, Michigan HOWARD FESTERLING Happy, irrepressibly loquacious Howard “The Fowler” Festerling has added his high spirits and pungent nuns to the Northwestern life. Howard has divided his time among school, music, and Lake Mills. A member of Male Chorus and drum major in band, he likes harmony and folk music, which he per forms with a trio best. He claims ability on the witar, lute, banjo, and Jew’s harp. Athletically, he has rais- e a racket on the tennis team three years, besides taking \>:■■■■. in intra mural football and baseball and cheering for Michigan. His class predicts he will put his oral ability to good ,'.se as a minister. They say he’s a good man to have ai\ ^ — which is seldom on weekends. His “Jig Rig" has suffice, ; get Jiim back to classes in the interim between visits to ; kc Mills. Howard’s experience facilitated his able service on the car committee. Not neglecting literary activities, he played major parts in Hidden River and The Mouse That Roared in Forum. He plans to work for Lakehead Pipeline Co. again this summer and begin at Mequon in fall.

Algoma, Wisconsin ARTHUR FRENZ Arthur H., alias “Arch”, alias “Pidge”, Frenz is one fel low who seems to be able to get along with almost everyone. He’s always ready to help when help is needed for any campus project. The excellent set of this year’s Forum final was the work of Arch. A graduate of Northwestern Prep, Arthur has been a Forum member through his college years. Besides do ing set work, he put on his own Christmas Forum in 19S3. The production used only silhouettes and was the first of its kind at Northwestern. Arthur says that Northwestern’s Modern Drama course gave him an interest in the subject and that, if he ever gets the chance, he would like to do some post graduate study in this field. Arthur sang in Male Chorus for four years, two of which he served as vice-president, and in Mixed Chorus for two years. Arch has also been an “intra mural man”, taking part in football, basketball, and bowling. Next fall, if the sun is out, the men up on Seminary hill should be able to see Arch coming their way. 34

Poynette, Wisconsin GAYLORD GARTMAN Gay seems to believe in the well-rounded man. He has been active in school, but not so much that he has stepped from the world around Watertown. Gay did not actively par ticipate in any varsity athletics, but did become an “N” Club member as football manager. Intramural-wise, he played on two championship football teams and bowled for four years in the school league. Gay probably knows more about make up for plays than anyone else on campus. He often served as Forum’s make-up man and has left behind for his succes sors a forty-five page treatise on the subject. Gay supple ments his Northwestern education with extensive reading, es pecially in the drama field. For quite a while Gay has been an avid sports car fan. He often attends “Road America” races at Elkhart Lake and even races his own cars — on a 1/32 scale. On weekends Gay often checks out his “tank” (a ’48 Buick) for New Ulm. Gay holds one class record of in terest: he has been engaged for three years. After eight years at Northwestern he will spend another summer as a starter at Peninsula Park Golf Course and then head for Mequon.

Watertown, Wisconsin PHILIP GEIGER Nearly every morning about two minutes before eight, one can see Phil dashing the half block up Western Avenue that separates his home from the campus. During his eight years as a town student, Phil has gained a reputation for being one of the class greases, although he insists that he doesn’t study much. Latin has alvm . been his favorite subject. Greek with Prof. Schumann has made him a devote Greek student. In class Phil is quiet and serious, except when his agitated "Ya, Ya’s" punctuate n. vvers. For exercise Phil turns to running — about a mi!;* : day — and bike riding, although he has also tried out for '..c munis team. Plinking around on a piano, reading fiction, p. ing chess, and entertaining a certain red-headed ward parent a; Bethesda are his other pastimes. During the school year ■»..• t summer he works off and on at the A. and P. Next year Pin- will confine his running to the Sem Quadrangle.

Mequon, Wisconsin MARK GOEGLEIN On June 3 Mark will have completed an eight-year term at Northwestern. Mark was an active athlete with intramural competition, two years of golf, and four years of football to his credit. His surprising speed earned him the distinction of being the biggest running guard Northwestern has had in quite some time. Mark has had a somewhat checkered aca demic career, for despite the claims of his classmates that no one has ever caught him in any act remotely resembling study, he has carried a good scholastic average through four years. Science was his favorite subject, but his greatest glory came in Greek, in which he performed the unprecedented feat of going from an F to an A in two successive quarters of Frosh Greek in two different years. To the great distress of all the local girls, shy, quiet Mark has reserved his loyalty for Epsi lon Phi Omicron. Although he qualified to teach English for the Peace Corps in Turkey, Mark has elected to continue his stu dies at the Sem in Mequon.

Kaukauna, Wisconsin DAVID GOSDECK “The classics are withering on the vine,” warns Dave Gosdeck, and he should know, since his Northwestern years have been dedicated to scholastic pursuits. He has taken every Greek and Latin course he could get. His success in these pursuits is proven by the fact that he has been selected to give the German oration at Graduation. Gos also enjoys the as cetic pleasures of life, such as classical music, bike rides, and cards. He secretly delights in singing while accompanying himself on the piano and in listening to his collection of records from the 20’s. Nor does he let his acid cynicism get out of practice. Especially this past year, Dave has held several important offices, including treasurer for the Dorm Council and Centennial Committee and Assistant Editor of the Black and Red, where his enthusiastic criticism of style enlivened many meetings. In keeping with his scholarly life, Gos has al so served as librarian the past three years. Next year Dave will build on his scholastic foundation at the Sem.

Watertown, Wisconsin FRED GRUNEWALD Although Fred Grunewald is an eight-year man. Northwes tern has never really become a part of him, since he is a town student. Most of his friends and interests are still drawn from the outside world. For him Northwestern has been for the most part a place to get an education. And he has gladly taken ad vantage of that aspect of our college and done good work. He especially has enjoyed the English courses. In classes, how ever, Fred has left his mark. He has always been very out spoken and willing to argue with anyone about something which he considers right, such as good conservative Republicanism. Fred also has earned the distinction of always being the last one to hand in term papers, although he spoiled that record in his last months. Outside of classes, Fred’s life revolves around his job at the A & P, where he has worked five years, and around his girl, to whom he has been engaged for a year. Next year at long last Fred will get a taste of dorm life when he moves on to the Seminary.

Fond du Lac, Wisconsin KEITH HABERKORN Keith in his own unobtrusive way has in the last four years given untiring assistance to his class’s many undertakings. And especially in this Centennial year he has aided his class in their carrying out of projects which contributed to the com memoration of our school’s Centennial. After prepping at Win nebago Lutheran Academy, Keith has here been a member of Forum for the last three years. A person who enjoys reading dramas, he has supervised the writing of the vignettes or skits to be presented on Centennial Day. This spring he had a minor part in Forum’s final production, “The Mouse That Roared.’8 He has been a member of the infamous second tenor section of Male Chorus for two years. His last two Easter vacations have been spent on tour with the Male Chorus. When not hard at study Keith works at keeping up his stamp collection or tries his hand at poetry. Following a summer of work and leisure in Milwaukee, he plans to attend the Seminary at Mequon.

Green Lake, Wisconsin MARK HALLEMEYER The quiet, easy-going man who lives in the pigeon loft of the Prep Dorm is Mark Hallemeyer. “Tutorino Halle” has shown his versatility in music and athletics. During his four years in chorus, he saw a better part of the Synod on three tours. Mark played a year each of football and basketball, and four solid years at second base for the baseball team. His sound judgment earned him the president’s post on the athletic board. No matter what the intramural sport, Halle is in the thick of the fray. Forum also claimed his attention for two years. Sports would have to rank as his number one interest, from referee ing to golf and swimming. He’s a cinch to be in the front row of the TV room when the Packers or Badgers are playing. Mark has a ’58 Ford he’s proud of; that is, when his sister hasn’t got it. Halle operated the foam-o-meter for DermaDirty in his spare time. A former Prep, Mark heads next for the Sem.

DENNIS HAYES Lincoln, Michigan Third floor central is the home of Dennis Hayes, a scholar ly bus driver with the occasional gift of gab. His built-in alarm clock never fails to waken him every morning for a day of chauffering and studies Hebrew is his favorite class “because it is different," with Church Latin running a close second. Al though Dennis has not had time for sports other than card playing, he likes to v.aid) pro football games when not indulg ing in his favorite h reading the works of Thomas Hardy and Russian novel'.;; Dennis was a member of the Male Chorus for four of hi.-, live years at Northwestern. He majored in set construction a w aiming during three years as a mem ber of Forum. Alt?.;*-a.;.' Dennis says that getting through Ger E « * accomplishment at NWC, his three man has been his AAL scholarships a. . more indicative of his scholastic ability. Like his roommate. .Dennis is engaged and plans to tie the knot in Sheboygan •;< his first year at Meauon.

« HAROLD HOEPPNER Mukwonago, Wisconsin Five years ago Harold entered Northwestern as a remedial. During his stay at Northwestern he has proved to be faithful to his studies, and he has taken a special interest in Latin. He received AAL scholarships two years. His name is included in the Forum record books. He comes from a family of out door-men and spends much time camping and fly-fishing. Among his classmates, Harold must hold the best record of week ends away — he usually manages to stay at school two week ends a year. Everyone on campus has seen him with a pretty miss by the name of Karen, who, no doubt, has been no small reason for his aiming his Plymouth (“the Pink Lemon”) east every Saturday. For the last few summers Harold has worked as a house painter, a job he describes as rather lucrative but also rather dangerous. Harold plans on entering the ministry.

Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin LYLE LANGE “Your grandfather was Lange, your father was Lange, you might as well be Lange, too — Hmmmmph.” Lyle comes from a long line of ministers and plans to follow in their footsteps. In preparation for this, he has spent eight years at N.W.C. Scholastically, he has always been a “brain.” Languages give him no trouble, but as for math — he feels as if he’s been in a wind storm. Music has played a big part in his stay here — four years of Male Chorus, five of Band, and three of organ. He admits that he will never be a great concert organist, but then, “Who wants to be?” In Soph he received an A. A. L. scholarship to help pay the bills. Since then a year-round job at Duraclean has provided the cash. This year he officially became foreman of the company. Besides all this, the “man with the hat" has found time to become engaged. Next year “Lange” will turn his talents loose at the Sem.

Delano, Minnesota MARK LENZ No member of the Senior class has so dominated a par ticular field of activity as Mark has that of music. There re mains little in the way of music that Mark cannot lay claim to. Although an accomplished pianist already at New Ulm, it was not until his Sophomore year of college that he took up playing the organ. Since that time, he has achieved master ful skill on the organ, as he demonstrated in a recceL recital. On tour with the Male Chorus three years, he has i ; • been the tour’s concert organist, and this year he doubled his duty as the Chorus president. Mark also has added to the of his accomplishments a year with the College Quartet, two years with the Glee Club, and has directed the choirs of ■ o area congregations. His fine vocal talents became quite evident to all through his lead role in last year’s musical production, “Brigadoon.” About the only thing musical Mark regrets fail ure at is finding WRIT on his radio dial. Come fall he will take up residence in Mequon.

OLIVER LINDHOLM Delano, Minnesota A real personality is Oliver Lindholm. You may recognize him by the pitch of his voice, the multiplicity of color in his wardrobe, or his effervescent sense of humor. Ollie came from Concordia, St. Paul, and he is not about to let you forget about Minnesota, from the Vikings to the weather. Sports are his chief interest; in fact, lie’s the class authority on athletics. Three years of varsity tennis and the perennial captaincy of intra-mural teams have kept his wiry frame in shape. Ollie is the fastest thing on two feet since roadrunners. He’s also a WIAA official. When he’s not playing practical jokes or telling tall tales, some type of card game has probably caught his at tention. A big ’59 Plymouth and a reputation for square-shoot ing won him a place on the car committee. During the summer Ollie fights fires, but Ace Hardware is as strenuous as his school job has been. The Sem will find that it’s not hard to please Ollie. His advice to those who follow: “Studying is not the beall or the end-all."

La Crosse, Wisconsin LEE LOGING Lee is one of the first graduates of Lutheran High in Onalaska to attend Northwestern College. Although he is a shy, quiet guy who does not readily mix with those outside his small circle of friends, his ability to adapt himself quickly to the ways of others makes him one of the easiest fellows in the dorm to get along with. The inhabitants of third floor would quickly agree that Lee has kept the imperturbable tempera ment which he developed from a boyhood spent on the family farm near La Crosse. No disturbance seems to be capable of shaking his composure. Much to the envy of his classmates, Latin is as easy as falling off a log for Lee and has remained his chief academic interest. He was able to put his many hours of pool-playing experience to good use this year as chairman of the clubroom committee. While he was at Northwestern, Lee was very active in the Watertown Curtain Club and appear ed in Under the Sycamore Tree and other productions. At pre sent Lee is undecided about his future

DAVID LUETKE Nicollet, Minnesota The door of his abode displays the mystical Eastern device, "The Geisha House of Lu Chang Welcomes You." The proprie tor, known to Westerners as David Luetke, is the amiable num ber one son of Nicollet, Minnesota, who retains his avid loyal ties for Minnesota teams, especially the Vikings. Here at North western the tennis to. mi has profited from his three years’ par ticipation. Scholastically he has maintained a gentleman’s average with Greek •md Hebrew as preferences. Though mo dest and good-natured, he enjoys defending his strong convic tions in discussions, on any topic. Classmates distinguish his high-pitched, staccai.; laugh at a distance; they consider him their budding ansv. Mao Tse-Tung. Pet peeves are spend ing money and his • • ..mate's guitar playing. He likes play ing chess and cards. \ aried reading, and folk music. In the final analysis he finds social relationships with girls quite ac ceptable. At school nc lias worked for A & P and Fin and Tail; this summer he will push a pencil for Jolly Green Giant. In fall his "Teahouse of the August Moon’” shifts residence to Mequon.

Mason City, Iowa LEROY MARTIN Nearly half of Le Roy’s college career has been spent wav ing a baton. Actually, his instrumental career began eight years ago, and he has from that time continued to be a promi nent member of the clarinet section of the band. Two years ago he took up the baton when he became the director of the beginner’s band. Since that time he has conducted the concert band, as student director, in a number of concert program pieces. And if this is not enough, the pep band for the last two years has also been under LeRoy’s direction. The group under him adopted a bright, lively sound, and played for prac tically every home basketball game. LeRoy recalls many an occasion when the band outnumbered the spectators in attend ance. A host of other activities have occupied his attention, in cluding membership in the Male Chorus and the positions of vice-president of Forum and president of the Lecture Series. This mild-mannered fellow, who foresees a good deal of com muting to New Ulm, will make Mequon his student residence next year.

Lake Benton, Minnesota DAVID MEYER Dave Meyer is one of those lucky people who always seem to be in the right place at the time. In five years at Northwes tern, he has not missed a single class for sickness or sacking out. Since he attributes this to “Honest Living,” Mequon will be glad to have him next fall. It is more probable, however, that Dave’s morning custodianship at the Washington Hotel and his evening bus run keep him on the ball. He also admits shoveling snow and mowing lawns for two professors. These activities finance regular dates and an eventual Dart. Although Dave has not done much for sports, he has gone on two trips with the Male Chorus and has devoted some time to piano practice. David and his mentor, Dennis Hayes, are often con fused. It is uncertain which one studies more, Dave prefers to work with the Biblical languages. This next summer will find him working hard, as usual, on his country estate.

Toledo, Ohio ROBERT NESS When Bob first came to Northwestern, he looked like any average Michigan Sem graduate. Then came the when! germs, the exercising equipment, and the weights. . . and the nick name “Arms.” With a build like that, he had no trouble mak ing the football squad, on which he played defensive end and halfback four years. Two letters in football earned liiii. :i membersliip in the "N” Club. The highest point of his career at N.W.C. came when he was finally elected to public office — secretary of Epsilon Phi Omicron. Just what that i no one is quite sure. It seems to be a secret fraternal 01 . nization that used to hold meetings at the dinner table before -e cafe teria system came in. To his classmates, Bob is tin kind of guy who will tell you to your face if anything gripes him. His brand of independence, loyalty, and levelheadedness make him a good man to have on any team.

CARL OTTO Denmark, Wisconsin One of the living legends on campus is Carl Otto. His much-maligned name and lean, hard body have survived at least fifty birthdays each year. Carl is the college scapegoat and a collector of pseudonyms — and he loves it. He’s Mr. Popularity because of his broad sense of humor and gullible good will. “Otts” has been active in athletics and music. For four years he backed up the middle of Umnus’ line with reck less abandon. He has spent four years in Male Chorus, Mixed Chorus, and Glee Club. Carl directed the Centennial edition of the Glee Club, whose members affectionately call him “Teach er.” Forum, N-Club, and the chapel organ have also made de mands on his time. Each weekend the ultra-conservative blushingly heads for Barbie’s house in Mequon with whatever car he can find. Carl will be selling beverages this summer in Mil waukee to help H.F.C. finance a car. After an eight-year tour of duty here, Carl will follow brother Paul to the Sem, which awaits him with open arms.

KARL PETERSON St. James, Minnesota Karl is Mr. Forum on campus. This year he was the presi dent of Forum and the director of The Mouse That Roared, Forum’s final production. Previously Karl acted in several Forum final productions and also directed the memorable Christmas Carol. He was an advisor for Rostra and directed its final production, Here Comes Charley, last year. The Black and Red also claimed Karl’s talents during the last three years, as Sports Editor, and then as an Assistant Editor. His bass voice won him a position in the Male Chorus, the Mixed Chorus, and the Glee Club, and this year, as tour director, he had the job of arranging the Easter chorus tour. Intramural sports and tennis are other interests of this well-rounded and well-organized product of D.M.L.C.H.S. When he isn’t terrify ing the other occupants of the wash room as he sings in the shower, Karl likes to read plays, study Latin, and preach the need for speech courses at Northwestern. Come September this confirmed bachelor (until she comes along) will take it easy at the Sem.

TOM SCHMIDT Franklin, Wisconsin Tom is perhaps one of those Seniors who could be called somewhat interested in physical fitness, finding time for a hundred push-ups once every two weeks. Tom is a physical fitness nut more by necessity than desire: he needs musclepower to shove his ear wherever he wants to go. Although his Simca is nearly a campus joke, Tom loyally sticks by it, proudly describing ii a 3‘. door 1959 model with “occasional” muscle gained from car-shoving in cylinders. Tom usohis position as Chief '-dvisor to Coach Umnus’ wrestling squad and in intramural ball, softball, and volleyball. Time left from these activities ’ d voted to hard work: practicing piano. Tom counts as one • bis great NWC achievements his grow ing bald soot caused by overwork. Though Tom now leaves after eight years, i amilv name will remain on campus in the person of his broJ er, a future sextaner. After a summer divided between brewery work and pursuing specialized studies in summer school, Tm: plans to attend the Sem, if his Simca will take him.

Blomkest, Minnesota GERALD SCIIROER Since he spent his high school years in New Ulm, Sandy is naturally afflicted with that peculiar disease common to all Minnesotans known as Viking fanaticism. He participated in all intramurals and one year of varsity golf, but “the Butcher’s” athletic fame rests largely on the recollections of basketballfloor brutality lodged in the memories of his classmates. As a member of the Forum Society, he was featured as Marley’s Ghost in the production of A Christmas Carol. He put his musical talents to good use in the Male Chorus and the Richwood Choir, and his arrangement of “Railroad Bill,” as found in The Sandy Shores Folk Anthology, is already considered one of the classics in Northwestern’s musical treasury. The highlight of his academic career occurred in Room 14 on April 1, when a quick half-hour nap moved him into the lead in a close race for the ‘Senior’s coveted Classroom Sacktime Award. The card-playing marathons in Room 220 paid off when he and OUie Lindholm won the dorm’s first cribbage tournament this spring. Sandy plans to rejoin the group at the Sem this fall. 41

La Habra, California DAVID SEAGER At the time of this writing Dave hails from La Habra, but whether this will still be true when this goes to press is not guaranteed. Dave’s home address has shifted from his birthplace, St. Louis, through Texas and the Southwest into California. Because of his eight-year stay at Northwestern, he missed much of the trouble of moving. During that stay Dave has devoted himself to football, lettering all four of his college years as a guard, end, and defensive specialist. He also gave time to basketball as a WIAA referee and as “N” Club president in charge of the Grade School Tournament. His fellow Seniors joke about some of Dave’s quirks — he plays cribbage by himself when he can’t find a partner and has a habit of rubbing his hair when frustrated or nervous. They mock his mild Texas accent with “he was barn in a born” and other phrases. Dave enjoys two hobbies: hunting and Otto. He plans to head for a roofing job in Mequon at the close of school and from there to the Sem.

Brillion, Wisconsin PAUL STUEBS Not one to sport a serious mien for any length of time, Paul remains a master of an alert wit and a quick tongue in and outside of the classroom. Unfortunately, a good share of his most interesting and provocative statements have gone unnoticed by professors. Although he held down a r<v;nlar job during the school year, this did not in any way hinder his scholastic standing, and he was deservedly given the English Oration. An N-Club membership and four years on Mi: varsity football team give evidence of his athletic prowess. ' o years in the Mixed Chorus furnished Paul with an abundance of source material for his one-line quips. Male Chorus, Glee Club, and Forum round out the list of his campus activity . Sum mer for Paul is a time of water skiing, fishing, and canoeing on the waters of the Manitowoc River. Summer also means construction work and a chance to pay off the debt on his ’63 Plymouth. After an eight-year tenure at Northwestern, Paul is looking forward to the change in scene that the campus in Mequon offers.

RICHARD WARNKE Appleton, Wisconsin Dick, the son of Appleton Lutheran High School’s principal, holds quite a distinction. He is the only Northwestern student ever to have run for public office while still attending school. Last year he entered the race for assemblyman back home, but due to “lack of time” for campaigning he dropped out — a fact which he now regrets, since his chances were rather good. As many of the members of his class, Dick has an ac tive interest in drama and tries to see as many “good” plays as possible. But if it ever came to a showdown between seeing a good play and a Packer game, I think Dick would choose the latter. For the past fifteen years he has attended at least one game every season. This summer Dick will hop in his Rambler and return to his job as cook in a canning factory. Richard plans to follow in his father’s footsteps and enter the ministry.

Watertown, Wisconsin JULIUS WILLE Wille likes to think of himself as a pure student, as one of that rare breed of students that don’t engage in the traditional extra-curricular collegiate activities of sports, music, and girl chasing. For since he is thirty-three, he is over the hump for sports; he can’t sing; and his wife doesn’t let him chase girls. Besides, Wille is a dignified family man, with three children, who range in age from eight to twelve. After attending North western for a year, following his graduation from Northwes tern Prep in 1949, Wille left school and in turn farmed and did factory work. In 1962 he returned to Northwestern. Study ing has always been his favorite and customary pastime, with languages and religion his favorite subjects. He particularly enjoyed his Sophomore Greek course, since he had his former classmate, Prof. Panning, as his teacher. Bull sessions and driving a school bus occupy much of the rest of his free time After a summer of factory work, Wille will pile his family into his VW and move to the Sem.

ROGER WOLLER Merrill, Wisconsin Our man from Merrill, Rog Woller, deserted the stumps of his back forty to spend eight years at Northwestern en route to Mequon. Anyone who encvunlered him on the intramural football field knows that as vic e-president of the Dormitory Council he let nothing stand in ;iie way of progress. Rog likes a clean room, an organized li.'e and the more maps of places to go the better. He appro< v s good music and is happy that he had time to bolster the v,.-•■ section of St. Mark’s choir in Richwood. When not “mcss'i v around” with electronics, Rog does odd jobs in town and sou . catering — doubtless in antici pation of that car he is still vailing to see. Roger is loyal to his school and girl back home, and he says that he especially enjoyed science and being a eo.r in the wheel” of the Centen nial Committee. Roger agrees with his roommate, Mark Lenz, that graduating from NWC will be one of his major accom plishments to date.

Benton Harbor, Michigan THOMAS ZARLING Like most guys from Michigan Sem., Tom is an avid sports fan. During his four years as end for the football team, he earned three letters which now (along with Siggy’s) decorate his wall. Three years of baseball and one of basketball are his contributions to the major sports. When he isn’t playing for the varsity, he’s on one of the intramural teams — basket ball, softball, or volleyball. On the side he bowls about a 155 average and finds time for golf, too. This year Tom served on the Athletic Board and even put on the striped shirt to ref a few games. In music the “Bird” bolstered a sagging tenor section for two years and went on tour last year with the Male Chorus. In the classroom he most enjoyed the study of history. He tried Forum for a year but dropped it after he got sick of pulling curtains. Tom has a knack for blending with people, and that makes him a prime candidate to follow in his father’s footsteps. Next year he will continue his studies at the Sem.

Van Dyne, Wisconsin JOHN ZICKUHR Four years ago Northwestern gained a froggy bass voice from Fox Valley Lutheran by the name of John Zickuhr. Since then John has spent most of his time in musical activities, car rying the low bass pitches in Mixed Chorus, Male Chorus, and Glee Club. His talents proved especially helpful this year on tour, since he was perhaps the only bass able to sing the fourth stanza melody of “0 Savior Burst the Heavenly Bound” with authority. John also enjoys harmony and playing the organ for chapel — although this requires that he awaken before 7:50 on Mondays, which cuts short another favorite pastime, sleep. The time which is not devoted to music or sleeping John spends piloting his flying Duraclean truck between jobs. Although lie never participated in sports here at NWC, John jokingly claims that he keeps in shape by smoking his pipe and chasing girls. After a summer of Duraclean and ‘‘enjoying life so he won’t regret not doing so later,” John will head for Mequon.

La Crosse, Wisconsin RAYMOND ZIEBELL “Zeke” is one of the old men of the class and the oldest bachelor on campus, having reached the advanced age of twenty-eight. Since his graduation from high school in 1955, he has led a varied life. For a year he attended the College of Commerce in LaCrosse, and then he became a stock-room manager in a La Crosse store. In 1959 he joined the army re serve and served for six months. He received his honorable discharge this year. During his five-year remedial course, Zeke has become known for his vast stock of pills, his jimmy” collection, and his devotion to roller skating. Sever-.; years ago he won first place in couples’ dance roller skating in a contest for the championship of the upper Midwest, and since then he skates at every opportunity. Zeke does factory work during the summer and then switches to amateur barbering during the school year. This good-natured and congenial bar ber will do his hair cutting at the Sem next year.

Class Colors: Magenta and white N. B. The color magenta was first so named in the year 1865, hence the significance in a Centennial year.

Class Motto: “Telos dorea thelematos” N. B. Free translation would be “Re sults are a gift of desire.”

ON LEAVING IV As sons of man we need not guess, We know not only a heap of broken ima ges. But we have found shade under the red rock. We have the roots that clutch and draw water. The rock was dripping wet with holy blood. Living roots have entwined the rock to itself.

I Now gone, that empty word Tells us the often filled glass is dry. Our echoes have faded away, The tables are set for new guests. Now joyful memories will creep on minds; The sound of youthful music will haunt II Cheer for old Northwestern! Cheer that the days are all over! No more will we walk narrow halls! We are finished with bachelor credits! Running forth with joyful upraised arms We will trade your violins for batons.

Cheer for old Northwestern! Here we have been sometime! Hail to thee Northwestern! Our time at your gates is gone. We will no more sit at your feet. The hour glass must be turned.

III Mount, and let us be gone outside. Mount the steed you stabled here. We left him here, a nag with ribs showing. The steed goes to the long winding road. Seeking our destination we leave the stable With part of it stuck in our throats.

is,

campus and classroom When speeches are ’most over And Seniors, set to go. Relate their epic exploits Tinged by that afterglow. One wonders and inquires: "Now, was it really so?" Another school year is just about finished, and another Senior class is packing away tennis rackets, golf clubs, and occasional books to hit the dusty trail home. (For Lu Chang it should be quite a trip.) It took the Seniors some time to decide that instead of leaving Northwestern a new gym, or a concrete arch with their let ters—Tau Delta Theta in blazing neon, or Otto's pitch pipe, that instead they would just leave. This has been the wise decision of all their predecessors. This class of '65, how. . was of a different ilk in one respect: the\ .-a use of their typi cal foresight) were lh< { ( utennial Class of NWC. With this in min i they decided to get along entirely without pud - lest they turn out to be jerks. They had the tiger by the tail and had no choice but to go gung ho. I was hunting around the dorm one morn ing for concrete evidence of the Seniors’ ac complishments, when 1 ran into Tutor Zchms. Now, you must understand that whenever I’m mulling over the odd things that happen at Northwestern, then a smile or even a grin plays over my beamish countenance. So I grinned at him, and he naturally asked me what devil ment 1 was up to now. 1 replied, soberly, that some crazy things happen at Northwestern, and that if lie really wanted to get at the kernel of die matter, he should keep on playing "I Spy” with this column in mind. My other spies had failed me — reporting only the common rumors: that after semester tests our rusty dusty ar chives will at last be dated; that coeds won’t: and Uiat “Argass" Zchms (not Tutor) and his Drill Team is planning to march on Washing ton — so I ran a quick check on the dorm my self and noted the following: 1. There are as many pictures of girls on desks as there are hi-fi’s in rooms. 2. Rooms with tropical fish have no pictures of girls. 3. Rooms with African war drums, alliga tors, or Venus's-fly traps have no tropical fish. 57

I looked this all up in the J.T.I.J.B. (Just 'I'ry It Joke Book) which I found lying in the dust under D. Gosdeck’s bed, and drew the per fectly obvious conclusion that the average Sen ior with the average receding hairline works best while barricaded behind locked doors with other Seniors. I ran into one of Uiese Senior sessions while running .the aforementioned check. They had given up Hebrew, realizing that it was too late to do anything about what they knew diey did n’t and they were engaged in an animated dis cussion dedicated partly to the composition of a Senior Poem. A class just can’t graduate with out one: it’s not traditional. As all scholars with a fine liberal, classical education are well aware, the account of this lively conference must needs lapse into the historical present tense. SYMPOSIUM

The second-floor room is filled with its full after-dinner complement. A voice echoes thru the smoke haze. “And why not sarsaparilla? They can’t ex pect people to drink today’s pop all day! Bratwurst, speeches, singing and marching around all day — even Xenophon had more sense than “But John, wasn’t last night enough?" “Sure, Al, and warm too. Before we left, I was even feeling a little flushed!” "How about sheepshead, Mark?” "No, we just played yesterday. Besides, I just got done playing Bach. He always loses." “No lie! Say Carl, how’s the poem?" “Not so good. What rhymes with snooze? The days we long to lose To cards and Bourbon Blues IVc lose to Greek instead And —” “Hey! What about snooze?" "I don’t care. And cram while sacked in Bed.” “Polish it up. This is Tau Delta Theta stuff, Carl.” “You mean, Schmitti. like your date last night? At least my car starts." "Gentlemen! !” "Yes, John?" "No cuts, please. Remember Shakespeare: ‘Dull is the jester when the joke is unkind.’ Oh, you don’t. Then Carl, perhaps..." "We used to be quite dumb When zoc knew only one Gespraech — but man alive: Noiv we are dumb in five!’’ “Good. And here’s the Duragrit grave shift back. Hi!" “Ho, yourself, Wollers. Just strip our gears and call us shiftless!" “That’s hardly new. . . but then maybe one would go crazy if he were sane all the time."

The long-overdue Arbor Day holiday fell on Thursday, April 29. Not too many students were surprised, for it had been predicted for every day that week.

° During the intermission of the Spring Con cert, Mr. Gerald Herzfcldt, Director of Fra ternal affairs for the Aid Association for Luth erans. presented Northwestern with a Centen nial gift from the Association.

FORUM FINAL PRODUCTION

Forum presented its final production, “The Mouse That Roared,” on Saturday and Sunday, May 8 and 9. The cast, under the able direc tion of Karl Peterson, managed to bring across the humor and satire of the play to the audi ences. Forrest Bivens played the role of the slightly dull, but honest and loyal, woodsman to perfection. All his gestures and facial ex pressions fit the part and were greeted with laughter. John Trapp portrayed the scientistprofessor so authentically that some outsiders thought he was too old to be a student. Marty Stuebs convulsed the audience as a loud, irri table general. Fred Toppe, though he only had the minor role of Will Tatum, still managed to get there audience laughing at him when ever he appeared on stage. The rest of the cast, including Renee Urban. Howard Festerling, Dave Dolan, and many others, helped to make the play truly enjoyable. Arthur Frcnz’s set complemented the action and added much to the play, as did the make-up of Gaylord Gartman.

George Williams’ 4-1 win in die second game was more of die same. The Trojans’ lone run of die day came when Schwartz scored on Kobleske’s ground out. The game came to a fitting conclusion with a runner being thrown out at the pla'tc.

BASEBALL

Rockford Northwestern edged Rockford 3-2 ito pick up its second win of the season. Bartholamay lim ited the Trojans to three infield hits, but his own errors and wildness helped us score three unearned runs. Plitzuweit went 8 % innings and gave up only six scattered hits and two un earned runs. Kobleske was credited with two of the three Trojan hits. NWC - 3. 3, 3; Rock ford - 2, 6, 5.

Milton The Trojans journeyed to Milton for the season's opener, but were dealt a 5-2 loss by the Wildcats. We trailed all die way as Milton scored 3 runs in the first and 2 in the third to take a 5-0 lead. Kelm was die starting pitcher, and Cullen did a fine job in relief, pitching hitless ball over the last diree innings. Everts and Kelm led the Trojan batsmen with two hits apiece. NWC-2 runs, 6 hits, 4 errors; Milton - 5,10,1.

>•

Ripon Despite dieir best offensive output of the year, the Trojans failed to keep pace with Ripon and suffered a 13-10 loss. Ripon had a 9-10 lead until we scored 5 runs in the fifth. Singles by Schroeder and Schwartz brought home three of the runs. We added a single run in the seventh. I-Iahm’s double was the big hit in a 4 run outburst in the eighth, but it was too little and too late. Ripon had as sured their win with 4 runs in the top of the inning. Schwartz paced the Trojan attack with three hits. NWC -10, 9, 5; Ripon - 13. 14,2.

Sem Northwestern picked up its first win of the season, outlasting the Sem for an 8-7 victory. Sem took an early lead, scoring 6 runs in the first three innings, but the Trojans came back on a pair of two-run homers by Sdiwartz and Plitzuweit and went ahead to stay with 5 un earned runs in the sixth. Plitzuweit came in to pitch five strong innings and pick up the win. NWC-8,8,4; Sem-7,10,4.

Lakeland The Huskies stopped the Trojans in both ends of a double header, 6-3 and 3-2. Lakeland scored single runs in the first, third, and fourdi but the Trojans stayed in die game when Schroeder singled in the diird and scored on two errors, and Kelm doubled Conradt home in die fourth. Lakeland put away the game with 3 runs in the sixth. Evert’s double brought in die last Trogan run in the eighth. NWC-3,5,2; Lakeland-6,13,6. The second game developed into a tight pitching duel between NWC’s Cullen and Lake land's Shuler. The Muskies scored twice in die bottom of the sixth to take a 3-0 lead, but die Trojans rallied when Everts doubled and Paul Kelm’s single went dirough die leftfielder’s legs for a homerun. Shuler, however, ended the direat by striking out die next two men to run his total for die game to 13. NWC-2,3,0; Lakeland - 3,5,2.

U. I. C. In the first game U. I.C. moved to an early lead and held on for a 7-4 victory. After they had scored seven runs in the first two innings. Kobleske shut them out the rest of the way. We scored twice in the sixth on two singles, a walk, and a sacrifice. Schwartz’s two-run homer in the seventh, which was his third hit of the day, concluded the scoring. NWC-4, 8,0; UIC 7. 7, 1. The Chikas routed die Trojans 23-6 in the second game. Schwartz doubled, Halim walked and Everts homered to give us a 3-0 lead, but dien we collapsed completely. 15 walks, 5 Tro jan errors, and 3 home runs brought in the tide of Chika runs that swamped us. Five pitchers attempted to check die flood with little or no success. NWC - 6,8,5; UIC - 23,11, 1.

George Williams The Trojans’ Chicago trip had something for everybody. George Williams got two vic tories, die spectators got Kobleske’s glove and Plitzuweit’s bat, the police got dieir man, and we got lots of fresh air and sunshine. Enser’s lead-off triple was our only hit in the first game, as George Williams went on to take a 5-0 victor)' in a radier sloppy game, which was marked by mental lapses and careless base run ning by both teams. Plitzuweit started and took die loss.

Summary The team’s record is 2-8 with the results of diree games not yet in. Six of -die eight losses were by diree runs or less. In our first seven games we lacked hitting and scored less than diree runs a game, while our opponents were averaging about .five runs a game. In -die next three games we began to hit and scored about seven runs a game, but our pitching staff was crippled with aches and injuries, and our opponents’ scoring soared to fourteen runs per game. 62

Milton Milton’s powerful team trounced the Tro jans for the second time this season, 16%-!%. Schmidt’s 82 was low for NWC. Lambert and Hopf scored our only points.

Our golf matches are scored as follows. Each of the six men on the team competes with one man from the opposing team •! 3 points. One point goes to whichever mao wins the most holes on the first nine; another to the winner of 'the most holes on the second nine. The man with the fewest strokes or the whole 18 wins the third point. Whem -or they tie. they split the point.

Summary In its first season of competition, the golf team has compiled a 1-4 record with two match es still to be played. Recent matches show signs of better things to come. Three Freshmen have earned starting positions and filled them very capably. Jim Schmidt and Steve Klatt have regularly turned in the best scores. Klatt is the leading point winner with 7. Schmidt and John Trapp are second at 5'^. Coach Zell will have six returning regulars to work with next year, five of them underclassmen. Chances for improvement should be good.

Milton The Trojans’ first appearance on the golf course brought them little more than experi ence, as they received an 18-0 beating at the hands of Milton. Klatt was our low man with an 83. M. I. T. Northwestern broke into the scoring col umn against M. I. T., but still went down, 12% -5%. Steve Klatt and Jim Schmidt were co-medalists for the Trojans with 86’s. and won 3 and 2% points respectively.

TENNIS Milton

Lakeland The Muskies barely escaped being the first 1 rojan victims, but managed to gain a 10-8 vic tory. Jim Schmidt set a new low for the Tro jans with a 78. Our scoring was as follows: Schmidt -1%, Klatt - 3, Trapp - 2%, Zarling - 1. Lakeland The Muskies were not so fortunate the sec ond time. The Trojans took a close 9Vi - 8’% decision to bring home our first intercollegiate golf victor)'. Schmidt was again our low man with an 84. The following men scored points: T rapp-3, Goeglein-2, Lambert-2, Schmidt1%, Klatt -1.

Milton also spoiled die Trojans’ tennis opener with a 6-3 victory at Milton, We got off to a fast start winning four out of die first six sets but were unable to keep going. Anderson ended up the only singles winner. Northwestern's other points were picked up by the Kirschke-Anderson and Lindholm-Luetke dou bles teams. M. I. T. M. I. T. routed die Trojans 8-1, but a Kir schke-Anderson win in die doubles prevented a shutout. M. I.T. would have swept all die singles in two sets, if Clarey had not won a sin gle set. 63

record he is shaping, the skills he is ac quiring, will decide his position, his sal ary, the measure of his success in one short year. The situation isn’t that critical for this Senior. His time is not that im mediate. The years begin to run together without distinction. It becomes difficult to recognize the truth that his preparation is equally important. College takes on the aspect of “busy time” between a beginning and a goal. “Spoonfed” education helped dull some of the initiative.

Editorial There is no room for lethargy on a colJ- lege campus — especially the campus of Northwestern, where students are pre paring themselves as future leaders in the church. This is the time to assume re sponsibility, to learn to take the initiative. A necessary part of every student, this eagerness should manifest itself both in the young man’s scholarly and extra-cur ricular achievements. “Work hard and play hard” is an old but by-no-means-outdated maxim. It is a privilege to be a stu dent at NWC. It is also a privilege to be a member of a Northwestern organization, whether literary, musical, or athletic. This is your school, you: life’s foundation. Make the best of i J. t.

With the dawn of a new century came * V the abrupt passing of a beloved tra dition, the College Glee Club, owned, oper ated and directed by the students of North western College. To be sure, group singing on campus is not dead; and hopefully, the new 24 man “chorus select” will add a new dimension to the music program. But a nostalgic Senior remembers the fun that once was close harmony and independent achievement. The Senior has a particular viewpoint on his school. The emptiness in the pit of his stomach is a little more than nostalgia. You see, this Senior is looking for some real meaning to his college days, a spark that will ignite a flame of enthusiasm for his last year. The average graduate-to-be is a mere step from the wide world. The 65

The collegiate student shouldn’t need help to make the grade. Don’t apologize for high standards and a difficult curricu lum! Leave the college man his indepen dence! Give his initiative and ambition something to chew on! Let him taste achievement. Let him stand or fall on his own merit. Don’t make it too easy! Don’t let this searching Senior slide into gradua tion day! Let him find that spark! p. K.

T^he voice of the American college stu-L dent is possibly more audible today than it has ever been. For with the stu dent’s newly found sense of awareness has come a desire to voice his ideas and opin ions. The so-called “silent generation” is no more. For the most part, however, the voice of the collegian is one of criticism and protest. The Northwestern student’s voice, whether it has been critical or not, has too often been unexpressed and inaudible. Lo cal student opinion seems to take the form of low grumblings or murmurings. This and the succeeding issue will attempt to give some voice to the student through a poll of his likes and dislikes, his criticisms and ideas for improvement. This poll has been printed not with the intent that it will work reform, introduce new ideas, or even encourage student protest, but rather because it is a reflection of student body attitudes. It is valuable and of interest because it is a sincere expression and voic ing of student thought. j.

DOCTOR OTT SCHOLARSHIP AWARD

. -

In 1959 Mr. George W. H. Shield, class of 1900, founded the Doctor Ott Scholarship Award, a memorial to his former professor, the late Dr. J. Henry Ott. This award provides two $250 annuities to students in literary compe tition in the fields of English and history.

This year three awards were made, one unclaimed in the previous year. The award-winning papers were the efforts of three ’65 graduates, Howard Festerling, John Lawrenz, and Alan Siggelkow, and all were in the field of history. Mr. Festerling’s Might Makes Right discusses the politics and injustice in the 1835 border dispute between Ohio and the territory of Michigan. Mr. Lawrenz’s When The Sojourning is a correlation of Jewish and Egyptian his tory in an attempt to date Israel’s sojourn in Egypt.

WHEN THE SOJOURNING? a choronological study of Israel’s 430 year stay in Egypt

Chronology is the backbone of history. Absolute chronology is the fixed core around which the events of nations must be correctly grouped before they may as sume their exact positions in history, and before their mutual relationships may be properly understood. EDWIN It. THIELE

The Problem When E. R. Thiele published his thesis on the chronology of the Ik \ kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the hk •. < il value of the Old Testament Script. received a significant boost. By means ■ "iele’s com putations it was finally pos to untangle the enigmatic maze of nun; ., • put down by the holy writers in Kin. .id Chroni cles. Near Eastern historic, soon accept ed the recorded histories of • ' • Dual Mon archy and pushed back th mtier of ac ceptable Hebrew chronology to the year 931 B. C.

For the Biblical chronologist there are no ready made keys to unlock the secrets of the Pentateuch, Joshua, and Judges; — there remains only the difficult task of de veloping intelligent theories — or guesses, if you will — on the basis of contemporary . Near Eastern history and on what Moses and his successors wrote. In such a man ner the Biblical historian may only hope that a sufficient number of coincidences will be discovered and a pattern eventual ly established.

Since it would be impossible to discuss the whole chronological structure under lying Jewish history of the second millenium B. C. in a short paper, we will limit ourselves to a discussion of the 430 year period of Israel’s sojourn in Egypt. In spite of the fact that this period represents a silent gap in the recorded history of the Hebrew nation, it nevertheless becomes significant by the presence of two men — one the instrument of Israel’s entry into Egypt and the other of her return again to Canaan. The men, of course, are Jo Beyond 931 B. C., however, no man seph and Moses. Both were remarkable has yet ventured any degree of acclaimed interlopers into the aloof and powerful success. The reasons are obvious. What Egyptian court and each according to Biblical data we have for the period ante Scripture left his indelible mark on the dating the rupture of the United Kingdom land of the Pharaohs. Should either or at the death of Solomon appears suspici both of these men be fixed on a chrono ously pat in many places. Six rulers — logical framework, the remaining prob kings and judges — are recorded for reigns lems involved in dating the Patriarchs lasting exactly forty years, one for twice and Judges would be minor. For this rea that long and another for just half. A son our choice for discussion is appropritabulation of the entire chronological ma ate. terial does not match the 480 years listed As was intimated above, the Bible of in 1 Kings for the period between the Exo dus and building of the temple. What is fers little direct chronological data for the more, the whole period from Abraham to second millenium B. C. We do, however, Solomon lacks a single indisputable link have the statement in 1 Kings 6:1 that “it with the non-Jewish world of the type came to pass in the four hundred and that Thiele had. Abraham’s four kings eightieth year after the children of Solo of the East have not been identified be mon’s reign over Israel, in the month of yond a doubt, nor does the Bible spell out Zif, that he began to build the house of the name of a single Egyptian Pharaoh for the Lord.” Taking 931 B. C. as the end of the period of Israel’s sojourn. Solomon’s forty year reign, we arrive by 67

bow to the “overwhelming” evidence brought forth by the skeptics. Let us ex amine the facts surrounding the 430 year sojourn in Egypt and see where the truth lies.

simple arithmetic at the date 967 B. C. for the first stages of work on the temple and the year 1447 B. C. for the date of the Exodus. The 430 years in Egypt recorded in Exodus 12:40-41 gives us the year 1877 B. C. for the arrival of Jacob in Egypt. On the basis of the foregoing computations we can also arrive at birth and death dates for Joseph and Moses.. Joseph was thirty when he became vizier, and some seven to nine years later Jacob entered Egypt. Joseph must have been bom around the year 1914 B. C. and died 110 years later, about the year 1804 B.C. Moses was eighty when the Hebrews left Egypt and 120 years old when he died. He thus lived from 1527 B. C. to 1407 B. C.

When Joseph? That Joseph probably lived between the years 1914 B. C. and 1804 B. C. has al ready been stated. Following the Biblical scheme we may set the beginning of his viziership during the reign of Pharaoh Sesostris II (1895-1877 B. C.). This king was the fourth in a line of native rulers that had successfully brought Egypt out of the anarchy of the First Intermediate Peri od. Of the nature of the new period we note that: “Egypt was rich and prosper ous, and its fertility and abundance were now attracting a considerable immigration of Semites from the desert into the settled land.” On the walls of a tomb belonging to the nomarch, Khnumhotep, dated in the sixth year of Sesostris II, we read of a Semite by the name of Abshai and his band of thirty-seven Aamu, or Asiatics. Curiously, this Abshai is alst termed a Hiku-khasut or Hyksos. Th possibility that Joseph could have been sold by just such a band and that Semites such as Ja cob could have found refuge along the fringes of the Delta cannot be denied.

It may seem simple and obvious on the basis of what has just been said to pro ceed by matching dates with those of the rulers of Egypt and to say that this is when Joseph lived and these were his con temporaries, or that this was the daughter of Pharaoh who rescued Moses and this was the man who lost his chariotry in the Red Sea when the Hebrews fled. For the scholar committed to the accuracy of the Bible such a course would be quite suffi cient. Most historians, however, — par ticularly that breed which concern them selves with ancient Near Eastern historydemand that every fact be confirmed in the mouths of two or three witnesses. Since the advent of negative higher criti cism, unfortunately, the Bible has been held in such low esteem historically that her word standing alone counts for little more than nothing. Almost all the recog nized authorities on the period in ques tion desert the data of 1 Kings 6:1 and Exodus 12:40-41 in favor of a later Joseph Exodus sequence, based on what they con sider insurmountable archaeological neces sities. Proponents of this late dating sys tem place Moses under the Nineteenth Dynasty king Ramses II (1298-1232 B. C.) and Joseph during the period of the Hyksos (1730-1580 B. C.). The advocates of the late dating system contend that Egyptian archaeology and the monuments are adamant in their refusal to support the chronological data of the Bible. Even among those persons who are less inclined to repudiate the Bible as a reliable histori cal document, there are many who ques tion the precise nature of the number giv en in 1 Kings 6:1, and who consequently

Advocates of the late date stem main tain that Joseph could not have attained a high station in Egypt during the Twelfth Dynasty since Asiatics were considered “abominations.” These people obviously overlook the careful notations on the part of the writer of Genesis to the effect that Joseph did not come by his position in an ordinary manner and that once premier he affected all the customs of the Egyp tians, going even so far as not to eat with his own brothers. Such conduct on the part of Joseph would have no meaning whatsoever during the period of the Hyk sos. Pharaoh went farther than simply to place Joseph over the land of Egypt as his second in command. He gave him a dis tinctive Egyptian name so that for all practical purposes he posed as a proper native official. Joseph’s Hebrew back ground certainly was not generally known among the common Egyptians, else Jo68

;!■

47 that "Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh’s . . . from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.” If we consider that viziers often contin ued on into the reign of a successor and that the account of Genesis follows the arrival of Jacob into Egypt (c. 1877 B. C.), it is not impossible that Joseph and this famous Pharaoh worked hand in hand. If we are to believe that Joseph con tinued as vizier through the reign of Sesostris III (1877-1841 B. C.) into the reign of Amenemhet III, we could draw another proof for placing the Joseph narrative dur ing the Twelfth Dynasty. Joseph’s adopted name Zaphnath-paaneah has been trans lated dzefa-n-ta Pu-Anekh meaning "Food of the land is this living one” and it would be quite proper that his administration would concern itself with increasing the food supply and arable land of Egypt. Sesostris II inaugurated a great project of land reclamation and flood control on the west side of the river known as the Fayum. This work was expanded and completed under Amenemhet III. To this day the fellahin of Egypt refers to the diversion canal as the Bohr Yusef or canal of Joseph. For all the fine parallels that exist, there remains a single vexing problem and that is the clear mention of chariotry in Genesis 41:43 and 46:29. According to the long accepted opinion of Egyptolo gists there were no horse or chariot in Egypt before the coming of the Hyksos. No Twelfth Dynasty inscription or tomb mural can be cited to the contrary. First of all, let it be said that the horse is not mentioned specifically, though it is implied by the use of the Hebrew word merkava which means “horse drawn ve hicle.” It might be supposed that Joseph’s chariot was pulled by another domestic beast common to Egypt, A parallel can be drawn from Mesopotamia, where chariots were used long before the horse made its appearance and were drawn by onagers. If such were the case, Moses in relating the story of Joseph merely used the com mon word of his day to express an out moded means of transportation. If there are still those who insist on the presence of horse-drawn chariotry in

seph’s brethren would have heard and sus pected who he was long before they were told of his identity. Pharaoh also installed Joseph with peculiar native ceremony. The presenta tion of a ring and gold chain is verified as authentic by wall murals in the tomb of Seti I. But what is more revealing by way of chronological inference is the state ment of Pharaoh that “I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” The rul ers of the Twelfth Dynasty were the last to employ a single viceroy for both Upper and Lower Egypt. With the reestablish ment of native rule under the Eighteenth Dyansty there came the custom of appoint ing a vizier for all the land because the Hyksos never effectively held more than the Delta and the northern nomes of the upper Nile valley. Pharaoh did one thing more, and that was to marry Joseph to Aserath, the dau ghter of the high priest of I I ' )uolis. This arrangement was certain)' ; nt to be a special honor. We know f? ascriptions of the reign of Sesostris I :: the Ra cult of Heliopolis enjoyed spec . governmen tal patronage during the T> fib Dynasty. In the third year of his co egency with his father, Amenemhet I, Sesostris I dedi cated a magnificent reconslunion of the Ra temple there. Should Joseph be placed in the time of the Hyksos, his marriage to the daughter of a Ra priest would have been reproach rather than honor. The Hy ksos king Apopi III reads: "Apopi took Sutekh (Seth) for his lord and served no other god in the land but him.” The Hyk sos recognized Ra as the patron of their conquered subjects; consequently there would have been little meaning in a mar riage between a court favorite and the daughter of a Heliopolitan priest. Another reason for placing Joseph among the Pharaohs of the Twelfth Dyn asty is the similarity between the political accomplishments of Sesostris III, who succeded Sesostris II, and the accomplish ments of Joseph. William Hayes has this to say of Sesostris II: “It was S’n-Wosret (Sesostris III) who broke completely the power of the landed nobility, reducing the nomarchs to the status of servants of the crown^ and doing away with their feudal states.” Similarly we read from Genesis 69

the Joseph story, we may fall back on the fact that a good many Hyksos had made their homes in Egypt before actually tak ing over the government. The Hyksos tra der Abshai has already been mentioned. Both Burrows and Engberg conclude that there were Hyksos in Egypt as early as 1900 B. C. Even the Bible sheds light on the subject. One of the four kings who attacked the five cities of the plain is styled melech goyim, which our English Bible translates “king of nations.” The Hebrew phrase is an exact transliteration of the Babylonian term for the Hyksos and paral lels the Egyptian hiku-khasut meaning “rulers of foreign countries.” There is an opinion gaining ground among Egyptologists that the Hyksos did not descend upon Egypt in one fell swoop as was long believed, but rather entered the Delta initially as mercenaries to hold the line of desert forts in the Sinai penin sula. Larger groups were used later as storm troops in the civil war between the northern Fourteenth Dynasty and southern Thirteenth Dynasty. In the confusion that followed, the Hyksos usurped the throne of the Xoite kings of the Thirteenth Dyn asty much as Charles Martel did twentyfour centuries later. If indeed the Hyksos were present as elite troops during the Twelfth Dynasty, we could imagine that the horse and chariot were there too, though in small number. Since military action in the Twelfth Dynasty was limited almost exclusively to the south in Nubia and the Sudan, it would not be surprising that even the great general Sesostris III failed to depict either horses or chariots on his victory stellae. Chariots were use less south of the Delta.

This mention of Raamses in Exodus 1:11 has been the rallying point for all late date theorists. Archaeologists agree almost to a man that Pi-Raamses is the same as the city of Tanis or Avaris, at which place there is not a single scrap of evidence linking it to the Eighteenth Dy nasty. The city, however, was a site for extensive building operations under Ram ses II (1298-1232 B. C.). The conclusion is drawn that Ramses II must have been the Pharaoh of the Oppression. The fal lacy of this assumption is made immedi ately clear upon a close examination of Exodus I. The building of Pithom and Raamses antedates the edict of the king requiring the death of all male children, thus preceding the birth of Moses. If the Exodus were placed around 1280 B. C. as the late date advocates would have it, Moses could not have been born later than 1360 B. C. That date falls forty years with in the Eighteenth Dynasty. Thus either date requires building activity at Raamses during the Eighteenth Dynasty and this “strong” argument in favor of the late dat ing system falls flat.

The problem of Raamses. nevertheless, remains. To answer the que ;iion we must backtrack a bit and speculate on what transpired after the death cf Joseph. It has already been mentioned that the Hyksos eventually took over the Delta king dom from the weak native dynasty in the north. There is every reason to believe that this transmission of power did little to hinder the freedom and growth of the Israelites. Besides Joseph there was no Hebrew that we know of who enjoyed the special favor of the Twelfth Dynasty kings. We do know for a fact that the Israelites were given a distinct portion of When Moses? land outside Egypt proper along the Wadi Attention must now be turned to the Tumilat (Goshen). They were, after all, other end of the 430 year sojourn and the an abomination. The occurrence of a large man Moses. Earlier Moses was given the number of Semitic names among the Hykdates 1527 B. C. to 1407 B. C,, which sos rulers, Jacob-har for instance, indi would place him squarely within the Eigh cates that the Jews nevertheless found teenth Dynasty. From the material in Ex friends and grew prosperous in the new odus I we know that a considerable change environment. of fortune had befallen the Hebrews. Be fore the birth of Moses “a new king arose The king “which knew not Joseph” up over Egypt which knew not Joseph,” would then most certainly be Ahmose the whose advisors feared the large number Liberator (1580-1946 B. C.), who conduct of Israelites, and whose decision it was to ed the siege of Avaris (Raamses) and su put his foreign subjects to work on the pervised its destruction. It is foolish to cities of Pithom and Raamses. suppose that the entire population of the 70

vt i;

Delta loyal to the Hyksos left Egypt when the city fell and its rulers withdrew to Saruhen in the desert. Is it not reasonable to believe that Ahmose forced his new subjects, the Hebrews, to rebuild the burnt city as a supply depot for his garrisons? The Biblical account states that Pharaoh feared lest the Hebrews join themselves with an enemy and “get them up out of the land.” The phrase used is identical with the terminology employed to describe a journey from Egypt to Canaan. Since the Hyksos power hung on for quite some time in Palestine, we can understand the fear of Ahmose and his eagerness to deal wisely with the Hebrews. The establish ment of Avaris-Raamses as a store city and not necessarily as a treasure city would have been strategically wise under the circumstances.

mise that Moses accompanied the queen upward in her rise to power and shared with her the jealousies and hatreds of the partisans of Thutmose III. It is interesting to note that Moses’ flight to Midian falls in with the beginning of Hatshepsut’s end. Trouble began in the sixteenth year when the daughter of Hatshepsut, Neferure, died and the girl’s guardian, Sen-mut, fell out of favor. That was the year 1491 B. C., three years before the tentative date for Moses’ flight to Midian. If we read be tween the lines in Exodus 2:11-14, it is easy to see that Moses knew he had to watch his step. Before killing the Egypt ian we read that “he looked this way and that.” In normal times even an adopted prince of the realm would not have had to fear recrimination for the murder of a mere taskmaster.

Certainly the most interesting task in establishing the historical chronology of the Sojourn is the identifying of the kind daughter of Pharaoh who saved Moses and adopted him as her son This woman could have been no one else but the fam ous king-woman Hatshepsut At first the connection may seem incongruous. The first thing any schoolboy ,rns about this woman is that she possi ssed a fierce, do minant, and even ruthless personality. No character sketch could more untrue. ‘To look upon her was m • beautiful than anything; her splendor nci her form were divine; she was a maide . beautiful and blooming.” a monument at Deir El Bahri reads. Her rule was characterized by peace; her administrators were not sol diers, but men of the arts — architects, priests, and scribes. Hatshepsut’s reign marked the first break toward realism in Egyptian painting.

More weight is added to the identifica tion of Moses with Hatshepsut, and Hat shepsut with the daughter of Pharaoh when Exodus 2:23 and 4:19 are consider ed. God advised Moses that those who had sought his life were dead. With the passing of Thutmose III and his genera tion there was no further need to fear the type of ruthless vengeance which histori ans have unearthed throughout Egypt. At the king’s behest every possible reminder of Hatshepsut has been hacked out of the monuments and inscriptions. What hap pened to Sen-mut, Hepusonbes, Nehsys and the rest of the pro-Hatshepsut party can well be imagined. While Thutmose III lived, Moses had every reason to believe that he was a marked man.

The girl who plucked Moses from the reeds was not yet the queen. It is most probable that at the age of ten or twelve she did not even remotely dream of a throne. In the year 1527 B. C. an elder brother was still alive; besides, only one other woman in the history of Egypt had dared to call herself king. Under Hatshe psut’s protection the young man Moses be came “learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. We have the witness of Josephus that he led a victorious army against the Ethiopians. At any rate it is fair to sur 71

In the successor of Thutmose III, Amenhotep II, we have a most fitting Phar aoh of the Exodus. In a land where mo desty was the least of a ruler’s virtues, Amenhotep II surpassed his fellows in pride and arrogance. Just such a man is hinted at when God warns Moses that “the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.” The advocates of the late dating system argue that the Pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty ruled out of Thebes, and the Biblical narrative de mands a Pharaoh who lived within miles of his rebellious slaves. Ramses II, of course, fills the bill. But so does Amenho tep II. We know that he was bom in Mem phis and that as crown prince he was com mandant of the navy shipyards at Peru-

sion that the young grand prince came to the throne unexpectantly and was not in the direct line of succession.

nefer near Memphis. A temple to the god dess Bastet built by Amenhotep II has been excavated in Bubastis. Bubastis was the jump-off place for the Asiatic expe ditions of both Thutmose III and Amen hotep II. More important, Bubastis lay within a few miles of Goshen, the ghetto of the Hebrews. Amenhotep II made three military trips into Syria, in the third, sev enth and ninth years of his reign. Since the year of the Exodus according to the early dating system probably falls in the fourth year, the location of the court in relation to the children of Israel presents no problem.

If the Hebrews left Egypt during the early part of the reign of Amenhotep II, the Amarna Letters confirm that they ar rived in Canaan sometime during the reign of Amenhotep III, the Magnificent (1411-1374 B. C.). The royal governor of Jerusalem, Abdi-Heba writes of the suc cessful military exploits of a people known as the Khabiru in the Judean highlands. He even mentions that these people were led by a man named Yashuya. Though strictly speaking these letters concern events outside the period of the 430 year sojourning, they are a final endorsement of the plausibility of the early dating sys tem.

The death of the firstborn of Pharaoh during the tenth plague provides an ex cellent opportunity for establishing yet an other link between Egyptian history and the Bible, because the rulers of the Eightteenth Dynasty practised primogeniture whenever possible. The early dating sys tem would demand that Thutmose IV, the successor of Amenhotep II, would have to be at least a second son. Quite naturally the annals of Amenhotep II nowhere ad mit that a firstborn son was lost to the God of a slave people. From the inscrip tions of Thutmose IV, however, we re ceive the strange story of his being ap proached by a deity while still a boy. The god promises him the throne in turn for a favor — the clearing away of the sand from around the Sphinx at Gizeh. Breast ed and others take the story for an admis

;

The Answer On the basis of what has been said, we may answer the charge of the skeptics. The monuments are v o t silent. They speak as eloquently in defense of the Bible as we could expect. There is no “over whelming” evidence to contradict the sim ple statements of 1 Kings 6: : and Exodus 12:40-41, and we can res' assured that the history of Egypt compr.'inents in a fine way the witness of S< ; ipture. ed. note — Footnotes and bibliography have been omitted.

Although chance only expected 4 correct hits in 187 tries, the subject got 60. Vari ous card tests, using as many as 52 dif ferent cards, were used. Results were said to reach odds against chance of 1070 to 1. Countless other remarkable tests could be mentioned, but it should be sufficient to say that these tests with repetition after repetition over 75 years have supported the findings at Duke. In telepathy especially, the vast show of research seems overpow ering. There definitely seems to be some thing to the whole question of ESP. True, ESP is still almost universally disbelieved, but no one seems to show evi dence against it. Everyone merely disbe lieves it because it doesn’t seem logical. If these evidences don’t show a type of ESP, then the laws of chan:. and mathe matics must be wrong, and i change in them would be probably eve: more start ling than ESP.

He dictates poems — on in England. In one test pictures were one writer received 14 in an hour. The

The first tests were merely to discover if some sort of ESP exists. The agent, who sat behind a screen or in another room, would look at one card after another, and the subject recorded his guess. The laws of chance say that the subject should get 5 out of 25 correct. But Mr. Pearce, Duke’s ace guesser, averaged more than 8 hits per run for 700 runs. That’s 5600 correct guesses in 17,500 times while only 3500 were expected by chance. Several other series, with every possible outside influ ence eliminated, produced similar results. This proved that more was involved than simple chance or luck. Elaborate tests were then taken to see if .telepathy (mind to mind transfer) or clairvoyance (object, the cards, to mind) was involved. Telepathy was shown in a series in which the agent never used cards but merely thought of an order; clairvoy ance in a series in which no one saw the face of the cards until all 25 were called. Both tests rail far above chance.

even in the universities, are especially in trigued by this question. They claim now they may prove the soul’s existence. They debate at present whether the soul of a dead person transmits the message, or the receiver’s own mind develops it.

“ghosts” even scold the writers if they don’t write often. According to the Society, in one case 7 people through out the world, who didn’t even know each other, received messages from a Prof. Myers who had died years before. Over a period of 31 years, start ing in 1905, 3000 messages were received from him. In one letter he described per fectly his room to a writer who had never even seen his house. To prove cross-cor respondence, one writer requested Myers to send a circle with a triangle in it to the other writers. The Society claims he did.

The researchers talk big of the future. ESP is becoming accepted, they claim. Now they plan to try to trap ESP and use its power. Perhaps they can stop preseen accidents before they happen. They expect to find ESP an integral part of ev ery person, for instance dreams or wo man’s intuition. Scientists feel it may be ESP which causes cats to eat from the same dish, birds to migrate, or dogs to re turn home. As one reads such prospects for the future, he can’t help but think that they are nothing except vain boastings. The futility of these researches seems obvi ous to anyone who studies them. The sci entists are getting nowhere. After 75 years of testing they merely have shown that some unexplained perception takes place in the laboratory, nothing more. ESP even if it is real, is such an elusive thing that science may be bogged down for good. Perhaps it slips into the realm of God’s mysteries and is not given for man to know.

According to the Society, automatic writing happens often. One writer re ceived a full letter with pet nicknames, an unknown signature, and an address to mail it. Although the writer didn’t know the people, she mailed the letter. Suppos edly the letter used the hand writing, lan guage and pet names of . dead person only to the and contained matters kn family. In a year that received 4 such letters. The Society also has els of medi ums who in a trance sup; ■]; speak for some dead person. But iupe of thing all slips into the crazy frit. .$ far as I’m concerned. I include it 1/ 0-ow the type of “work” which is being e i Tied on. It should be emphasized that records of this sort don’t come from the universities. Their scientists have looked into mediums and seers, but usually they are left without any positive results. They can't prove the pro phets to be fakes, but they also can’t show that more than luck, coincidence, or an educated guess was involved.

Comments Co as Christians what do we say about O ESP? Do we believe it or reject it? Since the Bible doesn’t instruct us con cerning such a matter, it must be consid ered an open question. There seems to be some very definite proof for the exist ence of extrasensory perception — at least in laboratory experiments. And it seems we would be improperly narrow-minded to flady reject it. But we would be foolish to swallow wholesale accounts of visions or precognitive dreams. I’m sure most of those are fakes or coincidences. ESP can be easily explained in view of our faith, though. A comforting pre cognitive dream for a worrying wife, a vision of Christ to a dying man, a dream warning of danger to a man, these are undoubtedly sent by God. For “God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to per form.” (Hymn 514)

The Future The study of ESP is still at its very beginning stages. Science so far has merely shown that some sort of ESP exists in some people. But the big questions re main. What is ESP? And how does it work? Could there be brain waves? Is there some unknown intimate contact between minds? Are ideas some sort of intermediate par ticle between mind and matter? No pre sent theory seems of any value. What about a living soul? Scientists, 75

Notes Of A Native Son The Black and Red’s book review this month features the controversial work of contemporary Negro author James Bald win. Rod Luebchow analyzes Baldwin’s philosophy, primarily through his novel, Another Country.

hand he avoided other Negroes. His ac ceptance of what the whites say about Ne groes isolated him from both races. Liv ing under such handicaps, he was unable to produce anything of literary value. He hated America, he hated whites, he hated being a Negro. What do you do when you constantly feel the need to apologize for yourself? What do you do when you’re afraid to be caught listening to a singer of your own race, or to be caught eating a food connected with your race (in his case, watermelon)? Baldwin ran. His an swer was a 10-year self imposed exile in Europe. In a way this was the best thing he could have done. Europe wiped away color barriers and gradually gave him the chance to find himself. Being able to face the world in his own right worked a re markable change in him. Confidence to communicate with anyone lie chose was the first fruit of this revel: tion. From there he began to develop into a worth while, or rather controversial, writer. His first noteworthy works were essays. Then in 1963 he came out with a novel which became a nation-wide 'jest seller. Another Country is a novel i reader will soon forget. It is so chokingly outspoken, so degrading, so unbearable that one feels sick after reading a few pages. If this novel is a true reflection of what goes on in the slums, if this is an approximation of what goes on among Americans, then we had better start praying that we be spared. Baldwin’s big theme throughout ail of his works is to get us to face the truth about ourselves; but if what he says in this novel is true. . . I still can’t believe it.

A/"uch is said these days about the adiy± vancement of colored people. They have earned their place in the field of sports and more or less have always been recognized in the entertainment field. But what about the literary field? Few have made the grade. Within the last ten years one Negro seems to have made his mark upon American literature. He is James Baldwin.

Baldwin doesn’t merely want to pre sent the truth. He doesn’t merely want to sell books through smut. He wants to strip away even the last shed of self-respect that men can hide behind. In effect, he says: Here you are in all your ugliness. Take a good look at yourself. Look at the mess you’ve made of your own lives and the lives of others. He throws the races together in common sin. The lowest forms of society glare at us as we read through the pages.

From high school on, Baldwin wanted to be an author — not just a Negro writer, but rather a real writer. There was al ways something standing in his way, main ly his color and himself. In his essay ser ies Nobody Knows My Name he admits that he was ashamed of his color. He did n’t think that he was good enough to com municate with whites, and on the other

If we rise above the obvious and try to grant him something of a respectable 76

philosophic approach, we could say that he is slapping our faces with the way we whites act, how we force the Negro to live in humiliation. We cannot treat Negroes any better than dirt under our feet, yet whites think it’s okay to vent their passions on Negro men and women. Our do-gooders rail on about equal rights, but still can’t shake the idea that Negroes are an inferior race. We feel the need to apologize unconscious ly to them by reason of their race. Whites to him aren’t really sure where they stand in their own society. We all feel that we must avoid any stigma brought on by as sociating with the wrong people or by do ing something others don’t approve. Why is this, he asks. Basically we don’t have a clear conception of ourselves, we don’t know if we are good enough to stand on our own without being under the protec tive cover of conformity. Yes, this is what he is trying to tell us in Another Country and everything else he lias written: we whites are a crazy mi.vd up bunch of people. His Negro pro ,c-ites cursingly lash out at their white lovers with this same message. His whu> haracters are always confused individu :i They, at first, appear sure of themselves, nut before Bald win is through, he has • r-ed away their facades. This is typical! v Baldwin. In, Fire Next Time Baldwin in so many words supports the above contentions. In this book he advises his nephew how to cope with the color problem: ‘There is no basis whatever for their (whites’) assump tion that they must accept you. The really terrible thing, old buddy, is that you must accept them. . . For these innocent people have no other hope. . . They have had to believe for many years, and for innumer able reasons, that black men are inferior to white men. Many of them, indeed, know

better, but, as you will discover, people find it very difficult to act on what they know. . . But these men are your brothers — your lost, younger brothers. And if the word integration means anything, this is what it means: that we, with love shall force our brothers to see themselves as they are, to cease fleeing from reality and begin to change it.” Here is the reason for all the degradation in Another Coun try — to make us face ourselves. He main tains that in order to change what is wrong, we have to see ourselves as we are and stop fleeing reality. Once we have become stable, we at least can start work ing on our problems without ducking them. There can be no doubt that Baldwin as a novelist is too realistic. He draws you down into the gutter, he wipes you in the slime of humanity, and he leaves you with a sick, depressing feeling — ashamed to be a human being. Still we should ask ourselves, are his ideas valid? His means of getting them across to us are extremely questionable if we judge on the basis of Another Country, but what he has to say makes sense in an idealistic sort of way. Certainly, if we gain the ability to face reality without shrinking from it, we are on sound ground for working toward so lutions — at least more so than if we can’t even see where the trouble is. In closing I must say in all fairness to Baldwin that not everything he writes is on the objectionable side. His essays in Nobody faiows My Name are fine, clean presentations which give us a clear in sight into the man’s approach to problems confronting him. These essays, accord ing to critics of today, are the means by which Baldwin will make a permanent mark upon American literature — a dis tinction not many Negroes can claim.

Human kind cannot bear very much reality. t.

The Attacks on Luther

I • t i

S' ■t ■

•0. i

TA7e tend to think of Luther in terms of VV popular biographical incidents - the thunderstorm, the posting of the Ninetyfive Theses, the burning of the papal bull, the stay in the Wartburg, and so on. Luth er’s significance for a person varies with that person’s area of emphasis. Some think first of his influence on the German language. He was a great hymnwriter, who made important contributions to the store of sacred music. The student of phi losophy remembers his attack on natural theology as a step in the separation of philosophy and religion. The German na tionalist credits him with freeing Ger many from the political influence of the Italian papacy. But Catholic polemicists from Pistorius to Denifle characterize him as a lustful monk, who overthrew insti tutions of the church to excuse his own passions and desires, an impetuous man unworthy of the name Christian. During and after the Reformation both parties launched harsh personal attacks against the leaders of the opposition. The attacks on Luther fall into two broad cate gories. In one group are the unfounded accusations produced by party prejudice and spite. The stories of his birth from the Devil and of sexual excesses in his Wittenberg home are extreme examples of this type. The accusations of the second group are based on Luther’s writings or on quotes attributed to him. The outbursts of rage for which Luther is criticized are most evident in his later tracts against the Pope and Jews. The anti-papal tracts also contain most of his coarseness and vulgarity. Such statements are undeniably present in Luther’s works, but are better understood when put in the proper perspective. The type of language Luther used was characteristic of his age and the struggle he was leading. From about one hundred works two or three pages can be gleaned which are vulgar to a greater or lesser degree. Luther con demned the obscenity of the humanists, but failed to rise entirely above the coarse ness of his time. Statements are often attributed to Luther which we know to be contrary to

his final ideas on the subject. The nature of Luther’s work explains this. He turned out pieces at a rapid rate for thirty years. His theology has little systematic, orderly structure. Each piece is usually an in tense analysis of the meaning of a par ticular section of Scripture and its mean ing for our life. Furthermore, Luther mo dified his position on many subjects be tween 1517 and 1530. His later works of ten clarify and expand statements made in his early writings. Luther’s wine, women, and song state ments are widely quoted. Luther wrote vol umes on Christian living, but these occa sional statements in the Table Talks at tract the critic’s attention. They were as sembled largely from the notes taken by the students who regularly crowded around Luther’s table. A wide cited quote in which Luther allegedly gave license to sin is his statement, “Sin irn all you are worth, for God can only foivive a hearty sinner.” It was not made in a general wri ting, but was an attempt to cheer and en courage Philip Melanchthon, hen he was going through the same torments of con science which Luther h a d experienced. Luther had no fears t h a t Melanchthon would follow it literally. The attacks on Luther can be put in their perspective, but cannot be complete ly dismissed. This is, however, no blow to our religion as the critics seem to think. It is the key to a proper understanding of Luther’s place in our hearts. For Luther is not our Christ or infallible Pope. He is an exemplary Christian, whose faults make him worth more to us. The Refor mation was not a matter of Luther seiz ing God’s truth again for us. God’s truth seized him through the work of the Holy Spirit. This power enabled and compelled him to lead the Christian life, which had proved so futile when he had attempted it with his own power. Like Abraham and David he is a hero of the faith through whom God worked great things despite his human weaknesses. As our nearest great example of God’s strength made perfect in weakness, he strengthens our hope that God can use our greater weakness. J. B. 78

Finally, we come to the question of what all these numbers mean. One thing is very evident throughout the poll results: there is balance. In no place did more than two-thirds of the students give the same answer. This wide range of back grounds and interests constitutes a tre mendous amount of knowledge and abili ties which are all bound together in a single school with a single faith.

He opened the book With a hopeful smile, Then turned the page with a sigh. And gazed with a look Growing blank the while It swept o’er the autumn sky. Yes, once again students are diligently engrossed in their books. Once more the clarion bells have hastened our steps to the regimented barracks of Northwestern. But then there is Mr. Dugly Weiser, who, like most of his class, is looking forward to an extended vacation after a torrid sum mer’s work! Well, to each his own. And if it’s not skate boards and skinned knees, it’s skates and winter skis, or shooting the rapids of the roarin’ Rock River in spring. Canoeing on the rocks, you will re member, was popularized by Dr. Ott, in whose memory award papers are written. There would be more written, but it takes original thinking, and ideas are rare es pecially in these halls where sufficient dust to breed even the germ of an idea rarely collects before May — and then it’s too late. That’s why they never sweep, ’arry. This year change seems to be the watchword as we enter a new centennium. Our new chef is changing the names on the menu, different class schedules have been interchanged, our public paper bas kets were exchanged for more stately re ceptacles, our collegiate glee club seems to have been shortchanged, and only our available, scalable, almost-unbailable old watertower is unchanged. But even it is slated to bite the dust. Which reminds me, the Sophs, in their secret hall meetings, are planning a suit able welcome for the most despicable dust of the earth, the Frosh. Only remember, Frosh: if they are still deluded by the idea that fish swim for the catching beneath our manhole covers, fish along with them. It beats numbering the number of trees on campus! But seriously, you will wel come with warm hearts the day when the chill waters of your traditional purifica tion pour down on your humbled( ? )heads. Your hearts better be warm, ’cause not much else will be.

THE QUEST That Freshman, mentioned before, who opened his book with a smile (ever try it?) while, doubtless, brushing a mop of sunbleached hair from his serenely blue eyes, was wondering what the long year had in store. He ran at once to ask a professor, who is most always right. “What’s new?” asked the Blue-Eyed Innocence brightly. “My boy, ask not what is new,” came the reply. “Ask, rather, of us that which will never grow old, and I can introduce you anytime 1” That same night, Innocence happened on what is called a bull session — explain ed to him as a term derived from the revo lutionary antipathetical reaction leveled at the laws of one John Bull, from which in turn is derived the appellation of the lo cation of many such multipa. te discus sions — where he learned il probable highlights of the year as follov.

serve as a music center and auditorium. To highlight the chapel, a walled garden will be built about it. In addition the 1875 wing of the prep dormitory will be razed and the loop entering between the library and chapel from Western Avenue will be eliminated. In the future all traffic will be outside the square. In the more distant future are phases two and three, which are now only in the unofficial campus-planning stages. The major item of the second phase is the erection of a student union-administration building in front of the present prep dormitory. In the third phase, which begins at the time of the separation of the high school and college departments, the prep dormitory will be razed When the resi dent enrollment of the college exceeds 320 an additional 152 man dormitory will be construc ted partially overlapping the site of the razed prep dormitory. How soon? This October a large commit tee composed of the Synodical Council, the President's Advisory Council, and others con cerned will meet to determine priorities for the Synod’s building programs High on the l;st will be the new collegiate dormitory. The gymnasium may not be rated so highly. If pri ority is given, building will bc> : when funds are available. Hopefully, this ;ld be with in a year. The new dormitory ill cost about $575,000, the gymnasium $500 00, and the remodeling of the present gymn.isium $75,000.

Acting on the Report of the Board of Control of Northwestern College, the Synod Convention of 1965 at Watertown passed three resolutions which will help to meet pre sent and growing needs of our school.. Re solved: "That a gymnasium and dormitory be built on the Northwestern College Campus and that the vacated gymnasium be remodel ed. . . That two professorships be granted in the next school year and another one in 19661967. . . That we recommend the inclusion of the $1500.00 annual subsidy in the budget of Northwestern College." The last resolution is to equalize the cost of musical training with that of our synodical schools.

The first resolution is an approval of the first phase of a far-reaching building program. This first phase calls for the location af a 152 man collegiate dormitory, whose length will run parallel to the present dormitories, at the center of the hollow square of present campus buildings. The new gymnasium will cover the tennis courts, which will be relocated in the far northwest corner of the campus. Its length will fall in line with the present gym and re fectory.

•Sportd The Trojans hope to get Coach Umnus’ thirtieth year at Northwestern off to a good start with a winning football record, in spite of one of the toughest schedules in the last few years. Experienced players return at nearly all positions. The backfield is intact with Toepel and Schwartz back to lead the running attack. Bode and Kobleske will share quarterback duties, and Hahm will man the flanker spot again. Both lines compare well with those of recent years in size and experience. The average weight is 200 lbs. for the offensive line and 220 on defense. offense

COACH and SENIORS Dave, Ken, Harry, Klu, Ron, Rich Northwestern 34 Eureka 13 The Trojans opened their season with a 34-13 win at Eureka. We started fast, scoring the first four times we got the ball. In the first quarter Toepel passed 28 yards to Halvarson, Schwartz went 72 yards down the right sideline, and Toepel scored

on a 4 yard run to give NWC a 21-0 lead. Eureka scored after we fumbled a punt on our own 10 yard line. Schwartz’s 15 yard touchdown run made the half time score 27-7. The teams traded scores in the 4th quarter. Our score came on Hackbarth’s 1 yard plunge. Halvarson successfully kicked four out of five conversions.

The first time we had the ball Martv Schwartz scored on a 55 yard run around ight end, but the low conversion attempt is block ed. Stout then put together a sustained drive, capped by Skip Waters’ 2: yard run. Minutes later, Waters returned punt 80 yards after running a reverse p.’Uern with Stout’s other safety. The successful con version proved to be Stout’s margin of vic tory, since neither team was able to score in the last 40 minutes. The Trojans pene trated deep into Stout territory on several occasions, but were always stopped. Stout was thwarted by penalties and a costly fumble after they had driven to the 1 yard line. It was a hard hitting game, particu larly the tackling. Stout’s line was prob ably the quickest the Trojans have faced in the last two years.

^Idiloriai 7\ N EVENING CHAFEL SERVICE that has

lost its relevance has also lost much of its purpose and value. Chapel services must be attuned to the people and the situation at hand. They must speak to and about the student and his spiritual needs. No one will deny that daily chapel ser vices are our great privilege, nor will he deny our Christian need for daily worship and prayer. Yet, each year the question is raised, “How can we improve chapel at tendance?” Routine or habit, despite its many benefits, tends to dull the worshipper’s “de sire for the sincere milk of the Word.” When a fellow student merely reads a chapter of the Bible, routine and human nature hinder the listener’s attention, and he does not let Scripture speak to him per sonally. Introductory remarks which point the text and apply it to our student body alert the hearer to assiduous attention and self application. The work that the speaker does with his text brings him closer to a realization of his goal. Scripture-reasoned admonitions to the Christian conscience foster self-analysis and correction. The reproof and the comfort oi Scripture once more encourage us to a sanctified life, at peace with God. A chapel service with pointed relevance is never mere routine.

TA7hy do we study languages like Greek, * * Latin, German, and Hebrew? Is it really that necessary? These questions are forever timely here at Northwestern. The first answer that we usually hear is a basic, “The Bible was written in Greek and Hebrew; the church fathers wrote in Latin, and Luther wrote in German. You gain a better understanding by being able to read these works in the original lan guage.” But is it really necessary that we trans late and re-translate these works? There are certainly an adequate number of Eng lish Bibles and commentaries that empha size the important points. There are also adequate translations of the church fath ers, and very shortly the whole of Luther will be available in English. These state-

ments are true — but only to a certain point. Are the translations of today really sufficient, and will those seemingly ade quate translations remain adequate? It is impossible. Each generation has its own special point of diversion. Our age is particularly plagued by science. Evolution is errone ously taught as a law of nature. The vir gin birth was medically impossible. And, as one ALC minister put it, “Anyone who says that the story of Balaam’s talking ass is inspired, is an ass himself.” The very core of our lives, the inspired Word of God, is being attacked every day. In this light, are these translations (that often lapse into interpretations) a sure foundation upon which we can build our confession? When a so-called scholar trys to squeeze the interpretive meaning “a period of time” out of the Hebrew word for day, are we going to sit idly by be cause we don’t have a knowledge of He brew? The answer is self-evident. It would be disastrous if we would em ploy only a handful of scholars to keep heresy out of the church < :-olicy which the Roman Catholics now • intain). It is quite easy for an individu to fall into heresy by simply pursuing some particu lar doctrinal point beyond e context of Scripture. History bears this out. If our synod’s entire religious stand depended on the interpretations of a few feeble indi viduals instead of a theologically sound corps of watchful pastors, it would be im possible to retain the Gospel in its truth and purity. j. t. hether we care to admit it or not, * » we are extremely conscious of what other people think of us. We strive to cre ate a favorable impression, even if it re quires a bit of pretense and ostentation. And most of all we fear criticism or being proven wrong. Nothing is quite as uncom fortable as having to be corrected. Rather than be subjected to such an experience, we often prefer to avoid any voluntary ac tion requiring self-expression. The fear of being -wrong prevents some from partici pating in activities performed for the pub lic and from submitting, in writing, per sonal views and original compositions for use in print. We frequently shy away from expressing our personal opinions, especi ally when they disagree with those of a majority of others. 89

With all the stigma attached to being wrong, we sometimes forget what a price less experience being wrong and realizing it can be. Nothing can really make us stop and think quite like a few words of re proval. It causes us to reconsider and re evaluate ourselves and our ideas. And it is instructive. In the process we learn something of ourselves and our abilities. Self-expression should not be dead, nor need it be. The fear of criticism should least of all hinder it. The habit of letting the will of the majority determine our views will never make anyone self-sufficient, nor is the majority always right. The only time being wrong is dangerous is when it goes unheeded by us. We learn through our mistakes. It’s only he who is afraid to make mistakes that suffers. j. M.

A Letter To The Editor Dear Editor, Who I am is really unimportant. I could be any one of a number of people whom your editorial in the October B & R may have disturbed. It typifies the rebel liousness of college students nowadays. You want a chance to employ initiative, you say. You want a taste of achievement and an end of “spoonfeeding.” Regarding initiative, you seem a bit impatient. You probably want a practical preparation for your future work. Well, relax. The majority of students don’t ap pear so worried. That’s a long way off yet. Enjoy the pastimes of college life. You’re only young once. And, wait until you get to Sem! Things will be different. Your obvious disgust with “spoonfeed ing” is unfounded. Northwestern always had a standard of education that compared with the best, and we’re still abiding by the same. You don’t hear criticisms from alumni do you? So the system must be good. You don’t hear faculty concern for student evaluation and opinion, so they must feel that their presentation is suffici ent. All these people certainly can’t be so apathetic and disinterested in the Synod’s only ministerial college as to neglect de fects if they were present. In short, I think your editorial is un representative of the majority of students, who really aren’t too worried about the quality of their education, or at least, who aren’t wasting their time thinking of con structive ways to improve it.

I GO TO COLLEGE . . This month’s lead article focuses on the problems facing colleges and universi ties today. Rod Luebchow, a Senior from Tomah, Wisconsin, examines trends in higher education and their effect on pro fessors and students. Next month Fred Toppe will discuss ideas in current drama. % > ties of America have been burdened with all sorts of additional chores. They have taken the role of entertainer when they assumed the responsibility for holding hootenannies, intercollegiate athletics, alumni reunions, conventions, and a host of other extra-educationa:. ctivities. The state has made a good \\.\ny universities research centers for its mblesome pro jects. Granted, these act lies are useful and can be justified without much argu ment, but this additional’ :oad on the uni versities has obscured their proper func tion — learning, critical examination of ideas. Now that these extra burdens have been introduced, it is going to be extreme ly difficult to remove them. Dr. Paul Good man suggests in his book The Community of Scholars that groups of professors and students should secede from the present universities and set up their own schools which would be much like the original universities of the Middle Ages — pure centers of learning. This is a rather im practical way of attacking the problem, but it may be useful as a means of pro test. Other educators want the power of policy-making returned to the faculty be cause they would best be able to decide what serves the interest of learning. American universities have expanded be yond their means and need to cut down on the responsibilities which other agen cies could handle. If they would do that, then the schools could devote their full energies to their rightful purpose.

I go to college. College has come to be many things for Americans — baby-sitter, boarding house, ticket to success, lonely hearts’ club, a place to lose oneself, a place to get an education. Whatever the pur pose, over four million people can say, “I go to college1” College has become an in tegral part of the American scene, and just as other major aspects of our society have problems, so do our colleges. This article will point out some of the problems that confront our colleges and universities. t

Diversion of Purpose

ur leading educators tell us that many ^ of our problems are the result of a confusion over what a college or university should be, what it should accomplish. In Europe the university was set up by a group of scholars and students. Its sole purpose was to be a center of learning. The faculty set up the curriculum and handled the administration; it was an in dependent organization. Here in America our colleges are chartered by the state and are subject to the regulations set up by the state. This, in itself, tends to remove learn ing as the sole purpose of the university, because there are immediate obligations to the state to be considered. The board of trustees in America is made up of non university people who are easily influenc ed by popular trends, and they force the universities to become all things to all people. Hence, the colleges and universi90

Pressure on Professors 7T nother problem of higher education of ** today is the popular idea that a pro fessor should write a certrain number of books or perform some original experi ments to get his promotion. The impor tant thing for professors to do is research. Teaching is a job on the side to insure a steady income. This is the type of thing which administrators are stressing. The man who spends his time correcting pa pers and preparing for his classes does not get anywhere. He is called backward and unscholarly and is not likely to get any offers to teach at the better schools. So the pressure is constantly exerted upon educators to spend all of their time on re search. It isn’t hard to see who suffers from this. Students are forced to attend classes where the teacher either has no in terest in them or has no time to spend on them. This is one of the biggest gripes of students and real teachers * tike. Students expect their teachers to bo o ell-read, upknow their to-date, dedicated people subject well and know ho leach it. If such teachers have produ hooks or per formed important experh:-. -.us, they are all the more respected fe However, today’s emphasis on public ocn as a basis for promotion and stepping one toward fame has robbed the stud: of his right ful share of the professor’s time, and in too many cases it has produced tons and tons of worthless books and papers.

I Gone are the days when professors were considered withdrawn, absent-mind ed, white-haired old men, whose sole pur pose in life was to serve the ideals of edu cation. About the time of the New Deal Era, the government found that professors were the type of people it needed to solve the existing problems. The government wanted only the most talented scholars and was willing to pay them accordingly, oince the wages for teaching were small in 91

comparison with what the government of fered, many good teachers left the class room in favor of a bigger paycheck and bigger name. Since then, private business has taken up the same practice. One can hardly blame a teacher for wanting a bet ter wage, but it is a problem to keep good teachers in the classroom in the face of such competition. Pressure on Students ■you may ask, “How could the college enrollment increase by two million in the last ten years?” Obviously, college is the thing to do in our time. Parents have more money than they ever had before. Employers demand a college degree be fore they hire anyone. College education is a necessity before one can enter the next social class. Society of today, in ef fect, forces high school graduates into college without regard for the students’ abilities or desires. Everybody has to go to college. What does the freshman do? There is no problem in adjustment for the ones who have the ability, the desire, and the character to adjust to college life. But what about the vast number who are go ing just because mama and papa wanted them to, or those -who only want to get some kind of degree so they can get a job, or those who never had the ability to go to college in the first place? These students will drift through or drop out after a se mester or so. We have the same problem here at NWC when students have been pressured into coming here. They may end up with a degree, but their college years certainly haven’t benefitted them much if they didn’t have the desire to learn. Besides wasting their own time, they hinder those who want to learn. They slow down classes, they lower morale, they clog up the schools. Still we Ameri cans insist that college is. for everyone, and never realize the disservice we are do ing the schools and the students, both good and bad. Now that everybody is getting a Bache lor’s Degree, the pressure is on to get a Master’s. This means that under-graduate students have to keep their grades up in order to qualify for graduate school. The emphasis on good grades tends to narrow the vision of the student. When he di-

verts all of his attention to the good grade, he studies only those things which he knows the professor is concerned about. There is little work done beyond that which is outlined in each class. Even some Phi Beta Kappas have to admit that they never read any books other than those outlined for a class. When the stu dent concentrates upon reproducing what he knows the professor wants, he stunts his ability to think things out for himself, even though he gets his good grade. After the student graduates and gets out into the world, he finds that his edu cation is not what it was cracked up to be. It hasn’t prepared him for the out side world, it hasn’t much significance for him when it comes to practical applica tion. Because everything is studied in units and departments, the student never really is given a significant overview with personal application. The university has become so large and tries to do so many things that the student loses his individu ality. He has little chance to communicate with the faculty personally, and the edu cation he receives seems so far removed from the individual’s needs. This is one of the main reasons students are becoming restless and critical of today’s educational system.

still have harsh ideas on this subject, and we hesitate to tell them any different. If we want to take a philosophical view of the religious problem, we can say the current sophisticated lack of concern for religion is the result of our middle class status. The traditional bourgeois attitude toward Christianity is comfortable, dares little, is humble in its agnosticism, deals with this world, tries to embrace all phi losophies. It says all religions lead to the same place. People need it for the solu tions of their own personal problems. Stu dents of today fit right in with this type of thinking. Few dare to say that the Bible dictates what is right or wrong. Few dare to say that there is a heaven or hell. Few dare to say that the Triune God is the true God. That’s the way it’s taught in the classroom. It’s flattering to the intellect to think that way.

College Moral Problems tniscussing the moral aspects of college ■*-' life demands that we examine the stu dent’s views on God and the Church. The large majority of students (60 to 80%) are conventionally religious, according to an article in Christian Century. They be lieve that the denomination to which they belong has very little significance. The only reason they go to their church is that they were brought up that way. The only reason they don’t change is that it would hurt their parents. The plain hard facts are that the Church itself is responsible for the loss of many of its young people. Students are very much concerned about practicing what one preaches. When stu dents see people piously praying in church one minute and a couple minutes later stoning a Negro demonstrator, they quick ly condemn the Church. I think we as Christians, and as Lutherans, have to ad mit that our church is a little wishy-washy when it comes to civil rights. Our people

Cheating of the shaky religious outlook ^ on life, it isn’t hard to understand why 40% or more of today’s college students cheat and offer no apologies or have no sense of wrong-doing (according to Chris tian Centui'y). Observers offer several oth er reasons why students try it. Some blame cheating on the set-up of our edu cation. The emphasis is not on attainment of knowledge but rather on the comple tion of the prescribed course in which examinations are the only means deter mining whether one passes or not. The student looks upon cheating as a kind of game or challenge to beat the testing sys tem. The student claims he is justified looking at it in this way because educa tion has become so depersonalized, so rou tine, so nonintellectual that it really has no purpose for the student. What’s the dif ference if there is cheating or not? tn view

Others want to lay the blame on am bitious parents. Parents expect report cards with all A’s and B’s, so the students cheat to keep the family back home hap py. Cheating occurs at all levels of aca demic excellence. Slow students cheat to get passing grades, and passing students cheat to get better grades. But what is more amazing, the brighter students are more inclined to cheat than all the other groups. They care about their grades, whereas the other groups aren’t as con cerned. Cheating occurs here at NWC, too. It occurs at all levels, it occurs when students get in a pinch, it occurs where they know they can get away with it with out much chance of being caught. Finally, there are those who blame cheating on our rotting society. Young people are only imitating their elders who set the standards of morality with their own conduct. Doesn’t our society think it’s a big joke to cheat the government out of taxes? How much does it bother us to hear of graft in the government? Our young people are merely being train ed to fit into lives even more clever at de ceit and skullduggery Narcotics 7\ nother of the moi.ii problems con“ fronting today’s colleges, is the grow ing popularity of the use of narcotics. As of now, marijuana is the most popular narcotic. This is the most common at the big universities. Marijuana is so popular because it is easy to get, it is easy to take, and it isn’t supposed to be habit forming (according to the La Guardia Report, 1944). When taken in excess it produces either anxiety or pleasant feelings and sometimes psychotic episodes. This is the reason students smoke it, they think that it more adequately takes the place of al cohol. Other people want a complete escape from reality because they want to get at their real self. There are several drugs classed as halucinogens which cause all sorts of feelings, memories, fears, dreams, images, and colors. One of these drugs, called LSD, is supposed to give the im pression that the “mystic oneness” of the universe is revealed. These drugs are high ly dangerous because they gradually run down the mind. The mind becomes loose in thinking, and there is difficulty in com93

municating. These drugs have the power to cripple the psyche for life. Campus Demonstrations rnHROUGHouT the 50’s students were extremely inactive and were criticized for their conformity and lack of individual ideas. Then in the early 60’s they became interested in the civil rights movement. Students did this because they were sick of the conformist status quo and now sought to be individualistic. They became what sociologists call “activist". Let us, however, be careful to ascribe the title “activist” to a very small percentage of students. Most students are conservative and don’t feel strongly about issues that don’t concern them, but in their boredom and in their desire for a little action, they follow the few activist leaders and join in with demonstrations. This boredom has an interesting origin. Sociologists say that we are fast develop ing into a welfare state; everything in our lives is laid out for us. Our parents have provided us with a comfortable life and have taken care that our futures will be secure. If a student fails in college, some thing always comes through for him. Stu dents have become bored with this securi ty and lack of identity, and this is why there is that tendency to join in all of these radical ventures, even though the student doesn’t feel personally involved.

The civil rights movement was the first really successful venture of students in the field of politics, but at the same time it gave them their first successful lesson in civil disobedience. Now that the civil rights theme has been played out, the radical leaders are taking up the Viet Nam cause, which is a step farther in the di rection of civil disobedience. Movements such as these start our innocently enough with a few non-conformists. They orga-

nize a movement. According to Dr. S. Possony, the director of the program of international political studies, the Pro gressive Labor Party, which is Red China backed, has orders to infiltrate these move ments. Although the number of Commu nists is small, there are enough of them to organize, control, and use these student movements to cause unrest and lower mo rale. So the .humanitarian student, the non-Communist idealist, unwittingly be comes the instrument of the Communists. However, it is encouraging to learn that 90% of the students participating in dem onstrations and riots will be very moderate within five years (on the authority of Dr. S. Possony).

Conclusion This article has been able to cover on ly a few of the main problems confront ing our colleges and universities. I do not pretend to have the answers to these pro blems. My purpose was to make them known to you, to present them to you for your discussion. Since higher education has become such an integral part of our society, and since there are so many dif ficulties arising in the college community, this is an area well worth our attention. Small though we are, we, too, are mem bers of this college community. Perhaps we are falling victim to the same difficul ties. Did you ever think of that?

OF TALENTS

Talent is the seed of effectual labor. As far as the world is concerned, the difference in the product lies not so much in its good or evil, but in the strength of effect that it has on whomever it touches. In its embryonic form, talent is not easily distinguished. There may be early evidence of the category in which talent lies, but the true nature of the gift is not visible until it becomes thoroughly devel oped. And who is necessary to bring this talent to early light? There are only two men: the person himself and a capable teacher. There are men of history who discover ed their faculty in a short time without the help of a master. But these men, such as the composer Haydn, were of true geni us. Others of true genius, who were given to instruction while they were still young, were often nearly as advanced as the in structors themselves or even surpassed them. Examples of this are Rembrandt under Swanenburgh’s guidance and Mo zart at the feet of his father. Eervy man unconsciously knows from birtfi in which field his abilities lie, wheth er they are music, in science, or in litera ture. What he does not know is the exact plot to be cultivated. Therefore the teach94

er must strive to recognize this goal and direct him at the crossin-; Discipulo temptandum est, doctori . piciendum est. That is, the student mm: xperiment; the master must discern. Men of aptitude final- fall into one of three groups: those whu their talents, those who misuse them id those who do not use them. No talent was ever given that can be used only for the performance of evil. The mind that is known as ‘diabolical” is actually more clever than devilish. Most of these “devilish" minds are so because they lacked proper direction in their youth ful and plastic stage. Unsavory influences beckon with a golden finger, and the young man follows. Jugurtha, adopted as a boy into the royal house of Numidia, was such a man. When he was given a little power, he desired the whole and used murder as a thing of convenience to gain his end. This is the misuse. Examples of use are most prominent in times of peace, when the desire for power is not so evident and men have the leisure to reflect on the past and concen trate on the future. Painters, musicians, scientists, doctors, and poets are the re sult. “No use” is but an animal of the pre sent. History will not tell, for there is no glory in folly. j. t.

Cossack life and experience, from the cradle to senile death, from the back breaking farm work to the massed cavalry charges of the Cossacks. It ranges from the Black Sea to Moscow. It is this work that won Sholokhov the Nobel prize.

SHOLOKHOV The Black and Red's book review for November discusses the work of the recent Nobel Prize winner, Mikhail Sholokhov. Fred Toppe accents the vibrant life which flows through this Russian author’s two novels on the Don Cossack's.

Virgin Soil Upturned (published in English as The Seeds of Tomorrow and Harvest on the Don) deals with the forced collectivization of the Don Cossacks in 1930. The rich Cossacks — the “kulaks” — are driven off their land, and the poor and middling Cossacks, with vigorous prompting from local Communist officials, set up a collective farm. The greater part of the work is taken up in an intimate and vivid record of the failings, successes, life, humor, and romance of the transition from a near-feudal society to the planned economy of a Soviet collective farm. The book has little of the steppe-wide sweep of And Quiet Flows the Don. The action is compacted to a single village and a single year; the number of characters and events is greatly reduced. But Virgin Soil Upturned has a depth of warmth, humor, subtlety, and art that is not apparent in the other work. In And Quiet Flows the Doji Sholokhov looks through a telescope at the Don region and paints a colorful and showy panorama in; Virgin Soil Up turned he looks through a microscope and paints a gray but intense miniature.

"C1or “the artistic power and integrity with which in his epic of the Don he has given creative expression to a historic phase in the history of the Russian people,” Mikhail Sholokhov was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for literature Though rela tively unknown outside hi:- native coun try, Sholokhov is without d*--bt the most ! writer in popular and the most lid Russia today.

His other works include numerous short stor ies and Virgin Soil Upturned, the second part of his Don cycle. He is reportedly working on a third massive novel dealing with the Don region and its people during i Sholokhov’s greatest skill is description. the Second World War. He draws portraits and landscapes with a superfine and sensitive brush, even when Sholokhov was born a Cossack, and it the minor nature of the character or scene is of the Cossacks and their lusty life doesn’t warrant it. He is best at describing that he writes. The first novel in the Don secondary characters — the earthy, shrewd cycle, And Quiet Flows the Don (which is and bawdy peasants, the tale-spinning old published in English as two separate no men, hungry “grass-widows”, the dedicated vels: And Quiet Flows the Don and The and naive commissars — creating in them Don Flows Home to the Sea), deals with warm, vibrant and real people. He paints the violent and tumultuous life of the Don a vivid picture of the steppe-land in all Cossacks from 1914 to 1920. It takes its richness, for the land is especially close them through the First World War, the \ to him, as it is to all Cossacks in a deep, Bolshevik Revolution, the counter-revolu almost mystical way.

And Quiet stallion with his harem, the color of wheat Flows the Don covers the whole range of and of the Don after a storm. The land, 95

with its rhythms and eternal inhabitants, is a constant chorus and backdrop to the superficial and intrusive human actions of fighting and loving and dying. Yet Sho lokhov is a virile writer much like Hem ingway, and he delights in describing the rugged and coarse and even vulgar aspects of Cossack life. He is a purely objective writer, yet a deep tenderness and longing for the now-extinct free-booting, lusty and romantic Cossack life courses through his works.

Nikita Kruschehev, to talk him into revis ing the ending — the hero is now killed by White counter-revolutionists — so that the Russian people could read the conclusion of a story begun in 1938. Despite this outward manifestation of heavy-handed Soviet censorship, much of what Sholokhov writes appears remark ably free from censorship. Undoubtedly because of his position as the most avidly read author in the Soviet Union, he is able to veto most attempts by the Soviet literary dictators to force “social realism” and “Soviet optimism” into his work. For that reason his works have little of the bland Boy-loves-tractor-more-than-girl type of writing, for which the Soviet Union has recently become notorious. On the contrary, Sholokhov is remarkably free and frank. Soviet officials are variously portrayed as women-chasers, blunderers, or brutes. Red Russians hold mass execu tions of prisoners and terrorize and mur der White sympathizers. The role of the Cossacks in the anti-Communist revolu tions of 1918 and 1919 is sympathetical ly told, even exonerated. Many speeches in the mouths of the characters are frank ly critical of the Red .evolution and of Communist policies. Which is not to say that the books are propaganda-free or deviate from the party line. Trotsky is roundly belabored and Stalin is presented as somewhat of a god. all-wise, all-know ing, and all-good. Artistically handicap ped though he may or may not be because of Soviet censorship, Sholokhov is a dedi cated Comunist, and his works therefore portray the inevitability of the complete victory and domination of Communism,

The fact that Sholokhov lives and writes in the Soviet Union must not be overlooked in any discussion of his works. Underneath all the gloss and trap In 1955 he began writing Harvest on the pings, the Don cycle is essentially the epic Don, the second half of Virgin Soil Up ( story of the Don Cossacks in a time of turned. But the book’s publication in the momentous and earthshaking social revo Soviet Union was held up for two years lution.

Re [of this] historic phase in the history of portedly it took Sholokhov’s good friend, the Russian people.” F. T.

“Well, thanks Ernie, but I’m not a —” “Sure you can,” interrupted Randy. “Come on fellows, to the showers!” A stomping, yelling procession moved through the basement with voices swelling proudly in the Zeta Zeta Anthem. Fred looked down at his watch as he was jost led along. It had stopped at 4:30.

SNAKE IN THE GRASS Tt was a late Sunday afternoon, the first weekend after resumption of classes at Montana State, that a slight figure passed along the shaded streets near the univer sity campus. He was struggling with three suitcases — none of which matched. Stop ping at intervals, he would drop his lug gage and approach a home to peer for a moment at the Greek emblem above the wide porch of a fraternity or sorority house, and then walk back to resume his search. At length he came to a house more stately than the rest, almost a mansion, set on a wide lawn amid gnarled oak trees. He found a bell handle among the intri cate carvings of the door and jerked it. At once a small grate snapped open.

7V ll that night Fred endured the hot “ water. Monday morning Randy cut classes to make certain that Fred stayed in the shower. Late that afternoon, when Ernie returned from football practice, Fred was hanging onto the shower handles, slowly swaying from side to side. “Hi ya, Fred!” “Hi, Ernie,” he faltered. “Could I per haps . . .” He slumped to the floor by the drain. Heedless of sweater and tie, Ernie shoved the curtain aside and hoisted Fred to his feet. “Here you, pledges/” They came run ning. “You two there, hold him up. Now, Fred, what’s the matter?” “I’m hungry.” “Hungry? Randy, where’s Randy? Look, we’ve got the best kitchen of any house, and you forget to give Fred even a glass of water. That’s something Beta Stigma would pull!” A pledge ran up with a cold steak and some olives. “There, you’ll make it yet, Fred. Not only do we have the best eating, but you can look forward to using the most com plete campus social records there are.” ‘Ya,” chimed in Randy, “we call it the Perfect Partner Party Plan. We can fix you up with a blind date every night of the week. We can arrange —” “He’s sleeping, Ernie.” “Well, hit the cold water for awhile.” So it went throughout the night and into the early hours of Tuesday morning. At 4:25, one of the two pledges support ing Fred woke his fraternity brothers. The men of Zeta Zeta, active and pledge alike, cheered as the bells of the library tower tolled the half hour. “Hurrah! A new record! We beat the Snakes!” They sang the Zeta Zeta Anthem again and stood cracking jokes for another ten minutes while Randy passed around a competition form for their signatures as witnesses. Then they returned to bed.

“Ya?"

“Please, which house is this? I came late ’cause . . .” “Who are you?” “Oh! Fred Flink Suddenly the floor beneath him gave way, and with a startled y .lie dropped into an inky void. Feet pounded down the stairs and a light flashed into his eyes as he struggled to the edge of the cistern. “Pull him out, somebody. Welcome Fred, welcome to Zeta Zeta! Surprised you, huh? Yes sir, we surprise a lot of people sometimes. We’re all Zeta Zeta fellows, and I want you to know that you’re wel come here! Here, you pledges, quit gawk ing and pull him out. There, take his coat. Sorry about that.” Fred tried to smile through the water still dripping from his hair. A tall, ath letic young man stepped forward to clasp his hand. “Welcome, boy, welcome!” he beamed. “Now, I’m Ernie Welter, and that was Ran dy Eselbein, our public relations man and social director, whom you just met. You’ll get to know all the boys in time. “But now listen, Fred. We actives met last night and decided that although you are the last pledge to arrive, you will enter our campus shower competition. Last year the Interfratemity Council set it up, and some miserable Beta Stigma man copped first place with a campus record of thirtysix hours. But not this year!” 97

lone at last, Fred stumbled out of the “ shower. He donned some dry clothes from his luggage, which was still standing in the hall. Then he picked up his suit cases and slipped through the front door. The Zeta Zeta actives were eating din ner when a pledge dashed in with a copy of the University News,“Ernie! It says here the Stigma Snakes won the contest again!” “But

Student Poll - Part II T ast Month’s “Student Poll — Part I” J-1 presented the background and inter ests of the Northwestern student. Now we shall see what he thinks of his school.

I-

When asked to consider the most fa vorable characteristic of the school, the greatest number (forty-five percent) of students cited the fellowship or friendli ness which is evident in the student body. Our beautiful campus ranked second. Other things listed (especially by Frosh) were classes, student freedom, and the chapel services.

Saturday classes and the lack of social life. In addition to the most favorable and unfavorable characteristics, each student listed his favorite subject at NWC. Here, of course, the results depend almost en tirely on the class. In no class was there a single subject which was favorite with more than thirty percent of the students. The leader in the Frosh class was math (unfortunately a one-year course at NWC), followed by religion, English, and Greek. The Sophomores have chosen German as their first scholarly love, then history and English. Juniors prefer New Testament Greek and English, then history. English is the favorite with Seniors. But a school is more than classroom subjects. There are always the extra-cur ricular activities. Seventy-five percent of the student body feels that Northwestern’s extra-curricular program (Forum, chorus, band, etc.) is adequate. Considering addi tions to NWC’s activities, the following have strong student support. a revival of the Dorm Council’s “informal discussions with professors,” a lecture series, movies, special interest clubs, and more social functions. What one thing would improve North western most? The largest single contin gent (over one-sixth of the students) feels that an improvement in faculty-student relations is the answer to this question. Apparently there are a large number of dreamers — they feel that the answer is girls. Next came a separation of the Prep Department from NWC. Dropping Satur day classes and general improvement in student attitude were also given as an swers.

Most unfavorable characteristic? There was nearly a tie. Forty-nine students cited a poor relationship between professors and students. Many thought that there could and should be a friendlier, more interested feeling between the two. Others felt that too many professors fail to instill the nec essary incentive or present the student with enough challenge. Forty-eight listed student attitude in some form or other. This included personal habits unworthy of NWC as well as a negative outlook among students. Though the percentages here are similar in all classes, one thing is evi dent. The two lower grades often criticiz ed the professors’ approach, while in the Junior and Senior classes it was the other way around. Other things mentioned were

This is how the Northwestern man views his school. The poll proves that stu dents think deeply and have strong con victions about their school. True, many of the opinions might appear to be nega tive, but what can a poll be but a listing of likes and dislikes? When certain atti tudes and feelings prevail among students, both students and faculty should consider them. What is weak and impractical will fall, but what has strength behind it will keep coming back until something is done about it. R. e. 98

MODERN THEOLOGIANS The work and the names of modem philosopher - theologians pervade current religious thought land magazines. Men such as Bultmann, Bonhoeffer, Brunner, Ebeling, Niebuhr, Barth, Tillich, and oth ers have dominated the liberal theological scene during the last half century. The Black and Red offers sketches on the work of three such liberal theologians. Schleiermacher, together with Soren Kierkegaard, wrote in the nineteenth century and great ly influenced current liberal thought. Barth and Tillich are among the best known of the present lot.

SCHLEIERMACHER "Mo

study of modern theology would be complete without a consideration of the theological thought of Friederich Dani el Ernst Schleiermacher. For he unques tionably remains the father” of modern theology. Schleiermacher stands as the way-preparing Modernist who was far greater and more liberal than Ritschl, Kierkegaard, Barth and other Liberals. Born in Breslau in 1768, the son of a Reformed army chaplain, he was the child of an age in which tionalism was still in vogue. He determined to put an end to rationalism, yet he himself remained a rationalist in that his theology was deter mined not by Scripture, but by his own subjective thinking. However, Schleier macher never completely lost his Reform ed heritage A romanticist, pantheist, idealist, philosopher, ardent patriot, and strict moralist, he attempted to incorporate into his theology all his various interests and learnings. He was a thinker who took both sides on every question, and for this reason his theology is such a convergence of hetergeneous thought that it is impos sible for anyone to assert that he was just this or that. He was a theological paradox whose theology represents “multa in mul-

ance with civil authorities, yet he remain ed eminently popular with students and church members. Students flooded from all parts of Germany to attend his lectures, men of highest culture hung upon his lips when he addressed them from the pulpit, and his writings spread throughout Pro testant Germany. Yet for all his popularity, he, more than any. eminent theologian of his cen tury, stood alone. He cannot be said to have founded a school. On page after page of his main work, The Christian Faith (1821), his method is to proceed by introspection rather than listening to the voice of God speaking in His Word. “Let us go to humanity; there we find material for religion.” For him the essence of religion is intuition or feeling. Theology is less concerned with God than with man’s con sciousness of God. The Bible has no nor mative authority, but is only a means of awakening religious intuitions. &

Schleiermacher became a preacher of the Reformed Church in 1790, and was la ter to join the faculty of the University of Halle and preach regularly from the pul pit of Holy Trinity Church in Berlin. His well-known liberalism, both in theology and in politics, put him at constant vari99

Schleiermacher feels it is impossible to ascribe personality to God, because this would reduce Him to the level of finitude. He thei> must reject the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. God to him is merely the Cause of things, the “Supreme Causality.” Man is a revelation of this Cause. And “what does not become actual, is also, so far as God is concerned, not potential.” Sin, in Schleiermacher’s theology, is not transgression of the divine Law, but rather a feeling in man that he is not fully con trolled by the “Supreme Causality.” For him the problem of guilt is virtually non existent. He knew nothing of the religious struggle of a St. Paul, Augustine, or Lu ther. According to Schleiermacher, Christi anity is but a “living,” totally unconnected with either Law or Gospel. Christ then becomes a mere ideal man, in whom the God-consciousness was supreme and whose

heard, the moment of acknowledgment of Jesus, the moment of faith. This Word, which is not only the spoken word, but al so God’s deeds or anything showing the secrets of God, has come, still comes, and will continue to come. And it will always come to a single individual at a specific moment. This Word comes in a threefold form; in its oral form it is church pro clamation; in its written form it is in the Holy Scriptures; and in its fundamental, original form it is revelation, the eternal utterance of God. Faith is the miracle of the actual cognition of this Word of God. The Bible, according to Barth’s teach ing, is the witness of God's Word. It is not the Word of God as we believe, but it becomes that Word only in the event when it speaks directly to us, only when God speaks through it. For the Word of God cannot be bound between two covers. In its written form the Bible is part divine, part human. It contains truths, but it is not inspired. It is the report of man who cannot claim inerrancy and so contains human errors. However, these errors do not distract when God chooses to speak through the Bible.

redeeming value consists not in what He taught or did, but in what He is. Christ did not atone for man’s sins, but His vi carious suffering merely reveals His sym pathy for mankind. Thus our redemption consists in sharing Christ’s God-conscious ness. Peace with God is our own subjec tive feeling of being sure of our salvation. We look in vain for any mention by Schleiermacher of Christ’s perfect atone ment or an admittance by him of personal salvation and an existence of man after death. His religion with its impersonal deity cannot see any value in prayer nor can it admit the reality of a devil, sin, or the need for repentance. We then rightly ask what has given Schleiermacher such a vast and lasting influence? The answer can only lie in the fact that by veiling his liberal tenets in basic Christian terminology, his word to those chained in rationalism had the sound of orthodox Christian faith. Only when we view the expositions of his propositions do we note his complete radical departure. Schleiermacher pointed the way to modern Liberalism by which both extreme rationa lism and orthodox Sriptural Christianity can be avoided. His subjectivism was to become inherent in all modem liberals to follow. j. M.

BARTH T^arl Barth’s teaching, as taken from his mature writings, Church Dogma tics and Evangelical Theology, centers around his idea of revelation. His dialectic theology emphasizes the complete differ ence between God and man. God is “the totally other,” whom man cannot appre hend by reason or works. Man cannot know God nor is he able to initiate com munication with Him. According to Barth, there is no natural knowledge of God. Therefore, if there is to be a relation be tween God and His creation, it is God who must establish it. God must take the initi ative and reveal Himself. This revelation is the true Word of God. But Barth says there is no concrete, written revelation on earth. The revela tion comes only at specific instances. A word becomes the Word of God only at the very moment Christ speaks and is

Barth also questions the historical re cord of the Bible. He makes a distinction between “geschichtlich” and “historisch,” both of which mean historical. A Biblical event, such as the resurrection, is “nicht historisch” but only “geschichtlich.” With the words “nicht historisch” Barth means that the Bible account cannot be vouched for as historical by scholarly research, working with scientific rules (we disagree). But it is “geschichtlich.” The event actu ally took place in time and space; but it took place in a realm where our ordinal')' understanding of space and time have no application. In other words, Barth puts parts of the Bible into vague revelation.

100

into “trans-history.” But he still claims that he is not questioning the occurrence of these events. According to Barth, the theologian’s duty is to search the Bible for the Word of God, since therein God reveals Himself as the Lord. The Doctrine of the Trinity is an explanation of this revelation, but the Trinity as such is not revealed. The real content of God’s revelation is Jesus Christ, “God with Us.” To Barth, Christ is “the Son of God in human essence.” Christ is a real being and, Barth wants to believe, the God-man. However, Barth cannot quite do it, and he hedges. Barth cannot see God’s humiliation and death, so he often speaks of Christ as God’s “hu man partner,” in whom God dwells.

TILLICH

DaulTillich, who died recently, is looked upon by many as the leading Protestant theologian in the U. S. He is praised by liberal Protestants, Catholics, and atheists alike for his attempts to match the insights offered by Christianity with the predicament of modern man. Bom the son of a strict Lutheran pas tor in German, Tillich decided already at the age of sixteen that he wished to be a philosopher. He chose the Evangelical Lu theran ministry as the easiest means of en tering this field. At the University of Halle, Tillich already began to formulate his ideas concerning the necessity of doubt in faith. His experiences as a chaplain in World War I changed Tillich from an idealist to a tragic realist. He saw man’s plight for what it was and concluded with Nietzsche that God, as He was then known, was dead. He and a group of friends took refuge in a plan for religious socialism. The emphasis is on ( hrist’s perfect During this period he held posts at uni obedience, not His suflci : g and death. versities throughout Germany.

Hadn’t tellectual criticism, but they also remove Nietzsche, the great philosopher, declared it from the true God and bring it close to that “God is dead” and religion was there the timeless, unsupportable religions such fore superfluous? Tillich showed the need for theology to man, but his theology is as Buddhism and Hinduism. much distorted. j. v. 101

In his writings Tillich’s main desire is to relate the questions of existentialist philosophy to the answers of theology. He maintains that Biblical faith and the phi losophical reasoning of man are related and compatible. He explains this by say ing that "faith is the continuous tension between itself and the doubt within itself.” He maintains that this doubt is necessary to prevent fanaticism and phariseeism. A philosopher must also have doubt and faith according to Tillich. Though he doubts everything, the philosopher must still believe and know something. (For in stance, to doubt that night is black, he must know what white is. Thus doubt is built on faith.) It is the believer’s role to believe in spite of doubt and the skeptic’s to doubt in spite of faith. These two eventually meet, and as long as a person has concern for the ultimate questions, no matter what his proportion between doubt and faith is, he is saved. Thus even an atheist is saved as long as he is wor ried or anxious. The whole concept of sin and salvation is changed by Tillich. Sin is the estrange ment of man from the “ground of his be ing, from other beings, and from himself.” Man exists, but not with the essence of his nature shown in the myths about the pre-fall existence. When man is threat ened by non-being, he seeks God. He may look to church or state (heteronomy), him-

self (autonomy), or in history, nature, and all things (theonomy). Man finds his sal vation in the “courage to be” in spite of threatened non-being. All other ways to God are idolatry. This new being prevents the self-destructive structures of existence from plunging mankind into complete an nihilation.

Though his theology really has no place for God, Tillich includes many terms from orthodox theology. He equates the Father with questions oi‘ being, the Son with matters of existence and the Holy Spirit with life. He holds terms such as the Resurrection merely symbols which ought not be applied to d, who is be yond definition. Tillich strove to rental on the fence between orthodox and r: s il liberalism. As is always the case, he ■■ ■ off his fence and became one of the • ost dangerous influences in the modern lurch world. n.

Homecoming A

PEP RALLY

DISPLAYS

week of the traditional prehomecoming activities: the rush to make up lost time on displays, the Frosh guards contending with little but “lip” and cold feet, and Seniors, chefs, and students making their daily inspection of the gym. Homecoming got started with the Friday night bonfire and pep rally. MC Forrest Bivens began the program with the intro duction of the Senior and Tertia football players. Dave Toepel and Jim Schuppenhauer expressed the hopes of the two teams. Coach Pieper told the student body that a Prep victory against a powerful University -School would wipe away all the disappointments of the last two years. Coach Umnus said that since he had lost his voice and couldn’t speak long, he would have to let his team do the talking for him on the playing field. After the five candidates had been introduced, Mr. Biv ens announced that this year’s queen was Miss Mary Kuehl. The members of her court were Kristine Fredneh, Lois Toppe, Shirley Helbing, and Shery* Fehrman. The crowd then moved to the practice field for the lighting of the bonfire and an hour of conversation before disbanding for the night. fter a

Homecoming Day started early for those who had to erect or finish their class display. The first thing most people saw Saturday was either Fred Toppe holding up the arch and hoping the mail truck was going the other way, or a frantic worker rushing up the last piece of his display. When the results were in, the Seniors’ statue of Poseidon spearing a Muskie was an easy first place winner. The Juniors’ version of “Muskie on the Rocks” was good for second place. Sexta edged Tertia for third only by a special tie-breaking vote. In the afternoon double header the Trojans earned a tough 25-20 victory over Lakeland, but University School sewed up their own championship with a 41-14 vic tory over the Preps.

Prof. Lehmann and the concert band entertained the crowd assembling in the gym for the banquet. The Sophomores had created a reproduction of a Greek temple as a setting for the occasion. After a meal served by Chef Hanke, Prof. Sievert introduced toastmaster Paul Manthey to get the program started. Main speaker A1 Bitter kept the audience laughing with a lively, humorous speech. Musical enter tainment was provided by the College Glee Club, the Girls Triple Trio, and the neversay-die Prep Glee Club. Paul Kelm brought out the spirit of the student body, and Ron Hahm represented the members of the team. Coach Pieper expressed disap pointment with the showing of the Prep team. Coach Umnus said he doesn’t worry about his team getting a lot of press pu blicity, but is satisfied if they earn the respect of the other teams in the slate. He believes they have this respect. The choruses combined for the traditional closing with the school song.

Forum The Forum Society opened its season on October 20 with Dale Baumler’s pro duction of Moliere’s comedy. The Physic ian in Spite of Himself. Jim Clark made his Forum debut as Sganarelle an un educated, but clever woodcutter who is

forced to impersonate a physician because of a trick which his wife plays. Jim’s ges tures and mannerisms added a great deal of enjoyment to the play. Mary Prange, as Sganarelle’s wife, and Marty Stuebs, as the old man who calls the physician, gave good interpretations of the support ing comic roles. Lois Toppe and Doug Weiser played the young lovers aided by the “physician.” Jan Nicol, Curt Lyon and Pat Bell made their first Forum ap pearances as the old man’s servants. A good play was presented well. 105

Debate

The team saw its first inter-scholastic competition on Nov. 2. This was a prac tice debate on the standard topic for this year — Resolved: that law enforcement agencies should be given greater freedom in the investigation and prosecution of crime. The team’s next regular debate will be against Oshkosh State on November 11. Coach Dick Stadler has received invita tions from as far away as Pittsburgh, but can accept only a limited number. One of those accepted was an invitation to a sixround tournament at Whitewater on Dec. 10 and 11. The Debate team sponsored a campus debate on the topic of Freshman initiation on Nov. 3. Members of the student body participated, along with members of the team. After the presentation of the formal debate, the discussion continued in a livej. B. ly, informal manner.

Every day after classes this fall, the afternoon air resounds with the united shouts of Coach Umnus and his Trojans out on the practice field. “Drive, drivel” he shouts, and line after line of men in their dark red practice uniforms charge up the grass embankment. Football affects just about everyone on campus. Now that we are anticipating Thanksgiving Vacation, we can perhaps sit back to recall the more varied and often unrelated facts of life at Northwestern during the football season. First of all, we will finally dispose of those who insist that sports are detrimen tal to a boy’s studies. They, of course, are dead wrong. Larry Wiederich reports that after getting knocked in the Adam’s apple during practice, he didn’t have to translate Latin for a whole quarter!

In past years there have been occa sional complaints about the “lack” of school spirit here, but that is definitely not the case this fall. The Frosh will never forget their joyful, totally spontaneous mass rallies under the cold stars. At least that’s what they claimed while still under the influence of the Soph’s “truth serum” during initiation. What bothers the Frosh more than initiation is the lack of girl cheerleaders at Northwestern games. One wonders, though, if cheerleaders could do more for school spirit than the honey bears on the dining hall tables have already done. Yes, happiness is a full honey bear. A week of classes must eventually come to an end, and what better way to end a week than to forget your scholastic troubles watching coeds watch a football game? The big day yawns at last, and Pro fessor Lehmann leads his band onto the field in his favorite double-augmented sev enth formation to play a couple of really sharp numbers. Only the discerning ear can readily appreciate the various subtle nuances and base motives. Then the band marches off during the opening kickoff to play from the stands during the game. It is Professor Lehmann’s cardinal rule that band members keep their ankles off their knees while playing. “But sir,” queries John Mittelstaedt, “How can I play and keep time unless I can see my foot tap ping now and then?” The interception and touchdown on the first play always shows that the Tro jans are really keyed after the previous week’s practice. Some even go in for ex tra conditioning, such as spending long, exhausting hours of concentration watching the next day’s Packer game. The most dedicated extra effort came from Dennis Enser, who went canoeing with Richard Anderson one Sunday afternoon and ended up in Jefferson. Newspaper ratings to the contrary (they always underestimate NWC), everyone knows that half the men on the opposing squads would have trouble emptying a football shoe full of water even when provided with directions on the bottom of the heel. It is a kindness that those of little wit never know it. One weekend when the Trojans had an away game, John Trapp and his roommate, Slewfoot Weiser, decided to hit the big city for some culture. Only a North106

western student could start out to shoot pool and find himself attending grand opera while wearing a sheepcoat and beret. Those at Northwestern who don’t make the varsity team usually go out for intra mural football. It is a tossup which is rougher at times. This year the Seniors (despite an occasional “Rub It In” de fense) went undefeated. Naturally, they had a victory celebration. Here it came out that, as of this writing, not one Senior is engaged. One may say: Show me the college man whose dating habits are irregular, infrequent, or non existent, and I’ll show you a man who a. plays pool ambidextrously, b. bowls twice a week, c. writes home every week, and d. can tell you the plot of every Sat urday Night Movie for three months run ning.

PEPSICO % i

SHORTS The student who doesn’t concern him self with semester nv.r.s generally isn’t too concerned either .it his postgradu ate work and other si mlikely events. One reads that a g is actually a sub conscious defensive ? - Maoism in times of stress, as when me- . ; a stranger, and then one realizes wh\ professor always saves his best jokes fc hile handing out a “quickie” test. Then one reads that the top status symbol in India is an automobile; and here at NWC the rules make an automo bile a sacred cow: untouchable. From Professor Kiessling’s class 521: “What do they say? Ah! ‘The professor who comes to class five minutes late usual ly finds himself in a class by himself!’ ” The key to success and popularity con sists only in giving others (professors, for instance) what they think they want. But if you would be really well known, first persuade them (students, for instance) that they want something better than what you know they deserve. Suggestions for the Senior Class Gift, already coming in, include a heated tun nel from the gym to the football field, a fan-o-gram for the cafeteria menu board, or a fifty-foot bust of Shelley behind the college dorm. The frontal lobe of the bust could easily be hollowed to make a pigeon sanctum sanctorum. I think that they would feel right at home. G. L.

In the next few weeks many of you Alumni will be receiving requests for contributions to this column. Some have already been sent out. We are hoping that the responses will be filled with interesting little side-lights that never got into past issues of the B & R, and maybe some items you hope never will. So if you have some skeletons in your NWC past, we’d like to hear about them. If you have some ideas, just drop us a line. Rev. J. C. Dahlke, ’31, suggested that we resurrect a “slightly humorous” poem written by one of his classmates. No doubt his classmate liked to dream about the day when he would live by the sea rather than do his Greek. That sea he was dreaming of became the Cottonwood River in New Ulm, and the “cottage rude” turn ed out to be a beautiful ranch-styled house.

DREAMING

I ;

Give me a place when my bones wax old Where all alone I’ll be, A cottage rude and a cottage small, A cottage near the sea. I long to be where the waves dash high Upon that barren strand, To dwell in some sequestered nook Remote from human hand. I’d like to watch the ships that pass O’er that great boundless main; To sit and dream of things that were, Which ne’er will come again. Alas, while I sit dreaming thus, My joy turns into sorrow; If I don’t get my Greek to-day, I’ll get a “U” to-morrow. Prof. C. J. Trapp, ’31 Besides daydreaming, cigarette smoking ranks high as a time-waster at NWC. Rev. Ernst Wendland, ’38, who is serving our mission in Lusaka, Zambia, wrote a poem in his college days about the pesky cigarette. “Written by a Fag, Which Has Been Flippantly Flipped by the Flick of a Finger.” I can stand the guy who smokes me short, Yells ‘Snipes’ and ‘Butts’ and all such sort. I can stand the beginner who takes a puff And acts as though he’s inhaling the stuff, I can stand the prof who has the chest To make my butt the butt of his jest. I can even stand that sordid bloke Who stoops down low when in need of a smoke. But that Sophomore stude makes me rant and rage Who blows me out at the toothpick stage. And assuming an air of deference, sez, “I’ll keep it for future reference, yez.” CALLS AND INSTALLATIONS Rev.

Sports With one game remaining the Trojans have accumulated a 5-1 record and are assured a tie for the conference champion ship. The team needs a victory over U.I.C. in the final game to take the title alone. The big factor in the ii.-jn’s success has been the strong running game. In six games the team has roli up 1531 yards rushing and averaged ’-out six yards a carry. Marty Schwartz and Dave Toepel are currently the top ■ rushers in the conference. In all six g . ,es Schwartz has 783 yards and a 9.3 average. Toepel has 577 yards for a 6.0 average. Ron Hahm leads pass receivers with 11 catches for 209 yards and 3 TD’s. A strong rushing defense has limited the opponents to 668 yards, and the defense has come up with 10 pass interceptions and 3 TD’s to turn back many opponents’ drives.

Northwestern 24 Milton 7 The Trojans dumped Milton 24-7, to avenge last year’s loss in the conference championship game. Bode and Hahm got together on a 20 yard scoring pass to get the Trojans rolling. Halvarson’s 11 yard field goal in the closing seconds of the first half stretched the lead to 10-0. A touch down late in the third quarter put the Wild cats within striking range, but a few min utes later Schwartz’s 58 yard run put Northwestern in charge for good. In one of the picture plays of the season he broke through the right side of the line, cut to the opposite sideline behind his blockers, and ran over the last two tacklers himself to score standing up. Toepel topped off the victory with a 1 yard plunge in the last minute of play. Milton moved freely in the middle of the field behind Grovesteen’s passing and some fine catches by the receivers, but the Trojan defense al ways stiffened to repulse their scoring drives.

The Trojans took advantage of the Eagles’ fumble on the opening kickoff. Marty Schwartz took a quick pitch 34 yards around left end for the score. The Trojan offense sputtered most of the first half, and St. Procopius cashed in on a pair of NWC fumbles for their only score of the game. In the sec ond quarter Toepel sparked a 65 yard drive for the Trojans, capping it with a 1 yard dive. The second half was another story as the Eagles began to lose heart, then fell apart in the fourth quarter. When Schwartz found his hole in the middle blocked, he slid off and circled the opposite end, a maneuver that paid off with a 33 yard touchdown. St. Proco’s comeback drive was thwarted by Tom Liesener’s 90 yard runback of an inter cepted pass. Verlyn Dobberstein’s 35 yard punt return and Fritz Hackbarth’s 13 yard screen pass rounded out the Trojan scor ing.

Northwestern 34 Northland 8 The Trojans made the long trip to Ashland pay off by spoiling Northland’s homecoming, 34-8. The Trojans settled the contest early, methodically moving to a 28-0 lead before Northland began to toughen up. Good downfield blocking re peatedly sprung backs for long gains. Marty Schwartz opened the scoring with a 21 yard run around left end. When the Trojans were stopped for two plays, a long pass from Toepel to Hahm put the ball in position for another touchdown run by Schwartz, this one a 7 yard slant off right tackle. NWC was hit by a wave of penal ties and several long gains were nullified, but the Trojans kept bouncing back. Dave Toepel finally settled the matter with a 59 yard run through the middle of the line. Minutes later Toepel scored again from 23 yards out. The Jacks picked up a two point safety late in the half on an attemp ted quick kick from Northwestern’s end zone. The defense turned in another strong performance.

Lakeland 20 Northwestern 25 The Trojans took a big step toward the Gateway Conference championship with a 25-20 homecoming victory over the Lake land Muskies. NWC scored the first time they had the ball. Ron Hahm’s 4 yard run completed the drive. The Muskies came right back on Richert’s 18 yard run. When the Trojans had a fourth and one situation on the 50 yard line, Lakeland crowded the middle to stop Toepel and were caught by surprise when Schwartz circled the end for the touchdown. Lakeland jumped into the lead on a 60 yard pass to Zipperer and Wagner’s conversion, but their joy was short lived. A minute later Toepel put the Trojans ahead to stay with a 40-yard scoring strike to Hahm. The winning touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a six yard run by Verlyn Dobberstein. no

Other big plays in the series were a 30 yard run by Marty Schwartz and a key fourth down pass reception by Klu Sievert. After Lakelands next TD, the Trojans con trolled the ball long enough to run out the clock. A key factor in the victory was the play of the defense in the first half. Lakeland recovered four fumbles, but con verted only one to a score.

The Three Shepherds

! ' :■

Shepherds, we paced the death-drawn night When earthly our flocks, and black des pair Our only frame of hope. So shepherds on the finger-strings of fate, We bobbed and danced As ever we checked the wind with iceribbed coats. Our sheep were our fortune; Our joy, in their worth; Our lifeblood, sustained in the bones. And all as vain and crisp as tl icing r-.es and That gossamerlike skirts the stones. But hold! What form, wh faraway sun Fixes the earth with her pen. •:£ light? 0 God, shall we die? Shall our sheep and we die, e bread Stretched and snapp’d by the fc hears of night? But while a moment! Voices. The heavens are angels and praise to the Lord And Glory to God in the Highest. Voices, Voices of peace, not voices of death. The voice of our shield, not the voice of the sword. And the star! Why, it’s moving — there. Here, boy, tend to our sheep when we leave. Now comrades, your staves to Bethlehem town And the star’s final ray; We’ve nothing to fear, but all joy to receive. J. T.

Luthers Weihnachts Predigten

Luther hat die Predigten fuer das Volk geschrieben und vor ihm gepredigt. Der Bauer und der Handwerker hoerten die Wunder Gottes in der Sprache, der sie gewohnt waren und die sie leicht verstanden. Es ist wenig von der Sprache der Gelehrten daran zu finden. Zu dieser Zeit lobt man Luther oft und viel, und man bekuemmert sich um die Ereignisse seines Lebens. Seine Sohriften liest man aber nicht, wenigstens zur Unterweisung und zur Andacht nicht. Es ist fraglich, ob man Luthers Leben oder Luthers Lehre fuer wichtiger haelt. Es hilft uns wenig, ueber sein Leben Bescheid zu wissen; seine Lehre aber staerkt unsem Glauben, denn sie ist die Lehre der Schrift. Zur Privatandacht findet man m. E. nichts besseres als Luthers Predigten, ausgenommen die Heilige Schrift selbst. (Die Anfuehrungen sind aus Luthers Saemtliche Schriften, St.LouiserAusgabe.)

migkeit. Ist bei mir Tod und alles Unglueck, so finde ich bei diesem KindJein das Leben und alles Gute. Und das ist so gewiss, als saehe ich’s schon vor mir mit meinen Augen. Das heisst zugreifen, wenn wir durch den Glauben uns diesen Schatz nuetze machen.” Luther erklaert manchen schweren Spruch, wie z. B. Jes. 9, 3: „Du machest der Heiden viel, damit machest du der Freuden nicht viel.” Wie stimmt das mit dieser Freudenbotschaft uebcrein? Nach Luthers Auslegung soil bei den unglaeubigen, widerwaertigen Juden und Heiden keine Freude an der Geburt des Ileilandes sein. Luther begreift viel, war wir oft nur zu eilig uebersehen oder worauf wir nicht genau achten, z. B., die Bt - vhreibung der Reise von Nazareth nacli r>.- Milehem und des Stalles, in dem Christ;.- .eboren wurde.

her, but, you know, . . . politics. Antony might not understand. Then things went bad. His favorite wife turned on him. But the boss really showed his stuff. He’s quite a guy — no one gets the best of him. The boss gave her a fair trial and executed her. I never understood for just what. It bothered him, though. He would run off into the desert and fortune himself. Poor guy, he really got sick for a while. The situation got worse. His wives — he has ten now — were always scheming. He even had to execute three of his favor ite sons. At least I always stayed true. He knows it too. One by one my friends were caught, the idiots, till I was the only one left. Really, I just used diplomacy — al ways stick with the strongest. So I’m safe and in power. I hope my son can follow me. I’U start him out early. It’ll be a while yet, though. He’s only one year old. We still have good times. The boss has become interested in athletics. We hold regular games for Caesar in the Capi tol. Say, you should see our Capitol! We built a brand-new city, you know, and what a palace! The boss also re-establish ed the Olympic games in Greece. He’s really popular over there. He’s built sev eral temples for their gods — even one in Athens.

I still have high-.- hopes, though if not for myself, at leas; for my son. He’s only a little tyke now, but someday... The boss started out as a commoner too, you know. Don’t get me wrong. I’d never do a thing against my boss — but he’s old, and after him who knows? I’ve been with him from the start — I became his page when I was only five. He wasn’t much then, just a general. But a couple of victories, a trip to Rome, and we were in power. Those were the good times. I remember when Caesar visited. Wow, was that a party — food, wine, wo men. . . everything! The boss went all out, and it really paid off. Old Caesar gave him more territory. . . . The boss could really handle it then, too. All you have to do is take a couple cities and exe cute a few leaders, then you’re in for good. He was a foxy one, too. Cleopatra tried to seduce him once. He told me so — I was his personal attendant then. She threw all the charm at him, but the old rascal saw right through her. She just want ed his land. The boss was going to kill 115

However, the boss hasn’t been himself the last couple months. His subjects have him worried. They never did like him — it’s something about their silly religion. And he did so much for them. He even built a big new Temple — not to mention the peace, wealth, and good government. They must have everything just their way. Now they’re planning to set up a new king. It’s silly. He was just bom and al ready they’re worshiping him. As I said, I’m safe, but my wife wor ries so. She gets all upset and nervous.

I had to send her away on a vacation. She’s with her parents in Bethlehem — with my son. He looks just like me — big and strong. Well, soon I’ll see him again, soon this mess will be over. It’s probably just as well that they're gone. Herod’s really mad, especially since those Eastern guys never returned. I’m sure he has the problem all worked out, though, and he’ll come up with something big. Then everything will be okay again. j. v.

television serial, but somehow we know that back in America he’s going to blun der back into his old ways. Herzog, by far Bellow’s most brilliant novel, while not nearly as fantastic, pene trates and searches an individual person ality even more. Here is a man, Moses Herzog, a professor, a Ph.D., who has been turned out of his home and now seeks to build a new life out of the rubble of his wrecked marriage. Herzog is a man of our time, a man very much alive today. Bellow is able to make him so vivid thru the use of local color and true-to-life situ ations that we can only smile at his reali-

Moses Herzog has been the victim of his highly ambitious wife. He has been deceived by his best friend and is now left in utter emotional desolation. We meet this sensitive, self-centered, wildly comic character by means of the workings of his mind. Herzog’s mind is really the center of the book. When thinking, Her zog can just as easily say “I” as Bellow can say “Herzog.” We get nothing second hand. Bellow doesn’t tell us that Herzog is extremely knowledgeable in nearly every field from political science to philosophy and great literature; we know that from just listen ing him. Yet we are at the mercy of his primitive feelings. His story comes out in fragments and in whatever order they are suggested or occur to him, so that we must piece it together.

Herzog is always finding time to write letters, even while on the subway. He ad dresses these burning scraps of thought, which he will never mail, to Eisenhower, Hegel, old girl friends, his dead mother, and a host of great men, both living and dead. To Adlai Stevenson he writes: “I supported you in 1952. Like many others I thought this country might be ready for its great age in the world and intelligence at last assert itself in public affairs. . . But the instinct of the people was to reject mentality and its images, ideas. . . The general won because he expressed lowgrade universal potato love.” But whether he writes to Nietzsche or the credit depart ment of Marshall Field, his letters are fas cinating and informative. They reveal the operations of a well-stocked mind and are an education in themselves. Seeking some legal information, Her zog spends a day in court and there is so sickened by divorce cases and a testimony on the murder of a child by its crippled mother and lover that he runs off to Chi cago. He sees himself not only as the survivor of his private disasters, but also of the disasters of our modern age. Act ually, the whole book is a commentary on the wildness, foolishness, and instability of our civilization. Herzog ranges learned ly over all the dilemmas of 20th Century man. In Chicago, held by police follow ing a minor auto accident, he continues to meditate: “But what is the philosophy of this generation? Not God is dead, that point was passed long ago. . . This gener ation thinks- and this is the thought of thoughts — that nothing faithful, vulner able, fragile can be durable or have any true power." Herzog is by no means an easy novel. It is a challenging and demanding book. But because it demands more, it also has much more to offer. It is an exciting and intellectual experience. Bellow’s triumph is the creation of a form of novel in which ideas are important. Those looking for sensationalism and moral nihilism will find nothing satisfactory in Saul Bellow. Accepting the National Book Award, Bel low himself said, “There is nothing left for us novelists to do but think. For un less we think, unless we make a clearer estimate of our condition, we will continue to write kid stuff, to fail in our function.”

rn heatricalism today, according to critic John Gassner, exists in four forms in the American theater: musicals, pag eant dramas, the epic theater, and the theater of the absurd. Musicals and pag eants are readily seen to be theatricalism by their essentially imaginative and cre ative nature; they make no attempt at be ing credibly realistic. Epic theater may be compared to documentary in movies. It consists of a series of scenes, which may in themselves be realistic, but because of their loosely connected nature cannot be classified as realism. They often cover ex tensive stretches of time and space. One epic drama recounts the underground re sistance to the Nazis all over Europe dur ing the whole of World War II! Often a narrator is present to join the parts of the play and to relate them to the audience. Bertholt Brecht, a German playwright, was the foremost supporter of this dramatic form. The theater of the absurd is the fourth and the least understood form of modern theatricalism.

realistic. Imagination, creativeness, and self-expression are the key concepts in the atricalism; the exponents of the theory want to make the fullest possible use of the theater and its capabilities. Beginning with Strindberg’s expressionistic plays in the 1890’s, theatricalism has existed side by side with realism for seventy years. A playwright will often switch from one form to another, and the best plays are a combination of the two dramatic forms. Realism is enriched with imagination, and theatricalism is reinforced by realism. In the contemporary American theater the great realistic writers are Arthur Mil ler, Tennessee Williams, and William Inge and behind them all, Eugene O’Neill. Al though they are all essentially realists, they have adopted many of the ideas of theatricalism, and their plays all portray, to a greater or lesser extent theatrical con cepts. The most com me complaints against the modern Amt . realists are that they don’t portray tb, ility of man and that they only weak!'. ne io grips with the problems of th •ndern world. Their plays are people?' h “southern psychopaths and northc urotics,” ac cording to the Broadwt oducer Law rence Langner. The rea’i v more concerned with sex and si' : aberrations than with the larger aspe: ; life. When they try to deal with the . . blcms of mo dern man, they fail to drive their points home. Their ideas don't come off the front porch into the wider world. Of course, there are many recent realistic plays that do not deserve this indictment of being es capist drama on trivial subjects, but in the wider realms of the American realistic theater, these complaints are valid. A recent example of the American realistic theater, which ran off-Broadway last year, is “The Toilet” by LeRoi Jones, an American Negro. The play takes place in the lavatory of a boy’s high school. Time magazine reported of it that “the dialogue is air pollution of the highest scatological and pornographic density ever recorded on a United States stage.” The theme is simple: The Negroes are going to get back at .the whites for the indigniUes they have suffered at their hands. Verbal and physical violence cover the stage, And this is too often the nature of the American realistic theater.

Jean Genet introduces his play, ‘The Blacks,” with the following preface: “One evening an actor asked me to write a play for an all-black cast. But what exactly is a black? First of all, what’s his color?” A dialogue in Samuel Beckett’s play,‘Wait ing for Godot”, runs: Estragon: I am happy. Vladimir: So am I. Estragon: So am I. Vladimir: We are happy. Estragon: We are happy. (Silence) What do we do now that we are happy?

ment, a corpse that grows and grows, un til it pushes open the connecting door with its foot and floats away like a bal loon. This is the theater of the absurd — theater stretched to its limits, reason over thrown, but some of the most probing drama now written. According to Edward Albee, the foremost American absurdist, although he neither likes the term absur dism nor appreciates being called a mem ber of the movement, the theater of the absurd deals “with man’s attempts to make sense for himself out of his senseless po sition in a world which makes no sense — which makes no sense because the moral, religious, political and social structures man has erected to ‘illusion’ himself have collapsed.” The theater of the absurd, al so known as experimental theater and avant garde theater, wants to shock the bourgeois and slam the establishment. It wants to show the absurdity of life when God is absent and God-bereft man is left empty; in this respect it claims kinship with existentialism. It tries to come to grips with deep metaphysical problems of the modern world: man’s total aloneness in an alien world, in which he can no longer orientate himself, in which com munication between people is no longer possible, in which the old values are shown to be deluding shams — an existence that is totally negative and utterly hopeless. In an effort to reflect this chaos in the world, the absurdists usually present their plays in anarchic uproar. The established practices of having acts and scenes are forgotten; the plays have neither begin ning, middle, nor end; characters don't develop and plot doesn’t advance. All that is important is the message, if it can be located in the mess. And yet the absur dist theater, again according to Albee, is “free-swinging, bold, iconoclastic and of ten wildly, wildly funny.” Absurdism as a movement began about a decade ago. Its chief exponents are the American Edward Albee, the Irish man Samuel Beckett, and the Frenchmen Jean Genet and Eugene Ionesco. As a movement it has spread across the world, from Seattle to Poland. Absurdism is cur rently the center of much controversy. Is it only a fad which will soon be absorbed into the mainstreams of drama? Or is it here'to stay,-a permanent contribution to

the theater? In either case absurdism is a most entertaining, lively, and important contribution to drama. Other types of drama are exerting their influence on the American scene. One increasingly prevalent form is church dra ma. Churches are presenting plays in an effort to relate religion to contemporary life and to attract young people to the church. The plays are sometimes present ed with jazz accompaniment. Children’s theater is a flourishing attempt to intro duce children to the theater. Drama is al so being used in psychiatry. Psychodrama is a form of group therapy in which men tal patients act out their desires, hatreds and terrors in an effort to relive and thus relieve them. The most esoteric form of drama now being presented is the “hap pening.” The “happening” is supposed to be opening the curtain on the horrors of our modern world. In it anything goes; there is no unifying element. It is im provised, wild and wacky, total theater. •piiE goal of every playwright and actor ^ and director is still Broadway. The best in American theater is being achieved on the “Great White Way.” Yet the caliber of the plays being produced on Broadway is steadily lowering. Skyrocketing pro duction costs and a dearth of top quality domestic drama are steadily forcing Broad way to rely on musicals and hit produc tions that have been imported from Eng land or off-Broadway, popular pap with box office appeal, plays that will draw the crowds. And with good reason. In the 1964-1965 theater season no domestic drama and no imported plays, serious or comic, were profitable. Only some of the musicals returned a profit to their inves tors. Until Broadway is reformed or sub sidized, it will remain, as Time put it, “in tellectually, the Great American Desert. Broadway’s place as the champion of contemporary serious drama is being tak en by off-Broadway and the repertory thea ters. Off-Broadway as a force in the Ameri can theater began about 1952. Since then off-Broadway has become the most en thusiastic supporter of American serious drama and of the absurdist playwrights. Again, financial problems are a hindrance; about ninety-five per cent of off-Broad way productions end up in the red.

The repertory theater is the most re cent and the most promising development in the American theater. The ideal of the repertory theater is to dust off the old classics in periodic revivals and to cham pion the new experimental plays — the plays the commercial theater is unwilling and unable to present. The repertory the ater is able to do this chiefly because it is heavily subsidized by private foundations; the Ford Foundation gave about seven million dollars to repertory theaters last year. The idea of the repertory company has spread across the United States, and major permanent repertory theaters are located in New York, Seattle, San Fran cisco, Memphis, Houston, Dallas, Okla homa City, Washington, Minneapolis, and Milwaukee. Through their activities in re viving the best plays of all ages and in championing the best contemporary wri ters, presenting their works even before Broadway or off-Broadu > production, the repertory theaters are Incoming a major force in the American ; .iter. Many ex perienced actors, director -id playwrights are using their talents i making the re pertory theater some o' ic best theater in the United States, a the audiences are responding to that mg theater. Other forms of coni nporary theater are the road company, tin stock company, community theater, and university theat er. Road companies, made up of New York actors, present Broadway shows across the country, either in pre-Broadway tryouts or in post-Broadway capitalizing on the show’s success. Stock companies, which used to bring plays like “Ben Hur’’ and “Rip Van Winkle” to the masses in nation-wide tours, now are mostly limited to summer theater presentation of popular Broadway fare. Community theaters put on amateur or semi-professional shows — Broadway hits and second rate melodram-

as and comedies. University theaters use students to present a mixed bag of drama as varied as that put on by the repertory theater. In addition periodic festivals keep Shakespeare’s prestige high. In keeping with the trends of change in the theater, stage architecture and the atrical techniques are evolving into new patterns. Instead of the box or prosceni um type stage, theater-in-the-round, in which the stage is entirely surrounded by the audience, and the arena-theater, with three-quarter encirclement by the audi ence, have been developed. In staging the trend is to eliminate scenery as much as possible, and to suggest the scene by the use of props, as was done in the Elizabeth an theater. Greek masks and Elizabethan asides are being used for psychological overtones.

n-i he American theater of today is in a complex state of ferment and develop ment. More people in more cities are see ing more plays of better quality and have a better understanding of what they see than at any previous time in the history of the American theater. But most pro fessional theaters are in financial trouble and are in need of government subsidy. And meanwhile new dramatic ideas are entering the American theater and chang ing it for all time. Still, the theater will always be with us, presenting, as it does, its double mask of laughter and tears.

Is it not a noble farce, wherein Kings, republics, and emperors have for so many ages played their parts, and to which the zvhole vast universe serves for a theatre? Montaigne 121

Art and Impressionism T^ividing art into schools is a process U which facilitates the appreciation of art — to a point. When the viewer gets beyond this point, it is a noteworthy achievement. A good artist who has worked and died has done what he could. The rest is in the hands of history and the viewer. The viewer has a responsibility either to try to understand his paintings (very much as one “understands” a musi cal work or written material) or not to try, but to hold his peace. It is all too easy for a man to walk into a gallery when he has nothing better to do, and expect a painting to be enjoyable to him. Often he leaves the gallery with some rapidly form ed opinions to toss to his friends or at anyone that has an interest in art, especi ally “modem art.” Let all art lovers concede, state, shout, that there are today many poor, incompe tent, barely able artists, who are wasting tons of expensive oil paints, tempera, wa ter color, acrylic, and finger paints. Let all art lovers add that, however true this may be, hidden somewhere among the pop greats, the messy greats, even among the local celebrities, there are maybe a handful of good, even great artists. Let everyone know that to determine who these select are should never be an end in itself. , '

is a school; and the more I mpressionism specifically one defines impressionism, the fewer are the artists who belong to the school. If the viewer studies impression ism long enough, he may well love the school and ignore the pupils, a danger for any pedant. Impressionism is a form of sensualism, using litde if any line, where even form begins to suffer to a varying degree. Through an exact analysis of tone and color, and through the play of light on the surfaces of objects, impressionism offers a beautiful, fleeting, sensuous im pression of the beauty of water, trees, houses, fog and smoke. A weakness of impressionism is exag geration, which can be seen even in the works of such prominent artists as Renoir and Mary Cassatt. A few of Renoir’s paint ings place undue emphasis on sweetness, approaching sentimentality. More of Mary

Cassatt’s paintings tend to make the view er bubble over with motherly love or feel ings of “isn’t that touching?” Art should be beautiful forever, but it was never meant to be touching for very long. Fortunately, both of these artists are very good, and this sentimentality appears only as a slight nuisance in the appreciation of a few of their paintings. You may be curious as to just who this Mary Cassatt was. As you probably guess ed, she was an American (otherwise her name would have been Marie). She was born in Pittsburgh, died in 1926, and had no particular traits of personality except that she was rich. She studied painting in Paris, exhibited with Degas and the im pressionists, and persuaded her friends back in the States to buy impressionistic paintings. To her enthusiasm we owe the fine collection of European impressionis tic paintings here in the United States. The chief technique used in impres sionism is scumbling. One takes paint, often pure color as it comes from the tube, and applies it to the can >, as, wood, or what have you with a brush palette knife, or finger (in all seriousness, these methods are very arbitrary). Ti* desired colors of the same value are ust ally next to each other. Then you may or may not mix them a little on the painting. Say you are going to paint a huge twelve by forty foot pond with lilies. You may want to devote a six by seven inch space in the upper left hand corner to a certain lily leaf. You have already become a master at this technique. You put down the desired greens, yellows, blues, and maybe a few reds or oranges for contrast — under the guise of reflection. Assuming that the en tire leaf lis in the same light, all your colors (with the possible exception of the con trasting colors) should be of approximate ly the same value. The result is a shim mering, greenish six by seven inch lily leaf in the upper left hand corner of your twelve by forty foot lily pond. ^ow that you have had an unseeing glimpse of impressionism as a school, visit the Art Institute in Chicago and look at several works as paintings by individual artists. Then go back and look at them as individual paintings. Keep in mind the various elements of art: line, volume, space, form, texture, color, and how the 122

On his twentieth birthday, to spite his father’s assistance, he enlisted in the Chas seurs d’Afrique, was accepted and sent off to Algiers. Monet returned in 1862. He had been sent back after a serious fever and was given a six months leave. At this juncture he was introduced to Johan-Barthold Jongkind, the foremost seascape artist of the time. The result of the meeting with Jongkind was soon apparent. In November Monet left Le Havre, not to return to Al giers but the Beaux-Arts in Paris. After several false starts Monet was finally on his way to a career and greatness.

artist uses them. Look for the three as pects to color: shade, intensity, and value. The shade describes which the color is, red, yellow, blue, etc. The intensity tells how bright the color is. The value tells how light or dark a color is. A black and white photo will indicate the relative val ues of the colors of a painting. The dictionary defines culture as a de velopment or improvement by education or training. A painting can bring some thing to you only if you bring something to yourself. So, ‘‘don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it!”

In summer of the next year he announced his inten tion of becoming a landscape painter and encouraged by Boudin, asked for a grant to study in Paris.

Water Lilies — 1899

■KiTONET was the painter of series, and the ■M- first of these, the Gare Saint Lazare at Paris, was done in 1876. This was the Argenteuil period, perhaps the most naive of impressionism, (when brighter colors began to replace the somber moods of pre vious generations, although the concepts of shape and form were still adhered to) Monet had just completed near the Seine some of the most successful works of the then infant form of painting. What made the artist change his study from this pas toral scene to that rugged railroad termi nal is unknown. Perhaps, it was this very lack of picturesque subject matter which attracted him. The Gare Saint Lazare of fered him the opportunity to study an ev en more elusive element than water, the smoke from engines. 123

The term “free” series has been simi larly applied to these works as to the “Break-up of the Ice” paintings which Mo net did at Vetheuil in 1880. Ten years later the "systematic” series appeared, the most significant of which was the Rouen Cathedral. The series is composed of more than twenty variations, always featuring the same facade, seen from the same angle. The importance of this series is that it best expresses Monet’s total outlook on subject matter as affected by nature. The essential thing for him was not the subject itself, but rather the effect it produced at different hours of the day, in fair and cloudy weather, in clear air or in fog. The cathedral at times is reduced to a subtly colored indication with only the barest implication of its weight and substance as a structure. The blotting out of the shape itself is also pronounced in the series Monet paint ed of the Houses of Parliament in London at the beginning of the century. Surround-

ed by either a blue or purplish fog in which the sun dissolves itself into sub dued areas of yellow, the building appears as a mere whisper of form. In 1899, when he began painting his Water-lilies, the content still centered around nature. The water garden which he designed on his property at Givemy pro vided him with his subject matter. The water-lilies, weeping willows, and other plant life, appear as vague patterns and tangles of color, which though often stand ing alone have a feeling of solidity and self-sufficiency. At the end of his life Monet was far from realism, and perhaps even far re moved from impressionism of the Argenteuil period. Many of the abstract forms of expression which he suggested are pre valent today. This may be a prime reason why his work has recently enjoyed a peri od of renewed interest after being neglect ed for more geometric forms of painting. JOHN WENDLAND, *68

Yet Seurat’s structure was not only for mal, but also expressive. The artist writes: 1 - Gaiety [is expressed by] luminous. dominant, warm colors and lines rising from the horizontal. 2 - Repose [is expressed by ] balance between light and dark, between warm and cold, and the horizontal. 3 - Sadness [is expressed by] dark, dominant, cold colors, and descend ing lines. ttis use

of color is what really separated him from the impressionists. Instead of painting with strokes, he initiated a technique known as “Pointillism” or “Dot painting.” He worked only with the seven prismatic colors. He made these dots as small as possible and placed them together in a coldly calculated fashion. In effect, he reduced the various shades and tints to proportional specks of their primary and secondary components. He takes the colors apart, and the observer’s retina is given the task of putting them back to gether. Seurat’s austere • of color and “har mony of lines” are gr« achievements in themselves, but as s . ihey do not rise nee. So the artist above the level of saw to it that they d • remain separate entities in his wor! He does not only combine the two to ■ b an “art of har mony,” but he also ordinates them to the emotion. He pla\ :th his color scale, proceeds from contra. to contrast, and goes through a series of modulations un til the picture is complete. He artfully and rhythmically arranges his seven colors much as a composer arranges the seven notes of his scale. The most important, or rather the most famous painting that Seurat produced is A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (the one reprinted with this article). He began work on it in 1884, and some twenty drawings and thirty sketches fell from his easel before its completion in the spring of 1886. Note the solemn overtone in the picture built up on a foun dation of horizontals and verticals, com plemented by the contrasting curves of the sunshades and sails. Still the color is the most important single feature, and you can see this any time at the Chicago Institute of Art, the present owner of the original. 125

Other important paintings that are ascribed to Seurat are Bathing at Asnieres (1884), Courbevoie Bridge (1873), Chahut (1890), and The Circus (1891) which he completed only three weeks before his death on March 29 of the same year. Of all the impressionists and neo-im pressionists, Georges Seurat was probably the clearest indication of the direction that Twentieth Century art would take. His work served as a springboard for the Fauves, the Sdjl group, the Futurists, and the Bauhaus painters. And by all the evi dences that we have, Seurat will remain in history for quite some time as one of j. t. the great artists of our era.

What glory is there in becoming a pastor in such a small synod? Besides this, the synod needs pastors — lots of them; hence, they have to put students through. There’s little danger of flunking out after the sec ond year. Why put oneself out when it’s possible to get through with the minimum? NWC is just a feeder-school for the Sem anyway. For those who really want to be come pastors, their goal is so far off that they take little pride in what they do at NWC. And there are the languages. . . how often don’t we hear that pastors don’t use them anyway? How often don’t we hear that NWC is the bottle-neck of the synod? These are some of the thoughts that go through students' minds, and soon nothing is important to them anymore. The result is sloppy preparation, lack of co-operation, and discipline problems. This mbs the faculty the wrong way; and as one group responds to the other, things get worse.

Faculty - Student Enigma T ast month’s student poll revealed that ■L-1 .the majority of students listed poor faculty-student relations as the most un favorable aspect of NWC. Lately, the preps asked the faculty for permission to set up a student council to improve communica tions between the two groups. Both of these incidents indicate that the two groups are not very close. There is the desire, how ever, that something be done about it. The faculty is aware of the situation and has tried to do something about it in the past. At one time each professor was to invite a group of students over to his house for a party. This took place several times during the year. Gradually, only certain people got invitations, and the rest sat in the dorm. Some of the professors became disgruntled because they couldn’t afford it; others did not enjoy entertain ing. They soon dropped the practice; it wasn’t the answer to the problem. Later, members of the faculty ate in the din ing hall once or twice a week. This idea didn’t work either. These attempts to improve relations were artificial and ineffective because they didn’t come to grips with the causes for the rift. Students complain about the aloofness of the faculty, their disinterest in student opinion, faculty partiality, and poor classroom presentation. On the other hand, the faculty is displeased with the student because he does not prepare for classes adequately, because he seems to try to pull something over on them, and because he has no interest. Each side has its gripes and inflames the other enough to keep the old rift intact. No amount of socializing will cure the problem.

A large part of the blame lies upon the student’s response to their environment. It is their lax attitude toward learning that causes so much trouble; we may even expand this lack of enthusiasm to include their attitude toward the school in gener al. NWC is so small and gives so little glory to the individual; what does it mean to graduate from such a place? NWC isn’t good enough for many of our students. How can they be expected to be eager to learn and to cooperate in other activities?

foregoing para On the basis of graph, we may concl-that the school itself, its function, its riculum, the at titude of certain alum, toward the school are all factors that pi • into the “bad at titude” of the student. ,r these things are indirect causes of poo relations, and if we have to alleviate : cm to solve the problem, what can we do? Changing these factors is quite an impossible task, isn’t it? Some philosopher;, say that a place is what each one makes it. If the place can’t be changed, maybe the answer lies within each of us — the attitude we devel op toward NWC. Think what a change we could effect, if we all would really want to learn, if we would take a brighter view more often, if we wouldn’t let such discouraging thoughts mentioned above get us down. I am sure we would have no trouble with the faculty. The faculty is all too willing to accept students who will give them a square deal, to listen to their ideas, to treat them with respect. The big gest part in gaining respect is to earn it. How many of us students can really say that we deserve any better treatment?

126

What do students think is wrong with the faculty? One student remarked dur ing an interview, “Why don’t you tell them to get off their high-horse?” Students do not attempt to deny that a relationship of subordinate to superior exists between

them; however, they would like to be treat ed with less emphasis on this social dis parity. Students charge that the faculty treats them in a condescending manner, that they seem reluctant to have students visit them or consult with them about per sonal problems. The faculty isolates itself and resists exposure to personal relation ships with students. New Ulm and Sagi naw students say that the faculties there are much more interested in student pro blems and affairs. They sit in on class meetings, have consultation periods, and come to all school affairs. Here this isn’t true. Why does the faculty act this way? The faculty is a group of individuals who are concerned about the respect and honor due them. At the same time some are de fensive; they aren’t sure of how they stand with the students or their peers. Most of them come to us trained as pas tors and are thrown into their subjects. They are subject to Me merciless criti cism of the NWC stud ; . None of them wants to be known a- bad teacher or as one who can’t contrc; ms classes. When students act out of : the thought always occurs, “Am ung a good job?” or “Are things gettin of hand?” The natural reaction to tin <.-■ to interpret this as dislike or disrespec on the part of the student. Actually this aloofness or isola tion maybe is a result oi fear and lack of confidence in themselves. The easiest way to control students is to avoid familiarity with them, a policy that the pharaohs of EgyP1 followed. At Your Canteen What do students mean when they want better student relations? Most stu dents want to be treated with more re spect for their adulthood even though it doesn’t show all the time. They would like to think that the faculty considers their desires and opinions important en ough to consult before acting upon meas ures that concern them. They would like them to be cordial though not really “bud dy-buddy.” There should be a difference between classroom and the casual rela tionships of football games, Forum pro ductions, encounters in the hall and on THE STUDENT'S CHOICE the street. They don’t want parties; they Our Greatest Asset Is Your Satisfaction know the faculty doesn’t want them either.

Tn 1934 the football picture at NWC had * begun to take a turn for the better af ter the gloom of the twenties, but disor ganization was still apparent, since the students were forced to provide much of their own coaching. In 1935 this difficul ty was removed by the arrival of Leonard Umnus as athletic director. His leader ship over the next thirty years was the ingredient necessary to convert the exist ing spirit and potential to solid perform ance. Coach Umnus came to Northwestern well prepared in coaching and athletic ex perience, as well as in education.

Football is for fun, and the fun and satisfaction come from running and hit ting hard. If the players Jike to hit, vic tories and the respect oi other teams will take care of themselves. The chatter and spark Coach adds to pra ee are the most important factor in tin. development of this feeling in Northwest, n s teams. When the necessary routine ol eking and tack ling drills is starting u ivag, he can be counted on to perk them np and get minds pointed toward Saturday's game. His dem onstrations of the “ground block” and “how not to lead interference” are the best encouragements to do things the right way. A marked improvement in Mullen’s malt business indicates the interest he shares with his players in the outcome of the weekly NFL games. Some change of pace is regularly injected to break up the dullness of routine. Instead of being noth ing more than ‘cals’ on the hard gym floor a rainy day is enlivened by the addition of Indian wrestling, shadow boxing, and oth er games. Even Coach receives an occa sional surprise and is as baffled as Gut by Gosdeck’s ability to throw a bloody nose punch in the knee cap. Coach’s knack for making practice more enjoyable re flects itself strongly in the spirit and de sire of his teams. The best thing Coach has given North western and his players is not the winning tradition, but an idea of school spirit and purpose that goes far beyond football. He has never hesitated to let the students

know about any action or sloppiness which he feels cheapens the campus or in any way lowers the school in the eyes of others. He never forgets the real reason we are here and often reminds players of the day when they will be in the ministry. His dedication to the real purpose of the school is proof that a successful athletic program depends more on work and devotion than money. Northwestern owes Coach Umnus its greatest thanks, and congratulations on another conference championship in this, his thirtieth year at Northwestern.

Toepel’s four touchdowns and 240 yards rushing moved him past the injured Marty Schwartz for the conference rush ing and scoring titles. Toepel finished the year with 820 yards in 129 attempts and 55 points. Schwartz had 783 yards in 84 attempts, and 54 points.

Basketball Preview

Football The Trojans capped their season with a 47-6 rout of U. I. C. The victory gave Northwestern a 6-1 season record and the Gateway Conference championship. The only loss was a 14-13 setback at the hands of Stout, the top-ranked college team in the state of Wisconsin.

The Trojans turned out for the 65-66 basketball season long on experience but short on height. Ron Hahm and Paul Kelm are expected to pace the squad as Senior co-captains. Roger Kobleske and Dennis Halvarson are the other lettermen back from last year’s squad. The team is stren gthened by the return of Keith Schroeder and Verlyn Dobberstein after a year’s ab sence. Freshmen making their first ap pearance for the Trojans are Art KoepseU, Phil Koeninger, Steve Schwichtenberg, and Luther Lemke. Since rebounding could be a weakness, the defense will have to rely on hustle to prevent the high percen tage shots. The Trojans will likely use a fast break offense. The short time for pre paration will probably hinder this style of play in the early games. The Trojans face a rough start, meeting conference powers Lakeland, Milton, and Trinity before Christmas. Team morale is high, and it’s hoped that the same spirit and student support which boosted the Trojans to the Gateway football title will continue thru the basketball season.

The Trojans’ rushing attack complete ly dominated the first half, unhindered by muddy playing conditions and a rash of penalties. Toepel scored twice in the first quarter on runs of 3 and 26 yards. Jim Plitzuweit put the defensive team on the scoreboard with a runback of a Chicago fumble. The Chikas picked up their only score of the game in the second quarter, but the Trojans countered with touch downs by Toepel and Dobberstein to move Sem to a 34-6 halftime lead. U.I.C. came out The Trojans got the season off to the of the locker room fired up and determin ed to stop the runaway. They successful right start with a 86-72 victory over the ly contained the Trojans during the third Sem. Speed and a pressing defense en quarter, but Toepel and Dobberstein add- abled the Trojans to overcome the Sem’s 129

marked height advantage. Led by Dobberstein’s ballhawking, the Trojan defense came up with repeated steals and kept the ball away from Beckner and Henderson under the boards. Paul Kelm poured in 22 points to pace the Trojans, followed by Dobberstein with 17. Joel Prange led the Sem with 14.

A speedy, well-balanced Lakeland team dealt the Trojans their first loss of the season, 110-70. The Muskies employed a full court press to power to a 16-0 lead be fore the Trojans could get on the scoreboard. Northwestern finally got rolling behind the ballhandling and outside shoot ing of Dobberstein and rebounding of Halvarson. Lakeland showed a strong bench, continuing to score freely through out the game. Halvarson was most suc cessful in penetrating Lakeland de fense and settled down u lead the Trojans with 15 points. Kelm nd Dobberstein chipped in 14 apiece. Fi liman Art Koepsell turned in another good performance hitting for 10 points. The Trojans showed speed and scrap and looked promising, ex cept for the opening press and some in side shooting lapses.

d addroom Sing Ho! for these brave, exciting years, Three Cheers for our dining hall ration! Hurrah! for this cloistered life midst peers, But Thanks for Thanksgiving Vacation! About supper time, the day after a ty pical T-day (turkey day) evening at home, I was still sacked upstairs when the last lightning storm of the year moved in over the waterfront. The flashes stirred what ever is left of a brain after a week of pre vacation test-crammir • and when the thunder came, at once : as back at North western, in Room 10"' remembering our last B & R meeting. This had been a typical 9:45 p. m. post mortem on the last mourh’s copy. I had walked in all business 1 ith folio in one hand and Schmugge.ich radio, tuned to the Paterson-Clay ■:..Jit, in the other. After Ehlke arrived late, as usual, Paul commenced. “WeQl, has anyone heard favorable comments today? Yesterday? Anyone hear anything at all? . . . O.K., then we’ll get down to business. Keep the criticisms short and we’ll listen to the fight later. First of all, you did a good job on the cover, Cap. Now, anyone read the Letter To The Edi tor. . . ” “I liked it,” I said shortly. ‘That’s nice.” “And while we’re not on the subject,” I continued, “I’d like to say something about our columns, too.” “Yes?” “Rod is putting many jollies into his Alumni Column, so maybe I ought to try a change of pace too. I mean, some people can take only just so much riotous, ebul lient humor at one time. Maybe I ought to lay off for awhile?” Paul thought a moment. Then he turn ed to “Jake” Brug of Sports. “What did Gos have to say about C & C this time?” “Oh, he liked it!” 131

“Well, you heard him. So don't go mes sing with the C & C. And for speaking out of turn, you get to write News too. Un less Trapp put you up to this?” “OH NO, sir!” interrupted J. “Eator” Trapp. “But I agree that he can write the News too. Just think, after he does the News Briefs and the C & C Shorts, Zehms can get him an executive job at Klein’s!” I snapped out of a reverie and laughed along wtih the gang as they tried to ana lyze Mueller’s poem and decided that it was one of his best. Rod called to mind Prof. Kowalke’s reaction to a previous poem by Wayne, yclept Exin. “ ‘Hmmmm! ‘Ex.’ That means out of . . . and ‘In’ — in to. Out of ... in. I. . . don’t. . . get it!’ ” The meeting closed in discussion of the usual assignment sheet. “And as for your column, just remember that You can write with hidden meaning Or with meaning not at all. You can print a printing error And they think you’re on the ball. You can spin outrageous fables Till old Aesop throws a fit, But they’ll only make with laughter If they’re in the mood for it!” NWC Nimrods The week following the start of deer hunting was marked by a drastic curtail ment of the coeds’ busy social schedule. The boys seemed to prefer braving frost bite while on a chase different from that of lasses, or classes for that matter. The storm clouds had been lowering on the horizons for a month already as Everts and Anderson took a surprise fourday weekend to go pheasant hunting in Nebraska. Spitz and the boys were con tent to shoot up the environs of Watertown. And then you wonder why the rab bits take refuge on our campus? Northwestern turned out its share of the 400,000 nimrods who invaded the Wis consin woods in chase of half again as many deer. Tutor Leerssen went hunting one Sunday morning (early) with Brassow and Vogel. They met a small eightpointer at thirty paces, but after three rounds of soft-hearted artillery apiece, they allowed the buck to amble off scot free. The best story came from Hintz, who scored three or more confirmed hits in the head and neck, after which the deer jump-

spinning competitions were a smashing success. x' Proposed Winter Carnival entertain ment: “This is Your Northwestern.” Sound track optional.

Calls Accepted Pastor Donald Sellnow, ’50, accepted a call last June to teach psychology at Northwestern next semester. He has been taking several psychology courses at Osh kosh State this fall. In addition to psy chology, he may teach two divisions of Quinta religion, and an English or a his tory course. Pastor Sellnow served parishes in Ra pid City, South Dakota, and Menominee, Michigan, prior to accepting his latest call. He moved with his wife and three children to Oshkosh this summer and will move in to the Watertown home vacated by Profes sor Westerhaus during Christmas vacation. Pastor Paul Eickmann, Jr., ’50, has ac cepted a call to teach the Hebrew courses at Northwestern in the place of Professor Kowalke, who will retire in June. Pastor Eickmann may attend the University of Wisconsin next semester, perhaps moving to Madison with his family, while taking courses in Semitics. In the future he may take other language courses in which he is interested. Pastor Eickmann comes to us from Siloah congregation in Milwaukee. He has served two other parishes before Siloah, first in Geneva, Nebraska, and then in Crete, Illinois. He and Pastor Sellnow are

Discussion Series Sunday evening, November 21, Dr. Sullivan moderated a discussion on the “God Is Dead” cults in the college dorm reception room. He began with an intro ductory outline of the background of these cults: Buddhism, the more secularized Confucianism, and the practical atheism of the ancient Greeks. Dr. Sullivan then analyzed the attempts by our modern theo logian philosophers to build up man. Nietz sche, said Sullivan, believed that man’s will must be stressed as a law unto itself. After Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard came Tillich, “the father of all this,” who was still trying to pull himself up by his own boot straps. Then Dr. Sullivan introduced the ideas of several would-be theologians of our own day, including Hamilton, to 132

whom all concepts of sin and depravity are anathema. He concluded with the “new morality” of Robinson, that sin is an acceptable rebuff against the devil. Fol lowing this introduction, a long, lively discussion commenced as Dr. Sullivan an swered and enlarged on the inquiries of his audience. Sunday evening, December 5, Dean Leyrer lead a discussion in the reception room on Birth Control and the Christian. Birth control, he said, is not specifically referred to in the Bible. All Biblical prin ciples, however, lay a positive basis for its rejection. The three reasons for marriage are God's command to replenish the earth, God’s gift of a help meet for man, and marriage as an aid for keeping the Sixth Commandment. Children are gifts of God, and not to want them, barring a few high ly individual cases, said Dean Leyrer, is to refuse the gifts of God. More than two hours of discussion boiled down to this question: How much are you willing to trust the Lord in ■; ■ \mining the size and pattern of your . ? Questions centered on the validity of 'i purposes and means of birth control ssion carried on well into the night • dication of the interest exhibited

Debate Our debate team, captained by Dick Stadler, is still gathering material and en gaging in practice for two and three-team campus debates. Tentative practice meets are contemplated with Bethany, New Ulm, Ripon, Lakeland, or Marquette. By Febru ary, our debaters feel they will be pre pared for their first official meet, an invi tation from Oshkosh State. Hopefully, there will be two more official matches be fore June. Since last year’s meets were technically practice debates, the team this year is still eligible for intercollegiate com petition on the novice debate level of offici al debate. New Acquisitions The library has recently acquired an original Wittenberg Edition of Luther’s works. This twelve-volume set was the gift of the Pastor H. E. Paustian family of Barre Mills. The large, 9 x 12" volumes were printed by Hans Lufft in Wittenberg during the years 1539 to 1559.

Christmas Concert Following the traditional faculty-stu dent Christmas party in the dining hall Sunday evening, December 12, the stu dent music organizations directed by Pro Forum fessor Lehmann presented their annual On Wedm.-> vening, Nov. 17, a Christmas Concert. John Trapp directed choral reading up under the capable a brass ensemble which played carols be direction of Jo’i. Ibisch produced “The fore and during the concert. People” in the dir ng hall.

few clouds of dust there and maybe some stickmen with spears to make it seem more real.

For this issue only there will be no calls. In stead, we will print contributions submitted by our old grads. At the same time I urge all who received questionnaires to answer them — dis regard the deadline. We want to hear from you. One of the most heartening responses to our questionnaire was from a former Alumni Edi tor and present President of the Wisconsin Sy nod, Rev. 0. J. Naumann, ’31. Here are only a couple of the stories he tells. Prof. Oscar Siegler, ’37, has always had his troubles with being so short; such as the time he went out for football. The coach had a hard time finding a pair of pants small enough. He gave him the very smallest pair he could find, but Siegler still caught himself running up his pantleg. Then Pastor Naumann with tongue in cheek queries, “Is the rumor true that he never really did play football?”

Another story deals wtih Gerhard Peters, ’31. As it was, Gerhard was a favorite target for class raspberries. Never was he mischievous; he even played organ for chapel and led a hum ble life until one day when he saw some stu dents carrying away the organ pipes. This was just too much; he had to follow suit. But as fate would have it, just as he was emerging from the chapel with an armful of organ pipes, he bumped squarely into Professor Kowalke, who could do no more than utter a very sur prised, “Not you, Gerhard!”

This issue we are also privileged to feature drawings for the first time in the history of the Alumni Column. Our artist is Prof. W. Schu mann, ’12, who really admits that he isn’t the best at it, but we know of no one else who has produced more memorable drawings than he has. The top drawing is entitled the Battle of Cunexa, which all former Xenophon students should recognize. Those arrows indicate the di rection in which the armies moved; Professor Schumann suggests that you might imagine a

The bottom drawing is a satire of modern art. Professor Schumann calls it Hiawatha Go ing Through Watertown at 4:10. That line in the upper right-hand corner probably shouldn’t be there; it’s part of the Euphrates River. You will notice that there are two suns in the sky. The one toward the east should be crossed out be cause it’s 4:10, and then the sun is in the west. Both these drawings are good examples of the wry Schumann humor. Tomorrow Christmas vacation begins. It is a time toward which all NWC students look for ward. Dr. Kiessling, ’17, tells of one vacation which the students made sure they got, a vaca tion struck with the fear of death. I shall never forget the beginning of Christ mas vacation at NWC in my Sexta year because of an “epidemic” of scarlet fever. Vacation was to begin on a Tuesday. But the number of real or fancied cases of the disease had multiplied to such an extent by the preceding Saturday after noon that the Senior and Junior classes marched in a body to President Ernst's house (now Pro fessor Kirst’s residence) to demand that school be closed immediately. The request was refused. A wave of hysteria now swept through the student body. Those who had ; slight sore throat feared that they were about : -lie: the rest were sure that they would be quar. uined in the dorm over the holidays. Suddenly . roup of students appeared in the halls with ]„• «.l:ed suitcases an nouncing that they were goiiv tiome. That start ed a mass exodus. By Sundveiling only two of us remained behind — my roommate and I. He hadn’t received his fare money from home, and the trains didn’t run on Sunday to my home town. But on Monday morning when the “inspec tor,” Professor Martin Eickmann, woke us as usual by rapping his keys on our beds and call ing “Aufstehn!,” he waited until we were wide awake and then gave us an undeserved tribute: “Ihr seid die Treuen!’ The fear of scarlet fever was still so vivid that when I left I packed all my belongings, including books, into two batter ed suitcases, thinking I might never return. It was a tremendous effort to lug them across town to the old Northwestern depot on the west side. In the bosom of my family at home my “sore throat” was pampered and my skin an xiously examined for traces of telltale scarlet. But the symptoms disappeared almost by magic as I began to recount the dramatic experiences of the last few days to a family of eager listen ers. A matter of fact item in the January Black and Red is the only record of this exciting event. It merely states that several cases of scarlet fever necessitated the closing of school two days before time and that all the sick boys (I believe two or three actually had scarlet fever) had re turned except one.

understanding between the faculty and student body. Is there, then, a practical means for resolving these difficulties? I believe there is — possibly in the formation of a student committee or reactivation of the dorm council, who, in an officially representa tive capacity, would arrange dialogues be tween themselves and the respectively representative faculty committee whenever a problem should arise. The students have a lot of questions. All they get are second hand answers, and consequent judgments are based on what they surmise. The re sult is detrimental to both the students and faculty. NVVC students are genuinely interest ed in the welfare of their school, and I believe that official dialogue (preferably followed by public posting of the faculty’s decision) is the best, if not the only road to a successful rapport, to a mutual un derstanding among all campus citizens.

Impressions of a Professor

Tt was strange to see him walking up ■L the street past Che dining hall; Profes sor Westerhaus always used to take a short cut through the chapel. It was time for dinner; you could tell — the preps brushed by him in their dash for dinner. He had finished his last class for the day, and it was time to go home. A stiff breeze blew between the buildings and whipped the broad brim of that ancient, wellworn hat up and down. He shuffled along, swing ing his bulging brief oase; every now and then he would nod to Chose rushing by, then stop for a few words with those who weren’t in such a hurry. He had said that his house was the small grey one down on Concord Avenue. There were two small grey houses down on Concord, but only one with a Falcon sta tion wagon in front of it. I rang the bell. “Come on in. Well, did you make it down the hill or did you have to take the street by the water tower. Today I had a little trouble; it was a little slippery from the snow. Last night the children were sliding down it, but it saves quite a few steps when you cut across the hill. . Come on in... Throw your coat on the couch. . . We’re pretty unsettled yet from moving; my study is still cluttered with boxes I haven’t unpacked yet. .. .”

Glee Clubs and individuals remember the warmth of the Westerhaus home. 136

The house was different — smaller, but there was the same buffet, the same piano, the same flower box with its poinsettias and Christmas cactus which blooms at Thanksgiving. It used to stand in front of his study window, across from his desk. It always made one feel humble to look at that desk — the varnish worn away by countless hours spent in study, meditation, in sadness, in satisfaction — no one of us can really know. . . . “I thought about the things you men tioned earlier. How did I decide to come to Northwestern? I would have to say that it was because of two things: a snow storm and a bad case of asthma. My family was visiting our neighbors; our pastor was there too. He was subject to asthmatic attacks; in them you can’t get your breath, like suffocating. It started to snow — a blizzard. This brought on an attack — he got so bad, he had to hang out of a win dow to get air. He insisted upon going home but was so bad that he couldn’t drive the horses, so I took him home. We went into the study to talk. All of a sud den, he asked, ‘Have y. u ever thought of going to Northwester] :o study to be a minister?’ Later, we i dked it over with my parents and a student from Northwes tern. So that fall I started at Northwes tern. “Some years later, before I graduated from the Seminary (it was at Wauwatosa then), I received an assignment to preach to some German-Russians, who had bought some “squaw land” and were living on an Indian reservation. I went as far as pos sible by train. Someone met me at the de pot and took me to a hotel. I was to rent a horse and buggy the next day to go the rest of the way — the district president said I could hire a driver to direct me, if I thought I needed one. The hotel room was terrible and had a funny smell. I pul led back the blankets of the bed, and, sure enough, bedbugs scurried in all directions; they can’t stand light. I have heard that they come with lumber. People used to kill them with kerosene; as soon as they smell the kerosene, they stand up on their front legs and tip over dead. . . I slept in the chair. The next morning I went down to breakfast, and what did we have? Mushy oatmeal. It was every bit as bad as the horrible stuff we used to get at Northwestern. My driver and I went on

our way. We came to a place where the government doled out beef to the Indians and stopped to watch as Che corral was opened and the cattle released. The cattle ran in all directions. The Indians round ed them up and drove them in circles a few times. After they had satisfied their need for a hunt, they took out their rifles and shot them all. The squaws moved in and took care of the butchering. After a few days we found the people we were looking for, and we held services as directed.”

ed everything in the car: tent, pots and pans, baggage and the children. Many thought that we did the wrong thing by taking such small children along, but they just loved every moment of it. We didn’t worry about bad water or any of the usual things. Once a big storm came up and blew the tent down —pots and pans went fly ing all over the place, and we all had to run after them. Professor Westerhaus had made a shoulder saddle to give the child ren rides. I remember seeing him giving Jeanette a ride up over the rocks in Yellow stone Park. She jostled here and there, but still it was a thrill for her. . Professor Westerhaus recalls his years at Northwestern. “After my first five years I didn’t know if I could keep on. I had a call to Oconomowoc; I don’t know if I ev er have debated anything so seriously. We were short of men here at Northwes tern at the time, so the board urged me to stay. That’s the way it always was down through the years. I love the stu dents and have always enjoyed working with them. I am going to miss them once I’m done here. My wife and I hope we won’t be entirely cut off once we move out to Lake Okauchee. As for my greatest disappointment, I think it would be dis covering that students had not adequately absorbed the material I had presented to them when I tested them.”

Painting is one of his hobbies. At this point Mrs. Westerhaus came in with a tray of cookies and a small glass of wine for each of us. Professor Wester haus makes his own wine. What we had was a special blend of wine from Concord and wild grapes. He always makes sure that he has some wild grape wine, because it is such good cough medicine. Then there were stories of trips to the Grand Canyon and a smart-aleck girl who taunted him for not riding a horse, that is, until she got up the next day. Or the boat trip along the west coast and the pretty French girl who wanted a place to sun herself — she stayed out too long and then couldn’t sit down, as Professor Wes terhaus says, “Ya, the French will try any thing-” He looks back with fond memories to his extra study in Europe, his marriage and children. Mrs. Westerhaus recalls the following story about their trip out West. “We pack137

his boyhood in Washington with his grand father, Senator Gore of Oklahoma. He was a personal friend of Pres. Kennedy and claims credit for the peace corps idea. Vidal’s ambition now is to get back to Washington in his own right as Congress man from New York City. Religion is a predominant theme in Julian. Constantine’s edict of toleration had been issued just 25 years earlier, and that emperor, Julian’s uncle, was still liv ing during the Apostate’s early life. The Arian controversy was tearing the church, so that it was virtually sects at open war fare with each other. Beatings and mur ders in the name of religion were to be seen in the streets.

In it him. the emperor tells of his entire life and es pecially of his religious struggles, which finally led him to renounce Christianity and try to destroy it. In this lengthy work, the author, Gore Vidal (pronounced as a long e) makes a study of this man — his motives and ac tions. The author worked on this book over a nine-year period, which included research in Rome, and he claims to give a true historical account. Yet his imagi nation penetrated into the emperor’s mind and tried to uncover his thoughts. At the same time Vidal has pictured for us the entire Fourth Century with its impact on But then when only nine, Julian saw our Christian church of today. twelve monks severely beat two harmless A study of Roman government is right old men — heretics, they said.

into it "with an astonishingly poignant sense of coming home.” This led him to ask about the old religion from Mardonius, who althought a Christian, loved Hel lenism too well. “Was everything Homer wrote true?” “Every word.” “Then Zeus and Apollo and all the other gods must exist.” Mardonius explained that Homer wor shipped the One God, the single principle of the universe. That One God shows him self in many forms. The gods of Olympus and the sun are such manifestations. Now Julian understood his dream. From then on the sun would be his “protector.” Julian began madly to run to the phi losophers of his day — in Ephesus, Pergamum, Athens. In several extremely in teresting conversations, the philosophers slowly engulf him in their pagan doc trines. Finally in Ephesus Julian admits his belief in “an absolute power.” “Was it the sv . one who spoke to Moses?” the philosopher Maximus asked. “So I have bee aught.” “Yet that god not absolute. He did not make da^: '-.s or even matter, since the earth w„ .d ready there before bout form. He was him, invisible and merely the shaper what already existed. . . . Isn’t Plato's religion better — that there is one being who encompasses all life — is all life from this essential source emanates gods, demons, men?” That did it! At nineteen Julian was initiated into the secret rites of Mithras (the sun), a religion with striking simi larities to Christiantiy. For instance, Mi thras was born of light striking a rock on December 25 with shepherds watching his birth. The remainder of the Apostate’s life was spent in pagan foolishnesses, vividly described by Vidal. As emperor he openly favored the old religions and re moved Christians from leading positions. Vidal wants to tell us something thru all this. He is preaching, I think, against greed and ambition in our church today and especially against divisions in it. He is making an ecumenical push with which we cannot fully agree. But there is a thought for us too. We should watch our outward hostilities because, to an observer denominational fights cheapen our Christi anity and make it appear anything but the true, God-given religion.

Religion, however, was only one theme in Vidal’s novel and possibly not even the main one. The author seemed equally interested in picturing that entire age to us. Into a novel of interesting read ing he weaves its thoughts, its cities, its leaders, its wit, its intrigue.

We are taken into the court of the great Roman emperor to see its splendor and meaningless ceremony. An audience with the emperor consisted of 30 minutes of pre-determined dialogue and perhaps a question or two. Everything down to the lifts in his shoes was aimed to glorify and humor him. In the meantime the real work was done through his ministers. Incidentally, using his three emperors — Constantius the moderate, Gallus the Nerotype, and Julian the radical — Vidal has made a political study of the three basic types of despots. Woven into all this is the ever-present court intrigue. In the course of the book, Julian visits many important places, and this gives Vi dal a chance for imaginative description — such as the broken-down condition of Del phi or student life in Athens. We find Jul ian in a tavern bull session where the students reveal themselves. The similar ities with Northwestern life are striking. The students speak of carrying off a new student to the baths to be scrubbed — “the traditional form of hazing.” They argue in circles with petty proofs — as a con clusive proof of the Virgin Birth, one student reports “vultures bring forth with out coupling.” A student with long hair mocks one with short. But we have missed Vidal’s most im portant achievement in Julian — he put together a good story. The novel has something for every reader — war cam paigns, worthwhile thoughts, witty lines, j. v. and plenty of excitement.

We Got Rhythm

Rock-n-Roll and the people who produce it are challenged in January’s lead article — an appraisal by a member of the gener ation that popidarized the “beat.” John Trapp, a senior from New Ulm, Minnesota evaluates the music and its effect. Next month John Mittelstaedt probes facets of modem ivarfare.

^\ne Summer afternoon in 1954 a sideburned, twenty-year-old truck driver from Tupelo, Mississippi, “just had an ur gin’,” so he strolled into the Sun Record Company with his guitar and requested an audition. It wasn’t until the following spring that he finally received a telephone call. Sun Records wanted him to come down and record a love ballad entitled Without You. The young man complied, but for some reason Without You just didn’t click. The fellow in charge became disappointed and decided to take a break. But mean while the would-be-recording-artist whisp ered something to the members of the band, and the whisper suddenly turned into a din- that din called “rock-’n’-roll.” It was enough to convince the man agement. They handed him a contract and recorded a song called That’s All Right, Mama. Within a week it sold 7,000 copies in Memphis alone, and the young man was on his way to success. His name? You guessed it—Elvis Presley. His status today? The highest-paid performer in the history of show business. For all practical purposes, this marked the beginning of a new era in popular mu sic. Bill Haley and his Comets took up the beat, and a hundred other bands and singers soon fell into line. The public went wild — the younger set was approvingly enthusiastic, and their parents were en raged (at least for the moment). But is the “rock-’n’-roll” beat really that much of an innovation? This rather basic, emotional rhythm is not only found 140

among the Twentieth-Century, “civilized” peoples. I’m sure that ii first rang through the Congo a long time ago, and the na tives of that country couldn’t even read music (a custom many of our “pop-artists” have retained). How, then, did ill wild beat sneak into America? I doub riously whether some of the first setiituned in an In dian war dance and - o ied to tap along. The earliest forerun/of “rock-’n’-roll” in America was probai. - the Negro Spiri tual. Even though this would fall more in to the category of “foil, music,” we can still find hereditary traces of it in our “pop” maze of sounds — the driving and dominant 2-4 and 4-4 beat, the frenzied emotionalism, and a melody that’s easy to catch. (It sells better if people are able to sing along without much concentration.) But the immediate reason for this in flux of pounding rhythm is not so much the natural flow of musical trends, as it is the great financial opportunity this “mu sic” presents. By this I’m not saying that the people, especially the younger gener ation, aren’t willing to accept the stuff. It fits in very well with the rapid pace of our age. It is not only representative of much of our society (and unfortunately so), but it is also one of the pressures that helped to bring that society to its present state. So on the surface this music appears to be fulfilling its artistic “duty” of repre senting the people and also influencing them. There is only one minor flaw in the whole deal — the same flaw inherent in

modern art. Most of the people who are writing and performing the “music” are not artists. There is such a volume of ma terial that it confuses the general public who, in turn, are wealthy enough to sup port the “fakes” as well as those who have genuine talent. Radio stations that play the “top forty” are the worst offenders. They aren’t at all fussy about the junk that they “put on the air." The influential qualities of the promoters are too often their only criterion. The recording studios are also to blame. Even if they have an inferior song with a good beat, they could at least see to it that their musicians have tuned up the instruments before the tapes start to roll. There are an adequate number of capable singers in the U.S.A. Why, then, do they have to choose voices that even an echo chamber can’t help? One song that comes to mind is entitled Barbara Ann : a group called rhe Beach Boys makes a hideous attempt m harmony. They even have trouble singira the parts that are written in unison

When teenagers refer to their favorite songs, they don’t say, “That one has a good melody,” or “I like the harmony in this one.” What they usually say is, “It has a cool beat.” So rhythm is the big factor and, in many cases, the only fac tor. Consequently they all have the same “cool beat.” The teenagers have learned this one thing from the propaganda that radio stations (and now, more and more television stations) are feeding them. What A Musical Education! Right about now you are saying that these light-music stations are not supposed to educate but only entertain. And you are right. They are supposed to entertain, but they are not there to provide bad en tertainment. They should have enough concern for the listener to give him some thing worthwhile; and all good or worth while entertainment is educational in one way or another, even if it only serves to enhance one’s appreciation for that type of song. What lasting appreciation is de141

rived from the same monotonous beat? In saying these things I am not sug gesting that all of this “rock-’n’-rolT is lousy. Nor am I suggesting that there is n’t a time and place for even the mediocre stuff. There are occasions when it is en joyable; for example, it has an amazing ability to keep many people awake while driving, and it is quite appropriate for a “night on the town.” But why do these disc-jockeys have to pour this junk over the air all day and all night long? As I already stated, there is a reason, and is it a good one for them — financial. They have a large audience of teenagers that are quite capable of spending most of what they own on records, autographed photos of their favorite “artists,” and the like. Actually you could call it a -perpetual fad. A record that sells for 98£ today won’t be worth its weight in plastic tomorrow. And generally the groups that play the stuff don’t last much longer than their hit tune or two. Why don’t teenagers have a higher sense of values? Perhaps the prosperous and superficial characteristics of our so ciety are to blame; and it is not too diffi cult for an ambitious recording company to exploit them to the fullest. There is also some truth in the statement that this “beat” has a singular appeal for the young man’s rebellious and restless nature. But I think that it is even more basic than that. One thing that is more dominant than a young person’s rebellious nature is his need and even desire for guidance. And lack of good guidance seems to be a common characteristic of many modem American homes. During this search for an ideal, the teenager falls into the hands of “rock-’n’-roll.” He fashions his entire social life after the particular singer or group of singers who appear to be most popular. He cuts his hair the same way. He dons the same type of uniform, wears the same type of shoes, and collects all the records he can. What is even worse is that it creeps into the school life of many individuals. No one will be able to convince me that a per son can concentrate or leam to concen trate on his homework with that racket in the background. Yes, this “music” does have its time and place. .But the recording companies and radio stations who recognize this gen-

general education is concerned. Imagine them with short hair cuts, suits and ties, a minimum of body movement, and a piece of music in front of them with in telligible lyrics. Barring that fact that they can’t read music, how much appeal do you think they would have for a teen age audience (or any audience, for that matter)? You see, their profession relies so heavi ly on outward appearance, that without it there is nothing left.

This kind of entertainment definitely has a sexual ap peal for the listener-viewer, but that does not mean that it is necessarily sensual. Psychologically speaking, however, the preceding sentence could apply to almost anything.

The dog was undergrown and neurotic, and one of the plants (they repeated the experiment several times) even wilted and died. I hope it wasn’t a rosebud.

The Use and Misuse of Scripture T here are several proper uses of Scrip* ture for the Christian. Most impor tant of these is the Bible’s power to show us the way to salvation and to work sav ing faith in our . arts. We should also use God’s Word : source of strength and comfort in of trial and need. Finally, Scriptur ould guide us when we make the dec *s of daily life. Men have redly made errors in all areas of the .ucation of Scripture, but the Bible is in regard to truths necessary for sal v ion. The Holy Spirit is the clearest author in the universe for those that approach the Bible in trust and subjection. If men would understand pas sages of Scripture in their simplest mean ing or in the meaning that agrees with other plain passages, doctrinal differences would disappear. The Bible contains all that we are to believe, yes, more than enough, but it by no means answers every question we could bring. It does not nec essarily contain all the thoughts of God. It is in the decisions of daily life that we face the greatest difficulty in finding Scrip tural answers. This is particularly true when we are dealing with modern inno vations and contemporary developments. Since they were non-existent when the Bible was written, we have no specific re ferences to them and must be guided by general principles. In the past, individuals and church bodies have often brought embarrassment and discredit to the Church by being too

143

sure that their interpretation of some new advance was the only Scriptural way to look at things. Orthodox Christians have gone out on a limb to condemn vaccina tion and nearly every scientific advance ment as “unnatural.” Another example is the early opposition to anesthetics because Christ refused myrrh on the cross and be cause the use of anesthetics shows an un willingness to accept the suffering God sends us. The best-known incident is the church’s opposition to the Copemican hel iocentric system. When it becomes clear that the church no longer holds these views, it is taken as evidence for the mod ern skeptics’ claims that the Bible is an unclear book, whose doctrines are sub ject to changing times and opinions. Al though they remain unexcused, the am munition they have gained helps them mislead weak souls and makes their case against Scripture more appealing. An example of a slightly different type was provided by the conservative Lutheran newspaper, which has been delivered to many of our students in the last few years. Although the paper ran many good arti cles defending key Christian doctrines such as the virgin birth and the inerrancy of Scriptures, the effect of these articles was diminished by the tendency of some of the paper’s writers to get involved in politics. Certain articles which identified the Negroes’ struggle for equal rights with Communism, and other pieces, which left the impression that political conserva tism has more claim to a Christian’s loyal ty than liberalism, prevented the paper’s exposition of Christian doctrine from reaching many people because of the of fense they caused in some circles. tate must beware of falling into similar ** traps on current problems like social legislation and various political move ments. As a church body we should take care not to speak too quickly or definitely on subjects for which Scripture gives us no definite answers. We should be ex tremely careful not to imply that certain political views are more consistent with Christianity than others, unless there are extremely clear grounds for doing so. Pas tors should not give laymen the impres sion that their convictions about debatable matters are the only Scriptural ones, when they know that other pastors in our synod are not in agreement with them.

transfers, a change of pastors, or conven tion attendance reveal these differences, they tend to undermine confidence in the rest of Christian doctrine. As individuals we should carefully examine our own opinions to see how firmly grounded they really are. Whenever we see that other sincere Christians have reached conclu sions different from ours, we know that a careful evaluation of our own opinions is in order. We should be doubly on guard if the other person’s views make us angry or produce the tendency to think in such ad hominem patterns as “That young man will be guided to see the light when he grows up and loses his brash radical ways” or “That old man won’t be so caught up in those old-fashioned opinions when this thing isn’t quite so new.” Both of these faults are often signs that we are not too sure why we hold the opinion we do. Our reason is easily satisfied when we are looking for passages to support our notions. We must be on guard that we have not found only what we wished to find. As Christians who accept the abso lute authority of God’s Word, we tend to make the error of assuming that the ap . bite gull floated. plications and judgments we make for our T n the distant gray life are equally authoritative.

They often broke off their conversation to notice a “sharp” car speed by. The thin old man and his fat wife worked in the factory.

The day wore on slowly, but most faces turned to smile when the cashier brought the checks. Finally the last buz zer blurted. Senski was the first to hit the time clock that afternoon. He ran out side and gulped in the chilly air. A fine sleet was beginning to fall. The cold felt good and so he started to walk, without direction, anywhere. The sleet was changing to snow and dusk was fast turning to darkness. Alone in the city. Thousands, no mil lions, of people. Millions of souls moving in a violent world of fast living and dying. 145

Who should notice one among so many? Senski walked on, down toward the waterfront. “Try to remember when life was so tender that no one wept except the willow” sang a jukebox from a bar. The black oil-covered water behind the buildings mirrored the shining lights, but little else. “What kind of fool am I?” the music continued. WE CASH PAYROLL CHECKS read a sign in the window. Senski stepped inside the dimly lit building and to the bar. A lot of people for so early in the evening. “You cash checks here?” “That’s what the sign says, buddy. What’ll you have? “Huh? Oh, give me a beer.” Senski hand ed him the check. “Hmm, ninety-four.” The burly man down the bar looked, but turned away when Senski returned the glance. Senski sat for a long while. The room stank of stale spilled beer and heavy smoke. The place was beginning to fill. There was the thin old man with his fat wife — must be having an evening out on the town. Finally Senski went out into the cold. People were hurrying every where, really living it up. Alone in the city, down by the water front. The water is so dark, as if to hide the countless secrets it must hold. m

gray-haired bus driver smiled as the city worker talked about his pigeons. The thin old man complained to his fat wife. Both of the shaggy-haired boys rode today, but only one would go as far as school. The other had quit school for a job in a shop, tough work but over two dollars an hour. Lucky guy! The blond secretary squeaked to her two friends, “I’m gonna look at an apartment this aft. It’s a small sixth floor place right on our bus route, only closer." he

“Oh, really!” Down by the waterfront walked the burly man. Alone in the city, nobody really noticed him. He watched the faint reflection of a white gull in the dark water. R. E.

Liturgical Changes

TA7 ith the widely publicized action takVV en by the recent Vatican Council and especially the emphasis that is placed on the changes in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church, one might wonder just how much that liturgy now differs from our own. In other words, did the Roman Church, after 400 years, finally submit to the changes Luther initiated in the litur gy? Is Martin Luther really the instiga tor of the most definite change Vatican II produced? The most obvious change in the Ro man liturgy has been the change in lan guage from the Latin to the vernacular. It is interesting to note that some claim Luther would have been against this change. They support this claim with a statement Luther made in 1526. At that time he said that in no way would he per mit the Latin language to be removed from the service entirely. This seems to be not only in opposition to the action just taken by the Roman Church, but also in contradiction to the present Lutheran liturgy. However, Luther goes on to ex plain that worship cannot be restricted to one language; it should rather be carried out in whatever language is best known to those worshipping. Thus he felt that it would be wrong for him to make German the only language of worship, and neglect those who knew and understood the Latin, or any other language better. Therefore, as far as the change in the language is concerned, Luther did indeed set the pre cedent. Here Vatican II only duplicated what he did centuries ago. The next striking change fostered by the Council was the addition of hymns sung by the congregation. The relation between this and the liturgy set up by Luther is quite obvious since he himself wrote many hymns and published material promoting music in the church. It is for no small reason that through the years the Lutheran Church has been known as “the Singing Church.” But besides the obvious change this addition makes in the liturgy of the Ro man Church, it is also representative of another change, and that is allowing the people to take a greater part in the service. For years the people merely attended the

service. Their participation was very slight. However, with this change they are ap proaching the level of participation that Luther advocated. A change which might have more sig nificance is in the case of the Lord’s Sup per. For centuries the Roman Church has forbidden the laity to receive the cup in the Sacrament. Partaking of the wine was something reserved for the clergy. But ac cording to the recent Council, the laity can now receive the cup under certain conditions. Granted that it is not the vo lition of the individual layman, but the decision of the Bishop of his diocese that brings this about in practice, this is still a marked improvement. This does not mean that they have changed their teach ing concerning the Sacrament. They still claim that Christ is resacrificed everytime the mass is celebrated. 1 he objections that Luther had are still appi • 'ble. But in this one external thing tb have followed Luther. These are some oi : points where the liturgy of the Rom. Church has be come more like ours. umenists stress age the content that the Council didn't of the liturgy, emplia. ng a supposed similarity in the two i.iurgies, since a great share of the liturg; set up by Luther was drawn from the old liturgy of the Roman Church. Nonetheless the content of both liturgies are anything but similar. For included in the Roman liturgy are still many things that we find objection able, such as petitions to Mary and other Saints, as well as prayers for the dead. Another basic point of difference is freedom in liturgy. Since Luther believed in doing things decently and in order, he set up certain forms of worship which the churches could follow. But, at the same time, he believed that no one should be forced to worship in one certain way. Therefore he never demanded that a cer tain type of liturgy be used, but he left that up to the individual congregations. The Roman Church, on the other hand, has set up certain liturgies and it demands that worship be carried out in this way. The changes the Vatican Council made in the liturgy concerning external things are merely the recognition of a trail blazed by Luther, while the basic objectionable things in their liturgy remain intact.

Duke would light his pipe and hold forth in a curious mixture of rhetoric and mur dered English and propaganda. “Sam,” he said, “you got it all wrong if you think old Lyndon is sending you and me to fight over here to preserve free dom and democracy! It’s just American imperialism and interventionism. Now just look at Hungary in ’56. It ain’t no different in Viet Nam now.

It was all we read and heard about. The propaganda mills in Washington were really hard at work.” He tried to remember what he had learned in high school about Hungary and its brave efforts to gain its freedom. “Now look,” Duke continued, “the Ruskies moved into Hungary to support the established government against revolters — right? And now we move into Viet Nam to support the government against the rebels — right? But the Ruskies got raked up and down the coals for their efforts, and we heap ourselves with platitudes of praise for our noble sacrificing. Same situation in both cases, but look what our propaganda mills have done. And you say the U.S. ain’t got no propaganda? The U. S. ain’t nothing but a mass of propaganda!” He had protested against Duke’s reas oning, but Duke had belittled his patriotic responses. The argument lasted far into the night as guys drifted over and added their conviotions to his. It was a full moon, and Che trees were bathed in phosphores cence. They could hear the patrols on the perimeter shouting to one another, and they could hear helicopters taking off from the field a mile north. He remembered all this, and then he slept.

He couldn’t open his eyes, and the nurse was holding down his arms and cal ling to someone to hypo him. It slipped in sharp and cool, and he dozed. It was a big Air Force plane that was carrying him and the others beyond him, scattered through the big belly of the transport. Some had no arm; others had a piece of steel in their back or thigh or wrist. Everything was in white, but the belly of the plane was dark, like a big womb. There was no sound; when anyone groaned or cried out or moved, someone came and stuck a hypo into him. The plane skidded gently in the winds over the South China Sea. He slept fitful!', and his mind func tioned vividly at o !; intervals. He was on a plane now, and before that he had been in a Saigon hospi and before that he was lurching in ’’icopter, and before that was the slug ing through his face and claiming his as tribute.

It was just a short morning patrol, no sweep or night action or couple of days on the hunt. Besides night patrol had said there were no Cong around. As they went they passed a yelling kid with three fing ers missing, beating a cow. They passed the place where a village chief and his bodyguard had been cut down three weeks ago. They heard birds singing, always far off, and the bellowing jokes of Saigon Sal on Swanson’s inseparable transistor. They passed the spot where they had been am bushed a month ago. Old equipment, trenches, and craters marked the spot. The day before it hadn’t been so good. A couple of guys in the next tent had been aced by the Cong. Cold C rations were their supper.

The Apocrypha T ust what are the Apocrypha? They are J the hidden, secret books which, though found in the original King James version, are no longer included in modern Protes tant Bibles. Although they are not inspir ed, Luther says that they are still “nuetzlich und gut zu lesen.” Because the Apo crypha are considered to be of secondary importance, most of us today have only a vague impression of what they are all about. The best-known part of the Apocrypha is the account of the Jewish uprising against the Seleucid ruler, Antiochus IV. I Maccabees is a concise, historical account of the years 167-134 B. C., during which the Maccabees, Judas, John and Simon and his son, led the guerilla campaign for political freedom with varying success. In II Maccabees we find a parallel of the years 175-160, a more emotional work than the first book The only other histori cal book is I Esi.’ . and uninspired account of the sanu history found in Ezra and Neherniah. II Esdras is apocalypse written af ter the death of \cco. The first and last two chapters, th< at to be Christian ad ditions, speak as cmiah did against the Jews and as St. -m does against wicked Babylon. Many books of the Apopcrypha resem ble short stories. There is, for example, the story of Tobit, a fictional romance, which relates how Tobit found and won his wife. Like many of the Apocryphal books, Tobit is an adaptation of an earlier manuscript of secular origin. Judith, which dates from the early sec ond century B. C., like Tobit, is another romance which follows the Hellenistic pat tern. The introduction, which places Nebuohadnezzar in Assyrian Nineveh, tips us off at once that this is not real history. The story is an account of how, when Holoffernes with his host encamped against Bethulia, Judith went down to his camp with her maid and managed quietly to cut off his head. Smaller supplements to Biblical stories are also found in the Apocrypha. The Ad149

ditions to the Book of Esther is a collec tion of six parts which fit at intervals into the canonical Esther and thus change the secular tone of the book. The Additions to Daniel is a work of three separate stories found in the Greek but not in the Hebrew Bible. The first part is about Susanna, who gave the youthful Daniel a chance to display his talents by outwitting her calumniators. The second part, “The Song of the Three Children,” put in the mouth of Abednego, is a long prayer and then a hymn of thanksgiving while the three were in the fiery furnace. In the third part, “The Story of Bel and the Dragon,” Daniel proves to the king of Babylon that the idol Bel is a false god. When Daniel is not hurt in the lions’ den, he is drawn out and his enemies, as usual, are thrown to the lions.

* • •!

The Prayer of Manasseh was written, perhaps in Greek, about 100 B. C. It pur ports to be a prayer which II Chronicles 33:18 mentions may be found “in the books of the kings of Israel.” The last major category in the Apo crypha are the books of wisdom. The Wis dom of Solomon, like many of the Apo cryphal books, is a fusion of Greek and Hebrew ideas. It at times approaches the concept of the “loges” in Greek philosophy. The only book of the Apocrypha of which we are sure of the author and his date is Ecclesiasticus. This work, the wis dom of Jeshua, son of Sirach, is secular in tone, containing advice for getting along in business and society. It is more in the tenor of Proverbs than of Ecclesiastes. The Book of Baruch is only partly de voted to wisdom. The first part, like “The Song of the Three Children,” is praise and prayer. The second part has more wis dom, and the third more comfort and cheer. A “Letter of Jeremiah” to the cap tives in Babylon is tacked on at the end of the book, and for this reason Baruch, the secretary of Jeremiah, is credited with its authorship. The Apocrypha are good reading and are worth more serious study, but since they are uninspired, they remain only G. l. good reading.

The Issues and Answers series, which has enjoyed marked success thus far this year, presented a very interesting program the evening of Sunday, January 9th. Dr. Siegbert Becker of M.L.T.C. told why he left the Missouri Synod to teach in our schools. Student interest in the topic was evident, as at the earlier talks this year. Topics which will be discussed in the com ing weeks will probably include: Creating Life and Evolution, Censorship in Litera ture and Films, Ecumenism, Racial Move ments and Social Problems, and Military Sendee and the Chaplaincy. It is hoped that student interest and participation in the discussions will continue to grow as the year wears on.

Forum Forum hopes to begin its second semes ter well and, aided by the gains of a mem bership drive, go on to bigger and better productions. There will be short forum productions on February 2 and 16 and March 2 and 15. John Wendland plans a session of poetry reading to jazz accom paniment; Fred Toppe will present two absurdist plays; Ed Fredrich intends to stage Marlow’s Favstus; and the final short production, which has not yet been chosen. The Forum final this year will be The Inspector General, by Gogol. The play is a rollicking comedy about a small town in the Russia of the early nineteenth century. The play will be given May 14 and 15. If it follows the high standard set by the Forum finals of the past, it should prove an enjoyable evening’s entertainment. 151

Piano Recital On Monday, January 10, the Univer sity of Wisconsin School of Music present ed a graduate reoital by our present piano teacher, Sook Ihn Saw, in the University Music Hall Auditorium. Mrs. Saw played a program well worth her many hours of practice, including Bach’s Toccata in E Minor, five sonatas by Scarlatti, the Sonata in A-flat Major of Beethoven, two pieces by Debussy, and Liszt’s Ungarische Rhap sodic No. 12. Debate The debate team, under the leadership of Dick Stadler and accompanied by Pro fessor Quam, will take part in a novice tournament at Oshkosh State February 11 and 12. Two teams — Paul Schweppe and Ed Fredrich; John Ibisch and Paul Schmiege — will each participate in six debates, taking both sides of the question: “Resolved: that law enforcement agencies in the United States should be given great er freedom in the investigation and prose cution of crime.” The debaters will journey to Madison for the University of Wisconsin’s tourna ment March 11 and 12. The law-enforce ment question will again be debated. At this same time, any students interested in participating in a public speaking contest at the University will be taken along. Con tests will be held in oratory, after-dinner speaking, and extemporaneous speech. All entry fees will be paid by the debate team, with the awards going to the individual winners. All interested students are asked to see Dick Stadler so that practice sched ules and local competition can be arranged. Speech Clinic Dick Stadler’s weekly speech clinic, held from 7:30 to 8:00 Monday nights and open to all interested students, en joyed initial success. But there is room for many more, and Dick thinks his com ing topics should be interesting and infor mative for all students: Jan. 31 - Organizing the Speech Feb. 7 - Evidence and Supporting Your Ideas Feb. 14 - Convincing Persuasion and Ethics Feb. 21 - Psyching Out Your Audience Feb. 28 - Speaking to be Heard: Projection Mar. 7 - Being a Good Listener

Blood Bank Watertown’s Chapter of the American Red Cross held its annual winter drive for donors to the local blood bank. Over a hundred Northwestern students trekked to Immanuel Lutheran Church on January 10 and 11 to do their part. Student par ticipation in the drive, always very good, reached an all-time high this year, with our students donating nearly a third of the quota set for the Watertown area. Trips Christmas vacation saw the campus minus most of its faculty. Besides the usual trips to homes of nearby relatives, some of the professors managed to fit in trips to the warmer regions: Professor and Mrs. Eichmann visited their son Jim in Berkeley, California. Mrs. Eickmann developed a serious case of bronchiel pneumonia, necessitating hos pitalization. Prof. Eickmann remained, missing a week of school, and finally re turned home alone. The Kowalke’s journeyed via Jet to Tucson to visit their niece The music department ai half of the orchestra personnel (The hmanns to the uninitiated) made it down to Little Rock and back without majw= incident. Professor and Mrs. Schar* oiled down past the nation’s new capitol to El Paso to see their daughter Charlotte and her husband. The car was converted into a traveling study as the professor dashed off a string of corrected papers which covered the Midwest (literally).

Concordia After some ups and downs, the Tro jans finally dropped a 100-89 decision to Milwaukee Concordia. Inability to pene trate the Concordia defense and failure to hang on to rebounds enabled Concordia to run up a 51-38 half-time lead, but the Trojans came roaring back to tie the score with ten minutes remaining in the game. The lead see-sawed for the next five min utes, but the Trojans’ foul problems sud denly caught up with them, and four star ters departed by the foul route. With four minutes to go, a burst of Concordia scor ing gave them a lead that the Trojans could not touch over the closing minutes. The Trojans showed excellent foul shoot ing and a lot of hustle, but 28 changeovers took them out of the game. Dobber stein led Norths i siern with 23 points, but

addroom Now that the end of the semester is upon us, and with it the necessity for students to begin racking their brains for term paper material, there is considerable discussion as to the origin and purpose of it all. This is an important question, and may someday be answered — but hardly here, of all places. Here you will never find practical suggestions for short term paper topics — such as “The Quin tessence of Conservatism,” “Shakespeare in a Nutshell”., and “Chaucer, a Trifle too Gaye.” No, in this issue we will consider the more imponderable and, to be quite frank, hitherto npondered (though valu able) aspects oi our education. There is, for mple, the field of Cornmunications. satisfied with the new Bat Man TV ow, or the Lone Ranger (Sunday night ;0 p. m., 760 AM), or even with the Blind Mice” at basket ball games, the - . 01031 Northwestern stu dent feels that must get into the act himself. Our answer to this dilemma is WARG, “the only completely illegal, un licensed transmitter” on third floor (or in Wisconsin, for that matter). It operates at anywhere from 970 to 1160 kilocycles with a tremendous 500 millowatts power and a range of 300 yards when it really tries. The man with the voice, M.A. (for Aardvark) Zehms, prefers commercials which vary to suit his audience; but, gen erally include messages from the SNARL Wolf Work’s meat market quotations, to name only one. A second example of Northwestern initiative appears in the field of Literature (not to be confused with Melchior B.’s “Field of Com” school of literary theory). The field of Literature calls for inspir ation, and since Wayne Mueller often has it, he wrote the following, featuring a leit motif of Christmas cheer and sang froid: 155

Even a classroom is, more often than some people realize, the scene of covert literary (etc.) activities. Although at times backwards, Hebrew can inspire one to write: ,ss-lc dr-wkw- n- s- s-ht ,s-lA .ss-p t-nn-c -y sts-t -n -r- -r-hT ;~s -t -r-ht r-v-n -r- sl-w-v -hT !yr-tsym 1-t-t - s- tl Some people will do anything to be differ ent. Our initiative really proliferates in the field of Show Business. The last day before Christmas vaca tion, the whole dorm was treated to a This Is Your Life type show in the recep tion room. Ben, our janitor, was present ed with holiday cheers and a golden plun ger that really worked. “Jest what I need,” says Ben. Then too, at a recent basketball game, during half time, the canteen comer was doing a rush hour business when Dick Stadler suddenly lost, of all things, his contact lens right in the middle of every thing. A circle soon formed. Moments la ter, Dick was about to leave the scene quietly when some helpful girl fished a flash out of her handbag to aid the search. “I couldn’t leave then”, said Dick later, “but it was a good idea.” It seems he nev er wears contacts. In line with our liberal arts education, we have a small but rapidly expanding field of Scientific Endeavor. Where the thoughtless, nay, even rude majority is content with observing the effects of fire crackers on friend and foe alike, Spitz is daily forging ahead, mixing and testing (generally in the room next door) his own rocket fuels which, he is sure, will take him to the moon. What he’ll do there for card partners he won’t say.

One day you find that a united effort has filled the entire hall with empty bottles waiting for can teen collection — each one neatly spaced one tile from the next.

By age 20, two in a thousand are disabled. More than that have already died Both figures mount as age increases. But, you can guarantee insurability! AAL offers young people a practical plan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one which insures you now at minimum cost for maximum coverage. Then, AAL provides a Guaranteed Purchase Option which lets you add more life insurance at future intervals, regardless of health. Also, if you become disabled, and own AAL's Monthly Income Disability coverage, you will receive a guaranteed monthly income. Plenty of people flunk their physicals. Cut your insurability risks. Insure early! Ask your AAL campus representative to help you. AID ASSOCIATION FOR LUTHERANS â&#x20AC;˘ APPLETON, WISCONSIN

sure hours and does not hesitate to take them when he can. In his existence rela tively free of responsibility he also knows how difficult it often is to fill his free time with enjoyable activity. Anyone who has ever spent a weekend at school should at least remember how welcome Monday morning responsibility can be. Man’s search for more leisure hours and his ability to fill these hours is quite paradoxi cal. A properly proportioned balance be tween work and leisure is necessary. Lei sure can best be enjoyed when it follows as a reward for work. It would be quite interesting to speculate what, if anything, our society, which prides itself on its own inventiveness, could possibly devise in the years to come as a substitute for work.

T^\o you hide your cigarettes in the linen drawer? Your Beatle records in Bach albums? Do you have seven holes on your bookshelf and two empty sweater bags? Does “scrounge” or “mooch” creep into your vocabulary? One of the fringe bene fits of dorm life is communism. What’s yours is mine, and sometimes vice versa. This makes a dorm better than the com munity shopping center. There’s a bakery next door, a haberdashery down the hall, Ben’s hardware, and several lending lib raries. j. M. Nearly all of us make use of the fa cilities on occasion, so don’t blister because your favorite symphony is still on another Tf eep your wit to the grindstone, my turntable — someone's probably looking for friend, and you will always find yourthat Peanuts :k on your desk.

It is true that the motivation is ques tionable in some cases, especially in the field of satire. There will always be people TA7e live in what is often called an Age who point out the foibles of others in or** of Leisure.

PSALM 1966 There is a moon high above, White silver and pearl, And a halo far-spread on the clouds’ soft swirl, And the air is blue, And the trees are black, And the land shrivels up from the cold of its fast. It wasn’t always like this, he told the world. There was a time when the sun was hot and flesh was burnt, and the earth just lay there in luxurious life and was redolent of rot and smoke, of growth and dirt, of steel and wood and grass and cars, of hate and love. It reveled in its smells, but it punished those who savored it too much. They died from smoke; they lived in dirt; they were killed by cars; and love always fled. And all grew and rotted. But the earth was bright, and the sun was hot. Which is as it should be, he shouted to the world. We can’t go on living like this with a pale Xerographic copy of the real sun, grovelling and crawling coldly towards one another. We need light and heat. We need the sun and love. He was a man who was growing up and discovering the wonders of life: He especially marvelled at the universality of experience. He’d read a book, and there was another man just like him, trying to find out the same answers and the same questions, trying to be himself and to justify his existence, trying to love and be loved. — Sometimes he read and he found answers. Mostly he just found new questions. — And he liked to meet people and find he was not alone. Other people lived as he did, and ate and dressed and sang and played and watched television and loved and thou phi and act ed and dreamed and feared as he did. He wasn’t unique, a freak, one-of-a-kind, different, odd, or crazy. And it gladdened him. And he rejoiced in his strength, for he was mighty in his kinship, in his brotherhood of man. And he laughed in his glee, For he thought he was free.

;

There is a sun high above, Yellow fire and red. And the beams hang heavy where the clouds are far fled; And the air is hot, And the shade is cool, And the earth grows green in the life-giving warmth. It wasnt always like this, he told the world. There was a time when me moon was cold and the flesh was clammy, and the earth just sat there in penurious pining, and waited and watched for something to stir, for someH ffr o ^row1’ ft* something to be. And it was not. And it waited and watchto warm ??a j0-*6’ for a flame to quicken, for a fire to engulf it, for love not and all wre411(1 ^ earth WaS lonely and Mgid' And 311 was Ajid the earth was dark and the moon was cold, living as we are be’ be touted to the world. We must go on

Hi 158

He was a man who was growing up and pondering the wonders of life: He especially pondered why and where and who and how. He read books, and there was nothing, absolutely nothing. Oh, there were good theories and good guesses, but just put them to a test, and they were as worthless as a corpse in a tomb. So he went on searching for his answers, and he couldn’t find them. And he met people, and he found he was alone, piteously alone. Some thought they had found answers, but most didn’t care, just didn't care. And so he was alone. And then one day by a curious deus ex machina he came across a book that gladdened him. Here were answers; here were the whys and the wheres and the whos and the hows. And there were others who had found the answers, others who be lieved as he did, others who were warmed, others who loved. And he rejoiced in their strength, for they were mighty in their kin ship and in their brotherhood with God And he thanked God for life. And prayed for more light.

Prof. Sellnow, an energetic young man of 37 years, comes to us from the Menom inee, Michigan, congregation where he served for the past three years. An out standing member of Northwestern’s class of 1950, he spent his first eight years in the ministry at Rapid City, South Dakota.

Our new professor was bom in Em barrass, Wisconsin. Shortly after his first birthday, however, his family moved to

Neenah, the south-of-Appleton metropolis that he fancies his real native city. While at Neenah, he attended a Christian day school. From there he came to Watertown, where he spent eight years in preparation for the seminary. During his sojourn on our campus, he exhibited excellent scholarship and an ac tive interest in extra-curricular affairs. In spite of an earlier bout with polio (at the age of four), Prof. Sellnow is an eightyear veteran of the college tennis team and holds fond memories of his four years of college golf. In addition to this, he was the editor of volume LIII of the Black and Red, a faithful member of the band and chorus, and the director of the Pep Band. His first graduate study since seminary training, during which he also served as vicar at St. Martin’s in Winona, Minne sota, was spent this past semester at Osh kosh State, where he concentrated on cour ses in Psychology and Modern American History. As for outside interests, our new pro fessor is a strong advocate of sports, es pecially golf, because “unlike most other inter-collegiate games, a person still has ample opportunity to participate actively when his college career is finished.” The championship - flight burden reposing on his trophy shelf is a silent symbol of his post-graduate achievements in that sport. But, credit where credit is due, some of those trophies belong to his wife.

\ a man of generally poor health, who suf fered constant colds and chest pains. In addition, throughout his life he suffered heartaches and disappointments. Recog nizing these heightens our appreciation of that great man who was born in the early part of this month. (George Washington’s birthday is really February 11. However, when the calendar was revised in 1752, eleven days were added to it.)

the Conway Cabal, tried to remove Wash ington from command in favor of General Horatio Gates. Many generals and Con gressmen were involved, and they may have succeeded, except for a wild party. Two generals got dead drunk and discus sed the plot. On the next day, after one was reminded of what had been said, he told Washington. Near the end of the war Congress was not paying the soldiers and was holding them long past their discharge date. Fin ally, the whole Pennsylvania line of the Army, 2400 men, mutinied and marched on Philadelphia. Congress had to grant their requests, including immediate dis charge. But when the New Jersey line tried it and the whole army was in danger of falling apart, Washington crushed the rebellion and executed the leaders.

As a young man, Washington seems to have suffered a continual series of fail ures with women. We know of at least five girls over whom he was deeply lovesmitten and wrote poems such as this one: Ah! woe’s me, that I should love and conceal. Long have I wish’d, but never dare reveal.

At Newburgh, New York, in 1783 the dissatisfied army offered to make Wash ington king, but he immediately squelched that idea. So the army drew up a resolu tion, one section of which called for armed rebellion against Congress and no help against Britain. When they presented it to Washington, he began: “Gentlemen, you will permit me to put on my specta cles, for I have not only grown grey, but almost blind in the service of my country.” After that what soldier could complain?

But Wasli'. .on seems to have been very self-con \«s around girls, and he another man — in one lost each one case to his e:. . st friend.

Finally, at twenty-seven, Washington married Martha Curtis, but this was more a marriage of convenience than love. He never did find the beautiful family life he craved. We know Washington as our great gen eral during the Revolution and would like to picture him leading an army of loyal men and officers. Unfortunately this was not always true. One major conspiracy, 161

Once in a while Washington got home to Mt. Vernon, which must have been a busy place. From there Washington ran a regular ferry across the Potomac for twenty-one years, and his own boats sold fish from his fishery along the Atlantic seaboard. Washington was very careful and exacting in his farming. In fact, he is considered to be one of America’s first scientific farmers because of his pioneer experiments in crop rotation. He would spend hours by candlelight counting seeds. In his diary he records 8,925 in a pound of barley, 71,000 in a pound of red clover, and 298,000 in a pound of timothy. Once when he ordered two barns built, he esti mated to the builder it would take 139,980 bricks for each. George Washington was a real person; he suffered much to earn the title Pater j. v. Patriae.

The New Face in the Foxhole Modern warfare, its psychology to its wea pons, is the subject of February’s lead article. John Mittelstaedt, a senior from Oshkosh, studies Viet Nam as an example of limited war. Next month Gerhold Lemke will discuss the explorations, discoveries and limitations of modern science.

"M"obody expects wars to be fair. Old * * men make them and young men fight them. It would actually be hard to ima gine what a world without wars would be like. War or the threat of war seems to be man’s permanent environment. Nor has there yet been devised by man a workable substitute for it. Today we stand not only in the shadow of the bomb, but also face to face with an escalating war in Viet Nam. Possibly never before have disarma ment talks and peace proposals sounded quite so futile. The whole of human history is a his tory of war. It has been computed that over the several thousand years of record ed history there has been an average of 2.6135 wars a year. And this condition has not changed. Throughout the world right now there are wars, ranging in size from localized warfare among primitive tribes to major air raids by jet B-52’s over dense jungles. As one leading French stra tegist recently put it: “There is no longer such a thing as war and peace, only dif ferent levels of confrontation.” Some historians have also pointed out that a sizeable war tends to occur about every generation. In a quarter of a cen tury the old generation which experienced and fought the war gives way to younger, bolder, ambitious men who want to change things. And in the course of changing things they choose or stumble into war. Analysts believe it is no coincidence that the span between 1917 and 1941 is ap proximately that of a human generation.

And if you haven’t already realized it, they point out that we stand dangerously close to another quarter century mark. The truth is that the big nations of our time have grown muscle-bound realizing the awful possibilities of then own strength, and that the United N; >.■ ;s has become ever more helpless in pn . nting conflict. The discouraging thing * '.he disruption of balance between man s bility to make war and his ability to keep peace. The search for world securitv has led many a nation to fashion bigger : nd better bombs. Our nation alone has spent during the last few years a fantastic average of well over S50 billion a year for defense. Nearly twenty-one years ago the world learned that the atom had been split and its power extracted. Hiroshima and Naga saki were to divide the primitive past from an altogether new era. We might say that in a sense war had become obsolete. From then on it would be hard to imagine how a rational person could desire war. It cannot be denied that the mere physical existence of atomic weapons has contri buted to international order. The late President Kennedy graphically illustrated the enormity of the thermonuclear threat when he said that the “world’s nuclear stockpile contains . . . the equivalent of 30 billion tons of TNT- about 10 tons for every human being on earth. The frightening thing about war itself is that it requires only one human deci sion, to begin it. And win, lose, or draw, atomic war holds little prospect of better-

ing our condition. Nor does it seem to be any longer true that heroic resistance must ultimately result in a people’s tri umph. On the basis of the laws of chance alone some have hypothesized the possi bility of an “accidental” war. You may remember the book “Fail-Safe” by Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler, which cre ated quite a stir a few years back. In it the authors conceive of a situation in which an error in the complex computers of the U. S. Strategic Air Command at Omaha triggers a nuclear war. Assuredly such an occurrence is most unlikely, al though these “infallible” machines have been known to falter. For example, dur ing the Berlin crisis the moon cast a radar image that looked on early-warning screens like a missile attack. Most experts in the field believe, how ever, that nuclear war is highly unlikely, at least not within the next ten years. They, in fact, believe we are moving away from bigger wars. Or as one expert put it, “In nu-. ‘car war you think twice about pressing buttons. You stay cool.” If it’s true the a nuclear exchange the United States . ids in danger of losing 150 million lit certainly someone’s go ing to have to nk twice.

now carries with it the possibility that they will be among those who will meet their death overseas. Even the college student is no longer immune. From a position of a few hundred advisors in Viet Nam we have escalated to nearly 200,000 troops, and it seems likely that this number will shortly be more than doubled. As was said, this war in Viet Nam re presents a new kind of war for the U. S. It is limited war, and it undoubtedly is the type of fighting we will be continuing to employ for the next half-century or more..And what many people fail to realize is that it has a moral purpose too. This pur pose is simply to preserve freedom for South Viet Nam and other countries near it that Communists might overwhelm. Or as Lyndon Johnson has explained, “We seek no wider war.” Certainly no issue is quite so much a part of the news as the Viet Nam situa tion. Nor is there an issue today which is quite so hotly contested. There are those who feel we should go in with no holds barred and attack North Viet Nam, and quite oppositely there are those who would accept Hanoi’s demands for unconditional withdrawal from South Viet Nam. The ordinary citizen hardly advocates either of these policies and can only be perplex ed and confused in his attempt to find the right answers. Every war produces its demonstrators, and this war has already had more than its share. One of the most striking features of these demonstrations is that the dem onstrators themselves, popularly known as “Vietniks,” have come from our nation’s college and university campuses. It is really paradoxical that such protesting college students, who are still somewhat “untouchable,” should be so overcome with their sense of self importance that they feel the burden rests with them to see clearly through the war and set the coun try on the right track; while at the same time it is to the credit of our soldiers in Viet Nam that they not only know what they are fighting for, but are convinced of the rightness of their action. If any one should protest, it should least of all be the college student, for, basically, we would have to call this war a poor man’s war. It is big enough to catch the high school dropouts and small enough to do

TATE and others like us may be scarcely conscious of the bomb. We no longer have such a thing as a fallout-shelter mania. And yet I doubt whether our na tion has ever been quite so war-minded in the years following the Korean War as it is now. The impersonality of the bomb has been replaced by a very personal war in Viet Nam. This is a different kind of war; it has a “new face,” at least as far as we Americans are concerned. Our gen eration is getting its first real taste of what war can be like. Young men be tween the ages of 18 and 26 have become extremely conscious of the draft, for it 163

The average American also tends to underestimate the enemy. On the surface the Viet Cong guerrilla does not appear to be a particularly formidable adversary. He is often youthful, and physically he averages only 5’ 3” in height, 120 pounds. But he is well disciplined, brave, and, above all else, he is fighting for a cause, wrong though it may be. As one Ameri can officer said, “I wish we could match them in troop quality and motivation.” The Viet Cong guerrilla is most ingenious; French perfume bottles are converted into

Viet Cong gadgetry extends to their fortifications. The communist guerrilla in Viet Nam probably spends more time in digging than any other military activity. Over the years they have built a vast net work of underground tunnels, cleverly concealed fortifications in many thousands of hamlets. Often government operations chase guerillas into an area where they feel they are cornered, only to find that the Viet Cong has moved into one of its own bastions. And attacking one of these tun nel networks is normally a bloody business.

The hard thing for America’s forces is to adapt themselves to this new and often primitive war. It is equally difficult for our weapon designers, accustomed to de signing Polaris missiles, to begin thinking in terms of the crossbow, which in this war is infinitely more valuable. Such things as crossbows and spear catapults are actually being employed by the Viet

Cong. In 1963 a U. S. helicopter stagger ed back to its base with a spear in its belly. American forces are not without their own particular gadgetry either. One inter esting innovation is a new type of film capable of differentiating between foliage and camouflage foliage. Aerial spraying has also been used for the defoliation of trees and plants. A particularly contro versial innovation is the use of lie detec tors as a means of distinguishing innocent farmers from Viet Cong. Experimenters are even now working on a uniform that will change colors with the terrain. But by far the real work-horse of the war has been the helicopter. The philosophy be hind its use in Viet Nam is based on the idea of lightning assaults by large troop forces in remote places. America has sought unconventional weapons to fight an unconventional war. The Viet Cong, on the other hand, have been content to fight a war with weapons so conventional they are almost primitive. But for Americans the really unconventional part of this war is that its major weapons are words and not gadgets.

To Americans one of the dirtiest as pects of the war is the widespread use of terror by the Viet Cong. The catalogue of Viet Cong atrocities is long and nauseat ing. Terrorists have mined and grenaded scores of buses and taxis. Many Vietna mese are in fact nervous about being in public places with Americans. Vietnamese bus drivers generally will not take Ameri can passengers, and if they do, most of the Vietnamese get off. In Saigon French and British merchants prominently dis play their national flags as if to say, “We are not Americans. Don’t waste your bombs on us.” But even Americans are forced to admit that terror can be an ex tremely useful weapon in a strange war. We are organizing guerilla-type units and waging a campaign of selective terror a165

gainst the Viet Cong. All modem wars have been terrible in a general way. But I think we’d have to say that they were frightening in an impersonal way. Viet Nam is rather a highly personalized war in which specific terror against specific people is a prime weapon. Americans also seem to look down on propaganda and do feel a little uneasy about using the technique. The Viet Cong, on the other hand, have used propaganda extensively and to their advantage. For example, following the coup it took the Government psychological warfare people nearly ten days to get the story out, and even then not effectively. Yet on one part of the Mekong Delta, within twenty-four hours of the coup, Viet Cong were passing out their own highly slanted, mimeograph ed version. Daily reports are circulated of new “atrocities” committed by Americans.

We do, however, realize that getting to the people is very important in winning the war. Our forces have tried such things as dropping pamphlets or using airplanes with loud-speakers. But these efforts have been markedly unsuccessful. There is a strange suspicion and cynicism in the Viet namese that makes them almost immune to propaganda that depends on mass com munication means. They are possibly the world’s least gullible people. They auto matically reject all official statements as lies. It is utterly inconceivable to them that America should be trying to help Viet Nam in a genuinely altruistic way. If a Vietnamese is told that some Ameri can has volunteered to serve another tour in Viet Nam, he might reply, “Yes, our girls are pretty, aren’t they?” The American in Viet Nam faces stag gering odds. Somehow he must aid in keeping his patient alive, at least for twen ty years or so, long enough for a new gen eration to grow up with new ideas and ideals. The challenge has been thrown down to America, and, in a sense, Ameri ca is on trial here. It is an inglorious war, a war of military tactics somewhat loath some to Americans. Even military success does not always spell victory here. As some one said, it is a war in which “nice guys finish last.” There never is an easy way in war.

He Was A Poet

But people notice his poetry. He pick ed some wild names for his books of poems - like &>, lxl, xaipe — and used unusual attention-getting forms.

■"Fo put it one way, he was cool. J- He looked tough. His nose was noble, his lips large, his eyes sharp, and his cheek bones were like an Indian’s. He seemed taller than he really was. But the big thing about him was that he thought for himself. He went to Har vard, studied Greek and English and got an M. A., but he was never one to play the intellectual. He used to take his father’s car — clergyman’s license plates and all — to the burlesque joints. They called his father a liberal for preaching things like “the kingdom of heaven is no spiritual roof garden; it’s inside you.” But if that was liberal, it’s hard to say what you would call his son. He once wrote and even if it’s Sunday may i be ■wrong for whenever men are right they are not young As you see, he didn’t like to use capi tal letters. He claimed that as far as he knew, no other language capitalized “I”; he said it was artificial. This idea of be ing young or not being young was im portant to him. He always thought young — of beautiful girls, spring days, and free dom. He hated clocks and calendars, dry intellects and science, mass thought and security worship, and Sigmund Freud. Other writers became negative when they looked at this crazy modem world, but not he. A lot of people didn’t like what he had to say or how he said it. Some said that his first poems sounded like those of a college student who got an “A” in English and was showing off, and that his last were no better. Others claimed that he had nothing to say, that spring and girls and individualism are not enough. Still other critics called him sloppy in his use of words — words like “strong fragile”, “skillful uncouth”, “precise clumsy”, and “laborious casual” just don’t go together. They said his work was not concentrated, not intellectual, and not precise. It’s been joked that students are overwhelmed by his work, but professors just shake their heads.

GOLDING This month*s Black and Red book review is an analysis of the novels of William Gerald Golding. Gerhold Lemke discusses Golding's works with an emphasis on his conception of the condition of man.

of little savages, the pig hunters. In the end, Ralph is the object of a man-hunt when rescue comes in the form of a Bri tish cruiser engaged in a man-hunt of much greater scale. Thus the innate de pravity of all social systems, reduced here to the scale of a few small boys, is power fully demonstrated.

TA7hat is man? And what is his place VV in a spiritually empty society? These questions typify the spirit of our age as natural man, who has lost all sense of the reliability of his values in the flames of the Second World War, tries to “find” him self and construct a new system of lifeprinciples. The works of William Golding show us why men need such a system and also why man by himself will never suc ceed in finding one. William Golding is an English novelist, born in 1911, in Cornwall. His first and most successful work, Lord of the Flies, is drawn from his 17 year term as a junior master in the Bishop Wordsworth School in Salisbury. His experience as a lieuten ant in the Royal Navy during World War II influenced his second novel, Fincher Martin. Golding states that before the war “you would have found me to have been an idealist with a simple and naive belief ., . that man was perfectable.” The war changed this. As the emperor tells Phanocles, a Connecticut Yankee-type Greek sci entist in Rome, in The Brass Butterfly, Golding’s only short story, “Anything pow erful, in the hands of a man ... is like a sharp knife in the hands of a child.” There is nothing wrong with the knife or the man, but “the trouble is in his nature.” This “trouble” is the main theme of Wil liam Golding’s five novels.

We find, in Fincher Martin, that this society can be represent'd by one man. Christopher Martin is th< sole survivor of a torpedoed destroyer "■••d is cast up by chance on a barren rock the North At lantic. Weakened by .sure and food poisoning, he begins to hallucinate, stav ing off madness with sL. < slips into his past. Here we are jolted by Martin’s bar ren personality — as empty as the rock on which Nature is devouring him as he sel fishly devoured and ruined others. Chris, who has never aimed for more than bare survival, fails, and goes entirely mad. It is only on the last page, when his body is washed up on the English coast, that we learn that he died seconds after hit ting the water, and that his ordeal was a hell entirely of his own creation.

! A review of these first three novels shows us how Golding accomplishes his purpose of emphasizing man’s natural spiritual vacuum by following the action through the eyes of one main character. This method, though criticized in Golding as too subjective, rises above all difficul ties while maintaining and augmenting the impact on the reader. Golding makes use of his own firsthand observation of himself and others to build an engrossing story. Narration and description work to gether to act powerfully on one’s emotions. Golding successfully applies this same in trospective method, looking through the eyes of another, in his last two novels, The Inheritors and The Spire. The Inheritors, told mainly through the bewildered impressions of Lok, last of the Neanderthal strain, is the story of his family’s unequal confrontation with the more intelligent but violent ancestors of homo sapiens. Unlike Lord of the Flies, which dwells O; man’s return to the state of darkness from which he originally “em erged,” this sto takes the opposite tack and tells the h - tale of the extinction of a gentle rat inch still thinks in terms of “pictures,” :• the hands of more “civil ized” invaders \\ hen the story shifts from Lok to follow tiv: fortunes of the new men, we learn that knowledge alone cannot blunt savage tendencies. Instead, with knowledge comes panic and fear of the yet unknown. As the story ends, we watch the new men fleeing across a lake in their dugout canoe, and hear one of them, as he works on a piece of ivory, ask hope lessly: <fWho would sharpen a point against the darkness of the world?”

Golding’s last novel. The Spire, (1964), is his most involved and introspective work. Jocelin, the dean of an English cathedral, is inspired by his personal angel to complete the building with a 400 foot tower, a point sharpened “against the darkness of the world” and directing men’s thoughts to God. The result is not exultation, but chaos. The spire, symbolic of all the works of civilization, has no foundation save the rubble which fills in the swampy site on which the cathedral was constructed 150 years before. The stone pillars on which the spire is set shriek under the impossible stress and are found

to be hollow. And yet Jocelin drives the artisans to build ever higher. -

Meanwhile, worship becomes impossi ble, the laborers profane the cathedral, and Jocelin himself becomes spiritually fanatic and bodily debilitated. The pinacle is finally capped and, as a storm rises, Jocelin climbs the shuddering tower to “anchor” it with a spike sent by the Pope. Following this effort, the dean suc cumbs to his illness and demands, as he dies, “Has it fallen yet?” It has not, but it stands knocked awry by the storm and, like man himself, imperfect. Jocelin fails because he, like all men, though created in the image of God with dominion over all creation, has revolted against God’s creation and thus can build nothing per fectly. In The Spire, William Golding com municates the growing tension to the read er. He shows deep insight into the struggles of the dean. At the same time, he develops and plots the characteristics of those who are injured by his ignorance of human limitations.

JiUuun t*

William Golding, in his novels, gives us a complete philosophy of the failure of natural man to make good. But he, like many of his contemporaries, has yet to rise above this negative statement with a positive declaration of the one hope which is capable of lifting man out ot his G. L. spiritual darkness.

Tests and Testing T n a recent questionnaire a representative portion of the student body was asked to express their opinions on various as pects of classroom testing. Only a small percentage feel that the assigning of grades is the primary purpose of testing. Only one in six believes that students should be marked solely on test results. Daily preparation and classroom response should play a part in the grade, but con duct and attitude should not be included in the course mark. About 40% think that the main purpose of tests is to provide the students with incentive to work. Another 40% believes that the main purpose of testing is to help the teacher and students evaluate how well the material of the course is being learned. Teachers can then take steps to correct any gaps or weak spots in their teaching, and students know where they failed to pick up important concepts or facts. A clear majority of those responding feel that tests at Northwestern are clearly worded and place a fair empha sis on the important points of the course, but they name specific exceptions. Juniors and Seniors prefer between two and four tests a semester in lecture courses, depen ding on the subject. Smaller checks are appropriate in some language courses. Un derclassmen seem to prefer a larger num ber of tests in all courses. Students are nearly unanimous in their opinions about most types of tests. Types discussed were multiple choice, true and false, matching, completion, es say, and a combination.

Although multiple choice is the big thing in professionally prepared form tests, it sees rather limited use at North western. The few people who commented on the type liked it because it was easy and required less knowledge of the sub ject than total recall tests. This observa tion is probably true only of those multi ple choice tests in which there is only one right answer. It is another story when all the answers are correct and one has to pick the best answer. Multiple choice has advantages because it can be used to measure a larger amount of material than re-

call tests, and because it is easy to correct. These advantages are outweighed, how ever, by its defects. If it has only one right answer, it is often too easy. If it has only a best answer, it does a poor job of evalu ating a student’s grasp of the material be cause it gives credit only for the correct answer without considering the quality of the thought by which the student reached his decision. Such tests are objective only in the marking. They are still completely subjective in the make-up of the questions. Questions which appear clear to the testmaker are often ambiguous to another person. Although a person may have logi cal grounds for another answer, he can gain no credit for it. Worse, the more deeply a person thinks, and the more he knows, the more likely it is that he will find ambiguities or contradictions. This fault occurs in all tests that require a se lection of alternatives. A pair of actual examples will illustrate this principle! The average student would no! hesitate to say that the statement “Coo. r Washington was born on Feb. 22, 17. is correct. On ly an extremely alert student would ob serve that Washington v.. - born on Feb. 11, and that his birthdr. .is changed to •itched to the Feb. 22 when America Gregorian calendar in IV; and pause to consider the possibility i: the statement is false. If given the o ion “Emperor is the name of A) a striuo. quartet, B) a piano concerto, C) a vii!: sonata,’*! most students would think oi i<cethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto and immediately answer B, but another student who is also familiar with Haydn’s Emperor Quartet would face a dilemma. He might wonder, “Is the tester trying to trap me, or is he less com petent than I?” He finally takes a guess and moves on. If his uneasiness leads him to reject the obvious answer, it can only be one wrong, but more damage than this has been done. The student has begun to doubt the validity of the test and begins to find traps where there are none. He will always be suspicious, and the time he wastes thinking may prevent him from doing a decent job on the last part of the test. This is especially true on a large scale test like the National Merit tests, but ap plies to some extent to every test that re-

quires a choice between alternative ans wers. Until the student learns to stop thinking and play his hunches, his extra mastery of the subject will count against him, rather than help him. The true - false test is strongly con demned by Northwestern students, and it probably is the worst type of test. It is easy to make up and correct, but it is also easily abused. It can cover a lot of ground because students can answer a lot of ques tions in a short time, and it is good for quick check-ups, but it is often inadequate because it may place the emphasis on the wording of the question, rather than on the thought content. The basis of many true - false tests is deception. It is often difficult to tell just what the point of the question is, unless the fault is so obvious that the question is worthless. It favors the student with a logical mind, and clever ness can often make up for a lack of know ledge. The “best" thing about it is that the student ha s a 50-50 chance, even if he knows nothin bout the question. It should be users nly for certain material, a lot of controversial because then problems that neither true nor false. It takes extre -are and effort to make a good true a -Ise test. Many studlike matching because it can be use the who, what, where and when type testing without complete memorization o the material. Its most im portant use is checking up on this type of factual knowledge when the scope of material is too large for the use of total recall tests, as in large history or science reviews. The n u m b e r of questions and choices in one section should be limited so that a lot of time is not wasted looking through answer columns Choices should be arranged in some logical sequence such as alphabetical order. A few extra choices should be included to minimize guessing by process of elimination. Completion and essay tests can be grouped together as total recall tests, in contrast with the recognition tests discus sed above. The students polled did so when they expressed the opinion that the most effective test is a combination of completion and essay. The completion

test should be used to test the retention of key facts because it does the best job of distinguishing between those students who have mastered the material and those who have not. It is weak because completion statements closely related to the text or notes often require only last-minute mem orization, rather than understanding. Facts merely memorized are easily forgotten un less there is understanding behind them. This defect can be remedied by requiring the student to express himself in essay forms. Although the students listed many defects in the essay test, they nevertheless believe that it is the best single test form. A large majority believe that there may be some favoritism in the grading of essays, unintentional and otherwise. Students dis like having one large question count a major part of a test, but this fault can be lessened by using shorter essay questions, by using broader questions that offer a little more latitude, or by offering a choice of questions. The essay’s redeeming fea ture is that it allows the student to justi fy his answer and his line of reasoning, and it allows him to show what he knows, even if he did not concentrate on the same points as the instructor does. Taken to gether, completions and essay complement each other and cover each other’s defects. This combination, together with an occa sional sample of the other types of test ing, does the best job of fulfilling that other unpopular, but necessary function of j. b. testing — assigning grades.

Winter Carnival “Kommt Fruehlingswetter, so geht der Schnee” was briefly what happened as the winter oozed out of Winter Carnival. But resourcefulness is the mark of a North western student, and we muddied through. Interest was high as the coeds clashed at basketball. Tertia and Quarta vanquish ed Quinta and Sexta, 23-15. Mary Prange and Virginia Leyrer were the “gunners” for the upper classes, while Sarah Zell and Mary Schuett were high point “men” for Quinta and Sexta. In the tug of war physical prowess (and bulk) told for the Juniors as they out-pulled the Sophomore team for first place among the collegiatcs. For the preps Quinta overcame Tertia. In soccer the Sophomores and the Seniors fought to a tie on the mud flat. Tertia won over the other prep teams.

The fourth annual Pop Concert, dedi cated to former band conductor Professor Westerhaus, was held in the gym on Fe bruary 13. The selections were chosen, in part, to highlight the different sections of the band. In the first part March A-GoGo, Debussy’s Claire De Lune for the wood winds; Morning, Noon, and Night In Vi enna; and the Klaxon March featuring the French Horns were played. The Male Chorus sang Director Leh mann’s arrangement of a medley of favor ite American songs from the Eastern Sea board to Hawaii. The audience was especi ally enthusiastic about the representative of Milwaukee — Roll Out The arrel. The Chorus also sang a selection of the med ley as an encore. The band then continued with Them Basses for the tubas, songs from Brigadoon, Java, for the trumpets especially. Alley Cat, and a Tribute to Glenn Miller. The two encore numbers were representa tive of two generations — Ramblin' Rose and a band arrangement of three Beatles’ songs. The rousing Sousa march, The Stars and Stripes Forever, concluded the program. Between March 18 and 21 the Touring Chorus will make a tour of some of the smaller congregations in the surrounding area. A major purpose in the formation of this group was to visit the smaller churches which support our musical or ganizations. This was previously impos sible because of the group’s size. On March 13 Mrs. Sook Ihn Saw will give a piano recital at 7:30 in our gym. No contributions will be asked at this pub lic concert. March 27 is the date of the Easter Concert. E. F.

George Williams The Trojans lost a good chance to give the home crowd a conference victory when they handed George Williams a 76-67 vic tory. The Trojans stayed close all the way but could never take command. When ever an opportunity to take the lead pre sented itself, ball control errors effectively eliminated it. Crowd morale was low, and comments became cynical as the game progressed. Hahm’s 23 points gave him a total of 77 points in the last three games. Kelm backed him up with 16.

Concordia Concordia racked up its second victory of the season against the Trojans with an 83-71 win in Milwaukee. A burst of scor ing in the middle of the first half enabled Concordia to move to a 12 point halftime lead. The Trojans kept pace the second half but could not make the necessary comeback. Art Koepsell poured in 27 pts. for the Trojans.

Editorial of dissent is improvement. Remember though, that life is a continuing experi ence and education. We evaluate and re evaluate as we better understand. We see more clearly today than we did yesterday, as seniors than as freshmen. Back your evaluations with fact, your dissent with convictions — then be ready to look again and reevaluate when you’re proven wrong.

The word “maturity” has been used so often it has almost reached the point of disuse. Rare is the person or class that has not been accused of “lacking maturity.” If nothing else, “immaturity” has become a handy diagnosis for many a disorder arising in student life. It is not surprising then that few really know what maturity is and even less feel they have attained it. Often it seems the mature person is por trayed as someone secure, well-liked, and something called adjusted, but such is de cidedly not true.

I minded. “You know we can’t play at the tables. Let’s go.” They shoved their chairs aside with an eager display of force and strutted up to the bar — all, that is, except the stranger. His obesity forbade energy. Neither did he follow his comrades but ambled over to the center of the bar and set his mug on the counter. He stared into the glass. They shook dice at the other end.

At the same time Howie set his mug quietly in front of him and opened his left hand, ushering up a gesture to aid what he was about to say. But the stranger jerked the mug from his swollen lips and continued without prompting. “Did you ever see rats, kid?” “Yes. Back once when I. .. ” “I don’t mean once or a rat. I mean all the time and lots of rats — in your own house. Crawling over your bed at night. Running out of a corner when you come barefoot into the kitchen every morning.

A flame of laughter shot up from the customers behind Howie. He looked over his shoulder with a self-conscious grin, but it was only his peanut-throwing friends joking with the cop. Howie’s attention re turned when he heard the ripple of beer falling into the stranger’s glass and was somewhat surprised to find his own filled again. “Th. . .thank you,” Howie uttered. The bartender only grinned, wiped his hands on his apron, and continued washing the dirty glasses. The stranger was not a fellow to reject a free drink. He poured it down like a little kid who’s afraid that his big brother will take his pop away. “Now, about skid row. . . ” He wiped his dripping chin with the back of his hand. “Why you wanna know about it?” “Just curious.” “Then you’re like all the others. Just curious. Were nothin’ but a circus — a bunch of animals that social workers throw peanuts to. Just like this.” He spun one of the peanuts lying on the bar and then crushed it between the counter and the palm of his hand. “Them social work ers give us a lift all right. Why, just last week they took my little sister, too.” The volume of his speech had attracted more than a few eyes. “She’s probly in a nice little cage now, too, with all the peanuts she can eat. You wanna know what skid row is like. You gotta live it, kid. You gotta live it, if. . . if’ Howie watched his head slump to the bar, and he almost lost his balance as the stranger dumped his full weight onto the bed of peanuts below. He lay there like some stuffed pig. The three comrades laughed. “We’ll take him home, officer. No need for you to bother.” Two of them picked him up by the armpits and the Italian-looking one kind of pushed him from behind. When they disappeared behind the oak door, Howie sauntered back to his table. “A friend of yours?” Chuck smirked. “You’re lucky he didn’t pull a knife on you or something, being from the other side of the tracks and all, you know.” Howie lit a cigarette. “Yeah, I know.”

The Sea And The Sky The Black and Red’s lead article for March traces scientific advances in man’s quest toward the unknown. Gerhold Lemke, a senior from Waukegan, Illinois, discusses the progress and likelihoods of exploration both in space and at the oceans’ depths.

OciENTISTS CAN DO ANYTHING given ^ enough money. This, of course, overstates the case, but it is indicative of the role which science plays in our lives. Man will know. And once he knows, he con trols and shapes his environment to his own use and advantage. Long confined to the surface of the earth, men now are going deeper and ris ing higher than ever before. As they pro ceed, they find that sea and sky are essen tially the same. Both are hostile environ ments. Men must travel in each within mobile, protective shells — the space ship or the submarine. Each environment de mands special equipment for venturing outside the ship: 22-layer space suits, or aqualungs and wet suits. And whether deep in space or deep under water, every explorer is always surrounded by the un known. The gloom is gradually being dispelled despite limitations in equipment and me thods. It is now known that the oceans, like the atmosphere, are disturbed by cur rents even in the deepest hole. This cir culation provides oxygen for sea animals even at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Around the earth there is a con centrated micrometeorite (dust) belt on the outer fringes of our atmosphere. Be tween 550 and 12,000 miles out are the Van Allen Belts, discovered in 1958, which fluxuate in intensity and consist of trapped solar particles. Proton swarms released from the sun during solar flares constitute the greatest hazzard to space travel. The

Van Allen Belts shield low-orbiting astro nauts from them. The Soviets report that ionized gas, mostly hydrogen, is present up to 14,000 miles out. A weak radiation belt extends 50,000 miles from the earth. In space itself. Explorer X VI found that long-feared meteoroids arc too fluffy to do any damage to a spa ; aft.

Venus is insulated by 15 to 40 miles of light-reflecting clouds with no water vapor and a surface tem perature of about 800° F. Mariner II found also that Venus lacks a magnetic field. Jupiter, with a temperature of 70° F. (?), is covered with thousands of miles of noxi ous gases stirred by gigantic storms. Like Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune may have strong Van Allen Belts. Travel in space is difficult, to say the least. Some metals slowly vaporize, while others, if in contact for a time, “grow” to gether in a cold weld. Greasy lubricants evaporate.

: fleeting pressure on every object equiva lent to that of two cigarettes on one acre of land. Getting out into space depends on the first stage booster rocket. Redstone orbited our first Mercury capsule. Juno II lofted Pioneer IV, the first solar satellite. The Jupiter series has been a workhorse since 1958. The Titan series, like the Atlas, burns tricky liquid fuels. Centaur is being readied to take Surveyor to the moon. Currently, the best U. S. rocket in use is the Saturn IB, developing 1,600,0001b of initial thrust. (Russia had one twice as big last year.) Saturn is being used for the Gemini flights, which, as President Ken nedy promised after the Bay of Pigs, will lead to Apollo and a man on the moon. A Saturn C-5, using five F~1 rocket engines developing 7,500,000 lb., will do the job. Once in space, one has to think about getting back down to earth. This is being done by means of a blunt, ablating (va porizing) nose cone which enters the at mosphere r m flat angle.

Russian astronauts land economically and patri otically in Russia. Space flight is possible only because of technological breakthroughs such as the transistor, first demonstrated in 1948, and the swift computers and built-in guidance systems which the transistor makes pos sible. Necessary microminiturization of parts and circuits is paying off in deep space exploration. Nuclear reactors and ion plasma engines are being developed for deep space use. The most promising engine today is the solid-fuel rocket which, like the Navy’s Minuteman, requires mini mum maintenance and therefore costs less. We now have one developing 3.6 million lb. of thrust for more than a min ute. Every rocket, even the ion engine, must expend fuel until it is empty. There are no gas stations in space. Vostok, Mercury, Freedom 7, Liberty Bell 7, Friendship 7, Vostok II & III, Sig-

Lovell, who stayed up four teen days in Gemini 7 with Borman, re ported, “There is no limit to how long man can exist in weightlessness.” That was only enthusiasm. Jet pilots learn to ignore inner ear sensations during weight lessness, but doctors can’t ignore astro nauts’ loss of weight or loss of bone calci um when the body is not subjected to nor mal earthly stress. There is also loss of red blood cells and blood volume. It took only three days for the Gemini 7 men to readjust after landing, but what will hap pen on voyages longer than the 14-day trip to the moon and back is anybody’s guess.

problem in living under the waves is water pressure and the dan gerous “bends.” Unlike space exploration, any number of people can and do enter the water. Experienced free divers can cruise as deep as 130 feet for up to 15 minutes. To obviate the necessity for long decompression ascents, divers are spend ing days and weeks in underwater shells. Sealab I & II and the French Con Shelf III, 330 feet down in 1965, proved that men can live and do research and useful work, as in off-shore oil operations, for extended periods of time underwater. The Navy bathyscaphe Trieste descended 37,800 feet. More agile submarines, such as the new Star III and Aluminaut, are being built for exploration and eventually for work. The ocean hides great potential riches in food and minerals. For this rea son private capital is investing heavily in oceanographic research. he major

i them well — their good points as well as their bad. The type of people we are deal ing with makes a difference, too; we have such a concentration of critical intellects that there is little hope of their overlook ing anything. For instance, a person who thinks his hypocrisy is going to go un noticed has another guess coming. One can find little comfort in the realization that almost everyone falls victim to this fault; everyone is found out sooner or later. Gossiping is another fault which is so widespread and seemingly relished at times; but still students disrespect those who practice it, even though they them selves are guilty. From all our religious training, we know what is right; we re spect behavior which conforms to Chris tian principles. We expect others to con form to those standards; but so often out wardly and to the face of the offending individual we cover our disapproval. The only way to satisfy the moral requirements of personality is to stick to what you have been taught all along. Need I say more? Th.' most frequently cited criticisms of personality follow an order something as folio « People tend to shun those who are snob* ;■■; at least, every effort will be made tear them down from their lofty perch. < he same is true of the phoney pietists the conceited, the cliquish. What about the guy who sloughs around and has no self-control? Many people mourn over those who have the gifts but waste them in useless activities. Who respects the guy who has nothing to brag about other than his drinking prowess or the number of hours he works? What reward is there for those who take the prize for most hours spent watching T. V., playing pool, or playing cards? Who respects the chapel skipper? Such people are a “yuk” to be with and, therefore, often have iittle trouble filling their rooms with people will ing to listen to them. Mistakenly this is interpreted as a mark of success; but the sad truth of the matter is that, although such people may be likable enough, no one has much confidence in them. Such people are rarely found on the dorm coun cil, in class offices, in a position of leader ship in any organization. If that isn’t enough proof, ask around for yourself. Take note, too, of how quick students are to notice neatness (even how one keeps his room) and orderliness. 187

One of the most surprising results of my interviews was the relatively high re gard for intelligence. I have always been under the impression that we weren’t too concerned with this quality — in frosh it seemed the smart thing was to keep your intelligence under your hat. Those who studied a lot seemed to be looked down upon as “greases.” A good image was any thing but academic. Now I find that when people are discussed, one question which is bound to come up is, “How smart is he?” or, “Does he get good grades?” Perhaps this obvious consciousness of intellect is once again a result of the large percentage of high intellects — at any rate, rest as sured that whenever someone discusses you, your “smarts” is bound to be a topic. Unfortunately many students admire most those who don’t study and still get very high grades. This is taken for genius; it’s fairly logical that being a genius is more flattering than being a “grease.” Never theless, it seems that the older and more mature students become, the more ready they are to respect those who diligently apply themselves. Some suggest that any resentment which crops out against the “grease” is an outward expression of one’s dissatisfaction with himself. We often hear people say, “I could do the same, if I studied as he does.” The catch is that they can’t make themselves do the same. One thing is sure — the academicallyminded individual who takes his work seri ously will come out on top in the end; the slough-off has virtually no chance at all. A lax academic attitude is construed as a sign of irresponsibility — a stumbling-block for even the most likable guy. If anyone expects that at NWC every body will idolize him because he is a good athlete, he is sorely mistaken. We definite ly take athletic ability into consideration when we evaluate anyone. Without a doubt, an athlete gains respect for his abilities, and rightly so. But any athlete will tell you that such respect as NWC doles out is nothing like that high schools bestow. Here there are no girls to moon over you and idolize you. Most NWC ath letes don’t even expect this high schoolish recognition; they know they are future ministers and will probably never play or ganized sports after they graduate any way. Students cheer not for the indivi-

dual, but rather the team as a representa tion of the school. Unlike many other schools, our athletes have to face the class room just as everyone else does. They cannot expect s p e c i a 1 grade-padding to keep them eligible — no athletic scholarships either. Those who go into athletics do so for fun or to play under a good coach; most athletes discount any desire for personal glory. Some freshmen still shimmering from the glory of high school do, however, wish there were more recognition given the athlete. As it is, just being an athlete is not enough to get the keys of the college; you must have depth of character and other talents, too.

The Illustrious Dore TN 0ur college library are two large vol1 umes of the old and New Testaments, Qerman, containing well over two hundred illustrated wood-engravings. Another accession, Dante’s Inferno, contains seventy-six such plates. When one glances at these forms of art he inevitably comes up with questi0ns. “Who is this artist?” “You these are engravings?” “What type of son created such weird and grotesque productions?” p

Students look up to those with special talents. People can prove themselves with their abilities in public speaking, acting, writing, music, or any other talent — even mechanical know-how. Perhaps it would be best to say that we respect broadness in an individual. People who can do things in addition to studying or playing sports are highly respected. It is this fourth basis which adds polish to an indi vidual, which distinguishes him from the rest of the crowd. These students are in demand whenever any outside activities are scheduled. If we take a broad look at what stu dents respect in each other, we can say they admire an intelligent, disciplined in dividual with a compatible personality. The more extra talents he has, the more he is respected. We look for those willing to accept responsibility, those who set good moral examples. We all have our failings; none of us can be perefct or ex cel in everything, but take this as an in vitation to use your gifts to the fullness of their potentiality. According to our psy chology text, the high school and college period of life is the time when we develop a sense of autonomy, a time when we gain a little confidence in our ability to compete with others of our age group. Instead of brooding over your school’s shortcomings, why not make yourself a part of it and benefit from it? In the process you will have gained the confidence of your fellowstudents. R. L.

“DANTE”

The artist, Paul Gustav Dore, was born in Strasbourg in 1832. From the name, it would appear he was of pure French stock, but due to the situation of the city, there may have been a Teutonic element. The town was part of France for various peri ods of the seventeenth century. Finally in 1871 it became part of Germany. The country is said to possess a magnificence of beauty and this must have had a pro found effect on Dore’s art, since many of his works are deep woods, ravines, or mountain passes. His characteristics are French and he is often noted as “of the French school” though in reality he belong ed to no school.

accept his paintings, and this made him “a body without a soul.” After the death of his mother, who unfailingly served as his encouragement, despondency set in. His health failed and he died in 1883, in his prime, at the age of fifty-one.

Very early in life Gustav began to draw. His mother was always ready to encourage and admire his work. His father, how ever, attempted to divert his attention by mocking him and even bribing him. Un able to dissuade him, his father took him to Paris to enroll in the “Ecole Polytech nique.” Dore was fascinated by the city. Before his father left he had secretly signed a contract with a newspaper firm to illustrate a magazine. Working parttime, he soon dropped school, comment ing that he knew more than his teachers about sketching and drawing.

rnENS of thousands of illustrations were -*■ produced by his hand. The Bible (1886), Shakespeare’s Tempest, Poems of Tenny son., Goethe’s Faust, Pilgrims Progress, Don Quixote, and Robinson Crusoe are some of the literary works he illustrated, not to mention the illustration of numerous peri odicals and a travel book of almost every country of the world.

Dore, in a manner of speaking, was a rebel. He had great facility in art and was able to produce astounding pieces without formal training. Realizing this himself, he never mastered the fundamen tals. He was a complete individualist. Seldom did he use a model; he never ask ed for advice; and when he had completed a work, he never retouched it. However, one should not consider him a mere ego tist. All criticism, even if by friends, was useless, since no one else could see the mental picture as he saw it.

Dore never married. He lived with his mother in Paris after the death of his father. The pleasantly mannered, highly energetic young man desired to be an ar tist for the “hoi polloi” rather than the elite and wealthy. As evidence of his in dustrious nature, he mastered English by studying it in his spare moments in bed. He possessed unusual bodily strength and was fond of gymnastics. This amusing incident is recorded: “SAMSON”

“When he was in Rouen some years ago, he climbed up to the highest point of the cathedral there, to the great astonishment of the crowds who looked on at this unexpected scene. But immediately after this aerial journey he was arrested by the police who accused him of hav ing placed the inhabitants of Rouen in the utmost alarm by his perilous boldness.” In 1861, the year he finished illustra ting Dante’s Inferno, he was awarded the Cross of the Legion of Honor. Though at the zenith of his career, he was not wide ly recognized. In fact, France refused to

Dore’s originality, energy and rebelli ous nature are evident in his technique of wood engraving. Without a study of the art itself it can be said that the woodengraver would use the common lead pen cil. After pencil-drawing, he would trans late these into white lines by the cutting process. Dore, in an attempt to secure a greater breadth and intensity of color, painted the wood block with a stiff brush dipped in India ink.

Tn Up the Down Stair Case we meet Sylvia Barret just as she arrives at a large New York City high school to begin the first teaching assignment of her career, and we follow her through the trials and triumphs of her first semester.

Much of the book’s great popularity is attributed to its satiric treaunent of the bureaucratic foul-ups of big city school systems. On opening day the teacher is supplied with 21 different forms and ques tionnaires to be filled out for her home room pupils, followed by a request to re port to the office if she has any spare time on her hands. The ensuing deluge of office circulars, notes from other teachers, late arrivals, and disorderly conduct keeps her so busy that she is still in the “B’s” of opening roll call when the last bell rings. There are never enough seats. Broken windows go unrepaired for weeks. The few books available are seldom those pre scribed for the course.

The method of narration is unusual enough to deserve special comment. We get the view of a person sifting through the contents of the school’s waste paper baskets. A loosely connected series of let ters, notes, administrative orders, student

Sylvia is struck speech less when she realizes that Joe has come expecting to express love and dominance in the only way his slum life has taught him. In pity she reaches out and touches his face. In the silent moment before he flees cursing, all perspective has been set aside. She is no longer insulated. They have reached each other. Joe has learned there can be love without domination. People can care for us without expecting to own us and demanding something in return. Sylvia realizes that she has wanted to be a Lady-god working permanent changes in her pupils and winning their love to her, without wanting to love them in return. An answer has been found,

more serious aspect of the book re“ volves around the conflict between two major philosophies of teaching and the question every teacher must answer, “Why am I teaching?” Miss Barret is a firm be liever in the theory that a teacher should teach students to think for themselves and should try to draw out their own thoughts, rather than restrict them and cram facts into them. She is fired with enthusiasm and is set to change things overnight. Since her type of teaching is nearly im possible in a school where affairs are so heavily regimented that enthusiasm and laughter have to be suppressed as disrup tive elements, she frequently clashes with Administrative Assistant J.

Life in the Roman Catholic Seminary ■NT orthwestern’s students are apt to complain about such things as the quality and quantity of meals, Saturday classes, faculty-student relations, the cur riculum, etc. The question has often come to mind, “Are we the only ministerial stu dents who have complaints? What about some of our counterparts in other reli gions? Take for instance the young man training to be a Roman Catholic priest.” Seeking an answer to this question, I talk ed for a few hours with a friend who at tended a Catholic seminary for two years. The high school graduate who decides to enter the priesthood must attend a minor seminary, or college, for four years and a major seminary, or theology school, for four more years. In order to enter a minor seminary the student must have a good background in Latin. If he doesn’t, he becomes a special student, but will probably still finish his studies in four years. All seminarians major in philoso phy, and most minor seminaries grant B. A. degrees. Latin is the only foreign language that is emphasized, although one other lan guage, either French or Spanish, must be taken. Language labs are used effective ly during the first year, but from then on students are expected to pick up vocables for themselves. Secular Latin is taught on the college level, and there are, of course, a number of “jimmies” floating around to aid the hard-pressed student. Greek is taught in only a few schools, and music is confined to a semester or two of Gregorian Chant. Otherwise the curricu lum corresponds to Northwestern’s with the addition of public speaking, ontology, sociology, ethics, and economics. Most of the classes except Latin are lectures. Some professors are stricter than others, but there is no reduction in grade if a class is skipped once in a while. How ever, most of the professors are very strict in grading tests, and it doesn’t pay to skip too often. There does not seem to be great com petition for grades in the minor seminary. Naturally, the students ask each other

what their grades were, but no one seems to be trying to beat the others. Most of the students consider it a great privilege to be at a seminary and just try to do the best job possible. Grades don’t really mean that much anyway. As soon as a student enters the school, he is assigned to a spiritual director, who meets with him at least once a month. If he discovers that the boy does not have the proper at titude for the priesthood, he may ask him to leave the school even if he is a straight A student. The school day begins at 5:30 A. M., when everyone gets up and dresses to go to morning prayers and Mass. In some schools a shirt and tie must be worn, while other schools require the more com fortable cassock, or robe. After Mass, breakfast, and morning duties around the dorm, classes start at 9:30. Classes usually last until noon, when a chapel service is held. Dinner is served at 12:30. The food is said to Lv good, and there are even seconds on n: Students take turns giving Scripture u ngs at all meals, and at some meals no ' is allow ed to talk. After dinner everyone s i sually free until 3:30. In some school- uvt of this both to time is used for manual develop the young man and o help the school. Some time is also • \ for recre ation. Most seminaries have canteens and clubrooms much like the one at North western with a pool table, T. V.. etc. Since the students are not allowed to have radios or record players in their rooms, the clubroom is their main source of entertain ment. Here they gather to talk about such things as sports, the world situation, and girls. Yes, girls are discussed in Catholic seminaries, but no one complains about the lack of them, and the priests in charge are glad to hear the boys take part in such normal student discussions. It is also in teresting to note in this connection that cursing is never heard in the halls of a Catholic seminary. The afternoon free time may also be used for sports. All students are expected to participate in some form of athletics at least twice a week. Dramatics, glee clubs, debating clubs, radio clubs, and school publications are also available for those who have time on their hands.

192

At 3:30 classes begin again until 5 P. M. Then there is time for study, a spiri tual reading, and supper. This is followed by a free hour, time to say the Rosary and night prayers. Each student is to study from 8:15 to 9:25, and the prefect, or priest who stays in the dormitory, may check to make sure he does. At 9:25 the Magnum Silentium begins. This means that no one may talk from that time until after breakfast the next day. Usually this and other periods of silence are followed very strictly by new seminarians, but old er students have been known to allow themselves a whisper or two.

only 3 out of every 10 seminarians ever become priests. We have much more free dom to go off campus and home when we like, to study when we want to, to wear what we want to, and to have any posses sions we can afford. Catholic seminari ans may have found the answer to many of our common complaints, but we are still far ahead of them in our regard for the rights and freedom of the individual.

The daily routine does not vary much except on Sundays when there are no classes, and students may take a walk offcampus. On other days everyone must stay on campus unless he gets special per mission from the prefect. The students are also forced to suffer through classes on Saturday mornings. Since no one may leave when he wants to, none of the students have off-campus jobs. Mi never, without a car or a girl frier •. one of them really need a lot of mor The only expenses they have are the . cessities of life and their school ing ‘.eh costs $1000 per year.

If a boy is unable to pay any of his board and tuition, he is never turned away. The school itself pays it. and if he drops out he must pay back what he owes. (In the major semi nary no student pays his own expenses, but the bishop of his diocese pays all his board and tuition whether he finishes the school or not.) Faculty-student relationships are good at most seminaries. Some of the profes sors have nicknames and know it, but they take this in stride. They let the student voice their opinions, but the faculty still has the final word. In one seminary the faculty even went so far as to treat their students to a keg of beer every few months. The Catholic seminarian does not seem to have the same complaints as the North western student. His primary gripe is his lack of freedom. This is one reason why

ie, Barney Brassie, Tommy Titleist, and Wanda Wedge. All went fine except that Donny Divot, a little neighbor kid, kept digging up the tundra with his big stick and didn’t replace his “tundra.”

The Founding of Golf ""Phe soft west wind gently spread its i- warm dry breath on the arid steppes. The sun was directly overhead sending its rays in search of water. Behind a clump of dried bushes a flock of kiwis were “pol ishing” off an ant ziggurat, and overhead a vulture soared, looking for the remains of a sabre-toothed tiger’s kill.

Thus the sport spread and all it lacked was a name, “Norton” or “Niblick" just didn’t have the right ring to them (can you imagine the PGA being the Profes sional Nortons Association). So the sport was named after Norton’s pet ape “Golf” who often shagged balls for him. It seems rather uncanny now, or should we say coincidental, that the ape is now regarded as one of the missing “links”............

Norton Niblick, dressed in a two-but ton leopard skin caveman suit, slowly trek ked across the tundra. In his left hand he carried a big stick, characteristic of all cavemen (and Teddy Roosevelt) and be hind him extended his right arm clutching the hair of a woman. Previously, Norton had been dragging a woman to his cave, but she became detached from her mammoth-hair-wig and escaped, as yet un known to Norton. So Norton stumbled forward holding the wig behind him and dreaming of the life ahead of him with his new wife. His cave had been espec ially prepared for his new wife. He had his pet anteater Will kill all the bugs in side the deep recesses of his cavernal pal ace.

As the Alumni Column breathes its last in Volume 69, we shall take one last look at another aspect of NWC as revealed by the handiwork of its alumni. The fine arts — music, drama, liter ature — have struggled along with the college and have always managed to survive in the face of all difficulties. Thirty years ago in Volume 39 the news col umn recorded an event which shocked the music world here at NWC. It does, however, give us an insight into NWC’s musical development — their choice of music, their musicianship, the hand of Fate in even the most aesthetically in clined affairs. “Arnold Lehmann (’36), already well-known for his musical abilities, has attained a new height of musical perfection. The orchestra was playing some march by Itzel-Fulton, and Leh mann's cello-playing seemed to be particularly brilliant not to speak of several solos and a cadenza. But suddenly just before the end, Leh mann happened to glance at the music of the next man and right then and there he stopped. He had - a playing the wrong piece!” In ■ .leld of literature, perhaps no other form afferod so pitifully as the short story has. ”< would look back through your old Blac? deds, I am sure you would agree with me. !\ the following short story is indicative o' iring, but to show the type of subject r 'iudents of the past wrote about and to sir they developed their ideas, we use i y entitled “Conquered” written by the sha me r • of the Class of ’39. Note how he ap proach .he problem of character development. CONQUERED “Tv..; weeks ago he had met Dona Anderson at a pa: y. She was a brunette with lovely, dark, deep brown eyes. One could hardly help falling in love with her when she looked at you with her dark, mellow eyes. . . With determination he gave his tie a final twist. He jerked his overcoat onto his tall athletic frame and then, looking in a mirror, he saw a well-satisfied expression on his face. Patricia was a young girl just out of high school. She was Irish. Her hair was blond. Her eyes had a light blue color and sparkled with indignation when she was angry. She was strong headed and usually had her way. She ruled George by the dangerous look in her eyes. . . . (George goes to Patricia’s house to tell her he’s finished with her.) With strong steps he walked back and turn ed into the sidewalk leading to the porch. . . With his last ounce of courage he mounted the steps. He pushed the button and heard the bell ring in side. His heart began to pound like a trip ham mer. . . The door opened and Patricia stood in the doorway. . . ‘Why didn’t you come to see me lately?’ said Patricia in reproving tones and pulled him to the sofa. ‘I have come to tell you--’

Patricia teasingly interrupted, ‘I think you are very handsome tonight.’ By this time he had been gradually weak ening. His face had become flushed and his brain was whirling. His strong walls of resis tance were swaying and trembling. Once more he began his speech, ‘Patricia, — I have come to tell you—’ ‘George, why are you so excited? You are trembling and shaking all over.’ Before he could hold his tongue, he softly and passionately said, ‘Patricia, will you marry me?’ That night he returned to his room a happy man. Dona Anderson didn’t mean so much af ter all. He never did like brunettes. . . .” In the field of poetry Northwestern has al ways had its poet laureate(s) or at least those who were willing to try. The editor of Volume 53, Prof. Donald Sellnow, ’50, was quite a poet in his own right. In the closing issue of his vol ume, he writes a poem which expresses the feelings of the present staff, which is putting out its final number. LEAVING THE B. & R. Final issue and not one more. And rest at last for me! And may there be no moaning, B & R, When I take leave of thee. But such a tide of deadlines has crept past. Too full for work and sweat, When I think of all I’ve written to this last And work on yet. This is the last and it too smells, And it is far from art! And there will be no sad farewells When I depart; But though from out this realm of ill-used space My work may bear me far, I hope this stuff may have its own small place When I’ve left the B & R.

good villain.” Well, if Fred didn’t prove anything else, he proved that the absur dist movement was properly named.

ewA

The Theater of The Absurd Already well known for his vivid imagination and his flair for the unusual, Fred Toppe put on one of the most unusual Forum productions ever seen here at NWC. The first of two one-act plays was entitled Foursome by Eugene Ionesco, The play’s opening literally made everyone jump out of their seats — a shattering, “Blurrrraaaap!” from the basketball buzzer. Two men dressed from head to toe in black, Jim Naumann and Dave Krueger walked out into the middle of a barren stage, pushed each other about, and began to argue in the most unreasonable manner imaginable. After several minutes of this prattle, Carl Ziemer walked out carrying a battered bicycle and promptly joined in the senseless argumentation, Finally, a pretty young lady, Sara Zell, joined them. The play ended after three flower pots fell to the floor and the pretty young lady ran off the stage pursued by the three men. Get much sense out of it? Neither did we! The second play, The Sandbox, by Edward Albee was much more sensible, comparatively speaking. The reason for this may have been Fred’s explanation of the absurdist movement; he gave his talk during the intermission, all the while sitting upon a garbage can. The curtains opened revealing a beach scene; on the right side, a 9 foot concert grand piano; in the center, a large sandbox; to the left, “Jake” Brug doing calisthenics. Mommy, Connie Albrecht, and Daddy, “Joe Roe" Schwerin, enter lugging Grandma, Mary Schuett, and chuck her into the sandbox to die; Connie and Joe seat themselves on chairs and stare blankly into the audience (by the way, this is Schwerin’s specialty). The high point comes when the angel of death, “Jake” Brug, who all along has been on stage doing exercises, walks over to poor old Grandma and plants the fatal kiss of death upon her withered cheek. When asked how he enjoyed doing it, “Jake” replied, “Oh, it was lots of yuks. I make a

Faculty-Student Lecture President Toppe conducted a discussion in the lounge of East Hall, February 27th. The topic for discussion was “Faculty-Stu dent Relations Here at . NWC.” Unlike the past lectures of this series. Professor Toppe had the students inform him about the state of affairs. In doing this, he posed several questions pertaining to a general area of discussion and asked the student^ to give their reactions. An article which appeared in the December issue oi the B & R served as a basis for discussion, in answer to his first question, “Is there a problem?” students unanimously agreed that there was. They missed guidance sessions with their professors. They resented the impersonal atmosphere ex isting between the two groups. Most students agreed that today’s studco s differ from those of yesterday, who dh!"'i want closer relations with the faculty Today they are used to, and expect mo ordial relations with the faculty. In go j T students were very candid about ssing their complaints and opinions ok ! matters which received attention. Two of the main suggestion' -or improving relations were regular consultation periods with professors and better system of communications between the two groups. The latter included official faculty reports to the student body con cerning matters pertaining to students, They suggested that this would eliminate much of the needless bad feeling which results from speculation and idle rumor, Students also urged that their feelings on certain matters concerning them be sounded before the faculty decides to act. Although Prof. Toppe had been warned that he was going into the lion’s den, he was pleased with the cordiality of his student audience. So cordial was the welcome extended him, that he didn’t have a chance to leave until after one in the morning.

1966 Bonecruncher Spectacular On March 5, most of the Senior Class made a trip to the Seminary for the annual Bonecruncher festivities. Paul Stuebs

and Tom Zarling gave a brief talk on the schedule and daily life on campus. Then the class split into two groups to make it easier to tour the school; it seemed funny to be a zoo parade for a change. On the wall of the club room we found a large poster with all of our names on it. These were our bans for next year’s initia tion, which, I am told, is quite an inter esting affair. Supper was next on the list of activities. The mealtime festivities kept everyone in good humor.

Lecture \ n Communism On ..rch 10, Dr. Ansis Karps from Bethesds Lutheran Home gave a lecture on the subject of communism. Dr. Karps is well qualified to speak on the subject, for he and his family had to leave Latvia during World War II, when the Germans and Russians moved in successively. His own son was a victim of the political up heaval. He has personally experienced the tactics of persecution which the Com munists use. Russian history is one of his favorite sidelines; his lecture showed that he has a sound background in this subject. Debate Tourney at U. of Wisconsin Our debate teams of Schmiege — Ibisch and Fredrich — Schweppe made a very good showing for NWC in the Junior Di vision of the U. of W. Debate Tournament March 11-12. Forty-two teams from thirtyseven schools participated. The Ibisch — Schmiege team tied for ninth place with their 4-2 record. Fredrich — Schweppe had

a 2-4 record. The combined record of 6-6 for NWC was good enough to rank us tenth in the Junior Division. Our victories were against U. of Dubuque, Northern Michigan U., Eastern Michigan U., U. of Wisconsin, Northern Illinois U., and the U. of Iowa. Considering that this is only the sec ond year of our debate team’s existence, this showing is remarkably good. Perhaps next year more people will show an inter est in it. Both Richard Stadler and Prof. Quam merit our recognition for their good job of coaching.

B 8C R Elections March 14 sealed the fate of Volume 70. In an earlier election John Vogt re ceived the nod for the editorship; John Brug and Fred Toppe will serve as his as sistants. Neal Schroeder and Edward Fredrich will handle the business depart ment. John Wendland, a sophomore from Milwaukee, will be drawing the covers and sketches next year as art editor. Marty Stuebs from Two Rivers, Wisconsin, will handle the Alumni Department; he is an artist in his own right. Campus and Class room should be funny in the next volume. Jeff Hopf, a junior from Waukesha, be sides having a pointed nose and head, has an equally pointed sense of humor. Last, but certainly not least (he weighs 301 pounds), is our new sports editor, Ron Gosdeck, a junior from Kaukauna, Wis consin, whose favorite pasttime is prac ticing looking mean.

The surest sign of it was the renewed ac tivity and expansion of the Northwestern Couples’ Club. The close race between A1 Frey and Jim Groth for the enviable office of President of NCC has turned out to be a “front porch” campaign. Of course, there are always the spoilsports who would deny the flight of fancy’s wings — like the recent plot to limit phone calls to or from the dorm to ten minutes. I tell you, Dick, there are some things that just can’t be said in ten minutes, let alone three hours! After resigning himself to the realization that NCC membership is not for him, the average college man has time for thinking up jokes such as “Why does every railroad own twice as many trucks as cars?” Since the only thing any of us would have in common with railroading is a featherbed, Bob Heilman (it’s his joke) volunteers the information that a truck is one set of wheels on a car. Although “Computer Bob” has recently exploited a natural bent for calculus in setting up a model railroad, engineering is only one of his varied interests. It is rumored that if Bobby would only become a little more mechaniwocally inclined, develop a taste for good cigars, and perhaps attend some of the more genteel show houses, that then (considering his penchant for ev-

erything from golf to a subtle enjoyment of the Greek tragedians) he would be our first campus cosmopolitan. C & C PHILOSOPHY A question was raised lately in Vic Lit: “Which fame is more enduring — that of a great man, or that of the man who writes about him?” One answer was, “If you have a really good writer going at it, it makes no difference whether the guy ever did anything or not.” This is essenti ally the idea behind every C & C. Although your next writer, Jeff Hopf, is still one of our lesser literary lumens (see his “How To Backbite For Fun & Profit”), he says brightly that it won’t be long now and he’ll be really well lit. It was the pleasure of your Senior class to be invited to the Sem earlier this month for the “Lagoon Tour,” which gave us an idea of the Fall Entertainment to be antici pated. After the tour, we were treated to a dinner, during the course of which we were let in on a recent Sem innovation: Polack Jokes. Then there was a B n List on the off chance that any of us can'd still read it. Rod Luebchow had no b; . only special mention. John Ibisch is ia looking forward to his “Piles of Acer ulated Hate Ban,” formerly known as th< S.v.egelberg Special. Perhaps with his • , For’ . •- :*y out ensic experience he could talk his of it, but that’s hardly likely when vou’re spending the week Scuba-diving u-idcv the Lagoon without benefit of Scuba. THE END What do you have left after years and years of liberal arts? Vereinheit? Sprachgefuehl? No, only memories are left, memories ... of watching “Hullabaloo” Zehms during half time of a basketball game as he directs a frenzied There's A Tavern for the pep band while the bleacher audience almost cries laughing. Memories . . . of reading on the dining hall note board: “Forget the glorified rice — bring on the roots and berries!” Memories ... of Professor Schumann and his favorite, “You know, if you insist on tracing the etymology of a word all the way back to Noah’s Ark, you’re liable to get into deep water!” So gehts. The year is flying by, There's nothing more to tell. My pen is running dry — Perhaps it's just as well. G. L. 198

Failu tc put together two good halves cost the Trojans another chance for a con ference win, as they dropped a 79-65 de cision to U. 1. C.

Trinity The next night the Trojans dropped another close one to Trinity, 85-80. Neither team seemed very anxious to win this one, but the Trojans’ bad passes and apparent fatigue cost them the game in the end. Hahm and Kelm were top scorers with 19 and 18 points respectively.

The Trojans ended a season that had offered hopes of better things with a 4-17 record. Inconsistent shooting and inabili ty to put two good halves together cost them many potential victories. The Tro jans had to give away too much height, but did a fair job of rebounding. A big edge in field goal percentage gave most opponents their margin of victory. Dob berstein was the leading scorer with 327 points for a 15.6 average. Hahm was sec ond with 315 points and a 15.0 average. Rog Kobleske led the regulars in shooting percentages, converting 50% of his field goal attempts and 70% of his free throws. Keith Schroeder led the rebounders with 178.
