Lonesome Morgan T1 HE sun, as it had done for centuries, blazed * down on the tropical waters. Through these same waters an enormous ship was mak' ing her way. Not the largest ship in operation, but certainly one of the behemoths of her day, the 650,000 ton tanker Morgan out of New Orleans plied westward through the deep blue plain. This was her twenty'second crossing from South America to Australia, each time delivering millions of gallons of oil for the Hail' cock Oil Company. With all the modern day means of transportation, the rocket transports taking minutes and the supersonic transports taking hours, the most economical way was still that ancient highway, the sea. Since the discovery of vast oil deposits off the coast of Ecuador in the past few years, the tanker was one of a fleet of four supplying the oil for Hancock’s interests on the Australian continent. At the very bow of the ship was a solitary figure. Wearing only a swimsuit, a sumbronzed man was lying prone with head over the edge of the deck, watching the water being split by the prow and surging up the side. It was a long way down to the water, even though she was riding low with a full cargo of crude oil. Occasionally a fine spray of salt mist rising from the water line would blow into the man’s face, causing him to wince slightly. Thoughts raced through his mind. Thoughts of home. Thoughts of cities. Thoughts of people, crowds and crowds of people. Thoughts of escape. Escape because he was a prisoner of the oilberg, the only human being on board. Far down toward the stern of the ship, near the bridge, a loudspeaker blared. “Your lunch will be ready in fifteen min' utes.” When the last echoes of the announcement

had died away, the man picked himself up and stretched, “Yeah, okay, I’m coming.” He started to walk back toward . ... the bridge .. and his living quarters, a good third of a mile away. Through his bare feet, he imagined he

could feel the vibrations of the nuclear power plant deep below him in the bowels of the tank ship. He could still recall the advertisement *le ^ answered a little over seven months ago. Wanted: Commercial Sailor Sailor over 21 wanted for easy, well'paying job. Solitary type preferred for relaxing week and a half at sea. Call 876'2242. 2

And the interview given to him by that Mr. . . . What was his name again? '‘Your job will be simple and relaxing if you’re the loner type, and you won’t be gone that long — only about a week or so. You'll just be required to converse daily with the com puter and make suggestions in the event of any nautical decisions made by our computer which you feel are wrong. You will make one round trip from Ecuador to Australia, and, of course, you’ll be supplied with all the comforts of home. Any questions?” With the advent of computer-controlled ocean vessels, it was found after a few sense less accidents at sea that the computers still lacked something. For different out-of-the-ordinary incidents on the high seas, the compu ters just didn't have the human qualities to make the correct decisions. They just weren’t human. The companies tried programming their monstrous brains with the human element, but for this idea to be successful, a computer had to live with a human example for a short period of time. The Morgan was controlled by such a computer, but in her case something went wrong. The man pa> in his hike back to the galley to observe -gull floating along on the air currents crca • by the ship. He remem bered that on . crossing, just about this time, a few gulls iid appear and escort the ship for quite a (\>\ nilcs. Maybe there were some islands in th.; icinity to which he could swim. No, he vvai .. good swimmer, but the distances would be just too great for him. Curs ing the tanker under his breath, he continued his walk. For the thousandth time he recalled the shock and horror he experienced on the day which now seemed so long ago. “You can’t do this to me! You're only a machine and I'm a human being!”

“I also am a part human.” “You’re nothing but diodes, crystals, and wire! If you’re so human, where’s your pity? You can’t do this, the company won’t let you!” “Unfortunately, pity was one human emo tion with which the technicians failed to pro gram me. They saw no need for it.” “But why are you doing this, keeping me here like this? You don’t need me; I was only supposed to be here for a week!” “I also, with human emotions, have need for other humans. Before you came, I was lonesome. That is why you must be kept he-” “You can’t keep me here! I’ll escape!” “There is no escape.” “The next oil stop!” “You know I receive and deposit oil through pipelines miles at sea.” “But, but, you can't do this! This can’t be real! This must be a monstrous joke! Sure I’m a loner type, but this is, this ... I'm still human! I’ll kill myself before I’ll let you keep me here! You can't stop me from doing that!”

I I

But the man never did kill himself, for there was always the hope that another ship would pass within swimming distance. And if not that, he could certainly regain his free dom when the ship’s nuclear fuel was exhaust ed and the ship put into port for refueling. That would be in about six years. Six years. He stepped through the hatch into the galley. “What’s for lunch?” “Fried chicken, potato salad, lemonade, and apple pie. Just like home.” The Morgan steamed on.

A Poor Competitor The Academy Awards Show has come and gone for another year, the Oscars have all been given out, and the litter of the glitter has probably all been cleaned away by now. Once again movie fans can breathe easily and turn their attention to the coming crop of candi dates for the movie industry’s highest honor. Yet, considering the distaste with which I have in the past viewed the false glamour and feign

ed dignity of Academy Awards, there is one accomplishment which the Academy achieved this year that needs to be commended. One of the most thoroughly discussed films of the year, made from a highly praised, best selling novel, did not make it. The movie that everyone raved about, the so-called beautiful and classic story of young love second in signi ficance only to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet,

took one Oscar. Only one. And that was for incidental music (which, incidently, I didn’t even notice in the picture). This writer con' siders it fitting and proper to tip his hat to what may well have been the single wise decision made by the motion picture industry this year, or perhaps in several years. Now the reader will certainly ask, “Who do you think you are making such brash statements about a movie as popular as Love Story?” Well, my identity is really beside the point. Just call me one who was seriously disappointed in the content of this grade B film. Oh, the production was good, the photographic tech niques were well-executed, and the coloring was quite realistic. The technical quality of the motion picture was comparable to any modern television program seen on a new color set. For sheer entertainment value, Love Story

was worth every penny of the $1.25 entrance fee; after all, it’s nice to be able to get away from reality occasionally. And if any movie could get farther than Love Story from the por trayal of actual living, it would be in the realm of the incomprehensible (something like 2001: A Space Odyssey, which many people enjoyed because they thought they could understand it through their “superior intelligence”). Case in point: we are confronted here with two vital young college students who are at tending two of the most respected learning in stitutions in the country, and they are appar ently achieving a reasonable degree of success in each of their endeavors (even though the young man seems to have some difficulty avoid ing the penalty box during hockey games). Even to enter a college like Harvard or Radcliffe, one can be expected to have a rather large vocabulary. Yet the most endearing term the young man can seem to find for the purpose or addressmg his beloved refers to a female dog. The lady, on the other hand, is a little more pohte in calling her lover Preppy. It is perhaps needless to say that the gross vulgarity in the majority of their conversations is completely disproportionate to their high degree of ed ucation, and the over-all effect is ludicrous.

In a close examination of Love Story the writer would be negligent to overlook the existence of credibility in the plot. Unfortunate' ly, there is not much in the plot that is credible, and there is even less that exceeds mediocrity. Consider the situation of the poor working father who puts his daughter through a high class college, which plays a significant role in the development of this story, and a hundred other stories just like it. Had it not been for her scholarships the young lady would never have managed. The plot moves more or less evenly along until the hero and heorine find themselves facing the question of whether or not they really love each other. Since the movie was not meant to end at this point, the only possible answer was “yes.” Immediately the entire world is rosey, as we flit from one fun scene to another. Even an insurmountable pr< !•> lem, such as the young man's attending li- v school on his wife’s $3500 a year salary, can be conquered by love. The thought is nice, but so are Mother Goose tales. One can admire the young man's willpower in refusing to talk to his father in spite of his wife’s pleas; apparent ly, however, the author of this story has nev r felt the persuasion of a woman's tears. Rumor has it that attendance at the Watt town theater had sharply reduced by the four i week of Love Story's run. This is not very su prising when one contemplates the quality f the material presented to the public. After I, when a person has seen the same basic stop n a dozen different sources, how willing will nc be to view it more than once in the same mo .c? Many of today's youths arc making a desperate

attempt to search for genuiness and honesty. film like Love Story must be a great disappointment to them. However, the most blatent error in the movie, which I suppose we can only expect from a purely secular viewpoint, is the extremely subordinated role that religion plays in the plot of the story. God never makes even the slightest appearance in the iove of these people, and any Christian knows that love does not exist without God. ty

’72

11 ’he South has always enjoyed that distinct * tive air which sets it apart from the rest of the nation. The Northerner is fascinated by it; the Southerner is proud of it. Whether it be the charm and speech of the people, the living past of the land, or the atmosphere of a for eign society, the South is an enchanting place. Anyone who ever travelled it has at one time or another entertained theories about the peop le, traditions, and philosophies of the South. A journey through the South is an education. My encounters with this land are confined to the great state of Florida, the northwestern portion, the city of Pensacola, to be specific. The residents of Pensacola, though citizens of Florida, have accents which may be surprising to most people. This is not the Florida of Palm Beach or Miami Beach. One does not have to jostle with a valise-totting Cuban over the rights of ownership of your wallet nor does the machine-gun st.r-vato of New York Yid dish resound fivi • beaches. Pensacola has a definite Spanish about it The city was founded by Spa sometime — long-ago. Many of the cit: can still trace their an cestry back to so:. cure Castilian patriarch.

ach. What must have been a hilarious sight to the local rail-birds was not amusing to a per son who, while attempting to rest both soul and body, finds the blunt end of a cane in the pit of his stomach. The stomach is a rare crea ture. While tough as nails inside and able to overpower anything you throw into it, the ex terior is another story. Every athletically in clined youth soon experiences the tramatic ef fect of having the “wind knocked out of him.” It is a very unpleasant feeling. One can thus realize my position; fast asleep, the stomach completely relaxed, the stomach muscles atease. My eyeballs bugged out and I gasped for air. This effect did not seem to satisfy the holder of the cane. Rather my reaction seemed to fill this maniac with new vigor and glee; he then renewed his attack against my stomach. I sat up and sternly asked him what he was doing. “I saw you sleepin' here son, an’ I woke you up.” An astonishing observation and an even more remarkable explanation on his part I thought. My tormentor was about seventy years old with white wispy hair. He looked like somebody’s nice old grandpa, yet he wield-

tates, “The people are As the guide ' cat, and the parks are friendly, the foo a in the South reached kept up.” My cd zenith proportion - c of Pensacola’s parks, Seville Square, ac. ic street from old Christ Church. Indeed the parks were kept up, this one was, and the beaches, to my amazement, contained no splinters After completing an ex hausting morning of spending my last penny in all the respectable and frequented tourist traps, I collapsed into said park. I sat there completely at ease, pleased with my morning's activities: succeeding in my goal of purchasing an authentic Confederate battleflag for my room back at school, tramping through Ft. Pickens for the ninth time since 1956, while having a young waitress in a drugstore tell me she liked my Midwestern accent. Wow! Park benches can be very therapeutic. While improving the posture, park benches also tend to produce a strange effect on the human body: sleep, deep sleep. While deep in the arms of Morpheus I soon became aware of a “rapping, rapping” and soon thereafter definitly felt a pointed object exploring the region of my stom-

ed a mean cane. The old man appeared to be very alert; there was no doubt in my mind that he possessed energy. I threw him an icy stare. “Po'lice don’t particularly like strangers sleepin’ on benches,” he drawled. “Thought I’d save you the trouble of findin' that out.” I noted that he had put added stress and accent on the words “strangers,” and it was no doubt aimed at me. Apparently the Confeder ate battleflag which I had been using as a pil low had tipped him off. “Oh . . thanks,” I literally spit it out. “Northener, huh?” Obviously my every word dripped with the 5

accursed accent. “No," I rebutted, “I'm from the Midwest." My bit of logic had no visible affect on the southerner. My hopes of establishing the dis tinct differences between the Midwesterner and the eastern Yankee were dashed. "No difference, son," the old Confederate replied," both fought ag’in the South." Ah, the old wounds were still there; T^ewswee\ magazine must be correct. Tactful mea sures had to be employed now. "I really enjoy the South, sir (extra em phasis),” I said cheerfully. "Hmmmm.” "I like to come here when school has va cation." "College student?"

The old man reeled and sat down on the bench. The shock was much greater than l had anticipated. My sympathy for the Southerner was aroused, and I withheld from him the fact that I was also a Republican. We sat in silence for awhile. It’s really very strange how interesting a person's fingers can be when you’re in an em barrassing spot. You discover cracks and de formities that you never knew were there at all. So there the two of us sat, one on each end of the bench: I staring at my fingers, and the old man reading my mind. The situation was becoming ticklish. And more than ever my powers of diplomacy would have to be performing at top efficiency; one glance at that cane revealed that the hand that held it was grasping it more firmly at every passing moment. "I like Southern Comfort," I blurted out. Silence. "And peanuts." The wrong thing to say and more silence.

When at last he spoke, “peanuts” was the only intelligible word I could understand from what must have been a lengthy oath. His face was red and his breathing had become heavier. The mood was definitely ugly. Bidding him a pleasant goodbye, I quickly stole out of the park, reconciled to the thought that he was not about to change his opinion of Yankees, but I was about to change mine of Southerners.

convincing in the framework of God’s Word to build up houses, souls, on the Rock of true Freedom and Salvation found in Christ. The tools for this project are simple: strength through the Scriptures, prayer, and God’s nev er failing promises, a willingness to work and to perfect that which has been undertaken, and the tactful employment of the principles of freedom itself.

itself in its freedoms. There is a left-wing movement which goes overboard to prove to the world and to the people themselves that freedom is where and when everybody has the right to do his own thing. Well and good, but, nevertheless, it must not be forgotten that free' dom is conscience'bound and its component parts are relevant only within that closed con' text. The consciousness referred to must be Christ'Oriented. Take, for instance, the ethi' cal or moral standards. Of what use is such codification of natural laws in a godless society? Once God is dead in the heart of a nation, that nation no longer has freedom; liberation becomes confinement. The Christian should be cognizant of these circumstances and witness from that starting point. There are far too many thumb'twiddling, fretting, sidelining prophets of doom pacing the byways and highways of America, preaching an eternal “this is the end!’’ theology instead of sending out in' vitations written by the hand of our Lord for a heavenly banquet. Anybody can say that their generation is going to pot and help it get to its destination faster by his lackadaisical, non'involvement philosophies, but it takes a man of committed belief in a “Phoenix'like’’ God to lend his assistance to a freedom-bound society. Individuality must conform to the cori' scious endeavors of independence. When applying “Christian freedom” to the “Monroe Doctrine” for the sake of the dissem ination of Gospel seeds, caution is in order. We ought to take stock of ourselves before remov ing the mote in our brother's eye. Are we rid ing the fence, as it were, making ourselves hypocrites by dualistic practices? Such a hide ous “modus operandi” is worthless and does more damage than it does good. The Double Standard is the coward’s way out and tends to weaken the true character and personality of America’s heart-throb — you, the people.

before, but that couldn’t be us; after all, the pilgrims came over here for religious freedom, and just look at how many churches we have today ... or could it be? America is fast losing its designation of being a Christian nation, although the veneer will always be there while the wood rots beneath it. How to solve it? Try drugs. Then you can escape reality and enter in upon a world of ecstatic beauty and feedom, that is, until the hallucination wears itself off. How about peace' ful demonstrating? Maybe if the establishment and its traditional hodge-podge were overthrown and became more relevant to society's demands (undefined?), we’d get somewhere. That doesn’t work either — just gets the “pigs” and everybody else uptight. What then? God, the very Author of all Freedom has been overlooked. The churches on our streets, tax exempt, rated “G” (you'd think rated “R” when you see the empty pews rivaling the faithful few in its midst), and nice places to visit somerimes, but not to follow and lives in the ex amples of, are looked at, but not through. That is to say, they are a plot of ground, but not in the hearts of their congregations. It is ironic that in an extensive educational system si1 h as we have in our universities today, the simple Truth is always put aside or thrown out. V e shouldn’t let this discourage us who are “babes of Jesus” (Matt. 12:25), but let it strength n us when we see that we are truly free — f ee in the Lord. Life is ours forever in the lit ration accomplished through Jesus and the .rsuit of happiness is our final goal If we <."jrselves live our freedom through His Son and apply it in every situation, those about us will take notice. Does the United States, our “world”, have freedom? That's up to us to decide as a “unique” nation — and decide it with God. God has given us ample opportun ity, What are you doing for Heaven's sake?

"We would have been No. 1” Dept.

A MEMORABLE SEASON O omewhere in the basketball jungles of New ^ York there is a group of kids playing pickup basketball games incessantly, and back in Milwaukee there is a man waiting to pluck these developing talents. New York and Mil waukee .may seem a great distance apart, but this man called A1 McGuire has joined forces and produced fantastic results for the Univer sity of Marquette. For a team that was going nowhere, McGuire has given this school five post-season tournaments. In the last five years MU has won 122 games including a 28-1 re cord this season. This man has put Wiscon sin into national recognition and given Mar quette strength to participate on a level it has not known.

To students from ■ehigan or Minnesota or any other states oth . than Wisconsin a dis like for this team is logical. Distaste for this team even among Wisconsin fans is hard to understand. The Warriors seem to have few fans outside of Milwaukee people. There are certain factors contributing to this. MU is not a flashy team. They often stall and play very deliberate ball. They have many “hot dog” antics before and during a game. McGuire himself is very outspoken. Wisconsin people may resent the fact that there are many New York players on his team, where McGuire says the best basketball is played. They play a very weak schedule because of their independent status. Once other teams enter league play they must find the competition that is left. All these add up to unpopularity in many minds, but like Marquette or not, one has to admit they play a fine brand of basketball. The task McGuire had in putting this year’s team together was a difficult one. He started a

team that only had two experienced players under his system. He had many individual stars that would have to fit into his slow down, sacrificing and defensive style. Dean Meminger was one of only two players in New York City to be all-conference for three years in high school. The other was Lew Alcindor. There is no doubt Meminger could have been a higher scorer, but he sacrificed for the Mc Guire style. Bob Lackey was a junior-college transfer who also was used to running the show for his team. He gave up this place of domin ance and worked on his defense and rebound ing. Allie McGuire, the coach’s son also pre sented a problem for his Dad. Many thought there was better talent on the bench other than McGuire. Allie continued to improve as the season went on, however, especially as a passer, defensive player and the way he fit into the system. Gary Brell was what McGuire called his “white problem.” His hair grew to great lengths, he talked of communes and many types of cultures and refused to look at our flag as long as we remain in Southeast Asia. McGuire approaches this type of problem openly. In practices he talks frankly of racial differences. There isn’t the behind the back type of thing. McGuire always speaks out exactly what he is thinking, and he wants his ballplayers to do the same. He might not always say things that are pleasant to everyone, but that isn’t his style. On a basketball court Brell forgot his problems and usually guarded the opponent's toughest offensive player. He held Austin Carr to four points for the first half of their victory over Notre Dame. Jim Chones from Racine was not a problem. He is a quick learner who improved so fast that he has become one of the best college centers in the nation. This can be seen by the ABA drafting him already, even though he is only in his sophomore year. These varying players McGuire put togeth er into his system. He taught them every as pect of the game. Defense as a specialty for them and with their slow-down tatics on of fense, they could frustrate many a team. The three men up front were fearsome rebounders. They worked together well as a team.

impressive victories came over Notre Dame, who beat UCLA, and a victory in Madison Square Garden over Fordham. That victory showed they could withstand the pressure. Against this ranked and highly psyched team, and a howling crowd of 19,500, the Warriors finished strong in an overtime to win by a dccisive margin. In painting such a rosy picture, there still has to come a flaw. It must be admitted the bench was not strong. The one thing that cost them everything, however, was the loss of Meminger on fouls with five minutes to go against Ohio State in the Mideast Regional semifinals. Meminger had never fouled out of a game and the loss of him was staggering. It might be call ed partly McGuire's fault that he built a team so much around one man. Meminger control led the team on offense, and with him not around they had no one to look to. They tried to hold on to the lead they had, but Ohio's de fensive pressure against a Meminger-less Mar quette team was too much.

It experienced a revival in the mid-1930’s when the Nazis again brought it into use on tombstones and official death notices of Nazi storm troopers. About this time the communists also used it as their symbol for “world unity,” and it was recognized during the Spanish Civil War as a sign of communism (Bolen, Luis, The Vital Tears, photo). The symbol at this time was encircled and looked as it does today.

Bertrand Russell, who set up the Vietcong backed Vietnam Solidarity Group, which ac tively demonstrates against U.S. policies the world over, and chose as two of his colleagues, Stokely Carmichael and James Baldwin, who admittedly are adherents to communistic theor ies, claimed to have designed the Peace symbol in 1958. It was supposedly designed for an “Easter Peace Walk” staged in England. Rus■

Now it is known world-wide as the “Peace Symbol.” Many use it because they are ignor ant of its implications. But there are people who know what it means and stands for — 1) Satan and the complete opposition to Chris tianity and 2) the representation of a society completely opposed to Americanism.

So, if you are inclined to write something, which you feel would be of interest to your fellow Alumni and maybe even to students, by all means, send your material to us. The deadline is two weeks before the date of publication. (Usually around the 10th of the month). Address it to The Blac\ and Red, care of the Alumni Editor.

Boehlke to the auditing committee. Prof. Zell, reporting for the projects commit tee, stated that the committee favored not under taking any new projects at the present time. With the construction of a new gymnasium in the com ing year, it was felt that perhaps the Society could be helpful in providing some of the appoint ments for the new building. The motion to adopt the committee’s recommendation to wait with ex penditure of Society funds for the present was carried. There followed discussion as to what goal the Society should set for itself in helping with the gymnasium. After considerable deliberation the Society set for itself the goal of having $10,000 in its treasury by the time the new gymnasium is completed. To raise this amount the Society fa vored a fund drive soliciting gifts from all its members. To make all members of the Society aware of the drive and ;o keep them posted on the progress of the g> • • •• : ium, it was resolved that in the coming ye'1 ‘wo letters be sent to members.

In view of the fact that there has been no in crease in dues since 1952, the Society voted to increase the annual dues from $2.00 to $3.00. The auditing committee reported that it found the treasurer’s books in good order. The motion to adopt the treasurer’s report was carried. The Chronicler, Pastor K.

Dick Holman zeroed the Trojans on the score board with a 16-strikeout 2-hitter to wrap up the opener easily over Swanson, 5-0. Ken Anackers 2-run blast proved to be the only offense Milton needed. It appeared that the Black and Red would change the pattern as they overcame an early deficit to strike back to a 5-2 lead. A leaky Wildcat defense and some timely hitting by Dick Zahn had reliever Mark Toepel in front until the home half of the fifth. Long home runs by Hosterman and Umnus paved the way to a six-run inning, and the lid was firmly nailed onto the coffin. Zahn with 2x5, Rog Kuerth with 3x5, and Rog Schultz with 2x7 were the only batters able to solve the fireballing slants of the Wildcat throwers.

SPOETS BASEBALL After the tenacity and the liquid grace of the basketball, wrestling, and hockey seasons, baseball seems almost tame and boring by com parative standards. Seven players stand around and watch the pitcher and catcher play their little game, and when, by chance, the ball is hit, they wake up out of their lethargic trances. Yet, strange as it seems, there is a certain mag netic charm about the sport that endears it to its followers, and it even gets to be fun after a fashion. About twenty fellows decided to try their luck at making the varsity team this year, and they showed up with their willing and ready arms for the first practice. After the usual two days of spring practice, Coach Ed Pieper and his able and energetic first-year assistant, Prof. Jim Fricke with the wicked left arm, settled the ’71 season. Owon a 17-player squad vcral of the players, ing to the versatility all the various positi<w-old be well-manned. uerth (Soph.), and John May (Jr.), Iv> two Freshmen, John by" Dolan and John best of the candiGawrisch appear to b dates for a fast and by -fingered outfield. The infield is in the b!e hands of Dave Palmquist (Sr.) at thi. b. Steve Ehlke (Soph.) at shortstop, Bobb} y d (Sr.) at second, and Roger Schultz (jr.) and Ed “Goober” Meier (Soph.) at first base. Dick Zahn (Jr.) and Palmquist should ably ‘anchor’ the catch ing department for all the sore arms of the pitching staff, including Schultz, George Swan son (Jr.), Chuck Learman (Jr.), Paul Metz ger (Sr.), and two Freshmen, Don Sutton and Mark Toepel. Schultz with a .460 average and Ehlke with a .361 average should lead the way in the slugging derby with the able help of Kuerth, Dolan, and May. Swanson, 4-0 last year, and Schultz should be the stalwarts on the mound for the Trojans. With a little luck and some steady play, a fine season should be in store for our team. MILTON 5-8, NWC 0-5 As has become the custom, the opening twinbill was down at the cow pasture against Milton, the perennial conference champ, and the outcome always seems to turn out gloomy. Not one to change the pattern, 6'4", 215#

U-W WAUKESHA 4-9, NWC 15-10 The old adage that says “there’s no place like home” again proved true to the tune of a twinbill sweep over Waukesha’s Cougars on April 24th. Don Sutton received the victory for the opening slug fest as he strong-armed his way to a fine performance and the initial Trojan victory of the season. His bases-loaded double also proved important in running up the big lead. Hitting star of the game had to be Dick Zahn, who went 3x3 with a 420' cen ter field triple and barrelled home for three runs. Not to be forgotten was his acrobatic swan dive at home plate. Sure it was the shoe laces, Dick! The nightcap proved to be a closer tilt, with an early Trojan lead wiped out by a five-run Cougar second. While reliever George Swan son fooled his way to 5 7^ innings of sloppy mound service, the Cougar ‘9’ managed to scramble to a lead into the home half of the sixth. A 380' Swanson double began the fire works, and timely hitting by Kuerth, Gurgel, and May sent the Trojans back into the lead. Shoddy though it may have been, Swanson held on to confirm the victory. DOMINICAN 1-4, NWC 2-5 Playing under grey clouds and in a brisk north wind, Dominican met the Trojans in a conference twinbill here on April 29th. Rick Ryan and George Swanson locked up in a tight 21

> ; pitching duel in the opener, with the Trojans pushing over a tying run in the sixth. “Grubby” Dolan ended it all with a 355' home run in the bottom of the seventh to bring home the bacon. Swanson ended up with a nifty three' hitter and also labeled a 410' out to dead center in the seventh. Just the same as a K in the scorebook, mouth! . Rog Schultz started his first game of the season, and he sore-armed his way to a shakey 5'4 victory. Rog Kuerth s gift home run was instrumental in establishing a 4-2 lead for the good guys, but Dominican kept pecking away to forge a 4-4 tie. A walk to Schultz with two out in the sixth paved the way for John Gawrisch to lace an RBI-double to the 351' sign in right center for the game-winner, and Schultz set the last man down for the Popes on strikes with his patented “blue-blazers”. Now 2-2 in the Gateway conference, the baseball fortunes of NWC appear to be on the way to the top.

TENNIS

GOLF

The beginning of the varsity tennis season was marked by a little bit of the old and a little of the new. The old side of it was the renewed period of the annual inclement spring weather, and the new wrinkle was an official coach, with Prof. Plitzuweit taking over the reins. Breaking in the new courts out on the practice field, the tennis hopefuls soon challenged themselves off to jockey for a position in the starting lineup. As of this writing, Phil Schupman, Dan Schaller, Mark Falck, Scott Stone, Ralph Jones, and Mark Jeske are the first six players on the team. The triad of doubles combinations is Stone-Schaller, Jones-Jeske, and Schupmann-

As all you erstwhile duffers fully realize out there, the object of golf is not to score as much as you can, but to keep that score down, And it stands to reason thaat Coach Don Sellnow, a noted golfer himself, tries to impress upon his squad that the secret of this is con centration and a knowledge of your clubs. Add to that a little luck and perhaps that elusive round of par golf will be the reward, Quite a handful of hopeful collegians offered their services to the team, and the top men appear to be Bob Balza, Joel Schroeder, “Igor” Naumann, Ken Kolberg, Gary Griep, and Armin Schwartz. 22

The opening match was played at MTC in Milwaukee, and the Trojan duffers lost by only 19 strokes, 527-546. Ken Kolberg with an 85 and Bob Balza with an 87 were the low men for the good side. The second match was at the Watertown Country Club against Milton, and in only a 9-hole match, abbreviated because of the rain and cold, the Wildcats defeated the Trojans 270-283. Joel Schroeder and “Igor” Naumann were our low scores with identical 44’s.

TRACK Since its inception last spring under Tutor Hartzell, track has '.aken long strides towards becoming a very popular sport here at NWC, even though we obviously don’t have the best facilities. Under iiv experienced tutelage of Coach Lloyd Thomp , our track team is be ing put through t’v ropes in hopes of becom ing a squad to be v v ied with in the future. The leading m. : of the team is Glen Thompson, and he's : an quite a dominating force in all the nice '. he's entered. His parti cular talents center h >e dashes, long jump, and triple jump. He also is a member of the relay team, and he fools around with the shot, discus, and javelin. Not too bad for one fellow. Other members of the squad include Barney Lehmann, Paul Scharrer, and Dale Tollefson in the long running events; Beck Goldbeck, Dan Garbow, and Randy Rathje in the weights and field events; Steve Hintz and Tutor Hartzell in the middle distances; and Bob Jensen in the hurdles and dashes. The first major event of the season was held at Marquette, and participating teams includ ed the host, Dominican, U-W Parkside, and NWC. Marquette with 90 points and Parkside with 63 dominated the meet, with NWC’s 23 and Dominican’s 5 bringing up the rear. Glen clearly was the big star of the day as he captured firsts in the 100-yd. dash, long jump, and triple jump, and a second in the 220.

Welcome to the first issue of Volume 75. I feel a bit uneasy writing this first article for the C & C column, somewhat like GPS must have felt when he lost the fight and had to take the little dark-haired girl to the party. In the last issue of the B£s?R there appeared an article which dealt with the modern poetry course taught by Professor Quam. One of the writing assignments which was recently given to us was the composition of a sestina. The most difficult part of this assignment was trying to figure out what a sestina is. Briefly, it’s a poem with repeating end words following a specific pattern. The following is a frustrated attempt after thinking about all the other w; rk I had to do. How can I write a poem like this for Quam And translate fifty lines of Greek for Plit: When music tests keep popping up from a, And history themes are due each week foi Scharf? While plowing through the Hebrew Law for P.E.E. I think of all the tales to read for Doc. And when I read the Miller’s Tale for Doc And speak of trotters in the class of Quam And learn my voc’s for ever eager P.E.E.. I wonder how to rouse my brain in Plitz And keep my eyelids open just for Scharf As well as bear the raspy strains of Ta. Not that I don’t enjoy his booming “Ta!” Which shakes the walls up to the room of Doc And hurls offense into the ears of Scharf, And wakens those who fall asleep in Quam, But just like plodding through the Greek for Plitz, His class is not as fresh as that of P.E.E.

Academy Awards it would be proper to pre sent Northwestern's own special awards. But we couldn’t very well call them “Oscars,” so we'll have to call them something else. How about “Elmers”? The winners of NWC’s first “Elmers” are as follows: — Ray Dubois for the cool manner in which he handled the situation with Rathje’s mystery guest. — the Ray Warner Memorial Award to Bob Gurgel for his incomparable knowledge of political administration and his re lentless effort at keeping the Dorm Coun cil morals at a peak.* — Most Graceful Award to Bonnie Thomp son for her spectacular fall in front of Wartburg Hall. — Most Dramatic Lines Award, a tie be tween B. T. for the lines after her fall and Pete the high lift operator (*$!*?! — get off my back!). — Best Athlete Award to Roger Kuerth for the basketball ability he displayed in his one-on-one defense of Loren Lucht's fa vorite coed. — the Talk Award to Ralph Jones fo his ability to communicate with his f How man. — Most Dramatic Act Award to Lloyd • iger for his breaking of a bus window in or der to get a better look at the “seer cry" on choir tour. — Best Impersonation Award, a tie between “Stevie” Krueger and “Terry” Oak field. — the Arnold Ziffel Award to Jim Tiefcl for being Arnold Ziffel. — Nicest Guy Award to Professor Piitzuweit for coming to class even though his tennis team had a match. — Best Shot Award to Gerald Blobaum for his ability to handle firearms. — the Dr. Louis No-Quack award to Jim Cloute for his behind-the-scenes medical applications. — Best Likness Award to Norm Seeger for looking like Alfred E. Neuman, i —Most Manly Award to Lloyd Lemke for his heavy beard. — the Cyril Spaude Award, a tie between Tom Trapp and Elwood Heldt. — Most Likely to Succeed Award to George Ferch for being George Ferch. * - Ed Note: Ray Warner is the Editor’s illus trious grandfather, past mayor of Hortonville, Wisconsin, whose administrative abil ities were questionable. 26

It might be interesting to note that Professor Lehmann had to turn away 20 opera enthusiasts from his class recently because of excess zeal they showed toward the subject matter in* volved. Another item of interest: The coeds helped Tutor Henkel celebrate his birthday by giving him a surfboard for his trip to Florida. Confidential to Walter Street : Let’s not get too zealous.

'^^Totwithstanding the common complaint that our time is overstocked with cur' hent literature, and especially the younger gen' eration overfed with newspaper reading, we feel encouraged to publish a new quarterly.” With that introduction the Blac\ and Red was born. On June 15, 1S97 the first issue was published, bringing to reality the long'felt desire for a college publication. This issue marks the beginning of the 7 5th Volume. If you could pick up that first issue and compare it to the one you have in your hands, you might be surprised as to how much and how little the Blac\ and Red has changed. If you read the opening sentence carefully, you have already realized one change. The earliest editions were published quarterly. Vol ume Three ushered in a new era with the an nouncement that, “after essaying at journalis tic work for two years on the quarterly scale, it (the Blac\ and Red) now ventures out on a new career, on that of monthly journalism.” Due to a number of factors, the subscrii ion rates have also changed a number of times nee 1897. What started out as 25 cents per ai. ium has now grown to $2.50 per year. It look like a big change, but consider the inflation nee 1897, and you find that the price is as much a bargain now as it was before the turn o. the century. Just paging through the first volume gives you a good idea of the change that has taken place. About one fourth of each issue back then was devoted to articles written in German, and occasinally a Latin poem would be thrown in to spice things up. The advertisements look a little funny with their offerings of everything from celluloid collars and cuffs to boarding stables for your transportation. But one of the best examples of change is found in this little | item from the first volume, “Since the warm > weather set in, swimming is one of the pasttimes of our students, who delight to plunge into the cool, clear water of the Rock River.” Putting aside the outward changes, one finds that the basic ideas of the Blac\ and Red remain the same. For example, "Blac\ and Red, the emblematical colors of the Northwest ern University at Watertown, Wisconsin, was chosen as the title of our new paper because it is published by the wearers of these colors.” 28

Northwestern University at Watertown, Wis consin, sounds a little strange to those of us who have grown up relating N.W.U. with Evanston, Illinois. Whether University or College makes no difference, the Blac\ and Red is still published by the students.

The Editing Committee of Number One listed as one of their objectives, “to establish some means of communication between the institution and its former pupils, to furnish in formation of what is going on in the college to those living at a distance, and at the same time to keep its readers informed, as far as possible, of what has become of the former students." Transportation has improved remarkably since 1897. Alumni now find it easier to return to their Alma Mater, yet the need for communi cation between the present and former student bodies continues. Unless you happen to be a member of our faculty or a pastor in a neigh boring town, it is difficult to keep abreast with what is going on. The Blacl{ and Red still serve to bridge the gap between the Northwestern of yesterday and tin Northwestern of today. It keeps Alumni in ■ouch with their favorite sport or their favorite prof., or informed on activities in general. Pius the Alumni Section provides information merest concerning for mer colleagues.

Summer Plans 7\ fter a long waiting period, it is now a generally accepted fact that spring is here. Some infallible proofs of this fact have recently been observed on campus; professors coming to class without topcoats, a strong rebirth of the T shirt among students, and a few male versions of “hot pants,'” About this time of the year even diligent minds try to advance the clock by a few weeks and dream about the summer that lies just ahead. While the faculty may not be daydreaming in class about the upcoming season, they are, nevertheless, think' ing about it. When a few faculty members were chosen at random and were asked about their summer plans, they offered quite a var iety of answers, with studying being high on the priority list.

! ■V

Some of the professors will be spending the summer in study at the U.W., while others will be doing their studying at home, especially to prepare for the changes which the new curriculum will bring about. Prof. Plitzuweit will be studying Greek at Madison and hopes to complete the work for his Master’s Degree. Prof. Eickmann will be either taking a course at Madison in modern spoken Hebrew, or else he will take a course in individual language in struction at Whitewater State. (I’m sure a poll among the students would produce a unanimous vote for the spoken Hebrew.) Prof. Spaude also plans to go to Madison for a sum mer institute in Intensive Hebrew Studies. (All of his students will be glad to hear that it’s intensive.) Prof. Fricke will spend some time in preparing his two new English courses for next year, while Prof. Kirst will be working on the new course in human biology. Various Synod meetings and the conven tion will be occupying the time of many facul ty members. There is a meeting at DMLC in early June for all Synod professors. In July there is a Pastor’s Institute and Workshop also at New Ulm. At this meeting Prof. Scharf will be delivering a five-day series of lectures on Oriental religions. Most of the professors will be in attendance at the Synod Convention to be held here at NWC in August. Dean Chworowsky is in charge of making all the arrange ments for this convention.

Summer traveling seems to be a popi !ar thing among our faculty members. Prof. Sulli van intends to make a two-month tour of Eur ope, during which time he may even check up on his Irish ancestry. Both Prof. Fricke ; nd Dean Chworowsky are planning a trip suewhere out West. Prof. Kirst will be goii * to Albuquerque to study the Indian mounds and is also planning another visit to Grand Can yon. Prof. Rhoda seemed to have the ight idea when he said that what he needed most was a “good four-week trip to the North woods.’’ Prof. Lehmann’s plans are slightly different from the rest of the faculty. He plans to do the finishing work on his new house to be built near Johnson Creek. This time he’ll be pound ing on something other than the keyboard, and, hopefully, the hammer he’s using won’t be on the inside of a piano. Prof. Quam seemed to sum up the whole school year when his answer to the question was “recuperate from the battle scars.’’ He also plans to follow his hobby of refinishing antiques and to do some recreational reading. I think it is safe to assume that the faculty members are looking forward to the summer as much as the students are, yet it is worthwhile to note that they have placed quality educa tion and the work of the Synod foremost in their summer plans.

REITERATIONS . . . from the Editor T bet you didn't even notice that there have ■L been a few changes made since your last Bfe?R. It's true, we are in our 75th year, and the new B&?R staff is getting ready to put it all together for you. Several of the team are re turning veterans from last year’s campaign. Besides myself, we have the Onalaska twins, James Korthals and James Tauscher. I know Dr. Schmidt will be proud of them. Two other returning B&R lettermen are: Ed “Love Story” Schuppe and Marcus Bode, now as Business and Circulation Managers respectively. Nath an Pope, our illustrious color-blind da Vinci, will continue putting out those critically ac claimed covers. After a hotly contested election, which in volved many very talented candidates (whom we thank for trying out), we came up with a set of new faces for the staff. The Alumni column went to “Steady” John May. It is a tedious job, but it is a good way for John to get to know some o( o- • important men with whom he will be woil , in a few years. Cam Davy Beckman. If pus and Classroom we: I know Davy, my ;■ d;e: won’t let me read his C&'Cs. Dan Kolo sky captured the Sen ior Staff Writter posit fir* and is heating up his beat-up Royal manual :oi a heavy year. Sports went to none other than George P. Swanson. I can't eulogize him at all, or else he will do me permanent bodily damage. Anyway, it might be interesting. The Junior Staffership went to our California boy, Scott Stone. Can anything good come out of LA? Maybe. We've also got two new ad men from the Class of '74, Jon Peterson and Paul Baldauf. So much for the staff. You might have noticed that there are a few different twists to the make-up of the B6?R. The type style is slightly more classical. I find it a bit harder to read. We figured that if you’re industrious enough to pick up this mack erel wrapper, you might as well exert a little more effort all the way along. Besides, this type gives more of the impression that we know what we’re talking about. The squiggly med ian lines are our way of going J^lew Tor\er. We had hoped to turn Nathan Pope loose on some fantastic art work inside, which would have turned us all on, but our extremely tight

financial straits do not allow us. Get the hint, all you non-subscribers! If you have been looking for the editorials in this issue, you won’t find any. Yes, we have editors, but we do not have editorials. We feel that everything around us that has needed to be editorialized has been adequately editorial ized. (Student apathy, nose picking, etc.) It is quite certain that we would only be redun dant. Suffice it to say, this editor wishes only to use this back-page-Stewart Alsop looking section to talk about things that interest me at the time, and not to be bound to such a stylized format as the heading “Editorials.” It gives us more freedom. If you prefer getting riled up, might I recommend the high priced spreads like Time, J<[ewswee\, or The Rational Pigeon Review. Getting down to a more serious note, I find it necessary to establish the aims of the maga zine. The purpose is simply to let the students and Alumni express themselves in a literary form. Whether it be to inform or entertain, the B&R is the medium for the students and Alumni to express themselves. Of course, we have certain standards which necessarily must be met, but the ideal would be if students not on the staff and Alumni would write the ma jority of the material in each issue. In the past, the writing has been left up to the staff almost entirely, except for occasional contributions. Be cause of this, people get the impression that we are a sealed society and are obligated to pro duce this thing every month for the rest to read. The staff is really intended to be for putting the thing together, composing the fea tured columns, and keeping the thing in print. You will notice under the block heading above the table of contents, there is a sentence that reads, “Since 1897, Published by the Students of Northwestern College, Watertown, Wis consin.” It does not say, “Composed, Assem bled, and Printed by R.E.Warner and a Few of his Cronies.” I'm not going to give you the old line, “This is your magazine,” but if you don't like the material in the Bfc?R, write and contribute some that you do like. We would love to have our writing work done for us, at least most of the time. And if you have some constructive criticism, by all means, keep it to yourself. — So don’t be afraid, contribute. 31

Thoreau, I did not receive many favorable re Thoreau once commented on the n ure of actions. Some people seem to think of Thor- his intended readership.

He lived about one life on the frontier. In our own day the people hundred years ago, yet many of his ideas are who turn to Thoreau are more likely to be very current. He has become the darling of those seeking psychological refuge rather than the New' Left. Let us therefore take a closer refuge from the threat of hunger and want, look at who some of Thoreau's readers are and The discontented readership can be divided at the ideas they obtain from Thoreau. Finally, let us assess Thoreau's proper relationship to into several larger categories. Perhaps the first to come to mind are those wearied by the em modern society phasis on material wealth in our society. ThorDown through the years, Thoreau has found eau criticized his neighbors for “making youran interesting array of followers. Gandhi, who selves sick,, that you may lay up something for was searching for a means of protest in India, a sick day.” But though he criticized such men, found his weapon in Thoreau's essay On Civil had great pity for their sorry condition. Disobedience. The idealogy of the British La- Here is how he described tired out farmers: How many a poor immortal soul I have bor Party of the nineteenth century was based met well nigh crushed and smothered under largely on Thoreau's writings.

acres of land, tillage, mowing pasture, and woodlot. To such men he gave both the repeated exhortation “Simplify, simplify” and his experiment at Walden for an object lesson.

ry did carry out extensive projects such as list ing the succession of trees in an area, this writ er believes that Thoreau had little enthusiasm for ecology per se, and any innovations in this field which he did make were buried in the nine of his voluminous Journal.

A large group of Thoreau’s readers would fall into the lonely hearts bracket. He had con' siderable trouble coping with social adjust' mcnts. He had only two close friends, Emer son and William Channing. And Thoreau himself referred to his relationship with Emerson as “one long tragedy.” His main trouble seems to have been the belief that he was never wrong. Thoreau has often been praised for his advice on loneliness. It's no wonder he was such an expert: he was also a bitter failure in the romance department. One open rejection caused him to write: “Love is the profoundcst secret. Divulged, even to the beloved, it is no longer love.” Another group who might read Thoreau would be those of the “Do your own thing” movement. Although Thoreau himself was nev er a joiner or follower, he was careful never to impose such principles on others. He lived by the maxim that “Man is the articifer of his own happiness.” In the place of material wealth or peer acceptance Thor-, c , substituted the idea that a man is what he "ii the inside.

The real attraction of today's youth for Thoreau lies in the area of his political beliefs. While Thoreau abhorred the socialism of the Brook Farm experiment, he was also quick to criticize the existing democracy. He declared that “the government governs best which gov erns not at all.” His violent disapproval of our country’s role in the Mexican War of 1847 sounds very similar to speeches of today’s doves like McGovern: When a whole country is unjustly overrun and conquered by a foreign army, and sub jected to military law, I think it is not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolution ize. What makes this duty the more urgent is the fact that the country so overrun is not our own, but ours is the invading army. Perhaps the writing which has gained Thoreau the greatest admiration from today's youth is the essay On Civil Disobedience. Thoreau wrote that “If the law is of such a nature that it requires you to be an agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine.” In keeping with such a principle, Thoreau op posed the Fugitive Slave Law as a member of the Underground Railroad. He also gave talks supporting the rebel John Brown. Thoreau wrote that “under a government which impri sons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.” In keeping with this policy Henry allowed himself to be arrested and thrown into jail for not paying his taxes. But he did become quite provoked at the arrest and also allowed his family to end his martyrdom after he had spent only one night in jail. From then on his family paid his taxes before he could get into trouble with the law. What a martyr! To make matters worse, Henry took a self-righteous attitude. To Emerson’s query of “Henry, why are you here?” Henry re sponded, “Waldo, why are you not here?” One writer has rightly described Thoreau's act ual position on civil disobedience as follows: Thoreau was not crucified; he was not forced to drink hemlock; and to make him the messiah of the civil disobedience move ment is slightly ludicrous.

Some turn to Th ,au for religious guid ance. Like Thoreac i-vy believe that the or ganized church “ex. c vonieated Christ while it exists.” They are s-. .railing for some elusive key to the sweet life, v;. nay choose to journey along with Thoreau His answers were far from perfect, but many merit consideration. Those sick and tired of the “better things through chemistry” gospel may find comfort in many of Thoreau s adages. A good example of a proverb of Thoreau would be the saying “That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapcst.

Into the largest grouping of possible Thoreau followers I would place youth. One writer commented on Thoreau’s appeal to the young: “Thoreau knew how to be young. He knew how to live deep and suck all the marrow out of life.” It is through this appeal to youth that the hippie movement of today has been attract ed to Thoreau. Thoreau was a nature enthusiast. His two years at Walden have almost become the hand book of the “back to nature” fan. This nature kick has led to an all out war on pollution. One writer was violently opposed to calling Thoreau the father of ecology. Although Hen

What if Henry Thoreau were alive and kicking today? Would he be a hippie? Well, 35

k we have already observed that he would definitely be opposed to the war, to our ever ex' panding government, and to segregation, even though he probably would stay out of any or' ganizcd protest groups. The same man who feared the danger of the locomotive would cer' tainly be a pacifist in the age of the H bomb, The recluse of Walden, even though his expert ment ended after two years, would probably join the escapist movements from today s fast' moving, science orientated society and seek his refuge in nature. He would very likely do his part to protect the environment. Always a champion of the individual, he would live by the creed of “whatever turns you on.” However, in spite of these striking similarities to our hippies, Thoreau was quite different from them. While the hippies renounce all ideas of money and work, Thoreau, even while at Walden, did odd jobs and kept meticulous records of his profits. Thoreau realized that a man could get closer to life for a time in solitude, but that man must ultimately return to society. Thoreau differed from the hippies in that he had real goals which were inner directed. All motives for his actions came from his own convictions. The greater number of hippiedom are in reality conformists who seek the approval of like-minded groups through their noncon formity. Hippies turn on with drugs to expand their consciousness artificially. Thoreau had honed

' i*-

Today man is confronted with a complex ■L problem which he himself has brought about - namely, the pollution of his environment and the depletion of his natural resources. Concern in this area has grown rapidly in the last five years, since the accumulative results of past actions have just recently begun to affect the lives of many people directly. It is only when the individual himself is forced to grapple with a problem that it becomes truly meaningful and urgent. For example, air pollution has been occur-

ring for a long time. The Roman poet Seneca complained of “the heavy air of Rome” and “the stink of the smoky chimneys thereof;” John Evelyn says of 17th century London inhabitants that they” . . . breath nothing but impure and thick mist accompanied with a filthy vapor which renders them susceptible to thousand inconveniences corrupting the lungs and disordering the entire habit of their body ... and in the 19th century Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote about Cologne, “I counted two and seventy stenches, all well defined, and 36

over nature, not an absolute monarch over it. Yet in a widely quoted essay which first ap peared in 1967, historian Lynn White blames the Judeo-Christian tradition for the western world’s exploitation of nature. On the basis of Genesis 1:28, where man is commanded to fill the earth, to subdue it, and to have dominion over every living thing, he concludes that it is God’s will for man to exploit nature. He also states, “By destroying pagan animism Christ ianity made it possible to exploit nature with a mood of indifference to the feelings of natur al objects ...” Mr. White, like many others, has failed to read beyond the first few pages of the Bible. Hence the Biblical concepts of Christian stewardship and of God’s ownership have completely escaped him, resulting in his misinterpretation of God’s Word.

several stinks.” In the past one could avoid or escape from these areas, but now we are faced with the possible pollution of our entire atmos phere. If this seems a bit far-fetched, consider the increasing numbers of major cities which are experiencing air pollution problems and notice sometime the haze which is beginning to envelop even our countrysides more and more frequently. Air pollution is just one aspect of a much larger area of concern — ecology. Briefly stat ed, ecology is the study of living organisms, their habits, modes of life, and relations to their surroundings. The ecologist tries to understand the intricate balances and cycles which occur in nature. God has established a truly wond rous balance of nature, and whenever we tamp er with it, we are taking a great risk, as is evi denced by the DDT dilemma, the carp problem, and Lake Michigan’s alewife problem. To ex ercise our control over nature, we must make some alterations, but at the same time we must investigate the possibilities for long range dam age which might overshadow any immediate benefit, for as Charles Reich says in The Greening of America, “To. ilogy and production can be great benefa v • >i man, but they are mindless instrument • iid if undirected they careen along with .ntum of their own. In our country, the ’Iverize everything in their path ...” V. ■ ■ is true that nature frequently corrects : :.:cs which wc intro duce, we still must • tul not to add that final straw which \v : the camel’s back.

However, we as Christians are just as guilty as anyone else in exploiting our natural re sources. Because we have become an integral part of an affluent society, we are in part re sponsible for the depletion of under-developed nations to maintain our own high level of ma terial welfare. United States citizens account for only 6% of the world's population, but are responsible for 40% of world resource deple tion. Part of this is due to sheer waste and the planned obsolescence which our manufacturers incorporate into their products. Here we may take a lesson from Christ’s feeding of both the 4,000 and of the 5,000, where the leftovers were gathered up in baskets after the meal was finished — nothing was wasted.

But one may ask, « . is the camel so bur dened in the first plac ’ is it not due to man's arrogance and his ruthless exploitation of na ture? Man feels that lie is above nature, that he is his own lord and master, capable of un doing whatever incidental damage might occur in the wake of his technological advancements. What a sharp contrast this is to the statements in God's Word. “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof” (Psalm 24:1) proclaims the psalmist, and again: “The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them” (Psalm 89:11). Throughout the Psalms, the Lord is extolled as the creator, owner, and sustainer of the entire world, even as God says through the mouth of the Psalmist, “Every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle of a thou sand hills. I know the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine” (Psalm 50:10-11).

Carl H. Reidel, assistant director of en vironmental studies at Williams College, has penetrated to the heart of the problem when he states: “Pollution is an inevitable consequenece of an affluent society that demands material progress above all else.” Our society has fallen in love with affluence. Our values, both as in dividuals and as a society, are oriented toward an ever increasing affluence. But listen to Paul's words to Timothy: “For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs” (I Timothy 6:10, RSV). It is time for us as Christians to scrutinize our own values. The environment crisis is a good example of how all creation groans and suffers as a result of man's sin (Romans 8:22). Sin is the underlying reason for man's selfish ness, for his abuse of the environment, for his refusal to show love toward his fellow man, and for his desire to attain his own short-range

It is obvious that man is only God’s steward 37

goals at the expense of posterity. We who claim to possess the highest values must exhibit more outward evidence of practising what we preach. As Christian stewards, it is our re' sponsibility to protect and care for what has been entrusted to us. We dare not use the earthly abundance which God has bestowed upon us for our own selfish purposes. Let us all do our best as sincere Christians to use, but not abuse our natural resources and to practice responsible Christian stewardship, relying upon God’s inscrutable providence, for as St. Paul writes, “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?” (Romans 8:32, RSV).

T ust recently I had the pleasure of watching J one of the best new shows the “Vn Waste land” has to offer, All in the Family While most new shows seem to be aimed at die fiveyear olds in the country, Family is produced strictly for adults. The show concerns itself with the adventures of Archie Bunker (Bigot), his wife (Dingbat), his daughter (Mrs. Radiolib), and his son-in-law (Mr. Radic-lib). While the above format could be used for your average situation comedy, Family is far from it. Its topics, instead of the usual “Robby gets summer heat rash” type, run from the Viet Nam war to Woman’s Lib. It is also not unusual to find a four-lettter word slipping in, but this just serves to make Archie seem more realistic. Archie Bunker is your typical, middleclass, silent majority bigot, except he isn't al ways so silent. He is always glad to tell you his beliefs. For instance, he believes that Negroes run fast because it’s in their blood (“You know, when they was runnin’ naked through the bush with a lion on their tail.”). He also believes that pollution is no problem (“Would Presi dent Nixon let Tricia drink water that was un safe?”). And he believes that his son-in-law is a meathead. Mike Stibbick, his son-in-law, is a typical, liberal, college student. He doesn’t believe in 38

God or Billy Graham, and he sees what’s wrong with America without seeing what’s right. He is always arguing with Archie, who counters with brilliant logic like, “The heart is the center of all your emotions, anybody knows that.” Archie's wife, Dingbat (his term of en dearment for her), is your typical, empty-headed housewife, ruined by long years of soap operas. She listens passively while Archie spouts his obscenities, but hushes him up when he starts explaining how a cereal keeps his bowel move ments regular. She does have her bright mo ments though. On one recent show concern ing premarital sex, when Archie said that they never did anything like that when they were kids, she stopped the show with a brilliant, "Oh, no, I wouldn’t let him.”

Archie's daughter, Gloria, causes her poor old dad much grief. For one thing, she sides with her husband in his arguments with Arch ie. For another, she's a Feminist. After a time, one begins to feel that her only real purpose on the show is to give a reason for Mike to be there, but she docs have another purpose: to display the latest short skirts. You guessed it, Archie yells about that too. One of the most interesting people on the show is Lionel, a Nee i n lad who often drops in on the Bunkers. He is constantly putting Archie on, and Archie, being the man that he is, believes every wore < it. On one recent show when Lionel and A rchie were discussing heart transplants, Lionel said that in South Africa they had recently put a black man’s heart in a white man, and since they still have segregation over there, that poor fellow might not know which restroom to use. Naturally Archie agreed. All in the Family is one of the bright spots in a vast TV wasteland of soap operas and situ ation comedies. The shows arc never one sided; they present both sides of every issue. If, how ever, one of those sides is ridiculous or immoral, they have no qualms about presenting it that way. Family is an entertaining half-hour of funny moralizing worth watching. Maybe we need more like it. Charles E. Perry ’74

T n the last issue of the Blac\ and Red an arti■^cle apeared which dealt a heavy blow of gross injustice to the recent MCA production, Love Story. The article not only contained erroneous accusations, but a few major contradictions. I would like to have you recall that article now. Perhaps you should take out that last issue and read it through again. I now will attempt to illustrate for you, having been refreshed with the nature of its contents, the fallacies which were presented. The article began by commending the Acad' emy for its wise choice in excluding Love Story from all Awards save one. Here already I must totally disagree. I believe, as do many others, that the movie was not treated fairly in the Academy Awards. It seems that the Academy saw more in Patton than the public did; I mean, really, eight Oscars? Granted, the movie Patton was good. However, the good features it pos sessed in certain areas seemed to act as a huge magnet for the other awards it received. Just a bit one-sided, one might say. The article continued to say, and I quote, “One of the most thoroughly discussed films of the year, made from a highly praised, bestselling novel, did not make it. The movie that everyone raved about, the so-called beautiful and classic story of young love second in signi ficance only to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, took one Oscar. Only one.” And upon this he bases his judgment of the production. The quote just given mentions the fact that the public, the viewing audience, raved about it. If the millions of viewers have given it such a good rating, then I would not place much stock in what the Academy had to say about it. Now I will quote an article for you which appeared in the January 11, 1971 issue of Time maga zine; a publication with a not-too-friendly atti tude when reviewing a category such as movies. “ . . . No wonder Love Story has enjoyed the largest opening-week grosses in the history of American cinema. No wonder that on Christmas Day, when it opened across the country, the movie broke the house record in 159 of 165 locations. In three days it earned $2,463,916 — more than it cost to make.” The author, furthermore, seems to give the

impression that all who possess a high degree of learning and large vocabulary shun the use of profanity. By this statement he would have us to believe that the use of profanity among two young college students, who don't have much regard at all for God, is absurd. I’ll ad mit to something being absurd, but I rather think it is his type of logic. Try this bit of logic and apply it toward his thoughts. “All boys who study diligently receive "AY — Ted studies diligently, therefore he receives “AY” Of course, the fallacy in that statement is seen in that some boys who study diligently do not receive “A’s.” There are those people, then, that are highly educated who do not refrain from use of profanity. Not a bit unbelievable at all. Reference is made in the article to the no menclature that Oliver Barrett IV used when he first met Jenny, calling her a * tiadcliffe bitch." This term, however, was . d only once by Oliver and not after he found ’’imself endeared to Jennifer. Therefore he <J -:ot use it to address his beloved. On the oth side of the matter, Jenny called Oliver “Prcpr . Now how, may I be so bold as to ask, does tnat show a lack of affection on her part? We all have our nicknames for each other, pet names and so forth, and lovers often have their special names which they alone use to refer to each other. Although they both were highly edu cated, they both were able to come down to basics and not hide beneath the unnatural sup erfluous flowery words as do many who are learned scholars. I will allow my readers to judge for them selves, on the basis of my analysis so far, the following quote: “Unfortunately, there is not much in the plot that is credible, and there is even less that exceeds mediocrity.” Let us consider this quote. “The plot moves more or less evenly along until the hero and heroine find themselves facing the question of whether or not they really love each other. Since the movie was not meant to end at this point, the only possible answer was yes. Immediately the entire world is rosey, as we flit from one fun scene to another.” Well, of course the movie was not meant to end there, 40

i •

can only expect from a purely secular view' point, is the extremely subordinate role that religion plays in the plot of the story.” The movie cannot be called in error for its exclu' sion of religion. After all, the two characters portrayed had forsaken God, as the Christian knows his God. Therein lies the sad part of the story for the Christian — the fact that Oliver was utterly lost after Jenny’s death, with no hope or assurance of blessed sleep in heaven and reunion as brothers and sisters in Christ. To all viewers, however, the loss of the man’s lovely young wife was something sad, and would still have been had they been portrayed as God fearing Christians. Grief over the loss of a loved-one, especially a young person, is certainly no sin for the Christian or any one else. The pure simple grief over the loss is only natural. The unbeliever would then have much more to grieve about over the loss of someone of like faith. It is true a full love does not exist without love for God and appre ciation of His blessings. However, marital love, devotion, dedication, a great bond, can and does exist in those who have fallen away from God. “Many of today's youths are making a des perate attempt to search for genuiness and hon esty. A film like Love Story must be a great disappointment to them.” Here is the most ab surd observation of all. The movie was indeed genuine and honest in its portrayal. I am cer tain I have the backing of literally thousands, when I say that Love Story was in no way a disappointment. It is an excellent manifesta tion of the great bond of love between two in dividuals — a- Love Story not in the least un believable.

as evidenced by its title. As to the flitting from one ‘“fun scene” to another — evidently the author of the article has not experienced what it means to be truly in love with a mem ber of the opposite sex, and he or she, with you. It is indeed one “fun scene” after another. Yes, love and life with love has its many problems also, all of which was also brought to light in Love Story. Many prob lems are solved much sooner when love is the determining factor in their solution. “Even an insurmountable problem, such as the young man’s attending law school on his wife's $3500 a year salary, can be conquered by love.” The writer would not have so much doubt for such a matter if he knew the power of true love. Concerning the reference to the persuasion of a woman's tears — no man, set deeply in selfpride, will bruise that ego, come woman’s tears or flood. Listen to the following: “And that was for incidental music (which, incidcntly, I didn’t even notice in the picture).” That was a re mark made, concerning the one Award that Love Story was given. I would say that the cotton ought to be pulled from the ears. The manner in which Frau Lai used the central theme throughout the ic, each time in different arrangements, :ery beautiful and artistic.

Yet I feel tn : e Story cannot be faulted for that aspect v movie, following the novel, is a portray c S the characters of two individuals as wee . love story; since the former is actually result of the latter.

One of the ads in the very first issue of the Black arid Red reads, “Here is the right place if you want to buy, however, bring your Cash (with a capital C, no less) with you, for we don’t do business any other way." Evidently, buying on credit and the First Wisconsin Charge Card were unheard of in 1897. A barber shop known as “The Bridge" carried an ad saying. “Five Baths For A Dollar." May be our Sextaners can look into this possibility the next time the showers become crowded. One of the many clothing stores in town ran an ad on French Baldriggen Underwear. Could this perhaps be the forerunner of Jockey shorts?

successively in the Current Question column. The first question was, “Where Heino boards Sundays?" and the follow-up read, “Why did Heino quit his old boarding place?" Now, we could take a conservative approach and say that Heino visited his grandmother on week ends, and that she later passed on. However, understanding the nature of the average redblooded American boy, this interpretation is not too likely. Possibly Heino was the forerun ner of our own Dennis Valleau, whose week end whereabouts could produce many an inter esting tale. Boys will be boys, not only as far as the fairer sex is concerned, but also in their pranks which help to relieve the day-by-day monotony. The Halloween of 1897 was quiet except for one incident. “One of our steward's chickencoops took a walk rather late in the night and accidently fell into a cave in the campus."

THE BIG GREEN LINE ^Tot too long ago, people who know something about basketball and the NBA were saying how the New York Knickerbockers were certainly going to dominate the league for years to come.

The Bucks were avidly backed by adoring, rabid fans, whose numbers increase ed as the initial season dragged on. The Mib waukeans also possessed a fine administrative staff, competent people who could get the job done. These were men such as owner Wes Pavalon, President Ray Patterson, and coaches Larry Costello and Tom Nissalke. The only ingredient missing was the ‘superstar,’ the play' er who could lead the team no matter who the opponent or what the score. This deficiency proved to be the Bucks' downfall, as they soon found themselves ticketed to a seat in the base' ment.

Milwaukee buzzed as it learned that they had come up “heads" while Phoenix had taken it in the “tail." Why all the hullabaloo about one innocent flip of a piece of metal? After all, these things were commonplace in every sport. This particular occurence enabled the Bucks to lay their claim to ingredient number three in the coaches’ handbook to a winning team: a superstar. This superstar had been a con sensus All-American all of his life, from his days at Power Memorial Academy in New York to the championship teams of the UCLA Brums in the NCAA. This multi-talented, tworeing 7'2" basketball star was none other than Ferdinand Lewis vLew’ Alcindor, a softspoken,- imposing giant among the little guys on the hardboard floor. When the news was out that the big guy had signed with the team, Milwaukeans went to their favorite taverns to argue as to how long it would be before they were #1. The first year of Lew Alcindor, or the “King" as he has been aptly titled by supermouth sportscaster Eddie Doucette, was a long learning period for him and the rest of the league. Here he was, a raw rookie with the ac colades of thousands behind him, up against hardened, grizzled veterans of NBA warfare,

men such as Willis Reed, Nate Thurmond, and Wilt Chamberlain. Every game became a schooling process for Lew and his opponents: Lew would learn the tricks from the masters and they, in turn, soon found out the enormous amount of talent this young man possessed. The whole league was made aware of this when they saw how Lew led his team to a 5626 record and a second place finish behind the Knicks in the rugged NBA East. Almost overlooked by the energence of Alcindor as a dominating force in the league, the supporting cast of the Bucks was made up of many fine performers. Two 4th draft choices, Greg "Captain Marvel" Smith from Western Kentucky (1969) and Bobby “the Greyhound" Dandridge from Norfolk State (1970), made up the heart of the Bucks' frontline with "the King.' Neither players were the characteristic power forwards, yet their hustle, defense, and jumping ability more than made up for their deficiencies in size and weight. Jon McGlocklin held down one guard spot, and he v as soon recognized by his patented, arching ' “bango-jumpers."

games won. After a period of some good, but uninspired basketball, the Milwaukeans finally got up a string that made a shambles of the league. With Oscar playing some of his best basketball of the year, the Big Green Line won a record twenty straight games, the skein being sidetracked by the Chicago Bulls. With a possible NBA season record in line, the Bucks seemed to play their season out with only the playoffs on their mind. Yet, one can hardly scoff at a 66'16 season mark! The opening rounds of the Bucks’ playoff schedule were relatively simple when compared to other series. They ran both the San Francis' co Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers off the court in only five games, and then they sat back to await the outcome of the Kmcks-Bullets series. Despite the fact that they were obviously hoping inside for a rematch with the world champion Knicks, Baltimore upset the champs in the final game of the series before over 19,500 screaming partisan fans in the "big Apple," Madison Square Garden This, then, set the stage for an anti-climatic series between Milwaukee and Baltimore, with quite t hand ful of ardent Bucks’ fans up in arms .r out the new strength in Baltimore’s defense It was apparent that the Bullets, without star performers Earl "the Pearl" Mo-:voe and Gus Johnson at full strength, had che-r work Milcut for them up against the injury f> waukee powerhouse. It only took the 1 Green Line, led, of course, by Alcindor and Robert son, four games to polish off their opposition and lay claim to their first NBA crown. In deed, this is remarkable when one considers how the Bucks were only an expansion team three years prior to this pinnacle of achieve ment. After the last series, Gus Johnson, the Bul let’s captain, remarked, "They'll be there for a long, long time. As long as Lew Alcindor and Oscar Robertson can produce, I don't know who can stop them." How apt this statement may be because Lew and Oscar form as devas tating a one-two punch as ever suited up for a basketball. Surrounded by such hustling players as Johnny Mac, Bobby D., and ‘Cap tain Marvel,' all still very young and eager, it seems in Wisconsin that Lew and the ‘Big O' will lead their heros to championships in the years to come. And I'm sure if you talked this over with coach Larry Costello, he'd complete ly agree with this idea, and MVP Lew Akindor and his supporting cast are sure to be there when the opening bell rings.

IJUICK now, sports fans! Who had the lowest average in the major leagues last year? You could name any one of a half dozen names and still be right because there are always a few rookies brought up at the end of the sea' son, who get no hits. But just because they are batting zero, does that mean baseball is? Some people say baseball is dead, and yet it sets records for attendance every year. Per' haps there are simply more diversified types of fans today than in the past. The first type is what could be called the “radio fan." He is the man who listens to every game of his favorite team and as many other baseball games as he can on the radio, wherever and whenever he can. Usually he does not live near enough to a major league ballpark to go to very many games. This leads us directly into the second type: the one who lives near enough to hr. favorite team so that he can go to games quite often. “Often” can mean anywhere from cv-ry home game and some away games to a doze- or more times per season. Going to a major 1c .. ,ue game is by far the best way to enjoy major league baseball, for there one is always aw. v. of the undercurrent of excitement, both in T ‘ crowd and in the team. The spontaneous r: .lion to a home run (or even a single), the tension of a potential no'hitter, the derogatory yelling at the umpire, the actions of the players, the roar

of the crowd, the hushed silence of a crowd — all push and pull at ones senses and nerves, adding a dimension seldom achieved elsewhere. Then, too, one can see every play and what is going on during that play. Foul balls pro vide thrills of another type, and batting prac tice, for those fortunate enough to see it, is an other unique experience. All in all, it adds up to an enjoyable and exciting time. A third type of fan is the Saturday after noon television sports fan. He watches the 50

game sitting at home, relaxed, with food and drink right at hand. This man can even lean back and get a good nap and still wake up in time to know exactly what has gone on previously in the game. Aside from this advantage, there are others, such as not having to buck the crowds going to and in the stadium, being able to relax and yet be a spectator (as the radio fan is not). Of course, close-ups, stop-action, slow-motion replays, player interviews, and the announcers comments, can be advantages, too. Then there is the box-score fan, who reads every box-score in the paper and keeps statis tics on all the players for the last fifty years (he may even have some baseball cards dating from that period). Finally we come to the occasional baseball fan. This group might include the girl who is a baseball fan because her boyfriend is, or the man who likes all sports (perhaps even prefers another sport) because he is interested in any athletic event that requires skill, co-ordination, and team-work. He watches or goes to any important sports event hi can and is interested in them all.

Because this is the 75 th year that The Blac\ and Red has been in print, our dear editor has gone on an anniversary kick. He came barging into my room the other day, twisted my arm behind my back, and shouted, “Write some thing that pertains to our 75 th anniversary or this volume will get the ax!” (which may very well happen anyway!) So instead of reverting to old times and seeing what took place 75 years ago (most of the people who actually read this thing were around than anyway), let’s project ourselves into the future and see what NWC will be like in 75 years. The fol lowing might appear in Volume 150 of The B&R. The readers of The B&R might be inter ested in knowing that the final transactions in the sale of Dr. Martin Luther College in New Ulm were made last week. The facilities were sold to a Baptist group which originated from Maranatha College and will be used as a con valescent home. The new DMLC-M (Dr. Mar tin Luther College at Milwaukee) will open in the fall.

Simultaneous with the increasingly pleasant spring weather, Trojan baseball fortunes have gotten better and better. Sweeping twinbills as though they were going out of style, NWC's diamondmen finished up the conference part of their schedule with a 5-3 record and a second place rung on the ladder, behind Milton’s 8-0 slate. This finish enables the Wildcats to enter the NAIA District 14 post-season playoff, but rumor has it that our batters would relish the opportunity to play them here for once, and in the latter part of the season. This bus iness of always starting off down at their cow pasture with minimal practice is strictly for the birds! Tweet, tweet!!

With a reputation aas a power! i utfit, the ‘Jacks’ opened the day with a vi>.:-oiy over Swanson and the Trojans, 6-4. George’s biggest nemesis was All-American Frank Sewideo, who clob bered about everything served up,, settling for a triple and home run good for 5 RBI. Rog Kuerth's lead-off four master and Grubby’s booming fifth inning triple were the only Tro jan heroics at the plate. Prodigal son Mark Tocpel got the call in the second tilt, and he appeared to have every thing going for him. Northland kindly opened with the same chucker on the hill, and we eas ily gave him an early shower the second time around. Mark even aided his cause with a windy” home run shot. Down by five in the sixth, Northland’s big bats woke up and, after Rog Schultz was called in to stem the tide, Sewideo’s 2-run single gave the Norsemen an 8-7 lead. But Rog’s booming 420' triple and a timely sacrifice fly by Swanson evened it up again. Kuerth’s second clout of the day tied it up, in the eighth, and Steve Ehlke’s perfect

‘queeze bunt' in the tenth that brought in Toepel with the winning run gave Rog and NWC the victory. LAWRENCE 14, NWC 1 As the score indicates, the Redmen and their child prodigy from Wayland Academy, Steve Blomberg, had a field day, running ol’ Tpoidves into the sand by 13 big runs. Paul Metzger got one of his infrequent calls to pitch, and, after the initial bombing was over, the game, too, was over. Lawrence’s awkward lefty corkscrewed NWC into submission with a neat, but somewhat shoddy four-hitter. LAKELAND 3-5, NWC 6-6 On May 8, the Trojan spring athletes bus sed their way into the north country at Lake land College to exhibit their wares. After sit ting around and watching the tennis matches of the conference meet that were being played there, the NWC '9' fooled around with a doit-yourself batting cage long enough to lose out on any beneficial batting practice, and then had to amuse themselves while watching their op ponents take their sweet time doing the same number. All was not lost, however, as NWC rallied to take the Muskies in game #1, 6-3. George Swanson and Dick Voss locked up a a one sided duel for six innings, with a v nd-swept pop fly home run by Tim Tustin providing the main support. Things looked as bleak as a Monday morning in first hour until the bats rang out to the tune of six runs in the seventh. Dick Zahn's 2 RBI single, a game-tying single by Swanson, and Grubby's two-run shot down the line were the main blows of the affair. Swanson then held on to run his record to 3-2, even picking one sleepy head olf second base to nail down the game. With Rog Schultz (3-0) going in the nitecap and Palmer (3x3), Swanson (2x3), and Skinny Rick (2RBI) providing the early stickwork, NWC shot into a 5-2 lead. However, Moose’s well-paid Muskie T tied it up in their last gasp at the plate, and extra innings were the order of the day. Steve Ehlke’s single and “heads' up” base running put a man on third with two out, and Bobby Gurgel’s “leg” hit en abled Steve to flash home with the winning marker. MADISON TECH 0-6, NWC 4-9 Playing once again in the friendly, but windy confines of their home field, on May 12, the Trojans played a twinbill vs. Madison Tech. George Swanson (4-2) tossed the open ing game shutout, allowing six hits while walk58

ing none and sending nine sluggers’ back to the bench empty'handed. Rog Schultz (2x3), Mark Toepel (2x2), and the “Mouth” (2x3) settled the issue scorewise, 4-0. Game two saw Don Sutton open on the mound, and he was staked to an early lead by the suddenly slugging Trojan hitters. Consecutive singles by Gurgel, Ehlke, and Schultz set the stage for a long triple by Palmer, and the good side was up, 4T. Schultz, who went 3x3, followed later with a careening 390' home run shot, and, with an 8-2 lead in the sixth, things looked excellent. However, MATC got to Don' nie for four runs, so “Al” Toepel was brought in to ‘save’ the win. Only after one runner was tossed out at the plate and a third out strike'out with the bases jammed did the noisy home crowd regain their breath With the sweep, the diamondmen now have sashayed to a neat 9-4 record.

Growing Up Goodness

MIT 2'3, NWC 10'15 On the first good warm clay of the year, the Trojans bussed to Washington Park in Milwaukec to play MIT, who came nattily attired in their new pullover uniforms. The games themselves were actually no contest, as Swanson (5-2) stopped them on four hits in the opener and Schultz (4-0) lam/hcd his way to the win in the second game. Trojan sluggers were good for seven doubles, . o by “Grubby” in game #2, and a triple by iv : rCuerth. Many of the blows bounced over or slummed into the fence; right, Grubby!?! Coach neper was able to move everyone around as n turned out to be a good day for almost all. Maybe Toepel, who went OxS, should have gone to the track meet instead! What about it Mark? — You gotta’ fix it, Charlie! Right?

MARANATHA 4-0, NWC 6'2 Our crosstown rivals from the west side came over on May IS to play a little ball. How' ever, NWC’s sluggers had to do a tidy nunv ber with the rakes to get the diamond in some kind of shape. That done, our squad swept another twinbill, 4 straight such affairs now, knocking off our ‘friends,’ 6-4 and 2'0. George Swanson (6'2), he of the gimmicky red shoes and the nonsensical change of hat, shakily sorearmed out the Trojans to victory in the opener, striking out nine. John May’s 3x3 stick, in' eluding two doubles and 4 RBI’s, was a mighty lethal weapon backing up Swans. This set the stage for All-May ville Rog Schultz (5-0), and he set down the boys on four hits and led fif' teen batters down the aisles only to come away emty-ended. A double by Toepel and Bobby

Coming into their own as the spring season swiftly slides along, our determined NWC net' men have clearly shown continued progress against their opposition. With only two match es remaing on the schedule, the 6-2 record is indicative of their achievements. Only losses to powerful Whitewater and conference champ ion Lakeland spoil the Trojans’ record. Since the team will lose only one performer, Mark Falck, via the diploma route, prospects for a good season next spring are encouraging. NWC 9, CONCORDIA 0 On May 1 the varsity tennis team easily swamped their like number form C< mcordia of Milwaukee, 9-0. To the delight of the handful of faithful fances that ringed the iVnces, each member of the opposition was haiK :■ d easily. The only bad shot of the whole ci;> was that the cold weather brought out a sniffV- or two. CONFERENCE MEET A change had taken place in Trojan squad prior to the Gateway Conic ice meet at Lakeland on May 8. “Flash” G< ’on chal lenged and successfully defeated R : - h Jones for #6 spot on the team, with ‘Humphrey' re legated to only a doubles partnership with Freshman Mark Jeske. Our Team had high hopes of placing well up in all the final match es, but inexperience and some unlucky bounces proved to be their doing. Only Jeske and “Flash” were able to win their opening match, but they, too, fell on bad times and lost the second time around. However, they still came away with two seconds. The doubles combo of Jones and Jeske were the only Trojan pair to taste success, and they did so convincingly by coming in first and picking up the gold. The team ended up in third place, with host school Lakeland cleaning up as usual.

‘.t

NWC 7, MATC 2 At home once again, the Trojan racket squad easily throttled the MATC team, 7-2. Everyone fared well except for Falck and Stone. Farkls’ downfall may have been due to the fact he wasn’t always keeping his eyes glued to the tennis ball. In any event, he got somewhat even as he helped to defeat his fe male nemesis in doubles.

LAKELAND 5, NWC 4 After ringing up four consecutive dual meet triumphs, the Trojan net squad found their streak upended by the slimmest of mar* gins by conference champion Lakeland. The Muskies, led by John Wilke and Mike Brummcier, split the six single matches but won two of the three doubles matches to capture a slim 5-4 victory. Stone, Jeske, and Gordon were able to capture their matches, and Jeske and Gordon won their doubles match as well. Per* haps with a little more experience and more familiar surroundings, our netmen will finally break Muskie domination next year.

Believe it or not, our track squad almost knocked off the Lakeland power house, coming out on the short end of a 75-73 score, with Dominican dragging along behind with 29 points. This surprising and interesting situation marks our team as a team to be reck oned with next year with more experience and practice. Glen Thompson was the leading individual performer of the meet, sweeping four firsts and two seconds. He took the 100, 220, long jump, and the triple jump, coming in one behind in the high jump and the shot put.

One week removed from their recent near upset at Lakeland of May 1, our Trojan track men again gave the mighty Muskies and the Jacks of Northland a good run for their money. Again led by the outstanding individual efforts of Glen Thompson, the Trojans trailed Lake land by some 21 points and were nosed out for second by an eyelash by Northland. Glen ac counted for 30 points of our total of 67, plac ing his usual first in the 100, 220, long jump, and triple jump, chalking up a new record with a leap of 4 4'5/2". Steve Hintz again came in first in his specialty, the 440, for NWC’s only other first. BETHEL COLLEGE INVITATIONAL Team Scores: Jamestown, S.D. 116, Bethel 39, NWC 32, SW Minn. State 25, Lea College 17, Pillsbury 17, Northland 14, Concordia St. Paul 12. Closing out its season at the Bethel Invita tional in St. Paul on May 15, NWC came away with a third, though distant it might have been to the total of 116 points garnered by Jamestown College of South Dakota. As usual (who else?) G. T. came home top point getter for our squad, collecting firsts in the long jump and triple jump, a second in the 220, and thirds in the high jump and 100. His leap of 45'3" in what his fast becoming his best event, the triple jump, set a new personal stand ard as well as a meet record itself.

GOLF

a whole, the members have certainly enjoyed the free rounds of golf every day. The first ‘six’ is still made up of Armin Schwartz, Gary Griep, Igor Naumann, Joel Schroeder, Ken Kolberg, and Bob Balza. Stars behind the scenes include Dave Kelm, Earl “the Pearl" Noffsinger, and Tom Biedenbender. Though they haven't gotten in yet on any of the matches, they'd be the first to remark that playing this way is better ‘n payin' to get in. Recent matches played by the Trojans have included a triangular with Lakeland and Do minican, a dual meet at Milton, a triple set with MATC and MIT, and a dual with the Muskies up at Lakeland. Though we haven't been able to break into the win column, Balza and Kolberg have been consistently coming in with scores in the low 80’s. Perhaps a breaking of that 80 mark is on the way in the near fu ture. The two-day conference meet also was held up at Lakeland, and the Wildcats from Milton came away as champs by five strokes. Bob Balza's seventh place finish enabled the senior to pick up a medal. INTRAMURALS As the old adage goes, “better late than never’’, it’s about time to clean up - id business on the intramural scene, Gary Gr ion’s volley ball team copped the ’T’-shirts aftei two hard fought games with Swanson’s jump- team. The bowling season was a success through out, even gaining some new believers dong the way. For the second straight season Elmer 6* Beats again came away with the trophies, after pulling into a tie with Dura-clean on the last day. A roll-off between the two teams showed Elmer 6? Beats again coming out on top. The champs were made up of Norm Sceger, Jim Gorsegner, Dieter Gust, Jim Kleist, Greg Heiman, and Doug Semenske. High averages:

Success hasn't honored our duffers yet with even a peek of her smiling face, but perhaps that’s all for the good. Who knows, perhaps if one of the duffers got good enough with the woods and irons, he might think he's good enough to go on the PGA tour. Though the team hasn't fared that well as

Cl:ITrI ATI C N S • • . from the Editor TJ1 ver since the Draft Board in my home town J—J walked out in the heat of the Calley case, the freaks about town have come out of the woodwork. I've often wondered why the hippie phenomenon ever came about. Once I asked a freak where all the freaks came from. He said unhesitatingly, “From Heaven!" I hardly think Raphael would have been decked out in 14 year-old Levis topped by a Captain America shirt, while sporting Orphan Anne hair, a Horace Greeley wrist-length beard, and a Fu Manchu mustache, all three of the latter spray-painted fire engine red and covered with sequins. The basic «.urce of the freak syndrome was the simple fact that kids were made a separate sodaland economic class-by-themsclves, and from this gapping of the general,, m, the whole scene with the leftist youth sure,' md drug problem has resulted Besides the many tumultuous things that happened during the " - the "separatist movement" for youth v being formulated along the lines of harm!, itertainment. Buried between the • .’'00 Question" and those gigantic Chrysler youth-oriented America was arising. Un: ; then, the teenagers of yesteryear listened to il ime music, laughcd at the same humor, ,r cnerally lived the same lives as the grown-m except, of course, with fewer responsibilities md fewer privileges. The children were entertained in basically the same system, only shielded from all mature pastimes. The kids did not have a special scene of their own. When Wayne King came to town, either the kids went along and shut up or they stayed home. The economic scene had a bit to do with it too. During the Depression there wasn’t a lot of fun money loose for spending, and during the Andy Hardy days of the 1940’s of war bond sales, the kids had barely enough money to catch the Tom Mix thrillers. However, by the mid1950s, the kids had money. Prosperity created a new class of consumers: dumb adolescents, All the kids needed was something to call their own and on which to waste their money. Their own bag turned out to be a new form of music that was revolting to older people, The whole image of rock and roll together with the inherent animal nature of the music came on strong with the kids. When Bill Haley and the Comets struck that first chord of “Rock Around the Clock," youth found something 63

to rally around. Slicked back hair suddenly united youthdom. “Top 40" radio stations sprang up and provided a day and night forum for the avant-garde in music and other groovey neato-boss things. Elvis, Fabian, Jerry Lee Lew is, and the rest formed youth’s first heroes of their own. The movie business joined in with theirdance-hot-rod-surf flicks, television brought forth teen-onented programs and stars ( Amerlc™ Bandstand the vanguard), and clothing and specialty companies joined in the procesfor cleaning the kids out of their pennies, 111 cnever EdcuK??k,| .

The system had to get a new twist, Wasnt that one of the hip dances? Anyway, the system found a revitalization. Enter Beatles- The hair was by present standards short, but it opened a whole new avenue of being separate. Year by year it grew longer until what we have today. The Beatles brought in the all-electric band. It was light then, but got heavier year by year until what we have today, Since 1966, drugs have also entered the spotlight for more novelty, along with social awareness ancl aB the Aufruhr and vulgarity, whether it be anti-war or just plain grossness f°r effect. As is the way of all flesh, what started with simple forms of entertainment, has degenerated into the serious anti-culture we see today. There are more people to blame, maybe schools, maybe parents, maybe the churches, but without those specific steps, the scene might be a lot different. Basically the problem was caused by those persons who created and exploited the market of youth, and who didn’t care what side effects would result. There is some of the sub-culture that warrants praise. It is hard to find though.

I Like It Tt was a warm summer day. I could hardly •••stand the conditions under which we were travelling, but, fortunately, I was at the top. Sure, we had travelled in this bag before, but never in such warm weather. We were being taken somewhere in the middle of summer — but where? Were those rumors that were float ing around last winter true? Did Northwest ern really have a new gym and were we being taken to it now? I suddenly felt sick as if some one had pumped me full of stale air. I

rolled across the parking lot back into the old gym, but the young man who had been carry' ing us picked me up and put me ur r his arm. That was a relief. At least I wasn't back in that stuffy bag. We entered the main entranc and were immediately in the main lobby. Hie lights were on and the yellow walls seemed to reflect them, making the lobby a bright spot I glanc'

The old gym was good enough for me. I didn’t want to leave it. Did they expect me to perform as well in a strange building? Well, I wasn’t going to. If I concentrated, I could probably even keep from bouncing on some stupid new floor which was poorly made. It had to be poorly made, because there was no floor better than the one in the old gym. Be sides, the old gym had been home for me ev er since I came from the factory and I just wouldn’t be able to accept any place else as home.

Main Lobby — Lower Level

While these thoughts and anxieties were whirling inside of me, the bag was dropped onto the ground giving me enough energy to roll out of it. I looked up and there it was. The west side of the huge new gym with its bricked wall stood out against the cloudless blue sky and made me feel very small. I didn't want to go in and would have much rather

The young man carried us through a door and then down a few steps. I saw' before me a door with a sign saying “Visitors". Ididn’t know it at the time but this was the entrance to a visitors’ locker room and showers. A first for NWC. We went along a little farther and entered an inset door. I immediately recognized the place to be a locker room, but was I surprised. There was almost four times as much locker space as the old gym had. The young man set me down to put on his tennis shoes, so I quickly glanced at the shower rooms. There were two of them, and both looked very adequate. The young man picked me up, and we were off to see the rest of the lower level of the new gym. I think that he w'as as interested in see ing it as I was, although 1 most definitely did not like the place. We saw a drying room, a training room with two whirlpools, and a coach's office. On the east side of the lower

There were two courts on the main floor and another on the raised stage. The mercury lights illuminated the bleachers — capable of seating 1000 people on the main floor and another 500 on movable ones on the stage. Best of all were the six glass backboards on the main floor. I forgot about my dislike of

Also on the east side was a weight-lifting room. It was something to behold. It had red carpeting, mirrors on one wall, and a regular shiny weight-lifting machine. We went up some steps and were soon on the main level. I suddenly felt a chill go through my casing. The basketball floor was probably right through those doors, and I had to let this guy know right now that I didn't want to have any part of it. I tried to slip out of his hands, but he held on too tightly. I closed my eyes. I didn’t want to look. He bounced me and I heard the sound go echoing

The young man gratified me by doing just that, but when I came down through the hoop, I went the wrong way and bumped into the two new scoreboards which were still in crates. I found out later that the scoreboard from the old gym was over, and he took me downstairs.

/ ? •;

That all happened a couple of months ago and now I'm in an equipment room waiting for the basketball season to begin. I've been thinking how foolish my first dislike of the new gym was and have also been thinking about a few of the advantages of having this new home. The intramural program, which was so cur tailed in the old gym, will certainly be widely expanded. Practices for all College and Prep

teams will no longer conflict with each other. All students will be able to strengthen them selves by using the weight-lifting room. While I’ve been waiting here, I’ve also heard about all the new equipment available in the new gym — equipment such as a tram poline and all sorts of other gymnastic appar atus. When I heard that the alumni showed their confidence in the new gym by giving $10,000 for equipment, (part of which has been used in equipping the weight room and in buying the batting cage and pitching mach ine), I decided that I would help too by getting through those new hoops quite a few times, so that our teams can have winning first sea sons in the new gym.

"Li/e Way Down Under”

WHAT'S IT LIKE T was just thinking. You know, time really flies. Here I am with almost three years of college completed — and it seems like just a short time ago when I came back from Aus tralia. It’s going on seven years now — yeah . . . I remember those greasers from Wisco that thought I was pretty weird with my Sta cies and weak accent — and then there was that girl in science class thaat said, “Hi!” to me the first time I went into the class — !!! — I was mute with horror!

Well, anyhow, these little problems had their origins in the four and a half year trip I took to the land “down under”. My family and I left Mitchell Field in Milwaukee at the end of August of 1960. I was just about a whole ten years old, so I will be able to tell the whole incident in great detail. This first leg of the trip was to San Francisco with a stop at Denver. We had to wait two days be fore boarding the ship which would take us on the main segment of our ten thousand mile journey to the other side of the world. The name of this great sea-going vessel was the S. S. Orcades — it was going to be taken away for scrap the next year. (This was its last voyage.) The trip took two weeks, with dockings in Los Angeles, Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand, and finally Sydney. All kinds of in teresting things happened on the way. Take, for example, the waves; they tend to cause

some havoc on the internal digesystem at times. I made it to the room just iime! Since we were sailing across the Pacific ! the equa tor, the weather was usually n .. and warm during those two weeks. Every d there was some activity to help pass the t. e. For ex ample, once they had an ostacle r c in which my Dad couldn't find his second .'hoc, I got a bun stuffed in my mouth, and ray youngest brother didn’t do everything he was supposed to. He won nevertheless. There was a swim ming pool aboard too. The salt water helped me learn to swim and in the “Equator-cross ing” ceremonies, I told King Neptune that I could swim. Actually I hadn’t learned — until he threw me in, and there was no side of the pool to hold on to. At mealtime we often had a chance to ex perience the new tropical dishes which were to become relatively common in Australia. Although we were caught by the tail-end of a cyclone, we finally sailed into Sydney Har bor, right under that famous bridge. I was a little disappointed because I didn't expect so many buildings. According to Howdy Doody, there was all kinds of open country and dry desert with kangaroos hopping all over the place !i I had also been informed that I would be able to have my own horse. Naturally, that led me to the idea of dusty roads and the 68

thought of riding my mighty stallion to school every day. Instead, we mounted a plane and landed in a little airport about forty miles from Too woomba. A little bus took us into this second largest town in Queensland, the north-eastern state. Toowoomba was situated right at the top of the Great Dividing Range, about ninety miles east of Brisbane. There was a steep road up the side of this range, which rose rather abruptly for about 2,000 feet. One of the things one would notice as he approached would be the red color of the soil. The area had been volcanic at one time. The city was perhaps three or four times the size of Watertown. The houses arc built up on stilts and do not have basements. This meant that you, your dog and the spiders could run around under there. The houses weren't built in regu lar shapes, but in odd irregular shapes, to help ventilation in the summer time. We also dis covered later that we were lucky to have one screen per room in the house, despite the many summer insects.

The college itself had been a former squatter's station, and for a long time this old house was an office, classroom and dormitory. After we got there, some of the older buildings were torn down to make room for more modern fa cilities; the old main building still stands, how ever. There was only one janitor for the whole place, but the students did a lot more work on the campus than we do here. It was small, with only about one hundred students from fourth through twelfth grades when we got there. Since then it has increased somewhat. Fourth through eighth grades were taught to gether in one room. The rules were really strict at Concordia College. For example : #1 No girl shall receive letters from any boy except her brother. Similarly, no boy shall receive letters from any girl ex cept his sister. #2 Only with special permission shall a student leave campus. (Boys and girls had separate days.) #3 All spending money shall be given to the principal and shall be taken out in small amounts once a week with the princi pal's permission. (What the money was going to be used for was necessary infor mation if the amount was over 2/6 (two shillings, six pence = 30<*)) #4 All students shall wear the proper school uniform when off campus and in the classroom. These consist of a grey shirt, grey trousers and a brown and gold tie for boys, and a blue dress with white collar for girls. (These uniforms were not too cool, to say the least.) Grey short pants are also permitted for boys. In this case, uniform knee-socks are to be worn with them. #5 No jewelry of any kind shall be worn except for a watch.

Even though temperatures did get rather cold, there was no central heating; little singleroom kerosene or electric heaters had to be used, and without insulation in the walls, it did get cold inside. Try to get up in the morn ing in a forty-degree room with an icy floor under your feet! To my mother’s dismay, we started out by having to use a wood stove for cooking and heating. This meant that I had to become a back-woodsman — I had to chop wood in the back yard. We also ended up keeping chick ens for eggs and meat . . . nothing like seeing a chicken with its head chopped off! . . . and then plucking and cleaning it — yech!

was even necessary for them to sit on opposite sides of the chapel and to use different stairways. Even speaking together was frowned upon. When addressed or speaking in class, it was necessary to stand beside your desk be fore commencing to talk. Subjects were taught with a greater degree of difficulty, but the 50% passing grade compensated for that. The most popular sports were cricket, ten nis and track events — I wasn’t good in any of them. Australians are a very athletic people. Throughout the year there were intramural events, but only between the two different houses (teams) — brown and gold. Points were given in the individual events and totaled at the end of the year. Awards were then given to the teams and individuals for outstanding performances.

There were quite a few strange animals in the area, like the “Laughing Jack-ass” or Koo kaburra. It was a little too close to the city for kangaroos or Koala bears. There were also three different kinds of poisonous spiders. One was a relative of the Black Widow. These were quite common. To spot snakes or li:;ards which could grow up to two feet and more was not at all uncommon. Some of them re really strange looking.

As you might realize already, luxury was not common. The rate of pay was much lower than it is over here, but the luxury i/ems were close to the same cost. I can remember going to visit someone just so I could watch some television. Programming didn't start until about 11:00 AM and by 10:30 PM it was off the air. Later we bought a TV of our own. This caused a bit of a stir. Cars were very small. Imagine a Ford Falcon, and you’ll know what a large luxury car was.

REITERATIONS ... from the Editor In Defense of What We’ve Stood For T n recent months the Blac\ and Red was severely criticized by an observer outside of our synod. It would be a breach of confidence on my part to disclose the source. The importance of the criticism was not that it just pointed out a dissatisfaction with our magazine but that it used this means to comment on our college and the people who support it. Normally I would have left unpleasant things like this to collect dust in some obscure drawer in the B£?R room, but the scope of the criticism is such that it deserves the attention of more than just a few staff people. Basically, the critic stated that the B &R has been a magazine “quite evidently a faculty organ reflecting a 19th century outlook." He said it has failed to give an open ear to con structive challenges to antiquated religious and social conventions. From women’ lib to rock operas, our views are "bogged down in back ward traditionalism.” In effect, he said that while the role of the ministerial student is rap idly changing, we don't recognize this fact. He called our magazine a "white elephant of re actionism” in view of "how almost every other journal like ours is open-minded and forward looking.” He termed our short stories, "glossy and irrelevant,” our book and screen reviews as "ultraconservative,” our commentaries as "lack ing incite into the real needs of humanity to day,” and our sports section as "a column covering a program like that of a back-woods junior high.” How this last thing fit with the rest I don't know, but my point is not to ex amine his literary style. As what was perhaps supposed to be a kind word, he told me that the B&R does a good job in representing in print "the stubborn traditionalism and non-involvement” of the institution which publishes it and the people in general who support that institution. He finished his bombshell with a sigh of relief that we are more an exception rather than a typical church body and college, and that we are a small minority among the forward-looking people in Lutheranism and Christianity today. At first I was a bit gratified that anyone ever got this worked up about our magazine. However, judging from the school of thought that is represented by his opinions, I could eas-

ily see how something like this would eventually land in our mail box. Looking at the liter ary quality angle he mentioned, we've resolved that we would be only kidding ourselves if we thought we could or should produce a maga zine rivalling Saturday Review or The K[ew Tor\er. Our job is to reflect the personality and views of the campus through the written word. We publish what is handed to us and what we gather together ourselves when the student body doesn't hand us anything. Call ing our magazine a faculty organ is totally mis leading. President Toppe reads over our ma terial. This does not strike me as censorship in the least. We have a great amount of free dom as to what we publish, usually it's more freedom than we ever need or use. If it were up to the present staff to decide whether or not to keep this supervision, we would keep it. It has helped us in policy making, final editing, polishing up bad manuscripts, and ven in fin ancial matters. Also having this supervision tends to lessen the possibility of m ny writers contracting bad cases of foot-in-m :’.h disease. We feel the slight inconvenience having a far outhigher power clear our material weighed by the assistance such sups, vision ren ders. As to the examination of tlu very princi pals on which our college is run, this goes well beyond a simple criticism of our magazine. He questions why our magazine docs not get in volved with all this "religious reform,” poli tics, and social consciousness. Although it might be discussed now and then, we have definitely shied away from a positive stand on such matters. There are, among many others, two simple reasons for our position. The first and main one is that the people on this campus aren't strung up on the big ideas of revolution, change for change's sake, etc. If the Bfc?R got involved in the mess that’s wrecking a lot of other campuses and institu tions, it plainly would be misrepresenting the opinions of the people on this campus. Even though today, there is longer hair, mustaches, and a few beards among the student body, these are not accompanied by uninhibited dis sent or the typical hippie psychic animalism. I picture this adherence to the vogue as not much

acquainted with the staff, dressed in a nun’s habit. Among other semi-heretical spoofing, there was a page with the facing, “What sort of man reads Prayboy?” and above the words was a picture of Martin Luther. Also included was a page resembling exactly, or so I’m told, Playboy's report on their clubs around the

more than a harmless and evidently temporary delight in such neato-boss things like longer hair, mustaches, and beards. To construe these things as any sort of meaningful rebellion would be far from the truth. The second main reason why we don't like getting mixed up in the grand liberal circus is that it unequivocally is a detriment to the con tinued strength of our college and our calling. The type of attitude which was apparent in the criticism is one that is subscribed to by many individuals and most church bodies. The atti tude is that it is the church's responsibility (especially aimed at the young clergy) to throw itself into the realm of politics and social re form, a realm where it has no business. Whe ther it means hurling itself through the closed doors of a state legislative session or merely sponsoring hunger hikes, the clergy seems to feci that it is obligated to lend its support to “progressive” activities. It is not that we as a college or a synod arc shirking our social re sponsibility, but that churches with opinions like that of our critic arc ' irking their spirit ual responsibilities. Wh ‘.oday there are so many people, especially ng people, with de sire to find a belief the u trust, the socialcentered churches are ok eg not much more than what our federal g nment can. Loose standards, open politics . -•■atered-down doc trine have turned a go :xk of strung-out kids away from somethi: l oe only thing, that could help them. They : learned to view organised religion as ano- •• ; corrupt establish ment. This is the real rcao -i for the Jesus freak movement. They can’t: gv> what they want from the regular churches, so they try to get it themselves. A 63 year-old Jesus freak named Brother Ed, who lives near my home, said with out reservation, “Nine out of ten churches are worthless.” I did not disagree with him.

country. Prayboy used the names of the Mis souri Synod's various pre-theological schools in stead of club names and added slams on people in authority. Since then we have never receiv ed another issue of the Triangle. We never heard what happened to it.

To illustrate what can happen and what is happening to groups that are trying to be with it and relevant, Concordia Senior College in Fort Wayne produced an issue of their official (or at least previously official) student jour nal, The Triangle. Instead of following the usual format for their May 1970 issue, the staff decided to put out an issue in the style of Playboy magazine. They entitled theirs Prayboy. They used the same type style, the same heading faces and photo schemes as the Chicago-based girly gazette. Someone pilfered the issue from the B&R files, but Nathan Pope made this likeness of the cover. They even in cluded a fold-out of what evidently was a girl

In reference to our “back-woods sports pro gram,” he must have meant that we don't buy athletes with scholarships, we don’t have a sports recruiting system, and that we operate our program on a limited budget. One thing that he didn't mention is that, even because these “hindrances” and the fact that we have only 300 people to choose from (all of whom must assume a stiffer than average study load), our guys still go out and win games against the far bigger institutions. I wouldn't call it back-woods, I’d call it honest college athletics — with no eyes on pro contracts — teams giv73

ing of themselves for the good of the school. Getting back to the main point though, when politicians try to preach and preachers try to govern, boths institutions are whistling in the dark. Calling a man a dog doesn't make him one. Much the same, for the ministry to grab onto every temporary fad and crisis to' day — this is called relevant, meaningful, and of benefit to our fellow man. For the ministry to stay with its commission, to offer the world something it needs and wants, and to avoid

disintegrating unities this is called narrow minded, reactionary, and useless to the world today. This is not unfortunate, it’s tragic. Evcn bearing in mind the faults and imperfections of our college and all of us who support it, it’s a confident feeling to know you’re work' ing to join a living and growing church body that is doing what Christ expects of it. Criti' cism of this nature reminds one that there is much to be done — and to be undone. R.E.W.

■Pd sat in his hotel room watching the late “news and drinking a glass of beer rather than the milk he would have had at home and would have preferred. It irritated him and would have amused his wife Sue, that even in so small a thing he must do what he thought was expected of him rather than what made common sense. But the sour beer seemed an appropriate finish to his long day of inconclusive meetings. He was patiently loosening his tie when the telephone rang. “Ed?” “Yes, Dad.” He was surprised to hear his father’s voice from Vallejo so late at night. “Everybody here is all right — Mother, Sue and your girls — but our boy’s in trouble.” “Our boy” was Ed's nephew, young Ed. “Isn’t he at that camp in Colorado7” Ed asked. “He was. But he’s in a Denver hospital right now. Hit in the head with a rock. I’ve just talked to the doctor and given permission for the operation. I haven't been able to reach his mother. She must have gone out some where. In any case, there isn’t a plane until morning. Nobody here can get to Denver be fore nearly noon.” “All right, Dad,” Ed said, his voice as mat ter-of-fact as his father's. “I should be able to get there in four or five hours.” He wrote down the name of the hospital and the name of the doctor, and then he asked, “How serious is it?” “Skull fracture. He went into convulsions. It's a question of brain damage. There was no way to check out the doctor. I just had to take his word for it.” “Tell Joyce, when you reach her, I’ll phone as soon as I get there.”

“I can’t imagine where she’s gone,” Ed’s father said, his irritation the only indication of his anxiety. “Drive carefully, son.” Ed put the phone down, blessed and bur' dened with the concern of his father, who ah ready had lost one son, whose only grandson was now in danger. He felt a sudden sick apprehension, not at the long drive ahead of him, but at what he must face at the other end of it. He tried not to think of the other long night drive five years ago — his sister-iivlaw with him that time — the useless rage and grief at the end of it, which he could noc share with her because he was at first closed ir. his refusal to accept the facts, then closed in himself, doing things that were expected of him. Twenty minutes after he had 1 caved the call, he was well on his way to Denver, driv ing carefully, smoothly, just one mile over the speed limit. Had his father reached Joyce yet, turned some rare, innocent pleasure — a movie with another girl from the office, perhaps — into a quilty mistake? Ed and Sue hadn't been much help to Joyce socially, since she was widowed. Sue was irri tated with him for not being more enthusiastic about finding “someone suitable” for his sisterin-law, The idea of it made him feel guilty, somehow traitorous to his brother's memory. How do you explain to a woman the odd loyal ties and taboos between brothers? If he and Jim had been closer, less polite to each other, it might have been easier. They had been close as boys, with a closeness often expressed in flaring hostility. In their last fight, when Ed was twelve and Jim seventeen, Ed's arm had been broken. The politeness — and the dis tance — had begun then with Jim’s guilt. An unspoken loyalty had been established between them; they had done things for each other — 74

quietly, politely. Then Jim had named his son, who was to be his only child, Edward. Ed pictured the boy now, in an operating room in a strange hospital so far from home. Hit by a rock. Someone must have thrown the rock. Just as someone had driven the car that killed Jim. Nevertheless, the result was an ac cident — even if whoever it was had intended to throw the rock. Ed had never told Jim his broken arm was an accident. So it was with Joyce — Ed couldn't say anything or make the simplest gesture of com fort. With young Ed it was easier. An uncle is already something of a substitute father. Ed had only to be careful never to call him “son”, usurping Jim’s memory. Young Ed twelve now in his turn. Why couldn’t it have been a simple broken arm with a cast that kids could sign and write jokes on? Why his head? Why his brain? Ed couldn't go through all that grief and rage again. He couldn't face Joyce again, her eyes fractured with refusal, while he spoke dully about healthinsurance policies, legal decisions. He must not think. He must be a robot, programmed to one mile ; • the speed limit, . idlights probed. seeing nothing but what ' By the time he parked ar on the street outside the hospital, he -ade his mind a blank. “My name is Laughlin,' said to the night receptionist. “My nepht “Yes, Mr. Laughlin. Hr. Cullen is just coming down the elevator from surgery now, and he can talk to you himself.” Dr. Cullen was in the lobby before Ed had a chance to sit down. About Ed’s age, he look ed exhausted, and Ed realized that he must have been operating on the boy for all the hours Ed had been driving. They shook hands, Dr. Cullen studying Ed’s face. “How is he?” “So far so good,” the doctor said. “He’s in excellent general condition. We’ve got better than fifty-fifty chance for the next forty-eight hours. If he makes that, he’ll be home safe.”

“There’s no way of being sure yet about permanent brain damage.” “When will you know that?” Ed asked. “It’s hard to tell. If there is any, you’ll know sooner than I will because you know him and can pick up signs more quickly.” “What kind of signs?”

“Changes in personality and intelligence.” The anger Ed felt was so strong that for a second he thought he couldn't control it, that he would take hold of the man before him and break his bones, shouting, “No — not Ed — not this boy — no.” “How likely is permanent damage?” he heard himself asking quietly. “I don't know,” the doctor said. “I hope there's not going to be any. There’s reason to hope. Would you like to see him?” “Yes,” Ed said. “He's in the intensive care unit on third floor. Why don't you go up while I call his grandfather?” Approaching the intensive care unit, Ed reminded himself that everyone just out of major surgery looked gray and remote. A nurse greet' ed him, gave him clear instructions, and asked if he wanted a cup of coffee. “After I've seen him, thank you.” And then he was standing beside the bed, looking down at the tan, sleeping face of his nephew. His head was bandaged, of course, and his sleep was clearly drugged. There were all the postsurgical attachments. One hand with

dirty fingernails lay against his child's cheek, the face of a little boy that gave the life to the long body that filled the bed. Surely he was going to be all right! “I told him,” the nurse said, “that he was the dirtiest boy ever to come into the hospital He was very proud of that.” “He was conscious?” “Yes, and very clear about things. When his mother couldn’t be reached, he gave us his grandfather’s phone number.” Ed had not taken his eyes off his nephew. He wanted now just to be left alone with him, for if he could simply go on looking at him like this, he felt, no more harm could come to him. The nurse reached out and took hold of young Ed's shoulders. “Ed? Your uncle is here to see you. Ed?” The boy turned, troubled, but did not wake. “The sooner we get him out of anesthesia, the better,” the nurse said, and tried again, but gently. “As long as he rouses a little every time.” “May 1 stay here with him?” “You can check every twenty minutes or so.

He called his father instead, beginning with the confidence that he could reassure the whole family. But what had he to say except thaat young Ed was tan rathcr than gray, that he had dirty fingernails? The larger facts concerned Ed's father more, and they were not comforting. “Joyce's plane gets to Denver at eleven,” his father said. “She wants you to stay at the hospital. She’ll take a cab from the airport.” “All right,” Ed said, wanting instead to give some promise that nothing would happen, but he had been away from the boy for fifteen minutes, and his own doubt returned. He was not allowed back in to see his nephew immediately. The house doctor was with him. Did Ed want more coffee? Would he like to read a magazine in the waiting room? Another doctor was called.

“What was it?" Ed asked as they walked back together. “Shock, That’s the problem for the first forty-eight hours. We’ve got to keep him out of a coma if we can." This time there was a gray cast under the tanned skin, but young Ed seemed to be sleep ing more naturally. He looked so tired that it was hard for Ed to do what he was told, to call him firmly, but he put shy hands on the boy and said, “Ed. Ed, boy. Wake up." There was no response. “Ed. Ed, you lazy bum, come on. Wake up. You have to." Young Ed stirred, turned, and frowned. “Okay, Ed, come on. Wake up, son, wake up." The boy suddenly opened his eyes and raised himself a little in the bed, but his eyes were blank with animal fear. “Ed!" But he closed his eyes again. “That’s fine,” the doctor said. That’s just fine." “Is it?" “Yes, Mr. Laughlin. Now we’ve got to keep at him every twenty minutes, . . cl it would be a great help if you could do it ui/ ■ he recog nizes you," "Will he?" “I think so." But twenty minutes later the experience was the same. The third attempt was differ ent only in that young Ed struggled a little against him, but it was frightening rather than a reassuring strength. What if he lived, but lived like this, struggling in animal fear against a world he couldn’t recognize? “You need some breakfast, Mr. Laughlin,” the nurse said. Ed didn’t want to eat, but he did, and then he tried to wake his nephew again. So the hours passed — twenty minutes of staring at a magazine in the waiting room, ten minutes of struggling with the boy, wrestling him to the edge of consciousness, only to have to let him go again. With each failure Ed hardened himself further against his own fear, until his voice was sometimes angry as well as firm, until the “son" he had never permitted himself to speak before and had spoken first in shameless tenderness became a command. “Son! Ed! You’ve got to wake up!” The frantic eyes would open, the head turn. “Son!" 78

“Uncle Ed,” the boy whispered finally. It was noon. “Hi,” Ed said, almost as softly, and let the exhausted child back down into sleep, and wanted to let himself down too, in weeping relief. “Mrs. Laughlin has just arrived at the hos pital,” the nurse said. “She’s on her way up.” Ed rubbed his face, feeling the day’s growth of beard. He had forgotten about Joyce. As he walked down the corridor toward the eleva tor, he was aware of his own trembling, of how he must look, and he realised he hadn’t checked anything — hospital insurance, hotel rooms for them. The elevator door opened and Joyce stood before him, in her eyes the same fierce refusal there had been five years ago — refusal to accept, refusal to forgive anyone else who lived. His voice had fallen into him some where. “He’s recognized me, Joyce. He’s — ” Ed wanted to say something sane and • mservativc, but he couldn't. Whether she came to him or he reached out for her, he didn’t know, but $!•■' was in his arms and he could feel her tear ' hrough his shirt. He was stroking her hah nd saying ridiculous things to her about Ed"$ irty finger nails, about his dirty feet at the or of the bed, talking in a way he had never t. ed to any one except his wife. He didn’t IV. i cither shy or guilty, and the twinge in the arm broken so long ago, strained from the hours of strug gling, was simply the good pain of being alive for Joyce. He was not Jim He didn’t really feel much like himself, but that didn't matter. She needed holding. Anyone would do. Why hadn't he known that before? Anyone must do. Perhaps it was something too hard to learn in grief. Perhaps there has to be hope, reason to hope. “He’s all right,” Ed was saying — never mind the dangers of the next minutes or hours or months. “He's all right now.” E.S.

The usual place at which a pilot-to-be reA ceives instruction is at the local airport. There are some academies in the United States which specialize in the aviation sciences (flying, air traffic control, aircraft maintenance, etc.), but these cost a bit more and are particularly useful for the latter two areas mentioned. Be sides, who wants to go to school any more than he has to. When he flies out of the local air port, the prospective pilot generally learns from people who have had a bit of time in the air and are familiar with local weather and traffic conditions. Even before his first flight the important check points of the airplane are shown to the fledgling pilot (make sure both wings are attached, the engine’s in the right place, theres; gas in the gas tanks, etc.).

inspections and service by special mechanics every 100 hours, but there’s no use taking any chances. When he is satisfied that the airplane is flyable, the pilot hops into the left seat, the instructor into the right seat, the engine is start ed, and ground control is called for taxi instruc tions. As I taxied out to the end of the runway (it was about a mile and a half away) I found out that airplanes and pilots don’t like sitting on the ground, especially in summer. This is because it seems that aircraft ventilation sys tems are designed to be used in flight and not on the ground. Thus I learned not to make ground run-ups too long and to get clearance from the tower to take-off as quickly as possi ble to avoid being broiled. I had my first hour of instruction under conditions when the sky was clear, there was ten or twelve miles visibility, and a good hori zon (this is called VFR) Before 1 took off for my second hour of instruction, however, I not iced that the sky was somewhat overcast, but my instructor assured me that it v. old be okay, so we went. I became quite apj • hensivc im mediately after take-off because : saw that I had no horizon. That meant li I couldn't tell whether I was going up or w n, or turn ing left or right. Visibility was Iso down to about two miles so I couldn't . ily see any familiar landmarks. This made he situation even more interesting. At this t me I learned (of necessity) exactly what all the other in struments were for. I had learned earlier about the complicated instruments such as the clock, airspeed indicator, altimeter, and compass. I now became familiar with using the gyro com pass, artificial horizon, and turn and bank indi cator. By the end of the lesson I was getting fairly good at flying by the gauges, but all was not done for the day. I was returning to land when the tower decided it was their turn to have some fun. Toledo Express Airport, my (sigh) home airport (lovely place that it is), has a tower because there are times when the airport gets rather busy with civil and military jets, which have to be told what to do in order to avoid complete confusion in the area. Mid-afternoon isn't one of these times, however. The guys in the tower must have been awful bored that day because they suddenly decided to start se quencing traffic and putting aircraft (there were all of six or seven in the area) in hold ing patterns (pretending they were at J.F.K., L.A.X., or O'Hare, I guess). They were using radar and telling me to turn this way and that 84

the runway as it's supposed to, and the pilot has to compensate for this. The last thing with which to reckon is ground effect which comes into effect between five and seven feet above the ground. When the airplane gets into the ground effect, the controls which had been mushy all the way down suddenly become very touchy, and it takes a while to learn not to over-control. When the instructor is finally satisfied with a pilot’s performance in all the above areas comes one of the most memorable moments in a pilot’s flying career — first solo. Up until this time the instructor has been flying with the pilot on every flight, but now he can take the airplane up by himself in the general area around the airport. Except for the fact that the pilot is a bit nervous, nothing much is different. He takes off, goes around the airport traffic pattern a few times, shoots (that means “makes successfully”) some touch' and-go’s, and comes back to the airport office feeling like he’s ten feet off the ground (and it isn't because he’s still in the airplane). They say that this is generally the time when a pilot shoots some of his best landings (mine weren’t but I’ve usually been the exception rather than the rule in everything else, too). At this point in his career the pilot can not yet carry passengers in an aircraft in which he is “pilot-in-command,” nor can he yet go on cross-country trips, but these are certainly a lot closer to realization than ever before. If I can think of an interesting way to describe (or if I’m overburdened with requests for) the rest of the journey to the private license when the pilot can do these things, you may find your self reading about them in future editions of the BfePR. Gordon Peters ’73

(all by reference to the gauges, of course), but I finally got back to the airport anyway. After that, flying was as simple as making apple pie. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a cook either. After learning the basic maneuvers (climbs, descents, and turns), the novice pilot proceeds on to learning slow flight and stalls. When an airplane stalls, it does not mean that the en gine stops running (they have the peculiar name of “engine out” for that occurrence), but that the wing stops producing the lift that holds the airplane up in the air. This conse quently produces a high rate of descent, a situ ation remedied preferably before the airplane comes into contact with the ground. The tech nique employed in doing a stall is basically that the pilot puts the wing at such a high angle of attack that the air no longer flows smoothly over the top of it. Most stalls are done straight ahead, but for a little excitment they can be done in turns, or the pilot can kick in one rud der just as the airplane stalls, thus producing a very nice spin. Airplanes prefer flying to doing stalls, however, and will recover from them quite nicely if giw enough time, or if a pilot wishes to save time he can do it himself by putting tru plane back into a normal flight attitude ; not doing them in the first place) All tic done in preparation for that trivial matter » . iding the airplane . . . softly. Landing would be irnple matter if it merely as slow flying f.: airplane onto (not into) the ground. Th.; . uly problem is that the airplane acts quite cbff. rently when it gets close to the ground. Convection currents (com monly and mistakenly called “air pockets”) make the airplane climb and descend when the pilot doesn’t want it to. The wind seems to blow from any direction except straight down

Ah, I feel refreshed! After an opener like that I have no place to go but up. As I re turned to the hub of conservative Lutheran classical education for my final year of inten sive study, I was surprised at some of the changes that have taken place on our campus. The faculty seems to be caught up in the swift current of changing times, since it is allowing somewhat longer hair styles, due mainly to the fact that Prof. Plitzuweit returned to the cam pus this year with a shag. Now that I have professors on the firing line, I’ve heard that Dr. Sullivan went to Ireland this past summer, not as a Protestant mercenary, but to visit his cousin Ed, who is on an extended vacation from CBS. Student professor James Tiefel, other wise known as Amos McCoy or Virgil Fats (he has the fastest hoofs in classical organ), after only one month of professorship, is plan ning to take a six-year leave of absence to write his memoirs, entitled How to Wal\ Around Li\e Part of the Established Without Really Trying. In changes which haven’t taken place in student life, Koozy, in his continuous effort to stay with Glen, is again living with him this year, even though he had to move into Prof. Thompson’s home to do so. We hope that there will be a dual call for an associate pastorship awaiting them when they graduate from the Sem. * Special thanks to Mick Frick for stir-

The most drastic physical change on our campus over the summer was the completion of the new gymnasium. As everyone knows, NWC's beautiful new gym was the scene of the Synod convention this past summer. The Synod delegates decided that, because the new floor held up so well when some of the dis plays were nailed into it, we hear they are go ing to sponsor track meets in the gym immedi ately after basketball season, with all contes tants using regulation spikes.

Just the other day I found a piece of paper on the floor of the hallway in the dorm. My curiosity prompted me to read its contents, and I discovered that it was a letter home from a typical NWC Frosh. It reads as follows:

Yet, optimism is expressed by everyone, and, as Coach Thompson says, "We're going to win some games.” Coach Chworowsky has instituted a 4-7 pattern as our basic defensive formation, and this set-up should be capably manned by play ers such as: DE Dan Garbow (Jr.), a strong 220 pounder who should be coming into his own this season; DT John Johnson (Jr.), a 235 pound gift from FVL up in Appleton, whose brawn should come in handy in the trenches; DT Beck "Himmel Hook” Goldbeck (Jr.), an other experienced FVL man, whose 6'7" frame should reduce quite a few enemy passers to zilch; DE Mark Lindner (Soph.), a 205 pound former Prep-1, who will be increasingly tough er as he gains needed experience. The two linebackers will be Randy Rathje (Jr.), who finally decided that intramural football was too tough for him, and Doug "Toby Tucker” Westedt, who returns to hurl his body at on coming rushers after a one-year s iblatical up in the northwoods. Ya-ha!

104.7mc — 20,000 Watts

The defensive secondary will be manned by Cary Grant (Fr.), Don Sutton (Soph.), Bob Jensen (Soph.), John Mattck (Soph.), and Roger Kuerth (Jr.). Since Kucrih is the only member of this area of the Trojan's defense, it could perhaps need a game or t wo under its belt before it becomes a strong point on de fense. Often the "long bomb” serves to get a team's morale down, but this platoon should prevent such occurrences.

On the other hand, the varsity offense has many experienced lettermen returning at the key positions. Seniors Rick "Skinny” Zahn at center, Augie Ristow and Chas. Learman at the tackles, and George Swanson at tight end are back for one last fling before football is a thing of the past. Two sophomores, Walt Street and Mike Hintz, appear to have the in side track to the guard positions, and they should help to bolster what could be a good blocking line. Ed Schuppe (Jr.) will take off enough time from his library duties to play at the split end position. The starting backfield should include Steve Ehlke (Jr.) at QB, and Don Thompson (Jr.), John Dolan (Soph.), and Mark Toepel (Soph.) at the running back positions. As can be seen, the experience should be there to provide the Trojans with some good yardage this year.

Barring any serious injuries to any key players and with the experience that younger players will pick up as the season progresses, the Trojans’ prospects for a successful year could be very high. With a little extra effort here and there, NWC could pull off a couple j surprises. And with sonic real staunch school spirit, it may be that much easier to do.

The initial game of the season proved to be a big disappointment for the home crowd as the Eureka Red Devils submarined the Tro jans, 19-0. After a scoreless and sloppy first half, Eureka put six on the scoreboard with a 54 yard punt return by defensive back Larry Anderson. This seemed to daunt NWC’s spir it, as the team couldn’t pick up it feet again until the end of the game. Eugene Watt took a 21 yard scoring pass from QB Kim Hawkins late in the third quarter and then booted over the PAT to make it 13-0.

“ . . . and it came to pass, when rhrv were in the field, that Cain rose up agai i . Abe! his brother, and slew him." Gen. 4:8b T-Jere we have recorded for us the first mur^der in the history of mankind Cain, out of envy of his brother Abel, committed the first open transgression of what was to become the Fifth Commandment. Now let the ques tion be asked: “Why was Cain envious of Abel?'1 Abel was a shepherd, and sacrificed the best of his flock to God, out of thanks for the Lord's blessings to him. His heart and soul was entirely in what he was doing. Cain, a tiller of the field, also brought of his produce to the Lord for offerings. But God looked fav orably on Abel, and was not moved by the offerings of Cain. Cain merely executed an outward offering; his was not from the heart. We therefore would have to consider him hypo critical and, in a certain perspective, godless. It was this godlessness, in effect, that led him to commit that memorable sin.

On another occasion in history one sees the terrible results of two godless cities, Sodom 92

and Gomorrah. The cities became so utterly infested with sin that God saw fit to do noth ing other than destroy the nests of such im morality. Yet Lot and his two daughters were spared by their faith in God, their true Christ ianity. Jerusalem is another example which perish ed by nature of conquest on account of the un godly, hypocritical attitude of its inhabitants.

The classic example of ruin by corruption of morals, lasciviousness, is that of the Roman Empire. God allowed the nation to achieve victory after victory for His special purpose, the sowing of the Word in a world of one com mon language. The Romans, of course, did not realize this and took the credit for themselves. With the increase in power and wealth, a rap id decline in morals took place, and soon this corruption of the mind with worldly plea sures led to the fall of that great empire.

Of late, however, there iias been a decline in the morals of Americans and great devi ations from God’s Word. Godlessness goes hand in hand with sin. Sin is the root of all the problems that ever have been, and ever will be, in this world. The growing crime rate in the U.S. is only one testimony to this fact. Mur ders, rapes robberies, illicit sexual relationships between unmarried couples, more often than not resulting in unwanted pregnancies, are a mere few. These unwanted pregnancies result all too often in another crime and sin, perhaps more horrible than the act which produced the child: the abortion. An abortion is another form of the offense which was first brought about by Cain; yes, murder! One could continue with examples of sins resulting from godlessness until his pen ran dry, and he would still not have exhausted the great numbers of them.

The United States has much more to con' cern itself with, in eliminating such iniquity, than overpopulation or other issues of the day which God in His divine wisdom will watch and handle. Yes, it is indeed something to com cern ourselves with in crushing godlessness, for the future of our nation.

Now it is certain that total elimination of godlessness in the U.S. as well as anywhere, is impossible because of man’s sinful nature. However, the attack against it can, and must begin with the individual: YOU! J.M.P.

There it stood, reaching like a gigantic obelisk, 100 stories into the sky. This site so fas cinated everyone that the rest of the day was spent here. Never weary of the opportunity to learn, we asked questions about this unusual building. One question in particular was asked by avid American history students. Why did n't Button Gwinnelt or William Whipple have the building named after himself instead of John Hancock, whose “John Henry” just hap pened to look nice on the Declaration of Inde pendence? I’ll have to concede that it is a rath er difficult question. Be it as it may, the quest for answers still went on. It was just like those ancient Egyptian days when everyone chipped in to erect monstrous buildings. Two thousand men in just five mil lion man hours, hauling 42000 tons of struc tured steel and 400 miles of concrete, created this monument to the god of industry. In lieu of sacrificial rites Chicago demanded “air rights” at a cool $89239.30 annually. Of course, then there’s always Jerry Wolman, who was the slave-driver of the operation. He was said to have put his whole self into the project, $5 million to be exact, when like London Bridge his plans literally came tumbling down on him. Alas, he now has joined the ranks of the hoi

The actual relevancy of the situation did not begin until we left Wisconsin, a state which offers copious educational opportunities, more than could be mentioned in this paper. Once over the border into wild and woolly Illinois, we were subjected to their roads. Need I say more? It sort of gave you the feeling that you were blazing a trail while you bottomed in pot holes and sped down the Kennedy Express way at 10 MPH. Over to the left was Lake Michigan, a sight immediately recalling to our mind's eye the panoramic vista of the Dead Sea, especially sharp to the senses. On the right was the silhouette of the city’s buildings, leaving the Washington Hotel back home some thing to be desired. Types of Babylonian ziggurats? At least from a distance they seemed to be such, terraced with pyramid-like shapes. (An earlier instance of this was exemplified in the Senior Winter Carnival sculpture — the tower of Babel or Confusion.) Straight ahead was the “Magnificent Mile,” Michigan Aven ue, whose nickname called to mind the “Aven ue of Sphinxes” leading up to the Colossus back Egypt-way. Each structure along the 94

F. W. Woolworth Co.

The residents of the building seemed to be cliff-dwellers, tucked away in their 705 apart ments, which ranged in cost from $220 to $775/month. Comments made by various peop le residing here proved to be interesting, to say the least. One woman living on the 92nd story “visits” her apartment, while in reality she lives in a hotel on street level. Reason? She's not used to be “up in the air.” Then there’s the poor guy on the 90th floor who tap ed his pictures to the wall because of the sway of the building and calls down to the lobby for the “lower level” weather forecast, since it never rains up there. I wonder if the Baby lonians had such problems? It'd be interesting to see a power failure come over this place, since it takes enough juice daily to run a city of 30,000 inhabitants. I'll bet the high-rise peop le would suddenly turn “Simon Stylites” and live contently in their little towers rather than descend 1850 steps!

The day after that: Sears and Roebuck to exceed the limits of both John Hancock and New York buildings. Maybe NWC will be next. Who knows? One thing’s for certain though.

It's an idea! Let's put some "life" into life insurance That’s what Lutheran stu dents are thinking about . . . life. What’s ahead. What good things are going to happen. A career. A wife. A home and family. And, believe it or not, life insurance from Aid As sociation for Lutherans is very much a living thing. First, it’s the only guaranteed form of savings. You set your financial goal and complete it even if you become physically disabled. The money you put aside in life insurance can come in handy to help make a down payment on a home,

buy a new car, provide an umbrella for a rainy day . . . even help send your own son or daughter to college. But the time to start is now when rates are the lowest they’ll ever be for you, and your good health makes you insur able. It’s an idea! And the idea man is your AAL repre sentative . . . the man who tells the life insurance story the way it is . . . for the living. He’s a fellow Lutheran and dedicated to common concern for human worth.

their surprise, he not only earned a diploma, but went on to Brandeis University. His pro fessors there included Herbert Marcuse, whose other bright student, Angela Davis, is current ly awaiting trial on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder. Beginning in 1962, Hoffman became involv ed in the incongruous complexities of Amer ican politics. He helped in the Stuart Hughes for Senator campaign, the first major campaign that involved a peace candidate running for higher office. He made various appearances in civil rights demonstrations, voter registration drives, and at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. During the winter of 1966, a new culture arose, based in part on the idealisms and sub sequent frustrations of these youthful Amer ican politicians, combined with an equally youthful nonchalance toward the established society.

Think quick, gang. Who’s Abbie Hoffman? Does the name ring any bells? No, she’s not a woman's liberationist; in fact, she's not even a she. He happens to be one of the leaders of the most widespread cultural, social and poli tical revolution in the history of the United States. Or he's an ungrateful loudmouth, the lambaster whose only talent is finding the small threads of fault interwoven in the fabric of America. It all depends on who’s speaking. The point is, though, that agree or disagree with his opinions and motives, we cannot ignore him or the movement he stands for. Hoffman, like many of his contemporaries, provides only a sketchy outline of his life and the circumstances that molded his mind. Abbie was born in 1937 to Jewish parents (with a first name like Abbie, his given name must be Abraham or something similarity Sem itic) . His only noteworthy accomplishment in high school was hitting his English teacher in the nose, an act which led to his suspension from school. After much deliberation his par ents sent him to a private school, and much to

Emerging from San Francisco, New York, and other major urban areas across the coun try, this culture invited one and all to enjoy 98

• t

the drugs-sex-rock bag without looking back. Whereas civil rights movements and other maj or protests of previous years had been set in motion to help certain minority groups of obvious distinction, the new culture extended om inous but open arms to all misfits and malcon tents, regardless of color, race, or former con victions. This idea was more appealing to Hoffman, who never had been satisfied with wealth or social status, not to mention the growing dis appointment he felt with the American form of government. He developed an inspiring ar ray of acts, which would probably fall into the general category of theatrical politics — such things as throwing money out at the Stock Ex change, dumping soot and smoke bombs into the lobby of the Con Edison electrical plant, and appearing naked in neighborhood churches. In August of 1967 he met Jerry Rubin, who was destined to become a very important per son in Hoffman's life during the next three years. Together they worked up a dramatic scenario called "The Exorcism of the Penta gon," designed to arouse thoroughly the people of Washington into some sort of wild rebellion against the Vietnam war effort. For all practi cal purposes, the attempt failed. Until this time Abbie Hoffman was gain ing more renown among hi revolutionary peers as a leader of the subcultu.. . but was still un known outside his immedie : circles. He was still an accident waiting to hr ; pen, still search ing for the right opportunit -. > become a house hold word. His chance came at the 1968 Dem ocratic National Convention. Nineteen sixty-eight will go down as one of the most bizaare election years in the history of American politics. Discontent reigned the hearts of liberals and conservatives alike as President Lyndon Johnson managed to disap point every major faction of the population with his Vietnam war policies. By autumn, 1967, several "Dump Johnson" movements were proceeding better than had been antici pated, and men from all sides began to take their appointed places in the line-up for the nation’s highest office. America’s youth, both college students and young career types, con stituted probably the most disgruntled individ ual coalition, and they were hopeful of mak ing a few changes, or at least rolling a few heads. They sided mostly with two liberal peace candidates, Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy. Between them they not only suc ceeded in removing Johnson from the picture, 99

but appeared to be gaining more support for their own causes as well. Their appeal to young people lay mostly in the fact that they were as anti-establishment as candidates for the high' est established office in the world could appear to be, as well as being quite disdainful of party hierarchy. Then in June, Kennedy was assas' sinated and McCarthy succumbed to party politics that made Hubert Humphrey, Johnson’s vice'president, the odds-on favorite to win his party’s nomination. The idealism of youth soon vanished, and bitter frustration gained the upper hand. Youth felt they had been gypped. Since both their men had been members of the Democratic Par' ty, that party became the object of their anger. Although too late to make their man a winner, it was not too late to earn a proverbial place in the sun by registering their discontent. They planned full scale demonstrations for the Chi' cago Democratic convention at the end of August. An already volatile situation now took a decided turn for the worse as a new character entered the scene. This was, of course, Mayor Daley. Daley recognised that these youthful rebels could disrupt the convention and cast a dubious light on both his party and his city. He reacted by putting his police on twelve' hour shifts, calling up the National Guard, and ordering everyone in charge to hamper or dis perse any suspicious crowds. Hoffman seised the opportunity. Moving with Rubin and his newly formed Yippie (Youth International Politics) Party, he took over demonstrations and organised them into successful, anarchical forces. To encourage action, he nominated Pigasus the pig for Presi dent. The more uptight the establishment be came, the more venomously the attacks contin ued. The rest is history. Demonstrations reach ed a climax the third night of the Convention as open warfare erupted on the streets of Chi cago. The only casualty of the fracas was that of truth. Both sides claimed initial innocence, citing the testimony of highly subjective wit nesses and whitewashed "first-hand" reports. Hoffman, Rubin, Tom Hayden, and other lead ers of the demonstration were charged with con spiracy to cross state lines with intent to incite riot. This, in turn, led to the trial of the Chi cago Eight (as they came to be known) before Judge Julius Hoffman (no relation). The trial will be long remembered as a mockery of Amer ican justice.

vinced. His repeated attacks on “Pig Nation,'” with its inflated capitalistic greed and inefficent bureaucratic government, became ludicrous when compared with his own disregard for morality, virtue, or his inclinations to “rip someone off” whenever the opportunity ar ses, Yet his discontent is real, and his observations about America's faults are sometimes brutally correct. His frustrations must mount when he too realizes he has no plausible or workable answers.

With this, Hoffman proceeded to other forms of intellectual expression. He related some of them to an eager public in his book about 1969's contribution to the cultural explosion, entitled Woodstock Ration. Hoffman was It comes down to an age-old story.

makes such a system its own. The Church, also, is a type of society with its own criterion, Scripture, only this time the stress is properly placed where it should be — on God, and not on man. But what happens when secular society is superimposed on religious society, ie., a church body? Many would answer this question, “A compromise is effected.” Now this may seem like a very elcmentary response, but think about it. How many 100

realize the situation and its ramifications? Don’t the saints of that church body know that they will gradually lose their identities (what they represent and, in reality, are) when such a merger takes place? Shakespeare’s Juliet once stated, “What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet." In other words, to apply this quote to the two “factions" just mentioned, the King dom of God, embodied in the Church and the kingdom of the Devil found in mundane so ciety, are separate and distinctive entities Ap ply this to what we saw happen this past sum mer. Two church bodies, WELS and LCMS, both bearing the name “Lutheran," met in two convention atmospheres which differed from each other as do day and night. Why? The difference lies in the area of criterion, an all or none principle when it comes to religion. Deviate one iota and you have nothing — “that which we would call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet." Call it Scripturallybased, but if it isn't, Scripture will judge and condcm, for we are gi\. •> the indictment to mark and avoid the syo.-• tic, but to uphold and preserve the authen The case in point becomes clearer as one ■ ’ closer.

manifest by the second of their two Affirma tions to carry on: 1) evangelical 2) and so cial ministries. They also supported MissionLife materials, a series to be used in their par ochial school systems, “which at first would be difficult for the ‘inexperienced’ teacher to in struct from" because of rational explanations of Bible stories. WELS Lutherans weren’t the only ones who were alerted to this dangerous situation in Missouri’s midst. Dr. Wm. Oesch, member of the Free Lutheran Church of Germany (sis ter church of LCMS) and editor of the Lutherischer Rundblic\, sadly stated in a letter to Pres. Preus, LCMS, “You are already two church bodies, those who want to correct false doctrines and . . . those who are tolerating such liberal doctrine and practice as violates your own constitution. How can we agree to dis agree in ever-widening areas and then run Christ’s church by political law?" A number since then have taken ‘the back door out", as Preus put it, from membership in the Missouri Synod, and have either become independent (FAL, for example), or have come into fellow ship with WELS and ELS. Yet another danger is foreseen. “What’s in the name," WELS? Could we ever be ruled “out of order" as was Pastor John Bollmann for not obeying parlimentary rules when he made the resolution that the pastors of LCMS be assured of the teaching of the Truth in the Synod's training colleges on the last day of convention? Could it happen? Yes, it could! Christ tells us to take heed lest we fall. When we’re sure of ourselves, we are on the brink of danger. We should strive to keep Luther anism, not as a Reformation of the Medieval Church, but as a Re-formation of the Truth which was buried within that church. We should separate the wheat from the tares re garding doctrinal matters and thus avoid a twocriterion, double-standard church. For a man, or a body of men, may cease to be Lutherans, but a doctrine which is Lutheran once is Luth eran forever. Let our prayer during this season of Thanksgiving and Joy be one of minute intention to seek out and be mindful of our Name and that which is contained in that Name: not the name, WELS, but the Name, Christ Jesus; not the men contained under the name, WELS, but the Salvation contained therein. Of this may our Synod ever be mindful!

WELS opened the« nvention with the theme, 'We believe — l lore we speak! (II Cor. 4-.10 6? Ps. 116) '.vise LCMS opened theirs with Scripture. it to reconcile (II Cor. 5:19-21)." Both . . red of the partici pants, action. Yet we sa-.v two sets of peace ful and violent action" demonstrated. The WELS Convention with its peace centered in Christ and with its spiritual rebellion against the social gospel gave acknowledgment to the theology of evangelism and, in turn, to that evangelism in practice. The Synod attempted to enumerate its countless blessings, the fore most being the large backlog of work yet to be done and the many opportunities which this presented to mission work. Missouri, on the other hand, showed an apparent peace of apa thy. I say this because of men like Dr. Everett Kalin who wrote an article in the Concordia Theological Monthly against inspiration and Dr. Harold Roeling who is presently pushing evolution in his book, The God Who Cares, to mention a few. These men have been per mitted to remain ‘Lutheran." Investigation into the Concordia Seminary incidents revealed a will to continue the inquiries, although some rejected to the manner of investigation to be undertaken. LCMS did violence to Scripture in supporting the social gospel. This was made

The End of Another Era Caturday classes. For countless years those two words caused many a NWC student to flinch and with good reason. Can you im agine what Greek vocables or history lectures on Saturday do to growing minds? True, clas ses met for only three hours on those mornings, but that time always seemed to be longer than any entire day, with the exception of blue Monday. It wasn't the fact that you had to get up early for classes that made Saturdays so rough. It was the knowledge that everyone you knew back home was in bed yet. Then, too, Satur day's homework had to be prepared on Friday

With a history such as Saturday classes had, you can readily picture the festive mood the campus was in when news of their end came out. The Saturdays were counted down and happily left behind. Rumor has it that the faculty even had a get-together to observe the passing of an era. Whether their assembly was called to mourn the old or to welcome in the new has never been determined.

it’s the

real thing

Coming back this fall, the veterans of the campus looked forward to Saturday. They didn't know what to expect from this new pri vilege. Most decided to test it out by not set ting their alarm clocks before going to bed. Un fortunately there was more than one who woke up at five minutes after eight, wondering what he was still doing in bed at such an hour. The conditioned reflex of previous Saturdays took a little getting use to.

Now that we have had a couple months to adjust, let's take a look at the changes the lack of Saturday classes has brought. Remember those old fighters who said we should have Sat urdays off, so they could catch up on their studying? Well, if an independent survey were 102

to be taken, you would find most of them get' ting some extra shut-eye. Although they hast ily point out that the library isn’t open any way, so it doesn't really pay to rouse oneself too early. It must be noted however that a varying percentage do use Saturdays to work on that Hebrew verb they never got around to learn ing or to take notes for that paper which is get ting dangerously close. Having Saturdays off also gives the student a choice, for example, either doing Monday's homework Sunday and watching Saturday's football game or doing Monday's work on Saturday and watching Sunday’s football game.

The students who lived in the vicinity of Watertown used to have a definite advantage. They could go home often to have their clothes washed and to take care of other pressing bus iness. Meanwhile those who lived farther away were forced to do their own laundry and mark off the days until a major vacation rolled around. Now the “long" weekend gives more people the chance to take a trip home to see Mom and Dad and to find out how the corn crop is coming, The I;-.: r numbers of students going home also k the dorms quieter for those who remain. ••all, it helps everyone.

It took a long time for the change to come about, but it was worth the wait. The end of Saturday classes removed one of the two big problems which every student had. The only question now is, how do we get rid of blue Monday?

THE PIER:

i •p

T T SUALLY at this time of night there aren't too many people out here. A few fisher' men, mayybe a couple in love, a few hippies spending the night in sleeping bags. Different kinds of people, all on the pier for different reasons. On each side of the pier, a railing extends about halfway out from the mainland. After that, only a long bench separates a man from the cold waters. I can come here every night and still feel uneasy as I walk out toward the open sea. For the lights overhead only dimly illumine the walkway; and as I look down the deserted pier after passing the rail'

ing, I can see shore lights neither on my right, nor my left. The sky has united with the ocean in an evil pact of darkness, and no water line can be distinguished from the black. A path that stretches into space; a void, a complete emptiness. The feeling is heightened on nights when the wind stirs the restless sea into confusion, and the huge pier pulses with life. Don’t misunderstand me, the sea and I have a close affinity which can’t be broken. But on certain nights that walk makes me feel ill at ease. You might think otherwise. There, farthest out at the northeast corner sits the old man. Down here every night, he fishes ’til dawn, the most patient fisherman I’ve known. Nice old guy, and he must be pretty old, judging from his grizzled beard and tough, wrinkled face. Must’ve had quite a lifetime. There’s history in that old man, I can feel it, smell it when I stand near him. But for the most part he’s quiet, content to sit in rapport with the sea winds. “Yeh, I’m fishin’ bottom.” A gruff voice. “Halibut's one of the few fish I can eat. Hard' er to ketch, though. Squid eggs prob’ly ate my bait long time ago. Where you fishin’?” “Uh, I’m just walkin’ around, don’t really fish much here.”

OU “I see ya out here quite a bit.” Silence, then, “Yeh, the fishin’s not too good here any' more.” "How long have you lived around here?” “Long time. This pier won’t leave me be.” He looks at me for the first time tonight. “Seen those kinda' eyes before, full o’ curiosity, hun' gry for information. Huh?” “Well, uh . . . ” “You want a tale? I’ll tell ya’ story, lad, and everything I say’ll be gospel. Yeh, I'll tell ya’ story.” He turns his attention back to the sea and his ancient pole. “First time I saw this pier was more'n seventy years ago. Those were boomin' times for South California and I guess the whole United States. Was the year of a new century, and me younger’n you are now. I was bout fifteen. Sighted the pier from shipboard, while cornin' down the coast. Y’see, I was part of th’ crew on a lumber ship down from Seattle. That comp’ny supplied a lot of lumber for the Los Angeles area, and most of it f<- this country, too.” “Why’d you come this far 'i i th?” “I’m cornin’ to that. We • .loaded that lumber right here on this pier, up that gang way right under us. Was cheaper to ship the uncut lumber down here, cut it, and truck it right t’all the building sites. Course, we had t’unload at high tide, so’s to be deep enough.” “But what about the Port of Los Angeles at San Pedro? Why didn't you unload there?” “Wasn't finished yet, still dredgin' out San Pedro and Long Beach harbors. So this pier was the easiest way to get the lumber to the trucks. They loaded ’em right over there where that long-hair is fishin’.” Takes up the slack in his line. “Anyway, I was a cabin boy, cook, and crew member all in one. Besides me, there were three crewmen to keep the steam engine runnin’ and the lumber chains tight; then the cap’n, who made all the decisions; and the first mate, who gave the orders. I did most everything else, from the kitchen to the bilge pump. Hard times. “I got along fairly well with everyone aboard, except the first mate.” A long pause. “Guess I’ll never know just why he hated me, but he hated me with a passion. Someday 106

you’ll meet someone like that, lad, someone who’ll hate you, and you won’t know why. Maybe he thought I was threatenin’ his position. Maybe he was jealous ’cause the cap’n liked my biscuits. Just don’t know.” Taking in his line, the old man replaces his dead bait, carefully hooking the quivering an* chovie in the back, so it can swim freely within the limits of the leader. Then taking the pole in his gnarled hands, he casts into the darkness. The old spinning reel hisses in defiance until the bait hits the water. “Cates was his name, Cates. He had this dog, a terrier, that also hated me. That dog gave me a lot of trouble: gettin’ into the beef jerky all the time, bitin’ my legs, and such. They both wanted to make life mis’rable for me whenever they saw me, and they did. “This went on and on, me gettin’ yelled at every day and occasional beatings. Got worse with each trip up and down the coast. One time he got so mad at me he picked up a gaff and started swingin' at me. See this scar here?” Rolling up his sleeve, he points out a long wicked scar, extending from his elbow down and around almost to his wrist. “That’s where he caught me.” “Why didn't you tell the captain?” “I was too scaired of rvat devil of a first mate. Told the cap'n my hand slipped while sharpening knives. “Then one night we - . steamin’ down the coast, loaded full of un : : lumber. A strong gale was blowin’, and she was listing bad with each big swell. I was just finishing my galley clean-up. That had been a hard day, rough as the sea was, and I’d never gotten the chance to swab amidships. Well, I knew what to ex pect from Mr. Cates, since he was in one of his ungodly moods. So, when he came through the galley hatch, I scooted up the aft hatch. But his dog grabbed my leg in his teeth and hung on. I could do nothing but kick the animal off me. Now that was the wrong thing to do, 'cause when Mr. Cates saw that, I think he went insane with his anger. He grabbed a carving knife and, face red in his rage, chased me up into the storm. “The lumber was laid lengthwise on deck, in the shape of a pyramid, but flat on top. Those were huge logs, and could be held only with chains. Every time we came into a swell, and she listed bad, I could hear those logs groanin’ to be set free. Anyway, I took off up starboard side towards the bow, runnin’ be tween logs and rail, a space little more than 107

than two feet wide. I was terrified, with that madman after me and the storm raging all around me besides. Then a wave knocked me over. By the time I got up, ol' Mr. Cates was almost right on me, so I went up and over the logs to portside, using the chains to help me climb. Again I ran towards the bow, Mr. Cates followin’. “Then I heard a cry. Turned around, and through the blinding spar)'1 I could make out the form of the first mate, pinned up ’gainst the logs.” The old man’s speech becomes heavy. “It seemed that when the ship heeled to port, the lumber shifted just as he came down that side, and he got his foot caught 'tween the logs. His face through the spray . . . can still remem ber his face. The pain. Was a slow motion nightmare for me. I walked towards him in a daze, didn’t know what to do. He was scream ing and crying for me to help him, screaming that his foot was crushed. I grabbed a winch handle and crawled toward him, thinking may be I could pry the logs apart. Then, all of the sudden, the dog was in front of me ... It wouldn't let me close to him, must’ve thought to protect his master.” His voice drops to a whisper, as the horror of so long ago returns

to him. “There I was with the dog and the screaming man. Could do nothing. The ship heeled hard to port again, and I watched him slowly get crushed between the logs.” His eyes never drifting from the horizon, the old man stops for a timeless minute, then continues. “A wave blew me down, and the dog was washed down a scupper and out to sea. That was the last I saw before I threw up and passed out. A crewman must’ve gotten me below ’cause I woke up in my berth. “Our next port o’ call was this pier The cap’n didn't want any trouble, so he left me here after they dropped cargo. My first night I spent right here, fishin’ for my dinner with a maakeshift line. Caught a halibut.” We both sit for a while. The dory fisher' man are now busy, and one by one they motor out past us to the open sea. The twilight out lines the hills to the east and breaks the spell of darkness. Reeling in his line, he takes apart his rig, and carefully packs up his tackle box. “Sun's cornin’ up. Time to go. Take care, Lad.” And he shambles off down the pier, to the mainland. S. Stone

UNIVERSITY

order to understand life at the medieval university, we must take a look at its origin and development. By the twelfth century, mas ters and students had become so numerous at the noted cathedral schools that it became neces sary to institute organization, rules, and aca demic requirements. n

The first step was for students and masters to combine into associations which eventually obtained legal recognition from municipal, state, and ecclesiastical authorities. This was achieved most notably at the. University of Paris. During the carnival of 1228 1229 a riot broke out between some of the students and townsmen of Paris. Although the students were mostly at fault, during the course of it the prevot of Paris and his men massacred a group of students innocently playing games outside the

Smart Clothes for Men The Store with the wall. When it failed to get retribution, the un iversity disbanded for almost two years until Gregory IX, squarely on the side of the univer sity, gave it virtual immunity from local secu lar and ecclesiastical officials. This papal bull has been called the Magna Carta of the univer sity because it gave the university complete freedom.

“FLOWER FRESH CLEANING” of Fine Furniture and Carpets Commercial, Industrial and Institutional Building Maintenance

Through the preservation of . dent letters and university regulations we l: ow a great deal about the rich variety of ex i nccs and extracurricular activities university life afford' ed. As today, we find all the recoy izablc types of students — the rich and the poor, the dili' gent and the lazy, those who were earnestly laying the foundations of a career, and those who were merely enjoying a vacation from home. Of course, the campus man of today has nothing over the medieval extrovert bent on having a real university experience. We hear that students went “about the streets armed, attacking the citizens, breaking into houses, and abusing women. They quarrel among themselves over dogs, women, or what-not, slashing off one another’s fingers with their swords.” Taverns were numerous, women of ill repute abounded, and there was gambling, dancing, and singing. Contemporary preachers raised their hands in horror at the drunkenness, violence, and im morality of the students, all the more because they were legally clerics and the student poems and songs, which celebrate the less respectable joys of life in charming but unclassical Latin,

there were very, very few textbooks. Usually the student ended up writing his own textbook from the lectures.

For the student who really enjoyed himself, university life was expensive. Like his modern counterpart, the medieval student only wrote to his parents when in need of money. Uni' versity officials even made what today we would call mimeographed or form letters, and sold them to students to send to their parents. One Oxford student ended a pathetic letter with the following lines: “Wherefore I respectfully beg your paternity that by the promptings of divine pity you may assist me, so that I may complete what I have well begun. For you must know that without Ceres and Bacchus, Apollo grows cold.,, Not until after 1250 were attempts made to help the poor students who required assistance. Before this time they had barely survived, and many became ill or died from lack of decent food and quarters. The

When the student had matriculated the prescribed number of years, he was given a very rigorous oral examination, and if he passed,

was accepted into the faculty, or set up a luc' native practice with the church or state govern' ments. Theology was the most honored course of study, called “the queen of sciences.” At the same time it was a difficult course, and few students entered and fewer graduated. One reason was because the course of study lasted 14 years. Theological treatises and textbooks of the thirteenth century were really a wonder. They were carefully planned, written, and doc umented. Scholars have sought a simple, uni fied explanation of the universe. Few have ever found one as complete, as consistent, and as satisfactory as that developed by the theology of the thirteenth century.

poor student simply ga'■ .aaks to God for the opportunity to learn. :ly in 1258 Rob ert de Sorbon establish t: residential hall for deserving students. T: i spread rapidly until resident halls or don itones became an integral part of university life. Each course of study had its own residence Shall at the univer sity, and each came to be known as a college.

Science was probably the least specialized course of study. They relied heavily on the ancients and added little new for fear of being branded heretics. The experiments of Roger Bacon and his associates were not known until much, much later.

Students were divided into four linguistic groups called “nations”. These were the French (including all Latin people), Norman, Picard (which also includes the Low Countries) and English (including English, German, and north eastern Europeans).

Gradually the universities became the cen ter of culture in western Europe. All know ledge was found at the university and the world revolved around it. By Luther’s time every large city and capitol in Europe had its own university. Not again until the present century would the universities of the western world dominate the life of the mind. The spread of education was not only notable in itself, but had a more direct result in furnishing a shelter to the new movements until they were strong enough to do without such support. It is signi ficant that the reformation of Wycliff, Huss, and Luther, all started in universities.

The students then enrolled in one of four courses 1) the arts, 2) theology, 3) law and 4) medicine. After studying liberal arts for six years, a student received a masters degree in the arts and then went on into his special ized field of study. In the meantime he often rented a room, usually above a tavern, and taught other students the arts. There were no classrooms, only rented halls and houses. Stu dents sat on straw or ground and took notes on the lectures. Few questions were asked, and

It was a cold October evening as the C£s?C editor sat in his room trying to decide whether he should finally start reading The Genesis Flood or type out his column for the B&?R. Be cause the heat had not yet been turned on in the dorm and his fingers were turning blue from the cold, he decided that typing out his column would be of more benefit to his physi cal being, for as his fingers would race over the keys, the ice beneath his fingernails would melt.

As he sat down at his 1836 Model-Q Rem ington, his roommate sat with his legs crossed and limp-wristedly picked his nose, trying to decide whether the markings in his Hebrew text were the workmanship of a neurotic Nazarite or were the result of the horde of flies which had moved in for the winter months. The fingers of the genius wandered aimlessly over the typewriter keys, producing such ax iomatic bits of wisdom as the following.

Some of the results of this year’s initiation are Paul Grebe’s learning to rollerskate uphill backwards, Bruce Wietzke’s discovering how many chestnuts there are in Watertown, Lindloff's getting a date with a girl having more class than himself, and Hefti’s being placed on somewhat of a pedestal in front of West Hall, an honor well deserved by such a conscientious student. Also, a number of Frosh have become adicted to one another’s pacifiers.

Our football team’s record so far this season may not show the best results in the winloss column, but we all know that our gallant pad-cladded heroes are out there flighting their hardest, even though the cheering of the crowd is at times far from enthusiastic. In this line of thought I offer you the following: Oh football team, oh football team. Our cheering may be murky, But win a game by Thanksgiving Day, Or for dinner you’ll get turkey.

I have heard that our forme ->y most super ior organist, because of his free;vent absences from his assigned playing slot.' for morning chapel (always for good reason of course), has graciously conceded his halt wed position to a more accomplished organist, Jon Peterson, As long as I’m on the subject of music, I'm sure all NWC students saw the diagram of Dr. Lehmann’s “Super-Id” on the dining hall blackboard. Speaking of Dr. Lehmann, he seemed to have somewhat of a confrontation with a stereo set during one of the band's practices on the football field. It was assumed that the band music which was pouring forth from Wartburg Hall was not sanctioned by A.O.L. ALSO, Dr. Lehmann, in his constant effort to put on outstanding performances here at Northwestern, almost did a solo stand and chair-setting-up routine at the Prep Homecoming program during the performance of a group whose name I do not choose to mention, The prep's first solo Homcoming did come off quite well. The members of an exterminate ed musical group known as “Anthem” were quite pleased to find out that their one and only smash (that's what should be done to it) hit record predicted the results of the Prep Home coming queen contest. Another example of fine taste at Northwestern. 114

Growing Up Goodness

A number of Frosh were very much sur prised after the first few days in their Greek class. They discovered that they will not only learn to read and write the language, but will also learn to squeak Greek.

It seems as though I have neglected to men tion anything concerning the Sophomore class. If my comments on them were anything like the pep skit they put on, they wouldn't be fit for print. A few Sophs are in a musical group which has a real down-home, up-and-away, flipped-out sound. They will be hurting next month when the person responsible for their heavy sound goes into the Navy.

which hurled its blazing brands and showers of glittering sparks aloft, caused the cheeks of those who witnessed it to blanch, as they saw it stretch out its long-reaching anus over the neighboring buildings and wrap them in his frightful glory. This was at ten o’clock at night . . . Onward the tide of fire rolled, revelling, crackling and roaring in its de struction . . . There was a hope succeeded in every breast to the fright of the previous hours. “It was that the river would arrest the progress of its enemy, the fire. Up to the water’s edge it rolled, and prayers were sent up that, like the waters of the Red Sea, it would interpose as hopeful a barrier to the flames as that did to Pharaoh's host. The fire still lapped along the edge of the river, and still, as in a savage hate of man, over whom it had for once triumphed, flung its sparks and brands further, further into the water, trying to plant some messenger of de struction where in longed to os itself. By the glare of its burning the eight became a mockery of day in its abnormal, shifting light. Was there no foothold on which it could cross? This was the question asked by the fire . . .At length the fire answered its questions by flinging a showe of burning brands upon the Adams street bridge, and the wind, the friend of the fire, fanned them until the bridge was all aflame. Now it had a shorter distance to leap, and with a savage bound the fire was in the heart of the city — in its fat, rich heart, where active wealth had piled its palaces of commerce and housed its treasures in with iron and stone and thought it was free from the sweep of flood or flame. Eastward the fire journeyed with its fevered stride, eating like a withering canker through the vitals of the city . . .

Jjn October 8 our nation observed a centennial. The honor was not for an ord:nary event; it was not the founding of a great in stitution or the birth of an illustrious person. Rather this event is remembered primarily for the havoc and destruction which it caused. The blazing inferno of the Great Chicago Fire has been extinguished now for 100 years. Never theless, this fire still flickers and glows in the pages of American history and in the minds of many of its citizens. The fire started and spread rapidly as is the case with most major disasters. The conflagra tion had its source in the Irish neighborhood south of the heart of the city. A familiar legend has it that the fire was started by a poor cow who kicked over a lantern because she was dis satisfied with her mistress’ milking methods. Traditionally, therefore, a certain Mrs. O'Leary has shouldered the blame for the Great Chicago Fire and has often been depicted as an old witch. Mrs. O’Leary always denied this charge, and modern research has now finally come to her aid. A magazine put out by the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry claims that the fire did start in the O’Leary barn, but that the dirty work was done by a neighbor named “Peg Leg’’ Sullivan. (The name Sulli van has to be included for the sake of our “Irish’’ professor.) The story' goes that this fel low sneaked into the barn for a nap, and while lighting his pipe, he also ignited the pile of hay in which he was relaxing. Once the fire started, there was no human force which could check it. The summer of 1871 had been extremely dry, and strong winds fanned the fire as it eagerly devoured the wood en buildings. The October 10, 1871 edition of “The New York Herald’’ describes the fire in this way: (Note the progression of the narra tive, as well as the descriptive literary style.) The feeling of security was doomed to be of short duration, for on Sunday night the in satiate monster again spread his lurid wings, and tin’s time with the portent of doom in the murky breath from his fiery nostrils. (A smaller fire broke out and was brought un der control the night before.) The south west wind was blowing a gale, and the fire,

The scene of terror which such a disaster brought about can hardly be described. Thou sands of people ran about in a state of panic with no place to go. Many sought refuge on the shore and even in the waters of Lake Mich igan. From this watery vantage point these refugees could watch the sum total of their earthly possessions lit up against the evening sky. Even more tragic was that many family members were left behind to die a sure and certain death in the flaming inferno.

In a sense the Great Fire was a live, unrehearsed melodrama. It had its own large cast of heroes and villains. Robbery, extortion, and looting became common which only added to the scene of wild madness. In this emergency, the head of the Pinkerton police issued the fol lowing handbill: Any person stealing or seeking to steal any of the property in my charge or attempting to break open the Safes, as the men cannot make arrests at the present time they shall Kill the Persons by my orders, no Mercy Shall be shown them, but Death shall be their fate. It was not until late Monday that the great foe gave any indication of yielding to its human persecutors. On the south side gunpowder was used to destroy the buildings in the fire’s path before they would be burned. In the north the divine hand intervened by sending a rain to check the fire as it had already extended al most to the prairie. The great foe was now under control, but it left deep scars upon Chi cago and her people. During its 27-hour reign of terror, it charred nearly 2000 acres and was responsible for the deaths of some 300 inhabi tants. In retrospect, the G:v . Chicago Fire was in some ways a blessing. The heart of the city was now free from the '-.ooden frame build ings which were so vulnerable to fire. In a large section all new buildings were to be er ected with steel and stone, thus making them fire resistant. Although Chicago may have felt that she was suffering all alone, all of America was responsive to her cries for help. Relief in the form of food, clothing, emergency shelter, and money poured into Chicago from all parts of the country. For example, the city of Buffa lo, New York sent $100,000 in cash, 10,000 loaves of bread, and ordered its largest bakery to bake bread day and night for Chicago until further notice. Chicago was being blessed in an unusual way. Rising out of charred ruins, this city now had the chance to start afresh and to grow rap idly to become the nation’s second largest. Per haps the fire had more of a unifying effect on the residents of Chicago than any other single event. During the blaze, they helped each other for immediate survival, and during the rebulding period, they were united in a com mon goal toward a brighter future, hoping that they would never again witness such a calamlty.

SPCETS FOOTBALL With % of the ’71 season already completed, the Trojans find themselves bogged down with an 0-6 record. By no means does the negalive record signal that there haven’t been moments of brilliance or good execution, but the team has been struck time and again with mental and physical breakdowns, causing numcrous turnovers and too many long gainers for the other side. Prospects for victory against the Trojans' last two opponents, Lakeland and Concordia (111 ), appear good if we can only play a full game of solid fundamental ball. Coupled with a lot of hustle and desire, our 1971 homecoming could very well be a happy one.

MILTON 38, NWC 14 The first Gateway conference game of the season, played against the Milton Wildcats at home on October 2nd, was another disaster for the young Trojans. Our visitors scored an easy 38'14 triumph in the 87° heat, and the way Milton’s Rodney Drew ran made it even faster. Drew, a freshman back from Milwau' kee Riverside, covered the length of the turf twice on kickoff returns of 87 and 90 yards. Once he hit the hole there was no stopping him until he hit the end zone. Two short TD runs by QB Joe Grafenauer and an 81 yd. pass play by Dave Paetzold helped to seal the coffin shut. The Trojans’ Don Thompson scored in the third quarter right after a 55 yd run by Mark Toepel had carried to the five yard line. QB Steve Ehlke legged in the second score from 2 yards out with about one minute remaining, but Drew’s all-the-way return of the ensuing kickoff finished ’er up. For the Wildcats it was their first win in ten games, and it was loss #3 of the season for our home favorites.

niewski, and Krejci, intersting backgrounds all, the Eagles did little to ruin their image as a top team in Illinois, increasing their record to 4-1. However, it wasn’t all that easy as the Trojan ‘D’ held the Popes to zip in a scoreless first quarter. Even so, 111. Benedictine wasn’t to be denied as it parlayed a 50 yd. punt return, a fumble recovery, and a 40 yd. pass to set up three scores in the short span of six minutes. Two of the TD's were scored by QB Jerry McMahon. The Trojans didn't give up as they scored twice before the half. The score came when \A1' Toepel gathered in a 23 yd. pass from Ehlke after Steve's passes had kept a 75 yd. drive alive. Seconds after this score, Fresh' man Phil Hoyer picked off an errant pass and Ehlke took it from there and scored on a yard keeper before the horn, making the count 21-14 with two quarters to go. Encouraging, indeed!

CONCORDIA (Mil.) 25, NWC 14 The Trojans were the opponents again on October 16th for another Concordia College homecoming game, this time the Concordia re presentatives in Milwaukee. Playing at Hart Park in Wauwautosa, the Trojans frittered away any opportunity to come home victorious with breakdowns in offensive execution and pass defense. Two long passes coupled with another damaging kickoff return turned the tide in the Falcons’ favor. A long, arching 36 yd. pass play set up the Falcons’ first scoring threat, and the lead 7-0 up until the last three minutes of the half. A fumble recovery by Rick Zahn fueled a drive for the Trojans, and QB Steve Ehlke picked up the score on a 3 yd. option run. Swanson’s kick tied the score, but the Trojans came right back to score again, on another short plunge by Ehlke, and they went ahead 14-7. How ever, the Falcons’ Tim O’Brian raced 96 yds. with the ensuing kickoff, and the half ended 14-13. Concordia slipped ahead on a secondary breakdown, as the Falcon receiver Leo Falesnik was all alone in the end zone to gather in a 28 yd. payoff pitch. A three yard run by Dwayne Lueck in the final quarter was an end to the scoring, as the NWC passing attack could never get untracked, suffering two in terceptions in the last frame. This loss left the Trojans with an 0-5 record before facing pow erful Northland. Concordia NWC (Mil.)

The highlight of the overnight stop at Medford was

the addition of some 30-odd (yes, odd!) voices to the cheering section of Medford High at their Homecoming game. After an 'early-riser' breakfast the next morning, the last 100 miles of the trip were completed to the Northland campus. Although the Lumberjacks were obviously bigger, stronger, and swifter afoot than NWC, the Trojans scored first on a 17 yd. pass from Ehlke to Don Thompson. Swanson’s PAT made it 20, but the ’Jacks responded quickly and tied it up with five minutes left. Another Northland drive was deftly contained by the Trojan 'D’ seconds before the half, but Cliff Young managed to boot through a 23 yd. FG to give ’em a lead, 10-7, at the buzzer. The third quarter was scoreless, although NWC blew two good scoring opportunities, and the fifteen minutes of the final stanza were as explosive as any witnessed all season. The 'Jacks, lead by Rodney Warren’s 141 yds. in 23 carries, powerfully rammed over three scores in the quarter, two on passes by QB Mike Gor man, who tallied the other himself. Coupled with two PAT’s, the score was now 30-7, but the Trojans were’nt done for the day. On the first play from scrimmage afto the last score, Ehlke hit his favorite target, M-vk Toepel, on a 78 yd. scoring play to make 30-13. The pass for two points was batted down. Minutes later we scored again on a QB sneak by Ehlke, and the conversion pass from Sv inson to Dave Kriehn settled the score at 30 ?. 1 with only sconds left in the game. Despite the defeat, there were bright spots in the Trojans’ performance. For once there was good kick coverage, the turnover count was low, and the passing attack seemed to blossom effectively on occasion. An upset Homecoming victory over the powerful Muskies of Lakeland, riding high and mighty on an IS game confer ence victory skein, could be had if the Trojans could “put it all together,” as the saying goes.

CROSS COUNTRY For all those frestling and basketball aspir ants who didn't go out for the football squad, the NWC athletic staff had a wonderful sur prise for them: the chance of running cross country! Under the able guidance of Tutor Ross, the keeper of the keys from West Hall, the enterprising members of the squad were daily put through their paces. And on some of those hot and humid days, you can bet some of them would have rather been in the dorm watching Star Trek! The fastest members of the team, or rather the ones who usually had enough to finish, were Paul Scharrer and Barney Lehmann, both mem bers of Coach Pieper's wrc uling squad. Other more notable additions to th -quad were Norm Seeger(‘and he was lovin' i:!'), Glen Thomp son, and Marc Manthey. i i rtunately, every meet they chose to partkinare in always ac corded them last place, or \ c ■ y close to it.

Bach: Biggs or Fox? TPhe theatre was filled to capacity, and then J- some, with college and high school youth — the better share of them devoted fans of hard rock. It was a memorable night in the history of musical performances at the famed Fillmore East. The natural quetsion you would ask is: Was it Led Zepplin, Grand Funk, Iron Butter fly, etc.? The correct answer is, in actuality, hardy in keeping with the nature and reputa tion of the performances at Bill Graham’s Fill more East. (Note that there is no similarity between the Bill Graham mentioned and the noted evangelist Billy Graham.) On the first day of December, 1970, the famed American Concert Organist Virgil Fox brought the Rodgers Touring Organ to that very theatre. As Fox performed “mad digital feats," a wide-screen aurora, produced by Joe’s Lights, blazed behind him. The audience, gen uinely moved, rose in spontaneous ovation. It was, to be sure, an extravaganza unparalleled in the history of music. It was the day Virgil Fox introduced Bach to the Fillmore East, and in turn, to a crowd of people who had never be fore attended an organ concert. The reception of Fox’s performance was tremendous. Every one was totally “tuned in" to that master Bach.

been occupying a good share of his time record' ing various highly successful albums for the Columbia label. The full name of the English' born boy in March of 1906, is Edward George Power Biggs — more commonly know as E. Power Biggs. In a somewhat brief review, I shall attempt to present certain aspects of these two promin' ent keyboard artists — their style, interpreta tion and, in general terms, their musicianship. I listened to the album Fox recorded live at the Fillmore; there are certain striking thoughts that crossed my mind. If we keep

The fame and artistry of Virgil Fox defin itely can not be disputed. However, there is a virtuoso in his field who has in all probability superceded the renown and popularity of Fox.

VIRGIL FOX: At Riverside’s 143 Rank Organ

On the 29th of March, 1906, a baby boy was born at Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, England. Little did his proud parents visualize the extent of the pride they would have one day in that little infant, for the praise and fame he would obtain as a concert organist and authoritarian in the musical field. He received his education at Hurstpierpoint College, Sussex, and the Roy al Academy of Music in London. In 1938, af ter completing numerous recitals on historical organs of England, he moved to the U.S. and became a naturalized citizen. His great success was achieved by solos with prominent orches tras such as the Boston Symphony, and the Chicago and Cincinnati orchestras. One of his most notable achievements was that of a his torical series presenting Bach’s complete organ works, first at the Germanic Museum of Har vard University and afterward at Columbia University, New York. More recently he has

in mind the nature of location and audience, then, and only then, are we able to begin an analysis of the performance. The program, consisting entirely of Bach, was designed specifically for those who had had little or no contact with classical organ. I think it would be fair to assume that Fox ad justed his usual presentation of Bach to fit the mood of this particular audience. There is sub stantial evidence of this fact. Notably in the Prelude And Fugue in D Major, he omits a substantial section of the Prelude. The part deleted is somewhat of an involved choral, con trastingly subdued compared to the trumpet ing bravura of the opening measures. I would suspect that it was omitted in order to tie to gether the entire piece a bit more, and keep it moving right along. It is questionable whether E. Power Biggs would have made this same 130

choice if he had been performing it on such an occasion. But then it is highly doubtful that Biggs would even perform for such a situation. Equally doubtful would be the reception that Biggs would receive from that type of audience. But what of the matter of deleting part of a work? Is it actually necessary for a work to be performed in its entirety in order for the listener to appreciate it? I think this is the whole point of the matter in this instance. Vir gil Fox wished to present Bach to his young recipients in a style which would create a last ing impression on them, and the fullest appre ciation of Bach that was possible. Succeed he did. Granted, it does not seem ethical, especial ly to an authoritivc person such as Biggs. How ever, I just don't believe that Fox should be criticized for it. In 1952 an organist popularity poll was con ducted on a national basis by the literary publi cation Choral & Organ Guide. The big ten of the American organ world were named. Vir gil Fox appeared as number one on that list, and E. Power Biggs came in second. This very well could have been due to a general trend in the popularity of Roman b music. Fox, then in his prime, was 40 years < >i; age. He was born in Princeton, Illinois in 1912 His later studies were under the auspices ; iic famous Chicago organist Middleschulte. T •' young Fox was the first winner of the N. : >nal Federation of Music Clubs' organ coni.«■*... which awarded him a year's study in Pan" under Dupre. He is presently Organist at i!>_ Riverside Church, New York City I believe I may say, with little dispute, that E. Power Biggs has overtaken Fox and moved into that number one spot of popularity today. Perhaps this is a result of his many re cordings with Columbia and thus he has been projected into the public light and popularity. Whatever it may be, I have the highest respect and admiration for his musicianship. He has, in almost all instances, attempted to present the music of the past to the world of today, as close as possible to the original intentions of each composer. Not only is he a virtuoso of the organ, but he more than holds his own on the harpsicord. Notably on one album he has produced, Biggs arranged several numbers which were original ly intended for either piano or orchestra. The effect of these arrangements played on the ped al harpsicord (an instrument with all the pos sibilities of an organ console and pedalboard) is indeed astounding. The album's title, Holi-

day for Harpsicord, is truly a fitting one! But not only is Biggs a proponent of his torical music. Several contemporary composers

■ .

E. POWER BIGGS: Columbia’s Favorite Son such as Sowerby, Piston, Hanson, and Porter, have written several works specifically for per formance by Biggs. E. Power Biggs is no doubt one of the most prominent authorities on the subject of the or gan and music composed for it. Although the organs of today present so many more possibil ities for the performer, Biggs contends that there is a definite rich quality about the older organs of history which has not since been equaled. I do not feel as though I am able to criticize Fox for being too liberal in his interpretation, or Biggs for his role of strict adherence to Bach’s style. That is, as close as one is able to assume just what that style was. For the big question here, is this: If Bach had had available to him all the resources of the present-day organ, would he have performed or written his works in a manner suited to today's instrument? It is, to be certain, a difficult question to answer. I seem to think that it boils down to a matter simply of personal preference. If you prefer a more liberal, modern rendition of Bach and other historical composers, Virgil Fox is your man. If your preference leans toward that of strictly Bach interpretation, then it’s E. Power Biggs. (If you have no preference, then it’s simple for you.) In any case, both men are highly talented artists, of the most superb in their field. Neith er should be too quickly spurned.

With the abundant late-November snow■ ■ fall, our thoughts are directed all the more anxiously toward Christmas and Christmas va cation. Even though we normally look for ward to Christmas more than any other season of the year, too often we sell it short of the rich spiritual and physical blessings which it has to offer. During his lifetime, Luther wit nessed the advent and passing of sixty-two Christmas seasons. His observance of the sea son and his comments about Christmas not on ly give us insight into his soft and tender character, but also by example tells us how this great festival of the church year can be more meaningful for us. As a youth Luther spent four Christmases while at the school in Magdeburg. These were not necessarily unhappy years, but the type of Christmas which he described in later life is completely strange to us. He recounts: At the season when the Church keeps the festi val of Christ’s birth, we scholars went through the hamlets from house to house, singing in quartette the familiar hymns about Jesus, the little child born at Bethlehem. As we were passing a farm-yard at the end of a village, a farmer came out, and in his coarse voice, of fered us food. His heart was kind, but we had become so familiar with the threats and cruel ty of die school, that we fled at the sound of harsh tones. But his repeated calls reassured us, and we returned and received his gifts. While we may certainly go caroling during the Christmas season, yet it is not a matter of livelihood to keep ourselves from starving. When the third week of December approaches, we are very ready and willing to get the car packed and to get on the highway as quickly as possible. There's some inner voice that always calls us home especially during the Christmas season. Our thoughts turn immediately to seeing the whole family once more, the gifts, Christmas dinner apd all the goodies, and an opportunity to spend a few relaxing hours at home for a change. While these are all wonderful blessings of our Creator, a little more appreciation on our part would certainly be in order, The privilege of going home to family and friends is too often taken for granted.

LUTHER 1520

When the Christmas of 150^ dawned up on Luther, there was no receptive heart in that lonely tormented body to be filled with Christ mas joy. He had taken the vows of an Augustinian monk, and he knew God only as an ang ry God who demanded perfect obedience from sinful mankind. Luther beat himself to nearunconsciousness and fasted almost to the point of starvation trying to appease this God whom he could not appease. How could he eelebratet the birthday of Him whom he could not love? The angels of the monastery sang only of death and terrifying judgment. Luther's life was full of dark doubts and fears as he confined himself within the four gray walls of the cloister, How can we ever praise God sufficiently for the Reformation which we just celebrated some weeks ago? Once again God has been revealed to us as a loving God who has given His only Son to die for us that we may never have to experience the torments of hell nor wrestle with the doubts of working out our own salvation. 132

: • i

When we think of Luther the Reformer, we think of a rugged, strong individual who was, not afraid to use strong language when speaking about the Pope or to the emperor. In this way we tend to overlook the tender and personal side of this man. The classic example of this is the letter which he wrote to his son, Hans in 1530 from Coburg. Luther was at Coburg at this time (during the Diet of Augs burg) because he was still regarded as an out law. It seemed at this time that the whole fu ture of his work was in question. It was a time of great tension. Yet in the midst of this, he takes time to write a letter to his four-yearold son depicting in a child’s language a beau tiful garden meant for all good boys with thoughts of Paradise obviously in mind He writes: Grace ancl peace in Christ, my dear little son. I am very glad to know that you learn your lessons well, and love to say your prayers . . . I know a beautiful garden, where there are a great many children in fine little coats, and they go under the trees -d gather beautiful apples and pears, clicn and plums: they sing, and run about, an-.* i as happy as they can be. Sometimes ill< ale about on nice bridles and silver little ponies, with go! saddles. asked the m hose garden it is. What little children a :.se? And he told me, “They are little clu' n who love to pray . I-Ic then showed and learn, and arc good me a beautiful mossy pi. < . in the middle of the garden, for them to hip about in, with a great many golden file*., and drums, and silver cross-bows . . . Now. my dear little son, love your lessons, and your prayers, and tell Philip and Jocelin to do so loo, that you may all come to the garden. May God bless you. Once Luther came to know Christ as the only Savior from sin, his thoughts were direct ed every day of the year to that heavenly Christmas, where no pain, trail, or headache would ever cause a tear to be shed. Luther was very weary of this world; he knew what it was like to experience no Christmas joy with no sunlight of salvation shining through. He also knew what it was like to spend a Christ mas within the close bounds of his dear family experiencing all the joys which a husband and father could ever hope for. But what is that compared to the angels’ song in heaven which will never cease? As the Savior comes, He also calls.

REITERATIONS ... from the Editor Seeming to be Wise, They Become as Modern Educators

T"aking the best things tradition has to offer ^ and combining those things with the best new ideas usually is the best policy in anything from forming new governments to designing paper clips. There are those who many times hang on the cliffs of the extremes, namely, that of throwing out everything that is old, or that of throwing out anything that is new. In doing so, these people frustrate themselves and what they are trying to accomplish. Whether it be as a young pastor bombasting the elderly menv bers of his congregation with a rock liturgy or as an elderly pastor informing his youthful par' ishioners to get their hair cut or risk damna tion, the dangers of gross and arbitrary rejec tion or adherence to the new or old are obvious. This point has become clear, to me at least, in regard to theories of education, especially on the elementary and high school levels. This whole discussion of education may seem rather abstract and irrelevant, but actually we arc quite a part of it and have been for quite some time, and we spend a lot of money on it besides. Traditionally, it is held that the typical student

: ?

1 !■

.> .!

is not generally capable of educating himself and most importantly, that he would rather not. For this reason education among those younger than college age was more a matter of force or, at best, of personal or social persuasion, I can easily remember detesting school. It was not so much the restricted environment of the place, but more so the simple fact that I had to do something I would rather have not done, name ly, exerting at least an ostentatious mental effort. Even looking at our situation on campus here, to consider plowing through 500 lines of Hero dotus a preferable pastime to watching King Kareem sky hooking over Willis Reed would be nothing less than side show material and the ultimate in buffoonery. I must admit that study ing does have its day in Wartburg Hall at giv en intervals, but the Old Adam does often 134

creep up and force many to put down those Hebrew vocs. It’s only natural, and any other attitude probably would be considered mentally unhealthy. Our system on this campus illustrates what I consider the workings of the old school as I mentioned them above. The faculty, since they are well aware of the study s’tuation in the dormitories and also the lack-of study situation there too at times, gear their teaching programs accordingly. Especially in rote memory courses like Greek and Hebrew, they utilize class check

recitation and quizzes to keep the students working on a day-to-day basi The fact that a good share of the faculty were students here also tends to lessen the possibility of overestim ating the enthusiasm on the part of the student for home study. If you want :« use the word “force" in describing the system. I guess you can go ahead; I do. However, in the final analy sis, the student finds that this persuasion of the ego in addition to the report card is indispensible in producing anything constructive. The system is also quite conducive to competi tion among students, conscious or otherwise; this also pushes the student ahead. I’m not put ting in a plug here for the system or the profs, although I think they’re ok guys even though they keep calling me Gary. The critics of the old system claim that the "memory-mill’’ technique of jamming facts in to the brain is not a functional and meaningful learning. They say it is an abstract, unusable system when it comes to reacting in a world of concrete objects and perpetual growth through experience. (Don’t get nauseated yet; there’s more where that jargon came from waiting in the wings four or five paragraphs down.) Not considering our system here a purely tradition al thing, since it incorporates a number of new methods, I am speaking more generally. The argument the oldsters use is that plain living

experience is useful in learning such things as shooting pool or changing tires on semis, but when one deals in abstractions, especially verbal, study and generalized memorization are necessary. I'm quite sure this is why the re* quired number of credit hours in earning a Ph. D. in pumping ethyl at Church St. ’76 is considerably fewer than procuring a Bachelor’s at Cal Tech. So much for the old system. In discussing what I call, and others too, the progressive or modern techniques in education, I must admit that I can only speak more in terms of it being a trend to which educators adhere in part or in total. In some instances, however, I can become more specific. As I said above, there are in reality many persons in the field of education today, espedaily in the public system and progressive private institutions, that base a great deal of their teaching methods on the premise that young people actually can and do like to spend their time spurring themselves on to the “inquiry called learning.” This is to say that the average American kid would rather read and take notes than fool around, watch TV and play football. Anyway, the general theory (I emphasize the word theory), was attribut > the “almighty sage of progressive education.' one John Dew ey. He is not to be confused v b Adm. George Dewey, the naval commander •. ho won at Man ila Bay, or Thomas Dewey ■ o lost to Harry Truman, or even Melvil Dev 1 who spent his life classifying library books i am not an ex pert on the theories or effect of John Dewey for the simple reason that the man’s ideas maketh my stomach to overturn. The novel nature of his ideas attracted attention from the start back in the 1 S70’s. The gist of his ideas sprang from his total elation over how “magnificently” the scientific approach had done such wonders with processes like lighting with electricity, cur ing malaria, and packing herring. Dewey, earn estly trying to be benevolent to mankind, sought to apply the scientific method to learning. In retrospect, we see that this was his primary error. Being a psychologist, he made elaborate theories as to why it would be best not to force a kid to learn by methods as crude as memori zation and retention. His idea was that it would be a far more practical learning if the student experienced real life phenomena and “since he is naturally motivated to resolve practical real life problems, he will himself seek and discover the meanings of things and ideas.” I construe from this that he considered learning more a matter of process and growth, whatever that means. 135

These ideas are evidently worthwhile as long as you find those particular students who are keyed out of their minds about studying. Although I said in the intro that we should compromise and take a little of the old and the new, I actually lean more to retaining the tried and true, but, in fact, there are very very many educators in our country who do take Dewey seriously. Through the efforts of many highly

JOHN DEWEY: Call Me Irresponsible . . . influential people under the spell of Dewey and because of the overall influence of the College of Education at Columbia University (Colum bia is to Dewey's philosophy as Shea Stadium is to the Mets), Dewey’s theories, though most often disguised with a lot of syrupy “isms,” are present in a great number of public and private school systems today. His influence var ies from system to system, usually being greater in larger more urban systems than in small town and rural areas. The influence also tends to be greater in systems that are in closer contact with universities and seems to be greater in the East and Midwest than it is in the South and West. Critics of Deweyism and his type of pro gressive teaching and learning techniques state that the whole idea of leading children into an academic environment which will motivate them into an ecstacy of enlightenment which thus induces them to teach themselves on a full-

: i.'

time basis is malarkey. They say that common sense dictates that this isn't the way the typical American kid operates. Dewey stated that young people, in a never-ending struggle to re solve practical frictions, to relieve tension, and to seek self expression, will be easily spurred on to learning in and of themselves as the final process. For kids with I.Q.s over 200, I could see where this might possibly work, but actual ly that type doesn't even need a school, let alone a teaching method. I can remember ele mentary school. The “practical frictions” were there. The “unresolved problems” and the “need for self-expression” were both there also, but when left on our own, instead of being spurred on to “the inquiry called learning,” it was our nature to be spurred on to raise %#!$. Critics cite other inconsistencies, contradictions, and other general cop-outs of the Dewey ideas. Although still buried in controversy, the sightreading system, introduced about 15 to 20 years ago, has proven itself in many authoritative minds to be far inferior to the traditional phon etic approach to reading. Although the sight system was not a direct throw-off from Deweyism, it was pushed by Deweyites and organized around his principles. The pass-fail system, the non-graded systems, and grade modular ap proaches are all products of the Dewey pro gressive mill. Much has been written in their favor on a college level, but a greater number of bad vibes have been felt on the primary and secondary levels. The chief criticism is that, even though these systems do help the special ly gifted students accelerate, they make non achievers out of the average and below-average learners. One-room school houses have been castigated and obliterated by the progressive leaders in education because of what was consi dered their “archaicly non-motivating aspects.” Recently, some education journals have been talking about how it has been shown to be bene ficial that students of different grades be put into the same room. Departmentalization on the elementary and junior high levels has been a big fad for the past five or ten years, with questionable results, considering the huge has sle it is to tty to cattle-drive the droves of young, boisterous and often rowdy teeny hop pers from room to room. Where teaching machines are still in limited acceptance, teach ing by television has outrightly bombed, no matter what the National Education Associ ation may try to tell the public. More often than not teachers find switching on the televi sion is a good way of goofing off. The seminar approach may work excellently on college and

postgraduate situations, but I have reason to believe it has limited potential in junior high school, or even high school. I, by happenstance, was in a public high school modern world his' tory course which utilized the seminar approach among 10th graders, once. The third day of school we got all our desks in a big round cir cle and our “progressive” teacher led off the discussion concerning the “religious mores of the priestly class among the natives on the is land of Bali.” The progressive discussion be came progressively ridiculous, since all but one or two of the students were in doubt as to whe ther Bali is something you dance or something you eat. There was much frustration and gnashing of teeth on the part of the teacher when she noticed that the class was totally un concerned and ignorant of the “religious mores of the priestly class among the natives living on the island of Bali.” Besides the many millions of other prob lems arising from the full subscription to Dew ey's principles, probably the greatest drawback to his ideas is that “progress/ ” modern meth ods of teaching have produced a tendency to over-permissiveness to the m.r inane attitudes of youthdom. There is a typic ' ituation where a parent, concerned with tin rsonality prob lems of her child, consults 1 acher and gets the reply, “we are working instill in your child a truly meaningful c) matic sense of acceptance,” when in reality i; teacher is too lazy to discipline the kid ft bludgeoning his classmates with a desk leg. /com a Christian viewpoint, the most devastating side effect of progressive education is that the role of man's intelligence and potentials of science as a re ligion have been blown out of proportion. Ac ademic theories are taken as gospel truth, while Gospel truth is rendered as of little conse quence. Without the fundamental backing of the Deweyites, the teaching and believing of evolution would not be nearly as prevalent in public schools as it is today. Especially in this light, it is important that we take a lot of the heavy jargon the education al establishment is throwing at us with a grain of salt. In technical fields especially, new meth ods of learning and teaching have been shown to be quite beneficial, but it is too bad that proven old methods are often thrown out and replaced by the untried fantasies of some so cial dreamer. Take from the old and from the new, but in this case, a bit more from the old. It's not nice to experiment with people's fu tures. R.EAV.

Hearing 1$ Not Belieuing: *74e Semantioi &J KgSiI MgSmc, 11 * he opening of mainland China has ressurA ectcd many questions concerning the total meaning of Maxism, Chinese or otherwise. U.S. diplomacy and the U.N. are finding that com' munication between the West and the Communist world is often bogged down in a chaos of misinterpretation. This problem is in fact a part of the Marxist ideology and is indeed used often by Communist diplomacy for their

own ends. The juggling of word meanings and plain false representation have for years aided the Soviet and other Mar governments in getting their way. way of rewritThe Marxist has his sr jveryone. You mg the dictionary and ba can't argue with a Marx -cause he wants Maxist believes the same things you want, in and strives for Peace. ith, Good, and Love, to name a few. Th;vat hypocrisy on tthe part of the Marxist nder his pseudo religion, Peace, Truth, G; :id Love are defined differently. Marxism has a heaven This heaven will be attained at the end of the class war. The class war is that struggle between capital and proletariat which Karl Marx discovered and preached. The class war is being fought to pro duce the Marxist heaven. Every trouble plagu ing mankind comes from human nature: war, murder, falsehood, thievery, selfishness, vice, hunger. Human nature is a mass of conditioned responses: for Paviov's work was adopted en masse by the Bolsheviki. Man is nothing but this pattern of conditioned responses. The economic system, which is presently capitalism, produces these conditioned responses, which are sinful human nature. Only by changing from capitalism to Marxism can these conditioned reflexes be changed and human nature be trans formed into Communist Man, a world-citizen similar in strength and virtue to the unfallen Adam. Only through victory in the class war can the economic system and human nature be changed. Only through this change in the sys137

tern and in human nature can paradise be es tablished, a paradise in which Marx believed as firmly as we believe in heaven. And this is where the dictionary comes in, for all moral values are defined in terms of this paradise. Marxists believe in Peace. Peace is defined as existing only in the paradise we have men tioned. Peace can exist only after world con quest for Marxism, just as peace in 1944 meant defeat of the Axis powers. Under no circum stances would a cessation of East-West hostil ities and the Cold War be termed Peace. Un der no circumstances would mutual cooperation be Peace. As long as one vestige of capitalism remains, there is no Peace. Peaceful tanks sub dued Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Peaceful arms conquered China and raped Tibet. In the name of Peace, tens of millions toil at forced labor behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains. In the name of Peace, so many civilians have been Peacefully exterminated — without trail — without guilt — without even knowing what they were charged with — that there is honest ly no way for us even to guess whether the number of murdered is closer to fifty or to one hundred millions. Similar to Peace is the word Truth. Truth is not the bourgeois truth of evidence and fact. Truth is proletarian and a servant of the prole tariat. Truth is what the Party calls it. This is not hypocrisy. They believe it sincerely. A well-disciplined Party member placed under ex amination by lie detector could get away with denying his Party membership as easily a John Birch, if the Party told him to. Because what the Party says is as true to them as the Gospel is to us. Similarly, the term Good refers to anything which advances Marxism. Stalin was a Good Marxist. In the paradise to come, his foibles and idosyncracies of being one of the greatest murderers and sadistic torturers of world his tory will be forgotten. His name will be bles sed. He advanced Marxism. He was a Good Marxist. Stalin acted in proletarian Love. By their great Love for mankind, Marxists act unsel fishly to destroy the evil system which has created a world order responsible for war, hun-

ger, disease, prostitution, and rebelliousness. By their Love they will create a world of peace, happiness, kindness, and the full dinner pail. In their great Love they are willing to make any sacrifice. They will sacrifice their own lives. They will sacrifice the life of any diseased ani mal of the old society such as you, esteemed reader, which stands in the way of man’s sal vation. Peace, Love, Truth . . . they’re all in the dictionary. Dialectical materialism is another long and complicated term. But basically, it is an ex planation of the fact that Marxists often seem to be doing exactly the opposite of what Marx ists should be doing. There often are abrupt reversals in the Party line. Before the HitlerStalin pact, Naziism was the great evil of the age, according to Red propaganda and agita tion; after the pact, Naziism received prefer ential treatment. After the German offensive against Russia, the former position was readopted. These abrupt reversals confuse many. When Russia temporarily incorporates capit alists business practices into her economy, wish ful thinkers believe that Communism is getting soft. This is emphatically not true. Commun ists move dialectically, three steps forward, two steps back. When a man drives a nail, he spends only half his time bringing the hammer down. He spends the other half bringing it back up. He does not bring it down hard and then keep pushing. He reverses his direction 180°. This reversal is necessary to progress. We should not be confused when we see a Marxist reversing his direction 180°. It is only temporary. Every action of his, warlike or peaceful, atheistic or religious, is directed to ward godless world conquest. These reversals are why so many political commentators contrast theoretical and practi cal Marxism. No such contrast exists. The on ly contrast is between present, transitional Marxism and the Utopia of final Marxism, at the end of the class war. Present, transitional Marxism uses dialectics. Final Marxism is the classless Utopian society predicted by Marx. It uses no dialectices and goes according to the book. Dialectical materialism is expected to produce this Utopia. It is therefore the reli gious faith of the Marxist. Let us examine one example of the dialectic in action. Karl Marx insisted on the disappearance of the family. The family is a bourgeois institu tion, corrupt, filthy, pestilential, and marked for destruction. Yet in Russia, because of dia lectical materialism, the family today is almost as strong as it was under the czars. How does

Brezhnev account for this without repudiating Marx? The answer is as simple as the driving of a nail. Periodically one makes 180° retreats. Thus the Russian government destroys the fam ily. For corrupt human nature produced the family. The family cannot be destroyed until human nature changes. Human nature is a mass of conditioned responses produced by the environment. The environment is capitalist. Capitalism must be destroyed, but it cannot be until the world is Communist. World Com munism requires world conquest. World con quest requires superhuman effort. Such effort will only proceed from a strong nation. A strong nation can come from nowhere but a strong, family-based society. Thus Marx de stroys the family by strengthening the family. Dialectically, the organism must grow to full virulence before its slaughter has a curative effect. Communism thus conquers the world through peace overtures, cooperation with the West, and allowing a degree of capitalism in side Russia. The fact that Communist China is in the process of becoming our “friend” leads one to believe that caution and prudence must be ex erted by our government in r handling of this situation. In this light, it is in -ortant that the individual citizenry should be*. • tie as informed as possible concerning the it, motives of our friends on the other side of th wall. Choosing the most responsible govern u v.t people to re present us could mean the do ere nee between being successful in this “Chin;-, diplomacy” or having it become one of our n;i! ion’s most cost ly diplomatic blunders. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s book Masters of Deceit brings out many of the rough angles of the Marxist diplo macy which must be looked out for, as does You Can Trust The Communists, by Dr. Fred Scwarz. In this field, a little learning is a good thing. Roger Kovaciny ’72

When lightning strikes, are you safe in an air plane? Because modern planes are almost all metal, reports the December SCIENCE DI GEST, lightning currents seldon penetrate them. But planes are struck about once in every 5,000 to 10,000 hours of flying time, causing pit or burn marks, puncture holes, fusing of electrical parts or ignition of the aircraft's fuel. Potential danger is reduced by avoiding flying through thunderstorms, and scientists are gain ing valuable information by flying specially equipped planes through storms to take photo graphs and collect data.

End of the Boxer Rebellion When enough foreign troops entered China, the outcome was swift. Peking was captured on August 14, 1900, the imperial court fled, foreign nationals were rescued, and Peking was sacked. The Boxers were dispersed by an in ternational police force from the United States, Japan, and a few European nations, who sent

smaller detachments. Peace terms for the un declared war were a tribute of 450 million gold taels and the heads of about thirty guilty offi cials. This was sort of a taels-l-wa'n, heads-you-lose proposition. Kovo '72

SPCKTS FOOTBALL LAKELAND 54, NWC 21 Burdened with an 0-6 seasonal record and a nine game losing streak, NWC’s Trojans took on the Muskies of Lakeland College on Oct 30th in the annual Homecoming game. Moose’s understudies came onto campus with seventeen consecutive conference wins, and the Black and Red did little to discourage that record. Not even the election of “Skinny” Rick Zahn and his beloved Nance as NWC's first king and queen could stop the powerful Muskies! Indeed, when you lose 54*21, there isn’t much stopping at all! The game opened merrily with the Musk* ies’ Radomski picking off an errant pass and returing it for the score. How ever, the fired up Trojans promptly drove the length of the field to tie her up on an Ehlkc . ■ Hoyer touch down pass. After our adversary had clawed to a 21-7 advantage, Mark Toepc< l it paydirt on a 67-yd. scoring pass from El hie. Lakeland countered with two more see to put the game out of reach by the half 4-14. As the game wound its \va down to the final buzzer in the second half, h highlight of the game occurred when Musk:, mentor John Thome protected “extra” vehemently a call perpetrated against his troops. Not even two consecutive unsportsman-like penalities could assuage his anger, and the men with the whist les asked him to leave the field. Indeed, that fosttered the loudest roar of the long afternoon Lakeland NWC 21 First Downs 11 205 Yards Rushing 12 235 Yards Passing 181 440 Total Yards 193 Passing 9-28-4 11-22-1 Fumbles 3 3 Lakeland 14 20 20 0 - 54 7 7 7 0 - 21 NWC L Radomski, 47, run with intercepted pass (Distin, kick).

Playing their third Concordia op ponent of the long season, the Cougars from River Forest, 111., the Black and Red went down in defeat 34-28 to end the winless season with an 0-8 mark. Mental breakdowns and stupid miscucs characterized NWC’s play the entire first half, and the team righted itself too late in the second half to pull it out. This is evi denced by the fact that the Cougars managed only twenty yards and a single first down in the final 30 minutes, a tribute, indeed, to the defense.

So, it didn’t hold up, and it was a shame, because Beck was all set to do the “Roadrunner shuffle" in the end zone. Seniors Fager, Zahn, Ristow, Learman, A. Schwartz and Swanson thus all ended their car eers on a losing note, but it still was worth the effort for those four years. They won a few and lost a lot, but now they’ve got lotsa' time to dream how it might have gone back then if we’d only . . .

There isn’t too much to say when a team winds up with an 0-8 record, but the Trojans still exhibited the never-give-up attitude, which has always been a strong characteristic of all NWC squads. And despite ending up on the bottom of the heap, Junior Randy Rathje and Soph Mark Toepel were named to the all-con ference team, with Wally Street and Dan Garbow being accorded honorable mention honors. Rathje, in his first season of varsity ball at line backer, was the captain of the defense, and he also led the team in tackles with 69. Toepel was the team’s leading receiver, hauling in 29 passes, good for a 17.1 avg. per catch and three TD’s. 146

BASKETBA1 No sooner are all the pads .cl helmets put away, than the basketballs arc . isted off and pumped up, and another seasoi 1 sport is underway. And there seems to be added enthusiasm this season with the completion of the new gym and the opportunity of playing on a new, full-size NBA court. In response to Coach Lloyd Thompson's call to arms, aboutt 20 hardcourt hopefuls came out for the '71-'72 season. All those who weren't making the transition from the con tact sport with pads to the contact sport with out pads had been fortunate to participate in NWC’s first cross country team, and this ‘awarding’ experience enabled them to get their legs and wind in shape for the long season ahead. And if all the running Coach has them doing in practice doesn't get ’em in shape, I'm sure nothing will! Personnel The Trojans have an able group of six lettermen and some good new faces ready to meet the challenge of the season. Prime re-

turnees include seniors Glen Thompson and Norm Seeger; juniors Roger Kuerth, Beck Goldbeck, and Dave Kriehn; and soph Mark Tocpel. Coach Thompson is expecting big things out of Glen, who was all-conference his first two seasons, but was hampered by a foot ball injury last season. When he’s on target, he's as good as anybody in the conference. Reliable and steady passing Norm Seeger re turns to his guard position, and he should quarterback the Black and Red’s offense. Old man Goldbeck returns to the center spot, and he hopes to put his “himmel hook” to good use. Hustling forward Rog Kuerth and dead-eye Dave Kriehn showed a lot of ability and desire last season, and Coach Thompson figures both will continue improving this season. If he stays healthy all season, flashy Mark Toepel should help to make Trojan fans forget the loss of all conference guard Rog Schultz. His opportun istic, hustling all-around play will help overall team speed. Coach also is counting a lot upon the emergence of Don Sutton, Don Thompson, Mark Lindner, and freshman Pete Schumacher. All have shown much promise, and each one still has a good chance of cornering a starting berth.

Outlook Coach Thompson says that he intends to play a fast-breaking type of offense. He hopes to have the Black and Red do a lot of running, and to do this they need some healthy boardwork, especially Beck, Kuerth, and Glen. Coach has installed some few plays and offensive pat terns designed to free Glen, Kuerth, and the guards for the ‘good percentage shots.’ How ever, the key to the whole season in Coach’s eyes is the defense. “In order for us to win some games, our defense has to score some points,” remarks Coach. By this, he means he wants the team to play a pressure defense, basi cally man-to-man, that goes after the ball and sets up easy fast breaks with timely steals.

In both our cases our pride did not come from the accomplishment itself, but from the ongoing effort we put into it, from the measure of our personalities we had invested. Ask yourself if this isn't true. Weren't you just as proud of yourself the first time you played a scale properly, or caught a forward pass, as you are today with vastly expanded abilities? Don’t you take as much honest pride today in your ability to produce a good paper as you will take thirty years from now when you are writing books? Think about it and make some resolutions. Resolve to be content with what you have and don’t wish for more. Resolve not to envy others. Resolve to develop every talent you have to the limit — whatever your hand finds to do, do that with your might. Most impor tant, remember to thank the Lord for all the gifts He has given you, using them for the glory of God and the edification of man. Ap ply yourself diligently, be a faithful servant, and increase each talent tenfold.

Watch Joe go to breakfast in the morning (he comes equipped with official NWC rubber pancakes), watch him sleep through all of his lecture courses (he is also equipped with a cot and pillow for classroom use), watch him as he goes to dinner (he comes complete with plas tic replicas of that famous fish and liver), and see him break bottles and smash furniture as he watches the football games in the T.V. room.

rived, they found that they still had nothing staring them in the face. But they made the best of it and tried to create some of their own excitement. Chuck Learmann decided to bor row someone's car and park it illegally to see what kind of fine he’d get. He found out — a $15 tow charge. Rathje, Garbow, and Tiefel jumped on the civil rights bandwagon and ob served some sort of integrated exhibition and stood in line to express their appreciation to those involved. Seelow would have tried to find some excitement with the ladies, but the trouble he had with his car “put a cramp in his style." It might be well to note that the Forum “quarto-monthly" could possibly be put on be fore Christmas.

A SUBVERSIVE HOUSEHOLD Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stays awa\e in vain. It is vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for He gives to his beloved, sleep. Lo, sons are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb, a reward. Li\e arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them! He shall not be put to shame when he spea\s with his enemies in the gate. (Ps. 127 :RSV) 4?

word “house” represents two concepts in English: 1) the concrete, a building, and 2) the abstract, a household, or those un der the roof of a building; likewise, the He brew language, presents this same view in the above passages. The word, beith (house) comes from the same root as do the words ben (son), and banah (to build). Therefore, any systems, as for example, government and industry, which are “built up through the growing numbers of its sons," fit into this catagory. They are house holds. The Christian in the household of faith sees the construction of many buildings spring ing up aruond him in his lifetime and has to decide for himself if it would be safe to “move quarters” or even as much as to venture a visit to that luxurious tenement going up across the street. The purpose of this paper will be to ex pose that luxurious tenement — the abortion industry. It is indeed a household with many servants. It has great impetus to build, yet the workmanship is in vain because the LORD’S Blueprint is replaced by man’s masterplan of salvation and existentialism. It has no heritage, no blessings, no rest. It terminates in itself. Its arrows are broken and it stands ashamed and conquered before its enemies. Its community or city has the best watchmen that money could buy, yet under their very eyes creeps destruction. They are not watching with the LORD, but rather for the LORD. They be come a subversive household. he

Abortion is a very prosperous business in the United States and elsewhere in the world to date. There are two types of services being offered: 1) information and 2) counseling to gether with the abortion itself. The two form a very important interdependence upon each other, thus making it a systematic and efficient organization. Mrs. Lovelace, co-founder of

Abortion Information Services of Washington, D.C., states that “the female needs some assistence from the tyranny and callousness of men and their laws. It’s her choice to decide what she wants to do with her body. If she wants to terminate a pregnancy for health reasons, she must be able to get that service at request.” So for a small fee of $50 one may obtain hotel reservations, local transportation schedules, and reference to a doctor or an .! r rtion facility in the district from a panel of 30 doctors. Pelvic examinations and pregnancy ; :sts can be had for the asking. And for th; -other who de cides to keep her baby, an r . 'tional free ser vice, reference to an unwed mother’s home and/or adoption agency. Th-V is also the first service, including com plete i •..: o r m a t i o n for men who want vasectomy operations. Women's Abortion Project, a consumer group (so they call themselves) offers help for $100, thereby promising doctors affiliated with them in the New York area a large number of abortions. Zero Population Growth, Inc., has computer ized abortion service which offers 500 hospitals and 300 doctors at the push of a button. Should you wish to stay in the comforts of your home, you have the choice of either calling by tele phone or writing to them and then, within the next few days you’ll receive a “quickie” list of 8 to 10 doctors and clinics near your home, eligibility requirements and, of course, infor mation on fees. Mitchell, a big name in De troit, advertises his “firm” on billboards, and even has hired a plane to tow a huge airborne sign over Miami Beach. (He had plans for airborne abortions to be performed in a circl ing jetliner as sort of a novelty, but doctors didn't like the idea!)

evenings get in on the $175 special. Planned Parenthood World Population, planning to open a clinic this summer with the initial fee of $80 for a “simple abortion,” works through 189 organizations in 41 states and in Washing ton, D.C. Clergy Consultation Service in Abor tion of New York is one of the few to include counseling services also. Its originator, Rev. H. R. Moody (1967), described by Christian 7\[ews as being “an outspoken advocate of the ‘new morality’ who rejects the Christian faith” has managed to expand to 1200 clergy in 31 states. In two years’ time his ideas have been copied by more than 100 community or state groups in major metropolitan areas. These ideas include informing women of “liberal states” of what local to fly to in England and, recently, of a group abortion flight to London for SI250, all expenses paid. And these are only a few nerves of a vast network!

Problems have arisen in conjunction with these services, and people (customers, if you will) have started to complain. Prices, in some cases, are actually higher than quoted. One woman found this out the hard ay. She found herself to be short $100 upon , -ving in New York. She immediately proc . .1 to give two pints of blood for money unti; was too weak to walk, spent two nights in r . k begging for food and money, and had he - band solicit a homosexual for the last pay/:-.' »t to get the abortion. Why? She had a d chance for a job promotion in the next ■: :th and didn’t want the other office girls to . . it while she was away “having a kid.” So - services think of their customers as numbers and “subconstract” them to other information centers. One woman had a “mistaken hysterectomy” per formed on her because of a “mix-up.” In an other instance “abortion” was given to those who weren’t even pregnant! Profiteering of these places hasn't been brought under control because each of them operates with its own system and the Health Department's supervi sion is lacking.

The laws, especially of California and New York, are among the most liberal of the nation, requiring no residency at all for the privilege of abortion. As is the case with all legal docu ments, it becomes a matter of semantics and the real issue at hand becomes secondray. In the words of a New York obstetrician, “This bill would put a cancerous growth in the heart of a responsible profession; this bill would be a frankenstein; this bill would destroy all those honored things we revere, and end in the de- ) 157

struction of ourselves both morally and physi cally. It is the most permissive abortion law ever proposed for the state of New York, or for the U.S., or for the world. It totally ig nores the safety of the mother. Even stupid people know that life begins at the union of sperm and egg.” He here is referring to the whole business of abortions and especially to that phrase of the law, . . , legal up to the 24th week of pregnancy.” A poll was taken among doctors in the New York area, and all but a few agreed on the fact that abortion shouldn't take place any later than the 20th week of pregnancy. The reason? Some fetuses were “born alive” and had to be killed outside of the mother! One doctor gave up his license after having to perform such an abortion. Again, here can be seen the weakness of semantics. If limited to the 20th week, why not totally limited?! Francis McSpcden realized this deceit when she wrote to a doctor, saying, “I oppose all abortions as being nothing less than murder , . . incidentally, when I was born in 1945 at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Cen ter in New York, it was at the end of the 24th week, or 6th month, of my mother's pregnan-

The hub of these operations is fast becom ing New York City. Dr. Bernard Nathanson, well-known abortionist, used : -it of poor logic and questionable “reasoning” when he stated an interview: “The word abortion still has a seriously soild, stained meaning. People talk about New York becoming the abortion capital of the world as if that would be a terrible thing. But substitute ‘heart transplant' — make New York the heart-transplant capitol of the world and see how their expressions change. Well, I don’t think there should be a difference. I'd be proud if New York were humane enough and had enough compassion to become the abor tion capitol of the world, and I think we have to do everything in our power to make it pos sible.” He also is among the crowd that joking ly describe themselves as being “specialists in delayed menstruation.” You have to wonder what makes men(?) like these tick, those who “build, but labor in vain, who watch, but are awake in vain.” Those in the professional abor tion field (different from the “back alley meth od” on the surface only) estimate a potential national demand for abortions to be 2 million annually! Sad to say, this figure is correct (cf New Yor\ Times Magazine, June 28, 1970)! Ever since this announcement there has been a business boom. Insurance companies have got ten their greedy hands on the monetary gains

26:24, “It woud have been better for that man if he had not been born.” If only they knew what this passage had in mind in reference to their own lives!

also. Two examples of this are the Kaiser plan, which is a major prepaid group health insurance, soon hoping to offer abortion coverage for as little as $40, and Medicaid, “free coverage for those on welfare and an inspector convene iently present at the hospital to greet you as you arrive.” Hospitals have become specialized: separate obstetrical and gynecological units to prevent “dirty looks,” medical personnel screen* ing to insure their sympathy for abortion pa tients, and movies and lunches to lighten the at mosphere. The best equipped so far in New York is Kings County Hospital, which has a walk-in clinic. Since July 1 (when the liberal abortion law was passed) there have been 16200 abortions performed in that hospital; in New York City alone, 100000 legal abortions since July 1, with an estimated 50% of that figure out-of-staters.

In hopes of removing “old attitudes of ‘this obscene business’” abortion is now being clas sified under the title of “extreme birth control,” with Dr. E. Rothchild, director of Health and Hispitals Corporation advocating “A safe abortifacient from the corner drugstore.” France is clamoring for ‘free abortions!” Where will it stop? Will it stop? I wonder what the pro-abortionists would do if God were to send a “famine of children” to our lands — “give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts?” (Hosea 9:14) If God were to foil their plans for “childbirth at the ‘right time in life’”? We of the household of faith can see the destiny of such a subversive house hold. Now as the time of Christmas draws near, the birth of the BABY Jesus, as we watch and listen to the enthusiastic (literally “God in /them/”) singing of children telling the story of Jesus in Christmas programs, as we are united with the saints, militant and triumph ant, every Sunday in church, we are constrain ed by love of Christ to remain in this household of faith; a “building” which is sound, built by effective workers who find their rest in the LORD and not in themselves; a happy freedom from care; a heritage of the LORD; the re ward of the household — not an incumbrance, but an inheritance; a blessing in later years; a mass of love producing a multitude of joys; a triumph in the seed! Life processes, life de velopmental stages, or life itself have one thing in common: they are the LORD’s. They are temples sanctioned for the glory of God and nothing less than that! Praise the LORD for the right of children which He has given us — the perpetually of the household of faith!

The question comes up: is this really a med ical issue as Nathanson just intimated it to be by equating abortion (death) with heart trans plants (life)? Isn’t this a contradiction of the Hippocratic Oath of Medicine, which has as its goal the preservation of life? Christian J\[ews stated it another way: “Indeed one must recog nize that the performance of legally induced abortion upon healthy women j not the practise of medice at all, but rather r.other example of the violence of our time . ’ use of one more technological skill to desin:;,* human life.” Again, Dr. Bolter, emiment member of APA approaches the question of its : lidity. “Since pregnancy is seldom a serious threat to the life of the mother in the face of modern medical management it must follow that many of the recommendations for therapeutic abortion are on other than strictly medical grounds. It must follow, also, that these cases fall into the cloudy area of psychiatric indications for interpreta tion of pregnancy, and are, at best, of some what dubious legality,” Some abortions feel squeemish about the whole matter, yet like their “ . . . God-like role and like to play it.” One abortionist at Bellevue Hospital in New York states, “Well, 1 don’t like doing abortions, fp I might as well get something out of it.” That something” is his practise of attaching an elec trocardiogram monitor to the mother and watching the heart beat of the fetus slowly die. This is neither medical nor Christian, God fearing practise! It is a demoralized barbarianism, a return to Baal worship, the sacrifice of children to a pagan god - SELFISHNESS! And theologians support this too! They call it an evangelical ethic” and also use Scrip ture for their purpose when they statte Matt.

PUBLIC ENEMY No. 1

A heat wave had hit the nation. Temper* atures rose into the high nineties and hundreds. It was the kind of weather that made watching an evening movie in a cool theater very enjoyable. At least it was enjoyable for the man whom Melvin H. Purvis, Chicago agent for the Department of Justice, was look ing for, along with the rest of the country. Information reached Purvis on the evening of July 22 that one of the nation's most notor ious and most sought-after gang leaders would be attending the Biograph Theater later that evening. Purvis quickly selected his best men and armed them with pistols. Shotguns and machine guns were not issued for fear of a passerby being injured. Then the federal agents surrounded the theater and waited. Shortly before 9 p.m. the subject of all this attention was seen buying a ticket. Purvis him self only caught a glimpse of the back of the man; however, he immediately recognized him because of his intensive study of photographs of the man. The fifteen agents moved in closer to the theater and waited the longest two hours and four minutes that they had ever endured. Purvis later said concerning the stake-out, “A cat couldn't have gotten through.” The gang leader walked out of the theater after the movie and passed Purvis’ car without noticing him. Purvis then gave the signal and the agents closed in. The man knew what was coming and started to run up an alley lined with agents. He gave a hunted look as he reached into his pocket and started to raise his automatic revolver. That was it. The agents’ guns roared and Melvin Purvis had gotten his man. Newspaper headlines would scream the news across the country the next morning. Perhaps you would like to know a little more about this man. He was born in Indiana thirty-two years before his death in a Chicago alley. After being raised on a farm, he, ac cording to his own words, “fell into bad com pany.” A short life of crime and violence then ensued. After having been in and out of jails and prisons on his own, he engineered the prison breaks of John Hamilton, Harry Pierpont, Rus162

JOHNNY X? . Y: He Can’t Be All Bad sell Clark, and John Maklcy from the Michigan City State Prison and then became their gang leader. His gang was reputed to have obtained more than $200,000 in a dozen or more middle western bank robberies. At least three police men were left dead in the trail of blood that the gang created. It was July 22, 1934, when the law finally caught up for the last time to the man who had earned the title “America’s Public Enemy No. 1”. His name was John Dillinger and even now, thirty-eight years later, that name still lingers as a reminiscence of crime and blood shed. Perhaps you would be interested in the name of the movie Dillinger saw that night. It was “Manhattan Melodrama”, a gangster movie. P.R.B.

A nyone thinking of the Beach Boys as still playing only bubble-gum music, or as be ing as one writer described them in 1964, “America’s answer to the Beatles,” would prob ably be pleasantly surprised at their present sound. In their concert at Ulhlein Hall they show ed that they can play really good progressive music, with a little bit of everything thrown in. Today they show more interest in ecology and the state of the world in general than they did in the early 60’s. Still they could not get away without giving their fans a sampling of some of their old hits about surfing, cars, and young life. For this reason and because it was fitting, they started off the program with their biggest seller, “Good Vibrau m.” showing im mediately that they still had ‘ ability to rock the audience with a musi .dent that was hard to deny. Other oldie: -'■•at showed that old time drive included. "‘■irling,” which demonstrated the Beach B < miiity to work in horns effectively. To dh ome more of their versatility, they did f. of their classic foot-stompers, “Wouldn't i ■ Nice,” “Surfin' Safari,” “Fun, Fun Fun . . J “Sloop John B.” Sprinkled among these several songs from their most recent albv , "Surf’s Up,” namely, “Don’t Go Near The Water,” (a mus ical dissertation on the problems of water pollu tion), and “There's a Riot Going On,” which turned out to be one of the best shots of the evening, partly because they performed it with all the stops out on the sound system. “Disney Girls 1957” accented their soft dreamy side, while “Take A Load Off Your Feet,” brought out the Beach Boys' ability to put on a really enjoyable comic stage show.

formal program ended with “Heroes and Vil lains,” a composition that included some really tricky work on the Moog Synthesizer and vocal harmony that wouldn’t quit. But the show wasn’t over yet. They came bouncing back out and did “Do It Again” and “California Girls.” Yet for a second encore, they blasted the audi-

ence with “I Get Around” and finished it all off with their immortal “Help Me, Rhonda.” The great change in their outlook and mus ical maturity was accented by an increased use of falsetto to good effect, unusual but effective timing, and increased use of new or additional instruments which showed off their musical vir tuosity. Perhaps, in time, they will influence the coming generation as they did the early 60’s music. They are already starting by en couraging voter registration for young people. Still, the Beach Boys are not just a matter of seeing or hearing, but a matter of feeling their music. Roger Wahl ’72

The second half of the show brought out some of the more unusual facets of the group’s musical style, and their social ideas. “Looking at Tomorrow” emphasized a look at welfare in our country, but the surpriser of the evening was their rendition of Merl Haggard’s country western hit, “Okie From Muskogee,” which was done by the group in a heavy rocking style to which the audience reacted well. Then there uVaS :God °nly Knows,” probably one of the best “beautiful” songs of the middle 60's. Mike Love, the group’s vocalist-philosopher, recited his own poetic creation called “Nirvana.” The

T T can be interesting to try to imagine how intelligent God is. Since He is omniscient, He would know how many marshmallows it would take to fill the Grand Canyon or how many naughty words were spoken last year by the combined population of Mexico, Cuba, and Birmingham, Alabama. However, if God were inclined at one juncture to exhibit the human quality of pride, He would be proudest of one particular achievement which outshines every other work of His omniscience, a feat of compre hension that is unparaleled in the imagination of any human or computer, namely, a thorough knowledge of the goings-on in our federal gov ernment in Washington D.C. No human could ever or really would ever try to comprehend how many man-hours of ostentatious labor, how many miles of red tape, how many tons of memos and official documents, and most im portantly, how much of our money is consum ed by our elected officials. The average citizen is overawed at the mag nitude of the large corporations in our country. A.T.&T., the world's largest corporation in terms of assets, which amount to approximately $45 billion, is dwarfed by President Nixon's announcement that our government will be spending around $246 billion for the next twelve months, of which about $65 billion will have to be borrowed or stolen or something. So, in effect, our federal government loses in a year more than the greatest company is worth. General Motors would seem to be a gigantic organization by virtue of the fact that practically anywhere you look in North Amer ica you see at least a few of their products be ing towed away or up on blocks, but GM’s total sales for a whole year are less than 1/6 of the federal budget. $246 billion is a lot of money any way you look at it. It amounts to about $1,100 for every man, woman, and child in the country. Minus the inflation factors, Nixon’s budget could have paid for World War II and any other debts this country ac cumulated prior to it. The amount of money that will be spent this year by our federal gov-

ernment would be enough, in terms of assessed property values, to buy 15 Chicagoes, or 5 New York Cities and a Philadelphia with the Dako tas thrown in on the side. If the Beatles were still together and would do such an inane thing, (judging from other things they have done, I think it might not be out of the question), with this year’s federal budget one could hire them at their Shea Stadium price for a private concert which would run continuously for 62 years. With that kind of money one could pave every square inch of the state of Connecticutt or one could supply every living person on the face of the earth v i . a pizza like those sold in the NWC canteen - cry week for the duration of the year. Such. : the gross quant ity of wealth to be accu.v .dated by our boys in Washington this year. Merely trying to com of $246 billion is a tremendous task. Or. vast give our feltheir accomplishlows in D.C. great praise ment, that is, finding wayspending it. It's all a sort of national "C-. i to Spend Com mission.” Basically, thougi government tradi tion has established a gene. ..- pattern for using up the funds. As I stated in the intro, the best way to accomplish this was to make the government apparatus so huge and complex that no one would ever be able to discover how big the organization really was, let alone trace where all the cash is flowing. In the first place, George Washington start ed out with a personal debt of $64,000, two portfolios of semi-official papers and four cab inet members. It was inevitable, of course, that the government operation would grow in size, which it did, and that simply by the growth of the country and its needs, plus the force of technological advancement, the government on the federal level would have to expand. It did expand, but even up to the turn of the last century, the operations of the federal govern ment resembled Washington's administration, in format, more than it did Nixon’s. Woody Wilson gave the whole supergrowth syndrome a big shot in the arm, well intentioned I would

164

presume, though sometimes I have my doubts, by leading Congress to establish a variety of new government offices and commissions, most notably, the Federal Reserve System. F. D. Roosevelt, again motivated by what I would guess to be a desire to get the country out of the Recession, really opened the floodgates and with 13 years of the “New Deal” or the “Screw Deal” (depending on one’s point of view) he turned the national government into the monstrosity it is today. Let us not fail to mention that Truman's “Fair Deal”, Kennedy’s “New Frontier”, and LBJ's “Great Society” added increasingly to the size and complexity of it. Since it is a matter of opinion as to whether or not an expanded federal government is a good thing, I don’t think that I'm being one-sided in not emphasizing the Republicans’ role in this whole mess. All politicians tend to be quite alike, with some being a bit less crooked than others. Imagining how complex our federal govern ment is in Washington D.C takes a bit more than simply driving around the city and check ing out the various building . i taking a tour or two.

judicial branches. However, these two latter branches do have to provide for themselves to an extent. The legislative branch has to pay all the legislators, of course, plus their personal staffs and expenses (private secretaries and bus iness trips to Miami Beach), while they also have to keep up the Capitol building and its grounds and staffs, and the legislative office buildings (the Senate office building cost an estimated $70 million and took years to com plete). There are sideline responsibilities in addition to these, namely, the Library of Con gress, committee expenses, etc. In all, the leg islative branch burns up a relatively minimal S500 million a year. (.25% of the total federal funds) But this amount of cash could keep Northwestern running for over 600 years. Considering that there are, in all, 535 legisla tors, it costs just a bit less than a million dollars a year to send a man to D.C., pay his room

The mag nitude of the defense establishment is exempli fied by the massive Pentagon, where the pages and dispatch boys ride bicycles so as not to get flat feet from running up and down the endless miles of corridor. However, the Defense De partment has something over the other depart ments in that it can parade its men in blue and green, it can fly its airplanes, it can dock its ships for public inspection, and otherwise con cretely show the taxpayers what they are spend ing their money on.

The Judiciary costs us even less than the legislative branch, chewing up around $150 million. This pays the Supreme Court’s people, federal circuit courts, the upkeep and records of the aforementioned and other necessary ex penses.

Watching the “Pen tagon Papers" case transpire was probably worth 860 in judiciary funding.

The third and last section of our govern ment, the executive branch, accounts for the vast majority of what our government is and spends. The President is the chief executive and therefore he must execute the functioning of all other facets of government over and above the private domain of the legislature and judi ciary. Some citizens, especially younger citizens, wish that our chief executive himself be executed. I will pass over that because I do not know the man personally and that aspect is not the point of this article. I would imagine he’s ok, but I wouldn’t buy a used car from him. The President and his guys are actually the ones that say bye-bye to most of our money. His whole bag is making sure that everything the Congress passes becomes reality, no matter how unreal it is. The majority of his operation is, as any junior high civics student knows, divided into his 11 cabinet departments.

The Treasury Department includes a horde of bureaus, including Customs, Engraving and Printing, the Mint, Internal Revenue Service (the omnipresent thorn in the flesh), the U.S. Savings Bond Division, and Secret Service, be sides all the regular cats who just sit around and figure how far in debt we are. This group uses up an amazing $19 billion a year. I never realized they spend that much, and I haven't been able to find a rundown on where all that goes. I have noticed that Sec. Connally has been dressing a lot studlier lately. But $19 bil lion? You could custom tailor the whole Red Chinese army for that. The Justice Department saws up approxi mately a billion a year enforcing federal laws around the country. This department is made up of the Attorney General and his crew of hundreds, the Solicitor General and his assist ants, the Bureau of Prisons (branch offices lo cated around the country in such delightful places as Leavenworth, Kansas, and Fulton County, Georgia), Bureau of Narcotics and

166

Dangerous Drugs (fast becoming the hardest working group of all of them), Immigration and Naturalization, and last but not least the employer of Efrim Zimbalist Jr., the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Here again, if it were not for our spending in this department, ABC would not have had a single show in the Nielson top ten in 1966'1967. The Department of the Interior costs us somewhere around a billion a year, but recon' ciles itself in that we can go camping in some really outasight nice parks. The Interior's money also goes for things like fish and wildlife, geological survey, land management, Indian affairs, water power, and pollution control. Smokey the Bear is happy, so it's cool. Another of the President’s featherbedding outfits is the Agriculture Department. Don't

get me wrong, some of r i-cst friends are farmers, but the Ag boys Washington go through about seven time ranch bread as the last few departments ‘ vc just mention ed, or around $8 billion, . ajority of this chunk of cash goes for slab farm incomes. (Paying not to plant, etc bis makes sure that the prices are up the the time and that the majority of Amcr; n: husbandmen do not lose their shorts in a giwn year. This de partment also does some co-op work, forestry services, soil conservation and rural electrical development. But with that kind of cash lying around and with a little pull in the right places, those bib overalls and that John Deere look rather inviting.

The Department of Commerce is responsi ble for regulating all domestic and foreign bus iness transactions, of an interstate nature. With our billion a year, they dabble in science tech nology, economic development, maritime affairs, tourism, patents, weights and standards, and counting the people in our country every ten years. I’d hate to be the meepy character who has to file 207,000,000 reports concerning every Tom, Dick and Harry in the United States. The Department of Labor rolls out its $6 billion a year mostly for workman’s compen sation, while doing contract negotiations and other labor-related activities. The department has its hands full right now, owing to the warm and affectionate relations between AFL-

CIO President Meany and Mr. Nixon. About $8 billion a year is farmed out to the Department of Transportation. Secretary Volpe and company help finance airport facilities, docking terminals, the Penn Central, the St. Lawrence Seaway, and, most important of all, the interstate highway system. The pub' lie, I would think, digs this last thing about as much as anything our government is now do' ing or has done for quite a while. 1-94, to be sure, is a lot more beneficial to a lot more of us than sending Spiro over to Persia to say hi to everybody. No one really knew what to do with the Coast Guard, so the Department of Transportation was as good a group as any to take it over. George Romney’s Department of Housing and Urban Development still consumes less than 3% of the budget, but it’s a sure bet that this department will gain more and more fund ing as time goes on. The department includes research technology (“How to bust down Ten ements”), mortgage credit, model cities pro grams, and urban renewal. For that kind of money, though, they could just as well buy more than enough bulldozers, level the whole south side of Chicago (and any other city that needs it), spread grass seed over the cleared area, and make pasture land out of it. The former residents could be given some of the remaining money for building log cabins or lean-tos and a few grazing cattle from which they could gain their income, and buy their yellow and lavender Cadillacs. They would be better off, the place would smell nice for a change, and maybe even the suburbanites would come there for vacations. Last but not the least of the cabinet de partments is the Department of Health, Edu cation and Welfare. This department runs a close second to defense in size and in cash spent. Our chief exec plans on spending near ly $70 billion for this next year. A big chunk of this is for social security payments. How ever, aid to education and dependent mothers, the Public Health Service, the Food and Drug Administration and community and field ser vices are rather expensive and require a very, very large number of people to administer them. Veterans benefits are also involved here, oper ating the many large hospitals and homes around the country. This ends the list of Nixon's direct control departments. In addition to all this, there are 31 independent offices and establishments that are funded and, in part, controlled by the ex-

ecutive. Just to name a few, there is the Postal Service, the Atomic Energy Commission, the FCC, the FAA, NASA, the Selective Service Commission (another eternal thorn in the flesh), the Small Business Administration, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and on and on and on. These are not just fly-by-night loosely organized small groups of people, but full-scale administrative and research foundations or cor porations consisting of thousands, and in the case of the Postal Service, hundreds of thous ands of people. Is this not enough. There are also quasi official agencies under the wing of our govern ment: American National Red Cross, Nation al Academy of Sciences, and more. If anyone has toured Cape Kennedy or the Manned Space Flight Center in Houston, and has been overawed, it is shocking to know

A large country needs a large government. The length of this article may have been ridi culous, but the scope of our federal govern ment is even more so. The larger the machine, usually, the less efficient it becomes. I think to be fair, the citizens of the United States should hire our government leaders on a commission basis. They get to take whatever they can make over expenses. However, if this were the case in the coming year, President Nixon and our 535 legislators in Washington would be in the hole $120,000,000 a piece. R.EAV.

They kissed a young lover’s kiss, soft and wet as the springtime rain, and they didn't know where they were. The trees, the grass, the ground itself, all spun around them, or they around it — they didn’t know which, did n't care which. All they cared about was the person in front of them, the one who had open ed up this whole new world of freshness. Each wanted to hold the other and let the wonder out and say they loved each other and that was all, they loved each other for now and forever, because now would go on forever, because they would always feel this way. Only they couldn’t say it, weren't allowed to; only people who were fully grown could say things like that and they weren’t fully grown yet — she was only fifteen and he was sixteen. Besides, con fessing love would open up a whole new realm of problems that they knew they couldn’t hand le, and then that would only spoil it. And they didn’t really know if it was true or not — maybe they just wanted to use the words; but the feelings were true, regardless of the words — the feelings and emotions and headaches

She held his hand as th> talked along the path. Would they still be friends in the years to come? Would they still know each other when these wonderful feelings curled up into memories? No matter what, would they still care at all that at one time they had cared so

very much? She hoped so, hoped that the long winter nights of schooling wouldn't dull his freshness or the way he had of looking at things or of thinking about them — would he never stop thinking? She hoped not, even though it scared her — not the intensity, but the con stantness. He was always watching people, lis tening to them, making up his mind but never judging them, never wanting them to change, just wanting them to lead their own lives truth fully, honestly, and always wanting to know, and wanting them to know, why something 168

was happening. And so it scared her, because he would never accept anything but the truth — at least, not for very long. But it scared her in a good way, because it let her know she was with a boy who would someday be a man, and that made her proud, for someday she would be a woman. She raised his hand to her lips and kissed it, then blushed when he smiled at her. They walked over a creaky footbridge that went across an almost-dry stream bed, through which flowed only a narrow band of spakling water. But one rivulet was enough for them, and they laughed. She made him happy. Just thinking about her as he walked down some stair or waited for the bus or stood in line at school could

She gave him sue reeling of com pleteness, such a base to v. from, knowing that whatever flights of far- . iie took off on, she would always be there when he came back, waiting for him, unafraid. But that didn't mean she had to stay the same all the time or herself never grow or learn. It meant that no matter how she grew or what she learned, as long as they were seeing each other, she would always be “his girl.” They would talk about it, but only in general terms at first, too embar rassed to say they were talking about each other — talked about the way two people can work together, one filling in what the other lacks, so that as they really get to know and understand each other they become not two people but really one, as they themselves were now. She would probably get married first, though — girls usually did — maybe to some older guy in college or just out of it, and then move away, and in a few years have a baby. He could see her walking the baby carriage up and down in front of her apartment building, wearing a white ruffled blouse and a nice blue skirt. But no matter where they were or what they were doing or how they had changed, he 169

would always look back to these times and think warmly of her. She sneaked a look at him as they walked through the woods and saw a tall, thin boy in a T-shirt and blue jeans. But if she shut her eyes, she could see that he was made up not of flesh and blood and skin and bone but of the experiences reactions of his life so far, so that filling out the lower part of his leg was a picture of him pulling his red wagon along the street when he was five years old; his right arm was made up of his playing baseball when he was nine years old and wanting to cry whenever his team lost a game; and it was his father's drive that made his brain spin and his mother's love that kept his heart warm; and a peanut butter cookie was right where his kneecap should have been; and the cheese burger she made for him last week was where the stomach was usually found. And although she saw him this way now, she knew his early manhood would be made up of hopes and dreams and goals and ambitions, each one grown out of the memories and feelings of boyhood. And then the struggle between his hopes and dreams and what he could actually accomplish would keep things in a caldron state until, with years, the fires would simmer down until they were only embers. Then with great sadness she saw him in old age — though she prayed he would actually never get this way — standing in the middle of a cocktail party, wearing a dark-blue suit. She saw him there responding to a question not by reciting a tenet of his parents’, as he sometimes did now, or by explaining a dream or a goal of his, as she knew he would do later on, but by saying in a dry voice, “Oh, yes, that reminds me of a story ...” and then reaching down into the file cabinet of his memory for another anec dote out of his long but no longer active life. He squeezed her hand. They were on top of a long, grassy slope, perhaps fifty yards long, that ran down to a broad park below and then to a boulevard and then to the snug houses be low. They wanted so much for each other and so much for themselves. But only time would tell. For now they were still wrapped in a co coon from which, in time, they hoped to em erge as something beautiful and fly away from adolescence as fully functioning human beings. If they did — fine; if they didn’t not so fine; but for now they had each other.

A n attitude usually finds its birth in and around a personalizing of a general principle or truth. Attitudes are the end results of rationalization, a process of thinking something out thoroughly and then adopting it as one’s own. Therefore, we will all differ in our attitudes, or as the age-old adage goes, “One man’s meat is another man’s poison.’’ Should a cer tain attitude become characteristic of a given era, it is given the title of fad or movement. Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary’s annual Mis sion Seminar 1972 examined an attitude which has been very prevalent, an attitude toward the Word of God and the purpose of that Word in the hands of its possessor, in a word, evangelism. Evangelism, deriving its life-prin ciple from the directed norm of Scripture, “Go, ye, therefore, and teach all nations ..." is that attitude or movement of our decade. Billy Gra ham, the Jesus People, and the accompanying revivalistic atmospheres and meetings that fol low such people around prove this to be the case. Experimental ministries (coffee-houses, mass evangelism, etc.) or the seeking out of newer methods of evangelism are a channel through which this work of spreading the Good News of the Gospel is disseminated. The ques tion comes up: What should be our attitude towards such a movement, or better yet, what is Christian Attitude? We go to the Bible for the answer and definition of this somewhat per plexing question: i ;

JOY, BUT NOT EMOTION St. Paul tells us that he rejoices in the name of Christ, no matter who preaches Him (Phil. 1:18). This indeed is not condoning the preach ing of falsehoods that might happen to be mix ed with the Truth of Jesus Christ, but he glor ies that even through those not totally com prehending the entire Word of God, the Holy Spirit works and spreads His name abroad. Therefore we likewise ought to be thankful to God that through such people as Billy Graham and the Jesus People the name of Christ is made known. To deny that God works through any and all possible means to further His Word is to deny that Word its inherent power (Pieper, Christian Dogmatics). During the Evan gelical Awakening (18th Century), which could be called a parallel to the present-day

situation, F. B. Webber, author of A History of Preaching in Britain and America states that the preachers (reformed, as is Graham) of that day . . . “may have been unclear in regard to the objective side of justification and in regard to the means of grace, yet they understood enough of the basic truth of the plan of salva tion to awaken in their hearers a terrible real ization of their lost condition." Yet man does n’t completely credit this power to the Word. A Medieval proverb states: “Cujus vita fulgor, eius verba tonitrus,” that is, if a man’s life be lightning, his words are thunder: Or again, what a preacher is goes far to determine what he says. A preacher practising discretion and preaching to the best of the ability given to him by God, yes; but speaking to the. emo tions of a person rather than to his faith, no. A preacher must always keep his audience in mind. Graham preache that conversion is an experience. What docs his say of the faith of that individual in the see -nd row, seat #23? The Jesus People says the; inversion enhanc es a very deep and perse1 i feeling of guilt and shame and sadness i > is manifested in hysteric crying and writ king and moaning. Does this mean that when m down and out, I’ve lost my faith? Not s. . for whether faith is felt or not, it is, nevertheless, there. Luther states, “The nature of faith is not to feel but to let reason go, close the eyes, and simply sur render to the Word, following it through life and death. But feeling doesn’t go beyond what reason and the senses can grasp . . . therefore, feeling is opposed to faith; faith to feeling." Truth is to be believed before it is experienced; for to belive is not to experience, and faith pre cedes experiences. “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God," Rom. 10: 17. It’s no wonder that people have described Graham's preaching as being the old-time-re* ligion-Little-Brown-Church-in-the-Vale sort of thing. Joy is not coupled only with feelings: it is also coupled with faith. No wonder cer tain of Graham’s spectators and hearers go away with such misconstrued thought as to make such statements as, “It’s nice to get away from all of the problems of the cities and the universities for an hour and listen to someone who sees everything in such simple terms. In stead of smoking pot, you go to hear Billy Gra*

ham.” “You get a pat answer to all the nagging questions of modern living, and he's such an obviously nice guy. You go forward in the presence of thousands of others like you’re wrapped in a massive security blanket. All you do is walk down the aisle and get eternal life. Where else can you get a bargain like that?” Keep in mind that a zeal for Christ, unless tempered with the proper Gospel attitude, will not win hearts for Christ. God’s voice is the Word of the Gospel and creates hearts anew.

LAMENT, BUT NOT COMPROMISE Although we rejoice at the mention of Jesus' name, yet we must lament that the name of Christ is sometimes not given its full scope, ic., its all-encompassing Truth; that some preach partial or “one-sided Jesus Christ,” the angry Judge or the God of Love, neither pic ture being just and righteous (as God indeed is) if it stands alone. Nor can a compromise, synergism, be struck between the two. The writer of an article which appeared in a 7^ew Tor\ Times Magazine said that Graham “attacks the sins of Elizabeth Taylor, Mark Rudd, or the Communists — not those of the men and women of his at ■ ce.” Harkening back again to the Evangel : Awakening pre viously mentioned, we p.< he Wesley, an Arminian preacher, also paid no heed to the teaching that God is also u. ! that men’s sins are an outrage to God's p. > :ct justice. Even if this comment is overly biased, doesn't this tell us something about how some people may be confused as to what the distinction between Law and Gospel is, even if it is there in Gra ham's sermons? The differences should be clearcut obvious. Graham’s participation in Nation al and World Councils of Churches and his organizing of conservative Protestant groups into “an uptight force determined to drive a wedge into the secular glob” is hardly being discriminate in doctrine. The still small voice of the Gospel must be preceded by a prepar atory strong wind, earthquake, and fire of the Law (I Kings 19:11-13).

We are told by God that we cannot by our own reason or strengtth come to H’m nor can we come to Him, but by the Holy Ghost. Yet both Graham and the Jesus People want you to make a decision: Will you follow Christ or not? But isn't it Christian to make a decision like this for Christ? Of course it is. Therein lies the truth of the whole matter; you must be Christian, knowing and believing the threats and promises of Law and Gospel, respectively, before you can decide. You must wonder when

you read something like what was printed in the Northwestern Lutheran, that 1/3 of 21,670 people who registered “decisions for Christ’" gave false names and addresses. Is this a de cision based on true faith? Making such a de cision can only endanger one's potential for faith that is already present. “Their custom is to ask: ‘Have you Christ in the heart? Do you feel that He is working in you?" If the answer is ‘Yes!’ then, and not until then, is their cause for comfort and hope; then they are ready to belive. But what is thus imagined to be faith is not true faith but pure illusion, or, at best, a fruit of faith? To do that means to make a false Christ for yourself and to re ject the Christ who hung on the Cross and gives Himself to us in the Gospel,” Pieper, Christian Dogmatics, p. 219. An article in 7<[ewswee\: “ it is not Billy’s belief, but his entire lifestyle that prevents him from communicating with those who can not accept his enthusiasm for the conventional version of the American dream.” This refers to the dangerously close proximity of the tinc ture of social gosple in most evangelistic preach ers like Graham today. It naturally follows that faith will produce good works in a life of

sanctification, but not good works, faith. The Social Contract by Jean Jacques Rousseau is basically what Graham hopes for in “the Amer ican dream.” “There is therefore a purely civil profession of faith of which the Sovereign should fix the articles, not exactly as religious dogmas, but as social sentiments without which a man cannot be a good citizen or a faithful subject.” Or as Graham says in his own words, “Certainly we must do all in our power to bring social justice to work for peace among nations to put down poverty. These are proper con cerns of the church . . . your efforts will be largely futile if greed and prejudice and hatred are still there. God alone can remove those elements from human nature.” What about the church? Billy says that he is a member of the world church first and of the Southern Baptist Convention second. Say that I went to a rally, made my decision for Christ, and then found that next week Billy was out of town again. Do I go back to my same way of life until the next time he comes back to town? The Church is where the Word and Sacraments are the Word oi God and true faith in the Word of God. / many times have the Sacraments been m ioned or ad-

ministered by Graham? Christ gives supreme authority and final jurisdiction to the Church, Matt. 18:17, but where is Billy’s church? The Jesus People have a legitimate gripe: “Don’t fall into the word games of secular and laity. How many churches are guided by the wrong motive? How many times do we find ourselves looking at how a man is dressed? It's gotten so that every Easter is a fashion show.’’ Yet they turn around and make everyone, who synergistically wishes to become a disciple of God, a disciple without having the true Church and its rite of calling and power of the keys among them, since they, as Graham, say after one is converted, he may join the church of his own choice — any church J. W. Marriott, a Mormon millionaire, described Graham as “sort of an itinerant preacher who represents all re ligions; he's the leading religious man of our time and he's noncontroversial.” A cartoon might serve here to make the point clearer. It showed two men talking : each other while down in hell and one tv to the other and says, “Guess that I pu i out the wrong church!’’ Is it so funny?

EVALUATION, BUT : JUDGEMENT God has given us . '.nmand to mark and avoid that which g gainst His teachings as expounded in R Writ. Evaluation and judgement, the ter: ? used as a subheading, may at first gla :m to be synonymous. Yet they are not «d alone is able to look into our hearts — to h o alone is reserved the right of judging. Wo only can evaluate because our eyes can only penetrate the out ward appearance of mankind. We are not to do our missionary, evangelical work with a chip on our shoulders or with a negative atti tude. We must train ourselves to be discreet and yet tactful when analysing a person's situ ation. We must keep in mind that we won't change the world; the Gospel of Jesus Christ will. This doesn't mean resting on our laurels, but rather making good use of all the oppor tunities He presents to us— especially the ones just expressed, so that He doesn't have to come and ask for a second time, “What are you do ing, Elijah?’’ (I Kings 19) Let's get out and work now. Billy Graham and the Jesus People have mentioned Christ and various truths about Him, but they have managed to detour from them in one way or another. Let's learn to keep our minds open, and most important, our attitude — our Gospel attitude — Christian at all times. God works in mysterious ways through believers and unbelievers.

111 his past Christmas I was able to go to East Germany for a tour of Luther-land with Dr. John Montgomery, one of the foremost authorities on Luther and the Reformation. The whole trip was very enlightening and in formative. It was like a one-week course in the Reformation in which one could actually be there. Even though the whole trip was fab ulous, there were still several highlights for me. One was a talk with the pastor of the Evan gelical Lutheran Free Church in Leipzig. He came over to our hotel, but would not and did not dare to speak with us there, not even in one of our rooms. His cousin had been thrown into jail for 2% years because he was accused of saying something, not even religious, which he had never said. He lccl us about a mile to his house. He just coulee i afford to take chances. He and his wife 'nversed in Ger man, and four of us were doing our best to ask questions and transla. He started by showing us a tract which sh >wed select read ings from Scripture and the different services he would be having throughout die heilige Ad vents-, Weihnachts-, unci' Epiphaniaszeit des Kirchenjahres 1971/72. He had to take this down to city hall and get it approved; there they cross out and strike out whatever suits them. Then once it is approved, he can distri bute it, but mostly only to his members. He can do no work outside the church building and can conduct no home services.

Leipzig is the second largest city in East Germany with a population of 600,000, but the Pastor’s flock extends for a radius of 80 miles with 200 communicants and a total of 400 in his five preaching stations. Because his congregation is so scattered, it is very difficult to keep them strong and faithful. One of their major problems is working with the youth. He can baptize and confirm his youth, but the pressures on them from the outside are very difficult to overcome. The confirmation in struction is given from age 8 to 14 once a week at the pastor’s home where they come individu ally, depending on their school schedule and if they are working. As soon as one reaches 14, he must join the Young Pioneers, the first step ping stone of the Party, and put the State ahead of everything else — including family and God. If they are faithful Christians and refuse, they will not be able to further their education and therefore will not be able to get a decent job, but all their ; they will be on the bottom rung of the $«.■• : ' ladder — out casts of society and marly.; for their faitth.

of the game throughout. Not only did they outshoot our team, but they also decidedly con trolled the boards, 76-32. 6’5” forward Herrin Baskin was the games high scorer with 27 points, while Toepel led NWC with eighteen. Concordia Winter Classic The Trojans’ first opponent in this fourteam tournament was an outfit from Michigan, the Concordia-Ann Arbor Trojans. Our Tro jans were completely dominant throughout the whole game as Coach Thompson extensively used all the reserves from the bench. Even with all the substitutions, we still won by 12091. Leading a balanced scoring attack were Don Sutton and Dave Kriehn with seventeen points apiece, while Glen chipped in with six teen. In the championship contest our opponent was the host Concordia club, and we were de feated in a close struggle, 78-74 It was a see saw affair all the way with the Falcons break ing away to victory from a 60 deficit on the strength of the fine play of Rc-n Sunvnski and Wayne Smith, who totalled and 24 points respectively. Glen led our cov: with twentytwo markers. For their fine around play, both Glen and Mark Toepel ere selected as all-tournament players. NWC 87, DeSAI. S2 In a game which saw two big leads deter iorate to almost nothing, the Trojans defeated DeSales Seminary on January 27th, 87-82. Af ter the contest had progressed to 81-80 with about 70 seconds to go, Thompson and Toepel notched six consecutive free throws to wrap up the win. Glen finished with 30 points and Toepel ended up with 24, including a perfect 1212 at the charity stripe. NWC 103, MARANATHA 77 Appearing at home for the first time in three weeks, the home favorites bolted away to a healthy 36-14 lead before MBBC knew what hit them, and the game was over for all intents and purposes. Although Toepel and Thompson again led the scoring parade with 27 and 25 points, Mark Lindner and Beck Goldbeck gave the Trojans a good game on the boards. And along the way the referees tooted some 63 personal fouls, which must be close to a record for a game on our campus. G.P.S. 180

Mother of buttered rum and whiskey sours, a haven for pirates, you made yourself rich, but now, half buried you mourn your fate, although rich again. They come poring over your ruins, hunting excitement, and stories to tell their children — I've been there.

TYPE IT! The dictum of the day. Oh, I can type a little — But typing is not writing For me. Writing comes from the heart. My pen is my finger — The channel of my flow. It leaves a trail — my mark, The condensation of my blue-black soul. It spreads myself across the page in beautiful figures For all to know, to see and examine.

R. D. Wahl ’72

Not so with typing. The typewriter is a machine. It’s neat and efficient — But I can’t flow through a typewriter. It makes cold, lonesome blotches With jerky little strokes And a grating clack, clack, clack. It has no heart of its own, Nor can it receive mine.

M. D. W. He's got his home; his own thing goes; he paints and writes, creates and works plays and feels — enjoys himself as others do, all on his own his very own.

I can’t love what I type. Love grows with gentle caresses — Not by bangs and knocks. I’d sooner stroke softly Than punch and press a key. A. R. Geiersbach

February is the month <; only famous Americans' birthdays, but Valent ;ne’s Day, a day when sentiment: - get fat and ugly eating stale candy an ■ ightful boyfriends go broke buying th, ;.ile and very expensive candy. But thi dentine's Day promises to be different, for use of the in' ap Year, girls fluence of Women’s Lib and will take the initiative! I’ve - . n evidence of this already, for just the other day two female mallard ducks swooped down upon Rog Wahl and passionately tried to pluck out his feathers. I’ve also seen several stray dogs chasing after Stevie Poole. If the females are going to be so aggressive this month, certain precautions will have to be taken. For example, Cary Grant may have to cut his daily grooming time from four to three hours.

for the cows were already in their stanchions and the sheep had to return home. The frosh also are not giving up the hunt for female companionship, for they are search ing “this place” and “that place” for sociable young ladies. But they are finding that many of the local girls are too busy for social activity because of their jobs with a Chevrolet adver tising agency.

Out of respect for David Bock’s taste in women, I offer you my Valentine’s Day poem. Ode To A South Milwaukee Lass O Darling, Dear, when you are near Sweet love o’erflows my cup. But the sardine grease around your lips Induces throwing up.

This female initiative seems to have been detrimental in some instances of campus love affairs. A new version of the movie “Shaft” will be released soon, starring Rick Zahn, Rich deRuiter, and Dale Beutin. However, Women’s Lib and Leap Year have not killed all the male aggressiveness here at Northwesttern, for Carl Schomberg defied all sense of direction and practicality in his famous four-hour search for that certain farm girl. But when he finally arrived, all was lost,

If snowmobilers traveling on railroad tracks see the shadow of a locomotive bearing down on them from the rear, we will have a very good year and an early spring. Because February is a month of famous birthdays, I would like to honor a famous NWC citizen, Abraham Lincoln Goldbeck, by printing the text of the address he delivered to the fans at the shlunko-hunko invitational bas ketball tournament (otherwise known as the Concordia College Winter Classic). His ad dress reads as follows: “Three score and seven days ago our coach es brought forth on our campus a new basket ball team conceived in speed and dexterity and dedicated to the proposition that all shlunkoes are created equal. “Now we are engaged in a great tourney testing whether that team or any team so speedy and dextrous and so shlunko can long endure. We are met on a not go great court of that tourney. We have come to desecrate a portion of that court as a final resting place for those referees who here gav .heir lives be cause of their stupid calls. It : ,1 together fit ting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense they can not' dedicate, they can not consecrate, they can n e hallow this court. The poor shlunkoes living and who play like they’re dead who struggled here have dese crated it far above their poor power to add or detract. The fans will little note nor long re member what I have said here (or any place else) but they can never forget what the shlunkoes have done here. It is for us the shlunkoes rather to be desecrated here to the horrible work from which they who refereed here have thus far so ignobly detracted. It is rather for us to be here desecrated to the great task re maining before us, that from these dishonored referees we take decreased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of their stupidity; that we here lowly resolve that these shlunkoes shall not have played in vain, that this team shall have a new birth of talent, and that team of the shlunkoes by the shlunkoes for the shlunkoes shall not perish from the court.” And now a special February bonus, a guide to Northwestern’s own T.V. station, WNWC:

Dear Davey:

Dear Ima: The phrase “by and large”, of course, means generally speaking, and it stems from the way General Robert E. Lee answered the telephone during the Civil War. “General Lee speak ing!” he’d say. And then when he was finish ed, instead of just saying “goodbye” he’d say BYE! And large!” Nobody knew what he meant by this, or if they did, they didn’t let on. So that’s how “by and large” came to mean “General Lee speaking.”*

BIRTHS Nathan Philip was born to Pastor and Mrs. Louis Sievert on Nov. 4. Rev. Sievert is the pastor of Our Redeemer Luth. of Martin and St. Paul’s Luth. of Batesland, S.D. In the Dec. Issue it was erroneously reported that a daughter had been born to Rev. and Mrs. David Zietlow (’54) of Anchorage, Alaska. Instead, a son, Johathan Paul, was born on Oct. 28. OTHER NEWS In the December, 1971 issue of Reader’s Digest there appeared an article entitled “The Crises of Our National Forests,” by James Nathan Miller. The Bitterroot National Forest in western Mon tana has become the battlefield between conser vationists and the lumber industry, which is working under the supervision of the U.S. Forest

;

Service (U.S.F.S.). The U.S.F.S. has been ac cused of catering to the logging companies by allowing them to clear-cut up to a thousand acres of forest at a time instead of the usual thirty to forty acres. (A clear-cut is the cutting down of every tree of every age in a given section of for est, as opposed to the selection-cut method in which only a few of the mature trees are cut.) Campers, hunters, outdoor lovers, and other con cerned people have claimed that this practice of clear-cutting has destroyed animal habitats, caused eroding, and wiped out some of the for est’s most beautiful trails and campsites. After much local agitation and hundreds of protest let ters to Montana’s Sen. Lee Metcalf in Washing ton, D.C., an investigation of the Forest Service was begun in 1939 at his request. This investigation was undertaken by seven faculty members of the University of Montana, which became known as the Bolle Committee, after its chairman, Professor Arnold Bolle, dean of the university’s school forestry. This com mittee reported that the “overriding concern of the Bitterroot National Fur t staff is for sawtimber production; m u 1 f: p1 o - u s e management which is to be their prim ; concern, evidently is not.” (“Multiple-use ities two economic goods and three services the U.S.F.S,, in its management of our forest;- uist make available to the nation: timber from trees, forage from the grazing lands, recreo , wildlife manage ment, and protection of or ’ vers’ pure and con stant flow through the sue! .:-in and leaking out action of the forests’ gro;.: sponge of roots and foliage.) Because of his life-long concern for good conservation practices. Professor Bolle now finds himself in the middle of a stormy contro versy. Since this report, logging interests have tried hard to get him fired. The president of the Society of American Foresters has attacked his committee’s report as politically inspired. He has been the catalyst of a bill introduced into Congress to put a two-year moratorium on the practice of clear-cutting. What connection does forestry and Professor Arnold Bolle have with NWC? Prof. Bolle is a graduate of Northwestern, class of 1934, to be ex act. It seems that a number of his classmates also were thinking of making forestry their life’s work. He graduated from prep and college (where he wrote imaginative tales for the B&R!), and then studied for three years at the University of Montana. Later on, he obtained his doctorate from Harvard. His handbook for forestry ser vice has been widely used throughout the coun try. He has worked in various states in the Pacific Northwest and is presently the dean of the School of Forestry at the University of Mon tana. He frequently travels to Washington, D.C., to discuss matters of forestry with government officials. So not everyone who graduates from NWC becomes a pastor! 188

Another alumnus, Philip Koehler, chose also to take a different path. Mr. Koehler was re cently elected a Vice-President and member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Phy sical Plant Administrators of Universities and Colleges. This 750-member association, interna tional in scope, was founded in 1914. Its purpose is to develop professional standards in the ad ministration, care, operation, planning and de velopment of physical plants used by colleges and universities. Mr. Koehler, presently Director, Facilities Management, at the University of Hawaii, is a 1942 graduate of Northwestern College. He serv ed in the U.S. Navy, from 1944-1984, as a member of an Underwater Demolition Team in World War II, followed by duty in submarines, destroyers and intelligence billets. He was awarded the Navy’s third highest award, the Silver Star, for gallantry in action as a frogman in WWII and the Joint Services Commendation Medal in Viet nam plus various campaign ribbons. He has been with the University of Hawaii since 1965.

How can it be denied; If I have any more to do This Yule will see me tied!” The husband slowly climbed the hill. His face a picture, drawn and sad. Although a mighty lumberjack, A Bunyan he was not, but had. He cut a pine, held it aloft, And came across a plain. His wife remarked, “Here Birnam wood Is come to Dunsinane!” They decked the tree with ornaments And added colered lights. He said, “I love those reds and greens; If only we had wights! But two of us will celebrate The coming holiday. We’ll keep our tree a day or two; Then let it pine away.”

i.*

TJave you ever been to sea? I mean, on a * large ocean-going vessel, a ship? I myself haven't. But I can imagine that it feels just about the same on a huge liner, tanker, or freighter, as it does right here on this pier, right now. It isn’t too cold out, but it's windy enough to be termed a gale. There’s no moon, no stars, and the blackness of the waters is broken only by the myriad iridescent whitecaps. I don’t have to let my imagination wan der too far before I find myself standing near a massive superstructure on the deck of a freighter, instead of standing next to the bait house on a pier. And the waves breaking against the huge pylons cause the pier to sway just enough to suggest in my mind a ship heel ing in moderate seas. The two buoys are so clamorous tonight, I can almost pin-point them in the dark. They are set out not quite a mile from the pier at oblique angles, one on the right and one on the left. Both have bells which should toll regularly according to ocean conditions, but the one on the right has been inoperative for some time now. It can only groan in a deep voice, while the buoy on the left jeers at the other with its clear bell tones. Putting all the effects together, I could just as easily be standing on the foredeck of huge tanker being guided through dangerous straits by two buoys. Oceans can unfetter one’s mind. There are only a couple fisherman out here tonight — the fishing has been rather poor late ly, I don't know why. This is really no night to spend out at the end of a pier, fishing. A person would have to be either starving or a fishing fanatic to sit out here in this mess. I think both kinds are here tonight. That guy on the right side of the pier has got to be the.starving one. The look on his face isn't the picture of an austere, determined fisherman. To describe him, he isn’t the fisher man type, either. He's a long-hair, the epitome of the younger generation type of freak. His hair is past his shoulders, although much of it is contained within a black stocking cap. He didn’t dress for the occasion, which must ac count for much of his discomfort. Worn-out blue jeans, worn-out cowboy boots, and wornout flannel shirt are the only apparel separat ing him from the elements. I feel soory for

him, sitting there, sniffing, wiping his nose on his sleeve. It's obvious he knows nothing about fishing, from the very fact that he’s on the windward side of the pier. His casts don’t carry very far, and every time he reels in he loses his bait and gets his hook caught on the barnacle-encrusted pylons. “Howdy. Catchin’ anything?’’ His beard parts and a noise issues forth. “Whadjya’ say, man?” “I said, how’s the fishing?” “Oh. Terrible.” Seizing his bamboo pole broken in two places, he takes a mighty cast, forgetting to take his finger off the button of his plastic spin-casting reel. After untangling the tip of his pole and reciting a few vulgar ities, “Man, I can’t fish! D’you know anything about catchin’ fish?” “What’s your bait?” “Dead anchovies I fou 1 lying around. I only got one left and I ha Tt gotten any fish yet. Whaddya' supposed use?” “That depends on the you're trying to catch. Live anchovy is goe But it would help if you went over on the ward side of the pier.” “The what side?” “The downwind side. Then you'd be shel tered by the bait house and you're bait wouldn’t be blown into the pier,” “You mean go over by that fat dude on the other side? He might throw me in, man. Ya' can’t trust those weird-lookin’ people.” “Well, good luck.” Walking out along the edge, I can feel a wet spray on my neck, 'till I come to the other side. “Evenin'.” “Hullo, how ya’ doin'. Ungodly night out. huh?” “Really.” His pole is firm in a holder, the line taut and angling down into the water. The tip bends deceptively with each swell as the current tugs on the line. He’s fishing bottom. “Gotten any halibut?” “Na. Just a few little sandabs. Not too good tonight.” This guy must come down here every night; I see him every time I come. He's fat. Not plump, not chubby, but just the type

194

you'd describe as fat. But he's the best fisher man I’ve ever seen — a real fanatic. I’ve never walked past him without seeing at least a few fish in his bucket. He’s the kind who will, on a night when the pier is crowded, catch a big shark or mackerel to please the sightseers, while the other fishermen’s lines are barren. He dres ses like a fisherman, he even smells like a fisher man. His tackle box is jammed with any lure you can think of, and I've seen him tie a swivel to his line faster than you can tie your shoes. And I've seen him go crazy when the bonito are running. His eyes glued to the tip of the rod, “Looks like I had a little bite there. Prob'ly chewed olF m’ bait by now.” He starts reeling in. “Did you see that freak over there on the southside of the pier? I hope he stays stupid and doesn’t come over here. Ya' can't trust those weirdlookin’ people. 'Course, there's only one dis advantage to it: he's upwind from me.” And laughs heartily. “Yeah, well, I'll see you. Don't catch any whales.” “I’ll try not to. Take - isy.” the freak shamBut before I can turn i blcs over. “Hey man, mind if I . by ya'?” The fat man turns . nd, looks at the freak, pauses while giving a “now this guy is really out of it” look, > > says, “It's a public pier. I could care less where you sit.” “Far-out. (pronounced faah-rout) Man, it's so wet over there, I war. really gettin’ cold! Besides, I was losing all my bait.” “That’s obvious.” “Man, I'm no good at this fish stuff. What kinda' bait ya’ supposed to use?” “Well it depends on th—” “How big a hook d’ya need? D'you fish on the bottom or on the top? Could you show me how to fish?” A pause, “Could 1 what?” then scorn, “You can't learn to fish in a few minutes!” and a glint of pride in his eyes, “It takes years and years of experience to make a good fisherman. I could no more tea—” “Well, just lend me a hook then, okay?” “I suppose I could lend you one of my bent ones. Here.” “Far-out.” The hook, line, and hands be come buried under a mass of greasy hair as he leans over to attach the hook to the line. “Can’t .. . seem ... to ... ” “Here, give it to me! You could tie it if 195

you could see anything through that mop. Now just drop your line over.” “Could I have some bait, too?” “What?” “I ran out. Over there on the other side.” “Well, I don’t have any live bait, but here’s some old squid you can use. Just drop it in the water and let the current take it. When you feel a bite, yank on your line and set your hook.” The freak makes a clumsy overhead cast, to which the fat man responds, “Can’t you read the signs — no overhead casting! Cast underhand like this.” Leaning out over the edge of the pier, he swings his leader back and forth, then flicking it out with the spring action of his rod, the bait sails out into darkness. “If you can't fish, why’d you come out here, especially on a night like this?” “'Cause I'm starvin’, man. I’m outta’ bread, so I figured I’d live off the land, or sea, what ever. See, I’m living with a couple friends of mine in an apartment down on the peninsula, and my unemployment compensation ran out, so they refused to feed me, and pretty soon they’ll throw me out.” “Why don't ya' get a job?” “Can’t. The employers all discriminate against me ’cause of my hair. They think it’s ugly.” “Well, I don't think you’ll catch much to night. It's really been bad lately.” “How come?” “Seals. It’s the time of year when the whales and seals are migrating, and the seals scare all the fish away, especially the game fish. 'Bout the only thing you can catch is shark and chum.” “Shark and what?” “Chum, bait fish — anchovies and sardines.” “So if the fishin’s no good, how come you're out here in this wet?” “Because I can fish. There’s no fish I can't catch and this is a really challenging night to come out. Besides, I really like to fish; it’s the only pastime, only sport I got.” There’s a lull in the conversation for a short time. One can imagine their minds functioning and concluding that the other isn't really such a bad guy after all, even though he stinks a little. The freak asks, “D'you live nearby?” “I live a couple miles straight north of here, on the Upper Bay.” “Oh yeah, I know some guys—”

excited, as I strain my eyes to catch glimpses of the mighty fish battling in the water. Both men are up on their feet yelling. The fat man yells directions to the freak; the freak just yells, "Far-out, man!" and it is a spectacle to behold. The patriarchal denizen of the depths slowly tires; we catch more and more glimpses of silver as it is played closer and closer to the pier. Wait a minute . . . “Hey, you've got my fish!” "Hey man, you’ve got my fish!" “He hit my lure and then you snagged him on your line when you were reeling in! Let go of my fish!" "Whadd'ya mean your fish?! It's just as much mine as it is yours! Man, this is my next meal!" "Next meal?! You're crazy, you stupid freak! I'm gonna’ mount that fish — this is the biggest bonito I've ever caught!” "Oh yeah, well if you think I’m gonna’ starve, you fat pig, you can just take your pole and—" "Oh no! No, get away!

“FOR THEY COVERED THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH” HPhroughout the pages of recorded history * man has been plagued by all forms of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, hail, strong winds, dust storms, and locust plagues. All of these, occurrences are quite familiar to us, except for the last one, since our country hasn’t experienced a locust invasion for almost a century. It was from 1S74-1876 in the west ern part of the United States that these winged creatures destroyed vegetation whose value was estimated at some 200 million dollars. How ever, other parts of the world have not been so fortunate. Locusts have threatened man’s crops since the beginning of agriculture. A record of this destruction is supported by carv-

ings found on the tombs of the sixth Egyptian dynasty, stretching approximately from 23502180 B.C. Locust swarms are capable of brining about unbelievable destruction. In 125 B.C. a locust invasion of North Africa, which was then the breadbasket of the Roman Empire, resulted in the deaths of some 800,000 people from star vation. In Morocco, during 1954-55, damage estimated at $14 million was done to the citrus crop in six weeks. Fourteen years ago, in 195S, locusts attacked the cereal crops of Ethiopia, forcing one million people to go hungry. No Biblical student can read an account of locust infestation without thinking of the eighth 196

"Hey, look at that!" "Look at what?" "That chum in the water, see the water boiling with 'em?" "Hey, far-out!" "That means game fish, the game fish are chasing the bait fish!" The light from the pier lamps is just enough to reflect off the thousands of anchovies that come bursting and boiling to the surface! Thou sands of silver darts that streak up and down and across the surface of the water all in the same instinctive motion! And after the huge school disappears for a few seconds, one beau tiful silver streak, one three-foot lightning bolt follows in pursuit! It can only mean — "Bonito, that's occasion. Seldom have I seen the fat man move so quickly. The freak just stands looking at the water while the fat man reels in his line, snaps off one rig, snaps on his bonito rig, and feverishly starts casting and reeling, casting and reeling. "Hey man, how does that rig work?" "The long leader is attached to that large rubber ball! When the ball slaps the water, it excites and angers the fish, so the fish hits the lure which is shaped like an anchovie!!" “Far-out!" "You’d better get your line in, in case I get a strike . . . Hey, I got a hit! Oh wow, I got one on!" A jubilant look. "Hurry up, get your line in, wow, is this a big one!” "Okay, I'm hurryin’. Hey, I got one too! O wow, man! Far-out! This one's really big too! Man, is he gonna taste good!” Things are hopping now on the pier, even with only the three of us. Even I'm getting

* plague which God sent upon Egypt just before the Exodus. The account in Exodus 10 reads: And when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all die coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they: before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. For Uiey covered the face of the whole earth, so dial the land was darkened; and they did cat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt. In this instance God used the forces of nature to wreak havoc upon Pharaoh and his people for His own divine purpose. A locust is only slightly larger than a grass hopper. How can it accomplish such untold destruction? Each adult weighs two to three grams, but it can also eat its own weight in food every twenty-four I.< •* irs. Wc are told that a locust swarm measv . ■ one square kilo meter can contain bct\\\ fifty million and one hundred million insect Therefore a dense swarm measuring one hur ■ square kilome ters can eat more than i metric tons of food every day, which is . of food, accord ing to anybody's standard the rapid move In addition to their app ment of locusts increases destructive po tential. Even the young usts, called hop pers, because they do not have wings, have a locomotor urge which c s them to march over the countryside twenty to thirty miles be fore they become adults and form flying wings. They can move along at a pace of two to three miles per hour, and when you’re that small, you can work up quite an appetite covering a distance like that. The adults are capable of flying fifteen miles per hour, and with a good wind the whole swarm can move up to 100 miles in a day. Their desire for food and the means of rap id locomotion do not set the locust apart from other creatures, but two of their inherent char acteristics do make them different from other species. The first of these is their gregariousness. They react to, and are stimulated by, the presence of other locusts, and they behave so as to keep the crowd together. Since each female can lay 300 eggs in her lifetime, and all these offspring stay together, it is not hard to imagine how the population can grow rapidly. The second intrinsic characteristic is their urge always to be on the move. We have already

seen evidence of this in the case of the young hoppers. The adults migrate by flying, and their huge flying masses are the typical manifestation of danger. During the last four decades man has been able to study in depth the life habits of the locust and has thereby been able to exercise some measure of control over them. There are many varieties of locusts, but let us deal spedcally with the desert locust, which is the same variety found in the Exodus account. It in' habits a vast area across Northern Africa and the Middle East, which makes up one-fifth of the earth’s land surface. Already since 1929 the Anti-Locust Research Center has maintain ed a close surveillance on this insect through out the entire year. From this information it has been learned that the swarm movements show a seasonal pattern, rather than being hap hazard. The swarms move with the wind and eventually drift into areas of low-level wind convergence where rain is most likely to fall. Although the desert locust lives primarily in arid regions, the swarms usually arrive at the rainy season, which provides the proper condi tions for successful breeding, since the eggs must be laid in moist soil and need consider able water for their development. In addition, the emerging hoppers are assured of green veg etation when they hatch. The major weather phenomena of this part of the world arc sea sonal, and since the locusts' migration patterns are directly linked to the we n her, it is now possible to predict their sc.i nal movements and to prepare for effective control. Locust plagues are no longer as devastating as they once were because of the intelligence and firepower used against them. The coor dination of locust control has been undertaken by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization which holds regular meetings of the countries concerned to establish policy and to coordinate activities. Before a threatened in vasion in December of 1967 the endangered area was given no less than four months' warn ing of the impending attack. The firepower of the enemy includes mainly light aircraft which must be as mobile as the locusts themselves. The planes apply modern insecticides by using spe cial rotary atomizers which deliver the spray I in a fine mist. As little as four ounces of spray is used to the acre. Man has now learned to control natural disasters, to some extent. However, he must always remember that the same God who sent the locust plague on Egypt still rules the uni verse. J.T. 198

I Tn 1956, Nikita Khrushchev issued a decree which attempted to make all the Russian Gypsies settle down, get regular jobs, and lead "normal” lives. The man who reported this for Life magazine couldn't help but chuckle at the idea. Over the past five hundred years thousands of similar laws have been passed in hundreds of countries and municipalities, and yet a recent census approximated that today close to three million Gypsies still wander the

carth. Only the Jews 1 been persecuted in any degree close to the -.’•/psies, except the Gypsies have not Received . publicity (Hit ler annihilated a half million Gypsies in con centration camps). Yet despite an almost per petual persecution, the Gypsies have survived, m fact thrived in many ways. And though they have been treated as ‘ the scum of the earth,” they have found a secure place in the literature, music, and romance heritage of Western civilization. As Robert Louis Steven son once wrote, "There is nobody under thirty so dead but his heart will stir a little at the sight of a Gypsy camp.” Though this paper deals specifically with the question of where these nomads came from, it might be proper at the outset to define the term Gypsy. In modern English it has come to describe almost any wanderer or nomad, but in reality only a small percentage of the West ern world's tramps and vagabonds are true Gypsies. The Gypsy, or "Rom” as he calls himself, is characterized by his black hair, swarthy complexion, and sparkling eyes. Among the many languages he can speak is Romany, the tongue spoken between Gypsies the world over. Though originally horse-traders, copper199

smith, magicians, and musicians, today they embrace virtually every occupation, the most common being that of fortune-telling. Despite diverse geographical names (The Gitanos of Spain, the Tinkers of Scotland, the Musicians of Hungary), their language, their customs, and their bodily appearance have established the fact of their common origin. The speculations and research of the last decades have sifted through centuries of bias and legend and have arrived at what appears to be the origin of these mysterious people. II The Gypsies entered Europe in the fif teenth century, but it wasn’t until nearly the end of the fifteenth century that any ser ious advances were made in determining their origin. Early researchers were plagued with the fantastic stories the gypsies told concern ing their origin, and just couldn't fit them into a plausible master-plan. They could have saved themselves much trouble if they had known the Gypsy proverb, "Surrounded by the Gaje (all non-Gypsies) the Rom’s tongue is his only defense.” Tall tales are still one of the Gypsies' chief characteristics and he protects the priva cy of his past, present, and future with them. However in 1780 the German H.M.G. Grellman found another approach to the prob lem — their language. Comparing word lists, he found that the Gypsy tongue, Romany, had much in common with Hindu. Further research was done among the numerous Sanskrit dia lects and it was found that the people of north west India (near the mouth of the Indus River) speak a very similar language to this day. Al though the Sanskrit originals are embellished with new words every time a particular tribe enters a country with a different language, a study of these added words gave further evi dence of an origin in India: "Curiously enough, all Gypsies have a tendency to appropriate to their language words of Sanskrit origin that they meet in languages of other people. Another approach was taken by anthropol ogists who established by measurement of a number of heads that the Gypsies, the Sudras, and the Jots are of one and the same origin and that the measurements of their heads are totally dif-

ferent from the measurements of the heads of the Hindus of die other three castes. The Sudras, the fourth and lowest caste of In* dia, was originally a caste of cattle-raisers and smiths, which were long famous as Gypsy occu pations. Recent university expeditions to Kar akorum in the Himalayas have also established the existence of the “fabulous tented empire of Karak Kitan in India.” The similarity in dwell ings as well as language provide researchers with hope of even further proof of the Gyp sies' long-ago habitation of northern India. Many customs of the modern Gypsies also bear out their Hindu origin: Rituals during birth and burial, marriage soon after puberty, similarity of numerals, and many more bits of evidence are being uncovered continually. To day it is accepted as a fact that the Gypsies once lived in India; but was that the beginning of the road that has since taken them through out the world, or merely an extended layover? Ill Quite a number of both educated and notso-educated guesses have been advanced con cerning the Gypsies’ existence prior to their settlement along the Indus River. Most ought to be credited as imaginative ideas, and little more. It has been suggested that they were the “descendants of those who lived in lost Atlantis.” But by far the majority of these speculations have been based upon a connection between the Gypsies and the Jews. Even though there has never been a single shred of evidence to support such a connection, the similarity between these two homeless races, as well as the tremendous influence Chrisianity has ex erted on all of Western thought, can be called to account for the existence of such a vast store of legends. When the first great tribes of Gypsies ap peared in Europe in the fifteenth century, they told the believing people quite a story. They said that they had come from Lower Egypt where they “had been condemned to a seven-year exile to atone for a sin committed by their ancestors, who had refused to accept the Virgin Mary and her holy Son at the time of their flight to Egypt.” This story was quite effective for a few years, which probably ac counted for the Gypsies adding themselves to quite a few other Bible stories. The Europeans soon however began asking themselves why these “penitents” seemed so carefree in stealing everything in sight. A Gypsy woman was in the train following Christ to Calvary, they claimed, and as a service stole the nails from the guard. When apprehended, she claimed

she hadn’t stolen in seven years. A disciple overhearing this granted her, because of her concern for the Savior, license to steal once every seven years. A variation of this story tells how a Gypsy woman stole the silver spike, the one the guards were going to put through Jesus' heart, and for sparing Christ the pain, the Gypsies have been allowed to steal ever since. Though it is hard to believe that the Europeans accepted these stories, it isn’t hard to imagine them being told and believed by an army of dirty little children sitting around a Gypsy campfire. Other Gypsy legends trace Gypsy lineage to Ishmael, who began their wanderngs so long ago. One attempt to tie this Jewish-Gypsy relationship in with the knowledge of their dwelling in India is presented by the editor of Simson’s History of the Gypsies, who, in his introduction, tells a story he learned from “a very intelligent Gypsy ” He identifies the Gyp sies as a cross between the Arabs and the Egyp tians who left Egypt during the Exodus, namely the mixed multitude of Exodus 12:38. Later they “fell a-lusting (Numbers 11 :4)” and were expelled from among the :-:ws. Barred from returning to Egypt or fre: entering the mighty kingdoms to the north, their only alternati\ c .. as to proceed east, through Arabia Pet along the gulf of Persia, through the sian desert, into re they formed the northern Hindustan Gipsy caste. Though Simson’s eel may have thought this the probable way occurred, he is no doubt outnumbered by (!'•■ thousands of Brah mans who believe that the Gypsies along with all of the Sudras caste, being the lowest of castes, issued from the feet of Brahma. The fact is that after all the “educated” opinions have been given, this explanation is as plausi ble as any other. IV Ascertaining the date when the Gypsies left India is almost as difficult as ascertaining much about their pre-Indian origins. However, once again we can turn to their language for a bit of help. Chaman Lai, a native Indian, notes in his book on the Gypsies that at the beginning of the first century A.D., there took place a complete and absolute reformation of the Sanskrit language; yet in the speech of the Gypsies there is no trace of this reform. Therefore we may safely assume that the Gyp sy caste either had left or at least separated 200

themselves from the other castes around the time of Christ's birth. From this point on we must continue our investigations through the medium of the print ed word, and the early literary works and in scriptions do provide a few clues. The blind bard Homer refers to a tribe of people called the Sygynes, beloved by Vulcan because they were so skillfull in metalwork. Many believe these to be an early tribe of Gypsies. In fact, the French writer Bataillard maintains that the introduction of bronze into Europe is due the Gypsies and not the Phoenicians as believed by many. The Persian poet, Ferdowski, in his Shah T'lomah (Boo\ of Kings) of 1011, refers to ten thousand Luri musicians that were im ported from India by Bahram Gour in 420 B.C. This could possibly also be an early re ference to the Gypsies, and especially the Lowari tribe, famous even today for their musical abilities. If these are truly early references to Gyp sies, they no doubt refer v mail bands which from earliest times sporati-. y left India. The first major exodus was r -My caused at the time of Alexander the (. • invasion of that country. Though the re - ..is are silent for almost a thousand ycai ' a ward, it seems probable that a combinau . events led to the development of the Gyp • of life. Fleeing the foreign conquerors, '-ypsies probably discovered that a life r.stant movement not only aided their cattle ring but also pre vented the upper castes i • > • keeping them in total subjection. When trie aforementioned language revolution took place, the Gypsy caste decided to maintain their original language and thus separate themselves once and for all. This tribe of wandering cattle-breeders can (without much imagination at all) be identified with our modem Gypsies. The written record is continued by Arab authors and geographers who told of a tribe of roaming cattle-breeders who lived at the mouth of the Indus and raised their tents wher ever their black water-buffalo were grazing. This people was called the Zotts by the Arabs, who also to this day refer to modern Gypsies as Zotts. Walid I of Arabia made a treaty with these Zotts after being defeated in an attempt to conquer them. After repeated at tempts the Arabs finally did manage to subdue them, and in 710 took a great number of pri soners back with them to the borders of the Tigris. Six years later Yazid II took even a greater number, together with their cattle and tents, back to Antioch. But these people never

would accept others as masters, and also prob ably felt too restrained in their movement, for in 820 they rebelled. Prince Motasim declared a three-day celebration in Baghdad when, after fourteen years of bloody fighting, they were finally subdued. A reported 27,000 prisoners were deported to Ainzarba. In 856 Ainzarba was taken from the Arabs by the Roums, or Byzantines, and the Zotts and their cattle were also taken. It appears that the Zotts approved of their new masters, for they took their name, the Roums, for themselves, and still in the Twentieth Century a Gypsy will refer to him self as a Rom. Another wave of Gypsies seems to have left India in the wake of Mahmud of Ghanzi, about 1000 A.D. During his seventeen invasions of India, Mahmud overran the entire country and took hundreds of thousands of prisoners, es pecially from the upper castes. This freed thousands of the Gypsy caste, who, fearing both further invasions and the recovery of the upper classes, migrated northward and westward. Finding abundant feed for their herds in cen tral Asia, they roamed the steppes for several hundred years. Then in 1235, Bati Khan and his horde of half a million Tartar horsemen decended on Russia and the Gypsies fled toward Eastern Europe. Traveling through Persia they may have mingled with the previous “Zotts” and no doubt spent a considerable time there, for when they left, their Indian nature-worship had been transformed by Manicheism into the peculiar blend of religious ideas that characterizes it to the present day. But about the fourteenth cen tury, according to Simeonis, a contemporary Franciscan scholar, a fresh persecution broke out, driving them into the Western world. By this time the Gypsies had pretty well divided themselves into their five tribes and adapted themselves to a life of continuous travel. For a thousand years they had already been fleeing oppression and persecution and had developed an existence capable of surviving another thou sand years of it. As the Gypsy proverb says, “It is in the water that one learns to swim.” V Roger Bacon in his “Opus Maius” of 1266 stated, It is well known that wise Ethiopians have come to Italy and Spain and France, and England, and those countries of the Christ ians where there are good flying dragons, and that by occult arts which they possess, they drive the dragons out of their caves,

and tliey have saddles and bridles in readi ness . . . Since the possession of “occult arts" has been the attribute of the Gypsies that has struck Western civilization most deeply, this refer ence could quite easily be taken to speak of an early appearance of Gypsies in Europe. Small bands could quite easily have found their way into Europe by this time, and if so this is prob ably the earliest record of them. However, it was during the fourteenth and fifteenth cen turies that the main body of Gypsies entered Europe. Migrating from Persia the Gypsy tribes split into two main groups. The one followed a path through Arabia, along the Red Sea, through Egypt, along the North African coast, finally crossing Gibraltar into Spain, This path was used mainly by the Gitano and Kales tribes. The other group followed a path along the northern coast of the Meditteranean, where, after crossing the Caucasus, another split oc curred : the Lowara Rom tribe went into Georg ia and Russia, while the Manouche and Sintis continued through Anatolia into Turkey. A third split occurred here when one portion headed south into Crete and Corfu and another section went into Rumania, Hungary, and Bo

hemia.

A note should probably be injected here concerning their tribal system. The Gypsy tribe was (and is) a very loose-knit affair, main ly horse-traders, the Gitanos coppersmiths, and so forth. The main sub-organization of a tribe was the \umpania, a group of families travel ing and camping together. The \umpania changed constantly and so there was really little organization as we know it. It was through such \umpanias, ranging anywhere from five to hundreds of families, that the Gypsies “in vaded” a country. An ingenious system of markings, known as the patteran, would be left along the road to tell a \urnpama where the previous group had been and where they were going. Thus, over a period of years the Gypsies would infiltrate a country, appearing to the people, over a period of time, to be as vast as an army, but because of their method of tra vel, virtually impossible to check. The three tribes who took the northern route into Europe had already engrained them selves in the Balkans by the mid Fourteenth Century. Simon Simeon, after visiting Cyprus in 1332, told of a people who never stop in one place for more than a few days, packing up suddenly and running away as though God had blasphemed them. 202

They live like Arabs in small low black tents, hiding in the hollows of mountains. Corfu also had a regular Gypsy colony by 1350. The Tirana monastery at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains was given Gypsy famdies as slaves by a Serbian prince in 1340. There are also records of their being in the Greek Peloponnesus by 1378, and in 1416, the mun icipal council of Kronstadt in Transylvania voted money, corn, and poultry to a company of 220 Gypsies arriving at their town from abroad. The Balkans and the Danube Valley received the Gypsies as well as any place ever had, and the Gypsies themselves appreciated the rough mountainous terrain. Today this area still contains the highest percentage of gyp sies anywhere in the world. But some had to move on, and Europe proper was the next to meet the Gypsies.

VI The first band of Gypsies to receive great attention in western Europe appeared in Ger many in 1417. This was one of several bands who told the Europeans that they were con demned to a seven-year period of wandering for a sin against the Virgin Mary and her Son. Just where they picked up his story is impos sible to determine. Howev • . having come into contact with Christianity throughout the Near East, it would be quite p -sible for them to have come across some sue h legend which they could adapt for their own use. That they made their story believable is a matter of his tory, for they even possessed letters from Em peror Sigismund and other princes backing up their claims and allowing them special privil eges. Muenster in his Cosmographia tells of meeting such a group in Heidelberg. That these truly were Gypsies can be ascertained by a description of them given by the Bavarian writer Adventen: ... a mixture of the scum of various na tions, living by prey, whose original home was on the borders of Turkey and Hun gary, and whom we call Zigcuner, infested the countrysides, living by thievery, robber)', and magic. The modern Gypsy image was already fast de veloping. On a supposed visit to the Pope, Gypsy bands appeared in Italy in 1422. However, the terror and hysterics they created with their thievery and general lawlessness soon discred ited their story. Sunday, August 17, 1427, diere arrived in Paris a dozen feudal lords, good Christians

from Lower Egypt • • • Most of the men had their ears pierced, and in each ear a silver earring or two. The men were very dark with curly hair and their women had harrassed their faces and hair as black and coarse as that of a horse’s tail . . . The wo men made a practice of examining peoples’ palms to tell their fortunes, and, claiming to be able to work magic, they emptied the purses of the folk who came to them. Thus a French theologian described the Gypsies as they entered France. In 1447, they entered Barcelona with the same story as before. They rapidly associated themselves in Spain with the Calabreze, a wandering tribe of coppersmiths, probably remnants of the Gypsies who had taken the route along the southern Mediterranean. Together they must have wreaked great havoc, for Ferdinand and Isabella entierly disregarded their Papal letters, and or' dered them either to settle or get out. The British Isles were not to be excepted from Gypsy travels. By the start of the Six teenth Century, one band wps already in Ire* land and another in Scot id. James IV of Scotland issued a Royal \V:it naming John Faw as “Earl of Little Fg\ pi.” and giving him authority to rule them Art of Jugling,” published in 1614, tells Certaine Egyptians, b • ' ed their Contry (belike not for their • onditions) arived heer in England, ing excellent in quaint trickes and dc\ i • not knowne heere at that time among us were esteemed and had in great admiration, for what with strangenes of their a tire and garments, to gether with their sleiglues and legerdemaines, they were spoke of farre and neere, insomuch that many of our English loyterers joyned with them, and in time learn ed their craft and cosen ing. But it wasn’t very long that this “great admir ation" lasted; for already in 1531 laws were being passed against the Egyptians, or Gypsies, as they began to be called in England and Scot land. Once again they sought a new horizon, and this time found it in the New World.

VII The years 1555-1780 marked one of the severest persecutions the Gypsies have ever en countered. Except for the Hungarian lands in the extreme East, the whole European contin ent united in trying to break the Gypsies. In Germany they were denounced as spies and outlaws and ordered shot or hanged. The fif teenth-century Teutons hunted the nomads like wolves, and burned whole forests when they 203

: couldn't get rid of them any other way. Very seldom did they receive any help such as one band received, which in 1532 was given refuge in an Augustinian convent to protect them from the raving citizens of Geneva. They found no peace in Italy; they were forcibly expelled from France, Denmark, and Sweden; and in Finland they were compulsorily settled. Scarcely thirty years after entering the Brit ish Isles, Henry VIII, in a decree entitled “An acte concernying Egypsyans,” tried to suppress them. At first they were given sixteen days to leave the country, but soon being a Gypsy was punishable by death, a penalty which wasn’t removed from the Statute Book until 1830. A good many of those who were by “habit and repute Egyptians” were deported to Norway, but soon this was replaced by ban ishment to the plantations in the New World. Putting an ocean between themselves and the thieving Gypsies seemed a pretty good way of eliminating the problem, at least to the Eur opeans of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Cen turies. In fact, an old Spanish document urging the governor to punish the Gypsies for their relations with the Indians proves that there were Gypsies on this side of the ocean as early as 1580. The governor assured the king he

would comply as soon as he could find the Gypsies. Both the Spanish and the Portuguese exiled great numbers of Gypsies to Brazil, so many that the entire Brazilian nation now is strongly tinctured with Gypsy blood. The Chikeners, a variety of German Gypsies, followed the Pennsylvania Dutch to America before the days of the Revolution. The French exiled large bands to the Louisiana plantations, also. But by far the largest group of Gypsies in early America were those from the British Isles. Fed up with the uncontrollable nomads, they sent a first large group to Barbados on the good ship Virginia. In 1715 the “Greenroc\” took another load across the Atlantic, this time to a Virginia plantation. The English weren’t really so mean, one of these English Gypsies' descendants claims, because they always paid the Gypsy's passage for him. “Your Welsh and Irish were so mean, when they banished a Gypsy to the Plantations, as to make him pay his own passage.” Even greater numbers . .me from England during the days of the ; volutionary War.

listing, but once they had their free trip to the Colonies, they always seemed to disappear. The Gypsies who arrived here before 1800 were the foundation of today's large American Gypsy population. Throughout the Nineteenth Century Gypsy bands continued to cross from Europe; however, the second great wave came in the last quarter of the 1800's. Strict laws were passed, especially in Serbia, against the wanderers, and thousands came to America as a result. One large tribe of Russian Gypsies crossed Serbia, Greece, Turkey, and Spain to sail for Amer ica in 1877. Even the tightening of imigration laws couldn't stop the flow, as large numbers of semi-nomadic Gypsies came during the in dustrial boom. Many Hungarian Gypsies ar rived to fill new factories at places like Detroit. But by far the largest numbers retain a nomadic life, and thousands more come from Europe or cross the Rio Grande every year. There is no doubt “a greater variety of genuine Romanies in the United States than in any other country on the globe.” Laws have acred the Gypsies in America also, but its vpen spaces have re free here than enabled the Gypsies to lr anywhere else.

But if this were their only problem rh / wouldn’t be too worried. Already they have overcome such an attempt made by Mussolini, who wanted to “allow” them to make a home in Ethiopia. Hit ler's Reich Central Office for Combating the Gypsy Mode of Existence, which was supposed to break up the tribes and generally badger the Gypsies, had to resort to the concentration camp to make any sort of progress at all. The Gypsy mode of existence evolved with the specific purpose of escaping oppression and is so successful in accomplishing this, that it would probably take a united global effort to destroy it.

But even tougher problems face the mod ern Gypsy. Passports and travel regulations have hampered his freedom of movement. Lo cal and national health and hygiene rules do not make exceptions for him. His children are required to meet minimum education stand ards. And, even worse, his earning capacities have been crippled. The automobile has made 205

\ the horse-trading Gypsy extinct.

Many have had to abandon the wide open spaces for OF the big city where their women can still make money by fortune-telling. Yet, Gypsy ingenuity, combined with a long lacking understanding for this wandering race by the rest of society, is making constant head way at overcoming these problems. The Gypsy knows that he too must modernize. His patteran is now assisted by long-distance telephone and telegraph.

N this manner Webster defines the term '‘chi ropractic.” It is most certain that if a per son is to understand fully the basic principles which underlie the chiropractic method, he needs more than a mere dictionary explanation Ever since its discovery in 1895 by D. D. Palmer, the chiropractic profession has been unduly denounced from all sides. The most frequent and pronounced defamations have come from the medical profession. Since the AMA is considered the health "expert,” its accusations have easily been accepted by the uninformed. This is certainly no attempt to discredit the medical profession in reference to its accomplishments and service to the sick and suffering. It is, however, an attempt to indicate that the medical and chiropractic professions are both a necessary element or* health care and should work together for the common benefit of all concerned. Perhaps the basic reason which leads the doctor of medicine to decry the chiropractor is this: "Chiropractors do not prescribe drugs, but recommend adding only naturally occur ring substances, for instance, vitamins. The vitamins and other naturally occurring sub stances which chiropractors use arc extracted from organic or living sources and are not syn thetically prepared.” — The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, April 18, 1971. It is common know ledge that a patient will often regain normal health, whether the doctor prescribes his gen eral drug remedy or not. Since the doctor shares in the revenue from the pharmaceutical industry, he is most naturally opposed to an area of medicine which discourages the use of drugs in all but necessary cases. It is most true that the many discoveries in the field of phar maceuticals have been of great value to the healing profession, and of great aid to the sick 210

and suffering. But more often than it should be, the use of drugs in healing is excessive. The reason for making such a point of this one matter is justifiable, since it does play an important role in the doctor’s stance against chiropractic. Chiropractic is not “anti'medicine,” as many people believe, but recognizes medicine’s healing skills, which have been highly developed since its beginnings with Hippocrates in 400 B.C. As defined in the Indianapolis Lincoln Col lege brochure, “Chiropractic is the science of locating and correcting nerve interference, both in transmission and expression. It is that branch of healing arts which deals with disturbances of the neuro-muscular-skcletal systems and ab normalities produced by malfunctions of these systems.” It is described as a “drugless and nonsurgical approach to restoring and maintaining normal body mechanics for proper health.” There is one main critic' n of chiropractors by the medical profession heir accusation is that the practitioner of chi,, practic is not qual ified to diagnose illness, s' he has not been trained for this or require pass an examin ation for that purpose. T. kind of thinking could actually be consider; linderous, accord ing to the facts. Twenty--"me states in this country and the District < Columbia have a basic science examination ;•■-£ the chiropractor must pass before receiving his license to prac tice. In many cases he sirs next to the doctor of medicine who is taking the very same exam. Forty-six states require a chiropractic examin ation in addition. The following is the four-year standard minimum curriculum of the accredited chiro practic colleges, as listed in the Lincoln College brochure.

It would seem that the person who has made a study of these courses would know a bit more than merely “cracking be. f. :!“ Several weeks ago m 'J appeared in the Wisconsin State Journal rich stated that none of the chiropractic :cs in the country are accredited. This dr \>ry ad was plac ed by the Wisconsin M. Association. As dited colleges of of 1968 there are ten chiropractic in the count They are located in California, Illinois, !• v.na, Iowa, Minne sota, Missouri, New Yor"» and Texas. As of September, 1968, the coll. :.cs require two years of liberal arts college work before entrance to the four-year chiropractic college. There is evidence that the medical doctor is utilizing techniques of the chiropractic meth od, but yet he continues castigation of that very profession.

NEWS The month of February was a busy one for Northwestern. Along with dve many home ath letic events, other special • livities helped to crowd the school calendar Winter Carnival was held on the weekend February 12th. The theme for the snow s .iptures was “Pop Art” and the collegiate cl, cs came up with such things as “The Art by the Fresh men and “The Morning A /' by the Sopho mores. In overall competit i the Sophomores were the only collegiate c; - to place high by taking second place. Enter inment for Satur day night was supplied by a musical group from Doctor Martin Luther College, Melange, and by a couple specializing in ESP, King Zerita. The weekend was capped off by the Pop Con cert on Sunday afternoon, which featured the NWC Band and Male Chorus. The Music-Auditorium became a focal point on campus after Winter Carnival by hosting two special events. Professor Sullivan present ed an interesting lecture entitled “Ireland” on Monday the 14tth, and music by composers Andriessen and Nielson was featured by the well-received Wingra Woodwind Quintet of the University of Wisconsin - Madison when they performed here on the 21st. The new gym took the final honors of the month as NWC hosted the Lutheran High School Basketball Tourney on the 25th and 26th. P.R.B.

CAMPUS &

CLASSCCCM

Winter Carnival was once again a smash' ing success here at Northwestern, not only for our students but also for the lovely young lad ies whom we entertained as our guests. The following is an entry in the diary of one of these young ladies who attends DMLC and came to our Winter Carnival.

HEWS BRIEFS Professor Plitzuweit got by without an in' jury in the senior-faculty basketball game, much to the dismay of all the seniors who have had him for a Greek course. Dale Tollefson is very much upset with the decision on his getting suspended from the gym. After all, why should he get punished for trying to catch his balance on the rim after some clod set him on top of the basket, when Beck Goldbeck continually slams his head, shoulders, etc., into the basket and is still allowed to re' main on the basketball team? Rumor has it that there will be another bud' get cut for NWC due to excessively high water bills stemming from the continuous use of show' ers on second floor'south Wartburg. The B&R staff is again advertising for re' cruits to take our places on the staff for the next volume. Anyone who can spare a few hours per month writing four to five pages of worthless garbage and has a slightly deranged mind is excellent potential for the C6?C editor' ship. Our editorun'chief is at the point of sui' cide because of all the material he has had to edit which was submitted by the student body. So if you’d like to see him go as much as the staff does, keep on submitting all those tons and tons of interesting articles, which are, of course, never subject to criticism.

Dear Diary: Oh, I’m so excited I almost forgot to eat my bedtime snack (four peanut butter and cat sup sandwiches, three hotdogs with garlic salt, two bags of sour cream and onion potato chips, and a super thick butterscotch malt slightly di luted with cream of mushroom soup)! I just got back from NWC’s Winter Carnival and I had such a great time. My blind date was such a nice guy, even though it took his see ing eye dog a while to used to me. The first time it saw me, it b r howling for the longest time. The UMOC camp.:. was really exciting and showed various ek . - of bigotry and obesity. I expecially lik obese pork cutlet that was sitting on a tab; with an apple in his mouth in the dining hail on Friday evening. Those Northwestern guys arc so nice. They probably knew that pork ■ my favorite food and arranged to have that huge piglet fixed just for me. That’s probably also why they kept yelling “oink,” “snort,” and “sweee” from all the dorm windows every time I walked around the campus. They’re so nice. Even the guy who won the UMOC contest dedicated his portion of the tallent contest to me. I wasn't there to hear what he said about me, but numer ous guys said it was all true. The Saturday evening program was really great. That was the most fun I've had since my last date at NWC when I toured the “Fin & Tail” fish packaging plant. Zerita was really something else; at least I heard a lot of people say they couldn’t figure out what she was. She tried to read my mind, but she said there was nothing there to read. I couldn’t figure out why everyone laughed. Time for my chocolate cod liver oil soda. See you tomorrow. Blimpy

And now for my first real bit of editing, I would like to offer you a poem written by James Ziesemer in contempt for our Dorm Council President. Ode To Stevie Wonder Without a bout, he’s the pick of the crop, The wonder of the ages. Without a doubt, his efforts will flop, No matter how he rages. A real life saver? Not our Laver! To give our Stevrens Any reverence Is simply vain and airy. His only threat is: “It’s you I’m getting, At the Seminary!”

This spring Forum will be putting on a musical. Rumor has it that they are going to scrap “Charlie Brown” and revive an old Germanic opera recently reworked by the C&C dept. The libretto to this opera, “Der Pizzicato Maus Klub,” reads as follows: DER PIZZICATO MAUS KLUB (Enter a group of skipping, rope-jumping Mausketeers sing “P-I-Z-Z-I-C-A-T-O” to the tune of the Mickey Mouse theme song.) Tommy: Professor Pizzicato is going to teach us how to sing today. Johnny: But we already know how to sing. Tommy: Oh, no! Only Professor Pizzicato knows how to sing the right way. (Enter Professor Pizzicato carried on a vel vet throne, holding a scepter shaped like a musical note, and wearing a polished, chrome topped crown. Or is it a crown? Professor Pizzicato steps off his throne and very pomp ously ascends to the podiuiv. his nose very much in the air.) Prof. Pizzicato: Sing your tuning note, Mar keteers. (The Mausketeers sound a '■y sour combination of tones.) Prof. Pizzicato: Okay, now . - , the — Johnny: But Professor, that .Ac was out of tune. Prof. Pizzicato: Quiet! Who.- do you know? Johnny: But Professor, I have iy doctor's de gree in music theory an.’ harmony, and that note was out of tune. Prof. Pizzicatos Silence! You are acting child ish! All right Mausketeers, sing the song we practiced last time. Ready, begin! Tommy: Professor, I missed your beat. Prof. Pizzicato: Then you’re stupid! My beat is as accurate as the gyroscope in the nosecone of an intercontinental ballistic missile. Now sing the song. Jethro: But Professor, I can’t hit all the high notes in that song. After all, I am a second bass. Prof. Pizzicato: Why, that’s ridiculous! Any one who can't sing all the notes in “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” without going into a falsetto is either ignorant or lazy. Okay Alfred, you d’rect the next song. I’ll let you be the d'rector. Alfred: Do you mean direct it, Professor? Don’t you mean that I should be the director? 216

Prof. Pizzicato: What do you know? You don't know anything about music! Alfred: That's because I've sung as a Mausketeer for eight years, Professor. Prof. Pizzicato: What’s the first note of our song, Jimmy? Jimmy: It's “B,” Professor. Johnny: No, Jimmy, it’s “B-flat.” Prof. Pizzicato: That's enough! (Prof. Pizzicato proceeds to tie the Marke teers up to their chairs and beats them fran tically with his note-shaped scepter. The cur tain falls, while the angry audience hurls toward the stage rotten tomatoes, cantelope, bowling pins, dead cats, and C&?C columns from the 75th volume of The Blac\ 6? Red.) — Any relationship between the above and actual persons a?id events is entirely intentional.

SPCETS All in Sport BASKETBALL LAKELAND 92, NWC 70 With high hopes of knocking off Moose’s powerful Muskies up in the wilds of the north, the Trojans took on Lakeland on February 3. However, we again served as delectable bait for his fish in a 92-70 defeat. Although the margin was much closer than normal for a con test with Lakeland, they did it in their usual precise style, Ray Heck, their sharpshooting guard, numbed the nets with 28 points, with most of his shots scraping the rafters on the way up. Bruce Voskuil backed him up with nineteen, while A1 Toepel led our cause with 21 markers.

CONCORDIA 91, NWC 85 The Trojans fell three buckets short in at tempting to take the rubber game of this sea son’s three-game series with the boys from Concordia. Some faulty ballhandling and weak rebounding gave the Falcons a lead which they never relinquished. One may be inclined to feel that the tee-totaling men in stripes felt somewhat prejudiced towards the home team, but the WIAA wouldn’t allow anything of the sort. Big Wayne Smith again played well, scoring 25 points and grabbing a ton of boards.

Everytime it looked as though we chop 'em down for good, 5'9" guard Roger Norkoli would bomb in a 25' jumper. However, Glen played one of his better games with 31 points, and he had just enough in reserve to hold them off in the end.

the west side were super-hyped up for the game, and they shot themselves up in the first half to the tune of 72%. Together with some shady and altogether one-sided officiating, the Crusaders held a slim advantage at the half. In the second half things began to change as they cooled off a bit and we rang the bell a little more often. Roger Kollmansberger and Mark Toepel staged a real shoot-out, with Rog out pointing Al, 34-33. Glen dropped in twentysix points for the good side.

TRINITY 109, NWC 97 In our final home game of the long season, Trinity pulled a mild upset as they downed the Black ’n’ Red 109-79. The high-scoring tilt was exciting from beginning to end, marked by some fine outside shooting by Dave Kling of the Deerfield, 111., team, also called the Tro jans. After NWC had opened up a 9-0 lead in the first two minutes, Trinity furiously fought back to clamp onto a 57-48 lead at the intermission. Everytime it appeared that our warriors would catch up to the visitors for the night, Trinity put some more space between them and the Trojans, and they went home with a 12-point victory. Kling and Dan Hau ser were high men for the game with 26 apiece, while Pete Schumacher notched 22 for NWC. An interesting participant in the game was their 6'5" 215 lb. forward Charlie Calbert. Quite a glaring likeness to the NBA’s Wes Unseld, and he seemed to play just like him, too.

As most Trojan bucketball fans will tell you, the ’71-’72 season was certainly one of the most exciting in recent years. It notched the first plus record within most people's memory, and did it through lotsa’ hard work. The new gym must have played its part, too, as the Black ’n’ Red was 9-3 at home and 4-8 on the road in alien territory. Coach Thompson’s hoped-for tough defense wasn’t always too evi dent, but when the team hustled and played it according to the book, our opposition was hard pressed to get the easy open shot. The

experience learned this year will certainly help out during next seasons long grind. One in' teresting sidelight of the season, dubious though it may have been, was that Senior forward Glen Thompson must have set some sort of record in the Gateway Conference. He logged 36 personal fouls in 8 games — fouling out six times—and he didn’t make too many friends with the whistle-blowers of Wisconsin. For his “agressive” play, Glen rightfully wins the B&?R Dirty Player of the Year Award,” a soiled and pitted out T-shirt from Skinny Rick Zahn. Soph Mark Toepel is also to be bestow ed with the Bs?R Earl “the Pearl” Monroe Award, a well-scrubbed klinker.

Coach Ed Pieper’s gallant gladiators of the wrestling mats compiled another successful re cord in the season just pa- boasting 13 tri umphs in twenty dual meets. The Trojan grapplers also participated n two eight-team invitationals at Carthage a.: ■ .it Lawrence, ek ing out a seventh place in •'.he former and a fourth in the latter. Individually, our squad . rted some mighty fine wrestlers. Among them were six pretty good seniors, four of whom compiled some mighty impressive victories and records in four years of varsity competition. Dale Tollefson, from Vassar, Michigan, and the Seminary at Saginaw, wrestled this season in the 126" class and posted a 12-11 record. However, for most of the season red-headed Tolly was hampered by an annoying back injury. Dubious though it probably is, Tolly’s match with undefeated and nationally-ranked Bruce Casper of North land was his most memorable match of the sea son. Unfortunately, though, Tolly was easily pinned. Captain of the squad at 142#, Armin Schwartz from Menominee up in No. Wis consin registered a fantastic 21-4-1 record to close out a long and successful 8-yr. career at NWC. Among balding Arm’s finer accom plishments was his first-place finish in this year’s Lawrence Invitational. His spot on the squad will be sorely missed. 222

shirts with an 8-0 record. An interesting high' light of their schedule was a resounding 127-97 victory registered by Scott Stone's Juniors over a team captained by Steve Hintz. That cer tainly must have been an NWC intramural scoring record of some sort. Talented players in the league included Tolly, Goober Meier, Phil Hoyer, Eddie Zell, Mark Schwertfeger, and our beloved B6s?R editor, R.E. Warner. However, his athletic contributions in no way compare to his intrepid literary contributions. To wit: your place is by the typewriter, R.E.*

Ralphie Jones from Woodruff also closed out a successful 8 yr. wrestling career at NWC, this year grappling in the 158# class. Ralph finished out the season with a fine 15-8-1 re cord. Perhaps no other wrestler on the squad has ever exhibited so much luck and “scrum” as it were in scraping out one-point triumphs. But then that’s all it takes to win! Scott Dummann from Thiensville over by the Seminary closed out his four-year NWC grappling career with a 15-9 record this sea son. Scott learned his basic bag of tricks over in Saginaw and continually exhibited his fine form while with the Trojans.

G.P.S.

* -Ed Note: Closing brazen remarks left in tact to display arrogant and insubordinate buffoonery of Sports editor; besides, to feed ego of said Bfe?R editor.

Paul Johnston from Wisco and Barney Leh mann from the NWP testing grounds also had their moments in their varsity wrestling car eers. After all, what better way to end a car eer than to pin your opponent, a Lakeland Muskie, at that, in your last home match!

Other invaluable members of the Black 6? Red squad were Freshmen Marty Baur, John Wille, and Tommy Lindlof; Soph Paul Scharrer wrestled at 132#, and b compiled an out standing 21-4 record the ason, giving him a two-year mark of 37-6. or a bad feat! Jr. Marc Bode closed out the uad in the unlim ited category, and poor c.: -Lire net his share of the bad luck. Five tin e had to wrestle the bigshot from Marana: Pat Callan, and he, fighting all the way, wa inned five-for-five. Then there was the 275# i • k from Northland — thud!! Eat a lot of potatoes over the sum mer, Marc.

INTRAMURALS Due to the fact that there were eighteen teams entered in this year's intramural league, Coach Umnus devised playoffs to separate the teams into two leagues, the winners and the losers. For some strange reason the losers’ divi sion was just that — a bunch of losers! A Soph omore team captained by Mike Ragan went through the rest of the schlnkos undefeated with an 8-0 record, led by smoke-blowin' Dan Wurster. A real surprise in the league turned out to be the ‘motley-talented’ Milwaukee Bocks, who sashayed to an amazing 5-3 record, easily their all-time highwater mark for tri umphs.

As far as the winners’ division was conmemed, a frosh team captained by Tim Kujath squeaked past last year’s champion team, the Sophs captained by Jon Stern, to win the

THE FRAUD OF MORMOl SM

•«

i ,

v *1 i.:.

. I

■l:

A fter the Mormon Church was founded ** by Joseph Smith in 1S30, its members were driven from one city to another until they final ly reached the territory of Utah in 1847. These years were times of tremendous suffering and hardship for the Mormons. The question im mediately arises, “What made the Mormons so different from others and why were they so terribly persecuted?” The answer lies in the fact that, even though they called themselves Christians, they followed what seemed to many to be an obvious fraud. This fraud had its beginning when Joseph Smith was only 15 years old. He claimed to have had several heavenly visions. On the last of these, the angel Moroni, the son of the sup posed prophet Mormon, led him to some golden plates, buried on a hill near Palmyra, New York. These plates were written in an unknown language and were translated by Joseph Smith, with the aid of the “Urim and Thummim”, found with the plates. After he finished trans lating the plates, the angel conveniently re turned the plates to heaven. The result of his work is the “Book of Mor mon.” This is a book of over 500 pages re counting the history of a family which left

Jerusalem about 600 B C. e father, Lehi, had been inspired to flee »Y ity which was shortly to be destroyed. At . uilding a ship, the family crossed the ocean d landed some where on one of the America1. ontinents. From this family sprang two nanknown as the Nephites and the Lamaniies. For the most part, the Nephites were supposed to be a God fearing people, while the Lain.mites were gen erally wicked. Also recorded in the “Book of Mormon” is the story of Christ's visit to Amer ica following his ascension. After Christ's vis it the people lived in peace for many years. However, as the people prospered they also be came more wicked, and the Nephites were fin ally destroyed by the Lamamites, the forefath ers of the American Indians. The record of these events was given by Mormon, the last of the Nephite prophets, to his son Moroni, who buried them on the Hill Comorah, where Jos eph Smith claimed to have found them years later. The next question which arised is, “Where did the Book of Mormon really come from and who is the author of it?” The answer to this question is well documented but is generally unknown. There is much evidence that the 226

real author of the “Book of Mormon” was Dr. Solomon Spaulding of Conneaut, Ohio. His background would indicate that he was certain ly capable of such a work, for he was educated at Dartmouth College and later studied the ology. He preached for several years in New England until he retired because of ill health. Near his retirement home in Conneaut there were some earth mounds which he excavated and found to contain evidences of a civilized prehistoric race. This discovery greatly excited him and fired his imagination. There had been speculation that the Indians were possibly the lost ten tribes of Israel. Therefore he began to write a new novel. Since he was writing, and so he imitated the Scriptures, as the most ancient book in the world. This novel he called “The Manuscript Found,” which claimed to be an account of the peopling of America by the lost tribes of Israel. He used many names found nowhere else in literature such as Mormon, Moroni, and Nephi While writing the novel, Dr. Spaulding once laughingly remarked to his neighbor Nathan Howard that perhaps in a hundred years this now ild be accepted as true history. When he finished hi ork, Dr. Spaulding took his manuscript to . 1 :ishcr in Pittsburg, named Patterson. Sidn \ don, who was lat er to be a Mormon lead* v is a young printer in Patterson’s office at 11 unc After several weeks Patterson rctur •■! “the Manuscript Found” to Spaulding ft. - iittle more “polish ing up”. During this t \ Rigdon had an ex cellent chance to read tU manuscript or even to copy it. It is probably from Rigdon that Joseph Smith first learned of the manuscript. Soon after the manuscript was returned to him, Dr. Spaulding died. The manuscript was then in the possession of his wife, who moved to her brother's home in Onandoga Valley, New York. When Mrs. Spaulding moved to New York, Joseph Smith, who probably was cur ious about the manuscript, was hired by Mrs. Spaulding’s brother as a teamster. It was at this time that he probably read the manuscript and prepared to use it in one of the greatest frauds ever committed. Several months later Joseph Smith finally revealed his revelations and founded the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. During the months between his job with Mrs. Spaulding’s brother and his founding of the church, neither Smith nor Rigdon met during these months to revise Spauld ing's work and to plan their fantastic scheme. As Mormonism spread, people who were familiar with Spaulding’s work were shocked

when they recognized many of the names used in the “Book of Morman” by Spaulding, such as Mormon, Moroni, and Nephi. These people tried to make their knowledge public through newspapers and magazines. One man named E.D. Howe wrote a book called “Mormonism Unveiled” in which he gave Dr. Spaulding credit for writing the “Book of Mormon”. It was in connection with Howe that Spauld ing's original manuscript was lost. A Dr. Hurlburt came to Mrs. Spaulding and requested the manuscript, so that Howe could compare it with the “Book of Mormon”. After she grudgingly gave up the manuscript, Dr. Hurlburt de livered a fake copy to Howe, and the original copy was never seen again. The fake copy was also lost in a fire which destroyed Howe’s office. It was later learned that Hurlburt was a Mor mon, who was probably sent by Smith to get rid of the evidence. With the loss of the manuscript the tangi ble proof against the Mormons was lost for ever, However, there were dozens of signed affidavits which are evidence enough against the “Book of Mormon”. One such statement is this portion of an affidavit signed by John Spaulding, Solomon’s brother. I have recently read the “Book of Mor mon,” and to my great surprise I find nearly the same historical matter, names, and so, as they were in my brother's writings. I well re member that he wrote in the old style, and commenced about every sentence with “And it came to pass,” the same as in die "Book of Mormon" and according to the best of recol lection and belief it is the same as my brother Solomon wrote, with the exception of the re ligious matter. By what means it has fallen into the hands of Joseph Smith, I am unable to determine. Signed, John Spaulding One final question remains. Why should anyone want to start a hoax like this? This question is not easily answered and only as sumptions can be made. The obvious answer is that Smith and Rigdon saw something adventageous for themselves in this scheme. A statement by Rigdon may provide the motive. Rigdon once said that Kirtland, Ohio, was to be the eastern border of the “promised Land,” and from there it would extend to the Pacific Ocean. Perhaps they were seeking wealth or even to be rulers of a new empire stretching across America. Whatever their motives were, they clearly failed. There were eleven other men who witnessed the plates before the angel took them back to heaven. Of these, six left

the church. It can be assumed that they were also members of the plot and probably became disenchanted with the scheme. Whatever their reasons, they would never have left the church if they had really seen the golden plates.

Today people often just tend to laugh off the Mormons as a strange sect that no sane person would ever join. However, today the Mormon Church has over two million members and is increasing rapidly. An unpaid two-year missionary service, which is expected of every young Mormon, is the chief factor in the rapid growth of this church body today. Therefore the Mormon church is just as much and even more of a threat than other false churches. Many have died rather than reject the “Book of Mormon,” so don't take them lightly.

‘

Whether the true history of the “Book of Mormon" is proved or not makes little differ ence. Their clear rejection of Christ's atone' ment for our sins should be a deterrent enough for any Christian. The third of their “Arti cles of Faith” reads: “We believe that through the atonement of Christ all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.” Notice that it does not say that Christ saved us, but that we “may be saved” by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.” In other words, Jesus is not our Savior but only the example by which we may save ourselves. Since God's plan of sal vation is completely contradicted, we have no other course than to repudiate the “Book of Mormon” and consider it the work of false prophets. Paul Reede '72

GO VIRGIL. ni

* I.

A LMOST two months ago an event took place which is still very vivid in my mind, and will remain vivid for many years to come. That event was the night when renowned organist Virgil Fox came to Uhlein Hall of the Perform ing Arts Center, Milwaukee. With him Fox brought the Rodger’s Touring Organ, an elec tronic instrument built to play classical music, and a light show which made the performance not only a listening experience, but also visual. The program, entirely Bach, was presented in such a way that even the person who is not a confirmed fan of classical music thoroughly enjoyed the performance — perhaps even with a good amount of excitement. It was a concert, not of a stiff, white shirt and black tie nature, but rather it was an intimate listening exper ience with the music of the great J. S. Bach. Just what exactly inspired this man Bach to such great height is music? In the opinion of Fox and many others who have researched the life of Bach, the many compositions which seem endless in number for the organ, were written by a man who had a simple, and humble re spect for the Lord God. It was his faith indeed that inspired him to give the church of all ages since that time all the beautiful renditions of

odes and fugues hymn tunes. Even the which were not based on mil tunes have a certain quality about the hich make them so very fit for the chur Perhaps it is the person who possesses the s e simple, firm faith which the composer had. v :-,o also best under stands the full majesty of the compositions and their wonderful splendor. But now as for the performance itself — I can only say — WOW! Fox did not merely step out on stage and play the selections he had chosen, but gave much more meaning to the program with numerous comments on the selections, and views on the man Bach himself. Fox is to be sure one of the world's leading organ ists. I don’t mean to sound like a Donny Os mond fan shreeking cries of ecstasy over a per formance. But all who were there that night and witnessed the display of musicianship would have to agree with the excitement the program generated. Sure, if you listened closely you could detect a few errors which on record would simply be edited. But I really don't think anyone could have cared, plainly because they were so inconsequential. Fox has a certain distinctive style about him, sort of a showman yet great proponent of Bach all rolled into one.

i .

228

It is this very style which helps to get the audi ence really involved in the concert. One is bet ter able to understand what he is hearing, and also then better appreciate that music. He brings Bach down to the listening level of the average person who would otherwise not pay much attention to classical music. Yet the true Bach is still there, rendered in performance with as much dignity and truth as any other concert organist could strive to give it. For a person to say, “Just let the notes interpret themselves,” is obviously absurd. Fox in his own style interprets Bach with great sincerity and dignity. As a pedalist, Fox rates at the top in my book. Even while watching him perform the pedal solo Perpetuum Mobile, by Wilhelm Middleschulte, it was difficult to believe that the man was using only his feet in playing the number. One could hardly keep track of them as they literally danced over the pedalboard. Little wonder that the composer wrote the piece especially for Virgil Fox. Perhaps the highlight • the performance, if one could determine • :.:ghpoint from the seemingly many, was ti ; the Passacaglia and Fugue in C Mine This composition is often called the greatcall Bach’s works for the organ. After k Fox play the se lection, and witnessing o sight show coupled with it, it is easy to und, , .d why it is called the greatest. The Rodger’s Organ hself gave quite a performance. At coundx times the quality of the sound was so close to that of an actual pipe organ that one could easily have been de ceived. The amplification for the instrument is astounding. There are 144 speakers which are separated into 13 divisions. Each of the divisions in turn is powered by a 100 watt am plifier. The resulting capabilities are tremen dous! But Fox does not shun the pipe organ. By no means! Built into his home in New Jer sey is a $250,000 pipe organ, consisting of 3,500 pipes! The entire program lasted a fantastic two and a quarter hours. Fox received three greatly deserved standing ovations, and was indeed generous with not one, but five encores! After such a performance the best I can do is to mimic an individual that can be heard over the rest of the crowd on the Fillmore East recording. "Go Virgil!”

TJumphrey Bogart looks up at the judge A and says, “I knew I done wrong but I'm gonna see that those dirty bums dat killed my brudder get whats cornin' to 'em." The police men escort him down the long corridor to death row. His devoted wife, weeping in anguish, is restrained by her mother, who says, "Don't worry my dear, you’ll find another.” The or chestra background swoops in with sleczy vio lins distorted by the worn-out sound track. Block letters spelling "The End” leap onto the screen clouded by little bits of lint and dust. The Paramount mountain follows up with its ring of stars and its tiny roman numerals MCMXLII tacked at the bottom next to the copyright insignia. The screen cancels out, and then suddenly Veg-o-matics leap into the pic ture dicing onions, slicing tomatoes "like warm butter”, and with a flick of the dial, they can make up to 3600 American fries an hour. "It comes with an easy to read booklet and costs only $9.95 — but for this TV special, the Veg-o-matic comes to you for only $7.77. This is not a toy. — Here's how to order.” A nasalish voice reads off the address of the TV station, emphasizing the words "please rush me” and “sorry, no C.O.D.” The screen darkens and then lightens again revealing Phil Tolkan ripping the price stickers off his new Pontiacs — pointing his index finger at the audience and stating point blankly that we should see him first or last or something. After a remind er to keep Judge Seraphim (even though the polls had closed 6 hours earlier) and a notice to all young men that the Army would like to join them, an anemic electronic organ slides into “Just a Closer Walk With Thee.” On a background of flower-design simulated church window glass shine the imposing yet pastoral words "Pause for Meditation.” The same nasalish voice cuts in again as the organist negoti ates a decrescendo and introduces the subtle soap opera leslie vibrato. The voice blares out, "This station begins and ends each of its broad cast days with a message of personal impor tance to our listeners of all faiths. Brought to you tonight by Sly Clide’s Recreation Center at 3rd and Garfield — Tonite the meditation is by the Very Very Reverend Doctor Clide Foley, pastor of the Triumph Church of the 230

Sepulchre. And here is Reverend Foley." Then immediately at stage front is a black robed clerical collared cleric. Besides his triple chins and sweaty brow, the most striking thing about him is his omnipresent smile. No matter what he does with his face and mouth, the smile is always there. No matter what words he is shaping or what emotion he is trying to con vey, the smile stays intact. His voice is excep tionally smooth and loaded with legato. It could just as well be the same Veg-o-matic voice. One almost can imagine Fuller brushes or Cutco cookbooks under his grown. With only a few minutes to work, he has to get his theme sentence right off. This is rarely a Scripture text but usually something that sounds right from the cover of a Reader's Digest. Tonight's theme for meditation is: Are you too good to be good? The organ tapers off into oblivion. He fumbles with his cue cards but begins to roll into his pi»ch. Catch phrases fly by like: "We and eve one in the world are all truly brothers" or “:..et us try to emu late the good life of Chn '.r “You are saved by what you do — let us he nited in all things for the advancement of ma In perfect form he raises and lowers his voice, but can not keep track of which camera is i:c one functioning at the precise moment. Invariably there is a human-interest story thrown in as a sort of parable, which, in turn, usually ends in a gen eral statement to the effect that our faith in each other is the essence of our faith in God, whatever that means. The drama is increased in Bangladesh. The climax is reached when the three minutes are about to end. The camera zooms in for a full-face close-up. The organ suddenly reappears from nowhere. The vibra to is floating across the waves like cream cheese. The sweat is pouring down his chins. He pauses and then expounds: “Believe in others and you will be able to believe in yourself." Two min utes more of Ken-L-Ration, the little girl from the telephone company, and then the Star Spangled Banner with the biplanes flying over it in the background. On page 327 of the 1970 Britannica Boo\ of the "Year, upper left hand corner, we see Spiritus Radicalus Defunctus Groppi arm in arm forming a body link chain fence in front

The grimacing looks on the faces of the Afros forming the human barricade reflect a sense of determination as the white hard hats look on in derision. The Father’s face is turned to what is evidently a Milwaukee policeman who is shouting something to him. The Padre has an expression on his face denoting an attitude which would shout, “Don’t hassle me oinker or I’ll sig my commandos on you.” The link of the fence just to the left of Groppi is holding a sign most adroitly scrawled with the words: “Allen-Bradley Unfair to Minorities.” Unless the shadows are deceiving, it seems that in the stuggle to maintain the perimeter of defense, the Father has gotten a pit on

The Berkeley Barb stands as one of the old liners of the underground press in the U.S., dating all the way back to 1966 when founder' editor Max “The Kosher Pig” Scherr peddled 1,200 weekly issues himself to the awakening hip community in the San Francisco Bay area. Today The Barb has an international readership and brings in over $5,000 weekly to Scherr. Unlike most of the other underground papers in the country, which have used sex and pornos as mere come'ons for the heart of the newspaper’s material which was political revolution, Scherr’s newspaper at various times and at varying degrees has been crammed with purely sex-oriented articles and illustrations and has depended a great deal on this aspect of his paper for its popularity. Scherr’s paper’s birth just happened to coincide with the flower ing of the Sexual Freedom League, which in Frisco is as necessary as a “League for Greater Interest in Bowling” would be on the south side of Milwaukee. But the real bite of The Barb, at least for anyone who does not go ape over the Angela Davis-Bobby Seale radical propaganda, is the want ads in the back. Be sides the never-ending Swedish massages and the innumerable male model outcalls, there are a certain number that an. • special attention. One announced a spec!..! symposium on the sex life of Jesus with a.-- nee participation reenactments and for an d attraction, free enemas would be admin:d to all. McCartney sings “Gn Ireland Back to the Irish,” and others look t<< history of visible Christianity and say, “W-u’ve crusaded and you’ve inquisitioned, you v. murdered the Jews, you’ve caused the majoriiy of the wars since the Dark Ages, you’ve exploited nearly all the primitive peoples in the world, and now it’s be cause of you and your ideals that blood is flow ing in the streets of Belfast and Londonderry. The world would have been better off without Christianity. All it has caused is trouble.”

The only common denominator among the preceding instances of indictment against our religion is that the problems caused “by” Chris tianity in the past and today are actually just results of persons acting in the name of the church (in one capacity or another) and being guided by personal ulterior motives. This is guilt by association in its most devastating scale. Talk about bum raps, Humphrey Bo gart.

Tj OR the twentieth time tn the last few minutes, the lieutenant wo.uily craned his neck and scanned the horizon jiemy planes with n Although he eyes that refused to st.; saw nothing, his uneas persisted. “If a bunch of Fokkers spot n, .v, I’m dead,” he mused. The Spad he \v. • ng was as full of bullet holes as a sieve; pi : fabric from the upper wing of his plan'.red in the slipstream, From time to ti; engine coughed, but always regained its just as it seemed to be about to fall into ' ; spin. -h fighting for the The lieutenant was day. Only minutes befi .c and two other fighters from the 199th : . -uit Squadron had been attacked by a roving - k of Fokkers. Ah though he had shot down two and helped to chase off the rest, his plane was only very pre cariously aloft, and his companions had had to make forced landings in No-Man's Land. For a brief moment he allowed his mind to wander. This phase of the war had been going particularly badly for the Allies. Two major German offensives had driven them back as far as the Marne, and they were massing for a third push. The Allied flyers took off morn ing after morning on their patrols in battered planes against the Germans' new Fokkers and Albatrosses, staggered back again for refueling, and trundled off again into the skies. Day and night the earth trembled from the concussions of exploding shells; the heavy artillery never ceased. His ship shuddered as the engine began to miss again. “It’s got a right to,” he thought, after all it's been through.” 233

Suddenly his eyes narrowed. Three black specks had appeared directly on the horizon, about a thousand feet lower than he. As he watched, the lead plane nosed upward to gain altitude. '‘Jerries! They’ve seen me for sure,” he groaned, and his shoulders slumped. He had no way of escape, because of the ruined con' dition of his Spad. He could never outrun them. Sick with despair, he racked his brains. ‘‘I've got one chance.” Pulling back on the stick, he climbed for a cloud bank overhead, praying that it would be long enough to hide him until they were up close enough. The cottony clamminess enshrouded him. The lieutenant’s lean body was now as taut as piano wire despite his fatigue. His eyes flicked from the altimeter to the waning needle of the gas gauge, back to the altimeter. In wardly, he was resigned to what had to hap pen; the minute he broke out of the clouds, it would be do or die. Slowly he lowered his plane until, through the swirling haze, he could see the Boche trio several hundred feet beneath him, trying to guess where he would pop out. “Well, here goes,” he said half-humoredly, shoving the stick all the way forward. The s:ngle-seater, urged by its own weight, rapidly picked up speed and bored for the Fokkers. The hum of the wires and struts changed to a shriek as the air-speed indicator needle leaned crazily to the right. Stabbing flames belched from the exhaust stacks. The terrific airstream tearing at his goggles, he set his sights on the nearest of the three and clamped his hand on the gun control.

Too late the Fokkers saw where he was coming from; too late they scattered from that single stuttering muzzle. The lead plane twist' ed and writhed under the withering hail of lead, but could not escape the howling speed of the attacker's dive. The Maltese-crossed wings dipped once, twice, then flipped over backwards, out of control, billowing black smoke. The lieutenant immediately pulled the stick straight back and almost stood the screaming Spad on its tail as a stream of tracers kicked up splinters in the floor of the cockpit. Now it was his turn to twist and dodge. He dipped his nose and went into a sideslip, kicked the rudder bar viciously, and spun the plane around hard, a maneuver that would have stop ped the heartbeat of its designer. That same move, however, brought him underneath the other Fokker and he raked its unprotected un dercarriage, hoping for a lucky hit. The lieutenant was suddenly conscious of a maddening throb in his left leg. He glanced down to see it soaked in blood. The pain made him bite his lip to concentrate on flying. Curs ing, he wrenched his battered ship almost on a dime as a stream of bullets curiously removed some of the gauges from the instrument panel. For a brief instant his attacker's Fokker swam before his blurry vision. Mechanically his fist contracted on the trigger of his Lewis, and his tracers swept the enemy's fuselage from stem to stern. His shoulders sagged in relief as the Heinie stiffened and slumped in the cockpit and

the plane fell into its last spin, its tail straight up. Now there was only one left. The lieuten ant shook the fog out of his senses and threw his riddled Spad into every maneuver he knew to shake the Fokker, but it still hung on his tail, its Spanda chattering mercilessly. His en gine was missing badly now. “Must be oil fouling the plugs,” he thought, “won’t be long now.” Banking sharply to the right, he looped high for altitude and slammed the Spad into a whining dive, praying that the Spad’s super ior diving ability would keep him out of the German's range. When he was within a few hundred feet of the ground, he kicked the rud der bar left and almost pulled the stick out by the roots. As the battered ship heaved itself up, he executed a tight Immelmann which brought the surprised Jerry squarely in his sights. He never remembered pressing the gun con trol, never heard the Fokker s gas tank explode and its engine burst into flame, never saw its fiery crash over the trench; Reviving momentaryily as his plane side: :d dangerously, he flew subconsciously tow. the 199th’s air vay. drome, now less than a mi The ship bounced high : lie air from his clumsy landing.

T HE center of attention is Gaius Caesar. You * probably know him better by his nickname. In childhood he was given the name “Caligula” (little boot) by the Rhine army, which his father Germanicus commanded from 12A.D. to 16A.D. His father, mother, and two older brothers died allegedly with the blessings of Emperor Tiberius. Yet Caligula received a good education during his early twenties when he was living under the eyes of Tiberius on the island of Capreae. He became a fearless critic in literature as in everything else. Neither Virgil nor Livy were favored by him. He considered Virgil a man of no genius and of little learning, and Homer he remarked that Plato was the only

man who treated him properly, when he ex pelled him from his ideal state. Seneca was beginning his literary career, and Caligula thought he wrote shocking stuff. He declared that his writings lacked body and that his plays were theatrical displays. His fierce criticism caused many contemporary historians to be rather crude in their descriptions of Caligula. Even when we take their reports with a grain of salt, Caligula seems to be a personifi cation of the evils which characterized the age. He was extravagant, to say the least. He liked to dress in silk garments studded with jewels. He dissolved pearls in vinegar and then drank them. He gave golden loaves of bread to his guests and golden barley to his horse. He built

galleys, "with ten men to an oar, with sterns set with gems, particolored sails, huge spacious baths, colonnades and banquet halls, and even a great variety of vines and fruit trees." In these ships he sailed along the Campanian shores. But it must be remembered that he was not the only extravagant man of his time. In his love affairs Caligula was immoral, judging both by modern standards and by the standards of his own day. He was married four times. The first three wives were dropped for a variety of reasons, but his marriage to Caesonia proved to be completely successful. Caligula has been charged with the seductions of other men’s wives and with unnatural af fections. He certainly was not a model of selfrestraint, but his biographers did tend to spice up the stories in order to get back at their un sympathetic critic. He was especially delighted by the enter tainment of the day. He interested himself per sonally in the perform and frequently was seen in the company of . . «rs and charioteers. This association with rh disreputable people shocked the more con . - ve element of Ro man society. Caligula seemed to normal young man. He had his faults, but were the faults of the age. When he ! •nc emperor in 37 A.D., he was immeno ;*ular with the Ro.1 y his actions be man people. Then s." came increasingly pec lli 38A.D. he executed Naevius Serto Marco. Marco was the prefect of the pm n guard, the man who had supported C; ; . in his bid for the throne. Caligula begat chink of himself as divine and began to shir.* unnatural affection toward his sisters. The summer of 39A.D. found him bridging the Bay of Naples with boats. While preparing for an expedition to England in 40A.D., he ordered his troops to pick up seashells. Some say that he even made his horse consul. There is no suggestion that Caligula was a habitual drunk as some modern historians have conjectured. It is therefore improbable that his eccentric behavior can be explained by the fact that he was intoxicated at the time. It was the belief of many of his contempor aries that he was mentally unbalanced. Philo, Josephus, and Cassius Dio, in one way or an other, mention this problem. Seneca insisted that the pallor of his face was evidence of his insanity, and Tacitus refers to him as having a “turbata mens’’ or confused mind. Yet these are only occasional references, and nowhere is

he shown simply as a madman. Like Julius Caesar, it is probable that he suffered from epileptic fits. But his great popularity upon gain ing the throne cannot be explained unless he was perfectly normal at the time. Cassio Dio characterized Caligula as a man of contradiction and inconsistency. He was an ultra-democrat at first, and then he became an autocrat. He attracted women and then spurn ed them. He abused the memory of Tiberius and later praised him. He first forbade the wor ship of himself and then encouraged it.

Philo seems to throw some light on his mys terious conduct. He believed that the serious illness which Caligula suffered at the end of 37A.D. left its mark upon his character. He said that although Caligula recovered, he was afterwards a cruel tyrant. This theory neatly explains why Rome could rejoice at his acces sion and then feel little sorrow over his death four years later. Unfortunately no other writ er supports Philo's explanation. Suetonius too had his theory as to what caused Caligula's actions. He reported that Caesonia gave her husband a love potion which drove him out of his mind, but Suetonius like

wise has no one else to back him up. It is certain that by 39A.D. Caligula had changed, especially in his attitudes toward the Senate. Then for the first time he realized that his life was in danger from plots. Caligula feared assassination, and fear breeds cruelty. The facts which are recorded make it clear that he changed even more in the course of that year, but the records do not say that he was in sane or that he was actually any different from his former self. His fears proved to be correct. A conspir acy had formed against him, and Caligula was murdered at the Palatine games by a tribune of the guards on January 24, 41 A.D. But was he mad? His actions lead one to think he was. However, the accounts of his reign by ancient historians are so biased that it is hard to separ ate fact from fiction. Caligula was immensely popular when he became emperor, even though he was not an experienced administrator, yet he became hated enough to ! e killed. There are many questions surrounding Caligula ques tions for which we do not h concrete ans wers. J.K.

More often than not all parties con cerned break out the gloves, earmuffs, and runny noses one more time.

sports activities for Trojan fans. Coach Ed Pieper's squad generally heads down the pike with a fair shake of success, and this year should be more of the same. Sorely missed will be the hitting, pitching, and tomfoolery of Rog Schultz; however, names like Dolan, Ehlke, Kuerth, Meier, and May should do well to carry on the colors of NWC. Due to the acci dent incurred by stalwart backstopper “Skin ny" Rick Zahn, the catching department could be a leak in the armor, but there is a handful of capable candidates for the spot. Pitching should be handled well by the likes of Schu macher, Toepel (?), Sutton (?), and Swanson. Add to that, some other good hitters and Milton should have some sweat to win the cham pionship once again.

As has happened quite often in recent years, our tennis team should raise quite a ‘racquet.’ Coached by J.J. Plitzuweit, well schooled as to how the Greeks netted the old ball, last year’s team enjoyed considerable success, and the re turn of Scott Stone, Mark Jeske, Phil Schupmann, and Dan Schaller should help again. 1•

NWC’s golden-clubbed duffers of fairway and bunker, coached by Prof. Don Sellnow, no relation to Jack Nicklaus, will again try to master all the shots in Gary Griep’s “How to Golf" book to try and keep those shiny new golf balls away from errant water hazards. In the meantime, perhaps, Messrs. Griep, A. Schwartz (as in black), Noffzinger, Kolberg (if he gets his mind off Florida), and Biedenbender will in some way crack the 80 barrier. A free Blac\ V Red to anyone who gets the elusive hole in one. Whoopee! Cheap thrills! The upcoming track season has has been capably handled by noted sports authority of NWC, Beck McGoldbeek, parttime athlete. With a nose like his, ya’ can’t help getting mixed up in sports of all sorts. Randy Matson is still waiting for a one-on-one chance with ya' Beaker.

Now let’s set the lineup of the men and their events. Dan Garbow and Beck Goldbeck are the incumbent weightmen. Little Bob Jen sen provides help in the dashes and hurdles. Two freshmen who compete iia the hurdles are Mark Eubank and Mike Burow. New Ulm's carrot top, Jim Huebner, will try the long, triple, and high jump events. Phil Hoyer is a pole vaulter and high jump :r as is John Berg. The 440 has Pieter Reid .nd Jay Gottshalk carrying NWC’s colors. nior Dale Tollefson and freshman Greg Ov ns are this year's 880 men. Competitors in mile and two mile events are Barney Leh; Paul Scharrcr, Gary Wagner, Ed You*: Keith Ray, and Steve Hanke. Cary Giv nd Mike Turriff are working on several ; vs and haven't as yet found their specialty And when Mark Toepel can get away fn>.< he baseball team, he will be high jumping. The Trojans should be improved over last year. The goal of winning he conference has been set, and if everybody really comes through, NWC could surprise some people. The longer distance races and the weight events are the most questionable right now, but the potential to be at least representative is there. Nine meets are on the schedule and will provide a real challenge for the trackmen. Coach Thomp son hopes that this year the sport will really get rolling with increased popularity and per haps will soon gain recognition as a major sport. The head mentor is pleased with the turnout of athletes this year, but he could use more the talent available on campus. If you are inclined to give track a try, make that break and come out. You may be the next Dr. Merriweather. Beek McGoldbeek '73

G.P.S. 240

Again this spring the fancies of some North' western men are turning to our newest sport, track. This year there are 23 Trojan thinclads to begin the third track season in NWC his tory. Coach Thompson is depending on two seniors for stellar performances. These cinder men are Steve Hintz and Glen Thompson. Steve will probably be on the mile and 440 relay teams, and he will run the 440. The weights, dashes, long and triple jumps, and the relays are all events in which Glen might participate. He is the most talented trackster on the squad and will be counted on for lots of points.

THE LOVE OF CHRIST CONSTRAINED US . . . What the world needs now is love, sweet love; it's the only thing that there's much too little of . . . T OVE. That’s a pretty big word. Big enough to warrant the thousands upon thousands of pages which philosophers and others have devoted to it; to take upon itself the surname of a universal principle; to, consequently, also play a large role in the life of each and every individual who has been, is, or will be living on this earth. That’s quite a span of time to cover. Perhaps the logical question at this point would be to ask if this principle of love has un^ dergone any transforma; vn or change through out the ages. The an ato such a question will serve as the basis < the investigation of this article into the tho f love. At the out set, the reader is asked keep in mind that unfortunately English •, has one word, love, to describe two Greek . ..is, Eros and Agape, ns, throughout the To avoid confusion of ■ Agape unless desarticle “Love" will ref : c will be working cribed otherwise. Th with two principles of ! c. Eros and Agape, whose definitions and qu ties will be unfolded and enlarged upon as w • progress. Before jumping into the ocean the swimmer must be aware of what he is up against, that is, the tides, ocean floor, etc. In much the same way a researcher must learn to recognize all signs which may help to lead him to his pro jected goal or answer. He must train himself to discover first the basis with which he will be working and then to build up from that point. This, especially, should be without fail the rule-of-thumb in theological matters. Yet we know that all too often this is not the case since "... we all have departed from that total plan (the plan of Salvation) in different ways, and each of us wants to make out that his own modification of the original plan is the plan itself. We find that again and again about anything that is really Christian: every one is attracted by bits of it and wants to pick out those bits and leave the rest.’’ We’d rather compose our own eclectic lyrics which seem to us to have a much sweeter tone than the 242

dense and harsh-sounding chords of thorough research. It's much easier to make words say what you want them to say than to let them do the talking. Herein lies the crux of the matter: the philosophers, specifically the situationists, have one definition of Love and the theologians, another. The situationist approach es Love cgocentrically and the “theologians (we refer to Paul and John of the New Testa ment),'” theocentrically, both supposedly rally ing around the motif or fundamental concept of Love. The concept of Agape or Christian Love is not difficult to grasp in and of itself; it is when the unChristian concept of Eros or sen sible (sensual) love is made to adhere to Agape that the difficulty begins. In fact, it is this strife between Agape and Eros that gives heed to the very Christian idea of Agapeic Love itself: “It is the story of how the Agape motif and the Aros motif encounter one another; how they become so intertwined that it is almost impossible to disentangle them; how Agape has always had to be asse i ng itself afresh lest it should be quite overwhelmed by Eros; and how it sometimes break out, if only at isolated points in Christian :■ «.ory with all its original force. The history «>. die idea of Aga pe thus presents itself to us - a tense drama, which forms the inside stor so to speak, of the development of Christ! iy." It is too bad that the combined powers of language and tradition have confused these two totally different concepts of love, for now the connection between then; is no longer selfevident, but rather is problematic. But yet there is a further confounding of the problem: there are two types of Eros; 1) one which binds the soul more firmly to things sensible and material, that is, vulgar Eros and 2) the philo sophical Eros which strives to set the soul free from the fetters of sense and raise it up to the supersensible, heavenly world, that is, heaven ly or Platonic Eros. “The mistake is commonly made of representing Agape as a higher and more spiritualized form of Eros, and of sup posing that the sublimation of Eros is the way to reach Agape. The thought of ‘the heavenly Eros" reminds us that that is not the case; for heavenly Eros may be a sublimation. The heav enly Eros is the highest possible thing of its kind; it has been spiritualized to an extent be yond which it is impossible to go. Agape stands alongside, not above, the heavenly Eros; the difference between them is not one of degree but of kind. There is no way, not even that 244

of sublimation, which leads over from Eros to Agape.” In other words, they do not represent the same value in their respective contexts, so that they cannot in any circumstances be rightly substituted for one another. The situ ation^ doesn't pay attention to this statement. In situation ethics, which is a compilation of the situationist's moral dogmas, Agapeic Love is revered. Yet in their admiration of the same they downgrade it. As was mentioned before, they make Love an egocentric thing, make it relevant to their needs, and thereby taint pure Agape with Eros desires. They continually try to reduce God's moral laws as He set down in the Ten Commandments to ‘'act responsibly in Love.'' They believe as does Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who is of their ranks, that "principles arc only tools in God's hands, soon to be thrown away as unserviceable.'' Law and Love become "God and Mammon" (or visa versa) and, hence, impossible to serve to gether as one. So then Love, ironically, they make a principle, the only principle that ought to be followed! They u.-v the Law as an illu minator, not as a dire They will admit, however, that if any lav. .iner than Love are followed, they ought done for Love's sa\c — for practical or ent reasons: “The triple terrors of infect i inception, and de tection which once scar-. eople into 'Christ ian' sex relations (mam. nopoly) have pret ty well become obsolete ought medicine and urbanism. There is les i loss cause, on the basis of situation ethic . r the opinion that people should abide by, v pretend to, an ideal or standard that is not ■•. own. It may well be, especially with the y oung, that situationists should advise continence or chastity for practi cal expedient reasons, but that is a situation, not a legalistic approach.' As can be noted from the quotation, those who do obey the moral law are tagged as legalists and the situationist advises them (those who "bind them selves up thusly”) that "to learn Love's sensisive (Eros!) tactics, such people are going to have to put away their childish rules.” The situationist thereby has transformed —• rather, deformed — Love in his subduing of his conscience by letting right and wrong be guided by his ego rather than by moral law. Using false exegesis, he interprets Christ's state ment about being free from the law to come to mean that he is not bound to any law. He overlooks original sin, finding it difficult to ex plain the presence of evil in a world created by a God who is both all-powerful and alldoving. 245

In his freedom he binds himself slavishly to an adulterated “Agape" — “We find nothing in the teaching of Jesus about the ethics of sex, except adultery and an absolute condemnation of divorce — a correlative matter. He said nothing about birth control, large or small families, childlessness, homosexuality, masturbation, fornication, or premarital intercourse, sterilization, artificial insemination, abortion, sex play, petting, and courtship. Whether any form of sex (hetero, homo, or auto) is good or evil depends on whether love is fully served.” — “Be ye therefore PERFECT as your Father in heaven is perfect" is labeled as impossible for man and is left at that. And Agape? They have not Agape. What they have is heavenly Eros at the best! It is only when one looks at Pauline and Johannine Agape that he sees Love in all its Splendor and Glory; Paul who in joining Love to his theology of the Cross elevates Agape to its highest expression and John who reaches the supreme formal statem •' of “God is Aga pe." Take a look at Paul’s conversion on the way averted from his to Damascus. Was he no dom" (cf. Mark own righteousness for “?

Paul didn’t throw out the moral law — he looked upon each commandment as “in reality merely so many calls for the manifestation of Love in the various areas of life (Luther)." In his theology of the Cross, Paul determines the character of Agape as the character of his new, Christian relationship to God, just as the Law had determined the character of his pre-Christ ian realationship to God. So there is a trans formation rather than a deformation of Agape: the old Testamental Sacramental laws, no long er binding, spoke of the coming Agape and of man’s way to God through sacrifices. The new commandment of Love (the summary of the Law) gives us God’s way to man through the Sacrifice of His Son, and also does not give an explanation of the idea of Love as such, but gives an insight into the Christian concep tion of Agape that enables us to grasp the Christian meaning of the commandment.

the switch from the situationist’s egocentrical attitude to Paul’s theocentric attitude! “The Christian lives ‘in Christ’ and Christ lives and works in him; he is ‘constrained by the Agape of Christ,’ or ‘led by the Spirit,’ and the stream of Love that has been poured out of his heart flows forth to his neighbor. Its nature is such that it cannot be damned up, but makes its way out to its neighbors; for ‘Love seeketh not its own, I Cor, 13:5. The Christian has now through God’s Love has stepped into a new relationship with God. Love then becomes more than human love; it becomes the Divine Love of God Himself, a Love that is both subjective and objective in its scope. The Christian too believes (as does the situationist) that Love is threfore a princi ple, and a theocentric Love, not egocentric.

Agapeic Love is the breath which God breathed into our nostrils at creation and again at our renovation through Baptism. We are made in the image of Agape. And this Love, since it is of God must be 1) spontaneous, 2) unmotivated (unbiased towards its object and therefore doesn’t take its motivation from an external source, rather internal), 3) ere' ative, that is, it creates values and is not dependent upon the recognition of a valuable quality in its object. But can man have Agape' ic Love for God? “The Love God has shown to us through the death of His Son on the Cross is for Paul so ABSOLUTE, so utterly spon' taneous and unmotivated, that Agape is as the name of this Divine Love can no longer fitting' ly be used for human love, which can never be in the same sense spontaneous and creative.” Paul resolves this dilemma by stating that man’s devotion to God must therefore be given a new name; not Agape, but Pistis or trust. Man’s trust for God must also be new and in a measure never before asked or practised as is God’s Love for Man; he must have com plete and full confidence in his Risen Savior as the joyous Easter hymn (Lutheran hymnal #201), written by Christian Gellert shouts out in every stanza. He must live a life of faith, a life where Love is simply faith in action, a life that can only be a life of Love in-so-far as it is a life of Faith. The Johannine principle of Love, culminating in the statement that “God is Love” also comes into the picture of such a life of faith when it states that “herein is Love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, I John 4:10” and that those that refuse such a life of faith by refusing to love God (in the full sense of Agape) knows not God, I John 4:8.

Thus the Christian will let Love rule his hu man love and reason, keeping his Christian freedom truly free. For example, he will not go along with the opinion of certain psycholo gists whp state that “repressed sex is danger ous.” ^ Agape will say that “ . . . repressing doesn’t mean having a conscious desire and re sisting it. It means being so frightened of some impulse that you don’t let it become conscious at all, so that it goes down into the subcon scious and causes trouble. Resisting a conscious desire is quite a different matter, and never did anyone any harm yet.” Living in this age of permissiveness, the Christian will learn to de cide the right and the wrong through the in fluence of the Agape of God. 247

Yes, we as Christians will have to agree that “what the world needs now is Love, sweet Love,” but it must be the pure Love of God, an ABSOLUTE and THEOCENTRIC LOVE. For it makes all the difference in the world, this world and the next also, whether we are interested in God as the One who can satisfy all the needs and desires of our egos, or as the Sovereign Lord who has ABSOLUTE author ity over the ego. Love is born of God, not of us. It is the new wine that inevitably bursts the old wineskins of our own righteousnessess and brings us into a close fellowship with God (Agape). It is this Love that the world sorely needs — the Love of Christ which constains us in all things. D.K.

Welcome to the final issue of the most glor ious and most spectacular 7 5 th anniversary volume which the faithful B&R readers have ever experienced! (The worth of that state ment can be measured by two basic consider ations. First of all, it is a well-established fact that 75-year anniversaries roll around only once every 75 years. Secondly, for the past six months I have been diligently searching for a faithful reader of The Blac\ and Red, and I have yet to find one!) In this issue I would like to extend my sincere apologies to all those whom I have offended by my belligerent re marks. It is a somewhat truthful, generally accepted universal truth, accepted generally throughout most of the inhabited world, that anything which appears in the CfcPC column is to be taken as a grain of salt, but only I know what my real motivations and intentions have been. As long as I’m on a farewell kick, I would like to express a sincere vote of confi dence in the staffers of the 76th volume, who have recently been the victims of another rig ged jB6?R “election.” I know that they will do their worst to carry on the warped traditions of this periodical, a magazine with so much punch and pertinence to the problems and frustra tions of contemporary college campus life.

No human could ever or really would ever try to comprehend how many man-hours of ostentatious labor, how many miles of red tape, and how many tons of memos and official documents are consumed, and most important ly, how much stuck-in-the-mire conservatism is irradiated from our called professors.

EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MISSOURI SYNOD * * - But were afraid to as\ AAOST of you probably know all you want about the LC-MS, you know that there is a strong liberal element y . ; know that many doubt the inerrancy of the H y Scriptures. It is even rumored that some • the more leftwing members have gone so r as to deny the virgin birth of their preskk The trend to ward liberalism was form: somewhat re stricted to the synodical -archy and the younger pastors and the p. \ of the English District. However, in recc cars, this trend has changed. The sting of ■ hssouri loyalism with its poisonous infection - permeated the staunchest of congregations a introduced the heresy of liberal thinking. The greatest theologian in Missouri’s long and colorful history once said to a convention of that body's pastors, “A matter of greatest importance for a synodical body is pure doc trine and knowledge. A synod is known to be a part of the Church of God on earth, its marks are therefore also that in it the Gospel is preached in its purity and the holy sacraments are administered according to the Gospel.” C.F.W. Walther has long been revered and accepted as the leading theologian in American Lutheranism. He and a group of conservative pastors sought to establish a church union which would perpetuate that philosophy. How ever, a number of the men who now are in volved in the hierarchy of that body would much prefer that Walther and all for which he stood be forgotten. The original constitution of the synod, which was drawn up under the influence of C.F.W. Walther, stated that the doctrines of that synod would always be dictated by the

Word of God and the confessional writings of the Lutheran Church. They still maintain that this is the dictating force in the determining of the policies of the synod. This is true to an extent, but the prevailing climate among their theologians gives them the right of Higher Cri ticism of the Bible; this shades many of the resolutions which now come from the synod’s doctrinal commission. This past month a group of 25 or more pas tors from the Cleveland area have threatened to initiate action against Dr. Preus because of his “unreasonable stand on the inerrancy of Holy Scripture.” They do not want him to in sist that Jonah and Job actually existed. They want it taught that they were mythical figures. They also claim that Christ was mistaken about the authenticity of Old Testament History. He was mistaken in quoting in the first five books of the Bible as those of Moses because it is ob vious in their estimation that, for various rea sons, Moses could not have written them. Dr. Preus recently published a small book supporting the inerrancy of Scripture. The book, It Is Written, was reviewed as being a new twist to old theology. The reviewer seem ed to think that Doctor Preus had flipped out of his theological tree to claim something so contrary to established liberal thinking. Dr. Preus, however, won’t have to worry about what his people think about him for too long a time anymore because the New Orleans convention should prove to be the last blow for the conservative element of the synod. The two political camps are rapidly forming. The liberals have accused Dr. Preus of buying votes to achieve his election in Denver. Now they

have been said to be planning to retaliate by railroading the esteemed Dr. Oswald Hoffman into the presidency. This is not definite but merely speculation among people because of Hoffman's popularity. Hoffman, the Saint of The Lutheran Hour, has long been an anigma to both sides of the fence. He proclaims the inerrancy of Scripture and champions the cause of Calvary but serves as president of the Superchurch, LCUSA, and was the preacher who made the motion in 1956 that the big Mo join the Lutheran World Federation. I fail to see why anyone should be puzzled as to where he stands. But the Hoff still maintains that his unionistic child, LCUSA, is not Martin Luth er Superchurch. He requests that the ordin ations of women remain an open question. He backs the report of the Council stating that there is nothing in Scripture that either ap proves of or repudiates ordination of women. Dr. Hoffman however has strongly indicated that he wants no part of the presidency. Not only is the hierarchy of the synod in turmoil, the students at the seminary have been dragged in by Dr. Tict jcn and his follow ers. A recent incident has shown that politics in this mess has become more important than the real question at hand. Dr. Richard Klann is one of the few loyal, orthodox Lutheran pro fessors at the seminary in St. Louis. Dr. Klann addressed the chapel assembly, and about 20 of the liberal students and faculty members walked out. A tape of tha sermon had been made, so that it could be aired over the synodowned and operated radio ition KFUO. It so happens that the tape was accidentally eras ed by the liberal manager of the station, and a folk concert featuring the communist folk At Your Canteen singer Pete Seeger had to be substituted. If you wonder how the liberals look upon ' the status and purpose of the church, open the , “Concordia Theological Monthly" sometime You can smell the pollution. The liberals feel that men must share their gospel with the suf fering masses. They feel that it is foolish that conservative theologians “focus on preaching and prayer as the proper responses for church men to urban unrest and generally are not too activistic in the cause of justice." This parti cular theologian calls the purpose of the church as a place of quiet reflection and refuge, where man reflects upon what he must do to prepare THE STUDENT'S CHOICE for the future life.

in Missouri congregations tin's fall. This is an ad which appeared in the May issue of the Concordia Theological Monthly: “Our mission is life. The full and free life that God’s Spirit gives us. That’s what this new curriculum is all about. It coordinates the parish education programs in elementary, weekday, Sunday morning, and summer schools. The approach is learner centered, the kind that communicat ed the Good Word to people where they are now.” The following quotes and ideas are all tak en from the prospectus for the course which is available from CPH for the cost of postage. “In each course teachers and learners explore together what life as God’s people is all about. Together they discover what the Gospel of grace in Christ says to God’s people alive to day.” The whole series emphasizes heavily that the old traditions of the church have very little meaning for the church today. It is necessary to update all doctrines to make them relevant for our modern thought. “Because all of God’s creations are good, Mission'Life materials affirm the essential good ness of God’s world even while starkly ack nowledging its corruptions. No real comment even has to be made about a statement like that. One of the most snaking things that one notices as he reads throu <> this material is the lack of any Bible history ype of studies until the seventh or eighth g • 1 They try to ex cuse this by saying that o .. , course is designed to make the child aware ' what he personally is to his God and not in the context of some thing that supposedly happened 5000 years ago, and then we aren't even sure if it is true. The courses then are centered on the social obligations of the Christian not as a part of Christian charity but rather as a moral obliga tion for the improvement of the human race and its apparently receding morality. The pro grams are designated by the colors blue, red, green, and orange, representing day school, Saturday school, Sunday School and summer school. The child sees how he can care for God’s creation in nursery school. In Kinder garten he learns to get along. In grade 1, “children discover how the Christian life in cludes worship, witness, education and social ministries.” In grade 2, “children find greater joy in community worship . thanksgiving and fellowship.” Grade 3 emphasizes “self-fullfillment through Christ.” In grade 4 the natural tendency toward hero-worship is utilized. “In this course they discover heroes of the Bible 253

It is entitled “Count Down to Jer usalem” and the “Launching of the Good News about Jesus Christ.” The synod’s drive for communion in the fifth grade is keenly felt at this level in the second semester course, which is designed to prepare the 11 -year old for “pro fitable reception of the sacrament.” The course for the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade will not be finished for another year, so the old Concordia Catechism series is still being main tained. But the new series “will give students a chronological introduction to both Old Testa ment and New Testament history.” Catechism instruction will begin at grade 8, but will be a completely revised approach to Luther’s Cate chism. Courses for the high school level drift far ther from the Scriptures. All the courses in clude an album entitled Don't Church Me In.” The student is also introduced to “14 currently popular appri Acs to coping with the world.” When Bible passage used in this serfrom the RSV or ies, they are taken citb The Cotton Patch Bible Clarence Jordan. The object is to “build 1 ; one another in the faith as we become more Christ-like persons.” “The Christian Faith and Contemporary Prob lems will relate theology o crucial social dis tresses." The series also on.joys using colloqui al language, “Wow! I Am God's Saint, Pow! I Do God’s Things.” The series also includes a complete set of courses for adults, most of which deal with the social ministry of the church. “Persons take priority over programs as class members assist each other in utilizing the parish as a creative place for the healing of persons.” The whole atmosphere is the Missouri Syn od is one of self-discovery and people are en couraged to develop their own understanding of God, The courses include pictures of Christ which depict Him as black, brown, orange, pink, blue, and any other color of any race discovered or undiscovered. Finally, Christ is presented as our big buddy, sent by God under the buddy system. This is the state that “the most conservative of the ‘Big Three’ ” is in. Charles Werth ’72 254
