9.

"At PLU, thing have changed," he said. "Our physical campus has had a face-lift. Our academic pro­ grams have multiplied. Our enroll­ ment has exploded. We have expe­ rienced new styles of governance.

Our faculty has resolved to study academic excellence and set new standards for the next decade.

"In the months ahead, this uni­ versity must reflect upon these changes," Wiegman continued.

"There is both a time to sow and a time to reap. It is now a time to evaluate the challenges we share in the light of our Christian heri­ tage.

"Across the nation, in this inter­ im y ar, it is time to think and to review, to study and to recom­ mend, to contemplate and to pre­ pare,' b' added.

"But I do not anticipate a year of retrenchment or retreat," the president said. "The world does nut allow us to lay aside that which we have begun. Teither does our God. There comes an hour in which we must evaluate our ac­ tions and consolidate our gains, all �he while with a keen eye to the tutur(;' .

"We ask that this Year of Re­ flection" will put foundations be­ neath our dreams for a better life," he said.

Also speaking at the convoca­ tion, Tacoma Mayor Gordon John­ ston offered the students a chal­ lenge to help the cities of the na­ tion solve the problems of the '70's.

"I hope you will become more aware of the opportunities for prO­ fessional leadership at the urban level." Johnston said. "'fhe opportunities are endless." he continued. But he indicated he believed elected officials just don't have the time in office to effective­ ly bring their ideas to reality.

"Solutions will have to come from the professionals within ur­ ban bureauocracies." he added. officially convocation The opened PLU's 81st year. .

A PLU professor and three PLU alums will be teaching at the American School of Vientiane.

Laos, during the 1971-72 school year.

They are Lynn Stein, professor of education at PLU, Iver Eliason '('55), principal at Midland Elemen­ tary School in the Franklin-Pierce School District, Tacoma: Steven Spinney ('68), a fifth grade teacher at Midland: and Claudia Freiden, a 1971 ELU graduate in health and physical education.

The educators have each taken two-year leaves of absence though their appointments are offered on an annual basis.

The secondary school in Vienti­ ane is comprised of grades seven through 10. Attending the school are American embassy, civil serv­ ice and foreign service depend­ ents. Approximately 15 per cent of the children at the school are Lao­ tians, Stein said.

Appointments were offered by the Vientiane school through the Franklin-Pierce School District. which has been encouraging a school-to-school program with Vientiane during the past year.

Gonyea House Dedicated As President's Honle A large colonial-style home sur­ rounded by tennis courts, swim­ ming pool, stables and rolling green lawns was dedicated as a president's residence at PLU this summer.

The Gonvea House and estate were bequeathed to the university.

The master of the house was the late Joseph Henry Gonyea, a Ta­ coma arca lumberman and philan­ thropist. When his wife died last January, her will stipulated that the family home a mile from the university campus be used as a res­ idence for the university president and his family.

PLU President Eugene \Vieg­ man, his wife and their six child­ ren moved into the Gonyea House in early June. Their residence ful­ fills Gonyea's dream that his home should be filled with laughter and young people.

Dr. Wiegman accepted the prop­ erty on behalf of PLU. "We dedi­ cate this home to the continuance of joyful and youthful living, to beauty and dignity, to hospitality and graciousness, to warm and congenial gatherings, to respect and love for past and future occu­ pants and to the glory of God," he said.

The former president's resi­ dence across the street from the campus is being remodeled to serve as an Alumni House.

ALC President To Speak At Reformation Rally Dr. Kent Knutson, president of the American Lutheran Church, will be the featured speaker at Tacoma's annual Reformation Fes­ tival Sunday, Oct. 31 The program, co-sponsored by PLU and the Lutheran churches of Tacoma, will be held in Olson Au­ ditorium at 4 p,m.

"Our Unfinished Reformation" is the theme of Dr. Knutson's ad­ dress.

Combined adult and children's choirs from Tacoma and Lutheran churches and the PLU Concert Band will provide special music.

The Year Of Reflectio

By Dr. E ugen e Wiegman President, Pal'ific Lutheran U ni versity

Welcome

ir.to

our

YEAR

OF

know REFLECTION! As you since Ihe year of my Inauguration we bave procla imed a theme for he. themes ha"l: eaeh y al .

been yardsticks by which to mea sure our progress and tney set mt)ods on campus that were con­ sistent with our heritage and in hallnonv with our times.

Our first vear. 1969, was a Year in our ac ·evernent!;, of Jo y in our expectations and in our­ selves. AbOve all, celebrated the joy we share in our Christian heritage. Our second year, las yea r, was a Year of Commitment - commllment to a new order I1l Ii e to a new decade of Universit) progress and to our ultimate an ­ swer, Jesus Christ.

In retro peel. I elieve tnese then s fared well. They captllr d a part of the. events and spirit f ou r uniVersity during those years.

TnI' PLU Alumni have contributed a large measure to the $uccess of those themes.

Last year, for example, the Alumni Association sustained an annual fund drive of $43,000. What was extraordinary about tlle amount was that it represents CI boost over the previou' year despite the fact that we operated without a full-tIme directo ..

ThIS represents commitment In addition to this success, the alumni contribut.ed to scholarship support of eight students, sponsored a campus symposium, and donated monies to the School of Business and the registrar's ofiice for mi­ crofiiming equipment.

That was last year. Why a Year of Reflection for 1971-72? We can look at this from a national stand­ point and also as it "reflects" our own campus.

Nationally, most crystal ball: seem cloudy. When I listen to our President, our Governor and our other eaders, I sense that the trend is no trend at all. Even Time magazine. that barometer of Mid­ dle America, has proclaimed a "cooling of America."

Since this is the year before national elections, it seems an appropriate time for America to settle back and take a critical look at where we've been and try tu determine where we're gOUlg. The past decade witnessed unbridled and sometimes terrifying chan and revelation. Now w need a year to evaluate what thos events mean. A year of reflecUnn.

Sweden , presIdent of Rotary Inter­ national, was honored by PLU Sept. 1 7 , d U rI ng a .Joint meeting of ' otary Clubs fr0111 Western Wash­ ington and British Columbia.

The PLU D lstinguished Service Award .vIedal was presented to Breitholtz at noon iuncheon at the Uni versity Center. hosted by he Rotary Club of Lakewood and Parkla nd.

Breitholtz became the 1 4 th re­ Lipi ent of the PLl' DSAM, first presented in 1 966 to Thor Heyer­ dahl. world a clventurer well-known tor his Kon-Tiki and Ra voyages. It i ' an hono r given for outstanding

civic achievement and service to fellow man.

PLU President Eugene Wieg­ man presented the award. Taking part in the program were Michael Dederer, chairman of the PLU Board of Regents, Thomas Ander­ son, Regents vice-chairman. and Dr. Thomas March, and Harry Brenn, Rotary officials.

Breitholtz is the first Scandina­ vian in history to head Rotary In­ ternational, a worldwide service association which includes some 1 5,000 Rotary Clubs and a mem­ bership of more than 700, 000 busi­ ness and professional men in 149 countries.

Classical music artists from Rus­ sia, Yugoslavia and C anada bring a distinct international flavor to Pa­ cific Lutheran University's 1 97 1 7 2 Artist Series repertoire.

Two of the five scheduled sea­ son programs feature the art of ballet dance, continuing a PLU tradition that included co-sponsor­ ship of four consecutive Joffrey Ballet summer residencles in Ta­ coma between 1 96 7 and 1 970.

An Oct. 9 appearance by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet opens the Artist Series season. C anada's first ballet company, organized in 1 938, the Winnipeg company recently returned from a European tour that included performances in Par­ is, Prague. Moscow, Leningrad and Stratford, England, among others.

Time magazine noted that the ballet " set technical standards high enough to win respect from the toughest critics and introduced a zestful new variation of the dance to the homeland (Russia) of classical ball et. " The season's final offering March 1 1 features stars of the Bol­ ShOI Opera and Bolshoi Ballet with the Osipov Balalaika Orchestra of Moscow.

C oncordia To Ho nor Grace B lomquist At Homecoming B anquet Grace B lomquist, associate pro­ fessor of English at PLU, will ac­ cept an Alumni Achievement Award from Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn. , Oct. 2 .

The award will be presented at Concordia's Homecoming banquet.

A 1 934 Concordia graduate.

Miss B lomquist is representative of Concordia grads who have devoted their careers to teaching in church olleges.

She received her masters de ree from Syracuse University and has also studied at the University of :\1innesota , Boston University and Goethe University in Frankfort, Germany.

Nominating her for the Concor­ dia honor were her fellow Cobber alums teaching at PLU.

A urich, G ermany Gives G old Nl edal To Ottilie Little Dr. Ottilie Little, professor emeritus of foreign languages at PLU, was recently presented the Gold Medal of the city of Aurich, Germany, for her many contribu­ tions to Frieslandic culture.

The coveted award was present­ ed in July at a conference of Fries­ landic culture specialists in Au­ rich.

Aurich is located near the north­ ern shores of Germany in an area historically known as Friesland.

The ancient culture and language of that area differed somewhat from the rest of Germdny because of a strong Scandinavian influence down through the centuries.

The Frieslalldic language evolved into low German, about which Dr. Little has written a great · deal. both during her teaching ca­ reer and since her retirement. She t aught at PL U from 1 946·66.

Winnipeg Ballet's Alexandra Nadel

On its second coast·to-coast tour of the United States, the Osipov features Valentina Levko of the Bolshoi Opera, dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet and Ludmilla Zykin­ a, Russia's foremost folk singer, among the guest artists.

Using primarily unique Russian folk instruments, the Osipov pro­ vides a sound that has been de­ scribed as " some legendary Manto­ vani of Moscow. " A Yug slavian chamber orches­ tra, I Solisti Di Zagrob, brings a contemporary chamber sound to Tacoma March 2 .

Organized i n 1 954, the group is composed of 1 2 Yugoslavian vir­ tuosi. While Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart receive full attention from the Zagreb soloists, the Solisti do not feel that chamber music is con­ fined to compositions of centuries past. One is as likely to hear a work of today's Paul Hindemith as yesterday's Rossini, a spokesman said .

Rounding out the season's at­ tractions are the Denver Sympho­ ny Orchestra, Brian Priestman conducting, Nov. :3, and The West­ ern Sav ovards Feb. 8 .

The 'D enver Symphony ha made it a point to attract the young to its concerts, and in doing so has alienated some of its "old line" D enver supporters. The mu­ sic hasn' t changed. only the way in which it is presented, according to Priestman.

The Western Savoyards, a group of four musicians under the leader­ ship of Baritone Harry lVIossfield, present a program of Gilbert and Sullivan ' s greatest musical success­ es. Favorite selections from "The Mikado," " H. M . S. Pinafore, " "The Gondoliers" and others comprise the program.

Season tickets covering all five performances may be ordered now by mailing a $ 1 0 check for each ticket to the Alumni House, c / o Noel Abrahamson. Your prompt reply will be greatly appreciated.

Cross Country Squad Faces '71 Rebuilding Job

Lute Coach Roy Carlson may have revoluti oni zed the world of practice footbaU. l i e has Roy Carlson Last-A-Foam PLA-MAKER ball which designed and is manufacturing " moves and reacts as under act ual playing conditions." The ball, manufactured by General Plastics of Tacoma, has done away \\ith the traditional stationary blocking dummies at PLU.

Carlson Begins 10th Year at PLU With 'New Look' Football Squad The 197 1 football Lutes will have a " new look" this fall as Coach Roy Carlson prepares for his 10th season at the PLU grid helm.

For the first time in four sea­ sons such familiar names as Hal­ stead, Hammer, Lindstrom, Boice.

Broeker, Ferguson, Irion, Spencer and U gstad wil l be missing from the roster, but the winning pro­ gram they helpcd develop ( 15-7 the past 2 112 years) has attracted some outstanding lIew talent. ' ' I'm basically optimistic, espe­ says cially about my offense. " Carlson, who has had the top re­ gional rushing team the past two years and the third best ground attack in the NAIA last year.

"I think this will be' the fastest team I've ever had," he continued, " and we should have an improved passing Uu·eat."

Carlson has had the passer the past two years in senior quarter­ back Jim Hadland, one of the Northwes t's top option quarter­ backs, but with a powerful running game the aerial attack was sec­ ondary. This year Carlson is taking advantage of increased speed and a number of good receivers by switching from the full-house T to the slot-f formation. Junior Bernie Johnson, third leading pass receiv­ er last year as a split end, is slated for a starting slotback role, adding a third potential receiver to the attack.

Returning from last year's start­ ing backfield along with Hadland is junior fullback Dan Pritchard, who has chalked up 1,062 yards his first two seasons and could challenge Dave Halstead's all-time career record of 2,485 .yards before he's through.

Junior Don M cPherson, who raced for 234 yards iast year in a re erve role, has the inside track at tailback. Also expected to see heavy duty are sophomore Tom O ' R ourke. and Mike Griffin, one of three transfers from the Univer i­ ty of Washington.

Pietras ve teran Stan Senior (200) rate " one of thc best cent.ers I've eVeJ' had" by C arolson an· chors a revamped but pro miSing otf nsive iine. At guard Carlson has seniors Keith Koehn ! 2 1 0 }. "o lle o f the top linemen i n the Northwest Conf eren e . " and Steve Harshman ( 2 15), another experi­ enced performer. l' ckles are sophomore George Van Over ( 2 :30), last year's most and senior val uable freshman.

Ga r\' Huntlllgton ! ::! 30J.

At split end, another Huskie transfer, Ira Hammon, has been a pre-season sensation, but won't be eligible until the third game of the season. Last year's second leading receiver, sophomore John Amidon, is back, and junior Dave Green­ wood and freshman Mike Clinton show promise.

Carlson faces his greatest re­ building j ob on defense, but in two mtra-squad scrimmages the unit has progressed more quickly than expect d.

Two returning starters are in the front four, junior end Dave Bennett ( 2 10 1 and Denms Hilles­ land (205), senior tackle. Junior Randy Shipley (225) and Washing­ ton State transfer Don Poier ( 205) will probably grab the remaining starting slots.

While Carlson lost all three of last year's starting linebackers, the position this fall is probably as deep as any. Defensive captain Pat Sencenbaugh ( 1 90), transfer Glen Davis (205) and Huskie transfer Charlie Evans ( 195) have the inside tracks.

The only 1970 veteran in the defensive backfield is sophomore Greg Collman, who set a confer­ ence single game interception re­ cord against Pacific last year with four. Junior John O berg returns at safety after missing most of last season with a broken collarbone.

Three transfer students are vying for the remaining halfback slot.

Finally, Carlson needs a kicker to replace Ed McGrath, one of the region's best last year with nine finished McGrath goals. field fourth in regional scoring with 6 1 points.

In all, Carlson has 19 lettermen and 1 1 transfers on a 46-l11an squad. Joe Broeker, his chief coaching assistant, returns after a year s leave of absence for gradu­ ate study. Paul Hoseth is the de­ fensive backfield coach.

The professor is Dr Kwong-Tin Tang, a nativ of Nanking, China, who holds a doctor', degree from Columbia niversity During re­ cent tTips to the Ori nt, Tang has spt>nt a gr at d . 1 of is own time taiking wit students interest in coming to the United States to study.

Of the .5 8 .£<'ar Eastern students on hand for the fall term, 50 are from Hong Kong, where Tang spent most of his time. The re­ mainder represent Taiwan , the PhIlippines, Thailand, Korea, Ja­ pan and Malaysia . Forty-three are new on campus this year.

said . He also pointed out that par­ ental anxiety ' is relieved somewhat when they can talk to someone from an American university in their own language.

All of t he students are paying full tuitIOn, according to Tang.

In almost every case the Chinese students v ill room with Arne ican students . "In that way they w ill bav ' Lo i mprove on theIr English very quickly," Tang observed. He indicated that almost all write Eng ­ lish very well but understanding It in conversation is more of a prob­ lem.

Any language problem suffered

by Chinese students at PLU last year must have been quickly over­ come, however. Of the 15 students enrolled, six received straight A's, and the combined grade point av­ erage for the group was at cum laude level. 3.3.

Difficulties with cost overruns, performance requirements and delayed deliveries have become major handicaps in defense pro­ curement, according to Dr. Gundar King of PLU. Dr. King who has headed the university' s School of Business for five years, has an opportunity to help deal with these problems, He has been granted a one-year sab­ batical leave to become visiting professor of management at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, Calif., becoming the first visiting professor Monterey has had in the management field.

At the same time King will serve as a member of a study group for cost and pricing for the United States Commission on Government Procurement. The positions are interrelated as the function of the commission study group is to pro­ pose Congressional legislation dealing with the problem.

King, a procurement consultant who has worked for Weyerhaeuser Company, Boeing COlllpany, the United States Air Force and small­ er firms during the past decade, was selected to help develop a new two-year graduate program at Monterey which w i ll ta kle mod­ ern procuremen t problems. " The avy is maki g a major effort to acquaint both command . nd pro­ curement personnel with up-to­ date techniques," King said.

He indicated that the new pro­ gram would stress an academic rather than a regulatory approach and that students would include line personnel, procurement per­ sonnel and supply corps officers.

Long- Time Prof At PL U Retires At Cal. Lutheran

Tacoma German Language School Opens at PL U

Dr. William Strunk. a professor of biology at PLU from 1 948-62, announced his retirement from the California Lutheran College facul­ ty in June.

The CLC Board of Regents pre­ sented the long-time educator with the titre Distinguished Professor of CLC-Emeritus.

At PLU,Dr. Strunk served as chairman of the biology depart­ ment and director of student health services. He helped organ­ ize the latter agency.

Dr. Strunk, 70, also taught at Luther College ( la.l and St. Olaf before serving as Minnesota com­ missioner of conservation from 1941-43 and as an Army officer during World War II.

The Tacoma German Language School, for children of kindergar­ ten through junior high age began its second year of operation Sept.

1 7 at PLU. Instruction is offered each Sat­ urday of the school year, vacations excepted, from 9 : 3 0 a.m. to 12 noon, according to director Rod­ ney Swenson.

Last year approximately 1 60 young people participated in the classes. A unique feature of the program is that students use only text material usetl by German children in German schools.

All students have engineering de­ grees as a prerequisite.

The Naval Post Graduate School was originally a part of the Annap­ olis program and is comparable to a technically-oriented pure gradu­ ate school. It offers master and doctor of science degrees in techni­ cal fields.

During his absence from PLU King will also conduct research at the Jackson Library of Business and the Hoover I nstitution for War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University.

A native of Latvia, King is also an expert on Baltic, East European and Soviet economic and social policies.

Dr. Vernon Stintzi, associate professor of business administra­ tion, has been appointed dean of the nationally-accredited PLU School of Business during the 197 1-72 academic year.

PLU Alumni Honor Dorothy M eyer, M issionary To India For 20 Years A man with three bedraggled small children at his side knocked on the door of a modest home in southern India one evening a few months ago.

Answering the door was Doro­ thy Meyer, an educator and evan­ gelist in India for the past 20 years.

"I'm not a Christian," the man said, "and I have no money to give you. But I know that you love your fe.llow man and I hope that ' you WIll take care of these children. " Miss Meyer couldn't resist the !hree �ai�s of dark brown eyes gaz­ mg WIstfully at her in the semi­ darkness. "We don't have much room and we're short on funds " she told the father, " but we'll ta k e them in and do the best we can for them . " The incident was not a n u ncom­ mon one for Miss Meyer, a native of Kendrick, Idaho, who currently runs a mission complex in Nayadu­ pet, Andre Predash, India. The complex includes an orphanage, an �lemen!ary school for girls, an mdustnal school for women a home for widows and an inst u­ tion for the aged. Since the late '40's she has spent most of her career in cities, villages and rural areas in southern India providincr spiritual and educational guidanc wherever she is needed.

On Nov. 6, Miss Meyer was rec­ ognized for her long service to the church and to humanity. A 1 94 9 graduate o f Pacific Lutheran Uni­ versity, she became the seventh person to receive the university's Distinguished Alumnus Award . .

The presentation, which was made by D r . Roy Virak, PLU Al­ �mni Association president, high­ bghted the annual Alumni Home­ coming Banquet at PLU. An­ nouncement was also made of PLU's Alumnus of the Year Award for 1 9 7 1 , which will be presented to University of Washington bas­ ketball coach Marv Harshman later in the year.

Milton Nesvig, assistant to the president for church relations and publications at PLU, observed the I1.1 ission program at Nayadupet fIrst hand last year during an ex­ tended overseas tour. . "Not or.tly has Miss Meyer prov­ Ided a VItal service to mankind throughout her own career. she has inspired others to help carry on the work. " R ev . Nesvlg said.

Among those who have followed in her footsteps are her sister Hermi­ na Meyer, a 1 954 PLU graduate who has served in various medical capacities - nurse, laboratory technician, medical pathologist since 1 957, and Katakshamma Benjamin, an Indian young lady whose advanced education in America was underwritten by Miss Meyer and her family in Idaho.

The Meyer family and the veter­ an missionary were also responsi­ ble for the construction and financ­ ing of the Immanuel Chapel at N ayadupet, in memory of Herman Meyer, Miss Meyer's father.

The mission complex se rv es communities within a 1 50 -mile radius of Madras in heavily popu­ lated southern India. " Miss Meyer's life has been a saga love 'and �evotion," Nesvig smd. She has gIVen of her time, talents and possessions for the cause of Christ and his Kingdom.

She has touched the lives of thou-

sands of India' s populace and gained their admiration, respect and gratitude . " I n addition to her bachelor's degree from PLU, Miss Meyer holds a master of religious educa­ tion degree from New York Theo­ logical Seminary. A great deal of her furlough time over the years has been spent in furthering . her education.

State Students Attending PLU Qualify For Tuition Supplen1ent For t.he first time in Washington state hIstory, a state resident at­ tending a private university full­ tIme may receive a state tuition supplement.

The 1 9 7 1 legislature authorized the Council on Higher Education to provide up to $ 1 00 annually for each Washington resident attend­ ing a private institution in the state.

A� P�clfI� Lutheran U niversity, apphcatIOn forms for the state tui­ tion grants have been sent to eligi­ ble students.

The total biennial appropriation granted by the legislature, $ 1 . 7 million, will be distributed annual­ �Y t? t�e state's accredited private institutIOns, based on the number of students who qualify for tuition supp�ements. This year's stipend prOVIdes $ 1 00 for each Washing­ ton state resident enrolled. No theology or graduate students will be accepted.

Students attending PLU will save about $ 1 40,000 in tuition costs as a result of the supplement.

Ronald Coltom, ( ' 6 1 ) director of financial aid at PLU, estimates up to 1,500 students at that school will qualify for state tuition.

"This legislation also is intended to save money for taxpayers, add­ ed Coltom. If the 1 , 500 students affected by the supplemental grants were to attend state uni­ versities, it would cost the state 1 2

times more than the biennial ap­ propriation for the tuition supple­ ments at private schools. "

New Honorary For Business Installed At PLU A new chapter o f B eta Gamma Sigma, a national honor society for business administration, was in­ stalled at Pacific Lutheran Univer­ sity in October. ' Charter members of the PLU chapter are all membeI.:s of the business administration or eco­ nomics faculties. They are Dr. G undar King, Dr. Dwight Zulauf, Dr. John Martilla, Dr. Grant Wat­ kinson, Stuart Bancroft, Charles Dirksen and Thomas Kruse.

The first student induction will be held i» the spring, according to Martilla. Business administration majors in the top 10 per cent of the senior class and the top five per cent of the junior class will be eligible, he said.

Only schools accredited by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business are eligible for Beta Gamma Sigma chapters.

AACSB last spring awarded its accreditation to the PLU School of Business Administration .

Successful '71 Homecolning Halfway

Now Memory

By Harvey Neufeld Director of Alumni Relations

Near Salem , Oregon, on Interstate 5 stands an unusual highway sign board. It marks the mid-point between the North Pole and the Equator. No special thrill accrues for having passed this imaginary line, no electric. shock, no sparkling revelation.

But it does jolt the mind into action. Halfway to the Equator, halfway from the ice-blue tundra of the North Polel It could really be significant for some people, for example that flyer last week who was trying for a record around-the-world hop over the North and South Poles. Halfway would be a rather significant achievement for him.

Like a lot of halfway markers in our life it could have meaning of criti­ cal proportions. Are you 35 years of age? You are halfway through the aver­ age life span, at least for an American.

What h happened in your life up to this point'! Of course you will have 1.0 answer that. The natural thing would be to suggest that we've not done as well as we had hoped, that our life has not measured up to what we expected. We could always dwell on the places that we had come from and of the things tbat were not done. Sometimes it's even kind of fun to do just that. to try to think about the old days, especially if we are not forced to re­ live them. During Homecoming-71 one of our senior alums talked to me about " the bad old days" He didn't want to go back. He was content with the road ahead. He understood that nothing can be gained by dwelling on the past if it means tbat it clouds our enthusiasm for the future. Halfway -

better to leave it at that.

There is something far more positive though about the midway point in life or in any project or goal that has captured our time and spirit. I t is just this. Halfway means that there still remains much of the thrill of the jour­ ney. The next turn in the road displays a stunning scene, a hillside splashed in radiant fall color ! So also in our daily routines. We've all got some long range plans and goals. Beautitul things that can happen at the next turn of the road. And this is the way it ought to be. These dreams and hopes give us p rspective and help us from beillg frustrated by short range failures.

After all, a job half done is not the sanle as a haIf-done job. Ahead lies every opportunity to finish a task, redirect our life, complete a book. sing a new song, or whatever.

We look for great things from our alumni this year. The halfway mar­ kers are there to prod us on. Reflection is the key to our academic year at PLU The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we are but what direction we are going. We believe we're heading in the right direction. Join us, won't you?

B y Roy Virak PreSident, PLU Alumni Association

" Homecoming 1971" is now histo­ ry and memories. It was a great week end and I want to thank all of you who attended any or all of the various activities. Those of you who weren't able to make it, start planning for next year now. It will be one of the high spots of the year 'for you if you do.

The football game was full of spectacular action and excitement even though we lost by two points.

'Loyalty "Loyalty-72. " That wiII be tlie theme for the Annual Fund pro­ gram of the Alumni Association this next year. An organizational meeting for the Annual Fund was held at the Alumni House Nov. 9 with Jim Feek as general chair­ man. Represented at this first committee meeting were members from georgraphic areas including Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and the Mid-west. It was decided that each geographic area would be responsi­ ble for its own committee struc­ ture and for its share of the An­ nual Fund campaign.

A key goal of the "LoyaJty-72" program will be an increase in the number of alums participating in annual giving. During the past two years approximately 20 per cent of the alumni have contributed . to the on-going program at PLU. The

Reliving 'Typical' Weeks

By Dr. Eugene Wiegman President, Pacific Lutheran University

Every individual has a unique perspective on his own working situation. Each person comes to understand, better than anyone else, the frustrations, lhe tensions, the complexities and the rewards of his particular position.

J ust for the record. I thought it would be fun to share with you a part of my schedule over an ap­ proximate two week period. I think you may find it interesting for two rea ODS F irst. it may give you me ill;ights into the position of a university presiden . econd, and m ore important tbe ev ents and activities indic te :.I certain direcuniversi­ ion and purpose at '0

Monday. Oct. 25, found me in li nnesot a, ttending the inaugura­ Ii n of Harvey Stegemoeller as P resident of Con"ordia College in 'L Paul. Tue day it vas bu ine as usual. I had an intervIew with r�ill Thorkelson, religIOn editor o( he MiMe8polis Slar, who was on campus for an Augsburg B ) I'd of u IicatIOns meeting. After greet­ ing that group at dinner, we at­ tendet a concert given on campus by the Pacific Lutheran University Orchestra.

The remainder of that week was spen! pursuing such diverse activi ties as addressing the Lake­ wood Rotary on " Military Appre­ ciation Day." attending a freeway dedication, participating in a panel discussion at a pastor's workshop

on campus, attending a PLU home football game. and meeting with the State Department of Ecology regarding PLU's sewage treatment plant.

Sunday morning, Oct. · 31, saw the 'installation of PLU ' s new uni­ versity minister. the Rev. Gordon Lathrop. Bishop Clarence Solberg officiated at the installation. and Rev. Kent Knutson, President of the American Lutheran Church. delivered the sermon.

Following a luncheon for Rev .

Lathrop, the university held a for­ mal reception for President Knut­ son Later in the afternoon. the Lutheran clergy from Pierce Coun­ ' y joined President Knutson in cel­ ebrating the third annual Lutheran Reformation Rally in Olson Field­ house.

Next, a few highlights from the week, November 1-7. There was a meeting with the acuIty constit u­ tion committee, a past Regents' dinner, I he Denver Symphony, a luncheon with the Tacoma Urban L!'ague on campus, a luncheon with the Tacoma Area Urba Coa­ lition staff. and tbe usual flu ry o( meetings with individual students and faculty.

This particular week also in­ duded Homecoming Weekend.

Homecoming offered me an excel­ lent opportunity to renew friend­ ships and make new acquaintances among our returning alums. There was an open house at the new Alumni Center. the football game on campus, a Homecoming ban­ quet.. and other traditional activi­ ties.

What about this week? In con­ junction with Founders' Week, I

The banquet was a capacity crowd.

It is so much fun to see old friends whom we haven't seen for years and to bring each other up to date on the families. successes and mis­ fortunes that have befallen us since the last time we talked.

It was, of course, a very special privilege to present the Distin· guished Alumnus A ward to Doro­ thy Meyer on behalf of the Alumni Association in recogni tion of her

am delivering three chapel ad­ dresses centered on the contempo­ rary meaning of Old Testament prophets. There are numerous off­ campus speaking . engagements, three scheduled meetings with var­ ious faculty committees, a UGN l uncheon, breakfast with students, a farewell parade for a general at one of our military installations, a visiting theatre group, and a Phi Delta Kappa dinner. Sunday, my wife and I will host a reception for all non-teaching staff at the presi­ dent's residence. the Gonyea House.

Well, I guess these constitute " typical" weeks on campus. As I reflect upon the various events, two things occur 0 me.

The first is that while they do represent " a typical few weeks, " each week i s emphatically unique and different . The excitement and anticipa tIon that surrounds campus activities serves to highlight the h�art of the u niversity process: new experiences and learning.

The second thing that occurs to me is that every university event and activity cenlers around people.

Since assuming the presidency of PLU three years ago, the Presi­ dent's Office has always been open to any and every individual.

It's people who makf' the posi­ tion of university president inter­ esting, stimulating, and demand­ ing: people who have ideas, people who have problems and people who want to help us solve our prob­ lems.

Students, faculty, administra­ tors, friends of the university, alumni: people - that's what this U niversity is all about.

committee set a goal of 40 per cent participation, which would mean the involvement of 2900 alums ll\ the annual giving program next year.

Specific goals for which the fund will provide the necessary finan· cial support were also considered.

Scholarships and the renovation of the Alumni House were of prime concern. I n addition to the continu­ ing alumni scholarship program the committee voted to undergird the work of the Religious Life Council which will assume new quarters in the Alumni House building, to increase the endow­ ment fund at the University. to underwrite a new video program that will provide the chapt.ers with much needed t.ools in developing support.

In addition to these programs the fund will support the on-going work of the Alumni Association and es­ pecially provide some support for the current budget of the Universi­ ty. particularly facuIty salaries support. Members of the commit­ tee are: Dr. Jeff Probstfield '63, Ken Hartvigson '65, Jerry Aust, Bob Running '65. The fund is slated to officially begin February 1st and the solicitation period end by May 30th. The overall financial goal of . the fund will be $75,000.

Perhaps one disappointment ot the evening was the fact that Marv Harshman could not be present to re.ceive his award of Alumnus of the Year. He had some prior firm committments relating to his new position as head basketball coach at the University of Washington and was out of the state that eve­ ning. However, arrangements have been made to present this award to him at the first University of Washington home game on Decem­ ber 1. If all the alums in the Seat­ tle-Tacoma area would turn out, we could make it an unofficial .. ptu " night as we congratulate Marv and wish him well in his new endeavor. .

The Alumni House has really been a boon to the Association. and we are grateful to the University for providing it. We have actually had hundreds of visitors already.

We have record of more visiting alums in the Ilrst two months of this year than any previous year.

There were times during home­ coming weekend that it was almost bUlging. The plans for the changes that need to be made are both in­ teresting and practical. The priori­ ty in which they are to be made has been established by the Board and work will proceed as soon as th funds become available. A por­ tion of our annual fund is ear­ marked for this, but if anyone wants to make a special contribu­ tion, in memoriam etc . , it will be very welcome and hasten our more efficient use of this facility. It would also make a unique and enduring tax deduction. Best wish­ es to all of you for a blessed and happy holiday season.

PLU President Eugene Wiegman, left, and American Lutheran Church President Dr_ Kent Knutson confer prior to the Refonnation Day Rally at PLU Oct. 31. The program was co-sponsored by the Tacoma-Pierce County Lutheran Pastor's Association and PLU.

ALe President Dr. Kent Knutson Attacks Secularism During Reformation Rally Sermon At PLU The decline in birth rate and the growth of secularism are contrib­ uting to the slow down in growth of the Christian church in Ameri­ ca, according to the Rev. Dr. Kent S. Knutson of Minneapolis, presi­ dent of the 2.5 million member American Lutheran Church.

In Tacoma Sunday, Oct. 3 1 , to address a Reformation festival at PLU, Dr. Knutson said there are fewer people from age 0-4 in the church today than there are over 70. " O n the other hand, " he stated, "the largest group of church members today are in the 1 5 to 20 age group which belies the criti­ cism that modern youth are irreli­ gious."

Characterizing the growth of secularism as "insidious" and a

"sickness of society," Dr. K nutson said that man has become so proud of himself and his accomplish-' ments, such as the journe�s into space, that he is drifting awa-y from the church.

But this trend can be reversed , Dr. Knutson feels. "I sense a new espirit d'corps .emerging in the church through the lay movement and from youth . " Speaking on "The Unfinished Reformation" to over 2 , 000 per­ sons in Olson Auditorium, Dr. KnutsC'n said . that the spiritual forces unleased in the 1 6 th Centu­ ry shaped the modern world and that the challenge to the Christian church today is to use these forces to combat the growing secularism in society.

Teachers Graduating From PLU Make Best Of Bleak Employment Situation Nationwide In a year when colleges and universities across the country are still struggling to find teaching jobs for the majority of last year's graduates in education, well over half of Pacific Lutheran University's 1 970-71 teacher candidates are currently employed in te ching posi­ tions, according to John Hanson, ( '62) director of teach­ er placement at PLU . o the 248 teachers who were certified by PLU is year, 144 (58 per cent) are busy preparing daily lessons in school districts as far away as Laos and as near as Franklin Pierce.

"This year's placement is about 10 per cent below the mark we reached last year when 1 6 3 of 2 3 9 candi­ dates found jobs, and in a normal year we may place from 80 to 90 per cent of our graduates in teaching pos­ itions," Hanson said.

"To say that 105 teachers have not signed teaching contracts is a bit misleading. A number of these had no intention of teaching immediately. Many have gone on to graduate school while others have entered business or joined the service. We actually have 45 candidates 119 per cent) still actively seeking positions," he noted.

"Though I certainly can't call 58 per cent employ­ ment a smashing success for our teacher placement program, I feel that the mark does reflect the high de­ gree of confidence placed in our teacher graduates by many school districts throughout the Northwest, " he continued . "On a statewide basis, only 42 per cent of the teachers certified by the State Department of In­ struction in 1 969-70 found teaching jobs, and I expect thIS year's figure to be considerably below that . " One hundred ixty-one women and 88 men earned certification through the School of EducatlOn at PLU this year, and contracts were signed by 98 women and 46 men The majority of the new teachers ( l 09) found jobs in Washington, though others found positions as far away as Vienbane, Laos. Twelve teachers were placed in Oregon, and others accepted positions in Arizona, Alaska, California, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Mont.ana, New Jersey, North Dakota and Michigan.

"This has been a rather unusual year," Hanson saId. "In a normal year nearly all of our candidates who are seriously seeking positions would have signed teaching contracts by the end of June. This year's . placem ent continues at an erratic pace even at the pre­ sent time. A week doesn't pass when from one to a half dozen of last year's graduates find jobs as teachers."

H added, "Persistence and determination are the two biggest factors contributing to a candidate's success · in finding a job. It is not uncommon for a teacher to apply in as many as 25 different districts before finally landing a position. One of our social studies candidates

applied in 62 school districts before signing a contract in Elkton, M d . " The number o f candidates earning elementary cer­ tification, 1 2 1 , was identical to the number earning cer­ tification on the secondary level. A greater portion of the elementary candidates went into education, with 82 finding teaching positions. Fifty-five secondary candi­ dates and all five K- 1 2 music teachers were hired.

Over half of the secondary candidates still seeking teaching jobs majored in one of two teaching fields, 23 in social studies and 1 6 in English.

On the other hand , the life and earth sciences ana vocal and instrumental music areas had significantly higher employment ratios. "It looks like the sciences and math will continue as fields of high employment on the secondary level," observed Hanson, "The demand for teachers in these fields is above average throughout America and in numerous foreign countries, Hanson listed several reasons for the sudden drop in the job market for teachers . Among the most popu­ lar explanations is that the large number of students graduating in education now reflects the post World War II baby boom. Many of these students began their teacher training when there was still a demanding shor­ tage of adequately prepared teachers.

This significant increase in the number of teacher education graduates, coupled with a sharp drop in the birthrate during the 1 960's, flooded the employment picture at a time when enrollment on the elementary school level was decreasing, he indicated, For exam p le, Hanson pointed out, the Tacoma School District s enrollment on the elementary level was down in excess of 1 ,000 students from last year.

There was a drop of 290 youngsters in kindergarten alone.

First grade enrollment in Spokane has dropped to its lowest level in 20 years, and this fall Seattle enrolled over 4, 500 fewer students than last year.

"Some good may come from the current situation .

Hopefully school boards will capitalize o n the increased number of well-qualified begmning teachers to de­ crease class sizes and increase the general quality of educational programs," Hanson said , Hanson also believes that PLU graduates have an advantage because of the balance in the School of Edu­ cation program between in-field experience and theory . " Our students experience actual in-school teaching situ­ ations as early as their sophomore year," he said.

"In addition," he observed, "we can't overlook the fact that most public school administrators aren't look­ ing for 'radicals, ' PLU so far has established a reputa­ tion for balance between liberal and conservative phi­ losophies. "

Alumni Annual Giving Exceeds

$70,000 - >70->71

Total gifts and grants received

by PLU from alumni during 1 97071 amounted to $70,227.6 4 , ac­ cording to alumni director Harvey Neufeld.

In a recent report it was an· nounced that the annual PLU Alumni Association fund had reached a total of $ 4 1 ,896 .8 1 .

However, Neufeld indicated, many alums are involved in a giving pro­ gram other than or in addition to the annual fund.

For example, he said, the new Nursing-Art Complex construction and remodeling project has re­ ceived considerable support from alumni in the medical profession In addition, scholarship support, endowment fund gifts and hbrary pledge payments swelled total glV­ ing from members of the Alumni Association to the grand total fig­ ure in excess of $ 70 , 000, accordi g to Neufeld.

Tom Gumprecbt

As I look back at my undergrad­ uate years, I recall one attitude associated with PLU which I did not particularly care for then, and one which I dislike even more now.

That attitude is one which implies that Pacific Lutheran University is a "closed institution , " a "monas­ tery," a "Sunday School" and that PLU is something less than a uni­ versity.

It is an attitude which says that because one attends a church-re­ lated school, a school with a strong Scandinavian-Lutheran heritage, he is somehow ill-prepared to meet the challenges of the "big world outside."

Well, I have graduated to the bigger school, to the " big worl . outside" and have a certain oppor­ tunity to see whether this attitudp toward PLU is justified.

I find that the attitude j ust de­ scribed is a somewhat naive atti­ tude . It is an attitude which under­ estimates the students of Pacific Lutheran University - underesti­ mates their abilities, their percep­ tiveness. and their concern.

Similarly, this attitude underes­ timates the institution of PLU and its ability to teach its students about, and prepare them for. the "big world outside."

Further, this naive attitude, which relegates PLU to some low­ er educ tional position. can be harmful if it leads people to over­ look PLU's good and somewhat unique qualities whi h can help equip a person for the future.

It can also be harmful as an atti­ tude if, as I have seen i n some, it leads one to overlook the great opportunities PLU has for involve­ ment with one's fellow Christians, with God, and with mankind in general.

From my observations here at the U. of W., I have concluded that PLU graduates are as well pre­ pared academically, professionally, socially and so forth as people from any other institution. It seems to me that Pacific Lutheran grads relate rather well to their colleagues, their patients, and the myriad of other peoples one finds here at the U. of W . , Health Sci­ ences Complex.

It has been my experience that there is no reason to apologize for having attended PLU . In general, PLU graduates are well regarded here .

Maybe, then, we should ask why PLU grads relate well to other people, to the rest of the " big out­ side world." It appears to me that many PLU graduates have a some­ what greater sense of direction and values than other people. I recall that my pre-medical advisor at PLU once said that he took pride in helping 'prepare pre-pro­ fessional students who care. Per­ haps with these graduates, Pacific Lutheran U niversity was able to "confront them with the chal­ lenges of the Christian faith and instill in them a true sense of voca­ tion . "

Possibly, PLU helped instill val­ ues in some of us graduates which are firmer and more substantial than those of our fellows. Our in­ volvement with PLU may indeed have given some of us a firmer foundation on which we may face the "outside world" and the fu­ ture.

"Stars and Stripes"

"Christ and Mary Magdelene"

such as the Parables. Today, the most prominent symbols are provided by the media through advertising and commercials.

Upon an elaboration of these premises, Craig Svare '66 developed a one­ man show of original collographs, etchings and woodcuts, which was exhib­ ited in Berkeley, Calif., in August and at the University of Southern Cali­ fornia in October.

The show, "For God and Country," was Svare's master's thesis project at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. He is currently studying for a doctorate in religion and the arts at the G.T.U. after a year's internship as assistant to the university chaplain at U . S . C .

Since h i s graduation from PLU, Svare has studied English a t t h e Univer­ sity of Washington, Oxford University and Balloil College and studied printmaking at the San Francisco Art Institute. He has pursued theological studies at G.T.U. a nd Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary.

Svare asserts that today the media plays upon the needs of the people to sell a product. As people have spiritual as well as physical needs, he has endeavored to present Christ as a commercial message and says it works.

Commercial j i ngles seem to be appropriate to the Christian message in some cases, and inversely. c rtain of Christ's teachings have the ring of a media co mme rcial, Svare believes.

"My show is about taking Chris­ tianity and communicating it through symbols of the contempo­ rary media , " he says. "It picks up on the 'sign-symbols' in the media which express contemporary spirit­ ual needs and j uxtaposes them with Biblical symbols . " Because the media i s the result of a culture that has been based on Christianity, the media is still talk­ ing about Christianity, Svare main­ tains . He has put contemporary words with Biblical symbols and has found that they fit.

"You have to keep changing the symbols so people will under­ stand," Svare says.

"Bow Long. . . " It's worth thinking about .

Ostenson to Take Over Development Council Post

The Seattle-King County Economic Development Council recently named its new chief staff executive.

He is William H. Ostenson ('6 1), who come early in November from a post as executive secretary and chief administration officer for the South­ eastern Michigan Transportation Authority.

EDC President Norton Clapp said in his new role Ostenson will be re­ sponsible for initiating council economic development projects, and creat­ ing an atmosphere in the community "Conducive to to economic expan­ sion, " as well as assist staff members. The co:mcil was established earlier this year to lead the area's economic revival.

The council's current operations are being funded by a technical assist­ ance grant from the Economic Development Administration.

Ostenson graduated from PLU , has a master's degree from Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and a law degree from Willa­ mette University, Salem, Ore.

Lute Gridders Share NWC Crowll In Spite Of Up- Down Seasoll Northwest small college football as a PI' gnostl cator's nightmare this season.

Pre·, cason favorites fold d ea ly and then returned in sp Her's r Ie '. Dark hoI' es were riding high early in the season, then stumbled . As the .sea on drew to a close, there w re 110 dominating teams. West rn V ashington boast· ed a 7-2 mar , but w as defe ted

by PLU a n d U S, both of whom lost to also-ran Lewis a d Clark. did not esca pe the prevail ­ PL ing r nd. The sea on pened with a promising 1 5- 7 v ictory vel' Western with the Knights scoring twice in the last eight minutes. But the Lutes suffered the first of sev­ eral disappointments at UPS' Bak­ er Field . The score was UPS 35, PLU 1 8 .

DU11.og the month o f October, Roy Carlson's charges enj oyed an unbroken string of successes, be\

ginning with an 1 1 -1 0 pressure vic­ tory over Pacific on a final minut touchdown and two-pOInt converion. Then came t Ie scoring b nan­ za which has become t radition al in PLU-Whitman battles, and the Lutes knock d the M issionaries (4OJ off the nati nally-ranked and undefea le list 50-42.

If the season were a predictable the next two Lute victories 011 could be c nsidered predi table. an 1 8-0 victory over Wmamett and a 38·0 shut u of College of Idaho. The Lutes were assured of a tie for the Northwest Conferenc title, and it seemed the defense had com e 0 age.

B ut tile Lewis and Clark Pi­ oneers, winless in NWC pl ay but with probably the most explosive offensive potential in the North­ west, put it all together to stop the Lutes 38-36 at PLU's Homecom­ ing. ,

The November slump continued in the an kle-deep mud at Mc­ l\1i nn vllle Ore .. as the Lutes ab­ sorbed a 24-14 loss to Linfield.

Carlson' s offense, keyed to optIOns and aerials , was at a distinct disad­ against the Wild 'ats ' vantage quick-hitting attack .

The season comes to an end this weekend i n balmy southe rn Ca li­ the California Lu­ f rnia agains theran College Kingsmen, unde­ feated and nationally rank d.

It was easy to point to two or three breaks in each losing contest that might have reversed the deci­ sions, but the same could probably have been claimed from the other side of the field after the Western, Pacific and Whitman victories.

The season, nevertheless, should be considered successful in what was originally diagnosed as a re­ building year. For the first time since 1939-4 1 , PLU has enjoyed

Traveling to Kansas City could be a relatively routine adventure if it were not for all the pit stops en route.

And so it is in this NAIA basket· ball hotbed, where Pacific Luther­ an, defending champion of the Northwest Conference, finds in­ hospitable cities standing in the way f an appearance at the na­ tional tournament. ould be very easy to get It waylaid in Spokane, Portland, Sal­ em, M Minnville, or Ellensburg.

With nine veterans returning from last yea 's squad, which post­ ed a 1 5 - 1 4 record overall, 10-2 in NWC play, there is little question about the caliber of talent Coach Gene Lundgaard will have to work with.

Speaking in tones of guarded optimism, Lundgaard feels that last season' s 1 5 - 1 4 record should be improved upon and that a re­ peat of last Decem ber's lowly 2-7 mark is unlikely. However, a tough schedule and injuries have been known to shatter dreams .

The Lutes don' t get all the breaks, but they got one they wer­ en't looking for. Floor general and team captain Lyle McIntosh suf· fered a broken ankle in a pre-sea­ son pickup game and will be out of action until at least mid-January.

PLU, who fell three points short of receiving the Kansas City tickets last year, losing two out of three playoff games to C e ntral, will have size, experience, and depth as its greatest assets this seaso n .

Pouri ng 2374 points through the iron last year, a school record, the Lutes should again set a torrid scoring pace. In NWC action, PLU averaged 87.8 points per game and yielded only 7 2 . 8 , both league bests, while hitting on .464 of their . shots.

Without a bonafide star player, the Lutes are well balanced and can open with a front line averag­ ing 6-8.

The Lutes will again build their offense around all-conference cen­ ter Ake Palm. The 6-8 Swede aveI'­ aged 16 points a game last year and was the loop's fourth leading

scorer. His six game absence in December with a leg injury con­ tributed to the Lutes' lacklustre start.

One of seven seniors, Ake joined the exclusive 1 ,000 career point club last year and, with 1 ,037 counters, is eleventh on PLU's aU­ time scoring list. He c uld easily move into the number five spot this season.

Dennis Phillips (6-8) and Roger Wiley (6-7), juniors, could come on strong. Phillips, with a Midas shooting to uch, sank 60 . 9 per cent of his shots, best in the league.

Wiley was the third leading scorer in his first varsity season. His 35 point bombardment against Col­ lege of Idaho was the best individ­ ual effort of the year for the Lutes.

Forwards Terry Finseth and Mike Willis, 6-4 seniors, will be programmed for plenty of action.

Finseth, with good all-around abili­ ty, is a streak shooter while Willis' chief assets are speed and jumping ability.

Senior Don Lehmen, a 6-2 trans­ fer from Western, is a potential starter. A solid defensive player and rebounder, Lehmen played at Tacoma Community College with leading guard candidates, Tom Patnode and Don Martonik, also seniors.

Patnode, 5-8, was the leading point producer last year with 360 tallies, a 1 2 .8 average . Patnode could be paired with Don Marto­ nik, 5-1 1 , perhaps the top outside shooter on the squad.

With the 6-0 McIntosh temporar­ ily sidelined, 6-4 Bruce Willis, son of Howard Willis '48, and Eliza­ beth (Stuen '44), will be called on with greater frequency to stabilize the floor game. Neal Andersen (6. 1), brother of former Lute Mark '67, Dick Dary (5- 1 1 ) , and Randy Leeland ( 5 - 1 0 ) , brother of another former Lute, Doug '67, are up from the frosh team and are the guards of the future.

Top frosh prospects include ('59) Roger's brother Scott Iverson, 6·0 guard from Mt. Tahoma (Tacoma), Mike Berger, 6-6 forward from Curtis (Tacoma), and Don Rowberg (6-6) forward from Spokane.

Next year PLU will mISS the services of im Hadland, 011 of the region' s top quarterba cks for the past three years, and Carlson will have to fill the ljne shoes of Steve Hillesland, D nni Harshman, Gary Huntington, Kei th Koehn and Stan Pietras. But it appears he has a greater nucleus of return ,es for next veal' than he had before the current season b gan.

Hadland brok e Marv Tommer­ vik's single game passing record in the Lewis and Clark battle, and made a determined run at Marvel­ ous Marv's season passing and to­ tal offense marks.

In many ways, this unheralded 1 9 7 1 Lute squad was as exciting as the veteran offensive machines of the past two years.

Courses were long and so was the season for Coach Jon Thie­ man's cross country corps, winless in dual and triangular competition, fifth place finishers in the N orth­ west Conference and sixth in NAIA District 1 .

Lute freshman Kevin Knapp of Rogers High School in Puyallup monopolized individual honors fOT PLU and was named to the NWC All-Star team.

Knapp, after an inauspicious 25th pia e finish at the George Fox Invitational. went on to lead the pack in dual meets with Pacific, Willamette, and Western. In the Lewis & Clark triangular meet and dual contest, Knapp \\'hitman placed second.

Knapp, whose 2 2 : 16 four mile clocking at Willamette was within 27 seconds of the course record, went on to place fifth in the NWC and came in 1 5th at the NAIA Dis­ trict meet.

To one-up the President's freeze on prices, the cost of basketball entertainment has lowered at Pa­ cific Lutheran U niversity.

It's possible, through the pur­ chase of season tickets, to get a and better deal than in 1970- 7 1 that was quite a bargain.

The price remains the same, $20 .00 per seat, but the number of home games has increased from twelve to thirteen. Thus, season tickets represent a $ 1 2 .50 reduc­ tion under the established daily price of $ 2.50 per ticket. The re­ served section, with padded seats and backrests throughout, is at mid-court in the lower stands.

For ticket information on the defending Northwest Conference champions, who open their home season Dec. 4 against Seattle Pacif­ ic, call or write the PLU Athletic Department.

ad itional important ph ses of the Loy hy progt'um .

Ongoing ervice to the university through scholarships, fatulty enrichment an d a major i nvestment in the reli­ gious life of the campus complete the broad , pectrum of 1 97 2 goals.

Even the thl:ust of the annual fund, headed by chairman Jim Feek ('66), is placing emphasis O r! the interest and involvement of alumni rather than on dol­ I "Over the past four years som 1 , 500 PLU g ra d s havl' contributed to the fund at least once, " Feek said.

"Our goal this year is to arouse enough interest to gen­ erate at least 2 ,000 responses. If we get that kind of participation, the dollar goal ( $ 7 5 , 000) will take care of itself."

Understandably, one of the major fund goals this year will be to " renovate" the Alumni House through purchases of furniture and equipment and some minor remodeling. At present the physical nature of the interior is somewhat skeletal. Plans have been prepared by the Alumni House development committee which will give the facility the type of atmosphere and functional characteristics to more efficiently provide alumni services.

Added to this is the benefit being provided the Religious Life Council. Space on the lower floor of the Alumni House has been allocated to the campus pastor, his assistant and a meeting room for students.

The foundations of the expanding alumni pro­ gram are sound. PLU placed in the top 80 out of 1 ,800 colleges in the nation for improved alumni programs last year, placing the school at the forefront of alumni _.

Fresh ideas arc often the key to successful efforts and Jim Feek ( '00 ) ' chairman of the PLU Loyalty '72 fund campaign, has them in abundance. A tribute to his low-key informal campaign styl{� and creative leadership was the record response in the first week of the mail campaign - M responses totaling more than S4,000 in pledges. He is currently making plans for area-based telethons later in the year.

programs in the Northwest. "The educational value of this alone is quite tremendous," Neufeld observed, crediting the work of fonner alumni director Jon Olson ('62), last year's acting director Edgar Larson ( ' 5 7) , and the dedicated associatlOn officers.

"Almost all corporations and foundations are using alumni performance as a gauge for gifts to the academic program of any school," he added. "Long range effects of our new approach to the alumni pro­ gram here will be an ur.grading in the amount of gifts from all sources that WIll go directly into the academic program ."

Recreation Program For Inner City Youngsters Underway At PLU Approximately 60 Model Cities neighborhood youngsters are par­ ticipating this spring in a recrea­ tional program co-sponsored by Pacific Lutheran University and Model Cities.

The program, began in January and continuing through the end of the school year, brings youngsters ages 10- 16 to PLU two Saturdays a month to participate in recreation· al activities . Bowling, swimming, basketball, soccer, billiards and shuffleboard are among the activi· ties offered, according to Larry Griggs, minority affairs coordina­ tor at PLU. Activities are conducted in groups of 10 with a college student leader for each group, Griggs incli­ cated.

"Adolescents at this age are very impressiona ble and too many of our inner city adolescents are

"The purpose of this program is to give Model neighb �ll'hood c.hildren an . oppor­ tumty for orgamzed recreatIOn and exposure to a suburban atmos­ phere . Formal instruction will enable them to develop their skills and knowledge in sports, and hope­ fully they will also develop a healthy relationship and identifica­ tion with an adult model a nd in­ sight into college life and campus atmosphere . " In addition. Griggs believes, col­ lege students working in the pro­ gram are gaining insight into what It is like to be "trapped" in the urban neighborhood . Lines of communication developed, he ob­ served, should aid in communica­ tion that will further future under­ standing and cooperation.

Who w s he') It is very difficult to say. We do know one thing.

There is a beautiful sky-blue creek named after hIm in Southern Ore­ gon. I t is a haunting name. One 's imagma . on is captured by visions of bygone days. Days of saddle� and trails, of old store fronts and back-breaking chores. Who was Jo ? And whY 'Jump Off' ' ' erh p s this mall bend i n the stream I'epre nt.ed a traditional camping spot where men, wearied of a day's Journey, would gather arou nd the evening fire swapping sl ories of adventure. Or maybe it was simply the jumping off place I for Joe's escapades.

Was Joe a member of an explo­ ratory expedition? A member of the Lewis and Clark team'? Per­ haps he was a courier for the fur companies of the early days or maybe a burly, bearded sourdough prospecting in vain for gold. Or was he an Indian?

And why should he have been called "Jump Off'? " Did the worst possibl e happen and in a moment of despair did he plunge to his death in the water below? Or did he simply jump from that rock or that sandy beach for a cool dip at the end of a hot day?

He may have been the local unsung hero 01' the life of every party. or the last man thrown out of the bar at night. He may not have been a renegade at all, but a quiet gentleman of leisure or even a man of wealth. Could it be that he served well his fellowman and he was immortalized in a poem or ballad by the name of "J ump Off Joe ! " Whoever h e was w e know there will always be a creek in his name forming part of Oregon geography.

This creek will be crossed by thou­ sands and thousands of motorists, each of whom will probably won­ der and remark about the peculiar name. And that's all they will be able to do, just wonder, because they'll never really know. For most of us who travel that highway Jump· Off Joe will be just a name.

I have in front of me now at my desk a new computerized print-{)ut of every known alumni of PLU. The list is nearly four inches thick,

weIghs a good seven pounds and represents 8,000 people. To a large tent most of t.hese people on this Jist. at least for the time being, are names like Jump Off Joe. I c only peculate who they are be­ cause I know very little about them . Y ur name is probably among th m.

When letters go oul from thi, office they 'are written In as per I possible. sonal a �tyle as

probably will never quite apture the truly personal element in our c orrespondence and communica­ tion bee se there is 'ust no way at I an possi Iy get to know you all.

It is doubly important then that we hear from you from time to time. Why not drop a note to the alumni office today and let us know "where it's at" for you this ye r .

Loyalty ' 72

By Roy Virak Preside nt, PLU Alumni Association

This is the theme for our annual Alumni Fund Drive. The chairman of the drive this year is Jim Feek, class of '66. He has done an excel­ lent job in developing the materi­ als and organizing the drive. This takes a great deal of time ilnd Jim and his committee have given gen­ erously and gladly. Now it is up to the rest of us.

Our goal this year is $75,000.

The annual fund drive is the back­ bone of our Alumni program . This is the means for us to make a con­ tribution to our university. It is the only way we have to provide schol­ arships to sons and daughters of alumni each year, to contribute to special symposia and homecoming, . to provide special awards to var­ ious departments for worthwhile projects that could not be funded­ ded in their regular budgets, e.g. van for the mobile TV equipment, microfilming equipment for the registrars office, two thousand dol­ lars to the School of Business Ad­ ministration to strengthen their section in the library, service ymnals for the student congrega­ tIOn, etc, Twenty per cent of our drive this year will go towards the nec­ essary remodeling and renovation

�

ITS f:p(j.)) , .}..'1 A LUMNI A�IA:nOf.l1J.IBf( WANT To � WHAT I'M DDIN6 ! '

of the Alumni House. This "House" has really been a boon to the Al­ umni Association and the universi­ ty. Those of you who have been able to stop by - and we have more and more alums doing this appreciate how nice it is to have a place to meet. This is where stu­ dents and alumni can get together.

We have plenty of room, but the arrangement is awkward. With the remodeling and added equipment we will have efficiency as well.

Through special gifts we already have a good start on the costs of remodeling and hope to start dur­ ing spring vacation.

Our own Association operating costs continue to rise also. It is the fashion to blame .. inflation" for rising costs and I 'm sure there is som e truth to this. However, in our case, I think it is our own growth both in numbers and in program that have increased our operating costs. And this type of increase is desirable. Each year, of course. we have more alumni ; but also each year we have more and more al­ umni who appreciate the unique combination of quality education and an environment that encour­ ages one to relate and integrate it into everyday Christian living.

These people want to preserve this for their children and generations to come, !lnd they are making . . theIr contrIbutions to the Alumni Association.

We are funded by the U niversi­ ty and they have been very respon­ sive to our budgetary requests. By the same token, I feel it is our re­ sponsibility, or perhaps obligation would be a better word, to pay back all of these operating costs to the university. In the past we have done this my making an undesig­ . nated gIft each year to the univer­ sity which equals or exceeds our operating expenses.

The only way we have been able to keep expenses down and yet accomplish the things we have is because the alums have contrib­ uted so much in time and effort as well as money.

I think loyalty is a good word to use for our annual fund drive. It connotes faithfulness, a willingness to put forth some effort to put our­ selves out a little for the things we believe in. I think our goal is a reasonable one and perhaps we can surpass it. If you haven't re­ sponded to the ini tial mailings you have received, may I urge you to do so now while we're thinking about it.

It wasn't man ' years ago that the alumni of a university were conCronted with an open hand and a closed door. The impJi ation was, "we want your money but we don 't ant you " Today, things are changing. rr the re elali ns of the '60's taught us one lesson , it's that edu­ cation is a continuing process. The termin I degree, at whatever level , just isn' t good enough fur n age in 'which a person may be required to re-educate for a different job every decade.

As never before, the university can be of re I and valuable service to its graduates. Pacific Lutheran University has recognized this fact and has begun to provide alumni with concrete educational oppor­ tunities.

The University 's CHOICE ornce ( Center for Human Orgaruzation In Changing Environments ) conducts workshops and seminars in human relations, marriage. theology and urban problems, for both alumni and members of the community.

The Mortvedt Library has made Associate Memberships available to all alumni which gives them access to the latest in texts, per­ iodicals and recorded media.

Alumni are encouraged to par­ ticipate in PLU education seminars in foreign lands, such as this summer's upcoming tour 0 Israel.

Many Puget Sound area alumni take advantage of the U niversity's extensIve late afternoon, evening and summer offerings to increase their expertise in their chosen fields.

Scene and Reflections, two Uni­ versity publications which have become household reading materi­ al for most alumni, include news not only of the university family. but also provide faculty and stu­ dent insight into contemporary is­ sues and problems, from a Chris­ tian perspective.

There Are Many Ways To Build

Increasing numbers of PLU gr aduates ar availin themselves of our placement services in both the general University placement office and through the School f Education. A placement offic r was appointed last year to facili­ tate th is operatIOn These are but a few xamples of the ways in which PLU stands in continuing service to its alumni The many pe onal . professional contacts, particularly those devel­ oped between alumni and faculty, are nearl y dS numerous as 0 r graduates.

But perhaps the greatest "serv­ ice" that PLU provides is to be found in the educational tradition which it sustains for the children and grandchildren of Oll alumni The maintenance of Christ-cen­ tered education requires the moral and personal support of each of us.

I discovered an interesting fig­ ure several days ago which rein­ forces my belief tbat this Universi· ty owes a great debt to all those who have come before us, includ­ ing many alumni.

If one divides this year's audit . report on the worth of our physical plant and equipmeRt by our num­ ber of full-time students, one finds that there is an approximate in­ vestment of $8,000 in facilities for each full-time tudent.

This figure conceals a story that must be told, a story of the faith and commitment of those who have worked to build this institu­ tion. This is perhaps the greatest recommend ation any university can have.

In the future, we envision an even closer fraternal tie between our alumni and our University.

The Alumni Services Committee is continually reviewing proposals and suggestions on how we might strengthen our services for our mutual benefit.

We welcome your suggestions.

Trad itionally, persons interested in sup­ porting higher education think of giving in terms of money - or real property - and usual­ ly lots of it.

But let's take a second look.

Today, Pacific Lutheran University re­ ceives many different kinds of gifts - ranging in value from a few dollars to many thousands of dollars.

Some Gifts are quite unusual - like these : • A residential estate • A greenhouse , complete with a collection of orchids • Book s • Some unique rocks and minerals • A collection of music • Art objects • Scientific equipment And many others.

Interesting? We think so. And we're ap­ precia tive.

W he� giving does involve money or prop­ . erty, It IS no longer necessarily a one-way street.

The onor, working with our estate plan­ . nIng servIce. can also receive benefits - for himself or a loved one.

Benefi ts like these : • A guaranteed lifetime annual return (of up to 10 percent ) in exchange for money or property " An income which is largely tax-free • A reduced federal income tax • Freedom from the woeries of money management and fluctuations in the economy • Help in reduction or avoidance of pro­ bate, capital gains and estate taxes as provid­ ed by the United States Congress And many other possibilities.

Interesti ng? We think so. And we're en­ thusiastic.

We invite you to check into the possibilities with us.

PLU's Third Interim Reflects Times : Analysis And Pragmatism Two years ago Pacific Lutheran University offered a month-long January interim for the first time.

Reflecting the nature of the times, the eourse offerings then read like a checklist of national crises: pov­ erty, pollution, racism, drugs.

As more than 2,200 students enrolled for the university's third inteJim in January, class offerings tended to emphasize analysis rath­ er than crisis. The attitude seemed to be, "We know what the prob­ lems are . Now what are we going to do about them?"

R�presentative of the "new look" courses were: Environmen­ tal Concerns - defining, evaluating, selecting and pursuing strategies for needed change, an mterdepart­ mental offering by professors from the chemistry, sociology and eco­ nomIcs departments ; - Health Care Delivery Sys­ tems . a course offered by a team of professors from business admin­ istration, chemistry, nursing and sociology, with emphasis on field experience, - Economic Development of Low Income Regions - an analysis of governmental programs in such places as Appalachia, Indian reser­ vations and ghettos; and - Exploring Vocational Possi­ bilities for Minority Stude nts - the investigation of post-high school careers available, along with relat­ ed motivations, attitudes and aspi­ rations .

Foreign study tours were of­ fered as in the past, with more than 1 00 students leaving for such p aces as Mexico, Norway, the· European continent and Hawaii.

Most of the tours emphasized the studies of language, culture and history, and ar� �nerally interdewife. CHARLENE ( BOWLING x '61 ) ilave two children : Kurt Loren 8 and Alynne Marie 5.

partmental in nature.

On campus, some 82 courses were offered , with religion, sociol­ ogy and physical education sub­ j ects among those in the greatest demand. A course in Body Lan­ guage was surprisingly popular, as is an offering entitled Pre-Modern European Occult.

Jewish culture received new at­ tention with the addition of studies in Jewish literature offered in both the religion and English depart­ ments.

Radical philosophy was not ig­ nored, but took a new tack, with a course, The Radical Historians, offered by the history department, and an offering by the religion department entitled Jesus and the Revolutionaries.

More than 40 students from pri­ vate colleges and universities across the country took their inter­ im at PLU as part of a nationwide exchange program. Twenty-nine PLU students studied on other campuses.

The number of students en­ rolled during interim represented more than 90 per cent of the fall semester full-time e nrollment, a pattern that has remained relative­ ly stable in the three years of the interim program. Stude nts , howev­ er, are only required to register for two interims during their four­ year undergraduate program.

The interim is a one-month per­ iod between 14-week se mesters during which students may concen­ trate on one subject in depth, rath­ er than the three or four course load of a normal semester. Stu­ dents are also encouraged to use the interim to explore subjects in areas outside their major fields of study.

PLU Students� Hunger Fast Raises Funds For Needy In Pierce County A 24-hour fast involving more than 90 per cent of the PLU stu­ dent body raised over $ 1 ,500 for Tacoma area food banks early in March .

PLU'S University Center dining ball was nearly empty as students observed bunger fast.

PLU Students Help Indians Save Community From Flood Waters "Hurry, the flood water is rising."

The urgent call for help was answered Wednesday, March 1, in a mat­ ter of minutes by more than 300 PLU students, who raced toward Frank's Landing to help the Indians of the Nisqually reservation save their homes from the rising water of the Nisqually River.

The students began to arrive at about 1 0 : 3 0 . p. m. a!ld f?und darkness.

The Army Corp. of Engineers who were supplymg a IIghtmg system had already gone. . . .

The situation was desperate as the students Jomed the IndIan workers.

Even though the Indians had been working most of the day, the waters had advanced 30 feet on their settlement.

It was a time for improvisation. A resident of Fran�'s Lan�i�g brought out a flood light and the workers took to the gravel pIles. WIthin an hour, thousands of sandbags had been filled. . .

The following day a reduced force of PLU students Jomed a group from Evergreen State College in helping to place the b�gs. The work con­ tinued through Saturday, when the NatIonal Guard arnved to handle the emergency for the rest of the weekend.

Nineteen-plus inches of rain in the first two months of �9.72, more than twice the normal average, brought about the flood condItIons. The cooperative effort between students, Indians and government, however, saved the Indian settlement from severe damage.

Group Asks Use Of Truck For Recycling Effort In spite of the lack of one impor­ tant item, a group of students has opened a glass and aluminum recy­ cling center at PLU. The missing item is a truck, bad­ ly needed to transport the glass to Seattle . The truck would be need­ ed about once every two weeks for four hours at a time.

Currently the project is being run by members of the Human

Ecology class in conjunction with the Men's Presidents Council. Sat­ urday morning pickups are made at the residence halls, dining areas and coffee shops. ,

Any local alumnus who owns or knows of a truck that would be available periodically, contact Tra­ cy Totten, LE 1-6900, ext. 1 292, or Dean of Men Philip Beal, ext. 203.

The fast was a part of a week· long educational campaign intend­ ed to focus student and community attention on the problem of hun­ ger, particularly in Pierce County.

Though participation in the fast far exceeded the 50 per cent ex­ pected and raised enough money to feed over 1 ,000 people for a week, the primary purpose of the effort was to build awareness, ac­ cording to Robert Boreson, a cam· paign co-chairman.

In making the educational ef­ fort, the committee scheduled a series of speeches, films and dis­ cussions. The week began with a student congregation service de­ voted to the subject of hunger and fasting.

On the second day there was a continuous showing of films on hunger and poverty from mid-af­ ternoon through the evening. A representative from Zero Popula­ tion Growth in Sea ttle was also on hand .

Residence hall discussions were led by representatives from both the campus and the community.

Speakers from both religious and social institutions in Tacoma gave presentations during the final day of the campaign.

Boreson attributed the success of the campaign and the fast to the cooperation of the campus food services staff and individuals who canvassed the residence halls solic­ iting fast registrations.

The campaign was the result of interest and commitment sparked by a January interim class. The class was headed by Robert Men­ zel, director of the Center for Human Organization in Changing Environments (CHOICE), PLU's four-year-old social action agency.

Entitled Media / Action Strategy for the Quality of Life, the class was devoted to subjects such as population, environment, hunger, land use and the like.

The PLU students wanted to do somethmg to help and to revive interest m the program and the campaign was the result.

Spencer Named Editor of PLU M ooring Mast Robert Spencer of Portland, Ore . , has been named editor of the Pacific Lutheran University stu­ dent newspaper, the Mooring Mast.

Spencer, who has previously served as a reporter on both the Mooring Mast and the Portland State University Vanguard, will head the newspaper staff during the upcoming sprmg semester and the 1 972 fall semester.

Announcement of Spencer's selection was made by the PLU faculty-student publications board .

A 1 965 graduate of U.S. Grant High School in Portland, Spencer attended Portland State University for one year. After serving a one­ term enlistment in the U.S. Navy, he enrolled at PLU in 1970.

Spencer, who is maj oring in phi­ losophy and classics, intends to encourage student dialogue from staffers and non-staffers alike within the pages of the Mooring Mast.

He succeeds John Beck, a senior from Marysville, as editor of the weekly publication .

Rotary International Honors P L U Student Jay McClaugherty of Long Beach, Calif., a sophomore at PLU will attend the University of Oslo in Norway next year on a Rotary Foundation Scholarship.

Students became aware that food banks in Pierce County had distributed 68,000 food parcels during the last six months of 1 9 7 1 , including 18,000 in December alone. The food banks, staffed and supplied by volunteers, had to turn away thousands \.n January as con­ tributions slowed to a crawl.

Children's Theatre On The Road: A Wann Experience During A Cold January During the latter part of �� nuary, when �ost Tacomans �ere trying to stay off the slippery, ICY roads, PaCifiC Lutheran Umver­ sity 's Children's Theatre. company was taking to the road for the first time in its IS-year history.

A 17-member company, which included seven cas! member�, five stage crew members, four musicians and creat�r-dl�ector EriC Nordholm, presented the play, " drocles and th� L�on, , to school­ children in the Sumner and Peninsula School Districts and to the children's ward at Madigan General Hospital.

�

"The cast enjoyed the trips immensely, " . Nordholm, assoc!ate professor of communication arts at PLU, said. " �hey found It a . valuable experience to learn to play on different Sized stages and under different conditions."

He noted that the Madigan performance had been given in a ward space no more than six by 10 feet in size. T ere was n� room for sets. "But it was probably the cast member .s most enjoyable

?

experience because they performed right with the audience," he added.

Children'S Theatre at PLU annually plays before 8-10,000 local . youngsters at spring and fall performances. Most of the children are bussed to the campus from the Franklin-Pierce, Clover Park, Bethel and Eatonville School Districts. .

Nordholm offered the road company project as a January In­ terim class. The company remained intact for the spring camp,:, s production of "Androcles ", which was the first two weekends In March. .

Quite naturally, it is the Lion, played by PLU freshman Jim Johnson who is the most popular with the youngsters. Several let­ ters an pictures sent to the cast from the children begin, "Hi, -Lion " or "Dear Jim." r specific lines of Lion dialogue are recalled verbatim in the captions. "Roar, roar," they read.

It was a warm experience during a cold January.

Alumni Host Special Events For Seniors A

series of special events for

PLU seniors is being offered this

spring by the PLU Alumni Associa­ tion board underclass activities committee.

A pizza feed, attended by some 50 alumni and more than 300 stu­ dents, mostly seniors, was held Feb. 24 in the Cave at the Univer­ sity Center. Pizza was free and alumni had an opportunity to talk to the students about their educa­ tional experiences and the role of alumni in university affairs follow­ ing graduation.

During the last two weeks of April, PLU seniors are being invit­ ed to a eries of coffee hours at the Alumni House. Purpose of the program is to explain the function of the Alumni Association.

H I rs. Lawrence Hauge ('52) is chairman of the underclass activi­ ties committee.

ert Menzel, director of the CHOICE center, offers sessions under the title, "The Human Po­ tential Movement and Church" .

The Human Relations Skills workshop is led by Dr. Ronald Jorgenson, a sista nt professor of educatIOn a t PLU and an educa­ tional psycho logist . Participants will be able to practice s mall group leadership l mdel supervision and with the aid of videotape .

Lay-Clergy Model B uilding for Mission will focus on issues con­ fronting the church: polarization, role and goal confusion and career planning. Dr. John Hoff, a pastoral psychologist and director of tra in ­ ing for the Pastoral Insti tute of Washington, and Menzel will con­ duct the sessions .

An intensive parish training workshop for clergy and laymen, headed by Rev. Robert Hoyt, director of the National Parish Training Laboratory of Columbus, Ohio, will be offered July 17-27.

"The workshops are geared for participation by lay church people, men and women, as well as cler­ gy," Menzel said. "There is a defi­ nite need for laymen ,to participate in continuing educational efforts of the church. The clergy need their input . " T o encourage lay participation, a fraternal benevolence grant from members of the Aid Association for Lutherans will provIde scholar­ ship assistance for Lutheran lay­ men as well as clergy whose COll­ gregations do not provide assist­ ance for continuing education .

A scholarship grant from the Board for Theological Education, American Lutheran Church, makes it possible to subsidize ALC pas­ tors.

Further information may be obtained by contacting Menzel c / o the C HOICE office at PLU.

Photography Show Features Work Of PLU Alumnus A one-man photographic exhibi­ tion by alumnus Mike Lundstrom was held in January at the PLU University Center.

The exhibition included 40 black and white prints, some measuring as much as six feet across. All re­ flected a journalistic style, though Lundstrom considers the photo­ graphs to be portraits .

"Whether it's of a man, a house or a banana, a portrait is merely a description," he explained .

Sports events were the subjects in several photos. Last spring Lundstrom won first and second place in a Northwest region Asso­ ciated Press sports photography contest held in Sun Valley, Id. The winning photographs were in the show.

Lundstrom. a student at PLU from 1 963-65, is supervisor of pho­ tographic services at the Universi­ ty of Idaho in Moscow, Id . He re­ ceived his education in photogra­ phy at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, and has worked as a journalist and free lance photographer in Washington, California and Idaho.

Record Number OJ Nursing Students Capped

Dr. H. Paul Santmire

A record number of sophomore nursing students at PLU were honored during the annual nurses' capping ceremony Sunday, Feb. 6.

Sixty five students received caps from their . resp 'ctive clinical in­ structors during the impreSSIVe candlelight c eremony, held in East­ voId A uditorium. The largest clas' to previ ously be capped at PL U numbered 47, according to nr.

Voris Stu ke, director of the PLU Sch ool of Nursing.

Th eme of the program , "Thresh­ hold of a Dream ," was also the top­ ic selected by thE! featured speak­ er, Mrs. Linda Olson, assistant pro­ fessor of nursing at PLU .

Undergraduate Research Program In PhYSics Strengthened By Grant A $ 1 5,400 Cottrell College Sci­ ence Grant from the Research Corporation of New York has been awarded to the Pacific Lutheran University Department of Physics.

The grant will be used to sup­ port research in polarizability of matter, according to Dr. K. T. Tang and Dr. Sherman Nornes, physics professors at PLU. Th major portion of the funds, they indicated, will support a post­ doctoral teaching-researeh fellow who will be added to the PLU physics staff. It will also provide summer salaries for the principle researchers and summer stipends for three students.

The funded program is unique in that it ( 1 ) adds a young scholar to the staff who can contribute both as a researcher and teacher while gaining valuable profession­ al experience ; (2) frees professors Tang and Nornes from a portion of their teaching load to participate in the research program ; and (3) adds emphasis to the undergradu­ ate research program, helps pre­ pare students for advanced study and provides additional opportuni­ ties for gifted students involved in the department's honors program.

The proposed research is a theo­ retical investigation of the frequen­ cy dependent polarizability of mat­ ter, the most elementary optical response function to the interac­ tion of radiation with atoms and . molecules. An example of the phe­ nomena occurs when light from the sun interacts with the atoms and molecules in the earth's atmos­ phere.

According to Nornes, attempts to compute the infinite sums that make up the dispersion formula have either been prohibitively dif­ ficult or have yielded results of unknown accuracy. Anticipated

Local Al nl11l1i Picnic Slated This summer Puget Sound area alumni will hold their fourth an­ nual family picnic at Dash Point State Park.

The picnic will begin at 1 : 00 p.m. in the lower picnic area, Sat­ urday, June 1 7 . The park is located on the Sound between Tacoma and Federal Way.

studies at PLU will hopefully pro­ vide new criteria for judging the reliability of these measurements and to stimulate further experi­ mental work in this area.

As important as the research aspect, however, is the expansion of quality undergraduate e�� ca­ tion and research opportumtIes, Tang indicated .

Forums To Focus On Puget Sound Area Problems Problems of the aging, Tacoma port development and no-fault in­ surance will be discussed in depth during the Puget Sound Problems and Promises Forum at Pacific Lutheran University in April.

The forum, presented by the School of Business Administration at PLU, will be held on each of the last three Thursdays in April. The programs will be led by guest ex­ perts and a student panel, with public participation welcomed.

All programs will be held in the University Center at 8 p.m.

The need for better services to the elderly will be the focus of the April 13 program. Guest partici­ pants are John McPherson, direc­ tor of the Washington State Coun­ cil on Aging, and Dr. Neale Nel­ son, assistant professor of sociolo­ gy at PLU. Developments along Bayside Drive in Tacoma, deep water berths and cultural and recreation­ al developments and their relation­ ship to the Port of Tacoma are the concerns of the April 20 forum.

Participating are Robert Evans, member of the board of the Wash­ ington Environmental Council, and Ron Nelson, Tacoma city planner.

Washington State Representa­ tive R. Ted Bottiger and William Lanthorn, attorney for Safeco In­ surance, will be featured during the April 27 forum, which deals with the economic and legal impact of the no-fault insurance question.

The PLU Alumni Association is providing direct assistance to the forum project as a part of the al­ umni continuing education pro­ gram.

Spotlight On Alumni Biology Prof 's Research Provides Glin1pse At Earth's Ancient Past Why? Heyer admitted it was a question frequently asked in a so­ ciety which has become sociologi­ cally-oriented .md accustomed to rapid answers, wise or otherwise, to omplex question s . " Th e ecoJ ooy o f the trnpics i!:i far different f om that of t emper­ ate cl imates," he an� vered. " Our u n de rs tan ding of th 'se pa ll e rns are so l imIted t h at it affects not only OUr com prehensioll of plant and a llimal life but of the t ro pi ca l man a, well."

A paIr of recent research tri ps to South America by a Pacific Lu­ theran U niversity biology profes­ sor have resulted in the discovery of a n w frog species an d a tanta­ hring gl impse at the eart h ' s an­

JIeyer saId. The specie , he indicated, 'l re ugly little critters, quite unlike the many colorful and physically i n­ tnguing species often found in the tropics.

But physical characteristics aren't the most fascinating aspects of Heyer's research. Rather it is hO\\I the frogs exploit their envi­ ronment which offers a speculative insight into the primeval adapta­ tions which would have been nec­ essary for amphibian creatures to become entirely terrestrial.

"These organisms are living under the same conditions as their ancestors millions of years ago," Heyer asserted. "While the majori­ ty of modern amphibians are found in the sloppy wet tropics, Leptodactylus are found in rela­ tively arid regions. " There are three types o f Lepto­ dactylus that create a foam nest to provide moisture for their eggs, according to Heyer. "The more

primitive ones lay the nests on water," he explained. "A more advanced group lays the eggs on a nest in an underground chamber, and rains wash the tadpoles into ponds.

"The most advanced also lay eggs underground, but the yolk sustains the young throughout the tadpole stage. This type is entirely terrestrial," Heyer pointed out.

"These characteristics at least suggest possible ways that amphib­ ians originally made the transition to land, " he observed.

Most of Heyer's work, however, is not speCUlative. The South American trips provided the ex­ citement of adventure and discov­ ery, but it is in his small PLU lab that the major research work is done : figuring out distri-bution patterns and tying them in with geo­ logical events ; studying chromo­ somes and their relationships and microscopic parasites of th-e frog and their relationships. Working with live specimens makes this work somewhat easier.

Heyer's trip::, ant.! research have been financed by a ' 1 5 ,800 grant from the National Science Founda­ tion. His w ork as a herpetologist has become widely known and re­ spected as a result of earlier re­ search work in we�tern Mexico and Thailand.

Accompanied by his wife Miriam ,w d daughter Laura, Heyer stayc( at a Wycliffe missionary camp in Equador, sharing a home with an­ other PLU alumnus. David Pear­ son ( ' 67), who is researching bird ecology for a doctorate from the University of Washington While a tribe of jungle savages, the Aucus, live in the same region, Heyer not­ ed that the primary dangers where he was working were various types of tropical diseases.

During the school year Hf'yer and his students are involved in ecological studies in the local area.

They seek not only to " beautify" the environment but to determine natural balances of plant and ani­ mal life and attempt to preserve them.

A native of Spokane, Heyer did his undergraduate work at PLU and his graduate studies at the University of Southern California.

Versatile Adventurer Lute Jerstad Makes Danger, Challenge A Career In an age when office desks and television sets are a way of life for vast numbers of people, Lute Jer­ stad is unique.

Life and death challenges, for years a "passtime," have now be­ come a way of life for the slight but indefatigable adventurer. The 1958 PLU graduate, who was one of the successful conquerors of Mount Everest during the famous 1 963 expedition, has recently or­ ganized his own commercial adven­ ture venture, Lute Jerstad Adven­ tures. He offers tours and trips of every kind, from skiing trips in the Northwest to treks through the awesome Himalayas. .Jerstad visited PL U in .January, offering an inspiring personal message and a film of the 1963 expedition. The latter was featured thi S m onth on a network television program, National Geographic .

A 5-8 varsity basketball player at PLU , Jerstad earned a Ph. D . in

Asian theater at Washington State University and taught for several years at a private college in Ore­ gon. (Considering his obvious empathy with great explorers and adventurers of the past, is it any coincidence that the college hap­ pened to be named Lewis and Clark ? ) His " contradictory" roles con­ fused people for some time.

Patented Late Season Win Streak Assures 25th Straight Winning Year

,

By Jim Kittilsby

It was a silver anniversary year for PLU basketball in 1971-72 as the Lutes fashioned a 1 5- 1 1 mark to stretch the consecutive winning season streak to 25 years. Not since Gene Lundgaard first set foot on the PLU maples in the winter of 1947 have the Lutes suffered a los­ ing season.

But, just as every marriage has its ups and downs, the Lute-bas­ ketball success relationship tee­ tered on the brink of disaster in December and plans for the cake and reception were held in abey­ ance. The Lutes' eight lettermen played like strangers and after eight games PLU was 2-6 overall, 0-2 in Northwest Conference play.

An overbalancing of seniors Ake Palm, Mike Willis, Bruce Wil­ lis, Tom Patnode, Don Martonik, Don Lehmen, and Terry Finseth plus a supporting group of some­ what comparable ability, contribut­ ed to a musical chairs style offense and rarely was the same lineup in vogue for two nights in a row in the early going. Nine different _

Ten PLU swimmers qualified for the NAIA national swim meet in Minnesota March 2325. From left, Terry Ludwig, Ricb Wright, Mike Osborne, John Hansen, Bob Loverin, Kevin Kernen, Pete Carder, Bill Armstrong, Mike Branam and coach Gary Chase. Not pictured, diver Dave Hansen.

Eleven Lute Swimmers Qualify For Nations In Record-Breaking Year They're still attempting to ascer­ tain how many PLU pool and school records were broken this year by the Lute swim team. Some were broken, rebroken, then shat­ tered. Old marks were being erased with such ho-hum regulari­ ty by the Northwest Conference champions, who qualified 1 1 swim­ mers for the NAIA national meet, that swim coach Gary Chase may require the service of an auditor.

One thing that was easy to count, however, was the number of wins at the Northwest Conference swim meet. With only two seniors on the squad, the Lutes won seven­ teen of the eighteen events and bettered the combined point total of the next two finishers.

With the wholesale assault on records, mere winners of events were nearly forgotten . Attempting to make a late season invitational meet competitive, Chase deliber­ ately mismatched swimmers with events only to find records still in jeopardy. Kevin Kernen, swim­ ming the 1 000 yard freestyle com­ petitively for the first time in his career, bettered the PLU pool record oy 1 2 . 3 seconds!"

Entries for the national meet and the individual events, exclu­ sive of relays, in which they quali­ fy include: Bill Armstrong, Great Falls, Mont. - 50 freestyle; Mike Branam, Yakima - 200 breast­ stroke, Pete Carder, Tacoma 200 freestyle, 500 freestyle; Dave Hansen, Modesto, Calif. - one and three meter diving; John Hansen, Auburn - 200 individual medley, 400 individual medley; Kevin Ker­ nen, Tacoma - 200 butterfly, 500 freestyle; Terry Ludwig, Bellevue -- 200, 500, and 1650 freestyle ; Mike Osborne, Eureka, Calif. -

Harshman, Iverson Inducted Into NAIA Basketball Hall Of Fame Two of the most illustrious fig­ ures from the Golden Era of PLU basketball, Marv Harshman ( '42) and Roger Iverson (' 59), were named this month to the NAIA Basketball Hall of Fame.

Lute mentor from 1946-58 and now head coach at the University of Washington, Harshman was the only coach selected this year for the NAIA's greatest honor. Iver­ son, a Lute standout from 1956-59, one of three named this year in the player category, is the first player selected from the Pacific North­ west in 20 years.

Harshman, who this year posted a 20-6 record with the Huskies in his first campaign, the best UW mark since 1 953, was reunited with Iverson, his sparkplug guard, at induction ceremonies in Kansas City March 1 7 . It was Iverson's second trip to Kansas City in a year. Last spring he was named to the all-time NAIA All-Tournament team.

Harshman began coaching at PLU in 1945 and compiled a 2361 1 1 record in 1 3 seasons. He led PLU to five Evergreen Conference championships and the Lutes com­ peted in the NAIA regional play­ offs in 10 of his last 1 1 years at PLU. He took four teams to Kansas City for the national tournament, and in three of those years his squads were sparked by a guard named Iverson. Harsh's 1 957 team finished third in the NAIA. At Washington State Harshman compiled a 1 55-181 record in 1 3 seasons. He posted his 400th car­ eer coaching win at U of W earlier this year.

Iverson was an All-Evergreen Conference guard for four consec­ utive years from 1956-59. In addi­ tition to his prowess as a floor general, he scored 1 ,820 career

points and is the second leading scorer in PLU history .

With Chuck Curtis and Jim Van Beek, Iverson led the Lutes to 100 victories against 1 6 losses in four years.

He is currently a teacher and counselor at Peninsula High School in Gig Harbor, Wash.

Lute Wrestlers Finish Second In Conference Coach Roy Carlson is year by year guiding Lute wrestlers up the Northwest Conference ladder, progressing from fifth in 1970 to third in 1971 and to second this year. This season he tutored a con­ ference champion and sent two matmen to the NAIA national meet in Klamath Falls, Ore. For the Lutes, who were 5-5 in dual matches, Gary Berner suc­ cessfully defended his 1 58-pound conference title. The sophomore from Oak Harbor was elIminated in the first round of the NAIA na­ tional tourney.

Bob Hervey, 167-pound champi­ on in 1971, dropped a narrow 2-1 decision in the finals of the NWC meet to place second this season.

Hervey was victorious in his first match at the NAIA nationals but dropped a decision to a California Lutheran wrestler in the quarter­ finals.

In the Northwest Conference tournament, Gary Simon ( 142) and Jim Boyer ( 1 77) placed second, while Otto Petersen ( 1 26), Jon Stedje ( 1 34), and Glenn Davis ( 1 91) took third place honors.

Lutes at one time or another held game scoring honors, yet consist­ ency was not there. Only Ake Palm was putting the double figure per­ formances back to back.

Not demoralized by such a lack­ luster start, the Lutes picked up the scoring tempo and began to bounce back. At the 2-6 juncture, the Lutes tripped Lewis-Clark State 85-63 and Pacific 86-62 and seemingly were putting it all to­ gether again. A disastrous back court foul with one second remain­ ing cost the Lutes the Willamette game 63-62 and the Bearcats went on to tie Lewis & Clark for the conference championship. This was followed by an uninspired out­ ing against Central which PLU lost 72-62.

Enter Neal Andersen, the return of Tom Patnode to 1970-71 form, and the transformation of Bruce Willis from guard to forward.

Andersen, sophomore from Los Alto�, Calif., and Qroth_er of former Lute star Mark Andersen, '67, showed promise in early season games with the junior varsity.

Lundgaard saw in him a speedster who could negate the opposition's full court press which was paralyz­ ing the Lute offense and causing numerous turnovers.

Andersen delivered, cavorting quickly about the court, averaging 9.3 pomts per game and shooting a sharp 56 per cent from the floor.

Patnode, an all-conference second team selection in 1 9 7 1 , rose to the occasion, picking up his scoring and improving on all facets of floor play.

Bruce Willis more than doubled his scoring output of the previous year and, as acting team captain after a leg injury shelved Lyle McIntosh for the season, the 6-4 Auburn native stabilized the Lute floor game. Shifted to forward when Andersen was elevated to the varsity, Bruce seven times scored in double figures and reached a career high of 22 points against Lewis & Clark.

With these developments, the Lutes won 1 1 of the remaining 14 games, losing only to Whitworth (which was later avenged), Willa­ mette (a second time) and Universi­ ty of Puget Sound. Routed early in the season on the road by Lewis & Clark 105-75 and Whitworth 10470, Lute recuperative power was evident in the turnabout 1 00-78 and 90-83 wins at home. Three times in one week PLU scored over 100 points.

Finishing in a tie for third in the NWC and bypassed for the NAIA playoffs, the Lutes concluded on a losing note, bowing to UPS in a 8 1 7 7 thriller. In that tilt Ake Palm scored 37 points - a career high, tied a single game field goal mark with 16, set a single game field goal percentage record ( 1 6 for 17, .941), and broke the season percen­ tage mark with a .610 figure and the career mark with . 526. Averag­ ing 1 7 . 1 for the season, Ake fin­ ished his PLU career with 1 ,481 points, moving from the No. 1 1 spot on the all-time career scoring list to No. 5, passing Gene Lund­ gaard during the final game.

Forrest E. " Frosty" Westering, athletic director and football coach t Lea College in Albert Lea, Mmn., since 1966, has been named the new head football coach at PLU. He will also serve as asso­ ciate professor in the School of Physical Education.

In making the announcement, PLU President Eugene Wiegman stated, "I am impressed by his pos­ itiv ou tlook on life and his enthu­ or the role athletics and si asm academics play in the development of a young man.

F l lowing a four-yea! M arin hitch, Westering divided his under­ graduate studies between N orth­ western and the University of Omaha. He earned football letters as an offensive end at both schools.

His masters work was completed at Colorado State in 1960.

As a high school coach, he com· piled a 47-21-3 record in eight sea­ sons.

Westering has been recognized for his active civic contributions by the National Community Leaders of America. He has been a district chairman of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, was named to the 1970 edition of Outstanding Educators of America and was a candidate for the Iowa Interscho­ lastic Football Hall of Fame.

team that finished 4-21 last season.

Paul Hoseth. coach of the de· fending NWC track and field champions, has weightmen galore and Lute behemoths should again dominate the field in the shot and discus. Randy Shipley has already broken his 1971 school shotput record and the conference champi­ on will be pushed by NWC run· nerup, teammate Dan Pritchard, while fellow gridder George Van Over has good potential. Pritchard captured the NWC discus title fol­ lowed closely by another returnee, Stan Pietras. John Oberg, confer· ence champion in both the 120 high hurdles and 440 intermediate fences, and Neil Martin, 440 titlist, are other reasons why the Lutes should be highly regarded.

In rowing, the Lute varsity four is the dominant group among four racing units, having received na­ tional recognition in 1970 with a victory in the West Coast Sprints and a third place finish at the I RA Regatta. Two rowers will be back to muscle the 1972 entry, Jim Put­ tler and Conrad Hunziker, with Gray Rhoads and Stan Olsen likely oarsmen at the other vacancies.

Doug Herland is the coxswain.

Five lettermen return from the golf team that captured the NWC title a year ago. All-Conference Blake Bostrom, NWC medlalist i n 1971 is joined b y Jeff Spere, Rick Alflen, Gary Rick, and Eric Feste.

As a preliminary to the conference meet, the Lutes participate in the six course Northwest Small Col­ lege Classic.

Power on the serve and return is a welcome asset in tennis, and Coach Mike Benson is hoping for a show of muscle to give the Lute netters a lift above the 3-10 season of last year. Three letter winners, Jim Sheets, Ted Carlson, and Tom Baker. should receive help from a promising freshman crop.

PL U Presents Honorary Degree To Physician To The Maya Indians

Dr. Carroll Behrhorst, left, physician to the Maya Indians in Guatemala, received an honorary doctor of humane letters degree from Pacific Lutheran University May 21.

With him are PLU President Eugene Wiegman, center, and Board of Regent� chairman Michael Dederer.

580 New Alums Receive Degrees At PLU 1972 Commencement A total of 580 degrees were con­ ferred during commencement ex· ercises at Pacific Lutheran Univer­ sity Sunday, May 2 1 .

The PLU graduating class of 1 972 included 497 seniors and a record 82 graduate students.

Dr. Carroll Behrhorst, long-time medical missionary to Guatemala, received an honorary doctor of humane letters degree from PLU during the ceremonies.

Bruce Bjerke of Walla Walla, a graduating senior who earlier this year became PLU's first Rhodes Scholar, received special recogni­ tion. Bjerke earned a bachelor of arts degree in history and will study at Oxford University next fall.

Twenty-five year citations were presented to four PLU faculty members: Theodore O . H . Karl, chairman of the Department of Communication Arts; Dr. Burton Ostenson, chairman of the Depart-

ment of Earth Sciences ; Dr. Robert Olsen, professor of chemistry ; and Rev. Milton Nesvig, assistant to the president for church relations and pu blications.

A total of 1 93 bachelor of arts in education degrees were presented ; also bachelor of arts, 180; bachelor of science in nursing, 38; bachelor of business administration, 36; bachelor of science, 33; bachelor of fine arts, 1 2 ; and bachelor of music, five.

Also conferred were 44 master of arts in education degrees ; mas­ ter of arts in social sciences, 1 9 ; master of business administration, 1 4 ; master of music, three; and master of natural sciences, two.

Degrees were conferred by PLU President Eugene Wiegman, who also spoke on "A Challenge to the Graduates. " Greetings were given .by Michael Dederer, chairman of the Board of Regents, and Dr. Roy Virak, president of the PLU Alum­ ni Association.

A physician who has been de­ scribed by colleagues as the "Schweitzer of the New World" received an honorary doctor of humane letters degree from Pacif­ IC Lutheran University Sunday, May 2 1 .

Dr. Carroll Behrhorst, physician to the Cakchikel Indians in the remote highlands of Guatemala, was honored during PLU com­ mencement exercises.

Dr Behrhorst began his work in Guatemala in 1 962 among the Cakchi kel, descendants of ancient Mayas who had been driven into the highlands 400 years ago by colonial Spanish settlers. He was the first modern doctor of medi­ cine they had seen, and it took months to gain their trust.

Two of Behrhorst's frontier medical innovations have earned him acclaim from leading medical center experts around the world.

He has successfully devised a way to extend his medical practice to some 50 villages and 200,000 Indi­ ans by training and supervising " medical assistants," native Indi­ ans who have graduated from his school of practical medicine and agriculture. He still personally treats more than 1 00 patients a day.

He also is working to attack the cause of sickness at its source.

More than half of his staff of 32 Indians, medical students and Peace Corps volunteers work in agriculture and the preventative medicine field. Farmers have been taught to raise protein-bearing vegetables and the women have been taught to cook them for their family diet. Behrhorst' s public health nurses have taught nutri­ tion, sanitation, birth control and gardening.

The doctor's emJ?hasis on nutri­ tion and preventative medicine is the result of his observation of the Cakchikel's chronic illness, short life span and life style that had remained unchanged for 500

years . He was determined to "find a way to make the people health­ y."

Behrhorst, formerly of Win­ field, Kans. , went to Guatemala at the invitation of the Medical Mis­ sions Council of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. His story is recorded fully in a book. "Physi­ cian to the Mayas," by Edwin M .

Barton, director of student affairs at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Roach Delegate To National M inority Confab Charles Roach, a 1 972 PLU graduate, represented the Student National Education Association at the National Conference on Educa­ tion for Blacks in Washington, D.C., March 29 April 1 .

The conference, sponsored by the Capitol Hill Minority Caucus, focused on the lingering problems of education relating to black and deprived communities.

Roach, a retired Army officer who completed his undergraduate studies in education at PLU this sJ;>ring, was one of 15 students in­ VIted to the conference and the only representative from states west of the Mississippi River. His participation in the meetings was recommended by the Washington State Student Education Associa­ tion.

Roach is president of the PLU chapter of the Student Teacher Association, which is affiliated with the SNEA. The more than 500 delegates attending the conference in Wash­ ington will include educational specialists, elected officials, com­ munity leaders, parents and stu­ dent groups from across the na­ tion.

U. of Idaho Confers PLU Degree; Mom, Daughter Graduate Together It may not be a first, but then it doesn't happen very frequently either.

First of all, you need to have a mother and a daughter graduating from college the same year.

From different universities, more than 300 miles apart.

On the same day.

But it all was likely to happen. :VIrs. Fred Maxwell, a Fort Lewis, Wash. , housewife, was scheduled to receive her bachelor of arts de­ gree in sociology from Pacific Lu­ theran University in Tacoma dur­ ing commencement exercises Sun­ day, May 2 1 .

Her daughter- Deborah, was to receive a de gree in special educa­ tion t the U niversity of Idaho in Moscow, ld. Also Sunday, May 2 1 .

I t looked as though one, o r both, would miss out on the traditional family celebration if each attended her respective graduation. · 'It was quite disappointing, " Mrs. Maxwell admitted . " It appeared that I was going to have to give up my own graduation exercises if I wanted to see my daughter gl-aduate."

The dilemma existed, however, until a series of quick phone calls

between Tacoma and M oscow reo . sulted in a solution satisfactory to all. ' The principals were Dr. Ri­ chard Jungkuntz, PLU provost, and Dr. Ernest W. Hartung, Uni­ versity of Idaho president.

"It seemed a shame that a sched­ uling problem was going to make it impossible for Mrs . Maxwell to enJoy one of the milestone events in her life, " Dr. Jungkuntz said.

"So we worked it out with Idaho to have her PLU degree conferred at her daughter's commencement exercises. " " We'll be happy to have Deb­ bie's mother with us, " Dr. Hartung added . "It seems very appropriate sinc the Maxwells have such strong family ties ill Idaho."

Mrs. Maxwell's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Alexander, live in Weiser, rd. Sergeant Maxwell's mother, M rs. Evelyn Maxwell, lives in Gooding, rd. And one of two other Maxwell daughters, Mrs. Ron Silva, is a junior at Boise State Col­ lege in Boise.

In addition, Sergeant Maxwell, a command sergeant major for the 3rd C av al ry at .�'ort Lewis, will re­ t Ire trom tne A.rrHY next lHOI/HI.

The family has purchased a ranch near Jerome, Id., and will be mak­ ing its permanent home in the Po­ tato State.

Reached at her home after ar­ rangements had been finalized, Mrs. Maxwell was overjoyed. "This is unbelievably wonderful !" she exclaimed.

Mrs. M axwell hopes to teach next year at the senior high school level, and her husbanrl will be working for the U.S. Postal Serv­ ice. The third daughter, Marcia, currently a student at Lakes High School in Tacoma, will be a high school senior, beginning to plan her own college career.

WHOA !

It is an old word. It has some­ thing to do with travelling, but we often think of it as belongmg to another world, an era that has long since passed us by. WHOA ! We think of plows and straight furrows and old fashioned country fairs and c.attle and ranches. But most of these are no longer part of our industrialized, urbanized living.

The pungent odor of riding sta­ bles is reserved for only a few.

And except for the occasional ranch in the Rocky M ountain states, most prancing steeds and Stetson-hatted cowboys are found only in Western movies_ In other words, a whole way of life in which a tenn like this could be used is gone_ At least, so it would seem. The efforts to bring this old life back, to bring the old memories into fa· cus a nd to recreate a kind of a almost seem living pastoral doomed to failure. And if they do succeed are at best, mediocre. I think of just such an incident in my travels a few weeks ago.

The place was a lushly green valley ill the Warm Springs Indian Reservation of Oregon, a place known as Ka-Nee-Tah.

But the quiet did not last very long. First one, then two, then twelve, then twenty, then forty then finally sixty camp­ ers and trailers parked in a giant semi-circle around our area with us nearly in the middle. At that moment a strange feeling came over me. It was as if I was wit­ neSSing a re turn to the old days, a return to d sty trails and wagon t rains and straw bosses . They were all gregarious pe{)pl e, membe rs of a camper club. They laughed and sang and danced into the night. time good a b ad Ev ryane ( everyone ex cept us, because we couldn't sleep and we veren't part of the crew ) . Even the names of the c mplng outfits suggested fre e­ pioheer dom and openness and spirit. Names like Rambler, Oasis, Security, Chinook, Prow ler, Open Road, Dr amer, Travel-air. And en had th thl.'re was one that name Prairie Schooner on it. Ex­ cept for the modern vehicles them­ sel es it was as If we were filrn mg an ep i ode in " W agon Train" as peo Ie Lold and re-told stories of their journey and of their days gone by. Other than the vehicles very litlle betrayed the fact that it w s a c ntemporary setting. Ex· ept of course, the I ndians were friendly and were operating a first class motel just a hundred yards down the road. In some ways it was incongntous. You can imagine the conversation, "This is KBX 478 Can you comt calling HJQ 722 over for coffee? Over." "This is HJQ 722 - Roger. KBX, we'll be right over. " And then the party from trailer one walks three doors down to the party from trailer five and has some coffee .

In a way, the whole thing was kind of a play, immensely enjoyed by all, but not really the way life is. Oh, there were a few there who

-

were old enough to remember some of the reallv difficult days of back-breaking work and calloused hands that the pioneers knew. But for most of them it would only be something that they would read in a book.

What I'm trying to say is that as much as we may pretend and as much as we may try, there simply are some things that don't belong to our contemporary, so­ phisticated way of life. I think it is excellent that we try to recapture same of the mood, some of the glo­ ry and some of the exuberance of the old days . I pity people who cannot think back at all.

In a way this kind of nostalgia is what makes my job interesting as I travel from place to place.

Because I meet with people who recall things as they used to be PLC, PLA. They remember when the pigeons still used fourth floor in Harstad Hall, and they remem­ ber when Hauge and Strunk were on tbe faculty, and they can re­ member when you knew almost everyone graduating in the senior class. And the alumni wonder how it goes with the school now and why things change and where do they fit in. But you see there is just no way that we can bring it all back. And once we have relived the old times and told the old jokes and visited the old classrooms, we are faced with the task of coming to grips with the present and the future_ We are faced with a chal­ lenge of accepting a new generaI lion of students and a new way of doing things.

To be sur the old goal is still there - to send men and women, committed to the Gospel, into a world wbere they may act a� a leaven in a society that so much Perhaps needs their presence. what is in tbe back of my mind as I write these few paragraphs, is a pleading for the alumni of PLU to offer a positive support to the U ni­ versity now and to the student generation of today and tomorrow.

After all, we can change the world, but we won't change it with an old m Id or an old way of life or by using the dialogue of the "Who Generation. "

With this issue of the Scene another school year of publication is completed. Pacific Lutheran University is entering into its summer program and completing plans for next fall. In some re­ spects, there seems to be a lull during the summer. But I feel swnmer time is an important time for alumni and the Alwnni Asso­ ciation. This is the time when we get together and visit on vacations, picnics and other outings. Plans are made for the coming year which frequently starts in the fall in spite of what the calendar says.

This is also the time of year we elect our representatives to the Alumni Board. The activities, pro­ grams and vigor of our Association is detennined to a great extent by the Board. This is your opportunity to express your feelings, so be sure to send in your vote for the candi­ dates of YOllr choice.

Perhaps this summer lull is a good time to review our past activ­ ities and see how we stand in rela­ tion to our goals. The past year has been a good year in many re­ spects. We received the Alumni House - the remodeling is pro­ gressing nicely. We again have a very capa ble full time director, Harvey Neufeld. We finally have our alumni files and data "compu­ erized" ; this was a tremendous task but is of great organizational value, and the Association will benefit greatly for years to come from this accomplishment. During this time we also had the regular program of scholarships, Home­ coming, allnual fund drive, awards and liaison with students.

This all sounds great , and is great, thanks to the time and ef­ forts of many wonderful, dedicated people. But perhaps more impor­ tant are the things yet to be done.

I feel very strongly that we should continue to enrich the University program, to contribute to the bringing of outstanding speakers, symposia on topics of wide interest with guest leaders or "authorities" in their fields. This is a very tangi­ ble way of contributing a plus to the educational program at Pacifi c Lutheran University.

There are several areas in hich Alumni have been helping for some time, but which need to be developed further. This Is in the area of student recruiting and funds and fina ncial contributions to niversitv. PLU has bee n the grow ing steadily and as rapidlv as it can handle the growth, yet PLU - a any coUege - always needs

Alumni Fund Nears Halfway Mark Toward $70,000 Goal The 1972 Annua l Alumni Fund at Pacific Lut h eran University .is mo ,­ ing si.eadily forw rd. but addUional interest and response is needed to reach the $70,000 "o al set for tht� ye, r, alumni director Harvey Neufdd repor ted .

As of May 26, cash and pledges received total nearly $30,000, he i.ndi­ cated. This includes $5,:369 carried over in the switch from a fiscal year fund to a calendar year fund.

This year's goal includes '50,000 to the general fund and $20.000 for reno\'ntions to the Alumni House. Neufeld asked that gifts for Alumni H use improvements be specified by the donor for that purpose.

In addition to the funds carried ov er from 1 97 1 , the Alumni Associa­ tion received $3.000 in January and February. In March, the first official month of the drive. more th n $lO,OOO were received in cash and pledges.

more good stUdents. If you know of an outstanding young person men­ tion PLU to him and send a note t the U niversity about him. You will be doing both a favor.

Our annual fund drive is pro­ gressing well and, of course, this is a very important way we as alum­ ni can contribute to and strengthen Christian higher education. The most inspired and carefully pre­ pared program is of little value if there is no material means to pul it into action. However, I feel we should, as alums, be going beyond the annual fund as a means of con­ tributing to our own school. We should be thinking of endowments, trusts, wills, insurance, etc. We should also be encouraging more support from our churches. This is a church-owned school and I feel the church as well as society in general has a great deal at stake in the future with Christian higher education. I feel it should contrib­ ute more than seven or eight per cent of the operating budget.

There are many other direc · tions and areas in which the Alum­ ni Association needs to grow.

These have been discussed at our board meetings and are being in­ vestigated. The area of service to alumni and students is one with considerable interest. Such things as continuing education courses on a variety of subjects, set up as "short courses" and presented by a traveling team from the Univer­ sity, job placement for alums, summer jobs for students, and no-

tifying other alums when an alum is moving into the neighborhood .

All of these have been discussed and we would like to have your thoughts on them.

Finally, I would like to take this opp.ortunity to thank each of you who have contributed to Pacific Lutheran U niversity in time, effort or funds in the past year. OUf world has many problems and they seem to get more complex each yea r. The future depends on the way we handle today's problems, a�d this is where Christian higher education and Pacific Lutheran University come in. A quality edu cation is good, but inadequate by itself. Along with the knowledge we need to know how to use it in a Christ-centered, or Christian way of life.

It is always easy to look back and see how things should have been done and I can't help thinking our world would be different today . if we as a people and as a nation had handled our foreign and do­ mestic problems in a Christian manner in the past. Perhaps With Cbristian higher educati on we will have qualified Christian leaders in the future who can handle theS/! problems in the way Christ would want us to. This is my prayer. Ma} you have a delightful summer

Comnlencenlent With ' Purpose and Hope \

By Dr. Euge ne Wiegmah President, Pacific Lutheran University

( Editor's note: Dr. Wiegman, in addi tion to addre ss i n g the 1972 PLU graduates, was commence­ ment speake r at Sellttie University and Annie W righ t Seminary in Tacom a . ) A journey of a thousand mil s begins with one step. That's why Commencement is, for rue, th most exciting, rewarding day in the academic <.-alendar.

Volumes have been w ritten con­ cerning the uncertainly and frus­ tration of c ont empora ry Society.

There' s no denying the existence .of future sbock and present doubt.

The ev Ding news tells us it 's not an easy world .

Yet , a eac h student begins his <lr her career by partl ipating in graduation, I feel heartened and glad . I am opti istic about the future of our global community when I think of what transpires at places like Pacific Lut her an Uni­ versity.

There is discussion currl.'ntly about the faltering siate of private education and its learning Iradi­ tions. It is said that we faee prob­ lems of Identity, finance and en­ rollment. Y ou would never know it by the confideIlt stndes of our graduates.

PLU has not given its students all the answers. Today. we do not even know all tbe questions. Their education here has provided some­ thing more precious.

If a man has knowledge without wisdom, abilities without applica­ tion, philosophy without conviction and motivation without commit­ ment, then he has nothing.

Because PLU is rooted in our Christian herit age, it has given students something unusual in this age or insecurity. Students leaVe here with a purpose and a hope.

Graduates from tlus place possess e powers of l ea rnin g judgment understanding and, most .of all , the power of fa it h .

Broad spi ritulll and intellectual powers llre important to the revo­ lution t)f this cou ntry To succeed in changing lis W.oI·ld. we must know what kind of world would !Jc better . PLU has g:iv n its s tuden!' such a perspe&:tive .

T rue "ducation prepares III and women not for the present, but for the luture they must build For this they need critical standards hI which to appraise their evol li environment. They need acute Iil' tellect to gmde the awe-ome force or technology.

Most important , students must attain an wlderstanding and cum­ passion which help lhem to seek tbe welfare of other peoples. Tbl. is the mark of an edu 'ated persO! This i s the role of a Ch r Istian liber· al arts e cation. alumnus, you kno As a liberally educat!:!_ the value 0 person. In your position of inf!� ence and responsi bility, I hope YOL will seek out such graduates fo' their humane perspectives an: fresh ideas.

The participation of men an' women such as these is more thal helpful in this rapidly changil\O � world. It is essential if we are t' , prosper and survive as a nali · and as God's people.

PLU in the '70's

.... Second And Third Generation Alums Offer Views on Campus Today Shortly before graduation four PLU seniors whose parents attended the university responded to an invitation from the Alumni Association to talk about their experiences at PLU. Among them were Molly Stuen, Steve Harshman and Carol Chris­ tensen of Tacoma and Karl Arne of Poulsbo, Wash.

Molly is the daughter of Dr. Marcus '43 and Priscilla (Preus '44) Stuen and the granddaughter of the late Ole J. Stuen, PLU student, teacher, coa 11, librarian and alumni secretary from 1 902-53. His wife, still living in Parkland, also was a member of the PLU faculty. Molly graduated with a degree in psychology and is working in the office of the Washington Secretary of State.

Steve is the son of Sterling '43 and the late Vernita (Spooner '40) Harshman and the nephew of Marv Harshman '42. Stev e , who plans graduate school and a teachi ng career, made his own athletic mark at PLU in both track and football.

Carol is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Christensen. Mrs. Chris­ tensen earned her PLU degree in 1 962. Carol will be married this sum· mer to PLU's Swedish basketball star, Ake Palm, and will be making her home in Sweden.

Karl, who graduated with a degree in chemistry and is planning to attend Washington State University on a teaching assistantship, is the son of J. Alvfinn '36 and Olga (Hugo '37) Arne of Poulsbo.

Scen e : What prompted you to come to PLU?

Carol: It never occurred to me to go anyplace else. It was conven­ ient, we hved practically across the street. I knew a lot of the profes­ sors, having lived here for many years. I talked to a lot of people about going to a big school, but they se emed to discourage that because there wasn't the personal attention that PLU promised.

Steve: I originally started at Central Washington. I went there perhaps to get away from Park­ land; it had always been a family tradition that our family went to PLU, but I felt that PLU may have been a little too strict for me. At Centrai, though, I wasn't getting quite the individual attention that I was looking for, so the summer after my sophomore year I came over to PLU and talked to some of the coaches and people in the phys­ Ical education department. I was really pleased to see the changes that had come and it looked like a place that I ' d like to be.

Scene: Did you feel you had to live up to a "Harshman" image?

Steve: Yes, I think I did, and it may have been one of the reasons why I wanted to try to make it on my own at another school. Howev­ er, once I came here, I really be­ lieved that I could handle the pro­ gram and that I could make it on my own and make an imprint .

Scene: Was there any particular person that influenced your deci­ sion?

Dr. (Walter) think I Carol: Schnackenberg had a lot to do with

Molly Stue n

it . I was a good friend of Dikka through all (Schnackenberg) school. I was also influenced by Dr. (Paul) Reigstad of the English department.

Karl: I came because my family went here; my mother and dad and two sisters.

Scene: Are you happy with the choice that you made?

Carol: Yes, I found that at PLU I 've had a lot of freedom. At first it was kind of a pain in the neck to be locked out of the dorm at a cer­ tain hour; that sort of restriction bugged me at first. But looking at the whole thing I've had the free­ dom to plan the program I wanted and the freedom to take a year to study in Europe last year, which I really appreciated.

Karl: My experience has been very good. One of the important aspects of PLU is the student­ teacher relationship. Chemistry is my major and I found this espe­ cially good in that department.

There was always someone to an­ swer questions and this was espe­ cially important to me.

Steve: Yes, I believe all the changes I noticed have been for the better. I suppose you could say that the school has opened up a great deal. I don't always like to . use the word liberal, but it seems to meet the needs of the students more than it used to years ago.

Molly: I think PLU is much more open to inquiry and student involvement in government than it was in my parents' day. I appre­ ciate the professors and admInis­ trators who take part in the life of

Karl Arne

Carol Christensen

the community, rather than just being cooped up in the shell of the university. Especially, I think the students have been given more responsibility in the day-to-day life of the university.

Scene: How do you relate to the concept of a Christian or a church­ related school ?

Molly: I sort of hold a traditional viewpoint about the role of Christi­ anity and · the idea of Christian higher education. There are those who hold that the Church should be less involved in the affairs of the U niversity, but I really believe that the Church ought to be con­ cerned and perhaps take a deeper interest in the spiritual and aca­ demic life on campus.

Carol: It wasn't a factor in my coming here. When I took religion as a freshman, I became quite con­ fused by all the different philoso­ phies I viewed, but it alsq made a deeper thinker out of me. I do appreciate that I was required to take religion and philosophy be­ cause on my own I definitely would not have planned to take those courses. I appreciate the ob­ jectivity of the teachers . It's really been super and I've been allowed to make up my own mind as I went along. I wouldn't say that ideas have been forced down my throat and that I really a{>preciate.

Karl: The religIOn courses have made me think more deeply about what is important to me about reli­ gion. I think my faith is more ma­ ture.

Steve: I've always been im­ pressed by the religious aspect of the school and I know that it has its place. I think I particularly ap­ preciated the freedom that the school allows in matters of consci­ ence. There's a real opportunity to explore and be open about your faith and I've never felt at any time that religion was being forced upon me . I do believe that the stand of the school is quite clear and the students understand and accept it . I think they also accept the responsibility of making intelli­ gent choices in their life and these choices probably aren't always what the school would see as right or proper or true to the Christian faith. But I believe that the free­ dom the school offers is one of the mature aspects of education here.

Scene: What about y ur parel ts an d their experi nees with the school?

Carol : We lived i n Eatonville

Steve Harshman

when my mother attended, and although it was a long drive, it seemed that she recogmzed it as a good school and was always happy with her experience here.

Karl: My parents both went here when it was a two-year school. I feet they suspect there are many changes, although they talk fondly of the school and their memories of it. They refer to people like Schnackenberg and Hauge and they seem to feel that PLU IS doing a good job.

Steve: My father really thinks a great deal of the school and is very pleased with the progress it is making. I think he feels the school is going in the right direction and I do too.

Scene: What would you say is your expectation of the PLU Alum­ ni Association?

Karl: I haven't really thought about it, since I am going to gradu­ ate school. I know that my folks read the paper and look forward to getting it. I've read them too and would really like to keep up to date on what's going on.

Steve: I look forward to hearing from the Alumni Association, par­ ticularly to keep up to date on news of my classmates and what they are doing.

Crisis Forum '72 Held At PLU In M ay Following a pattern established Kent and following Cambodia State in 1 970, PLU conducted cri­ sis Forum ' 7 2 on campus this spring following renewed Vietnam escalations.

PLU faculty members conducted the discussions, a lo n g with guest pal'liclpants from th U n h el's i ty ot Puget Sound a nd the nive rsily of Washington.

PL U S tudent Awarded Rotary Scholarship Debra Mumm of Chehalis, Wash., a junior at Pacific Lutheran University, has been awarded a full year college scholarship by the Rotary Foundation of Rotary Inter­ national.

The scholarship provides a year's study, all expenses paid, at a school of the student's choice any­ where ill the world. Miss M umm is the second PLU student this vear to receive a Rotary scholarship: She plans to study Spanish lan­ guage, literature and history at either the University f Buenos Aires or U niversity De La Plata in Argentina.

At PLU Miss M umm, 20, is ma­ joring in social welfare with a strong Spanish langu ge back­ ground. She pJans to eventually work in child welfare, either in Latin America or in a Spanish­ speaking community in the United States.

An artist who is contributing to a new concept of art at Pacific Lutheran University and through­ out the northwest has been select­ ed as PLU's Distinguished Teacher for 1 9 7 2 .

The award, given annually to an outstanding PLU teacher by the Washington Automobile State Dealers' Association, was present­ ed May 12 to Keith Achepohl, asso­ ciate professor of art at PLU .

Since Joining the PLU art facul­ ty three years ago, Achepohl has built a mushrooming program in the il1ereasingly popular field of prmtmaking and has created a gal­ lery exhibition schedule that is continually introducing new con­ cepts of art to campus and com­ munity patrons.

He believes that the traditional concepts of art have acted as a hindrance to individuals' aware­ ness of beauty and creativity. "I like the idea of destroying the word art and eliminating it from our vocabulary," he says. "Art is Ideas and the greatest ideas make the greatest art . " If we �an relate t o creativity as ideas, you can still call it art but from a different perspective, he believes.

In his tudio at PLU's new In­ gram Hall ' 1"t facility, Achepohl seeks to dIminish the difference between what his students' lives are all about and what art is all ab ut. "I'd like them to explore

Achepohl

and be able to translate what has meaning for them into a creative art form," he says.

As PLU's Mortvedt Art Gallery director, he is striving to make the university and community more aware that there are many forms of art. In the past two years the monthly gallery exhibitions have featured everything from the most traditional art to the most avante­ garde idea form.

Achepohl also maintains an ex­ tremely active personal exhibition program that is c<?ntributing to the growing populanty of prmtma�­ ing. His work has appeared In more than 20 exhibitions across the United States and in Japan this year. He has also served as juror at several local exhibitions.

There are several reasons why printmaking is growing in popular­ ity so rapidly, the artist asserts .

"It's democratic. Many more peo­ ple can obtain example of an art­ ist's work.

"A print is intimate," he contin­ ues. "A large painting IS a domi­ nant force in your life, but an intI­ mate print need not e so dommat­ ing.

"And it fits the kind of portable lives we lead, which sometimes discourages a collection of large fragile art, " he adds .

Finally its versatility is causing many of the major artists to expe­ riment with it, according to Ache­ pohl.

This coming year Achepohl will take a special leave from PLU to relieve his former teacher, Mauri­ cio Lasansky, at the University of Iowa . Lasansky, one of the nation's foremost printmakers, received an honorary doctor of fine arts de­ gree from PLU three years ago and several of his works are in the permanent university collection, which will be on exhibit in the PL U gallery all summer .

Achepohl is the sixth D istin­ guished Teacher selected since the annual program was undertaken.

Previous winners were Dr. George Arbaugh, philosophy; Dr. Jens Knudsen, biology ; Dr Donald Pat­ tie, biology: Dr. Jane Williamson, education ; and Dr. Walter Schnackenberg, history.

PLU Public Forums Deal With Current Puget Sound Area Issues A public forum and television series on current issues was pre­ sented in April by the School of Business Administration at PLU. The programs, co-sponsored by the PLU Alumni Association, dealt with the problems of aging, Ta­ coma port development and no­ fault insurance.

The need for better services to the elderly was the focus of the April 13 program. John Mc­ Pherson, director of the Washing­ ton State Council on Aging, was among the guest participants .

"The problems of aging are per­ vasive elements in our society to­ day and yet they are the most ob­ scure," forum moderator Michael Henton (' 72) observed. "The need for more and better services to the elderly, with focus on housing and medical services, is the crux of our study."

Developments along Bayside Drive in Tacoma, deep water berths and cultural and recreation­ al developments and their relation­ ship to the Port of Tacoma were the concerns of the April 20 for­ um. Participating were Robert Evans, member of the board of the Washington Environmental Coun­ cil, and Ron Nelson, Tacoma city planner.

- The purpose of the inquiry was to generate more interest in the nature of the city's planning ef­ forts. te Representa­ Washington tive R. Ted Bot er and William Lanthorn, attorn y for Safeco In­ surance, were featured during the April 27 forum, which dealt with the economic and legal impact of no-fault insurance.

A series of public service pro­ grams on the topics were telecast

by KTNT-TV, Tacoma, during April and May.
