there was some su rprise that there was not more obvious evi­ dence of milita ry prepa redn ess or conflict.

Members of both g roups stress­ ed , however, that theirs were informal observations; that the primary pu rpose of both tours was to become more fa m i l ia r with the history a nd culture of the two countries.

Perhaps the contrast was g reat­ est in Cuba, where a typica l Ameri­ can might envision tanks and a rmed soldiers. "The m i l ita ry and police were very low profi le, less than you see in this country , " said Dr. Ja mes Pred more, PLU l a n ­ guages professor w h o headed the Cuba tou r.

Instead, the visitors were i mp re­ ssed by the openness and fri e n d l i ­ ness of the Cuban people, accord ­ ing to Mela nie Ca rstens, a sopho­ more Spa n ish and co m m u n ication a rts major fro m Rea rden, Wash .

The people seemed to be posi­ tive a bout their government, the students indicated.

In the M id d le East, as well, the mood seemed cal mer, accordi n g to PLU relig ion professor D r . Joh n Petersen, who has previously lived here and has visited repeated ly.

"There may have bee n more sold iers visi ble on my previous visits, " he said. "Th is time we were in Jordan a n d Egypt as well as Israel. We noticed relatively little mil ita ry presence in any of the countries.

"There is a diverge nt mood , " he added. "Some feel the Camp David peace n e g otiations w i l l work; others bel ieve they are u n workable. The attitude seems to be 'wait a n d see.'

Poverty a n d squa l id livi ng co ndi­ tions, particularly i n Egypt, have often been docu mented, but as i n Cuba, the America n visitors we­ ren 't left with that im pression .

"We found the cities relatively clean, " Petersen said .

He noted that the timing of the visit may have co ntributed to positive i m p ressions. "Winter is a n excellent time to visit the M id d l e East," he said . "The weather is balmy a n d there a re fewer tour­ ists . This tour went smoother than any I've ever had .

The Christian Community:

As the 1982 PLU In terim curriculum took shape, there was a noticeable, if coincidental, increase in interest in topics relatmg to war and peace and relationships among nations.

TW courses addressed the issue quite directly Religion professor Dr. Robert S�vers took his class to quiet, remote Holden �/lIage retreat cen ter in the high Cascades to dls�us "The Christian Community: Peace and Justice, with Holden director John Schramm .

Philosophy professor Dr. Paul Menzel and his class reflected on a similar topiC from a more "secular" or philosophical viewpoint. �he course title was "Warring Nations, Warring' People." .

hen issues of war and peace a re debated among C h ristians, there a re cou nt­ less shadings of two primary themes, pacif­ ism and realism, accord i ng to Dr. Robert Stivers.

The PLU religion p rofessor and Vietnam vete ran spent the month of J a n u a ry at Holden Village with eig hteen students dis­ cussing the competi ng poi nts of view and studying the most p ro m i ne nt a dvocates of each .

"A pacifist believes uneq uivoca bly i n non­ violence as a social or politica l strategy , " Stivers explained . He or she fi nds Biblical· support i n such passages as Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and the ad monition to turn the other cheek. " C h ristian realism mai ntains that u nder certa in circu msta nces, w a r can be fou g ht morally," he added. " No C h ristia n advocates war, but a defensive war COUld , the realists a rgue, be fought under certai n ci rcu mst­ ances.

"A ' realist' sees pacifism as ' u n realistic: because it doesn't take i nto account the si nfu l ness of h u m a n bei ngs.

"A pacifist wou ld respond that the only ' real istic' response i n the modern age would be not to engage i n w a r, because war is so horrible, " Stivers conti n u ed.

There is increasing u nderstanding a nd support of the latter view in recent years, accord ing to Stivers . While throug hout most of history one could argue the justification of a defensive wa r, in the nuclea r age even self­ defe nse becomes self-obl iterati o n . T h u s many who may formerly have been realists, or a re real ists in some situations, have become "n uclear pacifists. "

Dr. Robert Stivers

Developing his theme, Stivers called att� n tion to the w riti ngs of the late theologia n Rei n hold Niebuhr as the leading voice a mong Ch ristian rea lists. The pacifist position , he explai ned , is p ro m i nently articul a ted by theolog ian John Howa rd Yoder.

"A realist m ight look at Bi b l i c a l a n d theological materials, with u ndersta n d i ng of h u m a n si n and h u m a n natu re, a n d focus not on perfectio n , or l ivi ng the perfect life, but just on living at a l l , " Stivers obse.rve d . "It c� n be reasoned that the lovi ng t h i ng to do In certa i n situations is to resist evi l . " World Wa r II, h e pointed out, could b e used to support a rg u ments on both sides . What better example of resista nce to evil cou ld a realist have than the war agai nst H itler, who was responsible for the exte rmi nation of more tha n six m i llion Jews?

But a pacifist cou ld a nswer, "That is true.

But there were also 20 m i l l i o n other people kil led d u ring the wa r. Which is the more horri ble? " C h ristia ns a re faced with a s i m ila r d ilemma when nuclear wa r is conte m plated . " If the U n ited States was hit w ith a fi rst strike today, nuclea r pacifists would oppose retaliation , " ' Stivers sai d . "They wou ld rather not kill 1 00

mericans, historica lly, have never be­ come resig ned to the reality or contempla­ tion of war.

Though at ti m es i n our natio n's history it has been perceived that there was no alternative to conflict, a nd frequent wars have been foug ht, there has also been a te ndency, once the conflict has been resol­ ved, to try to forget or ig nore the war a nd its conseq uences.

This national trait led to va rying degrees of disarmament following both world wars, leaving the nation somewhat ill - p repared fo r conflicts which followed And i n spite of those relatively rece nt precede nts, a disg ust a n d sense of natio n a l dishonor res u lted in what PLU philosophy professor Dr. Pa u l Menzel describes a s "coll ective a m nesia" fo l lowing the Vietnam conflict Unfortunately, world te nsions have not eased, and there have been a rms b u i ldups by potential adversa ries.

a n w a r ever be justified?

There Ilave been popular a nd u n popula r wars, just a n d u njust wars. The definition of each is debated a mong scholars a nd laymen, pacifists and realists. Often, however, one a rea of ag reement is fou nd: war w ith Germany d u ring World Wa r 11 ca n be justified on moral g rou nds.

The reason usually given, according to PLU history professor Dr. Ch ristopher Brow n i n g , is that t h e conflict went beyond t h e defin i ­ tion of war a mong nation states. T h e Nazis, it is com m only ag reed, were warring aga inst hu manity.

While stopping short of declaring h i mself for or aga inst the assertion that World War II was a j u st war, B rowning expla ined some of the factors that would influence such a discussion. " It is clear that World War II was not a

conventional war," he observed. "Though H itler's conduct of the war agai nst the West and his treatment of their POWs was basica lly traditional, the Nazis' behavior in Eastern E u rope and in Russia , not only against Jews but agai nst civilian populations, was not traditio na l . It was a qua ntu m leap in the horror of war. " He made it clear to his genera ls , " Brow n ­ i ng explai ned, "that this was not going to b e a conventional war. It was to be a war of races and a wa r of ideo logy. And he drew the most ho rrifying conclusions from that "In a sense he saw it as a biological war.

H itler's attitude was, 'These are i nferior biolog ical peoples (Jews, Russia ns, Eastern E u ropeans) and they a re to be used in whatever ways suit us, a nd, in the case of the J ews, they a re to be rooted out, because they are the ulti mate blood-poisoning factor: " the professor continued .

"We a re dea l i ng with someone who was not j ust fig hting a war a mong nation states, " h e added. "Th is was not a war i n which one country was fig hting a wa r to impose certa in political conditions or to g a i n certa i n ter­ ritories. H itler's war goes well beyond that "The nfg htmare of what went on during the five yea rs that he controlled most of E u rope is i ndicative of how he would have used victory if he had attained it," B rowning poi nted out "In that sense, if there ever was a wa r in self-defense, j ustified by the differ­ ences between the uses to which victory would be put by various com peti ng pa rties, the war against Nazi Germa ny cou ld be justified . " Yet even that justification has come more in retrospect than in the actua l steps that were taken by Allied cou ntries as the wa r developed, B rown ing indicated. "The B ritish went to wa r because they were tryi ng to u p hold the Eu ropean bala nce of power and (Continued on page 6)

certain treaty a rrangements. They weren't initially, at least, fig hting the Devil. They were fighting an expansionary Germany. " For America, initially, the enemy was the Japanese, and we entered the European theater when we did because H itler d eclared war on us. Roosevelt, of course, saw the German th reat, and Hitler's action probably only hastened the inevitable .

"Additionally," he observed, "the atrocity factor was played down by the Allies . We made the decision that the most effective propaganda is credi ble propaganda. When it tu rned out that the truth was incredible, we weren't particularly a nxious to pursue it. The final implication, that the Nazis were in fact trying to extermi nate whole peoples, was not at all made a reason for our involvement in the conflict. " There were com plicated social and strateg ­ ic reasons for not emphasizing the Jewish question d u ring the war, Browning pointed out.

"SO , H itler's J ewish policies and the Holocaust as a justification of war come with the war crimes trials after the war," he said.

Scholars and laymen alike continue to be troubled by the moral questions raised by the Holocaust. If it could be discussed as a u nique h istorical a berration, the Grand Desig n of one evil madman exercising, for a time, a bsolute power, it might be more easily d iscussed, relegated to the dirty back shelves of history.

But we a re not so fortunate.

The attitudes which contributed to the earlier, more "acceptable" forms of discrim i­ nation against the Jews i n the '30s were widely held, and a re not d issimilar to at­ titudes a mong races and nationalities today.

Browning explained, "The Jews were a mi nority - always had been a minority in Europe, which identified itself as a Ch ristian society. From the Middle Ages on, the Jew had been a n alien . As in other analogous situations, the minority g roup becomes a target, the g roup upon which all sorts of frustrations can be vented . " H i s summary also included the following poi nts: -In the Middle Ages there was the rad ical change from a barter to a money society.

Since Ch ristians could not participate in money lendi ng or usury, it was an a rea i n wh ich Jews became prominent.

-In the 1 9th century, following the French Revolution, Jews gained equality under the law. U nfettered by centuries of European societal tradition, they moved rapidly into expanding areas of the new industrialized . society.

In both eras, large segments of traditional society found change d ifficult, and could easily blame the Jews, who were benefiting from the changes , for a conspiracy causing their own tro ubles.

-Attitudes ranged from mild i ntolerance

'If there ever was a war in self-defense, . . the war against Germany could be justified' to the irrationality of characterizing Jews as " ritual m u rderers" or "spreaders of the plague." In light of the long history of Jewish discrimination in Euro pe, it was not difficult for large numbers of Germa ns to accept, if not wholeheartedly sup port, the gradual deprivation of Jewish rig hts i n the '30s.

-The steps which finally led to mass,

i nstitutionalized murder, were incrementa l .

They involved uncounted minor decisions, responses to situations as they developed , often made by zealous, a mbitious bureauc­ rats at lower levels without explicit orders from the Fuehrer.

H itler's i n itial solution to the Jewish prob­ lem was emigration, first voluntary, then forced, which was acceptable to many Germans. But the log istics, even then, were staggering. Even thoug h there were only a half m illion Jews in Germany in the '30s, only half had been removed by the begin ning of the war.

The rationale for oo;:u pation of Poland and invasion of Russia was in itially based on the concept of living space, a larger "bread basket" for Germany, as well as a source of "i nferior, " cheap labor. But its effect on the "Jewish problem" was monu menta l . Sud-

denly there were many millions of Jews with wh ich to deal!

From that point, each new step taken as the Final Solution developed was often an isolated, p ra g m atic sol ution to a n ew p roblem .

"It was a manifestation of the dark side of the new industria lized society, organization and efficiency, but also impersonalization and b u re a u c ra cy ," B rowning observed . " Each i ndivid ual had little realization of the b roader moral i m plications of h is deeds . " These characteristics have si nce been fac­ tors in more recent political and social events in this cou ntry and abroad , he i ndicated .

Th us we continue to ponder ominous q uestions. Are we making isolated , incre­ mental decisions today that could lead to other Fi nal Solutions?

Could a Holocaust happen again?

lingering wea ri ness from the violent con­ frontations on the issue of less tha n a decade ago. At the sa me time, a n entire new generation is reaching matu rity, youth who were not involved in earlier epochs and who are now forming their own attitudes.

Issues of war a re among the first which confront maturing youth, for it is they who will bear arms should conflict eru pt. Will they be aware of why they are fighting and what they a re fighting for? Will they have sorted out the g rave moral issues involved in war?

A g roup of P LU students did confront these issues d uring a January I nterim cou rse ta ught by Menzel. It was entitled, "Warring Nations, Warring Peoples . " Many of the students might have echoed the comments of Lau ra Giddings, one of the students, who observed, "\, who knew noth ing about Westmoreland, Diem or Minh u ntil th ree weeks ago, can clearly remember the a nti­ war/anti-establishment movement . . . " But also among the partici pants was a veteran of th ree wars . "He lived with war all of his l ife, yet felt that he had never really dissected the a rg u ments," Menzel observed .

"The course was i ntended as a critical and connected discussion of both the justifica­ tion of war as an instru ment of national policy and a person's own participation in military violence," Menzel explai ned .

In that context the class took a n extended look at the "just war theory," particularly as it has been recently articulated by M ichael Walzer in his book, Just and Unjust Wars.

The theory, according to M enze!. is a n effort to apply some moral norms to war.

Wars can be justly foug ht, it states, but only against aggression. T here are different views among just wa r theorists, whether that aggression must be against a people or need only be against a state. But the war also must be conducted justly, Menzel indicated . For example, civilians m ust not be d irectly, intentionally attacked .

The theory is the fou ndation u pon which a good deal of developing international law is based . At the same time, that law can only be as effective as the com mitment, or the promises, of the nations abiding by it, according to Menzel .

Ambig uities persist. When governments change, are they obligated to keep the promises of their predecessors? Has aggres­ sion occurred if a government claims to have been invited into another country to support a faction within that cou ntry? What status does the faction have to have? Is a cou ntry

justified in intervening to attempt to correct an internal injustice?

These questions can be applied to realities we face almost conti n ua lly - Vietnam, Afg hanista n , East Pakistan , EI Salvador, Po­ land and others, M enzel pOinted out.

J ust wa r theorists, he explained, attempt to sepa rate themselves from pol itical ideologies . "The theory is i ntended to pro­ vide rules by which all nations can abide, it is not a justification for a democratic or any other political system, " Menzel said.

Nor does it justify the crusaders, those who assume that another person's life is less morally protected than their own, he ob­ served .

Other class discussions dealt with pacifism, conscientious objection and non-combatant

'Issues of war are among the first which confront maturing youth, for it is they who will bear arms should conflict erupt' roles in the military. " Pacifists believe that there is power in non -violence and that love really can change people, M enzel explained.

"They admit that their commitment may not change a particular aggressor soon enough to avoid their own d eath, but if a nation's people adopted non -vio l e nt resi sta nce, pacifists clai m that no aggressor could hold on i ndefinitely . " Due, perh a ps, to the moral ambiguities it represents, Vietnam loomed large in class discussion. Though there was general nega­ tive reaction to the history of U .5 . involve­ ment in that war, conclusions were more objective than might have been observed five years ago.

Ms. Giddings, the daughter of PLU chemis­ try professor Dr. William Giddings and an Interi m exchange student from st. Olaf College, said, " I saw that America can make mistakes, a nd they can be tragic. But the solution cannot be amnesia or disillusion­ ment. Nor will it probably be flag-waving political rallies.

"Rather it could be a slow, steady growth of an ability to forg ive and notforget, to learn from the past and let our critiques come from love and concern for the futu re welfare of our cou ntry. That's what patriotism really is. "

Exploring Our Dreams

Throu gh a glass. darkly

By Dr. David Seal

Dreams: why are we always sleeping through them? Why is it that whenever we tell someone of that occasional and usually vivid d ream we remember, he or she kind of curls the edges of the mouth a little, and flares the nostrils, and seems to say, "Don't go weird on me!" Why won't anybody say something sensible about them? If they don't mean a nyth i ng , why do they scare our childre n ?

T h e word "drea m , " like the word "ti me," is perfectly u nder­ sta ndable u ntil we sit down to get straight about it. And then we discover that that simple five­ letter word, which seems to be in the title of every fou rth popular song , bears little resem blance to its most common usage, " Drea m" can be a goal or aim; but it is also a "succession of i mages, thoug hts, o r e m ot i o ns occurring during slee p. " My dictionary neglects to mention that such a succession can be the most vexatious, lascivi­ o u s , h o rrify i n g , a n d even il­ luminati ng experience of a n entire day, Fu rthermore, sleep resea rch ­ ers are now telling us that each of us, g iven an eig ht hour n ig ht of sleep, will spend between one­ a n d-o n e - h a lf a n d two h o u rs dreaming , "I don't dream" really means, "I don't remember my dreams" - u nless the person who claims that is a certified psychotic or a popular client at the prescrip­ tion cou nter, This means that a person 70 years old has spent five full years in d reams, If five years isn't part of the real world, I don't know what is, The I nteri m at P.L. U . is the perfect place to explore questions like this, questions that, like a sneeze, begin as a tickle and explode i nto full- blown inquiry, I've been teaching something ab­ out d reams d u ring the Interim for five years now, I ca n't seem to stop. Students seem to like the c o u rse, too - th i n k of the homework - so perha ps it is time to justify the ways of d reams to P,L . U , alumni a nd friends, I n this a rticle we'll look at what dreams are, how we can i nterpret them, why we would want to, and what kind of work the students in the 1 982 D reams Interim made out of their drea ms, Welcome to Wonderla nd, II

,

In 1 953, psycholog ists at the U niversity of Chicago studying observable behavior in sleep dis­ covered that when su bjects were aw a kened d u ri ng t he often­ noticed period i n sleep when the

eyes moved rapidly u nder the lids, they a l m ost a lways re porte d d reams. Further work led these research e rs to c o n c l u d e that t h e s e r a p i d eye - m ov e m e n t ( R , E , M , ) periods occurred fou r of five times a night in increaSingly larger i ncrements, and that they were merely one phase in a com­ plex sleep cycle that was also repeated, A full n ig ht of sleep contains four or five phases, most of which a re repeated in fou r or five cycles, In the fi rst cycle, we may have five to ten minutes of d rea ming, or more accurately, of a certa in phase of sleep when the eyes move ra pidly, the metabolic rate rises, the temperatu re of the brain rises, the pulse becomes irreg ular, the heart beat and respi ­ ration rate rise, a nd genital sti mu­ lation occurs , Whether dreams cause these physiolog ical phenomena, or are a by-product of them, is still not know n , In the second cycle, this R.E. M , period i ncreases to from 1 5 to 20 minutes; in the third, from 30 to 40; and in the fou rth, it may last up to an hou r, So the closer we get to the end of a full night of sleep, the more likely it is that we a re dreaming, So we all d rea m , But how can we learn to remember them? The answer is easier than most people thi nk. Remembering d reams is a matter of habit. Here's how to cultivate it. First. keep a d ream notebook or jou rnal nea r the bed, with a small flashlight if you are sharing space with someone. Sec­ ond, when you wake with a dream, write it down immediately, Dream memories are fragile, and tend to be easily broken by talk, move­ ment, the radio, and so on, So. write the d ream down, a nd then heed nature's call, Third, go to sleep at night with the thought that you will reme mber you r d rea m s , Such suggestions are mysteriously helpful . And finally, write everything down, no matter how see m i ng ly i ns i g n i f i c a n t , g rotesq u e , o r even obscene, Why? Beca use some i mages a re like the ta ils of snakes: you don't see much, but if you grab what you see you can pull the whole thing out. And because dreams speak symbolically, not literally, w hat appears to be obscene is not a reflection on you r character or habits, but a symbol - in vivid ter ms - of parts of you r psyche making love. You ca n at least learn to accept such i mages if you a re patient and not too judgmental Remembering dreams is m uch like sustaining close friendships .

Dreams need care, thoughtfu l ­ ness, a little bit of time each day,

a nd the willing ness to sympathize rather than condem n , III

How do we i nterpret dreams?

How do we become Josephs, and explai n to the Pharoahs that rule our everyday lives a nd control our personae or roles what d reams mean? There are many theories a b o u t d re a m i nt e r p re t a ti o n , Perhaps the safest approach is to know e noug h about the major theories so that we a re quick to apply thei r tactics whenever they seem appropriate, Most dream theories make the fi nal arbitrator the dreamer, and h is own g ut level reaction to things, And even the Freudians, who mig ht be more i nclined to call analysts the dream experts, recog nize that if the patient can't grasp his dreams in his own way, then the analyst can't help much , Anyone who works with d reams often enough picks up a defin ite style, a nd most of them a re shaped by the g reat "dreamers . " Among them a re Freud and J ung; Fritz Perls, who like J u ng , was a student of Freud; Ja mes Hillman, a student of J u ng ; a n d Patricia Garfield, whose ap­ proach is influenced by J u ng and some cultural studies of the role of d re a m s i n n o n - W e s t e r n societies, Freud's most famous work was arg uably The Interpretation o f Dreams, published in 1 900, It is a disg u ised a u to b i o g r a p h y , f o r many of the dreams h e analyzed were his own , Freud thought that d reams were fu lfillments of repre­ ssed wishes, wishes which blos­ somed in i nfancy but which q u ick­ ly faded i nto a kind of u nconscious dormancy as the reality of living in this world became i mposed u po n the child. The i nfa nt's craving for i nsti nctual fulfillment is blocked by an ea rly version of supply and dema nd: the breast can't always be there, the pa nts can't always be fouled, the opposite-sexed parent always controlled, So these desires seek a symbolic release when our guard is down, in dreams, Freud was bl u nt: w he n we d rea m, we a re all a tiny bit insane, But he felt that we could study our dreams, and learn what particu lar desires h ave us at their mercy. We COUld, at best, minimize their damage. Freud did tend to see a sexual organization at the bottom of dream symbolism, And it was here that a qua rrel with his stu­ dent J u ng arose, J u ng was a Swiss Protestant mi nister's son, He has been work­ ing with hospitalized schizophren­ ics, people whose sense of reality

was even more severely damaged than the Viennese neurotics Freud was treating , J u ng was beg inn i ng to fi nd some patterns to schizop­ h renic babble, and he was i nter­ ested in Freud's work on drea ms.

But after some of his own work, J u ng came to some different conclusions, Fi rst. he decided that dreams were not just about our past, but also about our present circumstances, and even our fu­ ture. Dreams do not simply conce­ al the causes of our psychological make-u p; they also reveal our prospects for moving toward our u nique "self." Second, J ung felt that d reams compensated for the one-sided life our ego tends to lead , By "ego" J u ng does not' mean egotism, but the part of the self oriented toward the outside world , He felt that we tried too hard to construct our own selves by sheer willpower (or positive thinking, or positive menta l at­ titude, often called P , M,A, for short). In reality, the self is a peculiar balance of ego and u n ­ conscious, and d reams are the chief voice of the latter. Third , sexual d reams a re not alway� pri ncipally about sex, a nd non ­ sexual dreams are not always reduci ble to some hidden sexual: content. J u ng was not being. prudish here, He simply arg ued: that a sexual image can be a wonderful metaphor for symbols "com ing together, " J ung saw a spiritual side to sex, where Freud tended to see only its instinctual: side, Perls and Hillman have taken, both teachers' theories further.

Perls, who was a principal fig u re at Esalen i n the late '60s before his death , is connected with a form of psychology called "Gestalt," from the German word for whole. He, saw one of our crucial modern. problems to be o u r refusal to, become whole, We love our dis­ ease, said Perls, we love o u r defenses , a nd so we h a rd e n ou rselves and tend to d o only what we do well , The result is stress; it takes g reat energy to shut ourselves off agai nst life. He used dreams because our dreams take advantage of us when our guard is down - they show us where we are wea k, P e r l s r e f u sed to i nte rp ret drea ms, He made his students act them out. They had to become every fig ure in the drea m - even a house if the dream takes place there, T his idea I suspect he bor­ rowed from Jung, who taught, that every fig u re i n our dream is really a part of us. Perls forced his (Continued o n page 8)

� u pils to confront their frustra ­ tions. He loved to frustrate their egos. How else can we g row, he'd ask.

H i � lman, on the other hand, is not Interested in using d reams to learn how to l ive better i n the material world . Dreams a re the ! anguage of the psyche talking to Itself. We can overhea r some of what it says, but like children overhea ring the talk of adu lts, we c� n put it to very little use.

Hillman's concept of psychic reali­ ty . is part of his larger project to bnng back into psychology a word � odern-day academic psychol og ­ Ists would be h orrified by: "sou l . " The psychic perspective i s the soul's perspective, But Hillman is not a C h ristian. For him souls a re built, not saved, and t h e u nder­ world is not hell, but the point of view of the SOUl, whether in l ife (in dreams, for exa mple, or g rief, or moods of psychic richness) o r in death . For Hillman, the G reek myths of the underworld a re not clever stories, but a nci e n t p syc h o log ies. And d reams a re l ourneys to the u nderworld .

Patricia Garfield i s a writer o n � reams w h o h a s tried to i ntroduce Into Western habits some of the work other cultures have done with . d reams. In particular, she has studied the Senoi, a Malaysian tribe still extant. that builds their � aily lives around d reams. Gar-' field's book, Creative Dreaming, is the popular voice of the school of d ream interpretation that says that we may gain limited control within o u r d reaming . She a rgues that. with some work and care, we can become more active within our d reams, a nd this i n turn will f u rt h e r o u r conscious under­ standing of our daily life. I n par­ ticu lar, we can lea rn to turn flight dr� ams into fig ht d reams, turn failing d reams into flying d reams, turn vag uely sexual d reams into fu ll erotic release, a nd tu rn d ream a�quaintances into spiritual ad­ visors and gift-givers.

These several approaches sug­ gest . not �mlY the wide range of possible kinds of d ream i nterpre­ tation, but of tempe ramental at­ titudes towards d reams as well .

O n e thing i s clea r: in the last 3 0 years or so, d reams have beg u n to move beyond the psych oanalytic couch, wj1ere they are still wel­ come, and i nto the conversations a nd morning habits of the "nor­ mal" m iddle class.

IV

But while we have had some g reat drea m teachers in the last century, the West in general and America i n particular has not put much faith in d reams. Other cul­ tures have: the Greeks had d ream temples where people went for up to three or four days, usually when sick or sexually exhausted; the IroquoIs I ndian s bel i eved t h a t dreams were t h e primary reality, a nd that the daylight world is but a �oor shadow; shaman istic tradi­ tions from Siberia to Malaysia have

worked with d reams. But despite Jacob's famous d ream of the ladder, and Joseph, and the refer­ ences to d reams in the Matthew nativity story, the Hebrews in general, as the Biblical scholar John. F . . P riest said, "apparently had little I nterest in the phenome­ non of d reams . " Contrast this with M o h a m m ed, w h o h a d g re a t d rea ms, a n d w h o used to begin his mornings by sitti ng down with his generals and interpreting their � reams. There have been only Isolated i nd ividuals, both artists and scientists, in the West famous for their d reams.

So the West. i n general, has slept' through its d rea ms. So has the C h u rch . If Pilate would have lis­ tened �o h is wife's d ream, imag ine how different thi ngs might have been! But even if the C h u rch has disregarded d reams, it has never really fought against them, except for sects like the Jehovah's Wit­ nesses. D reams a re like some vast a nd largely u ntouched mi neral reserve, lying just beneath the surface not of the g round but of consciousness, one that we move toward as the culture exhausts other forms of energy.

I 've found two major reasons why I think we should work more with d reams. One is that d reams a re g reat p ractice i n working with parts of us not connected with ego or ambition . The C h u rch al­ ways speaks of humility, but i n such a way as t o make its atta in­ ment a n effort of wil l . Dreams can not be controlled (except in very rare instances), so they tend to p resent a picture of us which we could call, by turns u ncon­ :,cious . and divine. The' ph rase, Thy Will be done," is as applicable to that secret or dark part of us that pushes us toward what we will become as it is to the Lord . So often in religion the genuine u rge toward hum ility or toward becom­ i ng vessels of grace remains purely r h eto rica l . B u t w o rki ng with d reams every dlay gives us con ­ c rete practice.

D reams a re baffling, they a ren't puzzles, and even in their confu­ sion and wonder there a re mo­ ments of pertinence and comfort.

D reams a re a well we may d rink from every morning - there is a Russian p roverb which says, "The morning is wiser than the even­ ing" - that comes from a sou rce much deeper and pu rer than our conscious sense of ourselves. How can we accept the da rker aspects of the Divine, whom we see "through a glass, darkly," if we cannot work with the dark parts of ourselves?

Secondly, while America may be asleep to d reams, it is certainly not asleep to images All we have to do is think of Hollywood, or television, or magazine covers, or the word "charisma. " In fact we a re satu­ rated by images and perhaps evert controlled by them . We are en­ tranced by them, with the em­ phasis on "trance . " This may be the point to remind

us that each of us produces directs, and usually plays the lea d in the equivalent of a full length movie, which often includes fam­ ous people (just last night I was playing in a jazz combo which include� F rank Sinatra on piano), every Single night of a full night's sleep. Yet we forget them or pay no attention to them .

The price we pay for not work­ i ng with our own images is that we become slaves of people who move heaven , ea rth, and the vas­ ter resources of the Federal Re­ serve to give us poorer, more boringly predi cta ble, a nd less energetic versions, for at least $4 a crack - or worse, or at the cost of twenty minutes of commercials­ of what we' re already getting for free at nig ht. And we star in ours!

V

B ut w h at can we do with d reams? Even if we change o u r habits a n d beg in to remember them, and even if we begin to understand, with the help of some theory or two and our own gut reactions, what do all those appa­ rently crazy images mean, what use a re they? This is the question my students and I wrestle with every interim in my class entitled "Dreams . " What I encourage a re not the usual reports or papers, but actual p rojects, particula rly those con­ nected with the arts . For one thing, students a re ti red of ab­ stracti o n s a n d verbi ag e . F o r another, they've already had to write a short and tho rou g h ly academic paper on some aspect of d ream theory d u ri ng the sec­ ond week. And finally, the interim is a time for experimentation, for left-brain activity, for the comic o r hermetic g l i nt- i n -t h e - eye a p ­ proach to lea rning, for what a teacher of mine calls "i ntellectual vaudeville . " We don't demand that everyone be good at what they do - we a ren't in a one­ month class at the age of 1 9 to becom e i nstant a rtistic sensa­ tions. We simply ask that the g ra p p l i n g w i t h t h i s b i z a r re phenomenon be s i n ce re , a n d wholly worked out. It i s hard to fake sincerity, a nd the only real loser is the person who tries. After all, this is a pass-fail class, and a student has to really be asleep to fail a d reams class.

In o r� er to loosen things up, I do two things. First, I tell everyone to go out and buy a box of crayons, because they will have to turn in fiv� d rawings of d rea m images.

ThiS creates a wonderful panic.

M o st s t u d ents h aven't u sed crayons since age 1 0, and the p rospect of sophisticated 1 9-year­ olds standing u p i n front of a class holding a picture of a house still d rawn to suggest only two dimen­ sions p resents a real th reat to the mig hty ego's rule. But because we a re qu ick to laugh at each othe r a n d ou rselves, the pain is short­ lived.

Second, we divide into g roups, partly to do more intensive work

on each other's d reams, but also so that each g roup can take one o r several d reams a nd turn i t i nto a skit. These skits are partly pure n o n:sense ( re m e m be r i n g , a s LewIs Carroll rem inds u s, that nonsense isn't chaos but a cohe­ rent system based upon unfamil­ i a r rules), partly i nstructive, and perhaps partly therapeutic. They help us get over our stage fright. which we all have when we p re­ sent a piece of work that has a l ot of our own soul in it. no matter h ow perfect our technique. And by acting a d ream out. we can see more clea rly where we a re active or passive in o u r d reams. But mostly skits offer an opportu nity to be wonderfully inventive. I once saw someone im personate a swan by using noth ing more than a n umbrella, which she rhythmically opened and closed . These visual jokes a re a kind of d ramatic repre­ sentation of what a d ream image is like.

The skits, which a re planned and performed i n the third week, when we a re all a little tired of my lectures, hel p kick off the fourth and last week, when students present their projects. This year we had several people reading poems (five or six read for the fi rst time in their lives), some visual collages, a couple of short dance compositions, one pa ntomime, one sou nd-and- movement exer­ cise, an original com position writ­ ten for and performed on the string bass, a piano improvisation, a performance of Benjamin Brit­ ten's Nocturne for classical guitar which is based upon dream an d evening images, slides accom ­ panied b y a musical collage, a painting, a composition in chalk and skits staged i n the KPLU radi o studio and in and a round the P LU pool .

In past years we've also had weavings, songs transcribed di­ rectly from d reams and perform­ ed on . the piano, dream i mages embroidered on denim coveralls a musical composition using voice and synthesizer, a costume, a cardboa rd model of a real "dream house," short stories, a nd an autobiog ra phical photo collage.

We've even had people b a k e cookies i n the shape of d ream images, and then donate them to the h ungers they instantly kind l­ ed. There is hardly a med i u m we haven 't touched .

B ret Heim, who performed B rit­ ten's Nocturne, then put his g uitar away and danced his own in­ terpretation of its first movement which he had recorded earlier an d which he used for accompani­ ment. Like Cynthia Tu rner, who choreog raphed several of h e r d rea m moods using h e r classical ballet tech nique, Bret was at­ tempting to find physical equiva­ lents for drea m images. The point to this, as Seattle dancer anrl choreog rapher Pam Schick told us when she came to talk to us, is to follow movement before we know (Continued on page 9)

what it means. Th is approach to d reaming is less interested in i n t e l lectu a l i n t e r p retation and more i nterested in a kind of bod ily i ncorporati o n .

Bill Duri s wrote a piece for the stringed bass a bout a d ream in w h ich an older, sarcastic and a b u ­ sive m a n , who h a d thrown gar­ bage at B i l l , was stra ng led by him and killed. I cou l d n 't tell whether the smile on Bill' s face after his performa nce was for the piece itself, our appla use for it. or the relief he felt in g etti ng rid of his dream n emesis.

In the same way, o u r severa l poets wrote a bo u t d reams, o r from d reams, or i n the manner of d reams. Kari H u ber w rote down a poem which came to her in a dream . I n it was the foll owing l i n e : " T h e d e a fe n i n g r o a r of eyes sea rc h i ng for answers . " La u r a Buckland wrote a bout i m ages: My god, the fear is as wide as ten of me.

To cry out is to lose, I never lose.

Cory Allen wrote a bout a cha racter in one of h i s d reams, "ga uche m a n , " and his experiences in what he cal led the "u nderconsciou s . " Lee Smith used laconic images and ph rases i n a series of love poems to her interior male side.

It is apparent from a l l of th is that d ream images, g u i d ed images, the imagi nation in genera l , is an i m ­ portant source, perha ps the most important. of material for creative work. Drea m - inspi red a rt is. not ipso facto g reat a rt . Of cou rse, it ca n be. We're more i nterested, h oweve r, i n establishing both ways to get in touch with this materia l , and ways to respect it.

We can't simply stri p - m i ne it. or clea r-cut it, because it takes re­ venge even qu icker tha n nature .

We c a n , however, learn to work with it.

And this suggests to me what some of the less obvious values of a course in d reams a re . Remem­ b e r i n g d re a m s , w r i t i n g them down or drawing their images , and u s i n g t h e m in creative work a re a l l good ways of getti ng to know what we call o u r "dark" side .

If " know thyself" is one of the goals of the educated person, we ca n 't be proud of that imperative u n less we've done some " psyc h i c work" o n o u r dark or unconscious or "shadow" side. In our u ncon ­ scious is not only our repressed des i res, feelings a n d thoughts, but also, as Jung remi nded us, o u r potentia l self, o u r prospects, the seeds of what we m i g ht become, and often the germ of what we ought to become but for some reason refuse. We can't control our dark side, but we ca n learn to a ntici pate it. to work with it. to m i n i mize its da mage, just as trees bend in sto rms.

A class i n dreams resem bles the SOcratic idea l . Students d o n 't g e t their drea ms from lectu res or books The p rofessor merely re-

minds th em of what they a l ready know. Here is an educational pro­ cess a l ready going on with i n the student. and not simply between student a n d p rofe s s o r . O u r dreamer - wh ich incidenta lly is si m i l a r to Socrates' " d a i m o n " or i n n e r voice, who spoke to him in oracles and dreams - is a l ready in us, a n d speaks in images, including im ages of us. Once we learn to work with these images, to see them as part of a kingdom with its own laws, but which will also set u p some rel ations with u s , w e feel less incli ned to be so depe n dent on the paltry image-factories i n New York and Ho llywood . I n stead of drea ming of going to Hol lywood , we are a l ready in Hollywood when we drea m .

A cou rse in d reams achieves an

ed ucati o n a l b a l a n c e : s t u d e n t s take in new theories, b u t they a lso a re made dra matically aware ' of what they al ready possess; they a bsorb new material. but give it back i n c reativity a n d play, and not j u st in a n xiety-ridden exams. The professor is more mid-wife than doctor. He helps with the birth that the psyche a l ready fathered .

And this means the professor is less the expe rt with a l l the a nsw­ ers, and more the g u ide with ma ps into the psychic i nterior.

College is not j u st a place that prepares students for the "real world" of jobs. By placing work i n a " Ia rger c u ltural and religio u s con ­ text, we m a ke the " real wort d " m u c h l a rger, richer, a n d more complex than it seemed when we g azed proudly at o u r h i g h school ,

di plomas . But there is also room in th e u n iversity curric u l u m for the occasional course that re minds us of the eq u a l ly rea l worlds of o u r i nte rior selves. On t h e cliffs of M u l k ilteo, the poet J a mes Wrig ht said , America is over a n d done with . In the realm of the psyche, we a re b a rely Pilgrims, h uddled in determination on a bold, new shore. *

PLU M BA Stude nts Ouiz Top Corporate Executives E i g ht of the N o rth west's top corporation executives have a l ­ lowed themselves a nd thei r or­ g a n izations to be scruti ni zed i n t h e i nterests o f education as a pa rt of a J a n u a ry M BA g ra d uate se m i ­ n a r c o n d u cted b y the Pacific Lutheran U niversity School of Bus­ i n ess Ad m i nistratio n .

T h e participa nts incl uded Bruce Ken nedy, chairman of Alaska Air­ l i nes; Bert Ham bleton, president of Associated Grocers; Gail War­ den, chief executive officer for G ro u p H e a lth C o o p e ra t i v e of Puget Sou n d; W i l l i a m M c Nitt, pre­ sident of N a l ley's Fine Foods; J o h n Nordstrom, co-cha i rman of Nord­ stro m ; Ja mes Sen n a , president of Olympia Brewi ng Company; W i l ­ liam P h i l l i p , president of puget Sound Nati o n a l B a n k ; and H a rry M u l l i k e n , c h a i r ma n of Westin H otel s .

T h e semi n a r featu red intensive three-hour sessions with each of the executives . "Some of the issues raised are sensitive and put the executives on the hot seat, " observed Dr. Thomas Sepic, a n associate professor of b usiness a d m i nistration at PLU who con­ ducted the sem i n a r .

They were

a lso ava i l a ble to the executives, several of whom rated them as good as paid management c o n ­ s u lta n t r e p o rts, a cc o rding to Sepic.

From the reports, each student developed a list of q uesti ons cov­ eri n g general ma nagement style and philosophy, and marketing strategy of the corporation .

Some of the executives, Sepic i ndicated, had never spoken be­ fore a student class. ' ' I ' m s u re they had reservations , " he s a i d , " but their w i l l i ng ness to partiCi pate is i n dicative of the g rowing involve­ ment between the ca mpus a n d the business com m unity a n d their awareness of the i m portance of first- hand interaction to the ed u ­ cational process . " Alaska A i rl ines' youthful Bruce Ken nedy was one of the fi rst e x e c u tives to be i nterviewed .

Soon wa rming to his task in the unfa m i l i a r surroundings, he as­ sumed the a u ra of confi d ence a nd

a utho rity that no doubt serves h i m wel l , as head of one of the cou ntry's smaller, but more suc­ cessf u l a i rli nes .

He responded at len gth to i n ­ q u i ries about ma rketing charac­ teristics, price structu res a nd de­ regulation of the ai rline i n d ustry, manag ement styles, a n d long­ range p l a n n i n g . " W e have to watch a l l of the price structures, prices of aircraft and fuel. s a l a ry levels and so on to remain com petitive , " he sa i d . "We d o n 't a s p i re to be a price leader; our objective is to be the most profita ble, not the chea pest. " He i n d i cated that i n return , Alaska offers a q u a l ity service package to its customers . "We want them to have a good expe ri­ ence, " he added .

Ken nedy qu estioned dereg ula­ tio n, noti ng that it was the major carriers who had advocated it, but who were also the o nes bei ng h u rt worst by the i n c reased level of com petition .

Asked about opportu nities for women and minorities, Ken nedy adm itted he wasn 't enthusiastic a bout q u otas, believing his fi rm would have hired s i m i l a r percen­ tages without quotas .

Responding to a question about mergers, Ke nnedy noted that one of h is ainline's strengths is the fact that it i s small and cohesive and that the "Alaska" identity is one of. its best marketing cha racteristics .

At the same time, as he had seve ra l times d u ring the i nterview, he a l l uded to his u ltimate respons i b i l ­ ity t o the stockholders, and that i f a truly beneficial offer i s m a d e , it i s h i s responsibil ity to m a ke i t known to the m .

TwO Recent Books By PLU Profs Examine Plight Of u .S., World Poor Two recently published books

by Pacific Lutheran University pro­ fessors command g reater atten ­ tion on the part of Americans, and Ch ristians i n part:cular, to the plight of the poor in both the United States and abroad .

Dr. Walter Pilg rim's new book, Good News To The Poor, published

by Augsburg Publishing � ouse asserts that affluent Americans, anyone who has enough food and shelter for his own needs and more besides, must do more for the poor than simply pray for them .

The PLU religion professor a nd director of the Lutheran Institute for Theological Edication ( LITE ) contends that Jesus called for a radical sharing of goods - a . command that makes many ChriS­ tia ns, including hi mself, squirm.

America as a nation has a re­ sponsibility to its neig hbors in the Third World . As citizens of the richest nation in the world, it is u p to us to feed a n d care for those who are suffering, he indicated .

In a n attempt to put beliefs into practice, Pilgrim has cause� him­ self and h is family some discom­ fort and soul searching . The PI!­ grim family has di�cus.sed . what It could do to simplify ItS lifestyle, providing more .money . to help others - diSCUSSions which have led to some lively family debates.

The book's unique approach includes the fact that schol.a rs from six discipli nes - economiCS, political science, socio!ogy, SOCial work, religion a nd ethiCS - have collaborated to present an Inte­ grated examination of poverty.

Study Rates PLU Chemistry Department Among Nation's Best The Pacific Luthera n U niversity Department of Chemistry can be listed a mong the top three per­ cent of compa rable departments in the cou ntry in terms of research and instructional activity, accord­ ing to recent data compiled by the

Journal of Chemical Education.

The a uthors of the study, J . W. Spencer and C . H. Yoder, reported on American private colleges a nd u niversities that do not grant doctoral degrees.

Of the 1 ,1 00 i nstitutions elig ible for inclusion, only 1 74 met the stated criterion that was selected for judging high performance: eight or more alumni receiving doctoral deg rees between 1 96776. ( PLU had 1 5 .)

The 1 74 top colleges and univer­ sities were compared on the basis of eight characteristics. PLU a p­ pea red a mong the top 30 nation­ wide in three of the eight: ( 1 ) number o f publications, (2) n umb­ er of dollars i n National Science Fou ndation U ndergraduate Re­ sea rch Pa rtici pa t i o n s u p p o rt (1 968-77), and (3) number of NSF-

URP gra nts (1 968-77), Among the leading colleges and universities, only 1 4 a re located in the western U n ited States (four in Washington, three i n Oregon and seven in California!.

A further study finding showed that only one percent. or 1 1 of the 1 ,1 00 eligible institutions, pro­ duced more NSF Fellows d u ring the period studied (1 974-79) than did PLU .

The i ntent of the study was to i d entify the c h a racteristics of undergraduate chemistry depart­ ments that a re associated with recognizably high performance.

According to the authors, it is often accepted that a valid mea ­ su re of the quality and vitality of an academic department is t h e number of its graduates who go on to advanced study and receive doctorates in the same or related d isciplines.

High productivity here shows that the department is providing its students with a solid education­ al base and interesting them in further development. they indi­ cated .

Ca pita l F u nd D rive Pa st Ha lf way M a rk The Pacific Luthera n U niversity "Sharing i n Strength" capita l/en­ dowment fund campaign recently successfully matched a $500,000 challenge g ra nt from M.J. Mur-

dock Charitable Trust of Vancouv­ er, Wash., according to Luther Bekemeier, PLU vice-president for development and director of the campaig n .

Donated Fund Adds Realism To Stud ies In I nvestment Ma nagement B u s i n ess students at Pacific Lutheran U niversity will soon be using real money to lea rn invest­ ment ma nagement.

A g ift of $25,000 from M a ry Lund Davis of Gig H a rbor, wife of PLU Regent George Davis, has established the Business School Investment Fund, according to Dr. Gu ndar King, dea n of the PLU School of Business Adm i nistratio n .

Purpose of t h e fund, King i ndi­ cated, is to offer rea listic i nvest­ ment experience and understand­ ing of the free enterprise system .

Assu ming a steady g rowth of the fund, profits would also be used to fu nd student-oriented projects .

During Februa ry, students i n ­ terested i n the p roject met to set u p qualifications for a fu nd board of directors and to elect members to the board . They established that a m i n i m u m q u a l ification would be successful completion of the u n iversity's managerial fi­ na nce course.

According to terms established by the donor, students a re to be g iven a fai rly free hand in selecting investment securities. Only real estate and commodities a re for­ bidden.

O n ly if the fund is not handled

responsible or serving a useful purpose may the PLU regents terminate the fu nd and tra nsfer the assets to their endowment accou nts.

King indicated that administra­ tion of the fu nd would give stu ­ dents valuable contacts with brok­ ers, advisors, market services, cor­ poration executives a nd the sec­ u rities markets.

Wh ile the fu nd ' s student d i rec­ tors will be expected to be con­ scientious and use good judg­ ment, they will have no personal liability for the results of their decisions.

Th ree advisors from the u n iver­ sity and busi ness community will be chosen to assist the students but the a ctual investment deci� sions will be made by the students. " Investments will be restricted to u .s . government and corporate obligations of every kind, com­ mon or p referred stocks of corpo­ rati o n s , a nd m o n ey m a r ket funds," King explained . He antici­ pates i nvestments i n the stock of five to 1 0 companies and some fixed i ncome i nvestments . stu­ dents will be enco u raged not to i nvest more than 20 percent of the fund in any one stock, he poi nted out.

The successful challenge, coupl­ ed with add itional gifts through Feb. 1 5, brings the campaign total to $8.3 m illion, past the halfway mark toward a goal of $1 6.5 million, Bekemeier indicated .

The chal lenge was extended by the Mu rdock Trust last spring as a part of a $1 . 5 million gift to the PLU campaig n . On the challenge deadli ne date, Dec. 1 6, the u n iver­ sity matching fu nd had reached $666,000.

Bekemeier explained that chal­ lenge fu nds included more tha n $ 2 2 5 , 000 f r o m m a j o r g ifts , $1 35,000 from corporations and businesses, more than $1 00,000 from bequests, and other con­ t ri b ut i o n s from fo u n d at i o n s ' churches, alumni a nd friends.

Over 400 g ifts were included i n the total, he i ndicated .

Acknowledging the successful challenge, Sam Smith, executive director of the M u rdock Trust. said, "We have some appreciation of the diligent cultivation req u i red to meet the challenge, and we extend cong ratulations to all who hel ped i n reaching the goal "We a re a lso pleased to note the very substa ntial prog ress toward the overall goa l , and you have o u r conti n u ed g o o d w i s h es, " h e added .

Mu rdock Foundation and chal­ lenge fu nds have been designated for the construction of a new PLU science facility. Representatives of Broome, O r i n g d u l p h , O 'Too l e , Rudolf a n d Associates of Portland, O re., a rchitects for the proposed n ew b u i l d i ng , have presented schematic d rawings of the pro­ posed building to the u niversity.

New Scul ptu re To O race PLU Libra ry Fou ntain A bu r n i s h ed sta i n less steel sculpture by PLU artist-in-resi­ dence Tom Torrens will be install­ ed this spring in the fountain in front of Mortvedt Libra ry .

T h e 1 8-foot. three-sided col ­ u m n , a memorial to John Heuss­ man Jr., will be lighted at the top and water will cascade from near the top of the sculpture, accord ­ ing to Torrens.

The i nstallation wil l once agai n lend beauty to the fou nta i n a rea, which has been inoperative the past several years.

Funds for the memorial a re bei ng made available from the John Heussman Jr. Memorial Fund at PLU . John, who died last sum­ mer in a scuba d iving accident, was the son of PLU librarian John Heussma n and his wife, Jo. Contributions to the memorial fund may be made by contacting Luther Bekemeier at the PLU De­ velopment Office. The scul pture will be forma l ly dedicated April 1 9.

Model of fountain sculpture offers visual impression of the work's final appearance.

1 982-83 TuitiOn.

Roo m And Boa rd Increased ; University Aid Dou bled Costs of tuition , room a n d boa rd at Pacific Lutheran U n iversi­ ty next fall will allow sustai ned g rowth in prog rams, as well as reflect i nflationary pressures, PLU President Dr. William O. Rieke indicated in an nounci ng a 1 3 per­ cent increase in tuition for the 1 982-83 academic year Feb. 1 1 .

The PLU president a nnounced Board of Regents approval of a tuition i ncrease to $1 65 per credit 'hour, or $5,280, compared to the current year's $4,675 for a fu ll 32semester-hour acade m i c load .

Room and boa rd will increase by $280 to $2,370 for a full year, accord i ng to Rieke.

As a result of the i ncrease, costs at Pacific Lutheran next year will ran k sixth a mong a g roup of 1 4 Northwest private colleges and Lut h e r a n c o l l eg es nationwide which offer comparable programs and services .

The president explained that the new cost structure also reflects the concern of the Regents and administration for an adequate faculty-staff sala ry increase next year. At PLU , as has been true i n h i g h e r e d u c a t i o n n atio n a l ly , salaries have lagged behind the rate of inflation, he said.

I n a strong move to help offset increased costs, Rieke indicated that U niversity-funded fi nancial aid will be double the percentage increase in tuition, or 26 percent.

To offer perspective, Rieke ob­ served that as a percentage of average national fam ily income, PLU tuition was 1 3 .8 percent in 1 938. "Today it is approximately 1 5 percent." he said, "so the real costs have increased little, while both quality and quantity of prog ­ rams have increased manyfold . " In other busi ness, Rieke report­ ed that total enrollment (full and part-time students) for the spring semester, which opened Feb. 3, is $3,576, slightly higher tha n last year at this time (3,560).

Prof. Martin, who a lso ta ught a n Elderhostel course last summer, noted the differences between more matu re and you nger stu ­ dents. "The Elderhostelers were open and eager for new experi­ ences, rather than having more set ideas a bout what they wa nted out of a course, " he said.

For his bird-watching class the g ro u p was out wa ndering around the ca mpus at 7 a . m .

Seal was also i m p ressed with the enth usiasm. "They reflect i m ­ mediately o n what i s said, " he observed, "so as a professor I knew I was being hea rd . There was a much quicker ra pport than with you n ger students.

"These people have l ived their w h o l e l i ves, " he added, "and they're not worried about the reactions of others to them. So they ca n react im mediately and natu rally.

� t) ?� Message To Parents Outlines PLU Commitment To Partnership In Face Of Fiscal Pressu res --

at Pacific Lutheran U n iversity. Many g roups with differi ng needs are linvolved i n the offering and receiving of such an education, a nd the Regents a nd administration trust that the requ i rements of all are well served by the cha nges a n nou nced above for 1 982/83,

The fol/owing communication was sent to parents and students after the Board of Regents meeting on Feb, 8, 1982, at which time the tuition, room and board for 1982-83 was aooroved

" Faced with the i nescapable fact that ma inta ining progra m quality requires i n ­ creasi ng student charges , and yet g reatly concerned that assista nce be p rovided to help meet those charges, the Board of Regents yesterday voted to Increase U n iver­ sity funded fi nancial aid by double the percentage increase that will be appl ied to 1 982/83 tuition and room and board rates , For next year, then , torn I dollars for University funded g rants will i ncrease by 26 . 2 % (a dollar sum of nearly one-thi rd mIl l ion ), and tuition. room and board charges will increase bY 1 3 1 % (changing tuition for 32 semester hours from $4672 to $5280 - $ 1 65 per credit hour - and yearly room a nd board from $2090 to $2 370),

The strong increase in financial aid is intended to indicate the University's commit­ ment to do what it can to offset expected decreases in federal sources of financial aid to assure maximum accessibility.

The i ncreases i n student charges will provide faculty and staff with sa lary increases which continue a partial restoration of inflation -caused losses in purchasing power, and also will allow a l i mited nu mber of new ' positions to strengthen existing and g rowing progra ms, Even with the new 1 982/83 cha rges, the U niversity will not change its relative position with respect to tota l cost a mong similar private i nstitutions ( remai ning at 6th place

" Even as one contem plates those horrible alternatives, the point can be raised that during the nuclea r age to date, the threat of ultimate violence has tended to deter large­ scale violence, Is there not a n element of morality i n that?

"At the sa me time. most mainline denomi­ nations have peace groups that lea n towa rd pacifism, such as our own Lutheran Peace Fellowship, " Stivers' analysis seemed to support the reflection that while one can poi nt to uncou nted exa mples where realism has been used wrongly to justify violence, its support of power balances tends to produce a shaky harmony and a sembla nce of h u manity among peoples, Can a pacifist justify the ulti mate conseq u­ ences of his or her beliefs, which could amount to martyrdom or the acceptance of horrible injustice? " Pacifisim is an idea!," Stivers concluded , "There have to be people around witnessing to an idea l . They a re catalysts in a community, They keep us honest.

Heritage Society Mem bers Goal: Doing Somethi ng For PLU

By Edgar Larson Director of Planned GIving

Q

C l u b Sets New Record With $444,000 In Gifts In 1 981

B y J o h n Aakre AssOCiate Director, Development

Q Club gifts in 1 981 set an all time record, according to David Berntsen, di rector of development. Total g ift i ncome was up over 1 4 percent to $444,937. hese figures b ri ng the Q Cl ub's ten yea r accumu lated gift total near $ 2 . 5 million since the organization's i nception in 1 97 2 .

Adm i ral James Russell, Q Club President, indicated that the Directors of the 1 , 1 00 member volunteer organization were to meet on Feb. 22 to set goals for 1 982. " I anticipate," Russell stated, "that t h e Direc­ tors may shoot for a goal of $ 500,000 for this year.

"We were a lso pleased, " Russell continued, "that membership growtll was strong i n 1 981 . With u nmet scholarship need increas­ ing $1 ,000 per student in the past year, it is impossible for Q Club i ncome to keep pace without growth in members as well as g ifts . " The Q Club i s composed of friends a nd a l u m n i of Pacific Lutheran U n iversity. Memb­ ers contribute a m i n i m u m of $20 per month or $240 ann ually to the U niversity's Annual Fund. These gifts a re unrestricted a nd a re u sed to p rovide scholarships and help mini mize tuition increases.

Those joining Q Club since the last issue of SCE N E are : Mr. a nd M rs. Paul Askland­ Associate Fellow, Rev. and M rs. Robert Baker, Paul Berntsen, Bethel Lutheran C h u rch­ B rush Prairie, M r. and M rs. Jim Bies, Mr. and M rs . Walter Call, Carl Coil J r . , Dr. and M rs.

I n the past week I have met with th ree different persons who indicated to me that they were interested in planning their estates i n such a way as to provide an eventual giftto PLU. A bequest, a cha ritable trust an insur­ a nce gift - each of these was mentioned as a possible way of fund ing such a deferred gift.

However, the key phrase that stood i n each of these conversations was similar to this: " I wa nt t o do something for P L U . . . " They were not looking at the tax benefits, al­ though such benefits would be available.

They were not especially concerned about how the U niversity would use their gift (they had confidence that the gift would be used p roperly by PLUl. These people were looking at ways to sha re their estate with a place - PLU - that has meant something to them, both in past and in the present. But more so, these people were looking for ways to provide a gift in the future, for future generations of students .

They realized that more and more, P LU relies on bequests a nd other plan ned gifts for the undergirding of its ongoing prog ram .

Last fa Ii , tne Heritage Society was establish ­ ed at Pacific Lutheran. This organization is made up of persons who have i ndicated to the U niversity that they have remembered PLU in some manner of deferred gift. Such deferred gifts can i nclude bequests in one's will, insura nce i n which the U niversity is owner and beneficiary, pooled i ncome fund gifts, gift a n nuities, or charitable trusts.

Cu rrently, over sixty persons have notified the U niversity of their i ntention to make a deferred gift to PLU . A conservative estimate of the value of those deferred gifts is over $1 million. These gifts will not be received by PLU until someti me in the future. However, because of the willingness of individuals to think of a deferred gift to the U niversity, and to notify PLU of th is intention, the U niversity is able to take such future g ifts i nto consider­ ation when plan n ing is done.

Membe rs of the Heritage Society each receive a beautiful copy of a d rawing of Ha rstad Hall (Old Main). This is given to the mem bers in order to show the a pp reCiation of the U niversity. Also, there is an a n n ual complimentary dinner to which membe rs of the Society are invited . In addition, members receive u pdated estate planning information on a regular basis.

A n y o n e w h o h a s re m e m be red PLU through such a deferred gift, but who has not notified the U niversity, should contact me so that he or she may be recog nized as a member of the Heritage Society.

Maybe you have been wonderi ng how you m ig ht "invest" in the futu re of PLU. For more i nformation, write or call for "Thirteen Ways to Plan You r Cha ritable Gift." contact: Edgar Larson Director Of Planned Clvlng PLU - Offi ce Of Development Nesvlg Alumni center Tacoma , waShington 98447

Pa rtnership Between Church And Cam pus Alive And Growing

By John W . Adlx, Director Of Congregational Representative Program

Several years ago it was just an idea. It was an idea whose time had come, for the Congregational Representative progra m i s alive and g rowi ng. Today there are better than 2 90 cong regations who have identified persons to serve PLU and the church.

Some a re alumni. some a re parents, some a re people interested in Christian higher education . Each becomes a l i n k between the church a nd the u niversity These people carry the flow of information about the u niversity to thei r congregations. Throug h these peo­ ple the needs, suggestions, and information flow to the u niversity from the congrega­ tions.

C o n g reg ation a l rep rese ntatives p ro­ moted the Ch ristmas concerts; they have hosted PLU events in their homes and churches; they let PLU know of prospective students; they create college scholarships in their congregations; they invite facu lty and student groups to their churches; they help in p lanning the PLU Emphasis Sunday.

The i nterdependence of life is having a full expression i n the church - PLU partnership It is exciti ng to be a part. The partnership began 91 yea rs ago, when church people, dedicated to education, gave birth to thei r institution.

The bonds lengthen and deepen as both church and u niversity extend thei r hands i n partnership.

The cong regational representative prog ­ ram ' maintains and sustains the vital link. It is part of the mortar that cements these ties .

The exchange between church and u niversity is a mutual respect for the mission and the task of each . Though chartered and com mis­ sioned to function for different p urposes in the life of h umankind, we share the common Lordsh i p of Christ.

Be Placed On What PLU M e a n s To You ?

By Dr. Jeffrey Probstfleld Alumni Association Rege nts Representa tlve

C a n you put a dollar amount on what P LU mea n s to you? How much has your u niversity deg ree been worth to yo u? Has your educa­ tion been worth more to you because you got it from PLU? What n o n - academic re­ wards did you g a i n from yo ur a ssociation with PLU? Is you r q u ality of l ife better because of your association at PLU? Did your C h ristia n l ife take on an added d i m ension beca use of academic a s well as non-academic aspects which you experienced at PLU ? Were you blessed in a special way to marry a nother of the PLU fa m i ly? Does PLU have spec i a l mea n i n g f o r you even thoug h you were never perso n a l ly a student there?

A lot of questions - old q u e sti o n s perhaps. Some of you obviously place h ig h val u e o n o n e or more of the a reas which a re a d d ressed by the questions above, a n d you have responded in k i n d in the recent presi­ denti a l question n a i re a n d with your con ­ tributions. Maybe some have considered one or more of the q u estions but have been u n able previously to respond . Or maybe you sti l l a re looking for a reason to give?

In the 1 8 years s i nce my last days as a student at P LU there have been two accredi ­ tation eval uati ons of the school . O n both occa sions despite h i g h eva l u ation m a rks overa ll there have been strong statements from the a ccreditation tea m fo r i m med iate construction of a scie n ce building for clas­ s rooms a nd laboratories . This is the sa me science b u i ld ing that there were d iscuss i o n s a bout 1 8 years ago.

H ave the u niversity governi n g boards and a d m i n istration con ducted themselves i rres­ ponsi bly? Noth ing could be furt h e r from the truth . In deed, I count it a rare privilege to represent the a l u m n i on the Board of Regents a n d to witness firsthand the extraor­ d i n a ry qual ity of our U niversity - its stu­ dents, facu lty, a d m i n istration, physical pla nt, curricu l u m and staff.

A Ric h . F u l l Life Rev. Roy Olson

By Judy Davis

The tragic deaths of t h ree PLU coeds ki lled i,n an autom obile accident 1 8 yea rs ago is the basis for a new book, Ch ristians a n d Tro u b l e , written b y the Rev. Roy E. Olson, d i rector of public rel a ­ t i o n s for P L U from 1 951 t o 1 96 5 .

I n t h e book's forewo rd, t h e Rev. Alv i n N . R o g n es s , p r e s i d e n t emeritus of Luther Theological Se m i n a ry, Olson's a l m a m a t e r , wrote: " Few men have had as vibrant a Ch ristian m i n istry over such a long period of time as Pastor Roy E. O lson - well over half a centu ry. " Few men speak or write with such flu id cla rity . . . few men pou r out thei r sou l s with such passion . . . his u n dersta nd ing of the faith is clear, his t heology sou n d . " P a stor Olso n 's m i n istry has spa n n ed congregations from M i n ­ n esota t o Alaska a n d h a s i n c l u ded speci a l i zed m i n i stries to prisons, u n iversities, youth organ izations and a national men's g roup. He has been exceed i n g ly popu lar as a lecturer a n d c o n t r i b u t o r t o periodicals and newspapers.

"No one will rea d this book without being caught u p with

Pasto r ' s O l s o n ' s love of t h e ch u rc h , for its message, for peo­ ple and the g lory of God . " Now being p rinted b y Aug s b u rg Publish ing Compa ny, the book will be ava i la ble i n pa perback i n the PLU Bookstore, as well as in Seat­ tl e-Tacoma bookstores.

At its crux, the book is a reflec. tion of Olson's lifelong " rebellion" a g a i n st C h r i st i a n s e x p l a i n i n g traged ies with the platitude, " It's God 's wil l . " "After t h e girls' deaths , I pre­ sented a ta l k i n chapel which takes a nother viewpoint: that we live i n a world of natural forces . . . when these forces clash, C h ristians can be victi ms, " expla ined Olson, a re ligion colu m n ist for the Tacoma News Tri b u ne w h i l e he was at PLU .

"Of co u rse, " he c o n t i n u e d , "this belief al lows for God to work miracles in times of tragedy - but when and where he i s g O i ng to i ntervene is one of life' s mysteries . . . we m u st leave with God his choices . . .

O lson's eloquent explanation of how C h ri stians ca n cope with traged ies l i ke th ose affecting the PLU stude nts was re - pri nted i n t ract form after i t appeared i n The Lutheran Sta ndard 17 years ago.

It was widely d istributed to clergy and laymen a l ike.

"As part of this same m ission , my wife a n d I have decided to distribute the book I've written to Lutheran pastors to use i n their m in istry to those coping with trouble i n their lives , " said the "

former pastor of Centra l Lutheran C h u rc h i n Tacoma.

O lson believes he is one of those God has chos e n to save from t ragedy. ' ' I 've survived i nfl uenza, a near­ d row n i n g , fou r a b dominal opera­ tions, a stroke, ca ncer, tuber­ culosis and Parkinson's disease, and I ' m sti l l here to tell about it!

"The Lord has had something i n m i n d for me! " decla red t h e zest­ ful , active 81 -yea r-old who lives i n Everett, Was h . , with his 80-yea r­ old wife, Ida .

I d a , too, has withstood tragedy.

"Twelve yea rs ago, she was oper­ ated on for a brain tumor . . . the doctor said she cou ld easily be­ come a vegeta ble . . . but tod ay, she served me b re a kfast , " said Olson, who will present a series on eva ngelism d u ri n g Lent at Zion Lutheran C h u rch in Everett.

W h i le in Tacoma, the O lsons raised fo u r boys who a re all PLU graduates: Ken '58, a pastor at O u r Savior's C h u rch i n Buri e n ; Je rry ' 5 9 , of Pensacol a , Fla . , a comm a n ­ der of the Naval Reserve Officers Tra i n i n g Corps; Tim '60, an E n g l i s h tea cher at Shorewood High School in Seattle; and Dave '62 , president of the . consulting division of a pension firm in Sa n Fran cisco.

Ken's and T i m ' s wives, Helen a n d Lorelie, a re also PLU a l u m s .

After reti ring from P L U , Olson resu med h is preach ing in Con­ crete, Was h . For nine years, he min istered to a " roug h -a n d -t u m ­ ble" popu lat i o n t h a t was e x ­ periencing weig hty "troubles" in­ side the congregation and i n their personal l ives as wel l .

While th ere, O lson a uthored a newspaper co l u m n , " Picked Up Along the Way, " i n the Concrete Hera l d which received top jour­ nalism awards in the state.

"Out of a l l my experiences, " reflected Olson, ' ' I 've gai ned re­ spect for t h e h u m a n personality . . . I ' ve discovered we ' re all ig nor­ ant, except on different su bjects!

"Althou g h certa i n ly not trou­ ble-free, I ' ve led a rich , full l ife, " he added. " Each day, I sti l l can say 'What s h a l l I re nder u nto the Lord for all his benefits to me? ' " M y book is one way of g iving someth ing back. "

steilacoom Names Athletic Field To Honor B la i r Taylor For 35 Yea rs Of Service

By Judy Davis

For 40 years, PLU footba l l fans have re- l ived the exploits of Marv Tommervik a n d Marv H a rs h m a n , Ali-Americans w h o l e d t h e Lutes to national g ridiron promi nence.

However, the oldest record in the PLU footbal l record book be ­ longs not to Harshman or To m ­ mervik, b u t t o B l a i r Taylor, their roorn mate at PLU . In 1 938, Taylor, the Lute q u a rterback, retu rned a kickoff 1 00 yards for a touchdown against Linfield College Even when he a chieved this "moment of tri u m ph " on the footba ll field, Taylor was unawa re of his accomplish ment.

"I just did the job expected I got the ball a nd ra n with it . . . when I made the touchdown, I felt lucky ! " reca ll ed Tayl o r , reti red su perintendent of the Ste ilacoom School District. There was a n other reason Taylor d id not fully a p­ preciate his record -setti ng ru n : his. a n kle hurt. " I n fact. it hurt so bad, I could n 't complete the game," he revealed , chuckl i n g .

But a s t h e years have g o n e by, the record of the tea mmate who played in the shadow of Tom m er­ vik a n d Hars h m a n has g a i ned sig n ifica nce "I think the record is a lot more meaningful now than it was when, we were a youn g tea m just start' i ng out , " said the retired educator who cha racteristi c a l l y c h o s e a i modest, quiet style d u ring his I career with the Steilacoom School District.

I Bla i r Taylor's attitude as a foot­ I ba ll player at PLU - "Take the ba l l i a nd ru n with i t a nd do what has to I be done" - was a bench m a rk of his 35 years as a n ed ucator.

By the time he retired in 1 976, ,he had served the Steilacoom i Historica l School District N o . 1 a s a teacher, "athletic d i recto r, " pri n ­ cipal a nd , fina lly, su perintendent.

Reluctantly, he g ave u p his re­ sponsi bilities a s a bus d river for the d i st r i ct when he d o n ned the superi ntend ent's hat. " For me, d rivi ng a bus was a way to get to k n ow a n d u ndersta nd the children I was teach i n g , " said Taylor, whose philosophy of i nd i ­ vidualizi ng a child 's education a s much a s poss ible was reflected in the district's prog ra ms. Duri ng Taylor's te n u re, the district g rew from one school to fou r elemen­ ta ry schools a nd a high school.

The years of ded icated service h a v e b e e n n o ticed a n d a p ­ preciated by t h e Steilacoom com­ munity. Last fa l l , the school district near Tacoma ded icated the Blair Taylor Athletic Field . The Taylor ath l et i c co m p l e x i n c l u d e s a stadium, track, football field, te n -

Dr, Anita E . (Schell '57) Hendrick­ son, professor of ophthalmology at the U niversity of Washington, has been named recipient of the first $50,000 Research to Prevent Blind ness - Dolly Green Scholars Award to assist her basic studies of the organization and structure of the visual system . The award is the largest g iven by Research to Pre­ vent Blindness, Inc. to encourage outsta nding work in progress i n the field of ophthal mology, Dr, Hend rickson is international­ ly recog nized for her studies in neuroa natomy and the develop­ ment of the nervous system . She has made major contributions to the understa nding of glaucoma and of chi ldhood visual d isorders such as a mblyopia and strabismus.

The RPB award is named in honor of M rs . Dolly Green, the p ro m i n e nt West Coast philan­ ' thropist, whose gift of $500 ,000 to Research to Prevent Blindness (RP8) has provided a permanent e ndowment f u n d for this purpose Dr, Hendrickson , the mother of three children, earned her P h D , deg ree from the University of Washington, which she joi ned as a resea rch instructor in 1 965.

Dr. Hendrickson s u m m a ri zes her scientific interest as a n at­ tem pt to u nderstand how the brain develops, especially in re­ gard to how we see , "The brai n," she says, "is a very complex struc­ tu re with millions of cells making billions of specific connections.

Yet, somehow, most of the ti me it all comes out wired up correctly, What a re the rules that govern its development? How can we learn to manipulate its development to avoid mistakes? " She has a pproached these prob­ lems by studying laboratory anim­ als in which the visual system has been developed incorrectly, lead­ ing to a m blyopia, a common visual i m pairment i n child ren . By com­ paring the developmental seq u ­ ence of amblyopia with that of the normal visual process, she hopes to identify critical points of d iffer­ ence' The ulti mate objective is to then learn how to manipulate the system to avoid its a bnormal de­ velopment and p revent the d isor­ der in children.

During her college years, Dr. Hendrickson was soloist for the Lute Chorus, was the West Coast Women's Debate cham pion and was second nationally in both

debate and individual speaki ng. At the sa me time she worked as a secretary to pay for her ed ucation.

Shortly after graduation she mar­ ried Morris N , Hendrickson '50 now a professor of drama at Shoreline Community College i n Seattle, They w i l l celebrate thei r 25th wedding anniversary next June, Despite her heavy sched ule of research and teaching at the U n ­ iversity and consultive a nd col­ laborative responsibilities to other i nstitutions, Dr, Hendrickson finds time to pursue her wide personal i nterests , These incl ude plain a nd fancy cooking, needlepoint, land­ sca pe gardening, sports-car rac­ ing, breeding Burmese cats and reading history, biography and m u rder mysteries. On the other hand, she adds, " I am a bout the only Nordic-type in Seattle who does not ski on snow or water, " With the rest of the family, she enjoys sailing on Puget Sound in a sailboat built by her husband,

Na ncy Leigh TOps List Of 1 982 Honors Graduates Nancy Jo Leigh of Bellevue, Wash . , was the only 4.0 g raduate among 593 seniors receiving de­ g rees at Pacific Lutheran Universi­ ty Sunday, May 2 3 .

Leigh, a n English major, is the daughter of Mr. a nd M rs. H .S. Leigh, 5267 1 1 7th Avenue S.E. in Bellevue, Was h . She g raduated from Newport High School i n 1 978.

Eleven additional PLU seniors g raduated summa cu m laude (3.9 grade averages) . They were Steven Barnes, also of Bellevue, a chemis­ try major; O neida Battle, political science, Tacoma; Paul Brassey, music, Yaki ma; Mark Chestnutt, chemistry, Portland, Ore . ; Cheri Cornell, economics, Kent; Barbara H e rzog , mathematics, Tacoma; Kristy Loreen , biology, Spokane; P a u l a M onteith, legal studies, Seattle; Maren Nelson Nordby, e n g i n e e r i n g , T a co m a ; K a ren Sch ramm, religion, Chelan; and Steven Vitalich, business administ­ ration, Seattle.

N inety-one seniors g raduated magna cum laude ( 3 . 6) and 1 30 received cu m laude (3.3) honors.

caps , Bands Mark Progress of 73 Nursing Students S ev e n t y - t h r e e s o p h o m o re nursing students received caps and bands du ring the PLU School of N u rsing's annual capping and banding cermony May 2 .

The awa rds were presented by Dr. Doris Stucke, director of the School of N u rsing, with assistance from n u rsing faculty members Colleen Klei n , Janet Lingenfelter, Phyllis Page and Esther Steege.

Student speakers were Tamara Newcomer of Eugene, Ore . , and Mary Gale of Wenatchee, Was h .

Three of Pacific Luthera n Un­ iversity's most disti nguished and revered professors were honored during Commencement exercises this spri ng. All three had previous­ ly received PLU's hig hest facu lty honor, the Regency Professor­ ship.

B i ol ogy p rofessor Dr. Jen s Knudsen and English professor Dr. Paul Reigstad were cited for 25 years of service to PLU. And relig­ ion professor Dr. Emmet Ekl und retired after 18 years on the PLU faculty.

The careers of all th ree have spanned a period duri ng which PLU g rew rapidly in both size and reputation, a nd all three have played a promi nent role in that g rowth . In addition to the high rega rd they have earned in their professional fields, they personify the strength of PLU i n their devo­ tion to teaching.

One cou ld also find simila rities i n their individual research special­ ties, thoug h the content obviously differs . Preservation of heritage motivates Eklund's continued ef­ forts i n the field of chu rch history and ecu menism, particula rly the i nfluences of the Swedish Luthe­ ran C h u rch, both in Scandinavia and America .

Reigstad, from the days of his doctoral studies in the '50's to the present, has been devoted to the experien ce of N orweg i a n s i n America . H e focuses primarily on the writings of Norwegian-Ameri ­ ca n novelist O . E . Rolvaag For Knudsen there has been a lifelong career endeavor to instill in students a n appreciation of mankind, his history, culture and struggles - withi n the context of his relationships with his environ ­ ment, his fellow h u mans and his Creator.

Duri ng a career spanning over fou r decades since his g raduation from Bethany College in 1 941 , Eklund has served both as a pastor of congregations a nd as a profes­ sor of relig ion. The roles have not been easily sepa rated . As one of h i s col leagues stated recently, "Em met Eklund has been one of those teachers that God has ap­ pointed i n the church . " Eklu nd's words also reflect the duality of the two callings: "Wherever the Gospel has been allowed its freedom, schools such as Pacific Lutheran U niversity have arise n . What is the Gospel about if it is not to redeem humanity from the demonry of bondage?

"The demonry comes in many forms, " he contin ued. "There is the demon of bondage from ig norance about which u niver-

Honored at Commencement were from left, Dr. Emmet Eklund, Dr. Jens Knudsen and Dr. Paul Reigstad

sities such as this a re concerned .

There is the demon of bondage f ro m u n d e rd eveloped talent which this school seeks to alter.

There is the demon of bondage from u ncertai nty as to vocation which this u niversity wants to lessen . " Reigstad also comments o n the concepts of vocation and commit­ ment as he ponders his career.

"Vocation mea ns not only skill and i ntelligence, but convictions ab­ out l ife's value and what life means," he said .

"I want students to feel about literature as I do; it is more than knowledge, it is an engagement, " he continued .

"You can peddle i nformation i n an i nteresting way, a n d that may be good teaching," he observed, "but if it is vocation, somewhere it becomes a matter of your person­ al belief too . " Reigstad, a graduate of st. Olaf College, is the senior of the trio in terms of association with PLU . He taught first i n 1 947-48, then re­ tu rned 1 1 years later. Reflecting on the continuing character of PLU, he recalled former president Dr. Seth Eastvold and his ability in the '40's and '50's to select and a ttract fa cu lty members with commitment to vocation .

That heritage has spanned the decades both throug h Eastvold's facu lty choices and those whose later appoi ntments were made or influenced by those from East­ void's era, he believes.

"Our facu lty is energetic and talented , willing to spend all kinds of time with students, " he said . " It is sti l l the u n iversity ' s g reat strength " Knudsen, a 1 952 PLU g raduate, is a mong the university's most honored and most versatile facul­ ty m e m bers. T h rou g h out his career he has used a variety of a rtistic talents to amplify his g reat teaching skills on the campus, i n the comm u n ity, a n d more recent­ ly, i n the w'ider Pacific Northwest.

A one-time theology student,

his religious a rt now g races several chu rches in th e region . His artistic displays and dioramas on biologic­ a I topics have also been ap­ preciated by thousands of people i n the com m u nity and on cam pus.

Additional hu ndreds of PLU stu ­ dents and g raduates have been the beneficiaries of K n u tsen ' s " B i o l og y a n d Modern M a n " cou rse, which provides a view of the "whole man" which is prob­ ably u nlike any g iven i n other cou rses in the U nited States. It stresses where man lives, not only his physical world , but the world of the mind, including creativity and emotions.

The course, as does Knudsen's life and other professional en­ deavors, reflects his wonder and respect for the sacred ness, beauty and fragility of life. " I n natu re, the only rig ht life offers is one death . All the rest is p r i v i l eg e , " K n u dsen has said.

"How exciting it is to discover the privilege to truly live!"

Both are also leaders in the Lutheran World Federation, which Dr. Hsiao serves as vice-president Dr. Hsaio has been in the van­ guard of global ecu menism dur­ ing an era of reformation and expansion in all of Christendom.

He serves on the boards of the Asian Trustees of the United Board for Ch ristian Higher Education in Asia. the Joint Regional Planning Commission for the Foundaton of Theological Education in South ­ west Asia, Asia Institute of Litu rgy and M usic and Christian Literature Fu nd and Development U pon his acceptance of the award. he said, "I am very g rateful that PLU has so kindly i ncluded me on . its honor list . Although PLU is 8,000 miles away, it is still very close to my heart and r emory," he continued . - recalling \ sits to the campus in 1 956 and 970. Of the latter, he added, "I vas amazed to see the great .J rogress PLU had made since my fi rst visit "I have often wondered, " Hsiao reflected, " how a comparatively small C h ristian u niversity like PLU can not only survive but continue to g row a nd make a great con ­ tribution in an extremely com peti­ tive society l i ke the U nited States today "I believe it is mainly because PLU can provide a kind of hig her education that people in the u . s. and other cou ntries really need education that reflects and carries out the highest ideals of the Christian faith and is distingu ished for quality. " he observed .

Dr. Schaefer has served in vari­ ous areas of the world, i ncluding India and Ethiopia, as teacher and missionary.

The father of two PLU alums, both of whom found spouses at PLU, Schaefer accepted his awa rd by saying, "Throug hout my life I have experienced the riches of this service to the Lord. There is

noth ing that I ca n claim other than that I have been su rrou nded by a commu nity - a worshippin g, nur­ t u r i n g , serv i n g . caring com­ munity ."

He continued, " Faithfulness to the Lord is not to be rewarded, for it is the Lord who works everything through us. I take this award as a recognition of the richness and fu llness of life in this world and for the salvation of our world which comes in serving the Lord. " Like H saio, Schaefer first be­ came acquainted with PLU d u ring the Eastvold administration.

Arg entine Literatu re I l l u minates Fa l kla nd Crisis

By Joelle Cohen Tacoma News Tribune

A Pacific Luthera n U niversity scholar in the field of Argenti ne literature says he wasn't surprised when that cou ntry invaded Great B r ita i n ' s Fo l k l a n d I s l a n d s l a s t month .

"I wasn't expecting it, " said James Predmore, professor of Spanish at P L U . "But given the government there a nd what they might do to attract publicity and s u p port, I wasn't surprised . " Pred more's doctoral disserta ­ ' ion on the work of Argenti ne novelist Ernesto Sabato was pL:b­ lished as a book last fa ll in Spa nish i n M a d r i d . Pred m o re l ived i n rgentina for a yea r while stu dying n a F u l brig ht schola rs h i p . i The Falklands invasion, the pro­ fessor said, was lau nched agai nst a backd rop that i nclu ded a history of rebell iousness agai nst colonial­ ism and a recent mood of "g row­ i ng des perati on" in A r g e n t i n a along with other Latin American countries.

That backdrop is i l l u m i n ated in Argenti ne literature, i ncluding the works of Sabato, whose th ree novels trace a psycholog ical his­ tory that ma kes some sense out of the cu rrent conflict's orig i ns Sabato's first book, The Tunnel, was pu bli shed in 1 948, a n d it reflects Argenti na's l i n k with its predom i n antly Eu ropean roots, Pred more said . Argentine culture has always looked to E u rope, par­ ticu la rly Paris, for c u ltu ra l d i rec­ tion, rath er than to Mexico or other Latin American cou ntries, a n d Tunnel i s a bout existenti a l ­ i s m , which came from Fra nce arou nd that ti m e .

T h e second book, About Heroes and Tombs, was written in 1 961 and focuses on the sea rch for Argentine national ide ntity.

Like the U n ited States, A rgentina experienced mistreatment at the hands of cou ntries which col­ onized it, and bitte rness towards t h o se c o u n tries rem a i n s , Pre­ dmore sai d . Brita i n ' s possession of the Falklands - the " M a lvinas," as they a re called in Argentina - is a rem inder of colonial times.

Also l i ke the U n ited States, he said, Argenti na has been the desti­ nation of th ousands of E u ropea ns fleei ng poverty or persecuti o n .

M a ny Argentines a re o n l y a gener­ ation or two removed from the "old country . " "Since they a re a co u ntry that's basically wh ite, as opposed to (�outh America n) I n d i a n or black or some m ixtu re, the r u l i ng classes h a v e a l w a y s i d e n t i f ied wit h E u rope," he sai d .

"So the d i lemma for Arg e n -

tines was, 'Are w e E u ropeans o r South America n s ? ' " Sa bato's search for the a nswer in his second book "does n 't co me up with many solutions except m a y b e t h a t to be A rg e ntine means to be confused , " he said ­ not in the sense of m a la ise or disorientation, but in the sense of one whose fa m i ly has recently changed its home.

Though not resolved, the issue of national identity has faded in recent years, P redmore said . I n its place has risen the problem of politica l repression a nd u n rest, a nd the fear that accompa nies g u erilla war, civil persecution and tales of torture and brutalIty. These concerns are reflected in Sabato's third book, Abaddon the Exterminator. It was written in 1 974.

Thoug h the professor considers Abaddon Sabato's least successfu l novel a rtistica lly, he said it does reflect th i s element of Argenti ne l ife . It i ncludes an ecdotes about torture and the atmosphere of fea r.

"T here's political repression and tortu re i n the book, " Pred more said. " It's tryi ng to reflect the new, the more desperate situ ation of cou ntries i n Latin America , which I t h i n k i s t h e m o s t p r ess i n g p h e n omenon today . "

"It's proba bly a cynical endeavor to m a rtial su pport for the govern­ ment, " Predmore said . "Everyone in Argenti na wants the Fal klands back. They see the whole problem in terms of colonialism . " B u t the plan m ay not work, he said. " I nte resti ngly, it's beg u n to backfi re , " Pred more sai d .

Ca l l Fo r E nd To N uclea r Arms Ra ce P re s i d e n t Reaga n ' s p u s h to spend increasing bil lions for de­ fense is more likely to cause a war than to prevent one, a U . S . co n­ g ressman a nd a former state depa rtment offi cial told a crowd of 1 , 500 at Pacific Luthera n U n ­ iversity i n March .

The U n ited States could never defend itself against a n uclear attack - but it may be triggering one in its desperate attempt to p i l e u p b i g g e r a n d better wea pons, former State depart­ m ent official Richa rd Ba rnet said .

Wash i ngton State Congressman D o n B on k er a n d Seatt l e Ar­ chbishop Raymond H u nthausen joined Barnet i n u rging a n end to the n uclear a rms race d u ri ng a d a y - l o n g Peace m a k i ng Confer­ e n ce at PLU. Acco rding to Ba rnet, m i l ita ry leaders are told their job is to defend this nation from n u clea r attack, b u t there i s no way to defend this nation from n uclear attack.

The former mem ber of the Ke n nedy a d m i n istration who is

now a senior fellow at the I nstitute for Policy Studies in Wa shi ngton D . C . , said that it only takes 1 00 n u clear wa rheads to k i l l 40 mi llion people a n d destroy half to two­ thirds of the i n dustrial capacity of either su perpower.

Cu rrently the u .s . has 30,000 nuclear wa rheads a n d the Rus­ s i a ns have 20,000, fa r beyond what either side needs to destroy the other, he added .

"The idea of building u p even more as a deterrent is a mad i l lusio n , " Barnet said. " N u m bers don't mean m u ch a nymore, they rea lly don 't.

"The b u i l d u p does nothing to th reaten the other side or prevent them from striking, it only con­ vinces both sides their safety lies in striking fi rst. " he added .

Barnet reca l l ed the late John F. Kennedy's wa rning that " M a n ki n d m u st p u t a n e n d t o the a rms race, or the arms race will put an end to man . " He said that the former president' s words were " e l o ­ qu ent, t r u e - a nd ignored . " H u nthausen called the a r m s race "the g reatest spiritu a l crisis i n

history," a n d s a i d h e would op­ pose any p repa ration for "that u ltimate blasphemy and murder, nu clea r holocaust . " Bonker said h e i s one of 1 28 mem bers of the u .s. House of Represe ntatives co-spo nsori ng a joint resolution cal ling for a nuc­ lear wea pons freeze a n d eventu a l reduction of a rm s . " I th i n k i t represents a g rowing senti ment i n this co u ntry. M a ny bel ieve that the U . S. a n d the Soviets a re on a da ngerous col lision cou rse , " he a dded .

Barnet concluded his rema rks by sayin g , "Even if they si ncerely des i re to avoid wa r, America n a n d Russia n offici als a re pushing ever nea rer to the a bsol ute exti nction of ma n .

"If the U . S. conti nues to pour money i nto the a rms race, the Russia ns will be forced to follow suit.

"Their i n secu rity is our i nsecu ri­ ty, " he a dded . "This is the time, if there ever was a time, to stop It. In the name of God , i n the name of m a n , let us stop it now "

Norwegian Visitors Give PLU Pacific Northwest H igh Ma rks ,

Tacoma's scenic beauty and the friendli ness of American citizens received high marks from two prominent Norwegians who vi ­ sited Pacific Luthera n U niversity in May.

Said Hauge, "The im pression most Norwegians have of America is one of huge cities and endless prairies . But after this trip we have memories of such places as Jeffer­ son's beautiful Monticello, Vir­ ginia, where dogwoods bloom like white s u nshine, and Lake Ontario, a seemingly endless ocean in the middle of the cou ntry " But the loveliest part of all is this area with its beautiful flower­ ing shrubs and trees, evergreen forests and snow-capped mou n ­ tains.

New Satellite Dish , First Listener Festival Highlight KPLU-FM Spring A new 3.6 meter satellite dish, i nstalled May 19 at Pacific Lutheran U niversity, will i mprove prog ra m­ m i ng ca pability and broadcast quality at KPLU -FM, according to station general manager Dr. Mar­ tin Neeb.

W hen o perati o n a l later this month, the dish will allow the 1 00,000-watt station to receive data and progra m m i n g di rect from N ational Public Radio and Corporation for Public Broadcast­ i ng as well as to provide direct ' down-link services i n the Pierce County area, Neeb indicated .

KPLU-FM has p rev i o u s ly re­ ceived NPR programming via tele­ phone linkage to a satellite dish at KTOY -FM. The new equipment will improve the PLU station's stereo quality and on-line performance, according to Neeb.

The dish and associated equip­ ment were funded by a $26,000 g ra nt from the National Telecom­ munications and Information Ad­ ministration, U.S. Department of Commerce.

Installation of the satellite dish coi ncided with the final day of KPLU's first Listener Festival, a fund-raising campaign that ex­ ceeded its $ 1 5,000 goal.

Highlig hts of the festival include the auction of two autographed baseball's from Gaylord Perry's 300th victory game (for $125 and $1 35 respectively) Other participating sports per­ s o n a l ities included s portscaster Red Barber and the Tacoma Tigers' Shooty Babbitt.

Guests here of PLU President William O. Rieke, the men were impressed with the educational work of the church at such i nstitu­ tions as PLU. "We do not know of any other place where Norwegian immig rants have made such rich contributions in church a nd edu ­ cation than in America , " they said.

Tveit governs a n area which has seen a boom the past decade in its economy and population due to the discovery of oil off its shores.

Thousands of people have come to the area to work on the con ­ struction of oil platforms, re­ fineries and other allied activities .

There are 5,000 America ns living there who are associated with the oil i n d u stry . H o mes, schools, roads, public service buildings and churches have been built.

U nem ployment is minimal, but the economy has slowed down somewhat the past two years due to the world-wide recession .

New Globa l Studies Major To Be Offered At PLU This Fa ll A new major i n Global Studies, to be added to the Pacific Luthera n U niversity cu rriculum next fall, i s the latest in a series of steps taken

by P LU to respond to the rapidly g rowing need for i nternational study opportun ities, according to PLU Provost Dr. Richard Jung­ kuntz.

The new major, defined as both " interdisci p l i n a ry" a n d " co m ­ plementa ry," is among the first of its kind offered in the Northwest arid is the result of a five-year development plan . It is an organic outg rowth of the PLU Foreign Area Studies Program , a minor first offered in 1 977.

Accordi ng to Ju ngkuntz, the major approved recently by the PLU Board of Regents will incor­ po rate cou rses from the lan­ guages, history, anthropology and political science. As a complemen­ tary major, it must be taken in conjunction with a reg u la r diSCipli­ nary major, he indicated.

Interest in i nternational studies has g rown rapidly in the past five years, J ungkuntz pointed out. "In 1 977 we were among the first i n the nation t o develop a program; today there are programs on 36 ca m p u s es in the N o rthwest alone. " Those 36 colleges. a nd univer­ sities are members of the Pacific Northwest International/Intercul­ tural Ed ucati o n C o n s o rt i u m , founded in 1 979. Dr. Mordecha i

Rozanski, director of the PLU Of­ fice of International Education, is ;the fou nding di rector of the consortium.

"The obvious interdependenc e of the world's nations has hap­ pened so rapidly that few nations are prepa red for the interrelation­ ships that have become neces­ sary," J ungkuntz said. "The United States, as a world leader, must educate more men and women with global perspectives and com­ petencies, trained to understand the world's i nterdependence and to manage its opportu n ities a nd problems."

Global studies has rapidly be­ come an integral part of citizen education and an essential com­ ponent of a broad liberal a rts education, he indicated.

In addition to the Global Studies major a n d the Fore i g n Area Studies m inor, PLU offers a major in Scandinavian Area Studies a nd has i nternationalized its School of .B u s i n e s s Ad m i n istration c u r­ riculum. The Office of Internation­ al Education coordinates these programs, as well as i nternational travel and exchange programs and a variety of continuing educa­ tion activities benefiting the busi­ ness com munity, educators and the general public.

PLU anthropology professor Dr. Greg Guldin has recently been appointed chairman of the Global Studies com mittee.

Accou nti n g Prog ra m

Natio nwid Pacific Lut h e ra n U n iversity's School of Business Admin istration is one of the first 1 8 schools in the U n ited states to earn national accred itation for its accou nting p rogram Announcement of the accredi ­ tation by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Busi ness was made by Dr. Gundar King, dea n of the School of Business Adm i n istr tion This is the first yea r that national academic accreditation has been granted in the accounting field, and PLU IS one of the smallest schools in the nation to be so honored, King indicated .

According to James MacNeill of the America n I nstitute of CPA's, one of the characteristics of a lea rned profession is the concern its members have for the quality of those who will be tomorrow's professionals a nd leaders .

"The accou nting profession re­ cogn ized the need to raise the quality of education in the profes­ sion and to offer guidance to students and employers in iden­ tifying quality prog rams," he said.

"After years of working toward accreditation of accou nti ng prog­ rams, the process is now in place After the first two-yea r cycle of evaluation, 1 8 institutions now have accredited prog rams . " Applications of 34 institutions were evaluated in this cycle. Sa n Diego State U niversity was the only other approved West Coast appl­ icant.

Dr. King indicated the most sig n ificant as pect of being in the i nitial group is that these are schools which have had high quali­ ty programs for some ti me.

"AACSB accredits only programs which a re complete in all respects, w i t h a fi i g n ificant n u mber of graduates, " he said.

According to Dr. Dwight Zu lauf, director of the accou nting prog­ ra m at PLU, AACSB accreditation criteria i nclude student quality ( PLU accou nting graduates aver­ age over 3 . 0 g . p . a 's) faculty qual­ ifications ( h igh concentration of P h .

Zulauf indicated that the new AACSB accounting accreditation program was a positive response to the AICPA. "The accounting profession has become an i n ­ creasingly important. demanding and prestigious field, with re­ quired state licensing and certifi­ cation," he said.

Most recently, Rozanski was i n ­ stru mental in the development of PLU's new complementa ry major in Global Studies, approved by the PLU Board of Regents in April Rosa nski's commitment to the deve l o p m e n t of i nternational studies progra ms is based on the conviction that we a re living in a shrinking world. "The forward rush of tech nology and trade is fast eliminati ng the cushioning space that once separated CUl­ tures and nations," he said.

"Today, g l obal i nterdepend­ ence affects many of the i m por­ tant aspects of our daily lives, " he added, "including jobs, energy and peace. It is u rgent that we train more men and women with a broad, working knowledge of the dyna mics of other cultu res. This is a matter of citizenship education, because our youth need global perspectives and skills to fun ction effectively and responsi bly as citi­ zens of a nation increasingly de­ . pendent on the rest of the world."

" Norma n a nd Karen Knudsen, the other award winn ers, were nominated by their son Steve, a PLU sophomore.

As is true a m ong oth er u n iversi­ ty constitu encies, a dedicated, active a l u m n i g roup can play an i m porta nt role i n attracting both prospective students a n d fi n a n cial support for the u n iversity.

Exa mp les of helpful a n d effec­ tive activities might in clude: • referral of names and addres­ ses of minority student prospects to the PLU Office of Adm issions; • service as advisors to m i n ority student org a n izations; • develop ment of em ployment internships for PLU minority stu ­ dents; • sponsorship of fund raisers for mi nority stu dent scholarships; or • donations to the existing BERG scholarship prog ram , which pro­ vides supplem ental assistance to min ority students. Its intent is to pick up where the Financial Aid Office leaves off.

The fou r - point BERG prog ram i ncludes a book fu nd, emergency fund, restricted minority scho lar­ s h i ps a n d a genera l minority grant fu n d . BERG does not promise fu l l a ssistance, b u t does i nten d to expa n d the outreach of existing fi nancial aid prog ra ms by easi ng some of the financial d ifficulties encou ntered by m i n o rity stu ­ dents.

Any of these options wo uld support efforts to i n c rease diver­ sity at PLU. Mi nority e n roll ment has increased steadily the past three yea rs, but the current fig u re of 1 82 is significantly below a high of 245 in 1 97 5 .

During Black A wareness Week

Economic Script Not Working. H atcher Tells PLU Audience

By Lise Voss

"Twenty-six people witnessed the stabbing of Kitty Genovese and nobody lifted a finger to hel p.

Now there's another lady u nder attack; her name is Lady Liberty.

Using the budget cutter's axe, the attackers are chopping away at her life blood . Will we simply stand by a nd watch in silence while her life is destroyed ? " This was the challenge issued by Mayor Richard Gordon Hatcher of Gary, I nd . , Feb. 26 to an audience of over 400 people at Pacific Luthera n University. PLU Provost Dr. Richard Jungkuntz called it "a climatic event in a day of signific­ ant events . " T h e sig nificant events, a full day of s peec hes, wo rks hops, and press conferences on campus, marked PLU's observance of Black Awareness week.

Mayor Hatcher's attendance at the conference was sponsored by the campus g roup BANTU (Black Allia nce Throug h Unity) and a nu mber of independent sponsors from the commu nity.

The su bject of the enti re con­ ference was " S u rv i v i n g t h e Economics of the '80's," a topic on which Mayor Hatc h e r has much to say. In his 12 years as mayor of Gary he has worked to h el p h i s city su rvive difficu lt economic times . He described his efforts to combat corruption and put large quantities of money into low income housing and education. The second black man to serve as mayor for a large metropolitan city, like Gary, he p resently serves as chairman of

the United States Conference of Mayors.

Mayor Hatcher is concerned ab­ out economic trends throug hout the government a nd also sees the present as "one of the most critical times in the history of our cou ntry for the struggle for equal­ ity of black people " Throughout his address the mayor emphasized the need for an u nderstanding of what's going on and equal need f o r the prepa ration a nd en­ thusiasm to act.

Hatcher pointed out that it seems almost u npatriotic to strike out because the government has "effectively clothed proposals in common sense a nd good old traditional values . " However, he says, "I believe that many people are beginning to feel that the script (written for economic re­ covery) is not working . It is overly optimistic and gives i nadequate consideration to the realities of life." Hatcher feels that the people of the United states may lose those things most precious to them .

The mayor asserted that several myths have formed the principal rationale for cuts in government spending and are actually a faulty basis for sound economic policy. . The myths that Hatcher states include these: that federal spend­ ing is out of control, that this spending is the chief cause of inflation, that big government has nothing to do with the people, and that the big social programs of the '60's and 70's have failed because we were just throwing money at the problems.

The budget plan of the present government was lauded as a cure­ all for America's ills; Hatcher feels

that disillusionment is an eventu ­ ality.

M ayor H atcher deplores the shift from domestic to military concern; according to him we a re draining resources needed to i m ­ prove the quality of life for all. He called defense spending "wasteful a nd dangerous" a nd he states emphatically that "the h u m a n race and the arms race can not coexist. " For Hatcher, disarma­ ment must be our u ltimate goal.

Hatcher fu rther believes that our expenditu res on a rms have alienated us from much of the rest of the world as we grow self­ im porta nt. Our support of policies in other countries, like South Afri­ ca and Nigeria, does not always reflect the values we espouse. As Chairman of the Board of Tra nsAf­ rica , a n Africa n affa irs lobby, Hatcher works for the rights of black South Africa ns.

The National Black Political Con­ vention served as the catalyst for change. Though the issues are different, Hatcher is hopeful that this year's conference, to be held in July, will be equally productive.

He feels that one of their biggest tasks this year is " how to put together an economic strategy to a l low b lack people to su rvive Reag a no m i cs . " O n e c o n ce p t u nder consideration i s that of a Black Common Market between cities.

Workshop Presents E ngi neering Career Option To Minority youth An April eng ineering workshop, "Why Not Engineering? - An Orientation to Engineering As A Ca reer, " was jointly sponsored by the Pacific Lutheran U niversity and The Marine Systems Operation Plant of Honeywell - Seattle.

The workshop which included a morning session at Honeywell S hi lshole and the afternoon at PLU provided 23 minority h ig h school juniors from eight Pierce Cou nty schools with "a critical first hand look at engineering in .the work­ place; a detailed orientation to a specific college engineering cur­ riculum; and an opportunity to talk with practici ng engineers, en­ gineering faculty and cu rrently enrolled engineering students," according to project director Phil­ lip M i ner.

M iner, PLU associate dean of admissions, and a uthor of the s uccessf u l ly fu nded workshop proposal, stated, "This joint ef­ fort is an attempt to encourage

black and other minority youth to seriously pursue careers i n e n g i n eering o r other related math and science professions ."

Mary Barnes, a Honeywell Per­ sonnel Administrator and Coor­ di nator of the Honeywell portion of the workshop, lauded the pro­ ject as "an excellent investment in the future for Honeywell, the mi nority comm u n ity, a n d the general society at large."

The project proposal calls for key PLU engineering faculty/ad­ m issions office personnel to con ­ tinue contact with the student participants. "We plan to monitor and assist the student's course selection d uring their senior year in h igh school," stated Dr. Roy Clark, engi neering faculty PLU a nd a p roject presentor. "Admissions personnel will assist the youths with the mechanics of applying for ad missions and financial aid to the col leges of their choice," he - noted .

Wa llstrom Fund Boosts Heritage Studies At PLU The J . Hjalmer Wallstrom Memo­ rial Fund has been established at Pacific Lutheran U niversity to as­ sist in developing the Sca ndinavian Immigrant Experience Collection at Mortvedt Libra ry on campus.

The i nitial $2, 500 donated by Rev. Royal F. Peterson of Li ncoln Nebr., memorializes the late J .

Hjalmer Wallstrom of Seattle, who funded the translation and publi­ c a tion of works by Swed ish theologian Carl a . Rosenius during the 70's. The books, Daily Medita­ tions a nd Romans: A Devotional Commentary, were translated by J . El mer Dahlgren of Riverside, Calif, and edited by Peterson.

Earnings from the fund will be used to collect, preserve, publish and reproduce materials for the PLU collection, with priority g iven to religious heritage of Scandina­ v i a n i m m i g ra n ts or f u rther Rosenius projects.

As Scene went to press, the ca mpaign , i ntended to honor PLU biology professor emeritus Dr. Harold (Hadd) Leraas, had passed the $260,000 mark.

Purpose of the drive, according to ca mpaign di rector Luther Be­ kemeier, is to i nvite physicia ns a nd dentists who received their bac­ calau reate tra i n i n g at PLU to u nderwrite the cost of the lecture hall.

Approximately one-third of the a nticipated contacts have yet to be made, Bekemeier indicated .

The special solicitation will con­ tinue through mid-summer, with Dr. William 0. Rieke

some 30 volu nteers from among P L U ' s p hysicia n/dentist alumni community partici pating, he said.

Success of the project is expect­ ed to p rovide the additiona l fu nds which will assure an early 1 983 science building groundbreaking, Bekemeier observed .

M ea nw h i le, the D i v i s i o n of Natural Sciences faculty and PLU admin istrators are working closely with architects to finalize plans for the proposed facility. At its April meeti ng the PLU Board of Regents exam ined a phase one model presented by the Portland, are , a rchitectu ral firm of Broome, Ori ngdolph, O'Toole, Rudolf and Associates.

The Leraas p roject offered donors the opportunity to join PLU ' s College of Scientists at giv­ ing levels of $20,000 ( Masters), $1 0,000 (Fellows) and $5,000 (As­ sociates). To date the College has 35 members, rep rese nti ng a l l three levels, with a n additional 36 donors also pledged to su pport the project PLU President Dr. William a .

Rieke, a former Leraas student a nd member of the medical com mun­ ity, served as honora ry chairman and played a n active role in the effort. He inspired the drive with his own enroll ment in the college at the Master's level .

Campaign co-chairpersons are Dr. Donald Keith '54 of Seattle, Dr. Jon Kvinsland '63 of Gig Harbor, and Dr. Roy Schwarz '59 of Denver, Colo. Other alumni spearheading the project a re Dr. Jeff Probstfield ' 63 of Houston, Tex., Dr. Christy Ulleland '63 of Seattle, and Dr. Roy Virak '52 of Tacoma .

Professor Leraas was vital i n the development of PLU's highly re­ spected pre-med and pre-dental

prog ra ms. After originally joi ning the PLU faculty in 1 935, he took time out to com pl ete dental school in the early '40's, then returned to Pacific Lutheran to teach u ntil his retirement in 1 973.

"Dr. Leraas had a sig nifica nt effect on many lives a nd, in my own case, I would undoubtedly not have gone on to medical school had it not been for the cha l l e n g e a n d encouragement ' Hadd' provided . " Rieke said.

PLU At Top Of Luth . Brotherhood Matching List The Lutheran Brotherhood I M ­ PACT prog ra m awarded $89 , 1 07 i n matching gifts t o Pacific Lutheran U n iversity last year, the most awarded to a ny school , according to the fraternal benefit society's most recent an nual report.

The I M PACT program matches the first $ 1 00 of gifts by members to colleges a nd u niversities. The report i ndicated that 70 i nstitu ­ tions across the cou ntry made special efforts to reach LB memb­ ers who were eligible to have their donations matched .

PLU President Dr. William a Rieke explained that si nce I M PACT funds a re u nrestricted, PLU uses them "for scholarship aid, curricu­ lar and academ ic prog ram adv­ a ncement, for operati o n s , f o r capita l pu rposes, a n d indirectly, to mini mize tuition i ncreases.

"The LB I M PACT progra m is i mportant to our solicitation ef­ forts, " he added . "By doubling the first $100 of members' gifts, it motivates donors and helps to trigger new gifts "

" Ma ny students who take ad­ vantage of Middle College are ca pable of doing univerSity-level work, but for some reason did not meet the usual 'criteria in high school. " she said. " Perhaps their g . p.a 's or SAT scores were too low, for any number of reasons. " Middle college gives them a ' second chance' at college," she

S u m mer Chora l Works hop To Be Held at PLU A Choral Workshop for school, ch u rch a nd commun ity musicians will be held at Pacific Luthera n U niversity Aug . 2-6.

Devoted to choral literature and conducting tech niques, the work­ shop will featu re a faculty of nine choral experts from across the country.

They a re Weston Noble, con ­ dUctor of the N ordic Choir at Lutheran College in Decorah , la.; B . R . Hensen, a renaissance music schola r from Texas; Phil Mattson, director of choral m usic at Gonza­ ga Un iversity; Cha rles Hausma n , professor o f chu rch music at Western Kentucky U niversity; a nd Gene Buerling, a choral a rranger a nd conductor from California . others a re Mau rice Skones, di­ rector of the PLU Choir of the West; James Taylor, junior high school choral specialist from Bel­ levue, Was h . ; Richard Nace, this past year's d i rector of the PLU Chorale and choral director at Rogers High School in Puyallup, Was h . ; and Sam Smith, professor e me ritus of voice at Eastern Washington U niversity.

Fu rther information is available from the PLU Department of Music.

added . other students may be pla nning college but are aware of a need to brush u p on basic skills to succeed, Carr indicated .

A third group i ncludes college u nderclass students who have encou ntered difficulties because of deficiencies in basic skills.

Carr explained that PLU's M iddle College h its hard at writing skills, mathematics and study skills, plus reviews in history, biology, sociol­ ogy and other a reas.

A key to its success, she believes, is the ratio of teachers and tutors to students. Last year the p rogram provided 13 instructors for 35 students . " I n a d d ition to s ha rpen i ng learning skills to better compete in college, students get a preview of their future educational experi­ ences and a chance to examine their future goals through an intensive counseling and testing prog ra m , " Carr said.

Jon McGlothan of Seattle was a M iddle College student last sum­ mer. When he en rolled he had been having difficu lty with com­ munity college studies . He has been en rolled at PLU this past year and is doing honor level work.

Sherry Zeiler of Puyallup was a good high school student but was apprehensive about col lege. In Middle College she honed her basic skills a nd is now also a successful u niversity student Herb Becker of Enumclaw was a l ready enrolled in a university pre-med prog ram, but wa nted to do more than acceptable work; he wa nted to excel . He enrolled in Middle College to assure hi mself that his skills were up to par.

"Not all of the students we serve have special needs," Carr poi nted out. "Because of the individualized natu re of the prog­ ram, we ca n also deal with stu­ dents who a re already strong students, but want to get a head start on their college career."

Carr estimated that approxi­ mately 80 percent of M iddle Col­ lege students significantly i m ­ prove their college potential. "In so many cases it's a matter of individual attention on the part of the teachers or tutors and serious­ ness on the part of the students," she said, then added, "When they reach this point and their future is at stake, they a re seriou s .

March Trip To Asia U nderscores Com mit ment To I nternational Education And To PLU Constituencies A n intensive three-week trip to Asia during which several cou ntries were visited has already begun to bring results. From March 8th through the 27th, Mrs. Rieke a nd I visited u niversities, churches, businesses, alumni. parents and friends in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwa n and HawaiL We were preceded in Hong Kong and Taipei by Dr. K. T. Tang, professor of physics at Pacific Lutheran U niversity, and in Tokyo by M rs. Lucille Giroux, my executive associate. I a mgrateful for their help, as well as that of faculty, current students, regents, and others for many advance contacts which opened doors for us.

The general pu rpose of the trip was to establish a P LU presence i n these countries, and to underscore our commitment to i nternational education. Specific objectives included the recruitment of selected stu­ dents; establish ment of an Alu mni Chapter in Hong Kong; conferral of Distingu ished Ser­ vice Awards on two internationally respected leaders in the Lutheran Church; i nitiation of contacts with business, educational and church leaders; exploration of possibilities for student/faculty exchange and study opportu nities in various universities; solicita­ tion of funds and cultivation of future donors. In addition, I preached two succes­ sive Su ndays at p ro m i n e n t L u t h e r a n churches i n Hong Kong and Taipei, greatly enjoying the youth and vitality of the congregations.

In Tokyo, I was pleased to visit the offices of the Y MCA, headquarters for Japan's Intensive English Language Institute. A branch of the I . E . U is situated within a block of the PLU campus, and we have enjoyed close working relationsh i ps for several years. This summer, the I nstitute will bring to the campu s 76 potential college or u niversity students for four-week sessions to i mprove their com­ munication skills in the English lang uage.

The International School, as well as major Lutheran churches and seminaries also were visited in Tokyo. With the help of local friends, we enjoyed a special evening with alumni and parents.

Although o u r time was very limited, we had an i mpressive condensed history of Japan's feudal era and current economy from the David Baskervilles. Mr. Baskerville is head of the Weyerhaeuser South Asia enterprises.

Our orientation and perspective for the remainder of the trip were g reatly enha nced through his assistance.

A week-long stay i n Hong Kong provided occasion for multiple visits with several private secondary schools, the Chinese U n­ iversity of Hong Kong, and the Lutheran International School, resulting in a new understanding of the quality and demands of the academic programs. Expectations of the student are rigorous and high . The major part of a student's life, in or out of the classroom, is devoted to learning . Severe adaptations in methods of study and performance accom­ pany the cultural adaptations which foreign students make in entering the American educational system . Dr. Tang remained in Hong Kong, successfully recruiting several students for 1 982-83 academic year, and laying the foundation for what we hope will be continuing flow of Hong Kong students to the Pacific Lutheran U niversity campus.

An enthusiastic group of a bout 40 alumni

met on March 1 3, elected officers and eagerly ag reed to assist in subsequent recruitment and other programs. Before we left. the newly organized g roup had located several more alu ms, and had prepared and circulated a directory of names, addresses and telephone numbe rs. Willy Tsao ('77) is the first president of the Hong Kong Chapter.

Willy is owner/director of Rainbow Textiles (Moldings) Ltd. and the City Contemporary Dance Co. , Ltd . Elected as vice president was Marilyn Mah Su (75); and Miranda Lau Lo (74) ag reed to serve as secretary.

I was delig hted to learn of the talents and successes of our young alumnL They are very much an i nfluential part of the burgeoning free enterprise system of H ong Kong which in turn impacts m uch of the entire Far East.

This energetic and well-organized alumni group represents some of the fi nest ambas­ sadors for the U niversity, and I am confident that much mutual benefit will result from our strengthened associations.

It was a great honor to confer our Distinguished Service Awards u pon Dr. An­ drew Hsiao, president of Lutheran Theologic­ al Seminary of Hong Kong and vice president of the Lutheran World Federation, and Dr. Herbert Schaefer, retired missionary and professor at the Seminary, and an active staff member of LW. F. About 1 20 persons attend­ ed the banquet ceremony, including g uests from Taiwan, Switzerland, Germany, England and Fi nland. A major side benefit was the bringing together of the many different Lutheran groups (different by virtue of ethnic background and/or synod in the Hong Kong area .) (See related stories and photos in this issue.)

Our first nig ht in the city gave us an i ntroduction to the superb and matchless Chinese cuisine. We were quite u nprepared, however, for the exquisite tables which were set before us at every occasion. These banquets hosted by businessmen, by pa ­ rents, by friends provided acquaintances and friendships that can open doors to funds and students there, plus i mportant educational contacts via business and political connec­ tions locally and, perhaps in the future, in the People's Republic of China.

Dr. William 0. Rieke

It was somehow fitti ng that our last morning in Hong Kong would be spent at the Lutheran Theological Seminary, that onceremote fortress, fou nded when our own institution began, whose peaceful setting soon will be swallowed up by prog ress in the form of apartment housing and a superhighway. We reached the com plex by way of a footpath, the sole access, and were met at . the arched gateway by all of the students, teachers, administrators and workers. Greetings and the traditional tea were followed by Chapel, at which I was privileged to speak. It was a particular honor to visit with Dr. Wu Ming-Chieh in the school where he served as president and where he continues to teach.

We were i mpressed by the excellence of the academic prog ram , and the comprehensive collection i n their fi ne library The social climate changed noticably u pon entrance into Taiwan . Where the headlines and front pages of newspapers in Tokyo and Hong Kong had been filled almost exclusively with trade and business news, in Taipei the military presence was predomi nant. We felt very keenly the stress u nder which the people and the government carry out their daily tasks.

We spent a p rofitable and i nteresting day at Tunghai U niversity in Taichung. The presi dent of that i nstitution and his wife graciously opened their home to us, a llowing us to meet several of their officers and professors.

Taiwanese u nderg raduate students are compelled u nder Taiwan regulations to study in their own cou ntry, but many go to America, Canada and Europe for their graduate work.

In Taich u n g , too, we visited Morrison Academy; three American students from there a re enrolled as freshman at PLU for the fall term.

As g uests of the Minister of Education of Taiwan , we had briefings and tours of the N at i o n a l Ta iwa n U n iversity ' and Medical School . Facilities and equipment were very good . Later in the day we visited a private hospital, Chang Gung Memorial , on the outskirts of the C ity . More modern, it had excellent services. Medical care is socialized i n the country, allowing costs to be unbelieva bly low, but the need is so great that only a small percentage of those needing care can get i nto the hospitals. In both Tunghai and the National Taiwa n U niversities, g reat interest was expressed in our faculty spendi ng sabbaticals at these institutions.

Following worship at the Truth Lutheran Church , at which I gave the sermon and Dr. Tang translated i nto Mandarin, P.L, U , hosted a dinner for the leadership of various Taiwa n Lutheran synods. Religions of all denomina­ tions and kinds a re gaining strength as old values are questioned i n the volatile political and societal dynamics of that fiercely deter­ mined country.

A brief report cannot possibly cover even the most noteworthy elements of a full and rewarding schedule. It can provide only a flavor. I a m most grateful for the extraordi­ nary experience and education provided by such a trip . It opens many options that will be explored and cultivated . The opportunities for service are al most limitless, I am confident Pacific Lutheran University will continue to reach outward to the Asian countries as a result of our many positive contacts,

1 1 th Annual Q Club Ba nquet Features Ga rdner Add ress Parent Survey Reveals Strong Support Of PLU Goals, Prog ra ms

By Milt Nesvig Vice President Emeritus

Pacific Luthera n Unive rsity consta ntly strives to mainta in a nd strengthen its goa l: to provide quality education in a Christian context. To determine if this goal is being realized the University is constantly looki ng at itself. One method is to try to determine how its constituency feels about the school .

This school yea r the Parents Club cond uct­ ed a ' Pa rents Opi nion Survey, Questionnaires were mailed to 2700 homes of PLU students in the U S and to 80 i n other cou ntries, When this was written, responses had been re­ ceived from 465 persons in 34 states and six countries, It was evident that much care and time was expended by parents in filling out the questionnaires, Many of them added val u ­ able comments and suggestions, These statements have been sent on to the academic or administrative units involved .

Pa rents strongly endorse the U niversity's stance on education, Their child was at PLU beca use of its academic offerings was the response of 92 .5 per cent. and 87 per cent said their child came because of its C hristian comm itment. i Asked to compare the present emphasis to what they think it should be, 86 per cent said the liberal arts emphasis is okay as is. On the other hand, 64 per cent said professional training is OK as is, but 34,7 per cent feel there should be a g reater emphasis. Honors prog­ rams got a 79,1 OK and i ndepende nt study got 82 , 1 , Pre-professional offerings got 64, 2 : O K a n d foreign study opportunities 71 per cent.

Seventy-two per cent feel PLU offers an adequate range of academic progra ms, High priority should be given to the development of p ro f e s s i o n a l g ra d u ate a n d u nd e r­ graduate programs according to 81 per cent of those questioned , Forty-seven per cent favored the development of occu pational progra ms, When it comes to its Christian emphasis 90 per cent said the school should maintain its identity as a Luthera n institution. Over 92 per cent felt com m itment to Christian principles should be a factor i n choosing faculty and staff. Ninety per cent favored requi red courses in religion .

Pierce Cou nty Executive Booth Gardner spoke to a crowd of over 450 Q Club members and guests at the 1 1 th Annual Q Club Ba nquet May 8, Gardner commended the PLU Q Club for its crucial role in supporting quality ed ucation in the private sector, In a n era where government is expected to do more with less, Gardner noted, places like PLU must i ncrease their sou rces of private support if they a re to continue to grow i n quality, Gardner's message echoed the com­ ments of President Rieke who encouraged ba nquet g uests to make higher education a priority in their giving.

I m po rtance Of Wills Overlooked By Seven Of 1 0 U .S. Ad ults

By Edgar Larson Director Of Planned Giving

Who Needs a Will?

If you looked at national statistics, where seven out of ten adults do not have a will, you mig ht think that most people feel that they do not need a will . Not only that, but of those people who do have wills, eight out of ten do not have them written to provide the maxim u m benefits for themselves and thei r heirs , What i s s o important about having a will?

Here are a few reasons: 1 . You can choose the Personal Represen­ tative (executor, executrix) to handle the settling of you r estate.

2. You ca n desig nate where you wa nt specific personal effects to go.

3 . You can leave instructions for your funeral. how you want things handled.

4. You ca n appoi nt. if there are minor children, someone whom you would wa ntto be their guardia n i n the event of the death of both parents 5 . You can establish trusts, if necessary, either for tax savings or for ma nagement pu rposes.

6 . You can make bequests to places like your church, a favorite cha rity, or a place like Pacific Lutheran University.

Without a will, the State will determine how your estate will be settled and distributed .

With a will, you have the opportunity to decide the outcome of you r estate.

While reading a book the other day, steps on the stairway, by Ralph Ransom, I was re m inded why it is that the U n iversity has become a truly great U n iversity. It is because so many of ou r a l u m n i have lea rned t h e a rt o f g ivi n g . I a m not ta lking o f just fi na ncial sup­ port, but total giving of them­ selves.

Why is there a special blessin g in givin g ? Why do we actually have to g ive befo re we a re ready to receive?

How deeply is it i n g ra ined in most of us that the more you gather to yourself and the less you share, the richer you will become.

Many people feel this way. But, for true bless i n g s , for true success, for true e n ri c h m e nt, you must give. You must give of your time, you r talent, and you r wealth; the day you stop giving, on that day you stop e n rich i ng you rself. When you stop giving everyth ing you acq u i re and accu m u late, i nstead of enriching you , wil l beg i n to drag you dow n .

The concept " It i s better to give than to receive, " is a very h a rd one to unde rsta nd a nd practice, but it is one of the essential items i n any system of true self-development Great people don't just en rich themselves, they enrich as many people as their talent. time a nd materia l blessings a l l ow .

After a memorable boat ride, the Lutes tracked down the schools, then netted everything in sight PLU's l i g htwe i g h t BOATS men's four, nearly swam ped by the referee's launch at the 1 981 Western Sprints, evened the score by leaving five shells in their wake at long Beach, California. Com­ pleting a sweep of Pac - 1 0 boats during the rowing season, PlU posted its first Marine Stadium t r i u m p h s i n ce the PLU heavyweight four won the 1 970 sprints.

In men's track, TRACKING junior Neil Weaver made a 1 71 -1 0 i mpression with his hammer, a school record, during the regular season. Weaver went on to win the district and placed ninth at nation­ als. District decathlon champion Paul Menter, a sophomore, was ninth at the NAIA championships.

Th ree Lute freshmen made a sweep of conference and district laurels, with PLU placing fourth as a team in both meets. Kris Rocke's 48.8 was the best Lute 400- meter mark in a decade. Mike Heelan hit a personal best 209-2 in the javelin, while Leroy Walters hoisted the shot 53-4. While Dianne Johnson and Kristy Purdy were nationally prominent in women's track (see related feature), others shared in the spike success story.

PLU Th ree- port All -Am erica n May Be Nation 's First

By Jim Kitti lsby

-

It would be safe to assume that mathematics major Dianne Joh n ­ son 's favorite upper division class is topology, since she is not only conversant in geometric config­ u ra t i o n t h e o ry , s h e m ove s through circuitous courses with dispatch.

Johnson, who strolled through the commencement line May 23 to cla i m her PLU diploma, spent m uch of the recent school year on her feet, waiting to pick up parch­ ment. Following the May 20-22 AIAW Division III track a nd field meet, she completed her collec­ tion , possibly the largest in the history of women 's collegiate ath­ letics, A product of Tacoma's Lakes H igh School. Johnson joined the elite, if not flat-out unique ranks, by earning four All-America certifi­ cates, in three sports, since last November.

Two of her sterling perform­ a nces occu rred in the Gem State.

Fourth last fall at AIAW cross cou n try nationals in Pocatello, Dianne returned to Idaho in M a rch and p laced fourth in n ordic com­ petition at the National Collegiate Ski Association meet. staged at Brundage Mounta i n , near McCall.

Track, her final test for a triple scroll, proved to be more than a single success story, N i nth in the 1 0,000 meter run at 1 981 nation31s, Dian ne cruised to a fourth place finish May 21 in Bloomsbu rg, Pa, Not resting on the fait accom­ pli, she toured the 5000 in fifth place time the following day, AII­ America citations are reserved for the top six, sports scriveners were caught w ith their press passes down when q ueried a bout three-sport all-Americans, "We can't put our finger on another athlete i n mod­ ern times to triple at the AII­ America plateau," said Tacoma News Tribu ne sports editor Ted Pearson, after polling his staff, N oted sports historian John McCallum, presently working on his 34th book, " Pac-1 0 Football," doesn't know of a matching feat.

"It's a giant recogn ition step for women's athletics and a tribute to Pacific Lutheran U niversity," he said , Johnson's achievement star is given added illumination by a 3 .7 g rade point average, Named co­ winner of the Woman of the Year in Sports award, Dianne also pack­ ed home the George Fisher Scho­ la r-At h l ete plaque this spring, She's listed in Who's Who in American Colleges and Univer­ sities. dimmed had Bloomsbu rg deli­ vered a doomsburg blow to her three-sport goa l .

and cross country coach Brad Moore. "She's had a tremendous i nfluence on our young squad and was the team's spiritua l leader, " U nanimous choice for captai n in both cross cou ntry and track as a senior, Johnson had quite a n adjustment to make a s a j u n ior, Fall of 1 980 marked the arrival of K risty Pu rdy, who quickly de­ veloped i nto one of the nation's d ista nce d a n d i es . W ith Purdy came a strong supporting cast of swift runners. Heretofore number one, Dia n ne was no longer the c l ea r -cut p r i m a ru n na . " S h e couldn't make a s much of a personal contribution as a junior," added M oore, "because she h<3d never had the experience of train­ i ng with people of her ability." " Dian ne developed as a person and performer from the chal­ lenges," he continued. "Picking up with the flow of the new team mates, she removed p re­ ssure from herself by establishing personal best goals and running consistently at pace, not worrying about her position in the pack," Purdy finished a notch behind Dianne at the 1 981 national cross cou ntry summit, but blossomed in the spring (see related photo) to beco me P L U ' s fi rst n a t i o n a l champion i n any women's sport.

Entered in the same races as Johnson, 'Purdy won the 1 0,000 and placed second i n the 5000.

Not only fast on her feet, Purdy was equally quick to praise her college roommate, "Dianne has been a big ' inspiration to me. It hasn't been like a rivalry, because she was always there to boost me on," she said. " I came to PLU because of the running prog ram," said Dianne, who speaks highly of coach M oore

a nd his predecessor, Carol Auping , Ski coach Dan Dole was another beneficiary of Johnson's talents, "Dianne is strong-willed and has a sparky personality. She a p plied that will to her skiing, where she was a quiet leader, " he observed.

Dan Johnson, her older brother, is a 1 981 U niversity of Puget Sound g raduate and placed sixth in NCSA cross country skiing as both a junior and senior, ''I've been on cross country skis since I was about ten years old, but , didn't ski competitively until I was a PLU sophomore, Diane said, "I figured that if my brother could be a national finisher, I should give the sport a try, since I was the better ru n ner," The transition from cross cou n -

try run ni ng to nordic ski i ng was no problem, since there is a gap between seasons, It was a little different from skiing to track, because the sports overlap by a month . "Brad (Moore) was very cooperative and tailored my run­ ning workouts to be compatible with skiing," Diane cont i n u ed .

"Perhaps the biggest adjustment I had to make i n track was to shake the habit of taking long floating strides, w hich are required in the nordic snow sport," She concluded, " people wonder how I was able to handle the time dema nds of three sports, but I fou nd that I could manage time better with a lot to do, As I look back, I see that my g rades match­ ed my running level."

The new comm un i y role was assu red Sept. 1 4 when the Fran klin Pierce School District boa rd a u ­ thorized a lease agreement with P LU F ranklin Pierce Superintendent Dr. Richard Ha rris expressed p'l ea­ sure with the agreement, noting that the PLU cam pus fu nctions assig ned space in Parkla nd School to date will provide benefits to the s u r ro u n d i n g P a r k l a n d c o m ­ mUn ity.

I n addition, parts of the facility will conti nue to be available for com m u n ity use, as they have been . u nder district operation , he i ndicated .

PLU President Dr. William O. Rieke explained that the four cam pus u nits presently assigned space in the school building will be actively involved in com m u n ity­ related projects .

Relocati ng those u n its at Park­ land School at PLU , its "East Cam­ pus," accelerates the university's timetable to open a center which will address health and education ­ al needs o f a rea children, he i ndicated . Services will be admi nis­ tered by the PLU Center for H u ­ man Organization i n Changing Environments (CHOICE), which has functioned as a PLU com m u nity service arm since 1 969 u nder the direction of Dr. Robert Menzel .

Lin ked to neig h borhood child care facilities, the center will pro­ vide child assessment services, fa mily counsel ing and fa mily life education . A nu mber of health promotion activities em phasizing exercise, stress reduction and d iet are also plan ned, according to Menzel .

Another i ntegral part of the center will be a " neigh borhood networki ng " ca pability, which will e n a b l e t r o u b l e d c o m m u n i ty fa m i l ies to use natural helpi ng re la t i ons i ps a mong neighbors and friends as well as to fi nd a p p ropri ate p rofessi o n a l a n d com mu nity resou rces , he added .

'The plan ned center will d raw heavily on the resources of PLU s pec i a l education, social work, n u rsing and physica l ed ucation fac u lty and students , " Menzel poi nted out.

Services to special needs chil­ dren will be offered at Parkla nd School by faculty and students in the PLU Special Ed ucation prog­ ram , an a rm of the School of Education . According to School of Educati on Dean Dr. Ken n eth John­ ston . ' The program supervised

" A ma rriage a nd fa mily counsel­ ing clinic will be provided by the Department of Social Work, under the di rection of Dr. William Gil bert­ son . Gilbertson explained that the cl i n ic will be part of the depart­ ment's g raduate program i n mar­ riage and fa mily counseling. It will offer counseling services on a sliding scale based on fa mily i n ­ come, thus becoming accessible to cl ients who otherwise may not be a ble to afford professional help R ieke i n dicated that studies are underway to assess usage pos­ sibil ities for other portions of the 47 ,000-square foot school faCility .

For exa mple, Dr. David Olson , dean of the School of Physical Ed u ca ­ tion , i s looking a t possi ble com ­ m u nity uses of the sellool gym ­ nasi u m T h e feasibility of a com m u nity family-child center i the Parkla nd area has been studied at PlU for the past year. A team of some 20 faculty members, headed by Men­ zel, have ide tifled needs and plan ned elements of a program to serve co m m u n ity needs. The study was funded by a H U D grant through the Pierce Cou nty Office of Community Development, as part of a n effort to i mplement the C o u nty and H u ma n S e rv i c e s facilities plan .

County pla n n i ng officials have rated the Pa rkland area as "grossly u nderserved " in terms o f fam i ly services, a condition worsened by cutbacks in funding of human services a nd exacerbated by one

of the hig hest unemployment rates in the nation, accord i ng to Menzel .

Rieke explai ned that the five­ year lease helps ease a severe s pace p ro b l e m o n c a m p u s , brought about by g rowth i n e n ­ rollment a nd prog rams a t PLU over the past several yea rs . Withi n five years, however, P L U a ntici­ pates construction of two major new ca mpus buildings, a science facility and a perform ing a rts cent-

New Deg ree Offeri ngs Reflect Ra pid G rowth Of Spec ia l Ed uc ation Prog ra m s

By Jim Peterso n

A new major, a new m i nor a nd a new master's deg ree i n specia l education are being offered at Pacific Lutheran U n iversity this fa l l .

Annou nced by D r . K e n neth Joh nston, dean of the PLU School of Ed ucation, the new programs reflect a g row i ng demand wh ich produced a 400 percent i ncrease in PLU special ed cou rse enroll­ ment during the past two years.

T h e g r ow t h , d e s c ri bed a s "phenomenal" by N i les Wuster­ ba rth of the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruc­ tion 's office, ca n be attributed, in part, to the readi ness of the PLU prog ram at the ti me of the pas­ sage of The Education For All H andicapped Children Act ( PL 941 42) in 1 980, according to John­ ston .

PL 94- 1 42 req u i res that every h a n d i c a pped child receive the special education and related ser­ vices necessary to reach his or her full potential.

"A fundamental step i n the provision of such services is the preparation of necessary perso n ­ nel , " said Dr. Kent Gerlach, who joi ned the PLU education faculty two years ago and now d i rects the special ed program "The law i m mediately created a critical shortage of special ed teachers, regular teache rs with special ed skills, and n u merous other kinds of specialists , " Gerlach added .

Though a PLU special ed prog­ ram was i n place prior to 1 980, the i ncreased demand req uired major alterations and has also resulted in the addition of two new full -time special ed faculty membe rs. Fol­ lowing a site visit to PLU last spring, Wusterbarth noted i n his report, "All State Board of Education and OSPI criteria a re met exceeded, or are undergoing developme nt. " He added, "No other n ew spe­ cial ed prog ra m in recent memory has attained the level of credibility and support that PLU's has in the State of Wash i ngto n . " A further boost to the prog ­ ra m's reputation was the recent award of a three-year, $1 20,000

Dea n 's G ra nt by the U .S . Office of Education Bureau of Education for the Handica pped PLU was one of 1 0 i n stitutions fun ded out of 1 84 appl icants; it has one of only two funded projects west of the Rock­ ies; and is the only private un iversi­ ty fu nded for 1 982-83.

The g rant will make possible revisions in the underg rad uate teacher education program to better prepare students to teach in "mainstrea m " classrooms, ac­ cord i ng to Gerlach . Dubbed " Pro­ ject Redesig n " within the School, the project antici pates the even­ tual redesign of the teacher ed u ­ cation program a t PLU s o that all r e g u l a r e d u c a t i o n m et h o d s courses provide mai n strea m i n g competencies.

'Initial efforts will focus on facul­ ty development awareness, Ger­ lach poi nted out.

Special education credit hou rs in the PLU School of Education ra ng­ ed from six to eight percent of the School's tota l prior to passage of PL 94- 1 42 . Two years ago they represented 1 6 percent; last year it was 22 percent.

The n u m ber of enrollments i n special e d cou rses was 9 2 three years ago. Last year it had i n ­ creased to 479.

Gerlach noted that the nation's colleges a n d u niversities have been a ble to train only one-th i rd of the 60,000 special ed teachers needed for the 1 982 -83 school yea r. At PLU this factor resulted in 1 00 percent employment for '82 g rad uates in special education.

Not only has special ed i m pact­ ed the ca mpus academic prog ­ ra m, the School of Ed ucation's contin uing education prog ram for teachers more than dou bled last yea r in both n u m bers of courses and enrollees. About 50 percent of the courses were on special ed topics. They were offered in con­ junction with va rious school dis­ tri cts a n d other co m m u n i t y facilities.

Withi n recent days the PLU special ed faculty was i nformed that both classroom and office space wou ld be availa ble i n Pa rk­ land School. just leased by PLU from the Franklin Pierce School District.

As a res ult, Gerlach indicated, students will have i ncreased di rect exposure with special needs stu­ dents and fa mi lies as the prog ra m d evelops a g reater student assess­ ment ca pabil ity in cooperation with local school districts.

"It vastly increases our capa bil ity to be of di rect service to the com m u n ity and will add an extra d i mension to our students' ed u ­ cation," Gerlach said .

Thriving state Work Study Program At PLU Rates 41 % Crant Increase

When David Grem mels enters law school a year from now, he wlll a l ready have a broad, fi rst- hand knowledge of the Pierce Cou nty prosecutor's office, perhaps riva l ­ ing m a n y practicing attorneys.

G remmels, a Pacific Lutheran U n iversity senior from Olympia, has worked i n the prosecutor's office for the past 1 5 months u nder auspices of the Washington State Work Study Prog ra m . ''I've been assig ned to patrol cars with she riff's deputies, I 've been on the dispatch desk, and I've worked with prisoners i n the j a i l , a l o n g w ith m a n y oth e r duties , " he said .

At present he is developing an education prog ra m which will help make county m u n icipalities and the general publ ic more aware of Pierce Cou nty's Victim Witness Assistance Service. His ma rketi ng major and pre-law minors have been useful in all of the capacities in wh ich he has served .

This fall, G rem mels is one of 84 PLU students working for 63 emp­ loyers th roughout th e co u n ty under the state work study prog ­ ra m . Last year at this time the figu res were 78 and 50, and g rew to 1 86 students and 55 employers for the 1 981 -82 school year.

The state work study prog ra m, administered by the Council for Post Secondary Ed ucation, rei m ­ burses employers d irectly for a percentage of the student's sal­ ary . But the pairings of student job prospects with em ployers is the function of the PLU campus coor­ d i nator, Beth Ahlstrom .

The PLU prog ra m's high rate of place ment success has resulted th is year in a 41 percent increase i n funding, to $225,000 for the 1 98283 school year. To a large extent,

fu nding is based on effective use of previous al lotments, accord ing to Ahlstrom.

A few minutes with the PLU ca mpus coordi nator gives one an i n kling of the reason for the prog ra m 's success. Her i ntensity and enth usiasm are barely re­ strai ned as she recalls success stories l ike G rem mels and ta l ks optimistically about the prog ra m 's future.

Jobs, she i ndicated, are as varied as the job ma rket as a whole, though one of the primary state criteria is that jobs be related to a student's career or academic i n ­ terest. Nor c a n jobs b e secta rian o r politica l, or replace existing or p rospective ful l-time positions.

And d u ring the school year, stu­ dents ca n work no more th an 1 9 hou rs a week According to Ah lstrom, q u ite a n u m ber of positions are found i n social service or accounting areas.

B ut last year one student worked for th e A m e ri c a n Art Gallery, another was a lab tech nician for Water Manag ement Associates, and ma rketing positions were av­ a i l a b l e at both Pierce Cou nty Transit and the Marv i n Company.

Fred M ichel. a pre-med student who worked for the Marvin Com­ pany, was offered a hig h ly paid fu ll-time position with the com ­ pany headq uarters on the East Coast but elected to complete his education at PLU. Ah lstrom explained that PLU students a re fortunate, not only because PLU's i nvolvement i n the program is effective withi n the state progra m , but that Washing­ ton State is one of only five states in the cou ntry with similar work study prog rams.

About the Cover Internationally-known Swedish film and stage stars BibiAndersson and Max von Sydow paid a whirl­ wind visit to Pacific Lutheran Un­ iversity Sept. 21 to help kick off PLU's and the Northwest's year­ long Scandinavia Today celebra­ tion.

Just prior to their departure following a three-hour visit, they chatted with two Swedish ex­ change students at PLU, Maria Scharf and Mikael Igelstrom (cov­ er). The students are participating in a new student exchange prog ­ ram between PLU and the Univer­ sity of Linkoping, Sweden.

Two PLU students are presently studying at the Swedish university.

The film stars began their visit with a live interview on KPLU- FM with Artspl ace hostess Paula Swenson. That was fol/owed by an informal discussion with students in the Fundamentals of Acting class taught by Dr. William Becvar.

Andersson and von Sydow later were guests at a luncheon with PLU students and faculty memb­ ers. English professor Dr. Paul Benton and Scandinavian Studies professor Dr. Janet Rasmussen were coordinators of the visit.

The start also participated in Seattle Scandinavia Today events.

PLU Business Professo r Receives Fulbrigh t G rant TO Teach In China A Pacific Lutheran University business administration professor is one of 1 2 U.S. educators select­ ed to teach in the People's Re­ public of China this year under auspices of the Fulbright Founda­ tion.

Dr. Thad Barnowe, who has taught at PLU for the past five years, will teach classes in U.S. management and organizational practices.

He has been assigned to the Department of Economics at Z h o n g s h a n U n ive rsity i n Guangzhou (Canton), the largest university in Southern China . He is the first foreign professor at Zhongshan outside the languages department since the Cultural Re­ volution, and one of the first two Fulbright lecturers in business ad­ ministration in the PRC. Accordi n g to Barnowe, the Chinese are encouraging U .S. ex­ perts to help them speed moder-

nization. Progress on many edu­ cational fronts was suspended for a decade during the Cultural Re­ volution, and the Chinese are just beginning to rebuild curricula and programs, he added.

They are anxious for exposure to U .S. management practices, organizational forms, leadership and decision making, motivation and reward systems, and planning change management strategies, he indicated .

Besides teaching, Barnowe will observe local factories and will have an opportunity to assist in managing innovations in their op­ erations.

Barnowe's venture will also be­ nefit the PLU School of Business Administration, according to its dean, Dr. Gundar King .

The School is in the process of internatio n a l i z i n g i ts u n d e r ­ graduate and graduate business curricula, he indicated. "First hand experience in foreign countries is

invaluable in developing expertise which will help Northwest busi­ ness leaders prepare forthe antici­ pated rapid growth of trade with the PRC," he added .

Accord ing to the F u l b right Foundation and the U.S. Interna­ tional Communication Agency, 800 American students, teachers and professors are going abroad this year under the Fulbright ex­ change program. Since former senator W i l l i a m F u l bright i n ­ troduced the program i n 1 946, more than 45,000 Americans have taught or studied in over 1 00 countries, and more than 85,000 foreign nationals have studied or taught in the U .S. Twenty-four foreign govern­ ments also share in the funding of these exchanges.

Barnowe, who is accompanied by his wife, Joan, and their two children, will return to the PLU campus next June.

PLU Center For Executive Development Anticipates Rebound After Sluggish Year Rapid change in business and management practices in recent years has generated a growing need for continuing management education.

As a result, an array of management training and development programs are available today, of­ fered as seminars or workshops either in-house or at centralized locations. There are probably a relative few managers, adminis­ trators a n d executives in the country who have not taken ad­ vantage of these program offer­ ings.

The Pacific Lutheran University School of Business Administration responded to the demand for training programs in the North­ west by establishing the PLU Cent­ er for Executive Development.

Since 1 975, the Center has pro­ vided profeSSional programs of management development out­ side the regular university cur­ riculum.

Often tailoring its programs to fit an orgc:nization's specific train­ i ng needs, the Center grew rapid­ ly, and has become Pacific Luthe­ ran's most visible educational ser­ vice program among business and corporate leaders from Alaska to California.

The past 18 months, however, have been difficult ones for the Center. Accord ing to W i l l i a m c:"ooks, director of the C E O since 1 976, management training prog­ rams are one of the first places a 'company is likely to cut back during a slump in the economy.

The slump has been felt by , similar programs across the coun­ . �ry, and many of those outside institutional frameworks are in 'serious trouble. A consulta n t

quoted recently in the Wall Street "The lack of training doesn't show u p immediately, so nobody bleeds much except the outside firms that were offering this service."

This fall, however, Crooks sees reason for guarded optimism. "If our present outlook is indicative of the economy in general. we are going to see an u pturn soon," he observed. After a "very slow" summer, inquiries and registra­ tions for fall seminars look promis­ ing, he indicated .

In addition, many larger com­ panies that partiCipated regularly in the past have been "in a holding pattern" the past few months.

Now there are signs that a number of them are expecting more in­ volvement again after the first of the year, according to Crooks.

There have also been positive effects during the slowdown it­ self. Less demand in the Puget Sound area has given Crooks and his staff the opportunity to de­ velop programs in Alaska, where the economy is still strong. "In the past they have had to send their people down to seminars in the 'lower 48: " Crooks said.

PLU alumni and friends have played an i mportant role in help­ ing make the contacts in Anchor­ age and other Alaskan cities. As a result. Crooks and Dr. King, dean of the PLU School of Business Administration, have been work­ ing with both government and private companies there, develop­ ing primarily in-house programs.

(Upcoming seminars in Alaska include Essentials of Purchasing for Newly ApPOinted Managers Oct. 1 8 - 1 9 and How To Manage A Preventive Maintenance Depart-

Journal said,

ment Oct. 25-26.)

The Center itself has adopted greater efficiency and cost-effec­ tiveness within its own operation .

More recent emphasis has been on ti m e - p roven p rod uctivity ­ oriented programs, such as im­ proving management skills and data processing.

"Our experience has also given us a large file on instructors with proven effectiveness in many sub­ ject areas," Crooks added . Semi­ nar facu lty a re d ra w n f r o m g raduate schools of business and management consulting firms ac­ ross the country.

"We tailor more programs to meet specific needs than in the past." Crooks said.

During the 1 979-80 a nd 1 980-81 academic years, the CEO was con­ ducting over 200 seminars annual­ ly in the Greater Puget Sound area .

The 1 982 summer-fall schedule lists 76 seminar offerings in 1 8 general subject areas from Ac­ counting and Finance to Women in Management.

King and Crooks remain confi­ dent in the future of the Center.

Along with the PLU administration, they are committed to the con­ cept of continuing educational services for the business and cor­ porate community.

"Professional, managerial and technical people realize the vital importance of continuing man­ agement education as a prere­ quisite for professional survival and career advancement." King said .

Management Textbook Authored

By PLU Profs Two Pacific Lutheran University; business professors are sharing their expertise nationally as au­ thors of a management text/ handbook.

Associate Professor Stephen E .

Barndt and Professor Davis W .

Carvey are co-authors of Essen­ tials of Operations Management

designed for use as a supplemen­ tary text/handbook. Its coverage is broad rather than detailed, and it is a imed at build ing a foundation of und ersta nding rather than making the reader an expert.

Students as well as practicing managers in business and industry favor the practical nature of the book.

First published last October by Prentice-Hall, Essentials of Opera­ tions Management is already in its second printing. Several u niver­ sities have adopted the handbook including, Cal State at Fullerton, the University of Delaware, the University of Hawaii in Honolulu a n d PLU. I nternationally there have been sales in Singapore, Tokyo, London and New Zealand .

The book is part of The Essen­ tials of Management Series which consists of brief, survey books covering major content areas within the management discip­ line. Each book in the series pro­ vides a concise treatment of the key concepts and issues within a major content area. Professors Barndt and Carvey signed a con­ tract with Prentice-Hall to write a more substantial book. From a production and operations as­ pect, they are currently writing a more substantial full-size Princi­ ples of Management text . . '

Puccini's 'Gloria ' Highlight

PLU C h ristmas Festiva l Concert Returns

PLU Theatre Season Features Memora ble Plays

To Spoka ne, portla nd, Seattle And ca mpus Puccini's Messa di Gloria will be the featured work when the Pacif­ ic Lutheran University Department of M usic presents its annual C h ri s t m a s Festiva l C o n c e r t throughout the Northwest i n De­ cember.

The acclaimed concert series opens in the Spokane Opera House Friday, Dec. 3, at 8 p.m. This is the second year the annual event has been offered in Spokane.

The 30-member PLU ensem ble returns to the Portland Civic Au­ d.itorium Saturday, Dec. 4, at 8 p . m . The concert marks PLU 's eighth consecutive holiday visit to Portland .

It now is nine years si nce PLU first took the Christmas Festival Concert off-campus, to the Seat­ tle Opera House. This year the Seattle concert will be held Sun­ day, Dec. 5 , at 8 p.m.

"The following weekend three performances are scheduled in Olson Auditorium on ca mpus. Fri­ day and Saturday, Dec. 1 0-1 1 , the concert begins at 8 p . m . , with a 4 p.m. matinee closing out the six­ concert series Sunday, Dec. 1 2 .

As i n past years, the Christmas Festiva l Concert features the choir of the West. the University chorale and members of the Un iversity Symphony Orchestra .

Dr. Maurice Skones returns from a year's leave at the U n iversity of Arizona to direct the Choir of the West. Edward Harmic, director of the Choir in Skones' absence last

Edward Harmic

year, will once again direct the University Chorale.

Though Gloria was com posed by Pucci ni at the youthful age of 1 8 more than seven decades ago, it represents the fulfill ment of his entire musical background . As he went on to greater acclaim for his operatic works, his Mass was near­ ly forgotten for nearly 40 years.

Puccini had intended his Mass as a tribute to the tradition of his family, who for four generations had specialized in sacred music.

In addition to the Puccini work, the concert will be filled with holiday pagea ntry and the sounds of Christmas carols and anthems.

From dark fantasy to the bras­ siest of Broadway musicals, with gia nts of the American theatre, too, the 1 982 ·83 PLU stage season promises exciting entertainment.

Opening with "The Scarecrow,"

by Percy MacKaye, the PLU thes­ pia ns proceed to Tennessee Wil­ liam, in "Suddenly Last Summer," "Holidays," (an original children's play by Eric Nordholm,) then "Hel­ lo Dol ly, " " Picnic," by William Inge; "Marco Polo and the Drum of Ahmad," by Charlotte B . Chorpen­ ning and, to close the season, "The American C lock," by Arthur M iller.

"The Scarecrow, " running Oc­ tober 1 5, 1 6, 22 and 23, is a particularly fascinating play. Set i n 1 7t h century America and written in 1 910, the play was well ahead of its time and a definite influence on much of 20th century American theatre. William Becvar will direct.

"Suddenly Last Summer" is one of T e n n e s s ee W i l l i a m s most shocking and compelling plays. It has all the elements of an Ameri­ can morality play and a burning glimpse of fa mily psychology and human violation . The play runs Nov. 5, 6, 1 2 and 1 3. The director is Bill Parker.

"Holidays" is a bright new chil­ dren's theatre prod uction by PLU 's Eric Nordholm, who a lso directs. The performance is Dec. 4 .

As for "Hello, Dolly, " this fu n musical has become a staple of American theatre and is loaded with h u m o r a n d memora b l e songs. Directed by Bill Parker, "Dolly" runs Jan . 28, 29, 30 and Feb . 4 and 5 .

I nge's " Picnic" follows o n March 1 1 , 1 2 , 1 8 and 1 9 . Directed by William Becvar, the play mirrors s o m e m a rve l o u s s m a l l -town Americans as they reach for their dreams and love d u ring a Kansas summer fair. The characterization in this play is genuine and u n ­ forgettable.

The children's adventure, "Mar­ co Polo and the Drum of Ahmad," is set in the palace of Kublai Khan as perhaps the most fa mous Venetian of all gives us a look at old China. Nordholm directs .

The season closes next spring with a truly great American play­ wright. Arthur Miller. His "The American Clock" takes us back to the Great Depression of the thir­ ties as Miller presents a fascinating family struggling against terrible odds. There will be a guest director for the Miller play. Dates will be an nounced later .

OF Business Endowed chairs are positions at many universities for particularly distinguished teaching appoint­ ments.

Pacific Luthera n U n iversity's first endowed chair will be estab­ lished in the School of Business Ad min istration Sept. 1 , 1 984. A $500,000 ca mpaig n to fund the chair is currently underway.

The concept of the PLU en­ dowed chair is u ncommon in that plans call for a series of relatively short-term appointments of dis­ tinguished scholars from a variety of business field specialties.

Dr. Dwight Zulauf, professor of business administration and the School's first dea n, has been de­ signate<\the first appointee to the endowed chair, a special tribute to a faculty member whose devotion to PLU and the School of Business A d m i n i s t r a t i o n has en riched thousands of students, colleagues and members of the community.

Tuohino Th ird PLU Rota ry Scholar I n 1 982 Kent Tuohino '80 of Downey, Calif., is the third PLU graduate to begin studies this fall under au­ spices of a Rotary I nternational Fellowship.

Begin ning this month, Tuohino w i l l spend the academic year studying theology at Tubingen University in Germany as a part of his seminary progra m .

Since July h e has been studying German through auspices of the Goethe-Institute. .

The year of study, living, travel and incidental expenses, as well as the two months of intensive lan­ guage study are paid for by Rotary International.

Rotary Fellowships awarded to Olympia sophomore Vicki Welch and part-time student Pearl Rose were an nounced in the June issue of Scene.

Coffma n Na med As New PLU Media Di rector Joseph Coffman of Seattle has jCined the PLU university relations staff as director of media rela­ tions, according to Dr. Martin J .

Neeb, executive director of un­ iversity com munications.

Coffman, who assumed his new duties Sept. 1 , will handle media contacts and promotion for major campus events and arts programs, as wel l as university advertising ca mpaig ns.

The great colleges and univer­ sities across America can all point with pride and gratitude to small cadres of distinguished professors whose uncommon talents and dedication were vita l to the growth and success of the institu­ tions in their early developmental years.

It is a great honor to be cou nted among those revered pioneers at any one institution. To have played such a developmental role at three institutions must be considered nearly unique.

Dr. William Strunk, who died in Thousand Oaks, Calif. , in May at the age of 80, was such a man. He is given major credit for develop­ ment of science programs at Luther College in Decora h, la.

(1 927- 39), Pacific Lutheran (1 94862), and California Lutheran Col­ lege ( 1 962-71).

At Luther, Dr. Strunk helped develop the biology department.

At PLU (then PLC), where he chaired the biology department. he established a geology depart­ ment. nursing program, medical technology program, a student health service, and helped build the biology curriculum . At CLC he helped esta blish the science cur­ riculum and set up a student health service while heading sci-

Luthera nism TopiC Of '82 Beckman Lectu re Dr. Robert Jenson, professor of theology at Gettysburg Seminary, will deliver the fifth annual Beck­ man Memorial Lecture at Pacific Lutheran University Sunday, Oct. 31 .

The lecture, scheduled in con­ junction with area Reformation Sunday observances, will be held in Eastvold Auditorium at 4 p.m.

Theme of the lecture is "Doing Away With The Lutheran Church: Is It Time?" Developing his theme, at a time when American Lutheran­ ism is planning further denomina­ tional unity steps, Jenson will recall that Luthera nism was not original­ ly intended to be denominational. but a confessing movement with­ in the ecumenical church.

In addition to other ca mpus presentations, Jenson will speak at a Monday, Nov. 1 , convocation in Eastvold Auditorium at 10 a , m .

Jenson i s the author of numer­ ous books a n d a rticles, best known of which is Lutheranism, a study of the history of the Luthe­ ran church.

The Beckman Memorial Lecture Series is named in honor of the late Rev. James Beckman, who died five years ago at the age of 29 after three years of service as a un iversity minister at PLU .

ence, math and biology depart­ ments.

His 44-year career also included one year at st. Olaf College before he was appointed Com missioner of Conservation for the State of Minnesota under Gov. Harold' Stas­ sen . He then served for three years as a U .S. Army officer, par­ ticipating in the Normandy inva­ sion under the command of Gen .

George Patton.

PLU President Dr. William O. Rieke studied under Strunk at PLU in the early '50's. "A man of tremendous energy, dynamism and vision, William Strunk - affec­ tionately known as 'Wild Bill' taught much more than biology to everyone fortunate enough to be in his classes," Rieke recalled.

"From Dr. Strunk there came not only massive amounts of informa­ tion, but also a clear presentation of the organizational glue that made the information intelligible.

"Those things, combined with a razor sharp projection of the value of the study, turned William Stru nk's bombastic, sometimes overwhelming presentations into works of art that were appreciated as much for the deg ree to which they challenged as for the infor­ mation they provided, " he added.

The Blandau Award in his honor

Or. William Strunk

from the Dean of the University of Washington School of Medicine, established in recognition of the quality of the many students he had prepared for medicine, was only one of many honors he rece ived. Recently a memorial scholarship was established in his honor at C LC. Born in New Ulm, Minn., Stru nk studied at the U niversities of Wis­ consin, Chicago, Oxford, Min neso­ ta and M ichigan . He taught at the latter two.

He is survived by his wife, Ruth, and four gra ndchildren: Michael of Littleto n , Colo . ; Stephen and Richard of Phoenix, Ariz.; Linda Velarde of Denver, Colo.; and a great-grandchild, Jennifer Velarde of Denver.

Profiles From The Past

'They Don't Come Like Bill Strunk very Often '

By Dr. Harold Leraas

Dr. William Stru nk believed in academic excellence. He expected a lot from his students and he got good results. Students would say, "He scared the pants off me every day, but in the end I respected him, and loved him more than any teacher I had. " Students in the General Zoology class never forgot the daily show.

At the sound of the bell, the Herr Professor bu rst through the door, chalk hit the blackboard. Fifty minutes of rapid chalk-talk en­ sued . If one dropped his pencil, he lost.

At the end of the hou r, the bell rang, and students saw the pro­ fessor disappear through the door in a cloud of chalk dust. In lectur­ ing, he had a loud clear voice that rang through two stories of the building. He had a tommy-gun delivery, non-stop, fed by a keen mind and a good memory. Often at the end of a lecture, he would be wet with sweat.

H is lectu res were ca ref u l ly plan ned and well orga nized . His feeling was that students in col­ lege should gain sou n d basic knowledge and principles which .

would enable them to carry on in . graduate school and professional studies. Dr. Strunk encouraged and urged competent students to further their education beyond colleg e . Through his efforts, scores of students went on to obtain Master's and Doctor's of Philosophy in Biology, and over a hundred students attained a Doc­ tor of Medicine degree. His influ­ ence has touched and continues to touch the lives of hundreds of people throughout the land.

Another area of great concern to him was that of Conservation and Natural History. Always i nter­ ested, he took an active part in organizations a nd was called upon frequently as a speaker. H is inter­ est continued and he pursued it i n his days of retirement.

Bill Stru nk was a man of un­ bounded energy. He was also strong-wi lled and headstrong at times. Depending on one's posi­ tion, he might be delighted or he might be offended by Stru nk's sharp remarks. In the end, one tried to evaluate the man as a whole . But. how ca n I analyze the ocean from one cup of sea water?

They don't come like Bill Strunk very often, and one must give him his dues, which are many.

PLU A Cha n g i n g , Vib ra nt E ntity; Conti n ued Growth A Pa radox D u ring Diffi cu lt Economic Ti mes How can I describe adeq uately the truly remarkable myriad of accomplishments that made 1 981 /82 another record breaker? Amid success and much g rowth in technical and professional areas, we rema in a liberal arts university - a successful liberal a rts universi­ ty! Specifically, five years ago, before we experienced the strong growth in our pro­ fessional schools, the College of Liberal Arts was generating 58 . 1 4 percent of U n iversity­ wide credit hours; in the year just past. the percentage had not declined, but actually increased slightly to 59.28 percent. Liberal arts remain central to our successful Univer­ sity.

Overall, during fall, interim, and spring of 1 981 /82, 95,745 credit hours were produced - an increase of four percent over the record -breaking 1 980/81 level. The nu mber of baccalaureate deg rees g iven at Spring Commencement was the largest in the history of the institution, and exceeded last year's mark by al most exactly 20 percent.

Increases in credit hour production were attended by increases in faculty where the full-time equivalents changed from 221 to 231 ; in staff which went from 325 to 335; and in f.t.e. students, which moved from 2929 to 3084. Student/faculty ratio declined slig htly from 1 4 .41 to 1 4.39, which pedagogically is encouraging, but financially is drai ning .

A more tha n 23.5 million budget (increased 1 6 percent over 80/81 ) was surpassed, ending the year with an audited statement showing the Un iversity solidly in the black.

The University's endowment fund crossed the $2 million mark.

Fund raising for the University continued to break new records. $2.7 million in cash for operating and capital purposes - up more than 20% over the previous yea r - were received . It is most important as I report this not only to acknowledge the effective work of the development staff, but especially to speak my gratitude to the 298 faculty and staff persons who each month contribute through payroll deduction to the Q-Club and/or to the capital campaig n. I cannot over-emphasize how helpful it is to tell outsiders of the su pport the University enjoys from its own people. When nearly half of all employees contribute regularly to their own enterprise, it is a strong encouragement for those on the outside to do so also.

But cred it hours, and numbers of persons hired and being taught, and dollars raised and spent. don't tell the real success of 1 981 /82 . The heart of the past year was, as has been true in previous successful years, in the quality of the programs offered . I have prepared a listing of new developments and/or measu res of enha nced quality in every school . division, and department of the academic side of the University, and also in all the non-academic, supporting departments.

Time prevents my stati ng these, but I emphasize that your program successes a re both known and much appreciated. Without these, the drawing power and gen ius of PLU could not exist. Parenthetical ly, and somehat tong ue-in-cheek, the work of prepar­ ing a l ist of accomplishments also provides a l ist of opport nitles for further growth .

These, too, are noted In a previous State of the U niversity

During Fa l l state of University Address To Faculty. President POi nts TO New programs, Record Enrollments, And Major Renova­ tions In Antici pation Of DynamiC '82-'83 Year

address, I mentioned the problem of trying to ride two horses - one of remodeling, and one of erecti ng buildings - simultaneously.

The problem remains, the horses are bigger and faster, and financing has become harder.

Yet. 1 981 /82 saw much accom plished: the Blomq uist House, purchased last year, pro­ vides a dozen new faculty offices. The Math Building will yet this fall be enlarged to the north to provide extra offices. The fi rst floor of Xavier has been redone in an attractive and functional way to gain both office and classroom areas. Portions of Eastvold and the Administration Building have been and will be changed again to acquire more space. The newly installed elevator in the Ad ministration Building is being matched by an additional one in the University Center, and many other changes have been made ca mpus-wide to reduce barriers for the handicapped. Conver­ sion of Evergreen Court from family to single student housing has been completed to increase on -campus single student housing.

Most important as a harbinger of the future is the completion of the new Physical Plant and Central Services shops . Finished and paid for at a cost of nearly % million dollars, this allowed removal of the old shops in prepara­ tion for building the new science hall.

Although the summer session just con­ cluded belongs budgetarily to the current rather than the past year, it should be said, with a com mendation to all involved, that it finished somewhat a head of income expec­ tations and nearly equalled last year's record enrollment. Summer conference business, though hurt by the depressed economy, conti nues also to be an important revenue and public relations activity for the Un iversity.

During 1981 /82, outside support of many kinds grew greatly for the University. One exam ple of this is the fact that 31 1 rather than the previous 1 83 Lutheran congrega­ tions held a PLU Sunday. 62,000 rather than Dr. William O. Rieke

last year's 42,000 bulletin inserts were distri­ buted across the Northwest. An example of a strong local support grou p with a vibrant new activity close to home is the PLU Thrifty Troll. A th rift shop operated on Garfield Street by dedicated volunteers, it is worth a visit. and promises strong aid to the Scandinavian Studies program .

Finally, the combined a n d genera lly har­ monious efforts of all made the 1 981/82 yea r successful enough that for the third year in a row the President was able to recom mend salary increments for everyone that. at a minimum, were double d igit. Without being either smug or self-congratulatory, but yet being intensely serious, I wonder whether each of us, including the President. reflects with adequate gratitude on this fact in these troubled times.

But, so much for the past year.

Success: Can It Be Better?

Clearly, and most importantly, it depends overall on our doing that which we have already proven we ca n do wel l . We must cling to and keep clea r our mission . Over-simp­ lified and inadequately detailed, that means that the quality of both our academic and support programs must continue to in­ crease, and the ca ring, supportive Christian environment must continue to be nurtured.

Previous years and conversations have affirmed both the value and the room for pl uralism in this environment. I affirm these again. At the sa me time, I underscore the University's obligation not to forget its middle name. An assist in this will occur through Christian context discussions which again will be held . In addition, the Monday, Wednesday, Friday chapel services will move, at least for fall semester, to Eastvold Au­ ditorium where their central location on campus will l ift up the invitation for all students, faculty, and staff to attend.

That 1 982/83 can be better depends, too, on our continuing to develop new and different programs that are in demand . I am pleased by the fact that a Master's in Special Education is planned for this coming year.

Plans for a minor in Electrical Engineeri ng, and further g rowth in Computer Science must receive every possible admi nistrative and faculty support. Graduate programs generally, and efforts to attract and retain more students - especially off-ca mpus undergraduate, off-campus transfer per:;ons, and grad uate students must be in­ creased . Initiative for these a nd other changes must lie heavily with faculty who are aware of special program opportu nities.

Such initiative will receive every possible administrative support.

The new year will be better, as our prod uctivity remains hig h . For budget pur­ poses, we have program med 43,000 reg ular $1 65/hr. credit hours to be generated this fall. As of Sept. 27, 42 ,218 of these necessary hours were registered, and the goa l is clearly attainable, though presently not certain.

Campus housing, in spite of being enlarged, is presently oversubscribed . 667 freshmen , a s compared t o 684 at this date last year, caused the overal l new student number to be (Continued on page

2 .6% less than last year. It is u n realistic perhaps to expect, in the current economy, to duplicate last year's total enrollment. but we should be very close. So close, in fact, that, barring a co mpletely unforeseen change, the actual final number will not in any way deter our having an even better year.

The success of 1 982/83 will also be con­ ditioned by management practices . I will mention just two. New budgetary proce­ dures calling for the administration to submit models of the 1 983/84 budget jointly to the Provost's Council and Faculty Affairs Com­ mittee in late November for advice and com ment have been adopted . The administ­ ration , likewise, will seek advice from the faculty and academic administrators con­ cerning the means and feasibility of moving student/faculty ratios to larger nu mbers ­ especially in certain disciplines where overall averages are low . The September 1, 1 982 issue o,f the Chronicle of Higher Education contains average faculty sala ries for colleges and un iversities in the U .s. The good news is that PLU professors on average receive more than professors in similar universities. The bad news is that this is not yet true for associate and assistant professors. Moreover, the qua ntal ratings of faculty salaries as compared to other II-A universities nationally remains #3 for professors and #4 for as­ sociate and assistant professors. After truly thorough analysis, I have concluded that these rankings cannot be changed unless student/faculty ratios are changed . There are ways to do this without threatening jobs and without invoking over-work, but the faculty must wish to have it happen and must participate in the process, or it si mply can not happen .

The success of the coming year also will be heavily conditioned on the provisions of new facilities - ever more space. Here you may be pleased to know that I will recommend to the Board of Regents on September 21 that approval of the new science building Phase I schematics be granted; that working draw­ ings be authorized, and that bids be attempt­ ed next spring, with ground breaking hoped for in May of 1 983 .

You may be excited, as I am, to know that the U niversity has a rranged to rent the entire Parkland Elementary School, effective im­ mediately. This will be known as the East Ca mpus, and is the single largest space acquisition for the Un iversity in the last 1 2 years. It will house a variety of programs ultimately, but not the entirety of any one unit, so that no school or division becomes separated from the rest of the campus.

Immediately, it will provide space for a demonstration year to determine the feasi­ bility of a Family and Child Services Center, under the direction of Dr. Robert Menzel.

Existing components of such a future center i nclude CHOICE, the Department of Special Education, the Department of Social Work, and the Health Promotion or "Stay Wel l" progra ms. Beyond this demonstration or pilot project, the East Campus will provide clJssroom space for the School of Education and will generally relieve crowding and scheduling problems on the upper and lower ca mpus. Further consultation with other academic u nits will occur for subsequent space assig nments . As with all other Universi­ ty space, aSSig nments will be made by the central administration, wlttl requests being directed to the Office of the Provost.

And so, the 1 982/83 year starts wit great excitement. gratitude, promise, and also

great challenge. Will it be better? A new five year plan to be presented to the Regents this month says not only it but each of the next five will be.

I: conclusion - PLU is a changing, paradoxical, vibrant entity. While other col­ leges and universities are firing, we are hiring; while others curtail programs, we add new areas of study; while others forego salary increases, ours a re augmented by double­ digit nu mbers; while others eliminate space, we build, remodel, and lease multiple areas; while the public image of others is dwindling, the PLU star still seeks its zenith. And what

Q C l u b Needs Fa l l Boost To Reach

1 982 Goal

By John Aakre Associate Director of Develop ment

The growth of Q Club income is not immune from the effects of the current economy. Though the Q Club set an all time record of $445,000 in 1 981 , income figures for this year remain 6% behind that pace through the end of August.

We need your help this Fall to help us reach our 1 982 goal of $500,000 by the end of the fiscal year.

That kind of growth is crucial if the University is to meet the increasing financial needs of our students. Federal student loan cut backs and a weak summer job ma rket have made scholarship dollars doubly impor­ tant.

Fortunately, at a time when other schools are entering a period of retrenchment, PLU is beginning its 92nd Anniversary year with continued strength . Q Club contributions are crucial to that success.

President Rieke, speaking at Opening Con­ vocation, noted that while many colleges are cutting back on prog rams, PLU is continuing to expand and improve its offerings across a wide spectrum of disciplines.

Students and their parents continue to choose PLU for the kind of quality education which we provide. One example of that quality occurred this past year when PLU 's School of Busi ness Admin istration became one of only eig hteen schools in the nation to receive national recogn ition for its Account­ ing Progra m .

Your personal membershi p in the Q Club can help us maintain and expand that level of quality in the year ahead.

Since over one half of all Q Club income comes in the last four months of the year, we can still make our goal if we all work together.

The following people have joined the Q Club since the June issue of SCENE: Augusta­ na Lutheran Church, Portland; Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Tacoma to FELLOW; M/M Stanley Blackwood; A. Mark Carlson; Christ the King Lutheran Church, Milton-Freewater to FELLOW; M/M John Edlund to Associate Fellow; DIM William Foege to FELLOW; Karl E. Fritschel; RIM Erwin Gerken; M/M Michael Gocke; DIM Norman Hagen and Loren Hildeb­ rand .

Also jOining were DIM AI Hove, M/M Jeff Joh nson, M/M Theodore L. Johnson, Jr., Naomi Krippaehne, M/M Albert La mb, RIM Ray Lester, M/M Gene Lundgaard , M/M Herbert Nienstedt to Associate Fellow, M/M Carl Strock to FELLOW, Inez Weir to FELLOW, M/M Harry Wicks to FELLOW, M/M Sherman Williamson and Mable Wing to Associate Fellow.

does this mea n? It means to me - gratitude, mixed with a l ittle fright; it means humility, a determination to cling to and lift up mission; it mea ns a special concern that success and busyness not destroy the commmunity that is ours; and finally, it means that together we can and will succeed.

Hobo ' s Del ight: A Second Look Reveals New Beauty

By Harvey Neufeld, Executive Director The COllegiu m/Church Relations

Church hopping in western Montana has always been one of the most delightful parts of the year's itinerary. This last trip was no exception. The big sky, the startling beauty, the ruggedness of it all elevates driving to an adventure - a joy of discovery!

Just such a serendipitous event happened again a few weeks ago. It was a new turn in the road and another scenic wonder, elec­ trifying in its impact on the visual senses. In a few moments I had crossed the bridge and come to a stop. The scene deserved a second look. This strea m, this verdant meadow, this distant white peak, this blue haze of the foothills, this autumnal aspen grove - all of it was a photographer's drea m . My camera was handy, as usual .

Fresh hoof marks in the creek bed and other scratchings of assorted chipmu nks and partridges told me I was not the first visitor to stop. I sighed a thank you to my Creator for it all! Ah, but the spell was soon broken.

The debris of man was scattered around in environmental sacrilege. Every variety of bottle and can, of known and obscure labels, offended the sh rubs and grass . Then I saw it!

It must have been a hobo's delig ht! Seven or eight beer and pop cans lined up and stru ng between the taut ba rbed w i re stra nds of a brand new cattle fence. Every color of the rainbow teased the eye! Glisten­ ing reds, faded ivories, emerald greens, and the russet of old fashioned root beer!

I sometimes think the dividing line bet­ ween obscenity and art is veiled. It was obscene - or was it art? I voted for art and quickly recorded the image with my ca mera .

It could be a prize winning photo - a hobo's delight. My laugh in the quietness of that pristine morning startled the blue jay who squawked disapproval of my intrusion. So, on to the next church!

So much of my life, and yours too, is like that ca ptivating landscape, interrupted by some "hobo's delight." some interference of low nu isance value, which, upon second look, has in it the makings of beauty and great personal growth.

PLU 's life with its congregations may in some small ways be like that scenic intrusion.

My visits to the congregations, while not bei ng "hobo's delights," call for the pastors' and parishoners' attention when, in fact, that attention is called for by many others and in dozens of ways. It could be that the sum total of this "sleeve pulling" can reach the point of diminishing the effectiveness in the local congregations' ministry. But I opt for anoth­ er point of view. I think that while PLU 's and the churches' relationship may not be spel l­ binding, and while human fraility enters all relationshi ps, still the opportunity for growth and sharing in mission is a prize winning combination . It'S a good picturel It's worth a se ond look.

I ncreasing Al u m i Fraternity, Chapte r Partici pati on Are Ooals For Association By paul Kusche Alumni Assoclatlon President

"What we need now is a strong, active Alumni Association , " committed to "better organization and development of a continu­ ous and effective program of united action in promoting the welfare of the University and its alumni."

Tha challenge was issued to me two weeks prior to the recent Alumni Association board meeting by Dr, Rieke. It was a challenge I accepted without reservation as your associ­ ation president, because it is easy to promote a University that is match ing its all-time highs of a year ago, while other colleges and universities are fighting enrollment declines; has total credit-hour production up over a year ago; has specialty departments such as the School of Business Administration that now has the Northwest's only AACSB-accre­ dited accou nting program; and has the Quality programs to attract National Merit Scholars and g raduate eight Fulbright scho­ lars in eight years.

The Question posed for the Board this last week was "How do we build a program for the Alumni Association which will i nitiate the development of this active, involved organi­ zation?" Two answers came back. We must.

1 ) correct an image problem of the Associa­ tion, its Board and its management change the image from that of a strictly fund-raising organization to one that is as interested in increasing the fraternity of the alumni as raising fu nds to support the Un iversity; and 2) seek to develop stronger external ties among our alumni by encourag­ ing their participation in and support of local chapters.

I n response to these, two changes were made in the alumni board for the current

ing. In unrestricted giving to the University, the most important giving besides capital commitment, the alumni of PLU showed a 24 percent gain. This giving has come from only 13 percent of our alumni. Our goals thl year are just as ambitious. We are looking for a further 24 percent increase in unrestricted giving and more importa ntly, an overall 24 percent increase in the participation level in un restricted giving.

If PLU is to continue to receive major grants which will assist in the funding of the new music and performing arts center, the new science center and other U n iversity capital projects, it must have a strong base in its alumni.

I know you will all join with me in building a strong, active and committed Alumni Associ­ ation, dedicated to keeping PLU at the forefront of Ch ristian higher education .

academic year. The first was to start a new committee of communication and services responsible for evaluating all communica­ tions and developing a master plan for changing the image of this organization over the next couple of years. Second, to build up our external organizations, 1 5 geographical areas have been set aside as specific target areas for the development of official PLU Alumni Chapters, Four of these areas are currently involved in chapter activities. They are: Golden Gate Cha pter, Greater Portland Area Chapter, Greater San Diego Area Chapter and Hong Kong Chapter. In addition, 1 1 more areas have been targeted for initial charter­ ing activities during the 1 982/83 academic yea r. These areas are: Spokane, Salem, Tri­ Cities, Eugene, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Anchorage, Honolulu, Boise and Billings.

Each one of these areas has been selected because of the current availability of alumni leadership, the existence of one or more major University functions during the year, and the interest of alumni in those regions.

To accom plish this, another new committee has been established, That committee, the Cha pter Development Committee, is made up of the key leaders from selected geog­ raphic regions which will be the pilot prog­ rams for ou r chapter development program, The key to the success and growth of our Alumni Association over the next five years will be involvement, for it is through the involvement of each of you as an alum within University activities and functions that we gain a commitment which eventually will result in financial strength. In addition to the alumni board esta blish ing the goals of in­ creasing our chapters to 1 5, and cha nging our image, we are still comm itted to the fi na ncial support of the University.

Development Of Wheat Ma rkets Abroad

By Judy Davis

Jerald Sheffels, '54, past presi­ dent of the Washington State Wheat Commission, recently re­ turned from a tour of 1 0 foreign countries where he served as "an ambassador of goodwill trying to develop new markets for United States wheat."

Sheffels was among two u .s . wheat farmers a n d a representa­ tive of the U.S. Department of Agriculture who vi sited S pa i n , Morocco, Algeria, Italy, Portugal, Holland, Yugoslavia, Jordan, Egypt and Sudan .

The PLU g raduate, who farms 6,000 acres of wheat and barley in Wilbur, 65 miles west of Spokane, Wash , was wearing a "dual hat" during his travels: He was repre­ senting U.S. Wheat, a marketing organization comprised of wheat farmers in 1 3 states; and the Foreign Agricultural Service of the Department of Agriculture.

Sheffels, a board member of U .S. Wheat, said, "This year, the organization will spend $1 , 1 00,000 for public relations, research and marketing development for u .s . wheat. " Besides being involved in de­ veloping new markets for U .S. wheat, Sheffels also is research cha i rman for the wheat commis­ sion . He spends about a third of his time on the non-paying commis­ sion responsibilities, worki ng with research scientists at Washington State University, and with state a nd national legislators and gov­ ernmental agencies.

Although frequently away from his farm, Sheffels was at home this summer when harvest time a r­ rived at the farm of a neighbor hospitalized because of an auto­ mobile accident. Sheffels suggest­ ed the Wilbur com m unity harvest the injured farmer's gra i n . Over two weekends, crews harvested wheat and barley off 750 acres of Loren Bodeau's farm.

Duri ng one weekend, 30 com­ bines harvest more than 500 tons of barley in two hours - a feat that normally takes two to three weeks.

When not at home, Sheffels is assisted by some "fine help , " including various members of his 1 970 .

Jerald Sheffels

fa mily of four daughters and two s o n s . O n e d a u g h te r , J oyce Bridges, is a sophomore at PLU; a nother, Cathy Sheffels, attended PLU one year.

Efforts by Sheffels and his col­ leagues to ferret out new markets for U.S. wheat are espeCially timely since there is a surplus of u .s . wheat, even thoug h worldwide demand for the grain is high.

Sheffels explained the wheat surplus is tied to overproduction by wheat farmers in America, economic problems worldwide, increased com petition from other wheat-producing countries a nd the fact the Common Market is selling subsidized , lesser quality wheat to countries which have been customers of the U nited States.

Sheffels expl a i n e d , "As o n e buyer in Yugoslavia put it, we realize we can buy more and better wheat per dollar from the United States, but we simply don't have the dollars to use, so we buy the cheaper wheat. " Complexities of problems fac­ ing U.S. wheat farmers ca me into sharper focus when the peripatet­ ic farmer visited with government buying agents and grain millers' representatives while overseas .

"The foreign buyers a n d millers like talking to actual wheat farm­ ers," Sheffels observed.

Besides seeking out new mar­ kets, U .S. Wheat helps underde­ veloped countries learn how to better mill U .S. wheat and use it i n food preparation.

1 971 GARRETI ALLMAN received the Doc­ tor of Musical Arts deg ree i n orchestral conducting from the U n iversity of Iowa in December 1 981 . He is now i n h is second year as music d i rector a n d conductor o f t h e Jacksonville (Illi nois) Symphony Orchestra, a n d assistant professor of music at Illi nois College, Jacksonville.

"We also seek ways to use wheat as a foreign excha nge item to our country's best advantage, " Shef­ fels said .

According to him, it is important to develop wheat ma rkets i n countries which can "buy" the wheat outright or exchange it for other goods they produce, in order to maintain a proper balance of trade.

While Sheffels sees wheat as an important element of foreign ex­ change, he does not think food should be used as a political weapon. " If we sell food such as wheat to a country like Russia, they'll have that much less money to spend on arma ments and defense , " Shef­ fels suggested .

"We need to keep i n mind, if a country ca n 't get food i n trade, they'll get it another way . . . I think it would be far better to trade food with our 'enemies' and impose restrictions i n such areas as high technology rather than institute food embargoes.

According to Sheffels, market conditions for U.S. wheat could i mprove if u .s. farmers cut their p ro d u ct i o n , mem bers of the Common Market "tire" of paying for subsidized wheat exported to other countries, the worldwide economy improves and new mar­ kets emerge.

"The wheat market is a lso di­ rectly related to weather condi­ tions a round the world . . . if there is a draught, for instance, demand for our wheat increases," Sheffels pOinted out.

H e s u g g ested s u rp l u s U . S . wheat could be used t o i ncrease the world wheat reserve, stored in the United States.

"We only have a 45-day supply of wheat for the entire world that is a narrow difference bet­ ween feast and famine," he said.

Sheffels pointed out, although Americans complain about high food costs, people in countries like Russia spend as much as 45 per­ cent of their income for food (as opposed to 15 percent i n our country).

"In a world where many cou n ­ tries have problems just feeding their people," he observed, "it's too bad we must pay the price for being the most productive farm­ ers in the world.

prize-Wi n ni ng Snow Scu l ptu re At Sa p poro Wi nte r Festiva l Desig ned' By PLU Al u m nus Editor's note: William Kraiger, a 1966 PLU alumnus, is a member of the "u. S, team " which competes annually in the International Snow Statue Contest, the highlight of the Sapporo (Japan) Winter Fes­ tival.

By William Kralger

The archipelago of Japan is made up of four main islands, Hokkaido is the northernmost and least populated , Until about a hundred years ago the island was occu pied mostly by the Ain u, an aboriginall caucasoid people who once occupied all of Japan but were forced out by the peoples who have become the Japanese, The temperatures d u ring the summer are mild, with low humid­ ity, unlike most of the rest of Japa n , The winters are very harsh with low temperatures and much snow, The capital city of Sapporo was laid out by the u.s. Corps of Engineers, Running through the center of Sapporo is a wide park, called the Odori, about a block wide and twelve blocks long, For years, d u ring cold winter months, chil­ dren would gather on the Odori and have snowball fights and build snowmen , One day a member of the C h a m b e r of Comm erce was watching the children at play when the idea struck him that. with nothing else to do in the winter, and all that snow, a snow

festival with giant snow statues would be a great idea , It was, because from that casual inspira­ tion grew the g reatest and most spectacular Winter Festival in the world , The next big impetus came when the Japanese Self-Defense Forces (the army) made the festiv­ al a part of their winter maneuv­ ers. The festival has grown each year, so that it now fills the entire Odori and has a second site, equally spectacular, at Makomonai on the outskirts of Sapporo, about ten minutes away by subway, On the Odori the most impres­ sive sig hts are the six large snow statues, Each statue is the entire block wide, and they reach heights of 30 to 40 feet. Not only a re they massive, but the attention to detail boggles the mind, Two or three weeks are spent sculpting these, with hundreds of workers working in shifts, Most are made by the SDF, but one is made by the fire department and another by the students of the Sa p poro Technical High School! My person­ al favorite over the years was the M unich City Hall, almost life size, with all the gingerbread intact.

Munich, as well as Sidney, Australia and Portland, Oregon have sister­ city relationships with Sapporo and have each been honored , In 1 982 Honolulu was selected , In addition to the large statues, there a re 75 smaller statues in the Friendship Division, s p re a d

During Kraiger's six years of participation, U, S, Teams have won four sculpture Grand Prix throughout the Odori. They are made by different community g ro u ps, neighborhood associa­ tions, and clubs, and there are many more g roups that want to bu ild each year than there is room .

There are n o restrictIons o n sub­ ject, and they range from the ridiculous to the sublime.

The I nternational Snow Statue Contest is small in scale compa red to the rest of the festival . but it is the only com petition, and since it is competition between nations, a lbeit friendly, there is a great deal of interest in the outcome. By the time the international com peti­ tion begins, most of the other statues a re finished, so the crowds come ,to watch the scu l pt i n g teams work. The people of Sap­ poro have their favorites and come by every day to cheer them on.

The U nited States' team origi­ nates At Yokota Air Base, located on the outskirts of Tokyo. It is made u p of members of the U .S. Air Force stationed at Yokota and others connected to the base. I work for the Department of De­ fense Dependents' Schools as the art teacher at Yokota High School.

Other team members have been an architect, a structural engineer, a photo journalist. a dental techni­ cian, a computor program mer, and people in a variety of other occupations. The team personnel changes each year as people come and go. We have never been able to send the sa me tea m two years in a row.

In the competition we must work u nder strict rules which the other festival scul ptors need not worry about. The size of the block of snow is a 3 x 3 meter base and 4% meters high (about 1 0' x 1 0' x 1 5'). Each participat i n g natio n m u st c h oose su bject matter which reflects its cou ntry's culture or history.

While we spend only a short time "on the snow" we spend a g reat deal of time i n planning and preparation. We represent the U nited States, but like the U .S. Olympic teams, we receive no financial support from the U .S.

government. We are self-su pport­ i ng , a nd since sending a tea m costs several thousa nd dollars each year, a g reat deal of time a nd effort is expended ra ising money.

We are fortunate to have a com ­ munity which su pports our fun ­ d raising activities.

M a ny t h i n g s contribute to creating a prize-win ning entry.

Enthusiasm , hard work, dedica ­ tion, skill, and desire all play an im porta nt pa rt, but it is careful prior pla nning that pays in the end. Just choosing a subject is a difficult and often heated u nder­ taking . Since it must represent some aspect of American cultu re or history we have tried a variety of themes. My first year on the team we made an American Indian on horseback galloping across the plain. All of the horse's hooves were off the ground. The next year we did my personal favorite, the first space-walk, with the as­ tronaut suspended in space, con­ nected to the spacecraft only by his l ifeline. Another year we de­ picted Davey Crockett as he "ki lt him a bar." Last yea r we did the American circus. Our most spec­ tacular design was a Brahma bull rider with the entire bull and rider suspended on one foot. That foot was su p port i n g n e a r l y 5000 pounds of snow.

Once the subject is chosen, we must decide how to make an interesting, dynamic scu l pture. A lot of drawings are discarded at this stage. The statue can't be too simple or it will be uninteresting . It can 't be too com plicated or we won 't have time to finish. Animals and people are crowd pleasers.

Above all, the statue must not be static; it must have action.

When the final composition is agreed upon, I make d rawings to scale showing all views. These are turned over to our engineer, who d es i g n s a n a r m atu re, o r fra mework, which will be placed inside the snow. The armature is prefabricated, disassembled, and is taken to Sapporo with us. We arrive a few days early to construct our own block.

After the armature is assembled

it is carefully wrapped with " rice rope" or with white sheets. The snow won 't freeze to the arma ­ ture, but it will freeze to the wrapping. The completed arma ­ ture is placed within a wooden framework i nto which the snow is d u m ped with a backhoe. While it is being filled, we pack the snow with our feet and water the snow with a hose to make it the right texture for carving. It will sit for about three days to season.

The actual carving is hectic, even frantic. About 90 percent of the work is done with shovels and hatchets, roug hing out the basic form . We try to accomplish this the first day, though we usually don't make it. The rest is detail work, most of which is done with professional ice ca rvi ng tools, sharpened to razor-blade toler­ ance. Any less would crumble the snow. One advantage to working with snow, as opposed to ice, marble, or wood, is that if some­ thing is removed (or falls off) that should not be, it is a simple matter to mix some fresh snow with water and replace it. In fact, the entire finished surface of the statue will be covered with slush, as it freezes and gives the statue a white, glossy surface, a good finishing touch.

Once work begins, it is total dedication to the statue, from early morning to late at night.

Of course, it is not all work. We do take breaks for rest and eating, which provide an oppo rtunity to meet and mix with other teams.

Each year we furnish a "typical"

American meal for one of the lunches. We mix up a big pot of chi li, which we serve to the other teams. This is just one aspect of the i n teraction betwee n th e teams. This interaction sometimes carries beyond the festival; in fact. two members of the American team have ma rried girls from the Australian team !

Though the team originates at Yokota Air Base, and all of the tea m members are connected in some way with the A i r Force, we are not the Yokota tea m, or even the Air Force tea m . At Sapporo and anywhere publicity spreads the word, we are the U nited States' Tea m. Whatever honors befall us become a reflection on our nation . We go to Sapporo to do our best. win or lose. During the six years I have been a team member, we have won the Grand Prix fou r times and placed second twice.

During the snow festival two m i l li o n people flood Sapporo, more than doubling the popula­ tion during that first week of February. Though there are many attractions, the main attraction remains the 30 snow statues, snow for which has been brought to the city in 4,500 trucks.

Snow sculpture teams come from all over the world: Quebec, Italy, Sweden, EI Salvador, Hong Kong, Australia, the People's Re­ p ub l i c of C h i n a , Malaysia, I n ­ donesia, Pakistan, the Federal Re­ public of Germany, South Korea, and of course Japa n .

Three-sport Ath lete Adds M usic.

Schola rship To I m p ressive Cred its

By Jim ' KlttllSby

To herald achievement, an ath­ lete sometimes needs to blow his own horn .

Trumpet fanfare, however, is not for Curt Rod i n . He favors the woodwind i nstruments.

The senior biology major, who was recently awarded the Allen­ more Medical 'Foundation Scholar­ ship, befitting his rank as PLU's most promising pre-med student (3 .85 grade poi nt), is an accomp­ lished three-sport athlete, as well as ba ritone saxophone soloist i n the Un iversity Jazz Ensemble. Ro­ d i n was also cited as PLU's 1 981 -82 schola r-athlete award winner.

A three-year letterman in foot­ ba ll a nd 1 982 co-ca ptain, the 6-6, 227 pound tight end was PLU's number two receiver last year, gatheri ng in 24 passes for 420 yards "He uses his size to adva n ­ tage a n d is a real clutch player, " said Lute grid g u ru Frosty Wes­ tering In basketball, Curt is a rugged rebounder with a two- monogra m collection. A forward, Rodin was cited as the team 's inspiratIonal award winner followi ng the 1 981 82 campaign . " Curt i s n out­ standing athlete a nd a rea l asset to o u r progra m , " offered cage boss Ed Anderson Reaching out 43- 1 01,12 in the triple jump last spring after a three-year track layoff, Curt let­ tered and qualified for the confer­ ence meet. "Recruiti ng h i m in his junior year wa s qu ite a j o b , " stated Paul Hoseth . "I had to find a pair of size 1 5 track shoes . " " I hink football has developed as my best sport. " said Rodi n (Ro­ deen), whose father, Dennis, was a PLU g rid a nd hoop performer u nder Marv Harshman in the mid50s. The senior Rodin is a Lutheran pastor in Spokane. Curt's mother, Peg, is also a PLU alum.

"In the spring of my sophomore year, I got the feeling I wasn't making as much of my potential as

" People at PLU h a ve bee n cooperative and understanding when my activities overlapped Because I have always had broad interests, I feel lucky that I settled on PLU , where I've had the chance to branch out, " Rodin said.

The congenial giant, n icknamed "Bird " by g rid teammate Kevin Skogen, because of his resemblI

a nce to the Sesame Street TV ch a racte r, has a puckish sense of humor, which he unveils both verbally and i n cartoon form .

According to Curt, his caricatures s u rface in print when he is " p ro c ­ rastinating " in his studies.

Rodin, who aspires to a career 5 a surgeon, possibly in the sports mediCine field, would like to have pursued the a rts. " More music would have been rewarding," he reflected . "I often think about untapped potential.

PLU's La rson A Swedish National Team Fill-In ; sparks Cha mpionship What started a s a coin flip tu rned out to be a gold-plated summer adventure for Pacific Luthera n baseballer M ike Larson .

Larson, a senior, was named most valuable player at the six­ nation European Cup baseba l l tou rnament i n late June - while playing for the Leksand, Sweden team .

Tou ring Sweden with the Ath­ letes in Action baseball team, Larson had occasion to compete against the Leksand team, just after an accident had Sidelined the Swedish club's catcher. With the European Cup fast approaching, Leksand asked AlA officials for permission to talk with the two American catchers. Larson, who

An 1 1 th round draft pick of the Kansas City Royals, the first PLU player ever selected, Monson play­ ed professional baseball for the Sarasota club in the Class A Gulf Coast League.

Monson, who set 1 1 PLU h itting records during a four-year stint. including best career batting aver­ age ( , 354), swatted .289 at Saraso­ ta . The third baseman a/so drove in 34 runs, to finish third a mong league RBI leaders.

"I didn't have m uch time to see the Sights, since we had daily morning workou s and afternoon games, " said Monson, now com­ pleting his u ndergraduate work at PLU while serving this semester as a resident hall assistant. "We were on the field six to eight hou rs a day. " " Playing pro ball i s quite a n adjustment from college sports.

It'S no longer just having fun, but rather, every man for himself."

Larson rapped seven hits in 1 4 p late appearances, including a ga me-winning home run in one contest. to spark Leksand to the team championship. Other tea ms in the tourney represented De­ nma rk, Finland, Spain, Belgium, and France. " Baseball is only about 30 years old in Sweden," said Larson, son of Rev. and M rs. Edgar Larson . The senior Larson is director of plann­ ed giving at PLU .

"There are eight or nine teams in the country's one expansive league," added Larson . "Some trips are ten hours by train . " " Excluding pitching, the caliber of play i n Sweden could be likened, at best, to the average college team in the U .S. The pitching was weak. They must have studied old­ time films, because the windups were vintage Bob Feller, but the velocity was missing."

' ' I 've read that only one ball­ player in a million wilt make it to the professional ranks," added Monson. "Then, only three of 1 00 will progress to the big leagues.

While chances of going all the way are stim , you have to keep working and dreaming . " "Statistically, I was happy the way things worked out. I'm hope­ ful of advancing to a high 'A' league next year, possibly Fort Myers of the Florida State league There's an outside chance I could make it to Double A. "

Dr, Dale R , Croes believes there's qu ite a futu re in the past. I n addition t o bei n g the first resident a rchaeologist at Pacific Lutheran U n iversity, Dr C roes is a lso the d irector of the Washington Ar­ chae o l o g i c a l Resea rch C e n te r ( W A R C ) a n d d i r e c to r of a r­ cha eolog i cal dig sites at the Hok o River on the O lympic Pe n i n s u la , One of Croes' goals i s to make more people aware of the rich Pacific Northwest past. "We have the potential to develop strong teaching a n d research programs to allow u s to learn more about the last 1 2 ,000 yea rs We ca n develop add itio n a l p rograms in the orthwest that can contri b ute to the understa n d i n g of the he rit­ age of this reg i o n , " h e sai d , Along with other a rchaeolog­ ists, C roes is directi ng work to u n b u ry part of the past at two Maka h Indian ca mpsites at the mouth of the Hoko River. The first site, which was discovered in 1 977, dates back 2 , 800 years, It is the old est archaeol ogical site on the west coast of Was h i n gton state, a n d served as a prehistoric s p ring a n d s u m mer fishing camp for the Maka h I n dia ns, The site is particu­ la rly importa n t since the adjacent a reas were waterlog ged, preserv­ ing the basketry, cordage, wood ­ worki ng too ls a n d other perish­ able a rtifacts nearly 3 , 000 yea rs ago, The second site, a rockshelter discovered in 1 980, dates back at least 1 ,000 yea rs , It is the only archaeological rockshelter of its

size ever fo u nd a long the North­ west Coast of North America , Accordi n g to C roes, "The two sites add up to one of th e most s i g n if i c a n t a rc h a eo l o g ic a l dis­ coveries in Washington for this decade , " Taken together, the two sites have yielded over 6 ,500 artifacts, ra ngi ng from wooden fish hooks and bas kets to cordage and wood­ worki ng tools , Most of the pieces go to the nea rby Ma kah Museum i n Neah Bay, which also dis plays many of the a rtifacts from the Ozette archaeological site, While O zette dates back 300 years, the Hoko River sites date back nea rly 3,000 years, filling in a l a rge time gap Along with each new artifact comes new i nformation about the h i sto ry of the Makah I n d i a n s , " Based on what we've fou n d , " explai ned Croes, "We c a n see that the Ma ka h I ndian Tribe had very sophisticated woodwo rking a n d basketry ski lls which date back at least to 1 ,000 B , C , They were also a bl e to make equip ment to a l low them to dee p-sea fish and bu ild la rge ca noes , " While C roes adm its that movie heroes l i ke I n d i a n a J o n es might i n c rease pu blic i n terest in ar­ chaeology, they might not g ive a rea l istic idea of what a rchaeolog ­ ists really do, As for h i s opinion of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark, he replied with a smile, "I fou nd the movie pretty slow, Archaeolog ical work is rea lly much more exciting tha n that .

Anticipating An Exciting Future Expanded programs, Better Research Facilities Among Features Of Planned Science Center Dr. Duane Swank

By Jim Peterson

A mood of anticipation a nd excitement can be felt in the Pacific Lutheran Un iversity Division of Natural Sciences this fall. After years of dreaming, waiting and planning, there is a g rowing realization that there will soon be a new Science Center on campus.

"We're close, very close," division chair­ man Dr. Duane Swan k observed recently with a smile . The scientist's matter-of-fact objec­ tivity was apparent. but he allowed himself to add, "More a nd more it is sinking in that it's gOing to happen, a n d it's making a differ­ ence."

There has been sig nificant prog ress in both dollars raised and planning details over the past three years, but it was the Board of Regents' September decision to proceed with a rchitects' detailed specifications that gave the decisive 'go' to the project.

It was a major psychological turning point for the science faculty and the "Sharing i n Strength" capital ca mpaign which is funding the project.

Swa nk anticipates a final review with a rc h itects from B roome, O r i n g d u l p h , O'Toole, Rudolf and Associates of Portland, are . , by the end of the yea r. The review will ,:ulminate countless hours of extra work by . science facu lty who first developed a com­ prehensive list of needs and then helped plan the facilities and specifications necessary to meet those needs, not only for the present, but for the foreseeable future.

Swank outlined some of the featu res ofthe new structure. "Biology and earth sciences will be located on the first floor in single purpose, self-contai ned l aboratories:' he said . "For the fi rst time in recent memory, field biology and molecular biology will be together. " Although the PLU pre-medical and pre­ dental prog rams have enjoyed an enviable .reputati on for many years, capabilities will be .?nhanced further by better surgical research facilities, he indicated.

The first floor will also be a faci nating place for visitors and non-science students. A large lounge and resou rce center will be located near the entry . Among a variety of displays will be the unique dioramas created by biology professor Dr. Jens Knudse n . They were a feature at Tacoma's Point Defiance Aquarium for many years.

The north wing of the building will house a large museum and the Irene Creso her-

ba rium. A 200-seat auditorium at the south end will be equ ipped with water, gas a nd a variety of electronic display features to enhance instructional capabilities. The au­ ditorium will also add to PLU's capabil ity to offer public lectu res and symposiums on scientific topics, according to Swank.

The dominant feature on the second floor will be a large, open, com bined chem istry and physics laboratory. The lab will be supervised every weekday into the evening hours, permitting more flexible schedules, more adva nced and comprehensive kinds of experiments, a nd much more i nteraction among students and faculty from several disci plines. "There will be a mix of different courses working at the same time, " the division chairman explained . "And we'll be able to expand interdepartmental lab prog ­ rams. " Swa nk continued, "The interaction among students a nd faculty from all of the discip­ lines will be a big plus that is hard to measure in adva nce . " The second floor also provides mathemat­ ics a nd computer science facilities - microp­ rocessor room, CPU (central processor unit) space, and a terminal room. Additional space is provided for faculty and student advanced resea rch.

"The popular computer science and en­ gi neering prog rams will have room to g row," Swank added. "We expect to be able to

enha nce our 3-2 engineering program, a nd there will be facilities to do some industrial chemistry . " He also observed that the modu­ lar design of the entire structure would allow for fluctuations in the size of the various disciplinary programs, and would also simp­ lify modular additions in the future.

Descriptions of tangible new laboratories, lecture rooms, displays, a nd equipment, however, cannot fully convey the faculty's: inta ngible antici pation of space- laboratory, space, research space, office space, storagel space and space making it possible for thel sciences at PLU to be together.

Unless one has studied or taught sciences' in Ramstad, Ivv, and other campus locations over the past 20 years, the significance of! these words may be lost.

Cramped and obsolete facilities have made it more a nd more difficult over the years to do science. Tiny offices have dou bled a nd tripled as research labs, resource centers and storage space. "We haven't obtained some equipment we would like to simply because we have no place to put it, " Swa nk observed .

It is a tribute to both faculty members and · students that high levels of accom plishment have been maintained in spite of the accom­ modations.

The sciences at PLU a re on the threshold of a new era . Most exhilarating i n the PLU Division of Natural Sciences today are the dreams of what the future has i n store

Contrast In Careers

Dr. Mary Lou Fenili

By Jim Peterson

When Dr. Mary Lou Fenili wal ked onto the Pacific Lutheran U niversity campus for the fi rst time several months ago, she had a feeling she described as "u ncan ny."

"It was almost as though I had always been here , " the new PLU vice-president for stu ­ dent life recalled . "There was a sense of peace and belonging. It was as though I had spent my whole life preparing for that day.

"I sensed a friendl iness, a sense of com ­ mun ity, " she added . " Everyone was warm a nd accepting, and I had the feeling they were interested in me . " She continued, "The interview was honest a nd a boveboard , a real dia logue with g reat responsiveness . 1 never felt like I was on a hot seat."

Perhaps Dr. Fen i l i 's recollecti ons were more vivid than most because of the contrast with the ambience from which she had recently come. For five previous years she had served as cou nsel to the Boa rd of Prison Terms, California' s pa role boa rd .

One can imagine the sta rk d ifference between sta nding in the long, dark shadows cast by the bleak stone walls of Folsom and Sa n Quentin prisons and "what it means to stan d in the warm light of reason and rationality at PLU , " she smiled . " Du ring those five yea rs I lived on a regular diet of robbery, rape, and murder, heavily laced with the poison of sad istic pleasure in . i nflicting pai n , " she adde-:J .

Prisons, Fenili observed, reduce l ife to its most basic a n d people to their most base.

New Vice-President For Student Life Reflects On Careers, Liberal Education

Little time is devoted to consider mora l dilemmas for there are n o n e there. Much time is devoted to plottin g . Debates are usually physical encou nters, and the only points are made by a "sh a n k , " a prison- made knife.

Fen i l i 's l ife has been ma rked by a series of contrasts. From the relative structure of a military fa m ily and the relative ca lm of u ndergraduate study at D.ouglass College ( Rutgers U n iversity), she was th rust into the middle of the turmoil and violence of the anti-war yea rs while serving as a dorm itory head resident, fi rst at Syracuse U niversity and then at the U n iversity of Southern Ca lifornia.

She . was at USC during the spring of 1 970, when the Cambodian bombings and the Kent State kil l i ngs u n leashed near a narchy on many college campuses. There were bomb scares i n the dormitory where she was s e rv i n g a n d i n te n s e emotional tu rmoil among the students.

For the next fou r yea rs Fen i l i held student services posts at Mills Coll ege in Oakland, Calif . , a small women's college. " It was much quieter," she remem bers, " but it was located right next to the ghetto, and to some people it was a symbol of what was wrong with American sQciety. At times we were walking a very fi ne l i n e . " Fenili today c a n feel tota l em pathy with college students as they struggle to find directions for their lives and careers. She has seen the tragedy of wasted lives and the frustration of undirected l ives . Even her own career path, though planned, has been u northodox.

Student services has long been her career goa l . But d u ring the a nti-wa r years she saw

that ( 1 ) there was an oversu pply of ca n d i ­ dates in h e r field with master's and doctor's degrees, many of whom were u nderemp­ loyed, and she needed an edge; and (2) it appeared that legal cou nseling would be an increasingly im portant facet of student ser­ vices. She decided on law school and earned her J . D . at the U n iversity of Santa Clara School of Law in 1 977. It was from that point that she e ntered the C a l ifornia cri m i n a l justice system .

Career counseling will b e an increasingly im portant function at PLU under Fen i l i . She can spea k from firsthand experience when she has the opportun ity to suggest to students, "Be daring. Take advantage of d ifferent abilities . Ca reers aren 't stra ight li nes necessa rily. They zig and zag . " The responsibilities of the vice-president for student l ife at PLU affect many areas on campus - counseling, ca m pus activities, residence hall life, hea lth services, student em ployment, a n d special program needs of mi nority and international students. ' ' I ' m busier than I've ever bee n , " Fen i l i said, "but I ' m where I want to be . " She is comm itted to the concept of li beral educa­ tion and is g rateful for the opportu n ity to be back in such an envi ron ment.

PLU. Parkland Fire Dept. Work To Insure Safety On campus D o z e n s o f safety measu res, large and small, taken d u ri n g the past three years at Pacific Luthe­ ran Un iversity, have made it one of the safest i nstitutions of its size anywhere .

The assessment was made by Parkland Fire Ch ief Les Flue re­ cently in response to concerns generated by a recent series of potentia lly dangerous small fire incidents at PLU .

Flue recently completed h i s first year as Parkland chief after two years as deputy ch ief. His tenu re has coincided with that of Kip F i l l more, safety and information di rector at PLU, whose d uties i nvolve the ca mpus' c losest work­ ing relationship with the fire de­ partment.

During that time the working re lationship has been close, cor­ dial, and cooperative, accord i ng to both Fillmore and Flue.

Fill more's respo n s i b i l i t i es i n ­ clude safety and secu rity proce­ du res on ca mpus. He has a lso been in strumental in helping plan and implement better fire lane access measu res. j i m Phillips , PLU physica l plant director, has g iven "virtu a l ca rte blanche approva l " of n u merous imp rovements sugg ested by the fire department. including the fire lanes and the moving or installa­ ti on of fire hydrants, the fi re chief noted .

F l ue l i sted a variety of additional measu res a i med at greater ca m ­ p u s safety and security: • When the new physical pla nt! general services com plex was b u i lt last year, the fire depa rt­ ment's advice was followed i n the i nsta l lation of hydrants, im proving efficiency and sav­ ing money. .. Fi re department advice re la­ tive to fire lanes and safety devices ( i ncl uding sprinklers) is being followed as a rch itectu r­ al plans a re being developed for the n ew P L U s c i e nce center.

• Each yea r the Residential Life office brings in fire officials to r e v i e w e m e rg e n c y p roce­ d u res with students, and each residence h a l l is in spected . Hall floor and wing su pervisors h a ve a d d i tional emergency tra i n i ng . Forms updating fire reg u lations and procedu res a re distributed to students . * The fire depa rtment is repre­ sented on a u niversity safety c o m m i tt e e t h a t m e ets monthly.

There re additional cooperative eff orts not directly related to ca mpus safety and security. For exa mple: .. F i re fig hters are g iven mem­ bers h i ps in the PLU Athletic C l u b, wh ich perm its free use of all physical fitness and re­ creation facilities.

Physical education professor Dr G a ry Chase h a s set up a physical fitness prog ra m for firefig hters.

• The fi re department has ac­ cess to printing and occasional photog raphy services at cost.

• Com puter services manager Robert De n n i n g has been working with the fire depa rt­ ment on com puter programs to improve record keeping and other procedures .

At the same time, PLU is working as ra pidly as possible to i m plement the most i mportant fi re safety mea s u res of all, smoke detectors and sprin klers, according to Perry Hend ricks, vice-president for fi ­ nance and operation s .

Ann ual expenditu res f o r s u c h measures a re diffi c u lt to deter­ mine when labor is i ncluded, but would reach into six fig u res, he i n dicated .

Flue explained that smoke de­ tectors provide the g reatest safe­ ty in residence halls because they provide an early warn i n g . They are being in sta l led in residence halls with priority based on various risk fact o r s . I n st a l l a t i o n h as been slowed by malfu nctions in the detectors, but the problem , w h ich resu lted in 55 false calls last year, is being corrected.

All dorms will have detectors within two years, Hend ricks indi­ cated.

There are sprin klers in some ca mpus b u i ldings at present. and a sprinkler was cred ited with red uc­ ing the damage from a trash c hute f i re i n Pf l u eg er Hall rece ntly.

Spri nklers, which are more effec­ tive for red u c i ng damage of equipment a nd facilities, will be included in new campus buildings.

"We are try i ng to antici pate potential incidents as much as possible and are taki ng every reasonable measure to prevent the m , " P LU presider1t Dr. Wi l li a m Rieke sai d . "We bel ieve w e are fulfilling our strong commitment to the safety a nd well-being of o u r students in our conti n u ing effort to upg rade eq u ipment and proce­ d u res . " Chi ef Flue concurred with the president's statement.

The project is fun ded by the Office of H u man Development Services of the U . S . Department of Health and H u man Services, and is di rected by Thelma Payne, profes­ sor of socia l work at PLU . "Com­ m u n ity agencies a re h u n g ry for this kind of trai ning," Payne sai d .

"Some h ave a ttended o n e or two­ day workshops, but there i s no followup with that system . We a re able to provide more effective train ing through ong o i ng ed uca­ tio n , su pervised work situations, and conti n ued follow u p . " The project provides i nservice tra i n i ng and tuition -free scholar­ sh ips for twelve currently emp­ loyed child and family welfare workers.

In addition, a l l participants will b e involved in a practicum where they w i ! ' receive s u p e rv i s i o n in a p p l y i n g t h e i r theoretical knowledge from class to practice.

The project also ical assistance to private and public welfare agencies

provides tech n ­ t h e numerous child and fa mily i n the reg io n .

Accord ing to Payne, "This will include assessing the'needs of the various agencies, seeing what re­ sou rces and services they do of­ fer, a n d how those resou rces and talents can best be shared with other agencies . " A t h i rd project task involves co mpiling an accurate di rectory of various agencies in the reg ion, com puteri zing it, a nd making it accessible to the public via tele­ phone.

Despite funding cutbacks i n the social services area , Payne has been successful in secu ring funds for si milar types of projects for the past fou r years. She believes one of the reasons for that su ccess is PLU 's i nvolvement in the com­ m u n ity. "Our prog ram is very active in the co m m u n ity. We have a good advisory committee i n P ie rce C o u nty w h i c h h e l p s eva luate the prog ra ms, sets direc­ tions for prog rams, and helps distribute p roject i nf o r m a ti o n .

What helps make us successful is t h e m a rr i a g e betwee n t h e theoretical knowledge base and practice.

Distinguished Ca m pus Quests Add L ster To Educational Experie nces

Dr. Billy Graham chats with students In Ingram Hall at PLU during filming of a scene for "The Prodigal, " a Worldwide Pictures production.

•

Less than 24 hours before the arrival of the King and Queen of Sweden, another internationally­ recognized figure, evangelist Dr. Billy Graham arrived on the PLU ca mpus to appear in a movie scene.

Dr. Graham and the roya l couple headed an un usually luminous list of prestigious ca mpus visitors during the fall season. Others included Dr. William Foege, direc­ tor of the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga., and assis­ ta n t U . S . s u r g e on - g e n e r a l ; Washington State Senator Henry Jackson, theologian Dr. Robert Jenson, and authors Tom Ha user and Jeremy R ifkin.

Several noted speakers visited campus In conjunction with the continuing schedule of Sca n ­ dinavia Today activities, including Swedish magazine editor Monika B o e t h i u s a n d N o rw e g i a n magazine editor Johan Hambro.

The Nov. 1 8 - 1 9 "Family Life in Scandinavia" conference boasted a host of noted participants from Norway, Sweden and the U.S. Graham spoke with a group of PLU students serving as extras for a seminary scene in the film, "The Prodigal ." The $3 mi llion movie, being filmed in various locations in Tacoma and Seattle, is produced

by Graham's company, Worldwide Pictures, Inc. One of the picture'S other stars, Joh Hammond, gained recent attention as the correspondent in the TV-movie, "The Blue and the Gray."

washington State senator Henry Jackson is inter­ viewed by campus media following a lecture at PLU in October.

Dr. Foege was on campus in conju nction with a speech to the PLU Q Club Fellows in Seattle.

During a question-answer session with students, the 1 957 PLU alum­ nus explained that the major health problems in America today are not caused by elusive bacteria, but by ciga rette smoking and alcohol abuse.

"About 1 ,000 Americans die ev­ ery day from health problems related to smoking," Foege sa id .

"If we had an infectious disease epidemic that took as many peo­ ple, we surely wouldn't tolerate it " He pointed out that the only mortality rate in the country that is increasing is the 1 6-to-24 age group, largely because of alcohol­ related accidents, homicides and suicides.

But luckily, he added, there seems to be a cha nging attitude toward d rinking drivers. He cre­ dited the national association of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) with helpi ng effect the change.

Foege, who also spearheaded the worldwide campaign to eradi­ cate smallpox some years ago, explained that a similar strategy is being used for measles. "On a given day there are not more than three or four people in the nation who have measles, and that's getting pretty close to brea king the chain," he said.

Senator Jackson emphasized his support for higher education and student financial aid during a

Jenson, who delivered the 5th

a n nual Beckman Memorial Lec­ ture, is the author of Lutheranism, a history of the Lutheran church, and numerous other works. Re­ flecting on the pending merger of ' Lutheran bodies in America, he recalled that Lutheranism began as a confessional movement, and was not originally intended to be a denomination.

A s PLU languages professors Dr. Janet Rasmussen and Audun Toven looked on, I Dr. Johan Hambro accepted the Pacific Lutheran University Distinguished service Award on campus recently. Hambro, of Oslo, Norway, is editor of The Norseman magazine. The secretary-general of the Norseman 's League since 1955, Hambro was honored for his many years of service on behalf of Norwegian-American relations.

The system, to be installed in Mortvedt Library and the PLU School of Business Administration, is the prototype of a new mode of d istributive library services on campus, according to John Heuss­ man, director of the library.

The system will be able to access holdings of the PLU library and 80 other members of the regional Washington Library Network, as

well as computerized library ser­ vices in Palo Alto and Sa n Jose, California, he ind icated . The WLN i ncludes l i braries in most Western states and Ca nada . PLU currently has 90 percent of its li brary hold­ i ngs i n the WLN network, more than any other academic libra ry, Heussman poi nted out.

Additional features of the sys­ tem i ncl ude the ca pa b i l i ty of searching computer-based busi­ ness indexes and abstracts, the

printing of bibliographic materials resulting from such searches, and an electronic message switching connection with many other lib­ raries.

Dr. Dwight Zulauf, professor of business administration, indicated that the system would give the school access to the latest in the rapidly-changing business infor­ mation field.

PLU Summer study Tou r TO Visit Exotic Lands Of weste rn China Thousands of Westerners, in­ cluding several groups from Pacif­ i c L u t h e ra n U n iversity, ha ve tou red the Peoples Republic of China during the past 1 0 years Most have visited the heav i l y populated eastern half of the country But there is another, exotic half of China that few Westerners ever see, a region only a small percen­ tage of Chi nese see, for that matter. The region includes Tibet, Mongolia and the vast provinces adjoining the Soviet border. This region is peopled by C h i n ese "mi norities" - those many offi­ cially recognized nationalities with Isla mic cultural ties and historic relationships with I ndia, Turkey, Southeast Asia and Siberia.

It is a land of mountains, de ­ serts, pastora l herding and tra ns­ portation by camel and horse.

There are 60 million people in the vast region, yet they represent only six percent of China's popula­ tion.

Originally blazed by C h i nese traders during the 2 nd century B . C , the major trade routes from West to East passed through the colorful region for nearly two millenia . When Marco Polo chose to visit China in the 1 200's, it was natural for him to take this route.

Since the development of sea trade, however, the Weste r n world has lost contact with the vast i nterior region.

It is this "Silk Road," or "Marco Polo Road," that a study tour from Pacific Lutheran U niversity will visit during June 1 983 . The group will depart J une 2 a nd return J u ne 24.

Days four through 18 of the

tou r will be spent in this exotic land, beg i nning with two days i n Xian, the a ncient capital and loca ­ tion of the newest archaeological wonder of the world - the vast underground terra - cotta ar my buried with the 1 st emperor of China over 2 1 00 years ago.

Four days will be spent in and near U rumQi, capital of China's westernmost province. The cul ­ ture there i s Central Asian n o m adic co m m u n es, goatskin tents, ca mels and horses. It is an oasis between the Golden Desert and the Tia n Shan Mountains.

Other tour sites include an old ghost city where treasure can still be found in the dust of the streets , ba z a a r s , t h e o l d est Buddhist shrines in China, Buddh­ ist caves, caravan stopover sites and g rottoes. Cities include Tur­ pan, Dunhuang, Liuyuan, JiuQuan and Lanzhou.

Traditional stops won't be ig­ n o red , h oweve r. Hong Kong, Gua ngzhou (Ca nton) and Beijing (Peking) a re also on the itinerary.

Purpose of the study tour, ac­ cording to tour leaders Dr. Greg Guldin and his wife, Mun-Jong Fung, is to exa mine China's a rtistic and cultural heritage, its relation­ ships with its minorities and how ' China looks at its past.

Both Guldin and his wife have taught courses on China and Asia at PLU, are tri- lingual (English, Mandarin, Ca ntonese), a nd have made numerous visits to China.

Cost of the tour from Seattle is $3698. Persons interested in this unique study tour may contact Guldin c/o the PLU Global Studies Program or call Fung at (206) 7592 1 69.

Annual Lucia Bride Festiva I To Be Held Dec. 3 The 34th a n n u a l Lucia B ride Festival at PLU features the singing of Ch ristmas carols, folk dancing, and the reading of the Legend of Lucia and the B i blical Christmas story . During the ceremonies, a seven -candle crown , sym bolizing seven vi rtues, is placed on the head of the Lucia B ride, the g i rl selected by the students to reig n over the festiva l.

The traditional p rog ra m will be held Friday, Dec. 3 , at 8 p.m. i n Eastvold Auditorium on the PLU cam pus. The campus chapter of Spurs, a national sophomore wo­ men's service organ ization, spo n ­ sors the event.

The Lucia Bride Festival is a p re­ Ch ristmas tradition of Scandina­ vian orig i n . I n Sweden the festival dates back to 1 665. The legend behind the tradition tells of a harsh year of fa m i ne i n the pro­ vi nce 's Lake Vanem. Early in De­ cember there appea red on the province's Lake Vanem a large white vessel with a bea utifu l . white-clad maiden at the hel m .

H e r head was encircled b y radiant bea m s . When the vessel reached shore, the maiden gave large quantities of food to the country fol k .

Other legendary accounts go back to a ncient Italy where a Christian g i rl was martyred at the stake d uring the reign of Diocle­ tian in 303 A . D . The story of her heroism later became pop u l a r with the Christian ized Vikings in Scan d i n avia and was the basis for a popular winter festival observ­ ance.

Today, young maidens from Scandinavian households rise at dawn on the shortest day of the yea r to prepare coffee a n d sweets for their fam il ies. One of the highlights of the PLU observa nce is the reception following the festival, where many kinds of.

Scand inavia n treats a re served .

During the holiday season the PLU Lucia Bride visits n u merous children's and retirement homes ' in the Puget Sound a rea .

Easy Gift TO Give'

Vita l TO Success Of Q C l u b Effort

By Edgar Larson Director of Plan ned Clvlng

B y David L . Berntsen.

Director of Development

An "easy" g ift may actu ally save you money ' A while ago I talked with a person a bout estate p l a n n ing, and a lso about the poss ib i l ity of i ndudi ng a beq uest to PLU in h i s w i l l . This indIvi dual. after m u l ling the iaea a round for a while, com mente that such a gift would really be a n "easy" gift to give. (What he meant by "easy" was that his estate would not be depleted d u ri ng h i s l ifeti m e ! ) He would set u p such a bequest or a desig nated a mount or percentage of h i s estate, and thus know that the necessary a rra ngeme nts were made. All in a ll, such a gift was "easy . " But another t h i ng ha ppened a s wel l . As this individual reviewed his will in order to bring a bout a bequ est to PLU, he also discovered some items that needed to be u pdated . I n fact. as a result of this u pdating, h i s estate will be able to save some money.

Such u pdati ng of a will ofte ntimes will turn up an item that needs to be changed. In addition, it is not u n l i kely that making such a change can save one's estate some money, either through tax-savings or a d m i nistrative costs.

Maybe making an "easy" gift to PLU might in the long run save you some money as well .

While a bequest affects one's estate at death, a charitable trust ca n provide some lifeti me benefits . Such benefits i nclude: Income, tax savings, more spendable in­ come, freedom from management worries, plu s the satisfaction of knowing a n eventual g ift will come to Pacific Lutheran U niversity .

U nder previous tax laws there were two types of "charita b l e trusts" ava i lable to in d ividu al s - namely, the charitable re m a i n ­ der u n ltrust a nd the charitable rema in der a n n uity trust. Recent tax leg islation has made it possible for a third type of charita ble trust.

This may appeal to some people who wish to provide assets for a s u rviving spouse, but with an eventua l gift tu Pacific Lutheran Un iversity.

The latest tax laws a llow an u n l i m ited ma rital ded uction at the death of the fi rst spouse. This means that at the fi rst spouse's death it is possible for the assets of that spouse to go into a charitable trust which will provide be nefits for the s u rvivi ng spouse, the assets in the charitable trust co uld be g iven to the U n iversity. In cases where there a re estate tax consequences to be consi­ dered, this type of plan could save taxes and provide a n u ltimate g ift to PLU All charitable trusts should be established only with the help of professiona l advisors, e.g . , your attorney and your accountant. PLU is also ava ilable to. assist you with you r questions in this area of fina ncial plan n i n g .

The deep co m m itment to PLU of the many vol u nteers a n d friends of the U n iversity with whom I have wo rked over the yea rs is very i nspi ri ng .

I ca n th in k of the many hours which former a n d present Q C l u b p residents a nd d irectors have spent in taking fr iends to U n iversity l ectu res, musica l events a nd athletiC con ­ tests .

I remember the enthusiasm which the C h a rter Members of the organ ization h a d for the i n itial idea of the Q C l u b - and how it would i m p rove the tie between the U n iversi­ ty a n d the commu nity. other friends and a l u m s who live some distance from the ca mpus have played key roles in tu rn ing areas l i ke Skagit Cou nty and Portl an dlVancouver i nto real sources of students a n d s u p port for PLU .

Closer to home, many vol u nteers have helped prom ote the Q C l u b a n d the U n iversi­ ty in the Puya llup a rea . Students from area schools and sign ificant finanCial contribu­ tions have resulted .

The value of one person - Y O U - can make a d ifference in the future of PLU . The Q Club started over ten years ago with a s m a l l g ro u p o f dedicated volu nteers. Si nce that time we've grown to over 1 000 strong and g iven well over $2% million to the U niversity.

Y o u r help is needed again this year. We need to have a record December to reach our goa l . You ca n h e l p by increa sing you r g ift, ide ntifying a prospect or by recruiting one new member.

Kramer E state I nc l udes A gift of over

$62,000

has been

received by Pacific Lutheran U n ­ iversity from the estate of Hilda S. Kramer, according to Director of Develop ment David Berntsen .

M rs .

Kramer worked for the

Weyerhaeuser Company for 22 years, retiring in 1 956. "She was a widow who didn't drive and her gift to PLU came as a result of m a ny kindnesses to her by people aSSOCiated with the U niversity," Berntsen said. "She was related to

I don 't l i ke bean sprouts on my salad . Never have. Never wil l . It's a l most as diffi cult for me to accept bea n sprouts in my theology. Let me explai n .

My theology, my study of God , was a ug mented this pa st summer by my viSit to the p risti ne a l p i ne wi lderness of H olden Village. This village of the C ascades , popu­ lated by learners and d i sciples, tourists a n d hitc h - h i kers, joggers a n d craftswom e n , schol ars, l iturg ists a n d vegetarians, has taken on for itself an i m measura b ly difficult teach­ ing task.

Somehow it calls or hopes to ca l l the c h u rch to a simpler l ife style - one that is less cons u m i n g , less poll uting, less wasteful. m ore dependent upon simpler and natura l modes of ag riculture, chea per transporta­ tion, etc.

In short, it intends to cal l the rich to live more si mply, so that the poor may sim ply live. Village ways and preaching confirm their i ntent.

This is no n ew element in our theology, this ca l l for for the sake of the poor. The proph ets of old always knew it. Jesus treated the poor with special com passion . And the early church has as a sacred duty to care for its less fortunate. No, it wasn't a new idea - but perha ps dormant for me and for many What was new was the im mediate upgrad­ i n g of my awa reness leve l . This upsurge of sensitivity wasn't a t a l l comfortable. Mealti me was the first place Holden made its poi nt!

I l ike to make my own decisions about what I eat. even thoug h I obviously have made some wrong ones. But beet sou p? And walnut bread ? Are they aware of what walnuts do to partial dentures? And always the bea n sprout ju n kies?

Of course I make too much of it. I a d m it I felt better after four days of this deli d i et than before. More than that. I beca me aware, reluctantly, of another way of looking at food, cons u m ptio n , and life style. Maybe, just maybe, the Holden folks a re rig ht.

Maybe the study of God is better u nderta ­ ken with a changed world view. At least one should affect the other. Being aware is not enough . We all k n ow that. But at least it is a start. Pass the bea n sprouts!

Al umni I nterest: Is A Ring Of Apathy Spreading ?

By Tracy Totten Member, Alumni Board

At our last A l u m n i Board meet­ i n g , th e chapter development com mittee was chal lenged with in itiating new chapters in eleven target areas : Spoka ne, Sa lem, Tri­ Cities, Eugene, Sacramento, Los Angeles, M i n n eapolis, Anchorage, Honolulu, Boise, & Billi ngs.

Cu rrently there a re only four chapters: Golden Gate, G reater Portland, G reater Sa n Diego, & Hong Kong .

The Seattle-Tacoma area was not included as a target area beca use the board felt with our school's activities so close, the alums i n this area wou ldn't ap­ preciate what a chapter cou ld offer: a sharing of w h at o u r school's cu rrently doing and en­ cou rag i n g t h e fel lows h i p o u r alums :;hould enjoy. Hence, the "ring of apathy" was phrased to describe the lack of chapter inter­ est in the sixty- mile school radius.

A salmon bake i n each target a rea has been plan n ed to get alums together to foster an inter­ est in beg i n ning these cha pters .

There have been four events so far with more to follow. The most recent " bake" was on a Su nday afternoon in Southern California, and also included a brand new video tape record ed message from our u n iversity . •

The sa lmon was delicious, the weather was good , and the video message was i nspiri n g . We had no Pro Footbal l to com pete with and our i nvitations said nothing about fund raising, yet we stili had a mediocre attendance (less than 1 0% of the alums contacted re­ sponded!. It appears our ri ng of apathy has spread to Southern Californi a .

Was i t dista nce that kept people away? Maybe, but we had a few couples who had driven more than an hou r to attend . More i mporta ntly, it all comes down to priorities and values . All of our l ives a re busy. That's the way life is, but is our business always focused i n t h e right direction ?

These sa lmon bake fellowships g ive us an opportu n ity to enjoy and share the rich heritage and m e m o r i es PLU has g iven us.

Everyone that attended PLU has been rewarded i n at least one of three different ways. 1 ) The PLU experience has helped us select and/or prepare for a career objec­ tive. 2) The PLU experience has provided us with lifelong friends .

3) The PLU experience has im pact­ ed our Faith .

If PLU has affected your l ife i n any o f these ways, should n 't you make time and enjoy this g ift with others who share it by attending an a l u m n i s po n sored event?

Please make a n effort to attend the next a l u m n i function in your city.

Alumni, Career Planning Offi ce Develop Alumni Resume Service

-

A resume clea ri ng se rvice for a l u m n i is being developed by the PLU Alumni Association in cooper­ ation with the PLU Caree r Pla n n ing and Placement Office .

Annou ncing the new service, Association President Paul Kusche of Gig Harbor 70 and G reg Freitag of Tacoma 71 noted that it is a part of an on -going process to sti mu late inLcrest, concern and interaction between the u niversity and its g raduates.

"This service is a positive re­ sponse to the economic times," Kusche said, "but it is not just for the u nemployed . Anyone who is u n d e re m p l oyed, or is seeking career change or e n h ancement, may use it. " I nterested a l u m n i are e ncour­ aged to contact the PLU Caree r Plan n i ng and Placement Office di rected by Richa rd French. "We will send the a l u ms a resume release waiver to be filled out and returned with a resu me," French explained . "Resu mes will be kept on file for six months fol lowing receipt."

I n addition, the Alumni Associa­ tion plans to contact alumni who a re employers and encou rage them to use CPPO to fill their e mployment needs, Kusche indi­ cated . Interested employers are asked to contact C PPO as wel l .

Though the n u m ber of firms cond ucti ng interviews on ca m pus has declined during the recession, several a re scheduled during the s p ri ng . They i n c l u d e National O cea n a g ra p h i c Ad m i n i st r a t i v e Agency, SIDCO resta u rant chai n , Seattle Fi rst National Ba nk, Fires­ tone Tire and Rubber Com pany, AETNA Employee Benefits a n d AETNA Casualty a n d Life, All State I nsura nce, I nternal Revenue Ser­ vice, and b ranches of the U .S a rmed forces.

An additional dozen firms have i ndicated tentative ca mpus i nter­ views.

Alu m n i may schedule appoi nt­ ments with these interviewers on a time avai lable basis, French said.

Lutes Finish Football Season 7-2-, Miss Playoffs After Linfield Loss For the first time since 1 978, the PLU football tea m was forced to follow the NAIA Division I I national football playoffs through news media accounts rather than from the playing field.

The Lutes were eliminated from post-season play by archrival lin­ field in the season's final ga me, 27-7. The young PLU squad, with only six seniors, had gone into the game with one loss. Linfield was undefeated and ranked number two i n the nation.

Both Lute setbacks occurred in Oregon Territory, On Oct. 2, Ore­ gon Tech, a ranked Division I team, won 45-27. Running back Johnny Barnett triggered the Tech victory with a 290-yard rushing perform­ ance. Linfield was aided in its victory by six Lute turnovers.

After spending the season in the Division II top 1 0, the Lutes fi nish­ ed n umber 1 3 in the final NAIA poll. On the plus side, PLU u pped its still-a live home winn ing streak to 24 ga mes with Franklin- Pierce Stadium victories over Southern Oregon, Central Wash i ngto n , Lewis and Cla rk, Whitworth and Pacific, 1 982 was another record-break-

ing season for the Lutes' junior q u a rterback Kevin Skogen. He connected on 1 30 throws in 246 attempts for 1 600 ya rds, with the former and latter marks bettering his own school standards of 1 25 and 1 595. Skogen's favorite target was senior tight end C u rt Rodin, who was forced to miss the pivotal Linfield game with a bruised thigh.

The Lutes, second in the North­ w e st C o n f e r e n c e ( 4 - 1 ), got league-leading statistica l per­ formances from junior fullback Jeff Rohr, sophomore safety Don Coltom, and freshman defensive back Drex Zimmerman. Rohr won the NWC rushing title, scampering 681 yards. Coltom picked off six errant passes, while Zimmerman averaged 22,4 yards per tote on kickoff retu rns.

A Brief Glimpse at pacific Lutheran University past Everything was happening at once in 1890. William Wilson de­ cided to plat his 320-acre farm south of Tacoma into a city called Parkland. The Northern Pacific Railroad arrived and so did Bjug Harstad, a Norwegian pastor from the Midwest.

An agreement among Wilson, Harstad, and investor Ward Smith brought new settlers to Parkland and income to be used by Harstad to found Pacific Lutheran Univer­ sity.

In the spring of 1891, "Old Main" (now Harstad Hall) was rising on the Parkland prairie. It was a remarkable structure for the time and place and helped attract the settlers who gradually established a recognizable Parkland com­ munity.

PLU began as an academy. In 1921 it became a junior college; 10 years later it was a three-year normal school. In 1939 it was a four-year college of education and two years later became a liberal arts college. University status was achieved in 1960.

The institution grew slowly through its first 50 years but began to boom after World War II. The size of the graduating class doubled to 100 in 1949, reached 300 in the early '60s and has leveled off to between 650-700 annually during the 70s and early '80s.

Prior to 1946 there were only two permanent buildings on cam­ pus. The next quarter century saw nearly one new building a year for a total of 22 by 1970.

From its humble beginnings, Pacific Lutheran University has become a vital Northwest center for contnuing education, cultural activities, recreation, enterta i n -' ment and intellectual and spiritual resources. Along with a high quali­ ty, diversified education program, it offers students a positive Chris­ tian emphasis as a foundation for building responsible citizenship and a commitment to service.

Greetings From The President Of pacific Lutheran , university The Festivities surrounding the Tacoma Dome opening are more than the excitement of initiating a new and beautiful facility. It is a celebration joining all elements of a large, progressive and interde­ pendent community.

Pacific Lutheran University is proud to be a vital and contribut­ ing part of the Tacoma-Pierce County community. I invite you to explore this magazine to find out what we are all about, to discover the many enriching events and special activities that are offered to the people of our area in

addi t i o n t o o u r a c a d e m i c program.

I most warmly invite you to come to the campus of Pacific Lutheran University to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings, to attend a concert or play, to play golf or to swim, to watch a sports event - or, of course, to enroll in one or several classes.

Our goal is to help enrich both your present - and your future.

PLU Eagerly Anticipates Construction Of New Science. Music Facilities On Campus A mood of anticipation and excitement can be felt at Pacific Lutheran University this spring as the campus eagerly await s groundbreaking for the new cam­ pus Science Center.

The Center is one of two major new buildings to be funded by PLU's "Sharing in Strength" capital and endowment fund campaign.

A new Music Center is also plann­ ed. Now in its fourth year, the campaign has also financed other campus renovations and remodel­ ing, is strengthening the Universi­ ty's endowment and will eventual­ ly include a Scandinavian Cultural Center.

Like the various new construc­ tion, renovation and restoration projects planned or underway in Tacoma, PLU's capital plans were n o t undertaken during ideal economic times. But the need was pressing and the PLU Board of Regen t s a n d a d m ini s t r a t i o n moved ahead. Their faith in the future of PLU and the community is being justified.

Relying entirely on private con­ tributions, Pacific Lutheran has reached out to its alumni, the church, corporations, founda-

tions, businesses and private citi­ zens to assist with the $ 16.5 million effort. The response has indeed been gratifying, according to PLU President Dr. Wlliam O. Rieke.

Early in the campaign an internal drive on campus generated more than $% million with 75 percent of PLU personnel participating. "It was a powerful statement to other potential donors that the campus is totally committed to the success of the bold 1980's venture," ob­ served the campaign chairman, Luther Bekemeier, PLU's vice-pre­ sident for development.

The new PLU Science Center will be a fascinating place for both students and visitors. The first floor will feature a large lounge and resource center. Among a variety of displays will be the u n i que educational dioramas created by PLU biology professor Dr. Jens Knudsen. They were a popular attraction at Tacoma's Point Defiance Aquarium for many years.

The north wing of the building will house a large museum and the Irene Creso Herbarium. Creso, a

retired PLU biology professor, has made the herbarium a personal labor of love for many years. It features samples of many of the flora and fauna species found in the Puget Sound region.

A 200-seat auditorium at the south end will be equipped with water, gas and a variety of elec­ tronic display features to enhance instructional capabilities. It will also add to PLU's capability to offer public lectures and symposiums on scientific topics.

Popular computer science and engineering programs will have room to grow and there will be facilities to do some industrial chemistry.

Although the PLU pre-medical and pre-dental program have en­ joyed enviable reputations for many years, capabilities will be enhanced further by better surg­ ical research facilities.

Plans for th'e music center re­ cently reached the drawing board stage. While its primary purpose is to vastly enhance instructional and practice capabilities, now scat­ tered in diverse locations across campus, it will also provide an excellent mid-sized concert hall for a wide array of musical prog­ rams.

Both new facilities will add a vital new dimension to the intellectual and cultural enrichment of the Tacoma-Pier ce C o u n ty c o m ­ munity.

Historic PLU··UPS Football Rivalry Resumes This Fall in Tacoma Dome The first collegiate sports con­ test to be held in the new Tacoma Dome will renew a historic Tacoma gridiron rivalry that goes back more than a half century.

The 58th meeting of the Pacific Lutheran University Lutes and the University of Puget Sound Loggers will be held Saturday, Sept. 17, under sponsorship of the Tacoma Athletic Commission.

According to TAC President Don Smith, his organization plans to make this dome game an annual promotion. Game revenue will be divided evenly between the two schools.

PLU and UPS have followed different football paths si nce 1979. UPS has previously been an NCAA Division II member, and PLU has been affiliated with the NAIA Division II Northwest Confernce.

This year UPS joined with the NAIA­ affiliated Evergreen Conference.

The resumption of the historic series was announced jointly by PLU Athletic Director Dr. David Olson and UPS Athletic Director Dr. Jack Ecklund March 27.

The completion of the Dome and resumption of the series is a "fortunate coincidence," Olson observed. "We are grateful to TAC for its sponsorship and promo­ tional assistance," he added.

Lute football coach Frosty Wes­ tering said, "It will show the class of the two programs, with lots of kids from Tacoma, Seattle, West­ ern Washington and Northern Oregon playing."

Gametime will be 7:30 p.m.

Ticket information will be released as soon as details are worked out.
