aware of this explosive situation. I need not document it. The fact that crime of every sort is increasing at a rate far ex­ ceeding population growth is another tragic indicator.

the last three or four years have been far greater than the changes which occurred in the previous forty. In view of this fact, it is not strange that responsible leaders do not always have immediate replies to all problems. Before one set of important decisions has been implerrented, a changed student body presents a totally new set of requests or, in some instances, demands. Since by definition an educated man is a deliberative and informed person, it is frequently impossible to arrive at the requested decisions with the speed impa­ tient students deem desirable. The result is friction, misunderstandings, possible

All the Change Is Not Bad From my point of view. all of the changes which have occurred are certainly not bad; many are constructive. The involvement of students in the struggle for integration, when properly restrained, has been admir­ able. The involvement of students in the Peace Corps and other forms of service to humanity is inspiring. The sacrificial social service of students, including hundreds at PLU, is admirable. The concern of the youth of the American Lutheran Church to solve the problem of hunger in the world is praiseworthy in the extreme. The desire of students to share responsibly in the life and work-including planning and admin­ istration-of their colleges and universities is commendable. Youth has much to offer: energy, idealism, creativity, enthusiasm, sincerity, and much more. But youth does not have, and cannot be criticized for not having, the qualities of heart and mind which ordinarily accompany wide experi­ ence, maturity, and ultimate responsibility.

It is one thing to criticize, to urge action, to engage acidly in debate; it is another thing to have to bear the full responsibility for decisions made and actions taken.

Somehow and in some way, youth must be led to see that they do not have all the answers; nor are their elders always wrong. Balance, sensitivity, respect, cour­ tesy, are still the marks of a responsible person, be he young or old.

recriminations, and ultimately irresponsible action, even violence. Were an administra­ tion to respond to all the requests of a continuously changing student body, it would zig and zag on a path leading to disaster. A good college or university will, only to its peril, ignore its history, tradi­ tions and purposes. Unfortunately, most students are sadly uninformed about the history of the institution they may happen to attend. Action, immediate action, is the current watchword. The older generation is "square," not "cool," "out of touch" with reality. This in spite of the fact that the older generation is largely responsible for the fact that educational institutions exist at all.

The general background for what hap­ pens on the campuses of the country is, of course, the mood of violence which characterizes the mentality of tens of thousands of the general populace. If de­ mands are not met, get what you want by violence. Every re;ader of the news is

By and large, we have as fine a student body as can be found. The great ma j ority come from good homes, although dis­ c i pline in many of t h e homes may have become regrettably relaxed. Most of our students probably have at least a sub-con­ scious yearning for the security which ac­ companies Christian faith; otherwise they would not be h ere. But it would be sheer folly to assume t h at all of our students are here because of our expressed Ch ristian concern; some could not care less. Some o penly declare their atheism. Some con­ fidently expect to break every regulat ion we h ave, including those related to alco­ hol and drugs. Already there are a few demands that t h e requirements for courses

Perhaps the most disturbing elements in our current environment is t h e stress by a vocal mi nority upon the concept of "stu­ dent power." The record. I believe. will show that for some time it has been recognized that student participation in policy formation is desirable. The faculty voted last year to permit students to sit as advisors on most faculty committees. t h us enabling students to voice their views. On some committees, students also h ave vot­ ing rights. Before, h owever, the new sys­ tem could even get well started, voices were raised for full voting rights; demands were made for a full revelation of Uni­ versity finances, etc. It was presumed by

There are colleges where such condi­ tions are acceptable. If that is the type of institution students and parents desire, their choice should be clear. PLU is not that type of institution. At present it does not intend to be. We are seeking to offer an excellent education within a framework of Christian commitment. These are not

some students that, in consequence of t h e payment of fees, they are entitled t o know the most intimate details of t h e University's financial o perations.

It has been pointed out that the Regents are responsible for t h e financial opera­ tions of the University, for proper audits, for proper financial controls. There are no secrets about University operations, but there are proprieties which will be ob­ served,

empty words. The freedom we shall strive to inculcate is the freedom to learn, to inquire, to serve, to love-based on the greatest document related to freedom the world has ever known-the inspired Word.

The concept of "student power" is for­ e i gn and dangerous to all higher educa­ tion in America. It is particularly dangerous on such a campus as ours. Student par­ t icipation-yes; student sh aring-yes; stu­ dent involvement-yes; but not "student power."

it should have been

the activities of the Reformation. This third-rate university spawned and contin­ ued to feed one of the most significant movements in Western history.

The vagaries and ironies of history are extremely difficult to translate into mean­ ingful patterns. The role of the University of Wittenberg in the Reformation is a classic example of the impossibility of prediction in the drama of history.

To be entirely accurate I would have to say that it was the coming together of a sorely troubled man - Luther - and the University in the midst of sorely troubled times that brought the insights and activi­ ties we commemorate today.

Luther did not want to be a college pro­ fessor; he had no plans to permanently associate himself with any university in any capacity. His vocational plans, espe­ cially after 1505, were not at all well-de­ fined. They were mostly colored by and tied to his extraordinary religious search­ ing and unrest. He began law school in 1505 pushed by his father who wanted him to be a success in life. The law of­ fered great possibilities to aggressive and ambitious young men. But he quick1ly dropped out of law school. He dropped out to become a monk.

He became a monk to save his soul.

That fact is absolutely clear. Luther was desperately concerned with tme problem of how to find a righteous God so he could save his soul; he thought becoming a monk would help solve the problem. The monks, after all, were spiritual athletes and their exertions - performed in isolation, away from the evils of the world-would ensure access to God after death.

It did not work that way for Luther, al­ though it was not for lack of trying.

a monk much longer.

Luther tried all the available methods and means of medieval soul cure: (1) self­ help or good works, (2) penance, the sac­ ramental system, (3) and the way of the mystic (sinking into the abyss of the God­ head through contemplation). None of them helped. He saw only an angry, de­ manding God who was never satisfied with man's exertions. "Love God," Luther cried out in desperation, "I don't love God, I hate God." In his mounting anguish and despair he was increasingly beset by what he called Anfechlungen. Luther described Anfechtungen "as the terror the individual feels in the moment he is confronted with some dark aspect of God." Luther needed a road map of salvation and he could only see what he called the "masks of God." Roland Bainton has said the word has no equivalent in English, but is "all the doubt, turmoil, pang, tremor, panic, despair, deso­ lation, and desperation which invades the spirit of man."

In the midst of such desolation and despair, as he searched for a righteous God, Luther's spiritual adviser and monas­ tic superior, Staupitz, decided that he should be a university professor. One has to admire the bravery as well, as ,the spir­ itual and psychological insight of Stau­ pitz, for Luther was obviously not a well­ adjusted and well-balanced young man.

Luther said pursuing the doctorate as a preparation for teaching would kill him.

On one occasion while I was sitting under the pear tree, which still today stands in the middle 01 my yard, Staupitz my prior, said to me: 'Master, you should work lor a doctorate;

They then proceeded to sack the home, breaking into a recently purchased supply of medicine and food.

Viet Nam is her country: her birthplace and home. And it is also the home of her family. However, while her mother lives

"The Viet Cong took all the medical sup­ plies they could carry, plus blankets and sheets for bandages," she said. "However," she added, "they left the sheet under the sleeping baby."

After the capture, she said, members of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, of

within the secu.re confines of a U. S. Army­ held community, her father roams through­ out South Viet Nam as a prisoner of the Viet Congo Five years ago in the Dariac Province

which Rev. Mitchell was a member, hoped that the three would be returned.

The Rev. T. Grady Mangham, director of the missionary operation, was quoted in a newspaper story as saying: "The guerrillas had assured the nurses that they would not harm the three. They evidently needed Dr. Vietti to perform an amputation."

highlands the guerril'las kidnapped Rev. Archie E. Mitchell from the leprosarium he operated near Banmethuot. Miss Mitchell was there, and she remembers it as if it happened yesterday.

In addition to her father, the Viet Cong took two other American missionaries: Dr. Eleanor A. Vietti of Houston, Texas; and Daniel Gerber of Dalton, Ohio.

About one month after the inc'ident the New York Times reported that U,S. military

officials had learned that the three mission­ aries were being used to treat wounded Viet Congo

groups. Several of the guerrillas captured Gerber and a missionary nurse just out­ side the grounds, while the other group went to the Mitchell home.

They grabbed Rev. Mitchell while Re­ becca and her younger brother stood by.

Mrs. Mitchell was in the house with the baby, and when she came out the Viet Cong also

grabbed her,

The story also reported that the three were in good health and were hot being mistreated. Search operations were called off for fear that the guerrillas might harm the missionaries if a pursuit were pressed.

Even at this point, Miss Mitchel'l said. it was hoped that the Viet Cong would re­ lease their prisoners as soon as they had

The so-called s i m p l e will is no l onger in vog u e and most lawyers know that m ore p l a n n i n g is req u i red if widows , widowers a n d fam i l ies a re to be protected a n d taxes are to be saved. More people a re now using t h e so-ca l l ed testamentary trust, a provision esta b l i shed by w i l l to provide for the care, s u pport, ed ucation and main­ tenan ce of a su rviving fam i l y .

They m ight b e referred t o as "old w i d ow's tales. " Here are some of them: F I RST FALLACY: THE COST OF P R O BATE IS EXCESS I V E .

T h e fact i s t h a t , i f a m a n l eaves h i s h ouse i n order, the cost o f probate o f h is estate w i l l not be too m u c h , considering the time spent, the respon s i b i lit ies as­ s u m e d , the am ount involved, the d i fficu lties e ncounte red and the res u lts a c h i eved . O u r State S u p reme Cou rt h a s p rescribed sev­ e ra l i n dicia w h i c h g u i d e lawyers a n d ad­ min istrators i n the f i x i n g of probate fees.

In Californ i a , I owa, and some other states, the fees of lawyers and executors are f i xed by statute. They are not i n Wash­ i n gton . H e re it is a p propriate for fa m i lies to d iscuss fees with their lawyers in ad­ vance of the p roceed i n g and d u ri n g the cou rse of It-j ust as they wou ld the b i l ls of dentists or su rgeons.

T H I RD FALLACY: A T W O - P A G E W I L L I S LONG E N O U G H A N D A GOOD WILL S H O U L D B E G O O D FO REVER. M ore t h a n 40 years ago, Calvin Cool idge left a w i l l wh i c h stated s i m p ly, " I give a l l to my wife, G race, and name her ex­ ecutrix . " Cal was a man of few words, b ut he d i e d in a time of few taxes. Further­ more, he did n ot l ive or d i e in the State of Was h i n gton where many ot h e r provisions must be i n c l uded to make a wiH valid.

A recent will c om i n g across my desk gi ves an exam ple of the need for m ore expla nation and l o n g e r rec itals than thos e in a s i m pl e two-page w i l l . A man had been widowed and remarried. He wanted to provide for his second wife and for h i s own c h i l d r e n .

At s o m e length, he e x p l a i n e d h ow l ong they had been married, the ages and resi­ dences of his c h i l d re n and stated that h i s h ome was "sepa rate p roperty , " ow ned be­ fore t h e secon d marr iage, and recited when an d how h e ha d paid for it. T h e n h e de­ clared w h e re h i s assets could be located -his b a n k accounts, safe deposit box, in­ surance p o l i c ies and securities. By using a few extra pages , he has p robably avoided s e r i ous troubles and heartache an d has savedl his executor and lawyer time and m oney.

in two days, we had invested the money in bonds earn i n g 5.3% which we s h a l l hold unti l the estate is ready to c l ose. The in­ come on that investment, $4,770, will far exceed the a d m inist rator's fee which we s h a l l charge.

I n many states, it is considered h ighly imp rope r to have parents or relatives serve as g u ardians of the estates of th e i r c h i l d­ ren, and for good reason. Most of them d o not know how to serve as g uard ian, how to keep accounts, h ow to invest the prope rty of others and h ow to report to the court.

An exam ple may be i l l ustrative : A Uni­ versity of Wash ington professor and h is wife l ived in the north end . Their s i x-year­ old c h i l d had inherited about $ 1 0 , 000 from h is g randfather. The professor was named as g ua r d ian.

A few years later he came before the P robate Court for approval of his account.

He had spent the $ 1 0 , 000 to make a down pay ment on a house in Hawth orne H i l ls for h i mself and h is wife. The fact that it was the b oy 's money d i d n ot s i n k i n .

He c o u l d n ot bel ieve it w h e n h i s account was d isapproved and h e was told to pay back the m oney with interest. He never s h ou l d have been appointed in the first in­ stance. To make it worse, the professor d i d not have the $ 1 0 ,000, was n ot ade­ quately bonded and we had to a l l ow h i m m a n y months t o raise t h e money.

A d is i n terested t h i rd party, finan c i a l l y stab le a n d adequately b o n d e d , or a ban k or trust com pany sh ou l d h ave been ap­ pointed guar dian.

A s k i l l e d , c om petent guardian or ex­ ecutor can often save the estate m ore than the a m ou nt of its fee. We have been probating in King Cou nty an estate which came to IJ S from Cal iforn i a wh ere t�e de­ cedent d ied. He left a tract of forest l and near D u va l l worth about $60,000. We were asked to put the land th rou g h p robate and to h old the proceeds intact until the Cali­ forn ia estate was ready to be c l osed in about 18 months.

Within a few weeks, we had the land app raised, obta i ned permission to sell it, fou nd a b uyer and received $60,000. With·

S I XTH FALLACY: IT TAKES TWO TO THREE YEA RS TO CLOSE A N ESTATE A FTER T H E C O M M E N C EMENT OF P R O­ BATE This is s i m p l y not true, and espec i a l l y so after the n e w p robate code w e n t into effect on J u l y 1 , 1 967. The new law sim pli­ fies and s h ortens the p roceed ing, and it should be possible in a s i m p l e case to c l ose it up in five to six months.

N ot every estate can be disposed of that q u i c k l y . I f it is a c om m u n i ty estate of less than $1 20,000, one year s h o u l d be enough.

A b ov e that, we become involved with the Federal Gove rn ment and the I n ternal Reve­ nue Service.

That department i s now 18 m onths be­ h ind in the a u d iting of large estates and lawyers and executors are unable to shorten the period . I t is poss i b l e , however, for a good attorney to arrange for an early d istribu tion of most of the assets, leaving i n the estate o n ly enough to satisfy pos­ sible tax l i a b i l ities.

SEVENTH FALLACY: THE PROCEEDS OF L I FE I NSURANCE P O L I C I ES SHOULD B E P A I D T O T H E W I DOW I N A L U M P S U M .

A few years a g o , s ome o f u s t r i e d to mai ntain $ 1 0,000 or s o in life insurance.

TE NTH FALLACY: AN Y LAWYER CAN D RAFT A GOOD WILL O R TRUST I N STRU­ M E NT. The legal profession is the last to a d m i t that i s has b e c o m e specialized. Law has become many ti mes as c o m p l e x as i t was when some of us e nte red the practice 20 to 30 years ago. P hysicians have been s pecializing fo r 40 years and t h e i r type of practice has been public ized on thei r bill h eads a n d in the "yellow pa ges." Even clergymen a re specialists now; some are preac h e rs, some are fam i l y co uns e l o rs, some are music d i rectors and others a re mo ney ra ise rs.

Lawyers a l so have fou nd that the d raft­ i n g of w i l l s and trust inst ru m e nts req u i res constant researc h , extra study and legal refreshers. They have learned that they m u st work in many cases with life u n d e r­ writers and accou ntan ts, many of whom also special ize in t h is f i e l d .

We who h a v e fo l lowed the probate field have long been c o n c e rned for fami lies who h ave needed but n ot had the rig ht advice w h en they most needed it. We have a l l h e a rd these t e n o l d wives' tales, b u t have failed to sto p them from b e i n g repeated and e m be l l i shed.

Thank heaven t h e re is now m o re i n terest in t h i s s u bj e ct than at any time in the past 30 years. Let us hope that, out o f the magaz i n e a rt i c l es and p u b l i c discuss i o n s , we shall b e a b l e to have a m o re e n lig ht­ ened p u b l i c an d more capable and i n t e l li ­ gent plan n i n g f o r the future.

Yet the pres ident as p romoter is only a part o f wh at an i nstitution needs. He s h o u l d be an educational leader, first of all-such leaders h i p req u i res high intel lec­ tual command o f the old and new issues of acad e m i c l ife. Men with such command are rare.

In the last fifteen years the tuition c h a rg e at fi rst-rate private i n stitutions has t r i p le d-an average rate o f inc rease of about 7 or 8 per cent a year. T h e re is l ittle evidence that the i n c reases have been excessive. They have certainly in­ c reased the u rgency of fu l ly develope d student fin ar:1cial aid programs. They have also i n c reased the att ractiveness of pub­ l i c institutions, b u t they have not destroyed the strong appeal o f good private col leges.

They have underpinned an overdue in­ c rease in the salary scale of the academic profession. But there i s now a q uest ion whether tuit o n can continue to rise at recent rates without h andicapping both st udents and pa rents.
