I often wonder if it will occur by exposure. B ut then I reca l l how I have learned to admire and love certain pe o p l e ; a prin c i pal factor has always been contact. You cannot love a pe rso n yo u do not know. You cannot en joy a game or sport in which you have not in som e way been involved. I t is o n l y w h en you h o l d a baby in yo u r arms - particu l a r l y one of you r own - that you really know the meaning of lov i n g a child.

To be totally hon est, I sometimes won der if I myself have experien ced t rue wor sh i p more than a few times i n my life. I am not concerned solely about you. I am pro fo u n d l y concerned about myse l f . Most o f y o u p resu mably have many more years t o k e e p o n striving than I have. A l t h o u g h t i m e daily r u n s out for a l l of us, much m o re of my l ife is behind me than is before m e - a t least i n t e r m s of days and years. All o f the com ponents related to worship w h i c h I have mentioned - sin gin g , ch u r c h attendance, se rmons, sym bo l s, etc. - can be, and often are, a part o f wors hip; but none is a g uaranteed, money-back assur ance o f acc o m p lish ment, n o matter how often repeated. orship

What is Worship?

and Struggle

A sim p l e definition of worship - although stil l a l most incomp rehensible - is that it is the ineffable sense o f bein g su rrounded by, l ifted up, made clean and h u m ble by an awareness of the g lo rious beauty, good ness, p u rity, love and majesty of the Cre ato r o f the U n iverse. Is it reaso nable t o suppose that you can have such an experience by accident? Is it reasonable to suppose that those who know so me t h i n g about this experience mig ht want you to have it also? A l l of you have at one time or other stood in a lonely p lace beneath the inde scriba b l e beauty of a night sky fil l ed with scintil lating stars. The sheer beauty of it a l l has caused a l u m p to rise in you r t h roat. You have fe l t that it was won d e rfu l to be alive. You have marve l l ed at the immensity of the u n iverse. At those mo me nts, you were close to worsh i p . Many o f yo u, o f both sexes, have per haps held the hands o f a friend, looked into his or her eyes, and sai d , " I love you with my whole bei ng; there is nothing I wo u l d not give you o r do fo r you; I'd

At so me t i m e in your l ife, a l l of yo u , I a m sure, have st ruggled w i t h a l l yo u r m i g h t and reso u rces to g a i n a partic u la r objec tive, so methin g of s u p reme importance to you . Maybe it was to win a race, to make a touch down, to get a date w it h a partic ular boy or g i rl , to pass an exami n a� i o n , to p l ease mother o r dad, to get a raise in pay, to save you r life. How many of you have ever, to yo u r knowledge. stru g g l e d and strained and app lied all o f your me ntal and spiritual resources t o the specific end o f worsh i p ping God? To how many of you has it eve r occu rred that yo u might have to exert you r full resources to attain a sense of worship? Be honest. G ive you rself a candid answer. Haven't you assumed that worshi p is something that j u st n aturally happe ns? that it isn't very excit i ng? that God some how awes you? Paradoxical ly, wo rship is n o r mally m o re diffic u lt to attain than any of the effort demanding acts mentioned a moment ago. I n fact, wors h i p is the most demandin g ,

g ladly g ive my l ife for you." In smarl meas ure, this situation presents an analogy, a s i m p le anal ogy, of the mean i n g of wors h i p . Some of you have stood in awe when c ircu mstances perm itted you to see an act o f matc h l ess b ravery. Again you have ex perienced a vague analogy of the mean ing o f wors h i p . U n t i l the d a y comes, and I h o p e i t will b e soo n , when an u n containable inner co m p u l s i o n re q u i re s you to say, " Lo r d , I ' m alone; I'm afrai d ; II can 't s e e m y way; I am utterly sick of try i n g to depend upon my own meager resou rces; I dare not face the future without your hand aro u n d mine; p l ease, God, take my life and use i t ac cord ing to your p u rposes" - I say, ullt i l s u c h a day comes, y o u w i l l n o t have ex per i e nced the true mean i n g of wors h i p . Wors h i p is a sens e of utter dependence u po n God, o f u nspeakable than kiulness to God , of b e i n g com p l ete ly s u r ro u n ded by God's love and God's power. Worsh i p i s the single most i m portant experien c e in l ife. That is why the A r ch bishop o f Can terbury uttered these words in the m i dst of the dark, dark days of Wo rld War J.I. "This wo r l d can be saved from pol itical chaos and col lapse by one th ing on ly, and that is wors h i p ." A n d then h e proceeded to define wors h i p in these words. 'To worship is to q u i c ken the con s c ience b y the h o l i ness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to open the h eart to the love of God, to devote the p u rpose to t h e will of God."

are s u re, and God 'has said, "Whatsoever you s h a l l ask in my name, believing, you shp,1I rece ive." We bel ieve it because Ch rist, God's son , gave His l i fe for us; He made some pro m ises ; He cannot lie. C h apel ( i n c l u d i n g student cong regation) is the o n e place o n this campus where we can g uarantee there is a chance, even a slim chance, tl1at someth i n g may be said or sung o r seen that can kindle a s park of wors h i p in someone's heart. It is here that you can l isten to God's word, where you can s i n g t h e g r eat h y m n s w h i c h have e m e rged from 2,000 years of C h ristian striving. All these thi ngs are l i ke the setting for a d i amon d. You d o n ' t d i splay the radiant flas h i n g o f a d iamond by inserting it in a ball of m u d . Y o u t ry to create an adeq uate setting for it. H u n d reds o f t h i n g s at PLU are identic al with those at any other good school. The one t h i n g which sets us apart is o u r an n o u nced pu rpose of attem pting, with God's h e l p , to be a worship p i n g co m m u n ity at study. Now as we pause for a few mo ments of qu iet reflec t i o n , I ask that you try to focus the total i ty of yo u r atte ntion u pon the peti tions I s h a l l ph rase for myse l f an d for you: 1.

CHRIST GIVES MEANING TO LIFE The Rev. Dr. Fridtjov Birkeli, Bishop of Stavanger, Norway, gave two addresses on campus March 15, The University's Distinguished Service Medal was conferred on him at the student convocation where he gave the address which follows this introductory paragraph. Bishop Birkeli lectured on the life of Norway's late Bishop Berggrav at a luncheon meet ing to which pastors in the area were invited. The day prior to his leaving for America on a 17-day speaking trip, Bishop Birke/i learned that he had been elected Bishop of Oslo, a post which carried with it the title, Primate of the Church of Norway. It is expected that he will take over that position July 31 when Bishop Smemo retires. I come to you as a representative of a tin y

Those of you fam iliar w i t h the whole h istory of PLU know that every ad mi nis tration had its p ro b l e m s , heartac h es, crises and ac hi evements. That of the man you are hOr;lo ring was no exception. Many movements and i n f l uenc es affected the school during his te n u re . The depression of the 30's, the coming of the Second World War, the growth in enro l l m ent desp ite the hard ti mes, the i ncreas i n g demands p l aced o n teacher-training i nstitutions i n the area of teac h e r certification - all made t h e i r i m pact. Then too, the felt need of wider Luth eran cooperation, the l i m ited n u m be r o f Lut,herans i n the area served by the school, the necessity of meeting ac c reditation standards, the need fo r m o re b u i l d i n gs , the t rend toward s pec ial ization, the c o m petition of state-s ponsored schoo ls, the remoteness from syn odic al h eadquar ters, the p ro b l e m of what to do about the High School D iv i sion, the needs of stu dents fo r c red it, and many other factors; all had thei r effects. In retrospect, honesty reqLli res the ad m ission that there were periods of gloom, anxiety and fee l i n g s o f fru strat ion during t h i s ad m i n istrat i o n . That t h ey tested the mettle and the faith of the president, fac u l ty, t rustees and students cannot be denied. By now one can realize how the Good Lord m u st h ave lo ved this school to permit it to s urvive. But rather than dwe l l i n g on the d i ffi c u lties of this occas i o n , let us think in terms of the loyalties and sac rifices of

The action was taken to recognize the developing a l u m n i ch apters around the country and, to allow them a voice in the affai rs o f the A l u m ni Board. Terms of the members-at- Iarge w i l l be for one year, renewable fo r a total t i me period of th ree years. Fo r a chapter to have a member-at-Iarge position, it must f i rst fo rmal ly o rgan ize and then be char tered by the board . I n fo rmation pertai n i n g t o the chartering procedure can b e o b tained from the a l u m n i office.

Two Can Give as Easily as One. If you contribute to Pacific Lutheran U n i versity and a re associated with o ne of the c o m pa nies whose names appear in the l isting below, you can arrange to have a second gift sent to your alma mater, cou rtesy of yo u r com pany. Sound easy? Well, i t is. Perhaps the most pleasant aspect o f gift matching, next to the good such contribu tions d o , is how easi ly you can arrange to have them sent. Once you have made yo u r gift, just inform the approp riate perso ns at you r com pany that you've done so. A match ing check will be sent to PLU soon thereafter, i n d i cating that your gift made the matc h ing gift possible. In effect, by matc h i ng yo ur gift, your em ployer is recogn izing the contribution which you, as an educated person, are making to your com pany. It's the boss' way o f saying "thanks" to the co l l ege which hel ped to p rovide your educati o n . To b e sure, gift m atching i s o n l y one way in which businesses and cor po rations are assisting educat i o n . But it has become an i n c reasi ngly Significant so u rce of an n ual support. Won't you check over this listing to see if your compan y has such a program. If it does, take a mo ment to have your gift

matched. You may be sure that both gifts will be gratef u l l y received. Key to the Listing Remember that while nearly every pro gram will match a gift to an institution, its a l u m n i fund or receiving fo undation, most exclude from matching such thi ngs as club or asso ciation dues or pu blication subscriptions. As a general rule, the pro gram of a parent firm w i l l apply to its d ivisions, sub sid iaries and aff i l iated com panies. To receive more c o m plete i n for mation on your com pany's program, contact it d i rectly. To assist you i n identifying the i m portant provisions o f these programs, some i n formation has been coded in par entheses after each coporate title, as fo l lows: 1 Fou r-year colleges and u n iversi ties are el igible 2 Grad uate and professional schools are eligi b le 3 J u n i o r co l leges are eli gible all All th ree of the above a re el igibl e epi Program excludes p u b l i c institu tions Ipi L i m ited p rogram fo r p u b l i c i nsti tutions; percentage of p u bl ic su p port o r cap ital gifts may be restricted; regular program for private institutions epr Program excludes private institu tions Ipr L i m ited program for pr ivate insti tutions; regular program for p u b l i c lim Program is i n fo rmal or restricted to a limited n u m ber of specified i nstitutions o r employees sp C o mpan ies which w i l l match gifts of a spouse (husband or wife) o f a n eligible e m p loyee sp-w C o m panies which w i l l match gifts of a wife of an eligible e m ployee n-a W i l l match gifts of no n-alu m n i

Some Things A re Not Changed at

PlU

The packagi n g may be d i fferent, but there is one t h i n g that has not changed: P L U stands for the b a s i c t h i n g s of the Christ ian Life as it seeks to educate the whole per son. I have had the privi lege of serving on the A l u m n i Board for the past three years, as well as hav i n g two of my own c h i l d ren at P L U . I am proud to be a g rad uate of P LU, and I am happy to have my c h i l d ren attend it. I don't want them to be s po o n f e d on s p iritual pab l u m , but at t h e same time, I am p leased that there are C h ristian p rofessors who can both ch al l e n g e and at the same time g i ve my c h i l d re n a sense of d i rection. P L U has a sense o f d i rection and a part i c u lar b i as which i s the challenge o f C h r i st. I t has a n d i s con t i n u i ng t o create an envi ro nment where Ch ristian character can g e rm i nate a n d g row. But at the same time, P L U m u st p u rsue acad e m i c excel len ce. A l u m s , your s u pport i s necessary and needed. Be a loyal A l u m . A s you strengthen your s c h oo l , you benefit yourself. Keep PLU on top in all areas so that you can continue to b e p roud that you are a mem ber of the g row i n g u n iversity fam i ly. Also. g ive of yourself and your f i nancial means to provide an exc e l l e n t edu cation i n a C h r i stian s u rro u n d i ng for young peo p l e . Luther O .

Scientist Search By

J o s e p h Sch neider

Pacific Lutheran U niversity, along w ith every oth e r institution of h i gher education in the nation, enters the marketplace of available scie ntists each spring seeking to lure the top men to its faculty. Ad ministrators from P L U , often sharing the sam e p lane with deans and department c hairmen from other c o l leges, knock on many of the same doors and tal k terms w ith many o f the same men. Tile c ro p of b u dding research scientists. com p l ete with a l l of the academic trim mings, is always sma l l . A n d as the law of s u pply and de mand di ctates, the top men usually go to the h i g h est bidder. A sma l l c o l lege cannot match financial muscle with the large i n s titutions, and so it m u st e m p loy d i fferent methods of secu r i n g fac u l ty. Pac ific Luth eran is no excep tio n . I n lieu of h i gh salaries an d over stocked labo ratories, PLU offers a pros pective teacher a modest income, satisfac tory equipment and mater ials, and the o p portu n ity to become a member of a commun ity of profes s i n g C hristian scho l ars. This com bination o f benefits doesn't at tract everyone, but it does interest the dedic ated ; and at P L U , w h e re s u bsc ription to Ch ristian beliefs is as essential as schol arly attain ment, this is what counts. Last winter D r. Robert M o rtvedt, pres ident of P L U , h i red a man of exce ptionally h i g h scholastic abil ity. The scientist, D r . Kwong-T i n Tan g , a l s o possessed a strong C h ristian com mitment. D r. Tang has come a long way fro m his b i rt h p lace in mainland China to a post on the faculty at P L U . As a youth of te n he f l ed with his fam i l y from th eir native country to I'ive in Hong Kong. He received his first two years of h ig h e r e d u cation at

the National Taiwan U n i versity (Fo rmosa) . In 1 957 he i m m igrated to the U nited States where he worked for B e l l Telephone Lab oratory i n New Jersey. The re commenda tion of a friend led h i m West to the U ni vers ity o f Was h i ngton where he enrolled as a physics student. Two years later the fut u re scientist g rad uated with a B.S. i n engineering physics. Eight months late r h e o btained an MA deg ree i n mathematics from the University. Des i ring more educat ion, D r. Tang en ro l l ed at the Univers ity of Maryland and one year later transferred to Columbia U n i versity. There he received his P h . D . in May, 1 965. In the same month he married Pau l ine H u i-C h i ng , a native of his home town of N a n k i n g . That s u m mer the yo ung co u p l e l e ft f o r the West Coast wh ere Dr. Tang h a d a post grad uate f e l l ows h i p to continue research on a project at the U n ive rsity of California at Be rkeley. The next year he accepted a l U c rative pos ition with ind ustry. A n d then PLU became an i n te g ral part o f h i s work and life. Word of sc ientific advan ce does n 't travel fast, and as a res u l t sometimes years go by before a man is recognized for his contribution. PLU is benefiting from such a q uirk, as D r. Tang is j u st now coming i n to nat i onal prominence fo r his wo r k as a doctoral can d idate at C o l u m b ia. Physicists from across the U n ited States are begin ning to hear at their national meetings about the scie n tific breakt h ro u g h made b y t h i s yo u n g scientist. Others o f their profess ion a r e reading of the c o m plicated process b y which h e e x p lained ato m ic-molecular interaction. And these edu cators, researchers and scie ntists are

also learning that D r. Tang is a member o f the physics fac u l ty at PLU. His method was to cal cu late the prob ability o f each of the various possible re s u ltant motio ns d ue to interactions between hydrogen ato m s a n d molec u les. I n c l uded i n the s t u d y were calcu lations o f two types of coll isio n s : elastic and reactive. Thus, h e ca l c u l ated the l i kelihood that a mo le c u l e wou l d travel in a g iven d i rec tion after it was i nvolved in a collision or reaction with an ato m . (This is a n overs i m p l ication o f D r. Tang's resea rc h , we ad m it. However, the fact that edu cated physi cists wo rked on the same problem fo r years prior to Dr. Tang con soles us.) Dr. Tang's work o pened the door to f u rther research in the field o f ato m ic reaction . He is modest about h i s contri b u t i o n , b u t recog n ition continues to come to h i m . A rtic les about the resea rch have been p u b l ished t h i s year in two scientific j o u rnals, and several more are planned. His entire thes is, en t i t l ed : "E lastic and Reactive Scatterings i n the H, H2 System , " has been requested so often that i t has been trans cri bed from m i c ro f i l m many ti mes. Research never stops fo r the t rue sci entis1 ; and s ince a rr i v i n g at PLU last fal l Dr. Tang has started several projects. " I f I d o n ' t do research I am p rofessionally dead," said the very-mu ch-alive scientist . A com puter is an integral part o f h i s work; a n d because P L U does n o t have the s o p h i sti cated mac h i ne he needs, Dr. Tang s h u ffles his cards t h rough a system at Boeing C o m pany. The un iversity d i d pu rchase a table model c o m p uter for h is "minor" arithmat ic, and wat c h i n g Dr. Tang's hands move ac ross the keyboard convi nces one that he would have been as adept a surgeon as he is a p h ysicist.

Dr. Tang, w h ose O riental featu res make h im appear ten years younger than his age of 32, is as pro d u c tive in the c 'lassroom as h e is in the labo ratory. His students ad m i t that they are q u i c k ly caught up i n h is enth us ias m . A n d h i s p resence allows u n dergraduates to become assoc iated with research far i n advance of their own days of experimental probing. D r. Tang took a sizeable salary cut to accept a position at P L U . A man doesn't do that without a good reaso n , and Dr. Tang has several. Love of teac h i n g p l us i n cessant des i re to c o n t i n u e research were the two main reasons for entering the academ i c world. However, those qualifications c o u l d be met by many i nsti utions. Dr. Tang wanted the o pportun ity to serve a Lutheran i n stitution and wanted to be c l ose to h i s parents, so he c hose PLU. Hav i n g a man of Dr. Tan g 's caliber o n t h e fac u l ty i m poses s o m e c h al lenges to an ad m i n istrat i o n . He has worked with the best of eq u i pment and has had access to u n l i m ited f u n ds . (His doctorate research o n one of the most advanced c o m p u ters in o peration ran up a b i l l of nearly $500,000.) B ut researc h , being a s l o w process, breeds pa1 ient practioneers. Dr. Tang real izes the l i m i tations of the university and at the same time knows that it is d o i n g a l l i t c a n t o i m p rove its prog ram . T h i s s p r i n g other department chai rmen are seeking new faculty members. They w i l l succeed, as they have done i n the past, in attracting several d istingu ished s c h o l ars who c o u l d have gone elsewhere at h i gher salaries. But few of the other col leges and u n iversities can offer a pros pective e m p l oye the chance to work i n a c o m m u n ity of Ch ristian scholars. A nd PLU attracts fa c u l ty , l i ke D r. Tan g , who cons ider this a p r i celess benefit.
