O u r mission is powe rfully stated in OUT Obj,ectives, but objectives a re mea n i n g less wit hout implemen tation. Seven yea rs ago I set fo rth my o w n phi losophy as rela ted to our Objectives, in an ad d ress en ti,tled "Edu­ cation i n H i s Name." I still believe what I said at t h a t time. All t h e ideas w i l l , no d o u b t , be mo re effectively stated by othe rs; b u t it is my prayer as I leave my ass i g n ment that the U n i versity will hold, with a g r i p of steel, to the O b j e c t ives we p rofess. Ex cel­ len ce is not eno u g h ; all we do or u n d e rtake must be w i t h i n the framework of commit­ ment to the g ospel.

O n e o f the impo rta n t t h i ngs wh ich has h a p p e n e d at PLU i n rece nt yea rs is the fact Ihat students, faculty, and ad m i n i s t rators alike have become h e avily involved i n t h e s o c i a l a n d economic p rob lems o f Tacoma.

Hun dreds of our students h ave giv e n f reely of t h e i r time in soc ial serv ice e n d eavors; a n d some fac u l ty members seem always to be where the acti o n is. A g rant from the Board of College Ed ucat i o n of t he Amer ican Luth­ eran C h u r c h has just enabled us to launch C H O I C E-Center for Human Organ ization i n C h a n ging Envi ronmen ts. Its purpose is to u nleash the talents and ex pertise of the Un ivers ity i n working toward t h e s o l u tion of human problems.

Gratitude

the stro n g es t feel i n g I p resen tly h ave is t h at of gratitude-gratitude w h i c h s pans a l i fetime; h e n c e I must refer t o a few h i g h p o i n ts. I am g rateful for parents wh ose l i ves were u n d e rg i rd e d by exempla'ry Ch ristian faith based on d a i l y use of t h e B i ble a n d God's g race: g ratef u l for the home in which I was reared a n d fo r the bro t h e rs and s i sters who e n r i ch ed the meaning of family t i e s; g rateful for an edu­ cation which ran t h e gamut from a v illage s c h o o l to Harvard Un iversity; gratefu l , par­ tic ularly, because many peo ple taught me that learning is a l i fe l o n g , ej'1dless process.

N o one k n ows better than I that I did n o t lea rn enoug h; b u t I d i d le arn l o n g a g o t h a t d o i n g l e s s t h a n o n e ' s best is i n to l e ra b l e , even t h ou g h t h e route may b e painful.

just- c riticis m , p r i n c i pally, I t h i n k , because the c ritics could not b e told all the facts.

I am sure t h e re have been e r ro rs , but, right­ ly or w rongly, I have sought al ways to put the welfare of the U n ive rsity, as I saw it. above all o t h e r considerations.

I am grateful fo r c o l l eagues who have been will i ng to accept both aut h o r ity and respo n s i b ility and to offer advice and c r i t i ­ c i sm: grateful fo r co-wo rkers and assistants who have selflessly tried to make my tasks easier; grateful for faithful, str i v i n g fac u l ty me mbers and ded icated. ventu resome re­ g e n ts ; grateful for alu m n i s u p p o rt a n d for the t h o usands of aspiring and frien dly stu­ dents for whom the e n t i re e n te rprise has been co nstructed.

b e e n , a n d is, there is no b u ilt-in guarantee that i n stitutio n s like PLU can o r will sur­ v ive as institutions with a meaningfu l C h ris­ tian co mmitment, They w ill su rvive as insti­ tutions d e d icated to education; that is axio­ matic. But the y w i l l s u rviv,e as "church" o r "Ch rist ian" institut ions o nly i f e n o ugh a b l e , i n fo r m e d , and c o n v i n c e d p e o p l e give t h e m growing suppo rt i n every category of n e e d .

T h e y w i l l survive, I a m c o n v i n c e d , o nly o n the basis of a reasonable measure o f sac rifice.

It has been d i fficult fo r many peo ple to com prehen d why I have repeatedly stated my c o n v i c t i o n that PLU is f i gh t i n g to s u r­ v iv e . Outwardly we ap pear p rosperous; our campus a n d bui l d i ngs are beautiful; despite a very l a rge de bt, we have o p e rated with balanced budgets; we have accepted about all t h e stud e n ts we could care for; we have lowered teac h i n g loads and i n c reased sal­ a ri es. We have d o n e everyth i n g that a respectable acade m ic insti tut i o n is ex­ pected to do; but I wo n d e r at t i m es if we have forgotten our m i ssio n . Without a s e n se of m issio n , a c h u r c h college succumbs to the b l a n d success of " i n d e p e n d e n c e;" an d t h is spells death to someth ing of vital im­ portance to our c hu rc h and natio n .

A Chapter of Educational Change D u r i n g a period of seve n years, we have s h a red i n and wit nessed almost u n b e l iev­ able c h anges in t h e Ame rican e d u c a t i o n al s c e n e.

He has striven mightily to implement the statements of faith and purpose which he has proclaimed "in season and out of s a­ son" both on and off the campus.

The self-study by the faculty of the aca­ demic program received major emphasis.

This resulted in such milestones as Ihe accrediting of the School of Nursing by the National League for Nursing. the granting of $198.567 by the Research Foundation to strengthen the science program. the estab­ lishment of a Teacher Corps program. and the reception of numerous grants for in­ service and research projects. It all cul­ minated this school year with the adoption of the new curriculum (4-1-4) which will go into effect next fall.

To provide the physical elements neces­ sary to carry out his inaugural pledge. the man of the 1960s spearheaded a long­ range development program (PLUS) which the regents adopted in February. 1964. An Ie)

exhaustive study of the institution and its goals and needs. with the aid of pro­ fessional consultants, had preceded this action.

PLUS called for an investment of $16.5 million over a 10-year period. The time­ table and the projections out'lined in that program have been met in practically every instance.

The first building projects for a men's residence hall and a swimming pool build­ ing were aulhorized by the regents June 14. 1964 and ground was broken in Octo­ ber. The $900,000 Foss Hall for 185 men and the $260.000 swimming facility were (a) Wilh John F

Rh ea, they a re strivi n g to m o l d a d e p a rt­ m e n t w h ich meets the perso n a l , creative needs of today's m o d e rn student who is seeking som eth i ng fo r the m i n d , the s o u l a n d t h e senses.

"Someth i n g that makes a m a n a more feeling pers o n ," as Schwid der describes it.

T h r o u g h o u t the co u n t ry in recent years there has been a n i n c reasing awareness of the arts, a n d n ev e r before i n h i sto ry has t h e re been as wide an in terest as at pres­ e nt . Virtually millio ns of perso ns a re par­ tici pat i n g i n some fo rm of cultu ra l activ ity.

Imagination Stimulate I ma g inations are b e i n g s t i m u l ated . In past years there seemed to be a lack of i m ag i n­ atio � . "No � the stu de nts a re o pe n i n g u p ; they re dOing some pretty wild thin g s '" Sch w i d d e r adds.

L i ke see m i n g ly u n related slashes of paint across a canvas that g r adually b l e n d i n to a fi nis h e d w o r k of art, the o pi n i o n s a n d insights of P L U res i d e n t a rtists b l e n d i n to a mean i n g f ul p h ilos o p h y : " I am prim a r i l y co ncerned w ith a rt a s a p rocess rath e r than the p rod uct i o n of a p ro d u ct."

"The q u a l ity of the art will g row unat­ ten d e d as the d e pth of the art experie nce deepens." " Recogn ize art as a v isual thing. We tend to turn everyth i n g i nto wo rds.'; "Style h as to be u n conscious. It h as to be YOU!" "Art is an expe rience of adve n t u re a n d d i scovery. T h e re is rich n ess a n d wonder manifest in the art experience. It is a h e i g ht­ ened awaren ess of l i fe.

"It is the elevation of o u r h u m an q u a l i ­ . ties stirred by u s e o r a p pe a l o f : i m a g i n 2t i o n , sensitive awareness, o rganizati o n a n d d i scovery o f self.

"Forms of art a re infi n i te and u n pred ict­ able."

"Try someth i n g . If y o u ' re g o i n g to fail do ' it glo riously!"

A n d the students respo n d: they FEEL the a rtists mean it when t h ey say "the gene ra­ tion gap is the g reatest th i n g that ever hap­ pened to this co u ntry. Kids today are m o re objective. T h ey aren ' t acce pt i n g t h e b rain­ wash i ng . "

Increased Interest In the cam p us co m m u n ity this has res u l ted i n an i n creased i n t e rest in art stud ies. In a d d ition to a rt majo rs, more stude nts from oth e r disci p l i ne s a re en roll i n g in art co u rses beyond those needed to meet a requir e m e n t fo r g raduatio n .

A t P L U , e n roll m e n t i n all a rt department co u rses has increased 93 p e r ce n t i n the last five years. In just two years the n u m ­ b e r o f art m a j o rs h as mo re than d o u b l ed .

W h y? "Art is ta k i n g s o m e exciti n g n e w d i rectio ns," S c h w i d d e r asserts.

He described the d e p a rtment. "Two o r t h ree years ago t h e d e partment b o re only a b a re rese m b l ance to w h at we have now.

I n a n o t h er two years there will b e no resem blance."

PLU a rtists a re see k i n g to estab l i s h two basics : art a p p reciati o n a n d p ro p e r skills.

From this po i n t the student is enc o u raged to establish h i s own creative p rocess by use of his i m a g i n ation.

"We are s k ill-oriented r3t h e r t h a n the ra­ peutic," Schwid d e r ad mits.

It i s the staff con sensus , however . t h a t ' en richment w i l l be t h a t m u c h g reater if the s t u d e n t u n d e rstan ds h o w to put togeth e r an a rt object; h is desire fo r expression will not be i n h i b i ted by lack of the pro pe r "to o l s . "

In the e n d , it rema i n s for each observer to in terpret art based on h i s own pe c u l ia r experiences. A n d t h i s i s the esse n c e o f a rt -a m ic rocosm of l ife itself.

New insights-When you see a dark blue canvas splashed with undisciplined blotch­ es of red, ye!fow, orange and green paint and you see the title "Car," do you see "car?"

You might if you had been at the artist's side when he pondered over a blaze of neon lights reflected in the shiny fender of an automobile one rainy night.

Tolerance of another man's point of view -are footprints in the snow black or white?

Did you see them in the shadow or in the sunlight?

But a rt is u n i q u e i n that it is not b o u n ded by confo r m i ty . In that sense, i t pro bably comes as near as a n y medium to refl e c t­ ing t ruth.

W h at does being a PLU a l u m n u s mean to you? To me b e i ng an a l u m n u s means possessi n g a sense of pride that I am a product of this institutio n . Because of t h is pride I have a great desire to see o t h e rs e n joy this same o p p o rt u n ity ; the refore, I feel I have a perso nal ob l i gati o n to assist my a l m a mater in any way I can for having given me t h e t ra i n i ng and o p po rtun ity to become a C h ristian busin e ss m a n .

The banquet this year is a special testi­ monial d i n n e r in honor of Dr. Robert A. l. Mo rtvedt who is re tiring as p resident of Pacific lutheran U niversity t h is summer.

We, as alumni, are espec i a l l y i n debted to this m a n for his foresig h t and drive in estab lish i n g a formal office of a l u m n i rela­ tions on the cam pus in 1 963. Dr. Mortvedt has, s i nce t h e n , been an avid supporter of o u r program in many ways. We are deeply g ratef u l to him for all that he has done. P lan to attend this banquet and h e l p us show o u r a p p reciation.

The speaker for our banquet will be Dr. Sidney Rand, P resident of Saint O l af Col­ l e ge, and a long t i m e friend of Dr. Mort­ v e d t . H i s m e s s a g e w i ll b e w e ll w o r t h h ea r i n g .

Bes ides t h e alu mni, the regents, students, and facu lty wil l each have a part in the prog ra m . It will b e a memorab le occasion for a l l who attend.

The seminars on "Experi ment in Educa­ tion" are creating quite an i n terest among our a l u m n i . T h e seminar on "The Psycho­ drama of Peak Experi ences" which w i l l be presented by Dr. Ronald Jorge nson, as­ sistant p rofessor' of education at PlU, is the culminat!on of a study Dr. Jorgenson and several other peo p l e from across the nation have been worKing on. I t involves the rec reation of positive experiences t h ro u g h the medium of drama to help b u i ld a positive perso n a l self-image within t h e individual. I'm sure you wi l l f i nd it inter­ est i n g .

A f l yer was s e n t t o you several weeks

ago giving you the opportunity to reserve yo ur p lace at these various activities.

P lease send this card i n or call the a l u m n i office today t o m a k e you r reservations.

John Rydgren Alien S h aw, director of ABC's FM S pecial Projects G roup, has annou nced the sign­ i n g of Jo h n Rydgren '54, to b e the p rimary voice for lOV E , the G roup's n ew prog res­ sive rock programm ing concept. "John will not be an annou ncer o r dee-jay in the usual sense," states Shaw. "That's why I l i ke to cal l h i m an un-disk jockey."

The te rm fits Rydgren wel l, even though he was a dee-jay at WCOl, Columbus, Oh io, in the late f ifties. Rydgren is better known as the Reverend John V. Rydgren, national di rector of radio-tv-fi l m for the A m e rican luthe ra n C h urch. That's fairly un-disk jockey!
