Abraham's Kin By CurtIS Huber Professor 01 PhIlosophy

R ecentl y I read that the great maj ority of American car buyers ty pically do three th ings when they visit the show rooms to see the new models_ They look br ief ly under the hood, ki ck the tire, and slam the car door to listen for the "thunk"_ I also read that the fel l ow wh o buys a new car typically selects one with a thunk that out-thunks the competition_ The story said that General Motors employs 250 technicians, including graduates f rom Stanford, Mi chigan State and Purdue, to develop a better thunk in i ts cars_ They put the thunks on stero tape; osci l l oscopes gu age their frequ ency, and h igh -speed movies capture the vi brations in the door caused by thunks. By these and other measurements science has di s covered that what is called an angry-wife slam measures 50 foot-pounds of energy whi l e a husband-com ing-h ome-Iate-at-night slam measures only 3 foot-pounds_ The article also revealed that none of the engineers knows just what it is that causes a good thunk_ The v ice-president

of Ame rican Motors in charge of thunks, a man named John Adamson, says, "There's a lot of black magic in this thing_ The ideal sound for our cars i s a clump, not a clink, clatter, or clunk, but a clump_ B u t of cou rse, we will never reach the u Iti mate sound_" Even in this day and age of profli gacy on a multi-mill ion doll ar scale I never thought American business wo u l d spend millions of dollars and man-hours, as re ported, on the mere development of a nice, healthy thunk in car doors. B u t whether i t is waste or not, what I want to call to y o u r attention is the determination to go on developing thunks even though no one seems to understand them and everyone seems to bel ieve that the u l ti mate thunk will never be achieved. H ow sweet i t would be if God's people cou ld learn the lesson found in that sort of de termination and fai th_ The kind, that is, which keeps l i fe going and improving even though we don 't f u lly understand all the in's and out's of it, and do not ex pect to ach ieve the ultimate in l ife. 7

SNEER AT THE FUTU R E

The demands today are for freedom NOW. I n themselves, they are not fool ish demands, but what makes them fool ish, and di visive as wel l , is the sneer at the future with which they are often shouted. That sneer betrays a fundame n tal human wea kn ess to make everything of the pre sent moment and noth i n g of the next. Life becomes a bagatel le of transient ex perience, as Whi tehead cal led it, made up of I ittle bits and pieces of ti me, each of them carry ing its tota l value i n itself. The whole of l ife, its qual ity and d i rection is ignored or thought of as a n abstraction unworthy of our struggle or concern . I n a way, those who sneer at the future and the whole of Iife's meaning have someth i n g to teach us. It is, after all, true that fa ith and hope in the ideal of a better worl d or the perfection of man is not a legitimate subst itute for life and love i n t h i s world. When G od's end-time o r some heavenly vision becomes so overpower ingly i m portant to us that we neglect or ignore the injustice and pain in this world we are traitors to the creation He has given us. But it is also true that l ife is more than food and clothing, the world of things is not the whole of our l iving, and each of our fleeting moments does not carry in itself Its full i m portance. Every thunk i n your F ord may be a very grati fying thun k, but it carries with i t something more than instant pleasure. To those who Ii�ten carefu lly it also says, "There must be a better thunk". And so men spend cou ntless hours and dol lars searching for that unknown something more. And that burn i n g quest gives a beauty and meaning to each moment of

LEA

NED THE HARD WAY

A very old Jew named Abraham learned that lesson the hard way, but he learned it so we l l that a l l who learned it after h i m have been cal led his k i n . I n the book of Genesis we are told that "The Lord brought Abraham outside and said, ' Look toward heaven and number the stars if you are able to n u m ber them .' Then H e said to H i m, 'So sha l l your descendants be.' And Abraham bel ieved the Lord, and He reckoned it to h i m as righ teousness". Now you see, what makes Abraham's be lief al most incredible is the fact that for all practical purposes his I ife was a real bust . In the fi rst place he was told to leave h i s homeland when he was 75 years old and go to a land of promise. But he wasn't told whefe, and he never rea l l y found i t . F o r a hundred years afterward, according to the story, until the day he d ied he had for the most part only a lot of sweat and tears and troubl e. lin the second place the th ing Abraham put the greatest value on was a family of heirs, and he had no luck at that at a l l. It happened, according to the Scripture, that God promised h im a fam i l y as nu merous as the stars. But Abraham didn't l i ve to see that. Oh, he f i n a l l y had Isaac a l l right, but I saac wasn't a l l t h a t numerous; and besides, that gift was obscured by a l l kinds of trouble because o f Sarah, hi s wife . And then there was more trou ble caused by a fl ing he had with one of h is wife's maids. And there were more fl ings with a nother wife and some concubines. On top of that Sodom and Gomorrah gave him a bad jolt, and i n the end even his son I saac created problems for the o l d 8

man. And so one day when he was 1 7 5, says the B i ble, "He breathed his last and died, an old man and fu l l of years, and he was gathered to his people." He never rea l l y enjoyod the promises God had given him. They were just passed o n to sons and grandsons.

A braham . . . Abraham bel ieved and was blessed; so a l l who bel ieve are blessed as he was . " KIER KEGAARD UNDERSTOOD Norma l l y I don't l i ke Kierkegaard, but on this su bject he is seco nd only to Abraham in the depth of his u n derstand in g. He once wrote, "Sitt i n g qu ietly in a ship wh i l e the weather is ca l m is not a pic ture of faith. B u t when the ship has sprung

P R OM SES, PROMI SES! If that sort of thing were to happen today we wo uld a l l most l i ke l y be temp ted to say, "For God's sake, A braham, take what you can get and enjoy it. Pleasure now! Stop dreaming this k id stuff about God and H i s promises. Promises, Promises!" B ut Abraham d i dn't th i n k , l i k e Hemingway , that l i fe was just one thing after another. He was what some wo u l d ca l l a sentimental o l d foo l . Be cause on a c lear, cool even i n g he found himself on the floor of the desert looking u p at stars and gett i ng a v ision of a family as precious and vast as the cosmos itself. That vision haunted A braham to h i s last breath. He tru sted it; a f l i msy , ephemeral, wispy sort of dream that drove him on and on. I t drove h i m to his grave, but he never gave it up. And that is what made Abraham what he was and col ored his career as a r i ghteous ma n . The boo k of the Hebrews says that by faith A b raham obeyed his inner ca l l , not k n o w i n g where he was to go. He d i ed, the book says, "not ha ving received what was promised, but hav i n g seen it and greeted it from

a lea k , enthusiastica l l y keep ing the sh i p afloat b y pumpi ng . . . this i s the p i ctu re. " Perhaps you remember t h e story in verse of the voyage of an other dreamer named Columbus. I t is the story of the trials of the crew and the fears of untimely death clutch i n g at their hearts as they sailed off the ma p i n to a wor l d un known . As the verse goes o n , one crewman goes to Col umbus for advice: "Brave

It grew to be Time's burst of dawn. He gained a world; he gave the world its grandest lesson' Sail on, and on."

That, I thi n k , is what makes G od's peo ple the Ch urch, and A braham's k i n. Their vision of the ideal gives mea n i ng to the real and the determination to sail on. Per haps that is what is meant when Jesus sa i d , "B lessed are those who h u n ger and th irst after r i ghteousness, for they sha l l

ENVIRONM ENT ST UD IES

A massive educational campaign dea l ing with the q u a l ity of env i ronment and re足 lated topics is u nderway at Pacific Lutheran Un iversity. In addition to c lassroom appl ications and campaigns being prepared by the CHOICE center ( R eflections, Feb. '70) , P L U students are ra l lyin g to the cause. The first major project was a H unger and Popu lation Symposi u m April 3-5, to which students from nearby campuses and the pu b l ic were invited . A d istingu ished panel of speakers from across the country presented the problem and proposed solutions. I ro n ica l ly , D r . Jens Knudsen ( P L U '52) , head of the P L U biology department and a last足 minute su bstitute for a speaker delayed by the a ir l i ne strike, had the most i m pact on the l isteners. Dr. Knudsen com pared man to field mice, who when starved become cannibals, "until death and disease k i l l a l l but a handfuL" He fears this w i l l be man's fate because he is breed ing l i ke rabbits and refuses to bel i eve he w i l l a lso d ie l i k e rabbits, a n d i n the past m a n h a s stopped at nothing in his fight for survival .

He is a l so somewhat of a pessim ist, for though sol utions to overpop u l ation could be adopted , he has I i ttle hope that man wi l l make the necessary changes. It was po inted out that the world produced onl y 250 m i l l ion people i n the fi rst 1 0,000 years, then too k another 1 ,500 years to double, had its first bi l l ion by 1 840, the second by 1 930, the th i rd by 1 96 1 , and is racing toward 6.9 bill ion i n the year 2000. D r . Knu dsen sum marized, "man fails to see he is a guest . . . and that he cou ld so easi l y snuff out the candle of nature."

THE C LOAK OF JANUS

As President of Pacific Lutheran Uni versity Alu m ni Association, my term of office is drawing very rapidly to a close. It seems appropriate, therefor e, to reflect on the progress of the past, to assess our position at the prese nt and to glance fleet ingly i n to the future_ In so doing it w i ll be necessary for me to assu me the cloak of an ancient Roman god called Janus. This two-headed deity al legedly stood i n the doorway of the present with one of its heads looking toward the past and one peering i n to the future. T h is deity a l l eged ly possessed the a b i l ity to integrate eve nts of the past with what will transpire in the future and provide an en l ightened view of the present. Looking backward as Janus would from the doorway of the present, we as the A l u m n i Association ca n point with pride to our role i n the bui l d i n g of the magnificent R o bert A. L. Mortvedt Li brary. We can a lso bask in the gl ory of having expanded our Board and or gan i zation t o i nclude A lu m n i Ch apters i n Portland, S a n Francisco and S a n Diego. Furthermore, the formalized nature of our programs have broug ht to the campus speakers o n the topics of hunger, smoking and tissue transplantati o n . We have also u nderwritten a part of the educational expenses incurred by a l u m n i scholars who are sons and daughters of a l u m n i . We have purchased among other things, a motor ized veh icle which wi l l a l l ow the d iv i sion of broadcast services to more effective l y use portable television equ ipment which they possess. We have a lso g i ven sizable u nrestricted gifts to the U n i versity for

general operating budgets. I n sh ort, we have in the past a nd are at the present, making our presence and co mm itment felt in the U n i verSity com m u nity as a who le and on campus in pa rticular. The question of im portance however, is "What wil l happen in the future?" Unfo rtu n ate l y , for the future o u r "deifi cat ion" fails and we find only questions . For example w i l l we be assu m ing a greate r share of the cost of Christian h igher edu ca tion? W i l l we as an A l u m n i Association embark on meani ngful continu ing educa tion programs for ourselves and others? W i l l we expand our organization to include chapters in other pa rts of the U n i ted States? And if we establ ish these cha pters, w i l l they not only coord inate a l u m n i ac tivities, but a l so se rve as recru i tment, job placement and career counse l ing arms of the Un iversity? And sh ou ld we, as an A l u m n i Assoc iation , proclaim the decade of the 1970 's as the m i l l ion dol lar decade, sett i ng th is as the goal for our A l um n i F u n d Drives? Or alternatively , w i l l we al low d ifferences of op i n ion on education policy to threate n the greatest experiment i n h igher education i n all of h istory? And fi nal l y, can we in th is age, when revol ution is i n the a i r on the col l ege and u n iversity campuses of th is cou ntry. afford not to ac cept this challenge u nder Christ's banne r? For me , with my experience as an A l u m n i Board member, with my involve ment in the Annual Fund D rive and with my now nearly completed experience as President of the Association, there is no ch oice. Only one an swer will suffice and that answer will requ ire from us, who are a l u m n i of this institution, a ded ication wh ich we wou ld not have heretofore considered possible.

number of elected members on the Board and the length of their terms of office. Beginning in September of 1970, all Board members newly elected will serve four year terms and there will be four members elected each ye r rather than the five as is now done. The net effect of this change will be to increase the number of elected members to sixteen and by adding the extra year of service, make the mem足 bers more effective in carrying out their various committee assignments. A second change will create a new officer position, namely that of a second vice president. The first vice president will also serve as president elect and therefore, give more continuity to the alumni program. These positions, as is that of president, are all elected from the memberShip of the Board of Directors. Ratification of these changes took place at the May 9th Board meeting. They witl become effective in September of this year.

C OLLEGE MANP OWER FI LLS VOI D

Most successfu l businessmen have been able to recognize the need for a service and have fearlessly stepped forward to f i l l that need. R ichard Straub, a senior at P L U , fits the mold. A year ago he saw the need for a service wh ich would bring together persons needi ng tem porary labor h e l p a n d students desiring such l abor. The resu lt was Col lege Manpower . A business a d m i n istration major from Anchorage, Alaska, Stra u b is nearing the end of his tenu re as owner of the cam pus fi rm , which has offices now i n M emorial Gymnasi u m . But he sees Co l l ege Man· power as a conti n u ing v ital organization with rising col lege costs creating an increasing need for student j obs. Straub h ires h is students at $2 an hour, "h igher than any rate they can get on cam pus," he pointed o ut, and p l aces them on part·ti m e or tem porary jobs with a cl ientele of Tacoma firms at a flat·rate schedu l e . He also f i l l s orders for domestic jobs, wh ich to date have consisted mostly of U · H a u l customers desiring moving help . During the 1 968-69 school year the firm generated over $5,000 in student earnings. "You wou ld n eed a $ 1 00,000 endowment to provide those funds at five per cent i nterest," Straub observed. T h is year the firm is j u st getting a good start agai n after suspending operations during the fall semester. D u ring that time Stra u b u sed his firm as an independent study u nder Prof. Dwight

Zu l au f, professor of business admin istra tion at P L U . R onald Colto m , P L U financial a ids director, is an enthu siastic supporter of Straub's business. " I t fil l s a def i nite void , " he said. "Our office can keep l ists but we can't go out and sol icit jobs. And the jobs we have ava i l abl e usually go to students indicating financial need , wh ich not a l l do." Coltom h o pes t h e concept can b e continu ed . " I t would be possib l e t o generate $50- 1 00 ,000 a year in su pple mental i n co m e for the students," he predicted . With over 1 ,200 m e n o n campus and an increasing demand f rom p l eased em p l oyers, the prediction is valid. A s i m ilar enterprise at Princeton U niversity grossed more than a quarter of a m i l l ion dol lars last year. At H arvard University, a group of such enterprises cal led Harvard Student Agencies, Inc., grosses over $ 1 m i llion annu ally .

PLU CHALLENGED

A chal lenge gift of $ 1 00,000 has been . proffered by a Tacoma man. Th is is the largest personal gift in PLU h i story. The donor, whose ident ity is reserved u n t i l t h e con d itions of the chal lenge a r e met, has specif ied that the gift be used to he lp provide new quarters fo r the School of Nursing. The completion of the University Cen ter in Septem ber w i l l make t h e Co l l ege Union B u i lding available for other uses. Detai led architectural studies by Johnso n Austin & Berg, w h o origina l l y designed t h� bui l d ing, have shown that t h e CUB can be adapted very we l l as new qu arters for the School of N u rsing and the Depart ment of Art. Both of these d isc i p l ines now have grossly inadequate fac i l ities. A proposal has been made to the Public Health I nstitutes to help cover the cost of the new N ursin g facil ities. In o rder to receive the chal lenge gift the U n i versity must secure the rema in i n g f u n d s needed f o r remodel ing the C U B .

Since the projected costs fo r remode l i n g the b u i l d ing are $625',000 . the im mediate goal is $525,000 , The new N u rsing quarters w i l l feature a l ectu re-d emo nstrat ion room that can also be used by a l l departments offices ' independent st udy laboratories, sem ina ; rooms, conference rooms and li brary re source rooms. The area devoted to Art w i l l feature an exhibition gal lery that can also be used for "theater-in -the-rou nd " teaching st ud ios, c l assrooms and acti v i t y studios. The renovat ion of the C U B , together . With the Un iversity Center, represents Phase Two of the P L US Plan-t h e program for long-term development of P L U . The ca pital investment for Phase Two i s $4,000 ,000 . When .i t is com pleted, more than $ 1 4,000 ,000 w i l l have been i n vested in l a n d , b u i l d i ngs and fac i l i t ies. To secure fu nds req u i red to meet the chal lenge, a general sol icitatio n is being conducted among facu lty, regents, firms, fo u n dations and i ndividuals, A l u m n i and frien ds who wish to jo in in helping to , provide these new faci I ities sh ou Id contact the Un iversity Development Office.

This data i n d i cates very l ittl e geograp h i c a l variation i n m ajor u n iversity expense reports. There is some d ifference in the private institutional reports, with north west schoo�s costing somewhat l ess than the national average . Eve n more i m portant for our institution, however, is the d ifference between our l isted costs and those of publ ic-supported u n iversities. Using an average of $ 2 , 1 00 fo r these i n stitutions, an equ iva lent resident student pays o n l y $ 600 a year more or $67 a month . And we come al ong way toward reducing expense d ifferences through our financial a i d structure.

what pri¢e quality? Pacific L utheran University costs too much! A private institu tion is too expensive! I want to transfer to Public U. because it is cheaper.

The i m p ression persists, in spite of i ncreasing ev idence to the contrary. I t i s a com plaint P L U a d m i n istrators a n d facu lty m em bers have heard since t h e school c a m e into ex istence. The n ational news m ed i a does l ittle to counter this i m pression. A recent news· magazi ne article stated, "Sm a l l er private co l l eges have plenty of places avai l a b l e , but the cost of attend i ng these sch ools, which is rising every year, is more than a l ot of people can afford." Qu ite tru e, i n some cases, but let's look at the comparative stude n t costs for the 1 970·71 school year: PLU reports a student expense bu dget of $2,700 in College Scholarship Service tech nical for 1 970-7 1 .

Compara b l e costs i n the same publ ica tion. State un iversities - The State Un iversity of N ew York system averages $2,200 resi dent costs per year per student; I I I i n o i s U n iversity system , $2, 1 00 ; U n iversity of Cal ifor n i a system , $2,200. Selected i n -

For example, the Un iversity of Washington h as approximately $600,000 avai lable for scholarship aid to 33,000 students, wh ile PLU has $2 1 2,500 available for 2,500 students.
