The S2nd edition ot the saga was In a peculiar situation as II began production: there was a chance 11 would be the last yearbook PLU published. due to loss of quality and student Interest. Throughout this ''test'' year. the book was being carefully evaluated to deter· mine If there was sufficient merit or purpose In Its continuation. In response to this close scrutiny, the book's r:nanagement structure and format was changed to en­ courage a more Journalistic look at PLU life, representing many of the events and happenings on campus not nor­ mally reported. The staff was determined to use this new approoch 10 prove the quality and worth of the Saga as a record of Pacific lutheran University's history. The Saga will continue to be a record of the quality of life at PlU, reflecting the high standards of both academics and student life that this InstiMion Is..known for. This publication reflects that quality for the 1981·82 school year,

Breaking and Entering One thousand PLU students were guilty 01 "Breaking and En­ tering" In the Fall of 1981. "Breaking and Entering" was the theme of Orientation week; a week devoted to helping new students adjust to PLU. Orientation began Sunday. September 6, with a special con­ vocation for new students. The day continued with lectures on how to handle the "basics" 01 PLU life: dropping classes, treating a health problem, pain­ ting a dorm room or finding a food service number. In the evening, Playfair. an event f e a t u r i n g n o n -c o m petitive games. helped to Introduce the students to each other. Through the next two days, new students met with their advisors, attended department Interest "survival and meetings. seminars," These seminars, spon­ sored by the Academic Advising Center, offered students tips on taking lecture notes. reading textbooks and dealing with the first blue-book exam. Further In­ formational meetings advised students on the best academic backgrounds for certain careers. freshmen Tuesday.

clubs recruited new members while local businesses displayed their services. The Dog-Patch Olympics ended the week. This unique set of games was staged in the mud of Foss Field. Events included the In­ famous "Izzy-dlzzy" race which left participants staggering in the muck. Each dorm entered one or more teams of freshmen. The top twelve out of twenty teams were advanced to the finals held during the PLU-AJumni game half­ time. The Rainier #1 team took first i n the men's division, while Harstad #3 captured the honors In the women's division.

Experiencing I n itiati o n : " Coo pera tion " is the key! The bewildered group 01 Ivy freshmen had just finished get­ ting plastered with shaving cream and flour, being doused with foul pond water, and bob­ bing for raw eggs-and they were smillng. Had the experience affected their brains? No, the campus newcomers were just happy to have completed a part their freshman dorm's of initiation, a PLU tradition thai only recently has come under some close scrutiny and sharp criticism. Freshman Initiation has been a port of PLU as long as anyone can remember. Admissions Dean James Van Beek, a PlU student 1955-1960, recalls, "The freshmen generally had to wear beanies for a whole week. Initiation then campus-wide, was more because we had less housing units," Now, however. "Initiations are pretty much always dorm­ related," says Residential Life Ac­ ting Director Lauralee Hagen . The freshmen's trials and tribulations are usually determined by the fertile Imagination of the dorm councils. This year Rainier, traditiona lly the most active "initiator." over a period of two weeks took its freshmen on a 3 A. M. campus tour. mode them stand up and sing during dinner while dressed solely In towels, treated them to a sprinkler shower after 6 A.M. calisthenics. and forced them to "panty-ra id" the two all-girl

dorms.

That combination

was a

bit

much for a few of Rainier's freshmen. "Most of It was fun," said Gary Haldorson. "but some of it was useless, 11 went on too long . " RLO's Hagen concurs, "The ones that tend to drag on couse the most hard feel ing: It gets old." Most dorm presidents agree that one-day initiations are most effective. Ivy freshmen for exam­ ple. after running the gauntlet of shaving cream and pond woter. were then taken to some of Tacoma's more affluent neigh­ borhoods and dropped off. clad only in shorts. "They were instructed to return fully clothed," sold Ivy president Eric Fjelstad. "Some came bock within an hour and a half. The initiation was completed within 0 half-day, and "everyone had a great time." One dorm's "great time." however, can be a pain in the eardrums for everyone else. Hong Hall this year painted its freshmen like Indians, and In the words of dorm president David lorson, "made them do war dances with loud, obnoxious music blaring from two huge speakers. That annoyed many, Including Kreidler's dorm president liz Ben­ son. "It's no fun hearing pow­ wow-wow for 1 5 minutes at six in the morning. " The air horn that accompanied Stuen's Initiation calistheniCs was similarly unloved . For the most port. PlU Initiations are tame compared to some

that go on at state universities. (By 1 980. at least eight states hod passed antl-freshman-hozlng laws, otter a series of Initiation­ related deaths at east-coast froternities.) "People here tend to think ahead , . ,of the reper­ cussions of what they're doing," says Hagen. That is, until this year. when what has come to be known as the "Pflueger-Ivy incident" oc­ c urred . Although conflicting reports and f i nger-pointing abounded, the facts were: a group of Pflueger freshman girls were token to the predominantly male Ivy Hall, and then coerced Into participating bra-less in a wet T-shirt contest. It was, as one vjewer commen­ ted , hardly what you'd expect to find in a "Christian context." "Mob psychology," explained Ivy's Fjelstad . "It was spur of the moment stuff; something got mixed up," Several of the Pflueger girls left In tears. One of the participants sold, "We stood up on a table and got 'rated.' We didn', know the social norms. We didn't see we had any choice, because of the 'boord-ride' threats." The Issue was taken up before the Residential Hall Council. who assigned it to the Issues and Policies Committee. There, admit­ ted committee member Charlie Guildner, it "kind of got shoved under the table." A major problem was that there is nothing

explicit In the student hondOook about student initiations.



Cam pus Space at a Premium Ironing rooms, guestrooms and basements were hastily prepared t o welcome new freshmen to campus again t h i s year. This "overflow" housing was t h e Residential Ufe Office's attempt t o meet the ever-Increasing demand for space on campus. This year one hundred people were In tem­ porary housing for at least one week, up to a whole semester. The trend found more men than women without conventional housing; all of the women were moved Into permanent spaces by the first week, white ten men were stili I n overflow spaces at the end of the year. They had made the choice not to leave their "tem­ porary homes." Much of the problem stems from late applications for housing. Although there Is a May 1 deadline, applications are received as late as August. Throughout the year as vacancies are made by seniors and others moving off campus, those on the waiting list are moved In. With the large number of vacancies made, all students w h o requested housing for spring semester were able to find places on campus. The housing placement Is run much like airline reservations, with a waiting list after existing spaces are filled. "Overbooking" Is also required, because of the high rate of "no-shows" In the fall. "That Is the part we have no control over," said Rick Allen, director of Residential Life. "That's t h e guesswork; somet imes w e guess right. somet imes we guess close, and somet imes ..." Not only Is t h e on-campus population on the Increase, but PlU's enrollment has been affec­ ted In d i rect contrast t o t h e forecast published by t h e U.S.

predicted a dramatic drop In enrollment. PlU's office of Development has been predict ing a 1 percent In­ crease per year during the time period 1 980-85. t h e 1980-81 enrollment took a 5 percent Jump In a single year. While providing evidence 01 the strength of the PlU community, the Increases have caused problems In classroom spaces. Demand for "classroom space was running very high," said

Registrar Charles Nelson. "In the

fall from 8 a.m. Monday until 9 p.m. there were no empty classrooms." Improvisation was necessary to meet the demand; Harstad, which used to house ali the classes was once again pressed Into service, with classrooms added on both the ground and first floor. Practice rooms for the music department were located both on- and off­ campus, and some Journalism classes were held In Ramstad physics laboratories.

The funds w i l l primarily be used for the construc­ tion of a new science building and a fine arts center. The capital campaign. headed by Luther Bekemeler, Vice President for Development, reached out to many different areas; a congregational drive In­ volving over 500 luthef'an chur­ ches began the campaign, with support from a corporate cam­ paign of Puget Sound cor­ porations , and strong alumni sup­ port. Over 5500,000 was received In 1980-81 from estate bequests , contributing to the tota l . These funds will be used tor the design and construction of the new buildings, also supplemen­ ting the scholarship funds, campus upkeep, and bolstering the current operations fund. The science building was given a large boost toward Its construc­ tion with a S 1.5 million award by the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, given as a "vote of confidence" In what PlU has done toward meeting the demands of the future of education. The new science building will contain more lab and classroom space, with more up-to-date facilities. The fine arts center will be designed to house faculty of­ fices and practice rooms , a small recital hall, and a Scandinavian Cultural Center. The cultural cen­ ter will display the history and handiwork of Scandinavian heritage from which PlU com­ mences .

.-eq_lToT"

At the beginning of the year. there was a feeling that Reaganomics would nof affect Pacific Lutheran. President Rieke, rn a speech to the Polltlcai Science Club In September. an­ nounced that PLU would be exempt from any state work-study cuts. However, In February, PLU was forced to cut back off­ campus work-study beca use of shortages In state funds. The cutbacks took the form of restrictions on the number of hours that could be worked , a refusal to recruIt new employers or students into the program, and the wIthdrawal of vacant work-study positions. The lack of money did not come from a deliberate cut In state funds, but rather a loss of the traditional sup lements. In the past. PLU has always receIved supplements to the an­ nual work-study allotment. These supplements came from money returned by other Colleges to the Council for Postsecon dary Education. However, due to state and federal cuts, the COlleges used most of their funds, and the return rate dropped from 1 4 to five percent. Since the off­ campus work-study program Is funded by the state, the Coun­ cil's loss of money caused the

p

retrenchment of the progrom. The

funds

will

probably continue In the next few years. The CounCil commit­ ted $600,000 more than it had, expecting the colleges not to use their full allotment. This over­ spending. combined with state legislatures' requests for further cuts, will cause a further five percent reduction in state work­ study funds next year. For the 1 .000 PlU students on work-study, It means fewer opportunities to . work off campus and more competltlon for on-campus jobs. The Financial Aid Office was also faced with the unpleasant task of Informing students that there simply wasn't as much money as there was before. The 1981 school year saw the first ac­ tual decrease In the amount of financial old available. While Albert Perry, director 01 Financial Aid, pointed out that the effects of the cutbacks were modest. it came as a shock to many students to learn that. if they received federa l or state finan­ cial old, they would probably suffer at least a $200 cut. The loss of funds was spread across several forms of financial old which helped to lessen the impact. The Pell Grant, which helps approximately 700 PLU students, was cut from $ 1 . 750 to $ 1 .670, but the Supplemental Educationa l Opportunity Grants which fund students with excep­ tional need were tree from cuts In 1981. State grants were cut 1 0 percent. reducing PlU's allotment from 5200.000 to 5 f SO.OOO. Student loons. a traditionally popular form of financing, also suffered cutbacks. Starting In Oc­ tober of 1981, federally­ guaranteed loons were restricted for the first time. Families with in­ comes of over 530,000 had to demonstrate need to get the loons. The banks, in response to a

fear that the money would simply run out, also placed more restric­ tions on student loans. First Inter­ state Bank restricted their loans to students who had already received loans from the bank. while Puget Sound National Bank loaned money only to those students whose parents had maintained accounts in the bank or to Independent students who already held accounts. One loan officer at First Interstate, said the bank hod managed to meet the demands of returning students and still hod some money left over, a fact that would probably lead to a loosening of the loan regulations for the 1982-83 school year. Pacific lutheran University also responded to state and federal old cuts. In February, the Board ot Regents voted to Increase University-f unded financial old by 26 percent. This meant an a additional $300,000 was made available to the Financial Aid Of­ fice for use in the 1982-83 school yea r. The Increased commitment to aid reflected increased tuition as weJl as federal cuts. The price rose from 5146 to $165 a credit hour which caused concern among some Regents that PLU would become Inaccessible to certain groups of students. The increased financial aid was made In an effort to lessen that effect of tuition hikes. Still, President Rieke was unable to foresee a beNer economic climate for students In the near future. Federal cuts, he predic­ ted, would continue. For the 2,000 PLU students on financial aid, Reaganomics has come to mean less funds and more struggle In paying their tuition bills.

Sp ell ma n's Bud get H u rts State Sc ho ols While the eHects of 1981 budget cuts on Pacific Lutheran were minimal. the impact of the state schools were tremendous. On the heels of federal cuts, Governor Spellman ordered the state schools to reduce their ex­ penses by 10 percent across the board. The order came after Spellman promised to reduce the state budget by $33 . 1 million. Hardest hit were the community colleges, which operate on a very limited budget. Forced to cancel classes and let Instructors go to meet Spellman's order. they hod to turn away students. Overall. nearly 8,000 students In Washington refused were enrollment beca use there were no classes available. In Tacoma, Fort Steilacoom Community College lost 1,QOO

students beca use of tuition in­ creases combined with the loss of over 70 classes. Tacoma Community College was forced to cut evening classes, the adult education program and their accounting degree. Of the 1 ,500 students that were forced out, over half were part-time students attempting to earn their degrees while working. The state universities fared little better due to other sources of funding. StilI, Western Washington University felt so threatened by the budget cuts that they predic­ ted a complete closure of the school for a while. The University of WaShington, the largest state schooL raised their tuition by 53 percent In an attempt to make up the loss of state funds. The UW also can-

celed over 100 class sections, cut back on resea rCh, public services, student services, libraries and maintenance. They also announced that no new students would be admitted In the spring and winter quarters, and that there would be an overall cutback of 4,000 students by 1983. The effect on the morale of UW employees was amply Illustrated by the resignation of the head of the UW law program. Announ­ cing that the budget cuts were turning the law school Into a "mediocre" graduate program, the administrator quit his job. For the students of state schools, economics has come to mean a lack of classes and a rea l threat of not being able to attend school at all. .

Lowering by John Ellison Barriers to education for most college students may be the question of where tuition money will be coming from. or If they'll be accepted by the college they wish to attend; but for some students, approximately three percent of PlU's enrollment. the

barrier may be the actual physical access into a building. For students with physical limitations or visual impairment. a campus without easy access can be a major block to their education. In 1973. the United States passed Congress the Act. which Rehabilitation specifically directs the methods by which colleges and unlver· sitles might make their Institutions to the disabled accessible student. Section 504 of the Act read�. in part. .. ...no otherwise handicapped In­ qualified dividual. ..shaIL solely by reason 01 his handicap, be excluded from the participation In. be denied the benefits of, or be sub· Jected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." The Department at Health. Education and Welfare Implemented sec­ tion 504 In May 1977, guaran­ teeing the right of entrance for those students with disabilities In­ to the colleges and universities of the United States, to enjoy the benefits of an education as a whole program. Changing the law, through an Important first step In the process of making the university ac­ cessible to the disabled Is only a catalyst for change. New laws force new Interpretations of situations, causing the needs for changes not always vIsible. On PLU's campus, ramps and power­ assisted door closures have been to accommodate added

UC, more ramps and restroom modifications, and additional automatic door openers. The new projects all need to be evaluated for both advantage and aesthetic value. "When we do make an af­ chltectural change, we wont to make sure we don't destroy the aesthetic value of the building," said Registrar Chuck Nelson, who works with campus changes for the handicapped and Is a member of the Committee for Accessibility. 'The Campus Committee deals with devising new systems to old handicapped students on campus. Coreful planning Is reQuired to produce efficient, attractive systems. The evaluation of student needs and campus development will be. according to Nelson, on ongoing process for the Commit­ tee at least through this century." The changing of attitudes toward the disabled student will take even more time, but there Is change, according to Nelson. "Subtle discrimination will take decades to correct." said Nelson, "but exposure will do It. More and more handicapped students will come to this school because of the steps we are taking todcy."

Nelson is Involved In the "troubleshooting" of dally life for the handicapped student at PlU. such as arranging special tran­ or sportation. rescheduling classes Into rooms with easy ac­ cess for the disabled. The ot>­ stacles facing the handicapped are numerous and varied: Nelson

represents

reports showing the increase In

life expectancy of children born with serious health impairments, the need for special education teachers Is on the rise. in order to allow the disabled their rights of quality education. PLU's Special Education

Program "puts the emphasis on the student, not the handicap," . Gerlach p:>lnts out. "We feel a teacher needs to work with the differences. Nature makes dif­ ferences, society makes han­ dicaps." ChangIng the term handicap will help to change at­ titude. Gerlach feels. PLU has made some of the neceSSary first steps to bring about these needed changes, both In the physical campus, and In the modification of at· titudes.

The Year It All Came Together By the end of the year, Phi Kap­ pa Delto, the PLU forensics team, had collected over 80 trophies and was ranked 1 8th In the nation In CEDA (values debate), Every team member trophled at least once I n on event. "This was the year It all came together," said Pam Tolas, Phi Kappa Delta's president. "Dr. Bartonen {the coach] Joked In September about how It was our 'mission from God' to make the top twenty this year. By February, we knew we had a good shot at making It." In February, Phi Kappa Delta won first In sweepstakes at Western Washi ngton University's tOUf­ nament. Sweepstakes awards are based on accumulated points for awards won by team members. "I think Western was our most Iml=>Or­ font victory, " sold Tolos. "The teom learned to act as a whole this year. and Western proved that." In NDT (polley debate), PLU was represented by the team of Pot Madden and Michael Bundick at the Notional Debate Tournament at Florida State University . "This Is the national championship of In­

tanen. "Bundick and Madden are the fifth team i n PLU's history to earn this honor. The last PLU team to attend was In 1972." At Reno, two PLU teams made It to octo-finals In the CEOA Nationals: Pam Tolas and Mark Maney, Glen Alers and Brian McRae. Overall. PLU ranked first In the Northwest for CEDA beating out such contenders as Western Washi ngton and University of Oregon. Phi Kappa Delta members also hosted four tournaments. The first, in September, was a pre-season warmup for NOT debaters. In con­ Junction with UPS, PLU held the ninth largest college tournament I n the notion In January. The four­ day event was attended by debaters from the Northwest, caUfornia and Idaho. The remaining two tournaments were held for high-school debaters. The first was a student congress where students were given a chance to simulate the legislative p rocess. The high school debate tournament drew 63 schools and lasted two days. Phi Kappa Delta members worked

as organizers and judges at the event. "Besides tournaments, we hold a lot of social f unctions," said Rosemary Jones, Phi Kappa Della's publlcJty manager. " I n December, we have the annual Phi Kap bake-off, a Christmas par­ ty where we try to outdo each other's cooking. This year, Bundick and Maney made Baked Alaska." In May the team had a picnic and softball game with crosstown rivals UPS. A year-end banquet was also held In May, At the banquet. Inter­ squad awards were given, and departing members were roasted. For two graduating members. the end of their competition days doesn't mean the end of their association with debate. Madden plans to coach h i g h schOOl debate.

Members em­ phasize that this duty does not mean simply helping foreign students to adjust to American life, but also teach Americans about other cultures. The Intercultural Fair on March 6 was the largest event that ISO sponsored during the year, ac­ cording to Ranomatl Saing, ISO vi ce-president. This event Includes displays from ethnic groups on campus and In the community. ISO helped set up the boolhs, arrange the entertainment. and staff the information desk. On April 16, ISO honored the an­ niversary of Zimbabwe's Indepen-

As Mufaro Dube, a freshman from Zimbab­ we, explained at on earlier ISO meeting, teaching Americans about the problems of South Africa also helped to explain the Impor­ tance of Zimbabwe's Indepen­ dence. Dube joined Professor Er­ nest Dumor, from Ghana, to lead the discussion of Africa's social problems following the showing of the films "Who Has the Right to Rhodesia?" and "Generation of Resistance." An event designed to expose forei gn students to the Northwest was ISO's annual field trip to Seat­ tle which Included exploration of the Pike Place Market and the Seattle Science Center.

"Circle K is a service organization, the largest service organization In the world," stated Cheryl Ulleland, Circle K president. This year, the goals of Circle K In­ ternational, which Is sponsored by the Kiwanis, were service for the underprivileged, handicapped, youth and elderly In the com­ munity. The two-year-old PLU chapter sought to fulfill these goals by partiCipating In school and community activities. In the community, Circle K members worked on the March of Dimes Haunted House, the collec­ tion drive at local shopping cen­ ters, and the Mothers' March and Walkathon. Circle K began a visitation program for a local rest home: members went to the home twice a month and held special Christmas and Valentine's events. Working with the Battered Women's Shelter and the Bethel School District, Circle K provided

outings for troubled children in a one-to-one progra m that Included visits to PLU's Children's Theater productions. On campus, Circle K sponsored several blood drives as well as the popular Sadie Hawkins dance. During finals week, Circle K's bake sales provided students with a tasty study break . This year, the district convention for nearly 200 Circle K clubs was held in Seattle with PLU and UPS acting as the hosts. The present district governor, Jim Troyer of PLU, was replaced by Lute Fred Michel. In August. members plan on at­ tending the International Conven­ tion In Fort Worth, Texas. Ulleland describes Circle K as a club that Is growing. Besides con­ }inuing present programs, the club is also considering sponsoring a child overseas to affirm thei r commitment to "service to the community. "

Rick Seeger, director of the Undergraduate Accelerated Reentry for Adults (AURA) program said that a person finds it difficult to come "back to school" because most are not eligible for financial ald. which puts a strain on personal and

family budgets. "For Instance, take a woman who Is a single parent. a secretory and has equity on her home. She Is not eligible for financial aid and would have to take out a second mortgage to go to college, which would In足 crease her house payments." There were approximately 650 students enrolled at PLU during 1981 who were over 30. This group accounted for 1 .7 percent of the student population at the university. PLU has a program designed to help qualified adult students reenter college and ac足 celerate their progress toward a baccalaUreate degree. The AURA

(usually) be 30 years of age and not have been Involved In a baccalaureate degree program within the preceedlng five years, Seeger said. After students are Interviewed and tested they are assessed by the Academic Advising Center and recommended a course of action-either to proceed into the AURA program or take an alternative direction. Acceptan足 ce by the Office of Admission and the completion of one

calendar year of college are also required by the AURA program. Those who are enrolled In the AURA program can earn up to 40 credit hours by compiling a portfolio of their life experience. A committee of three faculty members Is formed to evaluate the portfolio and award credits. "This program speeds up the process of getting a degree," Seeger sold. "The credits a per足 son earns with his or her portfolio can be applied to their elective credits. Everyone Is stili required

"Most people in AURA come back to school because they want to change vocations or need a degree to advance their

job," Brink said. "I was motivated to get a degree because It will be useful to me In my business and help me pursue some other personal endeavors." BrInk chose to continue his education at PLU partly because of the school's con\£9nient location. but mostly because he has a "high regard for the faculty and level of education."

"Younger students are very helpful at making older students feel comfortable,"- BrInk said.

"They look to us for Insight since

we have experienced some of the subjects that are being discussed In class," Brink feels fortunate that his

business schedule can be juggled to accommodate his academic schedule. others are not so fortunate; "If someone works eIght to five they don't have access to the bookstore. financial aid office or business office. It causes difficulties," Seeger remarked. Not all older students on cam­ pus are enrolled In the AURA program. Joyce Eaton, a mother of five. came back to school to earn a degree in social work. She has been attending Green River Community College off and on for the past ten years. At the Community College she picked up an Associate Arts degree and a developmental degree.

"I always dreamed of coming to PLU. I've always thought of this university as first-class," Eaton said. Unable to receive financial ald. she took out a guaranteed student loon. and works part-time as an advisor for the Solo Parent Job Corps. Seeger said It lakes awhile for adult students to adjust to college life and realize what It Is all about.

ASPLU Increases I nternal Strength by GaURice Internal strength was the main goal sought by ASPlU President Alan Nakamura, as he worked through the 1981-82 school year with three other officers and nine senators. "I wonted to see the senate function as a unit, In spirit and in action; nol to preclude healthy debate, but rather, to promote harmony," Nakamura soid. The ASPlU is designed with a committee system as Its nucleus, Involving students In the planning of campus events and address academic and administrative concerns. The Election and Personnel Board (EPB) this year elevated to a senate commlHee. chaired by Vice President Brendan Mangan. Interviews and appoints students to the various ASPLU and University Committees. Student Involvement Increased this year, as a result of the First ASPLU Commlt1ee Rush, held In the Spring of 198 1 . Almost all of the 34 commlt1ee leadership positions were filled In a single weekend. Vice President Mangan acted as chair 01 both Senate and EPB and. oversaw the work of commlt1ees such as Academic Concerns, Rank and Tenure, Educational Policies and Honors Council. A Programming Committee was established to assist Program Director Jackie Spencer In coordinating the many campus programs throughout the year. The activities calendar was filled with the yearly events such as

ASPLU Sponsors Lectures "There are two ports to the Lee· ture Series," explained Marv Swenson. UC director and adviser to the ASPLU Lecture Series Com­ mittee. "First we help other groups finance lectures. Secondly. we select and sponsor approximately len speakers." lecture Series funded nine lec· tures In cooperation with other groups. Grants ranged from S 1 00 to 8400. according to Swenson. Groups were selected after the evaluation of request forms that the committee sends to all the clubs. In October, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's lecture was a Joint effort ot the Political Scien­ ce Club and the lecture Series. Three crew members of the Sea Sheph8fd, a conservation and research ship. showed slides and movies to explain their efforts at protecting marine mammals. Describing themselves as a police force to the International whaling community, the Sea Shepherd's activities have Included the ram­ ming of "pirate whalers" In the

Atlantic. The lecture drew about 60 students. "Of course, we'd like large audiences an the time, but it depends on the speaker," sold Swenson. "Now, Tom Murton talked to a packed house." Murton was the prison warded that served as the model for the movie "Brubaker." He spoke on his own efforts at reforming Tucker Prison Farm In Arkansas. Following his demand tor an Investigation of unmarked graves at the firm, MUr­ ton was tired In 1968 and has not since worked at an American prison.

One lecture that drew a larger percentage of non-students was Dr. Franz Michael's discussion of "China-Yesterday and Today." Swenson believed that this was due to Dr. Mordechal Rozanski's Involvement In publicity. Rozanski has led tours to Chino In the past. and members of those tours came to question Dr. Michael on his Im­ pressions of the PRe. Next year, SWenson would like to cut down the number of lecturers and spend the money on more well-known people. A campus p:>11 token In May showed John Chan­ celior to be the favorite choice of students for next year.

Murton's speech was an exam­ ple of the second part of the Lec­ ture Series where the community actively seeks speakers to bring to campus. "We select two or three speakers

The Man Behind the Actor William Windom's one-man show, "Ernie Pyle I and II," ended the 1981-82 Artist Series, But the April 19 performance did not mark the end of PlU's exposure to Win­ dom. Lower-campus residents watched the 59-year-old actor's tennis style when he beat ASPLU comptroller Bruce Berton 7-5. And April 20, Windom visited the Cave and answered questions about his show, post work and future plans. It was a rore opportunity for students to see the man behind theaclor. Windom has acted In every torm of the media, but In the theater world he Is best known for his on&­ man show. "Thurber I and II." which grew out of an earlier TV series, "My World and Welcome to It." The format of the show was simple: one set. a slide projector and screen to show Thurber's car­ toons. and Windom Interpreting the American humorist's cynical stories. The show become popular on the college circuit and was finally presented on PBS, The format of "Pyle" Is similar. The set consisted of a stool. a bat­ tered writing desk and chair, and Windom. os Ernie Pvte. works on one 01 his G.L Joe ortlcles.

A screen was used during the second half of the program to show Howard Brodie's sketches of WW II soldiers while the blffersweet 19405 M "White Cliffs of Dover" played In the background. If the format was similar, the material was not. Ernie Pyle. a columnist for the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain, was best known for his simple. sympathetic descriptions of "GI Joss" In Africa during WW II . Although Pyle was popular at the time, he never achieved the literary style or fame of Thurber. Windom began to In­ vestigate Pyle's writing seven years ago when, he explained, he was offered money to do a one-man show on anything but Thurber. During his talk at the Cove. Win· dom revealed that he had started out with the basiC concept 01 doing a show on WW II because It was the "only thing I cored about," In the beginning, he had planned to use selections from novels like catch 22, but decided on Pyle because 01 his accurate portraits of the GI's life. During his research, Windom discovered the travel columns that Pyle wrote before the war. These home-spun visions of America formed the first act of the show. Windom sold the hardest part of developing a one-man show Is deciding what not to use. After working on "Pyle" for six months, Windom presented the show free to five Southern California univer­ sities In return for audience feed­ back. Now, seven years later, WIndom stili questions students on what they liked and disliked about the show. He uses the Information to continue the polishing of the performance. While he talked, Windom's sense of humor seemed to be closer to

The one-man show allows the actor creative freedom while the director today Is a "yes-man" for producers and big-nome ac­ tors, Windom said. Shows where he has control over his own work are "exciting" for Windom. "A good script, a good audien­ ce" are Windom's recipe for a successful show.

asked to explain how to break Into legitimate theater, he dryly replied, "Ue about your experien­ ce." In a more serious vein, Windom advised that the best preparation tor the theater was to work at any Job. "Don't let your parents support you," he said. "By the time you get out of college, you should hove hod ten or 20 Jobs." Working teaches self-reliance, an attitude that Windom credited

as a major factor In his success. He learned self-reliance early when, as an asthmatic only Child, he spent his school years getting "beat up a tot."

C No Bats . . .

Initial planning for the renovatIon of the Cave began In conjunctIon with the construction of the Univer­ sIty Centsr In 1964. Milton Nesvlg, who was the manager of the "SUB" (student Union Building), which Is now Ingram Hall, from 1947-1956 recalls the actual opening of the newly-revamped "Diet" Into the "Red Lyon", which, according to Nesvlg, occurred on November 9, 1970. Also according to the SAGA of this same year. elaborate facilities were added. These In-

Eleven years later. the Cove Is stili at the hub of student life. Presently operated by Director Mike Ottls and Assistant Director Marla Mar­ vin. the Cave sponsors everything from Dixieland jau to dorm din­ ners. As opposed to the cramped. close working quarters of the "Worm" ere. the Cave Is currently able to seat and serve ap­ proximately 150 to 200 peopie. Funded by ASPLU and advised by the committee known as the

By taking advantage of writing talent on campus, the Saga staff encourages greater student involvement, and, hence, more enthusiasm towards the book. A lack of enthusiasm in both staff and students has been a problem in the past. Rice says that people take It for granted that there will be a record of their years here, even if they're not wllllng to give Input to It. The Inherent problem is that Saga

Pacific lutheran's drama def:)O(­ tment kept the Eostvold stage filled this past year with a number of productions. Student actors were given the opportunity to try acting In many types of plays as the theater presented comedy, Iragedy and children's ploys. Beginning the year was a French farce, A Flea In Her Ear. written by Georges Feydeau. The play was a fasl-paced comedy, filled wllh twisted plot complications, and mistak�n identities outrageous characters, Jeanine Hopp, Sydnle Bond and Thomas Houskin were featured performers. dr. Michael Arndt was the direc­ tor. Bringing the audience onto the stage for the next play, Look Back In Anger. Director Bill Parker sought to Involve the audience by their proximity. The ploy was the first in on entire era of ploys about

"angry young men." ''The characters felt trapped by SOCiety: they looked back in frustration because they didn't have the courage to look to the future," explained Parker. Jeff Roy. Erwin Rosen, Karla Baker, Rebecca Torvend and Ron Stanghoenner were the entire cost of this intense play. Childrens's Theater presented two favorite children's stories: The Three lear. and The Brave ltttle Tailor, filling Easlvold wllh children's shrieks of delight during Saturday matinee performances. Holtl Muenscher, as Goldilocks, was surrounded by furry com­ panions leesle Assam. Matthew Orme and Ted Thomas as the ac­ tion of the ploy led the actors Into the audience.

spiritual independence to the dic­ tator, played by TIm Fink. She argues that the state's stand has no validity against a higher moral law or the sanctity of human dignity. Antigone becomes a mar­ tyr for her beliefs. Turning back to a lighter vein, Arndt directed another comedy, this time a Noel Coward produc­ tion called Hay Fever. It was a sophisticated comedy, with daz­ zling sets; centered on a play about an eccentric family that plays a game of romantic musical chairs with their houseguests. The famity was played by Tom Hausken, Rebecca Torvend, Jeanine Hopp and David Nelson. The final production of the year was directed by Ken Terrell. called Kennedy', Children. Performed on the Cave stage, it was an Inten­ se play about five people who grew up In the Kennedy era, and their growing disillusionment with life. The University Theater, with Its dif­ ferent actors and di rectors provIded the PLU community with a brood range of dramatiC works, pleasing everyone af least once.

Communication Arts professor Eric Nordheim dIrected the next children's play, based on the Grimm's folrytole The Brave LttUe Tailor. Not liking to use the phrase.

Judd Doug hty Remembers KPLU by John Ubben Judd Doughty has been with KPLU, Pacific lutheran's radio station. since Its beginning In 1 966. He came to PLU in 1 962. ofter working for KOMO, and began as program director of KPLU until 1 967. when the radio and television departments were separated from the com­ munication/speech department. Doughty was then named the new director of radio and N, which gave him the responsibility of general manager of KPLU. He has held this position until last spring, when health reasons caused him to step down from the administrative responsibilities. Doughty slll1 plays on active port in training station staff, "We had a good time, we learned a great deal," says Doughty, as he reminisces about

"

" r:--

KPLU's beginnings as a 1 0 watt radio station, when a broad­ casting day was four hours long and technical problems simply meant that the station would go off the air until they were fixed. /4:) a father looks back over the years of his children's growth, Doughty remembers the pains of watching the tiny 1 0 watt station grow to its present-day 100,000 watts. His light-hearted memories only hint at his deep devotion to serving people through this medium. " . . .the broadcast spec­ trum Is a natural resource. It is free and open and it belongs to people. . .the privilege of having the frequency, a license to broadcast and because we are the university we are, we have a perfect opportunity to develop station power and Its outreach for the benefit of people."

This idea became the station's influence for growth . Doughty developed a five-year plan to boost the power and range of the station in 1968, in answer to studies conducted by the FCC to monitor the development of ten watt stations who were oc­ cupying valuable frequency space. This plan "called for us to develop our frequency to the limit of its capability which Is 100,000 watts, full stereo . . .any­ thing less than that would limit yourself in your capability of reaching people," Doughty said. "It would have been irresponsible to do it all at once . . . 1 felt that we could grow In stages." Doughty laughs when he tells about the next transmitter KPLU bought. Dave Christian, current chief technician for the station,


found a Gates 5kw transmlHer In the work shed of a commercial station in Bellingham. After

dusting off the cobwebs, Terry

Denvrook, who was an engineer for the Office of Radio and TV, and station program manager, disappeared Into the bowels of Eastvold basement to get It Into working order. "He was probably out of sight for about two mon­ ths," Doughty joked. "I didn't know he was still working for us' was the joke in the office." In 1972 the new transmiHer and antennae capacity brought the transmitting power up to 40,000 watts. "These were the dark years," says Doughty about the time period from '72 until KPLU moved its transmitter off cam·pus. "We were bad guys," he said. The new transmitter caused Inter­ ference with local TV sets and many angry Sunday afternoon football fans blamed KPLU ad· ministration for the technical problem. From '72 until '77 KPLU staf f began talking about moving the transmitter off campus. Part of the goal for the station, In Doughty's mind, was to become an affiliate of National Public Radio, which requires members to have on 1 8 hour day. To achieve this, the transmitter needed to be moved. After much searching for a location for the transmitter, Christian came to Doughty's of· fice, sat down and began to chuckle. Doughty knew a new location had been found; an ideal site In Olalla complete with a microwave tower to be used for an antennae. "I had to go out on the street and raise the money," says Doughty; the university couldn't fund the project. With the help of a federal grant and money raised In the community, KPLU purchased the property, anten­ na, transmitter, miles of cable and other equipment needed to bring the station up to 100,000 watt status, which was achieved

' In March, 1980. In July of '80 KPLU became an affiliate of National Public Radio and in February of 1981 became a fully qualified Corporation for Public Broadcasting station, meaning the goal of being a developed station, equipped to serve the needs of the public, became practfcally feasible. With a warmth generated by recalling the satisfaction of years of watChing students learn to become professionals, he ex· plains the role of the student at KPLU. "The need for a student staff is obvious; they help to keep it on the air. Their role In the station runs the gamut of the positions you'd find In a broad­ cast house." he said. "A student employed at the radio station today is In charge during his or her shift; Involving over 5 1 80.000 worth of electroniCS . . . 1 think the role of our student staff is as close as you can come to a professional assignment, without being a full-time employee." KPLU's objectives tie In closely with Doughty's personal vision of service. Radio has tremendous potential to reach people, and for radio to be good, he says, "It has to do something to people." "When you're broadcasting you're not talking to rocks, nor are you talking to yourself," says Doughty, relating his personal

Judd Doughty

feeling. "You're talking to people, and there's nothing more exciting than knowing that you ore going to be heard by people, people who have the ability to respond." The station's mission Is defined as one of responsibility. Doughty points out, in a mission statement he prepared, that its first respon­ sibility is to people, "to Inform, educate and entertain with radio programming, purposefully designed to enrich and ennoble the mind and spirit of its listeners. " It does this through a music, of format classical literature, drama, Jazz music and public affairs progra mming. KPLU is also responsible to provide a means to reflect the mission and interests of PLU to the listening public. With the capability of transmit­ ting north to Bellingham, south to Vancouver, east to Issaquah ond west to the Ocean, KPLU has the power to become a major education and entertainment source In the Northwest, and Doughty looks at the future of KPLU, under the direction of Dr. Martin Neeb, with optimism. KPLU has come a long way from Its 1 0 watt beginnings. Much of that growth has been the result of the dreams of one man, Judd Doughty.

Performing Ensembles 'A performin g ensemble Is morE:t than Just a machine thot pumps out music on command. It Is a living force: states Bill Scharff, University Chorale President. For the musician seeking to become part of that 10rce', PLU of­ fers a wide variety of music groups ranging from vocal to Instrumen­ tal. Probably the most well·known of these groups Is the nationally ac­ claimed Choir of the West, The 53 members ore selected cfter rigorous auditions In the fall. then In the winter and spring tour the notion's concert halls. Choir of the West was formed flf· ty years ago when 42 PLU singers were sent on on 8.000 mile tour sponsored by Tacoma ciViC groups to promote the city, In the Midwest. they were given the nickname 'Choir of the West'. The name has since become a label for musical excellence; a trodltlon that was upheld during the B l-B2 spring tour 01 V¥ashlngton, Oregon and California.

Christmas Creates Unity Diversity seems to be the major cha racteristic of PlU's music program. But every Christmas, unity becomes the theme AS three major PLU musical ensembles Join to present a program that goes for beyond simple caroling.

During December. the Choir of the West. University Chorale and members of the University Sym­ phony Orchestra come together to present a Christmas festival con­ cert called 'In Excelsls Gloria: Music In Celebration of the Nallvlty.' This year. the program was held In Olson Auditorium for the first time. The size of both the choirs and the audience necessitated the move from the traditional East­ void building. Several times during the concert both choirs and the orchestra appeared on stage together. an Impossible feat on th smaller Eostvold stage. Olson Auditorium was filled for all three Tacoma concerts. serving as testimony to the reputation for excellence that PlU has earned for Its Christmas concerts. The first half featured a prelude by the University Bross Ensemble. traditional carols. and processionals. The processionals gave a feeling of light and color 10 the concert as the choir members carried candles and banners to

the stage. Throughout the Ilrst half of the concert, the two choirs flowed on and off the stage. at times surrounding the audience on three sides. Edward Harmlc directed the ChOir of the West. and Richard Nace directed the University Chorale during Ihls port of Ihe concert.

The second half of the concert was devoted to Arthur Honegger's 'A Christmas Cantata: The can­

That Is. telling the members of the PLU community that each In­ dividual Is claimed and cared for by God.

The experience that students gain at PlU can enhance their skills; they learn through planning and leading retreats, forming evangelistic min istries (such as visiting nursing homes and prisons), and serving on any of the several ministry councils or committees.

"We Intend to look at the Identity and mission of the univer­ slty, exploring the Christian context of the school," commented Pastor Tellefsen. There are eight opportunities for worship offered by Campus Ministry In a week. University congregation meets every Sunday at 8 and 1 0 a.m. There is a Chicago Folk Service which meets In the Regency Room Sunday evening at 9 p.m. Evensong, on Monday nights at 10, Is a quiet, medltatlonal service, while ReJoice, which takes place on Wednesday nights at 9:30, In­ volves lots of PLU students In Jubilant folk-singing. Both of these mid-week services are held In Tower Chapel and are extremely popular. Chapel Is also a mid-week ser­ vice, held at 1 0 a.m. every Mon­ day. Wednesclay and Friday. Sin­ ce 1969 It has been held In Trinity Lutheran Church, but this spring It was relocated In Eastvold Auditorium. This was done as a measure to recentrallze worship within the PlU community. The university congregation has a council mode up of students, which encourages student Input In the worship s8fVlces. Jerry Buss. the 1981-82 president of the council. said that It Is "definitely a student-

run congregation." The students work In such areas as visitation of Shelton Prison and various nursing

homes. outdoor services. leHe,· writing campaigns. baking com­ munion bread, and hymn selec­ tion. The pastors present a text study of their upcoming sermon so the students can even help make the sermons relevant to the congregation, Buss said. Chapel Is diverse because of the varied forms of worship and the different people involved In plan­ ning. One day, students and faculty may hear a noted theologian, another day may be filled with hymn-singing, and on yet another day there might be a

presentation by a history prof who relays Norwegian Jokes while sharing a gospel message. The Chicago folk service oNers an Informal form of worship. Brian Trefry. a member of the service planning committee. describes the service as an alternative to the traditional service. "The service," said Trefry. "Is more relaxed, but It stili has the basic framework of the Lutheran service with its con­ fessionals and creeds, and its of­ fering of the sacraments." Evensong is described by Its leader, Steve Carlson, as a "time out" period from the world. It Is a personal service where one sits In darkness and prays or meditates. "The uniqueness of the service," Carlson said, "Is that It Is a rare opportunity to have a quiet time. To stop and do nothing." In the past year, the Rejoice ser­ vice attendance has skyrocketed. Dave Housholder, who coor­ dinates the service. said the reason Is Inclusion of stronger music. "That Is the key," Housholder said. "Rejoice Is simply a praise service. bringing people of different beliefs together." There

Leadership Training. sponsored by Young Life, Is primarily In­ terested In discipleship, accor­ dlnll to leader Roller Mallory. "It provides the tools," Mallory said. "to minister and lead groups like Young Life. and Bible studies. leadership Training also sponsors several small-group Bible studies."

Moronotho Coffeehouse features Christian singers and speakers each Saturday night In the Cave. The coffeehouse provides an alternative for Satur­ day nights, Its coordinator, Rich Hamlin, said. Maranatha offers an opportunity for those blessed with gifts to share them with God. "We are not a tatent agency," Hamlin said. The night has a little of Hamlin: everything, said and praise, evangelism, education. The Men's Bible Study centers on teaching and the sharing of scrip­ ture, Barry Spomer, a founder of the study, said. The study Is dlsclpllne-orlented with Iloal set­ tlnll. "We then try to hold each other accountable to their goals," Spomer said. Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship Is a time of singing and sharing,

The Earth Science department offers two degrees-a bachelor of arts In earth science and a bachelor of science in geology. Lowes says that the strength of the department lays in Its small size. This facilitates the deveiop­ ment of a really supportive group and allows for more field excur­ sions. Lowes encourages In­ dividuals to consider earth science as a car88f, because besides the fact that Jt is wide open, it allows a person to be outside as much as they want and lets them travel "to remarkable places."

Today, the SChool ot­ fers two degrees, a Bache/or of Business Administration and a Moster of BusIness Administration, with a variety of concentrations available. These concentrations include accounting, finance. marketing. operations management. personnel and In­ dustrial relations. The popularity of business cour­ ses has forced the School of Business to strictly regulate ad­ their classes. Into missions Students wishing to toke business courses musl first obtain an "eligibility card" before they can register. Upper-dlvlslon classes are closed to freshmen and sophomores. The study of business at PLU. as at ott colleges and universities in America today. is the most

frequently chosen field of study by students both returning for their second degree as well as a course of study by new students. With an increase In the demand for qualified people In the business community and the im­ proving condition 01 the business market. students wishing to turn their investment in higher education into one that pays af­ ter graduation. are entering the School of Business to do Just thaI.

I nterim 1 982: The first week of 1982 brought snow piling on the ground, and hopes for a fun-filled and ex­ citing Interim. The month-long term proved to be exact ly that: a time filled with Interest ing classes, lectures, a film series, and even a weekly square dancing class led by Harry Adorns, a professor in the Physics Department. On the surface, Interim ap­ pears to be a loose, easy-going, simple way to earn a quick four credits. Yet below lies a com­ plex, intricate organlzatJon or countless Ideas. proJects, and classes. The 1982 Interim Commit­ tee first met In the beginning of 1 98 1 . Comprised of faculty, ad­ ministration, and students. the commlHee spent nearly a full year planning and plotting the 1 982 Interim session. The result was a well-organized, smoothly­ run month filled with many dif· ferent opport unities for the students at PLU. The PLU academic calendar is based upon the 4-1-4 system, semesters are where two separated by a month-long session. Judith Carr, the Interim Coordinator and administrative member of the Interim Commit­ tee, said, "The administration feels strongly that they want to continue the 4-1-4 calendar." The advantages of this system are made obvious by the oppor­ tunities offered to the students and faculty during the Interim session. "The purpose of Interim," Carr says, "is to encourage students to move outside their maJor, to allow them to expand their liberal arts educat ion. In­ terim is also a very stimulating time for the faculty In terms of personal and academic growth." The Committee began its plan­ ning by reviewing proposed curriculum for inclusion in the course offerings for Interim. Eric Johnson, one of the Committee's

The experience was very In­ teresti ng." The Committee decided on a theme of "Com­ munity" for the 1 982 Interim. The activities for the month were planned around this theme. Johnson planned the 111m festival with the world community In mind: ten different societies were represented by ten films. "The festival went well. The student turnout was good and the feed­ back was even beHer," he said. He organized the square dan­ cing class with the Idea of promoting a greater harmony within the PlU community. Judy Carr organized the lecture series which presented lectures on biology, and Col. Thomas Schaefer, a former hostage In Iran, amongst others. Ultimately. the Committee decided upon the curriculum for the month. Classes with such diverse names as "Dreams," "The Creative Personality," "Other

pus. Off-campus classes such as "Old Testament Studies: The lan­ ds ot the Bible" traveled to Israel and Egypt, and "On Becoming Human" sailed the waters of Puget Sound for nine days. Several core classes were of­ fered during January. Students were able to complete University requirements I n Art. English, Economics, Phi losophy, Chemistry. and Religion in only four weeks rather than four mon­ ths. Nancy Snider said, "Taking a core class allowed me to finish a requirement In a one-month class. It was Intense, but since it was my only class, I stili got to do the things i wanted to do." Approximately 60 percent of PlU students attend Interim each year. The month provides a chance for students to take ad­ vantage of the many CUrricular and extra-curricular activities of­ fered. Mike lehman. a student from los Angeles area, said, "It was greatl I got a chance to do a slide show that I've wanted to work on for a long time. It was a fantastic chance to spend a month doing my own thing." A fascinating and rewarding facet of Interim Is the Interim Ex­ change program run In conjun­ ction with over 25 Christian colleges and universities across the United States. PlU was host to 93 students from various colleges ranging from UPS to California lutheran College In Thousand Oaks, California, to Mt. St. Mary's In Emmitsburg. Maryland. Over 50 PlU students traveled to other colleges and universities and brought back with them the experience of having lived for a month In another community. Beth Neufeld, who attended St. Olaf of Minnesota, said, "It was a great time to meet new people, to Jive In a different en­ vironment: just a fabulous ex­ perience."

Another rewording program on campus during the month Is the Interim Residence program. In addition to his committee duties. Eric Johnson also took the jump from student to stoff during January. He would "recommend the program to anybody who wants to get to know people in another dorm. to know RLO, to gather a new perception of dorm life from a different angle." He says, "I loved It because the

wing was a great group of guys." Other people involved In the program. Mike Morter and Terl Heine, agreed with Johnson. Heine said. "It was a valuable learning experience for me and an opportunity to meet a lot of new friends. I hod a lot of fun." Interim is a special time for the professors. too. Frosty Westerlng was able to toke time out from his duties of coaching and teaching to present a class on Sports Motivation. He feels that "people are responding so much [to motivational seminars]. our own kids deserve the chance to get some of this stuff." Many

that they normally wouldn', get a chance to teach. Westerlng said, "When you devise a closs, you get that much more Into It: It becomes a special and rewar' ding time." He feels thot one facet of Interim Is to provide students the chance to take a closs from a specific professor. "From a teaching point of view, It's great I Students definitely should toke advantage of the opportunity presented to them." The culminating event of the month was the Interim Fair. Organized by Judy Carr and Eric Johnson, the Fair allowed studen· ts the chance to present what they learned durIng the session.

Carr said, "Classes like Bond, Dance, Stage Combat, and Chinese Culture and Cuisine don't really get a chance to show off. The Fair offers the chance for these students to show what their new knowledge consists of. It Is a time to explain, a time to shore," Johnson SOld, "The Fair went really well. but future commiHees will need to work on ways to increase student Involvement and attendance."

The theme of the community was seen at the Fair, too. Virginia Adams' Ecology closs presented ·an exhibit detailing life in plan! communities. Krlsty Loreen, a student In the closs, sold, "It was

Teaching Students to Teach With slightly sweaty palms, dusty piece of chalk: In hand, and all those expectant faces gazing up at you-how do you begin to fill young minds full 01 words and reason and ex­ citement? The students think: you're a teacher, but do you think so? Those feelings might be ex­ perienced by any student teacher on their first day of student teaching. With three years of knowledge from the School of Education, these students set out with high ideals and a file box full of "ideas," They are the un Iverslty students who grade more papers than they write and who spend iote nights i n the lounge cutting out construction paper letters for colorful bulletin boards. These dedicated students may be working In elementary, secondary, or special education . They ore the products of an ever­ growing School of Education, where the goal Is to develop educational personnel sensitive to the varied Individual needs of learners. The motto used by Dr. 1.

Kent Gerlach, the Special Education Coordinator, applies to the attitude of the whole School of Education: "All education is special. because each child Is unique." One of the most unique aspec­ ts of the elementary education program Itself Is the exceptional amount of field experience each student receives. In Education 251 they spend at least 60 hours In one of the schools in the area. In the teaching methods course, they are there 125 hours, and while full-time student teaching involves 450 hours In the elemen­ tary school setting. Thus by the time these students graduate, they are quite familiar with the school room and have ac­ cumulated an Impressive collec­ tion of teaching aids, materials, and clever ideas. Some of the creative proJects student teachers plan can make other college students wish they were back In the brightly colored rooms of elementary school. One unit on pioneers gave the children a chance to bake cor­ nbread and churn their own but-

ter. A unit on nutrition included banana-peanut butter-granola snacks. A folk dance unit taught energetic youngsters traditional dances which they later perfor­ med for PLU's own Mayfest Dan­ cers. The pass/fall nature of most elementary ed classes allows prospective educators to share their knowledge and skills with each other In a non-competitlve atmosphere-another strength of the program. Elementary education students, though specializing in one area, have a very brood-based, general background that would allow them to teach almost anything at the elementary level. which touches upon the chief dif­ ference between elementary and secondary, beyond the age levels being taught. Secondary education has a less generalized teaching methods classes, but rather, they concentrate in a specific academic area. Further, secon­ dary teachers have a strong grounding educational In psychology, dealing with lear­ ning theories, and behavior management. Students In the secondary program have one less field ex­ perience than at the elementary level. Alternatively, In their methods class students teach a five-minute, single objective lesson to their peers. Within this micro-teach ing episode many of the components of "real life" teaching, generally excepting behavioral problems. One student gave a five-minute lesson on how to Juggle, instructing his peers just how high to throw the balls and how to coordinate the erratic movements of two hands and three balis. While both the elementary and secondary areas of the School of Education

reputation, It Is the Special Education deportment that Is currently receiving particular at­ tention. Special education deals with children who ore handicap­ ped, physically or mentally. as well as those who are gifted. Special education Is one of the fastest growing departments in the University because, accor­ ding to Dr. Gerlach, "teachers are realizing that to find jobs, they need special education background." In fact, next year special ad wilt be required of all education students. Because of the federal law requiring all handicapped children to receive an appropriate education, "molnstreamlng" occurs, and teacher flexibility cnd resour­ cefulness Is a must In order to deal with a variety of children requiring special attention. PLU offers a generalist degree In special ed, which exposes the student to a greater variety of exceptions. Formerly, the special education emphasis was post­ un­ however graduate, dergraduate work Is currently being encouraged. The depor­ tment will soon be adopting a Masters degree program In special education. The formation of the SCEC (Student CounCil for Exceptional Children) at PLU reflects a

growing concern for exceptional children. The council Is a notional organization whose membership is open to all PLU students. It deals with issues and events concerning the excep­ tional child. Also open to individuals within all majors are the special ed courses themselves. An under­ standing of individual differences will prove useful in any social set­ ting, and constant growth is visible In the number of area where Individuals with Special Education background are in demand.

teachers will be exhausted; new teachers will be in high demand. Once a student has graduated and found a job, Wash ington requires that 30 more hours of specialized study be completed over the next four years. This "fif­ th year" program helps teachers to deal with problems that have arisen and helps them to toke advantage of their strengths on skills. In addition, to those students who graduate with a Bachelor of Arts In Education, there are also students who receive degrees in other area, but In addition take the classes required to get their teach ing certification. Dr. Olson feels that this is one way of making as many opportunities for oneself as possible. The skills that a student of education learns can be useful In many oreas­ because learning and teaching never stops and on effective educator can be a more sen­ sitive. effective human being.

Nursing: "Self and Society" "I like people and I want to help them"-It's the same thing you'll hear from most PlU nursing stu­ dents, whether they're carrying a newborn baby or one of the thick binders that have become their trademark. It Is this conviction that carries the students through six levels of a stressful yet rewarding experience. By the time they graduate, they only need to take state board exams before becoming full-fledged registered nurses. Nursing at PLU means more than making beds and giving shots. Nursing students study liberal arts as well as nursing skills, and Dr. Doris Stucke. Director of Nursing, says that this "makes them more human," According to Dr. Stucke, besides having a good under­ standing of the scientific principles behind nursing. they are also "very much aware of the patient as a person."

However. as expressed In the School of Nursing's unifying theme, "Self and Society." before a nurse can really understand and help others. he or she must be able to understand themselves and their place In society. This concern becomes one of the main em­ phases of level I. where students are exposed to the history and philosophy of nursing. It Is a period of self-discovery and the development of leadership. as well as study skills. learning. throughout the nursing program, is self-paced and requires learned discipline. Each student pays a number of visits to an elderly per­ son in the community. In level II. students begin to learn many of the basic skills of nursing. They first practfce with a peer part­ ner. learning- among other things-how to give physicals and shots. Technique for shot-giving Is actually practiced on an orange,

but for the test. the partners give each other shots. According to one former level II student. "It·s scary because someone's giving you a shot that's never done it before." After mastering the skill, the student nurses will be allowed to don their crisp, new blue-ond­ white uniforms and go out into the clinical setting. At Immunization clinics they give shots to people of all ages. Most challenging are the patients between 1 8 months and four years old, who are usually screaming and have flailing arms and legs. other skills are practiced within the skills laboratory-a group of rooms set up to Simulate a real hospital situation. Here the patients lay quietly In six neatly mode beds, their painted eyes staring at the ceiling. NurSing students can practice almost any skill on these mannequins, inserting tubes here and there, tying on bandages, moving them to wheelchairs, even dressing them. At one side of the room, a rubber arm lays palm up on a table; It's a tool for practicing transfusions. 8y the sinks are baby dolls wrapped In fuzzy blankets awaiting baths, while a green plastic fish and a yellow duck float on the surface of the warm bath water. Though some people can take a whole shower In three m i n utes, when working with newborns. student nurses must spend three minutes washing the hands and forearms alone. By level III. the men and women In the closs are a close-knit group, studying together and supporting each other. which Is especially important in this level. In level III, according to Dr. Stucke, "Students receive a large amount 01 diverse Iflad materiaL while trying to ad­ just to being In the sick environ­ ment." They spend Increasing

omounts of time In the cllnlcol set­ ting and are given more respon-

slbility. Half of the time span! In a Clinical environment Is In a medical/surgical wing where the students deal mostly with stroke patients and those who have had surgery. Often the patients are at­ tached to so many tubes that sim­ ply changing a gown may take half an hour. This Introduction to "real life" nursing can be a sobering experience. One in­ credible experience occurred one morning when a group of students was af the hospital and an older man, dressed and ready to go home, had a heart attock. According to one of them, 'We saw him die ...we were all kind of In shock." Their instructor quietly stated, "You have to appreciate life every single day." The remainder of level III clinical experience is In obstetrics, further Increasing an appreciation of life by allowing students to witness its beginning. Says one enthusiastic level III nurse, "You're watching the birth and you can see the top of the head, then all of a sudden It's out and the head looks really big." Also in level III, each student is assigned a "pregnant mom," and is In close contact with her through the months of pregnancy, the ac­ tual birth, and the experiences following birth. Each ring of the phone causes level III students to jump as the time for the birth draws near. They're almost as anxious as the eXf)9Ctant mother, waiting for the call to the hospital. One girl excitedly left her own birthday par­ ty to be with her "mom" when she gave birth. In level IV, students apply their skills to more serious medical con­ ditions and also experience In­ stitutionalized psychiatric nursing. One past level IV student noted that "When you go In to the psych wards, you have stereotypes, but discover that they're not always

true." Patience. common sense, and good listening skills are im­ perative wfth one patient who constantly asks you to marry him, and another who I nsists on wearing bright orange polyester pants and an aloha shirt. By level V, students begin to feel that "things kind of fall I n place. . . and I can make sense of a problem on my own," according to one student In that level. The future nurses are now responsible for acutely III patients and are more Involved In community nur­ sing projects. They may be working with a school nurse, helping In alcohol rehabilitation, teaching hygiene classes or of­ fering a number of other health services. At the close of level V, the blue­ and-white uniforms are replaced by fresh completely white ouHlts that Identify the student as a per­ son now operating as a professional. In level VI. they are Immersed in the professional role, spending eight hours a day, four days a week in a selected area of

nursing, working sfde-by-slde with a registered nurse. Dr. Stucke says that besides giving the students "a chance to pull It all together." It definitely helps them to get jobs In the areas they choose. According to Stucke, one of the real strengths of the nursing program Is · that practical experience Is built right Into the curriculum. All average of 80 to 85 of the 96 students who start I n level I graduate as nurses per year. They've mode it through the periods of "Why am I doing this?" Sometimes students find that the theory nursing they've learned is Idealistic and hard to apply in the work setting. However. an un­ derlying belief In total core-physical, social, spiritual, and psychological-always serves as guidance. Dr. Stucke feels that nursing Is becoming an I n ­ creaSingly exciting field, as nurses are given more responsibility for care, diagnosis, and decisions. PLU nursing graduates are caring Individuals, well prepared to be leaders In their field.

Physical Ed ucation Diversity Is the main thrust of the School of Physical Education at Pacific Lutheran University. Paul Hoseth, under Athletic Director David Olson, sees the depar­ tment as an umbrella, with recreation, athletics, therapeutics, Intramurals, health, dance, club sports, as a coor­ dinated, single system. The academic program offers moJors In Physlcol Educotlon, Recreation and Therapeutics and offers minors In Coaching, Health and Dance. Hoseth stated that the minor in coaching is often token by Education majors out­ side of the field of physicol education. "Although

Washington doesn't require a coaching certificate, you should have some background If you're going to have that responsibility." Hoseth said. He added that the coaching minor often Increases the student's chances of success in the job market since many public schools are finding it dif­ ficult to get good coaches that can also teach other subjects. Another purpose of the Physical Education program is to teach students to be more aware of the needs for physical activity. The PE 100 class, which is required for all students, was developed by Professor Gary Chase to help the student assess his own physical condition and skills. The class

encourages students to develop independent programs of activity to improve their bodies, focusing on increasing circulation and heart tone. Other PE classes, such as canoeing and basic mountaineering, are offered to make PLU residents more aware of recreational activities in the Northwest. The PLU Physical Education department is designed to develop a "sound mind and body" as well as prepare those people who desire a career in athletics. PLU athletics Is in­ VOlvement, and, as the trophy case in Olson Auditorium testifies, It Is also an involvement of ex­ cellence.

President, Provost - Sharing in Strength The "Sharing I n Strength" pro­ gram, created to establish neces­ sary funds for major campus development and launched In 1979 by PLU President William O. Rieke, has raised over 57.3 million. Aimed at building new facilities such as a fine arts building, construction has been delayed but not forgoHen. With the delay In the removal of the waste-water treatment facility on campus and a re-evoluatlon of priorities, PLU will continue raising money for the eventual campus remodel. Raising funds In the past In­ volved donations from Northwest Lutheran Churches, PLU AlumnI, campus personnel and local foundations. This year, however, PlU Initialed a "corporate phase" campaign and appoin­ ted Dr. George Wade, president 01 Seattle Security Savings and loon Association; and Dr. Thomas Anderson, chairman of Tacoma's Concrete Corporation, as chairmen of the "Shoring In Strength" program. Anderson and Wade will work at raising money from the business community In the North­ west. The business community is served by PlU's consumption of over 56.5 million of consumer goods and by the university's business programs that provide employees for many Northwest corporations. these From businesses, PlU hopes to gather additional funds for the program.

Greenbacks and

Guidance

While many schools are losing students due to high tuition costs, PLU continues to increase its student population. James Van Beek, Dean of Ad­ missions, said that it was the high retention of students that caused the unexpected housing crunch this year. Von Beek's office sends out Information to prospective students, evaluates applications received, and then counsels new students when they register. Counseling done on a one-to­ one basis for freshmen Is a unique process designed to ease the student into PlU life. During the early summer, freshmen come to the Admissions office where they meet with one of Admissions' eleven counselors. Student ond counselor sit down and discuss academic strengths and weaknesses. Then the coun­ selor assigns a faculty advisor and registers the freshman for his classes. The process allows freshmen to

avoid the long lines and con­ fusion of a fall registration. Don Yoder, Associate Dean of Ad­ missions, coordinated the early registration program which in­ volves over 700 hours of coun­ seling. For many

Hassle-free Dorm Life is the Goal of RLO The Residential Ufe Office over­ sees the activities of the dorms and their staffs under the direc­ tion of louralee Hagen. Hall directors, assistant hall directors and resident assistants are students entrusted with the responsibility of enforcing univer­ sity policy while providing an at· mosphere that encourages student growth and personal development. It Is a difficult and often frustrating task; a task that Is not always clearly understood. "Some see us as police dogs. others as their mom away from mom," sold one staff member. "Well, we're neither; we're students doing a Job." The complexity of the Job Is Illustrated clearly In the RLO staff handbook, which tells how to handle everything from bomb threats to Insect bites. According to the RlO handbook: "Make yourself available on a dally basis by Initiating per­ sonal contact and Interaction with the residents." Just being there Is the most Important duty of an RA according to RLO. For disoriented freshmen, the RA serves as a guide, explaining where to pay tuition, get aca­ demic counseling or find an on-campus job. The RA also in­ troduces freshmen at the first wing meeting, encouraging the people who live together to know one another. "Each residential life staff member Is expected to take part In . . .the commlHee system. " The RLO commiHees reinforce and Increase a professionalism In the staff and encourage in­ teraction among the various dorms.

" Student housekeepers and desk workers are under the direct supervision of the hall directors. The hall director has to work with the hall bud­ get. and oversee the use of RLO's "venture capital" and other budgets. Venture capital is the S 1 5,000 set aside by the university for improving the dorms. Hall directors submit the final proposals for remodeling to RLO after consulting with the RAs and dorm residents. "Rules should be constantly

enforCed," Discipline Is the har­

dest job for many RAs to per-

form. Write-ups concerning vio­ lations of universIty policy often cause resentment. The RLO counsels Its staff to be sure of the facts before reporting a stu­ dent. and discourages wrlte­ ups based on hearsay or In­ tuition. The rules, according to the handbook, exist for the pur­ pose of increasing student re­ sl:x:mslbility and represent the contract made between the student and PLU staff. Counselor, organizer, business manager and disciplinarian are but a few of the roles that the student employees of RLO carry out. It is a difficult job, but one that many students feel provides them with voluoble trolning.

A Concern for Students Following the death of Rev. Don Jerke In October, Rick Allen was appointed acting vice president of Student Ufe. Allen hod served as associate dean and director of Residential Life since 1 975. Before he came to PLU, Allen was assistant director of Residential Life at the Univer­ sity of Detroit. President William O. Rieke an­ nounced that Allen will serve In "acting capacity" as vlce­ president of Student Ufe through the end of the 1982 school year. After May of 1982, the formal process of vice-pres idential selection will be finished. Allen sees the most Important Issues facing the Student Life Of­ fice are those concerning PLU's growing enrollment. Student Ufe will be studying how to make mote efficient use of residence hall space and rooms In the University Center. The summer conference program which has been growing steadily over the past five years Is also handled by Student Life.

Continuing concerns include giving greater assistance to PLU's minority students, providing more career counseling and placement services, and main­ taining "effective, caring coun­ seling services." Faculty Involvement In Student Life programs is going to be stressed in the next few years. Allen believes that greater awareness and input on the part of the faculty would foster a feeling of "community" at PLU. As well as Overseeing Coun­ seling and Testing, Health Center. Minority Affairs, Foreign Students, the UC, and CPPO, Allen will serve as advisor to ASPLU. 1.

Tra nslation and Registration One of the most frustrating problems foclng the Minority Af· fairs Office Is getting minority

students to mark their ethnic backgrounds on their registration cards. Amadeo nom, Assistant Dean of Students and coor­ dinator of Minority Affairs, monitors student minority enrollment and keeps files on scholarships and grants for minority students. Without the In­ formation provided by the registration cards, 110m cannot Inform students of the financial

aid that exists. Besides providing financial guidance. the Minority Affairs Of­ fice also serves as an advisor to and minority programs organlzatlons such as Block Alliances Through Unity. BANTU was organized to promote cultural awareness and old the social adjustment of minority students by sponsoring social events, according to BANTU recording secretary Robbyn Menogan. This October, the Minority Af­ fairs office held a used book sale to help Increase the minority book fund. The books were donated by PLU students and staff. The Registrar's office handles not only the Identification of students' ethnic background, but also processes drop/adds, main­ tains transcripts. and provides for the forwarding of transcripts for those who wish to pursue their educational goals. The Installation of the new computer VAA system a few years ago helped speed up the registration process by giving the registrar access to Information at high

Keeping Eye and Hand on the PLU Environment

The 70 students who comprise the majority of the Campus Safety and Information staff carry out a variety of duties. The "escort" service is perhaps most widely known because it Is used by so many students. Yet. Cam­ pus Safety officers are olso securing for responsible buildings. running a lost and found, patrolling the campus, and answering crisis calls. The calls range from reports of a Peeping Tom outside of Har­ stad. to bomb threats at Hong. fire alarms in TIngelstad. to in­ vestigating reports of stolen PLU property. Kip Fillmore, Director of Campus Safety and Information. was directly responsible for the recovery of the Cave's video recorder. Following on In­ vestigation by Campus Safety. a PLU staff member was found to have stolen over 52,000 In audio­ visual equipment during the summer. After the equipment was recovered, second degree theft charges were flied with the Pier­ ce County prosecutor, and the staff member was discharged. While Campus Safety Is in charge of seeing that nobody damages PLU property, Main­ tenance Is in charge of repairing that property.

The Ga mes Room , a n Academic Anecdote "Xenon one, Xenon two," purrs the pinball machine as It ejects two metal balls Instead of the usual one. Labeled the "R-rated pinball machine" by students, Xenon oohs and aahs In a woman's voice at the player's skill. Xenon Is an example of the new breed of sophisticated pin颅 ball machines that talk, whistle and flirt while tallying the score In digital. But despite Xenon's seductive voice and light show, the pinball machine Is yielding to video gomes. The "video boom" has become the phenomenon of the decode. Operated by minicomputers, the games require Intense concen路 tration and good eye路hand coordination to win. They also require a 101 01 money. "The average game losts about three minutes and It costs 25 cents," sold one games room attendant. "At twenty games an hour, that's a lot of quarters we're making." Some students claim that once you figure out the "system" of a game, you can ploy for hours on Just one quarter. The only problem Is that it might take several hundred games before you crack the code. Since beating the machine does require such Intense con颅 centration, many students find that playing Phoenix or one of its cousins Is the perfect way to forget the demands of classes for awhile. There Is even a PLU professor who regularly visits the games room to spend a few quarters (maybe he's trying to forget his students).

Outdoor Ree provided tran­ sportation and arranged for room and board. The ASPLU has talked of putting an off-campus student lounge i n the lower half of the UC. Until they do, the coffeeshop will con­ tinue to serve as the unofficial meeting place of the off-campus students. The coffeeshop provides off­ campus students a place to eat lunch, chat with friends and reJax between classes. People meet there for pre-test cram sessions. One or two have even been known to set up typewriters and finish off term papers while eating coffeeshop fare. Whether It's eating corndogs or feeding quarters to Xenon, downstairs UC provides the student with many ways to lighten his wallet and forget the !'tress of PLU life. 1.

MEET THE REGENTS

Ex Officio Membell Bishop AG. Fjellman Bishop Clifford Lunde Dr. William O. Rieke

The governing body of PlU Is the Board of Regents. a thirty three member group, thirty of whom are elected by the North Pacific District of the ALe, and three voting ex officio members. The responsibilities of this essential group Include the following (as taken from PlU's Articles of Incor· poratlon and 8ylaws): to elect the president of the University, to ap­ point and dismiss members of the administration and faculty, to establish the academic program (Including development of curricula within departments,) to regulate the life of students i n ac­ cordance to University policy {also determined by the Boord of Regents}. to direct financial affairs of the University. and to authorize the granting of degrees. Through the function of these objectives. the Board plays on Integral role In university life. In accordance with PlU's Bylaws, the Board held three on-campus

Besides these meetings, the group also assem­ bled for an annual retreat and organizational meeting In Septer­ mber. This served as a re­ orientation type seminar, and as the time when officers are chosen. "The Regents are an Incredible group of people, who really care about the University," claims Roberta Marsh. the official recor­ der for the group. "They are a composite of Inteillgent. caring Individuals. and they offer PLU much financial backing and provide lots of PR." Elected members of the Board represent the AlC, the lCA. the AlumnI. or are Regents-at-large. Each representative serves a three-year term and can be re­ elected at the end of a term. On their own time, and usually with their own funds, each Regent at­ tends the scheduled meetings In

order to promote the better In­ terest of the University. During November and February meetings, the Regents met with In­ terested students for lunch In the UC. For the first lunch session, ASPLU and RHC matched students up with the Regents. and for the second session, the Regents went through the cafeterlo Indepen­ dently and spontaneously met with students. As Is tradition during the April luncheon. the Regents met with "Who's Who" students and members of the faculty who had been awarded the "Regency Advancement Award." These meetings provided a chance for familiarization bet­ ween vital gerups on campus; betwen the students, the faculty and the Regents. It Is through such I nteraction that growth takes place . . . lt Is the desire to strive for such growth that makes these people such an Important POrt of PLU. by Vickie Welch

Hong In Transition Hong was a dorm undergoing transition this year-a dorm In search of a character. "We used to be the music dorm," said a two­ year resident. "Now It's a lot more diversified; there are more athletes for one thing. It seems thaI holf the women's crew team lives on second." In the process of losing Its Image as the music dorm. Hong acquired the dubious distinction of being known as the dorm with rats. "'t was awful last year." said a former resident of 1 sl West. "We had to keep nets over the heaters to keep the rats out of the room. I feel a lot mora comfortable on second floor," Although the rats were destroyed during the spring of '8 1 , Hongltes felt the episode lett Hong with the Image of being a dirtY. dingy place to llve, /J.:j one 2nd

West resident put it. "I saw this place as the ghetto of PLU before I moved here this year. Now I like the dorm; It's a great place to live." To help change thot "dingy Image," Hong worked this year at refurbishing Its lounges. With the help of the lorgest Venture Capital grant of the year, Hong Its second-floor remodeled lounge, laying new carpet, pain­ ting the walls and fixing the TV. Hongltes see their dorm as being a close-knit unit. "I like the dances here the best. " said one resident. "They're small. people know each other and It's like being at a party with a lot o11rlends." One dance this winter ended by a bomb threat. At 1 :30 a.m. on Jon. 8. head resident Dave Gatewood received a threat on the phone. He called Campus Safety and proceeded to evacuate the building. While the Pierce County Sheriff and Fire departments conducted an hour-long searCh, Hongltes and other dancers took refuge I n Rainier's main lounge. The early morning Invasion of Hongites, in­ cluding Carol Gatewood's ham­ ster Bert, caused some confusion among Rainier residents, One gentleman, In a plaid bathrobe, kept wanderIng through the lounge saying, "Is there a party going on?" No evidence of a bomb was found by the searchers. It was later thought that the threat was phoned In by a group of off­ campus men that were thrown out of the dance earlier i n the evening. It was not known If the men were PLU students. For Hongites, the bomb threat was Just one more event that they shared.

"We constantly have events In our 1 st floor lounge because of Its size and closeness to the center of campus." These events Include Bible study meetings, music prac­ tices and Mayfest rehearsals.

Stuen Hall -- --

12A QQ�ldenCe Halls

The nome "Sluen Hall." when mentioned to the average PLU student. lends to conjure u p Images of Intellectual. bespec­ tacled accounting majors who stay sequestered In their rooms on Friday nights. hunched over calculators. It Is rumored that they ore typically In bed by 10,00 at night and choose 10 remoin oblivious to outside activities, preferring the mellow, moss­ growing atmosphere of their home turf. let us be the first to dispel thaI notion. True, we did toke a resounding lost place In Homecoming "spirit points" and we do seem to have an abnormal excess of aspiring CPA-types...but Sluen Is for from being inactive.

We were the ones who were found group mudsllding gleefully about campus after the first big rain this fall. We were the ones at the football games who made our presence known with a Burlington­ Northern air horn. "borrowed" from a freight train by an ex-Sluen resident "emeritus." legend has it that the train was moving at the time of the deed. but this has not been substantiated. Some people soy that we were the ones who at­ tempted to lower the flog to half most f0110wing Anwar Sadar's death (. . . perhaps a brief resurrec­ tion of the once powerful SLA?). Mature. sophisticated. bright young men and women living in Stuen? Maybe. Boring? Definitely not.


More Than Just Accounting Majors It is often wondered, "Who are these people? What are they like? Why don', we ever see them, eh?" Well. in answer 10 that. we are somewhat isolated on the north edge of campus, and a good deal of time is spenl ln the dorm or the library, figuring out marginal propensities to consume, ac­ c u m u l ated depreciation and other generally enterta i n i n g academic questions. like a number of other students, we are conscientious about doing well in school (Gee-and you thought we were in college to down cases of Miller and crank up the AC/DCI). However, when the sporadic moments of freedom come, we enjoy headin' out and having a good lime! To get activities roiling In Stuen for 1981 -82, we started the year immediately with freshman initiation. The unsuspecting youth had to earn points through par­ ticipation in a 5 a.m. campus fun­ run (accompanied by trusty air horns). Dogpatch Olympics, din­ ner for two (literally. . . couples were tied together for the meal), and also the first-year Stuenites were required to don suits and long dresses for the first day of class. (It would be fun to see everyone wear a three-piece suit to the first class section of PE 100!). On September 28, a gathering of Stuenites assembled to observe Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. The occasion, known as Ihe 8im Bom Festival. Is celebrated by candle-ca, rying participants at­ tired in curtains, chanting the Bim 80m chorus and foisting 81m Bom berries upon bewildered PlU students. La'e nlghlers in Harstad and the library were lucky enough to "experience" the assembly this year. Football season, fall and homework rolled onward; 'twas October and trial time i n Stuenl The Stuen Monks. a group

dedicated to celibacy at PLU (truly not a difficult feat), held a trial 10 excommunicate a wayward monk. The proceed ings were complete with defending and prosecuting attorneys, "honorable Judge," eye witnesses (oh really?) and a "slanted" Monk jury. The Jury found the defendant guilty and excommunication ensued. Shortly thereafter, the Monks heart­ Ily disbanded to enjoy worldly freedoms. A full lounge of 60 Stuenlles thoroughly enjoyed the madcap proceedings. Ha lIoween descended on us and. the dorm shredded all traces of sanity. The general bedlam oc­ curred because money (yes, cash) was to be awarded to the wing which was best decorated during an even ing of traveling treats. All three of the men's wings tied for first place. First North's theme centered around Vietnam; the results were eerily realistic. missiles thundering and corpses strewn about. Second South, the boisterous crowd of the dorm, designed a punk bar In their bathroom, resplendent with foil­ covered walls, cider on ice and 852's music. Third South opted for a horror house likeness and a great one at that; they had an assortment of ghouls and goblins. After devouring our way conlent­ edly through Thanksgiving and with the onset of Christmas, Sluen put on its secret pal revealing par­ ty in the Cave and gifts from home were delivered (parents had been notified. unbeknownst to the stUdents). Following a hearty lasagna dinner, we then proceeded td rip open the presen­ ts from "Santa" as soon as we got our grubby tittle hands on them. The party was judged as a great way to excite folks. "Wow, food from home-they do love me!" and to kick off finals week. Other enterprising activities the dorm enjoyed this year Include

several side·splittlng Ice cream feeds, movie nights, an Ocean Shores retreat, Christmas caroling, three really moving taco/burrito dinners and two world-class broomball matches. The latter proved to be immensely enter­ taining-where else could you see relatively sane people transform­ ed inlo great herds of broom­ flailing maniacs skittering pre­ cariously about an ice rink? True, after reviewing our campus location and the typical campus stereotype of Sluen, we are not a highly visible crowd and we have been known to do some rather bizarre things, but an invitation Is extended for you to come and find out who we are. Special thanks to the gentle­ man, H. Weinhard, whose pro­ found Influence upon us may never be known.

Foss: Exciting Living Foss Hall was on extremely ex· clhng place to live during the 1 981 ·82 school year. With Dorm President Sandy Besel leading the officers and Hall Director Matthew McTee as head of the hall stoff. no me could predict wh01 might happen! Our flfst fun·filled frolic turned out to be the freshman mitlotion (which. of course. none of the staff members knew about ahead of time) All freshmen. with perhaps the exception of one (whose boyfriend was vIsiting thot night), were told to dress from the Inside out and were forced out Into the cruel night air. when they were drenched by freeZing water and attacked with shavi ng cream [revenge will be sweet on next year's newcomers]. Foss held a very successful Tega Donce towards the end of Sap­ tel'T'lber Everyone wore their

favorite sheets and adorned their hair with any green foliage they could find. Music included the popular tunes from Animal House, and In keeping with the animal theme. men from 1st South ador­ ned their heads with acryliC buf· lalo antlers-nice try, guys One of the highlights of the dance was meeting new and interesting people. the evening proved to be important for the formation of many strong friendships One of the highlights of dead week, during faJ! semester, were animal half-hours. Fossltes found a unique way to spend their break from study. Each night at ap­ proximately 1 0:30, Foss residents would assemble on the front porch to partiCipate In the annual Fossl Pflueger yell-off, By a unanimous vote of the Fossltes, we were the wi nners Come on , Pfl ueger, where's your spirit? Animal half-hour wasn't the only thing going on during dead week Foss also held Its gala Christmas party one evening. Along with a sl ide show by Piper Peterson and Ed Herde. Fossltes enjoyed a new version of the Night Before Chnst­ mas, read by a red-faced Wally Bankson. SPS were also revealed. and Santo·s taverlle elf, Matt, was there In a bright red bunny suit to distribute the presents.

Interim students at Foss enjoyed an exchange dance with Ander· son-Langdon Hall of UPS. Kevin Harblne helped to coordinate thrs "first-ever-In-the-history-of-PLli event, and It was thoroughly en­ Joyed by everyone. The first spring ft..l1 Cflon helo by Foss was a Hawaiian Party With an all.campus dance following The party featured non-alcoholic daiquiris, Hawai ian-style ch ips. and girlS In scanty outfits and leis Most of the men wore rother loud printed shirtS, which accounts for the distance between most of the partners during the slow danCing Elections were held In March and were followed by a dorm movie. Next year's Foss officers wi l l be led by President Cameron Smock, and his worthy aSSistant, Vice-President Kirk Molyneux Foss 15 very proud ot Its athletic representatives. living In Foss are members of virtually every sport team, their inspiration helps the rest of us get out and stretch once in a while too Although attitudes of Foss vary from, 'Help-let me out!" to "Wow. wont to stay here for at least t8f'l more years, - the general consen sus agrees with one Foss freshmar who said, "Foss IS mondo-coo! whatever that means. 1

A Place Full of Surprises By Byron Knoll As I was driving back to PLU for the beginning of my second year In Pflueger.

Residents enjoy a beautiful view of both the glamorous city of Parkland. and, on the north side of the building, the PlU campus. The south view Is also highlighted by Mt. Rainier and the Cascades. On a clear day few spots on campus calf beat the Alpine sights. Alpine Is noted as one of the top dorms on campus. Residents enjoy the camaraderie among the tour wings and are able to meet people from the other seven floors during dally elevator cruises. A special treat that few other dorms can brag of takes place during the frequent tire d ril ls when "Alplners," and all of nngelstad, are rudely awakened from a rest­ ful slumber.

"I take very seriously the notion that the body Is a temple and a glff of God," sold Truelt. "Running helps me relax and relieve tension." he added. The PlU campus swarms with athletes. Many do not compete on a team sport but have developed Individual plans of exercise for themselves. Some students say they do not have the time to participate In Inter­ collegiate sports because of the academic workload at PLU. This does not stop them from working out on a regular basis, however.

Some students say that the tremendous appeal to keep In shape has been sparked par­ tially by the required physical education class, PE 100. "As many complaints as PE 100 gets It stili does serve as a catalyst tor getting In shape," said senior Dan Chodburn. Val Maxom said that PE 100 opened her eyes to a new way of looking at fitness. "The high school sports mentality, 'no pain-no gain.' well, It wasn't unlll PE 100 that I thought 01 lit·

"At Ilrst It surprised me to see how many goad athletes there are that aren't Involved In competitive sports," said Chad· burn. "The people that are con­ sistent and have been running for two or three years will be the ones that benefit most from their disciplined consistency:' he con­ tinued. "There are some people who run simply because It's 'the thing to do In college: but I think these people would give It up In a few months, maybe even In a few weeks,"

An Alternate Style Of Lute Livin g by Brion Laubach Amidst stacks of dirty dishes, homework, and dirty clothes stan­ ds the indef:)endent otf-campus person. The tendency to move off cam­ pus Is an ever-growlng prospect tor students In this time of in­ creasing prices and depressed economy. Moving off campus allows the opportunity to save money, eat better or Just escape the confines of the campus residence holls. ' There are not always parties. loud music and wild times at the humble abodes of the off-campus student. but. rather. meals to fix. books to read and tests to study for. All In all they are Just overage PLU Lutes. "It's hard to make friends when you live off campus, It's not the

best tor everyone. You have to go out 01 your way to make friends." said 1reshman Scott Rowe. "The camaraderie that I found with my wlngmotes Is absent living In a house with guys and married couples," sold Julie Coldwell. a Junior living off campus. But at the same time, "We aren't subject to the whims of perfect strangers living around us In the dorm. You pick the people you live with, people who are compatible with you and that keep the same hours that you do," sold Caldwell. ROwe added, "The only dlsad· vantage Is If you live with room­ mates you can't get along with." He added. ''There Is lots more privacy-your own hours and you kind of have your own family. It's real close." Rowe, Caldwell and Todd Schadln (a sophomore) all live

together with four other people In a large seven-bedroom house owned by a PLU student In the Parkland area. Caldwell said, "It's not exactly radical. but we have tun. We have friends over for small parties and carry on with our friends wherever we find ourselves meeting." Schedln said, "I am not one for a whole lot of social life, therefore mine Is minimal. But with the ad­ vantage of being able to have liquor In your home, your social life can be whatever you want It to be," There are drawbacks to off­ campus lite: "I kind of feel ex­ c l uded from on-campus ac­ tlvlties," said Rowe. "The only way you find out about dances are If you eat on campus." He feels there needs to be better com­ munication 01 on-campus ac­ tivities to off-campus students. There are also "massive advan­ tages" to living off-campus, said Schedln. "You save money. you have. a room to yourself, you don't have to eat the food served In the cafeteria and you don't have to worry about getting written up for silly' things such as passing out of windows. Another good advan­ tage [s you can sleep at night without people playing frisbees In the hall outside your room at 2 a.m.," sold Schedln. "Being fairly vegetarian. I didn't feel that I had many options on campus; cheese and yogurt are only palatable for so long I" remarked Caldwell, glv[ng one 01 her reasons tor moving off­ campus. "I was forced off," sold Rowe, who tell culprit to a PlU ad­ ministration error. He sold that he had applied tor early admission and had been accepted. Then his file was placed In a "locked file" that was not opened until July. Af­ ter It was opened, they didn't notify him until August 28 that he

New Begi n nings May 23 was a parflcularlly special day at PLU; 671 bachelor's and master's degrades were con足 ferred In Olson Auditorium. The Sunday afternoon was warm and sunny for the celebration and Olson was filled with more than 3000 friends and family of the graduates. Besides honoring the largest baccalaureate class ever. PlU's 1982 commencement exercises also recognized three PLU professors for their service to the university. Dr. Jens Knudsen (Biology) and Dr. Paul Relgstad (English) have been at PLU for 25 years, and Dr. Emmet Eklund, who retired after 1 B years were recognized by the community for the prominent roles they've played during the past quarter century. Each Is an example of the strength of PLU and Is credited with a sin足 cere devotion to their teaching. President Relke offered praise and encouragement to the graduates, along with other key speakers, Dr. David Wold, chair足 man 01 the Board of Regents, and Rev. Clifford Lunde, Bishop of the North Pacific Division 01 the ALC.
