For 13 years following his graduation from PL U he was associated with the University of Washington School of Medicine, both a s a s t u d e nt a n d a s a professor. He graduated with honors from the U . W. Medical School in 1958 and joined its faculty as an in­ s t ructor i n the Departme nt of A n a t o m y .

From 1966-71 Dr. Rieke served a s p r o f e s s o r and head of the Department of Anatom y at the U n iv e r s i t y of Iowa College of Medicine in Iowa City, Ia. During the 1969-70 school year he served as dean pro tern of that institu­ tion. Dr. Rieke has been among the

international elite in the area of transplant biology a nd has done s o me of the o r i g i n a l resea rch m a k i n g heart t r a n s p l a n t a t i o n possible.

PL U is owned and operated by Pacific Luth e r a n U n i v e r s i t y , Inc., a Was hington corporation whose purpose it is to maintain a C hr i s t i a n in stitution of hi gher l e a r n in g . M e m b e r s h i p of t h e corporation coincides with membership of the North Pacific D i s t r i c t of the American Lutheran Church and portions of the ALC ' s Rocky Mountain Dis­ trict. Accepting the PLU presidency, Rieke said, " P a c ific L u t h e r a n University, i n my v i e w , should be heavily church related. There are many excellent liberal arts uni­ versities which a re not church related. "The j ustifi cation for PL U' s existence, in my judgment, is to provide that extra dimension of r e l a t i n g C h r i s t to all of life past, present and future - and tq

" He also noted that he had con­ s idered the PLU p r e s ide n c y because PLU gave him a great deal in terms of a quality educa­ tion and a sense of direction for life, and that he believed he could help develop similar experiences for today's youth.

Dedicated Friends PLU Q Club Enj oys

Rapid Growth, Potential Dr. L.E. Skinner

The Pacific Lutheran Universi­ ty Q Club is giving hundreds of persons an opportunity to closely i d ent ify with P L U a c t i v i t i e s , program and goal s , according to David Berntsen, PLU director of development. Three persons whose experience with the Q Club spirit has brought them closer to the University are Dr. L. E . Skinner of Lacey and E rnest Harmon and Inez Weir of Tacoma. The three, who served the organization i n 1 974 a s president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer respec­ tively, have all agreed to serve in their offices for a second year in 1 975.

Like many Q Club members, none of the three had close ties w i t h P L U b e f o r e t h e y became a s soc iated with the Q Club, t hough all three lived nearby for many years . Dr. Skinner, now retired and living in Panorama City in Lacey, was a Lakewood physicia n . His a l u m n i t i e s w e re with Oberlin College a n d the University o f Chicago Medical School. In addit­ ion to his practice, he was deeply i n v o l v e d in t h e fo unding and operation of La kewood General Hospital. He has sponsored several med­ i c a l s t u d e n t s , i n c l u d i ng h i s adopted Malay s i a n s o n , now a physician, and the young man's sister, now a graduate of the PLU School of Nursing . His i n c r e a s i n g inv ol v e m e n t with the Q Club has been a n in­ spiration to other members. Not only has he actively helped re­ cruit new members, he frequent­ ly brings guests to PLU events and invites PL U s tudents and faculty to off-campus activities with wh ich he has been associated. T h e Q C l ub m a x i m , "A G a th e r i n g of Dedicated Friends," has particular mean-

i n g for v I ce-president E rnie Harmon. The s u cce s s f ul P a r k ­ land realtor w a s a post-war PLU g r a d (,49), but s i n c e h e w e n t through school at a record pace in less than three y e a r s and w a s older than h i s fellow students, he never felt a part of the typical a l u m n i s p i r i t , w h ich is often based on nos talgia. T h r o u g h the Q Club he h a s experienced a renewed loyalty to PLU and a close a ssocia tion with fellow members. I n e z W e i r is a l s o a c h a r t e r member of t h e Q C l u b , h a v i n g joined in 1972. S h e i s very active i n t h e U n i v e r s it y ' s c a u s e a l th o u g h n e i t h er s h e nor her children attended PLU. The mother of eight, she was widowed twelve yea r s ago a n d although a homemaker with no b u s ines s e x p e rience, s h e too k o v e r the busin e ss her husband had opened. Beginning with three e m p l o y e e s a n d t w o fa m i l y members i n one store, s he has since expanded the business to 30 employees in three stores, two in Tacoma and one in Bremerton.

The Q ( Q u a l i t y ) C l u b w a s founded in 1972. The first year it attracted 100 members and con­ tributed $51,000 to the University . In 1973 it grew to 200 members and gifts totalled $67 ,000. At the end of 1974 the organiza­ tion had more than 340 members and surpassed its goal of $100,000 in contributions . The final total was $142, 275. With rapidly i n ­ creasing momentum, the Q Club i s n o w l o o k i n g t o w a r d 5 00 members in 1975. T h e Q C l u b b e ga n u n d e r Berntse n ' s leadership to bolster unrestricted gi v i n g to t he U n i ­ v e rsity ' s annual opera ting budget. Since unrestricted giving

is prob ably the least appealing giving option available to donors but is vitally needed , the Club membership was intended to help build spirit, rapport and loyalty a mo n g constituen t s w i t h a n emphasis on non-a lumni. However, since club member­ ship is based upon a giving level (Q Club, $240 annually ; Q Club Fellows, $1 ,000 annually ) alumni giving at those levels were soon i n v i t e d to be a p a r t of t h e organization. Objectives of the Q Club are ( 1 ) t o create a greater understanding of t h e b a c k g r o u n d , present program and future plans o f the University; (2) to help increase financial support of the Universi­ ty ; and (4) to interest others and enlist them in support of the Uni­ versity . Dr. Skinner e x p l a i ned the Q C l u b ' s c o m m i t m e n t: "We're aware of the increasing need for funds on the part, not only of PLU but of all private institutions of higher learning. At PLU it costs a b out $450 more e a c h year t o educate a student than is paid i n tuitio n . This d i ffer e n c e m u s t come chiefly from gifts , and is essential to the maintenance of a Quality education effort at PLU. "Q Club members keep in close touch with the campus through personal visits, correspondence, university publications, informal club luncheons and the annual Q C l u b b a n q u e t ," he a d d e d . " M e m b ers a l s o r e c e i v e P L U athletic passes and in some cases ( Fellows ) , passes to other types of University events .

PLU Biologist Studie s Deep Water Fishes ; Discovers Ocean Current

Dr. Richard McGinnis

You won't find th em at the fish market. Nor will y u find them in cans on your local superma rket shelf, at least not yet . Deep water fishes are al most totally unfam iliar t persons out­ side the s cientific com munity, yet they are the m st abundant fishes in the sea. Only two of the many f a m i l i e s of deep water fishes, lanternfish (myc o ph idae) and lightfi sh ( gonotomatidae ) would most likely con tribute a out half the tally if all th fishes In th world's oceans could be counted. S u c h abu n d a n c e. a t f i r s t though , would indicate p o t e ntial salvation for IDlllions of protei n ­ starved people around the world. Dr. Richard M cGi n i s , a biology r fessor at Pacific L u theran U nive rsity who h as , pecia lized in the study of deep water fishes for more than a decade. admits that comm rClaI harvest IS feasibl e, ut he autions against exces si ve optim ism . "De e p w a te r f i s h s m a y u ltima te ly pla y a ro l e i n th e expanded com merc ial harvest of the c eans. " he in ieated, "but it is more Ii ely that they wi l l re­ main most i mportant as a link i n the food chain . "We harvest the m today v i a the tuna , sa lmon and other com­ mercial species , " he added. McGinnis went a step furthe r with his qualification. " Were we to find a way to harvest them effi c ie n t l y or p rofita b l y , t h e y would more likely be used for feed or ferti l izer ," he said. The initial harvest probl e m is depth. Most deep water species l i ve at "mesopelagic " depths of

And finally, they are so sm all , us ally one to 1 0 i n che s in lengt h, hundreds of t h o u s a nds, even m illion s , would be needed to make a profitable catch . "A million bristlemouths (2-3 inches i n length ) wouldn't keep a cat in food for more than a week," McGinnis re marked. But deep water fishes can be extremely fasci nating to both s c i ­ entists a nd l a vm ell fo r o ther re a s o n s . The I r m a n y aried pbysica characteristics are un like any other creatures on the face of the earth. The p h ysical adaptatIOns they have ma de 0 survive make c apti vat ing viewin g for ob r vers and a pien ttful source of data for scientists relating to b t h e vol u t i o n and the nature of the deep sea environment.

McGinnis believes, is the impact of increasing knowledge regard­ ing distribution of species which can tell science a great deal a bout the history of the ocean during the past 60 million years . Deep water fishes are planktonic, that is, at the mercy of ocean currents . Thus a com­ parison of their distribution today with the fossil record provides a vast a mount of historical data.

Learning Is For A Lifetime A Businessman Returns To School-30 Years Later By W. Kenneth Woolley

Much speculation has been de­ voted to the merits of what seems to be a growing tendency these days for the young man or woman to defer, upon graduation from high school, the pursuit of higher learning until there is a chance to "find oneself. " Is the time lost offset by the additional m aturity taken to the cloistered halls ? Or d o e s t he i n t e rru p t i o n o f t h e f o r m a l i z ed l e a r n i n g p ro c e s s cause deterioration of the learn­ ing skill and foster difficulties in getting back into the swing of schooling ? Too, what impact is presented by the creation of an age gap between the ret u r n i n g stu d e n t a n d h i s s t u d e n t con­ temporaries whose educational p r o c e s s e s h a v e not b e e n i n ­ terrupted ? Interesting questions. But con­ sider their magnitude when the span of time between periods of classroom participation extends to almost thirty years!

I will not p rete n d , nor I a m certain that the reader wo uld believe, that such questions were not paramount in my m ind when I made the decision to leave the world of business, practicing as a certified public a c c o u nt a n t , to pursue an entirely new, although related, profession a s a n educator in the accounting disci­ pline. I nitial and tentative discus­ sions with Gundar King, dean of the School of Business, and Prof. D w ight Zulauf, confi r m ed m y s u s p i c i o n t h a t t h e p ra c t i c a l experience gained a s a partner in a n international firm of C P A ' s would not meet all of the qual­ ifications required for the desired new pursuit ; the bachelor degree which I had obtained s o m e 30 years prior at the University of Colorado should be buttressed by a graduate degree. Not lacking in confidence as to my aptitude to learn new con­ cepts and new skills , since the

necessity to do so in order to re­ main competitive was required in the b u s i n e s s w o rld , I was ne�� rtheless concerned about m y ablhty t o compete successfully in the structured academic environ­ ment. Particularly, m any techni­ cal innovations had taken place over the years in the fields unre­ lated to public accounting which would comprise a goodly portion of the curricula necessary for the attainment of the advanced de­ gree. Further, a co nsiderable amount of in te rnal speculation was devoted to the effect of the c o n s i d e r a ble a g e differ ential which would exist, not only be­ tween m yself a nd fellow students but also my instructors . O d d l y e n o u g h , t h e m an in­ volved i n the b u s i n e s s w o rld t e nd s , I b e li e v e , to d e v elop through the years somewhat of a n impression that the academicia is a separate world where theories a re de veloped , expounded and closely theorized, but that such

theories are o nly that - they generally are impractical or too s o p h i s t i c a t e d fo r c o m p l e t e practical a pplication . You c a n believe that I had considerable c o n c e r n a s to w h e t h e r m y practicality-oriented mind could open up enough to accept a n d a s s i m ilate s o phisticated theories . I have told of my fears and re­ servations regarding e mbarking upon this sea of advanced learn­ ing ; however, I upped a nchor and sailed away - let me now tell what happened . First and foremost, I must say i n s u m ma r y t h a t I found t h e e xperience highly stimulating, thoroughly challengin g a n d de­ c i d e d l y e nj o y a bl e - f l o w i n g praise, I suppose, but adequately descriptive. Perhaps my reaction to the pro g r a m a ro s e bec a u s e each d a y provided new thoughts,

new idea s , new c h a l l e n ge s , as contrasted to the pattern of m y previous pursuit where a n y new t h o u g h t s , new i d e a s or n e w challenges were still, basically, variations on an old theme. The M B A pr o g r a m a t PLU covers many fields of business in addition to accounting, such as e co n o m ic s , f i n ance, m a n a ge­ ment, marketing, organizational environment, the use of quantita­ tive methods in making business decislOns, and others. In public accoun t i n g , I w a s continua l l y bumping into the fringes of these disciplines and was afforded the opportunity to observe the man­ ner in which their application was conducted . If any generalization could be made about my overall impression as to the merit of the MBA progra m, it would have to be this - extended consideration of application of the skills, con­ cepts and techniques taught in the program to the practical prob­ lems would be of im measurable benefit to much of American busi­ ness. At PLU I learned to u s e t h e w o r d s "m a x i m i z e" a n d " m i n i m i z e" fl u e n tl y a nd fre­ quently. In tradition, I must con­ clude that too much business and co mmerce is conducted in the U. S . wit h o u t m a xi m i z i n g a p ­ pl ication of skills which could be developed in t h e academic e n ­ v i r nment. T h i s e v a l u a t i o n of t h e o r y versus practical application a s I had observed it in the past did

p r o v i d e for m e , howev r , i n­ teresting s i t u a t ions d u rin g m y course of study. While par · cipa t ­ ing as a student, I was also serv­ ing part-time on the faculty as a lecturer teaching one accounting cou r s e each semester. In such capacity, I became more closely as sociated with my instructors than would be the case in the nor­ mal teacher-student relationship. As my instructors became aware of m y b a c k g r o u n d , I became aw a re of (o r at l e a s t m y i m­ agination picked up) a tendency on the part of some instructors, when expounding some new or controversial theo r y , to glance my way in such a manner that i n d i c a t e d a n t i c i p a t i o n of a "practical b u s iness world" re­ buttal . There were situations, un­ derstandably I believe , where I felt at least questioning, if not re­ buttal , was warranted ; however, I feel that any such question i ng as wa s proferred lead to further con­ structive examination of the sub­ ject matter. I do not believe that

New Ad It Program Coordinator Appointed

Mr . Woolley is an a ssista n t professor in t h e PLU S cho o l o f B u s i n e s s Admin istration.

Peggy Patterson o f Taco m a has been appointed coordinator of a new a d u l t college entry pro­ gram at Pacific Lut h e r a n Uni­ versity, according to Dr . Richard J u n g k u n t z , a c t in g P L U pres­ ident. The new program is designed to encourage the entry of adults, p r im a r i l y women, into college, J u n g k u nt z indica t e d . T h e pro­ gram is funded by a grant from the Hill Family Foundation of St. Paul, Minn. A 10-week seminar, designed to f a m i l iarize potential students w i t h the c a m p u s , a c a d e m i c experience and special services, will get the program underway beginning February 27, accord­ ing to Ms. Patterson. An orienta­ tion program was held Feb. 18. The adult college entry pro­ gram has been undertaken as the result of a survey taken in the Tacoma area earlier this year. "The survey showed that there is a large group of adult women in

the age gap between me and my instructors caused any problems except that their bright and agile younger m i nds m ade me keep mine in high gear. My as sociations wi th fellow students w ere tho r o u g h l y e n ­ joyable . The students i n PLU 's MBA progra m h ave varied b a c k g r ounds - engineers, bankers, brokers , accountants , entrepreneu rs, etc. - with vary­ ing degrees of experience. Too, m a n y of the graduate students are moving directly into graduate work without interruption from t h e un d e r g r a d u a t e p r o g r a m . Although I was the " old man," I believe, of the p rogram at the time, the senility didn't seem to show . Many team projects are in­ volved in the program and my association with other members of the teams I was assigned to was rewarding to me - I hope it was also to the other team members. Many new and good friendships were developed with fellow stu-

dents. I would hope they can be maintained . Throughout the program, I was i mpressed with the guidance and help offered by faculty members to t h e s t u d ents . H a v i n g com­ pleted my undergraduate work at a l a r ge state u n i versity where such personal contact was lack­ ing, the advantages of such close interrelationship between faculty and students was quite obvious. This past summer, two years after the commencement of the g r a d u a t e p r o g r a m for m e , I walked upon the stage to receive my MBA degree . My initial fears had proved unfounded as is usual­ ly the case with fears of the un­ k n o w n . R a t h e r , t h e fears had been converted t o a s e n s e o f exhil aration, not only a t having completed what had appeared to be a formidable assignm ent but, more i m p o r t a n t l y , at h a v i n g r eached the goa l expe riencing many warm and rewarding occurences along the way.

Seeking To Minimize The Discomfort 'Raising the cost of education is , psychologically, like a parent try­ ing to persuade a child that he ' ll enjoy taking a dose of castor oil' By Dr. Richard Jungkuntz Acting President, Pacific Lutheran University

Dr. Richard Jungkuntz

It's not our favorite conversa­ tion topic, but the problems con­ nected with the costs of education a re given constant attention at P a c ific Luthe r a n U n i v e r s i t y . B e c a use the i ndividual student (with or without pare nt's help) finally foots so much of the bill, we are keenly aware of our own r e s ponsibility to find the best ways and means of keeping the cost at the lowest possible level, while still maintaining the quality we all desire. The chief element in the prob­ lem is that a university is subject to the same economic pressures as a family or a business. In order to maintain the status quo - to say nothing of improving what we h a ve, l e t a l o n g initiating n e w p r o g r a m s o r c o ns tr u c t i o n of needed buildings - there is no alternative but to increase the charges for tuitio n , ro o m a n d board costs for the coming year. Raising the cost of education is, psychologically, like a parent try­ ing to persuade a child that he'll enjoy taking a dose of castor oil . Even if the parent can get the y o u n g s t e r to u n d e r s t a n d in­ tellectually that the short-term discomfort is necessary in order to remedy or prevent an e v e n w o r s e l o n g-te r m d i s c o m fort, there is still no way he's going to enjoy it. The best we can do is expl a i n why the disco mfort i s necessary . What's the situation ? The most obvious element to be considered is the fact th at the national con­ s u mer price index shows that the rate of inflation rose by over 12% in the past year. This means that it has been costing the University at east that much more for goods and services than it did a year ago. We would long since have gone into the red if it were not for the fact that over the l ast four to five years we have not been paying wages and salaries to match the rate of inflation. To be sure, there have been annual increases, but they have been short of the in­ flationary rate by an average of _

fa culty m e m bers a nd gene r a l employees have, in effect, been subsidizing the education of our students by a b out $120,000 per yea r. By virtue of sound budgetary managem ent, stringent economies of various sorts , such as deferral of major equipment p ur c h a s e s , h o l d i n g b a c k o n library acquisitio n s , cons traint o n i n c r e a s i n g f a c u l ty s i z e , cutback i n supportive personnel and careful control in plant and maintenance areas, we are able to hold our tuition costs to near the bottom of the scale in com­ pa rison with sister institutions. The following statistics for the current year give a compa rison picture of tuition and room and b o a r d a t a s a m p l i n g o f in­ stitutions of like size a n d with whom we are in primary competi­ tion for students.

We are com m itted to a con­ s i derable i n c rease in financial aid in order to offset as far as possible the cost burden on those least able to afford it.

F ro m a l l the information we have been able to gather as to p l a nned c o s t s at the above schools for the 1975-76 academic year, it is clear that there will be co m p a r a b l y s u b s t a n t i a l i n ­ creases in their charges. Hence, our 1975-76 rate will still leave us with our same relative standing, at the low end of the scale. At the present time, tuition covers 62.4% of the total Universi­ ty budget.

There is a real advantage . to " giving away" your home whtle you are still living if you p�an to eventually make such a gift. A bequest in your will can perhaps save some estate taxes . However, a gift of the home no� let? ybu have an income tax saVings In the year of the gift, and it is removed from your estate as far as estate taxes are concerned.

W h at is behind the India n occupation of buildings owned by church related groups, such as the Alexian Brothers' novitiate in W i s consin and the Gethsemane cemetery building near Federal Way, Wash.? The motivations are complex, rooted in part in the perso�al biases of Indian leaders and, hke m a n y w h i t e A m e ric a n s , m i s· conceptions about the wealth and power of the church. B u t p ro b a b l y t h e b e d r o c k reason for picking the church as a target is the �wak�ning ��ong Indians to their native reltglOns, coupled to a convicti0r:t that white missionaries have trIed to take away their culture. T h e s e i m p r e s s i o n s w e re related by Dr. P a u l B o e , t h e L utheran c l e r g y m a n w ho w a s arrested a year ago i n connection with the Wounded Knee occupa­ tion. D r .

"My feeling is we should have respected t h e i r r e l ig i o n , " h e a dded . "Then w e should have tried to share some of the concept of Christ with them, and let the . m develop their version of ChrIS­ tianity within the context of I�­ dian culture.

Dr. Boe also liked the respect for all creation embodied in In­ dian religion. "Christians fre ­ quently view man as lord of the w o r l d " he s a i d . "T h a t h a s affect�d our values deeply. We're reaping the harvest now - . t�e energy crisis, the ecology CrISIS, all kinds of things. " The Indian religion takes the opposite stance. Indian religion savs the earth is part of God's i mportant creation and th�t man has to live in harmony With the earth, that. his life cycl � has to be geared with the earth s rhythm - with the season, with t h e a nimals with the plants. " Thei� s is a relationship with the totality of life. They lack the concept of some t hi�g s b e i,ng spiritual and some things belllg secular and that the t w o don't a f fect e a c h o t h e r . T h e r e ' s a wholeness to it .

The success of Pacific Luthercm Uni­ versity throughout the past 85 years has been due not only to its capable faculty and administration but in a large part due to the unselfish time, interest, and effort given by c o u n t l e s s persons i n ­ terested i n preserving a Christian educa­ tional institution of the highest quality. During the early history of P . L . U . even the faculty and administration could be considered volunteers as they often went for months at a time with little or no pay. A l u m n i o v e r t h e y e a r s h ave volunteered their servic e s t o d o w h a t they could and what was necessary to make their alma mater not only survive but excel. In recent vears the Alumni have se\ecte a group of volunte.ers, the A l u m n i B o a r d , to run the Association with the aid of a full-time staff person. T h e y ha ve solicited the help of other alumni and together have brought the A l u m n i As sociation to a position of prominence and pride. Today the Alumni of PLU are playing an integral part in charting its course. The A l u m n i New Directions program with literally hu n d r e d s of volunteer workers is well on its way to becoming a reality . With nearly half of t h e h a l f million dollar goal already pledged or given the Alumni are finding themselves c a p able of f i l l i n g m a n y e d u c a ti o n a l needs that would otherwise g o unmet. The Task Force on Governance whose results will have a lasting affect on the future of P.L. U. is well represented with alumni input and participation. And the choice of Dr. William Rieke as the tenth president of P.L.U. was made with con­ siderable input from the Alumni. The two Alumni re presenta ti v e s on the P re s ­ idential Search Committee volunteered hundreds of hours of their time over a s ev e r a l - m o n t h period helping conduct what was probably the most thorough search in this country ever for a college president, to insure that we have the best possible leadership available.

One of the last publications by the late Kent Knutson is a book e n tit led The Shape of The Question. Here Dr. Knutson asks if the Church an survive in our secular society. I ' m sure it's appropriate to borrow from his t h e s i s a nd m o r e specifically a s k , c a n P L U survive as a Chr i s t i a n U i v e rs i ty i n t h i s environmen t ? I t ' s surely beyond the scope o f this author and article to attempt to speak completely to this entire question. It's well, however, that we frequently review the issues.

iekes Have Close Family PLU Ties Pacific Luthe r a n U n i v e r s i t y ' S n e w president-elect, D r . William O . Rieke, is the second PLU alumnus to be elected as chief executive officer of his alma mater. Dr. O.A. Tingelstad, PLC president from 1928-43, was a 1902 PLA graduate. Dr. Rieke's close family associations with PLU, the Lutheran Church and high­ er education, are, however, unique. H i s w i f e , J o a n n e , i s a 1 953 P L C graduate. H e r mother, M r s . Harold A. Schief, an Oregonian, served on the PLU Board of Regents from 1960-62. Dr. Rieke's oldest brother, the late Dr. Marcus Rieke, was president at Texas Lutheran College for three years before his death in 1962. Two brothers, Luverne and Robert, live in Seattle. Dr. Luverne Rieke is a p r ofe s s o r of l a w at the University of Washington , previously se rved i n A m e r i c a n L u t h e r a n C h u rc h d i s t r i c t offices i n Seattle , and is an honorary PLU alum ( ,59 ) .

parent, every t e ac her and administrator ever as soci ated with P L U ha .· tried to de[ermine J ust what it means to be <I Christian i stitut'on of hi her ed ucation. So me have deci ed Lha it's i mpossible. Others ha ve fou nd t hai the two conce pts are not mutuall, exc l usive. Paradoxical ye , but not exclusive. This affirmation has been most c l early stated by the Com­ m i s s i on o n Acade m i c E x c e l lence. In s h o r t , the c o m m i s s i o n r e a ffi r m e d a c e n t r a l t r u t h of the Reformation that God ' s grace is a free ing a g e n t t h a t permits man to search and inspect all of life. This should be what a liberal educa­ tional experience is all about . Assuming then that it :s possible fo r PLU to be both a University and Christ­ ian at the same time, the real question then becomes this. Can PLU survive ? On the basis of my own personal experience, I would ha ve to answer this question with a resounding, unequivocal, yes ! D r . M o rtved t frequently addressed himself to this question during his tenure as Presideut of PL U . As a student, I often heard him indicate his conviction that the s u r v i v a l of P L U was a x iomatic. The shape of the real question was rather, could PLU survive as a Christian institu­ tion. I think it i s precisely at this point that our voice must be clearly heard. Our Alumni Board and Association has no desire whatsoever, to usurp any of the functions o r a u t hority of e i t h e r t h e

Absolutely yes ! The early r e s p o n s e to o u r N e w D i r e c t i o n s c a m p a i g n is over-whelmingly positive and generous. New DireCI"lOnS will allow us to be "heard" i n a concrete way. We will be able to assist many students with scholarships. We will be able to continue support of the library. ( M any of you have demonstrated your interest in this field for a number of years. ) We will be in­ volved with a variety of lectureships and special projects benefiting the faculty, student body, and the Alumni. We will be a part of PLU's first endowed chair, the Philip E . Hauge Endowed Professorship. You are a part of all this. The com­ m i t m e n t t h a t you d e m o n s tr a t e , the resources that you share, are vital if PLU is to continue to grow in excellence and true to the principles of Christian higher education.

Children ' s Theatre Starts 20th year Several t h o u s a n d l oc al c h i l d r e n w i l l v i s i t P a c i fi c Lutheran Univer ity during he next two weeks to see a play. Not an ordinary play, but one p ro d u c e d e peclally for youngsters by the PLU Children's Theatre. The ti Ie of the play is "Winnie the Pooh. " The production begins the 20th year of semi-annual Children's Theatre productions at PLU. The concept was locally originate d and is still directed by Prof. Eric NordhoIm, associate professor of c mm unication arts. He began the series with " King Midas and His Golden Touch" in the spring of 1956, shortly after his arrival at PLU.

Now a t r a d i t io n with a r e a youngs ters , C hildren 's Theatre ha enjoyed spec acular success. The first performan e drew 300. The following year 1 ,800 children were on hand and the number has increased ste adily since. The r e a s on , Nordholm b e l i e ve s , i s t h a t C h i l d r e n ' s Theatre provides a service to the community . "It's i mportant t o keep these children 's stories in the repertoi r e of g r O W l n g up p e r i o d s , " he s a i d . " T he y ' re classics. They have every thing ­ a story. drama, tragedy and com­ edy . . And , he i ndic ated , they have a moral . Each youngster identifies wit h a character in the play that has some relationship 0 his own liv­ ing experience, Nordholm added . The seriousness with which the yo u n g s ters accept t he stories places a heavy responsibility on the d irector and the cast. 1t builds restrictions . For instance, a play sh ouldn't show that blowing fairy dust on a person can make him fl y , " No r d h o l m e x p l a i n e d . " Kids might try i t - and they ould get hurt. " N or d h o l m i n s i s t s o n h i g h standards of quality, which has in turn brought continued and grow­ ing support from the school dis­ tricts. They know what to expect from Children's Theatre, unlike unfamiliar touring produc t ions , w hich were the only children's drama available locally before 1956 .

There are other advantage s . Holding the production at PLU gives t h e y o u n g s t e r s a n e w en vironment away from their familiar classrooms. E mphasis on audience deportment is also a learning experience. Nordholm gives a great deal of credit to the teachers for using the experience as a broad learn-

•

ing tool. He has often observed the behavior and etiquette of the children who have been coached well before coming to the theater. " And our lost and found department has dropped from 100 per cent to about one per cent over the years," he commented . The teach e r s h e l p i n o t h e r w a y s . M an y of t h e m have children draw pictures illustrat­ ing their impressions of the play. The a rtwork h a s h e l p e d Nordholm and hi casts maintain artistic standards and determine w he the r the pla y 's message is getting across. In some cases changes have b e e n m a d e b e t w e e n pe rformances b ecause of what the artwork reflected. Not all children com e in school groups ; man y orne with paren�s to p u b l i c pe rformances . Thls spring the public performances will be held Saturday, March 1 , at 1 a . m. and 2 : 30 p . m . ; Friday, March 7, at 8 p . m . and Saturday, March 8, at 2 : 30 p . m . in Eastvold Auditorium . "It gives the family a place to go together," the director said. "Adults enjoy the performances too. Maybe a reliving of childhood experiences is good for all of us. N o rdhol m ' s involvement in Children's Theatre began a s a student at the Goodman Theater in Chicago, a pa t of Lhe Chicago Art Institute, jn 1950. His earl y interests had been acting, direct­ i n g and adult theater. At Goodman he became interested in Children's Theatre while work­ ing with Charlotte Clor enning , one of the pioneers of the mediu m in this country and at that time considered the dean of Children 's T hea t r e i n t h e U . S . M a n y Clorpenn ing stage adapta ions of ch ildren 's classics are still used a t P L U a n d ot h e r c hil d ren ' s theatre groups a ro u n d t h e country. Nordholm was also steered into the study of design and produ tion by the Goodman faculty. He i s r e s p o n s i b l e f o r m o s t set designs used by the various PLU drama groups and his standards of excellence in this area have long been recognized. Before coming to PL U he work­ e d w i t h C h i l d re n ' s T he a t re productions in Pitts burgh P a . , and Michigan City, Ind., where he believes he developed a feel for c o m m u n i t y a t t i t u d e s t o w ard Children's Theatre. Nordholm's productions have now been offered to a full genera­ t i o n of T a c o m a-area s c h oo l childre n. Many o f Nord holm ' s for m e r c a s t m e m b ers have returned t o recent productions as teac hers and parents of s mall children. And after 20 years , it is l ikely that t here will be some parents in the audience this week who were among the youngsters a tt e n d i n g t h o s e f i r s t P L U Children' S Theatre productions in the late '50's .

Hicks Top PLU Scorer In A Decade B y Jim Kittilsby

Merriam-Webster may be p r e s sured into a re - w r i te i f it persists in referring to hicks as " aw k w a rd provincial people . " The leverage will be applied by PLU hoop observers who find no­ thing p ro v i n c i a l o r a w k w a r d about Hicks - first name Tony. PLU 's Northwest Confe re nce s c o r i n g k i n g , of m e tropolitan beginning and upbringing i n Los A n g e l e s , i s s a rt o r i a l l y r e ­ splendent m dress and i s a far-cry from a bumpkin. The 6'-4 senior guard i s also the a n tit h e s i s of a w kwardness, as any opposing guard , once burned , would attest. Balance a nd q u icknes s , in a delicate blend, transformed the fo r m e r p r e p c e n t e r i n t o t h e s c o u r g e o f s m a l l e r b a c kcourt defenders. "Tony was definitely one of the top all-around small college players i n the No r thwes t, " says coach Gene Lundgaard , who has seen some g o o d o n e s c o m e and go in 1 6 succes sful years at PLU. Hicks became the most prolific Lute scorer in ten years this past season, scorching the interior of the nets for 562 points, a 22.4 av­ erage , with one game rem aining. In 1973-74, his first season at PLU, Tony was the sixth leading score r in the Nort h w e s t C o n ­ ference with a 1 5 . 6 average. The Lute team captain was accorded first team a ll-conference, first te a m N A I A D i s trict 1 , second t e a m Little All-Northwest, sec­ ond team All-Lutheran, and hon­ o r a b l e m e n t i o n N A I A A l l­ America honors. H e ' s a ci nch to achieve bigger honors when the post-season accolades unroll this year. While E MAL s i g n s - E v e r y M a n A Lute - are festooned on the PLU locker room walls, Hicks had Cardinal embroidery in mind a ft e r b e i n g a p p r o a c h e d b y S t a n fo r d c o a c h e s d u r i n g h i s senior y e a r at Lutheran H i g h School i n Los Angeles. Twice an All-Olympic League selection as a center, Tony, by his own admission, just went through t h e m o tions academically his final year and let a o n c e respectable grade point average slip below the Stanford standard s . J unior college seemed for Tony the route to go . Older brother Bill, now 23 and a 440 specialist on the University of Washington track squad, was then doing his laps for Spo k a n e F a lls Community Col­ lege. After b i g brother c a l l e d ,

To ny was Inland Empire bound to play under Jim Jarvis, now the h e a d c o a c h at U n i v e r s i t y of Idaho. The 2 1 -year -old social welfare major, who is plann i n g o n graduate school before embark­ ing on a career i n urban planning, hit on 56 .3 per cent of his shots as a Spokane F a l l s s o p h o m o r e , a v ­ e ra g i n g 1 6 . 4 p o i n t s per g a m e . T o n y was t w i c e an all-l e a g u e selection a t SFCC and i n his final sea son led the Spartans to the runnerup spot at the state j unior college tournament. It was there that PLU ' s Gene Lundgaard entered the picture. L u n d g a a rd met Tony a nd h i s parents a t the tourney and knew he had a plum when Hicks gave PLU the nod . " H a v i n g p l a y e d i nside, as a center in high school , forward at Spokane Falls, now a backcourt perfo r m e r , Tony h a s a l l the moves , " states Lundgard . " I think one of Tony's greatest assets is his penetrating ability. He developed as an outside shoot­ er, but with his quickness could usually outrun the defender o r o v e rwhelm the s m a l l er player with his size . " "Hicks put a lot of defenders away after his first step because of his acceleration . " " With Tony and his very gifted teammate Jeff Byrd in the lineup, we had one of the most explosive one-two scoring threats that I ' ve seen in this league in years . " A well-knit 185-pound frame gives Tony the strength to hang mid-air for an inordinate length of time. Some observers mused that the left-hander should have been investigated by the FAA for flying indoors . Hicks' advanced design suspension system resulted in some wrap-around un­ orthodox shots that defy descrip­ tion. While the Lutes could not retain their NWC hoop title, PLU fans got their kicks from Tony Hicks.

Isit Soviet Union 'I didn 't realize before how much we take for granted '

Moscow' s Kremlin , left, and St, B a s il ' s Cathedral

Helsinki , Finland , w a s a t o u c h s t o n e f O l' a g r o u p f American college students on a tour of the So viet Union this past January. , T h e gro u p , w h i c h i n c l ud e d elght Pacific L utheran Universi­ ty Inte ri m students, stopped in Helsinki on both their way in and their way out of Russia. It was as though they had visited two com­ pletely different cities. " O n t h e w a y i n , H el s inki seemed like a dum p , " Dr. G undar King , dean of the PLU School of B usiness Administrat i o n , recalled. " Stores were not well stocked. Service was poor. Light­ i n g seemed d i m . People w er e scowling. " W e w e re j u d g i n g b y American standards, " he added. L e a vi n g the Soviet U n ion , Helsinki seemed like a different place. " Coming back, it was a gay metropolitan city , " King, one of the tour leaders, continued. " Peo­ ple were s m i l i n g , Service w a s excellent. E ven the sun seemed to shine brighter. " The group was j udging by Soviet standards. D r . K i n g a n d students w ere asked what there was about the tour that had the most meaning for t h e m . W h a t i n c i d e n t s o r e xperi e n c e s had affected their attitudes about the Soviet Union ? "Our reaction to Helsinki real­ ly puts it in perspective," Diane Johnson , a Mount Vernon sophomore, a greed. " O u r t o u r r e a l l y m a d e me

" T h e y h a v e n o c o m m e r ci a l adverti si n g , s o w h e n ' n e w prod ct comes out they line up for blocks to see it. Yet even those n e w i tems look like 20-year-old items here . " The g e n eral s c arcity of desirable goods causes a near rio t when there is something new or som ething becomes avai lable . S h e r e c a l l e d h a vi n g to fight, squeeze and elbow her way into a book store simply because one new title had come out a n d everyone wanted it. Throughout the Soviet U n i o n stores are full o f goods that are not sellin g . The goo d s a r e "utilitarian " and the people want to b e " fashionabl e , " Ki n g i n ­ dicated. " A nything not m a d e in t h e Soviet Union is fashionable , " he added. " The people are hungry for imported merchandise that is different from sta ndard good s . Qual ity and assortm e n t , n o t price, i s the major factor, though prices are high . " People w i l l save fo r m o n t h s a n d years t o buy luxury items, according to King. While salaries are low by our standards, costs of housing and staple food are also l o w , s o t h e r e i s s o m e d i s­ cretionary income. Another major impression was the disciplined way the people behaved. The students were un­ certain whether to describe it as d i sc i p l i n e , struc ture , h a b i t or patriotism. B u t it s e e m e d t h a t wherever they w e n t , usually a t c e m e teries or historic a l s i t e s , Lenin 's Tomb in particular, long lines of people waited patiently and quietly to pay their respects . E ven the c o m m o n w e d d i n g ceremony i n M i n s k inc luded a visit by the bride and groom to the " E t e r n a l F l a m e , " where the dead were honored with flowers. " It s e e m e d like we were al­ ways going to cemeteries or buri­ al sites or museums of war and revolution , " Miss Johnson said. " Th e y s e e m very preoccupied with w a r . I t a l s o s e e m s l i k e they're continually trying to say, ' See what the Nazis did to us.

On the pos i t ive side, King i n d i c ated , t h e So viet U n ion h a s m ade ubstantial progress in its standard of living, j u s t in the past five years. This is borne out by statis tics, but it i s also appare nt by observing what the people on the street are wearing , he said. King was also impressed with the mass transit system in Soviet cities, which he believe s i s not matched anywhere in the Wes t . " U ' s effective and efficient, " he said . The group also w a s a b l e t o meet with government officials, a rt i s t s , m a n agers and churc h leaders.

" She discovered her newly ac­ quired conversational habit when she got home and found herself still " guarde d " a mong family and friends. It was a relief for her to consciously drop her guard . Several of the students asked indicated that they would like to go back - " in the summer ! " But it was also apparent that, for at l e a s t 3 3 y o u n g A me r i c a n s , it would be awhile before they again took their homeland for granted . ­

A haitus to enjoy a country and its history

Our Only imate e By Dr. Wi ll i am P . Giddings Solar house

A means to generate electricity with solar heat.

'A national commitment to the use of abundant, renewable solar energy seems to be the logi cal way to meet increased needs '

Solar energy is earth's only im­ port ; rej ected heat is our only export off the planet. The t w o m u s t b a l a n c e i f the a v erage temperature on the earth is to. stay the same. Man 's activities can shift the balance one way or the other. The burning of coal, oil and gas adds c a r bo n d i oxide , w h i c h h e l p s retain more heat. A rise o f a few degrees in average temperature could melt polar ice caps and drown coastal cities. In fact, earth ' s temperature seems to be dropping a fraction of a degree during recent decades . O n e reason m a y b e increased s moke and du s t , n a t u r a l a n d m a n m a d e . T h i s c a u ses m ore sunlight to be reflected back into space before the earth is warmed. Worse weather and disastrous droughts may be part of a natural c ycle which c o u l d great l y exacerbate the world food crisis. Not only might man endanger h i m s e l f by abusing n ature in w a y s t h a t l i m i t t h E:: s u n ' s effectiveness, he ha also failed to take advaDtag of this limitless and essenti all y free resource -Solar energy powers the winds, \ ruch could be a major sour e for electrical POw r g e n e ra uon in r e g i ns l i k e the O regon a n d Washington coasts r in the C 1 u rn b i a go r g e . T b sun ' s heat e aporates wa er fr m the oceans to renew the rivers which give us hydroe l e c t ri pow e r . G reen plants convert sunshine into food, material and fuel, and were the original source of our fossil fuels ( coal, oil and gas ) . Solar energy is our only ultimate renewable resource.

All energy that i used by man ends up as heat. Cities and in­ d u stries alte r natural weather patterns by shifting heat a n d h u midity balances. Water used for cooli n g bec o m e s h e a t e d e n o u g h t o s h i ft e c o l o g i c a l balances in streams and along shorelines . Direct utilization of solar energy is the ideal way to o b tain useful energy with the least possible effect on local heat balances. Of all applicatio ns o f s o l a r energy , heating and cooling of b u i ld i n g s s e e m s n e a r e s t t o potential large scale application. Flame te m p e r a t u r e s are n o t needed to warm air o r water a few tens of degrees. Large power or fuel distribution systems are not r e q u ired to p u t to w o r k t h e sunshine that already falls on the buildings and grounds. P a s s i ve solar buildings are d e s i g n e d to u s e t h e s u n t o minimize need for artifical heat­ ing, cooling and lighti n g . Wind ws may be omitted on the north wall, sm al l windows are used on the eas and west, and large ones are used on the south . The roof overhang over the south wi n d ow is c a lc ulated to g i v e tot I s h a d ! g o n the window su rface in the s ummer hen h e sun IS high in the day , but lets i n t h e direct 'unlight i n the ", i nter. Natural d ra ft cooling and large m a sses of rna onry hel equal ize day a d night tern erat u re · . Active solar houses have col­ l e c t o r s , u s u a l l y fl a t pl a t e absorbers on the roof or on the ground. These face south and are tilted at an a ngle equal to the latitude plus 1 0 degrees. Air or water is circulated through the collector and is heated as high as 200 degre es. The heat is t h e n stored in large amounts of water, stones or earth. Either forced air or circulating hot water systems are used to warm the interior. T he heat energy collected can ( Continued o n Page 7 )

also be used to power air condi­ tioning units . Cost effectiveness favors extra thick insulation, tight construc­ tion and auxiliary heaters and coolers to provide 10-30 per cent of the load. The Puget Sound region is as poor as any in the lower 48 states in solar energy received, b u t even cloudy days provide si gnificant amounts. A succes sful solar house has been built in Coos Bay, Ore. Seattle City Light is planning a demonstration house to provide accurate cost data. A study of the Seattle-Tacoma area indicated that a doubling of the 1972 price of heating oil and gas could make solar heating costs competitive, depending on what cost is assumed for solar col­ lectors and interest rates. Solar houses are most attractive for people who can do much of the work themselves. (The Ecotope group, Box 5599, University Sta­ tion, Seattle, Wash. 98105, does consulting work in this area. ) To make a large scale impact on energy supply, solar energy needs to be used for generating electric power.

The proposed facili­ t y wou l d collect heat from the sun to generate e lectricity.

would be d irect conversion of sunlight to electricity with photo­ voltaic cells. These are now used for small amounts of electricity in remote place s , s u c h a s on satellites, navigational buoys and radio relay stations. The cost of the electricity produced is still about 500 times than from coal or n u c l e a r p l a n t s , b u t a recent proce s s d e v e l o p e d by T y c o Laboratories may bring the cost down tow a r d bec o m i n g c o m ­ petitive. The most promising syste m for solar power generation i n the near future seems to be the solar farm . This is an array of col­ lectors concentrating the sun ' s rays to give heat to drive conven­ tional steam turbines. The land area required would be less than that which would be strip mined to produce the same amount of electricity in a coal-fi red plant over its 35-year life span. The solar collectors would not d e stroy the land su rface , only shade it. The waste heat from the power plant would equal the heat now reflected fro m the de sert l an d s u rfa ce. The solar plant produces no air pollutants, while the coal plants are major sources of the fine particles and oxides of sulfur found to be the most seri­ ous combination for respiratory disease. The estim ated cost of sol a r power ' s again tentative, because no collectors are yet in large scale production. However, recent cost increases for nuclear plants may make nuclear power as expensive as solar power would be. The solar fa rm requires no scarce uranium, which may have to be imported soon ; nor would it in­ volve transporting and stori ng d a n g e r o u s l y r a d i o a ctive materials. The basic science and technolo­ gy for solar generating plants is already known. What is needed next is funding for a demonstra­ tion plant so that costs can be assessed accurately. The deserts of e a s tern Washington get as much yearly s u n s h i n e as t h e deserts of Arizona, and the trans­ mission lines across the Cascade Mountains are already in use. Proposed federal funding for all types of solar energy research and development is $200 million for the next five years, compared to $4 billion for conventional nu­ c l e � r f i s i o n a n b r e e e l' reactors . A national commit ment to the use of a bu ndant , renewa ble solar energy seems to be the logical w a y to m e et increased oeeu s without irreparable damage.

" I did not f noth r ' acting' v r appointment. " Instead he took the matter to the deans : directors and division­ al c h a i r m e n . "They agreed to take some of the detail work off my shoulders , " he said . . In addition , Dr. J. A.

I was working out of both offices . " On occasion , the dual responsibility had its awkward, if manageable, moments. "For instance, on the subject of rank and tenure, as pro vost I sit as an advisory mem ber of t h e com mittee, Cl nd am a cq u a i n t e d w i t h b e iscussi n , pros a n cons and c a n d i d ie .

Fun s Currie lum pe -ment a Dr. Curtis Huber Developm e n t o f a t r u l y i n ­ terdisciplinary course structure in the humanities be g i n s t h i s summer at Pacific Lutheran Uni­ versity under the auspices of a $30 ,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The project, the first of its kind in Washington state and still most uncommon across the nation, in­ volves a comprehensive program of faculty development, followed by a series of experimental mini­ courses. The latter will lead to full-semester interd isciplinary c o u r s e s at P L U nex t y e a r , according to Dr. Curtis Huber, project director and chairman of the PLU hu manities division. " It ' s very daring," Dr. Huber observe d , " be c a u s e t h e professors involved have to over­ come huge barriers in their own prev ious training to make the effort successful . " H e cited as project example a possible mini-course as it was outlined in the grant proposal. It is called "Pacifism : Its Roots and J ustifica tion . " Looking at the title, one might wonder w h a t traditional academic discipline would offer the course. " This proposed course has four parts , " H u b e r e x p l a i ned , "pacifism as an expression of religious conviction, as a political m o v e m e n t , as r e l a t e d to the results of history and as related to the rights of others. It would be taught, in this case, by professors from religion and philosophy. " Why not also political science and history ? "You could include them, but tha t ' s the point , " Huber answered. "That's where we usu-

ally get trapped when we speak of interdisciplinary subject matter. , ' Y o u ' re t r a p p e d when you t h i n k of a d d i n g d i s c i p l i n e s , s p e c i a l i s t s and experts. You would have four professors tak­ ing turns answering questions or lecturing on the material pertain­ ing to their specialty ," he said. "You probably wouldn't get an inte grated pattern of thought," Huber c o n t in u e d . " You a l s o wouldn't get the student to think synthetically. The problems he studies would be seen as bits and pieces rather than as a single liv­ ing issue with many connected facets . " He added, " That traps most professors, too. But the concern should not only be for specialized analytic detail, but with helping the student to see human prob­ l e m s as w h o l e s w h e r e m a n y areas of learning and understand­ ing must cooperate to p roduce solutions. "That 's why , under this proposal, we must begin with fa­ culty devel o p m e n t . The professors participating in the proj e c t w i l l be learning to organize, teach and evaluate a wide variety of issues in an in­ tegrated, coherent way . That is what an interdisciplinary course should be all about, " Huber ex­ plained. The project, as funded by NEH, begins with two faculty work­ shops this sum mer. Under the guidance of national consultants, participants will explore the con­ struction and t e a c h i n g of i n ­ t e r d i s c i p l i nary curricula and evaluate their own teaching. Each of the professors involved will develop and teach a one-week experimental interdisciplinary mini-course. There will be n o c h arge t o students taking the

course, but they will be eligible for one semester hour of elective credit. " T h e m in i - c o u r s e s provide o p p ort u n i t y f o r e x p e r i m e n t before full semester courses are attempted, and an opportunity for student-faculty reaction and assessment," Huber explained . The next stage of the proj ect involves the teaching of trial, all­ s e me ster interd i s c i p l i n a r y courses offered for ful l credit. They will be evaluated by teach­ ing faculty and students using in­ s t r u m e n t s developed for that purpose. The final stage of the " planning year" consists of a final evalua-· tion and the development of five to ten additional full semester in­ terdisciplinary courses during the summer of 1976. " T h e r a n g e of co mplete courses could, by that time, con­ st itute an optional basic humanities curriculum alternative to our present general university requirements ," Huber indicated. The proj ect should effectively retrain over 18 per cent of the entire u nivers i t y f a c u l t y a n d m o s t o f t h o s e who ordinarily teach humanities c o u r s e s , a ccording to Huber, and would

also place greater em phasis on cooperation rather than competi­ tion among departments. " I n a d d i t i o n , the d i rect in­ volvement of some 100 students in the mini-course experiment and several hundred more in the full semester courses will encourage the most intense cooperation and participation by stud ents ever attempted at PLU in the de velopment of a curriculum , " Huber added. " I t will hei ghte n the students' sense of participa­ tion in i nstitutional development. " The N E H grant funding t h e p roj ect is a " p lanning" grant, usually given as a preparatory s te p in helping innovative in­ s t i t u t io n s p r e p a r e p r o g r a m w h i c h could qualify for up to $250 , 0 0 0 i n g r a n t a s s i st a n c e , Huber indicated. Purpose of NEH funding is to improve humanities curricula and teaching at col­ leges and universities across the country.

Invitations for appearances by the group have been received so far from churches in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and Alaska even though t o u r p l a n s are still i n their formative stages, according to Carol Hidy S u e s s , spokesperson for the group. This w i l l be t h e t h i r d c o n ­ secutive summer that Carol and her husband, Dean, have spent on t o u r . As seniors a t P L U t h e y obtained the sponsorship of the university Alumni Association to u ndertake a tour, a n d t h e i r itinerary has grown each year. Mark Knutson, a PLU j unior from Chugiak, Alaska, joins the group for the first time this year. Response to the group ' s music has been enthusiastic wherever they have appeared.

A father i n Oregon said of their concert, " Our w hole family, from our six-year-old daughter to her grandmother, were entranced by their musical artistry and j oy . " A California woman observed, " I n s i g h t and c o m p a s s i o n u n ­ derscore their poise and talent. Without lowering their standards of musical excellence they went out of their way to include a song with. gestures in s ign for a small deaf mute boy in our congrega­ tion.

PLU Summer S chool Gives Quality Ed . O pportuni ties By Dr. Richard Moe Dean, Graduate and Summer Studies

" There is no better tim e " is the theme of 1975 Summer Sessions at Pacific Lutheran University, cal­ ling attention to the fact that for many people, summer is the best time of the year to either begin or continue a college education. During the summer the year ' s h e c t i c p a c e s l o w s d o w n . More time allows more options. A near­ ly 60 per cent increase in PLU Summer Sessions enrollment in the past five years bears out the fact that both the time and the program are attractive to many people. R a ted the s t rongest summer program among private colleges in the northwest, PLU Summer Sessions attracted 2,366 students last year, up from 1 ,542 in 1969. During the s u m m e r , c l a s s e s are informa l , more flexible, less structured . This year more than 200 c o u r s e s , workshops and seminars are offered i n 20 subject a r e a s . S o m e l a s t a few d a y s , others a few weeks ; all are com­ pleted in a month or less . The curriculum is o f the high quality offered during the regular school year. In addition to a broad selec tion of traditional courses, there is a variety of innovative, experimental offerings covering c o n t e m po r a ry i s s u e s a n d p e r s p e c t i v e s i n m a n y fiel d s .

A Gift That Returns An Income E d Larson Director, Deferred Giving By

Over the years, one of the most traditional ways to make a gift while retaining some income for life is to establish a Charitable G ift A n nuity. As the name im­ plie s , the donor makes a gift to PLU but also receives a guaranteed income for life . The amount of that lifetime annuity is based on the a ge of the d o n o r when the gift i s made. Here is how a typic a l Charitable Gift Annuity works : M r s . A . , a g e 75 , s e t s u p a C h a ri t a b l e Gift A n n u ity in the amount of $10,000. She receives a federal income tax deduction of $3,857 in the year she makes her gift ( she would have up to five years to ca rry-over a n y " ex c e s s " ) . E ach year she will receive $740 return on her origin­ al gift, and of that amount, only $224 will be taxable. There are a number of benefits of establi shing a gift annuity : 1 . You have the satisfaction of knowing that your gift is helping to further the efforts of Christian higher education. 2. You are guaranteed payment for life . Here is a regular income you cannot outlive . 3. Your payment will never be reduced. The amount you receive each year is unchangeable. 4 . Y o u a r e r e l i e v e d of t h e worries o f m a n a g e m e n t i n a fluctuating economy. 5. You rec eive a s u bs t a n t i a l c h a r i t a b l e d e d u c tion on y o u r federal income tax in the year of your gift. 6. You receive an a n nu a l i n ­ come that is largely tax-free . 7. You may receive estate tax savings . Many people have told me, " I ' d

What Does The Alumni Association Do ? By Ronald Coltom Alumni Director

I am asked the question fre ­ quently , usually by recent alum ni although not exclusive l y , "w hat does the alumni association do ? " This i s a valid question because, d e p e n d i n g o n an i n d i v i d u a l ' s location and interest they m a y not have much conta ct with the Alumni, and if they do proba bly t h e y get o n l y a v e r y na rrow l i m pse of what is go ing D, Pr i o r t each fiscal year I ha e to, for budgeti g p u r p o s e s , si d o wn a n d e v a l u a t e w ha t lies ahead for the alumni associa tio n. I welcome the exercise because it forces me to evaluate the past and d r e a m a l i ttle for the futu r e . B e c a u s e of l i m i t a t i o n s , b o t h physical and fi nanc i a l , some of my drea ms based on desi res of the Alumni Board are curtailed, but usually we can prioritize and d o t h a t w h i c h is best for the association. K nowing that m o s t alumni don 't get a n opportunity t o s e e the o v e r a l l p i c t u r e I would l ike to share with you our goals and ob­ j e c t i v e s for the c o m i n g fi s c a l year June 1975 through M a y 1976 .

S ec o n d l y w e plan to provide activities for Alumni both for en­ t e r t a i n m e nt a nd e d u c a t i o n a s follows :

Have a Homecoming reunion and banquet i n fal l . Presen t a wards and recogni­ t i o n to as m a n y A l u m n i a s appropriate . Sponsor and support lec t u r e s a n d sem i n a rs b y Distinguished Alu mni and others.

Cooperate with the Athletic De­ partment i n promoting a n d f a c i l i t a t i n g A l u m n i/ V a r s i t y

footbal l , basketball , and baseball games . Have three or fo u r A l u m n i Board meetings a year to set and implement policy for the Associa­ tion. Sponsor Golf and other special interest days . Orga nize Chapter/Club meet­ ings in areas with concentrations of alums . Hold one meeting i n e a c h a r ea a n n u a l l y with two meeti ngs in active a reas and bi­ o r tri -annual meetings in some areas. P l a n a con t i n u i n g e d u c ation program to cover as m a n y i n ­ terests and Alumni as possible.

A n d last, but b y all means not least, we have a goal of securing $100,000 in add i t i o n a l g i fts and pledges to New Directions. This we will do by : Bringing in 4 new members a

month to the " Q " Club. Send i n g F a l l "Schools Open­ ing" mailing to non-givers. Send ing Christmas end-of-year mailing. A telethon to non-givers, done by Class. An end of Fiscal-year mailing.

Dr . David Olson, PLU athletic director, lauded the credentials of the new hoop mentor who joined the PLU staff last fall as Lundgaard 's assistant. " E d Anderson is a talented and proven leader. He combines competence and genuine concern for people. We are confident of his ability to extend PLU's outstand­ ing basketball heritage . " The former Kingco Coaches Association president also serves as pitching coach fo r the Lute baseball squad and is an aide on Frosty Westering's PLU football staff. Born in Butte, Mont . , Anderson

grew up in Missoula and went on to stardo m in three sports at the �ni�ersity of Montana, grad uat­ mg In 1954. A gri zzly basketball team captain a s a senior and a n a 1 co nfe re nce pick a t guard Anderson was . er named to th� U n i v r s i t y of Montana Basketball Ha I of Fame . In addition, th 6-3 , 20S-pounder was an All-Skyline end in football a n d r e a c h e d h i s z e n i t h in baseball .

The perpetu a l l y ple a s a n t freshman coed from Oslo, Nor­ way is only guaranteed for a one­ year shine at PLU , but the gloss IS sure to rub off on all those around her.

"There is a multitude of exotic wax combinations for treating c r o s s c o u n try skis the blend dictated by s�ow and t e m p e r a t u r e c o n d i t i o n s " he said . "It takes a delicate ba'iance to g�t both glide and gripping qualIty. We used red klishter and applied the gooey substance too thIn.

" G ro has both o u tstanding endurance and effective techni­ que," continued Thieman about the energetic lass who is a cross country runner in the fall and an 880 and relay specialist on t h e Lute women's track team . " "It is a well-known fact that m o s t N orwegia ns grow up on skis.

Athletic Director Dave O l s o n echoed the sentiments of many when he said : "Gene Lundgaard h a s b e e n a l e ge nd in PLU basketball history - both a s a player and a coach. His coaching achievements and long service to PLU have been remarkable and are greatly appreciated by those of us at the University . "

She accepts the fac t that for years ahead she w i ll e d e a l i n g as much w i th uestions of sex as she will with ma tters of faith.

began to play devil 's advocate. We had some great discussions . " For months thereafter, howev­ er, she preferred to tell more casual friends and acquaintances that sh� planned to study " wor­ ship and li turgy . " It seemed more acc ptable until she was read y to defend herself. " Wo m e n have been c o n ­ dition ed to be i n g dependen t , " she said .

" I t ' s a caring profes sion, " she added. " I 'll be a caring person, a watchful person, like a shepherd. T h a t ' s a stre n g t h and that' s a weakness. It differs from other professional careers in that there

is a greater percentage of hope, b u t t h e r e is a l s o a g r e a t e r percentage o f disappointment. "Where people are is where I want to meet them, where we can be honest with ourselves and act the way we w ant to, where people are excited to be with one anoth­ er, " Miss Kintner continued. " We ' ve been trained to act as though Sunday morning is a quick o ne - t o - o n e z a p w i t h God a n d tha t's i t . I think that s tinks ! She a d ed , "A pa ri sh minister tod ay is l i k e a fa c i l i t a tor in a priesthood of believers . " She has already faced the ques­ tion of marraige many times .

"I believe it's easier if you s e t a c a reer goal and l e t events take their course . " During the past year most of M i s s K intner's " antagonists " have become her supporters, she points out.

'I have more ideas than days

in my life'

By Jim Peterson

Two close " off canvas" friends with a bright future in the field o f a r t com pleted their un­ d e r g r a d u a t e w o r k a t P a c ific Lutheran University in May with enticing graduate school offers. Wendy E nger of Lodi, Calif. , h a s been accepted at the Pratt I nstitute in Brooklyn, N. Y . , rated one of the top 10 art schools in the country . Sandy La ngston of Tacoma has been offered a teaching assistant­ ship at the University of Oregon School of Fine Arts. She plans to begin study there this summer. They seem strikingly alike in many w a y s . Both are attractive, mod and candid . They both came i n t o a rt after e x p l o r i n g o t h e r c a r e e r fields a nd t h e i r a r t experiences have followed simi­ lar paths. Wendy was a biology student at PLU before she took up a rt i n p r e p a r a t i o n for a c a re e r in medical i l l u s t r a t i o n . O n c e s h e w a s into art a n d s a w t h e career possibili t ie s , h e r for 1 r go a l s f ded a \\ a y quickly. Sandy graduated from PLU in 1965 with a degree in education. She taught for two y e a r s , t h e n devoted full-time t o homemaking duti s until she returned to the ca m p u s p a rt - t ime t hr e e y ears a go. Both loved a rt from childhood. " r began drawing before kindergarte n , " Wendy said. Her par nts were often told to take her to an art instructor. She final­ ly went in about the third grade. " B ut it was so easy it didn ' t seem like work . T h u s it d i d n ' t s e e m l i ke a valid caree r , " she added .

Bright Future Entices Top PL U Artists Sand y also found a rt easy . She won s e v e r a l prizes a t t h e M o n t a n a S t a t e F a i r , but there were not a r t i n s t r u c to r s i n Sunburst, Mont . , her hometown. Unlike Wendy, she was serious a bo u t a r t , but s h e also a greed with the then-dominant argument that a good student should pursue an " ac ademic" c areer. . ' Te a c h i n g was considered a good ' insurance policy' in case I had to work , " she explained. When they discovered art could off e r r e s p e c t a n d a l i v e l i h ood ( " There a re 101 different ways you can make a living in a rt , " Sandy said . ) , they both lost any desire for anything else . " We h a v e a lot i n c o m m o n because w e ' re both serious about our work. It's not a major, it's not a hobby , it ' s a way of life, " Wendy asserted. Neither suffers a n y lack of in­ spiration or creativit y , a fact that has been obvious this year on the P L U c a m p u s . T he i r w o r k h a s been o n exhibit frequently. "I have more ideas than there a re days in my life , " Wendy said . "The problem is to get them all

d o w n . T h ey come all the time, when I least expect the m . " According to Sandy, " O ne idea l e a d s to a n o t h e r - or s e v e n others. " Both believe t h a t d r a w i n g i s presently their primary medium, but b o t h a r e a l s o e x c e l l e n t p a i nters . Y e t they are already bra nchi ng s e r i o u s l y i nto o t h e r m ed i a : S a nd y into w e a v i n g , Wendy into sculpture and graphic d e s i g n . And both have t aken a pa inted i mage concept into their n e w p r o j e c t s , which provides s o m e r e a l l y new i n n o v a ti v e ideas. " All the wh ile I ' ve been paint­ ing I ' ve been hampered b y a lack of d i m e ns i o n a l i t y , " S a n d y e x · plained . "Sometimes I ' ve wanted to p u l l s o m e t h i n g t h ro u g h t h e c a nv a s . " S h e is solving that desire through t h e dimension a nd texture of weaving. Wendy has turned to the three-dimensional sculptured canvas for a similar effect . Their styles seem t o change a s rapidly a s their media as creativity seems to overflow. O ne of Sandy ' s problems has been to

stay with a style or concept long enough to get a cohesive body of work for a s howing. The huma n figure is dominant in m u c h of t h e i r rec e n t work, though Wendy ' s e ffo r t s a r e presently more abstract . " I con­ si d e r it f i g u r a t i v e , " s h e e x ­ plained. " A figure is a form but it doe s n ' t have to be an image . " To grow as an artist one must experiment with different styles, she believes . "In that sense, early success might be h a r mful to a young artist , " she said . "There would be a tendency to stick with a s t y l e t h a t was commercially successful . " Wendy hopes to stay in the New York City a re a i ndefinitel y , studying a nd exhibiting. She has al r e a d y t a u g h t a s a n u n d e r g r a d u a t e a s s i s t a n t a t PLU and part-time at Fort Steilacoom C o m m u nity College . She would like to eventually return to part­ time teaching at a university . Sandy hopes to earn a double masters degree in drawing and weaving. Teaching is apparently now in her past. She still has three c h i l d r e n to c a r e f o r a n d h e r h u s band has a n optometry pract i c e i n P a r k l a n d . B u t s h e p l a n s t o c o n t i n u e t o w o r k i n­ d e pe n d e n t l y a n d h o p ef u l l y exhibit. W e n d y a nd S a n d y a r e n ' t particularly concerned with the fact that men stilI dominate the contemporary a rt scene. "In this field it doesn' t matter as long as your work is good , " Wendy said . " It ' s a state of m i n d . I f y o u t h i n k y o u c a n do i t you c a n, " Sandy agreed.

"Actuall y , Latin has bee n defined as a 'dead ' language for centuries , " he explained . " It is not a spoken language , and it has been dependent upon the interest of scholars for survival. "In recent years , " Carleton added, " it has also been a dying classroom subject. The emphasis has been on ' living' languages . " The soft-spoken professor has been a member of the PLU facul­ ·ty since 1969, but took a year's leave of a bsence in 1972-73 to com­ plete his doctorate at the U n i ­ versity o f Texas. After averaging about a dozen students per class before he left, he was dismayed upon his return to find only two students enrolled in Latin in the fall of 1973. C a rleton w a s n ' t ready to let Latin die at PLU . "Most Latin teachers seem resigned to Latin ' s fate , " h e said. " They s a y Latin is a beautiful, exacting, precise and compact language. Then they say i t s e m p ha s i s on gra m m a t i c a l

analysis is considered too much of a ' b r a i n b r e a k e r ' fo r most young students. " They say the times and young people a re changing and that we need to be able to communicate in our work and play, and that Latin does n ' t fit the bill. " But there ' s a c o n t r a d i c t i o n h e r e s o m e w here , " h e s i g h e d , puzzled, " particularly if anyone has been listening to the ' hey man - like - I mean - ya know' genera­ tion lately . " Carleto n ' s course is now called Latin 101 - E nglish Word Build­ ing. I t ' s based on a s u c c e ssful Latin program devised by Judith LeBovit for elementary schools in Washington, D . C . Ms. LeBovit' s program for minority students emphasizes vocabulary building and relates directly to E nglish ; m o re t h a n S O p e r c e n t of a l l E nglish words are derived from Latin. Carleton studied the L e B o v i t program a n d adapted i t t o the col­ lege level . Then he began promot­ ing the course by working with the c a m p u s learning skills coordinator, the minority affairs director a n d others w h o c o u l d r e c o m m e n d the c o u r s e to students having proble m s w i t h vocabulary, grammar and self­ expression. As a r e s u l t , C a r leton ' s class this past fall a t t r a c t e d 2 0 students , a 1000 per cent increase o v e r t h e p r e v io u s y e a r . T h e classroom i s not yet bulging, but i t ' s the l a rg e s t e n ro l l m e n t i n many years . The word-of-mouth recommendations being p a s s e d a m o n g t h e s tu d e n t s w o u l d i n­ dicate a n even gre a t e r enrollment next fall. Richard Seeger, PLU learning s ki l l s c o o r d i n a tor who steered several students into the class , is

s o l d . " In the past I ' ve recommended stud y i n g v o c a b u l a r y b u i l d i n g t e x t s and keeping vocabulary notebooks , " h e s a i d . " Both a r e l a b o r io u s . Latin i s more efficient than either b e c a u s e th ere are several E nglish derivatives from many L atin wor d s , and grammatical rules are simplified and concise . " H e added, "Many students are tiring of constantly going to the d ictio nary or thesaurus to help t h e m e x p res s t h e m s e l v e s . The y ' re showing more interest in vocabulary and are beginning to realize that it improves not only their scholarship, but their self­ confidence as well . " " A fore i g n l a n g u a g e r e ­ quirement in college has become a re a l h a n g u p f o r m a n y students , " PLU minority affairs director Harold Gamble inserted. "The y ' re now finding that taking Latin for that requirement helps them a great deal with English expression and articul ation as well as vocabulary . " Gamble, too, is s te e r i n g s t u d e n t s , pa rticularly minority students, into the class. Carleton is optimistic enough to hope that a renewed interest in Latin will spread . " Maybe we've passed through the nadir of a monosyllabic , inarticulate age , " h e deadpanned, using Latin and Greek derivatives freely. "And m a y b e we c a n y e t k e e p o u r heritage from the great ancient cultures alive . "

Three new members w e r e elected to three-year terms on the PLU B o a rd of Rege n t s at t h e annua l PLU Corporation meeting June 6. New members are Dr. Christy Ullela nd , a Seattle pediatri i a n and former PL U Alumni Associa­ tion president ; Clayton Peterson, developm ent counselor at Children's Orthopedic Hos p i t a l , S e a t t l e , w h o s e r v e d a s v i ce­ p r e s i d e n t for deve l o p m e n t a t PLU for 14 years ; and Florence Orvik, former profe ssor in the P L U School of E du c a tion now se r v i n g a s a S p o k a n e p u b l i c schools p r incipal and language arts consultant. Re-elected members are Roger Larson of Pullman, Galven Irby of Portland , the Rev. David Wold of Puyallup, George Davis of Gig Harbor, a n d R u t h J effr i e s , Lawrence Hauge and Gene Grant, all of Tacoma. Dr. Ulleland, Peterso n ,

Larson, Irby and Wold are rep­ resentatives of the A m er i c a n Lutheran Church. Miss Orvik and Mrs . J effries r e p r e s e n t t h e L u t h e r a n Church i n A m e rica ; Hauge represe nts the PL U A lumni Association ; Grant and Davis are regents-at-Iarge.

C u rt i chairman of the PL U Hu ma nities di 'lsion. D e v lo p m e n t of the new courses is the latest in a continu­ ing series of activities scheduled as a part of the $60,000 proj ect. A fa c u l t y dev el o p m e n t program a nd a s e r i e s o f m i n i - c o u r s e s throughout the next year are also planned. The general goal of this effort is to institute and evaluate the in­ terdis ciplinary approach to the teaching of humani stic stud i e s , according to Huber. To help accomplish this , PLU h u m a ni t i e s profes sors will receive special training by n a t i o n a l l y - k n own consultants during a series o f workshops this coming summer . "This indeed may be one of the first development programs of its kind in the nation to attempt new s ty l e s of e d u c a t i o n for the future, " D r . Richard Jungkuntz, acting presiden t, said . " Students will have an opportunity to see h u m a n p r o b l e m s from an i n ­ tegrated perspective, with many a l'eas of learning contributing to unders tanding. " Both of next year's new course sequences are good examples. It would be difficult to fit either of them into a t r a d i t i o n a l d i s c i ­ plinary curriculum . The "Human Re spo n s i b i l i t y " s e q u e n c e e x ­ plores the theme of the origin, nature and development of our human sense of moral and social responsi b i l i t y . It re l a t e s these t h eories to a p p a re n t l y incom� patible deter m i n i s t i c v i e w s which seem to preclude freedom of choice or chance in h u m a n development.

The cover photo and two photos above earned Ken Dunmire, university photogra pher, awards at the 14th Annual Symposium of the University Photographer's Association in April. His work and that of 18 other photographers were chosen for representation in a traveling exhibition. He was one of four to have three prints chosen. The symposium featured entries from 115 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.

In the second course of the se­ quence, an actual historical p e r i o d w i l l be e x a mi ned f o r evidence and illustration of how human freedom, or its suppres­ s ion by v a r i o u s force s , either helps vindicate or discredit vari­ o u s t h e o r i e s of f r e e d o m a n d responsibility.

" R e n e w a l and Id entity in America" will be " a y e a r- l o n g adventure in American studies , " Huber obse r v e d . " A s w e celebrate the nation' s Bicentenni­ a l , students will h a ve a n o p p o rt u nity to explore ideas of hope, utopia and eternal progress in t h e l i t e r a t u r e , philosophy, drama, history and religion of A m e ri c a ' s first 1 00 years , " he added.

Louis Redix

Med School Ahead For PLU Grad Five years a g o Louis Redix Jr. planned to become a carpenter. I t ' s a well-paying skilled occupa­ tion, he thought, and perhaps as high a s a young Los Angeles black man d a re aspire . This spring , as a senior pre­ med student at Pacific Luthern University, he was accepted by f i v e m e d i c a l s c h o o l s . O ne of seven PL U students accepted for med school this year, he will be attending the U n i v e r s i t y o f C a l iforn i a - I rv ine Sc hool of Medicine. He graduated from PLU with a bachelor of science degree in biol­ ogy May 25. Redix , 22 , is an intense young man who makes no bones about the fact that he has worked hard and overcome obstacles to reach the threshold he s t a n d s u p o n today. Even at his young age he has experienced several major changes in attitude that h a v e affected the course of his life . As a Los Angeles teenager liv­ ing in a district between Watts and I n g l e w o o d , n e i t h e r h i s aspirations or motivations were very high. " I got a push in the right direction, though, when a high school counselor told m e , "You're too good at math a n d sci­ ence to throw your life away , ' " he said . At that point Redix began to a s p i r e t o w a r d a career in medicine or d e n t i s t r y . " I w a s thinking about the money I could make, " he recalled. About a year later a tragedy changed his motivation. "A baby belonging to a girl I knew died, " he said. " She hadn't been able to get help, even at a free clinic . " For Red ix, something clicked. "That became my motivation, " he explained. " I t h e n f e l t a

responsibility to try to help my peopl e . At that poi n t , I cho s e m e d i c i n e fo r re asons beyond economics. " A good a t h l e t e , he re ceived s e v e r a l o f f e r s of a t h l e t i c sc h o l a r shi p s , but he chose St. Olaf College in Northfield , Minn . , b e c a u s e it was the only school that o ffe red him an a ca demic s c h o l a r s h i p . After t w o y e a r s there h e transferred t o P L U . Redix is believed t o b e the first black pre-med student from PLU t o b e a c c e pted i n t o medical schoo l . Acceptance i s a n accom­ plishment attained by only one of every three applicants acros s the country. To be accepted at five schools is " quite rare" according t o PL U p r e - m e d a d v i s o r D r . Jerrold Lerum, b u t h e indicated t h a t m any stud ents cancel ap­ plications at other schools after they have been accepted at the one they prefer to attend. Redix ' s acceptances, h e indicated , came almost all at once. Though he is PLU ' s first, he won ' t be alone long. There are two black students in next year 's senior pre-med program. Upon completion of his medical training , Redix plans to return to his home district in Los Angeles to pursue a c a reer in g e n e r a l surgery.

' Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living'

Delivered At 1975 PLU Commencement E xercises May 24 By Dr. Richard Jungkuntz Acting President

Five score and twelve y e a r s a go, riding o n a bumpy train to Philadelphia, Abraham L i n c o l n wrote 267 words on the back o f an envelope. A m o n g those word s , which a few hours later he would speak at t h e dedication of t h e B a ttlefield of Gettysburg, were these : "The world will little note nor long remember what we say here . " Lincoln , o f c o u r s e , w a s wrong. B u t you will n o t be wrong at all, I ass ure you, if you apply t h o s e w o r d s to t h e s e " C o m­ ments . " After all, what do you say in a Commencement address that can p o s s i b l y m a ke a n y diffe rence whatever ? Sitting behind me are 150 odd faculty members - let me rephrase that ! - sitting behind me are mo re t h a n 1 5 0 fa cu lty m e m bers who o v e r the y e a r s h a v e c u mu l a t i vely sat through 1 800 hours of c o m m e n c e m e n t speeches. And one thing I can tell you for sure : they' re not expect­ ing anything at all. Two of them over there in the corner h a v e a l r e a d y s t a rt e d t h e i r a n n u a l game o f tic-tac-toe o n the back of their progra m s . And over here in t h e 4th row t hree h a r d - b i t t e n veterans are reading the science­ fiction paperbacks they snuck in under those big sleeves. So really, what can you possib­ l y s a y that would m a ke any difference ; when, after a l l , t h e difference - if there i s any - h a s already been made. And made , f o r b e t t e r or w o r s e , by w h a t happened between you and these strange but wonderful people, be­ tween you and these dedicated, c o m p e t e n t fa c u l t y m e m b e r s while you were here at PLU . But that I guess is exactly what I'd like to comment on. Human s o c i e t y h a s a l w a y s been interested i n educating its n e x t ge neratio n . T h e a nc i e n t J e w s , E gy p t i a n s , B a b yl on ians have all left records of what they t h o u g h t w a s t h e b e s t w a y to educate their young people. But in a real sens e , higher education as we know it today began with P l a t o , the student of Socrates, b a c k in the 4th C e n t u r y B . C . Plato, you kno w , founded a school in At hens w h i c h he c a l l e d t h e Academy. In this Academ y , Plato - together with his students pursued and applied the educa­ tional p rinciple which he h a d learned from Socrates , the princi-

Dr. Richard Jungkuntz

pIe that " the unexamined life is not worth living . " It is that principle, it seems to us at PLU , which has to be at the heart of this enterprise we call higher education. Because after all it' s true - as the brewers of Schlitz beer keep reminding us that you go around only once in life ! But where we differ from the m a k e r s of S c h l i t z i s t h a t we be l i e v e r e a l g u s t o , r e a l e n ­ j o y m ent o f l i f e , comes not s o much f r o m m a l t a nd h o p s , a s f r o m e x a m ining the l i f e , t h i s c r e aturely l i f e , t h a t G o d h a s g i v e n u s - e x a m ing this life closely, cri ti c a l l y , o bj ective l y , contextua lly, aesthetically, sci­ entifically, appreciatively - and thus becoming able to assess and evaluate w ha t r e a l l y m a k e s i t worth living. Education, as everyone knows, has too often and too widely been vict i m ized by w h a t I c a l l t h e " pu m p -handle " approach. You know, pump the information in, and then at final exam time pump it out. When actually education is the ceaseless cultivation, exercise a n d g ro w t h of t h e g r e a t e s t g i f t God has given us human beings to gether with our life - the gift of the mind, that incomparable living instrument that out of all creation is uniquely ours , a nd through which - if we choose - we are enabled to make of our life something more than vegetable or animal existence. And for us at PLU this includes a lso t h e rel igious dimension in our academic adventure. For as Jesus once told a rich young man who wondered about fulfilling his religious need : "Thou shalt love the Lord t h y God with a l l t h y heart and with a l l thy soul " - but more t h a n t h a t , " wi t h a l l t hy mind ! " If indeed the unexamined life is not w o r t h l i v i n g , t h e n essential to a life worth living is learning how to love the God of the Gospel with the mind ! I n short, if anything h a s happened here at PLU between you and this faculty that makes a difference worth talking about, it has to do with your mind and its

cultivation to the point where you will henceforth never be content w ith the un e x a m i ned life. And now let me haste n, if I can, to some conclusion s . There are two things that are u n ique about this year of your graduation. One is that this is the y e a r in w h i c h we b e g i n t h e o b s e r v a n c e o f our n a t io n ' s B i centennia l . And the other is that this year we Americans are in the worst economic situation we have had since World War I I . I n t h e m s e l v e s t h e s e a r e u n­ related facts. B u t what I h a v e been talking a bout has, in my view at least, a distinct and prac­ tical relation to them both. About two months ago the U . S. Commissioner of Education, D r . Terrel H. Bell, delivered a speech in which, among other things, he said : "The college that devotes itself totally and unequivocally to the liberal arts today is j ust kid­ ding itself. Today we in education must recognize that it is also our duty to provide our students with salable skills . . . To s e n d yo u n g m e n a n d w o m e n i n t o tod a y ' s world armed only with Aristotle, Freud and H e m i n g w a y is like sending a l a m b i nto the lio n ' s d en . " A nd t h e n h e w e n t o n to itemize several things in the skill ca tegory which in his view "a col­ lege must do in the academic area if it is to roll successfully with the times. " Well now, apart from the straw man argument by which the dis­ tinguished Federal Commission­ er seeks to rebuke private liberal a rts oriented colleges ( none of which to my knowled ge deliberately withhold from their students instruction in "salable s k ills " ) , the whole drift of his exhortation cries out for the kind o f e x a m i n a t i o n our old friend Socrates would have insisted on. A s m a l l s a m pl e of s u c h a n examination, I ' m happy t o report, has indeed been applied to Commissioner Bell ' s s p e e c h b y a nother Administration official , Mr. Robert A. Goldwin, who is a s p e c i a l con sultant to President Ford. Mr. Goldwin c o m m e nt s : " There is a problem in speaking of 'salable skills . ' What skills are s a la ble ? R i g h t now , s k i l l s for making automobiles are not high­ ly salable . . . Skills in teaching are not now as salable as they were . . . H o m e c o n s t r u c tion s k i l l s a re another example . . . The first diffi­ culty, then, is that if you want to build a curriculum exclusively on what is salable, you will have to make the courses very short a nd change them very often . . . to keep up with the rapid changes in the job market . . . Now if ( students ) gained nothing more from their studies than supposedly salable skill s, and ( then) can't make the sale because of changes in the j o b market, they have been cheated. " "But," Mr. Goldwin continues , "if those skills were more than

sala b l e , i f ( t heir ) s t u d y made them better citizens and made them happier to be human beings , they have not been cheated. They will find some job soon enough. It m ig h t e ven turn out that those humanizing and liberating skills are salable. Flexibility, an ability to change and learn new things, is a valuable skill. People who have learned how to learn, can learn outside of school. Tha t ' s where most of us have lear ned to d o what w e do, not i n school. Learn­ ing to learn is one of the highest liberal skills . " "There is more to living than e a rning a living, but many ( in fact ) earn good l i v i n g s by t h e l ib e r a l skills of a n a ly z i n g , experimenting, discussing, read­ ing, and writing. Skills that are always in demand are those of a mi nd trained to t h i n k and im­ a gine and express itself . " To these words of M r . Goldwin I would only add that the most s a l a b l e s k ill you have s ho u l d never b e for sale, a nd that i s your c ap acity for independent think­ ing. That capacity commands the best salaries on the open market. But like independence itself, as soon as you sell it, you've lost it. And speaking of indepe n d e n c e , s i n c e this is o u r Bicentennial year, let's remember that it was thinking men and women who made the American Revolutio n s o m e t hi n g f a r g r e a t e r t h a n a revolution ; and thinking men and women who m ade possible our scientific a n d i nd u s t r i a l r e v o l u t ion s ; a nd t hinking men a nd women who a re p rov i d i n g e c o l o g i c a l correctives t o those revolution s ; a nd t h i n k i n g m e n a n d women who over a hundred painful years have been clarify­ ing America ' s understanding of j ustice a nd equal rights. In fact, is it not true that the most patriotic thing you can do for your country is to think ; and, if Jesus was right, as I believe He was, it is also one of the most genuinely religious, pious things you can do. Knowing this faculty as I do, i n every division and every school, I am confide nt t h a t y o u are n o t leaving here without h a v i n g learned the pleasure, a s well as the pain, of thinking, so that the lives you live will indeed be con­ tinually examined and thus well worth the living. PL U is proud to send you out in the wave o f pioneers who w i l l b l a z e a g o o d , c l e a r t r a i l into America's third century. You do have a job to do. You have the skill to do it. With God' s help you will do it. Vaya con Dios. Go with God .

Gift Offers Asset , Income Solution By Ed Larson Director, Deferred Giving

•

E very now and then I encoun­ ter someone w h o h a s the following situation : An a s s e t w a s p u r c h a s e d s o m e t i m e a g o . Over the ye a r s i t h a s g r o w n c o n ­ s i d e r a b l y i n v a l u e . U n­ fortu na t e l y , t h i s a s s e t i s p ro d u c i n g l ittle, if a n y , s pe n d a b l e i n c o m e . I f t h e owner sells the asset, h e will be assessed a capital gains tax on the increased growth value of the property, thus r e d u c i n g t h e a m o u n t of pri n c i p a l a va i l a b l e for i n ­ vestment. The dilemma fac­ ing the owner is this : he can h a r d l y afford to k e e p the a s s e t , a n d h e can h a r d l y afford to sell it. A deferred gift with a lifetime income can s o m e t i m e s offer a solution to such a predicament. When a deferred gift is funded with an asset that has grown in value over the years, the return to the donor is based on the current fair market value of the asset. No m a tter how s m a l l the original cost, the income to the donor is based on today's market value, not the value after paying capital gains taxes. T h e re are additional benefits as well. Because of the charitable nature of the gift, the government allows a charitable contribution d e d u c t i o n now on the d o no r ' s current income tax . The donor i s relieved of management worries in that the trustee now i s responsible for the care and disposition of the asset . : Lastly, and most Important, 10 addition to prov i d i n g more spendable income to the don or, . there is the pleasure of know1Og that an eventual gift will accrue to Pacific Lutheran U n i v e r s i t y for the purpose o f providing qual­ ity education within a Christian context.

A celebration o f quality w a s the informal theme of the spring Q Club Banquet May 12 and the ban­ quet a ddress , deli vered by D r . William O . Rieke. I n his first major on-campus address since his selection as the next president of Pacific Lutheran University, Dr. Rieke called attention to "the particular effort and special committment that typify the total educational process at PLU. "The proof of this assertion is found in review of the location, activities and contributions of the products from PL U over the last several decades , " he said. " E v e n a c u rsory glance will show that alumni from this i n ­ stitution are scattered across the face of our globe and are serving in many capacities, in many in­ stances with great distinction, " Dr. Rieke continue d . Developing thoughts on t h e m ea n i n g o f q u a l i t y , h e added, " Many of us believe that the dis-

t in c t i o n with which our alumni serve is a direct reflection of qual­ ity - the giving of oneself, the dedication, the committment, the outreach and concern for others - that was observed, practiced and incorporated on this campus by p e r s o n s t h a t b e c a m e t h e products of PLU . " Dr. Rieke i nd i c a t e d t h a t t h e first important product o f quality is academic excellence and a special distinction of service. The second prod u c t , he s a i d , i s h a p p i n e s s a n d securit y , t h e byproduct of e x t r a o r d i n a r y e ffor t . " I t i s this which allows PL U to openly embrace all of the w orld ' s k nowledge while s im ultaneously offering a clear direction for life determined by the C h r i s t i a n c o nv i c t i o n , " h e observed . "We need you , " he added, " a s p e r s o n s , a s c o n c erned supporters, loyal critics , acti v e advocates a n d individual friends. Without you, we cannot succee d . With you, we n o t only w i l l con­ tinue the traditions of quality, we will expand them and spread the important influence that PL U can p ro v i d e o v e r e ver-widening areas .

Do You Remember When ? By Wayne Saverud

Presi d e n t , Alumni Association

Do you remember when faculty members at PLU were told that they would receive one-third of their salary in cash each month and the rest when the money was available ? Or did you know that the Board of Trustees offered the Ha rstad family room and board plus $8. 00 per month in cash if M r s . H a r s t a d would s e r ve a s hous e mother and i f the school could have the use of Harstad ' s two cow s . D o you remember the o r g a n i z a t i o n of P L U ' s f i r s t Alumni Association i n the winter of 1901-02 ? The recorded purpose was to hold reunio n s , fur n i s h books for the library, and collect money for a gymnasium and a l a boratory. B y 1 9 1 7 - 1 8 , the Alumni had grown to the point that they could pledge $2,500 to­ ward a new gymnasium. O b v io u s l y , a few can recal l these events. But they are a part of our heritage and should not be forgotten . This information (and much more ) was compiled for us by the l a t e D r . W a l t e r Schnackenberg i n The Lamp and The Cros s .

T h i s f a l l , as we j o i n in the c e l e b r a t i o n of the Sesqui­ centennial, let us be reminded of our historical moorings. PLU has a purpose beyond providing the best possible educational opportunities within the limits of i t s c u r r i c u l u m . Tha t purpose must be to provide that quality education w i t h i n the C h r i s ti a n context . Reformation theology, with its emphasis on the grace of God, compliments perfectly this type of liberal education. During this festive year, let us r e - c o n f i r m o u r s e l v e s to t h i s basic, historic purpose.

one-half a million dollars . On May 3 1 , at the close of the University' fi s c a l y e a r we fi n i s h e d w i t $302,271 i n gifts o r pledges to New Dire tion s . This omes from 727 donors for an average pledge o f $4 16. The Steering Committee con ­ sisting of Dr. Robert Mortvedt, ho no r a ry ch a i r m a n ; L e R o y S p itze r '52, national chairman ; Christy Ulleland ' 63 , ;3. d v a n c ed a nd major gifts ; Don Hall '58, main phase ; and Ray Tobiason ' 5 1 , special gifts ; diligently laid the ground work for a task that has been a simple one but has required a lot of hard work from over 200 dedicated alumni. In the advanced phase 19 alums worked to help solicit $157,000. a The main phase of the dri ve ha � p roduced over $145,000 with about 200 " key alumni" helping to se­ cure these fund s . A personal con­ tact campaign was held starting in Pierce County and extended as f a r as M i n ne a p o l i s a n d S a n Diego . The finishing touch of the main phase was the telethon held at VVeyerhaeuser in Federal VVay in which 44 alums raised $31 ,000 in two nights of calling. Actual income for the 1974-75 f i s c a l year was $80,561 coming from 721 donors for an average a n n u a l g i f t of $1 1 2 . This re p-a r e s e n ts an increase of n e a r l yw $38,000 over the 1973-74 income. Distribution of this year 's income is as follows : Alumni Family Scholarships $10,000 Alumni Merit Scholarships 20,000 25,000 Library Acquisitions 15,000 Venture Projects Alumni E ndowment 4,561 $80,561 As is evidenced by t h e participation, alumni are takin ra great pride i n being able t � provide this kind of support. What about n e x t ye a r ? W i t h $300,000 i n pledges w e will need $100,000 a year for each of the next two years to meet our goa l . This can be accomplis hed b y encouraging donors to give at the $20-a-month " Q" Club level and by expanding participation to in­ clude those who have yet to give to the program - many of whom will be first-time givers . I have no doubt at all that with the enthusiasm I see generating from the alumni that we will not only meet our goal but will excee it with New Directions in alumm giving_

Dr. W·lli am O . Rieke might be forgiven a s l i g h t t o u c h o f p r e t e n t io u s ne s s ; he h a s the record to allow it. But he displayed none. S h i rt-s leeve d , wiry of build and frank of viewpoint, Dr. Rieke lounged in an e a s y chaIr i n the office of the president of Pacific Lutheran University. He seemed more reminiscent of the boy who ca me from the w h e a t l a n d a ro u n d Odessa, Lincoln County , t h a n the m a n who h a s b e e n a t e a c he r a nd adm inistrator for 1 7 y e a r s i n some of the nation ' s larger uni­ versities. He has left that behind to take over the presidency of his alma m a ter, a 3 ,000-student, church­ related, liberal-art s university which apparently is on even keel af er stormy sea s . T h e p articula r k ind o f un­ happiness and unrest that was on this campus a few years ago has gone , " Dr. Rieke agreed. "I take no credit for that. Dr. Jungkuntz calmed the waters. " T h e r e f e r e n c e w a s to D r . Richard Jungkuntz, provost and interim president until Dr. Rieke took over the helm. The unrest r e s u l t e d fr o m a c l a sh of philosophy and personality be­ tween Dr. Rieke ' s predecessor, • •

Dr. Eugene Wiegman, and facul­ ty members and regents . The split left the opening in the p r e s i d e n t ' s office w h i c h D r . Rieke was called to fill, taking over on August 1 . A key question, obviously, is why he would take the job. Dr. Rie k e , a U ni v e r s i t y o f W a shington School o f Medicine honors graduate in 1958 , left a satisfying and stimulating posi­ tion as executive vice-chancellor for health affairs at the Universi­ ty of Kansas Medical Center to come to PLU . He had been at Kansas since 197 1 , going there from the Uni­ versity of Iowa where he had been a p r o fe s s o r a n d h e a d of the department of anatomy. Before that he filled various responsible positions at the U.W. School of Medicine. Even after he had accepted the PLU post , Dr. Rieke had been offered a position as head of a health-science center for a major university. T h o u g h t ful l y , h e t o l d h i s reasons for coming back to the Parkland campus where he had

graduated summa cum laude in 1953 and where he was named the distinguished alumnus in 1970. "The time was right," he said. "If I had not attained in my own field , I would not have done it. But I felt I had shown I could be a s u c c e s s f u l a ca d e m i c administrator in a major state medical institution . . . "At the University of Kansas, we were able to get a $60 million building program under way of which $10 million was money we talked the state out of. I take some pride in that, frankly. But not in an arrogant sense at all. "Had I not done that, I proba­ bly would not have been receptive to this . " H e h a d a more i m p o r t a n t reason. "There was a side of my life you can't practice at a state in­ stitution . . . the blend between what we believe and what we learn and think. " S o I w a s loo k i n g for a n opportunity to find a setting in which that could happen. This is a place where it could . " PLU was also his alma mater and his wife 's . So there was some­ thing of homecoming in his deci­ sion. Moreover, he m issed the mountains and the ocean. But Dr. Rieke insisted , " W e were happy in the Midwest. The people there are tremendous. I

bave nothing but positive things to s ay . " So those four reasons - the a ppeal of a new profe s s io n a l challenge, the need for a place to join religious truth to secular truth, an urge to come back to his alma mater and the lure of the Pacific Northwest - brought him back . Intertwined is his definition of a church-related university. "I think the challenge of this i n s t i t u t i o n is to c o n t i n u e t o develop a solid education while keeping the Chri s t i a n environment , " Dr. Rieke said. "I believe very strongly that t h e r e a re two sides to every­ body's life. One is the side which has to do with information about the world in which he lives. The other has to do with his spiritual side . " If you can put them together in some fashion, I think you come out with a whole individual. That ' s really the reason I took this job. " Dr. Rieke emphasized again : "We are not a church. We ' re an educational institution. Our first goal has to be first-class educa­ tion. But we want to do that in a '

secular tru setting that is Christian with peo­ ple who a r e profes s i o n a l a n d Christian scholars. " But wouldn't the univers ity ' s frankly Christian base somehow inhibit scholarship ? "On the contrary , " D r . Rieke contended. "I would say that, of the world 's religions, Christianity is the most open and most able to embrace all sides . . . " I don't think being a profes­ sing Christian inhibits you from looking at anything - if it' s done appropriately. " B oth Chri s t i a n ity a n d t h e study o f the world 's knowledge are after truth. In my view they are on paths that will intersect at one point, if it's done objectively and correctly. " Dr. Rieke talked about his idea of a university and what openness means. "To be a real P'liversity, we must be ope n , " l'.. e s a i d . " B u t openness does not mean a lack of convictio n . O p e n n e s s d o e s n ' t mean you don't believe in any­ thing. " Openness means you are free to inquire, that you are free to r a i s e a n d s t u d y i s s u e s o b­ j ectively. Openness should not be confused with passivity or lack of conviction or no belief. It's not the same at all . " T h e a c k now l e d g e m e n t t h a t PLU is a church-related universi­ ty occasionally leads some people

to assume that it is conservative . Dr. Rieke dismissed the thought : " It's not necessarily true at alL ' " He grinned at the memory of the student w h o , having heard a bout the n e w p r e s i d e n t a n d c h urch relatedness, asked him, " Does this mean you're going to re-institute compulsory chapel ? " Dr. Rieke laughed : " Of all the guys who cut compulsory chapel, I was No. I . " H e turned serious : "That isn 't the way to get there. The way to get there also is not sitting back and not taking a stand. You've got to live what you believe; you 've got to practice what you preac h . But that doesn't mean to ram it down somebody's throat. " In point of fact, PL U is owned by t h e A m e r i c a n L u t h e r a n C h u r c h . B u t t h e a m o u n t of financial support and direction is so s m all that the university is virtually in business for itself. " O u r r e l a t i o n s h i p ( to t h e church ) i s one o f h a v i n g s o m e c o m m o n a lity o f t h o u g h t a n d belief, " Dr. Rieke said . "It i s not o n e o f r e s p o n d i n g to every demand and request the church makes of us . " He emphasized his own inten­ tion to "cultivate our friendship with the church . " He defin e d church broadly, meaning not j ust the A . L . C . but all Lutherans , not just Lutherans but all Christians . "Le s s than half o u r student body is Lutheran, " he noted. Some of Dr. Rieke 's colleagues

at other private colleges and uni­ versities in the state may have a r c h e d an eyebrow at learning that he is opposed to direct public assistance for such schools. "Had I not worked in state uni­ versities for 17 years and been in top administrative positions and seen what happens when you get a d irect appropriation fro m t h e state, I p robably wouldn 't say that," Dr. Rieke explained. "But I believe the role and mis­ sion of this university would be c o m p r o m ised by the inevitable restrictions that would be placed on it if it were to accept state aid . . . "I 've seen too many decisions about educational problems that were made on a political basis. That's just not healthy. " Yet, Dr. Rieke insisted he was not opposed to public aid which m ig h t be fu nneled directly to students, whether in public or in private schoo l s , as " a kind of state aid that would help avoid the problem of being tied directly, politically to the state. " He laughed, "Not all of my col­ leagues agree with me on that . " Dr. Rieke emphashed his view that private colleges a n d u ni ­ v e rsities are necessary a s an alternative to state schools . " I ' m not k nocking the state system," he said . "I worked in it all my professional life until now.

But there must always be that alternative. " The new preside nt ' s view of PLU was confidently optimistic. "Things are looking very good for us , " he said. "Our enrollment has just gone out of sight for the fall . . . There will be 100 more students coming tha n we k now where to put right now . " Last year, PLU had 2,840 full­ time-equivalent students. In the coming ye a r , e n r o l l m ent i s expected to break 3,000. That will be about all the Parkland campus can handle. This is in contrast to the 800 students at PLU when Dr. Rieke was an underclas s m a n t h e r e . There are other differences. "There w e r e five o r s i x b u i l d i n g s and the operating budget was maybe a third o f a m il l i o n d o l lars , " D r . Rieke remembered. "Now, there are 30 plus buildings and an operating budget of more than $11 million. " He reflected , "There ' s plenty of c h a l l e n g e . I t ' s a m a j o r business, a major industry. At the same time, it provides academic stimulation and an opportunity to be a Christian and practice that in my business . " Which is why, basica l l y , D r . Rieke has come to PLU as pres­ ident.

Full of fun and surprises, the R ieke fa m i ly ' s arrival is com­ parable to the receipt of a holiday package.

At the University of Kansas last year, she made many new friends and was sorry to leave her resp o n s i b i l i t y o n a s t u d e n t housing board and membership in a sophomore honorary, Cwens, s i m i l a r to S p u r s on the PLU campus. Needlework is her thing and a b asket cont a i n s a n u m b e r o f pieces on which she i s a t work. All of the family join in giving a welcome to any and all who come to their house. "It would kill me," said Susan, "if there were a room full of peo­ ple in my house and I didn't know who they were.

Remembering names is an im­ portant requirement in a home through which many associations will be formed : faculty members and families, trustees , regents, students, visiting dignitaries as w e l l as p e r s o n a l s ch o o l a c ­ quaintances. Mrs. Rieke pointed out that life in Kansas City, where he husband w a s v i ce c h a n c e l l o r o f t h e hospital and medical school at the U nivers ity of Kansas, afforded friendship with great and near­ great personages. " All of our experie nce there was so profitable and inspiration­ al, " she said. "We had even Nobel P eace Prize winners as house­ guests ."

She expects to find being the wife of a university p resident more demanding than her life in Kansas City . There, she easily was able to combine community and campus affiliations such as the Cancer Society, Friends of the Zoo and the women's auxiliary of the medical school. For Dr. and Mrs. Rieke, PLU is a romantic scene. They met and dated there before marrying in 1954, soon after Mrs . R i e k e ' s graduation. She also took post­ graduate work at the University of Washington and the University of Oregon. She maintained offices for speech therapy for six years in Seatt l e ' s m e d i c a l - d e n t a l building.

" But, of course, at that time even offices, classrooms and the dining room were in Old Main , " she pointed out. The renewal of classmate and faculty friendships is rewarding to both the new president and his wife. Returning to the sub j e c t o f calendars, dates for the Riekes are filling in fast, with the first of importance being Dr. Rieke's in­ stallation. Then there 's Christmas. Dr. Rieke always devises a new family game for the holidays ; there are always extended days of open houses with two trees to be viewed. One, the family tree, features a calico theme .

" Even Bill complained of sore fingers," Mrs. Rieke recalls. In preparation for this coming Christm a s , Susan already is working Christmas figu res i n crewel o n a wall hanging. PLU's Christmas celebrations drew the most p o i g n a n t memories of Mrs. Rieke's college days . That is, next to remembering her dating the young man whom she married, never dreaming of t h e fo r t u n e t h a t s o m eday he would bring her back again. Reprinted by permission

ent Education With Edification For E nablement Inaugural Address By Dr. William o. Rieke President, Pacific Lutheran University

With humility, honor and joy rivaled in intensity only by the earnestness of my prayer to be worthy of the challenge, I accept the medallion of office and pledge to the living God and to this migh­ ty audience assembled that as the Lord gives me strength so wiII I labor faithfully to discharge the r e s p o n s i bi l i t i e s of b e i n g the eleventh President of P ac i f i c L u t h e r a n U n i v e r s i t y . To the extent that there is honor it is valid only because you, my col­ lea gue s , fa m i l y a nd friend s , cause it to be. To the extent that there is joy, it is meaningful only because you celebrate it with me. To t h e e x t e n t t h a t t h e r e i s challenge, it becomes opportuni­ ty because of the certainty that you wiII work with me. To the extent that there is ho pe a n d purpose i n all o f this, i t is certain only because of the continuing grace - the unmerited mercy of God our Father which d aily flows abundantly on each of us. My wife, Joanne, and family join me in thanksgiving and in the re­ quest that your voices join with o u r s in fervent p e t i t i o n s for penet r a t i n g w i s d o m , p at i e n t strength, and persistent humility. Twenty-two y e a rs a n d four months ago a graduating senior stood in Memorial Gymnasium just a few hundred yards east of thi s great auditorium to receive t h e b a c c a l a u r e ate h o n o r s of summa cum laude. Although the a ccol a de a s well as the adm onitions that accompanied the honor made the day one never to be forgotten , there was at no time even a remote thought that a li ttle over two decades later this senior would return to almost that exact location to assume the pres­ idency of his alma mater . Nor did such ideas spawn even evanescently when a year after bis commencement his wife-to-be graduated in a similar fashion. It wiII be understood, then, that the joy of the day, the emotion of the ceremony, and the honor of this event e ncompass us with tides that can be acknowledged a nd articulated but neither evaluated nor explained. Agai n , we a r e mindful that it would not b e thus except for you ! B ut i n a u gu r al events in con­ temporary society have celebrations that are short lived. The sobering press of multiple r e s p o n s i b i l itie s in office , the

physically demanding p a ce of long days and longer nights, the emotiona lly draining stress of reconciling irreconcilable forces , h a v e t u r ned the i na u g u r a l trumpets into a haunting wake for many an unwary chief executive these days. Indeed, the moments of joy must be followed by hours of labor, but neither the time, the effort, nor the result need be in vain if all recognize the mission to be accompli shed and w o r k p r a y e rf u l l y a n d d e l i g e n t l y t o ge t h e r to i m ple m e n t t h e mission. On several previous occasions I have idicated that a statement of mission of the University, that is, i t s r e a s o n -t o b e , w o u l d b e forthcoming this fall. The time is now appropriate for an articula­ tion of the mis sion of Pacific Lutheran University. I say " an articulation" for what wiII be offered is obviously no more than the thought of one individual. It wiII remain of no greater stature unless it promptly is understood and, if need be, refined so that it can be embraced and endorsed by many. Beca u s e a mo n g h i s o t h e r d u t i e s it i s t h e P r e s i dent' s responsibility to set intellectual t i d e s i n m o t i o n , to e s t a blish reference points} and t h e n t() operate (rom - the m lmTess- and until they are modified, I make so bold as to suggest a statement of mission for our U niversity. It is : "Long committed to providing an education which genuinely is quality, with a heritage that i s L u t h e r a n a n d a n environment that committedly is Christian, Pacific Lutheran University today embraces its mission, asserting Education w i t h E d i fi c a tion fo r Enablement. The University a ffir m s t h a t it s re ason for existence ( mission ) is found in the truth that mankind is best enabled to l i v e j oyful ly and s e r v e c o m l e t e l y w hen exposed to the synergy which d e r i v e s un i q u e l y fro m t h e admixture o f t h e best in educa­ tion with the noblest in Christ­ ian edification . To provide an environment which integrates education and edification and t h e re b y enables students to participate fully in life attest­ i n g w i t h S t . J a m e s of o l d (James 3 : 30) that the wise and understanding person lives a life of service in the humility of wisdom - this is the mission of the University."

It was necessary to burden you with the complete statement, a s inadequate o r imperfect as i t may be, for without a written text there can be no beginning to an orderly process of determining what - if anything - he said. Statements of mission, like mas­ ter plans or many other com­ prehensive documents, are often of li mited value beca use their existence is known to too few, and t h o s e who are aware of them don't understand them bec a u s e

Dr. William O. Rieke their language is obtuse, verbose, or just plain vacuous. What, then, was said ? The central thrust is s i mply that Pacific Lutheran University has as its reason to be the provi­ sion of education with edification for enablement. Each of the three central terms in the series of a l l i t e r a t i o n of " e " ' s w i l l b e d ef i n e d a n d dis cussed s ubse­ quently. Before turning to this, however, the mission statement asserts further than in integrat­ ing education with edification, a uniquely s ynergistic effect i s obtained which optimally enables students to live joyfully and serve completely - meaning as total individuals not fra g mented by d isj unctions between i ntellect a nd s p i r i t . T h i s c o n c e p t of synergistic effect is not original, for i n 1 9 5 0 H o w a r d L o w r y observed "Reflection is easy and commitment is easy, but the two tasks together - that is an educa­ tional task demanding the highest powers. " Although not new, the kind of s ynergy we have con ­ sidered is different. With this un­ derstanding, let us look briefly at e a ch of the primary terms i n education with edification for enablement. Education i n the m i s s i o n statement i s meant to indicate that Pacific Lutheran is first and foremost an institution of higher learning. It is not something else, though some would impose upon it a host of inappropriate roles ranging on the one extreme from an ecclesiastical bastion of tradi­ tion isolated from society to the other extreme of being an institu­ tion devoted primarily to social welfare or social action. Educa­ tion in its highest quality and best academic rigor is rather the mis­ sion of Pacific Lutheran. Though the debate has raged for decades whether private institutions, and particularly private, church related institutions, should con­ tinue in the field of education, we will not engage in the debate, believing that time and historY have proved the value of Chris­ tian higher education. However, we wiII not be gainsaid by those who note an apparent decline in the role of private post secondary institutions nationally. We will not, for while it is true that only 22 per cent of the nation's college

age students are being trained in private rather than public i n ­ stitutions today as compared t o 50 per cent in private institutions in 1950, it is also true that the total number of students in private in­ s titutions has increased by one million during the same period. This indicates simply that both public and p rivate institutions have expanded with the the great­ er proportionate growth occur­ ring in the tax supported sector. Education in the private post ­ s e c o n d a r y s e c t o r m u s t be maintained n o t o nly a s a n i m­ portant alternative to the large public school for the student, but also a's an institution where hard data establish tha t under com­ p a rable conditio n s , the actual cost p e r s t u d e n t is l e s s , t h e f l e x i b i l i t y a nd c a p a c i t y t o respond t o n e w p ro g r a m s i s greater, and the i ndividual or personal contact between faculty and students is infinitely greater ! Education, and quality education r e m ai n , a n d w i l l re m a in a primary part of the mi ssion of Pacific Lutheran University. B u t e d i fi c a t i o n - o r t h e p rocess of instruction and im­ proving the mind with reference to moral and spiritual values - is also an important part of the mis­ s i o n of P L U . P r o u d o f i t s Lutheran heritage and eager to a ffirm i t s rela tionship to the Lutheran church specifi c a l l y , and Christianity generally, PLU also accepts responsibility for providing an environment that is edifying. Moreover, by integrat­ ing edification with education, all learning, w h e t h e r s e c ul a r o r spiritual, i s treated as a search for God 's truth - which, after all, exists as much in the redemptive i m p act that faith h a s h a d o n culture a s it does i n culture or nature its elf ! This i ntegrated , comprehensive search for God 's truth, whether in nature or i n faith, leads to a synergistic effect between education and edifi ca ­ tion such that the two together . impact the studen n a manner that is greater, more productive, and more relevan to the whole i n d iv i d u a l t h a n e a c h c a n do separately. To amplify by quot­ ing from Arthur Holmes, "The fact is that faith liberates, rather than enslaves the mind. It helps me understand myself and m y w o r l d , i t c r e ates a positive attitude to learn i n g . C hristi a n liberty is neither irresponsible license nor repressive bondage, a nd a c a demic freedom in the Christian college must rest o n this realization. " Christian liber­ ty, as well as the zeal to educate, do require , however, the open admission and e v e n e a g e r analysis of all claims to truth, no matter how divergent or different t h e y m a y b e . T h a nk God for divergent views which daily force us to re-examine our own persua­ sion and be certain of our spiritu­ al foundations. Yes, thank God ( Continued

for these but do not mistake openness �r objective analysis of unorthodox views for lack of con­ viction . Pacific L.utpe.ran U�i­ versity remains sohd 1 0 Its Chnstian conviction - a condition that remains a requisite if the edifying mission of the institution is to be met. With Leo Tolstoy we may note that " It is easier to produce ten volumes of philosophical writ­ ing than to put one pri�ciple into practice." The I)ne prmcIJ?le we will practice, however, IS our Christian conviction. We dare not leave the subject of edification without calling attention to the often unpublished truth that far and away the greatest force in edification at this University is the quietjQY, the obvi.ou� concern arid dedicated Chrlstlan com­ mitment of its students, faculty, and staff who as individuals in day to day contacts witness to each other in ways far beyo�d those provided in formal worship or educational settings. Finally, if PL� is t� e�ucate w i t h e d i f i c a t I on It I S for enablement ! Enablement as a term by itself is obviously incom­ plete for it s i m ply means t � provide the means, the opportuOl­ ty, or the power. But it is not .by itself for it is enablement to hye the joyful, free and complete hfe of the whole individual totally e d u c a t e d and e d i f i e d an d enthusiastically committed to a life of service. Here it is that the pragmatic or "show me " attitude of St. James provides dire�tion. In James 3 : 1 3 we learn Who among you is wise or clever ? Let; his right conduct give practical proof of it, with the modesty that comes of wisdom" ( � . � . B ) Though the forces of cYOlclsm 10 today's world would deny the re­ quirement for "practical proof" and would decry the prac.tlce of modesty deriving .from wlsd0!D, the mandate of scrIpture remams valid and the experi�nce of e�ch Christian life provld.e� ongOl�g testimony to this vah �lty .

Gifts of Life Insurance B y E d Larson

Director, Deferred Giving

Life insurance programs are built up over a period of years, with a prime mo�ive being th �t insurance p rOVIdes economIC protection to an individual an� his or her family during the tlme when the insured's estate is not sufficient to perform this task. As time passes, these needs usua�ly lessen - either through the 10crease of other assets, or by the reduced needs of the dependents, or both. Sometimes a review of one ' s ins urance program can lead to the conclusion that a sub­ s t an t i a l p rtion of one ' s in­ suran c e c an be c h an g e d t � designate Pacif�c . Lutheran Uol­ versity as benefICIary. A person can purchase . a new policy and irrevoca�l'y assign the ownership to PaCIfIC Lutheran University. In such a .case, the p r e m i u m s a re con S idere d. a charitable gift on one's federal I� ­ come tax return. If a person. IS uninsurable, he or she may wish to take out a policy on the life of another person and assign . it to FLU. Once again, the premIUms are tax deductible. Another plan is to assign annu­ al dividends to Pacific Luthera.n University. In this way a person IS able to give tax-free inc o m e systematically to PLU, and s!lch dividends as gifts are deductlble on one's income tax return. There are numerous ways that individuals can make a gift to PLU through life insurance. Our University can either .be. name� the beneficiary of an eXIstmg poh­ cy, or a co-b�neficiary, . s e c ­ ondary benefiCIary or remamder beneficiary of the proceeds. . . It should be noted that PaCIfIC Lutheran University does not se�l life insurance. We suggest that If you intend to pursue the possibili­ ty of such a gift that you contact your personal life insurance rep­ resenta ive .

Q Club Plans Person To Person Drive B y David Berntsen Director, Special Giving Programs I

M e mbers of the P a cific Lutheran University Q Club will be taking an increasingly active part in the recruitment of new members this year. This year's program, accord­ ing to officers and directors of t�e Q Club will place new emphaSIS on per;on-to-person contact. This goal will be accomplishe� part.ly b y a series of gatherIngs In Washington, Oregon and Alaska, hosted by Q Club memb�r� . PLU President Dr. WIlham O. Rieke and officers and directors of the Q Club will participate in the gatherings. The first such gathering was held at the Washington Athletic Club in Seattle Sept. 25. Dr. Rieke was the speaker. Q Club membership, which h B:d reached 440 by early summer, IS expected to exceed 500 by the end of the year. Of the members, 81 are "Fellows," contributors of $1 000 or more a year. The university' s scholarship fund has been increased by more than $125,000 this year, due in sub­ stantial part to the efforts of the Q Club. But although finances are im­ portant to the Q Club, the most important thing is to increase un­ derstanding of the goals and purpose of PLU. • At present there are 13 Q Club area chairmen designated. Our

New Logo Introduced This Fall A new university logo for use on PLU publications and letterhead has been introduced this fall. Designed to coincide with the advent of President Rieke ' s administration, the logo will be recognized by alums and others acquainted with the PLU campus as the ros e window from

Eastvold's Tower Chapel. (It is incidental that the Tower Chapel was under construction and com­ pleted during Dr. Rieke's student days at PLU. ) The s y m b o l r e p r e s ents graphically th� conceP.t o� "Qual­ ity educatlon m a Chnstlan con­ text," which is PLU's heritage. It should be noted that the familiar University seal, carry­ ing the Chi Rho symbol and lamp of learning, is not being replaced. The seal will continue to be used on all publications, as well as official university forms. P aul L. Porter, director of graphics and pu blications at PLU, designed the logo.

A matter of tion

By Jim Peterson

His eyes twinkling, the man in the whi e coat with the deep, quiet voi e offers word s of encourage ment from behind an imm aculate white mou s ta che. Quite suddenly the a nswer starts c o m i n g to ge t h e r for a young tuden and a hidden s mile of sa tisfa ction crosses the kindly face f Dr obert Olsen. Such has been the experience of countless PLU c h e m i s t r y tudents ver the past 28 years. At least partiy due to the influence a n d in piration they received from their dedicated professo r , a n uncommon number o f them have one o n to grea t a ch ie e me n t s . D r . O l s e n ouldo't be the one to tell you tha t, but many other people know it. Something about their relation­ ship with Dr. Olsen has inspired h i s c o l l ea gues a n d former students to organize a n uncom­ mon event at PLU, Robert C. Olsen Day. On that day, Oct. 2 4 , 1 2 former students will present sci­ entifi c p a p e r s reflecting t h e d egree o f excellence they have a chieved i n t h e i r c h o s e n profe s s i on s . Some are physicians, s o m e a re c o l l e g e professors, others are scientists. All received their " basic train­ ing" from a professor who has seen the PLU chemistry department grow from a tiny two­ man shop into a widely respected p r o f e s s i o n a l u n it w h i c h h a s produced thou sands o f h i g h l y qualified a n d talented s cience and service-oriented graduates . Now 68, three years past a nor­ m a l retirement age, Dr. Olsen still teaches practically full-time by his own desire as well as that of t h e u n i v e r s i t y . He e x p e c t s , however, to retire at the end of this year. " One hates to cut off an e n ­ j oyable profession , " h e says of retirement. A n a tive of M in nesota , D r . Olsen earned a bachelor's degree as well as a Ph.D. at Michigan State University in the '30's . He w o r k e d at G eneral Motors in Detroit for a decade, primarily as a process engineer, working on automobiles a nd later a variety of w a r p r o d u c t s : p a rts for s ub-

marines , a irpla nes , t a nks a nd guns. Not long a fter the w a r w a s over, Olsen chanced to read an article in the Lutheran Herald by J . C . K . Preus, then d irector of parish education for the Evangelical Luther a n Church. Preus spoke of the influx of post­ war students into the Lutheran colleges and the difficulty many of the schools were having in find­ ing qualified teachers. " There w a s the idea of servi ce , " O l s e n s a y s . H e i n ­ quired, and PLC President Seth E astvold "grabbed" him . Olsen's appointment suddenly d o u b l e d t h e n u m be r of P L U chemistry faculty. Dr. Anders Ramstad, who j oined the P L C faculty i n 1925, had been handling the chores alone. He and Olsen c o n t i n u e d a s a two - m a n department until 1959. Shortly after his arrival in 1947 t h e S ci e n c e B u i l d i n g ( l a t e r R a m stad Hall) was completed. With the new facilities the PLU science department w a s " o n a par" with other northwest a nd L u t h e r a n p r i v a te s ch oo l s , according to Olsen. " About 1960 we began to get equipment with federal grants a nd additional faculty , " Olsen said . "We feel we rank highly now . " The federal grants pro g r a m came a s a result o f the Sputnik influence and an American push to regain technological superiori­ ty over the Soviet Union. " We a ls o got a surge of students , " Olsen recalled. T h e v e t e r a n p ro f e s sor w a s reluctant, however, t o pick a ny particular generation of students over another. "We've had good students all the way along," he observed. He did mention certain outstanding individuals, several of whom will be on the Olsen Day program . Not one for unnecessary words, reflections on the whys of teach­ ing and his own personal style of teaching came with difficulty. " It ties in with the fun and the joy of teaching, " he said. "It has to do with the student relationship . . . personal satisfaction one has in seeing students going on ahead . . . the love of one's work . " It's hard for dedicated people to define dedication. It's much easier for the people whose lives they touch.

Every Frid ay afternoon t h i s spring y o u could find waterbugs , tadpole s , minnows and dolphins splashing joyfully in the Pacific Lutheran University swi m m i n g pool. The pool, however, w as not a temporary aquariu m . The catchy nam es simply indicate w a t e r performance levels for some SO local mentally and physicall y handicapped childern participat­ ing in a new swimming instruc­ tion program at PLU . The progr a m , a marvel o f logistic s , involved the coordina­ tion of seven agencie s , several dozen volunteers , twice as many childre n , t r a n s portation a n d a variety of incidentals. Overa ll c o o r d i n a t i o n w a s provided by Rick Hanika, special education consultant for Pierce County Intermediate School Dis­ t r i c t 1 1 1 . A b o u t h a l f of t h e youngsters come from the PAVE ( P re-Academic Vocati o n a l E du c a tio n ) S chool at McChord

Air Force Base. Tacoma ' s Birney a n d F r a n k l i n Pierce's Midland special education schools are also represen ted . To make the progra m effective, at least one volunteer helper was needed for every two children ; as often as possible they were assi g ned on a one - to-o ne b a s i s . T h e P L U U n I v ers ity Student Social Action Committee ( USSAC ) provided about half of the volunteers and funding for use of the pool. Additional volunteers came from Franklin Pierce . W a s h i n g t o n a n d B e thel High Schools. H a n d i c a p pe d c h i ldren h a ve participated i n weekly free s w i m s a t P L U for four years, according to Darell Provencher, USSAC coordinator. "This spring is the first time that a sufficient n um b e r of t r a in e d vo lunteers h a v e b e e n a v a il a b l e to m a k e swimming lessons feasible, " he said . P r o v i d i n g s ufficient physical activity for handicapped children is a problem, Hanika indicated . With time and facilities limited, he believes swimming is the best overall a c t i v i ty that c a n b e provided for them. " It's particularly good for handicapped children that don ' t have recreation progra ms a n d facilities available to the m , " he said . " Swimming gives the hand­ icapped child the opportunity to explore body movement a n d d e v e l o p m e n t through water buoyancy. The water also tends to relax a child, making it easier to work with and instruct them. " T h e f o u r p r o g r e s s classifications reward the most elementary water achievement. Si mply getti n g into the w a t e r , bobbing, holding breath, and get­ ting the face wet fulfill " wa t e r b u g " requirements . The "dolphin " classification, accord­ ing to Hanika, is the beginning swimming level. Y o ungsters that ea rned "dolphin" status completed in a S p e c i a l O l y m p i c s fo r regional handicapped c h i l d ren in April . The weekly swimming program continued through the end of the school year.

Long-Range Development A Priority Re -e x a min a t ion and further developme nt of a long-range pla n for Pacific Lutheran University will be one of the first priorities of PL U' s new president , D r . William O . Rieke. The P L U B o a rd of Re ge n t s form alized t h e project d uring their quarterly meeting Sept. 1 1 b y adopting a request that Dr. Rieke move ahead with the plan. Dr. Rieke , in a sta tement to the board indica t e d t h a t a l o n g ­ range deve lopment plan was one of his priori ies. B o a r d chairman Tho m a s Anderson underscored the need in an address to the board. He recalled that six years ago a deci­ s i o n w a s m a d e to curtail the building program " and to assess our role in the context of con­ solidation and re-evaluation. " " Perhaps we are now a t the point where this action should be re-a ssessed , " he added, calling attention to growing needs fo r teaching facilities, particularly in music and in the College of Arts and Sciences. " The aforementioned ne e d s a re n o t b a s e d o n growth for growth ' s sake , but are required for programs at this university to build on strengths we now have and for which we have an out­ s t a n d i n g r e c o r d o f performance, " Anderson said. Both D r . Rieke a n d M r . Anderson called attention to the need for renewed emphasis in the area of endowment funding. Such a move would " strengthen our f u t u r e f i n a n c i a l v i a b i l ity , " Anderson pointed out. PLU is housing more students than ever before this semester, according to a report presented to the student life committee of the board . As of Sept. 9, the number of students being housed was 1 ,759, up o v e r the prev i o u s r e c o r d occupancy o f 1 , 671 i n 1 971 a nd 1973.

r

His Majesty Olav v , King of Norway will b e h o n ored b y Pacific Lutheran University dur­ i n g a spec i a l c o n v o c a t i o n o n campus Monday, Oct. 20. A special unive r s i t y m e d a l struck for this occasion will be presented to His Majesty by Dr. William O. Rieke, PLU president during the program, which will b� held in Olson Auditorium at 10 : 45 a.m. The program also features the presentation of E gil Hovland ' s " Third Symphony " for recita­ tion, mixed choir and orchestra. It will be performed by the PL U Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Jerry Kracht, and the Choir of the West, under the direc­ tion of Maurice Skones . The symphony, by one of Nor­ w a y ' s l e a d i n g c o n t e m p o rary composers, is based on a text from the Biblical Book of Job and a poem by Norwegian poet Odd Medboe. The work was selected for perfo r m a n c e b e c a u s e Medboe ' s poetry is among His Majesty's favorites . Medboe and the m a n who in­ spired the poem, "Because You M ad e Me A M a n , " publisher Robert Atwood of A nchorage Alaska, will be honored guests at the convocation. T h e s i l v e r co mmemorative medal, designed by PLU artist­ in-res idence Thomas Torrens , recalls ancient Norwe g i a n history and heritage. A grouping of rune stones is placed in relief

o n a background which resembles the sails of a Viking Ship . H i s M aje sty will deliver his r.emarks following the presenta­ tion. A l s o partic ipating i n the program will be the chairman of the PLU Board of Regents the p r e s i d e n t o f t h e U n i v e �s i t y student body, and the two Uni­ versity ministers. T he entire 'convocation pro­ gram will be broadcast live over KPLU-FM, 8 8 . 5 mhz, a 1 0 , 000 watt campus radio station that reaches a listening audience in a six-county Western Washington area. Following the convocation an invitational luncheon for His Ma­ jesty will be held in the PLU Uni­ versity Center at 1 2 : 30 p . m . Olav V previously visited the PLU campus as Crown Prince of Norway in 1939.

Management Series Aids Local Firms For years management and p ro d u c t i o n personnel seeking continuing professional training h a v e h a d to t r a v e l to m aj o r population centers like New York ?r Lo� Angeles to gain upgrading I n skllls n e c e s s a r y i n t h e i r occupations . Such s pecialized training i s now available in the Puget Sound area as the result of a new pro­ g r a m offe red by t h e P a c ific Luthera n University School of B usiness Administration . According to Dr. Gundar King, d e a n of t h e s c h oo l , PLU has joined a consortium of some 45 colleges and universities which

s ponsor regional profe s s io n a l m a nagement seminars across the country . A m o n g the institutions participating are Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Purdue Vanderbilt and major state uni � v e r s i t i e s . The consortium or netw o r k , a c c o rd i n g to Ki'n g enables schools like PLU to offe � expertise, not onl y from their own faculties, but those of dozens of other great schools as well. Most of the seminars are con­ cerned wit h c o n t i n u i n g m a n ­ agement o r continuing engineer­ ing education. Among the topics o ff e r e d between now and N.ovember are production plan­ n m g , s cheduling and inventory control, profit and cash flow man­ a gement, marketing planning how to l i ve w i t h E q u a l E m � ployment Opportunity, financial accou n t i n g fo r n o n -fi n a n c i a l executives, and managerial skills for executive secreta r i e s a nd administrative assistants . "Colleges a nd universities " King said, " will be playing �n ever increasing role in providing services to the production com­ munit y . I t ' s inevitable i n o u r t e c h n o l o g ical society. What electrical energy was to the in­ dustrial society, mental energy is in this technological era . " " Profe ss ionals - managers and technicians - are today the largest part of the work force " he . c o n t inued . " These people' are placed in P?sitions where t hey m u s t c o n t m u e t o l e a r n . Uni­ versities are learning to play a more effective role in this process by offering serv i c e s t h a t a r e d i r e c t l y a p p l i c a bl e t o t h e s e needs. " The workshop series has been �esponsible for real productivity lmprovement across the country among personnel, not only at the executive and supervisory level but at m i d - m a n a g e m e nt a n d c l e r i c a l levels as well, he in­ dicated. "The series is concerned with both effectiveness - how to do the right things - and efficien­ cy how to do things right," King added. The seminars themselves are cost effective. "In the past this type of training was available only in the maj or p o p u l a t i o n centers like New York City and Los Angeles, " the PLU dean ex­ plained. j' Companies have gone to great exp e n s e to s e n d p ersonnel away for additional training. Because of the great c o s t , continuing education opportunities did not often filter down to the lower ranks and the smaller companies. " With training available local­ ly, a much broader segment of the working force can take advan­ tage of these opportunities, " he said . �

PLU is the only Puget Sound area institution participating in the nationwide semi n a r series . The University of Oregon is the only other Pacific N o r t h w e s t participant.

Deanna , her husband, Joe, and t h e i r t w o p r e -school chil dren have joined the still tiny but grow­ ing number of people who have forsaken the push-button space a g e w o r l d fo r a l i f e s t y l e reminiscent o f 19th c e nt u r y pioneers.

" I u s e d to h a t e c l e a n i n g bathrooms anyway and the view from our l a trine is fantastic, " Deanna remarked. 1 ndeed ,the view is fantastic and the property will enventually help the family become entirely self­ sufficient. The standing timber provided wood for the cabin and a hillside stream gives drinking and irrigation water. "We plan to raise chickens , ducks and a steer as soon as build­ ing and fe n c i n g c a n be c o m ­ p l e ted , " s h e c o n t i nued. " We found that goats are ideal in the interim period. "We haven't as yet attained the degree of self-sufficiency that we would like . Building the cabin itself was time consuming, but costs are only about $ 1 ,000, " she added. Labor was a no t h e r s t o r y , Deanna indicated. "We lived up here the first summer in a little 10-foot square cabin we built for practice. We spent the time cut­ ting logs, hauling them down the hill manually, peeling them and stacking them for seasoning. Dig­ ging latrines, clearing brush and chores occupied the rest of the time," she said. Both Deanna and Joe both still work part-time.

"Of course things are not al­ ways fun and games. The chain s a w b r e a k s d o w n , t h e j e ep refuses to run, the water pipes freeze, and the baby gets sick. On the mornings that I wake up, find that we ' ve used up all the cut firewood the night before, that the gas has run out so I can't even have my vital morning cup of coffee a nd that the baby goat won't eat, I get this fleeting and nostalgic memory of the easiness of the push-button world fro m which we fled . But then the kids are having a good time romping with the dog, impervious to the cold, the view out my k itchen w in d ow reveals a deer in the meadow, I've found the wrench with which to change the gas bot­ tle, and I decide I like our way of life .

This should continue to increase as over 80 per cent of our alum ni have graduated in the p a s t 25 y e a r s . Also, with the e s ta b l i s h m e n t of the A l u m n i Dep end ent Scholarships of $100 this year (an amount to be in­ c r e a s e d in f u t u r e y e a r s a s alumni giving increases ) , more alumni dependents will be attend­ i n g . At the r e c e p t i o n for t h e parents o f n e w students I was thrilled to talk with many parents who were amazed at all of the new buildings since they attended, the number of classmates they saw, and the faculty and s taff still dedicated to providing the type of education they had received.

most thrilling moments the in­ stant w h e n at last the college came into view. It was all lighted up and shone like a star in the night, and his heart pounded at the excitement of being enrolled as a student. Dr. Rieke ( class of '53) too, has return e d to his alma mater as president with a sense of dedica­ tion and enthusias m . What a thrill it is for Dr. Rieke to be reunited w i th former t e a c h ers, classmates, and students as they reminisce of former days and experiences together.

PLU Is An Alum Family Tradition With the a p proac h o f H o m e c o m i n g , w e a r e often reminded that a n education at Pacific Lutheran University is often a family tradition. One such tradition is illustrated on the accompanying family tree. Some of the relationships were called to our attention last year by Gloria ( Rummer) Pedersen, whose mother, husband and five children ha ve also attended PL U. With the help of V i c k i Rasmussen '28, she was able to compile a chart that illustrated the interrelationships of 35 alums over at least three generations. T h ere are likely b igger possible charts, and even this one is far from complete, but it does serve to illustrate the continuing loyalty to PLU apparent among many alumni families.

You s e e , Bill w a s a classmate, and personal friend of mine, both of us matriculating in 1949. Leadership is not something new to Bill. He has always been the epitome of brilliance with humility. I won ' t try to e n u m er a t e a l l of h i s a c co m plish m ents ; however, I would like to share that Bill is a warm, helpful friend. We both lived in the old Stuen house and many a night I found him a willing source of motivation and assistance in our college endeavors. Dr. Rieke will be attending our Alumni Board retreat at Holden Village late in September. At that time your board will be making long and short-range plans for the Alumni Association and the direc­ tion in which our efforts should be directed for the benefit of the University. We certainly entertain Alumni i nput to individual board members as to your wishes, at any time during the year. In addition , an expression of appreciation for the support in our New Directions is certainly in order. Tremendous ! I solicit your t h o u g h t s a n d prayers to give me the strength a nd w i s d o m to do t h e b e s t possible job for the Alumni and the University. Homecoming is October 25 .

For Judith Overs take, a strong interest coupled with a prove n ability in her line of work has resulted in her rise to manager of the Pendleton Welfare Office in Pendleton, Ore. Judith graduated from PLU in 1954 with a degree in liberal arts. Prior to her Pendleton job, she had worked with welfare for eight years in Vancouver, Wash . , 10 years in a welfare office in Port­ land, and a couple years in Baker, Ore. It was in Baker that she got her first taste of management. Her current job is similar to the Baker one but has three times the num­ ber of staff. She now oversees 30 employees. Her primary duty is to make sure the public welfare funds are spent the b e s t w a y possible. Important abilities in her job are patience, the ability to keep cool under pre s s u r e , a n d t h e w i l l i n g n e s s to accept responsibility for the decisions of others. Objective decisions must be made in order to determine w h i c h c l i e n t s c a n be helped . According to Judith , a welfare manager must be open minded, fair, and realize the limitations of the agency. " I ' m aware of the need of social s ervices by those who receive welfare, and the difficulty of ade­ quately providing these, " Judith said. This is because of a lack of s taff in the state welfare and ,other agencies, she explained, as well as the uncoordinated way in which private groups and t h e p u b l i c a g e n c i e s exc hange in­ formation on what is available. "This is a problem that is con­ stantly being improved upo n , " she said. It is this conscientiousness in working out problems as well as t a k i n g p r e c a u t i o n s to a v o i d troubles that make a good man­ ager. Judith keeps abreast of all changes in welfare policies and must understand them to clearly express the complex rules to her staff and community. She opens herself to questions from her assistant and service w o r k e r s , and her experience comes in handy when she advises her employees on how to handle certain p roble m s . Judith a l s o

Judith Overs take' reviews cases at random to check t h a t p ro ce d u r e s a r e b e i n g followed properly. Being a w o m a n offe r e d n o problem t o Judith i n rising to her position. She feels women in the agency have a good opportunity to advance to more responsible jobs. In fact, social work has been dominated by women since tradi­ tionally the pay has been low. O nl y since the in cre a s e i n salaries have men started to work in welfare.

Law Affects Transcript Requests The F a m i ly E d u c a t i o n a l Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 requires that a written request be p r e s e n t e d to s e n d or release transcripts for current students and alumni. Therefore, the law prohibits the Registrar' S Office from hon­ oring telephone requests. It also prevents the Registrar's Office from honoring requests made on b e ha l f of a person, such as a parental request on behalf of a son or daughter. The Regi s t r a r a s k s t h a t p e r s o n s p l a n a h e a d t o a v oid missing a deadline and make all requests for transcripts in writ­ ing either by letter or in person.

Abe Return Keys Lute Soccer Hopes Dave Asher makes his debut as PLU soccer coach with remnants of the squad which finished 2�-2 i n t h e N o r th w e s t C o l l e g i a t e Soccer League last y e a r , 6-6-2 overall. The inheritance includ e s a t least one jewel, senior forward Abraham Abe. Abe, twice a sec­ ond team pick on the prestigous All Farwest squad, was an all­ le ague selection last year. The gifted Ugandan scored 13 goals, half the team 's output, in 1974. Sophomore John Knox com­ b i n e s s k i l l a nd experience at fullback. Center halfback G i n o H o a g , a Washington State Uni­ versity transfer, is considered the top new player. Freshman goal keeper Mark Leeper was all-city in Sacramento while center for­ ward Dale Pennington is another promising newcomer. A s he r , who succeeds Paul Marcello as Lute boot bass, has wide experience in the kick sport. Presently a counselor at Yelm Junior High School, Asher played c o l l e g i a t e ly at We stern Washi ngton and Biola. A 1 9 7 1 WWSC graduate, Dave played in England and Australia and was .a candidate for the U.S. OlympIC squad in 1970.

Distaff Teams Boost WCIC Ranks In 1975 Pacific Lutheran, along with Puget Sound and Portland U . , joins the Women's Conference of Independent Colle ges this fall, boost i n g l e a g ue m e m b e r s h i p from five t o ei ght schools and league titles will be up for grabs in field hockey and volleyball. Lute stickers, 9-9-1 last season, have backed the nucleus of the 1974 squad. Senior Dianne Quast dominates the action on offense for PLU and is considered the b e s t woodworker ever at Lutevill e . Sue Jac k s o n , S a l l y Holmes, and Sue Charles are the other front-line players for coach Sara Officer. It will be a tall order for Lute volleyball spikers, whose ranks were thinned by graduation, to climb to the top of the pack in Kathy Hemion ' s first year a s coach. PLU, sixth in the twelve team Northwest Collegiate Women's A " net Sports Associat ion tourney, has Judy Blum, Julie Goodwin, and Diane Lang back from last year. I I

B y J im Ki tt i l sb y After a weekend retreat which bridged the gap b e t w e e n t h e handshak i n g and h e a d ba nging ceremonies, 76 Pacific Lutheran gridders armed themselves with pads - note and protective Sept. 1 to learn the inner workings of a st untin g multiple alignment defense and veer option offense. For y lettermen are back, in­ cluding 21 seniors, as the Lutes, 8-1 and nationally seventh r nked in 1974 , prepare for the Oct . 4 Northwest Confe rence o p e n e r with Whitworth. Coach Frosty Westel'ing and his Lute lieu tenants, Joe Broeker. Paul Roseth and Ed Anderso n , are confident that a routine re­ fueling will put the hum back in the defens ive machine. Ten of 11 regulars are in camp, but a fre­ quent starter, senior tackle Ho­ ward Johns on, is on the mend from a neck injury and will sit out the season. Putting the thrust back into the offense will require more time and tu n i n g . Quarte rback Rick Finseth, along wi h starting ends Mark Clinton and Dave Cornell, were graduated, while guard Jim Crary opted to study in Norway this fall. T e c h n i c a ll y speaking, PLU will move the ball operating out of t h e mUltiple spl it-wing T , but the two l e a d i n g q u a r t e r b a c k candidates, Craig Dahl and Larry Beyer, are scramblers and their skills are suited to the veer op­ tion. The horses are there and the Lutes should do more running than in 1974, according to Wes­ tering. Dahl ( Albert Lea, Minn. ) , a 6-3, 202 senior, is a 4 . 7 runner in the 4O-yard dash, while Beyer ( Menlo Park , C a l if. ) , a 185-pound sophomore is not averse to pack­ ing the ball. All-league running back Doug W i l s o n ( Ta c o m a - B ethel ) , 1 66 , senior, is one of three swifties clocked at 4.5 in the opening day 4O-yard time trials. Sopho more E rik Strenge (Tacoma-Wilson), 185, and j unior Jon Horner ( Grandview ) , 195, are the other quick steppers. Junior Prentis Johnson ( Tacoma-Stadium ) , 160, moves with dispatch while f u l l b a c k G a ry Tortorello (Vancouver-Hudson's Bay ) , 200 senior, hits the holes quickly and with power. Senior offensive tackle Craig Fouhy ( Des Moines-Mt. Rainier ) , 240, w a s one of seven Lutes to claim the triple crown of area grid honors last year - All-NWC, All-NAIA District 1 , and Little A l l - Northwe st. A co-captain along with Doug Wilson, Larry Green, Steve Ridgway, and Mike

White ( QunitLUTElets ) , Fouhy rattled the barbells in the opening day tes t s , b e n c h p r e s s i n g h i s weight thirteen times in succes­ sion. Other interior trenchermen on the Lute line include a senio r i l � r s ( S e a tt e­ g ua rd Ron Glacier) , 230, Jumor guard Jlm Molzhon ( Kent-Merid ian ) , 205, Kurt Now adnick ( Snohomish ) . 1 8 5 senior center, a n d Les Bennett ( Tacoma-Mt. Tahoma ) , 225 junior center, out last year with a knee injury. R e c e i v ers have l imited experience but are given the edge in s p e e d ove r the 19 74 c orps . Chuck McKinny ( Klamath Falls, Ore . ) , 1 73 senior, is a question mark because of a summer leg inj u ry . Al B e ssette ( Ta comaFranklin Pierce ) . 180 junior, is a likely starter. while junior transfer Howard Lutton ( ffighline 'C), 190, has all the tools and will see action. A l l-Everything tackle Larry G re e n ( T a c o m a -C u r t i s ) , 2 3 0 senior i s the tra ffic control chief of the efensive front four. Junior Mark Brandt ( Minot, N. D . ), 20S . and senior Jeff Bedingfield ( Coos Bay, Ore . ) , 185, are in solid at the end slots. Bob France ( Federal Way ) , 235 senior, adds muscle at the other tackle post. Experience is also on display at linebacker. Jun io r Steve Ridgway (Puyallup) , 225, may be the b e s t m i d d l e p a t r o l l e r in t h e l e a g u e . A lo n g s i d e are D a n Johnson ( Fort Vancou ver ) , 1 95 senior, and Ken Flajole (Seattle Prep ) , 200 senior. Four veterans and two standbys give stability to the Lute sec­ ondary. Returning cornerbacks are senior Jim Walker ( Reedsport, Ore . ) , 175, and senior B r ad S c h m i d t ( A l b e r t L e a , M i n n . ) , 180 . Deep backs Ron Brown ( Milton-Freewater, Ore. ) 1 7 5 , a n d M i k e W h i t e ( K e n t­ Meridian ) , 170, both seniors, get help from Steve Irion (Hoquiam ) , 195 sophomore, and Walt Zeiger ( Puyallup-Rogers ) , 165 senior. The Lute kicking game will be entrusted to new feet. Sophomore Du a n e F r o m h a r t ( T a c o m a ­ Curti s ) , out last year with an in­ j ury, is a punter as is defensive tackle Larry Green. Mike Maiuri ( Taco ma-Franklin P i e r c e ) , a s o p h o m o r e , is i n line for the kic koff, f i e l d g o a l , a n d P A T duties.

Lutes Defeat t Alums 23-0 In Opener After giving the varsity Lutes a legitimate scare last year, rolling to a 19-0 lead before losing 36-19 the 1975 Alumni football squa d fell prey to a 23-0 Varsity shutout Sept. 13 in the annu al Varsity­ Alumni game. Th. Lute s un eiled a pote nt rushmg attack, led by junior Jon H o r ne r , w h o s c a m p e r e d 1 1 3 yards in only five carries . They picked up 275 yard s on the ground • during the game, even tbough the .. Alumni controlled the ball a lmost "- the entire final quarter. The Varsity got on the board in the fir t quarter on a four-yard pass from Craig Dahl to Chuck McKinny. T n the second quarter Dahl slid in from the five to glve the Lutes a 1 4-0 halftime lead. Scoring was over by the end of t h e third quarter after Alumni booter Len H i gg i ns w a s smothered in the end zone for a safety and Horner raced in for a touchdown fro m 47 yards out. Horne r ' s longest run, however was a non-scoring 49-yarder i Ii e ourth uar er. In what could possibly threaten some Guines record, the Al umni contro�led the ball for 19 straight play m the fourth quarter with­ out scoring. One serie alone t ok nearly 10 minutes to complete . The A l u m m workhorse was ru n ni n g ba c k D ave Anderson who played l inebacker for th� L u t e s l a st y e a r . T h e a l u m n i a ttack w a s h ampered by Rick Finseth 's sore arm, even though they logged 1 17 yards on 29 aerial attempts. They were held to -16 ya rd s ru shing by a tight Lute defense.

PLU Offers Swimming To Alumni A year-around Alumni swim­ ming package for the individual husband and wife, or family ha � been instituted by PLU pool man­ ager Gary Hafer. The progra m , effec t i v e i m ­ m e d i a t e ly , w i l l e n a b l e P L U alums to purchase swim tags for special pool usage seven days a week during the school year. Tags, to be sewn on the swim suits, are priced at $10 for an in­ dividual, $20 husband and wife a nd $ 3 0 f a m i l y . V a l i d f r o � September 1975 through August 1976, the tags can be purchased at the PLU Pool office weekdays be­ tween 2 : 30 and 6 : 30 p . m . Alums taking advantage o f the m can swim during public

swim hours , als o the faculty and staff swimming period. In addi­ tion, a l u m s can join in the lap swimming hour which is limited to college age and above. Because the special a l u m n i swim schedule will change from semester to semester, further altered in the summer and closed during semester break and holi­ day periods , interested alums are encouraged to pick up a detailed schedule at the PLU Pool office.

Lute Club Backs P U Athletics

Cross Co .ntry Squad Takes Title Hopes On The Road No one realized how seriously Jon T h i e m a n ' s Lute cross country runners took their " roa d " work until this season, with only one home appearance dotting the PLU schedule. Far from hiding out, though, to avoid local scrutiny, the Lutes are coming off their best season ever and have a talented squad returning intact. PL U f i n ished second in the No�t�west Conference last year, traIhng league leader Lewis & Clark by only four points. Leading the pack is Gordon Bowman, who wa s fifth in the NWC five-mile chase last year. Bowman, a junior , is the PL U track record holder in the three­ mile. Sophomore Dan Clark is the mile standard bearer at 4 : 18 . 1 . S�nior Kevin K n a p p p l a c e d e I ghth a t the lea g ue m ee t , classmate Paul Ueun en tenth.

Advent a a c h u r ch s easo n grew from a mixture of t i me and w a iti n g , darkness a n d b ght, fear an d promIse. Taki n g fear of the d ark as a s y m bol of all our fea rs , Advent brin gs these to the s u r fac e , a n d confron t s us with th e m. And j u st as Advent l ov es the d arkness because of the l i ght , and finds in the darkness not only f e a r b u t the source of h u m a n anticipation a n d patience, s o we find in fear-confronted, our Ad ­ vent waiti n g , a c c e s s to the prom ise. The mood of Advent is in t h i s m i ngling of fear and hope in d a l' k n e s s w h i l e w a i t i n g f o r prom ised l i ght . John, the author of our gospel, sees the worl d gripped i n a dark­ nes s , a numbness of feeling a nd t h o u g ht . He sees the world held in a tw i l i g b t of indecision and confu ­ sion. I n such a ser ti n g , h e proclaims and holds up Jesus the Christ, Jesus the Light, Jesus the Truth. We migh t ask how appropriat Joh n ' s i m a ges and visions are : the d a rkn es s , the numbness, the c o n f us ion . Can w e a g ree w i t h Joh n and sti ll con t i nu e to em brace the world, to 10 e the wo rld , to identify ourselves com­ ple te y w i t h the joy a n d sorrow of this ea r th and its people ? That is John ' s point John doe both : He speaks of the darkness of the world. but then without a bre a k in his thought he s a y s i t is the world that God s I ved th a t He ga e H i s on ly begotten Son for it . Wha t John does not a ll o w is an i nfl a tion , a nothe r recession or de­ pression. We live i n th a t kind of confusion. According to J oh n . the pres " e n ce of l i gh , the p re s e nce o f J e s u s is a d is t u rb ing presence to those who deal with t he confusion by sh uttlng hemselves off from it, to tho s e who deal with our con­ fusing t i m e s by be co m i n g more d o g mati c and m ore r i g id , who prefer safety ove r ris k . He raises q uestions. He calls into questlon t h e w a y we a r e m a k i n g o u r

choi ces and decisions . To those of u s wh o t h ink we h a v e i t a lt o g e t her , l i ke the Ph ar i se es m our te xt , Jesus says, " F or j ud g · ment I c a m e into this world, that tho e who do not s ee may s e e , and that those who see may become bl i nd . " Tesus says, in our next text , " I a m the l ight of t he world ; he who follow me will not walk in dark­ ness . but w1l1 have the l i ght of life . " But t h e habitual preference of the w or l d is for d ar k ne s s , t ha t e asy a c c ept an ce of the status quo. What he dop.s not s up-port i s a noncritica l attitude toward o u r l i fe and .e decisions and powers that me v us ; he does not allow the view that nothin g ls at stake in th wa v m wh i c h we order our lives o r in t he w y we relat to national powers , th e p e o p l e around us or for that matter, the e nvi ron m e n t i n w h i c h we l i ve . John presents the world gripped in a dar k n e s s , 1 0 a n u m b i n g blackness of indecision and con­ fusion. He descrl es not only his world b ut ours as well. A world i n whic h power feeds arrogance , A world .in w h ich n01 only is double talk possible, but there is also the pos i b i l ity of making o ursel ve s think that we u n d e rs t a n d he doubl� tall< . A world in which can­ fusion i a natural extension of the d y ' s c o m m i t m e n t s and decision ·. O n e c a l l s a n a c t p e rj u r y , an ot her says it's pa tr i o tis m . One call s a pe rson a Critic : a no ther calls h i m an enemy or t r a i t o r . O n e labels our econo m i c s it u ation i nf l a tio n , anot h e r r e c e s s i o n or d e p re s s i o n . We live in that kind of confusion, A c c o r d i n g t o Joh n , t he presence of light, the presence of Jesus is a d is t u rb i n g p rese nce to t h os e who deal with the confusion by shutting them selves off from It , to tho s e w 0 deal with our con­ fusing t i m e s b y be comin g m o r e ogmatic and more r i g i d , who prefer sa fety over risk. He rais es questions He calls into question t h e w a y we a r e m a k i n g o u r choices and dec isions . To t ho s e of u s w h o t hin k we ha ve i t alt ogether , like the Pharisees in o u r t e x t , J e s u s s a y s , " Fo r j ud gme nt I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and t h a t t h o se w h o s e e m a y be come blind " Jesus says , in our ( e xt , " 1 a m t h e l i g h t o f t h e world ; he who fo l l o w s m e w i l l n o t w a l k i n darkness, but will h a ve the l i g h t of I de . " B u t t h e h a b i t u a l p reference of t h e w o r l d i s for d a rkness. T h a t lS John 's claim. What exactJy does that m ea n ? I t i s a s y m b ol , a s y m bol t h a t s u g ge s t s confu s i on , lack of identity, fe a r of {'e l a ti ng t o t h e worl d and to others , fea r of being seen for who we are. We know the S) m pt om s of tha t darkness . We know it In our frantic s ea r c h for safety and security - we know iUn t h e fact that nur j udgments about

ourselves bounce between saying we don't count at all to a kind of self-eval uation that borders on egomania. We know it in the con­ fusion of our morals and values . We are gripped by the darkness. It is a kind of darkness and confu­ sion whereby it becomes possible to live in a world wherein eighty percent of the people face lives of hunger and ho elessness and it is pos sible for the other twenty per­ cent t r ally co nvince themse lves that the main crisis of the day is a rise in taxes , or the high co t of beef or the reduction in our fue s up p ly. That is the darkness . A nd the s y m ptom of this kin d of darkne ss is living our lives on the basis of fear, fear of s e e i n g ours elves and of letting others see us. Our huma nity is not denied, gone, dried up, or miss­ pent. We a re not dead but alive. O u r need to relate to others is more than a p p a re n t . B u t o u r humanity i s choked b y the dark­ nes s , by the safety that we prefer o v e r t a k i n g a r i s k to s h o w ourselves to another. To be open to another might show a sign of weakness in our character which is close to taboo in our society. But could we be more human and more humane ? Could we be more responsi ble to one anothe r ? Could w e be more open ? And w e coul nswer y e s , we could, if we c o u l d to t a l l y c o n c e a l o u r i d e n t i ties , a n d i f we cou l d b e assured that there are n o future con sequences or obligations, and if we could act in total darkness. ut th at is j u s t a n o t h e r c o n ­ tradiction. That is like saying, we coul risk more if we ould be more safe ; we could be more re­ sponsive if we did n ' t have to be r e s p o n ible , or we c o u l d love more today if we didn't have to love tomorrow That is ou r dark­ ness . J o hn peaks t o u s a gain . He does not lead us to rejection of the world, but to a new em bracing and a new a ffirmati o n of t h e world. The true light has come into the world and the darkness has not overcome it. We a re D s pe a k i n g a b o u t s o m e p o w e r u n r e ted t o the world as we know it We are not talking about some stranger who comes into ur m ids so that we m a y gawk a n d wonder at how different he is. No, Je us comes, and He knows us for He shares our lot. For He was born of a woman and as suc h He could not escape hunger nor thirst, neither lon el iness nor dis a p point men t, nei ther suffering nor death. J- e c a m e a s a l ittle c h ild in Bethlehem and man could turn him away from the inn . Only God could be so poor , only God could reveal his strength in the paradox of such weakness and his maj esty in his stepping into our darkness. That is what Advent is all about ; retracing the journey that Jesus took into our darknes s ; even into

the darkest spot of all, into death, that He might show us the way out of darkness and into the light of life . We are not anticipating some g u r u who i n v i t e s us i n to th e po s s i b i lity o f tra n s c e n d i n g o r for gettin g our humanness. No , quite the oppo ite. He leads s i nto t his l i fe through His p a r ti c i p a t i o n i n e v e r y d a r k corner that we struggle throu gh. There He plants his cross as a beacon of promise and hope. For in God ' s weakness, shown in the c r o s s , the presence of evil and darkness in our world no longer go u n c h a l l e n g e d . For God has placed a cross in the midst of the p o w e r of e v i l , a n d t h e r e H e suffers with u s . I t i s there H e joins us in the midst of our own suffer­ ing, loneliness and darkness a nd holds out to us the same promise that He received - that somehow God would bring life out of death, l i ght out of d a r k ne s s . J o h n ' s word is clea r. Jesus is the light and the darkness will not over­ come it. St. Paul says , "For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord ; walk as children of light . " To be a child of light is to have faith that in Jesus our dark­ n e s s has been ex posed and its power has been broken. It is the con viction t h a t our life by our baptism is inseparably tied with His. His life caBs us into our own, for He has revealed to us what it m e a n s t o be fully h u m a n . To affirm the dignity and integrity of every person and to reach out and give of ourselves to others. T o l ive in His l i gh t is to celebrate life a s a gift from God to b enjoyed a n d sha red, rather t h a n s o m e t h i n g that h a s b e e n earned or y e t to b e earned . To live in His light is to forgive and com mend and to make space in our lives for beauty , to love i n the face of hate, hop e in the midst of des pa i r and t o s h a r e fa i t h where there i s only fear and mis­ trust. Some have not found that the shame and sufferin g of their own c r o s s e s h a ve been reduced by Hi ' . It is still no picnic to bear a child in p verty or to go to bed h n g r y . B u t because we re­ discover the meaning o f our lives in the revealing light of Jesus, we a n dare to believe, even w en things are at their worst, that God ha set His kingdom in reaU ty that the l ight has come and dark­ ness will not overcome i . We c a n c l o s e o u r e y e s t o heavenly maj esty , we can defy laws and threats of puni. hment a n d death but how can we clos ur hearts t a child who eveal to us our God in a voice that c a l ls s out o f darkness ; in a voice that we t h o u g ht m i g t h full o f ep roa c h r e m i n d i n g s of o u r

f a i l u res but in ste ad i s a n u n ­ shake a b l e word of ac e p t a n c e nd love . A voi c that we t hou gh t might be a n other r e m i n d e r of how we don ' t measure up, but in­ stead we hear a word of forgwenes s ? W h e n we o b s e r v e t h a t h e depth of huma i ty are opene up, ot by trial and judgment but by a word of f rgiveness, by a c h i l d w h o was g ive n into o u r possession, then w e may well re­ flect upon this in our hearts and ask ourselves if the gospel is not right after all in saying that only God could be so human ? If this is true, that God is with us in weaknes s, the weakness of a b a b y in a m a n g e r , then what weakness can separate us from Him ? If the light of His presence is found in these places where our journey seems most dark, what suffering can the n separate u s from Him ? Jesus says , " I am the light of the world , He who follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life . " , This is His promise - this is our hope . Advent invites us to con­ front our fears with this promise. A d v e n t in i t s s t o ry and song doesn't say there is nothing to be afraid of, for there is, but Advent peaks a p omise to our fears ; the p re s e n t o r d e r w i l l be turned a round j ust as the sun will turn around in the heavens . The only human response to such a promise is to celebrate the birth of Ma r y ' s child, God of God , light of light . Can we look upon this l i g ht ? " We have beheld H i s glory , " answered the evangelist, "glory a s of the o nl y son of the fa ther, full of grace and truth. "

Rev. James Beckman is one of two universi­ ty ministers at PLU. He has ser ed at the university for I h ree years.

To most Lutherans in America, cassock and s rp lic e , t oget h e r with stole, a r e the common wor­ ship garb of their pastors . Such usage of the " black and white," though, is relat ivel y new in the history of the Church, ating only from the Middle Ages in northern E u rope . Ve t m e n ts m o re n c i e n t l y appomt d for pastors and other ministers are a g ai n f i n i n g acceptance throughout the West­ ern Church - Roman Catholic, A n g l i c a n , L u t h e r a n , a nd R e ­ formed. This phenomenon i part of a broad movement to renew and revitalize Christian ministry a nd mission for our times. E s s e n t i a l t o t h e re n e w a l process has been the study of wor­ shi p, the very heart of Christian life , to discover its roots and de­ velopment in Scripture and early Christian practice s . One I"U cial insight ha been that liturgy is the C h u r ch ' s perennial setting for Word and Sacrament, her chosen s tructure for corpora e proclamation and celebration of the Gospel From this has come a fresh appre iati n f r the " orna­ m ents " of worship, artistic work that ac e n t a n d e n h a n c e o u r gatherin gs. Among these are the historic vestment for liturgy. I the very y ung Church , a U worshippe r s wore c u s t o m a r y

R o m a n s t r e e t c l o th e s . Wh e n styles began to change in abo t the fifth c e n t u ry A. D . , p stars and other worship leaders c o n­ tinued to use the more fa m iliar, tradi tional garments, until these lathes emerged as exclusively J"turgical vestments. The b a s i l o n g - s leeved , flo r­ r o b e is length whi te tunic alled an alb. Som times gathered at the waist with a rope or s ash, it was the d a i l y d re s s of c l a sical Rome. The white h od o r scarf w o r n around the neck is the a mice. Alb and a mice a e appropriate for all m i n i s t e r s - p a s t a !!" , a co l yte , lec tor, and s on. The seasonally­ c o l o re d s t oIc , h u n g o ve r the p a s t o r ' s s ho u l d e r s , h a s a n obscure origin ut may have been a Roman ensign of rank or office. A m o re s r i k i n g v e s t m e n t , proba b l y u n fa m i l i a r t o m o s t L u t h e ra n s , is h e c h a suble, a poncho-l ike garment draped over a l b a n d s ole to designate the pastor as the one who presides at t h e l i t ur g y . It derives from a

Ro m an ou ter-c l o a k a n d is the same color as the stole . An a ssist­ ing minister, when functioning as a deacon, may don over the alb a dalmatic , a broad-sleeved short t u n i c t he s a m e c o l o r as t h e chasuble . These are the " Mass ve tments " known to Luther and endorsed by him in his liturgical reforms . Ve tments are not m e a n t to exalt their wearers, bu t re worn by the m ·niste r. n behalf of the w o rsh i p pi n g com munity. When the Lord 's Table is spread for the Communion feast, God 's people put on their festal raiment. Vest­ m e n t s h e l p t o e t a t o n e of celebration for God 's good gift of Himself in His Word, and i n bread and wine . They express continui­ ty and solidarity with generations of Christians that have used these same vestments . Moreover, they contribute beauty to the worship s p a c e , m u c h as b a n n e r s a n d p a r a m e n t s are often m a de by members of a congregation, so too may vestments. Students in the congregation a t P a c i f i c L u t h e ra n U n i ve r s i t y , for i n­ stance, have explored th is possibility with l audable results. At P. L . U. , Holy Communion is c e l e b r a t e d e a ch S u n d ay , a n d

m a n y l e s s e r fe s t i v a l s o f t h e Church Year are also obser ed. One response to this "d iligent use of the Means of Grace " has been a number of student-m ade vest­ ments. Talents for sewing, weav­ ing, emb roider y, even m acra me, together with a basic understandin g o f vestment d e ­ sign, have been turned to the fash­ ioni n g of variou fa br i c s i n t o stoles, chasu les, a nd dalmatics . These labors f love are pe rsonal l y m e a n i n gful fo r the makers, and a joyfu l gift to the corporate bod y. When v estm ents arise from t h e co n gr e ga t i o n , t h e y affirm that the people of God working toge t h e r , a n d n o t t h e p a s t o r a l o n e , create good liturgy. The historic garments of worship are th us an invaluable treasure in our Church heritage, and worthy of revival.

By Randy Bohannon

A friend of mine, Frank, was quite u p set the o t h e r d a y and could n ' t put his finger on why. His son Paul was going away to col­ lege in a few days . Strangely, his son's asking for a digital clock as a going away present ( " all the other k i d s were getting o n e" ) kept p o k i n g into his conscious­ ness - a silly thing considering the significance of the son leaving home . He recalled his son' s first breath, his first step, his first day of school and so on. The things they were going to do came up, too . Over the past two months, he and his son had talked about all kinds of things . They went to a jeweler a nd looked a t s o m e clocks. In the conversations the son talked about skiing, about his m o torcycle and about his girl (who was "all right for now" . ) " W a t e r g a t e ? O h y e h , I r e­ member vaguely . N o , I d o n ' t know what I want to do . Can 't picture myself as a nything. Dad, what are you doing to clean up the environment ? You ' re responsible for the mess we have . " Frank said they a lways talked p a s t each othe r . " Wh a t a bout law ? or medicine ? A career must consider retirement. Susan might not like the odd hours of the hos pi­ tal. What plans do the two of you ha ve ? Where do you want to be 25 years from now ? " I know what bothers me ! " he blurted . " A digital clock gives the exact time at a precise moment. It characterizes the present. My son is no d iffe rent fro m other teenagers and a lot of other peo­ ple up and down the block . It's not j u s t k i d s . I n s t a n t gra tification sells. McDonald ' s golden arches and the Colonel's twang. Clean up the rivers and the air. Give the Indians back their land. Overhaul the political system. Right now ! Handle first class mail the same as air mail. 'We ' ll loan you your tax refund now . ' When I listen to the words a nd music of the ' Now Generation' I think I hear a plain­ tive cry for instant reform. What kind of survival kit is a picture of j ust the present ? " T h a t c l o c k doesn ' t show where the hands have been. We shouldn't bow to the past or be slaves to tradition : ' Back to the basics. When I was a kid . . . ' But a glimpse of where the hands have been gives a ense of proportion in looking at now. The bands bave momentum and mom entum has direction . To know who we are and to feei W t: bel�:1g '/'.' e !!! !.!st

know where we are and how we g ot here . We m u s t remembe r Watergate and Teapot Dome. We m u s t u n d e r stand the source of democratic tradition to feel it's our tradition. Show me the roots of and reasons for today ' s con­ formity so I may better under­ stand why I do what 1 do. Show me the prophesy of art. Help us in the search for the useful past. "Neither does that digital clock show where the hands are going . We must look ahead to have hope. Hope demands a sense of time ; a c o n f i d e nce in o ne ' s a b i l i t y to change things in the future. It creates an anxious anticipation of the improvements to come. We c a n ' t let the "Future" be " S hocked" out of us. No future, no purpose. "I hope Paul and his friends w i l l r ea l ize their potenti a l as agents of renewal i n t h e i r genera tion. I hope they learn to cherish the best of the past a nd build a future which transcends the present . " I n looking a t colleges, Paul a nd Frank found an exciting eXperl­ ment at PLU sponsored by the Nation a l E n d o w m e n t f o r t h e Humanities. It i s called the In­ tegrated Studies Program. As a starter two interdisciplinary se­ quences are being offered. One is "Seasons of Renewal" consisting of "The Recurrence of Hope in American Creative and Philosophical Thought" a n d " The E me rging American Character. " The other i s " Human Responsibility " consist­ i n g of " D eveloping M a n " and "The Burden of Responsibility 20th Century Europe . " This a nd several other things going on con­ vinced Paul PLU w a s h i s best choice. I think it's a great place for him to develop his skills to meet the future. "PLU seems like a big clock with a big face. Its hands have l ot s of m o m e n tum . At the uni­ versity Paul will develop a sense of, but not be bound by, the useful pas t ; he can find out who he is as he rushes toward who he is to be . "

I do suppose that it is as important o manifest behaviorally as much hope about smaller matters as we should about larger i s s u e s l e s s dire c t l y c o n t i n ge n t o n o u r a c ­ t lOns . No b r o a d a rticulation of hope could ignore either one. But i n this writing I will do what is typical for me - explain my long­ range hope about future human r e a c t i o n s to s o m e o m i no u s­ e ve l o p ­ oo k i n g i m m e i t e ments . I choose three current develop­ m ents in m ed ic a l c a re and technology which frighten many people : the m edical malpractice i ns u r a nc e cris i s , the g r o w i g practice of allowing defective in­ Pants and terminally ill adults to d i e b y n o t p r o v i d I n g l i f e­ s u sta i n i ng treat m ent , a n d t h e possibility o f choosing t h e s e x o f our ch i ld r e n .

The larger p int of my comments IS t h a t w e c a n s e e beneficial de­ velopments underneath ominou looking events, not that particu­ lar positions are right or wrong in these matters. , •

The numbers a nd requested da mages of medical m a l practice suits have increased significantly m the last several years, causing malpractice insurance rates ( and consequ e n tl y m e d i c a l fee s ) Lo rIse. It is easy to attribute much of this to g reedy lawyers pushing their clie nts to p re s s s u i t s and raise requested damages i n order to increase their own take . I t i s also easy LO lament the fact that doctors have seemingly lost the

trust of their patients, who are no w w i l l i n g to u s e a n y u n fortunate turn of events in their health after treatment as an occa­ s i o n to t r y to r e a p monetary benefits. It i s also alleged that the increase in s uits is a result of in­ creased resp'Jnsibility for health care tha t our SOCIety has a:,;;umed in recent decades , a s o c i a l re­ sponsibility which citizens have misinterpreted as giving them a right to health or a right to be cured, instead of a right to re­ ceive health care. This d e m and for health a n d cure i s perhaps a function o f an overly t e c h n ol o g i c a l v i e w o f m e d i c i n e : somethi n g major wrong with u s must be curable b y m edicine - i f not right now i n our present state of the art, then in the future. The blame for illness is then indirectly placed on medical s cience, a blame for its failure to discover cures. This breakdown o f h u m i l ity a bout human medicine m a y h a v e b e e n e n ­ c o u r a g e d by t h e s t a tus of superhuman, almost magical au­ th rity which me d ical per onnel assu med in relation to patients. T h a t a s s um p tion of a uthority eroded the precious little patient r e s p o n s i b i l i ty for health maintenance which was present in the a l re a d y p sy c h o logicaily th reatening context of bodily ill­ nes s . This has now come back to ha unt its origina l possessors in the form of m alpractice suits . U ndou bte d l y t h e r e i s s o m e truth i n all these allegations but they are not the e nd of the matter. So me malpractice suits focus on known but statistically unlikely c o m p l ica tio ns tha t do de v elop fr o m a g i v e n t r e a t m e n t in a pa rticular c a s e In stead of re­ flect i n g pat i e n t d e m a n d t h a t m edicine d o more, som e suits re­ flect patient anger that doctors d i d too m u c h - they p u r ued witbout patient consent a treat­ ment which u nexpectedly caused great complications . Wittingly or unwittingly. patients in such suits are i nsisting that potential com­ plications, even when highly im ­ probable , be bro u g h t t o t h e i l' a t r e D t i o n b e f o r e a p a rti c ul a r t re a t m e n t i s c o m m enced . " In­ formed consent " is beginning to be taken seriously as a legal and c: wil: a 1 j i m l l a tion on any inva ­ sion of a perso n ' s own body If 1 a m to c o n s e n t informedl y to a treatme n t , I not o n l y h a v e t o know its poten t ial beneflts and its statistically obvious risks ; I must also know its very low-probability risks. Those latter risks, after all , may be risks of what the patient would regard as grave inj ury. Am I willing to take a five per cent risk oi needing a second operation

to remove my spleen and a one per cent risk of needing one half of my stomach removed in order to get my intractable peptic ulcer removed by a first operation ? In a famous malpractice case reflect­ ing almost precisely these odds ( Co b b s v . G ra n t , 1 9 7 2 ) , t h e C a l iforn i a S u p reme Court observed that "the weighing of these risks against the individual subjective fears and hopes of the patient is not an expert skill. Such e va l u a t i o n a n d d e c i s i o n is a n o n m e d i c a l j udgment reserved to the patient alone . " T h a t t h e p a t i e n t m i g h t r e s po n d t o the physician's explanation of risks w i t h , " O h , d o c tor, you tell me what ' s best to do, " is not reason to back off from the requirement to give the patient the information. E ven then , it is the patient's right to decide that this case is complex enough that it should be thrown back to professional. With increasing attention to the patients' rights to give and refuse i n f o r m e d con sent comes an almost inevitable increase i n re­ s p o n s i b i lity of the pa tients for their own health care. TheYJ too, have an important role to play in health maintenance. Not only are m ed ical professionals obligated to involve them i n decisions via the principle of informed consent , but medicine is also then relieved o f the burden of providing expected, magical cure-alls. The principle cuts both ways, u n d o u bt e d l y for the l o n g - r u n dignity and interest of all of us . On their surface the principle an d the malpractice suits arising from it appea r to make medical p rofessional s more accountable to the patient. " I n obtaining con­ sent the physi cian has failed to meet his due care duty to disclose perti . lent information" ( Cobbs v . Grant ) . But also, in its fundamen­ t a l l o g i c . t h e p r i n c i p le of i n­ formed con e 1t reflects a nd en­ courages greater accountability of patients for their health. I f I am b ro u g h t to r e a l i z e t h a t treat­ ments are not cure-ai ls, and if ! as a pa lent must be brought into the com p l e x p r o c e s s of w e i g h i n g r i s k s , t h e n I am bound to look upon any right to medical treat­ ment as a right to health care and not a right ' 0 healt h . S t ili . o f course, r will ulti mately be con­ cerned a b o u t g e t t i n g a s m u c h health a s pOS SIble , b u t that m a y require me t o hange some o f m y own habits as well as it requires me to get professional m e d i c a l care . When informed consent is t a ken se r i o u s l y , t b e m ed i c a l professional m a y still have con­ siderable authority, but it will be J e s s c o r ro s i v e of p a r i e n t re -

sponsibility. I would call that, if not the best of all possible worlds, still the better of two. II

T h e m a lpractice CrISIS has a hectic, everyday, practical ring to it - m o n e y , attorne y s , in­ s urance, strikes, increased con­ s u m e r f e e s . I n c o n t r a s t , the practice of letting defective newborns and the terminally ill die has a more awful, universe· s h a king tone. In 1971 in Baltimore, parents refused consent for surgical removal of an intestinal blockage i n a n otherwise healthy but mongoloid infant ; it starved to death over the riext week . In 1975, a prom i­ n e n t p e d i a t r i c i a n in S e a t t l e publio l y discussed not inserting shunts in hydrocephalic infa n t s or not re movin g i nfected sacs from newborns with spina bifida cystica ; in both cases, s verely mentally and/or p hysically hand­ icapped hiJdren will not live past infancy. In other cases, a t er m i n' lly ill and comatose adult has not been placed or continued on a respirator at the request of the family In a U these cases some pe sons mak a decision for the disconti nuance of another's life that has qua l itati vely serious de­ fects . Should som people decide w h e t h e r he worth of a no t h e r person ' s life is outweighed by its defective quality a nd the expense and suffering innocently a used to them in mainta ining i t ? I t i s easy to see the d angers . In t h e c a se of the i n f a n t , no o n e seem to represent its welfare . We might all try to j ustify allowing an infant to die by accurately gaugmg its own s uffering should it live. But does that j ud gme nt reflect merely our own personal horror at the thought of li v i n g w j t h s uc h h a nd icaps , from ou vantage point of relatively normal people ? And should we not a l ways sus pect that any decision against the infant' s life reflects more the parents' j u d g m e nt of the q u a l i t y of their lives spent caring for such a child than the quality of the infant 's life itself ? Will reti cence to p r e s e r v e t h e lives o f the reta rded a n d serious] y handicapped newberns e..rooe !JUf commitment to care for the other r e t a rd e d a n d h a n d i c a p p e d c h i l d r e n ?

In those cases , is not the notion of a " w r o n gful l ife " p l a u s i b l e enough that w e shoul d be left free to consider the person' s largely unfortunate effects upon others ? At l e a s t the judgment whether such a life itself is good is an open one , which is unusual ; thu s , in these few cases, we might decide it is wrong to interfere with any fa mily decision to disc o nt i n u e treatment, and w e mi ght decide th t without in any way weaken­ i g the general right of children and patients to their lives against their family' s possible contrary wishes. Why should we label a patient ' s own decision to with hold l i fe­ s u st aining treatment of him as coerced or influenced by stigma s i m p l y eca se he gives great weight to the effect of t e decision up other ? n some cases we are permitted to decide to sac­ ri fi c e o u r ery lives for oth rs when we are healthy ; when we ha ve decided hat our terminally ill and c o m a t o s e lives are not wo r t h nearly so m u c h as any health y, conscious ones, sh oul d n o t c o n s i d e r a t i o n of others become proportionately more im­ portant ?

III A t h i r d development r a i s e s d e f i n i t i v e m o r a l obj ect i o n s . Through various means we are on the verge of making selection of the sex of newborn children readi­ ly available to parents One fully devel oped technique requires a test d uring pregnan 'y to reveal the sex of the fetus, after which the parent may ch se an abor­ tion if the particular sex indica ted is not desired. Techni ues which are somewhat less questionable morally are in the pro c e s s o f d e v el opment. The timing o f in­ tercourse with female ovulation is statistically correlated with sex d i ffe r e n c e s b u t d o e s n o t approach guaranteein g selective resu l t s in a p a rt ic u l a r ca s e . S e v e r a l m e t h o d s for s o r t i n g sperm into those that produ ce fe males and those that produce males have been developed and a r e a w a i t i n g definitive clinical trials ; when combi ned w i t h a r t i fi c i a l i n s e m i n a t i o n , they would appear to be the likeliest candidates for a wid ely av ilable ex selectio technology. Several pr ble mm dialely appear. Presently, many parents show a marked preference for a m ale first child, a female second child, and no marked prefe ence thereafter. Th e res It of a v a i l ­ a b l e s e x selection technology would th s undoubtedl y be an in c r e a s e in the m a l e- to-female population ratio. While this im­ balan ce m ay iH be v e r y significant aft r the first year the technology i introduce it mi ght still push us more in the d i re tion of a male- ' urp lus " frontier society," in which, fo r one thing, the reduced a v ilabiliy of marriage pa r t n e s ou l d ca u s e some rise in pr · titution and homosexuality Much more importantly, would ex selection not subject children to increased s tereoty pmg p ress ure. ') - the pa r e n s w o u l d m o re c l e a r l y , eparate male and fema le roles if rhey had made a decision to select the ex of a child . Furthermore, would the one gIrl in a three-child f a m i l y n o t feel i n f e r i o r a n d stigmatized i f she found out that she had been selected to be a sec­ ond and minority child ') How can w e . p o s s i b ly e n t r u s t a S OC I e t y w h i c h h a s s o per v a s i vely ll i . ­ criminated against women with the opt ion of ex elec t io n ? I t y,rould eem to have disq ualified Itself from the minimal fairnes and wi sdom to use such a te h oLogy . Not for a minute would I un­ derestimate the dangerous uses of s u c h a new freedom . B m I would call to our attention two more positi ve notes . First, it is

not at all clear that people will use this technology if it is available, or even that the medical c o m ­ munity will spend the resources to make it available for clinical application. One study shows that most women would not even want to consider actually choosing the sex of their children ; they see the invidious discrimination in even wanting to have a choice , at least in first and second child cases . Al so, most of the medical com­ munity m ight choose not to make such techniques available except in cases of obvious medical need, like genetic diseases which are passed only to cblldren of one sex. Second, the i ncreased opportuni­ ty to act out a reprod uctive sex prefe r e n c e m a y f o r c e to o u r a t tention the s t a rk moral du biou s n e s s of preferr i n g t h e very exi tence f one sex over the otber. There are more ways for a society to attack its own biases t h a n by a v o i d i n g t h e opportunities to express them . In­ creased opportunity and responsibility may turn out to be more sobering than seductive .

IV In the malpractice crisis I can see hope for an in creased sense of responsibil i ty in patients as well as an ultim te y not too fearful sense f accountability in medic­ al pers o n n e l . In t h e g r o w i n g nu mber of cases of allowing in­ fants and the terminally ill to die, I can see hope for a sober com­ mit ment to the quality of life , as well a hope for increased om­ munication betwee n patients and p rofe s s iona l s a bout the matt r that logically precedes all medic­ al c are , the wor th of life . In the i m m a n e n c e of s e x e d u c a t i o n tech ology I can se hope f r a n increased a areness of the mor­ a J l y s i lly effe c t of our t ri vial preference s on he creat ion of new l ives . My hope and com mit me nt 1 S tha t m a n ' history and technolo­ gy do nothing in themsel ves. They fIght 0 battles . win 0 I enefits , and never fail disappo in t i n g l y .

Originally opened as an academy, Pacific Lutheran was r e n a m ed " Ac a d e m y and Busi­ ness College" in 1898 a nd became Pacific Lutheran College in 1920. In 1921 it became a junior college ; 10 years later it was organized as a three·year normal s c hool. It became a four-year college of education in 1939, the year that the Crown Prince Olav made h is fir t visit to t h e c a m p u s .

Q Club Nears 1975 Member Goal of 500 By David Berntsen Director, Special Giving Programs

Directo r, Deferr ed Giving As the year comes to a close we all have a tendency to evaluate o u r fi n a n c i a l s i t u a t i o n a s i t regards taxes. Tax avoidance is entirely l e g a l a nd thro u g h p r o p e r planning oftentimes we can save a considerable amount. A t t h e e n d of t h e y e a r , if i t appears that you will b e i n a high tax bracket in 1975 than in 1976, you might find it p rofitable t o t a k e s o m e of n e x t y e a r ' s deductions during 1975. What could cause you to be in a higher tax bracket in 1975 over a g a i n s t 1 976 ? H e re a re a few possibilities : 1 . If 1975 has been an exception­ ally good business year for you. 2. If you plan to retire in 1976. Once you retire, there is a good chance that your income will be lower, even with your retirement benefits . 3. I f Congress legislates a n in­ c o m e tax reduct ion t hat takes effect in 1976. What kind of deductions can be taken in 1975 to save on taxes ? The two easiest are : 1 . Medical expens e s . I f y o u have u n p a i d medical bills, you m ' ght want to pay them in 1975. H o w e ve r , b e c a u s e m e d i c a l expenses are ded u c t i bl e o n l y after they have exceeded 3 per cent of your adjusted gross i n ­ come, i f paying these bill will not bring you over th a t 3 p e r cent m a r k , it w i l l not b e a d a nt a ­ geous t o pay these bills i n 1975. 2 .

Fall ' 75 E nrollment Up; Now About ' 76 By Jim Van Beek D irector, Admissions The e x c i te m e n t of the i n a u ­ guration of Dr. William O . Rieke as the eleventh PLU Pre s i d e n t a n d the beginning of o u r 85th academic year was shared by the largest new student population in PLU history. 653 freshmen and 340 transfers increased full-time e n ro l l me n t for f a l l 1 975 to a record h i g h of 2,57 1 . Part-time students raised total enrollment to 3 ,428. The academic quality of new s t ud e n t s c o ntinued to improve. The average high school grade point of entering freshmen was 3 . 33 and transfer s t u d e n t s presented an average collegiate g . p . a . of almost 3.00 ( B ) . Twelve new freshmen are National Merit Scholars and 300 received Honors at Entrance. By June 1, 1975 over 90 per cent of our new students for fall had c o n fi r m e d t h e i r i n t e n ti o n t o e nroll and on-ca m p u s h o u s in g b e c a m e li mited.

Though bad news has a l w a y s been a part o f life, it seems that only in the past 10 years or so has it taken a dominant place in our Iives and thoughts. Our m o s t b a s i c bel iefs, con­ cepts, attitudes and institutions are constantly challenged. Con­ s t r u c t i ve c h a l l e n g e l e a d s t o growth, but it seems that much of what we see and hear amounts to destructive attack. As planning progressed on this issue of Scene it seemed appropriate, in anticipation of the holiday season, to try to translate the Chri s t ma s m e s s a ge o f � 'Hope" into thoughts that relate to our everyday concerns . While t h e re is j u st ifica tion for great conc e r n with respect to m a ny p ro b l e m s , there m u s t also be cause to review our situation also w1tb some degree of optimism . The R ie k e s , J i m B e c k m a n , Paul Menze l and Randy Bohannon h a ve t a c k l e d t h e challenge from various per pectlves. We hope that their me. sages have given you some food for constructive thought and e en inspiration as we look for­ ward to the Season of Hope.

P R ESlDE NT'S Annual Report

O M M EN TS 1 9 7 4-7 5

Although I have been on the job as president of Pacific Lutheran U n i v e r s ity for l e s s t h a n f o u r months, I feel i t i s important to prepare and distribute an Annual Report so that you who are con­ cerned about or have a stake in this institution may have an over­ view of our progress and our con­ d i t i o n . Following my o p e n i n g remarks w i l l b e reports from key a d m i n i s t r a to r s w h o so a b l y carried out their duties last year, a nd whose contin u i n g support and service are deeply appreciated . The obvious success of the past year can be directly credited to the wise and steady leadership of D r . R ic h a r d J u n g k u n t z , who erved as Acting President and P r o v o s t . S u pp o r t e d by a n extre m e l y fine fa culty a nd a n a ble administrative tea m , he was a ble to mo ve the ins titution for­ ward in almost every area. I com­ mend him and thank him for his contribution . My decision to come back full­ t i m e to my alma m a ter, after wenty-three y e a r s of i n t e n s e a ctivity i 1 teachmg, research and a d min istration in the m e d i c a l f ie l d , w a s n o t m a d e w i t h o u t thorou g h a n a l y s i s o f t h e i m ­ p l i c a t i o n s o f s u c h a decisio n . Perhaps my thinking on the value o f c a s t i n g m y l i fe a n d m y resources into such an institution as PLU m a y se rve to e nl arge your own perspective of Christian higher education in general, and Pacific Lutheran U nivers ity i n particular. Many questions arose which had to have valid answers.

What is the characteristic that draws and retains well-qualified f a c u l t y m e m b e r s i n s p it e o f lucrative a nd enticing offers from other institutions ; that causes our student body to overflow i n spite of increasing tuition costs ; that e l i c i t s fro m d o n o r s a n d b e n e factors increasingly gener­ ous support ? Most i m p o r t a n t o f a l l , o f course, is a sound and vigorous academic base, with a solid core curriculum in a milieu allowing innovation and experimentation . A d i v e r s e f a c u l t y w i t h w e l l­ prepared backgrounds is a sine qua non of a successful institu­ tion . Students, on the whole, are br ighter t h a n a v e r a ge - d r a ­ matically proven again this year by the fact that exactly one-half of the freshmen entered PLU with grade point averages of 3.5 or bet­ ter, 4.0 rep r e s e n t i n g a p e rfect . . A " a v e ra g e - a n d t h o s e students are also more demand­ i n g . U p h o l d i n g t h is kind of enterprise i s a stable fin a n c i a l c o n d i tion r e s u l t i n g f r o m j u di­ cious a nd conscient i o u s m a n ­ a g e m e n t o f t u i t i o n a n d g i ft resources . All of my preceding comments might describe any good private university and, indeed, responsible leaders would assure such a climate. But the dynamic which permeates an in stitution d e d i c a ted to Chri s t i a n high e r education, in addition to a c a d e m i c accounta b i l i t y , i s education with a purpose. That p u r p o s e - or m i s s ion - is to educate in order to allow m a x i m u m o p p o r t unity for s t u d e n t s to develop f u l l a n d productive l i ves, motivated by Christian principles. This intense and high purpose mandates a free and full exploration of knowledge

in all areas of the arts, sciences a nd p rofess i o n s i n o r d e r to extract or confirm the truth. To do less is to deny our reason for existence as individuals and as an institution. This spirit of purpose is com­ pell i n g a n d r e a l on t h e P L U cam pus . I find it rare, indeed, and exquisitely worthwhile . What are our plans to enlarge or plumb our potential of service t o s t u d e n t s a n d , as a c o n s e­ quence, to society ? Studies of im­ med i a t e and long-range needs are underway but not , as of this w r i t i n g , r e a d y- f o r i m­ plementation. To name a few of our concerns and dreams, though, might be hel pful i n p roviding a general picture of our current s t a t u s . Cla ssrooms and facilities in the School of Fine Arts and the Divi­ s i o n of N a t u r a l S c i ences are crammed beyond capacity a n d unquestionably need substantial relief if these progra m s a re to maintain the level of quality that has been achieved. At the present time, students and parents bear o v e r 80% of t h e t o t a l c o s t o f educ ation through tuition fees. This is too high, from both the standpoint of personal obligation, and the dependence of the Uni­ v e r s i t y b udget on fluctu a t i n g e n r o l l m e n t . Our e ndow m e n t must be increased to provide a steadier ballast and to lighten the tuition burden. Size of the student

body and the physical plant will q uite poss i b l y n o t change sub­ stantially, apart from the needs m e n t i o n e d a b o v e .

A new style of education - an interdisc i p l i nary c o u r s e structure in the hum anities, was x perimentally developed during the past yea r. The project was made pos sible by a $30,000 grant from the National Endow ment for the Humanities . The proj ect i s the first o f its kind a m o n g Wa h i ngt n ' s col ­ leges, and universIti es.

P r e v i o u s l y , the p r i m ary emphasis was on the enforcement of parietal rules, the provision of activ' ties a nd programs and the s u pe r vision of res idence hall s . Although t o some extent each o f these functions still remains, the emphasis has evolved to the place where education for total student deve lo p m ent is th e g o a l , a nd facilitation of learning experiences is the proc ess . T o t h i s e n d t r a d i t i o n a l s e r v i c e­ rel a t e d funct i o n s of the office whic h have continued have been a u g me n t e d b y p r o g r a m a t i c e m p h a s i s whi c h , h o p e f u l l y , assists the student to relate the educational program to h i s i n ­ dividual goals . V i s i b l e s i g n s of the new em phasis include work s ho p s i n care r goals and life planning ; "cultural streaking" workshops for greater u n d e r s tand ing and app rec i ation of cultur a l d ifferences and human s imilarities ; sophisticated train­ ing programs for the utilization of tude n t s i n p a r a p r o fe & s i o n a l s taff capacities ; involvement of Stud e n t o v e r n m en t in c o n ­ temporary issues and programs including legal aid s e r v i c e , volunteer programs, the planning for a day care center and critical as sessm ent of te aching effectivenes s.

The t r a d i ti o n a l s e r v i c e s offered by Student Life continued with 1700 students housed in the res idence h alls, with all of the m a n y p r o b l e m s a n d opportunities involved in a close l i v i n g e n v i ro n m e n t . S t u d e n t s participated i n the residence hall governing a s s o c i a t i o n s , in t h e j udicial boards, i n a highly active and varied intramural program for both men and women, and in numerous m i s cellaneous residence hall activities . Close to 25 percent of the student body m ade contact with the Learning S k i l l s S e rv i c e . M o s t of t h e s e s t u d e nts were looking n o t for remedial assistance in the sense of low performance but were in­ ste ad seek i n g to a c h i e v e i m ­ p r o ve m e n t i n a r e a s a l r e a d y satisfactory i n most cases - such as reading skills , math and com­ po s i t i o n s k i l l s , a n d b a s i c i m ­ prove ment i n study efficiency.

Over 6,000 contacts were made by students with the Health Service covering a wi e variety of physi­ cal ailments. Ov r half of these c o n t a c t s i n c l ud e d p h y s i c i a n examinations .

Foreign students continued to enroll in sizable nu mbers and the number of minority students con­ tinued to increase. A professional staff member in each of these two areas assisted with the orienta­ tion of these students and helped to d e v e l o p v i a b l e p r o g r a m s related to t h e i r conce r n s . The U n i v e r s ity Center Office fa c il i t a t e d m a n y s t u d e n t a c t i v i t i e s and also handled the scheduling of 2,559 meetings and programs in the U .

In addition to the above areas o f e m p ha s i s , the Student L ife staff engaged in an ongoing pro­ gram of staff evelopme nt d e s i g n e d to u p g r a d e i t s effectiveness as a catalytic agent in the educational process. This program will continue , and will hopefully lead to even more im­ p ro v e m e n t in t h e d e l i v e ry of services and in various programs d e s i g n e d to facilitate student development.

Linda Allen

Alum Brings Musical Life To Community B y Judy Carlson Seeing an old t i m e r tota l l y captivate children with his tales of homesteading, joining an au­ d ience and a Native-American dancer in a dance of friendship, and feeling the magic woven by an accomplished ballad singer are some of the rewards in Linda Allen's job. Ms. Allen, class of '68, is a part-time performer and full­ time folk center coordinator. Ms. Allen developed her first center for Olympia in 1974. After di recting i t for a year, she stepped down t o organize a simi­ l a r p r o g r a m i n the C h e h a l is­ Centralia area. Her folk centers a re non-profit organizations established t o promote the folk arts and music in the community. Free programs are o ffered to schools, ch urches , low-i ncome groups, and senior citizens. Ms. Allen became involved in folk centers throu g h her o w n performing. After a short stint as a teacher and finding it not to her l ik i n g , she began s in g i ng 10 a m a l l c offee h o u s e i n S a n Francisco. Within a year she was a folk musi i a n full t i m e . S A l l en perform ed professional l y for four years , singing throughout the west coa t and Eu rope. She also was a part of two USO tours to Vietnam , Thailand, and Asia . Through her participatlOn with several folk festivals on the east and west coasts, she became very inte rested in trad itional music. From these contacts , she got the idea of establishing a com m 11nity folk cent e r . S h e m o v e d t o Olympia in the fall of 197.3 to bring that dream into a rea lity. She fo nd her first p roblem wa in breaking down pe p i ' s

preconcei ved Dotions o f a folk center. "The idea is that it is an integral part of the com m u nity for young and old," xplained Ms . Allen. " I t is not a 'coffee house ' nor is it excl us i ve l y for young people " Basical ly, fol k m u s i c IS tha t W h l C b evoh'cs o u t of the com­ m U D i t y . i n c l ud i ng 'aditio na l , contemporary or original form s o music, ex pI i ned M . Allen. " I t coul d be blues, jazz of Lhe '40's, I rish bal l d s , o r m u s i c f r o m , w i [ z rl a n d , B I t i n , o r t h e Balkans . " Featured performers ar tapped from oth inside and outside of the communit y ; musicians from as far away as E ngland have performed. Although performers are usu­ al l y p r o fe s s i o n a l o r s e m i ­ professional, a time is set aside for local beginners to develop their skill in an "Open Mike" ses­ sion pre c e d i n g the fea t u r e d performance. Not limited to just music, the folk center a l s o spotlights story-tellers, p oets , ethnic dancers, theater p r o d u c t i o n s , a n d m i n i­ workshops. During the organ ization and operation of these folk centers, M s . A l l e n h a s c o n t i n u ed t o p e rf o r m a n d l e c t u r e . I n h e r performance she sings tradition­ al, contemporary, and original songs, accompanied by dulcimer, and autoharp. Her presentations e x a m ine contemporary music and how it has reinforced societal stereotypes of women, and songs women have sung and have had s u n g a bout th e m . " The presentations are fairly gentle, yet they have elicited some lively discussions ! " noted Ms. Allen. A l th o u gh Ms. Allen has done most of the organizi ng of t h e centers alone, she received early s u p port from her fa m i l y , t h e C o m m u n i ty for C h r i s t i a n Celebration and a folk musician, Jim Zito, whom she married in 1974.

" Life as a musician has seldom been dull , " she said, "and creat­ ing a community folk center is another kind of e x perience very challenging ! "

Moose Horns Presented 75 Years Late During the 1898-99 P L U school year, Rev. Bjug Harstad, the uni­ versity ' s foun d e r , went to the Yukon hoping for a gold strike to i m p ro ve PL U ' s f i n a n c i a l situation. While he was there, a friend, D r . Lee, shot a moose and des ig nated t h a t the h o r n s be presented to PLU. The official presentation was never made. The horn s . which measure m ore t h a n f i v e feet acros and three feet high, stayed amon g members of the Harstad fa mily, sometimes weathering on the outside of barn walls, other time. gathering dust in attics . R cently Dr. William Harsta d of M ilton -Freewater, Ore , Bj ug's grand on, took an interest i n the horns and d iscovered, through old letters, Dr Lee ' s original in­ tent. Believing that it was "high ti me" that the presentation be made to PL U, he e stored the horns and pre s e n t ed th e m , 7 S years late, at the Oct. 2 S alumni banquet. " May these mo se horns," he said, " be a constant reminder of the love and dedication that many peop! have gIven to this uni ­ versity . . .

Wb t does it m e a n to b e an alum nus or alumna of Pacific L u th e r a n U n iversity ? It seems l i ke most people' s definition of an alum is one who attended a s chool or ins t it ution .

E mily ( Reitz ) Boleyn '72 and her husband Doug spent most of �heir ti�e � nd resources last year m deslgnmg and building their new three story, three bedroom contemporary home outside of P o rt l a n d , O r e . T h e h o m e i s designed to accommodate solar space and water heating. Set on a steep southern exposure w it h v i e w s o f t h e Willamette and Clackamas River Valleys and Mt. Hood , their house was chosen by Portland General Electric for use in an extensive �ese� rch and demonstration pro­ J ect m solar heating. "All that was invol ed to m ake sol ar h eating po s s i b l e , " s a i d E m ily, " was setting the south­ facing r?of at a 60 degree angle for maxImum year-round radia­ ti�n, and i nstalling two pipes run­ nmg from he basem ent storage area to the roof at a total extra cost of $8S . " The Boleyn ' s house, the firs t De of its kind in the Portland :!re� t w�g cr!hin::l l ly gesiJroed as a passive solar building ·- one that would conserve heat and light as a r e s u l t of t h e a r ch i t e c t ural ·t ru c t u r e . T h i s w a s a c o m ­ plished by their orientation to the s u n and the loc a t i o n o f t h e i r wind w s . M ax i m u m insulation and thermal windows also aided energr con ervalion . Eventually they were planmng

o n c o n v e r t i n g their passive system to an active one which is why tbey installed the p ipes and slanted roof. Active systems are u sed to heat w ater and space. " Eventually" came sooner than the Boleyns had expected when PGE approached them with the offer of installing the necessary equipment if they would be part of the company ' s two-year project. The Boleyns readily agreed. The princi les i olved ' n solar he at i ng , acco r d i n g to E m i l y h av e been tried and proven many times. Collectors on the roof con­ s i s t of b l a c k coated metal to absorb heat, under a glass cover with water pumped between . Th� heated water is then stored and used as needed through a p p. r o p r i a t e h e a t e x c h a n g e devlces. Thus, explained Emily. the heat IS available during the night and on overcast days. "Just how efficient this will be in cloudy Portland is one question we hope to answer," she said . " S o l a r hou s e s a re m ost attractive for people who can do much of the work themselves " w rot.e D r . W i l l ia m G i d d i n g � , c h a I r m a n of t h e D i v i s i o n of NatUl al Sciences at PLU i n the April issu of Seen . lniti�lly, the Boleyns w re planning to do the work involved ·n converting their hou t:: to solar hea i ng.

E mily, the cost of which would have been around $2,000. PGE in­ stead will install collectors on the south roof, storage tanks in the basement. and all the necessary i n s t r u m e n t s a n d c o n tro l l i n g devices at an estimated cost of $20,000. The difference between the two figu r e s is d u e to t h e ela borate i nstrumentation and co m m e r c i a l l y a v a i l a b l e c o l ­ lectors as well as the data record­ ing instruments. . The initial cost of solar heating IS more expensive than conven­ tional heating due to the expense of collectors, noted E mily but the solar system will eventu� llY pay for itself because t h e f u e l ( s unli � h t ) is tree and the only operatmg cost IS electricity to run the pump (to circulate water) and the fan ( to circulate air ) . " O f course , " she added " you n e e d a c o n v e n t i o n a l h e'a t i n g syste� a s a back up, especially here m the Portland area where we estimate getting half our heat from the sun. The other half has to come from somewhere, and the two s ystems make it m o r e expensive. " Cost will go down as the . demand for s o l a r e n e r g y eqUIpment goes up. . The proj ected date for conver­ SIO� to solar heating is Oct. 26, W�IC� is " Solar Energy Day . " At thIS lme PGE ho es to hav all the equipment installed. But with all the new additions to the house, the one the Boleyns are most excited about has little to do with solar heating, and that is the .Aug. 1 birth of their daugh­ ter, Lisa Ann. The Boleyns reside at 17610 Springhill PI . , Gladstone, Ore . 97027.

A grandstand father added , " Gawd, they're terrific. And nice legs - all of them . " Cheerleading had its primitive beginning in 1898, an inspiration of the moment by a M innesota student named Johnny Campbell, who hopped out of his grandstand seat and, in a fr enzy, strutted b e f o r e t h e s t u dent body with s h o u t s of " R a h , r a h , r a h , Minnesota ! " It ' s not known who was the first PLU cheerleader, but Lutheran football teams have been doing battle since 1926.

M at Squad Sets Sights On Crown

By Jim Kittilsby Performing an encore after an 8-1 season requires consummate artistry, and ex-drummer F rosty Westering, PLU ' s head football coach, maestroed the Lutes on an upbeat tempo for seven games in 1975. Two sour notes were drowned out by the foo t b a l l fort i s s i m o which gave the Lutes a s hare of tbe Northwe s t C o nf e r e n c e championship. The L u t e g r i d d e r s , 2 7 - 9 i n W e s t e r i n g ' s fo u r - y e a r r e i g n , finished 6 - 1 i n Northwest C o n ­ ference action, 7-2 overall . A 20-7 reversal to Puget Sound in game three clouded the Lutes' hopes for a post-season NAIA playoff berth. A 20-19 nudging by Linfield, offset by Linfield' s demise at Whitworth, left the three schools in a deadlock for the NWC crown . W h i l e t h e j u r y i s s t ill o u t deliberating the numerous post­ season all-star cases, the superb showing of three Lute p l a y e r s , each with eligibility re maining, will partially salve the sting of 10. ing 20 seniors. Junior f u l l b a c k Jon H o r n e r , who gained j ust 3 4 yards i n a part­ time role in 1974, exploded for 750 yards in 122 carries, scoring 60 points. Another j u n i o r , m i d d l e l i n e b a c k e r S t e v e Ridgway, av­ eraged 1 5 tackles per game and seems a cinch to renew all the area all-star honors accorded to h i m i n 1 9 7 4 . Sophomore Steve Irion set a NWC record of 10 in­ te r c e p t i o n s and is on target to th re a t e n the s chool c a r e e r i n ­ terception record of 1 9 set b y his brother Jack from 1967-70. Afte r a 23 -0 non-counter tr i u m p h over t h e A l u m n i , t h e Lutes blitzed Western 42-6 in th e collegiate opener. The Lute pack reeled off 399 yards in offense in the first h a l f and s c o r e d fo u r to uc hd o w n s i n a span of se ven minutes. Horner was t he princi­ pal ground gainer with 1 13 yard s .
