Professors Receive RecognitionEtulain, Seamans Make Contributions To Literary World

By Ray VanceTwo Northwest Nazarene

College p ro fessors received special recognition th is past week-end for their achieve­ments in lite ra ry research .

Dr. R ichard W. Etulain, p rofessor of Am erican Stud­ies, was announced a s the author of a trio of a rtic le s currently appearing in h is­torical journals. The young h istorian returned Sunday from Albuquerque, N.M ., where he attended the annual meeting of the W estern L it­era tu re Association as a m em ber of the group’s execu­tive council.

Etulain’s publications in­clude an account of St. Jo ­seph’s Church in Idaho City which appears in “ Idaho Yes­terdays’’, quarterly journal of the Idaho H istorical So­ciety; “ John Cotton and the Anne Hutchinson C ontrover­sy’’ published in the fall i s ­sue of “ Rendezvous’’, Idaho State U niversity publication and a review of Bill Gulick’s “ They Came To A Valley” which appears in the curren t issue of “ Oregon H istorical Q uarterly .”

Meanwhile, back in Boise, Dr. A rthur F. Seamans, head

of the NNC English depart­ment, was telling Idaho col­lege and high school English teach ers in fall convention that “ we m ust change the a ir in our w atertight, stuffy com-

Sounding Board Members Named

Seven students have been named this week to m em ber ship on the Sounding Board, a student group at Northwest Nazarene College.

Rodney Bell, ASB p re s i­dent, said that purpose of the board is to m eet regularly to hear the views of in terested students on campus activ ities. Dave Lewis, 2nd vice p re s i­dent of the student body, is chairm an.

“ The purpose of the sound­ing board is to have a place where students can voice their views on campus activ ities and policies, ” Bell said.

Newly-named rep resen ta­tives to the board include Dana Bugh, Culver Hall; Debbi M ottram , Dooley Hall; Janie Bartlow, M orrison Hall; Ran­dy Michael, Oxford Hall; Jim M orrell, Mangum Hall; Bay­ard DuBois, Chapman Hall; and Ivan Inouye, off-campus.

partm ents of learning and thus make language studies seem m ore natural and p ractical to the student.”

Seamans, who obtained his Ph.D. in English at the Uni­versity of Maryland, would seem to have made h is point for the teachers proceeded to elect him vice chairm an of the group’s college section. This m eans that he will take office a s chairm an next year suc­ceeding Dr. Louie A tteberry of the College of Idaho, curren t chairm an.

Observing that “ there is no lack of hand-wringing over poetry’s fallen esta te ,” Sea­m ans a sc rib es the presen t condition to the separation in our culture of poetry from its o ra l presentation.

“ This divorce has made poetry compete with prose with the handicap that loss of the sound dimension brings to poetry ,” Seamans says.

The fo rm er New Yorker believes that English teach­e r s ’ difficulty in evoking a love for poetry in their stu­dents is much more than the natural boorishm ess of ths youth with whom these teach­e rs work.

“ The problem stem s at le a s t in p art from a shift in the dominant media from the o ra l to the printed. Our gen­eration is a t a be tte r vantage point to rea lize that no one media should monopolize the attention of man . . . That we a re ready to adm it that te le ­vision and other e lec tric m e­dia have their v irtues, does not mean that the printed page has become obsolete or that television can ever supplant i t ,” he observes.

Seamans says that the “ phenomenon of Beat poetry as a fad is worthy of attention because here a t lea s t is an attem pt to re s to re poetry to a popular o ra l trad ition .”

Seamans believes that teach ers can help to re s to re poetry to its form er ro le by learning how to read orally them selves; by suggesting that students read poems aloud by them selves; by lim iting the amount of poetry dealt with; by encouraging the inclusion of oral in terpretation of poetry in speech contests; by using an inductive approach to the sounds and rhythm Of poetry and by introducing the study of poetry as a delight.

Educational Media Center Expands Audio-Visual Program At NNC

Mel Schroeder, Education­al Media D irector at North­west Nazarene College, has announced that the school’s video-tape serv ices have been expanded to include in struc­tion in speech c lasses and physical education c lasses not included in las t year’s initial program .

Schroeder term ed the ex­pansion “ another step toward the development of an in struc­tional television departm ent as a p a rt of the educational media cen ter.”

Since its inception la s t year, video-taping — the r e ­cording of p ictu res and sound simultaneously for instant r e ­play — has been used in stu­

dent-teaching, hom iletics, a r ­chery c lasses and o thers, Schroeder said.

“ Video-taping means that the student can actually see and hear him self in the c la ss ­room a t work,” Schroeder said. "T h is means that one can work toward improvement of h is presentation with the aid of h is own observations as well as h is teacher’s sug­gestions.”

Schroeder said that a num­b er of students work in the media center where they ob­tain valuable training as a s ­sistan ts. Wayne Beckwith, Nampa sen ior, is among the video-tape assis tan ts , he said.

Was Christ A Drop-Out?

By L arry WilsonOne of the cu rio sities of

the hippie culture and the psychedelic crowd, who have been vehemently condemned but seldom understood, is that they actually look to the g reat religious leaders, and even C hrist Himself, for support. But, while they may adopt some of the m ysticism , ideals, fo rm s, and phraseology of G reat Religion, they a re blind to the heart of T ruth, and their desperate im itation is incomplete and to rtu red — a grotesque form at best.

Their cry com es quick to rem ind us that C hrist wore long hair and a beard , used sandals, and was also a drop out. These f irs t two claim s we rem em ber — but, was our Lord a drop-out? Oh, yes, they a re quite righ t here. C hrist did drop out of the existing value s tru c tu re , ac ­cepted custom s, and the nor­m al thought patterns; He vio­lated social and religious ta ­boos, and fervently denounced the false society.

Lacking spiritual sight, our hippie friends have made dropping out an end in itself, with the re su lt that they have dropped out of society as one would drop out of school; they now look back on society with cynicism and repulsion. All is rejected; non-involvement and hostility become their answer.

Again they refuse to ac­cept C h ris t 's complete con­text. F or, C hrist’s rea l social m essage, even m ore than to be a drop-out, is to be a drop-in. He dropped in on the intellectual c irc le s with meaningful dialogue; He drop­ped in, on the scorned m inor­ity groups; He dropped in on the poverty stricken , the de­form ed, the skid-row dere­lic t, the businessm an, the la ­b o re r, the w orthless — always with absolute love, and the offer of friendship and abund­ant life. Even m ore im p res­sive, He dropped in on the vile ones, the hypocrites, and His m ortal enem ies - - never with scorn or cynicism but with tearfu l rebuke and ad­monition.

To judge our society as false and hypocritical, and then to withdraw from it (into a hippie culture, or it may be a church culture) is to be guilty of a worse hypocricy. The people who really care a re in there helping. Love is m ore than wearing a peace pin and handing out flowers; m ore than the Apostles’ Creed and church-going. Love is en­during the humility of living in a corrupt, false society; and it is sharing their pain in o rder to bring them into Truth and L ife--to tune them in to life’s beauty. Such was C hrist’s life and m essage. P erhaps He might say to our disillusioned g e n e r a t i o n . “ Turn on; tune in; and drop in .’’

Chairm an Mao took the helm. Indonesia, two y ea rs ago one of China’s two staunch a llies, has broken off diplomatic r e ­lations with China.

Two years ago under Su­karno, Indonesia was rapidly turning into a communist strong-hold in Southeast Asia. The turning point was a bumb­ling attem pt a t a coup d’etat backed by the Indonesian Com­m unist P arty . G eneral Su­harto gained power and the world’s th ird la rg est com­m unist party , after R ussia and Red China, came to an end in a blood m assacre in which thousands of com m unists or alleged com m unists died.

In the past few months ten­sions between the two coun­tr ie s have heightened and the end came la s t week. Indon­esian students re ta lia ted a- gainst the Red Guard attack on the Indonesian em bassy in Peking by sacking the Chinese Em bassy and demanding that diplomatic re la tions cease.

While a lo ss both diplomat­ically and strateg ically to China, Indonesia is a country valued by the West in its a t­tem pt to secure Southeast Asia from Red Chinese comination. Indonesia occupies valuable re a l estate lying between Southeast Asia and A ustralia, controlling the S tra its of Mal­acca and within easy reach of the hugh B ritish navy base at Singapore. By their actions the Indonesian people have turned their backs on the Com­m unist world and its suppres­sion and joined the free peo­ples of the world.
