THE CONCORDIAN NUMBER 5 VOLUME LIXIII CONCORDIA COLLEGE, MOORHEAD, MINNESOTA, OCTOBER 1, 1971

k Mood is mellow

CAROL THYSELL News Editor The time: the 1970's. The place: an antique sale, a school home- coming, a display window, a silent movie showing. The mood: nostalgic. Remember . . . Winnie-the-Pooh, pick-up-sticks, Beatlemania, granddad's wooden rocker, "jacks/' oval family portraits, W. C. Fields, 30 postage stamps, gas lamps, a wooden plow, "Life of Riley," padded shoulders, class wills? The list goes on and the revival grows. Modern America is digging into its past—turn of the century, the '30's, 40's, and even the '50's. History professors and reminiscent elderlies are no longer the only ones interested in the "bridge over time." Fargo-Moorhead citizens, both over and under 30, have caught the mood. Witness the past weekend's festivities at Cass County Histori- cal Society's "Bonanzaville" in West Fargo. Lefse making, stocking weaving and candle dipping demonstrations drew large crowds the entire weekend. Take a look at fashions this year. The smock has returned, along with longer skirts, tweeds, bib overalls, and crocheted vests. Listen to the entertainment. KQWB radio has a regular pro- gram of oldies with the appropriate title, "Nostomania." Nitty Gritty Dirt Band concerts feature renovated instruments and a "cool teen of the 50's" routine. W. C. Fields is becoming a legend. Taste the foods of the fall. Rolled oats, wheat germ, honey, dried fruits and nuts—it's back to the basics. One billboard in Moorhead, advertising a well-known beverage, displays a silent movie placard stating that its product is "back from the '30's and '40V Why all the interest in the past? Is it an appreciation of an era? A sort of art-for-art's sake thing? Many communities in the Red River Valley are celebrating 100th anniversaries in the 1970's. Though this could explain the costumes, habits, and nostalgia of this area, the indications are that nostalgia is a nationwide feeling. Is it one of the "cycles of history?*' Are we unconsciously in- volved in giving evidence to the theory that history repeats itself? One professor noted that students this year are tending to be more like those of the '50fs rather than the recent '60's. The mass protests and loud rebellions have given way to individual efforts and calmer questioning. He felt a new awareness and willingness to listen in those students. Could this nostalgic wave be a result of learning something from the .ultra-modern sixties and applying it to the new decade? Perhaps a longing for the past is a natural outcome of a dislike for the future's outlook. Whatever the answer, the mood is mellow and reflective. And the traditional weekend for this mood is here—homecoming. Con- cordia's 1971 theme, "Bridge Over Time," paints a single impression —nostalgia. Dr. Birkeli is Concordia's guest for homecoming The Rev. Dr. Fridtjov Birkeli, Bishop of Oslo and Primate of the Church of Norway, addressed a service Thursday commemor- ating the birth of Hans Nielson Hauge. Persons from throughout the region were invited to attend this service to recall the work of Hauge, a church renewal leader who was born in Norway in 1771. His work heavily influenced a large number of Norwegian immigrants to the U. S. Bishop Birkeli, who is in the U. S. at the invitation of Con- cordia College's President Joseph Knutson, also will give the sermon for the homecoming service on October 3. A noted theologian , historian, author, and preacher, Dr. Birkeli assumed his present post in 1968, following his work as the Bishop of Stavanger. He has been a staff member and general secretary of the, Nor- wegian Mission Society. He also has served as a missionary in Madagascar and for a time taught in a seminary there. He was director of the missions department of the Lutheran World Federation from 1954 to 1957 and traveled extensively during that time throughout Asia and Africa. Bishop Birkeli has represented the Church of Norway at numer- ous international church conferences. He also has been a member of the executive committee of the Lutheran World Federation. Born to missionary parents in Madagascar in 1906, he studied in Norway, France, and England. He was granted his doctor of the- ology degree in 1953.

OPEN 24 HOURS

Fresh, home-cooked meals, a pleasant atmosphere and round- the-clock, 24-hour service are just a few of the things that COUNTRY KITCHEN are making the two Country Kitchen restaurants popular in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

Located at Highway 75 and 1-94 in Moorhead and West Main and 1-29 in Fargo, Country Kitchen offers a new concept in family dining. First of all, everything they serve is prepared fresh daily in their own kitchens. Secondly, it's kind of hard to call them a sandwich shop although they do feature Country Boy and Country Gal among the twelve sandwiches they offer. And, they're not really a steak hquse either, but they do offer six different dinners ranging from Sirloin to Shrimp.

What they are becoming famous for are what they call their Country Specails. Several full course delicious meals are being offered daily featuring that "good old fashioned country cooking."

THE NEW SIGN OF Do you like to sit down to ham and eggs in the afternoon or evennig? Well, now, Country Kitchen offers a full break- fast menu . . . from steak and eggs to flapjacks . . . served 24 hours a day. And especially for the little ones; a Mini Menu with all kinds of good food in children's portions. And a treat for all those young "plate-cleaner-uppers"; a treasure chest filled with toys.

GOOD OLD FASHIONED Old fashoined country cooking? You bet. And while you're enjoying that second cup of coffee after your meal, take a look around at the decor; old fashioned looking kitchen wall- papering; rough saw cedar beams; decorative light fixtures; counter; booth or table seating . . . and more. And notice the friendly smiles on the employees? There are 120 Country Kitchen employees in the Fargo and Moorhead COUNTRY COOKING locations smiling that way ... 24 hours a day.

Governor Anderson endorses peace action

Governor Wendell Anderson has announced his suuport for the November 6th Peace Demonstrations in Minneapolis and 14 other major U. S. cities. In a letter to the Minnesota Peace Action Coalition, Anderson said, "Please add my name to those individuals who endorse the goals of the November 6th anti-war march. I fully support those activities through which our citizens can peacefully express their opposition to the endless tragedy in S.E. Asia." Anderson joins with Senator Walter Mondale, Minneapolis City Council, Ramsey County Board of Commissioners, 5th District Congressional Representative Donald Fraser, 4th District Congres- sional Representative Joseph Karth, Executive Board of Minneapo- lis Federation of Teachers Local #59, Lieutenant Governor Rudy Perpich, and many others in endorsing the November 6th marches to demand out of S.

TIM KOPP Feature Writer

"We really had to pray . . . The other people were offering more money and everything, but the Lord just made a way, and we got it. Praise the Lord!" And so the Encounter House came to Moorhead. Plagued by space problems in Fargo, the two adults and thirty youth who live in the Encounter House packed up and moved into the old stone church building that once was known as Bethesada Lutheran. The people who live in the Encounter House are Jesus freaks, and the Encounter House is their means of reaching Fargo-Moor- head youth with their ideas on Christ and the Christian faith. They are part of a growing nationwide Jesus movement that is sweeping over the country today. "I don't know why it is called a Jesus movement," says Betty, one of the adults, "all it is is young people finding Christ." The Jesus movement has been labeled by many as simply a fad. The people at the House believe it is not merely a fad. They know that it is real because they can feel a difference in their lives that they can't explain without attributing it to Jesus. To them this is a real living experience and they are often at a loss for words to express it. The encounter people feel that they have a real ministry going here and they sometimes find it hard to understand why many people reject it. One girl said, "The Lord has really blessed the Fargo-Moorhead area . . . Kids who don't get in on it are really (photo by Reed Carlson) missing something, that's all I can say." They are concerned deeply about the urgency of their work. "We are living in a time of grace. A time will come when God will stop dealing out grace and deal out judgment.'1 They see the Jesus movement as a move by God to herd as judgment. They believe that we are living in the last days of the many people into his fold as will come before the final days of world. The Encounter House is different from many of the other Jesus movements in their concentrated Bible studies. On an afternoon when they're not building more rooms in the basement, they may spend a couple of hours in Bible study. They also have regular Bible studies each evening and a worship service on Sunday after- noons. The Bible studies are really enjoyed by the Encounter people. They take the Bible quite literally because they believe it is "the inspired Word of God." They reject the idea that since the Bible was written by men, it also carries with it the conceptions of those men, hence they recreate in their minds all the vivid imageries set "When I read forth in the Bible. "When I read in the Bible about all the things that are waiting for me in Heaven, I just freak out!" said one en- in the Bible thusiast. '"It's just so fantastic it blows my mind." about all the things The People have little use for the organized church. They feel that are waiting that conventional church services are lost in ritual and carry none for me in Heaven, of their original meaning. They look at the Church as being three- I just freak ouiln quarters dead. Now before you all go running to the House to turn on to Jesus, there are some rules you should know about. George and Betty, the adults, have among their many responsibilities of financ- ing, budgeting, counseling, and teaching, the responsibility of en- forcing the house rules among which are no smoking, no drinking, no drugs, no boy/girl-sleeping-together-without-being-married type relationships, and just about every other vice known to mankind.

Man alive, here it is, homecoming again. I have made a pilgrimage to this campus for the past fifty-four years and I can't believe the changes. I feel like the guy on the song the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band sings about. Ah, Bo Jangles, that's the one. I never could play the harmonica very well and my best dog died at the age of ninety-eight. With my luck I'll probably make that, but I sure am going to give it the old col- lege try. This is the power plant. Hmmm, my kids used to tell me that they would go into the boiler room with some of the teachers and smoke pipes and cigarettes when nobody really important was around to catch them. Ha, I bet the administration knew all along about those young rebelious whip- persnappers. I doubt if they could pull the wool over their eyes even today. To top it off they quit smoking altogether. From what the younger generation has told me, this part of the food service complex,: carpet- ing and all—well, you can't beat that. We were lucky enough to have the facilities to boil some coffee. And they still complain about the food being worse than ever.

The smell of burning leaves used to seep through the classrooms' and get most everyone in the mood to take a walk with some nice young Homecoming Schedule sweetheart. The trees sure are changing fast this year, but according to the papers they can't burn leaves anymore.

Is this homecoming? October 1, 1971 Page 11 1931 basketball champs return to reminiscii e

All living members of Concordia's 1931 MIAC Basketball Championship team are planning to return to their alma mater for homecoming activities tomorrow. The 1931 team holds a unique position in the annals of Concordia athletics as they are the only- team that has ever won the MIAC basketball title. Regarded, as a powerhouse when they played, the Cobbers scored an average of almost half again as many points per game as their opponents. They scored an average of 33 points per game on their way to compiling an admirable 16-2 won-lost record. Frank Cleve, the coach of the 1931 team, who has since passed away, started a tradition of athletic excellence back in the 30's which is still evident on our campus today. Professor R. E. Fuglestad, the athletic director at that time, and Professor A. L. Eliasen, an avid follower of the championship team, will both be on hand this weekend to reminisce and share with the former players the exciting times of four decades ago.
