I asked brother Paul some questions: "Why did you choose this topic fo r your doctorate?"

"The study of the Diaconates is a necessary thing because we must know whether o r not they serve a real Ilurpose t o the Pro- testant Church, and whether o r not they have a fu ture in Amer- ica."

The Carnival means more than games and tests of skill.

Dr. Norman Lectures O n C h ~ m l e Prelude

At the SCA Forum meeting on Feb. 10, Dr. Harald C. xornlann presented a lecture on the Chorale Prelude.

This was a demonstration of the type of lllusic tha t is some- times heard and almost never ap- preciated a t the beginning of church services.

Dr. Normann explained that the function of these preludes is to set the mood for the services a s to seasons or events, and t o help the individual prepare him- self for worship.

The Chol.ale Prelude is based on old melodies. This was dem- onstrated by a prelude adapted from a version of The Lord's Prayer. In this, a s in al l of t h e chorale preludes, the organist tries to inject the mood of the piece with reference to the text.

In order to acquaint those who were Present with some of the preludes, Dr. Normann used old hymns and carols from t h e Hymnal so tha t the tunes could be correlated to the Context of t h e selection.

After briefly tracing the recent development of physics, Dr. Lewis expressed his fear tha t we might witness the extinction of the human race within 20 years unless steps a r e taken to control warfare with ultimate weapons. He warned us t h a t one of the greatest dangers of manpa de- structive potential is the extreme optimism expressed by most fac- tions of our society today. This is one time tha t mankind cannot learn by experience.

Firs t of all, I would like to say tha t I a m very happy to be able t o write this open letter and have i t published in t h e Wagnerian. I say this because many times dur- ing the past months I have wished it were possible for me to aadress the whole student body, but only if I could do so by one, in a personal way. This gives me my chance. I n t h e past ten months I have spoken individu- ally with more than 350 of you, and I feel tha t I would like t o do the same with al l t h e other near- ly 1400 students in t h e college.

Some- times they wouldnvt have to say a word and 1 would know they have a problem. I would know by the look on their faces, the twist- ing of their hands, the perspira-

It wasn,t too long after I came to Wagner tha t rather large numbers of students s tar ted corn- ing to see m e about their inter- ests, aptitudes and, above all , aspirations. I feel t h a t they have honored me with their confidence and trust. I am greatly apprecia- tive of t h e freedom with which they come t o discuss various problems t h a t confront them. They have learned t h a t the coun- seling situation is a permissive one in which they do not have to bluff or or lie. They can freely and be certain that what they have to say is held inviolate.

Some have asked whether I think anything is really aceom- plished through counseling. I have not been offended by this question. I have not for a moment hesitated t o say YES! ~~t I have had to add: NOT IN EVERY CASE. Success in COUn- Seling is dependent largely upon two factors: 1, ~h~ individual's recognition of the fact t h a t he has a problem that he wants to do something about. 2. The avail- ability of a counselor.who under- stands the dynamics of human behavior, is responsive t o human problems and is desirous of being helpful in the solution of prob- lems.

I am not baying at all that he must come with it clearly defined so as to be able to communicate it immediately. students are often conscious only of rather vague or fuzzy feelings of dis- content. Some come with one

Finally, you have asked how the has been received by the students. I must confess t h a t I was wholly unpre- pared for the amazing interest in counseling among the students. ~f you have dropped by office, you know that I am an extrelnely busy person, I am as busy as it is possible to be in approximately ten hours a day, and often on week-ends and evenings when specific problems of a n acute na- tu re come UP. I do not that needing has been turned away and I think

that all have been dealt with in a respectful, adul t way.

they a r e living statistics and can be read by observation. Success- fu1 counseling results in im- proved confidence, improved atti- tudes~ impr0ved and even* improved academic work. This is because the goal of coun- seling is threefold: 1. Increased Self-understanding; 2. Increased

function On the highest level possible for one's level of ability in the solution of one's problems; 3 . Increased evidence of growth and development which reveals itself in MATUR- ITY and INDEPENDENCE.

And this is what I think cOun- seling is, Jim. Tha t is a s f a r a s I can go in a letter to describe it. But who knows what it has meant to any one individual? And more important yet, because counseling frequently releases dormant creative potential with- in individuals, who knows what influence this experience will have in the fu ture? Thanks for this opportunity to write to the students. And thanks for the fine work the members of the Wag- nerian staff a re doing.

Page 4 THE WAGNERIAN February-12,1960

1 Of God's command To work the land Know the answers all too well.

Forget inflation, Radiation, Hold your sorrow Till tomorrow, Only time will tell.

Dave Jackness

There is not really too much to tell you, my dear intellectual friends. The programs are out for the LSC and Canterbury. The English Society has had its first meeting last Thursday, the Men's Honor Society holds a Symposium presently, the Faculty Lecture Series is well under way again, the book store is doing a booming business, and Paul Tillich is com- ing to Wagner.

To this point I would like to speak. We are very lucky to have such a man come to Wagner (even for one day) and therefor should prepare ourselves for his visit. Most of his books are in paperback editions so that for an outlay of a few pennies and a few hours reading time we can equip ourselves with some measure of comprehension when he speaks. All too often if we get interested in a Faith and Life Week speak- er and order his books, by the time they come w e are no longer interested. This year let us be different in our approach and get some real worth out of this week. I have participated in three Faith and Life Week programs since I came to Wagner. Each one was better than the one before-par- tially because we learn how to better run them from year to year, and partially because I un- derstood and participated in each successive week more fully, and with more enthusiasm. The high- light for me was last pear when we held Prof. Smith from MIT a t a bull session until two or three a.m. We talked a little about Zen. Do you catch my plea? Take advantage of this week. I t is not a waste of time!

For the arts: I asked in a prior column as to the activity of the Varsity Players. They are quite alive. They put a little play on for their society every week, a re working on Finnigan's Wake, a show for the Campus Community Chest, two productions for Faith and Life Week, and have plans

BALLET AT CITY CENTER Marilyn Dooley

I wish more students would try to get to the ballet, even once. I know they will never regret it. I t is an experience that cannot be adequately written or talked about-you have to be there to feel it. I am not really trying to sell ballet, but I do want the school to realize that i t is there, available, and waiting to be tried.

The four dances presented were Seven Deadly Sins, Swan Lake, The Cage, and Fantasy.

Seven Deadly Sins is a morality play in modern jazz. One woman, accompanied by a male quartet, sang a narrative in a haunting voice. As each sin was acted out, a piece of the New Orleans House (of ill-repute) was added. The dance was modern. To see i t once has meaning. Twice, I would tire of it.

Swan Lake

ence. A pleased audience gave a warm ovation. The feeling-why have I not been here before and, when can I see i t again-sums up Swan Lake.

The Cage "There occurs in certain forms

of insect and animal life, and even in our own mythology, the phenomenon of the female of the species considering the male as prey." Two male dancers;found themselves, one a t a time, in a world of Amazons . . . man- haters. I t was artfully executed.

Fantasy

One word describes it: 'color- ful.' The costumes and choreo- graphy were glorious. The whole stage was alive all the time. I t was a sort of jazzed up Swan Lake in precision drill.

She sold flow- ers and trinkets, pressed our uni- forms, and washed our laundry. She always had that 'knowing' look about her.
