�Only a few things can be said with certainty about
the future of the 19 colleges supported by the Lutheran
Church in America. One is that no new colleges are
likely to be started in the '70's. Another is that none
of the present colleges are likely to be consolidated or
closed.
That's the view of Louis T. Almen, the soft-spoken
executive secretary of the LCA Board of College
Education and Church Vocations. Otherwise, he thinks
things are fluid-in a positive and deliberate sort of
way. A new image of the church college is emerging.
For example:
1) At a time when church membership is down,
the church's educational system has a bulging
enrollment (33 ,385 last year compared with 29,252
in 1965.) Youth who look down on the institutional
church are eager for the religious and human values
which are emphasized at church colleges. They are
attracted to universities which "take a stand and count
for something."
2) Government support of private institutions is
increasing. LCA colleges have received $35 million in
federal funds in recent years. the largest, single financial
source for these institutions. By contrast, only $3
million of the $72 million receipts of LCA colleges
last year came from the church.
3) Church colleges are not immune from unrest.
No LCA college, however, has had to call in the
National Guard or large numbers of police.
4) Some colleges are so excellent academically that
many Lutherans are disappointed when they fail to
meet the entrance requirements. The number of professors with Ph.D. degrees is increasing. Libraries are
enlarging.
5) Despite suggestions that the church "ought to
get out of the college business," the church-relatedness
of the colleges is intensifying. "Even if you don't give
us as much money, we can't keep our kind of
education without a relationship to the church." say
administrators. The church's commitment and tradition
are sources of strength that cannot be equated with
financial support.

�A thoroughly optimistic note
From these observations, it is obvious that Louis
Almen is a thoroughly optimistic note in the turbulent
atmosphere of today's academic communities. He's
also a refreshing note-44 , with a penchant for brightly
colored shirts, wide ties and somewhat longish mir.
He was virtually reared in the church-the son and
grandson of Lutheran pastors, a magna cum laude
graduate in history and Greek from Gustavus Adolphus
College, and a teacher at Augustana College, Rock
I sland, Ill., for 14 years.
Nevertheless, he does not think that he is naively
optimistic about church colleges in the '70s. "I
recognize that it is possible for negative decisions to be
made," he says. "But if you want to play the
percentages, I would bet on the church colleges'
future. "
One reason is that "youth are really interested in
this type of education. If youth had their 'druthers,' "
contends Almen, "they would choose private colleges.
Many statistical studies indicate this fact. The problems
they have with church colleges are high costs, not with
the education they offer.
"At Wagner College, for example, a high percentage
of the students are not Lutheran. Some are not related
to any church. But a vote showed that a great majority
of them wanted the college to remain church-related.
(Participants in Convo '70, the LCA youth gathering
in Minneapolis in June, disagreed 122-30 with a
suggestion that financial support to church colleges
be withdrawn.)
"This means that the church college is really in
tune with the times. The kids, you see, want an
institution that has a 'value' orientation. The big
university with its impersonal cafeteria approach is
really out of touch with the student. This has been one
of the crises of the universities.
"So church colleges are finding that instead of
being out of step, they are in step. The clue is that
even though many of the kids are not satisfied with
the institutional church, the enrollment in religion
departments is going up. By being one step removed
from the institutional church, the college is able to be
more avant garde in its approach and concerns. With
all this happening, it's inconceivable to me that the
church would want to get out of the college business."
Ironically, the sensitivity of these students to
human values sometimes erupts in dissent and unresteven at a church college. Louis Almen does not like
4
or condone such activity, but neither does he shy away
from it.
"I don't see that the student revolution is ready to
die out," he says. "We may have some difficulties this
year.
"If so, I expect them to follow the cycle of the
school year. When students get tired and pressures
become intense, steam breaks loose. Typically, this
comes just after Christmas, in February and March
and in May.
"At Wagner, when a group of students demanded
that the institution accept more blacks and Puerto
Ricans the college was unable to do so because of lack
of resources. Students then occupied the dean's office.
Classes continued and graduation exercises were
peaceful, but the total campus disturbance lasted nearly
a month. Some students were suspended."
Our mental image of the church
college needs up-dating
"Of course, Wagner is in the midst of metropolitan
New York and has probably been subjected to more
pressure than any of our colleges," explains AImen.
"Yet the point needs to be made that most church
people who are in their late 40's or 50's or early 60's
tend to think of the church college as it was when
they attended it. Somehow, they think that it is
unrelated to all the changes that the world has gone
through. In many instances, the church college is a
step ahead of where church people are today. Our
mental image of church colieges needs to be brought
up to date."
One aspect of that up-dated image is the matter of
finances. A little known fact is that the church has not
provided the primary source of support for its colleges
for the last 15 or 20 years. Wagner receives less than
I per cent of its budget from the church.
Stepping into this void have been a number of
agencies, most notably the U.S. government. In the
early 60's, the government turned a corner in providing
public funds for private church-related institutions.
Grants for construction and research, scholarship
programs, even textbooks for parochial schools were
made available. One of the few limitations was that
religion could not be taught in any federally funded
facility.
Almen points out quickly that church colleges could
not have grown as they have in the last eight years
without this support. Enrollments increased 50 percent
�between 1962 and 1968, and a number of extensive
building programs were completed.
"The government has the capacity to keep private
education in business," continues Almen, "and the
capacity to put it out of business. 1 think, though, that
where church colleges are offering public services, they
are worthy of receiving monies from the public till."
(As evidence, he cites that only about 5 percent of
LCA college graduates go into church vocations.)
"What has happened is that the church has become
a manager of funds from the government, foundations
and other agencies in order to keep alive a private
system of higher education. The same is true for our
involvement in welfare institutions. From the dollar
standpoint, the church should already be out of the
institutional business.
"But the church needs to be in the college field in
order to have a 'bridge' to- and from-the world of
higher education. It needs the vitality that it gains from
direct contact with the next generation and the
emerging character of the world. Similarly, the church
needs to be involved in the welfare business, otherwise
it will find it difficult to give visible, tangible expression
to its ministry of service."
* ',' *
Almen leaned back in his chair and ran his hand
through his hair. "Another side of his 'manager'
concept," he continued, "is the strong emphasis today
on the private sector. In business, education and
elsewhere, people are saying that 'bigness' and
government programming are not the answer to all
our problems. Social scientists feel there must be an
opportunity for sub-cultures to perpetuate their
uniqueness and value systems.
We have a responsibility to
preserve their value systeln
"Since church colleges have come out of these
sub-cuitures and make up a portion of America's
social fabric, we have a responsibility to preserve their
\ alue system for the good of society. Public institutions
cannot do this; they have to be neutral. "
A year ago, Hartwick College in Oneonta, New
York, took a hard look at its church-relatedness and
decided to sever its connections with the LCA. The
major reason was to allow it to qualify for larger
outside support. Almen does not foresee any other
Lutheran Church in America colleges taking a
similar step, however.
"Hartwick was not located in an area of Lutheran
strength," he says. "Furthermore, its relationship to
the church had always been minimal. The church
contributed only slightly more than $1 million since
it was founded 41 years ago.
"Do you know what one college president said
about such a move? He said, 'We will not leave the
church; the church will have to kick us out.'
"That president, whose college receives a very small
percentage of its operating budget from the church,
feels that the church's commitment and trust are more
valuable to the operation of the institution than fiscal
support. The college is related to the church because
they share a common mission. They come out of the
same family.
The church has the most
to contribute to the college
"My own feeling," continued Almen, "is that of
all the groups of society with which an institution might
relate, the church has the most to contribute. The state
is often most interested in providing education so as to
enhance the economy. Corporations and professional
associations tend to think mostly in terms of
self-interest.
"The church, on the other hand,. deals with the
whole man. It is one of the roots of Western society
and is probably as enlightened a group as any
conceivable partner in higher education.
"This emphasis on the whole man is heightened by
the fact that church colleges are small enough to make
up their own community. They can be concerned about
the development of persons, not simply the
communication of facts and ideas. The college has
courses in religion. It has a chaplain. The faculty was
chosen because it believes in the kind of educational
climate where a young man or woman can think
through the meaning of life. "This is deliberate. It's
the church college's purpose for existing."

�A SUIDIDer
01 seclusion
Paul Pollaro
Nestled by the rolling hills near Mt. Monadnock,
New Hampshire, an area where the sensitivity for
basic human values is signaled by street signs that warn
of "Caution: Dogs Crossing" and "Deaf Child,"
is the MacDowell Colony, a 400-acre sanctuary for
creative artists in all fields.
Paul PoUaro, chairman of Wagner's progressive art
department, was there this summer-his fourth year at
the colony-painting, drawing, pasting, creating in
the solitude of a woods-locked studio whose only
entrance is a thin winding dirt path, barely wirte enough
for a compact car.
The MacDowell Colony, located in Petersborough,
N. H., is a memorial to Edward MacDowell, called the
first "serious" American composer to achieve a
European reputation. MacDowell, who died in 1908,
had traveled to Boston after J 3 years in France and
Germany "to teach for a living and to compose for
pleasure." But only from mid-June to September could
he find freedom from pupils and recitals for his
creative work.
And much the same can be said of Pollaro, who is
preparing for another one-man show at a Manhattan
gallery.

By Brian Morris
What the colony has to offer the working artist is
what Wordsworth has termed "the self-sufficing power
of Solitude," and what social critic Russell Lynes calls
"an ideal situation in which they (art-makers) can
'do their thing'."
Lynes, writing in Saturday Review,-an issue that
proclaimed: "The arts in the United States today are
in trouble"-theorized "What most of them (artmakers) want ... is more time in which to work at
what they believe is their mission in life. Money, of
course (or not having to worry about money), makes
time and time with talent makes poems and paintings
and short stories and sonatas and sculptures and plays
and novels."
Pollaro agrees. Too many artists today are
transfixed with the idea of "making it," achieving
fame and living off the rewards of their works. "I have
decided that making it is just having the time to work
at your art," Pollaro said, admitting that he feels
the urgency to practice his art and nourish a "something"
inside.
By Pollaro's definition, then, he is "making it." At
his studio, where his only frequent guests are chipmunks,
birds and an occasional porcupine, he maintains a
�tranquil sanctuary where everything is ordered to his
work. Even his living arrangements require not an
ounce of his energy nor a moment of his thought.
You are truly physically
present at your work
"I can get as much as ten hours of work done in a
single day, where it would take a week, maybe two, to
accumulate ten hours at home." At the colony you
seem to lose the sense of urgency of the city; you are
not annoyed with everyday trivialities; you are truly
physically present at your work, " said Pollaro, a
Brooklyn resident.
And that's the way the Colony wants it to be for
its residents. According to George M. Kendall,
MacDowell's director since 1952, the Colony is a
unique concept, that, in a sense, invests in the writer,
the painter, the sculptor, the composer-the artist on
whom the future cultural vitality of the nation depends.
Kendall noted that MacDowell is the oldest
colony of its kind; in fact, only one other similar retreat
exists: Yaddo Colony in Saratoga, N.Y. There are
28 studios on all that acreage which served 103 artists
this past summer for stays ranging from four months
to two weeks.
The director noted , "We could plan many more
studios, but that would defeat the cross fertilization of
artistic ideas that we achieve in our small community
now. " The artists may congregate whenever they likeat breakfast or dinner in a central dining room-as
long as they do not disturb any of the other residents.
Lunch, in a basket, is delivered to the artist's studio.
"We are everlastingly concerned that the artists
can get whatever they need to complete their art,"
Kendall stressed, noting that Pollaro's need for another
wall in his studio for the display of a large painting
was solved in the matter of just a day.
"We like to think that this action is typical. While
it might sound trite, we are as interested in Paul's
success as he is. "
"During the past sixty years," writes Lynes, "an
extraordinary amount of distinguished work has been
done in the colony's studios . .. by such creative talents
as Edward Arlington Robinson, Milton Avery, Aaron
Copland, Thornton Wilder, and James Baldwin .
" It is a place for artists of whatever age who have
demonstrated their professionalism and seriousness of
purpose; it is not for dilettanti or hopefuls," says Lynes,
who is current president of the Colony.
The statement is quite a tribute to Pollaro, whose
contemporaries during his past four summers at the
colony have been, notably, Leonard Bernstein, Peter
Viereck and Lawrence Calcagno.
Pollaro considers his six weeks at the colony this
year as most productive not only in terms of quantity,
but more importantly, in terms of the kind of work he
is creating. During his years at Wagner, which is just
part of a distinguished career as an art teacher, he
was probably known mostly as a collage painter, and
he had achieved a "certain amount of good fortune."
"I seem to have changed last year, " Pollaro said
as he knelt over a huge canvas stapled to the floor of
his studio. "I'm working in a different area nowwith chalks, acrylics, and other media. For the first time
in ten years I'm not working with objects and collages.
"It just started to happen; it will be interesting to
see where it goes. It's rewarding. I enjoy the surprise,
the accident."
The Accident. As he worked on a wall-covering
7
�" I've always admired what might be called oriental
art forms , simplified with a close harmony of color
and subtle changes of tone . The opportunity to work
with this form , in a setting where your head is your
own , and the surprise of what I can do through its usc,
is actually nourishing a part of myself."
"This summer's work, and in fact all my own
experiences, will never be lost," Pollaro continued,
explaining that the growth, development and experimentation of his craft can be given to his students.
While some can attempt to define art in the area of
the classics, art today is constantly changing. There
are new ideas, new media, and new approaches to ideas
which Pollaro feels have to be conveyed to the art
student. "1 can't say that this is art and another is not
art. I can only introduce every area of what might be art
to the student and he has to . .. well, he has to do
his own thing. "
Much of the progression of the art department at
Wagner during the past year, and the plans to make the
coming year even more forward, can be credited to the
enthusiasm Pollaro has brought to the chairman's desk.
His energies have led to curriculum changes, most
of which are designed to make the student aware of all
art forms. For example, a single photography course
initiated in the spring '70 semester, has been expanded
this fall to include a course in still photography and
its relationship to visual communication and a second
course offering in film making that will include film
production.
Perhaps we can establish
a year-round gallery
banner, while it was still on the floor, he stepped on
it with his bare feet. "I guess the paint was not
completely dried, and I left my footprints on the canvas.
So I incorporated the footprin'ts into the work."
PoIlaro's area of interest now is creating paintings
along the lines of the Thang-Kas, embroidered banners
that appeared in Tibetan art around the tenth century.
High on his list of goals for the coming year at
Wagner is the establishment of a gallery on the campus
that will serve the Staten Island community. "We've
had a bit of good luck in the past year helping our
students present one-man shows of their work and
with the initial opening of the gallery in the union with
a faculty art show.
" Perhaps in the coming year we can establish a
year-round gallery for the community to help nurture
their awareness of all art forms."
Pollaro's only possible regret about this past
summer is that he will not be able to re-apply to the
MacDowell Colony for the coming summer. After initial
acceptance, an artist is allowed to re-apply nine more
times, but is not allowed more than three consecutive
visits. Pollaro has completed his third consecutive year.

Football: Despite an opening day 23-7 loss at
C. W. Post, and the 17-13 shock by the Greyhounds of
Moravian, the 1970 football Seahawks are compiling
probably the best spectator football since the 1967
undefeated season , particularly in the come-from-behind
play that set back Albright and powerhouses Kings
Point and Springfield. The Seahawks have won most of
their games with a series of big plays-long bursts by
.I ack Kachadurian who has five I OO-plus yardage games
to his credit; bombs to wide receivers Howie Wilkinson
and Bill Piper; key interceptions by the secondary and
inspired play by the defensive wall. The story of the
Wagner wins seems to be in the fourth period where
the Seawhawks have tallied 71 points while limiting
opponents to two TO's.
�Soccer: Coach Bill Lied was looking forward to at
least a .500 season, but the returning players from
1969 "seemed to disappear over the summer." The '70
Soccer squad has been forced to go with a "green"
team, and of, course, the record shows it: one win, one
tie and seven losses. "We should have a fine nucleus
for next year, what with all the freshmen and
sophomores we're starting this year. We've only been
shut out once and with three exceptions, all our games
have been close. "
Basketball: With the loss of Ray Hodge and the
unexpected departure of some other veterans, Coach
Chester Sellitto is building his 1970-71 team "from
scratch." Some promising junior college graduates have
eased his woes a bit, along with the development of four
freshman team starters from last year. Gene Guerriero,
senior captain, should be the steadying force on the
floor. But the Seahawks, who will try to rebound from
an 11-14 record, must face a tougher schedule including
Philadelphia Textile, the nation's top college division
team, in the second game of the season .
Wrestling: Bill Lied is looking forward to his finest
wrestling season in quite a while with the return of
Art Zinicola, Gary Bradfield and a host of other
characters who bring talent and showmanship to the
mats. Bradfield, for one, likes to sport a Mohican haircut
during the season. Paul Garcia seems to dance around
the mats. Fans can almost see the psychology floating
in the air.

Managing Editor
Staten Island Advance
One of the fascinating byproducts of student
unrest on campus has been the flourishing of "grandstand quarterbacks," notably among alumni. Very
few of them are without an opinion. It was not
unexpected among some because they have always
been articulate, in their years on campus and ever
since. Among others, some of whom had never expressed an opinion even in the most controversial
classes, it is a bit surprising.
Our sympathy goes out to the college administrators. The struggle on the field is tough enough
without the heated cries from the onlookers. "What
in the world are you doing?" "Wipe 'em out! "
"Don't give in. " "Racist!" "Throw the bums (management) out."
And, like the disgruntled fan at the disappointing football game, some want their money back at
the gate. Stay loose, friends , stay loose. It's only the
first half of the opening game, and there's a long
season ahead.
It's a different kind of ball game
Some alumni have disassociated themselves from
their colleges (until it's to their advantage to resume
relations) and others have used the unrest as a reason for terminating financial support and recruitment. The tough part about this is that the old college
team may be able to survive the cries from the crowd,
but it still needs the receipts at the gate.
Perhaps it's the newness of it all. Alumni are not
accustomed to having the problems of society and the
streets spilling over on to the campus. In yesteryear,
there was a sharp line, for the campus dealt only
with the theory. There are few such distinctions now.
12
It's a 'different kind of a ball game. Few in the
campus community stand on the sidelines; most take
part in one way or another and not merely with rahrah cries. The spotlight may be on the student shouts
of social injustices and the student excesses, but the
action is much more involved. It's no longer unusual
to see a faculty member joining the students on the
ramparts, or to discover students who are in equally
strong s) mpathy with the administration's position.
This is one time you need a scorecard to keep track
of the players.
Concern must be matched
with understanding
Concerned alumni are very important. We don't
think anyone wants them to be unconcerned, but
c.Jnccrn must be matched with understanding. "Our
times" have spread to the campus. Jt's obvious that
a generation with new ideas and interests has arrived.
College administrators are not miracle coaches. It
takes time and cautious experimentation to find the
winning formula. Can they be expected to achieve,
in less time, what politicians with their bags of tricks
have been unable to do?
This is not intended to be apol ogia for what has
been going on. But I'm tired of having people demand of me with set jaw, "What are you going to
do about what's happening at Wagner College?"
"Nothing," is my reply, " Unless I can lend a helping
hand." It's a tough ball game and the tense staff
doesn 't need my uninformed yammering in its ears
when delicate decisions must be made and action
taken.
�The National Scene
Reporting on: advice to alumni on campus unrest
a critical money shortage for colleges and universities
• Alumni Responsibility: Pointing to a need for
"reconciliation" as its central theme, the President's Commission on Campus Unrest addressed
its recent report to many segments of the campus
community, as well as to political leaders and the
general public.
"Even when there is no disorder on the campus," the commission said, all those involved in
higher education must accept "greater responsibility for the well-being and revitalization" of
academic institutions. The panel, headed by William W. Scranton, former governor of Pennsylvania, offered this advice to alumni:
-That they "refrain from hasty judgments on
complex university problems and . . . avoid
stereotyping entire groups because of the actions
of a few of their members. "
-That alumni not insist " that universities remain changeless, or be surprised if their institutions are not the same as they were when the
alumni were students."
-That "constructive criticism and sustained
financial support from alumni are essential to the
vitality" of colleges and universities, many of
which are in an "unprecedented financial
squeeze." The commission added that "disagreement with specific university policies or actions
should not lead alumni to withdraw their general
support from higher education."
Speaking more generally, the panel warned that
continued intolerance and hostility between young
people and other citizens would threaten the "very
survival of the nation." It called on President
Nixon to use the prestige of his office to "urge
all Americans, at once, to step back from the
battlelines into which they are forming."
By the time the President received the commission's report, his views on campus violence
already had received wide public attention. In a
speech at Kansas State University, he declared
that only the academic community-not the government-could "save" higher education. In a
subsequent letter to educators, he said there
could be "no substitute for the acceptance of
responsibility" by college administrators and faculties for campus order.
Then, in a surprise move, the President asked
Congress to authorize immediate federal intervention in cases of campus bombings and arson. The
request was quickly approved and signed into law,
although some legislators warned that it could
result in "prowling FBI agents" and encourage an
"aura of repression."
• Hitting Bottom? The long-expected "financial
crisis" in higher education has struck with such
force this year that college administrators can
scarcely find words strong enough to describe it.
"The Day of Judgment is upon us," says one. "It
is here-now." Another says the money shortage
is so grave that it outranks student dissent as the
main problem of the 1970's.
The situation is acute because several factors
have come together at the same time. Inflation,
soaring educational costs, declining stock prices,
lagging federal aid, public hostility to increased
state support-all have combined to put a tremendous drain on institutional budgets, especially
those of private colleges. At least a score of
colleges have closed in the past year or so, and
many others report substantial operating deficits.
With tuition rising almost everywhere, small
private colleges seem to be in particular danger
of pricing themselves out of business. Admissions
people report an accelerating shift of enrollments
from such institutions to state universities and to
low-cost community colleges close to students'
homes. A growing number of private institutions
have had to seek state support to supplement their
income from private sources.
At the established public institutions, meanwhile, officials say that the steady rise of state
aid in recent years has failed to keep pace with
their expanding needs. State appropriations for
higher education's operating expenses in 1970-71
have topped $7-billion-a new high-but for
many public institutions that apparently is not
adequate. "Austerity operations are becoming a
fact of life," says one of their associations.
Federal aid is not picking up much of the
slack. A government agency reports that the
growth of U.S. financial support, which averaged
about 24 per cent in the mid-sixties, has slowed
considerably since then.
Limited Access: Despite the addition of some
600 colleges and universities in a lO-year period,
more than half a million high school graduates a
year fail to continue their education "simply because they happen not to live near an accessible
college," according to a study by the College Entrance Examination Board. It showed that only
789 of 2,600 two- and four-year institutions in
the country could meet the test of "accessibility"
-nonselective, within reasonable commuting distance, and costing no more than $400 a year in
tuition and fees.
