THE ECHO Page 2

Editorial As editor of Taylor University's

ECHO, I'm coming to grips with a very disturbing problem. The problem centers around this ques­tion: Is the ECHO to be a news­paper that is applicable to all the Taylor community or is it to be a weekly literary magazine under the premise of newspaper?

Each week, as I read the copy coming in to be printed, I get dis­turbed at the quality of its news-worthiness. If the football team loses an article should be written as to the reason why, and what the team is planning to do to correct the problems. But, the ECHO has no article if we lose, and if we win its always written with an editori­al twist on how to support the team. You're probably thinking this is a staff problem, but it is the result of me letting my staff con­form to the expected style of the ECHO.

Problems exist at Taylor Uni­versity. Some problems should not be articulated in the ECHO, but on the other hand, some news is not nice. We, as the TU community should be able to accept news for its news-value and at the same time be willing to attempt to cor­rect the problems that the news has brought to our attention.

A transition of this sort would be difficult over a short period of

November 14,1980 time, but with the concentrated and conscious effort of adminis­tration, faculty, and students, I be­lieve a 'newspaper' could be published at Taylor.

I am proud of the Christian standards that TU holds, and I be­lieve that an excellent news publi­cation can glorify God.

Let me state, with utmost vigor, that I abhor muckraking. I am a positive person with positive goals, and I believe Taylor con­veys positive goals.

I want The ECHO to consist of in-depth, well-researched articles concerning issues relevant to TU. Let's not msc our Christianity as an icing to sugar coat news items. Education is vital to us if we are going to live in the world. How can we, as university students, call, ourselves educated if we are not aware of the world outside of the Taylor community? I feel The ECHO could play an important part in highlighting the major events in the world each week.

Finally, I believe my problem with The ECHO lies with its goal. Is there one? If its goal is to re­main as it is now, which is an opi­nionated rendition of news, fine. But, if the goal could be as I have stated/a newspaper' then let us all work toward that goal. I alone cannot meet it.

Voice of the Voice

The "In" Thing To Do Brad Koenig Paul Davis is not a Christian.

Neither are the Commodores. But they both sing what we would think of as "Christian" songs.

Bruce Cockburn, Kerry Liv-gren (of Kansas), Cliff Richard, B.J. Thomas, Billy Preston, Birtles and Goble (of the Little River Band), and Debby Boone are Christians, but they don't ex­clusively perform songs with Ch­ristian lyrics.

There's a lot of confusion about the motives of these entertainers. Sometimes we are guilty of jump­ing to condemning conclusions. Other times, we are so gullible that we accept any hint of Christi­anity with lauding approval. Both attitudes are extremes.

Paul Davis says,"I know a lot of people say you have to have a born-again experience, but that's not so for me . . .1 haven't had to straighten my life in any big way."

"Do Right" was just a personal song really. I wasn't trying to make a contemporary religious or spiritual hit song. There wasn't, any plan in it at all. . . My viewp­oint on stuff like that is who cares? I mean, I don't care if a derelict wrote it - - if it touches somebody, you know?"

Another recent surprise was the appearance of three "gospel" songs on the new Commodores' LP: "Heroes" (Motown). The re­mainder of the album consists of Get down, make love" mentality.

Group leader, Lionel Ritchie wrote the soulful "Jesus is Love," about which he told ROLLING STONE, "I was never really in­volved in gospel music when I was growing up, but I guess some of it rubbed off on me and came out in the song." And how can we forget the group's Schlitz commercial?

Now, why do some Christians record both secular and Christian music? Cliff Richard says, "I keep thinking that when Jesus was here, they told him, "You're a reli­gious man. You should be in the temple, not there with the prosti­tutes, sinners and tax collectors."

They still say it today, "You're a Christian, you should only be sing­ing gospel music." But Jesus has liberated me."

Beeb Birtles and Graham Gobel, two members of the Little River Band are Christians and have released a duo under the name Birtles and Goble: "The Last Romance"(Capitol). They still belong to the band, however. Says Beeb, "Both Graham and I feel that God is at work here in this band."

"The Last Romance" has only two Christian songs on it. Birtles explains, "We felt that if we had a chance at all, we would sell to a certain amount of fans who were LRB fans, and of course having a

Vfuc

few Christian songs on that album would make those people really think, "Why are they singing about Jesus?" If we're kind of mu­sical missionaries, then we should be trying to get our message across to people who are non-Ch­ristians; to try and save them, to try and change their ways.

"Most Christians will find the rest of the album lacking in spiri­tual significance. The tunes are basically either love songs or love forelorn. Things get exciting on a rendition of Randy Newman's "He Gives Us All His Love" and Birtle's "Into My Life."

The disc is very commercial-sounding and fits right into the groove of "Reminiscing" and "Lady." The two artists are smooth craftsmen.

Now to the most controversial album of the year: "Robin Lane and the Cartbusters" (Warner Brothers). Robin Lane says that

she is a Christian; and the other four band members are not. CCM magazine calls her music "re demptive rock."Far be it from me to start a witch hunt, but I could not disagree more.

Lane says, "The term, "born-again Christian" comes from the New Testament . . . It's a revela tion but it's not like something weird happens . . .1 really believe in Jesus, but I still smoke." We can not condemn her smoking, but we can raise some serious ques tions from her lyrics.

Yes, it is possible to squeeze some redemptive value out of a few cuts, but squeeze you must. Nevertheless, any spiritual pro­gress made is blatantly demol­ished by the gutteral, raunchy negativism of the majority of the material.

She sings, "Well, I'll do any­thing you tell me to do; you can asassinate my mind; I've got the goods, if you've got the time. I'm waiting in line."

"Don't Wait Till Tomorrow" is just as demeaning. "You turned your face and from the headlights flashing I could see within your eyes a smile. Is that for me; I know it isn't love, but I'm in a rare mood tonight. So don't wait too long."

I think the meaning is clear: trash. But apparently others don't see it that way. Redemptive? Not in my Bible dictionary.

We're in a day when Christian music is becoming the "in" thing to do. I recall Jesus warning us of false prophets. Keep your guard.

New Addition to Religion and Philosophy Department by Herbert Nygren

We are pleased to have as an adjunct member of the Depart­ment of Religion and Philosophy, Mr. Gene Wittig, a missionary with OMS for many years. Mr. Wittig will teach two courses, both offered on Thursday: Studies in Latin America, 10:00-11:50, and the Christian World Mission, 2:0f-4:30.

These courses are designed not only for students who have a ca­reer interest in missions, but also for students who have a desire to know more about Latin American Religion and about the growth of the missionary movement around the world.

Mr. Wittig has spent many years in the Latin American Mis­sions. He is the father of Karen, a major in the Departement of Reli­gion and Philosophy, with a con­centration in Christian Education.

The average adult has 8 to 12 pints of blood in his body, depending on weight. A normal donation of about one pint is not missed. In a few hours the body replaces the fluid loss, and in approximately six weeks the lost red cells are re­generated. Donating blood takes only about four to ten minutes on the donor couch, and there are no unpleasant after effects. One may donate blood as often as six times a year. Less than one hour of time is required for this rewarding ex­perience.

Just knowing that such a gift can be life giving to someone in need makes donating blood worthwhile. There is nearly al­ways a shortage of blood because there are never enough donors. And, to be lifesaving, blood must always be available in the blood bank before it is needed at hospit­als. The person who donates in ad­vance of need is truly a very special person-the one person in forty who cares enough to save a life.

So, sign up soon "before Thanksgiving break" at the secre­tary's desk in the Student Union. Please be prompt for this very im­portant appointment!

Marathon Runners Compete by Michael Becker

Three Taylor Track Club run­ners went to Louisville, Kentucky last weekend to run in the Metro Parks Marathon.

Mike Becker, Tim Bowman and Bob Scheerer attempted to com­plete the 26-mile 365-yard course in under two hours and 50 minutes to qualify for the marathon.

Becker dropped out at ten miles after struggling with sick­ness from the five mile on. It was his third marathon.

Bowman ran an excellent race. He finished the race in 2.52:51 just 2:51 short of qualifying for the Boston. He said that he was

pleased. Bowman's time was 2:48 faster than his previous best. He has run five full marathons.

Bowman was able to hold a qualifying pace of 6:29 until the 23rd mile where he had to back off the pace to average 6:35 a mile.

Scheerer ran his first marathon in just under 3.15. Although far from the 2.50:00 he needed for Bos ton, he was pleased with his time.

The greatest single factor af­fecting their race was the heat. The ideal temperature for the long-distance event is 45 degrees. The temperature last Sunday was a very warm 75 degrees.
