SOII Con Robin P: I-a 5 -Q Vi 21 Q VJ Hugh Sauerwein Dan Con Robinson is Multnomah's voice on Dr. John Mitchell's daily radio program. Responsible for preparing the program each day, Robinson combines the best from Multnomah's student music with a short appeal for student scholarship funds, a reminder about an upcoming concert, or an invitation to Multnomah's evening school classes, then turns the mike over to Dr. Mitchell. Fall semester, Robinson passed on some of his knowledge to students in a brand-new, two-hour class called Radio Production. Hugh Salisbury, the hitchhiker evangelist, is also the Francis Schaeffer of MSB. His suit, vest, and long side burns make him look something out of a Dickens novel, You might even describe him as up town style. In contrast to his clothes, he conducts his classes informally and gets into many dis- cussions. His sideline hobby is picking up hitchhikers and witnessing to them, or leading gas station attendants to the Lord. Witnessing is a way of life to him. To be with Mr. Salisbury is to get a feel of his love for people and the need of their souls. A tennis Hpron, he was named the winner of the first annual MSB faculty tennis match. lf asked to describe Mr. Sauerwein most people would describe him as the shy, quiet man on campus. He's gentle. A gentle man with a lion heart. He leaves you with an im- pression that you've been with a man of God. He comes fresh from his two-acre farm each morning to instruct his students in the Word. He's concerned that his students under- stand the message that he is presenting. Sauerwein loves to keep his audience spellbound as he tells of the Great Banquet in the sky. His hobby is studying Revela- tion. A verse that really describes Sauerwein, said one student, is James 1:19- . . . slow to anger. He never loses his cool! is Jerry Prouty Jerry Prouiy .

And things don't seem to upset him much. He just takes life in stride. Other things students associate with Mr. Pearson are: daily take-home quizzes, a pair of white shoes, a height of 6'2 , and a love for missions. Former missionary to British Honduras, Mr. Pearson now heads up Multnomah's missions department, teaching missions as well as Bible. Mr. Lewis Randal, the man who during orientation week gives students a lecture on how to use the library, has been describ- ed by some of them as one of the kindest, most humble men we've ever met. Besides his normal heavy responsibilities as school librarian, Mr. Randal has recently been closely involved with Multnomah's ad- ministration on the huge task of making plans for the school's proposed new library. A real gentleman, Mr. Randal mows his lawn in a white shirt and a tie, and tips his hat to ladies. He's a man of minute detail, another student said, a true perfectionist. . Ask Dean F. Pamela Reeve tno one knows what the F. stands forl what is most important and she will say, Live life to the hilt and become all that God wants you to be. When you write a letter, she tells the women, when you do your hair, when you think, don't just do it in the same old way-do it creatively? And Miss Reeve practices what she teaches. Her appointment book is always full weeks in advance because she has creative answers to student's problems. Her knowledge of layout and design allows her to create artistic overhead transparan- cies for visual aids. I love lifef' she says. I absolutely love it P -s 5 PI0 swag U0 9'I sim IUPUBH aa:-mag elaumd

It's hard to imagine how a sweet, gentle man like Athletic Director Jim Skagen can turn out the kind of disciplined teams that wins championships. But win they do. During the '72-'73 basket- ball season, Multnomah earned a first in league play, first in the regional tourna- ment, and first in the West Coast National Small College Tournament. A public relations man from the word go , Skagen never leaves anyone without a word of praise. And the same goes for his basketball team. He makes sure to en- courage each of them on their particular performance after every game. As director of the Christian service department, Mr. Lester Spencer is respon- sible for seeing to it that every single stu- dent find a place of service, get instruction re his assignment on a regular basis, and receive individual attention concerning it. Besides his heavy administrative respon- sibilities, Mr. Spencer takes time to counsel students who come to him for advice. He's a refreshing person to talk to, one student said. You know that he really listens to what you have to say because of the in- terested and careful way that he answers. And that man's really got a lot of wisdom. Few students seem to know John VanDeist, but his presence is felt in various ways. We are a large body, and we conse- quently have many parts, none of which are indispensible. Our Christian Supply Bookstore on cam- pus is a manifestation of him. He is the director of all the Christian Supply stores, and as such, his work is not always seen, nor is it associated with him. VanDeist is a willing and capable teacher. He has helped us by substituting for long-illness-struck teachers. A former member of the pastoral staff at Portland's Central Bible Church, he is a seeming 'tjack-of-all-trades, and a blessing for us because he has mastered many.
