-cs 5-1 cu 3 Jan Bruce Wilkinson g a o 3 Joseph Dr. What do Jan Ward's music students do when they just don't feel like going to class? They kidnap Miss Ward and take her out to lunch. But that doesn't mean students don't en- joy her class. In fact, they appreciate her as both a teacher and a friend. You don't have to know her very long to see that she employs creativity in everything she does. Taking pictures is one of her favorite hobbies. On her trip to the Holy Land last summer, she took over 750 slides. Most of all, students are thankful for Jan Ward's understanding nature, especially those who take lessons from her. He's the jumping bean of the Bible cir- cuit. Baltimore. Chicago. Houston. Give him a weekend and he's on the go. His now familiar Walk Through the Bible, has become a by-word on and off campus. In class he is still rapid-fire. Do you understand? You do? Then you C he points to a shocked student! explain it to the whole class? He smiles, thumb and forefinger to his lips. An unsatisfactory answer brings a quick review or another approach to an explana- tion. Then again the question, Understand'?l' His whole life is given that people may know and understand. ' Dr. Joseph Wong-the slow-moving, fast- talking man on campus. For an academic dean, he has quite a sense of humor. He's the great hunter of Multnomah-everything from ducks to bear. Always full of Chinese jokes, he keeps his classes rolling or writing. One of his favorites is the liberals have sweaty, greasy mouths, the Chinese have sweaty, greasy palms. Dr. Wong's place of escape on campus is the journalism building where he reads magazines. He's humble. He's funny. He's academic power. tHe also gives a mean testl. He's Dr. Wong.

Carl Thompson Famous story-teller, successful free- lance writer, gifted radio speaker, and knowledgeable history buff-that's Ethel Barrett. Arriving in Portland from her beach home in sunny southern California, Ethel Barrett brought along some sunshine-in more ways than one. Ethel Barrett came to MSB as a well- known speaker and author, but she still proved her already-granted right to be heard. She immediately won the respect and pin-drop-silent attentiveness of her 1,000-plus audience. Carl Thompson She recreated the past, letting us step into it, allowing us to be carried in the hip pocket of famous saints from long ago. History took on a new meaning. It became relevant, important, and profitable. Ethel Barrett tugged on the heart strings of even the most unemotional of us. Was it only coincidence when, on the first day as she told the story of D. L. Moody, every man's man in the audience had something in his eye? Even the poorest listeners couldn't help but glean tips galore on key principles to a successful ministry for Christ. It's doubtful Fall lcaebtunealiiiga Talented journalist, witty speaker and in- credible administrator - that's Moody Monthly's Managing Editor - Jerry Jenkins. Dubbing Jenkins as incredible isn't a gross exaggeration or apple-polishing flattery - it's fact. Assuming a key editorial position on one of the nation's leading evangelical magazines is im- pressive. But to do it at the age of 26 - that's phenomenal. Upon leaving a wintry Chicago, Jenkins was pleasantly surprised to find a cloudless, springy Portland. tHe wasn't the only one.l Jenkins didn't ride into chapel on a blanket of fame insuring a favorable recep- tion. Like Daniel, he was cast into a den of lions. And, like Daniel, he came out not only unscathed, but with a new host of admirers. Even the backsliders who were having their usual study hall wound up closing their books. After all, it's hard to read and laugh at a punch line at the same time. All in all, Jenkins proved that a tux and a pair of old brown shoes weren't such a bad combina- tion. No older than many Multnomah students, Jenkins was able to boast of only a few Carl Thompson 47 M55
