Show moreThe Augsburg Echo Vol. LXXVI Budget Chilled Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota, December 5 1969 Number 5 Fall Deficit Creates “Red Sea" by Darrell Skogen As the winter freeze settles over the Augsburg campus, a similar freeze may well chill the budget of the Augsburg Student S o c i e t y. Losses totaling over $14,000 on the two fall concerts put the Student Society in a Red Sea from which there seems little hope of easy es- cape. Actions were taken to put the budget back in the black, but those actions quickly proved inoperative. How did the Student Society get into its fiscal bind? What has been done to try and get out of it? What will be done to insure no such hap- penings recurring in the future? These are the questions I am at- tempting to answer in this “explan- atory editorial." Before I begin, however, it is necessary to make some important statements of purpose. Too often in the past the intent of the editor of the Echo has been misunderstood by students (especially in govem- ment) too slow to catch the deeper meanings behind what is being said. Thus the following statements are necessary: 1) This article will follow a spe- cific outline and is divided into two major sections. 1. How did the problem develop? A. Budget considerations t his fall. B. Concert problems. C. Proposed solutions. II. Student and editorial opinion. Section one will consist of straight exposition, with no editorial com- ment involved in any way. Sources for information include discussions with Larhae Grindal, Ron Martin- son. my own attendance at council and committee meetings, and dis- cussions with other persons highly interested in the doings of govern- ment. The idea is to present the facts I have gathered as impartial- ly as possible. The second part involves opinions of students, and ultimately my par- ticular ideas. Some may argue that this entire section should be kept separate from the expository seg- ment; I believe that they have to be put together so that the readers will be informed at the same time that they read opinions. The inter- change between the students in dis- cussing the matter can only im- prove a steadily worsening situa- tion. If you wish, read the first section and ignore the comments after- wards. Or, if you wish. read the opinions too. I could care less how people react to what I say; I do care that they react to the facts. Let me remind each member of the Student Society that the Student Council has tight reins over $37,000 of YOUR money: and the reins seem to be getting slacker and slacker as the year progresses. Con- sider that when another election rolls around this spring. 2) The FACTUAL material pre- sented is not meant to condemn any particular person as responsible for the present situation. I have my own ideas concerning this point: those ideas will be placed in their appropriate section. 3) I encourage response to me concerning this whole issue. Stop me in the halls, write me n letter. call me in my office. or floor me with a snowball. But respond. If you fellow members of the student body luck of concern which you have in the past. show that flagrant this sort of thing will keep happen- ing in the future. Help ME put pressure on goi'cmment to make it more responsible to YOU. Remem- ber. I'm supposed to be your voice: if I don't hear you. my voice re- mains just that —my own wcnk. confused, and unhccdc-d voicc. Budget Discussions in Background for Later It is important to explain just how the Student Society gets its money. Each full time student pays a $100 general fee. The Student So- ciety thus receives $25 from each of the full time students through the College Treasurer‘s office. The payments come on a term basis. however; one third of the total is given each term, and the total fig- ure government gets varies with the number of full-time students enrolled from term to term. For example, if there were 10 full time students enrolled in the fall, the allotment would be one third of $250 (10 students times $25). If there were five students the next term, the allotment would be one third of $125. Thus, budget considerations for Student Society must necessarily be a flexible thing. This year's council has worked off a total figure of $37,500. Projec- tions last spring w o u l d h a v e brought a budget of about $42,000, but enrollment was down quite a bit this fall, with a resulting drop in budget projection. THE FOLLOWING budget was passed this fall so that operations could begin. We print it here since so few students have seen a copy of it. The budget was approved September 29, three weeks into the term. SUITABLE FOR eptember Set onetary Woes l. Commissions 1. Community Relations 2. Program 3. Religious Activities 4.

In publications, for example, the total budget figure in the past year (including salar- ies) had been $26,085; this broke down to $11,890 for the Echo, $14,- 195 for the Augsburgian, and noth- ing for the darkroom. The new fig- ures (plus salaries) make a total of $21,860, broken down further to Echo $6200 (counting on $3800 ad: vertising for a total of $10,000, which is a $2000 cut overall or a $6000 cut in Student Society funds allotted to it); Augsburgian $8850 —a $5345 cut; and Darkroom $5810 (including $4760 spent during the summer months for new equipment and film supplies). Had $4800 not been added to buy the new dark- room equipment, the budget cut in evere, Pat Paulsen and First Edition Put Student Society in $14,000-Plus Bind The immediate cause of the fi- nancial troubles student govern- ment finds itself in now is the fail- ure of both the Paul Revere and the Raiders concert and the exceeding- ly unsuccessful Pat Paulsen and the First Edition concert. Loss on the first concert amounted to $4,- 500; on the second one not all the hills were in at press time, but the loss had hit the figure of $9000 plus with a few small bills outstanding. The total estimated loss at the No- vember 17 meeting of council was $14,090. The substantial part of the bills had been received, though, and this figure should remain fairly sta- ble now. It now becomes important to no- tice that no funds are budgeted for big name entertainment. The Stu- dent Society suddenly had $14,000 worth of bills coming in; the fall term payment from the Treasurer‘s office only had a balance of $6500 left, and government had other bills outstanding. For example, the Echo bill with Ken Sorenson Print- ing had remained outstanding through the summer, finally being paid (to the tune of $2700) in 0c- tober, four and one half months overdue. Other bills languished on the desk of the Student Society treasurer Bruce Olson. The outlook was indeed bleak. WHAT HAD happened? Why were the groups chosen to perform that were? Why was so much mon- ey lost? These were big questions. Tod Hanson, as Big Name Enter- tainment Committee C h air in a n (chairing a committee which con- sisted of only himself and George Dnhlman) had ultimate responsibil- ity. In the last meeting of the spring, authority was granted to sign four contracts for the upcom— ing year. Everything was left up to Hanson's discretion, under the general directions provided by the following resolution (passed earli- er in the year): Resolution: Sponsored by George Dahlman BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED THAT THESE SUGGESTIONS BE ADAPTED AS FORMAL STU- DENT SOCIETY PROCEDURES.

C. MONIES FROM THE CONCERTS 1. All profits shall go into a reserve fund established by the Student Society. 2. There shall be double check- ing of profits through books kept by the Student Society Treasurer and the Program Commissioner. 3. In the fall of each year the Program Commissioner shall present a bid for a percent- age of the previous year’s concert profits. This will be based on the total shown af- ter the closing of the previ- ous year’s books. 4. The reserve fund shall be used for general Student So- ciety funds, reinvestment in concerts, and handling of the requested percentage by the Program Commissioner. At any rate, Tod and George be- gan work over the summer. Johnny Rivers was apparently set for Oc- tober 5, until he fired his business manager. Paul Revere was thus a last minute replacement. Apparent- ly Pat Paulsen and the First Edi- tion had been a little more care- fully planned, since the college had committed itself to a concert Octo- ber 31 for the A001 convention. When the time finally came, the convention left the show off its pro- ‘ publications would have been a to- tal of $9025 rather than a final fig- ure of $4225. Program Commission, the second largest user of budget money in student government, absorbed a cut of $1550 from $10,000 to $8450. While I didn't find out exact break- down figures in past years for Pro- gram, 1 did get those for this year. The figures are as follows: Recreation Committee $ 500 Promotion 600 Hospitality 250 Fine Arts 1100 Forum and Lectures 2100 Social 3700 Miscellaneous 200 Total $8450 It should be noted that there is NO allotment for Big Name Enter- tainment. This will be discussed more fully later. gram, because the delegates were 1.33 expected to buy tickets instead of gaining free admittance. In the first week of the school year, though, ‘ (dinning 0 t: 7:. contracts were signed for t h o s e i ‘ first two concerts and for an April one with Glen Yarhrough. Th e fourth date remained open. No significant attempt was made to get student opinion. Hanson re— ported to council that a spring poll had shown a preference for a rock band. Paul Revere and the Raiders were rated fifth in the nation among rock bands; however, the audience which put them there was probably not in the college age group. When L a r h a e questioned whether the concert was aimed at the students or towards making money, a lengthy debate ensued in which Tod claimed that concerts were meant to make money. The by-laws of Program Commission, however, state that “The Big Name Entertainment Committee shall be responsible to provide popular, pro- fessional entertainment for the stu- dents’ enjoyment and cultural en- hancement. PLANS FOR the first concert continued d e s p i t e this disagree- ment. At an early council meeting, Hanson presented a report claiming the projected loss would amount to only $3800, but that it would hope- fully be made up for with some to spare on the Paulsen concert. After the concert, Tod did not give La- ,3? rhae a detailed report because, in her words, he “wanted to deal with both concerts as a whole." Larhae couldn't get any answers out of George or Tod, partially because of her own assumption that if things were going badly she would be in- formed by those working under her. Things might have turned out okay, but a loss on the Paulsen con- cert paled the budget situation. of prime importance here is the fact that during the last few days of selling tickets, Hanson “papered the house” to make a big enough audience to make things look re~ spectable. About 333 complimen- tary tickeas were given out (total- ing $1843 while about 700 people paid $3633 to see the event. The total of 1000 people present hardly filled Melby to its capacity of 3000 plus. Council Makes Bold Move; Loan Attempt Falls Through At the regularly scheduled meet- ing on November 11, the council was presented with a five step pro- posal which stressed a budget cut of $7400, counted on a $3100 profit from the Yarhrough concert, and a short term loan from a non-bank private institution to make up the remainder of the debt. Along with these points was the idea of spon— soring more small cost e v e n t s which would pick up a few dollars here and there. The only action which could be taken was taken after two hours of crying; the proposal was ignored temporarily while a committee was set up to look into the possibilities of an $8000 loan, to report back by the following Monday at a special meeting. In the next breath, the council approved a resolution to go on record as supporting giving the Black Student Union $700. 0N NOVEMBER 17 the special meeting was held. The committee chaired by Mark Francis, reported back a proposal to be discussed. The proposal called for a $3000 cut in Program Commission, a cut of $7600 in the Augsburgian (leaving only $100 for whatever expenses had been incurred), a cut in the International Students Board of $50, a cut in administrative ex- penses of $50, a $40 cut in the sen- ior class allotment, a $250 cut in the salary of the yearbook editor, and a $100 cut in the salary of the associate editor of that book. The total c u t proposed amounted to $11,540. When added to the miscellaneous fund figure of $2625 (the Junior- Senior Prom had been sacked the week before to make that fund per- manent) a total of $14,155 was amassed to ofiset a loss of $14,090. A loan was recommended also, with the amount to be left up to council. (continued on page 3) Show less

As expected, MIAC champ St. John's captured the team title with 34 points, but not without a spirited battle from runner-up St. Cloud State (52). The shining star once again for the Auggies was sophomore Jerry Beckman, who placed sixth. Coach Howie Pearson praised Beckman's performance, saying, “He ran a tough race every meet this fall— but this was his best If he keeps improving the way he has these past two seasons, he will be the best distance runner we've ever hall at Augsburg.

Howie Pearson was also pleased by the steady improvement made by soph Tim Peterson throughout the season “Tim finished twentieth in the District 13 meet and it will be nice to have him coming back next fall. “GARY WILDE will also be back next year, and he has the most na- tural potential of all our returning men. He did a good job, taking twenty-second as a freshman, and I'm sure he will continue to im- prove next season." In summing up his team's per- formance this fall, Pearson made quite clear just how proud he is of his charges. “The entire team im- proved a great deal since last year. We lost only one conference dual meet and that was to the best team ever to run in our conference — St. John’s. It's no disgrace losing to a team that may well win the na- tional title. We are still hoping to get the opportunity to run in the NAIA national meet on the 22nd."

He says that “hippies are the prophetic voices of the beautiful race to come." third straight conference title are Tom Howe, Ron Johnson, Pat Mar- cy, Bill Hickman and Larry Stew- art. The hockey team, coached by Ed Saugestad, lost some 5 t r e n g t h through graduation, but Terry Holmes, Mick Thorstenson, Al De- Wolf, Bruce Murray and Corky Hall all return this year. In addi— tion, Saugestad has some tough frosh, like Bill Lundgren, who are planned on to help a great deal. The Auggies should give Gustavus and St. Mary's another rough bat- tle for honors this year. The basketball team is young this year, with only seven letter- men returning. Mike Haag is ex- pected to start at center, while John Ewert should also see a lot of action at forward. Randy John- son, Dave Lehrke, Gary Syverson and Bruce Wessman all play for- ward, and the competition will be rough for the starting position. The other returning letter-man is Dick Kelly, who has returned to Augs- burg this fall after a spell in the service. Once again the buckets team has a lot of freshmen backing it up. With no seniors on the roster and only three juniors, the Auggies may be too young to win consis- tently this year. They will, how- ever, present tough opposition for every team in the league. Puckmen Face Alums in First Ice by Mike anrs For most Auggie sports fans the premiere chance to see the hockey squad in action will be December 12 at 8:30 p.m. at the Metropolitan Ice Center in the annual Varsity- Alumni battle. The alumni will feature such greats as four time all-MIAC per- former Jerry Peterson, 1968 co- captains Jefi' Elavsky and Lynn Gunderson, and the 1969 tri-cap- tains John Harden, Tom Iverson and Mark Sateren—all of whom Were all-conference players.

This n u c l e u s backed by many other proven vet- Bafl'le erans and a group of blue-chip freshmen make the hockey outlook this year evry promising.

With each Apollo mission, we come closer and closer to the day vacationers forsake the warm California sun for lunar dust and purple rocks. Game shows will give moon trips as prizes and Acapulco will be- come a farm community. In five years we'll be listening to the radio and hearing: “This is T. Maximilian Murphy and Donny O’Donahue of all reuest KLEM radio and we‘re on the air talking to Mr. Desmond Foster of Minneapolis with our Wonder Word Jackpot. “Good evening, Mr. Foster, this is T. Maximilian Murphy and if you can tell me what this hour's wonder word is, you’ll win for you and your wife a splendid, all-expense paid two week vacation on the dark side of the moon. “No, I’m sorry, Mr. Foster. That’s not our wonder word and that‘s not a very nice thing to say. But keep listening to all request KLEM and maybe you'll be called again with another Wonder Word Jackpot." Click. To find out first-hand how popular this craze had become, I went to the Twin Cities International Airport and was surprised to see very few spacesuited men and women in waiting lines. The lady at the flight insurance counter was waiting for business so I gave her some about the moon and was surprised to hear that moon in» surance is fairly cheap. If you travel on an authorized chartered flight, you can purchase a 50,000 dollar policy (air and land) for under thirty» five dollars. However, a land and air policy leaves a lot of questionable territory between here and the moon. But they have a little time to work that out at the front office. I strolled the concourses to get the experienced traveler‘s opinion of the moon as a possible vacation spot. Most of them thought the idea was crazy and I got crazy looks for asking. One gentleman carrying two suit- cases, ski boots and skis said he was having troubles enough getting from New York to Montana. The most popular reason people gave for not wanting to go to the moon was that they were too old. One twenty-year-old girl in the process of becoming a stewardess thought she was too old. An older lady found her reason in the Bible and quoted the book as saying: “Going to the moon is screwy.” Conrad Hilton is going to have to do a lot of developing and fast selling to get me on a ship to the moon. I’ve got some friends he could have in the morning, but I can’t see where women would look quite as nice in a two piece space suit. It‘ll take years for science and industry to develop even a small environment resembling a suitable living situa- tion for men. It’s still just cheese to me.

THE IDEA OF adding majors to the staff popped up last spring, when the department found itself getting bogged down with the eter» nal question—do students approve of the changes or proposals which the department presents? The ob— vious answer was to include some students on the staff. The mechanics of doing this were worked out early this fall. Ballot— ing was completed several months ago, and the only restriction as far as voting was concerned was that at least two seniors were to he in— cluded among the five representa- tives. The students involved are con- sidered members of the staff, not as advisors only. They serve as rep- rescntativcs of the more than 100 English majors in the faculty mect— ings. As Maland said, “This makes other students feel more involved with the department, and makes for better communications."

This was evidenced immo- dintcly, as the fivc students had presented a proposal to frcc sonic crcdits for English majors, who nt present have few electives because of the number of required litera» turo, writing and langungc study courses they have to take. The fuc- ulty members of the department accepted parts of the proposal, and soon a proposal will be sent to the Educntionnl l’olicics Committoc for npprovnl.

Show moreThe Augsburg Echo Vol. LXXVI Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota, November 13, 1969 100,000fh Volume Number 7 Library Expands Book Collection by Steve Frantz Perhaps the most used institu- tion as well as the institution that is taken for granted most at Augs- burg is the library. This part of the college began as a result of stu- dent activism in the first ten years of the college's history. During this time students organized societies for the benefit of collecting books on their patron subject, and when the collections of these societies were combined into two rooms of Old Main in 1872, the collection listed 1500 volumes. Students totally managed the li- brary until 1919 when the collection listed 12,000 volumes. In 1959,when Korlis Ozolins came to Augsburg as the Head Librarian, this number had increased to around 30,000. Re- cently, however, this number was increased to an even larger sum when, at a ceremony in the library. Dr. Carl Chrislock presented a copy of his work, "From Fjord to Free- way,” as the 100,000th volume of the library. BESIDES Chrislock’s book other additions have also been made to the library lately. For example, Hamline, Macalester, Concordia of St. Paul, St. Catherine's, St. Tho- mas, Bethel and Augsburg have formed an organization with the _ James Hill Reference Library so that students from any of these in- stitutions can use books from any of the other libraries by simply showing a student ID at the li- brary. A student may also request to have the book delivered to his college’s library where he can pick it up that afternoon or the next day. The organization, known as Co- operating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC) was formed in April of 1969 and has a total of 750,000 vol- umes in its possession. It has a yearly budget of about one million dollars and runs an unscheduled shuttle-bus between libraries for book deliveries. Another addition to the library is in the form of microfilm. The li- brary now has a complete set of the New York Times, dating from September of 1851 to the present, on microfilm and they may be co- pied on a Xerox copier recently ob- tained by the library. IN ADDITION to the microfilm, the browsing collection is a new innovation in the library. This brightly painted addition with the sign of Aquarius painted on top of it reflects "the contemporary in- terests of young people." Request cards are on top of the collection, and students are urged to indicate the books they would be interested in reading. Those books will then be purchased and immediately set on the rack thus avoiding the time consuming book processing. Five hunde dollars has been allotted for this project and any book can be added to the collection. The final addition to the library was presented by the widow of A. R. Johnson. a self-educated, so- cially-conscious man who lived in St. Paul and read avidly. Mr. John- son collected over 8.000 books on various subjects. From this collec- tion 300 books were donated to the library and another 1,500 were bought by the library for an in- significant price. Many of these books are rare or priceless. One such example is a set entitled the “Harleian Miscel- lany," which is worth at least $100. Also, the original manuscript of the diary of Alonzo Read, a soldier in the Civil War, is in the collec- tion. Reed was in Company G of the First Pennsylvania Cavalry, and the diary includes the years from 1857 to 1862. The book is be- ing typed by Chuck Maland for easier reading and will soon be available to all students. AS IS SHOWN by this manu- script, Mr. Johnson apparently had a great interest in philosophy and history. One of the books in the li- brary’s possession, for instance, is a copy of the third edition of the works of John Locke published in 1707. In addition, a book entitled “The Life of Alexander the Great” written by “several Gentlemen of the University of Cambridge" and published in 1690 is also included as part of this collection. Father, the library has a number of other books that show the ideas and values of Americans earlier in this century and in the 18th and 19th centuries. For instance, the collection includes a bound series of the “Deadwood Dick” dime no- vels as well as an “Undertakers Manual” that instructs the begin- ning mortician to make sure that the person to be embalmed is dead before the embalming procedure is started. —Phoio by Imam" CARL CHRISLOCK, DEAN JOHNSON and librarian Korlis Ozolins inspect "From Fiord to Freeway” as the secretory checks the book in as the library's 100,000th acquisition. All of these additions have nec- essitated sizeable expenditures for maintaining and cataloguing them in the library. Besides the substan- tial budget granted by the college, a number of sources are helping to alleviate this problem. One such source is the B us h Foundation which has given $75,000 to the li- bi'ai'y to be used over a three year period. Additionally, in past yours the Office of Education has pru- sented the library with a grant varying from $5,000 to $13,000 per year. MacGregor and Head Discuss Issues in Chapel and Convocafion Speeches by Mike Nelson In recent appearances on cam- pus, two Republican United States Senate candidates gave their views on an array of questions. Congress- man Clark MacGregor of Minneso- ta's third district emphasized his Viet Nam stand when he spoke dur- ing chapel on October 24, while Minnesota attorney general Doug- las Head stressed the domestic is sues of pollution and urban prob» lems at the November 5 convoca- tion. 0n Viet Nam, MacGregor said that he supports the administra- tion’s “p h a s e d disengagement" from the war. He felt that combat troops could be out of Viet Nam by the end of next year. ATTORNEY GENERAL Head cited in his address that “We are ' the great polluters and if we are to curb pollution we will have to pay economically. Head supported several plans to curb pollution. These included tax incentives to industries that install anti-pollution devices. taxing the emission of pollutants into the at- mosphere, and the use of citizens‘ law suits against polluters. 0n the problem of urban environ— ment Head felt that there must be decentralization of decision mak- ing, a greater nietropolitan.cmi- cern, and a greater state and fed- eral role in the solving of urban problems. FOLLOWING THEIR respectch talks, the candidates answered a variety of questions at coffee hours held for them. This gave students and faculty 3 chance to hear their views on a variety of issues. —rnovo by Budwflhn DOUG HEAD EMPHASIZES a point in his convocation speECh. MacGregor's questions centered on Viet Nam related issues. On Spiro Agncw‘s attack on the mor- atorium loaders MacGregor said, "It's very difficult to shut him up." When asked about the effective- ness of the moratorium he told the audience to look at the firing of (ivnernl Lewis Hershey as draft chief. "Does it all‘ect the people in Washington? Yes." MacGregor said that he felt a «oalition in Viet Nam would be all right if the peo- ple wanted it. ATTORNEY GENERAL Head answered questions on both state and national issues. On President Nixon's address to the nation, Head said he was pleased with the announcement of a specific plan for troop withdraw- als but expressed displeasure at the President's f ail u r c to announce what pace will be followed. Head said he felt withdrawals of 20,000 to 25,000 troops per month would be a satisfactory pace. 0n the legalization of marijuana the attorney g c n e r a l disagreed with some student advocates be- cause not enough is known about its efi'octs. He did advocate an in— tensive study to investigate the effects of marijuana. WHEN ASKED about the large number of DFI. gubernatorial can- didates, Head said that they all see that the incumbent's popularity is sagging and for them “this is thr- chance of a lifetime . . . but then where do you find a popular gov- ernor today anyway." He further said that he felt the governor had done a very good job the past three years and credited the sagging popularity partially to the way he appears on television. He also commented on the trial ~Pholo by Peterson CLARK MAC GREGOR of the “Conspiracy Eight" in Chi- cago and particularly on the Bobby Scale case. Looking at the case from an attorney's point of view, Head said that the outbursts were a good strategic move. The judge, however, was unable to handle the situation. Assessing his progress in his cur- rent campaign to win the Republi- can nomination to take thi- seat of Eugene McCarthy. Head stated. “We started out a little slow but we're gathering steam now." “'hcn further pressed on this question he Iinly replied, "We have a fifty-fifty chance." Show less

Show morePage 2 THE AUGSBURG ECHO Thursday, November 18 1916 Alumnus Praises Sateren Letter and Moratorium: “Real Patriots are Those Who Want to Save the Lives of Men To the editor: Congratulations to Leland B. Sa- tcren for the stimulating and schol- arly article on “Draft Uses Old Men First" in the October 17 issue of the Echo. This article contains so many sound and sensible ideas that the Pentagon will likely never accept them. His article reminds me of two boys who went to the dentist’s of- fice. The older boy, in a firm voice, said to the dentist, “We want a tooth pulled." The dentist said, “My, but you are a brave boy. Sit right down here." Then the big boy turned to the little boy and said, “All right, Johnny, get your tooth pulled." The men who misled us into the Viet Nam war are not, the ones who are being slaughtered in the rice paddies of Southeast Asia. They are not the ones who, as Harry Editorial No Conflict It is a difficult task, at best, to tie the loose ends of a five- article series together. The importance of the question being considered, however, makes some kind of editorial comment necessary. What are the Christian and educational goals of Augsburg? Are these goals being fulfilled? The article by Dr. Bernhard Christensen (September 18) and the article consisting of the statement approved by the faculty and Board of Regents take opposing approaches to the answer. While Dr. Christensen examines the problem from the Christian point of View, the faculty statement looks at the school more from an educational view. A brief highlighting of the major points in each article will be useful as we attempt to draw conclusions. On one hand. Dr. Christensen lists four major convictions which should be part of the Christian college today: “Faith in God as Creator and Father”; “the highest aim in life is truth"; the cultivation of moral character; and a “wholehearted at< tack upon the evils of racism." Dr. Christensen then comes to the conclusion that the spiritual and educational goals of Augs- burg “supplement and support each other.” Although some tension may exist, it can be overcome if we firmly and honestly face it. The faculty statement. on the other hand, centers on the vast educational potential of Augsburg in its position in the Cedar—Riverside area. It seems almost that the faculty is more concerned with being a “major deve‘oper in the urban renewal plan controlled by the Minneapolis Housing and Redeveloo- ment Authority" than with any Christian commitment as such. The preamble to the statement points this out clearly. While the general presuppositions of the college “remain un- changed,” the emphasis placed on them differs. The term “free Christian college," for example, stays undefined and could be construed ambiguously as a token reference to our Christian commitment. The hopes for greater academic excellence and a liberal arts emphasis are subordinated to the “realization of the unique opportunities offered in higher education in our urban setting." Read over the faculty statement carefully—that last point about utilizing the metropolitan area pervades the thinking concerning the student community. academic development. campus and facility development, and relationships and re- sources of the college. All of this, of course, is not meant to disparage the faculty statement. \Vhile their statement seems to have taken our Christian commitment for granted (at least, I hope the state- ment implies that) it is important for our purposes because it is the clearest statement of educational goals to be found on this campus. When a combination of this statement is ef- fected with the Christensen emphasis on the Christian view- point. the statement compiled is a powerful testimony to the possibility of a true fulfillment of our Christian and educa— tional goals as I understand them. Although it is presumptuous for me to make a value judg- ment on this question. I must express the belief that I see few conflicts between our Christian and our educational goals. I agree with stuednt society President Larhae Grindal when she writes that “the educational goals are given a deeper meaning with the Christian commitment at their center." Hopefully that commitment will always remain at the heart of the edu- cational philosophy of the school.

Emerson Fosdick said in speaking of World War I, “go over the top again and again and again.” No. they stay at home while the sons of the poor in the slums and the black boys from the ghettos go out to die or come back wrecked in body and mind. The older generation asks for "reason" and “patience” in solv- ing the Viet Nam war. But they do not fight. I am glad to know that the students at Augsburg arouse themselves about this ille» gal war. Students all over the land ask, “If this war is senseless, why not stop it? How long will Ameri- ca continue to sacrifice 7500 to 8000 young men annually so that Presi- dent Thieu can keep in jail the man who ran against him for office?" It is not easy to answer. Americans realize the Viet Nam war is the most shameful in the history of our nation. Not only is it tremendously wasteful in money, but it is wicked, immoral and bru- tal. It is senseless and futile. In the words of a French writer, “It is worse than a crime. It is a mis- take.” The recent congressional election in Massachusetts demonstrated the anti-war sentiment of the Ameri— can people. There, an anti-war can- didate, Michael Harrington (Dem- ocrat) won a congressional seat held by Republicans for 94 years, winning over the son of Leverett Saltonstall, who bears an old and honored political name in Massa- chusetts. They voted their opposi- tion to President Thieu and his re- gime in Viet Nam, which is distin- guished primarily for its corrup- ton, repression, and inefficiency. The moratorium on October 15 was a tremendously effective pro- test against the Viet Nam war. It was orderly, dignified, and it far surpassed the highest expectations of its leaders. Never in the history of our country have the millions of citizens from every walk of life— students, professors, doctors, busi- nessmen, labor leaders and church- es—expressed their strong opposi- tion to the war as they did in the moratorium. Mayor John V. Lindsay, who en- dorsed the moratorium, said most clearly w h at the demonstrating New Yorkers in the streets were thinking. “Maybe we have finally learned," he said, “that this war has brought neither a sense of vic— tory nor a sense of pride. Perhaps we are learning that the American people are honest enough and brave enough and strong enough to change a mistaken course; and per- haps we hvae learnd at long last that the time has come to put a stop to this war." W. Averell Harriman, f o rm e r chief United States negotiator in Paris with North Viet Nam and the Viet Cong, urged the broaden- ing of the Saigon government to inclurie all non-communist groups into a coalition that would have the will and the ability to negotiate a peace. The United States should urge this, he said, for the first re- sponsibility of this nation is to end the fighting in Viet Nam. . . . “The objective should not be to turn the war over to the Vietnamese, but to turn the peace over to the Vietna- mese," he said. Professor George Wald, the Har- vard biologist who won a Nobel Prize for his work in the physiol- ogy and chemistry of vision, had a simple answer to the question so often posed: “How can we get out of Viet Nam?” Wald’s reply was “In ships." When I was a student at Augs- burg College we sent missionaries to Asia. Today our government is sending napalm and bombs to de- stroy the peasants and villagers of Southeast Asia. I hope the present student generation a t Augsburg realizes the futility and stupidity of our un-Christian and disgrace— ful war in Viet Nam. The real patriots are those who want to save the lives of our fine young men, men like those who make up the student body at Augs- burg. We are more concerned about ending the war and saving their lives than we are about saving the face of the politicians in Washing- ton. /s/ 0.

Not only for the time and effort that was involved in holding your fund raising seminar, but also (and most important) for your concern that enabled you to make this pos- sible. It is people such as yourselves that can keep the inmates’ hopes and feelings alive, by letting them know that society has not forgotten them. Your time and efforts have not, I assure you, gone unnoticed or unlauded by either the inmate population or society in general. To the present criminology class, what can I say'! This class has been not only a pioneer in the academic field, but in penology as well. Through the efforts of you students and Cal Ap- pleby (from the department of so- ciology) progress has been made in inmate~citizen relationship that has long been overdue. Along with this progress comes k n o w l e d g e, a knowledge that for the students is, I hope. extremely beneficial. To the inmate it is invaluable, as not only a means for insight into himself. but as a deterrent to recidivism as well. These inmates, myself included. have lived the experiences of which we speak, and we are willing to help you students learn in order that you may help others. We, in turn wish to learn how others han- dled their problems and made their decisions that led to the traveling of other roads. By bringing these two factions together, only a bene- ficial exchange of knowledge could ensue. So again to you students and Cal Appleby, I say it is through your efforts and concern that the experi- ences of these men can be turned into a benefit to society and a means for personal growth for each and every inmate that chooses to use it. It is for allowing this to become a reality and an incentive to insti« tutions elsewhere that I say to war- den Jack Young, “Well done!” And with that, I will remain Your co-learner, Wayne D. Moldenhauer Reg. No. 21310 Alum Seeks New Voices About War To the editor: No doubt the whole world is ob- serving and reacting to our current fervor for a war moratorium, pro- moted in general, it seems, by our college age youth. They cry out, “Stop the bombing! De-escalate! Yankee come home!" To the world we have been presented by world- wide Communist propaganda, as well as some by our own statesmen, as American warmongers profiteer- ing in an immoral, unjustified, and illegal war. We common tax~pay- ing citizens long for, yes, even pray for peace, but there is no peace. Yet where are those young voices as well as some middle aged and even elderly voices that will cry out to the world of the repeated fail- ure of the Communists to take one small step toward peace (except to go to Paris to argue about the shape of a table)? Where are the voices that could cry out to the world, “Commie, go home (behind or! your iron and bamboo curtains)! Commie, de-escalate! Commie, stop the bombing! Your war is immoral, unjustified and illegal!” Where are these voices'! I am listening, but fail to hear them ex- cept for a faint whisper. How can the world hear them'! [5/ Mrs. Merlin H. Lee (an alumnus and college parent) Miss A. Primrose Sees Sinister Plot To the editor: It was with great interest that I viewed Augsburg’s successful re- pulse of “King Alcohol" last year. It is with even greater interest that I watch this year‘s campaign to stamp out students. The battle is being hard fought, but we have already taken over the student commons. and our flag- poles are firmly planted in that has- tion of student power known as the Umess Parking Lot. We have es- tablished a strong system of de- fenses centered around the City of Augsburg room in the student cen- ter. Working diabolically behind enemy lines we have managed to gain many strong allies in high ad- ministrative positions. Spending a few bucks here and a few there we have reached the hearts and minds of many administrative officials. Our new uniforms (as many of you might have noticed) are distin- guished by a white tag worn over one's heart. On this tag is boldly inscribed the name of one dedicated to the overthrow of all students. You might be asking what we plan to do with Augsburg when we successfully repulse the enemy.

A long season ended with a 420 loss to Concordia, a 44-7 loss to Macalcster, and n heartbreaking 28-20 loss to St. Thomas. The loss to the Tommies sank the Auggies into last place in the MIAC with a 0-7 record. The Tommies escaped the cellar with a 1-6 record. Over- all, the Auggies had their third straight 1-8 season. The loss to Concordia was the fifth of the Auggies‘ MIAC season. Mark McNelIy scored the first Cob- ber touchdown on a three yard run. In the second period the Cobbers added 22 more points. Les Perry ran seven yards for one score, caught a pass from quarterback Paul Linde for 56 yards and an- other score, and kicked two extra points while adding two more on a run. Linde scored the other touch— down on a 24 yard run. In the third period, backup quar- terback Dale Hertel raced 11 yards for another score, and Perry‘s kick made the score 35-0. Two minutes later, just barer into the fourth period, Bob Perry caught a nine yard pass from Hertel for the last Cobber score. Les Perry kicked the conversion to end the scoring in the 42-0 game. Mac struck early with a trick play of sorts, and a quick Auggie comeback wasn't good enough to save the game. On the first play from scrimmage, Mac benched reg‘ ular quarterback Carter Hill, the top passer in the conference, and put linebacker Dave Kumlien at that Spot. He promptly threw a pass which Neil Blatchford caught at the ten and raced over the goal line with. Kumlien kicked the extra point.

On the conver- sion attempt, the center snapped ter the ball back poorly, and Jim Clau- sen was caught trying to run the ball over the goal line. Eight seconds into the last quar- the Augs lost their lead for good. Sean Flood caught a Mike McCawley pass for 43 yards and a touchdown, and Goodman’s conver- sion run gave the Toms a 21-20 lead. The remainder of the game saw the Toms eating up the clock, scoring finally with 2:35 remain- ing when McCawley hit Jim Peters with a 13 yard pass for the last score. Campbell's kick made the score 28-20. Harriers End Third Behind Johns, Scots in Conference by Terry Blue St. John's literally “ran away" with its 5 e c on d straight MIAC cross country title two Saturdays ago at St. Cloud. The Johnnies fin- ished with 19 team points while second place Macalester and third place finisher Augsburg registered 47 and 64 points respectively. St. John's displayed superb team balance in capturing the first four place finishes plus ninth place. It is this balance that makes the Johnnies a cinch to win the Novem- ber 8 District 13 NAIA meet and also makes them a leading contend- er for the national NAIA small col- lege title later in the month. Augsburg ran a good team race St. John's Wins Conference Meet St. John's 19 Macalester 47 Augsburg 64 St. Thomas 105 Hamline 132 Duluth 145 Gustavus 170 in finishing third, but couldn’t shave enough seconds in three key instances to beat Macalester for runner-up honors. The first four Auggie barriers crossed the finish line within a per- iod of twenty-four seconds. Jerry Beckman finished eighth, Tom Brandt came in tenth, Tim Peter- son placed eleventh, Gary Wilde twelfth, and Rick Johnson rounded out the top five by finishing twen- ty-third. Although somewhat dismayed at finishing behind Macalester after beating them at the St. Cloud In- vitational one week earlier, coach Howie Pearson was nonetheless pleased with his youthful team’s performance. It should be noted that the Augs will get a final crack at the Scots in the upcoming District 13 meet. That meet will be held Saturday at Como Park in St. Paul. The meet begins at 10:30 that morning. Convo concluded from page 3 nical difficulty, and creativity. “Day Tripper" was effective at building to a climax and returning to the chorus. Eidsvoog’s “Surreal Groove" brought the crowd to its feet in the brass finale. VARIETY WAS the by-word for the Cabaret singers in the final four numbers of the program. “The Girl from Ipanema" was a welcome change from strictly fast or slow tempos of most of the convo tunes. “My Love" was the vocal highlight of the performance.

Show moreThursday, November 6 Entertainment at Augsburg Second Concert Treats Audience Pat Paulsen and the First Edi- tion headlined the second concert of the fall at Augsburg, and while the concert might not have been one of the greatest financial suc- cesses ever, the performance of the artists involved was flawless. The crowd was treated to an excellent performance by the First Edition, and Paulsen was at his droll best. The First Edition began with one of their hits, “But You Know I Love You," and in the course of the evening added well-done rendi- tions of "Ruben James" and “What Condition My Condition Was In." Lead singer Kenny Rogers spar- kled on “Sunshine” (the flip side of current release “Ruben James") and "Ruby." Mary Arnold capti- vated the audience with her per- formance of“AIl That I Am,"while Terry Williams was featured in a beautiful song entitled “Baby Without You." THE GROUP CAME across well, mixing a fantastic singing effort with an at~home kind of presenta- tion which made the first part of the concert a complete success. The word play between lead guitarist Ken Vassey, Rogers, Williams and drummer Mickey Jones provided a receptive atmosphere for the group, and as a result the tunes played by the group were received enthus- iastically. After a short intermission, Pat Paulsen began his portion of the concert with an original film pro- duction. In the film, Paulsen began his sports career with a training program featuring eating, drinking beer, eating, exercising in between eating, and more eating. After ten minutes of “exercise” Paulsen had gained weight. —Phoio by Breamer PAT PAU LSE N Paulsen then appeared on stage, carrying a guitar because "my zip- per is broke.” The comedian at- tempted to sing some Paulsenian folk songs, of which the best was: “I was standing in the street When a very ugly man came up And tied his horse to me." After his t e n n i s demonstration. Paulsen wowed the audience with finger s h a d o w s such as “Man Reaching for Piece of Bread," “Fist with Arm Attached," and “Index Finger." Brass and Cabaret Presents Convocation by Scott Thysell Electric sax a capella, a touch of baroque, blues and bossa nova, plus wailing brass, fine solos, and a human calliope highlighted the October 29 convocation featuring the Neophonic Brass and the Cab- aret singers. The first section of the program was reserved for the Neophonic Brass. Greg Lewis was in fine form vocally on “More and More," fol- lowed by a frenzied Mike Savold organ solo, and fine attacks by the trumpets and trombones. "SOMEWHERE," fro m “West Side Story,” was the next song. The French horn and trumpet sections were predominant in John Eids- voog’s arrangement of the score. Next came Greg Lewis‘ arrange- ment of "Remember," which sur- rounded a brass ensemble 5 c o r 2 with trombone solos. “Norwegian Wood" closed the first section of the program with a bang. Eidsvoog played a varitone solo: a varitone is an electrifying device, used by Eidsvoog on a tenor sax, which pro- duces unique sounds and allows two octaves to be played at once.

The Cabaret singers kept things moving with an enthusiastic ver- sion of “Aquarius.” They slowed down the pace considerably with three mood t u n e 5, "Yesterday," “The Look of Love,” and “By the Time I Get to Phoenix." “Yester- day” was done in the traditional Beatle style. but the cabaret put great stress on the modern chords in the second tune to add some freshness to the much—played song.

He went on to say that you have to have votes to win elections—“except in Chicago it doesn't really matter." He then protested that he was through with politics. Paulsen now is interested in ath» letics, something he picked up at Agnes P. Rutherford High School, where he was a “four-letter word." He played center. but the quarter- back had cold hands. He bccame a quarterback, but one day he was hit on the right leg by a 250 pound tackle and on the left log by n 1240 pound guard, so “I become :1 split end." In a question session, Pnulson was asked if he was married. and answered, “Yes, but I'm not fussy." \Vhen asked what the turning point of his political campaign was, Paul- sen answered, “What kind of bus- ketball do you play around here anyway?" When asked if the ru- mor was true that he had been dead for three years, Paulsen stated that Page 3 if it was, "you are witncssing a minor miruclc tonight." The concert ended with an cight minute long short goodbyc sci-no.

Drama Department Presents Successful First Production by Cornelia McCoy This last week the Augsburg drama department presented its first production of the season, on- titled “The Madwoman of Chail- lot" by Jean Giraudoux and trans- lated by Maurice Valency. The play was directed by Dr. Esther Olson, a member of the National Collegiv ate Players. The play itself has a hardly dis- cernible plot and contained much humor merely for humor's sake, but this does not keep the play from being enjoyable. The cast as a whole did a good job but certain members of the cast made the play really successful. THE MOST outstanding cast member was undoubtedly Margit Livingston, who made the title role believable whereas such a person as the Countess is very hard to be- lieve. She brought out the true madness of Countess Aurelea. Another outstanding portrayal was that of Richard Cottrell who played the ragpicker. The most memorable part of the play was Cottrell's explanation of the change of the world from good to evil. Mery Muhlbradt, a freshman, made Irma the waitress a truly ex- citing character. one that all the men in the audience would fall in love with. For a freshman, Mery did a surprising job as Irma. THE PARTS of Mine. Constance and Mme. Gabrielle were brought into focus by Sandy lIagcr and Na< dine Emerson. Sandy brought out the insanity of Mme.

The day is planned as one of the last activi- ties of a busy Centennial month which began during the homecom- ing week. Mrs. Chisholm will speak on the —Spccicl Photo MRS. SHIRLEY CHISHOLM topic, “The Social Revolution." The former school teacher has a repu- tation as a vital, interesting speak- er concerned with the problems of the day. As Mrs. Chisholm has said about herself, “One thing the peo- ple in Washington and New York are afraid of in Shirley Chisholm is her mouth." In 1968 Mrs. Chisholm faced two opponents in the Democratic pri- mary in her district in New York City, and emerged with a 788 vote victory. At the national convention, she was named national committee woman of the New York state del- egation. Mrs. Chisholm faced stifl‘ opposi- tion from former CORE director James Farmer in the campaign battle. Farmer was endorsed by both the Liberal Party and the Re- publicans in the Redford-Stuyve- sant area. She beat “the national figure" (hcr name for Farmer) by almost two and one half to one. The 44—year-old Mrs. Chisholm graduated from Brooklyn College, and took her master's as Columbia. She became a teacher and workcd for a while as director of a day- care center for children. She has served in the New York state lcg- islature before entering the U.S. congress. A brass quartet from the Augs- burg orchestra will play a prelude to the convo. Later in thc convo one part of Robert Karlen‘s “Gunn- laug,” composed in the past ycar, will be played. The p a r t b e i n g played features the stringed in— strumcnts. The postlude will be Handel's “Prelude in Fugue in D Minor." Classes will be running on the convocation day schedule d u r i n g Founder's Day, according to Dean Kenneth Bailey. Students arc asked to adjust their schedules accord- ingly. Future r to change, the college. under the di- rectio nof the Faculty Senate. has completed studies of six basic areas of program and activity. The stu- dies were structured to involve broad participation of s t u d e n t s. faculty and administration. 1. THE PREAMBLE: The gen- eral presuppositions of Augsburg College remain unchanged. Goals for progress in the ’70‘s will be de~ termined by the college's commit- ment to development as a “free Christian college," to the achieve- ment of greater academic excel- lence, to a strong liberal arts em- phasis combined with appropriate professional preparation, and then to realization of the unique oppor- tunities offered in higher education in our urban setting. 2. THE STUDENT COMMUN- ITY: The growth of the college in the Decade of the 70's when com- pared to the last decade will be much more g r a d u a l. Controlled growth is planned to support im- provements in course ofi‘erings, to develop faculty breadth and to pro- vide a sense of movement. The college will move in the di- rection of greater hetrogencity in the student body, to be accom- plished by selecting greater pro- portions of students coming from outside of the state and country, and from varied cultural and reli- gious backgrounds. The college will intensify its em- phasis on the enrollment of highly qualified students who possess the potential for creativity and leader- ship. Drawing upon the wealth of op- portunities in th e metropolitan area, the college plans to consider an increase in the emphasis on ex- perience-centered learning situa- tions for its students. Recognizing the necessity of in- volving students in both the life of the college and the development of their own education, the college an- ticipates more significant participa- tion by students in college govern~ ance. An increasing proportion of the student body will reside on or near the campus and the college will do» velop housing programs which will seek to meet the needs of students in new and creative ways. Tonsor Praises Schools in Symposium by Becky Foss This is Augsburg's Centennial celebration, and many are the vis- itors who so graciously praise and acknowledge the achievements of the past 100 years. The speakers and participants in the centennial activities have given of their time and talents in giving meaning to our past and discussing plans for our future. The fifth symposium series lead- ing to the centennial is entitled “Man and Education in a Revolu- tionary Age." Speaking on the place of the church affiliated school in our modern system of education was Dr. Stephan J. Tonsor, asso< ciate professor of history at the University of Michigan. Tonsor is presently involved in researching German youth movements for a study of modern European intellec- tual history, and so is in tune with the effects of various types of edu- cation in the world today. AFTER PRAISING Augsburg for surviving its first century with such an outstanding record of serv» ice to the community, Tonsor pro- ceeded to question the usefulness of the church affiliated school in our present system. More often. in recent years, the small private col- lege has been accused of perpetuat- ing an anachronism. Every small school is beset by lists of problems, financial and technical, whether it is church subsidized or not. Is this type of educational facility neces- sary in our world or not? Tonsor, although praising the “goodness of age" at Augsburg, rather defines thc goals of the small school as pioneering and of immensely imaginative value. No— where is there thc spirit of adven- ture and mission as in the small college where, more and more, the students and faculty together seek new answers and test new theories. The small college is the perfect and necessary place for advancement because it offers diversity, and di- versity is the strength of any cul- ture. The church affiliated college of- fers diversity: but this offer brings with it pressures from a national educational system devised on an immense scale. Being difl'ercnt is expensive and drives the smaller school lower in stature. THE QUESTIONS a s k e d by most students today (those of “Who am I?" "Where am I go- ing?" and others) can be answered more fully in a small college that devotes a deeper study to the hu- man condition, and not just to the mechanics of the universe. A fear of the loss of Self-hood generated by the overpowering universities has led to a realization of thc fact that scculur s c h o o Is a r c not equippcd to a n sw c r these basic questions. Men yearn for meaning and purpose, but the commitment and dedication gained from those are understood loss fully in the at- 7 Photo by Imam: DR. STEPHAN TONSOR mosphcrc of the secular school. Thus, the church affiliaicd school must seek to fill the gap in pcrsona] contact created by the large llllle‘l" sitics. I’roblcms arising in the small collage because of their out» look cannot be solved mcrcly by turning secular. Rather, a very real zm-cplanw of responsibility must load the church school to (im’i‘lup programs and curriculums not only to ask but also to do. Technology cannot solvc cvcry ill in the world. The solution lies in man's responsibility to himself and his acceptance is the only cure. And whore better to find a loader than in a church school that is bascd on a history of service and responsibility? And t h c i r best method is to teach by example. The church affiliated college (caches these two things: I) the formation of personality and development of life, and 2) the concept of commun- ity. Those are the basics 0i Tonsnr‘s philosophy on the church school's role in society. “'hcn askr-d labor in a question and answr'r period why he was tcaching in one of the largcst universities of tht- country, so obviously against the very hour! of his speech, he replied that his optimistically a. ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT: The college anticipates the devel- opmcnt of experimental programs wherein innovations in curriculum development and methods of in— struction can be tested in a flexible situation. Through this approach the liberal arts program of the col- lege will be shaped so that it is re- sponsive and relevant to contem- porary and s t u d e n t community needs. I. FACULTY DEVELOPMENT: The college reaffirms its emphasis on the importance of effectch teaching, while recognizing that there is, in many instances. a posi- tive reciprocal relation between cx~ cellcnce in teaching on the one hand and research and scholarship on the other. In order to assure the for- mer, and encourage the latter, the college will continue to improve faculty compensation, teaching loads, and its programs and stair: dards for professional preparation and growth. The college also reaffirms its commitment to acndcmic freedom, which implies freedom of the fac- ulty to teach and to pursue rc- scarch and scholarship: and which also implies increased responsibil- ity of the faculty in its cooperative effort with students and adminis- tration in collegial decision making. 5. CAMPUS AND FACILITY DEVELOPMENT: The college will undertake the renovation. the up« grading nnd the provision of aca- demic facilities appropriate to the nature of its instructional program and scaled to projected growth. The college is planning to provide for the replacement by permanent structures of all temporary housing and to accommodate an increasing porportion of residentai students. The provision of appropriate ac- ademic and housing facilities will be made in the context of a campus plan. which in turn will be in the context of the redevelopment plan for the Cedar-Riverside area. The college will be a major developer in the urban renewal plan con- trolled by the Minneapolis Housing and Redevelopment Authority. 6. RELATIONSHIPS AND RE- SOURCES: The Dccade of the 70's will see a n intensification a n d broadening of the relationships of the college to other institutions. communities and persons. This will take the form of a broader ecumen- ical approach to the religious com- munity and increased involvement in the urban community and its problems and opportunities. The college ,will continue its positive stance to w a r d cooperation with other institutions in a variety of joint programs. The metropolitan location of the college and the emergence of high- er education as a total system will require an increased number of re- lationships with governmental agencies and educational associa- tions. The college faces realistically the fact that some of the traditional sources of support of the instltu- tion may decline proportionately in the 70's. The college plans. there- fore, increased sophistication and effort for the identification of, com- munication with, and cultivation of both traditional and new sources of support. The college will lend its support to the development of appropriate legislative programs which will move toward greater governmental assistance for all students and all institutions of higher education. position was somi-what that of :- “gadfiy,” and that his mi—rxnn on» to "bug the Iivll out of ihvm ltlw larger universitir-sl“ points. on yo i! thru- Show less

Sunday, October 12, Mason Wil- lianiS, writer-coniposer-pci’former "Madwoman of Chaillot" Attempts to Solve Problem with World Joy by Gary Hagen and Mark Saari “The Madwoman of Chaillot” by Jean Giraudoux, directed by Dr. Esther Olson, is a comedy that pits evil personified or inhumane capi- talism against mankind’s mad hope for survival. The two act play pre- sents an over-simplified way to solve the problems of a world which is in danger of losing its joy. It is the fall production of Augsburg's drama department. The first half of act one intro- duces the sophisticated but evil President (Steve Larson), Baron (Gary Hanson), Broker (Bob Tja- den and Prospector (Dave Met.- calf). Act one also introduces Pi- erre (Dennis Johnson), the pros- pector’s yes man, who says no and thus brings the villain’s scheme to a screaming halt. Because he re- fuses to obey the prospector, Pi- erre decides to commit suicide rath- er than face the greedy oil hound. But as he teeters on the edge of the bridge railing, along comes the big, dumb rookie cop (Steve John~ son) to save the day. PIERRE DOESN‘T especially appreciate the policeman’s efforts because he believes there is noth- ing to live for. This idea is soon eradicated as the sergeant (Annis Clark) and the madwoman of Chaillot (Margit Livingston) en- gage in a friendly wager to see who can dissaude Pierre from giv- ing up on life. Just when Pierre is convinced that he has been a fool his funning employer enters and decides to have a few words with him about the job he just botched up. The Countess does not give up so eas- ily, but instead defends her new found friend, and she emerges vic- torious. It is at this point that the vaga- bonds reluctantly inform the mad- woman that things aren't like they used to be, that the world has changed. The ragpicker (Dick Cot- trell) becomes the spokesman of the group which rouses the Count- ess out of her dream world and ushers her into the world of real~ ity. But while the vagabonds are despairing, the Countess rebufi‘s their hopelessness with the confi- dence that the world can be saved —and saved that every afternoon! THE SECOND act contains the story of how the Countess discov- ers what to do with the greedy characters. The sewer man (Mark Saari) lets the madwoman in on a secret, and the three mad women decide that a trial is in order. The ragpicker takes the part of the President in a mock trial and the mad women and the vagabonds an— nounce a verdict of guilty—the mad woman acquires full authority to exterminate the villains. The re- mainder of the act is basically ded- icated to the extermination which returns the world to its former joy.

Show moreFriday, October 17 THE AUGSBURG ECHO Augsburg's Criminology Course Held in Prison by Allen Zirzow Stillwater Prison with its fore- boding walls, iron fences and omi— nous guard towers—hardly condu- cive to intellectual pursuits. Yet Cal Appleby’s 12-member sociology class visits Stillwater Prison every Tuesday for just such a purpose. Officially known as “Experimental Seminar on Crime and Society," this course seeks to bridge the gap between convict and civilian. About 14 prisoners and four guards meet with the Augsburg students to discuss their past week’s readings in a criminology textbook used by all. Reports are read and points in the book dis- cussed, but most enlightening are the inmates' ofi-the-cufl’ remarks regarding their status as prisoners. WHEN THE WORD "prisoner" is spoken, one conjures up in his mind an image of Edward G. Ro- binson or, worse yet, a sub-Nean- derthal type whose stares could kill a man at 20 paces. This is hardly the case. Except for their khakis, the prisoners look like average American males. This experience, as one prisoner put it, “gets down to the nitty- gritty of reaching people." In the relative freedom of the prison con- ference room the prisoners tell it like they see it while the students and guards ponder the inmates’ views and respond to them. Several times heated discussions developed between the inmates and guards. One subject that frayed a few tempers was that of the parole sys- tem. The prisoners were vehement in their attacks upon the system. They pointed out that parole regu- lations make it almost impossible for a prisoner to adjust to a new life and that eventually a majority of ex-convicts wind up back in pri- son for parole violations. Such vio- lations include: association with former prisoners; getting married without prison permission; buying a car, and drunkenness. Any infrac- tion of the above rules lands the violators back in prison. One man even got an extra year for being drunk. THERE IS A general feeling among the inmates that the whole society is to blame for the "unjust" system of penal “justice,” because the society condones the rulings of the courts, the acts of police, and the “harsh” parole rulings. The stu- dents act as concerned, good-will ambassadors from this “unjust” so- ciety. The prisoners learn just as much from them as they did from the prisoners. One prisoner felt that this class has a “therapeutic effect —becoming more familiar to one another." Another expressed a life- long desire to study sociology “but I never had the opportunity (be- fore) to break into the field." The guards also gain from this course. One sergeant said that he was curious to see whether or not any animosity existed between guard and prisoner. Such a meet— ing ofi'ers a different context from which prisoners can air grievances because now there are civilians present. APPLEBY HAS great hopes for this new type of classroom situa- tion. He feels such a course will be the thing of the future. Another group headed by him meets every Thursday at the Shakopee Wom- en's Prison in much the same man- ner as at Stillwater. Appleby feels that the range of subjects could be extended to include not only so- ciology but also art, music, history and so forth. There is a snag, though, to fur» ther implementation of such cours- es—MONEY. In order that the pri- soners share fully in this endeavor. they must become academic col- leagues of the students— as op- posed to human research material lowering them to the state of gui- nea pigs. Therefore, they are re- ceiving three college credits for the course along with the students. The credits cost money, which the pri- soners do not have. In order for this experiment to continue, $800 must be raised to pay the inmates' “tuition.” Our present system of penal “justice” is an utter failure. “When a guy gets out of here he is either an animal or a vegetable," was the lament of one prisoner. Instead of rehabilitating law breakers, it fur- ther corrupts them ——instead of making them useful citizens, it cre- ates lifelong criminals. CRIME IS ON the rise. Once the prisoner has served his time and is then released, he is most likely go- ing to return to prison. We cannot turn our backs on these men, if for no other reason than for our own benefit. We must do something pos— itive. Appleby's sociology course is a step in the right direction. At the entrance to the prison there is a population meter regis- tering 919 inmates—EIGHT MORE OVER THE PREVIOUS WEEK. —Photo by Iroumcr ECHO REPORTER AL ZIRZOW becomes "enlightened" at Stillwoter Prison. Crime Benefit to Raise Tun’rlon for Prisoners A crime benefit? Don't tell us that Augsburg is trying to raise money to sponsor criminal endea— vors'.’ You have got to be putting us on. That's right, but we are also put» ting on a crime benefit. It is an attempt to raise $800 to help pay the tuition costs of inmates in our criminology seminars at Stillwater and Shakopee. October 20 has been chosen for the “Crime and Socie- ty" benefit program. If it is suc- cessful in raising the money. the inmates will be able to receive three credits of college work. It is felt by many that such a program can be the beginning of a new re- habilitation approach in our pri- sons. Already programs of a simi- lar nature such as project “New- gatc" have begun at St. Cloud State Reformatory. A CRIMINOLOGY seminar such as ours is not only beneficial to the inmate, but is also of significant value to the student in the social sciences.

This year, the dance will be open to all the students, plus the faculty, administration, staff and anyone else connected with the school. The event will take place in the Hall of Kings according to present plans.

The loss dropped the Auggies to a 0-4 wondoss record in conference play. Things began well for the Aug— gies. After the kickoff, the Augs had a first down on their own 39 yard line.

The rough defensive battle in the third game continued to be a period, with no scoring occurring until the final seven seconds. The Auggies began a drive on their own 37 yard line late in that period, and stalled with a fourth down on the Johns" six yard line.

Nashy's kick gave the Jays what turned out to be the winning margin. The A u g g i e offense couldn't crack the Johnnie defense in the remainder of the game, though, and the final score came when the Johnnies found themselves in a pre- carious position. With two minutes Aroused left, the Jays were on their own two yard line. Not wanting to risk a fumble or a blocked punt on the next play, Kafka ran backwards out of the end zone. The safety gave Augs- burg two points, but gave St. John's a free kick from their own 20 yard line. When the Auggie of- fense could no nothing on four plays, the Johnnies sewed up the game with three running plays. stole the ball out of Hall's hands as he tackled Corky, and UMD took over on the UMD 44. IT ONLY TOOK four plays for the Bulldogs to score. Pete Furo gained nine yards, Hank Martinsen 12 more, and Furo four on the next play. On the fourth play from scrimmage Furo broke through the left side of the line and scampered 31 yards for a quick touchdown. He added two points on the conversion attempt. The next time the Bulldogs got the ball, they started on their own 26 yard line, but they marched 74 yards on seven plays to take a 15-0 lead. The drive was capped when Furo broke away for a 20-yard run. Tom Cady kicked the first of three conversions. The third time UMD got the ball, it failed to move and punted.

Cady made his second kick, and the Bulldogs took a 224) lead into the second quarter. After the horrendous start, the Auggies settled down, playing the Bulldogs fairly evenly the rest of the way. With 2:17 remaining in the half the Bulldogs scored as the result of another break. Jim Clau- sen fumbled on the Auggies‘ 23. Four plays later quarterback Dan Daly hit Martinsen with a seven yard pass. Cody‘s kick ran the to- tal up to 29-0 at the half. The Auggies finally scored in the third period.

Nel- son's conversion pass was aimed for Wessman, but was a little over- thrown. THE 29-6 SCORE lasted until the closing minutes of the game. With 1:42 remaining in the game, Don Beach kicked a beautiful 46 yard punt. Unfortunately, the Bull- dogs got great blocking on the re- turn, and Furo returned the kick 57 yards for the last touchdown of the game. Ty Crump ran for the two point conversion. The Auggies moved down to the UMD 19 yard line in the closing minutes of the game, but a fourth down pass came up short of a first down at the 14 yard line, and the game ended one play later as UMD ran out the clock. University Junior Varsity Harriers Trip Pearson Runners in Dual Meet by Terry Blue University of Minnesota country coach Roy Griak must be enjoying life these days. In three short years at the helm he has seen his Gopher varsity become the Big Ten powerhouse, and he is now ensuring his squad's future success by developing a wealth of talent through a junior varsity program. Augshurg‘s barriers found out just how talented the University's junior varsity squad is this past Saturday, as they dropped a 1542 decision to the Gophers at the Uni- versity golf course. THE A ['(iClES were simply out- stripped talent wise as Minnesota captured the first five place fin- ishes. The Augs did put up a good fight, however, as the trio of Gary Wilde. .Ierry Bcckman and Tim I’e- tcrson captured sixth, seventh and eighth places respectively. Tom lirandt finished in eleventh place and Rick Johnson rounded out the top five by finishing fourteenth. Auggie c o a c h Howie Pearson pointed out the fact that this meet was the first one in which his charges ran five miles. He felt that the lY tilt helped prepare the team for the five mile conference district meets which are both to be held during the next month.

Soccer Squad Ties Twice, Remains Win/ess, ins : ‘ iPholo by Iodunha MARK IDSTROM USES HIS HEAD ON THIS PLAY as the soccer squad battles St. John's to a scoreless tie. "Loss-Less" After 3 Games The Auggie soccer team is still looking for its first victory after three games. What is remarkable about this statement, though, is the fact that its opposite is also true; the Auggies are still looking for their first loss after three games. Successive ties with St. John’s and Macalester have given the Auggies a 0-0-3 record. Two weeks ago the Augs played to a 0-0 tie with the Johnnies at the Lake Nokomis field. Last Sub urday, the trip to Macalester re- sulted in another tie. this time 2-2. Both the Augsburg goals were scored by freshman Paul Holmes. Augsburg jumped out to a 1-0 lead midway through the first half, but near the end of the period Mac got the tying score. In the second period Mac scored early for a 2-1 lead, but Holmes scored about two thirds of the way through the period for the tie. This Saturday the Auggies play at Hamline's Norton Field at 10:30 in the morning. People interested in seeing the game are invited to attend; admission is free. Show less

October 29. will be this year's debut of two unique musical groups. A morning convo- cation will feature a combined con- cert by the Neophonic Brass and the Cabaret Singers. Highlighting the performance of the 15-20 member Neophonic Brass is its first vocal number. Greg Lew- is sings an arrangement of “More and More" by the “Blood. Sweat and Tears." Other numbers include “Spinning Wheel" by the “Blood. Sweat and Tears" and "Surreal Groove." The latter was written by John Eidsvoog. leader of the group. THE I'NIQI'ENESS of the group lies in that it uses French horns instead of saxophones. Con» sequently John and other members do their own arranging. The group is becoming quite well known in the Minneapolis area and has had some unusual opportunie ties. Engagements this summer in- cluded a beauty pageant at St. An- thony Village. Besides convocations and appearances in high schools. the group this year will be doing such things as appearing at the opening of Seward Park. Heading up the Cabaret Singers is Rich Hotfman. The sixteen meni- ber group has its own instrumental trio of piano. drums, and bass. “AQUARIUS” and “Let the Sun- shine In“ from the Broadway musi- cal “Hair” are part of its program for the October 29 convocation.

Though most of the music the group performs is popular-secular. they occasionally form a small choir and sing sacred music. Convo Guest Solves War by Rolf Nestingcn Campuses around the nation are continuously subjected to the bla- tant point of View that is usually left of the middle of the road po- litically.

Nam doing "hometown" interviews of Minnesotans serving in Viet Nam, was the speaker. Nordberg was a pleasant sur- prise, for under the disguise of a “get out of Viet Nam" philosophy he let his right wing views slip out. It was fun to sit and listen to a right winger make a fool of him— self rather than a left winger. Nordberg continually contradict- ed himself throughout his talk and even resorted to name calling. He held a poll at the end of his talk that was so ambiguously worded that it could hardly come out any other way than in his favor. Nordberg’s solution of “talking tough" hardly seemed adequate for the problems he discussed. His best line of the talk had to be “I think it‘s time we tell North Viet Nam what time it: is and it's time to go home." IMMEDIATE OPENINGS — MEN STUDENTS 5300.00 Guaranteed for 11 Wool. Pan-tun.

As this editorial is being written, there is no way of know— ing what will take place on the day of the Viet Nam war mora- torium. Unfortunately, the Echo comes out two days after the fact; this causes problems for an editor. Writing an editorial about the moratorium at this point could be compared to saw- ing oil" the limb of a tree while sitting on it, but the attempt should be made any way. For weeks all we have heard is moratorium. Well-meaning students caught on to the idea in a hurry, and plans were set up throughout the nation for a myriad of events to protest our involvement in Viet Nam. Pardon my conservatism (something that you Echo read- ers will surely have to face throughout the year), but doubts can be raised about the moratorium. It reminds one of all the “nonviolent” protests you’ve read about in the past—you know, the ones where 10 or 20 people get killed and hundreds get in- jured. All, of course, in the name of peace. Is there any guarantee that things won’t degenerate once again on this occasion? Probably not. A worthy ideal, a peace- ful world free from strife, will once again be prostituted by the people supposedly upholding its virtue. I must confess that I myself don't understand how this always seems to happen. It can‘t be blamed on the so-called alienated people alone, since responsible, mature people get caught up in the doings and lose control of themselves also. Maybe the problem comes because people like me refuse to speak up often enough. Everyone says, “Hey, neat, let’s demonstrate for peace.” No one. apparently, thinks of the con sequences. Although reader Les Lee’s opinions may not be to- tally defensible, he is right when he states that the enemy will use this day to its best advantage. Think of the number of peo- ple who will die in the name of peace because of that. If the moratorium day has degenerated into what I fear it will, I will get no satisfaction out of having sat at my type- writer and typed this editorial. All I will get is a greater aware- ness of being lost—when will people really seek peace in this lworld? I‘m beginning to think peace is a complete impossi- )i ity. —D.S. Sticker Business The Augsburg College business office probably does all right when it comes to keeping mower blades sharpened and bathrooms stocked with toilet paper but hand them a toughie like issuing parking stickers and watch them go to pieces. The much criticized and little appreciated sticker in the first place was more of a nuisance than a necessity designed by Gene Ecklund, seven Minneapolis policemen and the Air National Guard to protect us the students from outside meanies trying to park in our already overcrowded lots. The parking sticker issue and the conditions for parking at this school have been viewed, discussed, and reviewed more carefully than Swedish movies and for the most part have been accepted as a mistake of the business office. But now we find that in their haste to protect us. the business oliice vio— lated the State motor vehicle codes in instructing drivers to stick their stickers in illegal places. So now I’m disgusted. I‘m honestly, seriously, disgusted that a man should be called a business man after displaying such idiocy in such simple matters. When I was in high school. I knew that you had to have a band before you could print tickets to the dance and that you have to have a place before you can set the date. There are details that have to be checked before final preparations can be made regarding anything. Maybe business people don‘t know about the codes speci- fying vehicle visibility. Maybe our business people don’t drive on the right, stop on the red, or go on the green either. And maybe next year our stickers should cost four dollars to pay for this year's mistakes. —T.H.

THE AUGSBURG ECHO Possible Solution, Friday, October 17 Drat‘iL Uses Old Men FirsiL To the editor: In the current discussions of the revision of the draft law, it is dif- ficult to understand why one option has not been considered. This option is simply an apple- cart upset: instead of drafting young men—who have a whole life to lose and whose sacrifice there- fore represents an appalling and indefensible waste, the government should first draft the very old— whose lives have largely been lived, whose aspircations and joys have been fulfilled, and whose sacrifice, though not inconsiderable, would be relatively small. The waging of war depends en- tirely upon expendable manpower: the number of men a government calculates it can allow to be killed without endangering its security. When this number has been exceed- ed a warring nation must either ca- pitulate or face extinction. Our elders have by no means proven either by thought, word or deed that they are not expendable. This, in addition to their espousal of their government's wars, the negligibility of their loss at so late a stage in their lives, their humil- ity at not. having bequeathed their children a better world, their ine- luctable patriotism, and their com- mon sense would drive them en tnasse to the recruiting stations. The sight would be a thrilling one and a challenge to the nation’s sluggards. But apart from this, the idea that no longer would people have to be forced into the army and that there would be manpower to spare gives one pause. Again, it: is difficult to understand why this plan has not been advanced—by ef- ficiency experts if not by our in- scrutable legislators. Moreover, even the most dishon- est among us must admit there is something fundamentally corrupt in a system that compels young men to fight old men’s wars. There is nothing in the world that should force a young man to do battle in a war he is totally innocent of cre- ating. Once it has been agreed that the Sensible solution to the draft di- lemma is the conscription of the aged, and knowing how enthusias- tically they will respond—in our legislative halls and elsewhere— the need for draft boards will cease. And as a bonus it may be assumed that those who have served on them so faithfully and dispassionately—deciding one by one and in cold blood that: such- and-such a young man is meet for sacrifice—will also storm in patri- otic frenzy the recruiting stations to increase the manpower “reser- voir." The first age group might well be the 80 to 70 year category—if one assumes that those older than 80 can no longer contribute effec- tively to the nation’s life. When the 80 to 70 year “pool” has been ex- hausted, Selective Service may then open the 70 to 60 year class. And thus on downwards through the decades, but arbitrarily stopping at age 35. (The reasons for stopping at age 35 are unsearchable, as are all decisions of Selective Service.) In this vast array of expendable human beings, however, room must be made for those patriotic and willing citizens who have been de- nied the opportunity and privilege of serving their country at the level of real battle because they have had to devote their energies to the manufacture of weapons, lethal gases and the like. Knowing how effective their products are, and faced with th e possibility and pleasure of manly hand - to - hand combat, they can be expected grate- fully to crash the ramparts of our recruiting stations—eager both to use and to receive the fruits of their labors. And what of those “Sons of the Church" who have taught. there is “a more excellent way," but who Siudeni Sees Augsburg as Lake with Canoes To the editor: A cool and placid lake is Augs- burg. Its water seemed so pure and cold as blind passengers skimmed over the calm surface in their shiny new canoes. They scented strange for their backs were to the bow and their heads to the stern and pad- dling so vigorously in a backward motion moving the boat’s bow first. But, oh, they were only blind. And yet, there were those who weren‘t. so blind, and they looked into the water and it didn't seem so pure, only polluted. And when their heads looked up into the sky, they saw foreboding clouds that overshadowed the pleasant la k e . They reported through faint per- ception to the very blind that there were deep, black clouds in a heated conflict with fiufi'y, snow-whites. And there was tension, and light- ning struck and flashed. Thunder rolled and resounded across the sky and onto the other lakes nearby. But since the less visionaries could not see, they turned their ignorant ears to their leaders who were in front of the pack. Those in front shouted to all: Keep your heads to the stem and paddle into the direction of our voices. You're not deaf, only blind. We are your eyes, ears and mouth. We give those of you with the most amount of sight the responsibility of looking out for those who have the least amount of vision. We de- mand of the same that they refrain from crashing into others and agi- tating them, and above all, don't make waves. Orders are orders. If everyone follows our direc- tions and our path in an orderly fashion, we will reach our destina- tion on scheduled time. We also have a word of consolation to the more blind—the storm will pass over our heads so have no fear. Assured by those in command, the blind cancers approached the stream leading into the mighty ri- ver. Many of them began to sing the happy tune“Row.row,row your boat, gently down the stream. Mer- rily, merrily, merrily, merrily; life is but a dream." Without another moment’s notice, the ominous-look- ing clouds broke, and rain filled their canoes as the ever-faithful fioundered and sank to the bottom of their little lake. Perhaps life is but a dream. And yet, they were only blind. . / 5/ Bill Powers have decided it doesn’t: really work after all—whose new morality per- mits them to bless acts of violence at home? Knowing they have noth- ing to say that matters to the young men (just classified l-A) who now come to them for help, they will want; to give themselves to this new and bursting-Mathe- seams army of expendables. (Un- fortunately, the number of these men is steadily decreasing. More and more are seeing with fresh vi- sion that the “more excellent way" does work in deed, and that. it stands in towering and eternal op- position to the way of war.) In any assessment of the plan one must ask, "How will the na- tion fare?" Can it. prosper without the services so joyfully and volun- tarily relinquished by those who will now become its fighting force: the aged away, the captains of the munitions industries patriotically slogging through the swamps of Viet Nam, the elder of our legisla- tors heroically "pacifying" a bar- baric enemy, heretofore devoted draft boards pleading with their commanders to be "thrown into the thick of battle,” erstwhile clergy using their Bibles as torches to set docile hamlets afire, and so on'.’ Also, the plan envisions a nation governed by young men—none old- er than 35, industries managed and operated by youths, an economy guided by relative toddlers, sanc- tuaries in which truths will come “from out. of the mouths of babes and sucklings," and so on. In short, the destinies of the nation will rest with the dissidents, the protesters, the hippies and all the rest of the untitled, untried young. Why not? The country has noth- ing to lose and everything to gain by allowing (even begging) the young—the present draft age men —to try their hands. There is little which proves them incapable, while there is staggering proof of-the in- capability of their seniors (if his- tory is to be believed). Some will doubtless view the proposal with impatience, stomp their feet, and commence to bluster patriotically. The fearful old will say as they have so often in the past, “Our young men love and want. to fight. Their sense of duty, their courage, and their sense of patriotism draw them willingly to battle. The unwilling constitute only a small segment—a misguid- ed, dangerous group, for it gives aid and comfort to the enemy," and so on. Others will regard the plan as callous, cynical, cruel and lacking in perspective. But it is not half so cruel, cal- lous, cynical and perspectiveless as a system which forces a young man (with t h r e a t s of imprisonment, fines, and the forfeiture of civil rights) to fight: his elders' wars. Those who, under the new plan, will proudly don the uniform and man the guns know that. their ear- lier twaddle about “the nobility of sacrifice," “acting with valor in de- fense of one’s country," tb ecita- tions to ease the consciences of those who have killed the most, the medals to assuage the wounded, the burials with military “honors,” and all the rest was the purest window- dressing, 3 cover for their fear of having to do what they ruthlessly legislate their young sons must do.

JONES RECORDS HIS PROGRAM which is broadcast from five to six every Monday through Friday in the student center. Syl hopes to eventually establish a radio station at Augsburg. THE AUGSBURG ECHO Page 3 e Augsburg Radio A radio station at Augsburg in the near future'.’ Don‘t laugh. Freshman Syl Jones, with the sup- port of Program Commission and a group of student helpers, is mov- ing in that direction with KAUG. a mock station right now which could, in the near future. crystal~ lize into the real thing. Monday through F r i (I a y eve» nings from five to six p.m. Jones emcees a taped program w h i c h combines progressive rock music with short spot announcements of campus events. The program is taped by Jones and his friends in Jones' room, and the tapes are then relayed to the main floor of the center, where they are set up to be played over the public address sys- tem. THIS, 0F course, creates some problems. Jones tapes the pro- grams in stereo, but the svstem in the center has only one spot *er, so much is lost in the translation. An- other problem is that Jones lacks the necessary number of tapes to make the taping go smoothly. Ten tapes would be adequate; Jones has War Moratorium Finalizes Occasion as Dreamers Continue in “Reality” To the editor: It was with great joy that I learned that the young intellectuals and older would-be intellectuals that make up the college commun- ity have reverted back to the dream world of the Masked Marvel in or- der to rid this nation and indeed the world of all its ills. And how enlightening is this noble crusade when carried out under the disguise of facing reality. The plans for the October 15th Moratorium finalized and a wonderful event it was. Just imagine, all the dreamers with the answers to end a war gather together in spirit all across this divided land. Such a sight should indeed bend this nation to the will of such a vocal and en- lightened group. A problem that has been wrestled with by four Presidents and countless govern- ment professionals should easily be solved by professional dreamers and their amateur experiences in reality. After your shoe leather has been worn and your vocal cords exer- cised, think about all the noble good you have accomplished at such little expense. The boys in the rice paddies will be overjoyed to learn that their efforts are being reward- ed by knowledge that the dreamers' freedom of speech is being pre- served. That same freedom of speech indirectly tells the enemy that the U.S. is not united and that time will weaken a nation so influ- enced by “paper tiger" intellec- tuals. President Nixon faces a united front in Paris with what appears and is a divided nation. Only if the North Vietnamese and the N.L.F. were incompetent would they no— gotiate under such circumstances. I, as much as the dreamers, desire to see our soldiers out of Viet Nam. But negotiation is this nation's only realistic alternative. Immedi- ate withdrawal would make a mock- ery of this country's pledges to all lands. Further military action would only lead us closer to holocaust. Negotiations are the realistic hope to end this war but October 15th will hinder rather than help our ef- forts. Zealous attraction to t h e cause of peace has blinded the dreamers from understanding the reality of the circumstances. If this war is still in progress in the distant future, do not pass-the- buck and place the blarue on the man in the White House, the Mili- tary-Industrial complex, or apple pie. The guilty party may be closer to home and lie in the debates of October 15th and similar protests that harm our negotiation efforts. A hearty thanks to all the zea- lous young and old intellectuals who strive to make peace with dreams and in so doing prolong an already costly war. If I open to- morrow's newspaper and see a fa- miliar face with the words below. “Killed in \'iet Nam,“ I will think of Augsburg‘s and other institu- tions noble actions of October 15th. /s ' Leslie Warren Lee Echo Rea for Policy To the editor: I read with interest the “first in a series" article by Mr. Jimi Tho~ mas in the Echo of September 18. I see this type of series as vital to the education of all Augsburg stu- dents. Although I may be biased in that I agree with much of what Thomas is saying, I think that even those students who strongly dis- agree owe it to themselves to be aware that these opinions are held by many Americans today. My question to the Echo is whe- ther or not this series will continue. either as first presented (Le. writ- ten by difl'erent s t u d e n t 5 each week) or perhaps as a weekly con- tribution by Mr. T. Regardless of which course is pursued, I feel that the Echo will be doing a service to all of its readers. I truly hope that I am mistaken in : specting that by removing this series from the past two issues, the editors are hoping that such radi- cal thinking can he subdued or Si- lenced. s Saul Stensvaag Ed. Note: The Echo editors are not attempting to suppress "radical" thinking. We objected to the sign- ing of the article as “By the Pen- pie." Discussions with members of the Black Student Union hme led to a reinstatement of the series er Asks C ommenf on an every-othcr-week basis. and they will be signed by the Black Student Union as a group. A I’ub- lications Committee has been es- tablished within the “SC to over- see publication of all articles.

One of the aspects of Junes' pro- duction is the following of routes in music. For example. with the Byrds he traces on his tapcs the progression of style w h i c h t h c Byrds have made since they first hit it big on the musical scene. Jones also plans some programs where the emphasis would be to» tally on folk music such as that of Judy Collins, Joan Baez and John» ny Walker. He also plans to inter- spersc jazz music throughout the programming sessions.
