Show morecausal connection Continued from page 4 used as a means to achieve an end. A capitalistic economy sustains itself by profit. In order for there to be a profit, the end product has to be valued higher than the means (i.e. the means of production), thus creating an inequality to exist between things. When a person values some things more than other things, he‘ll use the less valued for the sake of that which is more valued. Now, let's apply this to capitalism. Capitalism sustains itself through profit. if this is so, then an inequality exists somewhere. In capitalism, the inequality exists between the end product and the means of production (e.g. workers, resources). If this is so, then a hierarchy of values is produced which priorities are patterned after. Capitalists value profit as their highest priority in all their economic endeavors, therefore everything that the capitalist does (e.g. search for resources, employ people and produce products) is for the sake of profits. If this is so, then the means of production receives its value in proportion to its degree of contribution to the augmentation of the capitalist's profits. If this is true, then one can see how the means of productions can be exploited by the capitalist to ensure his receiving profits. After all, what do you think was the real cause for the development of unions and environ- mental organizations? Now, how does racism follow from this? If we accept the premise that profit is the motive and the goal of the capitalist's actions. the relation will become more self-evident. Let us ask what are the effects of racism. The effect of racism is the separation of some group of people from the whole, thus creating a disunity and discord between the racists and the people that the racism is aimed at. Now, we wonder how does the profiteer profit from causing racism. If racism causes disunity, then there shall never be real unity, except maybe if there was an extreme emergency such as a life-death Situation. And if a complete unity does not exist, then how can you expect AICOhOI Continued from page 4 be run. Some people disagreed with the Idea of needing a theme to have a party. Basically the disagreement about the current alcohol policy concerns restricting the freedom of houses for organizing parties. The old alcohol policy allowed only houses to have kegs. The policy never said specifically how many kegs, people or how much food a house could have when it was to organize a party. It was because of lenience and interference in the community that the policy was changed. What we the students and the entire Augsburg Community must look at is how this policy is working. Is it really bringing students “through truth to freedom?“ If this is the case then obviously no change is needed. However, to be realistic, a change must be made, but to what extent is the issue real. Do we want total abolishment of the current policy and leave it the way it was? Or can we merely enforce and make more specific language in the policy. Finally, can we compromise and make useful changes and possibly re-draft the current alcohol policy? 10 complete success in your endeavors. So in applying this to racism, we would see that it is logically possible that the ruling class does create racism to procure its status because due to racism, the workers can't even get beyond their own internal conflicts to fight the real problem. Thus, it appears that the ruling class is forever secure unless . . . unless (as my hope turns into happiness) racism is extirpated. . . . And people were sitting on their porches, watching and listening; cameras were flashing; people were buying the PLP magazine called Challenge; and the most gratifying of all was that people of all ages were joining us and singing in unison: "Latin, Asian, Red. Black, White workers of the world unite" and “We don‘t want Black power. We don't want white power. We want workers' power." The end of the march occurred in front of the opera house, which we then entered and feasted in. I don't want to be accused of idolatry. Therefore, I must also criticize: IThey (INCAR and PLP) use the same words which are used throughout society but they change (broaden, restrict, and create) the definitions and denotations of the words in order to be consistent with their theory. The qualm I have with this is how the hell am I supposed to know what their words mean. cThey separate philosophy into that of “bourgeois philosophy" and “prole— tariat philosophy," idealism and materialism, respectively, of which I don't see any logical validity. If they knew anything about philosophy, they would see for one thing that Marx's principle of change is actually found in early Greek philosophy and is, therefore, “bourgeois.” Further, if they understood the various categories of philosophy, they wouldn't criticize idealism for the reasons they do. Part of this abyss could be crossed if they would explicate what they mean by “bourgeois philosophy." ~They make it seem that when the “dictatorship of the proletariat" finally comes about, it will be the final resolution of all contradictions, whereas this is not true at all according to the principle of change which Marx elaborated upon. They know this and yet they don't present it that way when trying to recruit. 'Lastly, for now, they use their prinCipIe of change as a scientific theory to explain all of human history (phenomenon), but I, myself, do not find it explainable of all human phenomenon. I do not find all of their predictions correct, either. In conclusion, it should be said that essentially they are right in the interpretation of the present situation and however far back they can go in interpreting with approximations. But need it be said that humans are not perfect and therefore, their knowledge is never complete. But, in spite of the criticisms, which you may not even find important, I urge you to join lNCAFt and help extirpate racism and humble these miscreants. In the courtroom of Salem, Mass.

Show moreeditorials In light of the substantial turnout for the mayoral forum held last Friday, we hope that members of the Augsburg Community living in Minneapolis will remember or care enough to pull the levers at the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Rental rates, police protection, housing conditions and parking problems are a few issues in this year’s campaigns that will have a direct and significant impact on Augsburg because of its location. Of the five candidates running for mayor, three can be scratched from the ballot without much loss. Charles Stenvig (Independent) has already proven his incompetence as a mayor. Torn McDonald (Honest Government) is a spirited anachronism who offers a seven-point platform of which only one point (the seventh) deserves even moderate consideration. Gayle Swann (Socialist Workers) finds it terribly difficult to address issues concerning the city and when she does, her suggestions are just short of absurd. Only two candidates deserve serious consideration: Mike Barros (IR) and Donald Fraser (DFL). Barros, an eloquent orator and longtime community activist, stands firm on the issues and problems confronting Minneapolis. He knows the specifics about housing, planning and urban renewal and understands the needs of neighborhoods because of his extensive experience from working in these areas. Fraser, on the other hand, is far from being a charismatic leader; yet he possesses other attributes that offset this lack of inspiration. He is methodical and reflective and has proved that he is political positions, however his talents, outweigh this criticism. . Fraser has been criticized for playing into the hands of the Minneapolis business community; his support of a domed stadium downtown is a prime example. His motivation to support the stadium is questionable. A stadium is not in the interest of the majority of Minneapolis, Cedar/Riverside or Augsburg residents. Barros also supports the stadium. Two important relationships tip the editorial scale in the favor of Fraser. The first, ironically, is Fraser’s connections with Minneapolis business interests; the second, is his relationship with the Federal Government. ' Fraser’s support of business, mixed with his historical leadership in progressive and humanitarian programs, would be a tremendous asset to Minneapolis. And Fraser’s 16 years of work in Washington opens important channels for Federal funding. The race for Ninth Ward Alderman means just as much to Augsburg as the mayoral battle. Tony Scallon (DFL) and a no-name candidate, Darrell Mulroy (IR) are challenging incumbent Zollie Green (Independent). We hope for the ouster of a man whose won the respect of many as a jolly friend, but has lost the respect of many because of his inability to articulate and approach problems intelligently. With the loss of an incumbent follows the loss of experience and connections, but having someone with a brain on his shoulders is in the longterm interest of Augsburg and the Ninth Ward. drive and awareness knowledgable about the problems confronting Minneapolis. Fraser has proposed rational, comprehensive, long and short- range plans concerning property tax relief, neighborhood improvements, energy cost compensation and housing shortages. Barros has been criticized for his minimal exposure to substantial Where are we going with theA/cahol Policy? By CHUCK BURMEISTER Where are we going with the Alcohol Policy? This is a question which will be dealt with through student input, Student Senate, faculty senate, and the administration before the Board of Regents meet In Feb. 1980. It is in this meeting that the Board of Regents will evaluate how the current policy is operating. What must be expressed here is that we are not in an us (students) against them (Board of Regents) situation. What actually happens in the process of passing policy is;'first the policy must be passed in the Student Senate. It then must be passed In the Faculty Senate. From here the President of the college either passes or vetoes the policy. In most cases the policy passes. It then comes before the Board of Regents who then have the final say. In reality they will pass most any policy which has been previously passed in the Student Senate, Faculty Senate and by the President and his staff. This procedure is basically the route taken to pass last year's alcohol policy. The Board of Regents passed the policy with the understanding that further study and review of the policy would be referred to the Board of Regents at its first meeting in 1980. With this in mind the Student Senate decided to get a feel for how the student body felt about the Alcohol Policy. On Wednesday, Oct. 24. an alcohol forum was held, sponsored by the Student Senate. Various questions and thoughts concerning the alcohol policy were discussed. The discussion 4 was very one-sided in that most of the audience found weaknesses In the current alcohol policy. Generally the points made dealt with obtaining a Group Use Permit. There were disagreements with the hassle of obtaining a permit. Comments consisted of; the permit procedure is too bureaucratic, or you had to be dishonest in obtaining a permit, or they (Student Council Advisory Committee) just structure parties the way they think they should Continued to page 70 The logic of causal connection By LARRY DeSANTIS This past week-end members of both the International Committee Against Racism (INCAR) and the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) went to Lawrence, Kansas to commemorate John Brown‘s attack against racism, manifested in the form of slavery. Throughout the walk, which started On the Kansas University campus, chants were shouted demonstrating that we are fed up with the "exploitation" and “manipulation” that the "ruling class" imposes on "the workers" in order to augment their “profits” and achieve their “ends.” The causal connection between capitalism and racism is interesting. First, we have to realize the status of racism in this context. Racism in a capitalistic society is Continued to page 10 letters Ice Arena: ’If you have a lemon you make lemonade.’ To the Editor: As former Secretary (1977-78) and President (197849) of the Faculty Senate during thetime the Task Force: on the Ice Arena met, I am writing to take exception to Wayne Pederson‘s statement in the Oct. 19 Echo: “The faculty have wrapped their arms around it (the arena) and said ‘Yes, we do need thisl‘” The Task Force on the Ice Arena was convened because of faculty concern about the negative financial impact on Augsburg, and met through the year of 1977-78, recommending to the Regents that the problem be studied further. In the fall of 1978 the Faculty Senate asked the faculty representa- tives on the Task Force to meet with it for a report on the previous year's investigation. Out of this initial meeting came a request that Wayne Pederson provide information only estimated in the Task Force report on day to day operating costs and revenues for the Arena, and out of the subsequent meetings a request to the Regents to include the original faculty representatives on the Task Force on the Regents‘ special committee to investigate the Ice Arena operation. That request was forwarded to the Finance and Management Committee by the President of the Board of Regents Nov. 21, 1978, but was not responded to. Thus at this point faculty involvement with the consider- ation of the Ice Arena ceased. The con— sensus of the Regents on the issue was expressed by President Anderson: “If you have a lemon you make lemonade.“ Whereas Mr. Pederson's positive view of the Ice Arena may reflect that of the administration, the Regents and some members of the Physical Education department, it is certainly not my impression that it expresses the feelings of the faculty as a whole, which at best are, according to one Task Force member, those of “tired resignation." The remaining three faculty repre— sentatives on the Task Force on the Ice Arena, Gerry Gerasimo, Amin Kader and Ed Sabella, and I would be happy to discuss this further with a representative of the Echo. Toni Clark Department of English An administration building disunity To the Editor: Many individuals and groups on campus—both students and faculty— have voiced concern with recent threatened faculty cutbacks. This concern has been very heartening to those of us whose jobs are threatened. This unity has much more significance than my personal gratification, how- ever. I believe that unity Is the correct response to an action that should be viewed as an attack on all faculty and students. This is an attack on all faculty because these cutbacks were made from the heart of the academic program without consultation with faculty or departments. This precedent has subsequent implications for all faculty in all departments. In this particular instance it means that faculty in the departments involved will have to teach courses beyond their own expertise and that class sizes will be increased. This is simply speed-up.

Show moreReplacing staff vacancies cost By SARAH PARKER As of Jan. 1979 the Augsburg College campus has acquired 35 new staff persons. The majority of these staffers joined Augsburg this summer and 16 of them are new as of this September. The staff people of our campus are a vital part in keeping the college running. Bonnie Mork, personnel director said there are approximately 131 staffers on campus both full and part-time, compared with the 154 faculty employed at Augsburg this year. According to Mark this is a good ratio of staff to faculty, and is right in the standings of the FTE (Full Time Equivalent). The FTE standings state that there should be x number of full and part-time staffers for x number of students attending the college. Mork stated that of all the turnover that has taken place this past year, most positions have been filled. There are no plans for a cutback in staff workers and the budget has neither increased nor decreased. The position of Director of Auxiliary Services (formerly Doug Wasco's) has not been filled, but the money alloted for his salary has been distributed to those who took on extra responsibilities after his departure. Replacing the positions has been a major cost problem for the personnel department. Both clerical and food service positions are in demand. Because there is such a wide range of jobs available to people with clerical skills, and because there are fewer people going to business schools to learn these skills. these people are harder to come by. Augsburg is also in need of a cook and this position is equally hard to fill with a quality person. According to Mork the staff salaries are comparable with salaries for similar positions around the metro- politan area. The salaries are based upon the metropolitan rates in the Minnesota Salary Survey. “In com- parison with what the survey says, we are within 610 percent of what starting rates are on most jobs," stated Mark. in the future there should be no staff cutbacks as long as Augsburg maintains the current FTE standings. There is a leeway of approximately 50 students with Augsburg‘s current standing of 1494. The “fringe benefits“ are costing the college money this year. according to Mork. Fringe benefits have gone up 5 percent and health insurance has gone up 33 Torstenson lecture series in Longfellow community setting By KAREN THORSON Staff Writer The third annual Joel S. Torstenson Lecture will be presented Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 7:30 pm. in the Bartsch Room at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 2730 East 31st Street, Minneapolis. Dr. Torstenson, professor emeritus of sociology, taught for years at Augsburg. He was founder and director of the Urban Studies Program and early developer of the Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs, lnc., consisting of 15 institu— tions. He currently is in Scandinavia involved in his own research and with the Scandinavian Urban Studies Term which he founded. The lecture will feature Max Kirkeberg, Professor of Cultural Georgraphy, San Francisco State University. Kirkeberg's topic will be “Being Human in the City” and will emphasize those things in the physical and social environments in the city which can make life happier. Co—sponsored by Augsburg College and Holy Trinity, the Torstenson lecture is the first in a series of four community dialogues dealing with the concerns of human care in the city. The series, entitled, “The Urban Community in Dialogue: Who Cares About Longfellow?" is sponsored by the church on the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of the congregation in recognition of its role as an active community participant. Longfellow community is the neighborhood in which Holy Trinity is located. The program is made possible in part by a grant from the Minnesota Humanities Commission and in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Humanities. On Nov. 20, Ms. Raye S. Kreevoy, Health Assessment Program Coordin- ator, Jewish Family and Children‘s 3 Service, will present information on “The Shape of Twin Cities Communi- ties“ in terms of what seems to be healthy and unhealthy about life in Twin Cities neighborhoods. Dr. Ernest Sandeen, Professor of" History, Macalester College and author of recent books on Twin Cities communities will present “A Long- fellow Community Narrative," Nov. 27, with a group of elder citizens discussing insights and remembrances of Longfellow community events. The final lecture Tuesday, Dec. 4, will consist of an evening exploring “What's Flight in Longfellow" led by Professor Robert Esbjornson of Gustavus Adolphus College. Each program begins at 7:30 pm. and lasts two hours.

Oct. 25, that, if approved by the faculty as a whole, it would request that the five letters of dismissal sent out by Dean Charles Anderson on October 15 be invalidated. After an hour and a half of discussion with the clean, the senate passed the following motion which will be put to a vote at the Thurs., Nov. 1 faculty meeting: “The faculty requests that the dean rescind the five letters of dismissal sent on Oct. 15, 1979. Recognizing that this may mean a lower faculty base salary for 1980-81, the faculty requests that administration and the Board of Regents explore other means for raising faculty salaries, other than faculty cutbacks."

Richard Marken and Ben Cooper, recipients of the dismissal letter, may be renewed for next year, even though the faculty may not be able to receive a salary increase as large as it would normally be, nor would the increase be in line with the normal cost-of-Iiving increase. One alternative method for raising the salary levels suggested at the senate meeting by Mary Kingsley was the establishment of a fund drive for faculty retention, Also discussed at the meeting was an alternative method of deciding which members of the faculty would be cut if the same circumstances in enrollment and financial resources of the college were to occur in subsequent years. This year, the decision was made by the Dean only and the senate will be discussing other ways to decide this at their next meeting. Most restaurants serve their ’cakes to you in a stack. We don‘t.

There will be a larger student-faculty ratio since no enroll— ment decline is projected for next year. Furthermore, the diversity of courses is likely to decrease. The administration seems deter— mined to build disunity with this issue. The faculty, already seriously under- paid, will be asked to decide whether it wishes to remain underpaid or have some of its members laid off. This implies of course that there is no other source of money for salary increases, and that we will have to scramble and fight among ourselves to decide how to divide up a fixed small amount. The unified opposition of these cutbacks has come, I think, because most of us understand that there is other money around. Quite clearly, money is being spent on building, remodeling, new phone systems, old ice arenas. regents' emergency funds. and an administrative structure that few of us understand. Definite priority decisions have been made about where the available funds get spent. and the establishment of a living wage for the entire faculty is not one of those administrative priorities. I believe that the only way those priorities will be changed is by students, faculty and campus staff insisting in a unified way that it be changed. This struggle between administration (bosses) and campus staff, faculty and students (workers) is the class struggle at Augsburg College. We can expect to face many more job struggles on campus because what happens here is directly related to the power struggle between the maior bosses in the world—the U.S. ruling class and its imperialist rival, the U.S.S.R. ruling class. The U.S. ruling class is losing that struggle for markets and resources (especially oil) and has no other choice but to prepare for war. As more of the country's resources get put into the building of a war machine, there is less available to pay workers‘ wages. Thus -we get inflation, unemployment and speed- up.

These include especially the building of racism by the proliferation of such hate groups as the KKK and Nazis, and an increase in sexist and racist propaganda to build disunity. it also includes police state tactics, to wit the new FBI charter being sponsored by Ted Kennedy. The combination of economig decline and increased terrorization of workers is called fascism. All evidence indicates that we are moving quickly into a period of war and fascism. If we are to turn this around and establish a new set of priorities in this world. we must build unity among all workers in the world and thereby strengthen our class.

Dear Editor: There is something amiss with a system of rank in which Assistant Professors serve as Department Chairpersons, President of the Faculty Senate (two years in a row), Faculty Representative to the' Board of Regents, etc, It seems that when there is work to be done, the system is democratic, but when it comes to reward and recognition. some circumstantially are more equal than others. At times the system of rank and recompense seems to be standing on its head thumbing its nose at fair play and just reward, Perhaps it is time for Assistant Professors to resign their dubious positions of leadership in the casual comedy called Things-As—They-Are; after all, the mess we are in may be ngsburg . confessnons “Confessions” is a term that is often used ambiguously. As one reads the Confessions of Saint Augustine. you find that it is really both a confession of his own shortcomings, and a confession of faith. Tragically, we often remember the first, because Augustine‘s confessions of sin often appear at least overdrawn, if not downright neurotic: and ignore, or forget, the latter. But in the final analysis it is his confession of faith that survives, stated as it is in the face of what appear to him to be irresolvable problems. Historians and philosophers are fond of drawing analo- gies between some prior age and one's own, in the belief that the problems of our own time are not really unique. but have been faced before. Although I do not intend to say that, like Augustine. it is perhaps time to confess one‘s faith rather than abandoning all hope in the face of what sometimes appear to be insurmountable problems in our future. This, then, is intended as a confession of faith. I confess: . . . to a considerable, and I think not unreasonable, degree of faith in the present student generation. If that sounds patronizmg, forgive me. It is not intended to be. It IS rather a reflection based upon more years of experience than I care to specify; and, in part, upon recognition that my own generation has been something less than perfect in resolving the problems that we have had at least a hand in creating. I am aware that some of our students cannot spell; that some have difficulty in putting together an intelligible sentence; that many suffer from inadequate reading skills: and on. and on . . . But lam not sure whether these are merely weaknesses, or indications that some real strengths lie elsewhere. They seem to be better at forming personal relationships than my generation has been; and they reflect a certain impatience with the fragmented approach to learning that characterizes so much of contemporary education. I do not find them any less thoughtful or reflective. but their grounds are different. They seem to be suggesting that a wholistic approach may be as necessary and productive in education as it promises to be in medical science. We should have known all along that education is not merely of the intellect; but of the emotions, of the personality. of the whole person as well. . . to a high degree of confidence in the future of “liberal arts" education. The very term itself implies a liberation of the person, not only from the strictures of our early experiences, but also from the notion that education of the intellect somehow takes place apart from the maturation process. Maturity. in part. requires both the Willingness, and the ability. to be self»ref|ective. and. if the occasmn calls for it, to be self-critical. If there is a sine qua non of the educational process, it is that all of us must, at some point, confront an idea that provokes self- examination. l have here no special point of view to defend. | only wish to encourage some thought about the educational process, and about the contexts in which it takes place. Education is an amazingly complex business, so it's no wonder that we tend to focus upon only one facet at a time. it is that very com- plexity that should remind us that a college can provide only the occasion, and an enwronment suited to the educational process; never the education itself. . . to a profound faith in the potential of an Augsburg College education: and along with that. a conwction that we, all of us, need very badly to be more clear in our own minds about what our educational goals are, and how we might go about improving our ways of achieving them. Sometimes we say that Augsburg is a Christian college, admitting at the same time that we do not really know what that means, or ought to mean. One thing I am sure it does not mean—we are not all equally adept at public expression of the insights of the faith. But, if it means anything at all, it must at least be that we are convmced of the relevance of faith to the problems of living. What the Christian faith can contribute to helping us to face the difficult times and decisions in the years ahead is not immediately obvious, but the conviction that it is relevant, and ought to be helpful, is at least a part of what it means to be a Christian college. Wouldn‘t it be interesting. and maybe even useful, for a college community to undertake the task of making that relevance clear? Kenneth C, Bailey Professor of Philosophy considerably their fault. If the "infamous pipeline" for promotion is indeed plugged for the foreseeable future, then we ought to blow the pipes clean, replace the pipes and/or their system, or reassign expectations and responsibilities ac- cording to where one is stuck along the pipeline. (For example. why not a flexible system of promotion and demotion based annually upon work done in the preceding year? Thus a person might be a full professor one year and an instructor the next. Boy, would that get the juices flowing through the pipes! And while we are at it, why not apply the same system to the Administration and Staff?) I am disturbed. too, at how the metaphors for the College have changed in recent yeais, what WI h planning by objective. cost accounting. intangible benefits and all. It seems the notorious lvory Tower (not to mention the auspicious Auggie Tech) has been replaced by a despicable Corporate Sewage and Waste System, composed of pipelines, bottom lines. offICIal lines, lines of least resistance, and a whole lot of people holding their noses at the end of the line.

The candidates are: Mike Barros (IR), Don Fraser (DFL), independents Tom McDonald and Charles Stenvig, and Socialist Worker‘s candidate Gayle Swann. They were questioned by a student panel of Harold Weick, Kris Johnson, and Tedd Peterson. The 33-year-old Barros, who hopes to become the first Republican mayor of Minneapolis in 20 years, clearly had the best campaigning skills. He spoke clearly, confidently, and unhesitantly, and was very outgoing Fraser, on the other hand, is known for his dislike of campaigning, and was more concerned with thinking out his answers carefully than he was with making an impression as a good public orator. One of the major issues discussed was the problems in the city‘s police department. Fraser and Barros both criticized the politicking which goes on in the department. They said that appointments and promotions are often made on the basis of “connections” and political ties rather than actual qualifications. Fraser said that there are people campaigning "for one of the candidates“ that will expect to get jobs in the department if that candidate is elected. Fraser and Barros both see the elimination of politics in the police department as a major goal. At this point Barros made his first jab at Fraser, He said, “I only read the first paragraph (of Fraser‘s proposal on how the police chief should be chosen) and got bored with it.“ Stenvig. on the other hand, feels that this issue has been exaggerated. He said that politics infiltrate every aspect of society and that this fact cannot be changed. The candidates were also asked what they would do to deal with the energy crisis this country will be facing in the 805. Fraser and Barros both advocated gradually moving away from the dependence on nuclear energy Minneapolis now has. Barros said, “I will be active, . , in protesting nuclear power." Fraser would set up an Office of Energy Affairs which would have four objectives: (1) improve conservation in the city government's buildings and transportation practices, (2) seek legislation and state or Federal funding in support of solar energy research and implementation, (3) educate citizens on conservation practices, and (4) act as facilitators for Candidates answer to student panel The mayoral panel, moderated by Gary Hesser [far left] proved entertaining as candidates innovation in the area of alternative energy sources. Similarly, Barros would set up a task force to derive short and long range energy goals for the city, and he pointed out that St. Paul already has such a task force. He said, “we don‘t have people meeting regularly to discuss our energy problems." Barros also emphasized the importance of educating people, and changing the current attitudes concerning consump- tion and conservation. Swann and McDonald both called for the immediate shutdown of nuclear reactors, and Stenvig joined them in advocating greater dependence on coal. Swann said, “My position is that nuclear power should be shut down immediately, right now, absolutely 100 per cent across the country." Swann was the only candidate who came out against the downtown domed stadium, Stenvig has said since 1972 that the decision should be up to the people of Minneapolis in the form of a referendum, and McDonald agreed with him. Fraser and Barros both believe that the stadium is generally a good idea, but emphasized that funding for the stadium should not come out of property taxes. Barros took another jab at Fraser at this point. He said, “Fraser is the only one up here that is a lawyer, which is another reason you shouldn‘t vote for the man,“ Fraser evoked applause and laughter with his reply: “I have only one defense, and that is that I wasn‘t a very good one." All of the candidates agreed that the housing shortage is becoming a critical problem in Minneapolis. Fraser said that there are already programs set up which could help alleviate the problem if they were carried out, but added that “the problem is to make sure the city does it." Barros pointed out that the city should fight to receive more money from the Federal “section 8" program which helps subsidize housing costs. Swann advocated a mass public works program which would build low-income housing as .— inside: Candidates battle in Augsburg’s ward Letters Former Auggies run for office Tappers top opening Volleyball and football win Soccer extends streak to 7 Jibes and jabs entertain students in mayoral debate went on the detenSive. iEcHO Photo by Rod/l1 Sale/en well as schools, hospitals, and other public buildings. After answering questions from the panel, and some from the crowd, the candidates were given a chance to make summarizing Statements. Stenvig closed by saying that his three primary objectives as mayor would be "strong, fair, and impartial law enforcement for all," trying to hold the line on property taxes, and listening to the needs of the people. Fraser spent his closing statement refuting criticisms that Stenvig had aimed at him.

Show moreZollie Green in By ROALD SATEREN Editor “It‘s a . . . The rumbling of footsteps on the backstairs disrupted the conversation and Zollie Green yelled: “Will you kids go out and play in the freeway!" In through the door bursts Green‘s youngest son, Jason, who jumps on top of the bald-headed Alderman and yells: “Nuggee patrol, nuggee patrol." while pounding Green on the noggin. Seeking his fifth consecutive term as Ninth Ward Alderman, Zollie Green continued: “It's agood fight this time. I can't predict any outcome, because you don‘t know how people will vote anymore. It's very unpredictable." Elected as an Independent in 1971, Green is running once again without a party after losing the DFL endorse- ment to Tony Scallon. Green, who considers himself a liberal on human rights issues and a fiscal conservative, is comfortable as an Independent. “That way no one can figure out what my philosophy is, but that‘s okay, let 'em keep guessing," said Green with a chuckle, Emphasizing his past record of service in the campaign, Green said, “I don’t make a big thing out of issues, but an alderman's responsibility to his constituents never goes." Scallon has attacked Green for his attendance record at council and committee meetings; however, Green contends that rather than looking at his entire eight years of service, Scallon has focused on a specific period in 1979. “I don't say anything about it because most people don't give a damn," said Green, “To me its piddlely.“ Two concerns Green wants to deal with if re-elected are: the condition of housing in the ward and the revitalization of the business com- munity. Asked if he got involved in the dispute over Augsburg‘s demolition of houses, Green said: “Oh, did I get in on that one! The PAC people think I can just wave a magic wand. The Constitution allows you to do just about anything you want with property you own." According to Green, Augsburg has positive proof that the houses torn down were completely beyond repair. But in regard to other housing, Green stressed that Augsburg could be a better landlord, “I get pretty fried at them (Augsburg) sometim; " Gr' ‘n said. "If they wanted 0 be strong community leaders they would start a housing program." A strong center city and a need for economic stability are major concerns of Green‘s. "If this means helping big handling of the Tempo Bar contro— re-election bid emphasizes past record '3 business, I don't give a damn," he said. Unlike his opponent, Green supports the construction of a domed stadium downtown. “I'm for it and I voted for it," Green said. According to Green a new stadium would provide thousands of jobs. “It will broaden the .tax base because business and industry will pick up the tab," he said. Scallon has criticized Green for his versy. The Tempo located at 2027 Franklin Ave. East was the center of concern for neighboring residents last year. Scallon lead the fight to revoke the bar’s liquor license. Green, on the other hand, feels that many of the allegations were unfounded. Green believes it was the killing of an off-duty police officer outside the bar last year that brought the issue to a head. According to Green, the policeman “got what he deserved." Apparently, the officer had pulled a gun on some people in a Lake Street bar earlier that day. The man who shot the officer was never indicted, explained Green. Green has refused to support publicly any of the candidates running for mayor. “No one discusses the mayoral race in my office," said Green. Campaigning comes easy for Green. “I love it," he said. “I have more fun, even with door-knocking." While campaigning recently, Green came to a home where a man said he was going to vote for Tony Scallon. Green's response: “if I'm elected and you need help, please call me." Challenger Scallon calls for leadership By PENNY BECKER "We need some leadership from the Ninth Ward to get the money back into this neighborhood,” said alderman candidate Tony Scallon. Scallon felt comfortable on Augs- burg's campus in his plaid sportshirt and jeans. “I always spend this time of year at Augsburg registering voters," he said. Scallon considered the housing issue a major consideration in the Ninth Ward and viewed Augsburg’s role as an important one. Renovation is the key to cleaning up the problem, according to Scallon. “We need to make the incentive to renovate rather than demolish." This incentive would be a financial one in the form of “low interest loans and grants for people who will renovate.” “Augsburg,” said Scallon, “has a responsibility to fit in with the rest of the neighborhood." He urged renova- tion of currently owned homes to avoid “hostile feelings" over demolition in the community. Renovation could be an advantage for Augsburg, according to Scallon, because it “will create a more positive image for the college." The importance of Augsburg's housing may take on greater magnitude if present trends in the rental market continue. “As fewer rental units are available," said Scallon, “Augsburg will have to look at their houses as the major housing source for their students." “Let’s put the money out here where people can use it," Scallon said referring to the Minneapolis Bond money. “Downtown is going to make it; the money needs to go out into the neighborhoods." He charged that too much attention has been paid to special interest rather than the average citizen, He criticized current Alderman Zollie Green for his attendance record, political tactics, and bicycle. “Green has had the worst attendance record of the Southside aldermen,” said Scallon. “It was Green who allowed those houses to be torn down even though the residents were upset." “It's a good political tactic to ride by on your bike," said Scallon. “You don't have to talk to anybody," Scallon has been involved in several controversies over area bars. “I'm not against small business," he said, “but they should run a decent place,“ He expressed concern over the Minneapolis Police Department. “What we need is more policemen out on the street than downtown sitting behind a desk," Scallon teaches children with learning disabilities in Mendota Heights. He is a graduate of Mankato State University and has worked on his master's in history at the University of Minnesota. “At $26,000 a year, this is not a part-time job," he said. Scallon intends to use the position as a chance to “take care of the smaller problems people have." “I will be here at Augsburg a lot," he added. —ECHO Pho/o by Tedd Pele/son ROALD SATEREN “mi.- ‘ n t" TEDD PETERSON assoialz‘ 611' BOYD KOEHLER 'a..

Show morem Continued from page 6 far for students. The proposal which would have allowed college and vocational students to ride the bus as cheaply as students in elementary and secondary schools passed out of the Senate, but not the House of Representatives. Paulson feels that the defeated proposal did have a positive outcome, however. “It made the legislature more aware that students are not to be taken lightly. They are not as big a force as the senior citizens, but they still should be listened to," Paulson said. The Psychology major/Communica- tions minor was just one credit short of another minor in Political Science. Paulson's other political experience includes serving on the Longfellow Planning District Citizen's Advisory Council, Minneapolis Housing and Fle- development Senior Citizen's Aide at the Hiawatha Towers in 1975, being a Powderhorn Area Block Captain in the Minneapolis Community Crime Pre- vention Program, being elected to the city-wide Minneapolis Capital Long- Range Improvements Committee (CLIC), Property Services, and Transportation Task Force, and serving as a legislative intern in the Minnesota House of Representatives, Local and Urban Affairs Committee, 1977 session.

Although Paulson claims to have no long-range political aspirations, he ran Continued from page 8 eighth floor, produces contemporary American drama by young American playwrights. Their 385 seat theatre has a semi-thrust stage and will see the first Cricket production on Oct. 26. The other eight tenants are: Minnesota Theater Institute of the Deaf, Allusion Theater, Twin Cities Metropolitan Arts Alliance, Metropoli- tan State University, Minnesota Public Program Corporation, Performance Art Shop, Minnesota Crafts Council, and the Minnesota Chorals. These organizations have their offices in the center, and also use the 160 seat Hennepin Center Theater located on the second floor. The theatre is also rented on a short term basis by a variety of performers and visual artists. The Hennepin Center is also a new approach to the arts because it will eventually become a self-sustaining theatre arts complex. Various retailers, the majority of which are restaurants, will lease the lower level of the center to offset the non-profit area. As of now, rent is subsidized by the state government. The Hennepin Center for the Arts is yet another indication that downtown Minneapolis is and will be undergoing drastic change. It is definitely one of the best things to happen to “the avenue" as of late, a visitor of the Center noted. Peter Knapp, the center's assistant project manager, also in charge of operations, stated that he thought the opening celebration was a “howling success,“ and also was an indication of how vital a role the center will play in the future of downtown Minneapolis. Its location and programs offer convenience and variety for those in the community interested in the arts, explained Knapp. Nov. 2, 1979 this time because he felt that he had to. If Paulson is victorious, he won't quit his present job at Jay Kline Chevrolet because the Park Board Commission position only pays $100 a month, a small amount compared to the “couple thousand" that Paulson is investing in his campaign. Paulson feels that it will be a close contest, but is surethat he “will come out on top." “I can't think of anything I’d like to spend so much time on," Paulson added. Paulson concluded with some advice for future Augsburg candidates: “Save up some money, it goes like paper. Try to get a few politically active friends involved and then pull out all the stops and run up a big debt.” Couture from page 6 of the people interviewed named Bob Benedict, who was mayor three years ago. Al Hofstede was named by 17 percent of the people as the present mayor of Bloomington. It might be an asset for Couture that only two percent interviewed knew who the mayor was. One obstacle Couture faces is his age, but Bloomingtonites have already shown their tolerance for youth when they elected Bob Benedict as mayor at the age of 23. Couture worked with Benedict in an internship program at Augsburg. Couture‘s awareness of issues and confidence have silenced many people‘s fears about his age. Couture feels confident about winning. “If we have over 20 percent of the people voting, I‘m sure I’ll win. If it‘s under 20 percent, it's going to be close," he said.

On fourth down. quarterback Steve Yeazle dropped back into the pocket and hit Scott Severson with the winning touchdown pass. After Augsburg kicked off, Tom Ross intercepted a Royal pass to wrap up the 20-17 victory. Bethel led the Auggies most of the game. They scored first on a drive prolonged by a “roughing the kicker" penalty called against Augsburg. The touchdown came on a pass from quarterback Jim Anderstrom to Kim Cooper from 14 yards out.

Augsburg's Steve Flosvold received Soccer:seventh straight shutout By TEDD PETERSON Assorlate Editor Augsburg‘s soccer team defeated second place St. Thomas 1-0 last Saturday in spite of the Tommies‘ home-field advantage. Goalie Mark Anderson and the Auggie defense have not been scored on in their last seven games. One of the players said of Anderson, “He's been so consistent it‘s uncanny.“ St. Thomas, known for their "imported" players, played a very rough game, but their offense. and espeCIally offensive star Estabane Pedrosa, was effectively frustrated by Augsburg's defense. Augsburg‘s score came on an indirect kick from about 30 meters out. Kevin Oss kicked the ball to Captain Jerry Jackson before the Tommies had set up their defense. This was a strategy they had worked on in practice. Jackson got the ball about 15 meters out and punched home the winning score. Earlier that week Augsburg beat Carleton 2-0 in a non-conference game on goals by Chris Ascher and Dave Fressler. Augsburg is now two games behind conference leader St. John's and half a game behind St. Thomas.

Volleyball team defeats St. Catherine By LAURIE JESSEN Sports Editor Augsburg fell behind quickly against St. Catherine on Tuesday, Oct. 23 due to lack of coverage and inaccurate bumps, but managed to over-power St. Kate's and win the match 3-2. St Kate's set good blocks and placed their hits well in'the first game. The Auggies found themselves facing an 8-3 margin. Some of the Augsburg concentration seemed to reappear as their defensive net play improved. Team play was missing as was the spirit and talent of Peg Meisner who was out with an injured ankle. Augsburg was unable to overcome these factors and dropped the game 15-7. The Auggies coverage and back- court play stiffened for the second game. allowing them to jump to an 8-1 lead. Augsburg served consistently and St. Kate‘s had trouble handling the serves with their forearm passing. Augsburg began utilizing various shots with downs and dinks dropping into holes on the opposite side of the net. This forced St, Catherine to take time out with Augsburg on top 12-2. Kathy Korum kept the Auggies on the track by using a variety of hits that consistently found holes in the Katies defense, The entire team moved well to give Augsburg the second game 15-13.

The Saturday afternoon provided the cliche autumn weather for an excitement—filled round of “chase the magic bean." Although the fireworks didn't start until late in the first half, the game was far from a "boredom bowl.“ Mid-way thru the second quarter the previous defensive battle paid off in the form of an Augsburg interception by Jerry Rezac. Auggie quarterback, Steve Yeazle engineered a 40-yard drive culminating in a 7-yard spin-twist touchdown run by freshman Tony Nelson. The point after missed the mark; Augsburg led 6-0 with five minutes left. On their final possession of the first half Augsburg looked determined to blow the game open. inside the one-minute mark, Yeazle found split—end Scott Severson on the end of a 40-yard touchdown pass. Yeazle then hit Rick Redetzke for the two-point conversion. Augsburg headed for the dressing room with a 140 half-time margin. In the second half, marching deep into Hamline territory, Augsburg appeared to be feeding the fire started in the second quarter. But just as the game looked safely in hand. the momentum began to change quickly in favor of Hamline. Running back Duke Lachinskl lost the handle on Hamline‘s 6-yard line, killing the drive.

Show moreShut-outs over Bethel and Gustavus Soccer team extends streak to four games The magic number for the Augsburg soccerteam is “4.” After four straight victories the Auggies are now the sole possessors of fourth place in the MIAC. Because the first six teams make the playoffs, that isn't the worst place to be. Their third victory came on Oct. 17 against Bethel. Although it was a very physical game Augsburg came out on top with goals by Chris Ascher and Kevin Oss. Augsburg won by two goals to nill. The first goal came on a pass from Matt Ellingson to 055. After stealing the ball Ellingson hit 055 with a breakaway pass that 033 buried deep in the Bethel net. The second goal was a product of a Paul Whitten cross. Ascher handled the pass, beat the defenders for another break-away and laid the game to rest.

The fourth win was the result of an Oct. 20 rematch with Gustavus, who beat Augsburg on Sept. 22 by 1 goal to niII. This time Augsburg turned the tables and beat the Gusties 20. The scoring came off the foot of Chris Ascher and a Gustie defense— man. While battling Auggie Tim Kidder for the ball a Gustie defenseman tried to kick the ball over the end line; instead he punched it over his own goalie’s head to put Augsburg up 1-0. Next, Ellingson hit Ascher with a break-away pass. Ascher headed for the net and put the ball by the Gustie tender who had slipped in the mud. Has Augsburg come out of its first-half slump? After battling the rough play of Bethel and the mud field of Gustavus and coming out with a solid grasp of fourth place, that may well be the case. iECHO Pholo by Jim Haugen 3393433 M-F 10-9.

The Auggies had trouble with shots close to the net and had several net violations causing them to fall behind 10—3. But, the defense began to read the Gusties offensive fakes. Improved hitting by Lisa Ness, Deb Thompson and Julie Reinke combined with better defense brought Augsburg battling back to a score of 13-11. The consistent serving of Dana Holmes and the super play of Kathy Korum highlighted the Auggie play but wasn‘t enough to bring them all the way back. Gustavus won 15—13. The second game was a different story. Powerful hitting by Kathy Korum put the Auggies ahead 7—0 and called for a Gusties time-out. Strategic blocking played a big factor in Augsburg's dominance at the net. Their consistent serving was portrayed by the final perfectly placed shot of Dana Holmes that gave them a 15-0 win. The third game began with an exchange of errors. The Bees were blocking well at the net but Augsburg got around them by effectively using down shots to give them a 10—8 lead. Hustle and determination gave Augsburg the game 15-9, Generally strong hitting and sound defensive play marked the fourth game. However the Bees proved slightly stronger winning 15-9. Game five was Augsburg all the way. Good serving by Bunny Boom gave them a quick 5-2 lead. Gustavus could not generate an offesne because the Auggies consistently beat them at the net. Everyone on the Augsburg team had a good night of play. They won the final game 15—6 giving them the match 3-2. The scores reflected how close the games were against the Universny of Minnesota-Duluth, on Thursday, Oct. 18. Augsburg started the night with a 2-0 lead. Good net play soon evened the score. The two teams exchanged serves with those on the power play gaining the point. Consistent spiking and good blocking by the Auggies kept the ball alive. UMD kept battling back to keep the score even. All players were hitting well and placing their shots. Because of last minute mistakes Augsburg lost 15-12. The lead seeShow less

Show moreeditorials Draft unconstitutional and immoral Forget about Augsburg College for a minute. Forget about tests, papers, grades, and even about what’s going on this weekend. Think for a moment about a 15 or 16-year—old brother, nephew, or neighbor. His main concerns are cars, girls, zits, sports, and perhaps sneaking an occasional beer, right? Now think of him two or three years from now. He is behind a tree or a pile of sandbags, and raises a somewhat shaky rifle to his shoulder. Against his moral instincts, and for reasons he is unsure of, but in obedience to the United States government, he pulls the trigger and kills another teenager—a teenager probably equally unconcerned about politics, and probably also there against his will. lt‘ll never happen? Maybe. An emotional over-dramatization? Maybe. But there is a strong movement going on right now in this country in the top levels of government which seeks to reinstate the draft. This draft movement is part of the preparation for a possible economic war in the near future. Can our government absolve us from our conscience in this way? Does American foreign policy take precedence over the commandment “Thou shalt not kill?” This principle has come up before. Nazi war criminals have been executed for obeying their government rather than their moral principles. Obviously the acts themselves are not comparable, but the idea is the same. The draft is based on the assumption that the government can compel its citizens to kill, whether or not such a killing is considered immoral by the individual citizen involved. As was agreed in the Nazi war trials, no individual is justified in allowing governmental obedience to override his moral precepts. As well as immoral, the draft is unconstitutional. The thirteenth amendment reads: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. " For those who wish not to serve, the draft is obviously and unquestionably “involuntary servitude.“ The fifth and fourteenth amendments both guarantee that no person shall be deprived “of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” Draftees are obviously deprived of liberty, and possibly deprived of life. Are they given due process of law? Of course not. There are no lawyers, no hearings, and no trials which can protect their liberty; they simply have to go. The draft is unconstitutional and immoral. This country should not allow its government to reinstate this establishment.

For the first time in many years, women at Augsburg gathered to discuss what the problem of violence against women meant on campus and what could be done about it. The group met from 3:00 pm. to 4:30 pm. in the Flexible Dining Room #1, with many distinguished Augsburg women attending including Marianne Sander, Vice President for Student Affairs and Title IX Officer for Student Programs; Barbara McEachern, Assis- tant Director of Career Planning and Placement; Cindy Ragan, Head Resident or Urness Tower; some members of the women‘s group recently formed this year; and two women faculty members. Judy Essman and Barbara Sander- son, both from the Center for Student Development, introduced the speakers to the group. Mary Mandayville, a re- presentative of the national WAVAW organization, stressed a woman's right to feel safe, free and strong; one of the ways she suggested this goal might be accomplished was to inform and educate the public about the myths surrounding rape, such as “Only young, beautiful women are raped" and “Women wanted it to happen to them by wearing sexy clothing" and so forth. Debbie Rich, assistant director of the Rape Center in Minneapolis, gave some remarkable national statistics on rapes: 50 percent and above are “acquaintance” rapes (both the victim and the rapist know each other), which are the least likely to be reported to the police. More than half of all rapes are planned and occur in the victim’s own home or apartment and the threat of force is usually used by the rapist. Ms. Flich emphasized that “No one deserves to be sexually assaulted" (men have also been counseled by the Center as victims). The Rape Center employs a full-time and volunteer staff thoroughly trained to meet the needs of victims and friends. Next, a student from Macalester College, Norah Elson-Sudia, described her struggle to eliminate sexism at Macalester through a student group she formed called Victim Advocate. She said that the group gave workshops for many Macalester offices and departments which would be involved with rape victims and challenged sexist remarks made by male professors as well as parties for students which encouraged drinking. (Barbara Sanderson later explained that alcohol is used as an excuse to be violent, especially violent against women). Nadira Somwaru, a member of the Project Area Committee (PAC) on the West Bank, showed concern for Cedar- Ftiverside residents and said the rape prevention meeting held Oct. 10, 1979, concluded with a variety of prevention tactics including the use of whistles warning others of an attack taking place, self-defense courses, safe houses, and an escort service. It is highly probable that Somwaru will begin a new WAVAW chapter in this area soon. The final speaker was Barbara Sanderson, an intern in the CSD department and a graduate student at the University of Minnesota. She emphasized the need for all women on campus to ally with each other, regardless of racial or economic back- ground, to “reclaim ALL of our human—ness." After a period of discussing the problems and needs of Augsburg (primarily the atmosphere of unin- formed fear and the rumors that run wild and remain unsubstantiated), some possible solutions were proposed including a support group, counseling and peer education for victims, monitoring of sexist remarks made by professors in the classroom, increased security on campus (Marianne Sander pointed out that the present Park Detective Agency will soon be replaced by off—duty Minneapolis Police Officers), more publicity of women‘s issues in the school paper, a 24-hour phone line open for victims to call and get help, an escort service and the formation of committees to examine various problems as assessed by the group. All in all, this meeting was very informative and well-organized in its approach to preventing violence (violence meaning everything from sexist remarks to the rape and murder of women) against women at Augsburg. If anyone is interested in attending future meetings of this group, please contact either Judy Essman or Barbar Sanderson through the CSD office. information. Monroe‘s concert was a good one, probably the best l've heard in the eight years that I‘ve been aware of his act. The Echo seems to be on a very positive upswing this year. A more accurate system of coverage would be more in keeping with its current trend. I would hope that errors of this gross degree are “On Their Way Back Down." Lisa Rnsinko Class of 1980 Retention of faculty urged To the Editor: V We, the undersigned. disagree With the action taken concerning the possible release of the following five faculty members at Augsburg: Toni Clark, English; Ben Cooper, mathe- matics; Robert Lammers, biology; Richard Marken, psychology; and Joel Mugge, communications. All of us feel that these teachers are a vital part of the Augsburg faculty. The loss of any of these five people would be a strong blow to the quality of education at Augsburg! We strongly urge the administration to retain these faculty members and to explore other means of relieving budget pressures. Signed, Joan Maland and more to come” Oct. 26, 1979

Show moreStudents attend Midwest Conference Against the Draft By TEDD PETERSON Associate Editor It was nearing midnight, and the windy streets of north suburban Chicago were beginning to quiet down. A friend and I, the self-appointed "Augsburg delegates" to the Midwest Conference Against the Draft (Oct. 19-21), had just been dropped off at Northwestern University. We pro- ceeded to the Norris Center, where we were sure we could catch the end of the opening session, or at least find some of the conference officials cleaning up and closing up the auditorium. Unfortunately, it was already closed and there was no one to be found. We had registered a week beforehand and reserved lodging for the weekend, but we couldn't find anyone connected with the conference. The several addresses and phone numbers we had been given led us nowhere. We had a place to stay, all right. We just didn't know where it was. Rather than spend the night in over-stuffed chairs in the student center, we decided to walk through the campus once more in hope of finding someone from the conference. Instead, we ran across a small, naturally-protected area on the shore of Lake Michigan, where we decided to unroll our sleeping bags and “camp.” The weather was beautiful for it; temperatures that weekend reached the 805 in Chicago. Awakened by the sun the next morning, we “broke camp” and headed for the conference auditorium. We found the room full of large banners declaring the presence of various national and local political groups: Students for a Libertarian Society, Spartucus Youth League, Revolutionary Student Brigade, Demo- cratic Socialist Organizing Committee, Viet Nam Veterans Against the War, and the Coalition Against Registration Farouﬂ No service charges No bounced checks Earns 5% 0/0 daily And if you need an occasional check—money orders available Convenient: Just across the street in the Fairview-St. Mary‘s Medical Office Bldg. Hrs: Mon-Fri. 10:00 a m.-5:30 pm and the Draft, to name a few. All of the organizations had tables set up abounding with literature, buttons, bumper stickers, and T-shirts denouncing the draft. It was impossible to leave your seat, even to go to the bathroom, without being approached at least twice and asked to buy newspapers from the Spartucus Youth League or the Communist Youth Organization. The first speaker of Saturday's session, Duane Shank, National Director of CARD (Coalition Against Registration and the Draft), presented a brief history of the movement to reinstate the draft. The first vote in Congress, in August, 1978, lost by a considerable margin. In January of 1979, ten different bills were introduced in Congress, one of which would have required all citizens between the ages of 18 and 26 to register for the draft by Jan. 1, 1980. After committee and floor hearings, the House decided with a 90-vote margin to delay consideration of the issue until late in 1980, probably after the 1980 elections. The issue has not yet come before the Senate. According to Shank, Carter's current stand against the draft is politically motivated—he realizes that if he comes out in favor of the draft he will lose many vital votes. David Cortright, a Viet Nam veteran who organized resistance to the war while in the service, spoke next on American Imperialism, which he called the “root cause of the draft." He said that the recent Russian threat was a farce, and that U.S. military concern does not center on national defense. Rather, it centers on “bolstering our economic interests." Other speakers Saturday morning discussed the unconstitutionality of the draft, the ethical—moral problems of war and the draft, discriminatory aspects of the draft as well as of the military in general, and the prolifera- a; use YOUR SAVlNS COUT AND SAIVE PLENTY AT THE RlyerSIde Community State Bank Member F D l C Oct. 26, 1979 tion of nuclear weaponry, which, like the draft, is a result of growing militarism in upper governmental circles. Workshops for anti-draft political organizations were held Saturday afternoon. The workshop entitled “Organizing in Colleges" turned out to be a discussion between students from many campuses on the problem of the anti-draft movement in schools. The biggest problem was unanimously decided to be student apathy; students are either not aware that the return of the draft is a strong possibility, or they don't care that it is. The only suggestion to combat this apathy was continual and patient efforts to educate students nation-wide on the issue. The final resolutions and political strategy of the conference were decided on Sunday in the closing session. The main resolutions were to develop unity and communications between campuses and between various political groups, to continue educating students on the draft issue, and to make the draft an important issue in the 1980 elections.

Death and self-aware- ness are my inheritance and abstract- ing is my game. Shame exists to the right of me and a goal with its mirror to the left of me: slowly I become Sodom salt when I look into the mirror. And how many times can a man deafen his ears and pretend he just doesn't hear Abel's life crying from the ground “down every lonely street that's ever been.” The world of humans is convoluted. Apathy has become a virtue. Subject- ivism has become such an objective realism that we are becoming like islands, engrossed in our minds, separate from every other mind which also experiences life. We sit in dubiety pondering whether we have the right to tell someone he is doing wrong regardless of the consequences of the wrongness involved. It is not as if we think morality is a dream, for we are constantly under its guidance. The point of the abyss is when we don't come to the doubting of morality itself, but rather whether our individual moral principles exist outside of our— selves or solely in and due to our own experiences. If this is the belief I consistently take, then i can be driven into extreme subjectivism. And if subjectivism is all I can conclude then apathy is a consequence. But I have concern for some things; therefore i am not totally subjective. Therefore I must have some fundamental reality which is universal and extant outsnde of me. This is the reality of life and love, And how l know the latter. oh. too much through guilt, And the former by tears of joy and sadness. But sometimes even both of these are clouded over due to insecurities, defensiveness and selfishness. Yet what is life but a goal, and we have to keep on trying to allow Life to permeate outwards and form invisible umbilical connections to everything which has Life. But in order for this to happen we have to wake up and stop trying to go to Tarshish and realize our situation. We have to stop screaming, “Don't blame me!“ We have to bear the responsibility of the past, present and future in the now when making our major decisions, for our actions (physical and mental) havetremendous consequences on humanity and the earth.

Show morepoul kilqore The best Halloween i ever had occured in late July of 1972. At that time I was going through a transitional stage, being too young for tricks and too old for treats. Halloween still had its charm, however, mainly because it was the one day a year set aside to commemorate that great American institution, the horror story. For those of you who think i am overemphasizing the horror story's role in our culture, take a look at the number of books and films to come from this genre. especially in recent years. Americans realized long ago that being terrified ranks as one of the best ways to forget the worries and fears of modern life. So it was just as good as Halloween—no, it was Halloween—when, on that certain July night, I crowded around a campfire with two schoolteachers and a half a dozen other junior high school kids to tell ghost stories. We were on a wooded island in the Boundary Waters, right in the middle of a week-long canoe trip. When one of the teachers, Mr. Lykins, boasted that he could scare the daylights out of us, we laughed. After all, we were teenagers and didn't frighten easily. The first few stories were fun, but not scary. By midnight, though, Lykins was starting to roll out the heavy artillery. We had heard about the ghost with the golden arm, the mysterious blackout at St. Cloud State, and even the Green Giant Phantom from LeSueur. “But this next story,” Lykins told us, “actually happened to me. It’s not secondhand information." “I grew up in Montevideo," he began, “near the western edge of Minnesota. When i was in high school, every Friday night l’d go with a bunch of kids to this drive-in restaurant where we’d get something to eat, have a few root beers, just DC)pr SUfQGfu By LEW HOTCHKISS About six feet tall, lacking any sign of tentacles, not green but Florida tan, apparently male (attired as such), Caucasian, possessing fluent English, he was asking instructor, Dan Peterson, and myself, if we cared to take a quick trip out to his home planet. “It‘s not very far—two or three hundred lights (light-years) away." His face showed no signs of mental illness, only frequent twitching of the crew's—feet, grown together eyebrows, bags under the eyes, and other tell tales. it was possible that he was giving us the truth. “l‘d like to,” Dan said, “but I have an astronomy class in about half an hour. Maybe some other time." Dan looked at me with questioning eyes, perhaps indicating his disbelief in the man. “We won't be gone that long, in fact, we will come back, return, and reconnoiter this spot before we discussed the matter.“ He pulled on the watch fob on his vest and out came a watch-like object, shiny and golden, studded with silver buttons, and emitting a low level hum. “You don‘t have any choice in the matter and we must be going immediately." He pressed the silver buttons on the watch, held the watch up in the air a foot over his head, and insisted that we not run away. Nothing seemed to be happening. i noticed a clock on the schoolroom wall. Its second hand was no longer turning clockwise. instead it had reversed and was accelerating back in time. The hour and minute hand were regressing as well. Dan had noticed the clock at about the same time that I had, if the word “time” goof around. Then we'd drive down country roads and look for couples parking. When we found a parked car, we'd sneak up to it and pound on the hood, then run. The cars didn't stay parked there very long after that." We giggled. Teachers didn‘t usually tell us things like this. "We’d usually end up at this park," Lykins continued. “It was pretty convenient because there were a couple of outhouses there, and after all those root beers we sometimes had to use them. “So one Friday night, we were at the drive-in, as usual. About ten o‘clock we heard a bunch of sirens and saw about six police cars come roaring right through town. That was kind of strange because Montevideo's a small town, and I didn‘t think there were half a dozen policemen in the whole county. We forgot about it, though, and after eleven went out looking for parkers and pounding on cars. Well, a little after midnight we came to that park and goofed around a bit before deciding to leave. I was just going to use the bathroom there when a couple of police cars drove by. We were worried that they were after us for pounding on those cars, so we hopped in my car and took off. We went home a little while later. “The next morning, when I got up, my mom asked me if I’d heard what had happened in town the night before. ‘No what?‘ I answered. “They caught a murderer,‘ my mom said. ‘He shot a man in Montana and the police chased him across the Dakotas all yesterday. He drove right into town last night with six police cars following him. They finally found him around one o'clock this morning down in the park. He had been holed up in the men's outhouse down there for about three hours. He was armed, and the police wounded him when he came out."' it was quiet around the campfire. “That's true?” someone finally asked, “Every word of it. It all happened." “And you were just ready to go into where the murderer was hiding?" “i had my hand on the door." That was the last story of the night. We all got up and put out the fire. The air was chilly, and a stiff wind was coming in off the lake. We went to our tents, where we drank pop and played cards through the night. No one came out until the sun was up the next morning. was useable in our unusual situation. “This is different," he said, “and not in agreeance with physical theories, but, (the room was beginning to fade around the edges), I'm open to new evidence." We were experiencing time dilation, that is, time was shrinking, and matter was losing its ability to change. Motion was being reduced to zero. Matter was losing its material properties and melting into forces and plasmas. Our bodies were somehow immune to all of this, however, and | hypothesized to Dan that it must be some kind of field of relativity. “Your guess is as good as mine. I'm sure that ‘he' must know what is going on. It seems to be following, somewhat, the theories of Einstein after all. It‘s too bad ‘he' won't tell us—" The interruption of Dan was caused by his awe of void that now surrounded us. We had never seen “nothing” but here it was. Our minds were attempting to cope with it. I could not rationally comprehend it yet. It made “know” sense. How could it make any sense? Who ever heard of a null set existing? i almost could see a unicorn off in the distance. My mind was going. Socrates came up to me and asked me if I believed in his theory of the "Forms." Plato addressed me with a question about civil disobedience.

We were caught up in a paradox: Nothing did exist, and yet, nothing did not exist. Motion, time, matter, gravity. space, anything real or imagined, all seemed to have lost their meaning while I was nothing. We were nothing. We were annihilated. We could not ask any relevant questions about our situation. There was nothing to ask about it. We knew nothing. That was a fact. Were we going to “get out of" nothing?

Officers elected Oct. 4 are: Karen Nelson and Lan Pham, co-chairs; Michael lllbruck, treasurer; and Irene Young, secretary. Former Co-Chair Kamran Jahan- shahi explained the group's basic purpose. “We are not here just to drink punch and eat cookies," he said, “but to sponsor discussions and activities related to international concerns." With a budget of $300 from the Student Government, many such events will be possible. Karen Nelson's goals for the year are “to make all Augsburg students more aware of the international community that we have at Augsburg and to give the international students here a chance to get together, learn about different cultures, and make new friends." The Cross-Cultural Society has already been involved in a variety of activities this fall. The benefit concert "A Vietnamese Festival of Music and Dance" on Sept. 29 was very successful, raising over $700 to help sponsor "boat people" coming to Minnesota. Cross-Cultural members Lan Pham, Christine Bala, and Kamran Jahanshahi performed in that concert, which was covered by WTCN-TV News. Several Cross-Cultural members attended an international dinner Oct. 12 at First Baptist Church. Musicians and dancers of Bavaria, India, Southeast Asia, and Egypt entertained the guests. The Minnesota International Center has invited Augsburg Cross‘Cultural Society members to participate in dis- cussion groups which will meet four times during the year.

Augsburg professor speaks on energy needs by LISABETH CARLSON Staff Writer How much are you willing to pay for a gallon of gas? Well, if you wait 50 years from now you may be paying as much as $1000 for one gallon—that is, of course, if there is any gas in the year 2030. These are a few speculations Associate Professor of Physics Kermit Paulson made in a lecture entitled “Energy in the United States: Past, Present, and Future." The lecture was first in a series of faculty lectures to be given at Augsburg this year. During the 1850's we depened on wood as an energy source and then moved to coal. Since the 1950’s we have been relying primarily on petroleum, explained Paulson. A few of the reasons for depending on oil as an energy source are that it is cheap, easy to use and easy to store. But in the light of recent oil shortages, some people believe our next transition will be to nuclear power. However, Paulson doubts that it will happen. For the present our energy use pattern does not meet our resource level, so the gap between what we use and what we demand is filled by imported oil, explained Paulson. This leaves our economy dependent on OPEC (The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) nations, a dependency that Paulson believes the US. should end. In the United States today, our average daily production per oil well is 18 barrels, compared to the Mideast production of 6800 gallons per day per well. Dr. Paulson stated that these wells should be explored and exploited more than they are to go beyond these 18 gallons per day. Another alternative for producing energy is to expand our present use of coal, because the United States still has a vast supply of it, according to Paulson. Finally, the US. could further explore the possibilities of nuclear or uranium energy. There are, unfortunately, drawbacks to all three of these methods, according to Paulson. One of the major problems to all three is the ability of our economy to stand a high capital cost associated with initiating these alternatives. Dr. Paulson also mentioned several underused technologies which the US. might explore, but again the high cost of these may prohibit wide scale use. The first is solar heating and cooling. Another is geo~therma| energy; using heat from within the earth as a source of energy. According to Dr, Paulson, even using all of these methods, there would still be a gap between what we demand and what we use. He suggest- edthatthebestwaytoeliminatethisgap IS conservation on the part of the consumer. Paulson admits, however, that there are barriers to conservation. Energy sources are generally still inexpensive and easy to obtain, and secondly, people do not yet understand conservation. However, Paulson feels that conser- vation is the best method even though it will change our lifestyles—especially when faced with a gas bill of $450 for driving to the store and back. Spring vacation set for '81 By GAYLE ANDERSON LISABETH CARLSON Spring vacations for 1981 have been formally set by the five-college Academic Council, said Norma Noonan, Augsburg faculty representa- tive to the council. Augsburg will have a two day break after interim, a spring break from Mar. 23-30. and two days, Friday and Monday, off at Easter. Hamline and Macalester will also follow this format, but St. Thomas and St. Catherine’s will continue with the more traditional calendar, which will mean no break in March but a full break at Easter. Students registering for exchange classes during the spring of 1981 may want to keep this vacation difference in mind.

Sponsored by: Program Commission Norwegian scholar attends Augsburg By BEV BENSON GARY KUBAT Coming from Norway’s third largest city, Trondheim, located 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle, Anne Elisabeth Odmann was awarded the 1979-80 Prince Harald Scholarship, enabling her to attend Augsburg for one year. This is the third visit Odmann has made to the United States. In 1976, she toured six midwestern states with the Bispehaugen School Band which she participated in for 11 years. Odmann's second visit came two years later when she was a counselor at the Norwegian Language Village in Bemidji for three months. It was in Bemidji when Odmann first learned of the Prince Harald Scholarship. When she returned home to the University of Trondheim, she saw a poster about the scholarship and decided to apply. Augsburg was selected by the Norwegian-American Committee in Oslo, Norway as the college Odmann would attend. Her objective throughout her stay will be to "learn more about the American life— its language and its culture." She will also be tutoring students in Nor- wegian.

Originally from New Jersey, Ramage has exhibited her work extensively in the East. She was an instructor at Wright State University in Fairborn, Ohio, and was an assistant professor at Edinboro State College in Edinboro, Pennsylvania, before she moved to Minneapolis in 1976. Since moving to Minnesota she has taught and held an exhibition at the Minnetonka Center of Arts and opens Education in Crystal Bay and has taught a course at Fioosevelt High School. Her art has been exhibited at Gallery 118 in Minneapolis. Ramage is presently teaching at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and at the School of Associated Arts in St. Paul, where she has displayed her work. Ramage says about her creations: “I deal with representational subject matter, and I am concerned with the object. I am interested in not only how the object fulfills its function as a figure or a bottle, but also what it does as an abstract form and how it affects the surface spacially and structurally." Conductors congregate to conduct By TERRl BOCKLUND FineArts Editor Conductors of orchestras, choirs, and band from around the state gathered at Augsburg's Sateren Auditorium last Saturday for an all-day workshop on conducting, led by William McLaughlin, associate direct- ’T he Man and his Mus/0’ Rolling Stone magazine described him as a “conceptual genius of light and sound." Morton Subotnick, one of the foremost composers of electronic music sincethe early '603, will present two lectures at Augsburg on Nov. 8. Subotnick, a teacher of composition at the California Institute of the Arts, thinks of himself as a sculptor of sound. His works have been performed around the country, and many of his pieces can be heard in recordings on Columbia and Nonesuch labels. The first of Subotnick‘s lectures tor of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. McLaughlin lectured for the first hour of the workshop on various interpretations of selections from Mozart‘s Symphony 35. After a short coffee break, the Augsburg Orchestra took the stage. Visiting conductors were able to conduct the movement of their choice, McLaughlin critiqued each participant, offering helpful hints and often high— lighting the good points of each person‘s conducting. Performances were videotaped, and the group was able to review and observe their conducting, a “first” for many of them. “Morton Subotnick—The Man and his Music“ will be presented in Sateren Auditorium from 10 A.M.—11 A.M. Following this lecture there will be a reception; then from 11:30 AM. to 1:00 P.M. Subotnick will present his lecture on the “Theory Of Electronic Music.” gift-£1 Male 4/17/1th 977adazﬂtm.,/Imneapola 338-6425 Specials' Monday Tau Beer 2 25: 9 lt i ft i2 A Fritz» COMM” rMo' Q 10 TUESDAY 8 THURSOAV FilP Nights 2 '0' WASTES WEDNESDAY $2 00 at the door 9 H all in» My :eer ,ou can drink No Charge Bar dr-t’lks 25: Call booze and cocktails 5f): Raggs Oct. 25-28 Milwaukee Slim Oct. 29-30 Flamingo Oct. 31 SU‘JE“ SUNDAV Complimentary film clips By GARY KUBAT You've probably done it countless times yourself. “On a scale from one to ten," you say, then continue to assign a numerical value indicating the quality of anything from classes to jokes, but most often, like the movie “10", evaluate the quality of a member of the opposite sex that has caught your eye. “10" begins as George Webber, played by Dudley Moore, appears at the door of his friend‘s darkened home. The servant explains that a fuse must have blown and goes to investigate. The lights come on and numerous guests shout “surprise!” It's a birthday party for the 42 year old composer. Although George doesn't feel much like celebrating, he makes the most of the party. When asked by his singer-actress girl friend Sam (Julie Andrews) how it feels to be 42, George replies, “l’feel betrayed. They say life begins at 40, l‘ve spent the last two years discovering they've been lying through their teeth." The next morning on his way back to his home, George spies a beautiful bride in a limousine on the way to the church. He decides to follow her. While watching her go into the church, he smashes his car head-on into a police car. After getting a ticket for having an expired driver’s license, not having registration papers, and reckless driving, George tries to sneak into the quiet church to catch the remainder of the ceremony. Foiled in his first attempt by a creaking door, he sneaks around and hides behind an arrangement of flowers and proceeds to get stung by a bee, his scream of pain interrupting the sacred vows of Jennifer Miles and David Henly. George is obsessed with the breath- taking beauty. He explains his dilemma to his analyst who asks, “On a scale from one to ten, what is she?” George quickly replies “11.” (I beg to differ. She has a small birthmark on her left knee—10%.) After he is told that he is suffering from mid-life crisis, George isn‘t satisfied. He returns to the church where Jennifer was married. The priest, who recognizes George, makes him listen to a bouncy organ love song that he has composed. Under the pretense that he is learning more about love, George slyly extracts the name of the beautiful girl and learns that her father is a dentist. George goes to Dr, Miles and discovers that he has six cavities which he has filled all at one time and learns where Jennifer is honeymooning. The now mumpvjowled George makes reservations and is soon winging his way to Mexico. The next day he spots her on the beach. Her husband leaves to rent a surfboard. CLEANERS 2400 Bloomington 724-1000 2628 EAST FRANKLIN AVE MAIN PLANT 335.6666 Quite awhile passes and the husband is pretty far out in the ocean, laying on the surfboard tanning. George ap- proaches an employee of the resort about renting a surfboard. The employee replies that it is perfectly safe, that they’ve only had one accident and that was because the guy fell asleep and drifted out too far where the current got him. George nixes the idea of surfing. The employee suggests sailing, but that suggestion gets the same response. He returns to his blanket and continues to fantasize about his dream lover who is sunning herself only a few feet away. George's conscience gets the best of him, however, because the next thing George does is to sail out and rescue the sunburned, sleeping husband. Later that evening, George drops by the room of Jennifer. Here his fantasy woman begins to erode. She smokes pot and lived with her husband two years before they were married for her father's sake. George and Jennifer go out for dinner. When they return to her room, it isn't long before George's dream comes true. As with most cases, the pursuit is more exciting than achieving the goal, or what we dream is not reality. Her uncle turned her on to making love to music. The record gets stuck. Her braided, beaded hair waps George in the face. Her nails rake his back. The phone rings, it's her husband, But the final blow comes when George asks her why she chose him and she replies, “Why not?" So much for romance, George returns home to find Sam already has a dinner companion. She stops by George's place after, though, and he proposes to her, She promises to think about it. “10" is billed as a “tempting, tasteful comedy for adults who can count." But “10” is much more than comedy. It combines the elements of fantasy, romance, and perhaps even a moral with comedy into a picture few could not enjoy, Dudley Moore is excellent as the pint-sized, bumbling, male-meno- Contlnued on page 7 OOOOOOOOOOOOOO”OOOO DAVE’S BARBER SHOP a‘ ‘We Cut Hair and Inflation " Located in Dinkytown iBohind Burger Klng‘ g 414 14th Avenue SE.

According to Anderson, the letter was a “contingency letter." It explained that their positions may have to be eliminated because of the college's financial status. The letter also explained that everything possible will be done to alter this decision and that this was no reflection on their abilities as teachers. Ben Cooper. assistant professor of mathematics, came to Augsburg three years ago. —ECHO Pnolo by Erik Kanlen Anderson explained that the faculty here are caught in a financial bind, just as at other colleges all over the country. Salary increases can never match the annual 13-14 percent rise in the cost of living. The faculty here received a6 percent increase this year, which means they fall far behind in actual purchasing power, according to Anderson. ln order to bring the salary levels up. there would have to be a reduction in faculty members. according to Anderson, The College Planning Counci' thought it would be appro- priate to ask the entire faculty if they would prefer to have fewer faculty in order to meet a more reasonable salary level. “The faculty have not been asked this yet and Will probably reject the idea. But they will be asked. I had to assume they would opt for fewer numbers." Anderson said. Toni Clark. assistant professor of English, has taught at Augsburg since 1974. 7ECHO Pnoiovarik Kanien Closing class sections or cutting back part—time faculty would not save enough money to offer salary increases, according to Anderson. A provision in the faculty handbook states that probationary faculty members have to be informed by Oct. 15 of the year before the cutback would take effect. Anderson said that if he had had to wait for faculty consensus on the matter of having fewer teachers, the Oct. 15 deadline would have been past. But the idea of having fewer faculty has not been brought before the faculty as a whole yet. According to Anderson approxi- mately 25 teachers could be considered “vulnerable,” but after paring the list “I ended up with five to seven people," he said. Anderson explained that he looked Richard Mar/ten. assistantprofessor of psychology. has taught for five years a! Augsburg. at the list of non~tenured (probation- ary) faculty members and made his decision on which members would be released based on the following considerations: 1. If release of that person would mean a program would have to be discontinued. 2. The volume of students in the department—if another teacher would have to be hired to take their place this would defeat the purpose. 3. If the department or programs within the department were trying to gain accreditation and if the release of a person would affect this accredita- tion. “This is a judgement call and any department or person will certainly disagree with it. But. to act in any other way would have been impos- sible. There are five good people who may not be here next year. We have a solid faculty, not a weak one. and that is why the decision was even more Roberta Lammers. assistant professor of biology. has been at Augsburg four years. 7 ECHO PholobyErik Kanfen difficult to make," Anderson said.

On Augsburg's first possession Duke Lachinski missed the hand-off from Steve Yeazle. St. John's recovered and scored qwckly as McCullen swept around left end on a 20-yard touchdown burst.

Grinde. the nucleus of the Auggie defense. suffered torn ligaments and Will be out for the rest of the season. Late in the first quarter another Auggie fumble on their own 5-yard line set the stage for St. John‘s second touchdown. Gagliard plunged over the middle from 1-yard out with no time remaining The conversion was good making it 14-0. In the second quarter the defensive Vo/leyba/lers have tough week By LAURIE JESSEN On Monday, Oct. 8. Augsburg‘s womens‘ volleyball team was defeated by Carleton 3 games to 1. winning the first 15-11. and losing the next three 15—12. 15-11. and 15-8. On Thursday. Oct. 11. the Auggies bounced back to defeat Hamline in three straight games 15-4. 15-6. and 15—8. The team travelled to Lamoni, Iowa to participate in round robin tournament play on Oct. 12 and 13. They lost their first two games to Western Illinois by scores of 15—8 and 15-14. In second round play, they faced the University of Missouri- Kansas City losing the first game 15-8 and Winning the second 9-7 in 15 minutes running time. They split two games with Maycrest. losing the first 158 and then Winning 15-12 in the second. Augsburg took two games units started hitting hard. A total of six players were walked or carried off the field—most of them St. John's players. Just as the Johnnies homecoming program stated, it seemed as though the game might turn out to be a rout, but Augsburg had other ideas as Steve Rosvold recovered a St. John‘s fumble. Yeazle came in and marched the offense 35-yards in 10 plays culmin- ating with a quarterback keeper up the middle. The PAT was missed leaving the score 14-6 at the end of the half. In the third quarter the Johnnies marched 79-yards in 12 plays. McCullen raced into the end zone from 8-yards out and the conversion was good extending St. John's lead to 21-6. St. John‘s struck again with 1:34 left in the third quarter as Bell danced into the end zone from 24-yards out. The extra point was missed. Early in the fourth quarter a scrambling Yeazle managed to get off a long pass to Severson for a touchdown but the play was nullified by a holding penalty. But the Auggies didn't give—in. Yeazle, Dan Roff and “company” were determined to make the game respectable. The Auggies marched 82-yards in 11 plays and scored on an alert fumble recovery by Mike Dick as a Yeazle to Barry Toston hand-off was never grasped. Yeazle hit Redetzke for the two point conversion leaving the score 28—14 with 1:07 left to play. Augsburg tried an on-side kick but St. John's recovered it as time ran out. J.V. football dominates Augsburg‘s Junior Varsity Football Team ran their record to 2—0 last Monday with a 22-0 rout over the Gustavus J.V. team. Earlier in the season they defeated St. Olaf 14-0 at Northfield. On Monday, Oct. 15, they play at Bethel and the following Monday will take on Hamline at Hamline. /ntramura/s touch football summary This year the Augsburg Intramurals Touch Football League consisted of 12 teams.

In a defensive struggle Augsburg came out on top 1—0 against St. Mary's last Saturday, Oct. 1 . The two shutouts dropped goalie Mark Anderson‘s goals against average to close to 1.0, according to midfielder Brian Budenski. In the Macalester game Rob LaFleur was shifted from defense to midfielder allowing Augsburg to score almost at will. LaFleur and midfielder Jerry Jackson collected two goals each with striker Chris Ascher adding one. “We finally found our offense," said Budenski. Against St. Mary's, Augsburg had to toughen-up their defensive play. “It is always hard to go down there and beat those guys on their field," Budenski said. The deciding goal came off the foot of Kevin Oss who was moved from midfielder to striker with two other strikers working the wings.

Show moreAnti-draft program held at University of Minnesota By TEDD PETERSON Associate Editor Many top officials in the U.S. government are trying to reinstate the draft. Several draft bills were scheduled to come before Congress this summer. However, Congress decided to delay voting on the issue until further studies have been done. The bills will not come before Congress again until late next year, after the 1980 elections. Meanwhile, resistance against the new draft has not slowed down. On Friday. Oct. 12, at the University's Murphy Hall Auditorium, the Students for a Liberatian Society sponsored a panel discussion entitled “Should the Selective Service System be Abol- ished?" The discussion had originally been scheduled as a debate. However, according to Tom Coughlin, the first speaker. no one they contacted was willing to defend the draft. Among those contacted was the regional director of the Reserved Officer Training Corp (ROTC). Rev. Vincent Hawkinson, pastor at Grace University Lutheran Church. talked about the ethical moral decision that every person has to make concerning the draft, and said that resisting war and the draft should be a “duty of the church,“ Hawkinson emphasized the import- ance of taking a stand now, before the draft is actually reinstated. Hawkinson had been a draft counselor during the Viet Nam War, and said that at that time conscientious objector (CO) status was only granted to people who had a history of opposition to the war. 7th & CEDAR WEST BANK Pitcher Nights at Pilot’s Club Millcr & Miller Lite Sunday— 8:00 RM. to 10:00 P.M. — ALSO — Tues. and Thurs. — 9-11 RM.

Hawkinson is trying to organize a system whereby students (and any other young people) would sign cards now saying that even if the draft was to be reinstated, they would refuse to be inducted into the armed forces. He said, “I‘d like to see a library full of thousands of such cards." Rev. Hawkinson finished by en- couraging students to become political- ly active. He quoted a passage from one of Albert Einstein's last speeches: “Give me three per cent of the population who will stand for truth and justice, and I’ll change the course of history." OPEN MON-SAT 9AM-1 PM ....$1.50 The Executive Director of Students for a Libertarian Society, Milton Mueller, talked about top-level military strategy. He pointed out that the draft is not a defensive tool, saying, "America’s foreign policy is not earmarked for defense against outside aggression." According to Mueller, any way that the US. might become involved in would not be anywhere near American soil. Mueller also said that in the upper military levels, the volunteer army has always been a myth. “Strategy has always been based on the institution of the draft when it is necessary," he said. Under the 1967 Selective Service Act, the President is authorized to institute draft registration at any time. The lack of popular support for the draft was another of Mueller‘s points. He said, “There is a growing militarist attitude in Congress, but there is no support from the people . . . Where is the support coming from? Who are these people? Why in the hell are they afraid to come and talk to you today about the draft?" The last speaker was Marvin Davidov, a draft resistance organizer since 1966. Davidov, a veteran, was concerned that America not forget the Viet Nam War. He said, “The war in Viet Nam ended in 1975, but to most Americans it seems like 25 years ago. As a nation we‘re putting it out of our minds." He added that the effects of the war will never be gone, stating as an example, “today there are 28 million bomb craters in Viet Nam the size of this auditorium.“ Davidov urged that this country not allow its government to become involved in another immoral war. All of the speakers encouraged political activism in stopping the draft. The Students for a Libertarian Society have established Nov 15 as “Abolish Selective Service Day,“ when pro- grams will be held on campuses across the country. This weekend Northwestern Univer- sity near Chicago is hosting the Midwest Conference against the draft. There will be two days of speeches, workshops, and films dealing with the national fight against the draft. Continued from page 4 one of her gals in Urness Tower needed an ambulance. Krueger, resident advisor on third floor, tried for 30 minutes to get an outside line to contact Fairview Hospital's emergency service. In response, the housing staff was told that the number of outside lines (20) was being examined and that if needed the college would purchase more lines from Northwestern Bell for its residents, faculty, and staff. Last Saturday morning, Oct. 13 at 12:12 am. a fire alarm sounded in Urness Tower. Resident Advisors are now responsible to contact the fire department under the new system, but I was unable to get on outside line for five minutes in my attempt to reach the fire department. Fortunately it was a false alarm last Saturday morning. What would have happened if Urness had a real fire? Five minutes is a long time in such a situation. I do not need to dwell on this point. Augsburg College needs more outside lines. I am only voicing Urness Tower‘s reaction to this new system, although I have heard several mixed concerns from Mortensen Tower and from various annex houses on campus. Please do not misinterpret my feelings about this new system. l was a switchboard operator last year, and | feel the dimension system is much better than the older. more “primi- tive” system. Respectfully, Rod Sill Resident Advisor Response to articles To the Editor: This is a brief comment in response to the articles written on the Mortensen Tenant Society (MTS) and on the new phone system. Ms, Becker wrote that MTS changed their policy on the Mortensen inventory because it would violate housing contracts. This is completely false, The inventory was an extra service offered by MTS and has nothing to do with housing contracts. MTS does not work for housing; it is a student—run organization. We also think that it is important to correct two mistakes in the phone system article. First, the $75.00 charge was not an installation fee as stated. It is, in fact, the cost of the phone system through January of 1980. Augsburg did not charge for installation. Secondly, access to 411 has not been eliminated. By dialing 9 followed by 411, you can talk to directory assistance operators. We do, however, agree that the student population has not been made aware of exactly what our phones can do. Perhaps Wayne Pederson can alleviate this problem in the near fu‘ure' Joan Maland Val Laser MTS Co-Chairpersons Editor's Note: The article referred to MTS' original strategy of seeking priority for its members in having their work orders met. No direct connection between the organization and housing contracts was suggested. However, for Augsburg to have granted such priority to MTS members would Violate housing contracts of non— members. The article acknowledged that MTS changed its strategy to include all apartment dwellers. P.B. Editor's Note: The statement that directory assistance [411] has been eliminated for all theoretical purposes is true. It Mortensen Tower residents are getting 411 access then it is because of a flaw in the system. Only CENTS and selected administrative phones should have 477 access. Phones could be installed only after a $75.00 charge was paid. The payment covered the entire semester. but nonetheless it was an installation charge RSI Oct. 19, 1979
