The lines 2 ~e fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage." The psalmist's words describe the fifty years plus that I person- ally have been associated with Augsburg College: three years as a child in a stat? member‘s home, two years as a University student, forty-one years as Dean of Women and Associate Dean of Students. and the last five years as Executive Secretary in the Centennial office. My heritage was great. God first. Augsburg second, That was the priority. 1 early learned that people count. I love people. I love to discover their strengths, their potentialities. I love to watch the growth and de- velopment in their maturing proc~ css. I love to see the results in life style as new insights are gained and attitudes change. THIS AUGSBURG heritage be- comes contagious when the words of “Discovery,” written by the Ja- panese Christian Toyohiko Kaga— wa (1888—1961).arc personalized in the lives of students. of faculty, of stall, of administration. of alumni, yes, of all friends of Augsburg Col» lege. Everyone needs to find a cause greater than himself in which to lose himself. for losing is find- ing: That a secret plan ls hid in my hand; That my hand is big.

THE AUGSBURG ECHO Friday, October 17 ortensen Views Heritage —Speciol Photo MISS GERDA MORTENSEN Big. Because of this plan. That God, Who dwells in my hand, Knows this secret plan of the things He will do for the world Using my hand! This heritage is free. It is yours. I believe in the infinite worth of each individual. College days pro- vide an opportunity to b e c o m e aware of one’s own self. to accept one's own self, to establish a style of commitment to do one‘s best. “To thine own self be true," Shake— speare writes in “Hamlet.” DL'RING MY DAYS in the Dean of Students' Office, an alumnus frequently returned to the campus and wandered around for hours. “I come back to Augsburg in great gratitude," he told me, “because Augsburg allowed me to grow up here. Here I wrote those ‘famous‘ editorials, here I criticized, here I failed. But Augsburg still believed in me as a person . . . and I grew up! Thank you.“ “I didn‘t ever let you believe that the standards of Augsburg meant much to me while I was a student,” admitted another alumnus. “I want you to know that as soon as I took a position and needed to make de- cisions, my philosophy of life and service were suddenly those with which I had been challenged as a student." “You say you don‘t reject me, only my conduct?” asked a young woman student. “Do you really ac- cept me as a person?” I assured her that that was my policy and the policy of my department. She left feeling that she could face the future. OTHER FACETS of this conta« gious heritage include the ability to accept others in pleasant or un- pleasant interpersonal relation- ships, to keep one‘s own integrity intact in all relationships, and to serve others in that framework. One grows by giving himself in service to others. That is where joy dwells. For years I maintained an open door to my office one evening a week. Unscheduled, unannounced, yet deeply seated problems of some student or staff member or faculty member found that open door. Who helped the other more? The coun< selor or the counselee'.’ “How can I go home for Christ- mas'.’ We always have such disa- greements, my parents and I." “Can you go as a visitor to your home'! Talk about ideas and expe- riences that will interest them. You'll discover your parents, and they will discover you.” He went. “It worked! I’m starting to know my parents now." “CAN YOU HELP me under- stand this student so I can ap- proach him better?" asked a con- cerned faculty member. “Yes. His mother is having her third divorce. He needs a staunch friend." That faculty person became a staunch friend . . . “I found Christ in cha- pel today. I wanted to share this with you.” . . . “My roommate's fi- ance was killed in an auto accident. What can I say to her'.’ How can I help her?" The inner life of each individual —sometimes troubled, sometimes jubilant. always developing—has been, is and will continue to be Augsburg’s concern. Life on a col- lege campus for one hundred years has presented challenges to stu- dents: personal problems, intellec- tual problems, spiritual problems. Some of my best friends have been my students; some became my colleagues; some became my supe- riors. Some of my best teachers have been my students. They have shared their thinking, their in- sights, their black-and-white not- gray decision-making quality, their joys, their sorrows. We have lived through years of a rapidly chang- ing world with great new demands. But the stren ths of the Augsburg cw liliestee I‘r- ' buildin whatever the out- er architecture. We face a new century together. I am deeply grateful for the privi- lege of serving ten generations of students in a college that builds up- on a strong Christian foundation. “What truths stand out after one hundred years 7” I asked an alumna who can couch ideas as only a true poet can. I conclude with her an- swer. This is part of your “Conta- gious Heritage" as you move into Century II: Century Plus minutes or seconds, days or hours or years, moons waxed or waning, decades by tens, or phases 1, II, III. a fractured tenth of a millenium of time and space and circumstance held in a sieve of a hundred years. t t C before time was, when time shall be no more, God is. a grave is but the gravestone of time and space, not of forever. that man is free who knows no end and no beginning . . . Grace Jensen Buster Class of 1933 School Dedicates Augsburg Room While Forell Discusses Creed. At 3:00 on Sunday, October 12, trumpets heralded the commence- ment of the dedication of the City of Augsburg Room in the college center. After a short introduction by Dr. Anderson, Mr. Burton Fosse, vice president of the college, began to tell the story of Augsburg, Ger- many, and the City of Augsburg Room. The room could be d e s i g n e d, Fossc said, using one of two ap— . A strict logistic approach ' possible. and the room could be designed solely for function. After touring colleges throughou t th e midwest, however, Fosse and his associates decided that the room would be designed in an aesthetic manner that would make the build- ing “come alive." Next on the program. Dr. George Forell spoke on the relevance of Article lli of the Augsburg Confes~ sion. This document, written in Him by Phillip )Ielanchton and signed by 20 of his followers. is the basis for the creed of the Lutheran (‘hurch and is included in the con~ stitutions ofmost Lutheran church- cs. Specifically. Article lli confirms the right of man to take part in the social. economic and political processes of society. It also is a basis for a type of conscientious objection or civil disobedience. Fur- thering this idea Forell suggested that “the question of war must be re-examined. lt may no longer be possible to serve in a just war." Since the purpose of this docu- ment was to explain what was cor» rect for a society of the sixteenth century, Forell said that the ob- jcctivcs of this document may be altered without changing the mean- ing. Changing t h e s e objectives should be accomplished by socially active means. Emphasizing t his point, Forell explained, “To use the vernacular, we may not cop out." The rite of dedication followed Forell's address. The R e v e r e n d David Preus, the vice president of the American Lutheran Church and a regent of Augsburg, presided during this part of the ceremony. General Lief Sverdrup, who con- tributed $10,000, and .‘Ir. Herbert Nelson who contributed $25,000 for completion of the City of Augsburg room, greeted the audience. After short speeches by both, Dr. Ander< son presented them with copies of Dr. Chrislock‘s centennial book. "From Fjord to Freeway." Finally, Bishop Kaare Stoylen from Norway presented a family heirloom to the college. As “ a sign of the continuity of the times," Bishop Stoylen presented his fam— ily's 1834 copy of the “Sermons of Luther” as a “token of gratitude and admiration." —'hooo by Ina-Mr DR.

Show morePage 4 Trail Only Johns, Huskies THE AUGSBURG ECHO Thursday, November 6 Harriers Finish 3rd in District NAIA Meef by Terry Blue Augsburg's cross country squad cupped a most successful season this past Saturday by taking third place with 78 points in the District NAIA meet held on the five mile course at Como Park. As expected, MIAC champ St. John's captured the team title with 34 points, but not without a spirited battle from runner-up St. Cloud State (52). The shining star once again for the Auggies was sophomore Jerry Beckman, who placed sixth. Coach Howie Pearson praised Beckman's performance, saying, “He ran a tough race every meet this fall— but this was his best If he keeps improving the way he has these past two seasons, he will be the best distance runner we've ever hall at Augsburg. TEAM (‘AI’TAIN Torn Brandt ran a fine race in finishing twelfth despite being nagged by a back in- jury over half of the course. “Tom has been a steady performer for us throughout his entire collegiate career. Without h is tremendous leadership we never could have come as far as we did." Also singled out for praise was someone who spent most of the season in shadows publicity-wise, senior Rick Johnson who placed twenty-third. “Rick has done a re- markable job for us, especially when you consider the fact that his forte is middle distance rather than / _‘ —Phoio by Huber TOM BRANDT runs uphill ahead of a Winona runner in the Dis- lrici l3 NAIA cross country meel. long distance running." Howie Pearson was also pleased by the steady improvement made by soph Tim Peterson throughout the season “Tim finished twentieth in the District 13 meet and it will be nice to have him coming back next fall. “GARY WILDE will also be back next year, and he has the most na- tural potential of all our returning men. He did a good job, taking twenty-second as a freshman, and I'm sure he will continue to im- prove next season." In summing up his team's per- formance this fall, Pearson made quite clear just how proud he is of his charges. “The entire team im- proved a great deal since last year. We lost only one conference dual meet and that was to the best team ever to run in our conference — St. John’s. It's no disgrace losing to a team that may well win the na- tional title. We are still hoping to get the opportunity to run in the NAIA national meet on the 22nd." Ma’rmen, Icemen Eye B ig Years; Young Cagers Should Improve Now that football season is over, the winter sports squads are busily preparing for a hectic term. The outlook for wrestling and hockey is good, as usual, and the basket- ball team also looks forward to an improved year.

True reality lies in the combina- tion of dream and reality of the physical world. ROBERT ZELLER, a f o rm e r faculty member and graduate of Augsburg College, has much the same views as those of the surreal- istic philosophy stated above. Zel- ler feels that a person should live for the present because the moment in itself is electric. Time and space is inherently meaningful and life is beautiful. What exactly is the philosophy of a true hippie? According to Zel- ler a hippie wishes to intensify life and change the relation of society in a nonviolent way. He is not es- caping because he has an obligation to reshape society, before it self? (lestructs. Society should resolve its problems before its pressures cause a war. Drugs have a significant relation in helping a person to experience true reality, the r ea 1 i ty of the mind.

Zeller produces underground movies that tend to attack the ills of society, such as the berserkness of some cops and the hypocrisy on the behalf of some Christians who have no love for minority or dis— senting groups. He feels that the rural areas of America tend to be more prejudiced than the urban ci- ties because the pressures of big cities are “squashing” them. Zeller also believes in the youth of today, especially the true hippies in America. He says that “hippies are the prophetic voices of the beautiful race to come." third straight conference title are Tom Howe, Ron Johnson, Pat Mar- cy, Bill Hickman and Larry Stew- art. The hockey team, coached by Ed Saugestad, lost some 5 t r e n g t h through graduation, but Terry Holmes, Mick Thorstenson, Al De- Wolf, Bruce Murray and Corky Hall all return this year. In addi— tion, Saugestad has some tough frosh, like Bill Lundgren, who are planned on to help a great deal. The Auggies should give Gustavus and St. Mary's another rough bat- tle for honors this year. The basketball team is young this year, with only seven letter- men returning. Mike Haag is ex- pected to start at center, while John Ewert should also see a lot of action at forward. Randy John- son, Dave Lehrke, Gary Syverson and Bruce Wessman all play for- ward, and the competition will be rough for the starting position. The other returning letter-man is Dick Kelly, who has returned to Augs- burg this fall after a spell in the service. Once again the buckets team has a lot of freshmen backing it up. With no seniors on the roster and only three juniors, the Auggies may be too young to win consis- tently this year. They will, how- ever, present tough opposition for every team in the league. Puckmen Face Alums in First Ice by Mike anrs For most Auggie sports fans the premiere chance to see the hockey squad in action will be December 12 at 8:30 p.m. at the Metropolitan Ice Center in the annual Varsity- Alumni battle. The alumni will feature such greats as four time all-MIAC per- former Jerry Peterson, 1968 co- captains Jefi' Elavsky and Lynn Gunderson, and the 1969 tri-cap- tains John Harden, Tom Iverson and Mark Sateren—all of whom Were all-conference players. Spearheading the varsity will be 1970 captain Terry Holmes. Holmes will be backed up by all-MIAC player Corky Hall, along with goal- ie Curt Johnson, Mick Thorstenson, and Al DeWolf. This n u c l e u s backed by many other proven vet- Bafl'le erans and a group of blue-chip freshmen make the hockey outlook this year evry promising. Harden says that this game will pit a “young and inspired varsity against an experienced and star~ filled alumni."

During the past seven weeks, five students ma- joring in English have been serving as members of the faculty of the department, attending all the de- partment meetings and presenting proposals for improving the Eng- lish curriculum. The five students, elected by their fellow English majors, are by Tom Hart Imagine all the problems we’ll see as the world adjusts itself to normal moon travel. With each Apollo mission, we come closer and closer to the day vacationers forsake the warm California sun for lunar dust and purple rocks. Game shows will give moon trips as prizes and Acapulco will be- come a farm community. In five years we'll be listening to the radio and hearing: “This is T. Maximilian Murphy and Donny O’Donahue of all reuest KLEM radio and we‘re on the air talking to Mr. Desmond Foster of Minneapolis with our Wonder Word Jackpot. “Good evening, Mr. Foster, this is T. Maximilian Murphy and if you can tell me what this hour's wonder word is, you’ll win for you and your wife a splendid, all-expense paid two week vacation on the dark side of the moon. “No, I’m sorry, Mr. Foster. That’s not our wonder word and that‘s not a very nice thing to say. But keep listening to all request KLEM and maybe you'll be called again with another Wonder Word Jackpot." Click. To find out first-hand how popular this craze had become, I went to the Twin Cities International Airport and was surprised to see very few spacesuited men and women in waiting lines. The lady at the flight insurance counter was waiting for business so I gave her some about the moon and was surprised to hear that moon in» surance is fairly cheap. If you travel on an authorized chartered flight, you can purchase a 50,000 dollar policy (air and land) for under thirty» five dollars. However, a land and air policy leaves a lot of questionable territory between here and the moon. But they have a little time to work that out at the front office. I strolled the concourses to get the experienced traveler‘s opinion of the moon as a possible vacation spot. Most of them thought the idea was crazy and I got crazy looks for asking. One gentleman carrying two suit- cases, ski boots and skis said he was having troubles enough getting from New York to Montana. The most popular reason people gave for not wanting to go to the moon was that they were too old. One twenty-year-old girl in the process of becoming a stewardess thought she was too old. An older lady found her reason in the Bible and quoted the book as saying: “Going to the moon is screwy.” Conrad Hilton is going to have to do a lot of developing and fast selling to get me on a ship to the moon. I’ve got some friends he could have in the morning, but I can’t see where women would look quite as nice in a two piece space suit. It‘ll take years for science and industry to develop even a small environment resembling a suitable living situa- tion for men. It’s still just cheese to me. THE AUGSBURG EC-HO Mary Alice Long, Don Smith. Chuck Maland, Sue Scott and John Engman. The first two students are seniors, while the last three arc juniors. THE IDEA OF adding majors to the staff popped up last spring, when the department found itself getting bogged down with the eter» nal question—do students approve of the changes or proposals which the department presents? The ob— vious answer was to include some students on the staff. The mechanics of doing this were worked out early this fall. Ballot— ing was completed several months ago, and the only restriction as far as voting was concerned was that at least two seniors were to he in— cluded among the five representa- tives. The students involved are con- sidered members of the staff, not as advisors only. They serve as rep- rescntativcs of the more than 100 English majors in the faculty mect— ings. As Maland said, “This makes other students feel more involved with the department, and makes for better communications."

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

Show moreThe Augsburg Echo Vol. LXXVI Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota, November 13, 1969 100,000fh Volume Number 7 Library Expands Book Collection by Steve Frantz Perhaps the most used institu- tion as well as the institution that is taken for granted most at Augs- burg is the library. This part of the college began as a result of stu- dent activism in the first ten years of the college's history. During this time students organized societies for the benefit of collecting books on their patron subject, and when the collections of these societies were combined into two rooms of Old Main in 1872, the collection listed 1500 volumes. Students totally managed the li- brary until 1919 when the collection listed 12,000 volumes. In 1959,when Korlis Ozolins came to Augsburg as the Head Librarian, this number had increased to around 30,000. Re- cently, however, this number was increased to an even larger sum when, at a ceremony in the library. Dr. Carl Chrislock presented a copy of his work, "From Fjord to Free- way,” as the 100,000th volume of the library. BESIDES Chrislock’s book other additions have also been made to the library lately. For example, Hamline, Macalester, Concordia of St. Paul, St. Catherine's, St. Tho- mas, Bethel and Augsburg have formed an organization with the _ James Hill Reference Library so that students from any of these in- stitutions can use books from any of the other libraries by simply showing a student ID at the li- brary. A student may also request to have the book delivered to his college’s library where he can pick it up that afternoon or the next day. The organization, known as Co- operating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC) was formed in April of 1969 and has a total of 750,000 vol- umes in its possession. It has a yearly budget of about one million dollars and runs an unscheduled shuttle-bus between libraries for book deliveries. Another addition to the library is in the form of microfilm. The li- brary now has a complete set of the New York Times, dating from September of 1851 to the present, on microfilm and they may be co- pied on a Xerox copier recently ob- tained by the library. IN ADDITION to the microfilm, the browsing collection is a new innovation in the library. This brightly painted addition with the sign of Aquarius painted on top of it reflects "the contemporary in- terests of young people." Request cards are on top of the collection, and students are urged to indicate the books they would be interested in reading. Those books will then be purchased and immediately set on the rack thus avoiding the time consuming book processing. Five hunde dollars has been allotted for this project and any book can be added to the collection. The final addition to the library was presented by the widow of A. R. Johnson. a self-educated, so- cially-conscious man who lived in St. Paul and read avidly. Mr. John- son collected over 8.000 books on various subjects. From this collec- tion 300 books were donated to the library and another 1,500 were bought by the library for an in- significant price. Many of these books are rare or priceless. One such example is a set entitled the “Harleian Miscel- lany," which is worth at least $100. Also, the original manuscript of the diary of Alonzo Read, a soldier in the Civil War, is in the collec- tion. Reed was in Company G of the First Pennsylvania Cavalry, and the diary includes the years from 1857 to 1862. The book is be- ing typed by Chuck Maland for easier reading and will soon be available to all students. AS IS SHOWN by this manu- script, Mr. Johnson apparently had a great interest in philosophy and history. One of the books in the li- brary’s possession, for instance, is a copy of the third edition of the works of John Locke published in 1707. In addition, a book entitled “The Life of Alexander the Great” written by “several Gentlemen of the University of Cambridge" and published in 1690 is also included as part of this collection. Father, the library has a number of other books that show the ideas and values of Americans earlier in this century and in the 18th and 19th centuries. For instance, the collection includes a bound series of the “Deadwood Dick” dime no- vels as well as an “Undertakers Manual” that instructs the begin- ning mortician to make sure that the person to be embalmed is dead before the embalming procedure is started. —Phoio by Imam" CARL CHRISLOCK, DEAN JOHNSON and librarian Korlis Ozolins inspect "From Fiord to Freeway” as the secretory checks the book in as the library's 100,000th acquisition. All of these additions have nec- essitated sizeable expenditures for maintaining and cataloguing them in the library. Besides the substan- tial budget granted by the college, a number of sources are helping to alleviate this problem. One such source is the B us h Foundation which has given $75,000 to the li- bi'ai'y to be used over a three year period.

Congress- man Clark MacGregor of Minneso- ta's third district emphasized his Viet Nam stand when he spoke dur- ing chapel on October 24, while Minnesota attorney general Doug- las Head stressed the domestic is sues of pollution and urban prob» lems at the November 5 convoca- tion. 0n Viet Nam, MacGregor said that he supports the administra- tion’s “p h a s e d disengagement" from the war. He felt that combat troops could be out of Viet Nam by the end of next year. ATTORNEY GENERAL Head cited in his address that “We are ' the great polluters and if we are to curb pollution we will have to pay economically. Head supported several plans to curb pollution. These included tax incentives to industries that install anti-pollution devices. taxing the emission of pollutants into the at- mosphere, and the use of citizens‘ law suits against polluters. 0n the problem of urban environ— ment Head felt that there must be decentralization of decision mak- ing, a greater nietropolitan.cmi- cern, and a greater state and fed- eral role in the solving of urban problems. FOLLOWING THEIR respectch talks, the candidates answered a variety of questions at coffee hours held for them. This gave students and faculty 3 chance to hear their views on a variety of issues. —rnovo by Budwflhn DOUG HEAD EMPHASIZES a point in his convocation speECh. MacGregor's questions centered on Viet Nam related issues. On Spiro Agncw‘s attack on the mor- atorium loaders MacGregor said, "It's very difficult to shut him up." When asked about the effective- ness of the moratorium he told the audience to look at the firing of (ivnernl Lewis Hershey as draft chief. "Does it all‘ect the people in Washington? Yes." MacGregor said that he felt a «oalition in Viet Nam would be all right if the peo- ple wanted it. ATTORNEY GENERAL Head answered questions on both state and national issues. On President Nixon's address to the nation, Head said he was pleased with the announcement of a specific plan for troop withdraw- als but expressed displeasure at the President's f ail u r c to announce what pace will be followed. Head said he felt withdrawals of 20,000 to 25,000 troops per month would be a satisfactory pace. 0n the legalization of marijuana the attorney g c n e r a l disagreed with some student advocates be- cause not enough is known about its efi'octs. He did advocate an in— tensive study to investigate the effects of marijuana. WHEN ASKED about the large number of DFI. gubernatorial can- didates, Head said that they all see that the incumbent's popularity is sagging and for them “this is thr- chance of a lifetime . . . but then where do you find a popular gov- ernor today anyway." He further said that he felt the governor had done a very good job the past three years and credited the sagging popularity partially to the way he appears on television. He also commented on the trial ~Pholo by Peterson CLARK MAC GREGOR of the “Conspiracy Eight" in Chi- cago and particularly on the Bobby Scale case. Looking at the case from an attorney's point of view, Head said that the outbursts were a good strategic move. The judge, however, was unable to handle the situation. Assessing his progress in his cur- rent campaign to win the Republi- can nomination to take thi- seat of Eugene McCarthy. Head stated. “We started out a little slow but we're gathering steam now." “'hcn further pressed on this question he Iinly replied, "We have a fifty-fifty chance." Show less

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

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

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

Pfefi'er seems to have chosen his words well be- cause 15 of the 23 men currently practicing are freshmen. St. John's, St. Thomas, Concordia and Gusta- vus should all boast improved teams. When one considers this fact and also the Auggies’ loss through graduation of such veterans as the Miller twins, Rick Snow, and Joel Branes it is easy to see why coach I’l‘eil'er discounts talk that labels his team the “favorite” to retain its conference crown. Supplying leadership for the Auggies this year will be team can- tain Mike Good. a junior from Frid- ley who last year gained second place honors in the NAIA tourna- ment in Omaha. Other returning veterans are Larry Stewart (two- time defending MIAC champ), Bill Hickman and Ron Johnson (run- ners-up in last year's conference meet), sophomores Pat Marcy and Jim Mastro, senior Gene Skoglund and junior Bob Martin. Art Scheu- nemann, a junior who has not wres‘ tled his first two years at Augs- burg, has also reported for prac— til'l’.

In all there are 17 men competing for the seven var- sity positions available. The inten- sity of competition should develop a polished varsity in the lower and middle weights.

In summing up the team’s pros- pects for this season, coach Pfef- fer and captain Good feel last year’s dual meet record will be hard to match because of the tougher schedule the Augs are facing.

Anonymous Reporter Finds, Council "Ads" Interesting “Lose Their Money and Run (for Re-election)" is a new and unique type of drama that Student Coun- cil has presented lately on Monday evenings. The presentations are difi‘erent from other forms of drama in that each performance is unplanned (ex- cept for a little scheming here and there) and each performance itself is different (except for the common feature of boredom among specta- tors). The producer of the act is Beacom Associates and the director is Tod Hanson. The plot centers around the los- ing of $14,000 and how the cast tries to make it up. Each of the members attacks the problem in varying ways. Miss Grindal gets the problem off her hands by im» plying that it i: the council's prob- lem and that they should find the solution.

Council be gan by questioning Augsburgian editor Jill Steele. She said she could order less books (a trick already employed by the Echo to save money), cut the number of pages (also being don e by the Echo), and change the format (which will p r o h a bl y come this term with the Echo), but that she would need at least $3000 to begin with and some advertising income. Discussion muddled along until Ron Wahlberg made a motion w h i c h seemed to cover all angles. Major points and efl'ects of his resolution were: 1) $6000 LOAN, PAYABLE OVER TWO YEARS. 2) CUT BACK BUDGET IN FOLLOWING MANNER: A. Echo—$1500 B. Program—$3450 C. Augsburgian—SHOO D.

This will be done in two steps. First, I will present all the responses to two sets of ques- tions sent out to members of the student body. In the second section, I will put forth my own opinions; the reader should keep in mind that the ideas I present are mine alone, and not necessarily those of any -sothspatafl.membcr or any other Augsburg student for that matter. With this in mind, let us begin by examining the responses to the let- ters ssntout to the student body. First, approximately twenty- five members of student govern- ment received a letter which I shall print in toto here: “Dear Council Members and other people in student government: "I’m sure all of you feel the deep concern that the Echo stafl' does concerning the fiscal problems fac- ing the Student Society. In order to present an explanation to the student body, I plan to devote three-fourths of the next issue of the Echo to Student Government on this campus. I need your help in this undertaking. In particular, I ,am writing a long editorial in which I‘hope to trace the rise of the problem. the actions of the council in trying to solve the prob- lem, and the reactions of members of the student body to this whole question. Could you answer the fol- lowing questions for me, and get than into my 11.0. or the Echo p.o. by Wednesday, Novcmbcr 26? If I do not receivs a reply from you by that time, I will be unable to include whatever comment you might wish to make. Feel free to roam away from these questions, too, if you would like, and address yourself to the problem as you un- derstand it. I would like to inter- view all of you, but problems with make this an impossibility. Think m for your consideration." ‘Six responses were received to that law, on verbal and five written. The questions asked were the following: ' 1. What do you think of the action sound! look! A. Whatisyourreactiontothc m of the cut on ma Augsburglan? B. What is your reaction to the cuts on the Program Com- mission! o. What do you drink about the loan! D. What other proposals would you make to get us out of the mire? 2. Would you limit our problems to any one person, group, or event or do you think the en- tire student body is at fault? 3. Have you asked your constitu- ency what they think about this? Do they care? Have you represented their viewpoints, do you think ? Mike Manz, responding orally, deplored the- cut'iri the Augsburg- ian in particular. He felt that the loan was the only fair way out of the problem, and also saw the prob- lem as arising from the whole stu- dent government rather than from any one person or event. Sophomore representative Rach- el Iverson outlined the following answers: “1) Approve of action in general. A. Personally, I don't mind— however, I would rather a large Echo out than Augs— burgian cut. B. Negative, but seeing no ac- ceptable alternative at the moment, it is imperative. C. A loan is necessary. I favor the two year over the short- er time loan. D. A budget freeze. Placing blame is not my duty or the duty of the council. The debt has been incurred and we have to determine what to do with it. The most we can do in the area of blame is decide on future concerts—to have or not to have. We decided ‘not to have' and in this sense blamed big name committee for con- cert choices and student body. for not attending plus Minne- apolis concert trends—in other words, a combination of all factors. Yes, however the above views are mine because the questions were directed 'How do you feel . . .' People I've talked to disapprove of the Augsburgian cut, but have no other solution. Several want an extended loan (several years), while others support council action as the only possible action." “2) us) Junior Linda Filipl wrote the following reaction: "I think the action taken by the Student Council was the only real- istic solution possible. A loan was very nsmsary and since this yur’s . be - .v u . forthisdcbglfcelitisonlyrisht to try and pay back half of it this year and leave the rest to be paid back next year. Al t h o u g h next year’s students should not be bur- dened with a debt at the beginning of the year, it is the only possible way the debt can be paid back with- out cutting off all activities for this year. “I think the cuts made were very reasonable since most s t u d e n t 5 don’t care about an Augsburgian or the social events sponsored by the- Program Commission. Maybe when some of these things are tak- en away from them for a while, they will appreciate them and may- be even attend some of the events provided for them. “I definitely think the entire stu- dent body is at fault somewhat but not exclusively. This is because, as I said before, the students don’t at, tend the events; but then when such groups as Paul Revere and the Raiders are brought here, one can hardly expect a majority of the students to attend. So I feel that no one person is entirely at fault. “I can only say that I regret that this had to happen, but since it did, there's no sense wasting time try- ing to decide who is at fault, but rather we should all work together to get through this and make sure it doesn't happen again!" Dave Andell, junior class presi- dent. deplored the budget cuts, say- ing council "should have looked for another way out." He accepted the loan idea as "possibly the only way out," and suggested further that “maybe the school c ou l d have loaned or given us some money." In answering the second question, An- dell wrote “I don't think that one person can be blamed. Maybe the first concert, if an event should have been blamed—bad choice of bands." Finally he concluded that "there is more concern than what shows. People are more concerned than we think about what happens to their money. They don't have any more of an idea of what to do than anyone else." Freshman class President Ken Anderson also took the time to re- spond to the questionnaire. His an- swer follows: "In reference to your requests for comments on the fiscal prob- lems caused by the failure of the last two concerts, I would be more than happy to give you some of my “After discussing the matter $10 ALLOTMENT FOR THE JUNIOR CLASS. LEAVING A BALANCE OF 5510. 9 Figuring the highest interest rate on the loan at 7 per cent (on improbably high figure), Wahlberg figured that $420 would cover the interest on the loan, leaving $90 in bal~ ance. Aftcr long discussions this was finally accepted. Dnhlman then brought up a discussion of the win» ter (fourth) concert and possible mini-concerts with groups like the Goliards. Francis moved that no money be allotted for concerts, and that all future concerts be taken 100 per cent by Harry Beacom, who is the promoter for Augsburg's con- certs. While this sounds contradic- tory. it is not; Program Commis» sion remains free to use its funds to sponsor a concert, and funds are not specifically allocated for con- certs anyway. So a concert at Snow Days remains a possibility. The meeting adjourned. One question of importance was raised at the meeting by adviser Page 3 Don Gustnfson. Gus questioned the possibility of n lunn.

I feel that it is entirely wrong to do so, as the concerts were business risks designed to make a profit. My constituency was shocked and concerned, and this is natural considering the amount of the loss. The point is that the time spent locking for someone to blame should be spent looking for solu- tions, and ways to avoid this situa- tion in the future. “I feel that criticism of the com- mittee that investigated solutions is somewhat valid. The committee proposed one s o l u ti o n that it thought the most desirable, but I felt that a list of different possibili- ties should have been drawn up. However, I feel that Ron Wahl- berg’s bill adequately distributes the budget cuts. I don't feel that any one organization should receive a total cut, and I’m sure my con- stituency would agree with me. The cuts on the Augsburgian and the Program Commission were equally severe in respect to the limitations placed on the functions of each. “I feel that the entire burden shouldn’t be placed on this year's organizations, and that a loan does a somewhat adequate job of carry- ing part of the debt over to the next year. “The issue that will be debated in the future is the philosophy behind holding concerts of big name qual- ity. The question that has to be an- swered will be: are the concerts to be held to make money or are they to be provided simply as a service to students by allowing promoters to hold them in our building? "Thank you for allowing me to express some of my opinions con- cerning the matter." Finally, sophomore representa- tive John Gisselquist answered the letter in the following manner: “While writing this, I'm taking it for granted that Darrell has ac- curately described the financial siL uation the Augsburg Student Soci- ety is in. I think the real problems we face here are: 1) finding a scapegoat; 2) budgeting ourselves for the rest of the year; and 3) making sure the same thing doesn't happen again. All three problems are equally cumbersome and vague. “As far as finding a scapegoat is concerned. I suppose the first place to look would be council, because council has the ultimate control over Student Society funds. Last spring council gave Program Com- mission the right to sign four con- tracts during the summer for the upcoming school year. Contracts had to be signed during the sum- mer because they have to be signed quite a bit ahead of the perform- ance date to insure getting a good act (or any act). "This year's council came into office only a few weeks before school was out last year. The deci~ sion to sign the contracts could only have been given by this coun- cil because it involved this year's funds. There was no time to find out exactly what acts we could get and no way of proving that there would be so many acts in the city at this time that would lose money. Concerts as a whole in the past have made money and, whatever anyone says, they have always been set up to make money. "When your budget does not in- clude insurance for losses from big name entertainment, as it never has here as at most other schools, you have to set up your concerts to profit. There is no such thing as ‘break-even’ in a field as instable as big name entertainment. We have lost before (for example, the Brothers Four), but we've never lost twice in a row. As for that, we now find ourselves in a position where we can't risk any more mon- ey. "As far as putting the blame on Program Commission, it is George Dahlmsn and Tod Hanson who set up these programs apart from Pro- gram Commission and its funds. I sincerely hope that'thcir point of View was solicited because I cer- tainly don’t feel justified to speak for them and it would be rldiculoul not to have their point of view given. "Putting the blame on the stu- dent society as a whole for not turning out seems rather ridicu- lous. If they didn't turn out, the programs must not have intercom them enough to spend that much money to go to them. And ifthat is the case the programs weren't right. "Concerning budgeting for the rest of the year, 3000 additional dollars will have to be cut from the budget put out at the last coun- cil meeting, because the school (keeping in mind that some money has been spent for this first part of the school year) would not co-cign a loan. It should be also kept in (continued on page 4) Show less
