Show morePage 8 The Back Page Minneapolis, Minnesota Friday, March 11, 2011 Tips to fight winter weather skin SARA KLEMP Fcamres Editor Winter weather is hard on our minds and bodies. and many ofus are literally itching for spring. Cold and dry air leaves skin dry. itchy. inflated. and sometimes totally unbearable. Though ads for fancy lotions and body washes make many peo- ple think that one must spend big bucks to get products that relieve these symptoms. there are several budget-friendly things one can do to combat uncomfortable winter skin. - Washing in super hot showers or baths may feel amazing after coming in from the cold. but hot water actually causes drier skin afiera wash than lukewami or cool water. Also. it is better to bathe less in winter months. Soap also dries skin and hair. and showering everyday can definitely lead to more irritated skin. - Some say that a way to fight dry skin is to drink plenty of water. While this is a healthy choice. it will not necessarily help with winter skin. If your body is dehydrated. your skin will also become dry. but if you keep hydrated or over hydrate. your skin will not reveal much of a dilTerence. For skin. water is best taken in through soak- ing in the skin. ' Afier showers. pat your body damply dry but do not over do it. Moisturizers work better when applied to damp skin rather than fully dried skin. Moisturizer helps hold water in the skin. and being a little wet when applying it traps in more water. - According to Howard Donsky. MID.. associate profes- sor at the University of Toronto. nothing works better as a winter moisturizer than petroleum jelly or mineral oil. Also. for those who are not opposed to feeling a little extra greasy. basic vegetable oil or hydrogenated oils, like Crisco. actually work well as moisturizers. They are safe and inexpensive lubricants that double as cooking tools and skincare goods! - Humidifiers are great to have on during wintertime. Winter weather is less humid than summertime. and less humidity in the air makes our bodies feel dry. Keeping one by the bed. couch. homework desk. or anywhere else you can have one will help add a little humidity to the air and keep moisture in the skin. - Oatmeal is a great heal- ing agent for dry. irritated skin. Adding a few cups ofcolloidal. or finely ground. oatmeal to a luke- warm bath sooths skin. leaving it feeling moisturized and less itchy. Colloidal oatmeal can be feund at nearly any pharmacy. - Use “superfatted” soaps during winter months to moisturize skin while washing. Drying soaps like Dial or Ivory oflen contain lye, which is great for cleaning but not for moisturizing. Brands like Dove or Neutrogena are superfat- ted. which means they have higher amounts of super fatty substances in them like coca butter, coconut oil and cold cream. Kick the can to the curb: The truth about soda SARA KLEMP FCAIIIIITS Editor Can‘t start your day without cracking open a mountain dew? Always substitute lunch forjust a diet coke? Though its common knowl- edge that soda is not the healthiest drink choice. it is often a go—to drink for many college students. According to an article in the lan/imgiuii I’mi. soda accounts for one-fourth of all the be\ er- .iges consumed in the US. which equates to at least one lZ-ouncc drink per day b) may citizen. While these statistics show that man) will continue to drink soda regularly throughout life. no\\ is a better time than e\ er to break the habit. Here are a few reasons w h) to kick soda to the curb: Sugar Overdosing Soda is one ofthe easiest \\ ays to heatily increase your sugar intake without realizing it. In a study featured on MS— NBCcom. most adults in this country consume 22 teaspoons of sugar daily. As the recommended amount for women is six teaspoons and for men is nine teaspoons. that is way more than what is healthy. Even worse. teens are consuming 34 teaspoons daily. which is more than 5 times the daily recom- mended amount for women and more than 3 times that for men. Sugar is hard for many people mama klems@ausbur.edu . to avoid. but one major way to reduce sugar intake is to cut soda from your diet. On average. regular fla- \ored soda contains about eight teaspoons added sugar. Often times. people drink more than one throughout the day. While sugar itself may not register as having a high fat con— tent by itself. your body may treat it as though it does, The liver converts glucose molecules into triglycerides. or fat molecules. Although everything we eat is converted into these molecules. our bodies benefit from other nutri- ents in healthy foods unlike soda. which has no nutritional benefits and is mostly made of sugar and flavorings. Heavy sugar intake leads to greater risk ofobesity and Type-2 Diabetes. as well as tooth decay. INTERESTED IN WRITING A FEATURE? Contact our Features editor. Sugar also causes a short energy spike. or“sugar high." which fades into a crash within an hour or so. If energy is what you‘re looking to gain from soda. there are other drinks that can give your body energy and are sugar free. Obviously. coffee and tea are two great alternatives to sugary soda (unless you can‘t stand the taste of either without adding loads of cream or sugar). Brewed cofi‘ee contains 95~200 milligrams of caffeine per 8-ounce sewing, while your average soda has about 25—30 milligrams. Black tea also contains high caffeine content. coming in at 40-l20 milligrams per 8-ounce serving. and green tea contains about 25 milligrams per 8-ounce serving. Coffee and tea also contain certain antioxidants and other nutrients that are beneficial to the body. While these are healthier alternatives. be aware that drinking too much caffeine on a daily basis can lead to dependencies and other health issues. Bone Weakening In a study conducted at Har— vard University. researches con- cluded that teenage girls who regu- larly drink soda are at a three-times higher risk ofbone fracturing than those who do not drink soda. The study suggests that drink- ing two or more cans a day can lead to this weakening. This occurs because soda contains phosphorus acid. which impedes calcium metabolism and building of bone mass. Adolescence is a prominent time in bone development. and girls have a slightly different structuring process than boys. The study does not conclude why this difference in development occurs. but it does prove that girls need to be especially aware of their bone health. While it may not matter much in one’s college years, women's bone mass begins to decline dur— ing menopause. Getting enough calcium in one‘s diet is crucial to healthy bones later in life, espe- cially for women. The skeleton is the inner core of one’s body, and without it. one could not exist as a healthy, fully functioning human being. Be good to your inner self. especially you ladies! Word Find Stroke Risk Recently, CBS News pub- lished a story that revealed a con— nection between diet soda drinkers and heart health. According to the article, people who drink diet soda on a regular basis are more likely to suffer a stroke or heart attack than those who do not drink soda. The study followed 2.564 people who drank diet soda every day and concluded that these drinkers had a 61 percent higher risk of “vascular events.“ Though it is better to choose diet over regular soda. the addi- tives in it definitely do not truly make it a healthy choice. Some- thing interesting to note about diet coke is that in 2007. an additive called sodium benzoate, or E21 1, was removed from the recipe due to studies that showed it correlated with DNA damage and hyperactiv- ity in children. Today, most diet sodas contain aspartame, an artificial sweetening agent. and high levels of sodium, and these things can lead to a higher craving of carbohydrates and weight gain. Next time you opt for “light lunch“ of diet coke and low-fat pretzels, perhaps you should think again.

PEDEBSON Speaks Special evangelistic meetings are being conducted by Rev. M. A. Pederr son at Augsburg this week, April 7.11, under the auspices of the Mission Group from 6:30 to 8 o'clock each evening. Augsburg has been blessed splritu» ally in a special way thus far this year. The series of meetings held the first and the second quarters brought forth very gratifying results. The present series of meetings are ln the nature of consecration services and therefore of special interest to all Christian-minded people. Not only are all the students of Augsburg urged to attend these meet» ings. but also all the friends of the school are cordially invited. Special music has been arranged for each evening and Mrs. M. A. Pe- derson will also be present to assist Rev. Pederson at some of the meet. ings.

The thought of Easter . brings to different individuals widely varying thoughts and feel- ings. To some people Easter means the time when one dons one's " lasts-r bonnet" and new spring clothes to parade before the world. Others associate Easter with baskets. bunnies and Easter! eggs. To Christians, however. Easter has the greatest signi< ticnnce. it recalls and impresses upon the minds and souls a blessed truth—Jesus arose from the dead for our salvation! How often have We not heard and received the wish "A Joyful Enslar." True. Easter should be a time of happiness and rejoic- ing. but only those enn experience this who know that Christ isl their personal Savior. This knowledge fills one with transcendent happiness. What could be more blessed than to know that one need no longer t'enr eternal denth'.‘ Christ through His death on the cross took upon Himself the burden of our sins that we might haVe everlasting life. Easter can be a time of rejoicing for every individual if onet Wlll lint prepnre for it by making the Risen Lord one‘s own per. sonnl Snvinr. Christians also should prepare for Easter by medi-l toting on t‘hrist's sutferimt. death. and resurrection-The divine love of Christ as exemplified in His self-sacrifice on the cross} should till us with the deepest love and devotion. Only with this spirit in our hearts can we experience the most enduring Easter. joy nnd lilessedness. M. S. Save The Turf Unfortunater the sandy soil of the Augsburg campus makes the growth of a permanent turf almost impossible over much of the "block". especially the "square" as we might term it. the boundaries of which are [he dormitories and the Main. And now that the cleated shoes of the football men dash over it daily. conditions are in no wise improved. However. there is a green growth around East Hall that might. if given a chance. develop into at least a semblance of turf. - in particular we mean that area south of the walk from the Main. to North Hall. It is our opinion that the athletes and other ambi- tious seekers of exercise could easily keep to the surtlt side of that walk and so enable the little grass that has root to grow un- molested. Then the campus would not be entirely devoid of na- tum carpeting. —«.\‘. C.

The Cantata will be given shortly before the Easter recess begins. Honor Roll There is a decided improvement in the honor roll of the second quarter as compared with the first quarter. This improvement may be a result of the present system of supervised study which has now been in efl‘ect for almost a quarter. The honor roll reads as follows: Konseth 96.8; Oudal 96.8; A.

The members participated actively in the discussion, and the faculty advisor, Mr. Soberg, gave the Society some valuable suggestions. The topic for discussion at this meeting was one of our modern poets, April Fool The telephone rang; a score or two of men and maidens in the boarding club were thrilled there- by; and a score or more hearts skipped a best as their owners waited expectantly. Soon “Si” Berg entered from the hall and, looking inquirineg around without finding the man he wanted, rang the bell and announced, “Is here? Telephone!” A score or more of envious eyes followed the lucky one as he hur- ried out of the dining hall trying to make it appear that telephone calls were common occurences in his young life. while within him his heart was fluttering madly and he was overcome by alternate chills and thrills. “Who can it be?" he muttered under his breath, as he reviewed his past hurriedly, yet completely. “It might be that blonde in Argyle or the one from Oconto, but it is more likely to be that girl I met last week,“ he reasoned. “I haven't done anything wrong, so it must be good news." As he approached the telephone, trying to collect his scattered wits, he adjusted his tie. gave a hur- ried brushing to his already well- groomed hair. cleared his throat, and glanced around to see if any u namely, Edgar Guest. His life his- tory was given in a report, and sev- eral poems, humorous and otherwise, were read. Hilisrity and sobriety seemed to blend very successfully. Some piano solos were rendered, arm the Society especially enjoyed two violin solos. After the program had been suc- cessfully delivered a general discus sion was announced. Mr. Noruln. the president. read a question as to the possibility of Edgar Guest's poetry living in the future. An argument was brought up to the contrary, and was eagerly opposed by the sup- porters of Guest. The business was dispatched, and the meeting ad- journed. Debate Season Closes The negative team completed a suc- cessful season last week in debating Bethel Academy of St. Paul and Roosevelt H. S. of Minneapolis The decision debate with Bethel was one of the best of the season. Prof. Rog- ness of Luther Seminary rendered the decision to the ailirmative only by a small margin due to the fact that they had a clearer idea of the question and its analysis. The debate with Roosevelt was a non—decision clash. but proved to be very interesting. Roosevelt, it may be noted, has not lost any of its de- bates this season. Thus ends the Academy career of ,the negative team consisting of Gladys Oudal, Bertha Lillehei and Clifiord Johnson who this year are members of the graduating class.

Vol. lXIll By m am Friday afternoon Augsburg will have a new student body president»elect.‘ Either Byron Golie or Harlan Chris- tianson will receive a plurality in the election on Friday, and the winner will be announced that evening at the junior-senior banquet. Jim Norman, president this year, will present the new officers at the banquet and turn over the reins of government Tuesday at the last joint meeting of the old and new councils. IN HIS CAMPAIGN, Byron Golie, junior from Sacred Heart, maintains that in his administration he would strive to develop leaders, Encouraging students to take an active part will help them to be capable of playing an active role in a community council made up of representatives from administration, faculty and student body. BY STRIVING to place students on vital committees he would be taking a preliminary step in the formulation of this type of government However the only students who will be working intelligently on these com- mittees are those who have been devel- oped through the efforts of thc current type of student government. “IN ORDER TO get an effective Stu- dent body government wo must work together With the college administrate tion. But to do this each member of the student council must fulfill his respon- sibilities.” This is the core of the campaign of Harlan Christianson, senior from Bagley who will be in the Augsburg seminary next year. He feels that the student can better grasp certain aspi"‘l> of problems which the faculty or admin- islration is not in a position to rcolizc. Harlan also emphasizes that in order for the council to get action eaih incur her of the council must have his specific duties outlined. lf 3 member is not willng to fulfill these duties. l-larliin contends that the council has (-Viry right to expect the resignation of that member.

HISTORICALLY, professors have been dismissed because they believed in such things as liberal theology, abolition of slavery or the gold standard Such dismissals have been viewed with alarm by those who hold that for a university to ful- fill its proper role in a free so- ciety. it must be a “center of in- dependent thought" (Hutchins). a place where men seek the truth rather than guard accepted no- tions. TIIIS concept of education is based on certain unprovable tena ets regarding the nature of man and the meaning of human free- dom, equality, justice and law, sometimes called the "democratic charter" (Maritain). Statements like the following reflect this ba- sic faith: 1. Competition among an infi- nite variety of viewpoints is the surest safeguard to truth. 2. The learner is most free if he is encouraged to examine all available alternatives before mak ing his final choice. THE AUGSBURG ECHO $rama .95 flirt u/eeE Figure on tlre Cross' Portruys Mal/em Crucifixion Again and again in our inhumanity to man we crucify Christ. This is the theme of “The Figure on the Cross." the Lenten drama to be presented April 15 and 16 at 8:30 in the music building. The R. H. Ward choric drama is under the direction of Miss Ailene Cole. instructor in speech. Tickets at 60 cents for students and $1 for adults Will go on sale next week. The play depicts the crucifixion. a modern application of the seven last words of Christ and the descent from the cross. Each of the modern scenes shows an example of present day cruelty and ends with one of the words of Christ from the cross. For instance. a refugee woman is forbidden passage and hcr child dies. Angrily she lashes out at those responsible, then realizes that there is no love anywhere. Her speech ends with the not what they do." ' The chorus gives continuity and moan} response to the scenes and ends with l chm of praise. _ Music for a lullaby to be sung by the rem“ mother, Dorothy Larson, was composed by "1-. Leland B. Sateren, professor of music. The drama requires no scenery. Dr. B. .1 Kleven. professor of history and political union, is in charge of the lighting. Colors of the costumes will help the audience interpret the symbolism of the drama. The dark shades mean spiritual death while the lighter! colors symbolize rebirth. R. H. Ward, author of the drama, also wrote “The Holy Family" which was presenbd at Augsburg two years ago.

No special privileges ought to be accorded to authority and to tradition. 5. Each scholar must simply do the utmost with his own mind, no holds barred.

Show morePage Four Support Bill for Retarded WE HAVE published our series on the problem of the mentally retarded because we feel that these problems have relevance to college people. ~ Some of us may become parents of retarded children Then the problem will be personal, But all of us have a social responsibility in this matter. Right now there is a bill before the legislature which provides a different basis of payment for school districts having classes for the mentally retarded. If this bill is not passed, these classes will receive no state aid. PROSPECTS for the bill's approval are not good. It may die in committee unless enough citizens indicate their support. We might argue that training these people will make them less of a financial burden in the long run. But as Christians we have no right to use such an argument. If we believe what we profess about the value of each person and his right to fully develop himself, we should support training of the retarded whether or not this is less expensive in the long run. Voters Must Weigh Issues BY THE TIME campaigning will have reached its climax this Friday, it is hoped that candidates and voters alike will have tangled with some basic questions concerning the purposes of a student gov- ernmont on the college campus. For example, why should a student government exist on a cam- pus? What is the relationship of the student government program to the college's educational aims? What does it really mean to have a “successful” student government program? To A LARGE degree, the strength of next year’s student govern— ment program at Augsburg will be determined by how well each office holder comes to grips with the basic purposes and goals of student government. All students who are concerned about the improvement of student government at Augsburg will not only consider the personality of each candidate but will also judge how well he has shown himself to be prepared to take on responsibilities. Talk with the candidates and read their platforms. Discover whether they are formulating in their own minds the basic purposes and goals of student government. Decide who you think would be best prepared to take on responsibilities. Vote in the final April 12.

Reality obstructs the ideal. Expediency rebukes the conscience. Desires obscure values. IF ANY man seeks to become a whole person. let him deny him- self, take up his cross and suffer. An imitator of Christ cannot avoid the conflicts which come to him as he makes every effort to supple- ment faith with virtue, knowledge, self—control, patience, godliness, brotherly affection and love. The ideal of being faithful is threatened by the reality of faith- lessness. Pleasures make the demand of acquiring knowledge im— practicable. The exercise of self-control suppresses egotistical ambi- tions. Patience requires God-given energies ARE THESE not suffering? . Christ alone re'mains the perfection of godliness, brotherly affec‘ tion and love. But We are to be “little Christa." Only love could make our Savior take the way of crucifixion in order that sinners might be his brothers. And this was to be the pat- tern for his followers, the joy of finding oneself is preceded by con- flicts, tensions and struggles. To the unregenerated person suffering is meaningless misery. To one who is in Christ suffering becomes the instrument which fashion: the whole person—in the image of God.

The 49 page report focused on a student survey designed to find out information relating to student satisfaction with Augsburg. The survey was developed “to get information relevant to student retention and provide data to the responsible college officials andlor committees," stated Retention Com- mittee Chairman Richard Thoni. Thoni went on to add, "With the student satisfaction survey, the intent was to sample student reaction in hope of identifying those areas of student life in which the college is doing a good job and those which may deserve some attention regarding improvement." The student survey was adminis- tered Dec. 10, 1980, to 260 students in a randomly selected sample of classes. The sample was designed to produce a population reflective of the total student body. However, given the per- centages that were recorded, the sample appears slightly under—repre- sented in juniors, males, and natural science majors. Findings on the positive side of the survey results, students appeared to respond with greatest satisfaction when reacting to items involving relationships with peers and faculty and when evaluating aspects of the academic program. The two items in- dicating greatest satisfaction revealed that students generally like their fellow students and find it easy to make friends at Augsburg. Students reported that they felt cared for and respected by faculty, and most (79 percent) indicated that they felt free to discuss issues with their instructors The academic program in general also scored quite well in the survey. Students indicated that they were satisfied with their majors. felt that the quality of instruction was high, and believed that Augsburg was providing a good preparation for their futures. One student responded, “In general, I like my situation at Augsburg. We found the instructors to be helpful and their teaching good. The only complaint is that as a commuter it is hard to get active." One purpose of the student survey was to identify some of the factors which detract from the "quality of life“ at Augsburg College. A number most negatively to bureaucratic problems and what they consider inappropriate treatment by college officials. Other negative concerns relate to problems that limit their enjoyment of life on campus. The Rentention Committee. in order to present the data to Anderson in a clear and constructive manner. organ- ized two categories in which to prioritize the most important issues, The first category dealt With issues which merit immediate attention.

The problem is energy conservation. Part of the plan involves William E Rust of Rust Architects. Rust is a certified architect who has been hired by Augsburg to do an energy analySis of eight campus buildings. Augsburg chose Holstad and Assomates to do the mini audit of the buildings and they in turn work with Rust Architects for the maxi audit. According to Gerald Johnson, director of plant services, the eight buildings are: Science Hall. the library. Memorial Hall, Mortenson Tower, Urness. the MUSIC Budding, Si Melby and the Ice Arena. Currently. the maxi audit program is a federally funded program first initiated by ex-PreSIdent Carter to find ways of savmg energy However, prior to the man audit program. which shows "how and where energy is used in a budding," according to Rust, a mini audit is done Mini audits are preliminary on-Site investigations of "how and where energy is lost in a particular building." stated Rust.

As of Apr. 3, 1981, 578 applications had been received by the admissions office. By the same week last year, 528 applications had been received. “Although Augsburg's tuition has gone up. we're competitive with the other Minnesota private schools." Lange stated. She said students and parents are concerned about the high price of a college education but are especially concerned with cuts in their finanCIal aid. To combat further competition. Lange said the Minnesota private schools met and decided to allocate financial aid as they normally would, subjecting each school and student to the same problems with cuts in their financial aid program. In addition to the increase of 50 applications from last year, incoming freshmen deposits are up by 34, transfer applications have increased by 14, and 17 additional transfer deposits have been received in comparison with the same week last year. Is Augsburg lowering its academic standards to get students to the college? Lange says no. "It's fantastic to see that we’ve already exceeded the 1980 total for honors program candidates," she said. In 1980, the honors program candidates totaled 53. As of Mar. 27, 1981, with applications still coming in. 59 applicants have been approved as candidates for the honors program. The enrollment statistics for ‘81-'82 also show that so far 54 percent of the applicants are women and 46 percent are men. According to Lange, the women-men split is expected to be 52 percent women and 48 percent men in the fall (once the majority of the incoming male athletes finish their season. look at the different colleges' seasons records. and apply during the summer). Lange attributes part of the increased enrollment to the hard work done by this year's experienced recruiting staff. "We were able to organize five academic sit-ins this year instead of the one we had last year," she said. “I also think that the friendliness of the students and faculty really sells this college." she added. Out of an admissions staff of six. Lange said that she and two others will not be returning in the fall. Lange plans to go to London with her church for 10 weeks, Afterwards. she will decide whether to go back to school. or work in education. business, or the ministry Continued from page 1 make recommendations." A proposal will then be submitted to the govern- ment seeking matching funds for the improvement of the buildings involved. "The office through which matching funds are appropriated is being disbanded due to budget cuts by President Reagan," said Johnson, “so we're not sure if the results of the maxi audit program will go through." At present, Rust has checked three butldings—Science Hall, the library and Memorial Hall. He expects to be finished with the audits by this July. He stated, "There is a fair amount of energy loss due to the opening of windows to allow ventilation of overheated rooms." Furthermore, “Stairwells in some buildings are overheated. This is due to uninsulated pipes," added Rust. According to Johnson, "The insula- tion was on order and now it's in. So we can begin installing it as soon as we can get someone to do it." “Many times it may be to the advantage of the school to keep the thermostat temperature down." con~ tinues Rust. This is especially preferred for classrooms where mobile CHRISTINE HALVORSON edl‘OY‘anChlel students are in and out on an hourly basis and who are also dressed for the weather outside. It is not seriously contemplated for people who work in an office eight hours a day. Rust added that more insulation to the roofs of buildings would be a positive addition, Johnson commented, “Insulation of roofs was done last summer and the new windows in Old Main are thermals." Both Johnson and Rust emphasized that most of the campus buildings were built during a time when energy was of little or only secondary importance. "Today," stated Rust, “it becomes cost effective to save energy." He continues, “In the United States, people in general are accustomed to highly lit areas whereas people in Europe take advantage of available light." (Example: One should have one‘s desk facing a window rather than having one's back to a window.) According to Rust, not only are offices overly lit but also the main floor of the library. During the day when the BOYD KOEHLER laCulty advtsor Some lights in the library are overused and William Rust believes that some could be turned off during the day, particularly near the library windows. sun is shining. the lights nearest the wtndows need not be on. The type of light~flourescent or incandescent—can also make a difference in energy costs. Rust advocates a change from incandescent lighting to flourescent lighting and Johnson wholeheartedly agrees. Johnson used an example to illustrate the cost difference the type of lighting can make, "It costs $40 per year to keep one 500 watt incandescent light fixture burning 50 weeks out of the year. eight hours per day On the other hand." Johnson continued. "it costs $5.60 per year to operate a more energy efficient two»bulb 70 watt flourescent light fix- ture for the same amount of time." The only drawback involved with flourescent lighting is the $60 installation cost. However, after one and a half years. the new fixture becomes well worth the cost originally spent in having it installed. "Two possible ideas," said Rust. “are to install flow restrictors on showers to reduce the water flow and also to reduce the maximum water news editor MARY BEAMISH JOHN NICHOLS sports editor LORI JOHNSON line arts editor KAY MALCHOW features editor MOLLY OLSON busmess manager ERIC KANTEN head photographer SUE KAPPERS RICHARD THOMPSON copy editors KATHLEEN BLIXRUD NANCY NYSTUEN layout editor 7ECH0 Photo by Chuck Sta/ling temperature." The first could be done through the use of aerators. and the latter could be done by simply turning the thermostat down. According to Johnson, much of this has been done or is in the process of being done. Johnson added, "We are aware of 90 percent of what Rust will tell us as far as what he will find." Other things Rust discovered in his general over view of the campus were: doors in need of replacement due to wear, lack of storm windows in Memorial, an unaligned front door on the psychology building and the energy inefficient entrance to the Science Hall. Even if the government doesn't give Augsburg matching funds, the work will get done, though probably not as quickly nor as much as is possible. If the maxi audits of the eight bUildings do go through, according to Johnson, "We might approach the government to do a mini audit of the houses."

Show moreS u from page 1 The Retention Committee had several concerns with regard to the action taken by the president and his vice presidents In response to the data in the report. The committee outlined four Items: 1) that the issues identified not be allowed to die without attention; 2) that prompt action be taken on the items of “immediate priority;" 3) that corrective action be taken in a caring and sensitive manner; and 4) that corrective action be aimed at the systematic causes for the concern as well as the symptom. Anderson was grateful to the Retention Committee for preparing the report. Anderson stated, “A study like this is more helpful when it identifies areas that need improvements." He went on to add. “I formed this committee, it was not someone who said ‘let‘s get after the administra- tion.’ I was pleased with the amount of work they did and they worked on it very seriously to get the information." ' What will happen now that student concerns about the college have been documented and presented to the proper authorities? Anderson and his staff have already reviewed the report. He said, “Specific issues have been assigned to different people." The vice presidents must come back to Anderson by mid-April with written responses as to how they intend to address the concerns. With respect to the matter of rude treatment to students, President's Staff intends to: 1) have department managers meet with Richard Thoni to obtain the context and nature of complaints received from students; 2) design a staff development segment (workshops) for summer implementa- tion to assist staff in altering their operating styles and methods; 3) address improvements in working conditions in the Business Office, Registrar’s Office and Library, by carpeting areas to reduce noise, provide office space dividers and to paint and clean walls in office areas; and 4) respond to the adequacy of the staffing question which seems to be raised with the Housing, Business and Plant Service offices. Jeff Kosse, chlef accountant in the Business Office, indicated that the atmosphere surrounding his staff may reflect how they respond to students. Kosse reported that his staff plans on donating their time and energy to repair the office to improve its physical environment. He also added that the college will be providing carpet to reduce the noise. Kosse felt that the majority of complaints about rude treatment focused on the cashier window. “I feel the problem there has improved. We have a new cashier who enjoys her job," stated Kosse. When asked what he thought of the Rentention Committee Report, he responded, “I hope they will take another survey this spring to see if we have improved." Jerry Johnson, director of Plant Services, was glad to get the comments from the survey. “I viewed the statements as constructive criticism and not as destructive," stated Johnson. Johnson felt his office has improved since fall semester and suggested that the committee admin- ister another survey soon. Johnson speculated that shortly his staff will soon be able to complete 90 percent of all work orders in one to two days. As pointed out earlier, the academic Fri., Apr. 10, tat program fared well in the survey. However, there were areas that still need attention: academic advising, faculty availability (office hours), transfer orientation, and more diversi- fied interim courses. Dean Richard Green, vice president of academic affairs, was pleased with the report. He was glad to see that overall, students approved of their academic programs at Augsburg. Green pointed out that faculty availability is an issue he plans on addressing. He intends to provide a schedule of all faculty office hours and their classes around campus (e.g. at $0.5. desk, in the Student Government Office, in each academic department, and in his office.) Dean Green added that a committee will soon be organized to work on faculty evaluations. (Faculty evaluations were not used by the dean's office this year, because they are pending review.) Issues which Marianne Sander, vice president of student affairs, must deal with include: rude treatment and lack of availability of the Housing Office, complaints about the noise in residence units. how well enforced present policies are. and better publizing of counseling services. Sander spoke of one issue relating to the problem in the Housing Office. Sander pointed out, “As compared to other colleges, we have significantly fewer number of personnel. At the same time we have an operation that is more dispersed. We have the worst ratio of Resident Advisors compared to the University, so that too much ends up being channeled through one office and students feel like they are not receiving immediate attention." In order to solve the Housing situation, Sander has made three staff recommendations. “I am recommend- ing a full—time Urness head resident as we have now, a full-time Mortensen head resident who will have additional administrative duties beyond Morten- sen Tower, and a half-time head resident for apartments and annex houses," explained Sander. Sander was very receptive to the student survey report, although she cited one point that needed clarifica— tion. Sander said, “The danger whenever there is something going wrong is to identify who is to blame for it, instead of solving the problem. i think the more we can own the problems as ‘mutual problems,’ the more we can work together as a college community to solve them." With the report in the administra- tion's hands, the Retention Committee will not allow the information to pass by without serious deliberation. The committee has secured the president's attention to keep them informed of his staff's activities. Joan Maland. former student society president and Reten- tion Committee member said, “The results of the survey were not surprising to me at all. I think the most important point to make is that these issues are not overlooked, and that all the committee members have a personal responsibility to see that each concern is successfully followed through." “There may be a variety of reasons that students experience dissatisfac- tion with a given area of college life. The Retention Committee trusts that the information provided will help the college discover the underlying reasons for student concerns and assist those responsible in creating positive change in those areas," Thoni concluded. Energy audit Continued from page 2 inspection of the eight buildings are concerned. “We want him to act strictly on his own," said Johnson, “We don't want to cloud his judgment. He’s a professional." Johnson added, “I'm not certified to go to the government and ask for money, he is." Among further ideas Rust advanced to help make the college more energy efficient were the use of thermal lined drapes, the upgrading of single glaze windows to double or triple glaze windows and the education of staff. As far as the Ice Arena is concerned, according to Johnson, the rink which would suffer the greatest heat loss (the one closest to the outside) is not operative in the summer. It sounds trite but remember to turn off the lights! “You are paying for energy (cost and |oss)—maybe not the bill itself but through a reduced student-teacher ratio." stated Rust. Johnson stated that the design of Science Hall was such that it is “impossible to insulate." Efforts toward insulation of it would be either minimal or negligible. "The length of the payback period might not be worth it," said Johnson. “in the future, when Augsburg plans building additions, I'm sure it will look at energy conservation with regard to design," ended Rust.

The vote to proceed with this program was unanimous with the faculty, and the college's support has been considerable since the plan's inception. Part of that support includes $60 thousand for the purchase of a computer. “The demonstrator, PDP 11/60, is a real bargain at 860 thousand," stated Improper/y aligned doors on the front entrance 0/ the Psychology building are one source of energy loss that William Rust has found. 7ECHO Photo by Chuck Stall/rig Next Echo deadline This is the last Echo before Easter break We will also not publish the Friday after Easter due to budget restrictions.

After today‘s issue, there are only two serious issues remaining for the year. minor passed physics Professor Mark Engebretson, who also stressed the fact that while this program is expected to develop further in the future, the emphaSIS now is heavy on quality rather than growth. "Quality is our main concern" said Engebretson, "We don‘t want to sacrifice quality just to get the program started." Why computer science? Consider the already widespread use of micro- computers today. Machines that were affordable only to giant corporations and government agencies 20 years ago have now been implemented by small businesses, churches, schools, even private homes. The use of “electronic buildings," with built in computers to control energy use and improve communications is already upon us. Workers in all disciplines and in increasing numbers will be expected to use computers or computer terminals for short distances or instant world- wide communications, Dr. Beverly Durkee, department of mathematics chairperson,said. “There is a real consensus need to be aware of the rising demand for those well trained in computer sciences." She pointed out that Minnesota leads the nation in the number of public school students using computers, The program is aimed at those students planning a further career in business data processmg and business. or those planning further study or careers in computer science.

Show moreletters Events not isolated To the editor: I congratulate the Echo staff for dealing with the issue of anti-semitism on campus. I also congratulate the Augsburg community for reacting with nearly universal disgust at these attacks. There are two points that need clarification if we are to understand the significance of these attacks and what our response should be. In the first place the issue is not merely religious intolerance; it is racism. Where anti-semitism has been institutionalized (where there have been laws and official policies oppressing Jews as in nazi Germany). religious beliefs did not define Jewishness; ancestry did. If we are to address the issue of racist attacks seriously, we must address not only anti—semitism but also the attacks on Black, Latin, Native American and Asian workers and students. Racism is implemented in many ways in a capitalist society—from racist wage differentials, segregated housing and schooling, to the creation in colleges and universities of racist ideas such as race and IQ psychology and sociobiology. ideas which defend institutionalized inequality. Notice that all of these are policies—they don‘t happen just because some of us are prejudiced. In fact they teach us to be prejudiced. When these inequalities in a capitalist society are defended by racist hoodlums, terrorizing minorities and any of us who might support them. then that society is fascist. Under fascism all the oppressive conditions of ougsburg confess We are free, responsible persons | wish to use these lines to comment on the most unfor— tunate experience of one of our students as described in last week's Echo. Even the possibility that anyone would find this type of religious bias on our campus, or anywhere for that matter, is abhorrent to all of us. What can be done? The actions of Dean Sander and her staff, given the lack of any identification of the persons in- volved, were appropriate. They would perhaps have been moretimely if a six month period had not elapsed between the first incident and its report. The request for information and suggestions for discussion made by the Echo are most helpful. Truth and the bright light of day have a way of dis- capitalism become intensified (fascism in NOT part of socialism). In the second place the events on campus are not isolated, merely unfortunate situations unrelated to the rest of the world. Racist terror—from the ku klux klan. the nazis. the cops. Ia migra (immigration cops)—pervades the streets of Atlanta, Mobile, Miami. LA. New York, etc. There is a reason for this racist terror. It keeps workers from getting together (Anne‘s state- ment that she now feels less close to her Gentile friends) to fight the other aspects of fascism—high unemploy- ment, inflation. forced overtime and speedup on the job, murderous cutbacks in welfare, unemployment compensation. etc.. etc—cutbacks which are used to pay for a military machine. So what do we do? I think we must organize to fight racism at Augsburg and elsewhere with the following things in mind: 1. We must understand what racism is. As pointed out above. institutional racism is different from the individual problems each one of us has with prejudice. Furthermore all of us who are members of the working class—any of us who have no choice but to work for a wage either new and/or when we complete school— must recognize that racism hurts us because it keeps our class lelded and unable to fight for a better life for our whole class. Therefore those of us who are white Anglo Gentiles do not need to fight racism out of guilt but rather in our own self-interest—in the interest ions pelling lies and of driving away persons whose natural habitat is dark hallways and whose thinking, for whatever reasons, is also shadowy. Two courses of action are to be avoided, or so it seems to me. First, | wish to avoid the type of over reaction which would set up a security system comparable to a police state. This is not really workable; even a President can be assaulted, as we discovered to our horror, though surrounded by Secret Service personnel. We should move to convince rather than simply suppress. Second, I wish to avoid painting the entire college with the broad brush of racial and religious intolerance. Some individuals with other agendas may well try to do this. but to generalize on the basis of these particulars is neither correct nor scholarly. There are simply too many loose ends as yet. For example, although the pictures of our student body were carefully studied, no identification of the culprits was made. We have no evidence to tie them to the campus except a iacket 4 Continued on page 5 YES-- J’ozAND? \lE wow UKETD HA); ,4 Lime W0” LABOR UNIONS WITH You- .. W of the class to which we belong. This IS called a class analysis of racism. Every time I have made this analysis in the Echo I have been red- baited—the analysis has been called Marxist and therefore presumably wrong. I hope that this class analysis will be evaluated on the basis of its substance rather than on the basis of some anti-communist rhetoric. 2. To achieve the unity of the working class we must continually fight against all the racist ideas and the other anti»working class ideas which we have been very carefully taught. We must organize multi-racial- Iy (as in the International Committee Against Racism (INCAFi) to which I belong). and we must struggle to integrate the places where we live and work. At Augsburg our most important struggle should be for affirmative action in faculty and staff hiring and in student recruitment. This means fighting cutbacks and layoffs and fighting for new positions to be filled by minority workers and students. 3. We must unequivocally set out to suppress groups like the nazis and the kkk which advocate genocide (killing people of particular races). The working class gives them no right to express their racist ideas nor to recruit people to carry out their goals of racist murder. Whether Anne's attackers were organized fascists or not, they have been influenced by the propaganda of organized fascists including the free publicity given them by the news media. Some people will object to this saying that freedom of speech must be defended for all people. However I believe the issue of free speech is a false one. It is used to defend the right to publish racist ideas, but anti-racist ideas are hardly ever broadcast without a struggle. (The ACLU, from which a letter was printed in last week's Echo, actively seeks to support the klan and nazis when their "freedom of speech is abridged; it has never volunteered such help to INCAFi.) To try to say that we can grant “freedom of speech" to fascists but somewhow prevent them from implementing their ideas is ahistorical. Hitler stated that his small party could have been wiped out in 1923 on a Sunday afternoon by the German Communist Party which then num- bered 3 million. By 1936 those same Communists who hesitated to attack the fascists were in the nazi concentra- tion camps. They were followed by millions of Jews and other ethnic groups, and the world war against fascism that followed claimed more than 100 million lives. In France and England the fascists were physically confronted by the organized communist parties every time they held a rally. Anti-fascists were injured and killed in these demonstrations, but the fascists were never able to capture state power as they did in Germany, Austria and Italy for example. I invite everyone who is angered by the anti-semitic attacks on Anne and who wants to do something about it to join INCAR. I especially invite Anne to join INCAFi and to make herself known to anti—racists on campus; fascism can be destroyed only with multi-racial unity and only with the organized activity of masses of people.

The significance is that they did and continue to respond. A first reaction, generally, was, “Is this true?” Disbelief is expected, but be assured it is true. We have refrained from disclosing the victims true name for her own protection. It is still unsure exactly how much her assailants know about Anne, and anonymity may help to avoid further assaults. The responses, both oral and written, have been ones of shock, support, and affirmative action. The awareness the story produced has brought out the latent reactionary tendencies in many people and has elicited some positive steps toward understanding. —The International Committee on Racism, with Bobbi Lammers‘ support, arranged for a movie and discussion on anti-Semitism to be shown on campus last Monday. —A group of concerned students, organized by Mary Deering, arranged an open forum for all concerned to attend on Wednesday. —KCMR radio brought the issue to their open forum show last Sunday and has arranged for Morton Ryweck of the Anti—Defamation League to be interviewed April 22. —The Minneapolis Tribune picked up on the story and is working on their own that will relate this incident to others they have heard concern the Echo article. I cannot declare that this remark Continued from page 4 anti-Semitic, fascism and anti-Semi- tism are two concepts which should not be confused with each other. Although fascists have usually been anti- Semites, anti-Semites may or may not be fascists. Furthermore, the word "fascist" is used to loosely in political propaganda that it is virtually a meaningless word. It is regrettable also that the “anti-fascist" film “The Seventh Cross" was the one chosen to present the case against anti-Semitism. Regrettable, because its author, Anna Seghers, has been a life-long apologist for and advocate of a system wholly as brutal and as inimical to the free human spirit as was fascism! it is really not enough to be “anti—fascist." To take an anti-fascist seriously, one must examine his/her record on human freedom. Seghers‘ record on this score is very dubious. William E. Oyler Asst. Prof. of German Due process should begin Dear Editor: About an hour after the bomb “scare” last Friday, I walked into the Center and saw a group of male Augsburg students near the Echo distribution table. As i walked up the stairs to the Commons, I heard one of them shout. “Did you read this?" “Yeah,” someone answered. And then the questioner yelled, “We're going to pull her tits off one by one!" Circumstantially, I could not identify the speakers nor exactly what the remark referred to. But because i did know one of the bystanders, I later ascertained that the remark indeed was directed at “Anne” and did Fri., Apr. 10,1981 was a literal threat, but I can say that it was a figurative threat and that it is this kind of attitude, boldly proclaimed in the Center, that makes possible actual physical assaults. And I can confirm that Augsburg students indeed are involved and that there are people who know who they are. Such incidents potentially should result in expulsion from the college and criminal prosecution. I do believe in due process and even in justice tempered by mercy, and l believe that the process out to begin. Sincerely, John Mitchell We must act immediately To the Editor, The incidence of anti-Jewish violence on the Augsburg campus as reported in the Echo requires an immediate response from all students on our campus. Whether that response takes the form of meditation, prayer, confrontation, or communication, we must act immediately. The authoritarian stance assumed by every alarming cult and national- istic movement is frequently echoed in segments of the traditonal religious movements which many of us have adopted as our own. The truth of these distortions is not always taught within our churches, synagogues, or sat- sangs. It remains the human duty of every one of us to examine what distortions we bring to our religious truths. For Christians, the truth of the cross is never an ethnocentric, racialist stance. The cross of Christ invites the symbol of the “crossing over" of truth into every religious or cultural outlook. Love does not mean coercion, mind control, nor killing. The way of Christ about in the metro area. —Anti-Semitism and the story of Anne has been discussed in at least two classes, and probably more, in the past week. —Some people, having read the story, have considered other things that have happened on campus and are trying to find a link or a clue. There was one concrete clue that someone who had read the story turned in to the Center for Student Development. —There has been increasing concern shown for the security system on campus and questions raised as to why these attacks were not made public immediately. The persons concerned expressed their opinion that any kind of assault on campus should be announced immediately in order to protect the rest of the community. In an effort to protect the victims and/or the assailants, they believe others may be victims because they were not cautioned. —Finally, an acute awareness is in effect right now. Campus personnel in general are in a state of mind to be alert to things they hear, see, or read and most are ready to take some kind of action to combat against future incidents. The time for intense concentration on the subject is now. It should not be allowed to die out as the first furor passes. There is much more that can and should be done. The responses that have materialized so far are good. They could be better. They could endure beyond this incident into an ongoing discussion, concern, and activism. Of course, one vital thing is still missing: the persons responsible for these attacks have not been found. Due process against them cannot begin until they are. Confessions and the fact that, "they were the right age." But let us assume they were our people! We are like a small town of around two thousand. Simple statistics would lead one to believe that in any group this size there are bound to be some who are personally disturbed, or whose personal abilities do not allow them to engage in open discourse, but only to push other persons around. We are not isolated from the larger community. The larger problems of prejudice and injustice are present here as well. They must be addressed. The stance of Augsburg College is clear. We have always publically affirmed the values of pluralism and maintained that religious freedom, not simply toleration, is the proper position for a free people. The recent Inter-Faith Dialogue on Christians and Jews was actively promoted by Augsburg. We helped sponsor the Dialogue, at my suggestion to the organizers, and distributed over 1700 brochures on campus describing the event. The regular offering of a class in Contemporary Judaism, taught by Rabbi Stephen Barack, is another instance in which the wealth of another tradition, one in which Christians find their religious roots, is made available to the campus. Persons who believe themselves to be Christian and who yet have no room in their hearts for the beauties and insights of Judasim and its proponents might do well to remember the essay written by the early Luther: That Jesus of Nazareth was Born a Jew. It is clear to me that one thing we need on this campus is a better balance between freedom and responsibility. Some persons claim that "freedom" is some sort of absolute and that any restraint is necessarily evil. Part of growing up, of becoming mature persons, is recognizing that personal freedom stops or reaches its boundary when it intrudes upon the freedom of another. Did the young men in question have the freedom to mishandle the young woman? Did she not have the freedom to be a student here and to express her views? Think about this in every area of our community life. We are free persons, yet always responsible for, and to, each other. it is possible to grow old without ever understanding this. I hope that none of you has this unfortunate experience. C. Anderson education, the purpose of which is liberation . . . freedom from ignorance, intolerance and bigotry.

Show moreCap and Gown response To the editor: As Sr. Class President, one who is responsible for ensuring the input of seniors in major decisions regarding graduation activities, I would like to clarify the issue of cancelling the Cap and Gown Ceremony. In March I sent out a senior news- letter notifying seniors of important issues and decisions. One such decision was the discontinuation of the Cap 8. Gown Ceremony. The following is quoted from my March newsletter: “The two major purposes of the Cap and Gown Ceremony are to present the distinguised faculty awards and to present the various honors to graduating seniors. in the past, faculty, undergraduate, and even senior attendance was poor. The Senior Class Commencement Commit— tee (SCCC) looked into how we could increase attendance by making program changes. We were unable to come up with changes that would attract attendance. Therefore, we propose to discontinue the ceremony. The important elements of the ceremony will be incorporated into two existing graduation functions—the Senior Breakfast and Graduation. The faculty will have a chance to review the proposal before final approval. The President is favorable to the change. If you have any major objections or questions, please let me know immediately." l have always concluded my newsletters by saying “If you have any questions regarding graduation, please give me a call." I agree Camilla, it is very important that seniors are given the opportunity to voice their opinions on decisions regarding graduation. One of my major priorities this year has been to get as many seniors as possible involved in the preparation for graduation. I encourage your partici- paiion, please give me a call. Kris Johnson Sr. Class President Religious actrwtles To the editor: Reactions to Chris Halvorson's April 3 article informing us of the insulting and threatening attacks made against "Anne," were numerous but varied. I would like to point out one thing—the Importance of “Anne's” coming forward. it is vital that we be made aware that personal attacks of this sort can, and do take place at Augsburg. But, the importance extends beyond mere awareness. The issue must also be addressed, lest all effort for greater understanding be in vain.

[Pd/W (’0 ' State Bank of Minneapolis Academy Awards honor film ’3 value By KATHY BLIXRUD Staff Writer "The old adage, ‘the show must go on' seemed relatively unimportant," explained an unusually serious Johnny Carson at the start of the 53rd Academy Awards, March 31. The shooting of President Reagan marked the third time the awards have been postponed. Rain delayed it for a week in 1938. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. delayed it two days in 1968. Carson said Reagan expressed his wishes that the Academy use his prerecorded remarks in any way they wanted, despite the incident. Carson also reported Reagan had requested a television in his room so he could watch. He probably had better luck getting a television than the Mortensen Tenant Society had that night. According to Joan Maland, MTS had rented the big screen TV that was in the college center lounge Monday for $250. “One day, and that was it. The next morning it was taken away." The big screen did not sit idly Monday, however. Students and faculty watched news reports of the shooting in the afternoon and evening, and later, the NCAA basketball tournament. On Tuesday Maland brought down her color TV, but only a handful of people showed up to watch. She guessed the poor response to “Academy Awards Night" “had a lot to do with losing the TV." The theme of the show this year was the value of the motion picture industry. from Reagan's taped remarks on “Film is Forever" to film clips of famous lines that have become regular phrases in conversation. The opening number began with film clips, as Lucie Arnaz sang “Hooray for Hollywood“ with new lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman. The screen turned to smoke and movie characters walked out of it to sing and tap dance with Arnaz. There were gangsters. southern belles, keystone kops and someone who looked like Lawrence of Arabia. it was really strange, but they topped this later by tap dancing rather than simply reading the rules. One knew Ordinary People would win a lot of Oscars: each time going in or out of a commercial break the camera would pick out of the audience a beaming Timothy Hutton (who won the first award of the night for Best Supporting Actor) or a sullen Judd Hirsch (who lost the same), Robert Redford, looking vaguely uncomfort- able (he usually skips these sorts of events) or constantly smiling Mary Tyler Moore. As it turned out, the film won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenpaly Adaptation and Best Supporting Actor. Tess, directed by ill-fated Roman Polanski, has been called a beautiful, if dull, film. Naturally it won Oscars for Art Direction, Costume Design and Cinematography. Robert DeNiro won Best Actor for his portrayal of boxer Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull. (This film won Best Editing also.) Sissy Spacek won Best Actress for her portrayal of Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner's Daughter. mary Steenburgen won Best Supporting Actress for her role In Melvin and Howard. (This film won Best Original Screenplay—by Bo Goldman also.) Luciano Pavarotti, opera singer. received a standing ovation for his singing, then presented the award for Best Original Song to Fame which also won Best Original Score. The Empire Strikes Back won a Special Achievement Award for Visual Effects, as well as one for Sound. Much of those effects were made possible by a machine, the Acme Optical Printer, which also received an Oscar, or rather, its inventors did. Robert Redford presented an honorary award to Henry Fonda, for his 46 years in the business. Fonda didn’t look very strong, however and made a quick exit. Some one in the audience of “63 countries and 300 million people" (statistics were often mentioned during the evening) was not alert. Apparently the man who accepted the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film (The Fly) had nothing to do with the film. No one knew who he was, and he disappeared from the auditorium after giving a short speech. Despite the shocking events of the day before, hardly a shadow was cast upon the presentations. Carson even ventured to say that the cut of the arts in the budget proposal was “Reagan's strongest attack since he signed on with Warner Brothers.“ Refering to the bedridden president, Carson quickly added, "l’ll bet he's up now." You are needed The Blood Donor Unit from the Minneapolis War Memorial Blood Bank will be on campus starting at 8:30 until 3:30 April 15 for the annual blood donor drive. The donations will be received at scheduled intervals with the donor allowing one-half hour for the procedure. All members of the Augsburg College Community (students, faculty, and staff) are members of the club. it any person at Augsburg needs blood in connection with medical care they can receive it through the club. Parents of single students and the dependents of married students are also covered if the blood unit reserve in the Augsburg account is sufficient to meet such needs. Members of the Augsburg Com- munity have received blood replace- ment during the past year both on an emergency basis, or a more regular basis. With the maintenance of the required number of blood units through the donor program, the possibility of continued coverage is assured. Students are covered up to 12 months after graduation and faculty and staff members are covered until 12 months after the last day of their employment. Give that others might live.

Show moreStudent recitals bring discipline, focus By LORI JOHNSON Fine Arts Editor For the observant person, Augsburg is full of signs of spring, signalling midterms are past and freedom is close at hand. Campus fashion changes from the dulls and drabs to lights and brights. Murphy Square is transformed into a quasi-beach complete with frisbees and bathing suits, and class attendance has a remarkable correlation with the thermometer. A strange fluttering is heard, not just the return of birds, but of posters announcing cheap meal tickets and the ever—popular student music recital. For those on the “inside,” recitals become quite a preoccupation. But for those whose life goals do not include the performing arts, recitals remain something of a mystery. With the over-abundance of recitals scheduled this time of year it seems appropriate to shed some light on the matter. There are a few ground rules. For example, most recitals are either an hour-long individual recital, or a combination of two half-hour recitals Jim Johnson, assistant professor of music at Augsburg explained that for a Bachelor of Music degree an individual must give two recitals, and for a Bachelor of Arts, one. He added, however, “My students usually give more. That's how they grow." Johnson thinks a recital is equal to 2-3 years of study, regardless of your amount of experience. “it heightens performance and brings everything into focus," he said. Senior music major, Mary Hegre interrupted, “it also makes you practice." Hegre has given two individual piano recitals. She said she thought she would not have had to do the second one, given last Monday, but added, “You might as well, what else are you doing the music for.?" Hegrethinks it is helpful to set goals for yourself, but added that you often don't meet them. “When it gets down to just one week, then four days, your practicing becomes more focussed," she said. Hegre confessed that her typical phrase the week before her recital was “It'll be alright." Obviously the pressures are great, but the interest in performing is greater. Tim Schultz is a sophomore music major. His first recital, also last Monday, was a combination of piano and percussion. Schultz admitted feeling scared during the days before the recital, but “excited-scared . . . a good kind of scared." He said, “You have less time and higher concentra- tion. Your focus, thinking and discipline all improve." Schultz also mentioned an aspect of the recital that few people think about but which is just as improtant as the performance to the performer, stage presence. He described some of the various types of bows taught by Augsburg faculty. “Johnson will say, ‘Where are the teeth, Tim?‘. There are so many things to think about!" Scott Snider is an example of “breaking into" the music depart- ment. Snider is a Religion and Philoso» phy major but he looks forward to a career in opera. He said the most challenging aspects of putting on a recital for him were the technical problems, such as getting programs Fri-. Apr. to, 19in printed, reserving the auditorium to practice in and just getting together with his accompianist. He added, “It tends to detract from what you really should be doing . . . the music." Snider‘s recital is an option, not a requirement. He said, “even if you're not thinking of a performance career a recital is a real confidence builder. It's fun to get out there and strut you? stuff." That may sound a little self-centered but all of the musicians said that performance was very important to them, and not for egotistical reasons. Snider said he had spent about two hours a day preparing during the last month and a half. Hegre said she had worked on one piece in her program since last spring. In any case, the preparations, mental and physical, are time and energy consumers. Hegre said, “At least it shows what l do with my time!“ Schultz added. “It‘s like people in sports. This is my thing. I want to show people what We been doing. It‘s a different type of atmosphere than most people are used to seeing me in. I'm doing a serious performance of serious music," Senior trombonist. Steve Bleifus recently won the distinction of being the first instrumentalist to give a recital totally from memory. He observed that all pianists are required to memorize their programs and that he thought an instrumentalist should be able to memorize also. Bleifus set his goals to memorize his music because it "allows you to get Peace Week As the international climate be- comes tense with increasing occur- rences of violence and terrorism, the possibility increases that the relatively peaceful situation we enjoy in this country could be threatened. When events taking place globally don't touch our lives directly, it is easy for us to neglect the international situation. Yet, as world citizens, we share an obligation to make ourselves aware of international peace issues. Though a threat to peace is not necessarily imminent, it is necessary to address those issues now. By not confronting the situation, we only add to the potential of disruption in our lives, With this in mind, Sigma house is sponsoring a series of peace—related events April 13 through April 16. During this week we hope to inform you, through chapels, forums, and eucharist, of peace issues that we feel are important. We invite faculty, staff, and students to share this opportunity to think about peace in lecture, discussion, and worship settings. The events scheduled are intended to help the Augsburg community in responsi— bly making decisions about and forming a response to the presented issues. Though Peace Week will focus primarily on the global situation, we should not forget that achieving peace within our own country and even within ourselves, is equally important. Let Peace Week be a time when we think not only about working to secure peace internationally, but, domestical- ly and individually as well. We hope you will be able to participate in Peace Week events. Look for specific times and dates in the current "Update" and on posters located around campus. deeper into the music. It forces you to really know it and i think it helps you to play better." Bleifus added that talking a memorization for musicians class from Jim Johnson during interim was excellent preparation. “It helped to reinforce my memorization," he said, and recommended the course highly. Bleifus thinks recitals are important for a musician because they grow musically by preparing and presenting them. He added, "The music faculty also gives recitals to help keep their music from stagnating, lt's important for musicians to keep using their music." Bleifus says his advice to people giving recitals is, “have fun, make music and look at it as your chance to be a star.“ So what is all this getting at? Simply an invitation to broaden horizons and say there‘s more going on in Sateren Auditorium than on occasional movie. Recitals are scheduled many nights of the week at this time of year with faculty recitals on Sunday nights. Hegre said. “Sateren is the perfect placed for recitals. Everyone is close enough to the stage so that it feels cozy. The seats are even comfortable!" Recitals are free and for the fortunate, sometimes even punch and cookies are served afterward. Jim Johnson concluded, saying that recitals are all about “sharing talents and uplifting the world with beauty." Listening to the second movement of Hegre‘s Chopin concerto he spoke of the value of recitals to both performer and audience. He said. “You can‘t play that and not be a better person. You can't hear it and not be a better person." 7th & CEDAR WEST BANK K CMR calendar Monday 12:00 p.m.: Halverson‘s 440 4 hours of Top 40 music with Bill Halverson 6:00 p.m.: Jill Beck‘s Monday Show Tuesday 4:00 p.m.: Classic Rock with Kim Heatley Wednesday 4:00 p.m.: Scott Henderson Henderson‘s Wednesday Thursday 4:00 p.m.: Luverne Seifert Luverne in the Afternoon 9:00 p.m.: Progressive Rock Friday 6:00 p.m.: Jill Beck‘s Free~for-a|l Hard Rock to end the week Pitcher Nights at Pilot’s Club Pabst & Schmidt . . . . . $1.50 Tues. and Thurs. —- 9-11 PM.
