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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Play was sloppy by both teams. Julie Reinke brought Augsburg back into the game on strong center hits which St. Kate‘s was unable to defense.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We won't have enough to give a salary increase." Anderson said.

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

Grinde. the nucleus of the Auggie defense. suffered torn ligaments and Will be out for the rest of the season. Late in the first quarter another Auggie fumble on their own 5-yard line set the stage for St. John‘s second touchdown. Gagliard plunged over the middle from 1-yard out with no time remaining The conversion was good making it 14-0. In the second quarter the defensive Vo/leyba/lers have tough week By LAURIE JESSEN On Monday, Oct. 8. Augsburg‘s womens‘ volleyball team was defeated by Carleton 3 games to 1. winning the first 15-11. and losing the next three 15—12. 15-11. and 15-8. On Thursday. Oct. 11. the Auggies bounced back to defeat Hamline in three straight games 15-4. 15-6. and 15—8. The team travelled to Lamoni, Iowa to participate in round robin tournament play on Oct. 12 and 13. They lost their first two games to Western Illinois by scores of 15—8 and 15-14. In second round play, they faced the University of Missouri- Kansas City losing the first game 15-8 and Winning the second 9-7 in 15 minutes running time. They split two games with Maycrest. losing the first 158 and then Winning 15-12 in the second. Augsburg took two games units started hitting hard. A total of six players were walked or carried off the field—most of them St. John's players. Just as the Johnnies homecoming program stated, it seemed as though the game might turn out to be a rout, but Augsburg had other ideas as Steve Rosvold recovered a St. John‘s fumble. Yeazle came in and marched the offense 35-yards in 10 plays culmin- ating with a quarterback keeper up the middle. The PAT was missed leaving the score 14-6 at the end of the half. In the third quarter the Johnnies marched 79-yards in 12 plays. McCullen raced into the end zone from 8-yards out and the conversion was good extending St. John's lead to 21-6. St. John‘s struck again with 1:34 left in the third quarter as Bell danced into the end zone from 24-yards out. The extra point was missed. Early in the fourth quarter a scrambling Yeazle managed to get off a long pass to Severson for a touchdown but the play was nullified by a holding penalty. But the Auggies didn't give—in. Yeazle, Dan Roff and “company” were determined to make the game respectable. The Auggies marched 82-yards in 11 plays and scored on an alert fumble recovery by Mike Dick as a Yeazle to Barry Toston hand-off was never grasped. Yeazle hit Redetzke for the two point conversion leaving the score 28—14 with 1:07 left to play. Augsburg tried an on-side kick but St. John's recovered it as time ran out. J.V. football dominates Augsburg‘s Junior Varsity Football Team ran their record to 2—0 last Monday with a 22-0 rout over the Gustavus J.V. team. Earlier in the season they defeated St. Olaf 14-0 at Northfield. On Monday, Oct. 15, they play at Bethel and the following Monday will take on Hamline at Hamline. /ntramura/s touch football summary This year the Augsburg Intramurals Touch Football League consisted of 12 teams. Competition was tough with the upperclassmen teams usually coming out ahead in the winners column. Each team played at least four games and then was seeded to play a single elimination tournament to de- termine the I.M. Champs. The 1979~80 champs for Touch Football are the Sewer Suckers who defeated Zeta 13-12 in sudden death. Playing for the Sewer Suckers were: Captain Randy Gort, Todd Hugstad, Brad Brewster, Randy Meyer, Dennis Stockmo Mike Schwartz. Tim Kidder. from J.C.

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

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

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

But, somebody always plays the game a little better than somebody else. So we make up some rules to make the gamea little “fairer.” But, at what price? if I tell you that you can't do something i have to tell myself the same thing. I‘m not so sure a majority of Americans. a majority of humanity in fact, is willing to accept "limited freedom." Our forefathers saw that freedom breeds tyranny. So one of the things they did was set up a federal system— checks and balances to keep a watchful eye on power. But I don‘t think “life, liberty and MMoRIAL HALL Tu: NEXT STEP: LET THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMEN'r pun. Know Just now You FEEL! it was Shakespeare who once wrote, _ A. poul kilqorc “Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.“ I've always believed that the few who‘ve attained greatness have been able to do so because the circumstances happened to be right, They were in the right place at the right time. Who would have ever heard of Jerry Ford, for instance, if all of Washington hadn't gone corrupt while he was honestly plodding through his chores as House Minority Leader? Or how many of us would know Neil Armstrong if he had joined NASA a few years later and thus lost his chance to be the first on the moon? The same sort of thing holds true for Warren Hawkins, a student who walked into circumstances unique enough to catapult him to greatness. Warren Hawkins. as we all know, is the owner of the name which has been inscribed on virtually every desk, chair, and bathroom wall at Augsburg College. Warren was a student here, and graduated with a physics major in the mid-70's. So much for the facts. Beyond this, the story of Warren Hawkins takes on the characteristics of a myth— the best-known myth, in fact, that this school has. I have heard two stories as to how Warren became famous. One states that he somehow got a few of his “friends” angry, and that they decided to get even by scratching his name on every inanimate object on campus, The other story, which I prefer to believe, says that Warren was a shy, introverted student who stayed upstairs and studied on Friday nights while his friends had their weekly house parties. At one such party, Warren's friends, sympathetic toward their lonely roomie, decided to make him famous. The following Monday they marched into Old Main armed with pens and jackknives. It wasn’t long before Warren's friends, bored with simply writing his name, moved on to higher literary forms. “Warren Hawkins' mother wears army boots" is an early example of this new form, and we can date it circa 1975. Other examples include the political “Impeach Warren Hawkins" and the gem of the post-graduate period, “Warren Hawkins is alive and well and lowering property values in Duluth." The Warren Hawkins myth has since spread. It hit print last year when the Echo suggested that the music building be named Warren Hawkins Hall. I‘ve heard that Augsburg students have seen Warren's name written on motel walls in Florida. And my cousin, who spent last fall in Europe, assures me that Warren Hawkins now adorns a bathroom wall at the Basilica. There are, I am told, a whole flock of Warren Hawkins stories now circulating. One says that Warren once broke his leg after falling from a suburban water tower. What was he doing climbing a w on the side of the tank, of course. I don' it's just another example of what can ater tower?

I don't think they wanted us to set up a system (bureacracy, if you will) of rules and regulations to limit freedom to a pseudo-decisional state. I believe they felt we could understand for ourselves the limits of freedom—no limit. True, they ruled out such things as murder and theft, but they didn‘t rule out freedom. You can‘t look at the founding of this nation as an occurence in a vacuum, You must keep in mind that these men were born out of a Protestant-oriented society. They couldn‘t help but base some of their decisions on their own moral make-up. More importantly though, they were trying to create a place of sell-determinism—a realization of the power of tolerance. Who am I to talk to kings? lam simply a man. As men I’m sure they see that.

On Oct. 11, however, KSTP-TV‘s anchorman, Ron Magers, was at Augsburg speaking to a Communication class. Magers appeared wearing a V-neck shirt, faded blue jeans, and pointed, shiny light—brown cowboy boots. His hair had a cowlick on the right side and a rash-type-mark was visible on his right cheek. All of this, of course, was a contrast to the suited, blow-dried, made-up Fton Magers one sees in advertisements or on newscasts. With coffee in hand and boot propped on the portable “box stage," Magers spoke about the problem of objectivity in newscasting. He stated that simply in the way people perceive things insures that there will be a bias towards the news. He added that most stories are multi—facited concluding, “The most difficult bias we have to contend with is yours.” One of the listeners questioned Magers about the competition between networks at the local and national level, expressing his concern about By CHRIS HALVORSON Assistant Editor The Augsburg College ice arena has been the subject of controversy since it was built in 1974. The $1,600,000 building has been operating in the “red,” losing money for the college, rather than supporting itself or providing any profit for the school. “Part of the problem is that it was envisioned that the ice arena would make money to support the athletic department, based on a feasibility study done before it was built. This did not turn out in the first years (of operation)," said Wayne Pederson, vice-president of finance. “it (the study) was wrong, period. During the time we built it, there were also Under the management of James [J.C.] Cary the ice arena is decreasing its net shortfall. iECHO Pholn Dt ENC Jordanl Anchorman Fion Magers leans back and talks “news.

In response Magers explained that the news itself doesn't suffer from ’lts come a long way from the beginning’ Ice Arena shortfall may hit $78,000 next year several others built at the same time in the area, which changed the demand," Pederson added. Last year, the ice arena had a net shortfall of $70,000, though it was budgeted for a $100,000 shortfall, according to Pederson. In 1976-77, the net loss was $147000. Pederson explained this difference as due to the new programs estalished at the ice arena during the last few years. The arena switched from allowing a large amount of "open skating" time, which Pederson said did not produce users or money, to scheduling a variety of different programs. The arena is now the home of the St. Paul Figure Skating Club. which uses it 12 months of the year. Carey, who has been manager of the rink for three years and was assistant manager when it opened, explained that the arena is also used by the MIAC, the Minneapolis high school hockey conferences, some tri-metro conferences, youth hockey and the Twin Cities Development League. ice time is sold to each of these programs, although Augsburg's intramural or- ganizations, and hockey team use is free. Open skating is also available free to students from 11 am. to 1 pm. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Carey said that free and low cost skating was offered more to students in the past but only earned about $2.75 competition because it is the sales departments that are competing. He added that broadcasts never go deep with an issue and “to say that they do is prima facie ludicrous." Another student stated that it seemed as though Channel Five took the “number one" position immedi- ately after Magers assumed the anchorman duties. “We got a lot of press when I started," Magers replied. He con- tinued explaining that one of WCCO's biggest mistakes was to react to the situation (Le. by changing their programming style) because this automatically said to the viewer that they were “number two." Magers thinks the viewer benefits from this rivalry because programming quality improves. This statement led to another question concerningthehigh quality of news broadcast in the Twin Cities. Magers answered that “We are not better or worse than any place else." Recently, Magers returned from Iowa where the Pope visited. He reflected about an interview he had with a bishop—“He was a first-time guy and he started to ramble." Magers kept on trying to cut him off in " order to direct the interview before the an hour for the arena. "We sold the ice to increase the revenue," Carey said. In addition to the financial benefits. the additional programs offer a unique way of getting a lot of publicity for the college, according to Pederson. A task force of faculty did research on the arena that showed a significant impact on enrollment as a result of arena operations. aside from the benefits to the Augsburg hockey team. “The faculty have wrapped their arms around it (the arena) and said ‘Yes, we do need this!’," Pederson said. “I saw it as a tool for drawing kids to Augsburg because of its exposure on T.V., radio and because of the number of kids passing through," Carey said. “We get about 3000 kids coming through during every tournament in the boilding.

Magers also explained his daily routine, “The bulk of our work is done in the early afternoon.“ He arrives at the station by 5:30 pm. At 5:45 pm, he reads through the script; the script is edited and Magers reads it again for stylistic changes. At 6:00 pm. (fifteen minutes after his script reading). he is ready. Born in San Bernadino, California, Magers lived in Alaska for several years until his family moved to Washington where he attended high school on an Indian reservation in Toppenish. It all started at the Wapato Harvest Festival in Toppenish when Magers was 16. A friend of his who worked as an announcer for radio station KENE wanted to take a break. Ron agreed to take the mike and has been on the airwaves ever since. Following graduation. Magers worked as a disc jockey for several radio stations in the Northwest. At the age of 22 he went to work for his first television station, KEZl-TV in Eugene. Oregon where he did general assignment reporting and eventually worked his way up to anchorman and news director.

The bond will be paid out of the general college budget, according to Pederson. Even though the net cost equity is at $200,000, Pederson said that this capitalized value is less than the building is really worth because of the increasing value of the building and the 10-12 percent annual land appreciation. “it is an educational building.

The CPC is Augsburg's major planning organization and recom— mending body, according to President Oscar Anderson The committee. comprised of students, faculty and administrators. is chosen on the recommendation of Anderson. Long—range and short-range plans for the college are the CPC's major concerns. According to Wayne Pederson, vice president for finance, the CPC functions in two “crucial” ways. First, it reviews the goals and objectives of the college while setting into context what happens in various departments. Second, the committee approves a set of plans that shape initiatives which, in time, shape departmental budgets. As a result, “the planning process drives the budget," Pederson emphasized. Another CPC member, Marianne Sander, vice president of student affairs, said the committee “is very important because it gives more people the opportunity to influence the direction of the institution and allows all groups representation." During the past five years the CPC's planning has revolved around direct- Auggie given top priority in Public Relations By PENNY BECKER News Editor Mid~term has arrived, but the 1979~80 Auggie has not. Student directories are not yet available at other area colleges, but students at Hamline, Macalester, St. Thomas and St. Catherine expect their's any day. Augsburg students must wait until mid-November. The new PBX phone system was blamed for the delay because students did not have extension numbers at registration. A master list of student phone numbers had to be compiled. “The phone company has been switching some of the lines," said Mary Thorstad, a student intern working on the Auggie. “That has been our most recent delay." Thorstad cited several other reasons for this year‘s delay. "No record of staff and faculty was kept," said Thorstad. “The person who usually did it quit working for Augsburg this summer and everyone thought someone else was doing a list." It was not discovered until very recently that a master list of faculty and staff did not exist. Augsburg students have also :ontributed to the lateness of the Auggie. “Students write illegibly on the cards at registration and then they blame us for errors in the book." Illegible signatures slow down the typing process. adding to the delay. Student numbers will not be included in the ‘79-'80 Auggie. “We could see no reason for them to be included," said Thorstad. “People who need student numbers should have other access to them and people could look up grades too easily." The Auggie will sport a new format this year. Although this has slowed production, Thorstad hoped the changes will make it more readable and easrer to use. Larger pictures will be used and names will be underlined. Student response for pictures was good; two call-back days for pictures were given. Thorstad has been working with the registrar to get all late students included in the Auggie this year. In the past many late—comers did not appear in the Auggie. The Auggie has become a top priority in the Public Relations department now that Homecoming is past. “Lois Wollen‘s (PP. Director) first concern was homecoming, but now it’s the Auggie," said Thorstad. "It should come out in mid»Novem- ber." misﬁ— The new phone number for the College Center Desk is 330-1767.

Presently, the CPC is sending out the '80-‘81 initiative areas enabling various departments to review and establish priority areas. These initia- tive areas will have to be "pared" before the budgeting process starts, explained Sander. For the year ahead, faculty salary levels will be one of the major concerns of the CPC, explained Sander. “The faculty feel very strongly about the total percentage of the budget that is allocated for academic programming," she said.

Show moreMayoral candidates to face each other in College Center By TEDD PETERSON Associate Editor The five candidates for mayor of Minneapolis will participate in an open forum in the Augsburg College Center on Friday, Oct. 26 beginning at 1:00 pm. The candidates are Mike Barros (IR), Don Fraser (DFL), Charles Stenvig, Tom McDonald (both in- dependents), and Gayle Swann (Socialist Workers Party). The general election will be held on Nov. 6. The contest is commonly referred to as a "three-way race." Although McDonald and Swann will appear on the ballot, they have virtually no chance of winning. At this point DFLer Don Fraser has the best chance of winning. Stenvig said that Fraser is the “man to beat." A major reason for this is the traditionally heavy DFL support in Minneapolis. In the primary election on Tuesday, Sept. 11, Fraser supporters cast 40,604 votes. Barros got 6,360. Stenvig was not in the primary. Fraser also can afford a more expensive campaign than any of the other candidates. His 16 years in Congress built up a large following which enabled him to spend over $100,000 in the primary campaign alone. Barros spent just over $20,000 in his primary campaign, and Stenvig, while not in the primary, says that he has never spent more than $40,000 in any election. He recently secured a $10,000 loan for his campaign by placing a second mortgage on his home. This is Stenvig‘s sixth mayoral race. He was mayor from 1970 to 1974 and from 1976 to 1978. The major reason that Barros can’t raise the funds that Fraser can is the pessimistic lack of interest in local elections on the part of the Independent-Republican party. Minneapolis has not elected a Republican mayor for 20 years. Another reason is that Barros was until this fall virtually unknown in political circles. According to Barros, the major issues in the campaign are ridding the police force of politics and the ever- increasing housing shortage. He emphasizes the slowing down of the wide-spread conversion of apartments in condominiums. Fraser agrees that these are the most important issues, and adds economic development and lower property taxes to the list. His literature states, “More affordable housing for families will be my number one priority." Stenvig, who has been on the police force for 23 years, believes that the “politics in the police department“ issue has been overemphasized, and feels that equal law enforcement for all is a more important issue. Other important issues according to Stenvig have to “pay rent" on your table or booth by ordering a big dinner, or something elaborate. a good cup of coffee.

Taxes are also an important issue for the Socialist Workers’ candidate Gayle Swarm, who believes that those who earn less than $30,000 a year should pay no property or income taxes, and all income above $50,000 should be taxed 100 per cent. Swann also calls for the immediate removal of US. troops in Guantanamo. This is Tom McDonald's third mayoral campaign. He has never gotten more than two percent of the vote. However, he could have a more significant effect on this election by pulling supporters away from one or even two of the major candidates. Stenvig said, "If it's a close election. and it could be, Tom might make the difference." The mum/hr; TIM Fae; 'un'r LDOK H515, 7H: 30~515 ,N VOL”; HAND/i Nicollet restaurant naturally better By GARY KUBAT Features Editor Perhaps you've already discovered the bigger taste of Zantigo's, assured your mother that you're eating right at Arby’s, or proclaimed, via song and dance, that Burger King has “the best darn burger in the whole wide world" and “nobody can do it like McDonald's can.“ But like all things that move fast, there is a risk involved of tiring easily. Fast food is no exception. Natural/y on the Mall, located at 920 Nicollet, provides quick relief to the fast food blahs. As one enters the restaurant, it is quite apparent this is not your basic "Golden Arches.“ There is no long, stainless steel counter with coordin- ating straw and napkin dispensers adorned with ketchup and chocolate malt finger prints. There is no fluorescent menu descending from above and no smiling teenage girls in bright green-striped uniforms taking your order while simultaneously shouting, “Five Mac up!“ Absent is the sound of the deep-fry cooker beeping, signaling the end of the french fries' oil bath. instead, you are greeted while you look at the menu pasted on the wall. Breakfast fare includes granola and cheese omlettes. But the real speciality is the sandwiches. One can choose from egg salad, cheese and tomato, tuna and tomato, and roast beef (with at least twice as much as Arby's puts on their sandwiches). Each sandwich is served on fresh nine-grain bread with iceberg and romain lettuce and a generous amount of bean sprouts. The nearly four inch high sandwiches are garnished with a pickle spear. Other lunch-dinner menu items are salads, soups, and a fruit-cheese bowl that has large slices of fresh fruits and cheese. Beverage choices include natural fruit juices, yogurt shakes, or pop. The pop, however, is not the ordinary soda available at other restaurants. It is made with real fruit juice, cola beans, or sassafras, carbonated water, sweetened with honey or fructose (natural fruit sugar), and fortified with vitamins. Although it lacks the bright color of its artificial twin (no artificial color, flavor, or preservatives are added), it tastes just as good if not better. But no matter what you order, it is served in the same amount of time as it takes those pubescent girls to serve you. Deciding‘ to eat there (take—out is available also), you take your tray to one of the butchervblock tables with wooden chairs. The chairs can actually be pushed in closer to the table, unlike those that are on poles attached to the table base providing a gap of two feet between you the the table—an excellent escape route for “AWOL” lettuce, tomatoes, and ketchup. A counter with stools is also available. There are no little packets of salt and pepper, empty fruit juice bottles with holes punched in the covers serve as dispensers. Natural/y on the Mall also carries natural vitamins and food supple— ments, books on better health, a limited amount of health foods such as ketchup and preserves made with honey instead of sugar, cereals, and herb teas. They also carry personal care items like Sea Kelp Facial Scrub and Jojoba Bean Shampoo. Perhaps the only problem with Natural/y an the Mall (NOM) is its limited space which makes peak hours a cozy experience. But making NOM bigger would probably strip it of its unique character. Economically. fast food wins but by a narrow margin. Nutritionally. there is no contest. Naturally an the Mall is open Monday through Friday 8:30 am. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday 10:30 am. until 5:00 pm. 3

Show more{DOpr SUfQC’Dfu By LEW HOTCHKISS Intelligence sources at Augsburg College reported to me last week that educational spies have been found planted in the student body. Sources report that five or six students are suspected of leaking educational secrets to small colleges throughout the world and that use of the secrets could cause a “large decline in student enrollment next year due to superior food services at other colleges." Other secrets said to have leaked out were related to remodeling and building plans, use of thermonuclear devices to heat college housing, elimination of all full— time secretaries, and the use of the college radio station (KCMR) as a major source of on-campus propaganda. Besides reducing next year’s student body, the effects of the leaks are predicted to be mild. “After all," the Augsburg Intelligence Officer (AIO) said, “anything we may know, everyone else (rival colleges) has probably already filed in the proper place." When asked what that proper place was, he refused to comment. “Another thing," the NO said, “we have more moles (spy term for ‘spies') at other colleges than anyone else does. Everyone calls us the KGB of small colleges. If it wasn't for us, they wouldn't have any students." When asked why this was the case, he responded, “Every year we lose about thirty per cent of our freshman class. On their way out, all are debriefed, and program-trained to act as full-fledged spies for our Network. When they get to their new colleges the information starts pouring in. It is quite impressive to see a spy machine working so well." He was asked what was done with the clandestine information. “We convert it into coded material usable on the Apple II. Some people think that those fun little games they play for psychology are invented by Dr. Marken, but we know better." The AIO officer revealed other secrets that were of an inflammatory nature, but requested that they not show up in print. “If they do,“ the AIO said, “you will find yourself with an amazing change in GPA."

They're plowed and disced, leaving a level expanse of black earth with apparently nothing more to yield. Except, maybe, some knowledge about where man has been and might be going. It‘s been 12,000 years since the first plowed field came into existence in a time that you can feel very far removed from. But they were then the first steps of mankind toward a better future. Climatic changes had dried out many major hunting grounds around the world, and men. who had been predators since the dawn of time. could read the writing on the cave wall; they were just bleached bones drying in the sun if they didn‘t find a better way to live. So they left the scorched grazing lands for the thin green belts of various river basins where, in time, man would learn what might now seem the simple technique of plowing. But upon this all civilization was built—for a plowed field yields not only food, but also the security of a tomorrow. And today, at Augsburg, a lot of us find ourselves to be slowly starving hunters of sorts, with no empty fields to turn to. It happens all too often to me. You’ll find yourself in what can only be described as a “What the Hell?" frame of mind—one that can occur at any time. As you blankly stare at a blackboard full of formulas and derivatives, or when you read the front page about where civilization is heading now, or even as you gaze at stars from a music-filled dorm room, you become a bewildered hunter, questioning purpose and feeling removed from reality. lhis seems to me the absurdity of life. | find no immediate cause worthy of my youth and strength, so I try to forget them. But the answers for all of us lay buried in those plowed fields. You pick your crop by the seed, but with the spring planting you still can't know what the fall harvest will be, just as they didn't know 12.000 years ago that their planted seeds might someday produce the world we have now. They would have certainly seen wisdom in the words of a man called Jesus Christ, who sowed his own crop as he spoke of seeds that fell along the wayside, on rocky ground, or among thistles. And there were seeds that fell into good soil. bearing fruit and yielding a hundredfold. The seeds of knowledge we put in our minds at Augsburg are rather tricky things. Too often their scope is limited, to a job and work and nothing more. blinding us as simple bewildered hunters of the future we can be a part of. We must plant our seeds today lor the harvest we and our children Will reap tomorrow, remembering that time is our enemy and seeks to blind us. The killing frost will come all too early in the fall. And it is, as always, the~dawn of a new day down on the farm.

In spite of a slow start. Augsburg won 35-6. According to Coach Al Kloppen. the team was under a lot of pressure from critics and the media. who said this was Macalester‘s chance to finally win a game after 49 straight losses. Augsburg's Steve Yeazle scored first on a quarterback bootleg to the right from seven yards out with 4:03 left in the first quarter. The kick was wide to the right. and the score was 6-0 Augsburg. The Augsburg defense then forced Macalester to punt. Yeazle marched the offense down the field again. and after a display of Tarkenton-type scrambling. hit Rick Redetzke with a 17-yard touchdown toss with 11:52 left in the half. The extra point was again no good with the score 12-0. Macalester, smelling an upset. didn‘t give up. They came right back and scored with 5:36 left when freshman quarterback Ron Knoche hit wide receiver Tim Murray for a 17»yard touchdown.

Macalester moved the ball down to thet yard line fumbling it away just short of the goal line. Augsburg defensive end Pete Jackson recovered. Augsburg took over possession and marched 99 yards down the field. where Yeazle scored on a quarterback dive from the one with 2:03 left in the third quarter. Again the extra point failed. Augsburg seemed to be picking up momentum. and scored again with less than a minute left on a Roger Schwartz 31-yard field goal. making the score 21-6. Just as the Auggies seemed to have taken control. the offense turned cold until Yeazle hit tight end Mike Dick on a touchdown pass With 9:49 remaining in the game. Augsburg converted the extra point and extended the lead. 28-6. Augsburg struck again late in the game when reserve quarterback Jerry Ouam scored on a sweep around left end with 47 seconds remaining.

Augsburg battled to a 1-0 victory over a tough St. Olaf soccer team. The wind was a big factor in the game as both teams took advantage of the element to try and score. The first half was fought to a draw. with several good shots coming from the Ole's forward line. Alert play by goalie Mark Spikers sweep DM LC 8y LAURIE JESSEN In keeping with the winning spirit of Homecoming. the womens' volleyball team defeated Dr. Martin Luther College in three straight games on Thursday. Oct. 4. The first game of the match began with the two teams playing evenly. Both sides had their share of good net play and saves. Augsburg had chances to pull ahead by putting DMLC on defense. but failed because their spikes were landing outside the court. DMLC began setting more consistent blocks into which Augsburg hit to bring the score to a 9-9 tie. The teams continued even play when timely dinks and strong spiking gave Augsburg a 15-13 win. The Auggies had their problems in the beginning of the second game. They continued to have trouble with DMLC blocks and were unable to read the defense. Their serving became inconsistent. Then the Auggies. sparked by hustling saves and improved spiking. began to pull away. The momentum of the game remained with Augsburg and they won by a score of 15-7. Captain Dana Holmes said after the match. “We're slowly but surely improving. We‘re getting it together." That is exactly what Augsburg did in the final game. “got it together." The Auggies dominated the net with all-around strong spiking. Setter Dana Holmes utilized all of her hitters to bring Augsburg to an 8-4 lead. Strong hits by Deb Thompson and consistent serving by Dana Holmes helped Augsburg take the third game by a score of 15-4 and thus the match. Anderson turned away all St. Olaf attempts. The second half saw several sub- stitutions from both benches. Approxi- mately five minutes into the second half. from ten yards out of the penalty area. Augsburg co-captaln Jerry Jackson and midfielder Kevin Oss combined to put in a foul shot that proved to be the winning goal. Oss' shot curved around the defensive wall. fooling the goalie and ending up in the net. Saturday. Augsburg traveled to St. Cloud to take on the Johnnies. The final result was a 3-0 loss for the Auggies. It is hard to pin-point a certain reason when asking why the team has not been able to find the top of the league. A factor to be considered would be the inability to score. A loss of key players to the soccer team may be a major factor. along with the new formations and new players which have been added.
