Lise Houlton and Patrick Bissell danced the pas de deux with mastery. and the entire piece was one that sent shivers up the spine. "Knoxville: Summer of 1915" was another of Loyce Houlton‘s ballets which enchanted the audience. as it has since 1975. “Knoxville” is the "Our Town" of dance. as it interprets the sensitive mood of a prose reverie of poet James Agee's childhood home. The music by Samuel Barber suited the poetry well and created the dreams and memories of a childhood rich in fantasy and feeling. Debussy's “Prelude a I'apres midi d'un Faun" was the second perform- ance of the concert by Lise Houlton and Patrick Bissell. A contemporary interpretation of this piece showed a surrealistic studio and an encounter Minnesota Dance Theater between two dancers. The audience decided whether the confrontation was real or imagined. The gala was concluded with "Mythical Hunters.“ choreographed for the MDT by Glen Tetley in Italy during the summer of 1971. The ballet was set to Partos' “Visions” and included the combined talents of the company and Lise Houlton. The MDT is appearing at the Orpheum again this season and future performances will doubtlesst be as fine as the gala. March 28-29 will be the spring kickoff. with the presenta- tions of Loyce Houlton‘s "Horseplay" and Eugene Loring's “Billy the Kid." “Beauty and the Beast" will be performed Apr. 25-26. and May 9-10 is the return of "The Crumb Fesitval." a work acclaimed by local critics and illustrating the depth of the company. Walker Art Center: gallery for non-traditional By LORI JOHNSON Staff Writer The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis is a major resource for contemporary art in our area. The contents as well as the building itself make important statements regarding the art and culture of this century. Though not in its original building. the Walker has been exhibiting art for 100 years. It began when L.T.B. Walker opened a wing of his house for the public to view his collection of modern art. When the collection outgrew his home he constructed an elaborate building at the Walker's present Site. It was eventually replaced by the current Walker Art Center. According to Kathe Stanton at the Walker. its art collection consists of modern works which “present an overview of most 20th century styles." Currently featured at the Walker is an exhibit entitled “Eight Artists: The Elusive Image." Stanton says they represent the "thin line between illusion and reality through paintings. sculpture. photography and architec- ture." In February the Walker will host the first exhibit of Pablo Picasso's cubist works outSIde of France. This will be one of two sites for the exhibit. The other is New York City. However. the Walker is more than simply an art gallery. It sponsors a variety of experiences in other branches of modernism. such as dance. mu5ic. film and literature. It is a center providing non-traditional art forms a place for expression. For example. tonight is a treat for cartoon fans. Director-animator Bob Clampett will introduce and discuss a program of some of his best creations for Warner Brothers. starring Porkey Pig. Bugs Bunny and Tweety and Sylvester. The show begins at 8 pm. On Monday. Oct. 15, literary critic Hugh Kenner will speak in conjunction with a series of lectures on con- temporary art. Kenner has been described as America‘s foremost modern critic. dealing with such writers as Ezra Pound. Samuel Beckett and TS. Eliot. This lecture series is part of a unique education program in the “Meanings of Modernism" for which several colleges in the Twin Cities are giving credit. Further information on up-and- coming events at the Walker can be found in the entertainment or art sections of various metropolitan newspapers and magazines. Transportation to the Walker Art Center is no obstacle. Take a #7 or a #8 bus to Hennepin Ave. and transfer to any southbound bus and get off at Vineland Place. The center also has a restaurant and a bookstore. The Walker is open from 10 am. to 8 pm. Tuesday through Saturday and from 11 am. to 5 pm. on Sundays. It is always closed Mondays. ineligide CJﬂoriigt “THE WEDDING PLACE“ Michael A.

Show moreeditorials A matter of responsibility Augsburg's Augsburg/an and St. Olaf's Viking are yearbooks published by the same company, Taylor, in Dallas, Texas. That is about all the farther a parallel can be drawn. Even though the delayed delivery of the Viking caused some turmoil at St. Olaf the problem subsided when the yearbook was delivered at the end of last week, Augsburg students are still waiting for the Augsburg/an, and Taylor Publishing can't take the blame. The delay of the Augsburg/an is not. repeat, not. the fault of this year's editor or staff. On the contrary. this year's editor should be commended for trying to salvage last year‘s Augsburg/an. This added responsibility could easily have been refused and, with due respect for this year's editor, it should have been. The notion of “picking up where another administration left off“ has been considered. But in this case, even though yearbook pages were lost in the mail, it was still the responsibility of the ‘78-'79 Augsburgian editor to finish the product that will bear her name as editor-in-chief. An extension of a term paper is acceptable, or failure to hand one in is, well . . . whatever. But the lack of responsibility in this case is a different matter. The Augsburg/an editor is a salaried position and delivery of the final product to students is what the salary encompasses. Action by last year's editor was taken when pages were discovered missing. but the problem was never followed through. However, lost pages are not the only thing that has delayed the yearbook. The entire Augsburg/an production process was administered poorly last year. The idea herein is not to harp on a moot issue. Rather, this year's student executives should learn from the Augsburgian affair that close monitoring of all commissions is vital, and when administrations turn—over in the spring the incoming officers should be briefed thoroughly on the status of the commissions. Auggies late again Homecoming is a time of year of many traditions. However. some traditions are ready to be broken. In recent years the Auggie (the campus directory) has been ready by fall mid-term at best. This year it might be ready by mid-November. This is poor. Granted, a new phone system requiring total re-numbering of extensions was installed at a very untimely date. Regardless, distribution of a campus directory nearly half way through the academic calendar is quite inadequate. If an incomplete Auggie (one without all the telephone extensions) would have come out a couple weeks ago, then the lack of a switchboard operator after 4:30 pm. might have been justifiable because people would have then had something to write extensions in. Instead, people have devised their own makeshift directories, lacking. of course. the luxury of “Checking-out" who‘s who around campus. We recommend that the Auggie, completed or not, be printed forthright so that the $3.75 charge is not totally irremissible. 4 AND Now... 5L\Gl—lT ADDlTloN To AUGSBURG’S Mom-.... or,“what is ’milk'!" by 7- ﬂak“ ‘l‘HRoueH 'l'RtXl‘l-lﬁ'l'o FREEDOM __.§To TRUTH. , I I ’ I ’l .. 111171;” 1' 111111412!“ 7, letters Altering the capitalistic system To The Editor, I would like to offer my support to Mary Beamish as she continues her struggle to come to grips with "American Imperialism" (Echo "Soundings." Sept. 28, 1979). After reading her observations about America's overwhelming influence in Mexico, my own belief regarding the necessity to halt our country's profit- motivated interference (under the guise of “good will") in third world nations was reaffirmed. Our immersion in American culture is so great that it is difficult to realize the full impact of imperialism until we can see or live in a country such as Mexico that is suffering from its effects. I would like to commend Augsburg College for providing an avenue by which students can be awakened to the virtual strangle hold the United States has on so many nations and peoples. I can only hope that students who participate in such programs have the awareness of Mary and will work to alter our capitalist system. Sincerely, Mary Deering Class of ’81 In hopes of enlightenment Dear Mr. and Mr. Editor, We deliberated for several hours on this letter. because there was really no one person worthy of a personal attack by our scurrilous pen. We persevered, however, and collected our thoughts for this glorious column. One Mork received quite a bit of print in last week‘s promulgation. Why any Orkan should deserve this dubious honor is bewildering. We thought that one half-hour a week would be enough for this Mork. but apparently not, One thing that bothered us was the writer‘s constant referral to Mork as “she.” We were led to believe that this Orkan was a “he,” but once again we are shown to be idiots. because what appears in print in this great paper we take as absolute truth, not irrelevant fiction. We put forth this query: Does this Mork ride in her jeep seated upon her head and say mindless things such as “Nanoo, Nanoo’?" We would like to congratulate Mrs. Pete on her award, having read of it in both a major newspaper and also in the Echo. It seems that last Friday she was in the news as much as the Pope was, showing that Lutherans can be newsmakers also. The only thing we wanted to comment on was her being disgusted With a whole wall of urinals. Now, we see no reason to slander the name of a dormitory at Augsburg. This dormitory is something that is needed badly and just because the name is objectionable is no reason for mention- ing it. If she is disgusted at a wall, let her be, but please, do not print it. We think also that Augsburg should take note of the Earth-sheltered homes. This is something that could be done here; parking lots could be built above them, and then old hippies could inhabit them like moles living underground. We hope this letter will enlighten many and be of value in Augsburg's history. Hugs and Historic Kisses, Tony Moen and Lee Hansen Editor‘s Note: We‘re sure it will. Letters and Opinions Welcome Letters and opinion articles should be typed. double-spaced and sub- mitted one week in advance of publication. All letters and opinions must be signed, and sent to: Augsburg College Echo, Minneapolis, MN 55454. The editor reserves the right to edit all letters and reject them if necessary. Ocl.12,1979

Former Augsburg Registrar and the current Director of the Scandinavian Area Studies Program, Mildred Joel, spoke on "Plans for Scandinavian Studies at Augsburg." According to Joel the program has an interdisciplin- ary emphasis encompassing history, art, music, foreign languages and urban affairs. Traditionally the program has received funding from private sources, but this year it received two “generous grants"—17,700 kroner—from the Norwegian Government and $42,120 from the U.S. Government.

Chilstrom, President of the Minnesota Synod of the Lutheran Church of America, cautioned, in jest, against too much speculation into the 80‘s. He related a story about a well respected commission that was formed in the late 60‘s whose responsibility was to speculate on the issues in the 70's. They failed to forecast: the women‘s movement. care and rights of the aging. abortion, inflation and energy. “Well, in spite of their obvious failure to anticipate the 70‘s,“ said Chilstrom.

Show moreougsburg . confessmns Education in the liberal arts tradition is intended to foster the critical faculty, the ability to ascertain both the negative and positive aspects of a given situation or thing. It involves developing the sense which detects whether something is of value, without worth. or in between. In short, the education provided at Augsburg aims at producing persons with the ability to make critical judgments. Now, turnabout is fair play, Augsburg and all other in- stitutions of higher education should be able to accept the exercise of the critical factor when they are under scrutiny by the very society we seek to enhance. Recently the Carnegie Council on Policy Studies in Higher Education analyzed the Fair Practices in Higher Education: Rights and Responsibilities of Students and Their Colleges in a Period of lntensified Com- petition lor Enrollments. The report indicates several positive “contributions to ethical conduct." such as expanding equality of educational opportunity and maintaining quality and substance of education acquired at college. The report also focuses on the serious “signs of deterioration" in academic life. I give these to you without comment. while confessing a deep concern over these and other negative signs which may be appearing at our college as well as others: —Cheating by students on academic assignments. —Misuse by students of public financial aid. —Theft and destruction of valuable university property—most specifically library books and journals. —lnf|ation of grades by faculty members. —Competitive awarding of academic credits and degrees by some departments and by some institutions for insufficient and inadequate academic work. —lnflated and misleading advertising by some institutions in the search for students. Oscar A. Anderson, President prGl’ SUFQGI'U By LEW HOTCHKISS On our way to Augsburg College we encountered small difficulties: stalled cars. combination accidents, isolated thunderstorms. hail, tornado warnings. road construction, swarms of killer bees, and a minor detour taking us through St. Paul, because Minneapolis was temporarily closed for repair. Finn was extremely bitter about the whole thing. He is accustomed to life in the South, where everything is done in “the lazy afternoon." Where everyone sits on the porch drinking Country Time lemonade and children don't have to be reminded to take naps. It is an idyllic life of plenty and pleasure (for those who have it made). We were not among the few who did have it made. "Do you have any lemonade?" Finn asked, showing his drying tongue to me. “Not on me. I ran out last week. Raided a kid's lemonade stand about a month ago. Just kidding.“ We smiled momentarily, pretending to ignore our freeway surroundings. The sound barriers loomed up all around us. Guindon had been right about them after all: Minneapolis was the only city still in packing crates. We continued to wait for the traffic to empty out somewhere but to no avail. Where could it go in a crated city? If only we could be floating our way down the Mississippi. I'm sure the President would have a great time. Delta Queen or no Delta Queen we were going to — Traffic inched its way along. One foot, two feet. three—inches. of course! Soon we had reached Hennepin Avenue. The detour had forced us to get off at the Hennepin exit and continue north. We were propositioned ten times, by males and females. Finn almost accepted one offer but I persuaded him to behave himself. “After all." I said, “We won't have enough time before we get to Washington Avenue. What a waste of fifty dollars in Confederate money," He hesitated to laugh. but soon lost all control and began assulting my bald spot. I remained good-natured and thanked him for such a favorable response. “After all, its not every day that I get maimed by a southern Norwegian." The former location of Augsburg College was marked by a large Naegle sign that read: AUGSBUG COLLEGE MOVED TO GERMANY UNTIL FURTHER NO— Someone had left off the ending. We speculated on the motives for such back-to-roots-movement, Perhaps the Oct. 12, 1979 Board of Directors had finally become fed-up with the single language requirement printed in the Augsburg Now catalogue. Now students would have no difficulty in acquiring a second language. But we knew this could not be their only reason. They were also noted for complaining about students who had to leave Augsburg in order to visit another country. New American students would have no chOIce. and so, they killed two birds with one stone. But they had not solved our problem in the least. Worst of all. we hadn't even been invited to the Board meeting for free cookies and treats. Treats were Norwegian “stomach bombs" planted in Norwegian coffee aimed at any unsuspecting Swede who happened to mistake it for his own elixer. The effects were temporary. however. and no Board Members were ever reported to be seen rushing to the bathroom. Our quest was not in vain. David Wood was walking around. taking measurements with his measuring tape, mumbling something about a new site for a Wood Publishing Company. We interrupted him; asked if he knew where his motorboat was. “In the other guy's garage, I hope," he said. "We sold it two weeks after we got back from our trip. Dangerous journey—the Mississippi." He walked away from us, towards where Mortensen Tower had once leaned. Students had affectionately named it: “The Leaning Tower of Mort.“ Probably Galileo. of Pizza. Italy. would have seen the similarities also. Motorboatiess. schoolless. and Zeitgeitiess. we strode to our vehicle on the verge of tears. We controlled ourselves. however. because we were planning to see “Take Out Your Handerchiefs“ at the Uptown that evening. poul kilqore Traveling eleven miles north of my hometown puts a person in the middle of some of the deepest woods in central Minnesota. At the turn of the century Ernest Van Hynning, on his own after twenty years at his father's Iowa farm. decided that this forest would make a good place to live. So he cut down some trees, cleared some land. and built a little house for himself. Though no one is really sure. it is likely that Ernest earned his first paycheck in Minnesota by helping the lumberjacks rid the county of its remaining white pine. The Van Hynning residence was duly recorded in the Kanabec County records. Among the county‘s historical collection. in fact, is a picture of a man standing in front of a primitive cabin. It looks like late November—the trees are bare. the sky overcast. The man. around forty. is wearing soiled trousers. boots. a leather Jacket. and an old hat, He has what looks like a three-day-old beard. A mischievous, devil»may-care grin is apparent. Under the photograph a caption states simply. “Ernest Van Hynning, 1920." Ernest lived in seclusion for years and years: rarely did he come into town. When he did, it was only to buy what he needed—some food. maybe, or a few new tools. Then he went back up into the woods and wasn't seen for months. In the early 1970's. Carl Nelson. a local businessman, decided it was a shame that Ernest had to spend the holidays alone. So he invited the pioneer. now over ninety years old, to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with his family.

Show moreCandidate experiences culinary delights Fraser/Scallon campaign at Augsburg By TEDD PETERSON Associate Editor Minneapolis mayoral candidate Donald Fraser enjoyed a meal of Sukiyaki and green peas in the Augsburg commons last night. When Fraser wasn't eating, he and Tony Scallon, candidate for 9th ward alderman, shook hands with and talked to as many Augsburg students as they could. Fraser and Scallon are the DFL/Labor endorsed candidates for their respective offices. While talking to a group of students. Fraser mentioned that watching so many people eat was making him hungry. In true Lutheran spirit one of the students offered him a meal ticket enabling him to experience Augs- burg's culinary delight of the evening. As Fraser and Scallon were campaigning, a table was set up where Augsburg residents could register to vote. Scallon has worked at Augsburg in past years registering student voters, but this is the first time he has run for public office. Any Augsburg student who lives on campus and is not registered to vote in another district is eligible to vote in Minneapolis. Fraser said that he is running for mayor because he misses the life of a public servant. He was defeated by Bob Short last October in the DFL primary for the US. Senate. He added. "I don't think I'll run for a state-wide office again. Washington isn't very good at making things happen." He spent 16 years in Washington as Minnesota‘s 5th District Congressman. The biggest concern Don Fraser has for Minneapolis is the acute housing shortage. In the pamphlet he passed out at Augsburg he says. "more affordable housing for families will be my number one priority.“ He disagrees with the Metropolitan CouncH‘s policy of subsidizing low Elect/on candidate Don Fraser and Tony Scallon campaigning at Augs- burg Fraser Will take par! in an Open Forum to be held at Augsburg on Friday, Oct 26 eon- ROALD SATEREN wi’l'kl' ' ' >" TEDD PETERSON assccnlle ~11" income housing in the suburbs. and said "right here in the city is where we need it most." According to Fraser one step towards alleviating the housing problem is increasing the rehabilita- tion program with state and federal subsidies. He was unsure if Augsburg could receive any grants for housing rehabilitation but said that the school could be eligible for low interest loans. Asked if there was any hope for the parking problem in the area, Fraser replied. "There are two alternatives: build parking lots or stop driving cars. It's plain economic reality that in the near future we're going to have to depend more on public transporta— tion." Fraser said that he is neither strongly for nor against the downtown stadium. He pointed out that he was very strongly against the cost of the stadium falling on Minneapolis homeowners through increased pro— perty taxes. He added that the proposed site on the west side of Hennepin Avenue was better, “where it would not have affected residential communities so much." The proposed site for the stadium is downtown's Industrial Square. MTS: Not a tenants’ union By PENNY BECKER Mortensen Tower residents. num- bering 225. sport "MTS Supporter" buttons, but Mortensen Tenant Society supports the other 81 residents as well. MTS has been a part of Augsburg since Sept. 12, but hasn't captured the attention of most residents until much more recently. Last week flyers were posted in Mortensen Tower stating that MTS members would receive priority over non-members in having their apart— ment work orders met. According to Joan Maland, co-chairperson of MTS, the original idea was to serve only members. That changed because it would violate housing contracts of non— members. “We needed something to entice people to join," said Maland, “but since the response was so great we decided to include everyone." The phrase “work orders" was replaced by “apartment inventory" which included an apartment by apartment survey of lost. stolen, and broken items and fixtures. Examples of problems considered in the inventory are missing broiler pans, broken doors. locks, and lights. Membership in MTS requires the purchase of a 35‘cent button. The founders of the organization believed that 100% membership with a minimal fee would be more cohesive and effective than automatic membership of all residents. "We expect 100% membership by the end of the year," said Maland. "People are coming to us and wanting to join." The increase in membership was a result of the flyers and the ideas presented at the meetings suggesting priorities for members, according to Maland. MTS was originally established to improve communication in the tower and to provide residents with a forum for policy making. The 35 cents charged for the button pays only for the button Easter vacation to be shortened, maybe by GAYLE ANDERSON LISABETH CARLSON Spring vacation during the 1980-81 school year might look a little different then they have in the past if all went as predicted at Thursday‘s (yesterday's) meeting of the Academic Council This council is made up of the academic deans and one faculty re- presentative from the five college- consortium, and is responsible for setting up the academic calendar for the five schools. The reason for the possible change is that Easter falls on Apr.19,1981. If the colleges followed past tradition. school would be in session from early February to late April, break for a week, and resume school for three weeks, or until graduation. The deans of students of the five colleges feel that this is psychological- ly too long to go without a break, said Rick Thoni, Augsburg's Associate Dean of Students. They have sent a proposal to the Academic Council suggesting a short break after interim, a short break at Easter, and a week break in mid-March. Augsburg's faculty recently ap— proved this suggestion in an unofficial straw-vote, according to Dean Charles Anderson. This change would be only for the 1980-81 school year. Note: The final results of Thursday's meeting will appear in next week's Echol itself. MTS does not collect dues or have a budget of its own. “We don‘t want to be called a tenants" union," said Maland. “The service should be used by all residents." New phone system brings mixed reactions By PENNY BECKER GAYLE TAYLOR "We could be getting better service for less through the phone company," student Jeff Nygren said of Augsburg‘s new phone system. "The residents are paying for convenient phone systems for the offices and administration.“ The PBX system has changed the routine for Augsburg students by limiting the number of outside lines available. Access to directory assis- tance (411) has been eliminated. The new system has been subject to much cruticusm by students and will take some getting used to. “A couple of times I've had trouble getting a dial tone, but otherwise it's OK." said Scott Seewald. Student Liz Hill remarked, "It's frustrating when you can't get out." The $75 charge for installation was another source of criticism. Many students had telephones installed in their apartments during the summer and had to have them replaced this fall. "i lived in the same apartment last summer and had to have my phone taken out, and I'm paying $5.00 morea month," said Lea Denninger. Lack of understanding of the system led to more problems and dissatis- faction. Students complained that they don't know what the phone system can do. John Mattson said, "It costs too much, l‘d like to know what it is capable of doing." Some students complain of a lack of security in the system because of short switchboard hours and the systematic assignment of phone numbers to apartment numbers. "There's no security in the system." said Lea Denninger, “any- one can find out your number." Not everyone is dissatisfied and much of the confusion is a result of a lack of understanding of the system. "It's a good idea,“ said Dave Soli, "I like not having to hassle with paying the deposit to Ma Bell." Kari Beckman said. "It‘s nice having a phone in the room, I haven't had any problems so far."

Show moreThe magical mellow of Monroe By CINDY JOHNSON Michael Monroe, a local musician. performed in Sateren Auditorium on Sun., Oct. 7. He is a contemporary folk musician, and sings with an amped guitar. His own songs tend to be very rhythmic, jazzy, and strong. There is a wide variation among his songs, though. and many have a calm. smooth feeling to them. Monroe is a gentle singer who really puts himself into the music, not only in his stage appearance, but also in his voice, which can create images before the listener‘s eyes.

Show more; ers We have seen him in person and know that he is not that good-looking as to as worthy of any kind of treatment. and he certainly does not have the drains to demand this type of treatment. Now, to what does he attribute the need for special treatment? We read that he is not nappy with only having cold water to bathe with. Things could be worse—there could be no running water at all. only a pump in the middle of the Quad where he would provide the running part. Mr. Burned writes that the electricity goes off periodically during the weekdays. We think Augsburg should be commended for doing its part to conserve energy, and mostly should be commended for doing its part to harrass Burnned. if he furniture is in ill-repair, we know the reason is because of the antics of a small band of drunken derelicts. headed by one Ross Burnt. Now, these persons knew about the conditions of Memorial Hall before they moved into the finest facilities that Augsburg has to offer. This is Augsburg's excuse. For Mr. Berndt, however. there can be no excuse. We read with great interest the Repercussions by Dickie Sargent. We know of the frustration that greets one when one catches a glimpse of these famous plaques in the new music building. It is. indeed, stupefying at the least, at the most dumbfounding. For those of you who have not given By KAREN THORSON Located just south of Franklin Ave., between 22nd and 23rd Ave. South, is the historical Milwaukee Avenue. Small, closely-spaced homes built along the Avenue between 1884 and 1890 provided homes for poor Scandinavian immigrants. The Avenue, first an alley and later a narrow street, has been changed into a walkway. The homeowners must [allow a preservation code concerning the exteriors of the homes. but the interiors may be redecorated and remodeled. Many organizations including the Seward West Project Area Committee (PAC), the Minneapolis Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and the Minnesota Historical Society are Interested in preserving Milwaukee Avenue. in the past five years, much restoration and rehabilitation has gone on, and many people have moved into the area. Rehabilitation is not yet completed on many of the homes, and you can see various stages of the redevelopment process. t On Sunday, Sept. 30, the Milwaukee Oct. 5, 1979 Continued from page 4 their brain a workout yet this fall, we suggest that you take a tour of these plaques to discover a part of Augsburg history unknown to everyone. As to Sargent, it is gratifying to know that these English teachers really know what they are talking about in class. if Sargent ever needs a real job. we suggest that he sign up with the Echo. The editorials column is always very fascinating. We never know just who will claim to be the editor for a week or if Roald Sateren uses a different alias each week. If the later is the case. we will be counting the number of bogus identities used and then thrown away. We know that many of the readers feel that there should be something left as sacred, and probably that something should be the editor of the Echo. but when one is out to promote injustice. why leave even one small stone unturned? One parting blast. We thank President Anderson for his article on Murphy Square and its namesake, Edward Murphy. We, having gone to Augsburg College are very grateful for this park (or beach, as the case may be) for the numerous activities that are conducted therein. As a reward for righting an injustice. we feel that the President should be made to stand naked for an hour on Murphy Square Park. Hugs and Kisses from your Fearless Readers.

I mean they‘ve got a soul of sorts, and to me they're almost kinfolk." “Lucky seeds, like lucky people, sprout in rich, fertile soil, hopefully thankful to the God and parental lineage that has made the ooportunitv of life DOSSible. Every seedling starts out with a dream. of growing straight and strong, and of serving this world well. They'll need sun, rain, and fertilizer in order to grow and mature, just like you kids. Which is why I'm glad to hear that you're getting plenty of fertilizer in all those college classes of yours. And just like kids, they'll bend instead of break as they weather life's many storms, as the passing years leave their share of scars to get covered by a tougher. thicker bark." l was fascinated by it all and contemplated how the hallucinogenic properties of homemade wine gave Nosey a whole different perspective. He rambled on. “The big difference is that with trees those passing years don‘t kill the dream. People toughen up inside in the wrong way. What kind of world would this be if stronger trees cheated to steal water. or claimed every sunbeam they could get their greedy branches on? Trees share between themselves and with us. God uses trees to store sunshine in the same way he uses people to store love. Sit around a woodfire sometime, and try to figure out how you can share your love with the world, and shine in the dark just as bright as that blaze. That way. when you're like an old rotting forest giant turning into dirt. you‘ll know, like that tree. that you've put more back into the earth than you ever took out of it.“ The sun was slowly sinking over a hill of autumn colors sprinkled with evergreens. leaving me sitting there and wondering about a weekend seminar titled Philosophy of Trees 101. "Makes you think. young and old talking together this way," Nosey continued, "of how in death there is life. and in all things the promise of a new day. Makes you think too, an old man like me talking about old trees and dying. while watching an autumn sunset. Man never knows when he's likely to get cut down." I thought for a second of trees with their first green buds. watching the sunrise of a new spring day. But a new start for man begins with each new day. And it's time for all us young trees to start thinking about bearing fruit. That's the word from down on the farm. reversed—$8.000 from commissions and $2,000 from enrollment.

Sept 26 Augsburg found some unexpected r.orripr,-tition at the net in the first game The Auggies patiently worked their offense and began to find holes on Bethel's side of the net. Augsburg took a large 12-2 lead on conSIstent serving by Lisa Ness and hard hitting by Debbie Thompson. There were several vollies kept alive by good hustle on the part of both teams but Augsburg pulled it out Winning 15-2. The second game showed the Auggies taking advantage of the Bethel mistakes. This. combined with a series of effective spikes by Dana Holmes. gave Augsburg a 7-0 lead. Soccer drops key game 7-0 By H. EVAN PRUITT Staff Writer Coming off of a 4-0 win over St. Scholastica on Wednesday. Sept. 26, it looked as though the soccer team‘s offense had found its groove. But to watch them three days later against St. Thomas one might wonder if that offense was resting up for another dam-burster like the St. Scholastica game. They lost 1-0. "We pass better than they do." said midfielder Kevin Oss. Augsburg dominated the mid-field as they had done against Hamline, Gustavus and St. Scholastica. But in the scoring department Augsburg fell prey to the too-often- used excuse "we didn‘t finish-up in hunt of the net.” In the second half the St. Thomas goalie got more action from his defensemen passing-back than from Augsburg shooting. While co-coaches Jim Agre and Rolf Erickson maintain the use of the 4-4-2 toimation (four defensemen. four mid- fielders and two strikers). some of the players feel a more offensive approach to the game would be better.

The Auggies were having trouble executing their first bumps which are essential in setting up their offensive plays. These fundamental errors combined with scattered errors in judgment cost them the game 17-15. Augsburgs coverage. forearm pas- sing and net play were all consistent in the third game. The lead exchanged hands several times going to the team that was dominating at the net. Each team found itself alternating on defense and the score was tied 14 all. Augsburg held on to win 16-14. The Auggies were reacting better and moving quicker at the net at the beginning of the fourth game. Toward the middle of the game Peg Meisner and Deb Thompson helped them pull ahead with powerful spikes. and Kim Brennan made some hustling saves giving Augsburg a 14-9 lead. Dana Holmes gave Augsburg the final point placing the ball where Bethel wasn't. Augsburg took the f0urth game 15-11 and the match 3-1.

After allowrng the Tommies to build up a 20-0 lead. Augsburg called junior quarterback Rick Redetzke off the bench early in the fourth quarter. Redetzke wasted no time in leading a drive that culminated in Augsburg's first score.

The extra point attempt failed and the score was 20-6. St. Thomas. The Auggie defense held St. Thomas throughout the fourth quarter. Late in the game. a personal foul and a pass interference call against St. Thomas kept an Augsburg drive alive. and Redetzke scored. blasting through the middle from the 1-yard line. The two-pornt converston attempt was successful as Redetzke rolled to the right and once again hit Roff in the end zone. making the score 20—14 With less than a minute left. Augsburg surprised St. Thomas With a successful onside kick recovered by Gary Tangwell. With A? seconds left to play. Augsburg's hopes were still very much alive. These hopes died two plays later as St. Thomas intercepted a Redetzke pass and was able to run out the clock. According to head coach Al Kloppen. Augsburg's inability to generate an offense early was the reason for the loss. He added. "We must give the St. Thomas defense a lot of credit. as they held us to only 43 yards total offense in the first half.“ Dan Rolf and Bob Dorgan both had excellent showings in Augsburg's effort. Rolf was the offensive spark as he led all rushers with 75 yards and caught one touchdown pass. Dorgan finished the day with two fumble recoveries. an interception in the end zone. f0ur kickoff returns for 84 yards. a 14-yard punt return. and 11 defensive assists. He had another interception nullified by an Augsburg penalty. ' St. Thomas scored on two consecutive drives in the first half. Their first touchdown came on a 12-yard pass with 58 seconds left in the first quarter. The extra point attempt failed.

The combination of earth sheltering and modern construction methods of insulating and waterproofing makes these homes more energy efficient than conventional housing. The townhouses employ both passive and active solar designs. Passive solar features include an open southern exposure to let in the winter sun for direct heat gain and natural light. The summer sun will be shaded by an overhang. Exterior rolling shutters provide further control of heat gain and loss and provide privacy and security when closed. Massive con- crete walls, floors. and ceilings provide thermal storage as well as structural support. Passive features alone will contribute from 25 to 35 percent of the annual space heating requirements. The active system uses air as a transfer medium. Warmed air inside solar panels is circulated through a forced air system. Four tons of rock storage in each unit will provide about two days carry-over to supply heat on cloudy or overcast days. When solar energy is not sufficient. the back-up conventional gas furnace comes on automatically. Maintenance will be minimal since there is no liquid to leak or freeze in the air system. The active solar system also preneats water ior domestic use you around. It is estimated that the solar system will contribute 16 million BTU's for hot water heat each year. A conventional gas water heater will boost water temperatures when necessary. At least 45 percent or more of the space heating requirement will be met by the active solar system. Preliminary heat load calculations indicate that the passive solar feature. of the townhouses combined with the active solar collectors should con- tribute between 70 and 80 percent at the total space heating needs each year. The actual energy performance will vary according to weather conditions and the personal energy use of the occupants. Monitoring will be done by the Underground Space Center of the University of Minnesota for the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. Earth sheltered homes have two additional advantages. First. there is almost no exterior maintenance. The Homeowner's Association manages the townhouses and contract for any exterior upkeep necessary. Secondly, previous to this development. most earth-sheltered houses have been built in rural or suburban locations. Earth sheltering has made it possible to convert a formerly unattractive, marginal piece of property into a habitable, attractive place to live. D STUDENTS . . Need A Place To Stash Your Cash?

A shining star is Augsburg's crisp. one-touch passing by Jackson. Budin- ski. Whitten and others allowing Augsburg to control the mid-field play and keep St. Thomas away from the goal. St. Thomas' scoring play came from a penalty situation, not controlled play. Late in the first half, defenseman Stuart Wazilowski got tangled with a St. Thomas striker and they both hit the dirt. The referee called a tripping penalty setting St. Thomas up for a twenty-yard indirect free-kick. A St. Thomas player chipped the ball in front of the goal just out of the reach of Mark Anderson. After two brilliant stops by Anderson the ball found its way out of the pile-up of players and found a home in the Augsburg net. Continued from page 3 community is a great resource. For freshmen, he says, “adjustment should be easier if we all get involved and are outgoing." Bill Bullock, St. Louis Park, is the new freshman off-campus representa- tive. Bill is a business major and may possibly minor in law. As he has only been at Augsburg for four weeks he hasn‘t had much time to experience what the life of a commuter is all about. He would like to see carpooling operate at Augsburg in the hopes of saving energy and possibly preventing any Augsburg houses from being torn down for future parking lots. Bill feels that commuters should get more involved and become more informed. He cites his own victory on the basis of only a dozen votes as an obvious example of how commuters are either uninvolved or not informed. Bill sees advantages in living either on or off campus. but says he will do what commuters want him to do with his power in the student government. Mark Hassenstab is the freshman at-large representative and he comes from Richfield. Minnesota. Mark is majoring in accounting and is minoring in political science. Mark enjoys playing tennis and is looking forward to playing intramural basket- ball this year at Augsburg. Although Mark has not been active in student government before, on campus he is politically active in Richfield. During second semester this year, Mark will be doing an internship with a state senator. One of Mark's special concerns is for more variety in the food service menus, and he, like the other freshman officers. would like to encourage freshman as well as everybody else to get involved with Augsburg‘s Student Government.

Show moreeditorials Homecoming in the spirit of Augsburg The scenario might be: Child leaves home. goes off to Augsburg, misses the family, misses home, But every October Augsburg transforms the theme. Homecoming is here! Homecoming. Coming home. It‘s rather odd equating a school with a home. Or is it? in fact, aren‘t there a lot of similarities? isn't it almost exactly like a home? With a stretch of the imagination one could say that all the things that bond a family and home together bond Augsburg together. There are the tangible elements: food. money, a bed, a roof. Then there are the intangible factors: identity, security, enlightenment and love. But it's the intangible environment: the friendships, the history. and the spirit that keep Homecoming alive. Of course queuing up for the colorful Smorgasbord. its tables filled with meats, relishes and deserts, is a wonderful and vital part of Homecoming. And then there‘s heading-out for the Parade Stadium gridiron with blankets, thermoses and binoculars—somehow Homecoming wouldn‘t be the same without it. The goldfish and pie-eating contests; the talent show and dance; the convocation and honoring of alumni—all these signify Homecoming. Augsburg nurtured this spirit for 60 years until 1927 when the first Homecoming was celebrated. With an air of pride, the Echo spoke of “this year, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, going down in the annuals of our school history as the first one in which such an event was celebrated at Augsburg.“ And just as today, they were planning for the big luncheon with the "Old Grads" assembling in the Dining Hall where maroon and gray banners indicating the tables where respective classes were to meet. For 52 years Homecoming has been with us. Every year the spirit is rekindled. Alumni come home and remember what it is all about. Students prepare for alumn's much as a little girl prepares for the arrival of her big sister. So, we look to Homecoming with the same fellowship and spirit that prevailed in 1927 when President George Sverdrup addressed alumni, students and friends during the first Saturday morning Homecoming chapel service: We would like to begin this our first Homecoming Day in the spirit of Augsburg. . . [believe we can say. as we think of what Augsburg is and has been, that there would be a chorus harmonious, though coming from years far apart. a song of praise, and a song of gratitude , . . Let us so live that . . . as we look back there will be very/itt/e to spoil the song of happiness and/0y that should be ours. . .

Fifty years ago the New York Times headlines reported the begin- ning of “world peace talks," (though the U.S. and Great Britian were the only participants), marked by the arrival of British Labor Premier Ramsay MacDonald to meet with President Hoover. Other headlines highlighted a prison riot at Colorado State Penitentiary that killed 12, a blood transfusion referred to as an "operation," and “indecent” litera- ture. including D.H Lawrences' Lady Chatterley's Lover and Joyces' Ulysses was seized by New York police. Fifty years ago. Kellogg's All-bran was billed as a cure for constipation, and radios could be "installed" for just $215. Time has reduced these headlines to trivia. “World peace" was shattered ten years later, blood transfusions have become simple medical procedure, riots killing only 12 were proven rare and "indecent literature" is now sold in grocery stores. Homecoming. Alumni returning to the campus will gather to reminisce about their days at Auggie Tech. They will wonder how they could have done some of the things they did and marvel at how different they and the world are now. They will assume that the new college atmosphere is vastly different than the world they experienced. But has it really changed? In a 1929 issue of Nation magazine, an editorial by EC. Wilm attempted to clarify the need for college reform (a hot topic that year). Wilm wrote: “Formerly, a college education was for a few elect, whom a family tradition of culture and social prominence brought to the college campus. Today the college degree has become the objective of hundreds of thousands of high school graduates whose main qualification in the majority of cases fora career of scholarship is the ability to pass a set of rather perfunctory high school requirements. The result is that college exercises are adapted to this mass of inert mediocrity and the small minority of students whose thought is on anything beyond athletics, fratern- ities and social trivialities have become indifferent and cynnical. often losing whatever interest they may have had in intellectual pursuits . . . " The class of 1929, along with every class since them, is part of this "mass of inert mediocrity" (by no choice of their own, of course), engaging merely in “social trivialities." The June 6. 1929 issue of the Echo reported 44 seniors receiving diplomas; the largest graduating class ever from the collegelseminary/academy.Thegreat- ‘ er portion of the issue, however, was devoted to social news. reporting that, “Mr. and Mrs. Opseth delight- fully entertained the choral society in their home." and that Mrs. Sverdrup and Miss Mortenson gave a tea for the senior class at East Hall. “Social trivialities," maybe Mr. Wilm. but Augsburg College endured. 1954. Twenty-five years after the editorial was written. Perhaps college life had changed by then. The Echo reported the expected completion date of the new library, but more space was given to the clubs, choirs and teams‘ activities. Picking the Homecoming queen was of major importance and in November, the month of the famous “Fantasy in Frost" semi-formal dance, a front page picture with the caption "Dorothy Dreams of Dating David," showed a girl at the desk daydreaming of the big dance and her prospective date. The accompanying article outlined the details of the dance, noting that “Keep it Kool," an etiquette booklet, has been published and distributed to all students in time for the event. And, even in 1969, ten years ago, the major emphasis was on the social activities on campus. Homecoming meant crowning a queen, freshmen beanies and showing off athletic prowess. Freshmen attended the “Freshmen Formal Dinner" to receive instruction in the art of unfolding a dinner napkin properly and other necessities of formal dining. Wilm would use this as evidence to argue for the college reform he suggested. But, as alumni return to the campus and no doubt will also look back on these documents of the past, they will see what they remember the most and, though Wilm would pass it off as only "social trivialities." it was by no means "inert mediocrity" oi the masses. And, as i write these words for this. i the 52nd homecoming issue ol the I Echo. I wonder what some person ten.I twenty-five or fifty years from now will see in the rssue and use to make generalizations about the nation's youth. As Augsburg evolves into tomorrow towards truth and towards the freedom. we will continue to come home and look back. Oct. 5, 197'

'NF/‘.<5 guy/My- rulr' poul kilqore One of the curiosities about Augsburg is the mixed feelings the college has toward its tradition. At a glance. it appears as though we are more interested in ' promoting our innovation and adaptation to changing circumstances than we are in pointing out the qualities which have sustained us for 110 years, Not that this is i necessarily bad. It's impractical to think that Augsburg shouldn‘t fill its catalog with information on interim and CHFi courses. Our participation in new programs is a major selling point for the college. Augsburg makes use of this. At the same time. there are reminders that Augsburg is indeed interested in its past. Various rooms in the new music building have been named after former professors (though the structure itself. of course. is still known as The Music Building). In addition. Augsburg has opted to renovate Old Main rather than succumb to the temptation of tearing it down. And we can't forget our school‘s pride in being the caretaker for Minneapolis' first park. Sometimes I'm tempted to believe that the reason for these mixed feelings is that Augsburg. While realizing how important both the past and the luture are to the college‘s situation. hasn't quite been able to keep these two from opposing one another. It is difficult. for example. to initiate a whole system of internships and still remain loyal to the liberal arts tradition. How much easier to separate the two-thus keeping them out of contlict—and tout both of them lnlelduaHy. as it the other didn‘t exist. But Augsburg insists that our goals for the future and our tradition are . compatible. I guess I believe that I guess I believe that Augsburg is committed to 'the idea that the challenge of the future can be met Without dismissing the accomplishments of the past What has all this to do with us students and Homecoming ‘79? Simply this among our everyday activities. among our plans for the future. it might be a good idea to stop and get acquainted With that 110-year»o|d heritage we have What ' better time to learn a little about Augsburg's past than the one weekend of the year when so many alumni return? Take an hour tomorrow morning to attend the Homecoming Convocation at Si Melby Hall. Listen to what the speakers have to say about this college. Maybe someone will even tell a story. or mention some names. names like Bernhard Christensen and Anne Pederson and Arthur Nash. names seldom heard around campus anymore. And then. after the stories. after the reminiscings. after the revealing recollections—then maybe we'll be in a better position to think about tomorrow MﬂerL-‘S/er /I’lAi/_ SAL/2’; A’vpii' '. I confess that I tolerate a certain amount of change reasonably well. But I feel uncomfortable if the change is too rapid or too extenswe. I need a degree of continuity. Perhaps it is this continuity that people seek when they attend family reunions, church reunions. high school re- unions and even college homecomings. Events such as re— unions and homecomings have two important elements— places and persons; but there has to be something more. an intangible “something” that links the persons and the places. It involves memory. understanding. and rapport. And that is where the continuity is sought. Persons and places change, we know. but we long for that spirit of _ understanding. that intangible common bond to continue. ' Occa5ionally I hear a returning Augsburg alumnus say. "I don't recognize this ’ place anymore; there are so many changes." Several alumni voted to let Old Main stand so that there would be at least one familiar building. But when they return even that burlding. through renovation. Will have changed considerably. Many tamiliar faces Will also be gone. The new and renovated buildings are a Joy to behold; it is a pleasure also to become acquainted with the new people who are part of the Augsburg family. When friends and alumni of Augsburg ask "has Augsburg changed?" they do not refer to the buildings and the people; they refer to the "spirit." They want to know whether at Augsburg there are the same attitudes. obiectives. goals. and purposes My response to the question is that Augsburg is a Iivmg. changing institution where buildings are being replaced and/or renovated. where some people are leavmg and others coming; but it remains a college of the church “committed to an open. honest. competent inquiry into the scnences. arts and humanities in the context of the Christian faith." The continuity is there. Editor's note: Augsburg Confessions [735/31 If YOU are interestea' in is open for faculty input.

Along with cornice restoration. the exterior of Old Main is undergoing a lace-lift. The brick surface is being treated with an acid solution and light pressure water wash. Sandblasting was ruled-out because of the damage it causes to old brick, explained Fosse. Cracks and chips in the cement between bricks will be restored by a process called grouting. On the outside Old Main will retain its classrca/ architectural style that existed at the turn of the century when the building was built. However. the inside Will take on a whole new look. The foyers and door arches leading into classrooms will maintain their wooden antique look, but office and classrooms will go through extensive remodeling taking on a very modern appearance. Construction crews are nearing completion on the new sprinkler system. insulation and the installation of ventilation ducts. explained Fosse. Progress continues on partitioning second floor class rooms and offices for the language department. Electricians will soon begin work on Except/ng the new elevator [in Memorial Hall, most remodeling and renovation around the Quad will be completed by next spring. Senate appropriates $62,059 to student organizations By PENNY BECKER News Editor Augsburg '5 Student Senate finalized the 1979-80 budget on Sunday, Sept. 23. The total budget for 79—80 is $62,059. Of that total $51,240 was allocated by the administration and was compiled from an average of 1464 full»time students (FTE) with a $35 allocation per FTE. The other $10,819 was left over from the 1978-79 school year. Approximately $2,000 of this reserve was added to last year‘s budget at the end of the year due to an unexpected increase in students. The remaining money was left over from commissrons, A total reserve of $7,750 was agreed upon by the Student Senate with $5.750 ear-marked for the 1978-79 Augsburgian. The other $2,000 will remain in the Student Senate account as a protection against potential monetary problems. "A substantial amount of the 1978779 Augsburgian had not been paid.“ said student society treasurer Cindy Ellman "There were three bills loft unpaid. rather than the usual one" Current Augsburgian Editor. eon- ROALD SATEREN 0m”, .lSSx‘x‘ldle x‘t' it TEDD PETERSON , . Terri Sturm submitted a budget proposal of $6,262 for the old yearbook and a $5,696 proposal for this year's book. She expects to produce the 1979-80 Augsburgian at a $566 savings from last year. The Black Student Union made a request of $4,967. This was to cover expenses of Orientation Month. Black History Month, Black Recognition Events, and Gospel Nights. They were not granted their full request. "We don't have the money." said Ellman. "The increase we gave them was very much proportionate to the other commissions." The senate advised that BSU should integrate into existing programs. For example, Gospel Nights could be sponsored by the Religious Life Commission and CSD could grant money for Orientation Month. A $4,105.80 budget was requested by the darkroom, but only a $3,700 allocation was granted. Wage in- creases and new equipment costs were denied. KCMR was given $1,762 to cover wages and production costs. This was a slight increase over last year to pay an additional staff member and to distribute finances equitably among the commission. Programs Commission received a $17000 allocation for 1978—79. The commission director, Mary Anderson, requested about $4000 more for bands and movies, but the Senate again felt they did not have the money. Religious Life Commission was allocated $2,847 and $700 went to Publicity. The Executives of Student Society received $1,850. The major problems in the budget decisions this year were the Augsburg- ian and Black Student Union. The 1978-79 Augsburgian remains un- finished and the total production costs cannot yet be calculated. BSU made reasonable requests for more money, but that money does not exist. The Student Senate met for hours in an attempt to divide available money equitably while leaving a safe reserve. For the most part, production increases were granted and wage increases denied. “Wages were kept the same because they are actually just a token of appreciation, not an actual payment for work done," said Ellman. “We felt production was much more im- portant."

Eventually, the art department will take up residence in the basement and first floor of Old Main. New windows and touch-up plastering in the large old chapel area will provide a "tremendous studio for painting," said Fosse. An elevator is being constructed near the tunnel entrance leading to Science Hall. Fosse explained that cars for all new elevators will arrive by the first of the year and installation should follow shortly thereafter. The tunnel connecting Old Main to Science Hall and the College Center will run to 21st Ave. and will be covered by a canopy. According to ‘ Fosse it should be ready by ‘ Thanksgiving. The tunnel entering Science Hall came through in the middle of physics laboratory. Consequently, the entire physics department underwent ex- tensive remodeling and reshuffling. More classrooms were built on the first floor of Science Hall when the math department occupied the offices vacated by the Dean, Associate Dean and the Vice President for Finance. According to Fosse, a short-range goal is to relocate the Financial Aid and Registrar's offices to Memorial— probably sometime next summer. This move would also create more classroom space in Science Hall. As for other aspects of the over-all Renewal Project, Fosse was uncertain about when further construction will begin. However, the proposed Drama facility and remodeling the Art Studio for the business and psycology depart- ments were singled out by Fosse as areas that should get underway soon.

Show moreI poul kilqore Last weekend I walked down to Cedar-Riverside and saw the Mixed Blood Theatre's production of Bleacher Bums. This play—Mixed Blood calls it a “nine—inning comedy"—portrays one summer afternoon in the lives of eight ardent Chicago Cub fans. Set in the outfield seats of Wrigley Field, Bleacher Bums records the joys and frustrations of fans who have waited over 30 years for a championship baseball team. It isn't hard for a spectator to get caught up in' the action. Though not one player, umpire, or even baseball bat can be found in the theater, an entire game between the Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals is played. A public-address announcer introduces each batter and 3 Hammond organ gives the audience those brief chords traditionally heard alter each out. This ballpark atmosphere touches not only the stage. but the whole theater as well. As they enter, the fans—er, members of the audience—are given “score- cards” instead of programs. The show. we are informed, has no intermission, although “there will be a seventh-inning stretch." And during that stretch—you guessed it: conces— sionaires run through the audience selling peanuts and beer. Bleacher Bums works because it captures that indefinable quality which is so peculiar to baseball. For those who aren't bleacher bums, it is hard to understand the charm of a lazy summer evening at the ballpark, or the beauty of a perfectly-executed double play, or the intensity of the cat—and- mouse battle which goes on between pitcher and batter with each pitch. Baseball is unique in that the character of the game changes as the season drifts on. Baseball in April, with its grand hopes and blind optimism, is a different game than baseball in July; mid-summer baseball, in turn, is not the same as baseball played on crisp afternoons in late September. The beauty of the game is that it stays constant enough to keep us secure while changing just enough to keep us hopeful. That hope is what kept the Cub fans in Bleacher Bums coming back to the ballpark year after year, and it is what's drawing us Twin fans back to the radio night after night. I know, of course, that the Twins can't win the pennant this year, just as the Cubbies couldn‘t win it during any of the previous 30 years. We had a chance earlier. If only we had done better against Texas. If only Roy Smalle} hadn’t fallen into that slump. When I got back home from Bleacher Bumsl heard that, earlier in the evening, the Twins had scored three in the ninth to beat Milwaukee. We were only two and a half games out of first. Maybe we will win it, after all. Wynegar‘s starting to hit again. The pitching has been holding up. There's always that chance that tomorrow, just maybe . . . film clips Monty Python's latest stirs controversy By RUTH WOOD Staff Writer Contrary to rumor, the latest Monty Python film, The Life of Brian is not a parody of the life of Christ. True enough, Brian's life is contemporary with Christ's. The prologue indicates that they were in fact born on the same day. Even more coincidentally, the three Wise Men from the East at first mistake Brian for the Messiah they seek. (Though one wonders how they could, when the mother of this supposed God-child appears as a 45-year-old-goat with huge sagging breasts and a five o'clock shadow.) After bestowing their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, the astrologers take leave of "Mary" and her son. Outside her hovel, they discover in a nearby shelter the true Holy Babe watched over by Mary and Joseph, complete with seraphic haloes. They waste no time in retrieving their gifts from the bogus recipient. The scene cuts to a "Saturday afternoon, around tea time; Judea, 33 AD." Jesus of Nazareth is preaching to a large crowd. Brian, earnestly portrayed by Graham Chapman. is amongst the crowd. His mother begs that they go to the stoning of a blasphemer instead. The film goes on to depict some rather startling similarities between the life of Brian and the life of Christ, but has made a point of establishing the existence of Christ altogether apart from the existence of Brian. Even so, The Life of Brian has elicited outrage, notably from William F. Buckley, for its sacrilegious stance. It has also elicited raves for its hilarity and well-aimed satire. I would take exception to both extremes of criticism. Sept. 28, 1979 The film does have offensive features. In one unnecessary scene, a scavenger “gleans” the hacked up parts of Christian martyrs in the coliseum. Characters of all descriptions say “piss off" when “scram” would do. The stoning of the blasphemer becomes an anti-Semitic travesty when the executioner himself repeatedly utters the name “Jehovah.” On the other hand, the film has some marvelously funny scenes. I loved the portrayal of Pontius Pilate (one of the many roles in this film wryly acted by Machael Palin.) This Iimp-wristed leader mispronounces the letter When he asks the throng in the forum to name a prisoner to be released, they suggest Roger. “Wahjo it will be," he proclaims. His audience titters: and his aid whispers that there is no prisoner named Roger. Pilate clears his throat and tries again. “We have no pwisonuh by that name. Who would you have me welease? . . .Wahdowick? Alwight, Wahdowick it shall be." Eventually the crowd rolls in laughter on the pavement. Pilate's bosom friend "Biggus Dickus"—whose speech impediment thenters on the letter "eth"—doesn‘t help much to get them under control. In an earlier scene Pilate mentions to some Roman soldiers in his throne room that he has a friend named “Biggus Dickus." The soldiers try valiantly to restrain their amusement. When some collapse in laughter, Pilate has them dragged off to “gladiator school." He tests the respect of those remaining by pursuing the issue: “And do you know what his wife's name is?“ he asks . . . “lncontinenta Buttocks." Thus he enlists several more new gladiators. Not all of the humor is that risque, nor is every attempt at humor very funny. The last segment of the film is particularly disappointing. Brian, along with 139 other criminals, is asked to "take the door to the left and line up, one cross per person." Then they drag their crosses to the site of crucifixion. Hawkers sell votive candles in the shape of crosses to spectators along the way. A good samaritan who offers to help one of the burdened ones by carrying his cross for a while is left holding the cross. Eventually he is nailed to It for his impulsive kindness. Once the crosses are erected, the victim on Brian's right breaks into a little ditty that could've been copied from Disney's Snow White: "When you‘re chewing on life's gristle . . . always look on the bright side of life." The “infectious cheerfulness" soon has all the victims whistling along and tapping their toes—to the extent that they can tap them. Not very funny. Continued on page 8 [30pr SUFQGFL] By LEWIS HOTCHKISS “LEW!” No answer. "LEW!" No answer. . “What's wrong with that guy, I wonder? LEW!" he said, with a southern accent. Huckleberry “Finn” Anderson, a full blooded half—Norwegian, had temporarily lost track of me behind the piles of old railroad ties. “Here I am!" I yelled. “Did you find any long enough to lash together?“ I approached my lanky conterpart with the air of a river captain. “No. Just wide enough to run rails over." We walked back to the truck. “I'm tempted to hijack the Mississippi Queen and use it,“ I said, “because Jimmy Carter has already got the Delta Queen." Finn looked at me with a fishy expression on his face. “Do you know any ballistics experts?“ I asked. “No.” "Any unemployed terrorists?" UNO_,. “Any ex«Marines?" “No.” “Anyone that could help us pull off the biggest river heist of the century?" “Yes,” he submitted. “Who?” | pleaded. “David Wood. He's got a connection with a motorboat. I guess he knows the river pretty well. See, he wrote this article in the Minneapolis Star and Tribune. . . " Finn rolled his window down and a breeze entered the cab of the truck. “We‘ll try to talk to him," I said, turning the ignition key. The 340 cu. in. engine burst into action. I shifted into first gear. and popped the clutch, leaving a cloud of dust and exhaust behind us. “Augsburg College, here we come."

Show moreBalanced offensive attack and elimination of mistakes Gridders shine in home opener over Carleton 34-6 By DOUG NELSON Trainer The Auggies opened their 1979 home season with an impressive 34-6 triumph over Carleton at Parade Stadium. Augsburg coach Al Kloppen was very pleased with the play of the team. “We eliminated many of the mistakes that have plagued us in our first two games and the offense finally got untracked," he said. Augsburg took advantage of the short 13»yard punt from Carleton's Brian Davies and marched right down the field with quarterback Steve Yeazle going around end for a three—yard touchdown. The extra point failed when the pass fell short. After five minutes of play, Augsburg led 6-0. Then, with one minute left in the first quarter. Yeazle connected with wide receiver Scott Severson for a 24-yard touchdown pass and Roger Schwartz kicked the extra point. The first quarter came to an end with Augsburg leading 13-0. The Augsburg offense continued to roll as they drove in for their third touchdown early in the second quarter with Tony Nelson breaking several tackles to score on a 42-yard run from scrimmage The extra point was good and the score read Augsburg 20»0. Augsburg and Carleton spent the rest of the first half exchanging the ball with neither team doing any more scoring, On the defensive pursuit are Mike Smith 88, Steve Grinde 47 and Jeff Stoks 30 after a crushing hit by Paul Nies 21, The Auggies used the air and the ground in stopping Carleton 34-6. Augsburg kicked off to begin the second half. On the first play from scrimmage, Carleton fumbled. and Jeff Stoks recovered for Augsburg It took the Auggies only three plays to put the ball in the end zone with captain Duke Lachinski scoring on a iECHO Photo by Home Smith one—yard plunge. The extra point was good and it was 27—0 Augsburg. Carleton‘s next possession ended when Gary Tangwall intercepted the Carl‘s Curt Wyffels pass, Nine plays later, Dan Fioff scored from 15 yards out and Schwartz added his fourth Volleyballers win ﬁrst two matches By LAURIE JESSEN Last week Augsburg‘s Women‘s Volleyball Team recorded their first two wins in what Coach Mary Timm feels to be a promising season. Augsburg's first match was played against St. Thomas Monday, Sept. 17. Augsburg went on offense immediate- ly in the first game. They controlled the ball well but were unable to put their spikes inside the court. They soon began to pull away using their new 6-2 offense effectively. St. Thomas found themselves on defense and unable to set up any plays. Good anticipation and consistent serving gave Augsburg a lead of 10-5. They continued to move well, mixing their plays by hitting from slde-to-side and in the middle. The score of the first game reflected the style of play with Augsburg beating St. Thomas 15-5, The Augsburg starting line-up was changed for the second game of the match. This combination started out slowly. but had spurts of consistent hitting and serving. The Tommies had communication problems on several occasions allowing the ball to fall between players. These mistakes gave Augsburg the second game of the match. 15-5. In the third game of the match, Augsburg jumped out to an 11-0 lead behind the serving of Dana Holmes. St. Thomas regained the serve once but the Auggie defense held and they eventually served four points to win the game 152 and the match in three straight games. "We have some polishing up to do, but we do have good potential," said 10 Coach Timm, “They hit well as a team, and their serving was good, but not good enough,“ added Timm. “However, they did a nice job of forearm passing tonight." The match played on Friday, Sept. 21 differed from the quality of volleyball Augsburg played in their first match. Augsburg utilized good net play with well-placed hits and team blocking giving them a 93 lead. Despite some inconsistencies in serving and forearm passing Augsburg held on to win the first game 15-10. Improved teamwork and hustle brought the Alumni a 9—1 lead in the second game. Refusing to give up, Augsburg staged a comeback and tied it up at 11-11, The Auggies managed to pull it out, winning with a score of Soccer team dominates, but loses 7 -0 By H. EVAN PRUITT Coming off a 2-0 mid-week victory against Bethel, the Augsburg Soccer team lost to Gustavus, 10, on Saturday, Sept. 22. Co-coach Rolf Erickson felt the team was “coming together" with more mid-field control and tighter passing, and against Gustavus that was exactly the case. Augsburg's good passing and position play allowed them to control almost the entire game. But the scoring in the Bethel game (by Jerry Jackson and Matt Ellingson) was missing in the Gustavus game. Augsburg never got a clean scoring shot off within the 16-meter box, 15-12. The Alumni showed determination and hustle in the third game of the match. They consistently found holes on the Augsburg side of the net and came from behind to win the game 15-12, The fourth game of the match was closely contested. Each side won points on some lengthy volleys. Neither team was able to keep the serve for their final two points. The serve changed hands several times before the Alumni pulled out an 18-16 victory. The final and deciding game showed improved play on the part of the Auggies. They played well together pulling away from the Alumni squad. Augsburg won the game 15-6 and the match 3-2. although the penetration into the offensive corners produced numerous feeds to the Gustavus goal. "Getting used to each other is the hard part," said defenseman Marius Hall. “We've got a 4-4-2 and we're not used to it." A 4-4-2, is the formation Augsburg sets-up with four defensemen, four mid-fielders and two forwards, allowing the mid-fielders to control play more while the two outSIde players go outside on offense In the attacking zone. Mid-fielder, Ron Tungseth, feels the team is playing more together but added. “We still need more work on the offense" with the new formation. extra point to finish the scoring for Augsburg. With just six seconds left in the third quarter, quarterback Bill Ford scored from three yards out to put Carleton on the scoreboard. The pass from Ford fell short for the extra point attempt. The fourth quarter was spent exchanging punts, as coach Kloppen had a chance to get a look at all of his players. The Augsburg ground game was led by Duke Lachinski, who had 84 yards in 12 attempts. Tony Nelson had 75 yards in 11 attempts, and Dan Roff ended the day with 68 yards in 9 attempts. Yeazle finished the day with 9 completions out of 15 attempts, good for 145 yards. Mike Dick led all receivers with 54 yards in three catches. Augsburg will now turn their attention to next week's game against the Purple Tide from St. Thomas. The Toms will want to get back on the winning track after losing this past weekend at St. Peter to Gustavus 56-35. The Toms have a strong team with an experienced offense and a well balanced defense. Their offense is led by coach Deitz's son Doug at quarterback, St. Thomas is 1-1 in the MIAC and 1-2 overall. Augsburg now stands at 0-1 in the MIAC and 1-2 overall.

" We feel that the true funny page in last week‘s Echo was the article about last year’s Augsburgian pages being lost. There is not much that need to be misread into this article to get the true humor. This is something that we thought could only happen on Laurel and Hardy, but we were obviously mistaken, We feel that in the light of this that Augsburg should offer a class in common sense, otherwise there might be a graduate of Augsburg that would be teaching and manage to lose an entire class. The last item that we would poke fun at is the picture of Paul Nies, with the caption, “Auggie defensive back, Paul Nies, looking pleased . . . ” We take exception with this statement. We have never seen Mr. Nies looking pleased about anything. In this picture, Mr. Nies looks as if he were trying to steal away the Johnson‘s Baby Shampoo ad from Tarkenton. We don’t think that Nies would look pleased on that ad, either. Our last statement is that we have noticed that there are more Echos being printed each week than are picked up. ln order to alleviate this situation, we suggest that the Echo begin a centerfold section.

When we moved in this year we were promised to have hot water within one week. It has now been three 8 Continued from page 4 weeks and we are still taking cold showers. The electricity goes off periodically during the week days, the carpet has not been cleaned for over two years and most of the furniture is in serious need of repair. it is for these reasons that we feel some form of consideration should be taken by the administration. The best solution we feel to be morally, as well as legally correct, is some form of reduction in rent. Since rent is paid in advance we would like to get paid back for the hardships we have thus gone through. If this is the case, we would like to get paid back in cash and not have it credited to our student accounts. We realize that this might cause a problem with the Augsburg college bookkeeping system so we are willing to discuss any suggestions you might have. PLEASE CONTACT US in the near future. Sincerely, Ross Berndt and the third floor of Memorial Hall Attentive repentence To the Editor: “May we and all Israel thy people be remembered and inscribed before thee in the book of life and blessing, peace and prosperity, for a happy life and for peace. Blessed art thou, O Lord, Author of Peace." i don't know how many Augsburg people know that this past weekend was Fiosh Hashanah, or the Day of Judgment. This is the day on which all mankind passes in judgment before God. And from that day until Yom Kippur, Jews are petitioning God for the above by fervent and attentive repentance. because the close of Yom Kippur is also the close of God's book of life in which He inscribes the type of life each person shall experience for the next year. During the weekend of Flosh Hashanah I went to services at Hillel Temple on the University of Minnesota campus. It started, for me, Friday night with the welcoming in of the Sabbath and on Sunday morning with the blowing of the shofar. My actual emphasis is on the attitude and atmosphere that exist at Hillel, and that is because the people are Jews, I hadn't for a while experienced such a realism in certain things as I did at Hillel. God is real, prayer is real, I am real, security is real, Holiness is real, the Torah is real, peace is real, the shofar sounding praises to God is real. praise crowning God is real—l could go on and on with the realism that came forth. Some people might think the above peculiar, such as the exclamation that God is real. Sure, most of us know it to be true all the time, but how often do we experience it to be true? With this subject it is much better to experience it as real and then to know it as a truth, than vice versa. I experience God as being real each moment of every day, but it is rare when I experience God before each moment, before I utter the first sound of His name, and this is what Hillel provided. This letter has two intentions. One is to express and share my experience with you and the second is to invite you contact me or you can go straight there. Hillel is located on 1521 University Ave. S.E., and services for Yom Kippur start on Sunday, Sept. 30, at 7:00 pm. And, please don't think we have no Saviour, because after all; isn't that what God's name means? May You Be Inscribed For A Happy New Year, Larry DeSantis to come to Hillel for services. You can Continued from page 7 Monty Python Still, Director Terry Jones has created some well-aimed and entertaining satire. The rebels in the Judean Liberation Front (which Brian has joined) have a hard time keeping themselves straight from their rival group, the People's Front of Judea—or is it the Popular Front of Judea? They don‘t know either. They do know, like their contemporary counterparts in the PLO. that they want to be liberated from oppressors. “What have the Romans done for us?" the leader asks. “Given us aqueducts," volunteers one member; “built roads." “improved sanitation," says another. “Brought law and order.“ “Public baths." “Irrigation.” The leader hesitates: “Yes, but aside from that?" They spend lots of time discussing Parliamentary procedure. When their quarters are searched by Roman soldiers they hide by holding sheets in front of themselves or sticking their heads in baskets. Real bright. Their stupidity and the empty-headedness of the flock that comes to hail Brian as their savior are two factors that keep the film from being crudely anti-religious or anti-Christian. These people had a chance to hear Jesus preach, but they didn't listen very well, One of his hearers relates to another: “He said “Blessed are the cheesemakers'—he really means anyone involved in the dairy business. And “Blessed are the Greek.‘ That‘s nice." Their enthusiasm for Brian is sparked not by his teaching, but by his refusal to speak; anyone that quiet must know something they assume. They sanctify a shoe he loses and follow adoringly even when he abjures them with obsenities. One could make a very good case for the film's support of Christianity. 50 what's all the fuss about? The film is neither very funny nor very shocking. It has its moments, much the same way early Woody Allen had its moments—of both junk and genius. Woody Allen has grown up and developed a fine, comic discretion. Perhaps the Monty Python organization will too one day. I’m willing to give them another look when his circus files by next time around.
