But Thompson‘s influence at Augsburg goes way beyond the clock in the quad and the soon-to- be—hung cross in the chapel. Thompson is a founder of Augs- burg's an department. He was hired as the first full-time profes- sor of art in 1959. The department was made official the following year. “I‘ve taught just about every— thing." said Thompson. A variety of paintings and prints comprise Thompson's Show. which runs through October 21. Some of the oldest paintings are Thompson‘s renaissance—style .m "I think Jesse is stupid for making the com- ments but people are also stupid for getting Minnesota. Thompson has also worked with very experimental materials. like "interference" colors. interference colors are paints that have mica suspended in them. The colors look shiny from some angles. but can look very dull as the viewer moves around the piece. Carborundum powder is another common element in Thompson‘s work. He uses the strong abrasive powder to add texture and strong dark areas to prints. Recently. Thompson has experi- mented with different methods of printmaking. some of them involving tagboard and recycled packing material for plates. One of Thompson's most recent works at the show includes a stained-glass cross that will be “What do you think'hf Ventura’s Playboy interview}?- ‘t a " '7‘“?

I’ve been going around to different Catholic churches in St. Paul almost every Sunday. and would like to share some of my findings with you. Blessed Sacrament, located on White Bear and Lacrosse in East St. Paul, is my home church. It‘s a small. cross- shaped buiding. with beautiful stain-glass windows, an older congretaion. and a very enter- taining priest. St. Bemard‘s is located right on the comer of Maryland and Rice St. in St. Paul.

Their third priest likes to smile a lot and is also very friendly and outgoing. This church is by far one one of the larger ones I have visited during the course of my travels. The front mural in St. Bemard’s church is very inter- esting to look at, because at the very top of the mural. there is a clove that represents the Holy Spirit.

Printed with Print Group Midwest on recycled paper echo@augsburg.edu Big changes for the ELCA Jason Wegner Qpflmunity/Faith Editor W, In August, over 1000 people of the ELCA came together in Denver to discuss and vote on a number of issues. The controversial issue that dominated the assembly was a written document entitled “Called to Common Mission" and dealt with the issue of whether or not the ELCA should join in full commu- nion with the Episcopal Church USA.. The vast majority of the people were in favor of closer relations between the ELCA and the Episco- pal Church. with one exception: the validity of the Historic Episcopate. also known as Apostolic Suc- cession. This clause was necessary for the ELCA to accept if they wanted this proposal to pass. The Episcopal Church would have to adopt the teachings of the Augsburg Confession. the chief theological document for the Lutheran Church. This is some- thing that the Episcopal church has already done. This would be a big step the ELCA would need to make because it means that ELCA pastors will be able to serve in Episcopal Churches and vice versa. It would also invite Lutherans and Episcopalians to commune in one another‘s churches. The major opposition to this proposal came from the Upper Midwest. namely Minnesota and Wisconsin. where a large percentage of the ELCA is repre— sented. Some people in this area feel that the His- toric Episcopate is "historical fiction." as one Augsburg professor stated. Others cannot under- stand how the ELCA can make such a drastic change in the ideology of ordination. The Historic Episcopate changes the way that pas- tors are ordained. and bishops are selected. Cur- rently. ELCA pastors can be ordained by any ordained person in the church. “Called to Common Mission" states that a person seeking ordination must be ordained by a bishop. The proposal calls for bishops to serve a life term because they are no longer elected but considered direct descendants of the apostle Peter. Opponents to "Called to Common Mission” say that the Historic Episopate directly conflicts with a basic Lutheran theology that Luther called the “priesthood of all believers." Luther preached against Apostolic Succession during the Reformation and now Luther- ans are faced with it again today. The proposal did pass with 69% approval. but many say that it did not accurately represent the overall congregational opinion of the ELCA. The Episcopal Church has to approve the same proposal next sum- . met in order for it to go into effect. though. It is expected to pass with overwhelming approval. The reality is that the vast majority of members in the ELCA and the Episcopal Church USA will not feel the effects of this decision. if passed. The peo— ple who are truly affected by this decision are the people who plan on serving these two churches in ordained ministry. ‘ The debate will continue. but these two churches are well on their way to forming a close relationship.

The class was a collaboration between Augsburg and Norsk Laerakademi (Norwegian Teachers’ Academy. or NLA). v In Norway, we stayed aboard the Elieser 6, a ship docked in the Bergen Harbor that has hosted various church orga- nizations over the years. This ship became our home over the two-week course. It housed the living quarters, dining hall and classroom for the class. as well as transportation. However, our learning did not just take place on the ship. Several historical sites and excursions throughout Norway also served as our classroom. Our exhaustion from the long flight was easily forgotten by the breathtaking beauty of Bergen, the “Gateway to the Fjords.” When we arrived, we were greeted by Bard Hauge and Kjell Helge Kleppesto, faculty from NLA, who served as our hosts for the trip. Our daily schedule consisted of breakfast (frokost), then class for two hours, followed by Nysstapaker (late morning sandwich). Afternoons were filled with discussions about the material we were studying. This often occurred while we were traveling from place to place on the ship. Our friendly cooks upon the Elieser 6 never forgot lunch. At each meal, the long table was decked out with many of 'ronment which can‘t be explained Norway‘s traditional foods or the catch of the day from the fish mar- ket. After our scheduled events in the afternoon. we had the opportunity to explore the city on our own. shop at the market, hike a few of the seven surrounding mountains and meet the locals. And then there was supper.... Evenings were on our own. Events varied from long walks. talks. getting to know each other and hitting a few of the many pubs. Our class became our family as we learned about Norway. ourselves and the underlying controversy of the Church of Norway. We formed a bond through our com— mon experiences and living envi— with justice in this article. Professor David Anderson of the Youth and Family Institute and Bard Hauge were instru- mental in the success of this program. Their goal was to immerse the students in the culture and aid us in learning that exemplified the Augsburg Mission statement . . . “learning through experience.” Some of the highlights of the trip included swimming in the 35 degree Norwegian Sea, visiting composers‘ Edvard Greig’s and Ole Bull’s homes, four hour hikes through the Student Senate results The members of Church and Culture in Context in Bergen, Norway. ( mountains which overlooked indescribable landscape. eat- ing ice cream dipped in cocoa powder. a weekend tour of the Hardanger fjord and faith-challenging discussion with people on the trip. Overall the trip was a dream. It is not every day that one gets the opportunity to open the door and be greeted by the majesty of the mountains. We continued to remind each other that this trip was a reality. The class “Church and Cul— ture in Context" will never be forgotten. This week’s Homecoming events Grant Jordahl Staff erter Student Senate elections for Augsburg College were held on September 24 and 25. The freshman class had the greatest voter tum-out. electing four students to the senate. The sophomore class had two stu- dent elects: Lindsay Bonner and Patrick Brooks. No election was held for the juniors and no candidate elected from the senior class. Nick Heisick was elected for the freshman as student class presi— dent. The day before the elec- tion, Heisick was found riding the elevators in Umess Hall with his guitar. Anyone enter- ing the elevator was lucky enough to have Nick push his or her floor button and hear his campaign song. which stated, “Voting for Nick is good". Nick had this comment on the election “Never before and never after me will there be as great a president as myself." Other freshman representatives included (in order of votes received) Katie Olson, Nathan Johnson and Brad Motl. Surprisingly, Chris Winger received almost half as many votes as Nick despite being only a write-in candidate. This can be attributed to two things: l.I-le was with Nick in the elevator before the election. 2.He had an “interesting” campaign. If you saw the signs he had up then you know what I mean. All the representatives are look- ing forward to working hard in the best interests of the students at Augsburg. CNN Student News Brad Motl Staff writer 7 I know you’ve seen the signs around school. I know you want to know what these signs are about. Well here it is, this is the low-down on the CNN Student News Bureau. This week I had the privilege to talk to Cass Dalglish. a faculty advisor to the group. and Justin Hendrickson. Chief and Manag— ing Editor. Between them. I have compiled some information you might be interested in. The CNN Student News Bureau was created by CNN to allow stu- dents to create story ideas. and they shoot. edit. and report the stories. When the stories are complete, they can be sent to CNN in Atlanta. and possibly aired. The bureau’s number of partici— pants is small now. Dalglish fig- ures there will be about ten active members this year. That number is expected to rise as more people find out about the group. The CNN SB plan to meet twice a month. At meetings. they will mostly be working on stories that have either been suggested by CNN or that they have come up with. Emily Gerard , Statute .- 7.

First. they would like to have people with some experience in some aspect ofjoumalistic work. whether it be video production, reporting. writ— ing. or web site development. Second. Hendrickson said. “I want all members of our bureau to be willing to go the extra mile to make sure we are performing up to our potential." In conclusion. Hendrickson said, “Augsburg’s CNN Student Bureau gives students interested in any aspect ofjoumalism a chance to perfect their skills while performing on a national level."

Show moreOctober 8, 1999 page S FILM AND THE ARTS AS WE’RE CONCERNED Emily Nugent Staff Writer Movie Review: Double Jeopardy Grade: D+ Double Jeopardy has the star power. the money, and the incredible scenery to make what should be a great hit. Unfortunately. this far—fetched film barely makes it off the ground. Ashley Judd stars as the unfortunate victim of her evil hus- band’s killing/ fortune pillaging spree. On what should have been a happy trip out to sea on a rented yacht. he somehow manages to fake his own death and pin the blame on his wife. While serving her prison time. she discovers that her hus- band actually ran off with their nanny and is now in a dif— ferent state raising their son. In prison. she hears about a handy little clause to the Fifth Amendment called double jeopardy. According to this. she can actually kill her hus- band for real. seeing that she was already convicted of murder and served her sentence._ So she spends the rest of the movie buffing up and plotting his death. Somewhere in the middle of this she jumps parole, sending Tommy Lee Jones. who plays her parole officer. after her. The only thing that held this movie together was some weird kind of blood-lust for the husband that the audience got suckered into. The performance by Judd didn‘t hold my attention. Tommy Lee Jones was a big disappointment as well. He not only looked old and stodgy. but barely gave any kind of performance. An interesting idea. some well-known stars. and a little chasing and shooting does ’not a good action adventure make. We need some twists and turns. some level of mys— tery. But the final clincher of this film's mediocrity was the contrived. over-the-top final scene. Surprisingly low on special effects. this movie had little positive to offer. If movies could sail virtually plotless and if standards were based on pure theatricality. then maybe Double Jeopardy wouldn’t crash. Oh. and in case you are thinking about killing that pesky husband of yours. the double jeopardy clause doesn't quite work in that way. Interesting idea for a movie. maybe. but not a Gospel Praise to perform at Symposium Kathryn Koch A&E Editor The Augsburg College Jazz and Gospel Praise ensemble under the direction of Dr. Robert Stache. is gearing up for a very busy semester.

Adam Roesch Staff Writer CD Review: Whitney Houston: My Love Is Your Love - Remix Maxi-single (Arista) Grade: B+ Whitney Houston has got to be one of the best singers of this decade. Artfully combining soul. personality. and virtudsity into every song she‘s recorded in this decade. With one sung phrase. she could shame every single wannabe R&B/pop singer in the recently suc- cessful Backstreet Boys/Britney Spears category. “My Love Is Your Love." penned and produced by Wyclef Jean of the Fugees has got to be the first post-millennial love ballad to get much attention. Whitney sings. “lfl wake up in World War Three / I see destruction and poverty /And I feel like I wanna go home / It‘s okay. if you‘re conring with me." And “home” isn’t her parent‘s place. as she lets us know earlier with her speak of Judgment Day. She doesn’t seem to be preparing for a Y2K disaster by stocking up on guns and grain. but by getting her soul in order for salva- tion, through the loving of her partner, “I’ll be waiting for you after Judgement Day.” she sings at the song’s climax. Though this may sound like a silly concept. Whitney‘s beauti— ful voice. and Wyclef‘s simply arranged shuffling beat sell it as one of the most earnest love songs ever cut into a CD. Following in the pattern set by Whitney’s two other singles this year (“Heartbreak Hotel" and “It‘s Not Right But It‘s Okay"). the remix single for “My Love Is Your Love“ does not contain the original version (which is quite a bummer) and runs nearly an hour. with several remixes showing up in short. and long instrumental versions called “Radio.” "Club." and “Dub.” respectively. Wyclef weighs in with a heavier shufile in his hip-hoppier remix. Unfortunately. he tar- nishes the song with his own vocals. rhyming “Prince of Egypt" and “Paraplegic.” and his much more trivial concerns than Whitney‘s. Still. he disappears after the first 45 seconds and the rest is smooth. Salaam Remi contributes a light drum and bass remix that's good. but not amazing. By far the best remix is by Jonathan Peters. whose mid—tempo house radio mix finds the perfect balance between the beats and Whitney's voice. matching her emotion well. But it‘s really Peter‘s fourteen—minute club mix that steals the show. In this epic track. Peters takes us through the turmoil of Armageddon. with dark beats and strings. to the promised land of danceable. yet lovingly. soft beats and a chorus gently cooing before we hear Whitney‘s verses. Thunderpuss 2000. who did a great job remixing "It‘s Not Right. . . show with their remix of “My Love. . . “ that any talent shown on the first remix was accidental. It all would have worked well had they not time—compressed Whitney‘s vocals to fit their beat. Though it's got sexy funk of a house beat. hearing Whitney double-time over a beat just sounds wrong. making both vocal \ ersions the only tracks on this CD wonh skipping. The single is finished off with a bonus remix of "It's Not Right. . . " by KCC. which unfortunately pairs the angry vocals with a soft and loving house mix that would have worked much better with "My Love. . . " Despite the misdirection of the Thunderpuss 2000 and KCC mixes. the brilliance of Peter‘s mix and the fact that \Nhitney‘s great singing can be found throughout more than make up for these problems. Baron Von Manilowe Staff Writer CD Review: The String Cheese Incident: Round the Wheel Rating: Poor Go Away! That is what the general consensus was whenever this ('D was being played in order to write this review. The String Cheese lncident's third effort. "Round the Wheel" is a hodgepodge of musical styles that range from easy listening. to light funk and blue grass. The unifying element that holds all these styles together in this group is that what ever the end result is. it is sure to absolutely suck. There are a few rare moments of decency on this album. like the banjo backing on the bluegrass ditty “Restless Wind " However. the album as a whole sounds like someone recorded some Mu/ak from the lobby of a random Perkins and mass distributed it. making the rev icwer w rsh that he toultl be as lucky as that cop in Reservoir [Mgr who got his car cut off. The lyrics on llll\ effort are exactly that: an effort. The words are vomited out in a rain of generic-ism like a bcatrrrl. poet who is trying t0o hard. It is no small wonder that the gem of a narnc."'l‘hc String Cheese Incident." was generated from these sorry freaks. The String Cheese Incidents concens. or "incidents." as they are so cleverly called by the two fans they probably have. are very imprmisatronal and unique. with many solos atop the annoying backing progressions. Done with a slew of randorrr instruments. which I guess is supposed to show their learned musicianship. thcsc solos tend to last an average time of three to four days. impressing even the most devout fans of Lynard Skyrrard's “Freebird.” In short. there are a lot of bands out there, don‘t waste your time on this one l-rnd some thing more productive to do like reading a book. or hitting your foot with a hammer until you can‘t feel it.

Briefs: The Nation, The World Missile system passes key test A prototype national missile defense system passed a critical test on Saturday. intercepting and destroy- ing an unarmed missile on a 16.000-mph collision course over the Pacific. The defender was the Raytheon-built Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle. a 55— inch—long. l20—pound device carried aloft on a booster rocket. The system is designed to destroy missiles launched by rogue states or terrorists, not a multi—missile barrage from a major nuclear power. Rebels release American hostage Leftist rebels on Saturday released an American hostage. one of 41 passengers and crew seized in the mid-April hijacking of a domestic flight, offi- cials said. Daniel Hoffman was released by guerril- las of the National Liberation Army and flown by helicopter to a clinic in Bucaramanga. 185 miles northeast of the capital Bogota. said Mauricio Geremia. a Red Cross spokesman. Geremia did not say why Hoffman had been released. or describe his physical condition. London rail crash kills 8 Two commuter trains collided at rush hour near London's Paddington Station on Tuesday morning. killing at least eight and injuring more than 100.'

President Clinton called on the nation Sat- urday to reject the type of hatred that led to shoot- ings in California and the Midwest.

Bernstein explained that the comments regarding religion were made in connection with the issues of drug abuse and prostitu— tion. Ventura believes organized religion is used as an excuse to avoid dealing with those topics. “He shouldn‘t take back what he said because he meant what he said and he will stand by it. . . he‘s not politics as usual." stated Bern~ stein. As far as winning back the l9 points Ventura lost due to the nasty comments. Bernstein believes the Governor can do it. “I honestly do. . .

McNefiheadsuptheplanning mmflmuismchxgeof AlthoughAltonhasbeenworking atthecollegeforalmostfour deeadesnow.heisadamantthat hewillretirewhentheyearis over. , Larry Crockett is the only one of the three that is not planning his retirementattheendofthisyear, but even Crockett is unsure of whether or not he will keep his interim position. “My understand- ing with the Dean of the College was that I could return (to the Honors program) upon comple- tion of this assignment . . . I am assuming I will return to Honors until I know otherwise." How- ever. he did mention in an inter— viewlastweekthatheisopento remainingathiscurrentposition iftheCollegewishesforhimto serveinthatmanner. When asked why he changed job positions, Crockett answered, “I have long felt that people ought nottodothesamethingyearafter year, without variation. Change is often a stimulus for new pro- ductivity.” He did mention, how- ever, that the change was not born out of a weariness for Honors. Joan Grifiin, who stepped down last year from her position of co— director of freshmen honors, has taken Crockett’s place as Interim Director of the Honors program. On a separate note, the Dean’s offices have moved to the Chris— tensen Center, and are now. located behind the information desk. Alton and Crockett both have their offices inside the suite. Augnetcontinaed from page 1 account can be accessed from anywhere in the world, unlike the old system of Eudora. When this new system is updated- hopefully sometime in October— students will also be able to look up financial information, check grades. and download class syl- labi. “And by next year," said Anderson. “students will be able to do on-line registration as well.“ Another reason for this change in the system is that in the last few years. the college has had prob- lems with non—Augsburg-associ— ated people using the computers for free internet, free entail, and free printing. Because of this, Augsburg students have been unable to use the computers when they needed them. “You are the ones paying for these computers," said Buechler, “so you should be able to use them." As of now, students and staff are unable to print from pub- lic computers if they are not logged on to the system. In the future. computer use will be denied completely unless users are logged in. "lhis is the col- lege's way of making sure the computers are used by the stu- dents and stafl' of Augsburg only," said Buechler.

Certainly, there have been great benefits to our society from the use of rational, objective thought processes. But, we also know that our society is out-of—balance in many ways and that we are in des— perate need of change. Yet. in coping with our problems we con- tinue to use the same strategy of applying rational thought processes as the only way to restore balance. I believe this is a mistake. Balance will enter our lives and real solutions will develop when we begin to see faith as a truly significant and meaningful factor in our collec— tive lives. Faith is what we need to balance or compliment reason. My intent as a teacher has been to help both reason and faith develop in my students. This has been my main challenge in trying to be an effective teacher—to provide a balance of these and other oppor— tunities for reason and faith to co. mingle.

This is the second year in a row the Auggies have gotten off to a 2-0 start. Hoping to extend their winning streak. the Auggies played host to the St. Olaf Oles last Saturday. The rivals from Northfield haven‘t had the best of luck in their first few games. with a record of 0-2 so far. Augsburg got off to a quick lead when Jake Kern blocked an attempted punt by the Oles. which led to a touchdown with 4:03 left in the first quarter. St. Olaf responded, though, with 26 seconds left in the first quarter and scored on a 52 yard pass. The extra point failed. so Augsburg still held the lead. The Auggies never trailed in this game. The second quarter was dominated by the Auggies defense. gar- nering 2 interceptions by Rob Just. along with a quarterback sack. forcing an Ole fumble. The offense also had a hand in the action. with Matt Van Alstine kicking the longest field goal of his career (37 yards). St. Olaf also kicked a field goal with 3 minutes remaining. Augsburg managed to gain 135 yards of total offense in the first half. Paul Tetzolff.went 7-17 with 1 inter- ception for 85 yards. Brian Warden rushed 18 times for 50 yards. The 3rd quarter was fairly un—eventful up until the 5 minute mark. With 4:34 left in the 3rd quarter. Tet- zloff threw a 25 yard touchdown pass to Mark John- son. The extra point was blocked. but the Auggies extended their lead to 16-9. The defense came up huge again. stop- ping St. Olaf with 29 seconds left in the 3rd quarter. Andy Howard intercepted the ball in the end—zone. preventing another possible St. Olaf touchdown. Augsburg struck quickly again in the 4th quarter. scoring a touchdown 2: 15 sec~ onds in. Tetzloff hooked up again with Johnson for a 24 yard touchdown recep—, tion. Augsburg jumped to a 23—9 lead until St. Olaf came back with a 1 yard rushing touchdown. St. Olaf then scored another field goal shortening the Auggie lead to 23—19. Augsburg jumped right back. though, when Brian Warden scored from the 6 yard line with 1:52 left in the game. But St. Olaf wouldn’t give up that easily. The Oles scored another touchdown a made the 2 point conversion with 32 seconds left to go in the game. The Oles tried an onside kick but to no avail. Tetzloff ran the rest of the time out by taking a knee. Tetzloff went 20—39 with l interception for 297 yards in the Auggies victory. Warden rushed for 76 yards on 26 attempts. Next week. the Auggies head into St. Johns for their homecoming game. Both teams are undefeated. so it should be a good match up. The Auggies next home game is on October 9th against Gustavus Aldophus. The game starts at 1:00 and is also the Auggies homecoming game. so bring your Auggie pride and help Augsburg keep their undefeated streak.

Now. that was hcartachc. 1 did not make that mistake again this year. Instead I drove home. called up a few buddies and watched football the way it was meant to be watched. We grilled some brats. ate some chips. and drank a few beers. We sat in my living room for four hours that aftcmoon. and didn't miss a play: Before the game started we turned on the radio so we could listen to the great Packer announcers. Max McGee and Jim lrwin. but they weren‘t on. They retired after last season and the guys who took their place were definitely not Max Mchc or Jim lrwin. Then we turned up the volume on the TV. Who did we get'.‘ John Madden. Seriously. who likes John Madden? So my buddies and 1 made our own corn- mcntary. What we had to say was ten times better than what Madden or the new guys on the radio said. A few choice words did slip out of our mouths regarding the refs. the Vikings players. Denny Green. and pretty much all peo- plc associated with thc Vikings. But. besides that we were completely impartial. While watching the game my friends and 1 got so nervous we banished my mom to the basement. She was bad luck. 1 mean holy cow. every time she was in the room the Pack— crs got a penalty or the Vikings scored. We didn't want to take any chances. Poor Mom. she missed a heck of a game. I know all you Vikings fans are now looking forward to late December. hoping a Packer loss at the Dome is under the Christmas tree. Just so you know when that game comes I‘m not holding back. Mom isn't even going to see the pregame show. World Cup team). Navarre had many reasons for making the trip up north. including fam- ily and education. His parents are from Wisconsin and his girlfriend is from Minneapolis. so he feels close to home here at Augsburg. He is also looking to further his education by completing his Ph.D.. hopefully at the University of Minnesota. His long—term goal has always been to teach and coach at the same time. and Division [11 is able to give him that opportunity. He enjoys coaching both men and women and says that “women are easier to coach but it is harder to inspire them to want to compete and to understand how hard they can compete." It‘s been a learning process for both the players and Navarre himself. The key players for the men are Morgan Davidsen in goal. Eric Roy and Hugo Quintiliano as the playmakers. and Scott Dossett as the goal scorer. Brenda Selander is the major offensive force for the women‘s team while Tina Olstead is the defensive anchor. Sarah Vemer and Kali Koshnick are the playmakers in the midfield. On Saturday the women‘s team plays at the University of St. Thomas at 1:00 pm. and the men's team plays at home against the Tommies at 4:30.

Show moreOctober 1, 1999 £3 Faith 85 Community page 6 First Annual Augsburg ‘ Youth Summit A Success Jason Wegner Faith and Community Editor The quantity of people was small. but the quality of people was spectacular. Last weekend. twenty-seven high school students from Lutheran congregations in the metro area and Wisconsin came together to improve on their leader- ship skills in their respective congregations. The event. which was the first annual Augsburg Youth Summit.was entitled. “Living the Hope of the City.“ Its focus was on ministry in an urban setting with an emphasis on worship style. outdoor recreation. and urban service. Professional musicians came to offer their musical gifts in worship and in the workshops. Echelon. Speiro. and Augs- burg‘s own Ray Make ever worked with some of the youth to help them better understand how music could make worship a more meaningful experience. Other youth went out and volunteered at Sharing and Car— ing Hands and Mary‘s Place to experience how service is not only a way to help others. but also a way to serve God Wegner, Kelly Donahue, Jackie Heyda and Adam Petrella by serving others. “The youth felt good about helping oth- ers and seeing Jesus in the people’s faces.” said Sarah Grans. co-leader of the urban service event. Another group went on a twenty-five mile bike tour of the city to experience first-hand the hope that was in the city. While biking. the youth experienced hope through the smiling faces of strangers. The bikers stopped outside the Target Center to hear a quick devotion. As the devotion was being read. people on their way to buy Bruce Springsteen tickets slowed their pace to hear what was being said. The Recreation Depart- ment also handed out water bottles to the weary riders at Minnehaha Falls. These were just a few of the many signs that there is hope in this city. Ross Murray. co-chair of the Summit, thought “[the Summit] went very well. the weekend had variation to it to keep it exciting.” He told me that he received posi- tive feedback from the youth directors and from the youth themselves. Overall. the event was a hit and plans are slated for another youth summit next fall. Fall Retreat: Leadership Retreat: TREtreats are a great time to meet lother people and to relax.

September 5th. his- tory was made in the Hoversten Chapel at Augsburg College. For the first time in one hundred years, Trinity Lutheran Church held a worship service with Bethany Lutheran Church. This service was a collaboration between Augsburg Campus Min- istry, Bethany Lutheran Church, and Trinity Lutheran Church. This was the first time that Cam- pus Ministry had joined efforts with either church for a welcome service at the beginning of the academic year. In previous years. Campus Min- istry has joined with Trinity for a service during Homecoming week. There was another historic event that happened on this past Labor Day weekend. Bethany was previously a part of the Trinity congregation. but in 1899 split off to form their own church. The cause of their split was over a very controversial issue for that time. Melchior Falk Gjertsen, the head pastor at Trinity, had established a romantic relationship with 3 mar- ried woman while on a preaching mission to Norway. This relation- ship was discovered after an anonymous letter was written and mailed to the woman, and hand- writing experts confirmed that Gjertsen was the author. , A group of Trinity parishioners led by George Sverdrup were the leaders in his resignation. Follow- ing his split from Trinity Church. Gjertsen’s supporters left with him to form Bethany Lutheran Church. The service held Labor Day weekend began with a welcome by Pastor Paul Rogers of Trinity, the prayers were led by Pastor Steve Benson of Bethany, and the sermon was given by Pastor Sonja Hagander of Augsburg. The music was led by Augsburg Orientation Leaders Lindsay Bon- ner, Katie Koch and Allison Heimkes. It was an historic day for every- one involved.

Printed with Print Group Midwest on recycled paper Marti’s Pizza continued from page 3 reminder of the energy that once flowed through that small room. I gained a lot of who I am now from Marti’2, a healthy disrespect for authority and an expanded political and social consciousness. But most importantly I gaineda greater knowledge of self, through the love of this music as a passionate. angst rid- den. danceable. fun, happy. sad, ambient, introspective. politically and socially aware. and always young, loud. and snotty voice. Author Jon Savage concluded his biography of the Sex Pistols. England ’3 Dreaming. by saying. “ history is made by those who say no. and punk‘s eternal utopian heresies remain its gift to the world." Now maybe Marti‘s Pizza won‘t be remembered in the hal- lowed halls of rock and roll nostalgia, and maybe it's not even quite sex. drugs. and I don‘t know. whatever it was. it was our music. it was our voice. it was our heretical gift to the world. and we all had one hell of a time while it lasted. Even though Marti‘s Pizza has been closed for years now. it’s spirit still lives on in the continuing Mankato punk scene. So. I say to Marti's Pizza. you are. and always will be missed in the hearts and minds of many. thank you. rest in peace. People to’kno" ‘ campusflinim: 3 Show less

Show moreOctober 1 , 1999 é’éFeatures page 3 “works in Graphite and Clay” Art exhibit now Showing in Gage Gallery By Jennifer Rensenbrink Staff writer ' If you don’t like it, change it. Then maybe it will change you. At least that’s what happened to Augsburg art pro- fessor Norm Holen, who is currently showing his drawings and clay sculpture in the Gage Gallery (Lindell Library). ' Holen dramatically changed his drawing style in 1991. Before then, he had been starting with line drawings, then filling in shading. But then he got bored. ' “I was tired of drawing the old way,” said Holen. “I had to change because it was becoming too easy and automatic." Holen also changed his pottery style at this time. He experimented with different kinds of clay and differ— ent forms, including the use of slabs instead of coils. “All my clay sculptures are ‘something,’ like a teapot or vase, but they’re not what you would expect a teapot or vase to look like,” said Holen. As a result of these changes, Holen gained a revital- ized interest in his art that led him to create the drawings and pottery now on display at the library. “You can just sit down and decide to make an abrupt change. It doesn’t have to evolve," said Holen. “Works in Graphite and Clay," the title of the show, features drawings from Holen’s corn series. The drawings are very large and elaborate. From far away, they seem clear and realistic, but become more abstract as the viewer moves closer to the work. Holen says in order to create these drawings. he first went out into the corn field and photographed what he saw. ‘ This has been a common practice among artists since the invention of the camera. Many famous artists, including Chuck Close, Thomas Eakins. and even Edvard Munch have used this method. Holen drew from the photographs to create enor- mous pencil drawings. The show also features large, elaborate drawings of people and Holen’s pottery. Professor Holen has taught sculpture, drawing, and pottery at Augsburg since 1964. He is also very active in his own studio, producing works such as the ones in the show and metal sculpture. _ Aaron Voge/Echo 1999 Co-Editors. Erica Huls and Laura Waldon Greetings Readers! Welcome back to yet another year of the Augsburg ECHO. As always, a new year has brought two new Co-Editors to the College’s newspaper; Laura Waldon and Erica Huls. We would like to tell you a little bit about ourselves: Laura Waldon is an English major and Sociology minor in her Junior year at Augsburg; At the end of last year. she was approached to be the editor for the ECHO this semester, and because she is interested in seeing if journalism may be a part of her future career, she accepted the position. At the beginning of September, the paper was in need of a co—editor, so Erica Huls came to the res- cue. Erica is a Junior as well, majoring in English and Mass Communications She is possibly look- ing at going into the Public Relations field and is very positive about the upcoming experience of working for a paper. Please bear with us as we learn the ropes of run- ning an entire newspaper. If you feel we could do some things better. feel free to get in contact with us. If you would like to tell us what a good job we’re doing, feel free to contact us as well. We’re always looking for writers so if you’re interested, stop in at the ECHO office! New residence hall as of September 1999. Life in the “New Hall” By Kendra J. Hines Staff Writer When I was told I would be living in a brand new dorm on campus I thought. “How lucky can I get!" Being a transfer student who uses a wheelchair. I thought for sure I would be stuck in this little tiny room where there‘s hardly enough space to turn around. Needless to say, I was quite impressed with the “new hall." It‘s actu- ally more like an apartment building than a typical dorm. The apart- ment that I share with my three roommates has four private bedrooms. two bathrooms, and a living room. The kitchen allows us to miss a few delectable cafeteria meals now and then with its full-size refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher. There is also ample storage space for all the necessities of college life. We even have Ethernet connections and free basic cable now. However. there’s still a lot of work to be done. Every morning for the past week, I have been awakened by the sounds of construction, and there are always people in the hallways touching up paint or tile work. One afternoon as l was coming back from class, I noticed that both wheelchair accessible entrances to the building had been blocked off. I was then told to use the garage entrance. It was at this point that 1 dis- covered my access card had not yet been programmed for the garage entrance. As a result, in order to enter the building. I had to wait for someone else with access to come and open the door for me. Aside from my access card difficulties, I also had trouble leaving the building. The switch to open the garage from the inside was placed up so high that I had to carry a big stick with me in order to open it. Thankfully, my access card is finally programmed. and now when you get close enough to the door, it opens automatically. And even though there is still a lot of work to be done. the “new hall“ is a great place to live! Creative Marti’s Pizza Dene Deterinen Staff Writer Six pm, Sunday November 6th, 1994, two hundred kids stand huddled together freezing in the twenty degree cold as they loiter on the sidewalk up and down South Front St. in dire anticipation. A few skaters clash their boards against the curb, along the bus stop benches, and block the traffic flow as they try to get in a few last flippy tricks before the impending snow and unusable streets set in. Mohawks, spike studded leather jackets and sweatshirts, dog collars and chains, hair shaded to every color of the rainbow, skate jeans, combat boots, Airwalks, and a vast army of punk bands represented on various t-shirts, stock- ing caps, and patches, adorn the city block. ' Did the Circus come to town you may ask? Hardly, it was the night NOFX and Face to Face played at Mani's Pizza! My friends and I had been waiting over a month for this sacred event to take place. We had been counting down the days every since the mm was made official that NOFX and Face to Face. two of my all time favorite punk bands, were coming to Mankato--to our little scene,——to Marti's Pizza. I'll never forget NOFX‘s singer Fat Mike, (as his nickname goes) blasting out the lyrics to “Bob” one of my all time favorite songs. Meanwhile. Guitarist El Hefe, strokes the accompanying Ska upbeats on his guitar, and the mosh pit explodes! A mass catharsis of kids slam dancing, skankin‘. and pogoing their brains out in sued, with yours truly stage diving, crowd surfing, and moshing, until every last fiber of my being had been completely exhausted. and then some. Marti‘s Pizza, an old abandoned restaurant, in its second years of post existence as a collectively run concert venue, became the cornerstone of the Mankato punk scene. It was landmark in the hearts and minds of countless kids. and it changed my life by turning me, an introverted geek, into a slam dancing, punk-loving fool. I can still remember being invited to my first ever Marti’s show the summer before my senior year in high school. The show, like many of the shows at Marti‘s, consisted of a few local bands playing for their friends, who were also in bands. But the show was unlike anything I had ever experi- enced before, kids expressing their fears. frustrations. hap- piness, silliness, angst, and just plain passion, through this loud, raw, stripped down, three chord, primal music. Often the bands were made up of kids who really couldn't play that well, but no one really seemed to notice the lack of talent. A friend once told me that the reason she loved punk so much was because she had noticed that anyone who had ever dabbled in it, even slightly. always came away with some of its aesthetics forever imprinted on their conscious- ness. And as for my friends and I, Marti‘s was where we found a voice through music. The list of bands that have played there is virtually endless; The Offspring, NOFX. All. Rancid, Face to Face. My Friend Stu, Youth Breakfast, Floodplain, Do-over, Puck, Down by Law, Threadbare, Marble, and the list goes on and on. Some of the bands were local, some of them are now defunct, and some were on MTV. Once, during the band Tom] Chum” set, singer Rob Chaos kicked a hole in the plastered wall to the left of the stage. A year and a half later. after Mani‘s had closed and hand been turned into a Vietnamese restaurant, my friend who was eating their one night inquired to the manager about the hole that was still there. “ Those damn kids used to play their rock and roll here. and I can't seem to get that hole completely covered up thanks to them," replied the restaurant Manager. Even now as I've toned down my attire drastically over the years, and only on occasion frequent a punk show, I still pride myself on knowing that that l was one of ‘thosc damn kids.‘ And maybe that hole in the wall is an eternal see “Maui’s Pizza” page 8 Show less

Earl Alton, former Associate Dean. for Faculty Affairs, has taken her place as Interim Vice President of Academic and Learning Services and Dean of the College, and Larry Crockett, former head of the Honors department, has replaced Alton as Interim Associate Dean for Faculty McNeff and Alton plan on retiring at , the end of the 1999-2000 academic school year, and so none of the posi- tions just mentioned seem to be per- manent. A nation—wide search is cur- rently being conducted by the college to replace McNeff as Dean. The Academic Master Planner is a new position this year, created in line with the College‘s strategic plan. The planner “sets the stage for academic programs down the road," stated Alton. “Marie decided essentially that she was going to be the Academic Master Planner since she is planning on retiring at the end of this year.” The task of the planner focuses on strengthening programs, looking at education and majors, and working with the Teagle Grant. which deals with interdisciplinary studies. “There’s a real opportunity to strengthen and sharpen the focus on the academic program,” said Alton. Alton himself has seen a switch in his area of vocation. His former position as Associate Dean worked closely with the Center for Professional Development. Honors, Academic Advising. and a host of other pro- grams here on campus. As Dean, he oversees the broader area of academic learning. which involves basically everything on campus. He also sits on the president’s College Council, com— posed of the vice-presidents and Pres- ident Frame. “The scope of the workload is much different and much broader." explained Alton. “It‘s much more looking at the student learning processes."

Norm retired from the Depart- ment‘of Psychology at the end of the 1998-1999 academic year ing. For many Augsburg students. and college students around the world, college is about achieving a balance; a balance between aca- demics and socializing. family and friends. faith and reason. Norm Ferguson spent his career trying to help his students find and maintain that balance. The following is an excerpt of the speech Norm made last May at his farewell reception. We wish him luck. happiness, and above all a sense of balance as he enjoys life after teaching. Thanks Norm! Reflections on_College Teaching Norm Ferguson ' Part of me is an idealist and I’ve always thought of my work here at 'Augsburg in the context of a quote attributed to the comic strop character Pogo who said. "We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities!" I really do believe this and it has been a great chal- lenge for me. Part of this chal— lenge comes from the belief that our society is very much out-of- balance and that much of our education system is too. So, a theme I've applied to my teaching is that of attempting to create balance. Let me give you a few examples of what I mean. One challenge has been for me to be clear about what education is and what it is not. I think that too often we use the terms education and learning as synonyms. They are not. Education is a specific form of learning, so that not all learning qualifies as education. Education is leaming that is meaningful to the learner. If it is not meaningful, it is not educa— .tional. see “Norm” page 7 Aaron Voge! Echo Larry Crockett, Interim Associate Dean of Academic Affairs.

Students will also he allowed to bring beer or other alcoholic beverages to consume in class. and students as well as professors are granted an excused “hangover” absence from class. “Too many members of the Augs- burg community are segregating themselves on this one day a year. feeling the need to seek inebria- tion alone or in small cliques." Frame said. Frame went on to mention that he has the support of the entire Augsburg administra- tion with this decision. “This was not a rash or immediate decision. I‘ve been trying to get this through sincc Case Day last year. at which I had much fun ‘partying down‘ with groups of students. It was much to my chagrin that the entire student body could not con- gregate in one place and celebrate the fine spring day that God had given us. but rather had to be sequestered in individual rooms," Frame also surprised those attend- ing Chapel by announcing that he would buy cases (24-can packs 00 beer to certain students. Stu» dents 2! years of age or older may file a “Free Beer Applica— tion“ with the president's office. This form must be signed by a staff or faculty member who knows the student well enough to vouch that the student is willing and able to “fully panicipate in the spirit of Case Day." While the meaning of this is not explic— itly given. it is generally under stood that this means a students should drink the case in the 24 hour period that is Case Day.

I noticed many people who could not drink and definitely should not drink and entire case of beer. I do not want these peo- ple to drink my beer. These peo- ple should only buy small quantities of beer and drink them. or they would waste. The father of our religion. Martin Luther. would not have it that way. He would imbibe the entirety of the hops-flavored malt beverage that he could acquire. It is therefore not in our Lutheran mission to supply lightwieght drinkers with beer." Students applying for free beer are given the c_hoice of Busch Light. Rolling Rock, and Grain Belt Premium. Their selection is not necessarily guaranteed to be the beer they will receive. No options are currently available for those who do not drink alcohol for medical or personal reasons. Ann Garvey has announced that she will provide 20 boxes of wine to students who do not wish to drink beer. Students preferring the box of wine are to submit a completed “Free Beer Applica- tion" with the word “beer” crossed out and replaced with “wine” to her office.

The ACC released its official list: Girls of the ACC. This list. according to an ACC spokesman, took approximately 2 months to compile. The were 20 girls on the original list. and, through a rigorous selection process. that list was narrowed to a final 5 girls. The ACC decided to compile the list in order to present the right image. “Originally. we just used ‘con- servative,‘ to pick up chicks.“ John Trevorson, President of the ACC, said. In an effort to shed their that conservative label, the ACC selected their 5 top girls. “It was a grueling process, but a fun one!" exclaimed one mem— her. In an official statement in the magazine. the ACC wrote. “We thought in order to become more liberal. we'd take Clinton‘s exam- ple and run with it." Student Body President David Asp was extremely excited to see the great news. “There’s really no better feeling than realizing Augs- burg‘s student groups are getting recognition--especially in something I read daily. I go to all the meetings and I‘m always--always—-on time." Larry Flynt. publisher of Hustler was excited to see them in Playboy. “It‘s good to see this. I hope I can get that kind of press for my paper. I love con- servatives and their views on pornography.“ The ACC felt that most people would never believe that they would be published in a national magazine like Playboy.

However, many came from the Atlantic coast. One member was quoted as saying he liked the “east coast honeys."

Minneapolis police were the first to arrive on the scene. David Asp was the last. They subdued him before the ambulance arrived. Putting him in a straight-jacket took almost an hour one eye-witness said. FEW WEEKS AGO, WE WERE ALL treated to a special surprise as we received our dinner upstairs from Marriott. Was it ‘ that the food tasted better'.7 I don't see how that is ‘ possible. but. no. It was. of course. the new soft ‘ serve ice cream machine. Over the next few weeks I watched as students with joy on their faces pre- tended they were expert Dairy Queen employees as they pulled the slot machine-like levers producing chocolate. vanilla. or the coveted “swirl” flavor. But is this ice cream really the good clean joy that everyone seems to think it is? It might come as no shock to learn that No Frills began providing ice _ cream for their patrons at about the same time Augs- ; burg received our wonderful machine. But other businesses have also jumped into the ice—cream-pro- viding ring. 15 ice cream secretly plotting the take over of our civilized society? All through my child- trol. Just consider what Augsburg Freshman Lindsay Bonner said just days after eating the new soft serve. “It‘s the best thing that's happened [other than meeting Brendan Heimkcs to me since coming to this school." Does this sound like the comments of a normal freshman girl who should be much more concerned with getting a date than twist ice cream? I think not. Mind control is the only viable explana- tion. 50 now that we've established that ice cream is an intelligent force to be reckoned with. and that president David Asp is always late. we have to worry about another problem. It is obvious that soft serve ice cream and regular ice cream are very dif- ferent and clearly there is tension between them. This can only mean one thing.
