Simon Lagree has traded in Uncle Tom's Cabin for a new plantation. His new setup includes a modern slave— house, called Uncle Urness' Tower. Simon's new slaves jump at the chance to bow to his unreasiinable demands and remain in their expected lowly place. I became aware of this situation me night as I sat in the Tower lounge watching the inhabitants obediently rush into the dorm at 10:30 p. m. It seems they had a floor meeting to attend at which they were to discuss and vote on the possibility of eliminating hours for women living in the dorm. I consider- ed applauding the large number of girls who had enough interest in the affairs of their dorm to go to such a meeting but, realizing that the girls never do anything about their slave status except complain to their roomates, I ques- tioned a few of the girls. They didn't let me down. The reason for the good Lttendance was an automatic fine of an unknown amount (later disclosed to be 00) which was to be imposed on ev— ery girl not attending the meeting. It was rumored that Simon, an under— standing master, gave his associates, known as counselors, the power to re- duce the fine to $1. 00 if the girl had a good excuse for missing, preferably her own funeral. The slaves in Urness Tower have calmly hung their heads, shuffled their feet and mumbled "yes master" to a lot of assinine demands, but accepting fines for miSSing floor meetings deserves some kind of an award. i‘ney've swal- lowed their pride and their nerve, if the; ever had any, and allowed the Head Resident to dictate when they can leave the dorm and what time they can be back. They even fill out little slips of cardboard that list where the girls went, with who, and what time they'll be back. Demonstrating the Christian heri- tage of Augsburg, the Head Resident E allows the girls fifteen Grace Minutes. I That means that they can come in late a combined total of fifteen minutes each term. If they go over fifteen minutes the Head Resident's secret weapon goes into effect: the fine. p Girls unquestioningly enjoy paying fines for a variety of things ranging from sleeping in the lounge or coming in late to talking to som eone after they've signed in or jumping in the elevator. A first floor counselor recently warned _ that the dorm has a Special way that it can tell whenever anyones been jump- ing in the elevator. I guess they look for foot—holes in the floor. Anyway, the girls are even fined for not paying fines when they should. The next step would seem to be fining the girls for not earnng a minimum number of fines. Judging from previous reactions of the girls, they'll be only too happy to pay, all the while muttering thanks to the dormitory administration for not hold— g ing public whippings. , Recently a new poiicy has come in- ‘3 to existence.

The game was a fitting finale for veteran Auggie coach Ernie Anderson's career as. the stubborn Augs repulsed repeated St. Johns rallies during the second half to gain the victory. The win also was significant in that it left the team with a 13-13 over-all season re- cord and clinched a fourth place finish in the conference standings with a 10- 6 finish. Augsburg rode the crest of 53 per cent team shooting during the first half and a full game percentage of 49. Almost as hot as the Augs' shooting was the general temper of the game; the officials lost control of the teams early so elbowing and shoving on both sides turned the contest into a "foot— ball" game. MIAC all- conference guard Dick Kelley was high point man with 19 des- pite fouling out with eight minutes to play. John Ew ert was second to Kell- ey with 14 points, and freshman Shel- don Anderson added 13. Prospects for continued team im- provement this next season are bright since Augsburg will lose no players through graduation. The majority of next year's team members will be juniors. Show less

LLOYD RAYMOND TO'REPLACE HIM by Terry Blue Twenty—three year veteran Augs- burg College basketball coach Ernie Anderson has resigned his post and has been replaced by Lloyd (Butch) Raymond. During his tenure as coach, Anderson has also served as athletic director and chairman of the depart- ment of health and physical ed ication. He will continue to discharge his dut- ies in each of these ca; acities. Before his retirement coach Ander- son had the most victories (227) of any active college coach in Minneso— ta. This record was aided in good measure by the fine performance of Auggie teams during the "golden years" of 1963, 1964, and 1965 when Augs- burg captured three consecutive MIAC titles. During this period the Augs also won national recognition by fielding ratings among the top ten small college teams in the country. The 1963 and 1965 teams made trips to the NAIA national basketball tournament with the 1965 team reach- ing the quarter finals before being beaten by the eventual national champ- ion. In 1965 Ernie was elected to the NAIA executive committee and has since served the body in various cap- acities. Earlier this month he assum- ed the Presidency of the NAIA and will continue in this post throughout the coming year. Anderson's successor Butch Ray- mond is a 1963 Augsburg graduate who captained the Aug's championship team and also was named MIAC "play- er of the year " during his senior year. Since leaving Augsburg Butch has taught and served as assistant basketball coach at Minneapolis Southwest, and also taught and held a head coaching position at Fairmont High School. During his three years at Fairmont his teams compiled a 50-15 record, . and won one conference and two dis— trict titles. He returned to Augsburg this year and coached the Auggie bas- ketball junior varsity to a 10-4 record. TRACK TEAM OPENS SEASON by Mike Madsen The Augsburg track team should have a "good" season this year if all goes as well as it did in St. Olaf. The Auggies set three new records in the pole vault, 60 yard high hurdles, and the shot put. Glen Bruins went 14'1" in the pole vault to break his own record of 14' , Warren Larson ran a 7. 8 in the 60 yard high hurdles to eclipse by a tenth of a second the old record, and Luther Bakken once again (the fourth time this year) broke the school shot put record with a heave of 48'5".

Ron Weitbrecht and Jon Fre- richs are leaving no room for apathy in their new administration. Auggies and their organizations will be forced to make a stand. Ron-J on aren't coming into student government to overwhelm-overpower. They plan to institute on the executive level while measures will be passed through the concerned students and the council. The future government organization looks to be one of more interest and involvement. Ron sees the student government of his administration as "less of a clique and more of an agent. " Jon will work as student council president to pass measures in the Ron— Jon platform. Jon plans to establish the important budget early in the year so as not to get bogged down as in the past. Ron—Jon are going to do everything possible to implement their platform. If measures die, it will be because of defeat in COuncil or student rejection— not as a result of disinterest from Ron- Jon. In the past two years, student coun- cil has become just one of the many in- terest groups of the campus. In the next year through centralization, Ron- Jon will establish a relevant Augsburg community. Student government will govern the implementation of the plat- from which elected Ron Weitbrecht and Jon Frerichs.

Show morePage Four THEATRE IN THE ROUND “WE LION IN WINTER” by Becky Foss Thursday night saw the opening of Theatre in the Round's production "The Lion in Winter, " by James Gold- man. Its characters are the memor- able personages of Henry II of England, his wife, Eleanor of Aquitane, and their three sons. Goldman treats his char- acters in a rarely held fashion. In- stead of emphasizing Henry's unpopu- lar civil policies, the play reveals his "graSp of destiny, with all its intense domestic complications. " Eleanor, rather than appearing unfavorany be— cause of her political machinations, comes forth with ironic humor as an un derstandably ambitious mother. In fact, each character in the play is dis- covered as a believable person, which is refreshing. As to the actors themselves, and the ability which they displayed, there is little else to say than "marvelous !" Shirley Diercks proved admirable in the role of Eleanor, bringing with her all the vividness that must have made _ Eleanor great. Henry, portrayed by Richard Fliehr, contains all the frus- trations of fatherhood coupled with a libertine soul, and sparkled with the ripest humor. And then there are the boys. The three sons, Richard, Geoffrey, and John are the main reasons for all the controversy, as each parent wants a different son as heir. Steve Ryan commands the part of brave and braw— ney Richard; while Craig Carlson is OPENS deadly as the sly and vicious Geoffrey. But it is Christopher Raudenbush who steals the scene with his exact portray- al of everyone's Spoiled, bratty, little brother. Mary Costanzi is Alais, the young and pretty mistress of Henry, and serves as the only calm element in this tumultous household. Ric Stu- Gfel‘a presently an English major here at Augsburg, is convincing as the young King Phillip of France. he plays an outsider to the household, he quickly fits into the intrigue and scathing repartee. ' All in all, the play is fabulous. It has the kind of verbal activity that involves minds as well as emotions, and it brought resounding applause from the audience. and lighting all served to create and sustain the spirit of this electric fam— ily. Truly, it makes a worthwhile evening. ‘ April 4th will mark another Glenn ‘giYarbrough appearance at Augsburg.

To be an effective voice Student Government needs unity within itself, unity a has not had this year. So, the areas that should really have occupied the student interest have got- ten by another year without reform. What I am speaking of are those depart— ments withing the college administration, like the Business Office and Treasurer‘s , Office, that have tried to become more "efficient",more "business like",more cold and impersonal. No matter hOW much we say Augsburg is a sensitive Christian community, we should not for- get that higher education is a big business lowing, first, representative member; from the student body in their depart— ments, and second, acting upon chang- es in policy these student members have porposed. The students that haw— worked in these areas deserve much credit. I wish Student Council had had that ability to seek creative reform. To the new Student Government the challenge 18 still there. The College Administration is made up of many de- partments; Housing, Registrar, Ad- missions, Placement, and more.

The Auggies defeated St. Johns in the team race by an S7 to 76 margin thus aven- ging an earlier dual meet season 18-18tie. Team captain Mike Good was the only repeat champion for the Augs. He notched his third straight championship with a 7-0 decision over Carl Nord of Gustavus in the 134 1b. final. Soplimore Ron Johnson who was a runnerup in last year's meet gained the 142 lb. title with a 12-5 victory over Gust avus wrestler Mike Crofton. In the 150 lb. dividion , sophmore Pat Marcy "earned a name for himself”- to quote an anonymous source— by decisioning Gordon Molitor of St. Johns by a con- vincing 18—2 margin. Marcy wrestled so well in the tournament that he was named co-recipient (along with Condordia's Chuck Bishop) of the Carl Larson award as the outstanding wrestler in the tourney. Mark Mattison, a freshman from Lam- berton, Minnesota gained the Auggiesn fourth individual title by defeating Johns Dennis Leggatt 7-4. It was this victory that assured Augsburg of the team title. Freshman Scott Brown and junior Larry Stewart were runners-up for the Augs in the 118 1b. and 177 lb. weight classes reSpectively. Junior Bill Hickman and freshman Jeff Erickson each gained third place honors; Bill at 1261b. and Jeff at 1671b. Freshman Steve Dahlman rounded out Augsburg's place winners by gaining fourth in the 190 1b. At the beginning of the seasan coach Ron Pfeffer forecasted a "building" year for his team. In many respects this forecast held true. Team season would be a winning one and that it was I forecast held true. Team captain Mike Good said this season would be a winning and that it was. He also stated :hat this would not be the best year for the Auggieg but that there were better things to come in the near future. The record shows Augsburg did have its ups and downs. The Augs suffered disappointments at the All-Lutheran and NIAC tournaments but experienced satisfying triumphs at the St. Olaf— . Carlton and MIAC tourneys.

Though the team's 6—8 season did not equal their 11-2—1 season last year, Coach Saugestad said, "everyone went 'very hard. " He added, "We were capable of winning all the games ex— cept the last one with Gustavus. " A major factor in the eight losses was Augsburg's low scoring percentage compared to its opponent's. A season average showed that the Auggies scored once for every 37 shots compared to one goal for every eight shots last year. To compound on the scoring de- ficit the defense was not as strong as in the past. Many of the players and Coach Saugestad felt that moving indoors to Golden Valley Ice Center hampered the team. Thought the ice in the Ice Center was much better than the ice on the old rink behind Melby Hall, it was impossible to practice on some nights because of schedule conflicts A with other group activities at the Ice Center. Next year the Augsburg hockey team will be without Al DeWolf, Terry Holmes, Greg Nelson, Steve Range, and Mick Thorstenson, all seniors, who will be graduating this year. Pat McCue and Dave Peterson will return to the Augsburg line-up next year af— ter sitting out much of this season. Nine freshmen will also be returning next year with one season under their belts. Coach Saugestad commented, "the Wilde, Halvorson, Lundgren line was one of the top freshmen lines on the conference. The returning team should make Augsburg strong in the next hockey season. Coach Saugstad's evaluation of the league was that it is becoming well balanced. "If you don't play a good game you will get beat.

If young people are divided now into these catagories, what is going to happen as they grow older? As most young people know, the older one gets the less receptive one is to change. With age comes stubborness and a sense of security about one's life style. So it is clear that young people had better change before they get much older. The concept of "do your own thing" can not apply here. Some people's thing consists of preven— ting others from doing their thing. The Klu Klux Klan, for example, will not be tolerated if they should decide to do their thing on my lawn. Young people generally agree that doing one's thing should be tolerated as much as possible. But this only leads to a continuation of the power struggle. In fact, it intensifies the power struggle because now selfish organizations like theKKK and the American Legion can ' hide behind the very phrase invented by young people to stop repression. Stoksly Carmichael said that when Lyn- don Johnson used the phrase "We shall overcome" on National T. V. , the Civil Rights movement died. The same is true with "do your own thing". The minute that phrase is anolied to some undeserving organization it loses its meaning, and therefore it becomes ob- solete. . The contradictions that are obv10us in this discussion of the problem is precisely the problem itself: which way__ to turn. Every faction, every group, every thought, every word seems to lack the essential truth of love In fits of madness and despair, young people are crying out, "I can not love here any longer!" It is not a case of throwing in the towel. It is a case of being overwhelmed by contra- dictions, of being crushed by the lack of understanding on earth today. Even on small scales this lack of understand- ing on earth today. Even on small V scales this lack of understanding is enough to drive most people insane. Young people are reaching out des- perately for understanding even among their peer group. Frequently, there is no repsonse and these people end up trying to find love in acid or pot. _ There is no love in acid or pot. There is love in people, and if this love can only be revealed by using devices other then the natural mind and body, in that love is not worth having, This statement does not solve the problem. My point is that people find it necessary to cling to something, and that something might as well be other people. We need each other--all of us. The Problem of living here is a per— sonal one that affects us all. Because it affects us all, however, it is also a public problem. There is no frontier anymore. The moon is not accessible to most of us and if it were, who would want to live there? Our problem of living here must be solved through understanding and most of all, empha- tic love. Love is the last word. If we plan to love very long in this sea called Life, we had better find it- 5 through fusion. Show less

S. citizens in their own communities, mostly young people, there can be no rapport until the establishment disarms itself. This is how young people feel today. _ Look at the alienation, the enormous hole, that this situation causes. How can there be any meaningful living taking place in a world where there is this kind of turmoil? The problem does not end with the young versus the old. It begins there. The train of confusion moves from there to the less obvious conflict of youth versus itself. There is much talk of the salvation that young people will bring with them as they grow into adult- hood. But this salvation is wishful thinking. The younger generation must begin to understand that the phrase "come together" means spiritually. There are many good examples of young people coming together for a short period of time. The Democratic convention and the subsequent violence that surrounded Chicago did much to pull opposing factionsof young people together. For the first time young white radicals were exposed to the same type of repression and insane rage that Blacks have been subjected to. For the first time they were forced to see the real enemy face to face, in living color, with a can of mace in one hand, a billy club in the other, and a snout as long and ugly as the history of America it— self. This realization brought thousands of white youngsters to their senses and undeserving organization it loses its meaning, and therefore it becomes oblolete. Continued on Page Fourteen tionships between young and old. looked. at from both points of view, this problem is disturbing. The sochty is split between those in power, who are, for all intents and purposes 01d, and those who desire power, who are generally young. The image that imme- diately comes to mind is that of a gigan— tic tug of war between young and old. Nixon can not relate to the message of the Beat--a message of foreboding and at the same time, hope-—and Nixon does not want to relate to that message. In his television address on November 3rd, he did not take the time to heal the scar between the young and old. His only reference to young people was a rather curt remark about dissen- ters and how they were simply encour— aging the enemy. His speech was ad- dressed to that group of mute puppets known as the silent majority and he did not seem to have any desire to say anything relevant to the young. Yet, any young people, truly interested in the fate of their country, which is the overwhelming majority of young peo- ple, was rivited in front of the T. V. set that night, if it was at all possible. On the other hand, Allen Ginsberg and Eldridge Cleaver cannot relate to Nixon, who has become their symbol of "pig repression" in this country. Cleaver refers to Ronald Reagan as 'Mickey Mouse' and those who are hip to what is happening in California today are inclined to agree with that. Nixon's message is interspersed with gun fire and napalm. Some people can relate to that. Those who get rich off of napalm can certainly relate to it. Show less

When there seems to be a chance to break these elements down into small problems and solve them bit by bit, we muster up all our strength and But, by and large, we ignore those problems that do not seem to have a solution. Fre- quently, these are the problems that lie most deeply rooted in our minds, the problems that cause a great deal. of tossing and turning in our beds. If we stop to think for a moment, we can name a thousand or more enigmas of this type. But one of these puzzles of life is most pressing. It sums up all the problems that the younger gen- eration has today, and that is the prob— lem of living here. Perhaps it would help to clarify the problem so that we may better attempt to solve it, at least in part. Age old as it may seem, there was never a time in history that com- pares to ours so far as alienation is concerned. As usual, the young peo- ple are actively involved in furthering or eliminating this problem, depend- ing upon which faction you as an indi- vidual support. Living on earth is not as easy as it may seem, and young people realize this. Consider first the rend in rela- Show less

"Head Cheerleader Hart, with the intense growth rate of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area the problems of adequate transpo'rtation grow ever more accute. Yet the rapid transit authorities in this area have said that their present system is outdated, im- practical, inadequate and financially unfeasible and that as a private enter- prise they can not survive. May we hear your comments. " HART: "Thank you Mrs. tandsby, good citizens, unworthy Opponent. I Page Eleven have just one brief comment to make concerning tranSportation complica- tions and I want to be perfectly under- stood. When I was a boy I used to be able to ride the buses all the way into St. Paul for only a dime. One morn- ing I woke up and the rates had been increased to fifteen cents. An in- crease of five percent over night. To- day the same trip would have cost me thrity-five cents, another seventy- five percent increase in bus fares in just a few short years. The trans- portation problems in our Metropol- itan area are not as bad as they are in other major cities in the United States. Last November while I was in Omaha for the all important con- gress on air pollution or driver's safety or acrobatic water skiing or something, I asked one of the local bus drivers what the fare would be to Paul and he figured it to be at least two dollars forty seven cents with countless transferes. But why should our fair TWin Cities succumb to a degenerate transportational sys— tem such as theirs. In conclusion my stand on rapid transit remains the same as it has al- wavs been. I am opposed and always will remain opposed to rapid transit. Tests by valid, sanctioned sources have repeatedly shown that a bus trav- eling 60 mph uses twenty-five percent more fuel than a bus traveling safely at 40 mph and such a savings could be reciprocated to the public who pat- ronize their services.
