Augsburg qualified a program record ten wrestlers for nationals: Mike Fuenffinger at 125 weight class, Chad Bartschenfeld at 133 weight class, Marcus Hamer at 141 weight class, Will Keeter at 149 weight class, Gable Frandsen at 157 weight class,Eric Hansel at 165 weight class, Tryell Martin at 174 pound weight class, Tommy Teigen at 184 pound weight class, Matt Hechsel 197 weight class and Donny Longendyke at heavy weight class. Going into nationals, Augsburg was ranked 6th in the nation with a record of 12—4. Mike Fuenffinger led the way for Auggies, wrestling Lucas Malmberg of Messiah College and defeating him 15—2. After winning his weight class and being declared a National Champion, Fuenft'inger said, “Faith is the biggest thing. I just went out there and stayed focused. I just wanted to go out there and fight for the glory of God. Jesus is what got me here. I owe it all to him. Being able to represent him in the best way I can, that's what I was striving for." Donny Longendyke was one of the big factors brought the national title home for Augsburg with his dominating wrestling. In the last match, but possibly the most important match of the tournament, Longendyke wrestled Terrance Jacques of Rhode Island College. He prevailed in victorious fashion with a 1—0 decision. “You had two evenly matched athletes right there," said Augsburg head coach, Jim Moulsoff. “They’re not your typical heavyweights. Donny did a heck of a job for us this year...As the season went on, we took our lumps, I know that, but it didn't make a difference. We learned along the way, and we grew because the wrestlers knew they’re going to crown a national champ come March. That was their goal, and that’s what they did." The Auggies finished first and earned 100.0 points. Wartburg finished second and earned 8915 points. Wabash College of Indiana finished third with 66.5 points. Wisconsin-Whitewater finished fourth earning 60.5 points. By Augsburg winning their 12th national title, they were able to successfully end Wanburg‘s streak of winning four national titles in a row. Either Augsburg or Wartburg has won the NCAA division III national title since 1995. The Auggies earned several top honors in the awards that the national wrestling coaches association presents after the wrestling action ends. Moulsoff was named division III national coach of the year and division III rookie coach of the year. Tony Valek was named assistant coach of the year for all the support and mentorship he gave to the wrestlers this season. Eric Hensel earned the tournament’s most falls in the least amount of time award. Fuenffinger was named the tournament's most outstanding wrestler.

The Vikings finished 7—9 last season, and have needs @551; St E ;.fi$e Fiertfigf‘gri'eu ,, Name: #39 Tanner Oakes Sport: Baseball Position: Pitcher Year: Senior Major: Special Education Hometown: Jordan, Minn. Tanner Oakes is the first and only pitcher in Augsburg baseball history to pitch a no- hitter, otherwise known as a perfect game, which he did his freshman year. The Auggie baseball team currently has a record of 10-10. They are doing everything they can to chase a MIAC playoff birth. Q: What does Auggie pride mean to you? A: "Auggie pride to me means working together: everyone chipping in doing their role to complete a common goal." Q: What are some of the at several positions including guard, safety, corner and linebacker. Some wondered whether the Vikings would pursue any of the bigger names that this year’s free agent pool had to ofl‘er, or wait undl the draft to improve the roster. So far, the Vikings have signed six new players for cheap, short contracts, looking to add depth to the roster, and hopefully capitalize on the potential shown by the players signed. The Vikings decided to take care of depth at the quarterback position first, by signing 35-year-old Shaun Hill. Hill was signed to a two-year deal to serve as the back-up to Teddy Bridgewater, The biggest splash of the Vikings offseason came with a trade when they acquired wide receiver, Mike Wallace, from the Miami Dolphins. The Viking could have a steal in Wallace if he is able to play like a number—one receiver. The Vikings gave up a fifth» round pick in the current drafi and a 2016 seventh-round pick forWallace. The Wallace trade also led Minnesota to cut receiver Greg Jennings. Jennings never played up to the five-year, $45 million contract he signed in 2013. The Vikings added a few defensive players to the roster with hopes that they will bring a positive impact to the team. The Vikings added two former Bengals players to the secondary. 27-year-old safety Taylor Mays, and 38-year-old glance: Tanner Oakes ways you train during the offseason to dominate during the season? A: “We do a lot of lifting three days a week, and then within that the pitchers do a lot of different types of conditioning, a lot of sprints. Our pitching coach has us working pretty hard during the offseason as well as in season too. In the dome we do all kinds of stuff, throwing a lot of long toss." Q: What are your team‘s goals this season? A: “Our goal is to make the playoffs. It all comes down to giving ourselves a chances to move onto that next step and playoffs is it for us. Playoffs begin in early May. The MIAC is pretty wide open: one through ten is pretty solid throughout the MIAC, but there is no one that you can just show up and beat automatically. You got to be on your best game at all times." Q: Who is Augsburg biggest rival in baseball? A: “We always want to beat our rival. which is St. Thomas. They’re always at the top. You have to beat them to win anything, so they‘re number one. After that I would say it‘s pretty competitive throughout.“ Q: What have been your greatest memories playing for Augsburg? A: “Sophomore year making the playoffs was fun. Hopefully we can do that again this year. The Arizona trips are always a ton of fun. Just being with your teammates for a whole week is awesome and so is being in good weather." Q: As a team do you have a motto or quote t hat you live by? A: “I‘m pissed off for comerback Terence Newman. Mays is known for being a hard hitter and brings much needed athleticism to the safety position. It will be a win for theteamiftheycanpairMays alongidebuddingstarHarrison Smith and find success. Mays has yet to play up to the potential he showed coming out of USC, but hopefully Zimmer canhelphimsucceed. The Vikings also signed former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker, Casey Matthews, to a deal. The former fourth- round draft pick from Oregon had a career-high 62 tackles last season. Matthews looks to compete for a spot at inside linebacker for the Vikings. One of the most interesting signings the team made was greatness, because if you aren't pissed off for greatness you‘re okay with being mediocre." Q: What is it going to take for the team to make playoffs? A: “Pitching and defense. Our hitters have been doing really well so far. Our pitchers need to step up, and if the pitchers can step up, I think we'll be okay. It's got to start today." Q: Tell me about someone that you look up to or that inspires you? A: "I would say my dad. He has beaten Leukemia twice now, and he has been an inspiration not only to me but to thousands of people. His attitude during his fight wrth cancer twice has been nothing short of remarkable. He is just a really tough guy." Q: Where do you see yourself when your Auggie career is said oft-season 6'9" 351-pound offensive tackle from Poland, Babatunde “Babs” Aiyegbusi. Aiyegbusi made a name for himself in the Polish and German football leagues, but success in the NFL remains to be seen. The Vikings have a young team whose success depends on how this young talent develops. The moves that the Vikings have made in the ofiseason so far, gives them more flexibility when the draft comes April 30. The Vikings can take the best player available that day and keep building this team into a contender. The Vikings will have the 11th overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. and done? A: "Hopefully I'll be teaching specral education. probably in an elementary school. Hopefully along With that I can do some coaching basketball and baseball." "Tanner is as intelligent as any coach, he has grown up around the game and gets the ebb and flow ofbaseball. He has a good work ethic, he takes care of himself. and he takes care of his arm. His greatest strength is he takes personal responsibility in his daily excellence, He has always been a low maintenance proactive type of player, He knows what he needs to do aitd comes in and does it Darc i say it, he is a model student athlete " -Kcith Batcman, head baseball coach.

Show moreOPINIONS Friday, April 10, 2015 Page 4 Letter to the editor: do you know what "consent" means? Maddie Williams, égribufo: Do you know the definition of the word consent? According to the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault, it means. “free and active agreement, given equally by both partners, to engage in a specific sexual activity.” This means that giving in or giving up does not equal consent. The statistics on sexual assault would make one think such a concept is not taught in American society. Statistics show 1 in 4—5 women experience rape or attempted rape while they are in college 790% of those women know their attackers. Prof: ioshigc. tittieicimiriiiufii An opinion piece entitled “Midterm grading better not take too long," appeared in the March 13 edition of the Echo about the frustrations students feel when professors complain about having to grade exams. I do think the critique of professors‘ complaints about having to grade exams is helpful. I have learned the hard way that I have sometimes made too much work for both myself and my students. College is still a learning process for me too, and I learn from the interaction and construcnve L'rlIlClSm of my students all the time. This helps me be a better teacher and learner. Moreover. there is something about a professor's complaining about doing his or her job that demeans the students. the professor. the institution and the profession. Yet, there is also something to be said for exams and lectures. The aforementioned opinion piece argued that midterm exams cannot possibly assess a student‘s progress and that discussion and small-group work are better methods. The piece asserted that group work can help students make money and synthesize new ideas while “Neither of these things has any possibility of happening in the age- old ‘lecture and test' class format." These statements are too universal and fail to take into account that exams and lectures, along with other How does this make you feel? Uncomfortable? Good. More needs to be done to help prevent sexual assault, and we can start here on campus. We can’t just leave it up to fliers around campus that get torn down within minutes or the two- minute portion of a skit during SOAR for incoming students. Sexual assault is prevalent enough that our institution needs to make more of an effort not only to teach students about consent, healthy relationships and boundaries but also to make it a part of our mission to help prevent such trauma in our community. Augsburg is “committe " to educating our campus about such issues, so DPS uses the “Not Anymore" video campaign program with the hopes of giving our fellow students and faculty the tools to help reduce dating and sexual violence. Although the institution’s intentions are great, without more advertisements and promotion of the program, most students won’t know that this program even exists. We can't just rely on the school‘s websites, because if students aren't aware of what is readily available to them, they most likely won’t actively seek out the information that is at their fingertips, If you did not know, Augsburg partners with The Aurora Center at the U of M to provide support groups for Augsburg and U of M students who have experienced sexual assault, dating violence and stalking. Aurora has been a great escape for not only myself, but countless others who had no place else to go. The Sexual Violence Center (SVC) located in North Minneapolis, where I currently serve as an advocate against sexual violence, provides amazing free services for both primary and secondary victim/survivors of sexual assault over the age of 12. SVC serves Hennepin, Carver and Scott counties with 24-hour crisis counseling, legal and medical advocacies, as well as facilitating multiple support groups and one—to- one counseling. It is important to understand that victim/survivors of sexual assault can suffer from an extreme amount of post- traumatic stress, so if you know anyone who has experienced an assault remember to be very patient and kind. There are resources out there that assist supporters in helping friends or family. No one is alone. Sexual violence truly does afi‘ect everyone. What will you do to help? formats, can be parts of a bigger picture of learning. Midterm exams, when written well and accompanied by other methods, can get the big picture of what we are learning in the first half of a course. Notice that I say “can, not “will.” I must write exams well, covering the big picture and some of the important details. I prove nothing by testing students on the most esoteric minutia in a reading that I don‘t cover in class other than that I can be a jerk. I don't want to do that. Instead, I want students to be able to recognize things that can be helpful later in life as well as in the course. For instance, I want them to be able to know the five pillars of Islam so that when they talk to their neighbors or colleagues who are Muslim, they have an understanding of Islam that goes beyond the talking points of the media. I know this can work, because former students who have graduated have thanked me for it. Group work and discussion are valuable tools and should be used well. Conversation is a great way of coming to understandings on topics in class, especially in a religion course. That does not mean that these methods should be the ONLY things in our toolboxes. Some students are hesitant to talk in class for a variety of reasons but have an excellent grasp of the knowledge we've been discussing in class. Those students deserve to be able to prove that to the professor. Students have different learning styles, and I want to use a variety of methods of assessment so that I can grade fairly. Group work, journaling, essays, discussion, reading, responses and even lectures and exams have their place. I don’t want to short-change my students by relying too much on one format, no matter which format it is. l I disagree with the charge 1 that exams and lectures won't lead to students making money. Skills in test-taking and active listening to lectures can lead to success, even in the business world. I say this as an adjunct who also has a job in the business developed ' world. The ability to listen ‘ attentively, even to something you ultimately don't care about, can go a long way in developing a good customer service attitude. Employers know this, and they look for it. Something similar can be said about taking an exam. Doing something you don‘t like, performing under time constraints develops you as a human being and workervit demonstrates what Hemmingway called "grace under pressure.“ The ability to perform from memory under pressure and to do so with a minimum of complaining makes you a better employee, colleague . and a better around. In world, I have tests all the person all time, and the ability to take ‘ the business ‘ them has served me well and helped me to advance. Yes, it has even helped me get a raise or two. Lectures and exams, when used in conjunction with discussion and group work, can help synthesize new ideas. I know that from my experiences teaching and listening to the feedback of 'i Lectures and exams still have a place my students. Learning is a two-way street though, and I as a professor learn every day from my students. I expect my students to do their part in the learning experience, but I also seek to honor them with careful listening and with timely feedback and grading. l with ptesntation by Assi Aiar.

The discussions will take place in 30 minute blocks, each featuring screenings of comedic videos covering WP, as well as a brief PSA drawing on student-conducted survey results, setting the stage for the discussion. One of the many great things about Augsburg is that faculty find ways to build our mission of service and emphasis on social justice into the curriculum. Over the past few months, three classmates and I have taken a dive into the topic of WP for our Activism Project. one of the course requirements. We distilled this topic down from the colossal topics of social justice and racism, and though the topic of WP is still enormous, it's an experience we canspeak fromasWhitepeople. As Peggy McIntosh writes in her 1989 essay “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Backpack," people are socialized not to see mcisrn as the zero-sum game it really is. Those in power, mostly straight White cisgendered, able-bodied Christian males, make decisions, control services and distribute resources, and both mounting research and anecdotal testimony shows that racial biases are expressed in these areas, often at an unconscious level. We live in a world of finite resources—good jobs, houses, etc.———so when one group of people is allocated a disproportionately large share, others are allowed less by default. The takeaway here is twofold—firstly, racism is intimately connected to the advantages White people have in the United States, and secondly, it operates at an everyday level far removed from the black-andShow less

The idea of him having his own show seemed more like a cash grab than anything. However, when “Better Call Saul” debuted just ten weeks ago, it was evident that this show would become a worthy successor to “Breaking Bad," and, possrbly, even surpassing it one day. Bob Odenkirk plays the clever lawyer Saul Goodman. The show takes place some years before he meets Walter White and Jssie Pinkman and before he even goes by the name of Saul Goodman, going instead by Jimmy McGill. At this time, Jimmy is a struggling lawyer who is trying to live up to his brother's name and become a respected lawyer in his own right. It’s an interesting contrast to the person fans of “Bad” know. Jimmy tries to always do the right thing and, while his effom are valiant, they are ultimately futile as viewers know which path Jimmy will eventually go down. Jonathan Banks reprises his role as Mike Ehrmantraut, an ex-police officer who is now working the ticket booth of a parking lot. This is where Jimmy meets Mike and, while the two don’t see eye-to-eye initially, they do eventually gain something of a respect for one another by the season‘s end. Banks always does flawless work as Mike, maintaining the stoic seriousness of the character while conveying extreme emotion when it’s called for, making him an essential part of this ensemble of characters. Rhea Seehorn portrays Jimmy's friend and fellow lawyer Kim Wexler. While it is obvious that there is some sort of history between these two, it’s never really explored in the utmost clarity. Kim ultimately wants what is best for Jimmy and becomes his confidant for much of the season. Michael McKean plays Chuck McGill, Jimmy‘s older brother who is sick with some strange illness. Chuck became one of the more interesting characters over the course of the season as he became more of a mystery, and ultimately more of a hindrance to Jimmy’s success as the season went on. While there are some short cameos from "Breaking Bad” in the opening episodes, the show truly does thrive from its originality and from its ability to stand on its own two feet with these characters. One of the more powerful episodes from the season is the one which gives Mike’s backstory. It's one of the darkest parts about the show as it explains what events created the Mike Ehrmantraut of today, and it truly is a sad series of events. Without major plot spoilers, I am going to dive into the finale, asitisthecapstoneofthefirst season. The finale has a very diflerent feel from the rest of the season as it sees Jimmy return to his hometown. The events that take place here are much wins with its first season difierent than the other episodes and thus have a strange tone to them, breaking the show away from its drama and tension— filled moments. There is a moment in the finale, however, in which Jimmy finds himself at a crossroads. He can choose to embraces someone’s vision of him as “Slippin' Jimmy," a con man, or continue striving to achieve legal success as a lawyer. It’s a neat scene to see play out as the audience very much wants to see Jimmy become something different than the man he is destined to become. “Better Call Saul" succeeds in many areas. The show is able to create a similar feel and tone as “Breaking Bad" while making itself stand out as unique. It also gives us backstories to critical characters in this universe. With great twists, a likeable cast and fantastic performances by the entire major cast, “Better Call Saul” proves itself to be a worthy successor to the highly successful “Breaking Bad."

Warm/W Augsburg Community Garden grows plants and commit)! irblair Slewig, Staff Writer The Augsburg Community Garden, run by Campus Kitchen, is open to any and all volunteers for people interested in growing and maintaining the garden this coming summer, The Augsburg Community Garden was started in order to give students, faculty, staff, neighbors and community organizations the opportunity to learn how to grow their own, fresh produce and to grow as a community. “Like most Cedar-Riverside residents, 1 live in an apartment, and have no green space of my own," said one community member. “Being within three blocks of a place where I can not just see greenery, but create it, is incredibly amazing, and makes the neighborhood so much more livable." The community gardens serves as a place for everyone to come together. They feature farmers from Minnesota farms, Ethiopia, Somalia, Vietnam and Mexico—all of whom garden together and share their diverse skills and example with one another, especially with those who are just beginning to learn how to garden, These gardens give those who may not have the resources such as land, equipment, etc, the opportunity for them to grow and harvest food. Another community member said, “I don't live in a stand— alone single family house on a piece of land, so sometimes I feel like I am missing out on that American dream—type thing of having a yard. To me, my plot in the community garden is a place I can go to participate in the time-honored tradition of backyard gardening, Iloveit." Instead of Campus Kitchen attempting to grow food to provide food for free, they provide land, tools, water and cempost to anyone, so they take ownership of their own space and produce.

Lo eais, Features Editor This spring, Augsburg’s theater department is putting on the 1945 musical “Carousel.” The music and lyrics are by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II respectively. The show, directed by Darcey Eugen, music direction by Sonja Thompson, opens Friday, April 10, and will run through Sunday, April 19. “Carousel’s” story is really one about a handsome and romantically sought-after carousel barker, Billy Bigelow, who falls in love with the pensive and introspective Julie Jordan, a factory worker, after she pays a visit to the carousel with best friend Carrie Pipperidge. It is revealed very early on in the play that Billy struggles with a number of deep-rooted mental illnesses. He is consistently very. short—tempered, and. self- deprecating in nature, and he brings these things, for better or for worse, into his romance with Julie, all the while navigating a complex relationship with money and his work— eventually losing his job. These conditions come together and provoke some controversial subject matter within the play, domestic violence and suicide among them. In 1945, when “Carousel” was put on for the first time, these things were especially controversial, so the script takes a very hesitant and subtle approach to deconstructing them, if it takes any at all. In the second act of the musical, for example, Billy’s daughter, Louise, poses a question to Julie, her mother, after being physically abused by Billy: “But is it possible, Mother, for someone to hit you hard like that—~real loud and hard—and not hurt you at all?" “It’s possible, dear—for someone to hit you—hit you hard—and not hurt at all," said Julie in the script. As this series of lines, among many others, glorifies the experience of domestic abuse, and is indisputably problematic, the musical, when put on in the modem-day, has the potential to convey a message to audiences that is equally as problematic— making “Carousel” somewhat of a risk for venues everywhere, Augsburg included. For this reason, director Darcey Engen, with the help of “Carousel’s” cast and crew, is making it a priority to wholly deconstruct and place emphasis on controversial themes in order to transform the musical into something of a commentary on them. Throughout the rehearsal process, the cast has hosted a number of guest speakers with careers based in social work and domestic violence and participated in hours worth of discussion and dissection of the script and its controversial themes. “Darcey has done a great job making us all hyper-aware of the problematic themes contained within the script from the very beginning," said one member of the cast. “[The cast] knew from the start that Darcey would do something brilliant and progressive with the script. I wouldn‘t want to be part of the production if it was in anyone else’s hands. She’s great. The work we’ve put in has been great. It's not your typical mid-19405 musical, and that '5 important." “We’ve created a unique piece by taking an old musical and adapting it for a more modern message,“ said actor Riley Parham. Augsburg students can purchase tickets for “Carousel” PLAYBILL’ LINCOLN CENTER THEATER AT THE VIVIAN BEAUMONT PHOTO CRE DlT \vww AMAZON COM for $4, and the general public for $12.

Leslie Jamison reads as part of ACTC Visiting Writer series Mary Cornelius, Managing Editor “There are a lot of things we do before we have labels for why we do them," explained essayist and novelist Leslie Jamison to a packed audience last ’Iiresday night. For Jamison, her “thing” was writing about pain, and specifically “how we understand pain in the lives of others. . .[and] how we make our own pain legible." Although she did not know it when she began, her uncollected assays about pain and empathy would grow into the critically acclaimed essay collection “The Empathy Exams," which was published in April 2014 by the Minneapolis-based Graywolf Press. Jamison spoke to a full hall of students and faculty at Macalester College in the Weyerhauser Hall Boardroom as one of the five Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) Visiting Writers this year. During the hour—long event, Jamison read two essays from her book and answered student questions about her topics and writing habits. The first essay she read explored her personal experience attending a conference in support of people living with Morgellons, a disease that has had a complicated relationship with the medical community. Many doctors, when diagnosing Morgellons, list it as a psychosomatic rather than physical disorder, which is upsetting for individuals who feel their pain is being discounted. Jamison interviewed many people who identify with having the disease, and then she expanded the conversation to include the pain and potential pain we all experience in different degrees. "Fearing the worst is worse than knowing the worst," Jamison said. The second essay she read was a personal reflection on reading James Agee's “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.” Jamison quoted Agee, who said his writing was “the effort to perceive the cruel radiance of what is," To her, this perception (focused, in Agee’s book, on sharecroppers in the American South during the Great Depression) enabled empathy. “Empathy is a contagion, and Agee catches it and passes it to us," said Jamison. During the question and answer session that followed the reading, students asked Jamison about the difference between writing fiction and non-fiction and about how her essay collection came together. “The process is different [for fiction and non-fiction]," said Jamison. “Non-fiction is external, engaging with what is not me. It is an encounter with the self and not-self. The root is beyond my control," she said, explaining how interviewees giving answers she didn't plan for gave her an interesting and challenging set of Creative constraints. With fiction, she noted the author has a more total control of the content, and so a different set of creative restraints, “The motivating curiosities [behind both fiction and non-fiction] are the same, though," said Jamison, who added her work dealt greatly with ideas of consciousness. The ACTC Creative Writing Programs bring in 273 writers a semester through their Visiting Writer series, with each of the five colleges hosting one author per year. This past fall, Augsburg hosted prolific and award-winning poet Sean Thomas Dougherty. The series‘ past roster has included both locally based authors, such as University ofMinnesota faculty member Julie Shumacher in April 2011, and national names, like best-selling author Cheryl Strayed in October 2012. Strayed's memoir. “Wild,” was recently adapted into an Oscar- nodded movie. Kevin Moffett. the last author in this year's Visiting Writer series, will read at Hamline University on April 14 at 7:00 pm.

Show moreFEATURES Friday, April 10, 2015 Page 8 Derek Nikitas - Augsburg’s new MFA in Creative Writing "£991:stde 5t [Writen . Augsburg's MFA program has settled on Derek Nikitas to head its MFA in Creative Writing. Nikitas will start his position in August of 2015, taking over for the current MFA director Cass Dalglish, who will remain an undergraduate professor and a mentor in the MFA program. Nikitas is well known for his novels in the thriller genre, with his first two novels being titled “Pyres” and “The Long Division." He said greats such as Vladimir Nabokov, Stephen King and Franz Kafka influence his writing the most. Nikitas has been nominated for an Edgar award by the Mystery Writers of America for his debut novel, “Pyres,” a thrilling story of a 15-year- old girl, Luc. After her father's mysterious death. Luc is dragged into the police investigation. What makes the tale unique, however, is its focus on two different narrating protagonists, Luc and the police investigator who is assigned to the case, both of them women with backgrounds far different from Nikitas' own. He received positive reviews of his writing for the book, and his creativity is evident across the whole novel. In addition to experience writing, however, Nikitas has experience leading a MFA program similar to Augsburg’s. He led Eastern Kentucky University’s MFA Bluegrass Writer’s Studio, which is a low-residency program like Augsburg’s MFA program. This is far from his only teaching experience, however. He also taught creative writing at the State University of New York at Brockport and at the University of Rhode Island. He describes his short fiction as “True Noir,” fiction that focuses on existentialist themes and often ends on a very bitter note. While he has experimented with literary fiction, almost all of his published works involve crime or are mystery novels. He is an enthusiastic protector of genre fiction in the academic setting, where it is often frowned upon, even here at Augsburg. He is interested in the interplay between language and plot and has written multiple blog posts on this theme. Among these academic essays, Nikitas also writes about “Game of Thrones" and other genre fiction, something he has a strong interest in as a mystery writer. “I love genre, but I love it not as an end in itself," he said about the fiction genre. “I love it mono canon: PLUS GOGGLECOM as a boundary within which a good writer can create something rich, surprising and fresh.” While speaking on college writing programs, Nikitas said, “Teachers can help you confront more quickly, more consciously, the hurdles you must overcome as a writer. The same is true for great Director books on the practice of writing—and great works of fiction—but there is something to be said for the personalized commentary you get from your instructor." Derek Nikitas will be visiting the MFA residency over the summer. His website is located at dereknikitas.com and his blog is dereknikitas. blogspot.com. Poet, activist Andrea Gibson visits the Twin Cities Del M. Lo aais, Features Editor On Thursday, March 26, world-renowned poet, spoken-word artist and activist Andrea Gibson visited the Twin Cities to perform some of their poetry, alongside musical artist Jesse Thompson, for a packed Cedar Cultural Center g just blocks from the Augsburg campus. Gibson, bold and unafraid in communicating their personal truths, is really at the forefront of the spoken- word movement, providing commentary on things such as race, class, gender and sexuality, among others. The poet grew up in Calais, Maine. They were raised of the Baptist faith. Gibson attended Saint Joseph's College of Maine, and participated in their first open-mic in Denver after moving to the city with a longtime partner. A four- time Denver Grand Slam Champion, Gibson finished fourth at the 2004 National Poetry Slam, and went on to finish third at both the 2006 and 2007 Individual World Poetry Slams. In 2008, Gibson became the first poet ever to win the Women of the World Poetry Slam, held in Detroit. Since then, they have published a number of books, "Pansy" being the most recent. They have released a number of records, and many of these incorporate both poetry and music. "Truce," released in 2013, is the most recent of these records. When Gibson, providing social and political commentary on real issues via their poetry, is not on the road performing, they can be found among other activists as they are involved with a wide variety of different activist groups, including Vox Feminista, which aims, concerning oppression, to “comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable" on a political level. “I have spent the last decade working with Vox Feminista, a performance group of radical artists and activists bent on social justice," Gibson said, speaking on what activism meant to them in a recent interview with Maya Brown of the SPARK Movement. “Vox’s motto is ‘To comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.’ I consider that every time I write a poem, and I consider that in my daily life. The year I discovered spoken word was the year I participated in my first political action, and perhaps that’s why the two have always been intertwined for me. In a culture full of so much destruction, creativity is in itself activism. That said, I’m aware when I’m writing that more is needed than our words.” Gibson often performs at “Take Back the Night" events, LGBTQIA oriented events, various anti-war and peace rallies, anti-Palestine occupation rallies and events aiming to deconstruct and examine the wrongs of capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy. They, too, are also the co-founder of “STAY HERE WITH ME," an online community that uses art and shame-free discussions to aid in suicide prevention. Staying true to spoken- word’s historical ties to activism and radicalism, Gibson plans to keep up their work with the art form for years to come. Those interested in learning more about the poet should visit andreagibsonorg. Horoscopes Aries (March 21 - April 19): Try to focus on the really important things in your life.

Show morePAGE TWO Why I Hate The Liquor Traffic N. N. Running If anyone should hate the liquor traffic, it is I. Before the spiritual awakening came to my communi- ty in the old country, I saw scenes and heard talk, from which a little boy should haVe been spared. The liquor traffic left a slimy trail behind after each Christmas and wedding and even funeral. With at« tendant evils it was the greatest curse which came upon our beautiful Tclemark. I can still hear the loud pounding on the door late one cold night and the frantic cry of a woman who had been driven out of her home by her drunken husband. Three of my best boyhood friends landed in the drun- kards‘ grave; one a celebrated violinist, one a brilliant teacher, one a gifted farmer boy. The other day I met a former Sunday school boy of mine, now a middle-aged man. He told me he had made a mess of life, due to strong drinks. Yes, I have good reasons to hate the liquor traffic. What are we to do about it? I have been wondering if the time is not soon coming when a temperance agi— tation will sweep through the Northwest as it did some decades ago. After the repeal of the prohibition amend- ment, however, some of us have been standing there puzzled, helpless, bewildered, while most church people seem to be indifferent. Of late conditions have become so grave that many people are becoming alarmed. Conditions are very much worse now than they were before the prohibition era. They are mainly concerned with our boys; now we see the havoc of the liquor traffic also among our girls. I do not minimize the influence of the Christian home. the Sunday school, the Luther League, and the church as a whole. We never had a finer lot of young people than today. The time is at hand when Christian men and women nlust take up a Vigorous and persistent fight against the liquor traffic. The first thing to do is to face the facts and forces which counteract, undermine, and tear down what the Christian home and church are doing to build the kingdom of Christ on earth. A thorough survey must be made. This cannot be done by conventions and rallies or passing resolutions. It must be done by a small group of intelligent, earnest, fear— less men and women; done without the flare of trumpets or the waving of flags. Some day, in the not distant future, a new temper- ance movement will sweep through the land, but let us not wait for it. Let us face the ugly facts all around us. Let us talk to a friend or two and together discuss what is the first step to take in our community. The enemies of the liquor traffic ought to express Itheiryaplireciation to Governor Stassehnozf‘Minhnésdta fd‘r proclaiming a Temperance Sunday. If this man placed himself at the head of a temperance movement it would not cost him a second term as governor.‘ Let us, finally, ask ourselves this question: What can I as an individual do to further the cause of temper» ance and how can I best fight the liquor traffic in my own neighborhood and how can I best cooperate with like-minded friends and neighbors? (Condensed) 3 O l Outta Rel/um: “INSIDE ASIA" By John Gunther I must admit that it was with misgiving that I open— ed this book. I suspected that, when Mr. Gunther said Asia, what he really meant was Japan’s war on China) To anyone troubled with misgivings of this kind, I am able to bring glad tidings: China and Japan are given the space that they deserVFno more and no less—and these accounts, as is the case with the rest of the book, are unbelievably fascinating. “Inside Asia” is not just one of those things that in- evitably follow in the wake of sensational headlines; it is an attempt to show the reader the indications of the future of Asia—the fate of an almost ageless culture— it is a revelation. How important, by comparison, were my text books in history in acquainting me with these nations and peo- ples, their social problems, their insufferable health con- ditions, their paralyzing poverty and their constant hope of amelioration.

Today's Vignette (Pronounced Vin-yet) Pierre Awakes Pierre was in that drowsy mood “nnbiahezlveleped himfiuring the last moments of the transition from sleep to consciousness. He was dream- thinking of spring, that wonderful season which was music itself, aware to the good peasants as early as April. Those blades of winter-browned grass were already becoming light green as a result of glowingly warm days and ever-strengthening sunlight. Soon, the old maison would be sur- rounded once more by a carpet of luxurious green; and in place of the harsh sound of wooden shoes pound- ing over the frozen earth, there would be but the gentle swish of parting grass. All the world would be filled with the pure scent of flowering gardens; and, united there, birds would con— verse through their medium of song, to make man glad he could be a part of spring. Man would realize he had a soul capable of being filled to capa- city with the glory of God’s annual re-creation of nature. And so realiz— ing, the peasants could more cheer- fully meet the added hard labor, de- manded by the arrival of spring. Then there was Fleurette—or la petite Fleur, as she was called, be— cause of her beauty. Pierre stirred slightly as he remembered the times they had shared; the conversation they had enjoyed as they walked along the winding louer between the rows of deep-bending vines filled with choicest grapes. Pierre remembered how the old white-haired priest had blessed them when they had married two summers past; then some months back 19 medicin had blessed the little heir which was to share their strug— gles for existence and happiness. . . Pierre’s dream—thoughts toyed with all the joys which his family and the coming spring would bestow upon him—and how merciful and kind son Ciel had been to him. But then his thoughts drifted to other channels and his lazy peace- fulness was rudely jarred by harsh realities. Wide awake now, Pierre thought of M. Paul Reynard and the new cabinet; the Maginot line; arma- ments; taxes. Then he .

My confidence is in God, whom I serve. A man’s worth consists in his obe- dience to truth. If the Lord has called you to be— come a missionary; do not stoop to become a king. To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, it is sin. It takes strong character to be a witness for righteousness. Material prosperity is far synonymous with happiness. Too much success is bad for many ordinary people. It takes a lot of grace from God to stand continued prosperity. A person who loves God cannot be a passive, useless creature. He must be a doer. Often we are so concerned with service that we forget whom we serve. Don‘t get so busy with activi- tis that you do not find time for God. Christ behind the gun or in the trenches is unthinkable.

For the past two weeks, nine- teen youthful Auggie baseball enthusiasts have been limbering up their arms and sharpening up their batting eyes for the be- ginning of the 1940 baseball season. George Anderson With four returning letter- men, Capt. George Anderson, Gob Mikelson, Vic Miller and Jim Gronseth, already in the fold and two more veterans, Roy Gordon and Abou Helleck- son expected to report imme- diately upon finishing their practice teaching, Coach Cully Swanson has a fair nucleus to build a formidable nine. Outstanding candidates among the freshmen are: Luther Gron- seth, “the rosy-checked and be- spectacled” All-City pitcher from Minneapolis Washburn; Orley Anderson, a curly-headed southpaw pitcher from Granite Falls; Jerrol Fredrickson, a star—port twirler from Wana- mingo; and Stanford Nelson, a burly backstop from Dawson, Other candidates that are try- ing to crash into the line-up are: catchers—Stan Plotz of St. Paul and Joy Ready of Al- ”Bat Busters" on April 23 Varado, Minn.; infielders—Phil Helland of Luverne, Dwight An— derson of Minneapolis, Art Johnson of Pequot and Kenny Jacobson of Sebeka; outfielders —Norman Anderson of Minne- apolis, Marcus Hagert of Star- buck, Tom Valvik of Yonkers, New York, James Bersheid and Kenny Klefsaas, both from Min- neapolis. Viking, Maroons See Dead End In Parkboard Race The Augsburg Vikings, coached by Lowell Formo, were the next best representative of Auggieville in the Park Board. This is the second year this club has been in existence; they won five and lost five games this sea- SOIL The Maroons, coached by Russell (Saperstine) Quanbeck and for the last two years a top—ranking team, was well satisfied with third best this season. The Maroons declined a forfeit and “gave” the Championship St. Thomas College “Neps” their last game and the title. This made it pos- sible to eliminate a “Tavern Team" to which the Maroons were opposed. The newly organized “Bombers”, coached by Vernel Johnson, wound-up in the cellar, but look for a better record next year. In the Senior Division for the city- wide Basketball title the Augsburg Norsemen, composed of varsity mem- bers, won their first round game from the Y.l\I.C.A. Seniors, 46—32, and lost their last game to the City Champions—Jack’s Place—23-29, to finish the season. AUG‘SBURG ECHO Hanschen May Quit Fighting / Star-Journal Johnny Ha nachen / Popular Heavyweight Johnny Hanschen has made a public statement that he will quit the boxing profession along with the bout scheduled for April 19 at the Minneapolis Armory. Johnny quotes the following: “I have considered retiring for some time because the boxing set-up in Minneapolis is such that a fighter cannot make any money here. If I cannot make my living at boxing I want to turn to something else, possibly physical education. So you can say that I’m leaving boxing for some time and likely for good. As for continuing my education at Augsburg I am not sure, but there is a mighty good chance.” Hanschen, who was boxing sensa- tion of Minneapolis and who made up to $250 for one night’s perfor- mance, is coaching boxing here at the present time. Since Johnny has taken over, the sport has gained tre- mendously in popularity on the cani- pus. It is the sentiment of the stu- dents for Mr. Hanschen to continue his education at Augsburg and get off the long, weary and hard road of a young professional boxer.

Alfsen The brave Norwegians took the stand, Against their German foe. They gave their lives to save their land, Their homes in ice and snow. Three-months and twenty days they fought. No Norseman ‘er would yield, Until retreating Germans sought Their stukas for a shield. Although their numbers reckoned few, Their chances still more slight, \Vith pride their country's flag they flew, And carried on the fight. Their ranks grew thinner, yet more thin; Recruiting help was gone. Fond hopes were lost to ever win, Yet still they struggled on. And now that fears of war are gone, Once more again you'll see, The breaking of an early dawn, A world that‘s truly free. Christianity and Communism Communism has been called the most vigorous and lusty religion in the world today. While Christianity has become lukewarm with age, communism has the fire of youth. Where Christianity often rep— resents reaction, communism is no every foreign missionary t afraid of progress and mistakes. For sent into the field by the church. commU' nism has a dozen organizers in every country. While the different do nominations bicker with each other, communism presents a solid front. There must be a good reason munism. Two Sundays ago a Catholic, for this apparent success of corn, Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen, in his radio broadcast gave what seems the most logical reason. So' ciety today applauds the broader minded man. The idea is to not be' lieve anything too strongly so as to appear foolish. In his desire to bc open'minded about all things, man seems to have lost the faculty to have firm convictions. He just doesn‘t make up his mind. The fervor and zeal of men like the disciples, St. Francis of Assisi, and Martin Luther is extremely rare. Christianity has become a topic of conversa' tion instead of a conviction to live by or, if necessary, die for. Now what has communism done.7 In a country where Christianity had left a lukewarm and insipid void. communism offered a new, dyna» mic ideology. The communists merely gave the Russians something to believe in, firmly, passionately. Hitler did the same thing. Instead of part time Christianity, the Russians substituted full time communism. 'And they are attempting, to do the same thing here. However, the burning zeal of communists doesn‘t mean that Chris' tianity is doomed. An athiest would look pretty silly if there actually were no God to disbelieve in. So the communists, if there actually They've got a way with the babies . Moorhead.

The very energy those people are exerting in opposition to Christianity proves that Christ is a power in the world today. Communism will not be overcome by fighting a war. It can‘t be beaten by hating what it stands for. It is important that we show up communism practically, by proving that we are willing to feed, and help those peoples and countries that need it so desperately. But even more important that that, we must learn from the communists what they learned earlier from Christ. We must begin showing the fire of early Christians. We must show the world and all men that here is something to plunge into, head first, something to fight for. Whether we like it or not, every man is looking for that. If we as Christians don‘t otfer it to them. the communists will: tianity has become stagnant that communism It is only where Chris' succeeds. In a world where Christianity is a vital and living force, there will be no excuse for communism. There is the simple, the obvious, and by far the most dificult answer to communism—Editor.

DIAL 1947 Spring ls Cum, The Graz ls Riz In the spring, a young man‘s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of what a woman has been thinking about all wmtcr. This is the kind of weather that brings out the soft, the poetic, the tender thoughts of man. The days are warm and sunny, and the evenings are balmy and cool. Now, instead of sitting in dormitories and in the library, we go for walks around campus, across Franklin Avenue bridge, and through Riverside Park. We think no longer of chemistry equations, psychology notes, or history term papers. In- stead, our aesthetic sense is tuned along the lines of crocuses, pussy willows, new grass, and budding trees. We scorn our heavy coats and woolly mittens. We wear jackets and sweaters, cotton dresses and new saddle shoes. There is a change, too, in our manner ofQ speaking to one am other. Our voices are softly mot dulated, our conversations remi- niscent of the days when we play! ed with jacks and marbles. Yes, spring has come to the Augsburg campus. What a pity that mid'semester exams should come between us and a keen en- joyment of it! ‘JOTHNGS Spring is really here, as evil denced by the arrival of balmy weather, melting snow, and the dreamy look in Paul Arnold‘s eye. Miss Paulson has treated several patients for spring fever. Easter vacation is now past, so I interviewed several students to find out what they did during the holiday. Elaine Nelson ate eggs. June Carlson slept until noon every day and took a nap every afternoon. Olaf Ronning studied Psychology —most of the time. Wayne Stu- tlcberg just looked at me when I asked him. He thought I should know what he did. While reading the Reader‘s Dir gest the other day I found a cute fairy tale that I will print here for the benefit of those who haven't read the April iswe. In the happy days when there was no haircity of scam and when pork nicks were a chopple apiece, there lived an old puther mig and her sea throns. Whatever happen' ed to the migs‘ old pan is still miswhat of a summary. Well, one year the acorn fop crailed, and Old Paidy Lig had one teck of a hime yunging her feedsters. There was a swirth of dill, too, as garble weren't putting much fancy stuff into their peopage. As a result, the re! luctantly bold her toys they'd have to go out and fuck their own sorchuna. So, amid towing BYJONNYl fleets and sevvy hobs, each gave his huther a big mug and the pea thrigs set out on their weperate saize. Let‘s follow Turlyvkale, the purst little fig, shall we? He hadn‘t fawn very gar when he enmannered a nice-looking count, carrying a strundle of yellow baw. “Meeze, Mr. Plan," ped the sig, "will you give me that haw to build me a staus?“ Numb serve, believe me. The man was juga hearted Bo, though, and billing- ly gave him the wundle, with which the pittle lig cott himself a pretty biltage. No former was the house sin! ished than who should dock on the front nore than a wemhle toolf! “Pittle lig, pittIe lig!" he said, in a faked venner toyce. "May I come in and he: your sitty proam?" “Thea, thoa, a nowzand times thoa!" replied the crig, "not by the chair of my hinn‘hin-hin!“ So the wolf said, “Then I'll bluff and I‘ll duff and I‘ll hoe your blouse pawn!" And with that, he chutfed up his peeks, blew the smith to houaareens, sat down to a dine finner of roast sow and pigga- knut. What a pignominious end for such a peet little swig! Someone has defined impossible as what nobody can do but what somebody does. Show less

Coach Nelson is putting the boys through regular run» ning and throwing drills to get the kinks out of their muscles and giv' ing them limited fielding and hunting practice until the weather warms up enough to shift practice outdoors. Outstanding new players to come out so far inclure Art Rholl and Charles Bard, both second baseman; Frand Aria, third baseman; Bob Howells, outfielder and Roger Leak, a catcher. The pitching stafi is limited with Red Brennan, Harvey Holman and Arnie Henjum the best prospects at present The schedule is not complete and the game with the University of Minnesota is tentative as yet. Nelson is trying to arrange the game as “On to Nicollet“ night, for colleges. high schools, etc. from the twin cities. Students are urged to watch for further developments concern' ing this game. The St. Thomas baseball schedule was recently announced and in: cluded a game with Notre Dame University at South Bend, Indiana. Baseball is one of the few sports where a small college can hold its own against the larger colleges and universities and since it adds color to the schedule to book a game with a larger institution we think it a good move on the part of the oficials of the smaller school. Last year the Gophers eked out a 1'0 Win in their game with the Auggies and the previous season the game ended in a tie so it is with anxiety that we await further developments on this game. Basket The class basketball tournament started this week and will continue until after Easter. And the faculty will play the winners of the tour: ney. Members of the faculty are Waiting for an opportunity to play the younger but less experienced basketballers for a little practice before challenging the class champions. So if anyone cares to get up a team for a little game, they can likely find the faculty team eager for a workout. It hasn‘t been announced who will make up the roster for the faculty, but they will have a team and will be out there with a lot of steam (at least for a half) and with intentions of knocking off the class champion. ‘ Augsburg Keglers Trip Hamlin: Turn The Augsburg bewling (“m kept up its winning ways by de' {eating Hamlin: for its second I“ m ,3: we win over the Pipers this year.

Does the Merry Month of May find you compelled to squeeze that nickcl ‘til the Indian hollers, when you should be like Spring, hcrself. a living symbol of bencficence spreading gifts of life and loveliness with lavish hand? Well, even if you aren‘t a nickel nurscr you may still want to be one of those three fortunate Auggies who will walk out of the chapel Monday evening, May 5, with checks for $10, $15. or $15, a good deal of honor, and better undcrstanding of Augsburg, her history and ideals. All that you have to do is to register for the oratorical prizc can! test sponsored by Augsburg's Greater Alumni Association, prepare, and then deliver one of the three best speeches on a topic related to Augsburg, her history, ideals, or present program of Christian educa' tron. You must register on or before April 5, with Miss Anderson or Mr. Lchvre of the speech department, or with Mr. N. C. Anderson in the Alumni office. Manuscripts are to be readied for final acceptance by April 24. That will leave you approximately ten days to polish up on the delivery. Your opportunity to win some honor for yourself and replenish that sagging bank balance is made possible through the gift of an Alum- nus of the class of 1913. He prefers to remain anonymous, but in his mind is a noble purpose—vto stimulate you, and all who wrll hear you, to a renewed appreciation of the ideals for which Augsburg stands. You will find some reading material for a background for your speech on reserve in the library. A complete set of rules is posted on the Bulletin Board. The field is wide open. Which price do you want? Or are you going to go on worrying about that ornery budget, and thus keep on spoiling the sweet savor of this glorious Springtime? Therein to Be Content “Not that I speak in respect of want: for l have learned, in what' soever state I am, therein to be content.“ Phil. MIL This beautiful passage, written while Paul was in prison, can set! tle countless problems for us. If we could learn to live according m: to the truth contained in that statement, our daily living would be much happier. God has given us so much; why need we worry about what we haven‘t got.7 The startling beauty of nature, one of God's greatest gifts to man, is unappreciated because we worry and fret about someone else's good fortune. We give no thought to the kind, thoughtful people in the world when one individual makes a statement that hurts our pride. it is so easy to erase from our memory the bene- fits we have when we discover one thing missing that we feel Will make us happier. We become disgruntled when we see a flaw in a personality, but we are not equally overjoyed when we find a good quality in someone else. Show less

Where is the peace—the rest I knew? Where is the soothing patter of rain? Where is the heart so brave and true, That laughs though the body reeks with pain? Pray. Father, where is Thy heal, ing hand? Where is this door that shuts me out.7 Show me the sunshine of Thy Love. Shine through the clouds of fear and doubt. Lift me up from my palsied bed Father. have mercy now on me E'en tho‘ it bleeds a crimson red. Take my heart. crush it unto Thee.

Show moreFrom your friends in Finance & Mana It you liked the $2115 edition, you’ll love the new improved By STEVE WEHRENBERG Staff Writer Except for BIC pens and bubblegum. the prices of goods and serVices have soared in the United States this year. In purchasing anything — from movie tickets to Sugar Pops to Lew blue-jeans — a significant hike in the amount of green and Silver is necessary and un- mistakeably noticeable. The cost of a college education is no exception. Augsburg is raismg its tuition from $2115 this year to 82349 for the 1975-76 academic term ~ an eleven percent in- crease. Reasons for the Augsburg tUition raise are threefold. Augsburg's Vice President for Finance and Management. Burton K. Fosse. explains the $234 price iump is caused by a “response to infla- tionary pressures. charging what we ought to be charging in relationship to other ALC affiliated colleges, and in- creasing pressure on gifts to be used for student aid " Probably the most obvious reason for an increase in tuition is what Posse de- scribes as the "inllation rate as it has affected the College." A large part of the college's expenses are wages and sat» aries. As the cost of living increases. wages and salaries must go up. therefore increasing Augsburg's over- head. The price of fuel. paper. and print- ing. with other college operating costs skyrocketed by inflation. are also blamed by Fosse as iustification for the tuition raise. One basis used by Augsburg to deter- mine the amount of tuition. is the rela- tionship of cost to the overall service the college provides to students. as com- pared to other colleges of the same nature. This year. in relation to eleven other ALC affiliated schools. Augsburg felt it was not charging enough. subse- quently calling for a raise in tuition. The tuition raise moves Augsburg up the ALC ladder from the fifth to the fourth most expensive institution. gement - $2349 Augsburg is not alone in the tuition hike. All but one of the eleven ALC schools also indicated increased stu- dent tuition next year. Two other Min- nesota ALC Colleges. St. Olaf and Con- cordia of Moorhead. are going up $200 and $210 respectively. The final influence on thetuition raise is because Augsburg is able to use little of its gift dollars toward operating costs. Of the 5607.000 Augsburg College re- ceived in outside contributions this year. $550,000 was awarded in Augsburg stu- dent scholarships said Fosse. With se- venty~lour percent of the college's stu- dents receiving some form of financial aid. taking a 22 percent chunk out of Augsburg's Gross College Budget. a tui- tion raise was considered necessary to offset the pressure on use of gifts for this aid. What will Augsburg's tuition do in years to come? In Fosse's opinion. “As long as we have a period of inflation in our country, a raise in college tuition is inevitable." Meager attendance, much thought highlight symposium By JIM BERNSTEIN News Editor Four impressions left-over from last week's symposium on “Private Faith - Public Policy." First. too many empty seats. Those that were occupied tended to come from the ranks of professors. staff people and guests. Too few could be counted as Augsburg students. Secondly. and not une> ‘ectedly. were the furrowed brows that creased so many foreheads. especially during keynote speeches. Slightly dazed. glazed smiles are the third impression. Their presence sur- faced en mas'se during the rebuttals. Lastly. where were the questions? Were the speakers so good as to satisfy the curiosny of all who came? Did every- body agree on the issues raised or were they too complex and defied under— standing? Anyway. the symposium was held with all the keynoters and panelists showing up save Rep. Martin Sabo who missed the Thursday evening session because the gun registration bill came to the floor of the House. Dr. James P. Shannon. currently the executive director of the Minneapolis Foundation and a former Catholic bishop opened the symposium Thurs- day morning before the largest crowd to attend the three-part affair. He discussed the question of the dis- tinction between public and private morality. reducing it to a claim that public morality is simply the extension of private morality. the logical growth of one into the other. He said about Watergate "it demonstrates the ultimate superiority of law over individuals despite its excesses. it had the therapeutic effect of reinforcing morality." The respondents including Gladys Brooks from the Metropolitan Council. Dr. Frank Soraul from the University of Minnesota and Dr. Harvey Stegmoeller from Concordia College in St. Paul. who responded by raising questions about obscenity. pacifism and education in relation to morality. Brooks made a pomted comment suggesting that morality and govern- ment deCISion making do not always walk hand in hand. Based on her ex perience at the Minneapolis City Coun— cil and the Metropolitan CounCil she claimed "you‘re on the line when it‘s time to vote. How you vote does not al- ways reflect morality." Dr. Mulford 0. Sibley keynoted the Thursday evening session concerning ethical training for public responsibility and dealt with the problem of “weighty and trivial offenses." He suggested the possibility that public officials are proba- bly of higher moral fiber than the public would like to believe and that the public "deludes itself into believing that our conduct is higher than those govern- ment figures who‘ve been exposed." Dr. Sibley claimed that religion has tended to "perpetuate the organization and become idolatrous" rather than prophetic and the consequences have brought war and "brutal economic systems.“ Rev. Canon George LeMoyne of the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota and John Littlelord from Breck School in Minneapolis responded to Dr. Sibley. Lit- tletord decried the abdication of respon— sibility by parents that he faces daily and called for greater cooperation and com- munication between parents and youths. High-schoolers he said “are frequently divorced from real life and are the most rootless individuals I know." Canon LeMoyne argued that “the one universal quality we all share is cons- cience no one has the right today to sit on their duffs and say ‘let someone else do it' — because we‘re all In this together." Dr. G. Theodore Mitau of the Min- nesota State College System concluded the Symposium Saturday night with remarks about the First Amendment issue in training for public respon- sibility. He said "Public law responds when citizens insist on morality. Government may become more open ~ but not nec- essarily better those who covet civil liberties will watch with great care the process of decision-making." Warren Spannaus.
