Show morePage 2 Adugn'sburg Echo Editorial Opinion Page End of the Road This year has been an extremely gratifying year for the editor and staff of the Echo. The staff, first of all, mushroomed in size. This grth found the newspaper trying to keep abreast of the many diver- gent viewpoints expressed by the human conglomerate known as Augsburg College. This was indeed a learning and growing experience for the newspaper! Secondly, though no real issues rocked our campus, the paper and its staff attempted to inaugurate campus discussion about such issues as Biafran starvation, academic reform, the abolition of ROTC, and drug addiction, to name a few to- pics. Hopefully these discussions stimulated the readership not only to thought but also to action. Lastly, the newspaper staff in particular benefitted im. measurably from the insights it gained attending journalism conferences and workshops. The staff became tuned in to the latest trends and developments in collegiate journalism. This was especially important because too many people in the col- lege community for too long a time have been laboring under prep school concepts of journalistic style and of the newspa- per's role in college life. Combating this problem was not easy! Many people, though, at Augsburg tenaciously maintain their prep school views not only on journalism but also on college and academic life in general. It is to this seemingly growing problem that next year's staff, headed by editor-elect, Darrell Skogen, will have to address themselves. With the prospect of a cultic neo-prep school opposition rising to face next year’s Echo staff and its editors the task of publishing this paper will be increasingly difficult. Never- theless, I extend to next year’s staff and its Editor-in-Chief, Darrell Skogen, my heartiest congratulations on their selec- tion and wish them the best of luck. 01' gevault . . . such a deal! M.R. Centennial Comments Well, another Mai Fest-Scandinavian Week has come and gone and its irrelevance has once again been demonstrated for all the students to see. As student participation in Mai Fest reached new lows it is equally certain that spending for the annual white ele— phant reached new highs while the local Norseophiles babbled on in strange tongues to the amusement of nearly everyone. A pretty expensive joke, isn't it. A Christian Outlook When deplorable excesses happen, I hear many cry. “Would there were no wine! 0 folly! O madness!” Is it the wine that causes this abuse? No. For if you say "would there were no wine!” because of drunkards, then you must say, going on by degrees, “would there were no night!” because of the thieves, "would there were no light!" because of the informers, and “would there were no women!” because of adultery. —St. John Chrysostom, Homilies Afingm‘sburg Echo thlllhod woolly by student: of Auglhurg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55404, durlng the academic year, except during vacation, holiday and examination periods. — An Independent Publication — Printed by Ken Saronxan Printing, Inc.

To the editor: I'm sure you present students at my alma mater don't realize how you disappoint and hurt all of us who have long supported and loved Augsburg. Many of us have prayed and hoped that our college would be a spiritual Christian institution, but our hopes shattered more than ever when we see you even invited King Alcohol to the campus. I never see a thing in your pa- per about good chapel exercises or Christian activities that can help the young people grow in wisdom and in stature. "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom," yo u know. A school paper should, and does, reflect the life at the school, and at a church supported school the life should reflect life in and with Jesus Christ the Lord.

We felt that the rather flippant Echo coverage of President Anderson’s c h a p e1 talks “On a So~CaIIed Christian College" demonstrated a failure to take this obligation seriously. Ap- parently because the writers came to these talks with pre-conceived notions of what they wanted to hear, they criticized Dr. Anderson for what was not said, without even bothering to take the time to on- alyze what was indeed said.

Show moreExtensive Treatment Necessary Drugs Have Long Range Side Effects by Emmett Smith To begin with, a clear distinc- tion must be made between drug addiction and habituation. Habitua— tion is a psychological dependency and is similar to any ingrained ha- bit to which one may be accus- tomed by long usage. Drug addiction is a physical de- pendency caused when excessive use of a narcotic creates a chemi- cal imbalance which reqmres con- tinuous dosage of the addictive agent for physical comfort. Not all drugs are addicting, though any drug can be habituating and may cause physical o r psychological damage. A SMOKER 0F marijuana may or may not be habituated; a user of heroin will become physically addicted if his use pattern is reg- ular. Curiously, a daily "deck" of her- oin is easier on the body of its user than excessive drinking or smok- ing, overweight or a bad cold. At- tendant debilitation is the re a] physical enemy in many cases of narcotics addiction. Thus a long term heroin addict may be afflict- ed with abcesses and infected hepa~ titis, this last as a result of adul- terated heroin and septic syringes. Addictive drugs are, of course, themselves long range threats be- cause, in many cases, continued use requires larger and larger doses to the point that the drug passes the body‘s toxic threshold and in bring- ing relief poisons the user. SOME BECOME more easily ha- bituated or addicted than others, because of varying psychological strengths and weaknesses. Those easily grown dependent on drugs are said to be addictive personali- ties, and there is some evidence for a correlation between addictive be- havioral patterns and inheritance. Treatment of an addict requires both physical and psychological care; he must be taken off his drug or drugs, going through days of withdrawal in the case of narcotics like heroin. Then psychological counseling is in order to aid in re— habilitation. By law, most persons must be hospitalized and treatment must proceed from there. The federal government operates a hospital at Ft. Leavenworth for this purpose. NOT EVEN the federal hospital experiences much success in tak- ing addicts ofi‘ their drugs perma- nently, chiefly because post hospi- talization counseling programs are weak and many, if not most, re- leased patients quickly go back to drugs. Needed, some say, for solution of drug problems are much more severe mandatory prison terms for pusher-s. better psychological serv- ices for addicts and habitues, and much stricter control of drug sup- plies, including foreign sources. Drug legislation came about as result of recognized dangers inher- ent in free and easy access to drugs and narcotics; before the initiatory Harrison act of 1914, controlling medical dispensation of narcotics, one in 400 were believed addicted to heroin in its various forms (in— cluding codine and m o r p h i n 8) through patent nicdicini-s— Mm.

The leaders yelled, "Once you go, there’s no turning back." The word came back to the head- quarters that the jig was up, but the Auggie guys, chomping at the bit (especially the ones who had not had a date all year) rushed pell mell through the halls and outside. When an unsuspecting girl tried to get into Urness, two hooded var- Echo Drinking Poll Shows 74‘70 Residents, 69‘7° Commuters Drink by Steve Frantz Anyone who happened to be walking to his our last Friday might have passed a light blue Volkswagen parked in front of Ur- ness Tower. As he glanced into the back seat, he would have immedi- ately noted the apparent taste of the absent driver. In the back seat could be found a case of Schlitz and a case of Old Style strong. At once, he would have recalled the policy of the school in this regard ("Good Heavens! Not at Augsburg! We don't allow that") and would JS Ball at Sheraton The annual Junior-Senior Ball will be held May 16 from 9:00 to 1:00 at the Sheraton Ritz Ho- tel Cotillion Ballroom. The cost is $3.00 per couple.

Appropriately with this event, a random poll on the drinking atti- tudes of Augsburg students had been taken three days earlier. The results were then compiled and ones catalogue-image of the school took its final leap toward total oblivion. Seventy-four per cent of the students living on campus, for instance, affirmed that they did drink: whereas only 69 per cent of the oil-campus students said this. THIS ADMI'ITED d r i n k i n g, however, seems to take place in residences of the oiY-campus stu- dents more than of the on-campus students. Fifty-two per cent of the off-campus students said that they drank at their place of residence; 53 per cent of the on-campus said that they did not drink at their place of residence. This idea seems to be contradict- ed, however, by the next question. When asked how much drinking takes place in residence halls and houses on campus, 54 per cent of the total number of respondents said that only some did on a scale on none, little, some, and much. Considering only the on-campus students though, a slight majority felt that much drinking takes place on campus. It should also be point- ed out that in the entire survey, no student felt that either no drink- ing or only a little drinking occurs. This would seem to indicate an ac- ceptance of drinking on the part of the student. When asked about the official policy of the school, 92 per cent of the combined number of students felt that the policy was not being enforced. Curiously. 64 per cent also thought that it should not be enforced. As well, only 26 per cent of the students felt that the policy of the school was a realistic one. Finally, 84 per cent of the students favored "legalized d r i n kin g on campus for students over 21 years old." THE POLL ITSELF comprised about four per cent of the student body and included a 60/40 ratio of on-cnmpus students to ofl-campus students. The overall result tends to be one of basic acceptance of the fact that drinking does occur. Some questionnaires also indicat- ed that the policy was a good one but that it should not be enforced. This would imply that to some stu- dents, the idea of drinking appears tn be acceptable as long as neither parents nor regents know about it. lets grabbed the door, kept it open, and signaled for help. SEVENTY-FIVE GUYS stormed the door. One Malvin man stopped the mad stampede. Auggie guys are really tough; who said any- thing about turning back? The guys were just tough enough to break a glass door by pulling too hard on it. Nine floors of Auggie girls, sensing their first encounter with Auggie guys all year, urged the fellows on by dropping various pieces of apparel from their win- dows, especially the friendly fifth floor. (Urges to further action in- cluded a training bra and a size 32AA padded bra, among others! When the boys shouted that some of the girls should be wearing T“ shirts, the girls a n s w e r e d with cheerleading chants. “You gotta tight to win" somehow sounded out of place. The boys then chipped in .1 rendition of “How much is that doggie in the window," ending by chanting, “Augsburg C ol 1 e g e — where the men are men and so are the girls." Judging by the results of the raid. especially the hang- dog give-up attitude shown when the door was broken, that sentence should read, “Augsburg College, where the women are women and the men are too." The boys finally worked their way into the dorm through a back exit, but the group couldn't push past Jim Lancaster. Sure, Jim is a big guy. but the Auggies guys are in the prime of their life (cough. sputter, gasp, wheeze, as they cumi- through the windows). ORGANIZERS 0F last year's panty-raid wouldn't even admit to being part of this action; they were afraid that their professional repu- tations would be tarnished. Augsburg boys stymied on tho lawn on a Sunday evening at 12:30 were prime examples of cases of frustration. The natural response was the typical four—lettcr-word- defense-mechanism which the guys on this campus seem to reserve for any experience when they huvc been "shot down" as the phmsc goes. Most of the comments made on the ground 10ch were unprintnblo at best: the guys tulki-d us if they wanted to raid the puntics from th- girls' bodies, not their d r c s a (' r drawers. BUT THEN. THE girls wcrcn't exactly lily-white either. The big complaint last year was that so many girls lost valuable clothing that they couldn't afford to rcpliiru. This your clothing was at a mini- mul value as flying objects teati- fiL-d to the fact that the girls get almost as much fun out of a panty raid (when successfully completed) as the guys. ‘ All in all, thr- panty raid, or thi- attempted panty raid, or perhaps the attempted - attempted p a n t y raid would be more precise, left a lot to be desired. r4boto by Dole 'udvuom THE NAME OF THE GAME IS HELP YOURSELF oi the Moi Fest Smor- gosboard held last week in the Commons as part of the Scandina- vion Week festivities.

Northrop Auditorium. The f ou r foot three hunk of man was practi~ cally obliterated by the podium as he towered above the stage and his canary-like voice gave premoni- tions of a terribly boring evening, To add to this growing pessimism he announced that he would read portions from his own nonfictional writings. T h e w o r d nonfiction leaves a bad taste at least for this reporter in 'that it connotes works like a biography of Solon or a trea— tise on the morality of Oedipus. When Capote started his head ings the listener forgot the ultra- tenor voice and the little man on stage and was swept away by nos- talgic memories of the bad old days. and enjoyed the smell of fruitcake on a cold wintry day before Christ» mas. It laughed at the humorous characters it met and experienced sadness and sympathy for others. Capote introduced people from an era that came before most of this audience was born, yet they were the same kind of people with the same old idiosyncracies. This, in part, accounts for Capote’s fan- tastic success in introducing his characters. The audience brought C a p n t e back on stage twice with applause. The fact that only four hundred people were there is understanda- bler Who would want to hear any- one read nonfiction for two hours?

Number 19 Drugs Provides Major Problem “Heads” Take Narcotics, Attempt to Avoid Rational Confrontations by Jeanette Wudtke and Emmett Smith Modern America is going through an intense and trying per- iod in modern history. This is a time of stress that has seen many consumed by grave questions of self doubt, most readily explained by the disillusion modern man has experienced with a technology all- powerful and yet impotent to pre- vent war or give a better life to all. Automation has become an ov- erwhelming force in the lives of many, and the urge to escape is great. As once concrete value sys- tems seem tofail, many people seek other alternatives. Realizing this, it is easy to see why drugs become, for some, an easy exit: chemical, mechanical eu- Sociology Class Discusses Problems With Groups of Stillwater Inmates by Nancy Peterson Last Thursday night 14 Auggie students were locked behind bars. Together we walked through the entrance to Stillwater prison and down the main corridor, shuddering a little as one gate clanged shut behind us and another was thrust open before us. Before anyone was admitted, the guard made a careful head count and checked ofl‘ each of our names on the master list. After we were ushered through three of these gates we turned to our right and passed through a fourth one, the door to a meeting room. Here a small group of in- mates waited for us. They waited in order to meet with us “outsid- era" for an hour and a half every two weeks to discuss just about anything that came to mind. WE 14 ARE students from Mr. Cal Applebee’s Soc. 58 class, "Wel- fare Issues in Modern Society." One of the goals of our group is to learn through contact with other people. Most of us had read about law enforcement and penology in textbooks. but we wanted to hear about it straight from the people about whom the books were writ~ ten. Well, they told us. Our bi-weekly sojourn to Still- water began in mid-winter quarter. The first few visits started otf slowly; it took a while to break the ice. But as each hour and a half drew to a close, we found it diffi- cult to break away. At first the inmates wanted to know why we were there, what we were after, what we expected to get out of them. They wondered if we had come to gawk at them or to ridicule them. We explained that we had come to talk to them, as one person talks to another, and to learn from them. THE CONVERSATION was not limited to prison life and crime. Topics ranged from philosophy (touching on Plato's Republic) to religion and the “God is dead” is- sue, to the meaning of friendship and personal integrity, and to how our society functions today. The inmates were eager to discuss all of these issues. Often they inter~ jected personal experiences 7 such as the thrill of cracking a safe, or the feeling of estrangement one man felt as he killed another, as though he were killing a thing, an object, not a human being. One felt as though it. was almost a cathartic action for these men to reveal their life stories to us; they spoke to us freely, analytically, as though they enjoyed talking about themselves, All the stereotypes of the “typi- cal convict" which we were harbor— ing, enhanced no doubt by televi» sion and films, were shattered and replaced by the knowledge that ev- ery man in that prison is a unique individual with feelings and thoughts of his own. Regardless of his crime against society, he is still a person, not a thing to be filed away and forgotten Sitting in the same room with these men, talking with them and sharing ideas and experiences with them, one could not help but identify with them, see their frustrations and aspira— tions. THE NINE MEN in our discus- sion group were amazingly percep- tive, sensitive, and verbally expres- sive. In order to enter into a discus- sion group they must first display interest in coming willingly. Then they are selected by the prison chaplain, Reverend Knolls, who is instrumental in organizing group meetings with outsiders. Group size is limited so that only a frac- tion of those interested are able to participate Within the past few years other groups have met with the inmates at Stillwater, yet it is still an in- novative measure. As the inmates enthusiastically noted, unlike other groups our Augsburg group is co» ed. One fellow has been a resident for over a year and claimed he had not seen a girl the whole time! Several men felt that interaction with people from the community would help prepare them for life on the outside. THEY EXPLAINED that after associating with convicts for long periods of time they felt uneasy in the company of “straight” people. They feared not being accepted, be- ing thwarted and disdained. To avoid all of this, they prefer to associate with ex-convicts, those people who will not condemn them for their past, who will accept them for what they are For some, old friends lead to old habits. And then the vicious circle swings complete, ly around and they are back where they started. Thus, more contact with people from the outside before these men are released from prison might aid them in adjusting to a kind of life from which they have become ali- enated, or from which they have been alienated. Perhaps groups like ours are a beginning in opening up channels of communication and un- derstanding between people on the outside and people hidden behind the high stone walls. phoria, an outlet from the contrived into the contrived. As an alterna- tive to so—called rational confronta— tion, frequently futile, with terrible reality, drugs are often too conven- ient to those who can handle them least well. A VARIETY of reasons are giv» en by “heads” for their drug use. Users may be depressed, curious, seekers of relief from stress, or they may be previously “hooked,” or indulging in an occasional joy- ride. Artists are supposedly big- time dope users, searching for dif~ ferent ways of perceiving the “real” world. Some rely on narcotics to boost otherwise flagging creative powers. Chemistry and commerce have made a wider range of drugs avail- able; the chief example is LSD. Narcotics are, therefore, of greater importance today. Indeed, the gui- lible, eager for a new kick, are gar- baged into thinking smoking dried and powdered banana peels would be the latest in a series of “trips” Drug use is on the increase; if it is to be cut down, better con- trols of supply are needed. This is, to say the least, an almost ridicu- lously complicated proposition. Many “heads” are in college and after a few years fighting that sys- tem should be reasonably clever at concealing many of their sources. THE UNDERWORLD h a s a vested interest in drug supplysand conniving lawyersijust as they do in many illegal operations. Pres- ently, it is rumored, the profiteer- ing facisti of Cosa Nostra are mov- ing in on the Cedar-Riverside dope scene. At least two persons have al- legedly been offered jobs as push- ers, ordered to hook everyone in sight (or out of sight), The terms are, on the face of it, attractive: a new car and fifty thousand dollars per year. They are less appealing when one remembers some of the syndicate's more charming little folkways, notably leaving the little man stranded, legally high and dry, when the heat is on%r, not so le- gally, soaking wet on the bottom of one of America's more interest- ing rivers, All potential "heads" should keep a strict eye out for any new organ grinders and monkeys in the district—especially the mon- keys. In addition to the illegal rankle from the Siciliano, a more long- standing hassle arises from the fed- eral and local narcotics laws—and their enforcers. PENALTIES ARE severe, and the charming gentlemen of the “nark” squads (or “narco” if one is a purist) are allegedly not above planting little packages of inter- esting content on the premises of a “pad” being “busted.” Which is more or less “good night, Marie," for all concerned on the wrong end of the Mace.

Show morePage 2 THE AUGSBUEG ECHO Augsburg Echo Editorial Opinion Page Double Trouble The use of drugs on the college campus is certainly a dif- ficult problem today. This is not perhaps the problem on this campus that it is on other campuses, but then Augsburg seems to differ from other schools in many ways. Nevertheless, the problem is an important one, and the Echo is turning its at- tention to the subject with another series of articles. Two dangers are important to note in connection with drugs. One is the physical effect of their use, while the other is the psychological effect. First, the physical effects are ob- vious. The drug addict reaches a stage where he must have the drug to keep himself flowing on an “even keel.” One of the saddest sights in the world is a heroin addict in a withdrawal stage. Cures for addictions to this drug are difficult and harsh; pain constantly racks the body. Is it worth it? Psychologically, though, the effects are equally great. The drug addict generally cannot face up to his problems. It is the same with a person who turns to alcohol to drown his sorrows. Contact with reality is lost, and the person soon does not know where he is or what he is doing. An LSD trip or some pot might temporarily relieve ten» sions. In the long run, though, the drug reduces the person‘s natural tendency to try to solve his problems under his own will power. This loss of will power is almost as frightening as the effects physically of being hooked on a drug. Drugs are poor defensive mechanisms at best. They can be misused totally, and they frequently are. Persons who want to “blow their minds” with drugs may end up doing just that. m HE wHo SYRADDLES F’tucrs GsrrErH Spam-1K; ’ “""m M our...” .44.ng r o flw_ / wk / « Mg»! ,_ " »r 97"“. ,“o: VA N T r s47 ‘l " at A" ~ LAK DIS ,. v r I /. “a: s y 4‘ .r / Aliaé'sburg Echo Published woolly by "indent: or Augsburg can...

The Foundering Ship of State Former Augsburg Student Sees Active Duty in Asian War— Finds Desolated Countryside, Heated Temperatures Almost Unbelievable Editor’s Note: The following is the first of a series of letters from Dale Hendrickson, a former Augs- burg student who is now in Viet Nam. Private Hendrickson will be sending letters and sketches coll- ccrning Viet Nam periodically to the Echo editors. This letter was written April 20. I arrived in Oakland on the 2nd and was sent to the Replacement Station there. There were about a thousand other guys at the station along with me This is what you don’t read about in the papers’ they ship about 1,000 guys to Viet Nam daily just from Oakland; troops are also sent from Fort Lew- is and Fort Dix. HERE WE WERE treated like cattle. Everyday they would pick details for you if you didn’t ship out—I was stuck there two days and was fortunate enough to be put on only one detail. I was called to leave on the fourth, and was sure glad to get out of Oakland. Our flight went through Anchorage, Alaska and Koyota, Japan. The temperature was in the thirties at both places while we stopped to re- fuel. Then it was on to Viet Namr Our plane landed at Bien Hon (pronounced Ben-Wu). The doors of the plane opened and a gush of hot air came through the plane. (We already had our jungle fa- tigues and jungle boots on, since they were issued in Oakland.) We were all herded to the terminal (which was nothing more than a tin roof) and from there we went to the 90th Replacement Station at Long Binh. We took a bus to the 90th and I’ll never forget that ride. We went through one town that looked like Orchestra concert On May 6 at B p.m. there will be a concert featuring the Augsburg College Orchestra. The highlight of the performance will he the presen- tation of Mendelssohn's “Relorma- tion Symphony." Other pieces on the program in- clude: Nancy Neulnaun playing the first in ov e In en I of Beethoven‘s “Emperor Concerto"; Loretta Crow playing the Gollen'nan “Concerto” for cello and orchestra; and Judy Kangaa and Mary Bod playing the E-llar Mozart concerto for two pi- shoe. The orchestra will be going on tour with the choral club May 16- 18. a tornado went through it—that’s the way it appeared, anyway. It was completely run down. Every building was a shack, with a tin roof and only three walls. The open side faced the street so that the people could drive their Honda: into the living room. IT SEEMED like everyone and his brother had a Honda. T he streets were packed with people, Hondas, three-wheeled taxis and army vehicles The shacks were only ten feet ofi the road and be- tween the road and the shacks was barbed wire fence. Our bu stopped once in this town, and right outside my window was a little boy, about eight years old, sitting on his bi- cycle, leaning against the fence smoking a cigarette. Behind him were two little girls peeking out of their house and looking at us. It was really some- thing to see. I wish I could have gotten a picture of it What trees there were were all dead, and the branches on the trees were blown to bits. l could hardly believe this town, but this is the way the Viet- namese live—in a disaster area. Once we left that town we came to some open fields. Here, as far as the eyes could see, was trash—beer and Coke cans, loose paper, and other junk. It was the biggest junk- yard I’ve ever seen. This was a good example of American diplo- macy results. I saw dozens of Vi- etnamese searching the junk piles for anything they could use—curd— bourd, lumber, tull cans of beer, anything. WE FINALLY made it to the 90th. We received more harassment here than we did at Oakland. Also, more details were doled out. I laid cement, filled sand bags, piled them afterwards and even baked some food. I was glad to finally get or» den to be assigned to a unit. The first Saturday I was here I had to take RVN training with the lolst Airborne. This training is re- quired for all incoming replace— ments. It lasted for four intense days. It is oriented more toward the infantryrnan than the clerk, which is my position. NEW I I 1 saloon APAIIMENTS 3‘0 Sghvh 5|. 5.1 Available New Cu.va Gm Air, Socvriry.

The range was outside the perimeter, in In unse— cured area. Two months ago the VC controlled the range, the first time in history the enemy con- trolled an army rifle range. In fact, 48 VC were killed down range. HERE WE FIRED the M-60 ma- chine gun (6,000 rounds per min- ute) and the M-79 grenade launch- er (when you fire this, you can see the grenade hit the target because its speed is so slow). We had class- es on patrolling, ambushel, vener- eal disease, and American-Vietna- mese relations. It was good train- ing for some people becaule it gave them their last chances to make mistakes. You actually get roasted over here in this heat. Did you know that the avenge infantryman car- ries 75 pounds of equipment with him? The wind is always blowing too—dust is coming out of my ears. This country is unbelievable. I was very lortunata to be situ- ated here at Long Binh. It is the most secure post in Viet Nam. It is also a huge place, almost as large as Minneapolis in area.

Some of these heli- copters used in the war are pretty sophisticated. They have more wea- pons on them than I ever imagined. The mini-gun is something else. Once this gun is fired, its rounds fill a football field with one round landing in every square foot. Char- lie sure doesn’t care {or this, be- cause it eats him right up.

Monday of last week the Aug- gie warriors lost to tough Morris in a non-conference battle 99-68. The Cougars shot 45 per cent from the floor and held a 54-36 half time lead. Denny Bengtson led the Augs with 21 points, while freshman Randy Johnson poured in 15 more Unbelievable AuggieHes Win Again The Auggiettes won perhaps their biggest game of the year last week, defeating New Ulni‘s Martin Luther Lancer-cues 5141 in a hard fought battle. The Auggiettes trailed at the end of the first period 12-10. The team’s shooting was cold, and it failed to work the hall in to center Pat Piepenburg. In the second period, though, Piepenburg began to score. piling up 12 points while the girls built a 25-21 half time lead. The Luncerettes were run right 0” the court in the third period. Karen Jensen and Matty Mathison sparked the tcam with good pass- ing and shooting, while the oppo- sition just fell apart. In the final period the Lam-erettes could only cut the margin by one point, and thc Auggiettcs won with a com- fortable 10-point cushion. Picpenburg ended the game with Ill points. Mathison added 12, while Jensen and Cheryl Neson had eight each. in a losing efl'ort. THE AUGGIES lost a battle with St. Mary's on Wednesday on the strength of four free throws by the Redmen in the last minute of play. Midway through the first period the team led 21-13, but with three minutes left the Redmen dumped in nine consecutive points to take a 38-35 half time lead. It was a see-saw battle the rest of the way, as the Redmen built small leads only to see the Aug. gies Whittle them down to nothing. Free throws by Tim Balakas and Jim Long solidified the win in the final minutes. Bengtson scored 18 points to lead the Auggies once again. Roger Swanson chipped in 12 points in the losing effort. Balakas scored 14 for the Redmen, but Joe Keenan was the leading scored for the evening with 20 points. BENGTSON PACED the Aug- gies once again with 16 points against Mac while playing a fine game both ofl'ensively and defens— ively. Bruce Mestemacher, mean— while, poured in 15 points and grabbed some valuable rebounds as the Auggies hustled to a 29-28 half time lead. Denny Falk stufied in 13 points for the Scots, while Mark Camp- bell nnd Bill Gilman added eight points each to balance Mac’s scor‘ ing. The Auggies used a zone defense for most of the game, copying the defensive play which Mac has used so efl‘ectively this year‘ In the first half, the defense held up extremely well, and the Auggies were able to hit well enough from the floor to create a one-point lead. IN THE SECOND half, though, the Auggies couldn’t crack Mac’s zone, and were forced to shoot from long range. The result was a poor shooting percentage. Mean- while, Mac built a five point lead and played stall ball, trying to draw the Auggies out of their zone. The Auggies were forced to settle for a 57-51 loss. The win put Mac in a three-way tie with St. John’s and St. Mary's for the conference leadership. The Auggies face the Johnnies tomor— row evening in an important game. Meanwhile, the Auggies’ two losses dropped them into eighth place, a half game behind Gusta- vus, which has a 5-8 record to the Auggies’ 4—8 log. Hamline is cur- rently a full game ahead of the Augs with a 6-8 record. Wednesday, February 19 —Photo by Tom Interim BRUCE MESTEMACHER lays up a shot as Bruce Wessmon looks on anxiously.

Look Forward to HIM: Meet Mafmen Complete Perfect Dual Season by Phil Dyskow The Augsburg wrestling team defeated UMD 30-16 at Duluth in their last dual meet before the cone ference championship at Concor- dia. Duluth is hardly a power in wrestling this year and the only thing they had in their favor was that the Auggies almost got lost on their way up to the snow-enr crusted land of the Bulldogs. The Auggies wrestled a skeleton crew this week as they needed only four men to keep their dual meet record unspoiled. The Auggies for~ feited 115 and UMD forfeited 123. Then Gene Skoglund wrestled to a tie to even things up at seven all. UMD forfeited 137 and Mike Good won by a lopsided margin at 145. SENIOR RICK SNOW lost a 5-4 decision in a close match at 152. Tracks’rers Face Promising Year; Pearson Depends on Frosh Help by Henry Loving, Jr. After over a month of practice. Augsburg‘s track season is finally getting under way. Coach Howie Pearson expects a promising sea» son from a good-quality squad aug- mented by a number of freshmen. Jim Piepenburg and Don Tangen will he dashmen this spring. Tani gen also will be used in the long jump, the 440 relay, and the mile relay. Other runners include Tim Peterson, Rick Johnson, Tom Brandt and Jerry Beckman in the Tom Nelson Class of ’69 IMPORTANT DECISIONS Graduate School Job Interviewing Insurance YOU WOULDN’T TALK TO JUST ONE!

At 167, 177 and 191. Augsburg won by forfeit as the Bulldogs were hard pressed to field a team against the powerful Auggies. At heavy weight Rolf Nestingen lost 4—0 as the muscular frosh continued to gain experience at that weight. Mike Good pinned a man in an exhibition for his second win of the day, and sophomore Bill Hickman won by fall in his exhibition match. The return of Hickman is a big plus for the Auggies as they are in desperate need of a wrestler of his caliber at 115. The Auggies are the odds on far vorite to repeat as conference champs next weekend at Concor- dia as they have many things in their favor. WITH FOUR champions an d several place winners returning the Auggies have an edge in experi- enced wrestlers. In addition to their many veterans the Auggies are bolstered by a very talented group of freshmen led by Ron Johnson and Tom Howe. Kirk An- derson is another frosh who will be counted on for a high place finish. Upperclassmen who are expected to do well include defending champs Mike Good, Rick Snow, Larry Stewart, and Daryl Miller. Bill Hickman, Joel Branes and Dale Miller will also be counted on for big wins The Auggies also plan to field a complete team at the NAIA meet at Omaha, March 6-8. From Where I Sit: Thysell Examines Tartan Turf by J. Scott Thysell A course in computer science might be helpful in figuring out an Augsburg baseball schedule. Old Mother Nature anualIy gives our spring grass a prematurely green look. Each baseball season, the Auggies average four to six rain- outs, and MIAC rules do not per- mite make-up games after a spee cified date. Consequently, several games are left unplayed each year. A glaring example of the efiects of a lack of playing time was a former Big Ten rule which enabled Ohio State to win the title one season with a 6-0 record, while Minnesota won 12 games but lost on percentage. WHAT IS MY magic formula for solving this problem? The ma- gic word is “tartan.” The negative reality, however, is lack of money. Tartan is the rug-like surface nearly identical to astro—turf, the playing carpet used in the Houston Astrodome. The football field at the University of Wisconsin is made of tartan. Tartan fields present a greater resistance to heavy rains than do natural surfaces. The big handicap of rainouu on a natural field is not the postponement of one day, but the soaking through of the mud and grass for several days due to the rain. Tartan, however, does not lose its flat surface, no matter how hard it rains. BECAUSE IT COSTS approxi- mately $250,000 to cover a field with tartan, it would be ideal if Metropolitan Stadium, Midway Stadium, or perhaps Parade Sta- dium would install such a field on which to play postponements. Otherwise, maybe the MIAC could pool its resources and erect a tartan field at a central location such as the immediate metropoli- tan area, or perhaps between St. Cloud and Moor-head. Show less

Page 3 Augsburg Artists Have Works Published Carlson's Insistence Pushes Campus Poets by Tom Bart To be accepted, no matter what you are doing, is one of the most desired rewards sought by egotis- tic man. If such is indeed the na- ture of man, then three Augsburg students are naturally happy with the acceptance of their work in nationally published poetry maga- zines. This whole thing blossomed from work submitted on assignment to Mrl Carlson‘s creative writing class last fall; work so good that Mr. Carlson encouraged and even pushed Nancy Follingstad, Anne Erickson, and John Engman into publishing. FOR ALL THREE, this is the first time they have ever even tried to have anything published which makes their story more remarka- ble and my story so ever much more exciting, which in tum should make the ECHO just about the hot- test thing on the newsstand next to erotic art. Both of the girls, Nancy with two poems published and Anne with one, indicated a long stand- ing interest in poetry and deep rooted convictions concerning their subject matter. Anne has been puttering with the pen since junior high school days and her poem, “For Such is the Propensity of Man," sweetly tells the church to butt out of the private affairs of people. NANCY, WHO ATTENDED an integrated high school, expresses in her poem “Manhood” man’s dis- creet attempts to box blacks out of our society Engman is a different case. Where the girls more or less picked up pens and began experimenting with writing, John has grown into his present status as a writer be» ginning in first grade when he re- cited poetry because he couldn‘t carry the tune. John feels strongly that “Dr. Bruce Riechenbach and his Ethics class proved to be invaluable in es- tablishing my intrinsic pectic mind," John is not content solely with being a poet. Auggies may hear the most talented John Robert Engman performing his longs-st work, the “Minneapolis Poem," on forks and spoons to thc tune of that neet-o-keen northern classic “Sally the Alaskan Lumberjack Queen" on alternating Monday and Wednesday evenings, and conclud» ing with “Stars and Stripes For- ever" played on the zipper of a borrowed Obermeyer ski jacket and a human head, also borrowed.

Show moreThe Augsburg Echo VoL LIXV Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota, February 19. 1969 No. 14 Pucksfers Rally Twice, Continue to Vie for League Championship Johnson Sparkles in Winona Game; Wanshura Goal Breaks Tommie Tie by Steve DeVriea Somebody once said, “Champion- ship teams are made of come- backs." If that is true Augsburg will be MIAC champs within a week. Twice in the last seven days Augsburg fell behind and rallied to win, first against St. Mary’s last Wednesday, and then against St. Thomas on Friday. THE ST. MARY'S game was one of the best played, most exciting and toughest contests of the sea- son. In the end the credit must go to goalie Curt Johnson who was simply unreal in the nets for the Auggies. Curt turned away 48 of 49 shots in the 2-1 victory, many from point blank range. The Augg'ies rallied from a 1-0 deficit after Jim Pohl pushed the puck into the corner -of the net at 11:44 of the initial period. The Auggiea came back with a goal by Terry Holmes. The refs were out of position, however, and failed to see goalie Larry Schuett’s glove caught on the inside of the netting with the puck. The refs claimed his hand did not hit the side of the net, and there- fore nullified what would have been a tying goal. What little control the refs had had until then was lost as the game turned into a wild shoving, spearing and slashing match. FIRED UP EVEN more by the no~goal ruling, the Auggies tied it up with four seconds left in the first period when Dave Peterson took a pass from John Harden, decked Schuett and flipped in the equaliser. Three and a half minutes into Auggies. Gusties Battle Tonight The Auggie puck squad takes on Gustavus Adolphus tonight at Braemar Arena in a 7:00 game. Tonight's game could well decide the champion in MIAC play this season. The Augs must beat the Gusties tonight and Macaleater later to clinch the title; a loss in either game ends the Augs' championship hopes. the next period Tom Iverson took a pass from Bruce Murray out in front of the net and fired the puck home. Then the penalties started com- ing, nine in the next ten and one- half minutes. Despite Augsburg's four penalties and St. Mary’s five, neither team could score. AN ADDED STRAIN was put on the defense when Corky Hall smashed into the boards in the first period and broke his thumb. left with only three defensemen, the Auggies continued to skate well. Hall came hack in the third period to bolster the tiring defense corps when they needed it. The Redmerl came out and out- shot the Auggies 15-3 in the last stanza with rush after rush on goal. Johnson continued to kick the shots out and helped keep the lead with some great aid from the de- fense. It was back to Aldrich Arena then for a supposedly “easier” game with St. Thomas. But the Tommies jumped to a 20 first per- iod lead on goals by Tony Ryan and Bob Elsen. Survey Reviews Annual Monday, February 24, a question- naire will be given to all students to help determine the value of the Augsburgian.

AFTER THE Auggies had had numerous chances in the initial period to score, Iverson took pass- es from Harden and Holmes to score eight seconds after a Tom- mie penalty at 2:41. Peterson continued in his new found scoring form to tie the game at 17:36. Torn Unstad and Harden assisted on the score. The goal was Pete’s fifth in the last three games. Harden gave the Auggies the lead at 11:45 of the final period after a spectacular save by John- son, as he sprawled on his stomach to stop a shot along the ice from about five feet. Harden was assist- ed by Al DeWolf, who was back on skates for the first time in weeks. THREE MINUTES later Mark Condon tied it at 3-3 for the Tom— mies. John Wanshura, with asista from Steve Range and Mark Sator- en, scored the winner at 15:38. Johnson ended with 20 saves and Bill St. Marie recorded 42 for the Tommies. —Pholo by Iron Anderson TERRY HOLMES (5) and John Harden move in on the St Thomas goalie nl Aldrich Arena in a game last week.

Arguments Pro and Con Campus ROTC Makes Conflicf hy Emmett Smith In recent weeks it has been known that Augsburg College is considering the establishment of a Reserve Officers Training Program (ROTC) to be ofi‘ered to all inter- ested male students. This is to be conducted with the University of Minnesota and will be part of the Army’s ROTC program. The pro- gram as anticipated will be volun- tary. The ROTC programs of the var- ious services are the military's way of assuring an adequate reserve of trained junior officers. Together with the Officer Candidate Schools (OCS) for regular enlistees the armed services keep up their man- power requirements for officers. PRESENTLY ABOUT half the colleges in the U.S. have ROTC programs with one or more of the various services. In the Twin Ci- ties area, schools with an ROTC program include the College of St. Thomas in St Paul and the Uni- versity of Minnesota. St Thomas offers Air Force ROTC. In some states ROTC is compul- sory in the public colleges and uni- versities. Thus, in Wisconsin, en- tering students have this ohliga» tion. All able male students are re- quired to take two years of ROTC. Included in ROTC classes are courses in military science and sev- eral hours of drill weekly. Credits are then given towards graduation to those who pass. Upon graduation at least two years of active service are required of ROTC trained personnel. The student who has completed ROTC training is commissioned a second lieutenant when he goes on active service. The officer is then able to rc-enlist after two years, or dcmo- bilize at his discretion. The first ROTC offered was the Navy’s program of Naval ROTC (NROTC). This began in 1926, and all who participated received a $27.00 per month pay allowance. In the ‘20‘5, when there was no draft, many students joined ROTC as a means of financing at least a part of their education. THERE ARE MANY arguments for and against the ROTC pro- grams ofi'ered by the armed forces. Both sides cite idealistic and prac- tical arguments as well. On practical grounds those op- posed feel the caliber of ROTC training is not high and that the army, for example, could expand its OCS program for draftees to supplement its yearly quota of West Point graduates. Among those who have had experience in service under both ROTC and OCSA trained officers it is commonly held that ROTC people are better sol- diers. They are considered to be smart- er because of being better educat- ed over a longer period of time, and they are thought to be less reck- lessly “gung ho" than their (us- ually) younger OCS counterparts. The chief difficulty of OCS train- ing is that it is very much more a "crash" program, and that it is the source of many “ninety day won- ders" whose experience is less broadly based in most respects. ALL THESE ARGUMENTS fly directly in the face of the objec- tions of many idealistic college-age students. Many college youth to- day are unalterahly opposed to the draft or to military service in gon- eral. They base their objections on ethical grounds about the immor- ality of killing. As one student who had been in the Army said, “The Army has onc pul'posv: ultimately, to teach you to kill.” Particularly at Augsburg many may base their objections, at least in part, on the biblical prohibition against killing. These persons are no longer satisfied with what they consider to be the tired cliches about killing in national sclf—de- fense. 0n the other hand, ii. would seem Augsburg is considering ROTC in response to the demand by some for this sort of program. There are some who feel quite simply ROTC represents a viable way of fulfill- ing their national obligation. Library Hours Due to a lack of use during certain hours of the day and for economy's sake, the library's re- serve reading room will main- tain the following hours during spring term: Monday-Thursday: 8:40 am.- 9:00 pm. Friday: 8:40 am «4:00 p.m. Sunday: 5:30 pm 9:00 p.m. If reserve materials are need- ed at times other than those list- ed above, when the main library is open, it will be possible go oh- tain them by requesting assist- ance from the first floor desk.

Show morePage 2 Editorial Hot Again . . . Again this week the campus discussion topic centers around the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). Last week, the discussion was filled with “euphuistic” generalizations and ambiguities. This week, hopefully, a greater understanding of the ROTC program as it stands at Augsburg will be gained. The ROTC is a program designed to educate and train future junior officers for short term service in the United States military. If the students of Augsburg College would have respond- ed to the recent student questionnaire regarding the ROTC, perhaps a valid sampling of student feeling regarding the in- stitution of such a program could have been obtained. How- ever, a mere 60 students replied. As it stands, this lack of student response leaves the pro and con ROTC combatants discussing the possibility of the establishment of an undetermined, indefinite program. In relation to this dialogue, however, a ROTC program should be instituted at Augsburg if a student demand for such a program can be demonstrated. In an age in which we say that everyone should be al- lowed to “do this own thing," it is entirely possible that “one’s own thing" includes joining the ROTC. Membership in the ROTC, then, under this contemporary approach to life can hardly be immoral, non-educational and irreligious. The ROTC program involves, really neither morality nor religion, but rather the basic human desire to do as one pleases. The educational value, though, of the program can be debated. Webster defines education as the “act or process of educating; discipline of mind or character through study or education.“ A ROTC program at this college would not violate this definition of education. There are, perhaps, other and better definitions of educa- tion. A ROTC program might not fit these other definitions. These and their relation to ROTC, then, remain to be discussed. Echo Editors Illogical? To the editor: The moral, ethical and religious issues aside for the moment, the editorial “ROTC” (February 6) is an example of poor journalism. It contains sweeping generalizations, unsupported or ill-supported. For example,“A ROTC program should be inaugurated for many reasons." “Many” would indicate more than one, yet the editorial gives but one; and that one is untrue. “If a ROTC program will enable male students to fulfill this military obligation the program is worthwhile." If you will investigate, you will find no branch of the military that will al- low ROTC to fulfill the military ob: ligation. Furthermore, the editorial con— cludes with a statement that is patently illogical. “In an age of na- tional cynicism a program of na- tional reaffirmation is not only un- usual but exciting." If the ROTC program is one of “national reaf- firmation" (another generalization, undefined but euphistically elevat» ing and beautiful), then how does one account for the fact that cyni- cism is characteristic of our age— “an age of national cynicism"? With the Widespread program of ROTC on American college cam- puses and with the increasing en- largement of American military forces, should we not, by the logic of the editorial, be experiencing an age of national buoyancy and opti- mism? Perhaps I simply have dif» ficulty with logic, Mr. Editor, but would you explain again for me the “many reasons" for having ROTC at Augsburg and the way in which such a program will bring about excitement and “national reaffirm— ation’”! /s/ Mark Davis Afiflésburg Echo Published wooth by mum. of Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnmi. 55404, during iii. crud-mic ym, .mpi during vumiioii, holiday and examination periods. — An Independent Publication — mime by Ken Scum" Priming.

February 19 Socialist Worker Meyer Comes Here to Discuss His Recent Tour of Cuba Since the revolution in Cuba, many Americans have stopped there on their way to Miami, of course, but few have been allowed to tour the country for as long as a month. On March 12, at 7:00, the Augsburg Student Democratic League will sponsor a talk, as an "exercise in free speech," by one of the few Americans able to re- cently visit Cuba. Mr. Daryll Meyer, a member of the Socialists’ Worker’s Party, who will be speaking in Science 123, was in Cuba from December 2'], 1968, to January 25, 1969, and is well informed in various aspects of the island. Meyer visited most areas of Cuba and met many officials there. At a reception in Havana for Premier Castro, he met and talked with the President of Cuba, later, he was also introduced to a high ranking official of the North Vietnamese National Liberation Front. Meyer was active in Berkeley, California, where he was the head of the Berkeley Young Socialist Alliance. Also last year he was one of the leaders of the Telegraph Hill demonstrations. Mr. Meyer's presentation will be free of charge, and everyone is in~ vited to attend. his is a controver- sial speaker, and it is hoped that In active discussion period will fol- low the talk. Letters Readers Student Sees No Quiet Study Room To the editor: At least two years ago much de- sire was expressed on the Augs- burg campus for a 24-hour study room. At that time, that need was felt legitimate by people on the faculty and in the administration as well as most students. As I re- call, Dean Johnson made a state- ment, recorded in the Echo, to the effect that this request for such a room should be filled and that ef— forts would be made to provide it as soon as possible. Indications were also that prospective places for such a room had already been considered. That, being more than two years ago, causes me to be a bit more dis- turbed. Since that time, a dorm and a center have been built, new of— fices have been located and fur- nished, and still no study room. Granted, these other facilities were definitely needed, but the need for a place which one knows is always quiet and available for undisturbed study has been apparent since be- fore the plans for most of the lat» est improvements on this campus. Over the past five years on this campus, I have noticed an increas- ing apathy toward study and schol» arship. Some have attributed it to the term system and increased stu- dy loads. But I feel that another facet is present not previously voiced. The complacent attitudes of much of the hierarchy over their positions, in contrast to their interest in pro- vidng and directing a true learn- ing atmosphere more appealing and helpful to the students, I feel has produced much of the distrust and apathy toward what goes on within “the other half." There are two communities at Augsburg. First, there are those of us with the task of getting and sustaining a good education even though many times we wonder why we should. Then, there are those wound up in a structure more con- cerned with making this a great campus through building, public re- lations and administrative achieve- ments. Granted, the latter must be pres- ent, but why not impress the stu» dents as much as those from with— out the campus? I feel the con- cerns of the student have been ig- nored far too often in preference to the prospective student or donor to the Augsburg organization. That is, in part, why I believe that this and other needs such as increasing the library budget to en- Express Opinions able longer hours and more books and to improve other educational services on this campus should no longer take a back seat to spend- ing for creating and maintaining a comfortable more for the non-student than the student. One of these days maybe we will get these needs fulfilled, “but first a word from our sponsor." / s/ Dennis Sylte Bailey Reacts to Misguided Letters To the editor: May I express some mild amaze- ment at the furor aroused by the recent questionnaire from the Edu- cational Policies Committee on the matter of ROTC? One of your cor- respondents (Mr. Thompson) ap- parently assumes (if one is to judge from the vehemence of his letter) that the issue has already been decided, illustrating the “pau- city of imagination and intellect" of the administration. Another ap- parently views the questionnaire as an initial move in an (one gathers a somewhat sinister) “attempt to establish a ROTC program." For some time I have been un- der the impression that students and faculty wished to be consulted when decisions of some moment were in the making. An expression of opinion, pro or con, was precise- ly what the committee desired, but it seems a trifle unfitting to ex- press those opinions in quite such vituperative terms. May I further point out, gently, that the decision has not yet been made. Neither has there arisen “any attempt to establish a ROTC program." So far there has been only an attempt to sample student and faculty opinion. Your cones- pondents, therefore, could be of more real help if they would bother to answer the questionnaire and forego letter writing until the is» sue has been decided, One misconception seems to have been fairly general. The proposal under consideration does not re- quire that ROTC courses be given on the Augsburg campus. That is, indeed, a separate matter. The bo- sic question is whether Augsburg should allow credit for ROTC courses already being given on the campus of the University of Min- nesota. Hence the question is ba- sically an academic one, and to that your w. ’ have not yet addressed themselves. Isl Kenneth C. Bailey Dean of the College Past Echo Head Salutes, Condemns To the editor: I am very impressed with the quality of the work you are doing. The quality of the writing through- out the paper is high. You seem to have attracted good people to work for you. I think Allen Zirzow’s work is especially good. Your Christmas issue on Biafra was just outstanding, and stands head and shoulders above the pup that us- ually graces such publications dur- ing the holiday season. Had I written this note a day earlier, it would have been all in praise. I must comment, though, on the possibility of ROTC at Augs- burg, and the Echo’s view of it. I find myself in sympathy with Bob Thompson's letter, and find it hard to understand the paper’s position. You say there are “many rea- sons" for the institution of ROTC at Augsburg. Then you list two: the matter of military obligation and “its being instituted." To the first I ask whether the editorial staff has considered the very real possibility that a military obliga- tion, as we now know it, will soon be a thing of the past. It was a Nixon campaign pledge, you know, to end the draft, and reform is now under way. Your second reason is no reason at all, and you do not really show how affirming ROTC is a “nation- al reaffirmation." It seems to me that Augsburg has so much it can do to demonstrate its relevance to modern society. I don't think that establishing a branch of an unpop- ular institution on the eve of that institution‘s demise represents the best that the college can do. It may even represent the worst. /I/ Loren Duan (Editor: Echo 1965—66) Show less

Most of the offensive fireworks occurred in the first half. The Aug- gies controlled the ball much of the first period with a strong ground game. All-MIAC r u n n i n g back Bruce Murray gained five and six yards consistently behind perfect blocking from the front line. Mur- ray picked up 46 yards on nine car- ries in the first half. Sophomore fullback Rod Snieltzer chipped in 24 yards on six carries. AT QUARTERBACK Jim Clau- son and Bruce Nelson alternated quarters, and both moved the team well in the first half. Midway through the first period Clausen directed a long drive which finally resulted in a one yard scoring plunge by freshman Bill Lundgren.

Dr. Christensen‘s article will be the lead article of the six part ser- ies which will run consecutively in the Echo during the coming six weeks. Student body President La- rhae Grindal contributes her ideas to the September 25 issue. The fol- lowing week a staff member will sample student opinion on t h e question. After a one week break in which the Echo will not be published. the series resumes in the eight page homecoming issue. That issue has been designated by the editors as the centennial issue of the Echo, and the series contributor that week will be Gerda Mortensen, ex- ecutive secretary of the Centennial Committee. Dr. Oscar Anderson will contri- bute an article to the series for the October 23 issue of the Echo. The series will end November 6 with an editorial written by editor-in-chief Darrell Skogen. Student response to the series, through both letters and conversa- Lions with the Echo editors, will be appreciated. Gary Syverson added the point af< ter touchdown, giving the Augs a 7-0 lead with 5:47 remaining in the period. The Auggie defense held until late in the second period, when Falls quarterback Jerry Trooien began to hit his receivers. After driving the length of the field. Falls scored on a seven yard pass from Trooien to Joe Rozak. Troo— ien ran around end for the two point play after an Augsburg pen- alty gave Falls a second chance at the points. Falls kicked off with 49 seconds remaining in the half. Murray took the ball on his eight yard line, cut to the right behind beautiful block- ing, and raced 92 yards for a quick score. The Augs two point attempt, however, failed. NOW IT WAS the Auggies turn to get hurt on the kick-off. Brian Kreibich almost broke away. but he was finally gang-tackled after a 68 yard run. Trooien took one play to score, hitting Rozak with a 12 yard pass. Falls carried a 14-13 lead into the half. The third period settled down into a tough defensive battle, nei- ther team controlling the ball too well, although the River Falls of- fense was a little more powerful than Augsburg’s. The fourth period was much the same, but Falls ground out a long drive on the ground, capped by Steve O’Neill's 6 yard run. The Augsburg offense remained stymied, unable to pick up even one first down in the sec- ond half. Although the loss disappointed the Auggie fans in the crowd at Ramer Field, there was much to be encouraged about. In the first half, for example, the offensive line per formed well. opening holes for Murray and Smeltzer. F' u r t h e r, Murray proved that the switch from fullback to halfback would not diminish his skills any as both an inside and an outside running threat. Smeltzer showed, in addi- tion, that he could handle the fulL back spot; Rod was a quarterback most of last season. THE DEFENSE also 10 o k e d much better than it did at any time last year. Falls quarterback Troo- ien, however, was able to spot open receivers a little too frequently; the secondary will have to play a little better than it did against Falls. The quarterback battle remains undecided. Both Clausen and Ne]- son moved the team in the first half, but then neither of them moved the team in the second half. One of these two players is going to have to provide the ofl‘ensive leadership which will make Murray and Smeltzer efl'ective r u n n in g backs for an entire game. Lack of depth and lack of consistency still appear to be the major Auggie drawbacks at this early point in the season. —Photo by I.

Music and being with THE Augsburg Echo Vol. LXXXVI Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota, September 11, 1969 No. 1 Unholy Alliance Strikes Here; "Skag" Fights Forces of Evil Left unnoticed by the panic caused by the arrival of another freshman class at Augsburg was the formation of the infamous “Un- holy Alliance." Never before has Augsburg College, that aged bas- tion of Christian good will, ever faced such a menacing threat as that created by the unnerving pres» ence of the terrible alliance. Things started harmlessly enough last winter on the second floor of Memorial Hall. All on one day the forces which were to coin- bine to form the alliance were mixed together by accident Rich Carlson moved into room 218, leav- ing the friendly confines of the third floor of Memorial. Doug John- son, meanwhile, switched from 221 to the solitary chills of 219. But, most dangerously of all, Glen An- derson moved out of a car pool into room 220. Now it is unsafe to pass that dark corner of Memorial after eleven p.n1. Editors Seek Help Help! Although response from the freshman class has been greater than expected. the Echo stafl is still handicapped by its small size. All persons interest- ed in working on the paper in any capacity should visit the ed- itors in the Echo office on the ground floor of the student cen- ter. There will be a meeting of stall' members Monday, Septem- ber 15, at 3:30 p.m. in the Echo office. A n y o n e interested in joining the staff is invited to attend. If you think you would like to work on the paper. but have doubts because of already- busy-schedules. come anyway. Arrangements can be made to fit your schedules. SO BIG DEAL. How does this affect the new freshman class, shel- tered in the impregnable fortresses — Mortensen Hall and U r n e s 5 Tower? Look at your CBS lists for this fall. Johnson and Anderson are big brothers, while Carlson is an alternate. The perfect situation —the chance to move into the dorms before anyone else, and lay plans to ensnare the whole fresh- man class in their evil plans. Luckily, however, this reporter (who shall remain nameless for safety’s sake, but will be later re- ferred to by the code name “Skag") uncovered the plot at the last mo- ment. A noted thwarter of evil causes, Skag pretended to play along with the now vibrant “Un- holy Alliance," breaking away only when necessary for his own safety and that of the friendly freshman class. For example, there was the Fri- day hijacking of the girls dorm. The alliance, hurt by the fact that only one of the three charter mem- bers had his own car, had to rely on outside help to ferry frosli girls down to the Nicollet Mall. Skag played it cool, offering his car and pretending to enjoy the hazing as much as the other guys did; it was all a ruse to gain access to the al- liance‘s inner plans. APPARENTLY the plot failed, however; the alliance showed that it knew all early Saturday morn- ing. As Skag approached the table where the alliance was eating breakfast, the question went out from Grimy Glen: “Do we give Skag the standing ovation?" From all corners of the table, the answer resounded: "Yes!" In front of countless frosh, the charter mem- bers of the alliance led fringe mem- bers in an embarrassing kiss-of- death-type standing ovation. The evil continued to grow. Sat- urday afternoon the alliiince began the birthday binge. Several lucky Auggie students were embarrassed to hear the alliance leading happy birthday chants which drew the zit- tention of the whole Commons crowd. Sunday the alliance returned to its standing ovation tactics zit the President's reception in the Alumni Lounge. The target: Skag, the people's defender. The evil didn’t end there, how— ever; it came to Skag‘s attention that the alliance was getting the birthdays of every Auggie coed on campus, plus the birthdays of its most hated adversaries, such as the righteous Skag. The unholy alli- ance was planning birthday parties on a scale never before attempted. But these were no ordinary par- ties; the guests of honor could ex- pect only horror and terror. OF COURSE, Skag has no chance to survive now. The height of ran- cid Rich, the weight of dense Doug and the pot shots of gunshy Glen must overcome our hero in the end. Only time will tell: Skag's birth- day is the end of October, and the plans are already fast afoot. As one member of the alliance was heard to say, “Nobody crosses the alliance." Can no one stop the forces of evil which pervade this campus? Send your suggestions of things to do to Skag, in care of the Echo of- fice. But send them before Novem- ber. “Fail Safe" Here The film version of Eugene Burdick‘s “Fail Safe" will be shown in the Science Hall audi- torium on Sunday. September H.

Friday witnessed the muss en< trance of green fresh to the dorms. After 2i short period to get settled into their battle areas for the year, the {rush and the parents both got the lecture treatment from Dr. Thomas Holman of the counseling department. Holman dcl iv e r ed much the some speech in scpiiiiiti- meetings with both the piirciits iinil the students, varying only the up- prouching viewpoint in his twu talks. The major portions of Holmiin‘s speeches centered on the iniprcs» sions he has giirncrcd of both pur- cnts iind iidolcsccnts entering col» lege. He saw parents, for example, as wanting the best for their chil- dren. Further, pnrciits. according to Holman, still remain the host model for adult life thnt the stu- dent liiis liiid.

Beecher later became involved with the administration of New Deal programs in the South and be came the regional director for the Fair Employment Practice Com- mittee. He then joined the Navy, and during World War II served aboard the racially integrated ship the “Booker T, Washington." His book, “All Brave Sailors," is a recollec- tion of his experiences on this ship After the war, Beecher became an editor in Washington, DC. and founded a private press to print his poetry. He has taught at Dart~ mouth, the University of Wisconr sin, Arizona State University, the University of Santa Clara, Miles College, and he claims jokingly to have helped to sow the seeds that are presently being reaped at San Francisco State College, His poetry combines slang and colloquial expressions and turns into wondroust phrased King's English in verse. He writes primar ily about social conditions, and in his works there can be found des- criptions of the plight of the poor during the depression, prophecy of the Black Power movement and pieces of anti-war poetry. He has published a number of books, including “Here I Stand" (1941), “Report to the Stockhold- ers” (1962), “Hear the Wind Blow" (1968), “Land of the Free" (195m and three other works liis poems have been published in numerous journals, including ones printed in Tokyo.

FENTON ADMITS that the of— fice was more than he had expect- ed before the elections of last year. A sadder fact is that that presiden- cy seems to be growing in respon- sibility yearly. The structure of the Student Government as it stands now is bad, To few people are do» irig all of the work. Because they are the only ones that really know what's happening, the executive of- fice finds itself sponsoring most of the legislation brought before thc Student Council. Because he serves on practically every on campus committee con- nected with student life and admin- istrative functions, the president finds himself in the awkward posi~ tion of being the only person who knows everything. This narrows the margin for error in his judg~ ments to nothing because there is no one to back up his mistakes. Richard believes that the only way to survive in this office is to de- velop a sound philosophy of opera- tions and to avoid pressure. Also, the president should be able to delegate some of his powers to the vice president and make the vice president the second in the know as well as the second in com- mand so that if anything should happen to the president, the vice president could take charge in his absence. Hey, just like real govem- merit! THIS IS WHERE Fenton and Refsland tend to disagree, Richard would like to see a delegation of the presidential powers while Brad sees no formal changes needed Brad believes that it's up to the people in the office to do us they see fit. The Grindal»Martinson adminis- tration follows the thoughts of Brad Refsland for Ron Martinson has promised throughout the cam- paign and even now that he will be h more active vice president. Ron comes from Amery, Wisconsin, where be along with the other 2,499 Number 17 inhabitants (the cemetery is out- side of town) spend most of their spare time being spoiled rotten by their mothers. When asked for this article to say something important, Ron, without hesitation, picked up a St. Paul phone directory, opened it to the yellow pages and informed me that St. Paul Structural Steel isn't worth anything. LaRhae was found to be in good spirits for a Thursday and an in- terview although she was rather weary from roller painting the ex- ecutive office pink. The enthusiasm of the office was already showing on her face. She is looking forward to next year even though she is going to be super busy. LaRhae plans to major in music and minor in religion. Besides interests in school and school government, La- Rhae finds time to direct the choir in her father’s church which has more confirmed members than Am- ery, Wisconsin, has citizens The re-occurring complaint of both LaRhae and Ron was that more students don’t stop by the of- fice and tell them what they want done, If anything around campus bothers you, stop in and tell some- body. They sincerely want to know. Timia Discussion On March 25, Timia sponsored a coffee hour with discussion center- ing on graduate school opportuni- ties for Augsburg students. Panel- ists included Miss Ruth Askov, Drr John Holum, Dr Philip Quanbeck and Dr. Joel Torstenson. The general opinion was that Augsburg students aiming toward graduate study are somewhat at a disadvantage to students at more selective schools due to unscholarly influences of some Augsburg stu- dents. Also expressed was the opinion that Augsburg students of suffi~ cient ability and achievement do get into the nation's best graduate schools and give strong competi- tion to their fellow grad students.

Cloud State Upsets Auggies 6-4 by Terry Blue Solid slugging St. Cloud State handed the Augsburg baseball team a 64 loss in the Auggie home op- ener last Thursday at Bossen Field. The invading Huskies took the lead in the first inning on a walk, error and sacrifice fly which scored Bob Schmidt from third. Augsburg rallied to tie the score at 1-1 in the bottom of the second inning on what could have been a not-tooA lucky break and some neat base running. W'ITH ONE OL'T Ron Potrich walked, and proceeded to steal sec- ond base. He was struck on the jaw with the throw, however; ear- lier in the week the Auggies had lost the services of catcher Byron Nelson for an indefinite period with a broken jaw. Petrich was un- harmed, luckily. Don Beach struck out for the sec- ond out of the inning, but then Mike Peterson legged out an in- field hit, moving Petrich to third. W'ith pitcher Bob Mielke at the plate, Peterson started moving to- ward second to drawathrow.While he evaded the tag in the ensuing rundown, Petrich stole home for the score. Peterson moved to third, but was left stranded as St. Cloud pitcher Mike Payne notched his fifth strikevout. In the top of the third the Hut- kies regained the lead with two runs on a walk, double and single. A second walk and another single followed, but the inning ended with a rundown on an attempted steal of third base. CAPTAIN JERRY Peterson led off the Auggie half of the inning with a three base blast to right field and scored on a ground ball to the second baseman by Jim Bish- op. St. Cloud led 3-2 at the end of the third. The fourth inning brought St. Cloud another run on hack-to»ka singles by Henkenmeyer and Payne, and a ground out to second. Payne finished his mound duties for the day by striking out the side in the bottom of the inning. Bob Josephson, who led the Hus— kies with three hits and three runs batted in, started ofl' the fifth stan- za with a triple to right. Following a walk to the next batter, the scor- ing threat was ended as third base- man Petrich grabbed a line shot fly ball hunt for one out, putting the tag on Josephson to complete an unassisted double play. THE AUGGIES struggled back in the fifth to knot the score at 4-4 on walks to Mielke and Bishop, fol- lowed by a three-base hit to the right field corner by co-raptain Gene Parrish. St. Cloud returned the punch in the top of the sixth by parlaying two singles, an error and a walk into two runs, In the last half of the sixth, Hus- kie relief pitcher Gene Fuchs had a control problem, lo a din g the bases on walks. With two out, Par- rish laced a 3~2 pitch to deep left field, but Ditty trotted back and hauled it in to end the Auggies’ last scoring threat Among several bright spots in the losing efl'ort. was the perform~ ance of John Wanshura, who col» lected two hits and did an admira- ble job behind the plate as a short notice replacement for Byron Nelr son. Augsburg will open its MIAC schedule this Saturday with a 1:00 pm, doubleheder against Hamline at Bloomington Field (98th Street and Portland Avenue South. A second doubleheader will be played there the following Wednesday with conference title favorite St. John’s at 2:00 pm.

A special trophy was presented by guest Chris Wagner, farther Auggie wrestler and member of the Alumni Club, to St. Paul Pioneer and Dispatch reporter Bob Scha- bert. The award to Schubert, who has covered MIAC sports for ten years, was made for his great con- cern for the MIAC as seen in his extensive coverage of conference games. Rice’s speech contended that wrestling is “part of the education- al process, and as much as, per» haps, even a necessity of learning as arithmetic and fundamental skills of other sciences.” THE SPEAKER cited the great change which international compe~ tition has brought to further co- operation. In 1954, when the Bus- sians competed in the wrestling championships for the first time, “the only time we saw a Russian was when they were escorted from their room to the stadium. All of the other teams ate in the dining room, but the Russians were under lock and key the whole time." At the championship tournament held in Argentina in 1968, however, the Russians were free to mingle with peoples of all nationalities. “We had a language barrier, but our wrestlers built up some real friendships with some of these young men." Rice concluded by calling for the written word. What if Mash-n is rich? SECOND.

Cindermen Finish 4th at Gustavus The Augsburg track team, bat- tling the loss of three important team members plus the problems of a difficult trip to Gustavus due to spring floods, settled for fourth place at a quadrangular meet last Saturday. Gustavus and St. John’s tied for the top spot with totals of 53 points. St. Thomas piled up 44 points, while the Auggies massed 21. POLE VAULTER and high jumper Glen Bruins missed the meet, as did hurdler Tom Keir? and runner Jerry Beckman. This forced some of the Auggie runners to run as many as four, five, or six times, and thus hurt the team in the end. Tom Brandt set a school record in the mile with a time of 41:25.9, which was also good enough to win the event for Augsburg In other running events, Jim Pie- penburg took a second in the 100 yard dash with a time of :10A, Roger Holt added a second in the half mile with a time of 2:02, and the 440 yard relay team took third with a time of :445. Running on ‘ that team were Ert Hermerding, Warren Peterson, Piepenburg, and Don Tangen. TANGEN ADDED a third in the long jump with a mark of 21 feet, ‘ 7 inches, and a fourth in the 220- yard dash with a time of :23.8. Lu- ther Eakken took a second in the shot put, hitting the 44 foot 8 inch mark. Lefty Johnson placed in the hurdles competition. The Auggies look forward now to a meet Saturday at Gustavus once again. A trip to St. Olaf is planned for the following week as the team continues to work for the upcoming conference meet. ‘1 Club Sponsors Trip The College Republicans club is up ' an observation field trip WILLIAM A.

A small band of students has combined forces to publish an underground newspaper. The four goals set by the editors are worthy indeed, and the students working on this publication are to be commended for their attempts to provide another medium for expression of opinion. The questionnaire passed out by the Forum was interest- ing to say the least. The Echo eagerly awaits forthcoming ex- planations of many of the important topics handled in the questionnaire.

April 18 Fireball Roberts is Racing at Auggie Tech Still; Even the Kids Who CAN See Should Prepare Their Last Will Readers Condemn Editors, Stall, Campus Election Coverage Editors Pile Up Rotten Manure To the editor: I would like to commend the edi- torial staff of the Augsburg Echo for putting its journalistic foot in- to its trite, little mouth. I am writ- ing you concerning the editorial article printed in last week’s Echo which happened to appear at such an untimely date, the day before the student government elections. I don’t know if just the editor, sev- eral stat? members, or the entire group was responsible for this ar- ticle, but the editor signed it, he most assuredly approved of it, so this letter is addressed to you, Mr. Editor. What you managed to do was to spread some highly incriminating terms over the name of a student of Augsburg, who has one more year of school left. He sure has a lot to look forward to seeing that the Echo supports him as the world's worst crook. I realize that the editor of the Echo has the choice of supporting one side or the other on important campus issues, if he uses his own judgment, pro. viding, of course, he can work up any kind of judgment. Obviously, this is something our editor cannot do. What appeared in the Echo last week is a clear ex- ample of what can happen when an influencing media like the Echo is in control of a naive and/or im- mature mind. There is no place for journalism such as this on the Augsburg campus, or any small campus, where the number of peo- ple to be influenced is small, and the entire group can be swayed with an article like yours. When manure is spread over a large area, Mri Editor, you can simply let it rot until you get come plaints from your own neighbors, or you can pick it up, by hand It seems to me that the latter would Cow-Ree...

Obviously it was a mistake to assume so much from our alert newspaper staff. I am referring to coverage of the Association concert, No men- tiun was made of the Golisrds, a group composed of two Auggie stu- dents and one Hamline student, ar- tists who play throughout the mid- westi This group evoked probably not more but certainly as much en- thusiasm as the Association. What can account for this oversight? It may be that the staff considers this group a typical, stale Augsburg group which one may hear every weekend in the atmosphere room. It may be that some stsfi members do not really know what is happen- ing at Augsburg. Or, it may be that it was simply a mistake. Glancing over the rest of the pre- election paper, I’ll bet on the sec- ond above response. / 5/ Brian Bottge Editor’s Note: Since the Ed“; is forced to purchase tickets, rather than being given complimentary tickets, our reporters will continue to go to concerts when they cln at- tend at their convenience.

Most things the human being learns are gained through an indirect relafionship to the object. Humans do not act from instinct as lower animals do. Those things learned indirectly many times stim» ulatc very elective responses to what might be later a direct expe- rieace. At this time the Black masses are handling the resistance incor- rectly. The brothers in East Oak- land learned from Watts a means of resistance fighting by amassing the people in the streets, throwing bricks and rnolotov cocktails to de- stroy property and create disrup- tion. The brothers and sisters in the streets were herded into a small area by the gestapo police and im- mediately contained by the brutal violence of the oppressor’s storm troops. THIS MANNER of resistance is sporadic, short-lived, and costly in violence against the people. This method has been transmitted to all the ghettnes of the Black nation across the country. The first man who threw a molotov cocktail is not personally known by the masses, but yet the action was respected and followed by the people. The Vanguard Party must pro- vide leadership for the people. It must teach the correct strategic methods of prolonged resistance through literature and activities. If the activities of the party are re- spected by the people, the people will follow the example. This is the primary job of the party. This knowledge will probably be gained second-hand by the masses just as the above mentioned was gained in- directly. When the people learn that it is no longer advantageous for them to resist by going into the streets in large numbers, and when they see the advantage in the ac- tivities of the guerrila warfare method, they will quickly follow this example. But first, they must respect the party which is transmitting this message. When the V a n g u a r d group destroys the machinery of the oppressor by dealing with him in small groups of three and four, and then escapes the might of the oppressor, the masses will be over- joyed and will adhere to this cor- rect strategy. When the masses hear that a geatapo policeman has been executed while sipping coffee at a counter, and the revolutionary executioner! fled without being traced, the masses will see the Va» lidity of this type of approach to resistance. IT IS NOT necessary to organ- ize 30 million Black people in pri- mary groups of two—s and three’s but it is important for the party to show the people how to go about revolution. During s l a v e r y, in which no vanguard party existed and forms of communication were severely restricted and insufficient, many slave revolts occurred. There are basically three ways one can learn: th rou gh study, through observation, and through actual experience. The Black com— munity is basically composed of activists. The community learns through activity, either through observation of or participation in the activity. To study and learn is good but the actual experience is the best means of learning. The party must engage in activities that will teach the people. The Black community is basically not a reading community. Therefore it is very significant that the vanguard group first be activ- ists. Without this knowledge of the Black community, one could not gain the fundamental knowledge of the Black revolution in ra cis t America. THE MAIN FUNCTION of the party is to awaken the people and to teach them the strategic method of resisting the power structure, which is prepared not only to com- bat the resistance of the people with massive brutality, but to to~ tally annihilate the Black commun- ity, the Black population. If it is learned by the power structure that.Black people have “x” amount of guns in their pos- sussion, this will not stimulate the power structure to prepare itself with guns, because it is already more than prepared. The end result of this education will be positive for Black people 3rd It Cedar BOOK 8.

JOHNSON 545-0268 hammeredng THE AUGSEURG ECHO ’ i in their resistance and negative for the power structure in its oppres- sion, because the party always ex- emplifies revolutionary defiance. If the party is not going to make the people aware of the goals of liber- ation and the strategic method that is to be used, there will be no means by which the people will be mobilized properly. THE RELATIONSHIP between the Vanguard party and the masses is a secondary relationship. The re- lationship between the members of the Vanguard party is a primary relationship. It is important that the members of the Vanguard group maintain a face-to-face re- lationship with each other. This is important if the party machinery is to be effective! It is impossible to put together functional party machinery of pro- grams without this direct relation- ship. The members of the Van- guard group should be tested revo~ lutionaries. This will minimize the danger of Uncle Tom informers and opportunists. The main purpose of Vanguard groups should be to raise the con- sciousness of the masses through educational programs and certain physical activities the party will participate in. The sleeping masses must be bombarded with the cor- rect approach to struggle through the activities of the Vanguard party. THEREFORE. THE m a s s e 5 must know that the party exists. The party must use all means available to get this information across to the masses. If the masses do not have knowledge of the party, it will be impossible for the masses to follow the program of the party. The Vanguard party is never un- derground in the beginning of its existence, because this would limit its efiectiveness and educational processes. How can you teach peo— ple if the people do not know and respect you? The party must exist above ground as long as the dog power structure will allow, and hopefully when the party is forced to go underground, the message of the party will already have been put across to the people. The Van- guard party's activities on the sur» face will necessarily be short-lived. This is why it is so important that the party make a tremendous impact upon the people before it is driven into secrecy. AT THIS TIME, the people know the party exists, and they will seek out further information on the ac- tivities of this underground party. Many would »be revolutionaries work under the fallacious illusion that. the Vanguard party is to be a secret organization that the pow- er structure knows nothing about, and the masses know nothing about, The so—cslled revolutionaries are in fact afraid of the very danger that they are advocating for the people. These so~called revolution- aries want the people to say what they themselves are afraid to say, and the people to do what they themselves are afraid to do. This makes the so-called revolutionaries cowards and hypocrites. IF THESE IMPOSTERS would investigate the history of revolu» tion, they would see that the Van- guard group always starts out above ground and is later driven underground by the aggressor. The Cuban Revolution exemplifies this fact: when Fidel Castro started to resist the butcher Battista and the American running dogs, he started by speaking on the campus of the University of Havana in public. He was later driven to the hills. His impact upon the dispossessed peo- ple of Cuba was very great and re« ceived much respect. When he went into secrecy, Cu— ban people searched him out. Peo- ple went into the hills to find him and his band of twelve. Castro han- dled the revolutionary struggle corn rectly. If the Chinese Revolution is investigated, it will be seen that the Communist Party was quite on the surface so that they would be able to muster support from the masses. There are many areas one can read about to learn the correct approach, such as the revolution in Kenya, the Algerian Revolution, Fanon‘s “The Wretched of th e Earth," the Russian Revolution, the works of Chairman Mao Tse- lung, and a host of others. A revolutionary must realize that if he is sincere, death is im- minent due to the fact that the things he is saying and doing are extremely dangerous. Without this realization, it is impossible to pro- ceed as a revolutionary. The mass» es are constantly looking for a guide, a Messiah, to liberate them from the hands of the oppressor. THE VANGUARD party must exemplify the characteristics of worthy leadership. Millions and millions of oppressed people might not know members of the Vanguard party personally or directly, but t"ey will gain through an indirert acquaintance the proper strategy for liberation via the mass media and the physical activities of the party. It is of prime importance that the Vanguard party develop a political organ. such as a newspa- per produced by the party, as well as employ strategically revolution- ary art and destruction of the op prcssor’s machinery. For example, Watts. The econo- my and property of the oppressor was destroyed to such an extent that no matter how the oppressor tried to whitewash the activities Page 5 chaps? Blocks Experience Above-Ground" Methods of the Black brothers, the real na- ture and real cause of the activity was communicated to every Black community. For further example, no matter how the oppressor tries to distort and confuse the message of Brother S t o k e l y Carmichael, Black people all over the country understand it perfectly and wel- come it. The Black Panther Party for Self Defense teaches that in the he nal analysis the amount of guns and defense weapons, such as hand grenades, bazookas, and other nec- essary equipment, will be supplicd by taking these weapons from the power structure, as exemplified by the Viet Cong. Therefore, the great or the military preparation on the part of the oppressor, the greater is the availability of weapons for the Black community. IT IS BELIEVED by some hypo- crites that when the people are taught by the Vanguard group to prepare for resistance, this only brings the man down on them with increasing violence and brutality; but the fact of the matter is that when the man becomes more op- pressive, this only heightens the revolutionary fervor. The people never make revolu- tion. The oppressors by their bru~ tal actions cause the resistance by the people. The Vanguard party only teaches the correct methods of resistance. So, if things can get worse for oppressed people, then they will feel no need for revolu~ tion or resistance. The complaint of the hypocrites that the Black Panther Party for Self Defense is exposing the people to deeper squ faring is an incorrect observation. People have proved that they will not tolerate any more oppres- sion by the racist dog polic 9 through their rebellions in the Black communities across the coun- try. The people are looking now for guidance to extend and strengthen their resistance struggle.
