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. Char» lie doesn’t bother with this place too much. All we ever get is an occasional rocket or mortar attack. At night, off in the diltance I can see the war. 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.

Molder has a fascinating per- sonal history that would put many movies and novels to shame. AN IMMIGRANT from Estonia. he has a masters degree in law, and taught law at an Estonian univers sity during the German occupation of the second World War. At that time the Estonian city in which he llved was frequently bombed by the Russians until, eventually, th ey marched into the small Baltic na- tion. It was at this time that he ﬂed Estonia and went westward only to be captured by the Germans who put him into 2: forced labor camp. One night while the guards were unaware, he made his escape. His i'xi'apv took him across Germany. 09.23% This Coupon Good for 10: ON ANY 50¢ ITEM WHEN PRESENTED TO OPERATOR 0F DAlRY QUEEN STORE A! e rerNKuN AVE. l. 24m 51. so. He was constantly under the threat of re-capture and probably execu- tion. His ﬂight took him to Berlin and to Augsburg where he devel— oped an interest in the art of stained glass. Then came D-day and the end of the war. He still marvels how the allies ever beat the well trained and disciplined Germans. He re- calls allied soldiers driving into town in their funny looking jeeps, wearing their untidy clothes and having their feet dangling over the jeep's sides, AUSTRALIA. Molder’s n e x t stop, was a tough untamed land. Molder went from one rough job to another including that of being a Iumberjack, The men there were so tough and coarse that hearing them cuss would make the most ardent American user of profanity turn his head and blush. He ﬁgures that with this experience he could, if he wanted to, out~cus anybody on this campus. It was in Australia that he met his wife, also an Estonian refugee. Their wedding was somewhat dif- ferent than the typical American wedding, in that they went to their weddng on the second story of a (lilublerdecker bus swaying to and fro through the streets of Sydney. THEN (‘AME a chance for Mr. and Mrs. Moldel‘ to come to the l'nited States, and in 1958 they set- tied in Minnesota. He has been ar- tist in residence now for about nine years.

Lutheran Brotherhood insurance Life and Hen/M Insurance for Luthemns Mr. Mulder has given up his for- mer life of job—jumping to settle down to a life of art. He paints and teaches classes in painting and drawing. But his main interest lies in stained glass. So far he has done windows for 15 churches and some work for three colleges. He has done glasses for St. Olaf and Augustana College in Illinois in addition to the chapel in the college center. SOME OF THE churches he has done work for are First Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake, Christ Lutheran Church in North St. Paul, Luther Memorial Church in South St. Paul and St. John the Evange- list Catholic Church in Duluth. At present he is working on the large north and south windows to be installed in the new First Pres- byterian C h u re h in Stillwater. These two triangular shaped win— dows have dimensions of 30 feet at the base and 12%.- feet high at the center. The windows are done in sections at his studio and ﬁnal as- sembly takes place at the church. He lays out the design, cuts the glass, sets it in the molding, and ﬁnishes the sections of the huge windows in his tiny studio in the old Scholarshop on the corner of Riverside and Seventh Street. MOLDER PREFERS heavy, sin» gle-coiored glass pieces rather than thin painted glass as is seen in most churches. He has a prefer- ence, further, in abstract design, and through his use of many pieces of solid colors he is successful in achieving this eﬁect, Instead of lead, as is commonly used. he sets his glass into a mold- ing of epoxy resin, which is much stronger for holding the sometimes one inch thick glass pieces. Molder looks forward to two more months of work in ﬁnishing the glass for First Presbywﬁan. He has been cutting the glass for three months already. August Molder always keeps a coffee pot, extra cups and cookies around for unexpected visitors. If you see his blue Valiant parked out in front of his studio sometime, drop in.

THE AUGSBUBG ECHO Page 3 Finholt, Andahazy to Go to Moscow Ballet Competition Linda Finholt and Marius Anda- hazy, two students here at Augs- burg, have been accepted u parti- cipants in the First Moscow Inter- national Ballet Competition to be held June 11 through June 23 this summer. Linda, a sophomore this year, graduated from Eden Prairie High School. She was her class Valedic- torian and president of her school’s chapter of the National Honor So- ciety. Twenty years old now, Linda has been dancing at the Andahazy School of Classical Ballet for eight years. She is an assistant teacher was received from S. Fedorovtsev, responsible secretary of the Organ- izational Committee of the First Moscow Ballet Competition. Linda and Marius will be danc- ing the “Grand Pas de Deux" from the “Nutcracker Ballet" and the “Bluebird Pas de Deux" form the “Sleeping Beauty," plus a duet with original choreography by Ms» rius to the Andante Movement of Mozart’s Piano Concerto in C Ma- Jor. DEAN A. MYHR, Executive Dir rector of the Minnesota State Arts Council, has commended the pair of dancers, saying that viewers “will ﬁnd their performances skillfully and artistically superb." The Andahazy's have conducted professional classes in ballet in the Twin Cities fur 23 years. Much of the revival in interest in ballet in this area is attributed to the quale ity of the performances of the coni~ pany. at the school and musical coordina- tor for l ‘ y MARIUS, 18 YEARS old and a freshman at Augsburg, is th e youngest son of Loran Andahazy, the founder of the school. After spending one year at a Franciscan seminary in Indiana in 1964, he de- cided to pursue ballet seriously un- der his parents' tutelage. He is also an assistant teacher for the school, and dances the principal roles in company performances. Notiﬁcation of the acceptance Examines Augsburg Dr. Anderson Speaks —n.m by on. rod-m- DR. ANDERSON makes a point in one of his chapel speeches last week. Prexy Assumes Middle Ground by Tom Hart Even though Dr. Anderson has now spoken at three chapel hour services, yet the annosphere on campus remains dralﬁcally un- changed to no one’a surprise. But then, was that the objective of the good Dr. Anderson, to change the minds of his listeners? College presidents llnd the m- selves in the very awkward position of having to relate to everyone and having to heap everyone satisﬁed, which in about as difficult and as painful as pulling your own teeth. Therefore the president’s actions and speech must be presented from a position uactly in the mid~ dleoftheroadandmnatevokeex- citemait and climax by pretending totalltotheleftortntheright. Attendance for the week was fair. however. A belief that God does not judge the righteousness of man on hia chapel attendance is obviously strongly present within the structures of the school. By this time Dr. Andenon has breathed I healthy sigh of relief, wiped his lauded brow, thanked Godthatitisoverandhasretired once again no the security of his padded cell. See you next year, Doctor! New Left Hopes Fizzle as Role Playing Lasts by Dale Benson Judging from the publicity and comments about Dr. Anderson’s ﬁrst chapel talk it sounded like he was organizing his own new left. Thursday found most of us in Mel- by ready to be shocked. Dr. Ander- son’s talk turned out to be inter- esting, to a degree; it was primar- ily a delightfully short sermonette. He attained a common identity with his audience by contending that the cross over the door of Sci- ence Hall is both architecturally and aesthetically insulting and pro- ceeded from there to alienate them. HIS TWO BEST points were that the cross was a necessary frame of reference to cope with reality and that it reﬂected the limits and failings of man’s abilities. It is in all politeness assumed that emphasizing human failing on the outside of Science Hall would not be an attempt to rationalize the teaching that went on within it. On Friday, Dr. Anderson ad- dressed the essentially all white, middle—class, Lutheran, Scandinavi- an descended individuals. He was telling them what a diversiﬁed and heterogeneous community they had become, pointing out the very real problem of maintaining a commun- ity feeling with commuting. ah:- denta and diversiﬁed interests. DR. ANDERSON a d d e d that service was the tie that binds. Serv- ice is necessary, he contended, to keep a heterogeneous group a com- munity. Collectively, these two talks were neither controversial nor particu- larly revealing, but rather proved to be an interesting exhibition of the role playing of I college pres. ideat. in Chapel err-m by Dale Pad-non DR. OSCAR ANDERSON Campus chaff AWS Banquet Saturday, May 10, the AWS Mother-Daughter banquet will be held in the Commons.

Spring Look Seasonal Fashions Emphasize Sassy Dresses, Sea Colors by Harriet Farmer The pant~look is being seen all over this year for the great new spring look. From bell-bottoms to trousers, every look is absolutely ideal. They’re even better worn with chambray workshirts or sa- fari jackets. For a more dressy pant look, a long sleeve dressy blouse can be worn with loosed- legged bell-bottoms. if on the other hand, you ﬁnd yourself jogging around town, or dashing at? for lunch somewhere; think sassy dress. They're based on the looks of the “twenties and for- ties." And the skirts are always pleated and bouncy. For acces— sories, long colorful beads are worn or a long scarf, just to add a splash of color. Spring colors this year are the sea shades. They are the colors you see during early morning or late afternoon around any beach am. But, there’s always one color that stands out, and for spring it's the veiled, hushed look of soft blue. I! you would like to add a few new dresses to your spring ward- robe, why not start naw'.’ Styles are more daring and fun this year than ever before. Just see for your- self!

Show morehand”, April 24 THE AUGSBURG ECHO Parrish, Peterson, Mielke Siar as Diamond Men Win by Terry Blue Augsburg kicked off its 1969 MIAC baseball campaign with a 5-1,54sweepofatwinbillogsinst Hunline this past weekend at Bloomington Field. In the ﬁrst game the Auggies gotoﬂ‘toal-Oleadintheﬁrst inning on successive errors by Hans line's shortstop and third baseman. A grounder to short scored Jerry Peterson. TEE AUGS ADDED ample in» nuance in the bottom of the third, scoring four runs on four hits after the ﬁrst two batters had grounded out. Gene Parrish ignited the Aug» gie outburst with a single up the middle, advancing to second on a passed ball with pitcher Bob Mielke at the plate. Mielke laced a single to center, scoring Parrish; following this, catcher John Wanshura hit the next pitch to left-center for Augs» burg's third straight single. Hamline starter Bill Campbell proceeded to load the bases by walking Bruce Nelson. Auggie left- ﬁelder Mike Peterson eased the crowded situation by belting a dou- ble, driving in all three base run- ners to ﬁnish Augsburg’s scoring for the day. IN THE FOURTH inning Ham- line threatened as ﬁrst baseman Nile Frawley singled. Dan Saun- ders drew a walk, and a passed ball moved the runners up to second and third. With none out, however, Mielke subdued the next two bat- ters by hatching his fourth and ﬁfth strikeouts, and he escaped the inning unscathed as Ross Doneho- wer grounded out to short. Hamlinc mounted another scor- ing threat in the top of the sixth, as Frawley led otf with his third single in as many at bats. He even- tually s c o r e d on Mike Olson‘s grounder to Peterson at second, maln'ng the ﬁnal score 54. In the second game Hamline_ grabbed a 1~0 advantage in the ﬁrst inning on a lead-off triple by Steve Gall and a single to left by center ﬁelder John Lent. P i t c h e r Paul Wiese bore down to strike out Dana Johnson and induce Frawley to hit into a double play. WITH ONE OUT in the bottom of the second inning, Bruce Nelson gained ﬁrst on an inﬁeld hit. An overthrown pickoﬁ‘ attempt ad- vanced him to second. Mike Peter- son then reached ﬁrst on a wide throw which drew the ﬁrst baseman 05 the bag. Hamline pitcher John Yeamen struck out the next batter, but walked Wiese to load the.bases. Yeamen worked out of the jam by striking out Jerry Peterson. Yeamen led off the third with a single after one man was out. Gall followed with a well-hit ball which was held to a double on fancy ﬁeld- ing by Parrish. Meanwhile, Yea- man rounded third hoping to score, but Auggie second baseman Jerry Peterson relayed the throw home for an interesting play. Evidently Yeaman didn’t wish to dirty his unifrom with a slide, for he barreled full speed into catcher John (call me brick wall) Wanshu- ra. who easily withstood the attack and put the tag on the runner. THREE ERRORS following a walk increased Hamline‘s lead to 3~0 in the fourth inning. Yeamen began to tire in the fourth, though, and the Auggies scored one. With the bases loaded, Parrish was safe at ﬁrst on an error as a run scored. With two out in the bottom of the sixth the Auggies ﬁnally got going. Jim Bishop singled to right, scoring as Parrish cracked a triple to deep right center. Mielke knotted the score by slamming a single to right to score Parrish.

Hamline went ahead 4-3 in the top of the inning as an error, sin— gle and walk were followed by a run producing squeeze play on which Frawley scored. In the bottom half of the inning Augsburg had its back to the wall again. With one out, Parrish sin- gled to left. We pitches later he scored as Mielke belted a 400-foot triple to center ﬁeld. Wanshura and Nelson were walked intentionv ally. Mac Heel came on in relief for the Pipers, and on his ﬁrst pitch Mike Peterson laced a single past the shortstop for the ﬁnal 5-4 mar- gin. CO-CAPTAIN GENE PARRISH dives back to ﬁrst in plenty of time to beat lhe attempted pick-oil throw. Parrish was four for nine in the doubleheader with Hemline. Cindermen Parlay Medley Points info Third Place Gus’ravus Finish by Darrell Skogen The Augsburg track team, bene- ﬁtting from the p r a c tic e time gained during the indoor track sea- son, ﬁnished third in a relay tour~ nament held at Gustavus last week, end. The team total of 83 points fell just short of the totals of 106 and 93 points recorded by Gustavus and Bethe] respectively, and far outdistanced Concordia’s total of 19 and Morris’ four. The two mile relay team won a ﬁrst place with a time of 8224.4. Runners on this team included cap- tain Tom Brandt, Rick Johnson. and Tom and Jim Fischer. The win- ning time was only .8 of a second short of the school record, and Pearson blames this on the cold, windy weather at Gustavus. With good weather in the future and con- tinuing improvement, Pearson ex- pects this record to fall soon. THE DISTANCE medley relay team also grabbed off a ﬁrst place ﬁnish. Tom Reiﬁ‘ ran the quarter, Tim Peterson the half, Jerry Beck- man the threerquarter, and Brandt the mile. The winning time was 11:10.3, and once again the wind had much to do with the slightly slower than school record time. In the three mile run, Brandt and Beckman placed ﬁrst and second respectively, with times of 15:29 and 15:48. Heavy duty runner Brandt has to be considered the strong man of the Auggie running corps. Glen Bruins ran away with the pole vault competition once again, soaring 13 feet six inches to cap- ture ﬁrst. In other ﬁeld events, freshman Luther Bakken took sec end in the shot put with a throw of 44 feet 11 inches. Don Tangen ﬁnished second with a long jump of 22 feet four inches, and had jumped 22 feet 10 inches on his last jump. However, this last attempt was scratched due to a violation of the jump line.

(‘o-captain Glen Peterson tried his hand at the javelin for the ﬁrst time and placed ln the top ﬁve in the event. In the other relay events, the Auggies picked up two second place ﬁnishes. The sprint medley relay team's time of 3: 3.2 was only :022 off the school record of 3:36. Jim Piepenburg and Warren Peterson ran the two 220 yard legs of the medley with leg pulls, Tangen ran the quarter in the sprint medley in :50.s, close to [llv lime run on the i‘ccornlrsctting med- ley run, while Tim Peterson's 2:00 ln the half was also very fast. Peal'r son thinks that the medley record will fall before the season is out with better weather and recovery from injuries by Piepcnburg and Peterson. In the mile relay, the timc of 3:271 was :011 off the school in». mi, and was good enough for sec. and place in a close ﬁnish. Tangcn anchored this event with a time of :50.3, while Johnson ran his stint in :51.7. The two Peterson boys also ran on this event, and Pearson looks for this record to fall also. THE TEAM ADDED two third place relay ﬁnishes. In the shuttle hurdle relay, Lefty Johnson and Tom Rciﬂ ran the high hurdles while Rick Johnson and Tom Fisch- or ran the lows. Final time was 1:093].

The boundaries of this area approxi- mately are downtown, Lyndale AVA enue, Hiawatha Avenue, and 36th Street. It is made up of a very strong white population with more Indians than blacks. From Augsburg, Rev. Youngdahl, Mr. Bloom, and Mr. Clyde are in- volved in the program. While Youngdahl and Bloom are mostly avid listeners at the meetings, Mr. Bloom works as a representative and presents ideas to the commun» ity. He is still asociated with our college as well. The Minneapolis Model Neigh< borhood which started in November of 1967, is Still on the planning stage. A plan of evaluation will be due on June 15 of this year. This program will last for ﬁve years. The p r0 1: r a m appeals to many phases such as education, housing, law, and human development. In many ways the Model Cities pro» gram shows similarities to the Pi- lot City in north Minneapolis. RESIDENTS FROM the Model of the city‘s substandard City program ask for “social pow- er" and are given this right by cre- ating their own authority. Speakr ers come to the meetings that are held, and they are able to present plans. But it is up to the people of the community to decide what they want. The residents have the ﬁnal say. At the end of ﬁve years the pro- gram will phase out. The decision of continuing in the same Way will rely on the attitudes of the resin dents of the community. If the mo» tives of this model program work, further consideration will go into planning development for the en. tire Metropolitan area. The Model Cities program hopes to join together many agencies, lev- els of government as well as prir vate organizations. Also it hopes to create new services where they are needed. Resident participation is to become meaningful in both plan- ning and in carrying out the plans. TWO DEFINITE advantages to the Model Neighborhood program are the bonus funds and priority features. These chief advantages let the local people choose what help they want in the programs that they themselves create. During the year, several meet» ings will be held. Public discussion is encouraged. With public particir pation new approaches will be seen on various ideas and p r o ble m 5. Anyone may also volunteer to join committees or just (0 voice their own opinion. 7 4mm 5.

Dr. Anderson's chapel talks last week disappointed many in the Augsburg community. After his excellent opening on Monday it was felt that he was going to present on the suc~ ceeding days an outline of purpose and change for the future of Augsburg College. No outline of change was presented. For the school this was unfortunate. At an ideal time our school has chosen to hedge on an important question. It is important that the Augsburg community ask itself what its role is as both a Christian college and as an institution of higher learning searching for truth. Augsburg faces a dilemma—is it a Christian school ﬁrst and then a center for learning, or is Augsburg ﬁrst an aca- demic community and then committed to some form of Chris- tian principles? Augsburg essentially has an identity prob— lem. Our community doesn‘t know what it is or where it is going. The brinkmanship of the is amazing. It has conveniently administration‘over the years pushed aside any decision as to a total commitment either to the sacred or to the secular.

Fine Arts Week Sponsors Film, Poefry, Music; Evenfs Confinue Through Bus by Lorry Ann Lundborg Fine Arts Week has been re vived on the Augsburg campus through the eﬁm'ts of Allen Zirzow and the Fine Arts Commission Monday afternoon Sia Armajani told a few Augsburg students and faculty a “few stories” to prepare them to view the “New Sensibili- ties," a computer-generated motion picture and slide presentation. A1- most anything can be done by com~ putch because there is “no tradi- tion to fall back on," said Armaja- ni. He showed slides which docu- mented the possibility of a trian- gle moving to the end dimension registered on a computer screen with “color added to make it pret- ty.“ ARMAJANI also showed a ﬁlm which he called “The Story of a Cube." The movie consisted of a white cube moving about space, formed by mathematical symbols fed to the computer. Those who missed this presententation missed an excellent opportunity to view a new form of art. Dudley Rigg's Brave New Work- shop, a success at last year’s One Day in May, appeared Wednesday morning with a “modiﬁed laugh- in” satirical presentation. In the evening entertainment was offered in the Knotty Niche. Films made by Steve Hartwick, Dave Co- lacci and John Newhouse in the ln~ dependent Study program under Mr. Thompson were shown. MR. CRAIG CARLSON and John Baudhuin gave a poetry reading. Music was furnished by the Aim American Ensemble consisting of Tony Paul, Howard Mobley, and Doug Peagler. and the “Joint Ef» fort." formerly known as Mark and Mark. If you have failed to attend any of this week‘s events. there is still time to attend the remaining ac- tivities. Today at 3:00 Prof. Donald Gustafson auctions all recent paint- ings, sculptures, ceramic pottery, drawings, and prints by talented Augsburg students and faculty in the Quad (weather permitting). At 7:30 tonight in the Commons two groups of Twin City musicians specializing in chamber music of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries Clergyman Boyd Discusses Revolution in Our Society by LeRoy Jensen The famed, liberal clergyman ( 1’) Malcolm Boyd opened the morning convocation of March 26 with a discussion of “the various revolu~ tions in our contemporary society" and other irrelevant remarks. For Father Boyd, the sexual rev- olution consists of young people asking the question: “W h a t is sex?" “For present standards of sexual morality," a c c o r din g to Boyd‘s nee-pagan situational ethv ics, “are deﬁcient and new values are needed to replace them. Legal marriage, c o n t r a r y to society's standards, does not guarantee a moral relationship between a man and a woman. Today some of the older married couples have totally immoral relationships w h e r e a 5 some of the younger unmarried couples I have met have truly mor- al relationships." ANOTHER AREA of revolution is in “the university." Here the question is: “What is a college and a university?” “Many students tra- gically see their role in an academic institution only as a number. But students don‘t want digits, they want to be human." To meet this problem, Boyd be~ lieves that there are three good al— ternatives for institutions of high- er learning: a greater development of the free university, a new type of administrator who is sensitive to student demands. and a redeﬁnition of people giving money. Speaking with the authority of an educator, Boyd also feels that “there are too many students in college today. Students should not be forced to go to college because of status reasons. For it is a sick society who says that you must be a college graduate to count." Rath— er one should only attend college if that type of institution is suited to his personality and needs. ANOTHER AREA of revolution is within the church. “in the past," Father Boyd explained synically, “a student’s concern with religion might be a discussion of how many persons there are in the Trinity. Today a student’s religious con- cerns are tied in with the social is- sues of the day such as poverty and war. However, the institutional church is not confronting these so- cial issues. As a result, many stu- dents must reject the church." He continued by stating that some of these students join the under- ground church. The underground church consists of “those people who do not want to be separated from other people and those who want an articulation between the church and contempor- ary social issues." Lastly, the avant-garde minister with blue language spoke about the black revolution. He traced his own experiences in the movement from his days as a "communist" freedom rider in the 1950's to his involvement with SNCC in the 1960’s. Regarding the present racial sit- uation, he stated that “separatism must be considered a tactical sep- aration for a mutual goal; how- ever. isolationism should be avoid- ed." “When asked what whites can now do for the black revolution. he stated two areas of action. “One, there is a need for the stue dy of black culture within our edu- cational institutions. For in the past, educational institutions have utterly failed in their teaching of black history. Second, whites should go back to their individual communities to change the struc- ture of the establishment. For ac- tivism means involvement." y Friday Nighl will perform. John Mosand, Augs- burg‘s oboe-playing art teacher, is a member of the “Hortus Musicus." The second group is “The Chamber Players," 8 woodwind group. GARY HAGEN, Augsburg soph~ omore, presents “Poetry and Wor- ship" in Friday‘s chapel. From 942130 Friday eve n i n g Dean Carr, local, long-haired folk singer, will sing in the Knotty Niche. Another accomplishment of the Fine Arts Commission for Fine Arts Week is the Wheel" located in the Commons. “Centennial Finally, in the illustrious words of Jim Fischer, Al Zirzow tells Augsburg students, “Fire Up!" and ﬁnally got it to turn. The wheel is powered by a small electric moe tor like those used to lift auto- matic garage doors. The engine can only run a few minutes before it overheats. THE IDEA for the project came when President Anderson request- ed three banners to be designed by the art department commemorat- ing Augsburg‘s centennial. The art students rebelled. They felt that banners were a dead art form and they sought something a little more vital, more relevant to the present day and age—thus we have the disc. The disc contains 100 ping-pong balls, each one corresponding to one of the hundred years the school has been in existence. The color green, I suppose, s y m be] i z e s growth, although I rather think green was the only color available. As the wheel turns it makes a sound not unlike a stampede of huﬁalo. When the disc was ﬁrst tried out, one of the cooks in the commons came running out won- dering if the Center was caving in or something. I bet Dr. Anderson shudders to think of what will come next in this great, creative drive. I wonder . . . maybe Science Hall would look good wrapped up in a giant plastic bag. MElVA LYON.

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.

From left to right, Secretary LoRhue Grindul, President Richard Fen- ton, Treasurer Richard King, and Vice-President Brod Refslond. The person who sits as president of the Augsburg Student Society with its budget of $42,000 and its responsibilities to the Augsburg student can’t help but be a busy person.

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 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.

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.

Show morePART IV Most human behavior is learned behavior. 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. Leclure Reviewed For other views concerning the race issue. see the story on page two about Milton Williams' lecture. The lecture series, which will continue throughout the re- mainder of the term. is attempt- ing to help white students rec- ognize the problems of institu- Iional racism. Lectures are held on Wednesdays at 3:30 in the Science Hall Auditorium. except for occasional letters that come to their homes by night. Un- derground parties cannot distribute leaﬂets announcing an underground meeting. These are contradictions and inconsistencies of the so-called revolutionaries.

FRESHMAN TOM Reiif paced the elforts of the team by placing ﬁrst in the low hurdles and second in the high hurdles. Reiﬁ’s times of :07.4 and :07.9 were new school records in those two events. Another freshman, Don Tangen, won the long jump with a winning mark of 21 feet 11%.: inches. Luther Bakken, freshman shotrputter, con- tinued to improve, throwing the put 45 feet 4 inches, only two inch» es short of the school record and good enough for second place. Rick Johnson dueled St. Olaf’s John Hotchkiss in the 600 yard dash, and won quite easily with a time of 1:199. Johnson and Hotch- kiss left the other two ninners far out of the picture. Meanwhile, Glen Bruins vaulted 13 feet 6 inches to win the pole vaulting event. His nearest competitor could manage a height of only 12 feet. IN THE TWO mile run, 'I‘om Brandt and Jerry Beckman ﬁnished third and fourth respectively with times of 10:00 and 10:14. In the 60 yard dash, Jim Piepenburg’s time of :06.6 was the same as ﬁrst place ﬁnisher Steve Johnson of St. Olaf, but Peipenburg was given third in a close ﬁnish.

Fourth place ﬁnishers included Jim Fischer in the 1000 yard run with a time of 2:265, Roger Holt in the 880 yard run at 2105.3 and Tom Brandt in the mile run with a team record of 4:293. All in all, the meet was quite a success for the rapidly improving Auggn'es. The Cindermen have dis- played strength in the ﬁeld events through the early portion of the season; now the track events are starting to pick up also. Continued improvement from Reiff, Piepen- burg, Holt, Nielsen, the Petersons, Tom and Jim Fischer and Saul Stensvaag will be necessary if the team is to improve further before the conference meet. Brandt and Glen Peterson have been named captains of this year's squad. Brandt, a junior, was also co-captain of Augsburg's cross country squad last fall. Peterson, who played football, is a senior physical education major.

THE AUGSBURG ECHO Thursday, March 27 "Under Branches” Earns Raves Association Thrills Crowd by Lynn Kuchinaki Every top performing group is preceded by a "warm-up ban ," which is needed to set the mood of the concert and to give a subdued audience a taste of the main event. Before the Association appeared at the 10:00 pm. performance last Saturday night, a Minneapolis rock group called Danny’s Reasons per- formed a set. The present group of Danny’s Reasons is primarily a show group, and no matter what the rhythms and blues number was it would have been a failure without the Madison Avenue Culture Cultists Enshrine Dollar as Virtual God; Exploitation of Catch Phrases Results in Cultural Castration, Lots of Bread by Allen Zirzow White America. in spite of what anybody says, has a distinctive cul- ture that has been an integral force in making the country what it is today It. is not ballet, classical art or music, or Shakespearian thea- ter, for these are alien to the American life style. It is found rather on cereal boxes, ﬂip top cans or in station breaks on the Tonight Show. The high priests of the Ameriv can Culture Cult go about their duties on that great 0 l y m p u 5 known as Madison Avenue. If Time magazine is their Bible, then Play— boy is their Koran. Their “ ments are “buy this" and “buy that." The dollar bill is the chief god, and is revered with hyper- dulia in shrines known as banks. The high-priests tell us what to think and what not to think: what to buy and what not to buy: and all is for the sake of the almighty dollarr WHITE AMERICAN culture is an eclectic one, It takes a little bit from here and borrows a little bit from therFaIways for some kind of monetary proﬁt. White America looks upon those outside of this culture as being cul- turally deprived40r perhaps, cul- turally castrated would be more a propo. An un-All—American culture is ignored by Madison Avenue Only when such culture starts to cause a signiﬁcant ripple on the Ameri- can scene does Madison Avenue take notice: then it goes all the way, eventually killing it. ONE EXAMPLE is the Hippie thing. When Madison Avenue got wind of this, it exploited it to the nth degree. It seems that Madison Avenue thought the hippies advo- rated FLOUR power and went from there to make plenty of BREAD from it. Hippiedom suddenly became the “in” thing. Tourists, along with summer-time hippies, ﬂowed into the Haight-Asbury area from all over the country. Hippie settle— ments sprang up in every signiﬁ- cant city. College campuses, high schools, and even junior highs felt the impact of hippiedom. People get rich off the many books about the phenomenon, and stores did a smash business selling the many artifacts that go with being a ﬂower child. MANY MEN GOT rich. but hip— piedom was eventually killed. An— other example of this cultural cas- tration is the exploitation of catch phrases from the movement for Black Pride. Black Power has turned into Cold Power and Pucker Power. A high school in St Paul even has for its slogan, "Maroon Power." Your Ply- mouth dealer ”tells it like it is,” and a local radio station “tells it like it happened." Rowan and Mar- tin “sock it to ya," along with just about every other program or or» ganization. Soul music is very big right now, but only because it has been watered down for white audi- ences. A man who has a background in White American Culture had better think twice before he labels those outside of his lifestyle “culturally deprived." He might be surprised to ﬁnd out that the music he is lis- tening to, the clothes he is wearing or the words he is saying come “culturally deprived" from such people.

In two such numbers as “Chain of Fools” and “Can't_'I‘urn You Inose," soul seemed almost contagious. DANNY'S REASONS succeeded as the warm—up group, but they were not what was needed to pre- cede the Association Danny’s Rea- sons has a driving rhythm and blues sound, and the Association is simply not that type of a group. When the Association appeared, they had to warm the audience again and almost undo the mood previously established in order to set up their own. That explains why the ﬁrst two numbers, includ- ing “Along Comes Mary," were disappointing There seemed a lack of rich harmony as heard so many times on the Association’s record» ings. With the third number, “Time for Living," instruments in tune and vocal balance achieved. the concert truly began. The audience then relaxed and at last heard what is really the Association. “NEVER MY LOVE," for in» stance, was an easy-listening As- sociation sound. It was a rich, har- monic song, but the blues ending given to it that night was not its own. Such a typical blues chord was more ﬁtting for Danny‘s Rea- sons. Although the sound was pleasing throughout the selection, the change to blues at the end was displeasing. “Cherish,” like some parts of “Along Comes Mary," needed more attention on intonation, and in “Windy” the high voices, a charac» teristic of the Association, were overshadowed by the lower, strong- Honor for C om‘ributions cently chosen as one of the “Out- standing Young Men of America for 1969.” This honor is bestowed upon young men between the ages of 21 and 35 for their contributions to their professions, communities and civic organizations.

However, the Associa- tion’s charm in presentation more than made up for the technical weaknesses. They song as a group which enjoyed what it was doing, and asked only that the audience do the same. The encore was a gift. The har- monic structure of "Under Branch- es" was shown to its full advantage as if the audience had been waiting all evening for the vocal talent to culminate in this one song. ALL FORMER problems van» ished in the encore. The tune was recorded two weeks ago, and util- izing one guitar, an organ, no drums, no bass and seven voices, it showed what Association tale n t. could really do. It took musical courage to perform a number with no other instrumental parts. The encore was an exciting, sharv ing experience between the group and its audience. The Assoeiation was more aware of what it was do» ing, as was the audience. The tune was new even to the Association: it was not yet automatic. The concert was a success, then, and it left everyone feeling good. In the end, perhaps, this is all that anyone needs. Ravel Work to be Done at Northrop by Steve Frantz “Hee-haws," "coacs," and “kek- kek" will abound in Northrop Au- ditorium on Thursday and Friday, March 27 and 28 as part of the Augsburg College Choir concert with the Minnesota Orchestra di- rected by Stanislaw Skrowaczew— ski. The concert will be broadcast on a clear channel by WCCO radio and will begin at 8:30. Tickets will be available at the door for $2.50 and $3.50. The piece that will be performed is “L‘Enfant et Les Sortileges" by Ravel. An impressionist, Ravel wrote the work as a one act chil- dren’s opera in which various ani- mals, an old man and a little boy blend together to tell the story in French. His use of chords to in- duce an overall, sweeping effect rather than for the sole purpose of harmony is most effective in this work.

Only with the gun were the Black masses denied this victory. But they learned from Malcolm that with the gun they can recap- ture their dreams and bring them into reality. THE HEIRS OF Malcolm now stand millions strong on their cor- ner of the triangle, facing the rac- ist dog oppressor and the soulless endorsed spokesmen. The heirs of Malcolm have picked up the gun and, taking ﬁrst things ﬁrst, are moving to expose the endorsed spokesmen for the Black masses to see them for what they are and always have been. The choice oﬁered by the heirs of Malcolm to the endorsed spokes- "H‘n is to repudiate the oppressor and to crawl back to their people and earn a speedy reprieve or face a merciless. speedy and most time» ly execution for treason and being too wrong for too long. Blacks Must Utilize Guns PART 111 Laws and rules have always been made to serve people. Rules of so- ciety are set up by people so that they will be able to function in a harmonious way. In other words, in order to promote the general wel- fare of society, rules and laws are established by men, Rules should serve men, and not men serve rules. Much of the time, the laws and rules which officials attempt to in- ﬂict upon poor people are non- functional in relation to the status of the poor in society. These officials are blind in the fact that people should not respect rules that are not serving them. It is the duty of the poor to write and construct rules and laws that are in their better interests. This is one of the basic human rights of all men. BEFORE 1776. white people were colonized by the English. The English government had certain laws and rules that the colonized Americans viewed as not in their best interests. At that time the English government felt that the colonized Americans had no right to establish laws to promote the general welfare of the people liv- ing here in America. The colonized American felt he had no choice but to raise the gun in defense of the welfare of the colonized people. At this time, he made certain laws insuring his protection from external and internal aggressions from governments and agencies. One such form of protection was the Declaration of Independence, which states: “l . . whenever any government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, lay- in}: its foundation on such princi- ples and organizing its powers in such forms as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." Now these same colonized white people, these ex—slaves, robbers, and thieves, have denied the colon» ized Black man the right to even speak of abolishing this oppressive system which the white colonized American created. They have car- ried their madness to the four cor- ners of the earth, and now there is universal rebellion against their continued rule and power.

TODAY THE BLACK people in America are the only people who can free the world, loosen the yoke of colon- ialism and destroy the war ma- chine. As long as the wheels of the imperialistic war machine are turn- ing there is no country that can de- feat this monster of the West. But Black people can make a malfunc- tion of this machine from within. Black people can destroy the ma- chinery that is enslaving the world. America cannot stand to ﬁght ev» ery Black Blacky in the world and ﬁght a civil war at the same time. It is militarily impossible to do both of these things at once. The slavery of Blacks in this country provides the oil for the ma- chinery of war that America uses to enslave the peoples of the world. Without this oil the machinery can- not function. We are the driving shaft; we are in such a strategic position in this machinery that, once we become dislocated, th e functioning of the remainder of the machinery breaks down. PENNED UP IN the ghettoes of America, surrounded by his fac- tories and all the physical compon- ents of his economic system, we have been made into “the wretched of the earth," who are relegated to the position of spectators while the white racists run their internation- al con game on the suffering peo- ples. We have been brainwashed to be- lieve that we are powerless and that there is nothing we can do for ourselves to bring about a speedy liberation for our people. We have been taught that we must please our oppressors, that we are only ten per cent of the population, and therefore, we must conﬁne our tac- tics to categories calculated not to disturb the sleep of our tormentors. The power structure inﬂicts pain and brutality upon the peoples and then provides controlled outlets for the pain in ways least likely to up- set them or interfere with the proc» ess of exploitation. The people must repudiate the channels estab- lished as tricks and the deceitful snares by the exploiting oppresA sors. WHEN THE OPPRESSOR makes a vicious attack against freedom ﬁghters because of the way that such freedom ﬁghters choose to go about their liberation, then we know we are moving in the right .41 Mr. Zippy Says . . . “HAPPINESS IS WARMTH FROM ZIPP’S” ZIPP’S LIQUORS 2618 E. FRANKLIN 336-8686 direction. The racist dog oppressors have no rights which oppressed Black people are bound to respect. As long as the racist dogs pollute the earth with the evil of their ac- tions, they do not deserve any re- spect at all, and the rules of their game, written in the people’s blood, are beneath contempt. The oppressor must be harassed until his doom. He must have no peace by day or by night. The slaves have always outnumbered the slavemasters. The power of the oppressor rests upon the submis- sion of the people. When Black peo« ple really unite and rise up in all their splendid millionsI they will have the strength to smash injus- tice. We do not understand the power in our numbers. We are millions and millions of Black people scat- tered across the continent and throughout the W e s t e r n hemi- sphere. There are more Black peo- ple in America than the total pop— ulation of many countries that now enjoy full membership in the Unit- ed Nations. They have power and their power is based primarily on the fact that they are organized and united with each other. They are recognized by the powers of the world WE, WITH ALL our numbers, are recognized by no one. In fact, we do not even recognize our own selves. We are unaware of the po- tential power latent in our num- bers. In 1969, in the midst of a hostile racist nation whose hidden racism is rising to the surface at a phenomenal speed, we are still so blind to our critical ﬁght for our very survival that we are continu- ing to function in petty, futile ways. Divided, c o n f u s e d, ﬁghting among ourselves, we are still in the elementary stage of t h r o w i n g rocks, sticks, empty wine bottles and beer cans at racist cops who lie in wait for a chance to murder un- armed Black people. The racist cops have worked out a system for suppressing these spontaneous re- bellions that ﬂare up from the an- ger, frustration, and desperation of the masses of Black people. We can no longer afford the dubious luxury of the terrible casualties wantonly inflicted upon us by the cops dur- in! these spontaneous rebellions. Black people must now move from the grassroots up through the perfumed circles of the Black bour- geoisie to seize by any means nec- essary a proportionate share of the power vested and collected in the structure of America. We must or- ganize and unite to combat by long resistance the brutal force used against us daily. The power struc» ture depends upon the use of force within retaliation This is why they have made it a felony to teach guerilla warfare. This is why they want the people unarmed. TEE RACIST DOG oppremr fears the armed people: they fear most of all Black people armed with weapons and the ideology of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. An unarmed people are slaves or are subject to slavery at any given moment. If a government is not afraid of the people it will arm the people against foreign ag- gression. Black people are held captive in the midst of their oppressors. There is a world of diﬂerence be- tween 30 million unarmed, submis- sive Black people and 30 million Black people armed with freedom and defenes guns and the strategic method of liberation. When a mechanic wants to fix a broken~down car engine, he must have the necessary tools to do the job .When the people move for lib- eration, they must have the basic tool of liberation: the gun. Only with the power of the gun can the Black masses halt the terror and brutality perpetuated against them by the armed racist power struc- ture; and in one sense only by the power of the gun can the whole world be transformed into the earthly paradise dreamed of by the people from time immemorial. ONE SUCCESSFUL practition- er of the art and science of na- tional liberation and self defense, Brother Mao Tse-Tung, put it this way: “We are advocates of the abolition of war, we do not want war; but war can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun." The blood, sweat, tears and suf- fering of Black people are the foun- dations of the wealth and power of the United States of America. We were forced to build America, and if forced to, we will tear it down. The immediate result of this de- struction will be suffering and bloodshed. But the end result will be the perpetual peace for all man- kind. The College Samplers are coming" sc+ VALUE $2.50 Full Six-d lmni COMING SOON AUGSBURG BOOK STORE mum 31 ms!
