This sense of disappointment and anxiety is not peculiar to Augsburg College; it is a national phenomenon. In fact, a few years ago some administrator, perhaps the President himself, read a report to us that indicated a predictable psycho- logical syndrome in people and institutions facing declining expecta- tions and making the necessary adjustments. But if the liberal arts institution has any value at all, it is to create sensitive models of humanistic resilience for coping with traumas that will eventually confront the nation as a whole. The problem of faculty morale is minuscule. but microcosmic, com- pared to what the national morale will be like when the walls close in to conserve energy and the frivolous use of the automobile stops. Also, one might observe that what the faculty are experiencing in their careers has been felt by their students for several years, regarding their career expecta- tions. Student morale has suffered, and the Faculty has not always been sensitive to this problem. Meanwhile, it is important to remember that the people who compose our Faculty did not come into teaching, certainly not into teaching at a private liberal arts college, because they were motivated by status or greed. They came because they had a vision for which they were willing to pay almost any price, excluding their very souls. Although some administrators and others have expressed bewilderment at the Faculty’s seeming obsession with money, I would emphasize that if a Faculty such as this is concerned with money, something indeed is wrong. Either the Faculty are paid far too little, or there are fundamental dissatisfactions with the way the College is conducting itself. I remind everyone that not too long ago this same Faculty voted for frozen salaries during two years of double digit inflation to help boost the College out of the red. Nor am I aware that any Faculty member has ever argued for or expected indiscriminate promotion or extravagant pay raises. What creates bad morale is when deserving people do not get their just rewards long after conventional deadlines have passed and when people feel they have sacrificed their income to a bottomless pit. This is a camel of another color. If this Faculty has a morale problem, it considerably varies from person to person and from day to day. Surely everyone understands that just because some of the Faculty have chosen to confess this problem publicly, it doesn‘t mean that any of the Faculty will capitulate. academic- ally or morally, to hard times. This is correctb n A rather glaring error in content was overlooked in the Nov. 16 issue of the Echo. President Anderson was quoted: “We can afford to have our budget drained by property acquisition." The sentence should have read: "We cannot afford to have our budget drained by property acquisition." Nov. 30, 1979 Continued from page 4 just one of those rare occasions, apropos the waning Seventies, when some of us feel like singing the blues to a larger audience; meanwhile we will continue to pay our dues, because there will be no smooth sailing or soft camel back riding through 1984. This Faculty has and will return to laughter, but don‘t expect us to smile all the time just because Big Brother is watching us as the Eighties run through our lives. Sincerely, John Mitchell English Department Is it purblind dogmatism? To the Editor: . As an enthusiastic student of inflammatory rhetoric and ritualistic jargon for 30 years. I felt right at home reading the letter in the Nov. 16 Echo with thetitle: "Unite and Fight back!" There were all the Pavlovian reflexes which so comfortably serve as a substitute for thinking: “fascist”. “racism”, “bosses of the US", “ruling class", “imperialist” and “incorrect political line." This vocabu- larly is all so “deja vu", and I think we are intelligent enough to recognize its source. l have some news for the author of “Unite and Fight Back": The reaction of Americans against Iranians was no "fascist attack." It was the honest reaction of decent but exasperated people who resent a bullying, bloodthirsty rabble venting its vengeance on innocent and convenient scapegoats. Americans are sick and tired of being pushed around by malcontents whose only language is that of the gun and the club. There is a fanciful quality to ..the letter which prompts me to wonder: ls the author actually observing the American scene or is it all a fantasy engendered by a purblind dogmatism’? I refer to statements which refer to a “fascist movement" here. I think that I can speak for the over- whelming majority of Americans when I say that we Americans do not wish a “correct political line" to be imposed on us by doctrinaire and self-righteous ideologues of any kind. William E. Oyler Asst. Prof. of German Positive feedback vs. Augsburg College To the Editor: It has come to a point in which students, faculty, and administrators question this section in the Echo. Lately it has expressed conflict in regard to student vs. student, student vs. administrator, and finally faculty vs. administrator (a basic necessity for a thriving college paper to attract the interest and attention from its readers). But on the same note isn't it sad that this column merely ignites tension and steam instead of giving positive feedback that individuals so richly deserve? A phenomenon occured recently in Urness and Mortensen Tower and I felt that I would take the time to commend the party involved. One night I came down the Urness elevator, walked into the lobby area and into a small room behind the old switchboard. l was stunned. There before me was the most recent up-to-date positive advancement for the on-campus resident today, the vending room. With my pockets filled with quarters, my stomach aching of hunger, and my mind boggled because of that midnight “cram before exam" I started to feed the machines money. I threw two quarters into one and down dropped munchies. In the next machine came a cheeseburger, then chicken soup, and finally a Mountain Dew, hissing as the ice fell. But I was not quite ready to go back to Law in the United States; the cheeseburger was cold. I took that cheeseburger and tossed it into the microwave without really taking the time to appreciate all this fancy machinery that surrounded me. Then it hit me. Last year living in Urness I remember many a midnight- cram-session going without munchies because there were no fast food vendibles. How could this have happened? Here I am, truly appreci- ating this service, willing to see this vending idea expand yet failing to let those responsible know how I feel regarding this vending area. Well, here you have it. The machines in the Urness vending room are so attractive and reliable, why don't we expand the machines to the game room? lam sure that the positive feedback would be louder then the student‘s kickback on the old machines that are not working properly. Why not keep a positive flame burning and exhaust a corroded torch? Maybe a lesson can be learned by this. If everyone would be willing to commend the good before attacking the bad, positive feedback could lead to better decision making at Augsburg, Long Live leedback, Rod Sill P.S. Thanks Jerry Johnson! A distortion of reality To the Editor: “You can't send soldiers off to kill people they don't hate." In order to kill a person you have to hate that person. To hate another person is to have an anti-that-person attitude or a racist attitude toward that person, Hatred is a feeling which is caused or “manufactured” by certain factors. International Committee against Fla» cism (INCAR) wants to form an “anti-racist, anti-imperialist war movement," but in order to have an anti-anything movement hatred and racism have to be caused first. Therefore INCAR causes hatred and Continued on page 8 ngsburg confessions College. When we don't feel good, we are usually quick and able to say why not. But when we feel good, the reasons are sometimes taken for granted and are seldom enumerated. Writing this on the eve of Thanksgiving, let me confess what some of those things are which have made me feel very good this fall at Augsburg College. . . . A serious and hardworking faculty with genuine con— cern for the welfare of students. . . . A student body with leadership, involvement and concern for the future as well as the present of Augsburg . . . Homecoming festivities with unusual participation by “old grads" as well as present students. . Founders Week and its emphasis on the sciences and the Science of Humanity, with better preparation than heretofore because Homecoming came earlier than usual. . . . The remarkable morale of the football team that hung in there in spite of some disappointments, . . . The success of other fall sports such as soccer and women‘s volleyball, the latter team gaining third place in the Regional Tournament down in the Ozarks. . , . The drama production, “The Crucible," in the old music building (Stage 2) that featured a splendid cast and imaginative hard work to create a temporary theater out of that ancient Tabernacle Baptist Church. . . . Progress on facility improvements to provide more adequate offices for faculty, to link seven buildings, ultimately, without barriers, and to give the Main a new look and new life. . . . An excellent fall concert by the Augsburg Band and the high caliber of all musical performances. . . . Attendance at Chapel worship that has held up well throughout the fall, with excellent presentations. . . . Progress on the Renewal Fund effort which makes the goal of $4.8 million attainable. highlighted by a new challenge within the Board of Regents. . . . A host of positive efforts, activities and encouragements on the part of all segments of our community, too numerous to mention. . . . My own decision to complete my Augsburg chapter next July, thus giving the college an opportunity to choose more quickly its presidential leadership for the 'BOs. May I suggest that you make your own list of what makes you feel good? I hope it outweighs whatever may have contributed to a less positive feeling about the past fall. Of course, we are all entitled to air what is negative in our experience. but I confess to feeling even better after recounting the good things which I think have happened. Oscar A.

Show moreBy CHRIS HALVORSON KATHY KENDRICK Remember the confusion and hassles, the piles of catalogs and bro- chures you went through to decide where you would get your college education? For the physically disabled person intending to find a school with a program helshe is interested in, the hassles and confusion are magnified by having to consider the physical and programmatic barriers present at each college. These types of barriers are readily seen and evaluated. But a more difficult one to define and measure—although possibly the most important type—is the attitudinal bar- riers that disabled students face. According to Wayne Moldenhauer, Director of the Center for Education of Non-Traditional Students (CENTS), “A person with physical disabilities will usually select a college that has a good support base and better attitudes over a college with minimal or no physical barriers." Physically disabled students on campus usually need either a person or a program to assist with their special needs. Classes must be held in places accessible to a wheelchair. The visually impaired student needs someone to assist with reading and note-taking. These types of program- matic and physical barriers may keep many potentially good students from attempting to further their education, and that is where the barrier becomes an attitudinal one. Jerry Bergdahl, Re- source Specialist working for CENTS. defined an attitudinal barrier as “something that stops 3 student from going to school and that keeps them from becoming involved in classroom and social activities like the rest of the student body." Eliminating physical or architectural Director of the Center for Education of Non—traditional Students [CENTS], Wayne Moldenhauer. Access only part of the battle Attitude: a barrier that mandates cannot ‘ | ".ii ' Resource specialist for CENTS, Gary TeGrootenhuis gets a push lrom Doreen Hagen. TeGrootenhuis was disabled from a car accident nine years ago. barriers is the first step toward reaching an attitudinal awareness of the needs of handicapped students, thereby improving the surrounding attitudes. “The removal of architec- tural barriers will increase public information and this in turn will increase the validity of the handi- capped students abilities," according to Moldenhauer. In effect, eliminating the physical or programmatic barriers will lessen the importance of one‘s ability to climb stairs. and allow the person's other abilities to gain recognition. Physical barriers. such as stairs. make access difficult or impossible. College campuses have until June 1980 to remove architectural barriers that inhibit mobility. Programmatic barriers are obstructions that inhibit a student's full participation in any ac- tivity, for example, scheduling a class in an inaccessible building. Since June 3, 1977. post-secondary institutions have been required by law to provide programmatic accessibility; a class in an inaccessible room will be moved it a handicapped student is enrolled in it. These regulations come from section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Roger Simon, assistant director of CENTS. explains that: “An attitudinal barrier is a barrier that can‘t be changed through legal mandate. it is an attitude that we all carry within us toward some group. object or thing, generally based on a lack of exposure, and knowledge of that group. object or thing." Gary TeGrootenhuis, resource spe- cialist for CENTS, agrees that lack of exposure is a contributing factor toward attitudinal barriers facing handicapped students. TeGrootenhuis was disabled in a car accident nine years ago. “Because of how much—or rather how little—l was exposed to the disabled population before I broke my neck in college, my stereotypes were that disabled students were cripples, asexual, and had a disease. Even though they were in college, i thought they weren't going to get very far," TeGrootenhuis said. “How are we to expect people to understand something they never see?" said Jerry Bergdahl. another resource specialist for CENTS. “People look at the disability, not the abilities. People see my wheelchair, not me." The exposure that most people have to the handicapped is seeing them having difficulty with doors. stairs or the cafeteria food line. While those types of things may cause problems for them, their abilities in other areas may go undetected as a consequence. When considering plans for elimi- nating the physical and programmatic barriers on the campus. the planners have to adopt certain attitudes. According to Jeanne-Marie Moore. Director of Disabled Persons Resource Center. University of Denver. “Plan- ners must assume the disabled students will participate in all campus events, and must assume that disabled people don't always want to be in the first row." It is easy to see the effects the physical barriers will have on the disabled students, but it is not so easy to see the consequences of the attitudes he is confronted with. Moldenhauer said, "One possible effect is of a handicapped student remove buying into the attitudes of people he holds in reverence." For example, fear of confronting an instructor or administrator who has a negative attitude will usually have a negative impact on the disabled student's learning process If, while taking a test. the disabled student needs additional help of some sort. helshe must not be intimidated by the instructor or the attitudes of fellow students in order to have his needs met to complete the test. Another problem relating to atti< tudes that some disabled students face is their own need to do even better than physically able students. “One of the biggest pressures i see with the handicapped student is that helshe has to do better than his/her peers. Because of this. handicapped students end up cutting back on their social life. They almost end up putting themselves in a closet,“ according to TeGrooten- huis. By trying to pass by his/her peers, the handicapped student may lose out on valuable friendships and the release of tensions related to the academic world. Even though society has become increasmgly sophisticated in dealing with attitudes. it has often glossed over the freedom to be prejudiced. This is another factor contributing to attitudinal barriers. TeGrootenhuis Former student Augsburg Hanson sculpts With a special tool deSIgned by Associate Professor at Art Norman Holen. Dewey said. “In today's liberal society. an individual feels as though helshe doesn't have the right to be prejudiced. Therefore. we usually don't deal with those rights in a positive way." A way to confront negative attitudes towards the phySicalIy disabled is to have clear priorities in the programs to be conSIdered. according to Patti Hague. director of facilitated programs for CENTS.

Show moreAuggies dominate North/and Tournament for third year By HOWIE SMITH Staff Writer Over this past Thanksgiving week— end, for the third year in a row, the Northland Sponsored MIAC Hockey Tournament was held. Also for the third year in a row, Augsburg was there when it was all over to claim first prize. Playing three games in three nights isn't an easy way to begin a season but the Auggies proved equal to the task. They defeated St. John’s 9-4, Concordia 9-5, and St. Thomas in the final 6-3. Friday night saw the Auggies and the Johnnies square off for the first time since the Johnnies tied the Auggies 4—4 last season for the only mark on their undefeated conference record of 13-0-1. Few people thought this game would be that close. It wasn‘t. Augsburg started Mike Burk- hardt in goal in a move that surprised a few people. When asked why the change from the expected start of Dick Bain, Coach Ed Saugestad replied, "He‘s been looking real good in practice thus far so we decided to test him in a game situation." With Augsburg winning 9—4 one would think that the star or stars of the game were those who were scoring. Besides Burkhardt, the real standouts were the players who killed off the penalties. The Johnnies went on the power play six times, compared to none for the Auggies. Still the Auggies controlled the play and the puck. With one less player, the Auggies outpassed and even outshot the Johnnies. Everyone plays on Coach Saugestad's penalty units; he has no set defensemen and no set forwards Anyone who is fresh goes out to kill it off. On more than one occasion the Auggies held St. John's without a single shot on the goal and they even came up with a Shorthanded goal by Chuck McCan in the second period. With two goals each by McCan and Defenseman Brian Gauger [6] celebrates alter flipping in Augsburg ’5 third goal in the championship game against St. Thomas. Augsburg won 6-3. A ECHO Pholo by Roxanne Rauschnot Erikson, one each by DeClercq, Thayer, Sova. Andrews, and Evans, it would be easy to look here for stars, but the team really deserves the credit. Saturday night saw another interest- ing matchup this time against the Cobbers from Concordia. The players didn't need to be reminded that it was the final game of last year, in the national tournament, that Concordia embarrassed the Auggies and sent them home from the tournament much earlier than they expected. This night. however, the Auggies were ready. Bain started in goal and although he faced only seven shots in the first period, three got by him. The Auggies had trouble getting the puck out of their own zone. After the first period Concordia led 3—2. (Augsburg’s goals were scored by Kevin Gordon and another by Erikson). Between periods Coach Saugestad had some not-so-kind 7th 8: CEDAR WEST BANK Pitcher Nights at Pilot’s Club Miller & Miller Lite Sunday— 8:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. \l\(l Tues. and Thurs. — C9-11 P.M.

Mike Erikson, scoring his fourth goal in two games tied it after the Auggies applied heavv pressure in the Cobber zone. Saugestad said later that he made a slight adjustment in forechecking and that enabled them to hold Concordia in their own zone. But, when the Auggies failed to capitalize on a two-man power play advantage, the Cobbers let them know that they hadn't folded yet. Concordia scored a go ahead goal, on the power play, at 10:15 of the second period but Al Sova came back to tie it on a nice feed from Jeff James at 10:54. Less than a minute later, Terry Brown scored on a beautiful deflection in the slot off a shot from Bob Schwartz. The period ended with the Auggies once again killing off another penalty and leading 5-4 after two periods. The third period started out with the Auggies again forechecking extremely well and pinning the Cobbers deep in their own zone. At 2:22 Brian DeClercq scored the game winner on a rebound in front, and 21 seconds later Kevin Gordon scored his second goal on a nice backhand shot that eluded the Cobber goalie to make it 7—4. Concordia scored once more to make it 7-5, but then Brown scored his second on another deflection in the slot and Gordon finished out the scoring at 13:15 with a nice low slap shot to get his hat trick, Augsburg were down Concordia, as the third period shots on goal would indicate: Augsburg 20, Concordia 4. The Auggies had 53 shots for the game and 108 for the two game total, 'St. Thomas must have noticed Augsburg's potent offense because they were checking and hitting at every opportunity in order to try to slow them down. Bain started again in the nets as the Auggies were set to defend their championship and what followed resembled more closely a poorly fought war than a championship hockey game. There were 18 penalties called (11 against Augsburg) and many of those were questionable (the obvious ones were ignored), Coach Saugestad was so irate after the game that he had trouble standing still in one place long enough for someone to talk to him; two of his players were injured and won’t be able to play again until sometime after Christmas. Jeff Jarnes suffered a separated shoulder and Bob Thayer is out with a thigh injury; both played very well the entire tournament. Chuck McCan opened the scoring with his third goal of the tournament at 8:55 on a loose puck in front. After the Tommies tied it on the power play at 12:01 (Bain was screened by his own defenseman), Paul Hughes got Augsburg's first power play goal of the tournament at 16:50 on a slap shot from the point. The Auggies got their third goal of the night on one of the prettier plays of the tournament. After a Tommies rush up ice, the Auggies broke out with DeClercq feeding Brown at center ice. As Brown crossed the Tommies blue line, one of their defensemen stepped up to meet him. Brown moved to his right and, as the defenseman started to push him off the puck, he heard Brain Gauger yell "Brownie!" Brown, with a defenseman on him and without looking up, whipped a cross-ice pass that hit Gauger in full stride. Gauger flipped it past a very surprised St. Thomas goaltender. That seemed to be all the Tommies needed (or wanted) because the hitting really started to pick up from here. Play went back and forth with neither team in control (nor were the referee‘s) until late in the period when Gordon scored his fourth goal of the tournament to make it a 4-1 game. The Tommies weren't ready to roll over. The Tommies scored on a power play twice, once at 1:12 and again at 8:11 of the third period to close the gap to 4—3. Play became very rough. with helmets and sticks and bodies flying everywhere and pushing and shoving after every stoppage in play. Then, at 12:11, on the power play, it was Terry Brown again making the big play. He took a pass from behind the Tommie net and wheeled out in front to stuff it under the goalie to make it 5-3. McCan widened the gap after picking up a loose rebound at 13:36 and firing it into the back of the net. That made it final: 6—3. Augsburg College Minneapolis. MN 55454 Nov. 30, 1979 Show less

To advance to the final day of play, Augsburg battled their way to a three way tie in Thursday's pool play. The team performance was not up to Augsburg's potential. They dropped their first two matches of the day losing to Central Methodist 8—15 and 9-15, and to Macalester 6-15, 13-15. Friday the Auggies pulled together to defeat Black Hill State and Valley City State. These victories brought pool play to an end. Augsburg was matched against St. Catherine, and fired up in their attempt to avenge their state tournament loss to the Katies. Behind strong center hits by Julie Reinke, who intimidated the Katies, Augsburg advanced to semi-final play by defeating St. Kate‘s by scores of 15-9, 4-15, and 15-5. Coach Timm said, "The St. Kate's match took such an emotional charge that it drained the kids." She cited this as the cause for Augsburg dropping their next match to the Doane of Nebraska team. The Auggies failed to defeat this team due to physical and emotional exhaustion. Augsburg drop» ped the first two games of the match 8—15 and 10-15. The Auggies came charging back to take the next two games but failed to hang on to win the last and deciding game. Doane's 15-7 victory advanced them to the finals and pitted Augsburg in a match with Macalester for third place, Both teams were exhausted after Strong second ha/fs help Augsburg By DAVE LEONIDAS At this writing, Augsburg‘s basket» ball team has a 2-0 record. At Stout on Monday the 19th, the Auggies came through by the score of 59-56 and last Saturday, Luther College took it on the chin. Based on these statistics as well as the quality of play displayed, the team is off to a good start, However, certain points should be noted. Augsburg came out fast in the first half against Stout and far too many turnovers resulted. Credit should be given to the coaching staff for doing their homework, though. The Auggies effectively shutdown the Stout attack by neutralizing their number one gunner.

Augsburg's setter and captain Dana Holmes was recognized by coaches as one of the best setters in the tournament in spite of the leg injury she was playing with.

Luther College provided another kind of test for the Auggies.

Play was ragged with Luther controlling the boards and Augsburg‘s shooting percentage was low. At the half. Luther held a five point lead that should have been greater. Once again, the second half turned out to be a different story. The Auggies blew Luther out of their own fieldhouse through solid defensive play and a superb offense, outscoring the Luther Norsemen almost 2 to 1. Final score: 77—61. Hats off to Greg Boone as leading scorer and Charles Emmons for a solid game against Luther. Third star honors go to the whole team for pulling things together after two poor starts.

Why a new look? Well. the women cagers are young. Very young. You can count only one senior on this squad. with a veritable plethora of freshmen and sophomores. Throw in a junior transfer or two and you can call this team young: and talented. There are only five returnees from last year's team. There is senior center Bobbie Jo Paige, a 6-footer who can dominate the middle. High scoring sophomore Linda Berg is back. bringing fear to opposing players. Sophomore Monica Fitzgerald and junior Stephanie Torgerson, both strong players, are also returning. And. after a couple weeks recuperation from volleyball, Debbie Thompson, a sophomore, will also be back. The new faces on the team don't look like rookies at all. They are led by junior transfer Irene Blilie, formerly of Arizona State and a starter for the Sun Devils. Look for Blilie and freshman Julie Goldstein to provide good shooting and playmaking. Other freshmen standouts include Robin Roisum. Stacy Stephens and Becky Vossen. The team may look young. but they are a talented bunch that has worked well in practice. The trouble may lie in what combination of talent to use in game situations. Making decisions is head coach Val Strachan. To help Strachan this year is assistant coach Cheryl Engel, a Mankato State grad who played last year for the Minnesota Fillies. The student manager is Lisa Ness and the trainer is Kathy Korum. The trouble Will be to allot playing time to this talented bunch. Coach Strachan looks to Paige, Berg and Blilie for a lot of time on the floor. The coach can then spell Paige and Berg with good rebounders like Stephens and Vossen. Also deserving of some varsity playing time are Goldstein, Torgerson, Roisum and Fitzgerald. Complicating matters Will be the return of Deb Thompson, who looked good as a freshman last season The team this year should have some fun, interesting and Winning times at Si Melby. They seem to have all the tools for winning basketball. If that's your type of cage action, fun and fast, come out and cheer your team! They deserve your support.

Show moreeditorials Mora/e and academic quality Faculty morale is an example of complexity; its causes and effects are multifaceted. For the past month the Echo has interviewed numerous faculty members about the recent concern over morale, allowing us to draw a few conclusions about the matter. Respondents generally agreed that morale was low and that its causes ranged from the lack of performance of today‘s student to the no-check-cashing policy; from the absence of academic comradeship to institutional disunity; and from promotion barriers to substandard wages. Two responses receiving the greatest emphasis were the promotion system and the pay scale. Both of these are an integral part of the economics of Augsburg. One can assume that morale is something engendered within a person. In that sense. morale is a person’s intrinsic outlook on life. But it's not that simple. Morale is contingent upon a horde of things. It's the extraneous, extrinsic pressures of society that demand something more than simply an idealistic acceptance of circumstance in light of a clearly substandard economic position. lt's understandable that economics today plays such an integral part in the mental makeup of a person. For example, just how far does a salary of, say, $17,000 go if a car costs $4,000, monthly rent runs $300 and if food for a family of four exceeds $100 weekly? There comes a point when a person has to say, “Raise my pay or promote me so I can just get by, and Hi worry about the morale.“ The recent solution to cut faculty in order to raise salaries drew an understandably negative response, due in part to the lack of communication in the process and the either—or approach used. Moreover, academics were left holding the short end of the stick. In times of crisis it‘s easy to point fingers or find scapegoats for problems (a prime example is pinning society’s faults on a very distant, impervious bureaucracy), but that is no answer. Specific problem areas need to be addressed. Is development running at full potential? Should fund-drive emphasis center on academic strength (i.e. endowment)? But faculty whose primary concern should be teaching, should not be put in the position of finding the answers to Augsburg’s economic shortfalls—that‘s something the administration and the Board of Regents should be doing. . A "strong" administration and a “strong” Board are worth little if Augsburg‘s academic atmosphere and quality are not maintained. If the maintenance of a quality education dictates an increase in salaries, promotions or alternatives that would maintain academic strength, then they should be pursued rigorously and immediately before we fall behind. Continued on page 5 letters It's a camel of a another color To the Editor: There are several ways to talk about faculty morale. One non-academic way is to say that. from time to time. there are a lot of people hurting around an institution. To aconsiderate extent. this Faculty has suffered the shortfalls of the Seventies In silence. The straw that broke the camel's back was the Administration‘s recent report to the Regents that our morale "is good." It seemed that people with good. if busy. intentions were unaware that behind 4 the usual bickerings of acadme there was some serious pain. Now there seem to be so many straws in the wind that there may not be enough camels to back them up. much less to get humping. One supposes that promotion and pay would indeed boost faculty morale. But some faculty hope and hurt in far more complicated ways. Some feel their very careers have been compromised by forces beyond their professional control. not to mention “ANDTHE MORAL OF THE STORY ls. . .” HUM YouK £919 STAFF CARTboN\ST.’ RumouK HA5 lT THAT l’M @693???

And Augsburg, as an educational institution desiring students to achieve their career goals. should help students acquire this skill. Well, if learning by example is as important as psychologists say it is, Augsburg students are in big trouble. Case in point: I was given a note the first week of school asking when I wanted to receive my student government-alloted salary. l designated my first pay date as October 15. Next, I received a M-4 form to fill out with instructions to return it to the Business Office. I completed the form and took it to the Business Office. When asked if I could be helped. I explained to the girl that l was turning in my W-A form, The girl stared at me like I was speaking Yugoslavian. She directed me to a woman at another desk. "Oh. that's not my responsibility. go to Plant Services." “But the note on the W—4 form said Business Office," | protested. Her finger pomted to Plant Services. After mumbling a few unprintables, | stormed out and went down to Plant Services. The woman there told me that Plant Services only took care of students who were paid by the hour, not salaried. She called the Business Office, “Why did he take it down there,“ the same woman I talked to asked. "That‘s okay, I'll bring it down there,“ the woman in Plant Services assured me. "but you won't get paid until November 15." | groaned. "WIII that be a problem?" "Who eats? Who pays rent? Who has a social life? Why do I need money?“ So 30 poverty-stricken days passed. Actually, it was kind of fun sneaking out of the Blood Plasma Donor Center, hoping no one would see me. Or stealing money»back Pepsi bottles from my parents. I really enjoyed staying home Saturday nights and watching “B.J. and the Bear." But the most fun was selling my Barbra Streisand album collection back to the Wax Museum. I waited 25 minutes for the Business Office to open after lunch and another 15 standing in line once it did. Close, closer, oh. so close. Finally, the window. "Sorry. there is no check for you. Why don't you step inside," l was told. Back to the woman who led me astray. “You got paid in October." Wrongo. I told the no—paycheck saga once again. I was cut-off. “You don't have a W-A form on file. That's why they didn‘t run your check." "Oh?" my hands readying themselves for the nearest neck. "We‘ll draw you a check since you didn't get paid in October. We really shouldn't do it but . . . Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. For the amount of money a student pays. you would think he would be treated with a little more respect. How many times has a Business Office or Plant Services employee‘s check been help up because of administrative tumbling? Very few. I dare say, I hope this is a secluded incident. I would hate to think what one of those sweet ladles in the Chinwag would do when they received a letter telling them their contract will not be renewed because they are non-tenured.

Show moreMarvin Trautwein: from Johnny Carson to Walden re visited By GARY KUBAT Features'Editor The desperate student races through the Quad, trying to catch the distinguished-looking, gray-bearded gentleman. “You‘re not my profes- sor," he blurts disappointedly as he takes off again, cancel card in hand. The man could easily be mistaken for a professor, however. Sometimes, there is a suit coat. He carries a brief case instead of a knapsack. A thermos replaces the customary Styrofoam cup. And then, of course, there is the age. But 66-year old Marvin Trautwein is not a professor—at Augsburg anyway ——he is a student, the oldest student on campus. Trautwein‘s first “College days" were spent at the University of Nebraska from 1932 until 1935. Being a student in the depths of the Great Depression posed its problems—the greatest being very few jobs available. Trautwein wanted to go into linguistics, but there were no jobs open in that field. “I couldn’t face graduation without a job," Trautwein stated. So he took matters into his own hands. A junior, he made an analysis of what would be his best bet for a job. Teaching was the answer he found. the best subjects being social studies, Latin, coaching, and music. Trautwein promptly changed his major to history. took an advanced course in Latin. and courses in coaching and music. His efforts paid off. Trautwein was the second graduate to be hired from his class, at the highest salary paid for a new teacher—$100 a month. His subjects were history, Latin, coaching, and music. He had second thoughts. however, and resigned the position the summer before he began to teach, Trautwein worked for a year at J.C. Penney’s before accepting a $90-a— month teaching position in Dannebrog, Nebraska. He taught social studies. Latin, and coached.

Nebraska where he taught high school. It was here he finally added a different subject—psychology—to the famous four. Although Trautwein is nationally and internationally famous for his work in psychology, one of his most interesting claims to fame is that he once taught Johnny Carson while at Norfolk. Carson was a cheerleader, a “Minute Man“ (service organization). and a YMCA sponsor. He was described by Trautwein as “very much the same as he is now.“ A “C” student. Carson was handsome. suave, and well-liked. At the beginning of his career. Carson was a magician, much of his practice performed at school. He always brought a deck of cards to class which Trautwein made him put away. “He came from a nice family and didn't tell "off-color“ jokes like he does now." Trautwein added. In 1942. Trautwein organized and launched the Norfolk Junior College. '\~ Trautwein remained there as Dean until 1948 when he accepted a position as a research assistant and counselor at the University of Minnesota. After two years. Trautwein made his first appearance at Augsburg—this time as a professor. He came right after the Science Hall and Library had been built and helped to plant the trees in the Quadrangle. Trautwein was an assistant-associate professor of psy- chology and education. Director of Placement, freshman counselor. and worked close with G. Mortensen. Martin Quanbeck. and Dean Dahlen. Trautwein also taught remedial reading courses and “how-to-study classes" to the then 877 enrollment. He named one of his star pupils as Ed Saugestad, present hockey coach. During the same period. Trautwein was teaching at the University of Minnesota. In 1958, Trautwein left Augsburg to become one of the first high school counselors and also to teach history and psychology. At Robinsdale High. Trautwein became known for his many innovative ideas. In his psychology class, Trautwein used a plan called "Walden Ill," modeled after B.F, Skinner's Walden II where good behavior was reinforced. Trautwein's classes worked for points given for academic achievement, for completing options, and for modifying their own behavior. that of another human being. or an animal‘s. Students proceeded on pr0jects at their own rate. They took tests when they felt they were ready for them. having to pass at an 80 percent level or retaking them in a different form. The sooner the student took the test, the more pomts that student received. Traut— wein received over 100 requests on his "Walden Ill" from various schools throughout the United States and four foreign countries. Recently retired. Trautwein is currently teaching one course in “Geriatric Psychology" at lnver Hills Community College in Inver Grove Heights. He describes his work as "a serious mission." “It is one of the three most lucrative fields in psychology today.“ Trautwein ex- plained. “Twelve percent of the population is over 65. Twenty percent of the voters are over 65. this age group considered the most consistent. Congress is interested," Trautwein continued. stating that our youth— oriented culture may be gradually moving back to where it used to be when the wisdom of the aged was respected. “Retirement should not be as if you‘re "passing out.’ but something really new and big,“ Trautwein concluded. And Trautwein is following his own advice. At 66, he is attending Augsburg for two important reasons. First. Trautwein is taking a German class from Professor Steinmetz, Attending the International Congress of Psychology, Trautwein Wlii address 30000 people next summer in Liep2ig. Germany. "I can get along well enough with the common people, out I want to be able to speak to the professors," Trautwein said. Trautwein is also taking Dr. Wood's Creative Writing class to help him with the novel he is presently working on. The book Will present a utopian high school. a perfect school where every problem is solved. versus a distopian high school. the traditional nightmare. The work will include such problems as academic achievement. smoking. vandalism. terrorism. race relations. sex. drugs, and alcohol. The emphasis Wlii be placed on the principal and the faculty. He is writing it for school kids. teachers, and administrators and has high hopes for its success. Other post-retirement prejects of Trautwein's include setting up a consultation service (he Will be licensed as a consulting psychologist in February) from 1980 to 1985. workshops on teaching psychology from 1980 to 1982, workshops on preparation for retirement in 1982 until 1983. and possibly running for some political office in about five years. Trautwein said that he is extremely happy to be back. "The faculty has been kind. considerate, and helpful. The students are very friendly, very nice. and I am grateful to them for accepting me in class." Attitude Continued from page 1 or society? How does someone with a handicap overcome limitations? Can people with severe physical disabilities really go on wilderness camping trips, hold professional positions, live alone or plow snow? What is a handicap anyway? The problems of attitudinal barriers are complicated and well integrated into our society's value system. Professionals dealing with disabled students universally agree that the best way‘to meet and overcome these attitudinal barriers is awareness through visibility. The programs of CENTS are both innovative and informative means toward achieving this awareness, Their Conservation of Human Resources (CHFt) classes is one means toward this goal. They also send out a newsletter “Access Awareness" to college administrators and are in the process of compiling information to be put into a “teacher tested" manual for establishing workshops and other awareness projects. Through these outreach programs of CENTS, perhaps society will gain a clearer understanding of what it means to be a physically disabled student. A fear of the unknown or of lack of “normalness” governs attitudes that face these people. Through awareness, perhaps we will come to realize that as TeGrootenhuis stated, “We are not handicapped by our disabilities; it is our sOCiety that handicaps us.“ {Riverside 300mm "THE WEDDING PLACE" Michael A.

No, it wasn't an evangelical revival meeting. It was Senator Edward Kennedy's first Twin Cities appear- ance in his 1980 presidential campaign, held in the Macalester College Field House on Nov. 14. Ironically, Macalester is the alma matre of Vice President Walter Mondale, President Carter's running mate against Kennedy. About 3,500 people attended the rally, and it was estimated that between 3000 and 4000 others were turned away. The vast majority of the crowd were college-age people. Service orientation stressed Library staffers By KRISTEN OLSRUD About 40 Augsburg Library student assistants and librarians attended the fall library orientation Friday, Nov. 16. The evening, planned by the Library Promotion and Student Welfare committees, began with samll-group tours of the departments: circulation, reference, music library, reserves and CLIC, cataloging, acquisitions, L12 (the juvenile and curriculum library), and audio-visual. A student assistant from each department spoke to the tour groups, explaining the purpose and procedures of the department. After dinner which was served by the librarians, Margaret Anderson, library director, spoke about the role of the library staff. She quoted some impressions that fourth graders had written after studying their libraries, from the Wilson Library Bulletin: “Librarians are one of the main products of books. “Ideas about record-keeping in libraries have advanced to the point where they are no longer understand- able. “The way librarians keep track of all the books is only to wonder at, not to understand. “When he is first starting to learn about it, a good librarian might well work around the clock, twelve days a week. “Librarians are very interesting folks. All their ways are helping ways There were as many hecklers as supporters in the crowd. Kennedy was over an hour late, and his campaign staff was booed as they tried to appease the impatient spectators. As one staffer tried to start a chant of “We want Ted! We want Tedl.” some people responded with a chant of “Ted wants us! Ted wants us!" Kennedy began his speech talking about how much he liked “Fritz” Mondale; praising his work as Vice President, However, he spent most of his speech criticizing Carter. He questioned the leadership capabilities of the Carter administra— tion. He said, "I‘m concerned about the confused direction of our country. . . . The sounds we hear from the White House are not sounds of confidence." He sympathized with Mondale for the “impossible” task he has of serving under Carter. The President‘s energy program was the next subject of attack. throw party and glad-to-see-you ways.” Anderson said that every job in the library—whether it is shelving books, typing labels, filing catalog cards, or checking out materials—is important. “The books aren’t enough," she said. “We and the books make up the library." A goal of the Augsburg Library staff, she said, should be to try to live up to the child‘s observation that “all their ways are helping ways and glad—to-see-you ways." Anderson concluded her talk by explaining the purpose of the library party. “We want to give an opportunity for the student assistants to learn about the various depart- ments, to get to know each other, and to have a good time. So let‘s get on with it!" Entertainment began with freshman Eugene Sims of audiovisual singing “Everything Must Change." Then Gayle Pearson and Robin Case, both juniors from the music library, gave a presentation (in costume) based on George Gershwin's popular folk opera, Porgy and Bess. Junior Thu Lam of circulation predicted fortunes with palmreading, and Reference Librarian Marjorie Sibley analyzed handwriting. Jim Olson, director of audio-visual, showed the movies The Music Box, The Mole's Christmas Tree and Christmas in Sweden. All enjoyed the party and look forward to the library picnic in the spring. Kennedy criticized Carter for unfairly asking the American people to make sacrifices to conserve energy. “While we tighten our belts the oil companies grow fat," he said. Kennedy pointed out that “the (Carter) administration has failed to reduce our dependence on OPEC oil." He also made vague references to his support of gasohol and solar energy. Kennedy attacked Carter‘s efforts against inflation. He said, “The President has lost the war to inflation." Referring to the famous sign Carter has on his desk, he said. "The buck not only stops there, it shrinks there." While strong in his criticism of Carter‘s actions, Kennedy for the most part did not have alternatives to offer; he never said how he would do things differently. Many in the crowd were disap- pointed by Kennedy’s speech. There were cries of “Issues! Hey Ted, how about some issues?" In response, Kennedy returned to the podium and agreed to answer a few questions. No one asked about what he would do concerning energy and inflation, One questioner expressed disappointment in Carter's lack of action on minority concerns, and wondered what Ken- nedy would do for minorities if he was elected President. Kennedy did not talk about anything he would do if elected, but merely pointed out that his record in the Senate would show how strongly he supported minorities.

The proposal which would have allowed college and vocational students to ride the bus as cheaply as students in elementary and secondary schools passed out of the Senate, but not the House of Representatives. Paulson feels that the defeated proposal did have a positive outcome, however. “It made the legislature more aware that students are not to be taken lightly. They are not as big a force as the senior citizens, but they still should be listened to," Paulson said. The Psychology major/Communica- tions minor was just one credit short of another minor in Political Science. Paulson's other political experience includes serving on the Longfellow Planning District Citizen's Advisory Council, Minneapolis Housing and Fle- development Senior Citizen's Aide at the Hiawatha Towers in 1975, being a Powderhorn Area Block Captain in the Minneapolis Community Crime Pre- vention Program, being elected to the city-wide Minneapolis Capital Long- Range Improvements Committee (CLIC), Property Services, and Transportation Task Force, and serving as a legislative intern in the Minnesota House of Representatives, Local and Urban Affairs Committee, 1977 session.

Their 385 seat theatre has a semi-thrust stage and will see the first Cricket production on Oct. 26. The other eight tenants are: Minnesota Theater Institute of the Deaf, Allusion Theater, Twin Cities Metropolitan Arts Alliance, Metropoli- tan State University, Minnesota Public Program Corporation, Performance Art Shop, Minnesota Crafts Council, and the Minnesota Chorals. These organizations have their offices in the center, and also use the 160 seat Hennepin Center Theater located on the second floor. The theatre is also rented on a short term basis by a variety of performers and visual artists. The Hennepin Center is also a new approach to the arts because it will eventually become a self-sustaining theatre arts complex. Various retailers, the majority of which are restaurants, will lease the lower level of the center to offset the non-profit area. As of now, rent is subsidized by the state government. The Hennepin Center for the Arts is yet another indication that downtown Minneapolis is and will be undergoing drastic change. It is definitely one of the best things to happen to “the avenue" as of late, a visitor of the Center noted. Peter Knapp, the center's assistant project manager, also in charge of operations, stated that he thought the opening celebration was a “howling success,“ and also was an indication of how vital a role the center will play in the future of downtown Minneapolis. Its location and programs offer convenience and variety for those in the community interested in the arts, explained Knapp. Nov. 2, 1979 this time because he felt that he had to. If Paulson is victorious, he won't quit his present job at Jay Kline Chevrolet because the Park Board Commission position only pays $100 a month, a small amount compared to the “couple thousand" that Paulson is investing in his campaign. Paulson feels that it will be a close contest, but is surethat he “will come out on top." “I can't think of anything I’d like to spend so much time on," Paulson added. Paulson concluded with some advice for future Augsburg candidates: “Save up some money, it goes like paper. Try to get a few politically active friends involved and then pull out all the stops and run up a big debt.” Couture from page 6 of the people interviewed named Bob Benedict, who was mayor three years ago. Al Hofstede was named by 17 percent of the people as the present mayor of Bloomington. It might be an asset for Couture that only two percent interviewed knew who the mayor was. One obstacle Couture faces is his age, but Bloomingtonites have already shown their tolerance for youth when they elected Bob Benedict as mayor at the age of 23. Couture worked with Benedict in an internship program at Augsburg. Couture‘s awareness of issues and confidence have silenced many people‘s fears about his age. Couture feels confident about winning. “If we have over 20 percent of the people voting, I‘m sure I’ll win. If it‘s under 20 percent, it's going to be close," he said.

After Augsburg kicked off, Tom Ross intercepted a Royal pass to wrap up the 20-17 victory. Bethel led the Auggies most of the game. They scored first on a drive prolonged by a “roughing the kicker" penalty called against Augsburg. The touchdown came on a pass from quarterback Jim Anderstrom to Kim Cooper from 14 yards out.

Augsburg's Steve Flosvold received Soccer:seventh straight shutout By TEDD PETERSON Assorlate Editor Augsburg‘s soccer team defeated second place St. Thomas 1-0 last Saturday in spite of the Tommies‘ home-field advantage. Goalie Mark Anderson and the Auggie defense have not been scored on in their last seven games. One of the players said of Anderson, “He's been so consistent it‘s uncanny.“ St. Thomas, known for their "imported" players, played a very rough game, but their offense. and espeCIally offensive star Estabane Pedrosa, was effectively frustrated by Augsburg's defense. Augsburg‘s score came on an indirect kick from about 30 meters out. Kevin Oss kicked the ball to Captain Jerry Jackson before the Tommies had set up their defense. This was a strategy they had worked on in practice. Jackson got the ball about 15 meters out and punched home the winning score. Earlier that week Augsburg beat Carleton 2-0 in a non-conference game on goals by Chris Ascher and Dave Fressler. Augsburg is now two games behind conference leader St. John's and half a game behind St. Thomas. A tie or win against Gustavus in the last regular season game on Wednesday would guarantee Augsburg a home-field advantage in the first round of playoffs tomorrow.

Volleyball team defeats St. Catherine By LAURIE JESSEN Sports Editor Augsburg fell behind quickly against St. Catherine on Tuesday, Oct. 23 due to lack of coverage and inaccurate bumps, but managed to over-power St. Kate's and win the match 3-2. St Kate's set good blocks and placed their hits well in'the first game. The Auggies found themselves facing an 8-3 margin. Some of the Augsburg concentration seemed to reappear as their defensive net play improved. Team play was missing as was the spirit and talent of Peg Meisner who was out with an injured ankle. Augsburg was unable to overcome these factors and dropped the game 15-7. The Auggies coverage and back- court play stiffened for the second game. allowing them to jump to an 8-1 lead. Augsburg served consistently and St. Kate‘s had trouble handling the serves with their forearm passing. Augsburg began utilizing various shots with downs and dinks dropping into holes on the opposite side of the net. This forced St, Catherine to take time out with Augsburg on top 12-2. Kathy Korum kept the Auggies on the track by using a variety of hits that consistently found holes in the Katies defense, The entire team moved well to give Augsburg the second game 15-13. The presence of communication problems was evident as balls dropped between Augsburg players on several plays in the third game. Captain Dana Holmes kept the team together, setting to veterans Kathy Korum and Lisa Ness whose hard, clean hitting f—_. N Put It ALL TOGETHER. . . . . . in an Athletic Bag from your personal Store.

Powerful center hits by Julie Reinke weren't enough to sustain the lead however as St. Kate's came hustling back to a 6-5 score. The momentum switched to their side of the net despite a hustling Augsburg squad, The Katies played solid offense which put Augsburg on the defensive. Their first bumps were inconsistent and they fell behind 14-10. The Auggies made a run at a final comeback but fell short, losing 15-12. Neither team appeared to have much fire in the fifth game. Play was sloppy by both teams. Julie Reinke brought Augsburg back into the game on strong center hits which St. Kate‘s was unable to defense. Lisa Ness played well and aided the Auggies in going ahead on scrappy team play. They hung on to win the game 15—9 and the match 3-2.

Show morePresident Anderson judges past, present and future Dr, Oscar Anderson is busy tying-up his loose—ends here at Augsburg to allow for a smooth changing-of—the- guard. Respected as both a scholar and a minister, Anderson related with a chuckle, "I always said I was a minister by trade and a college president by accident. "Alumnus John D. Sorenson noted, on Anderson's arrival at Augsburg in 1963, that Anderson saw the college as a mission, a place where faith and knowledge come together. Anderson commented on the past, present and future of Augsburg to “Echo” writers Hugh Pruittand Fioa/d Sateren. Their report follows: Echo: You stated that one of the major reasons for your retiring early was to enable Augsburg to seek new leadership in the '805 to address the concerns that will confront the college then. Can you speculate about what those concerns might be? Anderson: They are somewhat obvious and somewhat not so obvious. I think the most obvious one is how do you deal in a period of limited growth or shrinking resources, whether they are students or dollars, These are the elements of the crunch. You‘re going to have to begin to plan the size of faculty and staff to handle what you can afford because of the shrinking value of the dollar on the one hand and a possible reduction of student body on the other. It's foolish for an institution to think that it can win the zero-sum game. In other words, that you will grow even though everyone else is going down, or that you will grow at somebody else's expense. That's just very naive thinking. Echo: It's very apparent, just as the administration has projected, that enrollment will be going down. there will be lesser dollars and we can expect cut-backs. That leads to the concern over faculty morale and the expectation that right around the corner some people will “get the ax." Although realistic, is the way the administration presents futuristic trends healthy. and are there alternative ways of presenting them? Anderson: What are the alternatives? I want somebody to tell me what the alternatives are. Now. you know you will have some people who will spin—off all kinds of ideas like: “Go out and raise more money." Where? The contributed dollar is going to go down too and the competition is going to get stiffer. Or then there's this very, very foolish suggestion that you stop your capital construction and usethe money for faculty salaries, That is as naive as I could think because the money was raised for that purpose and every dollar that we have gotten from any cooperation or foundation around here has got to be used for capital purposes or we break the agreement that we have with all the colleges in Minnesota that we will not use the dollars raised for programming purposes. Ehco: Is that where funds get the lable restricted or unrestricted? Anderson: Sure—absolutely. Echo: But is that a decision that is—on funds that come in. say. apart from cooperations, when you‘re out fund raising and you say it's the Renewal Fund, when that money comes in then is it— Anderson: It's restricted. Echo: It's automatically restricted? Anderson: Absolutely. Echo: Because you decided it is? Anderson: No! Because that‘s the way you ask for it. If I ask you for a $1000 for Renewal Fund I didn't ask for $1,000 for faculty salaries. And if I used your $1,000 for faculty salaries instead of brick and morter I'm breaking faith with the donor. Echo: Relating back to the first question when we talked about expanding into different populations and getting away from the “traditional student." is that going to be an emphasis you would like to see? .2 Anderson: it will have to be! I‘m convinced that the new market approach is important and necessary. But I‘m not going to be so foolish as to say that it's going to bail us out because I think that everybody is saying that, and if everybody says it then you're right back where you were before. As in the same kind of competition for a static market or static population. —ECHO Photo by Hugh Pruitt Echo: in recent years Augsburg has experienced the burden of double-digit inflation. This surfaces in sky—rocket- ing energy costs. food costs and cost of Iivmg adjustments, It seems apparent that this trend will continue in the Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota future. Can Augsburg deal effectively with these problems and what can be done about them? Anderson: I would begin by saying they can be dealt with. This is not the first time this or other institutions have been in acrisis. That's not new. We're not hitting a first time situation. Now what the answers are going to be is the very thing I'm referring to in terms of somebody getting on board and saying these are the things that need to be done . . . . If there are steps. and there are a number of them, that have to be taken —new markets. examining tuition, fund raising. government assistance in terms of Scholarships and grants. All of these things are going to have to be part of a sophisticated action plan for the '80s Now, i think I know enough about it to know what's to be done. but l‘m not going to be here to carry it out. Echo: Will there be a lapse then. it's evidently not a long one—you've moved your retirement up a year? Anderson: For that reason—to get humping... . Now you mentioned the matter. i just want to take off on that. It's about this faculty morale business, I recognize there's such a thing as faculty morale. but I wish somebody around here would recognize there's such a thing as administrative morale and regent morale. That's what the regent chairman said when the faculty members started talking at the board meeting about faculty morale. He said. “Remember there‘s such a thing as regent morale." You let that (regent morale) go down the tube and you begin to lose some of the most important supporters of the institution. (Pounding hand on the table.) Morale. it seems to me, is not something other people need to be responsible for. I'm responsible for my own morale. If I meet a tough spot and I get low I can't go around to somebody else and say. “Raise my morale.“ l have got to do that myself—it's the way I'm Willing to deal with a tough situation. Echo: Then is the suggestion to look at morale through the processes of the institution circumventing what is really going on? Anderson: . . . it's very simple What morale is; it's the result of circumstances that produce something pOSitive for you; and those things may be salary, they may be working conditions. they may be colleagues, they may be a sense of purpose and missmn in the institution. all kinds of things affect morale. Nobody would raise the issue if I promoted everybody and paid them well. (Slapping hand on table.) Promote and pay. promote and pay and you'll get morale like nobody's business. Echo: But that's not posSIble’? Anderson: Right! And so you're up against that Situation where you have to deal realistically With it and say these are the things we can do and there are the things we can not do. But i have to admit I'm a little perturbed by people who talk about morale being no good and then they rub that off on the students. I think it‘s unconscion- able. Echo: So in a way they're making it a self-fulfilling prophecy? Anderson: Sure! Well. it's not only that. but it's self pity and then they only exacerbate it by letting that drip off on other people and that aCld eats on the very folks we depend on around here. namely students. And if that affects retention. that affects enroll- ment. and enrollmen affects salaries and salaries affect morale. (chuckles) iECHO Photo by Hugh PIL'ii/ Echo: Then is there a pos'SIbility of either antagonistic communication or a lack of communication between the faculty and administration? Anderson: 1 don't know. We're not in an adversary Situation as far as l can see l think a lot of it IS a lack of understanding which can be a lack of communication but sometimes the information has to be gotten through an experience of dealing With the issues | Will say that in a very complementary way—that all faculty who have dealt With us in our tough budgeting process come out With a posnive attitude. They know What the problems are and they say. "Well. okay. nobody's trying to pull the wool over our eyes. nobody's getting rich on this . an honest attempt to match resources With expenditures is going on Echo: There's no hidden cog anywhere that you can pull out to make everything come down? Anderson: That's right. that‘s right— or somebody's got something stashed away—that's one of the lavorite myths on campus—that the preSidents got Continued on pageZ Vol. 86, Nov. 10 Nov. 16, 1979 Show less

April 15. losing both games of a double-header to St. Olaf by identical scores of 4-0. In the first game Chris Geason was pitching well, He struck out 10, walked two, and gave up two of four earned runs. but it was not enough as the Oles overwhelmed the Auggies at the plate. Auggies threatened in the second inning. Dan Johnson and Terry Kirlin both singled. but were left stranded on base with three straight outs. The Ole's did their work in the fifth and sixth innings scoring a run in each. As happened all day, it was the error that really hurt. Ole's added two more runs to their 2-0 lead, St. Olaf out hit Augsburg 7 to 4 in this first game. It was Augsburg's lack of hitting and inability to advance those that did get hits that cost them the game. In the second game, the Auggies seemed to fall apart even further. In the third inning the Ole first baseman singled. The next batter got on base by a wide throw to first by Dan Johnson. Torgerson stepped up to the plate and tripled both batters home. To make things worse the next batter hit right through Bill Ruckles legs at short stop and scored Torgerson. With the bases loaded there were two questionable calls that led to Tim Christianson being thrown out of the game, Auggie Jim Peterson was put in to pitch the remainder of the game. In this game Auggies out hit the Oles 6-2. Randy Griffith went 1-2, Jim Peterson (as designated hitter) 2-5, and Paul Nies 2-6. Saturday, April 22, there is a schedule change.

Show moreMugge to lead semester-long course in Mexico By KATHY YAKAI. Features Editor Joel Mugge has been taking a communications class to Mexico for the last four interims. Finally. he gets to stay for a whole semester. Mugge. a communications instructor and counsellor at Augsburg. has developed a one—semester "Program In Global Community" that will be implemented for the first time in spring. 1979. Positive student reaction to his interim program started Joel thinking about the possibility of expansion. “People have told me that the interim program is superb. but too short," he states. Although Augsburg offers numerous opportunities for foreign study. they are coordinated through other schools. This is the first Augsburg-sponsored foreign program. "This is really kind of an exciting first for us—lots of other colleges and universities already have such programs." Regarding foreign study. Mugge went on to say that. " . . . too often, it becomes an exclusive thing for people who can afford it." The Mexican program is an exception: the fee will be equivalent to one semester at Augsburg ($2.045). Students will not be able to make any money during that time. but loans and scholarships will apply. As stated in the publicity letter. the primary objective of the foreign study term is "to provide you with an opportunity to begin to develop an awareness and understanding of the issues involved in the struggle to build a world community." Mugge stresses the community aspect of the program. as the group will be living in a large house together for the The view here certainly tops four months in Suerdrup Library. —SIaIl photo by Jim Purdham term and sharing the daily struggles and joys involved in community living. As Mugge says, “It's important for us to learn to live as a few people together if we‘re ever going to live together as a whole world. We can't separate the global community from you and me." Participants will also have the opportunity to experience another kind of living. Each person will spend 2-3 weeks living with a Mexican family to understand Mexican culture on a more personal level. But the program will focus on more than just lifestyles. The academic component. which allows the student to get four units of credit in a 4-1—4 system. will consist of four courses. The first. an intensive Spanish course. will be taught daily for the first four weeks of the term. Although this individualized instruction will be geared to the level of each student. a prerequisite for being accepted is one Spanish course or its equivalent. Mini—courses will make up the second course, a cultural studies seminar. The seminar. which counts as a lower division General Studies credit, will deal with such topics as “The Role of the Mulit‘national Corporation." and “The Church and Social Change in Latin America." Mugge will teach the third course. called "Communication in Global Perspective." Attention will be given to interpersonal and small group dynamics as well as issues in inter-cultural communication and global justice. Upper-division credit will be given in the area of Speech/Communications for this course.

SPAN enters 32nd year of international learning By KATHY YAKAL Features Editor Watching a National Geographic special on television is one way to learn about people in other countries. Participating in the SPAN program is a bit more expensive and time-con- suming, but a lot more realistically enriching. SPAN {Student Project for Amity among Nations) was started in 1946 by a group of University of Minnesota students. Dedicated to helping Ameri- cans learn about and interact with people of other cultures, SPAN provides financial and organizational support to facilitate that goal. A summer independent study done in a foreign country makes up the academic component of the program. In choosing a topic for that study, students are asked to identify something that they wouldn't be able to do without visiting the country. More than library research is required. In devloping their independent study topics. students receive help from SPAN group advisers. During the school year preceding the program. students meet with their advisors several times. Four countries are chosen for SPAN each year. Countries chosen for the summer of 1979 are Haiti, South India. 8 Sweden, and Tanzania. ’l‘wo Augsburg professors have been chosen as advisors for 1979. Dr. R. John Singh. formerly a citizen of Guyana. South America. and currently an instructor in religion at Augsburg. will be advising the Haiti group. Don Gustafson, associate professor of history at Augsburg, and his wife, Bev. will work with the group going to South India. The Gustafsons are familiar with the area and the program, as they have done doctoral research in India and previously accompanied a SPAN group to south Asia. Jane Bjomdal. a senior sociology/ psychology major at Augsburg. went on the SPAN trip to Greece last summer. She recalls of her experience that “ . . . the Greek people and my experiences with them made a profound impression on me. By living and speaking with many Greeks I gained a much richer appreciation of their culture." Jane explains the necessity of applying early for the program. “The preparation year gave me an under- standing of the Greek culture and a sensitivity to the Greek people which the average tourist or student does not have prior to their time in Greece." So with the preparation year, the summer abroad, and the few months allowed to complete a final draft of the projecct. the program involves a two-year comrnittment. According to its publicity brochure. SPAN is the lowest cost study abroad program around. Tuition and a $25 deposit are paid to the University of Minnesota. Students are allowed to make their own living arrangements in order to keep costs down. Additional allowances are made in the form of scholarships and loans based on individual need. Participants can earn 12-27 credits from the University of Minnesota. including orientation seminars (6 credits). language study (up to 15 credits), and completed project (6 credits). These credits are transferrable toAugsburg. The late Senator Hubert Humphrey was an avid supporter of the SPAN program. He praised the opportunity to “ . . . make college studenm aware of the world beyond their hometowns. colleges. and national boundaries." Coming from a small town himself. Humphrey said he “appreciated fully the revolutionizing impact that this kind of responsible study and travel abroad could have on the lives of college students." More information about SPAN is available through Mary Kingsley or by calling Jane Bjomdal (ext. 278). program applicable to any major discipline. Students will be asked to develop an independent study in consultation with a departmental advisor on campus. "l'm kind of excited about the possibilities here." says Joel. “Someone in biology could do a study in agriculture or medical health systems, for instance." So the program isn't limited to one academic major—credit could be given for the independent study in almost any area. In addition to the credit courses. other activities are planned. Visits to community resources and agencies. volunteer field experience in individual areas of interest, and attendance at cultural events in Cuernavaca. where the group will be living. and in Mexico City will be possible. And. of course. students will want to do exploring on their own. Mugge is trying to plan a four-day class week for part of the time so students will be better able to do that. Mugge has set a maximum of 20 students for the program—10 from Augsburg and 10 from other colleges. "l'm a bit concerned about the first year." he admits. “My idea is that this should become an ongoing program. so a successful first year is really important." Anyone interested in more information and an application should contact Joel Magge in CS D. OOOOOOCOOII....‘OOCOOIOOC... C.S.D. budget out In the March 31 issue. the Edie reported on services offered by the Center for Student Development. The article cited the flexibility and quality of services offered there and, in one paragraph. hinted at "budget limita- tions." Recently this budget was cut. In 1966~67. student services con- stituted 9.3% of the total unrestricted Educational and General Budget. At that time. student services included the registrar, admissions. student financial services. campus pastor. dean of students. guidance and counselling. career planning and placement, minority coordinator. and health service. The term "Center for Student Development" was not used until 1970. But in that 1966-67 budget. the services which have since been synthesized into CSD—dean of students. guidance and counselling. career planning and placement. minority coordinator and health service—received 4.7% of the budget. No change occurred in the total student services budget in the following ten-year period. Nine and three tenths percent was still allotted to them in 1976-77. But CSD received a cut of 1.9%, leaving them with 2.8%. compared to the earlier percentage of 4.7. The remaining 1.9% was shifted into other areas of student services. like admis- sions and financial services. Marianne Sander bad no explanation for the drastic cut. "It‘s just due to the reallottment of funds." she stated. Has this reduction had an effect on CSD's functioning? It would be foolish to say that there's been no effect. Because of better planning and organization. we've been able to continue to offer our services.” said Sander. April 21. 1978 Show less

Grit has moved around quite a bit. She was born in Sioux Falls. South Dakota. graduated from high school in Granite Falls. and now goes home to Montivideo. Grit attended St. Olaf College in 1973-74. but. as she says. she spent more weekends visiting friends at Augsburg than in Northfield. Transferring to Augsburg the next fall only meant that she spent her weekdays here, too. "I‘m not really sure why I transferred." Grit admits. “My interests were changing. I became more interested in the kind of experiential learning that Augsburg offered. and wanted to concentrate more on the social sciences." After establishing herself at Augsburg. Grit took off for a year to travel and work. Part of her travel itinerary that year took her to Nairobi. Kenya, where she was one of the ALC's eight delegates to the World Council of Churches. Grit's involvement with the American Lutheran Church has also included a three-year stint on the National Board of Luther League. In addition. she was chosen as chairwoman of the steering committee for the 1976 All Lutheran Youth Gathering in New Orleans. Also during her year off from school. Grit visited Oslo. Norway. where she visited friends participating in the Scandinavian Urban Studies Term (SUSTD. The visit sparked an interest in studying the urban environment in Scandinavia. “Scandinavian countries have a good history of planning—I've heard them referred to often in classes." Grit will be returning to Oslo this fall to participate in the SUST program. Her involvement there will complete her urban studies degree at Augsburg and give her the off-campus experience that her major requires. Grit‘s interest in urban environments led her to secure an internship with the dispositional advisor's program in the public defender‘s office this semester. Grit serves as an advocate for criminal offenders. working out alternative placements for them. In her free time. Grit enjoys biking. "reading that I don't have to do." playing racquetball, and anything else that involves “good times with good people." Beyond next January, Grit isn't sure what she'll be doing. "My plans are pretty indefinite." she states. “I'd like to incorporate my interests in urban studies and theology into some kind of job or possibly more schooling."

Shouldn't 3 courses cost less than 4. and 4 less than 5? Answer: The Office of Student Financial Services was happy to answer this question for us. The definition of a full-time student is one who takes 3 or more classes. thus they must pay the full-time tuition costs. Question: What happened to the 550.000 given to Augsburg by General Mills to build ramps for the handicapped students? The money was received by Augsburg some time ago. Answer: According to the director of planning. the money given by General Mills was not given to build ramps, but was to be used for the “removal of architectural barriers." Secondly. the 350.000 is a pledge and only $25,000 has been received. Of that money. a part of it has been used to pay an architect's fee. Question: How did the I‘Chin Wag" get its name? Answer: in 1955. the old Mortensm Tower (which was located where the Fairview-St. Mary‘s parking ramp is now) opened a coffee house. The inhabitants name'i it the “Chin Wag." They got the name from the old phrase wagging the chin." which was a slang expression for talking. The name was carried over when the college center was built.

Show moreSenate chooses commissioners, forms petition to name Music Building By SUE BONNER News Editor Approving Presidential appointments of commissioners was the main task of the Student Senate at its meeting on April 12. as well as starting a petition for naming the new Music Building after Leland Sateren. Linda Roop was approved as Secretary, and Gail Wagner was approved as Treasurer. The Secretary and Treasurer. along with the Vice- President and President, make up the Executive branch of student government. Senate approved Caea Smith as Program Commission’s Director of Student Programming. In Senate's questioning of Smith about the job. she said that she strongly believes in stressing education, seminars. and big events such as the Spring Affair and the Pig Roast. Senior Class Representative At-Large Eric Anderson asked Smith if she would use her position for “setting dates or planning events." Smith replies, "I believe that if you are going to lead something. you should be involved in it. " She also emphasized the importance as Director of Student Programming of being a “flexible leader." Other commissioners for Program Commission approved by Senate were Social Programming Director Terry Rindal and Educational Programmer Brad Elliot, In discussion of the job of the Social Program Commissioner, Rindal told Senate that he would like to see better use of the facilities which Augsburg has: he emphasized the idea of getting a major concert at Augsburg. using Si Melby. although the acoustics are not the best. Rindal would like to have more movies on campus by using resources of area libraries. He also mentioned the idea of having a weekly coffeehouse by inviting artists from the West Bank area which is “highly cultured.” Rindal was questioned as to whether or not he had any ideas for getting more students involved in activities he schedules. He said that good publicity is extremely important in promoting student interest and pointed out that "you have to be enthusiastic about something yourself before someone else will be." The Educational Program Commission position was filled by Brad Elliott Eliott stressed his interest in working with other colleges to keep down the costs of bringing main speakers to the colleges. He also cited the possibility of utilizing Augsburg personnel for educational programs by having panel discussions with facuclty and staff members. Elliot added that films and debates are good educational programs to continue. Following the extended Program Commission discussion, the Senate approved Larry Couture, currently the Business Manager of the Echo, as next year's Echo Editor. Couture told Senate that he hopes to have more cover stories instead of cover pictures. He stated that a steady weakness of the Echo is lack of Furor swells overstudent paychecks By DAVID RAETHER Editor In a completely unannounced move. on Friday. Apr. 15, the Business Office held back student wages from those who owed the College money. Friday was payday for student employees, and those who went to collect their checks and owed either the College or the Bookstore money found that the Business Office refused to give them their checks until all bills were paid. For some students this action meant that they received no paycheck for the month of April because many owed more than the amount they earned in March. Since student employees are paid once a month on the 15th. this action was a particular hardship. “It's a slap in the face of student workers. " said Student Society President Kevin Bonderud. Former Student Society President Eric Spore offered two criticisms of the action by the Business Office. “They did not notify anyone about what they were going to do." said Spore. “It discriminates against the people that work on campus—they work for subminimum wages as it is." he added. Kevin Bonderud and Lynn Schmidtke. Student Society Vice-President. met with Wayne Pederson. Acting Vice President for Finance and Management. on Friday to discuss the situation. Pederson. according to Bonderud. was unaware of the situation. "We told him that they should immediately give all checks out and apologize." said Bonderud. “No advance notice was given and we told him this was very unfair." April 21,1978 The man caught in the middle of the whole confusion was Ron Scherman. Chief Accountant in the Business Office. “In past years," said Scherman. “if there were cases where the student received an aid package including work and had a balance . . . the check would be collected back." Scherman said he was sorry that the situation arose without any advance warning. “I do feel that there should have been greater communication and discussion.” he said. Scherman. however. noted that the College ends the school year with a large unpaid bill from students. Last year the bill was estimated at $102,000 in accounts receivable from both current and non-current students on May 31. 1977. Scherman underlined that fact that in many cases employment is part of a financial aid package. He also said that. hopefully. in the future there will be greater warning to the students. “All the same when you get to May 15. there is a definite policy that the accounts of the student he paid before they leave." said Scherman. Bonderud said that the unpaid bill from students is a real concern for the Business Office. “They are very lenient over there,“ said Bonderud, “but they aren't getting the money." Bonderud added that he told Pederson that, for students.

May 5 is also Celebration of Excellence Day. and the day of the Pig Roast and street dance. Anyone wishing to help with the carnival should contact John Burkhardt. The Senate decided to set up a committee to circulate a petition to determine student support of naming the new Music Building the "Leland B. Sateren Hall of Music." Kevin Bonderud. Student Body President. said that naming the building after Dr. Sateren seems appropriate because of all that he has done for music at Augsburg. in the community, and internationally as well. Whereas, Leland B. Sateren has contributed greatly to Augsburg College. as a student. Professor of Music (receiving the Distinguished Faculty Award in 1973-1974).

Lundeen's frantic campaigning in the final days was credited by most political observers as the decisive factor in the election. Led by the dedicated staff work of Arlene Shorts, Lynn Schmidtke and others too numerous to mention. Lundeen won the election with a five vote margin. Lundeen's campagin manager. and next year's Echo editor, Larry Couture also expressed jubilation over the victory. “We really worked for this one." said Couture. “We felt that we needed at least one close-minded student on Senate to keep the Echo editor from being fired next year." Couture also went on to credit the fact that no one else ran as helping Lundeen's victory. “When you have only one candidate in an election you've got to figure that things will be a little easier." Lundeen‘s vote total of six outstripped his nearest competitor's vote total of one.

Show moreOne Potato Two is a spud above By KATHY YAKAL Staff Chawhound Fl r y». [IS the lowly potato has kept its place next to the mighty steak. The humble spuds had potential. but were usually forced to play second fiddle to a hunk of meat. Finally, someone has given them a break. One Potato Two. located at 1410 W. Lake Street. features baked potatoes as its main entree. Heated in microwave ovens and filled with your choice of cheeses, chili. chicken, ham. shrimp, sauerkraut. or coleslaw, the potatoes cost from 89 cents to the top-priced crabmeat special at $1.99. This eatery. located in the exciting uptown area, isn't the first place that has allowed spuc's to go solo. Bill Eigen. owner of One Potato Two. reveals that he saw it in Sco' and. Unusual business endeavors are nothing new for Eigen and his Partner. The pair operated a stand at the first Minnesota Renaissance Fair a few years ago. The stand offered two sensuous delights to its customers: cantalope/yogurt sundaes and foot massages. “The nice thing about working here is the people I get to meet." says Bill. His efforts to make the restauth enjoyable for those people is obvious. Freshly-cut yellow mums adorn each table. The customer’s first name—not an order number—is called when the order is ready. "We try to play all kinds of music in here, too.” adds Bill. Limiting the menu to one main dish hasn't seemed to hurt their business. “We've been operating for about two and one—half months now, and we're doing OK. We do a lot of repeat business—people come in and like what they see. so they come back,“ Eigen states. Besides the main dish, the a la carte menu includes soups. salads. fruit juices and other drinks, and desserts. “We make all of our own desserts." claims Eigen. “They’re all made from organic ingredients like whole wheat flour and honey." Potato propaganda covers the walls. Portraits of shapely spuds making statements like "I am not fattening" and pamphlets containing the nutritive value make the consumer aware that she is not eating the average fast junk food fare. One Potato Two is open from 11-11 Monday through Thursday, 11-2 Friday and Saturday. and from 12-10 on Sunday. Choir sings for Canadian festiviles By KATHARINE E. SKIBBE Arts Editor The choir has sung for a number of different organizations on various occasions this year, but not too many other performances excited me or left such an imprint on me than when we sang in the Crystal Court of the IDS for a special banquet honoring the friendship between Canada and the United States. We boarded the Medicine Lake bus as we often have done for other concerts. Each of us had our very own worn and somewhat smelly royal blue choir robe over one arm, books for that anticipated moment of study in the other arm. and ballet slippers or black shoes somehow juggled between the two. Approximately five and a half hours later we got off that same bus, tired. but excited by the evening events. What happened in between proved to be another interest- ing addition to the many chapters of Augsburg Choir performances. To set a few minds at rest, we did not subject the poor Canadians to five and a half hours of Scandinavian folk tunes and double choir music. We arrived at the IDS building about 7:15. At 8:00 p.m. we quickly marched on and off the risers pausing only to sing the Canadian anthem "O Canada" and our own “Star Spangled Banner." Then. as the American and Canadian guests contently laid their forks into Filet Mignon de Boeuf Grille, Sauce Periogourdine and Croquettes de Riz de Sauvage we disappeared back into our assigned room April 21, 1978 to chalk off two hours in an attempt to study. History. literature, education, music theory, and even a few political science books made their way from various knapsacks and piles of books throughout the room. At about 10:15. we made our way back downstairs and waited in formation for about 45 minutes. Once back on the risers, we sang seven numbers of Canadian or American origin. I don't know how many of you have ever sang in the Crystal Court (it would be interesting for you to try some day). The sound is quickly lost as it bounces around somewhere in the atmosphere high above our heads. The audience was none the-less-appreciative and gave us a standing ovation. With people like Senator Wendall Anderson and big business men like the Donaldsons in the audience. I was really excited by the warmth and the interest that our numbers received. And even though we finished singing at 11:30 and felt tired to the bone. all the smiles and heartfelt clapping made the extension of my 11:00 bedtime curfew entirely alright. Back on board the bus. we were pleasantly surprised by a visit from Senator Wendall Anderson. Amidst the rumors that the Canadians had never heard anyone sing their national anthem better and the peaceful feeling of a performance well done. we sang our way back to Augsburg. I don't think that the downtown streets of Minneapolis have ever heard “America the Beautiful" and "0 Canada" sung quite so well. {iii/3.473 a3 fifii/lififl' 'Saturday Night Fever': Alive! Reviewed By CAROL WILSHIRE Probably nothing has done more to popularize the disco beat than Paramount‘s current box office success. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. This movie. laced with hard hitting Brooklyn street talk and what some consider to be “raunchy” sexual overtones; is the most dynamic movie of 1977. Its main source of impact is the electrifying. sensitive performance of newcomer. John Travolta. Before seeing the film, I was skeptical of this “sweathog's” acting potential, not sure if I could sit through two hours of the Vinnie Barbarino “stupidity stare." Travolta left no trace of his television character in his moving performance as Tony Manero, a 19 year old paint store clerk by day, and high strutting disco king by night. ’I‘ravolta's vulnerability is his biggest asset. His character is masculine and proud. yet gentle and non-threatening. He can laugh: but he can cry too. He portrays a character the audience can identify with. much like Sylvester Stallone's "Rocky." The American public loves an underdog. and it has found one in Tony Manero. Working in a paint store and living at home with a nagging mother and a bitter unemployed father, Tony escapes Friday and Saturday nights to the disco, where he receives instant respect and admiration. While his friends pop pills and guzzle booze to escape. Tony finds his high through dancing. But, he realizes something is missing in his life. He wants to "get that high from something else" in his life. Unsure of how to deal with his feelings, compounded by family and peer pressure to conform. he meets Stephanie (Karen Lynn Gomey), an ambitious young woman working in a public relations agency; in the middle of making a transition from Brooklyn to prestigious Manhattan. and to a “better” life. Trying to hide her own vulnerability with a sharp tongue and a cool, ego-centric mask. she and Tony become dancing partners. Aside from dancing together. they develop a warm. supportive relationship, and Stephanie serves as the catalyst for Tony's eventual breakaway. While the scenes centering on Travolta or Travolta and Gomey are moving and powerful, many of the subplots (the movie contains far too many), tend to be confusing and unjustified. Despite good direction and generally a high quality of acting. too many factors detract from the central theme of the movie. Karen Gomey's performance as Stephanie is convincing, and her dancing is nicely done. Travolta's dancing, with his natural style and fluid body motion. is explosive, The original music. written and performed by the Bee Gees. has proven to be the most popular musical score in years. and the additional music and adaptation by David Shire. is effective as well. Filmed entirely on location on the streets of New York City. the dialogue is very real. and while not appropriate for a church service or bridge party, it is an essential part of the story. Due partially to the controversy of Saturday Night Fever and it being his first major sceen role. John Travolta failed to win Best Actor honors at the recent Academy Awards. Never the less, Travolta is a star. and one must believe he is a major talent. hopefully delivering sensational performances regularly from now on. Introductory Offer!

Paychecks page 3 Faculty appears to be against it By DAVID RAETHER Editor As Commencement approaches the debate over whether Augsburg should give out honorary doctorates has flared up again. For the third time since 1966 the Board of Regents and the President of the College proposed to the Faculty Senate that the Faculty Constitution be amended to allow for the awarding of honorary doctorates. The proposal was submitted for discussion at the faculty at its meeting of Thursday. Apr. 6, 1978. Echo was not allowed to attend the meetings because all faculty meetings are closed to most students. Reportedly, however. the majority of the debate was between Dr. Leland Sateren, Professor of Music. and Dr. John Holum, Professor of Chemistry, with additional arguments put forth by Dr. Kenneth Bailey. former Dean of Academic Affairs and currently an Associate Professor of Philosophy. and Dr. Carl Chrislock, Professor of History. Bailey spoke in favor, Chrislock against. Sateren presented the main arguments for the proposal, Holum against The proposal was introduced by President Anderson. Anderson strongly advocates the honorary doctorate. In his statement to the faculty, Anderson said. “This accepted and venerable practice by academic institutions has on the whole been a salutary one. as its continuation in the most prestigious and fastidious institutions attests. The time is propitious, it seems to me, to consider whether to bestow recognition upon worthy individuals, at the same time gathering honor unto itself, in either case without apology." Anderson suggested four reasons for conferring honorary degrees. First. he said, the action publicly recognizes the contribution individuals have made to society. “A college exists to serve society; hence, a college has the priviledge to award its approbation to those in society, whether they have achieved scholastic distinction or not, whose accomplishments in the education field, in government or the church have made them valuable allies to the mission of the college." Second. according to Anderson, the honorary degree is one method whereby academic institutions can express appreciation. Anderson‘s third point was that "by granting honorary doctorates, academic institutions have been able to place emphasis upon those disciplines. activities and values which they foster as colleges and universities. The granting of such a degree can make a statement as to what the institution stands for and emphasizes, and which it wants to see replicated in its own products." Finally, said Anderson, “A college brings honor to itself when it honors others who are worthy. A college can take justifiable pride in being among those whose accolades have been bestowed upon an individual whose service. accomplishments and contribution to society have merited distinction." Anderson argued that the reasons he felt the faculty opposed the honorary doctorates were not valid. First. he said. Augsburg is now a full~fledged and accredited liberal arts college, where it once was only a seminary. Secondly, argued Anderson. the unwillingness to grant honorary doctorates comes from false pride. "The piety. poverty and position of Augsburg tended to create a false humility about which it was too easy to be proud. We are not as big or as rich or as well known as other colleges and, hence, we are a bit better because we don't do things as they do, particularly when it comes to worldly honors." According to President Anderson. the faculty fears the honorary doctorates, and this is not necessary. "Apprehension has been expressed that the practice of granting the honorary doctorate can lead to abuses. Granted, the possibility exists but we should have sufficient faith in our wisdom to provide such safeguards as will make the term honoris causa genuinely meaningful." Anderson also pointed out that it is Augsburg which is out of step by not granting honorary doctorates. "Frankly." said Anderson. "there are no positive gains to which we can point for the policy of no honorary degrees. We have received no publicity for not granting them, we have built no buildings because we don't do it, we have created no endowments, funded no scholarships. established no profession chairs. achieved no respect nor managed any recognition." Sateren said he supported the proposal on several grounds. In a statement to the faculty, Sateren stated “I do not recognize that there is anything inherently wrong in the notion that a liberal arts college (which does not offer the earned doctoratel confer Debate flares on honorary doctorates proposal an honorary doctorate . . . unless those on a given faculty who own earned doctorates feel their doctorates give them neither the authority nor the stature necessary to conferring honorary doctorates." “0n the other hand." Sateren added. “there could be a lot which is inherently wrong in holding to a policy which prevents an institution from granting such a degree." Sateren said he favored them for two reasons. First, he said that his honorary doctorates have meant a great deal to him. According to Sateren, in 1948 there was a drive on the faculty to earn their doctorates. It was at this time. said Sateren, that “I happened to be ‘hot' as a composer." Sateren said that he proposed to the then-President Bernhard Christensen that. in lieu of further graduate study, he be allowed to continue his creative work in composing. In the years since Sateren has turned in 30 year-end reports to the Dean for Academic Affairs accounting his creative work done for the year. “They (the year-end reportsl catalog what is now hundreds of compositions. as well as books. booklets, monographs. and articles. I believe it is fair to say—without in any way minimizing the value and significance of a single earned doctorate on our faculty—that this body of creative works had been of far greater value to Augsburg than any doctorate I might have earned lat the expense of composition—as it would have had to have been)" Thus. argued Sateren, his two honorary doctorates have a great meaning to him. Satem was awarded and L.I-I.D. from Gettysburg College in 1965 and a D. Mus. from Lakeland College also in 1965. Sateren's other argument for honorary deoctorates was that it would be an honor both for certain highly deserving individuals to receive an honorary doctorate. and for the College to cleam these same individuals as alumni. “So there is reciprocity." said Sateren. “Augsburg and the recipient are merited on both sides at the highest level of which each is capable." Sateren characterized the current policy against honorary doctorates as "a policy which really says. ‘We aren't much, we're not very good, we hold ourselves in low esteem. We don't have stature. standing, and distinction'." The best policy, argued Sateren, would be to "establish demonstrably clear. water~tight. no nonsense guidelines for sifting the candidates." Sateren said that he had no guidelines in mind at this time but would be willing to work with a faculty committee to establish such guidelines. Holum. on the other hand, is adamantly opposed to the conferring of honorary doctorates. “It isn't right, it isn't fitting. it isn‘t proper," said Holum. who earned his PhD from the University of Minnesota in 1954, “for an institution to grant the title Doctor by an honorary mechanism when it can‘t by the normal route." Holum said that the faculty is disturbed at the Regents and the President again for proposing the change in policy when the change has been rejected soundly in the past. Augsburg is the only college in the state of Minnesota and the only college in the American Lutheran Church which does not confer honorary doctorates. When asked what was wrong with the college adopting a new policy, Holum replied, “What is right with Augsburg giving them?" Holum felt that this argument is faulty on two counts. First, said Holum, not everyone is giving out honorary doctorates. He cited a study, done in the mid '60's by Thomas Haines. a former Vice President at Ithaca College in Ithaca. New York, that only 500 schools were doing it. This. said Holum is only about one fourth of the total number of colleges and Universities in the US. Secondly. argued Holum, numbers are not useful for determining what we ought to do. “Numbers don't decide what's right. You have to determine what's the right thing. not the crowd thing." At most of the colleges where honorary doctorates are given out. said Holum. he felt the faculties are opposed to them. Holum said that the greatest area of abuse of the honorary doctorates is among the clergy. particularly in the A.L.C. In the A.L.C. everytime a person is elected as District President and does not have a Doctorate, one of the A,L.C. colleges confers one on him. This is also done with college presidents in the A.L.C. who do not have earned Doctorates. In 1963. the year that Oscar Anderson took over as President of Augsburg, he received‘an L.L.D. from Concordia College in Moorhead. . ..

Show moreCentrex System to be installed to improve phone system The much hated and reviled switchboard is finally on its may call By JOHN KARASON Staff Writer Augsburg will be installing a new phone stystem for both offices and student residences next year. The Centrex I and II systems will replace the present central switchboard. The replacement is being carried out "in response to a number of problems of the phone service," said Wayne Pederson, Acting Vice-President of Finance. The college went seeking a solution and “the phone company recommended Centrex," Pederson said. "Centrex is a computer operated communications system. It's a very flexible system." Pederson said. There are two different systems that will be used next year. “We're intending to put in Centrex I in housing and Centrex II in all administration and faculty offices." Pederson said. There will be no added fee to the students for next year. although a fee is being proposed for the following year. Although every office will be covered by the new system next year only partial service will be offered directly to students. "Centrex I is an installation of a totally new type of phone service. For next year it will be provided on a limited basis," Pederson saidl Umess and Memorial will have two phones per floor. Mortensen and West Hall will not have phones until the following year. The only change will be in annex housing where each house will lose a phone. All students will be able to buy into the system even if their on-campus residence will not automatically be linked up. “We're guessing $35 to $40 per year," Pederson said about the fee. “I hope they keep the system low enough so students buy into the system," Student Body President Kevin Bonderud said "It's a good system and I'm glad we're going to us it." he added. Pederson said that the old stystem has several problems. Among them are line restrictions, "rushed service that results in image problems and in some cases lost communications." The system is “old” and has a "cost efficiency problem. Cabling is poor in many areas." he said. “Centrex l operates like a private home phone except it ties into the larger system." Pederson said. Students will be able to place long distance calls without going through an operator. They will also be able to connect with any other phone in the system by dialing four digits. The Centrex II system offers the same benefits with several additions. "You can program calls to a different station," Pederson explained. “This can be done in the initial program or from each station." he said. The computer will relay calls to where ever it is programmed to do so. Pederson continued to explain. “You can have held calls without losing the original." Other benefits of the system are call for- warding to open lines. a conference call structure, and transferring calls. all without the aid of an operator. "Any long distance calls (the student) would settle with the phone company." said Pederson. “The only thing charged Bewitched, bothered and bewildered? Try 8.0.8.

Is this where I can get free tickets to see the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra? Anyone who knew the answers to all these questions, and more. would have to be either an encyclopedia or work at 80.8. SOS, which is located at the reception desk in the college center is set up to answer all types of questions for Augsburg students and visitors. If you find youself lost on your way to Si Melby. SOS will provide you with directions as well. SOS stands for seek or speak. Community information such as city bus schedules for the area can be gotten at SOS as well as listings of community events. Information about theatre performances such as The Guthrie and Dudley Riggs and upcoming art shows is another one of the services offered at SOS, There is a wide variety of information about the campus. Faculty phone numbers. office numbers. and office hours are available at SOS. Roommate files and housing information are kept at SOS. Supplies such as ditto paper for student use can be obtained at SOS. For those students who wake up at3200 in the morning and lie awake wondering what will be served for dinner the next day. SOS has a 24 hour recording which tells the daily menus and events. This can be reached by dialing 505; the recording gives an accurate summing up of the day in terms of food and events. A reference library, set up last year, is another feature of SOS. This compact library contains dictionaries, cookbooks and a variety of books about such things as camping, biking, health care and how to hitchhike. The person behind SOS who is responsible for making it operate smoothly is Kris lverson. a senior here at Augsburg. Kris has many duties as SOS coordinator. such as preparing the 24 hour recording and putting up the bulletin board of upcoming events in the college center, She gathers and organizes information. She was already working on SOS before the fall semester started and spent three weekends during the summer getting SOS ready for the year, She says that now her hours are a lot shorter averaging about five per DA‘. >0 memes LARRY COUTUPE SUE BONNER KATHARINE SKIBBE AAYr—u‘v var-wt- EMILIE NVSTUEN MEL-\N'E SISTEF'.‘AN MOREN JONATHAN c DAVID C WOOD Fscwrt Comm 1:“! week.

Show moreAugust Weenaas: The Forgotten Founder By KATHY YAKAL Associate Editor Tucked away in a corner of Mortensen Tower is a small study room named Weenaas Lounge. Funny that August Weenaas, after whom theroomwas named, has received such insignificant recognition: he was the founder of Augsburg College. President Oscar Anderson, in a Founder's Week address, talked about the man “ . . . too often forgotten at Augsburg." “Weenaas had the courage to go out and found a new institution," said Anderson. That courage prompted Weenaas to leave his native land of Norway at the age of 33 and, with his wife and family, relocate in the small town of Paxton in eastern Illinois. He had been called there to teach theology to the Norwegian—speaking population at the seminary there. A rift over whether one should eat butter, syrup, or both on their spartan diet of bread was one of the more minor issues that separated the two strains of Scandinavians at the school. At the 1869 Annual Conference of the Scandinavian Augustana Synod held at Molina, Illinois. plans were initiated to establish a separate seminary. Marshall, Wisconsin was chosen as the site and August Weenaas, the chief administra- tor. There were problems at Marshall. Financial difficulties, low enrollment, and controversy over the seminary's role within the synod forced Augsburg out of the Marshall facilities. At that point, Weenaas was ready to give up. But his students weren't. The handful of young people that still believed in a future for Augsburg convinced Weenaas to keep trying. A farmer named Cooper allowed the students to study, and some even live, on his property. So for a while, the whole of Augsburg—“classroom, chapel and student center," described Carl Chris- lock—existed in an attic 10 by 18 feet by 8 feet high. “That’s two-thirds the size of my office," remarked President Anderson. Obviously, that arrangement couldn't go on forever. And neither the conference nor the students would give up. So a new location was chosen. As Anderson said of the decision, “There was no city better suited than Minneapolis." Many years of history since Augs- burg’s move to Minneapolis in 1874 have provided plenty of important figures after whom buildings could be named. But none, according to Anderson, have done as much of importance as Corporations offer cash for contestants Wella Balsaam Teams of college students across the country will be spending their fall and winter months developing a complete advertising campaign to sell Wells Balsam Shampoos and Conditioners—in a race to win the 1979 National Student Advertising Competition. Competing students—including ad- vertising, marketing and communication majors—will develop complete adver- tising campaigns, marketing strategies, and media plans from the case study prepared by Wella's ad agency, James Neal Harvey, Inc.. immediately available through AAF district officials or from AAF headquarters, 1225 Connecticut Ave., N.W.. Washington, DC. 20036. In the spring, each college or university, represented by a team of two to five students, will compete in AAF district competitions across the cou‘l'try. A panel of advertising professionals selects one team from each district to participate in the national finals, which is the opening event of the AAF’s annual convention, to take place June 9-13 in Washington, Dc. AAF Executive Vice President Jonah Gitlitz. chief administrator of the student completition, noted, “The new product category will undoubtedly add to the challenge and excitement of this year’s contest." Mr. Gitlitz further observed that students have often received job interviews or even been hired through their participation in the student competition at the district or national level. Friends of Animals, Inc. A national essay contest, focusing on the use of animals in research and education programs, was announced today by Alice Herrington, president of Friends of Animals, lnc. (FoA). The best essay will receive a first prize of $2,000. There will be three awards of second prizes of $1,000 each and six awards of third prizes in the amount of $500.00 each. The question for this year’s contest is: “Why should the Congress end funding of research and education programs that involve the use of animals and divert these funds to alternative methods?" The contest is aimed at encouraging American students to help in the development of a new ethic for the treatment of non—human animals. Now in its second year, the competition is made possible through a grant from Regina Bauer Frankenberg, a director and vice» president of the national animal welfare organization. “My purpose in funding the contest is to encourage interest in this new ethic," said Ms. Frankenberg. “The past decade has witnessed strides in popular consciousness of the need for animal protection legislation. I want to add to this progress." In announcing the contest, Ms. Herrington said, “Humans have used animals for their own purposes for thousands of years. As a result of ignorance and economic self-interest, we have developed rather deep-seated attitudes about our relationship to other species. We have erected strong emotional, philosophical and legal barriers that reserve ethical considera- tions only for ourselves.” Weenaas. “Historians are quick to point out his faults but look—he was willing to go out not knowing what would happen. He was a man of great courage and faith." Carl Chrislock, professor of history at Augsburg, agrees. In Fjord to Freeway he talks about how Weenaas' years of dedication have been overshadowed by two more visible figures. “The massive reputation of the Georg Sverdrup-Sven Oftedal team. Weenaas' immediate successors in Augsburg leadership, has to a large extent obscured the pioneer president. ” The thrust of President Anderson's Founder's Week address was clear; as he vehemently declared, “August Weenaas does not deserve to be forgotten. ” ----------< Personals Food service: “Jamal the Magnificant," the amazing mystic, seer, and soothsayer, was correct when he said that anybody who eats in the Augsburg cafeteria is an "endangered species."

The Pilots Club To defend a national championship First home game Monday By LARRY COUTURE Editor Hockey at Augsburg is more than a winter sport.’ Hockey is the interim pastime. Fans travel to St. Peter. Collegeville. and Northfield to avoid missing a game. Last year Augsburg brought home a national championship. The Auggies travel to Mankato on Saturday to begin defense of that national championship. On Monday evening Augsburg hosts a rematch of last year's title game against Bemidji. November 17. 1978‘ The Beavers promise to be up for this game. Augsburg lost several key players to graduation: Gary Hughes, Steve Nelson, and Jim Peterson are gone along with Tim Date and Bruce Hendrickson. Centers Stan Blom and Jeff Blake did not return to school this fall, further complicating matters. “Defensiver we're going to look very strong." explained head hockey coach Ed Saugestad. “up front we have quite a few people competing for spots." Goal tending will again be an Augsburg forte. Dick Rain and Tom Kuulenkamp return in the nets. Both have proven themselves in critical situations and will more than likely split duties again this year. Brian Gauger and Paul Hughes return for their third year as a starting defensive pair. Last year they were solid; this year they will be among the best in the MIAC. Paul Holmquist and Jeff James are the other returning defensive pair. Holmquist is the hardest hitting Auggie on a team that skates a fast, clean game. It requires very few I.Q. points for opponents to realize consequences of a cheap shot when Holmquist is on the ice. James proved himself in last year's national tournament. Returning forwards include Chuck McCan. Chris Walker, Vern McIntyre. Mike Ericson and Captain Jim Freeburg. Left wings Jim Roof and Mark Lewis also saw quite a bit of action last year. Many new faces are competing for spots— Terry Brown and Jim Evans seem safe. Freeburg commented on the team's chances in the MIAC. “Gustavus should be right up there with us. It‘s hard to tell much about the other teams because of their high turnover." Thanksgiving weekend Augsburg defends its Northland/MIAC champion- ship at the Bloomington lce Gardens. The number one seeded Auggies meet St. Olaf in their first game Thursday at 4:15 p.m. The double elimination tourney continues Friday and Saturday nights with the winner emerging as the conference favorite.
