Pfefi'er seems to have chosen his words well be- cause 15 of the 23 men currently practicing are freshmen. St. John's, St. Thomas, Concordia and Gusta- vus should all boast improved teams. When one considers this fact and also the Auggies’ loss through graduation of such veterans as the Miller twins, Rick Snow, and Joel Branes it is easy to see why coach I’l‘eil'er discounts talk that labels his team the “favorite” to retain its conference crown. Supplying leadership for the Auggies this year will be team can- tain Mike Good. a junior from Frid- ley who last year gained second place honors in the NAIA tourna- ment in Omaha. Other returning veterans are Larry Stewart (two- time defending MIAC champ), Bill Hickman and Ron Johnson (run- ners-up in last year's conference meet), sophomores Pat Marcy and Jim Mastro, senior Gene Skoglund and junior Bob Martin. Art Scheu- nemann, a junior who has not wres‘ tled his first two years at Augs- burg, has also reported for prac— til'l’.

The struggle should be every bit as in- teresting in the middle weights where Chris Gates, Jefi' Erickson, Jim Carlson, Mark Mattison, Rob- bie Davidson and Mark Morris each plan to earn a place. In the upper weights, freshmen Kim Anderson, Jon Hanson, Doug Anderson, Steve Dahlman, and Ter- ry Peterson all hope to gain var- sity positions. Adding up the pluses and mi- nuses facing this year’s team there is still good reason for an optimis- tic outlook. The Auggies have an abundance of talent in weights 118 through 167. In all there are 17 men competing for the seven var- sity positions available. The inten- sity of competition should develop a polished varsity in the lower and middle weights. On the other hand, the three up- per weights are a real question mark due to inexperience.

This Saturday Augsburg gets into action once again at our third an- nual Takcdown Tournament at 9 am. in Melby. In summing up the team’s pros- pects for this season, coach Pfef- fer and captain Good feel last year’s dual meet record will be hard to match because of the tougher schedule the Augs are facing.

Anonymous Reporter Finds, Council "Ads" Interesting “Lose Their Money and Run (for Re-election)" is a new and unique type of drama that Student Coun- cil has presented lately on Monday evenings. The presentations are difi‘erent from other forms of drama in that each performance is unplanned (ex- cept for a little scheming here and there) and each performance itself is different (except for the common feature of boredom among specta- tors). The producer of the act is Beacom Associates and the director is Tod Hanson. The plot centers around the los- ing of $14,000 and how the cast tries to make it up. Each of the members attacks the problem in varying ways. Miss Grindal gets the problem off her hands by im» plying that it i: the council's prob- lem and that they should find the solution. A] Zirzow, playing the role of cynic, explains that the so- lution to the crisis is to sell candy. Jackie Henry, playing the peo- ple's protector, advises the council to appropriate $800 to the Black Student Union (to help the situa- tion).

Meanwhile, Ron Johnson and Pete Agre, among others, have managed to abstain from debate entirely by not bothering to show up. Finally, Ron Wahlberg makes one of his many motions. He moves that “the executive branch look into the possibility of maybe secur- ing a loan if it is feasible and ev- eryone thinks it is a good idea and that a committee of distinguished and influential members of Student Council of Augsburg assist the ex- ecutive branch into looking into this.” The members debate the motion by clarifying the terms: “What is ‘ the executive branch?

Council be gan by questioning Augsburgian editor Jill Steele. She said she could order less books (a trick already employed by the Echo to save money), cut the number of pages (also being don e by the Echo), and change the format (which will p r o h a bl y come this term with the Echo), but that she would need at least $3000 to begin with and some advertising income. Discussion muddled along until Ron Wahlberg made a motion w h i c h seemed to cover all angles. Major points and efl'ects of his resolution were: 1) $6000 LOAN, PAYABLE OVER TWO YEARS. 2) CUT BACK BUDGET IN FOLLOWING MANNER: A. Echo—$1500 B. Program—$3450 C. Augsburgian—SHOO D.

This will be done in two steps. First, I will present all the responses to two sets of ques- tions sent out to members of the student body. In the second section, I will put forth my own opinions; the reader should keep in mind that the ideas I present are mine alone, and not necessarily those of any -sothspatafl.membcr or any other Augsburg student for that matter. With this in mind, let us begin by examining the responses to the let- ters ssntout to the student body. First, approximately twenty- five members of student govern- ment received a letter which I shall print in toto here: “Dear Council Members and other people in student government: "I’m sure all of you feel the deep concern that the Echo stafl' does concerning the fiscal problems fac- ing the Student Society. In order to present an explanation to the student body, I plan to devote three-fourths of the next issue of the Echo to Student Government on this campus. I need your help in this undertaking. In particular, I ,am writing a long editorial in which I‘hope to trace the rise of the problem. the actions of the council in trying to solve the prob- lem, and the reactions of members of the student body to this whole question. Could you answer the fol- lowing questions for me, and get than into my 11.0. or the Echo p.o. by Wednesday, Novcmbcr 26? If I do not receivs a reply from you by that time, I will be unable to include whatever comment you might wish to make. Feel free to roam away from these questions, too, if you would like, and address yourself to the problem as you un- derstand it. I would like to inter- view all of you, but problems with make this an impossibility. Think m for your consideration." ‘Six responses were received to that law, on verbal and five written. The questions asked were the following: ' 1. What do you think of the action sound! look! A. Whatisyourreactiontothc m of the cut on ma Augsburglan? B. What is your reaction to the cuts on the Program Com- mission! o. What do you drink about the loan! D. What other proposals would you make to get us out of the mire? 2. Would you limit our problems to any one person, group, or event or do you think the en- tire student body is at fault? 3. Have you asked your constitu- ency what they think about this? Do they care? Have you represented their viewpoints, do you think ? Mike Manz, responding orally, deplored the- cut'iri the Augsburg- ian in particular. He felt that the loan was the only fair way out of the problem, and also saw the prob- lem as arising from the whole stu- dent government rather than from any one person or event. Sophomore representative Rach- el Iverson outlined the following answers: “1) Approve of action in general. A. Personally, I don't mind— however, I would rather a large Echo out than Augs— burgian cut. B. Negative, but seeing no ac- ceptable alternative at the moment, it is imperative. C. A loan is necessary. I favor the two year over the short- er time loan. D. A budget freeze. Placing blame is not my duty or the duty of the council. The debt has been incurred and we have to determine what to do with it. The most we can do in the area of blame is decide on future concerts—to have or not to have. We decided ‘not to have' and in this sense blamed big name committee for con- cert choices and student body. for not attending plus Minne- apolis concert trends—in other words, a combination of all factors. Yes, however the above views are mine because the questions were directed 'How do you feel . . .' People I've talked to disapprove of the Augsburgian cut, but have no other solution. Several want an extended loan (several years), while others support council action as the only possible action." “2) us) Junior Linda Filipl wrote the following reaction: "I think the action taken by the Student Council was the only real- istic solution possible. A loan was very nsmsary and since this yur’s . be - .v u . forthisdcbglfcelitisonlyrisht to try and pay back half of it this year and leave the rest to be paid back next year. Al t h o u g h next year’s students should not be bur- dened with a debt at the beginning of the year, it is the only possible way the debt can be paid back with- out cutting off all activities for this year. “I think the cuts made were very reasonable since most s t u d e n t 5 don’t care about an Augsburgian or the social events sponsored by the- Program Commission. Maybe when some of these things are tak- en away from them for a while, they will appreciate them and may- be even attend some of the events provided for them. “I definitely think the entire stu- dent body is at fault somewhat but not exclusively. This is because, as I said before, the students don’t at, tend the events; but then when such groups as Paul Revere and the Raiders are brought here, one can hardly expect a majority of the students to attend. So I feel that no one person is entirely at fault. “I can only say that I regret that this had to happen, but since it did, there's no sense wasting time try- ing to decide who is at fault, but rather we should all work together to get through this and make sure it doesn't happen again!" Dave Andell, junior class presi- dent. deplored the budget cuts, say- ing council "should have looked for another way out." He accepted the loan idea as "possibly the only way out," and suggested further that “maybe the school c ou l d have loaned or given us some money." In answering the second question, An- dell wrote “I don't think that one person can be blamed. Maybe the first concert, if an event should have been blamed—bad choice of bands." Finally he concluded that "there is more concern than what shows. People are more concerned than we think about what happens to their money. They don't have any more of an idea of what to do than anyone else." Freshman class President Ken Anderson also took the time to re- spond to the questionnaire. His an- swer follows: "In reference to your requests for comments on the fiscal prob- lems caused by the failure of the last two concerts, I would be more than happy to give you some of my “After discussing the matter $10 ALLOTMENT FOR THE JUNIOR CLASS. LEAVING A BALANCE OF 5510. 9 Figuring the highest interest rate on the loan at 7 per cent (on improbably high figure), Wahlberg figured that $420 would cover the interest on the loan, leaving $90 in bal~ ance. Aftcr long discussions this was finally accepted. Dnhlman then brought up a discussion of the win» ter (fourth) concert and possible mini-concerts with groups like the Goliards. Francis moved that no money be allotted for concerts, and that all future concerts be taken 100 per cent by Harry Beacom, who is the promoter for Augsburg's con- certs. While this sounds contradic- tory. it is not; Program Commis» sion remains free to use its funds to sponsor a concert, and funds are not specifically allocated for con- certs anyway. So a concert at Snow Days remains a possibility. The meeting adjourned. One question of importance was raised at the meeting by adviser Page 3 Don Gustnfson. Gus questioned the possibility of n lunn. Ron Mnriinsun quickly cnlnicd all doubts by stating that he had in fact checked into the matter. nnd that \\'l\ll\‘ there was no probable commitment. there was a tentativo form of ngn‘cnu'nt in tho Trcnsurcr's office to \‘o-sign a note. THE NEXT D A Y. Mnrtinson told me that the plans hnd fallen through nml that u now wrinkle had been added—it was ncrcssnry that n regent sign any note mining out of the college. With the impos- sibility of procuring n lonn mn- ironting n hastily nctivc council, it was obvious that tluI whole of thlbcrg's bill bccnnn- inoperative. A special meeting was culled for December 2 to discuss u now pro- posnl by Lnrhnc to pnrtinlly freezi- the budget. Sinu- tbnt m o c t i n p: ('OII'IOS after the Echo ili'nillinc but before publlrniinn of th 0 Echo, many people know by now the out come of that issue. The next issue of the Echo will discuss the results of actions taken in the opening weeks of the winter term. with my constituency and others, I realize that a number of people are looking for specific individuals or groups upon which to lay the blame. I feel that it is entirely wrong to do so, as the concerts were business risks designed to make a profit. My constituency was shocked and concerned, and this is natural considering the amount of the loss. The point is that the time spent locking for someone to blame should be spent looking for solu- tions, and ways to avoid this situa- tion in the future. “I feel that criticism of the com- mittee that investigated solutions is somewhat valid. The committee proposed one s o l u ti o n that it thought the most desirable, but I felt that a list of different possibili- ties should have been drawn up. However, I feel that Ron Wahl- berg’s bill adequately distributes the budget cuts. I don't feel that any one organization should receive a total cut, and I’m sure my con- stituency would agree with me. The cuts on the Augsburgian and the Program Commission were equally severe in respect to the limitations placed on the functions of each. “I feel that the entire burden shouldn’t be placed on this year's organizations, and that a loan does a somewhat adequate job of carry- ing part of the debt over to the next year. “The issue that will be debated in the future is the philosophy behind holding concerts of big name qual- ity. The question that has to be an- swered will be: are the concerts to be held to make money or are they to be provided simply as a service to students by allowing promoters to hold them in our building? "Thank you for allowing me to express some of my opinions con- cerning the matter." Finally, sophomore representa- tive John Gisselquist answered the letter in the following manner: “While writing this, I'm taking it for granted that Darrell has ac- curately described the financial siL uation the Augsburg Student Soci- ety is in. I think the real problems we face here are: 1) finding a scapegoat; 2) budgeting ourselves for the rest of the year; and 3) making sure the same thing doesn't happen again. All three problems are equally cumbersome and vague. “As far as finding a scapegoat is concerned. I suppose the first place to look would be council, because council has the ultimate control over Student Society funds. Last spring council gave Program Com- mission the right to sign four con- tracts during the summer for the upcoming school year. Contracts had to be signed during the sum- mer because they have to be signed quite a bit ahead of the perform- ance date to insure getting a good act (or any act). "This year's council came into office only a few weeks before school was out last year. The deci~ sion to sign the contracts could only have been given by this coun- cil because it involved this year's funds. There was no time to find out exactly what acts we could get and no way of proving that there would be so many acts in the city at this time that would lose money. Concerts as a whole in the past have made money and, whatever anyone says, they have always been set up to make money. "When your budget does not in- clude insurance for losses from big name entertainment, as it never has here as at most other schools, you have to set up your concerts to profit. There is no such thing as ‘break-even’ in a field as instable as big name entertainment. We have lost before (for example, the Brothers Four), but we've never lost twice in a row. As for that, we now find ourselves in a position where we can't risk any more mon- ey. "As far as putting the blame on Program Commission, it is George Dahlmsn and Tod Hanson who set up these programs apart from Pro- gram Commission and its funds. I sincerely hope that'thcir point of View was solicited because I cer- tainly don’t feel justified to speak for them and it would be rldiculoul not to have their point of view given. "Putting the blame on the stu- dent society as a whole for not turning out seems rather ridicu- lous. If they didn't turn out, the programs must not have intercom them enough to spend that much money to go to them. And ifthat is the case the programs weren't right. "Concerning budgeting for the rest of the year, 3000 additional dollars will have to be cut from the budget put out at the last coun- cil meeting, because the school (keeping in mind that some money has been spent for this first part of the school year) would not co-cign a loan.

Show moreFriday, December 5 (continued from page 4) Another student inspected the concerts closely: “I feel the Student Society had little choice but to take the actions that it did. I am rather dismayed, however, at the third action, name- ly the out back of funds for the Program Commission, because I feel that many of the activities pre- sented by the Commission are ex- tremely important and are appre- ciated more than we might expect. I wish someone could come up with a fund-raising proposal to help al- leviate our losses. Such a project would require large-scale plans and enthust and frankly I don't know what it might be. "As to the reasons for our losses, I can only go by my experience and those of my friends. None of us could summon any desire to go hear Paul Revere and the Raiders. We would have liked to have seen Pat Paulsen and the First Edition, but, as is the case with many of the students, our pocketbooks were too bare. We want big names, but then many of us can't alford to go see them. "Also, the scheduling was not al- ways ideal for us; a performance at the Little Theater (which, inci- dentally, drew a full house) was held on the same night as the Pat Paulsen concert. The only solution I can see is to get acts that are not well-known e n o u g h to demand large feesk but up - and - coming enough to interest the students. I also think more and more people are beginning to appreciate ‘Soul’ music— just listen to the records that are being played in the Chin- wag and listen to the students’ mu- sic chatter. “It’s a gritty problem. Maybe we'll have to refrain from bringing as much big name entertainment to the campus—maybe only one big concert a year." " ‘fir‘junior‘ student questioned the possibilities of a student poll be- fore a concert: “In reviewing this problem, the actions taken seem to be fair to some extent. Although the plan- ning commission on activities shouldn’t receive the whole blame for the loss of money, they should accept some responsibility for what has happened. It might have been better to have spaced the big name entertainment further apart rather than having them both in October. “A person may ask, ‘How were we to know that it wouldn’t turn out?’ To an extent they are right. However, I believe that a poll might have been taken of fresh- men, sophomores and juniors of what their reaction to these groups at that particular time might have been. Froni this poll. an idea might have formed as to if these groups were popular e n o u g b and were wanted rather than assuming that they would be acceptable to the en- tire college. "The things done about the loss in budget money seem somewhat appropriate. However, I feel that the seniors shouldn’t be deprived of their pictures in the annual nor should the Echo have sufiered so much. Eliminating other social events also appears rather harsh since it isn't really the fault of the entire student body. “The idea of borrowing the mon- ey was really the only thing that could have been done. Yet, I feel that an all school sponsored event should have been made probably to help pay the loss. For in this way, the working of everyone together on campus might further the pro- motion of working better together and help stop apathy that seems to be going on today." One student took the present bind to generalize what he sees as I prevailing attitude around the campus: “I was completely unaware that the loss on the concerts were so big as to demand these cutbacks. I don’t like the idea of cutting down the Augsburgian, the paper, etc. But I don’t see that we can hold the officials of the Student Society responsible financially—so I guess the loss has to come out of our other activities. "However, since the two concerts were planned without my knowl- edge and consent, I feel I have a right to complain. The Student So- ciety officers are playing around with a lot of our money, and they are expected to exercise good judg- ment. Everyone is entitled to a mistake once in a while, but why plan two concerts? (One loss would have been better than two, right?) “I think that the whole student body should be presented with the facts and with all of the action Stu- dent Society has taken to correct the situation. "This is exactly the thing I dis- like most about this school—the way other people are throwing my money around. Whether it's for losses at concerts, uninteresting symposiums, a dull Centennial week, etc., we work hard for that money and don’t like to see it treat- ed so lightly. In other words, I don't like the whole thing. If I can be of further ‘help’ please let me know.” Another 5 t u d e n t deplored the cut-back in services to the student body: “It was with disgust th at I learned about the proposed cut- backs in student services due to the financial losses at two so-called col- lege concerts that were in reality public concerts that took place on the Augsburg campus. Though the students paid a ridiculous (over 200 per cent) increase in their general fee this year, they received no spe- cial discount on tickets. If the pur- pose of the fee was to improve the services to students, it has been a great failure. ‘ ' "Concerts at other colleges suc- ceed, so why do Augsburg’s fail? A recent concert held at a St. Paul college was packed with most of the viewers coming from the spon- soring college. This college gave discounts on tickets to its own stu- dents which seems only fair if the purpose of such activities as con- certs is to benefit the student pop- ulation. Perhaps this idea is lack- ing in the planning of concerts at Augsburg. “Another reason for the success of this other concert was the wide appeal on the campus for the per- forming artist. While I admire the courage and sheer 'guts' of the Augsburg group responsible for bringing on to this campus those heroes of the tinsel-teeth set known as Paul Revere and the Raiders, I wonder if their appeal to the stu- dents of this college was ever taken into consideration. “The massive turnout of Augs- burg students at that extravaganza would seem to bear out my attack on their appeal to Augsburg's and probably all college age students. After this total disregard for the wants of the student population, how could a following concert be expected to appeal? “Rather than helping alleviate this p r o bl e m of financial loss caused by a lack of real student representation somewhere in the maze of Augsburg's policy-making hierarchy, those in power have dc- cided to further cut back student services, many of which have been paying back the student and giving him some justification for that 200 per cent increase in general fees. “Those individuals in s t u d e n t government who planned and sup- ported concerts which had no chance of appeal and who gave no special treatment to their fellow students such as in ticket disoounts, do not in my atimation represent the studens of this institution. By cutting many of the effective serv- THE AUGSBURG ECHO ices to the students who. seem to have paid many times over for them. those in power are furthering an unjust policy of not serving the students. “Why should the students be punished for the stupidity of the few? Those responsible for these concerts who never took into ac- count the ideal of serving Augs~ burg’s student population deserved to be punished, and not the student population that has paid too much already." A senior student made eight com- ments in regard to the situation: “1) This is an opportunity to eliminate the Augsburgian, so do so. 2) Responsibility lies with the P r o g r a in Commission, I believe. and specifically with Dahlman and Martinson. They should be removed from student government. In the first place they should have taken the initial losses instead of press- ing on and in the second place why should big Auggie Tech try to pio- neer big name entertainment? That kind of shit has to stop. Program Commission has been wielding a lot of power the last two or three years and should be checked. And why in hell a second entertainment in the first quarter? “3) Perhaps we need to evaluate our position on the paper. Either we should figure out how to make it fiscally sound or drop it. Perhaps this will have to he done this year, or at least, temporarily. Sorry, Darrell. And that goes for P.C. too. ZAP. “4) Where are we securing a loan, how much is it costing us, and are we positive that some of our minor programs and involve- ments can’t be cut besides the three already named”.l 5) Maybe the Stu- dent Council (ha-ha) could rein- state Tod Hanson (who only lost about $1500 last year) to the posi- tion of chairman of P.C., if they (undoubtedly) feel that we need one. “6) Is it possible that student government could leave a kind of comptroller general in charge of the funds every year to insure that such fiascos don’t keep popping up'.’ 7) Are we, I hope not, having a JS prom? Maybe a small dona- tion would help. 8) How much will it cost student government to find professional answers to help them out of their mess?" One of the more penetrating an- swers was the following one from a junior student. “First of all, concerning the cut back of Echo funds: I think this is a tragedy indeed! The paper is a vital communication link on this campus which is separated by the fact that close to half of the stu- dents are commuters. But more im- portant, the Echo is an avenue through which student opinion may be registered. Without this avail- able medium for the exchange of views, the democratic ideals which I hope are important to Augsburg will be lacking. “Augsburg students have been accused of being apathetic. This may or may not be true, but I do believe that through the Echo stu- dents have been confronted with issues and have reacted—note the number of letters to the editor in the past one and one-third years as compared to those Echo issues previous to the 1968-69 school year. I applaud the Echo for providing the opportunity to the Augsburg community to be heard, and I con- sider this function of the Echo vital enough to recommend the proposed cutbacks for the Echo not to be put into effect. “Concerning the Augsburgian, l personally do not get a charge out of looking at page upon page of mug shots—now, that is. I say not now because as soon as I look through my high school yearbooks. mug shots take on new meaning— they are memories which can never be replaced. I definitely do believe senior mugs are a must! Seniors, especially, have spent much time and money to attend Augsburg, and I would consider it a slap in the face were I not represented in the yearbook the year I graduated. What is a large part of the college but the students?! “I do believe that the cut back in the Program Commission was justified—partially, at least. Week- end entertainment hasn't been drawing well so I think it could be eliminated until students demand something. If they don‘t. then no entertainment should be provided. Concerning the loan, I don‘t under- stand the situation fully and there- fore am not qualified to comment." These, then, are the responses which have been received concern- ing the student financial situation. The views expressed are varied, but all seem to agree that it is a shame the mess occurred, and that some- thing similar to the action taken had to be taken. It is now time to present my own views. As one of the parties affect- ed by the budgct cuts council has made all year, I am biased against council to be sure. I think they have used personal difi’erences in the past to justify their actions to themselves, while justifying their actions outwardly with only the best of intentions. Which is to say that I think council is composed of a bunch of two-faced bigots. But my personal feelings that way are unimportant. As much as I dislike this student government this year, it is my representative, I'm stuck with it, and the decisions it makes affect me primarily as an Augsburg student, and only second- arily as an editor. I don't agree with the people on council who say we should quit trying to place the blame. As Mr. Average Auggie, I think that this is quite important so that we can insure that nothing like this ever happens again. I see the blame falling on no one person. Primarily I have to blame Tod Hanson and George Dahlman. They showed poor judgment, their committee should have been larger, they should have consulted their constituency far more than they did, and they should have worked more closely with Ron and Larhac. But I also blame Larhac and Ron for not providing the kind of lead- ership they are capable of—the kind of leadership which has every- body in government pulling togeth- er instead of being out to make a name for themselves. As Hanson himself said at a meeting (and this is paraphrase only because I don't remember the exact words) if con- certs succeed, he claims thc suc- cess, and if they fail George gets the blame. This is showing sh-- for brains; a normal Hanson move, I may venture. Further, though, the blame must be put also on the Student Council which gave two people the power it did. And this leads into a whole second point. There are no checks and balances along the line which can save the s tu den ts if their "leaders" screw up the works. Why should the students sufl’er because they showed poor j u d g m e n t in electing people who don't take their job seriously enough to consider every angle of it. To the Student Council, I can only say wake up and pray that no one starts any recall movements in e fo r e your terms of office are up. In regards to the actions of coun. cil, I think they were hasty. It seems that the facts bear me out here more than anywhere else. Only the day after the bill was passed did the student leaders find out the loan was an impossibility. Pardon me, but you are wasting our time when you have to hold umptcen million special meetings (all two or more hours long) and then come up with answers that Page 5 just dig the Student Society into a deeper hole. .\l_\' huts arc oil' in the people connected with this lonn business—you did a first rntc jol of inspecting tho possibilities of n loan. How can we prevent things like this from happening in tho futuru‘.‘ I have some ideas, nnd they muy hurt some people. I don't cnn‘ any more. For n term I've muzzlcd my big mouth, even against cuulisul from many people uflur ouch of these concert losses. I feel like two cents: I‘ve been u traitor to the student body I'm supposed to ho sorving. Keeping my job after (hut battle last spring was my first goul. Well, I've proved thut I run put out a decent pnpcr. Now it is time to got off my con~ sorvative uss and start helping tin- Student Society sou w h c r e t h v short-comings are on this rumpus. And I'm sad to say thnt the major one I've seen on this campus comes in the area of student govornmcnl. Okay. here are my idcns. Think them over for yourself, and rem-l to them. Remember, sludunt body, you are in the driver's chuir ngnin within n term: candidates will comr- to you for your votes. )lnko every- one fight hurd for yours this time around. First I would draw up u workn» ble constitution. At present we lll't' operating under hy-luws und purl of an old constitution ln‘cuusc of ll half-cocked referendum voted on in 1966, when only 50 people voted. To heck with the idou of u collu» giate charter—draw up n constitu- tion and then try to work into :1 possible charter later. Especially, how about a student bill of rights so that we don't always get the short end? Second, separate publications completely from student HOVCI‘H- ment. Thcrc is no reason that an editor should have to {car rcprisnl from so—cnlled politicians for tnk- ing a stand. I will either prove or disprove this in the coming week. Put the pnpcr, yearbook and dark- room directly uudcr the Trcnsurcr. and have them start setting up their own sclf-pcrpctuuting funds. Reduce the student government. n1- lotment accordingly. Third hold a special meeting to discuss the problems with the con- certs this full. Put Tod Hanson through the some questioning ses- sion Mark Rcifi went through Inst year with the Chicago trip. After all, Mark only spent $900 and was grilled for questionable grounds at best. I think Tod and George as well as others could he questioned for their parts in this whole mess. For examples, the goals of the con- certs, lack of reports by the com- missioner to council, commission- er's books to be examined, and choice of acts to name only a few. Fourth, and finally, I would like to see an amendment to the Con— stitution, or the hy-laws, or what- ever we arc operating pndcr, which would make it impossible for the Student Society President to ap— point any one to a Commission or committee who is also a member of council. There is entirely too much double representation along these lines, and the result can he prejudiced, biased voting. The best interests of the students are not served with three members of Pro- gram Commission on council and another breathing down their necks so hard that they are afraid to shift in their chairs without asking permission. Once again I would like to apol- ogize to my constituency—the vast majority of the Augsburg students, who don't know what is happening because clowns like me never have the guts to tell them. I'll do better in the future, even if it costs me my job. Show less

(continued from page 3) mind t h a t Program Commission has nothing to do with big name entertainment bu t, fo r example, spends money on Sunday movies, entertainment in the Knotty Niche, Noon Time News, special speakers and the monthly activities calendar. “You will notice that 33000 is budgeted for the yearbook in the last budget. It has been found that a more realistic minimum figure would be $6000 to put out anything at all. So an additional $6000 will have to he cut somewhere to put out an Augsburgian. This would mean a virtual standstill of all stu- dent society affairs and functions for the rest of the year. “As far as next year is con- cerned, I believe the next adminis- tration will have to re-evaluate many things, especially the role of big name entertainment. I am not for a drastic overhaul of student government because this would bring up more problems than it would solve; but a re-evaluation of some facets of student government will be necessary to keep what has happened from happening again." A letter was also sent to 75 mem- bers of the student body. Unfortun- ately, only about twenty people re- sponded. The letter written to them and the responses received follow. “Dear Student: “As you may or may not know, the Augsburg Student Society has recently been forced to take action to eliminate a $14,000 loss on Big Name Entertainment which has de- cimated the student budget. As a result, the following things were done: 1) The Echo was cut back $1500 —meaning four less issues this year than usual. 2) The Augsburgian was cu t back $4750, meaning a com- plete change in style and prob- able elimination of all mug shots, including 5 en i o r pic- tures. 3) Program Commission was cut back $3400, meaning less week- end entertainment, art work in the center, recreational activi- ty, and forum and lecture type events like the News at Noon. 4) Plans have been laid to secure a $6000 loan to be repaid with- in two years. “The Echo is featuring student government in the next issue since so many people seem to be inter- ested so suddenly in the things gov- ernment does. You have been se- lected in a random sample to re- spond to the Echo editors consider- ing the above proposal. “What do you think of the ac— tions taken by council? Where does responsibility for the losses lie, and what actions do you think should have been taken? Or do you agree with the actions taken? Since the editors do not have time before fi- nals to see a lot of people and get their individual reactions, this let- ter has been sent to 100 students in the student body, and hopefully you will take the time to write an- swers to this question. Your an- swers don't have to be elaborate— you may sign them if you wish, and if you don't wish to answer them, give the letter to someone else to answer. We are attempting only to bring forth some student opinion on this question." Before printing some of the stu- dents' replies, let me make the fol— lowing statements. First, I gave up the idea of a random sample be- cause I felt I needed to guarantee any kind of response, and so the sample population was picked by browsing t h r o u g h the Auggies, finding people I knew to be out- spoken on many things with as many differing viewpoints as pos- sible; I then sent out 75 rather than 100 letters to the people I chose. While the method is hardly condu- cive to statistical analysis of the student body as a whole, this was never the intent of the editor in asking for participation. The following r e s p o n s e s are placed in no particular order; rath- er than comment upon them, I will let the reader inspect each reply and come to his own conclusions. One of the briefest answers read, “It takes unusual ingenuity to ac- cumulate a $14,000 debt. Three cheers for the Big Name Enter- tainment Committee.” Since not all of the letters are signed, the iden- tities of the authors of all letters will be kept secret also. The letters are retained on file in the editor’s room and will stay there for future reference. Another student's response was simply, “I agree with the cuts that have been taken as long as they are temporary. The Augsburgian cut is one which could be permanent, however. Most important, I think future big name entertainment pro- jects should be much fewer and far between and wiser consideration in who to invite should be used—if this project is continued at all." One senior commented a little more fully: “While the intent of many is to make Tod Hanson the scapegoat of this little fiasco, the majority of the blame must lie with Student Coun- cil. They gave the go-ahead to Tod and George Dahlman. They OK’d the proposed concerts in light of the fact that we almost lost money last year. They thought they could make money on entertainers that appeal to very few at Augsburg. They didn't take time to consider the poor timing of the concerts, sandwiched between heaven knows how many other events going on fall quarter. “Council's whole attitude toward the whole thing is in line with the past two years’ motto, ‘do nothing until pushed. Then do it haphazard- ly.’ Council meetings are never host to quasi - intellectual discussions, but are rather a quick gathering where a few express their personal views, and then the chairman tells them what to do about it and they do it. “Parliamentary procedure is as loosely followed as at a pepfest. The chair feels free to interject opinion from the chair at any time, and neither the parliamentarian nor any council member has the courage to object to being told how they are going to settle any par- ticular problem. “Council members seem to take pride in not feeling responsible to those who elected them. All in all, it's a waste of good typewriter rib~ bon to bother discussing the Augs~ burg Student Council. To eac h member of the council, a thousand lashes with a student constitution, or don’t you know what one of those is?" A sophomore student responded in the following way: 1) “The Echo is necessary as a media to inform the students of just what the stu- dent council is taking away from them." 2) “Jill Steele got the royal shaft. All the work she has put into it already, and now the Augsburg- ian will be nothing but a hard cover comic book. It's a crying shame." 3) “The Program Commission cut sort of shoots the wad this year for weekends on the Augsburg cam- pus." 4) “Since they can’t get the loan, maybe the council should try playing the stock market: Or the horses. Concerts definitely are not the answer, are they?" Another response was, “W h y have big name entertainment at all? The entertainment committee could at least choose groups that the students wanted to see. Maybe we should get a new student gov- ernment. Why should the money we spent for the yearbook, newspaper, entertainment, etc. go to pay for someone else’s m is to k e? It’s a crime! But what else can they do? The debt has to be paid some way.” A junior discussed the responsi- bility of student government to the student body: “I think that the ac- ademic world is Augsburg’s first responsibility to its students. If we are paying tuition to go to classes, why should we be supporting or- ganizations and p r o g r a m s that have nothing to do with the educa- tion we are here for? Why do we have to pay room and board when all our money goes to the same place? “I think that our social life is another major responsibility of our college, but more emphasis should be placed on cheaper entertainment such as Gene Cotton. Gene‘s music was the most enjoyable program I’ve seen; he had a message and got us involved in the program." One frustrated senior r e p 1 i e d simply, “I think the whole mess stinks. However, I have no specific ideas. No one person is really re- sponsible.” Another student discussed the lack of communication with the student body concerning concert names: “The actions are necessary at this time to correct the losses, but at no expense should senior pic- tures be changed. The responsibil- ity must be with the Program Com- mission and if these mistakes are to be corrected in the future, there must be a reference to the student body to check on the before-hand opinion of coming concerts. I’m sure they do ask a limited number of people about their ideas on who to secure for a concert, but I’m sure that careful su r vey of student opinion would have shown that the Paul Revere concert would he a loss." One of the more humorous an- swers was the following show of frustration: “It was practical, but it sucks. Who ever hired those stu- pid bands can pay for them. It is about time Augsburg College gets on the stick and quits wasting mon- ey. They have done this in every- thing—I say no to the budget cuts. And from now on whoever they get, let’s pray that they are good —and not somebody dead.” Another student looked at the situation with a little more serious- ness, commenting, “I feel the debt should be spread out and paid over the years—and not make these few years sufl'er. No one is to blame for the losses—concerts just weren’t selling good this year. There were too many in the cities at one time. I think the spendings should be cut down considerably this year, but not to pay it all ofi‘ this year. The seniors should not have poorer pic- tures, as they are not necessarily to blame." A dominant theme of the answers seems to be the unfairness of the cuts to the student body. As one student put it, “I think the budget cuts by the council are a sad, but necessary situation. The cuts are probably the only way to remedy the problem, but there is really not much excuse for that kind of loss. In the future, the Big Name En- tertainment Committee might do a better job of choosing programs that might appeal more to the col— lege population. It doesn't seem fair to the students that a loss they really had nothing to do with should or must be made up by cut- ting three valuable programs.” One person who does have a pos- ition currently in student govern- ment places the blame for the situ- ation on clumsy leadership by coun- cil and Larhae Grindal. He writes, "I feel no one person can be held responsible for the business loss of $14,000. Any ‘fault’ there is should be directed to the Student Council and especially the executive: the President and vice-president. Tod Hanson made regular reports to the council before any big name en- tertainment last year and this. The council accepted and approved of what he was doing. “The council knew and the execu- tive knew what was going on. Tod Hanson conducted the project in a business manner, taking into con- sideration the chances of such a business venture and communicat- ing the risks to those in authority over him. Mr. Hanson and the Pro- gram Commissioner held nothing back from the council or the exec- utive. “My criticism of this matter is not before the fact, but rather af- ter the fact; that is, the failure of the council and the executive to act promptly and with knowledge in dealing with the problem. The ac- tions of the student administration this year have reflected poor, if any, forethought.” Nine longer answers were re- ceived, and I have saved them for inclusion now. One senior applied a humorous-sarcastic wit to the whole problem when she wrote: - > “I suppose that because I am a graduating senior what I am going to say can no longer be counted as student opinion. Nevertheless, be- cause of the constant inefficiency of the Program Commission, I feel that it is only right, since this whole ball of shit has been my rap for the past two years, that I tell you and whoever else is involved that if you need a new Program Commission head, I am available. For the last two years, our Pro— gram Commission has not only had its head in the toilet, but it has also been licking the bowl. We have been taking second rate talent for so long that we are now accus- tomed to it. “It is my contention that if we take time and money to book top name talent and publicize it, the result would be a clear profit. You haven’t got a profit because you haven‘t got the right persons get- ting the big name entertainment. I hope in the future you can find someone more qualified for the pos- ition which the Program Commis- sion requires." Another senior also responded vehemently: "I have a few initial reactions relating to the information includ- ed in your letter. Let me emphasize that these are initial and developed through no discussion. Therefore, they may be irrational, illogical and debatable, but I think they are de- serving of consideration. First of all, I almost consider the action taken by those responsible for so- liciting entertainment as a personal affront to me as a member of the Augsburg Student Society. “Outward appearances of this action smack of selfish motives. It is truly sad when all of Augsburg must sufier because of these mo— tives. It is a shame to see those in— volved have not the foresight, hind- sight or sight in general to recog- nize the fact that we have ' , come out on the short end of this big name entertainment thing. We can’t even come out even, much less make money. There are too many of these big names making appear- ances around the area for Aug:- burg to profit by entering the com- petition. Therefore, it shows a lack of intelligence to continue trying to make money in this way. "As an Augsburg senior, it has become quite evident to me that Augsburg's campus life, athletic prowess, and academic reputation contain no inherent drawing capa- city for students or funds. Must the results of what appears to be irresponsible action on the part of the committee in charge of big name entertainment create an addi- tional deterring factor in the eyes of prospective students? "If the four points you propose are enacted (I don't know if they have been or not) this will be the case. I am not aware of alterna- tives proposed, but those on the re- verse side of this paper seem to be quite drastic. They jeopardize those aspects of a campus (college!) that we do have. It seems to create an atmosphere that will truly strengthen the apathy that is far too prominent on this campus now. I hope this is of some help to you." Another student responded n 3 follows: “In response to the letter which you sent out this week, I first would like to say that I am glad someone is finally going to let the student body know what has been happening while their eyes were closed. Students at Augsburg have been kept in the dark for entirely too long about what their Student Council has been up to; it is high time, that wallowing-tad. Perhaps their unfortunate mistake was that they assumed that their student government was being up- erated properly. And perhaps their assumption was warranted — after all, wasn’t the big issue in elections last spring that of bringing “The Mark of Excellence” into student government? “Yes, indeed; too much was as- sumed. In the first place, we all as- sumed that the Student Council knew what they were doing—now the tables are turned, though, and we find a Student Council that has succeeded in frittcring away four- teen thousond-plus dollars of the students' money. We all assumed that the council would be financial- ly responsible, not the group of in- experienced and self-unlined 'youths' that they turned out to be. “When we elected the Student Council, we also assumed that they were logical; that is, they had a well-adjusted sense of priorities. Now we find it to be diflerent; we have a council that will consider paneling out eight hundred dollars while they simultaneously consider how to save themselvel from drowning in red ink.

Show moreThe Augsburg Echo Vol. LXXVI Budget Chilled Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota, December 5 1969 Number 5 Fall Deficit Creates “Red Sea" by Darrell Skogen As the winter freeze settles over the Augsburg campus, a similar freeze may well chill the budget of the Augsburg Student S o c i e t y. Losses totaling over $14,000 on the two fall concerts put the Student Society in a Red Sea from which there seems little hope of easy es- cape. Actions were taken to put the budget back in the black, but those actions quickly proved inoperative. How did the Student Society get into its fiscal bind? What has been done to try and get out of it? What will be done to insure no such hap- penings recurring in the future? These are the questions I am at- tempting to answer in this “explan- atory editorial." Before I begin, however, it is necessary to make some important statements of purpose. Too often in the past the intent of the editor of the Echo has been misunderstood by students (especially in govem- ment) too slow to catch the deeper meanings behind what is being said. Thus the following statements are necessary: 1) This article will follow a spe- cific outline and is divided into two major sections. 1. How did the problem develop? A. Budget considerations t his fall. B. Concert problems. C. Proposed solutions. II. Student and editorial opinion. Section one will consist of straight exposition, with no editorial com- ment involved in any way. Sources for information include discussions with Larhae Grindal, Ron Martin- son. my own attendance at council and committee meetings, and dis- cussions with other persons highly interested in the doings of govern- ment. The idea is to present the facts I have gathered as impartial- ly as possible. The second part involves opinions of students, and ultimately my par- ticular ideas. Some may argue that this entire section should be kept separate from the expository seg- ment; I believe that they have to be put together so that the readers will be informed at the same time that they read opinions. The inter- change between the students in dis- cussing the matter can only im- prove a steadily worsening situa- tion. If you wish, read the first section and ignore the comments after- wards. Or, if you wish. read the opinions too. I could care less how people react to what I say; I do care that they react to the facts. Let me remind each member of the Student Society that the Student Council has tight reins over $37,000 of YOUR money: and the reins seem to be getting slacker and slacker as the year progresses. Con- sider that when another election rolls around this spring. 2) The FACTUAL material pre- sented is not meant to condemn any particular person as responsible for the present situation. I have my own ideas concerning this point: those ideas will be placed in their appropriate section. 3) I encourage response to me concerning this whole issue. Stop me in the halls, write me n letter. call me in my office. or floor me with a snowball. But respond. If you fellow members of the student body luck of concern which you have in the past. show that flagrant this sort of thing will keep happen- ing in the future. Help ME put pressure on goi'cmment to make it more responsible to YOU. Remem- ber. I'm supposed to be your voice: if I don't hear you. my voice re- mains just that —my own wcnk. confused, and unhccdc-d voicc. Budget Discussions in Background for Later It is important to explain just how the Student Society gets its money. Each full time student pays a $100 general fee. The Student So- ciety thus receives $25 from each of the full time students through the College Treasurer‘s office. The payments come on a term basis. however; one third of the total is given each term, and the total fig- ure government gets varies with the number of full-time students enrolled from term to term. For example, if there were 10 full time students enrolled in the fall, the allotment would be one third of $250 (10 students times $25). If there were five students the next term, the allotment would be one third of $125. Thus, budget considerations for Student Society must necessarily be a flexible thing. This year's council has worked off a total figure of $37,500. Projec- tions last spring w o u l d h a v e brought a budget of about $42,000, but enrollment was down quite a bit this fall, with a resulting drop in budget projection. THE FOLLOWING budget was passed this fall so that operations could begin. We print it here since so few students have seen a copy of it. The budget was approved September 29, three weeks into the term. SUITABLE FOR eptember Set onetary Woes l. Commissions 1. Community Relations 2. Program 3. Religious Activities 4.

In publications, for example, the total budget figure in the past year (including salar- ies) had been $26,085; this broke down to $11,890 for the Echo, $14,- 195 for the Augsburgian, and noth- ing for the darkroom. The new fig- ures (plus salaries) make a total of $21,860, broken down further to Echo $6200 (counting on $3800 ad: vertising for a total of $10,000, which is a $2000 cut overall or a $6000 cut in Student Society funds allotted to it); Augsburgian $8850 —a $5345 cut; and Darkroom $5810 (including $4760 spent during the summer months for new equipment and film supplies). Had $4800 not been added to buy the new dark- room equipment, the budget cut in evere, Pat Paulsen and First Edition Put Student Society in $14,000-Plus Bind The immediate cause of the fi- nancial troubles student govern- ment finds itself in now is the fail- ure of both the Paul Revere and the Raiders concert and the exceeding- ly unsuccessful Pat Paulsen and the First Edition concert. Loss on the first concert amounted to $4,- 500; on the second one not all the hills were in at press time, but the loss had hit the figure of $9000 plus with a few small bills outstanding. The total estimated loss at the No- vember 17 meeting of council was $14,090. The substantial part of the bills had been received, though, and this figure should remain fairly sta- ble now. It now becomes important to no- tice that no funds are budgeted for big name entertainment. The Stu- dent Society suddenly had $14,000 worth of bills coming in; the fall term payment from the Treasurer‘s office only had a balance of $6500 left, and government had other bills outstanding. For example, the Echo bill with Ken Sorenson Print- ing had remained outstanding through the summer, finally being paid (to the tune of $2700) in 0c- tober, four and one half months overdue. Other bills languished on the desk of the Student Society treasurer Bruce Olson. The outlook was indeed bleak. WHAT HAD happened? Why were the groups chosen to perform that were? Why was so much mon- ey lost? These were big questions. Tod Hanson, as Big Name Enter- tainment Committee C h air in a n (chairing a committee which con- sisted of only himself and George Dnhlman) had ultimate responsibil- ity. In the last meeting of the spring, authority was granted to sign four contracts for the upcom— ing year. Everything was left up to Hanson's discretion, under the general directions provided by the following resolution (passed earli- er in the year): Resolution: Sponsored by George Dahlman BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED THAT THESE SUGGESTIONS BE ADAPTED AS FORMAL STU- DENT SOCIETY PROCEDURES. A. BOOKING 1. Formation of a committee within Program Commission to pick the possibilities for concerts. 2.

C. MONIES FROM THE CONCERTS 1. All profits shall go into a reserve fund established by the Student Society. 2. There shall be double check- ing of profits through books kept by the Student Society Treasurer and the Program Commissioner. 3. In the fall of each year the Program Commissioner shall present a bid for a percent- age of the previous year’s concert profits. This will be based on the total shown af- ter the closing of the previ- ous year’s books. 4. The reserve fund shall be used for general Student So- ciety funds, reinvestment in concerts, and handling of the requested percentage by the Program Commissioner. At any rate, Tod and George be- gan work over the summer. Johnny Rivers was apparently set for Oc- tober 5, until he fired his business manager. Paul Revere was thus a last minute replacement. Apparent- ly Pat Paulsen and the First Edi- tion had been a little more care- fully planned, since the college had committed itself to a concert Octo- ber 31 for the A001 convention. When the time finally came, the convention left the show off its pro- ‘ publications would have been a to- tal of $9025 rather than a final fig- ure of $4225. Program Commission, the second largest user of budget money in student government, absorbed a cut of $1550 from $10,000 to $8450. While I didn't find out exact break- down figures in past years for Pro- gram, 1 did get those for this year. The figures are as follows: Recreation Committee $ 500 Promotion 600 Hospitality 250 Fine Arts 1100 Forum and Lectures 2100 Social 3700 Miscellaneous 200 Total $8450 It should be noted that there is NO allotment for Big Name Enter- tainment. This will be discussed more fully later. gram, because the delegates were 1.33 expected to buy tickets instead of gaining free admittance. In the first week of the school year, though, ‘ (dinning 0 t: 7:. contracts were signed for t h o s e i ‘ first two concerts and for an April one with Glen Yarhrough. Th e fourth date remained open. No significant attempt was made to get student opinion. Hanson re— ported to council that a spring poll had shown a preference for a rock band. Paul Revere and the Raiders were rated fifth in the nation among rock bands; however, the audience which put them there was probably not in the college age group. When L a r h a e questioned whether the concert was aimed at the students or towards making money, a lengthy debate ensued in which Tod claimed that concerts were meant to make money. The by-laws of Program Commission, however, state that “The Big Name Entertainment Committee shall be responsible to provide popular, pro- fessional entertainment for the stu- dents’ enjoyment and cultural en- hancement. PLANS FOR the first concert continued d e s p i t e this disagree- ment. At an early council meeting, Hanson presented a report claiming the projected loss would amount to only $3800, but that it would hope- fully be made up for with some to spare on the Paulsen concert. After the concert, Tod did not give La- ,3? rhae a detailed report because, in her words, he “wanted to deal with both concerts as a whole." Larhae couldn't get any answers out of George or Tod, partially because of her own assumption that if things were going badly she would be in- formed by those working under her. Things might have turned out okay, but a loss on the Paulsen con- cert paled the budget situation. of prime importance here is the fact that during the last few days of selling tickets, Hanson “papered the house” to make a big enough audience to make things look re~ spectable. About 333 complimen- tary tickeas were given out (total- ing $1843 while about 700 people paid $3633 to see the event. The total of 1000 people present hardly filled Melby to its capacity of 3000 plus. Council Makes Bold Move; Loan Attempt Falls Through At the regularly scheduled meet- ing on November 11, the council was presented with a five step pro- posal which stressed a budget cut of $7400, counted on a $3100 profit from the Yarhrough concert, and a short term loan from a non-bank private institution to make up the remainder of the debt. Along with these points was the idea of spon— soring more small cost e v e n t s which would pick up a few dollars here and there. The only action which could be taken was taken after two hours of crying; the proposal was ignored temporarily while a committee was set up to look into the possibilities of an $8000 loan, to report back by the following Monday at a special meeting. In the next breath, the council approved a resolution to go on record as supporting giving the Black Student Union $700. 0N NOVEMBER 17 the special meeting was held. The committee chaired by Mark Francis, reported back a proposal to be discussed. The proposal called for a $3000 cut in Program Commission, a cut of $7600 in the Augsburgian (leaving only $100 for whatever expenses had been incurred), a cut in the International Students Board of $50, a cut in administrative ex- penses of $50, a $40 cut in the sen- ior class allotment, a $250 cut in the salary of the yearbook editor, and a $100 cut in the salary of the associate editor of that book. The total c u t proposed amounted to $11,540. When added to the miscellaneous fund figure of $2625 (the Junior- Senior Prom had been sacked the week before to make that fund per- manent) a total of $14,155 was amassed to ofiset a loss of $14,090. A loan was recommended also, with the amount to be left up to council. (continued on page 3) Show less

Show moreWINTER SPORTS Hockey The team this year has a nucleus of twelve returning lettermen supplemented by a fine group of freshmen, plus two in- dividuals, Mike Anderson who five years ago was an all-conference goalie for Augsburg before a stint with the Navy, and Gregg Nelson, a transfer student from the University of Pennsylvania. Gradua- tion cost the Auggies three all-MIAC players in John Harden, Tom Iverson, and Mark Sateren, last year's tri-captains. Coach Saugestad says We are a bit smaller this year, but will try to make up for this with three balanced lines, three sets of defensemen, and speed. The league as a whole should be up this year, and Concordia, which now has its own indoor ice should be especially improved. Coach Saugestad favors Gusta- vus, St. Mary's, and Augsburg to steal the honors, but recognizes St. Thomas and St. John's as teams to look out for in the conference title race. Augsburg this year will face two outstanding northern college teams. On Dec. 5 and 6 in Port Arthur, 0nt., Cana- da, the team meets Lakehead University, a team which last year defeated national NAIA champs, Bemidji. In January the Auggies host the University of Winnipeg. Wrestling The Auggies will be seeking their third-straight MIAC title this year under the direction of Coach Ron Pfeffer who is in his fourth year at Augsburg. The team will have a hard time equaling last year's 14-1 dual meet record and their 11th place finish in the NAIA tour- nament. The Auggies were also undefeated in conference competition while winning the MIAC tournament, the Carleton-St. Olaf Invitational and the All-Lutheran Championship last season. This will be a rebuilding year for the young Augsburg squad. They lost five lettermen from last year's team including the outstanding Miller twins, Daryl and Dale. Graduation especially hurt the team in the upper weights. Seventeen freshmen will be battling for starting positions this year, and are expected to play key roles in nearly half of the weight classes. Some of the freshmen who are expected to help the Auggies this year include Tim McEwan, Ron Georgeson, Tim Gutzman, Scott Brown and Jim Lewis in the lower weights, while Jeff Erickson, Chris Gates and Mark Mat- tison will battle in the middle weights. In the heavier weights the Auggies will get help from Kim Anderson and Terry Pe- terson. The Auggies will be facing their toughest schedule ever as this year they face such NAIA powers as Morningside, Up- per Iowa and St. Cloud in non-conference action. In the MEAC, St. John's, St. Thomas and Concordia should give Augsburg their toughest competition. In all it will be another exciting year for the wrestlers. Faced with a difficult schedule, hurt by graduation and inexperience, the Auggies may have an up-hill battle. But with the winning tradition and pride that this team has, it shOuld be another winning season. Basketball The key to Augsburg basketball for- tunes this season could well be determin- ed in the backcourt. Coach Ernie Ander- son must replace three starters and will be handicapped by inexperience. Mike Haag, a 6'9" sophomore from Ho- ward Lake, Minn., is the leading candi- date for the center position vacated by graduating Bruce Mestemacher. Haag, one of five returning lettermen, appeared in 20 games for the Auggies last season, but saw little extended action. John Ewert, sophomore from Spring Lake Park, and Bruce Wessman, junior from Cokato, are the only returning starters. Evert, still hobbled by a football injury to his leg, may not play until January when he might see duty at center. The other returning lettermen are forwards Gary Syverson and Dave Lehrke, both sophomores from Willmar who saw lim- ited action last year. Jim Geske, sophomore from Mounds View, returns from last year's squad, but saw little action. He will likely team. with either Gary Ellefson, freshman from Esko, or Brad Olson, fresh from Osseo. Both boys have impressed Coach Anderson in the early practice sessions. 6 O O 7 Show less

Jeroy Carlson Director of Alumni Relations WHERE ARE WE? 0n the second floor of Memorial Hall, above the desk of the alumni direc— tor, there is a large world map made by the international students on the Augs- burg campus. Ribbons stretch from Minneapolis to show where our students have come from to the doors of the college. Other ribbons show where our stu- dents have gone to make Augsburg's influ- ence felt in the world. Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, Central America and Canada feel the outreach of our students and graduates as they per- form their work. Where does a man gain pride? How can he serve? How can he give of himself for others?. We are in the concern business; we are in the love business. That is, we love people the world over. This is why we have been in this business for 100 years. What was is not forgotten; what is must be improved; what is to be must be supported. Where are we? Everywhere. And we are only beginning Century II. WHAT'S IN STORE FOR '70? Students need to be contacted through alumni as well as the church be— cause recruitment is getting very compet- itive. If the alumni and church do not help in this way, we may have difficulty reaching our projected number of fresh- men. Won't you help? Financial aid, a perennial problem for many in all classes, needs your sup- port in order for students to receive as much assistance as they need before funds run out. The college not only lacks the funds to assure each student the amount of money he needs, but monies run out be- fore all students are accommodated. Our church support does not increase from year to year as might be expected. Therefore, the dollars contributed by the church do not reach the demands of rising costs, and we must seek designated gifts for Augsburg from church members. Our alumni who are church members are encour- aged to give directly to the support of the college in addition to pledges to their congregations. Better communication is needed be- tween alumni and city captains, state chairmen and class representatives to help the 21-member board of directors of the Alumni Association contact all alumni and prepare an improved program for you. Attention classes of 1920, '25, '30, '35, '40, '45, '50, '55, '60, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69 and '70: it is time to be- gin thinking about what you may wish to do in connection with your reunion get— together at homecoming on Saturday, Octo- ber 24, 1970.

Those who did contribute are urged to continue giving; those who did not are encouraged to start to do so in 1970. We believe that a realistic goal is $125,000. Won't you please help?

Our alumni activity program provided more events for alumni this year, and the alumni attendance was greater. And, of course, Centennial programs did much to add special functions for our 100th anni— versary. We had more applicants for attending 3* Augsburg than ever before and more re- iy cruiting was done by alumni. A second us look shows us that we have more alumni r; children attending Augsburg than ever be- x’ fore, a fact which reflects faith in the college. Class representatives (45 in all) have taken on the responsibility of cre- ating better communication with fellow classmates. I was thrilled by the let- ters written prior to homecoming to you, and I feel that the response to these pi letters was reflected in the largest at- If: tendance we have ever had. ‘a\ State chairmen also provided special impetus to our year. They were instru- mental in attaining the goal of $105,000 in alumni giving, and without their spec- ial help we would have fallen short of our goal.

Show morePage 4 Trail Only Johns, Huskies THE AUGSBURG ECHO Thursday, November 6 Harriers Finish 3rd in District NAIA Meef by Terry Blue Augsburg's cross country squad cupped a most successful season this past Saturday by taking third place with 78 points in the District NAIA meet held on the five mile course at Como Park. As expected, MIAC champ St. John's captured the team title with 34 points, but not without a spirited battle from runner-up St. Cloud State (52). The shining star once again for the Auggies was sophomore Jerry Beckman, who placed sixth. Coach Howie Pearson praised Beckman's performance, saying, “He ran a tough race every meet this fall— but this was his best If he keeps improving the way he has these past two seasons, he will be the best distance runner we've ever hall at Augsburg. TEAM (‘AI’TAIN Torn Brandt ran a fine race in finishing twelfth despite being nagged by a back in- jury over half of the course. “Tom has been a steady performer for us throughout his entire collegiate career. Without h is tremendous leadership we never could have come as far as we did." Also singled out for praise was someone who spent most of the season in shadows publicity-wise, senior Rick Johnson who placed twenty-third. “Rick has done a re- markable job for us, especially when you consider the fact that his forte is middle distance rather than / _‘ —Phoio by Huber TOM BRANDT runs uphill ahead of a Winona runner in the Dis- lrici l3 NAIA cross country meel. long distance running." Howie Pearson was also pleased by the steady improvement made by soph Tim Peterson throughout the season “Tim finished twentieth in the District 13 meet and it will be nice to have him coming back next fall. “GARY WILDE will also be back next year, and he has the most na- tural potential of all our returning men. He did a good job, taking twenty-second as a freshman, and I'm sure he will continue to im- prove next season." In summing up his team's per- formance this fall, Pearson made quite clear just how proud he is of his charges. “The entire team im- proved a great deal since last year. We lost only one conference dual meet and that was to the best team ever to run in our conference — St. John’s. It's no disgrace losing to a team that may well win the na- tional title. We are still hoping to get the opportunity to run in the NAIA national meet on the 22nd." Ma’rmen, Icemen Eye B ig Years; Young Cagers Should Improve Now that football season is over, the winter sports squads are busily preparing for a hectic term. The outlook for wrestling and hockey is good, as usual, and the basket- ball team also looks forward to an improved year.

True reality lies in the combina- tion of dream and reality of the physical world. ROBERT ZELLER, a f o rm e r faculty member and graduate of Augsburg College, has much the same views as those of the surreal- istic philosophy stated above. Zel- ler feels that a person should live for the present because the moment in itself is electric. Time and space is inherently meaningful and life is beautiful. What exactly is the philosophy of a true hippie? According to Zel- ler a hippie wishes to intensify life and change the relation of society in a nonviolent way. He is not es- caping because he has an obligation to reshape society, before it self? (lestructs. Society should resolve its problems before its pressures cause a war. Drugs have a significant relation in helping a person to experience true reality, the r ea 1 i ty of the mind. Drugs come from nature, and nature itself is part of time and space, therefore each drug has its own unique reality. ZELLER FEELS strongly about justice in America.

The legislature and judicial departments of our country are far from pure. T h r o u g h sensitivity training of the whole population, changes for the better could be wrought. Zeller produces underground movies that tend to attack the ills of society, such as the berserkness of some cops and the hypocrisy on the behalf of some Christians who have no love for minority or dis— senting groups. He feels that the rural areas of America tend to be more prejudiced than the urban ci- ties because the pressures of big cities are “squashing” them. Zeller also believes in the youth of today, especially the true hippies in America. He says that “hippies are the prophetic voices of the beautiful race to come." third straight conference title are Tom Howe, Ron Johnson, Pat Mar- cy, Bill Hickman and Larry Stew- art. The hockey team, coached by Ed Saugestad, lost some 5 t r e n g t h through graduation, but Terry Holmes, Mick Thorstenson, Al De- Wolf, Bruce Murray and Corky Hall all return this year. In addi— tion, Saugestad has some tough frosh, like Bill Lundgren, who are planned on to help a great deal. The Auggies should give Gustavus and St. Mary's another rough bat- tle for honors this year. The basketball team is young this year, with only seven letter- men returning. Mike Haag is ex- pected to start at center, while John Ewert should also see a lot of action at forward. Randy John- son, Dave Lehrke, Gary Syverson and Bruce Wessman all play for- ward, and the competition will be rough for the starting position. The other returning letter-man is Dick Kelly, who has returned to Augs- burg this fall after a spell in the service. Once again the buckets team has a lot of freshmen backing it up. With no seniors on the roster and only three juniors, the Auggies may be too young to win consis- tently this year. They will, how- ever, present tough opposition for every team in the league. Puckmen Face Alums in First Ice by Mike anrs For most Auggie sports fans the premiere chance to see the hockey squad in action will be December 12 at 8:30 p.m. at the Metropolitan Ice Center in the annual Varsity- Alumni battle. The alumni will feature such greats as four time all-MIAC per- former Jerry Peterson, 1968 co- captains Jefi' Elavsky and Lynn Gunderson, and the 1969 tri-cap- tains John Harden, Tom Iverson and Mark Sateren—all of whom Were all-conference players. Spearheading the varsity will be 1970 captain Terry Holmes. Holmes will be backed up by all-MIAC player Corky Hall, along with goal- ie Curt Johnson, Mick Thorstenson, and Al DeWolf. This n u c l e u s backed by many other proven vet- Bafl'le erans and a group of blue-chip freshmen make the hockey outlook this year evry promising. Harden says that this game will pit a “young and inspired varsity against an experienced and star~ filled alumni."

During the past seven weeks, five students ma- joring in English have been serving as members of the faculty of the department, attending all the de- partment meetings and presenting proposals for improving the Eng- lish curriculum. The five students, elected by their fellow English majors, are by Tom Hart Imagine all the problems we’ll see as the world adjusts itself to normal moon travel. With each Apollo mission, we come closer and closer to the day vacationers forsake the warm California sun for lunar dust and purple rocks. Game shows will give moon trips as prizes and Acapulco will be- come a farm community. In five years we'll be listening to the radio and hearing: “This is T. Maximilian Murphy and Donny O’Donahue of all reuest KLEM radio and we‘re on the air talking to Mr. Desmond Foster of Minneapolis with our Wonder Word Jackpot. “Good evening, Mr. Foster, this is T. Maximilian Murphy and if you can tell me what this hour's wonder word is, you’ll win for you and your wife a splendid, all-expense paid two week vacation on the dark side of the moon. “No, I’m sorry, Mr. Foster. That’s not our wonder word and that‘s not a very nice thing to say. But keep listening to all request KLEM and maybe you'll be called again with another Wonder Word Jackpot." Click. To find out first-hand how popular this craze had become, I went to the Twin Cities International Airport and was surprised to see very few spacesuited men and women in waiting lines. The lady at the flight insurance counter was waiting for business so I gave her some about the moon and was surprised to hear that moon in» surance is fairly cheap. If you travel on an authorized chartered flight, you can purchase a 50,000 dollar policy (air and land) for under thirty» five dollars. However, a land and air policy leaves a lot of questionable territory between here and the moon. But they have a little time to work that out at the front office. I strolled the concourses to get the experienced traveler‘s opinion of the moon as a possible vacation spot. Most of them thought the idea was crazy and I got crazy looks for asking. One gentleman carrying two suit- cases, ski boots and skis said he was having troubles enough getting from New York to Montana. The most popular reason people gave for not wanting to go to the moon was that they were too old. One twenty-year-old girl in the process of becoming a stewardess thought she was too old. An older lady found her reason in the Bible and quoted the book as saying: “Going to the moon is screwy.” Conrad Hilton is going to have to do a lot of developing and fast selling to get me on a ship to the moon. I’ve got some friends he could have in the morning, but I can’t see where women would look quite as nice in a two piece space suit. It‘ll take years for science and industry to develop even a small environment resembling a suitable living situa- tion for men. It’s still just cheese to me. THE AUGSBURG EC-HO Mary Alice Long, Don Smith. Chuck Maland, Sue Scott and John Engman. The first two students are seniors, while the last three arc juniors. THE IDEA OF adding majors to the staff popped up last spring, when the department found itself getting bogged down with the eter» nal question—do students approve of the changes or proposals which the department presents? The ob— vious answer was to include some students on the staff. The mechanics of doing this were worked out early this fall. Ballot— ing was completed several months ago, and the only restriction as far as voting was concerned was that at least two seniors were to he in— cluded among the five representa- tives. The students involved are con- sidered members of the staff, not as advisors only. They serve as rep- rescntativcs of the more than 100 English majors in the faculty mect— ings. As Maland said, “This makes other students feel more involved with the department, and makes for better communications." SUE AGREED with Maland, saying that “you start thinking I‘n go 3 Photo by Brine" DON SMITH, JOHN ENGMAN, Sue ScoII, Mary Long and Chuck Mo- land discuss a proposal to be presented to the facully members of the English department. you have some power to change things." This was evidenced immo- dintcly, as the fivc students had presented a proposal to frcc sonic crcdits for English majors, who nt present have few electives because of the number of required litera» turo, writing and langungc study courses they have to take. The fuc- ulty members of the department accepted parts of the proposal, and soon a proposal will be sent to the Educntionnl l’olicics Committoc for npprovnl.
