The field is open to all qualifying students who care to involve them- selves to more intense platitudes without impairing their role in struc- tured life and their convalescent, sagarianistically oriented viewpoints. The position was announced through- )ut the entire upper midwest area in church bulletins. At the filing deadline only two men had filed. the estimual encumbent Thomas V. Hart and the incopetomous independent Jim Grossman. As is customary in political races, the Honorable Thomas Hart and the challenger, Jim Grossman (former National TCC Chairman) debated each other on the main campaign issues contained in their two platforms. The Honorable Thomas Hart, following the lead of other incumbents, chose to stand on his record, Gross- man introduced what is referred to as his Platform-8. The great debate took place in the depths of the secular l i l a l [1 city of Augsburg Room on the small campus of Augsburg J. C. . The ap- pointed time was 7:30. Hart arrived at 7:15 with his immediate staff, the Macalester debate team and the swim- ming coach from Hamline, who was helping the incumbent with his breath- ing. The photographers and sound men had been setting up since 6:30 and now were ready. Hart had taken his position at the table and was waiting, and still breathing. Mrs. Doloris Standsby, the mediator, was standing ever alert at the speaker's podium adorned with an official AFL striped officials jersey and whistle. A half hour later, Grossman arriv- ed and breathlessly greeted the oposi- tion with the universal cry of brother- hood and companionship: EE-AW- KEE! An embarrassed Donovan Lundeen stood up and rushed out followed by a group of 30 high school seniors who were being introduced 10 the Augsburg . that exists only in the minds of admi- ssions officers, college yearbooks and other non-existing entities.

Show morePage Nine 3TENSI-IOEL VICTIM OF MUDSLINGING by Grant Larson In the February 20th runoff election to fill two new seats on the Minnetonka City Council created by the adoption of a new city charter, Dr. Myles Sten- shoel, chairman of Augsburg'a De— partment of Political Science, was decisively defeated. The two new councilmen elected are: Al Michals, an attorney, and Fred Han— us. Mr John Borden, an assistant trea- surer and secretary at General Mills, who ran first in the primary election, came in third. Stenshoel polled some hundred votes less than Borden. Voter turnout was relatively light. When asked what his reaction to the election results was, Stenshoel said, "Not being elected will mean less pres- sure on me, but I feel sorry for the C ity of Minnetonka and the council. The results will tend to polarize the council and make it harder to find a city manager willing to operate in a difficult political situation. " Dr. tenshoel feels strongly that he and Borden were victimized by a malicious whispering campaign and a last-minute political advertising effort which, according to Stenshoel, "made use of out-and-out falsehoods and the rawest kind of guilt by associations. " Stenshoel believes that as a result, many people""voted their fears" with little regard for what the candidates actually stood for. This extensive and expen— sive advertising campaign was launch— ed so close to the election date that there was no time for rebuttal. Sten- shoel indicated that the substantial financial support the opposition need- ed for this venture was provided by the building concerns presently located outside the community. Although he feels the campaign tactics used against him were unethical and illegal, Stenshoel says he has no intention of initiating a libel suit. How- ever, he and Borden have asked the county attorney to investigate whether or not fair campaign practices were violated. Even though Dr. Stenshoel sincerely feels he could gave made a meaning- fur contribution to Minnetonka City government, he isn't about to let de- feat stiflehis sense of humor. Look- ing back on the election, he leans back in his chair, puffs his pipe and cracks, "I tell my neighbors and friends in Minnetonka that I take a Christ-like attitude towards defeat,' Weep not for me, but for yourselves and your child— ren.

Perhaps more commi- ttees should have included students; perhaps there should have been more students in each group. This is eas- ier to say in retrospect, however, than than it was to accomplish as the study act uallydeveloped. There might be some question, too, about the adequacy of student contributuions. You seem— ed to feel frustrated by the rapid pro- gress of the task force and by how hard it was to gear in and become a working member of the group. I would suppose that others, for exam- ple, a first year teacher, would have felt much the same way. In spite of your feelings, however, you were not the victim of tokenism. Our Blackbrothers and sisters have been victims of this , but not you and 1. Students did participate in all phases and in most key committees on the blueprint. Under difficult circum- stances these students have made val- uable contributions as consultants and as communication links. This has been neither tokenism in sharing res- ponsibility, nor in the significance of the resluts. As chairman of the Steering Com- mittee for the final phase of the study, let me thank you, Wayne, and other students--especially LaRhae Grindal-- for your help and your concern in co- operative efforts such as these Aca- demic Blueprint.

Show morePROF REAUS TD To Wayne &ieva and others: The concern which you expresses in the February 11 issue of the WHIS- PER about student representatives in the recent Academic Blueprint study is commendable, but it is unfortunately based an incomplete information. Your charge of "tokenism" is too dramatic and a factual basis is lacking for your discontent. If there is to be a good relationship between students, admin- istration and faculty, each of these groups must earnestly seek the facts, freely exchange information and views, and willingly cooperate with one an— other. With this in mind I respond to your letter. One possible misconception with regard to the Academic Blueprint re— lates to the nature of the study, It was not designed to be a faculty-student project, but a faculty study of institu— tional goals and priorities From the very beginning. however, it was a— greed that "the study will be carried on in consultation with students and alum— ni to determine their views. . . . "(1966 guidelines). Students, alugnni, regents and administration, therefore, acted as consultants for the faculty. The study could not have been done without this kind of help. Students acted as consultants in all three of the major phases of the study. In the first phase, carried out by sub— committees of the Faculty Senate in -1967-53, Subcommittee B (Recruit- Page Three SNEVA LETTER merit and Admissions) included John Newhouse and Lois Wolff; Subcommi— ttee C (Faculty Development) included John-Mark Stensvaag; Subcommittee F (Curriculum Development) included Larry Glean; Subcommittee I (Student Life) included Diane Follingstad, John Hubbling, Julie Krei and Richard Seime. The subcommittees on presuppositions, relations with other institutions, com— munity relations, academic resources and buildings did not include students. In the second place, the five member [/11 Committee appointed by the Pres- ident included one faculty member and one Student, Richard Seime. In the last phase three of the six task force chairmen invited students to be con— sultants. Invited to work with "Pre- ' suppositions" were Peter Agre, Gordon Ditmanson, LaRhae Grindal, Richard Seime; with "Academic Programs" were Byron Knatterud, John Reitz, Larry Glenn and yourself; with faculty and Staff Development" were Bradley Refsland, Don Smith, Marsha Leslie, Darrell Skogen. If the names of any students who worked on the blueprint have been 0- mitted, I apologize. Changes were sometimes made and people were in— vited at different times, so that our lists may not be complete. I would appreciate knowing about any such 0- missions, so that our records can be improved. Continued On Page Four

Show moreory beture one receives no hint as to what he was thinking before he said it. He often studied the audience like an actor trying to decide how to deliver a certain line in order to get a desired response. At one very dramatic point in his lecture, Gregory said, "At five years old, I knew the pusher, the pimp and the prostitute. At eight, I had seen the pusher, the pimp and the pros- titute turn all their tricks for the po- liceman. How are we supposed to rev— spect policemen when they let people like that run free in our communities ?" At this point there was an empathetic shout of "thank you" from a young wo— man in the audience who identified strongly with Gregory's childhood ex— perience. From my vantage point, I could see that Gregory was pleased at this reaponse and it gave him an added incentive to continue his explora- tions of the Black neighborhood. Many people agree that the only inconsistency in his lecture came at the end when he said, "If you liked this talk, I have an album entitled the Light and Dark Side of Dick Gree— gory. Please don't call me or write me. Just go to the record store and buy it. " Here he deviates from his image of the man who is larger than life, who needs only distilled water to exist. Here is where we realize that even Dick Gregory is a capitalist to the extent that we all need capital to live. Perhaps this contradiction in character serves as a reminder that Gregory is human and not super human, which is a comforting thought. ,\-..,.. , Page Eleven AUGS The Auggie Cagers topped off at winning week with a 106—76 victory over Hamline last Saturday night.

Show moremadman by Syl Jones Dick Gregory, nationally famous comedian and philosopher appeared on the Augsburg College Campus Wednes— day night, January 21 to lecture on the problems facing young peOple today. Mr. Gregory was very well received by the audience of about 800 students, mostly Black, who seemed to feel that a prophet had arisen in their midst. ' Gregory has a very sound econom- ic theory of life. He spoke to the young crowd like an old Greek sage would have spoken to a group of young Athen— ian Scholars. He told them that in the end, what "it all comes down to is sur- vival" and there is no way anyone can argue with this. He Spoke of boycot— ting the barber industry and record industry suggesting that these are the most concrete and direct ways to end the Vietnam War. "Pretty soon the re cord industry will send lobbyists to Washington and that war will be over in no time. " Though it may sound like an oversimplification of a very complex issue, Gregory is right. If Washington can perceive that the war is in any way detrimental to the econ- omy, as well as dissatisfactory to various members of the establishment like barbers and record producers, then the war is liker to come to an abrupt, if not absurdly quick end. Gregory is not an intellectual Speaker. He appeals to the animal- i cus groups to identify and tackle Hall will pilot in 20l2-2013 gen- istic instincts of his audience and therefore his message is a universal one. Who would not feel pain and bitterness at the very thought of 40 million human beings going to bed hungry every night? Gregory still fully manipulated his facts to fit the mood of the situation and his own elusive mood, the mark of an excel- lent speaker. He was able to jolt the . audience out of their intellectualism and dip them into a sea of real emo- tion. "The damn pilgrims killed, murdered and maimed their way a— cross the country to California. The idea contained within this sentence is usually expressed another way: "The pioneers fought bravely to survive a- gainst the red man." The text-book- ishness of this sentence does not sug- gest the genuine reality of the situation Gregory, however, pulled no punches. His reality was stark, cold and human. The motif of the speech was "Am— erica has run out of tricks. "Gregory explained it by saying, "it used to be that any time we wanted to do some- thing we could just do it and think no-- thing of it. But that day is past. Am»- erica, the world is hip to your tricks . "Vietnam is a trick and so is the draft.

'0 Executive Council members now includes President, Vice—President, Treasurer, and 5 commissioners. (Treasurer was not a member before. ) It also is now more like a Cabinet where the President can get suggest- tlons for the programs and reactions about ideas. Every President needs this kind of advisory help and coordin— ation of the programs for the year. 5) Sections describing the job of the Secretary and Treasurer have been added. 0 Judicial Council includes 5 students instead of 3 and so there need be no change in the faculty constitution; Page Nine also that a chairman be appointed at a meeting during fall term. '1) The quorum needed at a Student Society meeting was changed to 15% of the Student Society (instead of a sim— j)le majority). 9) The faculty approval of the student constitution was ommitted.

Show morell Page Eight NEW CONSTlTuTlON AM) BiLLOF RIGHTS; WWW by LaRhae Grindal Two of the most important areas of student government interest this year have been needed additions to the pres- ent constitution and also the beginning 3f work on all Collegiate Charters. toth of these have come a long way since this fall. The need for a new constitution has been felt since two years ago when Jim Nye's administration worked almost totally on a new constitution which was not approved by faculty. The reason for faculty disapproval was the change in by—laws required in the faculty con— stitution as a result of the changes in the student constitution. Out of this conflict as well the desire for a more realistic document of governance for he whole college, the Student- Faculty Council began discussing the idea of a charter las t year which would solve ,he problem of two constitutions and at the same time abolish the controls of faculty over the constitution which seemed unrealistic. Finally at its last meeting, the council moved that a charter commission be appointed out of the President's office and be funded in order to research and take surveys for a more effective job. As the first accomplishment to— ward this goal of a chater, the Stu— dent—Faculty Council approved the cus groups to identify and tackle 3th Hall will pub: in 2012-2013 gen- der neutral apartments thro Wit RE "Joint Stallment on Rights and Free— doms of Students" which is the most accepted statement of rights of stuv—r dents. In this document is included the following freedoms: freedom of access to higher education in the class— .room, policies on student needs, stu- dent affairs, (freedom of association, inquiry expression, participation in institutional government, student publications) off-campus freedoms of students, procedural standards in disciplinary proceedings, and enforce— ment. In this last section it is advis— ‘ ed that the schools set up machinery for continuing joint interpretation of the policies and procedures recommend— ed in the statement. In an effort to do just this the Student—Faculty Council moved to hold an open hearing on the statement of rights and freedoms on Wednesday, January 28 at 9:35 a.m. in the Commons so the students and faculty might have a discussion about the document. Many of the freedoms stated in the document form a good bas— is for all future thinking about the Charter. Since we have realized that this Chartered Commission will have much work and time ahead of them,the other need in Student Government is for a constitution that has in it more checks and also basic changes in structure.

A Brass Quartet composed of Linda Anderson, trombone; Daryl Jackson, French horn; Betty MacKay, and Greg Withers, trumpet; will play "Ricercar" by Gabrielle. This humi- ber is based on the renaissance cus— tom of transferring vocal music into instrumental. Overtrrc arf‘ Y‘ava‘sc from "Gunn- laug" will complete the orchestra's performance. The composer of this number, Mr. Robert Karlen, was in- spired by the Icelandic epic "Gunn— laug the Serpent-tongued. " Mr. Kar— len was commissioned :0 write a piece for the celebration of Augsburg's Centennial and chose this saga as a basis on which to biiild his creation. The piece focuses on a love-triangle that is destroyed through greed and desire for personal gain. The stren~ gth and vigor which prevail in the opening of the music finally gives way to resignation and despair.

My date and I put on our best Monday—go—to—forma1—dinner out— fits and stomped off to join the rest of the would be banquet buffs. The number one etiquette rule was impressed upon us early: one must never, under any circumstances, sit at the same table with one's date. As we entered the dining hall, we were each pounced on by a hostess and hustled off to different corners of the room where we could sit and wave our buns at each other throughout the en— tire five course meal. Miss Martinson began the ordeal by easing everyone's uneasiness. When announced that she really didn't expect much from us as even a former Urness Tower Head Resident didn't learn how to hold a knife until after she graduated from college. Every— one breathed a sigh of relief and began eating; each one going about it in his own unmannered style.

It seems not all Augsburg students know that when one eats soup one is to tilt the bowl in a southeasterly direction. Much to the dismay of Miss Martinson and her associates, this resulted in soup bowls being tilted in every conceiv— able direction. Utter chaos. The rest of the meal went okay if you overlook everything being cold. And that really couldn't be helped as it took a while to decide which of the many forks I was going to use for my pork chop, and which I would attack the potato with. To further educate us, the most illustrious members of the Augsburg staff were on hand to give out a few of their highly coveted secrets to better eating habits. Mark Johnson, the suave, debonair Augsburg admission's czar, demonstrated, as only he can, the fine art of shoving corn around his plate and onto his fork with his roll.

On January 20, Stenshoel was one of the four candidates to survive the primary election, polling the second highest number of votes. Two coun— cilmen will be elected in the run~off election. The special election was called to comply with the recently approved charter which enlarged the council and turned the former village of Min— netonka into an official city. A coun- oil—manager type of governement was adopted. Dr. Stenshoel feels that Minnetonka is entering a very criti- cal period in its developement.

Stenshoel also has expressed his op— . inion that Minnetonka must cooperate with other suburban and inner—city communities to meet common prob— lems. Dr. Stenshoel’s career has com— bined politics and theology. Before coming to Augsburg, he was a parish pastor for some years and then taught at Augustana College in South Dakota. in 1988, he ran for the Minnesota House with DFL endorsement in a heavily Republican district, losing after a close race. Stenshoel doesn't feel that the add— ed responsibilities that would result from winning the up—coming election would interfere with his duties at Aug— sburg. In fact, he thinks the two roles would be complementary and that the experiences he would be gaining could be beneficial. ._ ,. H J. it t I

No. In Urness Tower. Lately many yelps of pain and groans of discomfort have been heard emanating from the confines of the Tower. The water cooler, of which there are two on each floor, is the sole lifesaver of some 300 girls re- siding there. I happen to be an occu- ‘ pant of that infamous building, and I hereby wish to make known publicly the trials which we face every hour. l As the ﬂoors are completely car— l peted, everything we touch is a poten-~ tial shock producer. Now I ask you, I put this question before you, - How safe is it to have so many volts a day passing through each young woman's body? Might this not cause some 1 lasting damage which as yet cannot be determined because of the limits of our scientific knowledge? To further my point on another aSpect of this same problem, ask any girl in the dorm if she has a nasal complication, and 5 out of 10 will answer yes, and go on in detail about the lack of hum- idity in their rooms. I know a girl who is attempting to beat this problem by filling a jug with water, hoping it will evaporate. My roomate and I prefer to use the greater serface area method. In other words. water dis- tributed among a dozen cups, and ‘Since rel ‘dard is sponsoring a writing competi- Page Three placed on the heater. In this manner. water tends to evaporate at a much greater rate. However, one problem this presents is that one cannot look out the window without upsetting the cups. This is, though a relatively minor inconvenience because the rug is so dry, the water dries on it im— mediately. Many times I have con— sidered watering the carpet. Every morning I start the day out with a terribly dried up nose. I'm surprised it hasn't shriveled yet. And I'm beginning to wonder whether I should wash my face. If I do, it looks like I'm catching dandruff in the wrong place. This malady is by no means peculiar to myself. All girls in this desert suffer it. What is most strange to me is why the more radical of the students haven't risen up in revolt long before. But please, now is the time, before all that is left of the girls in Urness Tower is a pile of flakes. Mar aret BerEh WIN MONHll!

Once again the Ibos are a national group stuck in a country that doesn't concern them. For all the years of fighting, the peop? e of Biafra have nothing more than they had before except increased alienation towards the victor. It'll be hard for the people of Biaf— ra to stride arm in arm with their countrymen knowing that in the past they had tried to subdue them by starv- ing the women and children. It'll be hard too for Biafra to appreciate Nig— eria after their soldiers have looted Biafran villages and raped Blair-an women. We had a civil war in America and the results were "freedom" for the slaves and an increase in the price of cotton. Nigeria's relief efforts too are not working or are working very well de- pending on whether you're Biafran or Nigerian. Nigeria refused at first to receive aid or "blood money" from countries who during the war tried to keep starving people alive. Nigerian's didn't use their heads when they got themselves into the war and if they had continued their efforts for One more year there wouldn't have been any rebel Biafrans left to worry about. T.
