Show moreLorraine Livingston, retiring Eng. proﬁ, questions retirement age By HOLLY GROTEN Staff Writer “I think mandatory retirement at any age is wrong.” says Lorraine Livingston, English professor, who is retiring after 18 years at Augsburg. Professor Livingston, who has taught every English class offered at Augsburg at one time or another, is unhappy with SOS basis making student help a success. Iverson feels that they are a dependable and efficient staff. To fill up the gaps in the volunteer schedule, paid reception- ists under the supervision of Millie Nelson work at the desk. SOS was originally set up in 1973 by Al Bachman as a class project. In its first year of operation SOS was located in the back ofﬁce. As well as giving standard information it served as a speakers bureau and a place to sell tickets for campus events. The switch from having SOS located in the back office to moving it out to the front reception desk has made SOS more available to students. Iverson feels that students are making use of the services offered at SOS. However 95% of the questions asked are telephone numbers, bus schedules, directions, and the time. "SOS is a workable part of the student government commission." said Iverson. Iverson added that she has had no hassles with student government and that Eric Spore and Arlene Shorts have been very supportive of the project. The budget for SOS this year was $100. Some of this was used for publicity in the fall. A part of this money is also used for buying supplies which are available for student use. Paper can be purchased at the desk for a small fee. Kris felt that she had an ample budget to work with. Kris said that her main goal for the year was making SOS more visible to the students and getting them acquainted with all the services offered. Overall Kris feels that most students take advantage of SOS and the services it offers. She likes to emphasize that there is lots of information. including community events. So next time you have a question lat SOS answer it! April 21, 1978 the retirement forced upon her by Augsburg. “Mandatory retirement is an anachronism in the 20th century,” she said. Although President Carter has signed the bill raising the national retirement age to 70, Professor Livingston ﬁnds herself exempt from this law. One exception to the law is that college and university professors with tenure will continue to be subject to mandatory retirement at 65 until July, 1982. According to Livingston, older professors are retired to give recent Ph.D graduates job openings. “The thinking of the college has been to retire their older college professors earlier and earlier," she said. "Now the college will have to reverse all that so the college policy will be in line with the national policy. “The college should make haste to revise its retirement policy. But this leaves unanswered the question of what will happen to new people who want to come into college teaching. I don't have an answer to that," stated Livingston. Professor Livingston, who was born in Minneapolis and raised in Anoka. received her B.A. and M.A. from the University of Minnesota, with additional graduate work there in the English field. The oldest of Professor Livingston's two daughters is a librarian. but will take a year off to work on writing a novel. Her younger daughter is associate professor of law at DePaul University in Chicago. In addition to teaching English classes, Professor Livingston is also advisor to Augsburg's literary magazine. Murphy Square. Through many re~ visions. Livingston believes “it has become better and better every year." Professor Livingston observes that once a professor retires, he/she is quickly forgotten. “They no longer seem part of the community," she said. “It would be nice if the college would occasionally invite retired professors back to resume their role in the college community, even if it was just for one term, or a summer school session, or an interim," she said. She explained that some people are simply not ready to retire. "I think one reason that supports this is chronological age has nothing to do with biological age. Many people remain healthy. productive, and creative even into their eighties and nineties." she said. Next year Professor Livingston plans to write a book. She is hesitant, however. to disclose its contents. Even though she will not be an active faculty member, she will continue to be concerned with the Augsburg community. Auggie Chess Team draws a draw By DAVE BACKMAN The Augsburg chess team scored a mild upset by tying the first-place Kelly's Commandos 2-2 in Twin City Chess League action on April 4. The Commandos were previously unbeaten and untied. Winning for the Auggies were first-board Joe Wallack. who trounced Barbara Peskin (the state women's chess champ). and Fred Buckland. who crushed Steve Coddon. Third-board Peter Martignacco lost a close contest to Mike Brown, while Gene Kelly waltzed over Augsburg's Dave Backman. The tie evened the Auggie's record at 2-2-2 going into their final match of the year on May 2. C.S.D. seeks transfer advisors The Center for Student Development will hire three Transfer Advisors and one Transfer Coordinator for the 1978-79 school year. The responsibilities will include acquainting new transfer students with the Augsburg community, promoting informed academic planning, and facilitation integration into campus life.

Compensation will be between $75.00 to $100.00. Former transfer students are urged to apply. A job description and application form are available in C.S.D. Deadline for application is Apr. 28. 1978. Habitat Society sponsors week examining urban 'l'he Habitat Society is sponsoring a Habitat Week from April 2428 at Augsburg College. The society is sponsoring the events to create and maintain an awareness of our surrounding human habitat and issues associated with it." says Kendra Bonderud, Society member. The week is patterned partially after the idea of the United Nations Habitat Conference held in Vancouver. BC. in June of 1976. At that gathering, repre- sentatives from several nations met to discuss the world-wide phenomenon of urbanization. Creative alternatives and solutions to the many problems associated with an urbanizing world were discussed. The Habitat Society extends an invitation to both the academic and metropolitan communities to join with them in sharing and learning about our Habitat. Opportunities for participation will begin with a look at the global level, and focus through the week to issues of metropolitan, community and Augsburg importance. Faculty members are encouraged to share these events with students as part of classes. The society also encourages the larger community to learn with us and share suggestions for future events. Following is a list of activities planned for the week. More specific times and places will be posted later. Several films not listed here will also be a part of the Habitat Week. Monday.

Show moreBernhard Christensen College Center Leland B. Sateren Music Building Of the 13 buildings on Augsburg's campus, only a handful are named after anyone. Perhaps this is due to the historic problem Augsburg has had in finding large donors. Augsburg has never had a Skoglund or an O’Shaughnessy to name several structures after. Or perhaps this is due to the pietistic heritage of the Lutheran Free Church, which would have rebelled against such an earthly reward as having a building named after oneself. Whatever the cause, we think the tradition should end. And we humbly propose for the President and the Board of Regents, as well as to the rest of the Augsburg community, what we think would be some good names for a pair of Augsburg buildings. We think the new Music building should be named the Leland B. Sateren Music Building, and the College Center be renamed the Bernhard Christensen College Center. Currently, rumor has it that the new Music Building won't be named until someone comes up with a half million dollar donation. The size of a donation should have very little to do with the naming of this new building. We think, in fact, that money should be irrelevant to the building’s name. The vast body of Augsburg's alumni is not capable of giving the sort of money necessary. But should this exclude them from the process of naming the building? We think not. We believe that if the body of the Augsburg community were polled, they would come up with two names—Bemhard Christensen, and Leland B. Sateren. Ever since its construction in the mid 1960's the College Center has been cursed with a rather bloodless and empty name. How many colleges around the country have a “College Center?" Probably hundreds. Why not give this Center a name which separates it from the rest. a name which has meaning to Augsburg? The best name for this task is Bernhard Christensen. From the mid thirties to the early sixties Dr. Christensen guided this College, reforming its scope, and giving it a modern perspective and respected reputation. Christensen is a highly revered figure in the history of this school, and has brought Augsburg much distinction. As a scholar, pastor, administrator, educator, and devotional writer, Christensen has been a tireless and joyful servant of both Augsburg and the church. What could possibly be more fitting than naming the new Music Building after Leland Sateren? Dr. Sateren has given so much to this College. Year after year he produces one of the finest college choirs in the nation; he has composed large amounts of choral works which have enriched choirs and congregations internationally; he has done more for music at this College than any other man; and he is widely respected and loved by his students. To name the Music Building after him would be a fitting honor for his great service to the College and the church. lfyou agree with us, and we have strong suspicions that most of you do. sign the Student Senate petition, write letters to President Oscar Anderson and to every member of the Board of Regents. A college-wide petition signing and letter writing action might just impress the Regents to actuallv name these buildings after these two very deserving men. No honorary doctorates For those who read this week's story on the debate over Honorary Doctorates. the arguments on both sides should be clear enough. The issue is, to say the least, a touchy one. On the whole, the faculty as a whole seem opposed to the policy change, and have been for some time. Yet the President and the Board of Regents persist in proposing a change. After a while you'd think the Board would catch on that the faculty does not want the College giving out Honorary Doctorates. 4 Despite Dr. Sateren's fairly good arguments. we think that Honorary Doctorates are wrong. They simply do not have academic integrity. and are open to so much abuse. There are numerous ways of honoring deserving people without resorting to giving out a degree which the College does not offer as a part of its normal academic procedure. Also, we are disturbed that the Regents have not included a "no money as reward" provision. When the faculty votes on this issue we urge them to vote against Honorary Doctorates. And may we also add that the writing of the story on the whole problem would have been a lot easier for all concerned if the Echo were allowed to attend faculty meetings instead get word about what’s going on in there after the fact. letters Oh yeah! To the Editor: This letter is in response to last week's impassioned plea for more criticism of the Echo. Has it ever occurred to you that the Echo is such a fine newspaper that it is above criticism? Unfortunately. this is not the case. l would like to know why you left a rather large blank space on page four of last week's Echo rather than print an item of significance, such as the story on the Augsburg Chess Team's hard-fought draw against their league-leading rivals. (There! I got it in anyway!) I grant that this item was not the Story of the Century. but it would have been far more interesting that a blank space (at least, I think it would . . .) Why don't you leave a few more blank spaces in each Echo so that you. Kathy, and Emilie can write all the articles? Of course, you should leave enough room for the wom-out “Timmy” joke, the liquor ads. the omnipotent President Anderson‘s Plymouth ads, and two (or more) reviews of the same play. Also. I suggest that the Echo purchase an inexpensive pocket calculator. which is very handy for adding up class sections, faculty and administration personnel. etc. Actually, Mr. Editor, the Echo is probably the finest newspaper published by any private four year college in Minneapolis. Keep up the good work. Dave Backman Left out To tl e Editor: Dave, last week you gave us two altematives—write a letter. or join the Echo staff. Fine. [agreed with you until I discovered that the article I had submitted for publication in the same issue was not printed. A group of 10—15 students and faculty spent lots of time planning a Habitat Week for the end of April. We have many speakers, films, and events scheduled. As we wrote in the unpublished article, “this is an attempt to create and maintain an awareness of issues in our surrounding urban habitat." As one of the people involved in bringing up these issues to the Augsburg community, I was not content to sit and moan about the problems here. That's the easy way out. But when I tried to publicize issues being discussed that affect our own campus. I didn't like running into dead ends of not being able to get an article into the student newspaper. I want the Echo to be the voice of students. So when you receive articles about important issues and events on campus. think about priorities and publish them. We are aware of problems but remember that some of us are trying to do something about them. Kendra Bonderud Editor's note: The aforesaid article is in this week's Echo. It has been Echo's policy for some time to do publicity for week-long events on the issue which comes out the Friday before the upcoming week. This policy is not based on whim. it is based on a knowledge that publicity for week-long events works better at this College if it comes out a few days before the events. This leaves the information fresh in the mind of the reader, instead of allowing the reader a week's time to forget the whole business. We apologize if this policy was not clear to you. It's Ray Scott, Herb Carneal, and Halsey Hall By DAVID RAE’I‘HER One of my favorite books is The Summer Game by Roger Angel]. It is a oolleaion of essays on base-bah that Angel] wrote for The New Yorker magazine over a period of about ten years. The book is. in my opinion. the best book ever written on baseball.

Show moreOrganizations’ budget requests due Any student organization wishing to receive some sort of financial support from Student Government must have a formal request to Student Society President Kevin Bonderud by Friday, September 29. (Requests should be placed in the Student Government Office in the College Center, or in Bonderud's P.O.) Requests should include an as detailed as possible explanation of need for such funding. Any organization that is not officially recognized should see Student Society Vice President Lynn Schmidtke soon to seek Senate recognition prior to making a request. Following receipt of the requests President Bonderud will make a recom- mendation to the Senate Budget Screen- ing Committee, made up of the class presidents, the Treasurer, and an incumbent representative, that will meet prior to October 8. Along with the Presi- dent’s recommendation, the Budget Screening Committee's report will be given to the Student Senate on the October 10 meeting where final approval takes place. The actual budgeting process for 1978-1979 student society funds began last spring with preliminary approval being granted to funds for the various student government sponsored corn- missions on April 26. Actual budgeting for all groups begins in the fall now with final approval being granted after exact total budget figures are known. This is dependent on final official F.T.E. figures and the surplus left over from the previous years budget has been determined. Any questions or needs for further in- formation should be directed to President Kevin Bonderud or Senate members. CedarRiverside - - - - a cultural hotbed By KATHY YAKAL Associate Editor Let me begin by apologizing in advance to those people who are already aware of everything that I'm going to say here. To those of you who have lived in this delightful neighborhood for awhile and already know about all that it has to offer, I suggest that you skip this little article. But‘to new students—read on. And to those who still complain that there's nothing to do around here unless you have a car and you have to go out to Bloomington or Brooklyn Center to see a movie or get anything decent to eat—to you I say—admit it. You’re wrong. Or you're too picky. You couldn't get closer to a cultural hotbed in this city than you are right here. Besides our own numerous col- lege musical and the.:‘.rical produc- tions, you have the Cedar Theater right down near the corner of Cedar and Riverside that won’t show hot-out-of- the-lab first-run feature films but will show some more carefully selected and thought-provoking productions for a little over two bucks. As for live theater. there are the Washington and off-Washington pro- ductions at Guthrie Two, Theater In The Round, Dudley Riggs, and the Mixed Blood Theater, all within a few blocks of the Augsburg campus. Off-off Washing- ton theaters like Dudley Riggs Brave New Workshop and The Guthrie are easily within access by bus. Rarig Center, containing three of the University's theaters. lies just a few blocks down 2lst Avenue toward the river. Speaking of the University— there's another great source of entertainment. both planned and unplanned. Coffman Union shows different films every weekend for a 4 reasonable price, as does the Bell Museum. There’s no reason for the Echo to compete with the Reader in providing a calendar listing productions at all of these fine places. The Reader, which comes out every Friday and is available in the Student Center, contains a weekly listing of music, art, dance, film, theater, and other special events. If it‘s your stomach, not your head, that needs feeding—what more could you want? Your basic restaurants, like Perkins and Mr. Steak, lie just a few blocks to the east up Riverside. For the more adventurous, there's Oscar B. Lykes, Mama Rosa’s, Breakfast at Mama’s, Pumpernick’s Deli, The Haberdashery, Annie’s Parlour, Edna’s ——all near the corner of Cedar and Riverside and within the budget of any half-hearted chowhound. And if you don‘t mind placing your own order and busing your own dishes and paying a little less, there is the Seward Cafe, located just across the freeway on Franklin, and the New Riverside Cafe. These vegetarian cafes obtain much of their food from two of the best places in the area to buy groceries: North Country Co—op, at 22nd and Riverside, and Seward Co—op, across from the cafe. You don’t have to go out to Super Valu or Applebaum's to get fresh fruits and vegetables, cheeses, nuts, eggs, even cookies and other treats. These co-operative food stores exist for "people, not profits." All this is not to suggest that there's no need to venture off the Augsburg campus for the next four years, or however long your stay turns out to be. To the contrary. Cedar-Riverside is only a minute part of an exciting and accessible metropolis. And staying on campus for a long time can be hazardous to your health. Small campus in a big city—why not appreciate the best of both worlds? FACES Move over, Phyllis George—Emilie Nystuen is after your job. Emilie, who is starting her second year as the Echo's sports editor, was born in Golden Valley but has “ . . . kind of lived all over.” She still prefers big city life to less-than- booming metropolises like Grand Marais and Odi‘n. two of her former homes. Like so many other Auggies, Emilie came to Augsburg because it was a family tradition. She had two years of training as an X-ray technician when she came here in 1976. Her intention was to build on that background in preparation for a pre-med degree, but has since decided to aim for a career in journalism. Her study toward an English degree here was instrumental in that decision, along with her work for the Echo and her avid interest in athletics. “I'm a sports fiend,” Emilie confesses. ' “But,” she continues, “I’m a klutz." That malady doesn't prevent her from enjoying racquetball, soccer, and football, to name a few. Some of Emilie's other interests include needlework, going to plays and movies, and reading. Although American literature is her favorite, she appreciates work by other authors. “I like distorting Shakespeare” she admits. “I would like to have known 01' wild Bill." Regarding the women's sports scene at Augsburg, Emilie regrets that “ . . . there aren’t more women involved—the same ones do everything, like in so many school activities. It’s really tough to get coverage when there are so many more men than women in sports. It's an uphill battle." Emilie plans to graduate next spring and find employment somewhere—hopefully in the Twin Cities—as a sports commentator or writer.

Show more‘First the presence, then the absence’ Once again the gears of the Augsburg College machine have been coaxed to grind into high after a sleepy summer. And like every other year it is not the same Augsburg that some of us left last spring. Perhaps the saddest and most startling evidence of this fact was the deaths of two beloved members of the Augsburg community: Marilyn Petersen, who served long and diligently in teacher placement and as secretary to the associate dean at Augsburg, and Douglas Ollila, professor of religion at Augsburg for over a decade. Dr. Phil Quanbeck, in his chapel address last Monday, asked us to remember “first the presence, then the absence,” of these fine friends. Just as their deaths gave us occasion to remember them, said Dr. Quanbeck, so also did they remind us of the brevity and impermanence of everything we do. Other, less tragic occurrences remind us that time has passed. The music building, though not quite finished, is much nearer to completion than when we left it last May. Several new faces appear at the desks and in the offices of faculty and staff. The ramp next to Si Melby is closer to being ready for use by the disabled. And of course, several hundred newcomers—freshmen, transfers, and special students—are eager to see what surprises and drudgery, disappointments and affirmations that their experience here will provide. To them we express a warm welcome and hope that they can find something of what they are looking for here. And to the returning members of the Augsburg community, the deaths of Marilyn and Doug, along with the physical changes that the campus has undergone, should be a reminder to us of the constant cycle of life. The sadness and deep sense of loss that we feel can serve as a challenge to us to “take life seriously,” to quote Quanbeck one more time, “and be the people we can be.” Animal House saga Events of last week at Augsburg appear strikingly similar to those in National Lampoon's Animal House. We find threats of “official probation” for hosting two house parties not only premature but unrealistic as well. Is the administration trying to enforce a stricter campus alcohol policy than is mentioned when recruiting students? Or is a threat of official probation on the second school day just a way for someone to ﬂex a little bureaucratic muscle? Or maybe this action is not a coordinated effort on behalf of administrators but merely another bungling by the infamous housing office. How about it? An official response would be in order. When Loons are silent, the World is lost For Douglas Ollila [1932-1978], Professor of Religion Doug, you were preoccupied with loons chased by men in motorboats, and cans bobbing in the wake. You perceived the mystery of breathing again and yet we are still here where you left us wondering about ourselves. I doubt you were amazed by your own jokes, the one about the saint who came to inhibit the snakes and drove them away from Finland. If a miracle really occurred, was it coiled in the dark improbabilities of your eyes when you finally turned them aside? Forgive me if I remember the deer neither of us killed. I think it must have been the first snow and you had the good sense to leave me alone, assigned to a log. If you needed to talk, was I afraid your laughter would crack the icicles on the trees? But I heard nothing when you disappeared. For the first time in my life, unable to shoot at a white hare, I got lost in the underbrush.

Show moreSoccer team settles for tie By EMILIE NYSTUEN Sports Editor In their season opener last Saturday against Concordia-ST. Paul the Auggies completely dominated the game in every category—except the score. The game resulted in a 3-3 tie. Assistant coach Jim Agre was surprised at the outcome but conceeded that Concordia was able to take advantage of momentary defensive lapses. He also stated, “Just the fact that Concordia had 16 goal kicks is a pretty good indication of the kind of pressure the Auggies were putting on them. " And the Auggies did put on a lot of pressure! Outshooting Concordia by about five times, they took 47 shots—19 of them directly on goal. Scoring for Augsburg were Jerry Jackson with one goal and Bill Garner with two. Captain Don Potter said, “It was a good chance for us to put a lot of people on the field and try to play together as a team." Tomorrow the Auggies will play their first home game and host Bethel College. Game time is at 10 a.m. at the Snelling field with the bus leaving Augsburg by 9:30 am. Bethel finished fifth in the conference last year and it was only their second year in the M.I.A.C. The Auggies defeated them 5-0 the first time they played them last year but an injury filled team then lost to them 1-0 in the last game of the season. . . . but gridders lose Football coach Al Kloppen listens to advice on the headphones during the River Falls game. The Auggies jumped out to an early 13 point lead but were defeated 28-13. Mark Moksnes keeps stats on the sidelines. Senior Auggie QB may not play Mark Moksnes. a 1975 graduate of Robbinsdale High, may have to contribute his mental rather than physical skills to the Auggie football team this year. Moksnes may be sidelined his senior year with an injury to his right ankle. It is the same ankle that he dislocated during a football game his freshman year. This time, however. the injury resulted after an appliance fell on it while he was at work. Moksnes reinjured the cartilage and ligaments and was naturally very dis- appointed when his doctor told him that 6 it would just be too dangerous for him to continue playing and risk another injury to the weakened ankle. But before he writes off his football career entirely, Moksnes will seek a second opinion from the famed Dr. O'Phalen. Presently however, Moksnes is assisting Coach Kloppen in working with the other quarterbacks and wide re- ceivers. “At least this way I can still be involved and a part of the team," he said.

Cabaret — 10 years of song and dance By ESTIE BROUWER Arts Editor If you're the kind of person who likes to sing, dance and kick up your heels once in a while, you'll want to be at the Old Main Chapel this coming Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. That's the time director Karla Wiese has set for El: ditions for the 1978-79 Cabaret Singera. For those readers who aren‘t acquainted with Cabaret, this entirely student run vocal organization performs popular. easy listening music, with the added touch of choreography. Cabaret was organized in the fall of 1968 by Jim Lindstrom, a senior at that time. The group performed its first show that Christmas. Since then, Cabaret has annually presented a Christmas show and a spring show at Augsburg, has performed in churches, and at conventions, benefits. banquets and places of entertainment throughtout the area. Karla Wiese, director of this year’s group, is a senior majoring in music education and music performance. S'ie, with the help of Jack Raaen. served as choreographer for Cabaret last year and will continue in that position this year. This will be Karla's third year as a member of the group. In addition to having taken Dr. Sateren's conducting course here at Augsburg and having worked with youth choirs, Karla is directing a senior high choir in Richﬁeld this semester as her student teaching experience. She has \ . . (music drowns him out) also taken several dance classes and been a member of dance lines throughout her school years. If experience and enthusiasm are any indication, Karla should make a top—notch director for Cabaret. Karla would like this year's group to consist of 16 singers, piano. drums and bass. Dave Cherwien will again very competently man the keyboards, but the positions of drummer and bass player are still open. Contact Karla is you’re interested or know someone who might According to Karla, the Cabaret Singers will spend approximately four hours a week rehearsing. The group will rehearse one and a half hours each of two nights a week (preferably Sunday and Tuesday evenings) and will have a one hour sectional at some other convenient time during the week. If you'd like to try out for Cabaret. be at the Old Main Chapel at 6:30 sharp Tuesday, Sept. 19. Be prepared to sing a number that you've chosen and worked up on your own, (an accompanist will be provided if you need one). sight read music that Cabaret ha done in the past. and learn a few easy dance steps (wear something that you can move in easily). Auditions should be finished by about 10:00 and you'll know the results the next day. If you're interested in auditioning but just can't make it Tuesday evening, he sure to contact Karla and she'll do her best to work something out for you. {air/iv: Heir/Jar: Headstone: Iowa formers they're not Reviewed By TERRY RINDAL Who says that Iowa is nothing more than miles upon miles of endless corn fields with a misplaced city somewhere in between? Those who encroached on the confines of Mortenson parking lot last Friday know of a breed of music born on the prairie that defies our. expectations of the stereotyped rural sound. The music of The Headstone Band was extremely diverse when contrasted to the strains of bluegrass and country music normally associated with having their roots in Iowa's fertile soil. The Cabooze Bar temporarily shed its image of the Twin Cities premier blues bar last spring and spotlighted an up and coming group who present pop and country-ﬂavored tunes adapted to their own rock-n-roll format. Headstone Band proved to be very popular with the audience despite the fact most seemed to have come to hear an alternate form of entertainment. Headstone is a four piece band which comes at you from all the angles, whether it's the driving rhythms of drummer Turk Krause and bassist Bill Larsen, or the melodic riffings of guitarists Jeff Petersen and John Thompson. Mike Wolf is their latest addition on key boards and came directly from none other than the Daisy Dillman Band. Lead singer John Thompson kept the crowd alive with some superb vocaliza- tions as well as some well executed fingerwork on his Ibeny double-necked, 18 string guitar. Thompson has been the only cohesive member of Headstone since they were formed eight years ago. News Briefs . . . Elections for the Housing Committee, a student advisory organization to Director of Housing Linda Schrempp, will be held on Friday, Sept. 22. All in- terested resident students should sign a statement of candidacy form, available at the 5.0.5. Desk in the College Center, and return it to the Student Government Office by 6:00 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 20 in order to appear on the ballot. The following ofﬁces are open for election: Three Urness Tower representatives. Three Mortensen Tower representa- tives. Two Annex House representatives. One Memorial Hall representative One West Hall representative. One Student Senate representaive. Any questions call: Ext. 311 or Ext. 312. He also played with Judd, another well known Twin Cities band, before the formation of Headstone. He separated from them because of musical differences. Thompson explained, “We were headed in different musical directions, I wanted to Rock-n-Roll, but they just wanted to space." Thompson said he learned his style by listening to the mistakes and high points of Top Forty Radio, but also likes punk since, “It is a new inﬂuence in otherwise stagnant Rock-n-Roll." Headstone provided the Augsburg crowd with “total energy pop" versions of Lynard Skynards “You Got the Right," and “What's Your Name?" Popular rock stars such as Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and Bob Dylan were also featured. Guitarist Jeff Petersen was responsi- ble for writing and playing the beautiful lyric melody of an original song called Sorita—in the Jeff Beck tradition. Originals to look for by this band are "What We‘re Home For" and “Don't Care About Money." Petersen himself is a truly gifted performer. He admits that his 14 years on the road have had a wearing effect on him, but shrugs it off in the words of yogi Paramahnsa Yoganada who said, “Life is great if you consider the inelictable quiddity of it all." Overall, Headstone is a very enjoyable and entertaining group for both the discerning listener or avid dancer. Headstone figures to be around awhile, so if faced with a dilemma of which group to treat your senses to on an upcoming weekend, don't overlook this group—Iowa's finest! -------~A'.

Complaints similar to this one from several Augsburg students about hassles with the phone company this year prompted the Echo to investigate. According to John Innes. district manager of Northwestern Bell. policy requires that if a customer asks for the Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota cheapest service possible, that's what they are given—with no sales pitch for anything further. Innes apologized when he heard that students had been subjected to the unnecessary fervor of at least one of his service representatives. Further, he asked for the names and phone numbers of students who were affected As he explained. each sales call is recorded; because of this. he will be able to check back to the calls in question and make a judgement regarding the performance of the representative. Echo questioned Mr. Innes as to whether the salespersons were on commission, and that perhaps hopes of big bucks motivated the overzealous telephone company employees, Innes said that no, they weren't. The Echo informed Mr. Innes that a formal complaint was not being issued. merely that an investigation was in order due to so many similar complaints. However. if a person does want to make a formal complaint to the —Slall phalo by Jeff Dame/owski telephone company or any other large corporation. or educational institution. the following suggestions. obtained by the Echo from the customer relations department of a Minneapolis business. may improve the chances of having the complaint resolved. First. think it through. If you're really mad. write out your gripes. put your writing away and come back in a day or so after you've cooled off. The more thought that goes into your written complaint. the more likely it will be taken seriously. At some stage in the process. a written complaint will probably be necessary. as state regulatory agencies have varying requirements for different corporations. So you may as well put it in writing right away—type it if you can, Second. make sure you supply all the information that you think they will need. Your answer will come back a lot faster if the person handling your complaint doesn't have to dig. (For instance. if you ordered a phone and got hassled, give them your phone number. date ordered. name of representative if you remember. etc.l Third. tell them what you expect. and be very specific about why you're g'riping. If you want a new product, tell them. You may not get it but it gives the company more to work with and more alternatives. Fourth. be firm. You're the one purchasing the service. so you should have a say in how it is set up. Don't make threats right away, like saying that you're going to bring them to the Better Business Bureau. Give them the chance to improve their service. Most companies want to satisfy their customers. Sure. every company wants to sell as much of its services and products to as many people as it can. That profit motive often leads to overly aggressive sales talks and unsatisfactory service. But the consumer isn't helpless. Some fair but firm diplomatic action can bring positive results.

Show moreBad study habits ---see Don Warren By MAUREEN COOPER A familiar and important office to many Augsburg students is the Center for Student Development (CSD). Not only do the staff and counselors offer scholastic guidance and problem- probing programs. but they are willing to really listen, too. A new addition to this group of people is Don Warren, Director of Academic Enrichment. Warren, who was born in New Jersey, came to Minnesota as an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota. Although he entered with thoughts of majoring in pre—medicine, his interest in word structure and language caused him to switch his major to English. He received his undergraduate degree there, and then taught reading and vocabulary skills, courses in writing, the humani- ties, and courses in film (which Warren says he is “very interested in") at the University’s General College. He is now completing his doctorate at the University, and lives in New Hope with his wife, Janice, and their two sons, Jeff and Chris. As Director of Academic Enrichment, his main duties are concerned with running the Reading and Study Skills Program and the Tutorial Program at CSD. According to Warren, he would like to see the Reading and Study Skills Program expanded, so that it would offer more help to a wider realm of students who are facing skills problems. He went on to say that he hopes that CSD will earn the reputation of being a place where students can go if they want to talk to someone about any kind of problem they might be facing, and feel comfortable about it in a non-threatening environment. He feels this kind of attitude will be easy to achieve mainly Don Warren, Director of Academic Enrichment. —S!aiipho!o by Eric Kanlen because the staff at CSD is unique in the sense that it is “such a warm and sensitive group of people, who are really dedicated to helping the student. " One concern of his is to be able to have more workshops so that the students can air their problems. The two workshops he is running this semester, “Born to Win: How To Be A More Effective Student And Love It,” which deals with study skills, test reviewing and taking, and the relationship between studying and attitudes; and “The Male in Academia," which deals with what it means to be a male in college, are both examples of the kinds of workshops Warren is interested in continuing. He is also interested in developing a workshop dealing with role-playing between men and women at college'.’ During interim. he will be incorporating this topic with his interest in film, in the course, “The Reel Hero: Male and Female Roles In American Film." which he will be co-instructing. Dance to the music of “Sterling” tomorrow night in the Commons. Admission $1.00 — free with a Homecoming button. \ October 27, 1978 Continued from page 1 fund-raising by the Augsburg faculty— turned that around. Construction resumed once more. Hans Urseth, professor of theology and literature at Augsburg from 1898 until he became clean in 1907, described New Main in 1902: “The architecture is uniformly classic, leaving on the mind that impression of simplicity and harmony which characterizes especially purely Greek architecture." This “simplicity of architecture” did not extend to the more mundane facilities. As Chrislock’s history reports, “At this same time, modern plumbing was installed and outhouses removed. These were the last changes to be made until Memorial Hall was built in the 1930's." Even into the 1940‘s Old Main was the center of student activity. Not only did it house classrooms and the chapel, but student p.o. boxes, the bookstore {which Chrislock describes as similar to a newspaper kiosk lstandM the science labs, the library, and the gymnasium. The boiler room of the New Main was a social center for a certain group of students and faculty. In the days when Gustner Nelson was the chief engineer down there, all cigarette smoking was limited to the boiler room. The strict bans on smoking were initiated by students, says Chrislock, “because so many of the older fellows (faculty! smoked." One floor above the sanctuary for smokers was another kind of sanctuary— the college chapel—where required daily services were held. As described by Urseth. “The chapel with its large Roman windows, its high vaulted ceiling, its pews, and its classic ornamentations impress us as a college chapel should." Besides attending chapel services daily in the New Main, some residents of North Hall trudged to the stately structure regularly for another purpose: to take showers. North Hall had none. So it seems that the New Main served a great number of purposes. Even so, there was wasted space—the attic. “Anyone who ever finds his way into the attic," said Urseth, “will undoubtedly regret that so much space should be unoccupied. " The Main has never been an imposing structure on the landscape of south Minneapolis. The Echo of September- October 1907 “ . . . reported that several new students recently had been two or three blocks from school without finding anyone who could direct them to campus," reports Fjord to Freeway. The Death of Old Main? tunnel system is planned for the sidewalk level on the west side of the campus that will create new entrances to Old Main, Science Hall and the College Center. A ramp will be installed to go up from the sidewalk to the quad level. The library and Memorial Hall both need ramps for the handicapped. Elevators are needed in Memorial and Science Hall. Handicapped toilet facilities are planned for the College Center. All this, said Fosse, has been a part of the college's mission since 1974-75. “I come at it with a concern for meeting program needs on a broad basis," Fosse said, “We ought to take into consideration the requests of drama. science, the library and be responsive to their needs." “The value of the building is largely in Old Main -- a center of ‘student activity’ But the New Main remained the heart of campus activity—both academic and social—until the original Old Main was razed in the late 1940's and a new science hall/library was built. Suddenly, the New Main became Old Main. Today, Old Main is the only building left which links the campus to the pre-WWI period. Chapel services have been moved to Si Melby Hall. That sanctuary in Old Main has housed “both the tragic and triumphant events in the school's history" as Chrislock describes. Two former presidents, the Sverdrups, both lay in state there after their unexpected deaths in 1937 and 1970. These days, classes meet and choral groups rehearse there. The bookstore is no longer a tiny kiosk. And the boiler room is no longer a social center—people can smoke almost anywhere on campus now. No one runs from one building to another to take a shower. And people don‘t sneak by room 18 in Old Main like it was “the holy of holies," as one alumnus put it—the seminary students don't live there anymore. The problem of unused space in the attic of Old Main has never been solved. A few things are still stored there— para- phernalia not needed for immediate use by Augsburg, but which represents years of memories. An intricately carved. rich wooden pulpit sits undusted in a corner. A set of wooden parallel bars sits in another. Two crutches lie in separate corners, reminiscent of the days when Augsburg had its own health service. In the center of the attic is a heavy steel file cabinet containing an English teacher's old files of Homer, The Scarlet Letter, and other topics. Boxes of seemingly unused prisms and telescope lenses purchased and never used line one whole set of shelves. And everywhere are piles of dirty mattresses, ancient bedsprings, chairs, shelves, and tables used and cast off when newer furniture came. These pieces of evidence that time has passed may not be around much longer. A decision will be made soon about what to do with “Old Main 11:" raze or renovate. Either way, a significant portion of our past will be lost. And Carl Chrislock, for one, says he will be heartbroken if they tear it down. “I wonder if they would consider razing Westminster Abbey because it wasn’t heat efficient." (‘onlinucd from page I terms of its sentiment and heritage," said Fosse, “It is not quote “a fine building" in the same way the Butler Square Building downtown, for example, is a fine building." Fosse explained that Old Main is really a frame building, much like the structure of a house, with the bricks built around the frame. “Personally. that building has a lot of memories in it. My father taught here from 1922-1942, and I would come over here on Saturdays and start messing around and getting into stuff in his office," Fosse said, “But I don't say, ‘By God, we've got to save that thing!’ as others may do." “We can't get hung up and focus on one thing and forget about others," Fosse said. “With that, I don't have much room left for sentiment."

Show moreSwitchboard decision on hold By HOLLY GROTEN News Editor “The much hated and reviled switchboard is finally on its way out," claimed the ECHO last April. A new Centrex phone sytem was about to be installed, the paper reported. Long distance calls could be placed without going through the switchboard! Connect with any other phone on campus by simply dialing four digits! Call any campus ofﬁce or residence without having to wait for the switchboard to answer the call and connect you! Such were the advantages of the new phone system. But instead of seeing a brand-new, shiny, computerized ma- chine in Umess lobby, the same 12~year-old switchboard is still there. “We talked a lot about Centrex last year, and at that time I thought it was the best system for Augsburg," said Wayne Pederson, Acting Vice-President of Finance. “But now it appears as though there are other systems besides Centrex that will do many of the same things at a lesser cost," he said. Right now Pederson is still exploring the many different types of phone systems, taking into account their kinds of communication forms and styles, as well as types of equipment and their reliability. Pederson is also making arrangements with the phone company to do a study on telephone usage at Augsburg. Only one other study of this kind has been done, and that was at an Eastern school. But Linda Matthys, switchboard supervisor, doesn't expect to see a new phone stystem installed at Augsburg for a long time. “When I started working here this July, they had said the new system would be installed by the time school starts. Then after a few weeks, they said it would be set up in November and installed during Christmas vacation. Now it looks like it might not be installed until Christmas vacation next year, at least," she said. In the meantime, three outgoing and three incoming trunk lines will be added “to temporarily alleviate some problems of access in and out," said Pederson. “During some periods of time, the lines are so busy now that incoming and outgoing calls can't get through," he explained. Each new line will cost about $50 a month. Matthys feels these new phone lines are needed. “Every single call coming into campus has to go through the switchboard," she said. At present, the switchboard has the capacity to handle seven outside and 14 incoming lines. The new lines will take care of at least three additional incoming calls. Sometimes the switchboard becomes so busy that two calls come in on the same line at the same time. “When that happens I have to ask one of them to hang up, so usually they both hang up, because they didn't know which one of them I was talking to," explained Matthys. “Other times all the outside lines may be in use, so I have to place people who are waiting to make long distance calls on hold," she said. Matthys points out the need for a new switchboard. “Some people get really irritated when they have to wait for the switchboard to answer their calls. One guy counts how many rings it takes for me to answer. Another guy once said, ‘Boy, you girls sure run a poor ship,‘ and I answered, ‘What girls? There's only one of me here!" she said. It may take some time and money to find the right phone stystem for Augsburg. As Matthys explained, “This system is 12-years-old, and they'll need a new system that will have to last at least that long." But the only new piece of equipment installed so far this year is a shiny grey receiver for the operator. A new switchboard seems a distant reality. Guthrie Day Thursday, November 2, should be an especially interesting day for Auggie theater buffs and non-theater buffs alike. Next Thursday is Guthrie Day at Augsburg. As a prelude to the annual Augsburg Night at the Guthrie November 28, several of the famous Guthrie Theater’s technicians will spend part of that day on Augsburg's campus. Such Guthrie personnel as outreach artist Emily Mann, literary manager Barbara Field, production manager Jon Cranney. and costume director Jack Edwards will serve as guest lecturers in several Augsburg classes on Thursday. Those classes will be held in the East Commons to allow students other than those enrolled in the courses involved to attend.

Elaine Kienilz_ treasurer, 4920 EillOl Ave S Nursing Department Moves Closer to Accreditation By HOLLY GROTEN Augsburg's department of nursing is moving forward in its quest for accreditation. Beverly Nilsson, department chair- person, defined accreditation as “a means of recognizing quality programs." Dr. May Lohr, dean of the college of nursing at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and Dr. Helen Johnson, head of nursing at Purdue University in Indiana, were at Augsburg last week for an on-site visit of the college as part of the accreditation process. “The nursing department here submitted a 500-page self—evaluation report which consisted of our response to criteria concerning the curriculum, resources, faculty, and administration of our department," explained Nilsson. “Dr. Johnson and Dr. Lohr were here to verify and clarify that report," she said. While they were here, the nurses visited classes and student nurse preceptorship practicums (intemshipsl. The nurses will send their finding to the Board of Review for the National League for Nursing the first week in December in New York City. Nilsson stressed that a program does not receive accreditation automatically. “It's not like a rubber stamp. We think the visit went very well and we are cautiously optimistic. but we have no way of knowing what the board will decide until December, " she said. The League for Nursing required a waiting period before the accreditation process can begin. “We could not even begin to apply for accreditation until we had graduated our first class of students. The League wants to be sure the program is fully functioning," explained Nilsson. “The faculty of the department of nursing are very pleased with the support and cooperative effort of the Augsburg community as we have gone through the accreditation process," she added.

Show moreOrchrestra in Fine Form Reviewed By ESTIE BROUWER The Augsburg College Orchestra was in fine form last Friday as they presented their debut concert in the Music Hall's newly-completed Sateren Auditorium. The concert capped a busy week for Orchestra members, as the group has just completed a four-day clinic tour to several high schools around the state. Under the energetic direction of conductor C. William Douglass, the Orchestra opened their Friday evening concert with Handel’s “Suite in D Major for Trumpet and Orchestra." Mike Brand, artist in residence, played the spirited trumpet solo. The suite was one of my favorites of the evening, possibly because it helped to satisfy my own penchant for the mellow tone that only stringed instruments can produce. Second on the program was Debussy’s haunting “Prelude a l'Apresmidi d‘un Faun" (“Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn”). Julie Moinicken’s sensitively interpreted ﬂute solo highlighted this lovely piece. Other solos lending to the piece’s impressionistic character were done by Belinda Reuther. French horn, J o Sturmen, clarinet, and Maureen Webster, oboe. A poem written by Stephane Malmarme served as inspiration for Debussy’s composition of “Prelude a l’Apres-midi d'un Faun." Beethoven’s “Concerto for Piano, Violin, and Cello in C Major, Opus 56” spotlighted three of the Orchestra’s talented musicians—violinist Mary Cherwien, cellist Deanna Stanger and pianist John Carlson—in masterful performances of the concerto's demanding solo parts. H Beethoven originally composed this triple concerto for performance by the Archduke of Austria, Rudolph of Hapsburg, who was a good pianist, violinist Ignaz Seidler, and cellist Anton Kraft. The Orchestra closed their concert with a rousing rendition of Mozart's “Symphony #36 in C Major." The symphony is know also as the “Linz Symphony" because it was written and performed in a period of four days at the home of Count Thun in Linz. The piece was an effective finale to a well-rounded program of orchestra classics. Personally, I enjoyed the concert immensely and probably would have had no problem listening to a few more hours of the same. For me, the Orchestra's concert was proof positive that the group is one of Augsburg‘s first-rate performing organizations. Death on the Nile Reviewed By JULIE MINARIK Just when you thought Hollywood had lost its touch for an old-fashioned mystery story, Paramount pictures brings to the screen a perplexing thriller that produces three deaths and an ample number of suspects. Screenwriter Anthony Schaffer and a superb cast combine to make Agatha Christie’s “Death on the Nile" the kind of comic mystery-thriller movie-watchers have been waiting for. The plot is centered on an obnoxious, spoiled heiress (Jane Birkin) who has many enemies, including her husband‘s jilted err-fiancee, played by Mia Farrow. Christie’s whodunit thriller brings together a group of suspicious-looking people on the heiress's honeymoon in Egypt. In addition to being constantly confronted by the husband‘s jilted lover, the honeymooning couple is joined on a trip down the Nile by a boat full of people interested in the heiress for one reason or another. Peter Ustinov plays Hercule Poirot, the Belgian sleuth. All ears and watchful eyes, his part is made more convincing by an eye glass and waxed mustache. Ustinov pieces together the intriguing puzzle, aided by David Niven. Ustinov tries to convince the jilted lover to leave the honeymooning couple alone by telling her, “Bury the dead. Look forward. Time heals everything." Other members of the cast include: Jane Birkin, Bette Davis, Jon Finch, Olivia Hussey, George Kennedy, Angela Lansbury, Simon Mac Corkindale, Jack Warden and Maggie Smith. The part of an intoxicated romantic novelist who is accused of libel by the heiress is convincingly played by Angela Lansbury. In her usual style, Bette Davis, playing a petty thief, carries her consonants for an extra beat exclaiming that the heiress‘ pearl necklace is “beaut-tee—ful." Others interested in the heiress include a Marxist who despises the heiress for her money, a fradulent American attorney, and a maid to whom the heiress owes a great deal of money that she wishes to use for a dowery. From a vine-covered castle in England to the ancient sands of Egypt, Christie's usual spine—tingling suspense writing keeps the audience guessing until the very end. --------------------- November 20, 7:00 .m.

Warren Bowles' fall production is not typical of the Augsburg Little Theater. Bowles overcomes the lack of stage space with excellent blocking and the best scene design in at least four years, courtesy of Guthrie Property Master Michael Beery, to stage a first class production. Matchmaker allows no character the lead role but develops several personalities fully. Bowles, in general, has casted well. The resonant Mark Johnson as Horace Vandergelder, the Yonkers Merchant, opens by telling Andrew Kemper (Dave Denzer) to forget ever marrying Vandergelder‘s mece Ermengarde (Laurie Fyksen). The artist suitor is not materialistic enough for the wealthy snob. Johnson is stern and convincing but Denzer does not come off as an artist, although his line readings and facial expression are good. Fyksen is a picture of protected innocence and is able to play to a crowd almost as well as Johnson. Her facial emotion is excellent but her verbal crying needs work, even in the context of a farce. Vandergelder's head clerk (recently promoted from head clerkl. Cornelius Hackl (Curt Akerlind} and apprentice, Barnaby Tucker, (Randy Johnsonl seek adventure in New York City while “Wolftrap” is in town courting Mrs. Irene Malloy (Lori Rymanl. They seek Wilder's adventure and their first kiss. “I am 33 years old, I've got to start sometime," Hackl proclaims. “I am only 17, it’s not so urgent," replies the apprehensive Tucker, Technical Director Paul Sanneruud is to be credited with a fine exit out of Act I, as Hackl and Tucker set out on their adventure. Both Tucker and Hackl were played well. The boyish Randy Johnson was an audience favorite and deservedly so. Akerlind was authentic in gesture and expression. The most difficult scenes in the farce, in the hat shop and restaurant, (Acts H and HI! were done superbly by both Akerlind and Johnson. Augustine the waitress (Kathy Aunel more than overstates her anxiety as the mayor's champagne is commandeered, again eve in the context of a farce. The objects of their adventure turn out to be Mrs. Malloy and Minnie Fay (Kari Ecklund). Ryman is just all round solid as usual and handled a torn dress in Sunday night‘s performance very smoothly. Ecklund parallels Johnson with tantalizing naivette. Costume design (Don Fidler) was simple but a very appropriate 1880's look. The bright red vest and hat worn by Ambrose Kemper'were a bit much though. Matchmaker, Mrs. Levi (Gayle Anderson! is a manipulative, methodical woman who even arranges her own marriage to Horace Vandergelder. Mrs. Levi is played as well as any role this writer has seen at the Little Theater. Levi flows from Anderson as line readings become personality. Anderson is as subtle as she is direct, and expressive both in language and movement. She plays to the crowd, as noticed even in her small role in Our Town last spring. Her diction is ﬂawless. Mike Laudenslager as Malachi Stack, turns in a solid performance and Miss Flora Van Huysen (Paula Cline! is set up with good lines, although Cline had problems with delivery at times. Wilder allows his characters a voice directed to the audience throughout the play and all were handled well, bringing spontaneous applause from the audience. Matchmaker is an entertaining play and the Little Theatre players do it well. It is worth seeing and unfortunately ends this weekend. Performances are tonight, tomorrow night and Sunday afternoon. It will be crowded so call ahead for reservations.

Show morePEMUSS QNS My Country is also important! BySAMTAYLOR Up until a few days ago. the most annoying question I have been faced with has been: “How did you find out about Augsburg?" At first I got the impression that information on Augsburg was not for public consumption. When I found out that was not the case, I could not easily answer the question anymore. But after a while I began to understand the reason behind the question. There is less concern about things not directly affecting you. Apparently then, only Lutherans who are directly connected with Augsburg are likely to know about this college. If you are not Lutheran most likely you will not know whether such a school exists. Understanding the reason behind this question. I better understood why few people know there is a country called Liberia. my home. I have been confronted many times to prove where I am from—to locate Liberia on the map, because it is always the most obscure country in the world to those I meet, mostly at school. I remember talking with a friend a few months go. The dialogue began when the friend introduced me to some friends of his. as “Sam from Africa." I immediately added, "Liberia." but he insisted that we stop at Africa, because his friends did not know Liberia existed. “Why don't many people know Liberia in this country?" I asked. “Because it is not important to us." he replied bluntly. I shut my mouth and only wondered to myself what he meant by “not important to us." Although I tried to figure it out. I could not come to a definite conclusion. so I remained wondering. Very recently however, while following a T.V. news report on the situation in Iran. a reporter referred to Iran as a “vitally important country to the U.S." From this newscast, I figured out that the importance my friend had referred to had to do with economics. If my reasoning is right that Iran is “vitally important to U.S." because of her oil. and Liberia is “not important to us," because she does not supply oil now, I wonder if these same people know that the afﬂuent U.S. economy depends on more than oil? I wish to state it emphatically that Liberia is just as important to the U.S. as any country is. Here's why: Despite the historical link which may be only important to Liberia. there is political as well as economic importance. While many may not know. certainly Cyrus Vance and Andrew Young know Liberia's political importance to the U.S. Firestone and BF. Goodrich know that Liberia supplies most of the natural rubber used in this country. Firestone especially. knows that Liberia was just as important to the U.S. economy during the 1920‘s for natural rubber as Iran or Saudi Arabia is today for oil. Bethlehem Steel, Republic Steel and other steel Corporations in this country also know the economic importance of Liberia. They know that during the mid-1970's when Latin American mines could not meet the demands for the supply of iron ore needed by U.S. industries Liberia was on hand to supply high grade ore. Why all this . . .'? Well, just to let my friend and his friends' know that Liberia is also important . . . if not to him. at least to me. Bustin’ Out - Dance Saturday Night The Deerhunter it. 15 also illustrated by hunting—the hunting of deer in the gorgeous mountains of Pennsylvania. and the hunting of innocent human victims by military and Flt-ﬁlling always and everywhere. These parallels are almost so obvious as to be moralistic; yet they are genuinely effective. The cinematographer of “The Deerhunter" takes advantage of the breathtaking beauty that often surrounds the cruel hunt. Both the majestic mountains of Amence and the dense brush of Vietnam are skillfully shot. Music Is used as transition, descriptive device. and a key to character. not as the forced mood—setter that so many ﬁlms use to make up for other lacking elements. The swelling chorus of male voices echoing through the mountains during the deerhunts emphasizes the magnificence of the surroundings and the reverence that the title's deerhunter feels for the event. John. the chubby giggler of the group. used his surprising piano-playing ability to bridge the wedding to war scenes and show us the softer side to his character. He sings. as a delighted tuxedoed member of the choir at his friends’ wedding. and. much later. breaks quiverinalv into a patriotic tune when the complexity and cruelty of his old beer-drinking buddies fate becomes too difficult to comprehend or hear. The viewer is made to be a bit on edge by foreshadowing images throughout the film. The vain. hot-tempered member of the gang of Pennyslvania boys. played by John Cazale. is seen primping in the reﬂection of a car window just before the wedding. As he straightens his tie and slicks back his already too-slicked-back hair. we see a crack made by a gunshot in the window beside his face. The shot is held long enough and centered well enough to make us shift around in our theater seats and wonder what his fate will be. And the haunted Vietnam vet who wanders into the wedding reception and sits stiffly at the back of the bar chugging down drinks gives the boys, who are at first jeering. then angry, a taste of what is to come. They do not understand the sullenness and bitterness of the man in the green beret. But. the viewer realizes. they soon will. Of course. there are some moments in the film that seem a bit overdone. The attempt to illustrate the decadence and pompousness of the church through a robot priest. an overly lavish wedding ceremony. and low-angle shots that make the looming church building look like the Vatican itself. are so obvious they're almost laughable. And we are constantly reminded of the small-town setting by some of the stereotypical characters we see there. like the American Legion diehards that drape the} reception hall with gigantic American flags and break out the booze when the old church women carry in the wedding cake. Outside the enormous orthodox church we are given a brief shot of the town drunk swilling it down on a Saturday afternoon. And the many close-ups of children innocently enjoying the reception. and of the matured members of the party slowly getting loaded and lecherous. help create the small-townish feeling but verge on being corny. Yet they are charmingly and necessarily corny. "The Deerhunter‘s" incredible emotional impact on the viewer, I believe. is partially due to the character's change from innocence to knowledge. And the current explosive situation in Vietnam give the film a kind of eerie reality. But the effect may. perhaps. best be explained by this: it exposes a human element that one does not often glean from newspaper and television accounts of war and widespread violence and destruction. Those tales are too large and removed to comprehend. But the grippineg sad story of a handful. skillfully presented. is devastatingly poignant and eye-opening. _ That. I believe. is the value of film. Span Announces ’80 Programs Abroad Continued from page 5 The Augsburg College Student Center. 731 let Ave. 80., will be the site for a Benefit Dance on March 10.

O'Brien & Drawz, chaired this meeting that saw action taken to renovate Old Main, build a new drama facility, approve a new alcohol policy, conclude discussions con» cerning the Ice Arena. and promote certain faculty members, to name a few topics. The Board approved the recommenda- tion of the special task force on renewal fund projects, which called for the total renovation of Old Main along lines that would “correct exterior deficiencies. improve energy efficiency. and provide a more acceptable teaching environment. " It was recently learned that this will not he as expensive as originally estimated. due to a change in building codes. The plan also calls for the demolition of the old music building (the old church next to Melby Hall). to be replaced by a theatre facility attached to Melby Hall. to accomodate the desperate needs of the drama program. The renewal fund projects. as currently stated. will also see certain upgrading of the Science Hall. the Library. and Memorial Hall. as well as the continuation and completion of the "barrior removal" projects The task force. which had studied the issue since the October Regents meeting. consisted of two Regents, and representatives of the alumni board, the parents' board. the faculty. and the student society. The Regents also instructed the administration to invest- igate ways to facilitate the earliest possible commencement of these projects. After some discussion, the Alcohol Policy. as developed by the faculty Student Affairs Committee. with some minor modifications by the Administra- tion. was approved as a working document. Approval was gTanted on a provisional basis. with the understand— ing that further study and work would be done related tovthis policy statement. and that it would be reviewed again by the Regents one year from now. The Regents expressed genuine concern for the issue. stating concern that fair and set standards be used in issuing permits. that the importance for enforcement be recognized. and that the policy more clearly reflect the institutions position in regard to the use of alcohol, The Board accepted the report of their Finance and Management Committtee concerning the long controversial and difficult issue of the Ice Arena. While declining to honor the faculty request for representation and input on its recent meetings. the committee found that “no further in depth studies need be made at this time." In accepting the report. the Regents View the Ice Arena to be “clearly an assest" to Augsburg. and consequently sale of the facility should no longer be considered.

An amendment to the By-Iaws of the Faculty Constitution, which was adopted by the faculty nearly three years ago. calling for the granting of tenure to part-time faculty members was ap- proved.

This offers the potential for some security and reward to certain qualified faculty members. In the official report to the Board President Oscar Anderson updated the Regents on the current state of the college and some of his specific concerns. Noting that. “The quality of a college is the quality of its people." the President pointed out the need for adequate compensation for faculty and staff. He observed that the position of Augsburg Faculty salaries has slipped recently in relation to the colleges in Minnesota and the colleges of the ALC. To achieve even modest salary increases. President Anderson stated. will require higher student/faculty ratio. cutbacks in staff. further college economies. and the achievement of admissions and development goals. John R.

Show more) l editorials GUI IUI IUIb Two winners to chose from Campaigning for student government offices had seemed at its lowest point in recent years and we admit to being initially disturbed. ECHO had the privilege of interviewing the two candidate teams on Sunday for possible endorsements and insults. Quite frankly we were surprised by both teams. Weick-Burmeister seem motivated for change. Carlson-Polzin appear motivated to represent. Both teams are impressive and would make competent student leaders. Both teams would have to work hard on their communication skills if they are to establish credibility with local administrators. Philosophically we have only minor problems with each slate and see no burning differences. Subtle differences. however. do exist. WB would like to see an additional $5 taken out of the tuition increase per student and placed back into student programming. CP would like to see all increases minimized. We see the rationale for both points of view, but given the fact that the student activities budget has not seen an increase in four years, we agree with WB. But WB want to disban Black Student Union (BSU) in hopes of encompassing all minorities. We support the BSU concept and feel the existing financial problems could be better handled by getting Augsburg as an institution to back the concept. Admissions would benefit and our urban mission would continue. Both teams plan on working hard to improve inter—campus communi- cations. Communications and publicity have improved under the Bonderud Administration and both teams have come up with ways to build on that improvement. We commend them both on this point and cite Jim Polzin as the best communicator on either ticket. Choosing between the two teams divided the ECHO staff. None of us had serious reservations about either team. The election will be close if last week's primary results are any indication. Turnout will be low. in the Augsburg tradition. The choice is yours. make it count. L.C.. C.H., H.G. Chestang speaks on the black family Reviewed by CHRIS HALVORSON The black family can be a crucial source of dignity and self-esteem for the black child. depending on social restrictions and the nature of the family. according to Dr. Leon W. Chestang. Dr. Chestang. a professor of social work at the University of Alabama. is an authority on black families and has written books on the subject. He spoke at Augsburg February 28 as part of the Second annual convocation on the family. Sateren Auditorium was filled to capacity with an audience comprised mainly of social work students and area social workers. The event was sponsored by the Black Student Affairs Office, Augsburg Education Program Commission. the Minnesota Chapter of the National Association of Black Social Workers. and a number of other community social work organizations. Chestang's presentation, “The Black Family: A Source of Dignity and Self- Esteem." outlined his study of 20 successful black American families. He divided them into two categories: achievement-oriented and survival-oriented. The achieve- ment-oriented family had a father and the capacity to support itself. The survival- oriented did not have a father and lacked the ability to support itself. Chestang's study showed that the families had different capacities for enhancing dignity and self- esteem in the black child. In the achievement-oriented family. children are taught to aspire to education. religious faith. and an optimism for the future. The parents constantly seek to shield their children from the barriers of race and racism when they are young and impressionable. Parents become a buffer for the children. telling them. in effect. “You are somebody." according to Chestang. The child's dignity and belief in the family remains intact. The survival-oriented family has to focus on securing basic needs. Without a father. the mother is the only provider and protector. A special relationship grows between the mother and child. The mother is idealized by the child; she is his savior. She makes each child feel special. In spite of these efforts. she has trouble meeting the needs of the child because of financial resources. The child often has to assume responsibility earlier than others. He is often surrounded by and dwells in the midst of poverty. He realizes he has less than others and this results in feelings of fear and shame. The social workers. according to Chestang. must take a new look at the ways they help black families. The social worker is the one who has the theory and the practice to understand the way in which the environment and the family interact to produce the problems of the black child. according to Chestang. “We as social workers need the knowledge, the skills and the commitment to intervene when this is seen." Chestang said. “We must go into the ghettos. not with the goal of changing the family but to fulﬁl] a human need. The social work profession is uniquely qualified to rise to this challenge." said Chestang. "Ours is a magnificent obsession." he continued. “Who but us will serve these families? Who but us will stand up for them in justice? Who but us will commit an entire corporate enterprise to securing the dignity and enhancing the quality of their lives? Who but us?" College.

Now really, isn’t there a more logical way to express distain (sic) with Annie's menu choices than to take 10 pads of butter. smear it on the table. top it off with two cottage cheese and pineapple salads. and then throw on a little baked corn. Be careful to hit the chair and the floor—-you need the full effect. Poeple wonder why it costs so much to go to Augsburg. When I see food being wasted like this (10 pads of butter costs a pretty penny for pranks as childish as this). tiles being ripped down by the Urness elevators. pop and candy machines being vandalized. and all kinds of damage done due to drunken fun. the steady increase in Augsburg tuition rates become justified. as a whole. Guided tours to perspective (sic) freshmen and their parents are a real treat—how can you talk about Augsburg in a positive sense when you're tramping through a paper—littered College Center lounge or up and down elevators whose doors have been splattered with beer and littered with bent-up Schlitz cans.

February 26 at Augsburg Kevin Bonderud for the opportunity to expose the Board of Regents to some of Augsburg's student leaders. We are a little confused as to why the Board of Regents was not allowed to meet with some Augsburg students as well. Our attempt to informally meet with the Board was rebuffed. Blame should not be assigned to Kevin. the Administration. or the Board of Regents. in the future. we feel that some time should be set aside to insure that any interested student would have the opportunity to meet with Regent members.

The Deerhunter rightfully mominated for nine academy awards Reviewed by KATHY YAKAL “The Deerhunter." a film about a wedding. a war. and a WASPish community, has been nominated for nine Academy Awards and showered with acclaim by many critics. And with good reason. “The Deerhunter" is a monstrous film. Over three hours in length. it is so long and so complex that it is difficult to separate and be critical of the many elements of which it is composed. Though complex. its plot and themes are clearly and grippineg presented. It is a story about three young, swaggering yet vulnerable men whose lives are drastically altered as they leave their steel worker jobs and their families and friends in the small town of Clairton, Pennsylvania to confront the cruel reality of another part of the world. specifically. Vietnam. Director Michael Cirnino reveals as much about their character and small town America in the preparation for and celebration of Steve's (John Savage) wedding. and the final deerhunt before their journey to the heart of darkness, as he does in the horror of the second half. Vietnam is not the central issue. There is no moralizing about the political necessity of the conflict. The boys are drafted. The boys go. And the boys each undergo a metamorphosis so tragic and so drastic that the earlier scenes of them playing pool and throwing each other around and drunkenly singing rock and roll to a 60's tune blaring from the jukebox seem like part of another movie. The world has not changed: they have just become aware of it. They have lost their innocence. Yet Michael. played by the volatile Robert DeNiro. seems to possess a maturity at the beginning of the film that is only deepened by his new knowledge of another sphere of the world and another side of people. Michael is the “control freak," as his friends call him—the skilled leader midst his bumbling buddies on their ritualistic deerhunts. the serious pool player while his pals get drunk and joke and dance. the green beret in Vietnam. and. finally. savior for his friends in battle. DeNiro's ability to be intense to the point of madness (which he demonstrated so well in the controversial “Taxi Driver") and. in the next moment. to crinkle his face into a joyful. boyish grin, makes the russian roulette scene in the jungle river of Vietnam a horrifying 15 minutes that tears at the viewer's emotions and stomach. Christopher Walken is given a bit more room in this film than he was allowed as Annie's comically lunatic brother in “Annie Hall." He makes a believable transformation from the handsome, boasting yet shy and simple Nick into a drugged. memory-erased victim of the war. Nick becomes a victim. not on the battlefield. as so many war films have portrayed. but in the sinister. smoke-filled back rooms of Saigon. The fear, the doubt, and the courage of these characters are credible and moving. And their horror of, yet fascination with, playing warlike games when war is already too real and senseless, is paradoxical. The game of russian roulette, played on and off the battleground, is one of the many symbols in the film. The impermanence and risk of life, and peoples' lack of respect for March 9. 1979 The Basement: One more unique eatery Reviewed By ESTIE BROUWER Arts Editor Though it's only one of many unique eateries in our colorful Cedar-Riverside area, the Basement has to be ranked as one of the best. Located above the 400 Bar at the comer of Cedar and Riverside. the Basement offers an atmosphere that's relaxed and relaxing. with just a touch of sophistication. Fresh ﬂowers on all the tables. director's chairs, hardwood ﬂoors. a few large plants and jazz playing softly in the background add to the pleasant intimacy of the place. The Basement's menu reﬂects the variety and diversity of the surrounding area. A wide selection of open-face Danish sandwiches. eaten with knife and fork. add an ethnic touch. The Basement offers several variations of the gourmet hot dog—the enchilada dog is an especially tasty one. The menu also includes several unique salads. sand- wiches. appetizers and side orders. My all-time favorite at the Basement has to be the melted cheese pot “Villahermosa.” For $1.50. you get a pot of tangy melted cheese and two large soft tortillas. It really hits the spot. But if you're in the mood for something a little more substantial. the hard salami sandwich. the spinach soufﬂe'. or any of the Danish sandwiches are bound to leave you satisfied. Service at the Basement can vary. It'll probably never be quite as speedy as McDonald's, but the service is generally quite fast and efficient. The waitresses— ] don't think I've ever seen a waiter there—are friendly and considerate. One of the things I like best about the Basement is its reasonable prices. If you go there with a ravenous appetite. eat a generous meal with wine and all the extras. and leave a tip. chances are you'll still leave with a handful of change from a five dollar bill. LTD: Learning Through Diversity By CHERYL E. BRANCH An integral component of a successful learning environment is diversity. Without diversity. there is little acquisition of “non-academic" knowledge involving experiences with different people. Augsburg is a “self-proclaimed" college of the city. It is common knowledge that a city is filled with diversity—there are vast differences in culture. race. and creed. To be of the city. a school must include representation from the city. Homogeneity is the rule here at Augsburg College; yet Augsburg is in the heart of the city. One question that should be raised is: where is the representation from the city? Our lack of diversity here is undesirable. What can be done? First. Augsburg must recognize its homogeneity and that this type of society can stiﬂe knowledge. Secondly. Augsburg must allow different perspectives to be voiced and made known. whether this is done through Black students. Black professors. curriculum. or social interaction. Thirdly. Augsburg must be willing to recmit representatives from the city. Once these new students arrive at Augsburg. the college should make it their obligation to retain and graduate them. But this does not happen. According to Ralph Crowder. Black Student Affairs Coordinator. 7? per cent of Black students entering Augsburg College from 1972-1975 dropped out. while 23 per cent graduated. The question now is why? Could it be the non-diverse atmosphere. the social life. or the lack of commitment on the part of this institution to retain and graduate Black students? Attitudes of the faculty. professors. and staff and lack of commitment of the institution must all be explored as part of the problem in order to reach a solution. Students entering college are a reflection of their parents and communities: however. when they leave the school. they have been inﬂuenced by the new environment and they become a reﬂection of the institution. Augsburg College has a small Black American population. But because the population is small in number does not mean it should be ignored. It would only strengthen the college to have full-time Black professors; more part»time Black instructors; to Show movies with noted Black stars and to have dances featuring Black bands. The entire institution would benefit because the Augsburg community would experience something they are presently deprived of. The presence of Blacks in areas of responsibility would give people different perspectives and viewpoints enabling them to broaden academic skills. to reduce provincialism and also to provide role models for Black students. How could this diversity including new and different capacities for learning be destructive? One point that must also be realized is that it would be pernicious and very cruel to require Blacks to assimilate. (which means. "be like us" or “adapt our ways") into the dominant society. This not only ignores cultural differences. but also rules out any possibility of mutual exchange between the minority and the majority. Instead. diversity should be recognized and interaction without assimilation should be promoted. Diversity for the sake of learning should be acknowledged and respected. not concealed in a pool of homogeneic institutionalism. Auggie Arts Agenda Tues..

A few parents. a couple of friends. two Echo photographers. and the Athletic Director were about to welcome home two national champions on behalf of Augsburg College. But it was hard to find any disappoint- ment. Wrestlers grow accustomed to a lack of recognition: they dealt with it somewhere back in high school. It is part of the sport. Jeff Swensen and Scott Whirley are individual national champions in the NAIA. Augsburg has only had one previous titlist. certainly not two from one team. These titles were certainly not flukes. Swenson cruised into the semifinals, coming out on top of his closest match 13-6. But going into the final period of that semifinal match Swenson found himself behind 7-1. It came from within. An unbelievable four cradles. 15 points. and one hell of a lot of riding time. it was not even close. 16-7. Swenson had something he had waited four years for. Waiting through four individual con- ference titles. four team titles. hundreds of missed meals—all for a chance to prove you can do something better than anyone else in your class. It was no contest. Augsburg's No. 2 seeded 167 pounder and captain brought home a well-deserved national title. 14-1. “I've had quite a few champions over the years but Swenson is the most deserving kid I have ever coached." said a beaming John Grygelko. head wrestling coach.

Like Swenson. the 126 pound Whirley breezed into the semifinals. Whirley was tied 3-3 going into overtime. "I knew I'd probably win. I trained hard with Swens. running and eating the same diets. We're pretty close friends and have spent a lot of time together in the last four weeks getting ready for nationals." Whirley said, Whirley escaped into the finals 4-3. Whirley proceeded to control the championship match 7-1. bringing home "an unbelievable feeling." Swenson will be leaving. he is a senior. Whirley. only a sophomore. will have a tough act to follow next year. But he will handle himself as others before him and will be a source of team inspiration that has become a necessity in the obscure sport of wrestling. For Swenson—possibly the Olympic games. Does it sound far-fetched? Well so (lid our national title four years ago. One thing is certain. they will not be forgotten.

O O 0 so can By CHRIS HALVORSON News Editor “It would be really easy to take us as a joke. I can understand this. Chuck and my involvement has been minimal. The apathetic attitude of the campus is dominant and they put Chuck and I into this category," Harold Weick, candidate for Student Society President, said. “We hope to prove we're no joke.‘ running-mate Charles Burmeister said. “If we can get involved so can everyone else." Involvement and a revival of the Auggie spirit is the push of the Weick/ Burmeister campaign. The candidates divide their issues into four categories. In their Outreach and Development campaign, Weick sights a new twist to the Black Student Union. “Right now the Black Student Union has problems getting funds because they are not responding to any other minorities. What I want to see would be a union for all minorities combined. I'm all for a student union for minorities, and I don't want this to be taken wrong, but I want to disban the BSU. I want a union administered and carried out by all minorities. The BSU is segregated. and the purpose is not to be segregated," Harold said. Another idea the :eam has under their Outreach platform is to get more students appointed to college boards and commissions. In their Student Services platform, Harold explained he wanted to get the freshmen and off»campus students involved more specifically in Program Commission activities. He suggested activities similar to Auggie night at the (iuthric and the Day in May celebration. --.' everyone else.’ “This may seem trivial. but if a student goes and meets just three more people, that's a step towards their greater involvement." Burmeister sighted that they also want to get to the bottom of the parking issue and find out what can be done and what is being done about it. In their Academic Platform, Weick wants to look into getting intramural and varsity Sports credited as a Life-time sport for the general requirements. Weick also believes commissions of the student senate should be given some type of academic credit. Under Food and Housing Services. Weick hopes to start a seminar for educating women on rape and to improve the lighting of Murphy Square. He also wants to expand vending, Chin- Wag, and Food Service offers to include more variety. The biggest problem Weick wants to attack is getting more tuition dollars put back into the pockets of students. Right now, $35 of the student's tuition is given to student senate for services. Tuition has increased every year but this amount hasn't. “The administration and faculty get more of this money, but the student senate needs more too in order to keep offering its services to the student." Harold said. “We want to increase student awareness and involvement," Harold said. “We're puttingourselves as an example to follow" We‘re not trying to fool anybody," Burmeister said. "We're active socially, and now this opportunity will give us a new area to be involved with. We're willing to listen to any input. any personal gripes the student might have. We want them and ourselves to be heard," he added. ------------------ VOTE TODAY t 9A.M.-3P.M. College Center L------------------.‘ 2 we’re the better way.’ By HOLLY GROTEN News Editor "After meetings for breakfast in the Commons, late night planning sessions in the Chinwag, and spending many five hour nights at Lisa's place, I finally told Lisa. “We've got to get our campaign publicity out. People are beginning to think we're going together." said Jim Polzin, explaining that a political campaign, not a love affair. was in the making for Lisa Carlson, student body presidential candidate, and Jim Polzin, her vice-presidential running mate. Lisa decided to nm for the presidential position because she did not think anyone else would run, and she thought she owed it to Augsburg to run. “I know the problems and I think I've got some solutions to offer. I have always maintained that if there is still something we can do, then we haven't done enough. There is always something yet to be done." she explained. Jim doesn't think he owes it to Augsburg to run, but rather. “I owe it to my friends at Augsburg. I want to work with the people that I‘m always around—the students. I think the Student Senate can best be handled by someone serious who's qualified and competent enough to do it." said Jim. The main strategy of the Carlson- Polzin team is to inform students that “we are here and will remain here, active and approachable." they ex- plained. After four weeks of planning, the team decided upon a platform containing these points: The two campaigners feel a top priority at Augsburg is to achieve better communication between the student government and the student body. “We think we can accomplish that through efficient use of the Program Commis- sion. Publicity Commission, 8.0.8.. and use of the Echo." said Jim. The two juniors also hope to make ' better use of community resources. They ; feel because Augsburg is located in an a urban setting, the college competing with the city as far as activities are concerned. But according to Lisa. if enough people get together. they are not competing with the city anymore, but rather. experiencing together what the community has to offer. Jim feels one mission of Augsburg is to better the community by being active ' in it. “I'd like to see apathy turned into a pride of Augsburg by extending into the community and doing things together in the community," he said. Since there was such a large response to the many activities planned over interim, Carlson and Polzin hope to continue those types of get-togethers throughout the year. Student parking problems are another area the two will deal with. They hope to create a snow emergency day specifically at Augsburg for snow removal. Food service improvement and better orientation for transfer students are only a few ofthe many concerns the team will have to deal with if elected. Lisa already has a long list of political involvement behind her to qualify her for student body president. A political science major from Bloomington, Lisa is the junior class representative at large. She was chairperson of the student services committee and the Old Main ad hoc committee, and worked for numerous political campaigns. She is now employed as a criminal investigator for the city attorney's office. Both feel they make a good team, since they work well together. Lisa said she works better on a one-to—one basis. which will help her when communicating with the faculty, while Jim works better with larger groups.
