Show moreBut ah!! The power of those nights...standing around a campfire, testifying and singing, “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus?” Purity. The Lutheran Free Church was not afraid to talk about sin. Principle # 4 forthrightly acknowledges its existence even within a free and living congregation: 4. Members of the organized congregation are not in every instance, believers, and such hypocrites often derive a false hope from their external connection with the congregation. It is therefore the sacred obligation of the congregation to purify itself through the quickenin preaching of the Word, by earnest admonition and exhortation, and by expelling the openly sinful and perverse. No question...sin was real, sin was personal, sin was a factor to be dealt with, and sin was a problem arising from the nature of unredeemed humanity, not merely error caused by faulty systems. I have no personal knowledge of any sins so open and perverse as to trigger expulsion from a congregation—but I have no doubt that they ernasted. The dilemma for the LFC was how to recognize and name specific sins, how to protect the youth from sin and how to confront sin. Attempts to do so are what earned us the reputation for a certain priggishness...and, unfortunately, are remembered with some derision. I remember the issue as my mother defined it. She was, for years, the Sunday School superintendent at Trinity Church. She once told me that, while she didn’t believe attending movies was sinful, she would hesitate before entering a theater lest some Trinity Sunday School student might see her doing so, and conclude that if Mrs. Olson did it, it was okay for anyone to see any movie. was snide enough to think, but didn’t say, that Trinity Sunday School kids growing up in the Cedar-Riverside-Franklin and Seven Corners neighborhoods in the 40s and ‘50s had probably already witnessed things that were a lot scarier than Mrs. Olson going to the movies. But my mother had herself experienced change in how sin was defined. When she was in eighth grade, she and a friend bought satin fabric and sewed what was then the latest fashion. When she brought the garment home, her father exploded. No daughter of his house, he thundered, would wear “Satan bloomers” to school. Years later, mom told me that she hid the bloomers in a field and put them on as she walked to school. That made me feel better about all the times I had told my parents that I went to Friday night parties at Roosevelt High School just to play ping pong. Or the years, after I was married, when I took the beer out of the refrigerator whenever my parents were coming over. You may each have your own list of youthful taboos which you have later broken...movies, dancing, alcohol, smoking, card playing, cutting paper dolls on Sunday, you name it. ose taboos were not as far out of the American mainstream as you might have thought. Those of you who remember the biography and movie, “A Man Called Peter” or who devoured the Christian romance novels of Grace Livingston Hill wil remember that even Presbyterians embraced such standards just a decade or so earlier.

Show morehim humble. She is officially unacknowledged in histories of the synod, usually has no first name in histories of the congregations, but there isn’t a congregation among us which doesn’t owe her a great debt of gratitude. The Lutheran Free Church was composed of congregations that were not only “free,” but—equally as important—“living” congregations. And congregations were alive because the people in them were alive. The Holy Spirit lived within them, and through them the Holy Spirit lived in the fellowship of the believers. This life was spelled out in two of the fundamental principles... 2. The congregation consists of believers who, by using the means of grace and the gifts of the Spirit as directed by the Word of God, seek salvation and eternal blessedness for themselves and their ellowmen. 6. A free and independent congregation esteems and cherishes all of the gifts of the Spirit which the Lord gives it for its own edification, and seeks to stimulate and encourage their use. o The words “piety” and “pietism” have acquired a sour taste. They have become synonymous with “priggishness” or “prudery.” Admittedly, some of our legacy may eserve some of those charges. But that was never the heart of our piety. The heart of Lutheran Free Church piety called hearers to an experienced relationship with God. This relationship was distinctly personal...we all heard repeatedly that it was not automatic through church membership or family tradition. We used the language of fellow American evangelicals and talked about conversion and accepting Jesus as our personal Savior. This was always within the context of the Small Catechism, keeping our theology soundly Lutheran, acknowledging the free gift of grace, faith made possible only through the gracious work of the Holy Spirit. But the heart of our faith was contained not in purity of dogma nor in how much we knew, but rather in the pure longing of the heart to know God...to know Jesus as well as we knew our own amilies...to live in daily communion with the Lord. Congregations sought to keep that warm relationship alive within members and within the community in a number of ways... As families, we built traditions of daily devotions, using scripture, ublished devotional materials, memorized prayers from even the smallest children and impassioned extemporaneous prayers. As teens, we were exhorted in confirmation classes, Bible Camp and Luther League to observe personal “quiet times” for Bible reading and prayer. I always failed to establish that practice; but it was hard to find the privacy. We were a family of six in a three- bedroom house where my sister shared not only my room, but my bed. We would encounter the Spirit, who would nurture the life within us, in the Bible and we were expected to learn and use it. As Sunday School students, we sang “Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers...” to learn the order of the books, and vied to win gold stars for verses we memorized. Confirmation classes included Bible History as well as catechism. We had the PTL long before Jim and Tammy Bakker went on TV. I’m probably not the only one here who still feels a little guilty because I once signed the pledge of the Pocket Testament League and I don’t have a New Testament in my purse today. (I do have MacBible on my IBook, however.) Schwarzkopf —_ Legacy of the Lutheran Free Church page 5

Show moreWhen I was young, drinking beer was clearly a sin. (Now it’s only a sin if you drink it from a earth-polluting styrofoam cup.) During the LFC’s 66 years, temperance, prohibition and a life of total abstinence were promoted as the right way to deal with the ills arising from mis-use of alcohol. Now, those attitudes are derided as small- minded and puritanical. I don’t believe they were. I believe they were an honest attempt to deal with a real social evil in an ethnic population which still has a large percentage of alcoholism. And I find it interesting that, of our four children, it is the youngest who comes closest to her tee-totaling grandmother in her attitudes toward alcohol, because she is the one who grew up witnessing the ravages of alcoholism in the parents of some close friends. In the on-going struggle to purify congregations of the Free Church, sin was confronted regularly and rigorously. Preaching was the first line of defense. Sermons were expected to be biblical, yes, but also to name sin and warn of its consequences. Along with that judgment, sermons were to present the gospel. Every time. When you couldn't rest on church membership as reassuring evidence of salvation, every sermon had to present the case for repentance and renewal. Beyond those Sunday morning sermons, judgment and gospel were confronted at annual revival meetings, at the occasional tent meeting, at Bible camps and in the practice of making individual testimonies. Members who had experienced repentance and renewal were encouraged to relive the experience in giving testimony to it. And some of those testimonies of lives reclaimed reverberated for decades of joy in God's grace. The Legacy. So what is the legacy? What do we have to offer, from those 66 years, for the church in the 21st century? ° Maybe a prayer meeting should have been part of this day, a time to wait for the Spirit to speak to us—and then for us to talk together with God. We need to live the legacy, not simply argue it. Meanwhile.... ° Can we continue to support the congregations? To uphold the right and the wisdom of congregations in deciding how best to serve the Kingdom of God in their own locations. There’s a reason why, when people say “I’m going to church,” it’s the congregation they refer to. It is the congregations that have lasted through all of the denominational groupings. It is in the congregations that the vast majority of the church members —the laity—encounter the church and encounter Christ. ° Can we commit ourselves to demanding Biblically-based reaching—solid, thoughtful, meaty—and to commending it where we nd it? Can we support seminaries that prepare scholars as pastors for congregations? ° Can we affirm the dignity and the vocation of the laity? As baptized Christians, we, too, are called...to live out our lives for Christ, including accepting responsibility for congregational service and leadership. Can we educate lay people in the Bible? ° Can we resist movements to establish levels of ministry within the church? When congregations, rather than external structures, are the focus of the church, the highest office is that of parish pastor. When the Schwarzkopf —_ Legacy of the Lutheran Free Church page 8

Show moreNEWS decree that will strengthen the changes initiated at the state level. That investigation start- ed in April 2021 after former Minneapolis police officer Der- ek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd. Many community members are skeptical about the difference this will make. Professor Mi- chael Lansing, who is collabo- rating on a public history of the Minneapolis Police titled “Overpoliced & Underprotected in MSP,” says they are right to feel that way. “For as long as there has been a Minneapolis Police force there have been community members trying to hold it accountable, especially around questions of racialized policing and use of force,” said Lansing. Officers will have limits and additional responsibilities when interacting with the pub- lic, such as being required to provide their written name and badge number to anyone they contact and being prohibited from indiscriminately spraying pepper spray into crowds — a practice that came under fire in the response to the civil un- rest of 2020. Changes will also be made to allow trainees to give feedback on training of- ficers and to provide cultur- ally appropriate mental health professionals with specialized training in different areas such as PTSD, domestic violence and anger management to officers. Many of the changes require MPD to “continue to” do things they are supposed to have been doing all along. Existing poli- cies ban no-knock warrants and chokeholds and require regis- tering undercover social me- dia accounts with the depart- ment. However, the agreement provides an avenue for track- ing and enforcement of these policies and procedures where it may have not existed in the past. The agreement also out- lines the basis for officers to stop vehicles and people, pro- hibiting reasons based on de- mographic (such as race) or certain violations such as ex- pired registration or a broken taillight to be allowed. Professor Lansing emphasizes that, deeper than the issues on the surface the agreement addresses, is the fundamental issue of the absence of trust between the average Minneapo- lis resident and sworn officers. “That absence of trust is not restored or fixed by this court agreement,” he said. “We have to think about this court agree- ment as a beginning and not an end. It took decades — even centuries — to create the unjust structures that we have in our criminal justice system and it’s going to take a long time to get us out of this.” Willow Project Faces Lawsuits as Construction Receives Greenlight On March 13, 2023, President Biden signed the approval for the $8 billion construction of the Willow Project. Accord- ing to the New York Times, the construction will occur on Alaska’s North Slope of the federally owned National Pe- troleum Reserve-Alaska, which is also the largest expanse of untouched wilderness in the United States. This oil project was originally approved and then halted under the Trump administration in 2020. Since then, it has been modified and approved by President Biden as pressure from Alaska's largest crude oil producer and proposer of the project, Cono- 2 ECHO APRIL 2023 Olivia Allery news editor coPhillips, intensified. According to Earthjustice, an environmental law firm, this plan was originally approved by the Trump administration in 2020, right before president- elect Biden was sworn into office, but it was met with a fair amount of backlash from conservation groups and a lawsuit. Earthjustice filed the suit against the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the failure to recognize the climate impact and inaccurate estimates of carbon emissions of the project. The project’s approval was then reversed by a federal judge for flaws in its environmental review process. ConocoPhillips then modified the project to address the inaccurate review and _ pro- posed the project to the White House again. According to CNN, as the decision deadline approached environmental ac- tivists rallied and sent over a million letters and collected over 3 million signatures na- tionwide on petitions to halt Willow.

Show moreNEWS STAFF [...] Greenlight (continued) Olivia Allery news editor Management for again failing to review the environmental impact and asked to stop im- mediate construction. One of these lawsuits has been re- jected already by the Alaskan Federal District Judge Sharon Gleason. Willow includes the construc- tion of three oil drill pads that are estimated to produce 180,000 barrels of oil per day, and over the course of its 30- year schema, could produce over 260 million metric tons of CO2 emissions. According to National Resource Defense Council, this approved proj- ect also puts a serious hole in President Biden’s promise to cut the U.S.’s CO2 emissions in half by the year 2030 and the pledge to the UN of keep- ing global temperatures from rising over 1.5 degrees Celsius each year. Willow also is pre- dicted to have damaging ef- fects on the ecosystems and livelihoods of the NPR-A. The NPR-A is home to many dif- ferent Arctic wildlife species such as polar bears, caribou and various migratory birds, all of which would be directly affected by Willow’s construc- tion. Construction, building of gravel roads, increased traf- fic, and the setting up of man camps disturb and destroy over 17,000 acres of arctic ani- mals habitats, migration pat- terns and food resources. Not to mention the ripple effect of the increased global tempera- tures caused from Willow, such as Arctic ice melting, rising sea levels, increase in severe weather, and death to humans and animals. According to Indian Country To- day, the Nuiqsut community of the NPR-A, just 36 miles away from Willow is also joining envi- ronmentalists lawsuits against the Bureau of Land Management and have written to the Secre- tary of Interior, Deb Haaland, expressing serious concern for the project. The predicted changes of the caribou migra- tion and increased melting ice will have serious effects on the Nuiqsut ability to gather food and natural resources from the land, which could change their way of life forever. As the global temperature con- tinues to rise, time will only tell how big Willow’s impact will be on not only the NPR-A but on the entire planet.

My hope for the remainder of the season is to work hard, put in 100% of what | have, and make it to the playoffs.” It’s so great to see athletes that have self and team success, as the ones that have both always emphasize the importance of their connection with their teams. Both Wilson and Galazen con- tributed to the Auggies’ 16-9 win over Wartburg College on Wednesday, April 12. Wilson broke the school record for the most goals scored in one game with a total of nine goals. Her nine goals broke the old school record of seven, that she had tied earlier this season. Her nine points tied the single-game school record, set in 2019 in games by Mikayla Jones and Mi- kayla Knudson. Also at the game against Wart- burg, first year Eleanor Flynn scored two goals, senior Rylan Lee added a goal and two assists, senior Alexa Martin scored a goal, and Galazen scored a goal.

In my neighborhood, we defi- nitely had a basketball court and football field, but where was the baseball field? Well it was there, but it for damn sure wasn't used for fielding ground balls. Let’s just say the sorry excuse of a base- ball field was used for selling and buying some stuff | can't mention. Baseball in the Black community for a long time has been an afterthought. “Black people don't play baseball,” and “Baseball is a white peo- ple sport,” common things you would hear from both Black and white people as a young African American ballplayer. So as a young man, | was faced with some uncom- fortable questions: is base- ball really a white sport? Be- sides Jackie Robinson, what other Black baseball players are there? As it turns out, | was on the cusp of discover- ing a massive piece of not just baseball history but American history: | discovered the Ne- gro Leagues. were In the 1920s, Black baseball players were not allowed to play in the major leagues be- Jacob WIIliS statt writer cause of segregation. There was no shortage of Black play- ers with major league talent, but they were relegated to ei- ther playing ball for an inde- pendent team or not at all. A man by the name of Rube Fos- ter saw fit to change this. He decided if Black ballplayers wouldn't be allowed to play in the major leagues, then they would make their own. He founded what would be called the Negro Leauges, a professional league for Black baseball players. The Negro Leagues would feature some of the best baseball players to ever live, but unfortunately their names have faded away with time. Players like Bob Gibson, Satchel Paige and Buck O’Niel broke all kinds of records in their time in a league that at its peak was just as popular and challeng- ing as the Majors. But you won't find them in most base- ball history books. When the Negro Leagues disbanded in the 1960s after the color bar- had been broken in the majors, the Negro Leagues slowly started to fade away from the minds and memories of many American baseball fans. Until today. Now, the Negro Leagues is once again making a return to the cen- ter stage, but this time in the form of a video game. rier The 2023 edition of the base- ball video game “MLB The Show” features a brand new game mode centered around the Negro Leagues. The mode takes you through the base- ball careers of multiple Ne- gro League legends like Hank Tompson, Hilton Smith, John Donaldson and many more. Throughout the mode, you get to play as these characters in simulated games, giving you a front row seat to these leg- ends' most defining career moments. The importance of this game mode cannot be overstated. Education about the Negro Leagues, and just Black people in baseball, has for a long time been non-exis- tent. You’d be shocked to find out how many of our young Black ballplayers don't even know who Jackie Robinson is. This game mode will undeni- ably serve as a powerful ed- ucation tool for our younger generation. My hope with this game mode is that maybe, just maybe, the rich history of Black people in baseball can finally be brought into the light. | feel that once this country learns more about the Negro Leagues, we Can fi- nally learn that baseball isn’t a white man’s game, or even a Black man’s game for that matter.

Show moreARTS & CULTURE Important Talks on KAUG Radio: Chance Reiniesch Augsburg students have always been a crowd with strong opin- ions and even stronger passions for causes that they care about. From orchestrating protests — both inside and outside campus — to amplifying important voic- es and stories that need telling to the public, and even helping build a strong community. One of the ways students have been able to achieve their goals is through the media, one of which being KAUG radio here on cam- pus. Film major and musician Chance Reiniesch started his own radio show with KAUG titled “Culture Collective,” where he and a vary- ing number of guests facilitate engaging and powerful conver- sations about various creative communities throughout’ the Twin Cities, specifically looking at these topics through a “left- ist, queer lens,” as stated by Reiniesch. When asked why he started the show, Reiniesch went on to state, “[It] was partially as a creative outlet, as well as a way to uplift underrepresented voices and local artists.” Most, if not all, of Reiniesch’s guests are artists themselves across all types of mediums and located all over the Twin Cit- ies, some of whom are close friends and/or collaborators of his. He emphasized the reason for choosing the guests was not only for their personal connec- tion but for their differing per- spective and the genuine belief 6 ECHO APRIL 2023 Percy Bartelt staff writer of its importance to a public circuit. Reiniesch himself is an artist of different mediums: a popular filmmaker within the film department, an amazing mu- sician and now he can add radio show host to his list of artistic titles and feats. Reiniesch also noted that a ra- dio show is certainly different from other artistic mediums that he’s used to create his very per- sonal and vulnerable art. Howev- er, KAUG was still an excellent place to express himself, his val- ues and philosophies, as well as speaking with others that have their own outlooks and perspec- tives. He stated, “It allows me to have academic and informed conversations about the crafts | am so passionate about in an ef- fort to further advance the field, beyond the work | do in those mediums.” Like Reiniesch explained himself, a radio show like this is a neces- sity when it comes to uplifting voices that otherwise wouldn’t have been heard, raising aware- ness to certain topics within the Twin Cities art community and even shouting out local artists that deserve to have their works recognized by a wider audience. Artists support other artists, ac- tivists support their passion and Chance Reiniech combines the best of both worlds. Coming this Tuesday, April 18 at 6 p.m. will be Reiniesch’s final segment where he will be talk- ing about Minnesota Jewish art and the community surrounding that topic, so tune into KAUG’s Twitch channel to watch the con- versation live! Lastly, Reiniesch thanked KAUG for their help and implored everyone to start their own radio show, should they feel this same passion: “I’ve been very lucky to feel so safe in facilitating intimate conver- sations. My advice would be to choose a topic or segment that you both feel passionate about and have the agency to talk about. Be true to yourself!” Wise words from beloved local artist Chance Reiniesch!

We saw this yet again, for example, when Steve Drazkowski said, “Ihave yet to meet a person in Minnesota that is hungry,” on the floor of the Senate. Draz- kowski is a Republican sena- tor from Mazeppa, a small town located north of Roch- ester. | think that says all you need to know about him, and he probably hasn’t talked to very many of his constituents that are very likely struggling with food insecurity. Luckily, the DFL finally flipped the Senate, and with the House and Governor re- maining under Democratic control, these changes can finally take place. Even with- out Republicans in the way, many of these successes that are so-called “landmarks” are overdue investments in Min- nesotans. Even with these accomplish- ments, there is still so much to be done. Many potential legislative proposals are still on the table. Namely, the Leg- islature has to pass a budget bill to fund the state gov- ernment, but that’s already in the works — and ahead of schedule when compared to previous years. But the Leg- islature also has the opportu- nity to legalize recreational marijuana and expunge low- level drug offenses, establish paid family and medical leave to protect working Minneso- tans and their family mem- bers, end the tax on Social Security benefits to create income parity for our seniors and so much more. | hope our legislators lean into these proposals’ with the same vigor and atten- tion they’ve given the first 100 days of the legislative session. With five weeks left for them to finish their work at the Capitol, they have a lot ahead of them. But there is such a potential for even more, and | hope they take that challenge head-on. In the meantime, however, | am proud to call myself a Minne- sotan and feel lucky to live in this state.

Show moreFEATURES When the "Echo" became a "Whisper" On Dec. 9, 1969, the first edi- tion of a subsidiary organi- zation by the Echo was pub- lished. In their introduction statement, they explained the reason for creating this sepa- rate entity was to “continue Echo operations in the face of continuing budget [loss].” Al- legedly, the Echo was radical- izing quickly during this time, presumingly catching negative attention, and its confirmed by the 1971 yearbook that their budget suffered from a “student government financial disaster.” Thus, the Whisper, a collection of thin papers containing type-written = ar- ticles and handwritten ads, was born. In the spring, the Echo published three issues while the Whisper had 14. We haven’t heard the Whisper since. One year later, on Dec. 10, 1970, the Echo published its last issue of a very long year. The Vietnam War and all of Nix- on’s resulting decisions were regularly protested on and off campus. Speakers invited on campus included Lee Weiner, one of the Chicago 7, and vari- ous members of the Black Pan- ther party. There are reports of students making dummies labeled “Nixon,” “Mitchell,” etc. and burning them in ef- figy. A banner hung off the balcony of Christensen Cen- ter reading, “END THE WAR.” On the last page of their last issue, the Echo ran an ad for legal abortions in New York titled “Pregnant? Need Help?” Immediately, off-campus admin stopped distribution to Zully SOS@ executive editor avoid alumni, parents and Board of Regents members from see- ing the promotion. While those 300 copies of the publication were never delivered, it didn’t stop a thousand to be distrib- uted around campus into the hands of students and faculty. Word spread fast. News out- lets including the Star Tribune and WCCO-TV ran stories about the Echo’s halted mailing and backlash received. As expect- ed, most non-students reading the Echo were outraged. Back in the 50s, female students were required to have escorts when going off-campus. Alumni who remember that era couldn’t begin to tolerate the idea that young ladies of Augsburg would travel to New York to terminate a pregnancy. After everything that occurred on campus in the past year, an ad printed in a newspaper may not compare in our modern minds, but the Echo is a publication under Augs- burg’s name and that is where the line was drawn. Naturally, an apology from the Echo was expected. Steve Frantz, editor of the Echo at the time, called the ad a mis- take after seeing the press coverage and being informed about a “1909 statue in the penal code that prohibited such advertising.” In_ this statement he explained the staff had an interest “in pre- senting a topic that [would] perhaps be the first order of business in the next session of the legislature.” The bill that legalized abortion in New York at the time is considered a model for Roe v. Wade and required no proof of residency for the medical procedure be performed. It’s reported that 60% of women taking advan- tage of this bill came from out of state. Similar ads were run in other colleges newspa- pers, but as a very Christian establishment at the time it was an unignorable controver- sy at Augsburg. Frantz deliv- ered written pieces from local representatives with opposing views in the first issue of the PREGNANT? NEED HELP? PREGNANT? NEED HELP?

Show moreFEATURES "Whisper" (continued) spring semester, in his statement. as promised Judging from what has been put in the Lindell Library’s ar- chives, his statement wasn’t enough to save the budget. Perhaps it wasn’t seen as sin- cere enough, considering it was titled “OOPS!” We only have 10 issues of the Echo from 1971, far under its nor- mal 20+, and the labels in the archives lab lead me to be- lieve only around 12 were pub- lished. So, what happened? If the Echo lost a majority of its funding, it begs the ques- tion: Why not continue pub- lishing weekly by relying on the small budget needs of the Whisper? It’s’ possible they even could have gotten away with the abortion ad if it had been published there. The Whisper did not establish itself as an Augsburg publi- cation; you will not find the name on its cover - except for their first edition, which has the tagline “The Augs- burg Way of Death.” It’s un- clear whether it distributed off-campus, but it’s likely that the Whisper was just us- ing a local print shop to make mimeographs of the original copy made on typewriters in the Echo office, not sending anything to a printing press. They probably only had a cou- ple hundred copies of each is- sue to pass out. We only have copies of the Whisper from the spring semester of 1970, before the pregnancy ad and never makes another appear- ance. 10 ECHO APRIL 2023 Zully SOS executive editor The few times the Echo did come back that year, we can see it adopted some aesthetic choices and tone of the Whis- per. Covers are proud politi- cal cartoons that don’t shy away from bias or revolution- ary statements, articles have a little less care about who may disagree with them. This faded by January of 1972: the Echo again resembled a tradi- tional newspaper format. It’s possible that the Whisper faded away on campus for the same reason other passion projects do - graduation. Loss is the only option if there is no one to recognize the need or importance of something. This is the case for many good things on a university campus that cycles through its popula- tion every four years. Alterna- tively, it’s worth speculating that after Frantz’ graduation in 1972, the new editors of the Echo agreed not to con- tinue the Whisper and focus on hard journalism instead. In the Echo office today, we are missing copies of the Echo from 1969-1973. The Whisper has been seemingly forgotten, and no publishing choices have been nearly as controversial as the abortion ad of 1970. The Echo’s “good behavior” over the past 53 years is likely why we have a stable printing budget today. It’s about time we cash in! Creating a special edition is- sue has been in the back of my mind all three years I’ve spent on the Echo, and at the absolute last minute, it has fi- a SPER Tuesday, Decesher 9, 1969 Digital scan of first edition of the Whisper, obtained from Augsburg Archives Lab nally come together. The Echo is dedicated to high journalis- tic standards and giving cov- erage of various topics each week — it isn’t built to give the proper attention to larger so- cial issues happening. So the Whisper will be revived! The passion | read in the pages of the Whisper reminded me of the voices of classmates | talk to everyday, and | want to put some of it on paper like they did. The first edition of the Whis- per in this century focuses on the issue of displacement and can be found around campus next week. All saved editions of the Whisper, and the Echo in the early 1970s, can be found on the Augsburg Archives web- site. The 2023 edition of the Whisper will be available on- line on the Echo website.
