Show morefilmclipmmmt ron palosaari Guest columnist this week is Mark Depao/is who did this review —for Introduction to Cinema Arts class. 'The Sunshine Boys’ The humor in a Neil Simon comedy always gives me a special kind of emotion for his characters. He makes use of their ldiosyncracies and deficiencies like a sensitive caretaker, treating them gently while revealing how absurd their positions really are. lwasn't around for the heydays of vaudeville. All the same, through this story of two aging vaudeville comedians and their attempt at a short-lived reunion, Simon is able to communicate to me what I assume is the mystical aura of the pro-television entertainment industry. However. if the taste of the rise of vaudeville is nostalgically sweet, the view of the fallen stars of yesteryear is almost sad, saved only by the personalities and lifestyles Simon gives to his Boys. Willie Clark, the dour half of the old team, is portrayed by Walter Matthau as the perfectly arbitrary crotchety old man—a very beautiful performance, even if hauntingly suggestive of a decrepit Oscar Madison. He hides behind a shield of senility. and generally d ives everyone, even total strangers. to frustration-induced surrender. He is still bitter about the retirement he was forced into when the team of Lewis and Clark dissolved, and constantly reassures himself by half-heartedly looking for theatrical work and reading Variety that he is still in show biz. He displays this bitterness in his interactions with other people. in situations that are funny not because of Wille’s use of one of his countless one»|iner putdown gags. but in his insistance of his illusions and reluctance to face the details of the real world. As his partner will tell him, the problem with him is that he always took the jokes too seriously. Al Lewis is in almost every way the opposite of Willie. He too is getting older by the minute. but, despite the cries of Willie's anguished manager-nephew ("Oh my God, they‘re both the same") he is enveloped in a different kind of senility. He is much more genteel and gracious than Willie has ever been, perfectly contented to age in peace. George Burns would steal the movie from anyone but Matthau with his embodiment of the ‘cute old man' image, so touchingly that you are almost Willing to repeat things the three or four times necessary for meanings to sink in. He is spending his old age in the quiet country of New Jersey, living with his daughter and getting the respite he was looking for when he broke up the act on a gross understatement: "After 47 years and 11,000 shows, a man gets tired." Behind many of these scenes is a deeper level of motivation. Al and Willie discover that their ideas of themselves and their pasts are irrelevant. Through the years of the vaudeville stage they were the perfect f0i|s for each other, but the mechanism for this coordination was not in the act itself. but in the personalities of the Sunshine Boys. Their offstage relationship is really no different from their performance; only the reaction of the audience is missing. to the wonderment of Al. ("The man yells at me on stage, gets a million laughs. He yells at me off stage, he gets a heart attack“) This would be hard for anyone to accept. but eventually by the end of the film Al at least can partially come to grips—"Willie, after 47 years I can't tell which is the act and which is us. . . That these two were able to perform for 47 years under the name of the Sunshine Boys is amazing, because their times together were nothing but heavy thunderstorm activity and turbulent squalls that are founded on, according to Lewis, selfishness and resentment. and according to Clark, sheer hatred. Yet Lewis and Clark as a team are remembered for their ability to perform almost as one, each knowing precisely what the other was inticipating and exactly when to react for the greatest possible laugh value. When they are first reunited, traces of this symbiotic relationship come to the surface right away. and each of them rises to a slightly higher level of awareness from the depths of old age. but whether the motivation behind this honing of instinct IS that old black magic again or just the intensity of the hatred in the air is hard to say. The old act itself is the fast-paced, farcical. knee~slapping breast ogling comedy that was the backbone of vaudewlle. Even though the famed ‘Doctor sketch' is being performed for the television cameras in a rehersal, once the skit is in progress the camera does not move or shift. but allows the stage its rightful place by viewing the scene as would the audience of a theatre on broadway. For this short time. the presence of vaudeVille that permeates the film from the opening credit backdrops to the slowly darkening spotlight ending is at its climax. and the fledgling television industry has no choice but to bow to its mentor. Once the large-scale production number of televi5ion is put in its place. the only other glimpses of the tube. a potato~chip commercial and a soap opera. become less than the garbage they were meant to be. To Willie‘s long-suffering nephew Ben (atypical Richard Beniamin character. strivmg against adversityl the televi5ion is the only hope for a springboard of sorts to launch a meagre comeback for his uncle. at least into some kind of work in front of some kind of audience. what he fails to realize is that his uncle is yearning for the glories of the past. and cannot settle for a mere substantial existence in the present It's probably the combination of good actors in good roles that gives me the Neil Simon fulfillment feeling I have when I come away from one of his stories. Even though nothing has been changed in the Situation. l rest assured that the new in5ights and the relaxed animosmes between the Sunshiners Will give them a more peaceful life. still secure in their memories. but without the angUish of what—shouldmavebeen Apr. 9. 1976 “Godspell” continues its run at the Augsburg Little Theatre with performances today and tomorrow at 8:00 p.m., Sunday at 3:30 pm. and Monday and Tuesday at 8:00pm. Admission is free to Augsburg students. —Photo by Jim Purdham 'Godspeli’ - child’s play By RUSS MEYERS Fine Arts Editor Viewing last Friday‘s opening production of Godspell left me reeling With deia vu. After a moment's reflection I placed the feeling: The Little Theatre had been transformed into a Sunday School. Based on the Book of St. Matthew, the play—or child‘s play—revolves around a passage from the Bible in Mark 10 Whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." The opening-night audience seemed to enjoy the spark and spontaneity of the players. Timothy L. Caris, as Jesus Christ. displayed a lot of energy for the rest of the cast to focus upon. The audience. though, must have been absorbed into his innocent, other- worldly eyes. As an extremely expressive player. he disappointed me only in his John Wayne and army sergeant impersonations. which I would prefer to see abandoned for a more Chaplinesque. more Sincere humor. as in the antics of Ed Saxton, Although his diSCIples tended to let the candid celebration lapse into sentimental indulgence. the play was balanced by the innocent generosity of Dorothy Korpela. the honest energy of Karla Krantz or Dan Cassada. and the disciplined. powerful vocals of Janet Anderson. Unfortunately. the cast doesn i come through with collective vocal strength until near the end. in “We Beseech Thee " Even brotherhood may have its problems. such as lack of self-reliance or indiVidual strength. Or it could be the result of followmg a Christ Who's not a trained Singer. Yet l believe the players Will grow more confident than I saw them on opening night-expeCially if future audiences repeat the standing ovation. Debbie Bruce seemed to have this selfeassurance. As a revivalist minister or a temptress. she shows style The same talents appear in Jacalyn Rose Knight. whose tempting v0ices and Withering looks appeared to grip the audience. Choreography seemed to follow through in the children-at-play context. Choreographer Kerry Casser» ly uses movements from the mowe Godspell along With a few Jazz squares and a multitude of Twyla Tharp-like stomps, The orchestra seemed to play well and enter at the proper moments under the guidance of PatriCia Siegfried. Director Ailene Cole uses blocking and props in both ingenious and standard ways. A huge wooden spool works spectacularly With the group of bounding players, 80 does a frisbee and a piece of artificial turf But a general overabundance of props (I felt) tended to undermine the play’s SimpIICIty—espeCIally when Tim Caris and Tom Zarth must hold canes to perform movements that merely resemble a dance I feel that too many props tend to do the work for the players. instead of With the players But Doree Johnson Lori M.

Show moreWomen’s sports Dear Editor: We were hoping we wouldn’t have to write a letter this year, especially after the excellent coverage we had last year, but you really screwed up again. After four years here at Augsburg I can honestly say some things never change. When I arrived as a freshman the women‘s sports coverage was zero and now as a senior it‘s still zero! I understand the sports editor had trouble finding reporters to cover our games. This is a problem, but it is still the responsibility of the editors (even if they have to sacrifice their own time) to cover our games. it's a shame that the only way anything gets done at this school is by complaining. Last year we were “all over" you newspaper people because of the way you ignored us. Finally we started getting the coverage we deserve. This year we kept quiet. The coverage reflects this. I hope you realize you wiped out the memories a scrapbook full of Echo articles could have brought. Please have the courtesy to print this entire letter so we have one worthwhile article from the Echo to put in our scrapbook: Augsburg volleyball team—second in the state, fifth in the region——that means fifth out of 160 teams in 7 states. Augsburg basketball—Yes we had a season—three months worth. Augsburg gymnastics team—Laurie Shull qualified to go to Regionals. Augsburg track team—Yes, we had one! If you ever came over to the women's dept. you would find out. Augsburg softball—Did you know we play fastpitch? Cindy Schendal Marilyn Pearson Carol Chamberlain Sue Donart Concerns group Dear Editor: Upon reading last week's ECHO article, “We're not in an ivory tower!“, several people have expres- sed concern that the “intent” of what was stated in the interview with me should not be misunderstood. Since I agree with these concerns, I will try to respond to each. The recent effort in organizing the S. 1. “Teach—in" Convocation was not just my own individual effort. Rather, these related activities represent a collective effort shared by many people. Even though I helped to initiate and organize this focus, it is important to realize that such credit is deserved by many people. As a group concerned about social actions. we hope to continue these efforts in the future. Our style is one which is “group centered“ and encourages the active leadership and participation by everyone involved. Rather than try to create another committee or organization on campus, we have sought to create a variety of ways to inform and involve people within the Augsburg Community on a particular issue or concern. The subtitle “Concerns group looking for issues” is also misleading. We are not a group looking for issues, because the issues already exist. However. what is needed is a way of identifying and expressing these concerns as they affect people on campus—both nationally and locally, Our intentions as a group are to help create and maintain this focus. The idea behind “Teach-in" Convocations is to provide a forum to include both national and local issues. The current 8.1. legislation now before Cuiigiess is but one example of a national concern. Locally, it is important to under- stand how issues affect Augsburg College as an institution. For example, the recent institutional trend through- out the country to re-evaluate innovative models of learning is one example of how a national issue can take on a local concern. As an educational institution, we at Augsburg College should become aware of what this means for us. Both the Internship and CHR programs are not “academic frills," per se, as l stated in the article, but are important innovative components of our liberal arts education which should not be done away with, I don‘t expect that everyone will agree with the focus of certain issues, nor do I expect agreement with some of the positions people hold. see STUDENT, page 7 Forty years ago, Augsburg students were just as concerned with making 0ends meet and keeping the business . office content as we are today. : The majority of students were forced I to seek part-time employment, and as :now. these occupations were varied. :And we can see. in the mind of one :ECHO reporter at least. that the 0women's movement was already . becoming a reality.

" : And that's the way it was . . . March : 1936. . Q cheesigq Ever hear a loud, robust burst of laughter all the way across campus? if you have, chances are good that it belonged to Augsburg junior Chuck Gabrielson. This 6‘2" blond, with smiling face and perennial bib-overalls has become a familiar face around campus. As a political science major from Litchfield, Chuck is actively involved in all levels of politics from local to national. At Augsburg, he has been on the housing committee for two years, served as vice-chairman of the student advisory committee for the political science department, was a student body presidential candidate last year, and ran for men's on-campus Judicial Council representative this year. On the state and national level, Chuck is serving as a county chairman for Ronald Reagan's '76 presidential campaign, and is also a delegate to the Minnesota convention of the Republican party. Fulfilling requirements for his major, Chuck has also served two internships at the Minnesota House of Representatives, the most recent as chief»intern to the director of research for the minority caucus. Avidly interested in music, Chuck is a member of the Augsburg choir, and serves as their student intern manager; right now he is busy helping plan their spring tour. In addition to singing in the choir, he is also a paid section leader and soloist at the Lynhurst Congregational Church In South Minneapolis. When asked about his future educational and occupational plans Chuck stated. “I've learned not to worry about what the future holds in store for me. l say that that's God problem and not mine. l'm sure He'll do a Chuck Gabrielson better job than I would." Bill Wolfe The Augsburg College Food Service employs many people, students as well as residents outside the college community. One of these people is Bill Wolfe. Bill's title of “production manager“ could imply many things, but basically his duties revolve around the bakery division of the kitchen. He supervises 24 people, mostly student workers, who help with the preparation of the many breads, pies, and pastries that are consumed dailv. Part of Bill‘s duties include calculating the amount of a certain bakery goods needed for a particular meal. For example, if 500 people were expected for an evening meal, Bill would prepare the amount of dinner rolls accordingly, Bill began working at Augsburg after graduating from South High School in Minneapolis in 1973. He started out as a regular worker in the bakery, and gradually was promoted to the position of production manager. He enjoys the work, and also likes working with the students. He has gotten to know many students because Food Service employs a large number of college workers. Although Bill's job involves working inside, his real interests are in the outdoor world. He enjoys swimming. biking, horseback riding, and, above all, skiing. Throughout the winter months Bill spends much of his time skiing, and has a real enthusiasm and love for the sport. Bill also has several artistic interests. He writes poetry, and enjoys sculpture, which he works on in the art studio. He works mainly in abstract themes, particularily those involving sculptures of people. As for his future. Bill may possibly pursue a career in interior design. He has been interested in the field‘since ninth grade. and although he has had no formal training, he has read many books on the subject, and helped a friend design and decorate her apartment. For the present, however, Bill is content in his work at Augsburg and although the future holds ‘different interests and careers for him, his statement “I like being my own boss" Sums up why he likes his present job.

Show moreLeaving school "People who cancel" says Thoni “are reacting more to problems of the moment." Their problems include emotional, physical and personal problems. Says Thonl, “People who leave between terms are different from people who leave during mid-term." They leave, he believes, due to changes in their plans and to a smaller extent, dissatisfaction with the college. Recently, the Urness Tower RA’s conducted a survey in connection with Thoni's study. The survey deter- mined how many current freshman will not return to Augsburg next fall, as well as the dissatisfaction these and other freshman feel with the college in general. To illustrate the surveys findings, ECHO questioned 17 of the 36 students who do not intend to come back to Augsburg. All the following quotes are the opinions of the students questioned Of the 219 freshman now living in Urness, the survey found, 36 will not be back in the fall. Among the 36 leaving, 20 are transferring, two will be working, and two felt they were not yet ready for college. The survey revealed some dissatis- faction with the curriculum. Twenty- seven of the 219 freshman felt classes were limited in variety and times. Said one student. “class selection is low. There are not that many majors to choose from." Said another student, “The interim class selection isn't the greatest." Eight said they are leaving because Augsburg has no nursing facilities. Fourteen freshman the RA survey found, disliked the college require- ments. Eight specifically wanted lab credit in science and music programs. Seven felt Augsburg has a lack of facilities. One student said he felt Augsburg has “poor music facilities and the ‘Little Theatre’ is too little." in the area of professors and classes, nine students believe teaching methods are bad. One felt that “teachers expect you to already know how to do the subject, otherwise you shouldn't be in the class." Six students had problems with the business department specifically. According to one student the “Busines department stinks." Three students had problems, they felt, with the Political Science department, three with Biology, two with the English and two with the Spanish departments. Of the students dissatisfied with housing, 30 wanted more facilities or options. One student suggested “Augsburg should try to improve the housing situation. that‘s something that no student should really have to worry about.“ Thirteen students were dissatisfied with the food service or the board plan. Five freshman disliked the lottery and three disliked the dorm. it is now common for students to take a break from college. Thcni believes “There is a problem we communicate to students that there is a problem if they leave.“ One student echoes that idea, saying. "If students feel that they can get back into the school life. then they Apr. 9. 1976 Continued from page / should take a year off when they feel time is needed." According to another freshman, a break "may give a student's college education more meaning." Augsburg‘s goal in reducing student attrition, claims Thoni, is to make sure that students don’t leave for the wrong reasons. “A right reason,” he believes “is when a student is moving toward something they feel is positive for themselves." A wrong reason is when the student “has no alternatives but (is) leaving anyway.” Since student attrition is the result of many of the same factors over the years, recommendations of the 1972 study may also apply to the present problem. The study suggested that three areas be studied further including student financial problems, “the interaction between the student and the college melleu," and “purposes and functions of a private liberal arts education." Thoni suggested three other steps the college can take. Augsburg can telephone students who don't register, reminding them to do so; they can try to interview every student who leaves to find out why; and finally, they can attempt to liberalize the traditional college assumption that leaving college is always bad. One student suggested the school “listen to student voices and act on improvements that they want and be willing to change." Other students offered suggestions. Most centered around expansion of student facilities. Several students felt that a fine arts center should be constructed. Better classroom facilities and recreational facilities such as tennis courts and swimming pools were also suggested. According to Thoni, “There is little that one person, or one group of people can do to really help make students stay. But the college should, make it's education as exciting as possible.” Two more career nights planned A “Career's Night for History and Political Science Majors” will be held April 22 in the Colleg" Center. There will be two sessions, with a history session at 7 pm. in the Century Room and a Political Science session at 8 pm. in the Marshal Floom. Common careers for both majors will be discussed in joint sessions from 7:30—8 pm. in the Century Room and from 8:30—9 p.m. in the Marshal Room. According to coordinator Lori Hasslinger. “This is an opportunity for students to meet with professionals from various fields and to discover future career possibilities." Speakers will discuss the challenges of finding jobs. getting into and through graduate school and a variety of other topics.

There are over 275 chapters at colleges throughout the country. In Dr. Hanwick's honor, the Physics Department has established the Theodore J. Hanwick Physics Scholar- ship Fund. Formal announcement of the scholarship will be made during the evening. Class delves into sludenl curiosity By STEVE LlEN Staff Writer Got a hole in next semester's registration? Trying to fill it with something interesting? Speech 98355 “Group Leadership and Discussion“ might be just what you’re looking for. This upper division speech course, taught by Dr. Esther Olson is fascinating, stimulating, and maybe most of all, contemporary. Dr. Olson's philosophy of “learning while doing" has created aclass that is full of lively discussion and heated debate on topics like the Unification Church, transcendental meditation, Scientology, and Satanism and the occult. Students in the class select the topics of greatest personal interest and then begin an indepth investigative process which often involves inter- viewing people, viewing films, reading books, or even going to places like a Children of God commune. The results of their investigation and subsequent “enlightened” opin- ions are then presented to the class in the form of panel discussions, symposiums, and dialogues, all of which allow and encourage animated debate among all the students. Guest speakers are also an integral part of the course. People like the Minnesota treasurer for the Unifica— tion Church, and a “distraught parent“ actively opposed to the church are among those called on as resource people. Dr. Olson feels that one of our main problems is an unthinking and uncritical public, an ill that can render our governmental system ineffective. She feels that "a democracy cannot operate without an educated citizen— ry” and she hopes that her class can combat such an inadequacy among her students and better equip them to be well informed, involved citizens. Concerns group Continued from page 4 Yet, I believe that an important application of our critical and creative thinking abilities can be realized as we take the initiative to voice our concerns and address ourselves to what's happening in our world today.

Show moreAuggie nine could be real sunshine boys By DIRK ABRAHAM Sports Editor Augsburg's baseball team was as hot and cold as the weather last weekend, as they were just nipped 21 by the University of Minnesota in 70-degree weather on Friday. but in Saturday's near-arctic 40—degree breezes, they were trounced 14-0 by a St. Cloud team that had won only one previous game. On Friday at Bierman Field, Coach Edor Nelson's squad came very close to it's first win ever over the Gophers, even though it was Augsburg‘s first game, and the Gophers were already 8-3 following a trip to Texas. Bill Flaadt turned in an excellent job on the mound for Augsburg, scattering nine hits and recording four strike-outs. He gave up one run in the fifth inning on consecutive doubles by Mike Schultz and Tom Mee, and another run came in in the sixth when Schultz greeted reliever Chris Geason with a two—out single after two men had got on with scratch singles, prompting Raadt's departure. For Augsburg, the only run came in the top of the seventh and final inning, with catcher Mark Strandemo knock- ing in Dick Sviggum with a single down the left field line. For Intramural new: in all three broomball leagues, tight races have been the rule of thumb so far. Five teams are tied for the A»|eague lead with 2-1 records, while in B-league, Tim Jawor’s team is narrowly ahead with a 3-0 mark, as three other teams are at 2-1. In C—league, the Gamers have a 3—0 record, but Kevin Peterson‘s team is at 2—0—1 and three others are at 21. In scoring, Dan Boljanovich, Dave Lane and Jim Roof have all scored six goals.

Righthander Torn Regouski threw four innings of perfect ball for St. Cloud, striking out 10 in the process, and Augsburg’s only hit came from sub shortstop Rog Fitzloff in the last inning off reliever Jay Ness. Meanwhile, a succession of Auggie pitchers were being overcome by the cold, their own wildness. and some erratic fielding from their teammates.

They are: Scott Hokenson, a sophomore from Waseca, Jan Johnson, a junior from South St. Paul, and Karen Pfeifle, a junior from Crystal. SPAN is a joint venture of the University of Minnesota and nine other colleges in the state. Each year, three or four countries are selected and qualified students are granted partial scholarships enabling them to spend a summer of informal study in one of the countries chosen. The SPAN program consists of three stages: language study and group meetings at the U of M on school year week—ends during the year before departure, independent study abroad on a topic of one's choice during the following summer, and the writing of a paper upon return. This year's students have shown a wide range of interests. Hokenson. a biology and possibly (Stu— Scott Hokenson Spanish major, will be traveling to the Dominican Republic.

Turkey is the country in which Jan Tuesday is Suzuki nigh By CAROL DUBOVICK Staff Writer Twenty violin players taught by the Suzuki method will be joining the Augsburg College Orchestra in concert on Tuesday at 8 pm. in Si Melby. The violinists are members of the White Bear Lake Suzuki Players. This method of violin instruction was developed in Japan by a man named Suzuki. Students of the Suzuki method do not read music, are coached by their parents and begin instruction when they are 21/2-years old. Andrew Duckwall, White Bear Lake Elementary School string instructor, claimed that out of his 200 students, only one-half are true Suzuki students. Because Duckwall has only been with the school for two and one—half years, many of his students were too old when they began taking lessons. The ages of those performing on Tuesday will range from five to 15-years-old. None of them have taken more than three years of lessons. Lack of parental cooperation has also resulted in a breakdown of the Suzuki method, according to Duckwall. “Once the parents get totally into the program, though, they find it works," he said. The parents' role is to watch the student practice and coach him/her on fingerings and bow positions. Duck— wall coaches the parents as to what they should look for. Duckwall stated, “The parents don't have to be violinists. It doesn't make a notable difference in their youngster‘s per- formance." Duckwall does not teach his students to read notes or key signatures. All learning is done by ear. The students figure out the fingerings and notes by listening to records at home. Added Duckwall, “Reading is a means, not an end." According to Duckwall, “The Suzuki method teaches self-discipline by requiringthe student to concentrate on details for lengths of time. It also teaches poise as well as the enjoyment of music, which is learned by doing something well." The White Bear Lake Suzuki Players will play the “Vivaldi Concerto in A Minor" with the Augsburg Orchestra. They will also play eight other short Student symposium announced The Student Senate and the office of Augsburg president Dr. Oscar Ander- son announce the availability of partial support for a student from the Augsburg campus to attend the Bicentennial National Student Sym- posium of the Center for the Study of the Presidency in Washington.

Concerning the selections, Duckwall stated. “Rather than stressing the difficulty of the music, the Suzuki method stresses the quality of the performance." The players will not be using any music during the performance, because they will play by memory. “Not every student will play every song. only the songs that they know," explained Duckwall. The players also will not be directed, since Duckwall will play with them. i") BANK of MINNEAPOLIS 606 24th Avenue South Minneapolis.
