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

Pres» ident must report to Student Society at least twice during his term in off— ice, President also has power to speak for Student Society when he is the official representative of Student Society. 3 Only 5 commissioners are included whereas there used to be 7. '0 Executive Council members now includes President, Vice—President, Treasurer, and 5 commissioners. (Treasurer was not a member before. ) It also is now more like a Cabinet where the President can get suggest- tlons for the programs and reactions about ideas. Every President needs this kind of advisory help and coordin— ation of the programs for the year. 5) Sections describing the job of the Secretary and Treasurer have been added. 0 Judicial Council includes 5 students instead of 3 and so there need be no change in the faculty constitution; Page Nine also that a chairman be appointed at a meeting during fall term. '1) The quorum needed at a Student Society meeting was changed to 15% of the Student Society (instead of a sim— j)le majority). 9) The faculty approval of the student constitution was ommitted. In conclusion this constitution as well as changes in the by—laws (that will be reported at a later date) will 0e voted on by Student Council and iopefully given to Student Society for ‘gheir approval in the general election March 20. If approved this constitu-~ tion will be the legal document of Stu- dent Society until such times as the _C_harter is ready for operation.

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

Show moreory beture one receives no hint as to what he was thinking before he said it. He often studied the audience like an actor trying to decide how to deliver a certain line in order to get a desired response. At one very dramatic point in his lecture, Gregory said, "At five years old, I knew the pusher, the pimp and the prostitute. At eight, I had seen the pusher, the pimp and the pros- titute turn all their tricks for the po- liceman. How are we supposed to rev— spect policemen when they let people like that run free in our communities ?" At this point there was an empathetic shout of "thank you" from a young wo— man in the audience who identified strongly with Gregory's childhood ex— perience. From my vantage point, I could see that Gregory was pleased at this reaponse and it gave him an added incentive to continue his explora- tions of the Black neighborhood. Many people agree that the only inconsistency in his lecture came at the end when he said, "If you liked this talk, I have an album entitled the Light and Dark Side of Dick Gree— gory. Please don't call me or write me. Just go to the record store and buy it. " Here he deviates from his image of the man who is larger than life, who needs only distilled water to exist. Here is where we realize that even Dick Gregory is a capitalist to the extent that we all need capital to live. Perhaps this contradiction in character serves as a reminder that Gregory is human and not super human, which is a comforting thought. ,\-..,.. , Page Eleven AUGS The Auggie Cagers topped off at winning week with a 106—76 victory over Hamline last Saturday night. At Hamline Dick Kelly led the Aug— sburg scoring with 31 points followed by Bruce Wessman and Dave Lehrke with 14 and 13 points. As a team Aug- sburg shot 58 per cent from the floor.

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

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

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

The field is open to all qualifying students who care to involve them- selves to more intense platitudes without impairing their role in struc- tured life and their convalescent, sagarianistically oriented viewpoints. The position was announced through- )ut the entire upper midwest area in church bulletins. At the filing deadline only two men had filed. the estimual encumbent Thomas V. Hart and the incopetomous independent Jim Grossman. As is customary in political races, the Honorable Thomas Hart and the challenger, Jim Grossman (former National TCC Chairman) debated each other on the main campaign issues contained in their two platforms. The Honorable Thomas Hart, following the lead of other incumbents, chose to stand on his record, Gross- man introduced what is referred to as his Platform-8. The great debate took place in the depths of the secular l i l a l [1 city of Augsburg Room on the small campus of Augsburg J. C. . The ap- pointed time was 7:30. Hart arrived at 7:15 with his immediate staff, the Macalester debate team and the swim- ming coach from Hamline, who was helping the incumbent with his breath- ing. The photographers and sound men had been setting up since 6:30 and now were ready. Hart had taken his position at the table and was waiting, and still breathing. Mrs. Doloris Standsby, the mediator, was standing ever alert at the speaker's podium adorned with an official AFL striped officials jersey and whistle. A half hour later, Grossman arriv- ed and breathlessly greeted the oposi- tion with the universal cry of brother- hood and companionship: EE-AW- KEE! An embarrassed Donovan Lundeen stood up and rushed out followed by a group of 30 high school seniors who were being introduced 10 the Augsburg . that exists only in the minds of admi- ssions officers, college yearbooks and other non-existing entities. A CBS film crew ga110ped after Lundeen to film his activities for a 3 minute color Special on moral degradation. Grossman apologized for being late, stating that he couldn't find his mis-placed sunglasses. Hart approa- ched Grossman and tore the glasses from the top of Grossman's head,

"Head Cheerleader Hart, with the intense growth rate of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area the problems of adequate transpo'rtation grow ever more accute. Yet the rapid transit authorities in this area have said that their present system is outdated, im- practical, inadequate and financially unfeasible and that as a private enter- prise they can not survive. May we hear your comments. " HART: "Thank you Mrs. tandsby, good citizens, unworthy Opponent. I Page Eleven have just one brief comment to make concerning tranSportation complica- tions and I want to be perfectly under- stood. When I was a boy I used to be able to ride the buses all the way into St. Paul for only a dime. One morn- ing I woke up and the rates had been increased to fifteen cents. An in- crease of five percent over night. To- day the same trip would have cost me thrity-five cents, another seventy- five percent increase in bus fares in just a few short years. The trans- portation problems in our Metropol- itan area are not as bad as they are in other major cities in the United States. Last November while I was in Omaha for the all important con- gress on air pollution or driver's safety or acrobatic water skiing or something, I asked one of the local bus drivers what the fare would be to Paul and he figured it to be at least two dollars forty seven cents with countless transferes. But why should our fair TWin Cities succumb to a degenerate transportational sys— tem such as theirs. In conclusion my stand on rapid transit remains the same as it has al- wavs been. I am opposed and always will remain opposed to rapid transit. Tests by valid, sanctioned sources have repeatedly shown that a bus trav- eling 60 mph uses twenty-five percent more fuel than a bus traveling safely at 40 mph and such a savings could be reciprocated to the public who pat- ronize their services. " STAN: "Thank you Head Cheerleader Hart. And now Mr. Grossman the Continued On Page Twelve.

When there seems to be a chance to break these elements down into small problems and solve them bit by bit, we muster up all our strength and But, by and large, we ignore those problems that do not seem to have a solution. Fre- quently, these are the problems that lie most deeply rooted in our minds, the problems that cause a great deal. of tossing and turning in our beds. If we stop to think for a moment, we can name a thousand or more enigmas of this type. But one of these puzzles of life is most pressing. It sums up all the problems that the younger gen- eration has today, and that is the prob— lem of living here. Perhaps it would help to clarify the problem so that we may better attempt to solve it, at least in part. Age old as it may seem, there was never a time in history that com- pares to ours so far as alienation is concerned. As usual, the young peo- ple are actively involved in furthering or eliminating this problem, depend- ing upon which faction you as an indi- vidual support. Living on earth is not as easy as it may seem, and young people realize this. Consider first the rend in rela-

Show morei 1 _But now that the bullets are being shot Page Thirteen at U. S. citizens in their own communities, mostly young people, there can be no rapport until the establishment disarms itself. This is how young people feel today. _ Look at the alienation, the enormous hole, that this situation causes. How can there be any meaningful living taking place in a world where there is this kind of turmoil? The problem does not end with the young versus the old. It begins there. The train of confusion moves from there to the less obvious conflict of youth versus itself. There is much talk of the salvation that young people will bring with them as they grow into adult- hood. But this salvation is wishful thinking. The younger generation must begin to understand that the phrase "come together" means spiritually. There are many good examples of young people coming together for a short period of time. The Democratic convention and the subsequent violence that surrounded Chicago did much to pull opposing factionsof young people together. For the first time young white radicals were exposed to the same type of repression and insane rage that Blacks have been subjected to. For the first time they were forced to see the real enemy face to face, in living color, with a can of mace in one hand, a billy club in the other, and a snout as long and ugly as the history of America it— self. This realization brought thousands of white youngsters to their senses and undeserving organization it loses its meaning, and therefore it becomes oblolete. Continued on Page Fourteen tionships between young and old. looked. at from both points of view, this problem is disturbing. The sochty is split between those in power, who are, for all intents and purposes 01d, and those who desire power, who are generally young. The image that imme- diately comes to mind is that of a gigan— tic tug of war between young and old. Nixon can not relate to the message of the Beat--a message of foreboding and at the same time, hope-—and Nixon does not want to relate to that message. In his television address on November 3rd, he did not take the time to heal the scar between the young and old. His only reference to young people was a rather curt remark about dissen- ters and how they were simply encour— aging the enemy. His speech was ad- dressed to that group of mute puppets known as the silent majority and he did not seem to have any desire to say anything relevant to the young. Yet, any young people, truly interested in the fate of their country, which is the overwhelming majority of young peo- ple, was rivited in front of the T. V. set that night, if it was at all possible. On the other hand, Allen Ginsberg and Eldridge Cleaver cannot relate to Nixon, who has become their symbol of "pig repression" in this country. Cleaver refers to Ronald Reagan as 'Mickey Mouse' and those who are hip to what is happening in California today are inclined to agree with that. Nixon's message is interspersed with gun fire and napalm. Some people can relate to that. Those who get rich off of napalm can certainly relate to it.

Show morePage Fourteen caused them to join hands with their black brethrenand form a ring of mu.- tual protection. ' . » But the conflicts between "straights" and "hips", freaks and flops is one that still continues. If young people are divided now into these catagories, what is going to happen as they grow older? As most young people know, the older one gets the less receptive one is to change. With age comes stubborness and a sense of security about one's life style. So it is clear that young people had better change before they get much older. The concept of "do your own thing" can not apply here. Some people's thing consists of preven— ting others from doing their thing. The Klu Klux Klan, for example, will not be tolerated if they should decide to do their thing on my lawn. Young people generally agree that doing one's thing should be tolerated as much as possible. But this only leads to a continuation of the power struggle. In fact, it intensifies the power struggle because now selfish organizations like theKKK and the American Legion can ' hide behind the very phrase invented by young people to stop repression. Stoksly Carmichael said that when Lyn- don Johnson used the phrase "We shall overcome" on National T. V. , the Civil Rights movement died. The same is true with "do your own thing". The minute that phrase is anolied to some undeserving organization it loses its meaning, and therefore it becomes ob- solete. . The contradictions that are obv10us in this discussion of the problem is precisely the problem itself: which way__ to turn. Every faction, every group, every thought, every word seems to lack the essential truth of love In fits of madness and despair, young people are crying out, "I can not love here any longer!" It is not a case of throwing in the towel. It is a case of being overwhelmed by contra- dictions, of being crushed by the lack of understanding on earth today. Even on small scales this lack of understand- ing on earth today. Even on small V scales this lack of understanding is enough to drive most people insane. Young people are reaching out des- perately for understanding even among their peer group. Frequently, there is no repsonse and these people end up trying to find love in acid or pot. _ There is no love in acid or pot. There is love in people, and if this love can only be revealed by using devices other then the natural mind and body, in that love is not worth having, This statement does not solve the problem. My point is that people find it necessary to cling to something, and that something might as well be other people. We need each other--all of us. The Problem of living here is a per— sonal one that affects us all. Because it affects us all, however, it is also a public problem. There is no frontier anymore. The moon is not accessible to most of us and if it were, who would want to live there? Our problem of living here must be solved through understanding and most of all, empha- tic love. Love is the last word. If we plan to love very long in this sea called Life, we had better find it- 5 through fusion.

Show morePage Fifteen season R by Jim Bodurtha "It was a different kind of year, " recalled Coach Ed Saugestad as he looked back upon this year's hockey season. Though the team's 6—8 season did not equal their 11-2—1 season last year, Coach Saugestad said, "everyone went 'very hard. " He added, "We were capable of winning all the games ex— cept the last one with Gustavus. " A major factor in the eight losses was Augsburg's low scoring percentage compared to its opponent's. A season average showed that the Auggies scored once for every 37 shots compared to one goal for every eight shots last year. To compound on the scoring de- ficit the defense was not as strong as in the past. Many of the players and Coach Saugestad felt that moving indoors to Golden Valley Ice Center hampered the team. Thought the ice in the Ice Center was much better than the ice on the old rink behind Melby Hall, it was impossible to practice on some nights because of schedule conflicts A with other group activities at the Ice Center. Next year the Augsburg hockey team will be without Al DeWolf, Terry Holmes, Greg Nelson, Steve Range, and Mick Thorstenson, all seniors, who will be graduating this year. Pat McCue and Dave Peterson will return to the Augsburg line-up next year af— ter sitting out much of this season. Nine freshmen will also be returning next year with one season under their belts. Coach Saugestad commented, "the Wilde, Halvorson, Lundgren line was one of the top freshmen lines on the conference. The returning team should make Augsburg strong in the next hockey season. Coach Saugstad's evaluation of the league was that it is becoming well balanced. "If you don't play a good game you will get beat.

Show morer“ ”'I ’ Page Sixteen MATMEN mu? MIAC CROWN by Terry Blue Augsburg's wrestling team collected four individual titles while fashioning it's third consecutive MIAC crown at the Macalester fieldhouse on February 21. The Auggies defeated St. Johns in the team race by an S7 to 76 margin thus aven- ging an earlier dual meet season 18-18tie. Team captain Mike Good was the only repeat champion for the Augs. He notched his third straight championship with a 7-0 decision over Carl Nord of Gustavus in the 134 1b. final. Soplimore Ron Johnson who was a runnerup in last year's meet gained the 142 lb. title with a 12-5 victory over Gust avus wrestler Mike Crofton. In the 150 lb. dividion , sophmore Pat Marcy "earned a name for himself”- to quote an anonymous source— by decisioning Gordon Molitor of St. Johns by a con- vincing 18—2 margin. Marcy wrestled so well in the tournament that he was named co-recipient (along with Condordia's Chuck Bishop) of the Carl Larson award as the outstanding wrestler in the tourney. Mark Mattison, a freshman from Lam- berton, Minnesota gained the Auggiesn fourth individual title by defeating Johns Dennis Leggatt 7-4. It was this victory that assured Augsburg of the team title. Freshman Scott Brown and junior Larry Stewart were runners-up for the Augs in the 118 1b. and 177 lb. weight classes reSpectively. Junior Bill Hickman and freshman Jeff Erickson each gained third place honors; Bill at 1261b. and Jeff at 1671b. Freshman Steve Dahlman rounded out Augsburg's place winners by gaining fourth in the 190 1b. At the beginning of the seasan coach Ron Pfeffer forecasted a "building" year for his team. In many respects this forecast held true. Team season would be a winning one and that it was I forecast held true. Team captain Mike Good said this season would be a winning and that it was. He also stated :hat this would not be the best year for the Auggieg but that there were better things to come in the near future. The record shows Augsburg did have its ups and downs. The Augs suffered disappointments at the All-Lutheran and NIAC tournaments but experienced satisfying triumphs at the St. Olaf— . Carlton and MIAC tourneys. In addi- tion Augsburg kept its dual meet un- beaten string alive. In summary, it was as satisfying I season in the face of greater than nor I mal adversity. The team overcame i numerous injuries, ineligibility of key personnal, and inexperience to fash— i ion a championship year.
