The article stated that while the student population had increased by 9%, the faculty had increased by 6%, and the administration by 86%. Recently. Wayne Pederson. Acting Vice-President of Finance at Augsburg, asked the ECHO to exnlain its statement regarding the administrative increase. Pederson gave the ECHO statistics and information which his secretary, Solveig Swendseid, had researched during a two and one-half week period. Pederson‘s ﬁgures showed only a 17% increase in administrative numbers since 1966.

His study included secretaries, Graphic Center staff, Data Processing staff, and the switchboard staff. Back in November, when ECHO did its research, a different methodology was used. ECHO excluded secretaries, Graphic Center staff, switchboard, and janitorial staff. The administrators which the ECHO originally counted in 1966 include the following: Phyllis Acker, Graduate Counselor: James Anderson. Admissions Counselor; Oscar Anderson, President of the College; Richard Berg, Business Manager; John Bostrom, Manager of Publications and Sports; Jeroy Carlson, Director of Alumni Relations; Eugene Ecklund, Purchasing Agent and Manager of Special Events; Elton Erdahl, Controller of Treasurer's Office; Borghild Estness, Recorder in Registrar's Office; Ruth Garbisch, Graduate Counselor; Sigvald V. Hjelmeland, Associate Director of Development; Irving Hoel, Manager of the Bookstore; Richard Holy, Director of Church Relations; Mark Johnson, Assistant Director of Admissions; Diane Logan, Bookkeeper in Treasurer's Ofﬁce; Donovan Lundeen, Director of Admissions; Doralie Maki, Bookkeeper and Accountant in Treasurer's Office; Tena Mehus, Clerk in Regstrar’s Office; John J. Salchert, M.D., College Physician: Donald Sorlien, Director of Public Relations; Irene Steenson, Administrative Assistant, Public Relations; Julie Thompson, Director of Student Activities; Michael Walgren, Manager of Music Organizations and Convocations. The total number of administrators originally counted was 23. But a recent re~count in the 1966 Auggie revealed more administrators. which were listed under the section entitled "Faculty". The eight additional administrators were: Kenneth Bailey, Dean of the College; Kenneth Fagerlie, Vice-President for Devel- opment; Burton Fosse, Vice-President for Business Affairs; Carl Hammarberg, Di- rector of Placement and Testing; Glen Johnson, Dean of Students; Fern Martinson, Associate Dean of Students and Dean of Women; Martin Quanbeck, Acting Registrar; Beverly Wegge, Assistant Registrar. With 31 administrators for 1966 and 43 for 1977, the increase is 38.7%. The ECHO apologizes if it misled readers. The 1977 Administrative staff which the ECHO counted includes the following 43 people: Charles S. Anderson, Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College: Oscar Anderson, President of the College; Abner Batalden, Development/Assistant to the Vice»President of Development; David Benzel, Director of Admissions; Lowell Brandt, College Pastor; Omer Bullert, Accountant in the Business Office: James Carey, Manager of the Ice Arena; Jeroy Carlson, Director of Alumni Relations and Development; Robert W.

Show moreUrness vandalism costs soared to over $11,000 in’76-’77, possibly higher this year By KATHY BROWN Staff Writer Upon returning to Augsburg after spending Interim away, laden with my traveling home (suitcases, a heavy box of books, skis. a pillow, and other miscellaneous garb) I punched the elevator button on the ground level of Umess and waited to be taken to my eighth floor abode. Ten minutes later, I was making the first of a number of exhausting trips up nine ﬂights of stairs, hauling my belongings with me. Why was I in this maddening predicament? Once again, the elevators had been hit by Umess Tower vandals, and could not take me to my room. Although the elevators are possibly the most frequent targets of vandalism in Umess, with buttons continually missing. glass panels removed, lights broken, and even wiring re-wired, they are by no means the only “victims.” Exit signs have been stolen, ﬁre extinguishers have become “guns,” fire crackers have ruined carpet, holes have been punched in doors and walls, windows have been broken, shower drains have been intentionally ﬂooded, the stair wells have been strewn with unpleasant grafitti, a bathroom partition has been literally ripped from the wall, furniture has been broken, fires have been started in the waste shoot (usually during early a.m. hours, as sleepy, disgusted residents well know), ceiling tiles have been taken from the laundry room—and the list goes on. Living in Umess Tower may not be inexpensive; none—the-less Doug Wasko, Director of Auxiliary Services, says that Umess would lose money if it survived only on student resident fees, and vandalism surely does not help the situation. The cost of labor and supplies needed for maintenance and repair is not small. For example, replacing a door costs $80, with $20 of that covering labor and $60 paying for the door. A "small" elevator repair job costs from $60-$90; replacing a stolen fire extinguisher costs $18. Last year the lounge and hall carpet on fourth floor had to be replaced due to vandalism, costing $1468. The total maintenance and repair figure for last year (excluding those fines paid by individual students and floor members, as well as some repair work just being completed now) was $11,800, whereas the budgeted allowance had been $8500. This year, the total as of December was already $6300. Although, as Head Resident Janet Grant said. “The wide majority are not the offenders," a few are causing trouble for many, and unfortunate con- sequences for all will be the inevitable result. When crimes can be pegged on specific people, those unfortunate few Student Senate issues proposed Election Guidelines By SUE BONNER News Editor The Election Guidelines subcommittee of the Student Senate is proposing some constitutional changes regarding rules in election procedures. For any constitutional changes to occur. such proposed changes must be publicized two weeks before any Senate action can be taken. Student Senate will vote on the changes March 8; if two-thirds of the Senate approve of the changes, the student body will vote on the changes at the general election, scheduled for Friday, March 10. The students will vote on constitutional changes. Later, by-laws may be or will be incorporated by Student Senate. The proposed changes are as follows: CONST: Art. lV, Sec. 2 Line 4: delete “at”, add “two weeks following" CONST: Art. IV, Sec. 3 Line 1: following “elections” add “the statis of the Election Board, the Election Board Chairperson, and election day regulation" BY-LAWS: Art IV, Sec. 3 Add: 4. An Election Board, made up of a Chairperson and two assistants, one specifically in charge of election publicity, and the other to assist in election day procedures and other tasks as determined by the Chairperson, will be appointed by the President, with the approval of the Senate, each spring. a. The Election Board Chairperson will have full responsibility for interpretation with the advice of the President and Vice—President, on all election and campaign guidelines and regulations. b. The Board will meet with all Presidential and Vice—Presidential candi- dates at least two days preceding the official campaign commencement day. Another meeting will be held at least one week prior to the primary with the candidates for the other offices. c. The Board will run the actual voting and ballot counting procedures. d. The Election Board Chairperson has the responsibility for fining any candidate(s) for any violation of the campaign regulations or guidelines. This fine will be assessed at $20.00 per violation. 5. The voting pol] hours will be from 9:00 am. to 3:00 p.m. on any election day. 6. In the spring elections there will be two ballots issued to each voter: one with the Presidential and Vicce Presidential candidates, and the other with all other candidates relevant to the individual voter. a. Candidates will complete rotating order. b. If for some reason, one office is invalidated, only that office is not counted. c. A space on each ballot for write-in candidates will be provided. This will consist of a blank line, with the word “other” included. d. A vote will be counted as long as the voters intentions can clearly be ascertained, by the Election Board Chairperson. be listed in 7. There will be no moving or touching of the cast ballots before the polls close, and then only a member of the election Continued on page 7 take care of the bills. What some students don't realize, however, is that the unsolved vandalism occuring on each floor is tallied through-out the year, and the floor members share the accumulated bill at the year's end. Residents are charged individually for damage that has been done to their specific room areas. They pay the fine even if they were absent when the damage occured, unless they reveal the name of someone else responsible or settle the matter privately. Damage that occurs in Umess at large (i.e. the elevators, the basement, etc.) is paid for by the school; however, residents are still financially affected, as room rates will potentially increase, higher damage deposits may be charged, and, possibly most frustrating, money has to be withheld from positive Continued on page 6 Student pay to be ‘subminimum’ for ’77-’78 By ROLLAND BOCKBRADER Staff Writer As of January 1, 1978, Augsburg College will be paying its student employees a subminimum wage. Augsburg sent to the US Department of Labor an application which gives the school permission to pay less than the current minimum wage, although this wage cannot be less than 85% of minimum wage. As some may know effective January 1, the minimum wage was increased to $2.65 from $2.30. Had the school not applied for subminirnum wage, Augs- burg would have had to pay its student employees the $2.65. Being able to pay a subminimum wage will save the school money, and in theory could save the school money (85% of $2.65 is roughly $2.25, a figure less than is currently paid.) Wayne Pederson. acting Vice-Presi- dent for Finance and Management, said that there will be no decrease in the wage paid to students, and probably there will be an increase effective January 1, 1978, although he did not know how much it would be.

Show moreOmicron House continues into its third year of co-ed living By CHRIS HALVORSON Staff Writer When I walked into Omicron House, I had no idea of what to expect. I, being a lowly freshman. had never even been inside a campus house. I entered the small living area and met Mike, who was sitting in a chair and writing music. The stereo was loudly playing a guitar solo. The room was decorated with a 1950 model TV. in contrast to the modern sofa and chair set. I sat down and waited for the rest of the house members to arrive. They filed in one by one and started joking with each other. They barely noticed there was a stranger in the group. Nhen they were settled they proceeded to proclaim to me the wonders of their house. Omicron, the ﬁrst special interest house at Augsburg, is a co-ed house ' consisting of seven members. They are Mike Valentiner. Rick Bonlender, Kris Iverson, Melanie Sisterman, Maureen The Omicron House residents Conroy, Bob Bjorklund. and Carl Priest. The main objective of the house is to give its members an opportunity for a learning experience in how to live with members of the opposite sex in a non-sexual way. The members of the house say they are friends without being lovers. According to Rick, it is a ‘ ‘conceptual education. ‘ ' The members of the house are very much concerned with alleviating racism and sexism. They are also interested in urban issues and some are active in the community. About this, Carl said, “Augsburg is a unique community but there‘s more to the world than Augsburg." There is also a wide diversity of the campus interests of the house members. Collectively, they are involved in 8.0.8.. C.E.N.T.S.. theatre, student govem- ment, music, art. religious life, Citizen's league and an urban internship. The members of the house say that they are music lovers and nature freaks. They have also been known to hold marathon bridge games. The history and culture of the house is important to the members. The walls are decorated with pictures of the past house members and alumni come to visit often. In fact, while I was there. an alumni, Al. came to visit and stayed for the house meeting. The house has few maintenance problems because. as Kris puts it. “The maintenance men love us and fix everything right away." They do have problems with insulation, however, and they have a unique shower which they lovingly refer to as “Early Chain Saw Massacre." When the house first became co-ed three years ago, the Board of Regents did not know about it. Omicron and the other co—ed houses, were referred to as “pilot projects." The Board did find out about it after a year and a half however. One of the main objections to having co-ed houses was that the members might become sexually involved. This has not happened in the three years but the members say that it would be destructive to the house if it did. However. this is the basis of many jokes between the house members and other students. The housekeeping chores are rotated between the house members. The house manager gets to do the dirty work and this job is rotated about every month. Doing dishes is assigned by days. seven people for seven days. Everyone usually does their own cooking because they are usually not all there at the same time. I sat in on their weekly house meeting. For this, the House Log. which has minutes from previous meetings. a journal and miscellaneous memoirs recorded in it. was brought out. There was a lot of kidding going on during this time with Carl and Rick ending up on the An interim lost in Washington By ARLENE snonrs Staff Writer Have you wanted to try something different. possibly explore a hidden interest or take a trip to some new place? Seven students from Augsburg College. John Burkhardt. Lisa Carlson, Carol Dubovick. Paul Johnson. Paul Kilde. Harold Weick and I, did just that when we joined about 150 students during January to participate in a Washington D.C. Winterim program. Carol and I boarded Northwest Orient's 737 on New Year's Day leaving behind us, we hoped. the last of snow storms and cold weather. The flight was rough and in order to get into less turbulence we climbed in altitude. Sipping our bloody mary's our altitude ﬁnally leveled at 30.000 ft. Two hours later we landed in D.C. in the first of a series of snowstorms we would encounter. The next item of business was to get to . the Oxford House. our new home for the nan three weeks. We flaged a skycap. whomer waneuby taxi. Enroute to 1430 Rhode Island Ave. we traveled the streets of Washington in m of the many magnificent structures W in marble and concrete. The Winterim program consisted of morning lectures and guest speakers. these were a Pentagon briefing and the Democratic Party's media March 3. 1973 consultant who showed film clips from previous Presidential campaigns. The afternoon was devoted to small group sessions which were focused on personal interests. My foreign affairs group had a Panama Canal Debate along with a State Department briefing about U.S./Soviet Relations. Academics were important but we also felt it necessary to see the city and do as Washingtonians do. We toured the traditional historical sites but also took time to see the FBI Building, the Washington Post (Carol's favorite) and John Burkhardt's and my favorite. the Supreme Court. I was quite amazed that the Supreme Court held open sessions. I attended sessions in the marroon velveted chamber on two separate occassions and heard four different cases. The proceedings began precisely at 10:00 a.m. with the court crier announcing "Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before the Honorable. the Supreme Court of the United States. are admonished to draw near and give their attention. for the C can is now sitting. God save the United States and this Honorable Court!" At this point all nine black robed justices seated themselves into their own specially fitted chairs. Chief Juaice Warren Burger asked the counsel to outline the case. It appeared as though the justices weren't listening to a word the counsel said as looks of boredoom covered their faces. While counsels presented their cases. the justices often interrupted with a variety of hypothetical and often witty remarks. This informal questioning period continued for about an hour before a new case was begun. It was ironic that later that week we saw the First Monday In October, a play shown at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. starring Henry Fonda and Jane Alexander. First Monday was a comedy based on the still hypothetical situation of the first woman being appointed to the Supreme Court. Besides attending plays. we managed to save enough money to go to 15 restaurants and numerous pubs and disco's, To celebrate my final night in Washington. Carol and I went to La Nicose. a French restaurant in Georgetown. We were greeted at the door by waiters on roller skates. Directed to our tabel we found a menu written in French but with a little deciphering we ordered roast duck prepared in a delicious cherry sauce. To have seen. listened. toured and tasted this remarkable city was a delightful and valuable experience. And. as is typical of time during travel. it all happened much too quickly. floor wrestling. Anarchy. however. does not prevail as a rule. The group. as written in their house proposal. is supposed to express their feelings honestly and openly. This was evident as I listened. Complaints were brought out and dealt with on an open basis. The members were concentrating on organizing a retreat up north for the group. Also. a bridge and dinner party with selected faculty members was proposed. Kris and Melanie were the only returning members of the house this year and they recruited the others. Now. Maureen and Bob will be the only ones returning next year and are working on their recruitments. Omicron House, say its residents. is a supportive environment with a oneon- one type of family closeness. They have their problems. though. as any family does. Melanie said. “Basically our house is well-mannered but we have our bumps and grinds to go through. too." But, with the problems and adversity. Omicron has still proved to be a unique learning exper.ence. Kris commented, “We tried to make a real pleasant experience of the house." Habitat group forms to study urban problems By KENDRA BONDERUD Staff Writer What is involved in our urban habitat? What does it mean for us, as Augsburg students, to be living in an urban environment. a community that starts at the Augsburg level and reaches out to local and metropolitan scopes? Last spring and fall, several students interested in these questions and other urban issues met to discuss them, They decided to organize the group as the Habitat Society, a group interested in coordinating activities and promoting urban awareness on the Augsburg campus. The Habitat Society believes that there is much potential at Augsburg to investigate urban issues on an inter— disciplinary level. to inform ourselves and each other about the habitat, the metropolitan environment, in which we live, The Habitat Society is organized informally to give students of varying intrests the opportunities to participate, The Society recently received formal recognition from the Student Senate. and hopes to work with Senate, Program Commission and other groups “to bring ideas to the campus." One of the main activities of the Habitat Society this spring will be to plan a Habitat Week, which could feature speakers. films, and discussions focus- ing on our urban habitat. Possible ideas are issues related to aesthetics. politics. business, the physical environment, ethics, education, and citizen participa- tion in urban issues. The Habitat Society invites all students with interest and ideas to join. F or more information. contact any resident of Chez Nous House.

Dave Eck- stein opened the emotional game by blasting a shot off the pipe—and then he picked up an assist as All-American Gary Hughes hit All NAIA Tourney selection Jim Peterson with a perfect breakaway pass, and "Petey" put it home for a 1-0 lead. (Unbelievably Jim Peterson was left off the All-American hockey team.) Bemidji stuffed one on a defenseman- less Bain and the smoking Auggies had to settle for a 1-1 first period tie. Augsubrg totally dominated the first five minutes of the second period but were denied until one of the Beavers got called for tripping. Enter Coach Ed Saugestad’s Augsburg Power Play—and 10 seconds later Blom knocked in a chalkboard goal set up by Mike Erickson and Gary Hughes. The Auggies could not build on their 2-1 lead however, as Colehour and then Freeburg were stopped by the Bemidji goalie. Bemidji came back with luck and as several players piled up in front of Bain a screen shot made it 2-2. Paul Hughes and Brian Gauger rushed forward from their defensive positions moments later to set up Chuck McCain for the go ahead goal. McCan, Jeff Blake and Chris Walker combined for give and go‘s, three on two’s, and ﬂashy play all weekend. Bemidji broke back in on Bain and the game was deadlocked at 3-3.

Continued from page 1 Jim Peterson got the winning goal (his second of the night) on a set up from Paul Holmquist and Nelson to close out the scoring and the second period. Period three opened up with Bemidji on the power play. No one could figure out just what set up they were using though as first Vern McIntyre and Bruce Hendrickson and later Tim Date and Peterson kept play at center ice. Date began cruising the Bemidji blue line on his regular line shifts and the pressure was all on Bemidji until there were seven minutes left in the game. With seven minutes to go Augsburg ran out of gas. Enter Mr. Dick Bain as two—on—ones, one-on—o's, and pile ups in the crease were all kicked out and grabbed. Augsburg rallied behind their goaltender and the crowd and with four minutes to go in the game they turned the heat back on. McCan, Erickson, and Nelson narrowly missed chances. The fans were on their feet chanting as Blom stole the puck and stick handled through half the Bemidji team—killing precious time as Bemidji never had a last rush, never pulled their goalie. The game was no fluke. Augsburg outskated, outshot, and outscored Bemidji. Augsburg deserved to win. They won.

All of the teams looked good and deserve to be complimented. Women gymnasts really are a tribute to the female athlete." Men’s Track opens season By EMILIE NYSTUEN Sports Editor Although unknown to many, there is an Augsburg Men‘s track team busily underway. Saturday, Feb. 18, Coach Al Kloppen took five of the 14 that have been working out to an indoor meet at Carleton College in Northfield. The team totals were: Wise-River Falls 72, Carleton 44, Augsburg 22, Bethel 18. Coach Kloppen enthusiastically said, “I am really pleased with the results so early.” The five men competing were: Blaine Johnson, Tom Boe, who won the high jump, Eric Lukes, who won the 280 yd. run and placed third in the 60 yd. dash, Duke Lachinski. who placed second in the long jump and fourth in the 60 yd. dash, and Steve Rosvold, who placed fourth in the 280 yd. run and won the 60 yd. high hurdles. Co-ops Continued from page 3 Combining the bins, barrels, and bakery items with a more super-market- ish atmosphere is the West Bank Co-op. located at 417 Cedar Avenue South. Prices are a bit higher there, but more convenience foods and red meat are available. Rachel Lundstrom, a junior theater major at Augsburg, does some of her shopping at the co—ops because “the quality and freshness of the fruits and vegetables and cheeses are so good. I used to think that it was cheaper shopping there, but I’m not so sure anymore. Still, I would prefer to buy those things there, because I know they haven't been handled by a million people.” Operating on a system of trust and no profit, the oo-ops are bound to run into some economic difficulties. As Mr. Olson of the Seward Co—op stated, “We operate in the red sometimes." But Seward has stayed in business for six years now and doesn’t anticipate closing with the support they get. Obviously, freedom from exploitation as consumers is more important to some people than new computer cash registers and 53 brands of breakfast cereal.

Show more‘FWFE‘WZ- By her own admission, Kathy Brown is not afraid to work hard. She's also not afraid to do things her own way, even if that's a bit different from the norm. It was those qualities that motivated Kathy to enroll in a “Lifestyle Enrichment Program" at Holden Village in Washington State. She spent a year between high school and college in the program, which is, as she describes it, a liberal arts education in a Christian context. “It was learning, not for a grade, but to help us relate to life," says Kathy. “I wasn't really sure what 1 wanted to study, and it was a period in my life when I was trying to establish values and make decisions about my future. That, combined with four very busy years in high school, made me want to do something different for awhile." Her love for hiking and backpacking also attracted her to the program. Kathy had started considering Augsburg during her junior year in high school in Madison, Wisconsin, but it was a stronger choice after the year at Holden. “First and foremost, I'm here beause I want to be. I've really gotten to appreciate education for the sake of education." But preparation for a professional career is also important to her. Although she still feels funny about having to declare a definite field of study, she is heading towards a teaching degree in social studies. Someday Kathy hopes to work with troubled teenagers. Kathy's academic interest and her desire for challenge may take her to St. Olaf to complete her degree. She has been accepted into the para—college program for next year, and, if she goes, will be concentrating in alternative education and women's studies. Her possible transfer from Augsburg does not mean that she is unhappy here. “I've had some excellent classes and professors. and I've loved living in Minneapolis. I've been exposed to a lot of new ideas and challenged to rethink many of my old ones." St. Olaf is not unfamiliar to Kathy—she spent interim this year taking a class called “Philosophical Ideas In Literature" there. Reading is one of her interests, fortunately, because the course had a grueling reading list. Art has become a recent interest for Kathy. She spent six weeks in Europe last summer studying art and literature, but what really got her started was the art classes that she has taken at Augsburg. Being a resident assistant on the eighth floor of Urness keeps Kathy's time in demand. “I love the people on my floor. Being on a co-ed floor with such a wonderful group makes it seem so much more like a home." Kathy's summer this year will be spent as assistant outtripping counsellor at Luther Point Bible Camp. The camp is located just eight miles from her parents' home near Siren, Wisconsin.

Telephone 331-9747 Coffeehouse Extempore quietly thrives By SARAH PARKER Staff Writer Just a short stroll from the Augsburg campus sits a small establishment known as the Coffeehouse Extempore'. It’s a casual place with a friendly atmosphere that will make anybody feel at home. You can play a game of chess or checkers with a buddy, meet some new folks, grab a bite to eat, or listen to some of the best local talent found in the Twin Cities area. Some well know people such as Leo Kottke, Michael Johnson, and Joyce Everson have played at the Extemp and new talent is being discovered all the time, The people that run the Extemp want to give the unknown talents of the Twin Cities 3 break and it is for this reason that they dedicate several nights out of the month for what is known as Open Stage Night. It is on these evenings that anyone is invited to come and show off their musical talents. It is a good way to practice playing in front of an audience, as well as to gain audience recognition on the music-conscious West Bank. For a small cover charge of $1.00 on week nights to $2.00 on weekends you are able to take advantage of all the coffeehouse has to offer. No alcoholic beverages are served but they do have a complete menu that offers some good eating at inexpensive prices. The Extemp has been around for 13 years in this area, and is located at 325 Cedar Ave. Through these years they have survived two fires, ﬁnancial crisis’ and many changes. They are presently going through some remodeling with plans to stay open for another 13 years, but because they are a non-profit organization they need the support of the public to stay alive. It is a good place to be with friends or just to spend some time with yourself. The Extemp often has discussion groups to which everyone is welcome, as well as guitar lessons and workshops. So if you're looking for something to do, and would like to listen to some homegrown pickin' stop by, relax and enjoy. East Bank West Bank YOUR Bank STUDENTS...

Show moreAn Open Meeting Law for Regents? On Monday of this past week the Board of Regents of Augsburg College met. We’ll bet fifty dollars that most of you did not even notice. Granted, there seemed to be a higher number of three piece suits ﬂoating around the College Center. That in itself, however, would seem to be no cause for alarm. In fact, a meeting of the Board of Regents, in itself, is no cause for alarm. Every college has them. And the Regents all seem fine enough fellows. They all hold positions of power and esteem in the community. They are all seemingly well educated and refined in their manners. Nothing, one would imagine, could be more innocuous than a meeting of the Board of Regents. Yet just try to attend one of their meetings. Unless you are a representative from the faculty, the Student Body BreSIdent, a representative from the Alumni Association, a representative from the American Lutheran Church or have received an invitation from the Chairman of the Board, Clayton L. Lefevere, you must content yourself with pressing your red hot ear to the locked door. For all practical purposes, the meetings of the Board of Regents are closed, secret affairs. This sort of situation raises all sorts of questions in our minds. The most basic of these is: Why? Why must these meetings be held in secret? If these gentlemen are making important decisions about the future course of Augsburg College, then why can't faculty members and students be allowed to sit in and express their concerns, their opinions, their possible solutions? . We think that it is vital that the Board of Regents hold open meetings in the future so that all members of the Augsburg community may have President Oscar/\Anderson Recently I have tried through this column to stress the importance of becoming a person who can think. Reactions and opinions may have their place but to clarify an issue, analyze it, understand its context, determine alternatives and choose wisely among various solutions requires genuine thought. Cultivating the ability to do this is, in the setting of a college, “a consum- mation devoutly to he wished." Now there is no end of things to think about, but for a moment consider some future problems which have been identified by the National Science Foundation in its search for those issues which are yet largely unaddressed but which will have a serious impact on the decades ahead. . The N .S.F. was attempting to provide the President of the United States with an understanding of what problems face society down the road. The Foundation used the research facilities of Stanford University and, after identifying a thousand problems, reduced these to 41. About these, the researchers made the following comment: I “After examining a large and diverse sample of future problems, we reached some Significant general conclusions about the nature of societal problems. It appears that the problems of the future will be fundamentally different in character from those we have dealt with in the past. Whereas most of human history has focused on our solving problems of the world as we found it, the critical problems of the future will involve dealing with the problems of the world as we have made it. " Further invesitgation sifted these 41 societal problems down to six. It is interesting to note that these six do not include the present global concerns for environment, energy, population, economic development or food. The plain fact is that college students of today will be living and wrestling in the years to come with these matters as they impinge inevitably on their daily lives. Let me list the critical six: 1. Chronic unemployment and underdevelopment. . Growing conﬂict between central control and individual freedom. . Barriers to achieving large scale technological projects. . Limits to the management of large, complex systems. . Potential use and misuse of consciousness technologies. . Effects of stress on individuals and society. T e liberally educated college person who has learned to think carefully will attempt to see the interrelatedness of these issues because the study makes the point: “The individual problems that seem almost overwhelming when viewed independently look more amenable to the kind of understanding that leads to eventual resolution when they are taken as part of an integrated pattern. " more-cam a voice in the decision-making process. Good reason for developing the liberally educated mind! In the words of Sripture: Think on these things! Sociobiology II To the Editor: As a student in the Augsburg community, Iwas quite concerned with a letter about sociobiology which I read in last week's ECHO. I too am strongly opposed to both racism and sexism. However, what I am concerned about at present are not the ultimate merits of sociobiology, but with the prejudgmental attitude of the letter's authors. They already know that sociobiology is evil and they are holding a forum so they can prove it to us. Everyone is certainly entitled to his or her view, but wouldn’t it be more reasonable if proponents of sociobiology were invited to present their views too? The tone of the C.A.R. letter is sadly reminiscent of one that prevailed in this country during the 1950’s. I‘ve taken the liberty of rephrasing C.A.R.'s letter and substituting for "sociobiology" a topic which concerned many people a few decades ago. The letter is signed by the 1950’s version of the chief pursuer-of- evil. See if the analogy fits. Lars Lingenberry Concerned Student Did you know that some politically 4 active people are trying to Show that free-enterprise and competitive market place are unnecessary? These politically active people call themselves communists. The evidence used to support their views is based on observations of the common laborer. For example, they suggest that because many common laborers earn a low wage, there may be something inherently wrong with capitalism. I am very concerned about recent efforts to support these ideas, and would like to give the community the opportunity to understand and discover the danger these ideas may pose. In the near future the Committee Against Communism (C.A.C.), of which I am a member, will be sponsoring a forum, “Communism: The New Threat to Free-Enterprise. " The ideas of communism are not new. They are nothing more than the old ideas of economic control by the masses that were used to support such movements as the Russian revolution and the political domination of Eastern Europe. Politics are not value free. The politics called communism may one day affect you directly. Join us at the forum and learn more about communism and what you as a member of the community can do to stop its spread before it may be too late. Joseph McCarthy US. Senator from Wisconsin Ice Arena To the Editor: When I first came to Augsburg I was led to believe that when I paid my tuition the receipt they gave me was my guarantee of receiving the goods and services I had paid for with my hard earned summer earnings. But recent developments on campus have disheart- ened me into believing that we've been misguided into not receiving the full services we were promised. It has recently come to my attention ath approximately eighty one dollars ($81) from each student‘s tuition is allocated to subsidize the Augsburg Ice Arena. This is no crime in itself, although I seriously doubt whether an $81 subsidy is justifiable, considering the amount of use most students get from the arena. Perhaps a lower and more reasonable subsidy would be more appropriate. But this in itself is not the major rationale for my complaint, but only the underlying fact to another real problem. After learning of the subsidy I found it to be rather inconsistent and damn inconsiderate of the Ice Arena staff to rent the ice right out from under the feet of the students who foot the bill. What I'm referring to is the renting of the Ice Arena to outside groups, in this case high school hockey teams, on the 15th and 16th, while "overlooking" the fact that on those two days two classes, an ice skating and broomball class respectively, would be meeting and would have to be cancelled without prior notice to the students involved. These students tuition dollars should have reserved them a claim on available ice time, lost out, and in this case it was for classes they'd registered for. Well such actions are abominable, and here‘s one student who thinks such irnproprieties are intolerable. Terry Rindal March 3, I978

Show moreBy KATHY YAKAL Features Editor You won't hear any beautiful music piped in through a speaker system. You won't be steering your shiny metal cart down long aisles of prettily packaged produce and pop and perishables. in fact, you'll have to package, weigh, price. and even bag your own groceries. But you can be sure that the food you're buying is nutritious. fresh, and cheap, and that the people you're buying it from care about you as a consumer. If you can't imagine such a place, you haven't explored your own neighborhood very well. Three such places exist within six blocks of Augsburg. North Country and Seward are two of the co—ops in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, Co—ops are alternative marketing systems which exist for two stated main purposes: “to counter the threat that capitalism poses to natural resources and a healthy environment;" and "to counter the wasteful consumerism that capitalism promotes.” in short, co—ops are run and supported by people who are tired of getting ripped off. Co—ops are not new in this region. Finnish immigrants are credited with their early beginnings. Two economic condidtions prompted the Firms to open co-ops. Exploitation by March 3. I078 Three area Co-ops offer The Seward Co-op local merchants, who profited from poor roads and communications, caused farm families in Minnesota and Wisconsin to create an economic alternative. Around that same time, during a 1907 strike of iron range miners, angry merchants cut off credit to the striking members, forcing them to find other ways to get food. By 1917, 65 co—ops had sprung up in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Isolation caused the co-ops to ﬂounder and often fail. So, in 1917, representa- tives of 19 co-ops formed the Co—operative Central Exchange. The name of the co-operative organization has changed since then, but the principle of fair marketing remains. Today, the co-ops in Minneapolis are members of the All Co»operating Assembly, which consists of, not only food stores, but also restaurants, publications, arts groups, day care centers — organizations which exist strictly for aid to the consumer, not for proﬁt of its management. Seward Co—op, located at 2201 East Franan Avenue, stocks fresh fruits and vegetables, breads, spices and teas, cheeses, milk, eggs—almost everything a suburban supermarket has. But they refuse to stock and sell anything which they feel is not good for the consumer. 'I‘winkies and red meat have to be purchased elsewhere, “We feel we help people. particularly The Noth Country Co-op an alternative to supermarkets those who can't shop in large quantity like single or low-income people," states Jal Olson. Jal, a retired city employee, is the “cheese coordinator" at Seward Co-op. “Here you can buy one raisin or one prune, and the price won‘t be any higher than if you bought 100 pounds. We‘ll cut anything down to the smallest amount possible so that people aren't forced to buy more than they need," says Jal. “We don't want our customers to come in and be on the defensive because of merchandising tricks. " Jal is one of the nine salaried coordinators at Seward. The coordinators work for the co-op because they believe in its value, not just to make money. All of them, with the exception of .181, have completed Bachelors 0r Masters degrees —some have even worked as college professors. But they have chosen the simpler lifestyle that their 30 hours a week at minimum wage provides for them. A group of several volunteers rounds out the Seward staff. Students, nurses, retired people. housewives—anyone who can run an adding machine, stock a shelf, or sweep a ﬂoor qualifies to be a volunteer at the co-op, which further ‘he West Bank (‘o—up qualities them tor a 10% discount on anything in the store. Senior citizens and handicapped persons receive a discount automatically, whether or not they volunteer to work. Jal sees all kinds of people shopping in his co—op, and not all of them live in the Cedar-Riverside community, “A lot of people from the other side of town come to buy gonnet cheeses for their parties. We have 50 kinds of cheese from 12 different foreign countries." Seward supplies cheeses and other food items to the Seward and New Riverside Cafes. North Country Co-op located at 2129 Riverside Avenue, also operates on a coordinator/volunteer staffing system. Orientation meetings for new volunteers are held every other weekinew ‘ volunteers are always welcome. Prices at North Country and Seward run pretty close, as they both stock many of the same items, and average a 25% markup on all items. You can't buy a Three Musketeers bar or a bag of M & M's at either co—op, but you can still get a treatii’eople's Bakery supplies the co—ops with lots of cookies and other goodies, and yogurt, nuts and fresh fruit are in good supply.

Show moreThe Magic Flute: Enthralling Reviewed By KATHY YAKAL Features Editor erﬁngnreviewofnﬁlmdirectedbylngmarBergmanistantamounttoraising your hand in an upper-division philosophy seminar and trying to explain what Plato really meant to say. But Bergman's cinematic rendering of Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute is so del‘ghtful that it's worth the risk. The ﬁlm opens with several close-up reaction shots of a theater audience listening to the overture. For about the first five minutes of screen time, the camera jumps from face to face in the audience—young, old, white, Indian, black, Oriental; some are different, some totally engrossed, some swaying with the music. Bergman seems to be suggesting the universality of the music and messages we are about to see. At various times throughout the film. the camera returned to one young girl whose face registers delight, fear, confusion. sadness—all the emotions that the film evokes. This unusual opening series of shots is characteristic of Bergman. He wants to remind his audience that it is an imitation of reality, a film—not reality itself— that we are watching. He continues to remind us throughout the film with some candid hacknage moments; performers reading comic books, playing chess. rehearsing their lines, even peeking through the curtains at the audience between acts. The plot is a fantasy about the Queen of Night, her estranged husband Sorastro, and their struggle for the affections of their daughter, Pamina. A handsome prince, Tamino, is employed by the queen to deliver her daughter from the supposedly evil clutches of Sorastro. Subplots deal with the growing love of Pamina and Tamino, and of the search for a woman who will love him by Tamino’s bumbling but lovable sidekick, Papageno. Bergman used colors and lighting to show the queen’s transition from good fairy to evil witch. Early in the ﬁlm, she and her three chesty bandmaidens are dressed in bright colors and make their stage appearances in cheery. high-key lighting. Their words and actions eventually show their more evil nature. Bergman emphasizes the change by shooting them from low angles, so that they seem to loom above us. He distorts their faces by using harsh lighting on close—up shots, causing their once-lovely features to become grotesque masks of horror. Their carnival gowns become shrouds. I don't know whether Mozart ever intended his opera to have so many comic moments. but the audience at the Cedar Theater certainly chuckled a lot. Bergman’s sense of humor is evident but not overwhelming throughout the film. The deadly serious power struggle between the king and queen. and the trials that Pamina and Tamino have to suffer to stay together do not provide many laughs; in fact, their conﬂicts provide real tension. But Bergman creates a pleasing balance between the two—l certainly didn't object to alternating between them. One comic device that probably was not in Mozart's original is the use of wooden placards to illustrate the many simple morals of the story. Mozart's opera, being an outgrowth of the eighteenth century humanitarian movement, expressed several simplistic beliefs about the nature of good and evil and love. One of the earliest examples comes when Papageno and Pamina are overtaken by a group of sinister . warriors who look, curiously, like court jesters. As Papageno pulls out his magic bells and plays them. the frightening hulks are transformed into a less-than»cocrd.inated ballet company. While they sing the lyrics proclaiming the soothing powers of music which could join the nations. a series of large placards on which the moral is inscribed magically appears in the singers’ hands. At another point, Papageno, who has told a lie. suddenly finds a padlock clamping his lips shut, while the musical moral suggests how nice it would be if everyone who lied could have their mouths shut in a similar fashion. Bergman plays with our sense of reality. The locket given to Tamino by the Queen of Night has Pamina's picture on it. but close-ups show Pamina actually coming to life in the locket. Her threatened situation is made evident as a bald, menacing-looking man steps into the locket behind her and leers grimly. Bergman's unique symbolism is more accessible in this film than in many of his others. There is one rather bizarre scene near the end. though. Pamina and Tamino must pass successfully through a series of trials, with only the enchanted ﬂute to protect them, before they will be allowed to remain together. Their final trial takes them through ﬁre and water, but the flames and waves that clutch at them are white, bony hands extending from skeleton-like human bodies. The Magic Flute was shown at the Cedar Theater last weekend as part of Director‘s Fenival ll. Two other Bergman films, The Passion of Anna and Cries and Whispers, will be shown later in the series, which runs through April 20. commiwmﬂiﬂ- Augsburg String Invitational set By KATHARINE E.

Luther Allison: Cooking at the Cobooze Reviewed by Terry Rindal Those people who managed to enter the Cabooze bar for Luther Allison's February appearance (before they turned them away at the door) were witness to a special kind of treat. Not since Son Seals played his blues has the Cabooze showcased talents such as Chicago bluesman Luther Allison and his band. A rare blend of lyrical guitar com- bined with driving bass and drums had the performers and the crowd hoping in every available inch of space. Allison is a showman in every sense of the word and had the crowd exuberantly responding with as much enthusiasm and vitality as displayed by Luther himself. His crowd pleasing antics ranged from being carried around the bar on a bouncer‘s shoulders while wailing away. to actually playing the guitar behind his back, behind his head. and picking out rapid successions of notes with the ﬂicking of his tongue while standing on the bar. But the talents on display were not those of Luther alone, but also of his band which put out 45 minutes of solid, enjoyable music. On the organ was the most capable Sid Wingfield from the up and coming group Cheap Trick. Wingfield and company aroused the crowd with a song called “Sleezy Digestion" in which bassist Jim Campbell and drummer Donald “Highpockets” Robertson each had rousing solo numbers. Campbell claims inspiration from Rock-n-Roller Jimi Hendricks. He amused the crowd with ale-Hendricks style bass riffs complete with playing in several unusual stances as well as bump and grinding with his amp and speaker columns. Robertson claims his own style and his drum style was quite dissimilar to any this writer has encountered. Talented as Campbell and Robertson are: their talents might be better showcased in a Rock-n-Roll format rather than in the funky blues of Luther Allison. A rendition of Hendrick's “All Along the Watchtower," played by the trio was classic Rock-n-Roll. Yet Luther claims, “We're not here to play Rock-n-Roll. Purists say we play too much, but I'm here to play blues. Still I want to be known for my own music—l don‘t want to be known as Luther “Blues Boy" Allison anymore. I'm my own man and that's how I’ll play." This writer would like to see Allison turn up the vocals and turn down the organ just a tat, but that might not be needed as long as they just keep turning on the crowds. Allison will be releasing an album within the year which will be produced either by George Harrison or the Ohio Players. Allsion has worked with the Ohio Players in the past and an album produced in collaboration with them would certainly be an artistic if not a commercial success. Luther Allison returns to the Twin Cities tonight and will be at Kelly's through Sunday. WMd-E-Wﬁﬁ'ﬁ-‘fﬂ’ﬁ . .

Show moreACTC executive staff to be eliminated By DAVID RAETHER Editor In a midwinter budget reordering, the Ad Hoc Committee of Presidents recommended to the ACTC Board of Directors that the ACTC assistant executive director’s position be termin- ated, effective September 1978. The Committee also recommended that the present executive director's position be changed to “a lower salaried, less experienced director after 1978-79." “In the past six years," the report stated, “a solid groundwork has been laid and many different possibilities have been explored. Many have been successful beyond our expectations, some have not been for a variety of reasons. We have reached the conclusion that it is not possible at the present time under prevailing circum- stances either to increase the possibili- ties of cooperation or to continue to fund an administrative office at» the level it now has reached. We are therefore recommending that in the 1978-80 year and thereafter the administrative office be operated with reduced costs in executive salary." ACTC, or Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities, has been in operation since 1972, funded in a complex arrangement by both grants from the Northwest Area Foundation and other foundations, as well as by monies from the five colleges of the consortium. According to Dr. Mary Rose Geisheker, current assistant executive director, the colleges, in the past few years, have gradually been assuming more and more of the ACTC budget. This year only the administrative salaries were funded by grants. Next year the colleges would have assumed the responsibility for this portion of the budget also. In effect, the Ad Hoc Committee of Presidents decided they did not want the olleges themselves to pay the salaries of the two executive directors. Assistant executive director Geishe- ker's job description included “admini- strative—facilitive tasks and communica- tions services." Her job will be eliminated in September, and she must begin looking for work elsewhere. In their report the Committee commended Dr. Geisheker "for putting forth the image of the consortium internally on our five campuses." Dr. Andrew Helmich, ACTC executive director, will stay on through the 1978-79 school year, but then his job will be terminated. The president’s also commended Helmich in their report, saying, "We are cognizant of the conscientious and devoted effort Dr. Helmich has given to the administration of ACTC during the more than five years he has been with us.” In December the Echo reported that the ACTC cost approximately $295,000 this year. Of that ﬁgure, $170,000 in various grants fund the ACTC for this year, with $79,000 coming from the Northwest Area Foundation. Augsburg pays approximately $22,487 this year. The other four colleges are paying between $21,000 and $31,000, depend- ing on their usage of the inter-campus buses. According to Dr. Geisheker, the administrative staff of ACTC is considerably smaller than that of most consortiums. The staff is made up of two full-time executives, a full-time execu- tive secretary, and an occassional student typist. Despite the cut in staff, the Committee expressed an intention to continue the consortium. "It is our intention to insure that the efforts of the consortium permit the continuation of cross-registration, a refined program of transportation, the Area Studies, and. of course, the joint registration brochure. In addition, we will continue projects currently under- way which are funded by grants." Already, however, problems have arisen. Recently, the ACTC staff announced that the Joint Course Descriptions tabloid will not appear this year. The tabloid which provides descrip- tions of the content and prerequisites for all ﬁve college courses. is used by students to assist in cross-registration. Without it students will have to obtain individual copies of each catalog for the five colleges for course information. Dr. Geisheker stated that the catalog, which is produced by the ACTC staff, requires overtime work to produce. “We simply do not have the man-and-woman power to produce it this year.” The Joint Class Schedule will, however, appear in mid April. Housing staffing policy changes There’ll be some changes made in the structure of the residence hall staff for next year. New staff members are currently being sought for the positions open. Mortenson, West and Memorial Halls will continue to utilize head residents and assistant head residents. But Umess Tower will be training and hiring one resident advisor (R.A.) per floor, instead of the present practice of hiring two. Controversy exists about the necessity for the change. In a joint meeting of Housing Committee and current housing staff early in February, the advantages and disadvantages of both systems were discussed. The outcome of that meeting was a consensus to launch a two-year pilot program, hiring one R.A. per floor. At the end of the two years, the program will be evaluated and a decision made to continue or return to two R.A.’s. Obviously, this means the responsibil- ities of each RiA. will be greater. “It’s important that the staff member has a strong commitment to the position and does not have excessive outside time commitments," stated Linda Shrempp, director of Student Life. “However,” she went on to say, “this doesn’t mean we're looking for someone who is interested in exploring the monastic life." Because the time commitment will be greater, so will the salary. Umess R.A.‘s will receive $1,000 per year, plus a telephone and the option to live alone in their rooms. Besides looking for nine people to serve as R.A.'s, the Housing Staff will be hiring one assistant head resident in Umess ($1,000), two assistant head residents in Mortensen ($750), one head resident for West Hall ($600) and one for Memorial $800). This salary scale is contingent upon budget approval. Prior experience is not necessary to be hired. “We're looking for someone who has potential, and then will provide extensive training to help them carry out the job responsibilities," says Linda Schrempp. Ideally the residence hall staff should consist of “people who can relate to the many personalities which are represented in Augsburg residence areas," according to Linda. The deadline for applications is 12:00 noon on March 8. Applications and further information can be obtained from the Housing Office in the College Center. Senate evaluates its achievements By SUE BONNER News Editor Student Senate, at its February 22 meeting, evaluated itself as to what goals it has accomplished in the past year. Vice-President Arlene Shorts led the discussion and listed some of the major goals. These included the planting of trees in Murphy Square, the formation of the Election Guidelines Committee, the acceptance of a housing proposal which required stricter guidelines in the area of special interest housing, and the allocation of funds for the Echo’s after-Interim issue. Shorts also cited the restructuring of Program Commission, the printing of the Auggie by October, and the expansion of SOS to the College Center desk as some of the goals the Spore-Shorts team accomplished. She added that other platform goals such as better commuter communications, inspection of insulation needs of the annex houses, and the push for more internship programs were worked on. Other Senate business included Dennis Meyer’s request for a $100 allocation for the new Program Commissioner (to be selected after the elections) to attend a Programming Convention in New Orleans in March. The convention consists of demonstra- tions, films, seminars, and discussions on quality of programming. Meyer said that the new commissioner’s attendance at the convention would “benefit all Augsburg students" because of the information and ideas which the convention offers. Senate discussed the feasibility of funding the $100 because of the possibility that a new commissioner would not be selected by the dates of the convention (March 19-23). Senate allocated the money with the stipulation that if a commissioner has not been selected by March 19, the money will be returned to Senate's general fund. Student government formally recog- nized the Habitat Society, an organiza- tion of Augsburg students concerned with urban issues and Augsburg’s awareness in the community. Jennifer Abeln, representing the group, said that the orgamz‘ ation is currently planning a Habitat Week which would introduce the group and its concerns to Augsburg. Senate allocated another budget request, requested by Student Body President Eric Spore, for $100 to pay part of the expenses to send three students to the Ninth Annual National Student Symposium, held in Washington DC. on April 14-16.

Show moreDonna Peterson By KATHY YAKAL Features Editor According to a recent survey done by the research staff of ABC's news show. "Good Morning, America," college aduates who are trained in some facet f health care should have little difficulty ﬁnding jobs. Augsburg College is doing its part to provide training for its students in that area. Augsburg is one of two educational institutions in the state of Minnesota t offers a “career mobility program" in nursing. “Mainly, we wanted to start our own program to fulﬁll the basic philosophy of the school—education for service," Erwin Mickelberg, associate professor of biology at Augsburg. “People who don’t work with nurses don't realize how they're clamoring for more training." Mickelberg was on the task force that met three years ago to discuss the feasibility of instituting a nursing program here. After deciding to go ahead with the project, one of the first people they called to be on staff was Donna Peterson. director of the School of Nursing at Deaconness Hospital. “The thing that makes our (Augs- burg's) program unique is that someone who has started out at a different level has the opportunity to advance without losing credit for what they have already learned." says Ms. Peterson. What this means is that a registered nurse (R.N.t who has earned a license to practice from a two or three year program can enter Augsburg and graduate two or three years later with a 3.8. degree and a major in nursing. How does this affect their professional status? “It changes their level of functioning quite a bit, " states Peterson. “We are taking a technical nurse and giving them the background to be a professional nurse, trained to work in management. community health nursing, or to go on for master’s degrees." Donna received her own training at the University of Cincinnati where she earned bachelor's and master's degrees in nursing. She now doubles as director of the Schools of Nursing at Augsburg and Deaconness. The Deaconness program represents another method of getting a nursing dip- loma. Deaconness sends their students to Augsburg for the first of their years to take six required courses: anatomy and physiology, psychology, chemistry, microbiology, sociology, and English. All nursing courses are taken at Descnnness.

These institutions offer a four-year liberal arts education with a major in nursing. Students just graduating from high school would most likely choose one of these two more traditional programs. But what Augsburg has to offer appeals more to R.N.‘s who have practiced for a few years and feel limited by their amount of training. This is evident from the average age of Augsburg's nursing students: 30. Students in Augsburg's nursing program must fulfill the same general education requirements as a graduate in any other field here. In addition. eight courses in nursing are required—not technical courses, but more theoretical courses in areas like research and nursing assessment. Most of them continue to work part-time at nearby hospitals while they go to school. Selective admission is another unique element of Augsburg's program. From approximately 200 applications received in the fall of 1977, only 50 were chosen. “The reason I chose to come here was because it is the only program in this area where you can get a degree with a minimum of repeating courses. You get credit for what you‘ve learned—it’s kind of a put-down to have to repeat all the same stuff." states John Scheel, who is completing his second year of study at Augsburg. John got his RN. license from St. Mary's and has been working at Hennepin County Medical Center since then. He has continued to work there on the surgical intensive care ward while taking classes here. But John was lucky. He could afford to go full-time to school for two years. Continued from page 6 myself fighting through one of the most pretentious, smart-assed pieces of self- centered drivel to appear in the ECHO since Mark Jennings graduated, Some~ thing is no doubt radically wrong with your thought processes, and after a careful evaluation of the many happy hours we spent together putting out the ECHO, I think I've figured it out. Steve, it all goes back to the old idea that, to create, an artist must suffer. Just think about it for a minute: when you did your best ECHO work last year, you had just recently gone through an emotional upheaval, breaking up with your girlfriend. You were miserable most of the time, fighting constantly, and editorials and news stories were never better, Obviously, your misery was a powerful creative force. Now. let's look at the current situation. All year, you’ve been involved in a new romance. You are, as a result, happy, easy to get along with. and content in your day-today existence. However, the lack of misery has steatu been eroding your oncemnsiderable skills of satire and social comment. with such atrocities as the above-mentioned Soundings emerging from the muck of your creativity. The answer is simple. If you are ever going to regain those talents which we all enjoy so much, you're just going to Many R.N's would like the additional training. but can't take the time off to get it. The second facet of Augsburg's original proposal for a nursing program would certainly help those people, As Mickelberg explained. early plans included a second program which would allow an R.N. to attend classes on weekends and evenings, and still be able to work full-time or take care of their families. So far. plans for this phase of the program remain incomplete. More than being just a convenience for R.N.‘s who want a college degree, programs like Augsburg's will soon be a necessity. Legislation is currently pending that would make it manditory for a person to have completed a BS. degree in nursing before they could take their state board examinations. "It's a bit like the situation that elementary school teachers were in about 20 years ago," explained Mr, Mickelberg. “The field was becoming more professionalized, so some people had four-year degrees, and others didn't. but were still teaching. We're in that same transition period with nursing right now. " This May will see the graduation of the first class of nursing students from Augsburg's new program. It's been a good two years for Donna Peterson. “For me, the neatest thing has been the development and implementation of a brand new program that is non—tradition— al. ' '8 really enjoyed working with the people here. " Landlord Continued from page 3 As an example, Metcalf cited an incident which occurred last summer. Metcalf said he had the College tagged by the Minneapolis Health department beause it has failed to repaint three buildings which it had purchased over five years ago. These buildings had old paint with a high lead content and they stood next to a day care center. Metcalf said that there were paint chips all over the ground behind these houses and that these chips were a danger to the children at the day care center. Augsburg tennants and the College have had a stormy relationship in the past few years. There is a great deal of anger and bitterness toward the College on the part of many of the residents in the area because of Augsburg's alleged negligence as a landlord. This renter landlord antagonism has certainly not helped Augsburg's image on the West-Bank.

After minutes of computation we found that if your class met on Monday, Wednesday or Friday, you lost $8.02. If you missed that same stimulating lecture on Tuesday or Thursday it cost you $11.73. Question: How much does each meal cost? Assuming you are on full board plan, and eat every meal that is offered, those delicious pork patties that you might be tempted to skip will cost you $1.08.

Church people are also pursuing these issues in the form of political theology and the Marxist-Christian dialogue. The new theologians from South America such as Gustavo Gutierrez and Joseph Bonino argue that it is not a matter whether there will be a revolution in South America and Africa. It is rather a question of what kind of revolution it might be, and they and their colleagues have opted for a Marxist solution which offers the best political-economic system available for that society. It is time that we address these issues as academicians, and not like Archie Bunker.

Hart and Charles M. reinandez would like to take this opportunity to concede defeat in the primary election for the offices of Student Society President and Student Society Vice-President to the teams of Lisa Radosevich with Gary Roman and Kevin Bonderud with Lynn Schmidtke. We would also like to thank all 52 students who thought it fit to cast their votes in our favor. To the members of the student body who didn't vote, may we urge you to study the platforms of the remaining teams and vote for the team of your choice.

In all the years I've known you, your writing has consistently been clear, concise, and entertaining. So, when I spotted your by-line under the Soundings head, I settled down to find out what gripe, complaint or profound thought you had chosen to share with the Augsburg community. But. to my utter dismay, I found Continued on page 7 racesﬂ Rick and Tom Hendrickson are senior brothers from Paynesville. MN. They are not only brothers but they are twins. Rick lives in Gamma Theta House and Tom lives in Zeta. Last year they both lived in Zeta but thought they needed a change this year. There were no conﬂicts between the two over deciding what college to go to. Augsburg was a family tradition and there was really no question over which college they would attend. The twins, however, don't have many strong opinions of Augsburg. Rick commented that it is pretty small but still okay. Tom stated that he had “definitely become a better person at Augsburg." He explained that he had been indecisive before but now he's better—he thinks. Both men play football here at Augsburg. Rick studies and skiis a lot and says that Tom doesn't do much of anything He said, “We're both just trying to graduate." At Paynesville High School they were both involved in baseball, track, football and choir. Tom is the older of the two by 12 minutes but says that he usually doesn't pull rank on Rick. “I just use my superior intelligence over him," he said. As twins, they haven't had many strange experiences except that they sometimes hiccup at the same time. Once, Tom dreamt that Rick had driven off the road into a tree and was unconscious. Tom got up and went out looking for him but Rick was safely on his way home. Although they are remarkably similar, they are different in many ways. Rick says the biggest difference is the company they keep, claiming that he has a more refined taste in women than Tom. Tom, however, explained, “I never wanted any of Rick's girlfriends." Rick went on to explain: “Tom is a better person than 1, higher morals,- better understanding and love for his fellow man while I sometimes get sick of people." Torn says he likes to keep the car cleaner but Rick has nicer hair. There is also a difference in that Tom has more sense of the value of money whereas Rick spends it all over the place. In closing, the twins had words of wisdom to share. Tom said, “You can say a lot about how hard life is, but where would you be without it?" Rick ended with, "I'd rather be rich and healthy than poor and sick." Specials Mon. lop Beer 2/251 9-11 Tue, 6 Thur. RJP. nghls 2 for 1 8-12 Wed. Speaols by Chance-man Fri. Cr 50'. 2 for 1 5-9 Sun.

Show moreVote! Vote! Again we say, Vote! The other day we were reminiscing with last year’s Echo editors about last year‘s Student Body elections. Ah yes, those were the days! Days to make our blood run cold. Gone, this year, are the long hours of writing and rewriting stories to match the whims of the various candidates, gone are the accusations, the retorts, the clash of personalities on a grand scale! Yes compared with last year, this year’s Student Government elections are about as exciting as watching afternoon teleVision while sick with Russian Flu. This dull state of affairs, however, does not mean that voting is unimportant. As we have mentioned before in this column, Student Government is an important element on this campus. We urge all students to vote today. The question is: who for? This year's election offers a pleasant choice. Both teams are highly qualified and have plenty of potential for effective leadership. The election of either team would be a happy state of affairs we think for Student Government. Of the two teams. however, we like the team of Kevin Bonderud and Lynn Schmidtke. Bonderud and Schmidtke have shown a refreshing interest in academic affairs at Augsburg. Nothing would please us more than to see Student Government, the voice of the student body, become a forceful spokesman for student concerns about academics at this College. Bonderud and Schmidtke would both be strong effective leaders who. we think, could accomplish quite a bit while in office. This is not to say that the team of Lisa Radosevich and Gary Rorman are all that bad. They have articulated many of the disatisfactions and frustrations many students feel when dealing with Augsburg. They have many interesting ideas and lots of enthusiasm. So, who to vote for? We like to imagine that you are all sharp young folks who can make your own decisions. So look at the issues, study the candidates and vote. Above all, vote! Gameroom To the Editor: Lately it seems that Augsburg students' use of the gameroom is being stifled by non-Augsburg students. The policy in the gameroom is posted “I.D. REQUIRED." This policy, how- ever, is not being enforced. As students who enjoy the use of the gameroom and who, through our tuition money, pay for using the gameroom, we are extremely irritated that we do not have priority in the gameroom. On Sunday, February 16, at 6:30 p.m., both foosball tables and two pool tables were used by non-Augsburg students. We feel that the policy of the required l.D. should be enforced. Nate Peterson Hugh Pruitt Commencement An Open Letter to the 1978 Senior Class and the Faculty: Recently a problem has arose concerning the process of choosing a speaker for the Commencement Pro- gram. Seniors were invited to present names of possible speakers to myself and other A senior class representatives. Fifteen names were received and presented by myself to the Commence- ment Committee in November. The speaker chosen; Former Governor Elmer Anderson, was not on this list. {Elmer Anderson was chosen for convenience, he wanted to speak, plus he has done a lot for the college; ex-Board of Regent and presently Chairman of the Bush Foundation.) On February 24 Rollie Bockbrader and myself had a meeting with President Anderson, Eric Spore joined us later. One problem of getting a commence- ment speaker her at Augsburg is that we do not give Honorary Degrees. Big deal, you say? Fact: Augsburg is the only college in Minnesota which does not give Honorary Degrees. Fact: Augsburg is the only college in the ALC which does not give Honorary Degrees. You say, good, Augsburg is not buckling under pressure. Fact: Augsburg was the only Twin Cities college whose commence- ment last year was not on the six and ten o'clock news. The Public Relations staff would be in ecstasy for weeks if somehow Augsburg received 2-3 minutes of TV airtime. But the news media thought enough of Sam Erwin speaking at St. John's commencement last year to cover his speech. Continued on page 5 l have seen a development at Augsburg College over the years which worries me a little. , H I call it “an isolation of interest.” Students and faculty mem- 1 hers have become so immersed in their own areas, organizations and activities, that the kind of crossover which should be the hallmark of a liberal arts college is diminishing and we have be- come separate pockets of individual interest. IGranted, it takes time and energy, if not sheer will power, to direct one's participation toward the activities of others at the college. If one’s goal is excellence, scholastic or otherwi :. the narrowing of one’s focus becomes essential. We cannot af' 7rd to be spread out as thin as the glaze on a hot cross him. At the same time, college years provide opportunities to broaden our appreciation of what others outside our own personal area of interest are doing, thereby becoming truly liberally educated individuals. Tunnel vision of the mind, quarantined interest of the spirit, circumscribed activity of bodily effort can be- come the marks of an illiberal person I Do our splendid athletes ever go to hear an Augsburg band or choir concert? Do our fine musicians ever take time for hockey or basketball games? Are drama students involved in the visual arts? How many science majors stop to look at the art exhibits in the Center? How many philosophy majors ever watched a wrestling match? Are nursing students interested in student government? I’m not picking on anyone, believe me; only trying to illustrate that students and faculty can contribute to a balkanization of the community by fostering isolated states of mind and parochial personal participation. I confess only to wondering if this community of scholars at Augsburg College can restore “an interlace of interest" so that the threat of narrowness will not overcome a prized characteristic of our kind of institution, namely, breadth of intellectual, aesthetic and physical activity. My hope is that we do not become so segmented as a college that we reﬂect our emerging campus geography with muscle at one end, mind at the other, and music {along with art) in the middle. Let's mix it up a little. Take a tuba player to a baseball game or a goalie to a concert by the jazz ensemble. Try it—you’ll like it. Thank you very much, Erv Inniger. By STEVE WEHRENBERG Erv Inniger's basketball team didn't really impress me much the first time I saw it. When coach Bill Caris introduced me, an impressionable high school senior who was eagerly trying to decide which “college of his choice" to attend the next fall, to Auggie basketball during the 1973 Lutheran Brotherhood Tournament, thoughts of the shining H.P. Skoglund athletic complex at sister college St. Olaf paraded in front of my eyes. My prophetic (or so I thought) vision was rudely interupted by Auggie cagers whooping about like drunken savages in shocking pink and marooned striped warm-up suits that looked as if they were purchased at a Barnum and Bailey close-out sale. For a minute I wondered if Si Milby, whoever he was, had bought them. I would have laughed uproariously, but the chance of disturbing the row of subdued life insurance salesmen and their wives who sat placidly in front of me on the “visitors” side of the gym wasn't worth the risk. Fortunately, I came back for a second helping of Augsburg and Auggie basketball later that year during the annual “Parents Day" festivities in February. This time I sat on the “home” side of the court. I wanted to be inside looking out, as the prisoners say. It was remarkably different from my first encounter. I found myself roaring and cheering and stamping my feet with an overﬂow crowd of Auggies. It was us against the Scots of Macalaster in the last game of the season, and what a battle it was. The Mac cheerleaders, who apparently had attended a more lib- eral cheerleading clinic than the Auggie gals, shouted, “Come on Quittman Pinckett: we know you can sink it," and “Leap, leap, get up off your feet." Our side countered with “Auggie Power" and hoped to drown out the Crosstown rivals with three successive stomps of the feet on rattly bleachers. It was as wild and exciting as any State Tournament game. Besides the fanfare was the action on the court, which rivaled the NBA playoffs for tenacity. But in the end, Macalaster, despite the fact that they had the best cheerleaders I had ever seen, succumbed. The same team that had looked so clownish the first time I saw it won at the buzzer on a 30-foot shot. The crowd went nuts and spilled out onto the ﬂoor to congratulate the players. And a tall man with long, dark sideburns wearing {it had to be) a leisure suit and smiling ear to ear grabbed the microphone out of the student announcer's hand and began a siloquoy right out on the court. He thanked his loyal fans for coming to the game and for supporting him Continued on page 8 March 10. 1978

Show morelast year's deficit. Ice Arena averaging $135,000 in losses per year By JOHN KARASON Staff Writer Since its construction four years ago. the Augsburg College Ice Arena has consistently lost approximately $135,000 per year. Recently a task force was set up to examine this problem. While no firm conclusions have been reached. it is clear so far that the Arena was built after a faulty study was done on its economic feasibility. According to Ed Sabella. a committee member. the function of the ice Arena Task Force is “to look at the arena to see if it's feasible and review alternatives." —Staﬂpho!o by Sheri Tamle Burt Fosse, Director of Planning and Facility Development and a task Force member. said in regard to the arena. "The intent when the project was put together and when it was presented by the administration to the faculty and to the board was that it would take care of the cost. That did not come about. They (the teachers) are very worried about that, and rightly so." The arena lost $135,000 last year and has done so since its construction four years ago. Although the total has varied by as much as $10,000. the arena has consistently lost money. “That's a very significant subsidy." Fosse said about The “Task Force" has concluded. according to committee document ‘Exhibit D'. that “the consultant's report (which lead to the construction of the arena] was not a valid report to base development of the projct." The document later states. “A closer scrutiny of the report at the time by Augsburg officials should have raised questions about the report's validity." Ed Sabella added that, “The feasibility study should have been scrutinized more closely." Rink Management Services drew up the report for Augsburg in 1973. “The thrust of which was that the situation in Minneapolis was the same as in Boston (the city that Minneapolis was compared tol." Fosse said. The conclusion of the report, he added. was that it would generate “enough revenue to pay for itself." Fosse finds several problems with the report that were not looked at before construction. The report “just did not distinguish the difference between the Boston area and the Minneapolis area." Fosse said. Such differences include differences in lifestyle and climate. “The more serious (problem) that was not detected is that the season here is much shorter." Fosse concluded. He said that activity at the rink is very slow during August, September, October, April, and May. Sabella stated that the primary reason for building the arena was “to bring revenue to the institution." Other benefits “in my opinion, were secondary." he said. The committee has investigated “to some degree" other assets of the arena such as its effect on Public Relations and the Hockey Program, said Sabella. He concluded that these would be difficult to "quantify." Fosse thinks they are “intangible. but they do exist." Fosse reported that hockey coach Ed Saugestad estimates that over the last four years approximately 85 students have been attracted to Augsburg because of the rink. The figure is more than double the 31 students who enrolled at Augsburg before the rink was built. 0f the 85. Fosse says 62 are “still in school." Task Force member Jerry Gorasimo said. “I think that the attractiveness of the arena is important " He added that the hockey championship will probably ease the deficit. Sabella said that the task force has defined the main problem areas of the facility. "The remaining problem is thrashing out alternatives and research- ing them so we don't end up with (anotherl feasibility report." he said. He also mentioned that other areas had to be investigated. such as legal con- straints. “Those kinds of things have to be looked at." he said. "We have a problem and we're trying to solve it." Sabella said. “The question is, how can we turn this albatross around?" (The report on alternative suggestions was not ready at the time this issue went to print.) College loses money, spurs anger as a landlord By DAVID RAETHER Editor The West Bank-Cedar-Riverside area is a part of Minneapolis which is heavily populated by renters. There are. in fact. only 15 persons in the whole area who still own their own houses. It is an older part of the city which is in transition from numerous older single family dwellings and duplexes to an uncertain future. For the past five years the relationship be— tween renters and landlords has been a particularly troubled one in this area. The problems began in earnest several years ago when a firm. Cedar-Riverside Associates (C.R.A.l forged a plan for re- developing the area into a heavily populated center of new high»rises and other smaller apartment complexes. Old-time residents of the area, mostly younger and of liberal to radical politics reacted with anger against the redevelopment. in the ensuing years a Tennants Union. a Project Area Committee and an Environmental Defense Team were formed to protect tennant rights and ﬁght the planned redevelopment of the area. The Union has led several rent strikes. and is currently involved in the on-going legal battle with C .R.A. over the lease of the New Riverside C afe. Augsburg College is one of three major landlords on the West Bank. (The University of Minnesota and C.R.A. being the other twol. and has been for March 10. 1978 many years. Augsburg seems to have become a landlord more out of necessity than out of a desire for additional income. The extent of Augsburg's land holdings is approximately 22 acres. The land is bounded by 1-94 on the south. Riverside avenue and 6th street on the north. 20th avenue on the west and 25th avenue on the east. This area excludes. of course. Murphy Square. which is a city park. Not all of the dwellings in this area are owned by the College. Such is the case with the large yellow house on Butler Place next to the football field. A few other buildings are owned by Dr. Frank Preston, an internist who has a practice on Riverside Avenue across the street from St. Mary's Hospital. Preston owns several buildings on South 8th Street near the football ﬁeld. Doug Wasko, director of Auxillary Services at the College. is responsible for Augsburg's landlordship. According to Wasko. Augsburg currently has 43 renters. All are on 30 day leases. These renters generate a fair amount of income for the College. In 1976-77 Wasko reported that the College brought in $33,500 from its leased renters. Sustaining these buildings. however. is a signiﬁcant cost problem. particularly most of the buildings are quite old and are on mortgages. In the same 1976—77 year the cost to Augsburg as a landlord of these properties was 548.300. The reason for this higher cost, according to Wasko. is that every year several mortgages fall due. Last year, for instance. four mortgages fell due. This year five more will fall due. Another problem for the College is that it must continue paying off the mortgages on buildings which no longer exist. For instance. in the lot where the Music Building now stands. were five buildings. These were torn down to make room for the new Music Building. The College. however. must still make payments on these buildings. This is also the case for the buildings torn down to make way for expanded parking facilities. said Wasko. Recently the College hired a retired city housing inspector. Mr. Lee Robinson. to do a study on all Augsburg annex housing and rented units. Robinson's report is expected to determine which structures the College will continue to use and which the College will close. Robinson's report is not in yet. so there is still no firm committment. according to Wasko. as to which units Augsburg will close. Wasko, however. did say that any structure which would cost more than 54000—55000 to bring up to the various city codes would probably be closed because of the expense. Augsburg's reputation as a landlord is. at best, mixed. With the City Housing Authority it seems quite good. Mr. Jim Strong. housing inspector for the West Bank area, reported that his office only occasionally receives complaints from residents. "Those complaints are usually taken care of fairly quickly by Augsburg," said Strong. Strong also added that the College currently has no complaints pending. With the West Bank Tennants Union, however, Augsburg has a poor reputation. Ann Waterhouse, a staff person of the Union, says that the Union receives numerous complaints from residents about Augsburg. Most of these complaints. she said, are maintenance complaints. She also added that many of the residents say that the maintenance work done is “shoddy” and that the house is often left in a mess after the work is ccompleted. Richard Metcalf, a member of the Cedar-Riverside Project Area Committee (P.A.C.l also voiced disgust with Augsburg as a landlord. He said that he has had numerous dealings with Augsburg. and that none of them have been very pleasant. He said that the maintenance work done is usually insufficient and is just patch—up work in situations where major work is necessary. Metcalf's chief complaint with Augsburg is that the College has taken no committment to repair the structures. "They have been grossly negligent on some of their repairs." Continued on page 7 3

Show moreGarfunkel’s 'Wotermork': wonderful Reviewed By KATHARINE E. SKIBBE I remenrber almost breaking into tears when my favorite group, Simon and Garfunkel. quit to go their musical ways. It was only their albums that my parents would let us kids listen to at a level audible to our teenage ears. When dodrtfnl as to what a friend may like to listen to, and wanting to impress that person wﬂh my great tale in music, to this day I usually reach for my Simon and Garfunkel albums fir-n. l have walked to their tunes while pushing a cart through supermarket aisles. have heardthem played over and over again by young aspiring folk artists, and havssssnthemusedasasedativetomellowaroomfullofpeople. As separate artists, both Simon and Garfunkel have been able to develop and mime in their own separate ways. Both have released a number of albums with songs diathavequicklyclimbedonthetop-wcharts. ' Art Garfunkel has just released an album to top all other albums. Watermark deserves to be a priority on every person’s Wax Museum list. It may be the album to nuke your incomplete album collection complete. Already “(What A) Wonderful World" has hit area radio stations and juke boxes as an up and coming all-time favorite tune. The song, an old Sam Cooke piece, features the combined talents of Simon. Garfunkel, and James Taylor. There‘s a line in this song for every serious academic student at Augsburg. One that I can relate to is: “Don’t know much about a science book/Don't know much about the French I took." Or how about the universal feeling: “Don‘t know nothin' 'bout nothin’ at all" that seems to hit us all at midterm time. Ten of the 12 songs were written by Jimmy Webb. Along with the wide variety of songs on the album, I found some lyrical gems and beautifully melodic stanzas. The album has a number of simple. touching love songs, many of them expressing the hurt of losing a lover. The words, “It's Someone Else/I’ve known it all the time/Known that you're not mine/And will never be," from the song “Someone Else' ' rolled. the pain of realizing that the person you love is in love with someone else. One of my favorites, “Shine On Me," simply states what I wish I could tell some of my special friends: "You’re still the best person I ever knew/ There were a thousand little things that I was always just about to say to you." The song that appeals to my spontaneous grab-someone—and-do—something-wild- and-crazy—for—once mood is “Saturday Suitz” Why don 't you put on your Saturday Suit; Let ’8 fly away We can find ourselves a little cafe Where the street people come and play And let the wine and the sunshine blow our minds away. Saturday Suit me ﬁne today. As in Breakaway and Angel Klare, Garfunkel has put together words and music so skillftu that one can’t decide whether they enjoy the lyrical vocal parts or the intregal instrumental parts better. What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful album. Continued from page 4 So why does Augsburg not give Honorary Degrees? The answer can be summed up by President Anderson. “The faculty have apet phrase they use when ever this issue comes up, ‘that’s the way it's always been'." Isaybunktot‘ndltion. As I've heard community people say over and over again. “Augsburgisone of the best kept secrets in the Twin Cities." And the faculty with their ‘not giving into preaaure' isolates itself from the community because we tend to get only speakers who have a ﬁnancial or other ‘mvadment in the college. Idonotview giving Honorary as ‘succumbing to pressure . Honorary Degrees, for qualified people, as I see it, could only help the college. ﬁeve Hofﬁneyer, Senior Class President Questionable Some recent articles in the Echo are very disturbing. Not only are pseudo- nymns used—and that is a questionable editorial policy—but racial slurs are evident (“a quota on Orientals"). Instead of political discussion. writers are practicing “red baiting." “Joseph McCarthy" practices such “red baiting" which is calling people cmnmuniats without discussing the issue of communism at all. Issues have been hopelessly confused by equating Com- munism with Fascism which have nothing in common. Augsburg is an academic institution and not a kangaroo court.

SKIBBE Arts Editor Trinity Lutheran Church, located at let Avenue at 5th Street South. will provide the stage for Andanazy Ballet as they present “Los Seises," a dance interpretation of Christ's Passion. The story is about 10 dancing choir boys from the town of Seville who have been practicing for Easter services. When their choir-master leaves them alone for a while, the boys dance their own interpretation of the liturgical meaning of Easter. “Los Seises" is considered a memorial custom in Seville. In 1264 Pope Urban IV instituted the Feast of Corpus Christi. He invited the clergymen and lay persons to celebrate this festival with song and other ways of expressing joy. He proclaimed the Feast day a day to “Sing the faith, dance the hope, and jump for charity." In especially Spain, many faithful Christians took his words literally and sang or danced before partaking in the Holy Eucharist. Various changes took place in costume and interpretation of the dance between 1264 and 1695. Since 1695 the place and manner for the ballet has changed little. The congregation at Trinity invites everyone to share with them during this special Passion Sunday celebration. The service begins at 11:00 A.M. Chamber Orchestra presents recital Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra members Timothy Paradise and Layton James. clarinetist and pianist respect- ively, will present a recital at the College of St. thomas O'Shaughnessy Education- al Center Auditorium on Monday, March 13, at 8:00 p.m. Their program will begin with “Suite for Clarinet and Piano" by Rameau, and continues with works by Haydn. Hindemith and Sigfried Karg-Elert. “Grands duo Concertante." Op. 48, by C.M. von Weber completes the program. The recital is sponsored by the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities in cooperation with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend.

DeMuth, 3223 Ernst St., Franklin Park. lllinnis 60131_ Arlene, Write in Spore-Shorts. Eric Bly and Jensen to present a special reading By KATHARINE E. SKIBBE Arts Editor The opportunity to combine my two academic loves, art and English, or to participate in an activity that highlights both subjects does not come along very often. There have been many times when I have gone to an art museum to take in a special exhibit or just to ramble through the galleries. On these ex- cursions, the only time that I ever feel as though my knowledge of the English language is used is when I read the title cards under the paintings or sculptures. And as I read HAMLET, or any other literary masterpiece, sometimes it's hard to visualize and conceptualize images beyond the printed word. On Wednesday, Mar. 15, my hunger of combining art and English may be satisﬁed at Robert Bly’s poetry reading. This will be more than just an evening of recitation of Bly’s written word. He will be reading the poems from his new book, THIS BODY IS MADE OF CAMPHOR AND GOPHERWOOD. within the setting of the books actual illustrations. The book was illustrated by Gendron Jensen, an artist from Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Gendron works with the often forgotten medium of pencil. Currently there is a display in the Alumni lounge of some of his work. The Tortoise Bones is one of the many series of drawings that Gendron has done. He has also completed a series of the keystone plate of small turtles. a series that includes dragonfly wings and the pod of the May apple, and a series on the bones of a yearling deer. For THIS BODY IS MADE OF CAMPHOR AND GOPHERWOOD, Gendron did a series of snail shells. He will be putting up this series on the 15th in the Center‘s Main Lounge in time for Bly’s reading there at 8:00 p.m. Robert Bly is also a native of Minnesota. He has written a number of volumes of poetry, helped to translate poems and some fiction, and also written interviews. THIS BODY IS MADE OF CAMPHOR AND GOPHERWOOD was published last year. As Bly's fifth major collection of poems, THIS BODY IS MADE OF CAMPHOR AND GOPHER- WOOD is now being considered for a Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. There are 20 poems contained in the book that reflect Bly‘s unusual talent for combining elements of spirituality, imagination. and eroticism. The majority of prose poems center on the body. Even though you may not be striving for a double major in art or English, I think you will find Wednesday night an enjoyable, and perhaps even educational evening. Robert Bly and Gendron Jensen are both powerful and signiﬁcant artists. This will be a rare opportunity for the Augsburg community to hear a reading by one of America's most important contemporary poets.

Show moreClose election possible It’s Bonderud vs. Radosevich By SUE BONNER News Editor In today’s general elections for Student Government positions the featured race will be between the team of Kevin Bonderud and Lynn Schmidtke and the team of Lisa Radosevich and Gary Rorman for the positions of Student Body President and Vice President. The two teams survived as winners in sparse voting on last week's primary, and will face each other today after a furious final week of campaigning. Today‘s general elections for student government positions were preceded by last week's candidate-panel discussions with Student Body President and VicePresdential candidates and last Friday’s primary election. On Thursday, March 2 in the College Center a panel discussion was held with the Student Body President and Vice-President candidates: Lisa Radose- vich and Gary Rorman, Craig Hart and Charlie Fernandez, and Kevin Bonderud and Lynn Schmidtke. The panel members who directed two questions to each team were Roald Sateren, Joan Slater, Kathy Yakal, and Walter Bradley. Various students in the audience also asked questions. Lisa Radosevich introduced her team and platform by explaining that she and Roman want student government to be an “active student voice and louder in the decision—making process" at Augs— burg. She stressed that a main area of concern in their platform is “tuition and room and board increases. We want to know if the money is being spent on student priorities." ~Sta/lphato by Jan Maren Panelist Walter Bradley asked how they would deal with the lack of student involvement. Gary Rorman answered that student government has to “make students aware of what Student Senate is doing." Kathy Yakal asked in what ways they would deal with the administration and faculty; Rorrnan said that those groups must be made “aware that students are concerned." Craig Hart and Charlie Fernandez were the next candidates to be interviewed by the panel. Craig explained that “we are not running as a joke anymore. We wanted to have a primary and we want to win." Hart seriously explained their plat- form policies. He would like to reduce rates on pool and ping-pong, and also would like to enforce the rule that non—Augsburg students can not use the gameroomt Hart said, “Augsburg students pay for the gameroom." He continued, saying that because Augs- burg student do pay for the facility, top priority should be given to them in using it. The other two teams running for Student Body President and Vice- President have remained silent on this issue. Panel member Joan Slater asked Fernandez to explain their policy of getting more publicity for Augsburg. Fernandez wants to see Augsburg extend its public relations to the East and West Coasts to attract more students. He suggested emphasizing the school-in-the-city aspect of Augsburg to do this. The team of Kevin Bonderud and Lynn Schmidtke was the last to be questioned by the panel. Bonderud introduced himself and his running mate by explaining the effectiveness of their diverse backgrounds. He also brieﬂy explained the job of the Student Body President, stressing that the President must “effectively work with faculty, staff, Regents, and the student govem- ment commissions" in order to represent the student body. Schmidtke said the Vice-President's main duty would be to motivate Senate on student concerns and issues. She emphasized the importance of student government‘s “responsibility to stu- dents and its interest in the overall objectives of the college." Panelist Roald Sateren asked how they would express the students' views regarding tuition, room, and board increases to the Regents, faculty, and administrators. Bonderud answered that he and Lynn had recently talked with Acting Vice-Presidnet of Finance Wayne Pederson about the tuition rise. Pederson told them that increasing energy costs, increasing financial aid, and increasing maintenance costs caused next year‘s increase. “Student input on tutition must come in the fall when the decision (to raise tuition) is made," added Bonderud. Sateren asked Schmidtke if there were any ways to keep rising tuition from directly hitting the students. She explained that “Augsburg depends yearly on the students who come," and that they are optimistic that publicizing Augsburg will bring in more students. Panel member Kathy Yakal asked Bonderud if he felt that it was Student in today’s election —Stalf photo by Charlie Fernandez Senate's job to motivate apathetic students. Some apathy always exists, and some students don't want to get involved, answered Bonderud. He said that Student Senate's job is to let the students know what is being done for them. The primary election was held last Friday. Not only Student Body President and Vice-Presidential teams were voted on. Three people vied for positions on the ballot for the office of Junior Class At—Large Representative: Lisa Carlson, 54 votes; John Kruse, 30 votes; and Gwendolyn Clark, 30 votes. All three candidates will be on the junior class ballot because of the tie between Kruse and Clark. The Sophomore On-Campus Repre- sentative position was tried for by three candidates: Kris Johnson with 50 votes and Lori Dokken with 37 votes beat John Nitton, 27 votes, to be listed on the ballot today. In the Student Body President and Vice«President primary election, Kevin Bonderud and Lynn Schmidtke received 297 votes, Lisa Radosevich and Gary Rorman received 125 votes, and Craig Hart and Charlie Fernandez received 52 votes. A total of 498 students voted, equivalent to 31% of the student body. Remember to cast. your votes for Student Body President and Vice- President and for your class President and Representatives.

He suggested that interested persons contact Mark Depaolis. arts editor. for more information. Murphy Square accepts contributions from all Augsburg students. faculty and staff. said Wehrenberg. “You don't have to be a pendant or a registered poet to submit something." he said. “But regardless of who you are." he continued. "manuscripts should be typewritten on dittos. Prose pieces should be double-spaced." Other requirements are that no person may submit more than ﬁve poems. and that prose pieces should not be more than sowsooo words. “We just don't have a lot of space for novellas.“ Wehrenberz stated.

Sabo said in an open letter dated January 25, 1978. Sabo was first elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 1960 at the age of 22. He was in his first year 01.v of college and he defeated an incumbent DFLer. Carl Hageland. Sabo has served the district continuously and was the youngest member of the House until 1967. Reﬂecting on his days at Augsburg Sabo said, “I like to call my history major my Carl Chrislock major. I don't know how many classes I took from Carl. Quite a few." People who know the two men have said that you can see Chrislock's personality in Sabo. Sabo was married in 1963 and in 1969 he was elected House DFL Minority Leader.

Now in his sixth year as Speaker. Sabo has often been called the most powerful man in Minnesota government. Time magazine named him one of 200 rising young leaders in America. Sabo has received the Distinguished Alumni Citation from Augsburg College. Sabo told ECHO last week some of his best satisfaction and feeling of achievement has come from major fiscal reform in 1970, the development of the best state housing agency in the nation. and the passage of the Comprehensive Health Act in 1976. Sabo as Speaker is usually the driving force behind major legislation originating in the House. When asked if he felt that passage of a no-site stadium bill was a major accomplishment of the DFL leadership he replied. “I certainly wouldn't call passage of the stadium bill a major accomplish- ment. We've done many other things much more important than that. But I do feel a new major league sports facility is needed." Senate meets for Interim By SUE BONNER Staff Writer Student Senate met on Wednesday, January 11, for an Interim meeting. Student Body President Eric Spore announced that the CPC [College Planning Committee) estimates a decrease in enrollment for next fall. in which case some adjustments will possibly be made in the number of faculty and staff. The CPC, according to Spore, has also discussed the possibility of paying students a subminimum wage next year; this would mean that the college could pay a “minimum of 85% of the $2.65 hourly wage." A brief discussion was held regarding the likelihood of student disagreement with this proposal. Kevin Bonderud. Junior Class Presi- dent and acting Chairman Pro tempore. announced that the Housing Committee has asked to meet with Linda Schrempp, Director of Student Life. to discuss potential problems with the housing system. Senate allocated $550 to David Raether. editor of the Echo, for an extra issue to be printed after Interim. Sue Bonner and Kevin Bonderud were approved by Student Senate to be on the Student Personnel Committee. which deals with freshman orientation pro- grams. student personnel services. and student health and housing. A brief discussion was held on vandalism and concerns of safety, cost. and maintenance were voiced by many representatives Some have labeled Sabo a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. Saba said he “doesn't like descriptive phrases. Ilike to thinkI don't fit into any of those." Sabo emphasized that he believed in spending wisely and not giving away dollars you don‘t have. “In that sense," Saba went on “the federal level will be a new experience for me. At the state level we're used to paying for programs with money we have. at the federal level they just borrow." Saba is no stranger to national issues. He is a past president of the National. Conference of State Legislators. past Chairman of the Intergovernmental Re- lations Committee of the NCSL. and is a member of the New Coalition. Sabo spoke highly of Donald Fraser in his statement announcing his candidacy and told ECHO that should Fraser fail to get endorsement for the US. Senate and decide he wants to run for re-election to Congress, he will not oppose him. Meanwhile Auggies will not be seeing him. his wife Sylvia and two daughters at home basketball games as much anymore. Fridays are good nights for neighborhood meetings. coffee parties. etc. Martin will be out campaigning.

Show moreColehour has 5 goal game Auggies, Colehour, lst in M.I.A.C. By LARRY COUTURE Staff Writer The Auggie hockey team, led by senior winger Mike Colehour’s 5 goal game. crushed St. John's 6.1 last Saturday to remain undefeated in conference play and to move into sole possession of ﬁrst place in the MIAC with a 6-0 record. Colehour, with assists from linemates Stan Blom and Mike Erickson, has been tearing up MIAC opponents with a well rounded set of talents. In St. Peter Colehour did it by making star Gustie defenseman Brian Perlich look ﬂat footed as he broke down the ice, moved to his left and crammed in the first of his two clutch goals in the Auggie 5-2 victory. Coach Ed Saugestad can be given partial credit for isolating Colehour and Jim Peterson on Perlich. Saugestad felt that Perlich left the outside move open. Colehour and Peterson specialize in going outside and around defensemen. St. John's watched Colehour do it all. ’l‘wo on ones, in the slot, tip ins, and rebounding—Jive goals against a major MIAC opponent. Colehour remains his modest self through it all as he explained the St. John's game. “I guess Ijust had a really on day. A bit lucky too. The goalie was left handed which really helps a right handed hockey player." Colehour was quick to stress teamwork. Specials Mon. Top Deer 2/254 9-11 Tue. 6 Thur. RIP. Nights 2 fort 8-12 Wed.

I think we've overcome the inconsistency we had earlier in the season. I hope we can win the MIAC all alone this year." Augsburg now has two proven goalies. Junior Tom Kulenkamp got his first start against No. 1 ranked Bemidji and kept the Auggies close in a narrow 4-3 loss. Dick Bain was once again ﬂawless, this time in the Gustavus triumph. Kulenkamp also had an outstanding game against St. John's—43 saves in a wide open game. The lone goal he did allow was a perfect feed to the slot. The senior line of Jim Peterson, Steve Nelson, and Tim Date has been coming around. Nellie kept Augsburg unde- feated and untied with a goal with 17 seconds left in overtime against St. Thomas. Kulenkamp was also sharp in the 3—2 win which has to be called the most exciting game this year. Gary Hughes, Jim Peterson, and Vern McIntyre have to be cited for what could be termed intense hustle. Hughes is the best defenseman in the MIAC, maybe the best in the NAIA. He knows when to hand back, when to come up, and when not to take a penalty. Few players even try to go around him. Peterson has shown amazing quickness at left wing and his shots should start going in soon. McIntyre has been an effective penalty killer with his scrappy and aggressive play. St. John's had one power play in which they never had possession of the puck inside the Augsburg blue line. Jim Freeberg, Jeff Blake, and Chuck McCan continue to excite Auggie fans with ﬂashy play. Once a line shift it seems one of them breaks in alone or on a two on one. The problem has been putting the puck in the net. Both Blake and Freeburg were denied breakaway goals against St. John's. A group made up of mainly JV players walked on St. Olaf 11-2 during interim. Neither St. Olaf nor St Mary’s belong in MIAC hockey action. Tonight Augsburg hosts Gustavus in what could prove to be the best home game of the year—a certain sellout. The fanatical Gustie fans and their yellow buttons are sure to be on hand. It is great beating the GACS. Be there.

Quite, obviously, my last letter was too much for you to handle. Then again, you have suffered a severe loss of brain cells lately, due to demon and pizza with J .G. Inasmuch as you expressed wishes to keep letters flying back and forth for the entire year, and inasmuch as you have not been able to come up with a come back, I will restart the written abuses of both you and your hometown with something more suited to your level. All the mothers in Clarksville wear army boots. Your mother started the trend. love and kisses, The Kid of Continental Did you have a deprived childhood? You seem to have this problem when it comes to spelling Clarkfield. You always spell it—Clarksville. Is this simply a mistake or is Clarksville some small town in OHIO where you went looking for girls and the only thing that looked back at you was a ten-year old hound dog. Now, if it's a spelling error, maybe I should get my eight year old sister to give you a free spelling lesson. But if it's a bad memory, I suggest you talk to your pet cow, (isn't that how South St. Paul solves all their problems?) Clarkfield never did have a stockyard, our air is too fresh. Cows like a smelly environment that‘s why they moved to South St. Paul from Poland. Respectfully yours, One of the 18 men who lives on ninth p.s.
