Show morePage Three I '— lllDBMk To the Editor: has the subtle ability to write with Iwould like to congratulate the Misp- humor, and demonstrates it well in en staff on a most excellent paper. At last there is an Augsburg paper I can read, saved from the alumni platitudes and empty Skogenisms that characterized the Echo. I, too, enjoy laughing at and perhaps even "undermining the Augsburg System." I, and many others I have talked to, can identify with the Whisper because there is not a wall of formality between me and its pages. I even read the sports news in the last issue: a first for me. I feel, however, that there is an underlying attitude of flippancy toward news articles that for me, at least, Spoils the humor and becomes almost distasteful. For example, in reference to the WhisEr of February 4, I appre- . . l elated Bruce Anderson's rev1ew of Punch and J udy‘,‘ it was a good review. And although I, because of my lack of know- ledge of "high society", would agree that most people go to the opera to be seen, Mr. Anderson has no knowledge of the motives of those attending and thus has no right to pass judgment. Also, as a theater buff I resent being told "If you are a masochist you'll enjoy it. " Perhaps I would enjoy the actors' stage presence and technique deepite the plot. the right to form my own opinion. Another example in regard to the same issue: Jim Grossman definitely At any rate, I reserve his article about the Larson’s robbery and the inadequacy of the Midwest Patrol. Why did I choose the word "Inadequacy"? Perhaps stupidity would have been a better choice, for Mr. Grossman's attitude, hidden behind a guise of straightforwardness, made it apparent that officer Babcock was stupid as well as unqualified by using such phrases as "nervously pace, " "clutching his Midwest Patrol radio" and "in typical Midwest Pa- trol fashion--a day late." I'm afraid Mr. Grossman will have to back his generalizations with facts, and not that of an open fly. Also, as a theater major at Augsburg I appreciate very much any publicity of drama productions done at the Little Theatre, and most de- lighted by an article about the Child- ren's play, "Norman the Doorman." I do feel however, that in an article of publicity the correct dates and times should be given. Perhaps it is due to the off-hand and ironic attitude that I enjoy the Whisgr as much as I do, but I feel that needless editorializing and color- ed language will alienate me from its contents as much as Skogen's blatant statements of opinion made me ignore the E_ch_o.

Show morepage rag, " H E o nré‘é- EHERMS SPEAKS ,To the Editoiék ' ' It was with (great interest that I read the review oftDr. Bernhard Christensen's Si M9193; of Agggburg. Since I have had Mrs. \‘C‘ istensen for a teacher in two"English classes, and since I have established a very close relatiofiship With both of these , people, I was a little distiirbed to read what I believed to be a very thoughtless review. After re-reading Dr. Christensen's pamphlet, I'm more than a littlé’disturbed - in fact I'm very upset about the lack of cri- tical thinking pit into that review. First, the author of the review in question implies that Dr. Christensen‘s pamphlet is not well-written. I suggest that you re-read the pamphlet carefully. Structurally, it exhibitSproper grammar. good paragraph structure, and cohesive organization, which is more than I can say for the W review. Granted, Dr. Christensen injects a great deal of emotion into his article; how can you know a man as long as he knew Melby and not be thus affected? I think Dr. Christensen has done a masterful job of pointing out both Melby's good and bad points. Again I suggest a re-reading (particularly the section starting on page 15). There is no attempt to make Melby into a superman. Nowhere is Melby compared to God in any way; I have a fantastic imagination, and I read be- - _-.-..- u. “y u v s . ’[Tl‘orall JilQO Esmm ,jjsion to take the early test, check with 1 Dr. Dalifli‘-,14215; H 7 r ‘ tween lines well, but I just don't get feeling from Dr. Christensen's article}; And since when does a medievimv 1 knight compare to God? I suggest } a discussion with the history depart- 1 ment to find out what "battered i armor" looks like in order to get a better picture of what Melby's sweater looks like. Anyone who confuses a ‘ medieval knight with God has some i ' problems, to say the least. J‘ \ Finally, I must agree that there is some element of humor-in the book. L . _ If you knew Dr. Christensen, you would find that he has a great sense of humor-3;, he can be both serious and humorous ‘ in describing a man who was not a I "churchman" but a "simple uncompli- cated Christian." The review of Dr. Christensen's article strikes me as a cutesiehcutésie put down of two men who have done much for this school. May I suggest that the reviewer read Dr. Chm-Rock's From Fjord ti Freeway, then re-read Si Melby, and then review. I'm sure many things would change.

Show more:2; S?” .c 031 vie CULTuRE CORONER5 Page Five W kiculEvoLuTwil ON CEMRAVENUE by Bruce Anderson Since its relocation on Cedar Ave- nue, Theatre in the Round has endowed the members of the Augsburg commun- ity a better opportunity to enhance their cultural education through the presen- tation of excellently performed plays that have a meaning for today's society. m Bitos is another triumph for the oldest successful , non-professional, theatrical group in the Twin Cities. Poor Bitos, by Jean Anouilh, exem— plifies not only man's ability for com— passion, but also man's uncontrollable urge to hate and destroy. The play relates the cruel revenge devised by Maxime and perpetrated by a group of French social elitists on the fanatical righteousness of Bitos, the local public pros' tutor. Maxime invites his friends, Bitos' old classmates, to a fancy dress party with the intention of completely humil- iating Bitos. They will destroy the characteristics of Bitos that they loathe; that is, his pride in always being the best in what ever he attempts and his self-righteous condemnation of the “second rate". Bitos comes to the party dressed as Robespierre , while the others come as Robespierre's associates after the French Revolution. This group then proceeds to attack Bitos with histor- ical facts. When Bitos realizes their intent he tries to leave, but the appear- ance of the young man, whom Bitos was going to prosecute, stopped him. The boy approached Bitos, pulled a gun loaded with blanks, and shot. Bitos fainted. While he was unconscious the play within a play technique reveals the true nature of Robespierre, and con— sequently of Bitos- The dream se- quence shows the change of Robespierre from a man who was for the people to a man who subjects the people to worse treatment in pursuit of his "truth". In the third act of the play the roles are reversed; the guests become those in pursuit of their "truth" and Bitos is the victim of their righteous- ness. Thus Anouilh shows that the actions of man are solely for the gratification of his own ego. The pride of man is the destruction of any political system through "the merciless cruelty of ab— solute principle." The acting in the lead roles was excellent. The only fault of the others was that their movements were slightly rough. The stereo sound system was very effective. The transitions which could have been abrupt because of ical changes in style were smoothly accomplished. Poor Bitos is playing on Feb, 12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28, and March 6, 7, 8. it is an engrossing and enter- taining example of the fact that a play can have a message and still be enjoi— able.

Show moreDo you feel me here next to nowhere but- right here Like death in free fall:~ # It is eleven twenty-five AM accord- ing to the clock in the student center and I have been standing next to the reception desk for nearly ten minutes experiencing the pathetic vibrations emanating from the walking dead of Augsburg college. Whispery forms ,of human beings slip silently by, leaving lazy air currents behind them. Next to the steps leading to the com- . mons, a group of students stand chat- ting quietly. Their forms are motion- less, their eyes grey like ancient, crusty copper pennies. Their mouths move in a manner that suggests some- thing important. But some unkown curse causes them to repress that im- portant something and they mumble incoherently about ski conditions. Herds of human forms pour through the main center doors. The zombies are dragging their lethargic feet to classrooms where they will sit like corpses waiting for the intellectual embalmers to fill their veins with the medicine of truth. In groups of ten or more they stroll past me and I blink in astonishment. Faces, some icy and hideous, others cold but beau- tiful like marble, turn toward me and smile. It is my crust of bread, my crumb of psuedo-nourishment that they toss to me with their neon smiles. One by one they turn to acknowledge me, and one by one they turn away again, as ifthe look of impendug doom on my face was' not clear enough. The air is unbearable. It is the stale freshness that one finds in ' well kept museums and antique shops. But then, as if someone had opened a window, my breath of fresh air comes sweeping through the door to- ward me, smiling brightly. I see her smile glisten among the dullness of poker faces and I thank God for breaths of fresh air. Her long black hair dangles beautiftu over her shoulders. She is prancing through the'door as others stumble and she avoids them. As we move closer to ' each other, I see her blue-grey eyes soften and then I realize that she too has been through hell this day. She too has Spent her morning with the living dead. We stand facing each other, each drinking deeply from the others wealth of sunshine, and then our lips ‘ l is; crash. The sound of genuine movement, ‘ of sincere love and passion has brought the mingling crowd to a sudden halt. The gears in their minds refuse to mesh and the people may be seen in awk- ward positions, each twisting his rubbery neck in our direction. The ldss was an excititg but daring man- euver. The dead are envious of kisses, for cold lips do little to stir the blood. The crowd mutters not a word. And for the first time there - a... ,. . “-1”... s r

The local Precinct Party Caucuses will be held Tuesday evening February , 24 at 7:30 P. M. somewhere in your lo- lcal neighborhood.

" The play whose title is taken from a quotation by the late President Eisenhower, was written by the members of the cast and uses varying forms of media including guitar music, flashing slides, and short scenes. The perfor- mance was humorous and satirical, knocking Eisenhower, Nixon, the great communist scare, Korea, and the teen- agers of that time. The different media helped to keep the interest ‘of the audience. The acting was well done, most of it being staged as a means of exagger- ating adding to the satirical mood of the review. In the scene "ASphalt Black- board", the players tried to depict the modern teen agers of the fifiies. Their use of slang from the fifties seemed ‘ somewhat confused with the slang of today, causing the performance to be less effective, but the rendition of songs sung during the performance added to the mood of the play. The atm08phere and decor of the building itself, was expressive of the attitude of the proprietors as well as characterizing the attitudes of youth today. The play as a whole was well done - both humorous and entertaining. If you're in the mood for light entertain- ment, the Brave New WorkshOp is a worthwhile place to spend an evening.

The play is an adaptation on the story by Don Freeman done by the cast. Actor Bob Tjaden deserves to be commended for his role of Norman. The guard, played by Stephen Larson, tries unsuccessfully to capture Norman and his mouse friends. The settirg is a museum, where Norman lives in the .- basement with some statues. Norman learns of a sculpture contest taking place upstairs in the museum. He de- cides to enter a sculpture and sneaks it upstairs. He ends up winning the contest. Heandhis friends are then accepted by the humans.- ' There were several techniques that were executed quite well. The use of audience participation was effective. The music and lyrics done by Rich Hoffman and Nadine Emerson were effective to the over- all performance.

Scoring balance was the highlight of both games last week. Five players reached double figures against the Gusties, with Dick Kelley pacing the team with a total of 18. Mike Haag added 16, Randy Johnson 11, and Gary Ellefson and John Ewert 10 each. Against the Cobbers, Kelley scored 20, while Gary syverson hit for 13 points and Ewert and Johnson each contributed 12. Ewert also contributed 18 rebounds against Concordia, a season high for the Auggies. After leading against the Gusties only 36—32 at the half, the Auggies came out and played steady ball in the second half to put the victory away. The Con- cordia game was more of a see-saw struggle. The Cobbers jumped out to a 6-0 lead. Before long, the Auggies led 17-10. Within three minutes, however, Concordia outscored the Auggies 21-1, and amassed a 31-18 lead.

KEVOLUTMN by Emmett Smith Cal Appleby is a man with ideas; to those who know of his work at Augs- burg he is "coordinator and colearner" of a series of remarkable courses in sociology being conducted four nights a week at Anoka and Hastings State Mental Hospitals as well as Stillwater State Prison and the Women's Reform- atory at Shakopee. These classes are. part of a program to initiate "a non— violent revolution in American educa— tion" and realize what Appleby feels to be the true purpose of education: "the natural joy of satisfying one's cur-- iosity. " The mode of learning at the hospit— als and prisons in unorthodox, to be sure. "But," says Appleby, "the im— plications of these groups as fieldwork components of social work courses have not been fully explored." While Appleby considers himself disillusion- ed with the traditional classroom lec— ture-discussion format, he is no wild- eyed enemy of books and the academy, as such. Indeed, due emphasis is laid on course participants keeping up with the reading. This better enables the students to synthesize their ideas about crime and society, about the problems of men- tal health. And perhaps more im- portantly, people in the prison and the books where they simply do not hold ture. The goal of this analysis is better understanding of the "mentally ill" and those involved in criminal role careers. "The emphasis is on understand- ing these people as having assets, potential for creating a more creative, humane society——and not merely as people with problems. " Appleby feels patients and prisoners, staff and students can learn from one an— other. His is a colearning model, in- volving role play and reversal, some mild encounter and plenty of person- to-person discussion, not only of ideas but feelings and emotions as well. Appleby began his work at Augs- . burg with these groups during fall quarter, 1939, with two groups of stu- dents, each of which met one night a week for three hours apiece, one at Stillwater, the other at Shakopee. Now four groups are going, and Apple— by has been successful in establishing; and art course at Shakopee, taught by John Mosand, and a series of inde- pendent study projects involving pri- soners and professors from Augs— burg. Projects now in hand include studies in social problems, history, theology and art. Augsburg instruc- tors presently acting as advisors at Stillwater are Carl Chrislock, Wayne Paulson, Sherrod Miller and Cal Appleby. John Mitchell, F. Mark Davis and Douglas Ollila are work- ing at Shakopee.

Show moreApplfiy hopes in the future to see a full first year program made available to prisoners at Stillwater, and conducted through Augsburg, bopefullybynextfall. Thegoal is for a series of courses to be taught by prisoners, patients, students and staff together with the professors from Augsburg—run on lines of the colearning model. Other plans of Appleby's call for some sort of living-learning exper- ience on the order of the 1969 spring quarter Crisis Colony, to be conduc— ted in Appalachia, possibly this sum- mer. Also, Appleby has proposed a creative teaching course for spring quarter. This will involve faculty and students in an effort to humanize the learning experience, and ex- plore various learning designs. The education department is now consid— ering this idea. In this regard Appleby feels re— sponse from the school has been good. Faculty is enthusiastic, and Appleby has teaching commitments from about 10 or 12 teachers at Augsburg. Appleby plans to move toward similar teach- ing programs at all four institutions..- One of Appleby's roles, in addition to being "coordinator" and "colearner" is that of the public relations man. In October a benefit was held at Melby Hall, and admission was charged to help raise tuition for inmates partici- pating in the claSSes at Stillwater and Shakopee. Speakers included the State Commissioner of Corrections, former (and reformed) burglar, Red Rudensky, students and prisoners from the prison PAGE THREE classes. Again on the evening of February 18, a similar program will be held on expanded lines; speakers will address themselves to questions of criminal and psychiatric injustice, and panels will concern themselves with vital as— pects of the criminal role career and mental health. Admission will be charged to raise money for the pat- ients' and prisoners' tuition.

Show morePAGE FOUR by Jim Grossman One night last week I walked to Augsburg's home of greater values, Larsen's Finer Foods, to buy some animal crackers. As Iwalked through the front door Iwas confronted by one' of the more able—bodied guardians of the Augsburg community, Midwest Patrolman Officer W. Babcock. After a few moments of watching him nerv- ously pace the floor clutching his off— icial Midwest Patrolman's radio, I turned to the store attendant, Tiberius Anderson, and asked what Babcock was doing parading around Larsen's. It seems that last week Larsen's was robbed for the second time in as many months. Babcock and his radio arrived on the scene in typical Midwest Patrol fashion——a day late. Flinging the door open in his best hard—nosed— cop—like style, Babcock, in full Mid- west uniform, open fly and all, storm—- ‘ ed up to Tiberius and demanded to know what the trouble was. Tiberius explained that there had been a robb- ‘ ‘sry the night before. Babcock react— ed violently; slamming his fist on the counter he exclaimed in his biggest outdoor voice, )h damn, I missed another one I " Wanting to know mo re about Officer Babcock, I turned to the man himself. He was friendly and eager to answer my questions, although he seemed a little old to be an effective patrolman. However, it's necessary to have elderly men patroling the campus. The Dean of Women re— cently remarked that Augsburg girls would be embarrassed ":0 have men of dating age enter the houses and see them in various stages of un- dress. I hope that burglers and peeping toms are equally as selec— tive when it comes to the age of those operating on this campus; I hate to see Augsburg girls embar- rassed. Babcock squelched what fears I had of his job being too much for his age when he remarked, "I've never caught nobody doin' nothin'”. He later qualified that statement as he recalled the night of January seventh. After months of waiting, Babcock fin- ally got a call on his official radio: one of the girls houses had a bat in ‘zhe bedroom. He scurried off to the scene of the crime, and, as the bat tried to resist arrest by crawling be— neath the bed, Babcock showed no mer— cy as he 'Jeat the creature to death

Show moreSince the dead hat was the only cri- minal ever caught by Babcock, and its only crime had been trying to Spend the night in one of the annex houses without informing Jim Lancaster, I wondered what the fate of a burgler, nabbed by Babcock, would be. So I asked how he would go about appre- hending a human and what he would do with the person once caught. After much deliberation, Babcock retorted, "Ah, (long pause) I really don't know what I'd do. " If he ever does catch anyone, I hope for the burgler's sake Babcock isn't carrying his broom. Like most Midwest Patrolmen, Babcock isn't always so tough and business—like. He told me of an a— musing incident that really typifies .his keen sense of humor. Babcock was always fun-loving as a boy and he hadn't changed much by the time he entered the army. His sergeant made it clear that anyone caught 0- pening any rations would have to eat all that he opened. One day Babcock decided to play a joke on the sergeant and open a gallon of fruit cocktail. Imagine the roaring laughter as Bab- cock sat eating the barrel of fruit. Anyway, that's how he got the repu- tation of being a "fruity" patrolman. Despite the efforts of Babcock and men like him, the robberies go on. And it was not until I left Larsen's that I realized how they might be stopped. As I walked out I noticed two large decals reading "This estab— lishment guarded by Midwest Patrol" stuck to the door. Perhaps if they were only taken down. . . PAGE FIVE WHAT’S RIGHT WITH HUMAN RlEHTS : by Gloria Wright Mr. Bill Smith, the instructor of the "Power Developement in the Inner City" course being offered here this quarter, is the new chairman of the Minneapolis Human Rights Commis— sion. He will be acting as chairman for a year under the proposed program of the Human Rights Commission set— ting the tone for racial justice. Mr. Smith feels that one of the biggest problems facing the commis— sion will be complaints against the police department. Mr. Smith hopes to work for a climate leading to hon— est and open talk which will in turn lead to productive communication. Other problems facing the commis— sion will be job and housing discrim— ination. Smith feels that it is very unfor- tunate that Mr. Bill Youngdahl wasn't reappointed but feels that Youngdahl will and should continue his activities in community affairs.

Show moreI was to be at the Governor's res- idence at eight o'clock for an interview with Dyan Le Vander m discuss the fate of her forgotten father. I arrived at :1 quarter after eight because Dyan is nev— er on time. I reviewed photo albums of the Jackson Hole Governor‘s Con— ference, the Missouri Governor's Con-- ference, and Jean and Tom's wedding pictures before Dyan appeared at eight—thirty. I expected her to be in tears after her father's announcement. Instead s'ie bounced into the solarium, folded her legs on the fly and said, "Okay ques— tions!" before she hit the chair. I thought for a long time then asked. "Do you have music piped "to every room?" "No, it's a stereo," she said. "Is the stereo upstairs?" I asked. "Yep," she replied. I‘d never tried to talk serious pol- itics with Dyan in all the years I'd known her, but the ice finally broke and she told me everything that had been in the papers the day before plus I got a dittoed copy of the speech. I asked her if her Dad would teach pol— itical science at Augsburg. She said no. I asked her if the Governor's lack of support which showed up in the re— cent polls had affected her Dad's de- cision. She told me the reasons were outlined in the speech. I was going to tell her that if Moses had stood on the THOMAS V HART bank of the Red Sea w1th thirty percen; of his people, God would have made him walk around. As Iwas leaving, the Governor came out of his study to shake my hand and say good—bye. He asked me what our paper was like. I told him we print— ed it ourselves with an offset press on 8%)(14 inch paper and have enough pages to wrap one days garbage for ‘ :1 family of two. The Governor was anxious to tell *ne about the state of the State with special emphasis on drugs and drug ibuse in Albert Lea. He told me that something had to be done with the kids ‘oday. They'll try to get high on any— thing. They even shoot peanut butter in- 30 their systems. I wondered if peanut butter stuck to the roof of your veins, out I didn't say anything. Finally he asked me how things we re .n South St. Paul. He doesn't get dowx. ‘nhere very often anymore.

Show moreby Becky Nystuen How many times have you wished that you were a mouse in the corner‘,’ The Augsburg Little Theatre will pre- sent a children's play on such a mouse, "Norman the Doorman, " directed by Miss Ailene Cole. It will be presented to the public on the following dates: February 5 at 4:00 and 6:30; Saturday, February 7 at 1:00; February 11 at 6:30; and February 14 at 8:00. Norman, the mouse, is played by Bob Tjaden. He lives in the basement of an art museum and enjoys all the modern conveniences along with the JS- ual problems. Stephen Larson, the museum guard, is constantly trying to catch poor Norman. The usual problems complicate Norman's male life—girlfriend troubles. His girlfriend is played by Sandy Ha~ ger and her rival is played by Jenn- ifer Mueller. Norman enters into the cultural aspect of life too. He enters his owr. mousetrap sculpture in the art con— test upstairs. His home is full of "art objects" that he proudly shows to his friends. The script of the play is being improvised by the cast. Original music is by Rich Hoffman with lyrics by Nadine Emerson . Choreography is by Cheryl Lindroos. Miss Cola calls "Norman the Doorman" a children's play for child- ren and adults. She says , "College MOUSE mun m min E SE‘IP‘K In kids get a big bang out of it. " Admission is 40¢ for children and $1 for adults. Augsburg students can get in with their student I. D. 'S.

Show more\fann _» PAGE EIGHT MOREON W by Linda Hansen During the Vietnam Moratorium in November, Terry Peterson and Nancy English conducted a survey on the o— pinions of faculty and students on four topics concerning Vietnam: policy, the draft, demonstrations and moratoriunis. There were 349 students and 27 faculty participating. The results of the sur- vey were as follows: Concerning the policy on Vietnam, the majority felt that there should be a withdrawal. An interesting highlight an this subject is that 52% of the fac— ulty were for immediate withdrawal, but only 34% of the students voted like- wise. The draft system (before the present lottery system) was disapproved of by most of the faculty and students. Again the faculty was more radical on the subject than were the students. Thirty- seven per cent of the faculty were for a modification of the present system, as opposed to 14% of the students. Twenty-six per cent of the faculty were for the lottery system, whereas only 20% of the students favored such a system. It is interesting to note that the majority was for a volunteer sys— tem. However the question was not asked as to how many would volunteer. Eighty—two per cent of the faculty favored demonstrations such as the moratorium in comparison to 65% of the students. The general feeling on this subject was that it would influ- MORAWRIUM ence the a ministration. The feeling of those opposed to thermoratorium was that it encouraged tne‘enemy. The last topic of the survey was that of a general stand on the war. Seventy—five per cent were against the war. In conclusion, the survey seems to prove that the moratorium was successful as a means of demonstrat- against the war.
