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

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

Show morePage Nine 3TENSI-IOEL VICTIM OF MUDSLINGING by Grant Larson In the February 20th runoff election to fill two new seats on the Minnetonka City Council created by the adoption of a new city charter, Dr. Myles Sten- shoel, chairman of Augsburg'a De— partment of Political Science, was decisively defeated. The two new councilmen elected are: Al Michals, an attorney, and Fred Han— us. Mr John Borden, an assistant trea- surer and secretary at General Mills, who ran first in the primary election, came in third. Stenshoel polled some hundred votes less than Borden. Voter turnout was relatively light. When asked what his reaction to the election results was, Stenshoel said, "Not being elected will mean less pres- sure on me, but I feel sorry for the C ity of Minnetonka and the council. The results will tend to polarize the council and make it harder to find a city manager willing to operate in a difficult political situation. " Dr. tenshoel feels strongly that he and Borden were victimized by a malicious whispering campaign and a last-minute political advertising effort which, according to Stenshoel, "made use of out-and-out falsehoods and the rawest kind of guilt by associations. " Stenshoel believes that as a result, many people""voted their fears" with little regard for what the candidates actually stood for. This extensive and expen— sive advertising campaign was launch— ed so close to the election date that there was no time for rebuttal. Sten- shoel indicated that the substantial financial support the opposition need- ed for this venture was provided by the building concerns presently located outside the community. Although he feels the campaign tactics used against him were unethical and illegal, Stenshoel says he has no intention of initiating a libel suit. How- ever, he and Borden have asked the county attorney to investigate whether or not fair campaign practices were violated. Even though Dr. Stenshoel sincerely feels he could gave made a meaning- fur contribution to Minnetonka City government, he isn't about to let de- feat stiflehis sense of humor. Look- ing back on the election, he leans back in his chair, puffs his pipe and cracks, "I tell my neighbors and friends in Minnetonka that I take a Christ-like attitude towards defeat,' Weep not for me, but for yourselves and your child— ren.

Show morer“ ”'I ’ Page Sixteen MATMEN mu? MIAC CROWN by Terry Blue Augsburg's wrestling team collected four individual titles while fashioning it's third consecutive MIAC crown at the Macalester fieldhouse on February 21. The Auggies defeated St. Johns in the team race by an S7 to 76 margin thus aven- ging an earlier dual meet season 18-18tie. Team captain Mike Good was the only repeat champion for the Augs. He notched his third straight championship with a 7-0 decision over Carl Nord of Gustavus in the 134 1b. final. Soplimore Ron Johnson who was a runnerup in last year's meet gained the 142 lb. title with a 12-5 victory over Gust avus wrestler Mike Crofton. In the 150 lb. dividion , sophmore Pat Marcy "earned a name for himself”- to quote an anonymous source— by decisioning Gordon Molitor of St. Johns by a con- vincing 18—2 margin. Marcy wrestled so well in the tournament that he was named co-recipient (along with Condordia's Chuck Bishop) of the Carl Larson award as the outstanding wrestler in the tourney. Mark Mattison, a freshman from Lam- berton, Minnesota gained the Auggiesn fourth individual title by defeating Johns Dennis Leggatt 7-4. It was this victory that assured Augsburg of the team title. Freshman Scott Brown and junior Larry Stewart were runners-up for the Augs in the 118 1b. and 177 lb. weight classes reSpectively. Junior Bill Hickman and freshman Jeff Erickson each gained third place honors; Bill at 1261b. and Jeff at 1671b. Freshman Steve Dahlman rounded out Augsburg's place winners by gaining fourth in the 190 1b. At the beginning of the seasan coach Ron Pfeffer forecasted a "building" year for his team. In many respects this forecast held true. Team season would be a winning one and that it was I forecast held true. Team captain Mike Good said this season would be a winning and that it was. He also stated :hat this would not be the best year for the Auggieg but that there were better things to come in the near future. The record shows Augsburg did have its ups and downs. The Augs suffered disappointments at the All-Lutheran and NIAC tournaments but experienced satisfying triumphs at the St. Olaf— . Carlton and MIAC tourneys. In addi- tion Augsburg kept its dual meet un- beaten string alive. In summary, it was as satisfying I season in the face of greater than nor I mal adversity. The team overcame i numerous injuries, ineligibility of key personnal, and inexperience to fash— i ion a championship year. With no it seniors on this year's squad prospects for next season appear bright. 1 MIAC Tournament 10 Team Standings ' Augsburg-------——--_—- ._--_-----87 r St. John's ------------ -7 ______ -_ 76 Concordia ..................... -- 54 L St. Thomas ___________________ “31 ' Gustavus ...................... __ 30 U.

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

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.

" 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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. Although the play was billed as a children's play, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. \ R.D.Laing i" premiere performance of? t :gir tour concert will be presented by the.
