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. I told him ,t fell in the river and washed down stream and now it is a part of WISCODiin. fie didn't say anything. §hle‘ ByglggguflsgtLmeW‘gggggfi :hat brought you Dick Gregory, presents Showtime Parts I & II.

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.

The Auggies won the four matches held as Pat Mar 3y, Scott Brown, and Jeff Erickson regis- tered pins. Steve Dahlman notched a six — zero decision.

Show morern THE CULTU RE C0 R0 NER by Bruce Anderson Last Friday was the opening of the Center Opera Company's performance of Punch and Judy. It was the American premiere of the Harrison Bertwhistle and Stephen Pruslin bleak adaptation of the classic English story. There are several reasons for a person to go to the opera. As a social obligation (Noblesse Oblige) I attended. I mean really, only the better people go to operas. And then they go in order to be seen by others who also go to operas. In fact, being seen at the opera is usually considered to be more advantageous for one's social status than being seen at Bernie's or Camelot. Oftentimes one will not only be seen, but one will also hear and see an excellent performance. However, this was not the case last Friday. The Noveau Riche was not in full force. In fact, I believe the majority of the meager audience was made up of Guthrie and Center Opera Company personnel only. As for the play, the author cleverly decided on only one act because there probably would not have been an audi- ence for another. The opera was in— coherent and even with the resume in the program and the tritely humorous signs that the mimes pranced around the stage with, I had great difficulty following the action. V x ,fit,_.,rn_i.,. ,7 W DAG??? FIFVFN PMHMQQY: KITSCH Further, the theme was morbid. Unless one takes some of the vague and oblique symbolism and exaggerates its meaning, one is unable to justify the conclusion. Punch murders his baby, his wife, the doctor, the lawyer, his friend, and the hangman. He then gets his "perfect female, " Pretty Poll, who did not have anything to do with him until he finishes .his blood bath. In order to justify Punch's actions and rewards, one decides that Punch was a sick child who had to kill when someone was against him. The final murder, that of the hang- man, can be construed to be Punch's self—exorcism of the devil within him. This would have made Punch pure, and thus, the "perfect female” and the "pure male" could live happily ever after. This is at finest a contrived play. The actors made a valiant effort to save the play. Vern Sutton was excel— lent in his portrayal of Punch. The in- ordinate fascination with instruments of death was clearly revealed in the actions of the "hero. ” Sarita Roche, Pretty Poll, had the only lyrics of any note. The others were adequate. The orchestra was usually drowning out the speeches of the players, and it should be dismissed as too much for what it is. Punch and Judy is also showing on Feb; '7, 12 81 17. If you are a maso— chist, you will enjoy it.

The resolution, in- troduced by Jerry Johnson, was pass- ed ten to three with George Dahlman, Craig Olson , and Mark Francis in op- position. During a one—and—a-half hour open debate, a number of proposals were introduced by George Dahlman, called for no yearbook for the current year. This motion was recalled after Jerry Johnson asked that all proposals should be openly discussed and not be "railroaded through". Then LaRhae Grindal proposed that an Augsburgian be published in the fall of 1971 as a double edition including both this year and next. There were other ideas also. These included one that the student society ask the admissions office to help in paying the cost of the Augsburgian since they use the yearbook to a large ex— tent in recruiting applicants, Having subscriptions for the yearbook was brought up as well.

Show morePage Fourteen ross the largest holes and over sever- al crevices, traversed the little Sher- man. It appeared the wily driver might ‘ carry off top honors when he too made his only mistake. Veering to the right slightly in order to avoid the fatal and imdamaged flag poles, the Sherman ran aground against one of the main roots of the second tree and broke its left tread. In anger the crew swung their turret about to face their con- queror, and fired a volley into the base of the trunk at close range. The tree went up in smoke only to leave a» huge crater in the ground from whencc another tree of the exact dimensions as its predecessor shot up to stand om- inously over the Sherman while an un— mown source rendered "Norwegian Wood" complete with a Bob Stacke drum arrangement. (This bit of incredible surrealism is inserted solely for the pleasure of Mr. Ron Palosaari.) Undaunted by the supernatural, :he General smiled sadistically and waved on the final contestant. I asked at this point why the Sherman couldn't be towed. "No, my young snobbish intellectual, the Augsburg entry is driven by commuters who have the route memorized. This new obstacle will only even the advantage they have over the others. " The Think—tank appeared doomed from the start. This observation is due to the fact that it would not start at all. It seems the fall budget cut removed allocations for sparkplugs and without a spark of initiative it could not run. The Student Council had to be called from their beds in order to trim enough money for one if I l ' Plug. When it was found, howeygr, that the College would not cosign a . loan, it became necessary to requi— sition one from the parked car of the 1:“ Midwest Patrolman. With this the r~ . engine was started. The streamlined i174 appearance of the vehicle gave us ’ some hint of its blinding speed. It Te“ ground forward, fell into the first hole, died, and was not siarted a— i ‘ gain for lack of interest. ; The death of the Think—tank would not have been momentous had the defunct machine not been attad< - ed at that moment by six dark and hooded figures. The General did not appear moved, and acted like he rather expected the intrusion. Sens- ing my unrest he explained, "These ‘ people are all members of SWAP, ' . Students Wildly Adverse to Progress. They are stripping the Think-tank of its one inch gun. The cannon will be mounted on the roof of West Hall and sighted into the window of the business office. Should any attempt be made by the administration to re- pair so vital an obstacle course, the cannon will be detonated. " "Well, I might venture to say the g, governement could not have picked a more treacherous endurance run, " I admiringly commented to the General. » "But I suppose this puts the govern- ment in a rather embarrassing pos- ition, especially if they can't find cle- cent weapons for this spring. " But the General remained unper-r 11 turbed. "No, you Nee-fascist, pinko revolutionary, this is only the begin- l ' ~- ’:t'l“mlb UV’IMWWV“W‘ "' ’T'

The First Annual General Bull Wright U-boat and Submarine Race is already scheduled for early April during the Spring thaw at this exact same location, providing of course that certain subversive elements don't break our defenses and attempt making our proving grounds into a parking lot. " Footnote 1: The General submitted to my argument and called the Gulf station for a tow-truck. Gulf immediately diSpatched a Fiat and two frozen hoag-y sandwiches. The Sherman remained. Footnote 2: All three tanks were tag-- ged for failure to have an Augsburg parking sticker. This triggered a Federal investigation into wasteful military spending which concluded that the military is indeed a waste. Footnote 3: Since a German victory in this competition might prove diffi— cult to explain, all U-boat entries must be equipped with Norwegian up— holstery.

The possibilities are limit- less. Maybe the commissmn will appoint a committee to study the possibilities of the commis— sion and then a sub-committee of the commission's committee to study the possibilities of the commissioners becoming chair- man of the commission. Maybe they'll just do nothing for a while. Now that they're conservative they needn't be in any hurry to get things done.

Show morePROF mes commemrs, DONATES‘LOO To the Editor: Congratulations ona most in- formative issue. Enclosed is $1. 00 for the Echo budget along with the hope that it will not be used for a trip to Chicago or other points of interest. I would also like to make some comments on the issue . Although I appreciate the range of interpretations given in the issue, it is unfortunate that you did not follow the general practice of using the names of letter writ- ers. Even though the letters were solicited, you were wrong to print the ones without signatures. No one should be free to insult others anonymously through the pages of a newspaper, student or otherwise. A Summary of unsigned letters would have been sufficient. I felt pity for the writer who offered to be the new Program Commission head. If making money were as easy as she be- lieves. every college with a field house would be in the black. Any- way, I wish her a successful car- eer as a big-time promoter and hope that she does not waste such insight in a lesser field. Funny so many promoters have trouble when she points out it is so simple. I was surprised to read the o- pinions of those who did not think Pat Paulson was a big name enter- tainer. He has certainly fooled a great many people who have con- tributed to his successful appear— ances on TV shows. campuses, and nightclubs. Besides. we can't always get Spirow Agnew. There is probably little reason to submit Tod Hanson to a special questioning unless it is done to guard against future mistakes of this magnitude. The desire for money—-even for a good purpose-— often leads men and groups astray and that does not seem to have happ- ened here. I think one big—name entertainer during the winter or early spring as a kind of campus treat an attractive idea, but appar- ently that is about all we need since we do have ample access to enter- tainment. Students and. of course, faculty should get a discount with others paying a higher than fair price. One item you did not menticn in your otherwise thorough cover— age was the role of Harry Beacom or the booking agent in the situa- tion. I Wondered if they might have not helped us into this mess since they probably profited even while we lost. You weaken a valuable edition of the Echo by your closing Confes- sions and your insulting remarks about yOur readers. Please do take personal stands on issues you feel deeply about, but do so without cries of being "miSunderstood" or remarks about being too deep for your read- ers. The past problems may well stem from obscure and ineffective writing rather than readers' mis- takes. Your final confessions seem to be attention getting devices, attempts to make your- self look better and student govern- ment worse. They could have been better reserved for a revival meet— ing rather than a College paper. The paper will be better if yau take your stands boldly but without talking about yourself as editor.

Show morePage 4 wslraxeonr Sst 7M5 Amur TIMT To the Editor: The editorial by Steve Frantz in your fir st Whisper about sum- marizes whatm1ieve to be the present feeling of the silent majority at Augsburg. Further- more, I believe this is essentially our problem. This ‘head-in-the- sand' attitude served the purpose of disrupting our campus last year, and apparently will continue to do the same now and in the future. The reason: Any meeting of a body of people for the purpose of ques— tioning, learning, and proposing remedial action is labeled by those who defend the status quo as per- secution, scape-goating, or witch— hunting. Can it be possible that the student body could continue to destroy itself through this wretched display of paranoia? When money disappears, or some other unforseen irregularity oc— curs, those directly involved have been called to question. May I ask why this is to be branded as persecution? If this is the case,. then student meetings and ques— tioning sessions, whose purpose is to search out the truth of financial losses and other disas- ters, should be disc0ntinued on the grounds that questioning is per sec?- tionMust we accept the attitude that none should question the reSponsibility, or lack of same, of such elected and appointed officials who find fault not in them- selves but in their constituents and our constitution? Archaic and inadequate as it is, I have never known a cbcument of any kind to rise up and lose $14, 000. People have to do that, and when one finds people involved in such situations, one naturally attempts to seek out those directly respon- sible. Mr. Frantz would have us assume that this is persecution or perhaps character assassina- tion. Therefore, in order to avoid such a charge, it will be neces- sary to remain silent, and leave individuals, who may or may not be negligent in control of Our depleted economy. Now more directly to the point. Many will recall some problems encountered during the Brothers Four concert last year. At that time it was deemed necessary by the Program Commission to can- cel the concert for lack of sales. The decision was made in the absence of Tod Hanson, who was unable to serve due to illness. As' I learned from Tod, then Program Commissioner, the vote to cancel was cast by Ron Martinson, Rich King, and George Dahlman. I do not question the wisdom of this decision. In fact, these and any others involved in rescheduling the concert are to be commended for their foresight. Granted,a loss was sustained when the Brothers Four finally appeared, for which Tod was discredited, but the situation could have been worse, and for all pract- ical purposes, should be labeled as a business risk. This year the ticket situation was almost comical for both con- certs. Why then did George, who had sole prerogative for cancell- ing one or both concerts and sh0uld have been aware of poor sakes, not take steps to cancel before we were faced with financial ruin? I'm not dreaming. I am certainly aware that a substantial loss w0uld have

Dr. Holman as new administrator will use his thrust to add programs for student developement Outside the classroom. He will work with his staff in counseling, health ser- vices, admissions and housing. Also in a new position is Harold Johnson of admissions.
