My decision to not reappoint him STENSIIOEL Runs by Granton Larson Dr. Myles Stenshoel, associate professor, department chairman of political science, and director of sum-- mer school here at Augsburg, is seek—- ing a seat on the Minnetonka City Coun— cil in a special election on February 17. On January 20, Stenshoel was one of the four candidates to survive the primary election, polling the second highest number of votes. Two coun— cilmen will be elected in the run~off election. The special election was called to comply with the recently approved charter which enlarged the council and turned the former village of Min— netonka into an official city. A coun- oil—manager type of governement was adopted. Dr. Stenshoel feels that Minnetonka is entering a very criti- cal period in its developement.

Stenshoel also has expressed his op— . inion that Minnetonka must cooperate with other suburban and inner—city communities to meet common prob— lems. Dr. Stenshoel’s career has com— bined politics and theology. Before coming to Augsburg, he was a parish pastor for some years and then taught at Augustana College in South Dakota. in 1988, he ran for the Minnesota House with DFL endorsement in a heavily Republican district, losing after a close race. Stenshoel doesn't feel that the add— ed responsibilities that would result from winning the up—coming election would interfere with his duties at Aug— sburg. In fact, he thinks the two roles would be complementary and that the experiences he would be gaining could be beneficial. ._ ,. H J. it t I

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

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

The number one etiquette rule was impressed upon us early: one must never, under any circumstances, sit at the same table with one's date. As we entered the dining hall, we were each pounced on by a hostess and hustled off to different corners of the room where we could sit and wave our buns at each other throughout the en— tire five course meal. Miss Martinson began the ordeal by easing everyone's uneasiness. When announced that she really didn't expect much from us as even a former Urness Tower Head Resident didn't learn how to hold a knife until after she graduated from college. Every— one breathed a sigh of relief and began eating; each one going about it in his own unmannered style.

It seems not all Augsburg students know that when one eats soup one is to tilt the bowl in a southeasterly direction. Much to the dismay of Miss Martinson and her associates, this resulted in soup bowls being tilted in every conceiv— able direction. Utter chaos. The rest of the meal went okay if you overlook everything being cold. And that really couldn't be helped as it took a while to decide which of the many forks I was going to use for my pork chop, and which I would attack the potato with. To further educate us, the most illustrious members of the Augsburg staff were on hand to give out a few of their highly coveted secrets to better eating habits. Mark Johnson, the suave, debonair Augsburg admission's czar, demonstrated, as only he can, the fine art of shoving corn around his plate and onto his fork with his roll.

No. In Urness Tower. Lately many yelps of pain and groans of discomfort have been heard emanating from the confines of the Tower. The water cooler, of which there are two on each floor, is the sole lifesaver of some 300 girls re- siding there. I happen to be an occu- ‘ pant of that infamous building, and I hereby wish to make known publicly the trials which we face every hour. l As the ﬂoors are completely car— l peted, everything we touch is a poten-~ tial shock producer. Now I ask you, I put this question before you, - How safe is it to have so many volts a day passing through each young woman's body? Might this not cause some 1 lasting damage which as yet cannot be determined because of the limits of our scientific knowledge? To further my point on another aSpect of this same problem, ask any girl in the dorm if she has a nasal complication, and 5 out of 10 will answer yes, and go on in detail about the lack of hum- idity in their rooms. I know a girl who is attempting to beat this problem by filling a jug with water, hoping it will evaporate. My roomate and I prefer to use the greater serface area method. In other words. water dis- tributed among a dozen cups, and ‘Since rel ‘dard is sponsoring a writing competi- Page Three placed on the heater. In this manner. water tends to evaporate at a much greater rate. However, one problem this presents is that one cannot look out the window without upsetting the cups. This is, though a relatively minor inconvenience because the rug is so dry, the water dries on it im— mediately. Many times I have con— sidered watering the carpet. Every morning I start the day out with a terribly dried up nose. I'm surprised it hasn't shriveled yet. And I'm beginning to wonder whether I should wash my face. If I do, it looks like I'm catching dandruff in the wrong place. This malady is by no means peculiar to myself. All girls in this desert suffer it. What is most strange to me is why the more radical of the students haven't risen up in revolt long before. But please, now is the time, before all that is left of the girls in Urness Tower is a pile of flakes. Mar aret BerEh WIN MONHll!

Show morePage 8 WE/NIIIE may: Sew/w PM? or SEASON by Jim Grossman When it comes time to celebrate wedding anniversaries, husbands seem to fall into one of two cata- gories, There‘s the highly roman— tic, candlelight dinner, soft music and wine type, and then there's the more predomenant "Sorry, I forgot. Here's a box of candy anyway” group. This isn't the case with Eugene O'Neill. O'Neill is the author of the play currently being put on by the Cedar Avenue‘s Theatre in the Round. And what's more he‘s a true individual. On his twelvth wedding anniversary O'Neill saw fit to break a norm and dedicate his play, Long Days Journey Into Night to his wife--the perfect gift.— A play is inexpensive—-he wrote it himself--as well as prac— tical. Being nearly four hours long it should keep most wives busy reading for hours. I was curious to see what kind of a play a husband writes for an anniversary gift. Now I know. He writes about a normal day in the life of a typical New England family. This may seem to be a rather non-inspiring topic, but each family has its own interest- ing little quirks and the play's subject, the Tyrbnes, is no dif- ferent. It seems that one son is dying of consumption while the other is Out squandering the family's mon- ey on whiskey, women and horses, not necessarily in that order. Pappa Tyrone spends the day, and the play, complaining about the electric bill. Despite the obvious charisma of the rest of the family, sweet old Mother Tyrone steals the show. She's continuously finding eXCuses to sneak into the spare bedroom where she can be alone with her "medicine". She's a morphine addict and her performance real- ley gives the play a shot in the arm. Anyway, the paly is dramatically a success. Although most of the audience missed the intended message, I did manage to pick up what the play was trying to say. Eugene O'Neill wasn't trying to dramatize the communication breakdown be- tween people, or how fate and life can wear down an individual or family. He was only trying to tell his wife, in his own subtle way, that he's had twelve lousy years of marriage. And, judging frOm his anniversary gift, he '5 going to have many more.

Show more'SNo TREK'THEME or mo 9w DAYS Augsburg‘s annual Snow Days week begins tomorrow with nom— inations for this year's royalty. A primary election will be held Monday with the final election and Coronation on Friday, the 23. This year's Snow Days chairman, Linda Filipa, and her committees have planned a range of events that should touch at least one interest of most Auggies. Noticably absent from this year's agenda, however, is the beard-growing contest which would have provided some incen- tive for this reporter to stop shav- ing. Friday, January 73 in the Com- mons is the Coronation of Royalty followed by a faculty skit and re- ception. These events take place at 7:30 and cost 50 cents per per- son. Following this, from 8:30 to 11:30 in the commons there will be a semi-formal dance with music by "Infinities' End". The cost is $2. 50 per couple. The next day, Saturday the 24 a pancake brunch will be held in the Commons from 10:30 to 12:30. At this time a pancake eating con- test will take place. Saturday evening at 6:45 busses will leave Augsburg for the Augs— burg-Hamline basketball game at Hemline. Rides will cost 50 cents per person. Then there will be a post-game party in the Knotty Niche with entertainment and Mreshments. , Saturday afternoon co-educa? tional football games in Murphy »k¥i‘_ ¥ 7‘77— — if Square and judging of snow sculp- tures add to the festivities.

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

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.

The Lost and Found, which EOITORIHL‘. mums masons GOD- DROPS OLERI C Hallelujah! It's a great day for tool and die makers and PTA mothers, provided they live in Minneapolis, land of opportunity. The mayor saw it necessary last week to relieve Bill Youngdahl of his chairmanship and chair on the city's Human Relations Com— mission. Understandably Mr. Voungdahl must be removed. He '5 one of the few of the twenty- one commissioners that knew what was going on or had any prac- tical experienoe in the field. Apparently over the holidays the mayor used his head to crack too many chestnuts while roast- ing on the open fire or to knock on neighbor's house doors to bon- row cooking sherry to pickle his bird With the liberal Youngdahl sent home, perhaps Tony Felicetta will become chairman and take no "bullshit" from anyone. 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. To me a conservative Hu- man Relations Commission seems as dangerous as an explosives ex- pert with a nervous disorder.

At this point in conference play, the Auggies stand 3-1. The Macalaster game was close throughput with the Auggies main- taining the lead in the first half and most of the second. Freshman Gary Ellefson started off like wild— fire, throwing in points from wher- ever he could hit the basket. The six foot guard lead both teams in the scoring department with 24 points. At half-time, Augsburg stood in the lead, 32—26. The second half was much like the first as the Auggies were ham— pered by a two—one —two defense, and Macalaster was cold shooting from the floor. With about five minutes left on the clock, Mac— alaster got hot. They managed to pull out and sit on the ball, leav- ing no alternative for Augsburg but to foul. Augsburg recorded 12 nerSUnal fouls in the second half. Ironically, Macalaster had a good free-throw percentage (17 for 27) so this alone was enough to keep them in the lead. Macalaster had four players in double figures, with Doug Malena having 33 points for them-Augsburg'sof this week will find the Auggies center Mike Haag had 12 points for the Auggies. On Friday, it was a different story as Augsburg pulled ahead of Gustavus in the final minutes . to obtain another conference win. i cus groups to identify and tackle Hall will pilot in 20l2-20l3 gen- _ der neutral apartments throu ncem such as these Dick t(elly was hot from his guard position and was a major factor in the victory with 30 points. This game was another close one, and Augsburg trailed at the half by one point. . The second half proved to be ex citing as Augsburg pulled ahead wit ‘ two minutes to go. Kelly was hot and Gary Ellefson obtained four of his seven points in the final min- utes. Augsburg lead by three when the final horn blew. The next two games are on the road with Concordia and St. Thoma. ‘ Augsburg returns to Si Melby on Ja uary 19, with St. Mary's College as the guests. WORSE?
