Strongly agree 2. Agree 3. Undecided 4. Disagree __5. Strongly disagree If you answered 1, 2, or 3 to this question, you have never been to a precinct caucus. At the precinct caucus, delegates are elected who will help choose a party's candidates. Every citizen has the right to be heard in choosing these delegates, and every resident of the precinct who will be eligible to vote in the next election can nominate and vote for delegates. Many caucuses have relatively small turnouts. so an individual voice can have significant influence on what happens. Caucuses all across the state will be held this Tuesday, Feb. 26, at 8:00 pm. Most Augsburg residents live in the 9th ward's 2nd precinct, which is bounded by Franklin Avenue, Cedar Avenue, 6th Street, and 27th Avenue. The DFL caucus for the 2nd precinct will be held in the East Commons of the College Center, and the IR caucus will be in the Sivertsen Lounge. A single vote in the November election, while very important, is the least amount of influence an individual can have on the final outcome. Why not devote one evening to participate actively in the democratic process that runs this country? You‘ll see how the issues of the day are dealt with on a local level, and you'll see how an individual can influence the political process. And who knows—it may even be a good time! Do you want delegates chosen who support the draft? Or oppose it?

The registration processwhen resumed would be under a new system—a computerized system. Consequently, people would- n't have the opportunity to register as conscientious objectors until after receiving an induction order. A person filing as a conscientious objector would be under a short and rigid time limit (15 days following the date the induction order was mailed). The fear is that this might not be enough time to properly document a claim as a con- scientious objector. For the person seeking advice and more information regarding con- scientious objection, Smith suggested contacting organizations such as Fellowship of Reconcilliation, Clergy and Laity Concerned, the American Friends Service Committee, and the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors. Smith said. "You have a better February 22, 1980 chance (of being classified CO) if you are a member of a ‘peace church‘ (such as Mennonite or Quaker)" He said the Lutheran Church is not a “peace church," because it takes the “just war" position. He further explained that there are three positions regarding war: the “no war,“ or pacifist position; the “just war" position (which holds that some wars are just and others aren‘t); and the “holy war" position. He described the “holy war" position as "going to war to bring in the kingdom of God,“ and added, “A lot of people thought of Vietnam this way, saying ‘We‘ve got to defeat the Communists, because Communists are godless." Forum moderator and Campus Pastor Lowell Brandt pointed out the difficulty in taking the “just war" position. He said that, to be a con- scientious objector, one must be opposed to all war. He asked what options are available to those who may not oppose all war, but would oppose participating in a war over the present conflict in Afghanistan and Iran.

Quota system Continued from page 2 Nichol! felt it would be better to have a five«year job than no job at all. "Someone has suggested the faculty rescind the statement of promotion quotas,“ said Professor Margaret Anderson. But, there is some question as to the origin of the quota system and what must be done to get rid of it. Several solutions for granting tenure and promotion were cited. Professor Duane Johnson suggested promotion by merit, and quotas for raises in pay. The consensus of the meeting was that raises should be given equally, across the board and promotions should be granted for their psychological value. Ralph Sulerud, Professor of Biology, supported a system where the college would have to “declare financial exigency before faculty cuts could be made." According to Sulerud, Augs- burg may be reluctant to declare exigency for public relations purposes and therefore would look for more creative ways to raise money or cut back on employment and costs in other areas. “We need to make it as difficult as possible to lay off faculty. We must get more people tenured," said Sulerud. Opposition to the destruction of the quota system may come from more than the administration. Some current— ly tenured professors are in favor of the quota system because un-tenured staff provides a sense of job security for them. The more tenured staff that exists, the greater the likelihood that lay-offs will be based on program needs. Grace Sulerud pointed out that such lay-offs would always be based on seniority so an increase in tenure grants would probably not be a severe threat to those already in tenured professorships. The national organization of AAUP has issued a statement that "financial exigency is a life-threat to the institution.“ Augsburg, like all institutions, is facing critical financial problems in the 19805; but according to Noonan, administration, faculty and students must be rid of the idea that “we are doomed to shrink“ and begin working toward innovative solutions to the problem. news briefs The Augsburg College Cross- Cultural Society will meet on Friday, Feb. 22 at 4:00 pm. in the Sivertsen Room.

By HOWARD SMITH Sports Writer The score was tied 75-75 with two minutes left in the game when Coach Rees Johnson called for his “four corner" offense. The offense is de- signed to kill time off the clock. and it did. At the 1:00 minute mark, guard Ronnie Henderson was fouled. With fans yelling and waving in the background, he calmly sank both free throws. Then, nine seconds later, Henderson stole the ball at half court and was fouled. Again, he went to the free throw line and again, with the fans in the background trying to upset him, he calmly sank both to give the Auggies a four point lead. Even though they were 21-1 this year, Henderson and the Auggies haven’t had too many one-sided games; most have been very close. Last Thursday night at the Macalester- filled house was no exception. The Scot's are a young team, but they couldn‘t be pushed around. Once they realized they could pull off an upset, they got even tougher for the Auggies to handle. But, back to the game: With 35 seconds left in the game, Tim Mattek, who played well the entire game, fouled'Scott Barriball, Barriball, Mac‘s floor leader (he had 19 points the first half and would finish with a game high of 27), stepped to the line and, just as calmly as Henderson had done earlier, sank them both. Mac then called a time—out to plot strategy. On the Auggie bench, Coach Johnson had some strategy of his own. "Go to the four corner again when we get the ball up court," Johnson ordered. “Remember, break to the ball. Don‘t wait for it to come to you. Kill the clock and don‘t foul." What the Auggies then did was enough to make any coach smile with glee.

Mac couldn't catch the ball to foul (and stop the clock). But with five seconds left and a two point Augsburg lead, Randy Jensen was fouled. Mac called another time—out. “Defense the ball, but what ever you do, don't foul. I repeat: Don't foul!“ said Johnson to his players.

Mental errorsby the Auggies kept the game close. “We couldn‘t put it away," was Coach Johnson's lament. “We'd get five points up on them and then they‘d come back." The low point of the contest was the loss of starting forward Brad Henke. Stretched ligaments was the diagnosis and at least a two week rest is in store for Henke. “Henke is our best outside shooter and his absence is going to hurt," said Johnson. Henke might be ready for the play-offs in early March. Last Saturday night’s game against St. Mary's was a different tune. however. Ronnie Henderson set the pace as Augsburg executed well. Instead of reacting, they acted and coasted to a 15-point margin of victory. With the second-place Johnnies (12-3) only two games back of league- leading Augsburg (14-1) there isn't much room for relaxing. It's easy for the opposition to get up for Augsburg. "(Teams) aren't afraid of us. They‘re figuring us out," said Johnson. The pressure is on Augsburg. Tomorrow they travel to Hamline for a game and then they're home Monday for a game against Concordia. Both games start at 7:30 pm. Women cagers advance to state By J. RICHARD KRUSE Throughout the season. the Augs- burg women’s basketball team has developed a reputation for being a second-half team. Last Saturday's district playoff vs. home court favorite Bethel was a perfect example. In the first half, defense was the rule, not the exception, with Augsburg using either a 2-3 or 1-3 zone defense much of the time. Our Auggies were unable to pull away however, and the Royals managed to tie the game at the half, 24-24. The Auggies came out in the second half with a confident and relazed style of play. A zone press took Bethel's game away, and the offense, with some new twists, worked their options well. With this combo, the Auggies maintained an 8-10 point lead throughout much of the second half. The Auggies ran away from the Royals in the waning moments to make the final 60-44. The game was a super team performance at both ends of the court. Leading the effort for the Auggies were Irene Blilie (18 points, seven steals), Julie Goldstein (12 points, 10 steals) and Deb Thompson (10 rebounds, six steals). Also, Linda Berg, playing with painful calcium deposits on her left thigh, turned in a courageous performance with six points and seven rebounds. Our Auggies now advance to the state tournament this weekend at St. Catherine‘s. While the team will be seeded last, if the Auggies play like they did last Saturday, they could well be the surprise of the tournament.

Show moreFormer Auggie builds on solid rock By GARY KU BAT Features Editor As part of Black History Month the Reverend Keith Williams, Augsburg graduate, spoke at a special convocation held Wednesday, Feb. 15, The Gospel of Luke, chapter six, verses 46 through 49, was the major thrust of Williams' sermon, “Build Your House on the Solid Rock." The reading told the parable of two men, one wise, the other foolish. The foolish man built his house on land. Because there was no foundation. the house was swept away by winds and rain that turned into floods. “The Fool," Williams said,“a- voided hard work. He wanted a shortcut, the easy way out. He just slapped his house together." Williams likened the Fool to many Christians. He stated that many people think they can know Christ by “spiritual osmosis," Williams told of those who go to many conferences or read many books, but don’t take the time to study the things they learn. “They are suffering spiritual constipa- tion," Williams said. “It takes time to grow as a Christian." Williams drew parrallels between the Fool, who wanted to evade tough discipline, and some students at Augsburg. As good Christians, Williams said that students should make an appointment with God, “but rarely do except when they haven‘t studied for an exam, except when they are in trouble or want something." Other responsibilities of being a good Christian were expounded by Williams. “There are folks here that claim to be Christian that have never led another soul to Christ," Williams stated, “It‘s your spiritual responsibil- ity." Williams contended that “many Christians fail because they don’t study the word of God." Interrupting his sermon, Williams said, “I don‘t know if you all here are with me. It's too quiet." Back home Williams said that he was used to his congregation shouting “Amen!” Williams continued, “Many of us here are searching for stability through social prestige, athletic prowess. financial security, or promis- cuous sexual relationships." Williams Former Auggie grad. the Reverend Keith Williams. speaks during gospel night. —ECHO Pnolo by Jim Haugen 6 spoke of his own revelation to the stability to Christ in terms of temperature. “I used to be ice-cold in the world, but now I'm hot for Jesus." Being Christian is a matter of “practicing what you preach or walkin’ that talk,“ Williams added. “The Wise man took time to meet with God, bring someone to Jesus, study the scriptures, and meet with other Christians. You don't see a foundation of a house and people don‘t see the hours it takes to study the scripture," Williams said. “It's not gonna be easy. It took Solomon 40 years to build his temple," Williams assured. “But when the storms of life come, nothing will shake your house if you've built your house on the solid rock, Jesus." Williams gave examples of storms that students face—exams and new theologies. Williams called for the audience to stand, lower their heads, close their eyes, and fold their hands in prayer. He asked for those who didn't know Christ or for those who have strayed from Christ to raise their hand. As he looked over the bleachers, Williams, along with the audience, prayed for those who had raised their hands. Closing with the Benediction, Williams prayed a blessing for the students and college of Augsburg. Williams, a 1978 graduate in physical education, served on the Religious Life Commission and as vice president of the Black Student Union while attending Augsburg. He was also captain of the football team and played basketball. Originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Williams is currently serving as interim pastor at New Hope Baptist Church in Paoli, Pennsylvania while continuing his studies at East Baptist Seminary in Pittsburg.

For the layman (usually anyone who is not a music major), the word “recital” brings back memories of sitting through or dreading performing in programs of piano students playing music that all sounded the same, and all stumbling through rough spots with awkward silence while the audience hoped and prayed the poor lad or lass would regain his or her composure to finish the piece. At Augsburg College, to the music students, “recital” takes on quite a different meaning. To be a music student (Music Performance, Music Education, Music, or Music Therapy), the requirements state that. along with the years of performance studies, a recital must be given. In this sense of the word, the recital is actually a concert of selected works that the student has studied and perfected in his or her lessons. The recital is the culmination of years and years of striving for and achieving new skills, interpretations, techniques, and methods on the instrument. Singers, pianists. violinists, percussionists, flutists. trumpeters, organists, clas- sical guitarists. clarinetists. cellists, oboeists. and anyone else that blows into, hits, bows, plucks. or plinks a musical instrument each perform a recital that shows just how good they‘ve become during their years of study and practice. The events are most often fantastic. In preparation for a recital, care is taken to select a variety of pieces that span the different periods of music history. This makes the programs interesting, and shows the versatility of the performer, Everything from the very traditional to the very contempor— ary can be heard in one sitting. The recitals are great events for acquaint- ing oneself with music that isn‘t usually encountered in the life of an average Auggie student, taking a study break and a “mental hike," seeing familiar faces pour themselves into sound. and hearing some outstanding performances. The dates and times for this semester's Student Recitals will appear in the Arts Agenda each week. This spring, take in some student recitals.

Show moreNortherner’s chill icemen’s hopes By HOWARD SMITH Sports Writer The Augsburg Hockey team found out last weekend that traveling on the road isn't always fun and exciting. Especially if your destinations aren't friendly ones. When the team traveled up to Moorhead and then to Bemidji, they were treated to some rude receptions by their hosts. The Cobbers of Concordia won the first game 7-5 and nearly stole the second, before losing 9-7. The Beavers of Bemidji State spotted the Auggies a 4-3 lead after two periods before blitzing them for three third period goals to make it a 6-4 final. Friday night‘s game drew an estimated 1,800 people and as one ticket taker said, “This is the most people we've ever had in here. This must be an important game.” Yes it was. And, among that crowd was a group of about 100 faithful Auggie fans, who had traveled up to watch the series. Although small in number, the crowd (along with Scott Anderson and his trumpet) matched the Cobber fans decibel for decibel. Kevin Gordan opened the scoring two minutes into the game by knocking in his own rebound. Then, after Concordia had cashed in three times, Brian DeCIercq got his first of two with a quick wrist shot that beat Cobber goalie Randy Penney. Concordia increased its lead to 4-2 at the start of the second period before Mike Erikson got his first of two with another quick wrist shot from in front. The Cobbers picked up the checking, not letting the Auggies break out of their own zone. They (Concordia) picked up a pair of rebound goals to close the period ahead 6-3. The Auggies had their work cut out for them. The third period opened with Concordia trying desperately to hold on to its lead and the Auggies swarming around them, looking to D I l Continued from page 7 Vietnam War to get the government to make this distinction, Smith responded but the government refused to do so. It seems “perfectly reasonable“ to him to oppose war “when the U.S. is halfway around the world in somebody else‘s country,“ but to support defending the U.S. against an invasion. Both Smith and Twiton criticized the United States' orientation toward war. Smith pointed out that the US. military budget is now $145 billion, $55 billion more than the $90 billion military budget at the height of the Vietnam War. “Registration is a step orienting people toward war," Twiton said. He reasoned that registration really isn't necessary, since, in our highly computerized age, the government already has its youth on a list. He said Social Security records or drivers‘ license records could be used to identify and locate youth to be drafted. The American public‘s interest in military issues was very low until Carter made his State of the Union address. Smith said. He added, “It's a very sad commentary that we don't care until it affects us directly." February 22, 1980 score. At 7:12, on the power play, DeCIercq converted a perfect goal mouth pass from Terry Brown to pull within two goals. Then. seven minutes later, Erikson scored his second goal on a breakaway to set up an exciting finish. The Auggies worked and hustled in the remaining six minutes but couldn't tie it up. With 50 seconds left, goalie Dick Bain was pulled in favor of a sixth attacker. Concordia scored an empty- net goal with 27 seconds, to seal a 7-5 victory. Everyone's thoughs turned from sweeping two games to preventing a sweep of two. Prevent they did, but not before some tense moments. After the Auggies had built a quick 5—1 lead in the second game of the series with two goals each from Gordan and Erikson and one from John Evans, the Cobbers started their comeback. They checked and skated their way to a six-all tie after two periods. Then, on a power play, Terry Brown (who played a superb series) came out from behind the net to stuff the lead goal under a surprized Cobber goalie at 1:23. Erikson (who had five goals in the two games) converted on a three-on-two breakaway to put the Auggies two goals up. But Concordia came back with one at 14:26 to close the margin to 8-7. But, like the night before, the losing team had to pull its goalie in favor of another attacker. And, also like the night before, they got scored on to make it a two-goal margin (DeCIercq scored his second of the game and fourth of the series). These two teams were so even that each one won a game by two goals (one empty net goal for each), each scored 14 goals, and each had 74 shots on goal for the two games combined. On Sunday, after traveling almost 400 miles in 48 hours and playing two tough games against the best in the“ league, the Auggies rolled into Bemidji a little tired and frustrated. But, instead of going through the motions that one could easily excuse, they came out fighting. They got three power play goals in the first period (Chuck McCan, Brown and Erikson again) and, at 3-3, they broke for intermission. Period two opened with the Auggies forechecking like they were three goals down instead of tied. They outshot Bemidji 17 to 9 and when the period ended, they were leading All Metal Body Building Weightsi Winger Al Sova rilles a slapshot at the lower right—hand corner of the net against the Cobber goalie.

Bemidji tied it at 1:28 into the third period and that was all they needed after that.

With the elections nearing for Student Society President and Vice- President a few insights are in order regarding what the jobs of the student body head executives are. Once in office, it’s apparent that the obligations are many times forgotten. At the risk of being trite, one can assume that the overriding responsibility of the executives is to be representative leaders of Augsburg students. Therein lies a multitude of considerations and obligations. Now. in order to effectively carry out the leadership responsibility. the building of a philosophical base is a necessity. An understanding of the history and mission of Augsburg is a start. Also important is an intimate awareness of the liberal arts education. the small, private, Christian college and the needs of today's students. A sound administration cannot be based on super- ficiality. Some people might laugh at Student Government. but between the laughs they might one day realize that the workings and responsibilities of the job are. in fact. a microcosm of what will confront them later in life. A corporate staff meeting or committee work in the Minnesota legislature are not unlike many elements that comprise a Student Senate meeting. This year‘s candidates should be asked a number of important questions. For example: Why do you want the office? Are you cognizant of the issues? (And there are issues. If you‘re not aware of them it‘s because they haven't been articulated this year.) Once issues have been defined and priorities ranked. goals can be set. Will you be able to motivate people and expedite the processes that will come into play? And. of course. there are the outcomes. Can you see an issue through to its resolution, whether the outcome is failure or success? Winning the election is only the beginning. and for some this seems to be adequate. but the responsibilities will never wane. Your work and the pride you have in serving the students will be reflected in up—front contacts with teachers. administrators and alumni. However. it doesn't stop there. Representatives and commissioners will also hold you accountable. One cannot hide a lack of responsibility or commitment. For starters: A look at the record of past administrations as well as the present one can work as a sound base on which to judge the effectiveness of Student Society President and Vice-President. repercussions Down on the farm By LEE JOHN LILLOUIST Ain't no use you denying it. We. as a world in general and individuals in particular. haven‘t got our acts together. To prove it ask someone about the future. Eveyone usually has two different views of the things to come. Most agree that more-than—Iikely this world is going to eventually end up as a radioactive sewer. uninhabitable. polluted and over-populated beyond its great tolerance to endure Most would also argue that someday they're going to be rich. The Corporate Conglomerates share their abundant riches with willing slaves. Happiness With a house in the suburbs and two chickens in every pot is available for all As for Spaceship Earth's future. I‘ll just light-up a joint while I drink to forget. As l stand in the farmyard I can hear the “wolves in the wilderness" howling for human blood. The wolves‘ decree is death to a civilization that does not respect the rich. fertile earth from whose womb we all were born. Presently. only one thing stands between us and those fangs of death that are our future. An American Farm Dog. Alone. he now stands barking at the unknown darkness. and in him lies our sole salvation. The American Farm Dog is an institution. Although most only measure yea by 4 yo. we as the flock he guards need not fear. For it is not the size of the dog in the fight that matters. but the size of fight in the dog. And American Farm Dogs have lots of fight. i recollect Leo. my Dad's old dog. Whenever some little subversive woodchuck would invade the farm with communist thoughts of uprooting and undermining American farm life. Leo would go dig up the perverse rodent. Chomp! And when Dusty. my dog. chances upon a masked raccoon on his daily patrols of mischief, he'll fear into him. Raccoons with the socialist dream that my chickens' eggs should be shared for the common good. beware! I can still hear Dusty's jaws crunching down on the skulls of your like-thinking brothers. Dusty‘s T‘otto: “The Farm. right or wrong. love it or leave it. defend it or lose it. God bless l . It makes me sick to hear of an American who lacks the gumption to defend this country. verbally or physically. If some air-headed Commie Official is bragging about French Nuclear Technology in Afghanistan. don't stand there with your finger in your nose. "That could be so.“ you could argue without mentioning that we didn‘t invade Chile with 90.000 troops. “but compared to the way of life that has produced the American Farm Dog. you Commies can go stick a manicured and finely—groomed French Poodle in your ear!" Now that‘s telling them! “But you can't defend that statement!.“ the Commie will retort, naming you a second-rate power. “The Hell lcan'tl.” you answer. sinking your teeth into his neck. For as long as an American Farm Dog can draw breath. he will fight in faithful defense of the ideals in which he has been entrusted and the way of life he has learned to ove. As sheep and cows grow fat on the riches of the land. and gluttonous capitalist pigs oink in contentment. the American Farm Dog stays lean and mean. His reward? He is free! No fences surround him. no iron curtains block out the Sun. He is strong! No city smog in his lungs. in the country he is healthy and happy. He is brave! Anything worth living for is worth dying for. anything worth loving is worth defending. But above all else he serves a higher cause. He alone shares his Master‘s. his God's. dreams. He prays that this land might someday flourish and grow in goodness. that future generations of puppies might benefit from today's sacrifices. and that the fangs in the darkness that is our future might never serve Evil's diabolical wishes. (Do I hear the Battle Hymn of the Republic playing softly in the background?) For on eating the apple the American Farm Dog left the Wilderness of Eden. and joined his Master at the fire. that someday he might dwell in his Master's farmhouse. He is honored above the no-mind sheep. and the fat pigs that in the fall would be shot. stuck. and slaughtered. He is honored as an animal that can dream dreams. and is willing to pay the price to fulfill them. What kind of happy. rich future can an American Farm Dog have without a farm? What kind of future can humans have without Mother Earth? For people to have had their cake and eat it too. has meant up until now that the kids get the crumbs. Affluence is now the American Way of Life. right? I mean before long we'll be declaring our “rights as Americans" to life. liberty, and the pursuit of money. Eventually even otherwise intelligent dogs will be spoofed into believing that Calvm Klein Designer Collars equate into happiness. Hey. what the hell. I can't change the world. Why bother even trying? But I can give you some advice on attaining happiness. Maybe one or two of you might. just possibly. by an ironic quirk of fate. decide to listen. Go buy a farm! Then go buy a dog! And then we might all just luck-out. and have this world really go to the dogs. It gets mightly lonely being the only dog barking from down on the farm. 141,1 7“ Ru-m PR PRESIDENT [fisn'v What a fraud!’ ’ To the Editor: I am temporarily out of note paper.

Show moreStatistics reveal overwhelming dissatisfaction with campus food Senate releases results of food service survey By CHRIS HALVORSON Assistant Editor Augsburg administrators were given a great deal of food for thought (and action) this week with the submission of a food service survey to the president‘s staff. The survey was taken by the Student Senate Food and Housing Subcommit- tee on Dec. 5, at the steak dinner in the Commons, when more students would be at the meal and have the opportunity to fill it out. The results and the senate’s recommendations for improvement of the food service were given to both the administration and Carl Strommer, food service director, for consideration. According to committee member Joan Maland, the senate’s intent in taking the survey was to explore the student's common complaints and frustrations with the food service in an objective manner. Maland said the president's staff looked at the report last week and did not think any of the recommendations to be outrageous. The administration may give formal approval or take some action on the recommendations after their meeting this week. “The main thing is that I hope they realize there is a problem. First of all, I hope to see a Student Menu Board go into effect right away. We want this board to work with the food service in matters of budgeting and menu planning. They are to be an integral part of the food service planning,” Maland said. Maland is guessing that Strommer will take these recommendations and agree to them, but she has doubts that he will ever actually do something about them without a student board. “Rod (Sill) and I did a lot of work on the survey and hopefully something will be done,” Maland said. “But, we don't intend to give up. This is the biggest complaint of any of the on-campus students and it's just ridiculous to keep on like this. if it falls through, we'll try something else and keep trying. It’s like a personal crusade with us!" “A college food program is a service for the student," said Sill. “When it does not meet their expectations it is no longera service to them. This is the direction Augsburg's food service has taken. It is frustrating students and creating dissatisfaction on campus. Our subcommittee defined the prob- lems through the food survey and the next step toward improving the quality and service rests with the administra- tion‘s decision." The results of the survey, along with the committees conclusions and a representative sample of some of the comments students made on the questions are printed below. Four hundred fifty-one students filled out the survey. but not all answered every question. The totals for each question vary, but where there is a difference between the yes and no categories of 20% or more. the subcommittee came up with recommendations based on their conclusions. The recommendations made by the senate to be considered by the administration and the food service February 22, 1980 director are: 1. A permanent student menu board to aid in menu planning. 2. Provide whatever means neces— sary to the Food Service Director for more effective management and communications skills. 3. The evening meal revamping: a. we need at least 2 entrees and probably three (fried chicken, quiche, salad bar). b. we recommend a closed cafeteria for the evening meal with separate stations for breads, desserts and salads. c. people should still have seconds on main entrees with ex- ception of steak, shrimp, carved beef round. 4. Standards of freshness and quality of fruit and vegetables should be upgraded. 5. Weekend menus should be more interesting and fresh food should be served. 6. More variety in the menu. 7. A salad bar at the lunch and evening meal. 8. Check steam tables and have all food served at the proper temperature. 9. Ice cream and fresh fruits should be a dessert alternative. 10. Special meals offered once every two weeks (e.g. International, Thurs- day Night Buffets, Make your own Sundae, etc.) 11. Food service Director should coordinate with student activities for special menu planning. 12. Weekly menu published in the Echo and/or Update. 13. A semi-annual food service survey administered by the Director. YES NO TOTAL 1 Is the Food Service Director available to you? 56% 2 Are your suggestions ac- cepted in a satisfactory manner? 37% 63% 317 3. Are complaints handled satisfactorily by the dining serviceslafl? 33% 67% 348 CONCLUSION: Suggestions offered by students are not satisfactorily accepted by the director nor the dining staff. Many food services carry out their own evaluations each year. A lack of evaluation and review says something about the willingness to look at suggestions and complaints of students. 4.

The evening meal is the least satisfying for students. Student comments: “I sure wished the administration would eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the students so they could get a vivid picture of how the college food service does not have the students at heart. The meals Carl serves them in the Augsburg Room has no reflection of his general performance.

Student comments: "I have not recommended Augsburg College to anybody—precisely because of the food. ” "Make the food service a service, not a money-making business.

The forum will be held at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 27, in the College Center. There have at times been hard feelings on this issue between Augsburg and the community, but organizers of the forum stress that this is not to bea confrontation of any kind. Rather, it is hoped that this forum will be a beginning of dialogue and cooperation between Augsburg and the community. a beginning of working together to develop reason- able. practical ways of dealing with this problem in the '80s The panel will be made of an Augsburg tenant, a representative of PAC (Cedar Riverside Project Area Committee), PreSIdent Oscar Ander- son. an Augsburg student. and possibly a faculty member.

I'm referring to the Vasaloppet cross-country ski race, an annual event which was cooked up by Glen Johnstone, a local tire dealer. After visiting Mora, Sweden (the sister city of Mora, Minnesota, my hometown) and watching the fifty-mile ski race which that town sponsored, Johnstone decided that a similar race should be held back in Minnesota. He contacted a few land owners, cleared a track through the woods north of town, and started to publicize the event. In February, 1973, the first Vasaloppet (Johnstone borrowed the name of the Swedish race) was held, Only in the last few years has the race started to draw a lot of attention. The town constructed a 34-foot-high Vasaloppet bell tower and Johnstone convinced a number of Scandinavian skiers to enter the race. The Vasaloppet kept getting bigger and better, and somehow l kept missing it. This year I decided to take a weekend off from college and see what everyone was talking about. So at nine o'clock on Sunday morning i found myself standing with two thousand other people in a field ninety miles north of Minneapolis. The temperature was close to zero, and a number of bonfires had been started to keep the crowd warm. A woman standing next to me pointed into the air; I looked up and saw the KSTP-TV helicopter (“Eye in the Sky,“ the woman informed me). February 22, 1980 Suddenly the dynamite which was being used as a starting signal exploded. Thirteen hundred skiers started down the trail. We spent to next couple of hours driving to “check points" where the trail crossed various backroads. One such point, near the races halfway mark, was at Butch Dalbey's farm. About forty of us watched while, one by one, the skiers appeared. As they went by, cups of blueberry soup (a concoction of hot water and sugar which could taste good only under such circumstances) were thrust into their hands. The first six skiers through Dalbey’s check point were, predictably, Scandinavian, By noon a huge crowd had gathered along Mora's main street. As the race's most dramatic moment approached, a group of friends briefed me on what would happen. They told me how the bell in the Vasaloppet tower would be rung when the first skier emerged out of the woods on the far side of Lake Mora. They told me how the skiers would end the race by coming down the packed Show which trucks had dumped on Union Street earlier in the week. They told me how the winner would have a wreath placed over his head moments after crossing the finish line. Although the Vasaloppet is only eight years old, there are already a few legends about it. One has to do with the race four years ago, when two Swedish brothers were neck and neck until they came to the final hundred yards. At that point one of the skiers turned to his brother and said to him in Swedish, “So long. mate." He then burst ahead and won by a comfortable margin. The race wasn‘t that close on Sunday. Per Knotten, a Norwegian who was last year's Vasaloppet winner, crossed the finish line at least a quarter of a mile ahead of the next skier. Knotten‘s time on the 58—kilometer run was just over two hours and forty-three minutes. Skiers came in for the next three hours, and then an awards ceremony was held in the high school gymnasium. The winners were given medals and trophies; everyone else received patches and certificates. Glen Johnstone? “In five days." he said, “the Vasaloppet committee will get together and start planning next year‘s race.“ STUDENTS . . . Need A Place To Stash Your Cash?

Seeing his name in the list of credits immediately adds an air of credibility to a film regardless of one's preconceptions. Along with a nomina- tion for an Oscar with his performance in And Justice For All, Pacino turns in another fine performance with his WOW!!! The fourth installment of Words‘- worth on Wednesday (WOW) will be held Mar. 12. from 2:30-3:30 pm. in the Alumni Lounge. John Mitchell of the English Department will introduce some of the characteristics of the con- temporary poem and the creative writing process that he emphasized during an interim course entitled Creative Writing Workshop: Poetry. Three students were selected from each of the five colleges to participate in the course. Augsburg students who took the course were Angela Carlson, Maureen Cooper. Mary Deering, and Cynthia Johnson. Participants in the course will read selected poems. Although there will be an introduction, the main content of the occasion will be the poetry reading by the students. latest film, Cruising. Pacino portrays an undercover cop sent out to find a psychotic murderer of homosexuals. His task takes him into the homosexual community of New York, where he and the viewer are exposed to explicit, gay, sexual activity and language that would make the likes of Frank Zappa cringe. Gruesome murders, shown on four separate occasions, are spiced up by one victim getting the blade 25 times. Pacino‘s character is constantly being molded. As a newcomer to the gay community, the learning process he goes through verges on amusing. A case in point is when a shopkeeper attempts to explain the sexual connotations of different colored hand- kerchiefs and their suggestive placement in various pockets Ieavmg Pacino totally dumbfounded. The light humor is William [The Exorcist] Freidkins attempt to break the viewer from the constant bombardment of sex. foul language and gruesome murders. Through his fine direction. Freidkins keeps the audience in constant suspense. only occasionally letting one up for air. Freidkins uses Pacino‘s talents by allowing the viewer to feel the torment his character is subjected to (being in love with his girlfriend and the life he is forced to conform to).

Augsburg played host to the Mankato State University Mavericks in an action-filled contest. At the tip~off. Augsburg came out smokin! They pressed immediately. preventing Mankato from establishing a rhythm. Eight unanswered points coupled with a fuil court press rattled the Mavericks, At the 13:40 mark, Augsburg was ahead by 11 points. Mankato adjusted and slowly whittled the margin to four points. With less than five minutes to play in the half. Augsburg went into a control offense. Mankato had an opportunity to take possession with 46 seconds remaining. but the jump ball was tipped to an Auggie. Mike Smith went to the baseline for a one—and-one with 15 seconds left and made both of them. Two seconds before the buzzer. Tim Mattek was called for his third personal foul. Trouble’s a-brewing. Half-time score: Augsburg leading 31—25. Icemen upset By HOWARD SMITH Associate Sports Editor It happened again. in the opening round of the N.A.l.A. Hockey Tournament, the Augsburg squad lost 6-5 to the University of Michigan-Dearborn (UMD), and thus was upset for the second straight year. The final game of the opening round got off to a quick start with the first stoppage in play coming after over three minutes gone. The Auggies were breaking out of their own zone with ease,and it was only a matter of time until they scored. With only 5:44 gone in the first period, the Auggies went on the power play. They worked the puck around but couldn't get a good, solid opening to score. It seemed the first break would go by without a score. Then with only six seconds left in the man-advantage. Brian DeClercq got the puck from a hard working Terry Brown and came around from behind the net to jam in the go-ahead goal under a surprised UMD goalie. V They increased their lead on another power play at 9:53 when Kevin Gordon Forward Chuck McCan. slipped this one past UMD's goalie to put Augsburg up by two in the second period. It was all downhill tor Augsburg thereafter. ECHO Pholo by Howard Smith 10 Junior forward, Greg Boone. goes up for two against Mankato. ECHO Pholo by Howard SMith He'll be back next year.

UMD got one back before the period ended when they converted on a picture perfect 2-on~1. Auggie goalie Mike Burkhardt had little chance as the shot whistled past him. Augsburg outshot UMD 15-9 as the period closed. The Auggies were looking very good as they killed off Bob Thayer's slashing penalty at 2:53, allowing only one shot on goal. A few minutes later, they almost made it 3—1. Gordon found himself in front With the puck, and in a scramble that followed, appeared to score. As the team was celebrating, the referee skated by and told them the goal was being disallowed because, he said, it was kicked in. So, instead of two goals up, they soon found themselves tied. Three minutes after the “no-goal," at 9:53, UMD tied it up on the power play. With Brown off for two minutes for tripping, UMD scored on the rebound after Burkhardt made the initial save. Halfway through the game the two teams were tied 22. After Gordon missed on a breakaway at 12:20, the Auggies came back to take the lead. The Thayer-Al Sova-John Ferrera line was applying heavy pressure (as they had done all night) when they were finally rewarded. Thayer found himself all alone in front with the puck and. one flip later. they were leading 3-2, Assists went to hustling Al Save and Brian Gauger. The lead increased to 4-2 when Chris Walker fed a pretty pass to Chuck McCan. who put it between the goalies legs before he could react. UMD came back with one more. just before the period ended, A UMD player came down the left side and beat a falling Auggie defenseman. then lifted a soft backhand from a bad angle that somehow got past Burkhardt to make it 4-3. The shots on goal in the second period were 22 for game. the Auggies were ahead 43-30. They were sinking almost 50 percent from the floor and were faring well under the boards in spite of the height disadvantage. The Auggie defense relied on aggressiveness and quick- ness. Mankato was denied many shots from the floor, but Augsburg's foul trouble allowed the Mavericks to close the gap. With less than seven minutes remaining, Brad Henke and Mike Smith had four fouls apiece. and by the 2:43 mark, Tim Mattek and Henke had fouled out. Score: Augsburg leading 48-46. Greg Boone upped the score seconds later with a field goal and Mankato quickly replied. Two points separated the teams. Mankato forward Tim Wahl capitalized on an Augsburg turnover with a dunk at 1:52. Tie game! A steal by Brad Brewster, picked up by Ron Henderson. and an Augsburg time out with three seconds left had the Auggie fans on their feet. A fifty-foot desperation shot by Brewster just missed. At the end of regulation time. the score was tied 50-50. Mankato got the'overtime tip-off, Championship Augsburg and 18 for UMD. The third period opened with the Auggies killing off another penalty, this time tripping on Gauger. Only 33 seconds after the penalty had expired, UMD tied it at 4-4. It came on another rebound goal in front. With 4:51 gone in the final period, (39 seconds following the goal) UMD scored again to make it 5-4 in their favor. The shot, coming from close to, if not outside, the blue line, seemed to have taken Burkhardt by surprise (or else he was screened). The Auggies now had their work cut out for them, After some big saves from both goalies, UMD scored the eventual game winner. Burkhardt made the initial save but. with both defensemen caught up ice and away from the net, there was nobody around to clear away the puck. The UMD player had an open net and he didn‘t miss. Now things were getting close to desperate. With 2:38 remaining in the game, Jarnes found himself open at the mint and drilled a low shot on goal. The puck deflected off of a UMD player and into the net to cut the margin to 6-5. But UMD wasn‘t about to let the Auggies back into it. In the final minutes. UMD was content to just dump the puck out of their zone and make the Auggies set up again. The Auggies wanted a faceoff in UMD's zone and. with 39 seconds left. they got one. But to the surprise of many, Coach Saugestad didn't pull his goalie in favor of a sixth attacker. They couldn't get in close and it ended 6-5. The season ended with the overall record of 22-6, very respectable in anyones book. But. as far as nationals are concerned, it will have to be "wait 'til next year " Win $25!

The Mavericks came back with a field goal at 4:18. Score: 52-52. Augsburg took the ball into the Mankato zone and tried to work it to Boone. Coach Flees Johnson had the Auggies switch their offensive set to counter the Mankato defense. A charging foul to Henderson resulted in two points for the Mavericks. A travelling call against Augsburg turned the ball over to Mankato. At 1:18. Mike Smith fouled out, Mankato converted the first free throw and David Fitzke picked up the rebound from the missed second shot. Eighteen seconds later, Boone sank a field goal to bring the Auggies within one point. The Mavericks played keep-away until Brewster fouled with twenty seconds to go. Johnson called a time-out before the foul shots were taken. Groge of Mankato converted both free throws to put them three points ahead. Another Auggie time-out was called at 0:16. Augsburg then worked the ball to Ron Henderson who scored a 20 foot jumper with seven seconds left. Fitzke fouled seconds later and Mankato converted both shots. Score: Mankato 59—56. At the buzzer, Charles Emmons scored from a 75—foot pass from Henderson, Final score: Mankato 59—Augsburg 58. It was a tough ending for a talented team. Johnson summed it up quite well, “They played their hearts out . .. They worked hard; not just tonight but all season long . . . I'm proud of them."

Show moreBy KRISTEN OLSRUD Norikazu [Norie] Shiiya, 18, is a freshman at Augsburg from Tokyo. Japan. He came to the US. as a Rotary exchange student, and graduated from high school in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, When he asked the Rotary sponsor for advice on selecting an American college, Augsburg was recommended to him. In Tokyo, Norie lived with his parents, two sisters. 12 and 17. and one brother, 16. He worked for the post office and for his father's trucking company, which hauls imported goods from ships to warehouses. Norie hopes to become a professional photographer. He is studying animal behavior to improve his photographs of birds and other wildlife in their natural environments. During international Week at Augsburg last November, he showed some of his slides of Japan in the College Center lobby. Norie plans to continue his education in photography at New York City. Norie enjoys traveling, and always takes his camera along. Last summer he joined a Rotary tour of Chicago, Tampa, Mount Vernon, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. He traveled around Japan during Interim, Visiting his family and friends. This summer he plans a trip to the Grand Canyon with a friend from Japan. In comparing American and Japanese colleges, Norie noticed that the Japanese study very hard to pass the college entrance examinations, But he said that once in college, “they lose their purpose and don‘t study anvmore. They already have the knowledge, so they pass the courses easily." In contrast, it is easy to be admitted to American colleges, but students must study more once they are in, he said. Like most college students, Norie is a great fan of pizza; however. his general opinion of American food is: “it just cannot be worse." He had anticipated that his favorite Japanese meal, raw fish, would not be served here. “Before I left Japan, I trained myself to eat American food—hamburgers at MacDonald's in Tokyo," he said. But it didn't help. “Food should be more tasteful," he explained. “In Japan we have seven different tastes on our tongues. Americans have only five tastes." Another difference between Japan and Minnesota is the weather. Some places in Japan have three to five meters of snow (about 10 to 16 feet) a year, according to Norie. "Sometimes people wake up in the morning and find their doors and windows covered With snow. They have to climb out of an upstairs window to get out of the house," he said. ,’\ f .. j» a N \N .A/ A/ \ nick 'l'DAcf/Ls Attention Auggies ~ L We've got the goods on ‘ / _ n the best burgers in tow . not to mention a Wide variety ol cordials. liqueurs. 4 beers on tap. and tree popcorn.

One of the main purposes of the program had been to save money by sharing charter flights. and increased costs for Caucus Continued from page 4 a resolution. And it the resolution passes it moves forward to the district convention, and then perhaps even to the state or national convention. If adopted at the national convention, the resolution becomes part of the national party platform. Such opportunity for grass roots participation in American political debate is rare. _V What a shame it would be if Minnesota went 'to a presidential primary and grass roots participation in caucuses was eliminated, Platforms would be developed by what may be termed “professional party people," and representative democracy would suffer. On a national scale it could probably be conceded that some element of primaries is probably necessary, since candidates must prove they can win elections to be truly considered presidential material, But it must be remembered that primary elections are won and lost on charters have eliminated this advan- tage. The termination of this program is not expected to cut down the number of international interims available at Augsburg, and Augsburg students will still be able to register for St. Olaf interims. But the administration of these programs will be totally separate. There were some feelings in the faculty at Augsburg that St. Olaf had decided to make the split because of an apparent concern about the quality of Augsburg programs, However, Mary Kingsley. Assistant Professor of Foreign Languages, said that a study would show that the quality of Augsburg's interim programs “has been as good or better than St. OIaf‘s." Kingsley agreed that the split is a wise financial move for both schools. the media battleground. That battle- ground involves significantly different participants whose dimension of interests is much narrower in scope. And a primary election will attract the advertising dollars of those interests to the Minnesota media. Think about it for a minute. Given the narrow emphasis of the heavy coverage precinct caucuses received, it seems apparent that the media managers have thought about it a great deal. Let‘s hope Minnesotans give careful thought to proposals to convert to a primary system of electing delegates. soundings offended and outraged when someone criticizes women's activities of any sort. Take women‘s basketball. i hate women's basketball. I think it is terminally dull, I'd rather watch paint dry. But when I mention that to a woman, the immediate reaction iS. "How dare you!" Right away I'm accused of being a chauvinist, I‘m told: "You hate women's sports, don‘t you? Just because women are playing, right? You think women should stay in the house and watch the boys play ball, You think all we can do is make babies and do the housework. Well, let me just tell you. Mr. Temple . . . Wiong Dead wrong. I have nothing against women‘s sports, I really enjoy women’s tennis. I was fascmated by the woman figure skaters in the Olympics. Last fall I saw my first women's volleyball match and found it very exciting. I just happen to think women's basketball is boring. So why can‘t I say that without getting my head bitten off? Another problem with feminists l have known, and certainly one of the worst problems. is that they seem to have an unjust. stereotypical resentment of men in general. Anyone who happened to have been born With a penis is treated with hostility by these activists. as if they're saying. “You've treated us like shit all these years, you . . . you . . . MAN. you!" Some of their complaints. granted. are legitimate. For example. there have been numerous reports in recent years of females being taken advantage of. sometimes sexually. in the business world. But since I personally have not oppressed the female sex. and since I have never attempted sexual harrassment of women who work for me at KCMFI radio. lam deeply offended when i am treated With feelings of hatred just because I'm a male.

The Planter‘s Moon. September, The Harvest Moon, November, The Hunter‘s Moon. it is March now, The Hunger Moon. At 2:30 am. as i stand silently in the snow-covered farmyard I can look over the fields and pasture as if it were the light of day. All things were encompassed by the light of the brightly shining Hunger Moon. Nature's young and innocent creatures, as ourselves, born into the warmth and joyful bounty of spring, have never before faced the reality that death by starvation affords. They do now. We have never even faced that eventuality in our minds. We must do so now, We hide ourselves from life and death. denying their existence We have a steel. concrete, tar-paved environment; lifeless yet steady and controlled that's slowly engulfing us. We put our wise elders in homes to hide aging, we buy our plastic— coated meat from antiseptic refrigerators to hide death, and we are literally amused by activists who cry out about Biafra, Bangladesh, Nicaragua. and Cambodia in our efforts to hide reality, It's all driving me insane! I read an article where people are complaining about the food-service; we are dying as a people and we don‘t even know it. Driving south into Kansas on 35W you see a big sign reading “Every Kansas Farmer feeds fifty-eight people." i shed a silent tear, Turning to the agribusiness reports in the Wall Street Journal I read, “Future holds factory farms." My weeping is barely audible. You get what you pay for, and we want progress. progress, progress! Grain production, livestock feeding, vegetable and fruit production. and other agricultural enterprises may be headed irrevocably toward the large-scale, factory-like production methods. Who cares? After all, there is only shallow evidence to support the small farmers, Various studies cited in the Wall Street Journal show substantial efficiency gains in production for farms that sell $100,000 or more of farm goods, annually, According to J.B. Penn, deputy administrator of the Agriculture Department's Economics, Statistics and Cooperatives Service, “more than fifty percent of the farm and ranch land in the United States is owned by someone who is older than seventy. A tremendous turnover in land ownership is just ahead of us." Who's going to get it? That is up to us. We will decide whether European, Japanese, and Middle—Eastern foreign investors end—up owning a sizable hunk of America's rich, fertile farm and ranch land. (Think about that the next time you fill the tank of your foreign-built car.) We will decide how much land goes from crops into housing developments, shopping centers, dumps and landfills; freeways, Grandwiches. industrial factories, plants and mills? We will decide whether the rising cost of farming and that increasingly critical “cash flow" make factory farms a reality? it‘s bad enough that the oil companies have us by the, er, ah . . ., throat. How‘s it going to be when Exxon decides if we can drive to the supermarket and General Mills decides if there is any food there. Don't tell me that it'll never happen. The American Bounty. I am the grandson of Scandinavian immigrants that came unto a good land—the good earth and soil of America. “We can feed the world!" American farmers cried. Tell me about it. Millions die of starvation in this world, yearly. If that hurts a little too much, I‘ll say they died of malnourishment instead. That way we don't feel the pain or see the face of the baby with the bloated stomach. Maybe you think that it will never happen in America. Bull. Acid rain right now is reducing the fertitlity of every acre in America. And there are more of us to feed. Crop failures, insects and climatic temperature changes bringing a series of early frosts, floods, and droughts; gas shortages. increases in solar flares, fertilizer shortages, a thousand and one things that might someday keep food from your kitchen table. And there are more of us to feed. I know that more and more herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, and biocides will mean for us all eventual genocide. So I look to draft horses on a quiet, organic homestead. A ray of hope that gives me the strength and courage to continue on my crazy path toward survival. Horses are a part of my renewed interest in, and my concern for. the environment; the quiet values of rural life and the problems of pollution and fuel shortages. After all, a non-polluting farm machine that consumes only the fuel a farm can produce is pretty attractive. I can hear a few of you out there laughing. Pulling your twleve-bottom plow in the comfort of your air-conditioned deiseI-powered four-wheel-drive tractor gives you a certain kind of superiority. You're feeding hundreds of people. Stick it in your ear. I'm saying if a few more of us had the guts to accept the challenge of someday producing our own food we wouldn‘t need you, or your steel machine, your exhaust, your fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Or your factory farm, your energy needs and your chemical-filled food with toxic residue. Laugh while you can. Some night you might come to me asking for food, in the light of the Hunger Moon. Canning, drying, storing, freezing, butchering. growing and eating it fresh. I'm going to be ready for that Hunger Moon. I won't be able to feed everyone, just my family and a few friends, And we'll all be armed to the teeth. Survival, for me and my family, that‘s all that I‘ll be thinking of. No Christian ideals that we all must share. This is Darwin talking, only the strong shall survive. l‘ll wish that you had listened to me and that you had a farm of your own with the resources to provide food and shelter for your friends and family. if you want food tomorrow, you have to pay for it today. There is no free lunch. We all still have the freedom to decide what kind of future we want to have. Maybe I'm being a little heavy-handed. This talk about food shortages and hunger may just be a little bit much. Possibly the trends that i fear could be handled with new. severely restrictive farm policies, that your legislators could move for in an effort to help small farms survive. Or maybe the factory farm can feed us all. I hesitate to think that everyone is betting their life that they will. I am not a pessimist, I am a "possibilist." It still can turn out all right. That Hunger Moon might never shine for us. I only hope that that someday never arrives when the imminent threat of starvation awakens you from your peaceful slumber of ignorance. I'm praying for you from down on the farm. What makes Perkins sandwiches so special? Good meats, cheeses, special'sauces, cn'sp lettuce. extra care in making them.

Energy. specifically petroleum, is not the abundent, cheap resource it once was. But then that observation is nothing new; or is it? How many people have conveniently forgotten about last spring‘s gasoline shortage? Remember? People fought in the gas lines, they refused to comply with minimum filling limits, and some even took to siphoning and hoarding. And what about those $1.14 gasoline prices that seem so exorbitantly high. And that 55 mph. limit which a significant proportion of our metropolitan roadsters must have forgotten about? Remember? It is becoming increasingly evident that the energy crisis has left no impression on most people, and it probably won‘t until “somebody else“ takes action—something the majority of Americans seem unwilling to do. So, who‘s going to act? Well, without a doubt. OPEC will continue price hikes which will in turn increase the already artificial petroleum price levels in America. Yet, people will insist on keeping the lids there. How can people conserve in that situation? They haven't even felt the crunch yet, and here we are in the midst of a long-term crisis. At Augsburg last Friday, St. Paul Mayor George Latimer, offered some keen observations concerning people’s perceptions of this all—encompassing energy crisis. The problem is, people havent perceived anything, therefore there is no crisis—no need for action. Latimer was also quick to point out that transportation comprises only a part of our overall consumption of fuel, (It makes up a third of St. Paul's.) Coupled with conservation at the pumps, is the need for other conservation schemes; schemes that will cost money. And who's going to pay for them? You, the taxpayer. Some are sure to cry: “Oh, no, another government boondoggIe—a waste of the taxpayer's money." Granted, sometimes the government wastes more than most institutions in society. And of course we've seen the failures and uselessness of all-too-many government programs. (Thank you, William Proxmire.) However, there comes a time when action is vital to the interest of the community as a whole, and that‘s where government programs promoting cooperative use of utilities, for example, are deemed reasonable and necessary. People have to plan now to meet the energy needs of the future. The Augsburg community has already taken a positive step in this regard with the plan to share the central heating system at the U. of M. And last week's energy conference, directed by Mildred Joel, where experts from around the world came to discuss the energy needs of residential housing was a positive step in solving what Minneapolis Mayor Donald Fraser termed “one of America's most crucial problems." People cannot forever sit back and operate realistically with the blind. self-serving perceptions and actions that permeate much of today's society. If this is to be the case then we might as well reframe the American Constitution on the ideals of Machiavelli and Darwin. 4 oRCTET/SEfi 3 ‘ 5 0 etters Has anybody heard To the Editor: Havel missed something?

Media threatens existence of precinct caucus By LARRY COUTURE Former Echo Editor When Minnesotans in 4000 election precincts caucused a week ago Tuesday night they received unpre— cedented media coverage for such an event. But the coverage focused on presidential preferences and fueled efforts currently underway in our state to eliminate the precinct caucus in favor of a presidential primary. The media coverage downplayed issue re- solutions and the significant part they play in developing a party platform. How ironic it is that the publicity caucus goers have sought for years may now threaten the existence of the precinct caucus itself. As caucuses are reduced in the public perception to mere presidential preference forums, more people will decide that they would rather spend 15 minutes voting rather than two hours in a caucus meeting. It is unfortunate that the media gave such a narrow view of precinct caucuses to those people who have never attended one. Had the media devoted more ink and airwaves communicating to people that they could bring any issue or concern to their caucus and have it voted on as a resolution, perhaps we could have had a more accurate picture of what a precinct caucus is all about. The media downplayed the fact that in many caucuses presidential prefer- ence was never even discussed as an issue. in fact the media itselfestimated that in caucuses where presidential preference was discussed as an issue, nearly 40% of the delegates in DFL caucuses were uncommitted. Little analysis was done to explain why many of these people are uncommitted. Such analysis would probably show the emphasis on issues rather than candidates that these uncommitted delegates hold. Proper media coverage would have explained that each eligibile voter has the opportunity to bring an issue to the caucus and have that issue voted on as Continued on page 8 Friday, March 7, 1980 Show less

Tim Mungaven, Repre- sentative from the Cedar/Riverside Project Area Committee (PAC) explained the history of the PAC to an audience of about 30 students in the College Center at noon last Wednes- day, Feb. 27. Mungaven was one of a seven member panel, comprised of Augs— burg, PAC, and neighborhood repre- sentatives, known as the Augsburg Task Force of the Cedar/Riverside PAC, Communication between Augsburg and PAC resumed last fall after controversy flaired over the three Augsburg owned houses that were demolished to make way for additional parking space. PAC, with help from former Alderman Zollie Green, had originally blocked demoliton permits, but when members of PAC began sympathizing with Tony Scallon. Green's opponent in last fall‘s election, Green reversed his original position and allowed the demolition permits to go through. Augsburg wasted no time in starting the demolitions necessary to provide for the additional parking, which prompted the defacing of the new Augsburg Music Building. It was then that Augsburg's Garv Hesser was elected as a representative on Cedar/Riverside‘s PAC and communication between Augsburg and PAC was re-established. As a means of communication, the Augs- burg Task Force was developed. The discussion held by the Task Policy One of these is the deletion of the requirement to report anticipated income for a party. Since donations are supposed to be voluntary, it was felt that it would be impossible to accurately estimate this. Deletion of the requirement to report the cost of alcoholic beverages and of the requirement to report cost and Continued from page 2 Friday. March 7.1980 Force Wednesday centered on Augsburg's plans for future develop- ment. Acting as mediator of the two "sides." as he put it, was the Reverend Charles Bachmanelis. “The fact that we call them (PAC and Augsburg) would suggest that there's opposition here, which is accurate I guess,” said Bachmanelis. Opposition was apparent as Mun- gaven began by describing developers as, “people looking down on a plot of land from an airplane in order to get an ‘overview‘ of the situation." President Oscar Anderson re- sponded by stating that while Augsburg is not only a member of this community, it has been established here for 109 years. "Augsburg‘s mission is to provide an education for its students." said Anderson. “The maintenance and improvement of our facilities within our resources.“ he later added, “depends upon the environment, economics, and energy . . . . There's no way I can justify spending student's fees to provide low—cost housing for residents who aren't in any way connected with Augsburg College," said Anderson. Jan Jensen Medcalf. a renter in Augsburg owned housing, urged Augsburg to act as a responsible landlord by maintaining their property, and for all members of the community to “work together on the process of preserving old. historical housing.“ The preservation of some existing single family houses as well as the —ECHO Photo by Erik Kanten quantity of food served was also recommended, It was felt that these costs aren‘t really important in determing whether or not a party should be approved. The Ad Hoc Committee working on the alcohol policy will meet with the Student Conduct Advisory Committee next Wednesday, Mar. 12, to discuss how these changes should be implemented. 7,_. 9:1: *1? i A,» ' ' (Downside gomist i "The Wedding Place ‘ 2435 RlVEHSIDE AVENUE ‘.‘llNNEA90LlS MlNNESOTA 55454 development of new housing units is one project of the Cedar/Riverside PAC. Members of the community have submitted ideas to PAC for develop- ment which have been voted on. approved, and formed into a long-range development plan for the Cedar/Riverside area. PAC is now urging Augsburg to reconsider their long»range plans so that the community as a whole will be more satisfied with the future developments. Gary Hesser, in a “word of judgement" for Augsburg said, “We are an educational institution . . . . i am mostly concerned that how we respond to issues, our environment, and how we respon5ibly use energy and our limited resources can be the most important lesson we can give to our students." Members on the Task Force did agree that communication was of ultimate importance. though as Bachmanelis stated, dialogue meant. “really being interested in listening to the other side instead of just making sure our point of view is known." Since only five minutes was available after the forum for open questions to the panel. many students PAC and community voice concerns at forum questions went unheard. The panel then took the opportunity to urge everyone to get involved in the community. whether by attending PAC meetings (held the first Tuesday of every month), volunteering time at the North Country COOP. or by taking advantage of the many servuces provided in the Cedar/RiverSide area For further information on how to get Involved in the activities of your community. contact Mary Beamish.

Donating plasma is entirely different from donating blood. First, the process takes longer than the 45-or-so minutes it takes to donate blood. New plasma donors can expect to spend about two hours at the donation center, returning donors between an hour and an hour and 15 minutes. Secondly, the red and white blood cells are returned to the donor. “Donating plasma is almost healthier, because you’re not losing anything,” Peppard maintained. And Peterson/Barman Continued from page 1 Augsburg Football Team for two years. This spring he will appear in his third play at Augsburg. Together they think they offer a diversity of experiences and ideas to the student body. They feel their familiarity with key administrators, staffers and faculty will provide a sound base to solve problems. Peterson and Rorman met each other four years ago while in high school. Each represented their school in the annual Boy's State. This organization offers experience in developing and running a mock government. Their main push now, though, is to change the attitudes about Student Society and how it works (both its inner activities and relations with other groups). They want to instill a can—do attitude. “Why is it that Augsburg istheonlycollege among the private schools that doesn‘t give credit for varsity sports or musical groups?" said Peterson. “We think we can get that changed, but they (Student Society) have to believe they can do it—pursue it." Life-time sports credit for varsity participation, credit for band, orchestra and choir activity, expansion of the check-cashing policy, food service and alcohol policies head—up some of their concerns directly affecting students. Further. they expressed concern over college policies on housing (both student and tenant). parking and lots, and long-range community develop- ment. “We feel we can go beyond incremental changes here and there," said Rorman, "and start a new trend of student government as active."

A donor receives $10 for each donation and can visit twice a week. At Blood Plasma Services, a $15 bonus is paid for eight donations in a month and a $2 bonus paid for each donor another donor recruits. But there is a fly in the plasma. The Internal Revenue Service does require those donors who earn over $600 from donating plasma to claim that money as income on their tax returns. While Peppard estimated donors at his 1054 University Ave. location were 25 percent students and 25 percent blue-collar workers, he guessed that the student percentage is higher at the 1026 Washington Ave. location in Dinkytown. Mike Smith, Willie Bluth, and Jeff Garzon, all Augsburg students, are patrons of the Dinkytown location. They are saving for a spring skiing trip in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Although Smith and Bluth work in the cafeteria, Smith feels that donating blood is a faster way to make money. Blood Plasma Services, Inc. has a third location at 1515 Nicollet Ave.. 22 plasma centers nationwide. Their competition in this area are Minne- apolis Plasma Center, 1014 Franklin Ave. E., and Associated Bioscience, 1552 E. Lake Street. Although all the plasma centers pay $10 for each donation, only Blood Plasma Services offers the bonuses. So whether you're currently un- employed or don't make enough money at your present job, donating plasma is an alternative to consider.

A top priority of MS is the food ser- vice. They would like to see a Student Menu Board, where students would help in budgeting and menu planning. Both Maland and Sill want to see more things done about the problems that were brought out in the recent Food Service survery they coordinated. The Maland/Sill team plan to start a program called UFFDA (Unifying Fellow Freshman Dedicated to Augsburg). It is a program designed to promote interaction among freshman commuters and residents from the first day they arrive on campus. The program would assign commuters to floors in Urness and they would be encouraged to participate in all activities. Other goals of MS consist of broadening Program Commission by increasing the number of people work— ing with it and expanding the areas in which the commission is currently involved. They would like to see more cooperation with the Fine Arts programs in Minneapolis. Maland and Sill would like to see the Auggie done by Sept. 30 next fall, and feel the date is realistic. "With ten qualified people working on it, it can be done," said Sill. Further ideas cited by the team consist of a new method of handling work orders, possibilities of getting one academic credit for two lifetime sports, a new, workable bookboard (with an option to loan books), a column in the Echo called “Administration Answers," new washers and dryers, free check cashing, and improvements in annex housing conditions. Maland and Sill report that they have been told by various administra- tors that their plans are realistic and feasible.

Show morepoul kilqore The St. Olaf myth The St. Olaf professor was introducing our interim group to the political party spokesman in Rome. “We are students from St. Olaf College in Minnesota, in the n0rthern central part of America," he said (there were actually twenty-seven students from Olaf, and two of us from Augsburg). “St. Olaf is a pre-professional school. where students study before going on to medical school, law school, or other types of graduate work." It's fairly obvious that students (and faculty) perceive their colleges in certain ways and then tend to categorize schools according to these perceptions. Augsburg. for example, usually identifies itself with its urban setting, its Norwegian heritage, and its ties to the Lutheran Church. The way in which St. Olaf views itself is much more specific, being based on a single assumption: that the education they offer is superior to any other a student can find in the Midwest. Even when I was in high school, we had gotten the word that St. Olaf is Minnesota's answer to the Ivy League. I never totally believed it, but—well, there was the matter of all those people who did believe it. Ididn't think they could all be wrong. So my interim course gave me a nice opportunity to spend a month with some Olaf students and see what they were all about. i had heard stories, of course. many of them having to do with the students' similarity to one another and the closed nature of the St. Olaf society (charges which, incidentally, are sometimes leveled at Augsburg). There is the story, for instance, of a St. Olaf prof who begins each semester by challenging his students to “not become rich Republicans who marry other blond Oles, live in Edina, and work for Lutheran Brotherhood." During January I discovered why this prof is so concerned. His generalizations appear to be amazingly accurate. l became convinced of the political label during a debate we had in a bar in Strasbourg, France. “Who are you for." two of the Oles questioned me, “Bush or Connally?" I told them I wouldn't vote for either, "Oh," they nodded in happy recognition, “A Reagan man, huh?" I became convinced of the charge of elitism somewhere in Germany, when some of the kids told me about their families. I heard about the father who completes business deals with Bruce Jenner, and about the father who keeps a record of the best European restaurants, and about the father who has made a hobby of collecting condominiums in Florida. I was already convinced of the charge of Oles putting a high value on status when one of the students toldme hehad sent transfer applications to several Ivy League schools. “How come you're leaving St. Olaf?" I asked. “Oh, I‘m not." he answered. “I just want to see if I can get accepted out East.“ And of all these shared qualities, the one that was most visible was the attitude of St. Olaf's superiority. Am I exaggerating this a bit? Well, I did overhear one Ole explain how America's best students go to one of three schools, depending on where they live. Easterners, he said. go to Harvard. Those on the West Coast go to Stanford. Guess where we Midwesterners go. The astonishing thing about this attitude is that St. Olaf students see no need for elaborating on it. The reasons are never explained, but instead implied. “Look at our students," the hint goes. “Why, we’ll become rich businessmen and live in the best suburbs." “Your fathers are rich businessmen who live in the best suburbs," I want to answer. “Is it then so unusual that you'll turn out the same?" “But consider those who have attended St. Olaf: Al Quie, the governor. and Ole Rolvaag, the author—“ "And Jay Gatsby, the bootlegger?“ I invite any Ole to give his or her side of the story. If St. Olaf has good reasons for being the best, please let me hear them. As far as I can see, the only advantage St. Olaf has over the rest is that it has been able to perpetuate one of the most ridiculous myths concerning higher education in the Midwest. chauvinist pig!" The women's movement, boys and girls, has gone too far. I‘m fed up with it. It started out as a good thing, which was going to make us all equal, and we were all going to live happily ever after. But they went too far, tried too much. There are several ideas this movement brought up which should have been put into effect years, or even decades ago. Let's look at a few example. Women should get equal pay for equal work with equal seniority. Fine, great. Women should be hired to do any job they are qualified for. No argument here. if both husband and wife are working. they should share the housework. Why not? But when a woman bitches at some guy because he happened to call her “Miss” instead of “Ms.” or when a women's church group plots to get rid of a minister because he uses the word “mankind” in his serwces. I become very annoyed and angered. I'm annoyed because the feminists I‘ve encountered seem to take things a bit too seriously, and worry too much about unimportant matters. Also. they are often Too much Many interesting things happened during the 1970's as a result of what is knoWn as the “Women's Movement.“ Thousands of housewives who had thought they were happy all these years were told that they really weren't, and were made to feel guilty about it. The divorce rate skyrocketed. More and more women were suffering from heart attacks. mental problems, and alcoholism. Oh, and the National Weather Service began naming hurricanes after males. Women everywhere began the cry, “Hate men. Kill men. Men are the enemy. They have oppressed you. They have taken advantage of you. Get up, and fight back! Go get "em. girls!"

Working for the students of Augsburg, making a concerted effort at getting people involved, and getting things done are the major concerns of the Maland/Sill team. Maland and Sill, otherwise known as MS, believe they have the experience and back- ground to set realistic goals and then accomplish them. “I've been on a lot of committees and know how they are run," said Sill. “I know how the Senate runs and how it can be improved. I feel I have the Maland and Sill: 'Working for you ' leadership and organizational skills needed for the position," he added. “Because I‘ve been on the housing staff and other committees I feel I have good qualifications." Maland ex- plained. “I feel like a student, yet there are times when l have felt like an administrator." She added, “You have to know what you're saying, facts and all, when you're dealing with the President's staff. You have to be able to give the administrators the student's concerns." Maland believes she has the ability to voice students‘ concerns to the Augsburg administra- tion effectively. Maland is running for the position of President of the Student Society. She is a psychology major and a com» munications minor. Currently a junior, Maland is an assistant head resident in Mortensen Tower, as well as the originator and chairperson of the Mortensen Tenant Society.

Peppard added that they (Blood Plasma Services) were actually paying for the donor's time. A second misconception concerning donating plasma is that anyone can donate.

If the veins are not big enough or strong enough, the person is rejected.

St. Paul Mayor George Latimer attacked this general political trend in America, suggesting that it could have a devastating impact on Minnesota and the country in the 80's. Delivering his keynote address last Friday, to a near full Sateren Auditorium at a conference entitled “Impact of Energy Conservation on Residential Housing," Latimer ac- cused the political leadership in America of lacking the perception that public support for cooperative energy programs (i.e. district hot water heating) is a political necessity. “I'd like to make a statement that is quite political in the very largest sense and also in the smallest sense,” said Latimer. "Government officials all over the country, in the legislature and certainly in the governor‘s mansion of this state, and mayors—are still marching to the Prop. 13 drummer." “We are still seeking votes, seeking support, shaping programs, looking for favors, all based on the proposition that the reduction or the control of public investment, or taxes, is in fact the highest good, if not the only good." Latimer continued, “And I think that if we do not have the wisdom as a community to address the issue differently—the relationship between energy, economics, private industry and political investment to reduce that hardship—and make it more rational, I think that the ’803 could be a terrifying Echo wins award The Associated Collegiate Press (ACP) awarded the Augsburg Echo a first class rating for the first semester of the 1979-80 academic year.

Five areas of the publication were judged for marks of distinction. These areas are: coverage and content, writing and editing, editorial leader- ship and opinion features, physical appearance and visual communication, and photography, art- and use of graphics.

According to Latimer, the greater metropolitan area could save an estimated 40 million barrels of oil a year if it converted to a district hot water heating system."With oil at the present price of $30 per barrel, I won‘t even deal with $60 or $90 or a $120 per barrel, and we will surely find ourselves there someday in the future, but we will deal with today‘s price, and act like it’s never going to go up. Thirty dollars, times 40 million barrels annually—what does it come to?—1.2 billion dollars a year,” explained Latimer. However, Latimer contended that a comprehensive, 5 billion dollar plan establishing a district hot water heating system “wouldn't even receive 10 percent support.

The Board of Regents at their meeting on February 25, “informally” approved a list of Student Senate recommendations intended to liberal- ize the policy and give students more responsibility. The board qualified the approval as “informal” because of the legislation pending in the Minnesota state legislature which if passed would raise the legal drinking age back to 21. If this legislation does pass, the policy will have to be started again from scratch. The recommendations did not include changes in the philosophy of the current policy, but rather centered on some changes in the policy's implementation in order to make it more realistic, more enforcable, and more clearly understood. The board called these recommendations reason- able, but left authority for the final decision on changes in implementation to the administration, encouraging them to consider student input in that decision. Some of the recommended changes are: (1) increasing the size of a party that may be held without requiring the sponsors to meet with the Student Conduct Advisory Committee. (2) clearly defining an "open party“ as one with no limit on the number of guests or one which is advertised publicly. Hopefully this will end the questions about what kind of party is prohibited. (3) encouraging rather than requiring the serving of food at all parties. (4) changing the application deadling from five to three days before the event. Changes were also recommened in the Group Use Contract application. Continued on page 3 PENNY BECKER can: >: THE AUGSBURG ECHO.

Show moreVice President of Development resigns after nineteen years By TEDD PETERSON Assocrate Editor in a new chapter to the re—shuffling of Augsburg‘s administration, Vice President for Development Glen Johnson has resigned to take a job with Abbott-Northwestern Hospital, Inc. Johnson's resignation will be an— nounced at the Board of Regents meeting this Monday, Feb. 25, and his 19 years at Augsburg will officially end on April 1. The major factor in Johnson‘s decision to leave Augsburg was the resignation of President Oscar Ander— son. Johnson feels that a close rela- tionship between the new president and his top-level administrators is vital. He said, “It's very important that the president have primary input in choosing his chief officers,” and added that this is especially important in the development and academic areas. He pointed out that in both the business and academic worlds it is not uncommon to have major adminis— trative changes accompany the de- parture of a president. Late last year Abbott-Northwestern approached Johnson and offered him, strangely enough, the position of Vice—President for Development and Vice president of Development, Glen Johnson, said: "Augsburg is in a much sounder fiscal position than it has been for some time. " ,ECHO Pholo by Kyle Luetzow Public Relations. His duties at Abbott- Northwestern will be very similar to his duties here, with more emphasis on community relations. Although public relations (and admissions) used Alternatives offered to draft By MARY BEAMISH Students should become aware of alternatives to being drafted and fighting in a war, according to Verlyn Smith. Smith, of Metropolitan Campus Ministries, spoke to about 60 Augsburg students at a noon forum in the Augsburg College Center on Feb. 11 The possibility of reviving the draft has become more distinct since President Carter‘s Jan. 23 State of the Union speech, when he announced his intention to bring back draft registra» tion. Smith, explaining the registration process, said, “All of you would be asked to go to the post office and give your name, address and birthdate." “It's important for you people to understand that you do have alternatives," Smith remarked. The three alternatives he outlined included complying with registration and the draft, resisting, and declaring con- scientious objection. Resisting the draft means risking a penalty of five years in prison or a $10,000 fine or both. Smith pointed out that Canada has announced that it will not welcome draft resisters as it did registration during the Vietnam War. Many people don’t know what conscientious objection means, accord- ing to Smith. In 1970, the Supreme Court defined it. The court extended CO status to “all those whose consciences, spurred by deeply held moral, ethical, or religious beliefs, would give them no rest or peace if they allowed them- selves to become a part of an instrument of war.“ “It‘s important to make up your mind soon," Smith said. “If you go the conscientious objector route, you will be required to defend your view. It's important to start talking about it to friends, writing letters to friends, family and government officials. You should be public about it; risk the hassles." John Twiton, an Augsburg junior who has been active in disarmament work, also spoke at the forum. He explained why it's important to act soon in documenting one's claim of conscientious objection. He described the registration process as reported by the National Continued on page 7 to be under Johnson’s supervision as well as development, his duties new center around development, the capital fund, and all fund raising for the college. When Johnson leaves in April, an acting director of development will be appointed to take over his duties until the new president appoints (with ap- proval by the Board of Regents) a vice president. The acting director will be either Sig Hjelmeland, Director of Deferred Giving; Jeroy Carlson, Director of Alumni Giving; or Mike Walgren, Director of the Annual Fund. Johnson expects that these and other members of his staff will remain at Augsburg after his departure. When Johnson came to Augsburg in 1961, he planned to stay here only one year as acting dean of students. He stayed on as dean, as well as teaching some philosophy courses, until 1970, when he was appointed to Vice Presi- dent for Development. Of his 19 years here, Johnson said “It's been a very unusual experience. Probably the most satisfying years were my years as dean, because of the close contact I had with the students." ‘On the other hand, he said that his ‘most interesting years” have been those with development and public relations, because of his interaction with corporate and foundation execu- tives in the area. He said that he is “very pleased with Augsburg‘s reputation in the corporate communi- ty,“ and added that most people don’t realize how good this reputation is, and don't appreciate its importance. In spite of gloomy predictions for small liberal arts colleges in general, Johnson is very optimistic about the future of Augsburg. He said, “I think Augsburg is here to stay." He believes that there are many advantages Augsburg has over other schools because of its metropolitan location, and that the school has to work hard to “take advantage of these opportun- ities." He added that "Augsburg is in a much sounder fiscal position than it has been for some time." Augsburg professors speak against tenure quota system By PENNY BECKER News Editor The complicated issues of faculty tenure and promotion were discussed Monday, Feb. 11 at a meeting of the Augsburg Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). Faculty tenure and promotion have been much discussed issues not only on Augsburg‘s campus, but nation- wide. As academic institutions face decreasing funds due to fewer college entrants, administrators are forced to either find more funds or to cut back programs and salaries. The institution of quota systems limiting the number of professors granted tenure or promotion has been a common solution to the present lack of funds. The AAUP and many Augsburg professors have expressed concern over this action, asserting that promotion and tenure have a non-monetary value. Professor Norma Noonan pointed out an important connection between faculty morale and the refusal of Augsburg to grant tenure or promotion to deserving instructors. According to Noonan, “Faculty morale is very important here" and Augsburg should “avoid tenure and promotion quotas" because they are “counter—pro— ductive." Several instructors present at the meeting voiced their agreement with her remark. The common thought was that it is difficult to be content in a job with little hope of moving up the academic ladder. A second problem grows out of the denial of promotion and tenure: re- employment. Having been employed by an institution for a number of years without receiving a promotion can be a drawback in the search for another job. This issue is important due to the likelihood that the decreases in student enrollment could force a lay—off of faculty. Noonan mentioned faculty morale as an important element in the enrollment decline. “Very likely we are going to lose some people, but we may be able to get more than our quota if we are innovative and creative. But we cannot do it if we are depressed." There is a question of the necessity of granting tenure to positions that are already threatened by financial exigency. “Why not give them first- class citizenship while the citizenship lasts?" said Noonan. Several institu- tions have used a pipeline process for shaky positions that have come up for tenure. Generally, this is a five»year contract that is neither tenured or non—tenured, according to Bev Nillson, professor of nursing and AAUP chair- person. Professor Catherine Nicholl supported this freezing of status over a release from the institution. Because the academic job market is so limited, Continued on page 7 ROALD SATEREN mlIlU' ’-" t‘ TEDD PETERSON 8550(13l99\7i'0' PENNY BECKER news EfllIO’ GARY KUBAT lealures editor TERRI BOCKLUND line arts editor LAURIE JESSEN sports so tor JEFF JARNES Dusmess manager BOYD KOEHLER 'a;. t» consu la"!
