Show moreI February 11, 2000 ﬁgFaith 85 CommUnity page 6 Unreported rape trend at the University of Minnesota Jamie Rumpza Contributing Writer There is a signiﬁcant discrepancy between the number of rapes reported to the University of Minnesota Rape and Domestic Violence Center. and the number of rapes reported to the University of Minnesota Police Department. Of the rapes reported to the Rape and Domestic Violence Center from 1995-1998, an average of 46 per year. only 12 (26%) were reported to the University Police Department. These numbers suggest that campus rape victims tend to report most often to the Rape and Domestic Violence Cen- ter rather than to the campus police. According to Roberta Gibbins, the Assistant Director of the Rape and Domestic Violence Center, unreported rapes are attributed to the fact that at least 80 percent of all rape vic- tims know their attackers; they have relationships with them. and they do not want to report them to the police. Gibbins says. “Rape and domestic violence have the same dynamics." She explains that most rape victims are afraid to report the assailant because they are afraid that the assailant will come after them again. Gibbins explains that another problem on campus is date rape. She explains that victims blame themselves for going back to guys” dorm rooms and. because they are ashamed, many victims do not report the rape. “Some girls call a week or so after they have been raped because they begin to have nightmares. I‘m sure that there are hundreds of girls out there who don‘t ever report to anyone." says Gibbins. Unreported rapes are not only a problem at the University of Minnesota. A 1987 study in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. which was conducted by Mary Koss. suggests that unreported campus rapes are a national problem. A sample of 3,187 college females participated in the national study. The study was a survey in which college women answered a set of questions that deﬁned varied lev- els of sexual assault. Researchers found that 46 percent of college females reported that they have had no experience with sexual assault of any kind, whereas 54 percent reported some form of sexual victimization. Koss explains that reports from the Federal Bureau of Investigation “greatly underestimate the true scope of rape because they are based only on instances reported to the police.“ The study found that there was a major discrep- ancy between rapes that actually occurred and rapes that were reported to the police. Koss found that only 5 percent of the rapes that victims reported during the survey were actually reported to the police. Similarly. “victim assistant services" are sought only 5 percent of the time whereas 27 percent of the victims acknowledged that they had been raped. The highest percentage of women were those who never reported to anyone (42%). The study suggests that rapes are underreponed not only at-the University of Min- nesota but in several colleges across the nation. The University of Minnesota has higher police reports when reports are compared to Koss’ national study. in which police reports total at only 5 percent. In 1995. 31 rapes were reported to the University Rape and Domestic Violence Center. and only 9 (29%) were reported to the University Police: in 1996. 49 rapes were reported to the Rape and Domestic Violence Center. and only 14 (29%) were reported to the University Police; in 1997. 67 rapes were reported to the Rape and Domestic Violence Center. and only 14 (21%) were reported to the University Police; mam—um 1995 rue 1.91 I” assailants were actually arrested per year. According to Jim Ramstad’s 1993 column in the I St. Paul Pioneer Press, “ninety—eight percent of all rape victims never see their attacker caught.” (Ramstad serves on the U. S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Criminal Justice.) The low arrest rate and the low prosecution rate may be attributed to the large numbers of unre- ported rapes. Ramstad estimates that unreported rapes in the United States may be as high as ' 12,000 per week. Obviously. unreported rapes cannot result in arrests, nor can they result in prosecution. “Rape is very difﬁcult to prosecute because rape is an intimate crime that usually occurs betvireen two people who know each other. The issue of consent becomes a problem,” explains Joanna ‘Franco, a Legal Advocate for the Hennepin Chan counesy of Jamie Rumpza County District Attomey’s Ofﬁce. Franco explains Reports to Rape and Domestic Violence Center vs. Reports to UotM police in 1998, there were 36 reports to the Rape and Domestic _ Violence Center. and only 10 (28%) were reported to the University Police. There is certainly a discrepancy between the number that is reported to the University Rape and Domestic Violence Center and the number that is reported to the police. The University Police department receives more reports than the national college campus police reports. However, Koss also found that only 5 percent of the rapes that actually occurred were reported to victim assistance centers. There is no way to know for certain how many rapes actually go unreported to the University Rape and Domestic Violence Center. According to Gib- bins, there is reason to suspect that there may that in 1997, 121 assailants were charged with sex- ual assault and 76 of these cases declined for various reasons. Only 12 of the 121 cases actually went to trial. “Most people do not understand that the prosecution attor-. ney must be able to prove that there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt before a trial can occur,” says Franco. She explains that she has seen victims who have had skin under their nails and tearing in their vaginal area, but the assailants claimed that it was consensual sex. There were no witnesses. It was simply his word against hers. Ramstad believes that harsher laws are the answer to this large problem. Ramstad was responsible for authorizing the Campus Sexual Assault Victims Act. This bill provides victim assistance centers on college campuses. “When I be hundreds of women out there who are not reporting to the University Rape and Domestic Violence Center. n ‘ Unreported rapes are a problem at the Univer— ,2 r L sity of Minnesota and a problem in colleges across the nation.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. Inside the museum. the hotel room where Martin Luther King. Jr. stayed on the night he was assassinated was on display. Just outside the hotel room. the song that was sung at Dr. King's funeral played. This was a very moving experience for many of the students. “In the book. the most powerful thing I read was when Martin Luther King [Jr] was assassinated and then to actually go to the place where he was killed and hear that music and almost relive it --‘ even though I did- n't know him as a person -— I got really emotional just being in that room." said sophomore Brandon Hofstedt. After our tour through the Lorraine Motel and National Civil Rights Museum. we ate lunch. stretched our legs once more. and piled back onto the bus for the six-hour drive to Birmingham.

Camp Snoopy‘s entertainment manager called Augsburg’s band director, Bob Stacke, when they were unhappy with their current band. Bob told them he could put together a band that would pro— vide a professional sound and atti- tude. In preparation for their February opening, the Cruisers practiced independantly throughout January on the self-arranged music. Brendan Anderson (Cool Cruiser) plays bass drum. Ben Duane (Cranky Cruiser) plays tuba. Trevor Johnson (Clumzy Cruiser) plays trumpet. Paul Rauker (Crazy Cruiser) plays the snare drum. and Sarah Seekins (Quirky Cruiser) plays the trombone.

'H Continuedfrom page I Blacks do not want to relate themselves to those images of cannibals and jungles, El-Kati stated, and as a result, many black Americans do not attempt to gain further knowledge about their history. Because of these stereotypes. many non—black Americans also do not attempt to gain further knowledge about black history. “History is sometimes nothing more or less than what you think happened,” quoted Mahmoud from Ivan Van Sertima. author of They Came Before Columbus. “If that‘s what you think, then that’s what happened." In other words, if we have misinformation about his- tory. then that misinformation replaces the truth unless people raise awareness about the actual events. El-Kati pointed out that blacks and Jewish people have many similar experiences in their history in regard to their struggles. However. the main differ- ence between the two ethnic groups is that there is a great lack of awareness about the history of black people, while Jewish history is more widely known. "The Jewish history may not be honored. but it is known.” said Mahmoud. “That's why we have the holocaust museum. Their suffering is a part of world history. On the other hand, black history has been blasphemed, blackened. and put down." To combat this lack of knowledge of black history, Carter G. Woodson designated a week in February in 1926 that he called Negro History Week. which later became African History Month. “We‘re here to dig up the past so we can reshape it." Eviati said. He stressed that people need to learn about black past so that they have a more truthful understanding of it and are not ashamed to relate themselves to it. Mahmoud also stressed the point that “you can’t be human without history." “If you don‘t have a history, it’s easy for people to kill you.“ To'illustrate this point, Mahmoud referred to the way that early American colonists called Native Ameri— cans “savages,” which dehumanized these indige- nous people and denied them their history and culture. “If they’re not akin to you, they’re not human." said EI-Kati. Therefore, El-Kati expressed. people need to discard the notion of race and look at people as individuals. “White. yellow. red. black: they‘re all words for which there is no corresponding reality.” said Mah- moud. “Skin color doesn‘t think. Let‘s get away from that." Emphasizing his belief that all people should learn more about black history. El-Kati stated. “Lets try to understand something about the enslaved people of African descent. Find out about these great people — about the Frederick Douglasses and the Harriet Tubmans. Learn about black martyrs. Learn about how the black people fought in every theater of war that’s ever been fought in this country. Learn about the rich cultural traits that Africans have given to w- you. “And start reading about black people other than what you get in textbooks and in the six o’clock and ten o‘clock news." Mahmoud declared. Got ideas? Don’t like to write? We’ll take your ideas and turn them into news headlines!

In this article I will go through each day of our trip, explaining the places that were visited and the signiﬁcance of that visit. This January a special course was taught by Professor Garry Hesser and Reverend Joe Young that was entitled, “A Civil Rights Immersion: Experiencing History." In this course, my fellow students and I viewed ﬁlms about the civil rights movement and did intensive studying for two weeks. Following this, we embarked on a bus tour through the Deep South to visit the places where major civil rights events took place and to talk with people who played a role in the civil rights movement. One of the main goals of the class was to gain an under- standing of the history and importance of the civil rights Photo courtesy of Laura Weldon/ECHO Little Rock Central High, the school that was a battle ground for civil rights in 1957 when it was integrated by nine black students. movement in the United States and the impact that it had on our society. Another goal of the class was to learn about the different participants and groups who shaped and re-shaped our history, culture, and society. However, our learning was not meant to be restricted to the 1960’s, when most of the civil rights events occurred; it was also intended for us to learn from one another and have experiences that would lead to active involvement in diver- sity within our communities. Day One Our trip ofﬁcially began at 1:00 pm. on Monday, Ianuary 17. when our entire class attended the holiday convocation for Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, lr.. entitled “Martin and the New Millennium." This special convocation, led by freshman Sophia Thompson and junior Richard Faces Students learn civil rights first-hand ‘ ta» r“ “Woody” Woods. was organized by the Pan— Afrikan Student Union. The Excelsior Choral Ensemble and a few Augsburg soloists per- formed for the ceremony. and several students read excerpts from Dr. King's writings. Rev-‘ erend Rufus Campbell gave the keynote address for the convocation. After the Dr. King celebration, our class of 23 students departed from Augsburg College for the Deep South under the guidance of Professor Hesser and Reverend Young. Dan Benson. Augsburg‘s News Service/Media Relations Director, accompanied us on our trip and sent back photos each day to post on Augsburg's website. which can be viewed at http://www.augsburg.edu/civilrights/index.html. ‘ J“. ‘1 Photo courtesy of Laura Wa'dm 5qu The Civil Rights Immersion class, from left to right: Garry Hesser.

Nicole Ziegler, Julie Peterson, Sravanthi Dakoji, Sophia Thompson, After driving all through the night (and getting very little sleep), we arrived Tuesday morning in Little Rock, Arkansas. Here. in September 1957. Little Rock’s Central High School became a bat— tleﬁeld for civil rights as nine black students attempted to enter the all-white high school. The Little Rock Nine (as they have been nicknamed) were barred from entering the school by the Arkansas National Guard and could not attend Central High until three weeks later. when President Eisenhower sent in federal troops to protect the black students. White. While we were at the Central High Museum in Little Rock. we had the privilege of meeting Elizabeth Eckford. one of the Little Rock Nine. With difficulty. Ms. Eckford spoke about the challenges that she and the other black students faced during their year at Central High. “We didn’t have any friends in school at all the whole year,” Ms. Eckford said. “But there were ten people who we considered very brave. They talked to us like we were . real people and like they did to the other students.” On a regular basis. the Little Rock Nine were pushed down stairs, verbally harassed, shoved into lockers. - and had food dumped on them by white students. When asked why she endured such continual pain/harassment just to go to school. Ms. Eckford replied, “I knew that change could only come through sacriﬁce." Our talk with Ms. Eckford was very moving. and sev— eral students commented that our visit with her impacted them more than any other part of our trip. “Through talking with Elizabeth Eckford.

Within this illusion, the Augsburg College Theatre Arts Program performed William Shakespeare‘s play. A Midsummer Night‘s Dream. directed by Martha Johnson. Heidi Bakke twisted and glided across the stage. bringing Puck to life. A high cackle and tilt of her head had the audience enthralled. Puck‘s elusive nature was enhanced with a body costume of shades of green and glitter. Andy Berstram and Dave Thompson also deserve mention for illustrious performances of Nick Bottom and Peter Quince. The blundering and comedy of the actors of the interlude had the audience laughing. The song and movement of the fairies brought the audience into the illu- sion of a dream. The costumes created a sense of fantasy. They wore pastel body suits covered by netting intenwined with ﬂowers and sheer wings of iridescent fabric. The chase and argument between the lovers captured the havoc that Puck had unleashed on them. Everyone involved with this play deserves a round of applause. Performances are scheduled for February 11 and 12 at 7:00 pm. and February 13 at 2:00 pm.

Andy Berstrom, Heidi Bakke. Ben- Sulzbach, Nathan Erickson Read the book or go see the movie Allison Heimkes News Editor To read this fabulous book ﬁrst and then see the movie. or not to read the book ﬁrst? That is the question. Frank McCourt‘s memoir. Angela‘s Ashes. was published in 1996. The movie with the same title recently opened. and received favorable reviews from critics and McCourt himself. Both the book and the mm ie can ture the essence of the slums in Ireland during McCotirt‘s life. The hackneyed theme of coming of age does not seem trite in this story. The young lrish boy's story handles subjects that are usually thought to be too sen» sitive, like poverty. hunger. and consumption. The movie takes some scenes from the hook and has the dia- logue almost verbatim. The book and the movie are bleak and dismal. with constant rain and filth. Both versions of the slot} are from Frankie’s point of view. The book may appear to be less depressing because of the young child‘s \icw Frankie describes the hunger and the slums as fact. He sees other people‘s lives, but he does not persona“) know another way of living. The movie continues to have Frankie‘s voice narrate the story. but the directors take the adult view — and it is dismal. The move almost appears to be in black and white. despite its color. because so much of the movie is dark and wet in the Irish slums. Directors did an excellent job casting the three boys who play Frank McCourt. The transition between boys is believable and makes it easy for the viewer to adjust. In fact. McCourt says that when he thinks back on his life now he pictures the movie. The move is an interesting and accurate depiction of the book. However. the 500-page book is more engaging and rich than the two-and—a-half hour movie. The scenes not in the movie were not essential for the progres» sion of the story. but they add to the character. and make seeing Frank McCourt as the successful adult on Rosie O'Donnell unbelievable. So. read the book and then see the movie. The film might be a bit slow becaUse it will he like watching a movie twice in one day. but it adds to the imagination.

Several arrests were made at the scene, ’and there are three or four more arrests expected. The Cafe was shut down as a result of the raid. The health department was called in after the raid and closed the building for repairs. Acéording to witnesses on the scene, the police burst into the building. The police told the employees that they had a search warrant. The police then pro— ceeded to shut down the restau- rant. Martin Johnson, Jr., a member of the Hard Times Cafe employee- owned co—operative, was arrested. He is being charged with an attempted sale of a small amount of marijuana. A patron of the cafe was also arrested and is being charged with possession of crack cocaine. Afrikana History Because of his arrest, Marty John- son has voluntarily resigned from the co—operative, and his employ- ment at the Cafe has been tenni- nated. The Hard Times Cafe has been operating on Riverside Avenue since November, 1992. It has developed a reputation as a safe refuge for the community sur— rounding it. It has also developed a reputation for serving great vegetarian food. For several years, the North Country Co-op has been featuring items from the Cafe in their deli. The Hard Times Cafe has also served as a model for alternative businesses. The Cafe is owned and operated by employees who have passed a probationary period of six months. A management commit— tee made up of four peer-elected employees governs the Cafe. There are also working commit- tees that are appointed to carry out assigned duties. The Hard Times Cafe has occa— sionally been the site of trouble. On January 15 of this year. the Cafe was the target of a drive—by shooting. Five shots were ﬁred into the building. missing the 40 patrons and employees inside. No one was injured in that incident. Members of the Hard Times Cafe co-operative do not believe that the Hard Times Cafe is the cause of the trouble. They state that the trouble takes place around the Cafe. The Cafe ’has stated that they would like to develop a stronger working relationship with the police. The employee owned co-opera— tive was informed that nuisance charges were being ﬁled to the Minneapolis City Council. They were led to believe that they had to appear before the City Council before they could re-open the Cafe. The North Country Co-op hosted a meeting of Hard Times Cafe employee/owners at their facility Hard Times on January 28. The meeting was used to map out a strategy for the Cafe after the raid and subsequent arrests. The group of about 15 people made plans to have the Cafe open as quickly as possible after the health inspection issues and nuisance charges are resolved. Qadi‘ Mahmoud El—Kati addresses the importance of black history Photo courtesy of Joe Young Qudi Mahmoud El-Kati, history lecturer at Macalester College. Laura Waldon §taﬁ Writer 7 7 On Tuesday, February 1, Qadi Mahmoud El—Kati began the events of Afrikana History month by addressing Augsburg students about the importance of knowing black history. Mahmoud was one of the primary speakers at Augsburg‘s “One Day in May" in 1968, from which the Black Student Union formed. It was later named the Pan-Afrikan Student Union. Mahmoud also started the African American stud- ies program at the University of Minnesota. “Black people don’t have a sense 'News Briefs: The Nation, The World Northern Ireland set to return to direct British rule weights Cyber-attacks batter web heavy A series of cyber—attacks Tuesday left some of the Web's most high—proﬁle sites staggering under the weight of tens of thousands of bogus messages.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, which followed a similar strike on the portal Yahoo! on Monday.

El—Kati stated in his address. To explain this point, El—Kati gave the example that most white Americans can point to their cul- tural heritage and identify what European country they came from — like Germany. Norway. or [re- land. However. African Ameri- cans cannot point to the country in Africa where their ancestors came from. Mahmoud asserted that as far as most African-Americans think. their history spans 300 years —— Photos courtesy of Russell Hcrslead Assistant Hennipen County Attor— ney Andy LeFevour. however, has infomed the Hard Times Cafe that there are no nuisance charges pending against the Cafe. The employees are repairing damage and repainting in anticipation of resuming business soon. Month is honored the amount of time they have been in North America. “Blacks have been twisted about their history" Mahmoud also stated. “They have been told sto— ries about cannibuls and eating each other for breakfast." El—Kati also made reference to the American myth that black people are fast because they had to run from lions in theirjungles. “Ain‘t no lions in Africa!"

The new editors Co—Editors in Chief As new editors of the Echo. we have a unique opportunity to make accountability, responsibil- ity and ethics a part of this student publication - a press that is free from the influence of corporate publishers, advertisers. and politi- cal agendas. We consider it our responsibility to assume the role of the eyes and ears of the student population, and to report on events that shape our students‘ experiences, In assum- ing this role, we are bound to make editorial decisions that will make some unhappy. With the rich variety and diversity that exists on an urban college campus like Augsburg. this cannot be avoided. What we can do, how- ever, is to promote an active and engaged readership, one in which our readers feel both responsible and comfortable in providing our staff feedback on our news process. At the recent Minnesota News Association conference. guest speaker Gary Gilson, Exec- utive Director of the Minnesota News Council emphasized that the way to gain trust from the public is to encourage open and honest news reporting. The best way to accomplish this is for the process to be two-sided. We report, you provide feedback, and we respond. We would like to emulate the Minnesota News Council‘s mis- sion “to promote fair, vigorous and trusted journalism by engag- ing the public and the news media in discussions in standards of fair- ness.” We are adapting this mis- sion for Augsburg’s need to encourage fair and open dis- course. Because we are a student run and student governed publication, we are bound to make mistakes along the way. However. by adhering to the mission to provide ethical and open journalism. we will remain accountable for our mistakes and ask the campus, its faculty and administration to engage in our learning process. As a student publication we have an incredible opportunity to explore journalism in its purest and truest sense. Our goal is to live, publish and depend on the First Amendment’s proclamation for freedom of speech and of the press. It is apt that a plaque out- side the Hoversten Chapel declares “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32).” It seems that this universal truth does not belong to journalism alone, but to our carn- pus community and the world at large. Fascists in power? Staff Editorial The Daily Athenaeum (West Virginia U.) 02/09/2000 (U- WIRE) MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — If those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, there might be some serious trou- ble in Austria. Tuesday, Austrian President Thomas Klestil swore in the newly-elected government. as is the custom following the results of the general election. The prob— lem? The election was won by a group that includes the right—wing Freedom Party. The Freedom Party, led by Joerg Haider, is not your usual right- wing group. By most accounts, they are strongly anti—immigrant. are not particularly fond of human rights and are often referred to as fascists and Nazis and with good reason. Haider, currently the governor of the Carinthia province. has denounced the Austrians' mem- bership in the European Union and bashed non-Austrians, while at the same time praising the philosophies of Adolf Hitler and referring to former SS officers as “decent people of good charac- ter.” After forming an alliance with Austria’s People’s Party, the coali- tion took advantage of the peo- ple’s dislike for the Social Democrat Party that has been rul- ing Austria for the last three decades and captured 104 of 183 seats in the Austrian Parliament, giving them majority control over most government decisions. President Klestil felt that he had no choice but to swear them into ofﬁce, though he turned down two of their cabinet appointments and refuses to allow Haider to gain any active control of their national government. Meanwhile. Austria has already been hit with a “diplomatic quar- antine" by the rest of the EU, freezing all bilateral relations with them and minimizing the power of Austrian ambassadors all over Europe. Until the situation changes and these men are removed from power, EU Presi— dent Antonio Guterres said, we shall maintain this stance.” The fact that the Austrian people would even elect these men to their positions is a telling sign that there are problems in Europe. The problems are not conﬁned to Aus- tria either. Germany is reportedly very upset over the Freedom Party’s rise to power, fearing that their own weakened government might also fall prey to a Heider-type individ- ual who would capitalize on peo- ple's feelings for immigrants and dislike of the European Union. Fortunately, the rest of the world is noticing this time and is responding accordingly. It still remains to be seen, though, if these sanctions will cause Austri- ans to turn on their new govem- ment or embrace it more heartily. If they do choose to keep the Freedom Party in power, some- thing will need to be done in order to remedy the situation quickly. Leaving these men in power is tantamount to permitting the spread of fascism across an entire nation, and the result of allowing that kind of political ideology to fester and grow is all too well known for the world to stand by and let it happen.

Brad Motl Staff, Milan Most people will agree with me that the Marriott food is not the greatest. After a while, everything begins to taste the same — except the apple pie. The apple pie is the one standout exception to this rule. What makes the apple pie so delicious is easy. For starters, the crust is, done just right. It is nei- ther too crispy and overdone, nor too doughy and underdone. This is a major feature to the pie. The ﬂaky crust captures the eater into eating the whole thing and getting another piece. The second reason the apple pie is so good is the ﬁlling. The apple ' pie ﬁlling used in the pie is just the right texture and taste. It blends a good combination of actual apple pieces and ﬁlling. The filling is not too tart or too sweet, which appeals to a wide range of eaters. The third reason the apple pie is so good is the sugar sprinkled on the top of the pie. This added sugar, though rarely thought about or noticed, adds tremendous ﬂa- vor to the pie. The sugar creates an extra sweetness that is other- wise nonexistent. The best part about the extra sugar is that it blends with the crust and the pie ﬁlling, which creates coherence in the pie. The secret behind the apple pie is no secret. Baker, Kristine Hansen, says that what is behind this deli- cious apple pie is actual Karps frozen pie. Kristine, herself, said, “I never have tried the apple pie." However, she is quick to point out that the apple pie is their most eaten pie, and it is always gone the day it is made. At the next dinner you eat at Augsburg I strongly suggest you check out the apple pie and give it a try.

Auggies blow the Scots away Melissa Mattson Contributing Writer 7 Why did the chicken cross the basketball court? Because it heard the referee was blowing fouls. The men‘s basketball team earned another triumphant win at home last Wednesday, February 9, against the Macalester Scots. 86- 75. Kevin Van Rossum and Jason Beckendorf lit up the scoreboard, receiving 15 points apiece in the ﬁrst half. They both ended the game with high scores of19. Travis Hintze, Kyle Cubel, and Nate Hoerr should be applauded . for their hardcore defense. They were strong and consistent throughout the game. The most impressive part of the game, besides Reed's stunning SLAM DUNK in the ﬁrst half. was that ALL players had a chance to play. The Junior Varsity team put on quite a show in the second half! Macalester must .have been worried, especially when they saw that our Junior Varsity team could keep up with their Varsity team! Joe Pomares came off the bench and netted ﬁve points within seven minutes in the second half. The Auggies played a rough second half: technical fouls were given, rebounds were hard to come by, and turnovers were a problem. Head Coach Brian Ammann said that after having such a lead in the ﬁrst half (SI-29), the team became too comfortable and relaxed. He added that the team needed that game. however, to prepare for their big contest against St. John’s on the February 12. Congratulations. Auggies, and good luck on your big game!

Dr. Kimball is the Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of History here at Augsburg College. He has been at Augsburg since 1991. Dr. Kimball received his BA. from McGill University, his MA. from the University of Chicago. and his PhD. also from the Uni- versity of Chicago. During his interview, Dr. Kimball also stressed the impor- tance of open communication on campus. One of the problems he noted with open communication is that often, students feel too much of a "power differential" between students and the admin— istration to address issues that concern them. To combat this, Dr. Kimball suggested having regular informal lunches or meeting times between students and the Dean. “One of the other cultural changes I'd like to see is more frank disagreement," said Dr. Kimball. In his interview, Dr. Kimball also expressed concern about the mission of the College. “Having been here nearly ten years, one thing that concerns me is a lack of sense of what we‘re about," said Dr. Kimball. “It‘d be nice if we had a stronger sense of our mission and a pride in our nussron. Students asked Dr. Kimball how he, as Dean, would address Augsburg’s wide range of acade— mic programs. “I’m not inter— ested in coming in and cutting and slashing things," said Dr. Kimball. “I‘m more interested in letting things heal.“ Students also asked Dr. Kim- ball how he viewed the Day and WEC programs. “Weekend Col— lege has been a great success," said Dr. Kimball. “But we may have tried to force too much inte— gration of the two.” CLASSIFIEDS MAZATLAN-WHOLESALE TO THE STUDENTS, 24 years of wholesale trips to Mexico.

Dr. Kimball also noted that he wants to make sure that Augsburg students are receiving a high» grade education. “If you walk away saying. ‘I didn't get what I paid for,‘ the College is fundamentally done for." said Dr. Kimball. “We have a duty to make sure that if you want to go to grad school, you have everything you need to com- pete.“ ' The last two student—dean interviews will take place on Feb- ruary 23 and 29.

The concert is a part of the Annual Minnesota Music Educators Asso— ciation Mid-Winter Clinic, which will run today (Friday, February 18) and tomorrow at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The Band will rehearse Wednesday through Friday under the direc— tion of Col. John Bourgeois, and will perform Saturday, February 19 at 9:20 am.

To be continued in Issue 13. Tom Morgan Continued from page 3 the professional development aspect of his new posi— tion. “I really like working in a collaborative envi- ronment." said Morgan. He enjoys the prospect of the president‘s ofﬁce promoting his efforts to forge ties between faculty and staff. Professional Development co—director Frankie Shackelford emphasized the importance of this initia- tive when she told the Echo, “What we do and what the president wants are closely related.“ She is pleased with Morgan’s appointment and is not wor- ried about him crossing over into administrative terri— tory. “Most of us are one or the other — faculty or staff — but Tom is truly both.“ She feels he is someone who can both acknowl- edge the different perspectives of faculty and staff and assume both roles without compromising the integrity of either position. “This marriage of faculty and staff — we think it can really work.” And Morgan is more than willing to do what it takes to keep perspective. “I want to hang on to teaching at least one class," said Morgan. He feels that will help him stay in touch with the important issues involved with teaching. But his motives aren’t entirely about keeping perspective. “I love teaching, and I want to keep hold of it as long as possible." When asked if he saw this new position as a career path, Morgan said that, rather, it was an oppor- tunity that came up when the time was right. “I’ll stay with it as long as I can make a contribution. But who knows? I may be back to teaching in a couple of years." He certainly has the history of donning new hats at Augsburg and working for making program changes to beneﬁt the greater good. “There has been no shortage of opportunity," said Morgan of Augs~ burg. He feels that is one of the beneﬁts of working for a small liberal arts community. ‘ His new role in the president’s ofﬁce will affect his current role as professor and Co-directdr of Pro- fessional Development only to the degree that some of his responsibilities and his workload may shift to accommodate his new. duties. Next year he will go down to teaching one course. He will continue as Co-director of Professional Development because of its close ties to the Augsburg 2004 vision statement. However, Morgan has resigned from some of his responsibilities. “1 do know the dangers of over- extending oneself,” said Morgan, “but we are work- ing for ways.to manage my current duties as we design my new position." Jeff Stafford, Director of Student Activities will assume Morgan’s position as Co—director of Augsburg Seminar. Morgan’s great ability to adapt and change seems well suited for the new position, and his colleagues apparently agree. “The vitality of the campus depends on us learning to do things in new ways,“ said Shackelford. President Frame expressed his optimism about Morgan‘s new role, adding, “I feel terriﬁcally lucky that he's willing to take up this assignment.” When: 11—March 16 Cbntaet: Cathy Peters (612) 330-1524 11, 6-9 pm. ‘ When: Feb. 11-March 16 Contact: Cathy Peters, (612) 330-1524 Augsburg College Art Events , v 7 What: “Intention and Interpretation?

The forum will honor the work of David Hume and John Trimble, 1998 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, as it focuses attention on the motivations for peace and the painstaking process of reconciliation. This Peace Prize Forum considers the issue of wars within borders by looking at the rootsof ethnic and partisan hostility and by asking how people can reconcile with ene- mies close to home. It explores issues of religion and peace, especially the risks that religious belief calls us to assume. It also examines strategies for peace, both personal and political, that provide all of us an arena for action. For information, visit .'I'he forum creates an opportunity for Nobel Peace Prize laure— ates, diplomats, scholars, students, and the general public to take part in a dialogue on the underlying causes and mani— festations of conﬂict and war in modern society, and on the dynamics of peacemaking.

Sunday, February 27 at Sandburg Middle School, 2400 Sandburg Lane Golden Valley. Admission is free.” echo@augsburg.edu Trena Bolden antritzuting Writetn Jason Britton, as reported in a March 1999 Business Week article, “A Hard Lesson On Credit Cards,” owes $21,000 on 16 different credit cards. The article quoted him saying, “When I ﬁrst started, my attitude was: I‘ll get,a job after college to pay off all my debt.” Soon he realized that he could not even pay the minimum monthly pay- ments. The article concluded his story by stating that he works three part-time jobs now to pay off his debt. Blain Rushing, a 23-year-old former student who owed a little over $8,000 in credit card bills, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune, stated in that publication that at ﬁrst he would put his school books on the credit card. Then, he started to charge after school events, rollerblades, treating friends to dinner, a surprise trip to New York for a friend’s birthday, and a down payment on an Isuzu Trooper. He is not the only one. According to a September 21, 1999 article in the Star- Tribune, students charge items such as tattoos, body pierc— ings, birth control, hotel rooms, concert tickets, ﬂights to see boyfriends and girlfriends, and e-trades for their dorms, and use cash advances for gambling. According to a 1998 survey of 750 students done by the Institute for Higher Education Policy, 77 percent of college students use credit cards for routine personal expenses and 67 percent of students use their credit cards for occassional or emergency expenses. . You may wonder how these college students get into debt. First, let’s take a look at how the college students sur- veyed obtained credit cards. According to the 1998 PIRG survey of 1,260 students, 69 percent of college students surveyed say they obtained their cards from their parents, while 31 percent say they obtained their cards on their own. p According to the Institute for Higher Education Survey, 17 percent of the students surveyed said they obtained their ﬁrst cards from their parents and 63 percent. of students sur- veyed said they obtained their credit cards on their own. Some credit card companies offer “teaser” rates of 5-7 per- cent and then quickly increase the rates to as high as 20 per- cent, according to a September 1999 article in the Star-Tribune. An article on the bankrate web page stated that students have to be cautious about those low rates that last only six months. This article also stated that if a payment is late the rate is often increase to 20 percent or more, even if it is dur— ing the low-rate time period. According to an article about credit card debt in The Chronicle of Higher Education, June 18, 1999, college stu- dents get credit cards and then learn later the damage of having a credit card. If students do not pay more than the minimum balance, their credit card bills will usually remain the same or increase because of APR rates. Let‘s take a look at some APR rates that were published by bankratecom. According Business Week, students are unaware of the rates on the cash advances from ATMs and the cash advance fee that is added to the cash advance rate Augsburg seeks new Dean Students are asked to take part in the process Laura Waldon Staff Writer Augsburg is currently in the process of interviewing four candidates for the position of Vice President of Acade- mic and Learning Services, Dean of the College. The Dean of the College oversees the planning and development of the academic program and student ser- vices, administers the Student Affairs Program, supervises and leads faculty and staff, manages resources, provides organizational leadership, and represents the college to internal and external leadership. In an effort to involve Augsburg students in the process of selecting a new dean, students have been able to attend question and answer sessions with the candidates. So far, two of these student-dean interviews have taken place. The ﬁrst student-dean interview occurred on February 9 with Dr. Edith Waldstein. Dr. Waldstein is the Associate Vice President for Acade- mic Affairs, Associate Dean of the Faculty, and Associate Professor of Humanities at Wartburg College in Waverly. Iowa. Dr. Waldstein received her B.A. from Wanbur‘g Col- lege, her M.A. from Washington University in St. Louis, and her PhD. also from Washington University in St. Louis. During her interview, Dr. Waldstein stressed the impor- tance of open communication throughout the campus. “I try to facilitate communication as best as I can between the administration and the students [at Wartburg],” said Dr. Waldstein. “I think at Augsburg there should deﬁnitely be some mechanisms that facilitate communication between students and administration." To enable open communication, Dr. Waldstein sug- gested “building in regular meeting times to see where stu- dents are." Students at the meeting asked Dr. Waldstein how she thought Augsburg could balance out focused academic pro- grams, like the Honors program, the C.L.A.S.S. ofﬁce, and the Step-Up program. -' “I think it’s important not to be everything to all peo— ple,” said Dr. Waldstein. “But I would be reluctant to talk about getting rid of those [programs] . . . I do think that if it is your mission to have a diverse student population, you have to have those programs." Students also asked Dr. Waldstein what she thought about Augsburg’s Day and Weekend College programs. “My sense right now is that from the outside, both are very much a part of the identity of Augsburg," said Dr. Waldstein. “but as far as the student body is concerned, there‘s not much integration. I think that’s an untapped see “New Dean” pg 7 Students and Credit Card Debt when students withdraw money from ATMs. According to the Kansas City Star article, students can get behind in their payments by working a part-time job and making small amounts of money. Once they get behind- in their payments they can accumulate bad credit. The Jason Britton story that was reported in the March, 1999 Business Week article is an example of how challenging it is to pay off high credit card bills; Britton owes 321,000 on 16 different credit cards and works three part-time jobs to pay off his debt. . Of the college students surveyed in the PIRG survey, 16 percent say they pay the minimum amount, while 38% say they pay the balance in full. In comparing this data to the Institute for Higher Education survey, 59 percent of their survey respondents say they pay in full while 8 percent say they pay the minimum amount. ' I did some extra research and found an article from stu- dent advantagecom (“Not All College Students Are in Debt”) that stated that most undergraduate students are dealing pretty well with debt and paying their bills on time. This article used statistics reported in the Institute for Higher Education survey and said more than half of the stu— dents with credit card balances of more than $1,000 reported paying off their credit card bills each month. The article from student advantagecom also reported that 93 percent of nontraditional graduate students ages 26-57 have credit cards with an average credit card debt of $5,959. Ninety-ﬁve percent of graduate students surveyed had an average credit card debt of $4,925, while 94 percent of undergraduate students ages 18-25 have an average debt of $1,879. The Institute for Higher Education Policy did do a credit debt breakdown for traditional, nontraditional and graduate students. This is what they found: 36 percent of graduate students have a carryover balance over $1,000, while 60 percent of nontraditional college students and 34 percent of traditional students have a Carry-over balance OVer $1,000. What can college students do about credit card debt? According to the article written by Lucy Lazarony (College students: prepare for credit card deluge), students can watch those rates, use their card well, and keep their bal- ances down. . What can college campuses do to help with student credit card debt? The Kansas City article gave examples of what some colleges do now. The University of Kansas, for example, limits the number of days per semester that a 'credit card company can be on campus. Dr. Robert Man- ning of Georgetown University, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education, encourages colleges to refuse to let credit card companies solicit on campus. Students in debt should and need to learn how to limit purchases and pay the maximum amount of money they can on their credit card bills to keep the APR rates low. Once this is taken care of, those students in debt will be able to come out of debt sooner and probably live a more enjoyable life. é’Is there arcane serious?

He is a tall, wiry, mustached man, ever busy, with a stack of papers and books tucked under one arm, his coffee mug — a permanent extension of his right arm - always in hand. Torn Morgan has been a signif- icant ﬁxture on the Augsburg campus for 18 years, serving in many roles along the way. He started out and has contin- ued as a Business/M13 professor. He was one of the chief designers of the Master of Arts in Leadership (MAL) pro- gram. For the last two years, he has co-directed'Profes— sional Development and the Augsburg Seminar with Nordic studies Professor Frankie Shackclford. His latest assign- ment — assistant to the president, in the wake of Lynne Way’s resignation. Tom Morgan charts new Photo courtesy Brenda Anderson/ECHO Has Tom gone on to the other side? Has he turned from faculty to administrator? ls he quitting his role as instructor? Is he tak- ing over Lynne’s duties, or are THEY (the infamous administration) taking this oppor— tunity to create another VP position? The answer from Morgan, Shackelford, and President Frame is a resounding no to the above questions and concerns. All three see this as an exciting opportunity to chart new territory at the college. Tom Morgan's new role as Assistant to the Pres— ident will help provide the means for Augs- burg to carry out its strategic plan and vision statement, Augsburg 2004. The new position will have several equally critical and interdependent components involving planning, enhancement of work culture, and continued duties in the realm of profes— sional development. Since the beginning of his presidency in the fall of 1997. Frame took notice of Mor- gan‘s involvement in several campus pro— jects. The two were in contact on a number of occasions, including the Frame of Mind series, an initiative 'of the president to encourage open discourse between faculty and staff about issues that are critical to the college. When Lynn Way recently resigned to devote more of her personal time to her family, Frame saw an opportunity to bring Morgan into the president’s ofﬁce and expand his role on the campus. But this was no incident of Morgan being rewarded as “the favorite son." Rather, Morgan proved to be the best candidate for the job based on his track record at the college and his educational background in systemic development. Strategic planning is an important component to Mor- gan's new position and is closely tied to his educational background in Business/M13. It proved to be one of the deciding factors for his accepting the position. “I haven’t really seen myself interested in administration, but it‘s exciting to be able to look at the world from a systems per- spective.” The new position will more closely incorporate the skills he obtained while getting his Ph.D. territory in President’s office Frame feels that having Morgan in his office to oversee planning is critical to the college‘s \ision for the future. “Our future rides on the vision entitled Augsburg 2004. This year we are just starting to execute plans from that vision statement." So this was a critical time for the college to ﬁnd someone to help oversee and coordinate the plan- ning of that initiative. As part of his dedication to the Capital Campaign (to help raise long-term revenue for the college). Frame will be on the road and off—campus quite a bit. He needs someone to step in on his behalf and make sure that the planning process is running along as scheduled. “He is my voice in certain places and respects, but he is also his own voice is other places and respects,“ Frame explained. In this respect, it was Tom's role in Professional Development that also captured Frame's initial attention. From the start, President Frame quickly saw that Mor— gan was a valuable asset to the campus through his ilClHt.‘ role as faculty advocate and through the programs he eo— directed and also helped to restructure. "Ever since I came to the college, I‘ve seen Tom in interesting roles that take advantage of his membership in the faculty but exploit his management of critical projects like Professional Develop- ment," said Frame. Professional Development was previously known as Faculty Development. When Morgan and Shackelford took over as co-directors, they saw the importance of promoting professional development among the staff as well as the faculty. They changed the structure and mission of the department to include staff, not only in terms of develop- ment, but to include staff in faculty-student collaborations. This change clearly mirrors part six of “Providing an Augsburg Education" in the Augsburg 2004 vision state— ment, which emphasizes the need to “increase the collabo— ration between faculty and staff in their joint enterprise to educate ‘the whole student’." Frame identified this as one reason he picked Morgan. Part of Morgan‘s responsibilities as Assistant to the President will be to oversee and help carry out programs that enhance and develop work culture. “That's up his street. That‘s Professional Develop. ment," said Frame, "and it makes sense that that‘s managed close to this ofﬁce."

In this article I will go through each day of our trip, explaining the places that were visited and the signiﬁcance of those visits. Day Four Continuing our educational journey through the civil rights movement, on Thursday, January 20, our class of 23 students explored Birmingham’s Civil Rights Institute. In the Institute, we wandered at our own pace through shock- ing images of the horrors of racism. As we entered the exhibits, we were greeted by two water fountains that were mounted on the wall: one labeled “White” and the other labeled “Colored.” This display was a painful reminder of the daily degradation that black Photo courtesy of Laura Waldon Statue commemorating the people who fell victim to the violence in Birmingham. Pictured: Joe Young, Kerie Teske, Fatowmate Diagne, Dayle Vendor Least, Laura Waldon, and Brook Lynne Mayne. Americans faced as they were treated as second—class citi— lens and given second—class facilities. In the Institute also hung disturbing advertisements for products like “Darkie Toothpaste" along with household goods that depicted blacks waiting upon whites just as they did during slavery. An example of this recurring image is the black “mammy” (like Aunt Jemima) who is always smiling and standing attentively in her glad-to-serve—you pose. After our tour through the Institute. we crossed the street and entered the 16th St. Baptist Church. the site where a bomb exploded in 1963 and killed four girls who were between the ages 11 and 14. The four girls, Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley, were buried by rubble from the explosion as they were changing into their choir robes. It ‘was not until 1977 that Robert Chambliss, a former Ku Klux Klan member, was convicted of murder in the 1963 bombing. . In the park that faces the 16th St. Baptist Church, sev— eral statues give tribute to all of the children who fought for civil rights and were injured, killed, or imprisoned in the process. Among these statues are images of children being attacked by dogs with snarling teeth and restrained by angry police officers. After our visit to Birmingham (which once carried the nickname “Bombingham” because of all the bomb attacks that took place there), we boarded the bus again and drove on to Montgomery. Day Five On Friday morning, our group was ushered by security officers into Montgomery’s Southern Poverty Law Center. The Center is incharge of tracking hate groups, like Neo— Nazis and the KKK, and giving information about these groups to police and to the government. The Center also has members of its staff inﬁltrate hate groups—disguised as members—in order to follow their activities. The information that they ﬁnd helps to prevent danger- ous attacks and to prosecute hate groups for any crimes that they commit. Security around the Center was very tight because it has been threatened and bombed by the groups that it has tracked. Photo courtesy oi L,.1tiid\/‘il.ritliti. Students pose for a picture on the steps of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. A 1963 bombing of this church killed four girls -- Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Car- ole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley. While we were in the Center, our tour guide (a worker who stopped what she was doing to give us her time and information) showed us a map that pinpointed the known U.S. hate groups. I had been under the impression that hate groups were primarily a thing of the past and that their numbers had mostly died out after the civil rights movement. However, I was shocked to find out that nearly 3800 hate groups con- tinue to operate in the US. After our visit to the Southern Poverty Law Center. we stopped brieﬂy at the Dexter Ave. King Memorial Baptist Church and took a few photographs. The Dexter Ave. Church was the site where the Montgomery bus boycotts were organized in 1955. Following this stop, we boarded the bus again and drove to Selma, Alabama, to walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. In 1965, the Edmund Pettus Bridge was the scene of an event that became known as Bloody Sunday. On Bloody Sunday, civil rights protesters attempted to m “Civil Rights” page 4

This show deals with characters ori the brink of something extraordinary. Vanesssa Gamble (Goblen Market, Into the Woods), Erin K. Schwab (Fairy Tales, School House Rocks Livel, Tony ‘N Tina’s Wedding), Sam Kivi (Tony ‘N Tina's Wedding, Chanhassen Dinner The- aters), and David B. Young (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat) make up this talented ensemble. Diversity in a cubic square Thaddeus Stryker Staff Writer ‘ 7 “Foot in the Door" is the name of the once—every—decade art exhibition that opened in January at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Since 1979. this unique show has featured a conglomerate display of art by more than 1700 Minnesota artists of all ages. The only requirement was that creations had to ﬁt in the wooden curator box; size limitation was one cubic square. The show emphasizes the diversity of art. Paintings, portraits, photographs, movable sculptures. beadwork. and clay pieces are just some of the works featured. Artists of all ages and ranges of experience are represented in this show. Paintings by famous artists such as American Indian George Morrison‘s Lake Superior landscape hang next to unknown artists’ works. A landscape watercolor might be bordered by a cartoon caricature, a photograph of a park, and an acrylic painting of a woman‘s hands. Artwork is arranged according to order of submission. \\ith locally well—known artist Anne DcCoster's painting being the first in the show. Each artist‘s work is crammed into little more than a square foot of white wall space with eight or nine creations per column. The three—dimensional pieces are displayed on white shelf units. Although it is difficult to focus on indi- vidual works. the overall effect is to realize how \arietl and brilliant art can be. It is also impressive that every exhibited piece is catar logued online. To ﬁnd out more about this show and to View individual works, simply go to the Institutes website (www.msmiaorg). The show runs through April 2 and is free and open to the public. The Minnesota Institute of Art is located at 2400 Third Avenue South in Minneapolis. and the exhibit hangs on the second floor in the two Minnesota Artists gal— leries. Latte’ Da at Bryant Lake Bowl Although I was unable to ﬁnd a clear-cut story line, I thor- oughly enjoyed the show. The show was comprised of cabaret-style songs sung by different characters from dif- ferent time periods. The moment that made the show, for me, was the song in the second half of the show sung by Erin Schwab, in which she portrayed a very bitter and neglected Mrs. Clause. Not only was Schwab my favorite aspect of the show, but she was also greeted each time she sang by thun- derous applause and hoots from the audience. But what made the show worth my time and money was the fact that the talent didn’t stop with Schwab. The sweet vocals by Vanessa Gamble were beautiful and mellow. and Kivi‘s performance was honest and inviting. To top it off. each of these strong and talented vocalists were able to add to the ensemble numbers, which were some of the strongest moments in the show. Songs for a New World is currently running at the Bryant—Lake Bowl (810 W Lake St.) through Feb. 27. Shows run at 7 pm. Thursday through Sunday with a 3 pm. matinee on Sunday. Ticket prices are $15 for a general admission ticket. and reservations are recommended You can reserve tickets by calling the Bryant—Lake Bowl ticket office at (612) 825-8949. Emlly Nugent AQEM -7 ,7 It’s bad. Really bad. I have never had a movie-going experi— ence quite like this. The movie Rules of Engagement was shown at a special preview and does not actually open until March. The movie was not in its final form. There had yet to be ﬁnish- ing touches of color, and virtually no music had been added to it. However, it was not the lack of music or the roughness of the pic- ture quality that made this movie so bad. Mth an A-list cast that included Tommy Lee Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, and LA. Con- ﬁdential's Guy Pierce, you would think that this movie could pull off something with some degree of integrity and wit, but all of you action/war movie fans will be sorely disappointed by this atro- cious bomb. The movie starts off with a choppy and unnecessarily grotesque battle scene from the ﬁelds of Vietnam. It’s as though the scene is trying to be another D-Day from that infamous Spiel- berg ﬁlm, but is not able to pull off even an ounce of the entertain- ment value. Jones and Jackson bond in an ultimater cliché friendship begun by this life-sav- ing scene. Then we are suddenly brought into a crisis at the American Rules of Engagement = Waste of time Embassy in Yemen. Don‘t even ask me how the movie took this turn, because I was probably ﬁghting off sleep. An angry mob of Yemenites, who have a violent hatred for Americans, have gath— ered outside the Embassy and have begun throwing rocks. They call in the troops. Shortly after the troops arrive, the Yemenites pull out their oozies and start mas— sacring the marines. The whole thing turns into a big mess and Jackson eventually shoots them all down. But now he is in trouble. This movie, however, gives lit- tle reason for us to care. Jackson’s character remains undeveloped throughout, and the only light at the end of this dark, dark tunnel remain a few verbal comebacks by the sprigish Jones. Now that Jackson has blown up a bunch of people from Yemen he has to go on trial. Insert here the infamous fallen—ofﬁcer-contemplates—sui- cide—over—a—bottle-of—Scotch scene. But, he is a main character so he can’t die yet. So, of course, the Feds bring in a hotshot young lawyer straight out of Stanford Law School, (ha -- you thought I was going to say Yale! It's okay; they fooled me, too.) played by Guy Pierce, who looks as though he is already preparingfmhisnextroleasa heroin addict of some son. They have a trial. Jackson asks the now retired Jones to be his lawyer. You see, he owes him because Jackson saved Jones” life in Nam. And somehow, with less than a week to prepare, Jones goes to Yemen and collects some totally unrelated evidence that ends up winning him the case. Sorry to give away such a poignant ending. This whole movie is ﬁlled with trite and obnoxious clichés. The plot, itself, was bad enough. It wasn’t even up to par for the most remedial of movie goers. The editing, given a generous amount of grace for its non-ﬁnal— ized state, was horrid. The acting - - as well as directing, for that matter -- was totally textbook, to the point of laughable obvious— ness. It was also clear that they were rehashing about ﬁfty other war/trial/mystery movies that I have seen, and they did none of it well. After seeing one nauseat- ingly overused image (in this case, a crippled Yemen war child hobbling around on crutches try— ing to evoke pity from the visiting American ofﬁcer), I would have been more than willing to purge myself (from the theater, that is), but there were simply too many to count. There really isn‘t anything to make up for the wretchedness of this movie, even the fact that I got into it for free. I guess I will only be able to wish for some mir- acle that will give me back those two hours of my life. The Green Mile Andy Zetzman §t§ff VLriter,,,,, I‘d have to agree with most people when they say that the book is better than the movie, but I think that The Green Mile is an exception. Sure, the books were great, but the movie was amazing. I have never felt so many different kinds of emotions run through myself in one sitting. It made me laugh, it made me angry at a character, it almost made me cry, and it made me think. The Green Mile stars Tom Hanks as a death row police ofﬁcer named Paul Edgecomb who befriends an inmate called John Coffey. played by Michael Clarke Duncan. There are other inmates on what is called “the Green Mile," but this John Coffey is special. He holds a special power that will change the face of Paul’s life forever. The duration of the movie is just over three hours, but it does not seem to go on that long. The movie goes beyond the beyond in terms of provoking emotion, and will leave the viewer bafﬂed. I give this movie a big “A” and strongly suggest that you go and see it when you have the time. It‘s well worth it.

Jay Phinney; associate regis- trar, Registrar's Ofﬁce, and Deb Hutterer, communication special— ist, Public Relations and Commu- nications, were presented with the second annual Employee of the Year Award which recognizes fac- ulty and staff for their outstanding contributions to, and high stan» dards of excellence in their daily work. Candidates are nominated by fellow Augsburg staff members through letters of recommenda- tion which are eventually brought before the Faculty Staff Senate. Nominations and letters of recom« mendation can be submitted with— out the knowledge of the nominee. Phinney commented, “I found out Tuesday [that I was nominated], and Thursday it was announced who won.” Later he added, “It was nice to win, but it was just as nice to be nominated —— to know that your peers took the time to do that for you.” ~ Sheila Anderson, Registrar‘s Ofﬁce, was one of four people to nominate Jay Phinney for the Employee of the Year Award. Said Anderson, “I consider myself to be very lucky to have had the opportunity to work closely with Jay. In our tiny ofﬁce, Jay serves as a sounding board for student and college issues and I know that I can always rely on his advice and opinions. Jay is deserving of recognition because of his out- standing commitment to the col- lege and its students...He cares passionately about the college and just simply does good work. I think his outstanding character and commitment to the college is demonstrated in the work that he does.” ‘ Don Stoner, Sports Informa- tion Coordinator, was very enthu— siastic in his response to why he nominated Deb Hutterer for the award: “I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Deb at Augsburg. She has wonderful ‘ enthusiasm and a love of the col—. lege and its mission. She’s always the ﬁrst person in our ofﬁce every morning — usually before 7 am. — and often stays on campus many‘nights and weekends... I’ve .never seen her without a smile on her face, regardless of the task presented to her. Her devotion to . Hutterer and Phinney are ’Erlcalluls her faith —— going to chapel every day and sharing her story with many of us — has inspired many of us to explore and expand our own issues of faith." Both Phinney and Hutterer are also alumni of Augsburg; Phinney graduated in 1979 with a double major in Political Science and History and Hutterer ﬁnished her education last year through the Augsburg College Weekend Pro— gram with a major in Communi— cation. - When asked to comment on their work, both Phinney and Hut- terer praised the college as a spe— cial place. “There are a lot of caring and’committed people who work here," said Phinney. Hutterer added, “I just really feel fortunate to work here. I get to work with a lot of people. I work with students, staff, and fac- ulty, and that’s just such a rich experience. like what I do. I’ve got a good job.” In all, there were 16 staff members who were nominated for the Employee of the Year Award, doubling the number of nominees from last year. Hutterer com— mented, “Last year there were eight nominees to this year’s 16. I think that really says something staff of the year ‘ photo courtesy of Brennan Anders» ‘ T 2000 Staff Members of the Year, Deb Hutterer and Jay Phinney. about this college and its mis— sion.” ' At the awards ceremony. Hut— terer was particularly struck by something President Bill Frame said. “He said that [the award] is really something for this institu- tion because you’re recognizing that by having 16 nominees that there are some outstanding among us." Phinney and Hutterer were both presented with plaques and a monetary award of $l.0()(). Both staff members have set aside the money until they can decide on 11 special way to spend it. Other staff members recog- nized for their excellence were Leif Anderson. Susan Certain. Laurel Christianson. Carol Forbes. Dcnnice Gooley. Nancy Guilbeault. Dick Hardel. Betty Joyce. Lil Maunu. Mary Menard. Jocelyn Palmer. Sandra Shel- bume, and Jeff Swenson. Changes proposed for general education Allison Helmkes News Editor A proposal to change the Gen- eral Education Perspectives has been handed to the College. The proposal would reduce Social World from two courses to one, Western Heritage from two courses to one, and Christian Faith fromthree courses to two. It also proposes moving the lan- guage requirement to the skill sec— tion of the graduation requirements, rather than the per- spectives. This potential change is in an attempt to essentially divide an Augsburg student’s classes into thirds: one third general education requirements, one third major classes, and the ﬁnal third elec- tives. Under the new system, stu- dents would have greater freedom to take more electives within their required 33 credits to graduate, , and they would have the opportu- nity to become more well- rounded in their education. However, the number of classes in their major that students can count toward their 33 required would not change from 13. Under the new proposal, classes would be placed into more perspective categories. To hypothesize, a religion class may now be under the Human Identity perspective. Currently, students would have four sections of that religion class to ﬁt 'into their schedules. Under the new pro- posal, the section of that class that was taught by an adjunct profes- sor would probably be cut. If the proposal is adopted, stu— dents would have the option to follow the current catalog or the new catalog. They would not be able to pick and choose their as h Nation, The world jwams’s HEART HEALTH MAY swore H, 35? who live in Mississippi, imam, 15mm” ’aare more likely to die ‘ 'nsywlwre else in the United GEOGRAPHY r options. Cutting these sections would cut around $300,000 from the budget. This number comes from cutting 100 sections and the $300 that adjunct professors receive to teach those sections. That money translates into pay equity and moves faculty salaries toward those of the schools with whom we compare ourselves, aca- demically. In a casual , straw poll con— ducted by the Student Senate on February 9 over the noon hours. 24 out of 35 students agreed with the proposal. Some of those stu— dents who disagreed focused on a fear of losing liberal arts. Several students wrote that they would like to see Natural World require— ments cut before Christian Faith.

Co-editor in Cheif W Associated press reporter Joe Kimball hit the proverbial nail in the cofﬁn when he said, “Those anxious to seek his congressional seat are coming so fast and furious that it’ll soon be easier to list those not running.” What has happened to our campaign process? Are people so eager to go to Washington that they would trample over anyone, and would literally kick a sick man when he’s down, to pump up their chances at the voting booths? The level of inappro- priateness to which these candidates are willing to rise is simply disgusting. I want to follow this elec- tion over the next few months just to know who not to vote for. v Vento has left a legacy of environmental and humanitarian legislation behind him. Too bad the men and women elbowing each other in the race for his seat didn’t take his humanitarian lead when announcing their candidacy. Struck down with mesothelioma, a rare and malignant form of lung cancer, Minnesota DFL Rep- resentative Bruce Vento announced on Wednesday, February 2 his retirement from Congress at the end of this year. Always digniﬁed in his approach to his political colleagues. Vento assured them that it would not be disrespectful for interested individuals to announce their candidacy for his open seat. And so the eager opportunists took him at his word. With Vento months away from retirement and far from dead, the vultures turned out in droves. In less than one week, close to a dozen candidates announced their position in the race to replace Vento. Didn't anyone stop to think that Vento was simply being gracious in extending his permission? Appar- ently not. Student Senate an opportunity cant has leadership and teamwork skills. The Student Senate is a way for students to learn and reﬁne these ' skills. I don't see why any business major planning on being a company CEO or owning his or her own business would pass up this opportunity to get real experience. I also don‘t understand why more politi- cal science majors don’t run for Student Senate. This is an extremely good opportunity to get a better understanding of what you are learning in the class— _‘ room. Student Senate isn‘t only about work. The Student Senate does like to have fun. Weekend retreats and going out together are some of the fun things they do. This provides an opportunity to meet and become friends with a lot of new and different people. One of the best things about running for Student Senate is that you don't need to have previous expe— rience. A lot of the students on Senate didn’t have any previous experience before running. This shows that anyone can run and everyone can be a very important part of the Senate. I am glad that I chose to run for Student Senate. 1 hope everyone will seri- ously consider running for ofﬁce. This is a real opportunity for students to have a say in what is going on at Augsburg. Why put this opportunity in other students hands when you can be the one making decisions and representing students? I know I will run again for Senate. 1 hope you will decide to run, also. Brad Motl Staff Writer ‘ When I ran as a candidate for Student Senate last fall, I really didn't know what I was getting myself involved with. I had been my high school’s student council president and I felt that running for Student Senate was a natural progression for me. After being elected a freshman representative, I started attending meetings and understanding what Student Senate was about. With my new understanding of Student Senate. I realized a problem. The problem is that not enough students care about Student Senate and not enough students run for ofﬁce. Students at Augsburg should care and know what is going on in Student Senate. The Senate is in charge of the activity fee that every student pays every year. The activity fees total over $180,000 each year. This is your money. Wouldn‘t you like to know where it is going? Wouldn’t you like to have a say in where it is going? Not only does the Student Senate say where the money is going, but it also sets how much the activity fee is going to be every year. Students at Augsburg should also run for Student Senate ofﬁce. There are a lot of students at Augsburg with many different majors.

I Not only are they expecting us to be environmen- tally aware in the way we shop, live and work, now they are actually expecting us to choose our enter- tainment by its possible effects on the environment too. How insane is that? The new Leonardo DiCaprio movie, “The Beach,” is causing a fuss, just because a national park in Thailand was involved with the shooting, the- producers of the movie promised before they started shooting not to cause any permanent damage to the public land, and Leonardo DiCaprio himself said that he thought that the movie actually helped the ecosys- tem by clearing out the trash and litter they encoun- tered when they ﬁrst arrived on the beach. So what’s the environmentalists’ problem? The motion picture “The Beach” has caused an international stir, and unlike the media frenzy sur- rounding most Leo movies (e.g. 12-year-old girls screaming “ohmygosh, he is sooooo cute!") this time it is overwhelmingly negative. A ﬂood of protesters, both native Thai and international environmental watchdogs, have expressed decidedly strong opin- ions about the movie in forms as kin to kittens as let- ters and lion-like as highly-verbal sit-ins, but still the movie marched on through production, and is sched- uled to hit theaters this week. The angry protesters were upset about the mass removal of many native trees and plant life, and the temporary addition of non-native species, although as humans have learned in the past controlled intro- ductions of species to new environments can lead to environmental disaster. For example, Cain toads were brought to Australia to control agricultural pests, and have- since been detrimental to native wildlife including, birds, reptiles and other amphib- ian We at The Daily Barometer are not so simple- minded as to believe that no movie made before or since has been equally harmful to environment, but few of such movies are made with similar promises, and fewer still star the self-proclaimed advocate of environmental protection serving as chairman to EarthFair 2000 on the Mall in Washington, DC, or in layperson’s terms, the biggest Earthday celebra- tion to happen in the United States. We, of course, cannot lay total blame on an actor for the entire production of a movie, but we can not ‘ accept his claims that the island was left better than when they found it either, not can we accept his use‘ of the movie as a way to promote his own eco— friendly image. We cannot accept this separation of personal beliefs and professional conduct, and we certainly cannot expect him to be the kind of envi- ronmental role model he has claimed to be. It is not the intent of The Daily Barometer to claim that DiCaprio is a bad person, or even that the producers of “The Beach” are bad people. Though maybe it is time that we reevaluate our “role models” and the standards we hold them to. Maybe its time that we ask more of our role models than to write large checks and smile for public ser- vice announcements. Maybe it is time we stop toler- ating hypocrisy. mean—m «v _. L
