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

NEW DANcE -. ADMINISTRATlON SHUFFLE by Becky Nystuen Did you know that Augsburg no longer has a Dean of Student? The former Dean, Glen Johnson, resigned his position to fill a vice-presidential vacancy in the administration. He is now Vice— President of Developement. Mr. Johnson is in charge of planning and fund raising projects. He will also work with alumni and public relations. The position of Dean of Stu- dents has been newly designated as the Vice—President for Student Affairs. Filling this post is Dr. Holman who additionally is the administrative head of the Center for Student Developement. He - hopes that the Office for Student Affairs and the Center will be— come a joint operation. The old emphasis of the office of the Dean of Students was main— ly with housekeeping and policing. Dr. Holman as new administrator will use his thrust to add programs for student developement Outside the classroom. He will work with his staff in counseling, health ser- vices, admissions and housing. Also in a new position is Harold Johnson of admissions. He formerly had one -half re spon- sibility in financial dealings as with student scholarships. He can be contacted in Science 108. Vice—Pre sident Johnson and Dr. Holman will work through their new positions to better administrate Augsburg College. Show less

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

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

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

At this point in conference play, the Auggies stand 3-1. The Macalaster game was close throughput with the Auggies main- taining the lead in the first half and most of the second. Freshman Gary Ellefson started off like wild— fire, throwing in points from wher- ever he could hit the basket. The six foot guard lead both teams in the scoring department with 24 points. At half-time, Augsburg stood in the lead, 32—26. The second half was much like the first as the Auggies were ham— pered by a two—one —two defense, and Macalaster was cold shooting from the floor. With about five minutes left on the clock, Mac— alaster got hot. They managed to pull out and sit on the ball, leav- ing no alternative for Augsburg but to foul. Augsburg recorded 12 nerSUnal fouls in the second half. Ironically, Macalaster had a good free-throw percentage (17 for 27) so this alone was enough to keep them in the lead. Macalaster had four players in double figures, with Doug Malena having 33 points for them-Augsburg'sof this week will find the Auggies center Mike Haag had 12 points for the Auggies.

The Augs now face the tough- est part of their conference dual meet schedule traveling to St. Johns Friday and Concordia Sat— urday. The Cobbers and the John— nies each have a team capable of defeating Augsburg in a dual meet situation, but the Augs experience against tough non—conference foes such as St. Ci oud State, Luther, and Upper Iowa shfluld make the positive difference for Augsburg. i I Tim. you satiskd th fife Whis- por'QC’overage of sportsf?

Standing up and clearing his throat, he bellowed out something about a gentleman never finishing his meal before his date does. Then he sat down to stare at his un- touched food. It seems the lady he was with took one look at her plate and an- nounced that she just couldn't eat "that stuff. " The highlight of the evening came as I watched my waitress struggle to pour coffee. High society has a strict rule that says a waitress must always serve from one's left. I was sitting in a corner with a huge rubber plant stationed behind me, so the waitress had to climb into the flower pot and through the tree to reach my left side. Both the flower pot and I were highly amused. Anyway, the waitress didn't seem to mind us laughing because, as Fern Martinson so aptly put it, one has to make certain sacrifices if one expects to be included in the "high society. " If that's true, I should be a prime candidate for acceptance. 1 make the biggest sacrifice of all: going to the banquet. A o L.,. 7, , age Seven Orchcsim ans Comg‘i Po» VJJYW t +- by Grg Withers The Augsburg College Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Robert Karlen, will present a concert during convocation, 9:35 a.m. , at Si Melby Hall on Wednesday, February 4. Opening the program, the orches- tra will perform one of Handel's great instrumental pieces, "prelude and Rigue in D Minor. " Only eleven instruments will be utilized in the presentation of Dvorak's HSerenade in D Minor. " This work has a most appealing and expressive melodic line shared between clarinet and oboe. A Brass Quartet composed of Linda Anderson, trombone; Daryl Jackson, French horn; Betty MacKay, and Greg Withers, trumpet; will play "Ricercar" by Gabrielle. This humi- ber is based on the renaissance cus— tom of transferring vocal music into instrumental. Overtrrc arf‘ Y‘ava‘sc from "Gunn- laug" will complete the orchestra's performance. The composer of this number, Mr. Robert Karlen, was in- spired by the Icelandic epic "Gunn— laug the Serpent-tongued. " Mr. Kar— len was commissioned :0 write a piece for the celebration of Augsburg's Centennial and chose this saga as a basis on which to biiild his creation. The piece focuses on a love-triangle that is destroyed through greed and desire for personal gain. The stren~ gth and vigor which prevail in the opening of the music finally gives way to resignation and despair. Show less

Show morell Page Eight NEW CONSTlTuTlON AM) BiLLOF RIGHTS; WWW by LaRhae Grindal Two of the most important areas of student government interest this year have been needed additions to the pres- ent constitution and also the beginning 3f work on all Collegiate Charters. toth of these have come a long way since this fall. The need for a new constitution has been felt since two years ago when Jim Nye's administration worked almost totally on a new constitution which was not approved by faculty. The reason for faculty disapproval was the change in by—laws required in the faculty con— stitution as a result of the changes in the student constitution. Out of this conflict as well the desire for a more realistic document of governance for he whole college, the Student- Faculty Council began discussing the idea of a charter las t year which would solve ,he problem of two constitutions and at the same time abolish the controls of faculty over the constitution which seemed unrealistic. Finally at its last meeting, the council moved that a charter commission be appointed out of the President's office and be funded in order to research and take surveys for a more effective job. As the first accomplishment to— ward this goal of a chater, the Stu— dent—Faculty Council approved the cus groups to identify and tackle 3th Hall will pub: in 2012-2013 gen- der neutral apartments thro Wit RE "Joint Stallment on Rights and Free— doms of Students" which is the most accepted statement of rights of stuv—r dents. In this document is included the following freedoms: freedom of access to higher education in the class— .room, policies on student needs, stu- dent affairs, (freedom of association, inquiry expression, participation in institutional government, student publications) off-campus freedoms of students, procedural standards in disciplinary proceedings, and enforce— ment. In this last section it is advis— ‘ ed that the schools set up machinery for continuing joint interpretation of the policies and procedures recommend— ed in the statement. In an effort to do just this the Student—Faculty Council moved to hold an open hearing on the statement of rights and freedoms on Wednesday, January 28 at 9:35 a.m. in the Commons so the students and faculty might have a discussion about the document. Many of the freedoms stated in the document form a good bas— is for all future thinking about the Charter. Since we have realized that this Chartered Commission will have much work and time ahead of them,the other need in Student Government is for a constitution that has in it more checks and also basic changes in structure.

Pres» ident must report to Student Society at least twice during his term in off— ice, President also has power to speak for Student Society when he is the official representative of Student Society. 3 Only 5 commissioners are included whereas there used to be 7. '0 Executive Council members now includes President, Vice—President, Treasurer, and 5 commissioners. (Treasurer was not a member before. ) It also is now more like a Cabinet where the President can get suggest- tlons for the programs and reactions about ideas. Every President needs this kind of advisory help and coordin— ation of the programs for the year. 5) Sections describing the job of the Secretary and Treasurer have been added. 0 Judicial Council includes 5 students instead of 3 and so there need be no change in the faculty constitution; Page Nine also that a chairman be appointed at a meeting during fall term. '1) The quorum needed at a Student Society meeting was changed to 15% of the Student Society (instead of a sim— j)le majority). 9) The faculty approval of the student constitution was ommitted. In conclusion this constitution as well as changes in the by—laws (that will be reported at a later date) will 0e voted on by Student Council and iopefully given to Student Society for ‘gheir approval in the general election March 20. If approved this constitu-~ tion will be the legal document of Stu- dent Society until such times as the _C_harter is ready for operation.

On January 20, Stenshoel was one of the four candidates to survive the primary election, polling the second highest number of votes. Two coun— cilmen will be elected in the run~off election. The special election was called to comply with the recently approved charter which enlarged the council and turned the former village of Min— netonka into an official city. A coun- oil—manager type of governement was adopted. Dr. Stenshoel feels that Minnetonka is entering a very criti- cal period in its developement.

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

He often studied the audience like an actor trying to decide how to deliver a certain line in order to get a desired response. At one very dramatic point in his lecture, Gregory said, "At five years old, I knew the pusher, the pimp and the prostitute. At eight, I had seen the pusher, the pimp and the pros- titute turn all their tricks for the po- liceman. How are we supposed to rev— spect policemen when they let people like that run free in our communities ?" At this point there was an empathetic shout of "thank you" from a young wo— man in the audience who identified strongly with Gregory's childhood ex— perience. From my vantage point, I could see that Gregory was pleased at this reaponse and it gave him an added incentive to continue his explora- tions of the Black neighborhood. Many people agree that the only inconsistency in his lecture came at the end when he said, "If you liked this talk, I have an album entitled the Light and Dark Side of Dick Gree— gory. Please don't call me or write me. Just go to the record store and buy it. " Here he deviates from his image of the man who is larger than life, who needs only distilled water to exist. Here is where we realize that even Dick Gregory is a capitalist to the extent that we all need capital to live. Perhaps this contradiction in character serves as a reminder that Gregory is human and not super human, which is a comforting thought. ,\-..,.. , Page Eleven AUGS The Auggie Cagers topped off at winning week with a 106—76 victory over Hamline last Saturday night.

Once again the Ibos are a national group stuck in a country that doesn't concern them. For all the years of fighting, the peop? e of Biafra have nothing more than they had before except increased alienation towards the victor. It'll be hard for the people of Biaf— ra to stride arm in arm with their countrymen knowing that in the past they had tried to subdue them by starv- ing the women and children. It'll be hard too for Biafra to appreciate Nig— eria after their soldiers have looted Biafran villages and raped Blair-an women. We had a civil war in America and the results were "freedom" for the slaves and an increase in the price of cotton. Nigeria's relief efforts too are not working or are working very well de- pending on whether you're Biafran or Nigerian. Nigeria refused at first to receive aid or "blood money" from countries who during the war tried to keep starving people alive. Nigerian's didn't use their heads when they got themselves into the war and if they had continued their efforts for One more year there wouldn't have been any rebel Biafrans left to worry about. T.
