League scores on the radio. All the major league teams are well into their spring training, and Augs- burg's 1969 baseball team has like- wise thrown itself whole-heartedly into its “spring training." Hard and enthusiastic practices have been the order of the day for Coach Edor Nelson's baseball pros- pects in the gym and dirt area of Melby Hall. Led by senior cu-cap- tains Gene Parrish and Jerry Pe- terson, the 35 athletes have been concentrating mostly on getting in shape and loosening up their arms in their first week and a half of team practice. PRIOR TO THE beginning of ac- tual baseball practice, most of the players had been working out indi— vidually for the last month or so. Along with co-caphains Parrish and Peterson (who play outfield and second base respectively), oth» er returning lettermen include sen- iors Mike Peterson and Ron Pet~ rich battling for third base, and three fine sophomores, Bruce Nel— son at first, Jim Bishop at short- stop, and Byron Nelson behind the plate. In the all-important pitching de- partment, the Auggies have return- ing junior Rod Hehenberger and sophomores Bob Milke, Paul Wiese, Jim Winkler, Tom Unstad, and freshman Steve Gustafson to give the team possibly the strongest stafi‘ in the conference. OF THE 35 PLAYERS out for the team, 20 are freshmen, more than in any previous year. “We have some very good freshmen out this year," said co-captain Gene Parrish, “One thing we have go~ ing for the team is the fresh push— ing the regulars. If we don’t put out, one of the freshmen will be there to take our places.” This com- petition is one of the things that points to a good season. Another indicator of a good sea- son is the strong pitching stafi. This year all games are double- headers, and Augsburg’s strength on the mound will give it an ad» vanmge over St. John‘s, St. Mary‘s, and St. Thomas, three strong con- tenders for the MIAC title who are basically one-pitcher teams. How- ever, the Auggies m as t c om e through with better hitting to match their previously sound de~ fense. The Auggies face St. Cloud in Busy Cindermen Look Forward to Coach Howie Pearson's track squad has been practicing for about two and a half month now, and has already participated in four events. Last Wednesday the squad tra- veled to St. Olaf to meet Gustavus in an indoor meet. Although the Gusties won 10044, the Auggies showed the potential of a strong team in several events. Freshmen Luther Bakkcn and Dan Knak took first and third re— spectively in the shot put, with throws of 44 feet seven inches and 40 feet three inches. In other field events, Glen Bruins took second in the high jump with a mark of five feet ten inches, and first in the pole vault with 13 feet nine inches. In running events, the Auggies New Year didn't fare quite as well. Tom Brandt grabbed firsts in the mile run with a time of 4135.0, and the two mile run (10:13.4). Jim Pie- penburg's time of 6.6 was good enough for second in the 60 yard dash. Tom Reifi' took seconds in the high hurdles and the low hurdles with times of 8.15 and 7.6. The team is based on a group of promising freshmen athletes this year such as Bakken, Knak, Pie- penburg, Reiff, Don Tangen and Jerry Beckman. Although a com- plete, definite schedule has not been set up at this time. Pearson hopes to have a fairly accurate schedule ready for publication in nextweek‘s Echo. their first game Tuesday, April 8, at St. Cloud. On April 15 Augs- burg takes on the University of Minnesota in a very important double-header. The first home game at Parade Stadium is April 19 with Hamline at 1:00. ske has signed his contract with Hamilton, while Sneider is contem- plating an otfer from the Vikings. Lamparske has been the big man on the Augsburg offensive line from his guard position. The six- foot, 242-pound “' ‘ glad- uate consistently opened holes for Auggie runners during his career. Larry was all-MIAC in 1966, 1967 and 1968, and all~NAIA in 1966 and 1967. Sneider, a six-foot, two-inch end, set seven school records in his four seasons, including c a r e e r touch- down passes caught (19), season touchdown passes caught (9), game touchdown passes caught (4), and season yards gained pass receiving (579). Karl was all-NAIA in 1966 as a sophomore. Holmes Wins Capfaincy, Iver, Johnson Honored by Steve DeVries The hockey team ended its sea- son by naming Terry Holmes as captain for the 1969—70 season. Tom Iverson and Curt Johnson were named most valuable players of this season. Holmes, the first line center for the past three years, ended the sea- son with 10 goals and 11 assists. IVERSON WAS named the top offensive player for the s e c o n d place Auggies, Tom led the team in scoring with 23 goals and 16 as~ sists for 39 total points. He will be counted on heavily next year to cover for the loss of John Harden, Harden, the leading team scorer in the past two years, finished sec- ond to Iverson this season with 37 points on 17 goals and 20 assists. He ended his college career as the second leading scorer in Auggie history. Johnson was named most valua- ble player as he recorded a fine Boyd to Speak at Convo Malcolm Boyd, author of “Are You Running With Me, Jesus," will appear on the Augsburg campus this coming Wednesday at 9:30 in Melby Hall.

COLLEGE MASTER AUGSBURG REPRESENTATIVES: KERRY HOLLOWAY GREG NOMLAND 339-45 is 2.44 goals per game average. He had his finest game of the season in the second St. Mary's game, when he kicked out 48 shots to pre- serve a 2-1 win and keep Augs- burg in the title picture. MARK SATEREN and Corky Hall, along with Iverson and Har- den, were named to the MIAC All- Conference team. It was the second straight year for Sateren on the honor team. Harden was honored for the third straight year. Hall was named to the team as a de— fenseman, showing his versatility; he started the season at wing and was second in team scoring before switching to defense in a mid-sea- son etfort to quicken the blue-line corps. Johnson, Holmes, Mick Thorsten~ son, and Al DeWolf earned honor- able mention on the team as Augs- burg dominated the selections. Coach Ed Saugestad must find replacements for Harden and Sat- eren next year. Watch for some good freshmen to help spark Aug3< burg into the title picture. St. Mary‘s should be the tough team next year, losing only one man from this year’s squad. \ Baseball Logue APRIL B—at St. Cloud State (2), 12:00 APRIL ls—at University of Minnesota (2), 1:00 APRIL lS—Hamline (2), 1:00 APRIL ZS—St. John‘s (2), 2:00 APRIL ZG—at St. Mary's (2), 1:00 MAY 3—21; Macalester (2), 1:00 MAY 6—St. Thomas (2), 2:00 MAY lo—at Gustavus (2),1:00 MAY IZ—Concordia (2), 1:00 All home games are played at Parade Stadium.

Tennis Ilon Set to Improve Selves by John Asblnud With six members from In year’s team returning, Coach Ed Saugestad is optimistic about the upcoming tennis season. Behind the leadership of John Mueller and Brad Board, Saugestad feels the team can improve last year’s 4-4 record. As sophomores last year, Muel< ler and Board combined to capture the MIAC doubles championship. individually, Mueller had a 6»2 rec- ord playing first singles, while Board wu 5-3 playing second sin- gles. This year Saugestad looks for a real battle between them for the number one position. Returning in the number three position will be sophomore Steve McComb. McComb had a 3~3 record last spring. Saugestad looks for Tom Peter- son to move into the number four position vacated by the graduation of Curt Huovie. Playing in the filth position but year, Peterson should be a strong player this year with improved consistency. Rounding out the remainder of the team will be Ted Gredvig and Bruce Johnson. Last year they al- ternated at the sixth position. Saugestad thinks that Macales- ter and Hamline will be the teams to beat this spring. These two foes finished one-two in conference play last season. \ Tennis Schedule APRIL 5—At St. Cloud; 1:00 APRIL IZ—St. Mary's, Macalester; 1:00 APRIL lB—St. Thomas, Gustavus; 1:00 APRIL 22—at Concordia of St. Paul; 3:00 APRIL 26—St. John‘s, Hamline; 1200 APRIL Z9—University of South Dakota; 10:00 a.m. MAY l~at Bethel; 2:30 MAY Honcordia, Duluth; 1:00 MAY 9, Ill—MIAC Conference Meet Show less

Nicolle. — Minneapolis 3326681 by Steve Fronts "We don’t worry whether people are Viet Cong or not. If they are in need, they get help." This phi- losophy, that of both the Lutheran World Relief and the Vietnam Christian Service, was recently re- peated by Mr. Abner Batalden, a recipient of the Augsburg Distin- guished Alumnus Award. Mr. Batalden, who was deputy director of the Korea Church World Service for four years previous to his experience in Vietnam, is wait- ing for clearance from the Indian government on a passport which will enable him to accept a position as a project director of the Chris tian Agency of Social Action in New Delhi, India. IN VIETNAM and in Korea, Mr. Batalden worked closely with the people of these countries in an at- tempt to help them help them- selves. In Korea, for example, much land was reclaimed from the sea and made arable and used by North Korean refugees who came south during the war. Also, in Vietnam another form of relief was given. During the Tet ofl‘ensive of 1968, many houses in the suburbs of Saigon were de- stroyed by Viet Cong and Ameri- can bombs and Viet Cong mortars. In these areas, particularly in the area around Cholon, over 500 homes were rebuilt for their inhabitants by the Vietnam Christian Service. In another area of Vietnam a third type of help was given. In some of the smaller villages, the Vietnamese were encouraged by Mrs. Batalden to produce some of the handicrafts that they had been making for centuries. The items, such as a better mouse trap, blan- kets and baskets, were then taken to Saigon where they were sold to tourists and soldiers. This venture made over $21,000 for those vil- lagers. LA'I‘ER, IN discussing the poli- tics of these nations, Batalden stressed emphatically that both the Korea Church World Service, which he had been deputy director of, and the Vietnam Christian S e r v i c e, which he had been business affairs director of, tried to keep out of politics as much as was possible. Through this semi-neutral stance, therefore, the observations made by Batalden seemed most percep- tivc. The people of Vietnam, for in- stance, have had a very fatalistjc attitude towards life because of the constant war and the excellent press coverage of it. This attitude, according to Batalden, is beginning to change. Many villagers are be- ginning to realize that they must protect themselves. of course there are still many who are loyal to Sai- gon, Hanoi, the United States or the Viet Cong. depending upon ne- gotiations, but loyalty is beginning to stabilize in favor of Saigon. Furthermore, the people have very mixed feelings towards Amer- icans. Americans are not popular, but the Vietnamese leaders do rec- ognise their dependence upon them. For this reason, many of the lead- ers are hoping that Americans will be able to be less influential in the culture and government but not to- tally absent from the country. MANY ORIENTAL countries also have a suspicion of foreigners dating prior to the Boxer Rebel- lion in China, and in Vietnam many are afraid that the United States will remain as the French did. Despite this attitude t o w a. r d s Americans, V i e t n a m e s e want American aid. Many Saigon sup- porters felt that the McCarthy campaign was in effect selling them out. Also, prior to the election, they felt that a change in the party would indeed be beneficial. The bombing halt was not totally approved of, and Thieu emerged as a small hero for standing up to Johnson on this issue. However, peace is wanted, and it is felt that Ky will have to produce in Paris or leave Vietnamese politics. THERE IS MUCH corruption in the Saigon government, but they are working towards removing it. This is found particularly in the attitude of college students there. Most shidents support the govern- ment and work hard to rid the country of political corruption. In concluding, Batalden empha~ sized that there is a tremendous opportunity for American college graduates in secular and non-secu- lar voluntary relief organisations. While in Vietnam, he became the chairman of the Voluntary Organ- izations of Vietnam, and as such he oversaw the work of such or- ganisations as Care, Vietnam Re- lief and Foster Parents. Further- more these groups can be more ef- fective than projects such as the Peace Corps since in some areas American programs are considered as an arm of the government or as part of American propaganda.

The Auggies came close to their goal of cracking the top ten; their eleventh place finish (see standings at bottom of this page) left them one point behind Winona State. At the same time, though, students who saw the tournament, “little Bear" Ends Collegiate Career; Auggies Will Miss His Influence by Phil Dyskow As captain Daryl Miller ended his college wrestling career last week at the NAIA Wrestling Tour- nament, the Augsburg grappling team lost a true champion. For four straight years, Miller was the motivating source behind the Aug- gie team. Although he was captain Three Repeat as Champs; Matmen Take Tournament Mike Good, Dale Miller, Larry Stewart, and Ron Johnson paced the Auggies to a second straight MlAC wrestling championship by winning titles in action at Concor- dia College on February 22. Augsburg’s team total of 96 points outdistanced runner-up St. John’s by 80 points. Other team to- tals were: Concordia 59, Macales- ter 44, Gustavus 38, St Thomas 36, UMD 26, and St. Mary‘s 6. .THE UPSET 0F the tournament was the loss of captain Daryl Mil- lot in the 157 pound division to Chuck Bishop of Concordia. Bishop won an overtime referee's decision, Ind kept Miller from winning a fourth straight conference title. Good and Stewart won their sec- ond successive titles at 130 and 160 respectively. Good won his cham- pionship match by p i n n i n g St. John’s Dave Johnson in 2:39. Stew- art stomped all over Lorry Acker- man of the Johnnie: 8—0. "Big Bear" Dale Miller returned to win his second crown. He also Melted a St. John's opponent, pin- hing Dave Tripp in 2:56. Fresh- man Ron Johnson beat Steve Call- Ioa od Macaleater 7-4 at 137. IN OTHER MANHES, Gary Sundun or so John’s beat am Hickman of Augsburg at 115; St. Thomas‘ Ernie Palmsten beat Tom love at 128: Howie Hellickson of “It beat Kirk Anderson at 177. other champions were Wayne Ylnlmd' of Concordia at us, Dave Nuothin of Gustavus at 152. and Ami! Favorite of St. Thomas at lac-meith for only his last two years, he was nevertheless a leader even before that. He was an inspiration—someone the younger wrestlers could look up to and try to equal. Many un- derclassmen, such as Mike Good and Tom Howe, owe much of their success to Miller’s advice and wealth of experience. Probably no one will know just how much he has meant to the team until next year when he will be gone. MILLER WAS A leader on the mat as well as in the locker room. He was undefeated in dual meets (52-0) over four years of MIAC competition. He was conference champ three times at 177, All-Lu- theran Tournament champ three times, Carleton Invitational champ twice, and successfully competed in the Pan- American and Olympic trials. This year, he capped his ca- reer by placing sixth in the NAIA tournament at 167 pounds. Injuries held back Miller through- out his career. A balky right shoul- der forced him to wrestle “left- handed" at times. There is no tell- ing how much better Miller would have been than he already was if he had not been injured. Coach Ron Pfetfer summed it all up when he said, “There is no possible way I can give Daryl enough credit, or Dale Miller either for that matter, for what he has contributed as far as leadership and inspiration for these younger fellows. I can‘t take credit for what has been accomplished, because I never would have been able to do it without Daryl and Dale both.” MILLER‘S FIGHT to win a place in the nationals was a typical ex- ample of the kind of guy he is. Al- though he could have easily won a conference championship at 177, he cut down to 167 so that he could prepare himself for the national tournament. A combination of bad luck and the strain from the addi- tional weight cut forced him to set- tle for a heartbreaking loss on a referee’s decision in the MIAC championship match. For most. wrestlers, a demoral- izing loss such as that would have spelled the end, but not so for Daryl. He beat Waynesburg's John Sweder and Eastern Illinois' John Harsch before losing to champion Micky Carroll and third place win- her Craig Woodward. Miller capped a great college career by winning sixth place, finishing high in a na- tional tournament for the first time in his career. After graduation, Miller plans to go into coaching, If his past per- formances as a leader are any in- dication, he should become one of the best coaches around.

Winona State 24 IL Angelsng 23 including this reporter, were sad- dened to see two champions like Mike Good and Daryl Miller end fabulous seasons with heart-break- ing losses. First round results were impres- sive: Bill Hickman lost to sixth place winner Hector Cruz of Stout State; Tom Howe won a prelimin- ary match with a pin, but then lost to Denny Cozad of UN-O, who wound up in fourth place. Good pinned his man. RON JOHNSON lost to cham- pion Ron Russo 5-2, the closest match Russo had in the entire tour- nament; Pat Marcy won a thrilling 6-5 match with a comeback effort; Larry Stewart added a 7-3 win with a third period upturn. Daryl Miller scored one point on an escape, added two for riding time, and beat his opening oppon- ent; Kirk Anderson fell 6-0; Dale Miller lost 5-0 with all points scored in the final period. The second round took place the same evening after the all-day ses- sion finished the first round. Good won 6-1, scoring a first period take- down, a second period predicament, and a third period escape, plus one point for riding time. Daryl, mean— while, led all the way in winning a 5-3 decision. A late reversal by Miller clinched the win. MARCY SUFFERED from the luck of the draw; his second round opponent was senior returning champion Roy Washington. Mouse took Washington down right away, carrying a 2-1 lead into the second period. Washington pinned Marcy with 17 seconds left in the final frame; he had three pins and a 12-2 win on his way to the cham- pionship. Stewart came out like a ball of fire against Chuck Eckart of Be- midji With 1:38 left in the first period, he took his man down, and put him on his back for two more points a minute later. With 1:20 remaining, though, his strict weight cutting began to take its toll. With two seconds left, Eckart scored a near fall to win the match. In the third round, Good, sufl'er- ing from an upset stomach, stomped all over the returning 123 pound champ, Cullen Carey of Wis- consin State, 7-0. Good scored a first period takedown, rode Carey the whole second period, escaped in the third period, then took Carey down again and picked up two points for riding time. MILLER, THOUGH, ran into eventual champ Micky Carroll. The huge, quick-moving Carroll out- muscled Daryl, finally beating him 9-3. Miller fell behind 2-0 right away, but escaped quickly. A sec- ond period scoring flurry beat Daryl badly, though. Good was the Augs lone hope in the semi-finals Friday night. His opponent, Shane Foley, was called one of Lockhaven's “F a b u l o u 5 Four." The first period was scorc- less, but Foley escaped from Goml, took him down, and put him on his back for a near fall in the second period. Good entered the final period down 6-0, and in the down position, First Good escaped. There followed a rapid-fire series of moves by Good which resulted in a takedown and two predicaments. Good never gave up, and gained the finals with his 7-6 win. THE WRESTLE-BACKS. mean- while, went poorly for the Augs. ohnson, Dale Miller, and Marcy all qualified, but Johnson and Mil- ler both lost their first matches in overtime. Marcy won one match, needed one more to place, but got beat by a tough opponent. Daryl Miller cinched sixth with a 6-3 win. Miller lost his fifth place match, however, in a heartbreaker. A re- versal with two seconds left gave Larry Hitesman of Winona State a 4-2 decision. It is hard to forget seeing Daryl sitting ch" in a corner of the fieldhouse after that match, with his brother Dale trying to con- sole him. It hurts to see a cham- pion lose. Before 3,721 fans in the stufl'y fieldhouse, “Goody” rode Ed Jack- son of North Central State through» out the second period.

Show moreSocialisf Numbs "Wrong Area" Meyer Confuses Repor’rer by Logic by Steve Frantz As I approached the Science an» ditorium on Tuesday night, March 11, I was confronted with the over- ‘ ' ' to “The Militant" and a copy of a so- cialist-worker magazine. I had only 14 cents so I was allowed a one-cent discount on “The Militant" but was refused a copy of the other magazine. I then entered Science 123 and discovered that I was in the midst of the SDIrsponsored exercise in free speech known as “ 'My Trip to Cuba’ by Daryll Meyer." THE PRESENTATION began, as all good talks do begin, with a list of coming events that Mr. Mey- er felt Augsburg students should participate in. Liberation Week, for instance, will be held from March 31st to April 3rd, at the Univer- sity in response to the indictments of the Morrill Hall Fun Day par- ticipants. Also, all Augsburg students will undoubtedly want to participate in the “massive demonstrations” that will be held in seven major cities throughout the United States on April 5 to 7. The demonstrations will be made up of 61's but every- one is welcome to attend. The un- fortunate part of this plan is that the demonstrations representing the Midwestern region will be held in Chicago, but everyone is still expected to attend. After these vital pieces of pro- gramatic information were strewed upon the ears of the audience, Mey- er went on to bigger things—his recollections of Cuba. THE OCCASION was the tenth anniversary of the Cuban Revolu- tion, and in honor of it, 13 members of the young Socialist Alliance were invited to visit Cuba. Ex- penses were paid by the Cuban government, and from January 4th to January 25th, the last half of the trip, there was no itinerary that had to be followed. Therefore, according to Meyer, this group became ‘ with the Cuban “man on the street" de- spite the fact that only six of the group spoke Spanish. Meyer then jumped to those his- toric days of yesteryear when a poor Cuban lawyer tried to run for the Senate during the Batista re- gime. He was elected but the Sen- ate was dissolved, and he became frustrated and decided to move into action. On that fine sunny day of July 26, 1953, a small band of Cu- bans, led by the poor lawyer, Fidel Castro, attacked an armament at Santiago de Cuba. He was cap- tured but later given amnesty to fight again. In 1959 he began the rebellion that drove away the naughty Batista and his w hite American sugar company friends. MEYER FURTHER contended that naturally “Wall Street Barons and Washington politicians were opposed to this because they lost privileges and profits in Cuba." The Cubans were going to fight how- ever since they had decided that they “would no longer prostitute themselves and their sisters to rich Americans." After this adverb/adjective- packed, doubtfully historical at:- count Meyer then moved to three “false charges" made by the “Wall Street barons and Washington pol- iticians." The first contention was that there is political tryanny in Cuba. Of course, according to Meyer, this is untrue. He ‘ ‘ ' ’ that “Cuba is not a perfect democ— racy, but there is not an attitude of political oppression." He also conceded that the Communist party does run the state, but it was through this point that he revealed to the world exactly how his imag- ination had stretched to include Cuba as a democracy. Anyone, it seems, can become a member of the party. '1'L ‘ since there are elections in the party occasionally, it follows, to Meyer, that the peo— ple are in efiect ruling themselves. raxs PHILOSOPHY was inter— esting, to say the least, and is un‘ doubtedly unknown to political sci- ence departments of most colleges. The second refutation made by Meyer was of the point that Cuba was a welfare state. He began con- tradicting this charge (which was also made by “Wall Street barons and Washington politicians") by first explaining how much great progress has occurred since the rev- olution. Assuming that Meyer‘s facts were more valid than his philoso- phy, the improvements were im- pressive. For instance, according to Meyer, the illiteracy rate has dropped from 23 per cent to four per cent since the revolution, and beginning in 1970, no one will have to pay rent. In other words, the standard of living for the peasant has gone up. The standard of liv- ing for the other classes has stayed the same or gone down unfortun- ately, but the peasants are doing quite well. SOMEBOW THEN, this point was related to his next point, and together they fought the charge previously cited. The next point was that Cubans were building a society in their own image and not “in the image of Wall Street,” and it therefore has nothing to do with a welfare state since “the people don’t have their earnings siphoned ofl‘ by Wall Street." I frankly am not sure how all of this ties to- gether, but it all seemed logical to the Meyer mind. The third erroneous a n t h e m brought forth by who else but the “Wall Street barons and Washing ton politicians" was that Cuba was part of a sinister Communist con- spiracy. In defense of these nega- tive points, Meyer branded the Al- liance for Progress as the Alliance for Profits, stating that “Latin America cannot afford loans from the United suds." Also, he quoted an unidentifiable Cuban youth who must have re- stored everyone’s confidence when he said, in Spanish, “We don't send guns to Venezuela. We can't afi'ord to. We would if we could though." This enlightening evidence w a 5 produced by Meyer to refute his conspiracy point, and it was deter- mined at this point, that luck was with the American public when Meyer made the decision not to en- ter the legal profession. AFTER THIS series of mystical refutations had concluded, a ques- tion-answer s e s s i o n was estab- lished, and Meyer proved his intel- ligence or lack thereof. At one point, he announced that he was against hate, violence and racism, and in particular, violence to achieve a social action stating, “It‘s no fun being in street fights with cops be- hind barricades. l‘ve been there. It‘s not romantic. It's scary.“ Of course, he later modified this in» genious statement when he main« tained, “The only road open to mak- ing these changes (in American so- ciety) is a revolutionary upheaval." As if this wasn't enough batter- ing upon consistency, he contended additionally that “it would he ridi- culous to take up arms" against the government since “the ruling class hires the working class to hit it- self on the head." He then continued to expound on the Morrill Hall Happy Hour and a number of other points until, in total numbness of the wrong area, most members of the obviously en- during audience made their exit as solid if not senior citizens.

' . i, i PEACE MARCHERS CARRY THE DAY in who" is becoming a more and more frequently seen sight on the streets of maior American cilies. Panel Analyzes Asia by LeRoy Jensen The afternoon session of the Na- tional Convocation on the Chal- lenge of Building Peace consisted of a panel discussion on the topic, “How can a lasting peace in Asia be secured?" Panelists were Mar- tha A. Darling, Roger Hilsman, Herman Kahn, Richard M. Pfefl'er, Neil Sheehan, and Howard Zinn. Miss Darling, a graduate student in international alfairs at Princeton University, opened the discussion by stating that “revolution in Asia is a good sign. “The tragedy," she continued, “is that the United States links these Asian revolu- tions to Communism. We in the United States do not, however, un- derstand Asian revolutions. They are simply the demands of the com- mon people to their governments." PROJECTING HER thoughts to the future, Miss Darling concluded, “Instability is going to character- ize Asia in the coming years and the number of revolutions will be high. The United States must real- ize that these revolutions are for the ultimate good of Asia and con» sequently let them take place with- out our intervention." Following Miss Darling’s presen- tation, Hilsman, professor of gov- ernment at Columbia University, addcdhis'p' .‘ " to Hilsman, “the United States does not have the power or the resources to be a policeman of the world. In S. can do much to wreck es of a peaceful Asia." Regarding the U.Sr's future po- litical stance in Asia, Hilsman be— lieved that we as a country should recognize Red China, give our mili- tary base on Okinawa back to Ja- pan, s.nd also recognize “the new emerging nationalism as a human H-bomh for good will." For the U.S. present situation in Viet Nam, he believed that our country should not withdraw suddenly, but rather in a phased program because of “our moral and economic commit- ment to Viet Nam." UNLIKE THE OTHER panel members. Kahn, a famous physi- cist, supported the present U.S. policy in Asia as “the only way to bring peace in this troublesome continent." He firmly stated to his hostile audience, “We Americans don‘t have to be ashamed of our work in Asia. The present reaction- ary revolutions in Asia are a threat to the West and must be sup- pressed." Kahn also held th at America should continue to support Japan as a key to a stable Asia, and to denounce China as a threat to Asian security. University of Chicago law schol- ar Pfeffer, like Hilsman, believed that the U.S. has compounded the problems in Asia rather than solved any of them. “Our only alternative is to withdraw immediately from Asia." Continuing the discussion, Pfef— fer said that the “U.S. has a pho- bia for disorder in the world. We simply cannot tolerate it and we want to control it. In Asia, the tur- i. [ff National Peace Convo ' H Confers in New York Profesf Mars Luncheon by Mark Reifi Demonstrations have become commonplace in today’s society, so common in fact that the luncheon of the National Convocation on the Challenge of Building Peace, held March 5, was rocked by a demon— stration of considerable magnitude. The luncheon, cushioned between morning and afternoon sessions that discussed such topics as “Is America Becoming a Militnristic Society 7" and “How Can a Last- ing Peace in Asia be Secured7”, Peace bulent nationalism in many of the smaller countries and the cultural revolution in China are not harm- ful to the security of our nation or any other nation. These phenomena only show a positive development in the political climate.” “NEW YORK TIMES" pondent Sheehan saw no immediate peace for Asia. “The U.S. should just sit back and weather the tur- bulence." The real enemies, Shee- han contended, are bad government, social injustice and poverty. I n meeting these foes, a violent com- munist government may be “the best government." Rather than re— sisting any of this violence, as we have in the past, the U.S. should accept these violent changes “as bringing justice." corres- The last speaker, Zinn, is a pro. fessor of history at Boston Univer- sity. In his speech he called for a “radical approach to the problems in Asia. Historically, we as a na- tion have recognized political prob- lems late and in a small degree," he related. “We have always taken had as its theme “U.S. Senators Speak Out." Unfortunately, almost no one in the Grand Ballroom of the New York Hilton heard either .7. William Fulbright, Jacob K. Ja- vits, or George McGovern “speak out” because of the intensity of the demonstration. Immediawa after television newscaster Chet Huntley intro- duced the first speaker, Senator Fulbright, the demonstration be- gan. “A pig's head was dumped on the rostrum,” according to the New York Times, “in front of the sur- prised Arkansas Democrat and an- other on the table next to Senator Jacob K. Javits, Republican of New York, by a half dozen men and women." The demonstrators, clothed in red waiter‘s coats and pig masks, re-introduced the senator to the audience as a "racist." By that time Viet Cong flags had sprouted in the balconies of the ballroom and the chant “Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh, the N.L.F. is going to Win" were added to the cries of "racist." Time was then offered by the convocation for a one minute speech to be given by a demon- strator. In the speech, a demonstrator- charged “the United States ‘power structure,’ " again according to the New York Times, with profiting from war." After the demonstrator conclud- ed his speech, Senator Fulbright once again stepped to the rostrum only to be received by more heck- ling. After trying for several min» utes to speak the senator retired from the podium, giving Senators Javits and McGovern the opportun- ity to spar with the demonstrators. the ' practical, “ approach to these problems.” In contrast to the past, “the U.S. should act with magnitude in Viet Nam. We must admit today that we are the arrogant German fas- cists in Viet Nam and that we have acted evilly. The only right action conceivable for us is to leave Viet Nam immediately and let the Viet, namese people decide their own destiny.” In Memoriam The Echo slalf extends its deepest sympathies lo the fam- ily of sports editor Scott Thy- sell. Scott's mother, Mrs. Mary Thysell, was killed in an auto- mobile accident late last Friday. Her loss is felt by all on the Echo Ital who knew her. Show less

Show morePage 2 Editorial Echo Endorsement With the elections zeroing in again on our campus most students are beating a path for some kind of sanctuary away from the horde of hyper-friendly candidates. This escapist approach toward campus elections is just‘i- fiable, though wrong. It is justifiable because, as is always the case, “your friend and mine.” the candidate, is as obnoxious as cver in his quest for power (?), prestige (7) , and, of course, popularity. These are the three P’s of any candidate's manual. _ The political offensive is on and all students can now delightedly look forward to a barrage of campaign posters, speeches, p.o. stufi‘ers and other such dribble. The student that recoils from this ofi'ensive, however, is using an unnecessarily negative approach in his solution of the problem of the persistent mini-politician. Wouldn’t a more positive solution be in line for a liberally educated student? What could be suggested, then, is that the non—candidate student launch his own ofi'ensive, a sort of “peace of my own mind" offensive. ‘ Corner your local student politician. Pelt him with ques- tions. push him for answers, seek his philosophy, and in gen- eral badger him. ‘ It is the duty of the non-campaigning student to erect this kind of obstacle course for our future leaders. If this battle plan is followed, two positive goals will be achieved. First of all you can be assured that you will have been aiding nature in its rule, “survival of the fittest.” Sec- ondly, the student will, to some degree, have gained peace of mind in knowing that this year, for once, it is not only the turned off, casual, by-standing student who has suffered but also “your friend and mine“—the campus candidate. Echo Readers 19 76 Grad Reacts To the editor: The sane remarks of Professor Henry G. Follingstad call for agree- ment by those who think well. He opposes liquor ads in the Echo. I am not a fundamentalist, but I al- ways find that the sincere religious people hold to high ideals. They lead the fight for liquor-control? for this we honor them. However, the evils of liquor go beyond religious grounds. In my state (Missouri), the Highway Pa- trol says that liquor causes 50 per cent of the automobile accidents— quite a price for the innocent to pay. Social workers point to the broken homes and poverty brought about by liquor. The medical profession empha- sizes the effect of liquor on health and the length of life. One life in- surance company has even gone so far as to give reduced rates to total abstainers, Sociologists stress the relationship between crime and li- quor. No Lutheran church school can condone ads which seek to persuade a student body to indulge in intox- icating liquors. I commend Robert N, Thompson for his stand against ROTC on the Augsburg canipus~at a time when Yale has discontinued it and Har- vard says it is ohsoleHnd many other fine old schools start plans for doing away with ROTC. The philosophy of ROTC stands diametrically opposed to the ideals for which Augsburg came into be~ ing. ROTC stresses force and more force as did the Viking of old, while today the Scandinavian countries are the most peaceful of all. ROTC propagandizes for the mil- itary point of view. A u g s b u r g stresses settling disputes between nations by peaceful means. The So- cial Science faculty at Augsburg tries to find out the causes of war. The ROTC is not concerned with causes~it just trains young men to kill and kill and kill. President Nixon gets no support from ROTC in his goal of “negotia- tion rather than confrontation" in settling world disputes. ROTC plays right into the hands of the “military-industrial complex” of which President E i s e n h o w e r warned us in his farewell address. College students must become the men who lead—who lead in eliminating hate and prejudice and misunderstanding in this world of ours. The ROTC program does not lend itself to this effort. When I returned to the Augs- burg campus in 1966 to celebrate my fiftieth year of graduation from Augsburg College, I gloried in the enlarged curriculum, the many new buildings, and the fine athletic pro- gram. 1 look forward to returning to Augsburg Homecoming next fall to help celebrate its 100 years of greatness. I hope to find the high idealism I saw there half a cen‘ tury ago. /s/ O.

March 20 Respond to Ads, ROTC C O Blasts ROTC To the editor: In response to the recent furor over the possibility of Augsburg involving itself with the ROTC, I must say that even as a person only remotely connected with any sort of religion whatsoever, I think the idea of Augsburg participating in or being in any way involved with such an obviously militaristic group is highly inconsistent with and even contrary to its alleged Christian orientation, To those who argue that students who actually want this program ought to have a chance, I can ar- gue that there were certain courses I wanted, and I was told to “go elsewhere.” The militarists can go elsewhere too. And then there is this talk of “military obligation.” I think that anyone here who dares call himself Christian should have to fill out a form stating why he feels that, as a Christian. anyone has a military obligation. (I marvel at the fact that I spent many long hours in preparing forms for my Conscien» tious Objector claim with the local board. while at the same time mil- lions can sigi up to commit pre- meditated murder, and need justify it in no way whatsoever.) But, as a Christian Pacifist, I must at all times be willing to compromise, as long as this com- promise will not endanger pacifism. I would be able to approve of Augs— burg entangling itself with the mil< itary, then, IF at the same time Augsburg would allow an‘equal amount of credits to be given for “Pacifist Studies," a program which would entail courses from history, social science, and naturally, reli- gious departments. If no such alternative were of- fered, I must say now that I would be compelled to in any and every non-violent way possible attempt to hinder and hopefully obstruct Augsburg’s involvement with such a “Hitler Jugend” program. I sin- cerely believe that I would not have to do all that by myself, if, indeed, Augsburg is still a Christian col- lege. ls/ In Love and Peace, John S. Baudhuin Program Defended To the editor: I feel that the ROTC at Augs- burg controversy requires further comment, Hesitant as I am to align myself with someone who must re- sort to ad hominem attacks to strengthen his position, I also feel that Augsburg should consider in- stituting a program of ROTC. I am not overly concerned with “national reaffirmation" 7 what- ever that iseor with the “educa- tional philosophy" and “religious heritage" of Augsburgrwhatever they are. It seems to me‘that there is a utilitarian basis (meaning a usefulness basis, for those readers demanding a definition for polysyL labic words) for instituting ROTC. What Mr, Palosaari' seems to ova erlook is that all male students, not. merely those in the ROTC program, face a six year military obligation. Having been in the military, I will testify that it is better to be an officer than an enlisted man if one must be in at all. After all, Mr. Palosaari, just hcving the program available does not require one to join it. I‘m quite certain that no one would force you, or students believing as you do, to participate in an ROTC program— unless the Education Department decides to raise its course requir- ments by requiring a course in mil- itary education. There are those who could utilize an ROTC program, and it should be available for them. ls/ Stephen J. Schultz Pucksters Grateful To the editor: On behalf of the 1968—69 Angs- burg hockey team, I would like to thank those of the student body who so enthusiastically supported this year's team. A special thanks must go to those loyal fans who followed us on our games away from home. Their presence was much appreciated and a contribut- ing factor in our 14-4-1 record. Another thanks must go to the Echo and to reporter Steve De- Vries for the excellent coverage of all our games. The editions with the front page articles were espe- cially impressive and proved in- strumental in gaining student sup— port. This year’s team was character- ized by a close knit group of dedi- cated team-minded players. I hope Augsburg’s hockey fans had as much fun following us this season as we had as teammates. ’s/ John R. Harden Committees Concern To the editor: I am sure you are aware that there is a great lack of knowledge among students about what goes on in faculty and faculty-student committees. I think the recent ac- tion of the Student Council in re- questing that minutes of meetings be sent to Student Government is a step in the right direction. Most students, however, do not read the minutes posted on the Stu- dent Government bulletin board. In addition, it is my experience that committee minutes are short and do a poor job of reporting the gen- eral direction of the committee or even significant things which hap- pen at meetings. I think that what is needed is to find a student or an Echo reporter who is interest in keeping up on these important developments and who can occasionally write an ar- ticle for the Echo about them. This job would entail not only reading minutes but also interviewing Inc. ulty and student memben of these committees. I think that this is especially important now that reports are be- ing turned in to the Faculty Sen- ate by the Academic Blueprint Committees. I would be interested in doing this myself, but I will not b a student at Augsburg in the spring term. /s/ Larry Glenn 1 g | l l Show less

Sverdrup Relevant by Becky Foss Every time we turn around to- day, we are assaulted with slogans and promises, threats and entreat- ies, facts and fictions both shouted and whispered: and they all de- mand our understanding and sup- port. Leading every movement for reform is a symbol lauded by re- porters and cl itics as a “man ahead of his time." With so many possi- bilities accesible to us, it is often impossible to choose a workable pattern. We are, however, becom- ing more and more immune to these so-callcd “prophets of the future," and more concerned with building for today. And because we are searching for the answers to today's prob- lems, we find ourselves falling back on the works of the past. Oddly enough, these writings are applica- ble to our times because they have been written by men who were, '5 Writing Remains to Modern Society themselves, ahead of their times. One such man was Georg Sverdrup, the second president of Augsburg College. Sverdrup‘s works have re- cently been translated from Nor- wegian under the general editor- ship of Dr. Melvin Helland in a book entitled "The Heritage of Faith." SVERDRUI' WAS hailed as an advancing prophet. He took part in a revolution that w rac k e d the northern part of Europe and cre- ated the country of Norway. I-Iis beliefs were radical, and his de- sires were contrary to the centuries of Church procedures. But he, and others like him, founded a new type of church—a church for today. They sought a belief in a simple and binding congregation, not the reign of an aristocracy too remote to bother with. They were more materially oriented, though not to- ward the physical things of this Sunday Confessions Solitary Nurse Impresses Inquisitive Students by Don Smith The combination of the rising Mississippi River, the sunrise of a beautiful spring morning, and the chance to be alone and undisturbed enticed me to take a walk early one day this past April. When I arrived at the river just below St. Mary's hospital and sat down, I noticed I wasn't alone. About two hundred feet away was a nurse, sitting pensively alone on the bank of the fast moving river. Immedi- ately I was reminded of William Wordsworth's poem “The Solitary Reaper," about a girl singing as she harvested in an isolated Scot- tish field. Just as the poet was eager to know the content of the reaper's song, so too was I cap- tivated hy the nurse's thoughts; Right away I wondered what the river meant to this nurse. For me, the river exemplified the complex- ity of human existence. For in- stance, our family has built a new home high on the Mississippi's bank. exploiting the View through picture window 5. But when I thought of the millions of dollars floods were costing Minnesotans, I was painfully reminded of the riv- er's duality. Did this paradox per- plex this nurse as it did me? Per- haps her mind was drifting aim- lessly as her eyes followed the swift current. 0n the other hand, she may have been studying a spe- cific life situation, trying to make an important decision. Whatever her thoughts were, the river seemed an appropriate setting. Then I tried to imagine the rea— son she wasn't home in bed like most people at seven o'cloek on Sunday morning. Obviously, she had just finished her hospital job; but if she had worked all night, why hadn't she gone home? It may have been that her home was not a desirable place to return to. 01- maybe she was substituting an hour of meditation here by the river for her regular Sunday c h u rt: h service. Possibly, just like me, she only wanted to be outside on this perfect April day. Since we were the only two peo- ple in sight, I considered walking over and talking to her. I was hesi- tant, however, because I sensed she wished to remain companionless. Realizing this was one of my orig- inal intentions, I decided to journey southward down the and leave her as she was before I came. From the interstate bridge, I could see the speck of white still sitting on the shore. Again my curiosity intensified: “How long will she stay there?” I wondered. At the Frank- lin Avenue bridge, the speck had faded in the distant landscape, and my inquisitiveness had reached its river, climax. I reversed directions, and ran back—hoping she hadn't left. The nurse was gone when I got back. I rushed to the place she had been sitting, only to find five crum- pled kleenex. Determined to find her, I quickly climbed the hi] to- wards St. Mary's to no avail. That Sunday evening, with the impression of this solitary nurse embedded in my mind, I related the experience to Jerry J o h n s o n, a friend of mine at A u g sbu r g. Pierced with as much curiosity as I was, Jerry, a poetry writing math major, created his version of the incident: “Confessions of an April Sunday" Peace. Silence for a friendly shadow and a playful wind at home in her hair. An understanding sun, in its quiet manner, drying her morning tears as if they were dew. Yes. she wore the morning well. Nearby, the rising river humming its harmless tune. A lively squirrel scampers by her feet, daring her to be a friend. Returning birds pause to stare.

They concerned themselves with people and with forging a strong and workable life in this world. Recent theology classes have at- tacked the realm of the Bible with microscopic picks. T h e y b a v e sought an understanding of the in- finite messages to be found within its flowery images. Beneath all the searching lies a desire for a sim< pler truth—a reality applicable to the life of each individual. Gone are the towering hierarchies in their mammoth cathedrals, yet they leave an immense gap that we must fill. IN THEIR PLACES we seek community spirit in which we can approach our God. Many people feel the time of individual with- drawals for revelation is gone with confession. Even in the time of Georg Sverdrup one felt. a need for a deeper personal experience in the world to reach any understanding of God’s purpose. Sverdrup warns his fellow Norwegians against the dangers of pompous priests or eth- ereal oriented pastors. Sverdrup participated in revolu- tions that revamped the state re- ligion. His ideas on education and other public functions follow a pat- tern for greater Christian involve- ment in the basics of life. The new church sought God in His world, and strived for understanding and acceptance of its responsibilities. The congregations of Sverdrup‘s new church tried to employ many principles useful to us today. “Her- itage of Faith" puts forth once again these principles.

Show morePage 6 THE AUGSBURG ECHO Hopeful Grid Warriors Lookto by Ken Anderson Rated among the top three MIAC football teams by conference coach- es, St. John's provides the next challenge to the Auggies as they attempt to come back after the loss to top rated Hamline. "It was unfortunate that we have to open the season playing the top three teams in the conference," said Coach Edor Nelson in refer- ence to Hamline, Gustavus, and St. John's. “The thing that we have to lick is getting over the idea that we‘re not as good as other teams." ex- plained Nelson. "i think we'll start eliminating mistakes and l feel we're capable of exploding at any time. “Our defensive unit played a ter- rific game against Hamline, but we couldn't score. One of our problems is synchronizing the offense with the defense," said Nelson. Defensive end Allan l)e\Volf was praised by Nelson both for his de- fensive performance and his lead ership as team captain. “DeVVolf played a real fine ball game. He's doing a good job keep» ing the players fired up. and I think he’s an ideal captain. He's the kind of kid who never gives up," said Nelson. “Corky Hall played a good de- fensive game against liamline,“ said Nelson. Hall intercepted two passes from his position at defens- ive halfback. THE AUGGIE DEFENSIVE LINE prepares to stop Hemline back Dewey Anderson (30) on this play at Parade Stadium. “Steve Edmundson and Steve Nelson played beyond my expecta— tions,” said Nelson. “They did a real good job and are going to be heard about in the future. "We hope to be at full strength for the first time this year against St. John's," said Nelson. Rick Ek- strand returns along with Bruce Murray, who saw limited action against Hamline. Nelson has respect for St. John's as a football power. “They are a power team that runs right at you. They depend on execution p l a y s and don’t make any mistakes." One reason for the success of their running game is 135-pound halfback Bill Laliberte. “He‘s the one we really have to stop. Once he gets past the line of scrimmage, his good moves make hima danger- nus break-away threat. They figure he gains one yard for every pound of weight per game,“ said Nelson. “They play an eight man front and dare you to pass. They are big and tough and the problem is how to keep them out of the backfield," said Nelson in pointing out St. John's defensive formation. “They‘re not the type of team that's going to put a lot of points on the board. They keep pounding away at you and wear you down,” said Nelson. St. John's is coached by John Gagliardi, who was named national NAIA Coach of the Year in 1965, and was named to the Minnesota Hall of Fame in 1966. Gagliardi's Augs Tie Gusties 1-1 as Carlson Kicks Goal llustle was the key to the 1-1 tie between the Augsburg and Gusta- \'us soccer teams last Friday night at St. Peter. Augsburg was first on the score- board when Gary Carlson scored a goal with 12 minutes left in the first half. The Gusties tied the score at the 23 minute mark in the second half. The first half was dominated by the Auggies who were on the of» fense most of the time. The Augs» burg goal was set up when the Gustavus goalie came out from the goal to block a shot by Chuck Ol- son. The blocked shot bounced oil‘ the goalie to Carlson, who kicked it into the net. in the second half the Augsburg team was put on the defense by the Gustie offense. The Auggies thwarted five Gustie scoring at- tempts before the opposition scored. Saturday afternoon, October 4, Augsburg will host St, John's on Lake Nokomis field at 2:30 pm. This is one of the two home soccer matches this year. The second match will be against St. Thomas on October 25.

Nelson praised the student body for their early season enthusiasm. “We appreciate the fan support. We need the students to get behind us and it's real important. We hope the fans haven‘t given up on us," said Nelson. With only a tie against their record this season, St. John’s ap< pears to make good Nelson’s pre- diction that fans will see some good tough football when the two teams meet. The game will be played at Parade Stadium starting at 7:30. Coming up on the schedule is UMD, where the Auggies will be hosted October 11. “UMD probably graduated more players than any- one in the conference, but even though this is supposed to be a re- building year, they are doing real well," said Nelson. The game will be area televised from Duluth. END BRUCE WESSMAN PULLS IN one of four grabs against Ha v line’s Pipers.

Bouldslly And- Pipers Defeaf Gridders 38-0: Auggie Offense Sfuflers Agai After playing a pretty good first half, the Augsburg football squad suffered a 38-0 loss to Hamline‘s Pipers. The loss was the second straight loss for the Auggies, pull- ing their season record down to one win in four games. ‘, v S V i . AA —Fhato by B. Beardiley Anderson The first half settled down quick- ly into a tough defensive battle. Hamline knocked at the door re- peatedly, but stalled twice within the 20 yard line as the Auggie de- fense stiffened and held on fourth down plays. IN THE SECOND half, however, the defense just plain tired out. Hamline r u n n i n g backs Dewey Kennedy, Rick Anderson and Terry Larson picked holes in the Auggie line behind great blocking. The Augsburg offense didn't help much, giivng up the ball too often to the Pipers too close to the Auggie goal line. The Pipers gained 465 yards on the ground; the defense couldn‘t really be blamed, though, for that figure. With five minutes remaining in the game, the Augsburg offense had controlled the ball for only ten plays in the last two quarters. The defense got little rest the second half, and the strain was just too much for a team with as little depth as Augsburg has. Halfback Jed Knuttila s c o r e d first for Hamline, on a five yard pass from quarterback Larry He- gerle. Ted Fleener made the extra point to give the Pipers a 7-0 lead. —nmahy Bodunha JIM AGRE CONTROLS THE BALL in action at Gustavus last Friday night.

Siudenf Body Expresses Opinion by Emmett Smith How successful is Augsburg Col- lege at fulfilling its avowed goal as a Christian community in an urban setting? A valid question, best to be answered from the students' point of view, if there is anything to the notion that students and their useful role in society are what education is all about. In the course of many conversa- tions among students were heard a variety of p r a i s e and criticism (apart from a number of rather be- wildered freshmen who wondered what a Christian community might be). Praise came generally for the college's opportunities, situated as it is, and criticism stemmed from the school's failure to fully realize these advantages. BEFORE GOING into the opin- ions expressed. something must be said about the motives for criti- cism. Many who opinionate, of course, are sincerely committed to ideals of social action which have replaced in measure the goal of personal success which character- ized the so-called "silent genera- tion" of the fifties. Some, however, are p ass i ve, playing the increasingly discredit ed role of junior establishmentar- ian, out for themselves, willing to tolerate in most cases, and yet none too concerned about the inequali- ties that continue to exist in the "Age of Aquarius." On the oppo- site end of the spectrum are the totally negative, completely unsat- isfied nihilists who would gripe in heaven because there might not be a gold frame around it. Of some of these it could be said they are in- dulging in a little delayed adoles— cent revolt, being away from Mama and Papa for the first time. Among favorable c o m m e n t 5 many say Augsburg “has a really big chance to work on urban prob- lems.” The Crisis Colony of last spring and summer is referred to as the sort of program Augsburg should be increasingly involved in. Others cite the Project Friendship in which Augsburg students work with groups of neighborhood chil- dren. Programs of service on the order of Crisis Colony and Project Friendship, involving both social action and a deeper awareness of urban problems, are the sort of commitments many students seek and would like to see expanded. THE Augsburg Echo Vol. LXXXVI Dedication, Symposium Lec’rures Top Cen ennial eekflEven’rs by Linda Hansen One of the highlights of centen- nial week will be the dedication of the City of Augsburg Room on Sunday, October 12, at 3 pm. Add- ing to the entertainment of the ded- ication, the heraldry of trumpets will be heard as Steven Gabrielson accompanies on the organ. Dr. Bur- ton P. Fosse will give an introduc- tion to the history behind the City of Augsburg Room, and Dr. George W. Forell will follow up with an address on Article XVI of the Augsburg Confession. This confession is the basis for all Lutheran doctrine and is a part of all church constitutions. It was written in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530 by Phillip Melanchton, and signed by 20 followers of Luther. Article XVI deals with a Chris- tian's relationship to the govern- ment, and specifically with consci- entious objection. TWO GRANTS will be presented to the college at the dedication. Mr. A. Herbert Nelson will present a $25,000 grant from Lutheran Bro- therhood and General Lief J. Sver- drup will donate $10,000. Dr. Preus, vice-president of the ALC, will give the rite of dedication. On Tuesday and Wednesday, Oc- tober 14 and 15, a symposium con- sisting of three lectures will be held. The theme of the symposium is “Man and Education in a Revo- lutionary Age." This symposium is the fifth in a series of symposia given during our centennial year. Other symposia have dealt with the city, world starvation, man and his values, and ecology. The first lecture will be given on Tuesday, October 14. at 8 pm. by Dr. Carl H. Chrislock. His address Will be “Augsburg College in a Revolutionary Age." In his speech. Chrislock relates Augsburg and its traditions to its present identity. Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota, October 2, 1969 No. 4 AS FAR as broader action is con- cerned, money is certainly a limit‘ ing factor, however. One faculty member observed, “It doesn't do any good to sit in a gold mine if you haven't got the equipment to mine gold."

Augsburg’s work to recruit minority students is condemned as too limited and as being carried out on the basis of n mistaken idea of \vhat Black Amer- icans, for example, are seeking to‘ day. “Augsburg feels it will help cancel out in a generation the in- justices of three hundred years." Other concerns about the college as a community are closer to home. About on-campus activities, some wonder if it is necessary to provide a schedule of weekend entertainers as well as big name performers. The metropolitan with its many chances for entertainment, is area, said by at least a few to be suf- ficient. Others appreciate the dif- ermm Reproduction by Johan Bloomer THIS SPECIAL PHOTO IS A PRINT of a drawing which depicts the first reading of the Augsburg con» fessicn, read at St. Ann’s church in Augsburg, Germany. FOLLOWING HIS lecture, an autograph party will be held to in- itiate the sale of his book, “From Fjord to Freeway: Centennial His- tory." The bookstore will then be open for those who wish to pur- chase thc book. On Wednesday. October 15, at 9:15 a.m. Dr. Stephen J. Tonsor from the University of Michigan will give an address on “The Church Related College: Special Mission or Educational Anachron- ism 7" At 3:30 that afternoon, Dr. Kenneth W. Thompson who is the vice-president of the Rockefeller Foundation in New York, will talk about “Education for a Troubled World." There will be many interesting guests visiting Augsburg during the Centennial Week celebration. Guests include former faculty and families of earlier professors. Are riving from Norway are three des- cendants of the first president, Pro« fessor August Weenaas. They are Miss Frieda Weenaas and Mrs. Magdalene Widsteen and her son Ole. Bishop Kaare Stoylen and his wife are the delegates from the Norwegian Lutheran Church who will be attending the symposium. Bishop Stoylen will speak in chapel on Sunday, October 19. Students are welcome to attend these lectures as well as parents, friends, and faculty. Auggie Coed Sees France Candace Bergslrom. a student at Augsburg for the past two years, has now begun a year of studies at the Institute for American Universities in Aix en Provence, a university town in southern France.

WITH THE bnlnncc of commut- crs and residents, and the existence of cliques, as is the cnsc in any nominally related group of people, serious doubt is cxpr ‘cd on or» cnsion that Augsburg S l‘\'l‘ll II Ihl‘ l1" ceived understanding of the term. community according to “The place is nothing but u zoo for the ALC." To be sure students go to class together. they h i l l c d through the sumo office; but there and are are a large number of groups, and even individuals at Augsburg, pur- suing widcly divergent intcrcsts. On this basis, if true, Augsburg could be considered to have gum- totully wrong with its administra- tive specchifying about “commun- ity." There is ii certain alienation felt between mlniinistrution and stu- dents, too. A desirc was cxprcsswl in several interviews to be Illllt‘ to sit down and talk informally with the President and dczln us well as others of the Augsburg establish- ment. One student expectth in that event “nothing but the usual use tablishment gum!" OTHERS FELT a warm discussion could develop and particularly degenerate into mutual I'I‘L'I'lllllllil' tion. Certainly it is proper to \‘X- pect some courtesy in u disrussmn. but fear of perhaps having to ex- press a contrary opinion is no run- son not to talk to one another. It does no good for a group of people to sit about committing philosoph- ical incest; indeed, an individuul's antagonisms can only be reinforced in such an atmosphere, with ever decreasing hope of ever surmount- ing the "generational" and "insti- tutional barriers" that bulk large in the minds of various students. In summing up, it can be said most students feel Augsburg has great opportunities, has made some effort to be active on the urban scene, and that much more needs to be done for the school to fulfill its declared role. As a community, the college is partially successful; chiefly on the circumstantial level of shared cour- ses and some on—compus activities. In light of the above‘opinions, the logical response is to ask what can be done. ('ERTAINLY the college could take steps to expand its programs of social action when and where it can. As far as community goes, a start could be made with better at- tempts to students. Some will have to start communicate between speaking out; others will need to give up some of the ideological neg- ativism that is so popular on to- day's campus. Also, a little intelligence could be cxcrciscd, as well as a lot of restraint: it might be wnu- to give up name-calling as a proof of lib. cralism.

Show moreThursday, October 2 The admissions office was thrown into a quandry with the accept— ance of Darrell Skogen‘s application for the ECHO editorship and his subsequent prominence. With his first two years and studious into-the- dorm-out~of-the-way behavior, the admissions people pleasantly and passively explained Darrell's existence to be nothing more than swamp gas. We have a photographer on this staff who lay twenty-six hours in a hospital bed in a semi-coma after rolling off a curb while he was bound with papyrus reeds for a game of “cowboys-and-Indians hide-an-go- seek." We have a photographer on this stafi' who sufi'ered a concussion when his pull-up bar broke loose and cracked him on the head. We have an associate editor who gashed her head when she tripped on the base~ ment stairs with her arms full of wet doll clothes. Twice weekly this group of coordinates gets together and, under Darrell‘s tutelage, prac~ tices making church steeples with their index fingers. When Darrell moved from northeast Minneapolis in his youth, his place of birth was fixed up and converted into a Standard Oil station. When Darrell moved to Augsburg, his parents returned to Poland, and left no forwarding address. Darrell is one of those few unfortunate per- sons who has all of his luck blowing in his face and knocking him over. When Darrell was six years old the family had an old car which just sat in the driveway. One day, while playing on the car, Darrell severely slammed his thumb in the door. Requiring immediate attention, Darrell was rushed by his parents to the hospital, where his thumb was carefully sewn back together and bandaged for protection. When he returned home. Darrell carefully got out of the car and clumsin slammed his thumb in the door again. The thumb finally healed, but not correctly, and to this day, when Darrell hitchhikes, people can‘t tell which way he's going. Many peaceful years passed and Darrell miraculously made it to college at Augsburg. Being double jointed, Darrell was unable to par- ticipate in a regular men‘s physical education class because, as Darrell explains. “Every time I try to catch something my fingers bend back- wards." So Darrell settled for a co-recreational class and impressed many an Auggie girl in his maroon and grays until it came to folk dancing. In the first half hour of a double period, Darrell twisted and broke his foot dancing to Hava Nagila, subsequently spending six weeks in a cast. Then, to make matters worse, while he was helplessly incapacitated. somebody walked away from him with his econ book two days before the final exam. Darrell would still be happy to get the book back. But Darrell shakes this all off and continues to walk under ladders, The Echo takes up a lot of the time he used to set aside for having acci- dEnts. He does manage to play center on an intramural football team, the Omegas, whose only resistance is offered on the flag stafi'. Darrell's down luck days are seemingly over. Darrell paints the picture of confidence. He defies the clouds to drop rain on him. He always walks proudly and whistles loudly. And music was heard as the Titantic went down.

BILLIARD LOUNGE THE AUGSBURG ECHO Page 3 Festival Concert First Time for Nysfedt Work by Belly Siiro Sunday, October 19, marks the performance at Northrop Auditori- um of the Augsburg Centennial Festival Concert by the Minnesota Symphony, conducted by Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, and the Augsburg College Choir under the direction of Dr. Leland Sutercn. “Academics Festival Overture" by Brahms opens this concert. Com- posed in the summer of 1880 this piece is based on the “Fox Song," and is used in this concert to help initiate freshmen. Winding up the overture is the famous “Gaudea- mus Igitur.“ SECOND ON the agenda is Ed- ispuial Pholo STANISLAW SKROWACZEWSKI ward Grieg‘s “Concerto in A Minor for Piano and Orchestra." "The concerto evokes an idyllic atmos~ pherc, alternately spirited and buo< yant, emotional and eleginc, lyric and lusty," states choir director Sateren. In Greig's concerto James John- son is featured as pinnist. Johnson is currently on the music faculty here at Augsburg. He did his undergraduate work at the University of Minnesota and received his master's degree from Julliard School of Music. He has appeared in recitals in New York City and throughout the Midwest, on television and as featured artist with several chamber music groups. Sunday's performance marks his fourth appearance with the Minne- sota Symphony. In the next work Knut Nystedt has once again combined the new and the old. The world premiere of his “Lucis Creator Optime” has the choir alternately singing, speaking and shouting. Nystedt‘s work was composed in 1968 and premiered in 1969. Greig‘s concerto was com- posed in 1868 and premiered in 1869. This symbolically s a l u t e s Augsburg's centennial celebration.

The Blugolds, however, moved downfield, grind— ing out 66 yards on 15 plays, paced by the magnificent running of Bauer. Bauer finally scored with 2:56 left, plunging over from the one. The Auggie defense keyed on Bauer on the conversion attempt, however, and nailed him behind the line of scrimmage. The Auggies received an on-side kick as Tim Casey squirmed under three Blugolds to capture the ball. The team couldn't move the ball, though, and the Blugolds got one last chance with a minute remain- ing. Bauer threw the long bomb on a third down play, but Corky Hall intercepted deep in Auggie terri- tory. One running play ran out the clock, and the Auggies had their first win clinched. Revitalized Clausen an As in the past two years, the Auggie football team enters the conference football season with an even record after two games with Wisconsin opponents. At this point in the season, however, it seems safe to say that the gridders will reverse somewhat the results of the past two conference seasons. With a potentially stronger team this year than in any of the three past seasons, coach Edor Nelson can well look forward to the end of a l7»game losing streak which now stretches three MIAC seasons. over After the Eau Claire game sev- eral questions seem to be answered. Jim Robinson is ready to take over the halfback spot in the backfield to help Bruce Murray. Robby Ilense, led by Murray, Nelson, Spells Irouble showed his blinding speed several times, and even broke away for 80 yards and a touchdown against the Blugolds. With Murray as a threat both inside and out the Auggies have a one-two punch in the back- field which will be tough for any other conference team to match. At quarterback both Jim Clau- scn and Bruce Nelson moved the team well. Clausen‘s year of expe- rience has matured him enough as a quarterback that he is able to complete the pressure plays with a much greater frequency this fall. For example, Jimmy hit Bruce Wessman with a ~11 yard scoring pass while scrambling for his life eight 'yards behind the line of scrimmage.

And when he was through speaking, the liberal social activist was acknowledged with a standing ovation from practically the entire floor. There had been some doubt be- fore his speech as to how the civil rights leader would come across to the largely conservative protestant delegation. They showed him that they were behind him leastwiso in spirit. But spirit isn't enough. I prayed for starving children in Bi- afro, for example, then watched them die from a lack of food. We must be “prophets of protest" if we wish to see changes take place. ACCORDING TO Abernathy, the church today spends its time and money “caring for the dying and saving the perishing. It's like we’re trying to put out a fire by fanning away the smoke. We must go be- yond the efi'ects and dig for the causes of the problem. The time is now for the church to become vigi- lant in a time when complacency is the thing." Abernathy went on to say that “A quiet church is a handicap for those people who look to it for moral hope." The church in the world and the United States in the world were the two areas of concern in Aber- nathy's speech. Yet, the thing that concerns many people is that we should ever need to have people like Abernathy spending all their time traveling and fighting to tell other people and even the church what is logically right and necessary.

We in the U.S. have a reputation of coming through when the chips are down. But only when the chips are down and the last card has been played do we become concerned.

We are all sons and daugh- ters of God; he is our father and we are all brothers. The world can— not be saved until all around, black and white, rich and poor, can be saved. Black is beautiful and it's beautiful to be black but black and white together is even more beau- tiful." Abernathy concluded his t a l k with two pleas. The first is that we admit Red China into the United Nations “50 that the problems of the world can be solved around the conference table. No Christian can be opposed to sitting down at a conference table to end war. No Christian can be for war. I have no sympathy for Communism and ath- eism but also I have no patience with a democracy that preaches one thing and practices another." HIS SECOND plea was to end the war in Vietnam. “Tell America about the godless, senseless, un- winable war in Vietnam. If we fol- low the policy of taking an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will son become a society of blind and toothless people." I watched a man in front of us who, with the beginning of Aber- nathy’s speech, began his tape re- corder and left. About one third of the way through the speech, the recorder ran out of tape and the loose end flapped uselessly on the spinning reel. When the man, prob— ably a hell-fire preacher from Des Moines, returned and noticed his mistake, there was nothing he could do to correct it. Abernathy would have loved to have seen that. “Blessed is he who has not seen or heard for he can yet be called a Christian." JOHN SWON THE COLLEGE SHIELD 33 I 3573 Show less

Show moreThursday, September 18 Book Review THE AUGSBURG ECHO Page 3 Carl Chrislock Completes Work by Darrell Skogen “Augsburg could adopt a bold stance toward change without re- jecting its loo-year heritage." With these words Dr. Carl Chris- lock fittingly ends his centennial history of Augsburg College, a book which has been entitled “From Fjord to Freeway." Chrislock is a professor of his- tory who has taught at Augsburg since 1952. After earning his B.A. at Augsburg in 1937, Chrislock be- gan working for his masters de- gree at the University of Minne- sota. He completed that work in 1947, going on to earn his Ph.D. in 1955 at the same university. He has served as head of the history department, but the responsibili- ties of that position were tempor- .arily removed when the college commissioned him to write the cen- tennial history. Since his major area of interest has been Minnesota in the late 1800’s and early 1900's, Chrislock is especially qualified to complete the research necessary for the book. The historian has not con- tented himself to look at Augsburg separately; rather he has pictured the growth of Augsburg as an in- stitution in close relation to the surrounding Minneapolis area. At a time when Augsburg claims to be committing itself so intensely to its urban setting, this approach by the author makes the book a very interesting account indeed. The twelve chapters of the book present a chronological approach to the one hundred years of Augs- burg’s existence. The reader imme- diately notices Chrislock’s subtle sense of humor: the opening chap- ter is entitled “In the Beginning.” In this short chapter Chrislock lays the groundwork for the thesis of his book. That thesis is that Augsburg, al~ DR. CARL CHRISLOCK ways open to change, has gradually evolved from a unique three part institution with a preparatory school (academy), college and sein- inary into a modern American col- lege. In the transition the Chris- tian commitments and orientation of the school have always been un- der close surveillance. The author begins by explaining how Augsburg finally located itself at its present site under the direc- tion of the first President, August Weenaas. He then discusses Georg Sverdrup and Sven Oftedal's con- ception of the school as “cssential- ly,” if not exclusively, a “divinity school." This concept helped Sver- drup and Oftedal decide to lead Augsburg out of the U n i ted Church, which had been formed in 1890. In the process, many of the re- sources of the school were lost for~ ever to St. Olaf College in North- field, including much of the library and a generous endowment fund. Augsburg fell under the protective wing of the Lutheran Free Church, which did not relinquish its control over the school until its merger with the American Lutheran Church in 1963. Under George Sverdrup the school began to move more closely toward the "modern" college concept. Co- education was introduced, while the academy ultimately failed. When some people questioned the direc- tion Sverdrup was t a k i n g the school however, the President could cite paragraphs from a 1906 report his father had made which called for improvement of the school's academic program. Because of all the talk in past years about inter-synodical unity within the Lutheran Church, it was extremely interesting to read that the appointment of Bernhard Chris- tensen as President in 1938 was dis- puted b e c a u s c of Christensen's strong stance. in favor of close co» operation with other Lutheran syn- ods. It would seem t h n t m u c h change in thought has taken place in the past 30 years; at any rate, Christensen received the position and served cupiibly until his rctirc- mcnt in 1963. Under his leadership the school finnlly received accredi- tation from the North Central As- sociation. In more recent years, Chrislock concludes, A u g s b u r g has been searching for "‘ ing . . . world,‘ and ‘new concepts of man new ways of learn» new formulations of the and society.

This is only possible Lowem‘els Anfhology Combines 108 Proi‘esiL Poems by American Aufhors by Steve Frantz Walter Lowenfels recently ex- pressed the idea that “Poetry (or any other art) relates to the ques- tion: What time is it?" In his an- thology, “The Writing on the Wall; 108 American Poems of Protest," Lowenfels answers the question: "'Oh dear! Oh dear!’ said the White Rabbit as he looked at his watch, ‘how late it’s getting.‘ " The collection of poets chosen for the anthology by Mr. Lowenfels is a somewhat diverse one with a common message. The classic poets, like Sandburg, Dickinson, Lindsay and Cummings are combined with poets of the nineteen-fifties and sixties. Ferlinghetti, Ginsberg and John Beecher add their ideas to those previously established by Ezra Pound and Whitman, and form a near-perfect union. AS WELL. LOWENFELS knows no color blindness. Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen and Leroi Jones add a vitality that can hardly be equated to tokenism. Nrther, Chief Joseph, a defeated Ne: Peree chieftain, and Peter LaFarge bring an in-depth understanding of the “Vision of a Past Warrior" in a chapter appropriately titled "Jus— tice Denied.” Along with these writers, the au» thor includes many lesser known poets in his work. These poets, for the most part, seem to lack only a reputation—not skill. One such ex- ample is Minnesotan Robert Bly. Although he has published a small number of translations and poetry volumes, he is known primarily among English teachers, poetry bufl's and citizens of Madison, Min- nesota. Bly and other poets have much to say. and it is to Lowenfels credit that be included them. In this anthology the author has arranged the poems in t o e i gh t chapters to develop the theme. “Let America he America Again," for instance, is an introductory chap- ter that has a basic anti-establish- ment-imgeneral theme. The second chapter deals with the military complex. A Pete Seeger poem re— cording a {actual event, “Waist Deep in the Big Muddy," forms the title for this chapter. “ORPHANS,” the third chapter, is directed at youth and at the youth movement. Chapters fou r and five then deal with being black, red, Jewish or simply in a minority of thought. A section on love, which most anthologies seem to possess, is also included in “Tape Found in a Bat- tle." This chapter deals more with love in many of its human aspects and includes very active poetry. Next, the seventh chapter is a chapter about alienation which is finally followed by the concluding chapter, entitled “Which Side Are You On?" The anthology was published in August by Doubleday and costs $4.95 in a hardcover and $1.95 in a paperback version. Its message is one of change: “. . . we are the first generation absolutely certain that tomorrow will not be like today. If it is, our country is heading toward a silent stoic graveyard." with an end to the system that makes a better life impossible. The people must come before capital. The capitalists have been universally condemned by thinkers and philosophers and by the strug» gling masses who have taken up arms against capitalism all over the world. People in Asia, Africa and Latin America have fillITC'I'L'll under the international policy of capitalism known as imperialism. Misery of the people, capitalism is unprecedented and brutal and morc difficult to identify because, unlike slavery, capitalism disguises itself as a natural system that is in har- mony with the laws of nature. Capitalism in the United States was constructed out of the slave labor of black people; out of geno» ride of Indians: out of the forced labor of Chinese and the cxploitzi. tion of poor whites. The world now has the possibility of creating a new system that will give justice to people in the economic, political and social realm. Black people in the United States are now being subjected to a neo-colonialist pol- icy under the warden Nixon admin» istrution called black capitalism. Using the slogan of “Black Pow- cr" as a mask for this tn-uchcrous policy, warden Nixon tries to tor- pedo the block libcration struggli- by buying oil~ the black lmurgcoisic and black opportunists and cultural nationalists who :irc sutisiictl “ilh crumbs from the mastcr's table.

Show moreThursday, September 18 New Admissions Head Johnson Wants Far-Rea by Becky Foss As students r e t u r n e d to thc Augsburg campus this fall, they were greeted by teachers and ad- ministrators, new and old alike. A familiar face to many was that of Mark Johnson of Admissions. John- son, as of September 1, is serving Augsburg in a new capacity: it is as head of Admissions. In response to his proonition, he said that he felt the added respons- ibility, but was also excited with the possibilities for expanding his department. WHEN ASKED what his goals Willam Smith Joins Augsburg Political Science Department William W. Smith, a former can- didate for 5th ward alderman, will join the faculty of Augsburg on a part-time basis as a consultant and adjunct instructor in political sci- ence and sociology. He is currently the assistant administrator of the Pilot City Health Center of the North Side, and he recently re~ signed his post as the third \nc president of the Hennepin County Democratic Party. In the fall, he will be working with Carlyle Dewey in political Sci- once 22, and in the winter he will offer a three-credit seminar that will be part of both the sociology department and political science department. The seminar will be e n title (I “Power Development in the Inncr City" and will examine community organizations within low income urban areas. His duties in the spring have not been settled yet, but he will be available to advise students on in- dependent study in this area for the entire year. were, hc felt that the biggest aim of admissions should be develop- ment of an extensive program to attract students desiring a small, liberal arts college offering com- inunity experience and a Christian background. One of his prime ex- amples of opportunities afforded to students desiring involvement in their community was the new Cen- ter for Student Development. Pro- grams such as this offer extra en- richment not to be found on a large campus. These characteristics are often lost on prospective students and their families if they only “drive by" the grounds, because the great- est advantages of Augsburg lie in her faculty and student body. Be- cause many miss the true life of the college, Johnson feels a need for a more extensive and far-reach- ing program that will present a broader picture of Augsburg‘s pos- sibilities and draw the prospective Auggie into a closer contact with the atmosphere that is Augsburg. One gathers a clear and vibrant picture of A u g s b u r g from Mr. Johnson's attitude. The college. in THE AL'GSBURG ECHO his estimation, offers so much morc in spirit and total cxpcricncc than is found in larger colleges and uni» vcrsities, including the sneaky ad- vantage of being located next to the University of Minnesota cani‘ pus, which ofi'crs many addcd ben- cfits. YET. WITH all of its admirable qualities. Augsburg alTords John— son a sense of frustration because so little is known about the college. The heavy job of introducing our college to the rest of the country is his primary concern. Necessary to his program, how- ever, is participation of the stu- dents. Thcy arc the best salesmen. Now that he is the head officer, he is beset by much paperwork: but he finds great satisfaction in devising plans to improve the Augsburg image. WHEN ASKED if he had any plans beyond admissions, Mr. John- son gave tlie impression of being completely satisfied in his chosen field. With his ambition and plans for the department, the “new look" of Augsburg should go far. l‘u cc 5 ching Program MR.

A long season ended with a 420 loss to Concordia, a 44-7 loss to Macalcster, and n heartbreaking 28-20 loss to St. Thomas. The loss to the Tommies sank the Auggies into last place in the MIAC with a 0-7 record. The Tommies escaped the cellar with a 1-6 record. Over- all, the Auggies had their third straight 1-8 season. The loss to Concordia was the fifth of the Auggies‘ MIAC season. Mark McNelIy scored the first Cob- ber touchdown on a three yard run. In the second period the Cobbers added 22 more points. Les Perry ran seven yards for one score, caught a pass from quarterback Paul Linde for 56 yards and an- other score, and kicked two extra points while adding two more on a run. Linde scored the other touch— down on a 24 yard run. In the third period, backup quar- terback Dale Hertel raced 11 yards for another score, and Perry‘s kick made the score 35-0. Two minutes later, just barer into the fourth period, Bob Perry caught a nine yard pass from Hertel for the last Cobber score. Les Perry kicked the conversion to end the scoring in the 42-0 game. Mac struck early with a trick play of sorts, and a quick Auggie comeback wasn't good enough to save the game. On the first play from scrimmage, Mac benched reg‘ ular quarterback Carter Hill, the top passer in the conference, and put linebacker Dave Kumlien at that Spot. He promptly threw a pass which Neil Blatchford caught at the ten and raced over the goal line with. Kumlien kicked the extra point.

Gary Syverson’s kick gave th e Auggies a momentary 7-7 tie. Then the Macalester ofl'ense went into high gear, and the game was as good as over for the Augs. Run- ning back Terry Grafi' started find- ing holes all over the field, and ran through a lot of tackles on his own. Grafi‘ ended with 311 yards on the ground, a conference record for one game. Grafi' scored the s e c on d Mac touchdown on a 35-yard run. Kum‘ lien converted, and Mac led 14-7 at the end of the first period. In the second period, though, the Scots scored 22 points to put the game out of reach. Grafl' broke three tackles to make a 51 yard touch- down, while fullback Tom Water- man scored twice on jaunts of one and 10 yards. Hill ran for one con- version, while Kumlien kicked two extra points. In the third period the final scor- ing of the game came when Grafi‘ plunged one yard for a score, and then Mac scored again on a safety in the closing minutes of the period to make the score 44-7. The loss to St. Thomas was prob- ably the most disappointing of the year.

With one minute gone in the sec- ond period, the Auggies scored on a diving three yard pass reception by Bruce Wessman. Quarterback Nelson then hit Corky Hall with another pass in the end zone for the conversion. The 14-7 lead lasted into the third quarter.

Harriers End Third Behind Johns, Scots in Conference by Terry Blue St. John's literally “ran away" with its 5 e c on d straight MIAC cross country title two Saturdays ago at St. Cloud. The Johnnies fin- ished with 19 team points while second place Macalester and third place finisher Augsburg registered 47 and 64 points respectively. St. John's displayed superb team balance in capturing the first four place finishes plus ninth place. It is this balance that makes the Johnnies a cinch to win the Novem- ber 8 District 13 NAIA meet and also makes them a leading contend- er for the national NAIA small col- lege title later in the month.

Jerry Beckman finished eighth, Tom Brandt came in tenth, Tim Peter- son placed eleventh, Gary Wilde twelfth, and Rick Johnson rounded out the top five by finishing twen- ty-third. Although somewhat dismayed at finishing behind Macalester after beating them at the St. Cloud In- vitational one week earlier, coach Howie Pearson was nonetheless pleased with his youthful team’s performance.

Show moreThursday, November 6 Entertainment at Augsburg Second Concert Treats Audience Pat Paulsen and the First Edi- tion headlined the second concert of the fall at Augsburg, and while the concert might not have been one of the greatest financial suc- cesses ever, the performance of the artists involved was flawless. The crowd was treated to an excellent performance by the First Edition, and Paulsen was at his droll best. The First Edition began with one of their hits, “But You Know I Love You," and in the course of the evening added well-done rendi- tions of "Ruben James" and “What Condition My Condition Was In." Lead singer Kenny Rogers spar- kled on “Sunshine” (the flip side of current release “Ruben James") and "Ruby." Mary Arnold capti- vated the audience with her per- formance of“AIl That I Am,"while Terry Williams was featured in a beautiful song entitled “Baby Without You." THE GROUP CAME across well, mixing a fantastic singing effort with an at~home kind of presenta- tion which made the first part of the concert a complete success. The word play between lead guitarist Ken Vassey, Rogers, Williams and drummer Mickey Jones provided a receptive atmosphere for the group, and as a result the tunes played by the group were received enthus- iastically. After a short intermission, Pat Paulsen began his portion of the concert with an original film pro- duction. In the film, Paulsen began his sports career with a training program featuring eating, drinking beer, eating, exercising in between eating, and more eating. After ten minutes of “exercise” Paulsen had gained weight. —Phoio by Breamer PAT PAU LSE N Paulsen then appeared on stage, carrying a guitar because "my zip- per is broke.” The comedian at- tempted to sing some Paulsenian folk songs, of which the best was: “I was standing in the street When a very ugly man came up And tied his horse to me."

Brass and Cabaret Presents Convocation by Scott Thysell Electric sax a capella, a touch of baroque, blues and bossa nova, plus wailing brass, fine solos, and a human calliope highlighted the October 29 convocation featuring the Neophonic Brass and the Cab- aret singers. The first section of the program was reserved for the Neophonic Brass. Greg Lewis was in fine form vocally on “More and More," fol- lowed by a frenzied Mike Savold organ solo, and fine attacks by the trumpets and trombones. "SOMEWHERE," fro m “West Side Story,” was the next song. The French horn and trumpet sections were predominant in John Eids- voog’s arrangement of the score. Next came Greg Lewis‘ arrange- ment of "Remember," which sur- rounded a brass ensemble 5 c o r 2 with trombone solos. “Norwegian Wood" closed the first section of the program with a bang. Eidsvoog played a varitone solo: a varitone is an electrifying device, used by Eidsvoog on a tenor sax, which pro- duces unique sounds and allows two octaves to be played at once.

He went on to say that you have to have votes to win elections—“except in Chicago it doesn't really matter." He then protested that he was through with politics. Paulsen now is interested in ath» letics, something he picked up at Agnes P. Rutherford High School, where he was a “four-letter word." He played center. but the quarter- back had cold hands. He bccame a quarterback, but one day he was hit on the right leg by a 250 pound tackle and on the left log by n 1240 pound guard, so “I become :1 split end." In a question session, Pnulson was asked if he was married. and answered, “Yes, but I'm not fussy." \Vhen asked what the turning point of his political campaign was, Paul- sen answered, “What kind of bus- ketball do you play around here anyway?"

Drama Department Presents Successful First Production by Cornelia McCoy This last week the Augsburg drama department presented its first production of the season, on- titled “The Madwoman of Chail- lot" by Jean Giraudoux and trans- lated by Maurice Valency. The play was directed by Dr. Esther Olson, a member of the National Collegiv ate Players. The play itself has a hardly dis- cernible plot and contained much humor merely for humor's sake, but this does not keep the play from being enjoyable. The cast as a whole did a good job but certain members of the cast made the play really successful. THE MOST outstanding cast member was undoubtedly Margit Livingston, who made the title role believable whereas such a person as the Countess is very hard to be- lieve. She brought out the true madness of Countess Aurelea. Another outstanding portrayal was that of Richard Cottrell who played the ragpicker. The most memorable part of the play was Cottrell's explanation of the change of the world from good to evil. Mery Muhlbradt, a freshman, made Irma the waitress a truly ex- citing character. one that all the men in the audience would fall in love with. For a freshman, Mery did a surprising job as Irma. THE PARTS of Mine. Constance and Mme. Gabrielle were brought into focus by Sandy lIagcr and Na< dine Emerson. Sandy brought out the insanity of Mme.

Lundgren paced the Auggies’ rushing attack in his first con— ference game as replacement for iniured Bruce Murray. THE AUGSBURG ECHO by Ken Anderson Rated the pre-season favorite to win the MIAC football champion- ship, Hamline provides the next opposition to Edor Nelson‘s squad, as both teams will be looking for their first conference win of the season. Despite the opening loss to Gus- tavus Adolphus, according to Nel- son, there were a number of out- standing individual performances that provided the highlights of the game, and all will be strong factors against Hamline. PLAYING IN his first confer— ence game, freshman Bill Lundgren returned a punt 59 yards for a touchdown, and substituted for in< jured Bruce Murray at left half- back. “Lundgren carried the load for us. We‘re thinking of shifting him to another position as we have to find a place for him. He’s a ‘hard- nosed‘ kid and is going to develop into an outstanding player,” said Nelson in reference to Lundgren's performance. Freshmen linebackers Steve Ed- mundson and Steve Nelson also play big roles in Nelson's plans for Hamline. “They’re big kids and they'll be starting as we have to stop Hamline‘s ground game. They‘re capable kids and are going to be good. I’m real happy with their defensive play," said Nelson. “TOM BERKOWITZ and Rolf Nestingen played outstanding de- fensive games against Gustavus," said Nelson. “Berkowitz was in the Gusties' Strong First Half Upsets Gridders in Opener Fumbles and interceptions in the first two periods gave Gustavus a 20-0 edge which the Auggic foot— ball team could never regain as the Gusties won the conference season opener 33-12. The Augs, playing without star halfback Bruce Murray, got into trouble right away when Jim Clau- sen's first pass was intercepted by Warren West of the Gusties and returned to the Auggic 40‘ Twelve plays later the Gusties moved the ball across the goal line, scoring on an eight yard run by Tim Dahl- berg. The snap from center on the Soccer Squad Loss to Toms in First Game Augsburg dropped its opening soccer game to St. Thomas, 5-3, despite three goals by senior Chuck Olson. St. Thomas led 2—1 at the half. but a quick scoring flurry knotted the score at 3-3 with about 15 min» utes left in the half. The Tommics scored two quick goals to put the game on ice, however. Friday the Auggics travel to Gustavus to meet the Gusties in a 7:30 game. Gustavus, as usual, will have a strong team. The Gusties were undefeated last year, but, like the Augs, were disqualified at the end of the season for using incli- gible players. Team captain Gary C a r l s o n hopes for a strong showing from the Augsburg soccer team. He said that the team has been playing well and h u s tl in g continually. “With teamwork we should have a chance to win," said Carlson. extra point attempt was bad, and the Gusties settled for a momen- tary 6-0 lead. LATE IN THE first period the Auggics were moving close to Gas- tavus territory when a fumble near midfield was lost to the Gusties. Although the Gusties couldn‘t move the ball, the Augs fumbled on the very next series. Dahlberg and Rick Webb moved the ball down to the 12 yard line; on third down Brian Robb raced into the end zone with 14:20 remaining in the third period. Rick Jaeger’s conversion gave the Gusties a 13-0 lead. Later still in the second period, another fumble, this time by run- ning back Jim Robinson, gave the Gustavus griddcrs a first down at the Augsburg 43. chb hit end Scott Hansen with a 25 yard pass, and Jim Gehrke then raced 15 yards to give the Gusties a first down at the three. West plunged the final three yards, with Jaeger converting again. With just under five minutes re- maining in the period, Mike Pol- kowske of Gustavus punted from his 26 yard line. Don Tangen field- ed the punt, and handed the ball to freshman back Bill Lundgren, who raced down the right side of the field behind beautiful blocking to return the punt 59 yards for the Auggics' first score. Gary Syver- son’s kick failed. and the half-time score was 20—6. THE THIRD period was all Gus- tavus, with West 5 c o r i n g twice more. The first touchdown came on a 36 yard pass from Webb, while the second came on a one yard plunge. Jaeger converted on the last touchdown to give Gustavus a 3345 advantage. The fourth q u a r t e r remained scoreless until under four minutes were left. Jim Clausen capped a 67 yard drive by rolling around right end eight yards to score. Clausen ran for 23 yards himself on the drive, completing a pass to Bruce Wessman for 21 more yards in that final drive. It was too little, too late, however, and the Augs lost a heart-breaking season-open- er. Gustavus out-rushed the Aug- gies 310 to 70, but the Auggies had a slight advantage in the air, 145 to 93. The Gusties ran 93 ofi'ensive plays to 65 for the Augs, though, and dominated most of the rest of the statistics as well. Lundgren was the top Augsburg rusher, gain- ing 35 yards on 12 carries. Bruce Nelson paced the Auggies passing attack with seven completions in 18 attempts for 106 yards. Corky Hall caught three passes for 72 yards, tops among all receivers. Gustavus backfield all afternoon." Nelson pointed to the develop ment of the freshmen as showing much talent for the future. “The freshmen players have come a long way. They're getting a taste of the league and are developing from game to game," added Nelson. In explaining Augsburg’s game attack, Nelson said, “We know we can throw well and have tradition- ally been a passing team, but we are trying to get a balanced attack. When Murray returns, and if we quit fumbling, our ground game should solidify." DEFENSIVE TACKLE J o h n Yetter also returns after a bout with the flu and Nelson expects the squad to be at full strength for Hamline. “Hamline is a balanced team. If they can't beat you on the ground, they go to their passing game. They are solid right down the line, and have an outstanding backfield," said Nelson in reference to Ham- line’s strength. Head coach Dick Mulkem of Hamline points to his team's high Thursday, September 25 rating as a disadvantage. “Every- one likes to knock ofi the top team. Augsburg always plays good foot- ball and I expect another tough game with them. "THE QUALITY of the league as a whole is up, and there are days when anyone can knock any other team off. It's a ‘cannibaldeague' where everyone ‘chews' each other up. There will be a lot of frustrat- ing moments for the coaches," said Mulke'rn in regard to the over-all balance of the conference. "The basic part of our attack is the ground game, though it de- pends on how the opposing defense plays us. We like to run, but feel we have potent receivers,” said Mulkern. The big loss to Hamline was the injury which will keep guard Craig Strane out the entire season. “Strane is the best guard I've ever coached, and the pro scouts rated him the best in three states," said Mulkern. The game starts at 2 pm. and will be played at Parade Stadium, Augsburg’s home field. Johnnies Beat Harriers 18-38 It was a disappointing weekend as the Auggie harriers fell to St. John’s 18-38. Captain Tom Brandt. however, called the meet a good test for the Auggies, mentioning that the experience would help the Auggies when conference tourna- ment time rolls around.

Now that food director Carl Stromer has reverted to the policies of his predecessor, the Auggie students have compla- cently settled down to their daily meals with a great amount of gratification. Major complaints which had been resounding through- out the Commons had been that seconds had been suspended and that the lunch-time sandwich line had been abolished. While many people complained, however. few went to Stromer to find out the reasons behind the changes in the food policy. Stromer's reasoning for the changes is sensible. to say the least. His basic philosophy is to cater to the mil.]()l'lt)'..':i\lfi' intent is to feed, and to feed Will. I mean good. nutritious food." Starting from this point. Stromer reasons that if the first portions of a meal are larger. then seconds become unnec- essary. He sees several problems with seconds. including the extra strain on the hired help when 200 people come back at every meal; also. there is the unfairness of people butting into line to get their seconds. Concerning sandwiches, it seems reasonable to agree with his argumcnt that the sandwich line serves a minority of the student body. Further, 300 of the 600 board plan students are freshmen, and would not miss the service since they had never experienced it. And finally. the lunch room has been short two people: another shortage would be created by locking one cook into the lunch line. Stromer refuses to hire second-rate help; is that a sin? And of course the Augsburg bugaboo must be considered —lack of money. Meat prices right now are 15 to 20 per cent higher than they were in April, for example. but the food service has to work within the budget allowed it by the treas- urer's office. And some businesses on this campus plan budgets before the fall back-to—school rush. So far. Stromer has utilized the menus which have been used here in the past. He has. however, made important changes in purchasing policies, switching suppliers on many products, always with the best interests of the students in mind. As Stromer concludes. “We are going to work toward improvement where and when we can." Perhaps Stromer’s only mistake has been one that many people seem to make with Augsburg students; he assumed that the intelligent kids on the Augsburg campus could adapt to changes which, in the long-run, will provide an even better food service for the board plan students. Just another case of over—estimation, I guess. —D.S. The Phrase Game One year after the Democratic Convention. and several months into its period of reaction. it is interesting to note the catch-all phrases which have developed in the ranks of the end groups of both the left and the right. Since the “McCarthy era" the right has had its share of favorite generalities, but now with the rise of the “McCarthy movement." the left has also been developing its trite epigrams. The right. of course, h: ' - ‘ays loved the phrase “darling of the left." This sounds dignified and can be used at Fourth- ot—July rallies, picnics or in “National Review." “Commie pinko" began its reign as a favorite anthem in the fifties. Thanks to SDS, the Beatles. Simon and Garfunkel and many other “treasonous” groups, who probably even favor sex edu- cation. this phrase has been altered to “long-haired-commie- pinklo»hippie.” This line of trivia is especially effective at re- viva 5, Finally, on the right (right not necessarily implying cor- rectness) we find a new development—flag fiyers. These peo— ple come on under the phrase “our country—dove it or leave it" and doubtlesst feel the weight of responsibility for having a monopoly on the truth. These people seem to be most promi- nent at drive-in theaters. The left also has its share of insidious maxims. “Capitalist pig," for instance. has always been popular. but lately the cap- italist portion has been retired so as to only imply habits such as eating corn. Also. “fascist dog" is rising quickly to a haven of “oldies but goodies." This is simply one development in a series that included the demise of the Smothers Brothels pro» gram. Additionally, since the right has long compared anyone who so much as limped with his left leg to Trotsky or Lenin. the left has devised its own comparison cliches. With the ad- vent of Wallace, Stenvig and even Nixon on the right. the left has been ironing out and revitalizing old speeches of the Ger- man Feuhrer in order to compare them with the objectives of the right. This is really an old trick. The right “found” a schedule of Communist objectives long ago which has been compared to the style of politicians and programs from Roose— velt's “New Deal" to the Minnesota Free University. Perhaps when insipid phrases end. valid discussions can begin. —S.F. African Course Begins With Various Speakers The African American Institute, the Minneapolis Council for Social Studies and Augsburg College are jointly offering a three-credit course entitled “African Perspec- tives." The course will be a lZ-ses- sion course meeting on Tuesday nights from September 23 through December 9 at 7:00. The class will be held in St'len’t‘ 123 and will include a half hour presentation of materials and and io-visual aids. an hour lecture. ’I question-answer period and a half hour cotTee-(liscussion break.

Among the guests will be Charles Hamilton, who is the co-author of “Black Power" and a teacher at Columbia University; Theodore Osae of Kuniasi. Ghana. and Joseph Harris of Williamstown. Massachu- setts. The course is designed primarily to meet the needs of teachers, but interested students are invited. The content of the course will include: African civilizations. changing so- cial patterns, political organization, geography, economic development, literature and colonialism. All interested students may join the course by contacting Harlan Christianson at 3120 46th Avenue South in Minneapolis or by phon- ing him at 722-2531.
