She laments the fact that none at them was ever naughty enough to make herself re lliembel‘ed. At the end of a period or (our years. she attracted the attention of an in4 tillentlal man by her rendition oi “Cora Name". and as a result was or iered the role of Gilda in “Rigoletto” by the opera director.

Another article in the “The Gus- tilvian Weekly." which Is particularly interesting is the one regarding the pageant. "The Search for the Light," which was given in the college nudito rlum last Tuesday evening, March 23. No doubt this pageant was very heau‘ tlful and very inspirational. It. was given in the interest of the advance- merit of the Mlssionlry Cause.

Production, Scheduled Friday On Friday, April 4th, a cast chosen from the Luther League will present the play, “And the Glory Forever." by H, Marie Ben- son. The play is particularly writ' ten for young people and finds its setting in a typical Lutheran cont gregation. Bob Kling and his mother had drifted far away from the influence of the church——not because they wanted to, but be' cause they no longer had enough money to continue as outwardly respectable members. But through the devoted guidance of Rev. Gardner the young people of the church are led to see that they cannot continue to call them, selves Christians and still exclude the Klings from their church, The play ends with all kneeling at the altar as the Klings are accepted back into the church. The cast includes: Beverly Orndahl, Agnes Twedt, Sam Syse, and Mario Pe- termn. Following the program in SCI' ence Auditorium the group will go to Siyertsen Recrcation Room for games, lunch, and the film, "Trial at Jerusalem". “Take Up Thy Cross" is the theme for the Luther League mid- week on Thursday, April 3rd. Several student speakers will give talk: that relate to this general Lenten theme. The Luther League "Brick Prolcct" now has reached nearly 5450.00.

Spon- sored by the Mission Society, this festival is an all-school event in its scope. The theme for the festival. “Won to Win," will be the center for the messages brought by the four speakers.

The courses scheduled at pres- ent are in the following fields: Sales, Business Administration, M e d i c i n e , Secretarial Work, Home Economics, Library, Social Work, Education, Physical Edu- cation, Music, and Christian Serv- ice. There is a special session for seniors on “How to Get a Job”. A movie sequence on aptitudes and occupations and discussion of personal types and their prob- lems will be shown. Since about 85 per cent of the population will marry, there will also be a movie on marriage entitled, “It Takes All Kinds".

(I think she seeks to find some malc?—-mail), But as my dear contemporary said, “What fools ye mortals be!" And now within the classroom do we find, An eager, but a foolish mind, As hopelessly he seeks to grasp Somc common knowledge to re mind Him of the subject of the course in which he sits.

And, now I meditate upon this sad attempt Which did defy the meter and the foot; I only hope you were not bored, Or that I did but prove myself, the Fool! How to Cut Without 3 Cut Thcre have been frequent cries of late coming from students faced With the "elimination process". In order that these students might lead a more pcrfect life Without living in fear of too many class cuts, we have devised the “scissorless systemuino cuts, We have four "colorful" foolproof methods of cutting classes Without a cut, I. The “green” way—Report of illness is most appropriate for this occasion. For such diseases as flu, bad colds, or anything else influential, there is an added benefitga free can of "health fee" juice. 1. The “black” wayV—Upon entering the classroom, joyfully bounce to the front of the room and hold a brief but pertinent conversation With the instructor and then plunge to the back row to take a seat. In the heat of discussion grease body liberally and slide out the door on hands and knees. 3. The shotgun method—oops! Sorry, we haven‘t tested this one yet. 4. The “white’I way—Just as the class is about to start, provoke one of your fellow classmates to anger. When he utters his first insult, slash back with a blackboard eraser chok full of chalk. Recruit one or two allies and commence with this smoke screcn effect. A few added comments whispered into various ears might add to the dlS‘ pcrsal of a bit more dust. At the peak of battle, dash for the door and you are free! (Precaution: This method should not be used if the classroom is above the ground floor.

Over 1,200 student musicians throughout the state will compete in piano contests, and about 450 students from the Twin Cities area competed at Augsburg on Saturday. Anyone from the primary grades through the age of twenty! one may compete in these con! tests provided they have been reg' istered by their teacher. The reg! istration fee is $1. The contestants competed in several classes begin' ning with the primary and pro— grossing to the artists. The artist group does not compete, but just performs. The students were re' quired to select one number to present from a given choice of three or four. The contest at Augsburg was held in three different rooms with 'a group of three judges in each room. The judges were piano teachers judging in any area in which none of their own stude were participating. Those who won rankings here were given cer- tificates of merit which entitle them to take part in the Ten- Piano Recital, given annually at the University of Minnesota in conjunction with the yearly con- vention of the Minnesota Music Teachers’ Association.

WADS By Audrey Wan-lid Of course we all know that Easter is the Christian spring fes' rival commemorating the Resur- rection: but did you know that to ancient Norsemen the term is de rived from Ostara, the divinity of Spring; who was welcomed in a festival of celebration on her annual return. This festival. called Ostara or Eastre (whence Easter) was especially the season of new birth: and from it arose the sym' bols of the Easter egg and of the Easter bunny. All the customs or folkway which we follow at Easl (er time had their beginnings in those ancient days. And as all customs have a beginning, we may wonder when and how Eas' ter vacation originated. Well, I don‘t know either, but as long as we're having one I'll not be particular. Happy Easter! 9.. Was I mentioning spring with all this snow on the ground? It seems that over at Morton Hall Audrey Fascia and Arlene Rein~ ertson have not forgotten that the season for making snowmen is over. They set up a miniature snowman in Beryl J ‘5 room and upon her arrival home a min' iature (.7) snowball fight ensued! ovo Here is a note of interest to some of the upper classmen: “Myrt” Olson and Paul Hoplin have announced their engage' ment. "Myrt" was a star guard on the Parkboard team last year. 099 Have you seen a robin yet? That‘s a sure sign of spring! HAPPY APRIL, FOOLS!

Prexy Trel' stad offered a door prize and about fifty students attended. When the time came for the drawing.

The first meeting on the organization was held Monday, March 10, at 8 o‘clock, to nominate officers, dis! cuss some objectives for the club, and to plan for future meetings. Oflicers elected were Richard Pearson, president: Roger John- son, vice'president', and Alice Gjudahl, secretary'treasurer. Miss Lund is the adviser for the club. Some of the objectives of the club are: I, to spoan an out! standing business student in a high school; 2, to stimulate busi' ness interest here at school; 3. to ask employers what qualities and standards they require of em ployees; 4, to investigate some of the various job opportunities. The second meeting, Monday, March 24, was in the form of a field trip to the plant and offices of the Star and Trib- une.

To Compete in Full Conference Slate '51:“ Sport Briefs By Bodenuon An unusual situation concern— ing two guys named Bill exists in the Auggie sports scene this spring. First, there is the case concern' ing Bill ' Bill has been Augsburg‘s outstanding pitcher in baseball for the past two seasons, and was destined to be one of the best pitchers in the conference this year. But because of having received money for playing in a game outside of conference play during the season last spring, Bill has been declared ineligible for competition for one year. (Bill is a senior.) Bill Kuross is the other person contributing to this unusual sit- nation. Bill won the state singles championship in tennis last spring, but will not be competing this year because he has used up the four years of athletic competition allowed under conference rules. Thus we have two exceptional athletes in school this year who will not be competing because of eligibility rules. On the brighter side of the sports picture, the prospects for this year's tennis team are very good. With the return of Pee Wee Nyhus and Sonny Knudson, both of whom will be out to win their third letter in tennis, chances are that this will be the Auggies' strongest spring sport representa' tive. Pee Wee worked at the Nicollet Field Tennis Club last summer, and played tennis every day against some of the best com— petition in the city. Sonny may be slowed down for a while because of a foot injury, but will add greatly to the team strength when he is ready to play. The baseball team started 05' cial practice in the gym March 26 , .

Sport-Elimi- Today, April 1, 1952 THE AUGSBUDG ECHO SMSW Bob Johnson Page Three Aussie Athletes Superior to M.l.A.C. Opponents; Join Midwest By Chas. Repercussions continue to rock our campus following the shocking announcement that Augsburg is severing its membership in the Min- nuon Intercollegiate Athletic Conference to join the Midwest Con- ference beginning next fall. This dramatic revelation was made known by Athletic Director Ernie Anderson late last night after a stormy session with the Board of Directors. Coach Anderson explained the decision by saying: “Pr-i- mnrilydfiachangehasbemmndeoopermitiutouseAudreyFn-asch CmmyeartorqslaeeGdiringwhoisarmybound.Girlsm dlowedto, '_r inthe"'L islbeanewertoourprlyen” BY THE WAY... SPRING? W.A.A. This past week the gang has been meandering down to the Club to bowl. By setting our own pins we get to bowl at the reduced rate of 15c a line. You bowling enthusiasts had bet- ter take advantage of this. With spring just around the corner (2') our thoughts have been turning to sports such as loftball and tennis. As soon as weather permits these will be the new activities. Until then we‘ll have to keep the rafters over in the gym ringing by playing ll'ldl’ vidual sports of our own choos' mg. Let‘s keep it all under our has until “Mr. Rubin" decides to come back to this wilderness of now. It'll give us somethmgto dream about while we're plowmg W the snow and slush. C ' and ' ' Pravda Other reasons advanced includ- ed these: tired of acne opponenm year after yur, especially in try- ing to drum up homecclning slo gens; elimination of the trip into the wilderness to ploy Concordia: looser 'i "ly rulu; more lu- crative player subsidintions; and better Twin Cities' sports cover- age. Meanwhile, basketball Captain- elect Don Reimer, refusing to play in corny Iowa, as would be re quired by joining the Midwest, plans to mnsfer to St. Thomas for his senior year of competition. Don chose the Tommies because he feels he will be able to concen- trate solely on basketball, free from female interference. To compensate for Augsburg‘s secession. College has inked a ten'year pact with the MIAC and today announced that Jim “Tiger” Kotxom has signed as head football and basketball coach! _ So long, Hamlme, Camus. and the rest! It‘s been so good to know ya! APRIL FOOL! When Old Man Winter finally melts his icy paw, the Auggies have a full spring sport schedule ahead of them. Members of the baseball team have been working out in the gym and over in the U. of M. fieldhouse for about a week. The squad has nine retum' ing lettermen from last year's team which finished second from the bottom in conference stand! ings. Graduation left big holes to be filled, especially in the infield. New men who are expected to help fill these gaps are “Swede” Swenson, Phil Gronseth and John Fredetidtson in the infield; Paul Munson, Ray Henjum, Ron Welde, pitchers, and Jerry Fuller- ton, catcher. In the conference St. Thomas and Hamline are ext pected to be two of the stronger teams. The Augs open their sear son playing Hamlin: here on April 18. This year‘s home games will be played at the Parade Stat dium and Nokomis field. ‘Edor feels that the succass of this year‘s team depends much upon the play of the frosh and new men. Dave Hagert will hcad this year‘s track entry. Other returns ing lettermen are Bob Young, Jim Hanson, and Lyle Young. New men are expected to round out the team. Two letter winners. Leon Radde and Glen Carlsen, are the only rc' turnees from last year‘s golf team. Radde will be the student coach of this year‘s team. LeRoy Nyhus will be the stu' dent coach of the tennis team. Other returning letter winners are Stan Benson and Sonny Knudson. Anyone interested in going out for any of the spring sports should report to the Athletic of- fice as soon as possible.

The Nelson'Men have tenta’ tive practice games with River Falls, but the recent weather change has dimmed the chances of these games being played, These games were to be played before the Hamline opener, Please, Mr. Sun! by Qua-t At Augsburg April is noted for two things: showers and student government elections. The showers will be dealt with by the weather man, and the students will deal with the student government. In order that you, Joe Blow College, the voter. may better bc able to cast your vote in the coming elections, I would like to present some prejudiced views on this year's student government. Looking at the student council as a hole. no slam meant of course, we see that they have done nothing particularly outstanding, With the exception. perhaps, of last fall's leadership workshop. Opinions concerning the success of even this venture varied from "a WJSIC of time" to “stimulating”. In looking for reasons for this rather lazy attitude I checked the attendance rocords for Council mcctmgs. Thcrc are twenty’eight members on thc Councrl and it [llliL‘S twenty mcm‘ hers to form a quorum. Seven times out of the last fifteen meetings the Council has failed to have a quorum and on one instance there were only eleven members there! No wonder they don't accomplish much. But there are a few faithful membch who attcnd regularly and I would like to commend Rudy Borntson for being thc only muni— bcr with a perfcct attcndancc rccord. Continuing to hmk at individual attendance figures thcrc is one mcmhcr of the Council whn has n so six meetings in a row and thcrc arc a numbcr of uthcrs \\'l[h rccnrds that come close to that. It might also be mentioned that during thc period for which the Council has attendancc ligurcs they never had a meeting with pcrfcct .ittcndancc. Taking iust Il’llS .uicndancc rccmd into account is a big hclp in explaining lhc apathetic .Itlltudu Much is found in almost all school organizations. \thn the lmdcrs of our student government fail to shuw L‘nuugh mtcrcst tn rvcn .Ittcnd the Council meetings rcgulnrly thcn how can we expect thc lcsscr lcadl‘rs to do any better“ Tl’llS would probably be A good mm In l’t‘mllltl the newly—clotted Student CUllllCll mcnibcrs 3 \\'L‘ll us the rc-clcrrcd ours. (hilt by accepting the wb of rcprcscn mg Kllt‘ll’ lclhm' studnts they are acccptmg .i rcsponsrbility t0 scn'c wisely and to the host of thcir ability. But attendance isn’t the only place where the student government is in a questionable light. In the department of finance we have a ft-w interesting figures. The money that the student body gets to spend comes right from the pocket of you and me, and because of this we have every right to question concerning how our monty is spent, When this year’s Council went into office last spring one of the first moves that they made was to send ten men on a trip to Washington to push the “wheat for India” program. While no one can deny that this was a good move as far as getting publicity for the school and a vamtion for those who went goes, we would point out that this ven- ture cost you and me, the taxpayer, two hundred and thirty dollars— and this is highly questionable. Another item that could prove to be misuse of money might be that over twenty-five dollars was spent for stationery this year. The Student Council must be doing a lot of letter writing, if nothing else. The last thing I’d like to mention under finance is the fact that the Council had to subsidize the Sophomore class to the tune of thirty dollars. Now this is not only unusual but it sets a precedent for other classes to follow. A final word concerning our chief executive, the President. I think he has done a rather good Job when one considers that up till late November and December he hadn't read the constitution enough to know that last year‘s Council set up a social fund to pay for all'school socials (what are they?) And, what other President would take the time to write up play'by'play accounts of all the basketball games? The Home Class Hears Guest Speakers 0n Marriage and Home Problem Situation Mrs. Dorothy Dyer, head of family life education at the Univ versity of Minnesota, spoke on "Psychological Adjustments in Marriage" to the class in the home on Friday, March 21. She was the first of a group of guest lec— turers to speak to the class for its study of the unit, “Ad)ust' ment in Marriage". Dr. C. R. Wall, the school th' sician, will address the group on "Biological Adjustments in Mar! riage". "How to Meet Crisis" such as death, sickness, desertion, divorce, drinking, gambling, and so forth, Wlll be presented by Rev. West» by, member of the Augsburg su- ciulogy faculty. A local pastor has been invited to address the class on “Aspects of Spiritual Ad)ustment in Mar rage and Establishing .n Chllstldn Home." Rev. Luther Strommen spent an hour With the class discussing how Christianity can be effective in a courtship and home situation. Under the direction of Miss Gada Mortensen, the class is making plans for a field trip to the St. Paul Festival of Nations. King Edor Looks to [Rebuilding] Job Mr. Edor Ndson, likeable Auggie baseball menv tor, in six years at the helm of Auggie nines, has had two state champions, one runnerup, one third, and two clubs that ended in the second dwision, In 1946. Edor‘s first year at Augsburg, his club won the title. This was followed by a runnersup shot in 1947 and a championship again in 1948. In 1949 his club placed third and in 1950 and 1951 he had those two second division clubs. Some of the most outstanding baseball players Mr. Nelson coached at Augsburg are such classy ' and Ar! Marvin, out— fielders like LeRoy Carlson and Bob Howells, stellar receivers like Bud Leak, Dave Dillon, and Kelly Rods, and pitching stars like Claire Snowmen, Red ' Onisdault. These are but a sam' pling of the many stars Augsburg has turned out under the capable direction of Mr. Nelson. infield stars as Red Brmnamanstll “b61952wa Thiswasaqunflionaikod Mob-us of Mr. Nelson recently. gie n'lts. inbaseball? Edor answered this quation by saying, “This is the year for anyone who has played some ball to p've it a try as 1952 will be a rebuilding year for Augp'e baeball." Returnees from whom Edor looks for a lot of help are Bob Hage, Jack Schwartz, Arlo Dahlager and Wayne Nebon, seniors; , Don Reimer, Henry Sechler, and Chuck Howard, letter winners. Thme fellows will form the nucleus for the rebuilding job Mr. Nelson plans this seaon. As for his Views of this year‘s baseball confer' ence race, Mr. Nelson says that on paper Hamline, Gustavus, and St. Thomas look like the teams to heat, but you can never count any team in the con» ference out as they are all always up for the Aug' DonEchofi' Call for baseball candidates Will be around March 3151. so anyone interested in trying out for the Auggie nine should contact Edor Nelson in the Athletic Office as all positions are open, and all prospects Will be welcomed.

The main entrance will be connected to the Science Hall in the place next to the switchboard. Upon entering the ground floor, one will find himself in a large reception room similar to the Student Lounge in the Science building. The main purpose of this lounge will be to entertain visitors. Off to one side of this room is an office and next to it is the Educational Methods Laboratory. The function of this room will be to teach the educa- tion students the various methods of teaching and how to apply them. Next. connected to the edu- cation room is the Audio Visual Center. Here they will keep all audio-visual equipment. Students will be able to preview all movies in this room and also the educa- tion students will be taught the use of movies in the classroom. Adjoining the other end of this room is the library classroom. The nanlt‘ designates its purpose, a classroom for teaching library students. A large part of this floor will be given over to stacks with a section reserved for the archives. Thv lirst fluur of this new budd- ing will ht- druith cntircly to thc siiidciit library.

Show moreBillings’ ’mobiles page 3 lno Jazz Festival III page 6 Judicial Council lifts election freeze By CAROL DUBOVICK Co-Edltor The Judicial Council late Monday night unanimously decided to lift the freeze on the installment of elected Sudent Body President Eric Spore and Vice President Arlene Shorts. The decision followed a three-hour open hearing and one and one-half hours of closed deliberation by the Judicial Council in its opinion announced at about 11:40 p.m., the Judicial Council stated that they found election guideline violations had taken place, but did not believe the violations warranted an overturn of the election results. They therefore decided that Spore and Shorts would take office, following a train-in period of five full school days beginning Tuesday, March 28. The Council also announced that recommendations will be made in its formal opinion concerning the election guideline violations. Monday night’s hearing resulted from the Judicial Council’s earlier decision to hear the allegations brought before them in a brief presented by Roz Nordaune at a March 18 meeting. The brief, prepared jointly by the Walter Bradley-Nick Choban and Robyn Whitbeck-Brad Elliott teams and supporters. outlined questionable campaign practices dur- ing both the primary and general elections, The brief recommended that a new election be held on the grounds that the campaign and election violations invalidated the election. It was also at the March 18 meeting that the Judicial Council froze the final election results. Spore and Shorts were scheduled to take office March 25. At the 'Monday night hearing, attended by about 60 students, Judicial Council members Margaret Anderson, Jeff Blixt, Glenda Cunning» ham, Dr. Richard Marken, Chair- person Suzy Moe and Margene Petersen heard evidence, in the form of testimony, solicited by representa- tives of Spore-Shorts, Bradley- Choban, Whitbeck—Elliott and the students who signed petitions which accompanied the brief. Judicial Council members not present at the hearing were Dr, Myles Stenshoel and Kevin Peterson, who had previously removed themselves from the council to prevent any possible bias. Dr. Keishiro Matsumoto also was not in attendance, for reasons unknown to the ECHO at press time, A time limit of one—hour was set for each team to present their case. Nordaune, representing the approxi- mately 100 students who had brought the brief before the Council, Bruce Olson, representing the Bradley» Choban team, and Denise Schafbuch, representing the Whitbeck-Elliott team, began the proceding by calling witnesses to substantiate the allega- tions made in the brief. The brief, as originally presented to the Judicial Council March 18 outlined the following nine charges: THE DEFENSE—Elected vice Presrdent Arlene Shorts [I] and PreSideni Eric Spore [c] listen to testimony at Monday night 5 open hearing Jlm Bern- stein [r] served as the Sparesnorts' spokesman and presented the defense arguments. —EC~C‘ pth’USCi Car: Socc.

Shore-Shorts ticket. —persona| violations of posted school policies, specifically parking violations, by the Spore-Shorts team. —neg|igence in exploring conse- quences of a fundraiser. stuff by the Only four of these allegations were raised at the hearing. in the process of proving the allegation that intense peer pressure was used to influence votes, Kris Peterson and Denise Karalis, re- ceptionists at the College Center desk, were called by Nordaune to testify. Peterson stated, that while working, she observed Spore milling around the election table for about 10 minutes on the day of the final election. Karalis testified that she observed Cindy Hill, an Urness Tower Resident Assistant (RA) and Spore-Shorts supporter, and an unidentified friend, lingering around the election table for about 45 minutes. She said Hill sat in the main lounge and confronted people as they approached the election table to vote Rachel Koski. also an Urness Tower Fl.A.. and freshmen Peggy Schnee~ wind and Frank Dickson testified to intense pressure and intimidation they experienced in Urness Tower during the campaigning. In the cross examination of Koski, Schneewind and Dickson, directed by Jim Bernstein, spokesman for the Spore-Shorts team, it was revealed that no physical threats had ever been directed to the witnesses by campaign supporters. According to Dickson, it was "feelings" and a "domineering atmosphere" which prevailed in Urness Tower. Hill, called to testify by Bernstein, stated that she did not say anything to influence voters during the time she was near the election table. The remainder of the allegations were pointed at the decisions made by Election Chairman Dan Larson during the election period. According to the brief, partisan workers had been placed behind the election table to help with the voting procedure. Explaining how he selected persons to work behind the election table, Larson stated that he tried to find persons who were nonpartisan. He admitted, however, that he had to resort to allowing partisan persons help with the balloting during rush periods.

Show moreAdjusted income ceiling raised for federal loan eligibility By GINNY BONDE Stall Writer Federally Insured Student Loans with an interest benefit are available to more students now than last year, according to Herald Johnson, director of Student Financial Services. Follow- ing federal action last November, the maximum adjusted income of parents of a student eligible for a loan has been raised from $15,000 to $25,000. “Virtually all students at Augsburg will be eligible now because of this liberalization and other means to make the loan available to students," said Johnson. “Just a few will not be eligible." This eligibility is for the interest benefited loan. Any student may take out a loan with a 7 percent simple annual interest rate from the federal program. A federally insured loan with an interest benefit is more beneficial to most students than is a personal loan from a bank, said Johnson. For example, if a student has borrowed $900 each of four years he/she has attended Augsburg, no interest is assigned the loan during those four years. Starting May 1977, when this hypothetical student graduates, he] she has a grace period of nine months before payments of the loan must begin. After the nine month waiting period, the student has 10 years to pay back the $3,600 loan. That is equal to $30 per month, plus the 7 percent simple interest. The interest begins to accrue only when payment of the loan is due. If a student is able to replay the loan before payment is due, the pre- payment will be interest free and, unlike some loan policies, there is no penalty for early payment. Other types of loans—a personal loan from a bank, for instance—are issued at a higher interest rate and may include a policy whereby one would be penalized for early payment of the loan. The conditions of an interest benefited or “interest-free“ loan are: —a student must qualify for the loan by showing need. To determine need, his/her parents’ income and expenses are assessed to find adjusted income. —a student must attend school at least half-time for at least nine months olf the year. If this condition is not met, the nine-month grace period will begin. —the limit on the loan is one-half the total cost for a year of school. For 1977-78 Augsburg students, one-half the total cost is estimated at $2,435 for residents and $2,110 for commuters. For students with such fees as music lessons, total costs would be higher. —the absolute maximum loan for a year is $2,500. Students wishing to apply for loans can obtain forms in the Student Financial Services Office. After the student, his/her parents, and Augs- burg have each completed their respective portions of the form, it must be filed with a lender. The lender may be a savings and loan, other banking Chin Wag remains the same in new board plan options By DIRK J. ABRAHAM News Editor In a last-minute revision of proposed board plan options for the 1977-78 school year, both the Chin Wag and Food Coupons will be retained in their present form, according to Student Body President Ron Robinson. This decision was reached Friday by a special committee consisting of: Burt Fosse, vice-president for finance and management; Marianne Sander, vice- president for student affairs; Carl Stromer, director of food services; Doug Wasco, director of auxiliary services, along with Robinson and Eric Spore. At the March 16 Student Senate meeting, Sander reported that under the final proposal by the President's staff, the Chin Wag would become totally a vending operation, coupons would be eliminated, and there would be just two board options: a full board plan costing $725 and a meal card plan costing $400. According to Robinson, this pro- posal met with such disapproval from students and faculty that the special meeting was held. Fosse told those present that the housing contract for next year was being printed, and the board plan uncertainty was delaying its completion. Major complaints centered on the lack of flexibility in the proposal, Robinson said. “We went into the meeting with the intention of compromising by splitting the $400 option into $200 worth of meal cards and $200 of coupons,” Robinson said. After some debate, it was decided to change that to $250 worth of cards and $150 worth of coupons, retaining the present Chin Wag setup in the process. The key difference between the presidential staff proposal and the compromise is the amount of revenue generated by Food Service. “The aim of the presidential proposal was to increase revenues in the Commons,” said Robinson. “Revenues won’t be as high with the compromise, but the student and faculty protests make it justified." Burte Fosse said that changing the character of the Chin Wag would have been “a poor decision." He also stated that, “If the majority feel they do not want a change, then there is a price to be paid in other areas. If we do not save money here, there will not be money for other things that various groups would like to have done.” Doug Wasco commented, “I really feel it is a good compromise to meet the needs of increasing costs of food service and still allow flexibility for students on board plan." Robinson explained in an interview Sunday night that many students don’t understand the use of Food Service revenues. “There’s a big debt on the College Center, which students help to pay for with $50 of their tuition. Food Service has to contribute also, as a user of the building. Any Food Service profits go to help this and other areas of the College budget," said Robinson. Robinson went on to say that he is very pleased with the compromise, terming it “a victory for the students." Robinson also mentioned that some phases of Chin Wag and Commons operations, such as hours, are still being debated and will be announced later. firm, or an insurance company. If the loan is issued, a check for the amount will be sent to Augsburg. Once the check is endorsed by the student, it is receipted. If the student's account is overpaid, Augsburg will issue a check to the student upon request. Alternatively, the student can leave the credit in his/her account for future expenses. In Minnesota, the federal loan program is also called Minnesota State Student Loans. In the Minnesota program of insured loans, the federal government is the insurer. In the case of death or disability, the government insures the lender against loss. Policy differs slightly from state to state. The federally insured program is an important one for Augsburg monetar- ily, according to Johnson. He estimated that $450,000 comes in from various lenders through this program. Because fall semester payments are due August 20, 1977, next year's students are urged to beginapplication by this June. Alpha Phi Omega elects new officers Augsburg's Omega Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity, a national service oriented fraternity, elected new officers at its March 17 meeting. Taking office March 24 were: Scott Langguth, president; Steve Wehrenberg, vice president, member- ship; Randy Asman, vice president, service; Jon Moren, secretary; and Phillip Styrlund, treasurer. The fraternity, which became an official chapter in May of 1976, is currently conducting a membership drive. Pledge members this spring will be initiated next fall, according to new president Scott Langguth. One of the chapter‘s objectives is to recruit new members from the freshmen and sophomore classes. "Many of our members are juniors and seniors, so we’re trying to build up a base by recruiting underclassmen,“ said Langguth. He pointed out that although nine new members were initiated March 4, raising the chapter's membership to 19, nine members will graduate this spring. Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity has been involved in many service projects in both the Augsburg and surrounding community since its installation last spring, according to Langguth.

Show moreAugsburg economics prof James Billings 'rolls’ in style By LARRY COUTURE Staff Writer Rolls Royces can be seen frequently around the Augsburg campus now that spring is here and they are out of storage. Do they belong to an Auggie commuter? Well, not exactly. Actual- ly, they are prize possessions of Augsburg Economics Professor James Billings. Billings has three Rolls Royces—a 1952 Silver Wraith, a 1953 Bentley Silver Dawn, and his greatest classic, a 1933 Phantom II. Billings has frequently opened his Lake Harriet home to students and last week he extended his hospitality to some of the ECHO staff by treating them to a Minneapolis ride in his Silver Wraith. The Wraith is his sleek black classic. Billings bought it last March in Jamestown, ND, and he says, “This model is very rare. Only 1800 were made over a 14 year period. Rolls Royce contracted out the coach building to 150 separate coach makers and this particular car was done by James Young, the most elegant of coach builders. The original dollar adjusted cost was about $85,000 and by 1959 they had stopped making this model." The interior of the car is intricately paneled with the finest satlnwood and walnut stock. Paneling and mirrors border the top quality leather upholstery. A "picnic bar" accom- modates back seat riders along with the first class leg space in the coach—complete with footrests. The Bentley Silver Dawn is the sportiest of the Billings Royces. The two-tone silver beauty is complement- ed by a red leather interior and the classic Royce grillwork, "I once drove the Bentley to a special concert for the King of Norway at Orchestra Hall and somehow the people got it mixed up with the King's car. All the old women were running up along side and banging on the windows." Billings chuckled. Billings takes pride in his Phantom II, conSIdered by many to be the best of all Royces. The car is 6 feet 4 inches tall, 20 feet long. and with a black paint job could pass as a Nazi staff car to the casual observer. Actually. the car was owned by the niece of King George V. Lady Mary Gosling. and comes complete with seats facing - g“ EYEBALL TO HEADLIGHT with a 1953 Bentley Silver Dawn. one 0/ three ciassrc Roi/s owned by Prof. James Billings, who calls himself an “art economist.

"Rolls Floyces are rising at about 25 percent per year and there aren't many to be found. For a while you could get them for $10.000 to $12.000. Now the less expensive ones aren't around." According to Billings. driving a classic car is really much cheaper than people think. He pointed out the appreciation in classics as opposed to depreCIation in new cars. And Billings adds. "i pay a lot more insurance for my Ford. which I think has no market value." All four cars have one feature in common—the Augsburg parking permit stuck to the back of the mirror. Cars are not the only Billings passion; art may be his first love. He keeps his cars at his mini-mansion on Lake Harriet along with his art studio and living room gallery. His collection ranges from Old English paintings to Persian rugs. His house is a jungle of antiques. Many have already been sold and are now awaiting transport to the new owners. Many of his experiences in art dealing are brought into the classroom. like the Friday he spent in a Minneapolis precmct station. it seems he had been contemplating buying “an official. registered pair of police handcuffs“ at an auction The handcuffs came without keys but Billings had already tried one on before he realized that he was no longer in any posnion to bargain lor a good price. Billings travels and telephones across the country in pursun of an art deal. Many of his sales are completed Sight unseen by the buyer, pOSSibly illustrating the respect his colleagues in the art world have for him. The classtc Rolls Royce could also be considered a work of art, Billings likes to think of himself as "an art economist“ and seems Willing to sell anything at the right price.

At approximately 11:40 pm. on Monday, March 28, Judicial Council officially terminated what seemed to be an endless election process that has brought out the worst in most everyone involved. The ECHO has watched and noted all the proceedings carefully: the mundane platforms that surfaced in our paper five weeks ago, slightly lightened by a hamster and two freshmen; the “spirited” and surprising write—in campaign and victory exactly three weeks ago; the huckstering, the muckracking and the name-hacking that has predominated since then; and the broken friendships that may silently linger on. This was a difficult time for little Augsburg College, where two opposing spokespersons in the Judicial Council hearing play on the same IM broomball team; where one alleged election malefactor and one Judicial Council member live in the same house on campus; where supporters and candidates of opposing tickets attend the same classes, frequent the same parties and pass each other daily in the quad, in the Center and in the Commons. Now it is finished—el tinis—thanks to the Lord and more thanks to Judicial Council. Some may call the Council members spineless for taking the easy, most convenient way out of an unprecedented controversy. But we feel Judicial Council could have reached no other decision based on the evidence, or lack of evidence presented to it. And even if all of the allegations presented to the Council Monday night by the Bradley-Choban and Whitbeck-Elliott tickets — intense peer pressure, ballot spillage and early sorting, failure to receive election day procedures and partisan workers behind the election table—were proved true, they are certainly not substantial enough to invalidate an election. We still fail to believe that any of these “questionable” campaign practices could have biased the election and swayed the outcome. President OscorAAnderson By the time this is printed, I trust the outcome of the stu- dent society election will have finally been determined. Whatever the result, the tradition of capable and responsible student leadership at Augsburg will be continued. In the years I have served the college, I have not been dis- appointed in the caliber or character of the elected officers of the student body. And they have not always agreed with the administration, by any means! I confess that I cannot go along with the cynics who claim that student government is a Charade and that student society officers are lackeys who are ineffective in shaping the experiences of our college community. Strong student leadership is a vital factor in fostering the welfare of our entire enterprise. Because I believe students should be responsible for their part in our life together, I hesitate to make any suggestion regarding their affairs. But I shall risk an observation which may mean, if it results in a change, a more effective student government. I am referring to the time of year student society elections are held, something that has not been changed even though changes have taken place in the academic calendar over a span of years. As | see it, to hold elections in late February or early March actually deprives the incumbent officers of a full year of effective administration. See what actually happens. Newly-elected officers take over about the first of April, usually around the time of the Easter break. The period after Easter becomes a time of organizing the student society for the ensuing year, while running pell-mell into spring exams and the summer hiatus. After cranking up again in the fall, things go along well for a few months until Christmas, after which the January Interim interrupts all normal student government. Then suddenly the new term starts in February, it's time to think about elections again, and the incumbents quickly become lame ducks. What if—and this is just a suggestion which may have little merit—what if elections were held early in May with results ascertained before exams? The elected officers could, I think, use the summer months to get their administrative team together, with greater certainty about what returning students are available. The opening of school early in September would give a new student government the usual impetus and spirit which go with the start up of another academic year. The officers and their colleagues could then look forward to a full term of office which would coincide with the entire school year. Well, this is not an extremely crucial issue. But I confess to wishing that the fine student society officers the Augsburg student body elects might derive the benefit of knowing their administration coincides with the established academic calendar instead of the start and stop, start and stop schedule presently the case. What do you think? cruiters which was initiated by the Committee Against Racism. Burtness reacts Dear Mr. and Mrs. Editor: Who is this character called Neil Pauluk and what is he trying to do to this campus? In a feature article in last week's ECHO, Mr. Pauluk was reported as setting up camp in the College Center so that the college would build a house to accommodate drunk commuters. Why does Mr. Pauluk urge commuters to get drunk? Doesn't Mr. Pauluk realize that total inebriation is not conducive to a healthy mind. body and soul? Mr. Pauluk should don his pajamas with feet in them and made to carry on a conversation with a moose in a coma in the Quad. My attention was also directed to Dave Wood's Letter to the Editor. Davey‘s mastery of the language and sentence structure is such that he really should plan to major in English. Ftich Kammakazi also wrote a Letter to the Editor badmouthing Eric Spore and Arlene Shorts. For his naughty words and now thoughts. Rich should be shot wrthout trial. As one final point. I would like to wish Er Vinniger as much luck with his baseball team as he had with his basketball team. Tootles ’till later, Eric Burtness Wag consolidation is Fiscal Creativity To the Editors: In the March 25 issue of the Echo, Dave Wood refers to the consideration of consolidating the Chin Wag with the Commons as being done in the name of "Fiscal Responsibility." As | see it, the consideration was one of Fiscal Creativity. Consolidation would have provided cost reductions. Cost re- ductions here would permit cost increases responding to a list of legitimate and important requests as long as your arm. As is announced elswhere in the ECHO the final decision was not to consolidate. Cost savings will not be available: requests will remain unmet. You can't have your iefse and eat it too. Burt Fosse Protests against funnies To the Editors: I think the time has finally come to protest against the infamous ECHO cartoonist, this person who is apparently so ashamed of his own works that he signs them E.N.H. In the previous seven months of ECHO fun-land, this lampooning cartoonist has made light of all things sacred to the minds and hearts of every conscientious Augsburg student. His lampooning has ranged from criticizing our beloved Carl Strommer and his delectible veal-patties to maliciously slandering the crucial student government elections. The next thing we know, this anonymous E.N.H. (whoever he may be) will be making unmittigated assults upon the drummer of Augsburg's Jazz Ensemble I. In the immortal words of Lee (Ada) Hanson, “He has been banned, and he should be barred!" In protest, Tony Moen CAR misleads T; the Editors: | wtsh to comment on the letter in the March 25 Echo concerning the protest against Marine Corps re» I am just as much against racism as is the CAR, and I hold no brief for the macho posturings of the Marine Corps. However, I feel that CAFl’s position is logically untenable. Of course there is racism in the military. There is racism in many institutions. However, it is an untenable position to deny a given group a hearing simply because some of its members practice racism. To deny the Marine Corps an opportunity to recruit at Augsburg because some marines are racists is an example of McCarthyism. Those of us who vigorously fought McCarthyism in the ‘50‘s called such a position "guilt by association.” I am not a First Amendment absolutist, but I do know that such purists would object vigorously to a ban on Marine recruiting. After all, if such a social parasite as Larry Flynt should be allowed to publish his “Hustler,” then Marines should be allowed to recruit. I wholly missed the part about “the working class.“ I assume that “the working class" is comprised of all of us who have to work for a living. This includes about all of us except the idle heirs ol fortunes, the disabled, the retired and the welfare recipients. Those who have to work for a living are so heterogeneous a group that it would Continued on page 5 April 1, 1977 Show less

An equally important business of the military is defending the nation. and as long as there are people in this world who are not gaverned by reason and peaceful intentions, there will be need for a defense organization. Perhaps differently chosen words by the CAR would have influenced more people in the good light against racism. William E. Oyler Asst. Prot. of German Dept. oi Foreign Languages April 1. 1977 Music Building is coming To the Editors: What ever happened to the new music building? It's coming folks and it's coming real soon, On Monday, March 21, I was fortunate enough to sit in on a meeting of the music faculty. the architects and an acoustician. The new building has taken shape and i am very excited about the plans. I am also pleased to see that with each phase of the planning. input is being sought. The building which will soon occupy the muddy parking lot next to the Art Budding. Will be a structure well thought out and a fantastic addition to Augsburg College. Brod Anderson §Ol|flDIflGS V/ \\\"//// RLC plans Easter celebration By PAULA GEISTER AND TIM HOKANSON Religious Life Co-Commissioners RLC is planning a week long celebration of Easter beginning on April 11. the Monday after Easter vacation. One event already on the calendar is the Eucharist service on Wednesday, which the FlLC is in charge of. We're hoping that it will be something out of the ordinary. Thursday evening the musical, “He Lived the Good Life” will be presented by a group of people from area churches who have formed the Right Direction Company. The musical is based on the life of Jesus. Singing led by LYE will be floating through the College Center during noon hour on Monday and IVCF is bringing in a speaker to speak on the topic “Evidence on the Resurrection." During the first part of the week, time will be given to preparing for the Eucharist service Wednesday night. Everyone is invited to participate in preparation for worship by blowing up balloons, making banners, baking bread, preparing special music or volunteering your time and talents for whatever use we can make of them. A handful of people have been involved in the planning stages, but everyone is needed to make it a week of rejoicing and celebration. Our attention will be focused on the rolled away stone and the empty tomb; the victory over sin and death accomplished by the resurrection of Jesus. We challenge you all to personally examine the meaning of Easter in your lives and to publically witness that meaning within the Augsburg community, Easter can be used as a time for looking over the past year and evaluating yourself, your priorities, your relationships with others and your commitment to Christ. Because of Easter we live in the knowledge and hope that our short-comings and failures have been forgiven and forgotten, and we‘re given the opportunity to start all over again. The cross speaks to us of suffering and rejection. Bonhoeffer writes in The Cos! o/ Discipleship, “Suffering and rejection sum up the whole cross of Jesus. To die on the cross means to die despised and rejected of men . . . the disciple is a disciple only in so far as he shares his Lord's suffering and rejection and crucifixion.” Through baptism we die with Christ and are reborn to live in Christ and partake of his cross. The RLC hopes that this Easter celebration will promote growth and strengthening of our Christian faith. And that through it we will meet the needs of those around us by allowing them to meet Christ through us and all that participate. We are here to proclaim Jesus Christ. Let‘s celebrate this Easter! ! l! Continued lrom pagel dumped the ballot box at 1:45 pm.

Reviewed By ADA Staff Writer If you likejazz, last weekend was the time to be at Augsburg. For two nights and one day you could hear all the jazz you wanted around the campus during the 1977 Augsburg Jazz Festival. Eighteen high schools jazz bands played at one time or another Saturday, while Friday night trumpe- ter Jon Faddis headlined the show and Saturday night’s performance featured reed man Gerry Niewood. The festival got off to a solid start Friday night in the sweaty confines of Si Melby Hall. In a marathon three hour session plenty of good music was heard. The evening opened with Jazz Ensemble ll, moved to combos II and IX, and then finally Jon Faddis and Jazz Ensemble I. Combo II was highlighted by the solo work of trombonist Brian Cornish and sax man Ken Holmen. Combo I was up next with better overall talent especially their solid rhythm section, and put together a good performance. Gerry Niewood sat in on one number and was excellent, to say the least. Sally Jones added vocals on that all time night club tune, “Lushlife.” After the tight, veteran group‘s performance, the stage was set for Faddis. Jazz Ensemble I came out smoking with “Wind Machine" and then brought out the bizarre Mr. Faddis, Once onstage, he seemed a reservoir of bad jokes and inane antics, which ruined the show for some people—but not me. Why? Pure and simple: Faddis may well be the best trumpet player around today. He can play lead and the high notes necessary for this, and he can play "jazz solo." And he does everything effortlessly. He does not warm up. and even when he plays incredibly high notes he appears to use no pressure at all. He is only 23 years old too. The set opened with a Dizzy Gillespie chart. "Manteca.“ with the band chanting “We‘ll never go back to 6 Festival is sizzling success , . L. ‘- .1 —ECHO Photo by Mike Vaientiner Oakland!” “I Remember Clifford," “Lover Come Back to Me,“ “’Ftound Midnight," were next, the blisteringly paced swing chart, “Things to Come” followed. Throughout all the tunes Faddis played with all the qualities previously mentioned. The only time the band seemed to semi-break down was in “Things to Come," where they started at the right tempo but eventually slowed, although not enough to wreck the piece. piece. Saturday night was definitely the highlight. First, Jazz Ensemble I played two electric sets, ending with the sizzling “Backwoods Sideman." Sax players Mike Murphy and Ken Holmen traded riffs and left the audience ready for the third set. Bob Gardner opened the third set with a quasi-Spanish guitar solo, and then Gerry Niewood came out to play soprano sax on “Spain.” Torn Lunquist also soloed on trumpet. Niewood turned flutist on the ballad “Silence of the Snow“ and ended his set in a duet with Murphy in “Two Franks." Throughout all three charts he proved to be a very inventive soloist. Even though he plays in the somewhat confining linear style, he was never in a dearth for ideas. He is the type of guy you would like to play with because his well never runs dry. What followed these pieces was what I had been waiting for. Faddis was brought back and he and the reticient Mr, Niewood jammed, along with the rhythm section. for at least 10 minutes on “Manteca.” They played together; they traded licks; they did it all. The concert should have ended there, but it did not. As a joke, the Jazz Ensemble played the classic "Tuxedo Junction“ to foil Faddis and then burned through "Things to Come.“ The audience for two nights was treated to two of the cleanest. straight ahead sol0ists they will ever hear. Mustcally, the 1977 Jazz Festival was a SUCCESS. Fitzgerald? stories fail on film By DAVID RAETHER Fine Arts Editor One of the side benefits of being Fine Arts Editor for the Echo is that you often receive invitations to opening nights and premieres of new productions around the area. Not long ago I received an invitation to attend the national premiere of the first film in a series to be aired on PBS called The American Short Story on Film. It is a series of nine films, funded by the National Endowment for the Human- ities, covering a period from the civil war to today. The film that I was invited to see was a film of F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s short story “Bernice Bobs Her Hair.” The National premiere of this film was held at the University Club. The University Club is an impressive old building set on the edge of a hill where Summit Ave. swoops down to the city of St. Paul and reality. St. Paul was the birthplace of Fitzgerald, and Summit Ave. was the setting of many of Fitzgerald's major moments as a youth. The major discomfiture of the evening was the interminany long line of speakers the well dressed and very polite audience had to sit through before being allowed the opportunity to View the film. The first major speaker was Bruce Vento, congress— man from St. Paul, who gave a thoroughly trivial speech on how dear F. Scott Fitzgerald is to the fine people of St. Paul and how his works still have meaning for us today. Things started to pick up when the sixth speaker, an eminent Fitzgerald scholar, gave a brief talk on some of the thematic elements of the story, such as the theme of rite of passage from youth to maturity and of the role of women in modern society. This speech was followed by a set of remarks by Dr. David Nobles,, historian from the University of Minnesota. Nobles discussed Fitz- gerald’s place in American intellectual history and the theme of the crises of cultural writings. Finally, Norris Jackson, a friend of Fitzgerald‘s from his St. Paul days and a classmate of his at Princeton, stood up to speak, “I must say," Jackson said to the audience, “that after hearing these remarks I hardly recognize the man they are talking about." He then proceeded to tell all sorts of wonderful stories about Scott and Zelda and Princeton in those days. “Scott was many things,“ said his old friend, “but he was never boring." The film itself was nothing notable. I have noticed a rather disturbing trend in films based on Fitzgerald’s works. When there is an attempt to do a translation of his works on to film, the people involved in the project are so careful to bring the work literally on to the screen that inevitably the film is stilted. “Bernice Bobs Her Hair” suffers this same purist plague which mummified “The Great Gatsby." The pacing is slow and the acting, particularly by Shelley Duvall, is at time langorous. The langorous pacing muffles the comedy inherent in the story. “Bernice” is about the adventure of an old-fashioned girl from Eau Claire who spends the summer with her sophisticated cousin in the East and all of her cousin's sophisticated friends from Yale and Princeton. The world they move in is not unlike the glittering world of Restoration Comedy. The film, however, by attempting to bring the story to the screen so literally, loses the marvelously witty surface of the story. After the film was over and after the reception, during which meat hors d‘oeuvres and chablis were served, I walked out of the University Club, whose glory seems to have faded slightly over the years, and hitchhiked home along the graceful, tree—lined Summit Avenue, passing on the way the house where F.

Show moreFormer student body pres. makes comparisons Gildseth-Poulson platform stressed involvement, community By ANNE BENSON Staff Writer Augsburg’s recent student govern- ment elections prompted memories of undergraduate days for Bruce Gild- seth. executive assistant to President Anderson. Gildseth, a 1962 Augsburg graduate, served as president of the student body during his senior year at Augsburg. BRUCE GILDSE TH, executive assist- ant to President Anderson, served both as Augsburg ’5 Student Body President and captain of the basketball team in 1961-62. Running with Kermit Paulson, who is an Augsburg physics professor, Gildseth entered his presidential race as somewhat of an underdog candidate. Though both he and Paulson had been involved in Student Senate, neither was a member of the “in” circle of student leaders. Their opponents were a part of the student government "establishment." The Gildseth-Paulson ticket offered the student body a wide range of interests. Gildseth, who was captain of the basketball team and a resident assistant, recalls that his sports involvement didn't result in a “jock” image during the campaign, but that Paulson's high academic achievement was a prominent part of the ticket. Their platform was not unlike the platforms of this year‘s presidential candidates. The issues were general, stressing student involvement and a sense of community. Gildseth's decision to run for student body president was not an easy one for him to make. it was made after Gildseth was aware of what his responsibilities would be as basketball captain. An influential factor in his decision to run was a talk with Coach Ernie Anderson, in which Anderson advised Gildseth to think only of basketball while on the court. but to forget the sport while off the floor and to pursue nonvathletic interests, Gildseth recalls that about two~ thirds of the way through the year he was exhausted, "I can sure identify with Ron Robinson," says Gildseth in reference to this year's student body president, who Is captain of the April 1. 1977 football team as well as president. Despite a very hectic nine months in office, Gildseth has no regrets for having undertaken the job of president. His administration "accom» plished nothing very earthshattering," but went through a “solid healthy year” nevertheless. For Gildseth, one of the highlights of the year was a trip to the University of Wisconsin for the National Student Association Congress. Her he was exposed to some of the first murmurs of student unrest which was to erupt on the nation’s campuses a few years later. Creating a very controversial con- ference were speakers like William F. Buckley, representing a conservative Young Americans for Freedom, and Tom Hayden, the liberal activist who later became known as a member of the Chicago Seven and who recently ran for the Senate in California. Gildseth notes with interest the similarity of the political calm of Augsburg's students during his undergraduate days and that of students here today. He spent the years of greatest student unrest away from Augsburg—as a graduate student at the University of Minnesota and as assistant dean of students at Kansas State University. By 1972, when Gildseth returned to Augsburg, students generally had returned to the same rather conservative political stance they held in 1962. While Gildseth has noticed con- tinuity in the political consciousness of Augsburg students over the past 15 years, he is aware of many changes in the college. The most significant change, perhaps, has been in Augsburg‘s sense of community. Gildseth feels that some of this community identity has been lost, and he offers several possibilities as to why this is so. Changes in Augsburg's physical setting have influenced the community greatly, he believes. Fifteen years ago Augsburg was set in a strictly residential area. The Cedar»Fliverside developments hadn‘t taken place, the St. Mary's/Fairview complex wasn‘t as large as it is today, and l-94 hadn’t been built yet. Gildseth today misses the proximity of faculty. staff and students which was possible during his student days at Augsburg because of the residential character of the neighborhood. He recalls fond memories of evenings at the nearby home of Professor Gisselquist, suppers with Gerda Mortensen and many other intimate Telephone: 333-0919 DENNIS THE BARBER 27TH & FRANKLIN Complete Line of RK Products contacts with faculty members. In addition to alterations of Augsburg’s physical environment, Gildseth feels that changes in city living in general have contributed to the loss of sense of community. An increased intensity of city life, coupled with a greater mobility, has resulted in a student population which is not tied to the Augsburg campus and which seeks to leave the urban setting whenever possible. While Gildseth‘s memories of a closer Augsburg community are fond ones, he doesn't regard the changes Augsburg has undergone as being negative. He believes that the Twin Cities locale is a tremendous asset to the college. Though the great variety of students drawn from the metropolitan area and the opportunities for involvement in city activities and organizations make student life today more of a challenge, according to Gildseth they also present the potential for a much richer learning experience. And while the community “spirit” at Augsburg is much less intense than it once was, Gildseth feels that it still exists. "The identity and support students associate with Augsburg." he said, “gives them the confidence to break out into the urban setting." Did you know? that Saturday, April 16 is the Spring Affair.

Show moreCornell headed for European pro league By LARRY COUTURE Staff Writer Augsburg senior basketball captain Dave Cornell is going to Europe in May to check out a basketball offer, and if everything works out he will be playing basketball professionally in Italy next year. “I don't know too much bout the offer or specifics, but an agent who scouts American players is going to take me to Italy this May to check things out," Cornell explained. “I guess Italy is the best place to play in Europe as far as pay and basketball are concerned. I don't know about liv‘ng there, though." So it appears Cornell not only got an offer but he got a good one, good enough to put it ahead of the one given to him last week by Athletes in Action, at Christian witness pro team. The Buffalo High School graduate came to Augsburg four years ago after being recruited by former basketball coach Butch Raymond. “Erv (lnniger) and I arrived at Augsburg at the same time," Cornell recalls, “and since then I've had nothing bad to say against him, either as a person or as a J -C0uncil Continued from page 5 The persons involved in recovering the ballots said they were convinced all the spilled ballots had been returned to the box without any losses. Nordaune introduced figures which indicated that a 8.5 percent absolute voting discrepancy was present upon comparing the number of ballots to the number of persons marked as having voted. Nordaune also charged that the sorting of the ballots, which took place before voting closed, was in violation of election day procedures. She alleged that the candidate representa« tlves had not been duly notified of the change in procedure. In her closing argument to the Judicial Council, Nordaune urged the Council to invalidate the election on the basis of the doubts and violations presented, She stressed that the appeal was not directed at any one team. She asked that a new election be held and regulations dealing with elections be enforced. Bernstein stressed, in his closing argument, that the allegations had not been proven. If proven, he said, the allegations would not be sufficient enough to overturn an election. Hearing of the Judicial Council‘s decision to uphold the election results, Bradley stated, “I will accept the Judicial Council‘s decision. “I feel they made it because of what they felt would best benefit the student body, however. I don't think the Council based it on the defense presented by the Spore-Shorts team." He added, "The point was to show that there were discrepancies. The things that were brought out were true. Discrepancies are facts and should be looked at in future elections. "To prevent this from coming up in later elections, I believe there should be a stronger set of guidelines. I think the Judicial Council should enforce that portion of their decision,“ Bradley stated. Whitbeck also said she will accept the Judicial Council's decision. She believes it was made because the Council was afraid of setting a precedent and because they were dealing with a controversial issue. "There were some reliable charges made and the rebuttal didn't begin to attack them," she said. Whitbeck stated that she believed the hearing succeeded in releasing tenswn. Nordaune agreed that the open hearing was valuable in that it April 1, 1977 allowed students to air their opinions. She added, “In the Judicial Council’s opinion they acknowledged that everything presented was justifiable. We made our point that from now on, elections should be accountable.” Spore said that after hearing some of the evidence he felt it was not worthwhile taking it to the Judicial Council. Shorts added, “Their basic contention was to make guidelines. That could have been done through the Student Senate.“ Spore said, however, that he felt the Council handled the procedure well. “To have something of this impact fall into its hands, the Council did a good job," he stated. Spore concluded, “I'm glad its over. Now we can go to work uniting the students, making appointments, work- ing with the new Senate and _ studying."

Even though he was recruited by Raymond, Cornell is quick to point out that lnniger Is “an excellent recruiter, probably one of the top in the state and with such a good program he finds it easier to get people." Cornell has always been a winner. His three years at Buffalo netted the team a 61-10 record. During his senior year they only lost two games—both by one point. Having been denied the chance to play in a state high school tournament, Cornell was involved in post-season play each of his four years at Augsburg. The Auggles finished second, first, first, and first in the MIAC respectively, with his career climaxed by a trip to the national tournament in Kansas City and a 31 point effort by Cornell. His career high was during the Christmas tournament this year when he hit 32 points. His junior and senior years brought him All-MIAC honors. Cornell is third on the all—time scoring and rebounding lists at Augsburg. The feat is remarkable, considering the number of injuries that have hampered him or kept him out of games, especially in his first three years. He broke his right foot his freshman year, had severely torn ligaments in his leg his sophomore year and had a bad left foot his junior year. When asked if he has ever thought about what may have happened had he chosen one of the Big Ten schools over Augsburg Cornell replied, “Sure I've thought about it a lot, but I don‘t regret coming here for a minute.

DAWN OF THE HIPOCALYPSE Kncre LUCCHIN‘I Closet Hipster Today, on April I, Minneapo- lis Mayor R.T. Rybak announced his total evacuation plan for the City ofMinneapolis as well as its surrounding counties. Officials had been worried for months about the possibility of the hipster apocalypse or hipocalypse and the consequences it could have on not only the citizens but the city itself. “The city is under attack" said Mayor Rybak. “We must evacuate before H2H, Hipster too Human, infects all of our citizens." H2H, Hipster too Human, was discovered in early Septem- ber 2009. Ofi‘icials began seeing the crippling effects immediately. “Within weeks we could see the destruction it had on our city. Their bikes were everywhere,” said Chief of Police Timothy Dolan. “Some stacked two, three bikes tall. There dark rimmed glasses broken all over the streets. We even noticed increased sales in record stores and underground book stores." There were shocking reports of singing and guitar playing hap- pening on various street comers, as well as handmade flyers being passed out by the hipsters. The flyers had slogans such as, “Sweat- shops are death. . . man,“ “Save the baby Whales... dood,” and "Help make PBR cheaper.” Local resident, Gerda Johan- son, stated, “Ya‘ know, I went to some of those damn hipster things and I hate ‘em. The nasty things are always leaving at all hours of the night. The house always smells like a skunk and those darn cigarette butts are everywhere. Ya‘ know, I told my husband Frank to get out there and do something about ‘em, but the damn hipsters convinced him the buns were some OFFICIALS FEAR A VIRUS-LIKE. HIPSTER EPIDEMIC THAT COULD SWIPE THE TWIN CITIES “biodegradable hoopla.“ However, while many citizens fear for their lives, many support the H2H epidemic. Local liquor store owner, Marty Hodge stated, “I like the hipsters. They don't bother me none. Ya‘ know. I‘m always sold out of that there Pabst Blue Ribbon but I hear it’s ‘cool‘ with the kids. It took me a while to get used to the paying in quarters but the wife likes it so she can park downtown.” While some show their sup- port, Mayor Rybak and Tim Dolan are determined to end this epi- demic and save as many lives as possible. “The people of Minne- apolis think this is small pennies, but it’s not,” said Dolan. “It won’t be funny when the dam university Minneapolis officials have been worried for months about the possibility of the hipster apocalypse or "hipocalypse" and the consequences it could have on the city and its residents. shuts down because the kids all wanna go to art school. It won‘t be funny when Hard Times opens at another location, or two. We have to stop this now.“ The evacuation will take place Friday, April 8.

Augsburg scraps science hall plans, plans even bigger fireworks show Mnce GALLAGHER Baseball Extraordinaire A source familiar with Augs- burg College’s budget and upcom- ing plans told me late Tuesday that, despite pleas by those with common sense, that Augsburg would be passing on the proposed construction of a new science hall and instead get “bigger and badder“ fireworks for next year‘s homecoming festivities. “You have to look at what fur- thering education really means," said the source. “Yes, a new science hall would serve a lot of practical purposes, but think of how many more fireworks you could acquire with a few million more dollars. Plus, fireworks have an immediate payofi‘, i heard a minor that said the science hall wasn‘t going to be done until the 22nd century.“ While Augsburg's reputation as a growing academic institution will be sure to take a hit, the office of the president released a state— ment defending the decision. “In this modern day, we as a college believe it is important to enthuse our minds of tomorrow. We also believe that as a Lutheran institution, at some point science and religion have to split since they don't really get along. Addition- ally, we believe that ifthe big man upsmirs had the technology we do in his time, he would‘ve taken full advantage of it. In this institution‘s collective mind, science is a thing of the past, while special effects and explosions will never go out of style. We are proud of the spur-the-moment impulsiveness ofthis decision, and look forward to showing the University ofMin- nesota that we may be smaller. but we can still be ballet." The last part of that mono- logue drew some confusion, but some light was later shed on the confrontational statement directed at the U. The planned upstaging ofthe roughly 60,000 student institution across the street seems to stem from an incident between Augs« burg President Paul C . Pribbenow and incoming University of Min— nesota President Eric Kaler. When Kaler was the president ofStony Brook University (N.Y.). Pribbenow was in New York tak- ing in a basketball game at the famous Rucker Park. Much like Pribbenow‘s philosophy. Kaler is determined to get involved in the community, and was having a picnic in Harlem with his constitu- ents. He spotted Pribbenow from across the way and instructed his posse to accompany him in ap- proaching Pribbenow. According to the story. Kaler tapped Pribbenow on the shoulder and Kaler asked him “are you giv- ing out free samples?" “I‘m not sure I know what you mean sir," said Pribbenow. Kaler persisted. insisting Prib- benow and his trademark bowtie resembled Orville Redenbacher and that he be granted a free sam- ple of his popcorn. "l am the president ofAugs- burg College Paul C. Pribbenow sir." he said. “And let me say I find your comments quite offensive." “Well come on Paulie." said Kaler. “The bowtie, the comb over, i would‘ve thought it was Halloween and you were passing out popcorn instead ofcandy." From then on the Pribbenow- Kaler feud has continued. and one has to wonder whether this fireworks display is just a per- sonal way for Pribbenow to exact revenge on Kaler. Whatever the reasoning may be. it looks as if Augsburg is headed in a direction that will be slightly less academic. and slightly more explosive. Show less
