Pfeﬁ'er seems to have chosen his words well be- cause 15 of the 23 men currently practicing are freshmen. St. John's, St. Thomas, Concordia and Gusta- vus should all boast improved teams. When one considers this fact and also the Auggies’ loss through graduation of such veterans as the Miller twins, Rick Snow, and Joel Branes it is easy to see why coach I’l‘eil'er discounts talk that labels his team the “favorite” to retain its conference crown. Supplying leadership for the Auggies this year will be team can- tain Mike Good. a junior from Frid- ley who last year gained second place honors in the NAIA tourna- ment in Omaha. Other returning veterans are Larry Stewart (two- time defending MIAC champ), Bill Hickman and Ron Johnson (run- ners-up in last year's conference meet), sophomores Pat Marcy and Jim Mastro, senior Gene Skoglund and junior Bob Martin. Art Scheu- nemann, a junior who has not wres‘ tled his ﬁrst two years at Augs- burg, has also reported for prac— til'l’. The success of this year‘s team will rely to a considerable extent upon the contribution of freshmen. liattling it out with the varsity vet» LUTHERAN BROTHERl-IOOD life and ﬂea/(ll Insurance for [Millers/Is If you're a Lutheran. you qualify for special benefits only a member of our Society can get.

The struggle should be every bit as in- teresting in the middle weights where Chris Gates, Jeﬁ' Erickson, Jim Carlson, Mark Mattison, Rob- bie Davidson and Mark Morris each plan to earn a place. In the upper weights, freshmen Kim Anderson, Jon Hanson, Doug Anderson, Steve Dahlman, and Ter- ry Peterson all hope to gain var- sity positions. Adding up the pluses and mi- nuses facing this year’s team there is still good reason for an optimis- tic outlook. The Auggies have an abundance of talent in weights 118 through 167. In all there are 17 men competing for the seven var- sity positions available. The inten- sity of competition should develop a polished varsity in the lower and middle weights. On the other hand, the three up- per weights are a real question mark due to inexperience. Last year the Miller twins did an out- standing job at 177 and 191 but they have since depart/Edi Filling these voids and ﬁnding a heavy- weight are the toughest assign- ments at present. Meanwhile the Augs have al- ready begun non-conference compe- tition with the St. Thomas rota‘ tional held this past Wednesday. This Saturday Augsburg gets into action once again at our third an- nual Takcdown Tournament at 9 am. in Melby. In summing up the team’s pros- pects for this season, coach Pfef- fer and captain Good feel last year’s dual meet record will be hard to match because of the tougher schedule the Augs are facing. How- ever both agree that the strength of the squad will show most clearly in tournament competition, and that is where titles, glory, and “hard- ware” may be won. —-Photo by Imam-r MIKE GOOD Hockey The Augsburg hockey team be- gins its season tonight with the ﬁrst of two weekend games with the Lakehead University team of Port Arthur, Ontario.

Anonymous Reporter Finds, Council "Ads" Interesting “Lose Their Money and Run (for Re-election)" is a new and unique type of drama that Student Coun- cil has presented lately on Monday evenings. The presentations are diﬁ‘erent from other forms of drama in that each performance is unplanned (ex- cept for a little scheming here and there) and each performance itself is different (except for the common feature of boredom among specta- tors). The producer of the act is Beacom Associates and the director is Tod Hanson. The plot centers around the los- ing of $14,000 and how the cast tries to make it up. Each of the members attacks the problem in varying ways. Miss Grindal gets the problem off her hands by im» plying that it i: the council's prob- lem and that they should ﬁnd the solution. A] Zirzow, playing the role of cynic, explains that the so- lution to the crisis is to sell candy. Jackie Henry, playing the peo- ple's protector, advises the council to appropriate $800 to the Black Student Union (to help the situa- tion).

Meanwhile, Ron Johnson and Pete Agre, among others, have managed to abstain from debate entirely by not bothering to show up. Finally, Ron Wahlberg makes one of his many motions. He moves that “the executive branch look into the possibility of maybe secur- ing a loan if it is feasible and ev- eryone thinks it is a good idea and that a committee of distinguished and inﬂuential members of Student Council of Augsburg assist the ex- ecutive branch into looking into this.” The members debate the motion by clarifying the terms: “What is ‘ the executive branch? Does this I commit us to taking out the loan? . Has this motion passed yet?” With all questions answered the council votes. The motion passes with Rachel Iverson decisively cast- ing her abstaining vote. The cli- max comes, however, when the mo- tion comes to adjourn.

Council be gan by questioning Augsburgian editor Jill Steele. She said she could order less books (a trick already employed by the Echo to save money), cut the number of pages (also being don e by the Echo), and change the format (which will p r o h a bl y come this term with the Echo), but that she would need at least $3000 to begin with and some advertising income. Discussion muddled along until Ron Wahlberg made a motion w h i c h seemed to cover all angles. Major points and eﬂ'ects of his resolution were: 1) $6000 LOAN, PAYABLE OVER TWO YEARS. 2) CUT BACK BUDGET IN FOLLOWING MANNER: A. Echo—$1500 B. Program—$3450 C. Augsburgian—SHOO D.

This will be done in two steps. First, I will present all the responses to two sets of ques- tions sent out to members of the student body. In the second section, I will put forth my own opinions; the reader should keep in mind that the ideas I present are mine alone, and not necessarily those of any -sothspataﬂ.membcr or any other Augsburg student for that matter. With this in mind, let us begin by examining the responses to the let- ters ssntout to the student body. First, approximately twenty- ﬁve members of student govern- ment received a letter which I shall print in toto here: “Dear Council Members and other people in student government: "I’m sure all of you feel the deep concern that the Echo staﬂ' does concerning the ﬁscal problems fac- ing the Student Society. In order to present an explanation to the student body, I plan to devote three-fourths of the next issue of the Echo to Student Government on this campus. I need your help in this undertaking. In particular, I ,am writing a long editorial in which I‘hope to trace the rise of the problem. the actions of the council in trying to solve the prob- lem, and the reactions of members of the student body to this whole question. Could you answer the fol- lowing questions for me, and get than into my 11.0. or the Echo p.o. by Wednesday, Novcmbcr 26? If I do not receivs a reply from you by that time, I will be unable to include whatever comment you might wish to make. Feel free to roam away from these questions, too, if you would like, and address yourself to the problem as you un- derstand it. I would like to inter- view all of you, but problems with make this an impossibility. Think m for your consideration." ‘Six responses were received to that law, on verbal and ﬁve written. The questions asked were the following: ' 1. What do you think of the action sound! look! A. Whatisyourreactiontothc m of the cut on ma Augsburglan? B. What is your reaction to the cuts on the Program Com- mission! o. What do you drink about the loan! D. What other proposals would you make to get us out of the mire? 2. Would you limit our problems to any one person, group, or event or do you think the en- tire student body is at fault? 3. Have you asked your constitu- ency what they think about this? Do they care? Have you represented their viewpoints, do you think ? Mike Manz, responding orally, deplored the- cut'iri the Augsburg- ian in particular. He felt that the loan was the only fair way out of the problem, and also saw the prob- lem as arising from the whole stu- dent government rather than from any one person or event. Sophomore representative Rach- el Iverson outlined the following answers: “1) Approve of action in general. A. Personally, I don't mind— however, I would rather a large Echo out than Augs— burgian cut. B. Negative, but seeing no ac- ceptable alternative at the moment, it is imperative. C. A loan is necessary. I favor the two year over the short- er time loan. D. A budget freeze. Placing blame is not my duty or the duty of the council. The debt has been incurred and we have to determine what to do with it. The most we can do in the area of blame is decide on future concerts—to have or not to have. We decided ‘not to have' and in this sense blamed big name committee for con- cert choices and student body. for not attending plus Minne- apolis concert trends—in other words, a combination of all factors. Yes, however the above views are mine because the questions were directed 'How do you feel . . .' People I've talked to disapprove of the Augsburgian cut, but have no other solution. Several want an extended loan (several years), while others support council action as the only possible action." “2) us) Junior Linda Filipl wrote the following reaction: "I think the action taken by the Student Council was the only real- istic solution possible. A loan was very nsmsary and since this yur’s . be - .v u . forthisdcbglfcelitisonlyrisht to try and pay back half of it this year and leave the rest to be paid back next year. Al t h o u g h next year’s students should not be bur- dened with a debt at the beginning of the year, it is the only possible way the debt can be paid back with- out cutting off all activities for this year. “I think the cuts made were very reasonable since most s t u d e n t 5 don’t care about an Augsburgian or the social events sponsored by the- Program Commission. Maybe when some of these things are tak- en away from them for a while, they will appreciate them and may- be even attend some of the events provided for them. “I deﬁnitely think the entire stu- dent body is at fault somewhat but not exclusively. This is because, as I said before, the students don’t at, tend the events; but then when such groups as Paul Revere and the Raiders are brought here, one can hardly expect a majority of the students to attend. So I feel that no one person is entirely at fault. “I can only say that I regret that this had to happen, but since it did, there's no sense wasting time try- ing to decide who is at fault, but rather we should all work together to get through this and make sure it doesn't happen again!" Dave Andell, junior class presi- dent. deplored the budget cuts, say- ing council "should have looked for another way out." He accepted the loan idea as "possibly the only way out," and suggested further that “maybe the school c ou l d have loaned or given us some money." In answering the second question, An- dell wrote “I don't think that one person can be blamed. Maybe the ﬁrst concert, if an event should have been blamed—bad choice of bands." Finally he concluded that "there is more concern than what shows. People are more concerned than we think about what happens to their money. They don't have any more of an idea of what to do than anyone else." Freshman class President Ken Anderson also took the time to re- spond to the questionnaire. His an- swer follows: "In reference to your requests for comments on the ﬁscal prob- lems caused by the failure of the last two concerts, I would be more than happy to give you some of my “After discussing the matter $10 ALLOTMENT FOR THE JUNIOR CLASS. LEAVING A BALANCE OF 5510. 9 Figuring the highest interest rate on the loan at 7 per cent (on improbably high ﬁgure), Wahlberg ﬁgured that $420 would cover the interest on the loan, leaving $90 in bal~ ance. Aftcr long discussions this was ﬁnally accepted. Dnhlman then brought up a discussion of the win» ter (fourth) concert and possible mini-concerts with groups like the Goliards. Francis moved that no money be allotted for concerts, and that all future concerts be taken 100 per cent by Harry Beacom, who is the promoter for Augsburg's con- certs. While this sounds contradic- tory. it is not; Program Commis» sion remains free to use its funds to sponsor a concert, and funds are not speciﬁcally allocated for con- certs anyway. So a concert at Snow Days remains a possibility. The meeting adjourned. One question of importance was raised at the meeting by adviser Page 3 Don Gustnfson. Gus questioned the possibility of n lunn. Ron Mnriinsun quickly cnlnicd all doubts by stating that he had in fact checked into the matter. nnd that \\'l\ll\‘ there was no probable commitment. there was a tentativo form of ngn‘cnu'nt in tho Trcnsurcr's office to \‘o-sign a note. THE NEXT D A Y. Mnrtinson told me that the plans hnd fallen through nml that u now wrinkle had been added—it was ncrcssnry that n regent sign any note mining out of the college. With the impos- sibility of procuring n lonn mn- ironting n hastily nctivc council, it was obvious that tluI whole of thlbcrg's bill bccnnn- inoperative. A special meeting was culled for December 2 to discuss u now pro- posnl by Lnrhnc to pnrtinlly freezi- the budget. Sinu- tbnt m o c t i n p: ('OII'IOS after the Echo ili'nillinc but before publlrniinn of th 0 Echo, many people know by now the out come of that issue. The next issue of the Echo will discuss the results of actions taken in the opening weeks of the winter term. with my constituency and others, I realize that a number of people are looking for speciﬁc individuals or groups upon which to lay the blame. I feel that it is entirely wrong to do so, as the concerts were business risks designed to make a proﬁt. My constituency was shocked and concerned, and this is natural considering the amount of the loss. The point is that the time spent locking for someone to blame should be spent looking for solu- tions, and ways to avoid this situa- tion in the future. “I feel that criticism of the com- mittee that investigated solutions is somewhat valid. The committee proposed one s o l u ti o n that it thought the most desirable, but I felt that a list of different possibili- ties should have been drawn up. However, I feel that Ron Wahl- berg’s bill adequately distributes the budget cuts. I don't feel that any one organization should receive a total cut, and I’m sure my con- stituency would agree with me. The cuts on the Augsburgian and the Program Commission were equally severe in respect to the limitations placed on the functions of each. “I feel that the entire burden shouldn’t be placed on this year's organizations, and that a loan does a somewhat adequate job of carry- ing part of the debt over to the next year. “The issue that will be debated in the future is the philosophy behind holding concerts of big name qual- ity. The question that has to be an- swered will be: are the concerts to be held to make money or are they to be provided simply as a service to students by allowing promoters to hold them in our building? "Thank you for allowing me to express some of my opinions con- cerning the matter." Finally, sophomore representa- tive John Gisselquist answered the letter in the following manner: “While writing this, I'm taking it for granted that Darrell has ac- curately described the ﬁnancial siL uation the Augsburg Student Soci- ety is in. I think the real problems we face here are: 1) ﬁnding a scapegoat; 2) budgeting ourselves for the rest of the year; and 3) making sure the same thing doesn't happen again. All three problems are equally cumbersome and vague. “As far as ﬁnding a scapegoat is concerned. I suppose the ﬁrst place to look would be council, because council has the ultimate control over Student Society funds. Last spring council gave Program Com- mission the right to sign four con- tracts during the summer for the upcoming school year. Contracts had to be signed during the sum- mer because they have to be signed quite a bit ahead of the perform- ance date to insure getting a good act (or any act). "This year's council came into office only a few weeks before school was out last year. The deci~ sion to sign the contracts could only have been given by this coun- cil because it involved this year's funds. There was no time to ﬁnd out exactly what acts we could get and no way of proving that there would be so many acts in the city at this time that would lose money. Concerts as a whole in the past have made money and, whatever anyone says, they have always been set up to make money. "When your budget does not in- clude insurance for losses from big name entertainment, as it never has here as at most other schools, you have to set up your concerts to proﬁt. There is no such thing as ‘break-even’ in a ﬁeld as instable as big name entertainment. We have lost before (for example, the Brothers Four), but we've never lost twice in a row. As for that, we now ﬁnd ourselves in a position where we can't risk any more mon- ey. "As far as putting the blame on Program Commission, it is George Dahlmsn and Tod Hanson who set up these programs apart from Pro- gram Commission and its funds. I sincerely hope that'thcir point of View was solicited because I cer- tainly don’t feel justiﬁed to speak for them and it would be rldiculoul not to have their point of view given. "Putting the blame on the stu- dent society as a whole for not turning out seems rather ridicu- lous. If they didn't turn out, the programs must not have intercom them enough to spend that much money to go to them. And ifthat is the case the programs weren't right. "Concerning budgeting for the rest of the year, 3000 additional dollars will have to be cut from the budget put out at the last coun- cil meeting, because the school (keeping in mind that some money has been spent for this ﬁrst part of the school year) would not co-cign a loan. It should be also kept in (continued on page 4)

Show moreFriday, December 5 (continued from page 4) Another student inspected the concerts closely: “I feel the Student Society had little choice but to take the actions that it did. I am rather dismayed, however, at the third action, name- ly the out back of funds for the Program Commission, because I feel that many of the activities pre- sented by the Commission are ex- tremely important and are appre- ciated more than we might expect. I wish someone could come up with a fund-raising proposal to help al- leviate our losses. Such a project would require large-scale plans and enthust and frankly I don't know what it might be. "As to the reasons for our losses, I can only go by my experience and those of my friends. None of us could summon any desire to go hear Paul Revere and the Raiders. We would have liked to have seen Pat Paulsen and the First Edition, but, as is the case with many of the students, our pocketbooks were too bare. We want big names, but then many of us can't alford to go see them. "Also, the scheduling was not al- ways ideal for us; a performance at the Little Theater (which, inci- dentally, drew a full house) was held on the same night as the Pat Paulsen concert. The only solution I can see is to get acts that are not well-known e n o u g h to demand large feesk but up - and - coming enough to interest the students. I also think more and more people are beginning to appreciate ‘Soul’ music— just listen to the records that are being played in the Chin- wag and listen to the students’ mu- sic chatter. “It’s a gritty problem. Maybe we'll have to refrain from bringing as much big name entertainment to the campus—maybe only one big concert a year." " ‘ﬁr‘junior‘ student questioned the possibilities of a student poll be- fore a concert: “In reviewing this problem, the actions taken seem to be fair to some extent. Although the plan- ning commission on activities shouldn’t receive the whole blame for the loss of money, they should accept some responsibility for what has happened. It might have been better to have spaced the big name entertainment further apart rather than having them both in October. “A person may ask, ‘How were we to know that it wouldn’t turn out?’ To an extent they are right. However, I believe that a poll might have been taken of fresh- men, sophomores and juniors of what their reaction to these groups at that particular time might have been. Froni this poll. an idea might have formed as to if these groups were popular e n o u g b and were wanted rather than assuming that they would be acceptable to the en- tire college. "The things done about the loss in budget money seem somewhat appropriate. However, I feel that the seniors shouldn’t be deprived of their pictures in the annual nor should the Echo have suﬁered so much. Eliminating other social events also appears rather harsh since it isn't really the fault of the entire student body. “The idea of borrowing the mon- ey was really the only thing that could have been done. Yet, I feel that an all school sponsored event should have been made probably to help pay the loss. For in this way, the working of everyone together on campus might further the pro- motion of working better together and help stop apathy that seems to be going on today." One student took the present bind to generalize what he sees as I prevailing attitude around the campus: “I was completely unaware that the loss on the concerts were so big as to demand these cutbacks. I don’t like the idea of cutting down the Augsburgian, the paper, etc. But I don’t see that we can hold the officials of the Student Society responsible ﬁnancially—so I guess the loss has to come out of our other activities. "However, since the two concerts were planned without my knowl- edge and consent, I feel I have a right to complain. The Student So- ciety officers are playing around with a lot of our money, and they are expected to exercise good judg- ment. Everyone is entitled to a mistake once in a while, but why plan two concerts? (One loss would have been better than two, right?) “I think that the whole student body should be presented with the facts and with all of the action Stu- dent Society has taken to correct the situation. "This is exactly the thing I dis- like most about this school—the way other people are throwing my money around. Whether it's for losses at concerts, uninteresting symposiums, a dull Centennial week, etc., we work hard for that money and don’t like to see it treat- ed so lightly. In other words, I don't like the whole thing. If I can be of further ‘help’ please let me know.” Another 5 t u d e n t deplored the cut-back in services to the student body: “It was with disgust th at I learned about the proposed cut- backs in student services due to the ﬁnancial losses at two so-called col- lege concerts that were in reality public concerts that took place on the Augsburg campus. Though the students paid a ridiculous (over 200 per cent) increase in their general fee this year, they received no spe- cial discount on tickets. If the pur- pose of the fee was to improve the services to students, it has been a great failure. ‘ ' "Concerts at other colleges suc- ceed, so why do Augsburg’s fail? A recent concert held at a St. Paul college was packed with most of the viewers coming from the spon- soring college. This college gave discounts on tickets to its own stu- dents which seems only fair if the purpose of such activities as con- certs is to beneﬁt the student pop- ulation. Perhaps this idea is lack- ing in the planning of concerts at Augsburg. “Another reason for the success of this other concert was the wide appeal on the campus for the per- forming artist. While I admire the courage and sheer 'guts' of the Augsburg group responsible for bringing on to this campus those heroes of the tinsel-teeth set known as Paul Revere and the Raiders, I wonder if their appeal to the stu- dents of this college was ever taken into consideration. “The massive turnout of Augs- burg students at that extravaganza would seem to bear out my attack on their appeal to Augsburg's and probably all college age students. After this total disregard for the wants of the student population, how could a following concert be expected to appeal? “Rather than helping alleviate this p r o bl e m of ﬁnancial loss caused by a lack of real student representation somewhere in the maze of Augsburg's policy-making hierarchy, those in power have dc- cided to further cut back student services, many of which have been paying back the student and giving him some justiﬁcation for that 200 per cent increase in general fees. “Those individuals in s t u d e n t government who planned and sup- ported concerts which had no chance of appeal and who gave no special treatment to their fellow students such as in ticket disoounts, do not in my atimation represent the studens of this institution. By cutting many of the effective serv- THE AUGSBURG ECHO ices to the students who. seem to have paid many times over for them. those in power are furthering an unjust policy of not serving the students. “Why should the students be punished for the stupidity of the few? Those responsible for these concerts who never took into ac- count the ideal of serving Augs~ burg’s student population deserved to be punished, and not the student population that has paid too much already." A senior student made eight com- ments in regard to the situation: “1) This is an opportunity to eliminate the Augsburgian, so do so. 2) Responsibility lies with the P r o g r a in Commission, I believe. and speciﬁcally with Dahlman and Martinson. They should be removed from student government. In the ﬁrst place they should have taken the initial losses instead of press- ing on and in the second place why should big Auggie Tech try to pio- neer big name entertainment? That kind of shit has to stop. Program Commission has been wielding a lot of power the last two or three years and should be checked. And why in hell a second entertainment in the ﬁrst quarter? “3) Perhaps we need to evaluate our position on the paper. Either we should ﬁgure out how to make it ﬁscally sound or drop it. Perhaps this will have to he done this year, or at least, temporarily. Sorry, Darrell. And that goes for P.C. too. ZAP. “4) Where are we securing a loan, how much is it costing us, and are we positive that some of our minor programs and involve- ments can’t be cut besides the three already named”.l 5) Maybe the Stu- dent Council (ha-ha) could rein- state Tod Hanson (who only lost about $1500 last year) to the posi- tion of chairman of P.C., if they (undoubtedly) feel that we need one. “6) Is it possible that student government could leave a kind of comptroller general in charge of the funds every year to insure that such ﬁascos don’t keep popping up'.’ 7) Are we, I hope not, having a JS prom? Maybe a small dona- tion would help. 8) How much will it cost student government to ﬁnd professional answers to help them out of their mess?" One of the more penetrating an- swers was the following one from a junior student. “First of all, concerning the cut back of Echo funds: I think this is a tragedy indeed! The paper is a vital communication link on this campus which is separated by the fact that close to half of the stu- dents are commuters. But more im- portant, the Echo is an avenue through which student opinion may be registered. Without this avail- able medium for the exchange of views, the democratic ideals which I hope are important to Augsburg will be lacking. “Augsburg students have been accused of being apathetic. This may or may not be true, but I do believe that through the Echo stu- dents have been confronted with issues and have reacted—note the number of letters to the editor in the past one and one-third years as compared to those Echo issues previous to the 1968-69 school year. I applaud the Echo for providing the opportunity to the Augsburg community to be heard, and I con- sider this function of the Echo vital enough to recommend the proposed cutbacks for the Echo not to be put into effect. “Concerning the Augsburgian, l personally do not get a charge out of looking at page upon page of mug shots—now, that is. I say not now because as soon as I look through my high school yearbooks. mug shots take on new meaning— they are memories which can never be replaced. I deﬁnitely do believe senior mugs are a must! Seniors, especially, have spent much time and money to attend Augsburg, and I would consider it a slap in the face were I not represented in the yearbook the year I graduated. What is a large part of the college but the students?! “I do believe that the cut back in the Program Commission was justiﬁed—partially, at least. Week- end entertainment hasn't been drawing well so I think it could be eliminated until students demand something. If they don‘t. then no entertainment should be provided. Concerning the loan, I don‘t under- stand the situation fully and there- fore am not qualiﬁed to comment." These, then, are the responses which have been received concern- ing the student ﬁnancial situation. The views expressed are varied, but all seem to agree that it is a shame the mess occurred, and that some- thing similar to the action taken had to be taken. It is now time to present my own views. As one of the parties affect- ed by the budgct cuts council has made all year, I am biased against council to be sure. I think they have used personal diﬁ’erences in the past to justify their actions to themselves, while justifying their actions outwardly with only the best of intentions. Which is to say that I think council is composed of a bunch of two-faced bigots. But my personal feelings that way are unimportant. As much as I dislike this student government this year, it is my representative, I'm stuck with it, and the decisions it makes affect me primarily as an Augsburg student, and only second- arily as an editor. I don't agree with the people on council who say we should quit trying to place the blame. As Mr. Average Auggie, I think that this is quite important so that we can insure that nothing like this ever happens again. I see the blame falling on no one person. Primarily I have to blame Tod Hanson and George Dahlman. They showed poor judgment, their committee should have been larger, they should have consulted their constituency far more than they did, and they should have worked more closely with Ron and Larhac. But I also blame Larhac and Ron for not providing the kind of lead- ership they are capable of—the kind of leadership which has every- body in government pulling togeth- er instead of being out to make a name for themselves. As Hanson himself said at a meeting (and this is paraphrase only because I don't remember the exact words) if con- certs succeed, he claims thc suc- cess, and if they fail George gets the blame. This is showing sh-- for brains; a normal Hanson move, I may venture. Further, though, the blame must be put also on the Student Council which gave two people the power it did. And this leads into a whole second point. There are no checks and balances along the line which can save the s tu den ts if their "leaders" screw up the works. Why should the students suﬂ’er because they showed poor j u d g m e n t in electing people who don't take their job seriously enough to consider every angle of it. To the Student Council, I can only say wake up and pray that no one starts any recall movements in e fo r e your terms of office are up. In regards to the actions of coun. cil, I think they were hasty. It seems that the facts bear me out here more than anywhere else. Only the day after the bill was passed did the student leaders ﬁnd out the loan was an impossibility. Pardon me, but you are wasting our time when you have to hold umptcen million special meetings (all two or more hours long) and then come up with answers that Page 5 just dig the Student Society into a deeper hole. .\l_\' huts arc oil' in the people connected with this lonn business—you did a ﬁrst rntc jol of inspecting tho possibilities of n loan. How can we prevent things like this from happening in tho futuru‘.‘ I have some ideas, nnd they muy hurt some people. I don't cnn‘ any more. For n term I've muzzlcd my big mouth, even against cuulisul from many people uflur ouch of these concert losses. I feel like two cents: I‘ve been u traitor to the student body I'm supposed to ho sorving. Keeping my job after (hut battle last spring was my ﬁrst goul. Well, I've proved thut I run put out a decent pnpcr. Now it is time to got off my con~ sorvative uss and start helping tin- Student Society sou w h c r e t h v short-comings are on this rumpus. And I'm sad to say thnt the major one I've seen on this campus comes in the area of student govornmcnl. Okay. here are my idcns. Think them over for yourself, and rem-l to them. Remember, sludunt body, you are in the driver's chuir ngnin within n term: candidates will comr- to you for your votes. )lnko every- one ﬁght hurd for yours this time around. First I would draw up u workn» ble constitution. At present we lll't' operating under hy-luws und purl of an old constitution ln‘cuusc of ll half-cocked referendum voted on in 1966, when only 50 people voted. To heck with the idou of u collu» giate charter—draw up n constitu- tion and then try to work into :1 possible charter later. Especially, how about a student bill of rights so that we don't always get the short end? Second, separate publications completely from student HOVCI‘H- ment. Thcrc is no reason that an editor should have to {car rcprisnl from so—cnlled politicians for tnk- ing a stand. I will either prove or disprove this in the coming week. Put the pnpcr, yearbook and dark- room directly uudcr the Trcnsurcr. and have them start setting up their own sclf-pcrpctuuting funds. Reduce the student government. n1- lotment accordingly. Third hold a special meeting to discuss the problems with the con- certs this full. Put Tod Hanson through the some questioning ses- sion Mark Rcifi went through Inst year with the Chicago trip. After all, Mark only spent $900 and was grilled for questionable grounds at best. I think Tod and George as well as others could he questioned for their parts in this whole mess. For examples, the goals of the con- certs, lack of reports by the com- missioner to council, commission- er's books to be examined, and choice of acts to name only a few. Fourth, and ﬁnally, I would like to see an amendment to the Con— stitution, or the hy-laws, or what- ever we arc operating pndcr, which would make it impossible for the Student Society President to ap— point any one to a Commission or committee who is also a member of council. There is entirely too much double representation along these lines, and the result can he prejudiced, biased voting. The best interests of the students are not served with three members of Pro- gram Commission on council and another breathing down their necks so hard that they are afraid to shift in their chairs without asking permission. Once again I would like to apol- ogize to my constituency—the vast majority of the Augsburg students, who don't know what is happening because clowns like me never have the guts to tell them. I'll do better in the future, even if it costs me my job.
