Augustana eople... The new Augustana Student Association officers were in-augurated yesterday in the Commons lounge. From left to right: Randy Gehring, president; Randy Smith, vice presi-dent; Lois Van Dam, treasurer; and Shelly Lage, secretrary. Jeff Gross finished third in the 500 meter run at the Division I Indoor Track Champion-ships this past weekend at Syracuse, N.Y. It is the highest finish ever for an Augustana track athlete. See story on page 6. Volume 67, number 19 March 15, 1984 The Augustana Mirror ASA's identity crisis: ❑ What does the student government do anyway? By David Loverude editor The inauguration yesterday of the new ASA officers will also br-ing a new attitude toward what students can expect from their stu-dent government — the Augustana Student Association. However, the ASA has, to a certain extent, an identity problem. Some students do not know how it is structured, how it works, what it-deals with and how it affects them. Recent ASA president Tom Erickson admitted that the ASA is not always thoroughly understood. He said that although most students understand ASA's main functions of serving student's in-terests and appropriating money to student organizations some know little more. "Sometimes, that's a problem and students don't always know what we're doing and why we're doing it," Erickson said. "You see this at election time when candidates start criticizing the student government. 'What's in the student handbook, what's in the Mirror and the minutes" are the only sources of information that students receive about ASA. see related story page 2 The overall purpose of ASA is to serve the interests of the students, Erickson said. A misunderstanding sometimes arises when students do not view anything as a problem unless it directly affects them, such as the current investigation into the contract bet-ween Augustana and Sioux Falls College. 'We don't necessarily think it's bad and it may turn out to be great for Augie," he said. "What we want to know is, is it good for the college. If it's good for the college it's good for the students. And that's what the student government is for." During the recent presidential campaign, some candidates said that ASA shouldn't be so concerned about things like the Sioux Falls contract and should concentrate instead on issues that directly affect the students such as maintenance, food service, the Huddle and library hours. see ASA page 2 Tuve postions now open Tuve International Counselor positions, (1 woman, 2 men) are available for the 1984-85 academic year. Counselors live in Tuve Hall where they serve the varied needs of students enrolled in the Midwest In-stitute of International Studies. Interested students may pick up a job description and application at the mandatory information session to be held April 2 at 9 p.m. in the Paxton Room. Interviews will be scheduled April 7 and 8. Remuneration is room and board. Concert held March 16 The Augustana College Chamber Orchestra, con-ducted by Dr. Ray Sidoti, will present its annual scholarship concert at 8 p.m., Friday, Mar. 16 in the Kresge Recital Hall. A free will offering will be taken. An orchestra member will be elected by the orchestra to receive the orchestra scholar-ship, which is funded by donations received at this concert. The winner is an-nounced at the concert. Flutist Susan Kroeker of the South Dakota Symphony will be the featured soloist as the orchestra plays J.S. Bach's Suite No. 2 in B Minor for flute and strings. Pianist Mark Albrecht, Augustana senior from Sturtevant, WI, will perform as soloist in Mozart's Concert Rondo in D Major, K. 382 for piano and orchestra. The program will conclude with a performance of Josef Suk's Serenade for String, 0.6. By Tom Hayes assistant editor Augustana recently announc-ed that it has withdrawn its par-ticipation in a plan to join with Sioux Falls College and the South Dakota Educational Television board to build a South Dakota Public Radio sta-tion in Sioux Falls. According to a story in the Argus Leader, Augustana has decided to return to its original plan to cooperate with Min-nesota Public Radio in building a station in Sioux Falls. The original backers of the South Dakota Public Radio plan, including Augustana, originally brought their pro-posal before the 1984 Legislature. The plan died with after discussion on the floor of the Legislature. After the legislative defeat, Augustana decided to pull out of the project. Augustana President William Nelsen said that he was in-terested in bringing the "highest-quality public radio,with a strong track record to Sioux Falls." Augustana pulled out of the proposal because they were, ac-cording to Nelsen, concerned about the stability of the South Dakota Public Radio arrange-ment in Sioux Falls. He said that they were also concerned about the cost to Augustana and the public. Minnesota Public radio has already installed Augustana graduate Lee Axdahl as manager of the new Sioux Falls station. Augustana's Board of Regents plans to make a final decision in May concerning future associa-tion with Minnesota Public Radio. Jane Wagers, station manager of KAUR, says that theoretical-ly an Augustana-Minnesota Public Radio partnership would have no effect on the operation of KAUR. She is afraid that the school College decides to go with MPR may be jumping into all of this without first looking at what it will cost and whether the benefits will make it worth the expense. "There are no quantative figures that show that this ven-ture would be worth the money. It will cost the college alot of money to have the station on campus. "I am also concerned that eventually KAUR will have to compete with a school spon-sored public radio station for funds." She feels that down the line, KAUR may get the short end of the stick. The Board of Regents has ap-pointed a committee to look in-to the proposal and implications of it.
