INSIDE THIS WEEK Campus news Entertainment Opinion Sports pages 2, 5, 8 . page 3 page 4 pages 6, 7 Paul Krumrie and Drew Fossum KAUR takes second in advertising contest Have fun on your Skip Day Fun Run... Whenever that may be. Thursday April 29, 1982 Volume 65, No. 21 Mirror Augustana College, Sioux Falls, SD Vice-president of Develop-ment James Johnson has resign-ed. He assumed the position last fall. He cites personal and business reasons for his resignation. Johnson said, "The primary reason [for resigning] is that with my family as young as it is and the needs of the college as I see them, the college needs someone willing tobe away more." In order to do the job effective-ly, Johnson said the Vice-president of Development should be away one or two weeks a month. Johnson and his family live in Vermillion, where Johnson has a law practice. He said that he had been in the piocess of getting out of it, but now he will remain in practice. Johnson will continue in the Development office at Augustana until the Search Committee finds a replacement for him. The committee met for the first time last Friday. Johnson said that he loves Augustana and the people he works with and "would be will-ing to assist with the upcoming campaign." -- Johnson graduated from Augustana. He attended law school at the University of South Dakota and at the University of Michigan. Vice-president of Development resigns; search begins again Awards Day set for May 12 Novelist Manfred to speak at convocation Augustana's annual Awards Day convocation will feature Fredrick Manfred, who is a na-tionally acclaimed novelist from Luverne, Minn., and a member of the National Advisory Board of the Center for Western Studies. In addition to other books, Manfred is the author of the well-known novel Lord Grizzley, which is about a mountain man who lives his life for revenge. The convocation will be May 12 at 1:15 p.m. Scholarships totaling over $107,000 will be awarded to about 300 members of the Augustana student body. Funds for the scholarships come from 149 different sources and are mostly from en-dowments, many of them memorial. A faculty scholarship committee determines the reci-pients using criteria established by the donors. Augustana President William Nelsen will preside as the awards are made and announcement is made of graduate and undergraduate scholarships, fellowships and assistantships won by Augustana seniors for next year. Students already admitted to graduate and professional schools for next fall and winners of departmental academic honors at Augustana will also be recognized. KAUR came out a winner in a state-wide advertising competi-tion for 1981. KAUR won a second place Addy in the category of Media Self-Promotion-Radio. An Addy is an award given by the South Dakota Advertisng Federation at their annual advertising banquet designed to honor top advertisers in 17 categories. KAUR's entry was a KAUR/Augustana basketball promotion created by sports director Paul Krumrie, an-nouncer Drew Fossum and pro-duction director Bob Hicks. Krumrie said the spot was in-spired by the "Bob and Doug" of "SCTV" television show fad and they thought that was something a lot of listeners might relate to. Brian Bonde, General Manager at KAUR said the Ad-dy marks a milestone for KAUR: "KAUR is a real and important radio station, in the same league as other radio sta-tions in the region. Too often people think that because the Augie station is staffed by students, it is somehow not a real station. The Addy's proves them wrong." In the competition, judged by the Omaha Advertising Federa-tion, KAUR was beaten only by KELO-FM in their category. Bonde said KAUR provides students an opportunity to develop their creativity: "I'm glad that a place like KAUR ex-ists where students like Paul, Drew and Bob can show-off their creativity. ASA suggests Academic Grievance Hearing Panel By Lori Heeren Staff writer Members of the ASA Co- Curriculum Committee have dismissed the idea of an honor code and instead have suggested a formal structure for student-faculty redress—the Academic Grievance Hearing Panel. The ASA began looking into possibility of an honor code last semester. The Co- Curriculum Committee resear-ched other colleges which have honor codes. One of the reasons the honor code was originally considered is that the current informal struc-ture for handling conflicts in the class room—whether it is cheating or a disagreement over grades—is not apparent to the students, said ASA Vice- President Tom Erickson. Erickson, who with another ASA member headed the research into an honor system for Augustana last fall, also said the informal structure is sometimes intimidating. In the past, students have con-ferred with the professors, ad-visors, department or division chairpersons, the Academic Dean, the Provost and even the President of the college about their academic conflicts. Now, if the Augustana faculty approves the Hearing Panel next Wednesday, the Academic Dean will have the power to call the panel to order instead of having those involved talk to the Provost or President. The members of the Panel will include the Academic Dean as chairman, one faculty member from each division who is not a department or division chair, and four students: the chairman of the ASA Curriculum Commit-tee, the presidents of Blue Key and Chi Epsilon and one student at large (to be selected by ASA's P&D Committee). President Nelsen said that the idea of the Panel is not bad if the students are required to go through the informal chan-nels— especially through the pro-fessor involved—first: "I hope it's seen as 'let's take it there first."' Knight Hoover, who chairs the Faculty Co-Curriculum Committee, agreed with Nelsen. He sees the panel as a "last resort" type of effort. Hoover said that any issue can be resolved through other chan-nels since, as he said, going to the panel is implying an adver-sary relationship between those involved. Erickson said he sees the panel as a "bi-partisan organization," one that would be impartial for the student. According to Nelsen, the Academic Grievance Hearing Panel and an honor code are separate issues. However, Erickson said that the Panel is the end-product of the research into an honor system. Nelsen, who favors an honor code, is aware that students have a hard time accepting it. "I sup-pose it's the finking part of it that bothers students," he said. St. Olaf College, where Nelsen was the Academic Dean, has an honor code. The code at St. Olaf focuses on cheating during classroom ex-ams. Each test contains a state-ment at the end that said that the students have not cheated nor seen anyone else cheating. A student who sees a classmate cheating is not supposed to sign the statement. He or she is sup-posed to report the incident to the body that confronts students accused of cheating. However, "It's all basically honor," Nelsen said. "The honor code gives the student responsibility for his own con-duct as well as taking away from the faculty member the role of judge." Hoover said that since many professors are grading tests on a curve, "ratting" is in the best in-terest of the student: "Students are only hurting themselves by letting someone else have an un-fair advantage." In addition, Hoover questions how the ASA decided against an honor code. Erickson said that there was no survey or referendum, just "a lot of raw nerves" when the issue was first brought up at an ASA meeting last fall. Erickson also said that an honor code was first proposed at Augustana in the '60s. "You know the spirit back then," he said. It was rejected. Student Activities Director Doris Huseboe said that an honor system has been "propos-ed and re-proposed." And each time, it has been rejected. Apparently, it has been re-jected again.
