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.

which is about a mountain man
who lives his life for revenge.

Scholarships totaling over

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.
