Levels of clerical, maintenance and food service support staffing will be deter-mined after the faculty and ad-ministrative levels are more clearly decided. Nelsen does not expect a significant change in levels of support staffing because they have been adjusted on a conti-nuing basis in the past. Decisions concerning the cuts have been discussed by the Faculty Personnel Council and the Administrative Personnel Council who have been at work making recommendations in their areas. Students were consulted in a meeting with Provost Art Olson and Nelsen earlier this week, and additional input will be sought from all groups before final decisions are made said Nelsen.

Two forums were held last week to reintroduce the subject of ROTC. The forums were in-tended only to consider the possibility of hosting ROTC; no decision will be made right away. By Lori Heeren Staff writer Students can celebrate Christmas with Mom and Dad before the holiday vacation as this weekend has again - been designated Parent's Weekend at Augustana. Parent's Weekend was first started last year in conjunction with the All Nations festival. Approximately 500 parents at-tended the 1981 event. 1982 Parent's Weekend Chairman Sarah Irby expects about the same number to at-tend the activities on Saturday and Sunday. Registration will be in the Morrison Commons on Dec. 4 from 10 a.m. to noon. Irby stresses that students purchase _tickets either for the Sunday brunch in the cafeteria, following the 9 a.m. chapel ser-vice or the noon luncheon that will follow the second worship service at 11 a.m. Tickets for both meals are $5.25 and can be purchased at the Commons desk with mealcards. On Sunday, Nov. 21, an in-formational forum was held at 7 p.m. in the Commons Lounge with approximately 15 people present. Randy Wiese, a junior at Augie who organized the forums; Lt. Colonel Patrick R. Todd, professor of military Science at SDSU; Dean Schueler, director of admis-sions; Janet Gullickson, associate director of financial aid; and Evan Renz, an ROTC Both the brunch and the lunch will feature a program for the parents and the students, ac-cording to Irby. Parents can meet with faculty and administrators at a recep-tion in the Humanities Center on Saturday from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Another reception with President is scheduled at his home Sunday afternoon from 2:30 to 4 p.m. Other activities for the parents on Saturday include a varsity band concert at 4 p.m., the All Nations festival in the gymnasium and commons from 4:30 to 11 p.m., Augustana womens' and mens' basketball at the arena, and the Augustana Theater production of "Don't Drink the Water." The Heart of the Beast Theater of Minneapolis will per-form a puppet show, "La Befana," in the Humanities Center at 7 p.m. on Saturday, and the Jabberwock will feature a faculty/parent coffeehouse later at 9 p.m. and Evan Renze, an ROTC 4-year scholarship recipient and senior chemistry major at SDSU were the speakers. Todd gave some basic infor-mation about the ROTC pro-gram. "ROTC is a program set up with the assistance of the U.S. Army that provides college students with the opportunity for training for the U.S. Army," he said. There are presently about 350 host institutions of ROTC in the country, according to Todd. The majority of the private schools which host ROTC are Catholic schools. The 4-year ROTC program consists of 14 required credit hours dealing with military science. Todd added that four to six of the total 14 credits would count toward other ma-jor requirements. Todd said that there are two levels in the ROTC: basic and advanced. According to Todd, any student can enroll in the basic classes, but, ordinarily, only ROTC students can take advanced classes. Students who continue with the ROTC up to the advanced classes begin to receive $100 a month during the junior year and approximately $2,600 dur-ing the last year of college, ac-cording to Todd. Some advantages that Todd included are the scholarships given with the ROTC, and the second lieutenant ranking each ROTC graduate acquires at graduation. Schueler commented on the possible effects of ROTC on ad-missions at Augustana. He said, "ROTC cannot guarantee an admissions increase; however, there are some students asking if Augie has ROTC." "Our decision depends upon the goals of Augustana College. Does it [ROTC] correspond with the mission of Augustana?" Schueler said. He added, "I hope Augie gives ROTC a fair shake on both sides." Gullickson said that the Of-fice of Financial Aid would con-sider ROTC assistantships a financial aid resource — the amount of ROTC scholarship money would take away the same amount of eligibility for financial aid. However, if a student's finan-cial need exceeds what ROTC gives, the student can receive more help through financial aid. -On Tuesday evening, November 23, another forum was held in the Commons Lounge. This forum, attended by approximately 25 people, centered on the issues involved with the possibility of incor-porating ROTC on campus. The overriding question of this session was, "Can Chris-tianity and the military coin-cide?"
