Dr. Palmer Eide and Professor Ogden Dalrymple, art professors emeriti, were honored yesterday in the Augustana College Chapel. The college's appreciation was shown for the baptismal font, pulpit, alter, several worship fur-nishings, and a carved wooden Glorified Christ figure that adorns the Chapel narthex. They were also recognized for their combined' efforts in the "Muse of Music" sculpture directly west of the Humanities building. Thursday December 9, 1982 Volume 66, Number 11 Augustana College, Sioux Falls SD error Profs give views on faculty cuts By D.M. Collins Several , Augustana faculty members are sorry to see the need for the upcoming round of cuts, but they are generally pleased with the process that has been established for the ad-justments. The decision on who will be cut will be made by President William Nelsen on Dec. 15, with the announcement of who is going to be affected being made in mid-January. Nelsen will use recommenda-tions made by the Faculty Per-sonnel Council, Administrative Personnel Council, and a group of students to make his deci-sion. Professor Carolyn Geyer of the English Department said that the process for the cuts is improving. She sees the addi-tion of faculty representatives as a great improvement to the process. "My own feeling is that we seem to be handling it better;" said Geyer. She also noted that more sensitivity is apparent in the decisions to be made. Dr. Charles Balcer, Professor of Speech, Drama, and Corn-munication, commented that the cuts show a realistic ap-praisal of the future student body size, and that the reduc-tion is one aspect of what he calls "a very difficult situation." Mike Pfau, another speech professor, said "It's important that the college slim down." "The problem," said Pfau, "is that the college is so supersen-sitive to enrollment the we real-ly can't look into the future, so forward steps can be taken." "Demographics show that the pool of prospective students that Augustana draws from is getting smaller. We're going to have to plan ahead based on those demographic pro-jections," Pfau added. Music Department Chairman Walter May said that the cuts were inevitable. "It's faculty cuts or higher tuition," said May. His only hope is that the trend is temporary, "or we'll see a decrease in either the number or the quality of the programs. I hope that the college will choose quality over quantity." Dr. Ken Kessinger, PE Department Chairman also realized that the cuts are essen-tial for the well-being of the school on a long-term basis. He added that his department is about as small as it can be without affecting the athletic program. He stressed that many . coaches, although they have limited teaching responsibilities, are busy with coaching, recruiting, and scouting other teams. "The new athletic com-plex will be a great aid in recruiting and retaining students," Kessinger said. Sandra Looney, professor of English and a member of the Faculty Personnel Council, deplores the need for cuts and hopes that the college can get itself out of the cut syndrome. She explained that the Person-nel Council examined each department of the college, and that recommendations were made only on areas, not on in-divicual faculty members. "No names were used," said Looney. "The statistics aregrim," she ad-ded, "but we just don't have the money." Many professors hope that the cuts will not damage the liberal arts base of the academic program. They also realize that not everyone is going to come away happy after the decisions have been made. "They're not just cutting faculty," said one professor, "They're cutting friends and colleagues." "The statistics are grim, but we just don't have the money." -Sandra Looney Student awareness of crime increasing By Mark Maland Two unrelated crimes have increased concern about the continual problem of crime in the Sioux Falls area. The murder of Teresa Small has raised the public's awareness of crime. Similarly, an assault of an Augustana stu-dent on November 21 has raised the concern of Augustana students and administrators. Although these two incidents may seem to indicate an increas-ing crime rate, Roger Dunn of the Sioux Falls Crime. Preven-tion Bureau disagrees. He said, "Crime is an ongoing pro-cess." Sioux Falls Police Depart-ment statistics support his view that crime is not increasing. The number of reported assaults and rapes has not in-creased significantly in Sioux Falls for the past three years. However, Dunn said, "People fill the auditoriums to listen to self-defense lectures after an unusual or highly publicized crime." Not surprisingly, a rape prevention workshop attracted a crowd of almost eighty people in response to a November 21 assault of an Augustana woman. According to Augustana Ad-ministrative staff members Susan Schrader and Gene Marko, Augustana's crime rate has remained steady. Dean of Residence Life Schrader said, "The number of incidents is about the same as last year." Security Supervisor Marko said, "More information has been given to make students aware this year." Both Schrader and Marko spoke from a "personal view-point" and offered no suppor-ting statistics. Schrader issued a memo on November 23 to provide infor-mation concerning the November 21 assault. Posted at numerous campus locations, this memo said that one assault occurred on November 21 and that three other incidents were "unrelated" to this assault. Schrader's memo listed such safety precautions as locking one's door. Gary Petermann, Head Resident of Granskou, said that "some small thefts" have occurred because of unlocked doors this year. Schrader said this memo's purpose is to prevent any rumors about the November 21 assault or other incidents. Schrader said the memo was an attempt to warn students without alarming them. Schrader was most concerned about freshmen women from rural area who are not "street-wise" in an urban area such as Sioux Falls.
