the augustana college MIRROR sioux falls, south dakota Vol. 52, No. 6 Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57101 October 22, 1970 Remaining undefeated after two debate tournaments were (left) Steve Binger and John Myers, and (right) Morgan Simpson and John Rechner. Some of Yugoslavia's best cello, violin and string bass musicians will appear with the Solisti de Zabreb Chamber Orchestra Oct. 29. dli Ralph Nader Retreat seeks "Community of Conviction" by Marlene Hardick and Loretta Anderson "For about 36 hours, we were able to think of people as people instead of as students, or teachers or administrators." "I wish we could bring this atmosphere back to campus." "Always before, everything has ended right here. I hope this year we can take some action on our ideas." "I think we talked too much about structures and not enough about specific issues." "There was a large amount of communication between the various participants, but not too many concrete ideas were formulated. Perhaps the time was too short for definite opinions to be formed." These were a few of the opinions floating about among participants of Leadership retreat Saturday and Sunday. The weekend was held informally at Lake Shetek, with time out to attend the Mankato-Augie football game. A great deal of time was spent in small discussion groups consisting of students, faculty, and administration. This was an unique opportunity to express ideas, concerns, and frustrations to people in positions to act on them. A closeness grew within groups which allowed for frank discussion. There was much discussion on Greg Olson's position paper, which is printed in part on this page. Some felt that this sort of change was badly needed; others did not feel the need for change or did not think that this was the right change. Some alternatives were proposed. There was also discussion on Dr. Martin's statement, "You can have a community of conveniece or a community of conviction." One thought here was that many students would learn better in non-lecture courses, but that it is easier to come to class, take notes, and go home, than to really get involved in a course. Other comments were that students should have a voice in the formulation of courses and requirements for majors, and that a student grievance committee should be formed. Another proposal, which had the support of some faculty, was the idea of a faculty evaluation by students to be turned in to the personnel board and printed for the benefit of students. Perhaps the most important development of the retreat was the ability of participants to get to know each other. Small clusters of people got acquainted and shared opinions. Students challenged faculty and administration to a basketball game. Ping-pong and pool games were frequent. The atmosphere is hard to describe, but was very real to participants. As Don Hazlett, chairman of the event put it, "I felt • that talking honestly with faculty and administration in this relaxed atmosphere offered us a rare opportunity to decide if we are content with Augustana and if not, why! Next year I hope that some of the board of regents will be there, too." "The United Nations was purposefully structured to be powerless, and the United States has used it as an 'instrument' in defense or in support of the national interest," charged Dr. Alfred Hotz, the speaker at Wednesday's convocation. The chairman of the political science department, speaking on "The United Nations, the United States, and the Arab-Israeli Wars" spoke on the 25th anniver-sary of the U.N. The U.S. has very successfully used the U.N., said Hotz, "as a 'propaganda forum' to castigate Russia for aggressive action" in Greece, Berlin, Hungary, and other areas. "The U.S. also uses the U.N. to justify our actions in circumstances such as Korea, which was an attempt not to safeguard Korea but to protect Japan." Hotz stated that in using the U.N. for such reasons, three questions must be answered: (1) What is our national interest in a specific conflict? (2) What is the prevailing balance of power? (3) What opportunities exist to gain U.N. support for our action? Hotz cited the Arab-Israeli conflict as a classic example of our utilization of the U.N., because the U.S. does not wish to get involved and hopes for a voluntary settlement. Furthermore, we wish to maintain influence with both Arabs and Israelis. The 1967 six-day conflict upset our calculations of non-involvement, Hotz said, and the U.S. and the Soviet Union must now apply direct pressure on both sides. "Power-politics diplomacy must immediately be World-famous chamber group appears Thursday Solisti di Zagreb, a world-famous Yugoslavian chamber orchestra, will appear at Augustana College Thurs., Oct. 29, as part of its seventh tour of the United States.

The orchestra, acclaimed as "one g to rious-sounding instrument" by the London Daily Telegraph, is a favorite in England, France, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, and Italy. Its hand-picked members represent the best of Yugoslavia's string-instrument musicians. OS forthcoming if a settlement is to be reached," declared Hotz. Ohio grand jury indicts Kent State students By JIM NICHOLS College Press Service KENT, Ohio (CPS)—The students of Kent State University saw tensions heighten after indictments were returned last Friday against 25 persons, none of them national guardsmen, by the special Grand Jury investigation of the distrubances of May 4. According to the official Grand Jury report, "thirty indictments, covering 43 offenses" were returned against the twenty-five. Student reaction to the indictment has been varied. Some feel the indictments were too few. Others feel the number was too great. But the majority of students believe that the entire Grand Jury report was a whitewash of the May distrubances. In Columbus, Ohio, the Student Mobilization Committee has announced an emergency press conference on the capitol steps and is calling for "united massive action by Ohio students" in response to the Grand Jury "whitewash." The report never formally declares the May 4 disturbance a riot; it refers to a "riotous mob" and excuses National Guardsmen from guilt in the fatal shooting of four students and in the wounding of eleven more. The report states that the Guardsmen fired their weapons "in the honest and sincere belief, and under circumstances which would have logically led them to believe that they would suffer serious bodily injury had they not done so." (Continued on Page 8) Debators maintain perfect record After competing in two tournaments this year, two Augustana debate teams still remain undefeated. The two teams, Steve Binger and John Myers and John Rechner and Morgan Simpson, compiled 4-0 records last weekend at the 23rd Annual Kansas State Novice Tournament. Each team received a trophy for its efforts at the 22-school tournament. Only two other teams at the tournament finished with undefeated records—one from Southwest Missouri State and the other from the University of Missouri. Binger also captured another trophy for Augie by tying for first place in extemporaneous speaking. In other competition at the tournament the team of Doug Kraft and Steve Miller wound up with a 2-2 record while Art Aadland and Rich Duncan won one and lost three. This weekend the squad will be sending teams to a tournament at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Nader to speak here November 2 Ralph Nader, author, lecturer, attorney, and leading critic of the automobile manufacturing industry; will appear in the Augustana Chapel-Auditorium at 8:15 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 2. Mr. Nader is best known for his book Unsafe at Any Speed, a scathing indictment of auto industry safety practices. A leading authority on auto safety practices, he has been a consultant to legislative committees, government agencies and university research groups. Ralph Nader Study Groups, commonly known as "Nader's Raiders," have issued reports on such diverse topics as The Vanishing Air, The Interstate Commerce Commission and The Chemical Feast. Mr. Nader will share nis knowledge and experience in his address: "Environmental Hazards: Man Made and Man-remedied." At special U.N. Convo .. Hotz says U. S. has used United Nations propaganda forum
