The end of the institute

Concordia College's Institute of German Studies, located in Bemidji, Minn., will be closing after this yean

Blake HaggertyStaff writer

Although it cannot always be seen, partof Concordia's campus is isolated in thewoods. And rather than being a Norwegianpart of Concordia, it's German.

Concordia College's Institute of GermanStudies has existed since 1983 in Bemidji,Minn. And this will be the institute's lastyear in operation.

The institute offers a unique German liv-ing experience, where students are com-pletely immersed in the German language

and culture while earning college credit.Students take a variety of courses, taughtentirely in German, ranging from Germanhistory, philosophy, political science, litera-ture and even Principia. After finishing thetwo-semester program, it is possible toleave the institute with both a major and theability to speak German fluently.

Last summer the president's council(with the support of Concordia PresidentPaul Dovre) decided to permanently closethe institute. "We found that we were losingmoney," explained Dr. Robert Homann, thedean of the college.

"It's distance has made management [of

the institute] more complicated," Homannsaid.

In past years, a grant was subsidizing thelosses. Recently, however, it became appar-ent that the institute just wasn't paying foritself. According to Jonathan Clark, thechairman of Concordia's German andNorwegian department, the number of stu-dents should ideally be closer to 45 in orderto have the institute pay for itself.

This year, 30 students are enrolled at theinstitute. All but four are first-year students.Many say this small size creates a uniquesense of unity and they regard themselvesas a family.

"I am learning a lot," said Andrea Myers,a first-year student at the institute, "but itdoesn't feel like college. It's like a big fam-ily."

Students at the institute say this sense ofunity is necessary in order to accomplish allthe work that is assigned. They take oneclass a month and have about a week'sworth of homework a night. "You don'thave a lot of time to do other stuff,"explained Tim Wolf, a first-year student atthe institute.

"I plan on coming out with a major andbeing totally fluent in German," he added.

Because of the large amounts of work,students at the institute closely interact witheach other to master the language. And theylive by some different rules. For example,the institute has different intervisitationrules than Concordia's main campus.People of the opposite sex are allowed ineach other's rooms from 3-10 p.m. onMondays-Thursdays, 3 p.m.-l a.m. onFridays, 12 p.m.-l a.m. on Saturdays and12-11 p.m. on Sundays. Males and femalesalso live in houses that are co-ed by quads.

Besides having different rules, studentslive in an entirely different atmosphere. Theinstitute serves authentic German food, stu-dents play German sports, watch the newsin German and primarily speak German.

Students from all around the nation areattracted to the institute for its unique learn-ing environment. Many of them use tbeinstitution's connections as a springboardfor studying abroad and looking for a jobthat incorporates the German language.

*The German Institute is widely respect-ed," explained Ben Good, a resident assis-tant and sophomore at the institute."Whenever someone truly understandswhat the institute is, there is a feeling ofrespect that goes beyond the degree."

With everything that the institute has tooffer, it is not surprising that many peopleare upset with the college's decision to

CARes gets 'Biased' about drug useFrank Pippo

Staff writer

Dr. Lonise P. Bias is on a mis-sion to save the next generation ofchildren from the evils of today'ssociety. And she made a stop atConcordia on Monday to send stu-dents on this mission.

"You are our leaders, you willtake us into the 21st Century,"Bias said.

Bias is a native of WashingtonD.C. She is the mother of the lateLen Bias, the University ofMaryland basketball player whodied as a result of a drug problemon June 19, 1986, only two daysafter being drafted by the Boston

Celtics.Bias' career launched when she

was asked to make comments atthe memorial service for her son.

She now works approximatelysix months of the year, makingthree to five presentations a weekon the issues of drugs, alcohol,family, hope and love.

Bias speaks as a woman whohas gone through a lot of grief.Especially after losing anotherson, Jay, shot to death by twoyoung males. Yet, she remains apillar of strength by helping othersto avoid or cope with the majorissues that plague our society.

Bias' energy helped captivatethe attention of her Concordiaaudience. Approximately 300

attended the event sponsored bythe CARes organization.

Bias explained how she canlove everyone, but not know everyindividual personally. She saysshe is able to understand a lovethat provides a sensitivity towardsothers.

"I want you to know that thegreatest love is to love yourself.And you cannot use self as anexcuse to fail," Bias said.

She said learning respect forothers is important, but learning torespect yourself is just as impor-tant. And now, at the age of 50,Bias said she continues to learnabout love and respect.

Bias feels that social issues arenot the real problem. The number

one problem in her mind is peopledisrespecting authority.

"We have people rebellingagainst positive human authorityand nothing else. Positive authori-ty is what leads to life and pros-perity ... negative authority is whatleads to death and destruction,"Bias said.

She discussed basic principlesas well. She told the audience ananecdote about speaking in frontof some elementary school chil-dren. When she said the word"principle" all the kids turnedaround and looked at their schoolprincipal.

The Concordia audienceresponded with laughter.

"A basic principle is this, you

will reap what you sow," saidBias.

She explained that there are noeasy places in this life and that thefoundation for life is a willingnessto listen.

She turned her attention to theyoung men in the audience andhad them stand up while sheexplained in her words what man-hood should be all about.

She went from there to tell astory about an ancient Greek whodrank from the cup of life lookingto promote his self-confidence.She touched base with the idea ofdenial, saying it is the greateststate in the United States of

Quebec stays in CanadaSuccession defeated by one percent of voteStephanie Carlblom

Staff writer

Sonia BitzAssistant News Editor

B y a one-point margin,Quebecers voted againstsuccession from Canada

Monday. The country wasspared a traumatic break, but theFrench-speaking province wasleft split down the middle.

According to the Montrealassociated press, final returnsfrom 22,400 polling stationsshowed the federalists won 50.6percent to 49.4 percent, a 50,000vote margin of 4.56 million citi-zens.

Separatists vow to try againfor independence. The issue isfar from settled. Prime MinisterJean Chretien, in a televisedaddress, appealed for reconcilia-tion and asked separatists leadersto work to pursuing politicalchange.

Quebecers' main concern isthat the French culture and tradi-tions are not being preserved.Many separatists cried, "Wewant our own country."

The last time the issue cameto a vote was in 1980. The sepa-

ratist campaign fell in that inde-pendence referendum by a 60 to40 percent margin.

With some Concordia stu-dents, the decision hit close tohome.

"I think Quebecadds so much cul-turally and histori-cally to Canada, itwould be a great

loss."

—Aquila SamsonConcordia sophomore

from Winnipeg

Senior Steve Gallien fromOntario spoke of how Canadahas given Quebec a lot and theystill want more.

"I think the vote was goodeconomically, without exception,for Canada as a whole. But Ithink that for the morale of thecountry, it was bad."

"For the past 50 years, we'vehad to listen to them whine andso many of us are just tired of it.So part of me is glad and part ofme is disappointed," he added.

A separatist victory couldhave spelled economic problemsfor Canada as Gallien stated. Itwould have lost one-fourth of itspeople and one-sixth of its land.

Junior John Nikolou fromRegina, Saskatchewan, did notexpect the vote to be so close.

"If Quebec had gone, thewestern provinces would havegotten more power and it wouldhave been better for westernCanada. But it would have hurtour economy," Nikolou said.

It's clear that the issue willarise again and it could go eitherway in another vote.

"In my opinion, it is not aclear victory because it was soclose. Neither side can claimvictory. It's scary that so manypeople want to leave Canada. Ithink Quebec adds so much cul-turally and historically toCanada, it would be a great loss,"Winnipeg resident, sophomoreAquila Samson said.

Fellow Winnipeg residentGwynne Johannesson is equallypleased about the vote.

"I'm very happy that Quebecis staying. It would be sad if theyleft. I think it would be a bigburden on the rest of the countryif they did [leave]," Johannessonsaid.

Sophomore Amy Hewettthinks if the vote would havegone the other way, it wouldhave meant big trouble forCanada.

"What would have happenedif Quebec had left is it wouldhave separated the country.There would have been a linger-ing unrest between the Englishspeakers and Quebecs. It wouldhave disturbed the economy,education, and every part of thecountry," the Manitoba residentsaid.

Sophomore Kjersten Hordenfrom Regina Saskatchewan looksfavorable on Canada's future

"I think most of Canada wasrelieved by the no vote. There'sbeen a lot of apathy in the rest ofCanada and I think that's overnow because the vote was soclose. I think this will be takenmore seriously. Hopefully, therewill be better times ahead forCanada," she explained.

This is clearly an issue thatconcerns Canada as a whole.Ninety-two percent of the rough-ly five million registered votersturned out in response to thishighly passionate campaign.

Students sleep out under the starsHabitat for Humanity addresses homelessnessHolly Strandberg

Staff writer

T he moon turns to ivoryand the bell tower isframed in a deep blue,

finding its way to black. Nighthas fallen on campus, and so haspeace for Concordia students.Night brings some rest, relax-ation and spending time withfriends.

For the unfortunate, nighttimeis dreaded. With no place to go,people make their beds underbridges, in a cardboard box, on astreet bench or in a shelter.

On Oct. 20, some Concordiastudents stepped out of theircomfort zones and into the coldreality of homelessness at thesecond annual sleep-out. In card-board boxes outside of Knutson,students kept warm with layersof clothes and sleeping bags.

"It may be an inconveniencefor one night, but some peoplehave to do it every night," juniorCorey Allrich said.

The event, sponsored byHabitat for Humanity,

Tabernacle and SocialJustice, was used to "raise aware-ness about homelessness,"according to Colleen Healy ofthe Habitat for Humanity Board.

"[People] see things theyaren't used to seeing or maybearen't so comfortable seeing. Ittakes them out of their comfortzone. I think any time you'retaken out of your comfort zone,you're learning," Healy said.

The event is directly connect-ed to Habitat for Humanity'spurpose: building or renovatinghouses for people living in sub-standard housing.

The ne£d for awareness ismost obviously seen when onemeets someone in need, face toface, as Healy did on a Habitattrip to Colorado.

She recalls an elderly womannamed Lita in Loveland, Colo.,who lives on a farm with her hus-band, a polio patient For money,Lita sells the milk of the twocows they own. Their front dooris made out of a piece of ply-wood with a hook for protectionfrom any danger. In the winter,

Lita would stuff coats around thedoor to keep out the cold drafts.

"I could kick open that door,and I'm not that strong. I justthink about how unsafe she is,"Healy said.

Through Habitat, Litareceived a new door and renova-tions including shingles, a freshcoat of paint, and a corral for hercows, according to Healy.

Sometimes it takes actuallyseeing the need to feel the wantto help, as was Lita's case.

At the sleep-out, studentswere able to see the impact ofassistance first-hand through awoman named Sylvia.

Sylvia talked to the groupabout the assistance available tothose in need in the Fargo-Moorhead area and how theseplaces help to get people back onthe track to an independentlifestyle.

"Concordia students need tohear that message," said HopeDahl, who is involved withTabernacle.

"I think that it's important forConcordia students to get

shocked into realizing that noteveryone has the same kind oflife we do and that they shouldbe aware of that," she said.

Healy said that many peoplego on a Habitat trip expecting togive so much.

'The ironic thing is that youdo give, but I think you get a lotmore," she said.

"I think that you may under-stand grace a little more and howGod's love empowers you.Because you are loved, you areable to love others. You maygive [the people you help] a littlehope; hope that people careabout them when they don't evenknow who they are."

Healy also shares in this hopefor the sleep-out.

"Each year it's getting big-ger," according to Healy. Thisyear there were about twice asmany people sleeping out as lastyear.

"As I sit here and shiver," shesaid, "I think about how lucky Iam that I'm choosing to sleep outand not having to sleep out"

AmendedPHC'sbudgetpassesSonia Bitz

Assistant News Editor

T he Peer HealthCounselors, a counselingand referral service for

Concordia students, succeeded ingetting their amended budgetapproved. Student Senatorsapproved the $900-budget pre-sented on Sunday.

The PHC's cut $1,300 fromtheir original proposal with thehelp of outside funding. CampusEntertainment Commissionagreed to contribute $500 andStudent Affairs chipped in anadditional $800 from their budget.

Senate Chair Mike Raumexplained why the $2200 budgetfailed the first time.

"Last week it came down to thecash and we just didn't have it.Some things just come down tothat. I do feel this is a good dealfor us now," said Raum.

Much of the debate stemmedfrom the speaker the PHC'splanned to book with their money.Nationally renowned speaker. JayFriedman, .would focus on mattersrelated to sexuality. Senators weremainly concerned about atten-dance, since they felt most ofthese issues are already covered inhigh school sex education.

Freshman Senator JessFulkerson claimed he had donesome personal research on thematter.

"I was really pleased to learnwe'd get a second crack at thisbudget. I went out to talk to a lotof people, mostly freshman, andthe majority felt this was worth-while and would go."

Freshman Senator SarahTrapanese agreed and lookedfavorably on the PHC's secondeffort.

"I feel an organization whoworked this hard to get this speak-er and get the price cut this muchwill get their message across. Ithink they'll get a good turn out."

"I had trouble finding peoplewho would go to this. It's good tosee the dollar-figure going down,but from what I've gathered mostpeople don't think this is worth-while," said Junior SenatorSelmer Moen, who voted againstthe budget.

Peer Health Counselor EllenHoel felt good about the decision.She stressed the importance of thesenators recognizing the validityof the speaker.

"We're really glad about thedecision, especially since it didn'tget approved the first time andthey gave us a second chance.We, the PHC's, feel this speakerwill still be well attended no mat-ter how many times you've beentalked to about sex issues."

The PHC budget was approvedten to three. The Student Senatealso approved student advocates,student association executives andstudent business office budgets.

Local grocery storehelping 'Cobber Kids'Collecting receipts brings cashStacey Haugen

Staff writer

T hanks to local Sunmart stores,Concordia's Cobber Kids daycaremight be going shopping.

Sunmart has developed a program thatallows customers to save their receipts fromitems purchased at Sunmart. For every$150,000 in receipts, Sunmart will give$1,000 to the non-profit organization thatsaved the receipts to use in any way theysee fit.

"This program helps non-profit organi-zations like schools, churches, special edu-cation and any educational type facility,"said Dale Terry, assistant store manager at aMoorhead Sunmart.

One non-profit organization that hasrecently been participating in Sunmart'sprogram is the Cobber Kids Corner day-care center. Anita Brandenburg, director ofCobber Kids Corner, read about the pro-gram in the paper and thought it would be a"great opportunity to earn extra dollars."

"$1,000 does a lot for a center like thisand builds up resources for parents andteachers," Brandenburg said.

Cobber Kids Corner's budget comesfrom tuition and subsidies throughConcordia College. "We try to keep our

budget as low as we can and make do withwhatever we have here and donated items,"said Brandenburg.

With about 45 children coming to theday care center, many resources are neededfor the children. "Kids are hard on toys andwe need to replace items over time," saidBrandenburg.

Some of the resources Brandenburgwould like to purchase with the money thatpossibly will be earned by the Sunmart pro-gram are computer programs to help thekids, a toddler loft and other needed toysand equipment.

"It is important to let everyone knowthat we appreciate people sending even areceipt from a bottle of pop," saidBrandenburg. "Receipts are just starting tocome in by mail and students who are vol-unteers here have offered to help watch forreceipts," said Brandenburg.

"We should commend Sunmart for theprogram and caring about the community,"said Brandenburg.

Community reaction to the program hasbeen noticeable at Sunmart. "A couple peo-ple asked if they could help people withlearning problems and a couple of churchgroups called on the phone and asked howthey could help," said Terry. photo by Peter Frank

O nce again, law enforcement offi-cials in the Fargo-Moorbead areawant to remind college students

that they are not immune to crime.One student can testify to that fact.For most people, Friday the 13th comes

and goes with little ceremony. But for oneMoorhead resident, ten minutes of lastFriday me 13th cost her her television andvideocassette recorder./'i^J-v;^;^:^:;^;

Erin Johnson, a junior' at MoorheadState University, left her apartment at 2503

When she returned ten minutes later at11:50 ajn., she found her front doorwideopen, the screen to her patio door lying onthe ground outside and her TV and VCR

The'burglars gained entry to the resi-dence by removing the screen and poppingthe pins in the lock of the patio door.

"At our apartment, all the screens areattached on the outside. They are so easy tobreak into," Johnson said. One ofJohnson's roommates frequently lockshimself out and gets into the ground-levelapartment like this. Johnson think that theburglars might have seen him do this andfollowed suit.

"It's way loo lucky for them to gel awaywith it in the middle of the day. They hadto have known how many roommates wehave and been watching us," said Johnson.

Except for the missing television and

VCR, the apartment itself showed no signsof intrusion. Because everything appearedto be untouched, it took Johnson a coupleof minutes to realize what had been taken.

Her stereo and compact discs were justas she had left them, even though her TVand VCR had been right beside them.

Johnson asked the police officer on thescene if he was able to take fingerprints."He was unable to do so because the screenwas outside and wouldn't hold the (Hintswell due to the weather," Johnson said.

'The elements probably worked likemagic and erased the prjnts," said Johnsonwith frustrated sarcasiri.r^v.::-"o:Vjl^-:-v '̂'-:^;

"If we find a mechanism that not every-one and their brother has touched, we'll

fingerprint does any good is if the perpe-trator has been printed for another crime.

' Considering McCarthy's guess that only 20percent of the burglaries in Moorhead aresolved, there aren't an abundance of fin-gerprints to compare. ^ • .

Residents of Moortiead find Erin'sexperience all too common. This year,Moorhead has already seen 120 burglaries.Police records indicate that the number ofburglaries decreased steadily from 236occurrences in 1990 to 180 in 1994.However, McCarthy says that this decreaseis due to better recording and not an actualdecrease in crimes.,,. ^ ^ i i v ; - ^> r / .

It has become increasingly difficult topawn stolen goods in Fargo-Moorhead,according to McCarthy. To pawn some-thing here, a person must be 18. Tracingmethods have gotten extremely sophisticat-ed. As a result, pawning requires that theitems be takep, either to/: Chicagoor

stolen goods in the area, juveniles whoaren't gang members break into carsinstead of houses. "Non-gang kids doingthat pretty much get collateral for drugs,"McCarthy says. Only gang -members-arelikely to go to Chicago or Minneapoliswith carloads or truckloads of goo^s to

locking doors, getting a deadbolt, and mak-ing the house look lived in when uninhabi-tated.

"Get someone to mow the lawn, pick upthe mail or shovel the snow," he said.

While it used to be that more burglariesoccurred in the summer than the rest of theyear, such isn't the case anymore.McCarthy is quick to point out thatalthough people often think that migrantworkers are responsible for the thefts, thisisn't true.

Although McCarthy says that most ofMoorhead's burglaries occur in the south-

corner of town, where Johnson lives,he stresses mat crime happens all over.;fc-Johnson, however, is ready to try herTlibk in another part of town. #&$£#M',

Very few people break patio doorsbecause when they break, "it's like a shot-gun going off," McCarthy said. Most peo-ple have burglar bars that prevent whathappened to [Johnson] from happening. Ifthey don't, they should because using a prybar pops the door right off its track, he said.

Clinton, House Republicansstill cannot agree on budgetWASHINGTON (AP) - PresidentClinton will meet with congres-sional leaders Wednesday toexplore how the government canavoid defaulting on its debts dur-ing the battle over the budget, theWhite House said today.

The meeting was suggested bySenate Majority Leader Bob Doleduring a telephone conversationlate Monday with White Housechief of staff Leon Panetta.

The subject is to be taken up atthe end of a meeting betweenClinton and the congressionalleadership on Bosnia. WhiteHouse press secretary MikeMcCurry discouraged speculationthat the meeting might be thebeginning of budget negotiationsbetween the administration andCongress. He said they would be"talking about default, not bud-get."

House Speaker Newt Gingrichsaid today he had not heard fromClinton about the meeting and

added, "I want the president to calland say he's serious and not haveany more public relations games... It's time for the president toslow down and take seriouslywhat's happening in government."

Dole confirmed today that heinitiated the conversation, and hadyet to speak with Gingrich. Dolesaid it seemed best to talk directlywith Clinton.

Wednesday's meeting comes inthe wake of a rare conciliatorynote from the head of the SenateBudget Committee in the battleover balancing the federal budgetand keeping the government oper-ating.

Chairman Pete Domenici, R-N.M., said he would consider lift-ing the debt ceiling to permit bor-rowing through November - butnot through January as the admin-istration would like.

Domenici's idea gained littlesupport from other GOP leaders.

Dole, R-Kan., and Gingrich, R-

Ga., said Monday they were wait-ing to hear from President Clinton.They balked at discussing the debtlimit question with TreasurySecretary Robert Rubin.

But an administration officialwho requested anonymity saidtoday that Dole made a point ofinviting Rubin to attend theWednesday discussions. Dole"brought it up himself," the offi-cial said when Dole talked onMonday to Panetta.

Gingrich said: "It's very hard tofollow Rubin, so it would be niceto talk to his boss."

"I think there's some feelingamong Republicans that SecretaryRubin's been so political... that hedoesn't have a lot of credibility uphere," Dole told reporters. "Hemay have a good case, but nocredibility. If this is this important,it ought to be ratcheted up to thepresidential level."

Republicans are refusing to raisethe debt limit until Clinton agrees

to their plans for balancing thebudget in seven years, cuttingtaxes and scaling back Medicareand Medicaid.

The House and Senate passedsimilar versions of a sweepingbudget bill last week and negotia-tors are to meet to work out thedetails. Clinton has said he wouldveto the measure.

Rubin said Congress is actingirresponsibly by refusing to sepa-rate the debt limit issue frombroader budget matters to avoidthe first default in the federal gov-ernment's history. He proposedlast week that the $4.9 trillion debtlimit be raised by $85 billion,enough to keep the governmentgoing into next year.

"Linking a debt limit increase toresolution of differences on thebudget could cause profound dam-age to our country," Rubin said.

Rubin said that without animmediate extension of the gov-ernment's borrowing authority, the

Treasury will run out of cash andbe unable to issue new securitiesnext week.

That's when the departmenthopes to borrow the lion's share of$61.5 billion to fund the govern-ment in the fourth quarter thatbegan Oct. 1. Rubin said the bor-rowing plans would be disruptedif Congress failed to raise the debtceiling promptly.

The projected $61.5 billion inborrowing presumes a cash bal-ance of $20 billion on Dec. 31.

The Treasury hopes to announceWednesday how it will sell thedebt for the quarterly refunding. Itwould include three-year and 10-year notes and a cash-manage-ment bill. A regular weekly auc-tion of three-month and six-monthTreasury bills is scheduled forMonday.

Yeltsin to remainout of Kremlinuntil December

MOSCOW (AP) - PresidentBoris Yeltsin, recuperating in ahospital from his latest bout ofheart trouble, took care of somepaperwork from the Kremlintoday, but is still not well enoughto receive visitors. - \. •

Yeltsin's condition was"unchanged and stable" today,according to his spokesman,Sergei Medvedev. He said doc-tors were keeping a close eye onthe 64-year-old president, whowas hospitalized Thursday withheart problems for the secondtime in four months.

Yeltsin was working on docu-ments sent to the hospital today,Medvedev said. On Friday, thespokesman said Yeltsin remainsin control of the country, includ-ing Russia's nuclear arsenal, butwill have to stay away from thepressures of the Kremlin untilDecember.

Yeltsin has canceled trips toNorway and China next month. Asummit he planned to hostTuesday with the presidents ofBosnia, Croatia and Serbia wasalso postponed.

Whether he remains in thehospital or moves to the govern-ment resort outside Moscowwhere he recuperated last July,Yeltsin's heart condition willkeep him out of the public eye forweeks _ a potential boost to hisfoes in parliamentary electionsset for Dec. 17.-••if

'&; Medvedev acknowledged lhatYeltsin's absence from the politi-cal spotlight could play into the

hands of his hard-line and nation-alist foes, who already lead inpolls.

"NA11 those who considerthemselves to be PresidentYeltsin's opponents," Medvedevsaid, may "take the opportunityto influence public opinion anddefend their anti-presidentialpositions." Yeltsin has not associ-ated himself with any party, but isloosely backing the centrists andreformists while assailingCommunists and the followers ofultranationalist VladimirZhirinovsky.

Yeltsin has said he is waitingfor the parliamentary results todecide whether to run for re-elec-tion himself in June.

He became Russia's first pop-ularly elected president in 1991.But his popularity has plummet-ed in the last two years over hiserratic leadership style, the war inChechnya and economic trou-bles.

Aides blamed Yeltsin's relapseThursday on overwork anddescribed it as another case ofacute ischemia. His July/attackwas also diagnosed as acuteischemia, a condition thatrestricts the flow of blood to theheart

North Dakota manrecommended forSoldier's Medal

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A NorthDakota man has been labeled ahero for rescuing a wounded fel-low soldier during last week'ssniper attack at an Army base inNorth Carolina.

Spec. 4 Joshua Polasky, 23, a1990 graduate of Wahpeton HighSchool, has been recommendedfor the Soldier's Medal. He is theson of Patricia and David Knutsonof Fargo.

Polasky carried to safety one of18 people wounded when a sniperfired on members of the 82ndAirborne Division last Friday atFort Bragg, N.C., said his room-mate, Spec. 4 Jamie Parado. Oneman died in the attack.

Maj. Rivers Johnson, aspokesman for the 82nd Airborneat Fort Bragg, said the Soldier'sMedal is awarded for heroism out-side of actual armed conflict.

\ He said it is uncertain whetheror when Polasky will receive themedal. Investigators still are sort-ing out the events.

Tm sure we had a lot of heroesdown there, " Johnson said. "Themain thing was taking care of thesoldiers and family members, andnow all the individual acts aregoing to come out.11

Polasky and Parado wereamong 1,300 soldiers who were ona base football field when theshooting started from a nearbywooded area.

Parado said a man he identifiedonly as Staff Sgt Graves was hitby the sniper and began scream-ing. Parado said he coveredGraves with his own body andthen; as the sniper continued fir-ing, Polasky grabbed Graves and

ran."Without nobody telling him,

he grabbed Sergeant Graves andput him on the crest of a hill so hecouldn't get (hit again)," Paradosaid."%We ran up the hill while wewere still receiving fire."

A medic arrived to give Gravesfirst aid, Parado said.

Polasky then picked up thesergeant a second time and, stillunder fire, carried him to safety ina nearby building, his roommatesaid.

Other soldiers subdued thesniper.

4lNo one told Josh to do any-thing," Parado said. "He just did itall on instinct. When I pulledmyself over Sergeant Graves, itwas because someone said to. Joshdid it because he knew it was theright thing."

"Josh is genuinely a hero," hesaid. "He didn't really care abouthimself. He took care of SergeantGraves in a situation where a lot ofpeople would have left him there."

Patricia Knutson said that whenshe asked her son about the inci-dent, his reply was, "I really didn'thave a choice. They shot the guybeside me."

Polasky has declined to discusshis bravery, and his mother saidfamily members would not haveknown of it if Parado - who hasalso been recommended for theSoldier's Medal - had not toldthem.

"If it wasn't for his roommate,we wouldn't know anything aboutit," she said. "He didn't mention itto anybody at all. He's j ust kind of,'it's no big deal.1"

Peace talksbring outpride ofOhioresidents

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) —Residents are proud that theBosnia peace talks are takingplace in their back yard, but someare probably a little confusedabout the players and issues, abusinessman said.

Tony Spaziani owns a restau-rant in Fairborn just a stone'sthrow from Wright-Patterson AirForce Base, where the leaders ofBosnia, Serbia and Croatia werescheduled to begin talks todayaimed at ending the four-year-oldwar in the Balkans.

Dayton has been basking in theinternational spotlight, and sever-al high-government officials havereferred to the upcoming negotia-tions as the "Dayton talks."

That has some noses out ofjoint in Fairborn, a community of30,000 that actually is closer tothe base.

John Dalton, executive directorof the Fairborn Area Chamber ofCommerce, said some residentsare upset because Dayton seemsto be getting more attention.

"The phone's just burning offthe hook," said Dalton. "I don'tknow how they'd be the Daytontalks."

More than 350 reporters andphotographers have requested cre-dentials to cover the talks. Themedia represent 20 foreign coun-tries.

Some veteran internationalreporters who have covered theBosnian civil war said they weresurprised that a military base insmall-town America was selectedas the site of the peace talks.

Zoran Jevdjevic, a reporterwho covers international affairs inSerbia, said the AmericanMidwest seems a strange place tohold the negotiations when previ-ous talks have been held in inter-national capitals such as Genevaand London.

"This is not the center of anycountry," said Jevdjevic. "This is asmall town."

Once the talks begin, informa-tion may be hard to come by. Themedia center at the base will beclosed, and any statements aboutthe progress of negotiations willbe released by the StateDepartment in Washington.

However, at least one grouphopes to eavesdrop on base activ-ities.

The Bearcat Radio Club, aKettering-based group of scannerradio enthusiasts, has been listen-ing in on radio transmissions atthe base as officials prepare forthe talks.

Schrein said that so far he hasonly picked up harmless pieces ofinformation, like where televisioncrews are parking their satellitetrucks and bow the base hotel isarranging flowers.

Once upon a time there was a man.This man felt that he had no purpose in life.

One day, he decided to write for The Concordian.All was then well with the world. The End

The people speakRaum's column"disturbing"

To the Editor,

At the risk of being labeled an"ideological, humorless boomer," Ifind some of the Sept. 29 remarks of•The Right Side" by Michael Raumto be disturbing. For example, Raumonly repeats personal foibles aboutBill Clinton.

President. Clinton, despite hisyouthful misgivings about the use ofAmerican violence, has continuedthe American tradition of resortingquickly to violence to solve prob-lems. Clinton and Janet Reno contin-ue to defend the Waco raid and blamethe deaths on Koresh, an obviouslyunbalanced man — and the 22 chil-dren just got in the way? Waiting oreven dropping in LSD, instead oftanks, couldn't have done any worse.In the summer of 1993, Clintondialed lottery justice for an allegedplot against George Bush, sent mis-siles at Baghdad and killed eightinnocent people; there has been nofurther word on the alleged plot.President Clinton is a minor leaguerin the use of American violence com-pared to Reagan and Bush (CentralAmerica, Panama, and the 100,000

children killed in the "bomb now, dielater" policy of the Iraqi war).

Domestically, Clinton's "puttingpeople first" has been replaced by"putting corporations first." Hebelieves that the globalization of theeconomy is both inevitable and good.Even though he is a Christian, hesees humans as "individuals-in-a-market" more than as "persons-in-community" (John B. Cobb, Jr.,"Sustaining the Common Good: AChristian Perspective on the GlobalEconomy"). Yet, most of Clinton'spolicies and instincts are morehumane than those of theRepublicans, who won't be happyuntil the top 1 percent own 99 per-cent of the wealth in the U.S.

Raum also repeats the essence ofthe conventional wisdom aboutColin Powell and the "sensible cen-ter" (see, for example, the TRB col-umn in the Oct. 16 "The NewRepublic"). Powell's message urgesthat military spending be kept closeto the bloated levels of the 80's todefend U.S. economic and corporateinterests around the world and tomeet the challenges of poor countrieslike Iraq, whom the U.S. had helpedto the GNP and military equivalentof Iowa before leveling it to keep theO-I-L flowing. Powell also cheersthe fact that the U.S. now accountsfor almost 75 percent of the world's

arms trade, a certifiable commerce indeath -- often to dictatorships andsometimes to the opposite sides of aconflict. The number of child victimsof such commerce reaches into themillions. Yes, children are easy prey,even to the sensible center of theU.S. political spectrum.

Polis is the Greek word for "city,"and politics is concerned with life ofthe city or any human community.Most of the Bible was written fromthe point of view of the poor andpowerless - not from the point ofview of people pursuing wealth,power, or personal agendas. AConcordia grad, Marcus Borg, hasdefined a relationship between reli-gion and politics: "In this sense of[politics], biblical religion is intrinsi-cally political, for it is persistentlyconcerned with the life of a commu-nity living in history" (from "Jesus:A New Vision"). It would be nice tosee some of this sense of politics inThe Concordian.

Sincerely,

Roland James '69

theNovember 3,1995 CONCORDIAN OPINION 9The only thing to fear is truth itself

TammyChristiansen

Much madness is perfectsense

My greatest strength at thepiano is the ability to cover upmistakes. I just skim over difficult

passages lightly enough thatwrong notes cannot be heard.Unfortunately, neither can manycorrect notes. My piano professordid not appreciate the strategy andhounded me to play more aggres-sively, telling me to make mymistakes loudly and obnoxiously.How could I correct the sour notesif I didn't know they were there?

Last week in religion class, wewere discussing images ofMuslims. One student made thegeneralization, partly in responseto a video we had seen, thatMuslims seemed to be perhapsmore violent than people of otherreligions. Of course, being thesufficiently multi-cultural

Cobbers that we are, this youngman instantly became the carcassand we the circling vultures. It

wasn't until after the class periodthat I remembered the advice ofmy piano professor.

As disciples of political cor-rectness, inclusive language andmulti-culturalism, we feel wehave gained more ammunition tofire at prejudice and silencestereotypes. We don't have to bein an academic setting likeConcordia long to learn the cor-rect way to think. Soon, the mostshocking statements to us arethose which reveal the hated atti-tude "intolerance" (surely a resultof Satan's influence). We pouncegreedily on any indication ofopinions deviating from the dog-ma of awareness. Is it possible tobe confined within the freedom ofacceptance and equality?

I wonder if I've been using the

same strategy here at college thatI use when playing the piano. Itseems to have become automaticto speak out against instances ofsexism, racism, ageism, ethno-centrism or any other ism: Theneedle on my emotion gaugepoints to outrage with machine-like consistency.

I've become so skillful at voic-ing only the correct opinions thatI didn't realize I hadn't reallyeradicated the others - I'd justcovered them up. As difficult as itis to admit it, I'm more likely tobe afraid of an African-Americanman than a Caucasian man whenwalking down a street at night. Iunhesilantly criticize women whocompromise themselves for menI've done my share of prostrating.I have a hard time accepting peo-

ple who are extremely over-weight. I don't think people I per-ceive as unintelligent are worthlistening to. and I automaticallyassume that football players arebeer-drinking idiots.

How do we know when we tru-ly believe what we're saying? Wemay be able to mouth the plati-tudes because we've been toldwhat to think, but is it that easy toerase the prejudices and stereo-types we've been inundated withsince birth? Are we better offbeing able to silence with quickanger the people who are eitherstupid enough or brave enough tomake a statement with the poten-tial to offend a multi-culturallysensitized world?

Why is it so difficult for us tospeak the truth?

Along the watchtower

I am not really sure when thelast time I slept was. In fact,sometimes it seems as if my daysjust kind of gel together intosome bland never-ending daythai eventually evolves into whatthe rest of the world calls aweek. It's not that my life boresme or that I am depressed, it justseems sometimes that there is acertain tinge of monotony in mylife. Get up, go to classes, study,blah, blah, blah.

I find myself falling into thiscynically bored type of mindsetevery so often. It usually hap-pens about two weeks beforebreak. This previous block wasnot any different. Toward theend of the block things werepretty mundane and (boy thiswill come as a big shock) I wassurfing my own private wave ofjaded thoughts and attitudes.Little did I know that by the endof the break, I would havelearned something that not allthe classes* lectures, or paperscould have shown me.

Well, before you chalk thiscolumn up as another "feel-good" column, there are somepoints that may be universallyapplicable.

When I went home toMontana (insert tasteless, triteand overused jokes here) overthe last break, I was ready toenjoy good food, good friendsand alas (certainely understated)good sleep. I was pretty muchcontent with the idea of sittingaround watching reruns of *TheA-Team" and eating com dogs.

The break seemed to be perfect-ly planned.

The key word in the previoussentence is "seemed." Twothings relatively unplanned hap-pened: First, since the weatherwas unusually pleasant, we (myfriends and family) decided totake a hike in the BeartoothMountains; secondly, mybestfriend had a child.

To hike around in the moun-tains was sort of a welcomeawakening. These mountainsmake a person seem to forget thelate, late nights of studying andthe hours of endless classtime-What my thoughts turned toinstead was the peaceful serenityof mountain lake and the wildlifethat surrounded me. Nature hasits own way of revealing ihebeauty of living; beauty that can-not be found in a textbook.

The same day I was hikingaround in the mountains, myhigh school best friend wasexperiencing life in a totally dif-ferent context, although lifenonetheless. While I was lookingacross a serene Lower BasinLake, Phil was celebrating hisdaughter's birth.

While his daughter, Abigail,is not and probably will not beaware of i t I saw life in herfather's tears as he held her; Iheard life in her cry. Anotherawakening.

Something jarred me thisbreak. Groggy and cynical, Iwas awakened by an infant's cry.And what I found may not soundlike anything to anyone, but tome what I found are treasures.Sure, I may only have acquiredmemories of a crying infant, of acrying father and of a Like soplacid that it made me feel as if Iwere the first to see it, but I alsoreceived a glimpse of theessence of life itself.

I certainly am not claiming tohave found the meaning of life.In fact, after this situation, I ammore inclined lo think that life'smeaning is so infinitely broadlhat to even try to comprehend itmay be futile* What I did find isa reminder: life is made for liv-ing, not existing.

Last Wednesday night, Ireceived a most unusual flyer onthe windshield of my car. It wasa poem, entitled "Ballad of aFargo Abortionist", proclaimingthe evils of abortion. It was dis-gusting...and it infuriated me:

'77/ strap her in the stirrups... then spread fier legs apart,

Thrust my hose into her womband suck out her infant's fieart.

Tlien I'll send your daughter,packed with cotton in her twat,

Back home to you, dear neigh-bor, without a second thought."

Coupons from Dominos, flyersabout campus events or lettersfrom friends are welcome on mywindshield anyday. This isn't

The issue of abortion isextremely touchy. Yet it is alsounique, for most Americans havean opinion about it, and thoseopinions are etched in stone.

I, for one, am pro-choice. Pro-choice, not anti-life (which ismore than I can say for some antiabortion protesters who advocateviolence and the killing of doctorsto reach their goals). Let me askyou, cowardly, nameless author,ofthis putrid trash, do you hope tochange my opinion? Throughyour stupidity, you have onlyaffirmed my stance.

It is my personal credo thatyou can do with your body what-ever you wish. Although we, asAmericans, can obviously notcontrol what ends up on our wind-shield, we can control what isdone to our persons.

The choice is clear to us all.We believe in what we will;

there's no changing that If youdon't believe in abortion, don'thave one. Dun. But don't blockmy way, shout your "morals" inmy face or terrorize my health careproviders. Oh, yeah. Lay yourslimy hands off my windshield.You can't have control of my car,

"Although, we, asAmericans, can

obviously not controlwhat ends up on ourwindshield, we can

control what is doneto our persons."

either.Let me ask you, anonymous

lamb (following God-knows-whatfanatic, but certainly not Christ):Why are you so concerned withan unborn child? Why aren't youconcerned with people? Perhaps

you should concentrate yourefforts on education of youngwomen. Or, maybe you couldpass out condoms instead ofrepugnant literature. Well, nevermind. If you do that, you mightbe "encouraging" sex, and wewouldn't want that Let's not nipit in the bud, but promote our"family values" to those who nei-ther have the resources, money,education or maturity level tohave families in the first place.Say, are you free to carry a babyfor the next nine months?

Let's just say, Mr. PaperPusher, that if abortions wereoverturned by the Supreme Court.Do you think the back-alley sys-tem of pre-Roe v. Wade woulddisappear? I don't think so. Yeah,the dark ages. A great time.

Furthermore, if you advocatefor the abolition of this right,sheep, what will be next on youragenda? Maybe some fanaticswill decide that mandatory steril-ization for males after they havehad so many children would be inorder. Impossible? Look atChina. They don't have a

Supreme Court to guarantee thembodily rights.

Why stop there? MandatoryAIDS testing, implemented blooddonating requirements...if ourbodies are no longer ours, thenthink of the possibilities!Actually, if I could mandate oneinterference of bodily rights, itwould be to tape your sheepishmouth shut.

The little rain-soaked piece ofpaper I discovered on my wind-shield last week did offer an out-let for my frustrations...or so Ithought. However, the threephone numbers listed at the bot-tom connected me with PlannedParenthood, The Fargo Clinic, etc.Little lambs are too cowardly toprint their names or phone num-bers on their propaganda, itseems. Take a stand. I'm MeghanLulf. I'm pro-choice. If I evercatch you putting things on mywindshield again, I'd like to havea long discussion with you. I'vealways heard that sheep have thelowest intelligence level of allfarm animals.

The Eco-illogical choiceCollette Adkins

Guest columnist

Death, destruction and sufferingare a big part of hunting. Of course,hunters tend to downplay the killingpart. Some point to starvation andthe lack of natural predators to jus-tify hunting. Increasingly, thesearguments are no longer accepted,as research comes out disprovingmany of the myths associated withhunting.

Some people assume that sincemost wildlife officials and gamecommissioners support hunting, itmust be a necessary and justifiable

practice. This is a naive assumption.According to "WildlifeMismanagement," "When the statebiologists are paid directly from[hunting] license fees, as they noware, the only ones the biologists arereally accountable for are the1sportsmen,' in effect their employ-er, and the biologists* decisions and'studies' reflect this bias."

Hunted and trapped wildlife rep-resent a cash crop for a segment ofsociety. To insure the sustained flowof revenue that results, wildlifemanagers structure hunting regula-tions in such a way as to insure aperennial supply of living targets.

Beyond the economic motive,there is another reason why the

wildlife management system is theway it is today: human self-interest.Ecosystems will by truly protectedonly when we realize that animalshave purpose independent of theirusefulness to humans. This comesdown to what we are taught. RonBaker writes in The "AmericanHunting Myth," "if we are toprogress toward a higher level ofculture in which compassion andreverence for life triumph overmaterialism and the profit motive,then children, adolescents andyoung adults must be taught torespect all forms of life."

Essentially, it is the modern daywildlife manager's job to increasethe demand for hunting by making

sure there is a surplus of game ani-mals. One way that numbers ofgame animals are inflated isthrough habitat manipulation.Controlled bums, clearcutting, anduse of toxic herbicides are just afew examples. While deer popula-tions are promoted, they do so at theexpense of other species.

Another way that game popula-tions are kept at higher than normallevels is through predator destruc-tion. In some states, predators likethe coyote, cougar and lynx may belegally shot or trapped. In the upperpeninsula of Michigan there werebounties on wolves with pamphletsbeing distributed reading, "Save adeer, kill a wolf today." In

Minnesota, researchers are workingto develop birth control for wolves.

Why? Every deer killed by apredator is one less that could bekilled by a gun and one less huntinglicense fee that could be obtained.In addition, there is concern forlivestock. The U.S. Department ofAgriculture has a nationwideAnimal Damage Control program.Predators are trapped, snared, poi-soned, shot from helicopters andfixed-wing aircraft, chased downwith dogs, or burned out of theirdens. Ironically, we spend 38 mil-lion dollars a year to kill predatorsthat kill 27.4 million dollars a year

Angie (left) and Jill (right) Carlin share birthdaysand several other interests, but here at Concordiathey don't share the same sport

Mark NygaardStaff writer

O n Saturday, Oct. 28, Jilland Angie Carlin turned20 years old within 27

minutes of each other.Yes, Jill and her younger sister

Angie are twins — identical twins.They look alike, except Jill has abeauty spot on her nose, has short-er hair and is a half-inch shorterthan Angie. They are both giftedathletes, but play different sportsin college. They are both good stu-dents, but Jill is majoring in envi-ronmental studies and Angie innursing. They share the same tastein clothes, food, music and prettymuch everything else.

Even their personalities are alot alike. However, "Jill tends tobe a little more outgoing whileAngie is a little more reserved/'their mother Barb Carlin says.

Not surprisingly, people oftenconfuse them. Many who havemet one approach the other andtalk to her as if they know her.Sometimes even relatives havetrouble telling them apart, Jillsays.

Angie says she has enjoyedbeing a twin in some ways andfound it difficult in others. Jillconcurs, saying that people toooften fail to see "the Carlin twins"as individuals, which "makes youfeel half existent." She under-stands it is natural for people toconstantly compare them, butsays, "it still kind of bugs me!"

"It hasn't been easy for them,"their father, Mark Carlin, says. Hebelieves they are fortunate,though, to have each other and tohave been so "unbelievably equal"over the years.

This equality is apparent intheir athletic achievements. Bothplayed on the school golf team intheir hometown of Fosston,Minn., from grades seven throughtwelve, the basketball team fromgrades eight through twelve andthe volleyball team from gradesnine through twelve.

Their golf team won the statetournament in their tenth, eleventhand twelth grade years. When theywere sophomores, Angie finishedsecond individually, and whenthey were seniors, Jill finishedthird. Both were all-conferenceguards in basketball, with theirteam finishing fourth at the statetournament in their senior year.Both were all-conference hitters involleyball, and their team tooksecond at state their senior year.Each won other individual honorsin these sports and participated inother activities as well.

Jill and Angie's love of and tal-ent for athletics seems to run in thefamily. They were introduced togolf and basketball by their father,who played those sports and foot-ball at Bemidji State University,where he has been inducted intothe hall of fame for his basketballperformance. Both Jill and Angiesay he is their biggest athletic rolemodel. "He's a stud!" Jill says.

Older brothers Tun and Dan arerole models, too. Tim played bas-ketball and golf in high schoolwhere his hoops team won thestate championship during hissenior year. He has continued togolf, first as captain of the team atConcordia and then as a licensedPGA pro at the country club inFergus Fall, Minn. Dan playedbasketball, golf and football inhigh school.

Jill and Angie's aunt BernieceCarlin got them started in volley-ball, and her daughter, KimRoysland, their cousin, was theirhigh school coach.

Both Jill and Angie say theyalways knew they would attendConcordia. Their brothers wereboth Cobbers, and Jill and Angiealways liked the exposure theyhad to Concordia. Jill says they"never really thought of goinganywhere else."

Deciding which sport to play incollege was much more difficultAfter being recruited for golf, vol-leyball and basketball, both wereplanning to play on the golf team.Four days before school started,however, Angie decided to play

volleyball instead.Now in their second year of

competition at Concordia, boththink they made the right decision.Jill says being on the golf team is"a lot of fun." She was quicklyaccepted by her teammates andhas come to feel very close tothem she says. Angie's experiencein volleyball has been much thesame so far. "I really enjoy it," shesays.

Both Jill and Angie have con-tinued to excel athletically in col-lege. Last year, as a first-year stu-dent, Jill earned all-MIAC and all-state honors in golf. This year shewon the conference meet, placedsecond in the ConcordiaInvitationa and helped the team goundefeated. She also helped themtake first place in the MIAC. Sheearned all-conference honorsagain with more competitionahead in the spring.

In volleyball last year, Angieled the team in digs and aces, wasnamed to some all-tournamentteams and was the only first-yearstudent named to the all-MIACfirst team. This year, she hasearned all-tournament honorsthree times, leads the Cobbers indigs and the conference in aces-per-game. She has helped the teamto a 25-6 record and first place inthe MIAC.

However, it has been difficultfor Jill and Angie to give up varsi-ty competition in the other sportsthey enjoy. Their father thinks Jillmisses the comradery of teamsports. She says it is hard to watchgames and only be able to wonderhow she could compete in thatsport at the college level.

Angie misses the head-to-headphysical competition of basketballand complains mildly about thenet that separates the teams in vol-leyball. Both feel that playingmore than one sport would be dif-ficult because of the time commit-

"[They are] team players, teamconscious and have never been

really excited about the publicity.'9

ment necessary. They try to fill thevoid by competing in intermuralsports.

Playing different sports hashelped Jill and Angie establishtheir own identities and has easedfierce competition they havealways had between them.Women's Golf Coach DuaneSiverson says that people "don'ttalk much about them as twins asmuch anymore."

Jill says "it's nice to be on adifferent team" from her sisterbecause "we compete with eachother in everything." Angieagrees, saying she enjoys being atwin more now because she andJill are not in "all the same things"anymore. "We definitely competewith each other," she says.

Jill and Angle's competitive-ness and intensity are big reasonsfor their success in athletics. "Jillis as competitive as any golferwe* ve ever had here," saysSiverson. "She doesn't give in,doesn't quit and works for every-thing she gets."

"Angie is hardworking, dedi-cated, very competitive, veryintense, very focused," saysWomen's Volleyball Coach TimMosser. "She believes that if sheplays well, if we play well, weshould win every time."

Jill and Angie have apparently

handled all of their success welland not let it negatively affecttheir personalities. Their fathersays he is proud of how they havehandled their success. They are"team player, team conscious, andhave never been really excitedabout publicity," he says.

Siverson has gotten to knowboth Jill and Angie and says bothenjoy life, have fun at everythingthey do, treat people well and"have gregarious personalities."

Mosser adds that Angie is"genuine, down to earth andaccepts people as they are." Eachcoach wishes he had both Jill andAngie on his team, but says he isjust grateful to have one of them.

Barb Carlin says that "whenev-er anything bad happens to one of(her daughters) the other one getsdown." She recalls that as childrenJill and Angie could be fightingwith each other one minute andunited against a common enemythe next. Often their motherbecame that enemy by scoldingone of them. She says Jill andAngie have always been "reallyclose in spite of the difficulties thecompetition between them pre-sents,"

of livestock.In addition to interfering with

the delicate predator-prey relation-ship, predator destruction in thename of livestock protection isoften ineffective. Dr. RobertGrabtree, professor of biology atMontana State University inBozeman, has found that popula-tions of coyotes hunted continuous-ly reproduce much earlier withmore pups per litter than coyotesfrom regions where hunting is out-lawed. As a result, coyotes areunder greater pressure to feed morepups and they increase their hunt-ing efficiency by taking livestock.

Some livestock ranchers havefound that using better fencing,guard dogs, night herding and cor-ralling can be a very effective alter-native to predator destruction.

Contrary to the arguments ofmany hunters, humans cannot sim-ply take the place of natural preda-tors. Natural predators are essentialto the ecosystem because theyremove the unfit and refine thegenetic characteristics of preyspecies. The human hunter, on theother hand, selects the best ani-mals.

Another way that hunting inter-feres with nature's system is that isalters prey reproduction. Studiesshow that a hunted herd of deer canproduce two to three times as manyfawns as a non-hunted herd. Morefemale deer ovulate when there ishunting as an emergency reactionto the loss of large numbers of deerin a short time. In addition, morebucks are killed that does, alteringthe sex ratio and maximizing thebirth rate.

It is estimated that for every ani-mal a hunter kills, at least two arewounded. Unrecovered animals dieslowly and painfully of blood loss,infection or starvation. For animalslike geese who mate for life andhave close-knit family units, theeffects of hunting are especiallysevere. One hunter decided to giveup the sport when, after shootinginto a flock of geese, he saw awounded goose cover her dyingmate with her broken wing andfaintly call to him as he died.Hunted animals suffer. Any humanthat contributes to this pain mustalso suffer - if the individual doesnot, humanity certainly does.

Starvation is one of the mostfrequently used justifications forhunting. To begin, carrying capaci-ty is not likely to be exceeded foran extended period unless deerpopulations are managed for hunt-ing. Nature is self-regulating.Scarcity and abundance are tempo-rary conditions that are a part of aliving process. However, the stressthat hunting inflicts on animals -the noise, fear, and constant chase -severely restricts their ability to eatadequately and store the fat neededto survive the winter. Some animalswill starve, yet we only apply thestarvation argument to animals thatwe want to hunt. We do not huntsongbirds because they mightstarve over the winter.

It is time that we start puttingecological considerations beforeeconomic considerations. It is timethat we start preserving the wilder-ness for the sake of wilderness. It istime to teach our children that ani-mals are sentient beings thatdeserve our wonder and respect. Itis time to stop sport hunting.

Cobs beat on hapless Scots 49-6Concordia will face St. John's Saturday with conference title on the lineColin Beltz

Sports writer

T he Cobber football teamcontinued hammeringopponents last Saturday

as they defeated Macalester 49-6at Jake Christiansen Field. Thewin, along with St. Olaf s 24-21upset of St. John's, places theCobbers and Johnnies in a first-place tie at the top of the MIACstandings with records of 8-1overall, and conference marks of7-1.

Concordia is now ranked thirdin the Division III West Regionfootball poll. St. John's droppeddown to a three-way tie for fifth.

The Cobbers scored on theirfirst possession of the game whenMike Halvorson took a hand-offfrom quarterback Kyle Odermannto punch the ball in from the one-yard-line.

Those seven points were allConcordia would need to win thegame. Macalester's only scorewould come on a 60-yard touch-down pass late in the second quar-ter. At the time the Cobbers werecomfortably ahead 28-0.

Concordia had another hugeoffensive game against the Scots.Besides scoring 49 points, theygained 521 yards, including 282rushing.

Halvorson said it was the kindof game the Cobbers needed. "Wewere looking not to get into a bat-tle in which we would have tofight the whole game with the St.John's game coming up next"

Eli Schuff led the team in rush-ing with 102 yards and one touch-down. His totals for the year are ateam high 749 yards on theground, with three touchdowns.

Mike Halvorson rushed for 33yards and caught six passes for 74

yards. He was the player who putthe game out of reach for the Scotsby scoring the first two touch-downs of the game. Halvorsonmoved his season total to 12touchdowns, a team high.

Odermann completed 18 of 29passes for 213 yards and threetouchdowns. With 1,105 yardsthis year, he is on track surpass the4,000 yards passing mark duringhis career in one of the tworemaining games for the Cobbers.

When the Cobber offense wasset into position, they were greet-ed by a big surprise. They wereexpecting to see the 5-2 defensefrom Macalester, but instead theywere greeted by the 4-3 scheme.

"We prepared all week for the5-2," said Cobber Head Coach JimChristopherson. "Macalestershowed it on film almost exclu-sively. I was pleased by the waywe picked it up and still gained521 yards."

Even though Macalester'sdefense was different than origi-nally thought, it was not necessar-ily a bad thing. Christophersonsaid that St. John's uses the 5-2defense many times each gameand it allowed the Cobbers to pre-

pare for both games.While the Cobbers win over

Macalester was not a surprise toanyone, the Oles win over theJohnnies was one of the biggestupsets in recent years.

The Cobbers will travel toCollegeville Saturday to battle theJohnnies in a game that will assurethe winner at least a share of theconference title. Coming awaywith a win is much easier saidthan done.

"It's a double-edged sword,"said Halvorson about the St.John's loss. "They will be veryhungry for a win and will want tostick it to the team they play next,which is us."

Next Saturday's game will bethe first time the Cobbers will

have played on St. John's homefield since 1988. Since, they haveplayed at the Metrodome or theFargodome. The Cobbers wonthat 1988 game, which allowedthem to advance to the DivisionIII playoffs.

Games against the Johnnies arenever easy, and it will only betougher in front of their homecrowd. "St. John's is a team that ispretty balanced," saidChristopherson. "They have adangerous running game," he said,"but their big plays seem to comefrom passing."

One of the players who willmake things difficult is Johnniewide receiver and kick returnerChris Palmer. He leads the con-ference in receptions, yards and is

second to Halvorson in touch-downs with eight. If that wasn'tenough, he is also just as big of athreat to score a touchdown onkickoff returns.

"To defeat St John's we needan 11 -man-game," saidChristopherson. "We need a goodgame out of the defensive line,linebackers, secondary and theoffense has got to score somepoints. It has to be a team effort inevery department."

The game is set to kickoff at1:00 p.m. on the St. John's cam-pus. For those of you who cannotattend the game, radio stationKVOX 1280 AM will carry itlive.

Cobbers finish ninth in MIACHeidi Beitz

Sports writer

The women's soccer teamwrapped up their season this pastweek, losing to St. Benedict's 5-0and tying Bethel 3-3 in overtime.The two games placed theCobbers ninth in the MIAC with a1-7-2 record.

Facing fourth place St. Ben's inthe last home game proved to be atough challenge for the Cobs. St.Ben's jumped to an early 4-0 leadin the first half, leaving theCobbers with a nearly impossiblecomeback. However, Concordiaremained strong, allowing onlyone more Blazer goal in the sec-ond half. Cobber goalkeeper AmyGentz finished the game with 11saves, while St. Ben's goalieSarah Dornbach finished withfive.

"SL Ben's is an awfully goodteam," remarked Head CoachDean Hashbarger. "It is alwaysgood to play great competition soyou can learn how to become abetter team. You learn what ittakes to beat a top-ranked team inthe MIAC."

Tina Myren evened the score, withAmy Martenson assisting on thegoal. Concordia then took thelead when Angie Tohmscored hertenth goal of the season on a per-fect pass from Britt Nielson.Bethel forward Mikaela Barlessagain tied the game at 2-2 shortlybefore halftime. Concordiafought hard to take the lead again,when Jessica Sauer set up KrystaMorgentaler for her final goal ofthe season.

Bethel denied the Cobbers thewin by coming back and eveningthe score before the end of regula-tion. Concordia continued to out-shoot Bethel in overtime but justcouldn't get the ball in the net.

"We had some tough luckagainst Bethel and felt that one gotaway from us. We dominated thegame and should have come awaywith the win," said Hashbarger.

Concordia ended their seasonwith an overall record of 4-10-3.Hashbarger was pleased with theteam's overall performance.Going into the season, they knewthey needed to improve theirdefense, and Concordia did allow15 fewer goals this season.However, with their defense

improving, they were not able toscore as many goals.

"For every goal we kept out ofthe nets defensively, we lost oneoffensively. That hurt in a lot ofour games and we need to concen-trate on being strong in both areasnext year," said Hashbarger.

Concordia is losing only threeseniors this year and know that thefuture is bright for women's soc-cer. Morgenthaler stated "it was atough, frustrating season and not alot of victories, but we grew as ateam and really pulled together thelast half of the season. It's sad tobe done and my time was wellspent with the program."

The Cobbers look forward to astrong junior class next season.They will have five seniors and atalented group of juniors andsophomores that have gainedexperience at the collegiate level.

Martenson summed up the sea-son by saying, "we had a season oftough luck, but it says a lot whenevery girl plays 100 percentwhether we're losing 5-0 or win-ning 5-0. We should all be proudof the way we pulled together andkept a winning attitude."

In the second match, the Cobswere paired up against Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Concordia handedEau Claire a loss by taking threeof four games. However, theCobbers paid a heavy price for thewin, as both Reitmeier and LaurieFlick were forced out of the gamedue to injuries. Both are expectedback for the MIAC Tournamentthis weekend. Jodi Tulibaski ledthe Cobbers against Eau Clairewith 20 kills. Tanya Jorgensonhad 19 digs.

'Tanya has been a pleasant sur-prise; she's really been contribut-ing," said Head Coach Tim

Mosser. "Tanya has good sense ofwhere to be and is really surpris-ing with her quickness."

Even though the Cobbers havelost two matches in a row for thefirst time since the beginning ofthe season, Mosser is not discour-aged. 4The losses take some ofthe pressure off the win streak (18matches). We were very tired thispast weekend, but are going intothe MIAC Tournament very confi-dent," he said.

On Oct. 26, the Cobbers trav-eled to St. Benedict's for theirfinal regular season MIAC match.The game was important to theCobbers in that they needed thewin to finish perfect in the MIACat 11-0 and to wrap up the top seedin the conference tournament.

The Cobbers endedthe season with a 12-4 recordoverall, 8-2 in the MIAC. Theconference title was the first insoccer in Concordia history.

Concordia, who wasgrouped in the West Region,was bypassed for post-seasonplay by UC-San Diego,Chapman College, ColoradoCollege and St. Thomas.

The playoff snub markedthe end of spectacular careersfrom three seniors, forwardsPeter Curry, Brian Mahan anddefenseman DaveSchlauderaff. Curry ended hisConcordia career with 112points, after collecting a team-leading 29 points (11 goals,seven assists) this fall. Mahanended with 98 career points,including 28 points (8 goals,12 assists) this season.Schlauderaff, who had fourassists this year, played steady,if not spectacular, defense inhis four years with theCobbers.

How do you succeed inbusiness without really trying?Concordia Theater takes a humorous look at this question in this year's musical production,

Erika MikkelsonStaff Writer

Concordia's continuing tradi-tion of theater excellence will bebrought to the stage once againwith the performance of "How toSucceed in Business WithoutReally Trying."

The musical comedy was orig-inally a best-selling self-helpbook, according to director JimCerxnak. The book was based onthe world of business during thesixties. It was then made into acomical two act musical by AbeBurrows and Frank Loesser.

The musical follows the life ofyoung J. Pierrepont Finch, playedby sophomore J.T. Framstad, as heclimbs his way up the corporateladder.

"J.P. Finch starts out as a win-dow washer. Then, he buys abook titled, 'How to Succeed inBusiness Without Really Trying.'He manipulates his way to the topof the company. Along the way,he falls in love," said Framstadabout his character. "A lot of peo-ple may think this is your standardcheesy musical. But it's not Ithink it's kind of cute."

"It (the musical) is a spoof. It'sa humorous look at the insideworld of executives," saidCermak.

"How to Succeed in BusinessWithout Really Trying" has been along-running Broadway hit. Theplay earned six Tony awards, aPulitzer Prize and the DramaCritic's Circle Award. ActorMatthew Broderick won a Tonyfor his portrayal of J. PierrepontFinch.

"It is a traditional musical the-ater piece. It follows theAmerican tradition of

Oklahoma.' It is not a rock operalike (last year's) "Jesus ChristSuperstar*," commented Cermak.

"Forty percent of the cast arenewcomers," said Cermak. "Theyare either first-year or transfer stu-dents."

The cast consists of 30 peoplewho play 64 parts. According toCermak, 75 people are workingtogether to put on this musical. Apit orchestra, directed by seniorSteven Mick, will provide theaccompaniment for the musical's12 songs.

Julie Aminpour, choreographerfor last year's production of"Jesus Christ Superstar" and hasreturned to work on this produc-

tion, to the delight of both direc-tor and cast.

"We have a fantastic choreog-rapher who creates stunning pic-tures on stage," said junior LaelVeldhouse.

Veldhouse plays the role ofHedy LaRue. "She is a formercigarette-girl trying desperatelyhard to be a secretary in the busi-ness. However, she doesn't quitehave the knack. Through the bossMr, Biggley (Peter Lerohl) shebecomes more that just a secre-tary, " said Veldhouse.

J. P. Finch's love interest isRosemary, who is played b>senior Amanda HamsRosemary's best friend, Smitty, is

portrayed by sophomore KarinaJanovsky.

"Smitty is Rosemary's bestfriend. She is also the head secre-tary. Smitty is the matchmakerbetween Rosemary and J.P.. Shehas a lot of spunk. Guys don'tboss her around," Janovsky said.

The cast and crew are anticipat-ing the upcoming performancesfor Concordia and the community.

"We have a group of endiusias-tic people who have put a lot oftime and energy into the show. Ithas been going very well," saidVeldhouse.

"It has been going well; weonly have one week left. I maexcited to have an audience; to

have people watch us," Framstadsaid.

Cermak believes this show willgive people an opportunity to sitback and relax. "It gives every-body the chance to get out andcome to the theater and take iteasy."

"How to succeed in BusinessWithout Really Trying" will openon Nov. 9and run through the-weekend. Performance will alsobe held the 16-18, with matineeson Nov. 12 and 19. Free studenttickets are available at the boxoffice in the Francis FrasierComstock Theatre.

The Cobber Critics

Kirk Hagberg and Andy Hay den

Well, hello again kiddies! I betyou thought we were gone forgood. Of course not! The CobberCritics are back in action. Let noone go forth to the theaters with-out digesting our reviews-youmight be wasting some of yourvaluable "starving college stu-dent" funds.

This week we have twomovies, each an opposite side ofthe ratings scale. "Clerics," withits small $25,000 budget, shocksthe pants off of most watchers and"To Die For" should have diedbefore it hit the big screen.

Remember not all movies canbe good. That is why we arehere(even if we're the ones pay-ing for it). So, once again, sit backand enjoy the cinema!

Clerks

the store. The characters are nor-mal people, so that's probablywhy it is so easy to relate to them.They also show a saucy anddemented side to the world ofretail, especially the character thatworks in the video store, whoalways shows up late, talks backto customers and closes the storewhenever he wants to.

The film brings you into thelife of a convenience store work-er, even if it is not very pretty.

"Clerks" will make you laugh,it will make you cry and it willeven gross you out! Overall, it's avery funny movie and it is great towatch in a group.

The Cobber Criticsgive it:

"Clerks" is about two college-aged guys who work in a smallconvenience store and a movierental store. The movie starts withDante, the convenience storeworker, getting jolted out of bedwith a phone call to come in towork. This is just the start of histremendous day. Working in thestore he encounters every type ofperson-from drug dealers, sales-men, people examining eggs forthe perfect carton, high schoolguidance counselors, girlfriends,ex-girlfriends and irate customers.

The movie progresses throughmany adventures that leave theviewers in stitches! If this is a nor-mal day working in a conveniencestore, no wonder no one wants thejob.

OurThoughts

To put a word to the film: fun-ny. This movie is so life-like youwill think you are a customer in

To Die ForThis week Nicole Kidman is

the focus of our theater release inher newest movie, "To Die For."In the movie, Kidman plays ananxious and extremely ditzynewsreporter who sets out to becomeimportant to a few too many peo-ple.

The movie's first section was along, boring and pointless mono-logue of Kidman babbling thatmade us want to get up and takeour business elsewhere. Thescenes to follow did not exactlyimpress us either. We scowled andfrowned upon her poor attemptsto act out the trifling monologue.

Combined with her tight-fit-ting clothes, Kidman's lack of anyremote form of intelligence turnedher into a sensuous female ForrestGump in front of everyone whohas ever seen this film.

OurThoughtsKidman's character was meant

to be taken seriously, but we weredistracted by her lack of concernfor her husband, which posed amajor threat to the storyline. Sheruined it even further with a sick-ening relationship with a yoiiftghigh school student that she vol-untarily made love to more than adozen times.

By the time Kidman's charac-ter was killed, we were so hypno-tized by the stupidity of choosingto critique this movie, we forgotto cheer.

By now, you surely have aclear picture of what our opinionis of this particular film. We hopeyou can understand, then, why wedidn't stick around to jot downnames from the credits. In fact,we were to dumfounded to thinkto demand a refund.

close the institute.Many students who are attend-

ing or have attended the institutefeel that the college is making abig mistake by closing it. "I thinkit is the stupidest thing that they(Concordia) have ever done," saidAndrea Myers, first year studentat the institute.

Many students feel thatConcordia's Moorhead campuscould have done a better job ofpublicizing the institute so thatmore first-year students wouldhave considered attending theinstitute as sophomores.

"Nobody on main campusknows about it," Good said."Nobody understands what theinstitute is or that it even exists."

Clark, who has worked to helpkeep the institute in operation,understands the student com-plaints but feels that there was nosingle factor that lead to its close.

"I understand from the peopleat the institute that they feel wecould have done a better job [withpublicity]," Clark said. He alsoexplained that communication

between the two campuses has notalways gone smoothly.

That fact has affected the senseof unity between people at theinstitute and students onConcordia's Moorhead campus,former institute students say.

Certain administrators feel thatthis was a problem because thestudents did not feel connected toConcordia.

"There was some tensionbecause not all of the studentsbought into the Concordia ethos,"said Homann.

"The reason there are bad rela-tions is because there are no tiesbetween the main campus and theinstitute," said Good. "If therewere more sophomores, therewould be stronger ties."

The closing of the institute alsocomes at a time when fewer stu-dents are choosing to studyGerman.

Students who attend the insti-tute leave with German majors,and it is likely that they would nolonger need to take German class-es at Concordia. As a result, some

students and faculty feel that someGerman professors are competingwith the institute for participation.

"There is some lack of enthusi-asm for the institute amongdepartment faculty here in lateryears," Homann said.

"If they could rather have thatstudent here at Concordia orBemidji, they would rather havethat student here," he said.

Despite accusations that therewas competition between the twocampuses, some members of boththe administration and the studentbody are sad to see the instituteshut down. "Dean Homann andPresident Dovre have gone togreat lengths to understand thenature of the institute," said Clark."For me [the closing of the insti-tute] is a perfect shame."

Present students also wish thatthey were given a chance to offersolutions that could have savedthe institute.

"Nobody had asked us [aboutthe decision to close the insti-tute]," Myers said. "A lot of peo-ple would have a ton to say if they

sent a representative out to talk tous."

"I believe that the administra-tion should have asked people atthe institute how to solve it's prob-lems," Good said.

According to Homann, howev-er, the administration decided notto consult the present studentsbecause the administration feltthat they knew how the studentswould react.

Presently the administration islooking at ways to redistribute theGerman library and find a way tocontinue utilizing the facilities sothat they won't go to waste. Theyare planning to organize mini-immersion programs that wouldlast only about four days.

The reality is that the Instituteof German Studies as it presentlyexists will close for good at theend of the year. "I am sad aboutthe fact that they have to close theinstitute," said Homann. "I thinkthe times were against (the insti-tute) and it is partly because fewerstudents are studying German."

BiasFrom page 1

America.She was very emotional

about alcohol, drugs and sui-cide taking away the youth ofAmerica.

"Suicide is a permanentsolution to a temporary prob-lem," Bias said.

She says in our society wetry to avoid dealing with theseriousness of death.

Bias said when we place allthe focus on topics like AIDS,it makes alcohol and drugsseem insignificant

She stressed a concern for anew sexually transmitted dis-ease turning up in women. Inits secondary stages it candevelop cervical cancer. AndBias told the young women inattendance that looking prettyfor someone docs not meanthey'll necessarily love you.Her message was that friendsand lovers have to love you formore than just your beauty.

The biggest need for youngchildren today, in her opinion,is the need for good healthyrole models in order to avoidthe devastating evils that chal-lenge them in our society.

Her explanation on how tobe a good role comes from oneword, "champions."

Bias explained that the wordstands for several others whichmake up what a good rolemodel should be. The wordsare: consistency, habitual,addictive, motivate, persis-tence, irresistible, offensive,notable, and stable. Thesewords have a significance inthe way we carry out our life.She suggested that the "s"could stand for seasons as well.

"Life is like seasons, you gothrough the winter, spring,summer and fall. The winter isthe worst of times but it doesnot last long because when thespring comes there is a chancefor a new beginning," Biassaid.

Bias said throughout herspeech, "Life is like a bowl oflemons and honey in it... some-times its sweet and then thereare times when it can turnsour."

She pointed out that toappreciate what you have now,you must get out and do thingsto enjoy it while it lasts. Youwon't know how important it isuntil its gone.
