The question comes to mind as to why it has been an issue for so many years. Maybe it's because intervis is like potato chips: once you have one you have to have more. Or maybe we feel that after we've had one, it would be good to have more. Why is it, then, that we have been given so little in comparison to our wants? Is it because the ad-ministration doesn't want us to have it? Is the administration seeming to pull a power play on the students to let all know where the power lies? Looking at it from the outside, this is what it would appear to be, for Student Association has met with administration year after year in quest of more intervisita-tion. Yet the advances have been minimal and very slow in coming. What we as students have overlooked is that some of the reasons we don't have more inter-visitation fall back to us, as in-dividuals. Yes, the administration does listen to the concerns of the students. But they also listen to the concerns of our parents and MARATHON continued from page 1 raises $1,000,000 he or she can pie 20,000 people or the same person 20,000 times. Money raised from this year's marathon will pay for a van for Luther Hall, a maternity home in Fargo. Currently they are using a hazardous old station wagon to transport clients to hospital tours, doctor appointments, and recrea-tional activities. A van will pro-vide Luther Hall residents with a safer and more accessible means of transportation. Luther Hall is an agency of Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota and serves that state, Min-nesota and South Dakota. Residents range in age from 12 to late 20's with the average age of 16 to 17. Luther Hall provides for a full range of counseling, prenatal, LaMaze instruction, educational and recreational services. Support of Luther Hall is the reason why 180 crazy Cobber will gather on Feb. 7 and 8 to ''let the beat move their feet."

Senators absent: Brad Da vie k, Dave Furnstahl, Maria Green, Dave Jasperson, Bill Lcadcm. 1. The meeting was called to order at 3:10 by vice-chairperson Secora. Student Association treasurer Rick Brandl reported that there was $4,322.77 in the Student Ac-tivity Fund; this included extra income of $1,272.09 from student activity fees, minus $340.24 which Student Production lost on last semester's concerts. Theo Olson of the Campus Life Facilities commission returned $239 of the $1000 which had been allocated to help fund the tree-planting project plann-ed for this spring. Olson explained that he and Paul Erickson had raised extra money from individual faculty and administration members. feel a strong need to weight paren-tal concerns very heavily in their decision-making. This may be frustrating to students because WE go to this college, not our parents. However, indirectly our parents greatly influence this institution because of their financial, and more importantly, verbal support. Parents have strong feelings about their children attending Concordia and express these feel-ings to other parents with young prospective Cobbers. We may not like this, but that's the way it is, plain and simple. I don't mean to paint a bleak picture of intervis in the future, merely a realistic one. Changes in intervis, as well as other major issues, will continue to move at the same cautious pace. What we must do to change this situation is a rough task. We must educate our parents as to how we feel and somehow bring to their attention what intervisitation is and how it affects us. Then we must instill in them the fact that a change does need to be made. Now comes the tough part: they must express these concerns to other parents and the administra-tion. Only then will a change oc-cur. Look at the bright side. A ma-jority of students feel pro-intervis, so our job is half done. We now have to get a majority of parents to be pro-intervis. When this is accomplished, increased inter-visitation is just around the cor-ner. 2. Dave Rothschlller, Religion co-commissioner, returned $913.76 in unused first semester funds, and requested a $416.79 mdlocfltlon for this semester. The returned money was planned for such things as a speaker, a mini-retreat, Tabernacle sound, and music, but these plans proved unnecessary or unfeasible. The reallocation will be used for the clown ministry commis-sion wafers, and various publications. Hahn moved to accept the reallocation request, Ellcnson seconded, and the motion passed 10-0. 3. The manager of the Record Co-op, Dave Hansen, presented a budget to tailing $590 for wages and salaries, new records, and advertising for second semester. Hansen said that 18 percent more people used the Record Co-op last semester thus in previous years, averaging about 20 people per day. He expects this semester's income to be around $100. Ellcnson urged that more advertising be used to inform students about the Record Co-op and boost business, Secora moved to allocate the $590, Heskin Skiathon seeks to raise $100,000 The Red River Loppet, a 16-kilometer ski race and skiathon sponsored in part by Concordia College, Moorhead, Minn., will begin at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 14 in Fargo. Pledges received from the . skiathon will go to the Vinland National Center, a health-sport facility for the disabled, located on Lake Independence west of Minneapolis. A goal of raising $100,000 has been set by the co-sponsors of the event, Concordia's chapter of the Sons of Norway, Kringen Lodge of Fargo and members from Concordia's Greenland ski expedition. Skiers of all levels are encourage to participate in the skiathon, if not in the race. Pre-skiathon clinics to teach the basic techiques of the sport will be held at 1:30 p.m. each Saturday through Feb.

Sccora began a discussion and presented a resolution on the college tenure policy. The present policy states thaltio new faculty member may gain tenure if over two-thirds of his/her academic department already possess tenure. This is the case in virtually every department at Concordia. The pro-blem arises because the American Associates of University Professors requires faculty to become tenured after 7 years. Concordia's policy may not allow this, so the teacher must be let go. Concordia stands to lose many excellent teachers in the next few years if this policy continues. Accordingly, the non-tenured faculty have made a proposal to present to the Professional Policies com-mittee. It requested that tenure be abolished for presently non-tenured and new faculty, that all references to the'AAUP be excluded from the faculty handbook, and that, in the future, the college grant exclusively repcatable-term contracts for 3 or 5 years. These" measures, they argue, will increase morale among faculty, help the college at-tract and retain outstanding faculty members, provide more flexibility in ad-ministration, and help in dealing with less-effective teachers. The resolution presented by Secora to the Senate expressed student concern over the problem and voiced sup-port for the proposal of the non-tenured faculty. Lehman moved to adopt the resolu-tion, Natterstad seconding, and the motion passed 10-0. 5, Chip Hansen of Skids Warehouse presented a budget of $272.24 for second semester expenses. The major cost is $210 for brochures advertising the programs sponsored by Skills Warehouse. Secora ob-jected to the $13 requested for refreshments at one of the activities, noting the general Senate policy of not paying for refreshments; it was mentioned that this policy had been violated before. Cease mov-ed to accept the budget, Hahn seconding, and the motion passed 8-2. (Secora, Lehman opposed). 6. The meeting adjourned at 4:05. Next week's meeting will be at the regular time.
