Approximately 25 skiers par-ticipated in the Ski Across Min-nesota tour, which was a prelude to the 1982 Minnesota Lapland Expedition to be undertaken by a group of eight skiers, most of whom are Concordia graduates. That trip, scheduled from March 1 to April 30, will take the expedi-tion across 600 miles of four coun-tries: Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway. They will be the first Americans to cross the breadth of Lapland. The Minnesota ski trip is the se-cond uninterrupted trip across the state. The first was taken in 1979 as a prelude to the 1980 Minnesota Expedition Across Greenland. Chairing the Minnesota trip were Concordia students Marion Bateman, a junior communica-tions major; and Lawrence Tjeltveit, a junior elementary education major. The Minnesota ski trip and the 1982 Minnesota Lapland Expedi-tion are under the direction of Paul Erickson, director of student activities, who led the successful 1980 Minnesota Expedition Across Greenland. • *• • The results of the last blood drive on campus were as follows: Pre-Registered donors: AH-KE77 donors APO56 donors ChiZcte/ChiDelt46 donors AES/LDS27 donors AKX/Mondominl3 donors Delta Rho7 donors GDI4 donors 68 Non designated donors Cobbers claim share of title The tenacious Cobber defense stopped the resurgent Austin Col-lege offense seemingly out of field goal range, with little more than a minute remaining, and it appeared Concordia would claim its second NA1A Division II title in four years with a 24 — 21 victory over the Kangaroos. But on fourth and long, with one minute and twelve seconds re-maining, the Kangaroos' A1I-American kicker Gene Branum booted the ball 57 yards to hit the crossbar and bounce over, tieing the game at 24 — 24. Concordia was unable to score in the remain-ing 72 seconds and thus was forc-ed to share the title with Austin College. The lead changed hands three times in the seesaw battle; Austin's pass-oriented offense contrasting sharply with Concordia's running ball-control game. Austin scored on its first possi-sion when tailback VanHargis scampered 14 yards into the end zone on a pitchout to cap an eight play, 54-yard drive. Concordia tallied its first points in the second quarter after free safety Dave Borchard intercepted an errant Kangaroo pass. The in-terception set up a 29-yard field goal by Doug Berglund. The Cobbers took a 10-7 lead shortly after Rich Lorenz in-tercepted a pass thrown by Austin quarterback Larry Shillings. Just two plays after the interception, Cobber "cjuarterback Craig Samuelson fired a 34-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Joe Gotta. The Kangaroos hopped back in-to the lead after a seven play, 77-yard drive was completed with a 31-yard pass from Shillings to speedster Rory Dukes.

Job Shop 'progresses' in aiding students by Greg Ulland Concordia's Job Shop has made "good" progress in finding jobs for students since it began operating in October. According to Kris Nellermoe, an assistant of Job Shop, approx-imately 80 students have been referred to jobs by the service. Nearly 150 students have applied for work at one time or another. Nellermoe commented that students would have a better chance at job placement if they would follow-up on their applica-tions. She added, "Students will come in and apply, but then never show up again to see if there are new jobs available. It's good to stop by just so we can correlate names with faces." One recurring problem is that jobs become available and need to be filled rapidly. The Job Shop has found that students usually aren't ready to commit themselves . as the jobs come up. Another problem-has been fin-ding transportation to the jobs. . Nellermoe said that there are several options, including car pools, walking or taking the bus. She pointed out that even if students would have to pay for Halls repaired in Erickson Following a semester of extreme wear and tear, repairs to damaged hallways in Erickson Hall were completed during the holiday break, according to Jim Meier, Director of Residential Life. Major paint jobs were required for three of seven hallways in the men's dormitory, said Meier. Other touch-up jobs were per-formed on the remaining floors. Abuse had resulted in burn marks, stains, paint chips and graffiti. With most of the repairs now completed, Meier hopes residents will take better care of the dor-mitory in the remainder of the year. "We hope to start out on the right foot this semester," he said. Repairs in Erickson came just two months after the final stage of a $25,000 remodeling project had been completed in the hall. Most of the project had been finished before the beginning of classes in September. bus fare, they still would be mak-ing money. A more serious porblem that could occur in the next few mon-ths would be that job oppor-tunities at local businesses will be decreasing. This, according to Nellermoe, can be attributed to the slow down of business that usually occurs following Christmas. This concern seemed to hold true with the comments of local business people. Mark Rosen-burg, Food and Beverage Manager at the Ramada Inn, stated that there is a definite cool down of business following the holiday season. Rosenburg felt that Job Shop was, a helpful source of employees. "I think the Job Shop is an excellent program. It provides a labor pool for businesses in the community to choose from and is helpful when we need someone.** The Job Shop has recently sent out letters ot businesses, soliciting jobs and intend to do so again in February. Nellermoe said businesses are calling to check the program out more extensively. "We hope that when semesters break up for state schools, there will be an influx of new job open-ings," she added. Commenting on finding work, Nellermoe said that personal motivation is needed to find a job. "If kids need a job bad enough they should be willing to do anything. They can't be choosy or worry what friends will think of the kind of work they're doing. If they want money, they shouldn't mind doing waitressing, shoveling or babysitting. This isn't going to be a life-long job." 'Fee paying days begin Tuesday Fee paying days in the Business Office arc scheduled for Tuesday through Thursday of the coming week. In order to avoid a penalty of 10 dollars, plus one dollar per day, for being late, students must sign their fee statement on their assigned day. Students whose last names begin with letters A through H are scheduled to sign their statements on Tuesday; I through Q on Wednesday, and P through Z on Thursday.
