CAMPUS NEWS 3 Music That Knows No Boundaries The Augsburg Choir embarked on its European Peace tour on May 22 with a full schedule: seven European countries, 13 cities and nine perform- ances within 21 days. The tour began in West Germany, and then went to East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Austria and Switzerland. This is the first Augsburg Choir to perform in Eastern Europe. According to Mary Ella Pratte, per- forming arts coordinator, plans for the tour began in 1988, well before the recent political upheavals. “It’s just been miraculous that all this (the changes in Eastern Europe) has transpired since we decided to go there. In addition to being educa- tional, it will be quite an experience on the human level, to meet and speak with these people and to be able to perform more openly in churches where people are increasingly free to worship as they choose," she said. One of the highlights of the program will be the performance of "Peace" by Minnesota composer Stephen Paulus. "Peace" was commissioned by Clair and Gladys Strommen for the Peace Prize Forum held at Augsburg in Feb- ruary of this year. “We’re making a connection between hosting the Peace Prize Forum and its emphasis on Eastern Europe. We feel we’re making a return visit to that area, continuing the spirit of the Peace Prize Forum and reaching out in their direction,” Pratte said. In addition to the concerts, choir members will visit historical sites and cultural centers, experience a homestay with Polish families, and use their free time to explore the world outside of Augsburg College.

C] Vocatio Endowment at Augsburg College Upon the closure ofits congregation in 1990, The Lutheran Church ofthe Holy Spirit in Oakdale, Minn., will designate a portion ofits assets for the Vocatio program at Augsburg. Vocatio challenges and assists the campus community to view occupa» tional choices as opportunities to make faith active in love. In a supportive environment, students and faculty explore the concept of vocation as a “calling” fiom God and discover its implication for daily life and work. Vocatio began as a three year project in 1987, funded by the Walther League. Earnings li'om the Vocatio Endow- ment will continue the program, which includes monthly chapel speakers from various occupations, and small group meetings and retreats. Among the speakers for next year are Curt Carlson, Rose Totino and Elmer L. Anderson. In creating this permanent endow- ment, the congregation of The ‘ Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit hopes to provide a living legacy in ministry to Augsburg students.

Show moreAugsburg Grauate Carol Ross Chases Dreams on Track Carol Ross and the stopwatch have resumed their annual battle, just when you thought the stopwatch would win by default. For Ross, who graduated in 1989 as one ofthe most accomplished athletes in Augsburg history, the diploma wasn‘t a dead end for her desire to excel in track and field. So when the Augsburg Traine NCAA Division III challenges expired with her college eligibility, Ross jumped into a “grad school-type" training program with a track club at the University ofMinnesota. The MBA at the end ofher rainbow could stand for Mighty Big Aspiration —-— Ross hopes to sprint and hurdle her way into Olympic games contention in I] a 15-year association with Augsburg College sports, Doug Nelson handled a myriad oftasks like a pro. So it‘s fitting that he’s landed in the real major-league arena. The Minnesota Twins have elevated Nelson to a full-time appointment as assistant athletic trainer, after three years as part-time in that capacity. The added duties will include traveling with the Twins during their 162-game schedule. Nelson, a fixture as Augsburg’s head trainer and equipment manager the last decade, said he leaves Augsburg with many memories and friendships. The 1976 Augsburg graduate had the opportunity to work with College coaching legends early in his career, Sports Report by Gene McGivcrn, Director Augsburg Sports Information the coming years. Her specialty is the 400»meter hurdles, a one-lap race over barriers that blends speed, endurance and technique. “I remember being in 10th grade and being interviewed for the school paper about track and saying I wanted to go to the Olympic Games some day,” Ross said. “Then later I realized that wasn’t very realistic. But now I don’t think it‘s so unrealistic. It’s exciting. I‘m starting to believe more in myself. I think I‘m just at the tip of the iceberg. There’s so much more I can do.” Ross won a big battle with the stop- watch in April that‘s fueled her confi- dence. At a 400-meter hurdles race in Des Moines, Iowa, she lowered her personal best from 58.99 — her record- setting clocking at last year‘s Div. III nationals — to 58.15. That time quali- fied her for the U.S. Track and Field Championships in Los Angeles June 14-16, a meet which will determine qualifiers for the 1990 Olympic Festival set for Minneapolis in July. Ross is a modest woman with a rather modest athletic background. Not many of our country‘s prominent amateur track athletes competed below the Division I or Division II level. And almost none competed at a school without an on-campus indoor or outdoor track. But in winning five national championships in the 400 hurdles and 400 dash in Division III — the most ever by an Augsburg athlete — Ross showed she has the talcnt and determination to justify the energy and sacrifices of training as an amateur. Ross works an average of three hours every day under the direction of University Minnesota assistant coach Kirk Elias, combining rigorous sprint and hurdle work with weight training 1" Nelson Gets . Full-tzme Post Wztla and he went on to lead the growth of the athletic training program for students. “Augsburg was always a big family—type place," Nelson said. “I started working with guys like Ernie Anderson, Edor Nelson and Erv Inniger, who was the one responsible for getting me started. In my senior year, he asked me to be a trainer for his team." Nelson has been a tireless, behind-the- scenes worker for Auggic athletics ever since. Besides his training and equip- ment duties, he has at times contrib- uted as a teacher, an interim athletic director, a statistician for several sports and as an assistant baseball coach. He received a master’s degree in athletic administration from the College of St. Thomas in 1979, and later becamc a and other conditioning drills. And since most meets are held out of town, there are a lot of weekend hours on the road. Ross also coaches girls’ track and cross country at her alma mater, St. Paul Johnson High. On top of that, she works nightly in a fiill-timc job at a suburban health club. With that kind of schedule, not only does Ross fight the stopwatch, she’s often in a duel with her wristwatch. “There are a lot of personal sacrifices you make,” Ross said. “It would be nice to be saving money to buy a house, establishing my job and career and looking to my future. But this is a once-inalifctimc opportunity. In 10 years I can have my house and new car and a real job.” Augsburg track coach Paul Graucr, who helped develop Ross into a 13- timc MIAC Conference champion, said Ross has the mental and physical abilities to go far. “I’m very pleased she’s taking this rare opportunity to see how far her talent will take her," Graucr said. Ross was invited to compete with an international field in a 400-mctcr dash race at the recent Drake Relays in Des Moines. She will attend a meet in Utah and later the Bruce Jenner Classic in San Francisco before the U.S. Nation- als. Ross said if she can stay healthy and continue to progress, she envisions competing for the ncxt six years. “In talking with my coach, 1992 lools real iffy to make my best run at reaching the Olympics, but 1996 looks more realistic.” Since virtually all her training cxpcnscs come out of her pocket, Ross can use any support she can get. Anyonc wishing to donate to defray Ross‘s travel costs for flights to upcoming meets can contact Jeroy Carlson at 612/330-1175. D Twins certified member of the National Athletic Trainers Association. “There are a lot of great mcmcorics,” Nelson said. “We’ve seen a lot of growth in student trainers, and it‘s real rewarding to see the quality of kids from Augsburg now out in the field. Another good memory is my associa‘ tion with the hockey teams. Winning the national titles in hockey was a lot of fun.” Nelson’s promotion with the Twins was actually overdue. After last season, Minnesota, Seattle and Boston wcrc the lone major-league teams without a full-time assistant trainer. Nelson said the Major League Baseball Players Association made full-time status for ‘ assistant trainers one of its request: in (com. on page 19) 4.1;- . Show less

Not only did Auggie athletes re-write school records and make their mark in the MIAC and in the classroom, but several athletes and teams gained national recognition. Among the 1989-'90 Augsburg sports highlights: V Coach Iefi“ Swenson’s wrestling team completed another excellent season with a second-place national finish at the NCAA Div. III champi- onships. Led by national champ Iohn Beatty (142 pounds) and All-Ameri— cans Mitch Hegland (l 18), Joe Hoialmen (126), Kevin Schiltz (190) and Chester Graubergcr (heavy~ weight), Augsburg was runner-up to the host school, favored Ithaca College. The Auggie wrestlers earlier had won the MIAC team title for the fourth straight time and 14th time in 16 seasons by achieving a record 10 finalists in the 10 weight classes. V Augsburg’s men’s basketball, with no seniors in the program, won four of their final five games to close 10- 15. With four neweomers in the starting lineup much of the year, the Augg'ies tried to compensate for a height disadvantage by sinking a national-best average for three-point baskets. the off-season negotiations with the owners, and it was part ofthe agree- ment signed after the lockout. Nelson joined the Twins in 1987 and became part of the World Champion- ship mania — he can be seen in the Wheaties‘ box portrait ofthe mob of Twins celebrating after the Game 7 victory. “I feel kind oflucky to be associated with that championship in my first year. Our head trainer, Dick Martin, had been there since 1972 and he hadn‘t been a part ofa champion» ship until then.“ Nelson said the Twins' position, while a great opportunity professionally, “ill pron'de a different atmosphere than he knew at Augsburg “\Vhen you‘re at a small college in athletics, you get your rewards working with kids and seeing them improve. But pro baseball is still a business, and that makes it kind of tough at times. A player may be there one day and gone the next." C National Champ John Beam Augsburg sank 266 threes (10.6 per game) to lead all NCAA divisions, outshooting established schools like Kentucky (10.0 average) and Loyola Marymount (8.6). Freshman Scott Syring sank 75 and junior Tac Coplin added 52 as the Auggies had the top four three-point scorers in the confer ence. Freshman Dave Carlson recorded three straight 30-point scoring outings and was selected All-MIAC. V Augsburg endured an injury-plagued football season to post two road victories and gain 1,661 rushing yards, the school‘s most since 1981. Coach Bill Hunstock had six players nomi- nated for Academic AlliMIAC, the most of any MIAC football team. Sean McCoy and Neal Malmberg were tabbed All-MIAC, Terry Mackenthun and Bill Koschak were chosen All- Academic and Pat Ebnet was both MIAC and Regional Player of the Week. V Senior Mary Hall earned her fourth All-MIAC honor for soccer. She scored nine ofAugsburg’s 13 goals this season and closed as the all-time leading scorer in school history with 25 goals and 17 assists. Senior Kelli McGuire joined Hall as All-Conference. V Senior Dave Cox recorded a rare double, being chosen All-MIAC in hockey and All»Academic for his 3.40 GPA. Teammates Iim Douglas and Dave Hackley also received MIAC All- Academics V The Augsburg softball team contin- ued its streak oftop-four MIAC finishes with a 12-8 conference record. including wins in nine of 10 games late in the season. juniors Andrea Haight and Sonja Slack were selected All; MIAC. Slack made a rare transition to the diamond after two seasons in tennis. She tied thrcc school records in her initial game and went on to bat near .400. V The Auggie women‘s basketball, tennis and softball teams had excellent academic records. Four ofthe Auggies‘ 10 basketball players were nominated for MIAC All-Academic, with Haight and Geri Newman selected. A majority ofthe tennis athletes have GPAs over 3.00, led by Academic All»America nominee Heather Laatsch. Haight and Tricia Noha were Academic All- America nominees for softball, where halfof the I4»player roster had GPAs over 300. Baseball player Cory Pederr son also was nominated for Academic All-America. V Eight alumni were added to the Augsburg College Athletic Hall of Fame. This year marked the first year women athletes were recognized, with three selected as charter members. New inductees are Harold “Red” Hanson, Larry Iunkermeier, Wes Bodin, Bruce Gibson, Ron Stave, Cordelia “Dee Dee“ Coltvet Hoi’tinann, Lavonne Iohnson Peterson and Mary Jane VVanous. V Two Augsburg coaches continued on toward impressive milestones. Now in his fifth decade as Auggie hockey coach, Ed Saugestad climbed to a 446- 294-15 record in 32 seasons. And on the baseball diamond, Ron Pctrich inched closer to 200 victories in his ll Augsburg seasons with a 12-18 finish that moved him to 198—152-3, with losing marks in just two ofthe l 1 campaigns. V The 1989»'90 year marked the head coaching debuts of Rob LaFleur in men’s soccer and Ion Staton in men‘s SPORTS 7 tennis. On the flip side, this year was Doug Nelson‘s last at Augsburg after 13 years ofservice in many areas. Nelson was elevated to a fullrtimc assistant trainer with the Minnesota Twins. V Augsburg football player Dave Stevens‘ inspirational story caught the attention of national media. Stevens was born without legs but has played three seasons with the Auggies. A thrccrminutc profile on Stc\cns was aired in January by the (‘85 Morning News, and in early May, Stevens was flown to the Dallas Cowboys rookie camp as a guest ofthc NH. team.
