There's a Salvation Army Thrift store and a furniture man for new and used goods witli'obscene graﬁtti on the front door. Garbage is commonplace on the sidewalk. it’s not a place to take a Sunday morning stroll. yet some people do - on their way to church. Within this predominantly Indian and Black cell of the metropolitan area. stands a building so opposite in ethnic origin from the neighborhood that it is almost hidden in uniquenas. There stands Mindekirken. the Norwegian Lutheran Memorial Church. Just as the [BS Tower represents the money and culture in Minneapolis. Mindekirken represents the city's Scandinavian heritage. This church is dedicated to the service of people with Norwegian background. The wyear history of Mindekirken began with the onset of World War 1. Franklin Avenue. as well as the city of Minneapolis. was richly Scandinavian. But. during this time period patriotism was intense and it became unpopular to be anything besides 100 percent American. Foreigners were often regarded with suspicion. as were those who spoke or wrote in a foreign language. So. by the 19205. most Lutheran Norwegian congregations in the Twin Cities were holding church services exclusively in English. Yet. many Norwegians believed that at least one congregation should continue services in the native tongue. in 1922. Mindekirken was founded with the original title of Den Norske Lullierske Menighet Minneapo- lis, Minn.. later changed to Den Notske Lutherske Minderkirken. which remains engraved above the church entrance. Many men have served as pastors for the Norwegian Memorial Lutheran Church. Four ministers were outstanding. Christian Munson preached at Mindekirken from 1926 to 1933. Under Munson‘s leadership. the congregation grew and plans were made for a building. in 1926. the basement of the church was finished and services were held there for three years. By 1929. the entire building was completed at a cost of $185,000. Munson left the congregation in the heart of the Depression. it was a difficult time for any church. and Mindekirken was no exception. Disagreement was dividing the membership and indebtedness of $145,000 made the future of the congre- gation uncertain. Pastor Elias Rasmussen accepted the call to Mindekirken and began his 25-year ministry in 1933. Rasmussen pulled the church out of debt. traveling thousands of miles and visiting hundreds of Norwegians to accomplish the task. Once he even went to Chicago to hold off the creditors from whom the chimes had been purchased. Rasmussen retired in 1955. In 1973. history was made when Mindekirken received its first American born minister. Harry Cleven, a 1962 Augsburg College graduate. Since the church was founded in 1922. all services were held exclusively in the Norwegian language. Cleven began the first services spoken in English, There are currently two services each Sunday. English at 9:15 am. and Norwegian at 11:00 a.m. Cleven left the church in 1981 to preach English services in Norway. Knut lngebriglson from Molde. Norway is now pastor. lngcbrigtson left a congregation of 10.00010 preach to 50in Minneapolis. There are only two churches dedicated to Norwegian immigrant heritage in the world. One is Mindekirken; the other is a Church in Chicago. Both churches have approximately 200 baptized members Mindekirken is affiliated with The American Lutheran Church iALCl and also uses the vestments. ritual. and hymnal of the Church of Norway. The congregation is basically white. retired. and middle class. Most of the people live in the suburbs and u-avel into the city each Sunday morning for church it is difﬁcult to comprehend that a church with such a small congregation can surnve ﬁnancially in today‘s inflation- burdened society Loyalty seems to be the key factor. "l‘ve been a member of Mindekirken Since it started way back when. l guess,” said Serrine Kleve. Minneapolis “We just love the church. that‘s all It‘s our home. and you don't give up on your home " Mindekirken is family. and anyone who walks in the front door is welcomed with a smile and a tour downstairs to see the photos that trace the church history, Just before entering the sanctuary. as a spam] treat. a gentleman will even produce the page where King Olaf \’ of Norway signed the guest book on his visit to Mindekirken. An influx of visitors continually assists the church in financial and gift support People come from miles to see the Norwegian heritage that rests Wllhln the walls of Mindekirken. When the church began. it was a memorial to honor Norwegian immigrants in America. The founders expected the Norwegian language to die and Mindekirken would remain as a museum. Today. the Norwegian services continue in the beautiful decor. The color scheme in the sanctuary is typical of Scandinavian medieval churches with plush reds and dark wood trim. A mural of the angel at Christ's tomb on Easter morning rises above the handcrafted wood altar built by an American Minneapolis man. Leif Melgard. The painting “Han er opstanden" of “He is risen" is similar to a painting by Axel Ender in Molde Kirken. Norway. The altar silver donated by David Andersen. Oslo. Norway. adds purity to the scene. Handtooled leather chairs embrace each end of the altar and were made by woodcarver and artist Pastor Alv Kapstad. Arendal. Norway. Away lrom the altar hangs a copy oi a Marcus Gronvold painting from the altar of St. John‘s Church in Norway. Christ is standing alone in the picture with his hands folded in prayer. a single beam of light shining over him. The motif of the artwork is Mark 1:85: "And in the morning. a great while before day. he arose and went out to a lonely place. and there he prayed. “ The painting originally was given to Trinity Lutheran Church. Minneapolis. when that church was razed for the construction of a highway. the painting was crated and put in storage at Augsburg College. Since August 1977. the painting has been on loan to Mindekirken from the Trinity Lutheran congregation.

One. associated with a British theologian named Pelagius. emphasized human capacity in doing what God required. thus pleasing God and becoming acceptable A second position. a compromise between two extremes. envisioned a cooperative effort in which God did his part and a human did his or hers. Like Pelagius' stance. this one was optimistic about human nature and its capacities. God has a role in establishing relationship. but it is a cooperative role in contrast to both of these positions. the great theologian of North Africa. Augustine. argued that the effect of sin upon humans was so disastrous and complete that to assent that a person could initiate or contribute to the establishment of relationship with God was nonsensical. it is God who acts on our behalf.

The Confession continues: “It is God who justifies li,e_ brings into relationshipi.” He does this “freely.” by grace without merit or worthiness in me only by his gracious love He does it “because oI Christ." is. because of the gracious saving work of Jesus. who fulfilled the law on my behalf. and died for my new life.

Students are Doug Ruth, Mark Hendrickson and Tim Asgrimson. (Photo by Kay Cadyi Students invest in business futures It's a sign of the times that more Augsburg students than ever before are preparing to pursue careers in business. Just 10 years ago there were only 128 students at Augsburg seeking degrees in business administration. This number of business students has swelled to nearly 400 as of the spring term 1982, approximately 25 percent of the total college enrollment. Today’s business student can choose to concentrate on accounting. finance. management. marketing. or international business. This expansion has caused some growing pains. To respond to departmental growth. business students have formed the organization "The Society for the Advancement of Business Students" lSABi SAB executive board members are Doug Ruth. president from Burnsville MN; Nora Anderson. vice president from in June.

SAB membership consists of marketing. management. finance. accounting and international business students. “By working closely with the administration and faculty at Augsburg. we can assist in the personal advancement of business students. We will promote professionalism and broaden students' practical knowledge in business." said Ruth. SAB president. Alumni can provide insights into implementing SAB objectives. “In order to achieve our objectives we will need tremendous support from Augsburg alumni who work in various fields of business." said Ruth. Connections are being developed between the Alumni Business Club lABCi. an organization initiated by alumni this past year. The ABC contact list‘is being used as well as business students attending ABC business luncheons. in May. students joined alumni at a luncheon with Don Byerly. founder and president of Byerly‘s Inc. Byerly is known for his trendsetting and innovative marketing in the food retailing industry. SAB objectives are to bring marketing. management. accounting and finance professionals to campus to discuss their jobs and job opportunities: to work closely with the business community to establish an extensive business-related internship program for students: and to work with the Small Business Administration or local corporations to develop a business project that will benefit both students and the community. Members will concentrate initially on the internship program objective this fall. “Alumni can give valuable assistance in establishing internships within their own or other corporations." said Ruth. “The Augsburg business student is primarily interested in a quality internship and will give 100 percent to a corporation that offers practical on-the-job experience." SAB plans to encourage awareness within the business community of the quality and services of the Augsburg Business Department. “We are confident that an increasing number of Twin Cities corporations will want to interview a larger percentage of Augsburg business students. Alumni are asked to share enthusiasm and support this endeavor. Contact Doug or Ruth at Augsburg College. 731 215i Avenue South. Minneapolis. MN 55454.

Accessibility comes by working together on architectural changes. programs and attitudes Physical accessibility to campus buildings and classrooms is provided with a network of skyways. tunnels. enclosed surface corridors and elevators. Through a student-run service called Cooperative Services for Handicapped Students (CSHS), volunteers assist students with achieving their goals at Augsburg CoHege Augsburg College has had a stated goal since the mid»l9705 to respond to the needs of disabled students that have chosen to make Augsburg their academic home Accessibility projects have been funded by gifts and pledges from private and corporate sources and by the congregations of the Southeastern Minnesota District of The American Lutheran Church.

It's the mission of the college to contribute to the metropolitan community An accessible campus is a special way that Augsburg serves respons‘ibly within the community. We recognize that students come to the Twin Cities area for health and support services. The college‘s urban location and educational commitment provide a natural compliment to this need." said John Hjelmeland. director of admissions.

Did I have different perspectives as I went along? And, indeed I did. As a young person, a kid growing up in Minneapolis, I had questions about myself. I wanted very badly to be one of the group, to be like everybody else. I think that‘s a common growing up kind of thing. I didn‘t want to be different just because I happened to be blind. That was a terrible thing at that point. I lacked a lot of self confidence. ldidn't start to cope with my own limitations until I started to get some positive feedback. The first time that happened was through my music. Thanks to my mother and a lot of diligence in the mornings—I practiced and practiced and practiced. One day I started to get a little feedback like, “That was a pretty good clarinet solo." It meant, “Hey Dick, you‘re O.K., despite whatever your limitations might be." It didn't quite do it because I was hung up with the idea that there‘s a stereotype that all blind people happen to be musical. Well, it ain‘t true folks. However. I happened to be musical but I didn't want to be stereotyped as a piano player or a clarinet player. I thought I had more to do in life. I wanted to try.

I used to have a lot more sight. Hopefully. I've always had vision. Anyway, I didn‘t use a cane to walk with. I just walked down the street without any aid. One day I was walking around the University of Minnesota campus and I bumped my head on a sign post. And I said, “Wait a minute. This has got to stop. I have to start using a cane to protect myself and to let other people work with me better." My vanity had stopped me from facing the handicap I had in my head. I finally got to the point where my perspective started to change from one of being different to just being one of the people fighting through life. While all of this. . . By the way, I usually offer copies of my notes to my audiences. I don't get takers very often but if you would like copies they are here. It reminds me of the time I was giving an after dinner speech to an organization and for dessert we had an ice cream parfait. So I‘m eating the parfait with my spoon and I’m holding the glass with my left hand and I got up to speak and wouldn’t you know—my fingers were frozen. I couldn't read my notes. I started to think about the question, “Who is really handicapped anyway?" I tried to reﬂect on that and it came down to several questions, just for myself. For example: Is a person who uses a wheelchair and who is employed successfully and who is involved in life handicapped? Or, does the person who is ablebodied and sits around all day watching television and doesn‘t really care about life handicapped? Or. is a person handicapped if, for example. you are Perlman walking slowly with the aid of crutches out onto the stage at Lincoln'i’nter to play your violin? Is that a handicapped person or is it those of us who maybe don‘t fully appreciate the beautiful music that Mr. Perlman provides? Is a handicapped person someone who happens to be dcaf but is enjoying life and doing productive things or is it a person like me standing here who has to depend on Sandra to communicate with a deaf person? Qualities of people are very important to me: qualities like common sense, qualities like spontaneity or a sense of humor, (Mine is a little warped, ifyou‘ve noticed.) qualities like enthusiasm. but also realism about what you are facing. and qualities like ability and desire to work as a team with other people. Resilience, giving of oneself and perseverance are important 7 without being so bullheaded you don‘t get anything done. Loyalty to your family and to your friends and to yourself in the end are important. The human traits of creativity and imagination are about the most exciting. Lan Thi Phnm.

Show moreAugsburg's seven-member Department of Nursing Staff includes Helen \t‘oelfel. assistant professor; Sharon {\t. Tihesar. secretary; Beverly S. Nilsson. chairperson and associate professor: and Nancy S. Malcolm. assistant professor. Olin-r faculty include (‘arol Hoffman. Sue Knust and Jot-Etta Vernon. Program a second step for registered nurses (Nursing. continued from page i) Nilsson considers health maintenance of great importance. In these days of high hospital cost as well as high health insurance cost, it is important to recognize the contribution of professional nursing. It can reduce health care cost. The professional nurse focuses on the patient as a member of a family and social group, a contrast to hospitals where the focus is on the sick patient. “We use the term client, rather than patient,” said Nilsson, indicating that clients participate in rather than are subject to treatment. “We believe clients are responsible for their health care, and we help them make appropriate decisions about their health care,” she said. This attitude is based on the importance of the consumer as well as the holistic view of health care, which is becoming increasingly more important in various kinds of treatment. Since the students admitted into the program are all registered nurses, they also are all transfer students. At Augsburg they have to complete 11 semester courses in nursing, a course in psychology and a course in mathematics or descriptive statistics. in addition to prerequisites for the major and general requirements. Courses in the major are designed to be completed in two academic years. The students also have three semesters of clinical experience according to Nilsson. “The fourth semester students have a modified clinical practice." she said. “The idea is that the students who graduate are qualified for beginning professional practice.“ said Nilsson. However. several paths are open to graduates. Many have extensive prior nursing experience and return to hospital nursing staffs. Others become public health nurses or inservice educators in hospitals. Some change focus and may. for example. become psychiatric nurses. A number of former students are in graduate school. studying specialities of nursing. according to \l'oelfel. “Former students have also gone to law school. seminary. and the Hubert Humphrey Institute for Public Affairs. and one is in a d0ctoral program." said Nilsson. Nilsson also said that earlier graduates have successfully entered graduate schools and the job market. The program‘s lack of accreditation has only affected them in certain cases “in these cases. the difference for students can sometimes be measured in dollars and cents." said Woelfel. in the armed services one cannot get a commission without having graduated from an accredited organization. and in some states only graduates of accredited baccalaureate programs are accepted into graduate programs. according to Woelfel. This ‘5 not true in Minnesota. July/August III Woelfel also said that students have to challenge out of or repeat a course in community health nursing at the university in order to be eligible for jobs in this field in Minnesota. Such efforts will no longer be necessary for current graduates. “The new dimensions of baccalaureate nursing education are hard to understand for many," said Nilsson. But people are becoming more and more aware of recent developments in the profession. Human beings tend to resist change, and even the famous Florence Nightingale had to fight traditional ideas and practice to accomplish valuable or necessary changes. With Augsburg in the front lines. we look toward a future with a wider view of the nursing profession. Appropriate for a liberal arts college. the union of liberal arts and professional study is reflected in the nursing department statement of philosophy: “Liberal education fosters the use of reflective and critical thinking. The Upper Division Nursing major provides a basis for scientific inquiry. research and professional behavior. Registered nurse students develop professionalism based on a sound theoretical foundation that encourages independence and self»direction in professional practice." Augsburg College Nou _ Computer minor opens avenues for Augsburg By Ray (‘ady Editor Computers have moved beyond the halls of math. science and business with recognized applications to any field of study. Students at a liberal arts college offering a computer science minor have the opportunity to combine computer knowledge with any of the college‘s degree programs ranging from art and business to physics. religion or even mUsic therapy. It is this combination of education in a liberal arts college that provides employers with prospective employees who are not only computer literate but also able to learn and apply their knowledge in a continual education process Computer literacy demands a continual education in the classroom and on the job with a shared responsibility for this education by employers and educational institutions. Beginning this fall at Augsburg College. a computer science minor has been added to the curriculum with a new faculty member. equipment and a program that reflects the college‘s liberal arts tradition. Students choosing a computer science minor or computer courses will graduate and enter the job market with a liberal arts degree and a computer knowledge that will help to realize a more computer literate society. Augsburg's commitment to a liberal arts education provides the avenue for students interested in computer science courses to go beyond "to be a programmer" to a course of study that presents computer science within the context of historical. theoretical and practical perspectives. Courses in the Augsburg curriculum present such historical perspectives as ethics and popularity as related to computer science. For example. “Why have computers become popular?" or “What are the ethics problems associated with the use of the computer?" The Augsburg computer minor presents a theoretical perspective of the computer with emphasis on procedures and capabilities of computer systems as well as specific implementation in assembly language and higher level languages. A practical perspective or the ability to choose the proper system and languages for a certain task is a growing understanding as students learn more about strengths and weaknesses of various computer configurations In the program at Augsburg. students will have an opportunity to expand a computer knowledge through application in other disciplines. "('omputer education will cross over the traditional lines. Our program will educate beyond the technical sense with equipment and knowledge being adapted to other disciplines." said Marie J. McNeff, associate professor in education. (Set-('olnputer. page [It (‘lmpus Net‘s—3

Show moreCﬂMPUS (NEWS Commencement ’8l : Friends and family congratulate class of l981 The Promise and Uncertainty of Tomorrow Commencement Address - 1981 Executive Director of the Minnesota State Council for the Handicapped Mr. Richard L. Ramberg This indeed is the International Year of Disabled Persons. International Years have come and gone before but we‘re hoping in the State of Minnesota to be part of this truly worldwide effort. Over 45 ‘ nations throughout the world are participating in the International Year of Disabled Persons as declared by the United Nations. The theme of the International Year is full participation for every disabled person in all aspects of our society. Now that’s a rather challenging theme. It comes at a very ironic time. a time when we've had many accomplishments and we also have many problems that have to be faced and resolved. As I was thinking about my title for this speech I thought of “Can We Truly Achieve Full Participation?“ That sounds pretty appropriate. pretty heavy. I also thought of “It Was The Best Of Times, It Was The Worst of Times." But I think that has been used somewhere before. I also thought of a famous speech Winston Churchill made to his alma mater. His entire speech was “Never Give Up. Never. Never, Never. Never". And he sat down. You aren‘t quite as blessed this afternoon. I decided on the title of “The Promise And Uncertainty of Tomorrow“ because this is exactly what we are facing in this International Year of Disabled Persons. We have achieved much in our society A when you think about the space program. reaching the moon and the space shuttle; when you think about the communications aspects of space flight, weather satellites and other communications advances; or when you think about what computers do for us today. Miniaturization ~ there's a sea of calculations so fast you don‘t even spend real time. We have achieved much in our society when you think about the kinds of things we can see through astronomy, the vast galaxies and the universe. Theories such as the big bang~where did this come from? It‘s just phenomenal. What was it or even who was it that caused the big bang in the first place? Despite all of these things. we have some serious problems today. We have high inflation, high interest rates and a lot of talk about the industrial base of our society and how it‘s facing troubles with productivity and with the quality of work, We have lost time: we have turnovers and all kinds of problems with our economic situations. We have energy problems that have never been faced in the past. Something today that is worrying people I t—(‘ampus News work with is a turn toward conservativism in saying we can’t do as much as a society as we used to be able to do. The sign of these things makes me ask, “What is the promise and uncertainty of tomorrow?" I look at the progress made in medical science — keeping people alive; people who never would have lived either through childhood or possibly through a traumatic disability. We‘ve also made a lot of progress in adapting ourselves to individual needs of people. I'm thinking about the type of adaptive aids that allow a person who happens to be a quadriplegic to live as independently as possible; about the visual aids that allow a blind person or someone with low vision to function more adequately: about other communication aids such as TTY typewriters used by people who are deaf; and about the growing number of sign language interpreters. We have an excellent educational system in Minnesota. Some people have referred to our actions of 10 years ago as the Minnesota Miracle with new educational opportunities and funding. We have outstanding rehabilitation services. We really have a great quality of life in this state. The most important thing that we have done in recent years is move to a state where we are no longer looking for able-bodied. sighted, hearing people to do things for people who have a disability. We now have people with disabilities doing things for themselves and in partnership with others. It is probably fair to say that twenty or thirty years ago a person like me may not have been standing on this stage today. I hope that’s progress. You can judge, Everyone has a different reality. For the graduating seniors here today. you‘ve been living through a reality of college for the last few years. I lived through that at one time. Lately, I have been living through the reality of the work world. We all have a different perspective. I was amused the other day when I heard Garrison Keillor on the radio talking about losing streaks in baseball games. He said a losing streak really has to come to an end at some point. So the longer the losing streak, the closer you are to the end. That‘s another way to look at it. a little more optimistic possibly. (See Ramberg Address. page 6) Graduating seniors. faculty. regents and honored guests have traditionally walked through Murphy Square from the College Center to Melby Hall for both baccalaureate service and commencement ceremonies.

Show moreFaculty development funded by Bush grant Augsburg College has received a three-year faculty development grant from the Bush Foundation providing $60,000 per year for special workshops. course development, faculty internships in industry or government with an overall emphasis on the improvement of teaching and advising. The grant is a result of a planning project, also funded by the Bush Foundation. in which Augsburg College completed a three-year plan for faculty development. The project formally began July 1 with preparation for the fall when a variety of programs will be available. Norma Noonan, professor of political science, has been named director of the program. She was the principal author of the plan developed during the past year. “Summer is a time for planning and organization preparatory to launching the program in the fall," said Noonan. The Bush Foundation has a strong interest in faculty development and has sponsored this program for faculty at colleges throughout the upper midwest who want to improve the quality of teaching programs and provide faculty with opportunities for professional development in work as teachers and scholars. An interim Committee on Faculty Development has been appointed to oversee the program including Noonan and representatives from academic divisions at the college: Marie McNeff. associate professor in education; Earl Alton, professor of science/chemistry; Grace Dyrud, professor of psychology; Mark Fuehrer. associate professor of philosophy; Pat Parker. associate dean; Richard Green, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the college; and Robert Clyde. internal evaluator. Norma (‘. Noonan Augsburg College Volume 45. Number 1 Julv/August 1981 Minneapolis. MN 55454 College, ACPAF to host Buckley October 2 in coniunction with Homecoming '81 William F. Buckley Jr. — author, editor, lecturer. — is coming to Augsburg College Friday, October 2 in conjunction with Homecoming ‘81. There also is the possibility that Buckley‘s weekly television show, “Firing Line." will be taped on campus. The series of one-day Buckley events is sponsored by ACPAF (Augsburg College Public Affairs Forum). ACPAF, organized in November 1980, is a group of Augsburg alumni who share an interest in sponsoring events on public affairs issues. This year ACPAF coordinated a Law Day Luncheon with Warren Spannaus; a lecture on church state relations by Professor Frank Sorauf ; an autograph party for Professor Carl Chrislock; and a student essay contest. Buckley will speak at a 7:30 pm. dinner at the Calhoun Beach Club. This ACPAF Dinner is preceded by a 6 p.m. reception at the Beach Club and a 6:30 pm. private reception. Entertainment will include Barb Brooks, a 1977 graduate of Augsburg and pianist with the Minnesota Dance theatre, and a String Quartet from Augsburg College. Firing Line is tentatively set to be taped on campus Friday afternoon followed by the possibility of a presentation for Augsburg students in a press conference format. Buckley began hosting the weekly show “Firing Line” in 1966. Guests have ranged from such persons as Muhammed Ali. Truman Capote and Jimmy Carter to Otto Preminger, Ronald Reagan and George Wallace. By 1970 “Firing Line" had Nursing program achieves accreditation By Anne (i. Billingstad Now Staffwritcr The Florence Nightingales of our society are changing. The white cap has disappeared. and the subservient role of nurses is on its way out. Instead, the independence of thought and action which characterized the merits of the unorthodox 19th century English nurse are re-entering the profession. Baccalaureate programs in nursing are revolutionizing the role of nurses in society, and Augsburg is participating in the new development. “The professional nurse functions in a collegial relationship with the doctor rather than as a junior member or handmaid," said Bev Nilsson. associate professor and department chairperson of nursing. Augsburg‘s nursing program. exclusively for registered nurses, is one of two in the state, now both accredited. The other program is at Moorhead State University. “It is designed to provide upper division courses in nursing to registered nurses after they have completed a two or three year program.” said Nilsson. Helen Woelfel. assistant professor of nursing. added that it is a new trend in nursing to only accept registered nurses. Except for Moorhead. all other baccalaureate nursing programs in Minnesota are geared toward accepting students from the beginning of their nursing education, although they also accept registered nurses. Now in its fifth year, the Augsburg nursing program has been accredited. Accreditation was first sought in 1978. but was denied. “Accreditation means validation by our peers." said Nilsson. "It means that we have met at least the minimum requirements for a quality program for nursing education as established by the profession." The nursing department has put forward a very concerted effort in order to get accredited. The report describing the program and its administration. faculty. students. curriculum and facilities. required much hard work, according to Nilsson. To verify and clarify the report sent in, the League of Nursing selected two people for an on-site evaluation. They spent four days on campus in February talking to administrators, students and nursing faculty. They also talked to nursing representatives from hospitals in the area that provide clinical experience, visited the clinical agencies and sat in on classes, “Accreditation is a standard people look at when selecting a program." said Nilsson. “()ne benefit may therefore be attracting the interest of more students." Nilsson emphasized that the approach to nursing as a profession breaks with tradition, Many registered nursing students have much experience and good educational background. but their learning experience has been in hospitals. "These are ‘acutc settings based on the medical model where the doctor is the head. and the goal is to attend to sick people." said Nilsson. "The emphasm of our program is wellness. to help people to stay well “ According to the nursing model. the nurse will provide professional care and practice autonomously. “Nursing and medicine are different disciplines." said Nilsson “We like to consider ourselves as part of the health care team. and as a full member.“ (Sec Nursing. page :1! grown from 26 broadcast outlets to 120 outlcts across the country.

Anderson A man of wide-gauged energies By Jim Klobuchar Mtnnea polls Star Columnist Consider two tantalizing questions placed before the board members of a small but substantial liberal arts in- stitution. Their task: to select a new college president. Question I. Can the college find happiness and fulfillment under a president who is one of the world's dis- tinguished Reformation scholars. an author. ecumenical expert. Phi Beta Kappa graduate. preacher. seminary professor. college dean and adminis- trator. and all-purpose academic superstar? Question 2. is it possible. on the other hand. for the college to find just as much happiness and fulfillment under a president who skinned hogs at Oscar Mayer's meatcutting plant in Madison. Wis.. hustled Jeeps to Wisconsin farmers. plucked tobacco leaves. won the state high school hurdles championship. and carried a rifle for two years as a Marine Corps infantry officer? Workaholic The answer to both questions is yes. since both "resumes" flow' from the wide-gauged energies of one man —Dr. Charles Samuel Anderson. Last July. Anderson. 50. became the seventh president of Augsburg College in Minneapolis. The choice could not have surprised the US. Marine Corps. Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul. Minn. or the broad fraternity of Anderson's friends and admirers in academia. The Marines list him as first in the 1952 off icers' training class of 500. The seminary records him as first in its 1957 graduating class. After wading through the full catalog of Anderson's church and academic posts. his scholarship and other achievements. a Minneapolis newspaperman said to a friend: “People in Minnesota forever are asking: Whatever happened to Jack Armstrong. the onetime all-American boy of radio? Well. he changed his name and now is running Augsburg College.“ The new president does not argue with the suspicion that he is a workaholic. But if the label implies a man in grinding. joyless pursuit of perfection. Anderson does not quality. “Some of the students. especially in my early phase of teaching. had the impression I was cool personally. . . " But. he says, "l've worked on that. And i think it's fair to say my temperature has climbed con- siderably." To the stranger encountering Anderson for the first time. his humanity and core idealism seem natural. He talks easily and unpretentiously. Tall. balding. and athletic. he says his daily handball game at Augsburg's Melby Hall is as important to him as staff briefings. During free time. he is likely to be splitting wood at his cabin near Cornucopia. Wis.. or teaming with his wife. Catherine. on some renovation scheme in their 67-year-old home in St. Paul. i asked Anderson what's different about students in college today. parti- cularly at a Lutheran college like Augsburg: “l’m sure today‘s students think more about the job market than students did 10 years ago." he says. "So courses like business administra- tion and economics, which might seem to promise direct access to jobs. are more popular than ever. “i think the biggest difference. though. is in attitude. A few years ago. reflecting the adult world around them. students were preoccupied with themselves. . Young people said the old values were so bad that history should start over with their genera- tion. “I see idealism in youth today." Anderson continues. “in a far less strident form than it took back in the ‘803. But i think much of it is waiting to be motivated. Augsburg historically has attracted service- oriented young people and still is It's a place where we see ourselves as individuals. in Christ. with an enor- mous amount of work to be done in the world around us." Future of church colleges The same inflationary pressures that seem to have induced a new seriousness in the classrooms at Augsburg have created some anxieties about the future of the small church college in the United States. Says Anderson: “it's nothing to panic about. but some of the public schools around us have better defenses against those pressures. We have to work it out. because it would be a tragedy for this country to lose the priceless diversity of today's higher education. There have to be the Augsburgs."

Il’hotos h) ('arl Minor) There are fewer minority students at the colleges of The American Lutheran Church (ALC) now than there were five years ago but the time is ripe for a resurgence of interest in enrollment of blacks. native Americans. Hispanics, and Asian Americans at the 12 ALC schools. This prediction was made at a conference of 50 minority students and staff from the ALC colleges held at Augsburg College in December. in a "better to light a candle than curse the da rkness" keynote address to the conference. Dr. Richard Green, vice president of academic affairs and dean of Augsburg College pointed to the progress that had been made in bringing minority students to ADC campuses. Since 1979 the ALC has awarded 51.146000 in minority scholarships. 0f the approximately 1.000 students who received this assistance for one to four years, more than 400 have graduated. Three major concerns addressed at the conference were life on the campus. the problems of recruitment and retention of minority students, and the integration of minority students into the academic programs of the colleges. Bonnie Wallace, coordinator of the American lndian Program at Augsburg, was one of the conference participants. She also expressed concerns over recruitment costs; whether or not the curriculum meets the needs of minority students; and acceptance within the college both academically and socially. Wallace's office at Augsburg works with American lndian students at Augsburg including recruitment and admissions functions. While finances will continue to be a problem, it is not the only one—perhaps not even the major one—admissions counselors and minority program advisers said. Of at least equal importance. they insisted, is the necessity of a clear understanding on the part of the church and the colleges as to why they should have minority students and how to retain them once the students come to college. This takes commitment, they pointed out. often against financial and cultural obstacles that could easily dissuade the colleges from the program. For instance, Phyllis Wyatt, coordinator of minority student affairs at St, Olaf College in Northfield, explained that it costs far more to recruit a minority student than a white student, largely because it takes more travel and time to find enough minority students who qualify.

Dr. Jesus Gonzales. of California Lutheran (‘ollege in Thousand Oaks, warned against the danger of channeling all scholarship aid to the middle class minorities. those who might get scholarships through the same channels that white students get them. “We ought to be out there helping the most disadvantaged to get into our schools. and once they are there provide them with enough support that they will graduate," he said. The conference was reminded that the real purpose of having minority students at ALC colleges is to serve the students themselves and not just to make the colleges feel good. Nevertheless, the students and staff said that the presence of minority students on the campus is a vital part of the educational process of the whole student body. “It's not enough to have minority students learn about the dominant American culture or even to take courses in their own cultural backgrounds.“ “It should be a part of the education of whites that they live with and learn from the minority students."

Show moreFrom horse-drawn carts to computers, Andersons span three generations By Anne (E. ltllllngstnd Stuffwrlter Above Beatrice Anderson's desk on the second ' floor of Memorial Hall hangs a picture of her nine grandchildren. all in Augsburg sweatshirts. "i gave them all sweatshirts for Christmas a couple of years ago." Anderson said. The oldest is now a junior in high school. Will he follow the family tradition and become a student or employee at Augsburg College? The family tradition started with Anderson‘s father. Andreas Helland. who was a theology professor. chairman of the Scandinavian Department and dean of the Seminary in the early years of Augsburg's history. He was also the historian of Augsburg's first 50 years. Augsburg Seminar Gjennem Femti Aar is written in Norwegian. “My father offered us kids what seemed to be a lot of money at the time if we would read his book.“ said Anderson. “but [don‘t think any of us ever earned it." Anderson was born and raised on the campus . when it was just —— “The Block." The Helland ‘ family lived in Gamle Hovedbygning or Old Old Main. which stood on the lot Science Hall now occupies. The Hellands lived on campus until Augsburg became co—ed and the professors“ residences were needed for dormitories. “We lived in both Old Old Main and West Hall." said Anderson, "and i remember using the old pump in the courtyard of Old Old Main. " There were a few cars. but the students‘ luggage as well as the milk were delivered in horse-drawn carts. Sometimes the horses would get startled by cars and "milk bottles were smashed on the corner by Murphy Square and the milk spilled all over the sidewalk." The professors' children played on "The Block" and the students seemed to enjoy having them around. "They used to swing the jump rope for us." says Anderson. and one time when a blizzard came a meeting at Trinity Church. the students carried uiechﬂdren home. On the sandy lot which is now The Quad. the students used to play games. such as croquet. which they called “preacher‘s pool " Big changes occurred when Augsburg became eo-ed. Girls took over the smaller houses on campus. while the boys stayed in North Hall or “The Wooden Men‘s Dorm." "And the boys had to behave mannerly in the dining hall." said Anderson. She was in eighth grade at the time. The big social event of the year was the professors' reception for the students. Usually in the winter. this was held in Main (Old Main l. on the second floor. Anderson remembers. and the children were invited. The band played. and often (Sec pa go 5. Bee Anderson t AUVLL‘JLU t. .L‘..,.‘.. Lawn .Itza Augsburg College llbl'ct ‘ Peri "it"! it Dept.

Old Main was erected in 1900. dedicated in 1902 and rededicated in 1980 following renovation that allowed the structure's history to come alive. As construction workers peeled away marks of time and change. the original beauty and meaning of Old Main surfaced. And. once again, the building became a symbol of progress and a source of pride for Augsburg College. Erected in 1900 at a cost ofabout 350.000. "New Main" was an exciting replacement for the wooden buildings in which Auggies had worshipped and studied. The size and elevation of the budding made Augsburg a prominent sight in the area. "1 It) presents a rather imposing view when seen from the street below.” said Professor A. Urseth in his dedication speech. “The architecture is uniformly classic." said Urseth. "leaving on the mind tan) impression of simplictly and harmony." Such timeless beauty has allowed Old Main to remain a source of pride for nearly BOyears. The size and beauty of the building were not all that pleased Auggies of 1902. “The true character of the building must bejudged by its interior plan and construction." according to Urseth. Old Main provided sufficient space for activities of the 200 students enrolled in the seminary, college and academy. The gymnasium. located in the basement. was. according to Urseth. the finest in the area. Classrooms were large and pleasant. The entire building was hailed by Urseth as having “no low ceilings and no dark halls." H,,.~—w As the daughter of an Augsburg professor. Ht’t‘ Anderson ll\ ed in "old" Old Main.

Old Main also housed the student-run library. the bookstore and the Augsburg Museum A but the real center of life for the community was the chapel located on the first floor. Students arrived each day for a 7:45 am. chapel service. Roll was called and the professors sat on the platform and looked out on the student body. it has been said that the chapel and its daily service were the "heart of the institution." Although chapel hour was changed to 10 am. around 1920. the change failed to provide Augsburg students with a few extra hours of sleep. Students attended three classes prior to the chapel service. Nineteentwenty brought with it a much greater change than chapel time — Augsburg became coed with five women enrolling. One Echo article stated. “Some people thought the appearance of coeds in the halls of Augsburg would arouse some stir. but other than the first surprise. . . we are now accustomed to it as though we had always had coeducation.“ Only one change was made in Old Main to accommodate Augsburg‘s first women. The faculty washroom on the first floor was given to women and remained the only women's lavatory until 1950. So central was Old Main to the academic and spiritual lives of all members of the Augsburg community that even the college‘s losses were acknowledged there. Three presidents of the collegt died in office between 1907 and 1937: George Sverdi'up in 1907'. Sven Oftednl in 1911; and George Sverdrup in 1937. Their bodies laid in state in the first floor hallway with students standing guard. in the years al'ter1920, the students and atmosphere of Augsburg changed from a highly spiritual emphasis to a more secular one.

Career Resource Network The newly graduated Auggie faces many challenges and decisions in the transition from Augsburg to the working world. Finding the right job is a tough job in itself. Work values must be examined. skills defined. pertinent career information gathered and the liberal arts experience translated into a marketable commodity. The job search can be especially frustrating the first time around when the candidate has no concrete "experience" to back up the skills acquired by the years of study at Augsburg. The transitional period can be discouraging but it doesn't have to be frightening. With support and encouragement. searching for a job can be a rewarding and exciting experience. The Augsburg Alumni can help to make that search a positive experience. The Career Planning and Placement Office has a mentor program called CAREER RESOURCE NETWORK. which matches each senior with an alumnus who shares the same career interests. The alum would act as an adviser in the graduate's job search. He/She would be a resource for career-related information. act as a sounding board in the student's career decisions and perhaps suggest additional source people the student could contact. Most importantly. the alumnus would be there as a friend for the senior. Augsburg Alumni hold important and challenging positions and are successful contributors to the working community. They are respected examples of the worth and versatility of a liberal arts education. We urge you to share your pride in your work and in Augsburg with a graduating senior.
