Alumni Board assists with fundraising At the Alumni Board’s strategic planning retreat last August, a fundraising com- mittee was created to assist the College in its development initiatives — speciﬁ- cally in the current Augsburg 2000 pro— ject. The Augsburg 2000 goal is to raise $20 million through December 2000 (see graphs on page 6). The alumni fundraising committee is taking the lead in helping the College raise $400,000 for the Annual Fund by creating the Alumni Leaders in Giving campaign. Their strategy is to ﬁnd 200 alumni to donate $2,000 each by the year 2000. They are reaching out to cur- rent and former board members and class agents to assist them in encourag— ing others to reach the goal. The money will help support students ﬁnancially, enhance learning through technology and attract and support faculty. Members of the fundraising committee are: Brent Crego ’84 (chair), John Jenneke ’71, Carmela Brown Kranz ’84, Peter Thorson ’85, Men Johnson ’59 and Betty Williams ’84.

Christensen Endowment seeks $1 million for endowed chair The Augsburg 2000 initiative targets $1 million to realize the dream of alumni, friends and family of Bernhard M. Christensen — an endowed chair in the religion department. As of December 31, cash gifts to the endowment total $391,452. Christensen was signiﬁcant in the life of Augsburg for over 40 years as student, teacher and president until his death in 1984. He led the College through crucial changes, including a change in direction and name from solely a “seminary” to a “college.” Shortly after his death, the Bernhard M. Christensen Endowed Fund was estab- lished to preserve his legacy. The primary goal is the establishment of an endowed professorship that embraces Christensen’s world view, valuing diversity in cultures, education and spirituality, and placing utmost importance on liberal arts educa- tion in a college of the church. The Christensen Endowment Committee is currently working with College ofﬁcials to deﬁne the criteria, interests and activi- ties of the endowed chair. “We’re very excited with the sense of momentum toward the $1 million goal,” said Paul Daniels ’79, committee chair and archivist/curator at Luther Seminary. “An endowed professorship will enrich the education offered at Augsburg, and preserve the legacy of Bernhard Christensen, one of its giants.” The Christensen Endowment, through its interest generated, also provides for an annual symposium on faith and spiri- tuality. The 1999 symposium, to be held October 11, is titled “Spirituality and Racial Diversity," with featured speaker Dr. James Forbes, the Harry Emerson Fosdick Adjunct Professor of Preaching at Union Theological Seminary, and senior minister at Riverside Church, New York. This topic, while critical in Augsburg’s mission, was also signiﬁcant in the life of Christensen. In 1946, he was appointed to the Minneapolis Council on Human Relations, and served for six years to dis— pel racial and religious discrimination. For information or to make a gift to the Christensen Endowment, contact the Ofﬁce of Institutional Advancement, 2211 Riverside Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55454 or call (612) 330-1613 or (800) 273-0617.

Quanbeck ’59 Maroon 6- Silver Club New AAL matching gift program benefits Augsburg Aid Association for Lutherans (AAL) has initiated a new gift—matching program to beneﬁt Lutheran elementary and sec- ondary schools, colleges and seminaries nationwide. Any annual gift of $25-$100 made by an AAL member to Augsburg or other par- ticipating Lutheran institutions will be matched dollar for dollar by AAL. “AAL has a long history of supporting Lutheran education nationwide," said Fred Ohlde, AAL senior vice president. “The member gift-matching program allows AAL members the opportunity to direct funds to the institution of their choice.” How can I double my gift to Augsburg? When making a gift to Augsburg, AAL members complete a gift—matching application and send it along with the gift to Augsburg. What gifts to Augsburg will be matched? One personal contribution per calendar year made directly to Augsburg in cash, up to $100 (minimum $25). What does not qualify for matching? Contributions already matched by other individuals or organizations. Example: If your employer already matches your gift to Augsburg, you need to make a sepa- rate gift to secure the AAL match. AAL, based in Appleton, Wis., is a fraternal beneﬁt society of 1.7 million Lutherans and their families who are joined together for insurance, education and volunteer opportunities. For further information and matching gift forms, call the Ofﬁce of Institutional Advancement at (612) 330-1613 or (800) 273-0617. Matching gift applications are also available from local AAL representatives.

Pohtilla coaches at the Olympic training center Iill Pohtilla, women‘s hockey coach, was chosen to participate at the national hockey development camp at the Olympic training center in Lake Placid, N.Y., from June 21-July 2. Pohtilla was one of nine coaches there. Augsburg College, a Division 111 school, was represented along with Harvard, Boston College, Dartmouth College and the University of Minnesota. Pohtilla coached the top seventy-eight 15— to 16- year old female hockey players in the country. The camp is to help iden- tify US. Olympic hopefuls. Other ath- letes were also present at that time. "I think the kids really saw how impor- tant this was in that there were other people training there. There were ﬁgure skaters, the luge team, ski jumpers, free- style skiers. It was incredible to see all that going on and be a part of the excite- ment,” said Pohtilla. “Plus the kids were eager and excited, and they were very tal- ented. It was a lot of fun to work with them.” Most days, the group was up and ready to hit the ice by 8 am. and kept going until 9:30 p.m., when lights had to be out. The 78 athletes were divided into groups and each group would be on the ice for about ﬁve to six hours a day. When not on the ice, they attended lectures and talks about hockey. “It was very exhausting but really fun. I was on the ice about eight to nine hours a day, sometimes helping other coaches with their teams,” said Pohtilla. Athletes and coaches were housed on the Olympic grounds, using the facilities that US. gold medalists have used in the past. Ben Smith, the current women's national team coach and the Olympic coach for 1998, hosted the camp. Smith will coach the ﬁrst women’s hockey team able to compete for a medal in the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan. We’ve 301 W, 4701 We do. Wc’vc 301 ' , ﬂow $001 you?

Leading the way is junior wide receiver Scott Hvistendahl, who was named a third team All-American by Football Gazette last season and received honorable mention All-American recog- nition from Hewlett Packard. Hvistendahl was ﬁfth nationally with 121.3 receiving yards per game last sea- son. Throwing to Hvistendahl will be senior quarterback Derrin Lamker, who combined with Hvistendahl to set seven school passing records last season. Senior tight end Ted Schultz had 43 receptions last season and gives Lamker another outstanding target. Men’s, women’s soccer The women’s soccer team loses confer- ence player of the year Astrid Larssen, but returns junior goalkeeper Beth Petr'ik, who had eight shutouts and a 0.87 goals against average in 16 games last season, and senior midﬁelder Amber Salsman, who was second on the team in scoring with 14 points. Salsman was an honorable mention All—MIAC selection. Last season the Auggies were 11-5-1 overall and 6-3-1 in the conference under head coach Scott Hansing. The men’s soccer team had a rebuilding season last year under ﬁrst-year Head Coach Benjy Kent, going 2-16 overall and 0-10 in the MIAC. It should get bet- ter this season, however, as the Auggies lost no seniors from last year’s squad.

I want to be a part of the debate, the reforming debate, about curriculum; and I want my colleagues on the so- called administration to be a part of it. I want this to be a community thing. I don’t want to steal it, I just want to be a part of the debate. I want us to think through what our mission is, what kind of a curriculum that mission requires, what kind of a faculty that curriculum requires, and what we are doing in the form of faculty development — to make sure that we’re working this up into an integrated, effec- tive whole so that we can deliver the goods that we’re promising to deliver. Thoni: f I were to express the mood of the campus, I would say that it’s anxiety paired with anticipation and per- haps even excitement about what might be our collective future together. The question that I hear from folks is: what are the three most important agenda items for Augsburg College as we pre- pare to be a prosperous and successful college in the let century? I think the ﬁrst is communal clarity about our purpose. And that might be broken down into an identity question— who are we?—which is partly a matter of where we have come from, what our rocks are, and what has identiﬁed as “We have to know who we are and what we're up to.” from the point of view of tradition, the great formative force, it seems to me, in the human world.

Pictured: far left, clockwise from top—Chris Kimball, Kathy Tunheim, lohn lenneke, Mary New; narrow left photo—Chris Kimball; above, from left — Rick Thoni, Kathy Tunheim, lohn Jenneke; narrow right photo—Rodny Toni. And then the question is, if that’s who we are, then what are we doing? What is it that we’re here to accomplish? That’s going to take, I think, a very peculiar mix of deliberation and leadership. That’s the ﬁrst agenda item, it seems to me. We’ve got to have an answer that’s sharp- er, clearer than it is, and it’s got to be exciting to us or at least to the great bulk of us. We may discover an answer to that great question which will not be satisfying to some members of the community, and that will redeﬁne the community. But that’s the ﬁrst big one, I think. The second big one grows right out of it—how do we adapt what we’re up to, to what properly serves the world? In the ﬁrst question, we’ve got to properly serve ourselves; we have a soul. I’m going to try to make mine reﬂect it. But the institution exists; it is, and we have to know what it is before we can answer the question of what it should do. When you answer the question of what it should do, that answer is almost certain to be something large, general in a sense, helpful, but not detailed. Then the question is, given the world in which we exist, what service must we be to it, to carry out our mission? That is an adaptive question that is going to chal- lenge a different level of mind, a different kind of intelligence. Those are two very closely connected, but, I think nonethe- less, generically separate issues. “I would like to be sitting down with my colleagues at every level and seeing a kind of glint in their eyes.” I think the third one is how we do all of that. We have to ﬁnd a form of life on the campus that allows us to do all of this thinking in a fully civil, candid, inge- nious, participative way. If we’ve got hierarchy that frees some from responsibility for the outcome, we’ve got to destroy it. If we’ve got a democratic culture that prevents decision, we’ve got to destroy that. We’ve got to ﬁnd a way, in other words, to conduct our lives on an everyday basis so that these great questions that we’re discussing can, in fact, be answered. This third thing has in it things like morale, excitement; it’s got human things in it. My wife keeps telling me, “Now, Bill, you’ve got to try to have some fun at this.” I would like to be coming into the ofﬁce and sitting down with my colleagues at every level and seeing a kind of glint in their eyes. I hope they would see one in mine. We ought to be excited by this work, we ought to trust each other. That takes work. We can’t do this work if we’ve got a batch of what are nowadays improperly called political divisions among ourselves. We’ve got to ﬁnd a way to do our work in the way communities once did it and almost never again, in our time, do they do it. Those are the three challenges. That’s a terriﬁc question and I might be spinning around here on really only one—and that is, we have to know who we are and what we’re up to. Appreciation for technical support is extended to Campbell Communications Inc. at Augsburg and the Frank Russell Co. in Tacoma, Wash. Three key administrators leave Augsburg Spring brought the resignation of the three “R’s” at Augsburg’s vice presidential level. Interim appointments were made by President Anderson in June to ﬁll their slots, and searches were recently begun for two new vice presidents. To temporarily ﬁll the top spot in advancement following the resignation of Greg Ritter (reported in the spring issue of the Now), Public Relations and Communication Director Forrest Meyer became acting vice president for advancement. In May, Mike Ranum, vice president for administration and advancement, resigned to take a position as senior relationship manager with Lutheran Brotherhood. Gaye Lindfors, director of human resources, was appointed acting vice president for administration. William Rosser, vice president for stu- dent affairs, the third “R” to leave Augsburg, moved to a similar position at California Lutheran University. Vice President Rick Thoni added student affairs to his duties in enrollment man- agement to become acting vice president for student affairs as well. In July, as incoming President Mlliam Frame announced new organization plans, searches were initiated for vice presidents for advancement and commu- nity relations, and ﬁnance and adminis- tration. Student affairs will be directed by an associate dean in the academic and learning services division under academ- ic Dean Marie McNeff.

Show moreO I. 2 0 CAMPUS NEWS Meet the new president: An interview with William V. Frame Editor’s note: On [u/y 8 six members of the Augsburg community interviewed, via videoconference, Augsburg's new president, Dr. William V. Frame, in Tacoma, Wash. Each asked questions important to the constituents they represent. Here are excerpts from that interview. The participants were: ' Iohn Ienneke, president, Alumni Association - Chris Kimball, president, Faculty Senate - Mary New, staff person and Weekend College student - Rick Thoni, vice president for enrollment management - Rodny Toni, president, student body - Kathy Tunheim. Augsburg regent, moderator Thoni: hat was it about Augsburg Wthat made you want to come here to this institution? I think it’s an institution engaged in a great calling. It’s a calling that I’ve come to appreciate only in the last four years— at least deeply appreciate in that period of time. The business of providing an education for service under the tutelage and guid- ance of Martin Luther for the sake of providing students with an active, excit» ing sense of vocation in this modern world strikes me as a huge challenge and, perhaps, best guided in the tradition of higher education generally by Luther’s understanding of the world and of God and of what kind of education really works. “I think [Augsburg is] an institution engaged in a great calling.” In addition to that, this is a college sit- ting in the middle of a great city and dedicated to the business of embellishing the relationships that that location holds. This second part, I think, adds to the attraction of being at Augsburg. And then, the dedication to what you call intentional diversity strikes me as a critical dimension of conducting educa- tion in an urban setting and in the mod- ern world generally, whether it’s urban or suburban or rural. That constitutes three reasons why I think this is a profoundly interesting place. I think a fourth reason is that it’s a coir lege with a great reputation in respect to its dedication to the principle of service, but with a certain amount of curiosity inside the institution about exactly what “service” is in detail and in speciﬁc form. The notion of being able to help conduct the conversation that would yield a clear- er answer to the question, “What are we up to, why should we be up to it, and how should we be up to it?”—that’s an exciting prospect. lenneke: hat are your thoughts on Wbuilding the connections between alumni and the cam- pus community to ensure that we get increased alumni support? I would like to report a conversation I had only last night and ask you to con- sider it. A sixty-one or -two-year-old woman who graduated from Paciﬁc Lutheran University (and while there met the man to whom she is yet mar- ried) described her connection to the institution nowadays as fundamentally through what we call the Q Club, which is an alumni-centered giving society cul- tivated over a long period of time. All of their celebratory events are held on the campus. The whole focus of that society is around the institution and its mission. I would like to suggest to you that this woman’s recollection is one that we ought to take seriously as the beginnings of the construction, if it doesn’t already exist, of a profoundly attached society of donors to the institution. Augsburg interviewers were able to hear and see one another through television screens with me help of Campbell Communications, Inc. at Augsburg and the Frank Russell Co. In Tacoma, Wash. : a 8‘ z 1’ L5. Linda Cullen That means we’re going to have to use the institution itself as the icon and cen- tral focal point of that enterprise. That probably means that we’ve got to rationalize the continuing education or lifelong education mission of Augsburg by focusing it upon the alumni—some- how or other, drawing out of the alumni a sense of obligation that the learning they got in the form of a degree 5, 10, 15, or 20 years ago is not the only education that this college can provide them. They ought to re-establish their connection with the institution in the name of edu- cation. Toni: he Augsburg student body is I larger one of commuters, which presents a challenge to building extensive campus life and community. Can you envision a campus atmosphere in which students could feel better con- nected and one in which morale could increase, an atmosphere that would make us feel less like a suitcase college? I can envision it; but, boy, I would rather envision it with your help. That’s a vitally important problem. If we took a naive approach and decided to simply meld the weekend student with the residential day student, for example, we probably would founder on a kind of absurdity, because many of those people who are coming to Augsburg on the weekends are not interested in being inte- grated into a community in any pro- found or thoroughgoing way. The real question is, do we have a place in [the student center] which is especially to be used by people who are there for only four or ﬁve hours a day? Is there a place that really tries to make the non-resident student feel at home during the day? That’s one part of the problem, isn’t it? And then the other part of the problem is the weekend student. That, we proba— bly are not going to try to solve in the same way. We’re not going to be deﬁned by the fact that we are, largely, a suitcase college. We’re going to be deﬁned, I would guess and I hope, by the fact that we’re funda- mentally a residential college even though the statistics may not support that. And then we’re going to try to bring the suitcase bearers on a ﬁve-day basis into contact with that community to the degree we can work it out—and that’s surely going to be at least as much out of your brain as it is out of mine. Then we’ve got the third wave to han- dle—what do we do with the Weekend College student? We’ve got to make sure that the curriculum they experience is distinctive, is an Auggie curriculum that you can’t get anywhere else, and if you don’t have it you lose something really valuable. One more point I think the adminis- trative structure of the College has got to be foursquare in integrating Weekend College with day college with interim. I think we’ve really got to start with a heavy emphasis on the proposition that we’re conducting an academic enterprise here of a special and peculiar nature, and there are some who are experiencing it on the weekends and some who experi- ence it from home during the day and some who are living on the campus; some who are part—time, some who are full-time and so on. “We've got to make sure that the curriculum [Weekend College students] experience is distinctive, is an Auggie curriculum that you can't get anywhere else, and if you don't have it you lose some- thing really valuable. ” Kimball: want to raise the subject of faculty Igovernance which is not peculiar to Augsburg, it seems to me; it’s being discussed across the country in all sorts of institutions. I was wondering what droughts you might have on the appro- priate role for faculty in the direction of the institution. Boy, this is the toughest question that any of you have put to me. I suppose, just to be frank, that my largest risk as I take up my duties there is the extent to which I can win, not the support of the faculty so much as, the active participation of the faculty in institutional planning that includes curriculum. The risk, as I see it, is that somehow or another we’ll create a circumstance in which I’m left out of the debate about curriculum. I think the critical matter before us is what kind of a curriculum our mission requires us to proffer. I suspect that it requires us to proffer a curriculum that can only be supported by a faculty that is very interested in breaching the walls of their own disciplines. There ought to be evidence, not that they are sitting in one another’s classrooms, simply, but rather that they are taking up the chal— lenge of teaching a new course, or maybe [teaching] jointly if we can afford it. For example we [should] have no sci- entist in the College who is sitting in his or her lab more or less exclusively; there is a constant kind of pushing out of departmental boundaries.

Dyrud graduated with a double major in physics and Norwegian and will spend the year at the University of Oslo work- ing toward a master's degree in space physics. “ [This] was actually the best way I could think of for combining the skills from my two majors,” he said. After that he plans to pursue a doctorate. He left the US. in early June for Svalbard, Norway, where he presented a paper at an international physics conference. “The Fulbright scholarship has been a tremendously wonderful honor. To tell the truth, I have really been working for it for the past three years; and it is nice to know that sometimes, when you put your mind to it, you really can get what you want,” Dyrud said. He credits his advisers, Mark Engebretson and Frankie Shackelford, as well as Bruce Reichenbach, Augsburg’s Fulbright coor- dinator, for their help during this time. Dyrud is the second Augsburg student in as many years to receive a Fulbright scholarship. Last year, Jackie DeGeest received a fellowship for study in Japan. AUQSBQRG source Now MINNEAPOLIS, MN

From 1963 to 1970, Grindal served as the Augsburg Seminary represen- tative to the Luther Seminary Board during the time when Augsburg Theological Seminary merged with Luther Northwestern Seminary. He and his wife, Augsburg. “Every Harald Grindal ('42) Ionette faithful] _ . Y iAlllgustﬂlgur fillnl- attended Augsburg Y W0 ""9 events, and all three of their children around the small congregations he served in North Dakota to gather monies from the farmers after the harvest for the schools and missions of the LFC —- Augsburg College and Seminary were at the top of his list,” said Gracia Grindal, his daughter and professor of rhetoric at Luther Seminary. Grindal’s love for the College led him to name his daughter, Gracia, after Gracia Christensen, professor emerita and wife of Augsburg’s former president, who had invited Grindal to their house for his ﬁrst Christmas away from home. And he never forgot the kindness Dean of Women Gerda Mortensen showed him while he was head waiter at the Augsburg Dining Hall. (He was the ﬁrst one to graduated from Augsburg and remain active at the College. H. Theodore Grindal is an Augsburg regent. From childhood, Grindal was fond of language and music, especially church music; as a young boy he memorized hymns while milking cows on the farm. He is survived by his wife, Ionette (Torbjor); his three children, Gracia Maria (’65) and LaRhae Anne Knatterud (’70), of St. Paul, Minn., and Harald Theodore (’76) of Eden Prairie, Minn; four grandchildren, Liv Anda, Bryn Anders, Kari Theodore and Erik Haakon; four half sisters and many nieces and nephews. ALUM NOTES 0 15 Orville Hognander (’36), an inspirational leader, dies Orville C. Hognander (’36) died on May 6 in his home of 43 years in Edina, Minn. Hognander’s passion and inspiration helped other people do great things. He had a great entrepreneurial spirit and used it to better the world around him. In 1994 he and his wife, Gertrude (lund) (’36), challenged Augsburg alumni to raise $25,000 for the music department. In the winter of 1996 that goal was reached, and the Hognanders matched the contributions from over 300 music alumni and friends. With that, the music department was able to refurbish several pianos and buy new equipment and software for the department. (See an article in the spring issue of the Augsburg Now.) Hognander’s connection with music at Augsburg began much earlier. While a student in the 1930s, he created, pro- duced and announced “The Hour Melodious,” a weekly program heard nationally on WCCO radio. (See story on page 7) He also participated in the Augsburg Associates, a male quartet. At age 43 a stroke changed his life. He had to learn to talk, walk with the aid of a brace and learn to use his left hand for all tasks, including writing. This experi— ence led Hognander to join the Courage Center Board of Directors and to become a member and elected chairman of the Architectural Barriers Committee for the Minnesota Society for Crippled Children and Adults. His efforts on that panel resulted in laws requiring equal access to buildings for handicapped people. “His role in helping others has had a great impact on my life,” said his son, O.C. (Ioe) Hognander Ir. “On one occa— Orville C. Hognander ('36) sion, an acquaintance brought a young lawyer who had had a stroke to meet my father. The guy was saying that he felt helpless because he could only use one hand and couldn’t dress himself. My father reached up and took off his tie and then put it back on and retied it with his left hand. Then he said, ‘If I can do it, you can do it.’ ” Hognander had great success in his career as well. After his stroke, he resumed his international travel for Tennant. a maker of ofﬁce cleaning machines and other products, and succeeded in opening Tennant’s Japan and Europe sales divisions. Besides his son, survivors include his wife, Gertrude (Lund) (’36); and two sis- ters, Ann Marie Olmstead, Benton Harbor, Mich., and Marjorie Silvis of McLean, Va. Former Augsburg library director Karlis Ozolins (’51) dies Karlis Ozolins, 74, who was head librari— an at Augsburg from 1956 to 1971, died of congestive heart failure on June 18 at his home in St. Paul. Ozolins came to Augsburg from Latvia as a WWII displaced person, sponsored by Trinity Lutheran Church. In 1951 he earned his bachelor’s degree at Augsburg Seminary and a master’s degree in theol- ogy from Luther Seminary as well as a master’s degree in education and library sciences from the University of Minnesota. Ozolins was responsible for increasing the library collection and bringing it up to the standards deemed necessary for the College to be accredited. “He knew the Augsburg library collec- tion so well that he could pick up books at used bookstores to ﬁll in the gaps,” said Margaret Anderson, former library director at Augsburg. “His work [at Augsburg] was crucial." When Ozolins began, the library staff were not required to have professional degrees. Today the staff all have library science degrees and are considered facul- ty due to his efforts. CLIC was another project that Ozolins implemented. “In those days, it was a student bringing books to a different col- lege in their car,” said Anderson. Today, with CLICnet, users have online access to the collections of the member libraries; couriers then deliver the boole. The last 10 years of his career were spent at the University of St. Thomas, where he was head librarian and director of an $8 million library expansion. Survivors include his wife, Sulamit; two sons, Andrew of St. Paul and Peter of Blacksburg, Va.; a daughter, Dina Lisovskis of Wisconsin; and two broth- ers, luris of Latvia, and David of Australia. Editor’s note: Incorrect lnformatlon was printed in the last issue regarding the death oflerold Benzel. We regret the error and include the complete information here. Ierold Benzel. (’51), 68, Prior Lake, Minn., died on Dec. 29 after a long career in life insurance, including 25 years with Security Life Insurance Co. His wife, Vera (Thorson) (’45), taught at Augsburg in the business department, and their son, David (’71 ), worked in the admissions ofﬁce from 1972 to 1979, the last three years as director of admissions. In addition to his wife, Vera, and son David in Groveland, Flat, survivors include a daughter, Ann (Benzel) Rieck ('78), Prior Lake, Minn., and four grand- children. FALL 1997 AUGSBURG COLLEGE NOW

A person from Norway called to learn about Augsburg’s ﬁrst 50 years. Kristin Anderson, art department chair and college archivist, says that calls like these come often — alumni, families and friends of the College are looking for the past. But ﬁnding it has been slightly diﬁicult. Anderson is the ﬁrst archivist at Augsburg since 1985. When she started in the fall, she found that the job was going to take much more time than her 1/7 position as college archivist allowed. 50 she recruited a volunteer: Chuck — otherwise known as President Emeritus Charles Anderson. He and Kristin are cataloging Auggie history with the hopes of making it a usable resource. “There needs to be someplace to go to ﬁnd the history of the College," says Kristin. “This is a place and opportunity for Augsburg history to be honored.” The College has been collecting docu- ments from the beginning. The collec- tion was ﬁrst housed under the stairs of Old Main, the only ﬁreproof room on campus (albeit a dirt ﬂoor). The only access to the room was a three-foot- square opening in the wall. It has since moved on to bigger and still bigger rooms. First in the base- ment of Sverdrup and now the Lindell Library. The last person who was speciﬁ- cally employed to organize the collection was Ruth Futcher ’81 in 1985. Now the daunting task of processing history has been resurrected. Futcher had categorized all the documents, but hadn’t been able to create a working ﬁle system before funds for her position A president's work never ends Charles Anderson is a volunteer extraordinaire in putting Augsburg’s archives into order. were exhausted. In August, the archives had to be transferred to Lindell Library, unorganizing much of this work. “THIS Is A PLACE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR AUGSBURG HISTORY TO BE HONORED.” —- KRISTIN ANDERSON During the move, Augsburg’s president of 17 years walked between the old and new libraries sporting an Augsburg hockey hat and worn jeans, carrying the College’s history to its new home. (Due to the collection’s sensitive documents and art, the entire collection was moved by both Chuck and Kristin, with help from the buildings and grounds crew). Wearing this outﬁt, Chuck greeted faculty members who he guessed were thinking, “Who is this old turkey?” before realizing he was their former president. With all the books and documents in the new archives room (a room, Kristin says, of which other libraries are jealous), Chuck is now organizing history for future generations. The process is time intensive and could take years. Chucks work involves identi- fying what things the archives should keep, where they should be located and how to label them. After that comes the arduous task of putting everything in acid-free boxes and folders. Eventually the cataloged collection will be easy to search by computer. Now is the time to “ [work] with a shovel,” says Chuck. The ﬁne-tuning that comes later will hopeﬁilly be taken over by his- tory interns while Chuck ﬁnally begins to enjoy his retirement. Of course, retire- ment means continuing to chair the Commission on National and Community Service. “I’m not geared to sit around and think great thoughts and so forth," he says laughing. Employing an archivist and securing supplies for the archives collection are made possible through the Archives Enrichment Fund, which was established by the alumni classes of 1939, 194], 1942, 1943, 1945 and 1946. Lois Paulsen Roe Kvamme and Carl Paulsen also donated to the collection in memory of Rev. Ole Paulsen, as did Alphamae Lofgren in memory of Heirner H. Halverson. Hopes are that the fund will eventually be endowed. For more information on how to preserve Augsburg‘ 5 history, call the Ofﬁce of Institutional Advancement and Community Relations, (612) 330-1651.

Perhaps never in its 129-year history have circumstances and events come together as during 1997-98. A new president, a magniﬁcent library, sports championships, student scholarships, faculty awards the events of the year kept amazing everyone. As a result, Augsburg College reached wider audiences than usual this year as the College was involved in events across the country and in Europe. The Waterloo (Iowa) Courier perhaps said it best in its bold sports page headline naming the 1998 Division III Wrestling Champions — “Awesome Auggies.” The year’s box score for athletic teams included four conference championships and national Division III playoffs for the football, men’s basketball, men's hockey and wrestling teams. Three of the four teams made it to the ﬁnal eight; one secured a national championship. (See stories on p. 10 and 11.) For the second time in three years an Augsburg junior won a prestigious Goldwater Scholarship, which recognizes exceptional students pursuing careers in mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering. (See story on p. 3.) Augsburg received national recognition for its community service-learning pro- gram when Sociology Professor Garry Hesser received the 1998 Thomas Ehrlich Faculty Award for Service learning. (See story to the right.) College staff and students traveled to Scandinavia twice this spring. In May, the Youth and Family institute respond— ed to an invitation from the Church of Norway to collaborate with church leaders there about family ministry programs. (See story on p. 6.) Two weeks later, after a hiatus of 23 years, the Augsburg Choir left to go on tour in both Sweden and Norway. Choir Director Peter Hendrickson reported that the comment heard most often in both countries was that the Choir sounded like “singers from heaven.” The next issue of the Now will report on their tour.

The two- year project carries the College forward into the new century. (See story on p. 7.) President William Frame perhaps best summed up Augsburg’s banner year in his Baccalaureate homily to the graduat- ing Class of 1998 and their families: “Your achievements in academics, athletics and service have given the new president a finer start than he could have hoped, and have brought new conﬁdence and sureness of purpose to this College — to its faculty, staff and alumni.” 1m Mimi. |_‘ Ltilmti, i lml ll,lll,l1‘lllv ill :lllrMha .liwli Illui‘l . villi l 11 lki. 11.1mm. alumni." i.” m lillrllldluiiulv, '.uii;.il«l mlv Auggie alumni lead school to four titles in one year By Don Stoner “You can’t go home again.” -— Thomas Wolfe During the 1997-98 school year. Augsburg College coaches have proven that old adage wrong. Very wrong. Four Augsburg teams have won Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championships during this school year, and all four feature Augsburg alumni as their head coaches. The incredible athletic run for the Auggies started in the fall, when head coach lack Osberg, a 1962 Auggie grad, led the football team to its ﬁrst MIAC title since 1928 and the school's ﬁrst-ever berth in the NCAA Division III national playoffs. Osberg earned MIAC Coach of the Year honors from his fellow coaches. Osberg, who played at Augsburg from 1958-61, also had seven Auggie alumni as assistant coaches — defensive coordi- nator Iim Roback '63. quarterback coach Drew Privette '88. linebackers coach Reed Boltman ’38, offensive line coach Darrell Wiese '59, defensive backs coach Bill Kricsel ’95, offensive line coach Ron Scott '62 and defensive line coach Ieff Swenson ’79. The Auggie wrestling team, perennial contenders for national championships, continued the title trend for Swenson. This winter his troops won the NCAA Division 111 national title for the ﬁfth time.

Garry Hesser receives national award for service learning Augsburg News Service Garry Hesser, pro- fessor of sociology and director of experiential educa- tion, was named one of two nation- al winners of the 1998 Thomas Ehrlich Faculty Award for Service Learning by Campus Compact, the pro- ject for public and community service. The Ehrlich award honors its recipients' efforts to involve students in community service as part of their coursework. The award citation reads: “As one of Augsburg College’s pioneers in service learning, Dr. Hesser has been instrumen— tal in establishing its Center for Service, Work and Learning. Thanks to his tire- less efforts and passion for urban studies, countless Augsburg students have experi- enced meaningful and signiﬁcant com- munity service placements." Award recipients also receive a grant. which Hesser will use to support student participation in a new urban sociology text he is co-authoring. In addition it will support colleagues’ travel to sociolo- gy and urban studies meetings to promote service learning. Hesser, also director of metro-urban studies and chair of the social and behavioral sciences division, initiated service learning at Augsburg in 1979. “Indeed, service learning enhances stu- dent engagement and self-directed learn- ing creating a dynamic learning com- ‘munity in which students, teachers and community members continually alter- nate between teachers and learners said Hesser. “My colleagues, both within the academy and the community, young and old, have shared their gifts and accepted mine. We have challenged and changed one another as a community of learners and servers. How could any pro- fessor ask for more opportunities than I have had or more reasons to celebrate the joy of being a teacher, a student, a sociologist and a citizen?"
