Behind the desk is the president of a prestigious downtown law firm. the father of three children. the recipient of many civic awards and chairman of the board of regents of Augsburg College. Clayton I... LeFevere. After 12 years on the board of regents. LeFevere will be stepping down at the end of this year. Since 1970 when he was elected to the board. LeFevere has seen many changes at Augsburg. "Very soon after I started. I began thinking about the Renewal Fund. The physical plant was in need of revitaliza- tion. The effort at that time was to ensure the survival of Augsburg." said LeFevere. The Renewal Fund was initiated in the fall of 1916 to provide capital resources for campus facilities. The Renewal Fund campaign was much more ambitious than expected Everyone doubted if Augsburg could reach its goal of $4.8 million because the college was so far behind. Needless to say. that goal was met and exceeded." said LeFevere. "This success was due mainly to Oscar Anderson who was able to build a strong and lasting relationship with the business community.“ said LeFevere. As a consequence of the Renewal Fund. Augsburg made many physical changes and additions such as the new Music Hall. the Women's Physical Education facility. the restoration of Old Main. some remodel- ing of other campus buildings and accessibility projects (tunnel and elevators) for the handicapped. “My first contact with Augsburg was on a part-time basis, I coached debate and oratory in 1946 to supplement my income while I was in law school at the University of Minnesota. From 1947 to 1951 I taught several sections of speech at Augsburg," said beFevcre. He was a student at St Olaf from 1940 to 1943 where he was active in forensics. Prior to law school. LeFevere was a bombardier in the Air Force in the Southwest Pacific. “My contact with Augsburg resumed in 1910 when l was elected to the board of regents. The college's Articles of incorporation had changed so it was per-misible to have a non~A1£ or non- Lulheran on the said LeFevere. chairman of the board since 1972. “The role of a regent is to have the ultimate corporate responsibility for the well-being of the college. Board members are responsible for preserving the institution's tradition and enhancing the mission." said Lel-‘evere. He said members of the board are . r “‘ for " policy ' providing personal financial support and advising and counseling in the areas in which they excel to advance the cause of thecollege. LeFevere thinks the board is even more committed and involved than in past years. “The board has changed only to the extent to which it enters into tasks. The position is no longer one of just honor and ceremony. Board members are willing to jump into tasks ‘with both feet'.“ said LeFevere. “The members have a wide range of abilities and the extent to which they involve themselves in the well»being of the college is a characteristic that l hope can be preserved. " said LeFevere. In the past 10 to 15 years. the college and the board have been committed to responding to legal responsibilities. The board has worked toward providing accessibility for handicapped and meeting equal opportunity guidelines. "While Augsburg is a leader in this area. much remains to be done to make the college fully accessible Augsburg has the opportunity for service to the handicapped which is in keeping with the spirit of the college." said Lel-‘evere. “Augsburg is ready to ‘hitch up its belt' to get ready for another development campaign The academic facilities are serviceable but not necessarily adequate." said LeFevere. Plans are being developed for phySical plant improvements. A Communication Arts and Worship Center would be built to be used as a theater. worship center and conference center. Development of Memorial Hall. the Library and Science Hall would modernize the learning and administrative atmosphere Because approximately 30 students now housed in Memorial Hall would be displaced. coupled with concern for security. new student housmg is being considered Optimum use of athletic facilities [5 also under review “Augsburg is and will be different from the other ALC colleges because of ihe urban location and large population center Augsburg offers a quality education in a metropolitan setting and numerous opportunities for service for students. faculty and staff." said bet-“even , “s ~ ’ . 'l'he metropolitan connection between Clayton L. LeFevere and Augsburg College is one of more than a skyline view out of Lel-‘evcrc's "In the short run. the competition is very tough. Costs are rising and so is tuition. The board has raised tuition with the greatest reluctance and with no choice. Augsburg doesn't have a large endowment. so it has had to run on a ‘pay as you go' basis. which it has been ‘ ' in doing." said LeFevere. “Augsburg‘s long-range prospects are tremendous, The college may well have 2000 to 2250 students by the year 1990. The opportunities are exciting. the staff and faculty are strong and its body of friends and supporters is growing." said LeFevere. “I'm grateful to Augsburg for allowing me to serve on the board, It's been a privilege to serve with all the people I‘ve worked with. A person only has a liiiiilcd number of opportunities to do [be things one feels are meaningful and worthwhilc This has been such an endeavor. It has been satisfying and enriching in that 1 have taken more than 1 have given." said LeFevere. — Pa!

Number 5 Education costs rise; college faces challenge You‘ve heard about it on radio and tele vision. You've read about it in newspapers and magazines and you may be directly affected. The means of financing a college education are changing. Because of the proposed federal and state cuts in financial aid. Augsburg is tackling student financial concerns in three ways: - lnstituting a smaller tuition increasc than most Minnesota private col- leges; - Apportioning an increased amount of the annual budget for financial aid; and - Focusing on helping families find the financial plan suited to their needs, Nationwide. the price of a college edu- cation - tuition. room and board. supplies. personal expenses and transportation costs - has doubled in the last 10 years This year, college costs nationally have gone up 14 percent. For 1982-83. public institutions in Minnesota will raise tuition by an average of 24.8 percent and Minnesota private institutions by 188 percent on an average. Augsburg's tuition increase will be held to 12.1 percent and room. board. and fees to 102 percent. resulting in an average incrczisc of 11:1 percent. Tuition at Augsburg will be $4.821), an increase of $520 from the current year Room and board will be increased by $200 to $2.277. Inflation is still a strong determinant in all areas. Energy costs will continue to be high.

Whatever the (ﬁULttcaRﬁm An experience that’s over; the commencement of what's to come money and fatten up the rapidly depleting social security fund." One friend. somewhat tongue-in- check. said.

Probably you should just tell them to From classroom lectures to commencement addresses. graduates are (iail Sathre, Kenyon .\I.\: Shelley Sawyer. Minneapolis, and Dave Scliepers.('haska MN.

You look about and realize that you will never all be together again. lmportant. incomparable. irretrievable days are ending. The uncertain future is at hand. Parents. relatives and friends look on with feelings of pride. engaging in nostalgic reflections about earlier times in your lives and theirs. Underclassmen reach out to you. as you come and go. for what may be the last opportunities for expressing their regards and their good wishes. Faculty. having invested a significant part of their lives in you. have joined you now in academic processton. celebrating your achievements. feeling rewarded by your growth. experiencing reactions akin to those of parents bidding sons and daughters farewell For staff. for regents. for everyone. this is an occasion of great moment: a day suitable for reflection and stocktaking; a day filled with hope and promise. ‘leavethings alone!“' A more serious-minded friend advised. “Tell them not to be immobilized by self- pitv and doubt. Sure. these are uncertain times. but we and our families have often faced circumstances that were worse. We made it. So will they." I looked for a possible theme by retracing the name of the college As you know. the college was not named after the city of Augsburg. Germany. but after the Confession of Augsburg. an historic statement of Protestant belief. presented to the Emperor Charles V in that city some 452 years ago. I like it that this college is named after a statement of belief rather than a person or a place. Not just ideas but beliefs have always counted here. whether expressed in the precepts of Dr. Martin Luther or the “dreams” of Dr. Martin Luther King Looking further. however. l found that the city of Augsburg was named in honor of Julius Caesar's grand-nephew. the Roman Emperor Augustus who reigned when the city was founded in about H BC Augustus. in turn. was given his name by “I like it that this college is named after a statement of belief rather than a person or a place. Notjust ideas but beliefs have always counted here. . Realizing its importance. I have wondered at times how I ever had the temerity to accept this responsibility. It was a special honor to be asked. however. and I was enough of 8 Walter Mitty to accept. Whether you knew it or not you chose not to have a learned academic dissertation on some weighty subject and not to have a newsworthy declaration on some important public policy issue. This will be instead. an unsophisticated statement by a layman about this college. this day and this class. I cast about in a number of different ways in an effort to prepare: I asked others Vt hat they thought one should say. in these times. toa graduating class. My wife said. “The class will want you to be funny and short " You may already have some suspicions as to whether or not I'll be funny: and we shall leave you in suspense for yet a little while as to whether these comments will be short. One of my older friends said, “Tell them to do their best to get jobs. earn the Roman Senate. The empire had flourished under his leadership and a name was conferred which appears to have been derived from the Latin word "augeo" meaning “to make greater: to augment." I like it that this college derives its name from a word connoting augmentingoraugmentation. I re-read Professor Chrislock's interesting Centennial history of this college. From Fjord to Freeway. If you haven‘t read it (and you should) it gives an account of what now seem like endless disputations about policy and doctrine. conflicts about institutional mission. uncertainty as to the college's permanent location. scandal. bad fortune and bad timing. (Things haven't changed completely. But maybe they're a little better nowadays.) Dr. Oscar A. Anderson. former Augsburg president. characterized the book as being. in part. a description of the college's “unmitigated struggle to remain alive." It is also a story of indomitable courage. faith. idealism and sacrifice. qualities which have continued to sustain this college to this day. Then, [reflected on things as they were here in 1946 when I first became acquainted with the college. Dr. Bernard Christensen and Gerda Mortensen were here. as were such persons as Martin Quanbeck and PA. Sveegen. Arthur Nash and H.N. Hendrickson — whose service on the faculty had begun in the year 1900. The campus was quite small and most of it was located in the block just west of Murphy Square. The college was then starting to face out and reach out. moving away from the isolation of earlier times. What was the Augsburg spirit then? I found this 1948 statement by President Christensen concerning it: "The true Augsburg spirit comes to expression as the Christian life- pattern is wrought out. Principles are not enough. Words must become flesh ’ ‘ ’ let this spirit ofAugsburg express itself over more completely. to the end that each of us may become a noble exemplar of the new Life. the good Way. the living Truth revealed in Christ. This is the goal ofChristion education." It helped me to realize that the ethos of that day is still present: that what Augsburg was about then - expressing belief. working to augment - is what it is about today. Minneapolis, Minnesota programs can never achieve their rightful place as long as they must be presented in the ancient and decrepit “Stage 2“ building next door. suitable chapel on this campus. The Communications Arts and Worship Center. now under consideration. can meet these needs. Nor is it too much to hope that the agenda for the 80‘s will .include improved library. science and athletic facilities. additional student housing. and an endowment that can provide better faculty rewards. more adequate student aids and greater financial security. In making its future physical improvements Augsburg has an opportunity that will come only once. It can design and locate its future buildings so as to create a feeling of unity and harmony throughout the campus: it can create an atmosphere of unpretentious but genuine beauty. Through the coordinated use of courtyards and entrances. walk- ways. street closings and unified landA scaping it can create the distinct environ- ment of the Very Special Place » which it is. I make these comments to you about my hopes for your alma mater‘s future development because it is your alma mater; because I assume that you will care about it; and because one day its welfare will rest in other hands including yours. . ’Of course. I also make these comments today because. as a departing board member. it is one of the last shots I will . . My hopesforyouralma mater’s future development because it is your alma mater: because I assume thatyou will care about it: and because one day its welfare will rest in other hands including yours." If the college's basic reasons for being have remained the same. the last twenty years or so have represented the period of greatest physical change in Augsburg‘s history. During that period the college has completed Melby Hall. Psychology Building. Music Hall. Ice Arena. Student Center. Urness Hall. Mortensen Tower. the renovation of Old Main. barrier removal and a number of other improvements. During the same period the college has completed the acquisition of most of the properties between 20th and 25th Avenues from Riverside to the Freeway. There is now assurance that the ultimate campus. most of which is still not occupied by permanent college buildings. will be nearly as large as the campus at Augsburg Park in Richfield would have been. \ Much more needs doing. This is a liberal arts college; its drama and theater have. (Incidentally. twelve years of service on the Augsburg Board is by no means a record. Sven oftedal. one of the giants in the history of this college and a person whose'name appears on one of its buildings. was chairman of the board almost continuously from June 1874 until his death in 1911. I envy his endurance but. frankly. I do not envy the length of his service - or the manner in which it came to an end. ) ~ ' After all of this casting about. which did prove to be helpful. I chose to comment on a subject encompassed by the title “Commencement of What?" I know: The word “commencement” as it is ordinarily used in connection with graduating seniors means “taking a degree." For rhetorical convenience I have chosen to use the word in its other meaning as “beginning.” Using the word in that sense. when we ask the question “Commencement of What?

Fewer ALC college grads in seminary The percentage of church-college graduates at seminaries related to The American Lutheran Church tALCl is now half of what it was 20 years ago. The 1962493 percentage figure was 79 percent and for the 19111412 term. the figure was 40 percent. Several factors were noted as relating to this declining number. However. the high cost of obtaining an education in a private coltege or university was indicated as being a key factor. Dr. William H. Weiblen. president of Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque. Iowa. says he has seen “a continuing decline in good preparation for seminary study that most seminarians had when they gained their undergraduate education in church colleges and universitis." “There is no doubt in my mind that people who have our full preparation (of church college and seminary study! have the quality of education very necessary for continuing high~caliber clergy." m sNOW Motions—5 Education careers exempliﬁed in selection of college's 1982 distinguished alumni ltisthattimeoftheyearinwhich Augsbin-g College again recognizes those alumni who exemplify the purpose and mission of the college through their continual strin‘ng for excellence and outstanding service to people.

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. Graciously. and by his own powerful will he draws us to himself.

The same position is summarized by Luther in the Small Catechism. “I believe that I cannot. by my own reason and strength. believe in Jesus Christ my Lord nor come to him..." 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. "Augsburg‘s efforts are not a reaction to governmental regulations. 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. It really wasn't until I went to work and was able to compete with other people who didn't have my Members of the Augsburg College Board of Regents join the Commencement processional through Murphy Square: disability that I found out I couldnyt be better than formality and fun combined to make commencement memorable for Paul B. Batalden. Charles W. Arnason. N. Stanley anybody else, [sure got the message that it was Stake, Norman R. Carpenter and Merton P. Strommen. good to find this out, Just before I went to work and I was in college, everything happened. I used to have a bit more vision than I have today. Ishould change that . . . 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.
