ALUMNI BOARD OF DIRECTORS We are seeking names of alumni who you feel would be capable candidates for the Alumni Board of Directors. We have a board at present which is made up of 12 members. There will be an amendment proposed before the annual meeting at Homecoming Sat., Oct. 18, which will seek to increase the board membership to 21 members. If this is passed, there then must be a number of available candidates, and we ask your help in evaluating who you feel might serve in such a capacity to strengthen the alumni endeavor. ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP WINNER NAMED Eight alumni applied for the alumni scholarship this year (the largest number of applicants for any given year) and it was difficult for a decision to be made.

Show more1970 EUROPEAN TOUR, PASSION PLAY The highlight of the 1970 Alumni Eu- ropean Tour will be the Passion play at Oberammergau, Germany. This has been the original site of the play since 1633, and it is staged once every ten years. We will be privileged to attend this magnif- icent production. The play, of course, depicts the life and suffering of Christ, using only persons from Oberammergau for its charac- ters. Interestingly, the women in the cast must be unmarried to perform. This city was spared in the early 1600's as the great plague wiped out all other nearby villages, so a vow was made by the elders of the city to carry out this idea of the Passion play, and the promise has been kept to this day.

Welcome Week for freshmen and their parents begins Sept. 5 and continues through Sept. 9. Freshmen parents will be on campus Sept. 5 to register and be- gin their own orientation program. While new students register, parents will also be registering as part of the Parents 0r- ganization. The Parents Committee will host a coffee period during this time. Fall Family Fest will again be held in connection with the last home football game, Nov. 1. It will include an after- noon program, smorgasbord, and then the game. One of the real "big" events on the Augsburg campus takes place Sat., Feb. 14. This is the annual Parents Day which includes a noon luncheon, an after- noon program, smorgasbord, and an evening basketball game. The Commencement Luncheon May 31, 1970, will again bring together seniors, parents and faculty. The highlight of this event is the presentation of Paren- tal Alumni Certificates to parents of graduating seniors. The Parents Committee pledges to keep you informed on all parents activi- ties. The main vehicle for communication is this newsletter which is published in August, January and June. Any news, ideas or suggestions should be sent to: Parents Committee Augsburg College Minneapolis, Minn. 55404 FRESHMAN PARENTS RECEIVE I.D. CARDS Parents identification cards will soon be sent to parents of incoming freshman Augsburg students. The card en- rolls the parent in the Parents Organiza- tion and carries with it honorary member- ship in the Augsburg Alumni Association. If you are the parent of a new stu- dent and do not receive this card, please consult a member of the Parents Committee during Welcome Week registration. NEW CHALLENGE FOR PSAF Due to extreme cuts in appropria- tions by the federal government for fi- nancial aid to students in higher educa- tion, a new challenge for PSAF is pre- sented in trying to meet student needs. Financial aid (or as we have talked of it in PSAF, "loan dollars") is at a premium. Present plans are that the con- tinuing support of PSAF in conducting a new venture to have the college act as a lending agency will provide the answer to the immediate urgent question. The plan will still include the same procedure for loan needs of our students; and it will take the continuing support of all par- ents. Last year we met the loan demands for our students, and this year PSAF may give the impetus needed to again meet these needs. Our urgent request is to all parents of students past and present to support the PSAF in its loan program in order to continue supporting our youth and our college. COMMENCEMENT LUNCHEON SUCCESS The greatest day for Augsburg par- ents is when they see their senior gradu- ates receive college degrees. Nearly 300 seniors graduated with the largest class in Augsburg's history, so we also had more parents attending than ever before. A cool day, a great program in all areas, inspiring music, fine addresses, and a dignified academic procession culminated in a perfect Centennial commencement. The Commencement Luncheon was atten- ded by over 800 seniors, parents, wives and husbands, and the faculty. Every- thing went smoothly and the highlight of the event was when the senior parents re- ceived their Parental Alumni Certificates from the Alumni Association. The main thought expressed for both seniors and parents to consider was this quote from Michel Quoist's prayer, "Lord, I Have Time": "I am not asking you today, Lord, for time to do this and then that, but for your grace to do conscientiously, in the time that you give me, what you want me to do." 4 O O 5

Other ribbons show where our stu- dents have gone to make Augsburg's influ- ence felt in the world. Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, Central America and Canada feel the outreach of our students and graduates as they per- form their work. Where does a man gain pride? How can he serve? How can he give of himself for others?. We are in the concern business; we are in the love business. That is, we love people the world over. This is why we have been in this business for 100 years. What was is not forgotten; what is must be improved; what is to be must be supported. Where are we? Everywhere. And we are only beginning Century II. WHAT'S IN STORE FOR '70? Students need to be contacted through alumni as well as the church be— cause recruitment is getting very compet- itive. If the alumni and church do not help in this way, we may have difficulty reaching our projected number of fresh- men. Won't you help? Financial aid, a perennial problem for many in all classes, needs your sup- port in order for students to receive as much assistance as they need before funds run out. The college not only lacks the funds to assure each student the amount of money he needs, but monies run out be- fore all students are accommodated. Our church support does not increase from year to year as might be expected. Therefore, the dollars contributed by the church do not reach the demands of rising costs, and we must seek designated gifts for Augsburg from church members. Our alumni who are church members are encour- aged to give directly to the support of the college in addition to pledges to their congregations. Better communication is needed be- tween alumni and city captains, state chairmen and class representatives to help the 21-member board of directors of the Alumni Association contact all alumni and prepare an improved program for you. Attention classes of 1920, '25, '30, '35, '40, '45, '50, '55, '60, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69 and '70: it is time to be- gin thinking about what you may wish to do in connection with your reunion get— together at homecoming on Saturday, Octo- ber 24, 1970. Let your class representa- tives know what activities you might like to be part of so your class reunion will be the best ever. A goal -- last year we set a goal of $100,000 and we raised $105,000. Those who did contribute are urged to continue giving; those who did not are encouraged to start to do so in 1970. We believe that a realistic goal is $125,000. Won't you please help?

Show moreﬂ _ PM N18 EUMMIHEE (90/1,. MINNEAPOLIS 4, MINNESOTA Dear Fellow Parents: The Parents Student Assistance Fund (PSAF) has progressed far beyond our first expectations. During the first year of its existence (the taxable year 1968), the PSAF total of giving exceeded the $10,000 mark. This is tremendous and the only feeling is that to improve this beginning we must continue to remind parents of the on-going program so that those who have been taking part will continue to do so, and others who have not as yet, will begin doing so. Over 600 sets of parents contributed during the first year of PSAF. We urge you to consider helping with this program. What has the program done? It has supplied enough reserve dollars so that last year all our students obtained the ne- cessary loan dollars they needed. We even had a surplus, so we branched out and helped students in four other areas where help was needed but not included in a specific part of the college budget. We helped the choir go to New York City to sing at the United Nations, and we also helped the wrestling team go to the national tournament in Omaha, Nebraska, where they finished llth in the nation. Outward Bound is a program which may provide some training for credit in physical educa- tion and gymnastics is also an area which has now been added to our college curriculum. Aid was given to students in the above areas by application to the Parents Committee after approval was given first by the Dean of Students. Sincerely, YOUR PARENTS COMMITTEE

Show moreThe college does not take a summer vacation. During the summer as in the regular academic year, Augsburg hums with a variety of activities Along with the normal summer school activity, trimming the sails for a new academic year is a primary occupation. The preparations for new students and faculty and the charting of new adventures in transmission of the liberal arts keep the summer crew of Augsburg on the move. [3 Whereas the theme of the last issue might have been characterized “Augsburg extending its boundaries," this report is more in the nature of introspection; we are looking inward to the celebration of our history, our origins, our heritage. There is a time for stock—taking, for pausing a moment before getting on again with the tasks of higher education. There are times for a good look at where we came from, where we have been, how we have fared along the way. I suppose this is another way of saying that the college is re-seeking its identity. Although “identity” has become a much abused word in these times, the need to establish one, nevertheless, is a never—changing requirement for living, growing institutions. E] Starting upon its second hundred years, Augsburg must not lose sight of its first century. Nor must the college be shackled by those fond memories. If nothing else reminds us of the need to grow within our splendid tradition, the new faces this fall on campus will repeat that truth with force and eloquence. Freshmen at Augsburg again, and a new year begins. [:1 Those other new faces, the faculty and staff bringing their talents to the Augsburg scene for the first time, are also reminders that there can be no dallying for very long in the past. The strength of a college is best measured by its students and faculty, and Augsburg is fortunate in attracting both students and staff of the highest quality. D The blending of the old and the new, of course, has a special significance for Augsburg in this Centennial Year. Our Norwegian—Lutheran heritage has served us well, and there will be no attempt to make obsolete those beneficial influences for the sake of appearing secularly current. At the same time, Augsburg. in celebrating its past in a concrete display of affection and appreciation, moves along toward a deeper tradition of long standing commitment, one composed in part of a commitment to the future. The establishment of the City of Augsburg Room in the College Center sums up my feelings for the new year. The Old World and the New World will be forged together there in a rich and beautiful way, and that coming together of the ancient and the modem is what the college is continually striving to foster and perpetuate. El In the following pages Augsburg activity is described in more specific terms. The plans for the coming year and a recounting of our 1969 graduation with its two distinguished speakers; a history of Augsburg College and a new program in student development; the music of Brahms and Nystedt with the Minnesota Orchestra and the Augsburg Choir; the dedication of the City of Augsburg Room in the College Center, the Centennial Symposium, Homecoming . . .

Our alumni activity program provided more events for alumni this year, and the alumni attendance was greater. And, of course, Centennial programs did much to add special functions for our 100th anni— versary. We had more applicants for attending 3* Augsburg than ever before and more re- iy cruiting was done by alumni. A second us look shows us that we have more alumni r; children attending Augsburg than ever be- x’ fore, a fact which reflects faith in the college. Class representatives (45 in all) have taken on the responsibility of cre- ating better communication with fellow classmates. I was thrilled by the let- ters written prior to homecoming to you, and I feel that the response to these pi letters was reflected in the largest at- If: tendance we have ever had. ‘a\ State chairmen also provided special impetus to our year. They were instru- mental in attaining the goal of $105,000 in alumni giving, and without their spec- ial help we would have fallen short of our goal.
