CHOIR TO TOUR NORTHWEST Upon my return from a three week trip to the Pacific Northwest relative to the Augsburg College Choir’s I950 Tour, I find our Music organizations busy as ever. After only one week of practice, it seems we have the material for the finest Choir and Choral Club ever to be developed at Augsburg. The blend is un- usually tops. I We are war/ting hard now to get a fine musical program in shape for our annual Homecoming Concert to be pre- sented at Trinity Lutheran Church Sun- day afternoon, Not'ember 6 at 3:00 p.m. Don’t forget! I am sure that everyone who attends this program- will agree with me that it will he the beginning of a fine year at Augsburg within the Music De- partment. Professor Opseth is back with the Choir! When we asked him how he felt after directing for the first time since his illness, he replied, "I feel like I just got out of jail!" With that spirit we can't lose. A special note to all you Choir alumni: you will be receiving a personal invitation to be present at our annual Choir lunch- eon to be held in the Augsburg Dining Hall Saturday, November 5, 1949 at 12:00 noon. They always say, "It's great to get together again.” Kenneth S. Sorenson Mgr. of Music Organizations NEW COURSES ADDED With the physical expansion at Augs— burg, excmplificd by the new Science and Administration Building, comes an increase in the courses offered on the curriculum. Dr. B. Kleven is teaching a new course, "American Political Thought.” New courses offered in Education in- clude High School Teaching, Guidance, and Methods. One of the changes this year will be in practice teaching—a stu- dent may now practice teach during either the first or second semester. For the benefit of the Freshmen, two new courses are offered in the field of Science. They are General Physics, first semester, and General Chemistry, second semester. NEW DEPARTMENT PUTS ACCENT ON HOME A Major in Home Economics at Augs- burg is now possible because of the mod~ ern facilities of the Home Economics De- partment located on the ground floor of the new Science Building. The north end of the department is a large room being used as a classroom for Art in Daily Living, Home Plan— ning and Furnishing, Color and Design, Child Care, Craft, and Art History and Appreciation. The small room adjoining the classroom is to be used as a craft workshop. The classroom is divided from the dining room by multifold doors. When these doors are open, the dining room becomes a part of the classroom. A small waiting room next to the dining room will be used by the guests of girls serv- ing dinners as part of their Foods Course. The large kitchen in the south end of the rooms will contain five kitchen units. Three of the units will have double- well sinks, one, a single-well sink, and one will have a dishwasher and garbage disposal unit. There will be both electric and gas stoves and refrigerators. Plans for the future include the installation of a laundry unit in one of the kitchens. TELEPHONE SERVICE EXTENDED Telephone service on the Augsburg campus is now centrally controlled at the new cord type switchboard located at the reception desk in the Science-Ad- ministration Building. Only the seventh of its kind installed in the Minneapolis area, it has approximately fifty exten- sions. They include telephones in the offices of Dr. B. M. Christensen, Dr. Nash, the Public Relations Department, Student Employment, Admissions Counselor, the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, the Campus Pastor, the Registrar, the Treas- urer, the Business Director, the Dining Hall, the Athletic Ofice, the ECHO, the AUGSBURGIAN, the Music Department, the Biology-Chemistry Department, and Miss Tangjerd, the librarian. Other ofices may be added later. An operator is on duty at the switch- board from 8:30 to 5:00 Monday through Friday, and 8:30 to 12:30 on Saturday. During the hours when an operator is not on duty, a few of the ofices will have outside lines. - Show less

During his years at Augsburg he was a member of the glee club and choir and was on the Echo staff. In addition. he participated in athletics. Following graduation. Norman entered the teach- ing profession as principal and coach at Odessa. Min- nesota. In i936 he accepted the superintendent's position at Cyrus, Minnesota, and worked in that community until 1940. That year he became super- intendent at New York Mills, Minnesota and re- mained in that position until i944 when he entered the U. S. Navy. After duty in the South Pacitic as a public relations and personnel otiicer. Norman re— turned to New York Mills and served as super- intendent until june. 1949. His work with the Alumni Association will be bringing him into contact with Alumni friends— old and new. Because of his experience in school ad- ministration, Norm will be devoting a portion of his time to student admissions. I am sure that all alumni are happy to have a man of Norman's organizational and administrative background in the new Alumni otlices, and will give him whole-hearted cooperation in all phases of the Work. so that the Alumni Asso- c.ation may make an increasingly effective contribu— tion to Christian education.

Dr. Bernhard Christensen The Homecoming Committee has chosen a strik- ingly appropriate motto for our 1949 Augsburg Homecoming. Step by step down the years we have been working together both on the Campus and beyond it, to achieve true progress in Christian edu- cation at Augsburg. This year as we welcome the Homecomers, they will surely see our "Progress Made Manifest” in the external aspects of building Augs- burg. The Science Hall stands complete, beautiful, inviting to study and teaching, inspiring in its mes- sage even to the casual passerby. It is our prayer and our endeavor that the inward intellectual and spirit- ual progress may be a worthy counterpart of the outward! Also in the Alumni work there has been steady progress down the years. We thank Rev. Anderson for his many years of devoted service and for the strong Christ-centered emphasis he has consistently given. We welcome Mr. Hanson into our midst, and extend good wishes to him as he carries on, even though with more limited time devoted directly to Alumni work. A warm “Welcome Home” to every returning Alumnus and friend! May your visit to the old-new Augsburg Campus bring you renewed inspiration to live and to serve in the true Augsburg spirit wherever you are.

He has faithfully performed his duties for the past ten years and is well known by all the grads of Augsburg. “Andy” states that he treasures his contacts and wants to continue them from behind the scene. The entirety of last year was spent by him in full-time service in the Alumni office, where much of his time was consumed in soliciting for the Fos-- se Memorial F u n d.

A glance at the varied vocations of some of last year's students reveals a wide geograph- ical separation as well. Of all the teachers John Almquist is probably tra- veling the farthest to his school—he will teach sci- ence in Nome, Alaska. Practically all the fields of teaching are repre- sented: Liz Falconer will teach English at Sauk Rap- ids; Butch Johnson is head coach at Dassel; George Dahl at New Ulm and Harold Dalland at Worthing- ton will teach mathematics; Esther Tungseth is com- mercial teacher at Milaca; Lyla Larson will teach science and music at Evansville and Carol Brekken will have science and physical education at Mora. (Incidentally, both Goertzens will be at Jackson—— Delna teaching English and Louis teaching math). Carol Johnson is going into state social service work. Don Peterson is with the Hardware Mutual Insurance Company. Leiv Kvamme will be studying medical technology at Tulane University while Lillian Ysteboe and Elea- nor Ose take the two-year med. tech. course at Dea- coness Hospital. Also at Deaconess, in nurses' train- ing, will be Beverly Nystuen, Carolyn Olson and Alice Peterson. and consecration for the building in which we are to work and teach and learn. Way up in the tower the prayer chapel is another quiet place—the one place that will remain quiet. The dark cross stands out against the lighter wood paneling around it, the light falls softly through the glass brick panel, the chapel is waiting . . . Looking Toward the New School Year (Continued from page i) As I write these words I am just leaving for a week of teaching at the Bible Camp at Lake Shetek. That suggests specifically how very many of our students and faculty have been active in various types of Christian work this summer. Yet in (he deeper, truer sense all the work of Christians is "Christian work.” May the activities of all of our Augsburg people, during both summer and winter, be worthy of this high name! Welcome back in September! —Bernb¢rrd Christensen Changes For Fall . . . The campus will be quite a different looking place this fall. Main has been getting a new paint job and there'll be some new ofices on first floor. The library has expanded into the space the chem labs used to have. It won't be long before Old Main will be just a hole in the ground (not even that for by September it'll be just another green spot to the Freshmen, a place of pleasant memories for upper classmen). There'll be new faces around the campus, too (be- sides those of the freshmen, that is!) Quite a number of additions have been made to the teaching staff. Rev. Paul G. Sonnack, an Auggie grad of ’42 (Seminary grad of ’45) will be back as instructor in religion and church history. He has been doing grad- uate work at the University of Chicago for the past two years on the George Sverdrup Graduate Fellow- ship. Mr. Irving Wallace is coming from the University to become assistant professor of business administra- tion. He is not exactly a stranger since he taught two summer sessions at Augsburg. Mr. Raymond Anderson, a U of M grad who has been teaching at the University of Vermont, will be an instructor in speech. Miss Margaret Klinner is the new instructor in home economics. A graduate of Stout Institute, she has been head of the home economics department in the Bemidji High School for the past two years. Mr. 0. Herbert Lindquist, instructor in physics and mathematics, graduated from Iowa State College at Ames. Another Auggie (class of '47), Mr. Henry Bert- ness will be the instructor in education. After a year of graduate work at the U of M he taught at Tacoma, Washington. Mr. John Hanson, Auggie grad of '48, will instruct in history and philosophy. Last year he did graduate work at the University. Mrs. Ruth Ziemann comes from Mankato High School to instruct in secretarial science. She is a Lu- ther College graduate. Miss Lois Fritz will be the instructor in physical education for women. A graduate of the University of Nebraska, she taught last year at St. Olaf. Four of last year's senior class members have also joined the staff—Paul Roth as assistant in chemistry; Merideth Foss, library assistant; James Bueide, assist- ant in public relations; and Kenneth Sorenson, man- ager of music organizations.

July [2, at the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees, a brief "Opening Service" was held in the Science Hall. thus ushering in the actual use of our new building. Some finishing touches still remain, on acmunt of the current strike, but these do not inter- fere with our be- ginning work there. All our hearts filled with grati- tude both to God and to thousands of friends of Augs— burg, that we can b e g i n t h e n e w school year in this wonderful setting! On August 1 the work of razing Old Main will begin. With its removal we shall really have completed the first major milestone in the transformation of our campus. In outward appearance it will be almost a different Augsburg that greets the returning students this fall. But the inner spirit and program remains the same, only strengthened for better service by quite a number of additional teachers. (A list of new faculty members is given on page 3). During the summer a host of workers, both reg- ular staff members and others, is being kept busy with activities connected with moving into the new building, and with the attendant adjustments and renovations in other places. Likewise committees, of both the faculty and the students, are planning the new year's program, curricular and extra-curricular. are DIt. Bumuxn CHRISTENSEN Under Mr. I’autz' direction a \igorous program of student recruitment is being carried on from the Public Relations Office. Rev. Anderson is pushing forward the Fosse Memorial drive. And far-reaching plans are being developed to complete the payment of the cost of Science Hall by next spring. In all this activity we are mindful that "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in \ain that build it." Our plans and efforts are of little avail if the Spirit of the Lord does not crown the year with His goodness. Let us all, therefore, wherever we are scattered, be united in spirit and prayer that God may grant us a new year filled with His blessings. I want to extend a special Word of welcome to the new students who will be enrolling this fall. \V'e are looking forward to your coming to Augsburg. and know that your matriculation in college will mean an exciting period of life for you. A warm Augsburg welcome to each one! (Continued on page \) l Hello And Welcome to Augsburg \Ve thought you might be interested in what's happening on the Augsburg campus this i summer. And, since the time to think about getting back to school is not too far distant, we wanted to say "Hello——and welcome." "\Velcome" to you new freshmen who are beginning your college life—we're happy to have you join us. "Welcome back" to you returning Auggies. And "always welcome" to the new alums and others who will not be coming back as stu- dents. Stop in anytime you're near the campus, we want to keep in touch with you. Show less

Show moreReady For Classes Dreaming? It almost seems that way now that we are really working in our new Science-Administra- tion Building. Actually, the dreams and plans are over—the building has become a reality. And what a wonderful reality it is! The administrative offices were moved first and are getting organized for registration in September. No more trotting all around the campus to find the people you need to see—the personnel offices are all together in the new building. Just past the reception desk (with its fascinating switchboard) and to the left are the Deans’ offices— Miss Mortensen and Mr. Dahlen—and Rev. Strom- men, campus pastor. Across the hall is the Public Re- lations Department where you’ll find the Student Employment and Alumni oflices. And right next door is Mr. Quanbeck, head of the Education De- partment and the Teacher Placement Bureau. The Registrar’s oflice and Treasurer’s office are in the central part of the main floor. Down the hall are Rev. Rogne, the Business Director; Dr. Nash, Dean of the College; and way at the end is the oflice of Dr. Christensen, the president. On second floor are the bacteriology, zoology and botany labs and up on third are the physics lab and three chem labs (analytical, organic and inorganic). a The usual comment of people being shown the home economics department is, "So much space!” And there is—with the textile room, the foods lab, the dining room, child care room and the little work- shop. The five model kitchen units might even at- tract some men into the department (there are no restrictions on enrollment, boys, if you want to learn howto whip up a chocolate cake!) There hasn’t been much activity in some of the spots in the new building—the rooms which the stu- dents furnished for the student council and the Echo (school paper) and Augsburgian (yearbook) have been rather quiet—but the staffs promise some top- notch publications when they start “creating” in the fall. Even without its furniture, the green plants along one end or the mailboxes, the student center has been initiated. About twenty teachers and administrators from colleges of the mid-west, members of the Workshop in Higher Education sponsored by the North Central Association at the University of Min- nesota, were guests at the first coffee hour. On July 12 the Board of Trustees and all of the staff and faculty members on campus at the time met in the student center late in the afternoon for a hymn, a bit of scripture and a prayer of thanksgiving "Wailing" for classes outside the new entrance to Augsburg College.
