Show moreAUGSBURG COLLEGE DEVELOPMENT NEWSLETTER by Kenneth P ngerlle, Vice Presudem for Development SHORT TERM TRUST CAN PRO- Mr. David Packard, founder and president VIDE INCOME FOR AUGSBURG of Hewlett-Packard, and most recently in the news as the Deputy Defense Secre- tary, has received much publicity recently on the disposi- tion of the shares of his company should his nomination be confirmed. Mr. Packard proposes to place his shares in trust with the income from such shares going to specific educational and charitable institutions. A short term trust has been used by many in the past whose primary motivation was to help an educa- tional institution. For example, Dr. Land, the founder of the Polaroid Corporation, recently transferred one and one- half million shares of Polaroid stock to a three-year trust for the benefit of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. These shares had a market value in excess of 160 million dollars at the time of the transfer. The estimated yearly income to M.I.T. will be about $480,000. At the end of the three-year period, the shares of stock will be returned to Dr. Land. One does not have to be a millionaire to contribute by means of a short term trust. Any interested donor who may want to help Augsburg can do so in a similar way by placing shares of stock in an irrevocable trust for at least a two-year period. During the term of the trust the income would go to Augsburg and would not be taxable to the donor. At the end of the trust term the shares of stock would be returned to the donor. For more information on giving by means of a short term trust, please contact the Development Of- fice. .2. Show less

Show more— ALUMNI APPEAL FOR DARKROOM EQUIPMENT The publications darkroom of Augs— burg College provides, as its name sug— gests, the photographic work needed by the Augsburgian, the Augsburg Echo, and some public relations publications. The problem of inadequate equipment is not new, but this year it is especial- ly acute. In past years, staff photogra- phers owned sufficient equipment to get along and inadequate budgets prevented the purchasing of very much in the way of cameras and lenses. This year the staff does not have enough equipment to operate since half the budget has already been allocated to supplies such as chemicals, film and paper. Augsburg's Student Soci- ety, which sets the budget, cannot pro- vide additional funds. Because of these factors, an appeal to the alumni for help is necessary. Your contributions will enable users of the darkroom to purchase the cameras and lenses which are needed to supply Centen— nial and other publications. This appeal to the alumni comes from two concerned students, photographer Dale Pederson and LaRhae Grindal, president of the Student Society. Your gift may be sent to the Alumni Office, but be sure to make a notation that it is designated for darkroom equip- ment. — AMENDMENT FOR ACTION A few years ago the Alumni Board of Directors was made up of six members. Because of increases in program and ac- tivities, it was felt that a larger num- ber of board members was essential, and through an appropriate amendment, the board was enlarged to twelve members. After much discussion and a look at what the alumni program of the future should undertake, the following amendment was formulated to be put up for approval at the Homecoming noon luncheon on Sat., Oct. 18: MOTION: It is moved that we enlarge the number of members on the Alumni Board of Directors from the present twelve mem- bers to twenty-one.

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.

Many lettermen have wondered how they might benefit from giv- ing to their alma mater; now some are re- alizing the end results with the comple- tion of this facility. Right now play in the handball court is continuous (even though we have not had the walls painted since the front wall is 2 3/4 inches thick and very slow to dry). Alumni, faculty and staff are enjoying handball, the sauna, and the special locker room providing personal lockers for equipment. A special dedication has been talked over, but nothing is yet finalized. At present the invitation to you is this: If you have time, come over to visit and see what has been accomplished. This project is just the second phase of the entire project which we hope to continue. This includes providing a dividing door between the south and center court, to give the girls a separate gym for gymnas- tics and other sports requiring apparatus which has not before had an assigned area.

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 Show less

Jeroy Carlson Director of Alumni Relations WHERE ARE WE? 0n the second floor of Memorial Hall, above the desk of the alumni direc— tor, there is a large world map made by the international students on the Augs- burg campus. Ribbons stretch from Minneapolis to show where our students have come from to the doors of the college. 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?

Mrs. MIMI KINGSLEY, Spanish teacher in Augsburg's Modern Language Department since 1947, died Jan. 10, 1969. Born in Pachucha, Mexico, she received the Bach— elor of Arts degree from Maryville Col- lege and a master's degree from the Un- iversity of Mexico. She was active in SPAN student exchange programs and the Classrooms Abroad Program in Spain. In 1965 she was with her husband in Chile on a University of Minnesota Ford Foun- dation Program. Aunt of folksinger Joan Baez, she participated in early educa- tional television in the Twin Cities area. Rev. GEORGE SOBERG was a professor of mathematics from 1926 to 1965. He served Augsburg as the representative in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, interpreting the high stand- ards and principles of the Augsburg Ath- letic Department to the group. A peppy, enthusiastic, humorous man, he served the last years of his life as a pastor for the Free Lutheran Congregations. He died Dec. 10, 1968. Mrs. GERTRUDE A. OPSETH was the wife of Augsburg's first Music Depart- ment chairman, and was a charter member and president of the Augsburg Women's Club.
