Some of them: the beginning of Augs- burg’s tenth decade; the first student enrolled from among the people of Madagascar; the first Auggies traveling on SPAN assignments to Asia; the inaugu- ration of a new ‘Junior Year in Norway’ program; a new awareness that in very truth ‘the world is our campus.’ “In 1959, Augsburg, together with the other Christian colleges, is summoned to the service of ‘all men everywhere’ in the name and spirit of Christ! “Welcome, from far and near, to all alumni re- turning at Homecoming to share the vision, the enthusiasm and the sober challenge of being a member of a vital educational community in 1959!” This was President Christensen’s greeting in the 1959 Homecoming program. It continues to be ap- propriate for our alumni throughout the world. It was made meaningful by several who attended from foreign fields: Rev. Lester Dahlen, Hong Kong; Miss Naomi Melby, after two years of teaching in Hawaii; Rev. Lloyd Sand, Sudan, Africa; Rev. and Mrs. Robert lnee: Ethel Anderson) Anderson, Madagascar; Raymond Bolstad, Tanganyika; Rev. and Mrs. Ronald (nee: Anne Bueide) Zaudtke, Argentina.

Just as in planning the George Sverdrup Library, Melby Hall plans are based on an enrollment three times larger than at present. Exterior brick will match that used in the library, Science Hall and Gerda Mortensen Hall. Bleacher seats pull out from two sides of the main gymnasium floor, seating approximately 3,500 people. When pushed back, two additional activity floors become available. The total floor space can be ap- propriately adapted for chapel periods, creating a worship setting with porta- ble backdrops and furniture combined with special lighting. Conferences, conventions, banquets, convocations and such events as high school science fairs are among the many biiilding uses in addition to the physical education and intercollegiate athletic program. Facilities also include faculty offices, two general classrooms, locker rooms, two handball courts, plus a 50’ x 108’ space for a future swimming pool. This will be used with a dirt floor in the meantime for archery classes, track and baseball workouts. Interim facilities during construction will be a modern super market building on Riverside Ave. This building has been condemned by the state for new freeway construction. It will be equipped with showers and dressing rooms. Basketball games will continue to be played at Minneapolis Armory until Melby Hall is completed. _‘._‘-4- ._ a» .— t—gr—l- t» _ .

A major step toward groundbreaking for Augsburg’s new audito- rium-gymnasium has been announced by the Rev. Clifford Johnson. chairman of the Board of Trustees. Successive meetings during Homecoming of the Board of Trustees and the Augsburg Corporation approved the necessary legal resolutions enabling the college administration to complete final negotiations for financing construction. It is significant that this decision was made on the first anniversary of the Board’s announcement of a 20-year Mas- ter Plan for academic and campus de velopment. The auditorium-gymnasium will be the first building in the long-range ex- pansion of college facilities. It will be named in honor of “Si” Melby, Augs- burg teacher and coach who passed away in 194-4. Other buildings scheduled for con- struction during the first five-year phase of the development program include a student union and the first units of men’s and women’s dormitories. At its October 22nd meeting, the Board of Trustees also voted to call a special meeting for Nov. 23rd for the purpose of approving final plans, work- ing drawings, and specifications for Melby Hall. The Board took note of conditions yet to be resolved in order to meet an early 1960 target date for groundbreaking—conditions such as a firm c o m m i t m e n t on financing, the “tight” money situation in our current Final plans are being reviewed in the ofices o/ Lang and Raugland, pro- ject architect and engineering firm, by Burton F osse, Augsburg business manager; James Brunet, designer; Ed Hanson, job captain; and Ernie Anderson, athletic director and rep- resentative o/ the faculty and board building committee.

Pautz, chairman of the Development Committee, pointed out that the most significant assistance for early groundbreaking of the audi- torium-gymnasium would be the provi- sion by January “of as large a down payment as possible from Augsburg’s growing corps of friends, alumni and donors.” Mr. Pautz further explained that every dollar in gift support now would in- crease our assurance of financing as well as the reduction of long-range in- terest payments. Consequently, new gifts at this time, in addition to accelerated pledge payments. will be particularly beneficial. Meanwhile, the Board is continuing its concerted effort to hasten the ground- breaking date for a building so urgently needed, not only for physical education and intercollegiate athletics but chapel services, convocations and community and church events.

Welcome to work and worry, study and worry, pleasure and worry, but worry, especially worry. What do we mean by worry? Isn’t college life supposed to be one of the most carefree periods of life? These questions can be answered by what we intend when we use the term “worry.” We define worry two ways. First is the implication of fingernail chewing, prematurely gray hair, and nervous breakdown. This kind of worry can he obtained by putting off until tomorrow what you can do today. The other thought that comes to mind when the term “worry” is mentioned is the concern a student or person shows when he is trying to perform a specific task to the utmost of his ability. It is this worry that is quite honorable and desirable. Governor Freeman recently stated that it would be the caliber of educational institutions and students that would determine the direction that the cold war takes. We are also of this opinion. A little worry in the 'form of concern for the type of work and study that you the student turns out now is important for the future. PS. Have fun. Initiation Brings Need for Restraint Tomorrow's first rays of dawn will mark the opening of another hunting season~this one on freshmen. Because there appears to be an abundance of “game” this year (readily identified by circular grecn plumage) indications are that upper-class nimrods will have no trouble in bagging their legal limit. As far as we know, this can amount to no more than the 400—plus registered frosh. Traditionally, initiation ceremonies probably date as far back as ,the first rites of graduation, and were originally intended to he informal inductions into a new social organization or culture. However, the other-directed, togetherness—minded Athenian who thought up the brilliant scheme probably never dreamed of the inno- vations which have evolved. There are, no doubt, certain therapeutic values to be found in group humiliation 'and suffering. And, we are reasonably sure mem- bers of the Soviet Union‘s MVD could pick up a few pointers from the knowledgeable upper-classmen. However, we are certain the therapy and instruction involved are no match for the risks presented by the continuance of initiation in off-campus locations. The granting of an official period of initiation does not authorize a certif' ' for ‘ of a , shuttle bus to lesser developed Twin Cities‘ areas. Neither is it permission for assorted physical harrassments. We view freshmman hazing as an institution as firmly entrenched as registration. The transition from high school to college would seem relatively dull without it. We do, however, urge reasonable restraint in its administration. Yearly Ritual Gives Taste of Gloom about from middle aged faculty members. We too know how it feels to have an entire savings wiped out by the stroke of a pen as the treasurer's door closed be- hind us and the money we had slaved for was locked within. The smiled “thank you” meant little to us then. As we students walked away we knew how it felt to be on relief — if only it be the relief from having lived through an- By Helen Bergan Students during registration this fall got a glimpse of several aspects of life. Little did they know as they passed the various stations that they were going through procedures not unlike the police line-ups, army indoc- trination and the depression soup-lines. Unknowingly to the student— cspccially the new student— as he passed each station he was mentally analyzed not only as to \vcight and color of hair, but also to percentile ratings and criminalistic tendencies such as disorderly conduct, inability to blow up balloons, and forgery. One student was charged with signing her roommate‘s name to all class cards for difficult courses she was taking, Augsburg students. again this year, can sense the real tragedy of depression, such as we hear other “treasured” experience again this semester. Relief of a different sort came over us as we realized that in future soup line meal books would miraculously take the place of money. Registration will continue to be an experience just barely tol- erated but which must be worth it in the total scheme of college life. The amazing thing is that students will year after year save money to live again that de- pressed feeling. ll manure-.19 misuse Letter to the Editor: I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere apprecia- tion to all the student assistants who helped with registration on September 14 and 15.

Contrary to Time magazine, I found the movie delightful. Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas and Sir Law- rence Olivier star in the movie version of George Bernard Shaw‘s play about the war between the colonies and Great Britain. Kirk Douglas is the leering, jeering ne‘er»do~well son of an unfortu- (father and uncle were hanged as rebels to “impress” the local popula- nate colonial famin tion.) Douglas comes into contact with Burt Lan- caster, the pence~loving minister, and the result is hilarious Douglas hates ministers—“they feed Scuff-Marks By Dorothy Larson you and give you a sermon"—but he is quite willing to impersonate the minister (who is to be hanged as another “loaal” example.) The minister, in an attempt to clear Douglas. discovers the glories of war and in a reversal of roles, discards the cloth to become the captain of the local militia. The scene in which Lancaster discovers the peaceful road is not the only 10ml borders, if not settles on the slap—stick. Sir Iawrvence Olivier plays a very "proper" General Burgoyne with a dry wit which is delight- ful. With a ntnnber of intestine innovations, the production is skillfully directed.

Enrollment Pushes New Mark The seminary has a total of 2'7 students: 1" juniors. 9 middlers, Augsburg enrollmcnt figures have llltltth'ed is per cent over Fifty college brothers and sisters, as well as dorm counselors, special events chairmen, faculty, and administration did their part to make the new Auggies feel welcome, adjusted, and fatigued. Credit for this goes to Bob Jacobson and Joanne Brude, chairmen of the college brother and sister program and to Judy Lerstad and Marilyn Larson, chairmen of Welcome Week. Welcome week tradition was upheld in the an nual tea for parents, sponsored by the associated women students, Wednesday afternoon and eve- ning; the President’s lecture on the “Academic Quest;" and the square dance welcome party on Thursday night. Some variations sparked this year’s program in- cluding a banquet at the Lutheran Brotherhood building. A program featuring first class Augsburg talent was presented in the Lutheran Brotherhood auditorium after the meal. The program of music and drama by students and alumni was emceed by Mr. Mark Johnson of the admissions depart- ment. Another former Auggie doing his share for Wel- come Week was Paul Almquist, last year's student society president, who gave the Monday morning lecture on college life from the student‘s view- point. The Saturday camp St. Croix outing, though primarily devoted to recuperating from tests, was also the scene of a special session for introducing freshmen to student government at Augsburg. Mr. Martin Sabo made the opening remarks, after which group leaders assisted him with discussions and answering questions. Sunday afternoon the faculty homes were opened to the new Class of Auggies. Through the cooperation of the college brothers and sisters and the faculty, more freshmen were able to at— tend these gatherings this year. Sunday evening a supper was served to the freshmen prior to the evening service at Trinity church. The service was led by Ken Nelson, com< missioner of religious life. Chaplain Quanbeck spoke on the Christian life in the college com- munity. For those who were still in the running, Monday night was devoted to an excursion with members of the college brother and sister group. Activities ranged from movies and picnics to miniature golf. To those new students who survived registra- tion, our congratulations. You are qualified to be an Auggie. Yearbook Names Editor Editors for the 1960 "Augsburgian" were an- nounced this week by Board of Publications chair- man, George Larson.

FROM THE BEGINNING to the end of college days there are endless lines in which to stand and hours seemingly wasted. Then there are innumer- able forms to be filled out, time and time again.

Mentioned in “Who's Who In America,” he has made a num- ber of trips abroad in the capa- city of roving foreign corres- pondent. Among others, he has completed assignments in Fin- land, Iran, Japan, and the Far East. He recently returned from 10,- 000 miles of travel in the Soviet Union. He was one of the first Americans to get to the Baikal area of Siberia on the Mongolian frontier, and he originated broad< casts from areas never before used as points of origination.

Two of man’s most basic needs are: (1) a great purpose to live for, and (2) a sense of belonging to a group working together to realize this purpose. Augsburg has always had a great and inspiring purpose. What finer, higher aim could there be than the education of youth for service to God and their fellow men? And now, during the past year, through our enlarged Development Program. there has been quickened in many hundreds of hearts a new "sense of belonging," of enthusiastic participation in Augsburg’s cause, expressing itself in a new surge of generous giving. I want to congratulate all who have helped bring about this outstanding achievement: the Devel- opment staff, the Board of Trustees, the officers. leaders and congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. the faculty and the students. and thousands of alumni and other friends. Many of their names are listed in this folder; but all that they have given and done can never be fully recorded. It has become a part of Augsburg’s ongoing life. We are deeply grateful. to both God and men. for the new doors to growth and service opened by the Development Program during its first year of full activity.

How- ever. the Pipers came back to score three more runs before the game was over, so that the two Auggie runs did not overcome the lead. There is still an outside chance for the MIAC title providing that St. Mary's loses to St. Thomas and that the Auggies can defeat the Marians on Saturday. Diamondmen Face Game For 'Possible With the fever of a baseball championship burning in the mind of every Augsburg student, the possibility of the deciding game coming up on Saturday grows nearer and nearer. So far CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF '59 V the ECHO 'I'IIE AUGSIUIG ECHO Pogochen Six Wins Give Augs Tifle Bid - by Dick Berge After winning six straight games following the defeat by St. Mary’s, the Auggie baseball team has only three games remaining in their bid for an MIAC baseball championship. This m e a n s that the Augs have won 11 of their 12 games this season, scoring 101 runs for an average of 8.4 runs per game as compared to the op— ponents 31 runs. In the first night game at Pa- rade Stadium on May 8, the Aug- gies took on the Scots for the second time this season. Starting slow, the diamondmen got up steam and blasted three Macales— ter pitchers from the box. Larry Junkermeier capped the defeat with a two run homer in the eighth, bringing the score to 13-2. Playing St. Thomas, also in the second round, Dennis Kalpin took the mound and picked up his third victory. He gave up only one run in the top of the ninth on a sacrifice fly. The Auggie bats boomed and pushed across seven runs making the final score 7-1. St. John’s invaded the Auggie lair next in the third game under the lights. This was a replay of a game that was earlier rained out, There was no scoring on either side through the first four and a half innings of play. Then Dale Thorson belted a triple to deep center field. Chuck Fering came up next and followed it up with a double be- tween left and center fields. The extremely cool weather for early May brought about stiff fingers Redmen In last Championship St. Mary’s has lost only one game and that was to St. Thomas in their first meeting. Augsburg has also lost one game and that was to St. Mary’s 5-0 in Winona. The game has been scheduled for Parade Stadium at 8 p.m. This means the game will be played under the lights. There is a possibility that this may be changed to Saturday afternoon at Northeast Athletic field because St. Mary's has not played under the lights and would therefore be at a “disadvantage.” The importance for a large turnout of fans to support the team cannot be stressed enough. To pitchers, hitters, and fielders, there is nothing like the sound of fans c h e e r i n g and supporting them to the hilt. It gives the player the feeling that he will really enjoy putting out a little extra effort in his try for the win. It makes all the prac- tice, t r a i n i n g, and road trips worthwhile. There is a very good possibility that Wisniewski will be on the mound for the Redmen since be shut out the Auggies in their last game. If he does not pitch then Dave Thies will probably be the starter. resulting in quite a number of errors for the Johnnies. The alert Auggies capitalized on the errors and tallied 10 runs while holding St. John‘s scoreless. After playing three night games, the baseballers journeyed to St. Cloud last Friday. Coach Nelson started the second string» ers. Down 30 in the ninth with two strikes on the batter, the Augs came back to tie the score on a hit and St. Cloud error. Then in the tenth the Augs came up with two more runs to win the game 53. Saturday afternoon and a warm sun greeted the invading Gusties 1 Sfand Up! That is the signal given Dale Thorson by Pete Locke as they came to Northeast Athletic field for a doubleheader. Dennis Kalpin started the first game and after giving up two hits in the sixth was relieved by Shelley Johnson. Shelley struck out five of the remaining nine men and gave the Augs a 2—1 win Frank Hawks moved to the mound in the sec- ond game and after giving up a two run homcrun in the second, carefully \x' o r k e d each hitter striking out several. Expert fielding by Schueler and Locke hold the Gustics to only those two runs. Larry Junk— crmcier Came up \\‘lll’l five RBI’S to lead both team‘ as he croxes home plate in the second win over Gustavus. Dale belted a triple which set him up for scoring. Senior BasebaIIers Graduate Four seniors highlight this year’s baseball squad, and all four of them are on the regular start- ing lineup. In centerfield, Chuck Fering, 24 year old physical edu- cation major, hauls in the long balls. Starring in both football and baseball Chuck h a s s i g n e d a teaching contract at Kerkhoven. So far this year he has one home- run and four doubles. One of his main assets on the squad is his ability as a baserunner. His speed and agility have given him seven stolen bases. Frank Hawks, the 26 year old married captain and physical ed- ucation major, plans to play ama- teur baseball for Cannon Falls this summer before starting his teaching assignment. Frank played for Wilknar high school . .

Behind the plate, Larry Junk- ermeier has performed the job of a 200 pounder. Larry has quarter- backed the football team, taken second in the state wrestling meet two years in a row, and per- formed in both track and baseball during the spring in the past years. He was the recipient of this year‘s honor athlete award. Dale Thorson, the last senior on the squad, comes from Willmar. Dale is also in education and plans on teaching next year. He holds down the first base slot quite well, being able to really stretch and cover a lot of ground with his six foot three inch frame. Dale also uses his height to ad- vantage at an end position on the grid squad. So far this year he is the leading scorer for the dia- mond team, crossing the plate 15 times.

Show morePage Eight Pride In Augsburg Looking back over the past four years, we are filled with a sense of pride. A sense of pride because we have taken great strides forward even though at times it has meant forsaking of qualities we had considered clear. We have seen a great step forward in the development of the Augsburg physical plant. Our class was the first freshman class to use the new George Sverdrup library. Later during that year we saw the dedication and first use of the women's residence, Gerda Mor- tenson hall. The first year of “Forward Phase“ has just begun and we are well aware of the amount of work that has already been done in preparation for the building program. Academically the college has also taken strides forward. These are harder to point out. but we have seen the introductions of the ph}, ' major and the psychology minor. Many Courses. designed to broaden tho prcscnt curriculum. have also been added. An institutional study has also bccn introduced and is well on the way to improving the school. This should fill us with pride for our alma mater. but. somehow we ncctl something more. There must be something Within us which inakr-s us want to have pride in our school. We have received an edu- (zition, ill" more important, we have received an outlook on life. an outlook which will influence us for the rest of our lives. Our training, our iiici~tiiig<. our hull H'Sslnlls, all have added to making a new man of (he giivi-n freshman who cntcred the Campus four years ago.

But the biggest reason for having a prirlv in our hool is that she is now part of us. There is no mold for an Augsburg graduate to fit into. and we believe there will ncvcr be one. In cilucating man the important thing is to educate so that the inzui is aware of the life that he 15 living. 00 You Think? Think! Think! Think! The ability to do this is a special task allot» ted only to the species known as human beings. This statement will probably bring down the wrath of every psychologist that reads it. llowcvcr, the ability to think as man does is probably his great- cst asset. For this ability can help us do anything we really want to do. It can take a problem, analyze it, come up with several solutions, and choose the best of all the possible solutions thereby satisfying our desires and needs. Yet, with the possession of this great gift, the owners still tend to abuse it and not use it to its fullest capacities. Many people act without thinking or act before thinking, then realizing they have made a mistake, shift into reverse, only making a bad situation worse, Reactions without thinking are fine for such things as braking a car, hunting pheasants, running through a forward wall of a foot- liiill line and such, but thcsc reactions are not much good where thor- ough analysis and clcar, complete solutions are required. If the ability to think in a logical, methodical way could be devel— opcd in all thinking or supposedly thinking people, then many of our prosentxlay world social, economic and political problems might be solved. llowcvcr. this is quite unlikely since the ability to think also gives the mini free rind independent choice. And by man's nature it is not too probable that he will submit to doing something that is always logical and clear. THE AUGSIUIG ECHO hunky. May 21, I959 Outstanding Woman Spreads Personality by Pat Beane “She possesses a keen intelli- gence, a ready wit, and a quick sense of values. She is the con- stant friend of fellow students, the disciple and apostle of all things just and true, honest, love- ly and of good report," r "One moment please" The few students at Augsburg who had not previously known Pat Eldridge were thus in tr 0 ‘ duced to her at the honor convo- cation by Miss Mortensen. Pat was selected as the outstanding woman student at Augsburg by the woman students and a faculty Pat Eldridge has used this phrase many times during her job as switchboard operator in the women's dorm. committee. The choice was based upon achievement, leadership. and personality. Pat. is senior from Shnfu. Min- nesota, has attended Augsburg for four years. Her major field of study is sociology; her minor is history, One of her many contri- butions to Augsburg has been her position as president of the wom- en's dormitory council this loll year. This position Pat feels MI taught her much and she insists that “1' would do it over again if i had the opportuniw." Many of the women in the dub mitory have gotten acquainted with Pat as she carried out the duties of this position. and milk that the words used in the convo- cation to describe Pat were fit- ting. . Pat. as snlutatoriln of her [rud- uating class. gave the cap and gown day address. The title wu. “Stand as tall as you can and then stretch." “I'm going to try and relate some of the potential that the Augsburg society has as u Chris- tian group." The potential that one has. Pat believes, can be usai best by sharing. “One of the biggest things I've learned is that our most valuable possessions are those that grow when they are shared, and our least are those that diminish when they are divided." This philosophy of sharing is evident in the contributions Pat has made to Augsburg. After graduation, Pat hopes to enroll in the University of Min- nesota school of social work and then work in an agency with I Christian emphasis. 38 Years Since Mrs. Walden Was a Freshman. Augsburg's first woman stu- dent will be graduating this year —complete in cap, gown, and '59 Auggie class ring after a student session which began in 1921. Since that time Mrs, Klara Walden has spent only one full year in college and has squeezed the other cred- its in between an active life of serVice and raising a family. During her one full year at Augsburg Mrs. Walden was one of five woman students enrolled. She had planned to go to St. Olaf but because the dormitory was filled there, she applied at Augs- burg and received the first letter of acceptance ever sent to a worm an from the college. That began her college career Summer Jobs Allow Students to Abuse Education With this in mind, perhaps a brief guide of suitable summer jobs for various majors is in ordcr. by Helen Bergnn Nine months of concentrated study a year may be necessary for graduation, but it is without a doubt that the practical exporh once of the summer is most im- portant in prcpai'ing the educated student to face the wide world.

Augs- burg with its almost entirely male population was vastly different from Mrs. Walden's pr e v i 0 us schooling where she had been with woman students at Oak Grove high school in Fargo (be» fore they admitted boys) and at nurse‘s training. MRS. WALDEN described Augsburg in 1921 as being “like a big family" and thinks it is still that way because it has main- tained a spiritual emphasis which is the most important contribu- tion a college can make at the present time. At the age of 64 when most people are thinking of retiring. Mrs. Walden is instead thinking of the opportunities open to col< lege graduates and planning a trip to Norway “sometime in the future" as a future goal. Her education was, to her, just “one more goal attained. It was something I set out to do.” For the last six years Mrs. Walden has worked at the Be- thesda nursing home in Willmar as superVisor of nursing person- nel. Through the willingness of the board of the home she has been able to commute to Minne- 3Ae &£0 ALL-AMERICAN, 195959 apolis several days a week fa classes.

Walden was offered the position as school nurse at Luther College, but turned it down because it was too far from Augsburg, and she did not want to change schools In close to graduation. She will con- tinue with her work in Willmer after graduation. Mrs. Walden isn't too excited about graduation — instead she said, "I was more excited when my husband graduated from Augsburg and Luther seminary and when my children graduated from college than I am now my- self." Then she quickly added, "My children are all coming to see me graduate." WITH A RELIGION major and a sociology minor, Mrs. Walden has enjoyed studying throughout these years. In fact, she plans to continue studying, but only for self interest. “1 have enjoyed my stay here." stated the gray-haired co—ed in a pleasant talkative manner, "it hu helped me have a younger out- look on life. That is important for me in my type of work at the Bethesda home. The contact with students gives me a youthful nt- titude." ram—Judyflahmfldn Mimwmmm WM um: nunq. m———————-—-——- - I...“ .mmmcmmuuy— ” manna-Impala; Wiper-m Show less
