Anne and Mindy both competed as all-around gymnasts. participating in vaulting. and doing routines on the uneven bars, the beam. and the floor. The normal number of participants for all—around is four. yet these two girls still scored over half the score of the other teams at every meet they were in. Unfortunately, injuries and illness plagued both Anne and Mindy during the season. but they will have much to look forward to next year. Coach Rivet said, "I'm hoping to build a good program here at Augsburg. and We been doing a lot of recruiting." Rivot explained that two girls will be coming in. one from Indiana and from St. Paul. along with two sophomores who didn‘t compete this year. but have previously. Anne, Mindy, and Coach Rivet put much time and effort into keeping the gymnastics program alive this year. and all of them are looking to the future. in hopes of establish- . ing another tradition of excellence in the Augsburg ath- letic department ii 5 PAGE 109 Top: Mindy Causton does her floor routine Center: Anne Torgerson on it: the uneven bars.

In 1963. he became the seventh president of Augsburg College. As a newcomer. he was a “freshman” and was seen wearing the traditional freshman beanie. When he became college president there were three directions he felt Augsburg had to take. First of all. the school had to adjust to its new role as a college of the American Lutheran Church (ALC). Secondly. Augsburg had to develop a closer relationship with the city, And thirdly. the college had to continue to pursue academic excellence, A decade later. he named two more obiec- tives as being crUCial to Augsburg‘s future: the need for both fiscal integrity and faCility development.

The third floor residents dealt with many problems. which thrust the dorm into the limelight throughout the year. Actually, problems began as early as spring of 1979 with the annual running of the housing lottery. The second floor was included in the lottery even though it had been designated as office space for the next year. A week after the lottery, students who had chosen sec- ond floor were told they would have to make other choices from the leftover housing spaces. In the fall, as residents moved into their rooms, they found a memo from the director of student housing. The memo warned that there would be no hot water for one week due to construction on campus. Residents were given the option to use Si Melby or Urness facilities. After one week of showers in Urness. security combinations were changed. and Memorial residents were left to depend on passerbys for entrance. Construction extended the initial one week to three weeks with no hot water. The continuing problems included a lack of secu- rity, heating, and weatherstripping. Residents also had to face the possibility of a mid-semester reloca- tion to a building across l-94 in order to facilitate construction. However, after the residents' strong opposition to the move, the administration reluc- tantly allowed them to stay. Lastly, the infamous Memorial fire exposed addi- tional problems. Upon discovering a small fire in the laundry room, a resident pulled several fire alarms. but none of them worked. Unknown to the residents, the alarm system had been disconnected for repair for at least a month. After local television coverage and a visit from the fire marshall, the alarm system was promptly fixed, and smoke detectors and fire doors were soon installed. Despite the housing problems, the 33 residents experienced the traditional sense of community. Memorial and its final residents will certainly be remembered. Show less
