Show moreFall Bold leaves of red and gold shout out, Cold tingling winds spinning them round and round. They laugh out loud in spirited dance Glorious in their dress of beauty. The people come out while the jig is on. Cheeks rosy, they crunch on juicy apples Kicking up their heels in delight. Slumber comes. People forget and when they awake Crushed underfoot lay a heap of brown ashes. and when tney awake uof brown ashes. Winter Snowflakes are falling softly Kissing each naked limb delicately. So new are they, so fresh. Whispering joy, they tell of many things, Of angels’ wings and Breathless laughter in times past, Of a Babe in a manger in times to come. Speaking of gentleness and of purity they Cover every harsh line with crystal whiteness. Spring Newness prevails, winter days forgotten. Yellow rays of sunshine warm Moist seeds that swell and struggle to Push out of the rich, dark soil, Each green shoot a blessing of innocence. Yielding fruits beneath blue skies Nature sighs, caressing life. All is harmonious in God’s grasp. Sing, O earth, for you are free!

Show moreHomecoming October 25-28 Surviving by Significance by Rachel Rohde Long live memories — homecoming queens, winning football teams, maroon pom pon mums, and tired feet! Augsburg’s homecoming revived the restless spirit of homecomings past and weaved ‘‘Surviving By Signifi- cance” back into the grain. Nostalgia permeated the weekend as once again alumni shared experiences and emotions with the protege on campus. The reign of nostalgia fused with the present as Dr. O. Lewis Zahrendt (’34), Gertrude Lund Hognander (’36), Hoyt C. Messerer (’39), Rev. Paul G. Sonnack (’42), and Dr. Ruth A. Schmidt (52) were honored for academic and social achievement in the community at the Honors Con- vocation. Young and old reflected on the humorous and comtemplative facets of college life back in the good old days. The honored expressed their gratitude for the op- portunities Augsburg College had given them and still provides today. Appropriately, the band opened the con- vocation with “Jubilant Overture’, setting a precedence for the entire weekend. The Augsburg band, choir, and choral club reitterated the theme ‘Surviving By Signifi- cance” with “Look To This Day’’, composed and directed by Dr. Sateren. The sports action began early on the schedule of events with a soccer game against Gustavus Adolphus. Against wind and cold, the Auggie soccer team handed over their first loss of the year, 1-0. Nevertheless, this new sport on the homecoming agenda fired an enthusiastic crowd on to the football game against Hamline. The annual variety talent show recalled those moments of youthful intuition when life was a crazy world of spon- Right: After receiving her award Mrs. Gertrude Hognander ex- presses her appreciation, as Gayle Baker, Bob Strommen, Brenda Roble, and honored alumnus Dr. O. Lewis Zahrendt look on. 16 taneity. Brad Wivell, alias Ed Sullivan, Hubert Humphrey, and others, hosted the show for the second time. Rob Engelson and his Mechanical Orchestra introduced un- suspecting newcomers to a fascinating instrument, the human body! Urness Tower RA’s furthered the study with an exercise on interpersonal communications. The moonlit nights with twinkling stars were not forgotten as other musicians expressed their emotions through songs of love and confusion. The magic of laughter and the sen- sitivity of the serene added a dimension to the weekend. Following the variety show, the Augsburg faculty dis- played their creative and innovative talents with an auc- tion. A French dinner, a quart of dill pickles, a plane ride, and a chili supper were just a few items offered for sale. The auction raised $700 for a student scholarship and in- creased awareness of student-teacher relationships. The street dance was moved to Si Melby due to the rain. “Zulu” reaffirmed the place of newness and joyous- ness in homecoming. The songs were long, the music throbbed. New faces merged with familiar faces: “I'd like to get to know you.” Saturday florished with education, fun, and romance. Special seminars on basketball, music, art, etc. were of- fered throughout the morning. Coffee hours brought together old names with new faces as alumni renewed their college friendships. Student enthusiasm helped push the Auggie football team to a victory over Hamline, 21-13. Augsburg surged ahead in the third quarter with Brian Berg’s field goal. The cold crowd warmed Parade Stadium with the stomping of feet and shouts of joy. The

Show moreintensity grew and climaxed with Osness’ touchdown catch. Indeed, winning the homecoming football game is like adding cheese to rigatoni! While the crowds were cheering and football players executing victorious plays at the stadium in St. Paul, there was a unique hustle bustle in the cafeteria back at Augs- burg. The help joyously created trays of watermelon, cantaloupe, relishes, lefse and many other delectable Norwegian goodies. The hungry fans were greeted with myriads of scrumptious foods and plenty of plates to put it on. Waiting in line for this royal spread was not disap- pointing! Smorgasbord time would not be complete without live music. The Carabet singers and Jeroy Carl- son’s quartet livened the atmosphere with their musical Strains. Jerry Maron’s ten piece orchestra band closed Satur- day’s activities. Alumni and students waltzed, two stepped, and polka’d for an evening of diversity from the new and usual. | Unifying the weekend, the Sunday morning worship brought to close another homecoming season. Dr. Ollila spoke on the educational value of surviving by signifi- cance, and the choir celebrated in song. The Augsburg community shared their common link in Christ with communion. Homecoming unified Augsburg students, graduates and faculty. Gone was the traditional homecoming queen, but she did not bury the traditional enthusiasm and spirit of the homecoming weekend. Homecoming 1973 has put us a step further towards a future of ‘’Surviv- ing By Significance’”’. Top: Dr. Donald Gustafson tries to raise a bid on a child’s sandbox at the faculty auction.

Between my chance meeting with Arndt and the first rehearsal, however, doubts flooded over me. | knew | couldn’t act; but hadn’t Mike assured me that | didn’t have to act? | only had to play myself, my part being that of a boring old pedant who misunderstands the play he teaches and obnoxiously intrudes wherever and whenev- er he isn’t wanted. I was typecast! So far, so good. Then | began to worry about how well the play would go over before a twentieth century, relevance-keyed au- dience. ‘‘Who,” | asked myself, ‘“on God’s Green Earth (read Augsburg College), would appreciate an eighteenth century comedy which satirizes conventions of the seven- teenth century theatre?” ‘Furthermore, where is Arndt going to find student actors talented enough to pull off eighteenth century acting mannerisms so necessary to the success of a play like THUMB?” And then how about Arndt himself, an unknown quantity. “If he gets the ac- tors, will he have them out there in torn T-shirts, A LA Stanley Kowalski, and ‘method’ the audience to death?” My worries were misplaced. | should have been wor- Above: Lord Grizzle (Jeff Nelson) and his comic servants, David Larson and Karsten Roduik, prepare for an attack.

The rehearsal schedule was crush- ing for a dissipated old futz like me. I’d always thought The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd (or something like that) was what The Theatah was all about. Not so. The theatre is a demanding mistress, especially so when the director wants more than aso-so production. Rehearsals lasted from seven to one, night after night. No Pheasant under Glass, just a Big Mac wolfed down back- stage during set changes. Then individual rehearsals to smooth out the rough edges, while the rest of the cast sleeps fitfully, dreams about tomorrows Biology exam — or that stack of sophomore term papers that haven’t been graded yet. I’m still not certain that | survived. Even if | haven’t, I’m proud to have been part of a suc- cessful theatrical production. After several rehearsals | cast my earlier worries aside. For Arndt understood the play and never did violence to it. Sure, there’s a scene with torn T-shirts, but many more scenes in which seventeenth, eighteenth, nine- teenth, and early twentieth century costumes provide a new dimension to the play. The actors? Aside from this humble recorder, they were masterful, running the stylistic gamut from Thomas Bet- terton through John Barrymore to Lee Strasburg’s latest chesthair-pulling prodigy. The audience did its share, too. We performed to full houses every night and even had to trod the boards for an extra show — the frosting on the cake. Rather stunned at first, the audiences soon caught on to the fun we were obviously having and joined in. What an intimate theatre! It’s so small that one can distinguish between which friend is laughing when. At the last performance, my knees stopped knocking when Richard Sargent let got with his first guffaw. Strokes in the night. No, I’m no actor, but | wouldn’t trade my experience working with Arndt and Company for anything — except, perhaps, a conversation with old Henry Fielding himself.
