Each class is made up of college students. residents of the institution. and staff members of the institution. all taking the courses for college credit. Qualified prison inmates and mental hospital residents function as course assistants. and all participants are encouraged to take responsibility for class enrichment. Wayne Paulson. assistant professor of sociology at Augsburg. is director of the CHR office. He says. “The program is so designed that benefits accrue to all individuals and institutions involved as well as to society in general. The college students are able to learn about a myriad of issues in a way that is not possible in the typical classroom." As for institutional residents. the program facilitates their re~entry into the community. and the fondest hope of the program is to engage them in the beginnings of an alternative career through the educational system. “Institutional staff." according to Paulson. “benefit from the contact as well. and find their occupational capabilities enhanced both through increased knowledge and structured job ad- vancement programs." Besides Appleby. four other Augsburg faculty members are teaching courses this year. John Mosand of the art department is teaching music at Anoka. From the English department. John Mitchell teaches poetry. Richard Sargent. drama. and David Wood. the novel. all at Shakopee. On Jan. 20. 1971. the second benefit program for CH9 will be held at the college. The program- workshop session is headed by students Nancy Sylte and Emmett Smith. The public is urged to attend. and all proceeds will be used to further this program at Augsburg. On Jan. 31. 1971. ABC-TV will broadcast a segment of the Stillwater experience filmed in the spring of 1970 as part of its "Directions" program. KMSP. the ABC affiliate in the Twin Cities. however. may pre-empt the series with alternate programming. Minneapolis-St. Paul area residents who would like to see the show are urged to write or phone KMSP to make their views known. During Augsburg's 1969-70 school year 10 courses were taught at Stillwater and Shakopee prisons and Anoka and Hastings mental hospitals. Completing the courses were 114 Augsburg students. 88 inmates and residents. and 26 staff members. for a total of 228 students It is hoped that this number Will be increased yearly as the program continues to grow “The co-learning classes are an effort on the part of a private Institution to examine. experi- ment with. and put in force the impact it can have on society." Paulson says. “We believe this project can be of the utmost significance to all partiCIpants in achievmg a broader understanding of interpersonal relation- ships. it is Augsburg‘s hope to fully integrate the program into its curriculum once the program's educational and tinancial Viability has been established " Show less

Glencoe Minn tail .15 many sludrrnls hnforr' them havr‘ done 7 on the mer dishes Mr Cummvns enrollment figure is established. It becomes operative only with final board approval. Accord- ing to Cuplin. “The board of regents has been a strong factor in keeping us within our limitations and realistic in our expenditures." This system is the product of Cuplin‘s plan to bring college operations up to date. "Technology has developed in the field of education," he says, "but education was one of the last to get on the bandwagon wrth computers." He attributes this to the fact that since colleges are not profit—making organizations, they have not had the profit incentive of big busmess to speed operations "Today we're thinking about cost per credit hour produced." he says. "We‘re trying to evaluate Our output to project changes 5,10, 15 years from now." in addition. he feels that in the future Augsburg WI” be able to tell the cost of operating a certain program before it is made a partofthe curriculum. This forecasting should do two things: first. it WI” improve management techniques. and second. by usmg technology classes for pro- gramming at Augsburg, provide vocational training which students can use after graduation. While adapting to new technology. Cuplin says his office has had to consider the “sticktoative- ness" attitude of the financial operation. "Whenever there is change." he says. “there's opposmon. so we had to be careful to educate people to the fact it could be done. others were domg it. and that it was about time we changed." The National Defense Student Loans account was transferred to a Chicago bank for com- puterization when federal funds for that purpose became available. This released Augsburg‘s staff and allowed more time for processmg other college busmess. in another time and manpower saving effort, the college payroll operation was turned over to a Minneapolis bank. Under the new system. employees of the college may have their earnings credited directly to their personal checking accounts at that bank Leanne Phinney. Wood Lelie. Minn , I" lhe' Knotty Niche " In the future the college is looking forward to programming its finanCial information into the computer at Fairview Hospital. and in time. perhaps program development and fund-raising information as well. Fairvrew is close to Augsburg and its faculties are readily accessrble. The hospital is con- tinuously expanding its capacity by replacrng present equipment with more advanced com- puter eduipment. Eventually it is hoped that Augsburg computer scrence classes will also be able to hook up to Fairview‘s system. Warren Cuplin finds his work challenging and interesting. The changes he has instituted at Augsburg are evidence of his ability to lead people and to make necessary changes to keep financial business running swiftly and accurately. 'Working with people can be both rewarding and frustrating," he says.

Show moreSize: While freshman enrollments have increased about 10% in the last decade. enrollment at Augsburg has nearly doubled because of improved retention. Geographic Distribution: “We‘re well received by the people who know us best." says Johnson of the continuing trend of 88% of the students coming from Minnesota. Male-Female Ratio: in 1957, there were two men for every woman on the Auggie campus. The class of 1970 has 188 men and 220 women. Campus Residence: The number of students living on or near the campus has risen to the present level of about 2/3 of the student body. “We've got the greatest housing flexibility a student could want." says Johnson. “He can choose a dormitory. an Augsburg cottage housing. or nearby housing. For the total development of the student. we suggest that the student spend as great a part of his college years living on campus as possible." Religious Affiliation: Augsburg. while proud of its affiliation with the Lutheran church, is happy to welcome an expanding variety of faiths to broaden the educational atmosphere at the college. Thus. 73% of the students today are Lutheran while in 1960 the percentage was 77%. The development of the Augsburg campus during the last decade has helped attract stu- dents. The presence of the College Center. tower dorm. Si Melby Hall and other new build- ings complements the academic program and metropolitan location. The question of tuition level must be met by Johnson and the other admissions counselors. Tuition increases are likely to continue for both state and private colleges. according to Johnson. In past years. Augsburg, like other colleges. has been forced to raise tuition because of increasing costs of college supplies. salaries. equipment purchases and the general pressure of inflation. Johnson was happy to note that the Augsburg Board of Regents has voted not to increase tuition for the 1971-72 year. "We're trying to hold the line to help students." noted Johnson. "This will likely mean economy measures for us. We feel it more important to narrow the gap between the public and private institutions." Johnson also pointed to the increasing program of financial aid at Augsburg. “In 1960. 538.170 was given to 384 students—an average award of about $100. Last year $519,270 in financial aid was given to 911 students at Augsburg. The awards averaged $570. These figures do not include loans or work opportunities also pro- vided by Augsburg. How can alumni and friends help the admissmns office? “We need people to lay the ground- work." says Johnson. "Augsburg is a great school and will be chosen by more students when they know about our program. Alumni can recommend Augsburg to their sons and daughters as well as those of their friends and neighbors. Share the story that is Augsburg. Augsburg has grown In the last ten years — both in size and in quality.

Minn . and Ari Engen It has almost become a great American tradition on campuses across the country for the college busmess office to become the target of greatest criticism among students. Even after the frustrations of all-night study sessions. long registration lines. and missing books from the library have passed from the memories of loyal alums. they long remember With almost paranorac clarity “the injustices“ heaped on them by the business office: confused identity. incorrect statements of charges. loan-fund record bungling. mismanaged maintenance. computer ‘ contusron. nasty notes. and long. long waits. While Augsburg College may have been guilty of these things in the past. changes in recent years have updated the business dealings of Augsburg to make it a smooth running. effective. yes. even a friendly operation. The chain of command in the college's business affairs lollows these lines: board of regents; president of the college; vice president for business affairs who is directly responsible for budget preparation. non-teaching personnel and insurance. in 1968 Warren 0. Cuplin. now vice president for business affairs. came to Augsburg College as business manager. Born in Rockford. Ill. Cuplin earned the BS. degree at the University at lllinois. and the MS. degree at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. While studying there he was also employed as a procedures analyst and earlier served as controller at Rockford College. Rockford. ill. He came to Augsburg lrom Lake Michigan College. Benton Harbor. Mlch.. where he was business manager. Under Cuplin there are srx operations: (1) the controller (Wayne Pederson) responsible for payroll. cashier. National Defense Student Loans (NDSL). and accounts payable (2) food service director (Carl Stromer) responsible for dining hall. snack bar and vending (3) college center director (Douglas Wasko) responsible for the bookstore. campus events. recreation room and post otfice (4) housing director (James Lancaster) responsible tor college housing and works as purchasing agent for Augsburg (5) director of data processing (David Pederson) and (6) plant services director (Eugene Ecklund) responsible for buildings and grounds maintenance. engi- neering and custodial work. security. receiving and stores. printing and mailing. and the campus switchboard. “l wasconcemad whanlflrstcamabwi' 3' Cuplin says.

Show moreperson—not success. not status. not material goods. not national pride. but warm and meaningful human relationships. It is painfully aware oi society's cruel cut down of the ulinoritiee. the poor. the foreigner. the ideo— logically divergent. Hence. because education has too oiten been directed toward those very ends which now appear to the young to be secondary or even immoral. there is a suspicion that educational institutions are merely instru- ments of the status quo and are not basically humanistic aiter all because they seem to care so little about people. This new consciousness has so sharpened their conscience as to put college youth on the right side oi such issues as pollution. civil rights. world peace. poverty and democratic government. Anyone who has experienced campus life during the past four or five years will attest to this new consciousness. which should not be equated with the actions oi a very small. disruptive minority. Concomitantly. new lite styles have arisen among college age young people. Variations in hair styling. dress and music for the most part are surface indications of a desire to be genuine. individualistic and unstuck from the pressures at a coniormist society. The increased number and sensibility oi minority students tend to produce a more heterogenous campus life. The pluralism of the student body now racially. religiously and ethnically and economically mere mixed. creates cross currents in the social and cultural life. People who are accustomed to one kind oi life style or another are intimidated by all this variation and experimentation. Perhaps. most oi all. a new set at values appears to be emerging among college youth, well described by Dr. Paul Nash at Boston University in a recent issue oi the "Boston University Journal." Under ten points, he delineates the change from the values oi puritanism to the values of enjoyment: change from the value of sell-righteousness to the value oi openness; change from the value oi violence to the value oi creativity; change from the value oi politeness to the value oi honesty; change from the value of bureaucratic eiiiciency to the value of the reiinement of human relationships; change from the value oi “objective truth" to the value oi personal knowledge: change from the value oi ideology to the values oi existential decision making and action: change from the value of authority to the value of participation: change from the value oi educational ritual to the value of educational relevance: change from the value of tradition to the value oi change. When I draw a line down the middle of this description with the values on one Side stacked against the values oi the other. as a Christian educator l have to take my stand on the Side oi the new rather than the old. recognizing full well that not all is bad and not all is good on either side of the line. However. il this analysis is at all correct. then there can be no question about where the Christian position is. Having injected the word Christian at this point. the question must now be raised regarding a church-related college and its relationship to this new scene. Personally. I see a remarkable similarity between what this generation of college students in the main is seeking and the message oi the New Testament. There are marked overtones in what this generation says and does which resonate with what Jesus taught and sought. At the same time. the classic unwillingness oi man to coniront the stern tact of his self-centeredness and destructive capa- bilities is painfully eVident in the new scene. There is a naivete among students which comes close to thinking that wishing will make it so— that singing will banish sin —that holding hands will change the world—that induced euphoria IS genuine happiness. At that. such naivete is much closer to “becoming like little children" than the stubborn hypocrisy oi the older generation whose iirst value often seems to be a determined preservation of “our way oi liie.” Thus. as never beiore. a college. and particularly a college in the Christian tradition, must welcome the new scene as a grand opportunity to Side wholeheartedly With the new idealism. at the same time painting to the perSISlent and tragic reality oi human perversny which can only be overcome by the greater reality 01 God's iorgivmg and motivating love In the iinal analy5is. I believe it is neither education nor conSCIousness nor his styles nor values nor any human system, which will make things new —only the Spirit oi JESUS And He iS the new scene. too Oscar A Anderson Presrdenl Show less

Unlike a corporation which has only one fund. a college has many and operates among them as needed. At Augsburg. these include a general fund. restricted fund. endowment fund. annUIty-deterred givmg fund. and a plant fund. A five-year plan developed by each department head Is now being used. Each head plans for a five-year period. and revrews and upgrades the plan annually. At the end of the period. a reVIew is made to see what was and was not accom- plished. This system discrplines people to put improvements down on paper and to establish benchmarks to work toward. Cuplin has attempted to develop a strong purchasmg process to gain control and standardize input through the use of a unified purchasmg order form When a purchase reqmsmon is received. the purchasmg agent can revrew the department‘s account to see if the purchase is in line with the budget so that the college does not commit itself beyond its means This method of centralized purchasing, where one man does all ordering for the college instead of each department dorng its own reduces bookwork. combines several small orders into one larger one (often resulting in discount purchasmg). and antrcrpates consumption so stocks are reduced and capital is not tied up in supplies Dara processing equipment "as made i-I‘imi.” .iri iw studcnls more accurate And more ("iii/able Mm MN I‘ Nit Ivi- ‘.

During the 1969-70 school year. 460 students werked on campus sometime during the year. earning a total of $155,778 during the nine-month school year. Comparing this with the figures for ten years ago. we find that in 1959-60. 167 students worked on campus earning a total of $36,313. Students seeking work find campus jobs at Augsburg‘s Placement Office where a number of off-campus jobs are also listed. Many students find outside jobs on their own. but complete totals are not available. Those students who reported working off campus for 1969—70 numbered 525. but the Placement Office is sure that many others were working who did not report. The figure given here does not include jobs which began during the school year and extended into the summer; neither does it include figures for over a hundred playground positions reported to placement by Villages and cities in the metropolitan area, or group activities work assignments for students in education. On campus. Augsburg students find jobs in food service. at the library. and in secretary and custodial positions. Others work as projec- tionists. in the mail room. game room and at the switchboard. Some work in the language laboratories. in data processing and in the bookstore. and as photographers and special events crew members. Off campus. students work at the hospitals. banks and restaurants surrounding Augsburg. From a survey of present students at the college. a list of jobs students work at was compiled. Indications show that some jobs provide spending money only for students. but in some cases the work pays for a substantial proportion of their educations. Besides typical jobs both during the year and during the summer months such as sales clerks. mothers' helpers. and janitors. several students found unusual and interesting posmons combining their college majors. hobbies or unusual talents.

VISITING ARTIST MAKES DISCOVERV As a result of Toshi Yoshida’s visit to Augsburg College last summer, the 3M Company of St, Paul developed a new product and found a new salesman. Yoshida, well-known Tokyo artist, conducted a workshop in Japanese wood block printing at the college When he complained that his bamboo baren did not work well in the Midwest's climate, Dr. F. Mark Davis, chairman of Augsburg's English department and professor of 3M's “Clear Written Communications" class. talked to the company about the problem. As a result. 3M developed a polyester film to be used as the device for pressing paper onto inked forms. Now Yoshida prepares and sells the polyester barens in his workshops around the country. AUGSBURG GIVES POSITION ON DISCRIMINATION CHARGES Readers of NOW may be aware that charges have been made regarding discrimination against women at both faculty and staff levels. Augsburg College does not have any policies nor does it knowingly engage in practices which are discriminating in terms of belief. race. color or sex. The allegations which have been made are based on misinformation and give a com- pletely false impression. That faculty cutbacks have had to be made for 1971-72 is true, but these have affected men and women. Because it is important to be sensitive to this problem. the Faculty Senate. at President Anderson's suggestion. has appointed a com- mittee to study the college's policies and practices with regard to the hiring, compensation, promotion and tenure as they relate to women. and to make whatever recommendations are deemed appropriate. AUGSBURG CLAIMS WILSON FINALIST Charles Maland. a senior at Augsburg from Blue Earth, Minn. has been named a Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation finalist. As a finalist he will be recommended to graduate schools for assistantships and fellowships. An English and political science major, Maland is one of 300 outstanding college seniors in the United States and Canada to receive one of the awards in the 25th Woodrow Wilson Fellowship competition. EDUCATIONAL CONSORTIUM FORMED Twelve colleges and universities in Minnesota. South Dakota and Iowa have incorporated Into a Higher Education Consortium to study. teach and serve in the area of urban attain. Members of the new inter-institutional grouping include Augsburg College. Augustana. Bethel. Carleton, St. Thomas. Gustavus. Hemline. Luther. Macalester. St. John's, St. Diet and the University of Minnesota. Elected president at the consortlum's governing board is Dr. Joel S. Torstenson. chairmen of Augsburg's sociology department. Current consortium projects include the operation of a “Crisis Colony" live-in program for students on the north side of Minneapolis and in the Minneapolis Model City. So tar. more than 60 students have participated in colony programs. Another project, funded by the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Commission's Community Service Division. involves a team of several consortium faculty who are conducting an analysis of the Minneapolis Model City's planning and operational processes.
