Show moreEnglish by Eric Larsen What does an English Department chairman do? If the chairman happens to be RON PALOSAARI, he uses an offbeat, wry sense of humor to keep the department moving and the people listening. He sends out memos that may start like this: ‘‘Dear Fellow Travelers in this Val- ley of Confusion ...” It’s the unique Palosaarian humor injected into classroom discussions that helps to make Ron Palosaari popular with students and colleagues alike. These days, a wry sense of humor is almost a requisite for a department chairman who has to deal with a low budg- et, faculty cutbacks, more students and a need for addi- tional courses. Palosaari fits the bill. And that’s what he does, besides teaching. LORRAINE LIVINGSTON presents to her students a disciplined approach to English courses. She demands quality work and delivers her well-prepared lectures with the precision of a slightly mellowed drill sergeant. Writ- ing, Shakespeare and modern fiction are her ancilliary interests. The department has witnessed somewhat of a radical but refreshing change during the past year: GRIER and CATHY NICHOLL decided to challenge the staid and sex- ist a-woman’s-place-is-in-the-home attitude; they share one full-time teaching position between the two of them. Grier also acts as Director of American Studies; Cathy is active in the feminist movement. K. BERNER DAHLEN is turning in his chalk and worn- Above: Catherine and Grier Nicholl plan their joint professorship. 50 Above: John Mitchell and Dave Wood relax in the sun discussing the latest English news.

After some thirty- odd years at Augsburg, the walking encyclopedia of fact and trivia has reached mandatory retirement age; yet, he probably harbors no intention of letting DON QUIXOTE and other “literary classics’’ gather dust. A scissors and a Bic pen could probably be counted among JOHN MITCHELL’S most prized possessions. Poet- ry, filmmaking and writing intermixed with Jung and Freudian interpretations characterize this professor and Perpetual Student. Snipping and editing his own films along with writing ‘Filmclips’”’ for the ECHO act as diver- sions outside of the classroom. Teacher becomes student during 1974-75 when John returns to graduate school to study, appropriately enough, film. Mitchell is also an ac- complished poet. William Shakespeare is RICHARD SARGENT’S first love (next to wife Karin and their young son). At least, that’s the impression that most English majors, minors and un- decideds have of the newly-annointed Ph.d. An academi- cian to the core, Richard’s degree represents the depart- ment’s latest acquisition in the cause of self- improvement.

Show moreForeign Languages by Valeria Baltina “Why take languages, if they are not required?”’ one could ask upon entering college. Maybe the. reason languages are not required is be- cause a person who has decided to reach out for a higher education in a liberal arts college already should know that languages are essential for education in general. A person without knowledge in languages could not be considered an educated person, at least not in liberal arts education. He is a one-dimensional person. But what is a liberal education? What does it mean, LIB- ERAL arts? Webster informs us: LIBERAL ARTS: the subjects of an academic college course including literature, philosophy, languages, histo- ry, etc., primarily cultural studies. LIBERAL EDUCATION: a general extensive education, not necessarily preparing the student for any specific profession. LIBERAL: of or pertaining to a freeman, befitting a free- man, noble, liberal. Is that not the student’s goal? Yes. But, he would also like to be prepared for a ‘specific profession’”’. Of course. But, sorry to say, in our “specific’’ times, yet changing times, the specialized graduate is not so sure to obtain a position in his ‘‘specific’’ profession, and even if he does, he may not feel prepared for it. The most prepared per- son in our times is the broadly educated person, the flexi- ble person, the three-dimensional person, capable enough, intelligent enough to manage different kinds of professions and to be, after a while, successful and needed. In many respects languages help a person in his intel- lectual growth and spiritual development by widening his horizon and by opening new dimensions. In studying languages, one finds out about other nations, their cultur- al values, costumes, peculiarities, their thinking and feel- ing and one crosses a bridge to meet them. But he never- theless also meets himself as a new person; he starts to understand himself as a human being. One who has not studied widely and deeply a language or languages will never discover the real beauty of poetry and literature, will never really understand other nations, their thoughts and feelings, their ‘‘song of heart’. Languages show us that nations are related to each oth- er, but they show also that they are different. For thou- sands of years the Indo-Europeans and also Asians have used “mother” and “brother” as common and as uniting words — the one representing the creation of life and the love for life, the other for caring for each other, for recog- nizing in the other human being the common human values. But each nation has changed the sounds of those common words according to the “sound of his heart’. Below: The Department of Foreign Languages faculty from L to R con- sists of: Valeria Baltina, Ruth Aaskov, Chairman Donald Steinmetz, Mary Kingsley, Mary Johnson, and standing, Katsuyoshi Nakamura, Faith Thompson, Valija Jaunlinins, and William Oyler.

Sh OIE ASSEN Rc Thus: Sanskrit Greek Latin Lithuanian Latvian German Anglo-Saxon Mataz Meter Mater Mote Mate - Mutter Moder Bhrataz Phrater Frater Brolis Bralis Bruder Brother Irish Russian Mathair Mat: Bhrathair Brat In different languages we find the relationship, but also the differences. Not only the sounds, but also the mean- ing of the word carries some secrets. We all know the word ‘‘sputnik’’ ( =Satellite) but we do not know the real meaning of that word in Russian. The stem ‘‘put”’ ( =away), the suffix ‘‘nik’’ — as a noun classifer, we get the meaning — traveler adding prefix ‘‘s’’ (=with) — co-trav- eler, companion. A companion not only through space, but also on earth; thus even a book can become a “‘sput- nik’ but if we translate the word as satellite, in every in- stance, a Russian would not understand us. In words and expressions, one meets also with the philosophy of a nation. Solzhenitsyn, in his novel, THE FIRST CIRCLE, writes about the Russian word “‘stschaste”’ (=happiness): “the word happiness (stschaste is derived from the word that means this hour, this moment. The transitory nature and reality of the concept are implicit in Left: Brenda Salberg just never stops studying. Below: Norwegian Pro- fessor Leif Hansen delivers his lecture with a strong grip and a hearty smile. the word itself’. There are words that are so characteristic of a nation’s spirit that one can only describe them without being able to find the adequate word for them in his own language. For example: German: ‘‘Gemiutlichkeit’’; ““gandige Frau’; French: “espirit’’; Latvian: ‘““dziviba”’. There are expressions which bring us closer to the na- tion’s spirit. The Latvian metaphor ‘‘saule lec’”’ ( = the sun is rising) really says: the sun is leaping. It reflects the na- tion’s vitality. The richness of a language, the sensitivity of it enriches us and sharpens our sensitivity. Language stimulates, illu- minates our life, widens our personal life, brings the world and people into our room who otherwise would be far away from us. Languages still are a mystery to man. The Bible tells us that God told Adam to give names to all creatures. The divine Creator brought all creatures to Adam “‘to see what he would call them’’. So the first deed done by man was to create words or language. And there is some divine and some human power blended in language. The order and fundamental rules in a language and its grammar can be compared with the divine order of the universe. The universe, our body, our spirit expressed in thoughts and feelings become a spiritual inheritance when they are expressed in language. 53

Assistant Professor of Music at Augs- burg, Dr. Johnson tries to get to know as many students as possible. He feels that each one represents a quality of God and he can learn as much from them as they do from him. The piano is Dr. Johnson’s pet, and he has many csu- certs behind him. He has travelled both home and abroad, performing as asolo concert pianist and perform- ing with different orchestras. In his Minneapolis home, Dr. Johnson teaches his own children, requiring them to practice 45 minutes a day on each instrument. He gets them up as early as 5:30 a.m. to get it done. Dr. Johnson likes to teach all kinds of different people at various ages, as he feels they are all so interesting. He regularly teaches students ranging from 5 to 80. Coaching recitals fills much of Dr. Johnson’s time. He requires his students to give recitals, not wanting any tal- ent to be wasted. Besides piano lessons, Dr. Johnson teaches music theory at Augsburg. Dr. Johnson hopes that people blessed with musical talents will know whether it is right for them or not. He encourages students in the music field to keep on, work- ing with each student’s potential. Dr. Johnson feels that music is a way of expressing God, and since each person carries a part of God in them, he believes in helping oth- ers express their musical abilities. 54 Above: The Music faculty L to R: James Carlson (band dir.), Katherine Hennig (voice), Diana Metzker (piano/organ), James Johnson (piano), Kathryn Sandquist (piano), Robert Karlen (orch.), Stephen Gabrielsen (organ), and Leland Sateren (choir).

Show moreby Diane Hoffbauer If you happen to meet Randy Ferguson in Spain, don’t be surprised. He is buying a new guitar as he did last No- vember. A flamenco and classical guitarist, Randy can be found in his room playing for casual listeners, teaching beginning to advanced students, or working on a new number for his next recital. Randy has become a well known face on campus. Influenced by an older musical brother, Randy began his career in music early. He has been taking guitar les- sons ever since the ninth grade. An old Hungarian, who was previously a conductor of the Budapest Philharmonic before WWII, was the first to teach him. In addition to playing the guitar, Randy played the clarinet and was the head of the percussion section of the concert and march- ing bands in high school. Later on, Randy learned how to play flamenco guitar. He began to teach at the Guild for Performing Arts and at two other studios, besides teach- ing privately at an average of 32 hours a week. Travel breaks any routine in Randy’s life. He is constant- ly attending workshops across the country. In New York he attended a seminar with composer John Duarte and guitarist Carlos Barbosa-Lima. Concerts and perform- ances also spice up Randy’s life. He has played in many, having appeared at the American Swedish Institute, var- ious colleges and high schools, talent shows, and the Minnesota State Fair in 1973. Randy is a double-major in Spanish and guitar at Augs- burg. He is impressed with the music reputation that the college holds, the professors, and the smallness of the college. But after leaving Augsburg what does the future hold? Randy believes that he will probably get his masters in applied music at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music under the direction of Michael Lorimer. In the near future, Randy would like to cut his teaching hours down and devote more time to performing. He has held three recitals at Augsburg this year.

Show moreReligion by Paul Breitenfeldt To say that we have just an ordinary religion depart- ment at Augsburg is to understate the diversity of religion courses, and undercut the intellectual knowledge and spiritual insights that each of the outstanding professors have. In my two years affiliation with Dr. Benson, Dr. Olli- la, Dr. Quanbeck, Dr. Skibbe, and New Testament Greek professor Katsuyoshi Nakamura, | have only begun to appreciate their serious desire for truth both in their par- ticular research and teaching fields. When a student participates in a religion course such as Biblical Studies or Theology of Paul, he is encouraged to use his own imagination, thinking, and past and present experiences. The student is secretly asked to question some old traditional views and to stand up for what he believes and what he knows will be the truth. From my past experience with the five mentioned pro- fessors, | can sincerely say that they are interested in every individual student’s well being. Dr. Benson, in late April, made a decisive step toward a better Introduction to The- ology course due to his acquaintances with such interest- ed students as senior Chuck Lindquist and sophomore Karen Nelson. Here is current proof that student-teacher relations can begin to transform a course for the better- ment of the Augsburg college student. The authentic professors in the religion department are willing to go an extra mile with interested, searching, and challenging students. Indeed, they each have their own theological persuasion, yet at the same time they are aware of the invaluable additions students make to the class. Like all other aspects of study, it is necessary that the student takes the initiative to explore and discover by himself, with friends and teachers, the truths which are important for his life. 58 Above: The Religion faculty are as follows: Gordon Nelson, Eugene Skibbe, Douglas Ollila, Chairman Philip Quanbeck, and John Benson.

Show morePhilosophy by Neil Pauluk “Who am |?” “How do | find meaning and purpose in life?’ “Is there a God?” ‘“‘What is truth?’’ Philosophy tries to answer these questions. The philosophy department at Augsburg has been seeking and finding answers since its creation in the early 60’s. Perhaps its strength and uniqueness lies in its empha- sis on the history of philosophy. Although all the instruc- tors in the department have a deep interest and respect for religious doctrine and theological thought, they are equally interested in issues and ideas outside of the reli- gious realm. Faculty members include: Bruce Reichenbach, who specializes in the areas of the philosophy of religion and phenomenology/existentialism; Mark Fuehrer, who has a special interest in Ancient and Renaissance philosophy; Kenneth Bailey and John Benson, who also teach philoso- phy as well as being involved in other responsibilities. Dr. Reichenbach has written the book The Cosmological Argument: A Reassessment, and has contributed to philo- sophical journals. Why would one major in philosophy? The major is highly recommended, not only for those hoping to go to graduate school in philosophy, but also for students en- tering the seminary, law school, or graduate school in other fields. Those interested in areas such as history, reli- gion, literature, psychology, and natural science can strengthen their college program with a double major which includes philosophy. The study of philosophy can add significantly to a general liberal arts education by developing one’s reasoning ability and by opening up new areas and methods of intellectual inquiry.

Show moreSociology by Nancy Holland What is social welfare all about? What do you do at your placement? In the midst of many transitions, Augsburg’s social welfare department strives steadily toward its goal of preparing students to be adequate social workers at the BA level. The two questions above are the primary components of a social welfare education and more closely related than-at first glance. Finding out about social welfare comes from actual experience in the field and then shar- ing those widely varying experiences in classes. Back- ground of the field, practice in labs and practice in the field, and subsequent discussion put together a picture of ‘“‘Where am | going? What is the purpose of the field? Do social workers help people? What are the shortcomings? Do social workers just screw up people? What are the ‘systems’ and where is my place in relation to them? What are my responsibilities as a social worker? What makes a good and bad social worker?” The variety of placements and opportunities is virtually limitless and Augsburg’s broad offerings are only a small sample of what is available. One Augsburg junior works at Pharm House. Her comments illustrate one kind of social work: “Working at Pharm House involves primarily drug crisis and interven- tion. The volunteers are there to answer the phone and walk-ins concerning any information they want to know — most of it regarding drugs. There is one-to-one coun- seling and group work. First hand experience in handling crises, where it’s vital to make a decision, could hardly be as effective in a classroom. Also, picking up the little things that a chemically dependent person might men- tion would be seen best in such an agency.

Psychology is the study of behavior. The goal of psycho- logical study is improved capacity for understanding and coping effectively with human behavior. The psychology department at Augsburg has been growing steadily since its birth in the early 60’s. One im- portant development has been the creation of a Student Advisory Council to aid communication between the psy- chology faculty and the students and also to arrange spe- cial meetings with guest speakers, movies, discussions, and other activities. With this brief orientation, we would like to introduce our faculty members. Lyla Anderegg specializes in the measurement, teach- ing, and counseling areas of psychology. She is a member of the American Psychologial Association and a certified psychologist. Ms. Anderegg is interested in developing women’s studies programs. Grace Dyrud has focused her teaching in the areas of experimental methodology, psychological theory and social issues. Her publications include Developmental Abnormal Psychology with Roff and Mink, Play To Learn, Social Change, and articles. She is also concerned about the need for good developmental conditions for children. Norman Ferguson specializes in physiological psychol- ogy and animal behavior. He has published many experi- mental investigations. Bruce Gildseth has a major interest in social and coun- seling psychology. He is orientated toward action re- search, particularly as it relates to the attitudes and values of today’s students. Duane Johnson has focused on teaching developmen- tal psychology and counseling psychology. He is a mem- ber of the American Psychological Association and is a Psychology certified consulting psychologist in Minnesota. For a psychology major, the three main opportunities available are teaching, research, and providing psycho- logical services. Teaching is primarily at the college level although there is a trend toward more psychology offer- ings at the high school level. Research in psychology is conducted in government, business, institutional, and educational settings. Psychological services are provided by clinical, counseling, industrial, and educational psychologists.
