Show moreWINTER SPORTS Hockey The team this year has a nucleus of twelve returning lettermen supplemented by a fine group of freshmen, plus two in- dividuals, Mike Anderson who five years ago was an all-conference goalie for Augsburg before a stint with the Navy, and Gregg Nelson, a transfer student from the University of Pennsylvania. Gradua- tion cost the Auggies three all-MIAC players in John Harden, Tom Iverson, and Mark Sateren, last year's tri-captains. Coach Saugestad says We are a bit smaller this year, but will try to make up for this with three balanced lines, three sets of defensemen, and speed. The league as a whole should be up this year, and Concordia, which now has its own indoor ice should be especially improved. Coach Saugestad favors Gusta- vus, St. Mary's, and Augsburg to steal the honors, but recognizes St. Thomas and St. John's as teams to look out for in the conference title race. Augsburg this year will face two outstanding northern college teams. On Dec. 5 and 6 in Port Arthur, 0nt., Cana- da, the team meets Lakehead University, a team which last year defeated national NAIA champs, Bemidji. In January the Auggies host the University of Winnipeg. Wrestling The Auggies will be seeking their third-straight MIAC title this year under the direction of Coach Ron Pfeffer who is in his fourth year at Augsburg. The team will have a hard time equaling last year's 14-1 dual meet record and their 11th place finish in the NAIA tour- nament. The Auggies were also undefeated in conference competition while winning the MIAC tournament, the Carleton-St. Olaf Invitational and the All-Lutheran Championship last season. This will be a rebuilding year for the young Augsburg squad. They lost five lettermen from last year's team including the outstanding Miller twins, Daryl and Dale. Graduation especially hurt the team in the upper weights. Seventeen freshmen will be battling for starting positions this year, and are expected to play key roles in nearly half of the weight classes. Some of the freshmen who are expected to help the Auggies this year include Tim McEwan, Ron Georgeson, Tim Gutzman, Scott Brown and Jim Lewis in the lower weights, while Jeff Erickson, Chris Gates and Mark Mat- tison will battle in the middle weights. In the heavier weights the Auggies will get help from Kim Anderson and Terry Pe- terson. The Auggies will be facing their toughest schedule ever as this year they face such NAIA powers as Morningside, Up- per Iowa and St. Cloud in non-conference action. In the MEAC, St. John's, St. Thomas and Concordia should give Augsburg their toughest competition. In all it will be another exciting year for the wrestlers. Faced with a difficult schedule, hurt by graduation and inexperience, the Auggies may have an up-hill battle. But with the winning tradition and pride that this team has, it shOuld be another winning season. Basketball The key to Augsburg basketball for- tunes this season could well be determin- ed in the backcourt. Coach Ernie Ander- son must replace three starters and will be handicapped by inexperience. Mike Haag, a 6'9" sophomore from Ho- ward Lake, Minn., is the leading candi- date for the center position vacated by graduating Bruce Mestemacher. Haag, one of five returning lettermen, appeared in 20 games for the Auggies last season, but saw little extended action. John Ewert, sophomore from Spring Lake Park, and Bruce Wessman, junior from Cokato, are the only returning starters. Evert, still hobbled by a football injury to his leg, may not play until January when he might see duty at center. The other returning lettermen are forwards Gary Syverson and Dave Lehrke, both sophomores from Willmar who saw lim- ited action last year. Jim Geske, sophomore from Mounds View, returns from last year's squad, but saw little action. He will likely team. with either Gary Ellefson, freshman from Esko, or Brad Olson, fresh from Osseo. Both boys have impressed Coach Anderson in the early practice sessions. 6 O O 7 Show less

Jeroy Carlson Director of Alumni Relations WHERE ARE WE? 0n the second floor of Memorial Hall, above the desk of the alumni direc— tor, there is a large world map made by the international students on the Augs- burg campus. Ribbons stretch from Minneapolis to show where our students have come from to the doors of the college. Other ribbons show where our stu- dents have gone to make Augsburg's influ- ence felt in the world. Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, Central America and Canada feel the outreach of our students and graduates as they per- form their work. Where does a man gain pride? How can he serve? How can he give of himself for others?. We are in the concern business; we are in the love business. That is, we love people the world over. This is why we have been in this business for 100 years. What was is not forgotten; what is must be improved; what is to be must be supported. Where are we? Everywhere. And we are only beginning Century II. WHAT'S IN STORE FOR '70? Students need to be contacted through alumni as well as the church be— cause recruitment is getting very compet- itive. If the alumni and church do not help in this way, we may have difficulty reaching our projected number of fresh- men. Won't you help? Financial aid, a perennial problem for many in all classes, needs your sup- port in order for students to receive as much assistance as they need before funds run out. The college not only lacks the funds to assure each student the amount of money he needs, but monies run out be- fore all students are accommodated. Our church support does not increase from year to year as might be expected. Therefore, the dollars contributed by the church do not reach the demands of rising costs, and we must seek designated gifts for Augsburg from church members. Our alumni who are church members are encour- aged to give directly to the support of the college in addition to pledges to their congregations. Better communication is needed be- tween alumni and city captains, state chairmen and class representatives to help the 21-member board of directors of the Alumni Association contact all alumni and prepare an improved program for you. Attention classes of 1920, '25, '30, '35, '40, '45, '50, '55, '60, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69 and '70: it is time to be- gin thinking about what you may wish to do in connection with your reunion get— together at homecoming on Saturday, Octo- ber 24, 1970. Let your class representa- tives know what activities you might like to be part of so your class reunion will be the best ever. A goal -- last year we set a goal of $100,000 and we raised $105,000. Those who did contribute are urged to continue giving; those who did not are encouraged to start to do so in 1970. We believe that a realistic goal is $125,000. Won't you please help? M 1940-1959 EVELYN LOVAAS ('40) is on furlough from Madagascar where she has been teaching in a high school. She is currently at the University of Minnesota working on a mas- ter's degree in education, and then will return to Madagascar in July, 1970, to be director of Dr. Dyrnes High School. DR. MARGARET FAITHE ('41) has been named an assistant professor of internal medi- cine at the University of Nebraska Col- lege of Medicine.

'0 Festival Week Summagy About as many activities were put in- to this week as could be arranged, and it was a tremendous success. It combined the old, the present and the future before us, and we liked what we saw. In fact, we look with anticipation toward new develop- ments in Decade 1, Century 11. Dedications, symposiums, book publi- cations, banquets, homecoming, smorgas- bords and worship all were engulfed in our celebration. There is no question that this is the largest return to campus of alumni and friends in one week in our history. In the last newsletter we gave you a complete schedule of Centennial and homecoming ac- tivities and we hope that it was your privilege to attend some of these events. Homecoming Noon Luncheon Over 400 alumni turned out for the luncheon on Saturday and it proved to be a highlight for conversation, excitement and over-all approval of what is happening at the college. There is no question about the City of Augsburg Room impressing all who visi— ted; the exciting attitude of 100 years of our college's endeavor to provide and pro- duce graduates in "Education for Service” is becoming a definite matter of pride. We are coming of age, and our aging is comely. We are what we are because of what we have been, what we are presently, and what we will be in the future. In addition to the 25-year and 50- year classes, the five-year reunion class was well represented. Enlarging the Board of Directors The one item of business at the noon luncheon was that of approving the amend- ment to enlarge the Alumni Board of Direc- tors from 12 to 21 members. It was unani- mously approved. The December Alumni Newsletter will contain a ballot for voting on candidates for the Alumni Board. It is our hope that alumni will inform the Alumni Office of people they would like to be considered as possible candidates. Any suggestions should be sent as soon as possible for the nominating committee to consider. Honor Convocation, 1969 Five Auggies were made recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Citation on Friday, October 17. These honors went to Sigurd Andreassen ('07), Oswald Oudal ('27), Mar- tin Quanbeck ('29), George Michael- sen ('31), and Benjamin Gjenvick ('43). The convocation is probably the high- light of homecoming as it reflects the way in which our alumni are serving society. It is with pride that we hear and honor our graduates who are giving genuine ser- vice in many walks of life. Twenty former recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Ci- tations were introduced with this state- ment: "Any college in America would be proud to claim these people as alumni." A surprise to all but a few was the presentation of the first Honorary Distin- guished Alumna Citation. It went to Miss Gerda Mortensen for her outstanding con- tributions to the college as Dean of Women for 41 years, and for her devoted service as Centennial Secretary in arranging ac- tivities for the Centennial celebration. A service award was also presented her by the city of Minneapolis. The cooperation of students, faculty, administration and alumni has made this honors convocation an annual homecoming highlight. See for yourself next year. CLASS NOTES DR. 0.M. FELLAND ('20) is still in active medical practice in Colfax, Wis. EVAN L.
