Show more8 CAMPUS NEWS Norwegian Minister speaks On status of women, children By Shirley Satgren, Now Editor l omen and children fare far better in Norway than most other countries including the U.S., thanks to the Norwegian Equal Status Act and other govemment policies, according to Tove Gerhardsen, Minister of Health and Social Affairs of Norway. Gerhardsen was a keynote speaker at a Oct. 7 symposium on campus on “Women in Modern Soci- ety.“ The event was part of the Leiv Eriksson Festival sponsored by Augsburg‘s Scandinavian Center, the Fairyiew Foundation, Lutheran Broth- erhood, the Royal Norwegian Consu~ late General and many Norwegian American groups. The facts Gerhardsen presented were impressive: V Norway provides for parental leave at 80 per cent pay for 30 weeks for new parents — either mothers or fathers. This “ill be extended to 52 weeks over the next four years. V Leave can be applied to reduced working hours for parents of children age 7 and under. V Leave of absence is of up to 20 days per year is available when children under 10 are ill — more when children are disabled, handicapped or seriously ill. V There is a child support allow- ance ofabout $1,150 a year per child. V More child care centers and ex» panded after-school facilities are high on the political priorities list. Norway has a broad political consensus on equal rights and sex equality, said Gerhardsen, and the women’s movement there has entered a quiet phase of consolidation rather than confrontation. Abortion, which is Ann Wynia free, is not a major political issue. However, despite impres- sive strides in government policy, Norwe- gian women still find them- selves in the same clash of interests between family life and working life as U.S. women. Norwe- gian women still carry the major work load at home because men are still dragging their feet about child care and housework, she said. “The status ofwomen and the welfare of children can be truly safe- guarded only when men begin to take their full part ofchild care and respon- sibility in the home,” she said. “Men, but also women, must change their attitudes and daily lives.” Her comments were echoed by her husband, Rune, who is municipal Tove Gerhardsen, Minister of Health and Social Affairs 0/ Norway, was recently on campus for a symposium on 'Women in Modern Society. " councillor of Oslo. Rune, who accom- panied her to the U.S., was one ofthe symposium panel responders. Rune Gerherdsen told the Foss Center audience of mostly women that they must stand up and defend female attitudes and insist that husbands share in duties at home. Then men will have the same experiences and the same atti- tudes and values. The result will be a “double effect,” he said, and a new level of female participation will be integrated into society. Speaker Ann Wynia, Minnesota Commissioner of Health and Social Affairs, was the second keynote speaker. Wynia lamented the media myth that has developed in the U.S. that the successful modern woman is beautiful, talented, educated, thin and expected to “do it all" — have a successful career, a wonderful marriage and perfect children — and do it elfortlessly. The realities for employed women are quite difierent, she said, and she cited the lagging U.S. statistics on women’s income, status in profes— sional and occupational fields, and availability of child care. Women with college degrees still earn less than men who are only high school graduates, she said. They hold few top executive or governmental positions. Women and children also dominate the statistics on poverty — 77 per cent of the 33 million Ameri- cans who live in poverty are women and children. Affordable child care is not available, said Wynia. Norwegian women have made some of their greatest progress in the political arena, said Tove Gerherdsen. The Norwegian prime minister, Gro Harlem Brundtland, is a woman and 36 per cent of the representatives in Parliament are women. Municipal councils are 30 per cent women and country councils are 40 per cent. The figures are far lower, however, at local government levels, she said. Men still occupy more than 96 per cent of the top executive positions in private industry, however, she added. Responders at the symposium included Marlene H. Engstrom, vice president of the Minneapolis Area Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America; David A. Nasby, director of community affairs for General Mills; Norma C. Noonan, Augsburg professor of political science; and Rune Gerhardsen. Karen Olson Boros, journalist for Minnesota Public Radio, was the moderator.

That’s the way 1989 finished for the Augsburg volleyball team. Coach Marilyn Florian’s team finished 8-29 overall — 6~8 in duals — to equal its final record of 1988. The Auggies had a young squad with just two seniors — Sally Hedman (Grand Rapids) and Marie chnson (Minnea« polis) —— and that youth and some injuries surfaced in tournament play, where the Auggies struggled to a 2~21 record. “We improved our regular-season in conference play, but our biggest dis- appointment was our tournament play all yeart’LFlorian said. “We had a starting player injured every tourna- ment from the end of September through the end of the year.” The Auggies placed ninth in the lZ-team MIAC tournament held at Macalester College. The Auggies, seeded ninth, lost in three games to both Nos. 3-4 seeds Concordia and Gustavus, then bowed to Hamline. A victory over Macalester Saturday was the weekend’s bright spot, and a loss to St. Mary‘s closed the consolation round. Hedman was voted the team’s MVP, and was named Honorable Mention All-MIAC. Hcdman also was nominated for academic All-MlAC with a gpa over 3.20. The Auggie Award went to to junior Kristi Svend- sen (Annandale), in recognition of her leadership, enthusiasm and work habits. The bright spot for Augsburg volleyball is that five starters will return next season, plus a 1988 starter who sat out this season. “We definitely will have more experience back than we’ve had in recent years,” Florian said. “The conference race was really balanced fi'om the third and fourth place teams through the 11th and 12th, there wasn’t much difference, so we should be able to move up next year.” Augsburg team stat leaders in MlAC games were Tina Kubes (soph., New Prague) in kills with 92; Julie Day (fi'., Owatonna) in hitting percentage at .267; Molly Fochtman (soph., Kala- mazoo, Mich.) in sets with 218 and setting percentage at .313; Iami Ander- son (fi'., Plymouth) and Rita Turchi (jr., Braham) in service aces with 27; Kristin Dragseth in digs with 192 and solo blocks with 14; and Hedman in blocks with 37.

Senior captain Deb Zieman (Stewart) is back at point guard, where she led the team in assists and averaged 5.4 ppg. Iunior forward Andrea Haight (Blue Earth) was the squad‘s No. 2 re- bounder (4.5 rpg) and scorer (9.5 ppg) despite missing the final six games of the campaign with a foot injury. Also Sophomore Julie Hanson is a Denier for (he Augsburg learn back from the starting five is senior Sham Koestler (Blue Earth), who scored 5.5 ppg at guard. Rounding out Schrcurs‘ team are letteminners lulie Hanson (Amery, VVrsc.) and Kim Avcldson (Richfield), both sophomore centers; soph guards Sue Gerhke (Menominee, Mich.) and Geri Newman (Ortonville); senior guard Eileen Fleming (Minneapolis); freshman center Becky Balzcr (Staples); fi'eshmen guards Tammy Van Bargcn (Cannon Falls) and Anjie Tonolli (Ev— celsior). Ebnet keeps By Gene Meleom. Sports Information Director He hails from the northern Minnesota vacation hamlet of Breezy Point, but Pat Ebnet isn‘t your laid- back, rest and relaxation guy. The Augsburg College senior loves to tackle academics and part—time jobs almost as much as he loves tackling quarterbacks. He carries five academic classes, including a 25-hour week business in- temship at Honeywell Industries. He also assists his mother in the family business, a game and shooting preserve and food processing plant in Breezy Point. The 6-foot, l95-pound Ebnet, a four-year starter at Augburg, was re- warded with MIAC Defensive Player of the Week honors follovring Augsburg's 17-6 triumph over Macalester. His 10 busy in quest of goals solo tackles, three assists and one firmble recovery paced a defense which allowed the fewest points by an Auggie defense since 1984, covering 49 games. “Our defense had an outstanding game,” Ebnct said. “Everyone pulled together as a unit. We had been down in a slump and we knew we had to pull out ofit. 1 think the “in over Macalester was definitely the highlight since I've been here.“ Augsburg coach Bill Hunstock agreed. “The Macalester game was just a great team effort,“ Hunstock said. “Our pass defense was excellent. We had four sacks, from five different people, and that‘s the most we‘ve had in a long time. They had the ball four times inside our 20vyard line and didn‘t score. And our offense moved the ball all day and scored when it had to," Hunstock and his teams have taken their lumps in trying to build the Auggie program in his four seasons, but he said the leadership and dedica- tion of his losman senior class, especially Ebnct, has bccn rewarding to him. “Pat‘s a first-class kid," Hunstock said. “He's dedicated, a good student, even carries a co-op job.

It was a private meeting arranged by the Nobel Institute while Anderson attended the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies in Oslo. Anderson presented the Dalai Lama with two prayer shawls and letters from Buddhists in the Twin Cities area and a peace pipe and and blessed by Sioux spiritual leader Amos Owen of Prairie Island. The Dalai Lama showed consid- erable interest in speaking at the Peace Prize Forum and the opportunity to meet with Jimmy Carter and other world leaders who have been invited, said Anderson. The Dalai Lama has met before with Carter in the interests of peace and human rights, and is very impressed with the projects of the former US. president. However, February is a very difficult time for him to come, said Anderson. The Tibetan New Year begins in February and the Dalai Lama schedules several weeks at that time every year to tour India to visit and pray with Buddhists and with Tibetans in exile. Anderson should have an answer within a few weeks after the Dalai Lama returns to India. “He definitely wants to come,” said Anderson. Carter, former Vice-President Walter Mondale, and Peter Duffy, chair ofthe execu- tive committee of Amnesty International, had ac- cepted earlier. Others who are invited include Nobel Laureate Lech Walesa, Polish Solidarity leader. “President Anderson made a very effective presentation to the Dalai Lama pointing out to him that he is the world’s most influential role model for non-violent leadership in the tradition of the late Mahatma Gandhi and CAMPUS NEWS 3 Augsburg President Meets in Norway With Dalai Lama Martin Luther King, In,“ said Peggy Davies, Augsburg Director of College Relations. Davies, who is the College‘s events planner for the upcoming Peace Prize Forum, was also a guest of the Nobel Institute at the Oslo ceremonies. Anderson‘s 25»minute audience included a discussion ofthe opportu- nity the Forum presents to the Dalai Lama to explain his peace initiatives to a US. audience and to focus attention on the Chinese government‘s genocide program against the people of occu» pied Tibet. Ninety Tibetans were arrested on Dec. 10 right before the Peace Prize ceremony — a measure that many, including the Dalai Lama, consider retaliation against Tibetans and the Nobel Institute for awarding the prize to the exiled Tibetan reli- gious leader. “In his acceptance speech at the Nobel ceremony, he talked about the virtues of non-violence as a means of social change,“ said Anderson. “It is also the only practical way that the leader ofa small, occupied country with no army can deal with one ofthe world’s major superpowers.“ The Dalai lama was extremely interested in the peace pipe that Anderson gave him, particularly its religious significance and that it had been blessed by a Sioux spiritual leader. “He travels extensively on behalf of his people and he receives countless gifts, but I doubt if he’s ever got a peace pipe before,” commented Anderson “I think it was a first.“ Sakharov Was to speak At Forum By Shirley Westman Satgren. New Editor Plans for the 1990 Peace Prize Forum at Augsburg College took an unexpected turn this month with the death ofSoviet - dissident and Alidrei Sakhamv Nobel Laureate Andrei Sakarov. Dr. Sakharov, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975, was scheduled as one of the keynote speakers at the Fonim on Feb. 16-17. He had accepted the invitation of former Vice-President Walter Mondale on behalf of Augsburg College earlier this year. Only a few days before Sakharov‘s death, Augsburg President Charles S. Anderson had received a letter confirming his attendance. Sakharov — as well as several other Nobel Laureates with notable ac- complishments in the field ofhuman rights — was invited to contribute his historical perspective and philosophical insight to the Fonim, said Anderson. A nuclear physicist, Dr. Sakharov led the struggle for human rights in the Soviet Union for over 30 years. He founded the Soviet Human Rights Committee and was a tireless critic of four Kremlin leaderships. Leonid Brezhnev banished him to internal exile for nearly seven years for protesting the Soviet invasion ofAlghanistan. In a remarkable comeback, Sakharov was elected to the Soviet parliament earlier this year, where he challenged even Mikhail Gorbachev, who freed him inl986. “Sakharov was more than an activist, a dissident, and a brilliant physicist. He was an international symbol of human rights who was a major influence on the enormous changes now underway in the Soviet Union,“ said Anderson. Enrollment up (Cont. from page 1) ment increases in the private colleges for the past six years including a 2.1 percent rise this fall. The 16 private colleges confer approximately one-third of Minnesota‘s bachelor degrees. The largest schools, according to Council figures compiled this fall, are College ofSt, Thomas (6,593 enrollment), St. Olaf College (3,166), Concordia College at Moorhead (2,858), Augsburg College (2,400), Gustavus Adolphus (2,348) and Hamline University (2,217). ( Note: The Council uses full-time equivalent fig» ures, not head count.) The private college enrollment increases run COLII’IICI' [0 state and na» tional declines in the number of high school students. “Despite a shrinking pool of trar ditional-age students, more and more students perceive greater value in the high quality of teaching at Minnesota’s private colleges," said David B. Laird, lr., president of the Minnesota Private College Council. Students see liberal arts as better preparation for an economy that is rapidly becoming a global economy. And Minnesota‘s private liberal arts colleges are recognized as among the best, he said. Show less

Show moreCAMPUS NEWS 5 Augsburg's Arm Bogrm Is Miss Black Minnesota Ann Bogren, wearing jeans, sweater and a ruby gemstone pendant, opened the door to the security booth that monitors all visitors to Urness and Mortensen towers. She offered her right hand and said, “Hi, I’m Ann.” Miss Black Minnesota was on duty, working as night and weekend supervisor at Augsburg College’s security department. A full-time student at Augsburg, she holds down a second part-time job as a student clerical worker for the state of Minnesota‘s special compensations department. She is also a member of Augsburg‘s Martial Arts Club and is training toward a black belt in tae kwon do. In Iuly she walked offwith the crown at the Miss Black Minnesota Pageant. Close behind her was fellow Auggie Tanya Tinsley, who was fourth runnerup in the pageant. Bogren is a senior majoring in sociology. Tinsley is an ’89 graduate in business manage- ment. She was also an outstanding athlete at Augsburg and co—captain of the women’s basketball team. Neither had any thoughts of entering the pageant until Anita Gay, director of Black Student Affairs at Augsburg, sent a mailer on the pageant to the black women students on carn- pus. Gay sort of nudged them into entering. “They were hesitant . . . but I told them it‘s not a beauty pageant,” Gay said. It’s a time and place to share talents and skills and to acquire knowledge about yourself, she said. Actually, there is an abundance of royalty on campus this year. In addition to Bogren and Tinsley winning in the Miss Black Minnesota pageant, there are two other contest winners. Carla Beaurline, a senior majoring in communications and sociology fi'om Moundsview, Minn., was crowned Miss White Bear Lake this summer. She won first place in talent and inten'iew and also was voted Miss Congeniality. Masanee Robin- son, a senior from Minneapolis major- ing in psychology, was named Home- coming Queen by the student body in October. What makes Bogren‘s role as Miss Black Minnesota unusual is that she has become controversial. Bogren has discovered that she isn’t accepted by many in the Twin Cities black com- munity because she grew up in a white family. Ann Bogren is adopted. Her parents are white, her brother — who is also adopted — is white, and she grew up in the all—white community of Bovey, Minn., near Grand Rapids. ‘ nn ogren But it was sometimes tough being accepted back in Bovey, too, she admits. In an interview with the Star Tribune last summer, Bogren said children in school frequently said cruel things that made her feel isolated when she badly wanted to fit in. “It was hard during my younger years. Children don’t have a sense of tactfiilness . a . I would get hurt a lot because of that. " And she has heard negative comments because she won the title of Miss Black Minnesota. At a parade in north Minneapolis, one person in the crowd said, “They should’ve crowned a sister." Another said, “She’s not black enough.” There have been other remarks. But there have been times when Ann Bogren has felt she fit in. For Special night set for Auggies at Metrodome The Minnesota Twins will play the New York Yankees on Augsburg’s “Night at the Metrodome" on Wednesday, May 23. Augsburg alumni, parents and students are all invited. Arrangements are being made for a special night for all Auggies, accord- ing to Alumni Director leff Swenson and College Relations Director Peggy Davies. Tickets in a special seating section for Auggies will cost $8 and $11 and can be ordered through the Alumni Ofiice. President Charles S. Anderson will throw out the ball for the game and an Augsburg representative will sing the national anthem. Each ticket buyer may submit one name per ticket to select a bat boy and bat girl to rep- resent Augsburg. Names will be drawn from entries received by Monday, May 14. (Children must be between the ages of 5 and 13 on the day of the game.) The big evening will begin with a pre—game picnic for all students, faculty, staff, parents and alumni at the stadium. There will also be door prizes. For information and tickets contact the Alumni Office at 612/330— 1 178 or 1 179. Editor's Note: Melissa Staub was a oontn’buting writer to this article. She is a senior majoring in communications and an intern in the College Relations ollice. three years she and her family lived in Papua, New Guinea, because her parents thought it important for her to experience another culture. “It was my chance to live in a community that was predominantly black,” she said. “Aside from my sophomore year at Augsburg, that was the best time of my life,“ she said. But Ann isn‘t one to dwell long on the problems ofhcr mixed ethnic heritage. She takes a genuine interest in her responsibilities as Miss Black Minnesota. That includes three public appearances each month to represent the pageant. “Based on the reactions of young people to me, I think I‘m being a good role model,“ Bogren said. “People know my story and the things I’ve done. Kids want to talk to me and ask for my autograph,” There are also people who reach out and attempt to help her, she added. “I‘m (also) coming in tune with the black part of me,“ she said.

Center for race relations Opens on Augsburg campus Inter-Race — the International Institute for Interracial Interaction — is the newest member of the Augsburg community. The newly formed center for race relations recently opened its doors in a remodeled house on the Augsburg campus. Vivian Jenkins Nelsen, director of Inter-Race, said that the center is a partner of the college but has its own board and identity. She said she turned down offers from several institutions before deciding on Augsburg for the center‘s location. One factor in her decision was that such a high percentage ofthc minority students who enter Augsburg stay to graduate. The center will be an umbrella organization for five resource centers which will deal “ith interracial youth leadership, interracial education, interracial interaction in the workplace, public policy advocacy and interracial families. Future plans also include a library, explained Nelsen. The mission ofInter-Race is a broad one -— to pron'de research, training, education and publications to promote interracial understanding in families, the work place, schools, com- munities and society. The center will also develop ideas for curriculum, said Nelsen. Now in the planning stage is a summer conference on interracial families —- first in a planned series of conferences dealing with racial issues. “So much ofwhat happens in racial matters is reactive,“ commented Nelsen. She emphasized that Inter- Racc will explore the cultural, racial and ethnic differences from a positive perspective. This point ofview is also .1 departure from the common beliefthat such differences should be ignored as proof of an open society, she added. "Rather, we believe that explorr ing these differences can point the way to a new and more vital America." Nelsen noted that the Twin Cities has a tradition of fairness and has a comparatively large number of‘intcrrar cial families, particularly adoptions of Asian children by white families. But there is also growing conflict among various racial groups, \he said. Dr. Charles \Villic, Harvard sociologist, was the speaker at a November luncheon on campus that marked the Opening ofthc new center. He said that many ofhistory's great liberators were individuals connected with two cultures. Moses was lcwish but adopted by the daughter ofan Egyptian pharaoh. Gandhi was Indian but educated in London. King was Black but his graduate education was largely in white institutions. He noted that such prominent colleges as Harvard and Berkeley have come to see that diversity can be as valued as excellence This year's entering freshman class at Berkeley is 53 per Cent minority students, he said.

The Auggies‘ 95—90 home-floor upset of Bethel College pushed their win streak to four and let it start 1-0 in the MIAC. Secondryear coach Brian Ammann, whose team endured a 12- game losing streak in 1988389 en route to an 817 finish, is riding sortie electric shooting from three-point range in a 42 start. The Auggies drained 18 three point shots (out of39 attempts) against Bethel, including 7-of-8 by junior captain Tac (Joplin (New Brighton/lrondale HS], who made a career-high 32 points. Bethel, which beat Augsburg twice by 16—point margins in 1988-‘89, made just four threes. Two days earlier, Augsburg sank 18-of-29 in a 9777 victory over Northwestern College. The win streak started Nov. 24 at Decorah, 1a., as the Auggies converted 14-of-33 three-pointers in a win over Luther College. Augsburg made just 3- of-8 against St. Scholastica Nov. 26, but one by freshman Scott Syring (Coon Rapids) with :02 left gave the Augs a dramatic 58-56 victory. That followed one by sophomore transfer Dave Carlson (Rosemount) with :13 remaining to cut the deficit to 56-55. On the season, Augsburg has canned ()7iof—152 threes (44 percent) to foes’ combined l9-of-38, for a per- game edge of 1 l .2 to 4.7. Although the compiling of national stats won‘t begin until later in December, the sink threes with ease Auggies may have the best totals in the nation. Last season’s national leaders in Div. I, II and III each averaged near 10 three-point goals a game. The key for Ammann is the number ofexcellent long-range shooters. Foes have trouble clamping down on one or two shooters, because the Augs have 10 players with at least one three-pointer and six with five or more. Coplin sank l3Show less

Show moreHomecoming Honors Christensen by Shirley Salgren, New Editor LXJigsburg Homecoming Week was a four-day plethora of programs and activities this year which included a series ofpublic events honoring the late Dr. Bernhard M. Christensen. Dr. Paul Sonnack, professor at Luther Northwestern Seminary and a1973 Augsburg Distinguished Alumnus, delivered the principal address, a public lecture on “A Per- spective on Bernard Christensen.” Nadia Christensen ('59) (right) were among the Christensen lamrly members attending. Sonnack introduced the audience to some ot‘the fundamentals that char» acterized the life and the teachings of the fifth president ofAugsburg. In his address, Sonnack also included some relevant comments of his own on modern American society. Christensen believed that a liberal arts education should be a liberating experience, said Sonnack, and that it should include a commitment to a life of service and a willingness to work for the common good. However, he said, “The latter seems to be especially difiicult for us Americans today have become so indi» \idualistic in their outlook, so obsessed with themselves and their own preoc- cupations, that they no longer have even a sense ofthe common good. “For many that makes the notion of ‘education for sem'ce‘ unrealisti— cally idealistic. But for those ofus whose perceptions were honed and sharpened and deepened by the Augsburg experience under the inspired example and leadership of Bernhard Christensen, there remains finally the deep acknowledgment that there is no other way to go." Dr. Paul Sannack. professor at Luther Northwestern Seminary, addressed the chapel audience on Bernard Christensen. " Sonnack also noted that Christensen’s views on the church and the community had implications for Christian involvement in secular society. The churches in the United States have become “magnificently charitable,” said Sonnack. “They have been less eager to participate in social action." “That Lutheran church commu- nities in recent years have become more involved in situations where issues ofjustice and human rights are paramount is due, at least in part, to the leadership provided by Dr. Chris tensen and other like-minded church- men.

She was killed on her way to work only a block from her home on the West Side of Chicago. Justice was a civil rights lawyer and private attorney who was commite ted to helping the less fortunate. “It’s ironic that the very person who worked so hard — she was on 14 neighborhood commissions — to prove you can live in a neighborhood like this turned out to be so tragically disproved," said her daughter Kirsten in a Chicago Tribune article. “She was mugged a week before and wasn‘t packing her bags. She was more committed than ever.” Marina Justice was an attorney for the Community Economic Devel- opment Law Project and worked as a pro bono lawyer and mediator to help the poor gain better housing and busi- ness opporunities. She also provided free legal work on behalf of clients of the Chicago Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and served as a volunteer legal counsel at Sarah’s Inn, a shelter for women and children. Justice and her family were on campus for ceremonies in May when the College ofiicially named the Augsburg student center after her father. She is survived by her daughter, Kirsten Justice ofWanchese, N. C.; a son, Owen Justice of Oak Park, Ill.; her mother, Lilly Gracia Christensen of St. Paul; sisters Nadia Christensen, Marya Farrell and Sonya Steven; and former husband David Justice. Memorials should be send to the Marina Christensen Justice Fund at Marina Christensen Justice Augsburg College. Earnings from the endowed fimd are designated for awards to students who have demon- strated a commitment to social justice issues that reflect the personal and professional commitments of Marina Christensen Justice. Cherryhomes Wins Minneapolis Council post Jackie Parker Cherryhomes (’76) was the winner of an upset Fifth Ward City Council race on Nov. 7. She defeated a 10-year incumbent, Van White, in an election in the racially mixed area that was marred by racial undercurrents. Cherryhomes, a North Side rede— velopment specialist, is white. White is black. Cherryhomes, who has worked on several political Campaigns, at one time worked on one ofVan White’s races. But she became fiustrated trying to get him to push for housing and de- velopment hands for the area. Cherryhomes majored in political science and English at Augsburg, but her interest in politics surfaced far earlier. At one time she lived across the alley from former Governor Orville Freeman. By her teens, she was deliv- ering campaign brochures door to door. At 17 she was elected a delegate at her first DFL caucus. When she and her husband Dan bought a house in north Minneapolis, they became active in neighborhood activities, especially the Northside Resi- dents Redevelopment Council. The organization later hired her as their housing and business development expert. That led to an appointment to the board that supervised the city’s housing and development agency and put her into the political arena. Cherryhomes is the daughter of Pat Parker, associate dean at Augsburg, and John Parker, curator of the James Ford Bell Museum at the University of Minnesota.

Andersen, regent emeritus of Augsburg College, Macalester College and the University of Minnesota, was honored on the steps of the State Capitol in June on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Some 700 friends also attended a dinner in his honor. Tributes came from scores of persons who have been involved with Anderson’s long and successful career as a businessman, governor, state senator, farmer, newspaper publisher, college regent and philanthropist. US. Senator Dave Durenberger called Anderson “Minnesota’s most re- spected public citizen.” Other speakers recalled how Anderson, during his terms as senator and governor, had much to do with initiating state pro- grams for handicapped children, passage of the state’s Fair Employment Practices Act, enabling legislation for the state’s taconite industry, and preservation of northern Minnesota’s wildemess area. President Bush and retired Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger were among the dignitaries who sent tributes and the St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch summed up Andersen’s career in an editorial with the cement that "some people have been kinder and gentler all along.I 1‘ "7“." Andersen paid tribute to his wife, Eleanor Johnson, whom he met 60 years ago while both were students at the University of Minnesota. “Nothing has been more important to my happiness and life fulfillment than that meeting and all that has flowed item it,” he said. He credited his early religious training and his wife, as the major influences in his life. “I believe,” he said, “that accepting the teachings of Christ, or similar influences in other faiths, can have a tremendous impact on any life. Belief encourages risk- taking for worthy purposes. It builds confidence It teaches one that service to others is life’s richest firlfill- merit.” College nominated FOr Access Award Augsburg College was nomi- nated for an Access Achievement Award this fall for its commitment to making the campus accessible to physi- cally challenged students and stafl". The award is sponsored by the Minnesota Multiple Sclerosis Society. The College made a major com- mitment to accessibility in 1978. A skyway-tunnel-elevator system now connects ten major buildings on cam- pus. The latcst project was to install a new elevator this summer in Si Melby Hall. The auditorium had been accessible with a ramp, but the lower level where the restrooms are located was not accessible. Southwest State University in Marshall, Minn, won the award this year. The awards ceremony drew more than 350 guests including Governor Rudy Perpich. Show less

A look (mole at Wayne Molomder by Vern Bloom i ayne Melander died June 11 at the age of42. He was a gradu» ate of Augsburg College in 1983 and a veteran of the Vietnam War. In 1967, he’d been in Vietnam less than a month when the back end of his troop carrier was blown up. He was instantly, permanently blinded and lost his left arm. His face was disfig- ured and his brain was injured. Nine hospital stays later, he was sent home. A 20-year-old kid, just doing what his country and government told him was “right.” Right? Now he was physi— cally and emotionally damaged — bitter and giving up on life. Ten years later he showed up at Augsburg. “Wayne could be a tough one to work with, Dave Lundsten, his Veteran’s Administration caseworker, told me. “He refused to follow through with most plans we tried to make. And those places where he did want to go wouldn’t accept him, until Augsburg College. Pat Parker, associate dean, Jerry Gerasimo, sociology professor, and I were at his funeral. I looked at him lying there. His false eye, the scars on his face and the hook he used for an arm were gone. “You look better today, Wayne,” I wanted to say. “And I am sure you are.” “Wouldn’t you know,” I thought. “They made him up to look so much better than he did when he was alive.” Well, not quite. His high school graduation picture stood among the flowers, some of which Augsburg sent. He looked — well, like any ordinary proud, graduating high school senior looks, I guess. Wayne did not have it easy as a student. It took him seven years including summers to finally get through. But he got by on drive, perseverance and a whole heap of support fiom Augsburg faculty, staff and students. He taped all the lectures, discus- sions and books. Between classes and long into the evenings he could be found sitting in “Melander‘s Corner" in the old Chin-Wag cafeteria listening to his tapes: He would cheerfully and eagerly break for conversation with all who chose to stop by and acknowledge their presence. Shortly after graduating from Augsburg he developed leukemia. He lived a solitary life at the Veterans Home in south Minneapolis. When Tom Birmingham, an Augsburg volunteer, and I visited him, his favorite conversations were always about Augsburg. “Remember the time when . . . " and he’d recount some humorous incident . . . and laugh. “How are Arlene (Carlson) and Sonja (Elandt) (food service)? Are they still there?“ “Have you seen Gerasimo lately?" he would ask. “Did you know Norm Holen entered my sculpting work in a show last month?" Professor Holen had Wayne in his class and con- tinued tutoring him until his death. Of the last 22 years of his life, those seven at Augsburg College were clearly Wayne Melander’s finest. The minister at the funeral suggested that Wayne gave his life for his country. But his life and death should remind us all of the absolute insanity of this thing called “war.” It should also remind us that there are still caring communities — such as Augsburg College. All the way from President Anderson‘s ofl‘ice to the faculty, students, food service and plant services people — we tried. My friend, at least we did that. Editor's Note: The above article was edited from "Remembering Augsburg" in the student newspaper, The Echo. It was written by Vern Bloom, assis- tant professor of sociology and social work. Book by alumnus Published The Alban Institute has pub- lished a new book by Lutheran pastor William H. Roen, “The Inward Ear: A Sermon Evaluation Method for Preachers and Hearers ofthe Word.” Rev. Roen is a 1972 graduate of Augsburg College. Preaching pastors need critical instruments to analyze and evaluate their communication of the gospel, says Roen. His book is intended to promote a better communication by giving preachers and listeners a language for talking about sermons. Roen discusses these tools and provides sermons by Dietrich Bon- hoeffer, Handley Moule and Martin Luther King for readers to use in practicing and honing analytical listening skills. One reviewer called the book “. . . an important contribution to a much neglected sector of the homilet- ics field — the hearing of the ser— men.” The book is available for $7.95 plus $1.65 for postage and handling from the Alban Institute, Inc., 4125 Nebraska Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016-0999.
