Show moreYES, YOU CAN AFFORD AUGSBURG COLLEGE Frightened by the figures given for the cost of an edu- cation at a college like Augsburg? Many parents of prospective students are, and they dismiss the idea summarily with the statement, “We can’t afford to send our son or daughter to Augsburgl.” Let me ask you to consider t e positive proposition instead: “You can afford Augsburg College," and then attempt to substantiate it. Granted the cost, at first glance in the catalog, appears to many to be prohibi- tive, but to simply dismiss the matter on the grounds of it being too expensive is not to give consideration to all the facts. The over-all charges for the year at Augsburg are more reasonable than those at many comparable pri- vate colleges. A conscious effort has been made at Augs- burg to keep costs down, and thus within the reach of most of our constituents, without impairing the quality of the education offered. Compare the costs at similar institutions with those at Augsburg, and keep in mind the advantages a metropolitan institution, and I do not believe you will be dismayed with your findings. The true financial need of a prospective Augsburg student is determined confidentially and objectively not by the college but by the College Scholarship Service of Evanston, Illinois. This service, using the Parents’ Con- fidential Statement, provides the realistic need figure arrived at by the comparison of a family’s actual re- sources and the student’s actual costs. It should be said in all candor that no family is truly able to judge its ability to send a student to Augsburg until this evalua- tion has been made. An enlarged program of scholarships and other fi- nancial aids is in effect at Augsburg. Based on need and scholastic ability, these scholarships materially reduce the student’s expenses. What is more, most of these scholarships are renewable if a satisfactory aca- demic record is maintained. Special scholarships through certain government-sponsored programs are available for students from low income families. A generous loan program at Augsburg also assists our students. A college education is one of the most valuable investments a person can make during his life- time. An education at a private, liberal arts, Christian college is even more worthwhile over the succeeding years. The realization is growing that to borrow for such an investment makes as much sense as borrowing for a home, especially when the interest rates are as insig- nificant as they are in the case of college loan programs. Employment during college days is still fashionable and even with the increased academic pressure, stu- dents are doing very well through on-campus and off- campus work to bolster their financial resources. Because of employment opportunities, both during the school year and during vacation periods, Augsburg’s metropoli- tan location puts its students in a most advantaged position. And many of the jobs held by our students have educational as well as financial value, in terms of new contacts, new experiences and new opportunities. The Guaranteed Tuition Plan at Augsburg, in addi- tion to a new comprehensive charge for all board and room arrangements, contribute to a more realistic and reliable estimate of actual college costs for all four years in school. When all of these factors have been carefully as- sessed, it is my conviction that interested parents will find they can afford to send their student to Augsbur . The financial profile of our students’ families wou d show our students coming from the entire range of economic backgrounds. The biggest question is not, “Can we afford Augsburg,” but rather, “Do we really want the kind of education Augsburg provides?” If your answer to that question is affirmative, then I can answer the first question. “Yes, you can afford Augsburg College.” Oscar A.

Show moreCHURCH CAMPAIGN SEEKS CAPITAL FUNDS “In the classrooms of today the ideas that shape to- morrow are being thought and taught. Here the people who will guide our destiny are forming their minds and adopting their convictions. It is the conviction of the Church that in these places where men are doing the thinking, the dreaming, the studying, GOD SHOULD 3 NOT BE ABSENT.” These are the words of Dr. Morris Wee, general 1 chairman of the Lutheran Ingathering For Education ‘ (LIFE) effort of the American Lutheran Church. Dr. Wee, on leave of absence from his duties as senior pas- tor of Central Lutheran Church, Minneapolis, is chair- man of the first united effort of the ALC seeking to raise more than $20 million for the colleges, seminaries, high schools and campus ministry of the Church. LIFE grew out of a resolution presented at the gen- eral convention of the ALC in 1964. The convention authorized and requested the joint council of the Church to take action to initiate plans through which more ade- quate capital funds might be provided for the Church’s program in higher education. In addition to raising $20 million, the LIFE drive seeks to strengthen the Church’s sense of unity and awaken the membership of the ALC to a strong sense of appreciation for and responsibility to the Church’s educational institutions and ministry. LIFE will also seek to create, among members of the academic community of the ALC. a deeper sense of concern for and responsibility to the Church of which they are an educational arm. Distribution of the funds received in the Ingathering will be divided proportionately among the institutions involved. When the goal of more than $20 million is reached, each campus will have a new, major teaching facility as a tangible evidence of the strong relationship between Church and school. The Rev. Richard Holy, director of church relations, Augsburg College, is one of five area directors in the South Central Division. (For the LIFE effort, the United States is divided into four geographical divisions. each with a full-time director in charge. Norman Fintel, executive director of the ALC’s Board of College Educa- tion, is director of the South Central Division.) In his role as area director, Mr. Holy is coordinating the efforts of 48 group coordinators in their outreach to 240 congregations in the Northern Wisconsin Dis— trict of the ALC. He is on a six and one-half month leave of absence from Au sburg. “The success of t c drive,” said Mr. Holy, “will de- pend not only upon my efforts and the efforts of those in similar positions. but on the work, prayers. support and cooperation of all the members. pastors and friends of the American Lutheran Church. Augsburg is one of the Church’s 11 senior colleges, two junior colleges, three seminaries and two high schools. as well as cam- pus ministry which will gain tremendously from this effort. We seek the whole-hearted support of congrega- tions of the American Lutheran Church and alumni and friends of Augsburg College to this end.” Show less

Noonan AUGSBURG'S NEWEST DEPARTMENT (A statement by Dr. Myles C. Stenshoel. associate professor and chairman of the Department of Political Science, estab- lished in 1966. Dr. Stenshoel is in his second year at Augs- burg. Also a clergyman of the American Lutheran Church, his special interests as a political scientist include the areas of political theory and constitutional law.) We need not cavil with Aristotle’s assertion that man is, by nature, a “political animal." In the American set- ting, at least, everyone is inevitably involved in politics, if only the politics of default. What we don’t know about politics can hurt. And if we try to keep aloof from politics, the decision to do so is itself a political decision, affecting for better or worse the scope and direction of public policy. If politics is inevitable, it is also of crucial importance in our day when, in crowded interdependence, we have committed to government a primary role in mediating our conflicts, in educating our children, in providing our security, in undergirding our economy, and in stimulating our research. There is, today, little chance for escape to our private Waldens; increasingly the bar- rier between “public” and “private” is dissolving as gov- ernmental decisions establish both the major opportuni- ties for and limitations upon "private" choice. Whether the problem is Vietnam, crime in the streets, conquest of poverty, metropolitan planning, or freedom of wor- ship, the solution of the problem, if there is to be one, will ultimately be political. And the failure to solve the problem will be a political failure. Augsburg’s decision to establish a Department of P0- litical Science and to offer a major in the field reflects an acute faculty awareness of the centrality of political decision. Even more, it is a recognition of the com- plexity of the processes and institutions through which public policy is created. Departmental offerings are responsive to the need for mature understanding of the political dimension. Courses probe the policy roles not only of Congress and the Presidency, but also of parties and interest groups, of judges and bureaucrats, of states and of the nearly 100.000 smaller units — all of which interact to form our “web of government.” Other courses deal with the critical problems of foreign affairs and international politics. Augsburg has been fortunate to secure the expertise of a specialist in this area, Dr. Norma C. Noonan, whose studies abroad have included a year in the Soviet Union, as well as briefer periods in the United Kingdom and Sweden. That politics is inevitable, crucially important, and increasingly complex — these qualities alone would have justified the emphasis which the college is now placing upon its newest major. But at Augsburg there is an additional imperative, associated with its understanding of the redemptive role of the Christian Church in so- ciety. As our graduates make their impact upon their world — as lawyers and legislators, as bureaucrats and businessmen, as voters and citizens — it is not enou h that they be “guileless as doves.” They must also e realists, knowing and practicing the art of the possible and the uses of power that comprise the world of poli- tics. For politics is the price of social peace and progress. It is not, after all, a high price. It requires us neither to abdicate nor to contradict the ancient imperatives, but to comprehend them in the context of contemporary realities. For to say, "Blessed are the peacemakers,” is implicitly also to say, “Blessed are the politicians.” Show less

Show moreF NEW ARTIST IN RESIDENCE EYES WORLD THROUGH LENS OF THE MOVIE CAMERA If David \Vestphal isn't in Hong Kong. or Bombay. or Tokyo. or filming the Sunday afternoon mayhem of a Minnesota Vikings football game. you might find him in his new office at Augsburg College where he has recently been named artist in residence. It isn‘t that the peripatetic Westphal isn’t tending to business. He is. His work as a cinematographer fre— quently takes him to exciting places throughout the world. But when he isn’t focusing a movie camera on a potentate in Punjab. he now might be found exploring a new idea with Augsburg students and faculty and helping to establish a way of communicating ideas in the field of motion pictures. His appointment reflects the Augsburg Department of Arts recognition of cine- ma as an increasingly important medium of the fine arts. Westphal‘s activity which takes him abroad is as a cinematographer with Hardy-Kotis 8L Associates. Inc.. New York. who produce films for educational television and classroom use. In addition to this activity, for the past five years Westphal has been cameraman in charge of filming all games for the coaches of the Minnesota Vikings football team. Augsburg people who knew Westphal during his days as an Augsburg student in the early 19505. say he was “born with a camera in his hand.” Since leaving Augsburg he has concentrated more and more in the motion picture field. but his skill with a still camera will be displayed May 1-26 when his artistic impres- sions of India may be viewed in a one-man photography exhibition in the Faculty Lounge. Westphal becomes the second artist in residence of the Department of Art which is chaired by Philip J. Thompson. August Molder. who designs and produces faceted stained glass windows and who paints prolifi- cally. was named the first artist in residence in 1963. Both men are self-sustaining artists. but are given studio space at Augsburg with the requirement that they sche- dule one annual event centered around their work. Molder held his paintings and prints exhibit last fall. The appointment of Westphal will undoubtedly give added impetus to one of Augsburg’s newer departments. Since a major in art was first offered in the fall of 1964. student interest in this field has grown considerably. There are 12 seniors majoring in art and during the cur— rent academic year, over 300 students will have taken at least one art course. In addition to Chairman Thomp- son. the art faculty includes Norman Holen who spe- cializes in sculpture. All men of the department have received widespread recognition within their area of specialty through one-man shows and other honors. Next fall. the department will move from its Riverside Avenue building to different quarters. “The Studio." constructed near Melby Hall in 1963 as a temporary location of a student center. was so named because it was planned ultimately for the Department of Art. \Vith the completion of the new Augsburg College Center in September. the Department of Art will be able to claim its building.

Show more‘ EXCAVATIONS BY DISTINGUISHED ALUMNUS HELPS GREEK TRADITION PASS INTO HISTORY The dean of American archeologists. who has been characterized by the New York Times as “America’s greatest prehistorian," recently visited his alma mater. Augsburg College. on the eve of his 80th birthday. When Dr. Carl \V. Blegen ('04) visits the Augsburg campus, he also visits the place of his birth. His father. John H. Blegen. taught Greek and German at Augsburg from 1885 to 1916 and the family home stood on land that is now the site of Science Hall. Other members of the distinguished Blegen family include Dr. Theo- dore Blegen ('10). dean emeritus of the University of Minnesota graduate school. Dr. Carl \V. Blegcn is responsible for some of the most revealing excavations of ancient Greece ever made. For his achievements in his field he was named about a year ago to receive the first gold medal presented by the Archeological Institute of America. Much of his life since the year 1910 has been spent in Greece. He was associated with the American School of Classical Studies (Athens) in various capacities from 1913 to 1927 when he became Professor of Classics with the University of Cincinnati. In 1950 he was named chairman of the Classics Department at Cincinnati and served in this capacity until his retirement in 1957. But the 80-year-old Blegen can hardly be called “re- tired.” The first part of a projected four-volume series on “The Palace of Nestor at Pylos in Western Messenia." was recently published for the University of Cincinnati by the Princeton University Press. Dr. Blegen is collaborating on the series with Miss Martha Rawson. an archeological colleague with whom he worked earlier on a monumental 11-volume work dealing with the results of University of Cincinnati excavations at Troy from 1932 through 1938. But it is probably the discovery of Nestor's Palace at Pylos for which they are IJest known. and which made the greatest contribution to knowledge of ancient Gre- An artist’s reconstruction of the Court of Megaron. cian history and culture. For hundreds of years. scholars and scientists had puzzled over whether or not the fabled King Nestor. as recounted by Homer. had really existed. and. if so. where his kingdom was located. After surveying many possible sites. Dr. Blegen in 1939 started a trial excavation on the summit of a hill called Englianos in western Mcssenia. The first trench revealed hundreds of clay tablets bearing a script called “linear B." the first found on the Greek mainland. Later finds included tablets on which the word "Py- los" appeared and confirmed that the trench had cut through the archives room - or “office of the director of internal revenue." as Dr. Blcgen jokingly calls it — of the royal palace. There was no doubt that King Nestor had passed from Greek tradition into history. The palace had been destroyed by fire at the end of the thirteenth century 8.0. and was never reoccupied. Thus it had lain for more than 3000 years in ruins. cov» ered by rubble and vegetation. Dr. Blegcn admits to a little impatience in awaiting public distribution of the new book. But he says. smil— ingly and philosophically. that when dealing with ob- jects as old as Nestor’s Palace. “a few weeks make little difference.” The excavation there is about complete. he reports. although three additional tombs were uneartliered last summer. And the University of Cincinnati areheologist who has received honorary degrees from many univer- sities. now devotes most of his time to studying and writing in his Athens home at .9 Plutarch Street. Volume two of the new series is now nearly ready to go to press. Dr. Blegen said. and he is working on the third. “\Vriting is a chore." he said. “but it has to be done. It is the penalty archeologists must pay for the fun of excavating.” .—, I Show less
