Show morealumni focus by Jeroy Carlson Director of Alumni Relations TWIN CITY - SUBURBAN AUGSBURG CLUBS The Alumni Board of Directors has made the decision to establish Augsburg Clubs in the Twin City - suburban area. These clubs, 18 in number, have been arranged on the basis of postal zones and geograph- ical area. The use of postal zones will speed mailings to club members. Of our 5,747 alumni, approximate- ly 2,500 reside in the Twin City - Suburban area. It is important that Augsburg communicate its plans for the future to these people. It is just as important that the college knows the feelings of these alumni. The Augsburg clubs thus become a tool for a continuing dialogue between the college and its alumni. Progress has been made in six of the areas to date with two meetings having taken place. First an organ- izational meeting was held in each of the areas and then a full club meet- ing was held. In addition to choos- ing a name and electing a Steering Committee, several of the clubs have decided upon program topics and activ- ities for future meetings. Thse range from picnics and outings to discussions on college admission pol— icy. (A list of the Augsburg Clubs by zone may be found under "Items of Interest" in this issue.) The feeling of the Steering Committee is to invite each alumnus ‘ in a particular area to become a mem— ? ber of the club. Each area club is 2 its own governing authority through its Steering Committee. The type of program and the frequency of meet- ings are determined by each club through the Steering Committee. Each club determines the manner in which it will aid and support Augsburg Col- lege. After the Twin City - Suburban clubs have been established, we plan to form Augsburg Clubs throughout the state and eventually the entire country. The Augsburg Clubs as well as Augsburg College have an exciting future. We plan regular reports on their growth. items of interest BON VOYAGE CONCERT The Augsburg Choir will present a Bon Voyage Concert at the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre on Sunday, May 16, at 8 PM. As you know, the Choir and a group of almost 60 associates de- part June 2 for five weeks in Europe and Scandinavia. Persons who attend the concert will have the opportunity of sending messages and greetings to relatives which will be delivered by the Choir members. Here is a fine opportunity to renew an acquaintance with a rel- ative or friend in Norway or Copen- hagen and hear a fine concert. Tickets for the concert are on sale at Dayton's ticket office or the Public Relations Office at Augs- burg. Prices are $2.50, $2.00 and $1.50.

Show morealumni focus by Jeroy Carlson Director, Alumni Relations We have changes being made every day on the new buildings. The Urness Tower Residence for Wo— men has reached the eleventh and final floor. The College Center has brick added to the solid sur- faces and it is enclosed and work progresses indoors. To start a day right sets the tempo for another day of work. Each day I drive past these build- ings as I come to work, and because I know how much these facilities will mean to our college, and noting that a little more progress is made each day on them, I get a certain lift which makes my day be- gin "right". In the February Newsletter you had two photographs of the new buildings. The picture of the Col- lege Center shows a balcony facing Murphy Square. This balcony is the location of the ALUMNI LOUNGE men- tioned in the January Contact News— letter. If you have these last two issues of the newsletter, look them over again and then let me empha- size this thought — the alumni will have a designated special lounge in the new Augsburg College Center. Every year we have had a spec— ial annual appeal through Phono— rama. Many alumni have partici- pated and we feel this vehicle of contact helps our alumni program tremendously. We need identity many times, a special emphasis on something. Well, we have that em- phasis to which you can identify with a gift or contribution. The special Phonorama emphasis this year is the ALUMNI LOUNGE. The designation of this lounge for alumni is due to the dedicated support of alumni in the past. The entire lounge cost was set at 2 $50,000, of which about $30,000 has been assigned to the Alumni Lounge. The challenge before us is to endeavor to provide sufficient funds to complete this "special em- phasis" on our Alumni Lounge. The Alumni Board feels that alumni care enough to give their very best and thus, this Phonorama appeal is made to you. You will receive a letter with complete details on Phonorama. It will be conducted as in the past with a pre-Phonorama letter and en— velope sent to you for your conve- nience. The cutoff date on long distance Phonorama return letters will be April 15. April is Alumni month or Phonorama month. The Alumni Lounge emphasis Phonorama is scheduled for the last two weeks in April. The Alumni Lounge awaits your visit next fall. We encourage you to be a visitor, but also be a con- tributor. items of interest EUROPEAN TOUR INTEREST GROWS There is still space available on the Augsburg European tour which leaves New York City July 17.

We are particularly interested in original letters hand—written (before the day of carbon copies) by our first presidents: August Weenaas, Georg Sverdrup, Sven ofte- dal, and George Sverdrup; diaries, biographical sketches, and memoirs of former Aungurg faculty members and students, if they reflect life at our school. We also keep on file pictures of Augsburg people, but these are of value only if they are identified and preferably dated. Please contact us before you throw away any such old docu- ments. Getting ready for our Centen- nial in 1969 has made us acutely a— ware of the necessity of preserving all materials which tell the story of Augsburg.

Show more' alumni focus by Jeroy Carlson Director, Alumni Relations With the Capital Campaign effort having been made to contact as many alumni as possible, we have some pert- inent information to pass along. Alumni in all categories of giving are approximately at the $95,000 level. There are quite a number of cards not yet completed as vacations and other problems have caused contacts to be delayed. At the time of this writing we are $460,000 along the way to the $1,050,000 goal. Now, what conclusions can be drawn from this inclusive alumni contact? 1) It is heartening to see alumni contribute such an amount over and 32223 the current program for devel— opment. Every college has to have the continuing support for the normal running of the college, but when alumni are challenged to give beyond this point - and you did - it increas- ingly quickens the pulse—rate. 2) Many alumni gave for the first time because something significant was being done. Buildings do not a college make. But when progress is being made, it is always a challenge to be a part of change and improve— ment. 3) Identity with Augsburg seems to be picking up prestige in the hearts and minds of alumni. You can change your job, church, address, but you cannot change your Alma Mater. It remains a definite mark on your identity. All of us want to be ident- ified with something that is good. Augsburg is emerging toward having the facilities she must have. Our gradu— ate product is one we can be proud of; our campus, our faculty will help serve for a proud identity. 4) Augsburg can be what her al— umni want her to be, but ALL ALUMNI must be a part of this effort. There 2 is not much satisfaction in saying 22 when asked to be a part of a campaign, then to see it material- ize and know that you sat on the sidelines and did not participate. With ALL ALUMNI, and we are not large in numbers (3,984 graduates, 6,000 on our mailing list), wanting Augsburg to be an excellent school, we can make Augsburg what alumni want her to be. It will take what- ever financial aid and interest in the college as a whole each of us can give to her. In my visits with alumni, I witness much interest expressed concerning academic improvement and the new curriculum of the college. Questions asked about the new facilities, where they will be located and how they will serve the college, show needed interest in the college. with academic and physical improvements at the college, it is indeed most satisfying to tell alumni that Christian emphasis remains the center and core of a youth's education at Augsburg. items of interest "YOU'LL WANT TO STAY..." Saturday, October 22 is 'Alumni Day' at Augsburg. "Every day is Alumni Day at Augsburg College," said Jeroy Carlson, director of alumni rela- tions, "but this one day is always very special.

The Choirs from all Lutheran churches in the Twin City area have been invited to join in forming a 1,000 plus voice choir for this performance.

Reimer had rounds of 40—39 for a 79, two strokes better than Stan Nelson ('43), football coach at Anoka high school. ALUMNI "A" CLUB CITES EDOR, ERNIE Edor Nelson and Ernie Anderson received framed certificates of ap— preciation from the Alumni "A" Club at the organization's golf tournament in June. Both coaches were cited for their devotion to athletics at Augs— burg for the past twanty years. GRIDDERS OPEN AT RIVER FALLS Edor Nelson's twentieth edition of Augsburg football opens Sept. 10 at River Falls, Wis. The first home game for the Auggies will be Sept. 17 when Eau Claire State comes to town. "We won't be a pushover for any- one," warned Nelson. Returning are 32 lettermen led by co-captains Joel Nyquist and Mark Sandbo. Sandbo was named to the all-conference team last year at guard and Mike Anderson will return to his all-loop linebacker spot. The defense appears sound with the likes of Nyquist, Sandbo, Ander— son and other standouts. Nelson's major task will be finding offensive halfbacks.
