historical sketch
Augsburg was begun as a seminary in
1869, at Marshall, Wisconsin. It was the
first theological school founded by
Norwegian Lutherans in America. Through
an arrangement with a private institution
known as Marshall Academy, the
Seminary was at first housed in the
academy building. Students who needed
further preparation in academic subjects
were to obtain this in the academy. In the
autumn of 1872 Augsburg Seminary was
removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where
a building had been erected for its use. In
the same year the school was incor~orated
under theVlawsof Minnesota. Its Gm was
to train ministers for the Lutheran
congregations which were being organized
in growing numbers in the pioneer
settlements that were spreading rapidly
over the Northwest.
The College was established when it
became evident that in order to get
students who were adequately prepared for
theological study a college department was
needed. In 1874 a curriculum was planned
which provided for one year of preparatory
studies and four years of college work
along two lines, a classical course to
prepare students for theology, and a
scientific course to prepare for other
professions. The first college students were
enrolled in 1874 and the first class was
graduated in 1879.
In 1900 a high school course covering
three years was established which in 1910
was expanded t o a standard four-year
course. This was discontinued in 1933. In
the years 1916-1919 the college course was
thoroughly revised. As a result of this
and of subsequent growth, the earlier
classical course was greatly modified and
supplemented by social and scientific
studies and a more general emphasis upon
the study of the humanities. In recent years
there has been continuous study and
modification of the curriculum including
G E NERAL
INFORMATIOR
the introduction of a number of new majors to meet the
developing needs of the students. The divisional organization
was adopted in 1945. At the present time 26 majors are
offered.
Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1922.
In February, 1963, with the merger of the Lutheran Free
Church into The American Lutheran Church, Augsburg College
became affiliated with the latter church body. At the close
of its ninety-third academic year, in the spring of 1963,
Augsburg Theological Seminary merged with Luther
Theological Seminary, St. Paul, one of the seminaries of the
merged church.
Seven presidents have served Augsburg during the course
of its history:

aims and objectives
IJ Augsburg College is a Christian liberal arts college of The
American Lutheran Church. The faculty and the Board of
Regents of the college affirm the following as their understanding of the aims, philosophy, objectives and character
of this institution.
Ultimate Aims
To contribute t o the true good of human life and society.
To contribute to the building of free and living congregations in the community of the Christian Church.
Basic Philosophy
The Christian message concerning the redemptive act d
God in Christ constitutes the greatest potential for good in
human life and society; but this potential is realized only
insofar as it is actualized in the minds and hearts of individuals.
The redemption of the mind constitutes the unique educational task laid upon the Christian Church; in seeking t o
relate all learning to the truth of the Christian faith, the
Christian college performs its greatest service both to the
Church and to society.
Where there is an atmosphere of free and honest inquiry, truth
has the overwhelming advantage; the Christian college, therefore, pursues its purposes not by indoctrination or coercion,
but by inviting teachers and students to join in a common
search for truth and in a common attempt to see all truth
in relation to ultimate Truth.
Primary Objectives
To attract to the college students of high ability and genuine
religious concern who can reap the maximum benefit from a
program of Christian higher education.
To provide a campus setting that is conducive to the spiritual,
mental, moral and physical well-being of its students.
To stimulate its students' intellectual interest, and to assist
them to develop the habits and skills necessary for sound
academic work.
To acquaint its students with the spiritual, cultural and intellectual riches of mankind, both for the sake of the enrichment
of their own lives and, through them, for the enrichment of
their homes and communities.
To lead its students to a deeper understanding and experience
of the Christian Gospel in its relation to every area of life
and learning.
To aid its students in discovering and clarifying their peculiar
aptitudes and interests, and to provide training and counsel
that will assist them in preparing for a life work appropriate
thereto.
F
To aid its students in the development of Christian attitudes
and Christian qualities of character; and to encourage each
student to look upon his life as a Christian vocation, and an
opportunity for service to God and man.
Distinctive Character
Augsburg College is a Christian community of life and learning.
As a Christian academic community, Augsburg seeks that
high level of excellence which is appropriate to such a community.
Augsburg treasures its religious and cultural heritage as an
institution founded by Lutheran immigrants from Norway who
sought to play a creative role in American life and society,
and seeks to preserve the enduring values of this heritage in
the life of the college community today.
the alumni association
The Augsburg Alumni Association has as its goal to enable
graduates and former students to maintain effective contact
and cooperation with one another and with their Alma Mater.
The annual meeting is held a t Commencement time each year.
Local Augsburg clubs are promoted. The affairs of the Association are under the leadership of the Board of Directors.
The Alumni Office is located in the Art Building on Riverside
Avenue.
the physical plant
Instructional facilities and student housing at Augsburg
are conveniently located in relation to each other.
Old Main, erected in 1900, contains a large number of
classrooms and offices.
Science Hall, erected in 1948-49, includes the general administration offices; well-equipped laboratories for chemistry,
physics, biology and home economics; the bookstore; a
medium-sized auditorium; and several classrooms and faculty
offices. A Tower Prayer Chapel is located on the fourth floor.
The Lisa Odland Observatory, on the roof of Science Hall, was
completed in the summer of 1960.
The George Sverdrup Library, named in honor of Augsburg's
fourth president, was erected and dedicated in 1955. Adjacent
to Science Hall and of similar contemporary architectural design, it contains spacious reading rooms, seminars, work rooms,
a visual-education center, the Augsburg Archives, classrooms,
and a number of faculty offices. There is stack space for approximately 100,000 volumes.
Si Melby Hall, the new auditorium-gymnasium, was completed
in 1961. This building, named in honor of Professor J. S. Melby,
dean of men from 1920 to 1942, basketball coach and head of
the Christianity department, provides excellent facilities for
the health and physical education program, intercollegiate
athletics, chapel services and general auditorium purposes.
The Music Hall was acquired by purchase in 1947 and has been
remodeled to serve the needs of the music department.
The Speech and Drama Building was acquired in 1959 and remodeled to make an extremely functional building for dramatic
and other speech activities.
The Art Building was acquired in 1963 and remodeled to
provide excellent space for the art program. It has one large
classroom and studio and laboratory facilities for drawing,
painting, and sculpture in the rooms on the ground and first
floor. The second floor of the building houses the Development
Offices.
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memoriol Hall
Gerda Mortensen Hall
Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, is a dormitory affording living quarters for about 130 men. On the ground
floor of this building is the college cafeteria and dining hall.
Gerda Mortensen Hall, erected in 1955, provides housing for
about 175 women students, as well as apartments for the
resident head and her assistant. The dormitory incorporates
the former Sivertsen Hall, remodeled as a wing of the larger
dormitory.
Miriam, Edda, Epsilon, Kappa, Omega, Sigma, Iota, Lambda,
Omicron, Zeta, and Theta are small dormitory houses, each
accommodating from 8 to 20 women students.
The President's Home, an attractive colonial residence, is
located on the West River Road.
A large number of dwellings have also been acquired in recent
years in the expanded campus area, and are in use for faculty,
staff, men students, and married student housing.
the archives
The Augsburg Archives seeks to gather and make available
for use documents, books, and other articles of historical value.
The George Sverdrup Library provides adequate, fire-prod
quarters for the archives. Here are found a large collection of
periodicals, manuscripts, letters, and pictures, affording
extensive resources for scholarly research.
library facilities
The beautiful and spacious George Sverdrup Library
provides a central study-workshop for both faculty and
students. It contains about 50,000 volumes, exclusive of
pamphlets, and is adding approximately 5000 new volumes
each year. Students and faculty working in either of the two
large reading rooms find the atmosphere conducive to quiet
study and research materials close at hand. All books are
kept on open shelves. Reference service, provided by an able
and well-trained staff, is available to students.
Special collections have been developed in the Music Library,
the Chemistry Library, the Curriculum and Library Science
Libraries, and in the Audio-Visual Center. Additional
conveniences include conference rooms for larger groups or
small classes. A typing corner is provided in the first floor
reading room.
The library subscribes to about 410 of the best periodicals
dealing with a large variety of subjects, as well as a number
of serials devoted to the interests of special fields. Current
issues are displayed in a pleasant browsing area.
The library plays an active role in promoting general reading,
presenting regular book displays, and sponsoring monthly
book discussions for faculty, staff, and students.
In the Twin City area are other libraries which make their
holdings available to Augsburg students, notably, the St. Paul
and Minneapolis publi,c libraries, the latter of which issues
library cards to out-of-town students for each school year.
natural science laboratories
The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the
Science Hall. Three laboratories and storeroom and office
space for Biology are located on the second floor; three larger
laboratories and two special research laboratories for
Chemistry and two laboratories for Physics are located on the
third and fourth floors. A chemistry library is located near
the research facilities. Storerooms and faculty offices are also
located here.
P.' I
A considerable part of the income on
which Augsburg operates is derived from
endowment and from gifts. Therefore, the
fees charged the student do not constitute
the whole cost of his education, for he
enjoys the benefits of the gifts of those
who believe in and support the work of
the school.
guaranteed tuition plan
In order to assist students and parents
in planning ahead for tuition payments,
which are the major item of college
expense, Augsburg College offers a
Guaranteed Tuition Plan that fixes the
tuition cost for four years of college.
Freshmen enrolling in the fall of 1964,
who sign up for the plan, will have
their tuition cost guaranteed for eight
consecutive semesters a t a total cost of
$3,825 (average cost is $956.25 per year)
as follows:
The larger charges in the first two years
build up a reserve available for the last
two years. If the student on this plan
voluntarily withdraws, he loses his reserve.
If he is asked to withdraw, his reserve
will be refunded.
Those who do not elect t o sign up for the
Guaranteed Tuition Plan will be enrolled
in the fall of 1964 a t a tuition charge of
$450 per semester and at whatever level
the fee is set in subsequent years.

loan funds
18
Several loan funds have been established to assist students
in working out their financial problems. Loans may be
arranged a t a reasonable rate of interest for various periods
of time.
The General Student Loan Fund, established through the gifts
of many individual donors, is chiefly maintained by contributions from the Augsburg College Women's Club.
The Olaf Rogne Fund, established in 1954, extends assistance
t o students preparing for theological study.
The Charles and Nora Crouch Student Loan Fund, established
in 1954, extends assistance t o members of all classes.
The Senior Loan Fund, established by the class of 1955, is
available t o selected graduating seniors.
The John and Anna Jorgine Gregory Theological Student Loan
Fund is available to students who are preparing for the
ministry.
The Student Aid Fund of the Zion Lutheran Hour, established
by the Zion Lutheran Church of Minot, North Dakota, likewise extends loans to students preparing for the ministry.
National Defense Student Loans, established by the National
Defense Education Act of 1958, are available t o students
capable of maintaining good standing in their chosen course of
study. Special consideration is given to those students who
express a desire to teach in elementary or secondary schools
and t o those whose academic background indicates a superior
capacity for preparation in science, mathematics, engineering
or modern foreign languages.
United Student Aid Funds is a program of endorsing loans
made by local banks to college students requiring financial
assistance. A grant to the College by the Gamble and Skogmo
Foundations provided the funds t o establish the initial
reserves required.
Arrangements for the loans are made through a conference
with the Dean of Students, chairman of a faculty committee
on student loans. In addition to arranging loans, the committee
counsels students on financial matters with the objective in
mind of helping the student work out a satisfactory plan for
his finances.
scholarships and prizes
Fifty Freshman Scholarships of varying amounts are available to outstanding high school graduates. Some of these

Many students find it possible to pay part of their college
expenses with money earned in this way. The types of work
available are of various kinds, including recreational leadership,
restaurant work, domestic service, sales work, and secretarial
and clerical work. The college is concerned that employment
not interfere with a student's academic work. Therefore, it is
desirable that Freshmen have sufficient funds to pay their entire
expenses for at least one semester. Part-time employment may
then be secured in accordance with the need of the student
and his ability to handle extra work.
Students are employed by the college in several areas. For
these positions preference is given to upper-class students who
have maintained a good scholastic average.
Assistance in obtaining summer employment is also provided
each spring by the Employment Service. Application for parttime or summer employment may be made in the Personnel
Office.

'
I.
The influences which mould life and
character on a college campus are of many
kinds. While the exercises of classroom,
laboratory, and library form the organizing
basis of college activity, they need to be
supplemented by other than academic
forces. These intangible but very real supplementary influences have much to do
with creating the spirit of an institution.
At Augsburg definite emphasis is placed
upon the maintenance of a wholesome
spirit of Christian community living.
Students are urged to give conscious
attention to this personal and spiritual side
of their development and thus contribute
toward the prevalence of a vital and happy
Christian atmosphere on the campus.
It is the earnest desire of those who direct
t - g the instituthe policies of A t ~ g . ~ h ~ lthat
tion may conslnntly I:e permeated by ail
atmosphere in which the qiresl for Truth
as it is in Christ is prayeiqfully rostercd
in each life.
All students are required to complete fourteen credit hours in courses offered in
Religion. 'l'liei~e are 1iurnerous voluntary
religious activities in which students are
encouraged to participate. Faith and Life
Week is helrl ~ w i c e each ycar. It is
assumed that every Augsburg student will
find a church home in Minneapolis and
attend its services regularly.
It is expected of each student that his life,
conduct, and influence, both on and off
campus, shall be worthy of a member of
a Christian College. Those who do not feel
drawn to this quality of life and to the
fellowship in which it is nourished should
not seek to be enrolled at Augsburg. A
truly Christian spirit and environment
must be the product of the united effort
and prayer of faculty, students, and
administration.
The Chapel Service
The heart of Augsburg's program of Christian education is the daily Chapel Service,
CAMPUS LIFE
where the faculty and students gather for united worship,
prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of God. Regular
attendance is expected of all students.
recreation standards and discipline
Introduction
At Augsburg all the work of the college rests on certain
Biblical affirmations about human nature and man's relation
to God. The college regards the Christian life as the truly significant life. This life implies an intimate relation to the person
of Christ. In the content of this primary relationship, the
Christian also lives in a relationship to people, to events, to
things. The fact that God not only created the world but
became Man gives evidence that life in this world is not to
be despised.
The Christian liberal arts college takes seriously these relationships and therefore seeks to educate the whole man. It
follows that one of its important responsibilities is to establish
recreational programs and policies that contribute to this end.
It should be clear, however, that in an age which is much
concerned with the pursuit of pleasure, a college like Augsburg
should never subordinate its academic program to leisuretime activities. On the contrary, the recreational program must
be in the context of, and be congruent with, the major intellectual quests of the college; and both must have as their goal
to help the individual to live an effectual Christian life in the
world.
The Program
In settirig up a recreational and social program, Augsburg is
conscious of its position as a coeducational Christian college
of liberal arts. The program takes into account the relationship between sexes and seeks to provide normal and healthy
opportunities for the expression of the mutual attraction of
the sexes. Augsburg offers a varied and selective recreational
and social program which gives preference to those activities
which are emancipatory rather than restrictive, those which
enrich community life rather than those which are divisive or
encourage selfish satisfactions.
The college provides a variety of activities designed to meet
these requirements. The social program includes a number of
organized all-school events combined with many lessstructured activities designed for specified smaller groups. In
attempting to meet the needs and interests of all Augsburg
students, we make use of all existing facilities on campus and
many of those which are available in the Twin City area.
In seeking to develop a constructive recreational program,
some limitations have been placed upon certain other activities.
The college is opposed to all forms of gambling. It forbids the
possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages in dormitories, in any college-approved place of residence, or a t any
college-sponsored event. Any student found under the influence of liquor is subject to disciplinary action. Social, or
ballroom dancing, is not a part of the recreational program of
the college. Students are encouraged to be discriminating in
all types of recreation in which they engage, that their time
may be well spent, and strong moral and ethical values may
be developed. Such common activities as television viewing
and movie-going, for example, can easily become time-wasting
and even detrimental to the development of moral and ethical
values.
Without attempting to dictate to the individual conscience,
the college regards it as its right to ask its students to adapt
themselves to the social program approved by the college and
to follow it as members of the college community. Although
the college lays down specific rules regarding most matters
only with respect to activities centering on the campus, it
reserves the right to dismiss any student whose continuation
in college is deemed undesirable for social as well as for academic reasons. It is the policy of the college that such action
shall not be taken capriciously, but only after the available
campus resources of counseling and judicial processes have
been utilized. Thus, disciplinary problems are first dealt with
through counseling. Those not solved in this way are channeled to a faculty-student Judicial Council through the Office
of the Dean of Students. In all such cases, careful investigation
and the privilege of a hearing precede any disciplinary action.
religious program
The Religious Life Commission, composed of students and
faculty, endeavors to promote a religious program that will
stimulate growth of Christian life in the Augsburg community.
Chairman of this council is the student Commissioner of
Religious Activities. Areas for which this committee carries
primary responsibility are the Mid-Week services, Faith and
Life Weeks, prayer meetings, and informal group meetings and
discussions.
This Commission also serves as a coordinating agency for all
voluntary Christian organizations on campus. The principal
organization is the Student Christian Association. The SCA
seeks to serve as a stimulus and outlet for Christian faith
and life. Students participate in regional and national Lutheran Student Association of America Conferences, and conduct a
schedule of meetings on campus.
The Mission Society, the service organization of SCA promotes
interest in missions through a program of study, fellowship,
worship, and service. A highlight of the year is the Mission
Festival, a conference devoted to the study of missionary activity and recruitment of workers.
convocation
Regular convocations are held each Thursday throughout
the year. These programs acquaint the campus community
with outstanding personalities in various fields. A wide range
of interests is covered, including the scientific, political, social,
religious, and artistic.
social and recreational activities
Students at Augsburg are given many opportunities for
social training and recreation. The Student Council through the
Commissioner of Social Activities, assisted by a Programming
Commission, sponsors a wide variety of activities each month
and an all-school activity which all students may attend. Most
of these are informal. The Sophomore and Junior classes
sponsor semi-formal banquets. The Associated Women
Students and a number of other organizations sponsor teas,
dinners, and social affairs on and off campus.
Music and the Fine Arts
Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique
opportunities to make use of some of the finest educational
and cultural advantages which the Northwest has to offer.
Excellent art collections are to be found in the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts and the Walker Art Center. The Twin City
libraries are extensive in their services. The Historical Museum
in St. Paul gives access to large collections of historical material. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra programs and
other concerts afford rich opportunity for the enjoyment of
music.
Many students and faculty attend Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra concerts by virtue of a special college season ticket
arrangement. Season tickets are available also for other University concerts and for drama productions a t the University
and Tyrone Guthrie Theaters.
A monthly bulletin, Augsburg Plus, listing programs, concerts,
a r t displays and exhibitions is compiled and issued from the
Student Personnel Office.
student government
The Student Society consists of all full-time and part-time
students enrolled a t Augsburg College.
The central concern of student government is focused on education to the end that individuals may develop their full
capabilities through intellectual growth. The student government relates to this broad objective by assuming responsibilities for furthering student affairs, educating members to the
democratic process, developing a sense of community, fostering intellectual activity, and participating in policy making.
The administration, under the direction of the president,
resides in the executive branch. The Executive Council consists
of six commissioners-each responsible to the president for
one of the major areas of student life. Eight boards also assist
him in his work.
The Student Council, presided over by the vice-president, is
the twenty member legislative branch of the government.
Each of the college classes has its own officers and participates
in student government through its representatives on the council.
The Judicial Council is a student-faculty judiciary, whose
rulings are subject to appeal only to the President of the
College.
The Student-Faculty Council, composed of students, administration and faculty, discusses campus problems, considers
legislation adopted by one group or the other which affects
the college as a whole, and promotes cooperation and understanding between the students, the faculty, and the administration.
The Student Society is a member of the National Student Association, the largest representative national union of students
in the United States. Through this organization the students.
receive programming aids for use on the campus, and add
their voice to the voice of all American students before the
national government and other organizations in matters of
student concern.
The Student Goyernment directs several projects of interest to
the college community. These projects include the annual OneAppeal Campaign, Leadership Training Workshops, Political
Action Week, Homecoming, Student Lecture Series, Academic
Freedom Week, College Union Study, and Development Council. Counseling of Freshmen by upper-class students is conducted through a College Brother-College Sister Program as a

Intercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The college is represented annually by teams
in football, basketball, hockey, wrestling, baseball, track,
tennis, and golf.
Purpose and Philosophy of Intercollegiate Athletics
It is the purpose of Augsburg College to provide an
intercollegiate athletic program which is in harmony with its
Christian philosophy. This philosophy is to be reflected in the
conduct and outlook of both the players and the spectators.
The educational program of the college recognizes that
recreation and play are a fundamental part of human life, and
that this phase of life needs to be cultivated if physical, mental,
and emotional health are to be maintained. Intercollegiate
athletics, as a phase of that program, gives recognition to the
fact that competitive play can contribute to the development
of student interests, skills, insights, and loyalties.
More specifically, the following outcomes are sought: (1) The
student participating in athletics should acquire and exhibit,
both in and out of athletics, such basic qualities of character
as self-discipline, honesty, sense of fair play, and cooperation.
(2) The participant should develop the knowledge, interests,
and skills which will be of special use to him in such vocations
as teaching and coaching or recreational leadership, or in his
own recreational activities. Far from being set apart from his
educational goal or in any way competing with it, the student's
participation in intercollegiate athletics must either contribute
directly to this goal or be complementary to his other educational activities. (3) The student spectator should acquire and
exhibit some of the finer qualities of Christian character, such
as self-restraint, sense of fair play, appreciation of high-grade
performance on the part of both opponents and fellow-students,
and respect for individual personality. (4) The intercollegiate
athletic program should contribute to the development
of a unified and healthy "school spirit." Enthusiasm for intercollegiate athletics or other co-curricular activities should not
overshadow pride in high scholastic achievement, nor can it
take the place of a well-rounded and effective intramural and
general recreational program.
eligibility requirements
In order to participate in certain extracurricular and
cocurricular activities, students must meet established
eligibility requirements.
Eligibility for participation in intercollegiate athletics is
governed by the rules of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference.
A student on academic probation is not eligible to be a candidate for any elected or appointed campus office including
Student Council, Commissions, class and organization offices,
nor is he eligible for cheerleading or student publication participation. This list is not inclusive and other activities may
be designated. The Chairman of the Election Board is responsible for checking the eligibility of all candidates for Student
Society and class offices with the Assistant Registrar. Organizations should submit names of candidates for office to the
Coordinator of Student Activities for approval.
A student on academic probation may not participate in the
Augsburg Choir or the Augsburg Band or in a major role in
a dramatic production without special permission from the
Committee on Admissions and Student Standing.

Omicron Chapter of Lambda Iota Tau, a national honor society,
is open to English majors who have attained a high scholastic
average and have presented a paper on a literary topic before

The purposes of the Timia Society, the Augsburg honor society,
are to recognize academic achievement and to promote
scholarship. Juniors and Seniors who have earned a 2.5 honor
point ratio accumulative are eligible for membership, while
Freshmen and Sophomores with a 2.25 honor point ratio may
be admitted as pledges. Applications for membership are made
a t the Registrar's Office a t the beginning of the semester in
which the student is eligible.
Augsburg has a Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu, the National Social
Science Honor Society, which is affiliated with the Association
of College Honor Societies. A high level of scholarship in the
social sciences is required for election to membership.
The Augsburg Guild of Honor is an organization to recognize
and honor those members of the senior graduating class who
have shown themselves to be individuals excelling to an outstanding degree in scholarship, leadership, and participation
in extra-curricular activities.
The Dean's List includes students who have achieved an honor
point ratio of 2.5 or better in the previous semester of work
at Augsburg College.
The 1925 Class Cup in Athletics is awarded to the athlete who
has made outstanding records both in athletics and in scholarship.
The Harold A. Johnson Trophy, presented by Gerald L. Johnson in 1943, is awarded annually to the student who is judged
to be the most valuable player on the basketball team.
The Class of 1918 Oratorical Cup was presented to the college
as a prize to arouse interest in oratory. The name of the winner of the annual contest is engraved upon the cup, which is

student personnel services
Institutional services to students are organized and
administered in accordance with plans and policies established
by the Student Personnel Committee. Included are such services as Admissions, Counseling, Testing, Freshman Orientation,
Student Records, The Student Health Service, Housing and
Food Service, Placement, Student Employment, and Coordination of Student Activities. The administration of these services is centered in the Office of the Dean of Students.
Admissions
Pre-college counseling, educational and vocational, is available
from qualified personnel in the Office of Admissions.
Counseling can be obtained either on campus or in schools and
homes as the counselors travel throughout the Upper Midwest.
Prospective students are encouraged to visit the campus if a t
all possible. Other information concerning admission and
entrance requirements can be found in another section of the
catalog.
Counseling
Counseling services are maintained in an effort to assist each
student to obtain the maximum benefits from the learning
experiences offered a t Augsburg College. Matters such as
uncertainty over vocational choice or educational planning,
religious uncertainty, health, financial problems, personal and
social adjustment and personal deficiencies can interfere with
the learning process and are dealt with in counseling sessions.
It is hoped that through counseling, students will develop more
realistic conceptions of themselves and the surrounding world,
and keener awareness of resources available to them as they
meet the problems of daily life.
At Augsburg the counseling process is carried on a t several
levels. All faculty members participate in the counseling
program, and each new student is assigned to a faculty
counselor who works with him until he chooses a major field
of study. At that time, the major adviser becomes his
counselor. In addition, there are faculty members who have
specialized training in counseling and techniques for dealing
with problems of adjustment. The Dean of Students and the
Dean of Women are special counselors to the men and women,
respectively. The counseling program is coordinated by the
Office of the Dean of Students in accordance with the plans
and policies established by the Student Personnel Committee.
Students who have personal problems are encouraged to seek
help through counseling conferences. If a serious problem
develops which demands professional skill and more time than
the professor has to spend in counseling, the student is
referred to the Office of the Dean of Students or Dean of
Women. A further referral may be made to the College
Chaplain, in the case of spiritual problems, or to the College
Physician, in the case of underlying emotional problems. The
College Physician works with the Personnel Deans in the
latter case.
Testing
All new students are given a battery of tests during Freshman
Days. College aptitude scores, English, and reading ability
scores are used by counselors to help students plan their
initial programs. Personal adjustment scores and the vocational
interest test profile help the students learn to know more about
themselves, in order to make the best choice of subjects and
occupational goals. The Sequential Tests of Educational Progress (STEP) are given to all sophomores. Seniors take the
graduate record examinations.
Freshman Orientation
Freshmen and other new students participate in Freshman
Days before the beginning of classes each semester. The
students take tests, attend classes, inspect the college
facilities, and become acquainted with their fellow students,
with the faculty, and especially with their own faculty
counselors. The faculty counselors and students have several
conferences during which they plan the student's program
of study.
A special course in improvement of reading is offered for
interested students. Freshmen who expect difficulty with the
increased quantity and complexity of the reading material encountered in college are especially urged to enroll in this
course.
Records
Individual student records are kept in the Records Office under
the supervision of the Registrar. These records include admission data, academic achievement, student participation and
achievement in non-academic activities, test scores, reports
of counseling and other information.
The Student Personnel Office maintains a file of student government officers, of clubs and societies, including the constitutions, activities, schedules, and membership rosters.
The Student Health Service
The Student Health Service provides dispensary service with
two registered nurses on duty. The college physician has daily
office hours for consultation and for emergency treatment.
Infirmary rooms are provided. The Health Service is located
in Fairview Hospital, adjacent to the campus.
Physical examinations are given to all seniors. Before registering, each entering student is required to have on file the
report of a physical examination given by his family physician.
Corrective treatment is prescribed where needed.
Students, faculty, and staff have chest X-rays taken annually
through the cooperation of the Hennepin County Tuberculosis
Association Mobile Unit.
Housing and Food Service
In its residence program, the college aims to develop in the
students Christian character, self-control, and thoughtful consideration of others. At the same time, the college realizes
that students' happiness, comfort, and emotional adjustment
in the residence halls are direct influences on their general
efficiency in the classroom.
In an effort to provide these opportunities for development
while maintaining optimal living conditions, active student
residence councils assume the responsibilities for the administration of dormitory life policies in consultation with the
Director of Residences for Women, the Head Residents, and
Personnel Deans.
Upper-class students serve as counselors in the residences and
attempt to help residents with problems of personal adjustment. The Head Residents and Personnel Deans serve as
resource people for these counselors and handle cases referred
to them.
All women students and freshman men students not living a t
home are required to live in college-operated housing. Students
desiring to reside in the city with relatives must first secure
approval for such an arrangement from the Student Personnel
Office. All students living in the residences and most students
in off-campus housing take their meals in the college dining
room. The college also provides two houses for women with a
cooperative house plan.
Residence halls are open to students a day before regular
schedules become effective, and they close a day after the
term closes. Students who wish to stay in residence during
vacations must apply for the privilege. Rooms are furnished
except for bed linen, towels, blankets, and bedspreads. Laundry
facilities are available in each residence. Bed linens and towels
may be rented with laundering service a t a reasonable cost.
This service is required of all women students in Gerda
Mortensen Hall. An optional linen service is available to other
students.
Students engage a room at the beginning of the fall semester
for the entire school year. Room reservations with deposit
of $25 are required of all single students. This deposit is
applied to the first semester's room rent. Rooms for new
students are assigned in the late summer according to the date
of application. Present students must make room application
prior to May 15 and submit the room deposit by July 15. After
May 15, reservations for present students are assigned on the
same basis as for new students. Students who find it necessary
to cancel their room reservation will receive full refund of the
deposit if the cancellation is received by August 1.
All men living in Memorial Hall are required to pay a $15
breakage fee a t the beginning of each school year. At the end
of the year the fee is refunded if the condition of the room and
the furniture is satisfactory.
Graduate Placement
The Placement Bureau assists seniors and alumni in securing
positions. Continuous contact is maintained with business,
governmental, welfare, and educational institutions and
organizations at the local as well as the state and national
levels. Jntervicws are arranged both on and off the campus. A
registration fee and a small placement fee are charged.
Student Employment
An employment service, located in the Student Personnel
Office, assists students in obtaining part-time remunerative
work during the school year, Christmas vacation, and summer.
Coordination of Student Activities
The Coordinator of Student Activities assists student officers
to maintain effective functioning of student activities, and
keeps on file the club constitutions, rosters, and schedules of
meetings. Faculty advisers to student organizations are
approved by the Coordinator.
The program of student activities is a primary responsibility
of the Executive Council and the Student Council which is the
legislative body of the Augsburg Student Society.
Liaison between the Student Society and Faculty and Administration is the function of the Student-Faculty Committee.
A weekly bulletin of events is prepared for the Echo by the
Student Personnel Office. The college Master Calendar is kept
by the Coordinator of Student Activities assisted by the chairman of the Commission on Student Organizations.

registration
Students who have been accepted for
admission should register on the days
designated in the Calendar for this
purpose. Those who register late are
charged a late registration fee of $1 per
day after classes begin. The last date on
which a student may register for or enter
a course is two weeks after the beginning
of classes.
Registration means that the student
accepts all the rules and regulations
established by the school.
No credit will be given a student for any
subject for which-he has not registered.
The college reserves the right to cancel
any course for which there is not sufficient
registration.
The normal registration is 16 credit hours.
A credit hour is defined as one recitation
period a week throughout a semester. The
privilege of registering for more than 18
credit hours is granted to students who
have gained an average record of B, or
two honor points per credit, in their previous college studies. Exceptions to this
rule may be made under certain conditions
determined by the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing. No student is
permitted to carry work for more than 20
credits per semester. Students working
part-time are urged to arrange the amount
of their registration accordingly.
change of registration

he makes application. Approval of the
teachers concerned, the student's adviser,
and the Registrar must be obtained before
a change is permitted. A fee of $1.00 is

after the first week of classes. No course may be added after
the first two weeks of classes.
A course which is cancelled during the first six weeks of
classes is followed by W. After the first six weeks and before
the last four weeks of the semester a course which is cancelled
is given a grade of WP if the student is passing and WF if he
is failing the course. No course may be cancelled during the
last four weeks of the semester.
A student who finds it necessary to leave school before the
end of a semester must cancel his registration at the Registrar's
Office in order to remain in good standing.
university courses
By arrangement with the University of Minnesota, students
may register for courses at the University. But such registrations will not be allowed unless the student has a C average
in his courses at Augsburg. Also, the combined number of
credits in any semester must not exceed 17. The credits thus
gained at the University may be transferred to Augsburg
College and counted towards graduation.
classification
In order to be classified in one of the regular college classes,
a student must be carrying a minimum of twelve hours of
work in which college credit is given. Classification is based
on the attainment of the following number of credit hours
together with an equal number of honor points: Sophomore, 24;
Junior, 58; Senior, 92. Students are classified by this regulation at the time of their registration each school year.
Students registered for less than 12 credits are classified as
special students.
pro bation and elimination
The Committee on Admissions and Student Standing at the
end of each semester, considers the status of students who
have done unsatisfactory work. Freshmen who obtain honor
point ratios of .5 or below, Sophomores .6 or below, Juniors
and Seniors .8 or below, as well as students with 6 or more
credits of F, at the end of a semester, are placed on probation.
They are removed from probation when they obtain better than
C average for a semester. A student is not allowed to remain
in college on probation for more than two semesters consecutively, except by special permission. He is dropped for low
scholarship if he fails to maintain a satisfactory scholastic
record.
F
class attendance
Regular class attendance is required of all students in Lower
Division Courses. Attendance in Upper Division Courses is
voluntary for Juniors and Seniors unless required by the teacher of the class.
In classes for which attendance is required, a record of
attendance is kept and periodic reports on absences are
submitted to the Registrar.
Students who find it necessary to be absent because of illness
or for other reasons should present to their teachers a written
report of the reason for absence. A student will receive a grade
of F if the number of absences for which he has not presented
acceptable excuses is excessive as defined by the instructor of
that class.
Absences for tours, field trips and other instructor-arranged
activities are cleared with the Dean of the College. Lists of
participants, with information as to exact periods absent, are
issued by the Dean to all instructors involved.
Teachers deal with tardiness as they see fit. Students arriving
in class late must assume responsibility for reporting their
presence to the teacher.
examinations
Tests are given periodically throughout the semester. In the
course of each semester, reports of the grades attained are
made to the Registrar who forwards them to the counselors
and students. Final reports are sent at the close of each
semester to the parents and students.
Written examinations are regularly scheduled at the close of
each semester. No student or class may arrange to take a final
examination in any course before the examination week.
Absence from a final examination without a sufficient reason
will result in a grade of failure in the course concerned. A
student who has to be absent from a final examination because
of a conflict with outside work from which he cannot obtain an
excuse, may arrange to take such an examination during some
period after the time on which the subject is scheduled.
If a student has obtained permission from the Dean of the
College to take a final examination a t another hour than that
scheduled, he is charged a fee of $5 for such an examination.
Before the student takes the examination, he must obtain a
statement from the Registrar's office and bring it to the teacher
concerned.
comprehensive examinations
Comprehensive examinations may be permitted in courses
in which the Committee on Admissions and Student Standing
believes the student has adequate preparation or background.
Students who wish to take a comprehensive examination must
apply in writing to this committee. When permission is
granted, the necessary approval forms may be secured at the
office of the Registrar. A fee of $5.00 ($10.00 for students not
currently enrolled) is charged for each credit hour and must be
paid in advance. Examination questions and the answers will
be filed in the Registrar's office.

Major in Sociology in Preparation for Social Work
A rapid expansion of the field of social work during the past
twenty years .has created an acute need for trained social
workers. Positions are available in public agencies on federal,
state, county, and municipal levels; in private agencies sponsored by churches or other community organizations; in group
work, case work, or community organization.
In response to this need, Augsburg College has developed a
curriculum designed to do two things: (a) equip graduates
for immedate employment in social work positions that do
not require post-graduate training, and (b) prepare students
for further study in graduate schools of social work.
Augsburg College is an active member of the Minnesota Conference on Social Work Education and the National Council
on Social Work Education. During recent years graduates of
Augsburg have secured positions in both public and private
welfare, in probation work, child welfare, group work and
case work.
The following courses are recommended for students interested in Social Work. The courses which are italicized should
be taken by all such students.
In consultation with the department head, students may obtain a sociology major without the social-work sequence.

High School Teaching
Each state sets certain requirements for obtaining a teacher's
certificate. The course outlined below satisfies the requirements
for a certificate for teaching in Minnesota a t the junior and
senior high school level. The same prgram will meet the demands set by most of the neighboring states. The student
should apply to the Department of Education for admission
t o the Education curriculum during his sophomore year. Admission will be determined by a committee on the basis of
scholarship and other qualifications. Except with special majors such as music, home economics, combined natural science,
and business education, students should usually prepare
for competency in at least two subject-matter fields in which
high schools offer work. Areas in which they may obtain
teaching majors or minors include English, German, Spanish,
French, speech, music, art, history, social science, business
education, home economics, biology, physics, chemistry,
natural science, mathematics and physical education. 'Minors
are also offered in Scandinavian language and literature,
political science and library science.

Home Economics
Work in the Department of Home Economics is intended to
equip students for the teaching of home economics in high
school, to prepare them $forhomemaking, and to give them the
first two years of the training required for such vocations as
dietetics, institution management, home economics and journalism, and home economics in business. Each student who
plans for a vocation in this field should consult members of
the home economics staff about the details of the program
when she begins her college work.
A curriculum for a home economics education major is given
below. A graduate who completes this curriculum qualifies
for certification by the Minnesota State Board for Vocational
Education to teach in federally-aided secondary school home
economics departments (Smith-Hughes) . Courses in italics
are not required for a general home economics major.

Augsburg Courses
Introduction t o Interim
I n t e r i m is an integral part of the schoolyear at Augsburg College.
The College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week~ a n u a r ~
Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both
students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and
to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible
during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should
plan to spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for
class as they would for a four-course load during Fall and Spring
semesters. Students can register for only one course credit during
Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not
to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale.
Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit
basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the P/N system;
this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division
standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the
student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous
grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35
courses of which at least three must be Interim courses (or one
Interim less than the number of years of full-time enrollment at
Augsburg; e.g., a transfer enrolled full time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation).
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis
of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or
handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and
employment practices.

23 international interims offcrcdby the Uppcr Midwest Association for lntcmationfll Education (U M AIE). Thcsc course opportuni ties arc listed near the cnd of this catalog.
Internships-January Interim internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an internship must meet departmental
requirements and present a signed internship learning agreement
plan to theInternshipOffice (Murphy Place, Rm. 8) no later than the
last day of Fall classes (Friday, December 8). The Learning Agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during
Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately
4 weeks. Assistance for planning your internship is available in the
Internship and Cooperative Education office.
Independent or Directed Study-Studentsmay elect a program of
independent study (upper division 499) or directed study (lower
division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibilityfor more than one independent
study per Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or
directed study must:
1. Meet departmental requirements.
2. Present to the Registrar for approval a copy of the proposed
study plan approved by the supervising faculty member.
This proposal must be submitted at least one week before
registration and no later than December 4. Appropriate
study proposal forms can be obtained in the Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools-Augsburg students may enroll at any
other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interims can be consulted in the Interim
Office. The Interim Secretary will help students in applying for
registration at other schools. Registration for Interims at the other
Twin Cities colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at other 41-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not
necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects courses offered
for the Religion requirement.
Visiting Students
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4 schools for
the January Interim without tuition charges provided the student's
home institution agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students
for the January term. The waiver of tuition does not include special
fees, housing or board costs. Other students will be charged $650
for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an
Augsburg Interim should write to the Interim Director for application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim office at their
own school. There is an applicationprocessingfee of $10. Students
are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so.
Requests for Interim housing should be made to the Interim Office.

Most biologists consider viruses to be the simplest form of
life. Most viruses consist basically of a few genes surrounded by a protein coat. They are able to function and
multiply only as parasites inside living cells. For all their
seeming simplicity, some of the most dreaded diseases
afflicting humans are caused by viruses, including polio,
rabies, AIDS, and some forms of cancer. This course will
begin with a short history of some major discoveries on
viruses, followed by a study of the structure of viruses, and
their multiplication in and effects on living cells. We will
also look at the ways in which the body defends itself
against viral invasion, at the development of vaccines and
new anti-viral drugs, and at some important diseases
caused by viruses, including AIDS. Grades will be based
on several quizzes and exams given during the course.

The Prose Poem: Creative Writing in the
Florida Keys
ENG 234-40031; 345-40033
Instructor: John Mitchell
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to
creative writing and to refine the creative writing of more
experienced students through attention to fidelity of imagery and integrityof simile,metaphor,rhythm, and sound.
The prose poem is a friendly, productive form to achieve
these goals because of its emphasis upon down-to-earth
personal observation and reportorial response to the natural and human environment, which, in this case, will be the
Florida Keys. Instruction in the history and techniques of
the prose poem will be accompanied by some attention to
the literary response of Ernest Hemingway and Wallace
Stevens to Key West. Some interdisciplinary experience
with Phil Thompson's course in drawing and watercolor
and Ralph Sulerud's course in marine biology, as a way of
facilitating "seeing." Grading will be based upon the
quality and progress in writing ten revised prose poems.
Students who take the course for upper division credit will
be required to do additional reading and to make oral
reports to the class based on this reading.
Further informationwill be found listed under THE FLORIDA KEYS at the beginning of the list of courses.
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor and, for upper
division credit, one college course in creative writing.

Questions of ethnicity, class, language, gender, and sexuality pervade recent drama in English. These issues are
revitalizingboth contemporary drama and productions of
classic texts. We will examine how dramatic works of the
late 70s and the 80s, written in English, have been shaped
by and have addressed issues ranging from racial tension
and interactionto sexual preference,both here and abroad.
For comparative purposes, we will also view a few filmson
related topics and attend at least two productions in the
Twin Cities. There will be moderate fees for three local productions.
Students will keep a journal, write two in-class essays, and
one short paper. (Theremay also be occasional quizzes.) A
series of group projects, which include a long paper and
some performance, will conclude the course.

the class time will be spent on discussions of student
fiction. (Participants will be responsible for the cost of
duplicating their stories.) We'll work on establishing a
sense of place or setting, on developing interesting characters and a distinctive "voice," on composing dialogue, and
oncreatingeffectivestructures for our fiction. Conferences
with the instructor will be an integral part of the class.
Grades will be based on the originality, imagination and

French Literature in Translation
FRE 243-40030
Instructor: Ruth Aaskov
What is there about French literature that merits the English translation of so much of it? What is its attraction, its
power, its human and artistic significance for the reader?
With these questions in mind, we will read, react to, and
analyse a variety of shorter French works available to us in
English.
We will explore masterpieces of earlier times like those of
Rabelais, Montaigne, Voltaire, Balzac, and Flaubert, as
well as significant 20th Century works. Reading and discussion of the common core works will be followed by
your personal study of a chosen short work to be shared
with the class via a short comparative paper. Mini-lectures
and study guides will help attentive reading of the works
and developing your communication and critical skills.
Evaluation will include your progress in group work and
discussion, your demonstrated understanding in reading,
writing assignments, quizzes, and independent study.
We hope to attend Bernstein's Candide as a class.

History
Women in Refonn in Modem America
HIS 225-40042
Instructor: John Jenswold
"Reformer" was a role played early and frequently by
American women in public life in the 19th and 20th Centuries, individually and collectively. In this course, we will
investigate theevolutionof that roleand the way that it has
been exercised in the past 150 years. We will study the
interaction of women with reform movements in an effort
to discover how women influenced major reform efforts
and how, in turn, those movements reshaped the role of
women in an industrializing and urbanizing society.
Our investigation will include several books, primarily
biographies of such reformers as Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Margaret Sanger and Jane Addams and studies of such
movements as suffrage, antislavery, educational reform,
political reform, women's rights, and peace activisni.
Discussions of these readings will be supplemented by
lectures on larger historical issues.

Art and Idea: Aesthetic Experience in
France, 1650-1900
INS 190-40035
Instructors: Julie Bolton, Marilee Klemp, Kristin
Anderson
How do we see? How do we listen? How do we respond
to theatre? What is the nature of art? How are ideas
conveyed in art forms? What do the visual arts, music, and
theatre have in common? How do they reflect the society
in which they were created? Is art timebound or timeless?
All art forms are linked to a particular time and place. We
see that the visual arts, music and theatre always reflect the
spiritual and intellectual climate of its time. Using examples of music, art and theatre created in France in the
years 1650-1900, the course will explore how to appreciate
and understand the various art forms, examine the relationships among the arts, and consider the expression of
enduring themes and ideas at different points in time.
Students will participate in the course through various
readings, including reading plays, studying scores and
listening to recordings, and reading primary source material connected to the art pieces considered. Using the
resources of the college and the city, students will also
attend a special performance of the Augsburg Faculty
Artist Series, visit art collections, including the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, attend music performances, including
the Minnesota Orchestra or the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and attend performances of Bernstein's Candide at the
Guthrie. Students will be expected to attend all required
performances and museum visits, write analyses of the
various art works or performances, and write a paper
integrating the different arts and time periods studied.

The Ethics of Killing and Letting Die
PHI 146-40053
Instructor: David Apolloni
Is abortion wrong? Is killing a terminally-ill person murder? Are there some crimes for which capital punishment
is justified? Is there such a thing as a just war?
These questions and the various answers proposed arouse
deep emotions and often hostile confrontations among
many groups in our society. All too often, complex moral
issues get reduced down to simplistic slogans when these
groups campaign to maintain or change laws on these
issues.
This course will utilize readings on these complex and
burning moral issues as an introduction to ethics and
critical moral thinking. We will consider some philosophical theories on the nature of moral obligation and personhood to help us get past emotions and slogans to a much
deeper and informed understanding of the philosophical
problcms which lic behind thc controversies surrounding
aborlion, euthanasia, capital punishment, and war.
The course will combine lecture and class discussion on
some contemporary philosophical readings on killing.
Students' work will be evaluated on the basis of four (2 to
3) page papers (each on some aspect of one of the topics)
and class participation.

Instructor: Ken Bailey
Sometimesitis said that welive in the Age of Science. What
does that mean? In what sense(s)might such a statement
be said to be true or false? On the other hand, some
astrologers say that we have just begun the Age of Aquarius, the Water Bearer, who is supposed to usher in an age
of peace and prosperity. Are these two notions in conflict?
Are they compatible? Is it really true that only science can
say something meaningful about Reality? Are there any
limits to scientific method? What does science have to say
about values? How do you recognize a pseudo-science?
These and other questions about scientificmethods, scientific knowledge, and applications of science to human life
will be examined. (Is your future written in the stars?)
Primarily a discussion course. Grades will be based upon
a mid-term and a final examination; course participation;
and a study project.

Instructor: Andy Aoki
Social justice is one of the burning issues of modem politics. For moral theorists, the nature of socialjustice is a continuing challenge; For practical politicians, it is a question
which can bc ignorcd but not avoidcd. From pmatal caw
for poor women to mcdical c a p for the elderly, most
important public policy debates involve questions of social
justice. To adequately consider these policy questions, one
must have some conception of social justice.
In this class, you will work to develop your ideas of social
justice, and to understand how they apply to public policies. The policies to be considered will vary depending on
student interest, but the range of possible issues is vast,
including such topics as student financial aid, jobs programs, school choice, aid to the poor, Social Security,
environmental protection, and military service.
The majority of class time will be spent in discussions.
Participation is essential. Reading will be fairly light, but
everyone is expected to actively engage in class activities
and discussions. No prior knowledge is needed, but an
interest in public issues is important. Requirements will
consist of short papers, class participation, and a brief final
exam.
Although the workload is moderate, the course is mentally
demanding. Rigorous thinking about social justice can be
troubling; some questions will be provocative and disturbing. Students should be willing to tackle difficult intellectual challenges; doing so will enable you to gain a better
understanding of some of the most difficult problems of
our time, and to make a greater contribution to efforts to
deal with those problems.

The Other Side o Paradise:
Tourism, The Mi i t a y and
Cultural Confrontation in Hawaii

REL 251-40063;349-40067
Instructors: John Benson and Duane Addison
We invite you to come to Hawaii with us for a special class.
Other January Interim courses go to Hawaii as well, but
this one will be distinctive.
Saying "Hawaii" can conjure up images of beaches, palm
trees, and winter tans. We will not ignore these aspects of
Hawaii, but we will also probebeneath the image projected
to most tourists. We will study how Hawaii
"works"-politically, economically, and culturally. Three
social problems in particular tourism, militarism, and cultural confrontation will provide the focus of this learning
experience from a Christian ethical point of view.
First we will look at some less attractive aspects of the
tourism industry. Who benefits and who loses? Representatives of Hawaii's diverse peoples and viewpoints will
offer insights into the ecological, economic, and political
consequences of marketing the islands as a tourist paradise.
Secondly we will learn to see the U.S. military presence on
the islands in a new way. Many Americans associate
Hawaii with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and World War
11. But the presence of the U.S. Pacificcommand continues
to have significant implications for both the people and
ecosystems of Hawaii.
Finally, culturn1 conflict and confrontation in Hawaii will
be studied. Many immigrant groups havc come to the
islands: Japnesc, chine.^, Filipinos, Tongans, Samoans,
Portuguese,mainland Americans, and others. The interaction of these groups with native Polynesians yields a high
degree of cultural diversity. We will learn about the
exploitation and racial tensions that exist, as well as ways
in which diversity is appreciated and celebrated.
The cost for the course is $1,995.00, and it can be taken for
religion or crosscultural credit. We will visit the islands of
Oahu, Hawaii, and Maui, traveling via buses, vans, and
planes. Our accommodations will vary, including a camp
in the mountains, another camp on the beach, and several
tourist-level hotels.
Grades will be based on degree of involvement, the quality of contribution to the discussions and a journal. Upper
division credit will require a special project which will involve a presentation to the group.
Distribution: Religion
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor; for upper division credit, one course in college level religion, East
Asian culture or introductory sociology or anthropology*
The Theology of Marriage
REL 343-40070
Instructors: Curt Paulson, Cathy Paulson
Marriage has been described in terms of a free fall, a
decision which we often make with a portion of our brain
and all of our heart. This course will take nothing from the
heart, whether you are married or not, but it will increase
your sureness and the possibility for meaning/intimacy in
your life with a significant other. Within the context of
Christian teachings, many theories, with particular attention given to the work of C. G. Jung, will be studied and
applied to the marital relationship and secondarily to the
family.
There will be lectures, discussion, and visiting resource
persons. Evaluation will be based on class participation,
and an examination. Two books will be required.
Prerequisites: REL 111or 221 or permission of instructor.

Instructor: Brad Holt
Off thebeaten track of American tourists, this journey will
focus on meeting African people, observing their religious
rituals, music and art, and pondering their history. We will
converse with urban and rural Africans of different faiths,
different levels of education, in different climates. After
visiting the collections of African art in London, we will
journey to Nigeria, an English-speaking nation, and the
most populous of all African states. There we will encounter the three basic religious traditions of Africa: African
Traditional Religions, Christianity, and Islam. Each will
bring intriguing surprises, as they reflect African culture in
ways different from what can be found in the U.S.A.
First we will visit Ibadan, largest traditional African city
and metropolis of the Yoruba people. We will explore the
contemporary forms of the ancient Yoruba tradition, observe the work of the babalawo or diviner, and the dramatic worship services of the Aladura Christian churches.
We will visit the universities of Ibadan and Ife to dialogue
with Nigerian professors and students.
At Benin, site of the ancient Kingdom discovered by the
Portuguese in the 1400s,we will observe the world famous
bronze sculptures in the Benin Art Museum. We will meet
different traditions among the Igbo people, whose culture
has been so dramaticallydescribed in the novels of Chinua
Achebe.
We will see the forces of change in the "Middle Belt" of
Nigeria, where in the villages the competition is sometimes
keen among the three religious traditions. We will stop to
swim and to view African animals in the Yankari Game
Reserve. Finally, we will visit the far north and the historic
city of Kano, former trading center for the trans-Sahara
trade routes, where camel trains can still sometimesbe discovered. The grand mosque and museum will help us
understand the Hausa and Fulani traditions of Islam in
Africa.
Through it all, we will live simply, encountering life in a
Third World country that is struggling to find appropriate
blendsof Africanand Western culture. We will travel light,
and experience the taste, the music, the art, and the worship of one of Africa's most energetic nations.
Evaluation: Each day participants will engage in structured dialogue and individual journal writing. Two short
tests will be given.
Required Readings: Lawson, Religions of Africa; Parrinder,
Religion in Africa; Kalu, The Nigerian Story.
The cost of $2,195 includes all air and ground transportation, accommodations and excursions, breakfast and one
dinner in London, breakfast and all dinners in Nigeria.
Registration must be made before October 27 at the International Programs Office, 2018 S 8th Street.

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg College. The
College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with Fall and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of
teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways
not possible during the regular term.
Because one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to
spend the same amount of time in class and preparing for class as they would for
a four-course load during Fall and Spring semesters. Students can register for
only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a student
who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale. Students
generally have the option to register on a Pass/No credit basis. A few Interim
courses are graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in the course
description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division standing. Such
Interim courses have two numbers listed and the student must select. Students
registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments
and a more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35 courses of
which at least three must be Interim courses (or one Interim less than the number
of years of full-time enrollment at Augsburg; e.g., a transfer student enrolled full
time for two years is required to complete one Interim for graduation).

Registration for Interims at the other Twin Cities colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Note that Interim Courses at
Macalester, Hamline and St. Thomas begin on January 7 .
Most courses taught during the Interim at other 4-14 schools are accepted
for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as meeting
Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects
courses offered for the Religion requirement.
Visiting Students
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-14 schools for the
January Interim without tuition charges provided the student's home institution
agrees not to charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The
waiver of tuition does not include special fees, housing or board costs. Other
students will be charged $708 for the Interim course.
Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to
the Interim Director for application fonns or use the forms provided by the
Interim Office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $10.
Students are welcome to stay on campus but are not required to do so.

Courses
The Florida Keys: Marine Biology
of the Florida Keys and Writers of The Florida Keys
This interdisciplinay program will involve about two weeks of study i n southern
Florida. It will be based at the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute on Big Pine Key
during most of this period but there will also be a brief trip to the Everglades. Two
distinct course offerings are availablefor credit, taught by Ralph Sulerud and John
Mitchell. Descriptions for these courses can be found in the appropriate departmental
sections of this catalog (Biology and English.)
The interdisciplinay component will involve several days of field trips conducted by
the personnel of the institute. Unique communities such as coral reefs and mangrove
swamps will be studied. There will be plenty of opportunity for snorkeling, and scuba
diving is available for those who are certified. Students will also make several visits to
Key West, and will study some of the writings of Key West authors (see page 12). All
students will participate in these activities and i n certain classes i n addition to completing the specific requirements of the course for which credit will be given. It is intended
that relationships will become apparent between the biology of the Florida Keys and the
writing which has emerged from this interesting environment.
A fee of approximately $1,200 will be charged for transportation (including airfare),
lodging, most meals and the services (field trips, lab facilities, classes, etc.) of the
Newfound Harbor Marine Institute.
Marine Biology of The Florida Keys
BIO 140-41048; 340-41049
Instructor: Ralph Sulerud
The Florida Keys provide an excellent site for the study of marine organisms
and marine ecology. Most of approximately two weeks in Florida will be spent at
the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute located on Big Pine Key. The institute offers
laboratory facilities and field trips in addition to housing and a dining hall. Field
trips will pennit the study of diverse habitats such as those of coral reefs, shallow
bays, mangrove swamps, seagrass communities and tide pools. Organisms from
these communities and others will be investigated onsite and in the laboratory. A
marine biologist from the institute will be available to lead field trip and conduct
specialized classes. Upon termination of the program at the institute there will be a
short trip to the Everglades to experience yet another interesting environment.
Preparation for the excursion to the keys will be made during the week prior to
the trip. This will include an introduction to marine biology utilizing a variety ol
audiovisual materials. The final week will be devoted primarily to study and the
completion of course requirements.
The course will have an interdisciplinary component. Biology students will
interact with students from John Mitchell's Key West Writers course. Further
information concerning this component will be found listed under The Florida
Keys in the Interdisciplinary section of this catalog.
Evaluation will be based on overall participation in the program, a journal
based on daily experiences, and one or two exams. Upper division students will
also do a special research project which will be the basis of a paper.
Prerequisites: Permission of instructor. For upper division credit, Biology 111

Questions of ethnicity, class, language, gender, and sexuality pervade recent
drama in English. These issues are revitalizing both contemporary drama and
productions of classic texts. We will examine how dramatic works of the late '70s
and the '80s, written in English, have been shaped by and have addressed issues
ranging from racial tension and interaction to sexual preference. (We sometimes
survey cumnt drama on several such topics, like class, gender, and language in
1989, and sometimes concentrate solely on plays about one issue, like sexual orientation in 1990.) For comparativepurposes, we will also view a few films on related
topics and try to attend at least two productions in the Twin Cities. There will be
moderate fees for the local productions.
Students will keep a journal, write two in-class essays, and one short paper.

Art and Idea: The Baroque in Europe
INS 191-41011
Instructors: Julie Bolton, Merilee Klemp, Kristin Anderson
How do we see? How do we listen? How do we respond to theater? What is
the nature of art? How m ideas conveyed in art forms? What do the visual arts,
music, and theater have in common? How do they reflect the society in which they
were created? Is art timebound or timeless? All art forms are linked to a particular
time and place. We see that the visual arts, music and theater always reflect the
spiritual and intellectual climate of its time. Using examples of music, art and
theater created in Europe in the Baroque period, the course will explore how to
appreciate and understand the various art forms, e e e the relationships among
the arts, and consider the expression of enduring themes and ideas at different
points in time.
Students will participate in the course through various readings, including
reading plays, studying scores and listening to recordings, and reading primary
source material connected to the art pieces considered. Using the resources of the
College and the city, students will also attend a special performance of the Augsburg
Faculty Artist Series, visit art collections, including the Minneapolis Institute of Arts,
and attend music performances, including the Minnesota Orchestra or the St. Paul
Chamber Orchestra. Students will be expected to attend all required performances
and museum visits, write analyses of the art works or performances, and write a
paper integrating the different arts and time periods studied. There will also be
quizzes.

I N S 241-41053
Instructor: Vincent Peters
Life in the global community of today's world demands an understanding of
many issues from perspectives not easily achieved without intimate study from a
viewpoint far different than one's own. This course seeks to challenge many
common assumptions regarding the differences between "rich" and "poor,"
"East!' and 'West," while examining the process of social change in the context
of an emerging nation.
South India provides a rich experience of lives in transition, as reformation
sweeps through the culture on every level, bringing socio-economic develop
ment, political empowerment, and redefinition of social and gender roles.
Students immerse themselves in the culture of South India through dialogue,
homestays, and cultural events, and as a result will find their own world view
greatly challenged and enhanced.
We will spend time in Madras, the smaller city of Vellore and villages near
it, in Bangalore and finish with four days in New Delhi which will coincide with
the colorful celebration of Republic Day.
There will be some assigned readings. Evaluation will be based on participation in discussion and field activities, maintenance of a journal and two tests.
The comprehensive fee of $2,695 includes air and surface transportation,
accommodations (half in hotels and half with families), breakfast daily and two

p u p , such as Galidan, Catalan, P r o v d , l

Sardinian,Rom,and others. This
coursewillbe concerned why theselanguagesare so similar and why they&.
Basidy, the similarities stem from the fad that theselanguagesall have the same
source, the poplar Latin speech (oftenmked to as Vulgar Latin) which was spokenby
ordinary people - traders and rmrchants, soldiersand sailors, ruraland &an settlers of all
kinds - within the Roman Empire at its greatest extent. They differin part because
differences in dialect traditionally tend to grow with the passage of time and, very
importantly, these languages have all experienced the influences of various other
languages - such as Arabic in the case of Spanish, Celtic and German for French,
Slavic for Romanian, etc.
'Ihe length of thecoursewill not permit going into great detail regall these
changes,but the mapr developmentswill be emmined mthlly, particularly in thetheof

Electronic Music Composition
MUS 23&41063/430-41015
Instructor: Robert Karlen
An opportunity for students to explore, experience, and create some of the
sounds found in 20th Century music. Through a "hands+nl' approach, participants
will be involved in:
1.Making multi-track recordings on half-track, quarter-track, and cassette decks
through an eight-track mixer.
2. Individually creating, modifymg and mixing sounds from traditional sound
sources as well as from analog and computercontrolled synthesizers.
The study and application of practical electronic technology used in the production of music today will be combined with aesthetic considerations necessary for the
creative aspects of the art.
Much of the work in this course will be done in small groups. Lower division
students will work with up to four channel-four track recording involving techniques of speed changing, splicing, reversing tape direction and filtering using
primarily traditional and non-traditionalsound sources. Upper division students
will also use electronicallysynthesized sound sources including computer controlled
keyboard, overdubbing and overlaying up to seven tracks.
Students must have the use of a portable cassette recorder, and provide themselves with a 7-inch reel of blank recording tape and a blank cassette tape.

What Do You Think Of That?
PHI 250-41019
Instructor: Kenneth C.Bailey
There are many puzzling issues in our lives and world which deserve some
clear and careful thought. What shall we think and say about such contemporary issues as "Freedom of the Will"; "Can Computers Think?"; and 'What are
the Grounds of Moral Responsibility?". In this course we will discuss these and
other concerns that confront our age, in an attempt to understand them more
clearly.
Discussions will be based upon readings from a wide selection of authors,
some traditional (such as John Locke, Rene Descartes, and William James); and
some very much in the forefront of contemporary discussion (such as Ayn Rand,
B.F. Skinner, Sidney Hook, and John Hospers). Their views are provocative, to
say the least, and they will challenge you to ask, again and again, 'Well, Now.
What Do You Think of That?".
Grades will be based upon a mid-term examination, a final examination, and
class discussions.

Introduction to Weather
PHY 106-41020
Instructor: Noel Petit
A study of the science of meteorology which will provide a working knowledge of the principles of atmospheric science. Attention will be given to four
basic areas observing the weather changes and understanding the world's
climate. Related topics to be included are: hydrology (study of the earth's water
cycle), pollution, economic effects of the weather, and weathefs impact on world
events. This course is designed to be an elective or satisfy the MathematicsPhysics distribution requirement for the liberal arts student.
The course will have two weeks of class lecture and laboratory followed by a
two-week trip through the Southeast United States visiting major weather
facilities. The itinerary will include stops at Kansas City, Missouri; Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma; Vicksburg and Gulfport, Mississippi; Tampa, Miami, Cocoa
Beach, Daytona Beach and Gainesville, Florida. At each site there will be a tour
and explanatory program for the functions of that facility. Topics of the visits
will be severe storms, control of the water in the Mississippi River basin, automated weather observation at sea, television station weather facilities, hurricane
tracking, weather satellites, and agricultural weather.
During the trip the student will maintain a journal of weather and site visits.
Daily weather maps will be created using portable weather satellite reception
systems carried on the trip. This trip will not only allow visits of operational
weather facilities, but also will allow the student to experience the full range of
climates across the U.S. from north to south.
Daily quizzes and lectures will be given during the travel. Grades will be
based upon the journal, two hourly examinations and an individual project
completed during the trip. The cost will be approximately $700. Initial deposit
due by October 26.

Instructor: Jeff Johnson
Spreadsheets (e.g., Lotus 123)have been used extensively in business for
years. However, it is also possible to use spread sheets to solve physics problems
without using "high-powered" mathematics. Spreadsheets allow the student
who is not an expert in mathematics to experience physics on a more intuitive
level. We will use Lotus 123 to solve problems in a wide variety of physics areas
including planetary and projectile motion. Some of the problems investigated
might be in areas other than physics. Grading will be based on spreadsheet
projects, homework, and a final exam.

Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 4-14 calendar, with Fall and
Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a
four-weekJanuary Interim. Interim is particularly intended to
be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of
teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics
in places and ways not possible during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and
preparing for classas they would for a fourcourse load during
Fall and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one
course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a
student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/
No Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the
P/N system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division
standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a
more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an A u g s b q student is required to complete 35
courses of which at least three must be Interim courses. The
number of r e q w Interim courses is adjusted for transfer
students. Transfer students should referto their transfer credit
evaluation form, or consult the registrar.
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the
basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital
status, sex or handicap as required by Title D( of the 1972
Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973,as amended, in its admissions policies, educational
programs, activities and employment practices.

The catalog lists courses by departments. Departments are
listed in alphabetical order. At the end of the book are listings
of other courses not offered by Augsburg but recogruzed by
the College for Interim credit. Additional descriptions and
information about these courses are available in the Interim
Office, Memorial 230. Studentsmay also register for one of the
lifetime sports listed at the end of the Catalog.
- Students are invited tobe part of one of
International In*
the 23 international interims offered by the Upper Midwest
AssociationforInternationalEducation(UMAIE).Thesecourse
opportunities are listed near the end of this catalog.
Internships:Deadline: Friday, December 13. January Interim
internships must be planned in advance. Students electing an
internship must meet departmentalrequirementsand present
a signed internship learning agreement plan to the Internship
Office(Murphy Place, Rm. 8) no later than the last day of Fall
classes (Friday, December 13).The LearningAgreement forms
are available in the same office. Internships during Interim
must involve full-time work placements for approximately
four weeks. Assistance for planning your internship is available in the Internship and Cooperative Education Office.
Independent or Directed Study - Students may elect a p m
gram of independent study (upper division 499) or directed
study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty members are
strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more
than one independent study per Interim. Students choosingto
pursue independent or directed study must:
1. Meet departmental requirements.

proposal must be submitted at least one week before registration and no later than December 2. Appropriate study proposal forms can be obtained in the Interim Office.
Interims at Oher Schools- Augsburg studentsmay enroll at
any other 414 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim
arrangement. Catalogs of these Interims can be consulted in
the Interim Office.The Interim Secretary will help students in
applying for registration at other schools. Registration for
Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg
during the regular registration period. Most courses taught
during thehterim at other 4-14 schools are accepted forcredit
by Augsburg, but may not necessarilybe accepted as meeting
Augsburg's distribution requirements. This qualification particularly affects courses offered for the religion requirement.
Augsburg Collegewelcomes students from other 414schools
for the January Interim without tuition charges provided the
student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to
Augsburg studentsfor the January term. The waiver of tuition
does not include special fees, housing or board costs. Other

interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write
to the Interim Director for application forms or use the forms
provided by the interim office at their own school. There is an
application processing fee of $10. Studentsare welcometo stay
on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim

The Florida Keys provide an excellent site for the study of
marine organisms and marine ecology. Most of the approximately two weeks in Florida will be spent at the Newfound
Harbor Marine Institute located on Big Pine Key. The Institute
offers laboratory facilitiesand field trips in addition to housing
and a dining hall. Field trips will permit the study of diverse
habitats such as those of coral reefs, shallow bays, mangrove
swamps, seagrass communities, and tide pools. Organisms
from these communitiesand others willbe investigated on site
and in the laboratory.A marinebiologist from the Institutewill
be available to lead all field trips and conduct specialized
classes. Upon termination of the program at the Institute, there
will be a short trip to the Florida Evergladesto experienceyet
another interesting environment.
Preparation for the excursion to the Keys will be made during
the week prior to the trip. This will include an introduction to
marine biology utilizing a variety of audiovisual materials.
The final week will be devoted primarily to study and the
completion of the course requirements.
The course will have an interdisciplinary component. Biology
studentswillinteractwith studentsfromJohnMitchell'scourse,
"Writers of the Florida Keys",and Phil Thompson's drawing
and painting courses.
Evaluation will be based on overall participation in the pm
gram,a detailed journal based on daily experiences, and a final
examination. Upper division students will also do a special
research project which will be the basis of an extensive paper.

Instructor: Ariln Gyberg
This is a non-laboratory chemistry course based on the very
popular book by John W. Hill of the same title. It is not a
traditional chemistry course and does not assume a science
background. Basic science and math are introduced early and
are taught as needed for understanding various topics and
implications.The course does assume the student is interested
in and concerned about the relationship of chemistry tolifeand
living.
Chemistry has been intimately a part of liberal education for
centuries. The early scientists were considered to be philosophers and their societies were philosophical societies.In recent
decades the human seeking of personal independencehas led
to chemistry becoming a part of everyday life to the point of
adual dependence on chemistry. We live in a world of pesticides, pills, plastics, processed foods, pollutants, and it goes on
and on. Emotional and mental disorders can often be traced to
chemical imbalance and wen learning appearsto be the result
of chemicalreaction to form a "memory molecule". Most of the
problems we face are molecular in nature. What then but
chemistry can better help us to understand ourselves, our
society,our world, and our universe? Come, pin us as we take
a molecular look at the human condition.
This course will be o f f d in a lecture/discussion format.
Article handouts and films will supplement the ledure/discussion periods. Daily quizzeswillbe used for evaluation. This
course meets a distributionneed but does not satisfyprequisites for Chemistry 106,110, or 116.

ENG 2 1942060
Instructor: John Schmlt
Language plays an important role in our socialization and
acculturation. The way we speak tells others who we are and
tells us who others are. Our speech is a reflection of our social
u
l
w background. For
and economical standing and our c
this reason we should expect women to speakdifferentlyfrom
men. And yet somehow we do not. We should expect anyone
from a different background to have differences of language.
Even more importantly, we must understand these differences
in order to make sure that we understand speakers from
different language communities.
This course will examine the dialects of various Englishspealang communities and attempt to describe and understand their rules of speech: Their grammatical rules, phone

What is fiction? What is good fiction? What elements of fiction
should be considered in making an evaluation?In this course,
students will find answers to these questions by mding a
variety of fictional works and by writing their own fiction.
Although the course will not involve a systematic analysis of
the history of the form of the short story, we will begin with
tales and fables and we will read a sufficient number of classics
for the student to appreciate the historical development from
Poe to Beattie. The come will involve practice in ways of
approachingliteratureandwill include studyof thebasic critical
terminology, so it would be an appropriate course for students
who have not yet studied literature at the college level.
Studentsare acpected to read the storiesand novel, participate
in class discussions, write an analysis paper on a selected short
story, write an original short story, and take several quizzes
and a final exam.
Students taking this course for upper division credit will read
an additional novel and prepare a substantial paperlclass
presentation on it.
All students will be asked to contribute $5 to enable printing
and distribution of selected original fiction from class.

This course o k r s a study in the literary use of setting, in this
case an environment that will be studied aesthetically, ecologically, and culturally in concurrence with the reading of selected essays, poetry, and fiction. The study of the environment itself will involve an interdisciplinary program based at
the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute on Big Pine Key about
30 miles from Key West. The main text will be The I(ey West
Reader: The Best of the Key West Wrifers,1830-1990. In addition,
students will read three novels: Ernest Herningwafs To Hime
and ToHaw Not,Thomas McCuane's Ninety-Two in the Shade, and
Thomas Sanchez's Mile Zero, which will give a historical and
diversely cultural overview of the Keys'literary significance.
The interdisciplinary component of this course will be coordinated with two other courses:''Drawing" or 'Tainting" taught
by Phil Thompson and "Marine Biology" taught by Ralph
Sulerud. Field trips during the two-week stay will involve
excursions into the culturally and racially diverse Art Deco
District of Miami Beach; snorkeling in the coral reefs; trips to
the ,'back country" of the mangrove islands; visits to the
Hemingway house and other places of literary interest; and a
brief tour of the Everglades. A stimulating interplay of environment, culture, and literature will result; the student will be
an informed presence rather than a mere tourist.
There will be one week of introductory study on campus,
about two weeks of study in southern Florida, and about a
week to complete the course requirements back on campus.
Studentswill be expeded to keep a journal of observations and
impressions,to compose a verbal and visual sketch of a chosen
writef s house, and to write a final paper of about 10 pages in
length, based upon analysis and comparison of seleded writers' uses of environment as literary setting, especially in view
of what has been learned first-hand.
A fee of approximately$1,200 will be charged for transportation (including airfare), lodging, most meals, and the services
(field trips, lab facilities, classes, etc.) of the Newfound Harbor
Marine Institute.

love with someone, and how this differs from just being
friends, liking that person, and desiring that person sexually.
In the remainder of the course, we will consider the following
ethical issues concerning sex: (a) Sex and morality -Is there
such a thing as an ethics for sex?Is there such a thing as sexual
irnmox.ality? (b) Ssc and maniage -Is the use of birth control
moral? Is promiscuity bad? What strengths and weaknesses
does the institution of monogamy have? Is adultery immoral?
(c) The morality of alternative sexual preferences and lifestyles - Is sexual perversion a viable concept? Are homosexuality and lesbianism sexual perversion? Or are they merely
alternative sexual preferences?

standingthe world's climate. Related topics to be included a:
hydrology (study of the earth's water cycle), oceanography,
pollution, economic effeds of the weather, and weathds
impact on world events.
The course consists of three weeks of lecture and laboratory
sessionsin Minneapolisfollowedby a one week trip to Florida
to visit major weather facilities. The trip itinerary includes:
Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Air Forre Base, the
National Weather Service Office in Melbome, South Florida

the National Hurricane Center in Miami, and WTVT-TV in
Tampa. At each site there will be a tour and explanatory
program. Topics discussed in the visits include: tropical
weather, upper air soundings, hurricane tracking, fresh water
management in Florida, weathersatellites,agricultural weather,
and broadcast weather.
During the course, the student maintains a journal of weather
observed and sites visited. Daily weather maps will be used at
the visited sites to monitor conditions and aeate our own
forecasts. Daily quizzes and ledures will be given during the
travel. Grades will be based upon the journal, two examinations given during the classroom period, and an individual
project completed during the trip. Cost will be approximately

Off the beaten track of American tourists, this journey focuses
on meeting African faith communities,observing their rituals,
listening to their music, and observing their art. We encounter
the three basic religious traditions of Africa: African Traditional Religions, Christianity, and Islam. Each of these faiths
brings intriguing surprises as they reflect African culture in a
variety of ways. Our access to the Christian communities will
exceed that of the other two, but Christianity in Africa can only
be understood in the context of "ATR" and Islam. Each of these
has influenced the others. Both the mission-founded and the
"independent' churches have developed creatively in music,
theology, and spirituality.At the same time, political tensions
characterizethe relations of the churches and Islam, as Nigeria
prepares for a return to civilian rule in 1992.Our learning will
Religion
include various kinds of input: reading, lectures, interviews,
visits to sites, observation of worship, and discussions.
Through it all, we live simply, encountering life in a Third
World country which is strugglingto find appropriateblends
of African and Western culture. We will travel light, study
hard, and experiencethe taste, the markets, and the worship of
one of Africa's most energetic nations. The course is designed
for students seriously interested in religion who are in good
health. A visa is required for Nigeria.
Fee: $3,495 includes travel, accommodations, breakfast daily,

There is nothing more familiar to us than parties, sports, and
games. Yet most take them for granted. It may come as
something of a surprise to us, then, that the festival, play, and
"game theory" have been of keen interest, not only to anthropologists, sociologists, and psychologists, but also to students of religion and Christian theology. In this course we will
use lectures, small group discussions, and field trips to look
into some of this fascinating material. There will be two essay
tests, several special preparations related to discussions, and a
final project.

Marriage has been described in terms of a free fall, a decision
that we often make with a portion of our brain and all of our
heart. This course will take nothing from the heart, whether
you m manied or not, but it will increase your certainty and
the possibility for meaning/intirnacy in your life with a significant other. Within the context of Christian teachings, many
theories will be studied with particular attention given to the
work of C.G. Jung, and will be applied to the marital relationship primarily, and secondarily to the family.
There will be lectures, discussions, and visiting resource persons. Evaluation will be based on class participation, one

We all encounter deception and exploitation in politics, advertising, selling, and personal relations. How can one decide
whether to conceal information from a customer, to use subliminal persuasion, to "blow the whistle" on one's employer,
to use photographs or body language to give a misleading
impression? How can one sort out and weigh the various
ethical considerations?
In this course we will use case studies and a variety of ethical
perspectives to analyze ethical problems in such fields as
advertising, public relations, sales, and politics. We will also
consider issues in subliminal persuasion, nonverbal communication, and interpersonal communication. The main objective is to improve our ability to make ethical decisions.
Activities will include ledures, readings, case studies, interviews, oral reports, papers, debates, and two examinations.
The emphasis will be on case studies involving situations

Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 41-4 calendar, with Fall and
Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a
four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to
be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of
teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics
in places and ways not possible during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and
preparing for class as they would for a four-courseload during
Fall and Spring semesters. Students can register for only one
course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a
student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale.Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/
No Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only on the
PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered with either upper or lower division
standing. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
the student must select. Students registering for upper division standing should anticipate additional assignments and a
more rigorous grading standard.
To graduate, an Augsburg student is required to complete 35
courses of which at least three must be Interim courses. The
number of required Interim courses is adjusted for transfer
students. Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit
evaluation form, or consult the registrar.
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the
basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital
status, sex or handicap as required by Title D( of the 1972
Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973,as amended, in its admissions policies, educa tional
programs, activities and employment practices.

student's home institution agrees not to charge tuition to
Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver of tuition
does not include special fees, housing or board costs. Other
students will be charged $825 for the Interim course. Students
interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should write
to the Interim Director for application forms or use the forms
provided by the interim office at their own school. There is an
application processing feeof $10. Students are welcome to stay
on campus but are not required to do so. Requests for Interim

Language plays an important role in our socialization and
acculturation. The way we speak tells others who we are and
tells us who others are. Our speech is a reflection of our social
and economical standing and our cultural background. For
this reason we should expect women to speakdifferently from
men. And yet somehow we do not. We should expect anyone
from a different background to have differences of language.
Even more importantly, we must understand these differences
in order to make sure that we understand speakers from
different language communities.
This course will examine the dialects of various Englishspeaking communities and attempt to describe and understand their rules of speech:their grammatical rules, phonological rules, and their rules of discourse. It will include lectures,
student presentations, and student-led discussions. Besides
presenting a topic, students will write a paper on the presentation topic and take a final exam.

Questions of ethnicity, class, language, gender, and sexuality
pervade recent drama in English. These issues are vitalizing
both contemporary drama and productions of classic texts. We
will examine how dramatic works of the late '70s, the '80s, and
the '90s, written in English, have been shaped by and have
addressed issues ranging from racial tension to sexual preference. (We sometimes survey current drama on several such
topics, like class, gender and language in 1989, and sometimes
concentrate solely on plays about one issue, like homosexuality in 1990 and 1991.)For comparative purposes, we will also
view a few films on related topics and try to attend at least two
productions in the Twin Cities.There will be moderate fees for
the local productions.

Women assume multiple roles within the work and family
domains in contemporary society; for example, the roles of
executive, wife, and mother. Each role has related expectations
for behavior, presents an opportunity for personal growth and
also exerts pressure. When the roles are considered jointly,
they may competefor time and energy and require conflicting
types of behavior.
The subject of this course is the interaction of the work and
family roles of women. To investigate this topic, students will
read several books related to women's roles in the work and
family domains. The assessment of this component of the
course is based on written responses to questions assigned for
small group discussion. A second component of the course is
a group project on the work and family roles of women. The
assessment of this project is based on the group's presentation
of their work to the class. Examples of past student projects
include an historical overview of the work and family roles of
women, an overview of the possible choices for the combination of the work and family roles over the life course, a
summary of issues related to the work-role, a summary of
issues related to the family-role, a survey of the work and
family issues most important to women in different age brackets, and an indepth case study of the lives of three women.

"How can I use my creativity when I sing?" "How can I stop
feeling tense and inhibited when I perform?" "How can I reach
my full potential as a singerlactor?" These are common questions voiced by performers.
To answer these questions it is necessary to acknowledgethat
performing is a holistic activity, involving mind, body, and
spirit. Because all people possess a creative spirit which can
directly empower their performing, this course focuses on
exploring each participant's unique ability for selfsxpression.
Through exercises, designed to acquaint them with their own
performing power, students learn and practice the basic pro-
cess of singing/ading, and apply it to the study and performance of scenes from opera and musical theatre.
Students will participate in the course through study and re
hearsal of the assigned literature, completion of reading and
listening assignments, daily inclass experience of singinglacting
exercises, and participation in a final paformance of all scenes.

We will begin by studying some common conceptions and
misconceptions of romantic love, and look at some philosophers' definitions of it. We will try to decide what it is to be in
love with someone, and how this differs from just being
friends, liking that person, and desiring that person sexually.
In the remainder of the course, we will consider the following
ethical issues concerning sex: (a) Sex and morality -Is there
such a thing as ethics for sex? Is there such a thing as sexual
immorality? (b) Sex and marriage -Is the use of birth control
moral? Is promiscuity bad? What strengths and weaknesses
does the institution of monogamy have? Is adultery immoral?
(c)The morality of alternative sexual preferences and lifestyles
-Is sexual perversion a viable concept? Are homosexuality
and lesbianism sexual perversions? Or are they merely alternative sexual preferences?

Spreadsheets (e.g., Lotus 123) have been used extensively in
business for years. However, it is also possible to use spread
sheets to solve physics problems without using "high-powered" mathematics. Spreadsheetsallow the student, who is not
an expert in mathematics, to experience physics on a more
intuitive level. We will use Cotus 1-2-3 to solve problems in a
wide variety of physics areas including planetary and projettile motion. Some of the problems investigated might be in
areasother than physics. Grading willbebased on spreadsheet

From the realm of subatomic particles to molecular clusters
and beyond, the study and manipulation of matter often
demands the nearly total absence of the atmosphere in which
we live and breathe. This is the realm of high vacuum, without
which most of what we know as modern high technology
would be impossible. This course will acquaint the student
with the tools and techniques employed to produce, control
and monitor high vacuum environments, and allow students
to use these to study the behavior of gases and surfaces under
these conditions. Experiments will exploit a variety of chambers, pumps and gauges as well as a quadruple mass spectrometer. Considerable emphasis will be placed on laboratory
experiences;only one-third of the class period will be used for
formal lectures and discussion. Grades will be determined on
the basis of weekly evaluation of laboratory notebooks, two
exams, and a formal research paper.

The former Soviet Union was, among other things, a huge
experiment showing the possibilities and failuresof a totalitarian government to change at will people's traditions, values,
and customs.
Numerous peoples living in the territory of the former Soviet
Union had differing beliefs and customs which influenced
women's lives. In the early stages after the revolution, the
Bolshevik authorities sought to destroy all the institutions
supporting the old regime, including the family and religion.
Accordingly, they encouraged women's independence and
denied their family obligations. In a later stage, the policy was
reversed and family values positively stressed. But, objective
situations contradicted the policy in both cases.
Students will be expected to read several books, plus some
articles. There will be discussion and some written assignments. A final paper will be assigned.

Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 41-4 calendar, with Fall and
Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a
four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended
to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of
teaching and learning and to investigate questions and
topics in places and ways not possible during the regular
term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the same amount of time in class and
preparing for class as they would for a four-course load
during Fall or Spring semesters. Students can register for
only one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition
refund for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim
course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a
Pass/No Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded
only on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course
description.
Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division
credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
the student must select which is most appropriate for their
needs. Students registering for upper division credit should
anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous
grading standard. Some courses, especially courses with
travel requirements, have additional fees associated with
them. These fees, although intended to be accurate, may
change and students should check with the instructor to
verify the final costs.
To graduate, an Augsburg student who is under the
Distribution requirements is required to complete three
Interim courses. For a student under the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements, two Interim courses are required.
The number of required Interim courses is adjusted for
transfer students. Transfer students should refer to their
transfer credit evaluation form, or consult the Registrar.
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on
the basis of race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital
status, sex or handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972
Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies,
educational programs, activities and employment practices.

infomation about these courses are available in the Interim
Office, Memorial 230. Students may also register for one of
the lifetime sports listed at the end of the catalog.
International Interim - Students are invited to be part of one
of the 24 international Interim courses offered by the Upper
Midwest Association for International Education (UMAIE).
These course opportunities are listed near the end of this
catalog.
Internships deadline - Friday, December 10. January Interim
internships must be planned in advance. Students electing
an internship must meet departmental requirements and
present a signed Internship Learning Agreement Plan to the
Internship Office (Murphy Place, Rm. 8) no later than the
last day of Fall classes (Friday, December 10). The Learning
Agreement forms are available in the same office. Internships during Interim must involve full-time work placements for approximately four weeks. Assistance for
planning your internship is available in the Internship and
Cooperative Education Office.
Independent or Directed Study -Students may elect a
program of independent study (upper division 499) or
directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty
members are strongly discouraged from accepting responsibility for more than one independent study per Interim.
Students choosing to pursue independent or directed study
must:
1. Meet departmental requirements.
2. Present to the registrar a copy of the proposed study plan
approved by the supervising faculty member and the
directedlindependent study registration form. These forms
must be submitted by November 29. Appropriate study
proposal and registration forms can be obtained in the
Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at
any other 41-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim
arrangement.Catalogs of these Interim programs can be
consulted in the Interim Office. The Interim Secretary will
help students in applying for registration at other schools.
Registration for Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be
at Augsburg during the regular registration period. Most
courses taught during the Interim at other 41-4 schools are
accepted for credit by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be
accepted as meeting Augsburg's general education require
ments. This qualification particularly affects courses offered
in religion.
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 41-4
schools for the January Interim without tuition charges
provided the student's home institution agrees not to
charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term.
The waiver of tuition dors not include special fees, housing
or board costs. Other students will bc charged $1,050 for the
Interim course. Students interested in registering for an
Augsburg Interim should write to the Interim Director for
application forms or use the forms provided by the Interim
Office at their own school. There is an application processing fee of $10. Students are welcome to stay on campus but
are not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing
should be made to the Interim Office.
It should be noted that both ACTC exchange students and
visiting students may not register for 299 or 499 courses.

The development of the concept of evolution, arguably the
single most important unifying biological principle, will be
traced in this course from preDarwinian times to the
present. In so doing the massive body of evidence in
support of evolution will be addressed as will the pathway
of the evolutionary process and the proposed mechanisms
of that process.
Notwithstanding its acceptance by the vast majority of
biologists, evolution continues to be surrounded with
controversy. The antievolution movement including its
newest form, "scientific creationism," will be studied as will
the ongoing scientific debate concerning evolutionary
mechanisms. Finally the course will focus on some of the
reciprocal relationships between evolution and society.
There will be a variety of readings, and classes will consist
primarily of lectures and discussion. Some audieslide
presentations and videotapes will be utilized. Grading will
be based primarily on quizzes and tests, but participation in
discussion will also be a consideration.

The Florida Keys provide an excellent site for the study of
marine organisms and marine ecology. Most of the approximately two weeks in Florida will be spent at the Newfound
Harbor Marine Institute located on Big Pine Key. The
Institute offers laboratory facilities and field trips in addition
to housing and a dining hall. Field trips will permit the
study of diverse habitats such as those of coral reefs,
shallow bays, mangrove swamps, sea-grass communities,
and tide pools. Organisms from these communities and
others will be investigated on site and in the laboratory. A
marine biologist from the Institute will be available to lead
all field trips and conduct specialized classes. Upon
termination of the program at the Institute, there will be a
short t i p to the Florida Everglades to experience yet
another interesting environment.
Preparation for the excursion to the Keys will be made
during the week prior to the trip. This will include an
introduction to marine biology utilizing a variety of
audiovisual materials. The final week will be devoted
primarily to study and the completion of the course
requirements. Cost is $1,350.
Evaluation will be based on overall participation in the
program, a detailed journal based on daily experiences, and
a final examination. Upper division students will also do a
special research project which will be the basis of an
extensive paper.

This is a non-laboratory chemistry course based on the
popular book by John W. Hill of the same title. It is not a
traditional chemistry course and does not assume a science
background. Basic science and math are introduced early
and taught as needed for understanding the various topics
and implications. The course does assume the student is
interested in and concerned about the relationship of
chemistry to life and living.
Chemistry has been intimately a part of liberal education for
centuries. The early scientists were considered to be
philosophers and their societies were philosophical
societies. In recent decades the human seeking of personal
independence has led to chemistry becoming a part of
everyday life to the point of actual dependence on chemistry. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, "the
Pill," food additives and processed foods, vitamin supple
ments, the energy crisis, chemical dependency, biocides,
pollutants, drugs, searching for life on other planets, genetic
manipulation, and it goes on and on. Emotions and mental
disorders can often be traced to chemical imbalance. The
common dragged out, grumpy feeling after an afternoon
nap is a result of a chemical imbalance. The nature of a
hangover is the result of a complex system of altered body
chemistry. Even learning appears to be the result of
chemical reaction to form a "memory molecule." Most of
the problems we face are molecular in nature. What then
but chemistry can better help us to understand ourselves,
our society, our world, and our universe? Come join us as
we take a molecular look at the human condition.
This course will be offered in a lecture/discussion format.
Films will supplement the lecture/discussion periods. Daily
quizzes will be used for evaluation. This course does not
satisfy prerequisites for Chemistry 106 or 116.

poet and to the themes of their poems, especially those
images and statements that concern philosophical, historical, psychological and cultural values. Through comparison
and contrast, students will be expected to formulate
reasonable interpretations of selected poets and poems and
to express their discoveries in class discussion and short
papers. A final examination will be given, and two interpre

classic texts. We will examine how dramatic works of the
late 70s, the 80s, and the 90s, written in English, have been
shaped by and have addressed issues ranging from racial
tension to sexual preference. (We sometimes survey current
drama on several such topics, like class, gender and
language in 1989, and sometimes concentrate solely on
plays about one issue, like homosexuality in 1990 and 1991.)

The poet Walt Whitman once called baseball "America's
game." In the century since Whitman uttered those words,
baseball has occupied a prominent (and permanent) place in
American life in some ways equivalent to business, politics,
religion, and race. In this course, then, we will examine the
relationship between the United States and its national
pastime.
Our focus will not be on the game between the lines, the
great players and teams. Instead, we will take up several
topics which can illuminate the historical evolution of this
country. Some of these include: professionalization and its
impact on amateur baseball, the role of ethnicity and ethnic
rivalry, the color line, the emergence of the "big" leagues at
the expense of the "minor" leagues, women's baseball, labor
relations and the empowerment of the players, the impact of
television, and the ballpark as an urban place. Special
attention will be paid to baseball in the Twin Cities and
students will be asked to do a short research paper on some
aspect of baseball history in this region.
Grading will be based on the research paper, class participation and a final exam.

How do we see? How do we listen? How do we respond to
theater? What is the nature of art? How are ideas conveyed
in art forms? What do the visual arts, music, and theater
have in common? How do they reflect the society in which
they were created? Is art timebound or timeless?
All art forms are linked to a particular time and place. We
see that the visual arts, music, and theater always reflect the
spiritual and intellectual climate of their time. Using
examples of music, art, and theater created in Europe in the
Baroque period, the course will explore how to appreciate
and understand the various art forms, examine the relationships among the arts, and consider the expression of
enduring themes and ideas at different points in time.
Students will participate in the course through various
readings, including reading plays, studying scores and
listening to recordings, and reading primary source material
comected to the art pieces considered. Using the resources
of the College and the city, students will also attend a
special performance of the Augsburg Faculty Artist Series,

Class lectures will provide introduction to the mathematics,
and computer programs will provide students with the
opportunity to construct their own visuals.
Students will be tested on the mathematics through a

Is abortion wrong? Is killing a terminally-ill person murder?
Are there some crimes for which capital punishment is
justified? Is there such a thing as a just war?
These questions and the various answers proposed arouse
deep emotions and often hostile confrontations among
many groups in our society. All too often, complex moral
issues get reduced down to simplistic slogans when these
groups campaign to maintain or change laws on these
issues.
This course will utilize readings on these complex and
burning moral issues as an introduction to ethics and critical
moral thinking. We will consider some philosophical
theories on the nature of moral obligation and personhood
to help us get past emotions and slogans to a much deeper
and informed understanding of the philosophical problems
which lie behind the controversies surrounding abortion,
euthanasia, capital punishment, and war.
The course will combine lecture and class discussion on
some contemporary philosophical readings on killing.

Spreadsheets (e.g., Lotus 123) have been used extensively in
business for years. However, it is also possible to use
spreadsheets to solve physics problems without using highpowered mathematics. Spreadsheets allow the student who
is not an expert in mathematics to experience physics on a
more intuitive level. We will use Lotus 123 to solve prob
lerns in a wide variety of physics areas including planetary
and projectile motion. Some of the problems investigated
might be in areas other than physics. Grading will be based
on spreadsheet projects, homework, and a final exam.

PHY 337-A
Instructor: Stuart Anderson
The quest to understand how light and matter interact is at
the heart of modem physics, and lasers are probably the
most ubiquitous technical product of these ideas. "Making
Light of Matter" will begin with an overview of optics
needed for understanding imaging, beam control and
dispersion, including the nature of light, reflection, refraction and interference. This sets the stage for treating the
physics of superradiant devices and lasers, and the impact
of cavity design on output characteristics. The course will
conclude by applying these concepts to the study of atoms
and simple molecules by the emission, absorption and
scattering of light.
Considerable emphasis will be placed on laboratory
experiences; only onethird of the class period will be used
for formal lectures and discussion, with the balance spent in
the laboratory. Grades will be determined on the basis of
weekly evaluation of laboratory notebooks, two onehour
exams, and a formal research paper.

This course requires students to struggle with questions of
social justice in America. Students will develop and defend
their own standards of social justice, and conditions in the
United States will be measured against these standards. This
course will stress the exchange of ideas, and students will be
expected to be very actively involved in this exchange.
The goal of the course will be for students to develop their
own thinking about social justice, and to have a much
greater awareness of values which may conflict with the
pursuit of social justice. In addition, students should be able
to use their ideas to evaluate and critique conditions in
America today.
Evaluation will be based on participation in class discussions and structured class activities, on two short (46 page)
essays, and on a final exam.

This course will examine the impact of the American
political system upon public policy making in the United
States. Three topics of major policy importance will be
selected for examination in the way they are addressed by
particular political practices and/or institutions. The class
will evaluate the options available to policy-makers in light
of the scholarly literature and other information available on
each subject. It will then assess the interplay between these
choices and their handling by the political system. Close
attention will be given to an exploration of the ethical
situation and dilemma of decision-making in politics.
As part of the course, students will submit written analyses
and evaluations of the success and/or failure of the policymaking process in addressing these problems. These, plus
additional articles and portions of books from the social
sciences, will serve as a basis for class discussion. The
papers, a test on the assigned readings outlining the policymaking process in the United States, and class participation
will determine final grades.
Students taking the course for lower division credit will be
expected to complete papers on two of the three policy
issues addressed in the course. Those taking the course for
Upper Division credit must complete an additional paper
on a policy issue of their choice not covered in class.
Prerequisites: Students should have completed at least one

molded by a variety of social, cultural, and historical
influences. The content of the course will include topics
such as: the impact of science on myth; the mythologies of
romantic love, war, and peace; the process of individuation;
and metaphors of psychological transformation.
Class time will be devoted mainly to the discussion of
assigned readings. Students will be expected to be prepared
for class by doing the readings and to be actively involved
in the class discussions. Students will be given some of the
responsibility for leading discussions. Evaluation will be

Marriage has been described in terms of a free fall, a
decision that we often make with a portion of our brain and
all of our heart. This course will take nothing from the heart,
whether you are married or not. It will, however, increase
your certainty and the possibility for meaning and intimacy
in your life with a partner. In the context of Christian
teachings, many theories will be studied, with particular
attention given to the work of C.G. Jung, and will be applied
to the marital relationship primarily, and to the family
secondarily.
There will be lectures, discussions, and visiting resource

For some in our society, science is the driving engine of a
better, more secure life and the basis for a philosophy of life.
For others, science and its associated technologies, along
with its invitation to become a global world view, constitute
a grave threat. Some Christians particularly feel threatened
by science. This course will address these matters in two
ways. First, it will begin with a historical overview of the
relations between science and the Christian faith, emphasizing three periods: the origins of the Christian faith, the
development of "modern" science and mechanistic philosophy, and the reevaluation of science and nature in the 20th
century. Second, it will study systematically the world
views of science and religion to see how they compare.
Class time will be divided among a variety of activities
including lectures, whole class discussions, small group
tutorials, and an extended simulation exercise in developing
a space colony, drawing from the ideas developed in the
course. Course evaluation will be based on two short exams,
participation in small group tutorials based on assigned
readings, a group project presentation, and a major synthe
sis paper based on the group project and course materials.

Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with Fall
and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty
to employ styles of teaching and learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and ways not possible
during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the same amount of time in class
and preparing for class as they would for a four-course
load during Fall or Spring semesters. Students can
register for only one course credit during Interim. There
is no tuition refund for a student who chooses not to
enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to
0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register
on a PassINo Credit basis. A few Interim courses are
graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in the
course description.
Some courses are offered for either upper or lower
division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers
listed and the student must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for upper
division credit should anticipate additional assignments
and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses,
especially courses with travel requirements, have
additional fees associated with them. These fees, although intended to be accurate, may change and students
should check with the instructor to verify the final costs.
To graduate, an Augsburg student who is under the
Distribution requirements is required to complete three
Interim courses. For a student under the Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements, two Interim courses are
required. For any student entering after January 1993 a
maximum of two Interim course credits may be counted
toward the 33 total credits required for graduation. The
number of required Interim courses is adjusted for
transfer students. Transfer students should refer to their
transfer credit evaluation form, or consult the Registrar.
Additional Interim credits which can count toward the 33
credits required may be taken by students who repeat a
credit for a course in which a grade below 2.0 was
earned, or who need to make up for a regular term in
which they failed or withdrew from a course.
Additional Interim courses not counted toward the 33
credits required may be used to fulfill other degree
requirements. That is, no more than two Interim course
credits may be taken for credit toward 33, but additional
Interim experiences may be used to fulfill major, minor
or general education requirements.
Day School students (3.0 credits or more for Fall) can take
a total of 1.0 course credits. They may take two half credit
classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit).
The lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are
full-time (Fall term). If less than full-time they will be
charged.
Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim
which is a Cross-Over, but will be charged Day School
prices ($1,270). They also can only then take 1.0 course
credits in Weekend College.
It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of
race, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or
handicap as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
in its admissions policies, educational programs, activities and
employment practices.

directed study (lower division 299) for Interim. Faculty
members are strongly discouraged from accepting
responsibility for more than one independent study per
Interim. Students choosing to pursue independent or
directed study must:
1. Meet departmental requirements.
2. Present to the Registrar a copy of the proposed study
plan approved by the supervising faculty member and
the directedlindependent study registration form. These
forms must be submitted by November 28. Appropriate
study proposal and registration forms can be obtained in
the Interim Office.
Interims at Other Schools - Augsburg students may enroll at
any other 41-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim
arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs can be
consulted in the Interim Office. The Interim Secretary will
help students in applying for registration at other schools.
Registration for Interims at the other ACTC colleges will be

courses taught during Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are
accepted for credit by Augsburg, but might not meet
Augsburg's general education requirements. This qualification particularly affects religion courses.
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4
schools for the January Interim without tuition charges
provided the student's home institution agrees not to
charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January term.
The waiver of tuition does not include special fees,
housing or board costs. Other students will be charged
$1,270 for the Interim course. Students interested in
registering for an Augsburg Interim should write to the
Interim Director for application forms or use the forms
provided by the Interim office at their own school. There is
an application processing fee of $10. Students are welcome
to stay on campus but are not required to do so. Requests
for Interim housing should be made to the Interim Office.

This is a non-laboratory chemistry course based on the
popular book by John W. Hill of the same title. It is not a
traditional chemistry course and does not assume a
science background. Basic science and math are introduced early and taught as needed for understanding the
various topics and implications. The course does assume
the student is interested in and concerned about the
relationship of chemistry to life and living.
Chemistry has been intimately a part of liberal education
for centuries. The early scientists were considered to be
philosophers and their societies were philosophical
societies. In recent decades the human seeking of
personal independence has led to chemistry becoming a
part of everyday life to the point of actual dependence on
chemistry. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers,
plastics, "the Pill", food additives and processed foods,
vitamin supplements, the energy crisis, chemical dependency, biocides, pollutants, drugs, searching for life on
other planets, genetic manipulation, and it goes on and
on. Emotions and mental disorders can often be traced to
chemical imbalance. The common dragged out, grumpy
feeling after an afternoon nap is a result of a chemical
imbalance. The nature of a hangover is the result of a
complex system of altered body chemistry. Even learning
appears to be the result of chemical reaction to form a
"memory molecule". Most of the problems we face are
molecular in nature. What then but chemistry can better
help us to understand ourselves, our society, our world,
and our universe? Come join us as we take a molecular
look at the human condition.
This course will be offered in a lecture/discussion format.
Films will supplement the lecture/discussion periods.
Daily quizzes will be used for evaluation. This course does

In this course we will identify what virtue is, inquire
about how one becomes virtuous, and explore some of
the major virtues - like compassion, honesty, prudence,
justice, and love - through classical and contemporary
literature. The goal is to provide opportunity for you to
think about your character and its development, to
enable you to ask about the relation between character
and moral actions, and to probe your curiosity by
considering possible tensions between the virtues, as
found in life situations.
The course is built around the question of values, in
particular, the issue of virtue (qualities of moral character). A broad list of virtues will be considered, including
the classical Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love. We
will look at what these virtues are, at their relationship to
each other, evaluate possible conflicts between them, and
see how they play out in life situations, both in literature
and (through the journals) in students' lives.

Although generally relegated to separate sections in
bookstores or to children's bookshelves, fantasy, as J.R.R.
Tolkien argues, is "not a lower but a higher form of Art,
indeed the most nearly pure form, and so (when
achieved) the most potent."
This course will study 20th century examples of fantasy,
looking for their roots in folktale, myth, epic and romance. At times the course will pair medieval and
modern works of the fantastic imagination (for instance,
"The Mabinogion" and "Evangeline Walton" or
"Beowulf" and 'The Hobbit"). We will attempt to define
the genre of fantasy by discussing essays by C.S. Lewis,
Tolkien, Ursula LeGuin, and Madelein L'Engle, as well as
considering relevant theories of myth and folktale by
Joseph Campbell, Axel Olrik, Lord Raglan, and others.
Students taking the course for lower division credit will
be asked to write several short papers. In addition to
writing several microthemes, ENG 482 students should
be prepared to write a substantial paper on the works of

What is the attraction of French literature for the nonFrench reader? What major French writers have portrayed diverse non-Western cultures and social strata in
their literary works? What can we discover about
ourselves and other cultures in learning how to read,
analyze, and communicate our findings through literature? With these questions in mind we will read and
analyze 8-10 shorter French literary works available to us
in English translation.
What will we be studying? The legend of St. Julien
presented in Middle Ages style by Flaubert, examples of
the Renaissance search for new worlds found in Rabelais,
a bit of Descartes autobiography. We will travel the
world with Voltaire's "Candide," explore social themes
of a 19th century nouvelle, and read 20th century authors
like Gide, Malraux, Camus, St. Exupery, and Duras with
their multi-cultural connections. We will sample one
piece of francophone literature from West Africa,
reflecting the struggle between indigenous and Western
culture. At mid-point you will choose another short work
for personal study, comparative analysis and presentation for the class.
Assessment in such a course will be ongoing, based on
individual and group response to the many activities in the
course. Timely reading of assigned texts, analyses, discussion preparations, short quizzes, and cultural discoveries
will enable you to undertake successfully your independent
study project and further enrich the whole class.
This literature course for the non-literature major is
intended to help you in further free reading, in your

Our objectives are the exploration of this new geometry of
fractals, its rules, its visuals,
how it reveals the beauty of
mathematics, how to create
images of such complex forms
and experience it as a form of
artistic expression via computer
graphics. The class will observe the pattern of selfsimilarity and consider the transformations used to
construct fractals such as this fern and the existence of
self-similarity regardless of the power of magnification

used in examining it. The class will also consider the well
known Mandelbrot set and Julia sets in color and in
threedimensional rendition.
Class lectures will provide introduction to the mathematics, and computer programs will provide students with
the opportunity to construct their own visuals.
Students will be tested on the mathematics through a
midterm and final exam. Students will create a portfolio
of visuals similar to the one above and from pieces of the
Mandelbrot or Julia sets which display the mathematical
character of those visuals. Finally students will keep a
journal noting their reflections on the interconnections
between mathematics and the artistic creations being
studied or created.

Spreadsheets (e.g., Lotus 123) have been used extensively
in business for years. However, it is also possible to use
spreadsheets to solve physics problems without using
high-powered mathematics. Spreadsheets allow the
student who is not an expert in mathematics to experience physics on a more intuitive level. We will use Lotus
123 to solve problems in a wide variety of physics areas
including planetary and projectile motion. Some of the
problems investigated might be in areas other than
physics. Grading will be based on spreadsheet projects,
homework, and a final exam.

From the realm of subatomic particles to the manufacture
of recording tape and computer chips, the study and
manipulation of matter often demands the nearly total
absence of the atmosphere in which we live and breathe.
This is the realm of high vacuum, without which most of
what we know as modern high technology would be
impossible. This course will acquaint the student with the
tools and techniques employed to produce, control, and
monitor high vacuum environments, and allow students
to use these to study the behavior of gases and surfaces
under these conditions. Experiments will make use of a
variety of chambers, pumps, and gauges as well as a
quadrupole mass spectrometer. Considerable emphasis
will be placed on laboratory experiences and scientific
communication; only one third of the class time will be
used for formal lectures and discussion. Grades will be
determined on the basis of weekly evaluation of laboratory
notebooks, oral and poster presentations, and two exams.

This course requires students to struggle with questions of social justice in America. Students will
develop and defend their own standards of social
justice, and use those standards to assess conditions
in urban America. To pass this course, students must
engage in a substantial exchange of ideas with fellow
classmates in class discussions.
The course has two goals: to develop student thinking
about social justice, including greater awareness of
conflicts between justice and other values; and to increase
student ability to understand urban problems as issues of
justice and other central values.
Evaluation will be based on participation in discussion
and other class activities, on two short ( 4 6 pp.) papers,
and on a final exam.

In these classes we will investigate the major political
issues facing citizens and policy-makers in Middle East
countries today.
We will analyze Islamic tradition as it has shaped social
values and provided a reservoir for political protest in
the 1990s. Country studies on Egypt, Iran, Syria, Israel/
Palestine, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia will be used to study
how modernization has given rise to new conflict patterns
and today's Islamic political movements. We will consider
the prospects for improved human rights and democratic
participation. Several featurelength films dramatizing
political conflicts in the f id die East will be shown.
Two textbooks will be used for the course as well as a
variety of specialized country studies. Each student will
prepare comments on political themes, read and critique a
selection from the course booklist, and write a final essay
analyzing political aspects of two countries in the Middle
East. Students taking the 268 level will have fewer analytic
requirements in their presentations and essays.

Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 4-1-4 calendar, with Fall
and Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a four-week January Interim. Interim is particularly intended to be a time for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and learning and to
investigate questions and topics in places and ways not
possible during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students should plan to spend the same amount of time in
class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during Fall or Spring semesters. Students
can register for only one course credit during Interim.
There is no tuition refund for a student who chooses
not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0
to 0.0 scale. Students generally have the option to register on a Pass/No Credit basis. A few Interim courses
are graded only on the P/N system; this is indicated in
the course description.
Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers
listed and students must select which is most appropriate for their needs. Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments
and a more rigorous grading standard. Some courses,
especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees, although
intended to be accurate, may change and students
should check with the instructor to verify the final
costs.
To graduate, a student under the 34-course Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements is required to complete two
Interim courses, but three Interim courses may count
toward graduation.
INTRODUCTION
For any student entering after January 1993, a maximum of two Interim course credits may be counted
toward the 33 total course credits required for graduation. The number of required Interim courses is adjusted for transfer students. Transfer students should refer
to their transfer credit evaluation form, or consult the
Registrar. Additional Interim credits which can count
toward the 33 course credits required may be taken by
students who repeat a course for credit in which a
grade below 2.0 was earned, or who need to make up
for a regular term in which they failed or withdrew
from a course.
Additional Interim courses not counted toward the 33
course credits required may be used to fulfill other
degree requirements. That is, no more than two Interim
course credits may be taken for credit toward 33, but
additional Interim courses may be used to fulfill major,
minor or general education requirements.
Day School students (3.0 credits or more for Fall) can
take a total of 1.0 course credits. They may take two
half credit classes. They may also take a lifetime sport
(zero credit). The lifetime sport is at no additional
charge if they are full-time (Fall term). If less than fulltime they will be charged.
Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim
as a cross registration, but will be charged Day School
tuition ($1,350.00) per course credit. If they do so they
may take only 1.0 additional course credits in Weekend
College for Winter Trimester.

International Interim - Students are invited to be part
of one of the 24 international Interim courses offered by
the Upper Midwest Association for International
Education (UMAIE). These course opportunities are
listed near the end of this catalog.
Internships deadline - Friday, December 8. January
Interim internships must be planned in advance.

Interims at Other Schools -Augsburg students may
enroll at any other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim
programs can be consulted in the Interim Office. The
Interim Secretary will help students in applying for registration at other schools. Registration for Interims at
the other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the
regular registration period. Most courses taught during
the Interim at other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit
by Augsburg, but may not necessarily be accepted as
meeting Augsburg's general education requirements.
This qualification particularly affects religion courses .
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4-1-4
schools for the January Interim without tuition charges
provided the student's home institution agrees not to
charge tuition to Augsburg students for the January
term. The waiver of tuition does not include special
fees, housing or board costs. Other students will be
charged $1,350 for the Interim course. Students interested in registering for an Augsburg Interim should
write to the Interim Director for application forms or
use the forms provided by the interim office at their
own school. There is an application processing fee of
$10. Students are welcome to stay on campus but are
not required to do so. Requests for Interim housing
should be made to the Interim Office.
It should be noted that neither ACTC exchange students nor visiting students may register for 199,299, or
499 courses.

CHM 100-A
Instructor: Arlin Gyberg
This course is developed in the perspective of a person
living in a modern, high technology society such as the
United States. It assumes that before one can evaluate a
moral or societal issue of a scientific nature one at the
least must be able to understand the science involved.
Anything less is an impression rather than an informed
decision. As we develop scientific concepts we will at
the same time relate them to an abundance of current
issues. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, birth control, food abundance and food shortage,
food additives and processing and synthesis, organically and non-organically grown food, chemical dependency, licit and illicit drugs, the energy crisis and the
debates about sources of energy, the greenhouse effect
and nuclear waste storage, pollution, genetic engineering, and much more. Many of these problems are
chemical in nature. Thus, in learning about chemistry,
via lecture and in-class discussion, we can be helped to
understand ourselves, our society, our world, and even
some of the universe. The grade for the course is based
on a percentage of the total score for total points on the
daily quizzes.

Why are some things easy for a person to learn while
others seem harder? Why does the same task seem easier at one moment and more difficult just a few hours
later? Why do some children struggle with seemingly
simple assignments but then suddenly master them?
Why do more people suffer with learning disabilities
and weak short term memory than ever before? Each of
us wants to be an efficient and happy learner, but most
often, no one has shown us how to be our own life-long
learning coaches. In the last decade, work in neurophysiology has given us a whole new set of insights
about how the various parts of the brain actually work
to produce learning and high level functioning.
Educational kinesiologists have taken these insights and
produced simple but effective ways to increase the
learning comfort of each individual.
This course will provide both the theory for each participant to understand her/his own unique learning needs
and the practice for becoming an efficient and joyful
learner. We will study learning development,
braidmind function, and the nature of learning blocks.
We will discuss the misuse of brain dominance theory
and learn routines for overcoming learning blocks and
integrating hemisphere functions. There will be two
tests and two demonstrations required of each student,
and upper division students will have to do two
reviews of relevant research. The course uses two
paperback texts. Very useful for prospective teachers
and parents.

The ACTC writing workshop is an advanced-level creative writing course, open to three students from each
of the five ACTC colleges and held this year at
Augsburg College. This year's course is designed to
encourage student writers to use memories of the past
as they create their own new work. Writers will dig for
details of the past in urban ruins of old neighborhoods,
sifting through social history found in button jars and
stacks of 78 RPM records in antique stores; they will
harvest myth from diverse cultures; collect stories from
elders living in Minneapolis today; and investigate
cemeteries, churches, and even an occasional museum.
Student writers must have successfully completed at
least one creative writing course and must have the recommendation of a creative writing instructor at their
home campus, but they may choose to work in poetry,
fiction, literary nonfiction or to cross over among the
three during this interim workshop. Meeting times will
include: (1)expeditions into the city in search of the
past; (2) group sessions to talk about the old stories
gathered; (3) group sessions to discuss new work created during the Interim and to sort through layers of past
deposited in the new work: (4) individual conferences
and/or small workshop sessions.

This interim experience is designed to look at the area
of South Asia (primarily India) that is home to one-fifth
of the people of our world. We'll use novels, films,
some standard historical writings and current South
Asia periodicals to consider the impacts that colonialism, nationalism and various phases of modernization
have had on this old, honored and traditional culture.
We'll read the marriage ads and talk about social structure, consider the spot at Ayodhya which has prompted
Hindus to massacre Muslims, think on the Christ-likeness of a Gandhi and perhaps have time to note one or
two of the contemporary religious phenomena.
Looking at South Asians helps us to see ourselves in a
fuller perspective.
The course will include the usual pedagogical devices
of lectures, discussions, some short reaction papers and
tests (including a final).
Students enrolling for upper division credit will be
expected to have had at least one prior college history
class, will complete a paper or project beyond the regular assignments, and will be tested apart from lower

Does history influence economic theory? Or does economic theory shape history? This course will explore
the history of western economic thought and how these
writings affected the development of various economic
systems. The course begins with the rise of mercantilism in the 16th century. Topics will include the industrial take-off and the creation of a waged labor force in
the 18th century, the rise of laissez-faire economic principles and "free-trade" imperialism in the 19th century,
and the subsequent challenges of communism and the
rise of the welfare state in the 20th century. We will
read substantial portions of the classic economic
thinkers, including Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus,
David Hume, Jeremy Bentham, David Ricardo, Sidney
and Beatrice Webb, Karl Marx, Max Weber, Alfred
Marshall, Thorstein Veblen, John Maynard Keynes,
William Beveridge and Milton Friedman. The course
will also address the long-standing issues of child labor,
poverty, and women's role in the workforce.

With a focus on the recognition that humans must live in
harmony with the ecology that surrounds them, this
course will include a week-long cruise to the Galapagos
Islands and several visits to the capital city of Quito.
Both of these places have been declared Patrimonio de la
Humanidad (Heritage Areas of Humankind) by the
United Nations. We will also visit Vilcabamba, one of
three sanctuaries of longevity in the world. Our journey
then takes us to the Amazon rainforest, where we
explore the tropical ecosystem and see how this distinctive habitat has influenced the culture of the people who
live there.
Evaluation: Students are evaluated on two written
reports on interactions with Ecuadorians and critical
analysis related to course content, a reflection essay
paper, attendance, and group participation.
The comprehensive fee of $4,095 includes all air and surface travel, hotel accommodations in Quito and
Vilcabamba, breakfast daily, one lunch, three dinners,
Galapagos Islands yacht cruise (all meals included), rain
forest stay (all meals included), and touring as indicated.

This course is a study of Book 1 of Euclid's Elements,
which is sometimes cited as the most-frequently published book ever other than the Bible. Book 1 of the
Elements ends with the Pythagorean Theorem,
Proposition 47. We'll first work backward from that
theorem, considering propositions Euclid cites in proving it (46,41, and 4), and then the propositions he cites
in proving those propositions, and so on, gaining familiarity with about 30 major propositions but especially
34,4, and 3, the ones most used. We'll consider other
logically-sound ways of arranging these propositions
and think about the aesthetic reasons Euclid made his
arrangement. After getting to Proposition 1, we'll consider the common notions, definitions, and postulates,
learn about how attempts to prove Euclid's fifth postulate led to non-Euclidean geometry in the nineteenth
century, and see more logically rigorous geometric
axiom systems of the twentieth century. Then we'll
read the book forward, seeing how the other propositions fit in and seeing how they lend insight into
Euclid's aesthetic choices.

"During World War 11, British military leaders asked
scientists and engineers to analyze several military
problems: the deployment of radar and the management of convoy, bombing, antisubmarine, and mining
operations. The application of mathematics and the scientific method to military operations was called operations research. Today, the term Operations Research (or
often, management science) means a scientific approach
to decision making, which seeks to determine how best
to design and operate system, usually under conditions
requiring the allocation of scarce resources." - Wayne
L. Winston
The main objectives of this course are the discussion of
several mathematical models used in operations
research (OR) and the use of mathematics and the existing computer packages (such as LINDO) in solving
real-life problems in OR. Students in applied mathematics, economics, business and any management-related area are encouraged to take this course. The evaluation is based on homework assignments, two tests and
one final project.

Much of American history and culture is derived from
that of European cities such as Munich, Prague, Vienna,
and Budapest. This course provides an opportunity to
visit some of the great Central and Eastern European
cultural centers that provided the impetus for development of cultural life in the New World.
Group discussions and assigned readings increase student sensitivity to architecture and other visual art seen
in the museums. Students listen critically to concerts of
musical masterpieces heard at each site. Relationships
between the various art mediums come to life through
these experiences. There is also ample time for independent exploration.
Evaluation is based on full participation in all courserelated group activities, a daily professional journal,
art/music critique sheets, and exams over material covered.

and all of our heart. This course will take nothing from
the heart, whether you are married or not. It will, however, increase your certainty and the possibility for
meaning and intimacy in your life with a partner. In
the context of Christian teachings, many theories will be
studied, with particular attention given to the work of
C.G. Jung, and will be applied to the marital relationship primarily, and to the family secondarily.

For some in our society science is the driving engine of
a better, more secure life and the basis for a philosophy
of life. For others, science and its associated technologies, along with its invitation to become a global world
view, constitute a grave threat. Some Christians particularly feel threatened by science. This course will
address these matters in two ways. First, it will begin
with a historical overview of the relations between sci-
ence and the Christian faith, emphasizing three periods:
the origins of the Christian faith, the development of
"modern" science and mechanistic philosophy, and the
re-evaluation of science and nature in the 20th century.
Second, it will study systematically the world views of
science and religion to see how they compare.
Class time will be divided among a variety of activities
including lectures, whole class discussions, small group
tutorials, and an extended simulation exercise in developing a space colony, drawing from the ideas developed in the course. Course evaluation will be based on
two short exams, participation in small group tutorials
based on assigned readings, a group project presentation, and a major synthesis paper based on the group
project and course materials.

Experiential learning occurs as students volunteer 80
hours in a service agency or institution which students
select. The placement must be approved by course faculty and supervised by agency staff. In the context of
this volunteer experience students have opportunity to
interact with human service professionals, clients, and
communities of diverse culture/ethnic heritage and
special concerns (age, socio-economic status, lifestyles,
developmental/physical abilities, gender, etc.). The
course is designed to help students learn about themselves in relation to a possible major or future career in
the human services.
The three-hour weekly seminar is devoted to discussions which assist students in integrating agency experiences and readings which explore the historical development of social welfare as an institution and the
nature and value system of social work as a profession.
Students will also examine and critique the manner in
which social, economic, and political structures impact
diverse groups in society. Students will focus on their
own responsibilities in society, as well as examine their
personal value system in relation to special concerns,
such as poverty and the "isms".

Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 4- 1-4 calendar, with Fall and
Spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a
four-week January Interim. Interim is intended to be a time
for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and
learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and
ways not possible during the regular term.
Since one Interim course equals a full-time load, students
should plan to spend the sanie amount of time in class and
preparing for class as they would for a four-course load during Fall or Spring semesters. Students can register for only
one course credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund
for a student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
It is expected that students will attend every class period;
however, each instructor will establish the precise attendance
policy for hislher course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a
PassINo Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only
on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered for either upper or lower division
credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and the
student must select which is most appropriate for their needs.
Students registering for upper division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading
standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees,
although intended to be accurate, may change and students
should check with the instructor to verify the final costs.
To graduate, a student under the 34 course Liberal Arts
Perspective requirements is required to complete two
Interim courses, but three Interim courses may count
toward graduation.
For any student entering after January 1993, a maximum of
two Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33
total course credits required for graduation. The number of
required Interim courses is adjusted for transfer students.
Transfer students should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form, or consult the Registrar. Additional Interim credits
which can count toward the 33 course credits required may be
taken by students who repeat a course for credit in which a
grade below 2.0 was earned, or who need to make up for a
regular term in which they failed or withdrew from a course.
Additional Interim courses not counted toward the 33 course
credits required may be used to fulfill other degree requirements. That is, no more than two Interim course credits may
be taken for credit toward 33, but additional Interim courses
may be used to fulfill major, minor or general education

any other 4-1-4 institution which offers a reciprocal Interim
arrangement. Catalogs of these Interim programs can be consulted in the Registrar's Office. Registration for Interims at the
other ACTC colleges will be at Augsburg during the regular
registration period. Most courses taught during the Interim at
other 4-1-4 schools are accepted for credit by Augsburg, but
may not necessarily be accepted as meeting Augsburg's general education requirements. This qualification particularly
affects courses offered in religion.
Augsburg College welcomes students from other 4- 1-4
schools for the January Interim without tuition charges, provided the student's home institution agrees not to charge
tuition to Augsburg students for the January term. The waiver

CHM 100-1
Instructor: Arlin Gyberg
This course is developed in the perspective of a person living in
a modern, high technology society such as the United States. It
assumes that before one can evaluate a moral or societal issue
of a scientific nature one at the least must be able to understand the science involved. Anything less is an impression
rather than an informed decision. As we develop scientific
concepts we will at the same time relate them to an abundance of current issues. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers, plastics, birth control, food abundance and food shortage, food additives and processing and synthesis, organically
and non-organically grown food, chemical dependency, licit
and illicit drugs, the energy crisis and the debates about
sources of energy, the greenhouse effect and nuclear waste
storage, pollution, genetic engineering and much more. Many
of these problems are chemical in nature. Thus, in learning
about chemistry, via lecture and in-class discussion, we can be
helped to understand ourselves, our society, our world and
even some of the universe. The grade for the course is based
on a percentage of the total score for total points on the daily
quizzes.

using the Scheme programming language. We will introduce
an alternative approach to some of the most important concepts of Computer Science including problem solving, simulation, object-oriented programming, functional programming, procedural and data abstraction, and program interpretation. Students with knowledge of programming will benefit
from exposure to the alternative paradigm represented by the
Scheme language and will acquire a concrete understanding
of how these important concepts are actually implemented in
real languages and machines.

EDS 495-1
Instructor: Mary Ann Bayless
Why are some things easy for a person to learn while others
seem harder? Why does the same task seem easier at one
moment and more difficult just a few hours later? Why do
some children struggle with seemingly simple assignments
but then suddenly master them? Why do more people suffer
with learning disabilities and weak short-term memory than
ever before? Each of us wants to be an efficient and happy
learner; but most often, no one has shown us how to be our
own lifelong learning coaches. In the last decade, work in
neuro-physiology has given us a whole new set of insights
about how the various parts of the brain actually work to produce learning and high-level functioning. Educational kinesiologists have taken these insights and produced simple but effective ways to increase the learning comfort of each individual.
This course will provide both the theory for each participant
to understand herlhis own unique learning needs and the
practice for becoming an efficient and joyful learner. We will
study learning development, brainlmind function, and the
nature of learning blocks. We will discuss the misuse of brain
dominance theory and learn routines for overcoming learning
blocks and integrating hemisphere functions. There will be
two tests and two demonstrations required of each student,
and upper-division students will have to do two reviews of
relevant research. The course uses two paperback texts. Very
useful for prospective teachers and parents.

be given to the vision and sensibility of each poet and to the
themes of their poems, especially those images and statements
that concern philosophical, historical, psychological and cultural values. Through comparison and contrast, students will
be expected to formulate reasonable interpretations of selected
poets and poems and to express their discoveries in class discussion and short papers. A final examination will be given
and two interpretive papers about three to five pages in lengtk
will be assigned. For upper division credit, the student will als
read and give a written class report on a book that discusses
contemporary poetry or a contemporary poet; this choice,

The city has the power either to nourish or corrupt the human
soul. As a garden, the city tames and shapes nature to provide
an environment congenial to humanity. As a wilderness, the
city suggests the lack of moral restraint and self-control. This
course explores these themes in (mostly modern American)
essays, short stories, plays, poetry and films. Taking its cue
from Alfred Kazin's A Walker in the City,the course will
include a service project and field trips in which we will
explore some of the "gardens" and "wildernesses" of the Twin
Cities. Course grades will be based on a journal, two short
papers, class attendance and contributions to discussion.

This course reassesses the work of the American cinema's
greatest genius, Orson Welles. From his early radio plays with
the Mercury Theater, through his groundbreaking seminal
1941 film, "Citizen Kane," to his later Shakespearean adaptations, students will encounter and study all of the Welles
extant canon. Welles' stylistic impact on other filmmakers will
be examined, as well as the aesthetic choices Welles made in
transferring other literary forms (such as novels and plays) to
cinema. The course will also explore Welles' re-reading of
developing Hollywood studio techniques and formulas (such
as his deepening of the archetypal psychology presented in
classic film noir), and the changing critical reception of his
work.
Students will be responsible for viewing all the films; many of
the screenings will take place outside of class time. A journal,
two short papers and a final video project are required.
' Students registering under ENG 482 will have to write a long

lnstructor: Don Gustafson
This interim experience is designed to look at the area of
South Asia (primarily India) that is home to one-fifth of the
people of our world. We'll use novels, films, some standard
historical writings and current South Asia periodicals to consider the impact that colonialism, nationalism and various
phases of modernization have had on this old, honored and
traditional culture. We'll read the marriage ads and talk about
social structure, consider the spot at Ayodhya that has
prompted Hindus to massacre Muslims, think on the Christlikeness of a Gandhi, and perhaps have time to note one or
two of the contemporary religious phenomena. Looking at
South Asians helps us to see ourselves in a fuller perspective.
The course will include the usual pedagogical devices of
lectures, discussions, some short reaction papers and tests
(including a final).
Students enrolling for upper division credit will be expected
to have at least one prior college history class, to complete a
paper or project beyond the regular assignments, and to be
tested apart from lower division students.

Many people believe that the Civil War was the most important event in the history of the United States, one that transformed the nature of American society. Put more broadly, the
years between the mid-1840s and the late 1870s saw questions
about such fundamental principles as slavery and freedom
resolved; others, however, continue to trouble us to this day.

Does history influence economic theory? Or does economic
theory shape history? This course will explore the history of
western economic thought and how these writings affected
the development of various economic systems. The course
begins with the rise of mercantilism in the 16th century.
Topics will include the industrial take-off and the creation of
a waged-labor force in the 18th century, the rise of laissez-
faire economic principles and "free-trade" imperialism in the
19th century, and the subsequent challenges of communism
and the rise of the welfare state in the 20th century. We will
read substantial portions of the classic economic thinkers,
including Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Hume,
Jeremy Bentham, David Ricardo, Sidney and Beatrice Webb,
Karl Marx, Max Weber, Alfred Marshall, Thorstein Veblen,
John Maynard Keynes, William Beveridge and Milton
Friedman. The course will also address the long-standing issues
of child labor, poverty and women's roles in the work force.
Students will be evaluated using class participation, discussion
and writing assignments, including a short term paper and a

Interested in hands-on experience and making a difference?
In this Interim course you will work, learn and serve through
an interdisciplinary team internship approach. You will spend
approximately 20-30 hours per week at a local neighborhood
non-profit internship site working on a special project with
three or four other students. Your internship team will have
hands-on experience in an agency that strives to meet the
needs of the community, and you will develop a better understanding of organizations that are a part of the city and why
and how they function. Two mornings a week you will meet
in a seminar with all the internship teams to share experiences
and explore ideas and insights into the critical issues of urban
communities and organizations. Students will complete short
seminar exercises, set team internship goals, keep an individual journal and make a final group presentation of their
internship. Upper-division students will be expected to make
more advanced analysis, connecting theories of coursework

Much of American history and culture is derived from that of
European cities such as London, Paris and Amsterdam. This
course provides an opportunity to visit some of the great
European cultural centers that provided the impetus for
development of cultural life in the New World.
Group discussions and assigned readings increase student
sensitivity to architecture and other visual art seen in the
museums. Students listen critically to concerts of musical
masterpieces heard at each site. Relationships between the
various art mediums come to life through these experiences.
There is also ample time for independent exploration.
Evaluation is based on full participation in all course-related
group activities, a daily professional journal, arttmusic critique sheets, and exams over material covered.

This interdisciplinary course will be co-taught by Music and
Theatre faculty. The goal will be to integrate training and per-
formance techniques from music and theatre to help students
gain knowledge, experience and skills in various genres of
Music Theatre (musicals, opera, plays involving singing and
music, and new music theatre). The course will also explore
the power of Music Theatre that links it with ritual, ceremony
and spiritual tradition, seen cross-culturally in ancient Greek
drama, Chinese Opera and Japanese Kabuki. Another goal of
the course is to give students the opportunity to increase their
level of comfort and skill on stage. The course will culminate
in a public performance of scenes from Music Theatre.
Grading will be based on student scenelrole research, class and
rehearsal commitment, and final performance. Interested students will be auditioned in December so that appropriate

MAKING LIGHT OF MATTER: AN

TO LASERSAND SPECTROSCOPY
PHY 337-1
Instructor Stuart Anderson
The quest to understand how light and matter interact is at
the heart of modern physics, and lasers are probably the most
ubiquitous technical product of these ideas. This course will
begin with a short overview of optics needed for understanding imaging, beam control and dispersion, including the
nature of light, reflection, refraction and interference. The
stage is then set for treating super-radiant devices and lasers
and analyzing the effects of cavity design on output characteristics. The course will conclude by applying these concepts to
the study of atoms and molecules via the emission, absorption and scattering of light. Considerable emphasis will be
placed on laboratory experiences and scientific communication; only one-third of the class time will be used for formal
lectures and discussion. Grades will be determined on the
basis of weekly evaluation of laboratory notebooks, oral and
poster presentations, and two examinations.

This course requires students to struggle with questions of
social justice in America. Students will develop and defend
their own standards of social justice and use those standards
to assess conditions in urban America. To pass this course,
students must engage in a substantial exchange of ideas with
fellow classmates in class discussions.
The course has two goals: to develop student thinking about
social justice, including greater awareness of conflicts between
justice and other values and to increase student ability to
understand urban problems as issues of justice and other central values.
Evaluation will be based on participation in discussion and
other class activities, on two short (4-6 pp.) papers and on a
final exam. Because of the compressed time frame of the
Interim schedule and the importance of material covered on
the first day of class, NO ONE WILL BE ADMITTED TO
THE CLASS WHO DOES NOT ATTEND THE FIRST DAY
OF CLASS, unless first receiving the permission of the
instructor.

During 1996, elections in Israel, Russia and the United
States-as well as political violence in Israel and Lebanoncreated a new context for the Middle East negotiation process.
This course will explore these changes and provide deeper
background for understanding the intractability of the ArabIsraeli conflict.
Drawing upon several theories of conflict and conflict resolution, we will study the historical development of the clash
between different nationalist claims to the land that Israelis
and Palestinians consider their home. How this conflict drew
in neighboring Arab states and superpower interests will be
reviewed. The strategic bargaining positions of the major participants will be analyzed as well as the roles of the United
States and United Nations in the conflict area, known as the
Arab Mashriq. Additional regional factors, such as radical
Islamic movements and tensions in the Persian Gulf, will be
analyzed for their impact on the longer-term negotiation
process. We will consider the potential for geo-political
expansion of the conflict into nearby regions.
Students will present two small oral presentations and one
major oral critique of analytic articles (for 295 credit) and
books (for 495 credit). A mid-term examination and class discussion will provide additional evaluations. Feature length
films from Middle East film producers will complement
course readings and lectures.

course is designed to help students learn about themselves in
relation to a possible major or future career in the human services.
The three-hour weekly seminar is devoted to discussions that
assist students in integrating agency experiences and readings
which explore the historical development of social welfare as
an institution and the nature and value system of social work
as a profession. Students will also examine and critique the
manner in which social, economic and political structures
impact diverse groups in society. Students will focus on their
own responsibilities in society, as well as examine their personal value system in relation to special concerns, such as

Introduction

Introduction to Interim
Interim is an integral part of the school year at Augsburg
College. The College follows a 4- 1-4 calendar, with fall and
spring semesters of approximately 14 weeks separated by a
four-week January Interim. Interim is intended to be a time
for both students and faculty to employ styles of teaching and
learning and to investigate questions and topics in places and
ways not possible during the regular term.
Interim is an opportunity for intense concentration on a
single course of study. Since one Interim course equals a fulltime load, students should plan to spend the same amount of
time in class and preparing for class as they would for a fourcourse load during fall or spring semesters. Students should
be prepared for at least 40 class hours during the Interim and
should anticipate the equivalent of the normal two hours of
study for each class hour. Since the course length is only 3'12
weeks, attendance at every class is imperative. It is expected
that students will attend every class period; however, each
instructor will establish the precise attendance policy for
hislher course. Students can register for only one course
credit during Interim. There is no tuition refund for a
student who chooses not to enroll in an Interim course.
Most Interim courses are graded traditionally on a 4.0 to 0.0
scale. Students generally have the option to register on a
PassINo Credit basis. A few Interim courses are graded only
on the PIN system; this is indicated in the course description.
Some courses are offered for either Upper or Lower Division
credit. Such Interim courses have two numbers listed and
students must select which is most appropriate for their needs.
Students registering for Upper Division credit should anticipate additional assignments and a more rigorous grading
standard. Some courses, especially courses with travel requirements, have additional fees associated with them. These fees,
although intended to be accurate, may change and students
should check with the instructor to verify the final costs.
Students are required to complete at least 33 course credits for
graduation. This course total must include two Interims for
students who enter with fewer than 14 courses. A maximum
of four Interim course credits may be counted toward the 33
course credits required for graduation. Transfer students
should refer to their transfer credit evaluation form or consult
the Registrar for the number of Interim courses required.
Day school students (3.0 credits or more for fall) can take a
total of 1.0 course credits. They may take two half-credit
classes. They may also take a lifetime sport (zero credit). The
lifetime sport is at no additional charge if they are full-time
(fall term). If less than full-time they will be charged.
Weekend students can take 1.0 course credits in Interim as a
cross registration but will be charged Day School tuition
($1,497) per course credit. If they do so they may take only
1.0 additional course credits in Weekend College for winter
trimester.

Chemistry for Changing Times
CHM 100-1
lnstructoc Arlin Gyberg
This course is developed from the perspective of a person living in a modern, high-technology society such as the United
States. It assumes that before one can evaluate a moral or societal issue of a scientific nature one at least must be able to
understand the science involved. Anything less is an impression rather than an informed decision. As we develop scientific
concepts we will at the same time relate them to an abundance
of current issues. We live in a world of pesticides, fertilizers,
plastics, birth control, food abundance and food shortage,
food additives and processing and synthesis, organically and
non-organically grown food, chemical dependency, licit and
illicit drugs, the energy crisis and the debates about sources of
energy, the greenhouse effect and nuclear waste storage, pollution, genetic engineering and much more. Many of these
problems are chemical in nature. Thus, in learning about
chemistry, via lecture and in-class discussion, we can begin to
understand ourselves, our society, our world and even some
of the universe. The grade for the course is based on a percentage of the total score of total points on the daily quizzes.

Personal Economics
EGO 495-1
Instructor: Satya Gupta
This course will examine, understand and analyze three
aspects of quality life-worldly assets, physical health and the
self. Quality life is defined by many people in terms of the
amount of money one has. The more money one has, the
more command on commodities one can enjoy. We work hard
most of our lives to fulfill our dreams of having a large home,
fancy car, boat, vacation home, education for our children and
enjoyable retirement. We plan a great deal for all these dreams.
It is surprising that we plan 30 or 40 years from now. It is also
true that at some point in life one asks oneself "Who am I
really?" and "What am I here for?" In this third component of
the course we shall critically reflect on our values, ethics and
self-understanding. Knowledge of the self leads us to a higher
plane of thinking and behaving. Thus, we shall try to construct
a well-balanced portfolio of quality life. Students will find the
course very interesting, thought provoking and challenging.
Grades will be based on three quizzes, one paper and discussions in class.

Instructor: Bob Cowgill
This course is predicated on the assumption that immersion
in all the arts benefits a writer's investigation of any specific
art; or, in other words, that before you become a specialist, it
helps to become a passionate generalist. The class will balance
two related goals: first, to experience and talk about as many
contemporary Twin Cities cultural happenings as is practicable (we will search out and encounter the most exciting, controversial and significant programs in theater, dance, gallery
exhibition, music and film); second, to examine critical methods of observation and reception of art and consider ways in
which writers can enhance the public's understanding and
interaction with artistic culture. Students will keep a critic's
journal, write four short papers and take a final exam.
Students registering under English 482 will have to develop a
10 page critical project in conjunction with one art event that
occurs during the course's span. To register, students must
have successfully completed English 111, must have the willingness, the money and the time to attend events and to
transport themselves to various cultural locations throughout
the Twin Cities.

will be given to the vision and sensibility of each poet and to
the themes of their poems, especially those images and statements that concern philosophical, historical, psychological
and cultural values. Through comparison and contrast, students will be expected to formulate reasonable interpretations
of selected poets and poems and to express their discoveries
in class discussion and short papers. A final examination will
be given and two interpretive papers about three to five pages
in length will be assigned. For Upper Division credit, the student will also read and give a written class report on a book
that discusses contemporary poetry or a contemporary poet;
this choice, based upon recommendations, must be approved
by the instructor.

How accurate is our understanding of the past? How do we
attempt to secure that understanding? Why is history biased?
Can there be history without bias? Should history have entertainment as a goal? These questions, and others, form the basis
for an inquiry into the writing of history and the portrayal of
historical characters, events and themes depicted in the cinema. Filmmakers have presented history in ways ranging from
the mundane to the sublime. In this course we will view selected films and through readings, lectures and discussions examine some of the successes and failures of "History by
Hollywood." This course is intended for first-year students.

Science and Religion
HON 401-1
lnstructor: Mark Engebretson
For some in our society science is the driving engine of a better, more secure life and the basis for a philosophy of life. For
others, science and its associated technologies, along with its
invitation to become a global world view, constitute a grave
threat. This course will address these matters in two ways.
First, it will begin with a historical overview of the relations
between science and the Christian faith, emphasizing three
periods: the origins of the Christian faith, the development of
"modern" science and mechanistic philosophy, and the reevaluation of science and nature in the twentieth century.
Second, it will study systematically the world views of science
and religion to see how they compare.
Class time will be divided among lectures, discussions, small
group tutorials and an extended simulation exercise in developing a space colony. Course evaluation will be based on two short
exams, participation in small group tutorials based on assigned
readings, a group project presentation and a major synthesis
paper based on the group project and course materials.

Universals of Language
LIN 290-1
Instructor: John Schmit
Is our ability to use language acquired by learning, or is it present from birth? What do all languages have in common
despite their obvious differences? How can learning a foreign
language be so frustrating for adults, while young children
learning their native language seem to be having fun?
Questions such as these have fascinated people throughout
history, and recent developments in linguistics have begun to
provide some credible answers. The purpose of this course is
to survey the most remarkable findings in this area and
engage in some principled speculation as to what they mean.
This course is open to all students with a healthy curiosity
about language. No other prerequisite. There will be two tests
and a short paper for class presentation.

Topics/Discrete Mathematics
MAT 481-1
Instructor: Su Doree
Explore the discrete side of mathematics as we consider questions such as ....How many phone numbers start with the 612
area code? What's the shortest route between two cities using
scheduled flights? The term "discrete" refers to separate, distinct
objects such as the whole numbers. Kenneth Rosen, a mathematician at Bell Labs, in the introduction to his text Discrete
Mathematics and Its Applications, explains that ... discrete
mathematics is used whenever objects are counted, when relationships between finite sets are studied and when processes
involving a finite number of steps are analyzed. A key reason
for the growth in the importance of discrete mathematics is
that information is stored and manipulated by computing
machines in a discrete fashion. The course is a rigorous introduction to discrete mathematics including topics such as sets,
logic,,functions, recursions, combinatorics, elementary probability theory and graph theory (as in networks). Algorithmic
thinking and mathematical reasoning is emphasized throughout the course. This course will be a useful and interesting
complement to calculus and continuous mathematics. The
course is intended for students pursuing a mathematics major
or a computer science major with a mathematics minor.
Students are expected to be at least a little familiar with theoretical mathematics and proof. No specific computer experience is expected. Evaluation is based on three examinations
and a small portfolio of homework problems. Please contact
Su Dorke for further information.
