 1» U GUSTAFSON H.C.3950001 RADICALS.PAST «. PRES ' T ARR. 4 il VUPi r mcnts: biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, psychol- ogy- c. A course from one or two of the following depart- ments: economics, history, political science, sociology; and one or two courses from the Foreign Language Department to make a total of three courses in these five departments. 3. One urban emphasis course. 4. Two semesters of recreational activities or, one semester of recreational activities plus demonstrated proficiency in one or two sports. 5. A course in writing or demonstrated proficiency in writing. A student enrolled at Augsburg before fall, 1972, may stay under the former requirements or switch to the new ones under 4-1-4. A major in a specific field will consist of 8-10 classes, and a minor will be 5 courses in a department. Along with the general education requirement of 11 courses and the various classes in a specific major or minor a student is left to choose from six to eight electives. The change to 4-1-4 has prompted the expression of both advantages and disadvantages: Two important advantages are that 4-1-4 will make trans- fer to and from Augsburg easier, and that it will almost assuredly be an asset to the new student recruiting program since, according to Dr. Davis, “4-1-4 attracts more in- quiries and interest from potential students than any other calendar. One advantage commonly stated by students and faculty is the opportunity for students to concentrate on just one course during the interim. The schedule will be intensive, but the student can devote all of his time to just that course. Also, interim provides a change of pace, and an opportunity for the student to take a course of special interest to him. In addition to classes offered at the college, groups of stu- dents will be able to travel to Mexico to further their study of the Spanish language; or go to Florida to study marine biology. There will also be classes organized in the Minne- apolis area. For instance, students interested in elementary or secondary education may be able to sit in on a scries of classroom experiences; or journalism students could take their interim through various newspaper offices. Another advantage is ending the first semester at Christmas with carry-over after vacation. An important disadvantage is that some students may have difficulty Tn scheduling all their preferred classes in just two semesters each year, especially those who will be student leaching one full semester. This will be an important problem for those enrolled here before fall. 1972; the soph- omores and juniors in 1972. All in all, though, the switch to 4-1-4 should prove to be an exciting and beneficial change for Augsburg. I.F.FT: Dr. Davis and Mildred Joel discuss plans for the 4-1-4 program. 17

A New Program for Augsburg Here We Go With 4-1-4 “Unity, be it political or educational, while encouraging creativity and power, need not. paradoxically, destroy indi- viduality and uniqueness.” The preceding comment was made by Dr. F. Mark Davis in reference to Augsburg's recent decision to adopt the 4-1-4 calendar starting September. 1972. The change will promote unity among the five private colleges in the Twin Cities area, in that each school will be on the 4-1-4 calendar, encouraging a greater reciprocity between the schools. Students will be able to take courses at any of the schools, which means to each school a more effective and efficient use of professors and resources avail- able, students will have a greater opportunity to explore and develop their own creativity, an extremely important value of a college education. As Davis said, this unity need not rob each college, nor each student, of their respective individuality and unique- ness. Each institution will have its own professors and stu- dents, in itself making the school unique and totally unlike any other college. Working together, the people here can use these new resources to help Augsburg continue as a first- rate college. By adopting the new calendar, the faculty hopes to achieve three goals, “greater cooperation with the St. Paul private colleges,” Davis explained greater opportunity for ed- ucational experimentation and adaptation, and greater pos- sibilities for institutional distinctiveness. What exactly is this new 4-1 -4 system? It consists of 15 weeks of four classes in the fall semester, one course for four weeks in January (interim), and four courses for fifteen weeks during spring semester. Classes will meet for cither three sixty-minute sessions, or two ninty- mrnute sessions each week. With the new system come new general education re- quirements. They are: 1. Three courses in religion. 2. Liberal Arts: a. A course from at least two of the following: literature: philosophy; art or music; speech or drama. b. A course from at least two of the following depart- 16
