To Burton Fosse and his crew To your planned increases I say screw'’! When inflation is level at five percent You say you have to raise the rent. To this we do not disagree After all. teachers don’t work for free. But when to the cost of inflation you double Then we are all in a lot of trouble. If the price rises were justified. I would not bitch, After all, I’m not trying to get rich. But when they just raise prices to react To tuition increases by Carleton and Mac. You set tuition at over three grand. Do you think money appears on demand? Where this money goes I wish I knew For the money, the services are quite few. Says the planning council. This increase will affect few. And of incoming freshmen this may be true, But as for future Alumni, someday we will all be. And then they will come making requests of me. And in those days, when they come asking for more. I will ask then to look back at the score. When I was young and in financial mess. They kept raising tuition to excess. Don’t misconstrue, it’s not the teachers I hate. Au Contraire. I think they are just great. It’s the rise in administrators I resent A ten year rise of eighty-six percent! Augsburg. Augsburg my beloved school. Do you take me for a fool?

ACTIVITIES FAIR AND ICE CREAM SOCIAL The 1977-78 school year got off to a great start, thanks to the efforts and ideas of Caea Smith and Dennis Meyer. Together, they instigated an activities fair which included 25-30 organizations. The fair was created to familiarize new and old Auggies with the different academic, social, and extra-curricular departments and organizations at Augsburg. Highlighting the two day fair was an ice cream social in the college center. Several prestigious Auggies helped out by taking their turns at the scoops. Heading the list was President Oscar Anderson, who seemed confused as to whether his job was to serve the ice cream or to eat it. With such a variety of flavors, who could resist the temptation! 18 OCTOBER 10, 1977 . . THE FIRST SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too. Albert Schweitzer HELLO SOUND BARRIER, GOODBYE 1-94 Late in the fall of 1977, city crews began construction on a sound barrier along 1-94. In it's completed form, the tall wooden structure extends from 25th Street to Cedar Avenue, completely sheltering Augsburg from the freeway. At first, the barrier seemed like a good idea. It would cut down the noise from the freeway, and create a more intimate atmosphere at Augsburg. The question now is whether the barrier is hiding the school's location from the public (our big. beautiful sign on Urness doesn't show anymore), or whether it is protecting Augsburg from the noise and frustrations of the city. Many of us came to Augsburg because it was located in an urban environment. As for the noise, ask the Butler Palace boys. 19 l GSBl RG COLLEGE HOFSTtne CARSON MAYORAL CANDIDATES VISIT AUGSBURG The merely well-informed man is the most useless bore on God’s earth.

Augsburg’s Fine Arts Coordinator, Cynthy Mandl. worked with Guthrie people to create activities that expose students, faculty, and staff to the various aspects of the Guthrie Theater. On Tuesday, November 1. staff members from the Guthrie held workshops and discussions on the artistic, business, and technical aspects of the Theater. Highlighting the afternoon was a Guthrie Costume Show in the college center. Four weeks later, Auggies and their guests attended the Guthrie’s performance of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The Augsburg Chorale joined in the festivities by singing Christmas carols before the performance, aided by dancers and students selling candy on the steps of the Theater. After the play, we ate goodies provided by the college, and returned home to get ready for finals. Top: Dr. Ailene Cole modeling a costume from the Guthrie.

The Park Board provided the trees at a reduced cost to Augsburg, while the students provided the necessary labor for planting. There were 25 crews, each consisting of at least three students, which were involved in the planting process. Each crew was responsible for the watering and care of their tree until winter set in. Augsburg Grounds Supervisor. Den- nis Easley, and Student Body Presi- dent Eric Spore, deserve recognition for the undertaking and organization of this event. On hand for the super- vision of this restoration were Den- nis Easley, and Biology Professors, Erwin Mickelberg and Dennis Sjo- gren. President Oscar Anderson and a few faculty members were also present to encourage the students and support the cause. Not only is this a college community project which will restore the beauty of our campus, but it is also a project to be used in the future as a teach- ing aid for the biology department. The idea is to plant the trees! (Stacy Teel). Above: Carl Priest. Dr. Mickelberg. Below (Left to Right): Kevin Bonderud. Jeff Peterson. Bev Ranum. Denise Karalis. Mike Sparby. Dennis Meyer.

There are always older people around, attending luncheons and convocations, but few students seem to know who they are. In 1977, we found out. Homecoming is for the alumni, a chance to return to their alma mater and visit with old friends. It is an opportunity for the college to honor alumni whose achievements call for special recognition. No theme could have better represented the alumni at Homecoming than the title of Dr. David Wood’s book, Telling Tales Out of School. The book is a collection of stories about Augsburg alumni. Stella Rosenquist, Alumni Coordinator, developed the idea into a day of classroom appearances by alumni. Students heard tales of the “good old days at Augsburg, and caught a glimpse of the success stories of which Augsburg has been a part. Special honors were given to alumni at the Augsburg Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet. The alumni inducted at the ceremony were Dr. Gerald Person. Stanford Nelson, Clair Strommen. David Dillon, R. Luther (Lute) Olson, and Dan Anderson. All were participants in athletics at Augsburg, and continued to be recognized for their athletic abilities after graduation. Dr. Gerald Person is a professor of education at San Diego State University in California. Dr. Person served as athletic coach at Wisconsin State University. Eau Claire, from 1952-1957. At Augsburg he played baseball and basketball. Stanford Nelson, the football coach at Anoka High School, led his team in 13 consecutive victories between 1962 and 1964. The Anoka football team, under Mr. Nelson, won the state championship in 1964. While at Augsburg, Claire Strommen earned the Honor Athlete award, the H. Johnson Award, and was All-Conference baseball and basketball. Prior to attending Augsburg, Strommen signed with the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. He is now the president of Strommen Associates, an insurance and investment firm. David Dillon was named All-Conference his freshman year at Augsburg. From Augsburg, he went on to teach and coach at Buffalo, Minnehaha Academy. Philips Junior High, South High, and Blake. He died in 1976. R. Luther Olson served as co-captain of the football team at Augsburg. In 1956 he was chosen honor athlete. Lute coached at Long Beach State. Long Beach City College, and Huntington Beach. California. In 1974. he was named the head basketball coach at the University of Iowa. The final inductee of the Augsburg Athletic Hall of Fame in 1977 was Dan Anderson, a Vice President at Strommen Associates. He received several honors while at Augsburg, among them MIAC Player of the Year. NAIA All-American Team, and Dean's list. Mr. Anderson played professional basketball for three years with the New York Nets and the Minnesota Pipers, both of the ABA. With the addition of these men. the Augsburg Athletic Hall of Fame has inducted 29 alumni who have aided the advancement of Augsburg College through athletics. The Distinguished Alumni Convocation awarded citations to Dr. Norman G. Anderson. Dr. Maxine Berntsen, and Dr. Leland Fairbanks. Introductions by Dr. Oscar Anderson and faculty members, and musical selections by the Augsburg Band. Choir, Chorale, and Choir alumni highlighted the festivities. Since his graduation in 1939. Dr. Norman G. Anderson has ministered uniquely through a sign-off program on KSTP-TV for 25 years. His books Power for Tomorrow and The Priceless Ingredient grew out of Dr. Anderson's program. In addition, he holds the position of senior pastor at St. Stephen's Lutheran Church, West St. Paul. Dr. Leland Fairbanks is a medical doctor who has specialized in the area of health care delivery to American Indians. His most recent accomplishment was designing a program to train pharmacists as diagnosticians, to improve the medical service in remote areas. He presently holds faculty appointments in the medical schools of Tulane University, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of Arizona. The third recipient. Dr. Maxine Berntsen. was unable to attend the convocation. Dr. Berntsen is a linguist who teaches English to children in Pahltan, India. She has written a six-volume dictionary and grammatical study of the Marathi language, an Indian dialect. Dr. Berntsen is responsible for designing a national program for the teaching of English as a second language in India. Also honored at Homecoming was Ted Grindal. a 1977 graduate of Augsburg. Ted received the Alumni Scholarship for his post-graduate studies at the University of Minnesota Law School. Augsburg's 1977 Homecoming was a great success. The college managed to organize activities that captured the interest and involvement of students, parents, faculty, and alumni. Augsburg doesn't desert its graduates, but welcomes them back each year to renew old friendships and relive old memories. It's nice to know that after graduation, we can still come home.

Using the theme, ‘‘Roots, Achievements, and Projections, Black History Month activities at Augsburg started on Feb. 6 with a flag- raising ceremony and a ceremonial luncheon and concluded on Feb. 27 with closing ceremonies at Chapel. Other activities included a Career Day Forum, a Black Friday Dance. Gospel Night, and a Fashion and Talent Show. The activities were funded through the Black Student Union budget and fund-raisers. Ralph Crowder said that the segment of history involving Blacks has been unappreciated and misunderstood; even the Blacks don’t understand their history. Many of the events like Black History Month have become too stylized and are not taken back to the classroom to be incorporated into their education. He argues this point not on the level of morals or sensitivity of the Black race, but as a simply pragmatic and academic issue. Walter Bradley, a senior advisory board member of the Black Student Union (BSU). shared Mr. Crowder’s views on Black History Month. He said that it was not set up just for Black students, but as an educational and cultural experience for all by showing things from the Black perspective. Top: A Gospel Night guest.

The two day festivities began with a jazz concert on Friday. March 31, directed by Augsburg's own Doc’’ Carlson. Featured in the concert was woodwind player Eddie Daniels. Saturday provided an opportunity for jazz students to attend clinics conducted by the two featured artists and several Twin City jazz musicians. Each high school had an opportunity to perform and be critiqued by some of these same jazz musicians. Saturday night’s concert got off to a great start with a warm- up band composed of the high school and college jazz ensemble directors. Randy Purcell, lead trombonist with the Maynard Ferguson Band, was the featured artist of the night. Not only did the festival provide an excellent educational experience for the musicians involved, it provided the Augsburg community with two nights of fantastic entertainment. It was definately one of the highlights of the 1977-78 school year. Top: Jazz ensemble directors. Middle: Mark Black.

People will buy anything that’s one to a customer. Oh God. don’t let me wake up and want to put a fried egg on my head. Anyone who doesn't slow down at the sight of a police car is probably parked. One way to stop a runaway horse is to bet on him. 38 Fall not in love, therefore, it will stick to your face. FACES First. Augsburg is a college which has stressed the nature and value of a liberal education, one which proposed to expand your mind, expose your talents and enhance your critical faculties. At the same time, this college has been concerned with improving your career readiness for meaningful vocation after graduation. Second, in the Name of Christ you have been taught, by reason of the fact that Augsburg is an institution of the Christian Church in the Lutheran tradition. That Name is not a suffocating stricture but a freeing force at work in our midst toward the qualities of liberty, care, and service. Third. Augsburg is a small community of scholars, living and working in a dynamic urban community. ‘Here we learn to know people in the rich resource of our urban surroundings. Finally, this college has stressed for you only one kind of elitism, namely, that of quality in all we undertake, while maintaining at the same time a very egalitarian style. Augsburg is a place for uncommon, common people. Since these unique factors have shaped your uniqueness as a person, our expectations of you are also different. We who continue here at Augsburg after you leave will follow you in the fervent hope that you remain an open person, continue as a growing person, and develop as a caring person, in the Spirit of Jesus. PRESIDENT OSCAR A. ANDERSON Believe it. my friend, the world needs you. someone just like you. God bless you. all the way! Oscar A. Anderson President 40 A word to the 1978 Graduate: You graduate from Augsburg College a very different person. I say this because you are. per se. a unique individual. You brought that uniqueness to Augsburg when you came here for your education, and I trust your individuality has been respected. I would hope. also, that you are a different person by reason of the fact that Augsburg is a different place. Among institutions of higher learning. Augsburg has its own combination of characteristics which have further helped to make you a very different individual. And how is Augsburg different? Let me count the ways. In contrast to any sort of closed system the Christian message looks beyond the limitations of the immedi- ate to a culmination, to a goal. Rather than accepting in any final sense the limitations of time and space and thus being only an ‘empirical’ of historical person, the believer wishes to speak in terms of transcendence. Not simply the transcendence of God. but also of man- kind's ability to transcend both biology and history and the self. Man is an eschatological being; he is created for the future. The future, in God. is recognized as being open and ever new. The horizons of our exis- tence are not closed; they are moving back as we approach them. Life is one of anticipation, not merely remembering. Education in this context, is for chang- ing. for moving, rather than simply for preservation of a past that will not let us go. The last word or event, the final act is not yet upon us. and when it comes it will be God’s. This frees us to take ourselves, our words, our context, seriously, but not ultimately. The Christian is able to approach life with a hopeful tentativeness, which is based on the aware- ness that the final word is God’s and it is. in Jesus Christ, forgiven. That these and comparable themes are effectively pre- sent in our current educational systems is doubtful; that they should be is. in my judgment, certain. An education that is shaped by a Christian understanding of human beings, their nature, powers and destiny and by an overarching view of the continued working of the God of Abraham, Isaac. Jacob and Jesus will give a new breadth and depth to human life. Our studies will be illumined, our horizons will recede before us.” 41 taken from. Theological Presuppositions in American Higher Education. H LU O H LU Z) 9 CO CO cr o: o Q_ Ll. ‘‘What will you say of 1977-78? Will you find that it was a very good year? For the class of '78 a chapter is ending - for the class of '81 it has just begun. For freshmen, the world of work and or graduate education seems remote. For seniors, the future is now. For all of us, some issues were new, some resolved, and some lingered on. The world around us kept changing. Turbulent, activist 60’s were replaced by new priorities of the 70’s. A new conservatism grew out of tne treats of words like inflation, apartheid, liberation, energy, world hunger, vandalism, civil liberties, right-to-life. alcoholism, unemployment and others. The world seemed to shrink as people in Cambodia, Chile, Israel. South Africa, and Europe appeared on TV. Their troubles became ours and they no longer seemed so far away and easy to ignore. Simple things become complex. College didn’t provide easy answers. The more you studied, the more you learned, the more you realized that solutions were not simple, values can be self- serving, and even faith in God didn’t guarantee immediate answers for ethical choices. The more you learned, the more you found how much you didn't know. So what will you remember of the 1977-78 school year? The friend you met at Orientation who’s still a special person in your life? The first impression of a roommate who turned out different from what you expected? Fighting the rush hour traffic only to search for ages for a parking space? Water fights and a fire drills in Urness? Elevators that took forever? Finding Gerda’s picture missing again in Mortenson? A special party in an Annex House? Total confusion about the status of your financial aid? Registration lines that lasted until the class you wanted was closed? Twenty page term papers written in the middle of the night? Days you felt winter would never end or the rain would never stop? Sitting on the quad in the sunshine when you knew you should be in the library? The class you took P N because you knew you couldn’t handle it and then found out you did A work? Most often when someone looks back at a place, first thoughts are of people. Someone who smiled when you needed it or reached out with a hug. Someone who talked in chapel and said what you needed to hear. A professor who got you excited about a discipline that became the core for the work and study of your life. People who made you laugh, cry. get mad, get fired up. Serious, silly brilliant, boring, dumb, stimulating, caring people. Gibran wrote “Work is love made visible_____if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half a man's hunger.” From all of us who work on this campus, best wishes. We hope our love was visable. 42 This year marks a decade for me at Augsburg College. This year also signals a change for me. In 1978-1979, I will not be at Augsburg. Recently a student friend asked me about my return to the South. “A part of you, she told me. stays here even though you go away. Such a thought pleased me. A part of Augsburg. I responded, goes with me to North Carolina. Some of us do not make good immigrants. The pull of our past grows stronger in some instances. (August Weenas returned to Norway after serving as Augsburg's first president.) But where we return will never be the same because of where we have been. Augsburg has been a good decade for me. To have worked with the English faculty, one of the most creative, energetic, and provocative departments on campus, has been a privilege. To have shared the goodwill and the concerns of a college president and to have served as associate to three deans has been memorable. To have been a part of a dynamic and ebullient faculty and staff during a catalytic decade in American higher education has been an honor. To have known and taught some of the most astute and concerned students has been the highest of rewards. ASSOCIATE DEAN MARK DAVIS It is the people of Augsburg that I will long cherish. While the statement is now cliched. it is her people that make Augsburg great, certainly not her ivied towers or pastoral landscape. One morning this week. I came downstairs to greet my ten-year-old son as he practiced his piano. The night before we had sold our house. His eyes were swimming with tears. I don't want to move. he told me. I suddenly realized that while my roots are Southern, his are not. Would that life's decisions were simple and uncomplicated. . . by Mark Davis CO LU o 3 — CO Ll_ O LU Q LU H (J o co CO O X I- o cr COORDINATOR OF FINE ARTS CYNTHY MANDL 41 I have never been hurt by anything I didn't say.

The art department has been busy this past year keeping our College Center decorated with exhibits by various members of the art faculty, students, and other works from outside the college. These exhibits are the main outreach of the department to the rest of the Augsburg community. Detail from printed work by Robert Friedrichsen. 60 Above and below: Works from the exhibit The Black Kingdoms.

Rogers recreated a Lac LaBelle in this painting. 62 The evening in March that Robert Bly spent with the Augsburg community was marked with anticipation and touched with excitement. It is not too often that one of America’s most important contemporary poets finds the time in their busy schedule to come and read their poetry at a small Lutheran college. But Bly did come, and was able to captivate a large, enthusiastic audience for three hours as he read from his new collection of poetry, THIS BODY IS MADE OF CAMPHOR AND GOPHERWOOD. The 20 poems in the book that were read truly reflected Bly’s unusual talent for combining the elements of spirituality, imagination, and eroticism. An unusual feature of this particular reading of poetry was that Bly read his poems within the actual series of snail shells that artist Gendron Jensen illustrated the book with. The combined artistic talents of Bly and Jensen made for a very special evening for the Augsburg community. Above: Robert Bly reads his poetry surrounded by Gendron Jensen's illustrations. 8elow: Artist Jensen autographs books for some of his fans. 63 TWO BY TWO FALL PLAY Six years after its opening on Broadway, the musical Two By Two made its Minneapolis premiere at our own Augsburg Little Theater. The musical, based on the book The Flowering Peach by Peter Stone, attempted to outlay the human characteristics of the Biblical story of Noah and the ark in an animated setting focusing on light laughter and sentiment. A production of this story, including music by composer Richard Rogers, is an enjoyable project for any theater group. Above: Noah and his family - Left to right: Ann Marie Brennan, Maureen Conroy.

OUR TOWN Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to realize his own true worth. Albert Schweitzer I wanted to do OUR TOWN for several reasons. It is a play which deals with human rituals, faith, vulnerabilities, and the richness of this earthy life. It is a play which focuses on acting and explains the versatility and magic of actors. And they were admirable! I thank the entire cast and crew for this experience of intimacy and sharing. They have my sincere thanks, respect, and love. Julie Driver.

The Band has chosen to limit its concert appearances in order to better prepare the concert music. It did, however, include such concerts as Select Band Day, a Lenten service at Lake Nokomis Lutheran Church, and a chapel service on campus. The Band also performed in Lamberton, Minnesota prior to the Bon Voyage Concert in May 1978. Rehearsing, sectionals, and hard individual practice were not the only things keeping Band members busy. The heavy financial burden on each member to pay for such a trip was realized. Plans were made and carried out to participate in some fund-raising events. First, there was an all-out effort to provide everyone on the Augsburg campus with a box of fruit during the Big Band Fruit Sale. Another fund- raiser was a bake sale. Band members baked goodies (or talked their mothers into baking them!) which were sold in the College Center. The Band made students happy with good desserts and the sale did prove to be somewhat profitable. The last fund-raiser was Casino Night. The intentions were to provide the Augsburg Community with a little taste of Las Vegas. Donations were sought from area businesses to furnish auction items. These were bet on and purchased with band bucks won at the tables. The evening proved to be a very exciting and eventful one, not only for the gamblers but also for those Band members directly involved with game operations. Everyone had a super time! Although only a meager profit was made, the Casino Night in all of its preparation strengthened the social ties among Band members. All of the fund-raising, rehearsing, and social functions have brought the 57 instrumentalists personally as well as musically closer as a group. This will prove to be a valuable asset as the group embarks on their opportune tour. One highlight for the Augsburg Concert Band is the invitation to perform in the Bergen Musical Festival, an event of international fame. For some of the Band members, this tour is a grand finale to their years spent at Augsburg. Others may wonder how such a beginning could be surpassed. Hopefully, this inter- continental experience will influence other endeavors of this kind at Augsburg. This voyage will most certainly make a lasting and memorable impression on Augsburg’s 1977-78 Concert Band. It will be an unforgettable experience for the comrades who have worked hard toward this tour. They will be giving their all so that all who listen may also enjoy the '’reat pleasures of music.

Gwen Frostic It was an exciting year for the Augsburg Orchestra. With the acquisition of new director. C. William Douglass, the orchestra began a year filled with new experiences and challenging opportunities. In addition to three concerts given at the College Center, the orchestra performed on WCCO's “Midday program, hosted the Augsburg String Invitational, and provided music for a reception given by the Guthrie Theater in honor of its patrons. The orchestra program was further enriched through a series of workshops with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. Mr. Douglass called the SPCO residency project “one of the most exciting instructional programs I’ve seen. Augsburg was very fortunate in being one of the few schools in the country where orchestra members were able to work so closely with such a professional organization.

Music is a community thing. It's made for sharing. True, there are times when you have to compose a song of yourself, by yourself, but there's a tremendous flood of joy and closeness when you become a part of a community whose song is one. Dr. Leland B. Sateren has directed the Augsburg Choir for 28 years and as the years go by. the choir increases in richness and in beauty. One has to have great respect for a person who can take 66 single, fragile, and sometimes not so beautiful voices and blend them together into a single musical entity. There’s something kind of awesome in that. In four years with the choir I’ve been seasick outside of Molde, Norway, begun a five day nosebleed during a concert in Milwaukee, flown on T.I.A. (Terribly Incompetant Airline), spent around a thousand hours in rehearsals, ridden more miles by bus than I want to think about, and finally been stranded in a YMCA in Chesterton. Indiana while the largest blizzard in U.S. history raged around us. How could I help but have a good time? It was all done in a major key. Only a short 44 years ago the Augsburg Choir was founded. Since then it has grown and developed a standing reputation among choral circles the world over. There have been high years and low years. European tours, and trips across the city. This will long be remembered as a high year. The memories the 66 members will cherish will live as long as Chesterton. Indiana exists. The major event of the year was. of course. January tour. The choir set off to spend ten days filling the eastern United States with music. However, the weatherman had other ideas and choir unity, friendships, and psychosis was landed in a YMCA somewhere east of Chicago. This was not your typical Y” choir members soon found out. as they tried to chip the ice off the pool and as disputes broke out over the lone ping-pong table. Luckily, ingenuity prevailed and the four snow- bound days and three chilly nights were filled with laughter and patience. National news (NBC) dropped” in by helicopter to ease the boredom of a lazy Friday afternoon. It made them very appreciative of hot showers and warm, single sleeping arrangements. They also learned powerful lessons in surviving under stress. Coordinator Cynthy Mandl deserves many thanks for her rescue efforts. Because of Mandl's quick thinking, what could have resulted in disaster only became an inconvenient halt in tour plans. The tour got underway once more, on through Pennsylvania to New York City and the Empire Hotel (Piew?). Later on in the year, the choir participated in a Canadian American program, graduation, and other spot concerts. But the concert to go down in history was the one in the Chesterton United Methodist Church basement. 73 John Popham AUGSBURG CHORALE Row 1: J. Dahle. D. Leung. J. Quigley. L. Anderson. J.

The Augsburg Chorale, under the direction of Robert Engelson. had a good year giving concerts here at Augsburg and at a Twin Cities area church. One highlight of the year was when the group caroled at the Guthrie Theater before the performance of A Christmas Carol. The Chorale wound up the year with the Celebrate Concert at Si Melby Hall where it performed works by Bach, Alsven, Nystedt. and others. 74 CABARET SINGERS The Cabaret Singers, a student organized, student run group have existed on the Augsburg campus for ten years. Annual Christmas and Spring shows highlight the group's work on campus. The group is recognized by the community as well. Each year, support for the group comes from its engagements in the Twin Cities area. Minnesota communities, and occasionally neighboring states. Row 1. left to right: K. Sateren. M. Sparby, J.

Augsburg Jazz Ensemble I. under the direction of Dr. James Carlson, had a varied and busy concert schedule. In addition to the fall and spring concerts at Augsburg, the band also performed at the Walker Art Center and in Perham and Litchfield. Minnesota. The highlight of the year was the fourth annual Augsburg Jazz Festival, held on March 31 and April 12. Guest artists Randy Purcell, trombone, and Eddy Daniels, woodwinds, besides acting as clinicians, performed with the Jazz Ensemble in the two evening concerts. 75 THE GROWTH OF THE NEW MUSIC BUILDING It is a very funny thing about life: if you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it. W. Somerset Maugham It looks as thought that is what the music department is getting in this new building. Above: The pillars for the foundation go up. Right: The dorms of the college loom in the background as the building begins to take shape. If this house were still standing, it would waste an awful lot of practice space. 76 I regret that before people can be reformed they have to be sinners. And that before you have pianists in the family you have to have beginners. Ogden Nash Abve: No need to worry about Augsburg students. Ogden, the new music building they’re getting has plenty of practice rooms. Right: Even during the winter the Lovering Construction Company is hard at work. Below: Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a building! The music community of Augsburg would also like to thank the members .of the music faculty who put a great deal of time and effort into giving benefit recitals. All of the proceeds from these are going into the renewal fund for the new building. 77 Above: The busy orchestra keeps on truckin'. Above left: Associate conductor William McGlaughlin gives 8ecky Lundeen some conducting tips in a side-by-side rehearsal with the Augsburg Orchestra. Augsburg College, along with four other colleges in the Twin Cities area has been involved in a residency program with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. This past year the orchestra was in residency here at Augsburg. Members and guests of the orchestra took part in lecture performances, side-by-side rehearsals with our Augsburg Orchestra, and master classes on various instruments. This gave students and anyone else who was interested an excellent chance to improve skills and enrich music appreciation as presented by guest composers, conductors, and instrumentalists.

SPORTS FOOTBALL A routine practice of the Auggie war dance? 1977 will be a year remembered as the year the Auggies turned the corner towards an outstanding football program. 1977 saw the Auggies face a murderous early season schedule then rebound to play excellent football and finish well up in the standing. After dropping its first five games (two to Ncaa playoff teams), they came back to win three straight games, including a 7-3 win over nationally ranked Concordia. Then lost an exciting Homecoming battle to Gustavus. It was a great turn around and everyone can be extremely proud of the 1977 Fighting Auggie football team.

The Augsburg Women’s Volleyball Team started the season with very intense practice conducted by head coach Mary Timm and assistant coach Cindy Schendel. The majority of the team consisted of freshman with only four of the players returning from the previous year. The women won twenty- three of their thirty-seven matches. The team played in weekend tournaments that included trips to the Macalaster Invitational, the University of Minnesota Invitational and an out-of- state trip to Southern Iowa. Wins over St. Cloud State. Gustavous and Concordia Moorehead plus placing third in the State Women’s Volleyball Tournament were high points in the season. With such a young team, the upcoming years on the volleyball court look promising for the Auggie women, with hopes of a trip to the National Tournament. Mary Timm Head Coach Front Row: L to R: K.

On the hand Through the hand “From the hand BASKETBALL Joe Soucheray The Augsburg College basketball team made a citizen's arrest of Itself last week for a rule violation that caused the forfeit of 17 games and the loss of a player to ineligi- bility. This was shocking. This was such a shockingly good and honest deed that you almost don’t know how to react. It seems that during a routine ex- amination of the team’s eligibility lists, the school’s registrar. Bev Wegge, discovered that junior transfer student Dave Boots had not completed 24 credits in his final two terms at Rochester Com- munity College last year. A Na- tional Association for Intercolle- giate Athletics (NAIA) rule re- quires that a transfer student com- plete at least that number of cred- its in the final two terms prior to transfer. That rule is on page 33 of a handbook the size of the Helena, Mont., telephone directory. Such a rule apparently makes it more difficult for a four-year insti- titutlon to keep a star athlete aca- demically eligible by occasionally dispatching him to a two-year col- lege for a quick 10 credits or so. That was obviously not at issue in the Boots affair.Boots, 22. started his last term at Rochester needing just six credits to equal the re- quired 93 for graduation. He was not aware of the 24-credit transfer rule and neither was his Rochester coach and adviser. Jack Gove. Boots chose the easiest, if not the cheapest and most logical course for a kid paying his way through school. He only took the six credits he needed, received his associated arts degree with a respectable 2.7 ?;rade average and packed his bags or Augsburg and a fresh start. Augsburg Coach Erv Inniger had no more reason to doubt that Boots was not in compliance with NAIa rules than Boots himself. Miss Wegge was aware of the rule. She also was aware of the consequences after revealing he- fndings. but she never doubted what she would do. She told In- niger. Inniger might as well have been struck by a fist. His team was leading the MiAC at 7-1 and had an over-all record of 11-6. The Auggies were easily within reach of a fourth consecutive MIAC championship, which would have been an Augsburg record. And In- niger needed only 19 victories this year to reach 100 wins in his five years at the school. Boots, who could redefine forever the defini- tion of a nice kid. was a starting guard and floor leader. He aver- aged 12 points a game. Inniger was aware of the conse- quences, but he never doubted what he would do. He told his athletic director. Ernie Anderson. They looked at each other across a desk for a few seconds and then Anderson picked up the telephone. He called the NAIA district chair- man at Gustavus College. Milton Brostrom. Brostroin called the NAIA office in Kansas City and in one swift rearrangement of the records, Augsburg College was forced to forfeit the 17 games Boots appeared In and Boots was declared Ineligible for the remain- der of the season. But Erv Inniger didn't panic. Augs- burg didn’t scream foul. The school didn’t hand the matter to an ln-house committee for investiga- tion. They didn’t plead ignorance of a thick and complicated rule book as a defense as so many Institutions do when faced with similar dilemmas. They didn’t scramble around town trying to hire big lawyers to get them an injunction. And they could have. Augsburg could have done any- thing it wanted to, but it hauled the matter to the sheriff. •‘It wasn’t easy, believe me it wasn’t easy, Inniger said. If a registrar wanted to act alone or we wanted to ignore that problem, we could have. I’m sure it’s a minor thing compared to what's going on around the country at other colleges. So am I. Erv Inniger is too good a man to bring that up himself. I Introduced myself as a cynic on the matter and asked him how easy it would have been to put the affair under the doormat. You fig- ure it out. Boots had 14 credits in his second-to-last term at Roches- ter. In his last, he had six. A 2- year-old with a pencil could have put a one In front of that six. I believe that happens every day in colleges where higher education is equated with the national rankings and by people much older than 2. But if you want to feel good about something, go over to Augsburg and try to find a harsh word about this. You can’t buy one.[Bobts ab- solved Gove THis teamm tes. in- cluding three seniors who will never get another shot at four straight titles, absolved Boots. In- niger feels the kind of strength and good you experience when you have done something that is light. We have to live with ourselves,” Front Row: L to R: Doug Nelson.

My kids are nere for an education and we’re here to do what we can to help them. We took part of his life away from Boots and he said, ‘Don’t worry, it's nobody's fault.’ You don’t think I appreciate what I've got here?” Why don’t you appeal? the cynic said. Fight, appeal,” Inniger said, the rule is there in black and white and, as innocent as I know we are of any serious wrongdoing, we broke a rule. The basketball pro- gram can’t afford to jeopardize wrestling, hockey, the other sports. They work hard for their shot and we can’t jeopardize that. I would like to see the rule changed. I’ll write a letter about that. The National Collegiate Athletic Asco- clation is different. In NCAA-gov- erned schools, the associated arts degree is what’s required for eligi- bility in transfer students. But no appeals and no fights. We broke a rule.” The article compliments of Minneapolis Tribune. right: All smiles from Head Coach Erv Inniger. lower right: A determined offense gets yet another basket. below: G.

He dropped out of practice for a minute the other day and looked out on the court to his teammates, to his friends. “They all had a right to be bitter. he said, the coach had a right to be bitter. But they wer- en t. We were all victims of cir- cumstance. I came to this school because of the great reputation it has. I can swear by that. I’ll play my senior year here, no question about that.” Somebody should build a shrine to these people with the word fair- ness etched In granite. I could in- vest in a fairness fund like that. 87 WRESTLERS WIN FOURTH M.I.A.C. TITLE Augsburg College won its fourth consecutive MIAC wrestling crown at Concordia, running away with over half the individual titles and making the rest of the teams look like they had no right to compete in the same meet. All ten of the Augsburg wrestlers made it to the semi-finals. Four of these failed to enter the finals but two wrestled back for third place. Each of the six finalists, walked away as conference champions. Even before the meet began one objective seemed clear: Dethrone Augsburg. During weigh-ins. strategies were being formed to make sure the Auggies had a tough time in each division. The seating structure was designed in such a manner that any Augsburg grappler who wasn’t rated number one in the conference would have to wrestle every challenger before facing the number one man. Fortunately, none of these anti- Augsburg plans worked well enough to prevent another championship. The 1978 M.I.A.C. individual titlists from Augsburg. Top Row: L to R: C. Wenzel. J. Swenson, T.

ICEMEN WIN AUGGIES FIRST NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!! Few are able to experience the personal gratification, the feeling of accomplishment, the sheer joy that gets you so high that you wish it all would never end. This year, the coaches and players experienced just that! What could be better than being able to walk down the street and know that you are the very best? This team met every challenge placed before it and the record speaks for itself: Northland Thanksgiving Tournament Champion Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Champion NAIA National Hockey Champion Statements by sports writers and coaches that the national championship game was the best college hockey game that they had ever seen, were just a tribute. It was a super team, more than any other I have had-A TEAM. Every man on the roster had an important role to play and made an important contribution towards our success. The team achieved the pinnacle of success. They went as far as any team can go. Their achievements are now a benchmark of total success for all future teams. In the years to come there will be many children and grandchildren who will hear about the accomplishments of the 1978 Augsburg Hockey Team and how they became the NAIA National Champions. The Icemen's trophies adorn our eyes. Oscar Anderson presents the NAIA trophy to Ed Saugestad. G. Hughes, and J. Peterson. I would like to think that we are starting a success story, not ending one.

The Auggie Women's Basketball team of 1978 consisted of the maturity of the returning players from last year. Added to that was the experience of transfer students. Rounding out the team was a group of very energetic and determined freshman. The Auggies finished the year with a 10-10 record, displaying an inconsistent but explosive offense which averaged 70 points per game, while shooting 40 percent from the floor. The team's biggest weakness seemed to be defense and consistent rebounding as the opponent averaged 64 points per game. The team did accomplish many of the goals which they had set at the beginning of the season. Although they fell short of qualifying for the State Tournament, they did put on a big offensive showing at districts in Winona. At the Southwest State Meet. 90-70. the Auggies were part of a tournament record for most points scored in one game and most points scored by a losing team! Staff apologies are extended to these Auggie Women for not having pictures available. 9« GYMNASTICS above: B. Lamon twists to the beat. below: L. Sommers swings up and around the bar. above: R. Twete leaps, below: Coach Pam Paulson. Individual improvement and accomplishment best describes the season for the Women's gymnastic team. With each meet the team looked better- routines became polished and new skills were added. By the last regular season meet at Stout, the team performed well enough to achieve their season’s best score. The quality of women's gymanstics improves each year in Minnesota, as was evident in Winona at the MAIAW State Meet. All of the teams looked good and deserve to be complimented. Women gymnasts really are a tribute to the female athlete. Pam Paulson Coach A blissful line up (L to R): K. Stanger. C. Lamon. L. Sommers. B. Lamon. S. Strickland. R. Twete. L. Boker. P. Aslakson.

Only two girls will be departing this year, so with a young and experienced team next year we only have to prove ourself. Head Coach Mary Timm Words of wisdom from assistant coach Bill Carlson. WOMEN’S TRACK Overall the team performed well and showed very good improvement over last year. This is only our second year in track, but I feel that we finished well in all our meets. All year we competed against teams that have been participating in track much longer than us but we were able to beat teams at every meet. Head Coach Charles Gerster above: A high jump record by S.

Will Rogers 135 Recently I was reading a promotional brochure from one of the other ALC colleges. The pamphlet ended with a motto that might be somewhat telling about college life today. It read. ‘‘Work hard. Play hard. Live ... and learn.” While I seem to have heard that axiom somewhere before, it reminded me that college is a hard place. As I have watched Augsburg students this year. I’ve come to believe that they must think so too. All around me I have noticed people working hard, playing hard, and trying hard to find a place for themselves both here in college and in the ambiguous world that lies beyond graduation. By the end of the year, I get a little tired of all the intensity, and perhaps the same thing happens to you. But all that doesn’t make this year particularly unique. College was hard last year too. and it probably will be again next year. However, we might learn more about college life today if we compare it with that of ten years ago rather than the years immediately surrounding us. College life and college students were somewhat different in the mid 60's, and we might want to think about the difference for a moment. If I may be permitted a rather strained analogy from the circus world (I have heard college students make that comparison). I would see the college students of today as the jugglers, whose focus of attention is fixed on keeping track of events that are happening close to them in rapid motion. On the other hand. I would view the college student of the mid 60’s as the aerialists. taking rather large risks high above the crowd, able to release a great deal of energy and to view the events below from an overall perspective. To come to my point. I have seen Augsburg students this year as working hard, trying to skillfully juggle things like studies, a part-time job. a high GPA, etc., and then needing to play hard to release some of the stress. All this makes me a little sad, because while we might be intensely trying to create and maintain our peace in the world, we might lose track of the kind of a world it is. The bottom line in all this is that I think we all need to give ourselves some time and space to raise our vision from the closed sphere around us. to integrate what we’ve learned and get a total view of the world and its problems and possibilities. We might like being aerialists for awhile! by Rick Thoni Brent Amundson Psychology Grygla, MN Bradley D. Anderson Physical Education Hector, MN Bradley P. Anderson Music. Mathematics Burnsville.

SENIOR COMMENTS: Augsburg can be a great place, if we only can retain our perspective on life. In other words, don’t let studying get in the way of a good time. Beam me up. Scottie! He who shall so shall he who. Oh. good one! I’ve been at this business far too long. Is there life after college? Yes. I do have a major, but no. I don’t have a job. 164 Left: Steve Hoffmeyer presented the It's About Time Award to be placed in the new Music Building, from the last class who didn't get to use it.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINTH COMMENCEMENT Besides being the last class that didn't get to use the new Music Building, the 1978 Graduating Class was the largest in Augsburg’s history (365 participating in Commencement). Also, another first, the Second Step Nursing Program graduates were among those in the Commencement program. Augsburg College was a great educational experience for me. as well as a place where I met some neat people. The faculty should especially be commended for their loyalty to Augsburg. Goodbye Augsburg, and thanks for a great four years. Left: Cindy Them and Dr. Palosaari. Below Left: Steve Hoffmeyer at Commencement. Below: Jon Moren gets his diploma.
