Plans create ugie chapel All through its 120 year history, Au- gustana College has been without a chapel. Over the years, many people have donated money into a chapel fund. Plans for a chapel began taking shape in 1978 after enough money had been raised to begin construction. Several locations on campus were con- sidered before it was decided to build the chapel at the heart of the campus. One proposal was to have a partially under- ground chapel where the Moses statue is located. Another plan was to connect the Commons and Humanities with a chap- el. Presently, a pipe organ is being built and is expected to be completed by mid- 1983. The !B150,000 organ was made pos- sible by an anonymous donation of 8i125,000 and is being built by a former Augustana student. Other future plans for the chapel include transferring the paintings from the gym to the chapel, new altar furnishings, Christian sym- bols in the brick on the outside of the chapel, landscaping and a detached bell tower. By the time the new organ is complet- ed, costs for the chapel will have exceed- ed one million dollars. This cost includes over S850,000 for the building and 514,500 for interior furnishings. The ma- jority of this money was obtained through donations, the biggest of which was an anonymous 5B100,000 challenge gift. The district offices of the American Lutheran Church are also located in the building. These offices were built through a separate fund drive. There is an uncompleted room above the district offices that will eventually be made into a furnished meeting room to be used by the ALC and Augustana.
