Mrs. Elissa Whitwam of Sioux Falls was one of Augustana's summer Master of Arts in Teaching graduates who enjoyed an informal reception in the Humanities Concourse following the ceremonies. Westby Assumes State Cabinet Position Associate Dean of Students A. Richard Petersen counsels with freshman-to-be Pat Thurmer of Jackson, Minn., during a summer new student registration session. Over 600 freshmen and transfer students were expected to begin classes at Augustana this fall. Most paid early visits to the campus to sign up for classes before the fall rush. Fourteen Degrees Awarded Augie Officially Opens 113th Fall Semester Evenson Accepts Fund Raising Post Robert Evenson, who for the past 13 years has been associated with Wal-dorf College of Forest City, Iowa, has accepted an appointment as as-sociate vice president for development at Augustana. He began his new duties here on September 3. In his position at Augustana, the Rev. Mr. Evenson will direct the college's fund-raising efforts as a part of the school's Development Division under the over-all direction of Dr. Tom Kilian, vice president for development. The new Augustana staffer attended public schools at Wolverton, Minn., attended Lutheran Bible Institute and earned an A.A. degree from Waldorf. His education includes study at Con-cordia College in Moorhead, Minn., the completion of a B.A. degree at Augsburg College in Minneapolis and a C.Th. degree at Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul. He served for a time as a parish pastor before joining the staff at Wal-dorf as assistant director of admissions in 1960. He later was promoted to the admissions directorship and ultimately to the position of director of develop-ment and public relations, the job he resigned to accept the assignment here. His wife is the former Lillian Swan-son whose mother, Mrs. Anna Swanson, resides in Genoa, Neb. The couple are the parents of four children— Jon, 20; Kirk, 18; Margit, 15 and Eric, 14. Dr. Orval Westby, chairman of Aug-ustana's Department of Sociology and Social Work, has been granted a leave of absence from the college in order that he might accept the appointment of Gov. Richard Kneip to head up the new South Dakota Department of Social Services and Human Relations. The department, regarded as similar in nature to a cabinet post, is one of 16 main divisions which emerged from the governor's executive reorgan-ization plan which condensed 160 state agencies into fewer, but more corn-prehensive units. Westby has been a member of the Augustana faculty since 1947. He holds a bachelor's degree from Northern State College, a B.Th. degree from Luther Theological Sem-inary and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota. Augustana will officially signal the start of its 113th fall term by the tradi-tional tolling of the Old Main bell fol-lowing opening convocation cere-monies, Monday, September 10. Classes will begin the next morning. A student body of approximately 2.000, the same as a year ago, is an-the degrees. Dr. Jorgen Thompson presented the candidates and the grad-uate hoods were placed by Dr. Lucy Fryxell of the English department and Dr. Endre Gastony of the history department. Music for the occasion was provided by the Augustana Brass Quintet under the direction of Dr. Harold Krueger. A reception for the graduates, their families and friends, was held in the Humanities Concourse immediately following the ceremonies. The Augus-tana MAT Alumni Association ar-ranged a "Dutch treat" noon luncheon in the Ordal Dining Room of the Mor-rison Commons. Receiving master's degrees in ele-mentary education were Robert R. Geigle, Herreid; Allen A. Hofer, Nellie L. King and Thomas L. Vanden Bosch, Sioux Falls and Mrs. Beverly J. Spink, Harlingen, Tex. MAT degrees in spec-ial education went to Olivia A. Bentley, Burlington, Iowa; Myron M. Fuerst, Mrs. Judith Kane, Owen L. Saunders and Mrs. Elissa G. Whitwam, all of Sioux Falls. MAT degree recipients with majors in other areas were Miss Betty Creigh-ton and Mrs. Germaine G. Wessman, both of Sioux Falls, in English; Ken-neth E. Morken, Tacoma, Wash., in secondary education and Bruce Spars, Sioux Falls, in history. Augustana To Seek $9 Million Over Next Five Years Efforts to achieve Augustana's new Five-Year Plan have begun, effective last July 1, according to Dr. Tom Kil-ian, Vice President for Development. The plan seeks to raise $9,175,000, mainly for the support of academic programs and teaching, by 1978. Augustana will seek support from the Sioux Falls community, alumni and other college-related individuals, foundations, government and other sources, Kilian said. The plan was developed after a year of study by the Faculty Planning Coun-cil, who established the priorities and components of the plan, he concluded. ticipated and will include about 600 new students. Most of the newcomers have paid summer visits to the campus for counseling sessions with the assoc-iate deans of students, registration for their fall classes, and a tour of the campus. Most of the students' par-ents accompanied their children to get an advance look at the place where their sons and daughters may spend the next four years. In anticipation of still many unans-wered questions an orientation pro-gram for freshmen and transfer stu-dents was to begin Thursday, Septem-ber 6. Dorms were opened at noon and an orientation program for the parents was set for 3:00 p.m., followed by the traditional students-parents picnic outside the Morrison Commons. A part of the scheme behind the orientation program is to keep the new students so busy they don't have time to get homesick— if they should have a tendency in that direction. They will be kept in the usual whirl of activities including a slide show describing their new school, and an ice cream social with the faculty serving and a Dixie-land band playing. The next day the schedule called for a visit to the business office to clean up those troublesome financial details, taking some tests and meeting with the deans. Sessions to describe "Opportunities for Involvement" at Augustana, a question and answer per-iod and a dance in the Commons will wind up the second day on campus. Saturday, September 8 the corn-mittee had a tour of Sioux Falls planned, plus a concert-on-the-green featuring Jericho / Harp, an afternoon pep fest and the kick-off of the Viking football season at 7:30 against Con-cordia. New students are invited to various faculty homes for treats and more getting acquainted after the game. Sunday will mark the re-opening for the fall term of the Augustana Student Congregation worship services. That evening the orientation banquet is planned in the Ordal Dining Room of the Commons. Transfer students have a noon picnic planned for them on Monday, and that night the bell will toll, and hopefully, all students will be present or ac-counted for. Students will be met on September 11 by a total of 15 new faculty faces. Joining the teaching ranks will be Marie Czmowski in nursing, Kent P. Gerlach, special education; Brent M. Haglund, biology; Mrs. Margaret Heg-ge, nursing, Mrs. Maureen Kind, French ; Mrs. Christiane T. Martens, art; Dr. Harold Wheeler, special education; James I. Stepleton, music; Paul Kendle, physical education; John Sorenson, Richard E. Barnes and James Pentico, sociology; Mrs. Ruth Dunmire, business education; Dr. Lor-en A. Berge, chemistry and Dr. W. Norman Haupt as Director of the Sioux Falls Continuing Education Cen-ter. Classes will continue uninterrupted, except for a short breather during the 50th anniversary Viking Days week-end, until the Thanksgiving break November 22-25. The fall semester ends December 18 under Augustana's 4-1-4 school calendar. January 3 is the starting date for the Augustana Interim featuring 95 four week courses of all disciplines and including 17 overseas or foreign study tours. The second regular term begins February 4 and is punctuated by spring vacation March 18-22 and Easter vacation April 12-15.
