the augustana college • m i rror sioux falls, south dakota Thursday, November 4, 1965 Sioux Falls, South Dakota 57102 Vol. 47, No. 7 Ron Hofstad checks the characteristics of a vacuum tube's operations. Curriculum offers engineering degrees By Bob Henry Kathy Svarstad and John Kline admire their speech trophy. The schoolyear of 1965 marks the first time Augus-tana has offered an engineer-ing program. Through this program degrees of • bachelor of s c i e n c e in engineering physics, bachelor of arts in engineering physics, and bachelor of arts in engi-neering management are made possible. The engineering physics programs are set up to pro-vide the student with know-ledge of the new develop-ments and methods of the modern engineering field. It is also designed to give the student basic back-grounds for study toward advanced degrees in physics or one of the engineering sciences such as electrical, electronic, mechanical, aeronautical, nuclear, or astronautical engineering. The Augustana program of engineering management is devised for those students who have an interest in business administration as well as engineering. With this degree, a graduate may go directly into industry or pursue an advanced degree in either business or engi-neering. The Augustana Admis-sions department pamphlet on "Physics and Pre- Augustana's Kavaliers—one of the groups who will per-form Friday night. engineering" states three options for the student interested in a cooperative engineering program. THE FIRST option: A student obtains a four-year degree in mathematics, physics or chemistry at Augustana. Then after gradu-ation, he studies at an engineering school for two years and obtains a Master of Science degree. This option is desirable for it allows the under-graduate to finish his liberal arts course work before obtaining professicnal en-gineering training. Option two states that a student complete three years and a .summer session at Augustana and then transfer to an engineering school for two years. This combination provides the engineering student with a bachelor of arts degree in (continued on Page 3) Musical groups sponsor concert Carrying out the theme of "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow", three musical groups from Augustaria will sponsor a benefit concert for the Civic Fine Arts Center, Friday, November 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the gym. The Yesterday portion of the concert will be presented by Kristy and the Minstrels in the form of folk music. On the Today scene will be the Kavaliers providing big band and pop sounds. Rounding off the sound of the times will be the New-port Jazz Quartet with the progressive jazz sounds characterizing their group. All three groups per-formed in Viking Varieties this year. Balcer to welcome Augustana parents Nearly 500 parents of present and former students at Augustana College are expected to attend the third annual Parents Day, Satur-day, Nov. 6. They will hear welcoming remarks from President Charles L. Balcer, a repre-sentative of the Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce, and Bob Manthe, secretary to the Augustana Parents As-sociation. Rev. Fred Dam-qaard, Wausau, Wisc. , presi-dent of the association, will preside. During the day the parents will hear concerts by the Augustana choir, the concert band and a special piano duet by Professors J. Earl Lee and Gerald Kemner. Prof. Arthur Olsen, of the college religion department, will deliver a lecture on "The Church and Civil Rights." Announcement of the re-turns for association officers elected by a mail vote will be made during a business session. Time has been allowed for parents to visit with their sons and daughters and to attend open houses in col-lege residence halls. The group will have op-portunity to attend the Augustana Little Theatre production of "There Shall Be No Night" that evening at 8:30. Svarstad, Kline win in speech In a speech tournament at the University of Omaha Saturday two Augustana stu-dents took honors. Don Kline, a freshman from Aberdeen, placed first in men's extemporary speak-ing; and Kathy Svarstad was one of five finalists in the original oratory division. Both contestants entered the finals on basis of straight first place wins in the pre-liminary rounds. Besides -Kline and Svar-stad four other students from Augustana attended the tour-nament. They were • Byron Stefferud, Dawn Schroeder, Joyce Estwick and Lois Benda. Augustana's debaters won four matches and lost four. Members of Augustana's forensic team will compete November 12 and 13, at the USD Invitational. Augustana will host the North Central Conference tournament Nov-ember 19 and 20. Tentative plans are being made to attend the Dixie Classic. December 9-11, at Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, N. Carolina. SINCE LINGUISTICS con-stitute curriculum, it is ev-ident that the administration considers it academically important. According to Dr. Blegen, a foreign language instructor at Augustana for some 38 years, students study language to increase their perspective—not to be short-sighted and unprepared to understand the other peoples of the world. Professor Blegen also contends that language and understanding are keys to peace. In addition to Professor Blegen's concept of ling-uistic importance in the realm of peace and under-standing, he feels that un-less one looks at his own language from the outside, he cannot understand it. A great student of language once said, "He who knows no foreign language knows nothing of his own." For Augustana students obtaining their bachelor or master of arts degree, the purpose of foreign language may lie in the fact that the courses are required. For the students to complete their education at grad school, a basic knowledge of French or German is required for entrance. Pre-seminary stu-dents must have at least a reading knowledge of Greek. Students seeking ling-uistic knowledge find it academically c h al - lenging. Alien languages, their grammar and morphol-ogical application, stimulate the growing mind. The col-legian involved in a program of language inadvertently makes a definite transition from his American idiom and culture to that of another lexico-logical descent. The general desire of the student, whether he be tak-ing New Testament Greek or modern Spanish, is that he is using language to quench his thirst for culture and world-wide understanding. THE LANGUAGE depart-ment at Augustana has under-gone many changes in order to keep up with the fashion of the day. Professor Blegen feels that it is evident that clas-sical Greek and Latin will again find their places in importance along with the modern languages, and that "we are making a crazy mis-take if we do not recognize the value of classical lang-uage." Our civilization and de-mocracy could be better un-derstood if we could trans-late the classical languages directly, because in them the true origin of our government and culture lies, according to Mr. Blegen. Prof. Ryman presents lawyer conference Professor Arthur Ryman, Jr., of the Drake University Law School will hold a con-ference- discussion period tomorrow, November 5 in the Canton room from 10:45 a.m. until noon. Students who are inter-ested and those who are already definitely committed to pre-law are urged to attend this conference and the one coming on Monday, November 8 in the Canton room from 8:00 a.m. until Chapel. Dean John P. Linn of the Denver University Law School will speak at this discussion. At the present time a 1964 graduate from Augustana, Lowell Noteboom, is in his second year at Denver University Law School. Foreign languages execute varied roles of importance By Dennis Ohrtman What role does foreign language play on campus? Students who enter French, Spanish, German, Norwegian and Greek classes every day ask this question. For each there is a dif-ferent answer to the question.
