Thiele and Val Milligan staff writers Augustana's alcohol policy was questioned by some students recently after it was printed in the Argus Leader February 15 that Augie owns the land that formerly housed the Sahara Club. Lowell Larson, Controller, said the property was given to Augie two years ago as part of the Elmen gift. "We don't relish owning that building at all," said Larson. He said the building has been up for sale for some time. "If we get a building, we sell it just as fast as we can," he said. David Rokke, Vice President of Finance and Development, said the tenants were already on the property when Augie received it. He said, "If we had a choice, they would probably be cut. But it was under lease, so what could we do?" Rokke would not comment further, saying he felt it would be passing judgment on the actions of Don Scott. Scott held Rokke's position at the time the gift was given to Augie. When Augie received the property, it was occupied by a teen bar called Flirts. The business closed last summer and reopened later as the Sahara Club. Larson said Augie allowed the new business to open because it was operated by the same owner. Larson said, "We are not in the real estate business." However, he said that Augie owns approx-imately five houses close to campus, one of which is the Day Care Center located directly south of Solberg Hall. He said Augie also owns more by Stephanie Hats staff writer Beginning this spring, the finishing touches of the Augustana Advantage will no longer be in the planning stages. The Capstone courses will be a reality. The Capstone courses are designed to round out the "Augustana Plan" for graduating students. The plan, which originated in 1986, begins with the New Student Seminar and introduces students to the purposes of an Augustana education. Throughout its course, the plan focuses on four areas of education: self, knowledge, skills and values, and attempts to tie the whole experience together in the form of a Capstone course. An eight member faculty taskforce has been working in conjunction with the Student Curriculum Committee to construct the Capstone courses. Each course is devised to draw its resources from an inter-disciplinary team of faculty and students. This approach allows students from different majors to apply and to broaden what they have learned in relationship to significant issues. The interdisciplinary technique He believes that vulnerability only encourages cooperative learning. Six courses have been planned and will be offered next year, including: Light in Dark-ness— Courage and Evil in the 20th Century; An Invitation to Care: Issues of Life, Health and Death, War and Peace in the Nuclear Age; Odysseys of the Spirit; Forced Options: Business, Technology, Values; as well as Toward a Global Community. Registration for the Capstone courses will take place on May 1. For flexibility and con-venience one class will be offered next fall, four during interim, and one in the spring. One course will also be offered during the 1989 summer college session. Prior to registration the Student Curriculum Committeeis planning hearings to answer questions regarding the courses or the registration procedures. These hearings are scheduled for April. Hopes are high for the future of Capstone, according to Olsen. Those involved in the planning believe it will be a positive experience for students. "It's the synthesis of a liberal arts education," said Amy Olson, Curriculum Committee member. "It will bring up issues and than one vacant lot in Sioux Falls and a bank in Hendricks, Minn. He said the college has run the bank for some time but that it is presently for sale. When asked for a list of properties Augustana owns, Rokke declined to provide one. The Sahara Club closed its doors in January after being charged with 11 counts of serving alcohol to minors and for having an underage bartender. Rokke said that since the Sahara Club is no longer in business, Augustana's ownership of the property is not an issue. "We didn't intentionally set out to lease property for tavern purposes ... in the future we will not seek tenants on Augustana property in the alcohol business," he said.
