Tearing down the walls! Central Services staff seeks larger office area by Beth Onnen staff writer The Central Services building, which has been a part of Augustana's campus since 1918, will be demolished within a year. Suzanne Hunstad, the Director of Information Services and Central Services, said that Central Services was definitely moving somewhere, but that its location had not yet been determined. The building, which is over 70 years old, has "done the job so far," as Hunstad said, but the Central Services staff would appreciate additional space and a more open work area. In past years, the building, which is also known as the "Cottage," has been a dormitory for women, the Mirror office, and a mock schoolhouse for student teacherS. Along with Central Services, other options have been explored this past summer for the gymnasium, which will be vacated in December when the Elmen Center is expected to be completed. At that time, athletic activities and staff will be moving to their new locations. A task force has been examining various activites on campus to decide what shall later be housed in the gym. Some of the Renovation for the gymnasium will be expensive, Hunstad said, but she added that there are definite plans for moving the Central Services staff in the near future. "The task force is committed to moving us," said Hunstad. Jim Bies, the Director of Student Services and a member of the "Old Gym" task force, said that the committee has not reached any decision because it would like to wait to make a permanent decision as to what would be the best use of the old gymnasium. Bies also said that the gym will definitely need an elevator and other remodeling, regardless of what activity will be moved in. The task force will be taking more time to examine the options. Dr. Arthur Huseboe, another member of the task force and chairman of the Humanities Department, agreed that there are many options on campus that could be housed in the gym. Bies and Huseboe also said that a long-range building plan is in progress, looking at a new Social Science building which would replace the aging barracks. The Central Services building was in good shape when this photo was taken in October 1969. At that time it was called "Ye Olde Cottage." File photo. The Central Services building is currently in a state of disrepair. Working conditions are crowded and personnel have asked that their office be given more space. Photo by Dawn R.

Development office records keep tabs on Augie alumni by Kristen Hasche staff writer Students who worry about some agency keeping track of every aspect of their lives may not have to look any further than their campus. Neither Big Brother nor big government may give as much cause for concern as Augustana's Development office, located on the third floor of the Admissions building. Development keeps track of alumni's addresses, phone numbers, marriages, divorces, remarriages, deaths, and children's births and baptisms. In the case of a birth, the office sends a congratulatory card with an accompanying bib. The office is also responsible for news releases in the areas of music, sports, honors, band, drama and other campus events. This information is sent to the hometowns of the participating students. Development prints Augustana Today, a newspaper sent out quarterly, to alumni and friends and supporters of Augustana to keep them informed of information regarding the college. The office makes 600 to 800 address changes before each issue. Tracers, or postcards, requesting information are sent to relatives of "lost" alumni. Sometimes relatives send unsolicited information to the college. Development received one letter which said, "I would like to ask you to do something for me. Would you please take [Jane Doe] off your mailing list? She passed away on Thursday. She was sick for a long time. You will never hear from her again." Another letter said, "[Jane Doe] died in May. I've written to Augustana Alumns about this before. Neither you nor Reader's Digest have accepted her death yet." Marlee Grebin, who has worked in Development for ten years, said, "The job is very interesting because it's so varied. There's a variety of work going on every day. The work study students are great fun to work with. The traffic through here is busy and sometimes hectic." When asked if it is all worth it, she said, "Sure is."
