AUGIE E-NEWS
October 25, 2000 Volume 1, Number 4 ************************** Augie E-News is a bi-monthly (or as needed) newsletter sent to alumni of Augustana College informing them of the latest news from campus. ************************** ***Viking Days 2000 - Thanks for Coming Home!: October 6-8 was quite the weekend for Augustana. It began with the inauguration of Dr. Bruce Halverson '66 as Augustana's 22nd President. Cold weather didn't keep alumni away from the parade. And the football game against NDSU was a good fight. We inducted the Class of 1950 into the Honor Guard at the Heritage Honor Luncheon and honored outstanding individuals at the Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet on Friday night and at the Alumni Banquet on Saturday night. Viking Varieties was a hit in the Sioux Falls Arena and the crowd was great at the Afterglow, complete with music by President Halverson and the Fabulous Jadesmen and Doc Krueger and the Alumni Brass Choir.

Plan now to attend Viking Days 2001, October 5-7.
