Pag* 2 THE CONCORDIAN March 1, 1963 — Dr. Raymond O. Farden, head of Concordia's soc-iology department, visits with Congressman Odin Langen of Minn-esota and discussed some of the issues facing the 88th Congress. Farden, representing the American Lutheran Church, was a dele-gate last week to the 1963 Churchmen's Washington Seminar. Dr. Bailey Gives Details Of Liberal Arts Confab Details of the Second Annual Liberal Arts Institute to be held on the campus this summer were announced this week on the heels of a $1,500 grant from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society for support of the program. The Institute, first of its kind in the Upper Midwest, will be held June 24-28 for those interested in liberal studies, but who may not have attended or finished college. Speaking to the C-400 Club, Dr. Kenneth Bailey, head of the philosphy department, said the program is planned to serve people who either do not have sufficient contact with the liberal studies or who desire additional study. The five areas and instructors are: modern mathematics. Dr. Sigurd Mundhjeld; political philosphy, Rodney Grubb; art, Cyrus Running; literature. Armour Nelson; and science. Dr. Carl Bailey. Discussing the grant, Dr. Bailey pointed out that "it assures the 1963 institute of a sound foundation upon which to build for future years." One of the lasting values of the Institute, Dr. Bailey concludes, will be to inspire participants to take part in subsequent reading, research and reflection. Dave Olson Recipient of Grant From Rockefeller Foundation by Sandy "On behalf of our Board of Directors, we are pleased to of-fer you a Rockefeller Brothers Theological Fellowship for the 1963-64 school year. Your rec-or d certainly warrants such recognition and we take pride in being able to award you this fellowship." W i t h these words David J. OLSON Olson was informed this week that he has received one of 42 awards given annually by the Fund for Theological Education sponsored by The Rockefeller Johnson Brothers' Theological Fellowship Program following a highly com-petitive nation-wide search. The program requires that a potential winner be a con-scientious student for the full school year and be seriously considering some form of par-ish ministry as a possible ca-reer. After being nominated by Dr. Paul Sponheim in behalf of Con-cordia College, Olson applied last November. The award cov-ers room, board, fees, tuition, and $500 for books and miscel-laneous. It stipulates that a re-cipient select any of 84 schools approved by the American As-sociation of Theological Schools Student Educators Complete Requirements in Area Schools Forty-three Concordia seniors are student teaching this semes-ter. They are participating in the program of the Concordia de-partment of education. Future teachers must meet the student teaching requirement not earlier than the senior year of college by full-time teaching, usually in nearby North Dakota and Minnesota schools. The re quirements were changed lasi year io meet the standards for accreditation by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Edu-cation, the only agency fulfill-ing this function in the coun-try today. According to Dr. Alton Rog-ess, head of the education de-p a r t m e n t , this accreditation means that students "can be cer-tified in any state," once all states accept the agency. Student teachers, their home addresses and the cities in which they are teaching are listed be-low. Minnesota residents include: Joyce Monson, Moorhead, at De-t r o i t Lakes; Roy Toivonen, Moorhead, at Wigdahl, Moorhead, at Moorhead; Marshal Ha a l a n d , Moorhead, at Moorhead, LeRoy Larson, Barnesville, at Dilworth.

The broadcasting facility, which has been described by Christian leaders as potentially the most signicant advance in missionary enterprise of this century, will be known as the "Radio Voice of the Gospel." In the figure of Gennet Awa-lom of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, a 1959 alumna, Concordia can claim to have had a part in this enterprise. A member of Alpha Zetes and a home economics major, Gen-net attended LBI in Seattle and Boston University for communi-cations training after graduation. "Radio Voice" officials in Ad-dis heard of her training and have hired her to write both ed-ucational and religious scripts. There is a possibility that she might have a ladies' program of her own in the near future. According to her sister Han-nah, a Cobber junior, "She is just thrilled to be working there." Operating with two 100,000 watt short - wave transmitters, the station will be one of the most powerful such facilities ever to be used for religious Summer Weight HAGGAR SNUG DUDS $6.95 and $9.95 119 Broadway—FARGO broadcasting. Its strategic cen-tral location and high altitude will enable its signal to be heard in all of Africa, the Middle East and through most of the popu-lous countries of southern Asia, its engineers say. Expansive arrangements have been made to meet the problems of language differences. Record-ing studios for the making of taped programs will function in several of the countries. Tapes made in each of the language areas will be shipped to Addis Ababa and broacast toward their point of origin. Thus the primi-tive villagers of Africa and Asia will hear via radio waves pro-grams which originate in their own lands. The project, which has been in process of develop-ment for nearly five years, has produced an unusual de-gree of international and in-terdominaiional cooperation. Applications to the Ethiopian government were made original-ly by both the Lutheran World Federation and the Near East C h r i s t i a n Council. Emperor Haile Selassi took a personal part in the dedication ceremon-ies. The Ethiopian government has g i v e n full cooperation throughout the planning and construction period. Lutheran church leaders from many countries, including Dr. Franklin Clark Fry, New York, president of the LWF, and Dr. Fredrik Schiotz, Minneapolis, president of the American Lu-theran Church, went to Addis Ababa for the dedication.
