'r
, Kodiak is to be visited by the
famed Augsburg Cbllege band
sometime between June 7 and
July 22, with the firmed date not
finalized as yet. The band will
perform here under the auspices
of the Kodiak Business and Pro
fessional Women's Club.
With a student enrollment of
1.000, the Minneapolis, .Minnesota
located college is fast becoming
Alaska conscious, as plans are for
mulating for a combined “goodwill
tour” of Alaska with the scheduled
tour of the band. Among Alaskan
notables appearing on the campus
are Sen. Ernest Gruening, who
spoke at a student lecture convo
cation, April 20, and George Ahgu
l»uk, Alaska’s top native artist,
wfto will demonstrate his specialty
r .
in skin painting as Weft ail exhibit
reproductions of Alaskan scenery
during the college’s Creative Arts
Week, May 1-6.
The 50 piece band will perform
in the Alaska Festival of Music,
June 19 to 23. It was when A. B.
Batalden, manager of music organ
izations at the college, went to
Anchorage last year to finalize
arrangements that he became en
thusiastic for Alaska. This led to
expanding the trip into a 30-con
cert itinerary over 8,000 miles of
Canadian and Alaskan territory.
Returning to the campus, Batal
den has been working months to
convince Minnesotans and resi
dents from neighboring states they
should form a caravan to travel
with the band. Augsburg’s student
