News & Announcements
Miles to Manhattan...
Last Friday's student-organized "Miles to Manhattan" fundraising campaign
raised $5,605 for the American Red Cross. The goal was to raise $1,227.50
-- the number of miles it is from Gustavus to Manhattan. The money will
provide relief to victims and their families.
Step Forward... Educational
institutions throughout the nation are positioning faculty members as sources
in the wake of the Sept. 11 "Attack on America." Some Gustavus faculty
members have already graciously agreed to be sources for media interviews
or to write opinion pieces, but opportunities continue and may for some
time. All who would be willing to share their knowledge with the media
are invited to come forward. Many thoughtful remarks were made at last
Friday's teach-in and everyone who spoke is asked to consider sharing those
thoughts further. For more information or to indicate a willingness to
be a source, contact News Director Stacia Senne (x7510, ssenne@gustavus.edu).

GUSTAVUS TIDBITS:
From the Archives... Peter
Anderson came to America in 1850 as the leader of a group of about 100
immigrants from Hassela, Sweden. In 1851, he and his family, together with
3 other families, founded the first permanent Lutheran settlement in Minnesota,
at Chisago Lake in Center City. Eric Norelius kept diaries all the way
from Hassela to Minnesota, 17 diaries in all. A copy of these diaries is
stored in the library archives. Currently a Swedish television journalist
working on a movie about the men's journey is visiting the archives.

or answers) for consideration in this section, contact Stacia Senne (x7510
