The Augsburg College Choir and the Augsburg College Band have earned a distinguished reputation in annual concert tours.
 Mayo Savold, director of the 50- piece band, who will appear with the group here, has taught both instrumental and choral groups at Augsburg. He has won recognition for two innovations in band train ing. Savold annually develops a singing band. He first tests stu dents for their vocal ability before hearing their instrumental audi tions.
 "This gives students greater sen sitivity to instrumental tone and balance" he says. "They are guid- ed to listen to their instruments as they listen to their voices when singing to become more expressive and conscious of musical phras- ing"
 Each band concert program in- cludeS at least one a cappela choral number.
 As a second innovation, Savold has developed an unusual place ment of instruments, achieving an improved clarity and unity.
 In addition, his concert pro grams have been noted for mature simplicity contributing a rich musical experience to youth and adult audiences alike"

Co. D Rates High In Combat I Tactics

Company D, 3rd Battle Group 297th Infantry, Alaska National Guard, returned home Sunday from it's annual encampment al Fort Richardson.
 The encampment was of two weeks duration and tested the practicability of classroom theory taught during a large portion of the training year.
 Because of their proficiency in combat tactics, Company D was selected to serve as aggressor forces and proved to be an in valuable training aid for all other units of the Battle Group. The proficiency shown was due mainly to the local unit policy of conduct ing a large percentage of the weekly drills in the hills of Ko- diak, according to SEC William Robertson and SEC Gene Sund- berg.
 1st It. Jacob Lestenkof, an ex- Marine, is currently serving in the dual capacity of Company Com mander of Company D and Battle Group assistant S-3. It. Lestenokf paid tribute to the intelligent lead ership of his non-commissioned officers and the loyalty and will ingness of his men, which, he said, accounts for the units outstanding performance.
