Constitution Day at Augustana

wvik staff

Augustana College will observe Constitution Day on Thursday. Students and staff will take turns reading from the preamble to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. 

The reading will be done in the rotunda (3rd floor) of Old Main where reproductions of the documents are on permanent display, thanks to a gift from 1971 graduate John Malvik, and his wife Wanda.

A federal law recommends every college and university that receives federal funding observe Constitution Day each year on September 17th.
The readings at Augustana will start on the hour, from 8 am to 5 pm. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
