Day Student Government Resolution-Catering Policy

On Friday, December 9 the Echo printed a resolution passed by Day Student Government regarding the Augsburg College catering policy. There has been some confusion over what this resolution means. Please read below for clarification:

The Day Student Government passed what is called a resolution, which is a non-binding formal statement of opinion. In other words, this resolution is the formal statement of opinion of the Day Student Government in regards to the catering policy at Augsburg College.

Please note that nothing about the current catering policy has changed. It may have appeared in the article as though the catering policy was altered, but in fact, student groups and college departments are still required to utilize A'viands for on-campus events that have 25 or more people.

For questions about the catering policy, please contact Event & Conference Planning at events@augsburg.edu. For questions about the resolution, please contact the Day Student Government at stugov@augsburg.edu.

She had a goal or assist in 10 of her 17 games played this season, and had four game-winning goals to her credit.

Gilmer, Loyd Named All-North Region

http://athletics.augsburg.edu/news/2011/12/14/msoc121411.aspx?path=msoc

MINNEAPOLIS -- Augsburg College men's soccer defenders Chad Gilmer (JR, Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson HS) and Peter Loyd (SR, Plymouth, Minn./Robbinsdale Armstrong HS) were named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Division III All-North Region Teams, it was announced on Tuesday.

Gilmer was named to the first team, while Loyd was named to the second team. It's the second year in a row that both have earned all-region honors. Gilmer was named to the first team last season, while Loyd was a third-team honoree. Augsburg has had 10 NSCAA all-region honorees and 12 overall (NSCAA, D3Kicks.com) all-region honorees since 2006.

Both Gilmer and Loyd also earned All-Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors in November. Last year's MIAC Player of the Year, Gilmer earned his third straight all-conference honor, after being named All-MIAC in 2010 and All-MIAC honorable-mention in 2009. Loyd earned all-conference honors for the fourth straight year -- All-MIAC honors in 2011, 2010 and 2009, and All-MIAC honorable-mention honors in 2008.

Playing in 14 games this season after missing four games due to injury, Gilmer continued to shine as one of the most versatile players on the team, scoring three goals for six points on the season. He started the season as one of the backbones of Augsburg's defense, then contributed throughout the field after returning from a three-game stretch due to injury late in the season.

In his three seasons at Augsburg (53 games, 52 starts), Gilmer now has 12 goals and six assists for 30 career points.

Loyd had the highest-scoring year of his career in 2011, scoring three goals with two assists for eight points. He started every game and appeared in a team-high 1,543 minutes of the team's 1,680 played this season (91.8 percent).

Starting 79 of Augsburg's 80 games in his four years, Loyd was the anchor of a defense that surrendered just 58 goals (0.69 goals-against-average) in his career, with 42 shutouts. Loyd finished his career with nine goals and three assists for 21 points.

Under eighth-year head coach Greg Holker, Augsburg finished 10-5-3 overall, 6-3-1 in MIAC play in 2011, reaching the MIAC postseason playoffs for the fourth time in the last six years. Augsburg has won 69 games (69-33-15, .654 winning percentage) during the past six seasons.
