ormer Pakistan President PervezMusharraf is the speaker for the 14thBoe Forum on Public Affairs in the

Center for Western Studies. PresidentMusharraf’s addressbegins at 7:30 p.m.Friday, October 2, inthe Elmen Center,located at 2505 S.Grange Avenue onthe Augustanacampus. He servedas President ofPakistan from 2001-2008, and ChiefExecutive of Pakistanfrom 1999-2001.The event is free andopen to the public.Tickets are requiredfor admission. Allseating is generaladmission by section.As a benefit of membership, CWSmembers receive advance ticketinformation.

President Pervez Musharraf occupiedwhat TIMEMagazine described as “Themost dangerous job in the world,” playinga crucial role in the global war on terror.President Musharraf has survived twoassassination attempts; rooted outmilitants in his own government; helpeddirect countless raids against Al Qaeda–both in his cities and in the mountains;and tracked Osama Bin Laden withtechnical and human intelligence. Hisastonishingly revealing memoir, In the Lineof Fire, chronicles his struggles for thesecurity and political future of his nation,with high stakes for the world at large.At the start of his presidency, politicalrestructuring was one of the four areas offocus for his government. He beganexamining why democracy remaineddysfunctional in Pakistan and addressed

the core malaise. He empowered thepeople of Pakistan at the grass roots levelthrough a local government system, whichdid not previously exist; the women of

Pakistan wereempowered by gainingreserve seats at everytier of the Parliament;multiple private TVchannels were allowedfor the first time inthe history ofPakistan, and theelectronic and printmedia beganoperatingindependently of thegovernment.Following the

September 11 terrorattacks, the UnitedStates soughtPresident Musharraf’s

support to fight the Taliban. With a visionfor a modern, democratic, non-fundamentalist Islamic Pakistan, PresidentMusharraf was one of America’s greatestallies in helping to fight the Taliban.

In the course of his seven years at thehelm of affairs in Pakistan, PresidentMusharraf traveled widely all over theworld and met many prominent leaders,and many of those leaders came toPakistan and interacted with him. Suchtop-level interactions allowed him todevelop a sense of the geo-strategicrealities of the world, and various conflictregions. It also crystallized his views andperceptions of key world issues. PresidentMusharraf articulated one such thought tobring harmony into distraught regions inthe form of a “strategy of EnlightenedModeration.” This captured theimagination of the West in particular, andwas adopted by the Islamic World forEnlightened Moderation.

The Islamic Republic of Pakistanis the sixth most populous countryin the world. It has the world’ssecond largest Muslim population,with 70 percent Sunni and 30percent Shi’a. Bordered byAfghanistan and Iran on the west,India on the east, China in theextreme northeast, and with acoastline along the Arabian Sea andGulf of Oman, Pakistan is ofstrategic importance to the UnitedStates.

Its all-volunteer armed forces arethe world’s sixth largest. In 1947Pakistan declared its independencefrom the British Empire and formeda Muslim state, separate from India.In 1956 it became an Islamicrepublic. English is its officiallanguage, and Urdu its nationallanguage. Pakistan’s population,

President Musharraf had a vision forPakistan, and still believes that it is anation that has all the resources, thepotential and all the human capability tobe transformed into a progressive,moderate, prosperous Islamic State.

President Musharraf was theunanimous choice of the Boe ForumCommittee and was approved by the CWSBoard of Directors. His topic will be “TheInternal and External Dynamics ofPakistan.” The Boe Forum on Public Affairswas established by South Dakota

Morethan 1/5th of the world’spopulation is located in South Asia,which includes India, the world’ssecond most populous country andlargest democracy.

The name “Pakistan” is anacronym developed by CambridgeUniversity students who issued apamphlet in 1933 called Now orNever and is “composed of letterstaken from the names of ourhomelands: that is, Punjab,Afghania [North-West FrontierProvince], Kashmir, Iran, Sindh,Tukharistan, Afghanistan, andBalochistan. It means the land ofthe Paks, the spiritually pure andclean.”

Governor Nils Boe and his sisters,Lois Boe Hyslop and Borghild Boe.A trust established by the Boesstates: “It is the grantor’s wish thatas events occur and/or issues orproblems arise which are of currentworldwide or national concern and ofbroad public interest, such issues andevents be discussed, reviewed andexamined at the Forum by a person orpersons singularly knowledgeable,preferably through personalexperience, in the subject matter to bepresented. The Forum shall not beconducted or used for political,partisan, or sectarian purposes.”

n Tuesday, June 16, 270 peopleenjoyed a splendid evening as CWShosted its twentieth annual June

Event. The event changed venues twice inthe last two years. In 2008 it was held atthe Washington Pavilion and this year inthe dining hall on the Augustana Collegecampus. The change in venue, as well asthe change in appearance of the event,was due in part to the subject of the eventand the focus of the evening.

The 2009 June Event was entitled ATribute to Arthur R. Huseboe. Dr. Huseboeis a living legend not only at AugustanaCollege, but also inSioux Falls andacross South Dakotaand the NorthernPlains. Typical JuneEvents have featuredmusicals, theater, orsome combination.This year, the wholenight was about Dr.Huseboe.

CWS boardmember DaveJohnson served brilliantly as the Master ofCeremonies. The Bill Gibson Trio beganthe evening by playing one of Art’s favoritesongs. Augustana class of 1953 graduateRobert C. Steensma spoke about hisrelationship to Art as a fellow classmateand friend for almost sixty years.Augustana English professor emeritus RonRobinson talked about being a colleagueof Art’s in the Humanities Division.

Art, and his late wife, Doris, bothserved on the South Dakota SymphonyOrchestra board of directors, and theSidoti Trio, musicians from the SouthDakota Symphony Orchestra, played anumber dedicated to Art and Doris.Former student Jane Rasmussen thenspoke about what it was like to take

classes from Art and be his advisee. MaryHart of Entertainment Tonight fame wasunable to attend so she recorded a video,which was played for the audience andArt. Hart, Augustana class of 1972, had aspecial relationship with the Huseboes,particularly Doris. The evening concludedwith a video montage of Art’s friends,colleagues, and classmates wishing himwell.

The event was also a successfulfundraiser for the Center. In addition tothe money raised from the event itself,supporters contributed in Art’s honor to

the currentendowmentcampaign. In a timeof economicrecession whensimilar organizationsall across the countryare struggling, theCenter for WesternStudies is fortunateto have a strong baseof supporters.THANK YOU one

and all, donors and sponsors, for yourgenerous contributions to CWS. Thanksto the wonderful speakers and musiciansfor the evening.

Dr. Huseboe became Director Emeritusof the Center on August 1. He wasdelighted by the outpouring of praise andadmiration. He was also humbled andjoked at the event about the homage, “I’mreminded of our great Augustanaprofessor and artist Palmer Eide, who’sdone so many fine things in Sioux Falls.When he was given the college’s AlumniAchievement Award, he said, ‘This is awonderful mistake’.”

Dr. Harry F. Thompson became IntermDirector of the Center on August1.

throughout South Dakota. Evans wrotepoems inspired by Steinley’s paintings,using either the finished painting or apreliminary oil sketch as an entry point intohis own memories and experiences. Insome cases, the poem would lead Steinleyback to the originalsite to re-examinethe imagery in lightof the “lessons” fromDavid’s poem, and a

new painting would emerge. The project was inspired by a week-long

workshop in 2003 entitled “CelebratingRural Life through Painting and Writing.”The collaboration of these two artistsresulted in “pairings” created over a two-year period from 2005 to 2007 and theresulting exhibit clearly shows how a writer can learn from apainter and a painter from a writer.

in Northern Plains studies was conceivedand proposed by Thompson in 2003and approved by the faculty curriculumcouncil in 2007, with the assistance ofDr. Michael Mullin, NEH Chair inRegional Heritage.

The following course descriptionappears in the Interim catalog: “What

does a nearly 200-year-old documentlook like? What can we learn about theindividual and culture that produced it?Recognizing the convergence ofinterpretive strategies regarding primarysources (or cultural artifacts) across thedisciplines of history, literature, religion,and anthropology, this course makes useof the letters, diaries, and journals ofteachers, missionaries, soldiers, andsettlers who lived in the Northern Plains.

These documents also provide first-contact descriptions of NativeAmericans. Using the archives ofAugustana’s Center for Western Studies,supported by lectures, discussions,readings, and films, students will developthe theoretical and cultural contextsnecessary for preparing a scholarlyedition of an original document. Letters,diaries, and journals in popular literatureand film will also be considered.”
