Show moreDiamond Artists Take One, Lose Three Rally Upsets St. John’s For Lone Victory Augsburg lost a loosely played game to St. Olaf by a 16—12 decision at Brackett Field, May 3. The day was cold and more conducive to foot- ball than baseball. St. Olaf score eleven runs on six hits in the first two innings. During these two Iramcs the Auggies booted the hall in great style and made a large share of their clcvun errors tor the day's play. The ()les started to falter in the later innnings and the Auggies took heart. In scvcral spirited rallies in the ﬁfth, sixth, and eigth innings they counted nlnc runs. But St. Olaf cola lcctctl a pair in thl: ninth to clinch the game. ltm'tvcilt and Nelson of Augsburg \vcrc credited with four-ply wallops wliilc lvcrson (if the visitors also cone nuctcd for a homer. The Auggics lost an excellent chant-c to even up things in the ninth when llurtvedt lapsed momentarily and pilri-ri-il second with the sacks luudL-(l, forcing Johnson at home for tho thll‘tl out. Manley and Anlundson shared the pitching hurtlun fnr the loscrs, thc lirst-nunlt-(l hul‘lL-r lIt‘ing credited with tho defeat. Gusties Hit Freely To Beat Auggies, 13-3 In a gamc icaturing a hitting rnnipago iv the Gusties, thc Auggics took a ' hunting on the Gustavus lot. I\l ; (i. The Gustic swattcrs got to "Lofty" Amundsen in the ﬁrst four nouns rnr ﬁrt- hits and six runs. The Auggi star-lull the scoring by tally» in run on a hit. n walk, and an cl" l'or in tho lirst inning, holding the tlustrcs to no hits or runs in their half of the ﬁrst. The Gusties' big innings were the third, fourth, and eighth when they succeeded in crossing the rubber ten times. Manley took up the mound work in tho (mirth and hurled crcditable ball. allowing tire hits, but the numerous orrnrs committed both in thc inﬁeld and thc outcr gnrdcn permitth seven runs to bc tnllicd from live hits. Knlcsnr was the outstanding hitter of the day, collecting three hits out of In F ortnight’s Play N etmen Bow Before St. Thomas and Hamline The Augsburg tennis teams have met defeat twice this spring—once at the hands of St. Thomas, May 2, and again at Hamline, May 7. In the ﬁrst encounter Augsburg was represented by Westby, L. Johnson, and Hegg. In the second Westby, Wirth, Engbret- son, and L. Johnson played for Augs- burg. On a cold, dreary day for tennis, St. Thomas defeated Augsburg to the folr lowing tune: Doyle-Westby, 6-2; 6-4; Koob-Hegg, GAO, 6-1; Wetzler-Johnson 6~1, 671. In the doubles#Doylc and W'ctzler7Wcstby and Johnson, 6-1, 6-]. The defeat administered by Ham- line was equally crushing: Singlesi Brackner-Wcstby, 670, 62; Halls \Virth, 6-0, 6-2; Engbrctson, 6.0, 6.3. Douhlesillall and Brackneriwirth and Wcstby, 671, 672; MacGregor and BielenbergﬁJohnson and Engbretson. 6-3, 6-2. Seniors Beat Frosh In Diamondball Opener “Galloping” Grimstad Hurls For Upper Classmen With the ﬁrst game of the diamond- bnll tournament played, the seniors ﬁnd themselves in possession of an undisputed lead by virtue of having administered a 17-11 defeat to the S freshmen. The game was played on the Riverside diamond, May 9. Joe Ordos pitched the whole game for the freshmen, while Sig Osgaard workcd behind the hat. The support failed at crucial moments, which, to- gether with senior slugging power, brought the freshmen defeat. The seniors gained an early lead which they never relinquished “Gal- loping" Grimstad hurled for the sen- iors with Juel Pihlstrom receiving. While his support was far from error- less, it saved him in the pinches. The sophomore-junior game sche- duled for the same afternoon, Was postponed. St. Thomas Rallies To Win On Home Field rive trips to the plate including a holucrrun. The Gustie hits were well distributcd among the whole team. norgcn pitched stcllar ball for the (lusties. allowing only ﬁve scattered hits and four passes. l .—-—— l Kolesar Wins Honor Trophy (minimian from [mgr 1) nthlctc for two succ sire years. while Luther Slt‘ltcn “'0” the coveted honor - of this year's clection: studcnt Scholastic Athlctirs Vote Rccord Total Kolusar 12 l G 25 l‘t‘tlcrson b‘ ’7 5 20 llurtvmlt ’l 5 5 17 Johnson 5 4 4 13 Malta -| 4 5 13 Hudson 4 3 5 12 40 311 30 100 Choral Soc1ety Returns From Tour (L‘mlliuui-il from ,ingi- H Esther Berlitz proved a very efﬁcient hilslcss. After the concert Hazel and Elsie tried ﬁshing. but it seems that girls don‘t make the best ﬁshermen (or ﬁsher-women). May 3—A bit distrustful of those new-fangled things culled automobiles seven of the hardier lasses resorted to man's most ancient mode of transpor- tation. Authorities diﬁer as to the exact mileage covered by the hikers. but they all arrived safely (though stiﬂly) in Cyrus for dinner. May 4—The last concert is orerv and enough pep remains for a round of jolly cheers for the ladies who served us a midnight lunch before train-time. St. Thomas rallied after staking Augsburg to a ﬁve run lead in the ﬁrst inning, and pulled out a 9-6 vic~ tory on the St. Paul school‘s ﬁeld, May 11. The Tommies counted twice in their half of the ﬁrst; three runs trickled across the platter in the third; and they ﬁnished their scoring in the sixth by chasing four runners over the plate on some solid hitting and ques- tionable Auggie inﬁeld work. Both teams used three pitchers. Rortvedt started for Augsburg, but gave way to Amundson who was charged with the defeat. Kolesar ﬁnished the game and held the Tom- mics in hand during his stay on the mound. Stuns, Le Clercq, and Hall did the hurling for the Catholics. They held the Auggies to seven hits While St. Thomas was collecting fourteen. 0f the losers’ seven hits, Captain Johnson and Thies collected two apiece, Mona, Kolesar, and Madsen each getting a lone hingle. Augsburg’s conference record now stands at two wins and three losses. Auggies Defeat St. John’s, 7-6 By “aging an eighth inning rally, Aug-burg defeated the Johnnie: at Brackett ﬁeld, May 4. The St. John’s nine had scored the opening runs to lead the Aussies until the eighth in- ning when the Auggies tallied three times on two hits and an error to even up the score at six all. Then in the ninth, Mona scored from second when “Koley’s” drive to short was juggled and a wild peg to ﬁrst allowed him to reach that sack safely. Kolesar started oﬂ' rather inaum piciously to allow the Johnnies to score six runs in the ﬁrst three in- nings but from then on he pitched shutout ball. Mona was the outstanding hitter with three hits out of four trips to the platter while Johnson and Nelson each garnered two hits. Baumgartner did stellar work for the Johnnies, pol- ing three hits, one of which was a. homer, and accepting three chances in the ﬁeld without a slip. Box score: Augsburg Madsen. cf. Thies, 2b.

Show moreSeniors On Parade According to alphabetical order. Lu- ella Foss should have appeared far- ther up the line. She must have been detained—for some reason or other. Everyone recognizes "Lu's" ability as a pianist. We’ve all heard her play; for chapel exercises as well as at en- tertainments. The loss of “Lu” will be keenly felt in Augsburg's musical circles. “Lu’s” cousin, Mabel, has also been with us this year. She too hails from North Dakota. VVe’ve enjoyed know» iug Mabel. We only regret that she is spending such a short time with us. With a quick step and an air of de» termination the next aspirant ap- pears. Allow us to introduce Hannah Jerstad, the president of the W. S. G. A. We’ll all admit that she pos- sesses the qualities necessary for any executive position. No doubt Hannah knows Augsburg better than most of us, for she was brought up on the campus, and has followed Augsburg activities from childhood. We hear the sound of faltering foot» steps. Can it be that old age is at tacking one of our worthy seniors? Oh, no, it‘s just “Walt” Johnson who sprained his ankle chasing a ball the other day. “Walt” has made quite a name for himself in athletics. He is, at present, the captain of the baseball team. Hurrying to catch up with "Dooley" and the rest of the “bunch” comes Esther Knutson. As to Esther's per- sonality, appearance, and character, we can say nothing that is not com- plimentary. We may add that Esther is also an excellent student. The Juniors are inclined to feel a triﬂe rebellious when the name of “Art” Leland is mentioned. “Art” is finishing college in three years; con- sequently, the Junior class has been rolbhed of one of its foremost mem- bers. Vi’hcn we think of “Art”, we invariably think of “high powered salesmanship". Clarence Lund seems to be in a hurry. He‘s carrying his cornet; so, no doubt, he’s on his way to orchestra rehearsal. Clarence’s cheery smile seems to indicate that he is always happy. Helen Mortensen is next in line. Somehow or other, the name “Gussie” seems to suit her to perfection. “Gus- sie" is a math-shark, ﬁguratively speaking. A fairyslike ﬁgure next appears on the scene. Tryphine Nelson has spent three years at Augsburggcoming here from the University of Minne- sota. To replace “Trinie” would be impossiblt. “None but herself could be her parallel." Choral Society Reports Tour Happenings (Continual from page i) llozel evinced gratiﬁcation, antici- pniion. and whatnot as she approach» ed her Waterloo (or what was his niillle'f). The concert wcnt well in spite of the fact that Art Evju was in the audience. April 267The most important thing about our stay at Henning was that the girls met the Rortvedt, Johnson, and Sorkness families. To save railroad fare (or, was it to wear out extra shoe leather?) Miss Skurdalsvold, “Mugs”, and “Ole” hiked from Henning to Vining. April 27gPear1's home was the Had center of attraction at Vining. he not feasted on angel-food cake for a week, it is doubtful if “Opiiie” could have endured Farl's pranks and em- erged as sweet tempered as ever. April 28th—Lcaring Vining on a cold Sunday morning, we traveled by bus to Fergus Falls. “'e sang at the morning services. We were hurried by car to Pelican Rapids for an afternoon concert. That evening we gave our concert at Fer- gus Falls before a packed house—the largest during the whole tour. Battle Lake, April 29—-The Choral Society found out that Battle Lake has a fine high school. The club. minus six members. sang for the high Mhool students. The concert in the evening netted more than any other on the tour. The girls must have felt romantic, for they spent much time on the shores of beautiful Battle Lake Dalton, April 30——Amidst the rain the girls enjoyed the country around Dalton. (Contimitd on page 3) Augsburg Orchestra Returns From Tour (Continued from page 1) nothing serious happened there, but precautions are quite eﬁ‘ective after all. Tuesday the ﬂeet sailed into the home port of Captain Dahlen. Cap- tain Dr. Quam’s ship was delayed on this lap of the trip. but it ﬁnally ar- rived. Then a delicious banquet was served by the Daheln family. The ships were endangered with over» loading after this stop. The banquet was so ﬁne that everything on the table disappeared but the silverware and the dishes. While the ships were being examined the Orchestra per» formed at the Luverne Lutheran Free Church. That night a great storm arose that threatened to delay pro- gress, but the daring Captains refused to be delayed. In one terriﬁc gale a life-belt was thrown overboard and lost, but the dreadnaught recovered it at great hauard. The storm increased, raging terriﬁcally all afternoon, but the ships sailed on till they ﬁnally reached safely at Adrian. Here the downpour of rain and the huge waves made sailing difﬁcult and extremely dangerous. However, the sailors were determined to make a great event of their visit at this port, and after it was all over (the concert) they had surprised themselves—the storm had ceased. Early the next morning the ﬂeet labored against a stiﬂ' wind to Wins dom. The Adrian Fire Department had equipped “Harmony” with a real storm hat. With the hat on his head and his auxiliary “swinett” in his mouth neither wind nor wave could deter him from bringing the ﬂeet to port. Not without diﬂiculties however did they proceed. Captain Quam's ship suﬁered a boiler explosion that slowed down its forward motion to two knots an hour. Still its occupants arrived before the banquet was entirely over. At Windom Mr. Hagen had more experiences than the rest of the tour- ists, but all had aplenty. It was at this port that two Lochinvars were serenaded by the town belles. And at the high school the next morning Mr. Lower introduced some rare specimens at a very rare occasion. And it was at this port that Mrs. Davis LeClair, seeing how all felt, sang The Doll's Song—“I've Got a Pain In My Saw» dust” for the amusement of the high school boys and girls. The ﬂeet, except Hagen’s ship, got under way for Estherville, Iowa, Fri- day morning. Arriving there on schedule time the personnel of the Orchestra was introduced to Miss HERMAN LARSON Photographer 2703 EAsT LAKE srnEET ' Dupont u'li Special Dlacounl to Gtudentl Dr. Oliver G.

A delightful lunch was served by the home folks in the spacious Gurde home which was thrown open to the players. After a most successful concert in the M. E. Church of Estherville u very pleasing treat was given the troupe by mem- bers of the Gaarde family in the home music studio. Another delicious lunch made a very ﬁtting close to a strenu- ous day of joy and work. The sand man claimed the who‘c group Saturday morning. At 12:30 o’clock P.

The weather was gorgeous for the celebration of the near close of a most successful concert tour. There was only one very unr fortunate occurrence: Mrs. LeClair crushed three of her ﬁngers in the door of the Gaarde automobile, cuus» ing her a great deal of pain. The whole group, however, claim that with Mrs. LeClair (and a bottle of Lav- O-din) along they can overcome any misfortune that may overtake them. Such is the effect of a cheerful dispo- sition. The last port for the ﬂeet to visit was Lemond Lutheran Church at El- lendale. This last lap of the marine journey was over a rough, uncharted sea. The dreadnaught got stuck in the sargasso sea. And, while two of the cruisers went out for observav tions. Captain Quani‘s ship steered into port, number one! The tender took a round about course and almost upset the hopes of the natives, but the good captain, even though tired and weary held to his ship and his iuty until the destination was reached. Now that the fleet is again in Min- neapolis, it is said that one of the women learned how to ride a bicycle at Estherville. (One would guess that it was Marie Johnson). “Billy” and “Lou” learned something about ang- ling, Urcell “Harmony” “refused to get mad," Lester lost his grip on the horse's tail (Violin bow), Manley found someone to adjust his tie just before every concert, “Farney” almost lost his shirt, Berner was tempted to subscribe to the ﬂood relief fund— Lund also, “Harmony” forgot to say “Sure”, and Kristy got to Minneapolis too.

May 13. By so doing he won the right of having his name en-, graved on the Class of 1918 Oratorio-l Cup. Prof. S. B. Severson presided at Monday night's cont/est. First to speak was Sigurd Berg with “The‘ Constitution". “Jeﬂerson and The Constitution" was given by the event- ual winner after which Emil Fossan delivered his oration, “The Struggle For Peace". Finally Theodore Jen- sen presented “Hamilton and The Con- stitution”. The second place winner, Theodore Jensen, won a silver medal; and Emil Fossen, third place winner, won the bronze medal.

Augsburg Orchestra Returns From Tom- “Dr.” Quam Proves Most Faithful Pilot (Continued from last issue) Frith Monseth was now bringing' the tourists into his home port. The natives stood on the dock to greet thel brave adventurers. And surely it was a wonderful greeting that they ex- tended. (It is said that the orchestra in Minnecta that Fritz formerly di- rected envied him his success in the Augsburg Orchestra.) They surely made a ﬁne audience for which to play. (Sh—l they say that one of the boys started to wash someone's neck —ah—on the chancel—when the church was full of folks—sh!) The Fleet set sail for Hendricks the next day. At this port the troupe spent some time at recreation. Some of the girls learned something about ﬁshing. Hilda was especially thrilled by the intricacies of angling. And certain parts of the Orchestra had an unusually jovial time at the splendid banquet that the ﬁne folks of Heu- dricks furnished. That evening at the concert the minister took special occasion to inform his charge )1 the PK's that were on the stage. He must have seen the wicked grin on Borrevik’s face, for he pointed him out in particular.

Pederson, Mis- sionary to India, speak on the power of the Gospel. Mrs. Pederson read Rom. 1:15, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth," and told What etfect the Gospel had had on a young heathen boy named Antony. This boy had been given Christian schooling and the privilege of hear- ing the Gospel and he had made won- derful use of his opportunities. Mrs. Pederson showed how the Word of God had taken complete control of this boy, and how his life has been con- secrated in service to God. Throughout her entire talk, Mrs. Pederson emphasized the power of the Gospel, picturing the fruits of its work, and the joy of seeing that it is a living power.

Miss Elsie Lokken, the Junior class president, acted as toastmistress. After the invocation by Sigurd Berg, Alice Melbye played a piano solo. The toast of welcome to the Seniors was followed by a response of appre- ciation by the Senior Class President, Arthur Erdahl. The Senior Class History compiled by Alice Melbye, Stella Peterson and Warren Hansen was read, whereby the Seniors were once again reminded of the good old days of the past. President Sverdrup, in his address, brought forth the fundamental thought, that when one gets out into the world he should cling steadfastly to the high ideals that he has built up during his college days. The class prophecy, written by Ms» rie Halvorson, Emil Fossan, and Laurence Hoﬁ, made known to the Seniors what the future held in store for them. Much to his surprise each learned that he would either be a law- yer, doctor, teacher or scribe. A cornet solo by Clarence Berg. a vocal solo by Alice Dahl, and numbers by the Junior Giﬂs’ Quartette com— prised the musical entertainment. In the Class Will, written by Olga Huebner, James Pederson and Alice Dahl, and read by James Pederson, each senior bequeathed his most prized possession of college life to some member of the Junior class. Prof. Fosse, the Senior Class Advi- sor made use of this last opportunity of giving the Seniors one “last parting shot," of advice, which he did very ﬁttingly in his toast. He cautioned all to be optimistic, and not to waste precious energy on pessimism. Big “Graft” Exposed In Dormitory Clean-up Forty Auggies, most of them resi- dents of the dormitories, voluntarily surrendered for a ride “up the river" last Monday, by aﬂixing their names to an agreement on the bulletin board to visit the penal institution in come puny with Prof. Lundeen's sociology class. This quick and easy method of ex- posing these long suspected grafters undoubtedly saved Augsburg and the state thousands of dollars in lawyer’s fees alone. The culprits, who even consented to pay the cost of their transportation, left in an orderly manner, and in true Aldermsnic style were conducted to the house of correction. (N. B. The whole group, bag and baggage, returned the same evening, however. Somebody said that Min- neapolis' two per-cent quota for May was already ﬁlled). Theologians Entertained On Monday evening, May 13, the senior theologians were honored by a banquet given by the Middle and Junior classes at Carlson’s Restau- rant, 27th and lake St The welcome speech was given by Alvor Anderson to which John B. Berg, President of the Senior class, responded. Short toasts were given by several others W. S. Mother’s Day Service G. A. Sponsors Mrs. Sverdrup and Esther Knutson Speak Seven o'clock Sunday morning found a large number gathered in the chapel for the Mother’s Day service. sponsored by the W. S. G. A. Speaking from the mother’s point of view, Mrs. Sverdrup centered her address around the deep meaning of Mother's Day. She stressed the need for a sympathetic understanding be» tween mother and child. A beautiful tribute to all mothers and especially Christian mothers was paid by Esther Knutson in her talk from a student's viewpoint. Lloyd Sand sang “I Need Thee Jesus” and “Little Mother O’Mine” at the beginning of the service, and Ger- trude Vogt sang “I’m Going Back to Home and Mother" at the close. Arrangements for the service were in charge of the W. S. G. A. Religious Committee of which Pearl Aanstad is the chairman. Buhl High School Wins Lambda Essay Contest Winner Gets Cash 0r Year’s Tuition Miss Mayme Maki’s essay “The Way of the Star" won for her ﬁrst place and a prize of ﬁfty dollars or one year‘s tuition at Augsburg in the Statewide essay contest sponsored in the Lambda Epsilon Phi Literary So ciety. Mr. Jack Westfall of Montevideo took second place with his essay, “My Aim in Getting an Education," and Miss Lorene McNiﬁ' of Ortonville took third with her essay “Symposium of my Aim in Getting an Education." Abner Batalden, Chairman of the Committee of Judges, says in “The Dial" that almost all the essays showed a tendency “not to found a purposive education merely upon a self-centered and mercenary advant- age, but rather upon service through a noble love of fellow-men." Members of the Echo staﬂ accom- panied by the Misses Mortensen and Hanson, enjoyed a picnic supper at Augsburg Park, Monday evening. John Kolesar, Three Leller Mall, Alhlelic Honor Trophy For l929 6 NUMBER hi / Wins Pederson Runs Classmate Close Second John Kolcssr of the Class of 1830 has been awarded the Athletic Honor Cup for 1929. In awarding the trophy. the pur» pose of which is the selling of high standards of scholarship among ath- letes, athletics count forty per-cent, student vote thirty per—cunt, and scholastic standings twenty per-cent, James PL‘LlC‘l‘SUn, another junior, was a close second to “Holey” in the tabulation. This year's honor athlete is a three- letter man, taking part in football, basketball and baseball. He has al- ready won elcvcn letters in these sports and bids fair to set an all-time record for Augsburg athletes to aim at, before the completion of his senior year. Recognized as one of the most bril- liant performers in state basketball circles, John has been chosen for the mythical allvstate team for three suc- cessive seasons. He was also selected as all-state quarterback last fall in recognition of his great play on Augs- burg’s co-championship team. “Koley‘s” name appears fourth on the cup.

Foresight In Registration One would naturally think that a student upon entering college knows the line of study he wishes to pursue in order to attain a deﬁnite goal. Unfortunately, however, this is frequently not the case. We are too prone to let each school term pass by without giving any particular attention to our courses of study, so that when graduation comes we may ﬁnd that we are lacking in the required credits in some particular line. Upon setting out on a journey one ﬁnds that there are mile- posts along the way. They do not in any way increase or hinder progress, but they tell us that we are that much closer to our de- stination, and are a means whereby we can judge if we are on time or not. There are mile-posts for us in college also. We see the new quarters approaching, we pass them, and then leave them behind. Time waits for no man; when it passes it is beyond our reach. In order that we may have no regrets, we should use fore- sight and plan our work ahead. These mile—posts in college should guide us in keeping to our schedules. First we must have deﬁnite goals; then our courses should be mapped out so that they have the proper sequence and show the right progress. It is in this respect that we err. We should not leave registration until the last minute, and then do it in a haphazard way just for the sake of getting the required num- ber of hours. Such a course is bound to lead to difﬁculties before graduation. We should have our entire course planned before- hand, and then let each mile-post be a guide in helping us check up on ourselves so that we never get behind schedule. Springtime At last the bud Springtime has blossomed out in all its gran- deur. The sun is just a little warmer, the breezes have changed from chill April gusts into gentle soothing zephyrs that lift the rich and opening foliage lightly on wings of life and joy. Every— thing is green, fresh, lively, and full of sunshine and happiness. But college life is not behind in its recognition of, nor adjust- ment to, the season’s spirit of exuberance. In the gay dresses, the smiles, the happy greetings, the light and airy conversation— in all we ﬁnd expressions of new life, of childish glee, and of hap- lness. p Walks thru parks, kodaking, picnics, banquets, and other di- versions ﬁnd their place in the week‘s program. They help to sa» tisfy that longing of the soul to be where everything is newly alive and beautiful. They transform our busy and careworn laborers into children living in a Utopia where everything is in tune with happiness. So is a student’s life enriched, receiving ever new inspiration for the tasks which become so multitudinous near the school year‘s end. If he will but direct this bubbling-over enthusiasm and zest into the useful channels, he will emerge from his year‘s striving for knowledge with victory and a happy heart. Alumni Campus Notes A very pretty wedding took place at Trinity Church, Saturday evening, May 4th, when Miss Alfhild Casper» sen was married to Mr. Ernest Wold of Minneapolis. The bride is a form- er student of Augsburg and “The Among those who apparently have been born under a “lucky star" is Oliver Justin Lee, who received his B. A. degree from Augsburg in 1901. After graduating from Augsburg he continued his studies at the Uni- versity of Minnesota, and at Chicago University.

Lillehci o >.,ACADEMY as his studies in Acts, basing his talk on Acts 20:17-18. He spoke of Paul’s faithfulness in his ministry and his concern for the church at Ephesus. Prof. Lillehei emphasized the need of 7 toward God and faith to- ward Christ. 3 May 1—Prof. Melby gave a forceful lecture wherein he condemned some of the modernistic views of God, the soul, and the religion in the future. He showed how modernists in religion advocate a new conception of God and at the same time consider any efforts to secure a new conception of God as futile. He also showed how they were trying to do away with the Ten Commandments. In this connection Prof. Melby said that “The command- ments are not the truth of God be- cause they are in the Bible, but they are in the Bible because they are the truth of God.” Prof. Melby quoted scripture to show that one learns to know God through the Holy Spirit and faith, and not through man‘s wisdom. I: May Z—Rev. Burntvedt chose a pas- sage from Psalm 119 and exhorted his listeners to yearn for the things of God as the psalmist did. He also said that it is a great sin that we do not make greater use of the Word of God, and that it does not occupy a grater position in our lives. a May 3—Prof. Nash chose John 6: 22-35‘as his text and emphasized the need of spiritual food. Daily prayer and feasting on the Word of God—the Bread of Life, is necessary to a Christian‘s life. Spiritual food is most important because it leads one to an eternity with God. . May li—Prof. Lundeen based his talk on Eph. 1115723. He showed how important it was for a college student to have the right attitude because the man who gives the most of himself and expects the most, receives the most beneﬁts. He said that we see more through our hearts than thru our eyes. We need to look at Christ through our hearts and then we will understand Him. a May 8—Taking Heb. 12:1»13 as his text, Prof. Herzog stressed the im- portance of faith in our lives and ems phasized the fact that we are compass sod about with a cloud of Witnesses. The many Christians who have gone on before have started and ﬁnished the faith of which Christ is the author and the ﬁnisher. They are concerned about our souls and are praying for us. u May BiProf. Erinisch chose Acts 1:1-11 as the basis for his talk on As- cension Day. He presented a chal- lengc to those present to be witnesses for Christ. The ﬁrst disciples heard Jesus and went out to preach and make disciples of all peoples. He said that it was now our turn to do like- wise with the help of the Holy Spirit. 3 May “#Prof. Sveeggcn based his talk on Phil. 2:141, and pointed out that one can not come to Christ except through the Holy Spirit. He said that we should not stop at Christ’s humiliation at the Cross. but that we should go farther and see Him in his glory. The Holy Spirit helps one to know Christ and can help more than one believes. Kappa Gamma Rho The Kappa Gamma Rho met for a short session in East Hull, Thursday evening, May 2. The subject for especial conversa- tion was “The American" magazine. Prepared discusions were presented by Clifford Sather and Glendora Due< landi Opinions concerning the per— iodicul were then given by all mem- bers. Mr. Borrevik, Luella Foss, and Manly Gjerde, _who had just returned from the orchestra tour, were asked to relate some of their more pleasant experiences Hints of several interest- ing incidents were disclosed by the re— porters. The meeting was concluded with a fessor of astronomy at the University of Oregon. cipal spuhers. piano solo by Gertrude Vogt. ‘ (gave/ranges Editorial V The time has come again when we begin looking back over the passing school year. Time ﬂies swiftly, and it is almost impossible for us to realize that another year is so'nesrly gone. All in all, this has been I successful year. We have accomplished a great deal, and have had many‘experiences that will be of beneﬁtto us in the fu- ture. As we learn by experience, there is reason to believe that the next year will be even more successful. Here’s to a bigger and better Academy De- partment. Academy Tennis Tourney Reaches Finals The Academy tennis tournament reached the ﬁnals last week when Harold Anderson upset Clarence Elia- son, 0-6, 10»8, 6-3, and Julian Foss took two straight sets from Noel Lanes, 6-4, 6-3. The ﬁnals will be played off this week between Ander- son and Foss. In the opening rounds Eliason defeated Knutsen, while Foss, Anderson, and Lanes defeated Bjerke, Ksale, and Sitenhof respectively in straight sets. Although tennis is a new sport in the Academy the participants proved to have surprising ability in whip- ping the balls across the net. The "Gustavus Weekly" Bishop Hjalmcr Danell of Skara, Sweden, was present at the dedication of the new men’s dormitory. The ar- ticles sealed in the stone included a history of Gustavus Adolphus College, copies of the minutes of the Minne- sota conference and the Augustana Synod, a Bible, and a copy of the Lutheran Companion, Augustana Min- nesota State Tidning, Gustavian Weekly, and the St. Peter Herald. A telegram from Gov. Christianson, re- juicing in the growth of the college, was read at the ceremony. s "Manila" Messo‘nger" The Norwegian Envoy to U. S. will visit St. Olaf College, May 18. H. H. Bachke accepted an invitation to visit the college and to hear the famous St. Olaf choir. Mr. Backe‘s native city is Trondhjem. “College Chips” The ﬁrst edition of “Catilina”, the earliest work of Henrik Ibsen, is in the collection of Ibsen literature in the college library. The copy is one of the few and possibly the only one in the U. S. Indications are that the‘ library came into possession of the book be fore 1875, before the author had achieved his reputation. It was prob- ably obtained in Norway for a small sum by some member of the faculty. gainer and ﬂees-lined _ j December, 1921 The Annual Sigvald Qvnle Gold Me- dal Contest was held at Augsburg chapel, Saturday evening, Dec. 3. The contest was held under the auspices of “Det norske selskap,” Prof. Giale Bothne, president of that organization, presided. Ten contestants took part. Johnson was given second place in the contest for his splendid presentation of Asbjsrnson’s “Han far skjpl i stua" and Clement Leesland was given third place for his dramatic presentation of Bjdmson’s “ﬂivind, Marit og bukken." s In a practice game with St. Olaf church team, Augsburg’s basketball men came out victorious with the score 33 to 3. Melby seemed to have made the defense impenetrable so St. Olaf was forced to try the shots from the center of the floor. Homer “ Senior Class Is Entertained Professor and Mrs. Nash played host and hostess to the senior class at their home. Monday, May 6. Mr. Nash could not forget that he was a biology teacher, so he had his “pupils” busy ﬁguring out the names of birds. Clara showed her prowess along this line, and as a re- sult had a host of friends for the re- minder of the evening, for her prize was s‘ box of candy. Some of the boys had quite an ar- gument over who could get the most clothwpins into the bottle, and it is doubtful whether the question has been settled yet. After a delicious lunch had been served, the digniﬁed seniors bade their adieus, only sorry that the pleasant evening was over. The senior class has made plans for an outing at Prof. Holland’s cottage at Lake Minnetonka, May 22. . Attorney Arthur Markve will be the speaker at the Academy commence- ment exercises. girls who partook in the mixed doubles were Valborg Sverdrup. Clara Facial, Clara Nasdahl, and Bertha Lil~ e ei. Gorgeous Tanglegrams Isn’t it nice at Augsburg now? The girls got back from their tour and the Augsburg spirit is ﬂowing along ser- enely. You will all notice that spring came back with the return of the songsters. They are very beautiful singers.’ In fact one old deaf man said, “I couldn’t hear the singing but the beauty of the concert was very im- pressive." And now they are here and we can easily verify his statements. s Now that spring is here, and a young man's fancy begins twisting and turning, many of the boys are do- ing some wonderful work in develop- ing personal teachers placement bu- reaus. In lieu of the fact that 95% of the college girls in schools west of the Mississippi take the fatal step within ten years, it is not out of order to mention here this vital and import- ant phase in the development of the Augsburg College Teachers' Place- ment Bureau. 0 The college girl of today isn‘t Well- heeled. At the Echo Staff picnic last Week Alvor Anderson was kept inces- santly at work pounding on heels. I: There were ‘Tuxes’ and taxis and boys and girls and games. There were also ararngements of Various kinds, also a few derangements, (mostly mental) as the boys perused the list of names fanciful and fair for girls of the same nature. Some of the boys used the alphabetic system and ar- rived way down at Omega before they could go home and rest assured that preparations had been completely made for the gala evenninamely the Junior-Senior banquet The reason so many boys had to travel down the al- phabet was not because there was less preference; but because one has to start in somewhere. Many of the boys claim they gained a little practice in house-to-house salesmanship. One junior claimed he almost had to use hold-up methods to get the required espouse. As time went on, as it does in all cases, the chaos mentioned above took a more deﬁnite, crystalliud form. Then came May 10. The big event was at hand. Committees of boys sprang up instantly in the men’s 'dorms’ to auist the Epicureans into their ar- mor. Then—the Radisson and the splendid food with the impossible French names! Oh it was grand! Now it is all over. The hush is fall- ing like the silence that follows a storm. Memories and impressions of a lifetime were made; impressions that will never be removed and memo— ries that cannot be obliteﬂted. So the Junior—Senior banquet of 1929 is his— tory. It is the greatest and best one Augsburg has known, but we lcnuw it will be superceded each year as Augs— The line-up: Augsburg St. Olaf Church Barbi) ..

These contributions are made by Best.- rice Helland, Copy Editor for the "Echo", and a number of our faith- ful reporters, Marie Halvorson, Ly» dia Hailing, Elice Lokken and Alice Melbye. April l9—'Mid rousing cheers and songs, members of the Choral Society set out on their annual tour. The ﬁrst lap of the journey was made by bus. Except for a blow—out and “Ole” Wold’s suspension from a barbed wire fence, no casualties were reported. We were welcomed to Brainerd by Rev. J. R. Michaelson, who brought us to the church, where dinner was served. A reception in the church parlors followed the concert. Martha Mattson and Estelle Bren— den, both “grads” of ’28, found their way to Brainerd for the occasion. ADOLEsceNcE ( '1 ) April 20—Don’t ask us how much we ate at Sebeka. The answers would be too embarrassing for some of us. After ﬁnishing that “hearty repast" we felt that we needed some recrea- tion before the evening concert. We were attracted to the school grounds, ﬁrst. There we were forcibly remind- ed of Education class by the “traits of early adolescence" which were so admirably displayed by some of our worthy co—eds performing on the teeter—toners and swings. —— That evening we made our “debut” on the stage. We must confess, however, that nothing out of the ordinary re- sulted. April 21~Sunday morning found a goodly number of cars ready to take us to Nevis, where a concert was given in the afternoon. Alice Melbye was fully assured that playing trilly accompaniments on an organ is no joke. The only one who really enjoyed the program was "Kat". who was not urged to play her piano solo. Nevis's center of attraction proved to be Chester Olson and the twins. In the evening an eighteen-mile drive brought us to Walker on Leach Lake. Not ﬁnding her companions crabby enough, Hazel went out to ﬁsh crabs on the lake~shore, and was heart-broken when the dear things wouldn't bite on her stick. A trip to the state “sari” oﬁered an other opportunity for "Ole" to per- form on her camera, and, incidentally, make half a dozen yodelers late for rehearsal. SNORING Aa'rls'r Assls'rs April 22—Not even the smoker on the electric train could fully dampen our spirits as we journeyed to Bemidji this beautiful spring day. Anyway. who could be sad with “Ole” play» ingU) the mouth-organ? Our Benlidji concert was a huge success. Our success was due chieﬂy to our mndition of “By the Waters of Babylon" in which we were assisted by a snoring artist. The eﬂ'ect was deeply impressive to both audience and singers. April ‘13—We appeared at our best when we reached Fossmn. the home town of Miss Mortensen. Great care was taken to please everybody. There- fore, we betook ourselves to all the stores of the village. Pearl made par- ticular friends with the shoe—man, but most of us, feeling that we couldn't (Continued on page a) AUGSBURG SEMINARY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1929 A Milestone Passed Last Tuesday the ﬁrst Dial made its bow to Augsburg students and alumni, and to the State high schools. The Dl'al’s appearance was the realiution of a wish that has lain dormant in the minds of literary society members ever since the Echo was changed int/o a news» paper. The ﬁrst publication is now a part of Augsburg’s history. But the challenge presents itself to every college student—to improve, as time passes, the quality of writ» ing, and help lower the subscrip» tion rate by increasing the circula- tion. ——The Dial Staff. Augsburg Observes Annual Mission Day Missionary Pederson Ad- dresses Students Rev. M. A. Pederson delivered the message at the Mission Day Services held on Thursday, April 18, basing his sermon on Heb. 11:1-10. Augsburg students have always been interested in the cause of missions and it has be- come a custom to set aside a Mission Day each year in order to take up an oﬁering and have a share in this great work. Rev. Pederson said that many peo- ple are looking for great things in our day, but that they are looking for them through the dollar. A smaller number has the vision that Abraham had when “he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God." He de- clared that we must have our eyes opened by God in order to have a heavenly vision. Millions have not heard the gospel because people have waxed cold and their Visions have be- come dimmed. Though conditions are not as bright as they might be, Rev. Peder-son said, “It is impossible to be a Christian and at the same time be a pessimist." The Gospel has the same power today as formerly; the trouble lies with the people. Revivals are needed. Throughout his speech, Rev. Peder- son urged more missionary zeal and that greater efforts be put forth to further the cause of foreign missions. The oﬁering taken up by the stu- dent body and the faculty amounted to $114.50. East Hallers Succumb To Picnic Mania It was not a battle against the ele- ments, but merely a short colloquy with nature that took place last Mon- day night. And this is what har- pencd: About 5:30 from out of one of the dormitories comes a group of boisterous. expectant people—heavily laden with impediments. Each car- rieS part of the apparatus ordinarily used for such occasions, ranging from edibles to a coﬂ‘ee pot and a pan in which to fry eggs. Under this heavy load they trudge merrily to the banks of the Mississippi. A crackling ﬁre soon blazes on the grate. Amid the laughter is heard the sizzling of the eggs and the humming of the coffee pot. But—suddenly this merriment is brought to a standstill. The cups have been forgotten! Rather than to draw straws, the upper class- men hit upon the happy plan of send- ing two timid, unresisting freshmen for the missing cups. In due time the cups arrive. and with them, of course, the two freshmen. Between courses the group is enmrtained in various ways by two young ladies—their spe- cial feature being rolling down bill without rolling into the Mississippi. But Father Time was determined to bring also this evening to a close: so East Hall had its ﬁrst picnic this spring on April 22. ‘Nordhorg Takes Fouth Place In Winona contest McElmeel Of St. Thomas Will Represent State Augsburg’s ﬁrst representative in the National Intercollegiate Oratori- ca] Contests, John Nordberg, who won the right to participate in the state contest last week, succeeded in cap- turing fourth place in the state conr test held at Winona, April 27, with his oration “Jeﬁerson and the Consti- tution". The winner of ﬁrst place was Eu- gene F. McElmeel of St. Thomas. He will represent Minnesota in the re gional contest to be held soon. His oration was entitled, “The Constitur tion.” Mr. McElmeel was also re- turned winner of the state contest last year, and placed second in the re- gional contest. Dorothy Abts took second honors with “Government and Liberty." She represented St. Teresa College of Winona. Joseph Karesh of the Uni» versity of Minnesota was awarded third place. He gave an oration en- titled ”The Constitution”. Other contenders were Louis Stau- denmaier of Marquette University, and Fred Hughes of St. John‘s Univ versity. Mrs. Arnold'Entertains Senior Co-eds Mrs. Luther Arnold invited the East Hall senior girls and Miss Moi. tenscn “to step into the parlor” of her apartment on Butler Place, Wed. nesday evening, April 17. Senior dignity was discarded and every one joined in the fun of the var- ious contests with the play spirit. The relay races of passing Clothespins and tying neckties aﬁorded much excite- merit. Each one had a turn at drop- ping clothes-pins into a bottle. This proved to be amusement at the city pense of ii few. in order to prove how observant they are, each one named advertisements which had been pinned about the room. The winner from each contest was given a bottle of grape juice, to empty which she must resort to ii habit of her younger days. It was discovered that Esther had the most vivid memory and she was pre- sented with the prize of the evening Arm a delicious lunch served by the hostess, the- guests departed.

Ten schools were represented in the contest, which was conducted under the auspices of the Norwegian Society of America. Mr. O. P. B. Jacobson, president of the society, had charge of the pro- gram. Rachel Stendal, a student of the Lutheran Bible School at Grand Forks, won the gold medal. She gave “Toldinspektarens Knepkager" by Dikken Zwilgmeyer.

'Glee Club Sings Last Concert At Richﬁeld On Friday, April is, the Augsburg College Glee Club appeared, in whai will probably be the last concert of the 1928423 organization, at the new Richﬁeld Roosevelt School Auditorium. This concert which was sponsored by 'the Ladies' Aid of Richfield Lutheran Church drew a fairvsized audience. The regular concert program was given with Kristofer Hagen. pianist, and Christ Olson, baritone, as solo artists. The Glee Club included in its program i group or secular numbers which drew generous applause. Mm the concert the boys were pleasantly entertained at the home of Oliver Saudi-son, who is a member of the second bani section of the club. Augsburg llrchosrra Returns From Successful Tour “Dr.” Quam Proves Most Faithful Pilot The Augsburg College (‘imcert Ola chem-ii tore lnnse from its moorings at Minneapolis, on the min of April. at high noon. Emma Gaal'ili- was in charge of the ﬂeet, and a worthy com- mander she proved to be. The ﬂeet under her command consisted of one speed dreallnaught maneuvered by Captain Dahlen, thrce cruisers run by Captains Hagen, llegg, and Qualn, and a tender manipulated by Captain Fairness. The ﬁrst orderito keep together— was voluntarily broken by Captain Dr. Quam on Lake Street and‘ Hennc- pin Avenue. He soon rectiﬁed his er- rol‘, but the spirit of freedom was surging strongly in his breast for some time, so after he had driven some twenty-eight miles his sense of direc» tions gave way, and together with some unrevealed attraction at the home port, the ship under his com» mand drifted ten miles closer to Min- neapolis. Had it not been for Cap- tain Hegg who had also drifted off the course, but who found his direc- tions, Quam would surely have been lost. The rest of the ﬂeet continued on to Madelia. LIFE-BELT ORDERED At Madelia the tourists repaired to the Lutheran Free Church for a de- licious banquet served by the young people of that port. The entertain» nlcnt furnished by them was very dc- lightful, both in the church and at the homes.

We have greatly anticipated this initial issue of “The Dial", and now that it is with us, our expectations have been more than fulﬁlled. We feel that it compares very favorably with other col- lege magazines. The staﬁ" is to be commended for its work. Due credit should also be given to the other supporters of “The Dial", its subscribers, and especially those who contributed articles. Because this work has now been accomplished, it does not fol- low that we can sit back and “take it easy". This should serve as an inspiration and an incentive for further accomplishment. We must boost “The Dial", get more subscribers for it, and make it the medium for greater progress. Preparation “Nothing succeeds like success,” is a belief entertained espe- cially by those who are not successful. Prof. Hendrickson showed in a recent chapel talk that great men are not great because of happy accidents. Their greatness is built upon a stronger foundation than more chance. They suc- ceeded because they prepared and then let God have a share in helping them. At this time of the year there is a class of students at Augs— burg. and at other colleges, who are, or are not reaping the fruits of preparation in the acquisition, or failure to acquire positions as instructors for the next school year. Educators say, and we agree, that school is more than a pre- paration for 1ife——it is life. But preparation is playing a large part in deciding whether or not these seniors will be placed. That brings us right back to the muchrmooted question of curricular and extra curricular activities. The grades of the applicant still play a major part in securing a recommendation. But it is also true that nowadays it is almost—not absolutely—necessary that the prospective high-school instructor be well grounded in the fundamentals of some extra-curricular activity. In a small school is this especially true. Often times the successful candidate for a position will be requested to lead several “outside” activities. This is a matter with which every prospective teacher should be concerned. And the time to begin preparing in this line is during the freshman and sophomore years at college. We do not recommend a multiplicity of interests. Specialization is still the watchword. Pick your activity and enter it heart and soul. Then you will already have gone a long ways in removing the “Will I get a job ?" specter that haunts so many unprepared seniors. . t t We may cite Prof. Hendrickson‘s inspiring chapel talks as examples of the fruits of preparation. We feel that this well planned series of discourses on prayer has gone a long way to- ivards solving that ever present problem of chapel attendance. t a a It would appear, according to the following excerpt, that Mr. G.. 8. Shaw is preparing the public for something. His state- ments, however. do not raise him one whit in our estimation. “George Bernard Shaw, who has been swimming With Gene Tunney, gets some more free publicity in this country by announcing that Americans are reverting to :‘Indian savagery". He bases his assertion on the observation that Americans seen in London walk ‘pigeon-toed, like Indians on the warpath.’ Very few. however, have gone back to wearing Santa Claus whiskers, a custom that may not be a reversion to savagery, but must be very ticklish. This latest revelation doubtless heralds a newh baktolr “play by Ml: never been ueamis a u n ma money. Shaw, Who has sq —Mi'aaeopolis Star. Chapel Notes April 16. Basing his words on Acts 20:1-12, Prof. I... Lillehei pre- sented a mes-Inge of warning concern- ing the possibility both of lp'irltull sleep and death. He drew the analogy that even as Eutychus fell asleep un- der the preaching of St. Paul and in that condition fell down and died, so it is possible for Christians both to fall asleep and die in a spiritual sense. However. even such a one can again be brought to life. 0 April 17. Rev. Gilbert Alniquist of Pukwana, S. Dak., spoke of his spiri- tual problems and struggles while a student at Augsburg. He further testiﬁed of the joy that has been his ever since that time in the Gospel ministry. He closed with a personal appeal to the students to yield both their hearts and lives to Christ. April 20. Prof. 0. Herzog based his talk on I Cor. 15:50-58 and I Cor. 16: 13, emphasizing the fact that an im- mortal and incoruptible life with God in eternity must get its beginning here on earth. A Christian’s life is a life within a life that leads him to a high- er levelAa preparation for eternity. Therefore, it is necessary to heed Paul’s admonition, “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." - April 22. Prof. Lundeen drew from Zech. 13:9 and Mal. 3:3, the lesson that college students are not to ex- pect an easy life after graduation, but that God will reﬁne them in the fur- nace of difﬁculties and labor. In bear- ing the cross of Christ, one will ﬁnd the true meaning of life. e April 23. Mr. Jack Sitenhof pre- sented his oration, “The Mystery of Israel", which took ﬁrst place in ora- tory in the Twin City Academic League, April 10. In his oration he very vividly depicted the persecution and the undying perseverance of the Jews, and how they had been led by the hand of God through their many aﬁlictions. His oration was a strong plea for a more brotherly and friend» ly relationship toward the Jew. e April 25. Taking John 20:24-29 as his text, Dr. Ermisch pointed out that the fact that Thomas, the doubter and investigator, was convinced of Christ's resurrection, is added proof that Jesus arose from the dead. Those who may doubt the resurrection of Christ should consider the testimony of Thomas. One must not only lean on authority, but also on evidence and experience. r April 28. Prof. P. A. Sveeggen based his message on John 16. He em- phasized the important part that the Holy Spirit should play in a person’s life. He said that people are not enough concerned with what the Holy Spirit has to say and that continued neglect of the spirit will deaden its voice. Such neglect is a grievous sin. Christ sent the Holy Spirit to com- fort his disciples and those who would believe on Him. Furthermore. it helps one to see his own sins, it reveals the Saviour, and it reveals that Christ saves people for a purpose. Heed the Holy Spirit—receive the Comforter. April 29. Prof. Hendrickson very vividly pictured the seemingly insur- mountable adversity that befell Mesa in the desert, as it is recorded in Numbers 11:10-17. He said that Mo— ses, like most great men. became great because he was able to withstand great adversities. When Israel be came dissatisﬁed with the man: and the life in the desert. Moses felt that his burden as a leader was too heavy to bear. He realized his failure and cried to God for help. He had the right relationship toward God because he felt that he needed Him. God can not use anyone who doe not feel that he needs Him. His spirit gives unlimited power and it is Ibmlutiely w in a life dedi— cated tn God. ® ACADEMY e Valborg Sverdrup Who is well worthy of the coveted honor of being Valedictorian, for she has reached the highest place in scholastic standing: Who has many extra curricular in- terest; Who has done ﬁne work in debate and declamatory; Who was secretary for the Au» demy in 1927 and treasurer in 1928; Who was one of the editors for tht 1928 Augsburgian; Who is a reporter for the Augsburg Echo; Who has done ﬁne work as soloist with the Academy Chorus; Who has shown and demonstrated an intense interest in carrying for» ward the high ideals of Augsburg Academy ; Who has, thru her personal charm and sunny disposition, won the friend- ship of all her fellow students; Who reﬂects by her entire record the progressive and pioneering spirit of young Augsburg. Academites are very sorry to hear that Mr. George Soberg. instructor in mathematics and English, is con- ﬁned to his bed with scarlet fever. Reports are very favorable, and indi- cations are that he will soon he with his pupils again. Editorial Of late years the Academy has been content to participate in only one sport. basketball, in competition with other schools of the “in City Aca- demic League. This year it will also have a baseball team. The Twin City Academic Baseball League will this year have tenni- re~ presenting Concordia, Bethel. Minne— haha, St. Paul Luther, and Augsburg Academics, and Minnesota College. Games are scheduled for this week, so that boys are practicing hard. Let is get behind our team. academites. ind chcer them as well as we did our )asketball team. Academy Conducts Services At Trinity Last Sunday evening Augsburg Academy conducted services at Trini- ty Church. The speakers were Chel- tei- Sorkness. John Knale. and Jack Sitenhof. Mr. Sorkness, the ﬁrst speaker, showed how we become dis- contented with our life in God's tender care and go to seek the pleasures of the world. The second speaker pic- tured the degredation of sin and showed that the need of Christ is as great in the higher circles of society as in the lower. Mr. Sitenhof ended up by comparing life in sin with the glory of life with Jesus. Each speak- er offered his own personal testimony. The Academy Chorus sang three ‘appropriate numbers. Miss Valborg Sverdrup also sang a solo. Pi Alpha Theta The Pi Alpha Literary Society held its regular meeting at East Hall on April the 18th. In accordance with its program for the year, the group discussed short-stories. Rose Haifey gave an interesting synopsis of “The Victim" by May Cinclair and Malvin Rossing analyzed brieﬂy Ruth Sucow‘s “The Four Generations". The latter story shows that Miss Sucow has some descriptive ability, but not much ability in plot construction. I-Ier stories do not contain all the elements necessary in shortrstories. “The Vic- tim" is a more complete story, but is still not of the best. Gorgeous Tanglegrams For four years I have been a mem- ber of one of the largest and best- known male choruses in the college department at Augsburg. During these years I have attained a high de- gree of eminence in the vocal arts. In fact Opseth has said, “Never again will I have such a base singer.” Small wonder that I should be asked to per- form at the Nore declamation contest. I very kindly condescended to seize this opportunity. Never shall I regret it. When the show was over an old man shook my hand with tears and said, “You belong with the immor» tals.” e Never marry a woman who can’t cook, because you will inevitably get the raw end of the deal. a George (Pighide) Tangvald attri- butes his prowress in football to his daily consumption of Lucky Strikes. Although he has had a good oﬂ'er from Copenhagen ‘Snus' Co. He has oromised to make at least one tackle for the cigarette industry. Be patient Copenhagen: Rome was not built in one day. s (Editor’s note: Besides being a veritable rock of offense on coach Ecldund's team, “Pighide” is also a clean sportsman. In fact "Con" has said that be is a perfect washout) a Rev. T. D. B.——(to conﬁrmation slag): “What is the diﬂerEnce be- tween man and animals?" Nobody knew. “'Well what is the diﬁe'rence be- tween rue and a monkey?" 69/100: and Wodehou- November, 1921 Prof. Julius Olson. of the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, gave a lecture on “Literature in Education” at the as- sembly, Nov. 5. The days from Nov. 11 to 13 are days which will not soon be forgotten by either the students of Augsburg or by the many people who attended the Convention at the Lutheran Trini- ty Church. The Young People's So‘ cieties from nearly all the churches represented in the Young People’s Federation had sent delegates to the convention. We believe those who came to the convention went back with more strength, enthusiasm and wil- lingness to work for God toward the winning of “The Young People for Christ and His Church." At the business session Rev. Clar- ence J. Carlsen was elected president, Prof. M. C. Dixen was elected vice- president. Miss Lydia Brudie, secre- tary, and Miss Valborg Nydahl, treas- urer. o A festival was held in the Seminary Chapel Oct. 20 in honor of some of our missionaries. Prof. Blegen open- ed with prayer and afterwards Prof. Sverdrup extended a hearty welcome to Rev. Ralph Mortensen and family, who him just returned from China and expressed our Wishes of God's blessing and Godspeed to Rev. Sather and wife who were about to leave for China. In the response given by Rev. Mor- tensen we were urged to be true to self as before God. Rev. Sather closed with prayer. Music was furnished by the Gospel Team. a The Gym warn has begun its work under the direction of C. Iverson. Christ expects to enter his team at the Gym meet held at the University of Minnesota in the spring. Behind closed doors the basketball tmni is practising faithfully. Prof. Melby evidently has a surprise in store for us. He seems to be well sa- tisﬁed with the material—Although as yet the “Cage Artists" have not re- sponded as readily to the S. 0. S.

With a \‘ctt-run team back in the fold St. Olaf looms up as an outstandr iug contender for state honors this spring Gustavus has a wealth of new mutcriul and a nucleus of lettervnien. St. Thomas is a doubtful factor, as is St. Johns. Augsburg is missing sevr t-ral old focus. notably Louis Hanson nild Harold Anson. but has added some new players, too. Thats the lay- out. Mr. Baseball Fan. take your pick! - “Cherry” Madsen has been smitten with the horeshoe mania. His cure was regarded as a possibility, but news of the proposed “barnyard golf” tournament Scnt the patient into a re- lapse.

Proposed feature match for the horse shoe tournament: “Speed” Lille- hei rs “Butch” Johnson. . All joking aside, we wonder how Captain Tjon looks out there in North Dakota sitting on his John Deere tractor reading Peder Victori- ous as he goes up and down the ﬁeld while overhead ﬂoats that Augsburg banner. (Note. A few of the boys presented the gym team captain with I copy of “Peder Victon'ous” and an Augsburg banner before he left] e Many Veterans 7 7 Report For Baseball New Material Looks Promising The Augsburg baseball camp is not exactly shrouded in gloom these days. Twenty-ﬁve men have responded to their new coache's call among whom are listed practically the entire line- up of last year's regulars. several of the 1927 team, and a number of new men. Harold Aasen, backbone of Guzy’s mound staff last spring, is missing. 30 is his battery mate, Louis Hanson Adolph Winther, veteran of the ’2? team, has been getting the call for ﬁrst string backstop over “Rube” Johnson in practices thus far. “Si” Daniclson has also had some exper- ience behind the plate and is available for duty. MANLEY Looxs Goon Arthur Houser and Otto Rortvcdt remain from last year's hurling corps. Both are also capable ﬁrst-sacked. Of the new pitchers, Victor Manley of last year's University of Illinois' frosh team, looks best. He tartcd working out regularly indoors over a month ago and already appears in midrscason form. Captain Walter Johnson at third, Mona at second, and either “Shorty” or “Dooley” at first are all veterans. Thies of the fresh and Engbrctson. a veteran, will ﬁght it out for the short stop berth. Crosc’s infield should be a fast one, and early season workouts tend to lleal‘ out that statement. Bestul, Philstrom. Madsen, Kolesnl', and Anderson are veteran ﬂy-chascrs who will furnish plenty of conipcti» tion for the outﬁeld berths. Then there is “Haul” Blix, George Selc, Eldevik. Decker, Olson, Norum, McReynolds. and “Art” Amundsen. freshman pitcher. Twenty Gridders Re- spond To Spring Call Skurdalsvold and Pederson Direct Men Twenty ambitious aspirants for Coach Con Ecklund's football machine answered the ﬁrst call for spring foot- ball last week. The work-outs are under the leadership of :aptain-elect Pederson and athletic director, “Mugs” Skurdalsvold. The first workouts have consisted almost entirely of settingrup exercises and rudimentary football, but have been provocative of a large number of “charle,\'»horses" and stiff backs. A number of last year’s football men have been appearing regularly but theru is a great deal of satisfac- tion in noting the number of new can- didates.

The season of poe- try is come! The trees are leaving and life is revealing itself in nature. The trees ure leaving and the birds are singing. This is the season of the year when fat men with grey check- ered trousers begin to play golf, and lean men with grey checkered trous- ers begin to play golf and long, thin, tall men with grey checkered trous- ers begin to play golfi This is the season of the year when sap starts ﬂowing in the campus trees and saps go ﬂowing through the col- lege park. This is the time in which every would be poet sits on the win- dow sill and tries to ﬁnd a word to rhyme with “dove” and “true.” There is a time for everything— One of these is love. The tune for love is spring, but when you get love it is everything to you, and after that any season of the year is spring. Here I shall take the privilege to mis-quote a line from Tennyson. “In the spring a young mans fancy lightly turns"— from thoughtsibo love. Even great poets have recognized this. There is much philosophic thought vented on love. Much of this is not. gotten from the laboratory of life and is therefore not scientiﬁc. When nature beckons at every hand, then Beauty is queen. Then every young man feels sorry for all the others because they can‘t have his girl. “There are fairer maidens in Scot— land, by far, than any of these” quoth the young Lochinvar. Then why didn't Lochinvar go to Scotland? Be- cause he loved this girl, and perhaps she wasn't so deplete of feminine charm either. We often wonder how some people, rather innocent of beau- ty and to whom nature has been stingy, if not spiteful,—can see so much in each other. Yet these per- sons go to the movies and pat them» selves on the back and think—“I sure- ly was lucky to get my lover before the movies did!" One cynic has said, “Love is like a ad cold; you don’t know what it is until you‘ve had it. you‘re miserable while it lasts, and it is very hard to get rid of." Another Augsburgian has said, “Love is missdirected devotion." But in spite of the cynic the lover goes on. Each succeeding generation of lovers catches the contagion and succumbs (usually, for life.) l. E. “'ILSON L. Wilson-Manson Plumbing [10. PLUMBING and HEATING 2MB RIVERSIDE AVE.

Show more“Esther” Presentation Stirs Large Audience Players Excel] As Charac- ters of Biblical Drama The presentation of Maseﬁeld's play, “Esther”, Friday evening, April 12, at the Monroe gymnasium, brought be- fore the large audience realistic scenes of the mighy rule of King Ahasuerus and Queen Esther. The success of the performance was insured by the excellent dramatic ef- fects brought out by several of the characters. Harold Davis, as the cruel and crafty Haman, was the outstand— ing character. The contempt he bore to the Jews and especially to the good man, Mordecai, shone from under his wicked black brows. and every word he uttered was full of intense hatred. The proud spirit was broken, however, when he saw that he was losing favor with the King. When he tremblingly threw himself at the feet of Queen Esther, begging for mercy, the true nature of his character was revealed, as one who fears as strongly as he hates. Quiet dignity characterized Queen Esther, as played by Rose Haffey. She looked striking in her robe of white, standing with uplifted head, praying God for the salvation of her tribe. The live Jewish maids, kneeling at the left rear of the stage, chanting pray- ers to the same God, completed the impressive scene. True anguish of heart was shown in the character of King Ahasuerus, when he spent a sleepless night, re- viewing his past, doubtful deeds. Eds win Olsen very ably took the part of the king. Marie Halvorson, as Rachel, and Thomas Spande, as Hydaspas, de- serve mention, as taking their parts very well. Cliﬂ'ord Sather did equally well in his role as Mordecai. Other characters in the cast were: Asaph .... .. .. Walter Evans Zeresh Elsie Lokken Ghost Harold Davis Guards .Adolph Winther Harold Farnes Chorus . .. Katharine Sverdrup Oletta Wald Helen Wallin Myrtle Juberg Helen Michaelsen. The selections rendered by the or- chestra, under the direction of Miss Gasrde, added to the success of the play. The members of the four literary societies, who sponsored the presenta- tion, wish to thank Miss Selma Storien for her successful work as director, and also Miss Jennie Skurdalsvold for composing the music for the choruses. AthletichjnqueI Held At Columbia Chateau (Continued from page 1) President Sverdrup gave a talk in which he showed what “Si” has meant to Augsburg and its athletes. Another musical number by the quartette, a solo by Miss Skurdals- vold, and a piano solo by Katharine Sverdrup were other numbers that ad- ded to the success of the program. The special feature of the even- ing’s entertainment was the radio pro- gram given after the banquet. Elsie Lokken and Arthur Grimstad demon- strated their ability at the dials by “tuning in" on many famous artists. A quartette from the Willmar station was heard, followed by a comet solo. and a number of piano duets. Beat- rice Helland was heard in a reading, “Bobby Shaftoe", an dthe two Knutes demonstrated their ease at using lengthy words. George Tangvald, Augsburg's star orator, spoke elo- quently on “Farm Relief”. At 10:20 announcer “Butch” Johnson signed oﬁ until the year 1930. Miss Caspar:Christensen of Will» mm- was a weekend visitor with Ma- rie Johnson. The Augsburg Orchestra gave a con- cert last Sunday afternoon It Central Lutheran Church. o Miss Mortensen entertained at a 6 o’clock dinner on Tuesday evening at East Hall. s We wonder if the happy spirit pre- vailing among the campus CHdS is due tn the fact that rules have been slightly changed? They can now be out until 9 o'clock. Kristofer Hagen Elect- ed Senior Class Speaker The Senior class of ’29 has chosen Kristofer Hagen for their class speaker at the Commencement exer» cises to be held June 5. His experience as a public speaker led the class to believe that he would be able to promulgate the ideals of the class efﬁciently. He has taken active part in debate during the whole of his college career, and twice participated in the College Oratorical Contest. Last summer he spent the greater part of his time touring the country as a member of the Gospel Quartette. Here, too, he had ample opportunity to cultivate the art of speaking. The “Dial” —A. F. Along with the spring fever that most of us are enjoying there is also another fever, or, perhaps, rather an intense impatience to see the “Dial” of which we have all heard so much. “When’s it coming?” we question. Well, yesterday I met somebody down the Auggie hall who seemed to know a triﬂe more about it than anyone else. He told me a great deal about what the “Dial” will contain and also just when it 'will make its triumphal entry. I thought this news was far too good to keep, so I have persuaded the editor of the “Echo” to slip in this little article about it in order that your suspense might be somewhat al~ leviated. Yes, even before you read another issue of the “Echo”, the “Dial” shall have echoed and reechoed through the minds of the Auggies, for it will be here on April thirtieth. The “Dial” will contain some ex- cellent literature including short stories, essays, and poetry. All of us who are lovers of poetry will receive a particular beneﬁt, for some excellent selections of poetry have been sent in. One especially is a gem, a very timely and interesting poem written by Mr. J. J. Skurdals» vold from the class of 18 . In anti— cipation we appreciate this fact imr mensely and will do so even more when we are actually permitted to read their words. But not only from the experienced pen of an alumnus has there come articles for the “Dial”. Also from those younger in years and in ex- perience, yet bubbling over with the enthusiasm of living, from our own Auggies—there will be selections very worthwhile and interesting. We have all heard about the State- wide essay contest staged by one of the Augsburg literary societies. The prize-winning essay of this contest will also be included, so we shall be given a taste of the best writing of the State High Schools of Minnesota Only—more days and the “Dial” will be here! Let‘s speed over that time by reminding any who have not as yet heeded the call of the “Dial”, and by arousing their enthusiasm and interest in a production so worthwhile their support as is the Dial.

We hope that Miss Anderson’s brief stay at Augsburg has been as pleasant for her as it has been for us. As the proceession wends onward, we see next in line Mr. and Mrs. Ar- nold. We shall remember Luther and Clarette as the ﬁrst married couple at Augsburg. They have both spent four years with us; so we all join to wish them great happiness throughout life. Lewis Berge comes nextidriving his Ford. 01' course we all know Lewis. We’ll remember his smile and cheery wordsiamong other things. The class of ‘29 is not satisﬁed in drawing members from the immediate Vicinity. Sylvan Bestul hails from the distant state of Washington. If all the young men in Washington are of Syl’s caliber, We wish that more would come to Augsburg. Almost hidden by an armful of books comes the next “candidatus”, Jessie Christensen, whom we all re- cognize as a student. Now, don’t think that Jessie limits herself to stu- dies alone. She is also very promin- ent in extracurricular activities about the campus. Well, here we have the most hon. orable president of the W. A. A., Glendora Dueland. Thoughts of “Dooley” will invariably bring memo- ries of basketball, volleyball, tennis, and other sportsialso tabogganing. Immediately behind “Dooley” comes Agnes Eldevik. Agnes is quiet and “and, by acting true to her nature. she has Won the well deserved respect and love of all her fellowstudents. Emil Ellingson doesn’t say much, but then "still waters run deep." We know that when Emil does say some- thinggwhy, it"s time for us to stop and listen. Anyway, you can’t bluii him with any Math problems. T. V.

He expressed regret mingled with a certain amount of relief with the re- moval of his duties as coach. He said that it was not because he had not enjoyed coaching, but because of the great burden of coaching and teach- ing, combined with numerous other duties that he felt it necessary to give up his position. In reviewing Augsburg’s athletic history. Mr. Melby commented on the excessive handicaps with which the coaches had to contend. such as the lack of equipment, the adverse critic- ism, and the small number of athletic- ally inclined men at Augsburg, “The Auggies at ﬁrst had been the laugh- ing stock of the conference and were used by other teams to fatten their batting average," he said, “but they surprised everyone by their determin- ation and ﬁght.~—two elements that are absolutely essential to any athletic organization to insure its success." In stepping out of the coaching po- sition, Mr. Melby expressed sadness because of the inevitable failures that have arisen, The Auggies, though, AUGSBURG SEMINARY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN THURSDA Top row: AUGSBURG CHORAL SOCIETY; _ _Elsie Lokken, Barbara Stowell, Alice lllcllnye. clai-a Bl-rkke, Miriam Berg.

Mr. Melby expressed his gratitude to all those who have so faithfully assisted him as a coach. Prof. Sverr drup has been especially tolerant and helpful in establishing athletics on a sound basis. Mr. Melby praised the student body and the various teams for their unfailing support In closing he wished his successor, "choppy" Crose, whom he termed as the “brainlest player 1 have ever seen on a basketball floor," all kinds of good fortune, and urged that the var- ious teams give him unfailing sup- port, Mr. Melby's “coach-player," John Kolesar, was praised in com- menting on his fortune in obtaining brainy men for his teams. His appreciation was expressed to the general public, too, for their ﬁne support, His last wish was that Augsburg might ﬁnally be placed on a high pedestal of ﬁne sportsmanship, high ideals, and good morals, and that it would be among the leaders in every field of endeavor, Sociology Class To Conduct Survey The Sociology class under the direc- tion of Professor Walter Lundeen has undertaken a practical project by con- ducting an intensive survey of the col. lege students at Augsburg College. This survey will show a cross seer tion of the student life and it will re- veal what the student opinion is at this institution. Other colleges are conducting such surveys and in that way comparisons may be made. Much has been said about the opinions that college students have, but this will give actual facts bearing on the sub ject. The reports that the students are asked to ﬁll out must give accurntc in- formation and be honest in every re~ spect if the survey is to be of value. The reports will be kept absolutely conﬁdential as far as the individual student is concerned and everyone should be willing to make this survey a success. The class expects to com- plete the project in about two weeks. A song by the men‘s quartette opened the program Toasts by Wal- ter Johnson, "Dooley" Houser, Here man Tjon, and James Pederson fol- lowed. Walter Johnson is the base- ball captain for this year, while "Jim- mie" has been elected as captain of next year’s football squad. The Aca- demy athletes were represented by Al- bert Knutsen. These toasts were folr lowed by short talks by the coaches, r. William Leuhring, director of Athletics at the University of Minne- sota, gave the address of the evening. He talked about sportsmanship in in ter-collegiate athletics. He com- mented upon the ﬁne showing Augs- burg athletes have made during their brief career in the conference. (Continiicd ml pope 3) Champion Sophomores Receive Silver Trophy A silver loving cup, emblematic of the 1928 intro-mural basketball cham- pionship was presented to the sopho- more class at the conclusion of the gym exhibition held April 3 in the Augsburg gymnasium. Professor S. Melby presented the cup and spoke of the growing import- ance and value of intramural sports. The cup, donated by the college clas» ses, was accepted by captain Erling Christenren, who expressed for the sophomores their satisfaction at win» ning the championship and their in- tention to put up a hard right to re. tain the honor next year. The so. phomore team this year was coached by Otto Rortvedt. The players were Christensen, Batalden, Sele, and Har- bo, forwards; Anderson, center; Knut- sen, Dahlager, Dnnielson, and Sather, guards, A. E, Myhre conducted services at Wallace, 5.

We are for- tunate in having a system of education which encourages indivi- dual activity. Besides this, we also have extra-curricular actIVl- ties which give each student the opportunity of developing his individual interests and talents. We should all take a vital part in some activity, but we must also exercise restraint in not joining too many of them. If this cannot be left to the student’s discretion, the restraint will have to be enforced through some other means. We believe that the point system of limiting activities would be a satisfactory and efficient scheme of carrying this out. Having too many activities works hardships in many direc- tions. Very often we have to sacriﬁce our studies if we are to be faithful members; and members who are not loyal are liabili- ties rather than assets. Then, too, by limiting the number of activities of each individual, more students would be given the opportunity of taking part and also assuming positions of leader- ship. Too much activity is destructive, likewise, too much leisure is a deadening inﬂuence upon creative thought. Activity must be purposive and sustained. Therefore, to make a success of our college education, we must establish a wise balance between activ- ity and restraint. Sophistication As in the scientiﬁc ﬁeld we ﬁnd many pseudo~scientists, so in colleges and universities we meet large numbers of sophisticated know-nothings, who have but sipped a few drops of the “Pierian spring“. They are known by their wind-inﬂated chests, their boldness, their sage but condescending counsel, their deprecating remarks concerning professors they scarcely know, their revolt against all precedent, and their understanding of all vital, difﬁcult problems. Yes, they have already attained to their tremendously elevated ideal of making all knowledge theirs; and yet these same individuals are so young—they must be geniuses! Out of the rich, savoury ﬁeld of almost unbounded dimensions it is simple enough to pick a specimen. An editorial—writer of one of our eastern Lutheran college papers believes that chapel hour should be used for students‘ consideration of school prob- lems and for social culture. It should not be used for inspira- tional purposes; no, for that would be about as ridiculous in our days as trying to make the world stand still, so he says. Then, for everyone's especial ediﬁcation, comes this gem of philosophy as a punctuation: “Let ‘well enough’ be!" But we would add a roundingout statement: “Eat, drink, and be merry!" and live but to exist, for from these proceed genuine happiness. Isn't is puzzling that people should be so dull as to fail, under- standing that the more knowledge they absorb. the more inﬁnite the amount to be absorbed becomes? The experiencing of this truth, it seems, should teach them humility to the inﬁnite, omni- potent, and all-knowing force which is everywhere present. A person would think that they might desire daily communion with, and inspiration from, such a Source. Chapel Notes April ll. Rev. Karl Ermisch em~ phasixed the importance of the resur» rection of Christ. basing his talk on John 14:19, where Christ says “be- cause I live, ye shall live also." The enemies of Christ attack His resurrection because they know that it is vital and necessary to the saving power of Jesus. Only the living Christ can satisfy the restlessness and the longing in the human heart. The work of a Christian is not a drugery or a slavery. but it is a joy- ful and happy service to God. s his disciples after his resurrection as it is recorded in John 21:1»14. He showed how the disciples were unsuc- cessful when they sought to go their own way and go back to their former occupations Jesus appeared unto them time and time again in order to strengthen them and direct them in the work that he had outlined for them to do. Jesus is the same today. He is con- tinually calling and pressing in upon one's consciousness. Heed his call and do his will. a April 13. Prof. H. N. Hendrickson continued his talks on prayer, taking Exodus 34:43. 29415, as his text. He sid that it was not enough to only April 12. Rev. Selmer I-‘runstad spoke on Christ‘s third appearance to Round Table Analyzes Modem Narrative After having made a study of a few outstanding masterpieces of the short- story, the Round Table, at its last meeting, shifted its endeavors to the more modern narratives. The change was made in order to make possible a complete resume of this ﬁeld of literature by the close of the school year. From its beginning, the year has been given over to the short-story and its technique. The construction of each story assigned for reading has been examined by the members in a discussion. and- an- nalyzed according to the fundamentals and rules set forth in Poe’s “Philo- sophy of (‘ ' ' ," “Mr. Travers’a First Hunt", by Richard Harding Davis, was the ﬁrst of the modern stories to be analyzed. It was singled out merely as a type, and not because of merit. In accordance with the rules of Poe. the ﬁrst sentence strikes the key» note of the story by introducing the preconceived effect. “Young Travers, who had been engaged to a girl down on Long Island for the last three months, only met her father and brother a few weeks before the day set for the wedding." This initial does not only reveal the emo- tional tone, but also sugests that plot is the predominant element of the nar- rative. The author’s main purpose in writ- ing was to tell a good story. His or- iginal intention was to develop a slightly humorous plot through the be» havior of one main character. The theme or moral plays a subordinate part in the story, and is hinged upon the outcome of the plot. It may be summed up in these words, courage has its reward. The narrative tells of a young man who, not knowing how to ride, risks his life on a ﬁery steed to please his sweetheart's father and gain his con— sent to marry the girl. After the youth has accomplished his task to the satisfaction of the father the story logically closes with the youth receiv- ing permission to marry the girl he loves. The preestablished design has been developed with the greatest economy of means. Only three characters are used in developing the plot which is also made up of three closely con— nected incidents. There are no digres— sions, every Word has a part in bring- ing out the intended eﬁect. The time element is limited to a single day, while the setting is as narrowed as effect will allow. dire/large: “The Mmlitoll Messenger” Fourteen members were elected to the Pi Kappa Delta national debating fraternity. The coach, Harry L. Pear- son, earned a key in the degree of in- struction. Dr. Martin Hegland, head of the res ligion department, has put out a manual as to how to organize and conduct institutes in Young People‘s Work. It “The Gushwl'un Weekly" A local chapter of the Pi Gamma Mu, honorary social science society, was organized. There are twenty- four charter members. At the meet- ings of this society scientiﬁc problems will be discussed. This is certainly a worthwhile achievement to the social science students. “College Chips" Upton Close, recognized authority on Chinese affairs and well known lyceum lecturer, spoke in the C. K. Preus gymnasium. Mr. Close has spent ten years in Russia and China. While in China he edited the Peking "Daily". He has written several books on conditions in the East. experience God’s saving power if one desired to live a successful Christian life. He stressed the importance of ssnctiﬁcan’on—a process whereby one may be transformed into the likeness of Christ. The Christians’ chief weakness is due to a lack of prayer. Prayer is uecegary to sanctiﬁcaﬁon and it is one of the best ways by which one may be strengthened in the Christian faith. ® ACADEMY s Editorial Wehavebeentryingallyearto bring home some sort of a champion- ship or trophy. We tried basketball, declaratory, and debate before we ﬁnally succeeded in winning ﬁrst place in oratory. We have been successful even if we haven't always come out on top. Our teams and representatives in these contests have had that “never say die" spirit which is always re- warded. We are deeply indebted to our winner for bringing Augsburg Academy the coveted “ﬁrst place." However, the school yur is not over yet. Let us see what we can do to bring some more honors to our do» partment. Baseball’would be a pretty good beginning. How about it, Aca- demites'! C. E. Civics Students Hold Mock Trial It was in a dark and dusty court room. A breach of promise suit was in progress. Ah, what sickening scan~ do] was revealed. The plaintiff was suing for ten-thousand dollars as balm for her broken heart. As she told her heart-rending tale, even some of the most austere of the jury could not refrain from wiping away a few sympathetic tears. The court was shocked to heart that the defendant had been seen riding down La Palina Ave., St. Paul, late one evening in the company of a strange girl. It was equally shocking to hear that the plaintiff had shown a great deal of interest in a certain young man at a particular Christmas party. What should be done? The jury left the court-room in mystery and silence as they adjourned to decide the verdict. or death? To himiwould it mean wealth or bankruptcy? The jury re- turned with the verdict of acquittal with the defendant paying the court expenses. Sighs of relief were heard as the Academy civics class was ex» cused after listening to a suit in which Gladys Oudal charged Julian Foss with breach of promise. Mlt kJaere hJem Jeg folder ut min vinge i kveldens stille stund, og ﬂyver over bolge til Norges skjaer og sund. Med freidig mot jeg straver til like for mig hen beskjeden frem den stiger, Augsburg Wins Oratorical Contest The Academy has made a name for itself along another line of scholastic activities, namely, oratory. Last Wednesday night Jack Sitco- hof and John Kalle went over to Be- thel Academy to compete in the An- nual Oratorical Contest held between the four Academies: Minnehaha, Min- nesota College, Bethel, and Augsburg Academy. The program, opened with song and prayer, was both interesting and bene- ﬁcial, for the topics discussed ranged all the way from “Married Women in Industry," to “Crime”. 0n the merits of his excellent presentation of "The Mystery of Israel," Mr. Jack Siten- hof claimed the silver trophy cup for Augsburg. In his oration he pictured vividly the undying perserverance o! the Jew and pointed out how the hand of God had led them through untold suﬁeringa and persecution. He end~ ed with an earnest plea for brotherly love and friendly relationship toward the Jew John Kalle also did fine work in delivering his oration entitled “The Quest for Peace.” Both contestants have spent much time and thought in the preparation of their oration: and deserve much credit for their willing- ness to take upon themselves this ex- tra work. Debaters Defeat St. Paul Central High Another wordy battle was staged in the Auditorium of Central High School, April 10, 1929. The large audience showed their appreciation by their attention and applause.

In giving the decision to the Augsburg team, he showed that they had band- led the question in a more skillful manner. The negative side of the question was upheld by Valborg Sver- drup. Chester Sorkneas, and Jack Sitenhof. This closes a very success» ful debate season for the Academy. 60/109: and Waco/mes From Minneapolis Journal, 1904: “Professor Sven Oftedal was kid- napped early last evening by a small party of students of Augsburg Sem- min egen kjaere grund.

Professor Severson was unable to accompany the girls. In spite of that fact, they did their very best and in- deed, made a creditable showing. The debate season for the women is now closed. It is hoped that more girls will come out next year for a Gorgeous Tanglegrams The editor requested me to write an article on “What I have gotten out of college.” This, however, is a very slight subject on which to Write 100 words. The subject should rather have been, "How I have gotten out of college.” During my freshman year I took Board, Room, Chapel, and extra cur» ricular activities such as Chemistry, English and Afternoon-lunch. Due to the fact that my brother matriculat— ed at the beginning of the second quarter, 1 got a slight reduction on tuition. My creed has always been this: Never take more than you pay for. Hence my integrity did not per» mit me to drink too deeply of the fountain of learning. In my sophomore year I took my second course in freshman chemistry. Now my head is full of chemical reac- tion. In fact I have the whole subject in a nutshell. I am able (with the help of a laboratory manual) to write the formula for salt. My ﬁrst period classes have always had a habit of starting before I at» rived. One of the professors told me that the progress of the class was be- ing hindered by my vacancy. There was also another instructor who ap- preciated my presence in his class so much that one day as I arrived late he ceased hostilities to remark, “Ah, we have the late Mr. Tangvald with us today." All the above mentioned achieve- ments will help me to carve my des- tiny. With these weapons I shall be able to withstand the onslaughts of the enemy, unarmed, and I am fully persuaded that I shall meet my Water- loo successfully. I. E. WILSON L.

Another note of advancement in Augsburg’s song of progress will then be sounded. With the second quarter’s exami» nations over, the literary staff is now beginning to sort its material for publication. Because of additional tasks. such as the preparation of term—papers and studying for ﬁnals (Y), some who wished to contribute articles to the “Dial” were unable to present them to the literary staff by March twenty-ﬁrst. Mr. Emil Fos- san, the literary editor, has therefore decided to extend the time limit until school opens again after Easter. handed in will be given preference in the ﬁnal choice of material. Two hundred subscriptions from Augsburg students has become the goal of the business managers. They have already passed the ﬁrst hundred marker, and are making a determined try for the second. The Dial‘s man of ﬁnances, Mr. Adolph Winther, asks that literary society members fulﬁl their pledges as soon as possible. He says, “Every loyal society man and woman should sell an annual subscrip< tion to each of his friends. We can then assure the ﬁnancial success of our ﬁrst two issues.“ In one of the recent staff meetings the size of the magazine, the color of the cover, and the grade of paper to be used was discussed. Nothing was decided deﬁnitely, but ﬁnal considera» tion will be given these matters at one of the ofﬁcial sessions this week. Messrs. Manley Gjerde and Clay- ton Morgan have each planned a cover design. Both designs were attractive, so the staff already knows it is going to have one of the neatest magazines among the Minnesota state colleges. New Examination Sys- tem Tried Last Quarter Elimination 0f Conﬂicts Is Aim Of New Scheme Due to the many conﬂicts which arose in' making out the quarterly exam schedule according to the old system, a new system was tried in last week‘s ﬁnals. Under the new method classes con: tinued during examination week, the instructor in each subject using just as many of the hours as he needs to give the ﬁnal test in his course. If the quality of work done remains as good under the new as the old sys- tem, the new order will no doubt con- tinue. Athletes To Be Honored April 5 Luehring 0f Minnesota University Is Speaker The Annual Athletic Banquet will be held at the Columbia Chateau, April 5. Mr. Luehring. Athletic Director of the University of Minnesota, will be the main speaker of the evening. Toam will be given by the coaches and the captains. Throughout the dinner music will be furnished.

The twenty young women, under the direction of Prof. Henry P. 0p- seth, have arranged a series of twen- ty concerts in congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. Challenged by the success of their rival organization, the girls are meet- ing for strenuous practise daily. Augs- burg has two good singing organiza- tions, and they are out to prove it. Folowing is the tentative itinerary: Brainerd Se Morris Crose Succeeds Melby As Basketball Mentor “Choppy’s” Coaching Fame Spreads Rapidly Lyle, “choppy”, Cross has been se- lected as ex-coach “Si” Melby’s suc- cessor to the position of head basket- ball coach at Augsburg next year. “Choppy” is no doubt one of the youngest coaches in the Minnesota conference. Coach Crose’s rapid rise from a position as high school coach through one year as an assistant to Si Melby to the position of head coach has been a rapid one. He graduated from Augsburg two years ago, carrying with him the honor of being one of the best athletes ever turned out at the Auggie school. He taught and coached one year at Parkers Prairie, Minn, where he was very successful. Last year he was elected assistant to "Con." Ecklund in football and to Mr. Melby in basketball, and head baseball coach. Next year he will be head basketball and baseball coach as well as assistant to Coach “Con.” Eck. loud in football. The Auggies anticipate a successful season for coach Cruse and feel sure that he will be a worthy successor to ex—coach Melby. Glee Club Sings At Central Lutheran As a ﬁtting climax to its Western tour the Men’s Glee Club presean one of the ﬁnest concerts of its car» eer at the Central Lutheran Church Friday, March 15. Elias I-Ialling, an Augsburg alumnus, at present teach- ing in Tracy, Minn., was the assist- ing soloist. The Club is to be commended for their beautiful tones and control of the soft and loud notes so carefully expressed for example in their rendi- tion of Dvorak's “Going Home".

St. Olaf Defeats Negative Debaters Judge Decides For Jury Abolishment In a close oratorical battle the Augsburg Negative debaters lost to the aﬂirmative of St. Olaf, Saturday, March 16, in the Augsburg chapel. The discussion centered around the Pi Kappa Delta proposition: Resolved, that a substitute for trial by jury should be adopted. H. Davis and O. Knutson represent- ed Augsburg as ﬁrst and second speakers, while Kristofer Hagen, after a month’s absencr from the question, was inserted into the fray as third speaker. St. Olaf was represented by Messrs. Logan, Rafdahl, and Aarncss. Delivery, argumentation, and refu- tation were considered equally good for both sides. Prof. 0. P. McElmeel of St. Thomas College was the critic judge for the evening and gave his decision to St. Olaf because of a minor contradiction in the negative case, which the opponents failed to detect. Both sides resorted to the strategy of limiting the argumentation to a nar- row point. The negative based their entire case on the issue that jury trial guarantees the American citizen his democratic rights. The Northﬁelders opposed trial by jury on the bare is- sue of the tremendous delay of court procedure. As a substitute they pro- posed a tribunal consisting of one judge. As the debate progressed, a direct clash of issues became more evident. Both teams showed up well in ora- tory and debate technique and also de- monstrated a thorough knowledge of the question.

In that case, till secretary merely read their number.- and the Lieut. Gov. would say “Second reading of the bill." With these preliminaries out of tho way. the discussion began. Many l)lll> were referred back to committees and others were laid over for discussiuy at a later date. One bill that woulil do away with the system of party ill, signation for candidates was den-um] All bills have to lie road thrci- tinn- beforc they can he voted upon. Non (if the questions taken up that (171' had come that far in the process, s the group did not have the nppm tunity of seeing a bill become law. Mission Group Studies Africa A general survey of Africa as a mission ﬁeld was made by the mem» bers of the Augsburg Mission Study Group at its meeting on March 14th. Using Jwemer's “Unoccupied Misv sions Field of Africa and Asia" as the text it was revealed that despite over a century of energetic mission activity on the part of the Church, there are still large areas such as the Sudan with little or no mission work being carried on, while from ﬁfty to seventy millions of souls in those areas still languish ' the “darksome prison house of si . At the next meeting of the Study Group, April 4th. a similar survey will be made of South America.

P. A. Sveeggen An Easter Wish Christmas with its message of a newborn Savior is the mer- riest time of the church year. But our joy at Easter time should be deeper than even the Yule-tide’s. A cruciﬁed Christ, entombed because of our sins, has conquered death! He is risen! Carlyle in the immortal “Everlasting Yea" asked, “What right has man to be happy? . . . Rather, seek blessnedness instead." But lo one who gives himself wholly in service to the Master—to him must come happiness, too, a genuine joy that shall last forever. May you have a blessed and happy Easter. That is the wish of the “Echo” Staff. As We Begin The New Quarter— Some time ago the faculty appealed to the students to make up all incompletes and to get all work in on time. Another quarter has just ended and it remains to be seen how this plea has been received. If we have erred in this respect, now is the time to turn over a new leaf. By beginning at the very start of the new quarter and correctly ordering our work, we can avoid getting incom- pletes. We may not have stopped to realize it, but the practice of getting work in late or coming late to class is a serious mat- ter. We all want to be able to present high recommendations when we apply for positions upon graduation, but a recommen- dation that does not answer favorably to the question of prompt- ness is not of the best. The faculty members have to ﬁll out our recommendations, but we are the ones who are responsible for what goes into them. Are we going to win marks of “excellent” after the question of promptness? We pride ourselves on our spirit of cooperation. We have been appealed to; let us make good the faith the faculty has in lls and henceforth get all work handed in on time. “The Old Order Changeth, Yielding Place to New” The Echo‘s ship of news launches out upon another year’s voyage, but with a somewhat changed crew. Some of the sailors of past years are looking forward to different duties of an un- known, but hopeful, nature; some have been promoted; and others remain at their old positions on the deck. But all harbor a feeling of concern and interest in the cruiser which, they hope, is going to acquire more and more riches and weathering power as the days go by. “The old order changeth, yielding place to new." Perhaps in the course of the ship‘s voyage, its cargo will become so great that a larger steamer will be needed. If so, the old should be aban- doned, allowing a new and greater conqueror of the wind and waves to ﬁnish the cruise. More merchants then could have their artistic wares transported; more and larger corporations would desire an opportunity to advertise their products to the ship’s guests; a larger number of idle sailors could be offered work, and the vessel's ﬁnancing company would receive higher dividends, if in no other way than by obtaining added prestige. But such a change would not be progressive unless the crew would be willing to shoulder the additional responsibilities. nor unless they would apply foresight to make the venture ﬁnancially safe. at games and to the preqng of its blsketb-ll team, Concordia seniors have pledged “2,500.00 to begin n building fund for a now gymnasium.

Each found his place at the long dining table by finding the place card which illustrated his fav- orite hobby or personnl characteristic. A: the banquet was held in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, Irish jokes went around during the three course meal, which gave added ﬂavor to the sump- tuous feast. Miss Eunice Hanson, guest at the affair, enlightened every one on “The Origin of Wearing Green Ribbons on St. Patrick’s Day. Mr. Dahlen gave two violin selections. The two short plays, namely “The Golden Doom” and “A Night in an Inn” by Lord Dunsnny, which had been assigned for study, were also dis- cussed. James Kelly gave a delight- ful summary of “The Golden Doom." while Abner Butalden reviewed “A Night in an Inn.” The program was concluded with the singing of the “Augsburg Song." Kappa Gamma Rho On Thursday evening, March 14, the Kappa Gamma Rho literary so- ciety met in West Hall to discuss the poetess, Amy Lowell. Several poems had been assigned for individual discussion. Two of these were “Patterns” and “Chinoi- series." Her philosophy in general seems to be greatly inﬂuenced by the pagan works of the Chinese. This is espe- cially evident in “Chinoiseres.” As a result, the group could discover very little moral instruction or inspiration in her work. Although she may have various poetical abilities, she was judged as a writer of an inferior type. Pi Alpha Theta At its last meeting, held on the evening of March 14, the Pi Alpha Theta Society centered its discussion on Hawthorne. Three of his short stories were discussed through indi- vidual reports. Those so given were “The Wedding Knoll”, “The Ambiti- ous Guest”, and “Mr. Hagenbacker”. Following these reports a general discussion took place. This considered Hawthorne’s types of stories, their re- lative merits, literary Value, and phil- oshophy. The reporters brought out some striking qualities which Hawthorne displays. His stories are interesting because of heir subtlety. They are inspirational. In their reserved style they are impressive. After reading them we become conscious of s phil- osophy, sedate. digniﬁed, and good. They provide a moral for all. Food for thought is given. As an aid to meditation another form of inspiration was given. Miss Hilda Peterson favored the group with some strains of music drawn from the varnished wood with the bow she so ably wields.

To many p» pie Easter means merely a time when they must refrain from certain pleas— ures that they enjoy during the rest of the year. To other people the Easter season means only a time of the year when they must blossom out in new spring clothes. What does Easter mean to us? What thoughts are uppermost in our minds during Passion Week? We, who come from Christian homes and who attend a Christian school, should have the true Easter spirit in our hearts. The time when Christ gave His life on the cross that we, poor, worthless sinners that we are, might be saved. should certainly inspire us to live our lives for our Muster. Such a thought is almost too wonderful for us to comprehend. So also when this Easter season comes. let us remember our Savior on Cal- vary. Augsburg Debates South High School A wordy battle was keenly con» tested at Sought High School on Tues- day evening, March twenty»first. The negative side of the question, “Resolved; That the United States government should refuse to protect with armed force the investments of its citizens on foreign soil," was up- held by the Augsburg team consist- ing of Clara Oudal, Vulborg Sver- drup, and Jack Sitenhgf. The de- baters showed a real ﬁghting spirit. The ﬁght was a closely contested one. The decision was two to one in favor of South High. Tho debate was judged by Mr. Paul Hendrickson, de— bate coach of Edison High School, Attorney 0. Hsugland, and Miss V. M. Bracken. The Augsburg leans hopes to hold several more debates this season. (Tahoe: and gen/mes 1918 Augsburg has experienced a revival of oratory. In the Academy the con- testants were Caleb Quanbook, Clem- ent Leesland, and Oswald Johnson. The latter won first place with his oration entitled “Woodrow Wilson." The “Class of 1918 Oratorical Cup Contest" was thg ﬁrst of its kind at school. It was held under the auspices of the Alpha Sigma Society. The con- testants were Bernhard Christianson, Gilbert Almquist, and Anders Johan- son. The winning nuclei: was given by Bernhard Christianson. Its title was "The Call of Service." n We have with us at present two will known ministers of the Lutheran Free Church who serve as censors for the Seniors of the Theological depart- ment.

Academy Presents Easter gram Tuesday, March 26, the Academy staged an Easter Program in the school chapel. The program brought out very effectively the varied talent among the Academy students. Two plays were given. “Dust of the Road", and “The Boy Who Discovered Ell~ ter". Petra Hagen, Clarence Elia- son. Juli-n Foss, and [ester Rood starred in the first play and Juliet Caspersen, Agnes NEII, Dagmar Dahl, Justin Oudal, and Albert Knutseu in the second. A very beautiful read- ing, “The Wheels Of Time”, was given by Gladys Oudal. The Academy Chorus, which made it: ﬁrst public appearance on this occasion, sang sever-l songs. The theme of the en- tire progrnm was in keeping with the true Easter spirit. Lunch was served in the upper hall where additional entertainment was given by Jack Sitenhof and Valling Sverdrup. The Academy wishes to thank Miss Storien and "Jimmy" Pc- tersou for their very kind assistance in making this program a success. Hail! To Our Valiant Bas- ketball Team We didn’t get the championship, no. Bill: how those boy: did ﬁght Nnbly did they show their ﬁght, teamwork, and spirit. Concordia merely beat us in points. As far as winning is con- cerned, both teams won. Winning does not consist only in building up a high snore. You who have so gnllantly fought for Augsburg, Academy have not fought in vain. You have raised the honor of your school by ﬁghting and winning, but you have raised it still hlgher by losing with such splendid sportsmanship, We are proud of you! Campus Notes I Doris Nelson from Willm-r, Minn, is visiting her sister, Lucille, this week. . The Choral Society sung several numbers for “Augsburg Day" at Trinity Church last Sunday evening.

Alumnae Teachers The majority of the alumnae of Augsburg College who enter the teach- ing profession enter the secondary schools of the great Northwest where they are rendering excellent service. Some, however, have found ﬁelds of service in far away places. A I Ruth Myhre (I???) is in the cur ploy oi the Federal Government and is teaching at Petersburg, Alaska, Mrs. B. A.

Almli gave his team a two- point advantage by caging one from the sidc, but Kolesar retaliated by dribbling past the Ole defense to tic the score. Rortvedt spread a cloud of gloom thrn the Ole rooters when he tipped the golden sphere into the basket for what seemed to be the deciding counter. A stalling game failed when Gilbertson was fouled. He made the throw good, but Kolesar was given a similar opportunity and did as well. The game seemed safely tucked avluv in Melby’s pocket v. on Almli adjusted his ﬁeld glasses and rent the ball soaring up among the beams. It appeared to have stuck to thc ceilr ing but noiit came down to even the count. The Auggies fought desper- ately, but uselessly. because Moster also adjusted his glasses and the Oles were leading by two points with less than 30 seconds to play. The game ended and the Oles captured the title for 1529.

Show moreMr. Brace Speaks At Chapel Kr. Brace. Canadian traveling lec- retary of Canadian Volunteers, spoke in chapel the morning of February 27, using as his theme “the inﬂuence of Christianity on China." He told an interesting story of the conversion to the Christian faith of the famous General Fung, of China. The aim of the great general, after experiencing personal salvation, was not to promul- gate war and enmity, but to help spread the gospel of love and peace. Mr. Brace stated that he hoped to be able to return to China during the course of the year to ' his mis- 7 Some of the seniors improved upon the occasion by observing a very de- lightful English cllu. Several cars carrying relatives and friends of Karl and John from Star- buck came ﬁfty miles to hear the con- cert.

Here we took our last look at the mountains. Friday, Feb. 22— Wa are back on the Montana plains. Joplin is not a large city. In fact, when we came in, the station agent was not on the platform, and the en- gineer failed to see the town. How- ever, he stopped on the other side and backed up to let us off. ' The concert was well attended, nevertheless Rem} Engh had made the arrangements here. Saturday, Feb. 23— We left Joplin late last night. As we crawled out of our berths this morning, we all felt relieved—«realiz- ing that we had spent our last night on the sleeper. Rev. Moen hustled us up to his home for our dinner. No one objected to “fattingmand” or “lefse.” The The hilarity was not so great in the morning when we were awakened be- fore four o‘clock to catch the early train for Minot. Sunday, Feb. 24— Sundays are usually our heavy days. Having had but four hours sleep the night before, many spent the forenoon in bed. Some, however, assisted Rev. Carlsen at the morning services. Through the good management of Rev. Carlsen and the kindness of his parishioners, we were enabled to go up to Carpio in the afternoon and give a concert there. The Minot con- cert in the evening was the biggest of the tour. The church was packed and hundreds were turned away. Monday, Feb. 25— Early in the morning a tired Glee Club boarded the train at Minot. It was high noon when the train stopped at Grand Forks. The ﬁfteen—minute stop was utilized in securing lunch. 0f the nineteen young men who left the train, fourteen were on the train when it left Grand Forks. The five remaining apparently reckoned time according to woman’s chronology. These feminists arrived something over an hour later on the Galloping Goose. The weather was warm in Fargo. at least George thought so. The best number on the program that evening was a request by Rev. Urdahl that we come to his house after the con- cert to eat lunch. We came through in ﬁne form on this last number. and we were espocillly overjoyed by the fact that Rnut had at last received a sufﬁcient amount of available vita- mines. Tuesday, Feb. 26— At Rev. Nilsen's behest we sang for the high school students, who appre- ciated our performance very much.

Young People Rally At St. Olaf Church (Continued from page 1) At the evening session Dean Miller of the Lutheran Bible Institute in St. Paul based his sermon on Genesis 35. He said that Jacob is a source of learning for us all. Jacob had often felt God‘s presence, but he passed through many struggles because of his sins. At last, in real distress he realized that he had not gone back to God. He was humble and went to Bethe] and got right with God. r,_’_’__‘ Phonon Oﬂ‘ice: Dy. 3302. Res: Du. 2974 E. C. Andresssen, M.

After a long by the St. Olaf choir, Rev. Foaae of Bellingham, Wash., and Rev. Quello, testiﬁed of the need for going back to Bethel. A song by Mr. Rasmussen, Director of St. Olaf Church choir, brought the rally to a close. Dr. S¢dergren Speaks At Mission Meeting (Continued from page 1) Present conditions in Russia and Siberia are both discouraging and hopeful. Famine is general through- out the land and the official door is barred to foreign missionaries. How- ever, there are many active Chris- tians among the people themselves and it seems likely that missionaries, if they become naturalized, will be permitted. A Bible School is ﬂourish- ing in Leningrad despite the ﬁnan- cial difﬁculties of the students. A few minutes following the talk were devoted to the asking and an- swering of questions, in which a keen interest in the subject was displayed. The meeting closed with a general season of prayer. It is our expecta- tion to have Dr. Sodergren address us again in the near future on the same subject. Gustavus Host To Convention Only with concerted eifort to pro- mote Christian fellowship among our brothers and sisters can the true spirit of the Messenger of Peace and Good Will be exempliﬁed in the heart of every serious, thinking young man or lady. In order to advance the possibilities of coping with the worldly teachings, and never let the standards down, the students of Gustavus Adolphus Col» logo are ararnging for a Christian Convention, especially aimed at the young people and their problems, to be held at St. Peter, March 15 to 17. inclusive. The centrum of the convocations will be based on, “Know Your Saviour and Serve Him." Under this head, sub- divisions will be touched in an effort to clarify any dangling misunder- standings in order that the meetings might take on the aspect “Heart to Heart With the Master."

Coach Skurdalsvold presented two men for class B competition, Captain Tjon and Fossan. The requirement was for three entries, and the lack of one entry placed the boys at a big dis- advantage for ﬁnal rating. TioN Pucss Goose Sworn) In individual scoring honors only a bare point separated ﬁrst and second places. Tjon’s score was 241 while the winner, a St; Olaf entry, scored 242 points. Emil Fossan, though his work was not up to par with his usual standard, came in for his share of honors by taldng fourth place. Tjon’s exhibition on the horse and Fossan‘s work on the horiwntal bar were features of Class B competition. ROSSING Cors Honors IN CLAss C In Class C Augsburg likewise lack- ed one entry. Melvin Rossing, show» ing consistent. all-around gym work, took scoring honors in Class C, plac— ing ﬁrst in the Northwestern Gym competition and likewise in the Col- lege Circle for Class C. As a ﬁnal rating for both classes, the Augsburg team placed third. Much credit is due to Coach Skur- dslsvold for building up a team from green material. Only four regulars from last year’s team are back on the squad. The gymnasts are still continuing their work, and in the near future they will exhibit their physical skill in the annual gym exhibition in the Augsburg gymnasium. This prom- ises to be the best in the history of the school. The members of the team are Sigurd Berg. Hamline Blix, Ber- ner Dahlen, Emil Fossan, Tennis Hal- vorson, Leander Quanbeck, .Malvin Rossing, Orion Stenejem, and Captain Herman Tjon.

Knutsen, was defeat- ed in a close contest by the Augustsns College negative team at Sioux Falls, S. D., Monday, March 4. The question debated was, Resolved that, A substitute for trial by jury should be adopted. Because of the absence of the regular ﬂirmative de- baters, J. Nordberg and K. Hagen,~ who accompanied the Glee Club on its western tour—the negative was ob- liged to ﬁnish the schedule by debut— ing both sides of this question. How- ever, upholding the resolution was found more difficult than opposing it; and the former negative team fell back before an attack similar, in some respects, to the arguments used in de» testing the Concordia afﬁrmative team a week before The judge criticized the negative case because it proposed no deﬁnite substitute for trial by jury. But, the question does not call for a deﬁnite substitute, and as a result a majority of college teams leave that part of the argument vague. This practice is more strategic than proposing a ﬁxed plan because it leaves little room for attack from this quarter, and shifts the scene of the verbal battle to the evils of the present jury system. Six points were used by the judge in sifting the merits of the two teams. Refutation and authority were given tonoithartaambecauaebothfailedto use these points advantageously. There was no decisive clash of argu- ments, and the authorities used did not further the argumentation. Reason- ing went to the negative, while analy- sis became the property of the amp mative. The afﬁrmative was given a slight edge in the last two points, or- ganization and delivery. A decision debate with St. Olaf, March 16, will give the local debaters opportunity to uphold their original side—the negative. Co-eds Clash With Con- cordia In Dual Debate On Thursday evening, March 7, the coeds met in dual debates with the coeds of Concordia College, Moor- head, on the question, “Resolved, that the installment buying of consump— tion goods should be condemned." The afﬁrmative team composed of Elsie Lokken and Tilma Leeland de- bated Concordia's negative team, Bertha Okland and Lucille Grothe. Our team was royally entertained at Concordia and thoroughly appreciated the hospitality shown them. Before returning home the girls, accompanied by Miss Mortensen, visited Oak Grove Seminary at Fargo. The same evening the negative team, namely Marie Halvorscn and Pearl Norum, met the allirmative from Concordia, in the Augsburg chapel. The visiting team was composed of the Nelson sisters who have debated together for three years. Both debates were non-decision. The second debate within a week was held in the theological lecture room on Tuesday afternoon, March 12. The clash was between the negative team of Gustavus Adolphus College and the afﬁrmative of Augsburg. In this debate installment buying was condemned by three girls, namely Tilina leeland, Myrtle Juberg, and Elsie Lokken. Gustavus Adolphus was represented by the Missal Peter- aon. Anderson. and Fredricklon. The women's delmte salon is now drawing to a close. debates having been held with tans from Mainline, Concordia, and Gustavus. Each has beﬂl nondecision.

Glee Club Sings Home Concert Elias Hailing To Assist As Soloist Since its return from the extensive tour to the Paciﬁc coast, the Augsburg Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. H. P. Opseth, has been rehearsing di< ligently for its home concert to be given at Central Lutheran Church to— morrow evening. when the Glee Club gave a concert in Astoria, Oregon, the “Morning Astorian” called the program “an un- usual musical treat."

Freshmen Present Pro- gram, “Hummersque” The Freshmen “Hummersque” was ﬁnally “bummed” and given in chapel on Tuesday evening, March 5. The main feature was a one-act play in two scenes, “Suppressed Desires." The parts were taken by Myrtle Ju- berg, Mildred Larson, and Edwin Ol— son. Not a little amusement was afford- ed the audience by the “Norskies”, Martha Berg and Peder Sand, a humorous scene given in the Norwe- gian language. In “Two Reds on the Green” Laurel Johnson and Ralph Lillehei showed their talents for making verses. Next followed a shadow performance. A solo by Lester Tangvald and piano duets by Lois Vsnatta and Mildred Larson furnished the music throughout the prognm. Mias Storien who coached the play was presented with a plant as a gift of appreciation by the Freshmen c |Dr. S¢dergren Speaks At Mission Meeting Needs of Russia And Siberia Discussed The Augsburg Mission Study Group was privileged to have as speaker at its meeting on March 7, the well- known Bible scholar and teacher, Dr. C. .I. Sadergren of the Lutheran Bible Institute in St. Paul. His talk, which centered about the spiritual nut-(ls of Siberia and Russia, was based on per sonal observations made a few years ago when he served as a member of a Commission of three sent to Siberia to select strategic points for missio ary ocupation. Speaking of the Eski- mos in the regions of the Bering Sea, he mentioned their depraved pagan worship and also the demoralization created by unscrupulous traders and hunters who have introduced whiskey. Modern methods of hunting have des- poiled the waters of their wealth of walrus and seals so that famine also is s vital problem among them. Dr. Sadergren cited the instance of a certain village where the problem was so acute one winter that the older men arose in the night and went out of the village to perish in the cold in order that the younger generation might survive. In Siberia, Dr. Sodergren's party was arrested by the Bolshevists, but their suspicions were partly allayed by Bolshevist newspapers in Dr. Sa- dergren's pockets which he had placed there for just such an occaA sion. The Russians were openly atheistic and ridiculed their prisoners for believing in a God. However, in their hearts they knew better, as was proved by many of them stealing singly under cover of the night to the place where the group slept in order that they might drink in the message of Jesus and His love. When Dr. So- dergren and his companions left, the leader of the Bolshevists, who was also the district judge, said with great earnestness, “When you come and build a Bible School here such as the one in St. Paul you have told us about, I will be the ﬁrst and best slur dent."

From various places visited by the organization during the past few weeks have come many personal expressions of praise of the quality of the concerts given. Several more weeks of con- stant rehearsing under Prof. H. P. Opseth‘s direction may well assure us of still better results when the boys sing their home concert tomorrow evening. Augsburg students have always loyally given their support to all school activities and will have an opportunity to show their appreciation of the splendid work being done by the Glee Club by attending the concert at Central Lutheran Church. We have spoken highly of the prowess of the Glee Club, but in so doing we must give much of the credit for the success of this musical organization to the director, Prof. H. P. Opseth, who has spared no time or eﬁ‘ort to produce a group of singers of remark- able quality. We congratulate Prof. Opseth upon his excellent work. Point System It is impossible to do justice to any activity if one participates ill too many. In order to avoid this over-burdening of extracur- ricula ‘ activities it seems necessary that some point system should he adopted by the students. I The main object of such a point system would be to claSSlfy all the student activities with regard to their importance and the time required for each. Each student could participate in a cer- tain number of activities according to his scholastic average. At no one time should he be allowed to take part in more than‘ovne major activity, while he could have his choice of several activities of minor importance. In this way, no student would be burdened with so many outside interests that he would be unable to give sufﬁcient support to those organizations to which he belonged. It is true that such a point system would not be an easy mat- ter to introduce into our school system. It would take much work and a great deal of time before it could be fully adopted. Our student body is rather small so the change would need to. be made gradually. Perhaps it could be introduced at the beginning of a school year into a new Freshman Class so that those in~ terested in certain activities could concentrate on that special in- lerest from the beginning. Several students have been heard to remark about the eventual necessity of such a plan at Augsburg. We feel that it is a problem for student consideration at the present time.

"‘The Spoon River Anthology" is a unique poem in that it has no central theme other than revealing the char- acter of a host of deceased indivi- duals. As the poet muses in the graveyard, he observes the various epitaphs, and from these he tries to describe the characters in whose memory they were erected. It is thought that these people were once inhabitants of the little country town of Spoon River. Although this poem was considered Master‘s best. it con- tains no special signiﬁcance either in thought or beauty. On the following evening, Kappa Gamma staged a toboggan slide at the Columbia Heights hill. The evening was ideal for an outing of this na- ture, so nearly every member re- sponded to the call of the out—ofvdoors. When this desire had been satisﬁed by about two hours of sliding and hill climbing. the group was in the proper mood to journey homeward to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold. Here all gastronomical cravings were appeased with generous portions of. beans, rolls, and date bars. The so- ciety is very grateful to the above mentioned for the use of their home on this occasion. Aside from a slight mishap at the slide, everyone seemed satisﬁed with the events of the even- ing. Should any reader desire an ef- ﬁcient dish-washer, he may perhaps secure the services of Palmer Isakson, who this night proved his efﬁciency in soap and water. t Pi Alpha Theta The Pi Alpha Theta Literary So- ciety at its last meeting, held Feb. 28, had for its consideration some of the short stories of Thomas Hardy. Several enlightening reports were given. These represented Hardy’s simple way of picturing the demerits of life’s folly. His stories leave “food for thought." The underlying morals are sound, wholesome and moderately impressive. The latter part of the meeting was enjoyed—no doubt the mosPin lis~ tening to Mr. Nordberg‘s descriptive account of his adventures with the Glee Club boys on their tour to the edge of the briny depths. He told of the rise and fall of the earth; the whirring rip of the serrated metal tearing thin bodies of wood of im— mense magnitude; the witness of the low-ebbed shore; the uneasiness of a “royal berth; and the inspiring in- ﬂuence of concentrated nature on the reading of literature. Only one in our group had a chance to doubt his veracity. However, we doubt not his genuine interest and enthusiasm in speaking of the trip. It would please us all to have the same opportunity. May we learn thereby to love nature more and appreciate its greatness! May this help to inspire us to seek through convenient channels—litera— tore—nature's delightful scenes and its right relationship with life. a Lambda Epsilon Phi Scenes from Maseﬁeld’s “The Locked Chest" were skillfully dramas tized by Elsie Lokkan. George Hal- vorson, Laurel Johnson, and Burner Dahlen at the meeting of the Lambda Epsilon Phi on March 31. The drama by Maseﬁeld was the topic of discussion that evening, and in order that all might derive the greatest possible beneﬁt from the study of one play, O'Ray Weeks gave a brief summary of interesting facts on the dramatists’ life, and the char- acteristics of his writings in general. Berner Dahlen entertained the group with a violin 5010. Campus Notes The girls commenced their series of interclus basketball games on Thurs— day, March 7.

You hear so many of the older people say that they wasted so much time when they were young. Still we go on with the same careless disregard for the pre- cious moments of time that slip by so swiftly. We see it all around us. A mo- ment here and a moment there with all its golden opportunities slipping by unheeded. It doesn’t take very long before the habit of “putting off until tomorrow what can be done today" is thoroughly cultivated. A great ma- jority of this lost time is merely spent in idle chatter and gossip, that doesn’t do any good, but sometimes does a great deal of harm. of course we cannot spend all our time studying or working, but some of us spend only a very small part of our time engaged in proﬁtable labor. Suppose we tum over a new leaf as we begin this new quarter, which by the way is the most tempting one of them all in which to squander time, and watch those ﬂeeting moments and hours a little more carefully. Augsburg Loses In Triangle Debate Both the negative and afﬁrmative academy teams lost by a decision of two to one in the triangle debate Fri- day, March 12. The question for de- bate was, Resolved: That the United States should protect by armed force, investments of its citizens on foreign soil. The afﬁrmative team composed of Valborg Sverdrup, Cliﬁord Johnson, and Chester Sorkness met the Minne- haha negative debaters in the Augs- burg chapel, while Clara Oudal, Jack Sitenlof, and Maurice Holland up- held the negative side of the question at Minnesota College. Judges for the debate at Augsburg were: Leroy Nelson, former debate coach at Central High, 1’. A. Taylor of the University of Minnesota, and Attorney David Smeby. Academy Downs Minnehaha, 35-28 On Wednesday afternoon, March 6, the academy baaketeers completed their last conference game of tho no» son by defeating Minnehaha, 35-28. Alter allowing Minnehaha to get the ﬁrst basket, the Auggie preps got down to business and began counting basket alter basket until at the end of the ﬁrst quarter, they had a 18-4 lead over their opponents. The Minnehaha players came back with more ﬁght in the second period and succeeded in fnining somewhat, but could not overcome the lead held by the Auggiea. The third period started with two baskets for Minnehahn in quick sue-- cession. This seemed only to inspire the Auggies who took turns in land- ing the sphere thru the loop. In the fourth period, Rood was sub- stituted for Eliason, and later Clifford Johnson was sent in to take Knutsen’s place who was sentenced to the bench, having four personal fouls. Thompson, Auggie center, was high scorer for the day totaling 12 points. Knutsen and Anderson followed with 11 and 10 points respectively. Lanes it guard, did ﬁne work in keeping Minnehaha from scoring. Auggie Cagers Trim Minnesota The Augsburg academy basketball team won its most decisive victory of the season here Saturday night, March 2. from Minnesota College, 45- 6. The game was very uninteresting and loosely played. Minnesota started the scoring with a ﬁeld goal, but from that time on seldom had possession of the ball. The Auggies were inaccurate in shoot. .ng, but connected often enough to keep a good lead throughout. Ander- son did most of the scoring by sink- ing eight goals and a free throw for a total of 17 points. Three of the Auggie ﬁrst-stringers went to the showers and such note- worthy subs as Cliff Johnson, Mally Johnson, and John Bjerke saw action and acted almost as effectively as the ﬁrst team men. the noteworthy members of the class decided to take his hand at poetry and here's the result: Edwin Olson who had been am- bitiously writing poetry was gazing intently at Harold Famess. Harold—“What are you looking at me for—an inspiration?" Edwin—“Yes, an inspiration for blank verse.” e Elmer Weltzin, a graduate of the class of ’28, new teaching at Stewart, Minn., was a week-end campus visitor. 3 Miss Borghild Bromstad, an alumna of Augsburg, was a guest of Miss Mortensen recently.
