It was Dan Elmer's debut in the college ranks in which he deﬁnitely showed the con- ference that his team will be a fac- tor to be seriously considered for the Ill-10 season. The St. Paul school started their sole march for a tally late in the ﬁrst quarter and poked the ball over just after the start of the second period. The “Auggies” over determination and lack of experience caused a Pi- per score at this point. It was three consecutive off-sides and three short gains, one by Hamline's Bill Spence and Jack Campbell, that crushed Augsburg‘s hopes of a clean slate. Augsburg only threat came in the re quarter when “the ﬁghting crew" were stopped on the N yard line where they lost the ball on downs. From the ~15. Mart carried the bull to Hanlline’s 28, where Thompson made it a ﬁrst down. Jim Gibbons went to the :20 yard marker on a buck and then a pass, Mart to Gibbons. carried the ball to the H where the Hamline defense stopped Augsburg's offense cold.

Mick Mutters The old “blower” is back at his post with the same old palaver. 1 hope you gullible and docile peruscrs of this column can swallow this stuff for another year. Should the mate- rial be indigestiblc. just pass it off, with all due respects and considera- tions for the source of information. It has been reported. however, that because of increased advertising this column cannot be printed. Close adv mirers of this column could be a great help by donating to the Augsburg Echo the sum equivalent to the ad- vertisement. In this way the column will continue, and again you can reap the beneﬁts for another year. To write on the Echo staﬁ this year is none other than Vernon Blik- stad the News Hawk who blew into town the other day after spending a busy summer in Fergus Falls. He is not only a member of the sports staﬁ', Golden Gopher New Auggie Coach None would think of calling him anything but “Dan”. On ﬁrst meeting and talking to him one senses im- meditately that addressing him as Mr. Elmer or as Mr. Dan Elmer would be too formal and out of place. After speaking to him for a while one realizes that he is not as soft4 spoken as he ﬁrst appeared. probably becau he has warmed up to one of hi. fa orite subjects and is telling you the good tasting qualities of some new dish of food, or the merits of some insurance policy, or the ad- vantages of 6-2-24 football defense. Dan graduated from North High in June 1934 and decided to continue his work at the University of Minner sota. Herc he continued to be promiv nent in Y. M. C. A. circles as he had been in high school. Here he became a member of the Phi Delta Theta fra~ ternity in which he still takes an active part. He played center on Gopher football teams and earned three letters. Dan still attends tht University. taking courses in phy— but will serve as publicity director of the school. “Blik” is to write for the Star-Journal and Tribune this school year, which should give Aug - burg plenty of publicity in all ac‘iri» ties. This fall a concentrated cani- paign is being formed to give publi- city to the newly formed football team. Last year Augsburg became known far and wide because of concerted drives by “Blik”. If Augsburg is to grow and expand, an adequate publi- city campaign must be conducted, not only in the athletic department. but in forensics, and music. and the dlﬁerent minor ones. So "My Friends”, let’s back “Blik’s” newly formed publicity campaign. for it might moan publicity for you, and just think what the home town folks would say My what a popular fel- low he is. JGob". AUGSBURG ECHO Augsburg’s Elmer and Schmit Star—Journal lholﬂ sical education, while coaching here. Dan is now associated with the Monarch Life Company for whom he sells insurance. This fact makes it necessary for him to get to diﬂ‘erent places very quickly, which he does by driving rather fast in his Vv8 Ford coupe. Just lately Dan received a “yes” from Miss Helen Hortel of Minne- apolis. and for a wedding present the Auggie football men sent him a pair of baby overalls. In the pockets were stuffed one dollar bills, half dollars. quarters, dimes and nickels totalling ten dollars This is just one of the many indications Dan has received from his football men showing they think he is tops as a coach Roast beef, mashed potatoes, and gravy is Dan's favorite dish. Already Mrs. Elmer is urging Dan to buy a whole side of beef She ﬁgures by buying in larger quantities they will save enough for her husband to buy her a new hat, The football men like Dan very much and will be trying their hard- est to give their new coach a success- ful season. “A” Club to Present “Dramatic Farce” The "A" Club, a comparatively new organization at Augsburg, cele- brates its third birthday this year. This organization is Composed of former and recent letter winners. and has as its main purpose “to keep the athleti of Augsburg on the highest po..ible plane, and to further promote the truths and undying spirit for which Augsburg stands." Projects for the year may include another “Dramatic Force" for which the “A” club has already established fame. The annual steak supper a' Homecoming and a big feed at its annual spring meeting are highlight- on its calendar. The Club has been active in the past and will undoubtedly be more active in the future with Augsburg’s lesumption of intercollegiate foot- ball competition.

Augsburg hasn't had competitive football on the inter- collegiate basis for ﬁve long years This year Dan Elmer had to start from scratch with only a few men carried over from the intramural squad last season. Still Mr. Elmer, a former Big Ten football star, is not crying too loud: he likes his new position very well.

At the ﬁrst meeting for old mem- bers only, Dr. Nash showed the slides he took at Yellowstone this summer. This organization is primarily for students interested in science of some sort and who have B averages schol- astically. Dr. Nash, head of the Biology de- partment, spends his summers in Yellowstone National Park as nat- uralist and guide. His position en» ables him to make extensive collec- tions of ﬂowers and ﬁlms which are of great value to Botany and Biology students at Augsburg.

Dr. Karl Ermiach, head of the Ger- man department, returned on Sep- tember 19, after a harrowing cross in; from Europe. Dr. Ermiach left Hamburg August 24 on the German ship Hausa, which was called back to Germany when only one day out. He returned to Hamburg, but on advice of the American consul went to Denmark. A German pilot was required to guide the SCANYORK through the mines at the entrance of the Baltic sea. During the crossing 75 German warships were sighted laying mines. And the ship crossed on a northern route to avoid submarines. “All of which made us rather nervous, as you can well imagine," Dr. Ermisch said. “I found a Germany entirely dif- ferent from what I had seen 29 years ago—not only that the country had turned from imperialism to so- cialism, but the people had changed, too. It was indeed a revolution, a national rebirth when national so- cialism was inaugurated." “We here in America will naturally object to the empha- sis on ‘national’, but socialism, deﬁned by the Nazis as unre- served service to society, does not seem too objectionable to me... “The vast majority of Germans who know Hitler, almost idoline him, other: regard him as coming from and belonging to the abyss. “The soalled democracies may will have a chance to crush Hitler. In 10 years Germany would have been too strong for any combination of powers to subdue," he said. LSA Features Ashraam Quartet The first meeting of the Lutheran Student’s Ass ation was held in Chapel lust Fri ay evening, Sept. 22, at 8: 0. Several songs were sung by the audience after which Conrad Jergenson gave the invocation. Dr. B. M. Christensen, president of Augsburg College, in his address related the history and purpose of the Lutheran Association acquaint— ing the new students more fully with the activities of the organiza- tion. Other special features of the pro- gram consisted of selections by a quartet that participated at the Lu- theran Student's Ashram at Hickory, North Carolina last August. The quartet is composed of Myrus Knutson, lat tenor, Iowa State Uni- versity; Gordon Egertson, second tenor, and Erling Thompson, second bass. St. Olaf College, and Robert Pearson, ﬁrst has Augsburg Col- lege. All except Robert Pearson, who is now attending the University of Minnesota, are enrolled this year at Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul. Lester Dahlen was in charge of the services. Juniors Lack Lucrc Kenneth Carlson, president, called a meeting of the Junior class for the purpose of obtaining ideas as m ways and means of raising money. A committee was chosen to investi- gate possibilities for a clas program.

Laurence Rydquist was made treasurer in the absence of Er- ling Tungseth, who transferred to Concordia College. A weiner roast will be held at Hid- den Falls on Friday, October 6. Ar- rangements for other social activi- ties which will occur during the course of the year, are also in the making. Various committees were elect- ed: Pins and rings, Russell Helleck- son, chairman, Venoy Glendenning, Henry Chapman, and Roy Gordon: Sweater, Lucius Heusser, chairman, Agathe Kleven, and Bernell Borstad; Announcements, Roy Maids, chair- man, Clarice Nundahl, and Adelaid Johnson; Pictures, Alice Backstrom, chairman, George Anderson, and Ralph Sletten. Busse, Relig ous Emphasis Speaker Pastor G. W. Busse is to be at Augsburg during our Religious Em- phasis Week, October 9 to 13. Plans are being made to have Rev. Busse speak for two Chapel periods, to or- range opportunities for personal in- terviews, and to have meetings in the evenings from seven until eight. This week, set aside especially for the emphasis of religion, should MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1939 All Time High Registration Record Promised Everything points to a all-time record in registration at Augsburg. 408 students have been registered in the first two weeks of school. At the corresponding date last year the ﬁgure was 363 or 45 less. Prof. Mar- tin Quanbeck, registrar, voiced the opinion that the number of students at Augsburg would pass the 450 mark this year. The Freshman class of 181 is the largest in the 71 years of Augsburg’s existence. Last year's Green num- bered 155. The ﬁgures for the other classes are: Sophomore 97 and for '38 87 Juniors, 65 as against 70. Seniors 59 as compared with 48 for 1938. This year there seems to be quite a gap between the sizes of the Sophomore and Junior classes, while the Senior class has held its own. We also have 5 special students at Augsburg this year. The theological seminary has 14 students to date, which is 2 above last year’s 12. This means an in- crease of 16 2/3 ‘7r. Augsburg’s students hail from 14 states and 4 countries. Approx- imately 67 per cent of our students are native Minnesotans. Minneapolis has the largest representation of any city with 109, According to latest available statistics at least 1 % of arouse great interest among the stu- dent body. Starbuck, Minn., is on our campus (9 people). INTRODUCING NEW AUGSBURG PERSONALITIES Now that a new semester is under way and things are almost back to normal, you probably have noticed several unfamiliar faces here and there on the campus. Not only are there many new per- sonalities in the student body, but also several new faculty members and workers. REV ARNOLD HELSETE Nearly all of you have had some contact with our Personal Director, Rev. N. C. Anderson, either through registration, or in the mad search for employment. Rev. Anderson is a graduate of Augsburg. class of ’34. He has spent four years as a pastor in Tacoma, “Wash, since leaving the Seminary, and incidentally, he is glad to be back with us again. Miss Anderson is the lady in the registration oﬂice. By the way, hasn't she the patience of a saint, to be able to smile after wading through registration blanks for two weeks? She, too. was a student here at Ange burg in 1934, hailing originally from Menominie, Wis. Miss Chilson is assisting Dean Momnsen over in Morton Hall. She formerly taught at Augustana Aca- demy, and at present is attending the L. B. 1. His Wyman, our dietician. is a penseaofﬂicyear. graduate of the University of Iowa. Before coming to Augsburg, she was employed at the State Hospital in Clarinda, Iowa. Miss Wyrnan was particularly impressed by our grand dining hall and equipment. She com- mented too, on the nice people she has met here at our college. While We're on the subject of food and dining halls, we can‘t forget to mention Mrs. Nelson, formerly of Nellie Steven’s Cafe, here in Minne- apolis. She is the pastry cook, and from several reports, it must be cone cluded that she need not take a back seat for no one when it comes to cooking. Our new gym teacher, Miss Bergo, is a graduate of St. Olaf. “I have been favorably impressed by the ﬁne Christian attitude found here at Augsburg," says Miss Bergo. Luther Strommen and Lawrence Gudmestad are in charge of the Em- ployment Bureau. They have found work for some seventy students, and that is a record that certainly speaks for itself. Rev. Arnold Helseth, formerly a teacher at Oak Grove Seminary (Little sister school of Augsburg) and also an Augsburg graduate, is the instructor in philosophy. He re- places Rev. William Siege], who is furthering his own studies. Promising Outlook For Debate Season “Although the debate teams have not yet been organised, some of the prospective members seem promis- ing," states Everald Strom, a member of last year's debate team. Tentative plans have been made for Augsburg's debate teams. They will participate in tournaments at Winﬁeld, Kansas, Concordia College, and St. Thomas College. Mr. John Acker will be coach again. Mr. Thomas Gibson is assist- ing with a class in argumentation and debate. DR PENG FU Clean Cut Your Closets A call is issued by the women of Augsburg to all the students and members of the faculty for assistance in the furnishing of a social or club room. NUMBER 1 Dr. Pens Fu, Chinese Christian Leader, Speaks Oct. 19, 20 Olson LFC Missionary Will Translate Talks Dr. Peng Fu, president of (he Lu- theran Church of China. will be a guest of Augsburg College on the nineteenth and twentii‘th of Octobur. He will be the convocation speaker on the nineteenth, and on the «lay fol- lowing hc will speak in chnpcl. Rev. Arthur Olson, a Lutheran Free Church missionary from China, now home on furlough, \vlll interpret Dr. Pong Fu's messages. Dr. Pong has been in tho Unitvd States four months. He has mndv extended tours in the \Vcst lind East where he spoke at the L. S. A. Ash- lzlm in North (‘nrolimL Julian, Hanan. China, i Dr. Pl‘ng's home address, and thi. is his ﬁrst trip abroad.

The Chinese clergyman received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from St. Olaf College at the com- mcncerncnt exercises last June. Dr. Peng is not certain just when he will return to China. Plans are such that with the co- operation of everyone, a rummage sale can be held down on Cedar. Mildred Ryan, W. S. G. A. presi- dent, says, “There is nothing that will not sell. Anything you don’t want someone else will—so come on fellows." The girls want ties, suits, shirts, books, lamps, hats, and shoes. They want old jewelry (ten cent stuﬁ is 0.K.) hats, dresses, shoes,7just anything goes. 0h, yes—and how about some vol- unteers for helping move that furni- ture from Old Main down to Cedar? All this for a club room. There is no question about the necessity of such a room, so let's all get behind the idea and push. Sophs Plan Frosh l iation Party Harry Sorenson, president of thc Sophomore class, called a meeting chieﬂy for the purpose of making plans for tho.- Freshman-Sophomore party. Wallace Roscbei'g was chosen treasurer to succeed Robert Retrum, who did not return. An executive committee of ibru‘ Ruth Homplunll. d Tom Vulvik were chosen to 3+ t the class ofﬁcers throughoul the year. 2|.\ Sigfricd Aadland, an Dahlcn Revamp: Elaborate Plans For Homecoming Deﬁnite plans are already under way for Homecoming. This is Augs- burg’s seventieth birthday and also the dedication year, so it makes for a full program. Wednesday night, November 1, will mark the opening of Homecoming by the annual banquet of the Writers‘ Club, wherein they initiate their new members. Alumni of the orga- nization are also there to rem-w ac- quaintances and to discuss writing problems. The speaker has not as yet been secured, according tn lncz Hinrichs, president of the club.

Address all correspondence to “AuossURG ECHO", Augsburg College, 8th St. and let Ave. S., Minneapolis, Minnesota. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: $1.00 PER YEAR “Seeing all things through the eyes of Christ.” A Hand Of Welcome We desire to wish a hearty welcome to all new students, Frosh and upper classmen. If the tribulation which you Freshmen are in at pres- ent seems irksome, remember you will soon be admitted as full-ﬂedged Auggies and there‘ll be another set of Plebes next year. Augsburg offers you an opportunity to ex- amine yourself. Take stock of your abilities and handicaps. Check your energy against your aims. What are your ideals? Give yourself di- rection. Augsburg extends a welcome to work. She desires that you achieve something valuable, something permanent and places her faculty, her library, her laboratories, her athletic activities, her extra curricular program, at your service. All this she can do but she cannot make you work-that one essential must come from with» in you. Seize the opportunity to develop into a balanced personality. There is current in the world today—the dan- gerous idea that one can get something for nothing. Scholastically, what one gets for nothing is not retained,—it is a loss, Ancients as well as moderns have believed in a philosophy of destiny. This philosophy says that I am destined to become such-and-such and therefore it will be futile for me to work for or against fate. Fortunately this attitude has given way to the healthier one of a philosophy of work. “Man is largely what he wants to be." Information, Please ! One of the aims of the editorial page of the Augsburg Echo is to inform. With this objec- tive in mind the paper has accepted member- ship in the Student Opinion Surveys of Amer- ica. These Surveys attempt to measure the pub- lic opinion of students throughout America. They deal with a wide range of topics: morals, politics, war, crime and a great number of ques- tions of present day interest. We will receive 25 ballots each month to be ﬁlled out by Augs- burg students. A staff member will interview the students and tabulate the results. The ﬁnd- ings will be forwarded to the headquarters of the Student Opinion Surveys of America for national tabulation. In each Echo a table of questions comparing Augsburg opinion with na- tional opinion will be published. By means of these polls the Echo hopes to bring its readers an interesting, accurate digest of what the people on our campus and other American campuses think about vital problems. We would enlist your wholehearted cooperation and support in “putting this thing over." Another feature of the editorial page is the “Special Events” feature which will inform you of lectures, athletic and cultural activities, which are worth attending. Frequently students are so busy on the campus that they overlook hap- penings at which they would very much like to be present. This feature is intended to ﬁll just such a need. AUGSBURG ECHO Augburg’s SEVENTY-FIRST Year The school year which opened on September 18 is Augsburg's seventy-ﬁrst. At Homecoming this fall, to be held the ﬁrst week- end in November, we are to celebrate our seventieth anniversary. Seventy years of Christian educational activity, many-branched! Seventy years of teaching service by a large group of devoted Christian teachers! Seventy years of questing for Truth by class after class of eager, life-hungry students. Seventy years of sac- riﬁce on the part of thousands who have loved Augsburg and sup- ported her work. Seventy years of prayer and soul-work by those who sought also through Augsburg to advance the Kingdom of Christ. . . . We who are privileged to begin this year at our school are recipients anew of a great heritage, far greater than we our- selves at present appreciate or understand. Others have labored; we are entered into their labors. This anniversary year is a year of difﬁculty and of travail in the life of the world. As we resume our studies in comparative peace and plenty, millions of our fellowmen are suffering and dying. Uncertainty and anxiety stalk in countless places, and freedom is a thing unknown. The deprivations and trials of others should make our privileges loom the larger to us this year. Of him to whom much has been given shall also much be required. Conscious of being heirs of a rich Christian treasure, conscious of being men and women of high privilege in a world of bitterest need, may we all, students and teachers, be found faithful in our places of trust during this school year!

Howevernhe With our hard-ﬁghting football editor reserves the right to reject, team and our enthusiastic “pep delete, or revamp any material. The Echo cannot accept responsibility for views expressed in this column. squad" we should be looking for a good football season. We, the stu- dents. must remember that the team must have support and cooperation from us as well as from themselves. So, let's back them up 100% and go into every game with them with a determination to win. Han-let Hellcckszm. Dear Editor: My personal opinion is that inter— collegiate football is a great thing for Augsburg for three reasons. Firstly, it removes the idea of “a house divided against itself," as in intra-mural football, and makes for a spirit of unity. Cynic on Football Secondly, it will provide an evenly- balanced inter-collegiate schedule throughout our school year, which will undoubtedly attract more men to our student body. And thirdly, it will give Augsburg added publicity—a thing important to the success of any growing school. Wesley Gullickaon Dear Editor: That “great American outdoor sport" has once again taken its place in the intercollegiate program at our school. It is one which we as stu- dents have greatly missed in the past ﬁve years. With the spark and spirit which Augsburg displays we should be able to once again build up a ﬁght- ing team, peppy-loyal student sup- port, and a good following among the alumni and friends. I hope that it will encourage the enrollment of true»hearted athletes and scholars at Augsburg in future Aside from the obvious advantages of sitting outside in a two hour goose-ﬂesh drizzle and “putting away" enough peanuts to give one permanent acute indigestion, there are many subtle pleasures like watch- ing that 200 pound Gustie tackle “take down" our medium weight line men. The vague thrill (chill) which one feels as numbness creeps slowly from toes through arches, ankles and up to the knees until when you stretch at the half you think your legs are wood. Then there’s the ex- hilerating feeling of being hunched up on the bleachers With an assort- ment of coats on your back and try- ing to peer through the opening in the collars. While one is enjoying the game from 697 Row Z this clas- sic comes to mind. Lives of football men remind us, We like them can push and tug, And departing leave behind us years. Alice Buckatmm.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER It, 1939 Chapel Challenges They that are with us are more than they that are with the enemy. 0 We must learn to see with the eyes of the soul so that we may be aware of the great possibilities that there are. If we go to Jesus with our questions, we can be sure to receive that helpful, encouraging answer. “Except one be born anew, he cannot see the king- dom of God." a “God so loved the world, that He gave His only be. gotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life." Kostic Komments One of the most stirring challenges confronting our generation is the call to enroll as intelligent partici- pants in the life-and-death struggle against war. The task is a tremendous one and it demands the clearest thinking. the rarest kind of courage, and the most sus- tained loyalty of which we are capable. No half-heart- ed or passive measures will do in a struggle whose ﬁnal outcome may determine the very fate of civilization it— self. Nor can we postpone action in this vital issue since the forces of propaganda are already at work seeking to create a state of mind conducive to partici- pation in war. Future generations will help sling-ing reproach upon our generation if we fail them on the issue of war. War is crime, mass suicide if you will, and we cannot sidestep an issue that will mean the de- nial of all that is worthwhile to posterity. In its ﬁnal analysis war is a state of mind and the most powerful factor giving rise to such a mentality is propaganda. “Give me two weeks and the proper machinery and I'll change the so-called mind of the American public on any given subject." This statement came from George Creel, head of the United States proe paganda department during the World War. His com- mittee sold America on the slogan of making the world safe for democracy and the same techniques and methods may serve as precedents to sell America the idea of sav- ing the World from totalitarianism. Besides the press and the movie very eﬁective weapons in the last war, .I still deadlier weapon has been added to the reportoire of the propagandists, the radio. Nearly all have access to a radio, and it is quite generally agreed that the spoken word has approximately ﬁve times the effectiveness of the printed word. The propagandist with such a weapon at his disposal has one of the most efﬁcient single agencies to mould the public mind in the interests of war. With the enemy so Well entrenched we cannot help but wonder if continued peace has any chance of success. Fortunately there are an abundant number of oppor- tunities for each individual to take an effective part in a peace crusade. We can beat the propagandist at his own game. We, too, can use the very same agencies to mould the public mind in the interests of peace that the propagandist uses to create a war mentality. Dis- cussions, lectures, letters to newspapers, congressmen, and friends, the radio, the movie—all these are avail- able as avenues of approach to the public mind. But a further step is required if public opinion is to do« minate government policy and that is appropriate or gsnization. Continuous pressure must be brought to bear upon public oﬂicials to counteract the propaganda of armed preparedness and chouvinistic nationalism. —1. E. H.

Augsburg at one tlmE led by the score Of 9-0. but commit- ted costly bubbles when they really counted for the down-river gang. Art Botten. rookie catcher from Seattle. displayed the abilities of a veteran catcher both in his hitting and his work behind the plate. The whole team was hitting slightly better than usual, being led by Hoyt Messerer, who got three hits in four trips to the plate. Augsburg and Hamlinc came out even in two conference baseball games played on May 17 and 18. re- spectively. On Wednesday after noon. May 17, the Augs journeyed to Hanlline and took the Pipers into camp. 10.8, in ten innings. Jim Gron- seth broke it tie in the tenth inning by a home run with a runner ahead, and won his own ball game. Jim ale lowed the Pipers eleven hits, but was kept in the game by good hitting on the palt of his team mates. )Ies» screr. ﬁrst man up for the Augs, led off with a home run, and his mates pushed three more men across before the inning was over. Messerer hit another homer later in the game, and George Anderson also connected for a round trip. On Thursday afternoon at the Veterans' Field the Auggies helped Ace Hoberg to a 51 lead in the seventh inning, but then the Pipers started to connect and tallied twice in the seventh, once in the eighth, and three times in the ninth. to win 7-5. The Auggies collected twelve hits to Hamline‘s ten, but failed to capitalize on them, having ﬁfteen men left on bases. Hoberg pitched good ball in the ﬁrst seven innings and was re- lieved by Michelson in the eighth. Augsburg stayed (III a late rally by the St. Mary's baseball team to defeat the rcdmcn 8-5 on Friday af- ternoon, May 5. The victory was the second for the Augs and gave them a .500 average in conference play. George Anderson pitched good ball in the tight spots and with good sup- port at the plate won the game. in spite of the fact that the visitors got twelve hits to Augsburg's ten. Gordon Captains Basketball Quint The old Messerer to Gordon play clicked again at the all-school honor banquet when Hoyt Mesurer, retir- ing basketball captain, passed the torch. emblematic of the captaincy. to Roy Gordon. captain»elect. With that torch went the conﬁdence and trust of Augsburg’s basketball players. No better place could have been found to lay these responsibilities than in the hands of big, likable Roy Gordon. “Bull” has been active in student activities at Augsburg. In his three years here he has won six athletic lette ‘, has been president of his class, has been ﬁnancial secretary of the Students' Society, and has maine taincd a good scholastic average throughout. run hm... non Hume. Five outstanding athletes closed their careers at the end of the base- ball season. These players are Hoyt Messerer, captain of the basketball , team; Gerald Per- ;i son, captain of last year's baseball nine; Chester Hoberg, this year’s baseball cap- ltain; Henry Chap~ man, pint-sized bas- ,‘ ketball man, and t L o i~ r i n Dahlager. the lanky Starbuck product. This quin- tet represents one of the greatest ath- letic combinations to graduate in the last decade. They have not limited their achievements to athletics, but stand forth asa group that has excelled in scholar- ship and extra—curricular activities. In athletics these ﬁve men have participated in four years of basket- ball and, with the exception of Chap- man, in baseball. Chappie is holder of the coveted honor athletic trophy for this year. Two of the ﬁve athletes have se- curcd positions as teachers. Messerer has ﬁlled the opening in Kiester, e L Lnl’l‘n Dnhlzzer. Jensen’s Five-Hitter Swamps Pipers, 15-3 The Auggie diamondball squad con- tinued its winning ways at Hamline last Tuesday afternoon as it. trounc- ed the Pipers 15-3. Lloyd Jensen, cheerleading pitcher, was in rare form and struck out ﬁfteen men while giving up only ﬁve hits. He was well supported at the plate with Lindahl, Branes, Krohn, and Chap- man lending the Augsburg “More (lrcr‘s Row.” The Augs collected six- teen hits in all, one of them a long home run by Krohn. The Augsburg lineup was: catcher. Howard Lindah]; pitcher, Lloyd Jen- sen; ﬁrst base, Clayton Thompson; 0nd base, Merton Strommcn: short stop, Henry Chapman; third base, Al Branes; short ﬁeld, Karl Krohn; left ﬁeld, Loren Thorson; center ﬁeld, Curtis Larson, and right ﬁeld.

Gerald Person will be located in Chaska, where he will teach physical education and science. A sixth letterman, Lester Dahlen, has won four letters in baseball, is president of the senior class, and has been business manager of the Echo. Dear Mom, The girls stopped wearing bright colors since Professor Hagen said people wear bright colors in an eﬂ'ort to cover up the defects in their personali- ties. We gave our little playmate, Russell, a bow and arrow for his birthday. Now the only thing he hasn't got is Cupid’s curly hair. The only thing Linda's com- position teacher likes about banquets is the fresh aftcr din- ner mints that are served. Ruthie says it doesn't mat- ter if you don't have much competition if there isn‘t any- thing to compete for. Donald says it‘s surprising how many of the fellows are starting to write to the girls in their home town, now that summer vacation is coming. The difference between Augs~ burg girls and the nurses is that the nurses wear white stockings and have hard hearts. Marion didn’t want to go on the W. S. G. A. outing at Me- dicine Lake because the fellows weren't invited. —Juliannc. Off-Campus Expansion 0n WAA Program Paula Bruss is the newly elected president of the WAA. She was elected at a business meeting of the club which marked the close of the year's activities. The other oﬁcers for the coming term are: Mary Ann Eye, Vice-president; Ruth Gudim. secretary-treasurer; Muriel Quan- beck, sports recorder, and Helen Mohn, publicity and social director. The WAA plans to enlarge its program next year to include more activities for alt-campus girls. Netmen Tie Concordia Jr.; Lose to St. Thomas The Auggie netmen fought to a 3-3 tie with Concordia Junior College on May 16. Captain Kronstad led his team into the fray by blasting Groeb< ner 6-1, 6-2. Masted, No. 3 man, eked out a 7-5, 64 win over Koch, While Running and Carlson dropped their matches. In doubles Frykman- Johnson succombed 4-6, 2—6. Carl- son-Kronstad vs. Sharlund-Groebner provided plenty of thrills. Each took a set, 3A6 and 6-2, to tie up the match. The ﬁnal set was a ding dong battle, till the Auggies leveled the score at 10 all, and went on to win, 1210. Augsburg lost a match to the Tom- mies 6-0 last Tuesday. THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1939 WSGA Holds Outing At Medicine Lake Over forty girls from the Women's Self»Government Association attend- ed the outing at the Mission Farms at Medicine hke on Thursday after- noon, May 18.

Ingvald Rossing and Lucius Heusaer of Augsburg were in attendance at the last meet- ing. Lillehei Secures Luther’s Works Some time ago Professor Lars Lil- lehei, curator of the Archives, se- cured a number of volumes contain- ing all the works of Dr. Martin Lu- ther, including his translation of the Bible. This set of twenty—three vol- umns was published in Germany from 1740 to 1750. They were imported by Dr. Solo~ mon Henkel of New Market, Vir- ginia, and presented to his son. Sa- muel, who died in 1863. Rev. Abel Anderson of Muskegee, Mich, pur- chased them in 1880 from Henkel, and when he retired from the active ministry in 1919, moved to Minne— apolil, Professor Lillehei was able to purchase the books from the daughter. They are well bound, excellently printed and the text is genuine. This set of books should, according to Professor Lillehei, prove a valuable addition to Augsburg's Archives. Ermisch Writes Book Dr. Karl Ermisch. professor in church history and German, has been working for the past months on a commentary on the books of the Bible. The commentary will consist of a series of vest-pocket sized books of the Scripture: in which Dr. Ennisch has added some annotations to bring out more clearly the true meaning of the passages. He is now working on the Epistles and hopes to have them ﬁnished dur- ing the coming summer. after which he will start on the Gospels. | CLUBS ..

May 16, Augsburg stu— den and their professors “knocked or?" immediately after the morning chapel exercises and hiked in a body to Minnehaha Falls, a distance at over five miles. The Itudent body assembled en mane on the campus at 10:45 A. M. and marched in formation along the haul“ of “Ol' Man River" down to the Falls, stopping enroute to “shovel some in." Some of the more frisky oldsters scrambled up and down the steep river banks many times with- out tiringi Others, more romantically inclined, meandered on in couples through the winding by-paths along the river. The afternoon was spent in play- ing D-ball, football, volleyball, ten- nis, badminton, decktennis, horseshoe, swimming, hi 'ng, and other sports. In the late afternoon a picnic lunch was served to the hungry truants. The meal ﬁnished, the galavantcrs turned their shining sunburned faces homeward. Mehus Elected College President The newly elected president of Winona State Teachers' College is Dr. 0. Myking Mehul, a graduate of Augsburg, class of 1916. He suc- ceeds the late Dr. Guy E. Maxwell who died last January. Dr. Mehus was selected by the Teachers College Board from a total of seventy appli» rants. Dr. Mehus has long been an out— standing ﬁgure in the educational ﬁeld. After receiving his PhD. do glee (mm the University 0!

This, he very optimistically reasoned, will ultimately occur when the nations of the world have passed through the present period of rebirth which is pregnant with intellectual chaos. Then the democratic, independent, freedom-loving Czechs will resurrect anew the nation now temporarily overcome by its powerful totalitarian neighbor. This, asserted Dr. Bones, is because Czechoslovakia is at heart very de- mocratic, and democracy is the in- herent product of man‘s personality. In his own words he stated, “De- mocracy cannot die because it is in the nature of every man to ﬁght for the development of his personality.“ In concluding his forty-ﬁve minute address Mr. Benes evaluated the re- lative merits of existing governments, and closed by saying, “Democracy is morally, politically, and socially su- perior, and l shall defend it to the end of my life." Alumni Association Initiates Graduates Dr. John 0. Evjen, illustrious graduate of Augsburg is to be the speaker of the evening at the annual dinner and meeting of the Augsburg Alumni Association, which is set for Thursday evening, June 1.

Aussies Attend Mission Conference Making Christ's words, “Go Ye," a deﬁnite challenge to college young people was the keynote of the Stu- dents’ Missionary Conference held May 5-7 at Medicine Lake. This conference, which was organized last spring, is an intervdenominntional or- ganization of mission societies in the colleges of the mid-west. The need for workers in the ﬁeld was brought by Rev. Tanis, former faith missionary to Africa, and the necessity of individuals realizing their own needs was brought out in the talks by Rev. Rolf Syrdal of St. Olaf College. Inez Hinrichs and Harold Gl'indal were the respresentatives from Augs- burg. Said Mr. Grindal: “The con» ference had its inspirational value, but because of the differences in the groups represented the spirit of uni- ty and oneness of purpose was not reached as fully as desired. Among most of the Lutheran students pres- ent the desire for I Lutheran stu- dents' missionary organization was expressed.” Christensen Speaker At Theol.

The ﬁrst of these was a broad- cast from tho WCCO studios on Mun» day. May 8, at 6:30 P. M., the day of their return. On Wednesday, May 17, the choir sang at South High School in Minneapolis. Last Sunday they appeared in concert at the Nor» wegian Memorial Church in a pro- gram which included among its num- bers such songs as “Lover den Her- re," “Presentation of Christ," “Can- tato Domino,” “Why Rage Fiercely the Heathen," and “ 0 God, Hear My Prayer.” The choir was entertained at a for ception at the home of Professor 011* seth on May 15. Members of the group vied for prizes in musical con. tests and listened to recordings of their recent NBC broadcast. The party ended with the girls singing the Augsburg Song and the wholl- choir joining in singing the Augsllul'g Loyalty March. Upon the return of the L'ollcgc Choir and [he Choral Clull {rum ‘l'lt'll respective tours May it, the Stulluxm' Society sponsored a homecoming 11-- cuptinll for them. A1 ‘0 P.

PARKING The park across from school, Murphy Square, has become for many Augsburg students a pleasing environment in which to study, a place to eat lunch, a place to get sunklst, and a place to just loaf. At noon each day many stu- dents, eds and CU-EdS, can ,‘n‘ seen hurrying over, lunch in hand. to ﬁnd the shadiest spot in Murphy Square. Upon ax- ri\'ing the students are found to “ﬂop” down ln the green- sward oblivious of everything but the contents of their lunch bags. Eating is done in a re- clining position—Roman fash- ion.

In Closing, In this issue of the Echo, which is in all probability the last over which I exercise edi- torial prerogatives, I wish to express a few parting thoughts. Why publish a newspaper? For the institu- tion it becomes invaluable as a permanent rec- ord of the activities, developments, and achieve- ments of the school. It is a transcript of acade- mic life, and as such is of interest and value to students, instructors, alumni, the home folks, prospective students, and friends. It is a me» dium of publicity for student organizations and for the school as a whole. It is a laboratory experiment for the journalistically-inclined. It is the voice of the students. Guiding policies in the publication of the Echo should be, I think, maintenance of a free and uncensored press; freedom from political involvements; selection of well-balanced, repre- sentative, and high-quality material; utilization of student talent whenever possible, and above all, adherance to our self—imposed standard, “Seeing all things through the eyes of Christ." I recommend as essentials to future progress, that the Echo be expanded to a six»column, bi- weekly (and as soon as possible, weekly) publi- cation, that the editors be salaried, that addi- tional advertising space be carried, that more streamlining effects be employed, that all grad» uating seniors take out subscriptions, and that an intensive subscription campaign be carried on among alumni. A last word. I have appreciated the increased cooperation from the Echo personnel; the words of advice, criticism, cheer, and undeserved laudation from students and teachers; the pa- tience shown towards a rather imperfect pro- duct; faculty generosity in signing excuse slips, and the liberal contributions of wit, glue, scis- sors, pop corn, pie, and talent on “make-up" night. For the student body and for the Echo staff of next year, I wish a bigger and better and newsier paper. Marcy Ditmanson. Excelsior A noble spirit of discontent is a precious gift. Never should we be satisﬁed, for smug satis- faction breeds stagnation. Study the past, don’t regret it; concentrate on the present with all your powers; hope for the future and forget it. A school year has nearly passed. Have we ac- complished what we set out to do? Admitting failure is the ﬁrst step to recovery provided we move forward. Rationalizations and evasions only complicate an unfortunate situation. The next step is to regain an unclouded view of our objectives. Having our eyes ﬁxed on our goal we must strive, despite obstacles, to achieve that goal. Always remembering the adage “Not failure but low aim is crime." Temptation to swerve fronl high endeavor reacts in various ways on different men. It serves to make the strong man stronger, and utterly to destroy the weak. So temptations are valuable—-—if one knows how to use them. At the beginning of this year we set for ourselves high goals and now we are afflicted with the cheap allurements and apparently logical excuses of the last lap. Let us place all these hindrances aside and strive to follow Paul’s example, “Forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on to the goal.” AUGSBURG ECHO AUGSBURG Augsburg was builded. we were told long ago, in order that the spiri- tual awakening in Norway might win its way also here in the new land beyond the sea. The setting has greatly changed since that statement was ﬁrst made by President Georg Sverdrup. over. The process of Americanization has gone on apace. standards and ideals are changing. The immigration days are practically Educational Ecclesiastical alignments have been readjusted. Augsburg is no longer a training school almost an clusively for ministers, but has developed also a liberal arts college of four hundred students. follow. Time marches on, relentlessly, and changes Yet the fundamental aim of Augsburg is the same today as it was she is to be truly an institution of higher learning. But refusing supported for the same basic purpose: to further, through prayer and faith and service, the awakening and developing of true spiritual life. Augsburg believes that genuine Christianity is “the one thing needful,” for the individual and for the Church. To further that faith she lays down her life, day by day, in courageous work and witness. Other schools in our land—many of them—have a similar aim and ideal. Augsburg honors them, and prays God’s blessing on their work. But she does not believe that their work makes hers unnecessary. She knows that she is answerable to God for the measure of her own faith- fulness. The world has enough—too muchl—of the trappings of religion. But it is dying for the lack of genuine Christian life. In every area of life there is need for men and women who actually know Christ, and who will let their lives be the instrumentality of His Spirit. does not send forth such men and women, she fails. that she may do, however worthy, can atone for this failure. . it is good for nothing." salt have lost its savor . . If Augsburg And nothing else “If the Th strictly academic side of every school is of course important. Standards of scholarship must be high and challenging, or both the in- stitution and its students are betrayed. seventy years ago at its founding. So it is also at Augsburg, if Augsburg is still building and all her academic culture and training must be the spirit and power of the Living Christ. This is her very heart. Augsburg summons all her sons and daughters, and as many as will hear and heed, to dedicate themselves to the practice and propagation of the simple, vital realities of New Testament Christianity. And whenever a soldier falls in the her marching orders—for life. These are ranks, she bids that others in quiet faith take his place. and plant the banners forward. The Mail BOX To the Editor: The enlightening, slightly fact- distorting letter written by our magnanimous friend, the taxpayer, was most greatfully received by the department against which it was leveled. In this response counter charges just as fabulous and even more acrimonious could easily be made, but all this will be withheld in favor of a simple concrete reply. Then for the ﬁrst question. It concerns itself with Augsburg's rating in forensics in intercol- legiate competition. In response let it be said that the debate squad this year consistently main- tained a .500 average. This is true of all the Minnesota tournaments, and also of the Winﬁeld, Kansas tournament, where Augsburg not only participated in one non-de- cision debate, but in addition her men entered the verbal fray in three other nonvdecision debates and ten decision debates. Likewise in other forensic meets Augsburg has been very close to the top. In two tournaments this lear one of her men received rec- ognition as one of the leading de~ haters of the state, and only last Saturday the old alma mater re- ceived second place in the State meet at St. John‘s University. Then, too, the taxpayer erred in his arithmetic. After much deli- beration he calculates that only 12 students at the most are direct- ly afi‘ccted by the forensic depart- ment. This ﬁgure would be more correct if it were doubled, and still a plus sign could be added. From the third question asked, it may be concluded that the tax- payer did not attend the Augsburg- Gustavus debate which furnished a whole evening of entertainment for a packed theological lecture hall. In fact, several of the stu— dents and other late comers had to stand for lack of room. Lastly, the taxpayer very adroit- ly infers that the appropriations made to the Athletic department are approximated by the funds de- legated the Publications and For- ensic departments. This of course, is not so. Out of the student activity fee the Athletic depart» ment receives a total sum of not less than $3,000 a year, and the #Bcr’nhard Christensen. department of publications re- ceives $200 more than the forensic department. This does not mean that the Forensic department is an advo- cate of “status quo." If a revision of funds is desired by the student body in every department, any ﬁnal result will be gladly accepted. PALMER Wow, Forensic Director. BOOKS I Took His Hand, Hospital Mis- sion Sketches. Rev. William M. Hagen. Lutheran Free Church Publishing Co., 1939. Trans- lated by Rev. Kristofer Hagen. This unique little volume by Rev. William M. Hagen is a col- lection of narrative sketches taken from his experiences as a hospital mission worker. Through its pages we see a servant of God going from bed to bed in minister— ing to the spiritual needs of the sick. It was to those who had a waning interest in life and often a fear of death that he brought the Word of God. Through each sketch there is a gleam of light, revealing the stream of God’s saving grace com» ing into the hearts and lives of the sick. Rev. Hagen visited several patients in sanatoriums who were made to rejoice because their vision had been extended to in- clude a better life beyond. The style is very simple and di- rect, being interesting even to children. There is a spiritual vitality in each sentence that strikes home. The quotation and application of Bible passages is deeply inspiring. Included in this little volume is a biographical sketch of Rev. Ha~ gen by Dr. J. O. Evjen. This in< teresting statement of facts con- cerning the author reveals the fruitful life of service that he led in spite of difﬁculties. His son, Rev. Kristofer Hagen, translated and edited this volume as it is in its present form. Tak- ing into consideration the time and eﬁ‘ort it took to do this work, it has proved a truly worthwhile task. —Muraaret Chrialock. THURSDAY. MAY 26, 1939 Kostic Komments His majesty, King George VI, and her royal highneg. the moat gracious Queen Elizabeth, left their mum, home, and are now on an extensive tour that has thus far carried them through the largest British dominion, Canada, and will culminate in a brief visit to the United States. This is the first of its kind. Never in the writ. ten history of man has a British king stepped upon the hallowed democratic soil of the North American Con. tinent. But this journey, requiring months of intensive plan. ning and much arduous labor, is more than a friendly visit. It marks an attempt on the part of the Imperial government to counteract, and if possible to completely obliterate from the minds of all Englishmen, the ill effects resulting from unfavorable conjectures as to the future of the British Empire. This could not be done through legislation or by any other conceivable form of coercion. Such tactics have long since become antique. Only by lifting the crown into the public eye. and by stressing the symbolical value of the throne can this objective be realized. Concomitant with the former objective, there is also a collateral goal—that of strengthening the position of European democracies by subtely wooing the United States into accepting deﬁnite responsibility in the Eastern Hemisphere. This. it is hoped, will convince the totalitarian powers that England does not stand alone as a nation. and that she is in addition supported by her vast empire which embraces one-ﬁfth of the earth's surface and one-fourth of its population. Facts Of Interest “Gnothi seauton," enjoined the Greek philosopher— “Know thyself.” When the physical education depart- ment undertook an inventory of the interests and activi- ties of the students, they made a number of interesting discoveries. Here are a few of the facts they uncovered: Students designated interest in the following voca- tions: teaching, ministry, medicine, law, business, nurs- ing, ' ‘ , journalism, medical missionary, Ii< brary, chemist, dietetics, advertising, social service, li- brary techniques, forestry, embalming, music, chiroprac- tor, pharmacy, dentistry, missionary, and bacteriology. 4594 of the students are planning on entering the teaching profession, 20% the ministry, 7% business, 495% nursing and 23/4V: engineering. Two-thirds of the students are working for their own expenses. 30% of the employed students have their working hours between 2 and 10 P. M. 12 students are employed in full-time jobs. 12 are engaged in all-night work. 24 hours of school work is the maximum load carried by any student. 94% of the students are carrying from fourteen to twenty hours of school work. The favorite forms of recreation are, in order of pre- ference: skating parties, tobogganing, winter sports days, community singing, swimming, educational movies, ping pong, recreational hiking, volleyball, recreational movies. tennis, croquet, interclass basketball, badmin- ton, diamondball, and skiing. Most students prefer to watch basketball games. Next in preference are football, baseball, and tennis. Campus activities having the largest membership are: W.S.G.A., football, Augsburg College Choir, Mission Society, W.A.A., Choral Club, Norse Club, basketball, Augsburg Echo, band, Aristotelian Society, and foren< sics. Ofﬁces (presidents, vice-presidents, etc.) in student organizations total 133. One four—hundredth of the entire student body reports that he is now doing stunt night work. Least liked recreations, in order of dislike, craftwork, checkers, intramural football, collection hob- bies, pin darts, and aerial darts. are: Chapel Challenges The Church is looking for better methods, but God is looking for better men; God's method is men. U The things that matter are the things of eternity and not those of time. I God never lets those down who wholly trust in Him. . The Christian message is an invitation to enter into the life of God. I Nothing done in love is ever lost, whether it be a?- preciated or not. Q The mind is like the stomach. It is not how much you put into it that counts, but how much it digests.

Sports Commentator Lauds New Set-Up It was several years ago that Mr. Greene, an ace sports writer of the Minne— apolis Tribune, talked to the late President Sver- drup about in- tercollegiate foot- ball. It was dur- ing the time that President Colf— man of the Un‘ versity of Min- nesota made his ‘proclamation on football, in which he stressed the fact that football was playing far too im~ portant a part on the campus of the American college. President Sver- drup said on this occasion that he was glad that Augsburg was free from such a conﬂict. Since that year times have changed at both schools; Minnesota has grown to an immense size in buildings and student body. She has produced the very best foot- ball teams in the Whole country. Augsburg has also jumped ahead, by leaps and bounds, not only in build- ings, but also in student enrolment and certainly in athletics Today we have come to the point where o Chris- tian college has to come up to the standards of a state school in every respect or they have no reason to exist. iTribune Louis Greene Mr. Greene praises Mr. Pautz for what he has done to bring Augsburg back in the sports limelight with her sister schools. He stressed the fact that Pautz has taken every precau~ tion in the building of an athletic machine; he kept both feet on the ground when he introduced football just two weeks ago.

Because football has been intro- duced at Augsburg is no reason why Augsburg will fall down in any other sport. Mr. Greene said that Pautz has introduced football in such a way that it will not monopolize on the sport acticvities already established at our school. SMITH DRUG PRESCRIPTION DRUGGIST Tel.

Miss Gerda Mortensen, vicevpresi- dent for two years, was asked to be president of next year's convention, but declined the position. The convention theme was “What an be done with high ability stu- dents?" Dr. Barley o! the Univer- sity Testing Burma led the discus— sion. It was suggested that P. T. A. groups create scholarships for high ability students so that they might attend college. The group was then divided into sections. Waldemar Hagen of the University High School led the high school deans' group. Sister Eucharis— ta, president of the Collm of St. Catherine, led the college deans’ sec~ tion. Problems concerning dormitory life, building up of the honor system, social programs, eﬂective administra- tive procedure, and student orienta- tion were discussed. Friday evening, members of the group attended the symphony con- cert, at which Kirsten Flagstad was guest artist. Mrs. Carlyle Scott was the guest of honor at the dinner. She gave a talk on"With the Stars", in which she told of personal experiences with such guest artists as Kirsten Flag- stad, Ignace Paderewski, Richard Crooks. and Fritz Kreisler. New Student Drive Under Way During the opening days of the drive for new students, over 175 names of prospective students were received and are now on ﬁle in the Registrar's Oﬂice. Informative litera- ture and catalogues will be sent to these prospects in hopes that the en- rolment may reach 500 next fall. The Registrar’s Ollice reports num- erous telephone calls every day re- questing application blanks and in» formation from interested persons. The drive is under the leadership of A. B.

The lectures are given each Thurs- day afternoon in Room 2'7 at 4:30, and are open to all girls who are in- terested Several demonstration din- ners are being planned whereby the girls may carry out in practice the details learned in lectures.

The awards presented to the stu- dents are for scholarship, forensics, journalism, and music “The present system of awards will, remain the same," stated Harold Haugland, student body president; “but it will be extended to include the band and other activities hither- to unrecognized.” The committee on l,Augsburg Enters [State Football Intercollegiate competition in foot- ball will he resumed at Augsburg College next fall. A lecommendatinn to that effect. drawn by the Athletic Committee and approved by the Augsburg faculty, was given sancv tion by the Augsburg Board of Trus- tees which met at Augsburg on Thursday and Friday to make plans for the coming school year. Augsburg's decision to resume inn teroollegiate competition in football has been made in order to balance the physwal education program. .-\ug~‘~ burg, however, will continue to em» phasize Strongly her present program of “athletics and physical activity for every student," in keeping with the recent trends in physical educa- tion. The reintroduction of intercul- legiate football as an integral part of Augsburg's physical education program has been anticipated for some time and it is felt that it is awards has standardized pins, and keys, so that there will he no diﬁer- ence between those presented this year and those of future years, Some} prominent changes are: raising ofi the forensic requirements, recugni-l tion of the freshman athletes andl cheerleaders, presentation of goldl medals to senior choir members with four years of participation, silver medals for three years, and bronze for two years Chester Hoberg is in charge of the ticket sales, Thelma Emberson is chairman of the program committee, Marion Land of the general arrange- ments, and Lucius Heusser and Ver- non Blikatad of the publicity pro- gram. Seniors initiate New Gift Plan The senior class is inaugurating a new plan this year to leave a gift of money to Augsburg. Non-interest bearing promisury notes of whatever amount each senior will designate, and payable by one fifth of the amount each year for ﬁve years, will be signed by the members of the‘ class. This money is to be put into a building fund for the next new build- ing to be erected. Also included in the plan is the suggestion to future senior cla. es that they follow the precedent estab- lished by the class of 1939 to build for a “Greater Augsburg." The committee in charge of draw- ing up this plan is Marion Lund, sistance at 2720 Oakland Ave., Min- neapolis. chairman, Hoyt Messerer, Lori-in Dahlager, and Donald Holm.

Augsburg.- Wash Your Face This week is known as National Clean Up Week throughout the United States. Augsburg might have taken a hint, but she has not. Augs- gies take a delight ill complaining that their campus is small and situated in the city smoke zone, so naturally the College grounds are unat- tractive. Both of the statements are true, but the conclusion is entirely erroneous. There is no excuse for an unkempt campus. Rather these handicaps should be an additional stimulus to tidy the block. The contrast of the new dor— mitory with the messy school grounds leaves an impression not easily forgotten. The unfor— tunate situation has not been premeditated, of course, it has come about through a haphazard, indifferent, careless attitude fostered by lazi- ness. If it is true, as someone has stated, that physical condition is indicative of the mental state of an individual or a group, Augsburg must be in mental bedlam. In order to change its present surroundings the student body must: First, develop a hearty distaste for a slovenly campus. Second, take steps to remove the un- sightly mess. Third, exercise restraint in the future to maintain the advantages gained. Ef- fort thus expended in making the Augsburg campus a neater place in which to live would have a beneﬁcial pschological effect as well as a gratifying physical one. A Reaction To Inaction The Honor Banquet next week consummates the year’s social and organizational activities. We would do well to pause here and consider a few of the steps we can take in improving our extracurricular functions for the coming year. What we need next year is not more activi- ties, but more activity. We must work for quali- ty rather than quantity. Our program will be intensive rather than extensive. We look for visible, tangible results from our organizations. We want, therefore, capable and aggressive leadership. C0Show less

The Freshman Class has contributed quite a representation this year along with the men back from last year. About thirty track uniforms have been issued by the track manager, Boyd Lein. The weather has not per- mitted the men to work out on South High's cinder track, which has been obtained for Augsburg‘s use. Augsburg is not yet a member of the Minnesota State Conference in in- tercolleginte competition in track, but she does expect to enter men in the various meets in the state during the AUGSBURG ECHO Ode to Nelson Myron Nelson, has rendered anuable necessary Augs« b u r g as bu- b n S e— track, and trainer. is of nature that it require: a good deal of time regardless of the amount of injuries that may occur.

Although the team did not “come home with the bacon,” their presence was keenly felt by all the contestants. Paula won her ﬁrst round, and Paula and Irvin won their ﬁrst doubles match. The beam was composed of the winners of the all-School budmin~ ton tournament on the campus. Augsburg Athletes THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1939 Quo Vadimus?

The team is at present having dif- ﬁculty in securing a coach.

Victim No. three is Hoyt Messerer, captain of Augsburg’s ’38-'39 basket- ball team. On March 26, 1939, Mr. Messerer became engaged to Miss Leone O’Halloran, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William O’Hallorun of Chaska, Minn. — Messerer’s home town.

Rose- land who at- tended Augs— burg for two years and who is now at the University of Minnesota, has ﬁled for the Aldermanship of the Seventh Ward in Min- neapolis. Paul is the son of Rev. L. I. Rosebud, assistant pastor of Cen- tral Lutheran Church, and is perhaps the youngest of the several hundred candidates seeking municipal posi- tions in the coming election of May 8. last week he appeared before the United States history class at Augs- burg and related some of the experi- ences he encountered while studying in Mexico last summer. He is now a junior architecture student in the Institute of Technnology at the Uni- versity. When asked concerning the pres- ent situation of our city he said: “It is up to the Christian youth of our city to see to it that this town is run right. We must ﬁght to raise the standard of morality and decency lest we find the forces of evil dictat- ing the civic policies of tomorrow. It is a shame in this city of church peo- ple that we should be cursed with the menacing liquor problem Would that the politicians with their petty in- trigue could be turned out of office and fearless men of high principles be returned to lead Minneapolis along more sensible paths." Paul Roseland has appointed Lucius Heusser, a member of the Junior Class, to be his campaign manager. Mr. Roseland is the second Auggie son to seek a position in the next elec- tion, in that Dr. C. M. Roan, who graduated with the class of 1901, has ﬁled for the high position of Mayor of Minneapolis, Committees Plan Freshmen Party Plans are now in the making for the freshmen party which is sched- uled for Friday evening. April 14. A freshman class meeting was held at which these committees were elected: For general arrangements, Phillip Helland. Ethel Bjornson, Jane Somerville, and Roy Erickson; re» freshment committee, Florence Bor- stad. Ruth Berg. Howard Lindahl, and Vernon Blikstad. The program committee will be appointed by the President. Phillip Helland. Press Club Elects Rossing President The Press Club has made known the fact that they are completely re- organizing, and have started a mem- bership drive open to all interested in journalism and with an ability to write. The membership in the club is to be restricted to twenty. and only those recommended will be accepted. The Press Club is organized to furnish practical experience for those interested in news writing, and to provide for the public press news about Augsburg, its students. and its activities. The club sends news of Augsburg to home town newspapers, At a recent meeting of the club the following oﬂicers were elected: Pres- ident, lngvald Rossing: Vice Presi- den and Secretary.

In its fulness Easter proclaims anew the eternal victory of the Prince of Peace over all the evil forces within the universe, even the originator of iniquity, the devil. No person need now struggle under the bondage of sin. If he is in sin, it is because he so desires. But to many the Easter message means no- thing. It is mockingly put aside or else scoﬂing- ly heralded as a plausible narrative struck off by an ingenuous imaginative mind. In short, Easter is regarded by some as absolute foolishness. Much argumentation, however, at this point will not prove convincing. Instead it will in- variably lead into deeper skepticism. The spiri- tual cannot possibly be understood by those who are not spiritually minded. Men are not omnis- cient. "Their minds are ﬁnite. But to such people. whether they be at Augs- burg, in Christian congregations, or in the world at large, the Scripture through the Holy Spirit seeks to impart a singular message. It is found in John 7:17. “If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God or whether I speak of myself." This is the acid test of the Bible. You who disbelieve, subject this formula to experimenta- tion. record the data, and observe for yourself if it vindicates skepticism. This is a challenge, will you accept it? Debtors - Why ? At Augsburg, as at every other college ill the spring, many events and extra expenses oc- cur that require payment of hard earned money. Those who have to collect these fees look forward to their task with as much enjoyment as those assessed. The students know that these hills, which are usually less than one dollar, must be paid sooner or later. Most of them seem to pre- fer later to sooner, and so all the more work and worry for the collector which could be so easily avoided. If each one of us could be assigned to be responsible for a collection of some fee and be required to have the money in by a certain date, most of the slow payers which are so pre- valent on our campus would be quickly abolished. The treasurer‘s ofﬁce has books to close and balance at regular intervals and all the out- standing bills make more work for the book- keepers. There are many, it is true, who are ﬁnancially embarrassed at the time the bills are due and it is not to this group that this is di- rected, but to those who have the money but don’t pay up. They seem to take joy in giving different excuses every time they are accosted by a collector. Don’t think a monetary agent enjoys his position of pestering you for your debts, it is no fun. The best policy for one to follow is to obey the Golden Rule in respect to your bills as well as your living. A real Christian life is one in which selﬁsh ambitions are done away with. Christ’s love includes all mankind. No one is ex- cluded unless he excludes himself. “Having loved His own he loved them unto the end." AUGSBURG ECHO KNOWING GOD If we search for God as an object among other objects. we fail to ﬁnd Him. If we conceive of God as enthroned somewhere in the “blue inane" or beyond the stars, modern astronomy projects Him far beyond the reach of our ut- most thought. not the object of thought. lectual knowledge. Human wisdom cannot ﬁnd Him. Knowledge of God is not intel— We are the objects of His grace. He is Only as penitent and believing recipients of His saving love can we have an immediate experience of what He is. “Ye have known God," says Paul in writing to the Gala- tians. God." But he adds, “or rather, have come to be known of This “or rather" turns us from the abstract cogni- tion of humanism to the “existential knowledge" of the Christian. We cannot ﬁnd God by searching for Him with telescopes or miu : Nor by rational reﬂection. True knowl» edge of Him is His gift to us, appropriated by faith. The Gospel is not the report that some one has discovered God. in Christ to us. darkly as in a mirror. It is the good news that God has revealed Himself The human intellect knows only in part— Unless We have experimental knowledge of Him as our Savior, He is only a projection of our own mind, an idol of our own making. But if it is the knowledge of a full sur- render to Him and the humble acceptance of His loving- kindnesa in forgiveness and the gift of eternal life, we may look forward in the cherished hope of Christian trust to the day when we shall know even as we have been known. —C. J. S. Student Symposium To the Editor: Some time ago students of Augs- llurg were kindly asked to refrain from walking across the lawns while the grounds were still wet. Yet many students disregard this request. For example, they dash madly across the grounds, heedlessly ignoring the board walks which were placed on the edges of the green. Students have forgotten how nice it is to have the greens in good con- dition when warm weather sports come. We want to be proud of our campus grounds; therefore, let us co- operate by following the rules which have been set up. 7'11"? who walks the planks", ..;.- To the Edilm': A forewal'd looking, greater Augs- burg can never cease making internal innovations. If she does curb her progressive march into new and ever expanding ﬁelds of knowledge by pcl'- mitting conservatism to obtain an upper hand, her future is ruined. She will then become stagnant, nonAcon- tributive, and ﬁnally she will expeiu ienCL‘ the hazardous late of many other denominational institution.»— complcte dissolution. We have no assurance that this tragic end cannot happen to Augsr liui'g, but we do know that it need not occur if she remains alert. responsive to the majority, and readjusts helm self constantly to a changing environ- ment. This we believe she is striving to do. IN APPRECATlON At this time I wish to thank the regular Echo staﬁ for the support and advice they have so willingly offered to the inex- perienced group from the Jour- nalism Class who have had charge of this issue of the Echo. I also personally wish to thank those who made it p05- sible for me to have the privilege of acting as Editoriin-chief of this issue, and also to express my appreciation to the splendid work and cooperation I received from fellow workers of the Journalism Class. I especially want to express my thanks to Jane Somerville, Mary Ann Eye Marjorie Skolness, Palmer Wold, and Vernon Elikstad who served on the Edi aria] Stat? with me, and to Profes» sor Quanbeck, whose assistance was so helpful. Lucius Haussaa. Acting Editor—in—chief. Only recently the faculty agreed to extend the curriculum, and for this Splendid foreword looking move they deserve much credit. But there is another matter that should be given serious attention, As a student body we are isolated too much fro the ﬂuctuating pulse of public opinion. and rarely do we come into Contact with outside individuals who are the very incarnation of con- temporary knowledge. We are shel- temd and encompassed too much by custom and tradition. This situation is unquestionably a deterrent to growth. But it can be remedied by endorsing and putting into actual practice a monthly convo- cation hour which would be closely analogous to the convocation hour sponsored weekly by the University of Minnesota. At. such a convocation an outside speaker would be asked to present in, formation characteristic of his pro» fessional ﬁeld Whether it be music, politics, international relations, literae ture, arts, etc. All would be given for the beneﬁt of the student body. A well planned program of this type would make possible the appear, ance of not less than eight or nine professional outside speakers during the course of a school year. This would be a unique, valuable addition to the college curriculum, The reason why such a move is imperative in the near future is simply this: church colleges must keep abreast of the universities in contemporary knowledge otherwise their graduates will be unable to sur- vive the competition of actual life. Then, too, if church colleges progress slower than the universities they will fail to attract the prospective stu~ dents which could he theirs. —Allouymolls.

D. each generatioh has made journeys to the Holy land, and many book; h." been written about travels there. One of the most re- cent, delightful, and informative accounts of a pilgrim. age to the land of Palestine has been given to as by a modern English traveler. H. V. Morton, in his book “In the Stop: of the Master." In this book the author's guiding principle was to fol. low in the footsteps of Jesus and all far as possible to chart his routes and journeys and to bring together the rich history connected with the places he visited. The subject of his book is large and endless in scope, but the author deals only with those portions which a tracted him more than any others. He relates his visits to the most important regions and ancient landmarks found in the history of the birth of Christianity and the Life of Christ. He describes such places as Samaria, Galilee, and Jerusalem, as well as places having direct connection with Christ's life such as the Mount of Olives, Gethsemane, Golgatha and the Holy Sepulchre and pre- sent day memorials such as the Church of the Nativity. As he travels he recalls the events connected with the places as recorded in the New Testament. To make these pictures still more realistic, the book includes beau- tiful illustrations and maps for reference. Besides teaching history and geography, Mr. Morton connects present life in that country with past life and new facts with old ones. He was shrewd in his obser— vance of people as well as places. and gives us a picture of present day Christians, Moslems, and Jews of Pale- stine, describing his experiences and friendships with them. The book is unusual because it is written on such a unique topic, but it also has exceptional appeal to modern readers of Mr. Morton's inimitable style of writing. He is an easy, cheerful traveler who is understanding, sym- pathetic, observant and well informed. His brilliant imagination helps to make the connection between what he observed and what he read of these places. He has the rare power of being able to show us not only where he has been, but also what he has thought when hil emotions have been stirred. Some of the personal de< lights of his journey have certainly found their way into the pages of his book. The author is different, too, in that he has expressed in this book the thoughts and experiences which came to him as he traveled through Palestine. The New Testa- ment was his constant guide on the route, and to him- self in his life’s pilgrimage. His familiarity with the Gospel has helped him to present Jesus Christ as a very real, living, human being appealing to non-Christians as well as to Christians, personally and universally. As present day pilgrims we have this opportunity to be transported back to the days of Christ for a charming, personal and informal pilgrimage in the steps of the Master, THELMA EMBE‘RSON, Kostic Komments War clouds again touch the earth as Great Britain attempts to unify European nations still without the totalctarian orbit against further Nazi aggression. Her success in this unusual fete is promising. Already Hitler has lost some of his abominable audacity and his vituperation of other powers has become milder. He has now been compelled to feel his way a bit more cau- tiously. To crown Chamberlain's eﬁorts Poland has responded most remarkably to the created Triple Aliance which is to include Poland, France and its originator, Great Britain. It is also authentically calculated that the smaller central European powers will join. If this oc- curs, then the dream of the collectivists for a solid uni- ﬁed front in Europe against absolutism will be realized. But some believe that the solution of this international problem is not quite so simple. In fact, it is desperately dangerous some assert. Should Hitler now go forward war would be inevitable. In response to such argumentation it may justiﬁably be said that War is not so probable as is imagined. Hitler is a colossal bluﬁ', an “over-stulfed wind-bag." He will retreat in the face of opposition. His ignorance is not so great that he fails to recall the grave which the Kaiser prepared for himself, and he ‘is conscious of the fact that he may be destined to a similar fate. This is not a personal singular analysis, but it is based upon the conclusions of international writers and commentators. With this in mind, therefore, permit optimism to expel pessimism since once and for all it appears as though nations are awakening from their slumber. PALMD't Wow Chapel Challenges God speaks as a voice of duty. If we have heard. can we close our eyes to duty? As He loved us, we should love one another and be deeply concerned with those about us. No one can know the fellowship of His suﬁ’crings who has not come to know the power of His resurrection. God is the enduring strength of a human soul. When we have chosen Him we live in the marvel His choice of us.
