That is why a great deal of consideration is given" to planning other activities for Augsburg students. Special student and faculty committees cooperate in order to coordinate a program which will be in accordance with the tastes and welfare of Augsburg students. Those activities are planned which will enrich student life and pro vide wholesome relaxation. First of all, many of the students' experiences cen' ter about religion and practical Christianity. There are daily chapel seryices which students and faculty attend. There are also special fellowship groups which seek,to further the spiritual life on the campus and which encourage participation in church and mission work in the city. One of the groups which affords Augsburg students fellowship with other Lutheran students of the Northwest is the Lutheran Student Association. Re cently Augsburg College was host to the Land O‘Lakes Region of this association. The picture in the upper right hand corner, which appeared in the Minneapolis Star-Journal, shows two Augsburg cor eds as they prepared for this event. The Augsburg College Choir is an organization which has gained national fame and recognition. The a capella choir of nearly sixty voices is under the able direction of Professor Henry P. Opseth.

At the head of the department is Miss Ruth Segolson, formerly an instruc' tor at the University of Minnesota. The pro, gram is one of home economics in general education and most classes are open to both men and women. Students who wish trainr ing for home economics as a profession will find courses which are comparable to courses offered in the first two years of institutions offering a major in home economics, and will need to transfer to such an institution for professional training. A variety of courses are offered for the young woman interested in homemaking and the solution of personal problems. The home economics program at Augsburg offers courses in nutrition, clothr ing selection and related art, home planning and furnishing, clothing construction, meal planning and preparation, home manage' ment, child care and development, consumer education, income management, and crafts. \ The picture above was part of a feature on home economics at Augsburg, which appeared in the Women‘s News section of the Minneapolis Tribune. It shows Miss Ruth Segolson, the home economics instructor, and several of the students comparing various color schemes for home decorations.

Those whose duty it is to counsel and guide young people know that their vocation offers them an ex cellent opportunity to exercise all the knowledge and skill of their profession. The feeling that he has helped to mold the character or direct the life of a young man or woman gives the instructor or counr selor a feeling of satisfaction and a sense of achiever ment. Such counseling requires the student and faculty cooperation illustrated by the pictures on this page.
