The slump ended almost as ab- ruptly as it had begun when the Augs met St. John’s and brought home a walloping 33-69 victory. Vir- gil Gehring. who as usual hit oyer fifty per cent of his shots. garnered 27 points to set a post-war individ- ual high at Augsburg. Don Reimer and Bruce. Johnsomeach collected 12 points and Laurie Balzer hit 10. After their ﬁrst four conference games the Auggies had a thriller against non-conference opposition. Traveling to Carleton they had trail- ed almost the entire game when. with less than a minute to go. Jim Kottom sank a ﬁeld goal which tied up the game. Then with only twenty seconds remaining Jerry Davis drew a foul which he thereupon converted winning the game 57-50. In the i r remaining conference games the Auggies face the tough- est conference opposition. Hamline, St. Mary‘s. Gustavus. Duluth, Con- cordia. St. Thomas, and Macalester, any one capable of providing an cxceedingly busy evening, are on the schedule. Fortunately. however, ﬁve of the remaining games are at the Minneapolis Armory with only three on foreign courts. Especially pleasing is the fact that Augsburg will not this year face St. Mary’s Augsburg Bulletin—THREE IS on the Redmens court not will they be obliged to face St. Thomas at O'Shaughnessy Field Home. Two games with Hamline are in- cluded on the basketball menu and needless to say a good many minds entertain the delicious thought of upsetting l’lutton’s mighty basketball machine. Last year the Auggies came within four points of doing it. los- ing 45-41. This year they have the udyantagc of a return game at the Armory. If the Auggies should man. age an upset . . . well let’s not let our dreams carry us away.—J. B. INDIVIDUAL SCORING FOR AUGSBURG'S FIRST TEN GAMES Name Pos.

There are many ways in which the Alumni of any col- lege help their Alma Mater. One of the most pronounced ways is by donating gifts of money. We all agree that there is something deﬁnitely concrete about this method. In some ways this may be the most im- portant type of contributing. However, in addition to giv- ing money through the Augs- burg Foundation, do you real- ize that you can do other things? Of these the most im- portant is talk i n g to your friends about Augsburg. con- stantly keeping in mind that there may be some prospective college student who may come to Augsburg because of your inﬂuence. We have people as- signed to the job here on cam- pus, but that alone isn’t enough. A few people cannot begin to cover the ground that a large group of Alumni can. Remember that by saying a few words for your school, you may be instrumental in bring- ing someone here. If you know of anyone who may be inter- ested, send their name to the Public Relations ofﬁce, in addi- tion to talking to them. 1 'oovooooo’o'OOOCOOOvo’ovo'cocooovo’00"0'toto'0',ooooooovwovoooo'o.o"'.ovo"v'ooo The Bulletin of WW WWW SW 8th St. and 21“ Ave. S.

Augsburg Foundation Report The Augsburg Foundation, a new emphasis on the A.F.F.. has been in effect now since about De- cember 8. I950. The responses have been coming in quite regularly, but there is room for many many more. Letters and pamphlets have been sent to all the members of Augs- burg's Greater Alumni Association and friends who have belonged to the A.F.F. The Foundation will be a continuous project of our Greater Alumni Association for years to come. New members will be added year after year. If you haven't al- ready sent in your pledge card. do so as soon as possible. The minimum pledge is only $10.00 per year pay- able in just about any way you de- sire—monthly, quarterly. or yearly. The income derived from the Foun- dation goes directly toward the oper- ating cost of Augsburg College. Augsburg needs your help now and this is one way in which you can make it possible for your school to assure a continuous Christian de- velopment of our youth through edu- cation. So, former Auggies. let us stop for a while and consider the values that a Christian College— most of all, your school, has to offer our children and our friends' chil. dren when they enroll in the future. The total pledges and cash that you have sent in to the Augsburg Foundation up through january 23 is $696. Our ﬁscal year ends june 30. Send in your pledge card now.

Show morePresident Christensen Attends N L E C President Bernhard Christensen at- tended the National Lutheran Edu- cational Conference and the Conven- tion of the Association of American Colleges held at Atlantic City. New Jersey. January 7 to 10. At the NLEC Dr. Christensen pre- sented a paper on the subject. “Ways of Developing the Spiritual Life of College Students." Some of the phases of college life stressed in the paper were the following: the chapel serv- ice. the general spirit of the instruc- tional program. the social and extra- curricular program. courses in Chris- tianity. the work of the college pas- tor. and the program of voluntary religious activities. “The most important single fac- tor in the religious program of the college." said Dr. Christensen, "is a group of consecrated faculty mem- bers li\ing in deep fellowship with God and anxious both to win stu- dents to the Christian life and to deepen their life in Christ. A second factor. of almost equal importance. is a strong nucleus of spiritual mind- ed students. themselves growing in the Christian life and exercising an effective influence upon the whole campus community." At the Convention of the Associa- tion of American Colleges the main subject of discussion was the prob- lem of the relationship of college enrollments to the national defense effort. A comprehensive and strong "Declaration on Manpower" was adopted by the Convention and a committee elected to make represen- tations to the Department of Defense and to Congress. Already. as a re- sult of these actions. the way has been opened for many students to remain in college throughout the current year. Every effort will he made by the Association representa- tives to inﬂuence the enactment of a program which will serve both the highest interests of the nation through carrying forward their education to as high a level as possible. This is a crisis period for all the colleges and we can expect the Alum- ni and friends of each institution to rally round it in loyal support to meet the grave problems confront- ing it.

Last year the. season was charac- terized by a somewhat slow start and a ﬁnish good enou h to place the Au s in third place hind liamline an: St. Thomas. During the present season the Auggies started slowly. losing four out of their ﬁrst eight ames. The losses. however. were to rat class teams such as Wheaton of Illinois and Luther College. Prog- nosticators have the Auggies wind- ing up the present season as sole r of third place in the MlAC to complete the pattern started last year. Neither Coach Anderson nor the players. however, would shed a tear should they upset the dopesters. As a matter of fact the only pattern they are interested in is the pattern of winning basketball which they in- tend to pursue in attaining an even better standing than last year. Cur- rently they are sharing second place in the MlAC with a veteran St. Mary's team and the surprising Gus- tiea with a three win, one loss rec- ord. So far this year the bulk of the work has been done by a nucleus of nine players each owning a generous share of the scoring honors. (See statistics on page 8.) One of the big guns in the. well i ' balanced Au gie offense is Don liei- mer who lea s the ﬁeld with an aver age of 12.7 points per game for the season. Virgil Gehring, freshman center from Waseca. is second with In 11.5 per game average.

Jerry Davis. and Donald lick- buff. l‘lruce Johnson. who began his col- lcgc basketball career at Augsburg last year. is continuing in excellent form. Famous for his one-handed push shot from the side-stripe Bruce’s per game average is 9.9 almost a point better than he averaged last year. Laurie Balzer. the squad's best playmaker. is still thrilling crowds with his sensational ﬂoor play and has a 7.9 per game average. lie is also a sophomore. The most rugged player on the squad is Jim Kottom. a junior. who is one of the squad's best defensive men. Dave "Hatchet" l'lagcrt. another defense expert. has shown this year that he can also hit the hoop from his guard position. Dave is. perhaps. the most improved player on the squad and has either started or seen a good deal of action in all of the games played to date. Enjoying a comeback is Richard “Marty” Martinson. who was a ﬁrst- stringer two years ago but found himself in the background after last year's influx of freshman talent. Mar- ty has shown a good deal of improve- ment and in ten games has averaged almost ﬁve points per game. Jerry Davis. who Contracted polio about the time of his high school graduation, has been playing "ii" team ball for the last two years and now appears to have regained his coordination sufficiently to play yar- sity ball. He has improved a great deal and at present is doing an ex- cellent job as reserve center. A freshman last year, Don Ecli- hofi played "B" team ball but now ﬁnds himself seeing action regularly. A guard. he has played in six of the ten games played to date. Some. of the highlights of the sea- son include a successful defense of Augsburg's Wartburg Tournament Championship, and. in conference play. the shellacking of Concordia, St. Olaf, and St. John's. AUGSBURG COLLEGE- ARCHIVES Although the Auggies were defend- ing champions at the Wartburg Tour- nament this year. the three other participating schools had counted the loss of Ron Lund.

As a result the Auggies found themselves facing a team in the ﬁ- nals which had beaten them twice during earlier pre-season play. The two previous losses to Luther had been by scores of 62-52 and 56-47. in the championship game that fol- lowed. the Auggies administered a Til-1‘) shcllacking to the Norsemcn and won their second consecutive Wartburg championship as four Augsburg men hit the double column in scoring. Freshman Virgil Cchring led the pack with 17 points hitting 3 out of 10 ﬁeld goal attempts. Don Reimer had 13 points while Dick Martinson and Laurie Balzer each garnered 12 points. The game was won in the second half after the Auggies had held a narrow 25- 24 lead at half-time. in conference play the Auggies got off to a good start by dumping Concordia 74-50 in the Minneapolis Armory. Don Reilner with 15 points and Dick Martinson and Jim Kot- lom with 12 points each were the heroes. in the following game against Gustavus the Auggics found them- selves in their worst slump in two seasons. With everything going wrong they dropped the game 67-57.

Opseth. known to many as “Oppie”. Seldom has a ﬁgure appeared on the campus who was as well known and as deeply loved as he. His memory will remain long in the hearts of students. faculty. and alumni. Professor Opseth was individualistic in presenting his sacred choral mu- sic. He firmly be- lieved that music. if interpreted rightly. could break down any barrier a per- son might have to- ward our Lord and Savior. One of his favorite songs was "Go. Song of Mine” by Elgar in which the C h o i r sings, “Co. song of mine. to break the hard- ness of the heart of man!" This thought expresses Opseth’s philosophy of music Hmav P. OPSETH 7 that music can create such a feeling of helplessness within the listener that he is led to accept the help and guidance of God. Many of us have had our lives enriched because we knew him. We will never forget him for it. Mr. ()pseth began his sen ices at Augsburg in the fall of l‘)22 as head of the music department. In addition to the duties involved in such an office he directed the Augsburg Glee Club. the women‘s Chorus, and taught classes. After eleven years. Opseth founded the widely known Augsburg College Choir by combining the Glee Club and the Women’s Chorus. Since that time the Choir under his direction has achieved growing rec- ognition in its appearances in many major cities and conununities throughout the, l'nited States and Canada. The Choir has presented programs of sacred choral inu- sic as far west as Vancouver. ii. (1.. Canada. and east to Detroit. Michigan. Professional music critics regarded him with respect. Mr. llilmar Crondahl, music editor of the Portland Oregonian remarks, "In a day which fancy effects tend to dominate much group singing. it was refreshing to listen to singing in which the voice, not overtrained, was put to uses which, in consequence, could give the most velvety natural texture to whatever it was assigned. “in Henry P. Opseth’s handling there was nothing arti- ficial. nothing alien, nothing overwrought in the kind of tone. harmonization, dynamic, tempo, or music used. The very simplicity of this group and its singing con- tributed more than a little to the total beauty of their concert:7 Hundreds of Choir alumni will never forget the short but very helpful talks delivered by their director during rehearsals. About once every three weeks he would take time out and have. a “heart to heart” chat with his stu- dents. Every word spoken by him was deeply impressive. He often spoke these thoughts: “Always be ﬁrm in your convictions. I dislike a person who balances himself on a fence. never going all out for what he believes is right. I have more admiration for a person who is apparently wrong in his beliefs, but who himself is convinced that he is right. Take the Apostle Paul for instance. Before he was converted on the road to Damascus, he was a merciless tyrant against the Christians, but later he was one of the greatest men ever to live under the banner of Christ. Be like that either one way or the other. I have no place in my heart for ‘wishy-washiness!’ ” That was "Oppiel'iloved and respected by all who knew him. He received mueh satisfatcion in going out of his way to help others. There are countless music students who have left the halls of Augsburg with a feeling of deep gratitude towards him for the time and effort he gave to imprme their ability and technique. When asked. "How can I ever repay you. Oppie. for what you have done for me?” he would reply, “Find yourself in music. and do the best you can. That is all I ask!H For many years he was active as director of many Twin City church choirs. For twelve years he directed the. Broadway Covenant Choir. He was called upon many times to direct combined choruses at various music fes- tivals throughout the state and was conductor of the Luther League Choir at Medicine Lake, Minnesota. dur- ing their National Conventions. Augsburg will carry on. but will never forget him. Be- cause of him the school has been enriched beyond meas~ ure. On Wednesday. December 27th, 1950, the Henry F. Opseth Music Memorial Fund was established. The mem- oriams that have and are being given will be used toward improving some part of the Music Department.—K. 5. There is a limited number of albums of the Augsburg College Choir still available directed by Professor Henry P. Opseth

Of course, since the composition of the team is mostly Freshmen, we aren't going to go out on a limb and forecast a Championship outﬁt yet. They have much experience to garner—and the test of a winning team comes when they run up against the leaders of past years: Ham- line and St. Thomas. But things are looking up athletically. That is deﬁnite. It is a pleasure to watch individual stars of high school days being molded into a smooth functioning team. Each game has found these "stellars" go- ing to newly found heights—and they love it! They are not a big-headed squad; rather they are most modest over their accomplishments, and always concerned over their errors. In the last Bulletin, I promised you some fancy basketball, barring unfore- seen events. It has come to pass, since never has this writer seen a group of X' ’5‘ “ youngsters with such natural maneuver- ability and all around generalship. Most members of the squad have uncanny "shooting eyes.” They can hit from any part of the floor. When these boys all decide to play ball on one night, then any- thing can happen. We’re going to string along with our ﬁrst impressions—that by the time the season is concluded, this team will be well along in the upper bracket of games won and lost. JOHNNY WERKET HAS SKATES WITH WINGS Johnny Werket, ’49, is doing it again! As in the past two winters, Johnny is now in Europe competing for specdskating honors with Europe's best. A few weeks ago Norway captured the international Kings cup meet, but our Johnny stole the show.

South speedskating championships which opened at Eskilstuna, S w e d e n, the following weekend. Winning the 1,500 meter event at all the meets in Europe is Johnny’s specialty. His European ice-skating career began in 1948 when he interrupted his college ca- reer to go to St. Mauritz, Switzerland, as a member of the 4-man U. 8. Olympic speedskating team, where he made the best showing of any American. But it was during his post-Olympic tour of the Scandinavian skating circles that he caused the greatest sensation. Termed “mighty mite" by the Norwegians, Johnny, who stands 5 feet 4% inches, performed the, phenomenal feat of defeating Norway's and Europe’s best in the International championships at Oslo in February of that year. From there he went to Helsinki, Finland for the World championships where he missed the title honors by less than one point. (Oddly enough, he was beaten by Odd Lundberg of Norway, who ate John’s ice at Oslo.) The huge crowd gathered in the Helsinki Olympic stadium handed Werket a greater ovation than ever accorded Paavo Nurmi, Fin- land’s greatest athlete of all time.

But though they have gone on. Augsburg's life and work will always be richer because of what they so generously gave. Isadora Anderson (35-36) was out As- hton: Regimr from 19394946. includ- ing the diﬁcult war years. She gave her- clf unsparingly no her work, with a faith- fulnen and eﬁciency that was a challenge tousall.Forthepsstthreeyearsshe held a very responsible position with the Minnesota Historical Association in St. Paul. Though her last illness was long and painful, she bore it with victorious faith in Grist and met death unafraid. Viola Danssrben Benson (53-34) of Kintyre. North Dakota. passed away after a brief illness following a serious opera- tion. She leaves to mourn her her hus- band. Rev. Hamar Benson. and three children. Viola spent only one year as a student at Augsburg. After completing her course at Valley City S. T. C.. she went on to teaching. and then to the busy life of the parsonage. Her strong and ra- diant personality and her whole life-serv- ice were dedicated to Christ and to His Church. Hundreds who learned to know her will continue to thank God that she passed their way. Rev. John A. "OM. '14 and '17. of Ashland. Wisconsin. was the Chairman of our Board of Trustees for thirteen years (l9jf-l94S). He bore a large part of the burden of planning for the build- ing of both Memorial Hall and the Sci- ence Hall. A hard worker. a devoted friend. an ardent supporter of the cause of Christian education. he made a ﬁne and an enduring contribution to Augsburg's life. The day following his sudden pass- ing from a heart attack an editorial in the Asbland Daily Press aptly and truly characterized his life as . . . "well round- ed. ﬁlled with service [or others. nsature In wisdom and gently understanding in personal contacts, crowned with self-dis- cipline and devotion to his pro/em'on and his people." He is survived by his wife. Agnes. and a son. Leif. an ensign in the Navy. From the vantage-point of death the values of life stand out in clearer outline. The witness of these three lives. like those of hundreds of other Augsburg men and women. challenge all of us to the high quality of Christian living which they exempliﬁed in so notable a degree. —Dr. Bernhard Christensen . .

John had suﬁered for some time from cancer of the lungs and as early as last September. it became just a matter of time for this great ﬁghter. John graduated from Minneapolis Roosevelt High School where he earned twelve letters and gained all-city laurels in both basketball and football. Matri- culating to Augsburg he became an all- state basketball and football player. Many of the older grads will remember how John scampered on the basketball court. controlling the ball almost at will and acting as player-coach for his team. After leaving college. John gained not- able success as athletic ooach at Blooming- ton High School. The love of the students for him as a coach and as a man was most evident when they came enmasse to at- tend his funeral.

AUGSBURG WELCOMES D. P. STUDENT At last they were here! It was the be- ginning of December and excitement ran high at Augsburg, for the person the students had waited for since the begin- ning of the fall semester had arrived. Only it wasn‘t just one person, it was two: Karlis Ozolins, the new D. P. stu- dent, and his wife. Sulamit, had just at— rived in Minneapolis from Germany. "I have wanted always to come to America,” stated Mr. Ozolins in his soft- spoken manner, "because it seemed to be the only country where people could live in freedom and peace.” Such fundamen- tal enthusiasm warmed the hearts of those who had worked long and industriously that a D. P. student at Augsburg might be possible—the National Student Asso- ciation on campus who fostered the drive for funds, and the school administration that agreed to provide a year's tuition scholarship. Fleeing before the onrush of commun- ism in their native land of Latvia in 1944, the Ozolins moved to Germany where he spent four years studying theology and she, languages, at the University of Mar- burg. At Augsburg he intends to ﬁnish some prerequisite courses and then enter the Seminary. Both have secured jobs as a means of becoming self-sufﬁcient and plan soon to start procedures for becom- ing American citizens. The warm-hearted gratitude and appre- ciation of the Ozolins was deepened when Leland Sateren runs over a number with several Choral Club members during a pro-tour rehearsal. in the true spirit of Christmas the Aug- gies presented them with all the gifts under the Christmas tree at the annual Christmas party in the gymnasium. The Ozolins were overwhelmed and Karlis commented before opening a big box con- taining a blanket, “We wouldn’t be sur- prised even to ﬁnd my brother—in-law in this one.” The present spirit of the Ozolins and a promise of their future worth is mir- rored in the words of thanks spoken by Mr. Ozolins at the welcome service for them in the chapel: Dear American Friends! After a long time waiting in Germany and after a little shorter time of voyage over the ocean I arrived on Sunday 4th of December in Minneapolis. The ﬁrst I saw through the window of my car was a beautiful sunrise over the town, that I understood as a sign of a new beginning in my life. Afterwards in the worship and Communion service in the Trinity Lutheran Church I got a very deep impression of this big point of my life. I want to express it with words of Revelations of St. Iohn, Chapter 21: "I saw a new heaven and a new earth.” I am very happy here in your country and I thank you for your kind help and the possibility you gave me to study and to lit/E here. Especially I thank Mr. and Mrs. Chris- tensen who helped me and help me in my ﬁrst steps. You must excuse me if I don’t speak good your language or if I am making mistakes against your customs and your way of life. Please correct me and tell me all things that I am doing wrong for I want to be a good scholar of this school and a good friend of yours. But God the Almighty does help me to lead a right way of life; be a serritor of God and men all my life long. (I know you had the intention to make a D. P. boy happy, but as you see it hap- pcnrd with two ,the second is my wife, Mrs. Ozolins.) —D.S. THREE RECOVERING FROM ILLNESS Miss Gerda Mortenson, Dean of Wom- en, recently returned from the hospital after spending a short time of rest there. Dr. Burntvedt, President of the Lu- theran Free Church, suffered a heart at- tack on January 26 while pushing his car trying to get it started. His condition is improving. Another on the list is Miss Ethel Inge- bretson, Assistant Treasurer.

Show moreTwo Heads Has Traveler Dehle ' vmca: nan“: Holds abs-sinke- head —Courteey Minneapolis Tribune SEVERSON APPOINTED UTAH PRISON OFFICIAL Alvin O. Severson. '17. was recently appointed permanent warden of the Utah state prison by the Utah State Board of Corrections. The appointment was made following the submission of a report by veteran federal prison ofﬁcial Severson recommending changes towards a better prison system for Utah. At the time he was in Salt Lake City on a 30-day "loan" from federal penitentiary at McNeil ls- land. Washington. serving as an advisor to the Board of Corrections. Hailing from Brandt. South Dakota. Severson was a star athlete during his stay at Augsburg. Upon his graduation in 19a7 he became athletic coach and principal at Milan. Minnesota and later was Superintendent of Schools at Hollo- way. Minnesota. and Northwood. North Dakota. He then went into government service where he spent nine years with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. His last post was being lieutenant at the federal peni- tentiary at McNeil Island. Washington. The grotesque object that Vince Dahle. '49. is toying gingerly with in the op- posite pose is probably just what you (in one of your worst nightmares) would rec- ognize it to be: a shrunken human head. It is just one of the things. perhaps one of the most sensational things. that Vince brought back with him from a couple season's stay in Colombia. South Ameri- ca. where he went last spring to study his selected topic of "Normal Schools" under the auspices of SPAN (Student Project for Amity Among Nations). On one of his ﬁrst days back home. Vince came breeling into our oﬁice with a small white box in his hand and a run- ning commentary of the political and so- cial Colombia in his head. The box he set on our desk and asked (with a casual smile quite misleading) if we wished to see its contents. He removed the cover. carefulIy unfolded the pink tissue paper and revealed. to our horriﬁed yet mor- bidly curious eyes. a small shrunken head with face of brown skin. and hair. eye- lashes and eyebrows of coarse black. The nose was broad and ﬂat and the full lips were sewed together with heavy thread. Then. while with the same amount of care he replaced the pink folds of tissue and the cover. he told us that he had re- ceived the head from a friend of his in Colombia who got it from a friend in Ecuador. Vince wasn't sure whether or not the head was genuine and while searching for a connoisseur of shrunken heads. he dropped in at the Star and Tribune Building in downtown Minnea- polis where he and the head caused quite a sensation among gaping spectators. If it's the real thing. he will give it to some worthy institution or to someone else. "l have no personal use for it." the Minneapolis Morning Tribune quoted him as saying. Vince stayed longer abroad than most SPAN students. who returned at the end of the summer. Last summer he narrowly missed the devastating Ecuador earth- quake by one day and later was caught in the midst of the political revolution in Bogota, Colombia. Then was when Vince decided to return to the United States— while "i was still alive and happy.’I His immediate plans for the future are indeﬁ- nite. —-D. S.

C. pastorate in Portland. Ore- gon. will assume the presidency of Oak Grove Seminary at Fargo. North Dakota. next July. Rev. Larson is well qualiﬁed for his new position. He spent his first two years (1931-33) of his undergraduate study at Augsburg College where he was active in athletics, especially basketball. He then transferred to the University of North Dakota where he graduated in 193$ with a major in history. In the fall of that year he enrolled in the Theological de- partment at Augsburg and graduated in I9)8. He was ordained after spending a year in graduate study at the University of North Dakota. His ﬁrst parish was at Mora, Minnesota. After a short stay there he resigned to enter the Chaplaincy of the U. S. Navy and shortly was assigned to the Paciﬁc theater of operations. Upon his release he accepted the pastorate at Portland. Ore- gon. Pastor Larson is to be congratulated for having been chosen for this important position in the work of our Church. Augsburg and her Alumni wishes him and Oak Grove God's blessings in the years that lie ahead. BOOK ON EXPERTS INCLUDES TWO AUG ALUMNI Dr. M. A. Helland. '13.

Show moreAugsburg Incorporates Home Economics MISS MARGARET KLINNER, Instructor in Home Economics Perhaps one of the most popular departments in the new Science Hall is the home economics depart- ment located on the ground ﬂoor. In all of its well lighted, colorful rooms new ideas in planning have been put into actual use. The large clothing and textile room at the south end of the department has rows of cabinets with cork covered sliding doors which serve a double pur- pose—both as doors and as bulletin boards. The six drop-leaf tables can be extended in length, or raised or lowered in height to make cutting and sewing easier for the students. A triple mirror in the ﬁtting space makes ﬁtting problems easy to recognize. Every- where one sees evidences of planning which makes work more enjoyable. The colorful, modern foods laboratory, one of the most used rooms in the department, has ﬁve unit kitchens, each planned for a different income level. (One kitchen has a dishwasher and garbage disposal unit.) This variation gives students experience in working with different kinds of equipment. Future plans include the installation of a laundry unit at one end of the laboratory. Next to the foods laboratory is the dining room, which is used by students in foods classes for the serving of meals, as well as by faculty and staff mem- bers and some campus organizations for certain social functions. In addition to the clothing and the foods labora- tory, the department has a large classroom to be used for other home economics classes, such as Child Care, Crafts, Art in Daily Living, and Home Planning and Furnishing. An interesting workshop, to be used by students in these classes, adjoins this room. Some people, no doubt, wonder why Augsburg College has given so much space and money for home economics equipment. At the present time there is a serious shortage of professional people in the ﬁeld of home economies. In recent years the number of ﬁelds in which home economists serve has increased, and there are more openings in each ﬁeld. Few people realize the scope of home economics. If one is interested in extension work, she may be- come a home demonstration agent, a 4-H worker, or a rural youth leader; if her major interest is in teach- ing or in research, she may become a teacher of high school or college students or of adults, or, if she pre- fers, she may become a nursery school director, a journalist, or a laboratory technician. The area of in- stitutional foods offers such positions as those of hos- tesses, tearoom managers, and dietitians; the area of textiles and clothing offers such positions as buyers, fabric testers, designers, and dressmakers. Decorators, home service directors, and food consultants are also in demand. Marriage makes a constant drain on the supply of these specialists since home economics is largely a woman’s ﬁeld. In order to alleviate this shortage prob- lem, the number of students majoring in home eco- nomics in colleges and universities needs to be in- creased. No other profession offers more variety in occupations and yet, home economics training does more than train for a career—by its emphasis on per- sonal, home, and family living, it prepares the stu- dent for living a richer and more satisfying life. Even though she may for a time be interested in a career, the ultimate goal of almost every girl is marriage. One would hesitate to open a business without several years of training and experience, yet each year many girls enter marriage with no directed training for homemaking. Good homes don’t just happen—they are created. No other art contributes more to the happiness of mankind than the art of homemaking. Because her training enables her to de- velop appreciations, attitudes, and understandings, as well as skills, the home economics student ap- proaches with conﬁdence the problem of one of the most important careers—that of homemaking. So far, students may graduate from Augsburg College with a minor or a non-professional major in home economics; however, plans are being made to fulﬁll the requirements for training teachers. AUGGIE ALUMNI ARRANGE WEEKLY LUNCHEON CLUB It is interesting to note the trend toward closer unity among grads of Augsburg in the downtown section of Minneapolis. The Public Relations department at Augsburg College began a series of telephone calls in an effort to locate and contact fellow Auggies who work within easy access of the "Y" so that they might meet once a week to enjoy the fellowship of the lunch hour. Three such meetings have been held and everyone present has expressed the desire that such an hour be made a per- manent thing. There is no program, no designs on anyone; merely a chance to get together and renew old acquaintances and new happen- ings at Augsburg. So you men who have not yet made your appearance, talte a chance and come. You must eat some- where; why not eat with your fellow Auggies? Remember, the place is the Y.M.C.A. building, the time is 12 o’clock noon on each Wednesday. We hope to see you and swell the ever- increasing number unending.
