Mountain Missionaries Ministering to some of the most spiri- tually under-privileged people in our country is the Austin Wold (ya-)7) family at Donnelly. Idaho. They work through the Northwest Mountain Mis- sion. which has as its risotto "The Gospel to the Man Farthest Back." A recent let- ter bore testimony to the fact that the gospel wins its way also into the hearts of the children in the mountain areas. "Recently we were invited into a class of young people to answer some questions the boys and girls wanted to ask us. This was in one of our Minion stations north of Boise. Those young people asked us questions we had never been asked before. For instance: "How could GOD make the world out of nothing?" "How can GOD and JESUS CHRIST he the same?" "How can I know I have everlasting life?" These young people were around ten and twelve years of age. As a result of the time we spent with those young people, we went right into a little morn- ing service at the end of which ﬁve of those young people opened their hearts to receive the LORD JESUS as their Sav— ior! This was in our Mission station at Cascade." One Hundred Dollars a Foot No. that's not the price of ﬁtting an oddasized shoe to some Auggie Alumnus' oﬂ—sized four. It's the cost per linear {out of a tablr—thc kind of table going into one of the new Science Hall laboratories. Of coarse—the table is no ordinary struc- ture. It is equipped with gas. water. air. and all the gadgets necessary for scientiﬁc experimentation in the particular ﬁeld. Augsburg students will have the latest in modern equipment in an area which for years had been a little bit at least on the minus side. And every friend of our school is glad for the step forward—even at two a foot. Orders for equipment are already being placed. Deliveries these days require it. also the speed of construction of the new building. By publication date of this Bulletin the brick-work on the four stories will be practically completed.

He was not a disciplinarian— he didn’t need to be——since his earnest efforts to teach science to a sometimes confused class and his almost fatherly at— titude toward his students won him ad- miration and respect." —EAIu.

Show moreStop, Look and Listen! Visit Augsburg-"Where You Are "What shall we do for the next pro- gram?" is the question raised sooner or later by those who plan activities of any organization. In some cases lack of satisfactory answer means a lull in acti- vity, even a complete stop. (The Alumni Executive Committee gave most of its time at the January meeting to a discussion of this problem, and that of the Alumni Clubs in gen- eral. Five of the six members gave full at- tention to the problems, the sixth gave only about 25% or 50% [at times], he being an expectant father with his wife in a local hospital. Even so, the dis- cussion was fruitful. we thought.) To begin with, the committee viewed the Homecoming movies (about 350 feet of 16 m.m. film.) They are available for distribution. For the ﬁrst time we have pictures taken at night. Karl Berg, Cam- pus Photographer, did the job. Shots of the Queen-crowning and football game with St. Olaf were excellent. Then, for a musical salute, there is the wire-recording of the Christmas concert at the Auditorium, about 4; minutes in length. This can be played on a regular wire-recorder, available for rent in any Gilt Designations At the meeting of the General Com- mittee of the Augsburg Foundation Fel- lowship this month several important questions will be discussed. Among them are: continuance of memberships, use of an individual record card to be kept by each member and sent in with gifts that come directly to Augsburg, and the an- nual Foundation Day celebration. The Alumni Executive Committee recently discussed the possibility of combining the latter with the annual Homecoming fes- tivities. Members of the AFF General Commit- tee are as follows: Bernhard Christensen, Olaf Rogne, Lawrence Quanbeck, Marvin Gisvold, N. C. Anderson, Rev. C. J. Carlsen, George Michaelscn. Your AFF gift may be designated to: l. The general building fund, or z. The Fosse Memorial Fund, or 3. The current expense fund. L.F.C. larger city. A number of churches, too, have added these machines to their equip— ment. As an outgrowth of the discussion Ver- non Jensen was asked to make a record- ing of "A Trip Around Augsburg." It will be possible through this recording for Auggies to listen to their former teachers lecture, visit chapel, get a greeting from various administrative leaders, hear the choir or band at work, etc. Vern will probably get some vibrations at the Arm- ory, too, at the next basketball game! A further thought for Auggie rally programs was that of getting some one to come in from a nearby area—to speak or sing. This person would not neces- sarily have to be an Augsburg alumnus either. As a ﬁnal thought, here, the commit- tee felt that every area organization would function best if it had some deﬁnite proj- ect of its own to work for. This could be related to Augsburg. It might be re- lated to the community. But it should be something of interest to the group. involving an attainable good which need not be just ﬁnancial in character. Members who want gifts in this category credited to their congregation must be sure to indicate the fact when sending the gift. Gifts are received at the Treas- urer's Ofﬁce, or the Alumni-AFF office in Old Main.

We perhaps should have said "family" instead of neighbors—since all who have attended Augsburg have been welcomed into the "family." But the number has grown so rapidly of late years that it has been hard for us to keep up with it, even in the alumni oﬂice. Therefore from time to time we are sending out area lists to diﬂerent sections of our country: i. To help you know about Auggies in your area. In some cases you will be able to renew old acquaintances! 2. To help you to check us on our in- formation. Use the card enclosed to give any correction or omission. 3. To be a source of information for dis- trict oﬁcers. If you haven’t had a district rally recently, begin planning now! 4. To be a reminder that Augsburg's progress is greatly dependent on her former students. What can you do to give our school a boost? If you have not received an area list and desire one for your section send a note to the Alumni office please. With the Clubs Chicago Auggies attended a pre~Christ- mas music recital in which two Norwe- gian students, and artists, captivated their audience with violin and piano numbers. Though a Thanksgiving vacation date kept attendance at a low point, Mankato area Auggies gathered for supper and the Mankato Teacherr—Augsburg basketball game in Mankato. A Duluth group cheered the Augsburg basketeers after the Superior Teachers game in Duluth Dec. 30 with a ﬁne lunch at Trinity Church parlors. The boys needed the cheering after losing two games in two nights by a total of seven points. Very partial referees (who called 35 fouls on the Augs and 10 on Superior) were responsible for the loss of the SCC< ond game. The boys deserved to win. The Augsburg sponsored community Christmas program in the Municipal Audi- torium Dec. 9, was again received with enthusiasm. In spite of very bad weather another crowd of about 5000 greeted the two Augsburg choirs and the is other singing organizations from Twin City Protestant Churches. Several radio stations broadcast the music from transcriptions on later pro- grams in the holiday season.

Martin Luther on Education Martin Luther. the German Reformer. thundered the following warning regard- ing higher institutions of learning: "l am much afraid the great universities will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor to explain the Holy Scriptures and to engruVIe them upon thc hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign. Every institution where men are not unceasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt." Had Lu- ther had some inkling of how true hix prophecy would be. no doubt even he would have shuddered. That all sorts of false cults. godless philosophy. and im- moral living can be instilled in our youth by so-called intelligent men with a de- gree is the sad state of our times. ———T/)r Missionary Lulbrmu.

An Augsburg wrestling team will for the ﬁrst time enter conference competition this winter. The "grunt and groan" boys will meet at least ﬁve other colleges in matches. Though it is now a "long time since." Homecoming at Augsburg was well at- tended. A general reaction that "it was a ﬁne Homecoming" prevailed. An out- standing innovation this year was. the parade. Both the number and quality of ﬂoats was surprisingly ﬁne. The Alumni oﬁce will have pictures of these to pre- sent. Both main addresses by Rev. L. O. Gierde and Marcy Ditmanson were out- standing. About 510 attended the Smor- gasbord. Several thousand saw the foot- ball game. and the Homecoming Con- cert packed Trinity's spacious auditorium. Faced with a re-building job due to loss by graduation of star basketeers Je- roy Csrlsen and Duane Ludgren. Coach Ernest Anderson has been relying largely on freshmen as he has sought to ﬁnd a winning combination for the tough con- ference schedule which opens in january. To get maximum preparation the Augs are playing a is game practice schedule. with everybody but the waterboy getting a chance to show his skill. Some of last years regulars will ﬁnd it hard to keep a starting place this year. The Minnesota Conference with stand- out teams at Hamline and St. Thomas (Hamline has been rated by most as equal to. or better than the U. of M. team) will oﬂer rugged opposition for the I949 Aug- gies. The Maroon and Grey will do well if it captures a spot in the ﬁrst division this season. The following men comprise the squad. (Names in italics are probable starters in most games): Centers: R.

C. bowed to the Maroon and Grey. i4-o in the ﬁrst game) lost lustre rapidly as the season advanced. Star fullback Vane fractured a leg in the ﬁrst game. and a ﬂood of other injured shelved a large part of the best talent on the squad. it was one headache after another for coach Edor Nelson. Thus the season ground to a close with one victory. two ties (Hamline and Concordia). three de- feats. In the St. Olaf homecoming game the Auggies got off to a glorious start. marching to a touchdown soon after the opening kick-off. But the Oles found a weak spot—the Auggie pass defense. That turned the tide for the Ole Lions who went on to victory. New Dietitian Repercussion of the agitation by stu- dents Iast semester toward lower board costs are apparent in several developments. A ten-cent per meal saving on the eve- ning dinner was effected by the change to cafeteria service. Then. after Christ- mas. a new dietitian. Miss Grace Boyd. began her work. Miss Boyd received a master's degree at Iowa State and has held cafeteria positions in that school and at Purdue. She has also taught in North- ern Minnesota. The dietitian at Macalaster College was called in to survey the dining hall situa- tion. Her report was given to the special dining hall committee which. after con- sidering the facts. discovered a circulated number of recommendations. Noteworthy were the following: I. That the administration suspend for next semester on a trial basis the rule requiring students to purchase a mini- mum number of coupon-books. Cou- pon-books will be available in units of t. That students be allowed to use meal tickets for afternoon and to evening chin-wag. 3. That less variety. and cheaper dishes be offered at the noon meal. 4. That the possibility of having cafe- teria dinners in two price ranges be considered. 7. That a program of nutrition and health be initiated to educate students in the wise spending of the food dol- Iar. 8. That the Dining Hall Advisory Com~ mittee adopt a long range program for maintaining and encouraging constant improvement in all phases of college food services.

Show moreTHE ZIGGUDAT The ancient Babylonians were great builders. They built great cities, magni- ﬁcent palaces, massive temples. extensive canals, and a world empire. In all their building they did also erect the most costly structure—the Ziggurat (eminence). This was their particular building sacred to the deity. It was a stage —tower consisting of seven stages with a richly ornamented shrine at the top. Usually it was dedicated to "The guardian of Heaven and Earth," as was the great shrine Birs at Nimrud tooo years ago. The early Babylonians, or Sumerians, came from a mountainous country where they worshipped on mountain tops, to be nearer to heaven. When they settled on the alluvial plains of Babylonia they built these tall prominent towers to take the place of mountains. From the shrine. open to the sky, the priests would study the heavens day and night to know the will of the deity, and to learn the mysteries of the universe. There votaries would come with their costly gifts to worship "The Great Guard- in of Heaven and Earth." Such a tower was used in the service of defence. From its pinnacles watchman would scan the plains continually to give warning if hostile armies might approach. Within its sacred solid walls were skil- fully wrought chambers for housing treas- PROF. lARS LILLEHEI ure chests of the temple, the palace or the empire. ' "We are builders all." Like the Baby- lonians we are great builders. During al- By Professor Lars Lillehei most 2000 years the Christian church has been engaged in building the Kingdom of God on earth. This is the greatest building project eVer undertaken by men, now reaching out towards the ends of the earth. To simplify, let us think of a segment of this greatest of all Kingdoms. For some 80 years those associated with Augsburg have been engaged in the work of build— ing that Kingdom. In a sense we may say that Augsburg is a Ziggurat. A stage— tower of seven stages, dedicated to our God. All along the way, and perhaps es- pecially at the summit we attempt to learn the will—not of a Babylonian deity. but of almighty God. Through sciences we are engaged in the study of the mys- teries of the universe. On its pinnacles have stood watchmen all these years sounding warnings against the approach of enemies of spiritual life. Can there be found more precious treasure to be given our people than consecrated Christian young lives? They have been going out in streams of hundreds and hundreds these many years. While we are continuing to build the Kingdom of God shall we not resolve in this new year, with renewed zeal and energy to repair and enlarge our Ziggurat? THE FIRST THIRTY-FIVE CENTURIONS Wall certiﬁcates are being distributed now to all those who have enrolled as Centurions. Both the wall certiﬁcates and the pins—which have been promised for this week—should have good publicity value. They will elicit some questions, and, then, Centurion, there's your chance. E\en though you may be giving the full 8100 yourself, don't miss the opportunity to talk about our school and this project, as well as the fact that there is need of many more gifts, large or small, in or- der that we may reach the full $25,000 goal for this fund. Here is the list of the ﬁrst thirty~ﬁve Centurions. In a few cases two people are involved in one membership. But we list only one name to keep the records right.

I had cleaned my house that morning, and now only one task remained to be done, that of shaking my rugs. I opened the door and proceeded with my task. As I looked out upon the snowy street I saw a child stumbling, shivering, crying. “Little girl,” I called, “won’t you come in and get warm by my ﬁre?” She stopped crying and came in. Inside, I found a chair for her, and moved it closer to the fire. “What’s your name?” I asked as I began to unloosen her scarf and well-wom cap. “Kathleen,” she said. “Do you live far from here?" “About ten blocks,” she answered. I stooped to take off her shoes that her feet might get warm. She had no overshoes, so her feet were very wet. I laid out her things to dry; then gave her a banana and a cookie to eat. Finally, Kathleen was warm again. I helped her with her coat, tied her scarf tightly around her neck, pulled her cap down over her ears, and started to draw on her steaming wet mittens. Then I stopped. The mittens were in shreds, and at least two or three sizes too large for her tiny hands. “Just wait a minute,” I called as I began to ascend the stairs to my bedroom. Returning, I handed her a pair of my old mittens which I had now outgrown. She smiled with delight as I pulled the soft, dry, white mittens onto her red, chapped hands. “See,” she shouted, as she pointed to her left mitten, “it’s got a red heart on it!” I led her to the door, said good-bye, then watched her trudge slowly down the street. “God bless you, little girl,” I breathed as I closed the door. Then I turned to straighten my rugs and ﬁnish my cleaning. Now it was easy to work, for I was glad. —MARIE G JENVICK DIAL 18

Show moreJimmy He’s a freshman in college, but he's always been just “Jimmy.” If you called him “Jim,” you’d be talking about the man he will be ten years from now. He’s everybody's friend, so—by common consent—he’s “Jimmy.” Appearances are not deceiving in Jimmy’s case. It‘s his smile that betrays his whole personality. To accompany the smile, Jimmy has a typical Auggie heinie, a generous sprinkling of freckles, and an athletic sweater. No one knows much about Jimmy’s past, except that he came from a small Minnesota town, and that he loves trout-ﬁshing, and that he’s a real American boy. He doesn't talk about him- self —he’s more interested in his friends. Although Jimmy is a real American, he doesn’t exercise the American prerogative, “griping.” Often, when I see him, I am reminded of Washington Irving’s tribute to Sir Walter Scott, “Everything that comes within his inﬂuence seems to catch a beam of that sunshine that plays ’round his heart.” Jimmy’s cheerfulness never fails him—even in unpleasant situations, as, for instance, an hour before the “Echo” deadline. An ejaculation from the editor—“Another blank space!”—and Jimmy is on his toes, ready to go to Robbinsdale or Richﬁeld for a cut of next week’s convocation speaker. Sometimes I think Jimmy must be annoyed by the assumed sophistication of his classmates, but he seems not to mind even this “new environment where sentimentality is frowned upon by schoolmates who are anxious to affect the sophistication so highly valued by undergraduate tradition,” as Hadley Cantril says . That’s the Jimmy of yesterday. It was this Jimmy who opened PO. box 257 after chapel this morning and pulled out of it a long government envelope. But it was Jim who said, “Well—- tomorrow I’ll be in.” —RUTH WELTZIN DIAL 26
