Show morePogoFour [oats OIIVMany Colors There is at present a bill before the student council which, if passed, would prohibit the wearing of any letter jacket except that of the "A" Club on campus. The power to enforce this law would then be placed in the hands of the “A” Club. I PROPONEN'I‘S OF THE BILL say that under the present condi- tions on campus, the wearing of these many different numeral dis- plays decreases the prestige of the “A” Club. Another view on the subject states that these jackets distract from a cohesive school spirit. We imagine that both of these could possibly be true. However, it must be admitted that they are views which are extremely ambigu- ous and would be very difficult to prove with factual evidence. On the other hand, the fact does exist that the privacy and demo- cratic freedom to think and act, as long as it 'does not infringe upon the rights of others, is being violated. WE CANNOT IMAGINE, even with the aid of the broadest imag- ination, how the “A” Club could possibly enforce this law, if it is passed. Thoughts of Cuba have entered our minds. Before further action is taken on this issue, we suggest that it be subjected to judicial review in the form of The Augsburg Hand- book undcr the section referring to campus dress. The [Ilr' tmas Whirlwind A little over a week from tonight, millions across the country will gather to celebrate the humble birth of Jesus Christ. Although some will re-read the New Testament account of His birth and ponder its eternal implications, more will pay closer attention to the gospel ac- cording to channel 7 and the double-meaning verse of the contempo- rary greeting card. AND, SINCE OTHER DIRECTED, sensitive psyches cannot com- prehend the simple, direct story of this infant Savior and His message of love, many will turn instead to salvation by credit card and justiﬁ- cation by soft sell. In their frustration, they will ﬂee to an altar of ‘ soot and with upraised stockings await the more believable coming of Santa Claus. While we, the editors and staff, wish you the season’s greetings, we would ask this in return—that you seclude yourself from this whirlwind of tinsel and tissue, if only for a brief period, to ponder anew, what the Almighty has done and continues to do through His gift of love, Jesus Christ. v' THE AUGSBUIG, ECHO Foreign Auggies TeII Of Christmas At (Ed. Note—The Echo directed the question, “If you were in your home country, how would you spend your Christ-nu holidays?” to the foreign students and facul- ty on campus. Below are their answers) Ken Ichiyuma, Seminary Junior from Japan In Japan a great number of people celebrate Christmas. But unfortunately, it is a Santa Claus centered carnival. Only Chris- tians celebrate and keep the real Christmas, the birth of our Sav- ior Jesus Christ. Christmas isn’t a holiday in Ja— pan so many Christian churches y ' gather together for devotions and after that they go out for Christmas carol- ing to many cor- ners of the city, _ b r i n g in g the ‘3 good news to the people. At this moment, we really ex~ perience the joy of being saved and loved by the Babe of Beth- lehem. It is a wonderful thrill for young Christians that they can share the joy in this way with others who do not know the joy yet. Mrs. Khin Khin Jensen, Instructor in H'story and Political Science from Burma In Burma, the celebration of Christmas is similar to ours in America; however, there is more . emphasis on car- oling. Gift giv- ing is the same; but, of course, there are no Christmas trees and the decora- tions are differ- ent. . ° Christianstend to centralize their observance more in the church services.

One phy. ed. major was nearly bodily sent out of a library because she didn’t have her stu- dent pass. Another was told on a student evaluation, “The teacher is intolerable to me."

I considered writing my Church History paper on the Augsburg Confession, using as reference material the things my roommate has told me after lights out in the dorm. Considering every- thing, however, I dropped the idea; so did my roommate. PREDICTION near semester- end time: Dean Armacost will come into his psychology class and say, "Good morning. You’re fine.

Seth-Pierre Aldrin-arm Sanitary snags from Mr Christmas. is the most impor— tant festival in the church at Ma- dagascor. As long as two mantis before Christina, the children are already beginning to.leurn their pieces. They learn prophetic passages in the Old Testament that tell of the fulfillm' ent of these prophesies. There is a Christmas tree dec0< rated with Bible pictures and on 1'”? the branches are little candles to light up the tree. ' Everything is a ‘ r beautiful. Most “a of the children are dressed in w h i t e. T h e y , march and sing »‘ ‘ ‘ around the Christmas tree and if there are many children, they may walk three rows deep. ‘ This Christmas eve celebration ends with a distribution of candy to the children, In some homes the parents arrange a similar fes- tival for their children and have a tree of their own. Christmas day is always a great day. There are so many people that come to church that there is not enough room inside and many sit outside in the shade of the church hoping to hear part of what is said. Many non-Christians are at- tracted by the Christmas pro- gram and for many this becomes the day when they make their de- cision to learn more of the Chris tian faith and eventually to seek salvation in Christ. Christmas is the season of great joy for the Christian and many are learning to express their joy and gratitude by giving gifts to the work of the Kingdom of God. Children as well as grown-ups find in this festival their greatest expression of joy and it is their turn to take part in the festivities on Christmas day afternoon. Then they sing and recite what they have learned and thus witness for their Lord as they have learned to know Him. Cynthia Kubota, Junior from Japan If I were in Japan—and I imag- ine it, getting a little homesick— I would be busy preparing for Christmas both in the home and in our little church. We have three weeks for Christmas vacation. In the first week, I would be busy prepar- ing for Christ- mas. During the second ,week. I would go to the mountains for skiing as I did ,. each vacation.

Hotels are reserved by people and there are special programs in these places. The Christians hold celebrations for about two weeks and non-Christians attend these cele- brations. Joseph Hatch, Junior from Formosa As in this country, the people in Taiwan, Formosa, spend their Christmas in many different ways. Christians, though a small minority in the country, knowing the significance that it has as the birthday of our L o r d , J e a u s Christ. celebrate it in a joyful and grateful way. . l mu i and spiritual programs for the great event. Apart from these devout Chris- tians are those people who know it merely as a day for celebration and a relief from labors and sor- rows. There are some people— quite a large amount—to whom Christmas is not even known. Among the customs that are connected with Christmas are the exchanging of gifts, the sending of Christmas cards and the decor- ation of shops and stores; how- ever, these decorations are not as magnificent as those of down- town Minneapolis. A well-decor- ated Christmas tree cannot be ex- pected to be found in every home, for they are quite expensive. One thing that is different from at least this part of the country is the absence of a white Christ- mas. The feeling of the country, never found in Taiwan.

It will enable interested students with limited financial needs to Chicago Opera Ballet To Give Performance At University Two performances will be giv- en by the Chicago Opera Ballet in Northrop Memorial ’Auditori- um at the University of Minne- sota on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 12 and 13. The Chicago company. which has earned acclaim for its reper- toire, specializes in presenting the stories of familiar operas in dance form, together with the original music from the operatic score. in its two-performance stand here, the company will show {our of its major works. On Tuesday, January 12 at 8:30 pm. the company will perform “Carmen” and the “Merry Wid- ow.” Ballets based on two operas by Giuseppe Verdi will be on the program for Wednesday, January 13. "Revenge" is based on Verdi's “Il Trovatore," and includes a scene referred to as a prologue which provides background in unA derstanding the motives and ac« tions of the familiar characters. The second ballet, “Camille,” is based on Verdi‘s “La Traviata." Augsburg’s high schol heroes will get a jolt soon if a bill intro- duced to the student council is posed. The bill would forbid the wearing of high school letters and emblems on wearing apparel and is designed to increase the pres- tige of “A” club awards and pre- serve a united college community.

Show more"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his inﬂuence stops." Upon the death of Professor Emeritus P. A. Sveeggen, his 37 yurs as head of the Department of English becomes a notable laidmrlt in the life and spirit of Augsburg. Following the expressed in the above quotation from Henry Brooks Adams, Mr. Harald Mortensen, class of 1920, brings a tribute to Professor Sveeggen’s memory. Mr. Mortensen knew this devoted and beloved teacher both as one of his students and, later, as a faculty member of his department. For our chapel meditation, Professor P. A. Sveeggen read Philippians 8:4—-—“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things!” Christianity to him was a positive, plus quality, in human thought and experience. Primarily, Professor Sveeggen was an idealist. The same search for the qualities of goodness—of Truth and Beauty—— prevailed in all his literary appraisal from Beowulf and the Canterbury Tales through the Shakespearean plays, The Faerie Queene, Paradise Lost, Tintern Abbey, Grey’s Elegy, The Scarlet Letter, The Vision of Sir Launfal, A Psalm of Life, Pilgrim’s Progress, to name a few. The quality which makes wture great is not its form or linguistic beauty, but its e. But not all life is beauty and since literature must deal with all phases of life, we meet up with the ugly, the uncouth, the corrupt and the satanic. Realism tends to become only sensa- tionalism and at that time ceases to be desirable literature. Here, too, his was a positive approach because he was a moral- ist. There was always the sharp distinction of good versus evil as character was evaluated. Peter A. Svooggen was born in Almtor, South Dakota, Juno 30, 1881. Ho passed away October 29, 1959, at the ego of 78. Services were hold at Enger Funeral Home November 2. Professor Svooggon was head of the English Dopartmont from l915 to I952. A University of Minnesota graduate, he received his master: dogma there in 1909, taught thoro four yours, on. at Decorah (lo.) High School, than to Ellsworth College, Iowa Falls, Ia. before coming to Augsburg. He was a member of Olivot Lutheran Church. Survivors ln- cludo his wife, Cloro; son, Gerald E., both of Minneapolis and two brothers, Sigvold and Sivort, and two sisters, Mn. Anna Olson and Mrs. Edna Sandburg, all in South Dakota. A scholarship has been established in his honor at Augsburg. P. A. Sveeggen was also a practical realist. The vehicle of expression in writing or by word of mouth should be flawless. What hours upon hours he spent in speech and reading drill and in painstaking correction of every bit of written work of his students! Not often has an institution of learning had the beneﬁt of so many years of consecrated service. Our school is now 90 years old, and for nigh unto half of that time our departed friend was a part of our tradition. Of him it may truly be said: He gave his all for Augsburg. Who can begin to judge the impact of his life and philosophy upon the thousands of students whom he taught! And surely something of him will carry on from generation to generation. And the faith in the future may not more clearly be voiced than the final benediction of his own Augsburg Song: “Let Augs- burg still in strength remain. When we our way have trod: Let sound for aye the joyous strain, Of thankful praise to God.” National Social Science Honor Society Installed David Nordlie (left), senior from Minneapolis, is the new Pi Gamma Mu president and is shown receiving the chapter charter from Dr. Scott John- ston with Dr. Chrislock. Other new oﬂi- cers are E. Delano Lind and Marlo Ros- vold with Dr. Chrislock as faculty sponsor. Dr. Arnold Rose ( at right) reported his personal experiences in work done with Gunnar Myrdal and the publishing of “An American Dilemma.” This famous study of the Negro in American society was a social science research project originated by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Dr. Myrdal, a prominent Swedish social scientist, was engaged in 1938 to direct the project. Dr. Rose became an assistant author of the study which was pub- lished in 1944. Pi Gamma Mu was officially added to the growing list of honorary societies at Augsburg in ceremonies held Nov. 20. Thirteen students, four alumni and ten faculty members were included in the charter membership. Dr. Scott Johnston, professor of political science at Hamline University and governor of the Minnesota province for Pi Gamma Mu, directed the formal installation. Speaker for the banquet was Dr. Arnold Rose, professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Carl H. Chrislock. professor of history and political science. was faculty organizer. He pointed out that the founding of our chapter reveals the importance of student initiative. “Two years ago the Student Leadership Retreat recom- mended that Pi Gamma Mu be promoted. This was the origin of the effort which has reached the point of realization.” Student charter members from the college were John K. Bispala, LeMoyne Boleman, Myron Carlson. Darrel Cilbertson, E. Delano Lind. David A. Nordlie, Ronald Stanley. Kermit Valeen. Marlo Rosvold: from the seminary, Paul Almquist. Philip Heidc. Rennard Svanoe and Thomas H. Moen. Alumni charter members were Valborg Bosmoe. Patricia D. Eldridge. Harold Reistad and Harold Kambak. Faculty charter members were Mrs. Lyla Anderegg. Carl Chrislock. Orloue N. CiSSElquist, A. Robert Hemmingson. Mrs. Khin Khin Jensen. Einar Johnson and Joel S. Torstenson. In addition. Carl Hammarberg. Bernhardt J. Kleven and Gerda Mortensen were included in the faculty membership from memberships at other institutions.

In literature, in art and music, in philosophy and politics, again and again the baser side of human life surges to the fore. Only a few years ago, Hitler’s gas chambers were the ghastly symbol of the evil in man’s heart. But our poets and novelists paint the same heart, with a thousand variations of shame and despair. Is there room for joy in a world of gas chambers, of hydrogen bombs, of “hollow men”? Christmas answers Yes! Christmas heralds the coming of a Holy Child to bear the bitter— ness and pain of all earth’s unholiness, all earth’s sin—all the way to the cross. Christmas proclaims that Love Eternal came to earth in God’s Son—that Love, not hate and sin, shall have the ﬁnal word in man’s long struggle amid earth’s darkness.

The courses, “Church His- tory," “Christian Ethics," “Com- parative Religion," are greatly outnumbered by what are com- monly termed “practical” courses. IT IS MY understanding that one who takes practical courses without some basic acquaintance of the fundamental p r o b 1 e m s which attack Christianity at its central points. is running the risk of building castles in the air. or to use a New Testament parable, a house upon the sand. rightly so) considered malicious if it did not come to some positive conclusions.

I also strongly urge the students and faculty to become aware of the existing situation and to come to some conclusions which can be intelligently expressed and de- fended, either "pro" or “con.” In further examination, it ap- pcai‘s to me that a course entitled “Christian Churches" would be similar to a course in "Church History."

Dr. Torrance Speaks at Great Ideas Forum Dr. E. Paul Torrance, director of the bureau of educational re- search, spoke at the ﬁrst Great Ideas Forum held in the small dining room last Wednesday. His topic was C r e a t i V 9 Thinking Abilities. Torrance stated that we have three thinking abilities, cognitive, that of recognizing a fact; mein» ory. that of retaining what has been gained through cognitive abilities; and creative. that of choosing the correct choice out of several possibilities. Up until this time, Dr. Tor- rance continued, emphasis has been placed on high I.Q.'s rather than creative ability.

THERE ARE SEVERAL rea- sons why creative a b i l i t y has lagged, according to Dr. TorA rance. Among these reasons are that teachers have not rewarded creative a b i l i t y satisfactorily, that attempts have been made to eliminate fantasy from childrenI and that‘ restrictions have been placed on childrens' experimen- tation. Creative children are also more timid, lag more in verbal skills, and have more personality prob- lems than do noncreative chil- dren. A discussion period followed Mr. Torrance’s address. 99.51.

Show morePage Four Development Reap: Re wan/s Announcement of the leasing of the National food store on River- side avenue has again brought to our attention the development program at Augsburg. We think this action has demonstrated the thoroughness that the development committee and the administration has undertaken to make the transition from old to new as smooth is pOSSible. MANY QUESTIONS have been raised concerning the program to date l cause of the relatively little progress noted on the surface. One such point in question is the seemingly destructive nature rather than constructive aspect. We refer to the razing of Morton Hall. However, beneath the surfmc the program has made great strides in planning and the initial str-ps that are necessary in launching a successful expansion of this magnitude, . TIIF. THOUSAND DOLLAR club and other sources of revenue are gaining mnmrntum. These were well noted in the pamphlet entitled “lnvc'tmcnls in the Preservation of our Heritage." We feel'that in order for lllv program to become a complete success the students now at Augsburg must support the issue to their utmost. A venture of this nature must employ methods that are quite varied in order to appeal to the interests of a large group of people. The development committee has accomplished this end. We support this program. A Great Idea We are pleased to note in this issue the organization of a Great Ideas forum. It is particularly notable, we feel, in that it is an entirely student originated program. It is indicative, we hope, of the attitude of a majority of students. THE FIRST FORUM is concerned with the creative thinking abilities of man. Other topics of equal interest and importance will be discussed in the future. These include topics dealing with the Unitarian concept, hypnosis, nuclear testing policy and non-Christian religious and atheistic viewpoints. Thc meetings will not be restricted to periods consisting entirely of lecture, but will be primarily opportunities for students to query individuals considered leaders in the topics chosen. IN [01 INTRODUCTORY information release, originators of the forum exprcsscd a statement of purpose which we feel is worth quoting: “To stimulate intellectual interest and develop scholarly insight, so that the stud-ant may learn to think with accuracy and comprehension, experiencing an understanding of truth which will help integrate the ﬁndings of science with the deepest spiritual reality. In the spirit of this Augsburg liberal education goal, we as responsi- ble students should make a serious attempt to further our intellectual and scholarly insight." We look to this forum as one stimulus in jarring the student from his gclatinous mode of cxistcnce.

Letters to the Editors Letter to the Editor: Major campus events such as Homecoming set the tone for gen- eral student life. With each major event, we either go forward or backward in this type of pr0< gramming. We don’t stand still. Homecoming 1959, in my opin- ion, deﬁnitely made several steps forward. Advance planning and committee followathrough in the numerous activities was appar- ent. The high character and tone of each event was a credit to the student body. Coordination be- tween students, faculty and staff made the most of combined ef- forts from which everyone bene- ﬁted. Many worked hard and long to Effective Sermon Is in Example, Not Words by Roger Gordon "I'll rather see a sermon than licnr onc any rl ': I'd rather one should walk \\ h inc than merely Show tho way.

"I SOON CAN learn to do it, if you'll let me see it done; I can see your hands in action but your tongue too fast may run. And the lectures you deliver may be very ﬁne and true, but I'd rather get my lessons by observing what you do.

Edgar Guest, in this poem is not minimizing profession of a creed but simply emphasizing the effect the practice of this creed can have. The best evangelist is not one who can put up a good argument but one who can offer up a convincing life. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick penned this thought in these words, “We defend religion too much. Vital religion, like good music, needs no defense but ren— dition. “A WRANGLING controversy in support of religion is precisely as if the members of an orches- tra would beat folks over their heads With their violins to prove that music is beautiful. But such procedure is no way to prove that music is beautiful, Rather play it!" Our faith is rarely either de- fended or p r o v e d effectively . through debate or logic. This is not saying it cannot stand the test of careful scrutiny—Christianity is defensible. THE POINT is rather that Will- ning an adherent to our faith is best done by attractively “Frat- ticing the presence of G od’ ’— making your life your sermon—- playing it! “let your light so shine before men, that they may SEE your good works, and glorify your Father in Beam” achieve these results. The efforts put forth not only brought honor and respect to the student body from the many visitors we had, but each student brought honor to himself by working for these higher ideals. This kind of honor is always more difficult to achieve and maintain. But who would say it wasn‘t worth it as we look back on what has been accomplished? Sincerely, Harold Kambak, Director of Public Relations Letter to the Editor: Although this letter is ad- dressed to a minority, I think it expresses the view of an over- whelming majority of students at Augsburg. There are places on campus where one may socialize, forexample the lounge, the grill, etc., and there are places set aside for study, notably the L!- BRARY. It seems highly improb- able that anyone would have to use the library for the former, yet there are some that seem to gravitate there to spend a few moments (or hours) perfecting the art of conversation. One should be able to hear a pin drop here any hour of the day, excluding possibly the mo- ments between classes when the “lines change." However, at cer- tain times, especially in the eve- nings, it is improbable that one could hear a shot-put fall, let alone a pin. V How about a little sympathy for your ﬂunking neighbor even though you already have your 3.0 average cinched? Sincerely, Bruce Amundsen, Student Body President guy Mark! . . - Lef Hunger Be Your Guide by Helen Bergan Hungry? Why not stop at the Cafe Espresso, 18 University avenue south for lunch and espresso coffee. Try a ham sandwich on their home-made salt and pepper bread. It'll be all you can eat, and better than hny ham sandwich you‘ve had before. The coffee, the European variety, will prepare you for widevawake study for a week. Scandi- navian coffee wouldn't ﬁt the bill in this atmosphere of candlelight, dark walls lined with paintings, an occasional beat-nik, and quiet jazz. If you're still hungry have some Bavarian ten—layer cake with bitter- sweet frosting and a reﬁll of espresso. Visit the art exhibit in the back. ANOTHER EVENING, before eight, go to the Leaves Tea Shop, downtown at 1055 N icollet. Here, in distinctive atmosphere you'll have your fortune told from tea leaves, However, if you don’t care for tea, the Ten O‘clock Scholar is for you. Wear a gas mask. The smoke get: quite thick. It's at 418 - 14th avenue in Dinky Town, and features real high and real low chairs. , ANOTHER PIZZA PLACE, close to campus for those without cars, is Stefano’s on Cedar avenue. There too you'll ﬁnd checkered tablecloths, candlelight and artistic displays. Go explorng Don't settle for a hamburger at the Chef when you could have chicken-irrwine at Jean’s French Restaurant in St. Paul or wienerschnitzel at the Heidelberg.

A slim crowd for the last game of the season, com- posed 'in part by the football players' dads—honor- ing the traditional Dad's Day at Augsburg, was treated to some ﬁne defensive play by St. John‘s for four periods. Fumbles on kickoff returns proved extremely costly to Augsburg. for they al— lowed St. John‘s to recover twice in the first quarter. Augsburg, as a result, was unable to launch their ﬁrst offensive until two minutes and 23 seconds remained in the period, with St. John’s already out in front by a score of 15-0. ST. JOHN‘S SCORED a TD on their ﬁrst offenv sive; Deutz scoring from the one»yard line. MC< Inerny added the two-point conversion, and the Johnnies led 8-0. 0n the following kickoff Augs- burg fumbled. St. ,Iohn's center, McPherson, re- covered the fumble in mid-air and ran to the Augsburg 30-yard line. After St. John's penetrated to the one-foot line, Deutz ﬁnally went over on a fourth down play.

The second quarter began with Jack Osberg re- covering a St. John’s fumble, but the Johnnies quickly recaptured the ball by blocking an Auggie punt on the Augsburg 45-yard line. Mclncrny then ran twice for 20 yards; the second time for a TD. The conversion kick failed and St. John's led at the half 21—0. ‘ St. John‘s blocked another Augsburg punt. after the Augs had received the second half kickoff, and this time fell on the ball in the end zone for a safety, This made the score 23—0. QUARTERBACK GETCHMAN scored the ﬁnal TD on a one-yard plunge. The two-point conver- sion was added, and the Johnnies had their margin of victory—3L0. Auggie reserves were then in- serted and played until the last minute, when graduating seniors Ev Flom, Paul Casperson, Harry Toussaint, Bozo Thompson, and Jim Larson played out their last football game as Auggies, This was Augsburg's ﬁnal football game and left them with a conference record of two wins and ﬁve losses, and a season‘s record of three wins in eight games Box Score 51.

Fans Will speak brightly of the future and say, “The team had only limited success this year, but then they had none in 1958.” SONLE CURBSTONE QUARTERBACKS will question the ability of the players and coaches because Augsburg again failed to have a winning season. The main trouble with the team seemed obvious to those who attended the games. It was a lack of team spirit which cost the Auggies more than one contest. The fact remains that the Auggics lose ﬁve players by graduation. More of the returning gridders Will be experienced. Good luck in 1960! Augs Take Homecoming Contest To the cry of “Whainline,’ and amid a regal atmosphere pro- vided by Queen Bev, the Augs- burg football team portrayed a ﬁne ﬁrst half offense and man- aged to preserve a 3248 home- coming victory over Hamline. PLAYED UNDER mild condi- tions. the game featured no obvi7 ous bad breaks due to a wet ﬁeld, mud, or a slippery ball. Jim Roback accounted for three ﬁrst downs, and scored on a four yard run the ﬁrst time the Augs had the ball.

Navombor S, '95! V" Thompson Likes An‘ Future by Claire Hellmd “The future at the art department at Augsburg looks very opti— mistic this year. particularly because of the practical function it can play on the campus."L This expresses the feelings of Augsburg‘s new art instructor, Mr. Philip Thompson. Mr. Thompson received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1965 Iran Concordia college, Moorhead. After this he attended the Univa of Iowa for three years from which he received his Master of Ping Arts degree. Mr. Thompson gained his teaching experience at the Uni- versity of Indiana extension in Kokomo. - When asked whether he preferred modern or traditional lﬂ. ht laughed and stated that he liked all types of art as long as the quality was high. The danger. he said. is that so often quality is overlooked in representative art. “If it looks like something, we tend to pin it at! as good." Mr. Thompson aims to foster in his students a tolerant Ittituda toward art of all kinds. together with the ability to make proper evaluations of its quality. He does most 0! his work in oil painting. He has set a strenuous goal for himself of 20 pictures a year. He enjoys most to paint “guru and portraits. Mr. Thompson is cooperating in the new Student Government project to set up a poster service to be used by organizations on cum pus for their publicity. The whole project is under the direction of the Student Commission on public relations headed by Luther An- derson. 0n the 5 - 8 of November Mr. Thompson is going to the Bismarck Art Association convention to demonstrate renaissance techniques in oil painting. On the 18th of November there will be a tea in the faculty lounge for Mr. Thompson and other artists of the Minneapolis area. This will be open to students. also.

That would be. in effect, an insurance contract.” A few days later the organization now called Lutheran Brotherhood was incorporated by church leaders. Its purposes were “to aid the Lutheran Church: to foster justice, charity and benevolence; to provide education . . to furnish relief and protection to its members. their dependents and beneﬁciaries, through the payment of beneﬁts in case of death . . to encourage industry.
