"Ol' Man River" Entertain: Truants Tuesday. 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! North Dakota, he held succeuive professor- ships a Mayville State Teachers' College, the University of IliumL Iota, Wittenberg College, and until his present appointment, was profes- aor of sociology and education at Northwest Missouri State Teachers’ College. While a student at Augsburg he wns a member of the debating team and also other organinao'ons. Eis de— hating ability evolved into a general oratnrical skill that has won him wide recognition as an eﬂ'u‘tive speaker. the Augsburg campus. lie is a frequent visitor on, Czech Leader Laud: Democracy Dr. Eduard Bones, a famous Eu- ropean scholar and a statesman of international repute, reaﬁrmed the nationalistic ambitions of the Czecho. llovaldau people before a capacity crowd in the Northrup Auditorium, Friday, May 19, on the campus of the University of Minnesota. “The Czechoslovakian nation,” said Dr. Benes, “will live again." 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.

Chester Hon-pg pl sided. 5-MIN. 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. After this the relaxation begins. Some ﬁnd it in the form of reading, when in Sele dozing, and still other» in Watching the pa.. ing people.

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.

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?

Professors Hen- drickson and Quanbeck were present from Augsburg, but had beforehand decided to uﬂer this schedule at Augs- burg next year to give the future teachers a broader and more specia- lised line a! study.

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.

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.

The ﬁrst practice, which was held on Monday in response to Coach Cully Swanson's call, was encouraging in that the turnout was fairly large. Heading the list of players are the returning lettcrmen, “Ace” Hoberg, pitcher and captain of the '39 team; Gerald Person, second base; Hoyt Messerer, shortstop: Les Dahlen, out- ﬁelder; Jim Gronseth, pitcher; Rus- sell Helleckson third base: Sandy Michelson, pitcher, and Lars Nesvig, third base. The ﬁrst six of the above: mentioned men are seniors who will be playing their last year. Lars Nes- vig and Sandy Mickelson, both of whom were missing last year, and George Anderson, who was ineligible last year, are expected to add con- siderably to the team's playing strength. New members showing promise in- clude Botten, Myking and Swanson. Another new man this year is Earl Lanes, team manager. The team has scheduled one game each with Gustavus Adolphus, St. John‘s, St. Olaf and Macalester, and two games each with Hamline, St. Mary‘s and St. Thomas. This schedule works to Augsburg's ad- vantage in that they play the power- ful Gustavus and St. John‘s teams only once. Dates for these games have not yet been released.

Inclement weather has driven athletes to the gymnasium for work- outs. Among veterans reporting are Person and Messerer. last year‘s co- captains, Dahlager, Gordon, Nesvig, Hellee 'on and Dahlen. These ve- terans comprise a pretty fair nucleus from which to build, supplemented by such heralded stars as Art Batten, a west coast leaguer and catcher, Mil- ler, an all-position man from St. Paul, and Staple’s, a ﬁrst sacker from Min- nehaha Academy.

Gerald Person. The Sophomores had a good team, but were left in third place. Fourth position was reserved for the Fresh» man “Rookies”, who failed to click. Ping Pong Tourney Approaches Finals “Ping Pong! Ping Pong!" responds the ball as it ricochets from racket to racket. There is also a ping pong tournament at Augsburg. Ceded as favorites of the thirty- two men that entered the tournament were defending champion, Ralph Mor- tensen, Hoyt Messerer, Olaf Johnson and Howard Lindahl. However. as usual, the dope does not include up- sets, and already a leading contenr der, Olaf Johnson, has been eliminat- ed from the contest by his brother, Ferdinand Johnson. The other fa- vorites are playing true to form as the tournament has reached the quar- ter ﬁnals. Other players who are also conceded an outside chance for the championship are Ferdinand John- son, Curtis Larson, John Schultz, and Ingolf Kl'onstad. AUGSBURG ECHO ‘U” Tennis Champ Coaches Netmen Allyn Ceilings Miss Allys Collings, women‘s tennis champion at the University of Min- nesota last year, has begun her du- ties as coach and instructor of the Augsburg tennis team aspirants. Un- der her guidance it is hoped that Augsburg may be able to develop a tennis combination worthy of repre- senting Augsburg in intercollegiate competition, and which can travel to- gether with the baseball team this spring. At present approximately twelve men are practicing for tennis team berths. Practice sessions are held every Tuesday and Wednesday after- noon at 3:30. Those interested and having experience are asked to con- tact Bob Chalmers, student athletic director, at once. Pautz Inaugurates Aquatic Instruction Augsburg, after sleeping for sev- eral years, ﬁnally awoke to the fact that a swimming pool was obtainable only one block from school. The gym classes, under the supervision of Per- son, Hoberg, Chapman, and Messerer, have been given swimming and div- ing instruction for the past two weeks, and will continue to meet regr ularly at the pool the rest of this year. It was Mr. Pautz. college athletic director, who conceived the idea of in- troducing swimming instruction, and who has ﬁnally made the plan a reali- ty.

Seek Ye First Augsburg was founded with the purpose of establishing our young people in the greatest truth of eternity—Christ. Take away the Christ- emphasis, and Augsburg can no longer justify its existence. We have just completed what we term Re- ligious Emphasis Week. The Spirit of God has indeed labored mightily in our midst, and in that we rejoice. We must watch, however, lest we become en< snared in the nets of spiritual lethargy and self- complacency. Yes, we say, they were wonderful meetings, but now that they are “completed” we can shift our emphasis to another depart- ment of school life. We’ll push that program and “put it across big" as we did the religious program. Thus our Christianity becomes just one of many activities. When we reason thus, are we not forgetting that Christianity is not just a periodically recurring series of meetings, but a daily and unending experience, an all—year- round emphasis? Christianity is not a week, but a life. Cram Doesn ’t Pay If we have learned anything or should have learned anything in the last week it is the value of well organized, systematic study. Intuitive methods, strenuous concentration for absurdly long periods of time are reserved for individual geniuses. Science has taught us that the pre- eminent fact of the universe is orderliness. Psy- chology has revealed the laws of study and the learning process. Why don’t we use the knowl- edge we might so easily possess in attacking the concrete problem of mastering our studies? There are two answers to this question. Either we do not see the advantage in applying science’s teachings or we are to lazy to eﬁ‘ect the change involved. If the latter is our trouble we may thank the examination system for forcing us to the realization of the value of such techniques regardless of the present cost to our ego in terms of low scholastic standing. A Word to the Wise “Let thy countenance be cheerful during the time of thy existence. . . . Let thy thoughts be aboundant; let thy mouth be under restraint; and thou shalt argue with the great. Put thy~ self in unison with the ways of thy master. Ap- ply thyself while thou speakest; speak only of perfect things. Do that which thy Master bids thee. What he tells us, let it be ﬁxed in our heart; to satify him greatly, let us do for him more than he has prescribed. Verily a good son (pupil) who does better than he has been told is one of the gifts of God." —Precepts of Ptah-hotep (2500 B. C.) We wish to express our sincere sympathy with Richard and Robert Tollefson and with Vincent Hawkinson in their hour of bereave— ment. AUGSBURG ECHO SPIRITUAL SPRINGTIME Christianity is a life-fellowship with the Living God. It is not a metaphysical theory. It is not a set of rules. It is not an ecclesias- tical organization, or even faith in an inspired Book It is a personal life of fellowship with the Living God—and a consequent new life of loving fellowship with others. This true Christian life is given to the individual in baptism. This is our Lutheran teaching, rooted in the Word of God and conﬁrmed by the age-long faith of the Christian Church. But if the Life is not nourished, sinful self-will, it withers away ' ‘ The soul feels itself out of touch with God. or if it is shackled and choked by and may die. The joy of faith Though bought with the blood of Christ and baptized into Him, the soul lives as if in a far country, away from God. Christian in name, its form of life is thoroughly worldly, or at least aridly unattractive, lacking all spiritual zest and joy and ﬁre. II It is not always possible to tell the difference between a sleeping Christian and a dead Wurldling. upon both to arouse themselves: The Apostle in one breath calls “Awake than that sleepest. and arise from the dead, and Christ shall giVe thee lighti" Both are powerless to do the work of God. Both are without true joy. Both are hindrances to the advance of the Kingdom. Both are arguments against Christ and the power of His Gospel. III All true Christians must rejoice when through the power of the Holy Spirit there is brought about a genuine spiritual awakening. If we ourselves know Christ, we cannot but be glad as was the Fa- ther in the parable: “This my son was dead and is alive again. What a newness of glad fellowship and was lost and is found." He added joy in daily work inevitably accompany a spiritual awakening in a student body or in a congregation! God give to us at Augsburg and in all the congregations represented here a perennial spiritual awakening! This is the will of God for His people. of vital Christian experience. This is the foundation of a strong, living Church life. For this is the normal form This is the basis of everlasting joy among the angels of God! BERNHARD CHRISTENSEN. Student Symposium Voluntary contributions to the Echo are appreciated. However, the editor reserves the right to reject, delete, or revamp any material. Letters should be concise and of general interest to the readers of the paper. The name of the contributor must be attached to the manuscript, but it may be kept out of print if the writer so wishes. The Echo cannot accept responsibility for views expressed in this column. To the Editor: Is it signiﬁcant that in a college of 428 students there should exist such utter lack of man and woman rela- tionship as persists on our campus? What seems to be the cause of this lack? After a fair amount of delibera- tion the writer of this article has come to a number of conclusions in regard to that relationship which does not exist. I. It is true that a number of beautiful relationships have ﬂowered forth on our campus, but it is also true that a greater number have been stiﬂed by the meddling ﬁngers of those who want to “ﬁx it up." 2. If a fellow and coed “dale”, and they happen to be seen by the right parties, presto: they are going “steady”. Consequently for the rest of the year they cannot date another person This is absolutely one of the greatest atrocities being perpetrated on our campus. 3. It has been the ill fortune of some individuals to possess a mind so narrow that their ears rub, and of course they display their ignorance by their actions. They have a pe- culiar way of “nosing in" on every— thing. Is it just curiosity or the lack of a juicy topic on which to gos- sip? To be continued. —An Observer. To the Editor: The suggestions made below are, I believe, in accord with the senti- ments of most of our students. Believing that the students, as Christian young people, have some- thing deﬁnite to contribute to our chapel services, we suggest that they be given the opportunity to conduct the chapel exercises once each week, the speakers to be chosen by a com- mittee consisting of Dr. Christensen and students appointed by him. We would not limit this suggested service to student speakers alone, but also to such persons as are talented in ren- dering sacred music. In presenting such a plan in the Echo, I am fully aware that the faculty is and has been capable of giving us chapel services rich in spiritual thought. But being con— ducted as they are, our services al- most exclude the student from par- ticipation other than that of listenerr I feel that if we could participate more actively, as suggested above, the students would take a new interest in this function with a zealousness that would keep abreast of the awakening spreading over the campus. Sincerely, Wesley Gulliksen. ON HAT]... Spring has arrived and with it a colorful array of new hats. A few have even popped up on campus, so the inquiring reporter thought it well to give the men a chance to voice their opinions about them. Lucius Heusser, a Junior, was the ﬁrst to be accosted. His emphatic statement was well supported by facial contortions. He said. “Women’s hats resemble a nightmare served on a plate with a dash of relish." In direct opposition comes the opinion of LeRoy Elster, a Senior. He says that hats nowadays make a woman look like a ﬂower amongst a patch of weeds. He added, “I like ’em!" Most of the freshman fellows had quite deﬁnite opinions, but they weren't so willing to voice them. That was the case with Phil Helland and Brenton Myking, who added that they (the women) might get something yet if given enough time. John Kissinger didn’t seem to think much of that opinion. In despair he said, “No, there's no future in wom- en‘s hats. I give up!" Jimmy Johnson and Donald Holm had about the same ideas. Such words as “putrid”, “terriﬁc” and the like expressed their feelings. “I think some of them look like an inverted ﬂower pot with a feather stuck on," said Roy Erickson when questioned. Chappie is of a divided opinion. He says, “Most of them—phlooey!" Merton Strommen thinks that wom- en's headgear is “the result of un- skilled labor." And so we could go on and on. Well, coeds, here you have them. If your purse permits the purchase of a new Easter bonnet, you could keep this in mind. . . . But then, too, you do have a feminine mind of your own! THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1939 Reviewing : THE YEARLING By Mmoaia KINNAN RAWLINUS This book gives the story of a young boy, Iody by name, who was raised in a farmhouse in the backwde of Florida. The father, Penny Baxter, is a kind, simp]. soul; Ma Baxter is goodhearted but boisterous. Th. farm was very small, hence the rations short. Both father and son, when the farm work was done, were do. lighted to go hunting. They had the most exciting ad. ventures in tracking and shooting bears, wolves, deer and alligators. They listened to the bees’ humming; they loved nature and were happy when on bright sum. mer mornings they rambled through the woods or were drenched by rain at nights. The author, in a lively style, tells the lovely story how Iody ﬁnds a young fawn; how his soul has always been longing for an animal pet since sisters and brothers had all died when they were babies and even his only friend, the son of a neighbor. had left him. Ma Baxter at last. though very reluctantly, gives permission that he may keep his fawn, which he calls Flag. She had been only thinking of the one more mouth that had to be fed while everything was so scarce. Now it is very touching how young Iody gets attached to this deer. He sacriﬁces his milk and vegetables so that his pet has enough to feed on. The author takes great delight in telling us many details. The fawn grows into a yearling. At various times it causes muchdamage, eating and destroying the young corn. At last his ailing father and Ma Baxter insist that it be shot. Now Iody’s hardest hour has come. You can read of his agony only with deepest sympathy. The fawn is killed. Iody runs away from home. He lives through starvation and loneliness. At last he makes up his mind to go back to his sympathetic father and to his mother who after all had been right, but his young heart is still broken. He thinks that never in his life will he ever love anything or anybody more than he had loved Flagﬁ—his Flag which in the last analysis typiﬁed him, its young master. The author occasionally introduces some minor characters to create a humorous atmosphere. I deﬁnitely hold that Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings has given us a ﬁne book which is to be recommended espe- cially to our young people. It is a clean story from be- ginning to end. Our sophisticated generation with rather negative views concerning family-life will perhaps ﬁnd that there is after all happiness possible in matrimony as shown here by this little family. Mas. KARL Eirmscn. Kostic Komments Early last fall four professional surgeons diagnosed Czechoslovakia as a sick man. At the international hos— pital in Munich they found that the ailment was ap< pendicitis. By removing the ruptured appendix, the Sudetenland, the plaguing disease of minority rights was supposed to be solved. But the surgical operations were inadequate. They failed to make the patient recover. Therefore in mercy the surgeon who has established a permanent residence at Munich went into the patient’s room on March 17 without the permission of his three former collaborators and applied the ﬁnishing touches. Afterwards he auda- ciously announced to the world that the deceased died a natural death. To this sad news the two major European democracies gave little attention Upon being questioned as to the fate of their brother they replied in unison saying, “In a modern world the dead must bury their own dead. And should any innocent blood have been shed as is rumored, we wash our hands of the guilt since we were unable to be present during the crucial hour." But unfortunately the matter is not so easily dis- pensed with. The immediate effects of this incident are minor, it is true, but what about the future? Has Hit- ler’s appetite now been quenched? Quite to the contrary, the Fuehrer has not satisﬁed all his aspirations. In his book, “Mein Kampf," he states that he will be satisﬁed with nothing less than a clear sweep to the Black Sea, and as a premium the Russian Ukraine must be added. With the realization of Hitler’s objectives the des- tinies of European democracies are sealed. France can- not long survive when surrounded by fascistic powers on three fronts. Neither can John Bull hope to keep his empire intact after his life line, the Mediterranean, has been severed. But this need not occur. Collective action can still save the day, but if delayed too long the predictions of the prophets of doom will prove correct. Civilization will evacute in favor of barbarianism. Palmer 8. Wold. Chapel Challenges The marvel of the ages is not man, but what God can do with a poor sinner to make him a son of God. Does Christ have a higher purpose for my life than I have been realizing? We may not know the mechanics of the new birth. but we can know the fact. Not eternal understanding, but eternal life, is promised and the Spirit will reveal what is necessary. The Cross of Christ answers the sin problem. It is one thing to be fascinated by truth, but quite an other thing to accept it as one’s own and be directed by it. The beauty of a gracious spirit is commended by Christ. even though it be criticized by the world.

Although they did not come up to pro-season expecta- tions, their play, at times. has veri» ﬁed the assumption that they deserve a hemi- rating than the standings indicate. In many games they have been in the running until the very end, and then have lost by only two or three points. They have been a determining factor in deciding the championship. This giant killer role was played in the last Gustavus game, when the Auggies tripped the Gusties in an overtime by a 46.43 score. On February 14, playing a brand of ball which was slightly below nor- mal, and playing against a vastly im- proved St. Olaf ﬁve, they found them— selves on the shorter end of a 35-32 count. The Auggies led 1946 at the halfway mark, but were outscored from the ﬁeld by a last half scoring Splurge. which resulted in the Vik- ing's ﬁrst victory of the season. Roy Gordon held high scoring Stanton Sheimo to ten points, all coming in the last half, four from the free throw line. After getting off to a brilliant start the Auggies bogged down in the sec- ond half to fall in defeat, February 16, to the mechanical Methodists from Midway. The Pipers played a beau- tiful brand of ball and held the up» per band until the ﬁnal gun. Augsp burg found it difﬁcult to get in for short shots and failed consistently to get the rebounds. The half ended with Ilainline on the long end of a 21.10 count. In the second half Augse burg pulled up to within six points of the Pipers, but there again she bogged down. which gave the St. Paul ﬁve a chance to coast to a victory. Saturday at Winona the Auggies lost their closmg game to a champion Sl’lillrlk‘llt St. Mary’s team by a 43733 score. The game began with a lull, each team scoring only Ohu point in the ﬁrst ﬁve minutes of play. Though Augsburg remained a threat through- out the game. it could not command enough points to forge ahead. In this game Anderson found the basket as he collected thirteen points. Chap~ man trailed with ﬁve, while Messerer and Person gathered four each, In a nonrt-onference game last Thursday the Auggies again met the St. Olaf men. who continued on their winning streak by taking a 412-36 count. The home boys made it close, but could do no better for they were not hitting the basket. Classes Battle For Tourney Crown Tomorrow is the \vindrup day for the InterrClass Basketball Tournav ment. Two games are being played each day of the week. Highlighting the schedule is the SophomorcA Junior battle tonight and the ﬁnal game tomorrow evening between the Freshmen and Sophomores All classes are represented in the tournament. The Freshman squad, coached by Lundquist, is made up mostly of Viking men, while Bahre’s Sophomore team is comprised largely of Park Board League players. Be- cause of its many reserves and hard Maroons, Vikings Win Park Games While the varsity squad has been playing its games at the Armory, other teams have been playing their games at the city high schools. A week ago Thursday, after having won two games out of ﬁve in the ﬁrst round of the Parkboard League, Lars Nesvig’s Maroons beat the Fresh squad by a 224? count; Framstad, Tungseth, and Russ Quanbeck pla ing a good defensive game, while Krohn continued to play his usual good ﬂoor game. The Vikings in their last two games have broken even, losing one and winning the other. Their loss was to the 38th Street Grand Avenue Merchants by the score of 18-17. In their other game with the 59th Brigade of the Minneapolis Armory, they came out on the long end of a 35-18 score. In this contest the Vik» ings showed their best teamwork of the year, Maurice Nygren and Men- tor Johnson being the key men. The Whites, coached by “Gob” Mickelson, have been less fortunate. In their game with Union 544 a Week ago Wednesday, they led all the way, but were nosed out in the end by a 30-25 count. Clayt Thompson, Jerry Benson, and McKinny all showed to good advantage. SENIOR LETTERMAN Another senior to leave the portals of Augsburg in June is , Lorrin Dahlager, ‘ star athlete, from ‘ Starbuck, Minn. The rugged and rangy senior has seen ac- tive service in both bas ‘tball and base- ball for the past four years. After Lorrm Dahlager the current basket- ball and baseball season “Dooley” “'lll have won eight major monogram‘ as the result of four years of participa- tion in two major sports. However, his keenest interest has been in the great game of football, Where he has played a leading part in intramural games. The removal of intercollegiate football the year before his matricula~ tion at Augsburg prevented "Dooley" from winning his share of honors. “Dooley” plans to teach mathema- tics and Chemistry and coach upon graduation. Good luck, and may your amazing athletic record at Augsburg stand as a model for young aspiring athletes to emulate. lighting regulars, among whom are Karl Krohn and “Red” Rhodes, the Sophomore class must be rated as a leading contender for the coveted number one position. "Bull" Gordon’s Junior team has two men on it that bear watching, “Gob” Michelson and Erling Tungseth. The second up- perclass team, the Seniors, piloted by Jerry Person, have Roger Thompson. “Bugga” Benson, and Lute Strom- men as their mainstays.

Little Henry Chapman, the mighty mite of your basketball team. is tha hero of the piece. He was one of the ﬁrst managers selected by Ed. Currie, head resident of Pillsbury House, to organize an All-Nations basketball team in the tournlment scheduled March 8-9-11—12. Chuppie will pilot the Swedes in the tourna- ment, and he will be one of three playing managers in the annual classic. But Chuppie was reluctant to write anything about himself {or his own paper, so you’ll have to take this dope from me. Henry has most of his team lined up already, but he’s hold- ing up the announcement while he scouts around for a real star or two to ﬁll key positions. On his tentative playing list to date are the Rev. Rube Youngdahl, Ken Anderson, Ruben Johnson and four or ﬁve others. Chappie had planned on using big Warren Johnson of Hamline, but the Piper captain, on advice of Athletic Director Joe Hut- ton, is going out for track instead. Hope Henry forgives us for scoop- ing a scooper. -~ QUALITY FOOTWEAR EDA v5 9 “Blood Will Tell”; £ Norsemen, Swedes Clash . l “Slaa svenskei'ne ﬁate!” yelled thel Norse-men as they stormed upon the Swedes. “S15 ihjal!” returned the Swedes as they redouble-d their eﬁorts to stem the charging Norsenlen. Those were the battle cries of the revolting Scandinavians on the Aug- gie campus as they clashed on the “crackerbux” basketball court yester~ day.

Isolation is recommended as the contagion in easily spread by direct contact and through dishes. It seems to have subsided now that the dishes in the Dining Hall are urdully steamed. Pneumonia complications often result so the epidemic is serious in that respect. Alumni Directory Released as Association Project An Augsburg Alumni Directory hes Just been published by the Alum- ni Association, the ﬁrst of its kind to he issued. It marks the achievement of one of the eight objectives or “points of action" for reassess. The compilation of the directory was un- der the supervision of Abner Batal— dan. secretary o! the Association. Over two hundred names have been added to the list of alumni, thus swelling the total number of grad- uates to about eleven hundred. A perusal of the directory reveals that I75 of the alumni are pastors. There are also civil engineers, doctors, housewives. missionaries, business men, state employees, social workers, attorneys, senators, editors, and many others. The oldest living alumnus is Rev. L. J. Olson, retired, of Minneapolis. He graduated in the class of 1880. The Blegen family has ﬁve of its members listed. 01 these, one is a doctor, two are professors, a lourth member is teaching, and the ﬁfth is engaged in business. 01' the thirteen members of the class of 1922 there are seven pastors. a college president, a doctor of philosophy, two college professors. a “sober. and a member of J.

He very vividly narrated character sketches of some of Augsburg’s form- cr professors and presidents, among whom were Sven Oftedal, Georg Sverdrup, and E. A. Urscth. These sketches were excerpts from his latest book, “Fifty Years in America." Mr. Running emigrated to America from Norway at the age of seventeen. He attended public schools in Minne- sota, and later attended the state university. After completing his schooling, he began writing and has devoted his time since to that work. On February 16 Rev. Leland Wang, a Chinese pastor, spoke at chapel ser- vices. Using the arrow as a founda- tion for his talk, Rev. Wang enumer- ated twelve vital facts concerning an arrow which are applicable to a Christian life. He stated that the arrow is "straight". “It does not go in round about ways as some present day teachings do." It aims at "some- thing deﬁnite" and “leaves an impres- sion when it comes into contact with anything." It is always "ready" and is “dependent”. Finally, when the arrow hits its mark it is the master wielding the bow who receives the praise. and so should our own Master and Redeemer receive the praises.
