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. Noncom ference games with Carleton and Con» eordia colleges have also been ar- (Eens President Honors Varsity Squad A banquet honoring the Auggie basketeers of the past season was given by President Bernhard Chris- tensen on Monday, March 13, at Carl- son’s Cafe on 27th Avenue and Lake Street.

Loren Thor— son was unable to attend because of illness. Seniors Capture Class Cage Trophy, Although the Juniors played one more game than the Seniors, they did not have enough points to win the Interelass Basketball Championship.

There is material in abundance from both the freshmen ranks and the upperclasses. Three or last sear son's veteran hurlers, Ace Hoberg, the playboy and captain from River- side chapel, Jim Gronseth, a boy from Minneapolis, and George Anderson, Marshall athlete, have already start- ed to “limber up" their stiff old soup bones. 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. Another great base- baller to report is Brenten kaing, a hurler and semiypro from Starbuek, Minn. All games will be played at the VeteransY Hospital ﬁeld and practices are to be held at Riverside Park. Let's support the baseball team, which can best be done by attending all the home games. 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. The pool that Augsburg is using is at the Riverside Municipal Baths, on Riverside and 22nd Avenue. Easter Specials Dependable Cleaning by Banners Cleaners HERMAN OLSON O.

Everyone was given a chance to play. However, the Augsburg girls gained a victory over the nurses by the close score of 30 to 25. The nurses showed their Swedish hospitality by serving lunch. The W. A. A. is plan- ning for a return game in the near future. Roommates Tangle In Badminton Match The Men’s Badminton Tournament ending last week ended up in I battle between roommates, Irv Nerdahl and “Ahuu” Hellickson. After his defeat in the opening en- counter, Nerdahl rallied to swamp Hellickson decisively in the ﬁnal two games, 15-10 and 15-4, which won him the men's championship.

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.

Show moreFACE FOUR Auggies Decisive But III-Faled In State 01gb Tills Augsburg's “Mighty Mites" of the conference have completed another basketball season. 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.

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.

Mr. has], instructor of Journalism at locale-tor, will be called upon to act as a per-ans“. faculty adviser. It is thought that with a guiding hand from year to year the organintiou will be able to achieve its purpose.

N. - a. o n n i n g. a dis- m_ L w.“ tinguished writer and, until recent months. editor of the “Friend”. 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.

Show moreTHURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1939 Social At West Hall Climaxes Skate Season "hat call to skater-s!" that was the call echoed across the campus Friday, February 17, as the last student skat- ing party got under way. The ice was still in good condition, and those who went down there reported a good time. The girls at West Hall served lunch after the party, the proceeds of which were added to the rapidly increasing sum of money set aside for the girls’ new dormitory. They served the largest crowd yet to turn out for a skating party. Bob Chalmers was tosstmaster at the social hour after lunch. The dor- mitory girls had prepared a few numbers to add variety to the pro- gram. Two piano duets and a vocal selection comprised the musical num- bers on this program. “The Fire at Kuiparut's," a Norwegian dialect mding, was given by a “stumbling block" dressed in ancient clothes and horn rimmed spectacles. Extamporaneous speeches and group singing, led by Leslie Brandt, composed the rest of the program. Interview Reveals Contents of Library Our college library contains about 18,000 volumes. Included in this total is a 7,000 volume surplus which is stored in the attic of the Main Build- ing, and which consists principally of bound magazines in the Scandinavian and German tongues. The Theological department has an excellent collec- tion of books shelved in the library. The college collection is adequate but because of the lack of funds and lack of shelf space the purchases each year are at a minimum. New books are purchased when- ever necessary Money for these purchases is taken from the student library fee and from special grants by the Board of Trustees. About fifty magazines and perio- dicals are currently received. The various science collections are ade- quate, although not elaborate. The seating capacity of the library is about seventy. During the fore» nouns and early afternoons the room is generally overcrowded, but the ad- ditional reading room recently pro- vided in Old Main has offered a par- tial solution to this problem In 1928 the library was completely reorganized and classiﬁed according to the Dewey Decimal system. The same year Miss Selma Storien be- came chief librarian. Miss Storien is a graduate of Augsburg College and the Minnesota University Library School, and has done graduate work at the Universities of Minnesota and Chicago. She is a member of the American Library Associatioii. Assisting Miss Storien is Miss Else Person, a student at the library school of the University of Minne~ Iota.

It is said that at one time Larry planned on attending Augs- burg, but was discouraged because we did not have intercollegiate foot- ball. Some of the boys are agreed that the only convenience that was left out of the new dorm was a public address system that could bring the chapel services to their rooms and the men’s lounge. We think that you lads are expecting too much. so you had bet- ter go to chapel and “till your lamps with oil"; you’ll ﬁnd in later life it is going to be an important factor. hrryﬂuhlzr Louis Greene, ace sports writer for the Minneapolis Tribune, can’t figure out why the Augsburg student body has so much pep and follows the team so loyally when they are where they are. He said that Augsburg is the miller! school he has ever seen or heard. and he has contacted a lot of them in his ﬁfteen years 0/ sports writing. Let’s keep up the spirit next year, but don’t ever play the bays up too hiyh. You know we had them praised up to be state chanlplbm— and that‘s a lot to live up to in this conference—and when things did [[0 wrong they just folded right up.

Sveeggen SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: $1.00 PER YEAR “Seeing all things through the eyes of Christ.” “Our Certain Inalienable Rights” One thing which we in America pride our— selves on is our tolerance. We have embodied in our constitution provisions insuring freedom of expression and conviction. We sometimes wonder, however, whether there is not a tendency at Augsburg to curtail some of these privileges. A bold question—but is there freedom of speech and conviction at Augsburg? A good way to incur the disfavor of the student body is to give expression in pub- lic to an unpleasant or unpopular sentiment. Sometimes it is even disastrous to conﬁde in a fellow student, for there seem to be a few indi- viduals who take delight in being stool»pigeons and gossip mongers. Conditions such as these lead to unwholesome intolerance and narrow-mindedness. One can't say what he thinks because it “gets around" and “reacts.” It isn‘t wise to disagree. Two things we need: The ﬁrst is tolerance. Instead of undemocratic censoring we should give due respect and consideration (but not necessarily accedence) to opinions at variance with our own. We should be broad-minded and appreciative, respect conﬁdences, and encourage honesty and frankness of expression. Secondly, we need honest self-assertiveness. Daniel's “dare to stand alone” attitude is cer- tainly more manly and healthy than the vacilla— tion and emasculated two-facedness of a Mr. Milque—toast. Say what you mean and back up what you say. If you don't believe in the Bible, don’t display it conspicuously on your desk dur< ing Open House. If you reprobate the athletes to one student, don’t enthuse over sports with a basketball fan the next minute. And why smile and fawn at an instructor (although unfor- tunately it sometimes seems to be necessary), when behind his back you wish he were at some other school? “An honest man," says Pope, and we would add, a tolerant man, “is the noblest work of God.” A pportioning Our Time For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep. and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a. time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. —Solormm (Eccl. 321-8.) The Echo stall extends its deepest sympathies to Harold Ahlberg, whose mother passed away recently.

To strengthen our faltering purposes and uncertain wills, however, we may covenant with chosen comrades for mutual exercise in the life of the spirit; and the fruitage of our adventure will be but little injured thereby. Best, though, is it if that burden which we assume for the sake of others and for the kingdom remain simply as a part of the life which we live, with little thought given to it, saw we Thee hungry, or athirst . . The evangelical way to “keep special responsibilities that are la “Lord, when . '!"

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: I am taking this opportunity to ex- press my opinion, as well as the opinion of a majority of the students. concerning our athletic director. Since I am a senior this year and can derive absolutely no beneﬁts from this article, my viewpoints are un- prejudiced and unbiased. Everyone realizes that in order to have an infallible structure the foun- dation must be ﬂawless. It was at a time when the foundation of the athle» tic department seemed to be crumb- ling that Mr. Pautz became our di- rector. Through his efficient, untir- ing efforts the weakened spots of the department have been strengthened and rebuilt. In fact, he has done such a remarkable job that “higher- ups" in the state have said, “Outside of the University of Minnesota, Augs— burg has one of the best recreational programs in the state." Does this not prove the increasing efficiency of the department? However, a structure is not judged wholly by its foundation nor can it be erected in a single day by one man. So it is with our athletic department. Mr. Pautz should have the whole- hearted cooperation of the student body as Well as the administration. I am sure that within a year or so he will have Augsburg’s athletic pro- gram on the highest plane that it has ever realized. I sincerely hope that nothing will prevent the completion of the build- ing which is now being so master- fully erected by our athletic director, "Dick" Pautz, —Hoyt Mesac'rer. To the Editor: As thousands of letters pour in from every nook and corner of the Augsburg campus, many highlights and lowlights are exposed. One of the most interesting and, I think, the most proper at the present time, is a letter signed “Gradie”. This letter gives many suggestions for the im- provement of social life and etiquette Student Symposium in meeting the ever new challenges v—‘BEENHARD CHRISTENSEN. at Augsburg. There are a number of rules for the Augsburg Dining Palace that I think very appropriate. 1. Anyone late three nights in a row for supper shall be deprived of his dessert on fourth or preceding evening meal. 2. Anyone talking out loud to a waiter must go to the nearest corner and stand with his face towards the wall until other members of his table have started their dessert. 3. When ringing the bell for an- nouncements the element of vulgarity would be removed if instead of a series of uncoordinated rings a ring of two shorts and three longs be sub— stituted. 4. The more noticeable wearing ap- parel of the stronger sex should con- sist of a tie colored between a light tan and a grayish pink. Shirts should also be of a more desirable color, pre- ferably white, with initials plainly sewed or embroidered on the left side of the third button from the collar. These four rules comprise the most important ones of the many sent in, because they suggest corrections of the gravest importance—at the present time. The writer of this article is only sorry that he could not publish all rules sent in, but any sug— gestions sent in at a future date, showing insight and deep thought upon the situation as it now stands, will no doubt be published. -—Molly Fluff. t‘r (Editor's note: No more material on this subject will be accepted for publication in the Echo.) Quo Vadimus? THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1939 Kostic Komments There was a distinct minority in the Protestant Church which was unable to appreciate fully the sorrow that swept over the entire world when the aged Pontiﬂ quietly passed away three weeks ago. It looked scathing- ly at the ﬂags which in every Christian nation ﬂuttered at half staﬁ, and found very little justiﬁcation for the " l of formal " ' to Vatican , by dictators, presidents and kings alike. To members of this group it was just a wasteful expenditure of en- ergy. But then the question is instantly raised, Is this the proper attitude toward the “Vicar” who so recently oc- cupied the traditional throne of St. Peter? To this restricted question a negative reply is the only recourse. But should the subject be considered in a larger sense, from a historical viewpoint, then the con- tention of the minority already spoken of may be 391-. iously considered. The argument of the latter rests on the contradictory roll played by the papacy in the past. They argue, did not the Catholic Church nurse learning and oppose scientiﬁc truth; bulwark morals and foster immorality; shield the opprest and aid tyrants; champion tolerance and persecute unbelievers? Then, if this is admitted, why grieve over the departure of the 266th pope! 0n the other hand, those who mourn with the 360 million Catholics over their great loss take into con- sideration the many contributions of the late pope to twentieth century civilization rather than the historic record of the Church. To them history is not the all important. The apparent discrepancies of an institution and its various heads in the past does not necessarily determine present and future effectiveness. With this a ﬁnger is pointed to the Pontiif’s vigorous ﬁght for uni- versal peace and staunch opposition to atrocities, whether they be commited by nations or individuals. It is this inﬂuence that will be greatly missed in the future, and over which nations and their peoples lament. —PALMB Wow. In Conclusion Another basketball season is history, The game at St. Mary’s terminated a basketball season of many “ups” and “downs”, with emphasis on the “downs”, as the Aug- gies were contented to eat the dust kicked off the heels of eight conference foes which gave them undisputed possession of the cellar. Beautiful theories have been propounded why Augs- burg didn‘t win her share of basketball games, but b9- fore we speak of the weakness of our past team, Which everyone agreed looked the best on paper, let us consider the comparative strength of the eight competing teams. Can we expect Augsburg to vie with teams, some of which are even subsidized teams that number ten and twelve men of equal caliber? Nevertheless, whatever the cause, it is perfectly safe to aver that this year’s team has done a grand piece of work, considering the material, and the number of men of college caliber. Five or six men in tough conference competition is not enough. Forty minutes of fast basketball require at least ten out- standing athletes. So let‘s give credit where credit is due. Although we were not so successful in the win column, deﬁnite things were clearly shown from the past season. Commendable was the enthusiasm and cooperation shown by the students despite a losing team. Every game gave proof that Augsburg has the best rooters and pep«band in the conference. After all one of the most important things in intercollegiate competition is to bring the st - dent body into closer unity for the purpose of main- taining a greater school loyalty. On behalf of the Echo sports staff this writer wishes to congratulate the Stu- dent Body for the ﬁne spirit shown during the past basketball season. —SANFORD MlcmsoN.

Monday evening. The lirst quarter was a battle of freer throws with the Auggies on top. The half ended with II llHG count for the Minneapolis ﬁve. The Gusties came back fast in the lust half to tie the score, but they never led until the third period. The game changed hands eight times, and proved to be just that kind of a battle.

Failing to pull out of a slump", the crippled Auggies dropped a close decision to Macalester last Thursday. Augsburg got off to a brilliant lead; after four minutes of play they led by 11.2. The score was 17.17 at the half-“'8 ‘ mark. Macalester ﬁnally won by eight points, 39-31. Remaining conference games are those with Gustavus tonight, St. Olaf next Tuesday.

For the third year in succession the Auggies have been forced to swallow the bitter pill of defeat at the ex- pense of the league-busting Huttonites by three points. Last year, and the preceding year Hamline managed to squeeze out victories by narrow mar- gins. This year was a duplication of the same performance, only to have a belated Auggie rally fall short. De- spite numerous injuries to our Squad the boys showed the best form in shooting and passing this season. Captain Hoyt )Iessei-er riding the bench because of a badly wrenchcd knee, was out of the line-up. George Anderson forward, reached his peak when he ﬂipped in seven ﬁeld goals In this game he received a severely sprained ankle that hampered his smooth pass ing and shooting in the “Mac” game. Limping badly lit-cause of a sprained ankle, he did not ﬁnd himself ln the to be the outstanding player. Evidence of this can be easily seen the column whci-r he Iegistered a goose egg.

I was not eligible all the time, because I played hockey, too. In 1923—1929 Augsburg had the U. S, Amateur Hockey championship team." Speaking of hockey, Mr. llansiln added that “it is all right, just as good as anything else. I just make a good living. . . , In a couple of years I am quitting this league. and if I can I will join the National League, but you can ncvci- tell," In answer to a querry about his brothe Mr. Hanson stated that “Joe is teaching, Leivi. is a chemist with the Sinclair on Company of New York, .Iulius is a pastor in Montana, Emil plays hockey for St. Paul in our league, and Emery plays in the big league with the Cleveland Barrons.” Mr. Ching Johnson, the popular playerslnanager of the Minneapolis Millers, expressed himself my fav vorany on Hanson, and tagged him as one or the most Valuable players in the league. Sunday night Mr. Hanson scored ﬁve of Minneapolis' ﬁfteen goals to help the Millers break an all-time American Association record.

The Women‘s Self-Government Association at the U. of M. carried on an interesting poll on “What I like and don’t like about men." Considera- tion, kindness and courtesy ranked ﬁrst, followed by neatness and grooming. humor, personality, brains and high morals.

It pays to advertise. . . . The women of Augsburg are determined to have a new dorm.

But as yet practice has been too limited to give any estimate of the possibili- ties in the men. Practice has been set at 3:30 on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, with the following men appearing on the floor: Lucius Heusser, John Pry- mack, Kenneth Carlson, Wesley Gul- licksen, George Johnson, Elmer Fryk- man, and Paul Ronning.

Show moreTHURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1989 Former Auggie Responsible for Stassen Victory Julian Sletten, who graduated from Augsburg in 1926, has been acclaimed as one of the chief nieu responsible for getting Harold E. Stassen elected to the governor-ship of Minnesota, and is now holding an important position in the State Highway Department. Mr. Sletten revealed to Lucius Heusser in an interview last week that the ﬁrst real hurdle of the cam- paiga was to pat Stassen through the primary election, and this was accomplished to a large extent by the governor himself, because he was thought to be the ideal candidate for the oﬂice, and he also had a very strong personal appeal. The part Mr. Sletten played in the election was to personally manage the primary election in Hennepin county. He traveled around to vari- ous church groups with the one pur- pose to sell his candidate to the peo- ple. Governor Stassen has appointed Julian Sletten to be the Administra- tive Assistant in the Highway De— partment. He has charge of the per- sonnel and public relations, and is ai - ing in the reorganization of this de- partment. His big job is to cut down the number of persons employed. There are now eight thousand em- ployed by the state in this one de— partment. The Highway Department has been termed the “dumping ground of political-pull jobs” for the past ad- ministration. In conclusion Mr. Sletten said, "Harold E. Stassen is the hardest working governor Minnesota has ever had. He works day and night for the state, and what he needs most is the moral support and conﬁdence of the people of Minnesota.” Mr. Sletten is a teacher at Mar< shall High School, and was given a leave of absence in order to conduct the campaign. He is the son of Dr. 0. H. Sletten of St. Olaf Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, and is a lawyer by profession. Society Hears of Gideon Program “The Mission Society has been very fortunate in their speakers during this winter period," stated Clem- mence Dyrud, chairman of the pro- gram committee, in an interview Wednesday. On January 29, Mr. Gustave Uppman, a representative of the Gideonitcs, gave a brief history of the origin and the work of the society. Bibles have been placed in hotels, and now the work is extending to penal institutions, air liners, and schools. Last year, said Mr. Upp- man, over 1,300 Bibles were placed in Minneapolis schools alone. Through the courtesy of the Dollar Steamship Lines the Gideonites are able to place Bibles in any foreign country at the same price it would cost in Amer ca. On February 5 the Roy. L.

Svecu “Seeing all things through the eyes of Chris ." A Toast To the new Echo staff which will be taking over with the next issue we extend our congra- tulations and best wishes. To those who have worked with us faithfully we say thank you. We have appreciated your unselﬁsh efforts, and have enjoyed working together with you in the enterprise of publishing a college newspaper. There is one thing a project of this nature imprints indelibly upon the consciousness of every individual who has assumed responsibility for its success, and that is the absolute depen— dence of our modern social and economic order upon cooperation. The Echo staff is a miniature of our world situation as a whole. When each individual does his part, all is well, but the de- ﬁciencies of one person throw the entire organi- zation out of joint. We have long said that a person can not be an individualist in our present-day order. Hu- man aﬂ‘airs are too closely interrelated to per- mit anything but close conformity to the pat- terns of society. It means that we must realize we are but one of billions of ﬁsh in the sea of life. and that for our own welfare and for that of socxety, the sooner we reallze we are but an- other one of those ﬁsh the better. This is some- what destructive of a superiority complex, but most of us suffer more than we realize of acute hyperinﬂation of the egocentric interest and a gross overevaluation of our importance. Real greatness lies in doing what we have to do well, and in cooperating with our fellow men in making this a better world to live in. Balanced Diet What is college? Is it a sort of cloister, a “Palace of Art", where one devotes all his time to attending lectures, doing collateral study, and satisfying bodily needs? Maybe we‘re wrong, but there seems to be a deﬁciency in this lecture-study-eat-sleep menu. We neglect the personality in our purely brain- stuﬁing program. We graduate as valedic- torians, but look at our record: We had no so- cial or extracurricular interests, we never left the block except during vacations, and never took in a basketball game, concert or outside lecture. We do not wish to disparage scholarship—no, we rather commend it; but is not college life more than just study? It should prepare us for service and leadership. But how far will we get with personalities “so cold that they do not even radiate coldness . . . like a zero with the circle rubbed out"? But we are extremists; if we don‘t make re- cluses out of ourselves we become social butter» ﬂies. Tossing books aside, we join a plethora of clubs, over-socialize, take in all functions, and as a result graduate with a rather flimsy B. A. and an education devoid of all intellectual content. Leadership does not lie in this direc- tion. What we need is a balanced combination of scholarship on one hand and of social expression and interest on the other: personality—not just brains, and not just clubs. AUGSBURG ECHO WITH OUR REVIEWER “THROUGH THE LANDS OF THE BIBLE" By B. V. Mom-on It is usually not our privilege to travel in as many lands as this writer has done; yet we can vilit these places vicariously through our reading. Not only can we travel in strange lands through this book, but also into past centuries through brilliant historical sketches. The travels of Mr. Morton consist mainly of tours through Egypt and Arabia and up along the Euphrates river. In Egypt he found the masses of people living a very primitive agricultural life. He also found some sponge ﬁshers among them. The pyra- mids of Egypt, however, impressed him most, with their unusual magni- ﬁcance revealing the masonry of the ancients. How the slaves must have toiled to make the remains of the Pharaohs to dwell in safety! In his travels through Arabia Mr. Morton came across the ruins of ancient cities on the sandy desert. The ruins of Babylon he found particularly in- teresting; they have been of special interest to archeologists, too. If it were just for the historical information it contains. this book would be of value. Behind all the monasteries the author visited there is always the life-history of some saint which he relates with a novel touch. Writing on his visit to the ruins of Babylon he discusses the life and reign of Nebuchadneznr. He considers the importance of the reign of Alexander the Great in laying a cultural basis for the coming of Christianity. What is most interest- ing from the historical point of view is the fact that the Coptic church of Egypt, even though that land has been under the strong inﬂuence of the Moslems, has retained an interest- ing strain of Christianity. This is derived from Monophyism, a heresy that developed from the belief that Christ is not man, but God only, and that His earthly life was an appari- tion. Throughout its history this church has suffered untold persecu- ..-_ “a u. —L—l. ..,,, 1.... in". spent in an effort to survive. hence it has made little progress. Mr. Mor- ion has an interesting theory. too, Dodd, Mead and Co. tracing the Celtic church to its origin In the Coptic church of Egypt. He buses his assumption upon the simi- larity of the customs and particular- ly of the architecture of the two churches. He ﬁnds further evidence in the fut that lrishmen traveled through Egypt in the sixth century. This book is indeed valuable from the point of view of style. It is de» scriptive—tuking one through the an- cient lands of the Old Testament, the land of Abraham, and the lands of the wandering children of Israel. The author shows tolerance and insight in interpreting the lives of these primi- tive people. There is a book that brings close to us the lands where man ﬁrst caught sight of the “Uni- versal Truth." —Maryurct Chrislock. Quo Vadimus? An authentic Chinese setting lures you to John’s Place, 28 South 6th St. Here you can eat Chinese dishes with chopsticks. Have your tea leaves read at the Russian Bear Ten Shop, 20 South 10th Street, a restful, individual tea room with a real Russian atmosphere. You will ﬁnd a bit of Sweden right here in Minneapolis at the Skansen Swedish Restaurant, 10th Street and 2nd Avenue South. They serve the wholesome and delicious food of no- tive Sweden. “Smorgisbord”, the traditional Swedish dining custom with a buffet of over 25 dishes, is served every Sunday from 12 to 7:30 P. M. Enjoy rich, full-ﬂavored Jewish- style cooking at Mum’s Cafe, on 11 North 7th Street. You will enjoy the excellent food at Well’s Cafe in the Foshay Tower Building. One of its most attractive features is the privacy of the little dining-room-like booths. wink 7.... a“ .t u.‘ r...i.-, mm“, a trip up to the thirtieth ﬂoor to get a birds'eye view of the city is well worth the 25 cent charge. 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: Will you pardon a few words from an “insider” at Augsburg? As an insider, I too, wish to express my gratitude and appreciation for the New Dormitory and Dining Hall, It has in many respects created a new atmosphere at Augsburg. Yes, and to the extent that it may be proving the destruction of its true family characteristic. Personality is not totally exempli- ﬁed in dress. Thanks for that! We realize the signiﬁcance of dress in personality, but here at Augsburg we -wish to make no one feel as a black sheep or a “lost” individual because he wears no “tie”. Our friend, the “Grad”, should realize that the stu- dent body does not consist of students of such ﬁnancial status as to enable them to possess two or three dress suits or a “tux” to wear for the eve~ ning meal. This condition does not prevail at Augsburg, thus promoting a true family spirit. We feel that sweaters are ﬁtting and proper for the happy family oc- casion of the evening meal. Never may a student at Augsburg feel as an outcast or “lost” because he wears a sweater or a shirt without a tie. Our Dining Hall is a very "restful" place, but may it never become a stiﬁ and rigid formal banquet hall during our evening meal. —Hurold Haugland. Student Symposium To the Editor: Rugged individualism supplanting cooperation and “Christian Communi- ty Living" at Augsburg was set forth in the last issue of the Echo. Speci- ﬁc instances were cited to show where we have fallen short. We would like to express here the sentiments of the students now occu- pying Memorial Hall. Some time ago the occupants of Memorial Hall convened to determine ways and means of making life in our new dormitory a happy and pro- ﬁtable one. Cooperation, technically, means “Collective action for mutual proﬁt or common beneﬁt.” The oc- cupants of Memorial Hall met with this understanding to promote com— mon beneﬁts through collective action. This meeting proceeded in a democra- t‘c manner, devoid of “unwarranted excitement and antagonism.’n It was an example of “voluntary submission of the individual for the greater group good," because it very demo- cratically expressed the true senti- ments and opinions of the students as a group. We welcome individual freedom. It is imperative in “Chris- tian Community Living" as an EX< pression of personality, and can only be realized when the interest of the individual is subordinated to group interest. The recommendations of the group were submitted to the administration in the spirit of cooperation, and with the possibility of creating a friendly and Christian atmosphere in our new home. It was accepted in the same light of cooperation. When a group of students meet for the sole purpose of discussing inbelv ligently the problems and need of the group, to solve and ponder a solu— tion—is not this cooperation? Junfnrd Michelson, '40. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 9, 1989 In Appreciation (Note: The folowing message was delivered over a special Augsburg broadcast on January 22, the time being donated by station WCCO.) It has been well said that “an institution is but the lengthened shadow of a great man." With equal truth is might be slid that men. both great and small, live their lives in the shadow of great institutions. Even the builders of I new age in the life of mankind draw deeply from the resources of already existing institu- tions. Socrates learns from the Sophists. The Renais- sauce is rooted in the classic ages. Even Christ builds upon the Old Testament. In the present time of transition in our country, there is a special call for those institutions through which the cherished values of our people’s past my be preserved and transmitted to coming generations. One such in- stitution, occupying a place of strategic importance in a time when our heritage of freedom, both political ind religious, is being threatened. is the Christian college, which from the very beginnings of our country has stood as a bulwark of democratic government, of religious liberty, of spiritual content in our civilization. In the life of America today and tomorrow, therefore, few things can be of greater importance than that these colleges be preserved, free from unwarranted ﬁnancial burdens and true to their high heritage and calling. Every American who loves his country, and the Chris- tian Church, has a responsibility to fulﬁll in making this possible. During the past year and a half Augsburg has been engaged in a joyous venture of faith expressed in the erection of Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall. We are deeply grateful that. that venture, through the gifts and cooperation of thousands of friends, both in the city of Minneapolis and throughout the Northwest, has proved to be a demonstration of the power of sincere faith and united effort. As we are gathered today in this broad- cast, with thousands listening together, Augsburg ex- tends a greeting of gratitude to all who have helped to make victory possible. And above all, together we lift our hearts in thanksgiving to God, Who is the True Giver of all the gifts that we give as well as of all that we receive. —Bornhard Christensen. Koslic Komments The pulling of strategic political “ropes” by any major party is noW regarded as a delicate art by politicians, and can be successfully performed only by the astute. This factor in political success has been accepted both in theory and in practice by President Roosevelt in the past, but to the dismay of many Democrats the heterodox political philosophy of the Chief Executive has caused him to sacriﬁce—at least temporarily, this technique in 1939. Maybe a new leaf has been turned. The ﬁrst miss-move on the part of the Chief Executive occurred during the ﬁrst week of this congressional session, when he prepared his budgetary recommendm tions. In it no mention was made of curtailing federal expenditures. Neither did he include his former pro- fession of balancing the budget. This is unfortunate and leads the American public to believe that he is not responsive to the changing tide of public opinion which upon this very issue gave the Republicans the majority of their victories last November at the polls. Although the second digressive step is of less impor- tance than the ﬁrst, it deserves mention. This pertains to the appointment of Frank Murphy, the defeated governor of Michigan, to the Attorney Generalship. Even though Mr. Murphy has had considerable experience in administrative work and legal matters, these factors in his appointment should logically have been overshadowed by the fact that his policies were overwhelmingly repu« diated by the people of the state of Michigan. Had the appointment been based on civil service, a different con< clusion would have been the natural consequent, but under the existing conditions this move on the part of the President cannot possibly be recognized as good political strategy. —P. B. W. Chapel Challenges There is only one path in which God will walk with us, and it is called the narrow road which leads unto life. The only hope of Cl ‘lization today is redeemed men and women, and this individual redemption of society is the supreme function and purpose of the Church of Christ. It is by looking to Christ, and by looking at I-Iim steadfastly, that we become Christ-like. The Christian college demands moral gentlemnnly conduct, and intellectual ability. principles, God will pursue you to the very brink of the abyss. but He will not walk (fellowship) with you there. “En- ter ye into the narrow gate."

But perhaps the most bewildered and troubled of all Auggies are the freshmen, who are on the threshhcdd of their ﬁrst college Iemuter examinations. They've had a taste of it in the mid-semester's. but have yet to experience the ﬁnals. On being interviewed some of the freshmen expressed their opinion on the problem, Is follows: Says Jane-“I’ll know what I don't know when it’s over." Bob and Ernie could say but one thing~“Nutsl" Says Ruth—“The exams aren’t so had; it’s what happens when we get them back that hurts," Herman—“The exams are all right, but oh those marks!"

Augburg Students Teach In Church Schools Six Augsburg students are assist- ing the north side Lutheran churches of Minneapolis in conducting a course in religious Education (or the pupils of the public schools. These pupils are excused for one hour each Thurs- day and are escorted to the churches {or classes. The teachers in Elmwood Lutheran are Margie Enemark, grade one; Inez Hinrichs, grade two; Ruth GudimI grade three, and Roy Erickson, grade four. The pastor in charge is Rev. Julius Hermunslie. Oliver Jones and Waldemar Ander- son teaoh grade ﬁve at Gustavus Adolphus. a church aﬁliated with the Lutheran Augustnna Synod. Rev. Adolph Dickhart. pastor of the church. is the supervisorl ‘the University of Minnesota. r—Y Among the new courses to be of- fered next semester is one on the “Trends of Modern Thought.” The Rev. William A. Siege], Instructor in Philosophy, announced that the course will include the study of Marxian Socialism, National de- mocracy, BIrthiInism. and perhaps Socialism, humanism, hehaviorism, and other in- tellectual and cultural movements The philosophical, rather than the political, sociological, aspects of these trends will be em- phasized, Mr. Siegel declared. No prerequisites in philosophy are need- or religious ed for the course. Mr. Siege] graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter. took his Mr A. degree from Washington State College, and his M. Theoll from An- gustana Seminary in Rock Island. He has been working on his doctorate at Gonzago University, Spokane, and at He also spent one year at the University of Chicago. Breckenridge Speaker At Science Circle Drr Wr J. Breckenridge, of the University of Minnesota Zoology De» partment, was guest speaker at the meeting last Tuesday night of the Aristotelian Society. He showed several reel! of - tinn. my: on animal and bird life as he has ob- served it. Dr. Breckenridge has conducted considerable research on Wild life in the Northwest In Minnesota he has made an extensive study of crows (the brochyrhyurhos species, which is gregarious and feeds on grains). Ermisch Prepares Text Dr. Karl Ermisch, teacher in Litur- gies, Church History, Homiletics, and History of Dogma at Augsburg, is now working on a popular commenr tar-y on the Epistle: of the New Tes- tament. Romans, Galatians, Ephor sians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon are ﬁnished; most of] Peter has been completed, and also a part of I CorinthiIns. Rein Lloyd Sand A letter describing his ﬁrst year's experiences as I missioan in Sudan, Africa. was received recently from Rev. Lloyd Sand. a former Augs- burgerl The letter was a month and I hIlf on the road. l Missionary Writes From Sudan Most of Rev. SInd’s work has been carried on among natives of the Boyd tribe in Sudan. “The Bayas", he writes, “are worshippers of their dead ancestors. They offer food gifts to their ancestors . . . not for sins, but to gain the favor of the departed. There is a belief in the devil and de- mons. and they are feared much. AL though the French have outlawed some of the worst practises, the witch- doctors still have great power over the people. The things most diﬁcult for the Bayas to give up are poly- gamy and the many kinds of dances, especially the funeral dance. but sins of all kinds have I ﬁrm grip on them." The Sudan Mission. under which Mr. Sand is working, is an inter synodical Lutheran faith enterprise. Another Augsburger serving on the Sudan mission ﬁeld is Mabel Nostbak- ken, ’32-‘34. Mr. SInd graduated from Augsburg college in 1923 After teaching three yars, he entered the seminary department. gnduating in 1935. He sailed for the mission ﬁeld two years later, and is now located at Meiganga, via N’gaoundere. via Douala, Cameroung Frlnuis, Africa. 1939 NYMBER 5 Milton, Melby To Speak During Evange Coed Athletes Fete Dean oF Women “The ideal girl athlete develops loveliness and poiSthy'sical, men- tal, and emotional poise," said Missl Mortensen as guest speaker at the’ Women's Athletic Association ban» quet held January 13 at Memorial Hall.

The best way to convinl'c him to comc and stay is to he friendly to tho ,u-r-snu with whom he sta, fond thull, surw 1y, he’ll want to v lt you, unless llt‘ has been to you before! An inﬁlterable virus, not yet isolat- ed, causes mumps and is \l‘allsmittL-il through secretions of th- nusu and throat, and therefore it is by quin- direct contact that om- contracts the dis use. The ﬁrst symptoms lilt‘ usually slight fever, malaise, and lo~s of appetite. In about two days thr parotid gland (near angle of the jaw) on one or both sides begins to swell, causing diﬁ'iculty in opening the mouth and swallowing. Swelling subsides in ﬁve to ten days. It is dur- ing the time when the gland is swolr len that the disease is contagious. The incubation period is from eight een to twentyeone days. If you have had mumps on both sides you are imr mime, but if only on one side you are still susceptible to the disease. During the last month there have been three cases of mumps at Augsv burg.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: $1.00 PER YEAR “ A ECHO", Ave. 5., Minneapolis, “Seeing all things through the eyes of Christ.” Into The Future “I hope that one hundred per cent of you students will take up post graduate work. Of course, that will probably never be realized; but it would be ﬁne if at least a large proportion of you would go into advanced study." This state— ment, expressed by our president in a recent chapel message, is timely and appropriate. The real value or desirability of advanced work in specialized ﬁelds of study lies not in the recognition and public acclaim which may be accorded one, nor in the access it gives to more remunerative employment, nor even in the glory redounding to the institution one repre- sents. Graduate study achieves its purpose when it becomes the medium for higher forms of ser- vice. Greater stress can well be laid upon more graduate work among Lutheran students. There is a need in our colleges and universities for educators of a deﬁnitely Christian stamp. Espe- cially in state institutions is this evident. There is need in our pulpits and in the Lutheran Church as a whole for men who are not only dynamically aﬂame with love for Christ (which is, of course, of ﬁrst importance). but who are also equipped with the intellectual and cultural requisites for leadership among an intelligent and progressive youth. There is need in the professional world for Lutheran scientists, psychologists, philo- sophers, sociologists, politicians, and writers— for men and women whose Christian inﬂuence will counteract the atheistic materialism of our modern times. It is true perhaps that not all of us will go into graduate study; indeed, not all of us should. But certainly we would urge with our president that more might tap these vaster and deeper re- servoirs of truth, converting newly-released po- tentialities into practical Christian service among men. And You? At the beginning of the school year, Dr. Chris- tensen set forth the ideal of “Christian Com- munity Living" for us at Augsburg. This ideal demands voluntary submission of the individual for the greater group good, cooperation instead of rugged individualism. The great majority have cooperated fairly well, but to those disciples of rugged individual- ism who Worship individual freedom and follow Cain in asking “Am I my brother’s keeper," let us address another plea, pointing to some spe— ciﬁc instances where we have fallen short. At the occupancy of Memorial Hall there was an unwarranted excitement and antagonism be- cause of a few rules. The administration should consider us as being beyond the cradle stage, it is true, but we should show them a greater amount of respect and cooperation. For this issue of the Echo many writers re- sponded after the deadline that they didn’t have time. They couldn’t take ﬁfteen minutes to co- operate with the editors, while they could waste hours. The dining hall at dinner last Sunday remind- ed one of a medieval church where men sat on one side and the women on the other. In this “Christian Community" we are our brothers' keepers. We should be disciples of Christ, not of Cain. We should be cooperators, not rugged individualists. AUGSBURG ECHO FLASHES From Times Square Wowl Oopsl Ouchl (You mustn't say “excuse me," in New York). Bungl Slam! Booml I-Ieyl “Hubby Nu Yeeh”l Subway trains and sta- tions jammed with a bubbling mass of humanity; wild eyed singing answer- ed by rollicking boots and inter- spersed by a occasional misplaced "Hallelujah"; a thronging mob re~ velling on the street, many wearing decorative paper hats, and some in full costume — moving. shouting, ' ‘ " bells, tooting horns—big 36" bass horns, little tenor horns, all kinds of horns. They were selling them everywhere, even though 86 persons were in custody by 9 P. M. for peddling without license. Upward of 1,000,000 people crowded into and around Times Square, windows boarded up for pro— tection, 128 mounted police, and 1300 on foot were present to keep order, two policemen and a ﬁreman guard- ing each ﬁre alarm box against the too thoughtful, and occasional am- bulances sprinkled around waiting for emergency calls. What a bedlam of humanity! Any county fair on Satur- day night would be a puppy com- parison. And here I am, right in the midst of it. “I gotta ﬁnd Sam." I wallow for ﬁfteen minutes to cover three blocks. “Hi, Sam!" (11:45). Back to Broadway we go (one block). We push on towards the center of the square. (11:55).—Making little pro- gress. You don’t decide where you go, but go where the crowd goes. So you just struggle into a group going your way. Here come a half-dozen sailors. Now we’re in their ranks. Pushl PUSHH PUSH” This is worse than a tug of war. (11:59)— Moving slowly. O-o-o-fff~f». Now they’re all shoving. “Hold yourself together, chief!" How do these ladies keep their ribs intact? Down we fall six inches. How come? It must be the curb. Yeah! I lift my feet (slightly), but am carried along su- spended by the crowd. Watch that clockl There! 12:00 What They Think 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 50 wishes. The Echo cannot accept responsibility for views expressed in this column. To the Editor: I suppose I’m just an “outsider,” Mr. Editor, and yet I hardly feel that any Augsburg graduate ever feels like a real outsider. However, be that as it may, I want to congratulate the students in Memorial Hall on their new home, and all the students on their new Dining Hall. The whole building seems to have created a new atmosphere at Augsburg. I noticed that in the Dining Hall most of the men dressed for dinner, which is a ﬁne thing—at least I think so. It shows a natural reﬁnement and respect for themselves and others. of course, there were some who didn’t bother to dress, but who were only sweaters, sweatshirts, etc, but they were in the minority and looked de< cidedly out of place. There was one who looked especially “lost"7he wore only a shirt and trousers, and no tic. I presume they were Freshmen, so there is still hope that they will abv sorb some Dining Hall etiquette at Augsburg. Guess I’m just an old crank, but I’ve never liked to see men come to dinner “sloppily” dressed—or women either. Sweaters are as out of place on women as on men (except athletes?) at dinner. It's a beauti~ ful, “restful” room though, and we grads are happy to have had a share in building it. Don’t print this unless you want to, because after all I’m just an “out- sider." May Memorial Hall always be a blessing to Augsburg and its students and faculty. Sincerely, —”Grad.” o'clock midnightl The ultra-decorated Christmas tree ﬂashes on and the ﬁre-bull falls from the ﬂagpole of the Times Building, symbolical for many years of the passing of one old year and the coming of the new, as people hoot, toot, and jingle bells like cave-men and try to move like a bunch of swarmed bees being disturbed. Ohll 0h! There! A sailor tries for the ﬁrst "one" in the new year, called in Southern arithmetic, 2+0, or in Wheatoniun slang, “smooching”, or in Eastern physiology, “The anato- mical juxtaposition of two orbicular muscles in a state of contraction".

Running, published by the Friend Publishing Co., Minneapolis, 1938. The veteran editor of the "Friend" gave us this delightful book as a Christmas present. It is an autobio- graphy, written in his usual happy style. But it is also something more. It is a bit of cultural history, for across its pages move several of the outstanding spiritual and intellectual leaders of the generation that has now all but passed. The author knew most of them personally and many of them ' timately, and he has in brief but vivid sketches given us their sil- houettes. As he has focused them they appear both attractive and in- spiring. Autobiographies are apt to be apologetic. Running has not made that mistake. He does not take him- self too seriously. In simple, forth- right fashion, often with delicious humor and sparkling wit, he relates his experiences as a newcomer lad dumped down in a strange and puzzling environment. It involved numerous adjustments, but he soon got his bearings and found himself. The story is very human and at times moving. Seldom has the present re- viewer read a book with so much pleasure. To our young people this should be a revealing book, for it touches problems that most of them must face. It also sketches in rapid strokes their cultural background. Their at tention is apt to have been so closely riveted to the material phase of the “Winning of the West," that they are scarcely aware of the deeper moral and spiritual forces that wrought our social fabric. They will discover some of these in the present book. It should ﬁnd a place in our homes and in our libraries. —H. N. Hendricks”. MIDNIGHT MUSINGS ’Twas the eve of a math test, When all through the night, In my small bedroom window There burned a bright light. The house seemed deserted, Such a hush ﬁlled the air, As I lazily slumped In a deep rocking chair. My math text lay open It‘s pages worn gray. But I was not reviewing, For the math test next day. All at once through my musings There burst a loud clatter, Which sounded much like A girl’s incessant chatter. I then saw before me A slip of bright yellow, Which converted me into A very blue fellow. Can you guess the reason My spirit had sunk? It was merely the thought of a much dreaded “ﬂunk”. So take warning from me; Don’t blame teachers or fate, But prepare for those tests Before it's too late. . . . —By Harvey Sperry. THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1930 Responsibility Language is the unique possession of human being. on earth. other creatures are no doubt able to exchange certain forms of signalling, but man alone is able to order and present his thoughts in coherent, meaningful statements. The realm of promises, therefore, belongs on earth to man alone. Man alone, in the earthly realm, can "lul- ﬁll his promises," or “break his word.” Without ques- tion this constitutes one of his greatest endowments, as well as one of the chief areas in which his character is tested. In fact, does not character, to a very large extent. con- sist in just this quality: the strength and courage to be true to one’s word'.’ Promises, of course, may be either explicit or implicit. Some things are deﬁnitely promised in so many words. Others are accepted implicitly without the necmsity of uttered statement. Persons of character understand this without its even being said. For example, when I am invited to my friend’s home, I am not asked to sign a document stating that I will not steal any of his beautiful possessions. It is understood without being mentioned. When I accept a position as a teuber, I do not execube a bond as to the details of my work. It in not necessary among persons of character. When I en- roll as n student, I am not asked to subscribe to exten- sive codes of study. By the act at enrolling I have already given my implicit promise to give my best to the work. A skilled laborer is not asked to promise to render faithful service. That is implicit in his being employed for the job. Similar illustrations might be multipled from every phase of the life of society. Human life, wherever it is lived on earth, consist! very largely in making and keeping (or failing to keep) one’s promises. In this relatively simple unit of socill and ethical experience human character is forged for life eternaer proved worthless, “good for nothing, but to be cast out’ ’forever. The Christian college can give to its students no ﬁner heritage than a high sense of honesty in facing each responsibility, whether great or small. —Bernhard Christensen. Kostic Komments “Britain‘s policy of ‘peace»at-any-price’ may extend so far that she will permit Germany to establish an air base in Canada before reverting to war,” said Mr. Kerb nedy, United States ambassador to Great Britain, in a conference with President Roosevelt, Tuesday, January 10. Such news is terrifying to the American public. Even those among us who have been lulled to sleep by the re— assuring statements of such prominent men as Admiral Yul'nell, Captain Knox of the United States Navy, and Admiral William S. Sims, feel our inner quietude dis- turbed. _Should Germany receive such a prodigious con- cession, then certainly our American citiesiNew York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and our nation’s capitol would be within convenient bombing distance by German squad~ rons. But let us go further. We cannot afford to lose our sense of equilibrium. After all, maybe Mr. Kennedy’s statement has been purposely exaggerated by propa- gandists. Then, too, do you think for a moment that Canada, entrenched in all the precepts that we hold dear, would permit the mother country to divest her of even one iota of her territory? Moreover, is there any rea- son to believe that any democratic power, unless it is totally insane, would commit suicide by slashing its own throat? This, however, does not mean that we should unhesi- tatingly dispense with the warnings given by our ambas- sadors. Such action, or neglect of action, would be utter folly. 0n the contrary, let us take accurate cognizance of the facts, analyzing them thoroughly and without bias. If we do otherwise, we may, as did Rome of old, unintentionally forfeit some very valuable information which will deﬁnitely affect our national integrity. —Palmer Wold. Chapel Challenges Since "I am a part of all that I have met," good ex- periences can make me better. Conscious choice of ex- periences (thought and action) is worthy of effort. “whatsoever thy hand ﬁndeth to do, do it with thy might." A greater Augsburg means a more whelehearted con< secretion. A new day has begun for her. Memorial Hall is a gift from God to Augsburg. It stands as a testimony of faith, to which these words can fittineg be ascribed: "It is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our sight." Knowledge dedicated to Christ is power, and lasts for eternity. Each piece of ﬁne work becomes a stimulus to greater work. New Year’s resolutions are good because they give us a new impulse for improvement. No one needs to be a slave to circumstances. We have a great deal to say about the nature and quality of our lives.

Skating, tobogganing, skiing, and hiking are being spon— sored by the intramural department, while basketball as usual retains its great interest during the winter months. Skating parties will continue to be held each Friday during January and perhaps February. As a supplement to and substitute for the Friday night skating, toboggan parties will be held. All the various winter activities are to be combined into a day’s out- ing on Scholar’s Night Out, January 27, at the conclusion of the semester ﬁnals. A location within or near the city will be selected where each per- son can enjoy his favorite pastime. This year the intramural depart- ment has three basketball teams en- tercd in the Park Board League. In their ﬁrst game of the season the ﬁghting Vikings trimmed the 35th Street and Grand Merchants 2!) to 15.
