The lectures are given each Thurs- day afternoon in Room 2'7 at 4:30, and are open to all girls who are in- terested Several demonstration din- ners are being planned whereby the girls may carry out in practice the details learned in lectures.

A lecommendatinn to that effect. drawn by the Athletic Committee and approved by the Augsburg faculty, was given sancv tion by the Augsburg Board of Trus- tees which met at Augsburg on Thursday and Friday to make plans for the coming school year. Augsburg's decision to resume inn teroollegiate competition in football has been made in order to balance the physwal education program. .-\ug~‘~ burg, however, will continue to em» phasize Strongly her present program of “athletics and physical activity for every student," in keeping with the recent trends in physical educa- tion. The reintroduction of intercul- legiate football as an integral part of Augsburg's physical education program has been anticipated for some time and it is felt that it is awards has standardized pins, and keys, so that there will he no difier- ence between those presented this year and those of future years, Some} prominent changes are: raising ofi the forensic requirements, recugni-l tion of the freshman athletes andl cheerleaders, presentation of goldl medals to senior choir members with four years of participation, silver medals for three years, and bronze for two years Chester Hoberg is in charge of the ticket sales, Thelma Emberson is chairman of the program committee, Marion Land of the general arrange- ments, and Lucius Heusser and Ver- non Blikatad of the publicity pro- gram. Seniors initiate New Gift Plan The senior class is inaugurating a new plan this year to leave a gift of money to Augsburg. Non-interest bearing promisury notes of whatever amount each senior will designate, and payable by one fifth of the amount each year for five years, will be signed by the members of the‘ class. This money is to be put into a building fund for the next new build- ing to be erected. Also included in the plan is the suggestion to future senior cla. es that they follow the precedent estab- lished by the class of 1939 to build for a “Greater Augsburg." The committee in charge of draw- ing up this plan is Marion Lund, sistance at 2720 Oakland Ave., Min- neapolis. chairman, Hoyt Messerer, Lori-in Dahlager, and Donald Holm.

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 team is at present having dif- ficulty in securing a coach.

Joe Ylvisaker and Olaf John- son are the two proud senior class papas who were honored by a few of their friends at the luncheon. athletes. Victim No. three is Hoyt Messerer, captain of Augsburg’s ’38-'39 basket- ball team. On March 26, 1939, Mr. Messerer became engaged to Miss Leone O’Halloran, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William O’Hallorun of Chaska, Minn. — Messerer’s home town. Miss O’Hulloran is employed by the Northwestern Bell Company of Minneapolis.

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.

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. Show less

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.

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.

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.

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 less

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.

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.

Bigger and Better Augsburgian Promised An announcement in chapel Feb. 9 oflciaiiy opened the subscription drive for the 1939 Augsburyian. Nearly two hundred students signed subscriptions on the first day of the drive, and the circulation committee reports that a large number have signed since Lawrence Quanbeck, editor-in- chief; Donald Holm, business man- ager: and Lawrence Gudmestad, cir- culation manager, plan to make this year’s Augsburyian bigger and bet- ter than ever before, and they urge the student body to give them and the rest of the staff full support in order that it might be a successful undertaking.

The Music Club is also sponsoring a series of weekly Music Apprecia (ion Hours, with the purpose of in wrestiug Augsburg students in the music of famous composers. Leslie Brandt, president of the club, an- nounces that if enough interest is shown in the weekly programs, the organization may later present a num- ber of outside artists or students of music.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

But as yet practice has been too limited to give any estimate of the possibili- ties in the men.

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.
