Show more'I‘hvrv is one mursv at Augsburg in which the M‘llulm‘s are supposed to say in honesty, “It's all Greek to me." llr. (iolucvi tests a few Greek students to see whether or not the Aorist of irregular writs is sigmnliv. One of the more favorite spots on campus seems to be the library where students go to read books that are to be “chewed” or “digested.” Some just go to study. Of course the faculty goes there to work on advanced degrees and others to get all they can out of the place before they lift their eyes to the newest building on campus. “AUCSBURG: WORLD PANORAMA” Although Augsburg’s homecoming festivities were coordinated under this theme, a glance at its language department reveals that the phrase is not limited to homecoming week. The courses in Scan- dinavian, Germanic, and Romantic languages par- ticularly attempt to bring students representative pictures of life in these countries. All of the language clubs united into a Cos- mopolitan Club during the past year. At each meet- ing of the club, a different class contributed to the program. The progressive combination of brick, mortar, glass, etc., on the northwest corner of the quadran- gle during the past year focused attention not only on the physical library to be housed there, but also on the proposed curriculum in library science. From 1955 and forward, Auggies may add to their lists of specialized study a minor in library science which will represent study of its most effective use for themselves and others. Show less

L. Weum, R. Nelson. R. Carlson, B. Mestemacher, E. Nixon, B. Hilleque, G. Bruins, D. Bergtson. R. Swanson. Augsburg’s basketball season can be summed up best by a lack of consistency. Throughout the season the team was plagued by the inability to put together two halves of good basketball. A well—played half would often be followed with a poorly played second half. These cold streaks often proved damaging to the Auggie victory aspirations. Two of the highlights of the season came against Bethel and St. Thomas. Although the game with Bethel was non—conference, the Aug- gies put together two halves of fast—break basketball and rolled up 113 points. In one of the final games of the season, Augsburg beat St. Thomas and knocked them out of any contention for the title. The Auggie cagers went in to the St. Thomas game as the under- dog without a chance to win. However, as coach Ernie Anderson had said all season, if the Auggies could put two good halves of basketball together, they would be tough to beat. They did this during the St. Thomas game and scored the biggest upset of the season. The cagers were led by captain Ron Nelson, as he scored consistently throughout the season. Ron joined the elite few who have scored over a thousand points in their basketball career at Augsburg. The Auggies will l6$e only one out of this year's 12 lettermen so with this valuable experience, the Augsburg basketball hopes for next year are promising. Ron Nelson hops past his man on the way to an Auggie basket. Show less
