Show moreBASKETBALL CHAMPIONS LOOK TO NEXT SEASON With only one of his basketball reg— ulars—Clair Strommen—graduating this year. Coach Robert Carlson can look forward to the next season with well- warranted optimism. He looks backward with satisfaction too on the best Augsburg basketball sea- son since 1927. A record of 19 victories and two losses was compiled. Unbeaten in the practice tilts the Auggies won 11 of 12 Conference games to become co- champions of 1945, together with St. Thomas whose record was identical. All of the regulars: Strommen, Ahlbom, Carl— son, Sween, and Lindgren were placed on various all-state selections, some on one, some on several of the mythical teams. The Auggies were also chosen to rep— resent the Conference in a national tourn- ament at Kansas City in March. They ﬂashed to a lop-sided 64-36 victory in the ﬁrst game, but were edged out in the second when a star guard, Jeroy Carlson sprained his ankle in the ﬁrst ﬁve minutes of play. Had this not occurred the boys would probably have gone much further in the tourney. In post~season celebrations the coach and squad were honored at an "A" Club dinner at Coﬂman Memorial Union, and by the students and faculty at a Chapel Convocation. Gold basketballs, emblematic of the championship, were presented to the following: Clair Strommen, honory captain for 194;; Duane Lindgren; jeroy Carlson; Harold Ahlbom; Donald Sween; Ernest Perry; Richard Chamberlain; Roald No- kleberg; Arne Henjum; George Sverdrup; George Rusnacko; Robert Miller; Roland Gustafson; Coach Carlson; Arnold Hal- srud, trainer; and Phil Boxrud, manager.

' Not even a $2 per plate price tag could dampen the spirits of the 66 enthusiastic ones who came from all points of the compass. Einar Eikrem of Spokane was the distance champion, but there were others from Ferndale, Bellingham, Pouls- bo, and many other places. Various age groups were well repre- sented, too. There were veterans like Pastors J. Mattson, and P. Steen—and "not-yet Auggies" from the Gilbert Berg and Einer Botten families of Seattle. These three young folks are hopeful of attending next year. Helene Thorstenson, Helen Mohn, and Sigvald Hjelmeland did yeoman service in arrangements, etc., but there were other helpers, too. Considering all phases it was one of the ﬁnest gatherings of this type held anywhere. Synnove Stenberg led in invocation. Brother "Ken" had charge of group sing— ing. Einar Botten responded to the stimu- lus of the announcement that Augsburg had a new championship basketball team by leading in a current Auggie_yell of pronounced Norse character. (Botten was cheer-leader in another championship year, 1927.) The under-signed brought greet- ings from the home-base and showed the new Augsburg ﬁlms. Chester Blake as toastmaster kept things moving along throughout at a happy, sometimes hilarious tempo. The Constitution of this “Augsburg As- sociation" provides for membership too on the part of interested folks who may not have attended Augsburg. The pres- ence of a number of such people at the meeting added to the enthusiasm. All in all the success of the Puget Sound Asso- ciation should be a stimulus to other Aug- gie groups in various areas. —N. C.

Show moreALUMNI REVISE CONSTITLH‘ION Old grads and young grads will "move over” to make room for all former Aug- gies in a greatly enlarged Association if the new Constitution proposed by the Alumni Executive Committee is adopted at the Annual Meeting in May. No other matter of business has con- cerned the attention of the Committee to a greater degree during the past months than constitutional revision. The new one incorporates all the good ele- ments of the 1916 edition which is the only one discoverable. It also follows quite closely the pattern of the Model Consti- tution suggested by the American Alumni Council, of which the Augsburg Associ‘ ation is now a member. Of the scores of organizations now connected with the Council Augsburg's seems to be one of the very few that permits only graduates as members of its Association. Auggies who are .unable to attend the annual meeting may have a voice in the business of the Association never-the-less according to the new document. Provi— sion is made for a mail ballot for election of ofﬁcers. Another new feature suggested is the creation of an Alumni Board which will become increasingly important as new re- gional organizations begin to function in various areas. Each region will be asked to delegate a representative to serve on the Board. Since there is a limited time for the business at the next annual meeting, too, the Executive Committee appeals to all Auggics to study the proposed constitu- tion as soon as they receive it, and then report their reactions. At the Home Base CLASS OF 1922 HAS BEST FUND RECORD We begin in this issue the printing of names of donors to the Building Fund by classes. Very proper it is indeed that the President's class has the best record— almost 100% have responded and we be- gin with it. Because of the fact that only one member of the class has not yet con- tributed, and we are sure his gift will be coming, we print the entire list.

It is noted that no sooner do they receive their release from the than they anxiously seek the college of their choice to get fur- ther training along educational lines to prepare for the vocations of their choice. service And Augsburg gets her share of veterans. Having been in the service from one to ﬁve years, they usually know what vocation they want to prepare for. We are happy to report that many of them make plans to go into various ﬁelds of Christian service. It is true that if they have been away from studies for a number of years it is not easy to enter upon the entirely different type of training—to study. Their grades are often not too satisfactory at the beginning but we note too that they are anxious to make good and after becoming accustomed to the nature of their studies there is a marked improvement and a large percentage of them do very good work. Their class response is inspiring both to other students and to their instructors. Augsburg, under the guidance of Pro- fesor E. j. Urdahl, has an adviser service which aims to give her students added assistance whenever needed. This every instructor cooperates most willingly to do. Augsburg's teachers offer a special wel- come to every veteran they may assist in preparing for his life's work. —ARTHUR NASH, Registrar College Enrollment to Hit New High If you are planning to enroll at Augs- burg in the fall or know of students who are planning to enroll, it would be well that room reservations be made now. This can be done by sending a two- dollar ($2.00) room deposit to the Treas— urer's Ofﬁce. Dormitory space is already at a premium and indications are that existing facilities will not accommodate all students who want to enroll in the fall. With 14; new students enrolled in February and a new class of veterans on April 1, the present enrolment stands at 460 in the College and is in the Semi- nary. The summer school registration will also add to this total before September. It is not unlikely that the fall enrolment will reach a new high of about 600 students. Negotiations are now under way to secure ﬁve additional classrooms and add- ed space for physical education near the campus as well as added housing accom- modations for men and women. —R. F. PAUTZ, Director of Public Relations Veterans who attend Augsburg's ﬁrst summer session, June 26 to August 20. will enjoy the possibility of having sev- eral weeks to ﬁsh and frolic during the warm months too without losing any of Uncle Sam’s compensation for attending college. This can be true if the veteran is en— rolled for ball) the regular and the sum- mer sessions. The Veteran’s Administra— tion continues the compensation as long as there are no periods as long as one month between sessions. Augsburg's sum- mer session, ﬁrst in the college's 77 year history, is arranged so that the between— term periods in early and late summer are somewhat less than four weeks each. Eight credits amounting to 16 hours is the maximum load for which a student will be permitted to register. Students other than veterans will be welcome as well. A slightly higher rate of tuition fees, etc., will be charged. The following courses are to be offered: Twentieth Century British and Ameri- can Literature, 2 cr.; Principles of Ethics, 3 cr.: Business Organization and Man- agement, 3 cr.; Speech, 3 cr.; Individual and Dual Sports, 2 cr.; Psychology (is: Semester Course), 2 cr.; Biblical Biogra~ phies, 2 cr.; Urban Sociology, 3 cr.; Fresh- man Composition (znd Sem. Course), 3 cr.; European Civilization (and Sem. Course), 3 cr. Books Received, Fund Established The Adolph Paulson Memorial Prize Fund has recently been established through gifts given by members of the Paulson family. honoring the memory of Profes— sor Adolph Paulson who taught Social Science at Augsburg from 1930 to 193;. The Prize, in the amount of $35.00, is to be awarded annually to the student presenting the best essay on an assigned subject in the ﬁeld of Christian Sociology. Professor Emeritus Andreas Helland re- cently donated a valuable collection of books from his private library, in all 850 volumes, to the Augsburg Library. On account of lack of space, the books will not be catalogued and shelved until the new Library is erected. Alf Harbo, ‘20, is back in teaching work. His home is in Alexandria, Va.

Show more"I Know That My Redeemer Liveth" This word of pious Job has echoed and re-echoed through the centuries as a word of consolation for poor sufferers and as a confession of hope over our open graves. It found its greatest realization on the day when the angel announced to the women the wonderful fact, "Christ is risen.” Since that day Christians have a greater right to hope for redemp- tion and ﬁnal salvation than Job could ever expect or even dream of. It is not merely a longing and a hope as in the case of Job, but a fact: Jesus our Re- deemer liveth. Oh, yes, they killed Him on Calvary that Good Friday and they buried Him in Joseph’s tomb, but the tomb could not hold Him. On Sun- day morning He left the grave, having returned to life. He lived again, and He ever lives, ruling the world and in particular His Church. We easily understand that His enemies who re- alized the importance of His resurrection would get busy and try to suppress the truth. "His disciples stole Him; He did not die at all,” they said. They tried to explain away the empty tomb for it was em— barrassing to them. But all their attempts were of no avail. Christ lives and rules. Is not His Church with her 400 million children, her glorious history, her work for the welfare of humanity a living testimony of His rule and His life-giving power? He is the Son of God as He testiﬁed under oath before Caiphas; He is the Saviour of the world. Eas- ter brings the Father’s answer to the Son’s "It is ﬁnished” on the cross. Indeed, it is ﬁnished: our sal- vation is worked out—completely—nothing to be added by ourselves. Job says: "I know. . .” Do you know it from a per- sonal experience? Oh, you may perhaps answer, "The Bible says so, and I never question the Bible.” That’s ﬁne! Oh, that all Christians could say so! The truth of the Bible never depends on our experiences. The word of the Bible must stand and will stand even if all our experiences contradict it. It is a ﬁne and de- sirable thing if our cold intellect accepts the Biblical truth, but it is most blessed if our heart experiences it; if we are gripped by the living Saviour, and His power makes us glad and happy and courageous and strong and successful; if this living Saviour becomes our best friend—and not only a friend who lives far away, to whom we write occasionally, but a friend with whom we are in daily contact, whom we feel as an ever present help, an intimate associate! Think of His power in the later lives of His disciples, es- KARI. ERMISCH pecially of Paul; think of the martyrs, of all those in the course of centuries who in the power of the risen Saviour have done His work as teachers, preach- ers, writers, missionaries, and merciful Samaritans. Think of Luther who fought for the pure Gospel, and while he faced the Pope and the Emperor, was conscious of the fact that the Lord of the Church was with him, yea, that he, Luther, was only an instru- ment in His hand through which He himself, the liv- ing Saviour, fought all the battles. We may have the same assurance in all the struggles and sufferings and disappointments of life, in sickness, in days of heartache and despair. Oh, let us hold fast to the Eas- ter fact and say with Job: I know that my Redeemer liveth. Hallelujah! Banquet on Decoration Day 3 The Alumni Banquet will be held the night of graduation, May 30, at 5:30 P. M. Make your reservation early to be sure of a place. Price of tickets will l be $1.25 each.

Show more\ "Not . Very Big Brick, But . Solid One" She is an aged Christian lady, living her twilight years in an old people’s home. She belongs to a con- gregation which was conducting its drive for the Victory Building Fund. No one cared to approach her, however, because she has but a small monthly allowance. Only three dollars is left after living ex- penses are deducted. But she was not the kind to be kept out of this project. When an opportunity came she thrust two dollars into the hands of a visitor who would be able to see to it that the gift would go to the right place. Two dollars out of the three that were to suf- ﬁce for the entire month! No wonder the friend of the visitor commented: “It won’t buy a very big brick, but it’ll be a solid one!” Building solidly for the Kingdom requires more than steel and stone, mortar and bricks. Obedience and consecration, prayer and sacriﬁce, these are some of the things that, along with money and materials, make solid establishments for the Kingdom of Christ. Friends of Augsburg rejoice in believing that hun- dreds of very solid bricks are going into the new Library—Science Hall. AWC Backs New Building Project The Augsburg Women’s Club is a youngster—as far as organization’s ages are concerned. But if ac— complishment is any criterion the AVG has already proved its right to be listed in the category of “grown-ups”. Organized about four years ago with a speciﬁc aim of developing a student loan fund it has made a splen- did beginning, with over $1200 set aside for that purpose now. Service projects have occupied much time and efforts, too, such as: sponsoring "parent and teacher nights” at Augsburg; helping get dormitories ready in the war years when there has been much shifting ' about of accomodations; and supplying hostesses for serving members of the L.F.C. Convention when Augsburg and Trinity Church “invited” this gather- ing. Now an additional project undertaken is that of supplying furnishings and equipment for the new quarters to be occupied by the home economics de- partment in the new building. But the women will succeed, and they will do worthwhile things at the same time! They have raised money previously by annual "smorgasbords,” and by publishing the "Augsburg Cook Book.” Both methods have worked out very successfully. Now they are busy getting ready for a "Gift Shop” to be operated in the pre—Christmas season. Items to be sold are being made by the ladies as they learn various crafts related to home economics. They have a workroom in Old Main and are busy every Thursday evening. Chip-carving, knitting and de- signing, decorative and art painting, re-ﬁnishing an- tique furniture—these are some of the things they do. They “learn as they earn,” and what’s more, they’re anxious to enlist others to have a part in their ﬁne program of activities. About 100 names are on the list now. Faculty women, wives of faculty and staff members, former students and their mothers, as well as other interested women, are welcomed. To help its membership keep wide awake on prob— lems of the day outstanding people are called in to speak at regular meetings. This year talks are be- ing given by many outstanding men, such as Her- man Olson, City Planning Engineer of Minneapolis; Police Chief Ed Ryan; Dean Schweickhart of the U. of Minn.; and others. Present ofﬁcers are: president, Mrs. H. P. Opseth; vice president, Miss Alma Jensen; recording secre- tary, Mrs. R. C. Thompson; treasurer, Mrs. H.

Anderson NOVEMBER 1 94 5 AUGSBURG BULLETIN "Oh, How Shall I Receive Him?" This Christmas message was no doubt one of the last things written by Prof. Melby before his death. There is a quality of timelessncss about the article reminding us of the eternal Word. Except for a reference to the year, 1945, thcrc is not a single word which is not applicable today. "He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believed on his name.” John 1:11, 12. r_._ _.._,‘.’_........_N:..u.. .‘ Each Christmas season raises anew the thought of Christ’s Re- ception among men. On His ar- rival in our wicked, old world the receptions given to the Lord Jesus varied from heart’s adoration to deadly hostility, and so it has continued to be even down to our own day. Let us review some of th05e receptions of Jesus. ANCIENT MEN In crowded Bethlehem His arrival was unnoticed by the town’s people. Catsar’s decree of registration had brought so many strangers to the little Judean village that every one was too busily engaged with his own affairs to give time or thought to a child born in a stable that Christmas night. And so Mary . . . "laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.” Later, how- ever, a place was found for them in a house. Matt. 2:11. Preoccupation pure and simple was the chief reason for the disgraceful reception given to the heavenly king in Bethlehem so long ago. The decree of Caesar over-shadowed the promised gift of God to men for those people. Indifference characterized the attitude of the Jew- ish leaders to the coming of the Lord Jesus. When the rumor-disturbed king, Herod, inquired of the chief priests and scribes the place of the Christ-child’s birth, they calmly told him exactly where the Mes- siah was to be born. We read: "And when he (Herod) had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judxa: for thus it is written by the pro- phet.” Matt. 2:4-6. However, the Jewish leaders were too indifferent to do anything about it—too disinterested even to verify the rumors of the Messiah’s birth. The heavenly host which sang that night was ﬁlled with praises to God. For while they had no personal share in the revealed salvation, they understood some— thing of the glbry of the angel's message to men. For "The angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord’.” Luke 2:10, 1 1. And so the heavenly host sang: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:14. The shepherds were ﬁlled with fear and joy.

" i: A i "Flyer Warns Church” Such is the title of an article widely publicized in the Church press and written by S/SGT. VERNON BLIKSTAD, ’43, shortly before his discharge. It ap- peared as the leading article in the Religious Digest recently. (In the same issue appeared "Psychology’s Contribution to Soul Care” by Dr. John Stensvaag, ’36.) We quote herewith the concluding portion of Blikstad’s article: “After hearing enthusiastic sermons on Sin, Re— pentance, Regeneration, Personal Salvation, and other cardinal biblical doctrines of the Church by aroused i Chaplains, listening to these truths under combat conditions (when God takes you aside), it is going . to be a let-down to come back to the incompetency and spiritual laxity of many churches. It was this I same complacency, impotency, and incompetency that crept into the spiritual life of Germany, France, and many of these other countries, leaving them open to the warped governments and conditions that pre- vailed. A very similar situation is very prevalent today in England also. I have heard godly, funda- mental chaplains who have made a ﬁrst-hand study of European spirituality say that the same fate will come to America within ﬁfty years if there is not a national repentance and revival of Christianity. Yes, it should arouse every Christian who says he loves God and his country, to swing into immediate action. Instead of taking time for wholesale con- demnation of others, he should be carrying on a searching examination of himself, accompanied by a spirit of repentance that means a forsaking of sin. “It doesn’t take an expert to see that a cure for the world and the prevention of another, more bloody war will not be found in the enactment of some new law, in a series of peace conferences or seen-4 rity pacts, but ony in another revival of Christena.’ '1 dom throughout the entire world. ‘ ‘ "If the Church fails again this time, then the bomber crews that we lost from this air base, like ‘ if hundreds of thousands elsewhere, have died in vain." if: 5?. .31

Show moreMuch-travelled Aussie Writes oi Potsdam, Paris . . . Perhaps no other Augsburg servicee attended as many con- ference of "big-wigs” during the war as Louis Flom (39-40). Louis was fortunate enough to serve as a petty ofﬁcer on the secretarial staff of the higher-ups in Washington, and so came his golden opportunities. He has been good enough to supply the former-student-oﬁce with accounts of several of his travels. Here are some portions of a letter received recently: Nov. I, 1945 Dear Friend: I shamefully realize that this discourse summariz- ing what may appropriately be entitled "Flight to Berlin” has reached you at a date unduly late. Fur- thermore, I am in no position to offer a legitimate excuse for such obvious negligence. Therefore, I will presumptiously adhere to the saying "better late than .never” and continue, that is, if you will kindly bear with me. 3(- 3l- #- IN PARIS We continued walking—there were no cabs to hail, and to ride in the horse-driven carriages necessitated an expenditure of at least 500 francs (ten American dollars)—and because of the many distractions along the way, it wasn’t until much later that we abruptly realized we were totally lost. As a final alternative we attempted hitch-hiking, and in that endeavor, we were successful. A kindly looking man, who evi- dently sympathized with our obvious predicament, drove up in a highly polished French automobile and, in very well spoken English, insisted on taking us for a city-wide tour. Need I say, without hesitation, we gratefully accepted his hospitality. We soon learned that our driver was of Swiss descent, but more interesting was his companion, a 20-year-old Swiss youth who for three years had been a victim of atrocious treatment in the much publicized horror camp, Buchenwald. Thanks to the driver’s commendable ability as an interpreter, we learned from the Swiss lad that he was the sole sur- vivor of I25 people who had comprised one ward in said horror camp. The other 124 victims had died horrible deaths of torture and starvation. With hard- ly the strength to breathe, he had laid helplessly in the nauseating stench of wholesale murder for nine days before Allied rescue. He cited a number of in- cidents that occurred everywhere about him during his last days at Buchenwald which I won’t relate here because, I know from experience, they are stomach- turning tales. When we saw him several months after his rehabilitation, he was still a pitiful sight; his hair was gone; his face was drawn to the extent that his nose bones were almost puncturing his color- less skin, but yet he was happy. He had been spared life, with the vague possibility of regaining his health. Then and there, we realized, as never before, how fortunate we are never to have been the victims of such barbarism as that administered by the Nazi regime. ‘ AT POTSDAM We were quartered in, what was two months prior to the Conference, a spacious Nunnery. It would well compare with one of the ﬁnest sororities in the states, elaborately furnished, e. g., I had a great time alternating on the three grand pianos throughout the house during the stay there. The reason why these homes appeared as though they were untouched by the occupation troops was, because of the forthcom- ing Conference, the Russian forces in their initial oc- cupation of this section were ordered to leave the houses in their present state with the exception of literally throwing the Germans out of their respec— tive homes. Looting in their behalf was strictly for— hidden. This is a speciﬁc example bearing directly on "the Russian way of doing things” in regard to their sys-' tem of deiiberately evacuating the Germans from their homes. The Russians ordered a wealthy, mid- dle—aged woman to get out of her magniﬁcent man- sion in precisely ﬁfteen minutes, to leave things as they were with emphasis on the fact that she was never to return. Hastily, she went out in her mas- sive backyard and commenced digging a hole to bury her money and valuables in. Unfortunately, she hadn’t ﬁnished when the Russians returned. Without a word of ﬁnal warning they shot her in the back, kicked her in the hole she was digging and nonchal- antly covered her up. Little did she realize that she was preparing her own grave. Later, her neighbors returned and paid last rites to her by transplanting ﬂowers from her garden onto her grave. That was routine duty for the Russians. seas»:- Aside from the fact that serving as an ofﬁcial con- stituent of the historical Potsdam Conference and that seeing how the other half lives was truly an invaluable educational experience, I’ll] be thoroughly content if I can, hereafter, acquire my education within stateside boundaries. There is just no place like home. 7 7 Sincerely, Lows A WM“- “44.”. .e

The new building will be L shaped, fronting arst Avenue. The Library part will be the short side of the L paralleling seventh street. When will it be built? As soon as 90 per cent of the cost is available in cash and bonds, and materials and labor are procurable. What is tbe Building Fund status now? When the former student drive mounts to the $75,000 goal we will be "over the top”. About $54,000 has been subscribed by former students of their $75,000 goal. The Lutheran Free Church committee for the drive is setting a new objective of $300,000 for their joint campaign (for Augsburg and Oak Grove). $250,000 will be Augsburg’s share. The grand total reached so far is $232,000. BOOK GIFT A gift of forty volumes of books was presented recently to the Augsburg Library by Emil Fossan ’3 0, who has been working with the United States Army Intelligence in Europe. Included in the collection are books pertaining to Sanskrit literature, Sanskrit poe- try in translation, Jewish history, French literature, and Latin literature. Several speciﬁc titles include: Schrader and Jevans, "Prehistoric Antiquities of the Argan Peoples”; Maimonides, “Guide for the Pet- plexed" translated from the Arabic by M. Friedland- er; Buhler, “The Indian Sect of the Jaines.” AUGGIE EDITOR VISITS EUROPE In his capacity as Editor of the Ansgar Lutheran, of the United Danish Lutheran Church, Rev. John M. Jensen, ’20, recently visited Denmark. He made the trip on behalf of his denomination to confer with church leaders there on postwar needs. He spent three weeks talking with men and women of all classes, pastors, bishops, and theological profes- sors. He said it was his impression that the Danish Church has not experienced any great revival during the war, but that pastors have become much more popular because of their part in the resistance move- ment and this has served to strengthen the Church’s position among the people.
