Mayo Savold, director of the Augs- burg College Choral Club and the Augsburg College Band. recently qualiﬁed for a second time to have his biography included in THE IN‘ TERNATIONAL WHO'S WHO IN MUSIC, an honorary society for out- standing musicians.

C., and Can- ada. While in New York, the choir recorded at NBC. This was released in a nation-wide broadcast February 7 and rebroadcast over KSTP on Feb- ruary 9. From Madison, Wis., Alexius Bass of the Capital Times writes, “In this day of gross materialism, cheap pop- ular trash which poses under the name of music, and fourth-rate tele~ vision vaudeville, it is refreshing and hope-inspiring to know that there are institutions like Augsburg College where the cultivation of genuine mu- . a - - - 99 sic is a major actwnty.

Show morePacific Lodge Boys’ Home Phillip C. Morgan Across from my desk sits a mother with tearrﬁlled eyes—her boy, age 13, has been expelled from school and is in trouble with the police be- cause of stealing in the neighbor hood. Upon questioning her, I ﬁnd that she is divorced, has been re” married. and that the stepfather has not accepted this boy in the home. She feels that if he were away from the home, he would eventually act cept the new parent and that time will heal everything. Most of our boys have essentially the same pat’ tern: broken homesirejecting par— ents. Lack of love and understand' ing by parents is the primary reason for boys and girls in trouble today. A solid. Christian family, who plan most of their activity around the home and who try to understand the problems of youth today and meet it with love, kindness, and understanding, have the key to suc‘ cess with their children. 10 years of working with delinquent and pre‘ delinquent children have convinced me more than ever of the need for “home solidarity," Christian center» ed, with the church as the "rock." Church centered activity with "dad" and "mom" participating is the an, swer to security for youngsters. With this preface. I will tell you about PaCific Lodge Boys~ Home. Located in the beautiful foothills of the Santa Monica mountains in the west end of the fabulous San Fer' nando Valley in Woodland Hills, California, we occupy 42 rolling acres. At present, we care for 65 boys on a 24‘hour basis, most of whom are wards of the Juvenile Court of Los Angeles County. Placed here because of unfavorable home situations, Paciﬁc Lodge offers a home where love and kindness perr sists. It is a substitute home, but boys are shown that someone cares for them. Our cottages of Spanish architecture offer a “homey” atmOS’ phere. Our staff of 18 all have the same desire—that of helping boys— showing them that “someone” cares for them! Our physical plant consists of 3 cottages. each housing 22 boys. Live ing with them are a housemother and boys‘ counselor who plan their lives. The housemother looks after their material needsﬁclothing, etc, and the boys' counselor after their other interests athletics and play—— “a real dad’s job," I call it; trips to the beach, the mountains, and other things a real dad should do. A small gym, a ﬁne swimimng pool, and huge athletic field round out our physical plant along with a ﬁne recreation hall. Of course, we have a spacious dining room where good food is a “must.” Our small farm produces all our milk with a modern dairy. One of our program features is our “4+1” Club. Case work service is supplied by our trained case worker. Counseling with the boys and their parents most often leads to complete rehabilitar tion. Chapel service every Sunday morning with Sunday School follow- ing is an important part of our life at Paciﬁc Lodge. The church with all of its rami~ ﬁcations should survey the ﬁeld of child welfare and endeavor to help these unfortunate youngsters and to tell parents that one of their chief duties is to spend time with their families to give them the security which they need so desperately. QUANBECK RESIGNS The resignation of L a w r e n c e Quanbeck ‘47, as Director of Ad! missions at Augsburg College, has been announced by President Chris! tensen. Beginning in March Quan' beck will be working as a director for Wells Organizations, a Chicago ﬁrm, specializing in fund raising for churches. He came to Augsburg in 1951 as Director of Public Relations and in June, 1953 became Director of the New Ofﬁce of Admissions. From 1947 to 1951 Quanbeck was Executive Secretary of the South TOwn YMCA in Minneapolis, and from 1948 to 1951 was president of the Augsburg Alumni Association.

Professor Opseth, who served as head of the Department of Music at Augsburg College from 1922 to 1951 founded the Augsburg College Choir in 1933 in the merger of the men's glee club and the girls‘ chorus. From its beginnings, concert pro grams of the choir have featured the interpretation of traditional and con! temporary sacred choral music. Throughout 'the more than two dec' ades of its existence the choir has appeared regularly in concert in communities throughout the Upper Midwest and the East and West Coasts. In addition, the choir is seasonally selected for major radio network appearances. Proceeds of the Opseth Memorial Concert will be used to perpetuate the Henry P. Opseth Memorial Scholarship established in 1953 by the Henry F. Opseth family. Ac! cording to the provisions of the scholarship a sum of $100.00 will be presented annually to an Augs' burg sophomore or junior who has been selected according to the terms of the scholarship. Selection will be made on the basis of: a) Outstand- ing promise or achievement in the ﬁeld of music (theoretical or ap‘ plied) at Augsburg College, b) The intent of the recipient to make music his major ﬁeld of study at Augs' burg, c) General academic scholar- ship, d) Character. Curtis Ander' son, Bruno, Minnesota, a sophomore at Augsburg College, was selected as recipient of the initial scholarship of $100.00, a presentation by Mrs. Henry P. Opseth.

The FBI, Importr ing of steel, Federal Bureau of Com— munications, Army, Translating of languages for State Dept., Naval Observatory, Teaching, Ministry, Chemical Research, Insurance Busi— ness, Home Economics, and Music are a few of the varying types of vocations represented. O In our December 31 report I not ticed that $27,000.00 was contrib' uted in the Advance campaign by alumni and so far in our general campaign we have $34,000. This represents a good sum but the to' tal contributors of this $61,000 are only 612 alumni of 2400 solicited so far. This is not good. We can‘t all give hundreds, but we can all give some. If nothing else, the Bulletin should be worth several dollars a year. IN MEMORIAM We regret that we omitted the news of the passing of Miss Ragna Sverdrup in our last bulletin. Miss Ragna Sverdrup, 68, passed away September 27, 1953. Funeral services were held September 30 at Trinity Lutheran Church. Miss Sverdrup served as treasurer of Augsburg College from 1902 um til the time of her retirement in 1949. Following her retirement she continued her services in the treas' urer’s ofﬁce until the time of her recent illness and death. Miss Sverdrup was the daughter of the late Professor Georg Sver' drup and a sister of the late Dr. George Sverdrup, each of whom served as president of Augsburg College and Seminary for a com— bined term of ﬁfty years. Miss Sverdrup participated in nu! merous activities of Augsburg Col‘ lege and the Lutheran Free Church. A graduate of the Minneapolis Con— servatory of Music, she was an in' structor in piano for many years in conjunction with her duties at Augs' burg. s A'JL.."_ d

Show moreINTRODUCING... ROLF T. HARBO The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a division of national government of which Americans are justly proud. A key ﬁgure in the administration of the Bureau has been its assistant director (since 1946) Rolf T. Harbo, a warm understanding man whose varied ex- perience has groomed him for this important position. Rolf entered duty as a Special Agent for the FBI in 1932 when young lawyers were numerous and strug‘ gling. Since then he has participated in cases of nation- wide interest, his work taking him to every state. Hawaii and Puerto Rico. He has served as director of the Crime Detection Laboratory, as the personal represen' tative of the director, J. Edgar Hoover. and personally conducts investigations of a highly conﬁdential nature. Early in 1954 he was given administrative supervi' sion over the Training and Inspection Division, where his educational background and experience (Minne- sota and North Dakota public schools 192129) will be valuable in training Bureau personnel, and law'enforce- ment ofﬁcers from all parts of the nation. Born in Duluth, Rolf began at ﬁve the ﬁrst of ﬁfteen years on the Augsburg campus where his father was professor of Systematic Theology. Between 190‘) and 1931 at least one and sometimes as many as four of the seven Harho boys were enrolled at the Academy or College. In a family of nine children there was little time for idlene5s, hence before he was ten he began a succession of jobs selling papers, running errands, cad- dying, engagements playing the trumpet, harvesting. During the school year he was active in music, athletics, Echo editor and Augsburgian staff, and walked off with class honors as valedictorian in 1922. After more than 21 years in the FBI, Rolf says that a lucrative law practice could never have given him the personal satisfaction he has received from working under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Hoover, whose Christian dedication to God, country and duty have been a continuing inspiration. A gleam comes into his eyes at the mention garden- ing and motor mechanics, and his interest in music and athletics have grown through the years. He is a mem- ber of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Phi Delta Kappa, Phi Alpha Delta, the Lutheran Church and the Masonic Order. In 1939 he succumbed to the lure of the hearth and marrietl the former Grace Croyle, a native Pennsylvanian. Their home is 801 So. Overlook Drive, Alexandria, Va. Rolf T. Horbc to" J. Sverdrup 0% ,JW lElF J. SVERDRUP The year 1928 marks the beginning of a partnership between a young engineer and his former professor which within a decade was to skyrocket Leif Svcrdrup to international fame as a consulting engineer. The present company of which he i: president. Sverdrup and Parcel. Inc, St Louis. Mo. is an outgrowth of this partnership. When World “’ar II broke out. Sverdrup was already in the Paciﬁc as a civilian supervising the construction of a chain of air bases for a plane ferrying route to the under contract with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Phillipines and Australia. which his company designed, Commissioned a colonel in the Corps of Engineers in ‘42. he served continuously in southwest Paciﬁc areas until 1945. when he returned to the United States with the rank of major general. During the Leyte and Luzon invasions he held the post of Acting Chief Engineer to Gen MacArthur's Command and later became Commanding General of the Engineer Construction Command in the Southwest Paciﬁc. He was responsible for the building of 200 airstrips and airﬁelds and numerous military roads and bridges. He was decorated with the Distinguished Ser' vice Cross. Distinguished Service Medal. Silver Star, Legion of Merit. Purple Heart and two foreign decora' tions. Since 1947 General Sverdrup has commanded the 1(1an Reserve Infantry Division with Headquarters in St. Louis. Leif ]. Sverdrup. whose father was Edvard Sverdrup. was born in Norway. He came to the United States in 1914. and graduated from Augsburg College in 1918 with a BA. degree. He immediately entered the Army and received his citizenship and commission almost simultaneously. Following service in \Vorld War I. he attended the University of Minnesota and received the degree of B S. in Civil Engineering in 1921. The next seven years he spent with the State Highway Depart' merits of Minnesota and Missouri. The civic and professional organizations plus g0vern- mental boards and agencies in which General Sverdrup takes an active part are legion. In 1950 he was awarded the Oiitstanding Achievement Medal of the University of Minnesota; in March 1952. he received the Honor Award for Distinguished Service in Engineering from the University of Missouri; and in May, 1952, he was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering by the University of Missouri School of Mines and Me‘ tallurgy. General Sverdrup's varied activities include serving as Norwegian consul for the states of Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. Only recently Norway conferred upon him the Order of St. Olaf, the highest decoration which that government can bestow on a non'citizen. Away from the job he likes to hunt and ﬁsh. His residence is 1155 Hillside Drive. Hampton Park, .Richmond Heights, Mo.

Anderson JULY 194-4 huvbbUKG he--.“ . . Building Project Approved Continuing in the same spirit that brought a record in ﬁnancial support for their school dur ing the past ﬁscal year, the people of the Lutheran Free Church gave unan' imous approval to Augsburg‘s n e w building project at their Annual Con' ference in Willmar in June. A record high of $56,000 was gath~ ered during 1943' 1944 for current expenses—the same year which witnessed the wiping out of the $75,000 debt through raising the Centennial fund. The $200,000 Augsburg fund will be raised at the same time as a $50,000 sum is gathered for Oak Grove Academy of Fargo. A ﬁve'man committee with Pastor Martin J. Olson of Blanchardville, Wisconsin, as chair man, will supervise this activity. Other members of the committee are: Pastor Clifford Johnson of Ortonville, Pastor T. Kleven of Battle Lake, Mr. O. K. Ose of Thief River Falls, and Mr. William Rykken of Minneapolis. Though a three'year period has been set for the rais» ing of the money, it is hoped that the goal will be reached long before that time. 75 percent of the money must be gathered before building operations can begin. This was the decision of the Annual Conference. How' ever, at Augsburg the Board of Trustees will perhaps set a ten to ﬁfteen per cent higher minimum than that. The Auggie Alumni and other former students will aim at a $75,000 goal as their part of the undertaking. This part of the campaign will be managed by an A51 sociate Director in cooperation with the Director. Martin Olson Students Spur Building Drive “Auggies of the present student generation will not be outdone even by those who did so much toward generating enthusiasm for building Memorial Hall," says President Benjamin Gjenvick of the Augsburg Student Society. Though Gjenvick is away from the Campus this sumr mer doing part of the interneship assignment for his Seminary course, he is keeping in touch with develop’ ments on the new building project, especially as they affect the students. And to back his words students of 194344 have al— ready pledged about $4,000. About $6,000 to $7,000 can easily be raised if those who have not yet made their pledge will do as well as those who have signed up. But that will not be the end, either. New Auggies during 194446 will certainly want to do their part. Total student contributions could then possibly reach the $10,000 mark. To facilitate and give continuity to this work Presi' dent Gjenv1ck will appoint an enlarged committee to supervise the entire activity on Campus. OLD MAIN TO GO DOWN

Show moreSoldier's Last Song (This touching story, though from World War I, is still timely; and the song it introduces comforts souls as well today as in 1918. The incident is told by Edward Bok in his autobiography. The noted editor, with several other persons had been invited to visit the battleﬁelds of France.) ' ' " One evening as Bok was strolling out after dinner a Red Cross nurse called to him, explained that she had two severely wounded boys in what remained of an old hut, that they were both from Pennsylvania and had expressed a great desire to see him as a resident of that state. “Neither can possibly survive the night," said the nurse. "They know that?“ asked Bok. “Oh, yes, but, like all our boys, they are lying there joking." Bok was taken into what remained of a room in a badly shelled farmhouse, and there on two roughly constructed cots lay the boys. Their faces had been bandaged, so that nothing was visible except the eyes of each boy. A candle in a bottle standing on a box gave out the only light. But the eyes of the boys were smiling as Bok came and sat down on the box on which the nurse had been sitting. He talked with the boys, got as much of their stories from them as he could, and told them such home news as he thought might interest them. After half an hour, he rose to leave, when the nurse said: “There is no one here, Mr. Bok, to say the last words to these boys. Will you do it?" Bok stood transﬁxed. He felt as if he stood stripped- before his Maker. “Yes, won‘t you, Sir?" asked the boy on the right cot as he held out his hand. Bok took it, and then the hand of the other boy reached out. What to say, he did not know. Then to his surprise he found himself re' peating, extract after extract from a book, a message to the bereaved. . . . Bok had not read the book for years, but here was the subconscious self supplying the ma terial for him in his greatest need. Then he remembered that just before leaving home he had heard a beautiful song called “Passing Souls.” He had asked for a copy of it; and wondering why, he had put it in the wallet that he carried with him. He took it out now, and holding the hand of the boy at his right he read to them: “For the passing souls we pray, Saviour, meet them on their way; Let their trust lay hold on Thee Ere they touch Eternity. “Holy counsels long forgot Breathe again ’mid shell and shot, Through the mists of life’s last pain None shall look to Thee in vain. “To the hearts that know Thee, Lord, Thou wilt speak through ﬂood or sword; Just beyond the cannon‘s roar Thou art on the further Shore. "For the passing souls we pray, Saviour, meet them on their way. Thou wilt hear our yearning call, Who hast loved and died for all.“ _ Absolute stillness reigned in the room save for the half’suppressed sob from the nurse, and the distant booming of the cannon. As Bok ﬁnished, he heard the boy at his right say slowly: “Saviour—meet—me—on —my~way,“ with a little emphasis on the word "my." The hand in his relaxed slowly, and then fell On the cot; and he saw that the soul of another brave Amer— ican boy had taken its ﬂight. —From “A Message From God.“ 'A "Greater Augsburg" According to pre'war ﬁgures cited in a recent Ansgar Lutheran editorial, there was, one college student at Augsburg for every 197 baptized members in the sup' porting church body (L.F.C.) The United Lutheran Church had one college student for every 300 baptized members; the American Lutheran, one for 465; the Nor- wegian Lutheran, one for 193; the United Danish, one for every 185. -"’ The Editor concluded that his synod (the U.D.L.CJ and college, Dana, need not dream or work for Greater Dana. It was already there. Since Augsburg shows up well in this statistical analysis our constituency might be tempted to draw similar conclusions. There are several reasons why we probably will not. One: Our area of service is greater than Dana's. We are at the heart of Scandinavian Lutheranism in the U. S. A. Two: Many denominations out'rank the Lutherans by far when it comes to a collegereducated constituency. We have a long ways to go in this direction. Three: Contentedness with the status quo is not cone sistent with the missionary attitude. Why do we want more students at our colleges—and more buildings and other equipment? Just to “keep up with the Joneses"? No, of course not. We want these things in order that we may better train more workers for the Kingdom of Christ. Now, if we are satisﬁed that there are enough of these—that we have done all we ought, or can, in this respect—then we can rest on our oars and be con' tent with things as they are. But not if we see the world as it actually is—in terrible need of the Gospel. How shall it be given? Through men and women, pastors, missionaries, full'time lay'workers, teachers, nurses, and other types of workers, imbued with a desire to serve Christ. And, the Christian College is the greatest source of such workers. If there is any time that calls for expansion of Chris tian work, it is the present. Let not the Christian Cole leges, which should be in the vanguard, lag. To them also the call is Forward with Christ.

F. has already been released by the Board of Trustees to do preliminary work in connection with the campaign for the new Library and classroom building, the task of gathering new members for the Fellowship will go on. In fact it is highly probable that the number of new members secured (325) may be exceeded greatly in the course of the next year if the dualrpurpose plan of givl ing continues to catch the fancy of AFF prospects. This plan for use among Auggies includes the employ" ment of the A. F. F. regular giving plan for both pur' poses—current expenses and the building project. At least $3 per year must be designated for the former fund, but sums over that may go for the building fund. The A. F. F. General Committee which held its Anr nual Meeting July 11, again approved the plan, especial! 1y since it had been successfully used in the campaign amongst students in'May. ‘ Membership of the A. F. F. now nearing 600, has more than doubled during the past year. The yearly pledge for current expenses amounts to over $7,000. Ofﬁcers elected at the meeting of the General Com’ mittee were as follows: Pres, N. C. Anderson; vice! pres., A. B. Batalden; recording secretary, Melvin Fos' san; Editor of Bulletin, N. C. Anderson. Olaf Rogne continues as executive secretary. AUGGIE FLIER WINS AIR MEDAL From the Army Press service for the Fifteenth Air Force in Italy comes news that First Lieutenant Vernel Johnson, '41, has been awarded the Air Medal with the Oak Leaf Cluster for meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flight against the enemy. Pilot and ﬂight leader with a BM Liberator bom' bardment squadron, Johnson has more than 15 combat sorties to his credit, including missions to the Ploesti oil ﬁelds and the aircraft factories at Weiner'Nuestadt. Auggies llSold Down Auggies and their friends object strenuously to being "sold down the river," but when the “river” is the Misr sissippi and the “selling” (or buying) brings a boat ride on the "Donna Mae" with a free lunch besides, they go for it in a big way. Which all adds up to this: The Alumni Executive Committee sponsored a boat trip for Sunday afternoon, July 16. Committee members and the Secretary thought it was fun when buyers began parting with their money and carrying away the tickets with a satisﬁed look on their faces. But not for long. The demand exceeded all expectations. Requests poured in from every side. The secretary soon had a headache, trying to hold the number of reservations down to 220, so that there would They offer the Bible to over one-fourth of the world’s people.

That solved the situation. The headache vanished. All was calm again. But Auggies still love being “sold down the river." That is, until that 220 number is reached again.

Show moreAttention, Auggie Authors! Last A. F. F. Day at Augsburg we had a size' able display of books and pamphlets written by former Augsburg students. But even though we tapped various sources our display was far from complete. There ought to be at least one copy of every book or pamphlet Auggies have written in our library. This is far from the situation. Perhaps, too, a permanent display ought to be placed in the hall of the new library building. We would like to appeal to all our Auggies to see to it that at least one copy of their books or pamphlets is in the library. In some cases we may not be aware of the existence of the publication. Let us know what you have written. We will in’ vestigate. If it is not here, perhaps you can help us to secure a copy. Other friends who can help along on this matter are urged to cooperate, too. N. C. A. Notes From the Executive Committee The commencement dinner was the best—attended dint ner of its kind, in spite of the time—a day before gradu' ation. The presence of a number of Auggies—not grads —helped swell the number. . . . Results of the business session were the re’election of the present Executive Committee with two new advisers: Donald Holm and Paul Gjesdal; the approval of the $75,000 Alumni and other students‘ goal for the new building; and the past sage of the amendment on Executive Committee elect tions. . . . Chaplain Helland brought a stirring message on the spiritual conditions of the soldier. . . . Thirty’ one seniors of the Class of ‘44 were received as members of the Association. a: s: a: It was a treat to hear you six Auggies—former quartet members—.sing as a sextet at the L. F. C. Annual Cont vention. Why don't you, with the many others, form a Quartet Alumni Association and arrange a periodic re-union with an occasional song-fest for the public? You’d draw a crowd! * all at Here is a salute to a ﬁne group of Auggies who un‘ selﬁshly gave up places on the ﬁrst Donna Mae trip to give room for some who otherwise would not have been able to go. A number of the good'hearted ones had even gotten aboard but when they saw, amongst others, unit formed but reservation—less Auggies standing around with that hungry’for’fellowship look, they quickly sur' rendered their places. We hope every one of them will be able to go next time. Now, though they wouldn't want us to name them if they could stop it, here they are: Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Batalden, Mr. and Mrs. Hardis Bakken, Oletta Wald, Agatha Kleven, Mrs. N. C. An- derson, Grace Jensen, Mr. and Mrs. George Oftedal and their daughter, Ardys Hermunslie, Mildred Hetager, Esther Sydness, and possibly others. We were sorry that many without reservations had to go home, But the Captain drew the line at 216. And that was that! The Ideal Auggie What is the ideal “Auggie” like? What are his in! terests? What does he do for his school? What are his dreams for her? Perhaps it would be hard for any one of us, Alumnus or “Aif‘er,” teacher or student or other friend to answer the question—to picture the ideal Auggie. But a very real pointer in the direction of the answer came last week to the Alumni Ofﬁce. It was in the form of a letter with a check enclosed for the Alumni Asso' ciation. But it was not from an Alumnus! It was from a young man who is now a Lieutenant in the Air Corps. Three years ago he was a freshman, a splendid student. Then Uncle Sam called. He left for training, but he carried with him a deep appreciation for Augsburg. Through the Bulletin,—the Echo—the monthly letters from members on the staff, he keeps abreast of develop' ments here. We know that he “talks Augsburg" when— ever he has a chance. From time to time he writes us letters. And now comes a check for the Alumni Association. He wants to "help along," though he is not a member— and though he has received no request for money. Why does he send the gift? Because, we believe, he is inter! ested in the whole program of Augsburg, and wants to help whatever promotes the work of Augsburg. Here, we venture to say, is at least a partial answer to our question. The ideal Auggie is the one who is int terested in the whole program of the school. He is more concerned for the main work of the school than he is for any single part. And he wants to “pitch in" wher’ ever he is able to help promote Augsburg’s development. This is the spirit that has characterized scores of Aug! gies in the past. It is the spirit that we should pray would possess us more and more. And we believe it will, for we are working with values and ideals that are based upon the most unifying and vitalizing force of all—the Kingdom of God. If we give ourselves to that Kingdom, and as our school continues to build its pro' gram around the teachings of the K' of the Kingdom, there must be one inevitable result, t e growth of that spirit of interest and love for the whole program of our beloved school. Harold Sliterman, football and baseball star while at Augsburg, in 4041, tells of his experiences in a Star- ]ournal story July 20. His ship was under shellvfire an entire night during the Normandy invasion. He is in the merchant marines, a Junior Engineer. Four Augsburg Alumni ﬁnished their Seminary work at Augustana Seminary in Rock Island this year. They are: Anders Hanson, ’39, who will do mission work in China; Grant Olson, 40, called to Hoquiam, Wash; Merton Lundquist, ‘41, called to Everett, Wash; and Lawrence Rydquist, '40, called to Griswold, Iowa. Pastor Viggo Dahle, ’22, who has been serving the New London (LFC) charge has accepted a call to Haw- ley, Minn. ,

Auggie Says Jap Victims Crucified New Guinea, June 29. Dear Mr. Anderson: I want to thank you all at Augsburg for sending me the Augsburg Bullev tin; letters on college life, progress and activities; and the other interesting letters sent out from time to time by the faculty. Naturally, our appreciav tion for your interest in our welfare is very great . . . One activity in which I have been an inactive non—participant is the A. F. F. program. I wish you would “install” me as an integral part of that organization. I am enclosing a money order so that I can “get my feet on the ground ﬂoor". . . Life over here is going along quite well, in fact becoming a little routine at times. Our bombing runs against the Nips have become almost as regular as getting to an eight o'clock class. I hope we can convince the Japs in a hurry of the fruitlessness of imperialism and aggression. However, they are fanatics in the extreme. At one recently invaded spot our forces found Indian Sihks nailed to crosses. It’s going to be an immense problem for peace time solution, and it is my belief that Christianity alone is the only inﬂuence which can change this misguided race. My job as meteorologist here with the group is rather interesting work. As weather “prophet” I try to give the pilots a true picture of the weather they may be expected to ﬂy. . . There are many times when I wish I had a good crystal ball available; however, the army isn't issuing them as standard equipment . . . We have quite a lot of free time over here, during which we can do a number of things. I’m attempting to do a little studying and have books on the way from the publishing house, thanks to Orville Kleppe's initial efforts. However, this tropical lethargy isn't too conducive to concentrated study. We also have a good oﬂicer’s softball team, playing at least three games a week. And we have some very spirited encounters, a very 'excellent form of recreation for morale. The other night I played a game of outdoor bas' ketball with the enlisted men. . . . I came out with a bangedvup thumb, and a scratched chin, the latter received during a perfect three'point landing with my chin as the forward point of contact. I believe the game is just a little too vigorous for this climate . . . With greetings to Augsburg. May God prosper your work. (Lt.) Ken Rusdahl. A. F. F. MEMBERS, 351—453 Bemidji: Rev. C. M.
