Dec. 8, the journalism class visited the Minne- apolis Journal ofice to observe news- pper work in a modern city newspa- per plant. A guide took the class through the ofloe, explaining the pur- pose and duties of each department. The group was taken through the rooms of the various departments— editorial, engraving, stereotype, com- posing, art, press, and library. In the editorial room the various editors and stat? members were busy at work preparing financial. sports, society. club. and church news. Prob- ably in no other business is there found so many activities carried on simultaneously. In the composing room the news and advertisements of the paper are whipped into shape. Perhaps the most interesting de- partment to observe was the press room. Here the “ma " are moulded into metal casts ready for the huge presses. the largest of which the Journalism class saw in operation. The papers are discharged at the rate of 36,000 an hour. Files are kept in the Journal li— brary and here one may find pictures and news stories which have at any time appeared in the Journal. LOCALS Oscar Galstad visited campus last week.

One is brought back to the time of Christ be- cause the customs have changed so little. "Jerusalem is the spiritual capital otthe world,” said Miss Koeker, and everyone who has the opportunity should visit Palestine. She stated that she enjoyed going up on Mount Olivet and reading the gospels. Only one who has had th experience can realize what It means to tread the ground made sacred by the Master's feet. Even though Miss Koeker visited Palestine in the summer, she spent a Christmas at Bethlehem. She walked the same plains as the shepherds did and celebrated Christmas under the starry heavens one night in July. She said that if one ever visited Jerusa» lam he should "Go to Bethlehem and see the stars." Such an atmosphere (lives one a real Christmas spirit. Mission services were conducted at the Luther House last Wednesday evening. Edwin Olson spoke and Clara Brekke and Gertrude Vogt sang duels. The meeting was led by IJrs Goldal. Augsburg student: will continue to conduct meetings at the Luther House throughout the year. GYM'CRACKS And Otherwise The "Col—Dust" column of the Guatdln'on Weekly for Dec. 4 has the following comment: “The coaches were forced to award the league football title jointly this year. It was unfortunate that there wasn’t a team in the loop outstand- ing. Augsburg was awarded half of the title by virtue of winning three setups and losing their only game to Gustavus. St. Mary's was forced to accept the other half. That was al- most unfortunate for a team of their prestige. And so conference fans must wait for another Gustavus sea- son. Next year looks good.” Comes now a question of setups. What is a setup, and why'! Let's speculate—We trimmed Mac, 40-6: that must have been a setup. But Ivait,——Mac humbled the Tommies, 5—2, and the Tommies turned around and walloped St. Mary’s. No, that couldn’t. have been a setup. Let’s look a little deeper into the matter. St. John’s fell victims to Con's pro- teges, 24—0. Well, the Johnnie: only played four conference games, win- ning one, losing two and breaking even in the fourth. There's a little doubt here, and we haven’t any corn- parative scores to offer, so let’s pro. ceed. Our first victory came over those poor, ill-treated Oles, who (if we re- member aright) didn’t count a measly touchdown in their first five pig-skin parties this year, but were good enough to bowl over the Gusties, 26- 13, towards the fag-end of the season, Say, that’s terible, to have those ill- msnnsred Oles turn on a fellow like that. “But, that doesn't prove any- thing," you may say. No, we‘ll have to look at scores again, and we find that, whereas Augsburg beat St. Olaf by two touchdowns, St Mary’s did it by three. Not much difference here, is there? And remember, no team plays exactly the same caliber of foot» ball in any two games According to that, Augsburg and St. Mary’s would rank about even. Well, we still haven't decided on the setup business, but if there are many more football Masons like the past one in which thus were uputs (not setups) galore, the sport: edi- tors might as wall drop that question- able term from their Vocabuldries, at least so far as this conference is concerned. We notice also that Mr. Johnson (Gustavian Sports Editor) says that it was unfortunate that there wasn't a team in the loop outstanding, but that he later mentions St. Mary’s “prestige” in connection with her ill- fortune in being "forced to accept the other half." Here's another question, “What makes prestige?” We’ll admit that it WAS very unfortunate for St. Mary's to lose to St. Thomas, and at the same time to lose her clear claim to the title; but, prestige never yet won a football game. That's what makes the sport interesting. Neither is it necessary to have an outstanding team to make a successful season; and we question much the statement that “, . Conference fans must wait for another Gustavus season." Augsburg apologizes to no one for her team of ’28, its record, and its share in the title. Her only defeat at St. Peter came as the result of a lucky break for Gustavus. That an institution like Gustavus with her high ranking in athletics should be- grudge any school a share in a chamv pionship, is regrettable. Academy Quint Bows To Concordia, 30-28 Knutson Stars For Auggies In a hard-fought battle on the Con- cordia Academy’s floor at St. Paul. the junior Auggics bowed in defeat to the Concordians, 30728, Dec. 15. The lead changed hands constantly as the game progressed, neither team at any time enjoying a safe lead. The first canto ended 16—15 in favor of Concordia. Knutson and Lanes, at forward and guard respectively. were individual stars for Augsburg. Knutson was high—scorer with 11 points while lanes contributed 7. Captain Anderson, though handicapped with an attack of “flu”, also played well. “Shorty” Eliason and Chester Sorkness were other Auggis starters.

Ermisch and Rev. Berg Are Speakers The Gospel meetings held Dec. 5-7, in the Theological Chapel were well attended by the student body. Rev. Karl Ermisch was one of the speakers. He spoke on the text, “The Pearl of Great Price.” He empha» sized the fact that we must sacrifice our self-righteousness in order to win the pearl of great price—Jesus Christ. We must be willing to pay the price. Rev. Ermisch also spoke of Jesus coming to earth to seek pearls.

Arthur Wigdahl, Watertown, s. m" ‘ e E "m ' e Dak., represented Concordia and car- ried of first honors in the contest. Mr. Grimstad, speaking on “Imperialism”, was awarded third .place in the con- test. Besides Concordia and Augs- burg, other colleges represented were Gustavus Adolphus of St. Peter, and Luther of Decorah, Iowa. The judges of the contest were the coaches from the various colleges re- presented. Coach Severson made the trip with Mr. Grimstad. West Hallers Enter- tain At Costume Party Rip Van Winkle Stars During Evening On Wednesday evening, December 12, the West Hall girls gave their an- nual party in the form of a costume afl‘air. A great variety of personages assembled in the parlor, and imme« diately showed their talents by “mu— sically” introducing themselves to each other. The hen-peeked Rip Van Winkle Winkle and his arrogant Dame were indeed cleverly impersonated. Even two old “Norsk” farmers, who worried so much over their hay, took time ofl to discuss politics. Some just couldn't forget studies for an hour, and came carrying books under their arms to teach the children. Two old maids even forgot their dignity and ailmentgmand looked in on the party. Md all the children, twins, colonial dames,‘ and gypsiesl It was really a good thing that some brought their spectacles along. The first part of the evening was spent in playing progressive jack- straws. Then Rip, presiding and carefully guarded by Dame Winkle, provided an evening of entertainment by calling for ' ‘- and impersonations. Of course the best usually comes last, and so it did in this case when dainty refreshments were served. With classes scheduled for the mor- row, the party dispersed early. W. S. G. A. Group Serves Waffle Supper Girls Reveal Ability In Culinary Art On Friday evening, December 14, the division of the W. S. G. A. of which Luella Foss is chairman, served a waffle supper at West Hall. As the proceeds indicate, many availed them- aelves of the opportunity to get waf- fles hot from the iron. At about six o'clock the demand for waflles began to exceed the supply. so that the later comers were compelled to wait. As a result their capacities increased, and orders for “extras” were frequent. The waflles need no further proof of their quality. The supper was a complete succms —at least there were no illnesses re- ported the nut day. The proceeds will be added to the W. S. G. A. treasury. Rev. A. S. Berg spoke the last even- ing on personal soul-winning, taking his text from Acts 8:26-35. He showed how Philip was obedient to God's call and how he brought the Ethiopian eunuch to a new life. Have we been obedient to the call'! The testimony meeting which fol. lowed Rev. Berg’s speech, revealed that many had been won for Christ through personal testimonies.

The main hall was furnished as the reception room, and tea was served from a long table at the side of the front entrance. Miss Gerda Morten- sen and Miss Marion Wilson, assisted by Miss Marie Kjelaas and Miss Sel- ma Storien, poured. The purpose of this affair was to raise funds for the furnishing of the faculty room. Since the school has been expanding so rapidly these last years, many of the faculty members have been obliged to give up their of- fices. This year the room set aside for their use has been redecorated and furnished as an office and rest room. Friends and alumni who have vi- sited Augsburg this year have ex- claimed with delight at the wonderful improvement of the faculty room. As the committee in charge of the fur- nishing, Miss Mortensen and Miss Wilson deserve much praise for the beauty and charm of the room. Junior Girl Falls and James Peterson the negative. Mildred Larson and Oletta Wold opposed Harold Farr-less and Edwin Olson on the question: “Should a col- lege mun fall in love?" Then Lillian Sydness “What I dream about.” discussed the tremendous problem fac- ing college students—“dutch treats." At the business meeting the follow» ing were elected: Secretary, Tryphine Nelson.

Rev. Pederson Speaks At Trinity Church Conditions In India Are Described Rev. M. A. Pederson, but lately re— turned from India, spoke at Trinity church on the evening of Dec. 9. Among other things Rev. Pederson expressed his joy at returning to the homeland on his third furlough. The farewell that the native Christian church in Kaerabani had given them was interestingly described. The high esteem of these natives for the mis- sionaries proves the wonderful work Rev. and Mrs. Pederson are accomp- lishing in foreign fields. In the course of his remarks, Rev. Pederson dcr scribed the general conditions in In- dia both in a spiritual and a social sense. The work of their co-laborers in this field, namely Rev. and Mrs. B. A. Helland was also spoken of; they are doing great educational work in the Santa] Mission, having a splendid school of three hundred boys. The school passed government inspection and in the future may receive national aid. Lecture On Palestine Given by Miss Koeker Describes Visit to Holy Land A very interesting lecture on Pale- stine was given in chapel Wednesday morning, Dec. 12, by Miss Freda Koc- ker, field secretary for the Biblical Seminary of New York City. She was introduced by Prof. J. S. Melby, who is one of her former schoolmates. Miss Koeker gave a very realistic View of the historic city of Jerusa» lem. The level of the city is about one hundred feet higher now then it was originally, because of its being besieged and destroyed fourteen times. The present wall is about 500 years old and shows that it was built in haste. Just inside the wall at one of the gates, Miss Koeker saw some men smoking some extremely long pipes. Upon inquiry she found that the pipes were rented out at so much per hour. Camels and donkeys constituted the main traflic and the best time which they could make was four miles an hour. Women could be seen carrying heavy burdens. Some carried as much as ten gallons of water on their heads while friend husband rode along on a donkey. quarterly was discussed.

THE WORD#A ChristmasiSermon Is there a greater wonder than a word'.’ What a marvel the simplest word becomes as you pause to re- gard it carefully for a moment. Suddenly that com» monplace symbol, whether traced on perishable paper like this or inscribed on rock, milleniums old, or coin« ing to you in the form of articulate sound, becomes to you a most fascinating mystery. A word is thought revealed. Have you never stood in awe before the unfathomable mystery of thought aloue'.’ But now add to this the almost unbelievable— that a word is thought revealed, thought communicated from one mind to another. There you have the two— fold wonder of a simple word. As once again we enter the happy Christmas sea: son, the source and inspiration of all our joy will be The Glorious Word which God spoke to us long years ago beneath the stars of Bethlehem. And oh, let us not miss the awe and the wonder, the sweet mystery of it all. Let us for a brief moment take the wings of imagin» ation and transport ourselves back to the days before the angels sang that first Christmas song—yea, even to the time when there was no time, ere the morning stars of creation sang together. God beheld the blind groping, the wayward sinning, the stubborn pride that was ours. As He beheld the sordid picture, His great heart of love went out to us in compassionate pity, and His infinite mind of wisdom conceived a wonderful thought of love. But how should that thought be ex- pressed! It had to be simple and clear and attractive. Life and eternity for all mankind hung in the balance. Their friends and schoolmates wish them much happiness in their wed- The customs are much the same now as in the olden days, even to l (Conlinuud nn puyz' s) Now let us see how that Divine Thought was revealed. The Epistle to the Hebrews opens with this declara- tion: “God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by diverse portions and in diverse many ners, hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son.” Thru his Sonl Then we may road the words of Jesus as we would read the words of illL‘ Eternal God Himself? Yes, quite true, and in this we rejoice. But there is a deeper and more incluslw thought to be considered with reverence as we hear the Christmas Gospel. “Great is the mystery of godlinc '; He who was manifested in the flesh." Or as the saintly John has expressed it: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. i A — And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." Now read again that sublime declaration of John, substituting “The Love-thought” for "the Word." I think you will do no violence to the text if you so read it. Luther has said: “If you wish to know what is in the heart of God, go to the babe in the manger of Bethlehem." Is it at all strange then that there was something about that little crying infant whom God gave to Mary —and to the world—which caused that "all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds”? Is not this the wonder of wonders? “And his name shall be called Wonderful."

P. A. Sveeggen . . Faculty Advlser Elsie Lokken Mildred Halvorsen liolgcr Iiagen Seeing Right In connection with Miss Koeker‘s lecture on the Holy Land our president made some significant remarks. The difference between people, he said, is shown in the way they see things. To many tourists Jerusalem is only a city of dirt and dust and filth. To others it is a beautiful place in spite of its apparent ugliness because of the many sacred associations connected with it. We wonder what the students of Augsburg see in their school. Some look upon it in such a way that after one month or one quarter they have no desire to see it again. The dormitories are time-worn and weather—beaten. The students are obstinately slow in recognizing genius in their fellow creatures. So it happens that students for such reasons leave school disappointed. We have heard it remarked about disgruntled students who leave school that Augsburg is better off without them, which may sometimes be true, but not always. In every case there is reason to feel sad because those who leave dissatisfied have missed en- tirely the many fine things that have endeared Augsburg to hundreds of students. Not everything at Augsburg is ideal, of course. There are things that wound and irritate and disappoint. These lie on the surface and are easily seen. But we wonder whether any one should have spent a whole quarter here without seeing anything else. If there should be such a one, let him think of our Christ- mas get-together and see whether there is not something at Augs- burg that will make him wish to come back again. A Greeting 0n the first page of this Echo we have placed a greeting to our readers. The Echo wishes you a blessed Christmas, and we sincerely mean it. We do not say a merry Christmas. Not that we condemn that term. Far from it: may you have that too. But, first of all, we wish that you may have a blessed Christmas —that you may be enriched spiritually. Some measure happiness in one way; others in another. The true Christmas happiness, however, can not be found without harking back to the original Christmas; it can not be gained with- out realizing the significance of the birth of the King. That is why we wish you a blessed Christmas. Something Accomplished Examinations are over and everybody is happy. It is a very comfortable feeling to know that you have passed. It is better, even, to know that you have flanked than to live in expectation of it. Of course a little uncertainty yet remains, but the tension is relieved. Speaking in our ofi‘icial capacity, we are glad that it is over; for to have three or four matters simultaneously demanding your undivided attention brings no pleasure—even to an editor. We have almost come to think of writing examinations with nothing else to worry us as an ideal state. It is not possible, of course— at least not for editors. But our object here is not to vent our spleen upon our readers. It is to express the general satisfaction at the ending of an in- teresting period of school work. Yet, in another sense, there is dissatisfaction also. We are glad to note this, for it means that there will be progress. There will be resolutions in the new year —\\'hether they be termed New Year‘s resolutions or not—to do better. and with these resolves will follow renewed activity. The Matter of Gifts “Not what we give. but what we share" comes with renewed force at this Christmas season. We believe that Augsburg has given us something and continues to give to us. During the holi- days that so many of us will spend in our home communities, there will be golden opportunities to share with those at home some of the blessings we have received at school. Augsburg could have no more effective method of becoming better known to the Northwest than by having almost three hundred students act as advertising agents, for in two weeks much can be told. The time approaches when high school seniors will peruse numerous catalogs in order to decide what college to attend next year. They know about many colleges from studying the cata- logs, but why not help them out by giving them firsthand infor- mation about Augsburg and the good things that she offers her students? The Glee Club, Choral Society. Athletic teams, the “Echo”, and Press Service are all points of contact between our school and the public, but personal boosting is invaluable. If Augsburg has done anything for us, let us share our gifts with others. An Arduous Hike It was already past midnight when we stepped from the train that Jan- uary night of 1924. The icy blast that met as and the murky sky (Tm- head foretold an impending storm. It had not seemed so cold when we left the little town of Minashka forty mile! farther north, where Phyllis and I were teaching. For several minutu our gaze followed the train speeding away toward the south. A last weird shriek of its whistle told us that the connecting link between us and all that was warm and comfortable had vanished. Phyllis’s home lay six miles north of the railway station—six miles of rough snowy road that was only par- tially protected from the wind by fir trees. We must traverse that dil- tnnce on foot. We walked slowly into the poorly- constructed building that could scarce- ly be called a depot, but which served as shelter for those unfortunates who had to wait for the infrequent trains. The place was hardly less cold than the out—of—doors and certainly un- pleasant, for the air was permeated with evil~smelling gases emitted by the kerosene lamp that flickered in its bracket on the wall. Any light that might have cheered the dismal room was obstructed by the sooty lamp chimney. The coal stove situated in the center of the room showed no signs of having been warm except for the fact that ashes were scattered about. An empty coal scuttle had been flung into one corner. A wood- en bench nailed to one side of the shack completed its list of furnish» ings. It would not do to stay there many minutes, for the frigid air already made us shiver; so pulling our cost collars up and seizing the one travel- ing bag, we stepped once more out into the night. There was no sign of human life to be seen, but from somewhere in the distance came the mournful howl of a dog and the sharp bark of a coyote. For a mile we marched boldly forward, stopping only to transfer our baggage from one to the other. The narrow road was rough, for lnowdrifta had been only partly Ihowled away to allow vehicles to pass. and the nloment we stepped from the path we plunged into the softer show on the sidés. i noticed that the wind was gaining power and hat the temperature was falling every moment. We had still four miles to travel when a fine snow appeared, every flake cruelly pricking our faces like pitiless needles driven by an un- seen force. We could make but little progress against the blinding snow and at each step it became more dif— ficult to keep on the road, for the newly-fallen snow hid the irregular path. Hands and feet were becoming colder and colder, until they were numb, and I realized that they were probably freezing. The storm in- creased in violence until it seemed that all the forces of nature were bent upon preventing us from reaching our destination. I had long since re- gretted our foolish move. but it was too late to undo it. The only thing my gloomy thought was the fact that my voice would not carry two feet in such a wind. Phyllis had assumed the burden of our baggage and even helped me where the snow Was un- usually deep. Snow! snow! snow! It was before us, behind us, on all sides lashing us from one side of the road to the other. The wind whistled and howled in all its fury until I shuddered, for it seemed to Screech our doom. Vaguer I wondered who would teach our classes on Monday, but fatigue made any clear thinking quite impossible. It seemed miles and miles that we stumbled forward over hills, through drifts waist-deep, fighting for every foot we advanced, and put< ting forth every ounce of energy we had. Still the unrelenting wind blew and the merciless snow blinded us as we staggered on. Dimly I remember scrambling up a hill at the top of which loomed something huge and dnrk—Phyllis’s home. A final efiort brought us exJ hausted to the door, and it seemed that the inexorable blimrd vented a shriek of defeat.

Nordbeu, Beatrice Hell-ad. Arthur Nash. The Critic Says— It is ten o’clock. From a small hole near the post-office in the "Main" a mouse emerges cautiously. He glances up at the clock. “Ah-l" he exclaims. “Now for a merry little jaunt on my roller- skates.” He is not slow to carry out his re- solve. For several minutes he gives himself up to his favorite pastime with hilarious abandon. Suddenly it occurs to him to take I spin over to the bulletin board. “Mayth there be some notices that want a little retouching again," he chuckles to himself. “What would student life at Augsburg be without me!” He scales the wainscoting without difficulty, gains the lower edge of the bulletin board, and takes his ever» sharp in hand. But, alnckadayl the notices are all too high for him to reach. I-Ie hesitates a moment. “Well, there‘s more than one way to skin a cat," he nods wisely. “I'll clutch a pin with one hand and write with the other." But, The best-laid schemes 0’ mice an’ men Gang aft ngley. The pin pulls out and our hero hurtles to the floor. Immediately a crowd of excited bystanders is drawn to the scene. None too soon does the mouse gain cover. He foolishly lup- posed that the hall was reserved ex- clusivlly for him at this hour. Nev" since has he bun soon at ten o'clock in the morning. All great men are The critic is he Exceptidi'l. last tWo weeks may juniors have been convinced that the world would be a better place to live in if the en- rolment at Augsburg were slightly reduced. Only the anonymity of the critic has retarded the Wheel of prog- ress. For the sake of his own well- being he has had to take up the cudgel with the other militants and go in in- dignant search of himself. He has acquiesced heartily in all the uncom- plimentary epithets that have been so lavishly bestowed upon him. Mark Twain had great difficulty on his lecture tours because much of what he considered humorous was re— ceived with idiotic blankness by the audiences. So he conceived of a bril- liant plan. He instructed a lady friend to laugh whenever he gave the signal for an outburst. Everything ent fine until he unconsciously glanced at her during a very sad part of his lecture. Immediately a soft, low cnckle of appreciative mirth rip- Pied thrn the hall. The critic probably should have in— sorted “laughter” or “this is supposed to be funny" in various parts of his last article, but he did not think it would be necessary. Now he feels like the little boy who on December 23 found out that there is no Santa Claus. . Davis: Why did Bacon write Hardy‘s “Three Strangers"?

When Christmas Comes Finals are over and the exnm~weary students are journeying home to share the “fatted calf." After several weeks of hurrying and hustling, a sudden calm has pervaded the atmos- phere like the lull in a thunderstorm The campus is quiet and desarted. Not a living thing can be seen any- where. A sort of dreamy existence seems to have enveloped the dormi- tories. Their life-like appearance has faded the last few days until now it has disappeared entirely. The win- dow: are closed; the curtains are drawn the whole way down, giving the time-honored building an air of morgue-like chortlincu.

Ha hastitates for a moment, then ventures up to the door and boldly rings the hall. For some time he waites in trepidation, fearful lest the place be haunted. Finally. a human form opens the door and asks him in. “Oh. it's you is it?” “Why yes, it looks like me, doesn't it, or have I changed so much during exams? Pretty tough weren't they?” “Forget it. Aren't you going horns for Christmas! "No... "Why not?” “Can’t.” “Then you'll come to our party next week, won‘t youl" “0h, maybe." “Say. what are you so downhearted about?” "Aw, I’d like to go home for a few days, haven’t been home for so long, bub—" "We’ll have just as much fun here." "You may think so, but I don't. Al- most everyone has gone home now, and it’s getting pretty lonesome around here. Wait till we’ve been here a few days, then you'll wish you'd followed the crowd and gone home.

Augsburg's basketball team put on a New Yur’s celebration with the co- operItion of the North Dakota Aggies It the Pillsbury House floor, Jan. 3. Both teams got I trifle mixed on sea- sons. The Augzica ' opinion that it was Christmas, however, prevailed and with a fine display of spirit they presented an appropriate Yulevtide gift to Messrs. Melby and Cruse in the form of an appropriate 35-28 victory. Most of the customers probably thought that the team had seized hold of the “had-boy going to start the New Year righ " idea. That. too, is an entirely acceptable supposition. Taking I major part in the enemy’s show were three Auggies—Luther Mona, Walter Engbretson, and John Kolesar. Of course all the winners did their little stunts but these three were in fine fettle that night and did especiIlly welL Aumiss Loox Goon The Auggies presented a smooth working tang“) start the IflIir, and both teams plIyed cautiously, waiting for a breIk. Danie Fortune smiled first at the home team and “Stub” shoved in I short one. Connolly tos- sed in a long shot before Mona Idded I third basket, his first of five two- pointers. Lady Luck was not with the Ag- gies this period, for the North Dakota boys missed one close one after an- other. With the score at 84 Enge- bretson replaced Johnson and signal- ized his entrance to the fray by sink» ing I field goal. Kolesar fouled May under the basket, the score counting and one of the gift shots also going true. the count now standing at 10-7. Here Augsburg’s pass game started functioning, but close guarding held score down till Rortvedt sent a long pass to Kolesar under the net, the running guard, unmolested, making his shot. Thies replaced Mona and the glme continued at a fast clip, score It the half standing at 17-16 in Augsburg's favor. SncoNo HALF Augsburg won her game at the start of the second half when Mona ran wild, sinking shot after shot from under the hoop, some of them on dif- ficult tries. Engbretson, too, was hot nfter the basket and the home team piled up I twelve point lead. Midtaune went in for Mona with the score at 36—24. Here the Aggies came to life Ind, with Hahn Ind May leading the attack, sank four field goals in rapid succession. Koleaor called for time out, and play was re- sumed soon after. But the Aggies had shot their bolt, and, with Kolesar directing a stalling gIme, Augbsurg preserved her seven point lead—final score standing at 36—28. Augsburg‘s team play was much improved over any previous effort, Mona appearing as a new star in her line-up, but the whole team showed much improvement in shooting. Hahn, May, and Bliss showed up best for the Aggies, May and Hahn counting nine points apiece. Score: a a. e a: . a, - Immwuaew'flml encourage?“ sl uawHer—fflsbl eceHl-coao Mona, f. N Augsburg (as) F.

The seniors, who capped the championship last year, are out to repeat their per- formance, but all teams promise to put up a stiff battle. o The theologians have been severely handicapped to date due to the fact that Martin Olson, star forward, mis- placed part of his famous basketball suit and has been oif form ever since. . Emil Hanson, member of Augs— burg‘s championship hockey teams of the past season, is this winter wear» ing the uniform of the Tulsa Oilers of the American Hockey Asociation, of which Minneapolis and St. Paul are members.

Besides playing with the Citizen’s Club team, he finds time to coach the Pillsbury Juniors of the Minneapolis Park Board League, and to referee numer» ous games. o The Maroon and Grey have un» covered a new point-getter in the per- son of Luther Mona. Although “Lute” broke into several games last season, he did not exhibit much scoring punch. But in the three affairs— with the North Dakota Aggies, Macalester, and Concordia—he amas- sed a total of 31 points to lead the pack.

Delicatessen Cagers Wage Hot Contest Loving Cup Given To Winners The basketball game on Tuesday evening, January 8, between the waiters of the bonding club for the first half year and those of the second half was the culmination of a series of threats and challenges between the two factions. The first mentioned team, or the Galloping Broncos, found no trouble in defeating the Hopping Hyenas to the tune of 29-10. Due to lack of practice, the fray was throughout with poor marked passing and ragged floor work on both offense and defense. During the course of the first half, however, the Broncos flashed some real basketball, and they found the hoop regularly. This was partly due to the very efl‘ective assist- ance of a regular varsity player, 0. Rortvedt. Toward the close of the second half, the Gallopers made several substitutions, and the crowd received a sensational thrill when Arthur Erickson almost succeeded in caging the ball. Other players de. serving mention are R. Norum, W. Gjerde, and A. Batalden. All in all it was a friendly clash, and it is hoped that such an afiair will be a yearly event betwen the dish-Washers of the Augsburg Tea Gardens. The primary object of this battle was to win a loving cup which some of the present waiters had made up as a prize. Seemingly it was a high grade trophy, its makers avowing that it was worth no less than thirteen dol- lars. This cup was formally presented to the winners by Mrs. Johnson, and it now adorns the east wall of the boarding club. Summary: Galloping Broncos (29) FF. F.T.

Riding high on the crest of a vic- tory that sent Gustavus tumbling down the percentage ladder, the while preserving Augsburg’s perfect record, came Luther Mona, hero of many Aug- gie heroes that night, 22 points did he pile up in a burst of brilliant shoot- ing rarely seen on any Conference floor. Nobody could say that the stage wasn't set for one of those traditional Norse versus Swedish atfairs. As usual, the Gusties came storming out for the first half with another array of potential champions, the Auggies greeting them defiantly with Ed Con- nolly, that bulwark of defensive strength, out of the game because his eligibility came a day too late to be otl‘lcially recognised.

T'was the insertion of Engbretson towards the middle of the first period that turned the tide. Johnson went to guard and “Engy” took his old post. Then, with every man a potential scorer, the home boys went at it, ham- mer-and-tongs. And well they might. for the count stood, Gustavus l7, Augsburg 8.—And first place in the standings was to be the Victor’s re- ward. How bitterly they battled for every point!

Debaters Meet Gustavus and St. Thomas Teams Debates To Be Arranged With University With several practice tilts behind them and many more scheduled. the Augsburg College debating teams have succeeded in threshing out some of the issues involved in the question of abolishing the jury, which this year forms the intercollegiate proposi- tion. On Tuesday evening, Jan. 8, the squad met for an mterclass workout. The squad was divided into two groups for the clash. The affirmative men were Orville Knutson, Kristofer Hagen, and Harold Davis. Speakers for the negative were Holger Hagen, Roy Quam, and John Nordberg. On Tuesday afternoon, previous to the Gustavus-Augsburg basketball clash, the local debaters were hosts to a three-man team from Gustavus Adolphus College of St. Peter. Augsr burg was represented by an animal. tive team, consisting of H. Hagen, Knutson, and Davis. The Negative speakers for Gustavus were: Youngr quist, Matson, and Norbeck. Last night the local debaters tl'avelr led over to St. Thomas College where (Cunllpllrd on pug/c 2) Off-campus Girls Give Novel Party Room in West Hall Being Furnished Desiring to do "something a little ditlerent” the off-campus girls decided on the novel plan of having a “shower” for their new room in West Hall. Consequently, Trix Nelson opened her doors to the aggregation on the evening of Friday, Jan. ll. The night seemed rather cold for a “shower but, as usual, appearances were deceiving. By eight o'clock, groups of girls with huge parcels were hurrying toward the Nelson home. The evening's fun began with a number of games. Olga Huelmer ably demonstrating her powers of speech and endurance. Miss Mortensen arrived in midst of a game of “Charades”. Re- freshments were then in order. Girls never overeat, of course, but it is re» ported that an enormous amount of "eats" disappeared. Miss Mortensen officiated as Santa Claus at the “shower” proper.

A. Sveeggen Action With the passing of an old year and the birth of a new comes to everyone a desire to do better and greater things. That is a very natural tendency. When a child is born, its parents look into the future, planning all the while to give their child the best of education, environment, and care. They imagine their grown boy or girl in one or another occupation, living a good life and doing its share in the advancement of the human race. This is a good and beautiful contemplation, but has never yet been the rear- ing of a child. Action must follow if thoughts or plans are to materialize. So it is with each individual: New Year‘s resolu- tions are worthless unless he or she diligently applies himself to the fulfilling of these determinations. Undoubtedly the faculty members have resolved to help make this Augsburg's most successful and profitable school year for all concerned. But they have not only determined to make this a banner year; they have actually put into practice these resolu- tions. One example of this is the enlargement of our library. During the recent vacation Professors Fosse, Lillehei, and Hel— land carried out the faculty plans of making a more handy and roomy study hall. It is now our turn to show an appreciation of such an improve- ment. If we are all normal, we harbor intentions of doing a higher grade of study this year than last. In order that we should fulfill this resolve, and also to show an unspoken gratitude to our faculty, we must act by taking advantage of the greater oppor- tunity offered us. Cussing for Convenience We met a man the other day whom we liked. He was well- favored, and his apparel bore unmistakable signs of taste and care. For his appearance, we envied him, but we heard him speak—and pitied him. For though he spoke easily and even glibly, his speech was punctuated with "cuss-words" (to use the mild, modern term). The man was self-possessed—confident. He spoke with con- viction. He may make a name for himself. We do not know. But the “cuss—words" in his speech impressed us unfavorably. He seemed not to be aware of them—at least he was not ashamed of them. To him they seemed good, serviceable adjectives. They were convenient. They saved him the trouble of thinking of suit- able adjectives, for these—to him~were always appropriate. There are many men like that~more than many people think. Many of them are even-tempered. They do not cuss because they become angry, but because it is convenient. People of refine- ment hear them and shudder, but they go on—serene. We pity them. It Needs Support Augsburg will have a literary magazine. The stafi' has been elected and is ready to begin work. Since early in the school year when the suggestion was made that we publish a literary magazine, the matter has been much discussed, and has been viewed from all sides. From the first, it was evident that no one literary organization could undertake such a task alone, but there must be a united efl'ort of all literary societies if the magazine is to be a success. By uniting the efl’orts of the six literary organizations, a plan has been made whereby Augsburg will have a magazine published twice each school year, the first issue this year appearing in the latter part of April. Those who have joined in this project firmly believe that there is sufficient literary ability at Augsburg to publish a magazine equal in quality to those of other colleges, and it now remains to every student who has literary talent to contribute his best writ- ings, whether they be poetry, short stories, or essays. The staff cannot publish the magazine alone. It needs and expects full cooperation from the student body. The question now is, “Will we do our bit 7" THE CRITIC SAYS— Some time ago the critic wrote a powerful plea for a more scrupul- ous obaervance of New Year's re- solutions, especially those relating to the proper use of time. But his at- tention was called to I freshman theme on the same subject which far excelled his own. And so, being more desirous of the common weal of the student body than his personal glory. he publishes this in preference to his own production: “The young offspring from the womb of the old and barren Father time has now been in our midst for more than two weeks. What kind of a reception has she received at our hands? Have we used him diligently and not wasted our time"! Or‘ have we stood idly by and watched him trickle thru the hour glass! Shall this infant’s beard turn gray again as of yore ere we seize the smile of opportunity? During the past two weeks have we made any footprints on the sands of Time? If not, let us put our shoulders to the task at once. Let us not kill Time lest he fly from us. “Friends, let us work while it is day before the star of evening sets, when our themes will no longer be ac- cepted.“ Gustavus Falls Before Efficient Augsburg Machine (Continued from page 1) never to be relinquished thereafter. And so Mona passed from out of bounds and his all-state team-mate made good his opportunity. The stubborn Gusties had been overhauled! And like the sea that hisses through a broken dikHver gaining in strength as the masonry gives wayithe Auggies unleashed their pent~up fury in a burst of speedy team-play and an orgy of skill» ful shooting that sent its slim, one- point lead sky-rocketing to a height undreamed of even by the staunchest Maroon-and-Grey Enthusiast. 30—10 was the margin of Norse superiority in this period, and even much of that time was consumed in the victors’ suc- cessful stalling game. Even “Koley” “did himself proud" in the exhibition of dribbling he put on, the while drawing out his 0p- ponents defense. Stapleton went out on personals in a futile attempt to break up that dribble, and his succes- sor had no more success than he. Every Auggie had a share in that wonderful second half drive, for every man was going at top speed through- out.» Engbretson, though of? form in shooting, played a beautiful floor game, and, with Kolesar and John- son, broke up play after play. “Stub”, too, was playing “heads up” basket- ball, and featured in the first period with a beautiful one-handed shot from the edge of the court. Hagberg and Stapleton were the main Gustavus threats, but Young- dahl also played a strong defensive game. Hagberg was high point get- ter for his team with a total of 14.

A speech of welcome to the new members was given by the president Lewis Berge. And the new members responded with short talks.

Is it that sonut which is published in such ma- gazines as the Whiz Bang and College Humor? This is the common belief. I think that this is an outrage. These magazines are published by a group of evilminded individuals who have nothing to do with college. They are given “collegiate” titles in order to attract attention, and the result is that college students are blamed for their filthincss. As a group, college students stand high in society. The majority of them are clean-minded youths with a liking for good, wholesome fun. Their mental faculties show them the worth- lessness of such “literature”; their moral discriminations point out its harm. It must be admitted that a certain percentage of the students like these magazines. This is but another illus- tration of the old truth, “When one man sins, society must suffer.” Be- cause a few students show a liking for this vile stuff, the whole college world is blamed for it. I hope that the day will soon come when the public shall realize that col» lege students do not date on smutty stories and sensational illustrations; that there can be a high standard in' “college humor." The S. S. Sophomore will Lake you to the lands of romance, mystery, and STUDENT W \ >0ur Vantage We‘d): occupants of North Hall have a glut advantage over our con- tempt-uric at Augsburg. Perhaps there are not many who are aware of this. ht. nevertheless, it is an irre~ futnble truth. I base this statement upon the fact that impediments to study can be made into serviceable stepping stones to further knowledge. No great men have ever reached high stations in life without first overcom- ing obstacles; nor have any at- tained their aegacity before ddingthe same. That being the case, it is quite evident that it n a great drtwifick for a person not to have any obstacles to overcome. ‘ , we, the oocII~ pants of this dorm ' , arch-aunti- fully supplied, and it is for that rea- son that we are the holders of a great advantage. When I witness a common episode in our dormitory, I am aware of the fact that advantages are lavishly be- ing distributed among whatever oc» cupants are present to partake. An- other. seeing and hearing the same, would think of it only as the raucous vocalizing of a callow youth's infatua- tion for one of the feminine species, either real or fantastic, but ostensibly the latter. Such a vocalization in the resonant halls of this edifice is not an incentive to study, it is true. but it affords an invaluable obstacle for us to over- come. It produces a character build- ing element that is very similar to some of the severe tests which, when applied in the olden days, necessitated the flight of the victim to the sandy deserts that provided a more favor— able battle ground for such struggles. as the solitude served as an unction to the psychic condition of the com- batant during a mental convulsion of that kind. Because of our impecuniosity and ambitions, we, the occupants of this dormitory, are unable to flee to those better battle grounds. Hence. those of us that are to pull through with- out sufiering from the insanity that such an infliction is likely to bring must have a rigid and noble character in order to succeed. The ordinary occupant of this build- ing is reluctant to peer out upon our modern troubadour for fear that if he did so, and found the ather’s stature encouraging, he might inflict such chastisement upon the ofiender (who is really a blessing provided by providence) 'as his endurance would permit. The ones that profit the most by this character building element are those who can behold the machinery in action, and, with clenched teeth, re- frain from dealing what they might think justice. So far all that have undergone that severe trial have emerged victorious over their natural selves. If there should, however, come a day when one should take that test without being as competent as his predecessors, that would bring a sur- rowful bercavement to us, the occu- pants of this dormitory; for in such a case, the source of our present flow of advantage would undoubtedly be silenced.

In order to achieve his preestablished design. Poe must show us how his main character conquers death. Ligeia was dead and buried. making it impossible for her to return bodily; but the author created an- other character into which Ligeia could breathe her life, and the story ends abruptly with these words: “These are the full, and the black, and the wild eyes—of my lost love—of the Lady, of the Lady Ligeia." The story ends here because the author has accomplished his purpose of showing that the will can conquer death. There is nothing left to tell and the narrative logically closes. The preestablished design is ac- complished with the greatest economy of means. Only two characters are used and one main incident. Every phrase seems a living part of the story. to omit one line would be an amputation. The time and place ele- ments are as narrowed as efl'ect will allow. A single room constitutes the setting. 0.

The Augsburg Orchestra rendered several numbers at the Young Peo< ple's Society meeting held at St. Petri Lutheran Church last Sunday. Jan. 27, at 5:30 P. M. The fifteen members that comprise the orchestra have been working faithfully under the direction of Miss Emma Cards and the results are gratifying. At the present time, short spring tours are being planned, one of which will extend into Iowa.

On Friday the negative team meets the Gustavus men at St. Peter. The Gustavus debaters have already met the Augbsurg team here. All the de- bates so far are non~declsion contests.

Martin Reinertsen acted as leaderI while the speaker was Benjamin Ostrem who spoke on the topic “The Way of Salvation", basing his sermon on Acts 16:25-51. Special music in the form of vocal duets was furnished by Mrs. Gust Ostrem and Benjamin Ostrem. Early in the school year, the re- quest came that Augsburg student conduct a series of meetings at Luther House. This request was granted with the result that the students wen asked to continue taking charge of the Wednesday evening service durr ing the winter months. A committee consisting of A. E. Myhre, Pearl Aanstad, and Roy Quam have charge of arrangements for the service each week.

VOLUME XXXIII Round Table Begins Work For New Quarterly Production 0f Short Stories Is Aim Of New Study At its last meeting the Round Table decided to add the writing of ahorbstories and the study of tech- nique to its field of work which has been limited to merely the study of model narratives. In order to give more support to the literary magazine the members of the Round Table began the study of short/story technique with the pur- pose of applying it to stories of their own. The first meetings of the quar- ter will be spent in analyzing a few masterpieces of fiction to determine the methods employed by the best authors. Members will then write stories of their own which will be criticized and finally submitted to the magazine staff for publication “Ligeia” was analyzed according to Poe’s own conception of what a short- story should be He says. “In the whole composition there should be no word written of which the , 1 direct or indirect, is not to the one, preestablished design.” From the very beginning Poe adhered strictly to this rule. in the first sentence he strikes the key-note or the tone of the whole story. "I cannot. for my soul, remember how, when, or even preciv sely where, I first became acquainted with-tho lady. “gala.” In this son- tence Poe does not only convey the emotional tone, but he also suggests that character is the predominant ele- ment in the narrative. Poe chose his characters to illus- trate a theme that can be stated in these words which are quoted from Joseph Glonvlll and are repeated three times during the course of the story. “Man doth not yield himself to the angels, nor unto death utterly, save only through the weakness of his {cable will." The author, then, sat out to depict a choruter with a superhu- man will conquering death by the powerful application of volition Only two characters are used to de- velop the theme.

Both games produced close guard- ing and much defensive play, no team being ablo to flash a consistent aden- Iivo game for any considerable length of time. With the final quarter of the first game nearly half gone. the aophomons staged a desperate rally to overhaul the seniors who had run up a seven- polnt lead late in the third quarter. Chrlsuansou's three rapid-fire field goals and a pair of gift shots by Dahl- Ilel' turned the trick for the second- yuar men in the last three minutes of play. Both teams fought hard in the flush-junior tussle. but Emerson’s ability to sink flee throws over-came the edge in field goal shooting held by the juniors.

JANUARY 31, 1329 Juniors Make Merry At West Hall Music And Games Furnish Entertainment “All work and no play" may make dull even the brightest junior. Fear- ing such a calamity, the college juniors decided to throw off their cloaks of dignity and be “just human" for one short evening. Tobogganing seemed to lure the pleasure seekers, but Mother Nature and her step-son, the flu, upset all plans for an outing. Undaunted they sought indoor amusement. The West Hall parlor: and the new off—campus room furnished an ideal place for a jolly good time. ’ Music greeted the guests as they arrived. When a goodly number had gathered, the games began. How could anyone refrain from jollity with such companions as “Ola og Per"? Fearing that the guests might forget that they were students, the commit» bee in charge provided them with writing material and gave them ample opportunity to use their brains. As ‘ of J ' the judges were deeply impressed by the fact that the results of these tests followed the normal curve and clear- u y r I Then the boys began asking “cross questions", but the girls, as usual, had snappy comebacks in the form of “crooked-answers” which evoked great laughter and embarrassment on the part of some of the parties concerned. But the evening was not yet com» piete. Impersonations of all kinds and descriptions foflowed. Even the chaperone, Miss Hanson, was game and ably demonstrated her own be» havior when the alarm goes ofi' in the morning. It may be added that some juniors were heard to remark that they really saw some sense to the evolution theory after seeing "Pete" try to prove it. (Continued on page 3i Tobogganing Seniors Defy The Elements Entertained At Home Of Tryphine Nelson Braving a frigid northerly breeze, the hardiest of the seniors set out for Columbia Park, Saturday evening, Jan. 26. Upon arriving there they procured toboggans and set them- selves to enjoy the evening. The hoary meteor fell meanwhile, but, as the senior girls will attest, the tobog- gansrs put on a successful competitive performance. So engrossed had they become in the sport that when the command went out to remove to other regions, they " ' L ‘ their L re- luctantly. A long street car ride across the city brought the toboggan enthusiasts to the home of Tryphine Nelson, where they were promptly reconciled to their lot. It is said that some of the senior basketball team broke training that night, which prob- ably alfords an explanation of their defeat at the hands of the sophomores on Monday. But Father Time, stubborn old rc- probate that he is. would not be de- nisd. The taxi companies, however, were in a denying mood, and it seemed as though the seniors were to be left abroad that night. After a general council had been held—at which divers suggestions were offered, such as the calling of an ambulance, notifying the fire department, the breaking of a plate glass window to summon a police patrol—the merry- makers sallied forth into the street. In due time and in various ways, they reached their homes, nothing daunted aha-ed plenty of speed and drive. by the dimlties of their return. CALENDAR Feb. l—Augsburg vs. Gustavus, there.

Ladies Argue Instal- ment Buying Question Debates Being Arranged By Forensic Board While the men are busily engaged debating the “why’s” and “where- fore's" of the jury question, the Augs- burg women debaters are deep in the subject of ' ' buying. The question for the women dev haters of the colleges this year is, “Resolved: That the instalment buy- ing of ' goods should be condemned." Professor Severson has divided his squad temporarily into affiirmative and negative for the purpose of study- ing the question. At present, instal- ment buying is being condemned by Elsie Lokken. Tilma Leland, and Myrtle Juberg, and upheld by Pearl Norum, Tryphmt i‘s‘e’lsoi‘i, and Marie Halvorson. , With the forensic board at work arranging debates with other colleges, and with the whole-hearted coopera- tion of the coach and the debaters, the coming season promises to be very in- teresting. Sophs Present “A Trip Around The World” Norway, Japan, Holland, Among Countries Visited The S. S.

Captain Norman Anderson marched on shipboard with four gay sailor lads, After their song “0n the Deep Blue Sea" the whistle sounded and we were do for a “magic carpet" view of the world. Norway was the first stopping place. There midst the scenic back- ground we heard “Szterjentens Spn» dug" sung by Gertrude Vogt. At Hol- land a Dutch chorus in spite of wooden shoes and a tyranical Dutch- man gave a delightful representation of the windmills of Holland. In Spain a dashing young Romeo sang to his lady love as she sat in bar flower garden. Then the haunt- ing melody sung by the Volga boat. men reminded us of scenes in Russia. In Arabia the swarthy desert men sat in their camp and sang “I’ll Sing Thee Songs of Araby." The last imp of the s. s. Sophe more was in the Land of Orange Blos- soms. Four Japanese maidens in their colorful costumes sang to Yanki San, the little Japanese maiden.

The first principle which Rev. Paul named was that of investigation. He said, “More money is wasted through lack of investigation than in any other way. If you wish to do relief work, you must he sure you are giving to the right persons, so that your money will do some good." Beggars are very common in this city, as well as elsewhere, They all come under three classes. The first are those who want money to use for ‘moonshine‘. The sympathetic giver may be helping many beggars to drink themselves to death. as well as to help support the modern aristocrat, the buotleggel'. The second class of beggars fall under the name of dope users, who are usually criminals. To give money to any person in this class would only afford means of destruction to the receiver as well as the majority of persons in his company. Thc last class include all those who have lost their self-respect and have found they can make more money at begging than by any other means. From these facts enumerated the speaker pointed out that, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, one does more harm than good in helping the com- mon beggar. The second principle of relief work is adequacy. "Relief work should see ithe oppressed person through, help him solve his problems," said Rev. Paul. "It is quite true that most peo- ple will not appreciate the aid of the relief workers, but lack of apprecia- tion has been noticeable in man ever ((hmrmued 1)" page 3i Literary Societies To Present “Esther” Four Organizations Colla- borate To Produce Play “Esther”, a rouiuuul play, has been chosen as the drama which the literary societies will stage shortly after the opening of the third quarter. "Esther", which is based upon the Biblical stu ' w s )lleL’d by a com- mittee composed of members from the Kappa Gamma Rho, the Lambda Epsilon Phi, the Pi Alpha Theta, and the Delta Sigma Chi. Miss Selma Stork-n has nfi‘el'wl to mach the play ful‘ the societies. She has had, besides her Univel' , train- ing, hig .choul expel'lunce in this field. Miss Stol'ien expects to :m- nuunce within the next w k the date ui' the fryruuis for the different char- acters. As yet it has not been decided where "Esther" will be shown. The staging committee will make definite plans concerning this in the near future. Be- sides this committee to assist Miss Storien. there will alsu be costume and publicity committees. These are be- ing chosen from the various societies, This project will mark the first year of such cooperative work for the so- cieties. Members of the literary groups decided to unite their efforts in producing this play since such cos operation would facilitate business success, and would also result in a bet- ter dramatic presentation. This plan is being carried out with the inten- tion of making such a play an annual event. Next year the societies may begin work early during the fall quar- ter, with the object of staging a Shakespeariau play. Auggies Ti? 7‘ First Place By Downing Pipers Victors Still Undefeated 0n Pillsbury Floor In a futile attempt to hand the Augsburg team their first defeat this season. Hemline bowed down before a fast, aggr ,ve Maroon and Gray quint, Jililb, on the Pillsbury House floor, January 22. The win gives Augsburg an undisputed claim to first i are in the state conference and con- tinued possession of an undefeated record on the Flllsbury flour. The Halnlinc five displade a threat thing game of basketball during the ilrst half with a stiff defense and an micnse strung enough to earn several short shots at the basket. The Pipers broke up Augsburg scoring attempts repeatedly, and as the first half 9nd ed, they commanded a 14—12 lead. As the second half began, the home team spurtrd to a 22716 lead with a brilliant rally. Kolesar and EngbretA sun figured in tho Auggie scoring spree and were aided greatly by the superb floor work of their mates. Their fast, accurate passing game completely bewildered the Hamline live who were powerless before the Augsburg attack. Again the Mitchell men assumed the aggressive only to be repulsed by a beautiful stalling game on the part of the Auggic five. With thc— score 29723, the Hamline cagers strove desperately for the necessary game- winning field goal, but the tide of battle still remained with the Auggies as Rortvedt tipped in a shot or? the Lackboard for the final tally.

A. Sveeggen New Departments Some new departments are making their appearance in the Echo this week. It has seemed expedient to create these to take care of certain types of news. We have felt for some time that the alumni should have a little more to say in our paper, and it is therefore that we now have the Alumni column. The academy news has suffered too, and we are glad that the academy may now have its own depart- ment. This year has been a rather extensive development of the library, and it seems right that new books should have a place in the Echo. In order better to keep in touch with other colleges the Exchange column has been revived. Interesting bits from old Echoes will be found in “Echoes and Reechoes". “Campus Notes", (00, is an old column revived. As the reader will appreciate, the news has thus been system~ atized for his benefit with the “he who runs may read" idea. He who knows what he wants to read usually likes to know where he can find it. The purpose of the Echo is not to provide the stat? with interesting employment, but to satisfy, instruct, and entertain its readers. In so far as we succeed in this, we attain our purpose. Nothing would be more pleasing to us than to have our readers express their desires in the matter. To the extent that we are able, then, we shall make the Echo a better paper—— always realizing that we can not please all in every instance. That West Coast Tour We are glad that our Glee Club is able to go to the West Coast this year. We are glad not only for the sake of the members themselves, but for the sake of the whole school. Their success will be the success of Augsburg. Nothing warms the heart of an Augsburg student more than to hear that the people in his home community make favorable comments about the Glee Club. Not only its singing, but the con- duct of its individual members, has given the Glee Club a good reputation wherever it has traveled. We know of some little boys who decided that Augsburg was the school to which they were going, because their hearts had been won by two of the Glee Club members who had stayed in their home. We do not believe that this instance is exceptional. We feel that our Glee Club is worthy—in every way—of re- presenting Augsburg on the West Coast. Therefore we have no apprehensions about the success of their concert tour. Overloading Does a student know when he overloads? Each year as he registers for the various courses of his choice, there is a care— : ful checking-up on the number of hours for which the student has registered. If this shows that the maximum set by the school is exceeded. the students‘ record during the past is examined and the authorities decide whether or not he is capable of assuming the burden of extra hours. However. as the weeks pass, there is no limit to the number of extracurricular activities in which the student may engage re- gardless of the danger threatening his scholastic record. Perhaps the argument will arise that anyone who has reached college will know how much he can do. This may be true enough, but the situation is probably this: He is very much interested in the type of work an organization does and succeeds in becoming a member, not realizing that a large amount of work of various kinds must be done outside of the regular meetings if the organization is to progress and accomplish its aim. There must be loyal support for all its projects and hard work on the part of each member. No group desires members who are liabili 'es. The question remains as to whether or not the extracurricular activities at Augsburg should be grouped into major and minor activities according to the time required for each by its members, with a limit set to the number in which one student may partici- pate. Such a grouping is seems, would be of great benefit both to the individual and the extra~curricular activity. The Critic Says— Although it hurts the critic to say so, the sophomore program was very good. Though he himself was not there in person, he enioyed the even- ing immensely. The first number on the program was a song by four sunbumt, be~ whiskered young men (probably sail- ors). They made us long instinctively for the deep. This is not an insinua— tion that their singing was all wet. It was not. In fact, the critic thinks they could sing better than they could scrub decks. Urscell Johnson gave an interest- ing lecture on Davy Jones‘s Locker. He gave us some lawdowns on "20,000 leagues under the Sea.” His topic was “Asleep in the Deep." The Dutch boys were almost too beautiful to be real. To the critic the windmills of Holland resembled Augs~ burg basketball fans. This is not so strange, however, for, as Shakespeare says, human nature is the same the world over. Markus Halling gave a good mu- sical reading from Kipling‘s famous novel, “0n the Road to Mandalay." The grand climax came when Nor- wegians, Spaniards, Dutchmen, Ara- bians, and Chinsmen joined in sing- ing “America for Me.” Most of the audience were disappointed, for they would have been content to tarry abroad 8 little longer. Some became nervous about our immigration laws. Mission Study The importance of mission work can perhaps be best appreciated by turning to the memorable words of Christ, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” (Matt. 28:19). This command was not given only to the Apostles, but to each individual who has learned to know Jesus as his per- sonal Savior. This does not mean that every Christian should become a min- ister of the Gospel or a foreign mis- sionary, but it does place the respon- sibility of the evangelization of the world upon every believer. However, before any one can.react rightly to Christ's challenge he must become in- terested in mission work with a sense of devotion to its cause. He must be inspired and drawn by the Savior. The love of Christ must be the motive power. In such an attitude each child of God will respond favorably to Christ's challenge and surrender him- self as an instrument “meet for the Master‘s use.” He may become a mis- sionary or he may do a missionary's work with his means and support the missions through his prayers. When these things are done in the right at- titude to the “Master of the harvest“, they will afi'ord the solution of the secret of a most blessed life. With such an aim in view the Mis- sion Study Group meets once each week. Its members seek to stimulate within themselves and their fellow students an active interest in the cause of missions. By its study of the unoccupied mission fields, it hopes to be given a greater vision of the need of the world. Become an enthusiastic student of mission work. §xcfianyes "The Guslavian Weekly" Gustavus Adolphus has been honor- ed with a chapter of the Alpha Omega Psi fraternity.

With this is- sue of the “Echo”, a se te column devoted to Academy activmes makes its appearance for the first time. The Academy department wishes to thank the staff for the consideration they have shown us in giving us this op- portunity. This forward step is one of great importance. It will not only stimu~ late interest in the Academy, but wil draw the attention of the other stu< dents to the fact that the Academy is an individual group that is active along many lines. So, then, you Academy students. show your loyalty, interest, and ap- preciation by helping to make this new venture a success. Academy Beats Minnesota College The Augsburg Academy won an» other easy game in the Twin City Con- ference, 4847, on the Minnesota floor, Jan. 25. The game was slow and un- interesting, as the Auggies held a commanding lead throughout the fray. The feature of the game was the sinking of 11 field goals from under the basket by Thompson, the giant Augsburg center. He found little trouble in making the counters as An- derson and Lanes worked the hall down from their guard positions. “Shorty” Eliason played well at for- ward with Knutsen. As the lead mounted in the second half, Lanes and Knutsen were sent to the showers, giving way to their understudies, Johnson and Bjerke, who also played well. The Academy has now won two con- ference games and lost one. They wil. play the undefeated Bethel Academy from St. Paul here next Friday night. Feb. 1. This will be a close game, but the Auggies are out to win. Summary: Augsburg (48) Eliason, f. . . Knutson, f. , Bjcrke, 1’ Thompson, c. . Anderson, g. , ,, Lanes, g. ,, Johnson, g. FG. FT.

Minnehsha took the lead early in the game, but lost it a few minutes later when the Auggie odense broke loose with an attack which kept them in the lead the remainder of the game. Due to the small floor the game was rough in spots. The suggies suffered most from this by the injury of Cap— tain Anderson and the fourth personal being called on Knutsen in the third period. Thompson, the Auggie giant. and latest addition to the team, played a strong defensive game with Lanes, the flashy gulrd, while Eli-son. An- derson, and “Knute” led the ofl'ense.

Everyone arrived in good spirits and the evening promised to be one of thrills and excitement. Besides a few spills and frozen ears the evening passed without any ser~ ious mishaps. Noel Lanes found out that it isn‘t always the safest thing to go tobogganing with strangers, and “Gladdy” Oudal can tell you how it feels to suddenly find yourself at the bottom of a hill when you should be at the top. When everyone was finally persuad- ed that they had been sliding long enough, the party adjourned to the home of Juliet and “Jeff” Caspersen where “hotAdogs” and coEec were partaken of.

Blegen, Professor Emeritus, held for many years the chair of Professor of Greek at Augs- burg. It may be due to the interest thus created in his home and early life, as a student at Augsburg. that Carl William Blegen (class of 1904) became interested in the field of archeology, a field in which he has since attained preeminence as a scholar. Dr. Carl Blegen first visited Greece as a graduate student in the field of archaeology. He remained for a per» iod of about eighteen years, teaching at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, later becoming As- sistant Director, and finally Acting Director. Then he was invited to fill the chair of Professor of Archaeology at the University of Cincinnati, Cin- cinnati, Ohio. He accepted the pro- fessorship on the condition that he might spend a portion of each year completing excavations and studies be- gun out in Greece. During the first semester Dr. Blegen teaches at the University of Cincinnati, and the second he spends in Greece. Dr. Ble- gen sailed from New York, February '1, to continue his research work in the vicinity of Corinth. This work is being sponsored by the University and in time Dr. Blegen will direct the work of graduate students during the six months they spend in Greece each year. Dr. Blegen is the author of a num- ber of very scholarly books and num- erous technical articles which appear from time to time in the “Archaeologi- cal Journal". Ancient cities, temples, tombs, and other ruins are carefully excavated and minutely studied, and historical information of this remote period is compiled and enriched by these findings. “Korakou”, the title given to one of his books. is the name of a prehistoric settlement near Corinth where Dr. quen has been conducting his re- Iearch studies, excavating and recon- structing the history of this period. The work of Dr. Blegen is regarded in his technical field as that of a thorough scholar.

In spite of adverse conditions the people of Bisbee showed some real Dakotan spirit by turning out over two hund» red strong to hear us. Nothing spectacular happened on this day, unless it be fitting to record that Prof. Opseth broke his cello bow (no, not on George Tangvald, but while he was warming his instrument for the evening). Howaver, a skilled carpenter came to the rescue and saved the day. it may be well also to note that on this day, after many memal and phy- sical struggles, the first “daily dally" found its way to Augsburg. Now, on to Rugby— Tucsdau, Feb. 5— A long night at Bisbee left us well rested, and the trip to Rugby found many deeply absorbed in their books. Brief cases are, on the whole, much in evidence.

The rate at which Prof. Opseth consumed olives made a count impossible, even with the aid of the restaurant adding ma- chine. After sampling the chicken, someone ventured the guess that the Hagen girls had had something to do with its preparation. Wednesday, Feb. 6— At 12:15 P. M. Tuesday, we left Rugby. It gives the writer great pleasure to report a sound night's sleep. To many of the boys came their first experience of a twenty-five hour day.

Only a few hours after we had en- tered the city of Havre the ofiicials made a raid on a bootlegging joint, destroying about 15,000 quarts of beer. It is rumored that Knute Hoverr stein, applying his knowledge of chemical analysis, was a big factor in the raid. In the evening we sang before a ‘lighly appreciative audience at the H.

M” {erg ‘ ’ prim for the winners, are open for 5—8, were well attended by the stu- dents. The speakers at these meetings were Hinionary M. A. Pederson and Rev. E. M. Hemmingson. Their messages were filled with conviction and they showed that they understood the needs of the young people of today. Some of the main points presented in the message may be mentioned. There is a great soul unrest in the world today. This unrest is revealed in the dealings of the various nations and in the lives of individuals. The prodigal son was not satisfied in his day, and there are many in his posi- tion today. Another thing that was emphasised was that God can help only those who see their own helpless condition. One must be a sinner before he can be saved. This is absolutely necessary. God wants all the honor connected with solution. Furthermore, God loves the whole world and not a select few. God gave his only Son in order that all might have eternal life. Finally, there are many who have a confused idea of the value of things. The rich young man who came to Je- ns and naked how he might receive carnal life was not aatisflad with the worldly riches, and yet he was not willing to pay the price necessary for salvation. He had a confused idea of the value of things. Numerous ex- amples might be quoted to show that the same condition exists in this age. It is one of the serious problems which face the young people of today. Rev. M. A. Pederson, Missionary from lndia, spoke to the student body at the chapel hour, Friday, Feb. 1. Choosing his theme from Matt. 14: 22-33, wherein is told of Jesus walk- ing on the water and cheering His disciples, Rev. Pedcrson said that “If there is anything which we Christians used. it is good cheer." couragad. Be is willing to do the same for all those who really desire incidents from the mission fields to show that in spiritual trouble. The Saviour alone can cheer the soul. Remember. “Jesus is near.” it.

Pederson cited Jesus is near to those Student Volunteers Convene At St. Olaf “Christ For The World” Is Missionary Topic The Minnesota Student Volunteer Convention will be held at St. Olaf College, Northfield, February 22, 23, and 24.

But there will also be the Augsburg Oratorical Contest. The date of only one, the Peace Contest, is definitely set. That will be staged at Gustavus Adolphus Col- lege of St. Peter, Minn. As soon as the date of the Constitution meet is leaned, the forensic board will be able to determine the time for the home contest, which was tentatively set for May 1. Prof. Severson believes elimina— tiona for the Constitution and Peace Contests will be necessary. In case these are arranged for, the two or three perosns having the best orations on each topic will go into the final home contest, and best one in each field will represent the school in the two away from home. Anyone not wishing to prepare ora- tions on the constitution or the peace topic may write on other topics, if he wishes to take part in only the Augsburg contest. Silver Tea Given By East Hall Co-eds Proceeds Used To Complete W. S. G. A.

Music was furnished throughout the afternoon by the following people: Vocal solo, Orion Stenchiem; coronet solo, Harold Davis; and violin solos, Alex Borrevik. In the evening, June Johnson, a pu- pil of Marie Lernobn, gave a group of piano solos, and Gertrude Vogt and Luella Foss gave some piano duets. Clarence Hegg played a Coronet 3010, Alex Borrevik a violin solo. and Helen Mikkelson, a group of piano solos. Esther Knutson was in charge of the general arrangements.

It is here presented for‘Echo readers. Saturday, Feb. 2— After a strenuous afternoon of pre- paration the Glee Club found itself at the Union Depot, apparently all ready to depart—and only apparently. Time forbids the enumeration of all the ar- ticles forgotten. Fortunately, all of the boys remembered some of their clothes, so that as yet there has been no cause for embarrassment. We (please pardon the change in person) greatly appreciate the send- olf at the station. It may seem strange, but it is the case M's, foo, appre- ciate moral support. The night on the sleeper was, to many, a sleepless one, and several felt that they were scarcely repaid for their elforts of struggling into the berths. Sunday, Feb. 3— When We had all been made pre- sentable—more or less—through the efiorts of the porter, we stepped onto the platform at Harwood at 5:45 A. M. and were greeted by some typical North Dakota weather. (This point was suggested by a Minnesotan). We were taken about six miles out. in the country in a raw wind over drifted roads. We sang our regular flsterdalen in the forenoon. In the evening we boarded the Oriental Limited and got to Hillsboro barely in time to dress for the evening concert. Rev. Flagstad made good use of us by asking for some talks and more songs, both in the afternoon and even- ing.

Realizing the futility of a race, they turned out to let “Si” and his cohorts pass by. As they did so a rear tire blew out in noisy applause (presumably for the team). The un- complaining seven did see some sense to that timely explosion, even though they had to ride to town on the rim. While the garage-man was fixing that one, somebody discovered an- other slow leak, and another ten minutes elapsed.

He is not merely a good man, a perfect example; He is the Son of God. He has opened to us the gates of salvation. The greatest thing about Him is, that He is what He claims to be. in the second place, He is our Per- feet Pattern. With such pattern to follow, no one needs to live in vain. It is the natural thing to follow Christ, for “He purchased me, not with silver not gold, but with His own blood." “On the other hand, Jesus Christ is my Lord,” he continued. Many peo> ple want. the good things of the Chris- tian religion, but when it comes to the Lordship, they want to reject Him. If one is unwilling to yield to Him, He cannot direct his life. Christ has the right to dominate us completely. He has the right to be concerned about our bodies, to keep them pure and clean in order that they may be the temples of the Holy Spirit.

Faculty Adviser Opportunity Frequently opportunities lie so near to us that before we rea- lize it, they have slipped by and we find ourselves wondering at our own blindness. As students we are seeking the broadest pos- sible education. Are we getting it? Augsburg students have an advantage over students in small- town colleges. At our very door are the cultural advantages of the city. Artists in music and drama appear in Minneapolis from time to time. Do we make an effort to hear and see the best? Speakers of national and international fame give lectures at the university and elsewhere that, as students, we ought certainly to hear. A glance through any city newspaper informs the public of something worth while to see and hear as a part of the process of getting an education. Now is the time to seize the opportuni- ties at hand. Success And Sportsmanship Athletic success and failure seems to run in cycles, and that principally because of the law of averages. There are the full years—full of championship achievements and honors galore. And there are the lean years, when victories come sporadically and are hard-won. But what effect does success or mediocrity in athletics have upon players and supporters of college teams? Strangely enough, we find that good sportsmanship thrives best—not in the midst of athletic glory, but where only moderate success has been the rule. Take Macalester, for instance. We know of no better “sports” in the conference than her supporters. And yet, her athletic efforts have not been overly successful of late. What about Augsburg? Here we have had championship teams in football, basketball, and hockey during the last two years. Surely success has been ours. Of late we have lost several basketball games, lost them when another championship was ap- parently to be ours. We hear mutterings, not many, but they‘re there—“Whats wrong? Why didn‘t the coach use this man?" These are typical. Students of Augsburg have boasted of their sportsmanship. Has our success of late bred the insidious germs which already appear to be eating away at the core of our code? Nothing suc- ceeds like success, they say—but, can we stand prosperity? It were far better that we drop every remaining game on our schedule than that we break contact with that ability to lose-with- :l-grin that has characterized Augsburg students of the past. Let's hold on to that old trait. Be graceful winners, but good losers. too. The curses and the jeers that we sometimes hear after basket- ball games show that there is still something left to be learned about sportmanship. Can we enjoy a game only when our opponents are defeated? A joy that depends on the humiliation of others can hardly come from above. The one who must always curse defeat can never really enjoy victory, for his joy is thoroughly selfish and is often nothing more than an exultation over the discomfiture of others. If victory were the sole object of a basketball team, the players would be justified in seeking it at any cost. All our talk about sportsmanship, however, is an admission that there is something besides victory to be sought. Therefore, we need not fail even though we lose every game. The trouble that we prac— tice very imperfectly what we profess to believe. ilv Joe/brie: Pi‘Alpha Theta The delightful short stories of Guy de Maupassant proved the source of a half hours entertainment for mem- bers of Pi Alpha Theta, assembled at East Hall, Thursday evening, Feb, ’I. Clarence Hegg, Esther Knutsou, Lewis Serge, Sigurd Berg, and Estelle Halvorson provided reviews of some of the Frenchman’s best stories, in- cluding a few of his refreshingly silly pieces. Lucille Nilsen concluded the program with l reading. Plans were launched for a toboggan party. the financing of which provided the topic for discussion until adjourn- ment. Kappa Gamma Rho On Thursday evening, January 31, the Kappa Gamma Rho literary so— ciety met in East Hall for a very in- teresting discussion centered around the works of Edwin Markham. This poet is one of the most re- markable of modern writers, because of the many dlfiiculties he had to over- come in order to reach his present height of fame. He is essentially a poet of the common people, and his great ambition was to relieve the op- pression among the poorer working classes. This sentiment is superbly expressed in one of Markham’s great- est poems, “The Man with the Hoe." Here he vividly portrays a man who is sorely oppressed with work and poverty, and he wonders if this is the fulfilling of God's plan with his crea- tion. Markham’s greatest poem, however, concerns a national hero, and it is en- titled, “Lincoln, the Man of the People." No better words could be used to express the great love and esteem for this man than his own. “The grip that swung the ax in Illinois, Was on the pen that set a people free." All members who participated in the program showed thorough knowl- edge of their subject, and so, from a literary viewpoint, “the meeting was a success.

A good deal of attention has been paid to the basketball prospects of the college team, but there is another hsketball team here at Augsburg that stands a fair chance of bringing home the laurel: this year. The aca- demy team has won four games and lost one so far this season. In a bril- liant way the "prep" beam showed their basketball prowess last Satur- day night in their game with Bethe]. Let us get behind this team also, and give them our loyal support in helping them to win their remaining games. Come on, academites, let's go! Academy Quint Trounces Concordia H. 8., 27-19 The Augsburg basketball team trim- med Concordia, Jan. 31, on the Augs~ burg floor. They took sweet revenge for that 28-30 defeat handed them in the first conference game. The game was interesting throughout and a fine brand of basketball was displayed by both teams. Knutsen sent the Auggie preps ahead early in the game by sinking two field goals. Concordia then drop- ped in a long shot to make the fray more interesting. Knutsen counted two more goals before the period end- ed, and was the oustanding man in the first half. Knutsen was taken from the game on four personal fouls and was re- placed by Bjerke. Concordia rallied to come within three points of the Augsburg lead before Anderson sent two field goals through the hoop. El— liason added two more points and the game ended, 27-19, in favor of the Auggies. Lanes played a splendid game at guard and Thompson per- formed at the pivot position in credit- able fashion.

Auggie Quint Defeats Bethe] In Overtime The academy basketeers defeated Bethe] in one of the hardest fought battles in the history of the confer- ence last Saturday night on the Augs- burg fioor. The game was one of many thrills and tibscores. At half time the score was tied at 12 all, and the score at the final gun was again tied, 23-23. The game was played on in a five minute overtime period in which the Auggies outplayed their op- ponents to win the game, 27-23. This victory gave Augsburg undisputed lead in the conference standings with four victories and one defeat. Flas'r HALF Augsburg had the edge on Bethe] in the first quarter. The Auggiel started the scoring in the opening minutes of play with a field goal by Thompson. Bethe] knotted the count a minute later with a field goal. Elia- son, Auggie forward, then followed with two field goals and a free throw and the first period ended with Augs‘ burg in the lead 7-4. Bethe] rallied in the second period and forged ahead where they re- mained until half-time. Lanes tied the score with a free throw shortly before the gun sounded at 12 all. SECOND HALF The third quarter was played on quite even terms featured by close guarding on both sides. Both teams battled for the lead as the game ad- vanced, the third period ending with Augsburg on the short end of a 14-15 count. The fourth period was featured by an Augsburg rally as they exerted their final efforts to overcome the live point lead which had mounted against them in the opening minutes of the final period. Thompson cut the lead to three points when he put in a short shot and Knutsen tied the count shortly before the final gun when he intercepted a pass and dribbled down for a close shot which was successful. He was hacked in the act of shooting and received two free throws—Bethe] called time-out. Augbsurg was trail- ing by one point as play resumed and Knutsen made good one of his gift shots to tie the score at 23 all. The game ended with the tie still standing and a five minute overtime period was played to decide the victory. The Auggies came back in the over- time period stronger than ever and won by a four point margin. Thomp- son scored the winning basket and Anderson put the game on ice with a long shot. The game ended 27-23 in Augsburg’s favor. A return game will be played with Bethe], Feb. 19.
