Show moreWatking Eaget/ter The task of counseling and guiding college students may seem trivial and uneventful to those who do not know what goes on behind the scenes in college life. Those whose duty it is to counsel and guide young people know that their vocation offers them an ex cellent opportunity to exercise all the knowledge and skill of their profession. The feeling that he has helped to mold the character or direct the life of a young man or woman gives the instructor or counr selor a feeling of satisfaction and a sense of achiever ment. Such counseling requires the student and faculty cooperation illustrated by the pictures on this page. The picture in the upper rightvhand corner shows Registrar Martin Quanbeck helping a group of stu' dents to choose the program of study which will best suit their individual needs. The increasing pro, portion of women students is suggested by the pic ture. The above newsphoto appeared in the Minne- apolis Daily Times.

At the head of the department is Miss Ruth Segolson, formerly an instruc' tor at the University of Minnesota. The pro, gram is one of home economics in general education and most classes are open to both men and women. Students who wish trainr ing for home economics as a profession will find courses which are comparable to courses offered in the first two years of institutions offering a major in home economics, and will need to transfer to such an institution for professional training. A variety of courses are offered for the young woman interested in homemaking and the solution of personal problems. The home economics program at Augsburg offers courses in nutrition, clothr ing selection and related art, home planning and furnishing, clothing construction, meal planning and preparation, home manage' ment, child care and development, consumer education, income management, and crafts. \ The picture above was part of a feature on home economics at Augsburg, which appeared in the Women‘s News section of the Minneapolis Tribune. It shows Miss Ruth Segolson, the home economics instructor, and several of the students comparing various color schemes for home decorations.

That is why a great deal of consideration is given" to planning other activities for Augsburg students. Special student and faculty committees cooperate in order to coordinate a program which will be in accordance with the tastes and welfare of Augsburg students. Those activities are planned which will enrich student life and pro vide wholesome relaxation. First of all, many of the students' experiences cen' ter about religion and practical Christianity. There are daily chapel seryices which students and faculty attend. There are also special fellowship groups which seek,to further the spiritual life on the campus and which encourage participation in church and mission work in the city. One of the groups which affords Augsburg students fellowship with other Lutheran students of the Northwest is the Lutheran Student Association. Re cently Augsburg College was host to the Land O‘Lakes Region of this association. The picture in the upper right hand corner, which appeared in the Minneapolis Star-Journal, shows two Augsburg cor eds as they prepared for this event. The Augsburg College Choir is an organization which has gained national fame and recognition. The a capella choir of nearly sixty voices is under the able direction of Professor Henry P. Opseth. Besides giving several important Twin City cone certs every year, the choir makes a tour through' out the various communities of the Northwest. Members of the choir are regular college students who have tried out on a competitive basis.

The alumni of Augsburg have before them this year a real program. It should capture the interest of every loyal alumnus. It will be an opportunity for truly con- structive service on the part of every graduate of our school. For the first time the Augsburg Alumni Association has an executive secretary, in the person of Abner Batalden, who will give a part of his time to this work. He will seek as far as possible to make ef- fective the Eight-Point Program recently mailed to all our members and devote him- self particularly to promoting the Sver- drup-Oftedal Memorial Hall project. The larger gifts for Memorial Hall are already beginning to come in. Such gifts should very soon begin reaching the treas- urer’s office at Augsburg in large numbers. This time it is hoped and expected that the members of the Augsburg Alumni Associa- tion make a real effort. We should en- deavor to make our gifts from $100.00 and REV. CLARENCE J. CARLSEN up. A number of our graduates could give several hundred dollars. Some will no doubt do so; others have already sent in their pledge or their contribution. Why not sit down today and make out your check or your pledge. Do this without waiting for some one to call on you and you will save the dormitory campaign fund a great deal of expense. It costs money to send out solicitors. Let’s save as much of this as possible. Of course, our executive secretary hopes to contact personally as many of our alumni as possible. When he does so, accept his visit and receive him joyfully. After all, this is an opportunity for rendering a common service. He is our representative. Help him to say as he leaves your home or your office: “Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul." He will need such strength, as the building of a $125,000.00 building in these days will be no small task. It will require real effort on our part. It will lift us to higher levels of sacrifice and spirituality, but will also return to us a greater measure of the joy of accomplishment than we have known for some time. Unitedly let us give ourselves to the accomplishment of this task, the building of a new hall for old Augsburg. She needs it. I would say that she must have it. Having set our minds and hands and hearts to this task we cannot look back. We must by God’s help go forward until our objective has been reached. C. J. CARLSEN. 3 Augsburg Alumni Bulletin Show less

Perhaps many have the same question on their lips. It is a demand entirely in order, one that should be answered. I only wish I could present an anSWer revealing greater accomplishment. Foundation for a Press Bureau was laid last spring. Students are in- terested in such an organization and want to work in it. Though the organi- zation cannot be effected until school starts, you have seen that news has already appeared in newspapers of some towns where our students and alumni live, in the twin city papers, and in such publications as “The Bond", “The Daytonian", and numerous twin city Shoppers’ Guides. This is your first “Augsburg Alumni Bulletin.” Contacts with state high schools for teaching vacancies are planned in connection with the visiting of alumni for the Building Fund during the coming year. Other contacts in writing may be made also. Augsburg Alumni Bulletin 4 Show less

If possible we want to have an autumn meeting in each district. If that cannot be arranged, we shall con- centrate on the spring meeting. In the meantime all alumni are invited to return to their Alma Mater for Homecoming, October 29—31. The number of returning grads has grown in recent years. Join your friends and classmates, and meet new students at this year’s Auggie Homecoming. Many of you will be at District M.E.A. meetings. We shall try to help you organize Augsburg re-unions at such centers. For the fifth point more information and opinions from teaching alumni —and others interested in coming—are needed. What do you think of such an outing? An outing intended for vacation purposes chiefly, with the pos- sibility of a few seminar discussions if they are wanted. During what part of the summer would it be most convenient and desirable? Student enlistment is completed for this season. Not even last year did registration of new students at this time of the month look as hopeful as it does now. There is a sound basis for believing we will have the largest freshman enrolment—as well as college enrolment—in our history. Our stu- dents, and many alumni, have cooperated wonderfully in giving encouragement to prospective students. Special representatives have made contacts with pros- pects at Bible Camps ‘and District Conventions, using the assistance of posters and testimonial sessions.
