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.

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.

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.

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

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

Show moreALUMNI REVISE CONSTITLH‘ION Old grads and young grads will "move over” to make room for all former Aug- gies in a greatly enlarged Association if the new Constitution proposed by the Alumni Executive Committee is adopted at the Annual Meeting in May. No other matter of business has con- cerned the attention of the Committee to a greater degree during the past months than constitutional revision. The new one incorporates all the good ele- ments of the 1916 edition which is the only one discoverable. It also follows quite closely the pattern of the Model Consti- tution suggested by the American Alumni Council, of which the Augsburg Associ‘ ation is now a member. Of the scores of organizations now connected with the Council Augsburg's seems to be one of the very few that permits only graduates as members of its Association. Auggies who are .unable to attend the annual meeting may have a voice in the business of the Association never-the-less according to the new document. Provi— sion is made for a mail ballot for election of officers. Another new feature suggested is the creation of an Alumni Board which will become increasingly important as new re- gional organizations begin to function in various areas. Each region will be asked to delegate a representative to serve on the Board. Since there is a limited time for the business at the next annual meeting, too, the Executive Committee appeals to all Auggics to study the proposed constitu- tion as soon as they receive it, and then report their reactions.

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

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