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. Augsburg offers other music opportunities in the college band, quartets, trios, and various other musical organizations. Show less

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.

N THE UNWRlTTEN HISTORY of Christian people in this great land of ours many chapters on devoted loyalty and sac' riiicial givng to the cause of the Kingdom of Christ by individual men and women could be fitted in. This is especially true in the field of Christian Education Colleges and Seminarics which have today a reason! ably safe financial backing look with grativ tudc to certain men and Women who saw what great services such institutions could render our nation, and they gave generously of their means to promote their work. Some gave large sums while they lived, and others left testamentary gifts after they died. Their example and foresight is an inspiration to the generations that follow them. - While we are rejoicing in the thought and expressing our gratitude for what others have done in this area of Christian service it is important that we keep before us also the opportunities that God wants us to make use of for ourselves. Most of us are so situated financially that we cannot give large sums of money. But this fact does not ex' cuse us from having a share in a good work. nor does it bar us from being along to reap the blessings that sacrificial giving brings. We can all adopt, if we are interested. a plan of systematic and regular giving of smaller sums. And as the many streamlets make the large river so can a group of interested individuals with moderate means do great things for a good cause. Alumni. former students and other friends of Augsburg have been looking for some time for an organization through which the best interests of Augsburg could be promoted both spiritually and financially. This organi' zation, we believe, has now been formed. It came into being last summer by joint action of the Alumni Association and the Augsburg Board of Trustees. It is called The Augsburg Foundation Fellowship. The purpose of this new organization is three-fold: 1. To unite more closely into a spiritual fellowship all who are vitally interested in the Augsburg program of Christian Education. 2. To win new friends for Augsburg. 3. To build the foundation for a "living endowment" for the financial support of Augsburg, and to place this support on a firmer and a more adequate and regular basis. Up to the present time those who have been entrusted with the duties of promoting this Work have been busy mainly with lays ing the foundation. The constitution is ready and adopted. Some publicity has been given to the organization through the church publications. All Augsburg College Alumni, other than the pastors of the Lutheran Free Church, have been contacted by corresponr dence, and a beginning has been made to contact a number of individuals personally. We are more interested in building slowly and carefully, laying broad foundations for a "long range" program, rather than build, ing hurriedly. A membership list is also started. Sixty'flve had joined by February 1. For these first sixtyvfive the yearly pledge totals somewhat more than a thousand dole lars. The plan for the future is to work for enlistment of more members among Alumni, former students and friends of Augsburg who understand and appreciate the value of a Christian Education program. All memv bers of the Fellowship will receive the new Augsburg Bulletin. Report on the work of the Fellowship will be given from time to time. We believe that this plan has great possibilities for serving Augsburg in a prac- tical:way, and it is hereby heartily recom' mended to the readers. Olaf Rom, Executive Secretary of the A. F. P.

Personnel Director Norman Anderson, will give a larger proportion of his time to this activity in the second semester and summer months following. The maintenance of a goodrsized student body is a “must” for Augs‘ burg, and perhaps most colleges, be' cause of the large proportion of in' come received from this source. Unless radical steps are taken, we will per, haps suffer equally in decreased enrol' ment with the others. (Latest figures from the University of Minnesota show some branches there have already decreased 35% from a year ago.) But what can be done? Our l’resir dent mentions several things in his article in this issue. Here is something else. Under the leadership of Jerome Formo, ‘37, present Alumni president and a camera fan for many years, the Executive Committee is going forward with plans for a film on the historical development of Augsburg, and its pres ent program. Prof. Lillehei”s collee' tion of pictures and literature on this subject will be an invaluable aid in the project. Those who are especially inr terested are invited to help out on the financial end. At least $150 will be needed to do a good job. We are hop' ing to complete it by graduation time. Augsburg Men in the Service... A large number of Augsburg graduates and undergraduates have already shown their loyalty to their country and the cause of freedom. Evidently these boys are acquitting themselves well, and are a credit to the service as well as to their School. Not only are there many privates and seamen, but approximately twenty per cent of the boys are oflicers, ranking from corporal to major. Nearly onevthird of these are lieutenants, with ensigns and corporals next in number. The men are to be found in many fields of the service: as chaplains, in the medical service, in engineering, aviation—principally connected with the navy or marines,—-—cavalry, artillery, infantry, coast guard, the antivtank corps, and other branches. * Several of the graduates are at‘the ’United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Two of our graduates from Canada are in the service of their native land. Already some of the men are over—seas. Augsburg is justly proud of the place which the School plays in the defense of the sacred principles which are dear to all liberty'loving, respectable, Chris! tian peoples. Our pride in our service men increases with the ever'growing number who are serving our country—-who are willing to sacrifice unto death. We are proud of their achievements, whether it be meritorious service, or faith, fully carrying on their regular and, at times, more or less colorless duties. Bernhardt J. Kleven. Show less
