An Alumnus of a church school is also Ivan of the fact that part ofthecostofhlseducatlonispald for by others than himself. The student pays a part through tui- tion and fees, and the friends of Augsburg and members of the Lu- theran Free Church, who support Augsburg. pay the other part. Among these friends and members of our churches people with mea— ger means in many instances make heavy sacrifices in order to help Augsburg to continue to give to her students a college training at a very reasonable cost. When students graduate and get into money earning positions, It becomes for many a matter of honor to show their appreciation for what their Alma Mater has done for them, both by encoura» ling others to enroll as students at Augsburg and to take their pla- ces in the ranks of regular suppor- ten of the institution. When the day comes for an Alumnus that he can honestly say that he has paid back to the institution that part of the cost of his education which these unknown friends; — pastors. business men. farmers, office girls, tradesmen. and day- loboren have supplied. it gives him a real feeling of satisfaction. In this way he enables the insti- tution to do for others what it has done for him. it is one of the plu'poaes of the A. F.

LGudemanitad Losing only one of its personnel from last year's organization, the Augsburg Gospel Quartette will again travel through communities of the Northwest this summer. The tour this year will not be as extensive as last year's, when some cities on the west coast were visited. About six weeks will be spent in Northern and Central Minnesota, in Wisconsin and Ea- stern North Dakota. Gerhard Bretheim, freshman, of Harvey, N. D., replaces Lawrence Gudmestad as first tenor, since the latter has accepted a call to serve a congregation. Other mem- bers are Merton Strommen. Kar- sten Kristenson and Leland Steen. The latter are of the theological department. The purpose of the singers will be to bring a witness to the gospel of Christ through song and testi— mony. They will act as represen- tatives of the Luther Lcaguc ch- eration of the Lutheran Free church and also have a part in Augsburg‘s student solicitation program. The tour is arranged under the direction of the person- nel office and covers the period from August 3 to September l3. Andrew Johnson Accepts Pastorate Andrew Johnson, retiring fresh- man president, was honored by his class at a farewell party Sunday night, March 29. in the dining hall. "Andy" is leaving Augburg to accept a pastorate at Walker, Minnesota. Hardis Bakken was in charge of the program which consisted of singing and short testimonials. Grace Carlsen. vice president of the freshman class presented a gift to “Andy” from the class. Members of the Christian Fel- lowship Group of which "Andy" was a leader also took part in the program. Lunch was served after the pr0> yam. / somewhat complete. The charter members of the Augsburg Founda- tion Fellowship are determined that a program such as this shall be realized some day in the fu- ture. And the faster the member- ship grows in the A.

Social, Religious Phases V . . - Book Campaign Functions "I did. did you?" was the slogan of the Victory Book campaign hold at Augsburg during the past week. The drive was sponsored by the Student Defense Commit- tee of which George Lindbcck is chairman. The books collected will be sent to U. S. 0. Recreation Con- tcrs for the use of men in the armed forces. Book tags nearing the slogan were given to students who con- tributed books. The goal set by the Victory Book Committee was one book from each studcnl. The Book Committee was hood- cd by Et‘l'ljal‘nll‘l Gjenvick with David Boxrud, Victor Emerson and May Krohn assisting Carlson Accepts Navy Position “I believe it is the duty of ev- ery able bodied man to do his duty for the duration of the war." said football coach Bob Carlson in an interview prior to his departure to the United States Naval Ac— ademy at Annapolis, where he will receive a three months phy— sical education course. Genial Bob left Minneapolis on the Hia- watha Sunday morning March 22, in company with four former team-mates on Minnesota foot- ball teams. Coach Carlson was graduated from the Univeristy of Minnesota in 1937 with the B. S. degree and a major in physical education. After graduation Mr. Carlson held a position as Director of Athletics at the Glenwuud high school, Glt'th’UOd. Minnesota. He was appointed Augsburg's foot- ball coach in April. 1940.

Journalism Class Edits Echo April first holds no terror for the Journalism claSs. Requested by EdllOl’ Thorson to take charge of one issue as the Custom has been, the neo- phytes of the newspaper field proceeded to elect a staff that would engineer an l>sut to ap- pear on April Fool's Day itself. Carl Woyk e and Steven Brooks, the latter a new student in February, were selected as co- editors. Lester Bro- man got the assignment to cov- er the spans: Esther Paulson the religious news; and Mary Ann Johnson edits the society news. Other members were as» signed to v a r i o u s reportial tasks. A special meeting of the Augs- burg Sludcnt Society was held March 26 for the dual purpose of making prcparations for the annu- al all-school Honor Banquet and also for the purpw‘ of vlccling a now financial '(‘t 1r_\' to ful- fill the vacancy left by John Kis— singer who coniplotcd lllS studies at Augsburg at the and of the (ITS! semester. Hardis Bukkon. fresh- man. was the successful nominee. There will be an Honor Bim- quct, but a portion of tho pl‘O' cccds will be silfrlllCt‘d fur the promotion of Chris‘le work among lhc soldiers in the armed forces. This plan was one of three plans proposed to tho Sluduul body by the Studan Council. Other plans proposed were: that tho hanun lm Cunrcllutl unliri'ly and the total procvcds in tho stu» dent trcnsury wcn‘ to be used for the above purpose: or that :1 social gathering would lic hold til the Augsburg recreation balls with a small lunch and remainder of the funds to he dispost‘d of in the same mnnncr as previously mon- tinned. The adopted plan will call for the use of money in the fund for this purpose plus an additional amount per person per ticket. Students Asked to Back Solicitations “Augsburg students must more and more get behind the program of student solicitation if we are to maintain a good-sized student body next year."

When the child is old enough it is sent to Sun- day school and church, and both parents act as examples by taking an active part in the church. Early childhood soon passes and then come school days. These are important. as well as enjoyable days fro the child for itia during this time that it makes contacts and friendships that will leave lasting im‘ prraaiona. Already here the child hears and reads things which are contrary to those teachings which it learned at math cr's knot- Here, however, the child has the assistance of its parents and pastor to keep his thoughts from going astray. But all too soon school days are over and then comes one of the most critical momean in tho lift- of the prospective col- ll'gc student. The time has arrived to choose the institution which will offer the boat facilities to prepare the individual for hia particular vocaton. Much inquiring is done: bulletins are obtained and authorities consulted. But sad to say in too many cases one element is omitted. This is the first thing which the child learned. namely, Christianity, Parents and child choose this or that college because their friends have attended there. or because it is noted for its instructors and sports. lnquirers do not always malize that many schools teach doctrinn directly opposite to those which the child learned and confessed in confir- mation. Often they teach that the BIBLE is only a “fine piece of literature." and that earth and man evolved out of chaos. This has caused such great conflict in the minds of many of our youth that they have “pigeon-holed" Christianity in favor ol man-mada You ask. where may one obtain an ed- ucation without sacrificing those thinu things which should be moat important? This is the place of the Christian liberal ark college in society. The Christian col- loge otters the same opportunities as those 01 other institutions but students are also taught to observe all things through the eyes at Christ. Almost daily Christian col- lege students testify that life has taken on a fuller meaning to them because no< where else could they experience such educational and whgiou sguidance and fellowship as is offered in a Chr'ut'aah eol< loge. Nowhere eLse, outside of home. could they ate as students and faculty to worship the One True God and ruin his salvation through Chm Joa- in.

Ateven Brooks. Lenten Meditation Let us prepare ourselves worthily for the forth coming anniversary. The Cross of Christ is the central theme of all Scrip- ture and through the supreme sacrifice that was offered there in our stead, pardon and forgiveness are effected for the sinner who seeks peace with God through Jesus Christ our Lord. How do we stand in the sight of God? Are there some of us who are not in need of Christ! God's Word says that than is not one rightaomnonotone. “rurallhave sinned and come short of the glory of God." So then every human being is in dire need of repentance and salvation through Christ. “Who his own self. bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sin. should live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye are healed."—Peter 2:24i 0h, unworthy sinner. grace is awaiting you. and salvation is offered to you; all through the gracious love of our Saviour. Jesus Christ. He. who gave himself a ran- som for all. should not we come and receive Him now? Do not wait until it is too late, for He says, “Now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation." Procrastination is the cause of thousands entering a Christ- less eternity. If you have not seen the vision ol the glorious cross, and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. then He urges you to we unto Him now, Place every care, every burden, and every weight upon Him. for He shall male the load light “Collie unto lie. all ye that labor and are heavy laden. and I will give the rut." mammmo m .

We hope that this is in no way similar to discumion of the man from the farm and the man from the big city who were de— fending the ments of each locality. The farmer said that in case of difficult tunes could eat their forest preserves. “You've nothing on us,” said the city man, “we can eat our traffic jams."

Physical fitness is becoming a major part of the Augsburg Col- lege cumculum these days. Some of the boys like to do a little boxing once in a while. We recall the incident where one of the boys Wm talk- ing to his trainer. Boxer: Have I hurt my opponent yet? Trainer: No, but if you wave your hands long enough he might catch a cold. Since we are on the verge of a vacation we would like to impart to you a few incidents which have happened during the past vacations. We are told that before the time came when we had to be careful about cutting down on auto expenditures the typical way that father would answer an inquirer who wished to know if the son was home from college was to tell them him he didn't know for sure but he thought that he must be because he hadn’t seen his car and his best neckties for the past three days. Another father tells that one morning he happened to see his son at breakfast. He gathered up enough nerve to ask the son. “What was that loud noise when you came in last night?" “Oh. that was just night falling," said the son. “It sounded more like day breaking to me,” replied the father. A long, long time ago one of our Augsburg boys went to the circus during his vacation. He was watching one of the main events when a bystander asked him, “Is that bearded lady your mother?" “No, that's my father," was his answer.

The seminarians have had a long~standing custom of electing one of their number each year as a regular officer of their society, to act as “Pope.” His chief duty is to watch over his fellow celi- bates and keep the sheep from straying into marital paths. A hasty survey of the history of this exalted institution failed to Show any former Pope as having jump— ed the fence (that is, to take a wife) during his tenure of office.

He is Mr. Norman Myrvik, Lyric Tenor. While in service Mr. Myrvik was guest soloist with the Kansas City Summer Symphony. He won first place as tenor soloist in the Seventh Service Command Music Contest which comprised entries of professional Army Musicians from nine states. He also directed camp choruses and concerts, ap- peared on weekly radio programs and presented recitals for the Kansas City Music Club. He will be featured with Audrey Landquist, Concert Pianist. The program consists of five groups of selections. Some of Mr. Myrvik’s 50195 are “Comfort Ye My Peo- ,ple" from the Messiah. “Hark! Hark!

Veterans Enroll And Set Record Enrollment at Augsburg this semester has surpassed all previ- ous records. Returning veterans have brought the number of new stu- dents this semester to 138. Of these new students, only ten are women and the majority of the rest are vets. The total number enrolled the first semester was 288. This was more than that of a few previous years. Some rooms in Old Main have been made available for new stu- dents to room in. 300.000 New Goal For Building Fund The Director for the Victory Building Fund, Rev. Olaf Rogne, has announced that the original goal of $250,000 has been reached in cash, 'bonds and pledges—$215,- 000 in cash and $300,000 in pledges. A new objective of $50,000 more or a total of $300,000 is now set. A beginning, on this new object, about $4,000, has already been made. Rev. N. C. Anderson, Director for the Alumni and former stu- dent campaign, has returned from a trip to the West Coast, where he has been contacting Alumni and church members for this cam— paign. Pledges, which are now due, should be paid to the Building Fund Office, Augsburg College and Seminary, Minneapolis. Special Course For Veterans Starts April I Dr. Arthur Nash has announced that Augsburg will enroll between 40—50 feshmen veterans on April 1. Veterans will be permitted to register for the equivalent of a normal college course which will qualify them for all benefits under the G.I. Bill and also permit parti- cipation in all school activities. Special feature of the course is that they will be taught almost exclusively by veterans who have recently returned to the Augsburg faculty from service. Among these instructors are Phillip Kildahl who will teach history, Norman Myr- vik, who will teach English, and Philip Helland who will teach courses in physical education. President Bernhard M. Chris- tensen has also announced that Augsburg is considering holding a special summer session this year to take care of the special needs of the veterans who are swelling the college enrollment. |.R.C.

Sylvia Belle Moe Red Cross Somriiiiies a symbol means more to us than any number of essays oi expositions on a subject So it is with the emblem of the Red Cross. To some of us. a glimpse of the Red Cross brings to mind the blood donor centers of war time. or letters from a prison camp. or railroad station canteens To others it means even more. A doctor glances at me Red Cross and remembers gratefully the hospital aides who came to help him in the time of emergency. A war veteran looks and remem- l‘t’lS eomt'oit in the time of pain. and a soldier needn‘t even look; he cairies it in his ilt‘tll’l. foi to him this emblem has meant life itself.

HOUSEB AND DAUGHTER, MERLE Attend same chm at Augsburg college THE AUGSBURG ECHO And There I Was— By Leslie Nelson To a man of leisure. an early breakfast is nothing more than a feeble gesture of defiance. flung half-hcai‘tedly into the jaws of the dawning day. There can be no physical necessity for a meal taken as distastefully as I took this morning‘s breakfast. How- ever. a cup of coffee can do a per- son a world of good at such a time if good coffee is available. One morning several months ago I noticed that the fellow across the breakfast table from me was con- templating his coffee with an un- believable dcgree of disgust. Thinking it best to get his mind ofl‘ the subject. I glanced toward the window and remarked rather casually. ‘It looks like rain. desn‘t it?“ "Yeah." he replied bit- terly. “But it smells like coffee. and that‘s what fooled me." Then for no apparent reason. he asked my age. Upon discovering that I was several years his senior. he brightened visibly and gave me the coffee. "You better drink it." he quippcd. “it‘s more your age." Coffee is not the only trouble. One Friday night someone asked the waiter if the fish was fresh. The waiter replied that the fish was so fresh it breathed its last breath just as it came in the door. "Yeah." said the quipslcr. “hali- tosi.. ' The criticism was justified. however. The fish was so strong it could haVe walked around the table and said “hello” to the cof- fee. if the coffee hadn't been too weak to answer. Now that we're back on the subject of coffee. I might as well give you the latest information on that beverage. You can take it for what it's worth. I found it in an outdoor magazine—a full page feature. extolling the joys of drinking coffee out-of—doors. A revolutionary type of door, no doubt. Being a conservative, I'm still drinking mine out of cups. This week's feature is Italian Spaghetti. which is a very deli- cious food if it is genuine. but don't accept any substitutes. Sci- ence has recently developed a positive method of determining whether or not the spaghetti you are eating is pure Italian. Now that wartime restrictions have been lifted. it will be just a mat- ter of time before the secrets of spaghetti-testing will be known to all mankind. I strongly sug' gest that you write your congress- man urging rclease of this discov- ery for the benefit of those coun- tries not affected by UNRRA. Here are the details of the meth- od. simplified so that even the unscientific mind can grasp them. You impale a big. slimy. slithery guh of the stuff on your fork, stand up on your chair. and hold the mass at eye level directly over your plate. (At this point people around you may stare, but don‘t let that bother you. They're just a bunch of hicks who have never seen a spaghettrtcstcr before.) Now take careful aim and let the whole mess drop squarely on your plate. If it goes “wop” when it lights. it's pure Italian. O. H.

Well. instead of taking our vacation this summer we took ours this winter. Jackson went to Kansas City to soak up the sun- shine for me. Seems as though something else affected him, though. Couldn’t have been the Hotel States Coffee Shop. What’s. the story on that, Jackson? Do you know some of the su- perstitions the fellows on the bas- ketball team had this past year? “Jeroy” Carlson always insisted on being the last man on the floor. “Red” Lindgren shaved be- fore every game, except St. Thomas. Bob Carlson, .our coach, always wore the same tie. Jack- son wore the same pair of pants to every game, but the St. Thomas game. Good thing the basketball season ended when it did or he would have been left out in the cold. Nelson Brothers Added to Statt Two brothers have been added to the coaching staff here at Augs- burg College. They are Edor and Stanford Nelson. Edor Nelson, who graduated in 1938 from Augsburg, will coach the baseball team. Mr. Nelson has been a captain in the Army five years. He was in a German Pris- on Camp for six months.

EDOB NELSON One of the most pleasant tasks confronting your new sports editor is the fact that he has the opportunity to give credit to individuals who really are deserving. First of all let's take our hats ofl’ to Clair Strom- men. well known Auggie athlete. Ever since enrolling at Augsburg in 1942. Clair has been making headlines for this south side school. We will never forget how he blanked a tough Minnesota nine. and then went on to lead his mates to their first conference title in years. As far as we can see. plenty of trouble is in store for opposing conference sluggch this spring. Welcome Home Edorll Another Auggie star of a few years past has returned to our midst as a coach. It doesn‘t seem so long ago that you too were making quite a name for yourself. We are all looking for- ward to a very interesting baseball season. Well the 1946 basketball season is over and it was a lot of fun. It was one of the brightest seasons in the history of our school. Let's go over some of the Highlights . . The Gusties found themselves in an odd situation prior to their game with Bob Carlson‘s men. By win- ning this game at the Armory they would have found themselves in third place in the MSC standings. but by losing they advanced to second place. In this championship game Jeroy Carlson. unanimous choice for Ali‘state. put on one of the most brilliant individual performances seen on the Armory floor since “Si” Melby’s all-star aggregation in 1927. Carlson not only held a highly regarded “Junior” Skogland to three field goals. but also turned in a superlative floor game. Mr. Skog- land looked very good to this department and we can easily see why Carlson rates this Gusty ace as the best player he has played against this season. Wonder what goes through Mr. Joe Hutton‘s mind when he sees his former Piper ace burn up the conference floors for the college from St. Peter'I? Speaking of Hamline Plenty of rumors are going around the conference in regards to their reinstatement in the Minne- sota State Conference. Our guess is that the Pipers would be more than willing. Of course this is your reporter’s point of view, and much remains to be done and said before such a move could be made pos- sible. Hamline's return to the conference should be beneficial to both the conference and the Piper school. After Augsburg defeated Washburn of Topeka in the opening game of the tournament one of the opposing coaches commented about the “White-Hot" brand of basketball played by the Augs. The only sad phase of this successful season for the Auggies is the fact that our old friend “Si” Melby was missing. We can just picture how proud he would have been of our Champs. Melby coached Augs- burg's last championship basketball team in 1927. Man!!! wouldn't “Si” liked to have seen that St. Thomas game (in St. Paul). the Gustie game here. and the National meet. You can be sure his classes would not have met during the Kansas City Meet . . . "Si"would have been in the front row cheering his favorites on.

Show morePAGE TWO Why I Hate The Liquor Traffic N. N. Running If anyone should hate the liquor traffic, it is I. Before the spiritual awakening came to my communi- ty in the old country, I saw scenes and heard talk, from which a little boy should haVe been spared. The liquor traffic left a slimy trail behind after each Christmas and wedding and even funeral. With at« tendant evils it was the greatest curse which came upon our beautiful Tclemark. I can still hear the loud pounding on the door late one cold night and the frantic cry of a woman who had been driven out of her home by her drunken husband. Three of my best boyhood friends landed in the drun- kards‘ grave; one a celebrated violinist, one a brilliant teacher, one a gifted farmer boy. The other day I met a former Sunday school boy of mine, now a middle-aged man. He told me he had made a mess of life, due to strong drinks. Yes, I have good reasons to hate the liquor traffic. What are we to do about it? I have been wondering if the time is not soon coming when a temperance agi— tation will sweep through the Northwest as it did some decades ago. After the repeal of the prohibition amend- ment, however, some of us have been standing there puzzled, helpless, bewildered, while most church people seem to be indifferent. Of late conditions have become so grave that many people are becoming alarmed. Conditions are very much worse now than they were before the prohibition era. They are mainly concerned with our boys; now we see the havoc of the liquor traffic also among our girls. I do not minimize the influence of the Christian home. the Sunday school, the Luther League, and the church as a whole. We never had a finer lot of young people than today. The time is at hand when Christian men and women nlust take up a Vigorous and persistent fight against the liquor traffic. The first thing to do is to face the facts and forces which counteract, undermine, and tear down what the Christian home and church are doing to build the kingdom of Christ on earth. A thorough survey must be made. This cannot be done by conventions and rallies or passing resolutions. It must be done by a small group of intelligent, earnest, fear— less men and women; done without the flare of trumpets or the waving of flags. Some day, in the not distant future, a new temper- ance movement will sweep through the land, but let us not wait for it. Let us face the ugly facts all around us. Let us talk to a friend or two and together discuss what is the first step to take in our community. The enemies of the liquor traffic ought to express Itheiryaplireciation to Governor Stassehnozf‘Minhnésdta fd‘r proclaiming a Temperance Sunday. If this man placed himself at the head of a temperance movement it would not cost him a second term as governor.‘ Let us, finally, ask ourselves this question: What can I as an individual do to further the cause of temper» ance and how can I best fight the liquor traffic in my own neighborhood and how can I best cooperate with like-minded friends and neighbors? (Condensed) 3 O l Outta Rel/um: “INSIDE ASIA" By John Gunther I must admit that it was with misgiving that I open— ed this book. I suspected that, when Mr. Gunther said Asia, what he really meant was Japan’s war on China) To anyone troubled with misgivings of this kind, I am able to bring glad tidings: China and Japan are given the space that they deserVFno more and no less—and these accounts, as is the case with the rest of the book, are unbelievably fascinating. “Inside Asia” is not just one of those things that in- evitably follow in the wake of sensational headlines; it is an attempt to show the reader the indications of the future of Asia—the fate of an almost ageless culture— it is a revelation. How important, by comparison, were my text books in history in acquainting me with these nations and peo- ples, their social problems, their insufferable health con- ditions, their paralyzing poverty and their constant hope of amelioration. A book that everyone ought to read. A. Nomzncx. NEW BOOKS ADDED TO THE LIBRARY Barry, Fr.——“Scientif‘lc Habit of Thought," 1927. Cardozo, Benjamin N.—“Nature of the Judicial Pro— cess,” 1939.

(Women Pay All). Faint heart ne’er won football hero. Today's Vignette (Pronounced Vin-yet) Pierre Awakes Pierre was in that drowsy mood “nnbiahezlveleped himfiuring the last moments of the transition from sleep to consciousness. He was dream- thinking of spring, that wonderful season which was music itself, aware to the good peasants as early as April. Those blades of winter-browned grass were already becoming light green as a result of glowingly warm days and ever-strengthening sunlight. Soon, the old maison would be sur- rounded once more by a carpet of luxurious green; and in place of the harsh sound of wooden shoes pound- ing over the frozen earth, there would be but the gentle swish of parting grass. All the world would be filled with the pure scent of flowering gardens; and, united there, birds would con— verse through their medium of song, to make man glad he could be a part of spring. Man would realize he had a soul capable of being filled to capa- city with the glory of God’s annual re-creation of nature. And so realiz— ing, the peasants could more cheer- fully meet the added hard labor, de- manded by the arrival of spring. Then there was Fleurette—or la petite Fleur, as she was called, be— cause of her beauty. Pierre stirred slightly as he remembered the times they had shared; the conversation they had enjoyed as they walked along the winding louer between the rows of deep-bending vines filled with choicest grapes. Pierre remembered how the old white-haired priest had blessed them when they had married two summers past; then some months back 19 medicin had blessed the little heir which was to share their strug— gles for existence and happiness. . . Pierre’s dream—thoughts toyed with all the joys which his family and the coming spring would bestow upon him—and how merciful and kind son Ciel had been to him. But then his thoughts drifted to other channels and his lazy peace- fulness was rudely jarred by harsh realities. Wide awake now, Pierre thought of M. Paul Reynard and the new cabinet; the Maginot line; arma- ments; taxes. Then he .

My confidence is in God, whom I serve. A man’s worth consists in his obe- dience to truth. If the Lord has called you to be— come a missionary; do not stoop to become a king. To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, it is sin. It takes strong character to be a witness for righteousness. Material prosperity is far synonymous with happiness. Too much success is bad for many ordinary people. It takes a lot of grace from God to stand continued prosperity. A person who loves God cannot be a passive, useless creature. He must be a doer. Often we are so concerned with service that we forget whom we serve. Don‘t get so busy with activi- tis that you do not find time for God. Christ behind the gun or in the trenches is unthinkable.

For the past two weeks, nine- teen youthful Auggie baseball enthusiasts have been limbering up their arms and sharpening up their batting eyes for the be- ginning of the 1940 baseball season. George Anderson With four returning letter- men, Capt. George Anderson, Gob Mikelson, Vic Miller and Jim Gronseth, already in the fold and two more veterans, Roy Gordon and Abou Helleck- son expected to report imme- diately upon finishing their practice teaching, Coach Cully Swanson has a fair nucleus to build a formidable nine. Outstanding candidates among the freshmen are: Luther Gron- seth, “the rosy-checked and be- spectacled” All-City pitcher from Minneapolis Washburn; Orley Anderson, a curly-headed southpaw pitcher from Granite Falls; Jerrol Fredrickson, a star—port twirler from Wana- mingo; and Stanford Nelson, a burly backstop from Dawson, Other candidates that are try- ing to crash into the line-up are: catchers—Stan Plotz of St. Paul and Joy Ready of Al- ”Bat Busters" on April 23 Varado, Minn.; infielders—Phil Helland of Luverne, Dwight An— derson of Minneapolis, Art Johnson of Pequot and Kenny Jacobson of Sebeka; outfielders —Norman Anderson of Minne- apolis, Marcus Hagert of Star- buck, Tom Valvik of Yonkers, New York, James Bersheid and Kenny Klefsaas, both from Min- neapolis.

The Maroons declined a forfeit and “gave” the Championship St. Thomas College “Neps” their last game and the title. This made it pos- sible to eliminate a “Tavern Team" to which the Maroons were opposed. The newly organized “Bombers”, coached by Vernel Johnson, wound-up in the cellar, but look for a better record next year. In the Senior Division for the city- wide Basketball title the Augsburg Norsemen, composed of varsity mem- bers, won their first round game from the Y.l\I.C.A. Seniors, 46—32, and lost their last game to the City Champions—Jack’s Place—23-29, to finish the season. AUG‘SBURG ECHO Hanschen May Quit Fighting / Star-Journal Johnny Ha nachen / Popular Heavyweight Johnny Hanschen has made a public statement that he will quit the boxing profession along with the bout scheduled for April 19 at the Minneapolis Armory. Johnny quotes the following: “I have considered retiring for some time because the boxing set-up in Minneapolis is such that a fighter cannot make any money here. If I cannot make my living at boxing I want to turn to something else, possibly physical education. So you can say that I’m leaving boxing for some time and likely for good. As for continuing my education at Augsburg I am not sure, but there is a mighty good chance.” Hanschen, who was boxing sensa- tion of Minneapolis and who made up to $250 for one night’s perfor- mance, is coaching boxing here at the present time. Since Johnny has taken over, the sport has gained tre- mendously in popularity on the cani- pus. It is the sentiment of the stu- dents for Mr. Hanschen to continue his education at Augsburg and get off the long, weary and hard road of a young professional boxer.

Alfsen The brave Norwegians took the stand, Against their German foe. They gave their lives to save their land, Their homes in ice and snow. Three-months and twenty days they fought. No Norseman ‘er would yield, Until retreating Germans sought Their stukas for a shield. Although their numbers reckoned few, Their chances still more slight, \Vith pride their country's flag they flew, And carried on the fight. Their ranks grew thinner, yet more thin; Recruiting help was gone. Fond hopes were lost to ever win, Yet still they struggled on. And now that fears of war are gone, Once more again you'll see, The breaking of an early dawn, A world that‘s truly free. Christianity and Communism Communism has been called the most vigorous and lusty religion in the world today. While Christianity has become lukewarm with age, communism has the fire of youth. Where Christianity often rep— resents reaction, communism is no every foreign missionary t afraid of progress and mistakes. For sent into the field by the church. commU' nism has a dozen organizers in every country. While the different do nominations bicker with each other, communism presents a solid front. There must be a good reason munism. Two Sundays ago a Catholic, for this apparent success of corn, Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen, in his radio broadcast gave what seems the most logical reason. So' ciety today applauds the broader minded man. The idea is to not be' lieve anything too strongly so as to appear foolish. In his desire to bc open'minded about all things, man seems to have lost the faculty to have firm convictions. He just doesn‘t make up his mind. The fervor and zeal of men like the disciples, St. Francis of Assisi, and Martin Luther is extremely rare. Christianity has become a topic of conversa' tion instead of a conviction to live by or, if necessary, die for. Now what has communism done.7 In a country where Christianity had left a lukewarm and insipid void. communism offered a new, dyna» mic ideology. The communists merely gave the Russians something to believe in, firmly, passionately. Hitler did the same thing. Instead of part time Christianity, the Russians substituted full time communism. 'And they are attempting, to do the same thing here. However, the burning zeal of communists doesn‘t mean that Chris' tianity is doomed. An athiest would look pretty silly if there actually were no God to disbelieve in. So the communists, if there actually They've got a way with the babies . Moorhead.

The very energy those people are exerting in opposition to Christianity proves that Christ is a power in the world today. Communism will not be overcome by fighting a war. It can‘t be beaten by hating what it stands for. It is important that we show up communism practically, by proving that we are willing to feed, and help those peoples and countries that need it so desperately. But even more important that that, we must learn from the communists what they learned earlier from Christ. We must begin showing the fire of early Christians. We must show the world and all men that here is something to plunge into, head first, something to fight for. Whether we like it or not, every man is looking for that. If we as Christians don‘t otfer it to them. the communists will: tianity has become stagnant that communism It is only where Chris' succeeds. In a world where Christianity is a vital and living force, there will be no excuse for communism. There is the simple, the obvious, and by far the most dificult answer to communism—Editor.

DIAL 1947 Spring ls Cum, The Graz ls Riz In the spring, a young man‘s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of what a woman has been thinking about all wmtcr. This is the kind of weather that brings out the soft, the poetic, the tender thoughts of man. The days are warm and sunny, and the evenings are balmy and cool. Now, instead of sitting in dormitories and in the library, we go for walks around campus, across Franklin Avenue bridge, and through Riverside Park. We think no longer of chemistry equations, psychology notes, or history term papers. In- stead, our aesthetic sense is tuned along the lines of crocuses, pussy willows, new grass, and budding trees. We scorn our heavy coats and woolly mittens. We wear jackets and sweaters, cotton dresses and new saddle shoes. There is a change, too, in our manner ofQ speaking to one am other. Our voices are softly mot dulated, our conversations remi- niscent of the days when we play! ed with jacks and marbles. Yes, spring has come to the Augsburg campus. What a pity that mid'semester exams should come between us and a keen en- joyment of it! ‘JOTHNGS Spring is really here, as evil denced by the arrival of balmy weather, melting snow, and the dreamy look in Paul Arnold‘s eye. Miss Paulson has treated several patients for spring fever. Easter vacation is now past, so I interviewed several students to find out what they did during the holiday. Elaine Nelson ate eggs. June Carlson slept until noon every day and took a nap every afternoon. Olaf Ronning studied Psychology —most of the time. Wayne Stu- tlcberg just looked at me when I asked him. He thought I should know what he did. While reading the Reader‘s Dir gest the other day I found a cute fairy tale that I will print here for the benefit of those who haven't read the April iswe. In the happy days when there was no haircity of scam and when pork nicks were a chopple apiece, there lived an old puther mig and her sea throns. Whatever happen' ed to the migs‘ old pan is still miswhat of a summary. Well, one year the acorn fop crailed, and Old Paidy Lig had one teck of a hime yunging her feedsters. There was a swirth of dill, too, as garble weren't putting much fancy stuff into their peopage. As a result, the re! luctantly bold her toys they'd have to go out and fuck their own sorchuna. So, amid towing BYJONNYl fleets and sevvy hobs, each gave his huther a big mug and the pea thrigs set out on their weperate saize. Let‘s follow Turlyvkale, the purst little fig, shall we? He hadn‘t fawn very gar when he enmannered a nice-looking count, carrying a strundle of yellow baw. “Meeze, Mr. Plan," ped the sig, "will you give me that haw to build me a staus?“ Numb serve, believe me. The man was juga hearted Bo, though, and billing- ly gave him the wundle, with which the pittle lig cott himself a pretty biltage. No former was the house sin! ished than who should dock on the front nore than a wemhle toolf! “Pittle lig, pittIe lig!" he said, in a faked venner toyce. "May I come in and he: your sitty proam?" “Thea, thoa, a nowzand times thoa!" replied the crig, "not by the chair of my hinn‘hin-hin!“ So the wolf said, “Then I'll bluff and I‘ll duff and I‘ll hoe your blouse pawn!" And with that, he chutfed up his peeks, blew the smith to houaareens, sat down to a dine finner of roast sow and pigga- knut. What a pignominious end for such a peet little swig! Someone has defined impossible as what nobody can do but what somebody does. Show less

Coach Nelson is putting the boys through regular run» ning and throwing drills to get the kinks out of their muscles and giv' ing them limited fielding and hunting practice until the weather warms up enough to shift practice outdoors. Outstanding new players to come out so far inclure Art Rholl and Charles Bard, both second baseman; Frand Aria, third baseman; Bob Howells, outfielder and Roger Leak, a catcher. The pitching stafi is limited with Red Brennan, Harvey Holman and Arnie Henjum the best prospects at present The schedule is not complete and the game with the University of Minnesota is tentative as yet. Nelson is trying to arrange the game as “On to Nicollet“ night, for colleges. high schools, etc. from the twin cities. Students are urged to watch for further developments concern' ing this game. The St. Thomas baseball schedule was recently announced and in: cluded a game with Notre Dame University at South Bend, Indiana. Baseball is one of the few sports where a small college can hold its own against the larger colleges and universities and since it adds color to the schedule to book a game with a larger institution we think it a good move on the part of the oficials of the smaller school. Last year the Gophers eked out a 1'0 Win in their game with the Auggies and the previous season the game ended in a tie so it is with anxiety that we await further developments on this game. Basket The class basketball tournament started this week and will continue until after Easter. And the faculty will play the winners of the tour: ney. Members of the faculty are Waiting for an opportunity to play the younger but less experienced basketballers for a little practice before challenging the class champions. So if anyone cares to get up a team for a little game, they can likely find the faculty team eager for a workout. It hasn‘t been announced who will make up the roster for the faculty, but they will have a team and will be out there with a lot of steam (at least for a half) and with intentions of knocking off the class champion. ‘ Augsburg Keglers Trip Hamlin: Turn The Augsburg bewling (“m kept up its winning ways by de' {eating Hamlin: for its second I“ m ,3: we win over the Pipers this year.

Does the Merry Month of May find you compelled to squeeze that nickcl ‘til the Indian hollers, when you should be like Spring, hcrself. a living symbol of bencficence spreading gifts of life and loveliness with lavish hand? Well, even if you aren‘t a nickel nurscr you may still want to be one of those three fortunate Auggies who will walk out of the chapel Monday evening, May 5, with checks for $10, $15. or $15, a good deal of honor, and better undcrstanding of Augsburg, her history and ideals. All that you have to do is to register for the oratorical prizc can! test sponsored by Augsburg's Greater Alumni Association, prepare, and then deliver one of the three best speeches on a topic related to Augsburg, her history, ideals, or present program of Christian educa' tron. You must register on or before April 5, with Miss Anderson or Mr. Lchvre of the speech department, or with Mr. N. C. Anderson in the Alumni office. Manuscripts are to be readied for final acceptance by April 24. That will leave you approximately ten days to polish up on the delivery. Your opportunity to win some honor for yourself and replenish that sagging bank balance is made possible through the gift of an Alum- nus of the class of 1913. He prefers to remain anonymous, but in his mind is a noble purpose—vto stimulate you, and all who wrll hear you, to a renewed appreciation of the ideals for which Augsburg stands. You will find some reading material for a background for your speech on reserve in the library. A complete set of rules is posted on the Bulletin Board. The field is wide open. Which price do you want? Or are you going to go on worrying about that ornery budget, and thus keep on spoiling the sweet savor of this glorious Springtime? Therein to Be Content “Not that I speak in respect of want: for l have learned, in what' soever state I am, therein to be content.“ Phil. MIL This beautiful passage, written while Paul was in prison, can set! tle countless problems for us. If we could learn to live according m: to the truth contained in that statement, our daily living would be much happier. God has given us so much; why need we worry about what we haven‘t got.7 The startling beauty of nature, one of God's greatest gifts to man, is unappreciated because we worry and fret about someone else's good fortune. We give no thought to the kind, thoughtful people in the world when one individual makes a statement that hurts our pride. it is so easy to erase from our memory the bene- fits we have when we discover one thing missing that we feel Will make us happier. We become disgruntled when we see a flaw in a personality, but we are not equally overjoyed when we find a good quality in someone else. Show less

THE AUGSBURG ECHO The Anguish of Doubt Tonight, as I face the blinding storm. My heart has no wings to fly From the clutching earth and the groaning limbs, In the tev‘rish wind's wild cry. Where is the peace—the rest I knew? Where is the soothing patter of rain? Where is the heart so brave and true, That laughs though the body reeks with pain? Pray. Father, where is Thy heal, ing hand? Where is this door that shuts me out.7 Show me the sunshine of Thy Love. Shine through the clouds of fear and doubt. Lift me up from my palsied bed Father. have mercy now on me E'en tho‘ it bleeds a crimson red. Take my heart. crush it unto Thee. Then, as I wept there, bled, and led; Into my soul a new life flowed- The life of Him I had denied The love of God. and His light glowed.

PRESIDENT SERVES ON MAYOR‘S COUNCIL Dr. Bernhard Christensen, PreS' ident of Augsburg College. was reocntly elected to serve as chair man of Mayor Humphrey‘s Counr cil on Human Relations at the second annual meeting of the Council on March 29 which was held at Coflman Memorial. The Council is composed of 400 men and women representing the Caucasian, Negro, and Mon— golian races, and the Christian, Jewish, and other faiths. Their objective is to abolish race pre' judice and improve human rela» tions. Reports given at the meet— ing on progress made thus far showed that 75 firms which never before employed members of minority groups now are employ— ing them. Campus Cleanup Day Is Slated for April 17 Campus Cleanup day will be held Saturday, April 17. Otherwise known as Operation 0CD (C'mon Cleanup the Cam— pus), all the Fort Augsburg cadets and cadettes will drop their pen» cils and books to become the other end of a mop, rake, wash' rag, or some other vehicle of tidi— ness. “Fatiguc“ clothes are in or' der for the day. To wind up the orders of the day will be a Hobo Party for the whole school. Plans are to have this at Riverside Park (normally 0!! limits for Auggies) and it'll probably be a weincr roast. Aristotelians Give New Bulletin Board A new bulletin board which contains items of science progress has been donated to Augsburg by the Aristotelian society, and now hangs in Main hall. From time to time, outstanding advance— ments in the field of science will be posted for the benefit of all students interested. On March 3, the Aristotelian: held their regular meeting at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Nash. Mr. Hovde from the weather bureau gave a lecture on the contributions made by the weather bureau to citizens. Ree freshments were served by Mrs. Nash, including a recent discov' ery in scientific cooking, the new Mazola cake. LEAGUE HOLDS YOUTH SERVICE The Augsburg Luther League. together with the Twin City Free Church Luther Leagues. held a youth service at Trinity Lutheran Church on Sunday, April 4. Highlighting the program was a discussion on ~’What About Bap! tism?“ with Rev. Leland Steen. Rev. Erling Tungseth, Rev. M. J. Olsen, and Rev. Merton Strom‘ men as discussion leaders. The Luther League Convention slides taken at Medicine Lake were shown. A short singspiration was held and special music on the pro gram included selections by the Augsburg “Ambassadors” quar' tette. Ulzurdday, grialag Rev, Kristian Tromborg. miS' sionary to Santalistan, was spe' cial chapel speaker on Wednesr day. Thursday, and Friday of last week. He also was guest speaker at the mid’week service on Thurs day night and was available to the students during the week for counselling. Some of the highlights of his sermons were on the subjects of sin, Christian living, and the act ceptance of God‘s invitation of salvation. Rev. Tromborg cm! phas'zed that even such a great nation as the United States was possibly going down in sin as evi' denced in one respect by the growing divorce rate. He thought that if Jesus Christ were to give a sermon today he would speak on the subject of sin, In speaking of dedicated Chris' tian life, Rev. Tromborg said that it is tremendously important to start early in the living of a Chris tian life. When first becoming a Christian one must first of all get into the school of training in Jesus Christ who offers at grad- uation perfection, he said. “It costs something to be a Christian, but God will reward the Chris' tian richly," he said in speaking of the acceptance of Christ as one‘s personal Savior. Rev. Trom' borg furthermore urged students to let Christ into their hearts and settle their big problems in life. Tromborg Addresses Mission Society India was the subject of a talk by Rev. Kristian Tromborg. mis' sionary to the Santals, at a meet! ing of the Mission socxety last Friday evening. Two songs by Wallace Pratt. 'Albin Haugen, Bob Carlson, and Clairold Hoifjeld, “Seeking the Lost“ and “Love Divine. All Love Excelling", and two films con' cluded the program, Harold Schaelier led in Scrip- ture reading and prayer. Followv ing the meeting a social hour was held in the dining hall.

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal hodim by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Rom. 8:11). Professing Christian, are you rejoicing in the Lord? Are you vic' tor‘ious, or are you spiritually weak and flaccid.7 If so, no doubt you have allowed yourself to grow cold and indifferent by letting other things have first place and refusing to let the Holy Spirit have his way so that he was forced out and could not ‘fill you with life and joy. Everything has gone from bad to worse and you have been this! erable because of a guilty conscience which reminds you of your con' dition which is serious, so serious that you should give yourself no rest until you have confessed your sin and given God everything. It is impossible for man to live a victorious Christian life without being filled with the Holy Spirit because he cannot be a Christian in his own strength. Without the Spirit he lacks vigor and strength and is an easy prey for Satan who takes over in such a subtle way that he is unaware of the peril. It is just as essential that a Christian be filled with thc Spirit as it is that an electric light bulb be supplied with electricity. Therefore let us be alert and obedient, letting the Holy. Spirit come in to have full dominion that we may be filled with power and move forward accomplishing great things for our Lord and Master. God has promised to give us His Spirit. so if we lack we may be Sure that we are to blame. Think of the tremendous things that Spirit'filled Chris! tians have done and can still do. Such things are not to be considered history. for God‘s promise is still as good as ever. Let us consecrate Dursclvcs daily. being diligent and faithful, for that is the only way to be a victorious and happy Christian. Otto Sotnak. Maude P0514 Ah, spring! The light hearoof Augsburg fellows and co'eds turn to thoughts of elections and voting. As is customary, the Echo will continue its policy of endorsing candidates for various offices. After several hours of dcbatc. we find that the consensus is that Don Blom would be idcal for AWS president. He has curly hair, beautiful white tceth, and holds a major in Business Administration. Furthermore, Jim Bucide is his roommate. The second office to be considered is that of WAA president. Under iiiably. an cxccllcnt person to take over this oflice is John Shelstad. He has bccn a loyal Auggie for three years and deserves a just reward for serving on the Echo staff. He has an attractive tweed coat. Next, we feel that Joyce Bottcn would qualify for the job of "A" Club president. She has amazingly tiny feet, and her smile is enchant' ing. Besides. she‘s from the West Coast. The last Ofllcc we shall consider is the one of captain of the base kctball team. Our choice is Marian Shaleen, who although she doesn't play basketball, has an engaging personality, and she certainly has a beautiful assortment of silk scarves. Ame-u to to 5m To the Editor: Why a society for men? Neither in your articlc, “\Vhy Not A Society For Men?“, not at the meeting of the men students, to which you referred, were any reasons given for the organ ation of a men‘s society. Yet, when we vorcd against it, you contended that we acted “like children" who “have not yet attained the mature outlook on life." In any debate, it is the job of the aflirmative to prove not only that their advocated plan is needed; but 1 ‘0 that such a plan would be sound, prac cal. workable, and bcnc cial in meeting the suggested nct‘d. Unless these points are established. any competent or intelligent judge would be forced to declare the n _ tive team as the winner. I am convinced that under the circumstances we acted more like in' telligcnt jud . than “like children." in voting against the forming of a men's s cty. If there are any arguments in favor of a society, they certainly were not brought up .it the meeting. Why? Evidently there are none, since cvcn in your article you stated, “It is true that a definite purpose for such an organization has not yet been decided.n How. then, could you expect intelligent college students to vote for the organization? Let‘s wait until \\'C h' ‘e some specific ideas as to the aims. objec- purposcs, and functions of a proposed men’s society; then, if we feel that such a society "could benefit the men much more than the Student Council." as you scam to think it could. let's give it our unanimous approval and support. But, until the need arises,_let‘s not try to fool ourselves in thinking that the mere organization at another society—a men‘s society will be of any benefit either to the men, or to the Student Society as a whole. An organization which d15- integrates because of apathy of the members does more towagd the lowering of student morals and school spirit, than no organization at all. Let's not take the chance, unless we have some reason to be- licw that our organization might succeed. Orvflle Olson’. . (Connnued on page 4) ..Elu¢r Knnrdalil .Alan Murdock , .N. C.

The reason for this was not a lack of things to say or an unhappy state of mind on the part of the singers. Rather, theif faces were beaming and a little smug. The vice'president of the Fan: ny Farmer Candy Company was so inspired by the Choral Club's singing at a businessman‘s meet! ing in the Leamington Hotel that he sent a box of candy to every member of the group. Speech was made dillicult by the assortment of caramels and creams being de‘ vourecl during the day. By G. I. Skuttlebun Has the war changed your your tional goal? How do you "stack up" \Vltl’i the average G»17 In a recent na— rionWide survey. the general belief that war zxpcnznces have altered the vo’ cational plans and ambitions of the great majority of veterans was dis— counted. More than half (51 per cent) of the veterans now enrolled in the nations colleges and universities are preparing for the same vocations they planned to enter before donning uni' forms. Only 35 per cent. the survey shows, have changed their plans, while 14 per cent had not chosen their voea’ tions prior to service in the armed forces. The greatest change in vocal tional aims was among the disabled veterans. Of the 35 per Cent who have changed their plans one-fourth indicated a "change of interest," 17 per cen “morz opportunity in second choice," 13 per cent "more apptitude for second choice," 4 per cent “went for the bigger money," and 4 per cent decided it took “too long to prepare for first choice." One»tenth of the students said they had tried their on" ginal choice and didn't like it. Only I per cent of those who changed said they found preparing for the first choice “too tough." The last statement should create a little incen' me for a few of us. ‘ ts: Something new has been added in the way of education of vets abroad. Though the number of veterans study ing under the GI Bill has increased from 6,000 to 6,500 an additional 167 veterans living abroad are taking cor: rtspondence courses from United States schools. Kinda makes me think our educational system can‘t be so bad after all, or is it a sign of homeslck' ness?

W am “And another redan bit the dust" Then soft music, increasing in volume with a dramatic clash of cymbals and then, . . ._sflence. The smooth voice of the an‘ nounczr continued after a short pause, ' red'blooded new discovery in hair tonics, “For- tunate Lion." Station identification, 3 short weather forecast, and more nor sic, this time somefhing that re sembled very closely the rumbling of a streetcar over Washington Avenue bridge and this time a sweet feminine voice telling her radio audience how they, too. could lose ugly fat the easy way, in no time" at all, by devouring ravenoust two boxes of delicious c a n d y, “Posilutely Nottings" which could be purchased at al’ most any hardware store. ’ Musil again, and then the tear— compelling story of "The Inside Story of John's Other Backstage Wife‘s Big‘ Sister.“ Clambelle, a beautiful but fiftyryear old model, falls in love with the janitor of a large rooming house of forty'sec' and avenue only to discover that he has been married for seven- teen years to’ her childhood friend, which we don't discover until several years of listening. The third program is sponsored by the Ustinck Manufacturing Company, reliable producers of ~ the enchanting “Essence of South St. Paul," guaranteed to am the most hard—target cattle man. The program jmelf is a char oug‘h fifteen-minute count in beauty culture. “Yes, you. too. can be beauti- ful.

Oh, yes, don't forget to include twelve empty bottles of our wonder—workin perfume.“ After another station identifia- tion, a dramatic tenor voice gives a rapid summary of the latest news developments and swing. into a succession of sure-fire pm. dictions. “I predict—that next year all Pepsi'cola will be pur- chased in bottles. I prediet~—that in the year 1952 fifty per cent of all married couples will be may en." What amazing deductions! Fiddlesticks. This program isn't any good. It‘s some symphony or other. .

Dick Silverstein, Robert Odegard, and Bill Kuross, state high school doubles champion and several other promising net'men. However, it has been rumored around that because of several rc' turning lettermen from the championship outfit of last year, there won‘t be a chance for com' petition for many newcomers and several tennis men who would probably make the grade have de cided not to turn out. The fact is that the team desires and needs more candidates and anyone in, terested is invited to try out for the squad but they had better hurry if they intend to be ready for the firm meet with Hamline University April 15.

Bud Olson is signed to catch for St. Michael, Minn. Dave Dillon will catch for Maple Lake and Roger Leak is signed with the St, Louis Cardinals and will go east to play when school 15 out. Arnie Henjum and Al Cupka as well as several others are considering offers from teams around the state and most of the squad, including Coach Nelson, will likely be signed by the time school is out. The fancy salaries paid to amateur players brings to our mind the story of one player, pitching star of the U. of Minnesota team two or three seasons back, who signed with a team in southern Minnesota last summer. He received as a bonus for signing, a new car, After a couple of games he suddenly disappeared and turned,up in California where he sold the car and took a good job. This spring he signed with a team in the Pacific Coast League but this Minnesota town held his amateur contract and reported they were going to prevent him from playing pro ball. .However, in our opinion an amateur con! tract is good for only one season so that is one team which lost a car in its eagerness to sign a college star. Chances are there are several players that lose money signing to some small towns also as there is no salary listed on an amateur contract and is usually only a verbal agreement between team and player.

Block rm. amp... 2205 Riverside THE AUGSBURG ECHO 4m tomcat...» To the Editor: I have received comments both good and bad in regard to my article. “Why Not a Sodety for Men?" I've noticed with slight unuse— ment that when asked, “Were you at the last men's meeting?" a great many of those who argued against said article anwercd “No!” No more needs to be said. Nevertheless these men (few though they be) have asked me just what I thought the purpose of a men's organization would be. Here are a few of many things the men‘s organization could do: In the first place, activities and meetings of a men‘s society would enable the men to get to know one another much better. Secondly, when a question or problem arises. either pertaining to the entire school or to the men only, this society will enable the men to give their opinion as a unified body. Don't tell me there are no problems. The men are always griping about something. (You can slap one bee around. but a wasps~ nestithat‘s a different story!) Also the social life would be improved for the men students. The women have fine programs and banquets. Why not the men? Or have many of them gotten to the stage where they can‘t have a good time amongst themselves? Therefore this organization would offer (1) a chance for the men to become better acquainted, (2) an outlet for the men‘s opinion on various problems, and (3) a definite improvement on the social life of the men students. No already—established organization can make that statement! Clan-old Hoifjeld. * 1F 8 To the Editor: Congratulations to the stall on the "new look" of the Echo. The editorials put new life into the whole paper. Personally, I'd like to see the minority opinion of the Republican Club kept off the front page.
