Augsburg has trained men and w walks of life, but the work of Rolf omen for positions in all Harbo is unique in character from that of any of her alumni, for he is head of the Division of Criminal Statistics, the Department of Justice, Washington, D. G. Mr. Harbo was born in Duluth on March 5, 1902. He was graduated from Augsburg Academy and entered the college de— partment in the year 1918 at the age of sixteen. While at school he was very active in band work and toured with the band for several years, playing the comet. He was also very interested in basketball activities. He was‘ graduated in 1922 with a B. A. degree. A few years later he obtained his Master's degree at the University of Minnesota. After acting as Superintendent of Schools at Bufi’alo, North Da- kota. for seven years, he en- tered the University of Minne- sota Law School. Following his completion of the law course, he passed an examination to the De- partment of Justice. He has been with the F. B. I. since 1932. The division with which Mr. Har- bo is departmental head deals with criminal statistics, including the pho- tographs and fingerprints of crimi- nals from the entire United States. Complete information of each indi- vidual is recorded and filed. Mr. Harbo is on call for the department twenty-four hours a day. It is said that Edgar Hoover knows exactly where any of his agents are at any hour of the day or night. Because the work of the F. 8.1. is comparatively new, several of the agents devote a greater part of their time to the promoting of interest in the department. Mr. Harbo has tra- velled constantly during the past three years into every state, fam- iliarizing the public with the bureau Clus Christmas Parties (Continued from page 1) tainment. Following the scavanger hunt the program and refreshments will be held in the Dining Hall. Dur- ing the social hour 10c gifts are to be exchanged by the Class. Thursday evening, December 14th, the Frosh are planning a Christmas party to be held in the gym. The program chairman is Harriet John- son, social chairman, Cleone Bolstad. Margie Jensen is in charge of re- freshments, and Carl Carlson is the clean-up chairman. Jerry’ Cafe “Where Allugics Eat Out" Always Open Steak, Chicken, Ice Cream 2402 RIVERSIDE AVE.

The F.B.I. has in its employ members from every profession, but the greater number of them are lawyers such as Mr. Harbo. The agents must pass rigid examinations for entrance and aside from being educationally trained, they must be in perfect physical con- dition. In order to keep fit, regularI gymnasium work is required. As for future plans—Mr. Harbo has always cherished the idea of a private law practice, but because he enjoys his work with Uncle Sam's F. 8.1., he doubts that this plan will materialize for some time. Aristotelian: See Jupiter At Christmas Party At a special meeting on Monday evening, December 4, the Aristotelian Club held its annual Christmas Party. The meeting consisted of two fear tures. A trip to the University, which included a visit to the astron- omy building, and later a party at the Augsburg dining hall. An as- sistant of the astronomy department at the University lectured to the group on the kinds of telescopes before tak- ing them to the observatory and per mitting them to observe Jupiter and Saturn. The party was supposed to initiate the freshmen members into the club as they had never been oflicially re» ceived. Their initiation consisted of drinking coffee from small 50 ml. beakers and eating ice cream with small spatulas.

AUGSBURG COLLEGE, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., DECEMBER 14, 1939 Ermisch Edits Commentaries on Epistles of Paul Dr. Ermisch, when celebrating the 35th anniversary of his ordination five years ago was asked by a friend if he had any theological ambitions outside from routine teaching. In answer to this question he made known his intentions of submitting a set of commentaries on the New Tes- tament. After eleven years of research, Dr. Ermiseh has come to the first mile- stone of this achievement by complet- ing a new set of commentaries on the Epistles of Paul. Dr, Ermisch has something in com- mon with the Norwegian theologian, J. V. Odland, in that both have based their ennotatiuns and explanations on a German commentary by Zahn. Mr. Ermisch asserts that it is un- fortunate that Zahn’s commentary is not translated into the English lan- guage, for it is probably the best set in the world. Dr. Ermiach Concerning his own achievement. Prof. Ermisch said, “The more I work on this commentary the more I see a need for a simplified popular explanation of the Pauline Epistles, as they are not easily understood." Dr. Ermisch is the author of two other books; one entitled “Medita- tions for Mother," and another. “Predestination.” He intends to continue his work on the commentaries by including one on the Psalms together with the remain- ing books of the New Testament. “Then, when this task is ended," Dr. Ermisch said, “I will close my eyes and smile." St. Cloud Lures Aug Debaters For Tourney Dec. 15 Two teams of Augsburg debaters will participate in the annual con- test of the Minnesota Forensics Un» ion at St. Cloud on December 15 and 16. The topic for discussion is the isolation question. Everald Strom and Orloue Gissel~ quist will support the affirmative. while Kermit Larson and Lucius Heusser will uphold the negative side. The debate is a contest in which a decision will be rendered, and in ad- dition to awards for winning teams, individual honors will be presented for speaking ability. The St. Cloud debate is the fii'sl decision contest for the Auggie teams this season, and each team will DO given the opportunity to debate five times in the tournament. Each mem- ber will be allowed ten minutes in which to present his case, and also 2| five minute rebuttal. Participants in the contest will come largely from colleges within the state of Minnesota. Augsburg debaters engaged North- land College from Ashland, Wis., last Tuesday evening here at school. Dagny Forsakes Books For Home on the Range Dagny Sageng “ball and chained" John Ehlers from Elbow Lake, Min- nesota, last Thursday night. Dr. Claus Morgan married the couple at his parsonage in Minneapolis. This was no case of love at first sight, in fact it took most of a month. Dagny met John last April on——of all things—a blind date, but then love is proverbially blind. Fate dic- tated the meeting, and fate continued to rule. Engagement came in May. Finally, fate slipped the halter on John’s neck on Thursday, Dec. 7. A campus wag remarked, “That's put- ting the ‘heart before the course'." The newly-weds will live on Mr. Ehler’s “country estate" near Elbow Lake, Minnesota. In her ecstacy Dagny remarked to her girl friends, “I've never made a cake, but I'll send my first attempt to you West Hall girls." Dagny's father is a representative in the Minnesota legislature and is a member of the Augsburg Board of Trustees. Hash Remains Thanksgiving vacation has come and gone, leaving behind it pleasant memories to be enjoyed on the long winter evenings that lie ahead. Even if our time was occupied by just eating and sleeping, still the tempt- ing aroma of the Thanksgiving di - ner. on the sublime satisfaction de- rived from lying abed until noon will linger in our memories and come back to haunt us again and again. But then, no matter how our time was spent, Turkey Day, 1939, is now just a memory and the students of Angs« burg are back at work.

In those forty days we meditate on the meaning of the Cross. But for Christmas we give little or no spiritual preparation. We often be— come so busy in buying and wrapping gifts, sending cards, and other things that we find less time than ever to sit at Jesus feet with His Word. We are REV. E. .I. CONRAD reminded in the Gospels that before Je- sus was introduced as the Saviour of men. there “as much preparation for His coming. John's ministry stirred all of Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and Gali- lee. People came repentant, confessing their sins. John spoke of judgment, righteousness. and holiness. He con- demned self-righteousness, hypocrisy, and indifference. Truly the people had been prepared to behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. They now felt the need of the great Sin Bearer, Jesus Christ. It would be well if we would let John’s message speak to us as we pre- pare for Christnuzs. Repentance, true heart repentance, is the best prepara» tion for Christmas. How blessed Christ- mas morning would be if every one that came to God’s house would come with repentant and broken hearts seeking the Christ who came to save sinners. Repentance will take place if we mir» ror ourselves in God’s Word. Then we will see the spots and blemishes in our thoughts, imaginations, and heart life. Let us pray as we view ourselves in the light of God‘s Word, "Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts, and see if there be (my wicked 11va within me." Surely, it would be well if we would “watch a. while away" every day in this rush season to meditate much upon the Word of God. It is said of Mary that after she heard the story of the Shep- herds concerning the Christ Child that she “kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart." She must have given much time to meditation and serious contemplation on the meaning of the Christmas story. Christmas will truly be joyous and blessed if we, like Mary, will ponder and meditate on the most glorious theme on earth, “God so hired the world that He gore His only begotten SON that whosoever be— Iiel'eth on Him should not perish but have ererlastillg life." EVALD J. CONRAD. Who Is This Mam-Conrad ? Rev. E. J. Conrad was graduated from Gustavus Adolphus in 1923. Foui- years of postgraduate “ork included study at the Lu. theran Bible In. um and the Luther and Augustana seminal-ms.

In a recent chapel talk our president dev nounced gambling as anti-Christian. We take Emphasis Week. To men only, up that battle cry and denounce gambling, not only as anti—Christian but also as anti-practical. We claim it‘s hard on the pocket-book as well as the morals and we have facts to prove it. If you gamble you're a sucker, because the odds against you are too great. Statistics show that the gambler has his best chance at roulette, and there the odds are 22-1 against him. And in the popular racket—the Irish Sweepstakes— i’t‘s 7,500,998—1. But let’s look at the facts on rackets closer to Augsburg. The football jack-pots only cost ten cents a chance, but the odds against you are 99-1. Not only that; the proprietor running this device usually sets aside a block of chances for him- self. Losses come out of his own pocket some times, but he often wins. And his profits come from the dimes suckers give him. Punch boards are a tremendous source of profit to the proprietor. Some of the larger boards take in as much as $250 and pay out only $100, in minute prizes. The smaller boards, seen in our vicinity take in about $59 and give out only about $11. And the lowest odds against suckers who play them are about 185-10. “Fourteen” has very favorable odds Mitward- ly—only 11-10. But those high odds are with the gambler only if he happens to be lucky enough to be winning. And the longer he plays the game, the higher the odds are against him. Nor does the propritor lose; he makes sixty per cent profit in trade. So don’t be a sucker; don‘t gamble. VVlth Santa Claus pecking around the corner, no doubt you have been pondering what you should give your current co-ed.

Handkerchiefs are out because she most likely will get a box of them from cousin Bertha or aunt Susie. A manicuring set is just brooding trouble for she will take it as a hint that you think her hands are not well-groomed. Slippers are too diflicult to select. If you get the serviceable ones, they aren’t an exciting gift; if you get the foolish-looking ones, she can never use them. Bath salts are nice only most peo- ple take showers nowadays. Books are lovely gifts if you don’t give her one by an author she abhores or a book that she already has two copies of. Your picture is too daring a gift, for if it flatters you, she will think you're conceited; if it doesn‘t, she won't want it anyway. You might give her soap, but most likely she is allergic to the odor of pine. Sache is nice, only most gentlemen don't know what it is or how to say it, so they can’t very well buy it. It is quite safe not to consider a watch as she probably has one. Subscription to some monthly mag- azine would certainly keep you in her mind; however, you might want to avoid this later. Now that I have discouraged any gift. ideas you might have had, you are left with only one alternative, and that is to have a good quarrel so you won't have to give her any- thing. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1939 Do You Scorn The Dark Race? That Europe is not the only place where mi- nority problems are acute was pointed out in a direct and dynamic way by Robert Belton in our last convocation hour. We think that reconstruction has come de- cades too late for the American Negro, due to white egotism and selfishness. How can our na- tional life escape unimpaired when it ignores 15,000,000 of its citizens. America—the land that lauds the Christ of love—allows the Negro share-Cropper to die by inches. America—that boasts of its equality—makes some men ride in freight elevators and refuses to let Marion An- derson sing in Constitutional Hall because her skin is black. America—that extols its enlight- enment and claims to be in advance of the times; that scoffs at Hitler’s race ideas—continues to maltreat and oppress almost an eighth of its people. Looking at the problem from a selfish point- of-view alone, America cannot disregard or evade the issue any longer. The colored ele- ments have been comparatively silent in the past, thanks to our iniquitous policy of subjega- tion; but this is true no longer. The dark race has found its voice and shortly it may find its arm. It has capable leaders who have raised their voices—they are pleading now; they may well incite to violence in the near future. But how can Augsburg students aid in avert- ing the impending disaster? Keep an open mind. Refuse to believe the fantastic stories about “Coons” that are so widely accepted as impreg- nable truth. Support all efforts to build up the position of the Negro race in our national life. Show genuine sympathy for our compatriots and put in a good word for them at stores, ho- tels, and other places where you suspect they may be discrimminated against. Remember that more than likely the Negroes’ ancestors were in America when your grandfather was fishing in the fjords of the old country. These New Books Demand Your Attention “A Faithful Guide To Peace With God," by C. 0. R0- senius is a book well worth reading. It is written in daily devotional form. The great Swedish writer, C. 0. Rosenius, is known for his strong emphasis on the Gospel message as dis- tinguished from the law. He knows the human heart as few men have known it. These daily meditations, arranged from his writings, give a complete Scriptural answer to the important question: How can a person find a safe and faithful guide to pence with God! The book provides daily instruction in the faith that saves and devotional reading for a period of two months. It is designed to give faltering souls and troubled hearts definite assurance of peace with God. . s is Our library has recently acquired some new books worth your reading. The Echo stafi‘ takes this oppor- tunity to list a few of them, for your convenience. “Letters From a Hard-Boiled Teacher To His Half» Baked Son”iby G. F. Miller, “Still More Toasts"—by H. M.

They still have the high and mighty Sheimo, who could easily qualify as a basketball team alone. The 0125 will be strong contenders for the title.

Granlund of Calvary Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, has been the speaker of the Mid Week Services, He is giving a series of talks on the topic “Our Faith," stressing five phases of this subject. Each Wed- nesday evening he deals with one of these phases. Rev. Granlund states that he com-' pare: each phase of this topic to a mountain. In the first service, he spoke on “The Will of God," stress- ing the ten commandments. “This,” he said, “is Mount Sinai." He spoke of our relation to these command- ments, how that they show us where we fall short and then drive us to Christ for Salvation, These corn- mandments cannot save us but serve as a means to seek Christ. He con- cluded his talk by bringing out the thought that after we become Chris- tians, the Law shows us the “Will of God" in our lives. Last Wednesday he called the mountain “Compassionate.” The topic was “I believe," He stressed the fact that man could not get up to God so the Almighty let a ladder down to man. “God is just," he said, “but He is also love." If He meted out justice, all men would have to die. but He in His love. sent His Son who lived the perfect life; therefore, in Christ we are perfect. Rev. Gran- lund’s last thought was that the Holy Spirit came to reveal this unto man, thus completing the ladder God has prepared for man. The remaining topics are: "Pray- ing and Receiving Answers, “Prac- tical Value of Baptism to Me Now,” and “Inner Life with Christ." The services will continue until Christmas vacation. THE AUGSBURG ECHO VOLUME XLIV “Augsburg‘s tradition is increase ing with the years," we were told during recent homecoming activities. This caused your reporter to wonder if there existed any tradition among the students themselves. Aft/er ques- tioning a few, it was discovered that there are more than coconuts grow- ing on some family trees. For example, Alfred Walck re- ports that his ancestors were among the Huguenots expelled from France lin the 1600's. His ancestors again came to the fore about a hundred years ago when a Walck gave finan- cial assistance to folk fleeing Ger- many in order to gain religious free- dom. Coming to the Civil War days, we : Augsburg Debaters jWiii Match Wits With Opponents Dec. 17 Augsburg debaters will travel to Gustavus Adolphus College for their first inteicollegiate debate of the season on Dec. 9, This debate is to be informal with no rounds or decisions. The object is to better acquaint the debaters concerning the technicalities of this year’s proposition so that they may be more ably equipped for the com— ing season. Over one hundred debat- ers are expected, and they will de- bate on the National Pi Kappa ques- tion: Resolved, that the United States adopt a policy of strict isola- tion towards all nations outside the Western Hemisphere engaged in in- ternational or civil conflict. Ted Nelr son and Kenneth Carlson will uphold the affirmative side while Lucius Heusser and Irving Chell will support the negative. There will also be two teams repre- senting Augsburg at a Tournament to be held in St, Cloud on Dec. 17. Coach Acker states, “In spite of the fact that many of the Auggie debaters are new, we are anticipat» ing a moderately successful season." The teams that will represent Augsburg at the varius debate tour- naments have not been chosen as yet. Sternheim, Deuts ch Recent Convocation Speakers Dr. Samuel Sternheim, traveling lecturer. spoke on the subject “Social Decay and Disintegration" at con- vocation on Tuesday, November 21. Dr. Sternheim received his education in Europe where he attended Oxford, the University of Heidelberg, and the University of Paris. Another recent convocation lec- turer was Dr. Harold C. Deutsch. Professor of History at the Univer- sity of Minnesota. Dr. Deutsch, who is writing a history of the World War. apoke on the topic, “Revisiting Nazi Germany." Dr. Surnheiui began his lecture on social decay by stating. “College should give no ability and character enough to do our own thinking and to stand by what In think.” Patriot- ism. religious tolerance, and free speech an three of the most pressing problems of today. the speaker stated. Ia our patriotism super-national- ism or is it true patriotism! Which is better. Dcutrhiald aber alles, Brit- tnairu rule. the ‘IIIIIKI. or America fir“! Dr, Sternhcim's address ended with the statement. “The destinies of ci~ \iliution are in the hands of the men and women of America.” Dr, Deutach in his lecture “Nazi Germany Revisited" stated. “the Nazi regime can conveniently be di- Dr. H. C. Deutsrh vided into three periods: the Kampf— zeit up to 1933, the Settling Period— 1933»35. and the Period of Operation since 1935." Dr. Deutsch poinmd out that Hitv ler is almost the perfect dictator pos- sibly his only major weakness in the tween himself and certain of his loyal supporters. The sense of order was my first, and most forcible impress sion." Dr. Deutsch stated. "It is the national disease." They Didn't Come Over Jn The Good Ship Mayflower “extremely emotional relationship be-‘ ind that Edna Kastner had a grand~ father who marched with Sherman to the seal" Nor has she anything in Gilma Sorkness, whose grandfa» ther also marched with Sherman and, not only that, he is still living and is over a hundred years old. Speaking of grandfathers, Wesley Gulliksen tells us that his is a re- putable artist, still active at eighty» four. Grandpa Gulliksen recently had one of his oil paintings placed in the state capitol building at Bis- marck, N. D., and not too many yea ago, this same gentleman sold a life size painting of President McKinley to the Chicago Club in Chicago for the sum of $20,000 . While they can't exactly be called traditional, some of our students have relatives figuring in incidents worth talking about. For example, Reynold Erickson‘s father sailed to America from Sweden on the ill-fated Lusitania on her maiden voyage. Tom Valvik says he has an uncle who was the one and only policeman in a Norwegian town—Manda] by name. Now, however, Manda] has two policemen, one for the day shift and one for the night shift. And while we’re at it, this article should be dedicated to the tradition of traditions, Indeed it is so dedi- cated to the 17,500,001 decendants of those worthy individuals who came over on the Mayflower, and it might be safe to assume that the lonely "one" represents some Auggic—vand don't fight over it, please. P. S Oh, yes, Larry Gudmestad tells us that, should we be interested, his father "ran" a cigar store in Norway before he came to this “promised land”, Wooden Indian and all. Larry'! College Papers The largest delegation of Augs- burg scribes ever to participate in a press meeting were in attendance at the Twin City Chapter meeting of the Minnesota College Press Associa- tion at Hamline University on Nor vember 16. Fourteen Auggie newsmen heard a discussion of the various college pa- per’s by Fred Noer who is in charge of judging the college newspapers for the Collegiate Press. Mr. Nocr remarked, “Your new type ‘Echo’ is a great improvement over past is- sues, but there is still room for im- provement." A business meeting followed the discussion with the main topic dwell- ing on the possibilities of college news broadcasts again this year.

Show morePAGE TWO For THIS We Thank God Just how does this whole idea of Thanksgiv- ing apply directly to Augsburg? What can we be thankful for? One of the first thoughts that comes to our minds is freedom. Our professors are not bound by some. law to teach only this and no more. This freedom in academic pursuits is invaluable for without it there can be little real advance. Freedom of thought is truly a priceless heritage, A little deeper look into our situation reveals other reasons for thanksgiving. We should be continually thankful for the unceasing sacrifice of thousands of individuals that makes Augs- burg possible. To the pioneers that laid the foundation of our institution we owe a debt of gratitude. Are we appreciative of the service that Augs- burg alumlli are rendering? Let us take their collective example and resolve that we too, when we leave these halls. will be a force on the side of right against wrong. freedom against tyran- ny. and justice against injustice. We who are facing graduation and the clos» ini,v of our college career should be deeply grate- ful for a land which stands for freedom of action. In such a world we (ll'l’ what we make ourselves. We think that America has strayed from the original idea of thanksgiving. The Pilgrims set aside the day for the purpose of thanking God for His blessings Nowadays the deity is scarce— ly mentioned. Who then are we thanking? We certainly hope that the current joke “Franks. giving not Thanksgiving" is not taken seriously. Despite the abuses that the celebration suflers, is it not notable that the government as such has recognized the people's desire and set aside a day of Thanksgiving? This is just another thing to thank God for. “Blood Purge" Christ? On the surface it seems difficult to undorstan and why whole nations have yielded their libcrt s dictates of a few strong-willed men. As it has displayed itself these past few years. the authoritarian state has filled democratic peoples with horror. Intcllectually without morals. it has used immoral means to achieve its ends. Broken treaties, violation of the rights of peace-loving nations. do motion of individual libcrty. regintvntation of the ma - burning of books, exiling of scholars. cons rship of pr 5 and radio, and rigid con- trol of education in the interests of the state are but a fcw of the steps taken to establish an authoritarian state. To make the state “total,” to unify it. has been and still is its slogan. But it has done more than this. It has set up its own gods; it has ridiculed and rejected Christianity; it has ceaselessly sought to compel all those who worship Him who is higher than the state to cone form to its own cynical and irreligious standards. Still not satisfied it has persecuted minorities; it has pro- claimed racial theories that intelligent men have brand- ed a lie; it has decreed that truth when running counter to dictates of the state must be crushed to earth. Sub- scribing to that Jesuit tenet that the ends justify the means it has carried out its program by devising cruel punishments, building concentration camps, bait- ing innocent peoples, and making prolific use of “the blood purge." All in all, judging the authoritarian state by its outer aspects and the color of its internal thought, we have here represented a retrogression in the history of man‘s struggle for freedom and liberty of conscience as a way of life.

Hallesby, In 1 l l l 11927, Nurhorg was decorated by ‘the king of Norway for dis tinguished work in his field. i Lomirg to America in 1928, Norborg worked in a Jewish colo- ny in New York City for four years, receiving his M.

In t 1937 he also began teaching at the University of Minnesota.

The fascination of it all. How unfortunate we are to learn so much that we get all passion of thought squeezed out of us by the time we get a B.A. We know a tremendous amount of “stud”. The pity of it all. How few collegians ever spend a night wide awake. trembling with ecstatic wonder at an Idea! How few is the number of those to whom something happens in our colleges and universities: The gripping, lifting. tantaliz- in agony and beauty of an Idea, 3 Truth. 3 Vision in connection with biology. chemistry, mathematics, history or literature! Happy the student who at least once or twice during his education was bitten by an Idea. On his graduation day he may receive his “paper” with a C average, yet, he is to be congratulated rather than the perfect “product” of a college who walks down to accept a Silmma Cum Lullde as proof of his good class-behavior. Only the graduate to whom his Summa is a trifling accident is really serving the Idea. The force of the idea is the true excelsior of a true education, without which any college education will remain four perfectly cozy. harmless, wasted years. I well know it is a paradox to link Force and Idea, yet I wonder if a great Idea is not something Very close to an external compul- sion which from above ourselves (so to speak) takes hold of our total being: Socrates.

Blegen - Guggenheim Fellow Writes On Norwegian Immigration An Augsburg graduate who has to no small extent stimulated historical interest and activity in Minnesota, particularly that of Norwegian- American immigration, is Dr. Theo- dore C. Blegen. His recognition and influence has been extended into the national sphere of historic afl'airs through his literary contributions and through his membership on commit» tees of professional organizations. Dr. Blegen, who was born in Min» neapolis in 1891. received his B.A. at Augsburg in 1910. In 1915 he re» wived his M.A. at the University of Minnesota, in 1925 his Ph.D., and St. Olaf conferred a L. H, D. upon him in 1935. While he attended Augs- burg, Dr. Blegen was very much in- terested in the musical organizations. He travelled around the Northwest singing with the well-known sex- tettes of 1909 and 1912. The culmination of many years progress, from teaching history in high school, at Hamlin-s University, and finally at the University of Min- nesota. was his appointment as super- intendent of the Minnesota Historical Society in 1931. Aside from his lec- tures at the University, Dr. Blegen has devoted most of his time to the society. He has acted as editor of the society's quarterly publication. the “Minnesota History." and has given its readers a notable and varied so» lies of books, pamphlets, and period- icals. Under his leadership this quar- terly has been placed, according to well-known American storians, “in the front rank of American historical periodicals ”.

Some of Dr. Blegea‘s better known articles and books have been on the subjxt of Norwegian-American im- migration. This work is of particu- lar interest to him because of his Viking parentage, He has published one volume of “Norwegian Migration to America," and plans to complete the second volume in the near future. Much of the material for this book was gathered while he was in N01» way in 1928-29 as a fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Founda- tions.

Each girl received a Teacher‘ Placement Bureau blank, which lists ’ different characteristics that profes- sors of the college rate the applicant on when she applies for a teacher‘s position. Miss Mortensen took each of these topics, such as scholarship, dependability, and character, and dis- cussed them in relationship to the girls. She suggested that each girl rate herself on these points. She con- cluded her talk by reading Mabel Aasen’s poem, “One Day Lovelier." his resignation as superintendent and secretary of the Minnesota Historical Society. Under a fellowship awarded by the Norwegian-American Histor-i ical Association, he will devote thel coming year to research, editing. and writing in the field of American im- migration history. In the {all of 19401 he will assume full-time duties as, professor of American History at the] University of Minnesota, from whichl he now is on a leave of absence. Athletes Frolic At W.A.A. Party An informal party was given No- vember tenth by the W. A. A. in honor of the new prospective mem- bers of the club. About thirty girls attended the party and they spent the evening singing and participating in games or stunts. The W. A. A. «‘rved popcorn and carmeled apples to their guests. On November 21. the W. A. A. con- cluded its volley ball season by a tournament between the Blues and the Reds. The Blues won the tourna- ment by winning two of the three games. The Blue team was composed of Harriet Helleckson. Dagmar Dvo- rak, Mary Ann Eye. Dorothy Her- man, Ruth Hornpland, and Mildred Oudal. The w. A.

Dr, Muhleman, who is professor of chemistry at Hamline, read a paper which he had previously read this summer before a history group in Boston. The title of his paper was, “The Versatility of Great Chemists." The Doctor stressed the fact that many great chemists excclled in other fields as well as chemistry. This fact he applied to out modern living by saying, “We too must be versatile to succeed.” The Christmas party for the meme bers of the Aristotelian Society will be held December 4.

Old Main Lounge Newly Furnished Plans for a social mm in Old Main materialized quickly when Room A on the first floor of Old Main was cleaned, papered, and fur- nished in less than two days. The loom which was formerly the Men's Lounge has been used this year as a class room. Classes are now held in a part of the old dining room on the third floor. Additions to the room will be made in the near future. The girls plan a book shower in order to fill the book shelves and a cofi'ee is planned to raise money for drapes, etc. The girls also hope to be able to change the kitchen of the old infirmary into a kitchenette. Incidentally. the room now used by the girls in Old Main for a recep- tion room is to be the new Echo of‘ fice. The committee that has been planning and supervising the work, along with Miss Mortensen and their adviser, Mrs. Nash, consists of: Inez Hinl'ichs, Doris Hanson. Ruth Kveen, Ruth Kolset, and Margaret Emerson. Frosh-Sophs Tussle (Continued from page 1) in a row. Their first victory came in the girl's volleyball game. The score of this tussle was 15—11, with Harriet Helleckson as the sparkplug of the Sophomore attack. The Soph boys won the volleyball tilt. 18-16, after an exciting game in which they had to come from behind to win. There was no particular star in this game as they all played top notch ball. The Freshman girls were sad- ly outclassed by the Sophomores in the beat ball game. They were given a sound heating to the tune of 11—6. The Fresh boys put the “Greens” into the win column once again by winning the dummy race very deci- sively. The Sophomore girls proved to the crowd that they were the windier by winning the bag blowing contest. It was impossible to pick the best blow— :r in the class. In the Dizzy Izzy Relay the Fresh :ame out on top only to have the lace nullified. Three members of each team ran again to determine the winner and this time the Sophomores won. The Sophomores copped their sixth win in the pass relay. This was a nip and tuck battle for quite a while, but the Sophs gradually pulled away and held their lead throughout the game.

Then were ten events and the Sophomores captured six of them for a total of 320 points, while the Fresh- men gathered 240 points from their four victories. The Fresh “Dan Cupids" were just too good for the Sophomore conten- ders and won the archery contest. 12.! to 106, with “Frankie” Westby and Norman Anderson leading the attack. In the touchball game the Fresh again showed their superiority when they defeated the “Upper Classmen" 7-0. with Bob Olson catching the winning pass.

John Milton, pastor of the First Lutheran church in St. Paul. and instructor in Old Testament and Hebrew here at Augsburg, and at Luther Seminary, has written the book “Holy Garments" which is a collection of his sermons on the old series of the Epistle Texts. Rev. Milton had a two-fold pur- pose in writing this book: first, there had been repeated requests for him to write a book on his sermons in the Epistle texts; secondly, beginning six years ago in his own church, he had started to alternate between the three gospel series and the three epixtlc cries each year. During the six years it has taken to complete both series, he has been enriched very greatly spiritually, and has wished to share with others the wonderful exr periences he has had. The purpose of “Holy Garmcnls’ is to emphasize the Chr'ial-Ii/e,‘ an» other name Rev. Milton has given his book is “The Life That Pleases God." In the many places where the \Nnrd of God is not heard regularly and pastoral contacts are few and far la» tween, this book will serve as a devo- tional and spiritual guide to many, it was learned. It has just been released from the press and is available at the Angus- C . Pace, President of Hamline, “be» cause of this new Dormitory for the men." Di‘. Pace gave a short greet- ing.

The Old Main lounge was merely a drab, sec- ond-rate Classroom last year. Now it has under- gone a complete metamorphosis. The room serves the social needs of a girl's dormitory far better thaii did the former Reception room. The Echo is thankful that it now has a place that it can call home. A paper being an institu- tion needs some central spot to attach itself to and to work from. Echo headquarters are lo- cated ill what was formerly Mr. Batalden’s of- fice iii Old Main. Another innovation, although not so new, de- serves more publicity than it has received—we refer to fitting out of the Old Main basement as a locker room for the athletes. The space re- served for this purpose in the Main was entire- ly inadequate for both gym classes and orga- nized athletics. A fourth notable step taken this year has been the clever and ingenious decorating of the dor» lnitories for homecoming. The grads we believe appreciate the efforts shown by students in dressing up the campus. The festive bunting showed that imagination. originality, and the capacity for hard work are not dead on the Augsburgr block. Common characteristics of all these advances are the comparatively small outlay of money, and the display of genuine thought and honest investment of work, proving again that not wishing for more but using whatever we may have to the fullest advantage will result in pro. gr s5 What’s Your Opinion?

She is the woman of the hour on the hour who has stir. red up so much sentiment around the Southtuwn campus and perhaps will in the time to come. Basis of Lutheranism The month of October always calls to mind that mo- mentous October day in the year 1517, when the burn» mer blows were struck that soon resounded all over Europe. It was Martin Luther who struck those his- toric blows when he nailed his Ninetysfive Theses to the door of the castle church in Wittenbel‘g. In grateful memory to the intrepid Reformer, October 31 has been set aside as Reformation Day to commemorate an event that has had the most far-reaching consequences in the annals of the Christian Church. For that day saw the birth of what later was to develop into our most price- less possession, our spiritual and cultural heritage. Unfortunately, however, we who profess to be Lu- therans are in grave danger of forgetting the spiritual and cultural significance that Reformation Day has for us. Our homes, our schools, and our churches, although reaping the blessings of our heritage, have all but for- gotten the intimate relationship that exists between October 31, 1517, and our cumulative spiritual and cul~ tural inheritance. The result of our indifference, if per- mitted to continue, will certainly lead to an irretriev~ able loss. We college students may in a vague way know of the existence of such a day, but do we have a profound realization of its spiritual and cultural signi- ficance? Are we as college students aware of the fact that our Lutheran institutions are a direct result of what took place on October 31, 1517. The first of these basic truths was the declaration by Martin Luther that the Word of God alone is infallible. That is, that only the Scriptures can give assurance and certainty in the solution of life‘s greatest. problems, Not the conscience of the individual, nor the decision of the majority: not the authority of reason, nor the infal- libility of tradition; not a rugged, self-centered indi- vidualism, nor a rigid, spirit-killing collectivism. God‘s Word and that alone is the one and only solution for the ills of mankind. Man‘s Search for the ultimate truths of life divorced from the Scriptures is a futile effort which in the end can only lead to disillusionment. The second great fundamental truth proclaimed by Luther was that God alone can save. Luther came to a glorious realization of this divine truth after a long and desperate attempt to justify himself before God. The God of Law whom Luther had sought to placate, now became the God of Love. This rediscovery revived the Scriptural truth that man is justified by faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ alone. These, then, are the two momentous and dynamic truths, the foundation stones upon which our spiritual and cultural heritage restl Without a clear recogni- tion and a whole~hearted acceptance of these eternal verities the existence and preservation of our Lutheran heritage cannot be justified. To cull ourselves Lutherans without knowing and accepting what Luther stood for is to assume a privilege to which we have no right. L E. H.

WSGA Adopts Plan The W. S. G. A. is inaugurating a new plan in its society. Each girl at Augsburg is to have a secret friend. A friend who from time to time surprises her with little unex— pected attentions. such as a rose from the florist or a helpful tract. No- one knows the name of any secret friend. except her own. At the close of the semester a party will be given at which everybody will find out who their secret friend is. Plans are also under way for the furnishing of a social room in Old Main under the direction of Inez Hinrichs and Doris Hanson with Mrs. Nash as adviser. The rummage sale which was conducted to raise money for this cause netted thirty- nine dollars.

He has been for many years the director of the Norwegian male chorus of this city. Mr. Hansen was the editor of the “Tidende” for many years. Mr. Hansen spoke on democracy. and used as example the Scandi— navian countxiu. The second speaker was Dr. Karl Ermiach. who recently returned from a Visit in Germany. His subject was “Hitler in Germany". While visiting in Germany last summer. Dr. Ermiach looked for two things: that Hitler is giving to Ger- many and what Hitler-ism has to give to the world. In speaking of the attitude of the German people toward Hitler. Dr. Ermisch said. "I have not found a single man in Germany who objectedl to Hitler's dictatorial power. Theyl all trust him and cannot forget that they owe their political existence to him. Before he came into power there was no safety in Germany."

Augsburg’s outward growth in the last five years has been phenomenal. She has seen her student body increased by a third. The curri— culum has been extended, and new professors have been secured to teach the classes. She has built a new thoroughly modern men’s dormitory. She contemplates further expansion when her finances will allow. With all this external progress one naturally wonders—will the returning graduates see a corresponding inner advance, or have the years brought no improvement—is Augsburg be- calmed on the sea of its own indifference? Has the intellectual life of the school deepen- ed, broadened, and matured? We have a foot— ball team again, but is the school spirit at a higher pitch than in the past? The library has continually been adding books to its collection— do we read more widely and are we better in- formed than our predecessors? Our laboratories are better equipped—has this fact been an in- centive for us to probe deeper the mysteries of science? The campus is far more beautiful than it was in dad's time, but are we taking more pride in keeping it ship shape? Is our spiritual life on a higher plane of fervency and intensity than the “faith of our fathers?" By frankly facing these quires, one comes to the inevitable conclusion: Our advantages sur- pass those of our forefathers—how have we used them? Remember the warning— “to whomsoever much is given. of him much shall be required." Stem Narrowness! Collegi- life is supposed to broaden the indi< \‘illuols outlook and point of view, to free one from the fetters of prejudice, and substitute a tolerant. scientific attitude. Many of Aungurg's students come from small towns and we have noticed a deplorable tendency toward forming tightly—bound cliques. The home town folks may be splendid, but they can scarcely be representative. The conversa- tion of these groups tends to rotate around last year's high school basketball team and this year's pie eating contest. These narrow provin- cinlisms are detrimental to school spirit. It is also very possible that others are seeking your acquaintance and maybe your fellowship, but they simply can't break that barrier of home town cronies. Another trend in collegiate life which is un- fortnnutv is tendency to form interest-cliques. This condition may be greatly improved by tak— ing on new and varied interests which will force one to keep company with similarly in— terested people. We think that each student has something to contribute to the whole of student life. So don‘t put your light under a buShel. but let it shine. And you will find your own life immeasurably enriched. The Echo stall wishes to join the student body in extending its sincerest sympathy to Ruth Hompland. Ruth Kolset. and Gordon Hokanson in their bereavement. Augsburg has sustained a great loss in the death of Mrs. M. A. Pederson. She was a faith- ful friend of our institution. 61hr Augsburg Erin: EDITORIAL STAFF autumn-ch mes-w lam: ran-a PM. rhino: winner Wuhan-m columnists Sun-now snow-thins noel.

In 1872Augsburghadtohemovcd. Thelendersf'eltthattheir school must be located elsewhere in order to do the most good. A committee of three was elected to investigate the pomibilitiee. Pastor Ole Paulson from Minneapolis was on that committee. In his book "Erindringer" he tells of how he sought out his friend. Judge Vanderburgh, and laid his ideas before him. Previous to this the Judge had expressed the duire to have a Norwegian church school in Minneapolis. Immediately, a council was called of the leaders of the city. They, too, agreed to invite the Semi- nary to move to Minneapolis. Prof. Weenaas, when he came, received a few lots in the south part of Minneapolis. With this as a beginning, he received a few subscriptions in lumber and money. Finally after engaging two carpenters and receiving a gift of fifty dollars from a servant girl, the leaders began erecting a 40x50 two-story veneer frame building. In the fall of 1872 the building was ‘ ' ‘ " r ' a $5,000 debt. The new institution cost $9,000, of which the citi- lens of Minneapolis supplied $4,000. Little encouragement was received outside the city, as less than $500 was given toward the building. 1874 brought another building for the Seminary. A “tenement house" for three professors was also built. The growth of the school necessitated more instructors; so after careful considera- tion Georg Sverdrup and S. R. Gunnerson were called from Nor- way. The school debt was mounting steadily after Weenaas’ resigna- tion in 1876. This threatened to divide the whole church into three divisions. Many of the pastors lost interest in the school. but supporters met at Willmar and appointed Sven Oftedal as a chairman to gather money. The agreement was that if $16,000 couldn‘t be subscribed by January 1, 1878, the money would be refunded. When the time came for collection, almost $18,000 came in, so Augsburg was saved. As a result laymen supported the school more intensely and the farmers throughout the Northwest learned to call it “our school." A few years later more lots were purchased with the assistance of able Minneapolis citizens, until Augsburg owned the entire block. A democratic boarding school was set up where the stu- dents elected the managers and treasurers. Dues were paid four times a year. Well balanced meals could be obtained for $1.50 per week. In 1921 a momentous step was taken when five women were admitted to the institution. Since then, their numbers have grown until almost one third of the present enrollment consists of women. The greatest project of latter years, the erection of the Sver- drup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, was completed in 1938. Once again a drive was made in Minneapolis under the leadership of local men, and once again the citizens of the city responded to help in this magnificant undertaking. EVERALD Smoai.

Christianity in Crisis In one of the rucent issues at the Sltnvdn' Evening Post an article appeared entitled “The Crisis in Chrb- unity.“ Its author, Will Durant, such to pvint out the glaring fallacies of what he defines as Christilnlw. 0n the basis of his own definition. which is certainly nu in mrd with the Scriptural manning. he formulates a solution for the salvation of Christianity. Superficial): and ‘ the author ’ to state whcnin Christianity has failed, and in doing so he makes some far-fetched generalizations His startling revelation that half of Europe has Injected the faith. Rania im- plicitly and Germany explicitly. seems to indicate some hastily drawn conclusions on the part of Mr. Durant. We might question the writer as to whether Russia as a nation has ever had the opportunity to accept or re- ject true Christianity. In another some has the Chris- tianity of the New Testament ever been tried In Russia? Furthermore, Mr. Durant must have overlooked the fact that six thousand pastors of the evangelical faith in Germany huvs refused to how the knee to Baal. Men are so prone to think that the measure of success or crisis in Christianity is determined in terms of union and magnitude. What Mr. Durant may choose to call a crisis in Christianity. God may choose to call a salu- tary influence. It is obvious that the writer of the above article is a stranger to the spirit of New Testamnnt Christianity. We like the liberty to quote a few ex- tracts to reveal Mr. Durnnt’s trend of thought: "Since we cannot expect human beings, in any large number or near future, to make the New Testament the actual rule of their lives, shall we not "put the urrnr of the Utopians, and invite a gigantic lie, if we define Christianity us the practice of the principles of Christ? 01 course, we define it rather as the sincere accep« tnnce of those principles. Probably Christ offered the full and perfect code only for the preachers of the Ger pel. not for the laity. . . . For the rest of us, we can only promise to do our best, obstinstely to try to treat all men ls brothers; this effort is all that Christianity demands. . . . And we hope that it (the Church) will continue to add to the glories of the Bible I second Bible, [evidently Mr. Durant is not satisfied with the first one] recording the finest thoughts and sctlonl of every race of men, so that every race may be able to find in this new old faith its heroes Ind ideals." Without quoting any further, it is self—evident that Mr. Durant's definition of Christianity is not that of the Scriptures. In all fairness he should devise I new terminology to clothe his beliefs instead of using the traditional Christi-n terminology. Christianity in s way of life, founded upon I message, not a code, a rule. or an ethics dependent upon man's efforts as Mr. Dn- r-nt suggests. Granting that there Is a crisis in Chris- tianity, according to the author‘s definition of that term, certainly does not make Biblical Christianity In any way responsible. ’I‘hat charge must in all Justic- be laid at the door of man himself. As long as men persist in spurning the love of God as manifested on the Cross of Calvary, just so long will the" be crisis, chaos, and upheaval among men. Dr. A. B. Mairbnlrn once said in a sermon that "Calvary II In epitome of the world. and in its environs we encounter all the forces that make and have made for death in this world: vested interests in church and state. cunning and tau pediency, ignorance and prejudice, hate and cruelty and indifference—all the things that through the a“ have degraded and enslaved and violated the spirit of man.” —I.

It was Dan Elmer's debut in the college ranks in which he definitely showed the con- ference that his team will be a fac- tor to be seriously considered for the Ill-10 season. The St. Paul school started their sole march for a tally late in the first quarter and poked the ball over just after the start of the second period. The “Auggies” over determination and lack of experience caused a Pi- per score at this point. It was three consecutive off-sides and three short gains, one by Hamline's Bill Spence and Jack Campbell, that crushed Augsburg‘s hopes of a clean slate. Augsburg only threat came in the re quarter when “the fighting crew" were stopped on the N yard line where they lost the ball on downs. From the ~15. Mart carried the bull to Hanlline’s 28, where Thompson made it a first down. Jim Gibbons went to the :20 yard marker on a buck and then a pass, Mart to Gibbons. carried the ball to the H where the Hamline defense stopped Augsburg's offense cold.

On first meeting and talking to him one senses im- meditately that addressing him as Mr. Elmer or as Mr. Dan Elmer would be too formal and out of place. After speaking to him for a while one realizes that he is not as soft4 spoken as he first appeared. probably becau he has warmed up to one of hi. fa orite subjects and is telling you the good tasting qualities of some new dish of food, or the merits of some insurance policy, or the ad- vantages of 6-2-24 football defense. Dan graduated from North High in June 1934 and decided to continue his work at the University of Minner sota. Herc he continued to be promiv nent in Y. M. C. A. circles as he had been in high school. Here he became a member of the Phi Delta Theta fra~ ternity in which he still takes an active part. He played center on Gopher football teams and earned three letters. Dan still attends tht University. taking courses in phy— but will serve as publicity director of the school. “Blik” is to write for the Star-Journal and Tribune this school year, which should give Aug - burg plenty of publicity in all ac‘iri» ties. This fall a concentrated cani- paign is being formed to give publi- city to the newly formed football team. Last year Augsburg became known far and wide because of concerted drives by “Blik”. If Augsburg is to grow and expand, an adequate publi- city campaign must be conducted, not only in the athletic department. but in forensics, and music. and the dlfierent minor ones. So "My Friends”, let’s back “Blik’s” newly formed publicity campaign. for it might moan publicity for you, and just think what the home town folks would say My what a popular fel- low he is. JGob".

This fact makes it necessary for him to get to difl‘erent places very quickly, which he does by driving rather fast in his Vv8 Ford coupe. Just lately Dan received a “yes” from Miss Helen Hortel of Minne- apolis. and for a wedding present the Auggie football men sent him a pair of baby overalls. In the pockets were stuffed one dollar bills, half dollars. quarters, dimes and nickels totalling ten dollars This is just one of the many indications Dan has received from his football men showing they think he is tops as a coach Roast beef, mashed potatoes, and gravy is Dan's favorite dish. Already Mrs. Elmer is urging Dan to buy a whole side of beef She figures by buying in larger quantities they will save enough for her husband to buy her a new hat, The football men like Dan very much and will be trying their hard- est to give their new coach a success- ful season. “A” Club to Present “Dramatic Farce” The "A" Club, a comparatively new organization at Augsburg, cele- brates its third birthday this year. This organization is Composed of former and recent letter winners. and has as its main purpose “to keep the athleti of Augsburg on the highest po..ible plane, and to further promote the truths and undying spirit for which Augsburg stands." Projects for the year may include another “Dramatic Force" for which the “A” club has already established fame. The annual steak supper a' Homecoming and a big feed at its annual spring meeting are highlight- on its calendar. The Club has been active in the past and will undoubtedly be more active in the future with Augsburg’s lesumption of intercollegiate foot- ball competition.

Waldemar Anderson and Harold Grindal traveled through the north central states doing evangelistic work, singing, and selling religious literature. Alfred Sevig, who this fall en- tered the seminary, spent the sum- mer as a representative of the Lu~ theran Free Church Publishing Com- pany, selling books and showing movies of school life and also of the various Bible Camps. Vernon and Joseph Erickson and Clement Gisselquist of Augsburg were also on tour this summer doing evangelistic Work by singing and bringing personal testimonies. Aristotelians View Yellowstone Films Educational trips to points of in- terest, such as the laboratories, as- tronomy observatories, human ana- tomy building, etc., at the University are included in the plans of the Aris- totelian Society for this year. “We also plan to have lectures by men in the field of science," says Kennneth Carlson, president of the society. At the first meeting for old mem- bers only, Dr. Nash showed the slides he took at Yellowstone this summer. This organization is primarily for students interested in science of some sort and who have B averages schol- astically. Dr. Nash, head of the Biology de- partment, spends his summers in Yellowstone National Park as nat- uralist and guide. His position en» ables him to make extensive collec- tions of flowers and films which are of great value to Botany and Biology students at Augsburg.

Dr. Karl Ermiach, head of the Ger- man department, returned on Sep- tember 19, after a harrowing cross in; from Europe. Dr. Ermiach left Hamburg August 24 on the German ship Hausa, which was called back to Germany when only one day out. He returned to Hamburg, but on advice of the American consul went to Denmark. A German pilot was required to guide the SCANYORK through the mines at the entrance of the Baltic sea. During the crossing 75 German warships were sighted laying mines. And the ship crossed on a northern route to avoid submarines. “All of which made us rather nervous, as you can well imagine," Dr. Ermisch said. “I found a Germany entirely dif- ferent from what I had seen 29 years ago—not only that the country had turned from imperialism to so- cialism, but the people had changed, too. It was indeed a revolution, a national rebirth when national so- cialism was inaugurated." “We here in America will naturally object to the empha- sis on ‘national’, but socialism, defined by the Nazis as unre- served service to society, does not seem too objectionable to me... “The vast majority of Germans who know Hitler, almost idoline him, other: regard him as coming from and belonging to the abyss. “The soalled democracies may will have a chance to crush Hitler. In 10 years Germany would have been too strong for any combination of powers to subdue," he said. LSA Features Ashraam Quartet The first meeting of the Lutheran Student’s Ass ation was held in Chapel lust Fri ay evening, Sept. 22, at 8: 0. Several songs were sung by the audience after which Conrad Jergenson gave the invocation. Dr. B. M. Christensen, president of Augsburg College, in his address related the history and purpose of the Lutheran Association acquaint— ing the new students more fully with the activities of the organiza- tion. Other special features of the pro- gram consisted of selections by a quartet that participated at the Lu- theran Student's Ashram at Hickory, North Carolina last August. The quartet is composed of Myrus Knutson, lat tenor, Iowa State Uni- versity; Gordon Egertson, second tenor, and Erling Thompson, second bass. St. Olaf College, and Robert Pearson, first has Augsburg Col- lege. All except Robert Pearson, who is now attending the University of Minnesota, are enrolled this year at Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul. Lester Dahlen was in charge of the services. Juniors Lack Lucrc Kenneth Carlson, president, called a meeting of the Junior class for the purpose of obtaining ideas as m ways and means of raising money. A committee was chosen to investi- gate possibilities for a clas program. The committee consists of Catherine lavaaa, Delbert Rhodes. and Richard lawman, The committee is busy booking Thursday sales dates and is looking into financial possibilin‘es of a dra» matic performance.

Laurence Rydquist was made treasurer in the absence of Er- ling Tungseth, who transferred to Concordia College. A weiner roast will be held at Hid- den Falls on Friday, October 6. Ar- rangements for other social activi- ties which will occur during the course of the year, are also in the making. Various committees were elect- ed: Pins and rings, Russell Helleck- son, chairman, Venoy Glendenning, Henry Chapman, and Roy Gordon: Sweater, Lucius Heusser, chairman, Agathe Kleven, and Bernell Borstad; Announcements, Roy Maids, chair- man, Clarice Nundahl, and Adelaid Johnson; Pictures, Alice Backstrom, chairman, George Anderson, and Ralph Sletten.

Busse speak for two Chapel periods, to or- range opportunities for personal in- terviews, and to have meetings in the evenings from seven until eight. This week, set aside especially for the emphasis of religion, should MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1939 All Time High Registration Record Promised Everything points to a all-time record in registration at Augsburg. 408 students have been registered in the first two weeks of school. At the corresponding date last year the figure was 363 or 45 less. Prof. Mar- tin Quanbeck, registrar, voiced the opinion that the number of students at Augsburg would pass the 450 mark this year. The Freshman class of 181 is the largest in the 71 years of Augsburg’s existence. Last year's Green num- bered 155. The figures for the other classes are: Sophomore 97 and for '38 87 Juniors, 65 as against 70. Seniors 59 as compared with 48 for 1938. This year there seems to be quite a gap between the sizes of the Sophomore and Junior classes, while the Senior class has held its own. We also have 5 special students at Augsburg this year. The theological seminary has 14 students to date, which is 2 above last year’s 12. This means an in- crease of 16 2/3 ‘7r. Augsburg’s students hail from 14 states and 4 countries. Approx- imately 67 per cent of our students are native Minnesotans. Minneapolis has the largest representation of any city with 109, According to latest available statistics at least 1 % of arouse great interest among the stu- dent body. Starbuck, Minn., is on our campus (9 people). INTRODUCING NEW AUGSBURG PERSONALITIES Now that a new semester is under way and things are almost back to normal, you probably have noticed several unfamiliar faces here and there on the campus. Not only are there many new per- sonalities in the student body, but also several new faculty members and workers. REV ARNOLD HELSETE Nearly all of you have had some contact with our Personal Director, Rev. N. C. Anderson, either through registration, or in the mad search for employment. Rev. Anderson is a graduate of Augsburg. class of ’34. He has spent four years as a pastor in Tacoma, “Wash, since leaving the Seminary, and incidentally, he is glad to be back with us again. Miss Anderson is the lady in the registration oflice. By the way, hasn't she the patience of a saint, to be able to smile after wading through registration blanks for two weeks? She, too. was a student here at Ange burg in 1934, hailing originally from Menominie, Wis. Miss Chilson is assisting Dean Momnsen over in Morton Hall. She formerly taught at Augustana Aca- demy, and at present is attending the L. B. 1. His Wyman, our dietician. is a penseaofflicyear. graduate of the University of Iowa. Before coming to Augsburg, she was employed at the State Hospital in Clarinda, Iowa. Miss Wyrnan was particularly impressed by our grand dining hall and equipment. She com- mented too, on the nice people she has met here at our college. While We're on the subject of food and dining halls, we can‘t forget to mention Mrs. Nelson, formerly of Nellie Steven’s Cafe, here in Minne- apolis. She is the pastry cook, and from several reports, it must be cone cluded that she need not take a back seat for no one when it comes to cooking. Our new gym teacher, Miss Bergo, is a graduate of St. Olaf. “I have been favorably impressed by the fine Christian attitude found here at Augsburg," says Miss Bergo. Luther Strommen and Lawrence Gudmestad are in charge of the Em- ployment Bureau. They have found work for some seventy students, and that is a record that certainly speaks for itself. Rev. Arnold Helseth, formerly a teacher at Oak Grove Seminary (Little sister school of Augsburg) and also an Augsburg graduate, is the instructor in philosophy. He re- places Rev. William Siege], who is furthering his own studies. Promising Outlook For Debate Season “Although the debate teams have not yet been organised, some of the prospective members seem promis- ing," states Everald Strom, a member of last year's debate team. Tentative plans have been made for Augsburg's debate teams. They will participate in tournaments at Winfield, Kansas, Concordia College, and St. Thomas College. Mr. John Acker will be coach again. Mr. Thomas Gibson is assist- ing with a class in argumentation and debate. DR PENG FU Clean Cut Your Closets A call is issued by the women of Augsburg to all the students and members of the faculty for assistance in the furnishing of a social or club room. NUMBER 1 Dr. Pens Fu, Chinese Christian Leader, Speaks Oct. 19, 20 Olson LFC Missionary Will Translate Talks Dr. Peng Fu, president of (he Lu- theran Church of China. will be a guest of Augsburg College on the nineteenth and twentii‘th of Octobur. He will be the convocation speaker on the nineteenth, and on the «lay fol- lowing hc will speak in chnpcl. Rev. Arthur Olson, a Lutheran Free Church missionary from China, now home on furlough, \vlll interpret Dr. Pong Fu's messages. Dr. Pong has been in tho Unitvd States four months.

The Chinese clergyman received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from St. Olaf College at the com- mcncerncnt exercises last June. Dr. Peng is not certain just when he will return to China. Plans are such that with the co- operation of everyone, a rummage sale can be held down on Cedar. Mildred Ryan, W. S. G. A. presi- dent, says, “There is nothing that will not sell. Anything you don’t want someone else will—so come on fellows." The girls want ties, suits, shirts, books, lamps, hats, and shoes. They want old jewelry (ten cent stufi is 0.K.) hats, dresses, shoes,7just anything goes. 0h, yes—and how about some vol- unteers for helping move that furni- ture from Old Main down to Cedar? All this for a club room. There is no question about the necessity of such a room, so let's all get behind the idea and push. Sophs Plan Frosh l iation Party Harry Sorenson, president of thc Sophomore class, called a meeting chiefly for the purpose of making plans for tho.- Freshman-Sophomore party.
