We may be sure that with the dawning of another period of out- ward peace on earth man will again try to build a new world along the well-worn patterns of his own imperfect wisdom. We may be sure that the political ma- terial forces which have failed to keep the peace in the past will be resorted to again in the future— only now on a scale so Vast and terrifying as to stagger even the most vivid imagination. We may be sure that the policies of what is called “realism” will have its Vigorous and loud-voiced propo- nents in every land on earth in- cluding our own. It will require both high courage and keen spir- itual vision to dare to advocate the treading of new international ways in order that the complete destruction of civilization may be averted. And if the relationships between nations are to be purified and deepened. these must neces» sai'ily be rooted in the personal attitudes of individual human be- ings. The relations between our country and Japan or Russia will not be right unless in individual hearts there is a real attempt to achieve an attitude toward those peoples which is in harmony with the fundamental spirit and It‘aChlngS of Christianity. The ne» gm problem in America. or the problem of antirSemitism. can never be solved first on a whole- sale basis. First and basically. there must be Cl‘t‘allve courage on the part of enlightened individ- uals in iccognizing the equality and worth of the common human- ity which underlies every out- ward dierrences. The full liberav tion of Asia‘s billion people will be brought about only as Christ’s ideal of man slowly but surely takes possession of the hearts of men and women in so-called Christian nations. Without these transformations of spirit and atti- tude. every forward step of sci- ence. be it ever so revolutionary and unimaginable, will be only a more complete preparation for greater and more destructive wars in the future.

And in the realm of the spirit, Christ has no rival. either in His principles or in His Person. Once again the agelong alternative of Christ or catastrophe faces the world—but now in such stark outline that even the most hard- ened cynic can scarcely fail to see. In the guarding of the spiritual ramparts of peace and the form» ing of basic patterns for the fu- ture life-relationships of mankind the Christian college must inevit- ably have a large responsibility. And our own Augsburg College and Seminary too, can, if we will, surely play a not insignificant part. If we will lift our eyes be- yond our own narrow and selfish concerns and give ourselves with genuine devotion to some of these great and urgent problems of the world—problems whose solutions, however, are not to be wrought nut simply in the faraway dis— tance but in our own living to- gether here on the campus and within our immediate commu» nity: if the churches with which we are associated can be filled with a deep and genuine passion not simply to speak Christian words but in humble faith and faithfulness really to live out the radical and creative teachings of Christ: if our students can go forth from our classrooms and Chapel filled with flaming zeal and ready to suffer and struggle for their ideals: then our College work shall not represent simply a few years of comparative ease and pleasant postponement of life's sterner issues. but a vital and enduring contribution to the work that. as far as this world goes, is the most important to be done in our age. And we shall have our part, too, in building the Kingdom whose horizons stretch far beyond the narrow limits of a world where man‘s fleeting days are but a brief three-score years and ten. With faith in the living God. and in Jesus Christ His Son our Lord. and in the Holy Spirit. by Whose power alone the life of mankind can be renewed from Within, let us give ourselves. each one in his place, the work of Christian education at Augse burg. Extension Drive For Building Fund An extension drive for the Building Fund has been made by the executive committee. Our goal is $75,000 and by Sep- tember 1, the total for this sec, tion of the fund had reached $43,- 000. Of the 5250.000 total goal for the two Lutheran Free Church projects Director Rogne reported August 1 that $175,000 had been subscribed. This includes the alumni funds. SMITH DRUG soms . LUNCHES PRESCRIPTIONS 2200 Riverside Ave. MA. 9767 One aim from Anni)“; THE AUGSBURG ECHO .‘Zieaa Mm 4. Minneapolis, Minn. My dear Miss Finkledine, I have a problem. My problem may not sound very serious, but it is nevertheless. In fact, I have been wondering just what I should do. You can help me, no? No. OK so I ain't lovelorn. All I wanna know is why. what, and where I should spend my spare. minutes, or hours or days. In distress, FROSH. My dear Fresh. Indeed you do have a problem, and even tho' it is somewhat out of my line, I shall do my best to answer you. Inasmuch as you are in Min- neapolis you should have no trouble finding recreation. Being that Minneapolis is a city noted for its lakes. I would as a start- er try to explore the lake areas. A picnic lunch will make your journey twice as enjoyable. Ca1- houn, Lake of the Isles. Cedar Lake are close together so you can see them in the same trip and don't be afraid to ask direc- tions. Nokomis and Hiawatha are also two lovelv lakes not far from school. A walk along the river especially in the fall is a must. but you‘ve probably done that al- ready. The Art institutes and museums are a nice place for a rainv day. Even if you are not especially in- terested in art. you will find many strange and fascinating ob- jects. You Will find that Minneapo- lis is a stop city for the top ar- lists in any field of music. and then many choral organizations in the city put on a varietv of program to suit any taste. For those who don‘t have the time to travel to Niagara. I have a few suggestions. Either have your roommate pour a pail of wa ter on your head or spend a token and see the famous replicaiMine nehaha Falls. Girls, please do not swoon when you see the hand- some figger of a man standing be- fore the falls and boys, take it easy when you see the beautiful babe. May I introduce you to Mr. Hiawatha and Miss Minnehaha. Those with much excess energy will find that a game or two of bowling, an evening of ice or rol- lcr skating will take care of that. A fast game of tennis, in the right temperature, will send anyone‘s blood tingling. Some afternoon, whv don‘t you and your best pal skip over to Sivertsen Hall? The basement 1‘90 reation room offers a variety of entertainment to ward of! any feelings of loneliness for that well worn ping pong table at home. Shufileboard, a paddle game, and several kinds of dart games can make any evening full of fun. ' These are just a few ideas for your leisure time and as a last suggestion try to see as much of the city as possible. Wishing you a good year, Miss Finkledine. Friday, 80mm "4 1M5 Wm fluted During the summer an Indus- trial Seminar has been housed in Memorial hall at Augsburg un- der the sponsorship of the YMCA, YWCA, and a representative com- mittee of Twin City citizens. A group of about thirty young peo- ple from a number of Middle West colleges have been enrolled. working in industry during the day and participating in seminar discussions and forums in the eve- ning. Leaders from many fields of business, labor, government, and education including the May- or of Minneapolis, Mr. Hubert Humphrey, have addressed the group. . . . The report on the survey of Augsburg, which was conducted last spring by Prof. M. G. Neale of the University of Minnesota, was submitted to the Board of Trustees at its annual meeting in July and to the Faculty at a spe- cial meeting August 8. Among its definite recommendations, the Report lists enlarged and im» proved Library facilities and of new science laboratories as two of Augsburg's most pressing needs, thus underscoring the ab- solute necessity of the building program for which money is now being gathered. The Board and the Faculty are taking steps to carry out immediately a number of other steps recommended in the Report also. o . . Extensive renovations were made in Morton hall this sum- mer. The lounge was redecorated and the floors were refinished. Several pieces of furniture have been purchased for the lounge. 7/144; 3“, Pittsburg, Kans.—(ACP)—The trend toward democratic adminis— tration of education will be illus- trated at the Pittsburg Teachers College this fall. About 50 stu- dents will be appointed to various faculty committees in a reorgani- zation of committees, Dr. Paul Murphy, dean of administration, said.

I345 IN THE CUFFS WITH PANTS Even though the war is over there is still a manpower shortage, but here at “Auggie Tech" football has returned after an absence of three years. Injuries and football seem to go hand in hand, but this year our only casualty thus far has been our beloved coach and boss, Luther Gronseth. If you so-called readers will bear with me I will write the coach and let him know all about us. DearBoas: So sorry to hear that you are ill, but then even the best of men fall victims sooner or later to those little bugs. I hope that the nurses are treating you as you should be treated, it shouldn‘t happen to a dog. The Fresh fellows proved to be real athletes out at Freshman Camp. Everyone of the boys were in at 10:30, of course some of the fellows have gone back to “old time." All the boys enjoyed themselves and we all missed you. In the next issue of the Echo, I'll tell you all about our new foot- ball players. Until then I remain your faithful servant and flunkie. BOKSE. / Among the returning servicemen here at Augsburg this year is Stan Person. Stan or “Sweat” was an outstanding member of the Auggie championship baseball team in 1943. In that year he was chosen All-State third baseman. This year at school Stan will be in charge of one of the gym classes and when spring rolls around he will be out there at third base again. Welcome back Stan, we all hope you have a good year. If there are any of you fellows with a lot of free time between 4 and 5 o’clock in the afternoons, drop around to the Athletic office and check out a football suit. We need all the men we can get, so let's all back the team to the limit. AUGGIES IN THE SERVICE Former Auggies have returned to school this fall after receiving discharges from the service.

Show moreProfessor Georg Sverdrup, one of the founders of Augsburg, has left us a definition of education which is worthy of being transmitted to each new generation of Augsburg students. "Education." he says. “con- sists in a genuine spiritual culture resulting from a personal appropria» tion of truth, such that the latter becomes a living force in the heart of the individual. determining thought and will. speech and conduct, until the whole course of history and human life is viewed in its light. In other words true education leads the individual into the experience of the meaning of personal freedom.“ This definition may seem quite involved and “deep” to an entering Freshman, but it deserves careful study, especially because it sets up a high goal for our college work. To think of education as the quest of truth and the appropriation of its power into one's own life. gives chal- lenge and point to all the varied activities that go to make up college life. The most important thing in a Christian college education is to grow in a genuine understanding of truth, centered in One who said, "I am the Truth." We’re Back at School Again Returning to school always seems like coming home from a far country. Some of the faces we see are those familiar faces which will never lose their identity in our memories. Some cause us to comb our minds for a name to match them; and others are entirely new to us. But which evcr the case, invariably we associate special little thoughts with every face we see. Like the gal who is always late for class. and the fella who chews gum incessantly. When we see their faces again. we remember those peculiar characteristics which compose an in- dividuals personality. So let's remember as we begin this school year, that the things we do and say will be remembered by those about us: and that rather than be known as the person who hides when the call (or help is raised, we want to be remembered as ready to lend a \mllt' and a hand anytime and all of the time. For the many activities around Augsburg demand much co-opera- mm on the part of each of us. and that little guy called “reputation” ' ahead} lalit‘d to grow. So it is up to us to bring him up in such . that through him people “'1” know us to be really loyal Auggies. ~C. Q.

I‘m sure that all freshmen at Augsburg feel the way Longfel- low did when he wrote those his- toric lines. How could we forget that inner excitement and anticir pation we lived through all sum- mer, the castles we built, and our dreams of working on the school paper, playing on the football team, or singing in the choir? We had the “world by the tail" until we mounted the steps onto the campus. Our stomachs had butterflies as we timidly approached the Deans and inquired about our rooms. The meeting of our roommates had been looked forward to all summer but now when the time came we couldn‘t say any of the things we had planned, Somehow we got through the first day; we began to junk our homesickness and associate with the rest of the freshies. It is rather certain too. that not many of us will ever let the mem- ory of the English placement test fade from the pages of the past. The nationally known “olym- pic stars" provided such grand fun and entertainment. We hope the upperclassmen enjoyed them- selves for another evening. The quiet solicitude and beauty of camp St. Croix was certainly one of the greatest events of Freshman Week. The group sing» ing was so inspiring to many of us. Morning chapel has been an encouragement and help and it causes this question to be asked, "How can our college career be without purpose if we earnestly seek God's help and guidance?" You see we will never forget Freshmen Week and certainly not the friendliness or fellowship everyone has shown us. ‘7/w flay/M44219 L’ch Established in 1896 1945 Member 1946 Associated Collegiate Press AUGSBURG ECHO STAFF Editor-in-Chief. .Maxgaret Nelson Feature Editor. . . . .Elnine Olson Sports Editor. .Norman Andemn Circulation Manager . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . ..

September 18. 1545 Greetings 1-" rom The Presidents THE SPIRITUAL RAMPABTS OF PEACE For the first time since the au- tumn of 1938 we are privileged to open a school year without be- ing overshadowed by the clouds of worldwide war. When classes closed last spring, perhaps few of us had faith to believe that the gift of peace would be granted us so soon; but now in the wondrous mercy of God it has come, All around the world the thunder of cannon and the crash of bombs have been stilled. The flags of battle are furled, and once more the nations are at peace. No words of ours can adequately ex— press the infinite gratitude that rises fram millions of hearts and homes for this priceless boon. Humbly would we echo the words of Joseph Auslander's “Prayer After Triumph": “In this grave hour of triumph Which Thy Hand, Lord, hath wrought. Humble us lest we forget The things for which we fought “Now having seen the horror Which hate can make men do, Keep clean the sword of freedom, Lord, And search our own hearts too. "When we have done with bat- tle, When drums and tramplings cease, Be with us then. and rouse in men As fierce a zeal for peace!" Rightly does the poet recognize that even a gift so wonderful. bought with the blood of millions, can be taken for granted if we do not earnestly prepare our hearts for its worthy reception. Surely it is fitting, therefore, that as we begin a new year of work at Augsburg, we ask ourselves quite pointedly: how shall we as Chris~ tian students and teachers worth- ily respond to the goodness of God shown to us this peace- bringing year of 1945'! There is. it seems to me, no more appropriate way to meet this obligation than, as suggested in Auslander's poem, to address ourselves to the tasks of peace with the same determination, the same spirit of sacrifice, the same unselfishness, with which our people, and especially our men in the Armed Forces. have given themselves to the tasks of war. And let no one imagine that this, too. will not require courage and noble endeavor. War, though by the transmuting grace of God it often accomplishes that which is good, is in itself an evil so great and so penetrating that its influ- ence tends to infect and pervert all human relationships. After we have been engaged in warfare for a number of years. it is exceed- ingly difiicult to look at our world and its problems from the point .of view of the Prince of Peace. Where propaganda and power have inflamed the pas- sions of hatred against whole na- tions, it becomes almost impos- sible even to understand clearly the simplest and clearest impli- cations of the command of Christ Gnoting— . (Continued on page 4) Dr. Bernhard Christensen Randolph Ouanbeck Welcome Welcome to Augsburg! These three words, so short yet full of meaning, express so very well that which we wish to say. The past summer has been a summer of great importance. The coming years will be no less so. The world is changing and chang- ing fast. Whether this change is to be good or bad depends on YOU. Christian men and women are needed in all professions; men and women who have a firm foundation in Jesus Christ. There is work for you to do and pre- paring yourself for this work is no less a part of the task. Prep- aration for a life work which leaves art Christ can end in only one way—failure. Yes, we are happy that you came to Augsburg and we sin- cerely hope that each one of you will feel too, that you are happy you came to Augsburg. Augsburq Offers New Courses This Year Additions to this year's curric- ulum include classes in business training, accounting. and home economics. Miss Vera Thorson will teach classes in shorthand and typing. Dr. B. J. Kleven will instruct the accounting class.

'47 Aug Back from Tri-Nation Tour How would you like to sport with royalty, walk in on the Olympics, or sleep in a blanket full of bugs on a concentration camp floor? It's not quite as impossible as it sounds, for Peg Bowlin, 1947 Auggie alumna, came back from a summer spent with 99 other students on the NSA Tri'Nation tour with a dozen tales like these. Since sailing ‘ ZWWWPW ’ What a time to write a column” Augsburg has finally won a foot: ball game and I'm still in school. Wonder what it would be like to win two games in one season? The girls Speaking of football (and why not?), the Auggie players found it hard to realize what winning a game feels like. Four squad members were so overcome they forgot their gear on the bus! Don’t have . The campus appears to be football conscious, at least the reSidents of Stanley Hall are. You should see them in Murphy Square! If they keep it up Bob Anderson will be in shape for playing football instead of managing the team. A chance I understand some of the Frosh girls were rehearsing for initiation at Freshman Camp. You can catch cold running around like that girls! Who knows, you may even catch a man?? I override It may be a little early for Homecoming Queens but the football squad has selected its candidate and will begin a campaign next week, If nothing else uQueenie" Erickson will be a different type of queen! Thdr “won’ls” The upperclass girls are man hunting! One of our own Auggie Tech girls was down at Smiley's looking over the Freshman male crop. One Freshman walked in and she said. “Well.” Close at his heels was a bigger and htawnier Fresh and she said, "And again I say well!—which makes a total of Well, Well!" Now I can use my legs to chase Frosh girls instead of running away from upperclass women. And umrun According to latest reports, the submarines are still making cruises up the river. Best you get down to Riverside soon and see them. You Freshman girls can ask any upperclassman; he will be only too happy to accompany you on the trip! I'm posh“! 'The football squad must have enjoyed the steaks they had after the ‘Kato game. At any rate most of them are still chewing them. Art Meyer said, “That cow must have won lots of blue ribbons—16 years ago!“ . (This filler Bert Sandbag, Augsburg‘s favorite scavangcr, finally came in first in something. The price of cats has gone up, hasn‘t it, Bert? I used to sell them for two bits. not five dollars; but, then I never included a girl with my purchase! fills the bills!) Looks like Stanley Hall is getting a plug in this column. Next Week, We will visit Morton—that is if I can get "Pee Wee" Baker out of the doorway! June 15 from Quebec, she has wound her way through The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, England, and can even boast the distinction of hav' ing planted a foot over the Ger' man border. Rationing in England is more severe today than it was in the United States during the war, but the people were still able to give the students a wonderful recep’ tion. The group visited Oxford, Cambridge, and Eaton, and on a tour of London saw Philip of the royal family, Visited the great palaces, and saw one of the early showings of “Hamlet,“ Peggy confessed that, “The Statue of Liberty was certainly a wonderful sight after t h r e e months," but now, teaching high school math at Windom, Minne' sota, she dreams only of the time she can go back to England, per' haps as an exchange teacher, and repeat her wonderful experiences. KICK-OFF OUTING Heading the list of activities that all students will want to take part in this year, is the Augsburg Luther League "Kickoff Outing" to be held at Taylors Falls and Balsam Lake, Wisconsin, in the afternoon and evening of Sunday, October 3. Tentative plans call for buses to leave from the Main Building at 1:30 in the afternoon,varriving at Taylors Falls about 3:00. Fol' lowing a two-hour planned rec— reation period, the Leaguers will be taken to a camp on Balsam Lake for supper, and an inspira' tional program sponsored by the P,T,L. Committee of the League. SCIence Building Rises The concrete framework of the fourth floor of the new Augsburg College Science building will be completed by December first act cording to Fred Harris, supervisor of the construction.

The pres' ent “caution'fee transfer" is as yet only a temporary arrangement and will be considered on a per' mancnt basis at an early meeting of the Student Council. This new plan consists of trans ferring the student's unused bal' ance of his caution fee to the treasury at the end of each semester. This amount is to be applied toward payment of a copy of the No other payment need be made if the caution fee is intact at the end of the year.

As your president I encourage you to get yourself well installed in the organizations of Augsburg They are meant for you and we want you in them. Our camp thcmc. uhich told us to “Look Upward!

Hockey and wrestling made their appearance for the first time since the war and the school also made a stab at speed- skating. The hockey team didn't fare so well, winning only one out of ten starts, but with a year‘s experience behind them they should do better next year. Our track team hasn‘t done too well but they are hampered by a lack of facilities and too few candidates. The Auggie golf team also has had a slow start and has not been too successful. Augsburg has been most successful in tennis and baseball. The tennis squad is currently tied for first place in the conference with the com, ing St. Thomas tussle deciding the state championship. The baseball team is currently in second place with an outside chance of captur- ing the state championship. It is expected that cross country running and probably boxing will be added to the athletic activities next fall and a new gymnasium~will add to the intra'mural facilities.

The membership of well over sixty was divided into six gospel teams. The teams were selected after a talent survey had been made among the members. Each team had a pianist. some vocal talent. and several speakers. Regular weekly meetings were held at the Gateway Gospel Mis' sion with a different team appear mg each time. For some of the members it was quite an ex, pcrit‘nce to contact some of the victims of sxn in their fallen con— dition. It was very encouraging to find that once in a while the Grace of God would be appro’ priated by one of the men and, according to the words of Paul. he would become a new creature in Christ jesus. The Eben r Old People‘s Home was visited several times. and it is with joy that we recall the visits there. Many hearts were warmed anew by the message of an old hymn or the rcadi g of a precious portion of Scripture.

GERMAN CLUB Sprechcn sic Deutsch? All pres— ent and former German students are cordially ‘n\‘llCd to join. It is the purpose of the German club to retain our German'born cul' ture on a non'pohtical basis and give students of the language a chance to practice it. The meetings are usually very interesting. lly with Dr. Ermisch as adv ser. Usually they include some entertainment in the German language. some in Amer' ican. and then a social hour. The highlights of last year were the Halloween Party and the Christ- mas Party in the Recreation Room a: Sivertscn Hall. peace and trust in the Lord were presented through the medium of song. It caused our hearts to breathe again a more sincere pray' er of Thanksgiving to God after seeing the plight of so many heavy'hearted and weary souls. The Society held monthly fela lowships at which time mission films were shown, and lives of great missionaries were reviewed by students. Each meeting was climaxed with an informal ses' sion with refreshments in “Chin Wag Corner." Plans have already been formu' lated for the Fall retreat in which our Society joins with the societies of St. Olaf. Concordia. Gustavus. Bethany College. St. Paul Bible Institute. and Swedish School of Nursing in a Weekend of fellow' ship and in s p i r i n g messages brought by men from various fields. This retreat is sponsored by the Student Missionary Conference of which all the above schools are members. Our local society is looking for ward to an even greater year of opportunities to perform deeds of mercy coupled with the message of the Grace of God all around us. We have several new pro, jects and we need to ask God now to prepare the way into these open doors. Auggies, Too, Play Politics If you are interested in the Re, publican Party. then this is the club for you. You will gain much knowledge of the American poli' tical situation and the problems facing the Republican Party. in particular. Current political issues were disc sed by prominent local Republi . . at the meetings. The meetings are held tw a month. One is a supper mee g and the other an evening meeting with a social hour following the discus sion. THE AUGSBURG ECHO Muse to Music Beginning in October of the new school year. “The Classic Hour" will be inaugurated. New and old Auggies will be able to sink into comfortable chairs. read, or just relax and listen to works of the mats ters performed by the top'notch artists and orchestras of the day. “The Classic Hour" will be presented twice weekly in the lounge of Old Main. The concerts will be presented during the noon hour one day a week and on Thursday evening from eight to nine‘thirty. The lounge will be so arranged as to provide the listener with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. If you are an Auggie who enjoys music at its best be sure to include “The Classic Hour" on your calendar of events. Special Singing Groups To Be Organized by Tuth Tentative plans have been made for the creation of two new mu— sical organizations at Augsburg. both to be directed by John Tuth. who joins the music faculty as a voice instructor this fall. First of these is an Oratorio Society. whose activity will in! clude the performance of several larger choral works outside the scope of a cappella choir music. Norse Students Add Zest to Club The presence of the many stu' dents from Norway gave extra punch to the meetings of the Norse Club during the past year. By monthly meetings the students attempt to r n interest in the language of the land of their fore! fathers. These programs included special speakers who stressed some phase of Nurse culture. musical numbers and group singing in Norwegian. Although Norwegian is spoken at the meetings. the [any grams have included both English and Norwegian. To be a member you should have some understanding of the language. If you have taken Norse in high school or college you will enjoy this fellowship with the Norskiesl Choir and Choral Club Expect Best Year Ever ‘ver in the history of Augsburg have we anticipated a brighter Mr. Tuth a veteran of many ora« torio performances. both as solo— ist and conductor, will bring to the Society the experience of many years of study. Present plans are that partici- pation in the Society shall be open to anyone, whether in the college or the seminary. on a volunteer' non'credit basis. More exclusive in character and devoted to the highest form of secular choral music will be the Madrigal Singers. While Mr. Tuth has not as yet indicated how large the ensemble will be. it is thought that not more than six; teen will comprise the group; and that although the voices will constitute a select group. the or' ganization will function on a vol— untcerrnontcrcdit basis. Rehearsals probably will not exceed one per week for either organization. Watch for announcements re' garding the formation of these groups! “A” CLUB ' The "A" club seems to promote a feeling of brotherhood between athletes by bringing them together for social affairs as well as on the athletic field. These meetings are usually in the form of a banquet. a steak fry, or picnic. All wear» ers of the honorable A are eligible for membership. Monday, September 15, 1947 [RC Keep: Up With the World With the world situation what it is today. there will be no scar- city of material for discussion. The International Relations Club aims to broaden their concept of present world conditions and trends leading up to them. Last year the club selected authv critics in various fields as guest speakers. Atomic energy con- trol, American relations, the Palestine situation. and the United Nations charter were among the topics discussed at the meetings. After the lecture and discussion period, a social period follows. The club meets every other Wed' nesday; some of these are supper meetings, the rest are evening meetings. May Re—organize Augsburg Orchestra uIf you played in your high school band or orchestra, bring your instrument with you to Augsburg!" This is the advice offered in- coming students. old and new. by Prof. Sateren, director of the col' lege‘s thriving band which. last year, boasted a membership of 53 and unusually well'rounded in« strumentation. Plans for the com» ing year call for a symphonic band of 75 members. thus afford' ing opportunities in almost every section of the organization. “We're especially interested in Woodwinds." stated Mr. Satcren. ubut good brasses and pcrcussions are always welcome too." It is hoped that work in instru' mental music will be expanded this fall to include orchestra. String players also are therefore encouraged to bring their instrur ments with them or, if having ex' perience but lacking an instru— ment. to indicate their interest in orchestra work with Mr. Saieren. “We would like to stage sev' eral choral—orchestra numbers this season." Mr. Sateren pointed out. "and for that reason. as well as for many others. we‘d like to es' tablish at least a good chamber orchestra." Registrations for band and or- chestra membership will be cont ducted during Freshman Week. future than this year." stated the Maestros Opseth and Sateren. when qmzzcd about plans for the 194748 Choir and Choral Club. tryouts for which are to be conducted during Freshman Week. “Not only do we expect the return of an excellent nucleus for each organiza' tion." they continued. “but indications are that a great deal of superior material will be found in the Freshman class.“ Thus the prophecy of the directors of the two large a cappella choirs at Augsburg. Composed of fifty selected voices each, the Choir and the Choral Club maintain a singing tradition at Augsburg spanning over a half century of activity in the field of sacred choral music. The Choir is under the direction of Prof. Henry P. Opseth. who this year com— pletes 25 years as head of the Music Department; while the prepara' tory choir. the Choral Club. is maestroed by Prof. Leland B. Sateren. member of the music faculty and composer of note. Offering participants the opportunity of singing for the pleasure it gives. the organizations also serve as training centers for prospective teachers and directors of music. While the groups present joint performances during the school year (usually beginning with the gala Homecoming concert). each has its own schedule of activities as well. ranging from “chapel sings" to ex’ tended concert tours. During the 194647 season. Prof. Opseth and the Choir travelled as far south as Kansas and east to Chicago on a zofoncen jaunt, while Prof. Sateren and the Choral Club made a similar number of appearances on a tour of the northwest. Membership in the organizations is based upon competitive voice tryouts, musical aptitude, vocal experience. character. personality. and scholastic standing. Open to all registered college students, Choir or Choral Club may be taken for or without credit. The weekly schedule includes a minimum of three full and two sectional rehearsals.
