Problems Come, Problems Go,
For 'God Is the Answer to All7
What are you doing for Spiritual Emphasis Week? Not everyone can deliver
stirring sermons, but everyone can pray and
know that they will be heard and answered.
Pray for Spiritual Emphasis Week which
as_ be from March 5 through March 9.
The theme is "God is the Answer." May
many Auggies  find  that God  is  the  answer
What's in a Name?
'Nick', That Is
A rose by any other name would smell
as sweet. . .or would it? This idea nowadays that you can't call a person by the
name his parents gave him is becoming increasingly popular.
ft I can start out with the old standbys:
Egor Madryga and Butch, Nails Norton.
Now what newcomer to Augsburg would
ever imagine that these boys had such names
as Robert and John, respectively7 Then
there's Egor's boy, Muns. He's called Paul
Munson to his less intimate friends. Of
course, there will always be some PeeWee's
on campus and we have our share.
Don Eckhoff has an original one svith
Bones. Floor ants (Florence) Helland prefers Flea to the more conventional names.
Along with that we have Jeanine Torsten-
son under the alias of Nini. Due to certain
recent juke-box releases, Martha Bozo Bo-
zony has become Marsha (with a sigh) for
John   (another  sigh)   Leak.
Jack Ott becomes some character with his
Otto Von Shmotte. Then distinctively we
have Smiles tacked on Bob Ott. Only Dick
Pearson can claim Mutton-Head. Could it
be because he's such a little lamb? On to
Micks as Charles Gustafson and everybody's
Pal, Bob Hage. Avis Peterson acquired Inga
when school started and she met Coco and
Sammy, actually Colette Peterson and Phyllis Samso.
What with our Fleas, Nails, Bones, Smiles,
Hicks, (excuse us) Marshas and Johns, we
can't forget the Freezers!
to everything. May hypocrisy be replaced
by true,  living, witnessing faith.
Special evangelistic meetings will be held
every evening during the week. Rev. Walstad
will be the speaker.
Spiritual Emphasis Weeks have always
been times of crisis at Augsburg. Some are
called to a new life, and some are called
to  the  ministry or the  mission  field.
Maybe you will not be called to serve in
that manner, but your presence at the meetings may bring your friends, who may be.
Urge  everyone  to  attend.
Attend the prayer meetings too. They
will be held in the mornings and in the
evenings.
On Saturday evening, March 10, there
will be a meeting in the chapel. There will
be an opportunity to share the blessings
received from the week both through hearing  and  taking part in  personal testimonies.
Every week should have spiritual emphasis.
After a week of receiving many blessings,
you may feel exalted, but let your attitude
be one that will not change after that feeling leaves you. That, too, can be accomplished only by prayers.
WHAT IS THE ANSWER FOR ALL
PROBLEMS?
1 care not it God is on my side. My constant hope and prayer is that 1 may be found
or. the side of God
Publications to Present
'51 Variety Show
Everyone is invited to the Variety Show
which is being held in the Music building on
Saturday, March 17th. There will be no admission charged, and therefore a very large
crowd is expected.
The publications department is putting
this show on in appreciation for the number
of subscriptions received from the students
and for the number of subscriptions they
hope to receive during Easter vacation. This
is a send off to arouse the enthusiasm of people to sell magazines during their vacation.
That week will be a wonderful opportunity
lor all students to contact their friends and
relatives, and obtain subscriptions from them.
The money from these subscriptions is
to be used by the publications department
in financing the Augsburgian and Echo,
which are much in  debt
