7ke, cAuqbbusig Echo Volume 53 Augsburg College, Friday, October 24, 1947 Number 4 GLORIA GREGUSON IS QUEEN TEACHERS RIDE So what if you get scared out of your wits by a silent two- wheeled organism creping up behind you! So what if you jump a mile when someone whizzes by you at night! If Yale professors can do it, Augsburg professors can do it better. Perhaps some of the less observant of you have not noticed Mr. Sateren and Mr. Olson pedalling around on their bicycles. If you haven't, try hanging around the campus at night to catch a glimpse of Mr. Sateren come flying across Murphy Square. Mr. Olson's young son has taken over the ownership of his father's bike, so if you weren't around this summer the sight of that philosopher profoundly wheeling around is lost to you. Professors Olson and Sateren are very vociferous in their praise of bicycles. "No parking problem," explains Mr. Olson. "Cheaper and faster!" expounds Mr. Sateren, "And what's more I can carry my young son around in the basket." Miss Ruth Segolson, head of the Home Economics department, represented Augsburg College at the State Home Economics Convention at Fergus Falls on Saturday, October 18. Faculty Council Solves Problems Faculty members as well as the student body need someone to help them out when" problems confront them. This year Augsburg's faculty has formed a faculty council which will take care of much routine work. As everyone knows, the Student Council handles all complaints that arise among the students. The Faculty Council's duty is to make decisions. For example, if the deans have a new plan for counseling students they present it to the council for approval. The Faculty Council can approve the new method or add other suggestions of their own, after which the plan can be put into effect. Twenty-five representatives, six from each class and one Seminary student, are members of the Student Council. The faculty council consists of twelve members who represent the various fields of study. Dr. Arthur Nash, the dean of the college, is the presiding officer at all meetings. Among the faculty there is a tuling that no one can serve on the council more than three years consecutively. All students are invited to attend the student council meetings which are held evei y Tuesday. Dreaming of a crown—This trio of pulchritude and personality, namely: Dorothy Quanbeck, Gloria Greguson, and Betty Westphal, are no longer just coeds of Auggie Tech but the Queen and her attendants for the 1947 Homecoming. Eighth hour on Thursdays has been set aside for the Faculty Council's meetinga, which are closed sessions. The Faculty Council has already helped the faculty in various ways, and during the remainder of this year the council will take quite a load off the shoulders of the faculty. L R. C. Has Indian Speaker Keeping abreast of international affairs are the alert members of Bob Duoos' I.R.C. who last week had the privilege of hearing views on India's position today by Mihir Nanda, now studying at the University. "Although it looks pessimistic, I'm certain that Pakistan and the rest of India will become a Federated India formed of its present two independent states." Mihir Nanda told I.R.C. members at the meeting held Wednesday, October 8. He based his opinion on the fact that the government of India during the past five years has done much planning in the fields of agriculture, industry, and education. Nanda himself U one of the many thousands of students sent out each year to train for some specific profession and then return to India and give service in the government for five years. He said that there is more freedom than ever for Christian missionaries and that India wants missionaries who will teach peo ple in the line of engineering, medicine, and education. Professor Kildahl is advisor of the club which is organized to acquaint students with international situations and problems. COKE MACHINE AT SIVERTSEN At their last business meeting the girls at Sivertsen Hall decided to nave a coke machine installed in the recreation room. The profits will be 25c on every case of coke—provided all the bottles are returned. There were many suggestions as to how the profits would be spent. One suggested that a pencil sharpener be bought, another a grand piano—it's all a matter of opinion.

Movie Projector Added to School Fquipment Now As time marches on, Augsburg goes right along with it. The college has added as its latest addition the Bell and Howell Movie Projector to be used for visual education in any class. All departments and members of the faculty will have the new sound and projection machine for their use. Rules are that it must be used only on the campus. Every type of film c;<n be obtained for showing. Films for veterans on "How to Budget Your Money" orientation, and many others will be shown. Mr. Urdahl has stated that every movie should be scheduled through his office. He has the file of films to be chosen from and he will arrange for someone to run the projector. Two freshman boys, David and Donald Siegel, will be the opera* tors. They have had several years experience at the Y.M.C.A. in Minneapolis. Dark curtains have been obtained for the chapel. The showings will be made in there so as to accommodate more students. Peggy Bowlin was elected secretary of the Minnesota region of the National Student Association last September. Elsewhere in this paper she puts the aims of the Association before the Augsburg Community.

GLORIA GREGUSON IS QUEEN
TEACHERS RIDE
So what if you get scared out
of your wits by a silent two-
wheeled organism creping up behind you! So what if you jump a
mile when someone whizzes by
you at night! If Yale professors
can do it, Augsburg professors can
do it better.
Perhaps some of the less observant of you have not noticed Mr.
Sateren and Mr. Olson pedalling
around on their bicycles. If you
haven't, try hanging around the
campus at night to catch a glimpse
of Mr. Sateren come flying across
Murphy Square. Mr. Olson's
young son has taken over the
ownership of his father's bike, so
if you weren't around this summer the sight of that philosopher
profoundly wheeling around is
lost to you.
Professors Olson and Sateren
are very vociferous in their praise
of bicycles. "No parking problem," explains Mr. Olson. "Cheaper and faster!" expounds Mr. Sateren, "And what's more I can
carry my young son around in
the basket."
Miss Ruth Segolson, head of
the Home Economics department,
represented Augsburg College at
the State Home Economics Convention at Fergus Falls on Saturday, October 18.
Faculty Council
Solves Problems
Faculty members as well as the
student body need someone to
help them out when" problems
confront them. This year Augsburg's faculty has formed a faculty council which will take care
of much routine work.
As everyone knows, the Student Council handles all complaints that arise among the students. The Faculty Council's duty
is to make decisions. For example,
if the deans have a new plan for
counseling students they present
it to the council for approval. The
Faculty Council can approve the
new method or add other suggestions of their own, after which
the plan can be put into effect.
Twenty-five representatives, six
from each class and one Seminary
student, are members of the Student Council. The faculty council consists of twelve members
who represent the various fields
of study.
Dr. Arthur Nash, the dean of
the college, is the presiding officer at all meetings. Among the
faculty there is a tuling that no
one can serve on the council more
than three years consecutively.
All students are invited to attend the student council meetings
which are held evei y Tuesday.
Dreaming of a crown—This trio of pulchritude and personality, namely:
Dorothy Quanbeck, Gloria Greguson, and Betty Westphal, are no longer
just coeds of Auggie Tech but the Queen and her attendants for the 1947
Homecoming.
Eighth hour on Thursdays has
been set aside for the Faculty
Council's meetinga, which are
closed sessions.
The Faculty Council has already helped the faculty in various ways, and during the remainder of this year the council will
take quite a load off the shoulders
of the faculty.
L R. C. Has Indian Speaker

Duoos' I.R.C. who last week had the privilege of hearing views on India's
