The, cAAAqfibwig ScAo Volume 51 Augsburg College. Thursday, October 17, 1946 Number 1 Like a host of other colleges in our country, Augsburg stands at the beginning of a year of unmeasured opportunity and challenge. Our hearts are filled with gratitude to God that hundreds of our men and women, after years with the Armed Forces, have been permitted to return and renew their work among us on the campus. And with them have come other hundreds—young, eager, hungry for life and education. While peace on earth is still not an actual reality there is afforded a new opportunity for thoughtful men today to study the ways in which the seeds of an enduring peace may most effectively be planted in the war-scarred soil of the world. Thus another hour of great opportunity has come for the Christian College and Seminary. As students and teachers we can fritter it away if we give our time and strength to insignificant things. But we can also seize its challenge with creative vision and self dedication in the power of the Spirit of God. Let each of us at Augsburg approach his task humbly, reverently, but with a bold faith that through us Almighty God can accomplish some part of that Will whereby man may be saved from the consequences of his own ignorance, folly and sin! Because of the swift development of science and technology as yet uncontrolled by the Spirit of Christ mankind now lives and works in the shadows of eternity. Perhaps also among us there walk today some who will be entrusted with mighty keys of power for the solution of humanity's problems. Some keys are surely entrusted to each of us. God achieves His ends through the cooperation of man. The knowledge of this is what casts a strange glow of possibility and promise over all our endeavors, also at Augsburg as the seventy-eighth school year opens. Welcome and good wishes for the year to each one! Bernhard Christensen Myrvik Heads August Opera During the summer months a group of seventy-five Auggies calling themselves Ihe Augsburg Players, met on campus twice weekly to practice, play and polish the fine points of their production, Martha, given at Folwell Junior High School, August 29- 30. This production—a light opera —was managed by Norman Myrvik and directed by Prof. Opseth. Miss Alice Murray was dramatic director and Paul Kilde was stage manager. Leading roles were played by Paul and Marcella Kilde, Adelyne Johnson, Norman Myrvik, and Russell Quanbeck. Enthusiastic audiences filled the auditorium at both performances, and the Players also presented the opera before the patients at the Veterans Hospital. Profits of the enterprise have been given to the Augsburg organ fund. New Instructors Added to Staff Ready to welcome the record student body is an enlarged staff 'of 47 men and women, 18 new professors, instructors, and graduate assistants to help instruct the 700 students enrolled. The increased faculty includes Miss Jeanette Anderson, Speech; Miss Othelia Gjevre, English; Miss Carol Hermansen, Physical Education for women; Dr. Lawrence M. Jones, Chemistry; Miss Martha Kilen, Assistant Librarian; Mr. Clayton Le Fevere, Coach of Debate and Oratory; Dr. Shirley Miller, Biology and Anatomy; Mr. Edor C.

Sateren are returning to Augsburg after some years' absence. A number of additons have also been made to the office staff to help take care of the record enrollment. Augsburg Women's Club Has First Meeting The first meeting of the Augsburg College Women's Club was held Tuesday, October 8th. Dr. Gaylord Anderson, Mayo Professor and Director, University of Minnesota, spoke on "Polio and Research in Polio." Established five years ago, the Augsburg College Women's Club has, among its activities, established a student loan and scholarship fund. This fund is kept operating through the work of the club members. This year a workshop has been set up on the second floor of Old Main under the direction of Mrs. H. P. Opseth. The members of the Women's Club meet here every week to make various articles, some of which are now on display in the showcase on the ground floor of Old Main. Miss Gerda Mortensen, president of the Women's Club, extends a cordial invitation to all women of the Augsburg family to attend the meetings, held the second Tuesday of each month. The Workshop is open every Thursday and handicraft articles are for sale. Varied Programs For Convocation First Semester Speakers from many fields will be featured at the first semester convocations, according to the faculty committee composed of Miss Alma Jensen, Rev. Iver Olson, and Mrs. Marion Lindemann. A series of Thursday morning programs have been arranged. Mr. Gideon Seymour, Editor of the Minneapolis Star, spoke here October 3rd. On October 17th, Dr. Walter Judd, formerly a medical missionary and now Congressman from the 5th Minnesota District, will address the student body. Dr. Theodore Blegen, Dean of the Graduate School at the University, will be the speaker for the November 14th convocation. Dr. Blegen is an Augsburg graduate. Miss Leona Schuneman, Dr. Harold Deutsch, and the Jordan Junior High School Choir are scheduled to appear here during the month of December. Mr. Luther Youngdahl, Dr. Wil- lard Goslin, Dr. Arthur Larson, and Mrs. A. C. Krey will be guests at convocation periods. The dates they will appear will be announced in the near future. Convocation is held every Thursday morning during the fourth period, and every student is urged to attend or listen to the programs. The new public address system will enable everyone to participate.

ATTENTION AUGGIES OLD AND NEW 1946 HOMECOMING DATES ARE OCTOBER 24 TO 27 Registration is now over, and Augsburg is confronted with the problem of handling the largest enrollment in all of it's 78 years. The statistics are not yet available, but it is estimated that over 350 freshmen have been registered for the fall term. The influx of knowledge-seeking veterans provided for under the GI Bill of Rights has increased attendance at all Minnesota colleges, and Augsburg is no exception, having well over 70C students enrolled. Previously, the high in attendance at Augsburg was during the years 1941-42, when 497 students were enrolled. The increase of enrollment presents many problems to a college which cannot immediately expand materially. One of the foremost of these has been the need for additional classroom space. This situation has been partially remedied by the provision of a number of classrooms in Riverside Chapel. The Theological lecture room in the Main Hall, and the recreation room at Sivertsen Hall will be used as study halls in addition to the library. Classrooms in Old Main which have long stood empty are again being used, and the all-around crowd- edness on and about the campus is but an evidence of the growing pains of a greater Augsburg. Mission Farm Retreat Ends Freshman Week Freshman week activities were climaxed by a week-end retreat at Medicine Lake. The purpose of the "Frosh Camp" was to give new students an opportunity to learn to know each other, to become acquainted with various student organizations, and to provide a period of physical recreation and spiritual inspiration. Five busses filled with freshmen left the campus on Saturday afternoon, arriving at the Medicine Lake Camp early enough to provide several hours of recreational activity. The evening assembly was designed to introduce freshmen to various campus organizations, and their leaders. Immediately after dismissal of the meeting, Iver Sonnack led the group in a "Bonfire Sing." Sunday's program began at 7 o'clock when Dr. Stensvaag spoke to the Freshmen at the Sunrise Service. The morning worship service was conducted by Dr. Christensen, who presented a challenge to freshmen as well as extending a welcome. The "camp choir," directed by Prof. Opseth, sang. Rainy weather limited the remainder of the program to indoor activity and the freshmen returned to the campus on Sunday evening. Attend Chapd
