This week end sees them leave for extended tours of the country. THE ALC/BLC ECU© No. 11 Minneapolis, Minn., Friday, February 4, 1949 Vol. LIV Morgan Joins Chemistry Department; G. Thorson Resumes Pedagogue Duties Debaters Enter Tourney, Feb, 4 Auggie debaters have been having last minute night sessions to polish up their cases on the pro's and con's of Federal Aid to Education for the annual Red River Valley Debate Tourney at Concordia on Friday and Saturday, February 4 and 5. Representing Augsburg will be four teams composed of Robert Weagant, Vincent Hoversten, Allen Hanson, John Gissel, Arline Thorsen, Carolyn Greene, Delna Goertzen, and Helen Green. In the oratory division of the tournament, Carolyn Greene, winner of the Augsburg Oratorical Cup two weeks ago, will be Augsburg's entry in the women's division. Rudy Engelman and Bob Weagant will be entered in the men's division. Arline Thorsen and Bob Weagant will be the Auggie impromptu speakers in that phase of the speech meet. Mr. Fagre and Mr. Jensen will accompany the squads. With the return of Mr. Gerald Thorson, another addition has been made to the overcrowded teaching staff in the Augsburg English Department. Mr. Thorson, who will be teaching "Freshman English" and "Corrective English" this semester, graduated from Augsburg in 1943, and since then has been doing graduate work. During the past year, he has been attending the University of Wisconsin on a Scandinavian scholarship; however, he makes it clear that he "took English, too." The Chemistry Department, which has been understaffed in r.rrr.r,* recent years, has also been great- Mr. Pautz, Augsburg P. R. director, has been appointed by Mr. George Jensen, president of the Minneapolis Council of Civic Clubs, to a special committee to investigate how the Council of Civic Clubs might participate in the campaign to re-educate the public on merits of the American enterprise system. ly strengthened with the addition of two new teachers, Mr. Mani- vald Aldre, a D.P. from Estonia, and Mr. Perry Morgan from the University of Minnesota. Mr. Aldre was assistant to the Professor of Chemistry at the Estonian State University of Technology during 1941 and '42, and was doing research work until interrupted by the war. 350 Contribute $3,611 Three - hundred - fifty students gave a total of $3,611 in the Building Fund Drive held on the Augsburg campus from November 22 to December '13. A breakdown of the total reads $898 in the cash column and $2,713 in pledg Fund* from the ingathering will be used to equip student phases of the new Science building, and it is hoped that during the second semester, when students who haw contributed will be n the opportunity to do so, the goal of $6000 may be reached. The Seniors led the pack in money raised, with $1,205. Members of the Student Drives Committee, which promoted the mass Og, are Charlotte Erickson. Shirley Dahlen. Phyllis Erickson Quanbeck. Donna Wang, and Don Sand. R. Sverdrup Resigns asTreasurer A familiar face is soon to disappear from the Augsburg Treasurer's office. It is none other than the face of the treasurer herself, Miss Ragna Sverdrup, who has served in that capacity since 1912. Her resignation became effective January 20 but she will work full-time until the next Board of Trustees meeting in March. At that time a special occasion of recognition will be tendered for her long and faithful service. "Her work here has character- ized quiet and reserved efficiency," remarks President Christensen. "Especially did the students appreciate deeply her quiet friendliness and interest in their problems in those years before the increase of work took her more and more away from the students." Miss Sverdrup was the sole occupant of the office in 1912. Expansion of the office since then to the time of her resignation has necessitated the service of four full-time workers. Years of service to Augsburg runs in the Sverdrup family. Miss Sverdrup's father was president of Augsburg Seminary from 1876 to 1907. Her brother was also president from 1911 through Augsburg's metamorphasis into a full college, to the time of his death in 1938. Elected to fill the vacancy caused by her retirement is Mr. R. E. Myhre. a member and vice-president of the Board of Trustees since 1946. China Mission on Midweek Agenda The regular Midweek Service on Thursday evening, Feb. 17, will feature a special program on behalf of the "Lutheran Literature Society for China." Rev. Peder Konsterlie will conduct the program, which will include greetings and brief talks by three Chinese students, and three Americans who have spent a number of years on the China mission fields. Appearing on the program will be Marcy Ditmanson, Dora Wang, Daniel Chu, Lincoln Chao, Dr. Eric Sovik, and Dr. John Gronli. The program, which will be held in the Augsburg Chapel, beginning at 7:00 P. M., will be followed by an informal social hour in the college Dining Hall, at which time those attending will have the opportunity to meet the speakers and missionaries. "Christian Faith Objective" as Choir, Choral Club Tour Echoes will start reverberating back to Augsburg from communities pin-pointing the Northern mid-central map beginning this week-end, as the Augsburg College Choir and Choral Club commence their winter concert tours. From their Saturday evening concert at Madelia, Minnesota, the Choir will curve south through Minnesota and South Dakota and down as far as Wa- Russ Berg Heads Rights Committee on Aug Campus Minneapolis has a Mayor's Committee on Human Relations, (Dr. Bernhard Christensen is its chairman). Minnesota has a Governor's Inter-Racial Commission, (Governor Youngdahl is its chairman). The United States has a Civil Rights Commission, (which is currently the center of attention). And now—Augsburg Students have a Human Relations Committee. (Many colleges are setting up such commissions). This committee was organized last week when a group of Auggies met to discuss ways and means of (1) developing a greater concern among students for the problems of minorities in our country and (2) developing student leadership for making our American dream and Christian ideal of human brotherhood a greater reality. Russell Berg, Junior from Seattle, Washington, was made chairman of the committee, whose first project will be to sponsor a special program of events for Brotherhood Week, Feb. 7-14. Already plans are being laid for special chapel services, a special movie program, and other activities for this week. The committee plans to formulate a continuous program which can be integrated with the broader program and general Christian education practices of Augsburg College. terloo, Iowa, before twisting east to Rockford and on to Chicago, where it will do extensive recording. A quick circuit through Wisconsin will bring the group back to Minneapolis Sunday evening, February 20. The distinction of leaving the country falls to the Choral Club, who give their first concert in Duluth and reach the high point of their tour with a program in Winnepeg, Canada. The Choral Club returns m the Cities on Monday, February 14. Old hands at the tour business lay down three cardinal rules for novices: learn your music; take care of your tonsils; and don't try to take along any books, because they only get to be unused excess. Throughout the hard work and fun, however, the choirs never lose sight of their primary objective of presenting Christian faith in the most beautiful, sincere, and communicative settings. Augsburg College as a unit should follow these tours with prayer, with intense interest, and with enthusiasm. Encouragement in the form of letters and cards can be sent to the addresses detailed in the itineraries on the last page of this issue. « Look What's Comin'!
