Mr. Boddie's talk is scheduled for 9:25 a. m. on Friday, Feb. 17. Zealous to help mankincP attain more effective relationships, he devotes his efforts to helping peoples of all faiths to live to-gether in harmony and under-standing. For his contribution to racial relations in Huntington, West Virginia, he was cited as Man of the Week in that city. In Rochester, New York, he was se-lected by the editors of that city's Democrat & Chronicle as Man of the Week "for personal effort in the service of his fellow citizens above and beyond the call of or-dinary duty."

He is the author of two books, A Giant in the Earth and The Biblical Basis of the Negro Spiritual and of numerous articles in profession-al journals. Understands Humans His talks on effective human re-lations are always beautiful in their simplicity, humble in their earnestness and powerful in their impact.

LSAction Group Sets $1000 Goal Serving as an aftermath to Augustana's Mission Days which continue through to-morrow will be the advent of a Mission Offering Drive for funds to aid foreign students through LSAction. The drive begins Wednesday and con-tinues through Feb. 22. Four foreign missionaries currently speaking on cam-pus are serving to illuminate the need for physical and spiritual help to young stu-dents the world over. During the second semester of each school year, college and university students from campus-es all over the United States and Canada strive together to meet some of these needs. Augie Share $1000 More than 100 solicitors have volunteered to help in contacting every Augie student and faculty member in an effort to raise Au-gustana's $1000 portion of the $23,300 needed to properly further the LSAction plan for this year. A breakdown of the total goes as follows: seminaries: Brazil and India ($1000); foreign stu-dent scholarships ($1204); Ash-ram expenses for foreign guests ($1200); Chinese Student Worker ($2400) ; United Student Chris-tian Council ($2500); German Student Worker ($5000); World Student 'Christian Federation ($7500) ; and for the contingent fund to carry out the program ($1500). Money, will be used for such worthy causes as the provision of a staff and headquarters for the Studentengemeinde, a German student Christian movement in that country. Chinese students will be brought to this country for educational training. Free Ashram Trip Other student scholarships are planned. If the foreign student comes to this country to study he will be invited to attend the na-tional Ashram, expense free. Young men of Brazil and India who are preparing for the minis-try will receive some aid from this Mission offering. Library facilities will be increased in this respect. Food and other physical neces-sities will be provided to many foreign missionary fields through funds raised in this drive. Every Student Contacted During the week of the drive every Augie student and faculty member will be contacted by one of the student solicitors and given a chance to give to this cause. Student drive director Gerrit Van Hunnik asks that when ap-proached the donator should not give only that Augustana may top her goal, but that he be thinking also in terms of what his gift will do for students throughout the world who so desperately need help.
