Field, Tetlie Speak During Wm 4u- Religious Emphasis Week With the Rev. Joseph Tetlie, MIRROR pastor of the Lutheran church at Madison, Minnesota, as the initial speaker on the program, Religious Emphasis week was opened Sun-day night at LSU in Old Main chapel. Using the verse, "We know and believe the love which God has in us," Rev. Tetlie stress-ed the importance of realizing that God's love for us is a personal and individual love. Dr. Clemens M. Granskou led in a hymn sing, and a boys' quar-tet sang several selections. De-votions were led by Leon Holm. The mission and social problems interest groups met, with Rev. Tetlie and Dr. Martin Cole lead-ing the discussions. Tetlie Was Rhodes Scholar Rev. Tetlie, a graduate of St. Olaf college, was a Rhodes Scholar, thereby studying for sev-eral years at Oxford university in England. From 1917 to 1922 he served the N. L. C. A. as foreign missionary in China. Because of the sudden death of Rev. Tetlie's mother, his last message was heard during the Monday -morning chapel service. His text, "Him that cometh unto me, I will in no way cast out," portrayed Christ's enthusiasm for righteousness and His abhorance of evil. Field Is Second Guest Speaker Monday night Prof. L. N. Field of Decorah, Iowa, was introduced as the second guest speaker of this week. Following devotions led by Paul Olson, and several hymns, Prof. Field spoke on "Partnership with Christ: How to Attain It." His three main points were centered around (1) a ser-ious heart, (2) a vision and an up-ward look, and (3) courage to follow-up. G. I. Our first attempt to gather material from our alumni now in the services was not too terribly successful but we did glean a few slim pickings which might be of interest to you. * * * * * From the Pacific comes word from Corp. Barney Boos. Dated Nov. 4, he writes: I am in the Solomon Islands - Tulagi - Guadalcanal area. Have been here since August 7th. There is very little I can write, but you can depend on the Marines. You can believe all of the American reports on the war, but don't believe any of the Jap propoganda - it's false. I will be back to Augustana when it's over and give you the dope personally — I hope. Barney Boos Lightening Marine Force. * * * * * Lt. Orval Mickelson writes from England and the 409th bombing squadron, that he is now "pal-ing" with Lt. Deb Hall, for-mer Augustana fullback extroard-inary, and Sgt. Morris Kocken-derfer, ex-Augustana student body president and track star. * * * * * Spotted on the campus, home on leave: Bruce (Shovel) Cole, Maurice Johnson from Fort Sill, Don Borneman of the Merchant Marines, Orean Winge, Dr. Arnold Thompson (Hanley's brother), Junis Lovseth (Percy's brother), Mary Strahon of the WAAC's. * * * * * If anyone has any correspon-dence with former Augustanans, we would certainly like to have a chance to read the letters and pick out the juicies bits. Or if you fel-lows now wearing a uniform who read the Mirror have anything you would like to say, write us. Will you? Rev. Joseph Tetlie Tuesday evening's devotions were led by Phyllis Larson with two vocal solos as special music. Prof. Field continued his message on "Partnership with Christ" in the heart and soul, in the home, and in the church. Following this meeting he led an interesting dis-cussion at the regular weekly fellowship hour. Field Emphasizes Friendship Prof. Field's last talk, given Wednesday - morning, was based upon "Friendship with Christ." As Christians it is our duty to be friendly and kind toward all, whether they be Christians or not. A classmate of Dr. Granskou's and a graduate of St. Olaf college, Prof. Field is now Dean of Re-ligion at Luther college. He also teaches several subjects in con-nection with church music. Before coming to Luther, he served in the Lutheran church at Kalispell, Montana. Sociological Movie To Be Shown Here Of interest to many students are the motion pictures being shown in Old Main chapel tonight at 7:00. Pictures of social case work in surrounding communities will be shown under the sponsor-ship of the sociology department of Augustana directed by Pro-fessor A. T. Tollevs. C. R. Lindquist, secretary of the Luther Welfare Society of Iowa, will be in charge_ of the program. He is to be assisted by two Augustana graduates, Miss Ida Roren and Miss Maglene Ber-dahl. There was a WAAC on the campus and she was right at home. Lt. Mary Strahon, '37 Augie grad, was here on a ten day leave and it seems she couldn't resist a visit to her alma mater. She al-ways ended in Hugo Carlson's of-fice though, where she came to talk over school days and also divulge the events of her WAACy career. When Lt. Strahon returns to Washington, D. C. and the Ad-jutant General's School it will be to become the only individual WAAC assigned to a permanent station. There she will be in the editorial department helping to write a textbook on "Pre-Induc-tion to Army Administration" for high schools. Talking about her gradua-ting class at the Adjutant General's School, she remark-ed that Lt. Col. Tim McCoy of cowboy fame was her class president, and she banqueted Stamp Sales Once a Week Students now have a chance to show their patriotism in no in-definite terms. War stamps have gone on sale on the Augustana campus and will be available in the Ad building every Wednesday from now on. According to Harold Houske, head of the stamps and bonds committe, the first sale a week ago Wednesday only netted $17.60 but as it was unannounced, it was a fair total. The highest individual purchase was made by John Al-dern with a close second being the joint purchase made by Elsa-maire Nordquist and Gordon Thune. To help swell the total, the Toastmasters are buying war stamp corsages to give to their dates for the formal initiation banquet. Another activity of the Student War Council is the furnishing of Augie talent for Tuesday night shows at the Post in cooperation with Jane Feeley of the Soldier's Service Club. Recent contribu-tions included music by Mar-ciene Swenson, Dorothy Ann Wheeler, Betty Brumbaugh, and the Varsettes, and readings by Bob Snook. On the schedule for this week are also two programs for the Instructor's Club and their Auxiliary. South American Aid IRC Discussion Topic "Is the stake the United States is pouring into South America worth the effort?" was the bone of contention of a panel and later a table discussion at the regular bi-weekly meeting of the Inter-national Relations club held in the Huddle Tuesday, November 24. The subject was introduced by Percy Kirkeby, followed by spea-kers Virgil Johnson and Fred Jel-sema and an open discussion. Lunch was served. The next regu-lar meeting is set for December 8. with and received her dip-loma from Col. Culp-Hobby, the WAAC commander. Embarrassing moments became the topic of conversation, and Lt. Strahon proved conclusively that hers were experienced when she was issued her clothing. But she was not alone, because the quar-termaster had to hand them to her and it was something new for him. However, the clothing certainly added up to a snappy and flatter-ing whole. Lt. Strahon was wear-ing a "dress pink" skirt which looked very grey to Hugo (color blind? No, just G. I.), an olive drab officers jacket, a kahki shirt and tie, and the WAAC hat fash-ioned after the old French army style. On her lapels she had two brass replicas of Pallas Athene, goddess of victory, which is the WAAC insignia. Lt. Strahon has found friends and fellow alumnae Choir Expects Busy December For its second appearance of the year, the Augustana a cappella choir under the direction of Dr. Carl R. Youngdahl will entertain the Sioux Falls Rotary Club at a luncheon in the Huddle on December 10. A full hour's pro-gram will be given including numbers by the entire choir and by the two trios, the Varsettes and The Three Keys. On December 13 the choir will present its annual Christmas ves-pers in the gymnasium. The pro-gram will begin at 5:30 and is free to the public. Next on the program for the choir will be a Christmas concert given at the state penitentiary on December 20 at 8:30 A. M. Closing the announcements made of the choir's plan by Dr. Edwin Gunberg, manager, was the mention of a second performance of the Christmas vespers to be given at the Air Force Technical School on December 21. in Washington. Marie Kehrer is a bunk mate and Betty Goldsmith is in a Red Cross recreation corps there. Marie was her roommate before, when they were both working in St. Paul. Everyone has their bright re-marks, and judging from the con-versation, Mary is no exception. Speaking to an Officers Candidate class, she opened the discussion to questions and some student in the back of the auditorium asked, "Can I date a WAAC?" to which Lt. Strahon answered, "No, not until you are commissioned." When she discovered that the "student" was the officer in com-mand of the school, Mary coun-tered with, "Yes, you may, come around some time." Quick think-ing, eh? Another question was this; "Have WAACs had any training in arms so they can protect them-selves?" Lt. Strahon answered negatively. How about that? The Augustana Symphony Or-chestra will present its fall con-cert in the gymnasium on Sunday, December 6, at 8:30 P. M. Adhering to his policy of ap-peal in program-building, Con-ductor Richard Guderyhan has developed a highly interesting prograni for this concert. The guest soloist will be Pvt. Harold Bemko, ATS, formerly of New York. Pvt. Bemko is a cellist of unusual talent and will per-form the "Boccherini Concerto" for violoncello and orchestra. Another high spot in the pro-gram is the Sibelius composition, "The Swan of Tumonela," featur-ing the solo for English Horn played by Beverly Kittleson. A number of former profession-al players from Sioux Falls Army Technical School will play in the orchestra at the invitation of the orchestra's conductor. Students of Augustana College are admitted on their privilege tickets. Pvt. Harold Bemko, soloist of the evening. Born in New York City, Feb. 1916, he started music study in high school. In 1937-38 he was awarded a fellowship at the Julliard Graduate school, studying the cello under Felix Salmond. In 1938 he was awarded the New York Philharmonic scholar-ship under Joseph Shuster. He held this scholarship for three years. He was awarded a private scholarship with Maurice Eisen-berg, former instructor of violon-cello at the Ecole Normale in Paris, in 1941. Pvt. Bemko con-tinued his studies under this scholarship until this year. Pvt. Bemko was awarded first prize in the New Jersey state artists contest in 1939, appeared as soloist with symphony orches-tras in the east and was first cell-ist with the National Orchestra Association in New York. For eight weeks prior to his in-duction into the army, he was cellist with Tommy Dorsey's or-chestra. eAt' Club Banquet Set For Saturday Augustana College plays host to its triumphant track and football teams Saturday, December 5 in a banquet at the college dining hall. The occasion is the celebra-tion of Augustana's brilliant first year record in the North Central Conference. The track team swept every meet it entered, taking the conference title in its initial bid. The 1942 Viking football machine won co-championship honors with Iowa Teachers in an undefeated and untied season. Acting as toastmaster, Reynold Anderson will introduce the main speaker of the evening, Howard Wood, veteran Washington High coach. Ray Sandvig, all-confer-ence end, will talk on behalf of the senior members of the squads. Names of letter winners will be announced and gold footballs are to be awarded to 20 gridmen.
