Women’s Self Government Association is an association of all the girls enrolled at Augsburg College. The purpose of this organization is to create a sense of unity and fellowship among the women; to promote and maintain the highest standards of Christian conduct; and to regulate all matters of student government not falling under the jurisdiction of the Dean of Women. The various committees of this organization fall, according to the function, into two heads: the executive and house committees for governmental purposes, and the entertainment, athletics, and religious committees for social purposes. The athletics committee has arranged for basket-ball games, hikes, and other outdoor sports thruout the year. The religious committee has had charge of the Friday evening prayer meet- ings and the daily “Morning Watch.” The entertainment committee has likewise been busy in its scope of social activity. Frequent “Open I louses” have been held on Saturday evenings. Spe- cial groups have also been entertained from time to time. There was a banquet given in honor of the basket-ball teams at the termination of the season, and a reception for the Glee Club after their return from the tour. 'file W. S. G. A., with its varied interests, endeavors, and responsibilities, fills an important place in the life of the girls here at school. PACK TWKNTV-XINT.

The student body was divided into eight teams, with Olga Swenson, Gilbert Almquist, Clement I.eesland, Bernhard Christensen, Edwin Johnson, Carl Ostby, Kenneth Torvik, and Minnie Wold as captains. To stimulate competition among the different teams, the honor of having its picture in the Augsburgian was offered as a prize to the winning team. After a short intensive campaign the final results were posted, which showed that Edwin Johnson’s team had secured an undis- putable lead by subscribing for 375 copies out of 1,010, the total number sub- scribed. This plan of selling the Augsburgian has proven highly successful. Xot only does it insure more subscriptions by creating rivalry among the teams, but it also makes it possible to reach practically every district in the Free Church by placing the responsibility for the Augsburgian directly on the student body. We are glad to say that the campaign was successful this year also, thanks to the splendid spirit of cooperation that the students showed. PARK TWKNTY-KICIIT

Fossa x The Augsburg Academy Club TTHE ACADEMY CLUB is, as is stated in our constitution, “an organization to create, maintain, and extend thruout the school high standards of Christian character; to bring about a closer fellowship among the students and to promote more effectively the various student activities.” The Academy Club is an entirely new enterprise at Augsburg. Previous to this year the Academy had no social organization of any kind; hence, activities in this division were practically dormant. In former years wc have stood aside and watched the other divisions of our school functioning. We looked forward to the time when we would graduate from the Academy so wc could start doing things by ourselves and utilize our initiative powers. 'Phis year, however, the tables have been turned. After the organization of our splendid club, we wish we might remain in the Academy for a longer time. There seems so much wc could do, and should do. In fact, it seems as though every time we do something to better the Academy we are rewarded by another opportunity for further improvements. I know my readers would be deeply interested in learning in detail about the accomplishments, endeavors, and sincere hopes of the Academy Club. I might begin by describing its officers and their respective duties. When wc organized the Club, we broke away from the old form of having a president, secretary, and treasurer. Instead we have copied our federal govern- ment and, therefore, our officers consist only of the president and his cabinet of nine members. The Financial Secretary functions as treasurer of the club. His duty is to collect the club fees and also to obtain money from other sources. As an ex- I’AOE THIRTY
