New head librarian, Karlis Ozolins, lias introduced a new approach to library service. He, Mrs. Parker, and Miss I.eer have expressed the feeling that it is important to give as much service and help as they can to the students. Auto- mation has come to the library, and the personal help of the library staff can overcome the impersonal feeling one may get. Mr. Ozolins received his master’s degree in library science from the University this year. Miss Leer, assistant librarian, is also furthering her studies at the University. Miss Tangjerd, former librarian, after taking special training in archives work has begun to reorganize the Augsburg Archives. A corner of the second floor of the library has been con- verted into a devotional reading space. The comfortable chairs, the easy atmosphere, and the devotional books were made possible by a fund given in memory of Rev. Charles A. Crouch.

Miss Bertha Lillchci Grier Nicholl English Everyone has to take some course in English. Therefore, the English Department has the unique problem, and privilege, of dealing with all students and attempting to create both an in- terest and an appreciation of literature. Requirements for English credits were radically changed this year, and each student is now required to take three semes- ters of English instead of the previous two required. Several new courses such as Modern Fiction and Modern Drama were added to the course outline, and several new faces were added to the faculty. Among the activities of the English Department this year were several conferences, some of which included both student and faculty participation. Miss Anno Pederson Dr. Gerald Thorson.

 Edwin Snugestad Mrs. LaVonne Peterson I Howard Pearson Physical Education lite transition from the ‘‘old barn” to the new modern gym has excited the whole campus—including the phy. cd. faculty. No more squabbling over who gets to use the gym. The men will no longer pull rank over the women. We have three gym floors now. No more searching for some place to hold social functions, convoca- tions, and other activities. Plenty of room in the new gym. For twenty-six years Augsburg teams have been playing at the Armory. Now, the echoes of an Augsburg cheer resounding from the rafters of our new gym will be an inspiration to our team. During the transition from the old to the new gym physical education activities were held at Pillsbury Citizens Service, and at the reconverted National l ea.
