KEEP LUTHERAN
CANTEEN GOING
Recreation Building Established
for s. A. r. C. Continues aG
AHgustana College.

One marked innovation at Angus
tana college as a result Of the war
is the continuance of Lutheran
Brotherhood activities among the
students. According to decision
by the brotherhood the canteen or
brotherhood building is to continue
as a rest and recreatlonal center
for the students Of the college.
Early last fall the Lutheran broth
erhood furnished and operated the
old gymnasium building as a can
teen for the men of the S. A. T. c.
unit. The building and activities
resembled those OF the Y. M. c. A.
At the close of hostilities and the
disbandment Of the army unit the
problem as to the disposal Of the
building presented itself to the au-
thorities. After consideration OF
the matter they decided to convert
the brotherhood building into q so
cial center for the college and it
now serves in that capacity. The
students Of the theological semfn-
airy operate the counter, where
sweets, newspapers, college papers
and numerous other articles are
sold.
The canteen opens at O'Clock in
the afternoon and remains open IN
til 10, providing a place where the
students may congregate after
class hours. A victrola, magazines,
checker and chess boards. piano,
Writing desks and stationery con-
st.tute part Of the equipment.
The building also serves as a
party and banquet hall. Weekly
social fun ctions take place and are
given by the various classes, de-
partments and organizations. In
this capacity the hall serves excel
lently. as it is provided with a
kitchen and all the necessary arti-
cles
But these are not the only uses
to which the building is put. Lee
lures and religious meetings also
take place there. Religious ser
vices are not infrequent and the
building serves in general as
center for the social and religious
life of the school.
