Augustana Church Defers Dance on Campuses
The Augustana Lutheran church deferred for a year a decision on permitting dancing on its school campuses. The issue arose at the church's 90th annual session with Augustana College directors from Rock Island Illinois seeking guidance on lifting the college ban.
