CONCORDIAN Volume XXXXI Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota, January 20, 1950 Number 15 Directors Approve Of Building Plans Gymnasium - auditorium plans were given full approval by the Concordia Board of Directors at a meeting held Friday, Jan. 13. The plans adopted call for a build-ing with outside dimensions of 198 feet by 186 feet and a roof span of 170 feet. No decision was made as to the type of exterior wall ma-terial to be used. Permanent seating; in the auditorium section of the build-ing will accommodate 1680 per-sons. When the entire building is arranged for basketball games, 4000 persons can be seat-ed. A still larger number can bo taken care of when the building is used as an auditorium. When temporary seating is re-moved, five playing courts will be available in the open section of the building. In addition, there are two physical education courts under the inclined permanent seating area. Drop curtains separate a smaller "concert bowl" section from the playing area to provide seating for 1680 in auditorium-type seats. The main curtain in its normal po-sition will leave a stage large enough for chapel services without extending into the main playing court. The curtain will be suspend-ed from tracks so it can be moved back to provide a large stage. The building committee will call for bids as soon as possible and construction should be un-derway by summer. According to the architect, it will take a full year to complete the build-ing. Speaker Tells Of Nazi Persecution Changes in the life of a man who lived as a Jew in Europe for 17 years only to discover after Nazi persecution that he was not a Jew will be discussed by Speaker of the Month Robert Bradford in his talk on "Tolerance and Free-dom" in chapel Monday, Feb. 6. Born in Breslau, Germany, of Christian parents, Bradford was adopted at the age of three by a Jewish family whose faith, traditions and love he accepted. Twenty years later he dlscov-ed that he was not of their faith. During his years as a Jew, Bradford saw the rise of Hitler and the horror meted out to the unfortunate Jews. THANKS FROM ALL OF US! We extend our appreciation to Miss Amy Erickson, cafe-teria manager, tor her willing cooperation in making possible the new student lunchroom. ROBERT BRADFORD After his escape, aided by non- Jews, Robert stayed in Paris and became a member of the French underground. One night he was called to the headquarters of the HIAS, Jew-ish Agency In France, where he was told by an officer, "You are not of Jewish birth. I feel sure you will take advantage of this information and that it will make you happy." Bradford, however, feels that he has lived his life as a Jew, and cannot cross the line into the Gen-tile world.
