NCATE group visits here;
Evaluates education program
This week, from Sunday, Feb. 27 until Wednesday, March 2,
a visitation team from the National Council for the Accredita-tion
of Teacher Education (NCATE) has been on campus to
re-evaluate the teacher education program at Augustana.
Paintings by Maureen Pow-ers,
Glenn Erlandsen and
Linda Dickenson have been
selected for final competition
in Lutheran Brotherhood's
Eighth Annual National Luth-eran
Student Art Exhibition.
The exhibition is scheduled
for April 11-23 in the Lutheran
Center of the Lutheran Brother-hood
Building, Minneapolis.
The art exhibit is limited
to Lutheran graduate and
undergraduate students from
the United States and Canada.
Mr. Eide sent slides of a
number of paintings to the
preliminary judging, and the
final entries were selected
from the slides. These paint-ings
wete then framed and
shipped to Minneapolis for
final judging Friday, March .

Of the 600 entries in the
preliminary competition, 100
were selected for the final
About 700 male students
at Augustana College are
expected to take the Selective
Service college qualification
tests this spring.
According to Col. A. G.
Jensen of the State Selective
Service headquarters at Rapid
City, students in colleges in
the state will receive notice
from their respective colleges
when the tests will be admin-istered.
At the present time three
test dates have been set.
They are May 14, May 21 and
June 3. Students taking the
exams must fill out an appli-cation
card and return it be-fore
April 23. Augustana
students will be notified when
these application forms are
available.
THE TEST IS NOT required
and it will not cost the stu-dents
anything, but if they
are not taken the student may
just be on the local board's
number one "Hit Parade."
In other words a student must
take the test if he wishes to
be deferred and complete his
college education.
The Selective Service exam
will be similar to a general
aptitude test, and according
to the test administrators the
exam has been constructed so
no special advantage will be
given to any type of major
competition.
Each year several thousands
of dollars are awarded to the
winning entrants. The number
of awards depends each year
on the decision of the judges.
course students are pursuing.
Science Research Associates
of Chicago say the test con-sists
of about 50 per cent
verable and linguistic skills
and 50 per cent quantitative
reasoning. It will be a three
hour exam.
Right now the State Selec-tive
Service headquarters is
sending out questionaires to
colleges to find out how many
male students will be taking
the tests in each college. The
tests will be taken by fresh-,
man sophomores and junior
students.
COL. JENSEN SAID a
student's class rank and the
test results will be used as a
guide to the local boards for
college deferment.
Local selective service
boards differ on their defer-ment
policies. For example,
students registered and pro-gressing
satisfactorily are
ordinarily deferred. However,
students who plan to go on to
graduate school may have to
fulfill their military service
before finishing their graduate
studies.
Students planning to go
into the professions of med-icine,
dentistry, or veterinarian
are deferred until they com-plete
their training, and then
they may be eligible for mil-itary
service. There is no
In addition, some of the works
are purchased by Lutheran
Brotherhood to add to its per-manent
collection for public
showings throughout the United
States.
The married student's ban-.
quet will be held Friday,
March 11 at 6 p.m. in the
Commons Building.
Entertainment will be
provided by Janine Johnson,
Mary Beth Anderson, Nancy
Foss and Dennis Ondrozeck.
Following the banquet, the
game room will be open.
Tickets may be obtained
at the Commons' information
desk March 7, 8 and 9 from
10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

special classification for law
students.
SELECTIVE Service boards
consist of three to five mem-bers
and selection for defer-ment
or military induction is
made by a majority of the
board members.
Students who are in the
upper 1/2 of the freshman, the
upper 2/3 of the sophomore
and the upper 3/4 of the junior
years will be ordinarily defer-able.
In addition the students
must pass the Selective Ser-vice
exam with a 70 per cent
score or better, and graduate
school students should have
at least 80 per cent on the
exam.
EVERY TEN YEARS, the
departments of education and
preparation of all nationally
accredited colleges and uni-versities
in the United States
must be reaccredited by a
group of experts from NCATE.
Augustana's department was
last accredited in 1956; this
year the program is being re-evaluated.
The Visitation Team met
with the heads of the various
departments on campus Mon-day.
The chairman of the
NCATE Team has also asked
to meet with several students
in the college who are pre-paring
to teach. This meeting
was held on Tuesday.
According to the NCATE
chairman, this meeting with
the students was called ". .
to give team members an idea
of the operation of the program
from the standpoint of the
students involved."
Student fast
nets over $200
Over $200 was collected
in the student fast held here
last week. The money will
be used for the Augustana
Indian Recreation Program
which includes the recreation
work on the Pine Ridge, Rose-bud,
and Oglala Reservations
in western South Dakota.
The fast was proposed
last fall at a student confer-ence
of Lutheran colleges
held at Waverly, Iowa. Each
Lutheran college was to have
a fast and donate the proceeds
to some worthwhile project.

visit to the campus.
Moliere comedy
will be next
play production
A Moliere comedy, School
for Wives, will be the next
Augustana College Little
Theatre production.
Director Earl Mundt has
scheduled the third play of
the current season to run
March 14-19.
Cast in the lead role of
Arnolphe is Sioux Falls senior
Bruce Halverson. The story
is built around this man who
has an abnormal distrust of
all females. Unable to find a
satisfactory wife, he decides
to raise a young girl to fit
his image of a perfect wife.
He "adopts" a young girl,
who will be played by Sue
Sampson; Emmetsburg, Iowa,
and has her reared in a con-vent.
On the rare occasions
when she is allowed out of
the cloistered atmosphere, he
shields her from the cruel
outside world within his home
where her only contact is with
his servants. The comedy
sharpens when she begins to
realize what she has been
missing.
Others in the cast include
Roger Vaughan, Don Day,
Bev Eggimann, John Ander-son,
Rolf Berg and LeRoy
McCoy.
Her Saturday program will
include a group of songs by
17th and 18th century com-posers:
the "Kinder-Toten-lieder"
by Gustav Mahler,
Dvorak's "Biblical Songs"
and Falla's "Popular Span-ish
Songs." She will be
accompanied at the piano by
Mary Helen Schmidt, piano
instructor at Augustana.
