only to be read."

and $.75 for students. A re-duced
price of $.50 is offered

College Planning
Day is Oct. 26
High school seniors from
South Dakota, Minnesota,
Iowa and Nebraska will be
visiting the Augustana cam-pus
Saturday, Oct. 26, for the
newly instituted College Plan-ning
Day.
This is the first time a day
such as this has been held at
Augustana. It will give visit-ing
seniors a chance to ac-quaint
themselves with vari-ous
college practices through
means of group discussions,
tours and lectures. They will
have the opportunity to ask
questions and meet Augus-tana
faculty members as well
as tour the campus.
Dr. 0. W. Hascall, regional
director of the American Col-lege
Testing Program, will be
guest speaker for the event.
Recipients of
soph honors
are announced
President L. M. Stavig an-nounced
that Elizabeth Hof-stad,
Gwenda Lu Winter, Har-old
Baffle, and Jim Reynolds
were the recipients of Sopho-more
Honors for 1963 at Vik-ing
Varieties on Saturday
night.
The two women and two
men were chosen by the faculty
from the, present junior class
on the basis of scholarship,
character, personal traits, and
other special achievements ex-hibited
during their first two
years of college. This award is
given to promote the highest
type of scholarship so that the
students may be prepared for
effective service to society.
The "Marching Vikings"
will accompany the football
team to the University of
South Dakota Saturday eve-ning
where they will present a
halftime show built around
Broadway show tunes. The
band is returning the visit
which the USD band made to
Augie last year. Dr. Leland A.
Lillehaug will conduct the two
bands in the "Star Spangled
Banner."
Although marching band
season is still in full swing,
auditions are being held this
week for the Concert and Var-sity
bands. Only those in
marching band are eligible
for the Concert Band, but there
may be openings for anyone
in the Varsity Band. Anyone
interested in an audition for
the bands should contact Dr.
Lillehaug at Ext. 250.
The Concert Band selected
from the auditions will be
playing a concert for Parents
Day on Nov. 2.
Faculty wives
to meet
Monday
The October meeting of the
faculty wives will be held
Monday evening, Oct. 28 at
the home of Mrs. L. M. Sta-vig,
according to Mrs. V.
Smith, president of the organ-ization.
The evening is being called
"Augustana Night" and Mr.
Tom Kilian of the administra-tive
department will speak on
the theme for the year, "Wider
Horizons." Because of the
growth of the organization,
which now includes about 70
members, the tradition of hav-ing
a meeting at President Sta-vig's
home will probably be
broken in the coming years.
