at 8:15 p.m., the Sioux Falls
Community Concert series is
opening with the Royal Win-nipeg

Critics and audiences have
enthusiastically welcomed this
"Royal" ballet composed of
young Canadian - born and
trained dancers. Originating
in 1938, the Royal Winnipeg
Ballet has taken its place
among the great ballet com-panies
of the world. It has
taken several long tours of

Augustana's new men's or-ganization,
the Men's Senate,
has drawn up a skeleton con-stitution
and has been ap-proved
by Dr. Stavig and the
administrative council.
Men's Senate is comparable
to A W S (Association of
Women Students), with its
main purpose that of unifying
Augie men both on and off
campus. President Larry Bar-tels
explains that this will
provide an opportunity for
any male student to come be-fore
the senate with any pro-blems
or suggestions. Men's
Senate has the potential to
develop into a beneficial or-ganization
for all Augie men,
according to Bartels.
Future proposals of Men's
Senate include lights between
Solberg Hall and the campus,
the development of a credit
union in which members can
borrow and save money, and
let in the British Common-wealth.

Members of "A''
Choir Selected
Chances are, as you were
on your way to class last week,
you may have encountered
one of your friends with the
picture of happiness and pride
— and quite possibly relief —
painted all over his face. Up-on
your investigation into this
transformation, y o u heard
your friend say proudly, "I
made A Choir!" Yes, with au-ditions
finally over, Dr. Run-ning
posted the official mem-bership
list last week; and
for those who made it—espe-cially
the new members this
year — it represents quite an
achievement. This list repre-sents
substantially the best
voices on our campus, so let's
not fail to be proud of them,
congratulate them, and above
all, back the A Choir whole-heartedly
all year.

Contrary to circulating ru-mors,
the enrollment at Augu-stana
has not yet reached
2,000, and the men do not out-number
the women. Final reg-istration
figures show that
there are 50 more freshmen
than ever before. In fact, ev-ery
class is larger than last
year's. There are 367 sopho-mores
as compared with 290
last year at this time; the jun-ior
class has 273 students, 67
more than last year's 206; and
the senior class of one year
ago had 175 students while
there are currently 196 sen-iors.
These totals, when com-bined,
with the total number
of part-time students and
nurses bring the enrollment
of Augustana to an all-time
high of 1,677. As a point of
interest, this total represents
27, 156 credit hours. (And how
many grade points?? 2 ? 9 )
