AUGUSTANA Twin Fates for • Commons and Library? —Page 2— MAILMEN THWARTED Friday, January 15, 1960 THE AUGUSTANA MIRROR VOL. 40, No. 13 * Williams Is Prexy Graduate Records Exam To Be Given Here Sat. SMILING as she gets set to take that first step into a brand new ASA office, is newly-elected student body presi-dent, Joane Williams, a Kadoka, South Dakota, junior, who won by a landslide of votes in last week's election. * * * * * Gets Solid 65% of Total The Graduate Records Ex-am will be given on the Au-gustana campus for the first time this year, according to the office of the Registrar. The exam will be given all day Saturday, January 16, in room A-9. The GRE is given to those college seniors who intend to enter graduate schools throughout the country the following year. It is designed to measure the applicant's ability in broad areas such as expression and general know-ledge as well as to measure the individual's ability in his major field, or that field in which he intends to do gradu-ate study. Joane Williams, junior history major from Kadoka, South Dakota, steps into the presidency of the Augustana Student Association as a re-sult of the election held Fri-day, January 8, in which over 800 students registered a vote. The election climaxed an in-tensive week-long campaign which advanced the persons and platforms of Joane and her opponent, Doug Hoken-stad, history major from Fair-bury, Neb. Out-going presi-dent Dave Nelson announced the election returns at a gath-ering in the Commons Build-ing after Friday night's game. According to an announce-ment made at the same time, Ron Hybertson will serve as vice president in the Williams administration. His opponent was Dave Dahl. As a result of her win over Bruce Floor and Keith Odney, Sandy Haugen, junior from Sioux City, will wield the money bags of the ASA. A secretarial race between Betty Diebold, Jan Henden and Joan Wylie failed to give a majority vote to any one candidate, but in Tuesday's run-off election Jan Henden was chosen secretary over Joan Wylie. Augustana social control moves into the hands of Kathy Naiman, sophomore from Rap-id City, who posted a win over Mary Gamill for the office of social board chairman. * * * Votes Viking Days of 1960 will sail forth next year under the captainship of Artie Montgom-ery, sophomore from Brook-lyn, New York. Vying with him for this position was Glen Wika. A run-off election was need-ed for final decision in the race for the chairmanship of All Nations. Friday's vote did not give a majority to Ron Halvorson, Curt Waite or Kent Rolfing. but Kent Rol-fing will head preparations for the Christmas event as a result of his Tuesday win over Ron Halvorson. The speeches are over. the signs are down; and Augu-stana moves forth toward a new year in government. The general aptitude test will be held from 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., and the afternoon session, which lasts from 2 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. will be given over to advanced tests. Candidates should re-port to Room A-9, 15 min-utes before each session is scheduled to begin. Approximately 25 Augu-stana seniors will take the tests. Their scores, when tabu-lated, will be sent to gradu-ate schools they have selected. An applicant who attains a very high score on the test, of course, is in a more favorable position to receive financial help from the graduate school to which he is applying. For disgruntled students who have voiced rather loudly a question as to when the Com-mons Building will be in complete use, Com-mons manager Don Johnson has this week stated that "The Commons will be function-ing on a complete basis in the near future. There are several difficulties presenting themselves at the present time which need to be taken care of before this can be done, however". What specific difficulties? The biggest problem at the present time seems to be one of adequate student workers. The extended hours planned for the building, plus the ad-ditional areas of activity it brings into focus, call for a student working force twice to three times the size of the one previously employed on campus. At the present time Johnson and the Placement Office are accepting applications for work in the building, and are attempting to set up the workers' shifts to coincide with the many functions the building will have. The lounge is expected to be used fully after the wall-to-wall carpeting arrives the first week in March. Student government of-fices in the building which include the ASA, Edda, and MIRROR facilities are at present without the complete set of furniture ordered for them, but this is expected to arrive within the week. Students Soon to Enjoy Full Use of Recently Completed Commons Building The proposed hours as set up by the joint committee of five faculty and five student members, the Commons Building Board, are these: • Friday and Saturday nights: Facilities open until 12:00 p.m. • All other nights of the week: Huddle facilities will be open until 10:30 p.m.; the building itself will be open until 11:00 p.m., so meetings may be held after 10:30 in the building. • The Huddle will eventually be open Saturday afternoons as well as Saturday nights, as the schedule indicates. • For Sunday meals, the Huddle will be open for breakfast; the cafeteria will serve Sunday dinner at the usual hours; the LSA will serve its Sunday night suppers through the facilities of the Huddle. If you have suggestions concerning the use of the building, you may be heard either by addressing a member of the student coun-cil about the subject, or by making your de-sires known to the student members of the Commons Board, who are: Joane Williams, Doug Hokenstad, Kent Rolfing, Kathy Nai-man and Dick Schamber. You may contact them personally or through campus mail. Pittsburg Artists Plan To Present Varied Musical Program For Augies Look Out, Michigan Avenue !
