AUGUSTANA •
WAS IT A VOTE for Dave, or Gayle, or Sharon? These
freshmen pretties Corlet Jorgenson (left) and Bernis Jacob-son
may well hold the answer to who will carry today's presi-dential
election. Past campus political seers have looked upon
the frosh bloc as holding the key to many elections. Since
they won't tell us, we'll have to wait for the results tonight.

Friday, January 9, 1959 AUGUSTANA COLLEGE VOL. 40—No. 14.
ASA Ballot Count Held Tonight
Burns, Rist Rehired As
Augie Football Coaches
Bob Burns and Mary Rist
have been rehired as athletic
director and football coaches.
The announcement was made
by Dr. L. M. Stavig shortly be-fore
the Christmas vacation.
The Augustana college Board
of Directors extended a con-tract
to the two coaches who
had resigned last September.
Since that time rumors
had been circulating to the
effect that the pair would re-turn
to Augie. The announce-
Christmas Finds
Waltons $150
Losers, But--
It might have been a blue,
blue Christmas and a mighty
lone Month for Angie senior
Bob tValton had it not been
for the kindness of fellow
workers.
Shortly before the Christ-mas
vacation, Bob's wife,
Karen, cashed his monthly
government check in down-town
Sioux Falls. She put
$150 into a brown govern-ment
envelope. Upon return-ing
home the Waltons discov-ered
the loss of the envelope
and money.
However, all was not lost for
the Walton family. Bob's fel-low
workers at the post office
learned of his ill luck. They
gathered a collection of $117
and presented it to :the Wal-tons.
Bob had been employed
as special help during the hol-iday
rush at the local post of-fice.
No word has been received
of the finding of the money.
Presumably, someone is $150
the richer.
ment stated that plans were
being formulated to enable
Burns to continue as head
football coach and relinquish
his duties as athletic director.
Burns has been eyeing a ca-reer
in private business in
Sioux Falls. However, this
would still leave him enough
time to serve as head football
coach.
The two coaches are com-pleting
their third year at
Augustana. Rist is teaching a
section of freshman math in
addition to his duties as line
coach.
This week they are attend-ing
the National Football
Coaches conference in Cincin-nati,
Ohio. They will return to
Sioux Falls Saturday.

Gayle Stalheim Is Late Entry
Into ASA Presidential Race
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt to
Speak at Monday Chapel Convocation
The third candidate for the
office of Augustana Student
association president is Gayle
Stalheim. While attending the
Midwest National Band clinic
in Chicago just prior to Christ-mas
vacation, Stalheim was
nominated by the student coun-cil.
He accepted and entered in
the race along with the other
two candidates, Sharon Sievers
and Dave Nelson.
Stalheim has participated
in numerous musical activi-ties
during the time he has
been at Augustana. As a
freshman he was chairman of
the Pops Band Concert and
as a sophomore was chair-man
of the Concert Band
Festival. He is an instru-mental
music major, has
been in the band three years
and is currently student band
director and drum major.
In line with his interest in
music he helped to organize the
music society, of which he is
currently president. He is a
member of the Zeta Chi Omega
Society.
In his platform Stalheim
advocated the initiation of
the honor system, pertaining
not only to tests and cheat-ing
but also to all campus
activities, including the li-brary
and dorms. He recom-mends
that the Band Day
Festival be incorporated with
Viking Days and formed into
a parade. Also he proposes
that faculty advisors be ap-pointed
to student functions.
While discussing the cam-paign
Stalheim commented that
if he were elected to the posi-tion
of president he would plan
to make the Student Council
"a working body for the Stu-dent
Associations." He states
that this will start Augustana
college toward higher goals
which now "appear only in our
imagination."
Stalheim's campaign manag-er
is Harold Conradi, a junior
from Chandler, Minn.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, "the
first lady of the land," will ar-rive

Roosevelt will meet with a
number of students to discuss
the formation of an AAUN
chapter on campus.

visit to South Dakota
is to inform the public on
the work of the United Na-tions.
She is currently trav-eling
about the country for
this purpose and will arrive
here from Anderson, Ind.
After resigning her position
as official delegate to the UN
General Assembly in 1952, she
became a member of the execu-tive
committee of the AAUN.

book, "On My Own," in ad-dition
to the many other books
and articles which she has
written in the past.

years of age, she continues
to make personal appearanc-es,
address large audiences,
and writes for magazines.
This will be the second visit
of Mrs. Roosevelt to South Da-kota.
She was in Huron in 1954
when she addressed several
thousand people attending a
UN rally. She has been an ac-tive
supporter of the UN since
its beginning in 1945.
