THE AUGUSTANA MIRROR
Vol. 41, No. A
Augie Approaches Viking Days Date
Norwegian Ambassador To Visit
Augie for Homecoming Weekend
Students Pick Candidates
For Homecoming Queen
In an atmosphere heavy with the color and ceremony
of the Viking tradition, seven senior women will present
themselves before the homecoming gathering on Friday,
October 23, for the climactic moment of coronation.
Chosen last week by vote of the upperclassmen were
Daleann Anderson, Marilyn Gottschalk, Ida Jessen, Lois Ly-man,
Ellen Olson, Barb Routledge and Sharon Sievers.
Art major Daleann Anderson of Sioux Falls is no stranger
to honors by Augustana students: she has twice been chosen
as a member of the Valentine court for the Sweetheart For-mal.
An Adelphic, Daleann is a member of the Physical Edu-cation
Club, past vice president of WRA, and a cheerleader.
She reports a numb, dumbfounded sensation at hearing of
her candidacy.
Queen candidate Marilyn Gottschalk confesses that the
sensation of being chosen for the royal court is an impossible
one to describe. "It's something that you don't even dare
dream about, you know," she says. Marilyn is an English ma-jor
from Watertown who is acting as a women's counselor for
the second year. She was a debater during her freshman and
sophomore years and was elected last year as secretary of
ASA and president of AWS. She is a past president of the
Alpha society and a member of Chi Epsilon.
Ida Jessen, third member of the royal party, is a sociolo-gy
major from Redfield. She gains experience in her major
field by working as a student therapist in the mental health
center and as an assistant in the sociology department. Ida
is an Adelphic and served last year on the student council
and as a counselor. She was honored during her junior year
as Blue Key Sweetheart. Asked her feelings on being a candi-date
for queen, Ida describes the sensation as one of excit-ment
and warm pleasure. "I don't think the full impact has
hit me even yet," she admits.
Girls on third floor Tuve Hall will be proud of their
counselor, Lois Lyman of Estherville, Iowa, as she walks
down the coronation aisle. Lois is a deaf education major who
is a member of the social board and of the Philomathian so-ciety;
she was a sweetheart candidate last year. As to being
a member of the royalty, Lois says, "It's just wonderful. But
I feel so unworthy."
Though home with the flu when the news came, Ellen
Olson's excitement was undampened. "I couldn't — they
couldn't — it couldn't be me!" Ellen, elementary education
major from Garretson, sings alto with the A choir and ap-pears
from time to time as soloist on campus. Past president
of the Adelphics, she is secretary of the physical education
club and a member of WRA.
Viking Manor counselor Barb Routledge from Sioux City,
Iowa, admits that she's been in a daze since hearing of her
Viking Days candidacy. With her psychology major, Barb
plans to enter either social work or overseas service with the
government. Last year she served as president of the Athenian
society, and she is presently acting as treasurer of Chi Epsilon.
Completing the royal entourage is Sharon Sievers of
Scottsbluff, Neb. Editor of the MIRROR, Sharon was class
president her sophomore year and last year served as Vik-ing
Days chairman. She sang last year with the a capella
choir and was a candidate for the student body presidency.
She is a member of the Alpha society and Chi Epsilon. She
considers this honor "probably the finest thing that's ever
happened to me," but is sure that "someone must have mis-counted
the ballots."

school and college queens,
His Excellency Paul Koht,
ambassador from Norway,
will visit Sioux Falls.
His Excellency is planning
to arrive next Thursday and
stay through part of Satur-day.
Thus far, his schedule in-cludes
a press conference Fri-day

noon, and a tour of the
city and Augustana's campus
the same afternoon. He will
be honored at an informal
dinner Friday night, follow-ing
which he will attend the
Coronation ceremony in the
gym.
It has long been the aim
of the committee to get more
Scandinavian dignitaries to
attending homecoming to
further the Norsk atmo-sphere
here at that time.
The ambassador was invit-ed
this year by the city and
the college, with an eye to-ward
the interest of a large
Scandinavian population in
Sioux Falls and on the cam-pus.
His Excellency Mr. Koht
will be accompanied by mem-bers
of his Washington office
staff when he arrives in Sioux
Falls October 22.
