Paul Rogness to Spend Two Years
At Oxford as Rhodes Scholar
Paul Rogness, St. Paul, Minn., senior, will
be spending the next two years at the Univer-sity
of Oxford in England, having garnered a
PAUL ROGNESS
Rhodes scholarship from statewide and sec-tional
competition.
The Rhodes scholarship, one of the most
highly revered honors in academic circles,
established by Cecil Rhodes in 1903, will
make it possible for Paul to study philoso-phy,
politics and economics and gain a
bachelor of arts degree, the Oxonian
equivalent for our M.A.
Only 32 Rhodes scholars from the United
States are chosen each year, the choice being
based upon scholastic achievement (20 per
cent), participation and interest in sports (20
per cent), character and personality qualifica-tions
(30 per cent), and relations with one's
fellow (30 per cent).
Paul was chosen from the eight com-petitors
in South Dakota and journied
to a six-state sectional interview competi-tion,
where he was one of the four chosen
as Rhodes scholars. Other scholarship re-cipients
from the South Dakota, Minne-sota,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
area were Larry Popfeski of the Univer-sity
of Iowa, Leslie Dirks of M.I.T., and
Stuart Jordan of Washington university
of St. Louis.
Paul will leave for England in September.
At Oxford he will receive a 600 pound yearly
stipend.
An English and history major, Rogness has
been one of Augustana 's most active students.
IN MANY STUDENT ELECTIONS at Augustana, the fresh-man
class has supplied the pivotal block of votes. As the frosh
go, the political pundits will tell one, so goes the majority of
the Augies. This becomes an especially interesting point of
ponderosity when the voter is freshman Janice Henden of Car-thage,
shown here dropping the Xed sheet into the maw of the
battle-worn ASA ballot box.

Dr. Kintner
Receives Grant
For Research
Research corporation, New
York, N. Y., has announced a
contribution of $2,513 as a
Frederick Gardner Cottrell
grant for the support of Dr.
Robert R. Kintner's research
program, entitled "A Kinetic
Investigation of the Catalyzed
a n d Uncatalyzed Rearrange-ment
of 2-Alkoxypyridines to
N-Alkyl-2-pyridones."
Research corporation was
endowed originally in 1912
by Dr. Frederick Gardner
Cottrell who was a scientist,
teacher and inventor. The
money comes from patent
rights on a process for remov-ing
particles from gases.
Since then other people have
contributed to the support of
this non-profit organization.
Grants given by Research
corporation go primarily to
small colleges and to people
who are initiating research pro-jects
for the first time. The
grant is an initiating support
which may continue for three
years if needed.
Essentially the grant pays
for equipment, materials and
assistance in the research. All
of the work on this research
problem will be done in the
chemistry department of Augu-stana
college.
Election
Party Is
After Game
By KATHY HANSON
Anticipation is the key word
on the Augustana campus this
weekend. Suspense will contin-ue
to mount until the new ASA
president is introduced at the
election party to be held tomor-row
night in the gym at 10
p.m. after the game.
The informal gathering,
sponsored by the junior class,
will be highlighted by the
frequent announcing of elec-tion
returns and the final rev-elation
of the new student
body mentor. Presidential
candidates, Bob Rerdahl and
Curt Olsen, have been extend-ed
formal invitations.
Ballots will be counted by the
election board, which is com-posed
of Milt Hanson, Pat Dig-erness,
Del Kroon and Ann
Stalheim, chairman.
Although there will be no
balloting on Saturday, the
decision will remain unknown
to the student body until the
last returns are counted by
members of the board at the
suspenseful event, climaxing
a week of diligent campaign-ing.
All necessary run-offs for oth-er
student body offices will be
held Monday.
The Northlanders, popular
campus musical group, under
the direction of Arlo Feiock,
will headline the program. A
vocal group will be featured
and Cokes will be served.
Next week the Augustana
campus will resume its normal
schedule, and political enemies
will again lunch together in
the Huddle, with talk of se-mester
exams replacing the
former heated election discus-sions.

In his debut recital in Carne-gie
hall, New York reviewers
referred to it as "an impressive
occasion." Olin Downes of the
New York Times lauded Lat-einer
's great range of virtuo-sity
and poetry in playing "a
whole row of some of the great-est
works of literature," and
remarked that "all felt the hon-or
due this remarkable artist."

to his performance and career.
