I From 'Face in Brown' -Augie Photo PLAYERS Aud Wagnild and John Beardsley hear Verna Skarsten's violent reaction to the "make-shift mediocrity" in her home. The three appeared in Ron Robinson's one-act experi-mental play, Face in Brown, presented in the little theatre this week, and directed by junior drama major, Dale Miller, (See review, page 2.) FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO SAY IT Friday, March 29, 1957 AUGUSTANA COLLEGE VOLXXXVIII—No. 23 AUGUSTANA • `NorsKapades' Rehearses For April 5 Performance Fifteen Augustana models don new spring fashions for the annual Sis style show, April 13. This year's theme is Spring Colorama. Co-chairmen Sharon Thomp- ' son and Janet Olson have" ex-plained that models will show fashions furnished by Fusfield's. Additional features of the by Mike Ryan A CAPACITY CROWD of students and faculty honored the memory of Rev. Emil Erpestad, late chairman of the department _ of Christianity, in a special service during Tuesday's chapel per- , ,iod. Remainder of the day's classes were dismissed. Prof. Erpestad died Saturday, March 23, after a brief illness. Paul Rogness, ASA president, represented the student body in paying tribute to Rev. Erpestad—"professor, pastor and man of God." Speaking in behalf of the faculty, President Stavig used II Corinthians 3:3 as a test: "Ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us written not with ink, but witli the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart." `The life of Emil Erpestad has been such an epistle," contin- ' ued Dr. Stavig. "In this memorial service what we are really doing is continuing to read that epistle which God has seen fit to place in the midst of us." No finer tribute could have been paid to the continuing influence of this man. REV. ERPESTAD was born in Windom, Minn., December 3, 1912, where he attended elementary and high school. After two years at Lutheran Bible Institute, he entered St. Olaf college, where he was graduated in 1936. He was graduated from Luther Theological seminary in 1940, receiving his Master of Theology degree from the same institution the next year. He was married to Edna Beck of Racine, Wisc., June 8, 1940. From 1940 to 1947, he served parishes in Wilmot, Milbank, Ber-esford and at the Skrefsrud church. Rev. Erpestad joined the Christianity department at Augu-stana in 1947. His stay here was interrupted only by a year's absence to study in the graduate school at Yale from 1950 to 1951. He received his Ph.D. from Yale in 1956. His dissertation was entitled, AUGUSTANA THROUGH 100 YEARS. The memory of Dr. Erpestad will long be revered by his co-workers on the Augustana faculty and by his associates in the Evangelical Lutheran church, but it must also be said, no less by the students of Augustana, who felt the impact of his faith on their lives. THIS WRITER is but one of hundreds of Augustana students whose first impression of him was formed during his opening prayer in the first class session of a new school year. The con-tributions that he made to the College and to the lives of the students in the classroom stand in the best tradition of the Christian faith and the Church which he served. He believed that the purpose of a church-related college must include more than a philosophy of life. His conviction was - that education must be related to a theology at the heart which ' is the confession: Jesus is Lord. The words "God" and "Christ" and "the Holy Spirit" never fell flippantly from his lips. They were always structured in sen-tences whose dignity were equal to the devotion he had for the Verity for which they stand. One could not escape the impression that he always remembered that these words were being uttered in the presence of that Verity. Rev. Erpestad's Death Prompts Service, Fund Council Designates 'Blood Donor' Program for Student Contributors Rev. Emil Erpestad by Charlie Cooper Final plans have been drawn for NorsKapades '57.
