Library Features
Mexican Paintings
Of Cyrus Running
by Loren Espeland
Replacing the exhibit of
prints by the eight printmak-ers
in the art room of the li-brary
this week is an exhibit
of art work by Cyrus Run-ning,
a brother of our Dr. Run-ning
of the music department.
Mr. Running, who heads the art
department at Concordia college,
has been on a leave of absence
this past year and has spent his
time at an art institute located
in San Miguel, Mexico, a small
town located north of Mexico
City. The exhibit consists of
work he did while there. The
work is done in a variety of me-diums
such as oil, duco and oil,
watercolor, and print. He has
captured Mexico by the themes
he has used and by using the
rich earthy colors one associates
with that country.
Undergraduate work of Mr.
Running was done at St. Olaf,
and he has done graduate work
at Yale, University of Iowa and
University of Minnesota, with this
past year being spent in Mexico.
Last spring Mr. Running won
the Purchase Prize at the Walker
Art Show in Minneapolis, which
means that some of his work was
made a part of their permanent
collection.
Persons who wish to purchase
any of the paintings displayed
should contact Prof. Palmer Eide
in the art department
SIGURD RASCHER
Among the innovations this
year is the Scandinavian room,
incorporating the Norwegian and
Swedish booths that have been
traditional with the All-Nations
Christmas festival. The activity
room, located in the basement of
the gymnasium, has been selected
as the setting for this booth. The
Scandinavian theme will be car-ried
out in the form of a dining
room, complete with a groaning
table.
The chairmen of the Greek
booth have selected a Grecian
garden as the theme for their
contribution to All-Nations. Mex-ico,
the land of gay fiestas, will
bid the world traveler welcome to
an entrance to a bull fight. Martin
Luther's study will be the back-ground
for the German booth.
The American Indian booth,
another newcomer to the world
traveler's parade, will feature
elk shipped to Augustana from
the Black Hills game reserve
especially for All-Nations. Italy,
the land of pizza, will depict a
Venician street scene, complete
with gondolas. The members of
the Korean booth will bid the
traveler welcome to a Korean
teahouse.
This year the Russian booth will
serve as a cultural attraction be-sides
serving native foods. John.
A. Kennedy, Publisher and Edi-tor-
in-Chief of the Sioux Falls
Argus Leader, has donated
pamphlets relating incidents of
his recent trip through Russia, to
be given to the visitors of this
booth. Another highlight will be
the exclusive Kennedy photo al-bum
valued at nearly $20,000.
These pictures were taken by the
Kennedy family while touring
Russia.
The members of the French
booth will bid travelers welcome
to a French sidewalk cafe. Hol-land,
the land of tulips, wind-mills
and wooden shoes, will de-pict
scenes of Dutch life. The
English booth will take the shape
of an English inn.
A program featuring Christ-mas
traditions of four nations
will be presented at 6 and 8
p.m. Acting as master and mis-tress
of ceremonies will be Jim
Eitrheim and Ann Levorson.
According to All-Nations Chair-man
Terry Hokenstad, foreign
students from nine colleges in
South Dakota have been invited
to participate in the Saturday
event.
Arrangements have been made
with KELO-KDLO-TV to telecast
parts of the festival. These pic-tures
will be featured on the sta-tion's
weekend news programs.
At 10:15 the traditional lighting
of the Christmas tree will take
place. Ceremonies in front of
East Hall will include a short pro-gram
of Christmas carols.
