B. Hauge, Augustana Registrar. tivities announced. Tom Darr and Jim Wylie will combine forces as masters of cere-monies for the evening. Maxine Killeaney and Les Arneson will sing a duet, Delores Jerde, 1953 Miss America talent winner will give a piano solo, and Miss Verona Rogness and Miss Ruth Schneider will appear as a piano duet. A brother combination, Bob and Jim. Alger, are scheduled to present a dramatic reading. The formal re-ception climaxes a week of oriena-tion for frosh. Sunday afternoon over 350 freshmen filled the dorm-itories preface to the all-frosh supper and mixer held in the gym. The freshmen partici-pated in an intensive testing program on Monday and Tuesday mornings this past week. After an address of welcome by President Stavig on Monday, followed by a dis-cussion of the catalog by Tom. Kilian, Public Relations Direc-tor, frosh were given a tour of the campus. A calico and levi party in the gym closed Tuesday's activities. Registration and a co-sponsored Dad-Son, Big-Little Sister Theatre party highlighted Wednesday's orientation schedule. Tuesday evening campus activi-ties night will be held in the gym giving students an opportunity to become acquainted with clubs and organizations. Big Little Sis events also included in orientation ac-tivities are a roller skating party Saturday night and a breakfast Sunday morning. Orientation draws to a close with a football game and water-melon bust on Saturday evening, September 25. Orientation of-ficially ends with the Big-'Lil Sis Tea at the home of Dr. L. A. Pierson, next Sunday afternoon. Augie Buildin At Fast Pace Phase two of Augustana's Long Range Development program came closer to being realized this summer as construction progressed on the Mikkelsen Library and construction was begun on the new men's dormitory. Mikkelsen Library, being con-structed south of the administra, tion building, has been under con-struction since May. When com-pleted it will consist of two stories and a ground floor. At the present time, the structural framework has been, raised for all stories. The new men's dormitory has now left the drawing boards of Harold Spitznagel and Associates and has moved into actual con-struction south of the athletic field. Sioux Falls Construction Company, holders of the general contract, plan to have the building ready for occupancy by Septem-ber, 1955. Electrical work and plumbing, heating, and tempera-ture control will be handled by the Electric Supply Company and Sanders Sanitary Company re-spectively. Consisting of three stories plus a ground floor, the dormitory will be similar in design to Tuve Hall and will , house 224 men. Plans call for dayrooms, a large lounge, workshop, and meditation chapel. On completion of the two new buildings the second phase of the development program will be 85% completed, with the student union yet to be planned. Nelson and Giedd, Invent Heart Aid V. R. NELSON New aid for surgical patients and surgeons alike came last June as a result of the inventive genius of Dr. V. Ronald Nelson, chairman of Augustana's rapidly growing physics department. This piece of medical equipment, which is a small black box called a "heart shocker," was perfected this sum-mer by Dr. Nelson and Gary Giedd, a departmental assistant, and may well mean the difference between a dead or mentally dis-abled patient and a live and well one. Thousands of patients die each year on the operating table as a result of heart stoppage and ven-tricular fibrillation, medical term-inology for "heart flutter," which can happen in even such simple operations as a tonsillectomy with the patient under local anesthesia. As recently as five years ago, sur-geons were baffled when these emergencies occurred. Then heart massage came into use which saved many lives, but something more was needed. At about the same time it was discovered that a momen-tary Intense electrical shock often restored heart operation. A machine designed to deliver such shocks is called a de-fibrillator or heart shocker. With this device a doctor may select an amplitude of shock ranging from 120 volts to 145 volts. He may also select the duration of the shock, rang-ing from one-tenth of a second to five seconds. (Continued on Page 2) First LSA Meeting_ To Be This Sunday LSA will meet for the first time this year Sunday afternoon, Sep-tember 19, in Sherman Park for a picnic and fellowship, stated Willis Hanson, president of LSA, Lutheran Student Association. Beginning at 3 p. m., students may participate in softball, foot, ball and volleyball activities. De-votions and a songfest will follow the picnic supper. Impressions of "ASHRAM," an annual gathering of Lutheran youth throughout the U. S., will be given by Bill Rossing, Mike Rogness, and Dave Johnson, Aug-ustana students who attended the 1954 ASHRAM is an Indian word meaning "corporate spiritual quest." LSA promises lots of variety in its mee ■,fmgs for the coming year as Hanson, and his council have been busy making plans for some time. Little Boy Gets `Carried Away' Peanut throwing proved to be a popular feature of the Meller Dramer Theatre, the summer theatre company begun by Professor Earl Mundt. However, one evening dur-ing a performance of "The Drunkard," someone in the audience became so wrapped up in the play that he threw a stone hitting the villain, Phil Bruns, Augie alumni, on the head. Several days later Bruns re-ceived the following letter: "I am sorry I threw the stone last night. I got carried away with the play. I hope you feel better. I am nine years old. Dickie." NOTICE Upperclassmen may vote for Viking Days Queen candidates until 5:30. The candidates will be introduced to the student body at the formal reception tonight. Originally, Moses had but one head. However, throughout the past year the Moses in the Augus-tana art department has had sev-eral heads. Ogden Dalrymple, Augustana art instructor and sculptor, has again been revising the head and figure of Moses, a sculpture which will be placed at the entrance of the Mikkelsen Library. During the planning of the new library building, Harold S. Spitz-nagel and associates, Dalrymple and Palmer Eide, head of the Augustana art department, decid-ed that some sculpture would be decorative and appropriate on the new building. After submission of preliminary models, Augie's in-structor was then commissioned to sculpture a figure of Moses. Many ideas must be tried in countless combinations in order that the finished work may even approximate the ideal, says Dalrymple. For this reason, much experiment-ing and revision with the head and figure were necessary. A total of '745 students had reg-istered by late that afternoon, an increase of 151 over last year. Of this number, 327 were freshmen, 370 upperclassmen, and 48 trans-fers. Enrollment last year at the same time totaled 594 and 582 registered in 1952. The 1954 frosh class topped the 1953 new crop by 80. Students will continue to regis-ter for several days and complete enrollment totals will be avail-able next week. Upperclassmen registered all day Monday and Tusday morning. Frosh spent Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday enrolling for the 1954 school year. The school year was officially opened Thursday morning as stu-dents and faculty gathered in the gymnasium for Convocation exer-cises. The address, "Let's Go West," was delivered by Professor Emil Erpestad of the Christianity de-partment. A vocal solo, "0 God Have Mercy," was presented by Mr. David Murray. The ringing of the bell in Old Main tower ushered in the new year at Augus-tana. Dalrymple has been working a year on the project and hopes to have it completed in time for the dedication of the library. At the present time, the figure stands high against a wall of the skylight studio in the art depart-ment. Today Moses is in pliable, heavy, gray plastaline, upon a skeleton of pipe and wood. A plaster mold will be made and from this a plaster model cast. The cast will then be sent to the stone cutters where an enlarged re-production will be roughed out in limestone. In this state it will be installed on the building where the sculptor himself will finish it. The design is simple and bold. "It is an attempt to symbolize the strength and character of Moses, and the urgency of his message, rather than a mere factual or visual representation," Dalrymple explained. Bill Stockstad, sophomore, has been assisting the Augie professor during the summer and is ac-countable for the statue's base, a symbol of the golden calf. New Augie Sign Ole the Viking greets visitors to Sioux Falls on thirtieth and Minnesota Avenue, four blocks east of the campus. The new sign, a gift from a friend of the college, is in neon lights and painted in the school colors, blue and gold. In time, additional signs will be seen on all four highways ap-proaching Sioux Falls. Umteen' Heads for Moses 0. Dalrymple, Augustana art instructor, inspects his statue of Moses that will be placed at the entrance of the Mikkelsen Library. The professor, who has been working on the model for a year hopes to have it ready for the dedication of the library.
