Remember Religious Emphasis "Is Christianity Necessary?" AUGUSTANA • Jan Gbur Sings Tonight At 8:30 - Gym-Auditorium Jan Gbur, outstanding young bass, will appear in vocal concert this evening at 8:30 in the college gym-auditorium. Mr. Gbur is a native of Czechoslovakia but has spent most of his life in the United States. His various non-musical avocations were experienced before and during the time he was training a voice that has in three and a half years won him acclaim on both coasts. His professional debut in 1949 was with the American Opera Company in the title role in Marriage of Figaro. It led to leading roles in half a dozen other operas. The following year Mr. Gbur won the "Voice of Tomorrow" competition in Philadelphia. He is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music in Phila-delphia and has had further training in opera under Alex-ander Kipnis. His present tour of the Midwest comes at the close of his second season with the San Francisco Opera Company. Earlier this year he was heard in all four productions of the San Antonio Opera Company and as soloist with the Kansas City Philharmonic's production of La Boheme. His accompanist is another Curtis graduate, Witold Turkiewicz. Student activity tickets will insure admittance to the concert. Saturday, November 14, 1953 Augustana College, SIOUX FALLS, S. D. Vol. XXXV — No. IX RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS BEGINS SUNDAY *Six Special Chapel and Evening Programs Carol Fedde, Paul Kirchner, Dave Johnson and Joyce Rasmus-sen, Religion Board members, are pictured completing arrangements for the three-day Religious Emphasis observance which begins Sun-day evening. Center on Theme "Is Christianity Necessary" Religion Board Asks All Augustana to Join in Observance Wee Speaks At Services Pictured above is Dr. Morris Wee, speaker at all Religious Em-phasis Days meetings from next Sunday night through Wednes-day morning. After graduation from St. Olaf college and Luther Seminary, Dr. Wee was pastor of Bethel Luth-eran Church, Madison, Wisconsin, from 1931-45. In that interim he also secured his Ph.D. history from the University of Wiscon-sin. From 1945-49 he served as ex-ecutive secretary of the Division of Student Service of the Nation-al Lutheran Council. Thereafter he was president of Carthage college from 1949-52. In 1952 he traveled as secretary of the World Student Christian Federa-tion in Asia. Returning from there, he accepted the pastorate of First Lutheran Church at Du-luth, Minnesota. In addition, Dr. Wee has held numerous key posts. In 1947, he was delegate to the Lutheran World Convention in Sweden; in 1950, he was a member of the In-ternational Seminar on Denomin-ational Colleges held at Toronto; and, in 1951, he was also dele-gate to the Asian Christian Pro-fessors Conference in Indonesia. "Open City" Begins Run On Thursday The final ticket sales for the foreign film series will be this next week, and Ellsworth Win-den, senior class president, sug-gests that the season tickets be purchased to insure attendance at Open City, the Italian film to be shown Thursday and Friday evenings, November 19 and 20. Open City, Roberto Rosselini's masterpiece, highlighted for the world the great power of the realistic film and influenced post-war production everywhere. It tells the personal story of the people of Italy during the Nazi occupation, with a leader of the resistance as the central character and a Catholic priest as his immed-iate aide. The great spirit of humanity which arises in all crises of mankind, is ilium- Mated as the conflict reveals those who side with freedom and those who fail. The admittance to any of the five films to be shown is by sea-son ticket only and these tickets may be purchased from any member of the senior class. Sioux Falls Has Church Music Clinic A Church Music Clinic will be held in Sioux Falls next Satur-day at the First Baptist and First Lutheran churches. The event is sponsored by the South Dakota chapter of the American Guild of Organists, which extends a cordial invita-tion to all organists, choir direc-tors, ministers, and laymen from this area to attend the program. • Registration for the clinic will begin at First Baptist Church at 9:00 a. m. It will be followed at 9:30 by a Guild Worship Service at the same church. At 10:00 Professor Everett J. Hilty, of the University of Colorado, w i 11 speak on "The Universal Har-mony." Following a luncheon at 12:45 p. m., Professor Hilty will give an organ recital at 1:30 p. m. at First Baptist church. He will play numbers by Bach, Buxtehude, Saint Saens, and others. The program will conclude with the annual Junior Choir Festival at First Lutheran church, beginning at 3:00 p. in. and feat-uring Mrs. Jay Reither and her Trinity Lutheran Junior Choirs of Yankton. Thanksgiving Services to be November 22 The Augustana college gym-nasium will be the setting for a special Thanksgiving service which will be held Sunday even-ing, November 22, at 7:30 o'clock. This service is intended to in-clude students, faculty, a n d friends of Augustana. A special word of invitation is extended to churches of Sioux Falls and the surrounding area to join in this service of Thanksgiving. Dr. Alvin Rogness, pastor of the First Lutheran church of Sioux Falls, will speak on the theme of Thanksgiving. An opportunity will be given for all to express their thanks through their gifts in the offering which will be received. The offer-ing will be given to the work of the Lutheran Student Action movement. The following ex-cerpts from the pamphlet, The World's Need and Yours, explains in part the program of LSAction: "Students today are being forced to take courageous stands. The faith of Christian students is being challenged and perse-cuted by the powers of the world. In all parts of the world — Pal-estine, India, Germany, Japan, Indonesia — students are being forced to suffer because of the faith. Scholarships, books, and teachers are needed. But most of all, prayer and love. "Love compels stewardship. Stewardship is active Christian faith. It is the reflection of that love which Christ has first shown his people. Through you that love may flow to your neighbors. "The Lutheran student move-ment is concerned with steward-ship. You are being asked to par-ticipate in this concern. It is not simply another campus organiza-tion asking for money. Lutheran Student Action is a way for you to serve the Lord in whose world we live. "By your contributions to Lutheran Student Action, the needs of students will be greatly reduced. `LSAction' is the work-ing arm of the Lutheran Student association s e r v i n g students throughout the world. Its effec-tivenefls can be tremendous. But this depends upon your response. Religious Emphasis Days will dominate the Augie scene next Sunday through Wed-nesday. In keeping with tradition, Religious Emphasis Days at Augie will be strictly interde-nominational. They constitute a period of concentration on Christian essentials and their application in the academic community and in total lives. There is no one who does not come face to face with the big questions of human exis-tence: What is man? What is his origin, his purpose in this life, and his destiny in a life hereafter? These questions inevitably lead to the adoption of _.one form of religion or another. And since we must live in a society in which the predomi-nant religion is Christianity, we must also come to grips with the question: Is Christi-anity necessary? It is precisely around this ques-tion that Religious Emphasis Days will be centered this year. For that purpose the Augustana Re-ligion Board has secured the ser-vices of Dr. Morris Wee, one of the leading thinkers and speakers in contemporary America. In six consecutive talks, Dr. Wee will examine the value of Christianity in the face of present-day needs and prob-lems and discuss the require-ments of Christian living and stewardship. There will be three evening programs, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, from 7:15-8:15, and three special morning convoca-tions, from 8:45-9:30. All the meetings will be held in the gymnasium. During these three days, tests, special assign-ments, and social activities will be suspended in order to enable both faculty members and stu-dents to attend the scheduled events. Religious Emphasis Days will officially get underway next Sun-day night with a special convo cation in lieu of the customary LSA meeting. Dr. Wee will speak on the topic, "An American Looks at Asia," illustrating his comments with Kodachromes of his latest Asian trip. Special music will be furnished by the Augustana college choir under the direction of Dr. A. J. Run-ning. (Continued ion page two) All-school Banquet Date is Changed Larry Sather, student growth program chairman, has an-nounced that the kick=off ban-quet for the student growth cam-paign has been postponed until December. The postponement is due to the fact that the high school senior listings are not yet complete. The program, however, will "roll ,along" as originally planned. The organization is set up with divisional heads picked. All stu-dents are included in this plan.
