AUGIE'S NEW WOMEN'S DORMITORY, which will appear something like the above
sketch, will be under construction this spring after a recent decision of the college board of
directors. Plans have been made for the immediate acceptance of bids for the 90-room struc-ture
which will locate on South Menlo avenue between the barracks and cafeteria.
Funds gained from the nation-wide United Christian Education appeal will partly finance the
$450,000 project. The modern structure will house 164 Augie coeds. Building design was
worked out by architect, Harold Spitznagel.

Dr. L. M. Stavig, president

honored with the Knighthood
of the Norwegian Royal Or-der
of St. Olav first class, at
special YMCA ceremonies
Monday night.
The vice consul of Norway, N
C. Monserud, bestowed the award
upon the Augie prexy for distin-guished
service to humanity
through religion and education
About 150 guests were present as
Monserud acted in behalf of his
majest;Y, King Haakon VU of
Norway.
Upon receiving the award, Dr.
Stavig explained that, "It is a less
Pres. L. M. Stavig
personal honor to me than it is to
the representatives of the groups of
which I am a part. I realize
that you are paying tribute to the
Augustana faculty, the board of
directors and to the many others
Who have served our organization
and our church."
In behalf of Gov. Mickelson,
attorney general Sigurd Anderson
stated that South Dakota could
be proud of Dr. Stavig for "his
outstanding work in his faith, and
for the development and expansion
of Augustana college into one of
the finest small colleges in the
United States."
H. T. Quinn, president of the
Sioux Falls Chamber of Com-merce,
believed the honor was
received "as a result of hard work,
conscientious effort and true, de-votion
to a cause he (Dr. Stavig)
believes in."
