May 16, 1949 Augustana College, Sioux Falls, S. Dak. Vol. XXX, No. 28 Wte 41491-tdotaita RRO - EXCAVATION WORK by the Henry Carlson company of Sioux Falls, made the spades look like teaspoons as the huge power shovel began to move dirt immediately following the formal ground-breaking ceremony. What started out as a mere scratching of the earth's surface soon developed into a seven foot hole over 100 feet long after four days of exca-vating. A huge crowd was in attendance at the opening day, and onlookers continued to watch the dramatic changes in the campus take place throughout the week. Construction of the $400,000 project will be completed by the fall of 1950 ac-cording to the contract. FIRST SHOVEL full of dirt turned over in the Ladies hall ground-breaking cere-monies Wednesday morning, was scooped by Dean of Women, Miss Helen Farley, pictured at the left. Former busines manager, G. H. Gilbertson unearthed the second spade-full (above) in the colorful dedication nrogram.

Snook Announces Viking Day Plans Viking Day chairman Rog Snook this week announced the homecoming committee chairman for the 26th annual Viking Days scheduled for Oct. 14-15. No downtown parade will be staged next year, according to Snook, because of the difficulty in getting enough floats for a long procession. Other things have been added to the homecoming program, how-ever, including a longer fanfare of pre-game ceremony before the State-Augie grid classic and spe-cial meetings of alumni in groups of four or five years. Those committee chairmen nam-ed by Snook include: Helen Schraeder, coronation; Lee Johnson, torchlight parade; Louise Oberlander, society lunch-eon; Phil Natwick, pre-game ceremony; Al Farley, fireworks; Ruth Wineberg, correspondence; and Tom Sheeley and Lemoine Viborg, pepfest.

Campus Radio KAUR Signs Off On Friday Augie campus radio station KAUR announced late last week that it will leave the air Friday, May 20, for the end of its broad-casting year.

'A Shocking Shade Of Red' Comedy Is Set For May 18-19 Presentation of A Shocking Shade of Red, the social board's annual musical comedy has been definitely scheduled for May 18 and 19 at 8:15. The play, based on the assumption that ridicule is one of man's most effective weapons, attacks Communistic doctrines by making them appear absurd.

The cast, containing a number of new faces, includes the following: Bellhops Bill Winfree Dick Gillman Bill Larson Bob Hagen Princess Pat Millard Secretary Joyce Reiser Chauffer • Elmer Knuteson Waitresses , Joey Grunwald Vivian Johnson Ruth Wineberg Chef Bob Jones Manager John Rader Clerk Bob Ellman Scrub Woman Charlotte Ellison Entertainer Lorraine Watkins Pianist Len Boe Chapel Choir Ends Three-Dad Tour; See Pickslown Augustana's chapel choir, under the direction of Dr. Arnold Run-ning, presented five concerts dur-ing their three-day tour through southeastern South Dakota and upper Iowa May 13-15.

Local UCE Appeal Hits $1,900 Mark Final . returns on the United Christian Appeal have not yet been compiled, but incomplete fig-ures now available reveal the drive has registered pledges and cash contributions amounting to $1,900. To date 428 students have been solicited with the remainder yet to be contacted. This appeal, a nation-wide solici-tation, has as its goal the sum of one million dollars. If this sum is subscribed, Augustana college will receive $335,000 for building puposes. 'Student body president. Al Far-ley urges all student solicitors to submit their pledge books to him at the Edda office in the basement of the Cottage so that final tabula-tion of the drive can be made. KAUR Sponsors 'Hush' Contest Augustana college has managed to successfully avoid the on-slaught of the radio contest at least until now. This week, how-ever, the staff of KAUR announc-ed that they would sponsor a weekly radio contest of the Miss Hush variety. Each night certain clues will be given over KAUR that will give listeners an idea as to the identity of two well-known students on the Augustana campus. Each week the staff will select a King and Queen of the week. Coeds may attempt to figure out the identity of the King, and the men guess the Queen. The first student to guess the identity of either mystery student will be awarded a free meal at the school cafeteria. The only qualification for entry stipulates that the entrant must tell which program furnished him with the final clue and give a brief resume of that program. Evelyn Swenson his been ap-pointed chairman of the contest by news director Milt Erickson. Referring to the story of Moses and the burning bush, Dr. Glenn stamped the ceremony as "a burn-ing bush in the Prairies of South Dakota . . . a flame that never dies out. It's secrets are its humanities, sciences and the flame of revelation, insight, in-spiration and conviction. To this cause we dedicate this ground today—an unquenchable fire in the lives of men." Dean of Wonien, Miss Helen Farley then scooped up the first shovelful of earth for the 80-room dormitory. The shov-el used was special one de-signed for the ceremony by Martin Vangsness, Augie janitor. G. H. Gilbertson, ex-business manager of the college, climaxed 50 years of service in the church by wielding the second shovelful. "This is the real beginning of the excavation isn't it?" cracked "Gi'bie" as he calmly loosened the turf. "If there is anything left to do when we get done, we'll let the Henry Carlson company put on the finishing touches." Pres. L. M. Stavig was in charge of the program held on the dorm site with the huge excava-tion materials casting a shadow in the background. Dr. L. A. Pier-son, president of the South Da-kota district of ELC, gave the in-vocation and the benediction, and the a cappella choir sang Lord Ho-sana under the direction of Dr. Carl R. Youngdahl. Following the formal ceremony the excavation work began in earnest with the contractor's gigantic power shovel doing the job. The work is expected to be completed by the fall of 1950. Complete radio tralnscriptions of the ground-breaking program were rebroadcast over two Sioux Falls stations Wednesday eve-ning on KISD and KELO. After four days of excavation work, the ground digging was ex-pected to be completed by today as the foundation laying started Friday.
