Augustana's student news-paper,
the Mirror, gained an
All-American superior award in
the 39th annual critical service
of the Associated Collegiate
press for editions of last semes-ter.
This is the fifth time the Mirror
has won the highest rating possible
for a college paper since it became
a weekly in 1940. Mary Ode, sen-ior
from Brandon, was editor of
the high ranking editions published
from January to June of 1948, with
Laurel Gray as associate.
Only three other newspapers
throughout the nation gained a
similar award for colleges of en-rollment
500-999. The Mirror
amassed a total critical score of
925 out of a possible 1,000. Of the
four news phases judged in the
contest, the Augie edition rated
highest in departmental pages
(sports and editorial) and special
features such as columns.
The other four All-American
awards also occurred during the
reigns of women editors: Virginia
Voss, second semester '43; Lucille
Mai rington, first semester, '44;
Lorna Pearson, second semester
'46; and Jewyll Mortensen, first
semester '47.

Wednesday, Oct. 6. Mrs. Palmer
Eide took over the project from
there and made six apple pies.
Art maJors and members of the
art department faculty judged the
results Wednesday evening at Prof.
Eide's home and expressed a deep
appreciation for art—and apple
pie.
'Forward Harchl' Brings
Back Fond ? Memories
If the cries of "Forward,
harch!" and "Count off," have
brought back fond ( ?) memories
to any veterans on campus, don't
get any sentimental ideas. It is
only the Augie pep band getting
in condition for 'the homecoming
parade and game and for its fu-ture
games.
Under the leadership of Leland
Lillehaug, the band has been
marching during its regular
practice, periods three times week-ly.
Besides the Augustana home
games, the band, under the baton
of Hugo Lutz, played at the uni-versity
game Saturday night and
has been invited to participate
in Hobo Day activities at State
next weekend.
Loigren Pains Changed
To Panes For KAUR
Finding new quarters for KAUR
was a pain for station manager
Gerry Lofgren; but now that he
has found it he has more panes
than ever. The desired space was
finally obtained in the greenhouse
attached to the south wall of the
Ad building.
Remodeling is now in progress.
The station will be ready to once
more ride the air-waves when
equipment has been transferred
from the Cottage basement and
installed in the new location.
An organizational meeting will
be scheduled later this week. Any
student interested in radio work
is urged to attend. Announce-ment
will be posted on the bul-letin
board in the Ad building,
Vikings Retrieve Statue
From SDSC Thursday
Ole the Viking is again on
the familiar grounds of the
Augustana college campus.
Despite valiant efforts by
State college students from
Brookings, to use the huge six-foot
clay statue in the Hobo
Day homecoming parade (Oct.
23), Ole has returned to its right-ful
Augustana owner, Hugo Lutz.
A junior art student from
Gary, Ind., Lutz had spent
some 200 hours and $75 in
clay for this seminar project,
since early this summer.
By virtue of administrative
phone calls, and a Brookings
trip by Arlyn Roe, Canton, and
Carmi Odegaard, Volga, the
much-sought-after Ole arrived
only slightly damaged Thurs-day—
five days after State stu-dents
had removed him from the
art studio.
Student prexy Tom Kilian re-ceived
the following unanswered
ultimatum from Brookings Wed-nesday:
We wish to inform you that
Ole has been lddnaped. He
seems to enjoy his new resi-dence
here at State college
and informs us that he
would like to remain here till
after Hobo Day festivities.
However, he informs us
that he would not like to
maintain his permanent resi-dence
here and was wonder-ing
if some kind Norseman
would offer him a ride home
after Hobo Day.
His one stipulation, how-ever,
was that his sculptor
would be present on Hobo
Day in mourning attire, to
ride on the float with him in
the Hobo Day parade.
Publish reply in the Aug-ustana
schoolpaper . . .
A Friendly Hobo
Meanwhile, Mr. Lutz calmly re-turned
to his sculptoring task.
as other Augie students tried to
concentrate on their own Viking
Days homecoming Oct. 15-17.
Huddle Opens
Doors Evenings
Augie's campus rendezvous, the
Huddle, opened its doors Wednes-day

Manager Mrs. Helen Jensen
plans to keep the Huddle open
from two to five and seven to ten
p.m. on weekdays except Saturday,
and from three to five p.m. on
Sundays. Whereas the help short-age
had delayed the opening until
last week, Mrs. Jensen reports a
complete staff is now on hand.
Buzz Book Sells 400
According to editor Bob Groth,
400 copies of the Augie Buzz Book
were disttributed to Viking stu-dents
after the first week of
sales. Remaining editions of the
pocket-size address book may be
obtained in the college book store
for the same price.
