Members of the cafe society are shown as they line up for their first meal served in the new cafeteria Monday, January 6. The cafeteria under the management of Mr.* Barney Ordahl will serve the students and faculty at meal time, with the Huddle soon to be reopened for lunches and coffee hours. The cafeteria was moved to the campus from the Sioux Falls Army Air Base last fall and replaces the former college dining hall which has been converted for use by the art department. The past months have been spent readying the large building for use; checking, clean-ing and repairing the equipment. Present seating capacity of the cafeteria is 120 with over a thousand meals served as an average every day. I RR 0 B. January 9, 1947 Augustana College, Sioux Falls, S. Dak. VoriXVII, No. 30 • Chow Line at Augustana Wie tquetaSiama Snook Selects Cast College Debaters For "Hasty Heart" Begin Season It's So Depressing by George Douthitt It was extremely depressing this week. NOTICE! Augustana students will be ad-mitted to the orchestra concert on their' activity tickets and wives of student veterans will be admitted at student prices. Rehearsals for the second pro-duction of the Augustana College Theatre were begun this week, with presentation dates set Feb-ruary 20, 21, 22. The play is The Hasty Heart, a comedy that ap-peared recently on the Broadway stage. It is written by John Pat-rick and was produced by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse, who gave the theatre such well known plays as Life With Father and Arsenic and Old Lace. Director Bob Snook has an-nounced the following cast for the production: Orderly Bill Halverson Yank Dick Stavig Digger Bob Burleigh Kiwi George Douthit Blossom Buss Reaves Tommy Bob Snook Margaret Dorothy Ann Erickson Colonel Ken Berg Lachlen Gerry Lofgren Announcement of committees and the assistant director will be made during the coming week. Orchestra Repeats Concert By popular request the Aug-ustana Symphony Orchestra will give a repeat performance on Sunday, January 12, at the Coli-seum at 4 p. m. The program will consist of the selections which were played at the previous concert on Decem-ber 18. The highlight of the concert will again be the appear-ance of Miss Ruth Schneider with orchestral accompaniment in Bee-thoven's C Major Concerto. Augustana will participate in a debate tournament for all col-leges in the state to be held at Sioux Falls college Saturday, Jan-uary 11. Augustana will enter four teams with four rounds for each team. On January 18, Augustana will join with Sioux Falls college to welcome the other colleges of the state to a similar tournament in-cluding both oratory and extem-poraneous speaking, the latter on the subject of peace. The winer of this peace extemp contest will go to the national contest. Members of the Augie debate squad are Helen Bekke, Dorothy Pederson, Dorothy Schiager, Nor-man Olson, Catharine Cashman, Arthur Utt, Robert Browning, Jack Mueller and Harold Hauge-j orde. College Press Sets Conference Date A conference of the South Da-kota Collegiate Press association is scheduled at Huron college April 11 and 12. Wes Sandvig, Augustana, is president of the as-sociation. Awards will be presented in the annual collegiate newspaper con-tests, round table discussions will be held, and a banquet will be served. Plans for the event were made at a meeting of the execu-tive committee in Huron during the holiday season. Stavig Finds China Needs Mission Help by Laurel Gray None the worse, except for a bad cold, and tremendously im-pressed by what he had seen in the Orient, President L. M. Stavig took over the reigns as Augustana college head again here Monday, after a three-month missionary tour through China. "The fast trip by air made a great impression on me as to the comparative smallness of the earth," Dr. Stavig reported, hav-ing traveled 10,000 miles from Shanghai, China, to Sioux Falls in four days. As president of the church's board of missions, part of his job was to further Christian educa-tion in China and to aid in the establishment of a Lutheran col-lege there. As a result of his five-week inspection tour of the mission fields and its properties, he will make necessary recom-mendations to the foreign mission board of the church in the near future. "Missionary work in China has been slowed down," Stavig ex-plained, "because of considerable destruction to property due to the war, with the resultant need of rehabilitation." He also noticed a definite lack of missionaries for China's 450 million people, and a lack of sufficient funds to support them. In spite of these difficulties, Dr. Stavig revealed that he was highly impressed by the job the mission workers are doing in Christianiz-ing the Chinese, and in promoting good-will between the two na-tions.

Highlights for this reviewer were the scenes depict-ing the conflict between Johnny and Aunt Phrena, the idyllic pas-sages concerning the friendship of Johnny and Snoose, the barn dances and frightening religious services, the awakening of John-ny's love for Lilice and the con-summation of that love, Snoose's death, the threshing crew brawls and, of course, the beautifully conceived and written climax that leaves the reader limp. Through all these, and many more equally impressive episodes, runs the chronicle of threshing in the Poc-kerbrush hills—the conflict of men and machines told in a man-ner of overwhelming power and impressiveness. The Thresher is not a novel to be read casually. No phrase can be skimmed or skipped over light-ly. Every passage is important to the final whole. It is not a book that you will read at one sitting. It is rather a book to be read slowly, savoring it as you go. It is a book to be added to your library in that special niche reserved for books which you want to cherish, books that will be taken down often and reread. It is a book that will become a classic of its kind. Rettiew The Thresher by Bob Snook
