The 744iCtioataiia MIRROR az., 27 (00. December 13, 1945 Augustana College, Sioux Falls, S. Dak. Party, Banquet Christmas Vespers To Be Held Sunday Highlight Next Stavig to Give Week's Activities Holiday Message ii i-iedda Gabler I/ Receives Acclaim by Gertrude Eitreim "What a play!" was the com-ment which echoed and reechoed through the audiences after Hed-da Gabler" had been staged Tues-day and Wednesday nights, De-cember 11-12. This, Henrik Ibsen's coldest play, was certainly no ordinary production and the cast did it justice by an extradordinary per-formance. Elizabeth Busch was Hedda "dyed in the wool." Her cold egotism was perfected throughout her fight against the drab, mid-dle- class, respectable world in which she lived. Her triumphal climax came at the end of the third act when she deliberately burned the manuscript for Lov-borg's new book. Eilert Lovborg (the "converted sinner"), a brilliant young scholar who had been in love with Hedda, was the part mastered by Harold Houske. Houske might well be the protege of Lauren Bacall as far as "the look" goes. Hedda's professionally minded husband George Tesman was very well portrayed by Kermit Dahl. His periodic outbursts of "Well fancy that, eh!" were an art in themselves. James Munck did an excellent job as Judge Brack. His part as an "educated wolf" was really a masterpiece of acting. Flickering her eyelashes kept Naomi Seim on her toes as the sweet Mrs. Elvsted, a former ac-quaintance of Hedda's who helped Lovborg get a grip on himself and inspired him to write a bril-liant book, the manuscript of which Hedda burned. Gertrude Locke truly brought Tesman's Aunt Julia to life. Bouquets to Marian Holden for taking over the part of Bertha, the maid, Tuesday afternoon when Rosemary Dougherty who was to have taken the part become ill. Marian took over like a trooper in spite of her last min-ute's notice. L. R. Kramer, director, and his assistant Elva Pfeifle deserve con-gratulations for the wonderful job they accomplished in pro-ducing the play. It showed much technique and skill of directing and the resulting interpretation of "Hedda Gabler" was an in-genious piece of work. BEAT GUSTAVUS ! ! LDR Holds Party At Stavig Home The home of President and Mrs. L. M. Stavig will be the scene of the LDR's annual Christ-mas party beginning at 7:30 Sat-urday night. The program, which will center around the life of Mary, with Crystal Johnson as reader, will also include the singing of Christ-mas carols. A committee headed by Margie Kverness is in charge of the program and the lunch which will follow. A Christmas mission offering will be taken at this meeting. All Augustana LDR girls are cordially invited to attend this Yuletide observance. LDR president, Elda Ust, has announced that Christmas gifts for the Beresford home are to be left at the bookstore by Monday, December 17.

Students Say: "We Will Fight Another War" Question of the week: Do you believe the war we have just fought will end all wars? Betty Farnsworth—Absoutely not. If two people can't get along, how can a world of varied peo-ples do so? Eugene Schuster—No. We will fight again in about seven years because some disputes were not settled. Jeanie Thraen—No. We will fight Russia. Joyce Van Steenwyck—No. Wars are too profitable for big bus-iness men even though it is the little people who suffer. Arla Dalen—Definitely no. The Bible says there will be wars and as long as humanity re-mains as it is there will be wars. Harold Houske and Percy Kirkeby —No. We will fight with Rus-sia. Mary Sherwin — Inevitably, be-cause there will be the same fight for balance of powers there has been since time im-memorial. Dorothy Peterson—No. In an-other 30 years we will be fight-ing a war with Russia. Vernon Clark—There will be an-other war caused by internal strife between Capital and Labor. Celia Wollmann — No. We will face Russia anytime now. Marjorie Thorson — No. We will fight Russia. Ken Christopherson—No. We will fight Russia in 7 years. BEAT GUSTAVUS Civic Music to Hear String Quartet Civic Music members will hear the Lerner String Quartet at their next concert Monday, De-cember 17. The program also features the noted Russian pianist Ania Dorfmann. The concert will be held at the Washington high school auditorium and will start promptly at 8:15 p. m. Mundt Discusses Russian Affairs by Wes Sandvig Congressman Karl Mundt, of Madison, who has recently toured Europe twice as a member of the House Foreign Relations committee, spoke at chapel exercises last Monday morning, December 10. Mr. Mundt began by stating that different meanings of terminology and differences in thinking were great causes of trouble between European nations and this country. All terms should be specifically defined before being used to avoid misunderstanding. Congressman Mundt then en-tered into his discussion of Russia. Russia, the head of the Fascist clan of nations, is the second largest and second important country in the world and one that we must learn to live at peace with. "Russia today is a country of very self-confident people . . . al-most to the point of conceit," declared Mundt and followed this by saying, "Russians are also very realistic." Then, too, the Russians are engaged in an expansion movement which they complete by either absorption, adoption, or assimilation of the small countries bordering their own. In discussing the religious prob-lem Mundt said 600 churches were now in operation — 599 Russian Orthodox and one Roman Cath-olic. However, attendance is dis-couraged and the seminary is un-der government control. There-fore, although it cannot be crush-ed, the church will never be al-lowed to speak in opposition. Looking to the immediate future, Mundt stated that Rus-sia would not want a war with us for awhile because of five ddeficiencies. First, no atom bomb; second, no navy; third, under - mechanized army; fourth, an absolute air force and fifth, the lack of proper industry. Concluding his statements the Congressman declared that "Joe Russian has a soft spot in his heart for Ainerica" and therefore we can live in peace. But Mundt Rural Conference To Be Held Here July 15-19, 1946 is the date scheduled for the Rural Life Con-ference to be held on the Aug-ustana campus, one of the three places in the United States where these conferences are being held.

With the "double system of po-litical morality" done away with, friendly relations could be con-tinued.
