Dak. • BUY STAMPS WEDNESDAY • Vol. XXIV, No. 2 Gjervik, Kirkeby, Houske Vie for Student Prexy Post Drama Will Open Tonight --Case Junior Engineers May Train Here `Watch' Plays Through Saturday Despite as hectic a pre-production week as seen by any play at Augustana, 'Watch on the Rhine" will go on the boards to-night at 8:15, says Direc-tor Kieth E. Case. Origin-ally set for its first night Wednesday, the opening was postponed at the last minute due to inclement weather and the illness of Virginia Voss, who plays a character role in the production. By Shirley Morgan "Watch on the Rhine," timely and suspense-filled drama by Lillian Hellman, will be presented tonight in the school auditorium by one of the most skilled and ex-perienced casts yet to appear in one play. Directed by Keith Case, Seen on the campus: Corp. Neil Jacobsen of the Army air corps. He was home on furlough from Rapid City where his unit is training. Excerpt from a letter received last week from A/C "Speed" Hill-man, now stationed in San An-tinio: —the toughest part of my army life this far is still the six months I spent waiting for my induction. — Ren Anderson's phys. ed. classes would be like like a rest period after the cal-isthenics we have now. —Everything in the army is rumored to be much worse than it really is. The resultant let-down is always a pleasant sur-prise. This life isn't what it's cracked up to be, but is plenty 0. K. It also seems that "Speed" has either learned from experience or at least investigated the meaning of the word, gig. "Gig—extra military instruc-tion consisting of one or more hours walk on the ramp, or company street, in class A uni-form and white gloves. * * * * * A furlough is a popular thing, these days. Take it from Lt. Wy-man W. Wumkes, who, with his clipped blonde tresses, and offi-cers uniform, took a look at the campus this weekend. W.W.W. is newly graduated from the medical administration and on his way to a new post. Also furlough-ing was Corporal "Diz" Hayenga who starts school February 13 at Ft. Washington, Md. His work is in military per-sonnel. it will be perhaps the best produc-tion ever staged by the Augustana College Theatre, if the dress-re-hearsal witnessed by this reviewer is an indication of what may be expected. The story is concerned prim-arily with a family of refugees who have escaped from Europe to what they hope is safety with re-latives in the United States. Washington Is Scene All action takes place in the Farrelly house about 20 miles out of Washington, D. C. Fanny Far-relly and her bachelor son, David, are expecting the arrival of their daughter and sister, Sara, with her family after a 20-year ab-sence. Sara's husband, Kurt Mul-ler, is at the head of some of the underground work of the anti- Fascist group in Germany. Sev-eral of his friends have been cap-tured, and he is on the list of those desired by the Nazi government. Count De Brancovis, once con-nected with a Nazi ring, and his wife, Marthe, have been some-what impecunious guests in the Farrelly house for six weeks. "The biggest reason for the drop in registration is due to joining the army, navy, or marines, or expecting to be called at anytime, Dr. Hauge disclosed today. "Al-though," he added, "compared with the number who enrolled at the beginning of the spring term, this figure is about right." Three boys have already left for the military service. They are R o b e r t Wengert, sophomore, James Kalz, freshman, and Oliver Resel, who is also a freshman. (A complete story will be run later on all the boys who have left, and the branch of the service they have enlisted in.) Eleven boys and seven girls have registered since the count last Tuesday. This brings the number of students enrolled to 403. Of these eighteen, all are old students except Betty Carleton Lee who transfered from the Art Institute in Chicago. The surveying class, which deals largely in military tactics, is one of the most popular subjects offered and has the largest enroll-ment per class of all the courses on the campus. Lutheran Church's Part In War Service Discussed Dr. Clemens M. Granskou re-turned Saturday from the Nat-ional American Lutheran confer-ence held at Minneapolis Jan. 27, 28, 29. The purpose of this organized group of the Lutheran denomina-tion in the United States is to take care of problems of cooper-ation and the various council meetings within the church. The main goals set at this conference centered about war service and the work which the Lutheran church is doing toward it. During this time Marthe has fal-len in love with David and in-tends to leave her husband. The Count, meanwhile, has discovered Kurt's connection with German anti-Fascists. The story reaches a dramatic climax when De Bran-covis attempts to sell what he knows to Kurt rather than to the German Embassy, and Kurt must decide what course to take in or-. der to protect both himself and his friends in Europe. The extraordinarily able actors make actual criticism almost impossible. Each de-serves individual recogni-tion. Ruth Arnold is probably the most outstanding for her beauti-fully sympathetic portrayal of Sara Muller. This is her first ap-pearance before our footlights. Bob Snook is also exceptional as Kurt Muller. He is up to his usual high standard in a part that called for complete understand-ing of the unusual character. Both roles can easily become melo- (continued to page 3) Rev. Geo. Gustaf son Is Speaker at LSA Speaking before the L. S. A. group Sunday evening, the Rev. George Gustafson of the Augus-tana Lutheran church, used the theme, "Let your light so shine before men." Vocal selections were sung by Beverly Kittleson and Paul Ham-mond. Devotions were led by Les-ter Axdahl. Ice skating at Drake Springs followed the devotional meeting. By Alicelouise Ruys Betcha I know something you don't know. Betcha you didn't know that Ground Hog Day had a religious origin. No hay, that's a fact! February 2 is known in some churches as Candlemas Day. It commemorates the presentation of Christ in the temple at Jeru-salem. The association of the ground-hog with Candlemas Day is an American variation, long wide-spread in the rural world, that a sunny Candlemas pre-sages a cold spring. It is reflected in the Scottish saying, "Did-you say 10c?" or "If Candlemas is fair and clear, there'll be two winters in the year," or as our ruralites say, "February, second day, have half your corn and half your hay." Ground Hog Day's Out-Moded But I firmly believe that Ground Hog day should be no longer an accepted tradition. It is outmoded and out-of-date. In the first place, how can a woodchuck dare to predict weather in this Augustana is prepared to offer a new government course which will train girls especially, for jobs as junior engineers. Inquiries can be made at the registrar's office concerning time and pre-requis-ites. College - trained persons are sought for-on-the-job training in engineering in the Federal ser-vice, the U. S. Civil Service Com-mission announces. Graduates and senior students majoring in any field are urged to make them-selves available for engineering activity which may lead to an at-tractive career. Women particul-arly are sought. Positions are as junior engineer. The entrance salary is $2,000 a year, not including payment for authorized overtime, which under certain conditions may amount to as much as 20% of the yearly salary. For those who have not had previous training in engineer-ing, a war training course has been specially planned, covering the fundamentals of junior en-gineer work in a Federal agency. Applications may be made by graduates or senior students in any field, provided they enroll in the special ESMWT course, "En-gineering Fundamentals, Junior Engineer - Supplemental." En-gineering senior students or grad-uates may qualify without further training, as may also graduates or senior students in astronomy, chemistry, geology, physics, math-ematics, and engineering sciences who can show 6 semester hours in strictly engineering subjects. In lieu of these 6 semester hours in engineering subjects, the com-pletion of any ESMWT course in engineering will be accepted. To help meet the war demand for trained physicists, the Univer-sity of Texas has created a new degree, Bachelor of Science in Physics. era of wartime censorship? We ourselves can say only, "The weather is," but along comes a small critter that proudly pro-claims six more weeks of winter. Another reason why I wonder that a woodchuck dares to pre-dict the weather, centers around the meat situation. How can he risk his life by appearing above ground for even long enough to see his shadow? But maybe he realized that the meat in Sioux Falls is frozen. Betcha he was, too. How About A Substitute? Therefore, I advocate the eras-ing of this threadbare custom in the face of wartime situations. In its place I would like to propose a holiday known as Wimpy Day. You all know Wimpy as the character in Popeye who loves hamburgers. "Ground hog" is hamburger, and since Wimpy dotes on hamburgers, why not a Wimpy Day? In closing, I would like to ask one more question: "How much wood can a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck can chuck wood?" Formal Campaign to Be Launched in Chapel Friday Eid, Markley Run For Vice President Beginning in student body on Friday, February 5 the annual student body election campaign will carry on until Tuesday Feb-ruary 9. Main contestants in the race are the nominees for the position of president, Stan Gjervik, Percy Kirkeby, and Harold Houske. Other nominees announced for the various student governing positions include: Margaret Eid and Elizabeth Markley vice presi-dent; Phyllis Riley and Bergie Halverson secretary; Alden Hovda and LaVerne Howe, treasurer; Bob Delap and Paul Olson, sopho-more representative; Bob Carlson and Phil Worthington, freshman representative; Religion board Chairman, Leon Holm (uncon-tested); Viking Day Chairman, Lynne Stout (uncontested); ath-letic treasurer, Oliver Storsteen and Ole Haugeaurde; athletic board, Cupie Ormseth, Don Hal-vorson, Charles Okey and Phil Nelson; social board chairman, Audrey Stark, Audrey Brenne, Dorothy Lou Johnson, Carol Pin-ney, Norman Erickson, Norma Nelson, Wiston Wetteland and Ernie Svensen; chairman of music board, Mark Odland and Lucille Skyberg; Foresnic board, Ruth Arnold, Elzabeth Graff, Connie Kleinheintz, and Paul Wagner. Election will be held in the Ad building next week. A ugustana Debaters Hosts to SDS Team The Augustana college debate squad was host at a dinner held in the banquet room of the Hud-dle last Friday night. Their guest was the South Dakota State Col-lege team. After the dinner Don Thompson, Paul Wagner, Ruth Arnold and Jim McBath of Aug-ustana debated on the question — "Resolved that the United Nations should form a permanent govern-ment" with the Brookings team. The outcome was non-decision. Toastmistresses Hear Women's Debate Teams "Did you ever hear the one a-bout the two morons who , " this and more like it is what you would have heard at the meeting of the Toastmistress club in the Huddle annex on January 28. The jokes were part of the table topic under the leadership of Barbara Kleinheintz. Main speaches for the evening took the form of a debate with Ruth Arnold and Ruth Seim speaking against Betty Markley and Alice Thomas. Toastmistress for the evening was Evelyn Olsen. Attention, Seniors All seniors and second year normal students who plan to teach either next fall or some-time in the future, please see Mrs. Lofthus in the placement bureau soon. G. I.
