Alvin Rogness Five Combined Recitals Remain Recitals are still playing a prominent role in the minds of Augie's music lovers. In her freshman recital, Doro-thy Ann Wheeler played Friday night with great agility and dex-terous movement. The three movements, of Bach's "Toccata in C Minor," were rendered with much feeling and precision. The second division, which consisted of one number, "The Carnaval" by Schumann, included the inter-pretation of many scenes and characters within a carnival. Lighter numbers were the make-up of the last group. Another freshman recital was given Tuesday night with Beverly Kittelson, mezzo - soprano, and Rosemary Dougherty, pianist. While Beverly sang three groups of selections, Rosemary played two. Last night R. J. Guderyahn pre-sented six of his pupils in his string recital. Classical selections of Bruch, Mendelssohn, Sarasate, and Bangoens were some of the numbers played by Audrey Wal-stad, Kathryn Paiggi, Jane Rubin, Helen Drake, Audrey Stark, and Evelyn Granskou. Tonight Mr. Guderyahn will again present his students in an ensemble program. Tomorrow night is the last vocal recital by Lucille Skyberg, mezzo-soprano, and Paul Eid, tenor.

The first term opens on May 31 and runs until July 9; the second term begins July 12 and ends August 21. Pre-clinical work for nurses who are going into training at Sioux Valley Hospital in Sioux Falls and at Luther Hospital at Watertown in September, will be given by the biology department.

Arrange For Practice Teaching Special methods of teaching social science and English, along with practice teaching in high school, will be on the curriculum. Dr. Hauge, registrar, has re-quested that those who wish to do practice teaching this summer make arrangements before hand. Courses will be offered making it possible for high school grad-uates to begin their college course during the summer months. Freshmen who begin their regu-lar college work now will be able to complete a four year course in two years and nine months of continuous study.

Courses not now on the summer schedule may be arranged if there is sufficient demand for them. Six semester hours a term is consider-ed a normal load. Find Those Lost Books To Find Your Grades Before you start worrying a-bout what your grades are, you better make sure you'll get them. And you won't if you have a lib-rary fine. Miss Selma Hogenson has set May 21 as the deadline. The names of students who have not returned books by then will be turned into the business office and no grades will be relinguished until the fine has been paid.
