February 25, 1942 Augustana Host to Three-Day Gross Wins Huron Extern!), Committees McBath Takes Discussion for Banquet Are Named Date Tentatively LSU Convention Opening Friday James McBath Houske Second in Peace Oratory Augustana's speech squad, win-ners of the Red River Valley tournament and the Rocky Moun-tain speech confab, lost the South Dakota forensics sweepstakes by lane point. At the contest held in Huron February 20-21, Augus-tana garnered 34 points compared to Yankton college's 35. McBath Tops Field of 30 James McBath, with two firsts at Moorhead and four top rank-ings at Denver already to his cre-dit, came through to win first place in the extempore, discussion of inter-American affairs. A total of 30 entrants from the various colleges battled it out in the first rounds, with the field then nar-rowing to 10. In the finals Augus-tana had three entrants compet- - ing against three each from USD, DWU, and one from Northern. McBath will enter the regional contest next month, with the re-gional winner being awarded a trip to South Dakota, all expenses paid. The contest has been spon-sored by the office of co-ordinator of inter-American affairs. In that the extempore discus-sion was a speCial division, Mc- Bath's winning did not add any points to the state event wins which Augustana piled up. Gross Wins Men's Extemp Don Gross swept a -field of nine entrants to win the men's extemp division, and to quote Coach Hugo Carlson, "That was really a tough contest." Gross has, thus far in the season, teamed with McBath to win 18 rounds of debate with no defeats. -Houske, Bekke, Driver Place Harold Houske, Augie's most thorough-going skeptic," took sec-ond place in the peace oratory division. Avis Bekke, Red River winner, placed third in women's extemp, with Evelyn Driver placing sev-enth in oratory. Evelyn was one of Augustana's three finalists in the inter-American discussion, one of two girls allowed in the finals. McBath was second-place win-ner in men's oratory. Squad personnel for participa-tion in the St. Thomas tourna-ment on March 2, 3, 4 has not yet been determined, but Augustana will be well-represented in all di-visions. After this week-end, Dick Nel-son will be able to take that dazed look off his face and go back to his classes. Have you noticed how the cam-pus is being brightened for the convention? Polishing furniture, waxing floors, and putting the finishing touches on the newly decorated parlors in the boys dorm are a few of the prepara-tions. Don Gross Mirror-ist ,Fills Minute Woman Role Like to know how it feels to be in the movies? Just ask Shirley Morgan, because for one whole minute last Thursday, February 19, she emoted in front of the camera for a national news reel. Shirley's big opportunity came when two gentlemen from Washington D. C., called upon the Augustana speech department to recom-mend a typical girl to repre-sent the college in the reel, which is being made to pro-mote the national sale of de-fense bonds and stamps. Shirley got the nod and was interviewed by these gentle-men for two hours, during which they learned the na-ture of the work being done here in the interest of de-fense. A minute script was written for her, which she read, the content running to the effect that Augus-tana girls are doing their bit by knitting for the Red Cross. The reel is being sponsored by the treasury department and will include people from all walks of life throughout the country. It will be shown in theaters all over the nation. Shirley said she "wasn't a bit nervous, but I wish I might have used my own words so I would have felt more at home." Miss Galvin Set for April According to the ,arrangements committee, the date for the jun-ior- senior banquet h been ten-tatively set for the second week in April. Members oft this com-mittee are; Dolores Edwards, chairman; Ed Pinney, and Ran-dolph Peterson. Serene Tonning heads the date committee and acting with her are Harriet White, Leighland Johnson, and Paul Aspaas. Chairman for the collection of dues is Phil Megard. Otherepem-bers of the committee art: Bill McCormick, Ruth Seim, Audrey Thompson, Gordon Thu e, Vic-tor Odland and Bob Clikeman. The program committee con-sists of Norman Sampson and Connie Haugse, co-chairmen, Har-riet Johnson, Charles Carlson and Ole Odland. On the invitation committee are Loes Monk, chairman; An-nette Endahl, Emerine Pederson, and Betty Brumbaugh. Leonard Payne and Dorothy Collins are co-chairmen for the decoration committee.. Other members are Peggy Swancutt, Eileen Fosland, John De Roos, Ann Nelson, Marcia Henderson, Betty Dempster, Nick Petrakis, Maury Matson, Lillian Juul, Jean Bowen, Florence Olson and Eula Mae Jertson. Oratory Members Speak to Downtown Commerce Groups Members of Dean Keith Case's advanced oratory class have en-tered whole-heartedly into the Junior Chamber of Commerce's "Americanism" program. Connie Haugse, prominent dramatics board member, spoke over sta-tion KSOO on Friday, February 20. Also speaking on Friday were Dick Nelson and Ruth Seim, who addressed a special assembly at All Saints school. Last Tuesday night, these three spoke to the Junior Chamber's Speakers' Bureau, and were criti-cized and evaluated by the mem-bers. Palmer Loken and Audrey Thompson, together with perhaps three others still to be chosen, will take part in a panel discussion at a meeting of the Lutheran Brotherhood on Tuesday, March third. Do you like crowds of people, fun and excitement? Then Au-gustana will be the place for you during the press and LSU con-ventions beginning day after to-morrow. Busses full of students from Concordia, St. Olaf, Luther, and the Academy will pull into the campus to unload on Friday, a sight which gives Rev. Olsen a thrill. He is especially looking forward to welcoming and meet-ing them, humorously adding that he can hear a good speaker any time, as, for instance, when he preaches. As Margaret Molberg con-templates the coming thrills her mind drifts back over the highlights of the five annual LSU conventions and two press conferences she has at-tended thus far. Her thoughts linger upon banquet memo-ries of the last convention at Augustana. "It was informal and loads of fun. Puns and jokes followed one after an-other. Comparisons of re-verse date nights among the schools were especially funny." Dorm devotions in character-istically informal attire is a mem-ory from Concordia which Evelyn Granskou treasures. The dimly lighted room and inspired singing produced a feeling of close asso-ciation that she will never forget. She remembers also the humor-ous skits from each school at which she laughed so heartily. The stimulating discussions char-acteristic of these conventions is what she looks forward to during this week-end. Dick Nelson eagerly awaits the coming of Rev. Field, who will lead the singing during the sessions, and Rev. Oscar Hanson, both of whom have vital personalities. Thinking of conventions brings to his mind recollections of the bliz-zardly weather of last year. He lost a rubber helping to push the Augie bus out of the ditch into which it had slip-ped. Eula Mae Jertson remembers the huge attendance at the ban-quet at Luther. Though their gym, at least as large as ours, was filled with tables, more places were needed, so chairs were placed at the ends as well as sides of the tables. At Concordia she was impressed with the ex-tent to which the whole college backed every session and assim-ilated its visitors. The thoughts of Bob Haaken-son, elected president of the press convention for this year while at Concordia, are centered about a convention publication to be re-leased for the first time this year. Delegates at the press conference, which is closely allied with the LSU convention, will print a paper covering all events of the LSU convention. These papers will be distributed amongst all member colleges, being available on the Augustana campus Sunday noon as the convention draws to a close. Watch for the twelve foot LSU convention banner with the LSU motto and convention theme on it. It will be framed and trans-ferred to the center of activity throughout the weekend. Con-gratulations to Mavis Hanson and Bob Gabel on their work in mak-ing this banner. Norse Club Holds Meeting "Latest News from Norway," was Ruth Seim's topic when she spoke at the meeting of the Norse Club in the Ad building on Feb-ruary 18. The entire program for the evening was given by the first year class. Other selections were a vocal solo by Leonard Benson, Norwegian riddles by Lester Ax-dahl, and group singing of Nor-wegian songs. The next meeting of the club is to be held the second Wednes-day of March and the program will be given by the second year class. Press Confab Is Opener; Register Friday Afternoon As host for the LSU conven-tion centering around the theme "One Life to Give," the Augustana campus will hum with activity this week-end. Delegations are expected from Luther, St. Olaf, Concordia, Fairview Hospital, Lutheran Deaconess Home, Augustana Academy and Pacific Luth-eran. Convention Paper is Innovation Arrangements for the LSU Press Convention beginning Fri-day morning, are in charge of Bob Haakenson, president, and secretary Percy Kirkeby. This organization was formed to pro-mote better interest in religious activities through the various col-lege papers, giving special em-phasis to the LSU activities. An innovation this year will be the convention paper which will be out on Sunday. Free registration for the con-vention will be carried on in the recreation room Friday afternoon, where all LSU'ers will choose their interest groups and receive programs, badges, and identifi-cation tags. Following the informal mixer and fellowship supper, special busses and cars will take students to the candlelight service at First Lutheran Church. This service promises to be one of the most distinctive features of the con-vention. Rev. Oscar Hanson, formerly YPLL president and pastor at Watertown, will be the speaker. Rev. Hanson is now Ex-ecutive Secretary of YPLL in Minneapolis. Others on the pro-gram include Peggy Blatherwick, Audrey Brenne, Evelyn Gran-skou, and members of the choir. Crowded Program Saturday Rev. L. N. Field, the jovial Mon-tanan who is now in the depart-ment of religion at Luther, will lead the hymn sing on Saturday morning, followed by Bible Study with Rev. Hanson. Missionary Daniel Nelson, just back from China and now studying in New York City, will conduct the mis-sion hour. The noon luncheon will be served buffet style in the Huddle. A special bus will take students who attended Fair Hills Camp last summer to a luncheon at the Chocolate Shop. Election of officers for the en-suing year will be the principal feature of the business meeting at 1:30. Rev. All M. Kraabel will conduct the afternoon mission hour. Rev. Kraabel is pastor of Central Lutheran church in Port-land, Oregon. The interest groups will be led by Prof. T. Huggenvik of St. Olaf; Prof. C. Ylvisaker, Concordia; Rev. A. E. Hanson of Brookings; Rev. Kraabel; and Rev. Nelson. Highlight of the weekend will be the convention banquet to be held at First Lutheran at 7:00 Saturday evening. Toastmaster Sterling Simonson, Augustana alumnus now studying at Luther Theological Seminary, will intro-duce the speaker, Rev. Daniel Nelson. Other features include installation of new officers and pictures taken at Fair Hills camp this past summer. Communion Service Sunday Rev. Kraabel will deliver the communion service sermonette on Sunday morning, with Rev. H. J. Glenn presiding over the liturgy. "One Life Completed" is to be the topic of the sermon which Dr. J. A. Aasgaard, President of NC LA, will deliver at the closing festival service. The Augustana choir will sing two numbers and a convention offering will be taken. LSU Vice-President Dick Nel-son, who has been in charge of complete arrangements for the convention, urges that everyone be on time for all sessions. Faculty Wedding Bells Prof. Larson Robert Larson, mathematics professor, will join the ranks of the married teachers at Augustana this Friday, February 27, when Fern Galvin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul C. Galvin, of Cedar Falls, Iowa, will become his bride in a home ceremony. After their return to Sioux Falls, Mr. and Mrs. Larson will reside at 603 South Prairie Avenue.
