Opponents of the plan have been heard in Kenneth Raschke ant, George Rudolph. Before the issue goes to a vote it is expected several more studen. body meetings will be held.

Kohl; "Free Land," by Rose Wilder Lane; "The Life of And'-iv Jackson," by Marquis James; "Franz Shubert," by Newman Flower; "Through Science to God,' by Nathan Smyth; "A History of Scandinavian Literature," by Gio-vanni Bach; and "The Political Guide," by Dorothy Thompson. Verse by U. S. D. Librarian "Killdeer," a collection of verse by Mabel Kingsley Richardson, the librarian of the U. of S. D., is also included. "Pedlar's Progress," another in the group, by Odell Shepherd, tells the life of Bronson Alcoa, from peddling to transcendentalism, from rocky hills of West Connecticut to the Concord school of philosophy Outstanding also are "Middle-town in Transition," a study of "midland America as it faces an uncertain future," by Robert anu Helen Merrell Lynd; "John of the Mountains," the unpublished jour-nals of the poet and scientist John Muir, by Linnie Marsh Wolfe; "Au-gustus," a revealing book on the famed Octavius Augustus, by John Buchan., and "The Modern Ibsen, a recent interpretation by Hermann Weigand.

J. Moses and J. M. Brown, were added to the dramatic section. New Durant Book Listed Science books, among them "The Advance of Science" by Davis Wat-son; "The Religion of Scientists" by C. L. Drawbridge and "Electric-ity" by Prof. W. L. Bragg, topped the new collection in number. In the new "South Dakota Guide," compiled by the Federal Writers' Project of the S. D.

Books of history, education, phy-sical training, foreign trade, psy-chology and philosophy complete this outstanding collection of new books added to the library. Peace Leader Confers With Student Leaders Robert Burgess, field secretary for the student peace service section of the American Friends Service Com-mittee, was in Sioux Falls last Thursday and Friday. Visiting Sioux Falls college and Augustana college he met with student leaders of the two campuses in regard to a South Dakota Intercollegiate Peace council to be held soon. The place where the council will take place has as yet not been established. The American Friends Service Committee carries on peace programs through 500 colleges. Every spring they sponsor the annual anti-war strike. The student body expresses its sincerest sympathy to Dr. Tonning in the loss of his mother. With a flareup of old the Viking and the Brave student bodies swung into action Friday as the Augus-tana rooters whipped into frenzied loyalty by a pep meeting, topped it off by a snake dance invasion of the Sioux Falls fortress. An unpre pared student body soon worked into a compact cheering section. The two groups met on the lawn of the Baptist institution and had a battle of yells. Then action of the Sioux Falls collegians in coming to the Augie stronghold brought both groups in the Viking buildings in more or less order and disorder where another group of cheer fest was held. Mostly good natured jostling the crowd narrowly escaped violence several times when Sioux Fallsite began an effort to push the Au guscanans from their campus bod-ily and again when a water hose was turned on the invaders at Au-gustana. Rotten eggs appeared out of a clear sky to enhance the ola time atmosphere. It is expected that the abortive uprising will result in suppression of the petition for Armistice Day freedom which was chosen as a school day by the students in pre-ference to Nov. 3, the National Cornhusking date. A subsequent pe-tition urged the suspension of school on Armistice also. President Granskou expressed re-gret that the students had gone as far as they did, lamenting the loss of time which the students are bringing upon themselves. Eidsness Speaks To L.D.R. On Nursing Profession Opal Eidsness, former school nurse, spoke at the LDR meeting on the subject, "Christ as a Life Investment in the Nursing Profes-sion." Ramona Opheim accompanied by Helen Ytterness played a flute solo and the Sioux Valley nurses sextette sang two numbers—"Prayer Perfect" and "Come Thou Almight King." Verna Hesby sang a solo. "With Thee, 0 Master Let Me Walk." The program was planner by Viola Sagge. Connie Larson, delegate to the LDR convention a. Lennox, brought a report back tc We girls at the clof., of the meet-ing. Brawny Lighweights, Star on Honor System As this issue goes to press, a fierce, see-saw battle is being waged between the New Dealers and the Rebels for the right to say whether or not Augustana shall be repre-sented on the Honor System roll. It is half-time, the score 2-0 in favor of the Rebels, and during intermission both teams are re-organizing their forces for a ter-rific last half battle. The game thus far has featured powerful offensive tactics by the Rebels and sensational goal-line stands by the New Dealers. Referee Eid called the game at ten o'clock Monday morning and it has continued throughout the week. Outstanding first half players were Bracker, spindly end; Lovald, long-legged All-American quarter-back; and Eid, pint-size tackle, for the New Dealers; while for the Rebels, Raschke, scintillating tail-back, and Rudolph, new hard-driving fullback, have been out-standing. Halvorson and Ausan standing. Halvorson and Ausan have shown sterling work in the New Deal line which is made up of: End—cheating; Tackle—the evil at its origin; Guard—it by the Honor System. Thus making the Student Body the Center—of government at Augustana. Play-by-play description of the first half: Bracker kicked off against the wind, claim ing the Honor Sys-tem would eliminate cheating. Raschke returned the kick deep into New Deal territory on a sen-sational run that brought the crowd to its feet, intimating that the Honor System as advocated by Bracker was not a system of honor but of regimentation. He was finally downed on the 25 ,'ard line by Lovald who, with a vicious tackle that hurt Raschke somewhat, informed us of the fact that Augustana student body had the freest student body govern-ment of S. D. colleges and that the adoption of the Honor Sys-tem would give it more control. The inspired Raschke reeled off an end sweep that nearly hit pay dirt before being stopped. He said he'd rather have the profes-sor trying to catch him cheating. The Rebels found a couple more holes in the enemy's line, but the Ncw Dual second.rry came up fast (Continued page 3) Guest Ministers To Speak Religious Emphasis Week Final plans are being made for Religious Emphasis Week—which will be held Monday, Nov. 28. through Saturday, Dec. 3. The speakers secured for the week are Rev. J. L. Kildahl of Webster, S. D., and Rev. Joseph Knutson of Lake Mills, Ia. Prof. Stanley Olsen is also invi: ing several students from the Theo-logical seminary in St. Paul. Reuben Wangeberg, president of the LSU, will be one of the guests throughout the week. Mighty Eid Crushes Rambunctious Rodent By Florence Devick Who would ever think that the student body president would come CO mouse-killing? Or maybe he was showing his Viking fierceness when he slew the "monster" who set the library into a room of terror. Perhaps the experience was a new one for the books too, be-cause Esther Ekberg, the librarian on duty at the time, used the books to stop up all means of entry, thinking to prevent any reappearance of the mouse. But books failed, for the little fiend, after carefully spying on attempts to be rid of him scur-ried boldly across the floor from his corner, to send Miss Ekberg to seek safety by standing on a chair, and to make the other stu-dents in the library jittery and slightly panicky. Here's where "Lute" shone. Late in the afternoon when the mouse had been on his spree for almost a day, he became a bit too brave with wandering around the li-brary at will, so that when Mr. Eid made a quick aim and shot out his number eights with sur-prising rapidity, the mouse was caught unawares between the floor and the sole of Lute's shoe and cruelly crushed. The sympathies of the stu-dents at hand rose to a high level and Clarence Erickson, out of sheer pity, attached a string to the wee dead creature and led a procession to the waste basket. There the mouse was properly buried. A wreath of garden flowers, furnished by Margaret Allan and originally intended to brighten a corner in the library, was used to decorate the burial place. This should be a warning to any mice who dare frequent the Augustana library. We Vikings are fierce! Dramatic Club Members Frolic On Ghosts Night On the evening of Halloween the Blackfriars held their first social event of the season—gathering in the gym at 8:15—leaving well after 10 o'clock. Under the general chairmanship of Astrid Tenning and due to the help of her willing appointees, the entertainment—formal and informal —was enjoyed by all, as was the lunch consisting of cake and ice cream (served by an unknown man with a silver grey mustache) who probably wished to remain incognito. Vivienne Archer began the formal program by telling about "rabbit. and rabbits." Anyone wishing to find out about these animals is to sec Vivienne as soon as possible. "Love Is So Sweet in the Springtime" fol-lowed sung by Agnes Overseth. Ruth Stumley, and Elden Samp, Art Olson, and Paul Sather were fea-tured in a comical skit in which "Napoleon" (Sather) showed true evidences of creative impromptu dia-logue. Following this short snappy program Agnes Overseth, committee chairman, gave over the program to Aileen McDonald who led the group in various games. Miss Helen Farley acted as fac-ulty guest. Faculty Members Will Attend Nebraska Confab The conference for teachers of Lutheran church colleges is to be held this year at Midland college. Fremont, Neb., Nov. 25 and 26. Last year the conference met at Lu-ther college. The Norwegian Lu-theran church and the Ohio Synod send the majority of faculty mem-bers. The United Lutheran church is also represented. Miss Hogenson, Prof. Blegen, and Dr. Hoyem are included on the pro-gram. Others who are going include the following: 0. Hofstad, Stanley Olsen, H. Blegen, J. Berdahl, I. B. Hauge, 0. Tollevs, Evelyn Nilsen, Helen Farley and 0. Tonning. Rev. Glenn To Edit `The Lutheran Teacher' Rev. H. J. Glenn, D. D., pastor of the First Lutheran church of Sioux Falls, was recently appointed editor of "The Lutheran Teacher" by the board of elementary Chris-tian education of the Norwegian Lu-theran Church of America. "The Lutheran Teacher," pu' lisped weekly in the interests of elementary Christian education, i issued directly from the educational office in Minneapolis, under the direction of Dr. J. C. K. Preus. Through the editorial department Rev. Glenn sets forth what the Christian gospel is from the Lu theran point of view and endeavors to challenge the Sunday school teacher with a vision of the magni-tude of his or her task. Bachelors Mistaken, Girls Do Have Dates By Joyce Steinbach Who said we don't have dates?! And why do you fellows insist on taking it for granted that we don't have dates? Maybe you confirmed bachelors haven't been around about door-locking, or ah, doorbell-ringing time to see just how many dorm girls do approach the front door with a satisfied (I hope) escort at her side. But in case you still think the girls are missing the unquestion-able honor of masculine company, it's all because of you men and your lack of originality in finding something new and different to do. Girls, too, know what it's like to be broke—that excuse is old—. It doesn't cost a cent to buzz a girl and have a chat, to get a little needed exercise walking around blocks, to go to a foot-ball game, to chapel or special programs. Think how beneficial you could be in promoting our cultural education! Mr. Shackle-less thinks, "Who's this guy, Egon Petri? Hmmm, coming next Wed-nesday— student activity tickets are good—I wonder, would she?" Would she ever! And both will have enjoyed the concert about six different ways. Smedley Butler Comments On Aids for Eliminating War "There are only two forces that can eliminate the curse of war—re-ligion and education." Thus Smed-ley D. Butler, retired United States Marine Corp general and lecturer, expressed himself as a taxi carried us swiftly toward the Northwestern depot at the conclusion of his en-thusiastically received speech at the Knife and Fork Dinner club. "Both the church and the school let us down during the World war," he said. "They succumbed to the insidious attack of propaganda just as much as the people themselves." An earnest Christian himself, the General declared, "if the church ever consents to another war, I'm going to become a pagan, you can't tell me that Christ, if he were to come down on earth, would shoul-der a gun and march off to war!" "The college," he continued, "is the vital unit in education for dem-ocracy and peace. Democracy is the only form of government that, once established, cannot run itself. Peo-ple must be constantly and care fully educated for democracy." College Symphony Orchestra Makes Radio Debut Sunday The college orchestra, under the direction of R. J. Guderyahn, will broadcast a thirty minute program over the local station Sunday eve-ning, Nov. 13. The program will consist of the following four num-bers: "Scherzade," Part I by Rimsky- Korsakoff ; "Musical Snuff Box" by Liadow; "Blue Danube" by Strauss; "Coronation March" from "The Pro-phet" by Meyerbeer. Program Chosen By Lee Is One of Twelve In Repertoire Drama, Lecturets Next Chinese Monologuist, Speaker To Follow Musician Egon Petri, famous Dutch pian-ist, will be the first on this year's Augustana college artist series. Ht will appear in a program of di versified piano music at the colleg, auditorium tomorrow evening, No vember 9. The program for the concert to be given here at Augustana has been chosen by Prof. J. Earl Lee from a group of twelve. Also Teacher Besides being a pianist of remark-able accomplishments, Petri is also a teacher of excellence, primarily interested in the art of music with the factor of compensation being a minor one. He has concertized ex-tensively throughout Europe and ap-peared as soloist with all the lead-ing symphony orchestras and string quartets of European capitals. Called the "greatest living expon-ent of Liszt," he has recently been honored by Oxford university with the degree of Doctor of Music. Egon Petri comes from an old family of musicians— his grand-father being an excellent organist, his grandfather an accomplished oboist, and his father a prominent violinist, leader of a string quartet, and concert master at Gewandhous, Leipzig, and at the Royal Chapel in Dresden. Two More Planned Two other artist series programs have been definitely planned. On January 20, Soo Yong, Chi-nese actress and dramatic monologu-ist, will appear on the second pr._ gram of the series. Dr. James Davis, former profes-sor of English at Leipzig univer-sity and professor of German at the University of Minnesota, will bt presented in a lecture on the thin, artist series program. Programs of interest to all tht arts, including music, drama, and literature will be presented on the artist series this year. Attendance at the first three programs will de-termine whether there be other programs in the spring. Student President Guest At Wesleyan The Blue and White Homecoming committee of Dakota Wesleyan ex-tended a cordial invitation to the queens and student prexies of Au-gustana college, Sioux Falls col-lege, and Yankton to attend thei. homecoming. Due to the unfortun-ate illness of the Viking quee, Joyce Steinbach, and the clerking duties of Tepee Day queen, Miss Helen Martini, at a local depart-ment store, Luthard Eid, president of the Augustana Student associa tion, and Carl Lundquist, president of the Sioux Falls Student associa-tion, were sole representatives o. their respective colleges. Miss Pio-neer and the student president of Yankton college represented the Pio-neers in full force.

WPA, can be found the history, folklore, scenery, cultural background, racial factors, and social and economic trends of the state, together with the meaning of the official name in Sioux, "an alliance of friends." Noteworthy also in this group are Will Durant's "On the Meaning of Life" and Angelica Balabanoff's. "My Life As a Rebel." Books of history, education, phy-sical training, foreign trade, psy-chology and philosophy complete this outstanding collection of new books added to the library. Peace Leader Confers With Student Leaders Robert Burgess, field secretary for the student peace service section of the American Friends Service Com-mittee, was in Sioux Falls last Thursday and Friday. Visiting Sioux Falls college and Augustana college he met with student leaders of the two campuses in regard to a South Dakota Intercollegiate Peace council to be held soon. The place where the council will take place has as yet not been established. The American Friends Service Committee carries on peace programs through 500 colleges. Every spring they sponsor the annual anti-war strike. The student body expresses its sincerest sympathy to Dr. Tonning in the loss of his mother. With a flareup of old the Viking and the Brave student bodies swung into action Friday as the Augus-tana rooters whipped into frenzied loyalty by a pep meeting, topped it off by a snake dance invasion of the Sioux Falls fortress. An unpre pared student body soon worked into a compact cheering section. The two groups met on the lawn of the Baptist institution and had a battle of yells. Then action of the Sioux Falls collegians in coming to the Augie stronghold brought both groups in the Viking buildings in more or less order and disorder where another group of cheer fest was held. Mostly good natured jostling the crowd narrowly escaped violence several times when Sioux Fallsite began an effort to push the Au guscanans from their campus bod-ily and again when a water hose was turned on the invaders at Au-gustana. Rotten eggs appeared out of a clear sky to enhance the ola time atmosphere. It is expected that the abortive uprising will result in suppression of the petition for Armistice Day freedom which was chosen as a school day by the students in pre-ference to Nov. 3, the National Cornhusking date. A subsequent pe-tition urged the suspension of school on Armistice also. President Granskou expressed re-gret that the students had gone as far as they did, lamenting the loss of time which the students are bringing upon themselves. Eidsness Speaks To L.D.R. On Nursing Profession Opal Eidsness, former school nurse, spoke at the LDR meeting on the subject, "Christ as a Life Investment in the Nursing Profes-sion." Ramona Opheim accompanied by Helen Ytterness played a flute solo and the Sioux Valley nurses sextette sang two numbers—"Prayer Perfect" and "Come Thou Almight King." Verna Hesby sang a solo. "With Thee, 0 Master Let Me Walk." The program was planner by Viola Sagge. Connie Larson, delegate to the LDR convention a. Lennox, brought a report back tc We girls at the clof., of the meet-ing. Brawny Lighweights, Star on Honor System As this issue goes to press, a fierce, see-saw battle is being waged between the New Dealers and the Rebels for the right to say whether or not Augustana shall be repre-sented on the Honor System roll. It is half-time, the score 2-0 in favor of the Rebels, and during intermission both teams are re-organizing their forces for a ter-rific last half battle. The game thus far has featured powerful offensive tactics by the Rebels and sensational goal-line stands by the New Dealers. Referee Eid called the game at ten o'clock Monday morning and it has continued throughout the week. Outstanding first half players were Bracker, spindly end; Lovald, long-legged All-American quarter-back; and Eid, pint-size tackle, for the New Dealers; while for the Rebels, Raschke, scintillating tail-back, and Rudolph, new hard-driving fullback, have been out-standing. Halvorson and Ausan standing. Halvorson and Ausan have shown sterling work in the New Deal line which is made up of: End—cheating; Tackle—the evil at its origin; Guard—it by the Honor System. Thus making the Student Body the Center—of government at Augustana. Play-by-play description of the first half: Bracker kicked off against the wind, claim ing the Honor Sys-tem would eliminate cheating. Raschke returned the kick deep into New Deal territory on a sen-sational run that brought the crowd to its feet, intimating that the Honor System as advocated by Bracker was not a system of honor but of regimentation. He was finally downed on the 25 ,'ard line by Lovald who, with a vicious tackle that hurt Raschke somewhat, informed us of the fact that Augustana student body had the freest student body govern-ment of S. D. colleges and that the adoption of the Honor Sys-tem would give it more control. The inspired Raschke reeled off an end sweep that nearly hit pay dirt before being stopped. He said he'd rather have the profes-sor trying to catch him cheating. The Rebels found a couple more holes in the enemy's line, but the Ncw Dual second.rry came up fast (Continued page 3) Guest Ministers To Speak Religious Emphasis Week Final plans are being made for Religious Emphasis Week—which will be held Monday, Nov. 28. through Saturday, Dec. 3. The speakers secured for the week are Rev. J. L. Kildahl of Webster, S. D., and Rev. Joseph Knutson of Lake Mills, Ia. Prof. Stanley Olsen is also invi: ing several students from the Theo-logical seminary in St. Paul. Reuben Wangeberg, president of the LSU, will be one of the guests throughout the week. Mighty Eid Crushes Rambunctious Rodent By Florence Devick Who would ever think that the student body president would come CO mouse-killing? Or maybe he was showing his Viking fierceness when he slew the "monster" who set the library into a room of terror. Perhaps the experience was a new one for the books too, be-cause Esther Ekberg, the librarian on duty at the time, used the books to stop up all means of entry, thinking to prevent any reappearance of the mouse. But books failed, for the little fiend, after carefully spying on attempts to be rid of him scur-ried boldly across the floor from his corner, to send Miss Ekberg to seek safety by standing on a chair, and to make the other stu-dents in the library jittery and slightly panicky. Here's where "Lute" shone. Late in the afternoon when the mouse had been on his spree for almost a day, he became a bit too brave with wandering around the li-brary at will, so that when Mr. Eid made a quick aim and shot out his number eights with sur-prising rapidity, the mouse was caught unawares between the floor and the sole of Lute's shoe and cruelly crushed. The sympathies of the stu-dents at hand rose to a high level and Clarence Erickson, out of sheer pity, attached a string to the wee dead creature and led a procession to the waste basket. There the mouse was properly buried. A wreath of garden flowers, furnished by Margaret Allan and originally intended to brighten a corner in the library, was used to decorate the burial place. This should be a warning to any mice who dare frequent the Augustana library. We Vikings are fierce! Dramatic Club Members Frolic On Ghosts Night On the evening of Halloween the Blackfriars held their first social event of the season—gathering in the gym at 8:15—leaving well after 10 o'clock. Under the general chairmanship of Astrid Tenning and due to the help of her willing appointees, the entertainment—formal and informal —was enjoyed by all, as was the lunch consisting of cake and ice cream (served by an unknown man with a silver grey mustache) who probably wished to remain incognito. Vivienne Archer began the formal program by telling about "rabbit. and rabbits." Anyone wishing to find out about these animals is to sec Vivienne as soon as possible. "Love Is So Sweet in the Springtime" fol-lowed sung by Agnes Overseth. Ruth Stumley, and Elden Samp, Art Olson, and Paul Sather were fea-tured in a comical skit in which "Napoleon" (Sather) showed true evidences of creative impromptu dia-logue. Following this short snappy program Agnes Overseth, committee chairman, gave over the program to Aileen McDonald who led the group in various games. Miss Helen Farley acted as fac-ulty guest. Faculty Members Will Attend Nebraska Confab The conference for teachers of Lutheran church colleges is to be held this year at Midland college. Fremont, Neb., Nov. 25 and 26.

D., pastor of the First Lutheran church of Sioux Falls, was recently appointed editor of "The Lutheran Teacher" by the board of elementary Chris-tian education of the Norwegian Lu-theran Church of America. "The Lutheran Teacher," pu' lisped weekly in the interests of elementary Christian education, i issued directly from the educational office in Minneapolis, under the direction of Dr. J. C. K. Preus. Through the editorial department Rev. Glenn sets forth what the Christian gospel is from the Lu theran point of view and endeavors to challenge the Sunday school teacher with a vision of the magni-tude of his or her task. Bachelors Mistaken, Girls Do Have Dates By Joyce Steinbach Who said we don't have dates?! And why do you fellows insist on taking it for granted that we don't have dates? Maybe you confirmed bachelors haven't been around about door-locking, or ah, doorbell-ringing time to see just how many dorm girls do approach the front door with a satisfied (I hope) escort at her side. But in case you still think the girls are missing the unquestion-able honor of masculine company, it's all because of you men and your lack of originality in finding something new and different to do. Girls, too, know what it's like to be broke—that excuse is old—. It doesn't cost a cent to buzz a girl and have a chat, to get a little needed exercise walking around blocks, to go to a foot-ball game, to chapel or special programs. Think how beneficial you could be in promoting our cultural education! Mr. Shackle-less thinks, "Who's this guy, Egon Petri? Hmmm, coming next Wed-nesday— student activity tickets are good—I wonder, would she?" Would she ever! And both will have enjoyed the concert about six different ways. Smedley Butler Comments On Aids for Eliminating War "There are only two forces that can eliminate the curse of war—re-ligion and education." Thus Smed-ley D. Butler, retired United States Marine Corp general and lecturer, expressed himself as a taxi carried us swiftly toward the Northwestern depot at the conclusion of his en-thusiastically received speech at the Knife and Fork Dinner club. "Both the church and the school let us down during the World war," he said. "They succumbed to the insidious attack of propaganda just as much as the people themselves." An earnest Christian himself, the General declared, "if the church ever consents to another war, I'm going to become a pagan, you can't tell me that Christ, if he were to come down on earth, would shoul-der a gun and march off to war!" "The college," he continued, "is the vital unit in education for dem-ocracy and peace. Democracy is the only form of government that, once established, cannot run itself. Peo-ple must be constantly and care fully educated for democracy." College Symphony Orchestra Makes Radio Debut Sunday The college orchestra, under the direction of R. J. Guderyahn, will broadcast a thirty minute program over the local station Sunday eve-ning, Nov. 13. The program will consist of the following four num-bers: "Scherzade," Part I by Rimsky- Korsakoff ; "Musical Snuff Box" by Liadow; "Blue Danube" by Strauss; "Coronation March" from "The Pro-phet" by Meyerbeer. Program Chosen By Lee Is One of Twelve In Repertoire Drama, Lecturets Next Chinese Monologuist, Speaker To Follow Musician Egon Petri, famous Dutch pian-ist, will be the first on this year's Augustana college artist series. Ht will appear in a program of di versified piano music at the colleg, auditorium tomorrow evening, No vember 9. The program for the concert to be given here at Augustana has been chosen by Prof. J. Earl Lee from a group of twelve. Also Teacher Besides being a pianist of remark-able accomplishments, Petri is also a teacher of excellence, primarily interested in the art of music with the factor of compensation being a minor one. He has concertized ex-tensively throughout Europe and ap-peared as soloist with all the lead-ing symphony orchestras and string quartets of European capitals. Called the "greatest living expon-ent of Liszt," he has recently been honored by Oxford university with the degree of Doctor of Music. Egon Petri comes from an old family of musicians— his grand-father being an excellent organist, his grandfather an accomplished oboist, and his father a prominent violinist, leader of a string quartet, and concert master at Gewandhous, Leipzig, and at the Royal Chapel in Dresden. Two More Planned Two other artist series programs have been definitely planned. On January 20, Soo Yong, Chi-nese actress and dramatic monologu-ist, will appear on the second pr._ gram of the series. Dr. James Davis, former profes-sor of English at Leipzig univer-sity and professor of German at the University of Minnesota, will bt presented in a lecture on the thin, artist series program. Programs of interest to all tht arts, including music, drama, and literature will be presented on the artist series this year. Attendance at the first three programs will de-termine whether there be other programs in the spring. Student President Guest At Wesleyan The Blue and White Homecoming committee of Dakota Wesleyan ex-tended a cordial invitation to the queens and student prexies of Au-gustana college, Sioux Falls col-lege, and Yankton to attend thei. homecoming.
