Foot hall Game to Climax v ( ; Pa rade to Ile Staged in Afternoon (Bernice Hokenstad) A straight, white haired man of about sixty sat before the huge crimson col-ored curtain of the coliseum last eve-ning, shrugging his shoulders as he spoke, arni swaying from side to side as he accompanied himself on his V-shaped guitar. Carl Sandburg began his unique lec-ture, part singing and part recitation, by telling of his experiences in life that allowed him to portray the broad circumstances which he did. He cap-tivated his audience when reading his polyrythmic poems, heightening the ef-fect by drawing out words slowly and emphatically. His voice was character-ized by a rich deep monotone. Speak-ing in a simple style, he thrust streams cf occasional satire in his theme. When conversing of poetry, he of-fered several of his some thirty-eight definitions ranging from "Poetry is a pack-sack of invisible keep-sakes" to "Poetry is an echo asking a shadow dancer to be a partner." He oft quoted from such characters as Robert Browning and Oliver Wcn-dell Homes. A presentation of "Moon-light and Magots," the first publica-tion of which will be made in Fortune Magazine soon, held his audience tense. Mr. Sandburg closed his hour and a half evening program by singing a group of North Carolinan negro spirit-uals. He was brought to Sioux Falls under the auspices of Augustana col-lege through the local committee on lectures and entertainments, of which Dr. Albert Hoyem is chairman.

In this way the readers of The Mir-ror will keep in touch with the im-portant events that happen on every campus in the United States. Collegiate Digest will give every stu-dent the opportunity of following edu-cational, scientific, and student activi-ties that happen throughout the United States, and will thereby give all stu-dents an opportunity to compare their activities with those of students in other institutions. Science Club Chooses Officers at Meeting At its initial meeting of the year held Wednesday evening, October 4, the Science club elected officers and outlined the program for the coming term. Osmund Fundingsland will act in the capacity of president; Charles Sidlo, vice president; and Harriet Ellef-son, secretary-treasurer, with Dr. Al-bert G. Hoyem and Dr. John A.

Re-ports will be given on reading and ex-perimental research, and outside lectur-ers will address the club as well as give illustrated lectures. The club is open to only those students especially interested in science and mathematics, and receiving majors or minors in that field. A program committee composed of a representative from each science divis-ion was chosen with Gorman Nelson representing the department of physics and mathematics and Ingval Hatlen, the chemistry department. The vice president will act as chairman of the program committee. • The Science club will meet bi-weekly on Wednesday evenings at 7:45 in the science lecture room. Twenty Orators Try Out For Forensic Squad Encouraged by a first turnout of twenty would-be orators, Coach Hugo A. Carlson reports that Augustana will have a good chance to maintain her past high record in state and national oratorical meets. Last year Augus-tana's forensic squad won the pro-vincial tournament at Jamestown. Prof. Carlson is now preparing the ground for active work by delivering a series of orientation lectures. Tryouts for entrances in the state contest will follow, and after this meet practice will begin for the national Pi Kappa Delta tournament to be held in Lex-ington, Kentucky. The Philomathian literary society gave a tea on Saturday afternoon, Sep-tember 30, from 2:30 CO 5:30 at "The Coffee House," with new students, alum-nae and faculty members as guests. Nora Lewison, president of the or-ganization, poured tea during the af-ternoon, and other members of the society acted as hostesses for the af-fair. The committee in charge of ar-rangements was Loretta Howe, Helen Aaby and Dorothy Fries. The purpose of the tea was to help the new students become acquainted with present and former members of the society. This is an annual affair given by the Philomathians during the three weeks of open literary society meetings. The annual homecoming banquet of the Augustana alumni will be held in the parlors of the First Lutheran church on Viking day, Saturday, October 14, at 5:30 o'clock. Ethel Eliker, Sioux Falls, is chairman of the general com-mittee in charge of arrangements. Helmer Myklebust, president of the alumni association, will act as toast-master for the occasion. Announcement of the complete program will be made soon, according to Miss Eliker. Other members of the general com-mittee are Mrs. Ralph Hillgren, Mar-cia Holland, Myron Donisitz, and Prof. Palmer Eide, all of Sioux Falls. In-vitations have been sent to approxi-mately two thousand alumni who are scattered throughout almost all the states and in several foreign countries. Plans for the high school Model League of Nations assembly, which will be held in the First Lutheran church parlors. November 27, are nearing completion, according to Prof. 0. Ton-ning who, with Principal J. Morris Wieting of Lennox high school, is sponsoring the league. The model assembly is held in con-nection with the South Dakota Educa-tional association convention for the purpose of giving the teachers a clearer understanding of the purposes and scope of the league. Ten high schools have signified their willingness to take part in this demonstration and others are tentative. The high schools will represent var-ious countries and will go through the regular forms of procedure of the League of Nations, according to Prof. Tonning. Opening of Pheasant Season Causes Students, Faculty 'To Take To Arms' Weiseth, Distad Will Publish Directory Of Auggie Students too, is sure to take part, but he'll have to use quieter means than his motor-cycle in sneaking up on the birds, or he'll never get his bag limit by sunset. Over at the Boys' dorm, "Happy" Brandt has been advertising . the pheas-ant season—so he didn't buy that duck decoy to play with after all. And the supreme modeler of sports clothes, Dave Larson, can now test the durabil-ity of his new hunting outfit. But the most satisfying part of the hunting is the eating of the birds. Harold Hanson, culminating his good deeds of the day, brought a couple of beautifully plummaged pheasants to Ragna Ottersen. After trying to skin and clean them for a couple of hours, Miss Ottersen ate dinner at the Coffee House. Enterprising student-hunters will now realize that they will have to carry their good deeds a little further, and dress the birds for most of their friends. Some of these days the stu-dents down at the Boarding Club are going to have a real roast pheasant treat. The instigators of such a stu-pendous undertaking are no other trap-shooters than Earlan Erickson and Kermit Johnson. To show their ap-preciation of this great effort, the stu-dents will give them a royal send-off some crisp October morning. Everyone seems to be so excited and enthusiastic over the pheasant season this year, and so, to the hunters, let's hope they have lots of fun and good luck. Classes in Advanced Art to Redecorate Walls of Workroom The 1933-34 Augustana student di-rectory will make its appearance on the campus next week, Warren Weiseth and Victor Distad, publishers, announced. The book will be similar to the one printed last year. It will contain the names and addresses of the entire fac ulty and student body. The college board of directors, and the officers of every organization in school will also be included in the handy booklet. The price, according to present plans, will be ten cents. The first college directory was pub-lished in 1928 by G. Herman Gilbert-son, editor. Dale J. Simons edited the 1929 book, and none made its appearance in 1930. Nils Berdahl and Olaf Odney collaborated in 1931 to resume the series. Last year, Erling Helleckson and Sigfried Mickelson edit. ed the book. Plans for a new and more complete book are being formulated by this year's staff, who forecast an unique publica-tion with a cover design different from any previously issued. This year will also mark the earliest publication date since the 1928 origin. A sufficient number is promised to allow each stu-dent on the campus one copy.

(Dorothy Anderson) Hunting, one of the most famous of American sports, will again swing into action with the opening of the pheasant season this week. Thousands of the popular American birds are hiding in the cornfelds, challenging the quick eye and steady marksmanship of South Dakota hunters. Dean Cole is looking forward to the season with a great deal of optimism. For over a week he has been getting his guns in good condition, and prac-ticing his long shot on targets in his back yard. A great sports enthusiast, Cole anticipates the hunting season with a great deal of enjoyment. Many have stated that there are more pheasants this year than ever before in twenty-year pheasant-hunting history. Tony Moe is one who intends to dis-cover the truth in this statement. How-ever, with all the thistles, pigeon grass and heavy weeds out at Green Acres, one is tempted to think the advantage is with the pheasants. The pheasants, however, will probably find their match in Dr. Hoyem, who is eagerly determin-ed to be the first one to boast of a bag limit. "Lefty" Olson, in addition of figur-ing out strategy-plays for his Vikings, is also planning some tricks on the eluding birds. His football captains, Roy Pettinger and George Nielson, both good huntsmen, are all pepped up and let's hope their enthusiasm lasts over the approaching season. John Overby, COLLEGIATE DIGEST Prof. Palmer Eide has begun work on a novel scheme of mural decora-tion for rooms of the art department, located in the basement of the Old Main building. Historical scenes de-picting the advance of civilizations from early Egyptian and Oriental times, are being painted on the walls. Prof. Eide has personally finished decorating part of the wall space in the west room, but plans to have students in advanced art complete the work in other rooms. Regular class work in the art depart-ment includes matching of color values in charts for the class in design, study of patterns in significant form for the composition class, and preparatory post-er designing for the class taking the layout course. Students in the newly introduced studio painting course have been work-ing with water colors on still life set-ups, according to Prof. Eide. is included in the regular subscription price of The Mirror $1 per year.

Stefferud Presents Interesting Lecture In Old Main Chapel (By George Evenson) A modern land with some of the outstanding natural beauty of the world —such was Norway described in the illustrated lecture given by Mr. Jacob Stefferud of the Norwegian-American Steamship line, in the Old Main Chap-el Wednesday evening, October 4. After his lecture, it was the pleasure of this Mirror reporter to converse with him. Mr. Stefferud's enthusiasm for Nor-way was expressed in both the lecture and the conversation. His birthplace was Oslo, where he lived for twenty-three years. During these years he gained that intimate experience with the beauties of Norway which made his lecture so vivid. As he showed the pictures of the fjords and of the mid-night sun, we felt the thrill of almost actual reality. He took great pride in pointing out some of the significant achievements of Norway in art, music, and on the sea. Even the colored pictures used in the lecture had to be made there. He expressed the opinion that the dialects were merging into one language. For the past thirteen years Mr. Stef-ferud has been agent at Minneapolis for the Norwegian-American Steamship line, through whose courtesy he de-livered this lecture. He often made humorous remarks, which enlivened his lecture considerably for the 150 stu-dents present. He said afterwards that he found it much easier to speak in-formally to college students. As a parting gift, he left two books for the Augustana library. One is a book of pictures of Norway; the oth-er, a collection of modern Norse verse. Iverson To Reign Over Viking Day Ceremony Lajla Iverson was selected "Miss Augustana of 1933" at the stu-dent election held Monday, October 1. This election , followed a three-clay campaign during which open forum discussion was conducted in student chapel exercises. Miss Iverson is a member of the sen-ior class at Augustana, where she has been an honor student for three years. She has taken a responsible part in campus activities during her college career, being at present secretary of the student association, and president of the symphony orchestra and Ladies' Hall group. She is well known in Sioux Falls and surrounding community through her participation in college musical organ-izations. She has been a member of the symphony orchestra for four years, and has been concertmistress of that organization for three years. She was a member of the a capella choir for two years, the Guderyahn string trio for two years, and the college string quartet for three years. She is also a member of the Adelphic literary society. As a representative of her college, Miss Iverson will be crowned Viking day queen and will preside over the tenth annual homecoming fete to be held October 14. Special coronation exercises will be held in her honor in the college gym-nasium, Friday evening. Attendants chosen by Miss Iverson are Florabel Miller, Beatrice Johnson, Lillian Lar-son, Ethelyn Knudtson, Gladys Over-seth, and Mildred Iverson. They will also have a part in the ceremony, and will appear with the queen in her float for the Saturday afternoon parade. Carlson Attends Meet Of Forensic Directors Prof. Hugo A. Carlson attended a meeting of all debate coaches at Dakota Wesleyan, Mitchell, September 30, for the purpose of formulating plans for the coming year. The State debate tournament will be held February 24, at Northern normal, Aberdeen. At this time several contests will be entered by representatives of the college. The interstate and peace di-visions are open to both men and women. Separate divisions will include men's extemporaneous speaking, wom-en's oratory, and women's extempor aneous. The debate question for this year, to be announced by the Pi Kappa Delta, has not yet been decided upon.

Twenty Orators Try Out For Forensic Squad Encouraged by a first turnout of twenty would-be orators, Coach Hugo A. Carlson reports that Augustana will have a good chance to maintain her past high record in state and national oratorical meets. Last year Augus-tana's forensic squad won the pro-vincial tournament at Jamestown. Prof. Carlson is now preparing the ground for active work by delivering a series of orientation lectures. Tryouts for entrances in the state contest will follow, and after this meet practice will begin for the national Pi Kappa Delta tournament to be held in Lex-ington, Kentucky. The Philomathian literary society gave a tea on Saturday afternoon, Sep-tember 30, from 2:30 CO 5:30 at "The Coffee House," with new students, alum-nae and faculty members as guests. Nora Lewison, president of the or-ganization, poured tea during the af-ternoon, and other members of the society acted as hostesses for the af-fair. The committee in charge of ar-rangements was Loretta Howe, Helen Aaby and Dorothy Fries. The purpose of the tea was to help the new students become acquainted with present and former members of the society. This is an annual affair given by the Philomathians during the three weeks of open literary society meetings. The annual homecoming banquet of the Augustana alumni will be held in the parlors of the First Lutheran church on Viking day, Saturday, October 14, at 5:30 o'clock. Ethel Eliker, Sioux Falls, is chairman of the general com-mittee in charge of arrangements. Helmer Myklebust, president of the alumni association, will act as toast-master for the occasion. Announcement of the complete program will be made soon, according to Miss Eliker. Other members of the general com-mittee are Mrs. Ralph Hillgren, Mar-cia Holland, Myron Donisitz, and Prof. Palmer Eide, all of Sioux Falls. In-vitations have been sent to approxi-mately two thousand alumni who are scattered throughout almost all the states and in several foreign countries. Plans for the high school Model League of Nations assembly, which will be held in the First Lutheran church parlors. November 27, are nearing completion, according to Prof. 0. Ton-ning who, with Principal J. Morris Wieting of Lennox high school, is sponsoring the league. The model assembly is held in con-nection with the South Dakota Educa-tional association convention for the purpose of giving the teachers a clearer understanding of the purposes and scope of the league. Ten high schools have signified their willingness to take part in this demonstration and others are tentative. The high schools will represent var-ious countries and will go through the regular forms of procedure of the League of Nations, according to Prof. Tonning. Opening of Pheasant Season Causes Students, Faculty 'To Take To Arms' Weiseth, Distad Will Publish Directory Of Auggie Students too, is sure to take part, but he'll have to use quieter means than his motor-cycle in sneaking up on the birds, or he'll never get his bag limit by sunset. Over at the Boys' dorm, "Happy" Brandt has been advertising . the pheas-ant season—so he didn't buy that duck decoy to play with after all. And the supreme modeler of sports clothes, Dave Larson, can now test the durabil-ity of his new hunting outfit. But the most satisfying part of the hunting is the eating of the birds. Harold Hanson, culminating his good deeds of the day, brought a couple of beautifully plummaged pheasants to Ragna Ottersen. After trying to skin and clean them for a couple of hours, Miss Ottersen ate dinner at the Coffee House. Enterprising student-hunters will now realize that they will have to carry their good deeds a little further, and dress the birds for most of their friends. Some of these days the stu-dents down at the Boarding Club are going to have a real roast pheasant treat. The instigators of such a stu-pendous undertaking are no other trap-shooters than Earlan Erickson and Kermit Johnson. To show their ap-preciation of this great effort, the stu-dents will give them a royal send-off some crisp October morning. Everyone seems to be so excited and enthusiastic over the pheasant season this year, and so, to the hunters, let's hope they have lots of fun and good luck. Classes in Advanced Art to Redecorate Walls of Workroom The 1933-34 Augustana student di-rectory will make its appearance on the campus next week, Warren Weiseth and Victor Distad, publishers, announced. The book will be similar to the one printed last year. It will contain the names and addresses of the entire fac ulty and student body. The college board of directors, and the officers of every organization in school will also be included in the handy booklet. The price, according to present plans, will be ten cents. The first college directory was pub-lished in 1928 by G. Herman Gilbert-son, editor. Dale J. Simons edited the 1929 book, and none made its appearance in 1930. Nils Berdahl and Olaf Odney collaborated in 1931 to resume the series. Last year, Erling Helleckson and Sigfried Mickelson edit. ed the book. Plans for a new and more complete book are being formulated by this year's staff, who forecast an unique publica-tion with a cover design different from any previously issued. This year will also mark the earliest publication date since the 1928 origin. A sufficient number is promised to allow each stu-dent on the campus one copy.

(Dorothy Anderson) Hunting, one of the most famous of American sports, will again swing into action with the opening of the pheasant season this week. Thousands of the popular American birds are hiding in the cornfelds, challenging the quick eye and steady marksmanship of South Dakota hunters. Dean Cole is looking forward to the season with a great deal of optimism. For over a week he has been getting his guns in good condition, and prac-ticing his long shot on targets in his back yard. A great sports enthusiast, Cole anticipates the hunting season with a great deal of enjoyment. Many have stated that there are more pheasants this year than ever before in twenty-year pheasant-hunting history. Tony Moe is one who intends to dis-cover the truth in this statement. How-ever, with all the thistles, pigeon grass and heavy weeds out at Green Acres, one is tempted to think the advantage is with the pheasants. The pheasants, however, will probably find their match in Dr. Hoyem, who is eagerly determin-ed to be the first one to boast of a bag limit. "Lefty" Olson, in addition of figur-ing out strategy-plays for his Vikings, is also planning some tricks on the eluding birds. His football captains, Roy Pettinger and George Nielson, both good huntsmen, are all pepped up and let's hope their enthusiasm lasts over the approaching season. John Overby, COLLEGIATE DIGEST Prof. Palmer Eide has begun work on a novel scheme of mural decora-tion for rooms of the art department, located in the basement of the Old Main building. Historical scenes de-picting the advance of civilizations from early Egyptian and Oriental times, are being painted on the walls. Prof. Eide has personally finished decorating part of the wall space in the west room, but plans to have students in advanced art complete the work in other rooms. Regular class work in the art depart-ment includes matching of color values in charts for the class in design, study of patterns in significant form for the composition class, and preparatory post-er designing for the class taking the layout course. Students in the newly introduced studio painting course have been work-ing with water colors on still life set-ups, according to Prof. Eide. is included in the regular subscription price of The Mirror $1 per year.

Stefferud Presents Interesting Lecture In Old Main Chapel (By George Evenson) A modern land with some of the outstanding natural beauty of the world —such was Norway described in the illustrated lecture given by Mr. Jacob Stefferud of the Norwegian-American Steamship line, in the Old Main Chap-el Wednesday evening, October 4. After his lecture, it was the pleasure of this Mirror reporter to converse with him. Mr. Stefferud's enthusiasm for Nor-way was expressed in both the lecture and the conversation. His birthplace was Oslo, where he lived for twenty-three years. During these years he gained that intimate experience with the beauties of Norway which made his lecture so vivid. As he showed the pictures of the fjords and of the mid-night sun, we felt the thrill of almost actual reality. He took great pride in pointing out some of the significant achievements of Norway in art, music, and on the sea. Even the colored pictures used in the lecture had to be made there. He expressed the opinion that the dialects were merging into one language. For the past thirteen years Mr. Stef-ferud has been agent at Minneapolis for the Norwegian-American Steamship line, through whose courtesy he de-livered this lecture. He often made humorous remarks, which enlivened his lecture considerably for the 150 stu-dents present. He said afterwards that he found it much easier to speak in-formally to college students. As a parting gift, he left two books for the Augustana library. One is a book of pictures of Norway; the oth-er, a collection of modern Norse verse. Iverson To Reign Over Viking Day Ceremony Lajla Iverson was selected "Miss Augustana of 1933" at the stu-dent election held Monday, October 1.

She has taken a responsible part in campus activities during her college career, being at present secretary of the student association, and president of the symphony orchestra and Ladies' Hall group. She is well known in Sioux Falls and surrounding community through her participation in college musical organ-izations. She has been a member of the symphony orchestra for four years, and has been concertmistress of that organization for three years. She was a member of the a capella choir for two years, the Guderyahn string trio for two years, and the college string quartet for three years. She is also a member of the Adelphic literary society. As a representative of her college, Miss Iverson will be crowned Viking day queen and will preside over the tenth annual homecoming fete to be held October 14. Special coronation exercises will be held in her honor in the college gym-nasium, Friday evening. Attendants chosen by Miss Iverson are Florabel Miller, Beatrice Johnson, Lillian Lar-son, Ethelyn Knudtson, Gladys Over-seth, and Mildred Iverson. They will also have a part in the ceremony, and will appear with the queen in her float for the Saturday afternoon parade. Carlson Attends Meet Of Forensic Directors Prof. Hugo A. Carlson attended a meeting of all debate coaches at Dakota Wesleyan, Mitchell, September 30, for the purpose of formulating plans for the coming year. The State debate tournament will be held February 24, at Northern normal, Aberdeen. At this time several contests will be entered by representatives of the college. The interstate and peace di-visions are open to both men and women. Separate divisions will include men's extemporaneous speaking, wom-en's oratory, and women's extempor aneous.
