THE AUGUSTANA MIRROR CONVENU N DEC 2 3 Vol. VIII. SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA, DECEMBER 2, 1927 No. 11 PRESS CONVENTION DEC. 2-3 LITTLE SYMPHONY GIVES THEIR INITIAL CONCERT OF YEAR PHILIP I'ITTS, CONCERT MASTER, IS SOLOIST A. C. Orchestra Thrills Large Au-dience with Music; Next Concert is May 4 The state of South Dakota boasts few finer musical organizations than the Augustana Symphony Orchestra. That the people of Sioux Falls rec-ognize this fact was evidenced by the large attendance at the initial concert given Tuesday evening, No-vember 28, in the college gymnas-ium. Richard Guderyahn, teacner of violin in the Department of Music at Augustana, is director of the orchestra. Though Mr. Guderyahn has been at Augustana only since the beginning of the present school year, he has in this short time accomplished a great deal. None but the most enthusiastic comments have been made concerning the won-derful concert Tuesday evening. The program included a pleasing variety of selections. Each number contrib-uted to a remarkable unity of per-formance and a perfection of musical understanding which bear witness not only of the unusual ability of Mr. Guderyahn, but also of the con-scientious efforts of the young peo-ple who are members of the or-chestra. The first number on the concert program was a selection from the well-known opera "Carmen," by Bizet. This colorful number, with its alternating snatches of bril-liancy and sweetness of melody, could not fail to please even the most critical listener. The mag-nificent "Coronation March" from The Prophet," by Meyerbeer, was the second number. All the pomp and dignity of a royal procession were embodied in the orchestra's wonderful interpretation of this (Continued on page 4) MR. LOKKEN CONDUCTS EVANGELICAL MEETINGS Mr. K. 0. Lokken, of Sioux Falls, evangelist of the Norwegian Luth-eran Church of America, began his series of evangelical meetings at Augustana Tuesday, November 29, during chapel period. These meet-ings are held every day throughout the entire week both during chapel periods and every evening at 6:45 o'clock. As his text for the meetings during chapel Tuesday, November 29 Mr. Lokken chose Mark 10:17- 32. During his first talk he put this question to every individual present, "Do You Pray?" The im-portance and the power of prayer was emphasized. He stated that we must pray with faith in our hearts. The text mentioned above will be discussed throughout the week. At the meeting Tuesday evening, Mr. Lokken based his discussion on Luke 11:1-13. Mr. Lokken stat-ed that prayer is one of the great-est privileges that we have and we should say to the Lord as the disciples, "Teach me to pray." He further brought out that the best of all gifts that we can receive is the Holy Spirit. It can teach us to pray. The statement was made that the prayer that the Spirit of God works in our heart will always be answered, but it is rather hard to distinguish whether it is just our own selfish will or not. Mr. Lokken closed this discussion by saying that all should pray for these meetings and for some in-dividual whom we thought to be away from God. He cited specific instances in which people had been brought to realization of their sins and had come to God as a result of fervent prayers to Him. POSITIONS OF STAFFS FILLED BY ELECTIONS Resigning from his position as assistant advertising manager of the Mirror, Earl Rogness, Astoria, was recently elected advertising manager for the "Edda", Augus-tana college yearbook to be pub-lished in the spring of 1928. Rich-ard Hanson, Freeman, was elected to fill the vacancy of assistant ad-vertising manager of the Mirror. Mr. Rogness and Mr. Hanson are both members of the A Capella Choir and are sophomores in col-lege. Mr. Rogness is also a member of the Symphony Orchestra. JAROSLAV GONS First of Artist Recitals Is Dec. 13 Jaroslav Gons, violincellist, will appear in the first artist recital of the year in the college gymnasium, December 13. Mr. Gons is a native of Bohemia and is undoubtedly one of the greatest cellists in the world. Mr. Gons' musical career began early. While yet very young he became solo 'cellist of the famous Symphony Orchestra of Vienna. His fame spread rapidly and he made successful concert tours throughout all of Europe. While in Russia he appeared with such artists as D. Smirnoff, the Russian Tenor, and Bortkiewiez, the celebrated Russian pianist-composer. He was in Russia when the World War began. He was spared the risk of personal danger by his renown as a musical genius. The Russian musical au-thorities secured for him his liberty and gave him the title of Professor of Imperial Russian conservatories. In 1920, Mr. Gons came to Amer-ica. His appearances in this coun-try have been most successful. Lead-ing music critics have made the fol-lowing comments on these concerts: "The Artist played with a won-derful breadth of tone, faultless technique, plus impeccable artistry, (Continued on last page) DEMOSTHENIANS WIN IN FORENSIC CONTEST In the initial intersociety con-test of the season, the Demosthen-ian Literary Society orators tri-umphed over their opponents, the Websterians, to defeat them by a percentage of 2 points. The Demos-thenians scored a percentage of 80 and the Websterians 78. This was the first in a series of five con-tests which will decide which so-ciety is to gain possession of the silver loving cup. The man who represented the Demosthenians was Arthur Lar-son, city, who spoke on "The In-difference of a Nation." Alvin Lew-is, Arlington, also a Demosthenian, spoke on the subject, "Atheism." Ernest Fossum, Pierpont, speak-ing on the topic, "World Leader-ship" and Iver Eide, Baltic, speak-ing on "Duties of Citizenship," rep-resented the Websterians. The judges for the contest were Professors Peterson, Cole, and Ble-gen. MIRROR HAS CIRCULATION IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Following is an article which ap-peared in the Sioux Falls Argus Leader concerning the circulation of the Mirror: If the Augustana college a ca-pella choir realizes its European tour in 1929 it will not be a strang-er to one country on its itinerary, at least. The college is well known in Norway, where the bulk of its concerts would be given. The college has been advertised the past two years by the Augus-tana Mirror, bi-weekly newspaper published at the college. This has been sent to noted persons and to many schools through the personal acquaintanceships there of Miss Borghild M. Dahl, journalism in-structor, who has studied abroad. The Mirror circulation list in-cludes the king of Norway, the minister of education, the president of the largest university, and the president of the national teachers' association, Mrs. Anna Sethne, all of whom acknowledged receipt of the school paper. FORENSIC SEASON PROMISES TO BE BEST IN HISTORY AUGUSTANA HAS MANY DEBATES SCHEDULED Contest with State College to Be Broadcasted; University Is Scheduled A new feature in Augustana de-bate programs will be attempted this season when a Viking debate team will meet the State College team in a contest to be broadcasted from Brookings on March 15. An-other deviation from regular debate programs will occur on February 14 when a three-man Augustana affirmative team will debate a State College negative team before the Parent-Teachers' Asociation of Dell Rapids. Other important matches are to be arranged with Morning-side College and the University of South Dakota, according to Prof. Alvin Rogness, instructor of foren-sics. The radio debate to be held at Brookings on March 15 will be the last encounter in the state for the team which will represent Augus- ,ana in the national Pi Kappa Delta debates to be held at Tiffin, Ohio, during the first week of April. The Augustana team will have the neg-ative of the question concerning the foreign investment policy of the United States. Two other debates will be held with State. One will be the con-test before the Dell Rapids P. T. A. and another contest is to be held between women's teams from the two schools. The University of South Dakota will be one of the other more for-midable forensics foes, which Prof. Rogness is scheduling for his debate teams this year. An Augustana women's trio will argue with a women's team from the University if present plans materialize. Negotiations are under way for a dual debate with Morningside College of Sioux City, Iowa. Men and women teams will be represent-ed in these debates if they are def-initely scheduled. Several debates are also planned with colleges within the state. Yankton College and Dakota Wes-leyan University of Mitchell are the probable adversaries in these de-bates. A trip which will take the de-baters through Minnesota is also likely. LARSON WINS FIRST IN HOME ORATORICAL Speaking on the subject, "The Indifference of a Nation," in the annual Home Oratorical contest held in the Chapel of Old Main on Monday evening, November 21, Ar-thur Larson, city, a Freshman in the College Department, won the first prize of $15.00 and the priv-ilege of representing the school in the district oratorical contest to be held at Yankton on February 17.
