Sioux Falls, S.D. Volume 85, Issue 18 Friday, April 25, 1997 The Augustana The Spanish Tragedy: Cut-throat drama with sunglasses The Augustana College Theatre presents "The Spanish Tragedy" a play by Thomas Kyd, May 2-3 and 8-10. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. in the Old Gym, which is located behind the Morrison Commons. All performances are free for Augustana students, $6 for adults, and $4.50 for students and seniors. `The Spanish Tragedy" is a Bare Bodkins production of the most popular revenge tragedy in Elizabethan England. It is filled with love, intrigue and murder. 'The Spanish Tragedy" is directed by Ivan Fuller. Call 336-4613 for reservations or more information. Dvorak elected S. D. Education Association Student Program president Four students win prestigious business scholarships BY MEGAN MERICLEY MIRROR STAFF WRITER Four Augustana Business majors seized finalist positions for the annually awarded Sales and Marketing Executives business scholarships. Amy Steele, James Abens, Heidi Hofmeyer, and Sarah Fosheim were chosen as the four finalists for the SME busi-ness scholarships. The four Augustana finalists compete against each other to determine the individual amounts awarded to each stu-dent. The capture of four finalist positions by one school is a unique achievement. "No school has ever taken all of the finalist positions. This was simply that Augustana sent over the best students and they [the scholarship com-mittee] were forced to pick us," Dr. Paul Krueger, professor of Business at Augustana, said. The scholarship was offered to any sophomore or junior student anticipating a career in the business or marketing field and attending Augus-tana, University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University, University of Sioux Falls, Dakota State University, and Dakota Weslyan. The finalists for the scholarship were chosen based on a writ-ten essay, resume, and GPA. The four awarded scholarships range from $1,000 to $2,000 and are used toward tuition expenses for the following year. The finalist competition entails presenting an individ-ual production service market plan to the committee of schol-arship members. Each finalist has 20 minutes to present his/her project to the commit-tee. "The main goal is to have the members sign my contract that I have," Hofmeyer said. An Awards Banquet, on April 22, was held at Westward Ho Country Club to recognize the finalists and to announce the individual scholarships for each student. Like the recognition of the finalists, the support from the Sales and Marketing Execu-tives organization was also recognized from the finalists themselves. "It's a big honor to have this award from such a prestigious group," Hofmeyer said.

"Isn't it early for Christmas in April?" passerby's wonder. This air of intrigue leaves one question lingering in the minds and meandering into the conversa-tions of many students and faculty alike, "What is the Carol Project?" BY ADRIENNE HOVERSTADT MIRROR STAFF WRITER The South Dakota Education Association Student Program recently elected Augustana junior Laura Dvorak to serve as president for the 97-98 school year. The SDEA-SP includes over 600 members from all of the colleges in South Dakota. It serves as an association that prepares students for things they will encounter as teachers that are not taught in the classroom such as interviewing skills or things to know when signing contracts. As president, Dvorak, an Enalish major who is also working towards her teaching certificate, will be in charge of planning two conferences dur-ing the next school year. She The answer lies in the vision of Julia Pachoud, Augustana professor of Communications and Theater, and Jeff Wirth, one of the country's leading experts in interactive theater. The two visionaries have creat-ed the groundwork for a semester long service project connecting the Augustana community and the Sioux Falls community in a partnership that would both encourage the spirit of giving and expose the community to a new realm of interactive theater. will also be touring the other colleges involved and attending the NEA leadership conven-tions in Atlanta, Ga.. and Ana-heim, Calif. along with several other conventions, one of which is in San Antonio, Texas. Dvorak said she has two main goals which she hopes to accomplish over the next year. They are to increase state-wide membership to at least 750 members, and to increase the number of attendants at con-ferences. Dvorak said that she really wants to see the number of members from Augustana increase. Dvorak, is also the president of the Augustana College Edu-cation Association, serves on the SDEA-SP board of direc-tors, and serves on the SDEA human relations committee. She was chosen as the out- According to Pachoud, the Carol project is a collaborative effort between the Augustana Theater and the Sioux Falls Community Playhouse, the objective of which is to involve the whole community in a the-atrical experience that extends beyond the walls of the play-house. 'The umbrella project will embody the Christmas Carol's spirit of transforma-tion, generosity, and love," Pachoud said. This project was inspired dramatically by the move in standing state leader for her efforts during the 96-97 school year. Dvorak said, "It's an honor and a privilege to be able to serve my fellow future teach-ers. I'm looking forward to a busy but productive year." Dvorak encourages every person interested in teaching to join the ACEA and the SDEA. Benefits include attending conferences, partici-pating in helpful workshops, receiving magazines on educa-tion, and being insured up to $1 million for liability. The membership fee is $30.

This is a form which allows the audi-ence to play a part in the story whether by performing the roles of specific characters, by taking part in the events, or by just being part of the audience.
