Actors in "As You Like It" run through their parts to be ready for curtain time Dec. 2. Augustana College Thursday, Dec. 2, 1976 Sioux Falls, South Dakota Vol. 59, No. 10 "Christmas Fantasy" to be Dec. 3 By DAVE FRYXELL Editor Co-chairpersons Mary Ulmer and Kent McCullough have seen to it that this year's Augie All Nations festival will be a bit different. In fact, it isn't exactly All Nations at all this year; it's "A Christmas Fantasy." Friday, Dec. 3, the gym will be decorated for an all-school Christmas party. The usual booths with delicious desserts will be present, but they'll have a different look this year. Instead of representing diverse nations, the booths will be designed as Christmas fantasy lands such as the Land of Oz, Camelot and Wonderland. Festivities actually open with an Italian supper in the cafeteria Friday evening during regular supper hours. Diners will go through the line as usual and may pay with mealbooks, but the cafeteria will be decked out with red-and-white-checkered tablecloths and candles. Enter-tainment will be provided by the German Round Singers and folksinger Dean Greenburg. Desserts will be served in the gym from 5-11 p.m. A con-tinuous program of music by the Brass Quintet and various caroling groups will help get people in the holiday spirit. Friday night from 9:30-1 a "Mistletoe Dance" is schedUled, featuring the group Melisma. The dance is sponsored by the UBG Social Board and is in the Commons. Tickets are $2.50 for couples and $1.50 for singles, at the Commons Desk; dress is semi-formal. The booths this year, and the desserts and beverages they'll be serving, include: North Pole — snow dessert and hot chocolate; Land of Oz — Emerald City cake and punch; Charlie Brown's Christmas — peanut brittle and coffee; Hansel and Gretel — ginger-bread men and hot cider; the House at Poo Corner — honey-glazed doughnuts and milk; Camelot — plum pudding and wassail; Alice in Wonderland — biscuits with jelly and tea; the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe — banana bread and coffee, and Babes in Toyland — popcorn balls and punch. In addition a nativity scene will be in the center of the gym and the gym entrance will be decorated as "Candyland." Entrance to the gym portion' of the festival is free with Augie I.D. The public is, as always, welcome to attend and the non- Augie entrance charge is 50t a person, $2 for families. Desserts and drinks may be purchased with mealbooks. This year the tradition making All Nations the responsibility of the freshman class has been abandoned. Dorms have been divided up, three floors per booth, and all classes are urged to get involved. Freshmen have been mixed in with upperclass floors. According to McCullogh, this will better allow freshmen and upperclassmen to get to know each other and should im-prove the quality of the festival by involving more people in it. This year's Central Com-mittee, working under the direc-tion of Ulmer and McCullogh, consists of Sandy Krugel (Art), Patti Mezoff (Publicity), Shelli Buchi and Charlene Peterson (Program and Booklet), Liz Eitrheim (Food), Arlette Fryslie and Sonja Grey (General Prop.), Kathy Rouse and Brenda Ykema (Supplies), Paul Kiburz (Construction), Donna Meier and June Gross (secretaries), and Mark Sather and Rick Skatula (Business Managers). The festival was changed from a many-nations theme to a Christmas theme for a number of reasons, according to Ulmer and McCullogh Last summer's Nordland Fest pretty well pre-empted the ethnic festival possibilities, they felt. Further, the co-chairpersons thought that the festival was growing stale and needed to break away from tradition. This year the emphasis is on fun. "If the kids are going to work on it, we want it to be fun for them," Ulmer said. Twilight Degree program inaugurated William Shakespeare's pastoral romance, As You Like It, will be the next production at the Augustana Little Theatre. Directed by Prof. Earl Mundt, As You Like It will run from Thurs-day, Dec. 2, through Monday, Dec. 6, with curtain times at 8:30 p.m. Kevin Richards plays the romantic lead, Orlando, and Becky Timmins has been cast as Rosalind, his love. Rosalind is the daughter of a deposed duke, and Orlando is the son of one of the duke's chief followers. They must brave the threats of the villain who stole the duke's title as well as work out a confusion of disguises and tangled romances in order to fulfill their love. Others in the cast include Ruth Golden, Nick Nelson, Karla Johnson, Deb Swenson and Mark Johnson. The play is an amusing romantic adventure, set in the forst of Arden in medieval France. In keeping with the A major new educational ser-vice, a "Twilight Degree Program," will be offered jointly by Augustana and Sioux Falls College beginning with the spr-ing term in February. The plan will enable adults to earn bachelor of arts and associate of arts degrees through classes held entirely in the late after-noon and evening. The new Twilight Program is intended to serve qualified adults who are unable to attend regular day classes because of work schedules or other responsibilities. Initially, major fields of study will include applied science, business administration, business education, criminal justice, social work and a general, interdepartmental degree in the liberal arts. Ad-ditional major fields will be offered upon sufficient student demand. The Twilight classes will be pastoral tradition, it involves a pair of shepherds as well as the noble main characters. Shakespeare took much of the plot of As You Like It from a popular novel of the period, Rosalynde, by Thomas Lodge. What Shakespeare added was wit, dramatic characterization, and some of his loveliest poetry. Entrance to the production is free with Augie I.D. Otherwise, the charge is $2 for adults and $1 for students. scheduled in Monday- Wednesday and Tuesday- Thursday units. Proposed class hours are 4:30 to 6:10 p.m., 6:30 to 8:10 p.m. and 8:20-10 p.m. The program will operate each school year with two 14-week semesters. Some classes may be offered on a seven-week basis. All college credit will be offered and computed on a semester hour basis. In the future, it is possible that some Twilight courses may be offered during the January Interim ses-sion and on Saturdays, officials said. Students may take courses at either Augustana or Sioux Falls College, or both, as they choose. Courses meeting graduation requirements for core curriculum and elective courses may be transferred between the colleges. Re-quirements for major areas of study and for graduation will be those normally required at each college. Twilight students can earn an A.A. degree in three years or a B.A. degree in six years. They will be required to choose one of the two colleges from which they wish to receive the degree. Casual students not seeking a degree may enroll for any course on the Twilight schedule for which they meet prerequisite requirements in either of the colleges simply by paying tui-tion charges for the course as has been true in the past. Responsiblility for all curricular offerings will be shared by Dr. William Matthews, vice president for academic af-fairs at Augustana, and Walter Nickel, assistant to the presi-dent, Sioux Falls College. The chief academic officers stress-ed the fact that all Twilight offerings are of the same quality and value as courses in the colleges' day schedules. Overall administrative responsibility for the Twilight Degree Program has been assigned to the Sioux Falls Con-tinuing Education Center under the direction of Dr. Tom Kilian. Kilian said the new program will be operated under a single ad-ministrator to insure harmony in operating policies and procedures between the two schools. He said the Twilight program had been developed over the past year by the Center's joint Faculty Advisory Committee, Mary Auterman, chairman. Kilian said the program is im-portant because it is the first time in Sioux Falls history that degrees can be earned entirely "after hours." The new plan is in harmony with the Continuing Education Center's effort to provide new educational op-tions for adults who have not previously been served. College spokesmen said the Twilight Program is designed to make economic use of teaching and classroom resources and is possible because of economies resulting from cooperative ef-forts by the colleges. Twilight students will pay es-sentially the same costs for part-time and full-time tuitions and fees as day students. Ap-propriate student services such as academic counseling, food services, bookstore and access to student activities will be made available based upon stu-dent interest. An announcement brochure describing the Twilight Degree program may be secured from the Sioux Falls Continuing Education Center, 1101 West 28th St., Sioux Falls, SD 57105 (605) 336-5555.
