Helgesen, organizer of the event, "What we are trying to do is get away from the idea that all folk music in-cludes is the Peter, Paul & Mary kind of thing That's one part, but there are a lot of other parts, all of which are important. The acts this year include the contemporary folk, but also include traditional Irish/Scot folk, bluegrass, country . . . everything." There are ten acts in this year's festival, two more than in past years. Anni Long as Saint Joan receives the verdict of the Inquisition; "perpetual im-prisonment," in the NATIONAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY'S production of George Bernard Shaw's classic drama. 1)1;1:4\ 0\,‘kts/ 05‘C, t5•011),\, • THE ACTS ON FRIDAY NIGHT ARE AS FOLLOWS: Moebeck & Hanson — Mark Moebeck and Reid Hanson are a duo which does contempory folk, in-cluding that of Michael Johnson. Steve Dawdy — Steve is a Sioux Falls artist who concentrates on blues. Jim Jorgenson — Jim, of Vermillion, is always a popular singer when he appears at Augustana as he has twice this year. Jim sings contemporary folk music, including many John Denver numbers. He won second place in last year's festival. One for the Road — Dale Pommer and Ingrid Arlton make up this country act appearing in the folk festival for the second time. The Rocky Mt. Oysters — This 5-man act plays bluegrass.

Second Wind — A folk group from the Twin Cities, Second Wind is composed of former members of Absolutely Nothing and You, Caryl, and Me, two acts that were very popular at Augustana a few years ago. • Tickets, which may be mented, "This really purchased at the Com- sounds obvious, but the mons Desk, cost $1.00 and whole thing is just so may be used both nights. everyone has a good time, As to the purpose of the and I really think they festival, Helgesen corn- will. The National Shake-speare Company will pre-sent George Bernard Shaw's classic, "Saint Joan," at Augustana on April 5, at 8:30 p.m. This drama of religious faith amidst political cor-ruption is probably the greatest of Shaw's works, and combines dramatic conflict with highly successful comic elements. It is a treatise on the conflicts of power and the problems of one caught in those conflicts. Joan - is represented as a creature crushed by two mighty forces represented by the Church and the law, yet Shaw is not content with the simplicity of that interpretation. He cannot accept the religious view of Joan as a young peasant girl miraculously directed by divine voices, and his por-trait of Joan is one of an in-dividual who appears at rate intervals among humanity, and who emphasizes the endless potential of man. Each season, Philip Meister, the Artistic Director and Company co-founder, holds nationwide interviews and auditions hundreds of experienced actors before selecting his players. Meister is a theatre veteran of 25 years. Before he became an independent producer, he worked as an assistant to Serge Koussevitsky at Tanglewood, and was a directing fellow at the American Shakespeare Academy. He has had directing ex-perience both on and off- Broadway, and says that the primary purpose of his Company is two-fold: to bring the beauty and truth of Shakespeare to young people who otherwise would never see these plays done professionally, and to give American ac-tors an opportunity to per-form the classics. The National Shake-speare Company was founded in 1963, and is a New York State nonprofit organization. The Com-pany was performed for audiences of 250,000 each season in colleges, univer-sities, and an occasional high school across the na-tion. The Play is sponsored by the Concert-Lecture Corn-mittee, and tickets for the production are $1.50 for adults, $1.00 for students, or an activity ticket.
