Dance, banquet
are among new
rush features
An orientation meeting,
kick-off dance, and a banquet
for rushees and society members
are innovations in this year's
rush plans, according to Terry
Nelson, president of
Inter-society board. A book with
pictures of all societies and their
goals, similar to one published
several years ago, will be
published again this year.
Rush will take a much shorter
period of time this year, Nelson
said. The change was made to
place the pressure on the
societies rather than on the
rushees.
Orientation will be held Wed.,
March 17, at 7:00 p.m. in GSC
Alumni Auditorium. Society
Life will be explained at this
meeting and questions from
potential rushees will be
answered.
Registration will be held
March 18-20 at the Commons
Desk. $3.00 registration fee will
go to ISB to help pay for the
band, publishing the booklet,
and setting up scholarships.
At kick-off, March 20, the 13
societies will put on
presentations for rushees during
band breaks. "The Persuaders"
will play for the dance. First
rush parties will be March 26-28.
The banquet, a new feature
this year, will be held March 29.
After eating and being
introduced to society presidents,
rushees will be entertained at
society guadruples. Preference
desserts, final rush parties, will
be held March 30. Final pledges
will be made that night and
rushees will know by noon the
next day if they have been
accepted.

The Augustana Theatre will
present Henrik Ibsen's "An
Enemy of the People" March
11-13, 15-17 as part of the
continuing Environment in Crisis
series.
Ibsen is generally accepted as
the greatest playwright since
Shakespeare, and the father of
modern drama. His work is
Norway's outstanding
contribution to world literature.
The subject of the 1882
drama is the poisoning of a
Norwegian health spa by
pollution from a tannery. The
bat hs provide the primary
income for the community,
creating a conflict when the
chief medical officer threatens
to expose the health hazard and
close the resort. Emphasis is
placed on the problems of

Dr. S. G. Froiland, Augustana
College professor of biology, has
been named the director of the
Black Hills Natural Sciences
Field Station, a joint summer
school venture of the universities
and colleges in South Dakota.
Co-operating in the 1971

Enrollment figures show
2081 students
Second semester enrollment
figures as released by the
Augustana College registrar
indicate an all-time high figure
of 2081 students for the
mid-year start of classes. The
total represents an increase of
6% over last year at this time.
A drop of 97 students from
last fall's enrollment figure
amounts to nearly 96%
enrollment retention, by far the
largest of any year in the history
of the school.
A portion of the decline is
attributable to mid-year
completion of graduation
requirements by 42 students,
who in effect were graduated.
Mrs. Sharon Neish, college
registrar, said the enrollment
figures include 75 students in
graduate or post-college
programs, 381 seniors, 441
juniors, 477 sophomores and
707 freshmen. Included in the
totals are 168 students who were
not enrolled during the fall
semester. Of these, 54 are
transfer students from other
colleges and universities, 71 are
former Augustana students who
have resumed their education at
the college, 37 are new freshmen
and six are new enrollees in
Augustana's Master of Arts in
Teaching graduate program.

provide at least one faculty
person per summer as needed.
This year, in addition to Dr.
Froiland, Augustana will supply
Dr. Willard Rosine, professor of
biology, who will teach a course
in ornithology.
The Field Station will operate
on and off the campus of the S.
D. School of Mines in Rapid
City , utilizing the school's
facilities and those to be found
in varied field environments in
the area.
Both undergraduate and
graduate credit courses will be
available during the summer. It
is anticipated that all credits
earned will be accepted by all
member institutions.
Three sessions have been
scheduled with courses in Field
Ecology; Limnology and
Ornithology available during the
June 20-July 17 period; Plant
Taxonomy, Vertebrate Zoology
and Physical Geology from July
19-Aug. 14; and Field Geology
and Range and Grassland
Analysis from Aug. 2-18.
Independent study programs
may also be arranged during the
first two sessions.
The Field Station came into
being following several years of
informal discussions within the
S. D. Academy of Science which
include all public and private
institutions in the state. The
Academy took formal action in
recommending the establishment
of the station.
Financial support will come
primarily from the South
Dakota Board of Regents plus
the teaching services contributed
by the member private and
public institutions. Tuition
charges will be at the regular
$16.00 per credit hour rate for
state residents and $25.00 for
non-residents as established by
the state institutions.
