| Summary: | Friday, April 9f 1954 THE OONCORDIAN Page a Stage Vets Develop Characters Sighs, groans, laughs, tears—they're all part of it. "It" being practice for the spring play, "Barefoot in Athens." Knowing that "practice makes perfect," the amateurs go over their lines again and again and then once more. The cast of the May 6, 7,/ 8 production includes many veterans of the Cobber stage. Playing the part of the philosopher Socrates, Jim Hauge, a junior, has also ap-peared in two three-act plays and directed a one-act play this win-ter. Ruth Anne Senstad, also a > Junior, made her Cobber stage debut as a freshman in the well known "I Remember Mama." This spring she plays the part of Xantippe, the wife of Soc-rates. Ron Gandrud as Critias and Arlys Kjos as Theodate have also acted on the Oobber stage. This is the second role this year for freshmen Jerry Hanson and Clair Haugen. Jerry appears as Lamprodes, Socrates' son, and Clair as King Pausanious. With a cast of such experience, an excellent production is antici-pated.

This story explained that al-though there is a larger enroll-ment of freshmen this year, the maximum number of 60 members for each society will remain the same. This is an attempt to balance the membership of all societies. The official number of spring pledges for each society cannot be given as all dues are not yet paid; however, an approximate number can be given which may help freshmen and transfers to choose a society before the pledge day, April 23. Often to freshmen one of the most important things about a so-ciety is that their friends can all be together, and maybe this will give a clearer idea of the number of new members each society can take. They are as follows: Nu Sig 55 Delta Rho 44 PKX 33 BTO 48 Alpha Zetes 32 Athenian 25 LDS 23 AES 28 MSP 25 STP 23 AKX 23 Mondamin 20 Carnival Clowns Connive Carnival! is the. theme for the AKX tea to be heid in the North Gym Saturday at 2 and 3:30 p. m. All frosh and transfer girls are invited. The carnival theme is being carried out in the colors red and white, with merry-go-rounds, pop-corn and other carnival gaities. A clown band composed of Mondamins will lead the parade to the tea. When you hear the band, you'll know it's AKX Car-nival Time at Concordia. The program will include Nancy Snesrud as the barker, a girls' trio, a solo by Charles Halgrimson, hucksters, fortune tellers and ThereVe Been Changes Made By Dale Huse Last semester the old gym un-derwent a renovation that trans-formed it into one of Concordia's more beautifully modern build-ings. The beginning of this se-mester saw the hnal touches being frantically added when classes had already begun. Finally the last coat of varnish was dry, and classes began. The transformation hns been great. One is justified in won-dering how the art department managed under their old set-up. The now building is a won-derful boon to the department, for the staff is no longer handi-capped in their teaching work, as they were before. The students also benefit by it, for now they have a more pleas-ant working environment which, psychologically, should be condu-cive to better work. Also the lack of space, which was an ever pres-ent problem before, has been pret-ty much solved, and as a result students find they have a place to work during their free time. The design of the building's in-terior, a product of Edward Sovik, the architect responsible for Trin-ity, is such that it is functional as well as beautiful. The color scheme was worked out by Cyrus Running, art department head. The lighting used is excellent, be-ing of the type that comes closest to daylight. The main floor plan includes a spacious gallery; design, paint-ing and crafts studios; utility, lecture and reading rooms; plus two office studios for the depart-ment staff including Mr. Run-ning and Miss Betty Strand. The basement floor has a dark-room and a sculpture room which is not being used as yet. The up-stairs loft, which is an ample storage space, is also convenient tor carpentry work. As one student put it, the new-building "signifies progress." And it certainly does. If you have not as yet looked it over, do so. You will be proud of it. Spanish Class Breakfast Students of the eight and nine o'clock first year Spanish classes won't have to rush to the cafe-teria for breakfast early Tuesday morning. Instead of meeting in regular class session they have decided to eat together using Eas-ter as the theme for the breakfast and program. WOOD'S Dairy Bar and Cafe Across from The Cass-Clay Creamery 915 - First Ave. South Moorhead, Minn. clowns galore! Miss Dorothea Nevramon, advisor for AKX, will extend a greeting to the girls. General chairman is Martha Ol-son. Committee heads are Mari-lyn Lund, Naomi Larsen, Jean Bekkerus, LaVerne Siverson, Joan Engel, Marilyn Lee, Kathy Peder-son, Jean Evenson and Joanne Greuel. MONDAMIN OPEN HOUSE "Meet Mondamin" is the theme of the open house to be held Sat-urday at 11 in the caf for all freshmen and transfer men. A trombone quintet, men's quar-tet and skit are scheduled for the program, says Jack Larsen, general chairman. Sophomores In Recital Ardis Hector and Betty Quam, sophomores, will present a joint recital Sunday at 3 p. m. in the rehearsal hall. Betty, cellist, is studying under Sigvald Thompson. She will play selections by Bach, Carsado, Laune and Saint Saens. Ardis will include piano solos by Scar-latti, Bach, Mozart, Brahms and Debussy. She is a student of Paul J. Christiansen. Cabinet Notes Mary Ellen George opened Mon-day cabinet with devotions. The next hour and one-half were spent In lively discussion based on the letter to the edi-tor In last week's CONCORDI-AN concerning school spirit. Charles Halgrimson, William Rcinthaler and James Neff, wri-ters of the letter, were present. They clarified two paragraphs of their letter before proceeding to outline exactly what they were referring to when they spoke of the lack of school spirit. The cafeteria was the subject of the paragraph which mentioned the student senate directing its ener-gies toward a goal in the common interest without the consistent backing of the student body. The other point was the sug-gestion that a wishing well or something similar be set up to raise funds for improvement of the student union. A summary of the rest of the meeting will be found on page one. Reinthaler, Neff and Halgrim-son were appointed to work with the social commission in plannnig the spring all-college party. Procedure for nominating can-didates for student body offices was debated. A motion to in-clude the juniors who are in the cabinet in the nominating meet-ing Tuesday evening was passed. Pete Ristuben, NSA commis-sioner, read a letter from the na-tional office calling for candidates for a summer leadership training course to be held at Harvard. Members present: George, Ris-tuben, John Anderson, Clara Hel-ling, Paul Mork, Robert Williams, Phyllis Burgess, Jim Narveson, Harvey Wilson and Rich. Absent: Dale Sandstrom, Paul Opsahl and Carl Lucky Jr. (ex-cused).
