Viking Days Hours and hours of planning went into the 1981 Viking Days, as chairpersons Mark Backman and Becky Hatch can vouch for. Activities were planned throughout the week of Oct. 5-10 to keep excitement building to the annual weekend activi- ties. Events included shoe kicking, lutefisk eating, beard growing and the popular Norwegian joketelling contests. Wednesday Janine lNeenerJ Rew was crowned the 1981 Vikings Day queen. The queen's court included Nancy Lamb, Rachel Imbrock, Kim Burkholder, Faye Leistad, Kay McMinn and Gina Waltner. One unplanned activity that took place was a campus bomb scare. Friday a note turned up in the Student Activi- ties office, warning that bombs were planted in the gym, library, Commons and both Towers dorms. The buildings were evacuated, but no bombs were found. The dance was moved, however, to the Coliseum. The '81 parade weaved its way through downtown Satur- day morning. 121 entries were involved in the parade. Mon- ey for class floats was donated by local businesses. Rob Nelson, parade chairman, said the parade was a great suc- cess. More than forty acts auditioned for the 1981 Viking Var- ieties. After the final judging was complete eleven acts re- mained. Acts ranging from contemporary music to the way- out antics of the Blues Brothers entertained two full houses at the Sioux Falls Coliseum on Saturday night. When the show was completed, the cast and crew packed up for their annual tour. The tour went as far west as Casper, Wyoming. 0 5? we W..- Queen Janine e W
