Rockin' the Paradise Viking Varieties 1983 Involvement in Viking Varieties is always great but this year all of the acts were extremely strong according to Dawn Murray Varieties co-chairman. Murray and her partner Tim Hahn stayed up all night with their selection committee before they chose the acts that finally made up the show. lt was a very long process. We were looking for acts with stge presence and with enough variety to fill out the show, said Murray. There was a large variety of music performed in this year's show ranging from country western to popular music. There were also a number of large groups which was different from past years said Murray. ln addition to the music, comic relief was provided through the antics of MC's Bob Otterson and Mike Woll- man, a ventriliqulst act, and the Gunfighter sketches. The show toured in lowa, South Dakota and Nebraska making a major stop in Omaha. One problem with the show this year was the length. Our show was longer than usual so we sometimes had to cut acts to fit the time we were allowed at the schools, said Murray. Al wifi i , Q! 4. J

Parents Weekend hosts many A Parent, a Provider, a Friend, was the theme for the 1983 Parent's Weekend. Co-chairmen Dale Carl- son and Holly Zerse said that this year's Parent's Weekend was better attended then past years. We were very surprised and extremely happy that we had such a large turn out, said Zerse. The weekend consisted of a welcome for parents and students, a Sunday Brunch, and a tea at Dr. and Mrs. Nelsen's home. In relation to Parent's Weekend the All Nations festival, the dedication of the Siverson organ and the Augustana Theater performance of The Lion in Winter gave parents and students a chance to experience many different aspects of Au- gustana.
