Luther vs. Eck? Lincoln vs. Douglas? These disputations had nothing over the great debate that will happen this Thursday! Come hear the virtues of lefse expounded over the subtleties of lutefisk. The best of Norwegian cuisine will be argued and defended from the viewpoints of four academic disciplines: William V. Frame (Political Science), Lori Hale (Religion), Joan Griffin (English), and Ken Kaminsky (Mathematics).

Communication prof and debate coach Bob Groven will moderate. The kind Norwegian ladies of the Augsburg Associates will act as judges.

Delicious food and beverages will also be served. (Whether or not that includes lutefisk, you'll have to come to find out.) All are welcome.
