Westerlund Gets the Bird J 7..MMtjg A popular extra-curricular activity off campus these days is hunt-ing. Many of the students have taken to gun-totin' as the quest for ducks and pheasants goes on. Perhaps Lawrence Westerlund's good luck as shown above is the cause of the present bird shortage. Anyway it looks mighty delicious, Wes! WIZ 74 alioalaita.

Dak., Vol. XVII, No. 22 Nineteen to Attend Registrar Submits Enrollment Figures LSA Conference Latest enrollment total as compiled in the registrar's office is 947 students. The freshman take the upper hand as they outnumber the other three classes combined. For better than a week, Miss Knudson, secretary to the registrar, has added to and subtracted from a record enrollment until with trepidation, she submits this hopefully stable list of statistics. Nineteen Augustana students will leave tomorrow, November 1, for Grand Forks, North Dakota, to attend the Northwest Regional Conference of the LSA this week-end.., This meeting of Lutheran college students who have taken as their theme, A Race With Catastrophe, will be held on the University of North Dakota cam-pus. The meetings will begin with a candlelight service Friday eve-ning with Dr. Morris Wee, execu-tive director of the Student Ser-vice Commission, speaking on the subject, Facing the Future with Fear. Saturday, November 2, will be devoted to business sessions and discussion seminars. Bible studies will be led by Dr. Richard Syre of the Western Theological seminary, Fremont, Nebraska.

Its So Depressing By George Douthit The other morning as I fell out the back door,* I came upon a startling thing. There upon our sidewalk was a very mysterious chalkmark". Of course I im-mediately thought of our neigh-bor's dog. I have always sus-pected that he disliked me and it would be just like him to do something like that. (I think he's Communistic.) I like dogs. I know a lot of dogs that seem to be smarter than people. I also know some people who are smarter than dogs. This dog will lay in his yard and pre-tend to sleep. He is really listen-ing to my conversation.*** Naturally I complained to the neighbors. They said he couldn't write a word. I told them I didn't have to take that from a dog and that either the dog would have to leave or I would. They said I was right. I'm now look-ing for an apartment. All in all, I don't think dogs are as nice as people think they are. *I think someone had sneaked in during the night and moved the steps around. **I have always been afraid something like this would happen. "*I think he reads my mail too. Stressing the importance of the discussion of world affairs the International Relations club was reorganized at a meeting in the speech room Tuesday evening, October 29. Adrian Dalen, senior, was elec-ted president. Other officers in-clude Jake Boomgarden, vice-president and program chairman, and Juell Ness, secretary and treasurer. Publicity will be handled by Laurel Gray and Wes Sandvig. Dr. Tonning and Pro-fessor Jorgenson are the faculty advisors. It was decided that the meet-ings will be held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month lasting from 8 to 9:30 p. m. Sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation of International Peace the club will base it's discussions on periodicals sent out by that group. The next meeting will be held Tuesday evening, November 5. Place of meeting and the topic to be discussed will be posted on the bulletin board. Flom to Revise Constitution With the appointment of a five-man committee, Student Presi-dent Bob Flom announced that plans are now under way for re-vising the present student body constitution. Elda Ust, Lorna Pearson, Bob Holdridge, Virgil Johnson and Flom comprise the group who are in charge of rewriting the docu-ment. Word has been received that President L. M. Stavig has reached his destination of Shekow, China, the home of the Lutheran Sem-inary, where the Conference of the Lutheran Church of China was to be held October 20-24. With Dr. Daniel Nelson, mis-sionary to China, Dr. Stavig left from San Francisco October 4, stopping at Honolulu for seven hours, at the Johnston Islands, Kwajelein and Guam for short periods, and with a twelve-hour stop at Manilla. Exerpts from letters written to Mrs. Stavig relate some of his interesting experiences in the Orient: "My plane, a DC4, was not a "de luxe" liner like the transcontinental planes in this country, but a converted trans-port plane, carrying 22 passengers and having the baggage strapped along one side of the plane. Only sandwiches, coffee, and fruit juices were served on board, but at the stops we were fed in Navy mess halls. The passengers took turns sleeping on rubber mat-tresses laid out in the aisle." On board were a Filipino judge, brother of the President of the Philippines; a colonel, an Army engineer who had just surveyed the railroads and harbors of China and was going back to put them in shape; a Chinese who was one of Chiang's six generals during the war, and who was so overjoyed when Dr. Nelson could speak Chinese to him that he promised them a Chinese feast when they reached Shanghai. After the plane arrived in Shanghai October 8, Dr. Stavig spent a week in that city visiting the mission headquarters of var-ious churches in China. Fortun-ately he was able to live at the Lutheran Service Center, which "was indeed a welcome home." He writes of the terrible in-flation of Chinese money. Chang-ing a $20 bill, Dr. Stavig said he received $71,000. "Even if you receive $1,000 or $2,000 bills, it is useless to try to use a bill fold," he wrote, "so you just roll up the money and put it in your coat pocket." It cost $1,300 to send an air mail letter home. A ton of coal costs $550,000. On October 15 Dr. Stavig flew from Shanghai to Hankow, only a three-hour trip by plane, but it took two and a half hours to get from the air port to the place in the city where he was to stay. This trip was made over the roughest kind of roads—by truck, by ferry, and by rickshaw. "It was good," he writes, "to come to the Lutheran Mission Home and Agency, a modern, well equipped hospitable center." While in Hankow, he ferried across the river and spent part of a day visiting the Central China university, a Christian institution. The whole Hankow area was occupied by the Japanese as early as 1937 and has been badly hurt. The letter continues, "Shekow is twenty miles north, but com-munications and transportation are very difficult. No telephone, of course. Long distance phone is non-existent. Telegraph is very uncertain. The train takes two hours to go from Hankow to Shekow. It leaves early in the morning and it is almost im-possible to get on board. We met it going south and it was cer-tainly a sight to behold — old flat cars so crowded it looked like a solid mass of people. Even the engine and coal car and the spaces between the cars were crowded with people and some of them even hanging on the outside. Four of us got a bus (in our country a truck) and came over the roughest road I've seen." Shekow was in Japanese hands from 1937 to November, 1945. The Seminary property was badly damaged. Only two houses out of the five for the professors are yet habitable, though much repair work has been done. There is no furniture left. The delegates to the conference are bringing their own camp cots and bedding. Dr. Stavig said he borrowed some bedding in Shanghai and had brought a bed out from Hankow on the truck. There are no lights except lamps and candles. In spite of handicaps, various committees were meeting during the days before the conference and planning for the work of the church. These meetings, Dr. Stavig says, were "strenuous but worth while. There is a fine group of people here." Dr. Stavig has booked return passage on a plane leaving Shanghai December 2, but will come by boat early in December if that is possible.
