If there seems to be more
people on campus than ever
before, it is because this year a
new goal has been reached in
Vol. 50 No. 3 enrollment.
The total number of
registered students at Augustana
for the fall semester is 2104.
This is an increase of about fiVe
percent over last year. There
are about 681 freshmen, 504
sophomores, 415 juniors and
435 seniors with 69
post-graduates. They represent
all sections of the United States
and nine foreign countries.
Approximately half of the
student body is from South
Dakota, one fourth from
Minnesota and about 11
percent from Iowa. The
remainder cover an area from
New York, Alaska and Hawaii
to California and Texas.

from the continent of Africa.

Competition is running high
in the air once again on the
Augie campus as top students
vie for a spot on the nationally
televised G.E. College Bowl.
Recently information was
received that sometime in the
near future Augustana will be
able to try their wits at the
highbrow game of question and
answer in New York City. And
now comes the task of selecting
representatives to comprise a
team.
Through Nancy Kay
Peterson, governor of fine arts,
and Dawn Schroeder, governor
of forms and discussions,
amateur quiz bowls are now
being held every Friday at 4
p.m. in the Commons lounge to
eliminate competing students.
Questions used on the sample
quiz are those previously
presented on past shows.
The judges presiding over the
preliminary rounds represent
the three departments tested
upon. Acting as judge in the
social science department is Les
October 8-11, the second
session of the Rights of Man
Series will commence with a
confrontation of the Indian
community. As Senator Harris
stated at his press conference, the
Indian community is probably
the most relevant of the race
relations problems facing South
Dakotans and Augustana.
The speaker of the four day
session will be Mr. Harold
Shunk, the former
superintendent of Rosebud
Indian Agency. Mr. Shunk will
speak on campus Thursday,
October 10.
There will be fifty guests on
campus representing Indian
Communities around the state:
Flandreau, Pine Ridge,
Rosebud, Yankton, and Sioux
Falls. The program will not
consist of many speeches, but
will include dialogues: in
dorms, at meals, and coffee
hours in the Jabberwock.
A series of 3:30 p.m. coffee
hours will consider such themes
as "How do we talk together?",
"Woman's eyeview", "Tribal
politics", and "Indian view on
history."
Among the other speakers
will be the U.S. Public Health
Service social worker from the
Community Mental Health
Center at Pine Ridge, the
director of economic
opportunities at Pine Ridge,
and three Indian pastors who
will speak in chapel and at an
evening meeting.
A festivity of the series will
include Indian dances on the
green, Thursday, Oct. 10.
What It Means to U. S.
by Betty Griggs
United Soul Representative
Major aim: To become acutely
aware of Blackness, past,
present, and future.
Blackness means the heritage
of the Black man throughout
the history of the world.
(2) U.S. seeks to promote
unity in the Black
communities by
(a) Encouraging and
promoting social and
economical stability and
interdependence
(b) Providing incentives
and means of gaining
knowledge of Black art,
music, and literature
(3) U.S. seeks to encourage
c o mmunication between
Blacks and Whites by
(a) Systematically
informing and thus
educating the White
community of the fact
that the current crisis is
a direct result of a lack
of knowledge on the
part of the White
community of the
Black man and his role
in society.
The slogan of U.S. is one that
is very familiar to all persons
who are, in the least bit,
familiar with Christianity.
"God gave Noah the rainbow
sign--
no more water, fire next
time!"
