Peace Is Drafted--to conducting church services?
Estes Tells of Camp for Conscientious Objectors
What happens to the "conscientious objector" after he has voiced his "disbelief in violence as a means of life"?
After being drafted last spring, Lloyd Estes, last year's I.S.A. secretary, began alternative service at a special camp for conscientious objectors in Merom, Ind. Estes, a junior in the college with a psychology major, was a self-supporting independent who had done everything from running for freshman class president
in a small country parish.
In the Civilian Public Service Camp at which he is stationed 84 objectors—70 per cent of whom hold cacheler, master, or doctor degrees.
No Renumeration
Financially, being a conscientious objector has its drawbacks. Estes writes that instead of receiving $21 a month as the selectee does, the public service camper pays the government $35 monthly. However, an allowance of $2.50 a month is made for incidentals.
Regarding the prejudice that popular opinion tends to have toward objectors, the Plowshare, official camp publication, recently printed this item "We have been called many things, but one of the best we gave heard came from a drunkard who staggered over to a bunch of boys one evening and remarked: 'Are you part of them consecrated injectors up on the hill?'" Work-Eight House
Work Eight Hours
Life is anything but easy at the camp, according to Estes. He states,
"We arise at 5:30—breakfast at 5:45 after which we clean our cabins—meditation at 6:30—work begins at 7—lunch at 12—work from 1 to 4 then we are free to do as we please."
Members of 14 different denominations are represented in the camp. Objectors feel convinced that their camp is "constructive witness to their belief of a peaceful life."
Administration of affairs, other than that done by the government, is largely left up to the members of the camp. Meetings are conducted in Quaker fashion with open discussion. Objectors believe their camp to be emblematic of the purest kind of democracy. No Race Prejudice
All trades are represented at the camp from truck driver to architect. There are Negro as well as white campers.
Enthusiastic over the camp, Estes says, "My greatest joy in the camp is watching, hearing, and sensing democracy working. If it doesn't work here, I know it will not work anywhere!"

Big Black Bear to Be In Dyche
A hunting expedition in Yellowstone National Park in September, approved by the National Park Service of the Department of Interior, provided a 500-pound black bear which will soon make its appearance in Dyche museum.
The skin of the bear is to be stuffed and placed on the panorama floor of the museum, and the skeleton returned to the University for comparative study. Abegg also brought back many specimens of smaller animals from Yellowstone to be placed in the museum.
Klaus Abegg, museum technician and taxidermist, in the company of a park ranger, spent three days hunting bears before a satisfactory specimen was sighted. The ranger was the marksman.
