Happy Staff:
Spire Wins
Top Rating
The 1958 Spire has received for
the first time an All-American
honor rating from the associated
college press (ACP), a national
college publication critical service.
All-American, the highest rating
awarded by ACP, was given to
less than 10 per cent of the year-books
entered in the thirty-eighth
critical service.
Evan Rogers, senior, and Pat
Nichol, now teaching in Maynard,
Minn., were co-editors.
A yearbook is judged by com-parison
with yearbooks printed by
the same method from colleges of
similar enrollment.
The Spire was commended for
harmonizing its formal theme,
"Under the shadow o fthe Al-mighty,"
in overall layout, design,
and copy. "The year in retrospect"
and the photography were both
important factors contributing to
the high rating.
Dr. Samuel Southard, assistant
professor of psychology of religion
at Southern Baptist theological
seminary, will be main speaker in
a series of lectures on pastoral
counselling. These lectures will be
held in Bethel seminary Tuesday
through Friday, Oct. 21-24.
Dr. Southard will be speaking
at the first of two lectures to be
held each morning and also in sev-eral
evening sessions. Various
speakers will be lecturing in the
second session each morning.
Dr. G. Horace Wood, director of
public relations at Mounds-Midway
hospitals, will speak on Tuesday;
Dr. Clarence Rowe, St. Paul psy-chiatrist,
lectures on Wednesday;
and Swan Engwall, associate pro-fessor
of psychology and philoso-phy

Neighbors Speak:
Students Are Regarded Favorably
A much - heralded journalistic
milestone, to which the Sputniks
and the missing moon rocket of the
Air Force are scientific counter-parts
would perhaps not be an
accurate description of the CLAR-ION's
significant interview with
homeowners on the east side of
Arona regarding their reaction to
student cars parked in front of
their houses. Possibly the early
Vanguard missiles would be a more
satisfactory analogy: highly publi-cized
but not overly significant.
However certain remarks by the
homeowners provide some insight
into the problem and might be of
value in orienting students to the
position which the neighbors are
taking in this "controversy." In
the first place it appears that con-troversy
is not the best word
choice; somewhat strong in de-scribing
the mildness with which
these people regard the college.
"I've lived here for 40 years,
and I know a lot about Bethel. I
like the students, and I think they
are fine people. I have no trouble
with them, but my next-door neigh-bor
has difficulty with students
parking in front of his home," one
person observed.
Another individual regarded
Bethel students very favorably and
thought that the parking problem,
while acute in previous years, was
much improved this year.
One of the more enlightened
members of the community had
this to say: "Parking has always
been a problem, but after all the
street is public, and we have no
right to say who can park in front
of our home. It would be very much
appreciated if the students would
park on the other side of the
street or in the parking lot, es-pecially
on Sundays."
Two other homeowners thought
Cultural Film
High Caliber
Dear Editor,
Congratulations to the cultural
council for the excellent film that
was shown last Friday night. The
council should be congratulated on
their wise and tasteful selection
of movies.
The movie was one that leaves
a person with a thoughtful atti-tude.
How could one person create
so much of beauty and realism?
The most awesome thought that
came to my mind was what a won-derful
and rich relationship that
Michealangelo must have had with
God. Or else how could he have
created that which he did?
Thank you seems like something
trite to say for the caliber of en-tertainment
that we experienced.
We just want the cultural council
to know that we appreciated their
efforts and hope that they will
continue in the course they have
launched.
An Impressed Student
Flies Are Bad
Dear Editor,
In the planning of the student
center, there was set aside a stu-dent
lounge. Webster says a lounge
is a place to spend time lazily!
Unfortunately our lounge is not a
place to "spend time lazily" be-cause
of the FLIES. Now I am
willing to concede that there will
be a few flies no matter how ef-fective
the pest control, but I
counted eight flies on one coffee
cup. If all the allotments for con-trol
of this menace have been
spent, let's raise the price of coffee
to six cents and buy FLY PAPER.
Name Withheld
that the students had been much
better this year; and one said that
if he had wanted peace and quiet
he would have moved elsewhere.
One individual however came up
with a very pronounced opinion.
"Most (Bethel students) . . . are
fine neighbors, but some of them
that have cars get pretty disgust-ing!
I don't know why they can't
park over on their side of the
street or in the parking lot. One
time I had to carry my groceries a
whole block because a student had
his car in front of my house. It's
not so bad when they just park
there for an hour or so, but last
winter a fellow had his car towed
up there, and there it sat all win-ter.
I certainly wish something
could be done about it!"
Some Resemblance
Congress has often been accused
of being inefficient; people in at-tendance
at recent Senate meetings
might now have some insight into
this charge.
The most recent Senate meeting,
had any efficiency expert giving
its discussions a second glance,
would appear to be a case in point.
Discussions seemed endless, prob-lems
abounded, and it was difficult
to formulate a motion, let alone
see it through to a successful con-clusion.
The budget came up for discus-sion
again. The recently-approved
increase in the inclusive fee did
not gain the approval of the sem-inary,
which is to say that there
will not be an increase in the sem-inary
inclusive fee.
This constitutes a severe finan-cial
reduction for the Senate since
it had previously been supposed
that the seminary would contri-bute,
per capita, equal shares with
the college.

graphical ref e r e n c es scattered
throughout Tolstoy's writings and
the strictly personal accounts of
the author and his wife. This not
only will satisfy the critical his-torian,
but also allows the lay
reader to gain a very intimate
glimpse into Tolstoy's turbulent
and brilliant mind.
Leo Tolstoy's life was one of
contrasts. As a young man of 15,
he first penned his ideals for a
godly life, yet his inability to ab-stain
from gambling and women
caused continual mental conflict.
An officer in the Russian army
as a youth, he later strongly at-tacked
the use of armed force. A
vociferous social reformer, pro-testing
against the greed of the
wealthy, Tolstoy himself was of a
noble family and lacked no mater-ial
necessities. Known as the
"apostle of love" to the Russian
people, his own home life was one
of turmoil. Recognized as a great
religious leader and writer, he
was excommunicated by the Holy
Synod in 1901 when an old man of
73.
By Deeds of Truth is a work
well worth reading of the contra-dictory
life of this great Russian
genius, "a moment in the Russian
conscience, the most noble incar-nation
of national genius."

Americans awake! Culture cometh to your shores at last. The day
of enlightenment will be Oct. 27 when the Scots Guards Bagpipe Band
and a brass counterpart will perform in Williams arena (U of M gym-nasium
on University avenue at Oak. Perhaps some will recall last year's
performance there by the Black Watch regiment.)
The bagpipe, "a body of air surrounded by a sheepskin", is an an-cient
instrument. It is believed that the pipes were known to the Sumer-ian
civilization 4000 years ago.
Nero, the musically inclined emperor of Rome, showed his musical
skill in the fact that he could play the bagpipes. There is a school of
thought (which has at least one adherent in Common John) which as-serts
that Nero bagged, not fiddled, while Rome did burn. (Anyone is
welcome to join this school by the way. No fees. The only requirement
is that you talk up this hypothesis among your friends.)
The bagpipe reached 'Scotland through the medium of the Roman
occupation forces in early Britain, and became entrenched in Scottish
tradition. Later the instrument proved to be a very effective emotional
stimulant and when played in battle its beautiful tones spurred its hear-ers,
the gallant Scottish clansmen, to do brave and daring deeds against
their English oppressors. Spoilsports that the English were, they out-lawed
the innocent bagpipe as an instrument of war. Death became the
penalty for the possession of this weapon.
Bagpipe music is mainly traditional for two reasons: first, Scottish
traditional music is very exquisite, intricate, and beautiful so that no
one tried to improve upon it..Second, no one has realized the possibilities
in a bagpipe symphony. Horizons are vast.
Take this opportunity now to hear this great bunch of noise.

by Linden Magnuson
A reference to the life of Leo
Tolstoy or to one of his well-known
works makes an unusual impres-sion
on fellow-intellectuals. Your
parents and your kid-brother will
be amazed at the acumen acquired
from three months of collegiate
efforts. Thus the appeal of a bio-graphy
of this great Russian lit-erary
figure of the nineteenth cen-tury.
By Deeds of Truth is a very

life, written jointly by the Russian,
Modest Hofmann, and his French
colleague, Andre Pierre. The bio-graphers

by striving to comprehend, to apprehend reality

a frown chased across his face; agitation fluttered where dullness

severe sadness overwhelmed him, clouds out of eternity

alumni, for that old ritual "Starting the Car." Miss Effie Nelson, wearing a traditional chapeau firmly an-chored

by the religious council.
This full-length (two hours)
color production is based on the
novel of the same name written
by Dr. Bob Jones, Jr., president of
Bob Jones university in Green-ville,
S. C. Universal Films of Bob
Jones university produced the pic-ture.
Wine of Morning is a fanciful
dramatization of the life of Barab-bas,
the man Pilate released at the
demand of the mob. Woven into
the story are a number of miracles
of Jesus Christ including the turn-ing
of the water into wine at the
wedding in Cana of Galilee and
the healing of the man whose
friends let him down through the
roof.
Throughout the film the pres-ence
of Christ is indicated in var-ied
ways though His face is never
actually seen on the screen.
According to the critics, Wine of
Morning has movement, passion,
excitement, impact, inspiration
against the background of the love
and judgment of God.
Bagpipes, Trumpets, and Drums
Signal Queen's Troops Coming
It is gratifying to note the good
faith which the United States and
Britain are exercising toward the
USSR. Both western countries are
going to suspend nuclear weapons
tests after Oct. 31, provided Russia
will continue its test suspension,
as announced last March 31.
However, since that time Rus-sia
has resumed its tests with at
least two new blasts the AEC re-ports.
The western atomic power would
have discontinued tests earlier, but
they desired to complete work pre-viously
scheduled. They also balked
at the fact that no effective system
of detection and control had been
agreed upon by the three powers.
Another item of interest, bearing
on improved international rela-tions,
is the conditional promises
which has been given to Dag Ham-merskjold
that American and Brit-ish
troops will be withdrawn from
Lebanon and Jordan.
However this move will only be
taken if the Arab nations keep
their pledge to live together as
good neighbors.
If the West feels that this is not
being demonstrated then the troops
most likely will be retained in the
countries.
The fanfare of trumpets, the
rattle of drums, and the skirl of
the bagpipes will signal the ap-pearance
of the Regimental Band
of the Grenadier Guards and the
Massed Pipers and Dancers of the
Scots Guards.
On Monday, Oct. 27, these groups
will perform in Williams arena
at the University of Minnesota for
the first program this year of the
University Artists Course "Cele-brity"
series.
Numbering 100, the two units,
normally stationed at Buckingham
palace as part of Queen Elizabeth's
household troops, are presently
touring the United States and
Canada.
The program will be designed to
show some of the ceremonies which
are part of the pomp and pageantry
of Britain. The band, which plays
daily at Buckingham palace dur-ing
the changing of the guard as
well as at the trooping of the
colours on the queen's birthday
and at coronations, will join for
the first time with the men of the
Scots Guards, famed for their part
in the Edinburgh Tatoo.
Traditional uniforms of scarlet
tunics and bearskin bonnets will
be worn by the Grenadiers. The
Scots Guards will wear full High-land
dress including blue doublet,
feathered bonnet, highland sword,
dirk and skean dhu. Their kilts and
plaids will be of the queen's Royal
Stuart Tartan, and their pipes will
be adorned with silken banners
emblazoned with the crests of the
different companies of the Scots
Guards.
Tickets are priced at $1.50, $2,
$2.50, $3, and $3.50 and are avail-able
at the University Artists
Course ticket office, 105 Northrop
auditorium, the Downtown ticket
office, 188 Northwestern Bank

Royals To Host Lumberjacks
Tomorrow For Homecoming
the Chuck-Whole
Famous Miler Race Spoiled
Appears Here By Hot Dogs
by C. N. Elven
Bethel students and alumni will have a chance to see and hear
one of the world's greatest distance runners Saturday night at the
Homecoming banquet.
Newspapers the 'world over screamed the name Gil Dodds in recog-nition
of his brilliant track accomplishments throughout the 1940's.
Gil Dodds, known as the flying parson, has led an eventful life
both on and off the track. As a 13 year old boy he was the normal
lad given to a few pranks. While with a group of playmates, he threw
a rock at the passing car of a farmer. Brakes screeched and the car
came to a stop. After a short-lived
race, the big foot of the
farmer was planted in its proper
place.
A kick in the pants isn't the
most common way of launching a
hobby, but indirectly it did. Lloyd
Hahn, holder of five indoor world
track records from 1924-1929 was
the angry farmer who later be-came
Dodd's high school mentor
and college coach via the mail.
Dodds grew up in Falls City,
Neb. In his early teens he had a
trap line which was scattered over
the country side. In order to check 4,
the line each day and take care of other necessary chores—such as
going to school, etc.—he had to run from one trap site to another. In
total he ran about 12 miles a day which enabled him to build tremendous
legs and stamina.
Falls City high school didn't have a track team. This required Gil
to run on his own initiative, which he did, in the pasture and around a
lake. As a freshman in high school he went to a meeting in a nearby
town by himself. He had heard that athletes needed lots of strength.
After filling up on pancakes he ate eight hot dogs because he remem-bered
that meat is important. All went well in the race that afternoon
until his stomach rebelled.
When a high school junior, Gil hitch-hiked to Peru, Neb., sought
out the officials, and explained why he was there by himself. Dodds
took care of the rest; he ran 13.4 seconds under the former mark in the
mile and broke the old 880 mark by 4.5 seconds.
In the fall of 1937 he entered Ashland college. Ashland had neither
a track coach nor team. Gil again had to train in his own spare time,
receiving instructions from Lloyd Hahn by letter.
Dodds came into his own when he went to Boston for seminary and
trained under Jack Ryder, coach at the Boston A. A. A bomb (Dodds,
an -unknown) was dropped in Madison Square Garden. Greg Rice, the
invincible two miler was slated to walk away with his specialty, but to
the surprise of thousands Dodds was in the lead up to a few yards of
the finish when Rice did sprint by to win. This tremendous duel revived
track interest in the East.

Bethel faces Northland in their
second Badger-Gopher conference
game for the year. Our Homecom-ing
game will be played at Ham-line
field at 2 p.m. tomorrow after-noon.
Northland usually has one of
the stronger squads of the seven

By Mason City
by Dave Hagfeldt
Our Royals lost their home game
opener 7-6 to Mason City on Oct.
4 under the lights at Hamline field.
Bethel took a one touchdown
lead in the first quarter but failed
to make the extra point. Several
times the Royals were on the verge
of pushing over for a second touch-down,
but each time their drives
were stopped.
A pass from Borms to Baird on
Mason City's eight yard line re-sulted
in Bethel's lone touchdown.
Bethel's passing proved to be semi-effective
with Borms connecting
for a total of 44 yards and Baird
for 25.
Mason City scored in the fourth
quarter on a pass play from quar-terback
to end which went for 30
yards and converted the extra
point which proved to be the game
winning effort.
In total offensive yardage gain-ed,
Mason City held a slight ad-vantage
— 140 yards to Bethel's
125. They seemed to be most ef-fective
with a quarterback option
type play which was run by Hahn.
Baird and fullback Evans led
the Royals in rushing with totals
of 64 and 49 yards respectively.

teams in the conference. This year
they are reported to be big and
reasonably fast.
As the only basis for comparison
that we have, Northland was de-feated
by Lakeland; Lakeland lost
to Northwestern of Wisconsin;
Northwestern was decisively over-come
by Bethel in our second game
of the season.
Milton, Lakeland, Wisconsin Tech

Bethel. Although Bethel has play-ed

On Saturday night, Oct. 11,
North Park college of Chicago
topped the Bethel Royals, 24-6.
North Park held a 12-0 lead at
the close of the first quarter, and
the game was decided there. North
Park scored six more points in the
second quarter. They also scored
a touchdown in the final period.
Surprisingly all of the point after
touchdown attempts were missed.
Bethel's six points were scored
when Del Hudson blocked a punt,
and Jerry Oas grabbed the loose
ball and carried it the remaining
10 yards to the end zone.
Phil Johnson of North Park, who
has been spoken of as a possible
little All-American, played one
fine game and was definitely a
factor in the outcome of the game.
It is apparent that Bethel sus-

years, this is the first time that
these teams have been united into
a football league.
Our coach, Lynn Lundin, says,
"I'm sure we can win this game
Saturday, and I think we can come
out on top of the league, too. All
it's going to take from us is de-sire—
and we've got the men who
want to play ball."
After viewing the inspired brand
of ball played in the second half
of the North Park game and the
spirited work displayed at prac-tices
the past few days, the squad
appears to have this desire and
will play some good solid football.
tained a thorough beating Satur-day
night, but that is not the en-tire
story. Something else happen-ed
that ro can really explain.
Perhaps it is due to the fact
that more Bethel players got into
the contest than any previous one
this year. One substitute, who was
given the opportunity to play for
about three plays, said, "I've got
the bug now. I really want to play."
This new-found desire in some
members of this football squad, if
it really is desire and not just
talk, should show up tomorrow.

Congratulations to our new YELL leaders who have done such a
tremendous job in our first two home games—thanks to Ginny, Peanuts,
Doreen, Carol, Andy, and Judy ... Gophers at the U must be leading a
dogs life—losing in each of their three starts, real close heart-breakers
... Movies of the Mason City game were very revealing, Coach L. L. has
seen them at least 50 times���a zig instead of a zag could have made
the difference, but as Healy says, "that's the way the switch-blade
sticks" ... The question is to freeze or not to freeze at the next ball
game—yell a little, it helps—also bring blankets ...It was nice to see
a single wing in our backfield the past two weeks ... Miss U. S. of
Detroit won the Governor's Cup in Indiana to put the National Hydro-plane
Championship up for grabs. Miss U. S., Maverick, and Bardahl
will battle it out in California with Maverick my bet but not my choice.
Good luck, Bardahl.
