The fall assembly of the Minne-sota-

Student association will be held
at Carleton college in Northfield,
Minn., Nov. 14-16.
The program will be geared to
inform campus leaders and aspir-ants
to campus leadership of the
responsibilities of leadership posi-tion.
Discussions will begin at 2 p.m.
on Friday. Meetings will continue
on Friday evening, all day Satur-day,
and on Sunday from noon to
3 p.m.
Most of the program consists
of seven discussion workshops cen-tered
around NSA activities and
campus problems. All seven of
these workshops will run simul-taneously.
Workshop one will be on NSA
campus programming. This will
deal generally with NSA structure,
program, and methods of opera-tion.

Bethel college, particularly the
athletic teams, but the college in
general as well, desperately needs
a mascot, stated Don Sension, ath-letic
council chairman.
For this reason, the athletic
council is sponsoring a contest to
find Bethel a suitable mascot. All
students are eligible to compete
and should submit their entries to
either Don Sension, box 530, or
the CLARION, box 350.
The winning suggestion will be
announced in the next issue of the
CLARION.
The $5,520 Senate budget has
been approved by the Student Sen-ate
and will be submitted soon to
the administration for approval.
Included in the budget are allot-ments
for athletic council, cultural
council, religious council, social
council, seminary council, Home-coming
committee, and Student
Senate.

Transportation
To Final Game
Can Be Yours
Don Sension, athletic council
chairman, has come up with one
of his superb ideas.
Since the final game of the
season with Wisconsin Tech is
such an important one it would
be helpful to the Royals to have
some support.
This game is being played at
Platteville, Wis.
Don's idea is to charter a bus
for some Bethel fans.
It is approximately 250 miles to
Platteville so the cost would be
somewhere around $7.50. Part of
this cost might be absorbed by the
athletic council.
Also, an arrangement of some
sort for meals might be worked
out.
If you are interested contact
Don Sension, P.O. 530, or sign up
in the post office.
Income comes from the college
inclusive fee (estimated at $5,000
per year), seminary inclusive fee
(estimated at $300 per year), and
the balance from last years Sen-ate
($220).
With $585, the athletic council
will sponsor men's and women's
intramurals, pep fests, mixers, and
publicity for football and basket-ball
among other phases of their
program.
The cultural council will sponsor
the Minneapolis Madrigal Singers,
the film "All Quiet on the Western
Front," and the Fine Arts Festival.
Their budget is $1,075.
Tentative plans of the religious
council include a program of gos-pel
singing by Mahalia Jackson;
the Jubilee Singers are also sched-uled.
This council will receive
$1,075.
South Pacific, Sno Daze, the
Valentine Formal, and the all-school
carnival will all be present-ed
by the social council. $1,210 is
the part of their budget from the
inclusive fee.
Scholarships, NSA, and two
leadership retreats are provided
for in the $1,000 Senate operating
fund.
The Homecoming committee has
been apportioned $450 and the
seminary council $125.

Vaughn Uhr -- Happy, Forceful Personality
Vaughn Uhr died Sunday, Oct. 19.
Late in the warm fall afternoon the boat in
which he and three other young people were riding,
capsized in the Mississippi river just below St.
Anthony Falls.
Vaughn was a senior this year. He was an un-assuming
person with an outlook which seemed
little affected by the vicissitudes of life and the
vagaries of human experience.
Even more significant was his deep concern
with ultimate realities and the meaning of existence.
He was a serious thinker; one not given to
hasty generalization or ready and easy acceptance
of trite over-simplified explanations.
He got a great deal of satisfaction out of ex-ploding
palpable and popular myths.
He was one of the better "scoffers" on campus
in the keen, critical sense of the word. Gentle irony,
provocative satire—these were the weapons he
would use against bigots and false dogmatizers.
He always enjoyed a good hearty laugh. Humor
was a basic part of his personality; energy was a
fit counterpart.
He was very much engaged in living, and he
placed a strong emphasis on the value of experience.
He had a confident approach to his activities;
he believed in what he was doing.
It was an infrequent occurence that found
Vaughn unhappy. He approached all of life with
easy-going joyfulness which could burst forth into
downright hilarity at most any given moment.
Vaughn was not one of the politically "big"
people on campus. Nor was he a social giant. For
that matter he was not recognized as one of the
religious leaders on campus either.
Yet those who knew him best seem fully agreed
on the 'honesty of his belief.
And everyone who had ever encountered him
would no doubt give witness to the effect his in-fectious
personality had on them.
It was difficult to be unhappy or disheartened
when Vaughn was around. No one can estimate
the true pleasure many people experienced through
knowing him.
It was refreshing to talk to him. He believed
in giving all ideas a fair trial; he accepted only
those which survived this test. And all that he ever
demanded of anyone was that he do likewise.
To say that he will be missed is trite. Vaughn
himself would have laughed at such a cliche.
One simple fact remains: a forceful personality
has been removed from our community; this is a
worthy reminder in itself.

McCarthy's Talk Stirs
Political Discussions Here
Congressman Eugene McCarthy's
appearance at Bethel received, as
well as good attendance, favorable
review. Favorable here connotes
general discussion; it does not
necessarily imply that everyone
agreed with what McCarthy said
or for that matter disagreed with
everything that he said.
Rather, the speech, and discus-sions
which it engendered, would
demonstrate a degree of political
knowledgeability on our campus
which is very encouraging.
But another aspect of the situa-tion
should also be mentioned. A
not inconsiderable number of peo-ple
gave little attention to the dis-cussion,
which is to say that many
indeed failed to attend the speech.
The electorate, and each Bethel
student will soon be part and
parcel of it, needs to become thor-oughly
informed on political issues.
There are many agencies avail-able:
mass media, books, pam-phlets
issued during campaigns,
political speeches, open forums, as
well as informal discussions.
While it is true that McCarthy
spoke on issues which the current
campaign has already defined (and
as a consequence are available in
various forms in the popular
press), it is an infrequent occur-rence
which permits the student,
or voter, to have as ready access
to a candidate for political office
as this speech made possible. Very
few times will it be possible to

Several times during the last
decade, liberal forces in both
houses of Congress have attempted
to pass legislation providing fed-eral
funds for the support of our
public schools. Except for a limited
authorization for loans and scholar-ships
to a special group of stu-dents,
this legislation has been
blocked each time by conservatives
from both parties.
The standard argument of the
conservatives against federal aid
has been that the granting of such
would necessitate federal control
of our school systems. However,
each proposed bill has been loaded
with safeguards against federal
control. Is this then the real reason
for conservative opposition to fed-eral
aid?
Today most public schools are
supported by local taxes. Local
governments receive the largest
part of their revenue through the
property tax. It can be established
that in the typical American com-
I walked up to the second floor
of the Hotel Andrews and into
Room 14 at the top of the stairs.
Four tables formed a square
around which sat the members of
the organization and three visi-tors.
In my seat I was directly
opposite the sign overhanging the
mirror. It gave the name of the
organization — "Socialist Labor
Party."
This was a party-education meet-ing
and there were seven atten-dant
members at the start. After
the meeting began an elderly cou-ple
came in. The man sat down,
but his wife went back out mut-tering,
"Where's Patty; she ought
to be here." (She returned with
Patty five minutes before the close
of the meeting.)
"Donny," who was a young man
about 25 years of age, led the
meeting and raised the question
which was on a mimeographed
sheet in front of him—"How is
the value of the commodity, labor,
determined ?" Each student (the
munity, the property of corpora-tions
or wealthy individuals is
assessed (for purposes of taxa-tion)
at a much lower percentage
of its actual value than is the
property of people in lower income
brackets. Thus the local tax struc-ture
tends to be regressive.
Federal revenue is obtained
largely through an income tax on
individuals and corporations. This
tax is comparatively progressive
in structure and requires more of
those with more ability to pay.
Thus it is in the interest of the
conservative forces to keep taxa-tion
on the local level as much as
possible. Federal aid to education
would mean higher federal taxes
and perhaps lower local taxes.
It is my feeling that in keeping
with democratic ideals, particularly
in providing education for every
child, it is only fair that those in
a favorable financial position dis-charge
their debt to society by
paying a greater share of the cost
of educating its youth.
range in age being from about 20
to 55) was given a chance to re-cite
and did so in terms of "socially
necessary labor time" and "total
social value of the labor product."
The air was filled with theory.
Other questions were raised and
disposed of in similar recitation

One conclusion reached: if the
laborer was given the total value
of his labor, then he need work
but three hours a day. Here I
raised a question and was asked
to please not cut in on the instruc-tion

was given a further lecture, with
the aid of charts yet, on the rise
of capitalism and the evils con-nected
therewith.)

LITTLE MAN
by Evan Rogers
In the past few decades evan-gelicals,
and Christians in general,
have seen their religious books and
movies subjected to close and often
unfavorable appraisal by critics.
While part of this negative re-action
may be due to personal bias,
some Christians have also admit-ted
the unrealistic, overly preju-diced,
and poorly executed nature
of most Christian literary and
dramatic works.
The film Wine of Morning, pro-duced
by Bob Jones university and
shown on campus last week-end,
may be considered a mildly suc-cessful
effort to produce a drama-tic
presentation with artistic merit
as well as Christian significance.
The sets, costuming, music, and
technical production. were of good
quality. Overall, with a few excep-tions,
the acting was only fair,
being marred by such things as
too much South Carolinian accent,
an effeminate Herod Agrippa who
died from eating a green apple,
and a ridiculous "getting acquaint-ed"
scene between (a baby-faced)
Barabbas and (a beautiful) danc-ing
girl.

member in turn read two pages
of the pamphlet "Socialist Recon-struction
of Society." The table was
circuited three times, and during
this time the other members seem-ed
to be very interested in what
was being read. At one time dur-ing
the reading of the preface one
member hastened to apologize for
the favorable mention of Russia,
explaining that the book had been
written in 1930, a time when the
Russian method did seem to be
the true way. (The content of the
pamphlet itself, it should be add-ed,
was a speech given in 1905 on
the cruelty of capitalism from 1860-
1900, a period, for you mathe-matically
inept, between 60 and

but went far beyond the bounds of
realistic plausibility. Although the
end leaves Barabbas in prison, but
fully committed to Christ, he is
close enough to freedom and Cyp-rus
to give the story a "happy
ending."
The strong point and main value
of Wine of Morning is its attempt
to show the impact of Christ's per-sonality
and message on His con-temporaries—
who had to face the
issue of a vital Christianity with-out
the (dis) advantage of insti-tutionalized
religion.

This article by David Riesman,
noted sociologist, now at the Uni-versity
of Chicago, is a preface to
a series which will appear in the
CLARION in the next several is-sues.
This series will deal with
education, the curriciulum, and
will also include a review of
Changing Values in College by
Philip E. Jacob, a book which has
gained considerable prominence
among educators in recent months.
—ed.
(ACP)—The college student of
1958 is in many ways an organiza-tion
man. His response to his
academic environment and cur-riculum
often parallels the re-sponse
of the junior executive to
his corporation, thinks University
of Chicago social scientist David
Riesman.
His views were explained at a
special lecture, reported in the
CHICAGO MAROON.
Students have a false impres-sion
of what will be profitable to
themselves. They sabotage the edu-cational
process by becoming con-cerned
with credits and grades,
and not with the fundamentals of
education. In the opinion of Ries-man,
"Grades contaminate a cur-riculum.
When one seeks a uni-formly
good scholastic record, one
does not discover one's real inter-est."
Today's student is more cautious
and conservative than the student
of ten years ago. Toward much of
the world around him, as interna-tional
relations, he is apathetic.
Marital relations are important
to students: almost all seniors are
either married, engaged, or fore-seeing
marriage.
Students are quite realistic
about college life, and form few

where they found
everything, of course
illusions about it. But one of their
greatest illusions is the belief that
they can in no way affect their
academic environment, declared
Riesman. They don't realize for
example, that faculties are not
the monolithic, tight organisms
they seem to be, but are rather
groups that are often in precar-ious
balance. This balance could
be easily affected by a determined
student opinion.
"This is not to imply that I
want professors to run their
courses on the basis of popularity
queries," insisted Riesman. "I be-lieve
in faculty autonomy. But I
also believe that the students should
have responsibility and influence
over their own fate."
Riesman cited as examples of
student irresponsibility the editor-ial
pages of most student news-papers.
They discuss everything
from parking and pep rallies to
bookstores and dating, but rarely
it there a mention of educational
processes or the curriculum. A few
papers have done something about
this.
"Apathy towards crusaders and
revivalists is a sign of maturity.
But when one becomes apathetic
about one's work, it is hard to
prevent this from spreading to
other concerns. Thus one creates
in every area of life an attitude
that is less full, less complex, less
vital than midcentury opportuni-ties
and encouragement permit."

Bethel's faculty, all former

fourth year Bethel students en-rolled

were invited to the alumni tea last
Thursday.
The object of the tea was to
bring the former education stu-dents

problems and interests and in
this way to maintain their interest
in Bethel.
Thirty-five schools were repre-sented
by 42 teachers. About 65
people were served at the tea.
The tea was informal. Royal
Bloom, chairman of the department
of psychology and education, in-troduced
all the guests. Miss Nel-son

of '50, spoke briefly.
Mr. Bloom expressed the hope
that the tea could become an an-nual

Now is the time for leadership,
Dr. Peterson told the group. Too
frequently students try to post-pone
acceptance of the demands of
leadership. When students think in
this manner, they generally fail
to assume initiative and become
responsible leaders later.

Following the keynote speech
the students divided into groups
for discussions.
The two general topics under
consideration were: "Leadership,
Who, What, and Why," and "Prob-lems
of Bethel's Student Govern-ment."
In these groups the students
concerned themselves with the mul-tiple
phases of the particular prob-lems.
Thus the proposals which
came out of these meetings have
a quality of acceptability about
them.
The students generally concern-ed
themselves with the positive at-tributes
of a leader and his per-sonality
in the discussion of leader-ship.
This, while being of a theoreti-cal
nature, also is advantageous
for educational purposes. Many
leaders would do well to consider
themselves in relationship to the
criteria which the discussions es-tablished.
One group, discussing problems
of Bethel's student government,
came up with specific plans which
might make a significant contri-fall
and early winter months by
the four college classes.
The new officers and committee
heads of the freshman class are
busy planning the freshman party,
which is to be held shortly before
Thanksgiving. The date and de-tails
will be announced soon.
Major campaigns have been
launched by both the freshman and
sophomore classes in regard to
the collection of class dues. Treas-urers
Joyce Wessman and JoAnne
Hudson urge their class members
to pay the required four dollars as
soon as possible.
Nik Dag, the annual turn-about
sponsored by the sophomores, will
be held November 15. It has been
noticed that certain lads have al-ready
begun practice laps around
Edgren residence. Guess they will
never learn!
House parties, a carry-over from
previous years, will be held this
winter in various homes around
campus. Winter sports, perennial
favorites, will again be featured
with skating being a prominent
activity in this group.
The junior class will be busy
this year, planning the junior class
play, the junior-senior banquet, and
other projects.
The efficient and active senior
class has made no plans so far
for this year. However, we have
been assured that as soon as plans
are made, they will be announced
to the student body.
Students Discuss
bution to a workable solution.
Their suggestion was that the
area beside the tennis court be
used for additional parking space.
Another suggestion they made
was that a faculty-student com-mittee
be established which would
prosecute students who parked in
restricted areas.
Clifford Anderson, dean of stu-dents,
spoke on student-administra-tion
relations at the evening ses-sion.
He emphasized the many areas
in which the students and admini-stration
have direct working rela-tionships
and made reference to
the willingness of the administra-tion
to cooperate with student
body efforts in the area of rela-tionships
between the two groups.
Dwight Jessup, Student Senate
president, gave the concluding re-marks.
The fact that the Senate
meetings are open to the student
body was mentioned.
Dwight also referred to various
limitations of student government
and the need to reduce these to a
minimum. He suggested, as one
possibility, that greater responsi-bility
be given to other students.

Tech Tilt Decides Champions ;
Last Game Here Set For Sat.
Caryl Robbins Andrea Krausman
at least two losses. Wisconsin
Tech's record is marred only by
one tie.
Last week the Platteville team
beat Lakeland, 18-0, so they ap-parently
are the stronger team.
But the scouts from Bethel have
told Coach Lundin that both teams
can put up a rough fight. As has
been demonstrated, team attitude
can equalize two unequal teams.
The Royals will be looking for
your support these next two weeks,
so get behind them, and we may
have the first football champion-ship
ever attained by a Bethel
team.
Milton Defeated 33-6;
Blue-Gold Leads B.G.C. by Dave Hagfeldt
On Saturday, Oct. 25, the Royals played the role of "Homecoming
Spoilers," 33-6, under the lights, at the expense of Milton college.
After a scoreless first quarter Bethel came to life and scored two
touchdowns in the second, one in the third, and two in the fourth
quarter. Three extra points were converted.
From the opening kick-off Bethel moved the ball consistently. The
Royals marched down the field several times, grinding out the needed
yardage on the ground to make first downs. Milton's goal line stand
stopped the Royals from scoring early in the first quarter. Bethel's
fullback, Paul Evans, scored first, from Milton's two yard-line, to put
the Royals ahead; Evans also was the target of Baird's extra point
pass. The next touchdown was scored by quarterback Ken Baird on a
four yard run. Baird hit Linden in the end zone for the extra point.
At the end of the first half the Royals led 14 to 0.
Milton came out a fired-up ball club to receive the second half
kick-off, but their lack of depth on the bench was already beginning
to show. Milton's only score came after a drive which took them to
the Bethel one yard-line, from which they scored on a quarterback
sneak. Bethel did not let up however. After another downfield march
Les Borms connected with Jack MeNaughton for another Bethel tally;
Paul Evans again ran the extra point. Fourth quarter scoring was also
dominated by the Royals. Les Borms plunged over the goal-line from
the one, but the extra point attempt was stopped. Connie Woodall
climaxed the scoring with a four-yard touchdown run.
Bethel's defense proved to be tough for this game, only allowing
87 yards on the ground. On offense the Royals rolled both on the
ground and in the air; they rushed for a total of 353 yards and pass-ing
was good for short gains.
Paul Evans bucked the line and received passes for 140 yards, an
average of seven yards per carry; Baird totaled 113 yards.

Healy Tutors Strong Bodies
B B Hopefuls Built '8 Ways'
by C. N. Elven
Shuffling through Bethel's spacious halls I was struck with the
realization that my Clarion column was soon due. Falling in behind
a Bethel bruiser, I let her clear my path in and out of the post office
(post chapel) as only a Bethel coed can. Still in the sea of humanity
I saw Coach Jerry Healy at the other end of the hall. Allowing myself
to be caught up in a fast stream of go-getters (to classes) I was face
to face (well, not exactly) with our beloved coach.
"Say there, Prof Healy, what's this I hear about hoop meetings in
the fieldhouse."
"Well, it's this way—oh, I've got a class—can you come over this
afternoon?"
Standing around observing the pre-game warm-ups, I noticed that
a rather organized pattern was being adhered to. Old-timer Byron
Lindaman was vigorously flailing the air, jumping rope. Terry Batten-field,
last year's M. V. P., was doing push-ups on his finger tips. Bethel's
freshman find of last year, Truman Turnquist was working on another
must: practicing tip-ins off the backboard.
Stray Sem Student Concerned
I asked a concerned sem student what he thought of all this exer-cise.
He replied: "We may not win any games, but we're going to be
in shape. Healy builds strong bodies eight ways."
Then I entered the tidy athletic office with hopes of—that's still
a question. Leaning against the wall, the object of my interrogation
was talking on the phone. Some nasty person began talking to me
and in an unguarded moment Healy slipped past, out onto the floor.
I became aware of this fact when a whistle pierced the din: thump
thump swish, thump thump swish, thump thump . . . thump.
Dejected, I walked over to the bleachers and thumped down. All
I could see was Big Gerry standing a head above his 19 would-be ball-players.
Each •student of the game listened attentively as their coach elab-orated
on some of the fundamentals of the game. After he sent his
proteges off to their various tasks I thought that this might be my
chance.
Starting to rise, I spotted our ball prophet rush to the aid of a
future hook Shot artist. (This all takes time.) A while later I saw an-other
opening to my quest. (He was actually standing still.)
I ambled out onto the floor, weaving my way in and out of fast
moving objects. I stood there looking about (observing).
"Say, aibouit this new game you've got here."
"Could ya wait just a minute." "Have to get 'em shooting free
throws."
"Fine, fine, I'll read history."
Nothing Too Profound
Fifteen minutes later I waved a frantic hand his way to which
he responded with enthusiasm. "Oh yes, just what sort of thing do
you want."
"Nothing too profound; it's too early to push this thing; and
besides, Lynn and the boys have a couple of games left. But what's
with this exercise emphasis?"
"We're not too big this year—You guards aren't cutting sharp
enough—.and in order to be defensively effective we're going to have
to be in good shape. The defense has got to be strong because the
way it looks naw we aren't going to have quite the same scoring punch
as last year."
"Does this mean you'll be a fast-break outfit?"
"Not really fast break—but tough, with a hurry-up brand of ball."
"Well, gotta go now—thanks."
"Ya, hey that was a sloppy pass ! You guys have got to whip that
ball in there. Try it again!"
The Needle
It's about about time for you to take off—ride the athletic council's
chartered bus (a possibility) to the B.G.C. football championships.
Bethel plays Wisconsin Tech in this deciding league final ... Cast
packers, Christenson and Nerstad, are out for the season with bone
trouble. Linden, a regular starter, will also miss Saturday's fray due
to broken glass and a cut wrist ... Note, three out of the five TD's
in last week's game were scored by our three confident qb's—this
is good ... Paul Evans, Bethel's personable fullback, played his usual
inspiring game rushing for 140 yards and scoring seven points ...
Big question, hoopsters, who is going to play pivot? The vacancy left
by Don Becker is a crucial one ... McNaughton, in Neil C.'s form-fitting
jersey, caught another touchdown pass last week: that's two
for the big end ... Seattle's green hornet, Miss Bardahl, collected 300
points for placing second behind Miss U.S. (of Detroit) to win the
National Hydroplane championship. Season points acquired were: Miss
Bardahl, 2,075 ; Miss U.S. I, 2,069. Miss U.S. received 400 points for
her winning effort, but it wasn't quite enough.

Bethel Wins
Homecoming
Stint, 20-6
by Don Westerhoff
Homecoming Saturday, Oct. 18,
the Royals ran over Northland
20-6.
Northland controlled the first
quarter by keeping the play in
Bethel territory and scoring the
first touchdown.
The Bethel eleven started gain-ing
steam in the last part of the
second quarter, rolling down the
field to the Northland 23 yard
line. Then Borms connected with
a screen pass to Gordh who scram-bled
over the goal for the tying
TD.
Following halftime the Bethel
gridders maintained control of play
the rest of the game. The Royals
bulldozed their way up the field
to the Northland seven where
Borms threw to McNaughton for
another TD. Gordh converted the
extra point giving Bethel a seven
point lead.
In the last quarter Del Hudson
recovered a fumble on the Bethel
47 yard line and ran 53 yards for
six points. Paul Evans smashed
through the line for the extra
point.
From then on Bethel just played
out the clock with every player in
a blue and gold uniform seeing
action.
Northland dominated in yardage,
gaining 179 yards to Bethel's 149.
Hudson led the Royals in total
offense with 53 yards; Evans was
a close second with 47 yards.
Participate
Bethel's cheerleaders, under the
leadership of sophomores Caryl
Robbins and Ginny Weispfenning,
are looking forward to leading a
pep club which is being organized
on campus.
According to Andrea Krausman,
chairman of the pep club commit-tee,
all students are urged to at-tend
the organizational meeting to
be held the first week in Novem-ber.
She especially stresses the
fact that fellows, as well as girls,
are needed to make a strong club.
at Platteville, Wis., also in an
afternoon game.
The final game will undoubtedly
be the most decisive game as far
as the Badger-Gopher conference
is concerned. The Royals can lose
to Lakeland and still win the
conference championship by beat-ing
Wisconsin Tech. Naturally, the
boys want to do it up good, so
they are really working to win both
games.
As it stands now, Bethel leads
the conference with a three win
and no loss record. Milton, North-land,
and Northwestern all have
