Six Take "A" Honors
For Winter Quarter
Dr. Clifford Larson, chariman of the department of Bible and
religious education, will be recommended for the office of college dean
by the school board at the June meeting of the conference.
Dr. Larson, a member of the
faculty for seven years, came to
Bethel from the Bible Institute of
Los Angeles where he had spent
three years as chairman of the
department of Christian education.
His undergraduate work was com-pleted
at the University of Red-lands
in 1936, and in 1940, he re-ceived
his B.D. degree at Eastern
Baptist Theological seminary, Phil-adelphia,
Pennsylvania.
In January 1955, he received his
Ph.D. in philosophy from the Uni-versity
of Southern California.
The dean's office has been filled
temporarily by Dr. V. Elving An-derson
since January 1954, when
Dean C. Emmanuel Carlson resign-ed
to accept a position as director
of the Baptist Joint Committee on
Public Affairs, in Washington, D.C.
Pending Conference approval of
the Board's decision of March 7,
Dr. Larson will assume his official
capacities at the beginning of the
1956-57 year. However, he will as-sume
his duties sometime during
the summer. Dr. Larson will be in
complete charge of the academic
program and will act as chairman
of the faculty.
Ogren, Tierney Top
'56-57 Senate Slate
Glenn Ogren, junior, and Jack Tierney, sophomore, have been nom-inated
for the 1956-7 presidency of the Student Senate. Their names
head the slate of candidates for Senate offices, which was released by
a special nominating committee last Friday, for the March elections.
Nominees for the vice president's office are Marjory Peterson,
Linden 114a,,:n=k,:on, and John P..rg.
The slate for other Senate offices has not been completely drawn.
John Douhan and Dick Ottoson are candidates for the chairmanhip of
the religious council.

Schindeler, and George Dvirnak; for the office of financial secretary,
Ed Brunzell, Nils Friberg, and Ed Erickson.
Candidates nominated, for the other secretarial positions include
Hope Seffens and Betty Mattson for recording secretary; Mary Lou
Reycraft and Ardith Rust for corresponding secretary; and Beverly
Voldseth, Marilyn Junker, and Gladys Johnson for religious council
secretary.
The nominees will be presented to the student body at a combined

Vocations
Week Set
For April 9-13
In coordination with the career
festival to be held at St. Thomas
April 10-12, Bethel is planning a
similar emphasis on vocations
during the same week, with cha-pel
speakers talking on the sub-ject,
"What my vocation means
to me as a Christian."
Vocations Week, a newcomer to
Bethel's list of special weeks, is
intended to afford students an
acquaintance with various occu-pational
opportunities. During
three chapel services previous to
Vocations Week, Dr. Clifford Lar-son,
and Walfred Peterson will
present the historical approach to
the matter of vocational choice.
President Lundquist will con-clude
this series by synthesizing
the historical aspect and applying
it to our present day.
No evening sessions will be held
during Vocations Week due to the
Career Festival.

Personality vs. Policy
The basic reason for any election is to choose a desirable program
from the alternatives offered. Personalities in elections should be played
down; elections are not popularity polls. If there is no basic policy dif-ference
between candidates, and personalities constitute the main issues,
there is no reason to have elections.
The Student Senate elections are to be held next week and as is
traditionally the case, the candidates will be elected on a strictly per-sonality
basis. What difference will it make who is elected ? None that
we can forsee, and the purpose of elections is to choose on the basis
of what will be done in the future.
There are two alternatives (outside of having the present meaning-less
elections ( ; either we can have a clear difference in the aims of the
candidates, or the Student Senate members should be appointed by
either the faculty or the administration, who can make the most valid
judgment of ability.
The difficulty in the first course is that opposition on issues is
suppressed on our campus. When the Clarion asked for a list of chapel
speakers to be posted so that students could make their decisions on
chapel attendance more intelligently, the students were told that they
were expected to attend chapel, and that was the end of the matter. No
one asked, "How do not having to go to chapel, and being expected to
be there reconciled with each other ?" Either chapel attendance is
compulsory col' it isn't.
Of course, appointing the members of the Student Senate would
not be democratic, but why make the Senate political if there is no
difference in the aim of the candidates ? Wouldn't it be more sensible
to make some type of a "civil service" out of it?
Our Versatile
Bookstore
Ranging from "flop dogs" to
Homer's "Odyssey," the book store
is doing a varied and rather valu-able
business these days.
Surprisingly enough, not a book,
but the rubber Pluto dog has been
one of the most popular items. In
fact, the book store has already
sold ten dozen "Plutos." Also ra-ther
surprising is the fact that the
sale of Bethel clothing (jackets,
sweat shirts, etc.) has been rather
slow. Lawrence Van Heerden, mgr.,
tends to explain the reason for this
as the shortage of school spirit.
Pocket books are the most popu-lar
reading matter, ranging from
a very light vein (humor and cow-boys)
to cultural topics and to
highly technical matters. The Pen-guin
books and the "College Out-lines,"
on the other hand, seem to
be the least popular, "probably,"
humorously commented Mr. Van
Heerden, "because they don't have
pretty covers!" During the last
three weeks, During the last three
weeks, 300 new pocket books have
been placed on the shelves with
varied attractive titles.
Pause
by Allen Mesko
It was very early on Sunday, October 30 of this year, that I stood
by the window of my house and watched the snowflakes fall. I remem-bered
that far away, deep in the heart of Europe, I knew the pleasures
of the winter as a child.
I shall never forget when my grandfather, a man five times greater
in stature in those days, walked with me through the parks on the 24th
of December of every year. The twigs were almost invisible, and the
deep, crisp, and yet fluffy snow, crunched under our feet. Those evenings
he and I would be outside in the middle of the beauties of our God until
the Christmas gifts were "all set" at home, and there the family would
be ready to receive us as gladly as though we were the lost warriors.
Those days, in late winter, were filled with skiing and hockey. The
flooded playground was cherished by all and we held it dear to our
hearts. The splendid Alpine beauty further enhanced my experiences
of wintertime.
Our experiences vary, but our heart is united in Christ. As we go
about the seeing creation of God, may we see Him! These busy days
absorbed in the rapidly changing, very dynamic technology of our day
we find it difficult to pause. (For one thing, it's too cold outside.) It
will be easier for us to see the lilies of the spring in blooming nature
and consider how they neither toil nor do they spin, than it is to see
the beauty of our Lord now. But in the middle of these "cold and mis-erable—
driving days" we could see the wonderwork of God, if we only
pause.
The crystaline form of the snowflake is masterpiece. The sparrows
can now be seen so dependent on our wonderful Lord Jesus who pro-vides
for them all. At times our local squirrels come out too: just to
get a peek at all this beauty. The spruces, pines, and all the evergreens
are sleeping so restfully like tiny babies: in their heavenly Father's
bosom. Here is where we get just a small peek at th emiraculous per-sonality
of Jesus, who has it all in the palm of His hand! Yes, as I said
before, if we only pause . . .
Thoughts On Sociability
by Junetta Best
If Bethel isn't social we all know that the fault is in the student
body whether we admit it or not. This matter of sociability might be
observed from several different angles. For instance the impression
that outsiders gain from the girl-fellow relationships on campus, and
the mingling of fellows and girls in general as they appear in public
areas on campus could probably stand some discourse, but let's think a
bit about social affairs as a unit and the effects they produce on campus.
How many times in the last few months have you heard this state-ment,
"I wish Bethel would have more activities." It seems to be a
pretty familiar phrase in my thinking and there is just one thing wrong
with it on the surface. Practically all the kids who have made statements
like this are the ones who stay at home when something is going on and
wonder why life is so dull and unexciting.
Perhaps we do need more activities. I cannot determine that, but it
seems that generally there is sufficient social life here. Occasionally it's
refreshing to take part in some activity off campus, whether it is
sports, art, music, or something else, but surely, there are no attempts
to make students go elsewhere for social life.
I believe that one aid to the social conditions on campus would be a
student recreation center where recreational facilities would be avail-able
at any time. It seems that there is a strain on the part of the girls
(whether or not this is collegiate, I am uncertain) in making use of the
recreation facilities provided in the boy's dorm.
For the student body, a social council is maintained for the social
needs on campus. Any gripes should be aimed their direction rather than
voiced before those who are unable to help you, or before those who
might gain uncertain impressions as to our campus activities.
These are strictly personal opinions.

EMORY, VA. — (ACP) — The
White Topper of Emory and Henry
College has given a few hints on
"How to Pass a Course Without
Studying."
Laugh at the professor's jokes.
This is practically S.O.P. for stu-dents,
and the art of laughing at
old jokes should be a pre-requi-site
to college courses. Instruc-tions
for the best laughing tech-niques
are:
A. Pretend not to catch on at
first.
B. Look thoughtful for a mo-ment.
C. Break into a healthy chuckle,
followed by a loud guffaw if you
deem it necessary.
If you must nap in class, do not
do it behind an open textbook, as
this strategy is too old and too
often used. Instead use paper eyes
which are available for this pur-pose
and which can be stuck on
closed eyelids, giving a lifelike
semblance of wakefulness.
Memoirs Made of This
by Bill MacKinney
Someone once said, "People are funnier than anybody." At the
end of our twelve day tour, covering some 2,000 miles, all of the 45
people aboard the slick Zephyr Lines bus could utter a chuckling amen.
I frankly never fully realized the truth in this statement, but now after
spending 12 days in close contact with 44 other characters I can agree.
Our day would usually begin with a squealing of brakes and we
screeched to a halt before the church. Our hostess had hurriedly pre-pared
a delicious breakfast and rushed us down to the church. With the
cry "fines begin at 7:45" still ringing in our ears, we glance at our
watches anxiously as we add our suitcases to the mountain of luggage
next to our gleaming bus. Near the door stands the fine lady (Bev
Carlson) with her attendance book and outstretched palm. Beside her
'could be found Jim (Fat Boy), Hansen eagerly waiting the clink of
the quarter into the party fund bank. As the last stragglers deposited
their quarters, inquiries were being made as to how the various mem-bers
fared overnight. Comments would range from, "I stayed with my
aunt" to ". . . and then they introduced us to their daughter."
Of course there were squeals of
delight at mail call especialy from
the two Marilyns aboard. Once we
got underway, there was our half
hour of spiritual refreshment which
always was a blessing. Following
our quiet hour, Emery Holzworth
could usually be heard singing,
"when it's lamp lighting time in
the valley." LaRue Lindquist usu-ally
accompanied on his slightly
battered $1.49 uke, which Grace
Jolly accidentally sat on. Following
an emergency operation by nurse
Coreen Berry, it was again declared
usable, although Grace was pre-pared
to perform the last rites at
any moment. Lil Boyer contentedly
munched on a brownie while Tom
Young and Sandy Myrberg swap-ped
hillbilly stories. Once while
sitting in back of the driver Sandy
was heard to remark "Wow, I sure
wish I had one of those reflecting
glasses so's I could watch the
kids." Tom retorted, "Man what
you need is one of those rear-view
mirrors."
Once Ruthie Westfall delightful-ly
took a huge bite of a brownie
that Don Stipe had frosted with
creamy looking Barbasol. Poor Don
ended up all in a lather. All I have
to say is, "Wow, what a wing on
that chicken."
The Dirty Bird Pizza Clubber's
were the chief sack hounds at the
rear of the bus. Their usual cry
was, "Oh, look, a pizza place. Let's
eat right here."
The day was usually spent in
boisterous singing, the playing of
various games enjoying good
wholesome fellowship or just plain
sacking out. However, Lil Boyer
discovered a new pastime and was
unanimously elected "Chief Snack
Hound."
When we reached our destination
the usual names would be called
out to fulfill the same old usual
tasks—risers, robe cases, and lug-gage.
After the moans and groans
and then the grunts and groans
subsided we were usually free for
a few minutes before supper. War-ren
"Doc" Nelson could then be
found writing out postcards to all
the fans on his bus route. Almost
without exception, the evening
meals were fabulous. The extra
pounds gained by most of the choir
members reveals how excellently
we fared.
Equally fabulous were the con-certs
(pardon the prejudice). At
least we had a great time singing
even if all the people didn't enjoy
it. The half hour devotional be-fore
every concert, coupled with the
great spiritual life received while
singing the praises of God, caused
us all to grow spiritually.
Some awfully funny things did
happen during the concerts. Aldie
Moberg fell flat on his face while
walking off the risers at Detroit
Bible insitute—he declared he'd
never fall again for that attractive
girl in the front row. Then there
was the time the basses and tenors
got out of formation and Don Stipe
ended up on the back row trying
to peer around Gordie McCrostie.
Or the time Al Mesko's pitch pipe
sounded like the lead in the "Har-monicats"
trio. Baby-faced Stipe
brought down the house the time he
crawled into a crib in the nursery
during intermission only to have
it collapse. After the first Chicago
concert Ron Eckert and Bill Mac-
Kinney were nominated as "The
Bethel Cut-ups," since they both
ended up in stitches.
Taking all into consideration—
the fellowship on the bus, the hos-pitality
showered on us, the con-certs
themselves, and the abiding
spiritual high tone—I think I speak
for the whole choir saying, "It was
an unforgettable time."

Anyone entering the gym during the last few days has wondered
if he were entering a game of dodge ball or a target range. The track
and baseball teams, along with the tennis team, on certain days, have all
been working out at once. So on Tuesday and Thursday you dodge tennis
ball and the rest of the time it is baseballs. This seems to be a good way
to cut down on the population of the track team. A new practice schedule
has been worked out which should relieve the situation.
Prospects seem to be good that this year's Royal diamond men
will have a strong infield, along wtih some increased hitting power.
Anyone interested in reporting out for any of the spring sports
is urged to contact Del Ray Peterson at once. There is still room for
a few more fellows on any of the teams that you might choose.
After watching practice at the fieldhouse for the past few days it
seems fitting to commend the fellows that are making Bethel's athletic
program as much as it is. They are handicapped by several things. The
slough which is developing in the middle of the campus seems to be
the ideal place for a group of fellows to hold their practice sessions.
There have been some improvements made such as the fieldhouse and
the tennis courts, but there is still a lot of ground to be covered.
There is a badminton tournament being planned along with a four-horse
tournament. Those interested may sign up on the provided

ois, fighting back tied the score
and went ahead with four straight
baskets. East retaliated to tie the
game at 10 all. With about eight
minutes remaining in the first half
and the score and the score tied,
Illinois began playing a modified
press on defense and a fast break
on offense. From that point on
East was run off the floor. Illinois
scored six times before East could
score again and the score at half-time
showed Illinois ahead 24-14.
With MacFadyen having four
fouls called on him in the first half
and Kibby picking up his fourth
in the second half, East was forced
to play cautiously. The fast break-ing
Illinois team taking full ad-vantage,
proved too much for East,
piling up as much as a 15 point
lead at times and eventually down-ing
them 38-28.
Dick Andre, top scorer for Illin-ois
with 14 points, displayed good
defensive work and rebounding
while George Visel, massive center
for Illinois threw in 13 points to
aid the victory. For the losing
East, MacFadyen led the squad
with 10 points and Kibby was close
behind with nine points.
In the preliminary game the
third place Plains defeated fourth
place Minnesota 45-32. Leading at
halftime 19-18, the Plains rolled
into action and Jack Anderson and
Norris Magnuson scored 39 of the
45 points. Anderson scored 20 and
Magnuson 19.

Illinois Blasts East Baseball Prospects
Hopeful This Year
Coach Lundin's diamond men
began workouts during the past
week in preparation for their 1956
season.
The men have been working on
fundamentals during their prac-tice
sessions. The limited space
a*oliibits any batting practice,
but bunting, throwing, and other
fundamentals have been drilled
on.
This year's nine will be streng-thened
by eight returning letter-men.
Those of last year's crew
include: Dale Larson, Ed Brun-zell,
John Berg, Jack Tierney,
Dean Baurle, Al Stahnke, Bob
Singleton and Wes Larson. Bring
the squad to its present count of
thirteen members are five new-comers:
Mark Nyberg, Art Erick-son,
Jack Kibby, Ken Albright,
and Joel Stolte.
Hopes for a winning season
this year are high. The squad
last year compiled a four win and
six loss record.
At the present time the sched-ules
are not definitely set up, but
will probably include much the
same opponents faced by last
year's crew such as Concordia,
and Bethany.
Kibby, Albright
Strengthen Squad
This year's baseball team will
be bolstered by two freshmen in
the persons of Jack Kibby and Ken
Albright.
Hailing from Evergreen Park,
Illinois is Ken Albright, six foot
freshman. Ken's services will be
mostly in the infield at third and
possibly at second. He may also
do some pitching. Along with base-ball,
Ken received his award in
basketball.
Another freshman, Jack Kibby,
looks like a good prospect for
either first or behind the plate.
Jack has a sure eye on the ball
and has had considerable exper-ience
on the diamond. He will pro-bably
play first this year, since
Brunzell is a fixture behind the
plate.
These two boys along with Mark
Nyberg, Art Erickson, and Joe
Stolte add to the Royal hopes of a
winning season.
