Lecture Series
Begins In Sem
Inaugurated in Bethel seminary
this fall will be the Adolf Olson
Memorial lectures, to be delivered
this year, October 9-12, by Dr.
George Ladd, professor of New
Tect-p -mPni- history and hihlipal
theology at Fuller Theological
seminary.
Intended to be an annual event,
this lectureship is in honor of the
late Professor Adolf Olson, who
served Bethel as a member of its
faculty for forty years until his
death last year.
According to President Carl
Lundquist the purpose of these
lectures will be to seek to "mag-nify
a high academic approach to
significant theological areas. They
are not designed to be either light
presentations of popular topics or
to evangelism as such, but are to
be addressed to the world of cri-tical
scholarship."

under the direction of professor
C. Howard Smith, for the coming
year are as follows: Marilyn Hag-strom,

Debaters Organize,
Question Selected
Heading for Bradley university,
Peoria, Illinois, in November for
the first major tournament, the
Bethel debate squad is beginning
work on this year's American in-ter-
collegiate debate question, "Re-solved:
That the United States
should discontinue direct economic
aid to foreign countries."
Returning as a team from last
year are Marge Peterson and
Betty Mattson, who last year made
good showings against such teams
as Dartmouth, and Augustana of
Illinois, as well as against teams
entered in the upper midwest
tournaments. Also returning from
last year are Jack Tierney, Fred
Schindeler and Lois Larson.
Several other students have also
shown interest in debate work this
year, including Al Glenn, Beverly
Voldseth, Bill Browning, and new
students Karen Christensen, Den-nis
Johnson, George Lasater, Allan
Tervonen, and Sharon Bergstrom.
Tournaments this year will in-clude
the Red River Valley tour-nament
at Fargo, North Dakota,
and the Wisconsin tournament at
Eau Claire, Wisconsin, among
others.
Coaching this year's team are
Dr. Paul Grabill, assistant pro-fessor
of English, and the Rev.
Lee Kingsley.
The notice for bidding on the
project will be in the trade journal
on Thursday, September 27. All
bids for contracts must be to
Wyman Malmsten, assistant to the
President, by Tuesday, October 23
in order to be considered. They will
be opened then under government
supervision and contracts will be
let.
Completion of the buildings is
scheduled for September 1, 1957,
in time for the 57-58 school year.
Included in the additions will be
housing for 80 men and 60 wo-men.
Rooms will be designed for
two people. Also included will be
a new student health service. It
will contain hospital units for both
men and women, an isolation
room, and an examination room.
There will be a nurse's laboratory
room and a reception office. The
nurse will have her living quar-ters
adjoining the hospital unit.
The basement of the addition to
Bodien residence will provide addi-tional
dining room space equipped
with movable partitions to ac-commodate
groups of 25 to 100
people.

Dr. Virgil Olson
Translates Book
On Church History
Translated by Dr. Virgil Olson,
seminary professor of church his-tory,
Gunnar Westin's "The His-tory
of the Free Church Move-ment
Throughout the Ages" is
slated for publication May 1 by
Broadman press. It is expected
that the book will become a text
in some U. S. seminaries.
Dr. Olson commented:
"The book traces the free church
concept including a church free
from state control as well as
church hierarchy. Several reac-tionary
groups are discussed and
their relationships to this prin-ciple.
Special attention is given to
the Anabaptist movement in the
sixteenth century and the develop-ment
of the free churches such as
the Baptists and Congregational-ists
in modern history."
Dr. Westin, the head of the
Church History department at
Sweden's Uppsala university, is
the newly elected president of the
Baptist Union of that country.
Now a guest professor at South-ern
Baptist seminary, Dr. Westin
has been invited to speak here
Dr. Olson
later this year.
The translation of the book was
begun by Dr. Olson in the spring
of 1956. Copyreader was Mr. Swan
Engwall.

Concentration! Concentration! The key that unlocks the golden
door of enlightenment.
A little learning is a dangerous thing.
Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring.
These immortal words echo and re-echo down the halls of our
eager freshman's mental chamber as he ascends the library steps. He
is not sure who penned this inspiring passage and he hasn't the slightest
idea where or what the Pierian spring is but a warm feeling wells up
as he allows these great thoughts to possess him.
He passes through the doorway of the reading room and he
imagines that he has just parted through the bordering veil of solemn
water to the midst of the revealing spring, drenched to the cerebrum
with its stimulating flow.
He chooses a desk along the wall clear of the distraction which
he found in his room. He selects his instrument for the first pursuit
of knowledge and opens to the first chapter. Now, having read thor-oughly
and carefully his pamphlet, written in a simple entertaining
manner for easy comprehension, titled How to Study and having paid
most diligent attention to lecture and advice of faculty and fellow
students, he is ready to set out upon his search, clearing his mind of
all other thoughts save absolute concentration on the subject before
him.
To his amazement he suddenly realizes that all is not at rest
around him. His fellow scholars are actually whispering and talking,
breaking—without respect—the solemn silence due a place of learning.
He is tempted to stop his ears to relieve himself of this hindrance
but decides against it since he does not wish to allow his concentrative
power to become dependent upon such a crutch, in addition to being
horrified at the mental picture he gets of himself in this state.
He ducks his head a little closer to his book, squints his eyes to
increase the directness of his attention, reaches up with the strong
hands of his will power, grasps his mental capacities firmly, and
the following words pulsate through his brain:
"I will not hear the noise, I will concentrate. I will not hear the
noise. I will concentrate."
On and on through the evening his soul chants the strain as
his eyes flick rhythmically across the page.
During a careless crack in his otherwise invulnerable shell of
consciousness, his being detected is a strange change in his sur-roundings.
It is deathly still. He scans the room with blood-shot eyes
to find himself alone and the clock indicating nine fifty-seven. He
leans back, stretches, utters a sigh which combines fatigue and satis-faction,
closes his book and makes his way to the door. As he steps
out into the fresh evening, he reviews in his mind what he has added
to his store-house of knowledge:
"A little learning is a dangerous thing.
Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring.
I will not hear the noise.
I will concentrate."

Talent Critique Defended
The Student's Plight
The motives behind the CLAR-ION
article on Frosh Talent
night have been described as un-fair,
mean, and even un-Christian.
Strangely, the word "dishonest"
has not been used significantly in
the criticism of the article.
We admit we erred in not lay-ing
most of the blame on the
planners of the program or just
on the tradition itself. The fresh-man
class is not without talent,
but we feel it is impossible to
plan a program on such short
notice as the talent night demands.
However, although the frosh were
urged to participate, they were
not forced. There is a difference.
No amount of urging could make
the entire CLARION staff step
into the ring with Rocky Marciano.
The motive behind the article
was not meanness or lack of
Christian love (as far as we • can
evaluate our own motives) but
Dear Editor:
The kangaroo court which we
experienced Thursday evening is
a black mark against our school.
It was unpleasing to God, and a
poor example of Christian love.
(I laughed, but toward the end it
sounded hollow. I apologize, fresh-men.)
We may pass it off with, "The
party just got a little out of
hand." But this is not enough.
The party was "out of hand" be-fore
it started, because it had the
potential. Like a loaded gun; all
you have to do is pull the trigger.
The freshmen pulled the trigger.
The upperclassmen exploded.
It's easy to lay all the blame
to the freshmen. "They just were
not good sports," we say, etc. But
if the upperclassmen had not
given them opportunity, (i.e.)
(loaded the gun) this could not
have happened.
It seems to me the difficulty is
one of attitudes. The upperclass-men
say, "You're freshmen." The
freshmen respond, "So what are
you going to do about it?" The
self-correction which we feel this
campus strongly needs. The ten-dency
here seems to be to say
evaluation is wrong, at least in
theory.
If a teacher is a poor instruc-tor,
and just because a teacher is
a Christian doesn't mean he can
not be inadequate in the class-room,
we don't say anything be-cause
he is a nice guy and it may
hurt his feelings. Nothing is said
about how his students are cheat-ed.
The cultural council has seldom
received a formal criticism after
showing a poor flim, although the
film was rented with student
money.
As a start toward improvement,
we intend to evaluate the main
activities on campus throughout
the year. We assume other stu-dents
will continue to evaluate our
paper in the same way.
body of Christ is split into rival
factions. This is SIN.
Yes, this spirit will subside.
But the attitudes will remain, per-haps
to come to the fore in other
situations in life.
Is there a better way? Yes!
Many colleges have tried it.
Change "Hell Week" (We don't
call it that) to "Help Week" which
is a fine name. This is the way to
initiate freshmen. It gives them a
sense of belonging far better than
egg in the face. It creates a good
impression on the community. It
pleases the Lord. Talk it up!
Jim Dinsmore, soph.
Ed. note
What kangaroo court?
Dear Editor:
We often criticize the student
body and rightfully so. We do not,
however, often criticize the ad-ministration
and this I believe
should be done also.
One part of this should be done
in regards to the student loan
fund. The requirements for loans
are nebulous, and should be made
Worship Begins
withOrganPrelude
Our chapel service would seem
empty without the accompaniment
of the organ music. This music
has become associated in our
minds with a worship service. It
should serve to help create a rev-erent
atmosphere, which is con-ducive
to worship. We can more
easily direct our minds toward
God in such an atmosphere.
In many of our churches the
fine classical music is often neg-lected
and replaced by lighter and
in many cases less meaningful
songs. At Bethel the chapel organ-ists
often choose from the deep,
devotional music of such masters
as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven.
We are missing the benefit we
might gain from their selections
by entering and leaving the chapel
in a very noisy manner.
We awe it to the organist, the
composer, to God, and to ourselves
to come into chapel in a quiet,
orderly way.
more concrete. Because of this, it
seems that some who should be
eligible for loans are refused
them. The rate of interest is 12%
which is quite a bit above the rate
at which a school with Bethel's
assets could borrow.
The housing committee should
also come in line for some criti-cism.
Two girls were staying in
the infirmary, and at present one
is rooming with the school nurse,
contrary to the nurse's contract
with the school. Why is it that
the housiing committee accepts
more students into the dorms than
it can hold? -
One outof-state girl was prom-ised
a room in the dorm and
found she had none when she ar-rived.
This is not good advertise-ment
for our school.
The solutions to the problem
would be to accept only as many
students into the dorm as could
be housed. Then the student nurse
would not be put to such inconven-ience.
The rest of the students
should have rooms ready for them
instead of being given addresses
and told to find their own quar-ters.
Ed. Note
The finance committee is in
the process of revising loan pro-cedure,
making the requirements
more concrete and public. The
interest charged is returned to
the loan fund (which needs ex-pansion).
The attempt is made
to show no bias in granting
loans, but a personal estimate is
necessarily involved.
Regarding housing, the ad-ministration
realizes the acute-ness
of the problem. The alter-natives
were either that the stu-dent
body should be limited or
the dorms crowded until the
new facilities are finished next
year. Positive action was taken
by the housing committee to
find as many homes available
for students as possible but this
still was not enough. They are
unaware, however, that anyone
was told she was accepted into
the dorm and then refused when
she got there.
Dear Editor:
Your evaluation of Talent Night
was unjust. As for being "medio-cre,"
or having "ladies-aid" styles
of gospel songs, I cannot see what
else could be expected of such a
hurriedly put together program. I
feel the blame should be put
where it belongs and not as if it
were the freshmen's fault.
I agree Gene Thompson's solo
on the cornet was fine but due
credit must be given to the others
also.
Upperclassmen, w h o should
know better, should know when
to clap and when not to. How-ever,
if they do not set the proper
example, then the audience should
be reminded by the one in charge
of the program.
An irate Freshman,

We agree that the blame lies
with the planners of the pro-gram.
Cultural Activities
by Phyllis Anderson
Living in the city is a new experience for some students and just
the same old thing for others. Those who are new to St. Paul and
Minneapolis may not be aware of the opportunities and advantages
that we, as students, can make use of. There are many cultural acti-vities
in both cities throughout the year, and we will inform you of
the specific activities in the cultural calendar in each issue of the
CLARION.
Many activities are presented by the University of Minnesota.
The regular symphony season of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
begins November 11 at Northrup Auditorium under the conductorship
of Antal Dorati. Season tickets are available at lower rates through
the MUSIC DEPARTMENT. Of special interest to students is the Twi-light
Concert series presented on Sunday afternoons monthly with all
seats general admission at only 75 cents. The Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra, in these concerts, presents classical and semi-classical works,
giving very delightful and inexpensive entertainment. The University
Theater produces a season series of plays.
At the St. Paul auditorium this fall there will be the unusual at-traction
of the Fujiwara Opera Company, presenting on October 9
"Madame Butterfly" and on October 10 "The Mikado." The operas will
be presented in English by this Japanese company; this is the first
presentation of its kind in this area.
At present, several art exhibits are being shown in the Twin
Cities. Paintings from the Chrysler collection will be at the Minne-apolis
Institue of Art until October 9. Among these are some works
of such famous artists as Rembrandt, Van Dyck and Pavlo Veronese.
The institute is open until 10 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and from
2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.
A series of films based on nineteenth-century literary works will
be featured by the Minneapolis Institute of Art with no admission
charge (and that should be of interest to all of us) in October. October
2, Oliver Twist will be shown, October 16, Crime and Punishment, and
October 23, Les Miserables. The films will be shown at 6:30 p.m. and
8:30 p.m. on the given dates.

scored the second Bethel touch-down
from the one.
General Beadle's first touch-down
was set up by a series of end
sweeps. Kellog went around end
for the score from the seven. Their
second touchdown knotted the
count at 13 all and they tried un-successfully
to kick the extra
point. However Bethel was off
side and they ran it across on the
second try for the decisive mar-gin.
Brunzell came in at quarterback
with eight minutes to go and, on
the strength of two screen passes,
moved the team to the five where
it was stopped. Erickson sparkled
of defense as he intercepted three
passes, while Bass and Seaquist
ran most effectively for the
Royals. However it was not en-ough
as General Beadle realized
our passing game left some to be
desired and played a five-four de-fense.
Bethel had an edge on total net
yardage 221-201. Penalties cost
Bethel 35 yards to 30 for Beadle.
There were seven fumbles in the
game, Bethel made three and Bea-dle
four. The only statistics which
didn't favor the Royals were the
total points and they were all that
counted.
Coach "Fritz"
Bethel's new line coach is Lowry
"Fritz" Fredrickson. Fritz's home
town is Albert City, Iowa. It was
from this one-horse town that he
graduated from high school and
learned his football.
Fritz has covered a lot of ground
in his twenty-four years. In 1950
he entered Bethel and in 1952 he
transferred to Bunia Vista col-lege,
where he earned a Bachelor
of Arts degree in physical educa-tion
and had a mathematics minor.
During his two years with the
army he was able to visit most
of the European countries while
stationed in Germany. Rome, Ven-ice,
and Paris are just three of
the major cities he visited.
At Bethel, along with the jab
of line coach, he is a junior in the
seminary — and still single. Be-sides
being interested in football
and basketball he also enjoys
track. His past experience has been
as a student teacher in Sulfur
Springs, Iowa, where he also
coached a boys' basketball team.
He has a sister who recently at-tended
Bethel and a younger bro-ther,
age thirteen.

ugh!) ; staying up all night in
preparation for inspections.
Now he would be a civilian, a
student at Bethel college. He
would have it "made in the shade."
Sleep until noon; plenty of spend-ing
money; nothing to do but go
to classes and have fun. What a
life!
. . . It is now six days later. Joe
is sleeping in a room in the sem-inary
dorm. It's six a.m. of the
first day of classes. An alarm
clock goes off and Joe staggers
out of the upper bunk to the ac-companiment
of a bellowing room-mate
and hits the floor head first.
Dazed, he picks himself up and
heads for the washroom only to be
repelled by a tangle of limbs as
thirty-four men attempt to ap-proach
the two wash basins sim-ultaneously.
Later on, unwashed and be-whiskered,
he stands on the break-fast
line mumbling to himself,
"only two hundred yards to go".
Finally he reaches the head of the
line and stares unbelievingly at
the few crumbs on his tray. After
he downs these, he thinks longing-ly
of C-rations and wonders where
he can get some breakfast.
¶ethel Drops Opener
Bethel college dropped a 13-0
decision at the hands of Hibbing
J. C. on Saturday night, Sept. 15
at Hibbing. The game was rough-ly
played, but cleanly fought.
The Hibbing line was big and
fast, and time after time stopped
Bethel's running game short. Rea-lizing
their difficulty, the Royals
began to pass. The weather, how-ever,
was not in their favor either
as there was a mist in the air,
and the ball was too wet to handle
accurately. The result was two
completed passes in 23 attempts
for a total of 44 yards.
In the first period Hibbing
scored their first touchdown, as
Bethel was forced to kick deep in
their own territory. The punt was
blocked and Stilonivich, Hibbing
tackle, pounced on the ball in the
end zone. Kirk got Hibbing's other
touchdown in the second quarter
on a plunge from the one yard
line.
There was no score in the sec-ond
half but Bethel played a
stronger game. Offensively they
at one time pushed to the Hibbing
ten yard line before being stopped.
Defensively their game improved
and they appeared working more
as a unit. Hibbing made no ser-ious
scoring threats throughout
the half.
As he moves out of his first
class, an upperclassman accosts
him and with a sneer queries,
"Where's your beanie, freshman?"
and then procedes to pour a
stream of invective on our hap-less
veteran. Joe thinks longingly
of Sgt. Shannon's sweet voice as
he makes his way to the field-house
for football practice.
After practice he gets his cuts
and bruises patched up, has sup-per
and wearily makes his way to
his room, thinking only of a soft
warm bed and plenty of sleep.
But, alas! Books stare him in the
face, and with resignment he
starts on his studies. At 3 a.m.
he turns the last page with a sigh
and gratefully climbs into bed.
Three hours later the alarm
screeches and Joe staggers out of
the dormitory with a strange
gleam in his eye, counting cadence.
He is never seen on campus
again.
Editors note: When last seen,
the above mentioned student was
running down Snelling avenue at
great speed, singing "Yankee
Doodle," practicing bayonet drill,
and heading for the nearest U. S.
Army re-enlistment office.

On the last series of downs,
Bethel had a first down on Beadle's

Although the grid {squad is
somewhat larger than last year's,
the need for a larger squad was
demonstrated at the Hamline
scrimmage. Toward the end of
the scrimmage Hamline reeled off
long runs that would have been
stopped, had there been a fresh
platoon to field. To echo Coach

Talent Surveys
Held This Week
Each class formally began plan-ning
activities for the coming year
at the class meetings held Mon-day,
September 17.
Denny Johnson was elected
president of the freshman class.
The freshman cabinet is making
plans to survey freshman potential
from the records on file to find
out "who can do what" and "who
is willing to do it." They are also
initiating a four-year record plan.
A permanent secretary's record
book and treasurer's record book
have been purchased. In the scrap
book purchased will be placed pic-tures
and accomplishments of in-dividual
students and accomplish-ments
of the class as a whole. The
desire of the cabinet as stated by
the president is: "No matter how
the class advances in the social
realm or as a popular class or in
any other field of activity, the de-sire
of the cabinet is that the
freshman class become a real fire-ball
on campus, dedicated to the
consecration of the members of
the class to Christ."
President of the sophomore
class, Art Erickson, reports that
a hayride is being planned for
September 29. Other plans for the
fall quarter include Nik Dag,
scheduled for November 9. The
sophomore class is also sponsor-ing
prayer meetings to be held
weekly on Thursday evenings.
Junior class plans for the year
as stated by president, Gordon
McRostie, include two plays: a
one-act play to be given before
Christmas and another one in the
spring. Plans are also being dis-cussed
for the sophomore-junior
winter retreat. There are approxi-mately
fifteen junior transfer stu-dents
this year.
At the senior class meeting,
Dean Elving Anderson made
known opportunities of scholar-ships
for graduate work, and also
stated that it is the desire of the
administration to help the seniors
in any way possible to obtain the
best in vocational opportunities.
The senior class is also making
plans for various social activities
during the year to raise money
for the class gift to the school.
Plans for dorm activities are

also underway for the year. Ed-gren
and Bodien residences will
once again be competing for first
place in decorations at homecom-ing.
Both dorms are also planning
open houses for that occasion.
Mariyn Junker, president of
Bodien, is making plans for a
breakfast for off-campus girls.
This year prayer meetings will be
held at 7:00 a.m. instead of at
night. Plans are also in operation
for dorm-sponsored parties and a
"heart-sis" program for Valen-tine's
day. The goal for the year
is to "promote a spirit of unity
and Christian fellowship among
all Bethel girls."

"IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL"
A
Christian activity talent surveys
are being held this week to chan-nel
students into their most ef-fective
place of Christian service.
The surveys, the first of which
was held last night, will continue
through tomorrow evening, each
one commencing at 7 p.m. in the
college chapel. One evening each
will be devoted to vocal numbers,
instrumental selections, and speak-ing
and teaching.
As a follow-up to the surveys,
Christian service workshops will
be held in a few weeks to acquaint
the students with the best pro-cedures
and practices for such
activities, as planning programs
or giving testimonies.
Senate Discusses
Leader's Retreat
A new event, a Leadership
week-end for campus leaders, was
discussed at the first Student
Senate meeting of the year, Sep-tember
18, at 6:30 p.m. in room
3 of the college building. The pur-pose
of this get-together, as out-lined
by Dean Elving Anderson, is
to allow campus leaders a chance
to take time off and discuss policy
issues as well as techniques of
leadership. The outing will be held
at Camp St. Croix. However, no
definite arrangements have been
made. Tentative dates are the
weekend of November 3, 4.
The religious council recom-mended
that $200 be given to the
Foreign Missions fellowship to aid
them in making a large missions
map display showing the location
of former Bethel students on the
foreign mission field.
The Senate, at Jack Tierney's
suggestion, recommended that the
eating area in the dining hall be
closed off from the side-room,
and made more scenic. A regular
meeting time was also set, the next
to be held October 4.

Mr Semite and 1/011
by Al Glenn
Your college days will be just about what you make them. And
your Student Senate is responsible for a good-sized share of your
life. So, become informed!
The Senate is made up of councils which are responsible for your
co-curricular activities. There is the religious, athletic, cultural, sem-inary,
and social council. But how do they affect your life here?
Take, for example, a "social," which is a vital part of college
life. Your appointed social council chairman and, his committee are
responsible for Homecoming and other social events for the entire
student body. Smaller events are directly left to you.
Your representatives may shirk their responsibility if student in-terest
is not high. Now where do you fit in? At election time get some-body
into office who will carry out his various elected and appointed
responsibilities. After you elect the right representative, HELP your
Senator and KEEP him on his toes. Last year many students cried
about the social life on campus, but nobody did anything about it.
Don't gripe behind your representative's back. If you have something
to say, channel your gripes and suggestions through your class presi-dent
to the Senate. The administration will readily listen to Student
Senate proposals. Individually you may not be heard.
Get to know the executive cabinet and council chairmen. In class
meetings your officer should always report on Senate activity. Read
the Senate bulletin board in the library foyer.
If you will help the Senate by your active interest and sugges-tions,
you will enjoy a "terrific" school year.
