Senate
President's
Welcome
How do things look ? Any different from the Bethel you know of
your former school days or former visits ? Some changes you will
readily notice, others are not so obvious.
To see the more obvious changes, we invite you to make your way
down below the student center to the old Bethel gym floor. You won't
recognize it! Formerly a dark dismal storage space, it is now well
lighted and has six attractively decorated rooms: a wood-panelled
faculty lounge, CLARION, Spire, and Student Senate offices, a sem-inar
room, and a music room.
Another big change on our campus concerns student enrollment.
You will soon find this out when you find yourself outside waiting in
the "chow" line. The freshman class alone totals nearly 230 students,
and all new students comprise more than half of the student body.
Bethel's growing pains are a good sign. We are looking forward to
seeing the dorm additions under construction very soon; these will be
completed next fall.
We trust that you have found Bethel the same as far as upholding
its name: the house of God.
We extend to you alumni and friends a hardy welcome and sin-cerely
hope that you find your part in this weekend of activities. May
we share together the fun and spiritual blessings of this your home-coming.

$500 Scholarship
Given By Western Auto
Western Auto career scholar-ships
which provide $500 in tui-tion
and fees each year, for two
years will be available to several
Bethel students next year, Elving
Anderson, dean of students, an-nounced
recently.
The scholarship plan is open to
male students of at least 18 years
of age who have completed two
years of college and are enrolled
in courses leading to careers in
merchandising. Each students
school program must permit him
to spend approximately 250 hours
per semester in part-time employ-ment
and he must be available for
full-time work during the summers
preceding the junior and senior
years. He must also meet the
minimum requirements of the
school, scholastically.
The selection will be based on
the applicants management poten-tial
in the field of distribution.
It is estimated that each student
will earn approximately $3,600 as
a part-time summer employee at
regular rates of pay in addition
to the scholarship. At the student's
option, a two week vacation will
be allowed each summer.
Those interested in this scholar-ship
should inquire in the student
affairs office for details.

Elaine Johnson
Named Sweetheart
Edith Elaine Johnson is the 1956
"freshman sweetheart" as a result
of the freshman election Oct. 10.
Elaine, as she is known to her
classmates, is from Poplar, Wis-consin.
She was chosen through a
process of elimination. Ten girls
were nominated by the freshman
class, and a vote was taken to
determine the highest three: El-aine,
Carolyn Henckel, and Carol
Kline.
Carolyn is from Kennewich,
Washington, and Carol is from
Forest City, Iowa. Both of these
girls extend their hearty congratu-lations
to the freshman sweet-heart,
who will be figuring prom-inently
in the Homecoming parade
tomorrow.
Sophomore Badge
Wins 1956 Contest
The sophomore class homecom-ing
badge design was selected from
entries of each of the four college
classes, in the first annual badge
contest at Bethel.
The freshman class is establish-ing
its individuality by attaching
a ribbon saying "class of 60" to
its badges.
A top secret will be revealed
tonight when the 1956 Homecom-ing
king and queen are crowned.
The coronation ceremony will be
part of a program beginning at
8 o'clock sharp in the fieldhouse.
Withholding the names of the
king and queen from the student
body and from the candidates
themselves is a first in this year's
Homecoming program. The ballot-ing
was done Monday in chapel.
Candidates for queen were Ardith
Rust and Bev Magnuson, seniors,
and Barbara Hartman and Elaine
Nelson, juniors. Bill Conrad and
Lowell Gardner, seniors, and John
Anderson and Bill MacKinney, jun-iors
were candidates for king.
Paul Berg and Dave Seaquist,

Addresses Banquet
The Rev. Gordon Johnson of Chi-cago
will give the main address at
the annual Homecoming banquet
on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 6:30 p.m.
in the fieldhouse.
There will be no charge to stu-dents
with meal tickets, but a
charge of $1.75 will be made to
all other persons attending. The
menu features turkey.
Mr. Nels Stjernstrom will act as
master of ceremonies. The pro-gram
will consist of the Alumni
welcome, greetings by king and
queen, numbers by the college
choir and introduction of the Bethel
hymn.
Edgren Defends
Decoration Record
by Karen Christensen
"Top secret is the word at Ed-gren
this week—at least as far
as Homecoming decorations go,"
says Jim Dinsmore, Ed-gren
residence president.
Winners in the competition for the
last five years, the Edgren resi-dents
are planning to chalk up
another victory this year.
Over at Bodien, however, Bev
Voldseth, who is in charge of the
decorations has enlisted the girls
in an all-out fight to win. Huge
figures and a slogan "Let's fell

co-captains of the football team,
will crown the elected royalty in
the formal coronation ceremony
which will highlight tonight's pro-gram.
Other entertainment featured
for the evening will be skits pre-sented
by each class portraying,
in some fashion, life at Bethel.
Music will be provided by the band
and the male chorus. There will
also be an introduction of the foot-ball
players.
The final event of the Homecom-ing
festivities tonight will be a
bonfire pep fest sponsored by the
freshman class. A huge bonfire
will be built outside the fieldhouse
and everyone will gather around
it joining the cheers for the Bethel
Royals.
"We are trying to make this the
best bonfire pep fest Bethel has
ever seen, and we have a very un-usual
program planned. We dare
anyone to burn the bonfire early,"
commented Denny Johnson, presi-dent
of the freshman class.
John Sword and his committee
are in charge of the program.
Royal Parade
Routed Via Larp.
Bethel's annual Homecoming
parade has been extensively re-routed
this year. Instead of just
traveling down to the Hamline
field, this year the parade will
move up Snelling to Larpenteur,
Larpenteur to Hamline, Hamline
to Como, Como to Snelling, and
Snelling down to Norton field.
In Saturday's parade, floats
from each class, from the lang-uage
clubs, and from the B-club
will compete for top honors — a
trophy which will be presented at
half time of the Homecoming foot-ball
game. These floats represent
weeks of advanced planning and
work on the part of many of the
students of each class and club.
Also, in the parade will be the
cars containing the king and
queen, the Court, the sophomore
advisor, the cheerleaders and
others.

Scialheita .forric
BATON ROUGE, LA. — (ACP)
—A couple of chuckles from the
LSU Daily Reveille:
A weather - beaten old - timer
slapped down a 20-dollar bill and
challenged any cowboy present to
recite the Lord's Prayer. The
money was matched and a man
started reciting, "Now I lay me
down to sleep, I pray the Lord
my soul to keep . . ." Then the
old-timer out him short. "You win,"
he said. "I didn't think you knew
it."
And then there is the story of
the professor at Texas Christian
University who sighted one of his
more haughty associates crossing
the campus and growled "There,
but for the grace of God, goes
God."
The same story, we might add,
has been attributed to Winston
Churchill, who made the remark
in reference to a political oppon-ent.

Campaign Lesson Republican sentiment on campus received a slight jolt last Friday
when one of the better Democrats in the state discussed the political
picture with an excuse for a politician representing the GOP.
Assuming that the applause for the clearly incompetent candidate
represents a pro-Republican attitude on campus, we apparently needed
to be shown that the GOP has glaring shortcomings and that the Demo-crats
are not without good leadership. Neither party has a monopoly on
truth and, although Slettedahl felt otherwise, neither is more God-fearing
than the other.
We must, therefore, realize that no matter how strongly we sup-port
a particular party, there are times when we should protest against
its actions or individuals.
This type of independence is also necessary in the religious sphere.
We (reluctantly to be sure) must admit that we have religious leaders
similar to Slettedahl as well as men of Eisenhower's ability and sin-cerity.
It may be even harder to admit that denominations radically
different from ours may have clergymen superior to many of our
pastors.
But when we can realize that the politicians of the party we
oppose are also gentlemen and that the non-protestant clergy are usually
men of good will, we have approached more closely to truth.
Active Mission
Interest Needed
Next week 10 missionaries are
coming to the campus. They are
not coming to give travelogues or
to exhibit their skill at picture-taking
or even to educate us in
native methods of making shell
bracelets.
And it's a good thing. We're too
busy for that.
These missionaries are coming
to help us to imagine what it's
like to a heathen. They're helping
this mental picture will push us
to go and to help others go.
But a group of missionaries
can't talk up a vision. It will come
only to those who want it, only to
those who expect God to speak,
only to those who ask.

Unplanned Program?
I entered the chapel prepared to sing a hymn and listen to some-body
or other speak. But when chapel began I discovered this was
"an hour of meditation"—a whole period of organ music.
I was immediately up-in-arms. Another unplanned program! The
least the planning committee could do was to print a list of the songs
being played or have some vocal numbers for variety, I said to my-self.
Even though other heads were bowed, I sat looking stubbornly
straight ahead.
Thoughts do come to a relatively unfull head and I began to think.
There was really nothing wrong with the program! It was I that was
"wrong." I was mentally set to criticize any meditation program be-cause
I didn't want to spend any time talking with God. Meditation
seemed to be one of my habits which was constantly growing weaker.
"Blessed is the man who sitteth . . . not in the seat of the scornful.
For his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law doth he medi-tate
day and night," from the first Psalm showed me that what I
had just realized about criticism and meditation, David had found
true thousands of years ago.
Meditation with God is a precious thing. For, as David said, the
man who meditates day and night is blessed. It isn't a ,simple matter
to discover what is keeping you from fellowship with God. In my case
it wasn't only scoffing. I was so busy with studies, extra-curricular
activities, and the opposite sex that I didn't take special time out
for meditation or even consider Him in my fleeting thoughts. Also,
I was getting to the point where I thought that I ought to tell God
what I should do in my life. My ego was so inflated that it didn't even
need a pin to break it. I knew the best way. God couldn't tell me any-thing,
therefore I didn't need to stop to talk to Him.
As I sat and thought about why I didn't want to spend time in
meditation, I realized that I was meditating. What a lesson I learned
from that "unplanned" chapel.

You Can Lead A Horse To H 2 0•.• by Betty Mattson
"You are dismissed."
By the time the last "d" of the word is uttered, 3/4 of Bethel's
student body has left the convocation and is galloping toward the
dining hall. Perhaps the speaker has been left in a state of wonder.
He probably wonders if Bethel is a high school or a college.
He has great reason to wonder. Many occasions last year, and
this year as well, have exhibited the impoliteness and juvenility of
many of Bethel's students. I do not think that we should be "forced"
to be courteous because "it's the Christian thing to do." Young people
of the age and mental capacity of our students should realize how to
conduct themselves in different situations—it's the adult thing to
do; it's part of our education.
Football and basketball games are no time to sit perfectly still
and let the band make the noise. However, there is no excuse for
anyone becoming a pest and spoiling the game for others.
A worshipful attitude -should be evident in chapel and chapel-type
convocations. The moments before the service begins might well
be spent in meditation rather than "happy chatter." Unusual convo-cations,
such as the political rally of last Friday, should be treated
as common sense would dictate. Applause, before, after, and during
the speeches would have been perfectly in order. (The speakers were
not sacred hymns.) Even if the speaker is poor, there is no excuse for
students conversing out loud or leaving in the middle of the convoca-tion.
Just because you are hungry you don't have to abruptly retreat
from the auditorium at the end of the convocation. Applause would
say thanks to the speakers for being there.
If you were at a formal concert would you act like you would at
a basketball game? Some Bethel students have. At a concert given
last year by Suzanne Bloch during the Renaissance Festival, some
of the students came into the chapel after the intermission making
noise and eating Cheerios. The dress of the evening was bobby socks,
baggy sweaters and levis when it should have been heels and suits.
Some schools even favor the wearing of furs to concerts of this type.
I don't think we have many furs on campus, but I do hope we have
well-dressed, well-behaved students.
Our Homecoming banquet is bound to test our manners. Many of
the alumni will be back watching us to see if we're better or worse
than the class of '32, '42, or '52. We will impress them. Everything
we do, our dress, our table manners, our conversation, will make evi-dent
the quality of students that Bethel will again turn out this year.
I think that a word to the wise is sufficient; sufficient for proving
that we are men and women of good taste as well as men and women
of Christian ideals.

Just a note to those who feel we have an overfed football squad.
The writer of the little tirade on the question of some extra food
should have considered a couple of things before he voiced his opinion.
First of all, the fellows hadn't eaten since ten a.m. on the day in
question. After playing four quarters of football, there was a legitimate
reason for something more than the ordinary meal of that evening.
Incidentally, the athletic department paid for the now famous roast
beef.
A second thing is that after a full day of school work, the fellows
spend something like two and one-half hours on the practice field.
This type of exertion calls for something extra. The most exercise
that the rest of us get is a walk across campus.
Whether it is feasible for some to admit or not, the fellows are
doing the school a real service. Let's give them some moral boosting
Instead of criticizing the fellows. Memo: For roast beef come out for
football.
The veterans of last year's basketball squad can well echo the
words of that old song, "Those Wedding Bells are Breaking Up That
Old Gang of Mine. tt

the second quarter a Wahpeton
punt was launched into the wind
and was driven back to the line
of scrimmage, then bounced for-ward
for a gain of six yards. As
Bethel took charge of the ball,
they lost 6 and 9 yards on succes-sive
attempted pass plays, but
gained 23 yards on an aerial from
Shold to Rekstad. However, a
fourth pass play failed to gain
the necessary first down.
Half time score, Wahpeton 2,
Bethel 0.
Bruce Erickson again foiled the
opponent's passing game as he
picked off an aerial on his own
35 yard line and raced to Wahpe-ton's
29.
Punts and fumbles character-ized
the second half. With four
minutes remaining in the game,
Wahpeton recovered the pigskin
on the Royal 13 after another punt-ing
mishap, and then swept right
end for a touchdown. The place
kick was true, giving Wahpeton
a 9-0 lead and eventually a victory.
Halftime entertainment was put
on by mother nature as tremen
dous bolts of lightning and boom-ing
thunderclaps raced about the

Royals Set
for Contest
With Northland
Leading the Bethel team in their
homecoming clash with Northland
will be four fourth year veterans.
Paul and John Berg, twin stal-warts
in the line and Ed Brunzell
and Dave Seaquist, backfield main-stays,
will round out their fourth
year of Homecoming competition.
Hank Pederson is participating in
his third homecoming clash.
Although the Royals unquestion-ably
have more player depth than
last year, they have been plagued
with injuries this past week. Rex
Warden is not in top physical
shape, and Paul Berg has an in-jured
neck that kept him out of
last week's tilt with Wahpeton
and may curtail future action as
far as he is concerned. In addi-tion,
a third regular, Jack Ny-lund,
has dropped out of school.
On the brighter side, the defen-sive
play of the team in last week's
game was encouraging. The line
played great ball. Howie Rekstad
and John Berg showed up espec-ially
well.
The backfield has been somewhat
of a question; there has been ex-cessive
fumbling and poor passing.
If, however, they play one of their
better games, our Homecoming
should be a success, as our last
year's 7-6 victory over Worthing-ton
proved to be.

Wahpeton eked out a 9-0 deci-sion
over Bethel on the Royals'
home field, October 13. Poor exe-cution
of punts by the Royals deep
in their own territory enabled Wah-peton
to engineer their lone touch-down
late in the fourth quarter.
After an exchange of the ball at
the outset of the first quarter,
Bethel, with their backs to the
end zone, attempted a punt. The
snap from center was above the
kicker's reach, and the pigskin
bounced crazily near the Royal
goal line, then was batted out
of bounds beyond the goal posts.
Wahpeton was accredited with two
points on the safety.
Both teams faced a terrific ha-zard
as they took turns facing a
strong headwind at each change
of the quarter. Midway through

He, of course, became very fam-ous

the Semate and Volt
by Al Glenn
Do you want a fall semi-formal all-school banquet? I wonder
how many students are concerned about the Student Senate. The two
go hand in hand you know. If you aren't concerned, then please don't
ask why your co-curricular life here at school is not just what you
expected. The posted minutes of the last Senate meeting report a
discontinuation of the fall banquet this year. When spring quarter
rolls around, next year, some reflective students are going to com-plain
that the social life around here has been sad. But listen, it's
your own fault!
If you don't care about the Senate, the Senate may not give you
what you want. Two years ago, the student body, led by a few con-cerned
students, demanded a fall social. The Senate reacted in favor
of student interest. "Twilight and Tinsel" established a tradition that
could be perpetuated this year. It was a unique semi-formal banquet
held just before Christmas vacation. It was a beautiful banquet, with
Dicken's "Christmas Carol" and a superb group of carolers. But no
"Twilight and Tinsel" this year. The Senate says no! What do you
say ?
What will the Senate say to this ? An adequate co-curricular pro-gram
is the result of not only individual student initiative and interest,
but effective Senate interest as well. I think lack of student interest
so far this year is mostly the Senate's fault. We do not care about
the Senate; we don't know what the Senate is or does because the
Senate has not told us! Public relations between student and Senate
has been pratically nil. This is perhaps the most trenchant criticism
of our government.
Well, if student government exists for the student, will he get
what he wants ? It sounds like nonsense when the minutes report that
the Senate is "all hopped up" about beautifying the dining hall dish
room window.
So far this year the Senate has provided an adequate co-curricular
program and has planned for an intramural program that looks like
the best yet. But after Homecoming, what next? It is a long time
between October 20 and December 14.
Smorgasbord
To acquaint Bethel students
more fully with foreign students
and their cultures, the Interna-tional
Smorgasbord dinner will be
held Saturday, November 10, at
7 p.m. in the dining hall.
Dishes typical of such countries
as India, Japan and Latin America
will be served at this Swedish-type
banquet.
The Foreign Missions fellow-ship,
which is sponsoring the din-ner,
hopes to have at least 25 for-eign
students on campus for the
occasion.
Plan Future Now
Stretch your imagination to
such a point, that you can visualize
a man, after eating a good meal,
investing the money for the next
meal in a security, because he feels
no "hunger pangs" at the mo-ment.
Students have had Life In-surance
salesman show them a
contract that created a profit at
an older age, if they only had the
quality of thrift that the contract
shown demands. Of course, depos-its
must begin immediately, and
it appears that if he is ever to
have the qualities of thrift and
a good "business head," he must
start the plan tolday. This is non-sense!
I am thinking, of course,
of the student without family res-ponsibilities.
If this is a choice
you are deciding, remember this—
that you are making the largest
investment possible to make, by
your very presence here at Bethel.
A student is investing in his fut-ure—
what could be more import-ant?
Certainly, your Life Insurance
program should be planned, just
as you plan other necessary future
expenditures. This can be done
without the loss of much time, and
without the fear of the burden of
heavy premiums, during the bal-ance
of your school term. May I
prove this to you? LEO M. LIND-BERG,
Ohio National Life Insur-ance
Company.
