Heating Plant
The installation of a new heat-ing
system for the campus, in-cluding
the building of a new
boiler room, was recently approv-ed
by the school board.
Work will be started this year
on the boiler room, which will be
built on or near the site of the
present heating plant. However,
according to Harold Lidibom, busi-ness
manager, it is not expected
to be completed by next fall with
the dormitory additions. Plans for
the building include a shop and
storeroom on the second floor.
The new boilers are designed
for a heating system adequate for
a campus twice the size of the
present one. The main boiler now
being used dates back to 1924—
the stand-by to 1905.
The central heating plant serv-ices
all the buildings on campus
with the exception of Bodien resi-dence.
Plans are now being made
for conversion from oil to gas
heating in that dormitory.
LEAN RIGHT! Jack Tierney brings a toboggan-load of upperclassmen
down the run. In spite of falling snow about 20 students left Saturday
morning for the upperclass outing at Snail Lake camp. The day of
out- and indoor activities, including toboganning, skating and hockey,
ping pong, and listening to hi-fi records ended with an evening pro-gram,
which included a monologue by Dr. Paul Grabill.
Founders Week
Begins Monday
Mystery Surrounds
Valentine Formal
With the curtain going up at 8
o'clock, great mystery surrounds
the Valentine Variety semi-formal
to be held this Friday evening,
Feb. 8, in the banquet roam of the
St. Paul's Evangelical and Re-formed
church.
The only information that has
been disclosed by a social council
representative is that the program
will include music . . . "from
Chopin to Rogers and Hammer-stein,"
drama, ". . . a little bit of
Shakespeare," and humor. "Just
about anything might happen,"
says Jack Tierney, social council
chairman. Refreshments, which are
also included, will be served im-
Several amendments to the con-stitution
of the Bethel Student
association will be presented to
the Student Senate Thursday, Feb-ruary
7, by the constitution re-vision
committee.
These amendments, which will
"bring the obsolete constitution up
to date" according to President
Glenn Ogren, will reduce the size
of the Senate from 17 to 14 mem-bers.
If the amendments are ratified
by a two-thirds vote of the Sen-ate,
they will be presented to the
student association (entire student
body) probably during the latter
part of February. A two-thirds
vote of the student association is
necessary for the amendments to
be adopted.
Under the revisions the finan-cial
secretary will be an appointee
to the religious council of being
an elected member of the Student
Senate. This change is being made
because the only duty of the finan-cial
secretary has been the collec-tion
and disbursement of student
offerings.
Because of an overlap in class
representatives, the presidents of
the dormitory councils will also be
removed from the Student Senate.
However, the NSA coordinator
will be added as a member of the
Senate. For the past three years
the NSA coordinator has partici-pated
in the meetings but not as a
constitutional member of the Sen-ate.
The adoption of by-laws by a
two-thirds vote of the Senate in-stead
of a majority vote of the stu-dent
association will be proposed
mediately following the two hour
production.
A program of this type has been
sponsored by the social council for
the past two years. Committees
for this year's program include
decorations, Barbara Hartman and
Carol Martinson; tickets and re-freshments,
Lynn Weaver and
Richard Swanson; and publicity,
Carolyn Henkel.
The social council wishes to
stress the fact that no corsages
will be allowed. This measure is
being instituted to help eliminate
the individua.i cosi, su chat all will
be able to attend. Tickets are now
on sale at $1.25 per person.
as a revision to the by-laws. Presi-dent
Ogren said that this change
is being made because the by-laws
are rules of regulation of the Sen-ate
and councils — they do not
regulate the student association.
On record, the last revision of
the constitution was made in 1953.
For three years the present revis-ions
have been formulated.
The constitution revision com-mittee
consists of Glenn Ogren,
president of the Student Senate;
Robert Erickson, seminary coun-cil
representative; John Berg, sen-ior
class president; Gordon Mc-
Rostie, junior class president; Art
Erickson, sophomore class presi-dent;
and Dennis Johnson, fresh-man
class president.
Debaters Attend
Fargo Tournament
Lois Larson, Lynn Weaver,
Karen Christensen, and Sharon
Bergstrom will be traveling by
train to Fargo, No. Dak., Thurs-day
night, as Bethel's debate rep-resentatives
at the Red River Val-ley
Invitational, a major tourna-ment
of the season.
The girls will participate in six
rounds of debate before returning
Saturday afternoon.
Entered in the tournament are
colleges and universities from the
five-state area: Minnesota, Wis-consin,
South Dakota, North Da-kota,
and Iowa.
Coach Lee Kingsley will act as
one of the judges at the meet.
The next major tournament for
the debate team is scheduled for
Feb. 15 and 16, at Eau Claire, Wis-consin.
Attendance at Founders Week
beginning Monday is expected to
equal last year's registration of
637, representing 25 states and
nine denominations. Widely trav-elled
and experienced speakers will
highlight the week's meetings.
"The Christian Life in Prac-
Former Dean
Speaks Here
by Terry Benz
One of the speakers during
Founders Week this year will be
C. E. Carlson, an oft heard name
to many students and faculty mem-bers
at Bethel.
Dr. Carlson spent twenty-seven
years at Bethel, as teacher of var-ious
subjects, chairman of the his-tory
department and, during the
latter years, dean of the college.
Dr. Carlson was dean in 1946 when
Bethel changed from a junior col-lege
to a senior college and it was
under his leadership that the pro-gram
was set up which exists at
present.
While an instructor at Bethel,
Dr. Carlson so sought to interest
his students in public life that
when he was offered his present
position, he felt it a challenge he
had to accept. Therefore, in 1953,
he left Bethel and became execu-tive
secretary of the Baptist Joint
committee on Social Affairs in
Washington, D.C.
During Founders Week, Dr.
Carlson will be bringing reports
of his observations in Washington
and will discuss what he feels
Christians should be concerned
with in public affairs.
Choir To Give
Three Concerts
Bethel college choir will present
two pre-tour concerts. The first
will be at Powderhorn Park Bap-tist
church on Feb. 17 at 3 p.m.
where they will be participating
in the dedication service.
On Feb. 24 the choir will sing
at Temple Baptist church at 7 p.m.
They will also be singing in
chapel on Feb. 22.
tice" is the theme of Bethel's 15th
Founder's Week, Feb. 11-15. Major
meetings of the week will explore
the relationship between a commit-ment
to Jesus Christ and the ex-periences
of daily life.
Rev. Eugene Nida, Ph.D., who
will be speaking Tuesday and
Wednesday, is one of America's
foremost linguists. Under the
American Bible society he has
travelled to more than 50 countries
to work with translators on lin-guistic
problems of over 150 dif-ferent
languages. He has also
written several books.
The banquet speaker, Dr. Theo-dore
Anderson, is president of the
Evangelical Mission Covenant
church of America. He has visited
Europe, Africa, South America,
Japan, Alaska, Canada, and other
parts of the world.
Dr. Merrill C. Tenney, profes-sor
of Bible and theology and
dean of the graduate school at
Wheaton college, has written sev-eral
books dealing with the New
Testament. He will speak each
morning from nine to ten.
Other speakers will be C. E.
Carlson, executive secretary of the
Baptist Joint Committee on Pub-lic
Affairs in Washington and for-mer
dean of Bethel college, and
Rev. Roger Fredrickson, pastor of
the First Baptist church in Ot-towa,
Kansas, and president of
Ottawa college.
Services will take the form of
workshops, Bible studies, open
forums and inspirational sessions.
The banquet and basketball game
will be highlights of the week's
program.
Classes regularly meeting~ iii tine
rooms off the chapel will be mov-ed
during the week. These changes
will be posted on the bulletin
board in the college building.
Because the times of the meet-ings
do not correlate with the class
schedules, President Lundquist has
requested that students attending
the sessions use the side rooms to
avoid disturbance when leaving for
class.
For a number of years Founder's
Day was observed with a program
of music and addresses usually
on the birthday of the founder,
Dr. John Alexis Edgren, February
20. Beginning 1943 a whole week
was set aside with sessions in
the forenoon, afternoon, and even-ing
as a Pastors' conference.
First Deadline
Met By Spire
The Spire met their first dead-line
on Jan. 26 when the first two
sections of the book were sent to
the printer.
"Our main problem," says Viv-ian
Johnson, co-editor of the Spire,
"is getting pictures. This is espec-ially
so in getting them from the
seminary. We make every effort;
yet less than half have had pic-tures
taken, which is a very poor
representation. We don't know
what the trouble is—maybe just a
lack of interest."
Positions on the Spire staff are
open to anyone interested in work-ing
on it. Any suggestions stu-dents
would care to make will be
considered by the editors.
Final copy of the yearbook will
go to press on March 15, and dis-tribution
of the SPIRE will be in
the latter part of May.

the CLARION
Tuesday, February 5, 1957
•Cultural Council Praised
Dear Editor:
Students often remark that at
Bethel we are sheltered from the
world and, consequently, become
complacent in our particular way
of life. The Cultural council has
brought us a program by which we
can look through a window at the
people "in the world."
We were shocked, for example,
by what we saw in "All the King's
Men", and many complained. Ap-parently,
they failed to see the
significance of the film. It was
meant to be shocking. Yet we
know that this is the way of life
for many people.
Drinking, crime, and violence
grow out of the evil of men's
Edito"dal
To Go Or Not To Go
That's Not The Question
If the CLARION were to ask each student on campus, "Do you
think it is wrong to go to movies?" no doubt the answers would vary
from a positive "yes!" to an equally definite "no!" And the reasons
would vary just as significantly.
The CLARION editorial staff certainly does not wish to take a
stand on the ultimate answer to this question, since it is a matter for
each individual to decide for himself. But we would like to point out
a few false generalizations which often govern our decisions on this
and similar questions.
First of all we (put us on the top of the list) evaluate without any
actual knowledge of the subject. We would not be apt to accept the
judgment of a person on a book if he had never read it. We hope we
would not accept the judgment of a man who had never fished when
we buy our tackle. But we accept our own evaluations which are based
on similar grounds. Many who have never seen a Hollywood movie
insist such films are bad. To move into a less controversial field, most
of us prejudged "Macbeth" before we read it in high school, and who
of us was (or is) not a little dubious about going to a "long haired"
up-era for the first time?
Another easy way for us to evaluate falsely is to categorize general
areas as good or bad. In some areas we have got beyond this point;
we don't say all books are bad because one is. But we tend to think
that because one Irishman is hot tempered, they all are. We tend to
think that because one Broadway production is bad they all are. It is as
absurd to say that all movies or Broadway productions or all books
are bad as it is to say that all preachers (even in other conferences)
are great.
We probably will never succeed in eliminating these faults entirely
from the CLARION or from ourselves. But when we know we have
the weakness, we are better off than before.
Make Us Into Students
by Astrid Barbins
What is wrong with our educational system? Too often we are
lingering in the halls bored or nervous. Before exams, we are scared
that the facts catalogued the night before will escape; after tests, we
are even more worried because we had not studied the right things. We
cram list after list of names and numbers, but they are only labels
that are copied out of books—they are dead and dull and soon forgotten.
I don't mean that we should discard important facts, since they
are a basis for broader knowledge, but I do think that instructors
should take more time to teach us principles and ideas that are in-corporated
in these facts in such a way that they would make sense.
Instead of telling us names which we like copycats repeat, we should
be given ideas to cope with. If this were true, perhaps more people
would turn from pupils into independent, self-propelled students who
desire to plunge into the deep seas of knowledge. There is so much
hidden in the depth—why should we be satisfied with the scum on the
surface?
Then there are educators who with their understanding, love, and
patience have showed us a way to a more adventurous and exciting
life, lifting us when we have been tempted to stop the pursuit. We like
to be in their presence because they add something to our lives that
soon becomes a part of us.
"Eyes rekindling, and prayers
Follow your steps as you go.
Ye fill up the gaps in our files,
Strengthen the wavering line,
Stablish, continue our march,
ON to the bound of the waste,
On, to the City of God."
Knowing Good and Evil
The following article appeared as a meditation in the Nov. 30
issue of the "Gustavian Weekly."
What should man be allowed to read ? What should man be allowed
to write? The spiritual and temporal authorities have been concerned
with these two questions down through the ages.
Perhaps then, this faction on our campus that rears its head and
cries, "Vanity, vanity, all is vanity," has a basis for its complaint. Con-sider,
this faction would say, these fools, who not only go to school
to learn but also make use of their knowledge! Do they not know that
people cannot study Socrates without that inevitable question: "Was
Socrates a Christian?" And if he is found lacking, of course he has
nothing for them.
Portions of Chaucer are "replete with vulgarity." Should these
pure youth be subjected to the ways of the world, torn from their
cloister, forcibly evicted from their ivory tower?
We should be thankful for this faction. They have been subjected
to this process called education and have triumphed! Nothing has rubbed
off.
A sober second thought, however, might lead us to ask: How strong
is their God? Is theirs a living and growing faith?
John Milton, in his plea for the liberty of printing, quotes Paul
as saying: "Read any books whatever come to the hands, for thou are
sufficient both to judge a right and to examine each matter."
Milton asserts that through the eating of the forbidden fruit, man
gained a knowledge of good and evil. "And perhaps this is that doom
which Adam fell into of knowing good and evil, that is to say of
knowing good by evil."
To the pure all things are pure.—Titus 1:15
From Sea To Seminary
One hundred and five years ago in Karlstad, Sweden, a ten-year-old
boy longed to leave his catechism and Latin and German grammars
and go off to sea. Sixteen years later he eagerly left his ship to go
back to school—this time to Princeton Seminary. That boy was John
Alexis Edgren, founder of Bethel.
Mr. Edgren's naval career from the day he embarked at the age
of 13 on the waiter-logged boat where he served as ship's cook until
the day he resigned from command of a Union ship at the end of the
Civil War reads like an adventure story. At Malta he was marooned
and robbed but later found another Swedish ship. At Alexandria he
was threatened with daggers by Egyptians who did not understand
the curiosity of a boy who tried to see behind a woman's veil. He was
rescued by an Arab, who not only spoke Swedish, but served him
coffee. Near Cape Horn the sails of his ship were blown to bits, yet
the crippled ship safely reached harbor.
Memories of early religious training, the reading of a tract, the
apparently co-incidental meeting of former Christian friends in New
York, and a service in the floating Bethel chapel in the East River
were significant factors in showing Alexis that God was persistently
following him. At 17 he stopped running away from Him and made
the promise which later caused him to leave the navy to preach the
gospel in Sweden and America. Sensing the need for a place for Scan-dinanvian
ministers to receive training he founded a seminary at the
University of Chicago. To that date in 1871 we trace the beginning of
Bethel. Mr. Edgren's studies at Princeton seminary, Colgate univer-sity
at Hamilton, New York, and the University of Chicago from which
he received his degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1883, as well as his
experience in teaching at Bethel Baptist seminary in Stockholm had
prepared him well for his career as an educator.
During his busy life as pastor and teacher Dr. Edgren. wrote 20
theological books besides publishing a monthly magazine for many
years. Among his literary contributions is also his translation of the
Swedish New Testament from the Greek which, though unfinished,
remains valuable to theologians. Since Dr. Edgren had learned 32 lan-guages,
he was uniquely fitted for this task.
The Edgren residence on campus reminds us of his contribution
to our school. In the library we have the books he wrote as well as his
biography. Perhaps more important legacies are his fundamental prin-ciples
which are emphasized here—the importance of Bible knowledge
and spiritual development. ,Still another facet of John Alexis Edgren's
influence is reflected in the friendly relationships between faculty and
student which we enjoy here at Bethel. If Dr. Edgren could visit us
today it is certain that he would enjoy the Coffee Shop.
Most girls would rather be beau-tiful
than brainy because most
men can see better than think.
hearts. We should be mature en-ough
to try to understand and to
help. Instead we fold our hands
and sing "Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly . . ."
When a doctor sees ill people, he
gives them medicine. It would be
cruel if he closed his eyes and
pretended they weren't there. Yet,
that is exactly what we do; is it
because our bags are empty and
we have no cure?
Bouquets to the cultural coun-cil
for helping us realize we are
not living only to have a good
time but to battle as strong and
equipped people.
Sincerely,
A sophomore
Emancipation
Proclamation
by Paul Schlueter
Almost any night in the Bodien
residence a discussion starts rela-tive
to the merits of the dorm's
rules and restrictions concerning
the inmates. Well, girls, cheer up.
It can't last forever. Back in 1945
and '46, when the postwar influx
of students hit Bethel's campus,
there were some pretty tough
rules concerning the behavior of
the men . . . and they were sur-prisingly
similar to those the girls
have to bow down to now. Give a
listen . . .
1. Students, if leaving the cam-pus
for the weekend, must register
the time of leaving, the destina-tion
and the time of return.
2. It is expected that the dormi-tory
residents should be in at 11
p.m. on week nights and at 11:30
on Saturday and Sunday nights.
3. Dormitory doors will be lock-ed
at 11:00 p.m. en week nights
and at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday and
Sunday nights.
4. 12:30 midnight is the very
latest hour permitted and dormi-tory
residents are expected not to
exceed the limit of one late permit
weekly, including Sunday. (Excep-tions
to this ruling can be made
by student pastors in conference
with the supervisors.)
Getting To Know
More Of Yourself
In answer to the current in-adequate
co-curricular program a
new club recently appeared on
campus. Plumperella is the thin
students answer to the weight con-trol
problem.
A group- of- slender students
who had complained they couldn't
gain weight banded together to
give each other moral support.
Nurse, Marion Reimer, recorded
the weight of each member on
January 28. Whoever gains the
most pounds by April I will re-ceive
a prize contributed by the
club.
Present membership includes
Lorraine Eitel, Steve Holm, Lois
Larson, Betty Mattson, Jim Nel-son
and Wayne Nelson. At pre-sent
Betty Mattson is ahead, gain-ing
three pounds in two days.
Wayne Nelson was running a close
second. Weighing before he went
to bed, he had gained five pounds
in one day. When he got up the
next morning he had lost six
pounds. Comment: "I shouldn't
have gone to bed!"
Anyone else who wants his
weight and will power boosted
should see Marion Reimer. Just
weigh in and pay your dues—$1.

Girls Team Royals Trip Luther
Tops Bethesda
The Bethel girls' basketball team
won its second straight contest
last Thursday evening as they
topped the Bethesda School of
Nursing 25-11 on Bethel's home
court.
Paced by such players as Mar-ilyn
Junker, who was high scorer,
Barbara Gibson, and Patty San-ders
an offense: and Ruth Irons,
Bobbie Wall, and Annette Bur-gess
on defense, the team rolled
to a halftime lead of 18-8.
In the second half, the scoring
slowed down as the Royals held
the nurses to three paints.
Bethel forwards Barbara Gib-son,
Nancy Russell, and Marilyn

Westin's Bucket
Wins For Bethel
A fieldgoal by center Glen Wes-tin
with eight seconds to go gave
Bethel the margin of victory over
the Northwestern Eagles at North-western
Jan. 22. With two seconds
to go, Bethel tied up the ball to
assure them of the victory.
Bethel did not 'almost throw
the game away' even though they
held ten point leads several times,
and were comfortable ahead most
of the first half. They gained the
lead because of some torrid shoot-ing,
particularly by Pommerenke
who hit 70 per cent in the half.
Gunderson was hot for Northwest-ern
and kept the game from being
a runaway.
In the second half, Jim Martin,
who is deceptively fast, led the
Eagles Back into the game. They
tied the game up several times,
but never could take the lead.
Bethel cooled off considerably in
their shooting game, but North-western,
outside of Martin, was no
better.

kit. Teams Compete
For Annual Award
A yearly point system for in-tramural
sports has been arrang-ed.
Eight teams are competing for
the highest total pointage. Team
sports such as volleyball, basket-ball,
and softball can accumulate
ten points for the first place win-ner
and seven, five or three points
for second, third, and fourth place
winners. First, second, and third
place winners in individual sports
such as ping pong, badminton,
and handball (both singles and
doubles) can gain five, three, and
one points, respectively.
The team that will have accumu-lated
the greatest total pointage
at the end of the year will have
their name engraved on a trophy,
designating them as intramural
champions for the year. Each
member of the championship team
will receive a medal.
Bemidji Tips
Bethel 70-66
The Royals, in one of their bet-ter
games this year, dropped a
tough game to the Bemidji state
teachers' club 70-66, Friday Jan.
25, in the fieldhouse. Although
they never led, and were slow in
starting, they played very well
against a stronger team.
Bemidji's attack was spearhead-ed
by Seroon, Lawrence, and Don
Otness. But they also had strong
bench so they could substitute
with no great worry.
Pommerenke, Conrad, and Wes-tin
led the Royal's scoring with
21, 17, and 14 points respectively.
Although the guards did score very
well, the game pretty well proved
that the big boys under the boards
have to hit to win. But Bemidji's
defense was tough on the inside
and the ball couldn't be worked
in for the close shots.

ed home to a 90-62 victory last
Wednesday, on Bethel's home floor.
After taking the lead 8-6, in the
early minutes of the game, the
Royals scored 25 straight points,
and led 37-11 when the first string
left the game.
It was a dull contest except for
an occasional bit of humor which
the players supplied. Pautsch, who
was high point man for Luther,
improved his game with an occa-sional
hog call, which once seemed
to startle Rekstad quite a little.
Don Becker was high point man
on the floor with 15 points, while
Westin hit 11 and Bons and Pom-merenke
each scored 10.
In some respects it was a good
game since it gave Coach Peterson
a chance to use players that will
be figuring in next year's plans.
Thirteen Bethel men broke into
the scoring column, and the sec-ond
stringers scored more than
half the points.
Bethel's next home game is with
Northern Michigan tomorrow
night, and next Thursday after-noon,
Northwestern comes over to
try to even the annual inter-city
series.
Dr. Ben-Dor showed slides of scrolls.

Ben-Dor Discusses Scrolls
The Dead Sea scrolls, 1000 years
older than previously existing
manuscripts, do not change Bible
ideas at all, Dr. Immanuel Ben-
Dor told a Bethel convocation au-dience
on Thursday.
Ben-Dor, deputy director of the
Department of Antiquities for the
state of Israel and visiting lectur-er
at Harvard University, said
that the 1947 find has turned out
to contain twelve complete books
and fragments of about 400. Per-haps
the most exciting part of the
treasure, the speaker felt, is a
complete text of the book of Isa-iah,
although parts of every Old
Testament book except Esther are
included.
"Finding these scrolls is a mod-ern-
day miracle," was Ben-Dor's
preface to his description of the
find.
In addition to the Old Testa-ment
portions, the writings in-clude,
he said, commentaries,
works of which only translations
have been known previously, and
some new works. Among the lat-ter
he spoke especially of the
"Manual of Discipline" used by the
Essenes, a pre-Christitan group
with many customs similar to
those of John the Baptist's and
Christ's followers.
"These Essenes," he told the
audience, "gave up their personal
property and went into the wilder-ness
to prepare for the coming of
the Messiah." Apparently to save
their precious manuscripts, arch-eologists
have concluded, they hid
the scrolls in clay jars in almost
inaccessible caves.
Ben-Dor explained that the date
of the manuscripts was determined
by coins found in the elaborate
hide-out apparently used by the
Essenes about the time of the fall
of Jerusalem. The early date-69
A.D.—accounts, the speaker rea-soned,
for the fact that there is
no reference to Christianity in
the writings.
Concluding the comments on his
slides of the discovery, Ben-Dor
commended the cooperation of
scholars of several faiths and
countries in the work of interpret-ing
the manuscripts. He expressed,
in the words of one of the new-found
Pslams, a hope for a world
in which there are no "nations who
hate justice."

volleyball, basketball, ping
pong, a game entitled "lie down,"
devotions, and food.
Chaperones were Mr. and. Mrs.
Lynn Lundin and Dr. Bass, fresh-man
adviser. The freshmen women
were in charge of games for the
event, while the men planned the

Paintings of
Cyrus Running
Are Displayed
During the month of February,
the paintings of Cyrus Running,
chairman of the art department of
Concordia college at Moorhead,
Minnesota, will be displayed in the
student center.
Mr. Running was born in 1913
in Veblen, South Dakota, but he
was reared in Montana, Idaho, and
Minnesota. He studied at St. Olaf
college, Yale School of Fine Arts,
Iowa State university, Instituto
Allende of Mexico, and with Philip
Guston of the University of Min-nesota.
Previous to obtaining his posi-tion
at Concordia college in 1940,
Mr. Running taught in a high
school at Orfordville, Wisconsin,
and at the University of Omaha.
Before utilizing his talents as an
art instructor, Mr. Running work-ed
as a farm hand, professional
waiter, sign painter, and interior
decorator.
The art display in the student
center during December and Janu-ary
consisted of the work of an-other
Minnesota artist, Charles
Beck of Fergus Falls.

More Parking
Area Needed
Students voted four to one in
a recent survey in favor of the
college renting part of the fair
grounds for additional parking
space. Many students have been
parking in illegal areas since pre-sent
parking facilities have not
been adequate enough for the ap-proximately
300 registered cars
on campus.
Some of the students in favor of
renting the fair grounds felt that
it would be the Christian thing
to do since students would no
longer have to irritate school nei-ghbors
by parking in front of their
homes. Others said they thought
it was a good idea but expressed
doubt that many students would
park in the fair grounds. Some
students stated that although they
thought the idea was all right,
they would rather park in the
street.
Students who opposed renting
the fair grounds felt that it was
either unnecessary or that it
would cost more than it would be
worth.
