Autumn is Theme
For Semi-Formal
"Autumn on Parade" is the theme for the fall semi-formal ban-quet
Saturday night at the Biltmore Inn following the Sioux Falls game.
Dick Borstad, senior fullback for the Minnesota Gophers, will be
the speaker. Last season Dick won fame for field goals and conversions
at strategic moments in Gopher games. The M.C. will be Gene Messenger.
When asked why a fall banquet was being held preceding Home-coming
for the first time in Bethel history, Art Erickson, social council
chairman, replied, "The social council feels that there is a need for
extra fall activity. The banquet was considered particularly timely this
year because there are only three
home games."
"This is going to be a football
weekend," Bob Johnson, athletic
council chairman stated.
To emphasize the second home
football game this year there will
be a pep fest Friday night in the
fieldhouse at 9 p.m.
Buses will leave the girls' dorm
at 1:15 p.m. for the game at Ram-sey
field.
Outing At
Red Wing
Scheduled
Red Wing, Minn., will be the
scene of the All School Outing on
Saturday, October 12.
Last Friday night about 300 students gathered up their blankets and went over to the fair grounds for
a western flavored variety attraction called the "Fall Round-up". Featured in the program were skits, such
as the one pictured here, a trio, a male quartet, a guest soloist, a male choral group, several instrumental-ists
and a "wild horse". In the quartet here are Bud Malmsten, Stu Luckman, Dave Davies, and Rich Samuel-son.

council chairman, announced in a
preview of Homecoming activities.
This barbeque for students and
alumni will follow the Homecom-ing

fieldhouse.
Planned for Friday evening is a
variety show, featuring skits by
the various classes and organiza-tions.
Classes and campus organiza-tions
will compete for the awards
given for floats, skits, and pin
designs. Art encourages all the
groups to work hard on their plans
to create closer competition than
was exhibited last year when the
sophomore class won all three
awards.
The Homecoming slogan will be
chosen by the social council this
week.
During the day students will be
able to participate in such organ-ized
activities as swimming, base-ball
football, tennis, and badmin-ton.
Cars and buses will leave for
Red Wing in the morning shortly
after breakfast. Two meals will be
served in the park there.
The junior class is in charge of
planning the day which is sponsor-ed
by the social council.
More Students
Have Returned
This year there is a larger per-centage
of returning students than
at any other time, Clifford Larson,
dean of the college, stated when he
released the official college regis-tration
of 486.
Breaking down this figure into
classes, the freshmen number 185;
sophomores, 151; juniors, 69; sen-iors,
70; and unclassified, 11.
There are 269 men and 217 wo-men.
Bethel college students represent
28 states, Alaska, Canada, China,
Cuba, England, Guam, and India.
Dean Larson says that the lar-ger
percentage of returning Bethel
students indicates an increasing
holding power at Bethel.

Ede:re/tea Once Upon a Summer Evening
Chapel Has Purpose
We accept too many things too carelessly. One such thing is the
chapel hour. We fail to appreciate it and its significance to our campus
and lives because we have never examined its purpose. Why is thirty-five
minutes of our valuable time set aside from class hours every
morning ?
A number of people would say that this is the time to come to talk
with our friends, to catch up on who is going with whom, or what Ed
did last night. Some prefer to use the time to read their mail or to
write that letter home. Some, fortunately many, come to chapel to .. .
well, what do they come for ?
Chapel as we see it is set aside for those who wish to come together
for common worship of God and instruction from Him. It is planned
that through song, prayer, and speaking, our Christian lives may be
enriched to the end that we might love and serve our Saviour better.
This is the purpose; this is an hour we must be thankful for.
To make this significant, we cannot come to chapel just out of
habit, or because a friend is going, or because there isn't anything else
to do, or because it is expected we be there. We must come because we
choose and desire to worship and know Christ. If the motivation of our
attendance is elsewhere, we will fail to grasp the blessing that is there.
What will help us prepare for this service ? Perhaps announcement
of the chapel program for the week would be in order. In the past few
years, the quality of the service has increased, and attendance has also.
Granted, a few students will discriminate between speakers, but for the
many such a plan would give more meaning and expectancy to this
hour with God.
Something To Think On
by Lawrence Van Heerden
"One reason some folks don't git no whar is dat dey wo'nt goin'
no whar in de fust place!" Hambone.
There are not too many men who from their youth saw clearly the
"path" God wanted them to walk. For most Christians it is a "station
to station" affair with mistakes and struggles along the way. Many
an enthusiastic and youthful missionary visionary ends up finding God's
will in Minnesota. For some promising pastor's-to-be the trail ends up
in Timbucktoo somewhere. But this should not nullify ambition and
goals in life. No Christian ever gets anywhere without purpose and
"vision".
What are you at Bethel for? Four years of your life and $4,000
is not meant to be tampered with lightly. It ought to be a sure-fire
investment which will benefit mankind and please God. To ensure such
results we must at least have the highest of motives and some definite
goals. And even though we can't see too far ahead yet there are aspira-tions
for everyone to unveil for himself.
---,hat about the mastery of our studies in as far as we are able ?
Who of us has that broad appreciation of the other man's point of
view as well as that rock bottom depth of soul? For most of us this
would be goal enough for four years. And yet there are other objectives
which could painfully drag out the best that is in us. Emotional stability
is foreign to so many "citizens of the Kingdom". The sins of the Spirit
continue to cancel out the dubious merits of legalistic "separation from
the world". We labor or we loaf. But where is the love which can trans-form
both? Objectives! Goals! All of them! What are we dallying
around for ? What are you at Bethel for ?
"Take time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit. Bodily
fitness has a certain value, but spiritual fitness is essential,
both for this present life and for the life to come." I Tim.
4:7-8 (Phillips)
Suggestions Wanted
by Jack Tierney
Ever feel you could improve something ? I suppose we all have,
but isn't it strange that we sometimes see a situation needing improve-ment
and do nothing about it. I know it is only natural to say, "I can't
do much" and "well, my suggestion would be rather silly anyway" and
any number of other excuses. Your feelings might be, if I were like
Bob Reed or Art Erickson or Dave Shold, then I could do something;
but not little old me—I'm too insignificant.
You know what my reply will be. You know that I am going to
say you can better any situations or organizations on campus. Yes,
people like you Bob Brister or Jean Miller or you Elaine Johnson, or
Bill Browning, your ideas are wanted and needed. You may have seen
or heard of something elsewhere that could be incorporated into our
social, cultural, or athletic programs. You may have heard a speaker
that the religious, social, or cultural council could bring to campus at
a future date. Your past experience in a certain area may be extremely
beneficial to some committee. All your ideas are important to the Senate.
Last Monday we presented an opportunity for you to become ac-quainted
with the structure and operation in the Student Senate. As
you learned our responsibility is to function in your behalf. We cannot
do this effectively without your constructive criticism, your new ideas
and your enthusiastic support.
If you are not content with an improvable area of campus life and
say nothing, then only you are to blame. There would be no need for a
Senate without you. Since you are here and the Senate is here—use it.
To Whom It May Concern
We don't really need a college building. We don't really need a
landscaped campus. We don't really need a dining hall. What we need
at Bethel college is a dating bureau.
In a recent poll taken on campus, the lights in the girls' dorm were
checked at approximately 9:30; they were all on . Upon closer check
it was discovered the occupants were engaged in various stimulating
activities such as darning socks, washing nylons, and putting up hair
(where there's life there's hope).
by Lorraine Eitel
I didn't know what to wear that
evening. It had been hot all day,
it would probably be hotter in
church. Yet there were storm
clouds in the west. It would prob-ably
rain before the "sing" was
over. My dad kept yelling from
downstairs that the family was
waiting. I can't stand to have
people yell at me, especially when
it's hot. It couldn't hurt them to
wait a few minutes, teach them
patience.
I decided to wear my white
print sheath. It would fit well un-
Students Discover Life
by Bob Reed
It might be assumed that every student who is enrolled at Bethel
has a clear understanding of the aims and purposes of the liberal arts
program. The current college catalog bears out the importance of this
emphasis in the minds of those who form the academic policy.
Most new students, however, know very little about the liberal arts
program. Almost immediately they are indoctrinated. Such was the case
at Freshman Retreat this fall when a student panel discussed the sub-ject.
But this does not in any way convey the values of a liberal arts
program to the student. Only when he has discovered for himself, a
new appreciation for the fine arts, for history, and for science, can he
know the importance of a liberal education in his life.
Many students come to college feeling that the campus is a place
to prepare for living. It is far more than that — it is living. To find
that life is more than earning a living, more than filling a position at
some firm, school, or church is worth far more than the sacrifices made
by attending college. Some students make this discovery during their
freshman year. Others do not experience it until their senior year. It
is unfortunate that some never discover it at all. These students leave
college with a few tools which equip them to "do something" in life.
However, they are much the same individual as when they arrived with
their limited values and appreciations.
During this year each student can make a contribution to his own
life and his own usefulness by re-examining his values and putting
forth the effort to acquire and experience what the liberal arts can
offer.
Zetteut to de Editirt
Dear Editor,
I sure did enjoy that there af-fair

to thank those grand folks who
did such a fine job. Art, the social
council, and I suppose there were

magazine apart. Great Scott! What
a brat! It was just like any other
Sunday night.
We got there late, as usual.
They were singing "Some Golden
Daybreak" when we came in. I
don't like that song. It's pitched
too high. I always thought they
ought to have more alto solos in
church. I like to sing.
I squeezed into the back row
with all the other girls my age.
My parents sat about three rows
from the front as they always did.
I was glad I had a straight skirt
on. The other girls looked sloppy.
Their full skirts were all wrinkled
and starchless from the heat and
humidity.
The sermon was just as boring
as any other Sunday night. I be-gan
to speculate on who would
take me to the "sing." I rather
hoped Roger would. He was the
most fun, kind of wicked in a way,
although he tried not to be. I
didn't notice how dark it was get-ting
outside.
It began to rain. It rained harder
and I was glad. I would rather
listen to the rain than to Pastor
Olson. I don't know what he was
preaching on, but he had just fin-ished
saying "and Christ said to
the devil" when thunder crashed
almost on top of us and the lights
blinked out for about five seconds.
In the blue darkness Pastor Olson
looked as though he were trying
to hide behind the pulpit. Then
the lights came on again.
"Maybe that was the devil",
Pastor Olson said, referring to his
last statement. There were some
nervous giggles. I made a face to
the girl next to me. Pastor's
brand of humor never quite ap-pealed
to me.
Then it happened again. Only
this time it was different because
when the lights came back on they
were brighter. Terribly bright. In
fact it hurt my eyes and I raised
my arm to shield them. When I
moved my arms and opened my
eyes the church was empty. Well,
almost empty. There were quite a
few people sitting here and there
dazed by what had happened and
I was still there.
I had had too much Sunday
School not to realize what had
happened. It had been a golden
daybreak somewhere I guess. "As
the lightning is seen in the east."
Without my parents now I'm my
own boss. And am I ever having
a time!
I might as well enjoy this life
because it's the only one I'll ever
have.
der my raincoat and it was cool
for right now. Oh, how I hate hot
weather. Good grief!
It was just like any other Sun-day
night. My mother nagged at
me all the way to church about
being nice to people. I told her
that if she believed the golden
rule, she should stop nagging me.
Then she started to cry. What a
mess!
My brother wanted to have the
car windows open. I not too gent-ly
reminded him that I had spent
fifteen minutes combing my hair.
But he wouldn't close it until I
started to tear his Science Fiction
showed variety, originality, and
quality.
It seems to me, that if those
other councils exhibit the same
quality of programs that this coun-cil
seems to be doing, Bethel's
extra-curricular activities this year
will be second to none. Thanks
again.

Center Neil Christenson
Proves Worth To Team
One of the outstanding players of the Bethel gridders this year is
Neil Christenson freshman from Little Falls, Minnesota. Comparatively
small for college football centers (Neil confesses to "almost" 160
pounds), he has proven himself to be one of the best Royal linesmen,
playing the full sixty minutes each game.
Christenson won his biggest foot-ball
honors last year playing for
Little Falls. For his outstanding
play at center, he was selected
All-Conference in the Central-Six
League and National High School
All-American honorable mention.
Neil is undecided as to his pro-fession
after college, but his pre-sent
plans include at least two
years at Bethel. For the cause of
th,- blue and gold, here's hoping
lie will stay four.
Getting warmed up for the pep fest Friday and the game Saturday
are Barbara Chapman, Judy Hegstrom, and Terry Brown.

Following a faculty-Student Sen-ate

it was announced that the admini-stration

Since great student interest has

may soon be a reality.
Royals Hold,
Tie Northland
In 0-0 Contest
by Dennis Johnson
The Northland Lumberjacks
found that using an ax against
a stonewall availeth nothing, in
their homestand against Bethel
September 21, as the game ended
in a 0-0 tie.
The Royals, anxious to beat the
team that was victorious over
them in last season's Homecoming
game, twice threatened to move
the ball over the goal line. The
Northland eleven only succeeded
in raising their victory hopes once
in the final three remaining min-utes
of the game. With the excep-tion
of those three times, the game
was matched on slippery ground
between the 30 yard lines.
Fine running by Jim Milbery,
highlighted Bethel's offense, but
the Royals could claim only 31
net yards and four first downs.
Although Northland received seven
first downs and gained 129 net
yards, Lundin's men defensively
held firm in clinches and continued
to look good. Hard tackling Bruce
Erickson, Bob Brister, Bob Rey-nolds,
Stu Luckman, and defensive
signalman Neil Christenson de-serve
much credit for a well fought
contest.

Bethel taking over at the second
quarter.
With the Lundinmen in charge
of the ball on their own 20, Sun-deen
blasted off tackle for a 1-10.
Again hitting the left side, Bill
Humpheries, on two consecutive
plays, sprinted for two valuable
first downs. Quarterback Bruce
Erickson then finding the ball
hard to move, signaled the team
into punt formation and the ball
was booted into the end zone. Jim
Milberg caught Wahpeton for a
loss, which forced them to punt.
Neil Christenson, Bethel's ace cen-ter,
playing his best performance
of the season, blocked the kick
with his body, picked up the ball
and carried it for a T.D. The ex-tra
point was blocked.
Wahpeton received the kickoff
on their 15 and in a series of
sweeps netted 55 yards. A success-ful
pass brought the Wildcats into
the end zone.
Bethel's final six points came
after a screen pass from Erickson
to Samuelson which gave Bethel
a first down. The ball was snapped
to Erickson who pitched out to
Thomas. Thomas threw a touch-down
pass to Carl Linden giving
Bethel a 12-7 lead. The attempted
kick was blocked.
In the third quarter Wahpeton,
on an off tackle play, scored and
made the score 13-12. Their next
T.D. came following a fumble in
the Royal's backfield on their 20.
Again the Bethel pass defense
failed to hold and a T.D. pass
was thrown to give Wahpeton a
20-12 lead. The final Wildcat T.D.
was made on a fake punt, carry-ing
the ball around end for a 56
yard run. The conversion being
good made the score 27-12.

ping-pong, softball, and
possibly bowling.
A lack of capable personnel to
head a similar girl's intramural
program is stalling athletic coun-cil
plans for this purpose. If this
obstacle can be overcome, Bethel
women, long neglected in this area,
can expect such athletic activities
also.

Seniors To Present
Class Play, Nov. 2
by Lois Bradshaw
Oscar Wilde's play, "The Importance of Being Ernest", has been
selected as the senior class play to be presented on November 2.
The play, written in 1895, is a clever satirical farce-comedy based
upon absurd situations of the polite English society. As a social satire
it ridicules many solemn and revered conventions. Its flippancy is ap-parent
in Wilde's own comment that it is "a trivial comedy for series
people".
Casted entirely from the senior class, Priscilla Knapp, Pat Nichol,
Bob Reed, and Jack Tierney will play the lead roles. Supporting actors
will be Hope ,Seffens, Phyllis Anderson, John F. Anderson, Joel Stolte
and Bruce Richardson. Co-directors of the play are Barbara Carlson and
Roy Brottlund.
Les Funk is in charge of make-up, while tickets and publicity are
under the direction of Bruce Erickson. Other committees are working
on staging, lighting, and costuming.

Help Protect Truth,
Says Dr. Carlson
Sing Will Be
Held Oct. 9
The Religious council will spon-sor
an all-school singspiration
Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. in the
recreation room of the Edgren
residence, according to Richard
Swanson, president. He added that
this will be the first of many Wed-nesday
evening events throughout
the year.
Another decision of the Religious
council, made at their meeting,
Sept. 17, was to set up a mission-ary
offering budget of $5,000. This
year, unlike other years, the whole
amount will go to foreign missions.
Carroll Erickson, Christian ser-vice
chairman, reports that nine
gospel teams have been organized
with approximately ten members
on each team.
According to Roger Bear, devo-tional
chairman, prayer meetings
have been held on each floor of
both dormitories since school
started.
Other members of the Religious
council are Sylvia Jackson, secre-tary;
Glenn Ogren, vice chairman;
and Warren Nelson, F.M.F. repre-sentative.
Dr. Richard Curtis, as-sociate
professor of speech, is
adviser.
Senate Purchases
115 Watt Spotlight
Under the order of the Student
Senate, an All-spot spotlight was
recently purchased for $225.
The 115 watt spotlight which can
also be used as a flood light has
a pin-point spot adjustment with
a complete color system. Set on a
three wheel tripod the spot is ex-tremely
flexible.
The light was first put in use
by the social council in the Fall
Round-Up presented last Friday
night.
The constitution does include a
membership policy which specifies
that to qualify for membership,
individuals must attend at least
two consecutive regular meetings.
A membership card is then award-ed.
However, the executive com-mittee
again emphasized the fact
that failure to receive a member-ship
card restricts no one from all
or any meetings.
The executive committee con-cluded
that their primary interest
in planning Foreign Missions Fel-lowship
programs and activities
is to stimulate the interest and
support of the entire campus.
To Meet Soon
Three of Bethel's clubs, the Art
club, the German club, and the
Swedish club have announced plans
for coming meetings.
A new club at Bethel this year,
the Art club will hold meetings
two Tuesday nights each month.
One meeting will be a formal meet-ing
with speakers, films, and an-alysis
of various forms of art. The
other meetings will be more in-formal
and consist of visits to art
galleries or sketching trips.
Bruce Erickson, German club
president, announced that the first
meeting of the club will be a lun-cheon
after the dining hall is com-pleted.
At that meeting officers
will be installed.
The Swedish club will meet in
the new dining hall for a "coffee
clatch" sometime after October 1.
At this meeting Mrs. Ingeborg
Sjordal, instructor of Swedish and
adviser for the club, will tell of
her trip to Sweden this summer.
Later they plan to visit the Swe-dish
American Institute in Minne-apolis,
according to Bob Johnson,
president.
The presence of Christian lib-eral
arts college affords the best
security for our nation of the full
and unhindered pursuit of truth,
Dr. Edgar M. Carlson told the
Honors convocation audience this
morning.
Dr. Edgar M. Carlson
"Big Response"
Displayed At
Dramatics Club
"The response was beyond ex-pectation,"
was the way Roy Brott-lund
expressed his reaction to the
organizational meeting of the Dra-matics
club, Friday evening.
Roy, appointed by the cultural
council to organize a dramatics
club, called the club a "creative
opportunity".
At the meeting he presented the
possible opportunities open to club
members. These include working on
class plays and with gospel teams,
and sponsoring dramatics work-shops.
Purposes of the club, stated at
the meeting, are as follows:
"To acquire an appreciation for,
and an understanding of, various
types of drama.
"To seek a broader understand-ing
of human nature and emotions
through the interpretations and in-sights
of different writers.
"To provide a fellowship and an
outlet for those who wish to write,
act, direct, or in other ways par-ticipate
in the dramatic arts."
To quote Roy, "We're going to
have a great time."
Dr.
tavus
Peter,
"How
Be ?"
In explaining the difference be-tween
a Christian and a non-
Christian college, Dr. Carlson said
that the real difference is not in
ownership or support, not in the
Christian commitment of the tea-chers,
not in the Christian char-acter
of the students, and not in
the atmosphere.
Instead, he said the uniqueness
of the Christian college lies in
what it teaches — the centrality
which it gives to the word of God.
The fact about which Christian
faith is most sure, Dr. Carlson
continued, is that God in Christ
forgives sins. There is complete
freedom in the program of the
Christian college to declare the
fact that and to take it seriously
in all realms of learning, he added.
Also at the convocation the
Magnus Larson scholarship of $500
was awarded to Linden Magnuson
and that of $200 to Robert Fryk-holm.
Nils Friberg received the
Nels C. Parsons scholarship of
$100. Alla sree minary scholar-ships.
Gospel Teams
Organized At
2 Workshops
by Joy Pim
Bethel's gospel team work be-gan
with well-attended two-night
workshops, September 24 and 25,
under the leadership of Clifford
Anderson, Christian service dir-ector,
and Nels Stjernstrom, dir-ector
of public relations. The work-shops
were held in the college
chapel.
In introductory remarks, Mr.
Stjernstrom outlined the aims and
outreach of gospel team work.
Students were then classified ac-cording
to their abilities into
groups such as vocal ensembles,
instrumental ensembles, soloists,
speakers, song leaders, and read-ers.
Within these groups each stu-dent
auditioned his particular tal-ent.
Assisting with the auditions were
Mrs. Helen Blanchard, instructor in
music, Sheldon Fardig, assistant
professor of music and education,
Chris Weintz, instructor in Eng-lish,
and Mr. Stjernstrom.
According to Mr. Anderson, gos-pel
team leaders will be selected.
These leaders will organize teams
to which students will be assigned.
These teams will plan their own
programs and meet regularly for
practice.
As the requests come to Bethel
for gospel teams to go to local
churches, rural communties, or
missions, the Christian service of-fice
will make assignments to the
various teams.
Reviewing the workshop, Mr.
Anderson stated, "The opinion of
those who worked with the stu-dents
during these auditions is
that for the beginning of the
school year this is one of the best
groups they have ever seen.

"The Foreign Missions Fellowship is an organization for all Bethel
students, student wives, faculty members, and staff members," announc-ed
President Warren Nelson at the first cabinet meeting of the 1957-'58
school year.
This statement was made when the question of restricted member-ship
was raised. The executive committee expressed concern over the
fact that many students believe that Foreign Missions Fellowship is
only for those young people who are studying and preparing for service
in the mission field. Ed Tegenfeldt, treasurer, emphasized the aims of
the Foreign Mission Fellowship by referring to the constitution which
states that the purpose is "to
promote the close association of
Christian students interested in the
work of foreign missions for fel-lowship,
prayer for missions, spir-itual
encouragement, and service."
He later added: "After all, we ex-pect
every Christian to be interest- A chalk drawing workshop, stu-ed
in missionary work, and so we dent showings, and poster work
want to make it very plain that are definitely scheduled according
we wish to serve the whole school." to Jim Sheldon, president.
Carlson, president of Gus-
Adolphus college in St.
Minn., spoke on the theme
