to be held at the Urbana
campus of the University of Illi-nois
Dec. 27-31.

fee.
A daily message on the Biblical
basis of the theme will be given
by Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse,
noted radio and television Bible
expositor and pastor of Philadel-phia's
Tenth Presbyterian church.
THE WORLD SITUATION to-day

be analyzed by Dr. Harold J.
Ockenga, pastor of Park Street
...hurch, Easton, and widely-travel-ed
lecturer and missionary speaker.
Dr. Billy Graham, international
evangelist, will speak two even-ings,
discussing the Church as the

at the International Chris-tian
university of Tokyo, will
speak twice on taking the Gospel
to all the world and on the im-portance

The world spread of the Gospel
and the establishment of the
Church will be discussed by Dr.
Kenneth Strachan, director of the
Latin America Mission, and by
Rev. Israel Garcia of Costa Rica.
In addition to the messages,
there will be discussion groups
directed by more than 200 mission-ary
leaders from many boards, and
opportunities to meet with Chris-tian
international students and see
missionary films and displays.
Inter-faith
Scheduled
An inter-faith seminary convo-cation
featuring a Jewish, a Ro-man
Catholic, and a Protestant
speaker is being planned by the
seminary middlemen.
The speakers will answer ques-tions
during a discussion period.
Dr. Anton Pearson and middle-men
Warren Nelson and John
Swanson are planning the convo-cation.
Two seminary professors will be
speaking at a pastor's conference
in Alpine, Cal., Jan. 6-8.

and Anton Pearson, profes-sor
of Old Testament language
and literature.
Gordon Olson, seminary senior,
was elected chairman of the theo-logical
discussion group.

Nancy Russell, sophomores, and
Juanita Dwyer and Virginia Weis-pfenning,
freshmen. The Sno Prin-cess
will be elected by vote of the
entire student body.
Scheduled for this year's Sno

Convo
for Sem.
The group, tentatively planning
to meet during the noon hour once
or twice a month will meet soon
after Christmas vacation, according
to Gordon.
Money Is Needed
"We appeal to your consciences.
"Sixteen Bethel men did not pay
for tickets to the fall banquet.
"As the result, the social coun-cil
lost $96 unnecessarily by spon-soring
the fall banquet.
"This loss severely handicaps
the social council in functioning
properly.
"Any of the sixteen who wish
to pay now should put the money
in Box 428.
"Thank you."
The Social Council
Assistant professor of political
science, Walfred H. Peterson, will
be granted his Ph. D. in political
science at the commencement ex-ercises
onight at the University
of Minnesota
Mr. Peterson's thesis, "The For-eign
Policy and Foreign Policy
Theory of the American Socialist
Party, 1901-1920", supports the
idea that, "except the 1917 anti-war
proclamation, foreign policy deci-sions
did not play a controlling
part in Socialist history, but for-eign
policy decisions did reflect
the basic problem the party faced
of being opposed to bourgeois so-ciety
and yet being a political
party within that society."
AFTER SPENDING two years at
Bethel junior college, Mr. Peterson
transferred to the University of
Minnesota where he received his
B.A. in 1947 and his M.A. in 1949.
From 1949 to 1950 he attended the
University of Washington where
he began work for his Ph.D.
Mr. Peterson began teaching
here in 1947. After leaving for his
year of study in Washington, he
returned to the Bethel faculty and
to the University of Minnesota in
1950.
SPECIALIZED research in British
government was the basis for his
M.A. degree. His minor in his
graduate work was economics.
While at the University of Minn-esota.
he was elected to the Phi
Beta Kappa scholarship society.
Casts have been selected for two
of the three one act plays to be
presented Jan. 15 in the college
chapel at 7:30 p.m.
The all male cast for "Among
Thieves" includes: Conrad Woodall,
freshman, as the captain; Fred
Olson, freshman, as the soldier;
Glenn Nymark, freshman, as the
lieutenant; Jack McNutt, sopho-more,
as the boy; Les Funk, senior,
as the preacher, and Roy Brott-lund,
seminary middleman, as the
prisoner.
" 'AMONG THIEVES' has hum-orous
parts along with philosophi-cal
undertones about peace," stu-dent
director, Les Funk, explained.
The plot of the play centers
At Bethel, in addition to teaching
political science and economics, he
is advisor to the student senate
and the discussion club. Until this
year he was supervisor of Edgren
residence.
In commenting on his thesis,
Mr. Peterson said that it is "nice
to be done," but that he anticipates
more work.
Work Becoming
Hard to Find
"Part time work is tightening
up," announced Clifford V. Ander-son,
assistant dean of students.
Statistics released by the Min-nesota
Department of Employment
Security report that St. Paul un-employment
increased from 5,700
in October to 7,300 in November.
At this time last year there were
4,500 unemployed.
"Don't plan on working part
time unless you must," Dean An-derson
advised, "and if you have
a job at the present time, keep it."
He added that those who do not
have work and need it should plan
to spend extra hours in search for
a. job. Even then there is a great
possibility that adequate employ-ment
will not be found.
"We will be happy to discuss
these problems with the stildpritc,"
Dean Anderson said.
around a guerilla attempt to over-throw
a foreign invader.
As this play by Helen Clark is
a "timeless play" the costuming
will be modern.
IAN PATTERSON will take the
part of Private K. Dowey of the
Black Watch, the only male char-acter
in "The Old Lady Shows
Her Medals" by James Barrie.
Tentatively the roles of the three
charwomen will be filled by Sylvia
Benson, sophomore, as Mrs. Dow-ey;
Donna Green, freshman, as
Mrs. Haggerty; and Jeane Brew-ster,
sophomore, as Mrs. Tully.
The scene of the play is the
basement apartment of a London
charwomen, Mrs. Dowey.
"Life begins for Mrs. Dowey
when he 'son' comes home from
the war front for a visit," Joy
Pim, student director, said about
the play.
"SUNDAY COSTS Five Pesos"
by Josephina Niggli is the third
play to be presented. This play
will replace "Overtones," which
previously was announced as the
third play.
"This is a comedy showing how
involved things can get when two
people in love misunderstand each
other."
The play takes place in Four
Cornstalks, a town in northern
Mexico. The name of play is de-rived
from a law requiring a fine
of five pesos for fighting on Sun-day.
There are five characters in the
play, four women and one man.
Congratulations are expressed by Dr. Fagerstrom, chairman of the
history department, to Mr. Walfrid Peterson who will receive his Ph.D.
degree tonight.

Gifts Arise From Concern
One peculiarity about Christmas that deserves reflection is that
instead of observing the birth date of a great man, we think of the
child of Christmas. When we commemorate Washington's or Lincoln's
birthday we remember stalwart men who led their country in crucial
times. More often than not at Christmas we envision a poor baby
hovered over by a peasant woman.
JESUS, THE GOD-MAN, that we look down on as a child, al-though
miraculous and glorious in His birth, is no longer a baby, but
the risen Christ, more concerned about our gifts to Him than seeing
that we get what we want for presents.
Unfortunately, Bethel does not have a very enhtusiastic community
spirit. We give money to foreign missions, but activities supporting civic
projects and aiding worthy public needs are almost neglected. Advocat-ing
the philosophy that Christians should love their fellow men, we
are not showing the concern that we profess. Our resources are limit-ed,
but so are those of other students who carry out social projects
in other schools.
TIME DOES NOT permit us to do anything together now, but
we propose that in the spirit of Christian care, that each student
should do something for his community this Christmas. It might seem
old fashioned to give food baskets to poor families or toys to under
privileged children, but Christ did recommend it.
The Man whose birthday we celebrate will be thankful that we
thought of the least of His brothers too.
Three Voices Excite Danger
In Our Sputnik-Struck Land
I Resolve To Resolve
When the clock strikes twelve,
midnight, and 1957 is gone, pan-demonium
breaks loose in every
city and hamlet. As usual, the old
year turned out much like the ones
before it, but we hope this new
one will be different. In keeping
with the hope of a new year, every-one
makes new year's resolutions.
If you want to have a really ex-citing
New Year's Eve party, make
lots of resolutions. You can break
out in wild abandonment with all
your old habits before the auster-ity
of a brave new year sets in.
RESOLUTIONS will also give
you that feeling of self-sacrifice.
You will never realize what a
brave, unselfish person you are un-til
you see what a noble list of
resolutions you can put down.
Some people take things too
seriously and try to live up to
their resolutions. These people
have only just shaken off last
year's resolutions when, lo and
behold, the new year is here, and
the vicious circle starts all over
again. If you want to be a nervous
wreck with stomach ulcers and in-digestion,
just try keeping your
resolutions.
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
are a must, but they are impos-sible
to live with unless carefully
made.
However, there are several valu-able
rules to make the longest
list of resolutions tolerable. Never
make resolutions that will last
longer than a week. A good way
to achieve this is to make two
conflicting resolutions. For in-stance,
resolve not to eat so much
in 1958, and then resolve to be
less wasteful. You can bring these
into conflict simply by buying too
big a turkey for New Year's Day.
You will either have to eat all
you can or be wasteful.
This brings us to a second use-ful
rule. Make resolutions that
you know someone is going to
make you keep even if you don't
make them. A man with a frugal
wife can always resolve not to be
wasteful.
FINALLY, make such a long
list of resolutions that no one
would blame you for forgetting
most of them. These simple rules
will make your resolutions harm-less.
Yes, you can face the world as
an upright citizen by making new
year's resolutions and still enjoy
life. You can have the thrill of
realizing your own sublime self-lessness
without the sting of self-discipline
and its attendant evils.
Like a skunk with his offensive
odor removed, resolutions become
harmless and quite attractive.
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

PEMONMAIION WILL PE ON 1101.112 6er/A BROKEN Aghl,
Let Me Advise You
by Ed Erickson
Dear Son,
"It is more blessed to give than
to receive".
You may think it strange that
I start my letter with this verse.
I know that it is a trite saying
now. Yet for some of us who are
older it has come to have meaning.
IT IS STRANGE how one can
remember, after many years, one
day so vividly that it seems as
though it were yesterday. When
my youngest brother died and
there was a shadow of gloom cast
over the coming Christmas season.
But your grandfather was deter-mined
that his family was going
to have a happy Christmas. Soon
we caught the spirit of it. There
wasn't time nor money to buy
gifts. Instead we invaded the at-tic
and every box and trunk was
carefully searched and anything
that attracted attention was wrap-ped
as a gift.
That was a happy Christmas
eve. For the ten previous years of
my life I had always thought that
happiness was determined by what
I could get. That year this a-mounted
to a few second-hand toys.
Now as I look back I can see that
this was my first real experience
with the blessedness of giving.
THAT MAY SEEM like a naive
story, my son. Yet it has profound
meaning. Last night I was looking
at the stars. One was especially
bright and it made me think of a
certain star which many years
ago heralded the birth of a king
. . . but you know that story. I
wished I could be as simple and
as wise as the child born that
night. Then as I watched, the
glistening star was covered by a
cloud. I remembered that I was
an old man—a man who must
continue to learn the secret of
the blessedness of giving.
MY SON, I have only one re-quest
to make of you. Do not be-come
an old man before you ex-perience
what I did that night
years ago.
Love, Father

Thursday, December 19, 1957
(Ed. note: The following is a reprint from
the GORDON HERALD)
As sputniks one and two orbit above us their
new-dead beeps and buzzes have given way to other
more significant noises. There is the derisive snicker
of Niki Krushchev as he watches the United States
lose face, the anguished howls from American
leaders that our defense system is shot, the mali-cious
purrings of Democrat party leaders as they
eye 1960, and—surely the most asinine sound of
all—the simperings of dog-lovers the world over
as they learn of the death of Laike. "Poor dog."
Poor blind people. Poor world.
The three voices that disturb us most, however,
are those of the chauvinist, the nationalist, the
member of the God-bless America club; that of the
educator, the man-manipulator, the producer of
"useful" and materialistic learning; and that of the
Christian who either ignores the whole thing,
prattles about the wickedness of man or sees vis-ions
of Armageddon and the Four Horsemen.
THE NATIONALIST is a bit frightening because
all he cares about is the fact that the Russians—
not us—got the satellite up there first. He doesn't
give two hoots about our defense setup, our care-fully
laid long-range plans, the state of world af-fairs,
the strain on our economic and educational
setups or any moral issues involved. His theme is
"Let's get a satellite up there just to show those
censored Russians we're still with it. Let's shoot
one to the moon so they'll remember who we are."
This is the fellow who has relatives in Little
Rock, by the way, who mutter about white supre-macy,
and he's a second cousin to all bigots inside
and outside of Christendom who insist that their
way of life is the only way, the best way, and who
salve their injured pride and hurt feelings by yell-ing
for more display of their ideas, for more satel-lites,
for more democracy and bigger home freezers
—anything to fool themselves into believing they
are still and always will be It, the Chosen People,
the Elect.
SINCE THIS FELLOW has nothing to offer con-cretely,
the American educator—defender of our
youth, upholder of our values, pied piper of the
younger generation and a small edition of God to
our barbarized gray flannel culture—steps forward
and, with voice trembling with despair over our
inadequate system, with head held high towards
the future which will be bright if we adopt his
plans, proposes that we revamp our whole educa-tional
system, scrapping much of our "useless" arts
and humanities courses in favor of intensive concen-tration
on the sciences that will enable us to win
back the world leadership we are supposed to have
lost.
BUT WHEN THE STATE starts fussing with
the curriculum, what's to prevent them from fuss-ing
with the student? When education becomes
merely a tool of the state, a means to an end, a
purely utilitarian concept with freedom of thought
restricted, with substantial areas of human know-ledge
and experience ruled out as no longer relevant,
then we have started on the road previously travel-ed
by facism, nazism and communism—we are go-ing
from red, white and blue flags to red, brown
and black shirts.
It is quite possible to have Russia's technical
knowledge without having to adopt her totalitarian
concepts of education (which concepts are not orig-inal
with her and will not die with her).
IN THE MIDST of these secular rantings we
turn hopefully to the Christian, awaiting words of
authority from his lips. All in vain, for he runs as
Christians have been doing for two millenniums to
his favorite interpreter of the Apocalypse and is
content to prophesy the imminence of Armageddon.
Since the non-Christian world has no apocalyptic
pre-suppositions, this argument is conspicuous for
its lack of success.
The Christian may be content to talk about
the wickedness of man and his sinful pride in try-ing
to conquer space but since non-Christians are
talking much more loudly and sensibly about the
genius of man and the benefits of conquering space,
the Christian's words go unheeded.
As a Christian, you can just ignore the whole
thing, too. You can keep your mouth shut, make no
statements, work toward no goals and sit back and
wait for the rapture.
But you might as well be dead.
Joys Give

Around us now the snow has fell
And deadens all our sense of smell.

Something To Think On
by L. Van Heerden
"Not until college students learn how to argue (debate), deeply
wonder and be passionately concerned will America produce
a really great culture."
Pete Gunter, University of Texas
It is recorded in the Sacred Record that "wise men from the East
came to Jerusalem" to worship the Christ-child. They had come to see
God's central act in history and to be present at the smoldering incep-tion
of a great new age. There was something real and vital which
drew them. This something was the "God-Man."
IT IS DOUBTFUL that any wise men from the East (Russia for
instance) would come to the Western world to look anxiously for some-thing
great. We, the current center of Christendom, cannot offer a
great deal more than gaudy autos, sex obsession, and the idolatry of
bigger and better gadgets on display.
AND YET there is a faint glimmer of hope. Here and there are
prophets and their young disciples who are calling for • Intelligence,
Love, Devotion, and Sacrifice. It is just remotely possible that we
will escape global suicide; that somehow the youth of our day will
discard their lolly-pops and lip service and concentrate on combatting the
encroaching darkness.
With such a movement perhaps we can create a Christ-dynamic
which will crash through the superficiality of the masses and wade out
to the peoples of the East, winning them to Christ.

Erickson
Honored As
Valuable'
Bruce Erickson was named yes-terday
as the Most Valuable Play-er
for the Bethel football team
this year. Stu Luckman and Jim
Milbery were selected as next
year's co-captains.
Twenty-six men received foot-ball
letters in the athletic awards
chapel service yesterday. One
cross- country letter went to Bob
Johnson.
BRUCE, a senior and team cap-tain
for the last season, did out-standing
work in passing and was
one of the most steady gridders
on the squad. With the exception
of the last game when he was
out with an arm injury, Bruce
played nearly all 60 minutes of
each game.
LUCKMAN, sophomore tackle,
led the Bethel line last season.
Milbery, a frosh from St. Paul,
was one of the leading ground
gainers in his first year for the
Royals.
Superior
by Denny Johnson
The Bethel Royals won their
third game of four starts Dec. 7
on their home court by defeating
the powerful Superior State team
83-66.
The Royal's excellent teamwork
paced by dazzling shooting by Wes
Young, Bob Pommerenke, and Ter-ry
Bottenfield continued through-out
the game to thrill the fans.
BETHEL'S CENTER, 6 foot 4 inch
Don Becker, who did a splendid
job in the key position, took the
starting tip and the Royal five
hastily moved to chalk up a five
point lead. However, the persis-tent
Superior forwards battled to
an 18-18 tie at the end of the first
period.
For the following five minutes
the lead changed hands rapidly.
With less than five minutes left in
the first half, the Royals broke
loose to take command, hitting 13
points in the remaining minutes.
The drive was led by deadly 25
foot shots by Young and Pommer-enke,
who together tallied better
than half of the Royal's points.
DESPITE BETHEL'S 41-28 led at
half-time, the Superior State team,
who had not yet tasted defeat this
year, fought back steadily to de-crease
the lead.
However, the visitors were foul-plagued
and Bethel guard Botten-field
continued magically to sink
baskets from a distance, moving
the Royals out of reach for the
remainder of the game.
Young led the scoring column
with 23 points. Pommerenke was
next with 18, and Bottenfield third
hitting 17.
Bethel Becker (24) tangles with a Superior player.
TONG
BY JESSUP An increasing amount of team work has really helped the Royals
this year. Evidenced in the Milwaukee Institute game, the points of
the six leading men ranged from 11 to 16. On the home court against
Superior State, this was particularly shown in the second half. The
team hit 47% against Superior. Over 500 attended that game here.
THE NEXT HOME GAMES take place during vacation. First is
Jan. 1 against Taylor University, rumored to have a good team. Taylor
is on a trip, playing in tournaments in Iowa and Bemidji, Minn. Jan.
3 and 4, at an invitational tourney here will be Northwestern of Minne-apolis,
Bethel, Valley City teachers from N. D., and Michigan Tech.
These are all rough teams with the possible exception of Northwestern,
who have not done too well this year. Second day back is the River Falls
game on Jan. 7.
OUR "B" TEAM has dropped two games, the first to St. Paul Bible
Institute, 76-63, and the second to Superior's second team on Dec. 7,
82-64. The latter was a brawl with several men fouling out. Fifty-eight
free throws were taken. Graham hit 16 for high man.
In their first conference game last Tuesday night, Healy's "B"
team took a 63-60 victory of the Mount Olive Lutheran church team of
Minneapolis. Paced by Byron Lindaman's 34 points, the little Royals won
their first game after dropping two. They played Minnesota school of
business last night in another league contest.
Girls intramurals are progressing favorably and we hope the en-thusiasm
they have shown will continue. They have not chosen names
for their teams as yet, but they are labeled as Frosh teams one, two,
and three, Sophomore teams one and two, and Junior-Senior team.
Captains for them are: Judy Hegstrom, Jean Miller, Ruth Randall,
Annette Burgess, Patti Sanders, and Priscilla Knapp.
Playing each Monday from 7 to 8 p.m., only two of three nights
have counted. Frosh one have won twice, Sophomore two have won
once, and both Frosh two and three have lost once and tied once.
FOR THE BOWL GAMES Jan. 1 we will predict these wins: in the
Rose Bowl, Ohio State over Oregon (a safe one) ; in the Orange Bowl,
Oklahoma over Duke; in the Cotton Bowl, Navy over Rice; and in the
Sugar Bowl, Mississippi over Texas.
Royals Take Two On Trip;
Edge By Lakeland, MIT
In First Conference Wins
On their first road trip to Wisconsin, the Bethel Royals edged by
the Milwaukee Institute of Technology last Friday, winning 84-78, and
Lakeland Saturday night, winning 72-70.
Before less than 20 people, the Royals played their first conference
game in the cracker box gym against a fired-up team led by high
shooting forward, Ron Carwell.
From Young's first basket to the end of the first half both teams
battled evenly, trading basket for basket, neither getting far ahead. Led
by Becker, center, hitting 10 points, the Royals ended the first half
tied with Milwaukee, 41-41.
WORKING THE BALL in the hole better, in addition to Botten-field's
fine offensive and defensive play kept the teams even up to
the last few minutes, when spurred on by three successive baskets by
Young, the Royals pulled away, scoring the winning points in the last
two minutes.
The Bethel hoopsters spread out their baskets with six men hitting
between 11 and 16 points each. High man for the night was Carwell of
Milwaukee with 27.
On Saturday before a capacity
crowd the Royals captured their
second win at Lakeland college in
Sheboygan.
THISI GAME, closely resemb-ling
the previous night's contest
in spirit, was characterized by the
evenness of play also. The score
was almost even throughout the
game to the last minute when the
Royals edged ahead and stalled
the ball to the bell.
The spirited Lakeland five fail-ed
to use the usually high scor-ing
forward, Haxton, who was
held to six points, fouling out in
the second half.
WITH YOUNG leading off again
the teams traded baskets up to
the half with a good spread of
points between the Royals to end
off at the midpoint 38-38.
With Knoner's rebounding and
Young's hot streak shooting in the
second half, Bethel managed to
squeeze by to lead in the last 15
seconds with two free throws by
Knoner.
High men for the night were
Young for Bethel and Don Peters
for Lakeland, both tallying 21
points.
St. Mary's of Winona, Minn.,
tripped up the winning ways of the
Bethel cagers 80-68 on Dec. 4.
St. Mary's started fast and fin-ished
fast, using their cracker box
gym to every advantage. At the
outset of the game the Redmen
hit a series of long set shots that
put them in the lead. St. Mary's
also used an effective press on
alternate defensive assignments
that tended to hamper the Royals.
Les Borms, playing his first
game of the season with the cast
off his finger, hit his old stride
while leading the Royal scoring
with 22 points and did a good job
of rebounding with Wes Young.
Trailing by 10 to 12 points much
of the game, the Royals pulled
within six points of the Redmen
with two minutes left, only to fall
back and lose by 12, 80-68.

Thursday, December 19, 1957
The holiday spirit has invaded
Bethel campus from the Health
Service to the bookstore.
A seven foot fir tree decorated
with lights, tinsel, and colored
balls stands in the reception room
of the health service. Wreaths
hang on the doors and small
"medical" Christmas trees made
of cotton decorate the rooms.
THE KITCHEN CREW put a six
foot pine tree with white artificial
snow and large green balls in the
dining hall. A display of fir
boughs and pink and gold winter
flowers was placed on the fireplace
mantle by Betty Ohlin, senior art
major. Red and green crepe-paper
streamers are strung along the
ceiling.
For the entrance hall of Bodien
residence, Betty Ohlin made a col-ored
chalk mural of Mary and the
Christ child, designed to look like
a stained glass window.
THREE SPOTLIGHTS illuminate
the nine foot tree decorated with
tinsel and multi-colored balls in the
Bodien lounge. Dorm girls made
the Christmas candles and collected
leaves and sprigs at Como park
for centerpieces.
Tall, long-needled pines stand in
the lounge of Edgren residence and
the student lounge. Joe Zacharias,
junior, decorated Edgren lounge,
emphasizing the fireplace.
Colored stars and Christmas
tree balls are suspended from the
ceiling of the bookstore. Christmas
music is played on the hi-fi phono-graph.
Elaine Wallin
Crowned Lucia
Elaine Wallin, sophomore, was
crowned Swedish Lucia and Ger-man
carols were tape-recorded at
the Christmas parties of these
language clubs this week.
At the Swedish party Monday
evening, "The Night Before Christ-mas"
was read by Carol Leafblad,
junior, in Swedish dialect.
Scripture was read by Carol
Julien, senior, from the Swedish
Bible.
Mike Malone, a former Bethel
student, now in Laha.bia, Cal.,
sent a Christmas greeting to Effie
Nelson, assistant professor of Ger-man,
and the German classes. He
also requested them to make a tape
of German Christmas carols which
he plans to use in teaching a unit
on Germany.
Special music in German was
provided by Sylvia Jackson, senior,
Wendy Wikholm, sophomore, John
F. Anderson, senior, and Ron Eck-ert,
senior, at the German party
yesterday.

"In modern warfare there is no
victor. Both sides lose," said Dr.
J. W. Buchta at the Dec. 5 convo-cation.
He proposed a plan for
peace as a substitute for this mod-ern
warfare which no one can win.
Dr. Buchta, associate dean of the
college of science, literature, and

tions with people in other lands.
After ten years of this proposed
plan ,Dr. Buchta said, it would be
no less difficult to get these
countries to go to war against
one another than it would be "to
get Minnesota to go to war against
Sweden or Norway."
"The launching of a satellite is
not a major scientific advance,"
Dr. Buchta stated, "but is was a
big engineering feat."
SATELLITE LAUNCHING has
been planned for the International
Geophysical Year since 1950 as a
scientific and not a military pro-gram,
Dr. Buchtta said.
The military significance of the
launching seems to arouse the
most interest, he said. The launch-ing
devices could be used to launch
inter-continental ballistics missiles.
However, problems with getting
these missiles back through the
atmosphere once they have left it
are yet to be solved.
BOMBS cannot be dropped from
these satellites, as some people
seem to think, Dr. Buchta explain-ed,
since the satellite is a freely
falling object itself.
A number of bills for subsidiz-ing
students interested in science
and engineering probably will be
introduced at the next session of
congress, he said. The educational
world probably will object to these
bills since freedom of choice in the
field of study is considered basic
in our democratic system, Dr.
Buchta said.
Bethel won four out of six
debates in the "B" division of the
Twin Ciity League the first inter-collegiate
meet this year.
Margo Chamberlain and Fred
Bergen, both freshmen, defeated
teams from Northwestern College
of Minneapolis and St. Johns Uni-versity
of Collegeville. They lost to
Concordia college of St. Paul.
Lynn Weaver and Karen Christ-ensen,
both juniors, defeated teams
from Macalester college and St.
Thomas college, both of St. Paul,
and lost to the University of
Minnesota team.
Every other Tuesday the teams
in the Twin City league hold prac-tice
debates.
