Changes In Student Draft Status
The new draft law, the "Military
Selective Service Act of 1967,"
which went into effect on 1 July
1967, has resulted in changes in
student deferment policy.
The local selective service boards
have prepared a question and an-swer
format to clarify some of the
important aspects of this new law.,
Ouestion: What requirements
must I meet to qualify for a II-S
clasification as an undergraduate
college student?
Answer: You must file a written
request with your local board for
deferment as an undergraduate
college student. Additionally, you.
must provide your local board each
year with convincing evidence that
you are continuing to pursue sat-isfactorily
a full-time course of
instruction at a college, university
or similar institution of learning.
To file a request, a Selective Serv-ice
form, SSS Form 104, Request
for Undergraduate Deferment, has
been provided and may be ob-tained
from any Eelective Service
board office or at most colleges
and universities.
Question: How does the Selec-tive
Service System define the
phrase "satisfactorily pursuing a
full-time course of instruction"
when the deferment of undergrad-uate
college students is being con-sidered?
Answer: To be considered as
"satisfactorily pursuing a full-time
course of instruction," an under-graduate
student who is taking a
four-year course should earn 25
percent of the credits required
for his baccalaureate degree at
the end . of his first academic
A banquet for Bethel women
will be held on Tuesday, October
3, at 6:30 p.m. at the Jehovah Lu-theran
Church, Snelling and Tho-mas
Avenues, St. Paul.
Tickets are $2.50 and may be
obtained from resident assistants
in the dormitories, at the ticket
booth in the coffee shop Septem-ber
20-22, or 25-27 during the noon
hour, or by contacting Jan Fjeld-heim,
P.O. 712.
All Bethel women are invited
to attend this banquet. However,
those who have a Big or Little Sis
should attend the banquet with
their Sis. Any students new to
Bethel this year who do not know
who their Big Sis is should con-tact
P.O. 640 or P.O. 624.
Transportation will be provided
for those who need it. Information
regarding this will be given to
those who have purchased tick-ets.
The theme of the banquet will
be "New Horizons." A highlight
of the evening will be a fashion
show sponsored by a nationally
known department store.
The Bethel Women's Associa-tion
is an organization for all wo-men
on campus, as well as for
the wives of the facult * y and stu-dents.
The officers for the 1967-68
year, 50 percent at the end of
his second academic year, and
75 percent at the end of his third
academic year. In the case of a
baccalaureate degree for which 5
years of study are prescribed by
the institution, a student should
earn 20 percent each year of the
total credits required for the de-gree.
• Question: What is meant by a
"student's academic year?"
Answer: In determining eligibi-lity
for classification in Class H-S
(college student), a student's aca-demic
year shall include the 12-
month period following the begin-ning
of his course of study.
Question: Last June, I received
my baccalaureate degree. I have
been accepted for graduate study
in history beginnning in Septem-ber,
1967. Will I qualify for a II-S
deferment?
Answer: You may be placed in
Class II-S for such study but will
be deferred for one academic year
only, or until you cease to satis-factorily
pursue the course of in-struction,
whichever occurs first.
Answer: Yes. You may be classi-fied
in H-S, student deferment, for
the fourth year of undergraduate
study. Class standing does not have
a relationship to the deferment so
long as you are a full-time and
satisfactory student.

"Macbird," the viscious satirical
play by Barbara Garson, which
implicates President Johnson in
the death of John F. Kennedy, is
to be included in the 1967-68 rep-ertiore
of St. Paul's Eastside Thea-ter.
The Eastside thus becomes the
first amateur theater in the na-tion
to begin work on this title,
attacked by FBI Chief Edgar Hoov-er
as being "treasonous" and "se-ditious."
Playwright Miss Garson will per-sonally
be overseeing the cast's
first week of activity on the play
before its November 9th through
December 10th staging.
The Eastside Theater began as
a producing organization five years
ago in 1962 as St. Paul's only
community theater.
From two standpoints it has
since then endeavored to become
a reliable and noteworthy group:
1) that of providing its. communi-ty
with good, substantial theater;
2) and of providing area actors
and artists with a facility in which
to express themselves.
With these objectives in mind
no standing acting "company" has.
been formed, casts change with
the production, and tryouts are
open to anyone with a desire to
act.
The Eastside Theatre presently
occupies a former church building
at 311 Ramsey. The building was
erected in 1876 by the architect
Cas Gilbert who also designed the
State Capitol building in St. Paul
as well as the Supreme Court
building in Washington, D.C.

the assistance of the Federal Gov-ernment,

opportunities educational in:
stitutions have been able to illu-minate
the dark shadow of the
college financial burden.
The National Defense Loans and
the Guaranteed Loans are perhaps
the most common financial aids
utilized by Bethel students. This
year 115 students are receiving
aid through the NDL.
These funds are supplied by
the government, and repayment
bearing 3 per cent yearly inter-est
begins nine months after
the student has completed his
studies. At a rate of 10 per cent
a year, a recipient of this loan
can cancel up to 50 per cent of
it if he becomes a teacher.
The Guaranteed Loan Program
operates through local lending in-stitutions
and repayment of these
loans begins after completion of
the borrower's studies with the
Federal Government carrying 1/2
of the interest. Under both of
these programs undergraduates
may borrow up to $1,000 a year.
Mrs. Betty Hardie, Financial
Aids Officer, says that the Guar-anteed
Loans for this year will
more than double last year's
amount of $74,342. Last year's
records also indicated that 55.9
per cent of all Bethel students
were receiving financial aid of
some type.

Nelson Leads College Europe Tour
Art Attracts Summer Travellers
In the late afternoon of June
14 a bus filled with Bethel stu-dents
drove into the French vil-lage
of Amiens. The bus weaved
through narrow, winding brick
streets, past crowded shops and
houses that had stood there for
hundreds of years. Suddenly the
scene changed to a large open
plain. The bus circled and stopped
at the foot of one of the largest
churches is Northern Europe. The
setting sun lighted the front of
the Cathedral of Amiens brilliant-ly
as the students descended from
the bus.
The Cathedral had been built
in the 13th Century at the
height of the Age of Faith. The
religious spirit had shaped the
building, made it the tallest and
had given it the most sculptural
facade of any of the Gothic
structures. This time of day was
perfect to see this spectacle
for the Cathedral of Amiens was
designed to face the setting sun.
It had taken months of plan-ing,
letters and meetings to ar-range
for this day and for 20
other days and many more cathe-drals.
The tour of Northern Eur
ope was to last three weeks, vis-iting
six countries in Europe wtih
the Art and Architecture of Lon-don,
Holland, Belguim, France,
Germany and Switzerland. The
tour group included 15 students,
five alumni and my family. The
Art Department of Bethel College
sponsored the trip and I had the
opportunity to serve as guide.
The group spent three days
in London visiting museums,
galleries, churches and the fa-mous

Street. The city was cordial to

had been achieved last Monday
morning when she concluded an
uninterrupted 20-minute conversa-tion
with Bethel Bookstore mana-ger,
Bob Bergerud, who is deep in
the exasperations of fall purchas-ing.
Although not wishing to under-sell
the beguiling qualities of this
reporter, it must be said that the
major influence in procuring Mr.
Bergerud's time was the subject
matter at hand — the bookstore's
recent relocation and expansionJ
about which its manager was most
willing to converse.
Truthfully, Bob Bergerud is high-ly
pleased with the past summer's
renovation in which he and post-office
manager Irvin Olson swap-ped
headquarters in Bethel's latest
attempt to meet the ever-increas-ing
press for space. The recent
move dramatically expanded the
bookstore's footage from 670 to
1100 square feet.
While nearly doubling the book-store's

not only to the cashiering and
sales areas, but to the "checking-in"
and storage room which ex-teds
behind his office back under
the stairway, and has its own en-trance
into the main hallway.
The confusion once created by
supplies being received in the
sales area is now nearly non-ex-istent.
In previous years, Mr. Ber-gerud's

the group. Londoners were help-ful
and friendly to several lost
students.
Next the group flew to Amster
dam to begin a section of the
tour by bus which lasted 18 days.
Three days were spent in Holland,
and three in Belgium and the nor-thern
part of France until arrival
in Paris. Two of the more im-pressive
art works viewed during
this part of the tour were the
large and magnificent "Night
Watch" by Rembrandt which was
at the Rijksmuseum in Amster-dam
and the remarkable "Adora-tion
of the Lamb" by Jan Van
Syck at Brugge, Belgium.
Five days were spent in Paris .
visiting such famous galleries as
the Louvre, the Museum of Mod-ern
French Art and the Musee
du Jeu de Paume. Remarkable
and famous works were viewed
during these days including a
modern and exciting exhibition

buzzing, flashing, blinking elec-tronic

pieces.
The group left Paris on the 20th
of June and traveled a whole day
to view the Cathedral of Reims
and the Expressionistic work of
Mathais Gruenwald, the "Crucifix-ion."
The next day the group toured
the Black Forest of Southern Ger-many
and spent the evening in
Switzerland. The Swiss section of
the tour was spent mainly in the
cities of Bern, Basel and Zurich.
However, one off day was spent
in Lucerne and many of the group
traveled up to the top of Mt. Pla-taus
(Mt. Pilot) for a train and
cable car ride. Many of the hearty
becomes a rather mild descrip-tion.
Further adding to Mr. Bergerud's
enthusiasm over the new arrange-ment
are the benefits it will bring
to the student population here at
Bethel. Of greatest advanntage will
be the method of "integrated book
selling," a technique which was
previously impossible due to lack
of space.
Under this system, all books on
one subject matter, whether they
be texts, paper-backs, or cloth-bounds,
will be situated in one
area. Textbooks can be found on
the lowest shelves; all others will
be above, arranged alphabetically
by author.
The system of classification and
arrangemennt used in the Bethel
bookstore is official—that is, it
is a prescribed method of the
Bowker Company, a recognized
name in systematization.
The new bookstore facilities al-so
provide for greater display
space for such bookstore side-lights
as attache cases, lamps, and
gift items. Increased display area
has been awarded the art depart-ment
for its brushes and other
supplies. Wall - attached canvas
rolls are soon to be added, from
which an oil canvas can easily
be torn.
Much of the new planned for
equipment has not yet been in-stalled,
comments manager, Mr.
Bergerud. One fixture combining
three four-foot units to display
books on one side and stationery
on the other is still to be fur-nished,
as are two similar fixtures
for display of books alone.
More extensive additions in the
bookstore. continues Mr. Berge-members
of the group walked
down the mountain to Lucerne be-low.
The final tour day was spent
in driving back to Paris for
the return flight to Canada. One
stop at the church at Ronchamp
was the exciting stop of the day.
Ronchamp is a modern church
built around the ruins of a
bombed abbey from World War
II. The architect designed a com-pletely
concrete structure but
achieved a remarkable devotion-al
spirit in a completely con-temporary
style.
The tour was obviously a new
part of education in the Arts for
Bethel and so necessary to the
development of students. I am al-ready
beginning to consider an-other
tour—this time to Spain and
Italy for next summer or the fol-lowing
year.
Under the watchful eyes of John
Splinter and his twenty-four Wel-come
Week assistants, the Bethel
Freshmen of 1967 were solemnly
ushered into the darkened chapel
for the annual "capping cere-mony."
The Mysterious Rite of In-itiation
was performed at 1:30 P.M.
September 12 at a climax to the
two days of Welcome Week Re-treat.
Some were fearful, others
boisterous, and all were a bit
awed by this occasion of which

"seals" — of Bethel College and
Seminary, the National Association
of College Stores, and Christian
Bookstores — will be arranged
on one of the wooden panels of
the bookstore-front.
A greater variety of books is one
of the extra dimensions of the
new bookstore facilities, says Mr.
Beregrud, concluding that he is
open to suggestions from faculty
and reading students as to titles
which might be included.

ly painless—others did not fare so
well. A few well placed blows
reminded the group of the nec-essity
of humiity.
When every beanie was in
place, His Excellency, Student
Body President Jim Hammer re-minded
us that for the next four
days ("until the dawn of the new
week") we were "the lowest
scum on Bethel's campus." In
complete submission we marched
silently to the buses our single
file of green tops resembling a
long garden snake winding its
way down the path.
Only two days before we had
arrived at the Trout Lake Camp
quite concerned and confused, still
not sure what the whole thing was
all about. Despite its inconveni-ence,
even the necessary packing
of two to a suitcase helped launch
new friendships. Besides this,
there is nothing like sitting three
in a seat, to encourage conversa-tion.
On some of the buses there
was a contest to see who could
learn the most interesting fact
about the person next to him. The
winning discovery cannot be print-ed.
Even before arriving on the
camp grounds we had made friend-ships
that will last a lifetime.
In the cabins too, we learned
to associate more names and
faces. I think Retreat would
have been worth it even if we
had done nothing but sit
around and get to know each
other. But we didnt just sit
around!!! We also had a football
game. Have some upperclassman
tell you about that football
game. For the first time in the
history of Welcome Week Re-treat,
the Frosh defeated the
staff.
In order to insure our not
spending too much time with the
books, a number of workshops
were held to introduce us to the
extra-curricular activities on cam-pus.
Representatives from sports,
cheerleading, drama, Christian
Services, speech, the arts, and pub-lications
outlined for us the pro ,
grams of their organizations. 14
was good to know that we didn't.
have to look forward to nine
months of straight school work!
Alrealy the Frosh have been mak-ing
their mark in various activi-ties.
The Trout Lake Chapel was the
scene of our "General Sessions."
Usually conducted by a member,
of the faculty, it was in these
sessions that we were challenged
spiritually and intellectually to
make the most of our individual
talents and abilities. Messages
from Dean Wessel, Dr. Dalton, Mr.
Healy and Miss Starr all taught
us the great opportunity we have
for serving Christ in whatever field
we may pursue.
A few weeks before arriving
at Bethel all of us received a
copy of the book "On Becoming
an Educated Person" with or-ders
to study it thoroughly be-fore
coming to Retreat. About
a third of the class read it com-pletely.
We did have a pretty
lively discussion though, led by
Le Bajuniemi and assisted by
the upperclass staff. Do you
think you should study your
least favorite subject first or
last???
No doubt all of the Freshmen
will remember for a good many
years the staff stunt night. With
a series of skits, the upperclass-men
kept the greenies hysterical
for nearly two hours. "Grecian
Urn", by Hammer and Splinter,
was, without a doubt, one of the
greatest moments in the history
of fine arts!
When the introductions, in-doctrination,
a n d initiations
were over we returned to Bethel
where the upperclasses were
waiting for us en masse. For
four days we beanied, buttoned
and bowed. Now we are official-ly
a part of the Bethel scene.
I think the entire Welcome
Week staff, particularly chair-man
John Splinter, deserves a lot
of credit for making us feel at
home here. (Even if they did
pick on us alot.)
The new week has finally dawned.
The beanies are put away. We now
walk the diagonals in peace. We
are Bethel Freshmen and proud
of it.

Wally Borner
Coach "Mo' Shields pigskin crew
came up with a royal offensive
in their season opener by scoring
21 points against the tough Ham-line
team. The only problem was
that the defense could not do
anything with either Hamlines first
or second string offense.
The Bethel defense worked stub-bornly
at the outset of the game
to make Hamline work for their
first touchdown, but once it came.
they ran away with the first half.
With a little luck, blocking, and
running skill, they got on the
scoreboard a second time on a 78
yard punt return. Forcing Bethel
to give up the ball again, they
moved down to the one yard line

where Co-Captain Carlson scored
his second touchdown.
With a humble but unwavering
manner, Quarterback Al Selander
proceeded to lead the Royals down ,
the field with a succession of pass
completions. Co-Captain John Car-mean
then grabbed a four yard
pass to break the ice. With this
infliction on Hamline pride, they
dampened the spirits of the re-cently
rejoicing freshmen by scor-ing
a fourth touchdown in the
first quarter. The second quarter,
came out slightly better as the
Pipers crossed the goal line only
three times. The half time score
47-7.
The Selander-Carmean Show was
the feature attraction of the sec
ond half of the Hamline fiasco.
Bethel's second touchdown was a
23 yard pass which Carmean took
away from three defenders on the
goal line. Later in the fourth quar-ter,
he made a fine reception on
an eight yard Selander pass to
complete his hat trick.
Throwing passes on three-fourths
of his plays, Al Selander hit the
mark on 23 of 40 passes. Carmean
caught 13 of them for a record
one game total of 179 yards. The
Pipers were amazed at how Bethel
picked apart their pass defense.
The Royals will be scoring points
this season.
