The World Missions Fellowship
will hold its first meeting on Octo-ber
7, Saturday, at 5:30 p.m. in
the President's Dining Hall.
The first of several speakers
they expect to have, will be Dr.
Donald Larson, anthropology pro-fessor
on campus. He will concern
himself with 'A Rationale For Mis-sions—
A Very Private View'. He
will bring along with him a Philip-pine
dessert. Dr. Larson was in the
Philippines for a number of years
with a linguistic organization.
Annual social event of the
World Missions Fellowship, The
International Dinner, is slated for
Saturday, October 21, at 7:00 p.m.
in the cafeteria. Unusually decor-ated
with a varied program, the
dinner draws students from many
local colleges including Hamline,
Macalester, St. Thomas, St. Cath-erines,
and the University of Min-nesota.
Officers for this year are: Shel_
don De Luca, President, Ken Col-lins,
Vice President, and Joan
Youngquist, Treasurer - Secretary.
Mrs. Ryberg is serving as the or-ganizations'
adviser.
Meetings of the Fellowship will
be conducted every three weeks.
The 1C3 Leadership Retreat
scheduled for this weekend at
Camp Courage, Annandale, Minne-sota,
has potentials for becoming
perhaps the most significant fall
event spotted on Bethel's campus
calendar.
"IC3" stands for Inter-Colleg-iate
Coordinating Committee, an
organization of Twin City pri-vate
colleges purposing to "fac-ilitate
the exchange of ideas ...
cordinate existing inter-campus
activities and to initiate new co-operative
programs" among its
nine-member schools.
Member-schools in the organiza-tion
are: Augsburg, Bethel, Con-cordia,
Hamline, Macalester, North-western,
St. Paul Bible, College of
St. Catherine, and College of St.
Thomas. From these nine colleges
then, come the student government
representatives who will "retreat"
for planning and preparation of
academic year, 1967-68.
The IC3 in a number of cap-acities
could become "most sig-nificant"
for Bethel as well as
for other area colleges in bring-ing
into existence a "modern
era" in academics:
It could issue an inter-college
library card making all this area's
library resources easily obtainable
to all students; it might also or-ganize
an inter-campus bus service
for students wishing to avail them-selves
of another campus' facili_
ties. City-wide service projects are
another area on which the Com-mittee
can, and has, focused.
Simply the coordinating acti-vity
which IC3 undertakes great-ly
multiplies informational op-portunities
for students. Shared
responsibilities and costs among
the colleges made possible last
year's inter-college graduate
school information day on which
representatives of major gradu-ate
schools were invited to pre-sent
their school's programs.
A similar 1C3 project was the
Career Civil Service Day on which
the major government agencies
presented opportunities open to
college graduates. Whereas a sin-gle
school might have been hesi-tant
to sponsor the service, the
IC3 with the support of all the
Twin City colleges, could readily
take on the project,
The IC3 itself, is a type of
informational center, maintain-ing
a central file on its mem-bers'
publications, constitutions,
and catalogues, and keeping an
inter-college activity calendar.
An executive secretary, from one
of the colleges heads the Commit-tee.
Currently holding the officP,
is Mark Hanson, an Augsburg sen-ior,
whose IC3 responsibilities in-clude
planning meetings, main-taining
files, handling correspon-dence
and carrying out designated
research and projects.
Dinner meetings of the official
body of IC3 are convened month-ly.
Here, business is transacted

Coffee Shoppe
Going Full Bore
September 18th was a history-making
day at Bethel. Records of
the historical event, however, will
not be found in either a Baptist
General Conference yearbook, or
the Bethel College SPIRE, but in
the unfrequented financial records
of Bethel's Coffee Shop.
To be recorded in this journal
are the 1000 sales rung on that
memorable day, an unprecedented
figure on any "normal" school day.
("We don't count Founder's Week,"
comments Mrs. Margaret Ander-cont'd
on page 2, col. 4
pic" (eg. freshman orientation,
student judicial boards) is dis-cussed.
The widespread possibilities for
Bethel as a member of IC3 are
well visible. The possibilities may
even be such that Bethel students
will some day be receiving credits
for an education course at Macal-ester
or a religion course at Augs-burg.
Yes, this weekend's Leader-ship
Retreat could be most sig-nificant
in Bethel's future.

Shattered Berlin was in flames.
As remnants of resistance van-ished,
the Red Army moved
quickly to close an iron ring
around the wretched city. A nar-row,
perilous gap remained when
Martin Bormann left Adolph Hit-ler's
bunker. Did Bormann, Hit-ler's
deputy and mass murderer,
slip through and escape to South
America? The dark question has
haunted a generation. Simon
Wiesenthal, who broupht the un-speakable
Nazi, Adolph Eich-mann,
to justice, believes Bor-mann
is alive in South America.
Now comes testimony from a
Nazi war criminal extradited
from Brazil: Wiesenthal is right.
Eric Clark reports in the London
Sunday OBSERVER on Bormann
and his fugitive life.
Nazi War Criminal Franz Stangl,
now being interrogated in West
Germany, has admitted that Mar-tin
Bormann—Hitler's deputy is
alive. Stangl, extradited from Bra-zil,
has also pinpointed where Bor-

a convocation billed for Tuesday,
October 3.
He graduated with honors from
the University of Oregon in 1943.
He received his M.A. at Harvard
and was awarded the Ph.D. from
Oxford University, England, in
1950.
Dr. Treadgold was a Rhodes
scholar in 1947 and has received'
numerous grants from Rockefeller
and Ford for various studies in-cluding
a study of the Chinese
language.
Among his kudos are Managing
Editor, Slavic Review 1961-65,

Well known singer, Frank Boggs,
will make an appearance on cam-pus
Monday, October 2, at 8:00
p.m.
The bass soloist will sing a sac-red
concert of classics, hymns,
gospel songs, and negro spirit-als.
He will be accompanied at
the piano on all his numbers by
C. Edward Thomas except on the
negro spirituals when he will ac-company
himself at the key-board.
Mr. Boggs is a former minister
of music at the First Baptist
Church of Tallahassee, Florida,
and is presently engaged in travel-ling
full time, making frequent ap-pearances
around the nation.
Mr. Boggs has recorded some
ten LP albums with WORD Rec-ords,
Inc. On three of these al-bums
he was accompanied by
symphony orchestra in London,
England.
Among his many honors is his
appearance as soloist at the Serv-ice
of Prayer and Dedication for
Queen Elizabeth II on the eve of
her coronation in London, Eng-land,
1953. Mr. Boggs had a regu-lar
radio telecast for many years
in London.
He has also traveled with the
Billy Graham Evangelistic team
and presented many sacred con-certs
in leading colleges and
churches of Canada and the Uni-ted
States.
Among his personal likes are
mann is: The Brazilian State of
Parana, close to the Paraguay bor-der.
As a result, the West German
Government has asked the Brazil-ian
authorities to arrest and ex-tradite
Bormann. This is the first
time the German Government has
indicated that it believes Bormann
—officially declared dead in 1954
—is alive.
Stangl would know the truth. As
former commandant of the notor-ious
Treblinka extermination camp
in Poland, he was third on the
list of the most-wanted Nazis. At
the time of his arrest he was liv-ing
and working in Sao Paulo, Bra-zil,
an area in which a number of
Bormann's underlings settled after
the war.
It now seems that Bormann has
been moving about in Brazil, Para-guay
and Argentina. He has a
heart disease, and at one time
was in the Monastery of the White
Padres in Asuncion, Paraguay,
where Josef Mengele—the "doctor
of Auschwitz"—was called in to
treat him.
Stangl, now awaiting trial, is
likely to be interrogated for some
of the American Historical Assoc-iations
Conference on Slavic and
East European Studies. He was
President, Alpha of the Washing-ton
Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa
honor society.
Dr. Treadgold has mastered sev-en
languages, among them are
Chinese, Russian, French, and
German.
Author of three books, his latest
is Twentieth Century Russia. He
has edited one volume, Soviet and
Chinese Communism which is to
be published this year. He has
written, on occasion, for such pres-tigous
journals as the New Repub-lic,
National Review, and the New
Leader.
Born on November 24, 1922, he
is married and has three children.
onion and peanut butter sand-wiches,
and his home, Atlanta,
Georgia. He was born in Texas.
Among future artists appear-ances
on campus is the Ermeler
Duo, a husband and wife team
from Germany. A flute-piano
combination, they will present a
classical concert with a few con-temporary
offerings. This con-cert
is scheduled for the evening
of October 19.
A concert free to the public on
October 30th will feature the Min-,

who will be highlighted by an ac-companying
soloist.

Charismatic Leadership
`Must' For College Unity
The fact that many students are forced to live off campus
contributes to what one staff member called the most acute
problem on campus—the lack of community. This feeling of
onenes is seriously retarded by the geographical dispersion of
students, but even more seriously, the leadership vacuum on
campus deals the mortal blow to student commonalty stylishly
called by theologians, koinonia).
There are always men around who will take the reigns of
student government—reluctantly though they do it; there will
always be someone to manage the publications; these functions
are capably filled by someone. But this does not insure the
presence of leadership.
Why is leadership important? Leadership is important,
obviously, to focus student attention; to embody the ideals for
which a community strives. It attempts to pull together the
divergent members of the student body into a common drive.
Only through such common ground will any progress be pres-ent
on the campus.
Secondly, if student opinion is to hold any respect from
the administration it must be united. Leadership must give
voice to that opinion and do so with the authority of student
concensus. The administration would be willing to consider
more seriously student interest in various current projects—
such as the planning for the new campus, if the students could
find some personality or personalities that effectively spoke
for the campus at large.
Such a personality must have charisma (that word has
become secular in many ways). Charisma is an aura of authority
that takes hold of student attention and holds it fast. Charisma
comes into being when someone demonstrates an unusual
ability to handle 'the scene' through sheer personal gravity.
People like this have been here, and people like this will come.
But we cannot expect to feel a unity as students until such a
person appears on campus, ready to lead.
Leadership is paramount, and it is effective only when
charisma is present. Will the real leadership please stand up?

• Higher Leader's Stipends
Eases Leadership vacuum
The financial renumeration given to student public serv-ants
on campus at Bethel is a sore point with the Senate as
well as with those who serve.
The Senate President, the Spire editor, the Coeval edi-tor,
and the Clarion editor all receive a small return for their
work. et for the time which each of these officers puts in,
the return is little more than a pittance. The Spire and Clarion
editors receive 200 dollars per semester, and both jobs demand
at the minimum 20 hours per week. The $200 is usually dis-tributed
with the other staff members such as the business
managers and department heads.
Taking into consideration that such sister schools as
Wheaton and Seattle Pacific College give their leading officers
a free ticket through school for their term of office, including
tuition, room, board, etc.) it is highly irregular that Bethel
officers who put in an equal amount of time and effort would
receive such a meager return.
People who are worthy of taking unusual responsibility
are also worthy of commensurate compensation. If the Senate
wants to add to the weight of high office it would do well to
consider a new policy of increased help for student leaders. A
persistent, indifferent policy will only help to perpetuate the
leadership doldrum which presently hangs over the campus.

Letter:
Sammons Endorses New NSA
Cites Utility, Policy Changes
Long Pull of Vietnamese History
Muddied By Micro Preoccupation
Editor:
With several months having
elapsed since the 1966 discussion
regarding the United States Na-tional
Student Association and with
the 1967 discussion soon to come,
perhaps it is wise to consider last
year's arguments in light of sev-eral
month's perspective and of
the changes which have been taken
by the USNSA to change its inter-ests
and image.
The basic anti-NSA position in
the "Senate Observer" of October
27, 1966, regarded the "anti-Viet-namese
and pro-Red Chinese posi-tion-
of the USNSA and whether
the name of Bethel should be as-sociated
with the organization
which had these policies.
The basic pro-NSA position was
that the services USNSA provides
to the Bethel College Student As-sociation
outweighed the liability
of the association with them. The
NSA coordinators at Wheaton Col-lege
and Taylor University have
informed me that this reasoning
was used at their schools also.
But the situation has changed.
Admittedly the liabilities of mem-bership
have been lessened by the
Twentieth Student Congress by
their lessening of emphasis on for
eign policy. Also the advantages of
NSA membership have been in-creased
by expanded services and
an even more active approach to
student-administration-faculty rela-tionships,
a field in which Bethel
has much to progress. But has the
balance changed?
We must re-evaluate the USNSA
in terms of now. The Student Sen-ate,
who is ultimately responsible
for membership renewal, must act
in the light of changes within the
USNSA and, for a change, in the
light of constituent opinion about
the USNSA. We must let the deci-sion
on USNSA this year be an in-formed
decision and one which is
acceptable to the members of the
Bethel College Student Associa-tion.
—Leonard Sammons '69
The clock like monotony with
which casualty figures come out
of Vietnam, and the mundane re-statement
of worn policy speeches
resulted in less and less interest
in the progress of the war, and the
issues which are at stake. The re-sult
is that the .war is run from
the top of the triangular heirara-chy
with less and less voices pro-jected
from, the constituencies.
This is a dangerous drift in Amer-ican
politics. It could well leave
our leaders with a fistful of crumb-ling
ideals, an indignant lot of
American citizens, and a storm of.
international feeling against a war
that has no national backing.
The involvement of newscasters
with daily battles leaves the over-all
perspective of the Vietnam' war
as juddy as the monsoon paddy
fields.
The first appearance of Vietna-mese
history in Chinese annals
dates back to the 3rd century B.C.
when the kingdom of Nam-Viet was
founded in 208. This kingdom was
annexed by the Chinese around 110
B.C. and for the next thousand
years it was governed by the Chin-ese.
During those years, the Chin-ese
exported to Vietnam her con-f-
ucian ethics, her mandarin sys-tem,
her people, and her armies.
Frequent revolts finally culmin-ated
in 939 A.D. when the Vietna-mese
took to their advantage the
chaos at the end of the Tang Dy-nasty.
Wrought with internal struggles,
Vietnam was torn with dynastic

Paraguay and Brazil ("a-round
Parana because there's good
fishing" says one investigator dry-ly).
Nazi funds that were in banks
in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and
Tangier during the war were later
moved to South America. Gluck's
whereabouts are unknown, but for
a time he was known to be in
Chile with a former S.S. colonel,
Walter Rauff, who in 1963 subdued
an attempt to extradite him to
Germany.
Mengele, a citizen of Paraguay
since 1959, is co-owner of an agri-cultural
machinery factory that
employs 2,000 people and has a
branch in Argentina. He has just
bought a new motor boat, which
he has named "Viking." His son
is studying in Vienna. Attempts
to extradite Mengele have failed.
It was because the pursuers of
Adolph Eichmann were afraid of
similar extradition failures that
they decided to kidnap him.
Muller's whereabouts are a mys-tery
at present, but there is less
doubt about his being alive than
there was. Even the many who
believed him dead have changed
their minds since the questioning
of Stangl began. A grave that was
thought to contain his corpse was
discovered, in 1963, to contain
parts of three different bodies.
Like many Nazis, he probably
"planted" his documents on a con-venient
body. He is one Nazi who
may not he in South America.
is known that during the last year
of the war he was in touch with
the Russian secret service.
Muller and Bormann are the
"big fish." Bormann, after taking
over as Hitler's deputy, ran the
German bureaucratic machinery
and countersigned all state laws
before they were passed on to the
Government or Defense Ministry.
Stangl's statements about Bor-mann's
being alive confirm beliefs
held by two prominent Nazi "hunt-wars
for the following 500 years,
until in 1427 when the country was
first truly united under a warrior
named Le Loi. The country was
again split however into northern
and southern factions. By the
1600s, Vietnam had reached its
present size. This last expansion
was accompanied by the arrival of
traders from Europe.
France, Britain, Netherlands,
and Portugal competed for trading
privileges. By the 1700s however.
Vietnam had yielded little to the
enterprising merchants who left
Vietnam to the numerous mission-aries,
most of them Jesuits.
The mandarinate, ruling heir-archy
of Vietnam, saw the Chris-tian
religion as a threat to their
authority. Increasing pressures,
culminating the execution of num-erous
Vietnamese Christians, and
French priest brought the French
armies into play. Worried by
steady British gains in China, the
French took this opportunity to
secure for themselves a holding in
Southeast Asia. Considered as a
back door to China, and the count,
less wealth reported to be there,
the French occupied first southern
Vietnam, and finally moved up to-ward
Hanoi. The French occupa-tion
was resisted from the start,
as was the sozerainty of China in
years before. This resistance con-tinued
unbroken up to the 20th
century.
The French impact on Vietna-mese
life was largely disruptive.
Not only did the French sap what
ers," Hesse State Prosecutor Dr.
Fritz Bauer (who prosecuted the
Auschwitz trial) and Dr. Simon
Wiesenthal, the man who—operat-ing
as a private individual—hunted
down Eichmann.
Dr. Wiesenthal, aged fifty-nine,
has the names of 22,500 Nazi cri-minals
on file in the Vienna offices
of his "Documentation Center,"
which he operates with the help of
world donations. He collects in-formation
from all over the world
and has a network of contacts. He
is the man behind the tracking
down of Stangl. His- public office
is on the third floor of a block,
in the Rudolfsplatz: his secret one
—with the more important files—
is in an unknown location in Vien-na.
As an added precaution (he has
had many threats that he will be
killed) he files copies of the most
important evidence in New York,
Paris and Jerusalem.
He recalls two offers: "a Chilean
diplomat willing to sell me an old
passport of Bormann's for $20,00Q
and a proposition from an English
lawyer who said his client was in
a fashionable sanitorium in South
America and so was Bormann. He
asked $42,00 for the address . ,
too much for me." Finding Bor.
mann is one task, having him ar.
rested and extradited is another.
Wiesenthal has Stangl's address
three years ago—but was afraid
to go through normal channels.
His usual method is to hand the
papers to German authorities. "If
you ask for an extradition, it goes
through the Embassy, the Foreign
Ministry in Brazil, the Governor

to account for the seeming indif-ference

The Viet Cong are inheritors of
a long tradition too. that of jungle

Superimposed on these historical
trends is the American tradition

THERE ARE NO BAD TEACHERS -
THERE ARE ONLY BAD STUDENTS
The academic year has only just begun and already
one thing is clear : you're not ready for college.
What, then, should you do? Should you throw up your
hands and quit? I say no! I say you must attack, grapple,
cope ! I say America did not become the world's leader in
motel construction and kidney transplants by running
away from a fight!
To the question then : You say you're not ready for col-lege.
You're too green, too naive. You lack maturity.
Okay, the answer is simple : get mature. How? Well
sir, to achieve maturity you need two things :
a) a probing mind ;
b) a vest.
A probing mind will be quickly yours if you'll remem-ber
that education consists not of answers but of ques-tions.
Blindly accepting information and dumbly
memorizing data is high school stuff. In college you don't
just accept. You dispute, you push, you pry, you chal-lenge.
If, for instance, your physics prof says, "E equals
me squared," don't just write it down. Say to the prof,
"Why ?"
This will show him two things :
a) Your mind is a keen, thrusting instrument.
b) You are in the wrong major.
Ask questions, questions, and more questions. That is
the essence of maturity, the heart and liver of education.
Nothing will more quickly convince the teachers that you
are of college calibre. And the tougher your questions,
the better. Come to class with queries that dart and flash,
that make unexpected sallies into uncharted territory.
Ask things which have never been asked before, like
"How tall was Nietzsche ?" and "Did the Minotaur have
ticks ? If so, were they immortal ?" and "How often did
Pitt the Elder shave ?"

Shantung Compound was not
a concentration camp. The pris-oners
were not tortured as were
military prisoners. They were
given freedom to organize and
develop the community so that
it would exist as a stable society.
A11 those who were capab,e of
working had some type of job.
There was a shortage of space,
lack of food (especially near the
end of World War II), and a need
for more entertainment to ease
the boredom. Under these condi-tions
Gilkey saw various charac-teristics
of man which entirely
altered his belief system.
Gilkey had believed in the basic
goodness and rationality of man.
Religion was not a necessity for
all, but something that was useful
for some people. As a member of
various committees such as the
housing committee and the food,
committee, Gilkey soon realized
that no matter how rational or
logical an argument he would pre-sent
it would not be accepted if it
called for some sort of sacrifice.
Even the liberal missionaries who
always had emphasized that man
was basically good and would nat-urally
make the moral choice
would themselves act out of self-interest
rather than acting out of
love towards their neighbor.
Although Gilkey says that as
a group the missionaries showed
the most compassion and love
for their fellow man, he is criti-cal
of both the liberal mission-aries
and the fundamentalist
missionaries. The latter were
often too concerned with what
Gilkey would call trivialities to
be effective. Some were so of-fended
by their fellowman who
smoked o rcursed that they re-fused
to communicate with them.
Too much of their Christianity
was negative rather than a re-flection
of Christ's love for us.
One fundamentalist missionary
who had already condemned his
roommate for smoking also dis-agreed
with his roommate who
thought that the Japanese should
of "The Inspector-General," a play
by the Russian, Gogol.
Bruce explains that the play
involves a rather "lowly govern-ment
agent who comes on busi-ness
matters to a strange town
where he is mistaken for some
high dignitary, a misunderstand-ing
of which he takes full ad-vantage."
Bruce, although he is not either
a speech or drama major has been
active in Drama Club and in the
be treated humanely at the end
of the war. The missionary felt
no compassion towards the Jap-anese
and advocated a total de-population
of the Japanese is-lands!
This example is an extreme sam-pling,
yet it clearly shows that
all too often conservative
Christians can become obsessed
with certain aspects of Christian-ity
peripheral to the love of Christ.
In reality we have overlooked the
plank in our own eye as we try to
remove the speck from our bro-ther's
eye.
ITnder trying circumstances such
as those posed by the internment
camp one wonders how deeply the
salvation experience affects how
one acts and reacts. Yet the ex-perience
of the internment camp
is not too different from dilemmas
we face in everyday life. The prob-lem
of selfishness and lack of love
which were so blatantly exposed in
the Shantung Compound are evi-dent
in civil rights problems and
other knots that disrupt our so-ciety.
The moral dilemma that Gil-key
faced at the end of the war
was that "man must be just, fair,
and generous if a creative and
stable society is to be possible
at all, and yet apparently this is
for us a supremely difficult if
not impossible task". The various
moral problems arise out of a
self-worship, a form of idolatry,
rather than a complete faith in
God. Only in God can man find
ultimate security and be moral.
In the last two sentences of the
book Gilkey summarizes the con
elusions he reached as a result of
Shantung Compound. "If men's ul-timate
loyalty is centered in them-selves,
then the effect of their
lives on those around them will be
destructive of that community on
which all depend. Only in God is
there an ultimate loyalty that does
not breed injustice and cruelty,
and a meaning from which noth-ing
on earth can separate us."

and chose to assume directorship
of the play because he though he
would "enjoy directing more than
acting."
Participating in this phase of
the experiment are: Debbie Am-undson,
Kathy Divers, Gary Ham-ilton,
and Dan Merritt.
Second step in the experiment
will be handled by Randy !no-yue,
and is entitled, "King Sol."
This play presents a modern-day
King Solomon and is authored
by drama professor Dale Rott.
As Randy says, each of the dir-ectors
has been "entirely respon-sible
for the interpretation of his
play, although they were given
suggestions as to plays of merit.
Phase 2 involves the following
people: Ed Soule, Lawrence
Schmeiss, Ruth Trail, Jeannie
Seaholm, Linda Kredit, Naomi
DeJong.
The third and final step in the
experiment is being prepared by
Bethel senior Mary Ruetten. What
she has termed a "good presenta -
tion of the issue of ethics and
morals on the college campus" is
entitled "The Search." Also pen-ned
by Dale Rott, this play permits
a look at the college individual in
his search for meaning and real-ity.
Comprising this cast are:
Keith Anderson, Richard Trinity,
Doug Waring, Gail Gutherie,
Sheila Spain, Pat Foley, and

to Pitt the Elder's shaving habits, but of one thing
you can be positive : no matter how often he shaved and
no matter what blades he used, he never enjoyed the
shaving comfort that you do. I am assuming, of course,
that you use Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades,. a
logical assumption to make when one is addressing col-lege
men—which is to say men of perspicacity, discrimi-nation,
wit, taste, cognizance, and shrewdness—for
Personna is a blade to please the perspicacious, delight
the discriminating, win the witty, tickle the tasteful,
coddle the cognizer, and shave the shrewd.
(I bring up Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades be-cause
the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel
Blades pay me to write this column, and they are in-clined
to sulk if I omit to mention their product. I would
not like to see them unhappy, the makers of Personna,
for they are fine ruddy men, fond of morris dancing and
home brewed root beer, and they make a blade that
shaves closely and cleanly, nicklessly and hacklessly, and
is sharp and gleaming and durable and available both in
double-edge style and Injector style.
(And from these same bounteous blademakers comes
Burma-Shave, regular or menthol, a lather that out-lathers
other lathers, brother. So if you'd rather lather
better, and soak your whiskers wetter, Burma-Shave's
your answer.)
But I digress. We have now solved the problem of
maturity. In subsequent columns we'll take up other is-sues,
equally burning. Since 1953 when this column first
started running in your campus paper, we've tackled
such thorny questions as "Can a student of 19 find hap-piness
with an economics professor of 90 ?" and "Should
capital punishment for pledges be abolished ?" and "Are
room-mates sanitary ?" Be assured that in this, our 14th
year, we will not be less bold.

The makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades

STUDENT DISCOUNTS
Bethelites An ticipate Soccer
Seek Support From College
The world's most popular sport,
soccer, has finally come to Bethel.
Having received initial approval
from the administration, and the
other authorities involved, the soc-cer
club will embark on a fund
raising campaign to purchase nec-essary
equipment. On sale will be
a coupon book printed by the VFW
that offers cut rate bargains for
local entertainment and food.
There is a possibility that the
team will be able to arrange mat_
ches with Hamline, Macalester, St.
Thomas, and the University .
Coach 'Mb' Shields, who is advis-ing
the club, stated that soccer
could well be our strongest sport.
There are a good many student on
campus who have played some soc-cer
before, and others who have
played extensively. Colleges who
have students similar to Bethel,
Wheaton and Westmont, have ex-cellent
soccer teams that are rated
high nationally.
The administration has made it
known that the soccer club cannot
expect to receive any funds what-soever
from the regular budget for
several years to come. The ven-ture
is consequently independent
of any school aid, and must be
supported exclusively by the cam-pus

On Saturday, September 23,
Bethel's cross country team trav-eled
to St. John University a n d
lost their seasons opener 18 to
42. St. Johns runners took five out
of the first six places with Cragg
taking first by running the three
miles in 15:45 and teammate
Brain next only one second be-hind.
Freshman Bill Geigert of
Bethel ran well and placed third in
16:28. Rich Swanson finished sev-enth
in 17:20, Steve Johnson ninth
in 17:36, with Dick Olson and Dean
Oberg rounding out the scoring for
Bethel. The rest of the Bethel
team who ran were Dave Greener,
Gary Mueller, Bruce Swanson, Ron
Roper, Forrest Peterson, and Tom
Mesaros.
Coach Trager, beginning his first
year as head of the Bethel runners,
has more quantity than in recent
years, with eleven men working
out. The three lettermen, Johnson,
Olson, and Swanson, along with
Geigert figure to lead the team
this year. Trager and the team are
uncertain how they will do during
the season, but with hard work im-provement
is seen over last years
record. Next Saturday's meet with
three other schools should give an
indication of how well the seasor
will finish.

YOU CAN HELP'
Throughout the years, our athletic teams have had their
ups and downs.
This year, both the football and the cross country teams
have begun their seasons on the down slope. However, the
greatest part of their seasons is still ahead of them, and those
downs could become ups. The student body can help them on
their climb upward with a little active participation. Let's sup-port
our teams with our presence at competition.
A group of Bethelite men have made a great effort to
organize a soccer team. However, the administration cannot
supply them with funds because of their very small recreational
budget. The boys need equipment, and have come up with a
plan to raise money for this very worthwhile activity. Students
can help. Books of coupons will shortly be going on sale at the
price of $7 per book. Each coupon, when turned in at an area
establishment (bowling alley, restaurant, etc.), will award you
with a bargain, the bargain depending on the type of estab-lishment.
It will eventually save you far more than the original
$7 you paid. Watch for the books on sale at the ticket booth in
the coffee shop.
