BETHEL COLLEGE
st. Ittions Week Takes Shape
Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done'
"Your Kingdom Come, Your Will
Be Done" is the theme of the 1967
World Missions Week when Beth-elites
and missionaries confer dur-ing
the week, November 13-17.
Representatives from Ethio-pia,
Japan, India, the Philip-pines,
Mexico, and Northern
Minnesota will find their way
into a week of meetings, dis-cussions,
and lectures.
John Oase (rhymes with Lois),
missionary to Brazil for four years,
has been engaged in evangelistic
work mainly in and around the
city of Jales, (rhymes with dollies),
in the state of Sao Paulo. The last
five months of their term were
spent in Campinas, where he
taught Old Testament Survey, Bi-ble
Geography, and Homeletics at
the Baptist Bible Institute.
Aften intensive language dur-ing
their first year, Mr and
Mrs. Oase plunged into a work
with young people through a Bi-ble
Club program. During this
period they prepared an effec-tive
25 minute radio program
aired daily by local stations.
A church grew up in Jales with
a membership of 56. A building
was erected and currently prog-ress
is being made on an auxiliary
unit for the caretaker. Mrs. Oase,
a registered nurse served as an
instructor at the city hospital in
Jales.
Wilfred Head and his wife
first went to Ethiopia in 1957
with intent to prepare much
needed literature for the fast
maturing church. They began
publishing Amharic material on
the arrival of printing equip-ment
set up adjacent to the Door
of Life Hospital in Ambo, Ethi-opia.
When the Heads left for fur-lough
they had prepared Sunday
School lessons for the junior age,
pupil and teacher. These lessons
were being distributed in the de-nominational
churches.
Mr. Herbert Skoglund, and his
family have been engaged in an
evangelistic ministry in several
small towns in Wakayama Pre-fecture,
Japan. Meetings were
held in private homes, a good
share of the time being spent
with students, and visitation.
Mr. Skoglund also served on the
board of the Osaka Biblical Semi-nary,
which is a school adminis-tered
by several mission boards
for the training of future church
leaders. One highlight of their re-cent
term was the founding of the
Japan Baptist Church Association,
a major step in the progress of the
mission work.
Working almost exclusively on
the ground level, the Dana Lar-sons
have been engaged in ba-sic
evangelism on the North
Bank of Assam, India. They
have spent much of their time
in markets, shops, homes, and
local places of Hindu worship.
Two churches have sprung up,
one at Gogamukh, and a second
at Bengenagora (Egg Plant
Heights). At these two sites, the
Larsons have operated two medi-cal
dispensaries, catering partic-ularly
to the needs of the many
lepers in the area.
An important part of the Lar-son's
work is contact with the hill
tribesmen who are currently in-volved
in a sweeping revival.
The Hartley Christensons have
completed their first four year
term in the Philippines involved
with the strengthening of local
churches. They have planned a
number of Bible studies in the
town of Balamban where adults
take part in scanning the scrip-ture
and special activities are
planned for the younger people.
The Christensons had a part in
conducting tent campaigns in their
locale. Though neither of them is
medically trained, like many other
missionaries, they have found a
rudimentary understanding of med-cine
a must. They have also been
instrumental in developing a radio
ministry.
Representatives from Mexico
will be the Wilbur Harings who
have recently returned with a
log of ten years in that field.
Supplementing his basic evan-gelistic
work, Mr. Haring has
become involved in various types
of social work, agriculture, med-cine,
and teaching. Mrs. Haring
has taken on teaching responsi-bilities,
her own five children
among her pupils.
For the last 13 years, Rev. and
Mrs. Ed Viren have spent their
energies working among American
and Canadian Indians on the Grand
Portage Indian Reservation. Mr.
Viren is in direct evangelism, and
Mrs. Viren serves as a nurse as
well as a member of the county
'
eolPfr— -
school board. The Viren's four
children live with them at Grand
Portage.
The Virens anticipate a January
return to their field. They are
currently residing in Cook, Min-nesota,
doing deputation work for
the Baptist General Conference.

New Clarion Circulation Process
Headlines Budget Austerity Effort
CLARION editor, Jonathan Lar-son,
has announced that the col-lege
journal will adopt a new dis-tribution
policy. The paper will
no longer use the post office as its
outlet. Strategic locations on cam-pus
will be provided wih distribu-tion
boxes. These boxes will ap-pear
in the Edgren, Bodein, and
Hagstrom lounges. Off campus stu-dents
will be provided with a box
in the coffeeshop.
The editor cites two main rea-sons
prompting this policy change.
The first is an attempt to curb
waste. Operating on a paper thin

The Ermelers are a German

a concert tour in the United States.
They have played in such cities as
Chicago and Washington, D. C. at

to a Washington critic, they are a
remarkable couple, and their skill
should be ranked with such peo-ple

so will still have ready access. Sec-ondly,
the move is an attempt to
alleviate some of the pressures in

says editor Larson, that this will
ease some of the phychological
frustrations encountered by those
who are plagued with cluttered

Missionaries
Lay Open G
In a brief interview, Dr. Donald
Larson, faculty member of the
World Missions Week committee
stated that the theme for this
week's meetings is an answer to
the 'Have fun today, tomorrow may
be called off' attitude. He stated
that, 'We must bring forth a new
generation, we cannot be satisfied
with this slogan'.
This theme, has been built
into the weekly chapel slate,
with the following topics under
discussion:
Monday — "Breakthrough", Can
the church crush the hard core
of resistance in the world today?
Yes, report the missionaries, we
are making progress!
Tuesday — "New Men with
New Media", A talk back format

Martyring Of Che Guevara Reverses
Intention Of Anti-Communist Interests
Political circles in the Organization of American
States stirred to some discussion when the Bolivian
government announced last month that it had killed
Ernesto Che Guevara. Though initially the announce-ment
was brushed off as a publicity stunt by the
Bolivian military, his death was confirmed by many
who saw the body and made positive identification.
Several officers cut off one finger and matched
fingerprints with those of Che to confirm beyond
doubt that the legendary Guevara had met his des-tiny.
To many this may seem a victory for the anti-communist
forces. To the contrary, Che Guevara is
to be feared more after his martyrdom than when he
was still alive. Where Guevara fell, hundreds will
come to pick up the flag of revolution and carry
it through the fusillade of free world opposition.
This proves only one thing, that Communism
feeds on violence. In fact violence is the fountain
from which the communists draw their strength. The
same principle worked for the Christians in the
early years. The martyrdom of many believers was
an impetus to the faith, and not a hindrance to its
growth. Yet the railing anti-communists who infest
the free world have blindly committed themselves
to a military defeat of communism. This is both
theoretically, and practically impossible.
Communist revolution is a revolution of ideas.
An idea cannot be blown up with a bomb. It exists
in the abstract. If the father of an idea is killed, his
idea will spring to prominence for it has been stained
with blood; few ideas are so dear to men, that they
will lay down their lives for it.
The idea of injustice and revolution which Che
fathered among the workers of the tin mines of Bo-livia
and the cane fields of Cuba has rather been
spurred to life by his death.
The death of communism cannot be brought about
prematurely by the use of guns and grenades. It
will come in time, if we only let it, from the inside.
As Gameliel said, that which is untruth cannot per-severe.
As members of the free world, we are con-tributing
to the unnatural life of communism by
giving it an artificial cause for which to fight.
The blood of Ernesto Che Guevara has been raised
aloft to the ' tune of the 'Internationale'. If the Free
world blundered once last month in its battle against
the communists it has blundered a hundred times
over. JPL
of Students compels the Senate
to execute desired policy or the
Dean of Students will execute the
policy without the vote of the Sen-ate.
The Dean of Students wants the
students of Bethel College to "be-have
maturely, if given some guid-ances
as to what may constitute
maturity." This "guidance" of-fered
is the proof of what the
puppeteer wants the puppet to do.
Only when the strings are sev-ered
will the Senate operate as a
voice of the student. Let us be-come
independent to explore new
areas and ideas. Will the puppeteer
cut the strings or must the puppet
make the move before he is
strangled?

Last weekend Dan Johnson, the
Junior senator, journeyed to Grand
Forks, North Dakota, as a repre-sentative
of Bethel College at the
NSA (National Student Associa-tion)
convention for Minnesota and
the Dakotas. At the Senate meet-ing
on Monday nigh Dan present-ed
several items to the governing
body which could prove to be ben-eficial
to us as students if proper
action was sought.
The first item of importance was
a curriculum innovation labeled as
the four-one-four plan. If institu-ted
this concept would drastically
change our present system to con-form
closely to Macalester College,
where there are two semesters a
year of four months duration each.
Between semesters is the Christ-mas
break which lasts for a little
over a month.
This arrangement would place
semester finals before Christmas,
as well as afford 'the student an
extended break. Time would be
available to travel, study or hiber-nate.
Dan also discussed a means to
make money through artist series
productions. In order to provide
the campus with popular but ex-pensive
talen such as Simon and
Garfunkel, a few colleges in an
area would share the expenses of
such a group, and the group would
perform at each institution during
the period of a week. NSA mem-bership
would make this plan con-ceivable.

peared before the Senate pertained
to a report by the Academic Com-mittee
chairman, Rich Runbeck.
His report was composed of an
evaluation of the courses of in-struction
which submitted volun-tarily
to student criticism last
year. Among the course offerings
which received the lowest rating
were biology, general chemistry,
English, and general psychology.
In several of these the instruc-tors'
methods were held in ques-tion,
and many students felt that
they would feel guilty in recom-mending
such a course to a friend.
Mr. Runbeck stated that the re-port
as it now stands is relatively
worthless because the academic
year has already started. He con-tended,
however, that the academic
report would be valuable if sur-veys
and a report were accumula-ted
and printed now and issued to
the student body for reference in
the coming semesters.

Campus Forum Imperative
To Student Power Future Recent developments over the student discount card have
brought to critical proportions the student power issue on cam-pus.
If the discount card controversey is allowed to fester with-out
immediate attention, the future of student power at Bethel
will be in serious jeopardy.
It is of the utmost importance that the student leaders
and administration agree to meet in an open forum in the very
near future. Defensive feelings on the part of the administra-tion,
and the reactionary nature of the Senate is a result of
poor communications between the students and the administra-tion.
The lines of access must be free if the community intends
to deal with this problem effectively. It is not enough to simply
state that these lines are open. They must be frequently exer-cised
to reaffirm common goals, and to throw into light the
real differences which separate the two.
The time and place should be chosen to accommodate the
largest number of Student Association members so that feelings
from the community may be heard by the Administration, and
so the Administration can clarify its position directly to the
students.
Missions Week Unearths
Vital Data For Philosophy
Missions Week programs have stimulated little interest
among the student community in the past few years. Departing
from this unhappy precedent the Missions Week committee
has planned an exciting format for the coming week of con-ference.
There is a definite need for rethinking of the function and
form of missions. It is from student ranks that the leaders for
tomorrow's missions will come, and in a broader sense, each
of the students will need a personal philosophy of mission for
life.
The missionaries that come to our campus during the week
are not here to tell us how or even why. They are here to tell
us what they saw and what they did. From their experience
it will be necessary to forge a philosophy of mission that meets
our generation at the gut level. They will serve largely as
resource material for consideration, organization, analysis, and
from the community may be heard by the Administration, and
hopefully leading to a conclusion.
No one need make apology for the communications barrier
which often separates the lifetime professional missionary from
a campus pulsating with 20th century rythms in thought and
language. The life of the missionary is geared to his environ-ment
and his people. A life of preaching in the market to il-literates
can lead to problems when the missionary is thrust
onto a college campus.
The process of communication can come only if students
bring to the conference an attitude shed of all its intellectual
and emotional pretensions extending itself in empathy to the
missionary as a human being.
Draft Poses rRed Tape' Hurdle
With the Vietnam war making
greater and greater demands on
U. S. manpower, the Selective Serv-ice
System has announced that
students will be requested to file
additional papers with the draft
boards.
Bethel male students must fill
out the SSS Form 104 'Request for
Undergraduate Student Defer-ment'.
A release from the selective
Service Center in St. Paul states
that ". . . in November, Minnesota
Local Boards are reviewing stu-dent
classifications. It is the stu-dent's
responsibility to insure his
local draft board has information
indicating both his student status
and a request for an undergradu-ate
deferment before he can be
considered for Class (student
deferment). Without fulfilling both
of these requirements, he cannot
be considered for an undergradu-ate
deferement."
Editor's Note—Though it is
the opinion of the CLARION
that the following letter could
have been averted by clear lines
of communication between stu-dents
and administration it pub-lishes
the letter as representa-tive
of a viewpoint shared by
many Association members.
To the Editor:
"As to leaving the matter to the
Senate, my recollection of the 1964
considerations is that the Dean
of Students and the Student Per-sonnel
Committee clearly informed
the Senate that if it did not act
responsibly on the matter of dress
the Dean and the Committee would
be compelled to act for the well-being
of the Bethel community.
Miss Starr, a long term member
of the Committee, confirms my
recollection." Roy C. Dalton, Act-ing
Dean of Students. Quote from
his letter in the Clarion, October
26, 1967.
If this is student power at Beth-el
college, why have a Senate? The
Dean of Students is a puppeteer
holding the strings of a puppet it
will discard if it does not yield to
its commands and wishes.
The Senate is a student organi-zation
for the students, not the
Dean of Students. Perhaps we
should not go to the Senate with
any ideas or problems, but direct-ly
to the Dean of Students which
dictates to the Senate. The Dean

Band Builds Its Concert Around
Light Circus Parade Atmosphere
A Circus Parade theme will be
used for the 'pops' concert of the
Bethel College Band which is
scheduled for the College Field-house
Auditorium, West Nebraska
and Asbury, St. Paul, on Friday,
November 10, beginning at 8:00
P.M.
The Bethel Women's Federation,
an auxiliary group of Bethel alum-ni,
faculty wives, and friends who
sponsor special projects to aid the
school, will co-sponsor the concert
in order to gain funds toward a
goal of $1200 for books. The group
is composed of Twin City women
only, who are members of Baptist
General Conference churches.
Members of the Federation will
be preparing refreshments for this
fast-time event. In a circus at-mosphere
of tables, booths, and
grandstand, clown outfitted mem-bers
of the Bethel Male Chorus,
and Women's Choir will sell cotton
candy, donuts, popcorn, candy,
punch, and coffee, while Federa-tion
members in the booths also
sell these wares.
On the committee which will
handle the refreshments are: Mrs.
Douglas Anderson of Minnehaha
Baptist Church, Minneapolis; Mrs.
Arnold Nelson of Edgewater Bap-tist
Church, Minneapolis; Mrs.
Robert Bergerud of Brooklyn Cen-ter
Baptist; Mrs. Gene Simson of
Bush Lake Baptist, Bloomington;
and Mrs. Julius Whitinger of Trin-ity
Baptist, St. Paul.
The band, under the direction
of Julius Whitinger, will present
`pops' numbers in two program
sections, with a brief intermission.
Among the soloists is C. Edward
Thomas, Associate Professor of
Music, and noted concert pianist;
`Sam' Hood, formerly associated
with the Ringling Brothers Bar-num
and Bailey Circus troupe, who
will be drumming for the fanfare
bearing his name; and David Swed-berg,
a music student at Bethel.
While the Bethel Women's Fed-eration
will be taking a portion of
the concert profits to use for their
book purchases to aid the library
expansion program, the band it-self
will be using a portion toward
securing uniforms and additional
instruments.
Nik Dag Originates As Senate Action
Against Girls' Dormitory Fire Hazard
The true legend of Nik Dag, like
a wooden floor which has become
smooth from endless scrubbings,
comes down to the present gener-ation
as ungrooved and indistinct,
yet decades of Bethelites have re-mained
devotees of its simple and
quiet charm.
It seems that Nik Dag got its
start early in the history of Beth-el
College. Even then the glaring
symptoms for which it became the
prescribed solution were distress-fully
present — bored and lonely
girls clustered around the TV on
Friday and Saturday nights, foot-ballers
going stag to football ban-quets,
quasi-dates to the coffee
shop in alarming frequency,
"right" guys being impossible to
secure.
That the situation was not grow-ing
worse was seen as significant
by some; however, a greater num-ber
realized rightly that conditions
simply could not worsen, so miser-able
were they. Yet, despite the
recognized severity of the problem,
constructive action awaited the
push of some critical precipitating
event.
The specific incident necessita-ting
Nik Dag occurred on one
cold and uneventful Saturday night
in the girls' dorm. There, under-neath
the TV room, where all the
girls had congregated, an unsus-picioned
yellow flame began to
dance and play. Incited by its own
activity, it whirled faster and fast-er
until the whole room in which
it was contained was charged with
its energies (smoke and flame).
An acute nostril, however, up in
the TV room detected the nature
of the activity downstairs, notice
of which was made to the girls.
They, in a wave of commotion in-appropriate
for the small TV room,
began to push their way from the
room. Bumping and shoving, they
forced their way safely to the out-side,
but not without bruises and
scrapes and much panic.
In an emergency meeting which
the Student Senate convened early
the next morning, a statement was
drawn up declaring that "it is es-sential
to the safety of Bethel Col-lege
students to be occupied on
weekend nights , for unusually
large collections of persons in TV
rooms and the like, obviously be-come
'fire hazards. ".
Remedies to the quest for find-ing
occupation for Bethel females
on weekend nights were sought at
all levels. At one point, the Sen-ate
submitted its problems to a
reputed social theorist, who, af-ter
some research and study ar-rived
at what he called, the Nik
Dagian method. As he stated it,
this method was aimed at "provid-ing
Bethel females with their own
power to find occupation for them-selves
instead of being dependent
for this upon the Bethel male pop-ulation."
The Nik Dagian method, since
then, has taken on many varia-tions,
but at its core, it remains
basically unchanged—Bethel girls,
at the sound of bell, bark, or
whistle, rush to secure Bethel
males of their choice (sometimes
2nd and 3rd choice) for a week-end
of non-dormal recreation.
Effectiveness of the Nik Dagian
has been in dispute over the years.
Criticisms that it is too simplistic
and that it imposes an artificial
situation have been voiced. Yet,
its amenability to empirical test-ings—
How many Nik Dag contacts
are repeated and sustained after
application of the method—gives
this method a measure of useful-ness
and reliability. If nothing else,
the method is a success in that it
disperses the weekend clusterings
in the TV room on at least one

Unidentified Bethel defender leans into Valley City ball carrier
as Dave Moss (31) and Jim Carlson (60) bear down on the scene.
by Wally Borner
The Bethel Royals played their
last football game of the season
and were snowed under by Valley
City, 18-6. The two teams exchang-ed
first downs in the first quarter,
but could not get near either goal.
The Royals threatened. early, but
the V.C. snagged the first of their
four Selander passes. Midway into
the second quarter, Valley City
sent their end down field from the
Bethel 30 and slipped into the end
zone with the pigskin. The kick
failed, leaving the score 6-0.
Bethel countered with a major
offensive which consisted of aerial
attacks centering around John Car-mean
and ground infiltration of
the enemy defenses by halfback
Dave Moss. The ball came to rest
Al 'See' Selander
Helmsman of a ship blown off
the high seas, Al Selander is in
no envious position. Though the
Royals' football squad sports only
a 1-7 record, the team quarterback
will not be seen with a white flag.
After two successful years at
slotback under the tutorship of
Dave Cox, 'See' was pressed into
service as a quarterback by head
coach `Mo' Shields at the outset
of this season. Though Al had lim-ited
experience at the quarterback
position in his highschool career,
playing that role in colltge ball
was a drastic change. Playing
under a new system, with a new
coach meant learning a new game.
As his record will show, Al has
surmounted the difficulties to
prove his mettle at the calling
duties.
As pilot of an air minded of-fense,
Al showed his wares in the
opening contest against Hamline.
Launching ariels 36 times that sun-ny
September Saturday, Al direct-ed
an attack yielding three scores
on the one yard line on fourth
down. A running play failed to
take the ball over, but the V. C.
had moved into the DMZ too soon
and were called for an off side
which gave the Bethel troopers
another chance. This time Al Se-lander
slipped through the line to
tie the score.
The second half began with snow
inundating the atmosphere. Taking
into consideration all factors, the
V. C. took control of the ball game.
Bethel had the ball first and goal
on the ten on one occasion but the
charlies from North Dakota swarm-ed
in to push the Royals back and
take over the ball. They scored
their go ahead TD on a one yard
against the Pipers But as football
people well know, offense alone
cannot win a game. Hamline
knifed through the Royal lines
for a 57 point blitzkrieg of their
own.
This was largely the story of
the season. 'See' consistently hit
his receivers with razor sharp
precision as long as his blockers
provided him protection. More
often than not he wa forced to
scramble from a collapsing pocket
for desperate yardage. Defenders
with more weight and power hurt-led
him to the turf in many of
these attempts.
Selander took up yeoman duty
when the injury plagued squad
needed hmi to double as a de-fensive
half back. This spirit
characterizes his feelings for the
team. "Coaches shouldn't have to
ask for 100% effort," he says,
"each player should be giving that
the minute he decides to play." Al
practices what he preaches.

"MO" SUMS IT UP
The 1967 football season is history. The record is fact
and the highlights are many. The Royals ended the year with
a 1-7 record which is less than impressive. Numerous injuries,
lack of size, the adopting of a new system and the adjustment
to a new coaching staff were a few of the obstacles that had
to be overcome this year.
The football squad began to jell as a team during mid-season
and showed signs of becoming a competitive unit, but
faded in their last ball game. The only win of the season came
at Northwestern of Wisconsin in a fine defensive effort. The
Homecoming game with Morris and a close loss to Mayville
were two of our better efforts on offense.
The foundation has been laid for a highly competitive
season in 1968. The schedule in 1968 will be the toughest
the Royals have faced in the history of Bethel football. The
coaching staff is looking forward to good things for 1968.
With the incoming freshmen, on-campus prospects, and the
returning 1967 squad members, Royal football for 1968 looks
promising in the face of some stiff competition.
Your continued support is necessary, and your support in
1967 has been greatly appreciated! Bethel athletics are on the
move; get behind and push!

run that was set up by a 32 yard
pass play. An insurance touch-down
in the fourth quarter gave
Valley City an 18-6 lead, but it
was hardly needed as Bethel was
not given the chance to escalate.
The final gun sounded and the
Bethel Royals withdrew from the
skirmishes of the football season
with their seventh loss.
