Processional ended, the 1966 choir gathers in front of massive mural to sing opening
numbers. Photo captures weird effect of candlelight using extended time exposure.
The Festival of Christmas, what
is considered by many the high-light
of the Bethel musical calen-dar
will come off this weekend
in four performances set for the
fieldhouse. Friday and Saturday,
the production will be given at the
8 P.M. hour, and on Sunday at 3
and 9 P.M.
The production is a cooperative
effort between the art department
and the music groups. Under the
direction and design of Eugene
Johnson, the art department has
constructed a lavish set depicting
the nativity. Executed in a very
simple style wtih a stained glass
approach it provides the backdrop
for the numbers sung by the fes-tival
choir. The chorus is com-posed
of more than 200 voices,
three individual choirs compose
this mass group. The college choir,
women's choir, male chorus.
The production was originally
started in 1957 and has been pre-sented
ten times, this being the
eleventh occasion.
Musical numbers and narration
will divide the theme, "Rejoice!
Thy Light Is Come", into five seg-ments
representing the historical
breadth of the Bethlehem event:
Light Foretold - Biblical Prophe-cy;
Light Manifest - Preaching of
the Gospel; and Light Received -
Praise by men of all ages who have
received the message.
Attendance at last year's pro-duction
is pegged at 6,500. The
CLARION has it from informed
sources that the Public Relations
Office has been forced to turn
down requests for some 4,000 ad-ditional
tickets due to lack of
space.
Faculty members contributing to
the production are: Elliot Donnels,
Gerald Healy, and Jeannie Bohl-meyer,
narration; Julius Whiting-er,
C. Howard Smith, Robert Berg-lund,
Oliver Mogck, C. Edward
Thomas, and Gordon Howell in the
musical production.
Numbers included in this year's
staging include pieces by Men-delssohn,
Schutz, Victoria, Haydn,
and Handel.

Student Power At Bethel?
"I agree in part with the speakers at the forum. However, stu-dents
should not have the final say in any aspect of either academic
or non-academic areas, although I think we should have some say.
We're not always responsible and the deans, faculty members, and
others who make decisions now are far wiser than us." BODIEN

"I think we should change the term to student responsibility.
The general consensus of kids here is that the concept itself has
a definite place in the Bethel community." FRESHMAN AND
SOPHOMORES, FIRST OLD BODIEN
"We ought to have limited but not complete power. I think
the administration and student body should have about equal
power." THIRD FLOOR HAGSTROM COED
"Student Senate isn't using adequately the power they possess.
I'm a freshman, and I know that our class is not organized very
well yet. I think the student body needs to work together. With stu-dent
cooperation and with good representatives in senate, I think
there is much that could be accomplished." FIRST FLOOR HAG-STROM
FRESHMAN
"I'm all for it as it was presented in the Thursday forum. Stu-dents
are not interested in the issue because they have been misin-formed
about it. I think we ought to have a student education pro-gram
by conducting meetings in the dorms and manors on a level
where students can be personally exposed to the student power
concept." SR., EDGREN FIRST FLOOR, NEW WING
"I think the administration of the campus can make the most
accurate appraisals regarding scholarship on campus. I don't think
students ought to take over the campus because this would result
in narrow decisions without the block of information available to
to the administration. Students should serve, however, in an ad-visory
capacity. I just don't have enough faith in the students to
give them more authority." SENIOR, EDGREN PIT
"I don't go for it too much. I don't understand what it is they
want. I'm not interested because I've got studying to do. Most of
my friends are against it too. Partly because the students don't
know much about it (running the school). FRESHMAN, 2ND
OLD, EDGREN
"I would like to see students involved in campus committees,
especially those involved in making dorm and social rules. Mem-bership
on academic committees would also be a good thing. This
would have to be with limited voting power of course." SOPHO-MORE,

On a European tour kick unpar-alleled
by anything in Bethel his-tory,
three Bethel groups will be
making pilgrimages to the Euro-pean
continent this next summer.
The tours have been precipita-ted
by the College Choir who is
chartering a plane with these other
groups in an attempt to provide
a service for other interested
parties, and also to reduce their
own costs for their overseas ven-ture.
Under the organizational leader-ship
of Dwight Jessup will be the
`Associate Tour.' Eligible for the
tour are alumni, and their imme-diate
family members, students,
and employees of the college. All
participating members will be out
some $995 when they land back
in Chicago on July 12th. This
price tag includes everything but
personal expenditures, passport
fees, airport taxes, telephone calls,
and one meal a day in London,
Paris, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and
Oslo.
The tour will have the services
of an experienced multi-lingual
tour manager c u m lecturer
throughout. It will find itself in
first class tourist accommodations
(with private bath 50 percent of
the time, mind you) and using
both air and bus transportation on
the continent.
The tour will be hitting among
other notable spots, London,
Shakespeare country, Amsterdam,
Copenhagen, Sweden, Norway, Ger-many,
Bavarian Alps, Paris, Switz-erland,
Brussels, and Shannon, Ire-land.
It is planned for sheer enjoy-ment
of travel, with no academic
responsibilities involved, say in-formed
sources.
Limit on membership has been
placed at 35, with the tour becom-ing
effective when 20 people have
signed up.

Student Power At Bethel?
"Kids are afraid of it because of the slogan. I don't think the forum
clearly pointed out what student power was. I don't like anything that
causes riots. These matters should be settled in a more intelligent way.
I've seen students take responsibility and make a mess of it. I'd want
to see more stability, more thought, more action. I think student power
should have something more tangible. Students just don't have the
maturity that comes with years of living." Ma Peterson
"I attended the forum and certainly stand behind and advocate the
objectives set forth there. I don't think student power should center
about the petty issues. There is a problem of great student apathy, how-ever.
For the few students who are pushing this, the burden of accept-ing
the responsibilities might be too time consuming. However, I think
the students ought to take steps where they can. I don't think the slogan
is bad. It may be misunderstood, but it has a punch." Pastor Al Glenn
"I don't think I have anything constructive to say at the moment.
It's difficult to say something off the top of my head. I would, however,
be willing to discuss the issue with any student who is interested." Mr.
Disk Ward
"It's hard to comment on this. My initial reaction is that it is not
a strong movement on campus. Judging from the response, it is not
a real problem with the majority of the students. I think the attempts
to establish dialogue are good; we can always use more of that. I would
like to see the students get more involved in something like this." Mr.
Jack Buss

Writer Calls 'Sing
A Mock of Season
To the Editor:
If all things happen as they have
in the past we shall soon see an-other
occurance of one of the big-gest
disappointments Bethel has—
Christmas.
I do not wish to argue whether
we should use a specific day or
season to celebrate the birth of
our Saviour Jesus Christ. It is a
fact that a day and a season are
set aside for this purpose.
But this leads me to a few
questions. If we have a season set
aside for celebrating the birth of
Jesus Christ, why do we allow
what in comparison is trivia to
get into the annual Christmas
"scene"?
What do Santa Claus, Frosty the
Snowman, and an evergreen tree
have to do with the magnificent
love of God? Yet Bethel students
will decorate the doors of their
dormitory rooms with all of these
icons And in a chapel labeled a
"Christmas sing" we will be asked
to sing such songs as "Jingle
Bells."
But perhaps these outward signs
are not as disturbing as the atti-tude
which will cover the Bethel
community. Christmas is a good
time to go home, to knock off
studies, and to have a good time.
We seldom think of those who do
not know what Christmas means;
we prefer to be wrapped up in
ourselves.
I am not trying to be a Scrooge,
and those who know me know, I
trust, that I am not a narrow-minded
fundamentalist, but I do
request that if we have a season
to celebrate the birth of our Sav-iour,
that we use that season to
celebrate the birth of our Saviour.
Christmas marks the supreme
love of God; it should not be con-sidered
as a chance to go home
or decorate our doors. Let's make
Christmas what it should be — a
day of thanks for the Unspeaka-ble
Gift of God.

Reporter Misinterprets Material
Writer Clears Four Departments
To the Editor:
A gross error in reporting o•
curred in a recent Clarion article
which discussed the report of stu-dent
evaluation of the Biology,
English, Chemistry, and Psycholo-gy
deparments and courses. The
injustice against these four Bethel
academic departments must not
go unrectified. According to the
Clarion reporter these courses re-ceived
the lowest rating, several
of the instructors' methods were
questioned, and many students felt
that they would feel guilty in rec-ommending
such courses to a
friend.
The Student Evaluation of Cour-ses
and Instruction made by last
year's Academic Committee did
not classify these departments in
the manner the Clarion erroneous-ly
stated. Although constructive
criticisms were expressed by stu-dents,
reactions were in no way
so negative as suggested by the
Clarion. For example, general
chemistry is described by the re-port
as being quite difficult in
subject matter, with an excessive
work load for the number of cred-its
earned. In his instruction Dr.
Rodgers was rated thorough as
well as excellent. Difficulty of sub-ject
matter and excellence in in-struction
does not imply "worse."
Dr. Collins, of the psychology
department, is likewise now serv-ing
an unearned sentence, when
in fact he receivd only the most
superlative of adjectives and praise
by students responding to the
evaluation.
The English and biology depart-ments
have highly qualified per-sonnel
and also received praise
by students in their respective
courses.
Suffice it to say, the report, a
qualified and statistically interpre-tative
document, is vulnerable to
misinterpretations. The Clarion
published an interpretation, but
unfortunately it was unqualified
and incorrect.
Since I believe I must bear at
least some responsibility for al-lowing
such a misinterpretation to
occur, I wish to apologize to the
departments involved for any em-barrassment
that may have been
caused by them

`Power' Is Not A Program
Seen As A Basic Approach
Student power is not a system, it is not a program, it is not a recipe for anything.
Student power is a state of mind, it is an attitude, it is a point of personal under-standing.
To confuse student power with involvement is as mistaken as identifying attendance on
Wednesday night prayer meeting with being Christian.. Student power is not a concerted effort
to mobilize student energies for involvement.
It may well be true that a person who has made the scene with student power, will
become an active member of many campus organiations, this may not always follow. Nor
are those currently caught up in campus affairs necessarily aware of what student power
means.
As stated elsewhere on this page, the ultimate fate of student power cannot be deter-mined
by whether or not students want it. There is no alternative to the person who is sin-cerely
dedicated to wresting from this school an education.
By virtue of their presence on this campus, we can only assume that the majority of
this campus is intensely aware of the importance of their development as adults. To as-sume
otherwise is to reduce this campus to a high school level.
There are a host of ways in which the students could be helping to remake this college.
The coils of rope are stacked high at almost every turn, suggestive of the need to rethink the
relationship of the individual to the purposes of the school.
The press for activity without a purpose is an adequate solution to the problem. Stu-dent
power is here then, not to prod a lethargic community to action, but to instill an attitude
of concern among students.
Power Slogan Is Currently
Only Viable Alternative A number of campus individuals have expressed some
reservations about the use of the term 'student power'. They
have suggested that the slogan alienates a large sector of the
student body because of its radical ring. In its place, such slo-gans
as 'student responsibility' and 'student maturity' have
been suggested.
There is a very intimate relationship between power and
responsibility. They function together in equal proportion to
each other. When individuals lament the misleading nature of
`student power' and suggested instead 'student responsibility'
they have fallen into the very trap which they so pointedly
decry.
Because of such thistorical precedents at Hitler, Mussolini,
and Stalin, conservative elements of the world are afraid of
the word power because it calls forth associations of violence
and tyranny. They would much rather hear mundane talk of
responsibility.
The Conference is in this sense a conservative group. It
fears the violence that it associates with the syndrome 'power'.
Simply to cater to this weakness is not reason enough to change
the slogan which the campus movement now bears. To change
it to something which is equally misleading is even less reason
to change.
Furthermore, it is politically unrealistic to expect any nor-mal
human being to rally to the call 'student responsibility',
just as it is impossible to picture the French workers storming
the Bastille to the cry, "Duty, Obligation, Maturity"!
We are unafraid of the slogan — it headlines a worthy
cause. Those who fear it should: 1) show why there is cause
to fear either intrinsically, or 2) find a politically viable alter-native
to the present slogan.

A Tower' Definition
"The text for the morning will be taken from the college catalog.
If you have your catalogs with you, please turn with me to page 8,
where I will read from the first paragraph under "Bethel Aims to
Pr()vide a Liberal Arts education." I quote:
The foremost aim of the program in the liberal arts at Bethel
College is to help each person to realize his unique and sacred poten-tialities
and to make his own best contribution to society. The liberal
arts, consequently, are not defined primarily in terms of particular
kinds of courses or subject matter but are distinctive in terms of
basic spirit and purpose and include all aspects of campus experience.
The college attempts to provide an intellectual, social, and spiritual
community in which individuals can grow and learn in a variety of
situations, are encouraged to assume responsibility intelligently, and
may develop a discriminating awareness of and concern for Christian
motives.
I would also like to quote from page 22, under "Values of a Liberal
Education:"
The program at Bethel is designed to develop in each student the
personal qualities which will help him to:
1. Become a mature Christian person in motivation, conviction,
and conduct.
2. Become capable of stating his thoughts and emotions clearly
and effectively.
3. Become broadly intelligent in the major areas of human know-ledge
.. .
"The previous assertions are, I think, basic to a discussion of Student
Power in its Bethel context. The negative connotations attached to
the concept at other colleges and universities need not set the tone of
student power on this campus. The gist of the two quotations from the
catalog centers on student growth in knowledge and understanding, re-sponsibility,
and maturity. These things lie at the heart of student
power.
"I would define Student Power as a position of respect and re-sponsibility
earned by the student body in relation to the administra-tion
whereby we, the students, participate in decision-making.

"I was in and out of the forum, but I thought the point made there
was good. I have had some experience on the Student Personnel Com-mittee,
which has 2 voting student members which I think is a good
balance." Mr. Maurice Shields
"I think it can be carried off well if it is done in a cooperative
manner. The course evaluation idea is a good one if it can be done in
conjunction with the faculty and administration. The students in the
minor have taken a large role in regulating their own social behavior."
Mrs. Mary Sodergren
"I think it's a very good thing. Assumption by the students of
campus responsibility is the very thing we want It seems to be the
most wholesome kind of thing. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't
trust the students most deeply involved in the movement." Mr. Max

Student Forum:-
A 'Power' Definition
from page 2
"This position is "power" whose interest and influence is directed
toward a legitimate concern of each and every student—the quality of
the liberal arts education he or she receives. This is what you and I
pay $1100 for per year, and it is the focal point of student power. Bob
Holyer will elaborate more fully on the academic aims of student power
later.
"In the non-academic realm, student power asks for no more
than the privileges of first class citizenship. As students, we ought
to be mature enough to accept the responsibility of governing and
disciplining ourselves in non-academic areas.
In this realm the concerns of student power range from Bookstore
prices to the establishment of a student judiciary to dorm hours. Ac-cepting
responsibility in these areas is a vital step forward in a college
experience that aims at developing mature and responsible Christian
adults.
"To summarize, student power must work within the principles
of the college, and not in opposition to them. It is a process of working
with the administration, and not against them. Finally it is a matter
of facing responsibility, not shirking from it. And it is precisely this
act of accepting responsibility that defines the boundaries of student
power.
"In closing, let me once again remind you of the two basic objectives
of student power; first, that each student has the privilege of receiving
the finest quality liberal arts education possible, and second, that
during our four years here we may not only be students, but, like the
butcher, baker, and candlestick-maker, first class citizens." Lynn Bergalk.
Thursday, Dectmber 7, 1967
the CLARION Page 3 Student Forum:-
Academia And 'Power'
"With respect to the academic life of Bethel, student power attempts
to provide the student with the highest quality liberal arts education
possible. To facilitate this end student power should attempt to arouse
an interest in the academic issues of the college, to gain for the student
a share in decision-making, and to create an environment that consis-tently
demands mature, critical judgments and a reasonable degree of
intellectual autonomy.
The appeal for student power is grounded in two basic assump-tions.
First, student power assumes that mature students have both
the right and the responsibility to exert an influence on the academic
affairs of the college. Second, we assume that intellectual growth
occurs most rapidly where a critical judgment and a degree of
autonomy are presupposed.
"Comparing this definition with the educational goals presented in
the college catalogue (page 8), it is evident that student power is in
no sense antiethical or antagonistic to faculty, administration, or the
"Bethel ideals." The goal of student power is the only reasonable con-comitant
of Bethel's approach to education.
The real problem of student power, however, is that practice
never adequately supports theory. The day by day academic procedures
bear witness to the ever-widening bifurcation between the ideals of
maturity and responsibility and the practice of intellectual "spoon-feeding."
"This problem, however, is not amenable to a simple solution and
any student-initiated plan, at this point, would be pretentious. The
forte of student power is its ability to delineate an effective starting
point. This starting point is the renovation of broken lines of communi-cation
between the student body and the faculty and administration.
"Specifically, student power could be effective in sponsoring open
forums on topics of general interest and in initiating a course evalu-ation
handled by a committee of students, faculty, and administra-tion.
Student power also has a great potential in the existing faculty
committees.
"By placement of responsible students on all committees, by gaining
equal voting rights, and by establishing communication between these
committees and the student body, students could wield a responsible
and commanding influence.
"The Bethel ideals demand student power; the ability to evaluate
experience critically in terms of a Christian world-view is best devel-oped
in an environment where the student is expected to act and
think critically, responsibly, and autonomously.
"In an institution composed of students, faculty, and administration,
student power asks simply that the student assume his responsibility
to the community."
—Robert Holyer
Senate Passes Request For Equal
Representation On Committees
Terry Carlson
Pulsating across American col-leges
and universities is a student
movement for power. Unlike the
proponents of these discontented
movements the Bethel Senate and
other highly interested concerns
on campus are striving to define
and see effected student action
along avenues relevant to Bethel
College. The essence of such a
movement was discussed in forum
last Thursday after chapel.
At the student power forum John
P. Larson emphasized the fact that
"student power" is balanced by
student responsibility. Mr. Larson's
contention in part projected that
the means of student participation
in responsible areas on campus
was as limited as most high school
situations.
Further, since we who attend
college are supposed to be gaining
proper training to handle situa-tions
and organizations as adults,
it is evident that a high school
setting will not teach us this re-sponsibility.
An example of more
effective participation in the whole
of college life was introduced into
the Senate Monday evening by L.
Ray Sammons.
Mr. Sammons bill passed the
Student Senate as a request to the
faculty and administration that
equal membership of students be
given on campus committees such
as, Educational Policy, Student
Personnel, Administration and Ac-ademics
Programs, Athletic Poli-cies,
Chapel and Spiritual Life,
and Convocation and Special
Weeks committees. This measure
does not imply equal voting rights
but merely equal representation.
It is a step in the right direction
in light of the goals suggested at
the student power forum.
"My colleagues have already expressed their frustration at the
gross misrepresentation suffered by the student power issue. As the
CLARION has stated time and again, the student power movement is
not a plot to wrest from the administration the right to make decisions.
It is something far bigger than even that. It is a plot to awaken among
the students a realization that this community is theirs.
"Its well being is in the interests of its members, and it is only
right, it is only logical, that we should take up a role commensurate
with that. More specifically, I see student power as an attempt to
focus and consolidate student opinion, bringing it to bear on the
decision-making centers on campus.
"One thing needs to be made very clear. Our inability to change
this campus has been a result of despair and a feeling of impotence
arrlong the students. Student power can be a reality. If only 20% of the
students could convince themselves that this campus could turn from a
pumpkin into a coach it would happen.
"Let's talk about what power means. Student power is a personal
crisis for you and me. High School and college are fundamentally
different. H.S. is a six year cafeteria line of this and that. Its purpose
is to equip each student with the raw materials which change a boy
into a man, a girl into a woman. College is where that takes place.
College is intended to bring out the man and the woman in you and me.
"I ask you, how can we ever expect to become adults when we are
operating on a system that is more parental than some High Schools.
Responsibility for this campus is sitting squarely above the adminis-tration.
As long as that is the case, students will never learn what it is
to be responsible for themselves, much less others.
"Here's where the bite comes in. Student power is asking you and
me to set aside childish pretenses and become the men and women
we must be. To cut the umbilical cord that nursed us through our
high school stage and let college do to us what it is intended to do.
"When students realize that responsibility for the campus rests
on their shoulders, then and only then can we expect a common pride
in our institution and an esprit de corps among the students.
"The effects of such a feeling are limitless. Those who whimper
about poor spirit at athletic events, those who are dissatisfied with
the academic standard, hose infected with cynicism about the future
of this institution would see their aspirations stir to life—of that I
Eric Marshals
Power Influence
Our CLARION observer, while
sleuthing through the halls recent-ly
posed to Eric the grounds keep-er
what Student Power could do
for the campus as he saw it.
His answer was direct, and
to the point, "You can keep the
kids off the grass." He went on
to explain the situation has been
steadily deteriorating in the last
several years.
He traces the problem to two
sources. Sometime ago, as Eric
recalls, a chapel speaker made
some comment about his flowers,
and how he so meticulously cared
for them. Apparently the speaker
made the reference with some
amusment. Since that time, stu-dents
have deliberately chosen to
neglect the unwritten law of the
campus greens.
Secondly, Eric took a trip two
years ago to the Homecountry.
On returning, he discovered that
students had departed from their
heretofore behavior, and mali-ciously
trampled the grass in
the mad rush to the post office.
Today, claims Eric, he is un-able
to control the hordes of chap-el
goers that ignore the sidewalks.
He emphasizes that with some dis-gust,
in his Swedish accent, that
the students are simply too lazy.
He threatened to put up a sign
saying 'Please Don't Walk On The
Sidewalks'.
Actually, says Eric, the grass
is hurt most in the Spring. If
campus chapelgoers continue to
take shortcuts after the winter
is over, the lawn will be ser-iously
affected. "If the kids want
the grounds to look like an ele-mentary
school playground,
that's all right with me," he
says. Our observer felt however,
that it was not all right with
him.
He whispered confidentially that
such campus leaders as Dr. Lund-quist
are afraid to say anything
about he grass problem publicly
because it would seriously affect
their popularity with the students.
have no doubt.
So far it's been up in the air pretty much. What must be done?
First of all, the students must assume the disciplinary function presently
executed by the dean of students office. In 1964, under the deanship of
Webster Muck, the discipline problem was offered to the students
via the Senate. After some consideration, the students turned the offer
down.
That option is still open to the students. The administration looks
favorably upon such a set up. I think it would be a big step toward the
realization of student power if the Senate accepted this responsibility.
The court would consist of a student board with perhaps an advisor
from the dean's office as a non-voting member. The mechanics of
this set up could be ironed out by the Senate once we have agreed to
take on this function.
Some students have privately expressed to me apprehension about
partiality and leniency on the part of such a court. I think the record
will bear me out — the history of such boards on other campuses have
proven that peer courts are less lenient than administrative officers.
Not only that, but the incidents of poor behavior have sharply declined.
In talking with administrative leaders, I have sensed that they
are amenable to a new role for the students. There is a great deal of
slack rope which we can take in. Both Bob Holyer and Jim Hammar
have mentioned what some of these might be. There are many more
that simply need to be uncovered by aggressive, intense students.
Many students have stated that they do not want student power.
Student power is not necessarily something students should want, it is
something they ought to have. That must be clear.
This campus is yours, it is mine, it is molding your life and mine.
In the interests of our futures, and the future of the college, I
maintain that we must start becoming adults now. That necessitates
accepting responsibility—that is finally what student power is. Call
it what you will—but that is what we are advocating.
Paul states in his first letter to the Corinthians, "When I was a
child I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
But when I became a man I gave up my childish ways." Student power
has slaked itself out on this process, we invite you to join us in this
effort to realize maturity on a campus wide basis.

The Bethel Debate Squad sallied
out into varsity competition for
the second time over the weekend
of the 18 and 19 of November in
a bout at Bradley University. On
the team were Steve Nelson and
Jon W. Peterson, as well as Deb-by
Sperry, and Sandra Strege. The
team came off with a 5-5 record
having beaten Wheaton and sev-eral
other notable schools in the
competition.
Bethel was facing top competi-tion
as it faced such name schools
as Purdue, Indiana State, Ripon,
Fort Wayne, and University of Il-linois,
Urbana.
Advisor to the group, Fred Lund.
Bethel alumni with a distinctive
debating record, is coaching the
team in its outings. He stated
to the CLARION that the debate
squad had recently participated
in the Twin Cities Debate League
Tournament. During this round of
debates, Steve Nelson and Jon Pe-terson
had copped fourth place in
the 'B' division having successful-ly
debated in three matches, and
suffering no defeats
This year's Resolved: 'That the
Federal Government Should Guar-antee
a Minimum Annual Cash In-come
To All Its Citizens', has pre-cipitated
several new debating
techniques, including some rather
devious comparative advantage ap-proaches.
November 30-December 2, the
squad sent several teams to a
power match tournament in Ames,
Iowa. This trip included a lar-ger
number of the debate class
who debate in the novice division.
Also on the menu is a trip to
the Whitewater Wisconsin Tour-nament
in which the debate team
will be accompanied by several
forensics competitors under t h e
direction of Mr. Dale Rott.

"Student Power is a national movement to gain more democratic
self-government for students. The National Student Association has
defined it as a movement to gain control of policy making which affects
student curricular and extra-curricular activities. Students should have
exclusive control of the following areas:
1. registration, chartering, and regulation of student organizations
and activities
2. student government and student activities financing
3. regulation of cultural programming
4. determination of dormitory hours and visitation policies
5. establishment of any housing regulations
6. establishment of any social or recreational regulations
7. all disciplinary decisions regarding the violation of student regula-tions
Further, students should have joint control in the determination of
administrative and educational policies such as:
1. course requirements
2. academic calendar
3. admissions policies
4. financial aid policies
5. building and grounds planning
6. any and all college services (e.g. bookstore, food service)
7. hiring and dismissal of faculty and administrative personnel
8. grading systems and appeals on grades
"The present position of Bethel's Student Senate is that of an ex-tensive
service organization. Money is appropriated by the administra-tion
for disbursement by the Senate to Clarion, Spire, Coeval, WBCS,
and events such as Homecoming, etc.
"The Senate does not function as a regulation making body. However,
the possibilities for taking responsibility are open if students show
that they are interested in control. For example, more representation
on faculty committees could be acquired by seeking it out and showing
a concern for the policies that are being made.
"And the possibilities of establishing a student judiciary in con-nection
with the dean's office are wide open. Bethel students can have
the power of responsibility and the responsibility of power if they
want it."

Some of the richest ornaments
of every Christmas season are the
numerous concerts, dramas, and
religious festivals staged in coun-try
chapel and concert hall in the
Nativity celebration.
The St. Paul-Minneapolis vi-cinity
itself promises to be ring-ing
with such activity once again
this year. One of the most at-tractive
presentations in the area
is that of Bethel's own 'Festival

this week, performing the bari-tone
solo in Honegger's "Cantate
de Noel" with the Minneapolis
Civic Orchestra at Coffman Me-morial
Union.
The cantata, by this contemp-orary
French composer, is written
for orchestra, organ, children's
choir, and baritone solo, and con-sists
of an interweaving of Christ-mas
carols in the Latin, French,
and German languages.
Dan, who is president of Beth-el's
Male Chorus, performed two
solos in the cantata, one in Latin,
and the other in French. Some
parts of the work calling for a
children's choir were sung by Miss
Carolyn Bailey, a locally recog-nized
soprano, and wife of Dr.
Argenta, an internationally known
composer with the University of
Minnesota.
Dan's procurance of the baritone
solo came as a result of voice

"Whew! This is the longest

the comment that marked the gen-eral
consensus among Bethel's
Abnormal Psychology class as we
returned from Hastings State Hos-pital
Sunday noon.
The weekend was an exhausting
one, but it was also one of value.
First of all, we were thrown into a
laboratory experience as volun-teers
on the seven different wards.
As we, in groups of three, involved
ourselves on each ward, we were
able to observe the symptoms of
abnormal behavior that we had
been studying thus far this semes-ter.
Second, we were enlightened as
to the need for educated staff in

The bookstore has caught the
Christmas spirit and with it, has
acquired the "giving" spirit. This
year, as in several past years,
the Bethel bookstore will award
a $50 grant-in-aid to one fresh-man
student who is nominated
through the Campus-Pac coupons.
The award is restricted to fresh-man,
explains Mr. Bergerud, book-store
manager, because they are
not yet eligible for any other
grants so early in their college
careers.
It is to be emphasized that scho-larship
is not the major consider-ation
in the grant. An individual
must first be nominated on the
Campus-Pac coupons a sufficient
number of times to make him one
of the ten persons with the high-est
votes.
At this stage, the ten nomina-tions
are placed in the hands of
the Student Personnel Committee,
the faculty - student committee
which handles all matters affect,
ing the campus life of the stu-dent.
This committee is headed by
Dr. Gary Collins, and has as its
student members, Merry Pat Wahl-in
and Dave Biddle.
large institutions such as Hastings
Station Hospital. The staff there
is so limited that hope for a pa-tient
to return to his original state
of mental health is in serious jeop-ardy.
Obviously, the program needs to
be re-evaluated and re-organized
in order that it become more at-tractive
to the many personnel
who are educated in the field of
psychology.
Finally, we travelled as a group
to each ward singing Christmas
carols, folk songs, and old-time fav-orites
such as "Let Me Call You
Sweetheart" on Saturday evening.
A decision is made by this body
primarily on the basis of need,
although the need factor must be
supplemented with such attributes
as personality, attitude, and ade-quate
scholarship. To the winner
goes the $50 grant which is ap-plied
to his tuition for the sec-ond
semester of this year.
It is through the sales of the
Campus Pac in the bookstore that
money is available to be awarded.
Contained in the Campus Pac is
$2 - $3 of manufactured products,
usually toilet and grooming arti-cles,
which the student can purch-ase
for 35c. The bookstore obtains
the Campus Pac from its distribu-tor
at 25c, the 10c profit being
accumulated into a sizeable grant.

All things so far point to a fine season for this year's
Junior Varsity basketball team. Although starting on a losing
note, the boys have come back with two straight victories.
The future looks bright!
This year's varsity squad proved that they are capable of
playing some fine basketball this year. Playing 'heads up'
ball both offensively and defensively, the Royals scored an
upset victory over the confident Augsburg ball club.
Earlier in the week, Augsburg's coach, Ernie Anderson,
called Royal coach Jack Trager and asked to call off the Friday
game. 'Ole Ern' thought that his boys would 'walk all over us'
and didn't think the game would be worth the effort.
After receiving word of the call, the Royals went out to
prove that Augsburg's coach was all wet. As the score shows,
Bethel did a pretty convincing lob. It seems that Augsburg
did the inhaling.
Sioux Falls guard, Ron Kraal, number 11 in last Saturday
evening's ball game, made the Little All America Squad last
year for his near 30 point scoring average. Although he didn't
have one of his better nights last Saturday, canning only 23,
anyone with a little basketball `know-how' who was in the stands
could see his ability.
This week, Bethel will be playing two games here in the
Cities. Thursday night they will be at Hamline and Saturday
night they tackle Macalester. Both games start at 7:30 P.M.
Several of the fellows on the team have mentioned to me
how they appreciated the cheers from the crowd. The squad
members would encourage attendance at these up coming
`away' games.

Last Friday night, the Bethel
College Royals opened their home
basketball season with an impres-sive
94-84 victory over Augsburg
College.
The players put on a fine dis-play
of endurance as they came
on strong in the second half to
overcome a 7-point deficit. Ron
Pederson played a fantastic ball
game, scoring 43 points and pull-ing
down many rebounds.
Tim Weko also got a good share
of rebounds and added fourteen
counters.. Dick Robertson played
a good offensive game, canning a
total of 19. Dan Larson and Bob
Brodin, both freshman, did a fine
job in their first varsity stints.
Dan was 7 for 7 from the free
throw line.
Augsburg had two men in dou-ble
figures. Roger Swanson and
Ron Nelson each had 18 counters.
However, Saturday night the
Royals ran into some thick flak
and fell victim to Sioux Falls by
the convincing score of 103-61.

nights in succession as well as

VictoriousTwice
Bethel's Junior Varsity Basket-ball
Squad is doing a sterling job
on the court this year. Thus far,
their record stands at two wins and
one loss. After losing to St. Cloud
over the Thanksgiving holidays,
the Royals have come back strong-ly
with wins over Augsburg and
St. Thomas.
Last Friday night the Royals
humbled Augsburg by a score of
92-67. Lowell Richardson, a fresh-man
from Sioux Falls, South Dak-ota,
led the scoring spree with 24
points. Freshman John Lundgren ;
from Omaha, Nebraska, netted a
total of 20.
Dan Larson led the squad in
counters during the second victory,
racking up a total of 15. Dean
Erickson and Richardson both scor-ed
14 with Lundgren adding 13.
Good scoring depth and adept
usage of the 'fast break' have been
the keys to these Royal victories.
In addition to the above players,
Larry Johnson, 'Fritz' Fredeen,
Tom Scott, Sam Cook, and Gordy

sloppy ball handling, the game
was a resounding defeat for the
Royal netmen. Failure to sweep
the boards, and a basically 'cold'
night offensively let the Chiefs
outclass the home team.
Although scoring 28 points, Ron
Pederson played very poorly in
comparison to his brilliant per-formance
the previous night
against Augsburg. Tim Weko ran
into foul trouble committing his
fifth and final personal foul early
in the second half.
