Daniel Morstad, a Sears repre-sentative,
said that "the purpose

He went on to say that "Sears
still sells the good old established
lines, but what most young people
don't know is that Sears offers
he latest in today's styles in their
young junior and university shops."
The purpose of the fashion show
on campus, according to Morstad,
is to enable Sears to keep a close
alliance between its fashion board
and the buyer. This helps Sears
to select and stock "the most ex-citing
in apparel."

Six senators-at-large and the executive cabinet will be elected in
the All School Elections today and Friday. Polls are open from noon
to 4 p.m. both days.
The failure of two declared candidates to turn in petitions to the
election board trimmed candidates for the six senator-at-large seats
to six. Except for the presidency, all executive offices have only one
declared candidate.
Last Friday's primary reduced the contest for Student Body Pres-ident
to a two-way race between junior Greg Taylor and sophomore
Chuck Myrbo. Taylor polled 88 votes in the primary to lead the field,
while Myrbo followed with 69 to join Taylor in the finals. Larry Day,
with 56 votes, was eliminated from the race.
Candidates for other executive offices are Dave Shupe, vice-presi-dent;
Cindy Simkins, treasurer; and Ed Soule, campus coordinator. ED SOULE and CINDY SIMKINS,

The College Conference on the
Ministry is scheduled for April 5
at Bethel Theological Seminary.
According to Dave Wedeking,
chairman of the committee plan-ning
the program, "The purpose
of the conference is primarily to
present the ministry as an option
for vocational choice, and second-ly
to acquaint those considering
church related work with the fa-cilties
of Bethel Seminary."
Paul Siwek and Wayne Hau-ser
are committee members
working with Wedeking in plan-ning
the fourth annual Confer-ence.
The program is designed
to help individuals become aware
of the varied ministries related
to church vocations and to ser-iously
consider God's call to
them.
The conference will offer those
attending the chance to become
familiar with Bethel Seminary's
program regarding the ministry
and other church related work
needing seminary training. It will
also provide an opportunity for
interested students to interact with
professors and seminary students.
A full day of activities have
been planned, beginning with
registration at 8 p.m. and an ori-entation
period at 8:30. Students

by Jim Brand officialdom. He is not viewed,
however, as out-of-bounds by
many rank-and-file Democrats.
Many long-time Democrats have
come out in support of his cam-paign.
They comprise an import-ant
leadership sector in his camp.
The other sector is made up
mainly of new-comers who object
to present Vietnam policies. These
new-corners can be further divi-ded
into academic (faculty and stu-dent),
religious, and frustrated
"Joe Citizen" groups.

not have presidential primaries.
It is important to realize that
only one-third of the delegates to
the Democratic national convention
are chosen by primaries. The
others emerge from the smoke-filled
back rooms where party of-ficials
always have great influence.
In recent years qualified individuals interested in taking
the reigns of student government or the editorship of the vari-ous
student publications have been in short supply. The prob-lem
is obvious, yet concrete efforts to alleviate it have been
nearly nonexistent.
Elections have again focused attention on the shortage
of candidates for senate and executive offices. There are sel-dom
more than three or four candidates for the presidency,
although additional students would have declared this year if
academic requirements had been removed. Hard times have
fallen upon publications, too, and here the dearth of ready,
willing, and able leadership has, at times, been even more
striking.
Stipends of varying amounts have been allocated for stu-dent
body president, and CLARION, SPIRE, and COEVIL edi-tors,
but they have often accomplished little more than insuring
that someone will somehow be persuaded to take the job. Al-though
the financial renumeration is modest it is not so inade-quate
that qualified students would not consider the above
positions solely for that reason.
The senate attempted to "encourage" participation in stu-dent
government by proposing an amendment that would eli-minate
academic qualifications from office holding. Such a
measure is unsound, and was so judged by the student body
which decisively rejected the change. Hopefully, there are
more progressive measures which might ease the problem.
It is true, as the proponents of the amendment argued,
that such a change would increase the number of candidates
seeking student government posts, particularly the presidency.
They point out that apparently students who have distinguished
themselves academically, who have shown leadership potential,
or who seem well-qualified for office, too often have no desire
to involve themselves with student government. A similar situ-ation
exists in student publications.
Consequently, the student body complains about student
government, is dissatisfied with the choice of candidates run-ning
for election, bemoans a literary magazine that unobtru-sively
slips out at the end of the year, and finds a good
deal of other shortcomings with their publications and govern-ment.
Too many observers see this problem as simply a lack of
individuals willing to perform certain tasks. However, the real
problem is not this shortage, but the reasons for it. WHY are
qualified students unwilling to assume the responsibility of
these positions?
If the reasons underlying this reluctance are viewed as
the real problem, it becomes apparent that efforts to lower
qualifications could fill positions but would only elude any
meaningful solution. It is not the qualifications or standards
that pertain to particular positions which need re-evaluation;
rather the existing system of renumeration must be re-assessed
if publication editorships and the student presidency are to
consistently attract top students.
NEXT WEEK: what changes need to be made. L. B.
As the warm breezes of spring descend on the
Bethel campus and as the frozen northern tudra
thaws to reveal a idyllic Garden of Eden, the student
mind flees the concern of the academic world. The
heart pulsates at the thought of spring and at the
sight of happy Bethelites frolicking on the campus.
However, as one drifts back to reality, ones
blissfully bucolic bubble is burst by the prospect
of the upcoming senate elections. That militant
group of political radicals heretofore confined to
the dank recesses of the College building base-ment
will force its presence upon us as we are
faced with the problems of selecting senate offi-cers
for next year.
The problems of the senate are perennial. The
most obvious is the dearth of candidates vying for
senate positions reflecting the general lack of inter-est
in senate activities. This year, however, we are
fortunate to have at least one candidate for every
office and the current tooth and nail struggle between
the six candidates for senator-at-large contending
for six offices promises to be of interest.
As a testimony of the high quality education
at Bethel, there also appears to be an absence of
relevant issues; all the meaningful questions have
been answered. With the possible exception of the
debate on the role of student senate, candidates
frankly admit that there are no issues facing sen-ate
and it seems unthinkable that senate should
try to create any.
The senate also suffers from lack of power. Un-able
to deal with the weighty issues, senate has
been called a "service club" by some and a variety
of less complimentary things by others. Unable to
enlist the support of students or administration, the
senate currently has about as much influence as a
pacifist in a street brawl.
These and other problems have caused many
to rumor a "Senate-is-Dead" movement, the total
negation of all organized student government on
Bethel's campus.
However, senate has become an institution — if
nothing else — and it must be saved at all costs. The
solution to the whole problem is to convert senate

then and "McCarthy for President'
banners brought mostly laughter.
Now, however, McCarthy is given
serious consideration and coverage.
What happened to bring about
this change? The answer is suc-cess—
limited but meaningful suc-cess.
On March 5 McCarthy forces
began the take-over of large por
tions of the Minnesota Democra-tic
Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) by
winning many precinct caucuses.
The three Congressional Dis-tricts
that comprise the Twin
City and suburban area went
overwhelmingly to McCarthy.
Since a precinct is the smallest
official organization unit in the
DFL (e.g., Falcon Heights pre-cinct
2 is bounded by Snelling,
Larpenteur, Hamline, and Hoyt),
the take-over began at the
"grass-roots" level.
On March 12 McCarthy scored
another "victory" in the New
Hampshire primary. Although he
polled less votes than LBJ (49 per-cent
to 42 percent) in the Demo-cratic
primary, the amazing thing
was that McCarthy received such
a large percentage against an in-cumbent
president who had the de-clared
backing of the state's Dem-ocratic
officials. One newspaper re-port
said that, counting the write-in
votes for McCarthy in the Re-publican
half of the New Hamp-shire
primary, Senator McCarthy
came within 312 votes of LBJ.
Senator McCarthy is clearly a
rebel within present Democratic
The over-all national co-ordina-tion
for the McCarthy campaign
has come from several groups car-rying
such names as Concerned
Democrats. These groups have been
planning anti-administration action
within the Democratic Party for
some time.
They presently carry respon-sibility
for co-ordinating the
growing and complex anti-Viet-nam
war and anti-LBJ move-ment.
Excellent organization
from the national to the precinr,
level has been a vital key to the
McCarthy success..
The blossoming McCarthy suc-cess
has limitations that political
realists are quick to point out. First
and foremost the pro-McCarthy men
face pro-Johnson Democratic lea-dership
all over the nation.
The political future of many
of these officials rides with the
success or failure of LBJ (or so
they think). They can use their
official positions to influence
policies rather decissively. Pres-ent
Democratic leadership is
extremely important in deter-mining
policy and candidate de-cisions
in those states which do
This leaves McCarthy some-where
outside the American poli-tical
continuum as they see it, for
McCarthy's positions are more
those of a Northern (sub)urban
liberal. Southern Democrats are
more likely to support George
Wallace than Eugene McCarthy.
To further complicate matters,
mop-haired, youth-idol (?), poli-tical
opportunist (?), "Bobby"
Kennedy has tossed his name
into the rapidly filling candidate
hopper. Undoubtedly he repre-sents
power—dynastic power and
popularity power.
In this respect he could be a
valuable ally in the Democratic an-ti-
LBJ movement. But he has en-tered
some state primaries as a
potential enemy of McCarthy. This
could split the anti-LBJ movement
and make it ineffective.
The final limitation on the Mc-
Carthy movement is that other
half of the American political spec-trum—

Student 'River of Free Labor'
Changes Nation's Political Scene
New York, New York, March 13,
1968—The dynamic campaign ef-fort
by college students from all
over the country clearly played
a vital role in Senator Eugene Mc-
Carthy's impressive showing in the
New Hampshire primary. Well over
a thousand students took on the
full gamut of campaign jobs —
from ringing door bells and writ-ing
speeches, to driving cars and
licking stamps. Many observers be-lieve
the students' enthusiasm also
had a significant psychological ef-fect
on the campaign.
Reaction to this student political
activism was widespread in both
pre- and post-election analysis.
Just prior to the New Hampshire
vote, Mary McGory wrote in her
nationally syndicated column that
McCarthy's student support was "a
river of free labor that could
change the face of American poli-ties."
Most of the election-night com-mentators
referred to the sudents ;
and in is lead editorial this mor-ning,
the New York Times stated
that the McCarthy victory was "a
testament to the efforts of the
students and other citizens who
enlisted in his campaign for
peace."
Perhaps the most important con-clusion
to be drawn from this first
1968 primary is not related either
to the candidates or the issues. It
is very possibly something much
broader. Namely that effective, ar-ticulate
expression of political
opinion by students, combined with
their active participation in the
political process, can significantly
affect the outcome of elections and
the shape of American politics.
A second conclusion is equally
irrefutable. Massive student parti-cipation
in CHOICE 68 can and will
affect the course of American poli-tics
in 1968.

Opinions expressed In the CLARION do not
necessarily reflect the position of the college
or seminary.
Cynic Seer Sees Senate Slip Slowly
into a gospel team. Granted this sounds ludicrous at
first hearing, but a conscientious consideration of the
pragmatic aspects of the situation will prove the
point.
First, since senate has no issues, no power, and
no participation its presence on campus would not
be missed.
Second, by becoming a gospel team the senate
could bolster its power. Since in its new function it
would appeal to the constituency and since the con ,
stituency is the real source of power at Bethel, such
a move would create influence for the group.
Also by taking a free-will offering at the local
churches, senate could become self-supporting and
perhaps even initiate a scholarship fund for needy
faculty and administration members.
Third, senate could effectively enlist student sup-port.
By the marked decline in attendance from chapel
to covocation, it is obvious that the Bethel student is
much more interested in religion than in politics.
Also since choral groups and gospel teams are quite
popular on campus and since the new senate would,
combine both of these features, it could become the
most sought after group among students.
Fourth, this would alleviate the problems of
spring elections. Instead of the usual political
speeches and campaigning, we could audition candi-dates
for office.
The president would have to be an able preacher,
the campus coordinator would have to be an expert
song leader, the treasurer would have to know the
proper techniques for speaking for an offering, and
the secretary would have to know how to play the
piano.
The senators-at-large would have to form a
male quartet and the representatives would have
to form a small choir, a soprano, an alto, a tenor,
and a bass from each class.
Realizing that such a plan will not meet with
sweeping success 'among intellectuals or political
purists—they're only an insignificant minority any-how—
the pragmatic benefits, which far outweigh the
theoretical objections, will commend this plan to the
mass of voters.

Stagg Explains Unique Qualities
Of Japanese Dramatic Literature Senate Candidates State Positions
4 •
by Dave Stagg Bethel Contemplates Spring Election
The performance days of the
Japanese Dramas are fast ap-proaching,
and some word of ex-planation
as to the aims and out-look
of such a production may be
of value to the Bethel audience.
This production is not an at-tempt
to duplicate the perfection
of a Theatre that has developed
in a consistent style over a per-iod
of 700 years. It is rather, an
effort to bring to the Partici-pants
and Audience both, a cer-tain
number of the qualities of
this style.
The use of the original Japanese
dramatic literature (in translation) ;
with its lyrical mode and almost
austere content, the beauty of the
costuming, and a unique relation-ship
between the dialogue and the
action that does not exist in this
particular manner in the history
of the western theatre, are some
of the qualities that this produc-tion
is attempting to reveal. The
audience should come expecting to
be exposed to a certain flavor of
the Japanese theatre, not its dup-lication
in toto.
One should come noticing the
mood and setting established by
the lights and staging arrange-ments
and music, the distinc-tions
revealed by costume differ-ences
between characters, as
well as other distinctions of so-cial
position and status.
The particular relationship be-tween
the speaker and the one who
is acting out the words is one
which must be understood to gain

the full significance of the style.
The only comparison to be made
in the western theatre is the USE.
of the chorus in the Greek era,
but even this is not a totally ac-curate
one.
One last item that is of inter-est,
is the use of dance in the
Japanese theatre in the explana-tion
of the plot. For various rea-sons,
we are not able to use a
great deal of this art.
The most important of these is
the fact that the dance is recorded
no where but in the minds of those
great Japanese masters who have
spent their entire lives (and the
generations of their families before
them) in the learning and perfec-tion
of this amazing art. Neverthe-less,
the smooth lyrical qualities
of the dance is something we have
tried to capture, in part.
It is hoped that the Bethel audi-ence
will gain some cultural ana
aesthetic benefit from this pro-duction,
based on the beauty am
grace of a theatre tradition as
unique as any in the world.
by Tom Mesaros
Last Friday night the Bethel
community heard the political
philosophies of some of the can-didates
running for office in this
week's All School Election. Six out
of eleven candidates attended the
coffee shop gathering.
SENATE CANDIDATES
Beginning with candidates for
senator-at-large, Warren Magnu-son
exclaimed that he intended to
do "a good job" if elected. His
idea of a "good job" consisted of
two elements: attendance at all sen-ate
meetings, and fair considera-tion
of all issues before the Sen-ate.
"Please vote for me," Warren ;
promising to do his best, appealed
to the students in his closing
phrase.
Leonard Sammons, the next
speaker, saw the senate as a
failure now, yesterday, and to-morrow.
Feeling that the Senate
will never amount to anything
due to great opposition. Leon-ard
said that we still must
TRY as a student body, and that
he would TRY as a senator.
He sees the school as three
parts with three purposes: faculty,
which teaches; students, who
learn; and the administration,
which makes its all possible. He
feels that the students need a
voice to communicate with the
other two branches of the school
structure; this voice is a senate
comprised 'of responsible students.
When questioned, Leonard sta-ted
that his basic goal was "the
college at its very best." In clos-ing
Leonard suggested that stu-dents
look for his platform in
the P.O.'s this week.
Wayne Eller, the last candidate
for senator-at-large to speak, ap-proached
his audience by stating
that he might have withdrawn
from the race but had decided to
stay in it in order to please his
mother and to have something
good on his record.
Wayne suggested that we have
inter - campus activities with
other schools such as Hamline,
Macalester, and Augsburg; by
doing this we can promote Beth-el
to students at these schools
and gain their respect for Bethel
as an educational institution.
Wayne also felt concern f o r
more student participation in the
daily chapels. Labeling chapel
"Pastor Glenn's Amateur Hour,"
Wayne felt that sometimes the
spiritual hour on campus did
not reach college caliber.
A time for questions was then
held for the three senatorial can
didates present. One dominant
question was student participatioA
in reviewing and selecting faculty
Wayne strongly believed that
students did not have the capa-bilities
for such responsibility.
His opinion was that "we are at
Bethel to achieve these capabili-ties
but not until we have the
education of our superiors will
we be able to judge the faculty."
Leonard disagreed. Pointing to
the fact that students are the ones
in the classrooms, Leonard stated
that the sudents knew where aca-demic
help was needed. Further-more,
Leonard cited that European
students were at one time the ad-ministrations
of institutions and
controlled the 'selection of the fac-ulty.
CAMPUS COORDINATOR
Candidates for cabinet offices
followed the senator-at-large can-.
didates. The only candidate for
campus coordinator, Ed Soule, was
first to explain his position. Ed
felt qualified because of his close
friendship with Larry Day, the in-cumbent
in this office. Feeling that
friendship helped him acquire
knowledge for the job, Ed proceed-ed
to explain what the position
involved.
The main purpose of the campus
coordinator is setting up the cal-endar
for the year's activities. Any-one
wishing to put something on
the school calendar must work
through him. Ed mentioned that
the campus coordinator would have
the resonsibility of setting up in-ter-
campus activities of the type
suggested by Wayne Eller earlier
in the program.
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
Chuck Mybro, running for the
presidentcy of the 'student body,
was next to speak. Chuck sees the
senate as a service organization.
Citing the many functions of the
senate (e.g., sponsoring homecom-ing,
Spire, Coeval, etc.), Chuck
pointed out that the senate was
really a help to the administra-tion
and school because it does a
great deal of work which the school
would otherwise have to pay some-one
else to do.
Chuck went on to say that our
senate is like other senates in
other schools except that it does
not possess policy making pow-ers
as other senates possess
these powers.
Since the senate is not able to
perform its proper function of
representing the students because
of administrative "ready-made" de-cisions
presented "to the student
body as unquestionable facts of
life," Chuck stated that two prob-lems
have resulted: t h e senate
isn't serving its proper function,
and, secondly, most students are
unaware that it is serving any func-tion
at all.
His antedote to these prob-lems
are positive, imaginative,
and responsible leadership.
Chuck stressed that he would
and could get the senate pointed
in the right direction.
Presidential candidate Greg Tay-lor
was the final speaker of the
evening. Greg remarked that Beth-el
had been drifting in the absence
of a permanent dean. To get go-ing
again, Bethel needs a dean,
more purpose than that of build-ing
a new campus, and more of
a Christian witness to the commu-nity.
Greg compared the school to
a blast furnace which needed re-building,
suggesting that if re-pair
did not come soon, the
implement would be irrepar-able.
Students can help in the
rebuilding through a responsi-ble
and concerned senate under
responsible leadership.
A question period for the pres-idential
candidates followed their
remarks. An important question di-rected
to Greg was "What is the
need for a senate?" He answered
that it was needed as a link be-tween
administration and students
plus a structure between students
and the outside world; responsi-bility
will make it effective.
Chuck's answer consisted of
an initial statement that the ad-ministration
needed the senate
to promote the activities he
mentioned earlier; however, it is
a STUDENT senate and should
be a student force reflecting
student opinions.
The general questions of student
power coupled with student apa-thy
and how this affects Bethel
as a Christian school hung over
the crowd. Chuck felt that stu-dents
should not be denied some
authority just because Bethel was
a Christian college. He considered
the Christian tie as a close bond
which could promote more under-standing
in this area.
Greg, however, took a different
approach. Feeling that the student
power push got no where this year
because it did not have a cause,
Greg admitted that this year had
been a poor one for issues. No one
wants to get involved in poor is-sues
so not one got involved in the
poor senate. But Greg appeared
confident that, as president, he
could help initiate issues that
would counteract current problems
of apathy on campus.

Off Campus No. 2, the dark
horse of the I-M tournament, came
from behind to tip Falcon 61-57.
After jumping out of the frying
pan of First Floor with a one point
victory upset, O.C. No. 2 jumped
into the Falcon fire and started
out cold.
Managing only two field goals
in the first ten minutes, the under-dogs
fell behind by as much as 11
points. Then as Falcon cooled off
a bit, Steve Peterson and Tom
Swanson combined their shooting
talents to bring them within four
at the half, 31-27. Fred Swedberg
led the Falcon attack with 13 in
the first half while Paul Johnson
added eight. Steve and Tom had
nine and seven respectively.
The second half started out
with a cool deliberate game by
both teams. They each played
good ball on even terms. Then
with about five minutes left,
0. C. No. 2 started chipping
away the Falcon lead.
With only a couple minutes left,
they pulled ahead to become the
tournament champions with a 61-
57 victory. Steve Peterson's 14
points in the last half gave him
game honors with 23 points. John
Delich tallied nine points in the
winning half.
Fred Swedberg finished with 21
for the losers and Paul V. John-son
ended with 14. The game was
one of the better played of the
season and John Carmean and
Al Selader did a very commend-able
job behind the whistles.
In the preliminary, First Floor
B team outscored the B league all-stars
30-12 to walk away by a
score of 54-29. Larry Swanson and
Jim Carlson had 13 and 12 for
the victors, while Pit's Larry Van
Epps had ten for the stars.

Intramural Plans
Co-ed Badminton is starting this
week. Second New's Don Lindberg
and Miss Morgan are the favorites
along with Miss Starr of the Fac-ulty
who is paired with John Car-mean.
Matches will be played any
time the gym is open with Wed-nesday
evenings holding priority.
Volleyball will hopefully start
next week with the action taking
place on Mondays and Thursdays.
The sign-up sheet for wrestling
will be up for one more week.
There are still golden opportuni-ties
at the 157, 177, and 191 weight
classes. First Floor has representa-tives
for seven of the eight class-es.
There will be bowling and soft-ball
if enough interest is shown.
Support your team. Some of them
need it.

New Hampshire primary is of some
interest here. The Republicans
polled more votes by far than
McCarthy and Johnson together —
with Richard Nixon the undisputed
winner.
However, New Hampshire is
typically quite Republican. Mc-

In indoor track meets at Macal-ester
on March 9, and Stout State
on March 18, the Royal trackmen
have turned in two encouraging
performances. At Macalester the
Royals finished only six points be-hind
Stout with 54 points, and
the Mac reserves trailed with 41
points.
On their own track the Blue
Devils of Menominee racked up 74
points, followed by Bethel with,
41 1/2, River Falls 33 1/2, Winona 23
and Eau Claire 5.
The oustanding performers in
these meets were Bill Geigert,
Dave Pound, and Jim Hammar.
Geigert has won the two mile
in both outings, his best time
being at 10:18 at Macalester. In
addition he has turned in two
second place finishes in the
mile.
Pound took first in the 440 yd.
dash both outings with times of
53.5 and 53.45. At Macalester Ham-mar
won three first place finishes
with a 7.0 in the 60 yd. dash, 42'1"
in the triple jump, and 22'5 1/4" in
the broad jump. At Stout neither
of these jumping events were held,
reducing both Bethel's and Ham-mar's
performance.
Andy Lehman who turned in
write-in vote on the Republican
side. This should interest those
party leaders on both sides who
look for candidates that appeal
to "independent" voters.
But by and large Republicans
will not support McCarthy. Repub-licans
of a more liberal leaning
will flock to Nelson Rockefeller.
Some Republicans, of course,
do support McCarthy's bid for
power because they feel he will
split the Democratic party and
assure Republican victories all
over the nation. But perhaps
they do not realize the extent
of Democratic discontent with
LBJ or the zeal, determination,
and efficient organization of Mc-
Carthy backers.
Primaries in Wisconsin (next on
April 2), Oregon, California, Neb-raska,
Indiana, and South Dakota
will help shape the future Mc-
Carthy movement. But Eugene Mc-
Carthy now commands genuine po-litical
power and is a national po-litical
figure who will be around
for awhile.
