Students Elect Taylor;
Heavy Election Turnout
Despite only one contested election approximately fifty-five percent
of Bethel's electorate turned out for the all school elections last Thursday
and Friday. Students selected next year's executive cabinet and six
senators-at-large.
Gregory A. Taylor, a junior history major from Chicago, Illinois,
was given the reigns of students government for '68-'69 with a land-slide
victory in the only contested election. The other presidential
candidate, sophomore Charles Myrbo, polled 148 votes, while Leonard
Sammons write-in drive for the presidency netted him 33 votes.
Candidates for the other executive posts were unopposed. Cindy
Simkins, newly elected treasurer, paced all candidates with a total of
479 votes, out of a possible 557. Campus coordinator candidate Ed
Soule also polled more than four hundred votes (407), with James
Lindberg receiving 56 write-ins.
David Shupe will round out the executive cabinet as vice-presi-dent.
He received 307 votes with Doug Warring, 39 votes, topping a
long list of write-in vote getters.
Dean Gibson, Janet Hurt, Leonard Sammons, Wayne Eller, Martha
Tatter, and Warren Magnuson were the six unopposed candidates for
senator-at-large seats. All won easily despite extensive write-in ballot-ing.
Gibson and Hurt both polled
over 400 votes, while Tater and
Magnuson, both around the 270
vote mark, topped the nearest
write-in candidates by over 130
ballots.
A unique dramatic presentation
is slated for campus production
this weekend. "The Monstrous
Spider," "The Ink Smeared Lady,"
and "Kagekiyo, The Passionate,"
three Japanese plays produced and
directed by student Dave Stagg,
will be performed tonight, Friday
and Saturday.
Tonight's performance at 8:00
is primarily for fine arts students.
Friday and Saturday all-campus
performances will begin at 7:30
p.m. Tea and forune cookies sup-plemented
by Oriental music will
set the mood for an evening of
Japanese culture.
Dave Stagg, a speech and dra-matics
major is attempting to
recreate Japanese theater style
in "theater in the round" form
for his senior thesis produc-tion.
Each of the plays despicts a type
of theater unique to Japanese so-cial
classes. "The Monstrous Spi-der,"
•taken from the Kabuki thea-ter
is popular among the lower
and middle classes in Japan.
Japanese plays frequently cen-ter
around religious themes and
as a Kabuki hero overcomes the
spiter so does good overcome
evil in life.
The Bethel Male Chorus leaves
next Thursday, April 11, for a
two week tour that will find the
group presenting concerts in five
states.
The tour's first concert is sched-uled
for Slayton, Minnesota, on
April 11. The next day the group
will move on to Gothenburg, Neb.,
before singing at a Youth for
Christ rally in Denver, April 13.
After six concerts in Colorado.
the Male Chorus will sing in Pine
Bluffs, Wyoming, on April 18, aim
then swing back through Nebras
ka for four more concerts. They
conclude their tour with two con-certs
in Iowa on April 22 and 23
before returning to Bethel.
Dr. C. Howard Smith is the di-rector
of the Male Chorus, which
has maintained an unbroken ex-
"The Ink Smeared Lady" is a
situation comedy involving a man
and a woman. Comic interlude as
such is associated with the Noh
theater. This type of theater, old-est
of all traditional forms and
dating back to the thirteenth cen-tury,
is primarily for upper class-es.
The last play, "Kagekiyo, The
Passionate," is the story of a
young girl of noble birth in
search of her father, now an ex-iled
warrior or in common
terms, a baggar. This situation
portrays the relationship be-tween
Christianity and Bud-dhism.
Two films on Japanese theater
will be shown before and after
the performance. The first will ac-quaint
the audience with Japan-ese
culture and theater style while
the second will show the compari-son
between Japanese classical and
modern theater form.
The purpose of the perform-ance
according to Stagg is not
to be entertaining but "to en-rich
the audience with cultural
and aeshetic aspects of Japanese
dramatic style."
Stagg stressed the importance
of the relationship between the
istence for the past fifty years.
The chorus has traveled through-out
the United Sates and Cana-da
on its annual tours, and spent
six weeks on a concert tour in
northern Europe and England in
1966.
The year's repertoire consists of
arrangements of well-known hymns
and spirituals as well as composi-tions
by Boyce, Bitoni, Haydn,
Handel and Peeters. Included on
the program are selections by Dan
Wickman, bass soloist, the male
quartet, brass ensemble, and trum-pet
trio.
The group has forty members.
Edwin Willmington is the assist-ant
director and Dennis Rockford
is the accompaist. Dr. Roy Dal-ton,
advisor for the chorus, will
travel with the men.
chorus and actor. The chorus re-inforces
the lines of the actor,
conveying his verbal meaning,
while the actor substitutes words,
for action. The interpretations of
the chorus and of the actor at-tempt
to convey one thought.
Costumes, masks, makeup and
music are important in creating
the proper mood. The two masks
used are original Japanese
masks.
Although the plays avoid overt
religious implications, they a r e
written within a framework of
Buddhism, "The Monstrous Spider"
and "Kangekiyo, The Passionate"
reflect Buddhist values and inter-pretations
of eternity.
This is the only major produc-tion
of second semester. Tickets
are priced at $1 per person and
$1.50 per couple, and are avail,

On Monday, April 15, the Beth-el

their annual spring tour. Begin-ning
with a concert that evening
in Forest City, Iowa, the sixty-three
member group will then
move into South Dakota for a con-cert
the next evening in the Cen-tral
Baptist Church of Sioux Falls.
On Wednesday they will re-en-ter
Minnesota for six more con-certs
in five days. One of the
highlights of the tour will be the
concert Friday evening, April 19,
in the new Duluth Auditorium
where the Conference held their
annual convention last summer.
This year's tour has a dual pur-pose.
First, the choir hopes, as in
years past, to minister as ambassa-dors
of Christ and Bethel to mem-bers
of the Conference and al]
who come to listen. The tour will
also serve as preparation for the
choir's five week European tour
beginning in June.
Musically, the choir will be just

financially, several of the concerts
which have paid admission will

During the remainder of the
school year, the choir will sing
eight more concerts in the Twin

a concert May 3rd in the auditor-ium
of Vocational High School,
long valued for its acoustical free-dom.
During graduation weekend, they
will sing three times, including a

On June 8, the final U. S. con-cert
will be sung in Chicago. Then
on Monday, June 10, with eighteen

It is with this in mind that

A type of hymanistic idealism
motivates McCarthyites. One argu-ment
for the war in Vietnam goes
something like this. "Wars are in-evitable.
Men and nations have
fought wars throughout history.
Since we cannot avoid wars, the
best policy is to co operate with
present governments, fight hard
and fast to win, and hope that we
get through alive."
The humanistic idealist can
never quite accept all wars as
inevitable. He believes specific
men, organizations, and nations
made specific decisions which
helped lead to war. He believes
men also can make specific de-cisions
which will lead to peace.
He works to find those decisions
and promote them.
The McCarthyite has a different
view of his responsibility to his
nation. He is not ready to follow
the leadership wherever it takes
him. Leadership can be wrong. He
tends to view the world as a com-plex
interrelated community of na-tions,
classes, and special interest
groups.
In this day of trans-oceanic jet
flights and intercontinental bal-listic
missiles, he accepts the
man from Iraq, Ghana, Peru,
Indonesia or Romania as as
much his neighbor as the couple
next door in the apartment house
(whom he probably does not
know anyhow). He hopes his na-tion
will take the lead in pro-moting
not special, narrow, na-tional
interests but the welfare
of all men.
The McCarthyite is not an iso-lationist
as is often charged. He
feels that promoters of the war in
Vietnam are the real isolation-ists,
isolated from much world
opinion opposed to the war and
basing involvement upon the cru-dest
national interest premises. He
wants the U. S. to become not the
World's policeman, nor its entre-preneur,
nor even its Santa Claus,
but its teacher, realizing that of-ten
a teacher learns much from
his pupils.
The follower of McCarthy has a
different approach to communism.
For one thing he knows that, giv-en
the awful potential destruction
resulting from a nuclear war, the
only alternative to co-existence
with communism probably is no-existence:
He does not think the threat
by communism to American na-tional
security is anywhere near
as large as painted by present
administration backers. He fears
the irrationality of the super an-ti-
communist may be more de-structive
of human and political
values than communism itself
would be.

Academic Credit Would "McCarthyite idealism

The lack of qualified individuals interested in publication
editorships and the student body presidency presents an un-solved
problem. Examination of the problem last week found
removal (e.g., the proposed constitutional amendment which
was recently defeated) of certain qualifications which currently
limit potential candidates for student posts unacceptable.
What, then, can be done to encourage more qualified stu-dents
to respond to these opportunities in student government
and publications? Last week's editorial suggested that any
amenable solution must center on a restructuring of the system
of renumeration presently in operation.
Stipends of varying amounts are presently in effect for
the editors of the literary magazine, yearbook, student paper,
and for the student body president. The amounts are adequate,
and this financial renumeration is a 'must' for these positions
which, in the case of the CLARION and probably SPIRE, de-mand
up to twenty-five hours weekly. Without these stipends
many students would be barred from such positions where time
demands would make part-time work and a full-scale academic
load impossible.
The system of stipends itself does not need to be changed;
however, if appreciable numbers of top students are going to
become interested in publications and government, these posi-tions
must become more integrated with the academic side of
college life.
The tremendous learning experience inherent in these
student roles needs to be recognized and fostered. This can be
accomplished by making the duties of such positions a part of
the student's academic load; in other words, academic credit
should be given for it.
Perhaps the best possible format would follow the lines of
an independent study course. The individual could discuss
various aspects of his position with a faculty advisor, and sub-mit
an extensive paper at the end of the year as one of the
criteria on which his learning experience could be evaluated.
The amount of credit granted would not be fixed, but would
depend -upon an evaluation of his work.
Political science credits could be given for the student
body presidency, and publication editors could receive credit
through the English department. Perhaps this could be ex-tended
to other student government offices or to publication
staff members as well.
Such a program would enhance educational goals. Learn-ing
processes reach beyond the classroom, and promoting the
academic value that lies within important student positions
could add immeasurably to the Individual's learning experi-ence.
Besides the educational benefits to the individuals involv-ed,
this system would enhance the quality of the work done
by students in these positions. Making student posts part of
an academic load adds a new dimension to them. No longer
would it be something outside of an individual's coursework,
squeezed in with the demands of sixteen or seventeen credits,
but a bona fide part of the student's load.
This would allow freedom to devote the amounts of time
and energy that one could expend in fully developing the po-tentialities
of various aspects of a student position. This op-portunity
is prohibited by the present arrangement.
Coupled with the existing stipends, academic credit would
open doors in obtaining qualified student applicants for these
positions. A great deal of student "apathy" would disappear if
such posts displayed a greater stake in the academic side of
the community.
In the absence of any other viable alternative, it is imper-ative
that this program be adopted if student government and
publications are to realize their potential impact on the Bethel
community. L.B.
Present Political Scene
Open For Student Impact
The current scrambled political scene promises a long and
eventful election year struggle. Johnsbn's announcement that
he will not be a candidate throws the struggle for the Demo-cratic
nomination wide open, while Nixon may well have the
inside track at the Republican nomination in view of Rockefel-ler's
avowed withdrawal from the running.
Students, more than ever before, have an opportunity to
exert their influence. CHOICE '68 will offer one means of ex-pression;
this "primary" lists fourteen men that represent the
full range of American politics on its slate of candidates.
Bethel will participate in this straw vote April 23. Heavy
participation among the nation's college students could wield
significant influence on the political scene.
Students can exert their influence in a much more active
way as well, which has been evidenced by many Bethelites in
their support of McCarthy. Door to door contact and weekend
trips to Wisconsin have produced results in building support
for the Minnesota senator.
This type of support is particularly significant. Where
money has long been a byword in any successful campaign for
the presidency, widespread student support, in the form of
positive action, can "bring" a candidate to the voting public
in a way that only extensive financial expenditures have in
the past.
Students, in many cases too young to vote, have a unique
chance to make a significant impact in the elections. Bethel
students who are concerned enough to expend their time and
energy in this way deserve commendation. L.B.

To many Americans Senator Eu-gene
McCarthy must appear for-eign.
Worse yet to some he probab-ly
'appears traitorous. Here we are,
the United States of America, with
one half million men on foreign
soil fighting bravely and dying to
save American freedom.
We fight to stop the Red on-slaught
of atheistic communism.
Then up pops a little-before-known
Senator who says we ought to ne-gotiate
a peaceful political settle-ment
with the communist dominat-ed
NLF as one participant.
This same Senator criticizes
our national leaders at a time
of national peril, at a time when
we seem to need national unity
not divergence. It is unthinkable,
then, that Senator McCarthy
should have any American fol

Conference On
Sees 'Splintering
by Ronald G. Stone
Residents of the upper Midwest
were graced with the presence of
several authorities of internation-al
relations last week. Approxi-mately
500 people converged upon
Minneapolis' Leamington Hotel
March 27 to listen to and ask ques-tions
of six men of outstanding
training and experience in inter-national
affairs.
The conference, "United States
Foreign Policy: Demands of the
Next Decade," was one of 12
such programs throughout the
nation sponsored by the Foreign
Policy Association and Time, Inc.
The stated purpose of the con-ference,
indeed the primary task
of its sponsors, is that of "devel-oping
an informed, thoughtful and
articulate public opinion . on major
issues of American foreign poli-cy."

periods, directed by the interna-tional
experts advanced that aim.
As the name of the confer-ence
suggests, discussion cen-tered
around looking ahead to
American foreign policy of the
coming decade. The spilt milk of
the past decades was not cried
over. Indeed, it was only men-tioned
as it relates to the needs
of upcoming decisions.

will also demonstrate considerable

then, with these McCarthyites?
Don't they appreciate America
and her fighting men? Do they
want the communists to take-over
the world? Where are their back-bones?
Men behave in politics ac-cording
to the way they per-ceive

the values they have as human

to deal with three major interna-tional
elements: Communism, Eur-ope
and the developing countries
(formally known as the underde-veloped
countries.)
Communism, say the experts,
would presently be better la-beled
Communisms. Disunity is
even more apparent in the Com-munst
World than in the Cap-italistic
World. The basic dis-joining
factor is economics. Gen-eralizing,
European Communism
is losing its totalitarian rigidity
in favor of individual accommo-dations.
At the same time, Asian Commu-nism
is becoming ever more rig-idly
totalitarian. This divergence
is attributed to the economic su-periority
of the European Commu-nist
nations. The experts predict
that this gap, someimes known as
the Sino-Soviet split, will continue
to widen during the coming dec-ade.
They further predict increas-ing
diversity within the European

Throughout all of this splinter-ing

CAMPUS FORUM
Dismissals Prompt Ethical Questioning
Thursday, April 4, 1968
the CLARION Page 3
To the Editor:
Recent crises related to student
discipline have led us to share pub-licly
some ideas we have often ex-pressed
privately. Sometimes cam-pus
crises have functional conser,
quences; they may result in ac-,
tion which has long been needed
by convincing skeptics in the pow-er
structure that change is neces-sary.
We hope that will be true
now.
Social control devices to enforce
moral codes take many forms. The
highest penalty for violating those
norms which are unique to Bethel
is dismissal from the student body.,
When this sanction is used
without prior efforts to reha-bilitate
offenders, the latent
message conveyed to all is that
Bethel is rigidly legalistic, is
not equipped to handle the spe-cific
problem, is not willing to
forgive "seventy times seven,"
is not a therapeutic community
that restores sinners, or lacks
the structural framework or
personnel necessary for the rec-lamation
of rule-violators.
It teaches students that "the big-gest
sin" is being caught for com-mitting
selected offenses and that
such ignored sins as gossip, tale-bearing,
gluttony, greed, jealousy,
self-seeking, covetousness, hypocri-sy,
and the like are unimportant.
Dismissal implies either that a
cancerous growth in the student
body is being removed in order
to prevent its spread to others (a
valid reason for drastic surgery if
the diagnosis is correct) or that the
persons dismissed will receive bet-,
ter Christian •therapy when they
are removed from Bethel. In most
cases the latter is very unlikely
to occur.
The very fact of being dis-missed
from Bethel brands the
"culprit" with a stigma that may
disgrace him all the rest of his
life. It tends to implant a nega-tive
self-image that may ac-centuate
his negativistic beha-vior
and prohibit the cure of his
To the Editor:
Much time has been given to dis-cussion
of apathy which is preva-lent
on our camptts. As the edi-,
torial contributor has written: "At
the basis of this apathy is an en,
trenched, but subtle individual-,
ism." (Clarion Vol. XLII - No. 18,
March 21, 1968). I would like to
offer a suggestion which can be
of help in ridding one's self of
this tendency towards apathetic ac-tio
and subtle individualism.
This solution of which I speak is
enthusiasm. Dr. Norman Vincent
Peale in the book Enthusiasm
Makes the Difference offers sever-al
pointers which can be a help
in ridding ones self of the en-croachment
of apathy and curb
this subtle individualism which has
manifested itself in recent days.
HAVE FAITH. The Greek word
word for the root of enthusiasm
is entheos — meaning "God i n
you," or "full of God." Especially
in this community, but applicable
universally—God will supply the
faith, wisdom, and courage which
we need to rid ourselves of this
nemisis.
HAVE A GOAL. Set for yourself
a goal that you've just got to reach.
Then build the fire of anticipation
under it.
ACT AS IF. It is a proven law
of human nature that as you ima,
gine yourself to be, so in time
you will strongly tend to become.
So act as if you are not apathetic,
act as if you are vitally interested
in life. Apathy will soon be non-existant.
personal or social malady. ("As
long as I'm known as a drinker
—or kleptomaniac or shoplifter
or cheater or immoral person
or what-have-you—I may as well
act like one. I can't help it; that's
just what I am.")
Dismissal of a student contri-butes
to social and psychological
rejection by his home church, his
pastor, his family, his friends. It
can cause bitterness against "the
hyprocrites whose sins are just as
bad as mine" and, as a result,
alienation from Christian fellow-ship.
This may be especially true of
persons who are incidental offend-ers,
in contrast to "hard core" vi.4
olators of campus mores. The very
act of dismissal is therefore a de-structive,
negative, and dysfunc-,
tional hindrance to Christian res-toration
in most cases.
The solution to this problem
lies primarily in implementing
a Christ-like spirit of forgive-ness,
love, and reconciliation
toward those who sin, remember-ing
that their words of bitter-ness
at the moment of their ex-posure
may be defense mechan-isms
preventing them from ut-tering
"words of repentance."
Removing people from the corn-munity
is one solution for devi-,
ancy, but in most cases it is col-1,,
tradicted by its disadvantages to
both the person and the communi,,
ty. The best protection from of-fenders
lies in effective efforts to
rehabilitate them in an atmosphere
of love that stimulates growth in
Christian maturity and Spirit-led
self-discipline.
Part of the solution also lies
in three programs which we sug-,
gest for study and implementation
by the Administration and the Stu-dent
Senate. (This could help to
overcome the inaction and apa4

Failure can show how not to

REVIEW THE GOOD. Thoreau

and review all the good things he
could think of: healthy body, alert

such news he was likely to find.

As historian Arnold Toynbee
said: "Apathy can only be over-come
by enthusiasm, and enthusi-asm
can only be aroused by two
things: first, an ideal that takes
the imagination by storm; second,
a definite intelligible plan for car,

How long has it been since we

and helping students
(and perhaps staff and faculty
members) out of difficulties
through informal liasison with
administration and other authori-ties
on and off campus.
2. Adequate independent coun-seling
services to cope with per-,
sonal problems, deviancy, and guilt
for violating Christian or campus
mores are badly needed. The of,
fice of the Dean of Students and
all the staff under it, including
dormitory counselors, have a police
function which prohibits students
from sharing problems that might;
cause punishment to enforce the
"Bethel code."
This punitive role is not com-patible
with that of therapist. Most
faculty members cannot deal ade,
quately with difficulties that are
deeper than surface-level because
they are too busy and lack the
necessary skills for depth therapy.
3. A court of appeals to re-view
administrative decisions
when a student or staff member
feels he has been dealt with un-justly
is worthy of investigation.
We are not sure whether this
should be (1) a student court
with a jury of six or twelve no-ble

The specific decision to dismiss
twenty students from Bethel for
the consumption of alcoholic bev-erages
is "water under the bridge."
The decision was a difficult one to
make; nevertheless, it was made
and is now part of Bethel's history.
The personal sincerity and con-cern
of those who made the de-cision
was vindicated in Tuesday's
campus gathering. Personal attacks
and wholesale denouncements have
little relevance to the situation and
show little insight into the com-plexity
of the problem.
To make concrete judgments on
the affair one must possess both
an ethical system and concrete
knowledge of the facts and person-alities
involved. Since the latter is
not public information, any criti-cism
must be directed at the ethi-cal,
psydhological, and sociological
principles applied in making the
decision.
One of the major arguments pre-sented
by those favoring dismissal
if the involved students boils down
to little more than the "rules for
rules sake" argument. The main
considerations were legal and quite
logical.
The case runs as follows: There
are rules against drinking; the stu-dents
involved knew of these rules;
the students involved were in fact
drinking; the rules state students
caught drinking are to be disrnis-
In my three years at Bethel,
twice fellow students have been
dismissed for character or disci-pline
problems. In my freshman
year, several of my friends were
dismissed for similar action. I
didn't say anything because I was
not objective in my appraisal.
Many of these students were
readmitted the next fall and made
serious attempts to reconcile their
mistake. Because of their name
and the reaction of students, they
were shunned by the pious and
proud and sought after by the
new deviants.
This is more our problem than
the administration's. Neverthe-less,
most of the original stu-dents
dismissed are no longer
here nor have they made sig-nificant
recovery to the Christ-like
walk.
This year I know none of those
being expelled. I am not biasly
pleading their case. Yet there ap-pears
to be no new variables that
could cause any but the same re-sult.
When one member of a family
gets a fever does that family cast
him out till he recovers? That
would be called unlovely and in-sensitive.
It also seems contradic-tory
to the whole spirit of love
and forgiveness exemplified in the
Lord's ministry.
I am very happy at Bethel and
agree with all that it stands for
including the stand on drinking.
It is the punishment that seems
contradictory to Christ's teach-ing.
The whole situation is strikingly
akin to that of the pharisees cast-ing
out sinners, publicans, and
those who ate with unclean hands.
The Lord's reply when questioned
about such overt actions was that
a doctor comes to minister not
to the healthy but to the sick.
Behel in its purpose is much
like a church and where two or
sed; therefore the involved stu-dents
should be expelled. As iS
evident, this is an air-tight case.
However, while the facts and
logic may be correct, the basic con-siderations
are erroneous. Implicit
in this argument is the premise
that rules are more important than
people, that the sanctity of the
code must be preserved at the ex-pense
of the individuals involved.
One needs but read the Sermon
on the Mount to discover that con-cern
for one's neighbor has re-placed
the Old Testament legal-ism.
This is not to say that rules
and prinicples have no validity
but rather that the ultimate con-sideration
is not the precept but
the person. Ideals only become
values when they are experienced
in human personality.
With these principles in mind
the issue of student dismissals
takes 'on a new focus. The focus
of the discussion should not be
on the legal facts of the case,
but on the well being of the stu-dents
involved. The considerations
in the situation should be as fol-lows:
1. What will the dismissal do to
the individual students involved;
will it help them to solve their
problems or will it merely create
more?
2. Does the presence of these
persons on campus really endan-three
are gathered together they
are a church. We must act in the
spirit of the church. The privilege
of excommunicating people Goa
loves from the church or Bethe
must not be taken lightly.
The Lord's policy when disci-pline
or differing opinions arise
among the communion of Hi:
believers is, as seen in Matthew
13:15-17: Moreover if thy broth-er
trespass against thee, go and
tell him . . . and if he shall ne-glect
to hear thee, tell it unto
the church."
It seems that the intermediary
steps of correcting the wrong were
neglected. If these people are in
need of a renewed relation with
Christ, as Elenore Whitney says,
they are a mission field.
We who claim Christ and His
ideals are the missionaries. The
Lord says not to be squeezed into
the world's mold, but also says
go into all the world and teach
those who are sick.
How effective are we when
we separate the ministry from
the mission field. Are we acting
in love or fear? Are we avoid-ing
responsibility for our broth-er?
Are the 950 serious Chris-tions
going to be swayed by 20
or would the 20 benefit from
their influence?
In correcting each other's faults
let us not lose sight of our ulti-mate
mission as messengers and
examples of God's love and grace.
Possibly a new penal policy should
be considered for next year's hand-book
which would be flexible
enough for varying situations. Al-so,
a student represented commit-tee
might be organized to bring
such cases before.

man be overtaken in a fault, ye

thyself, lest thou also be
tempted." Greg Johnson
ger the moral sanctity of the com-munity;
could not these people be
retained and worked with until
at least the end of he semester
allowing them the possibility to
profit from this experience?
3. Is drinking the real problem
or is it merely a symptom of some-thing
much deeper that we would
just as 'soon close our eyes to?
Should we not investigate the caus-es
and work to alleviate them
rather than just to cover up the
symptoms?
4. What sort of impression of
the Christian life do we give by
such actions? Are we not impli-citly
making non-drinking a cru-cial
spiritual indicator? Are we not
perpetuating the old stigma against
alcohol and tobacco; are we not
guilty of blowing peripheral is-sues
way out of proportion?
5. Have we allowed sufficiently
for individual differences? Perhaps
the infraction of rules by one per-son
has a different significance
than it does for another?
The discussion of dismissal
should focus on these issues in an
enlightened manner in terms of
good psychological and sociological
data and in terms of the well be-ing
of the individuals involved.
If we as a college community can-not
handle this type of problem in
an enlightened manner, of what
value is education? R.H.

Ad Hoc Draft Committee Sees
Disruption of Graduate Education
Washington, D.C.—(1.P.)—"Catastrophic disruption" of graduate
education next year is predicted by an ad hoc committee on selective
service for the Association of Graduate Schools of the Association of
American Universities.
A statement intended for federal officials and the Congress warns
that current rules "will produce an inevitable deterioration of all
higher education for an unpredictable number of years," if left un-changed.
"All advanced education is vital to the national interest," the
statement emphasizes. "The armed services themselves are deeply com-mitted
to a program of graduate education in a set of disciplines almost
as broad as the full range of our most comprehensive graduate schools.
"The federal government has recently made enormous investments
in support of graduate education in almost all fields of knowledge.
The pressing need for more and better teachers is well documented
and, in itself , offers a compelling reason to assure wise management
of selective service as it applies to students in all areas of graduate
training . . .
"The present regulations will inevitably produce induction of a
sizeable proportion of present first-year graduate students at the end
of this year and may well lead to a catastrophic disruption not only of
the individual student's education but of all American higher education,
since it will be impossible to make minimal plans for 1968-69 or sub-sequent
years."

SW Candidate
Halstead Plans
Viet Nam Trip
Fred Halstead, the Socialist
Workers Party candidate for Pres-ident,
announced recently his plans
to go to Vietnam and Japan this
summer to campaign among ser-vicemen.
"I don't plan to do any-thing
provocative," Mr. Halstead
said, "I just plan to listen and
learn."
Halstead, forty years old, was
his party's candidate in the '64
election, where he was on the
ballot in eleven states. He re-ceived
40,000 votes, and expects
to be a candidate in at least thir-ty
states this November.
The CHOICE 68 election is re-garded
by Halstead as a "unique
opportunity" for students across
the country to register their feel-ings
against the Vietnam War and
the current Administration.
"Young people," he noted,
"who become draftable at 18
but still don't have the right to
vote, actually have the most at
stake when it comes to the ques-tion
of war. It is young people
who are sent to do the dying
and killing in Vietnam. CHOICE
68 will enable a massive part of
American youth, those on cam-puses,
to repudiate Lyndon
Johnson and his war."
Halstead is probably the least
known individual running in the
CHOICE 68 election, but by virtue
of the alphabetic arrangement of
the candidates' names, he enjoys
the top position on the primary's
ballot. Considering the presence of
twelve other candidates, this rep-resents
no small advantage.
He is currently campaigning
almost exclusively on college
campuses throughout the coun-try,
and is basing his attack
mostly on two issues, "Bring
the GIs Home from Vietnam"
and "Black Control of the Black
Community."
Halstead has claimed on several
occasions during the past years
that the differences between social-ism
and communism are slight.
During a speech at the University
of Houston, in fact, he stated that
the Vietnam war is "creating more
Communists in this country than
I could in thirty years of agita-tion."
It is thus not surprising that
his views on that war are in di-rect
accord with the official poli-cies
of the North Vietnamese
Government. Radio Hanoi, in its
broadcast of March 20, dismissed
the candidacies of both Robert
F. Kennedy and Eugene McCar-thy
by saying that neither man
had "voiced his support for the
Vietamese people's right to self-determination
or expressed sym-pathy
for our people's struggle
for national liberation."
Halstead, on the other hand, has
issued the statement that "Amer-ican
intervension in Vietnam is a
violation of the right of the Viet-namese
people to determine their
own affairs. The most moral and
effective alternative to the cur-rent
slaughter is to bring our men
home now."

One of the more amusing side
effects, depending an your sense
of humor, of Eugene McCarthy's
impressive showing in the New
Hampshire primary has been the
rather adulatory reaction of the
national press to the Senator's
corps of energetic and intense "bal-lot
children."
Originally written off as some-what
pathetic idealists, McCarthy's
student army earned their abunt-ant
laurels by helping engineer the
first stunning upset of the 1968
presidential campaign. As a result,
the well-scrubbed, respectable, ana
quietly effective "Student Volun-teer"
suddenly became the darling
of the press.

He knows that "world Commu-nism"
is not a highly centralized
gang of usurpers from Moscow, but
that "world communism" is actu-ally
becoming national comunism.
Different communist nations adapt
basic principles to their particular
situations and in so doing insti
tute conflicts of interest within
the communist world.
He may be ready to admit that
communist control of Viet Nam
would be better than what that
country is experiencing now (and
has experienced for many years).
He may have read communist
and socialist theories on philo-sophy,
sociology, politics or eco-nomics
and concluded that even
these contain elements of truth.
The McCarthy man is definitely
reviewing the idea of war as a
productive social action. He re-mains
unconvinced when war ad-vocates
indicate complete military
victory will be followed by a dem-ocratic
utopia. He fears that forces
unleashed by the war itself may
well work against the popular con-sensus
which is absolutely neces-sary
to the formation and opera-tion
of any stable government.
He seriously questions the tre-mendous
growth and investment
in military organizations through-out
the world in the 20th cen-tury.
He doubts that military
might makes right—even Amer-ican
military might.
Many McCarthy backers and
leaders in the movement come
from religious professions. These
people apparently have trouble re-conciling
American actions in Viet-nam
with their religious princi-ples.
They feel there comes a time
when, if a man is to act as he
professes that he believes, he must
put his God before the policies
and directives of his government.
When told that the commu-nists
will destroy religion, these
Part of the motivation in the
McCarthy movement, especially
among the young backers, seems
to be a frustration with "the sys-tem"
or "the Establishment." The
American way of life, it seems, in-cludes
not only affluence, great
personal opportunities, political
and religious freedom but also
very high pressures to achieve
some status (economic, social, and
educational), to conform to soci-ety's
"accepted" forms of appear-ance
and monotonous behavior, and
very early in life to "choose" a
path of educational development
that will lead the person to be a
meaningful cog in the gigantic,
GNP - worshipping machine called
progress.
Somewhere along the line
many youth have decided the
final outcome is not worth the
pressure. Then, when they sense
they are about to be snatched
up by Uncle Sam to be flown to
a foreign land to defend "the
American way-of-life", they be-come
angry. It does not make
sense to them that they should
be required to kill others or
die themselves for a "system"
that is so impersonal and void
of humanism.
Not all of these concepts moti-vate
everyone that works for Sen-ator
McCarthy. They probably are
not all motivations of Eugene Mc
'earthy himself. Like any political
movement, its motivations are com-plex.
But these concepts form some
of the background premises that
cause Americans to join the Mc-
Carthy movement.
President Johnson has declined
a request by the Executive Office
of CHOICE 68 to comment on the
primary's three referendum ques-tions.
The President's Assistant
Press Secretary, W. Thomas John-son,
explained that "'Since the
President is not a candidate, we
have some questions about the
propriety of his making the state-ment
that you request."
Two of the referenda deal with
the country's current involve-ment
in Vietnam, and one with
the priorities of government
spending in confronting the "ur-ban
crisis."
The President did, however, ex-press
support for the CHOICE 68
project. "I hope the public service
TIME is performing," he said, "will
really be one—because if there is
one thing disappointing to me
about young people, it is that they
don't use all the opportunities
available to them to make their
government a better government."
He cited the fact that "young
people have a smaller percentage
of those who are eligible to vote
actually voting than any other
age group."
"In 1964," he continued, "only
half the young people took the
trouble to express themselves
vvihen they had that opportunity.
It ought not to be that way. Those
who are going to live the longest
and be most affected by the gov-ernment,
for a longer period, real-ly
have more at stake."

cies and practices by traditional
democratic means."
The endless journalistic game
of lumping all students into one
vast and grotesquely misleading
generalization thus continues. The
archetypal collegian, it now ap-pears,
is no longer the student
leftist with his picket sign and
smouldering draft card. The "av-erage"
college student right now,
today is the "concerned" college'
student—the student whose faith
in democracy is slowly but surely
being reaffirmed through electoral
triumph and lots of hard, deter-mined
work.
The idealistic gleam of such
a student portrait will go far,
no doubt, towards re-establishing
middle class America's faith i
its gold plated youth. But
Carthy's "Student Volunteers,"
like the radical agitators, are but
fringe elements of the college
community and hardly represen-tative
of the American student
body as a whole, whose reputa-tion
for indifference and apa-thy
is not without substance.

• The present Communist-Capi-talist
division between countries
will give way to a division basea
on national and regional differ-ences
in economic status and poli-tical
stability.
• Great Britain will become in
creasingly an important econom
and political part of Europe fol-lowing
its entrance into the Com-mon
Market.
• Europe—including both Com-munist
and non-Communist coun-tries—
will become an economic,
political and military power, stand-ing
on its own feet. It will face
the Soviet Union on the East, the
United States on the West, being
little more disposed to one than
the other.
What this all seems to mean is
that Americans need to be will-ing
and able to recognize change.
Our post-World War I and post
World War II concepts of our-selves,
the underdeveloped coun-tries,
Europe and Communism are
outdated.
Europe's post-war recovery is ad-vanced;
she is becoming a great
power. China, by virtue of its im-mense
population is destined to
become a great power. Underde-veloped
countries are bound to
strive for an improved existence;
this may come in the form of rev-olution
against prosperous coun-tries.
What America needs to do is
think. American foreign policy
must center on two major consid-erations:
1. the rise of other "Su-perpowers;"
2. the exceptional need
of the underdeveloped countries.
And, as Hirschfield puts it: "The
American response to this chal-lenge
of a changing world will
be a crucial factor in determining
what the world of the 1980's will
be like—or if it will exist."
vate economic levers should be
activated.
The European experts foresee
unification of Europe. It is inevi-table
that "either providence or
politics will remove DeGaulle
soon." With DeGaulle's exit from
European affairs, Britain will im-mediately
become a part of Eur-ope,
thus bringing to a close the
long era of special relations and
mutual air between England and
America.
Here once again, American at-titudes
and policy must make an
adjustment. America will have
to recognize that it is no longer
needed politically and militarily
as it was during the Marshall
Plan days.
Those experts most concerned
with the developing countries, es-pecially
those of Africa and Latin
America, foresee a continuation of
the trend toward independence and
eventual political stability. The im-portant
change of American atti-tudes
and policy once again is tied
with economic considerations.
These experts strongly stressed
that America needs to reconsider
its reasons for giving economic
aid to the developing countries,
and having reconsidered, greatly
expand the economic aid program.
The Foreign Policy Associa-tion's
conference on American
policy for the coming decade
brought together people from
various walks of life with a
common interest in international
affairs to learn from and in-teract
with men of outstanding
knowledge and experience in the
•workings of world politics.
If any one basic message perva-ded
the conference it was that
American foreign policy is now
compartmentalized and outdated
and is in immediate need of far-reaching
reconsideration a n d
change.

Tenors, Basses
Battle on Court
This past Saturday morning, the
College Choir men staged a bas-ketball
game in our gym. In a
well-played, hard-fought struggle,
the Tenors came from behind to
gain a 64-52 victory over the Bas-ses.
After trailing at the half by a
count of 28-26, the tenors switched
to a man-to-man defense (they had.
been in a zone) to stop the tiring
Phil Bolinder. This switch, plus a
hot streak of shooting by Marion
"Junior" James, enabled them to
turn the tide.
"Junior" was high scorer for the
tenors and also for the game. Bo-linder
led the basses with 18 points.
LeRoy Mattson and Jerry Loomis
also scored in double figures.
If the Male Chorus is willing
and if a time can be arranged, the
Choir men are interested in hav-ing
a "showdown."

Despite capturing six out of ele-ven
• first place finishes in an in-door
triangular meet at Superior
State, the Royals could finish no
better than second. The team
scores were Superior State 48 1/2
Bethel 41 1/2 , and River Falls 25.
Bill Malyon and Dave Pound led
the way for Bethel with two first
place finishes apiece. Malyon cap-tured
the 50 Yd. Low Hurdles in
a time of 6.05 and was clocked at
6.5 for the 50 Yd. High Hurdles.
Pound won the 50 Yd. Dash in
5.6, and turned in a 56.65 for the
440 Yd. Dash. Jim Hammar was
right behind Pound in the 50 with
a tie for second place. Jim Fre-deen
finished third in the low hur-dles.
Bill Geigert staged another
strong performance in the distance
events by taking the Mile in 4:45.9,
and losing the Two Mile by a scant
three-tenths of a second. In the
relays Bethel finished second in
the Eight Lap Relay, and was last
in the Twelve Lap Relay.
In the high jump Dave Pearson
edged Pete Roemer and the rest
of the field to take first with a
jump of 5' 10". In the only other
field event Doug Sutharland of
Superior set an indoor record for
his school with a tremendous shot
put of 50' 11". The Bethel com-petitors
in this event, Fred Swed-berg
and Bob Olson, trailed behind
the other powerful Superior en-trys.
