Si. Volume XLII—No. 20 Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, April 4, 1968 JAPANES DRAMA productions open tonight for weekend run. Performers Rick Welch, modeling an original mask from Japan, and Ruth Trail are pictured above. Stagg Produces Japanese Dramas In Three Weekend Performances LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER BETHEL COLLEGE B;thJ Drive 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, able at the door. by Sue Gilberg On Monday, April 15, the Beth-el College Choir will embark on. 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 that much more prepared to com-municate effectively to an entire- Greg Saracoff's write-in cam-paign tallied 136 votes, the best total for write-in candidates. Bonnie Schoenfelder polled 106, and Sarah Robertson and Rog-er Weins both recorded vote totals in the 70's. In addition, over one hundred non-candi-dates received scattered write-in support. The turnout of 557 students was termed excellent by the election board, and only 11 void ballots were reported by Chairman Steve Smith. Compared to last year, vo-ting was nearly twice as heavy in this year's election. ebet-Pet Poo Holy Week — April 8.11 Monday—"The Cross and the Old Testament," Dr. Arthur Lewis Tuesday—"The Disappointment of the Cross," Dr. Robert Guelich Wednesday—"The Meaning of the Cross," Dr. Walter Wessel Thursday—"The Meaning of the Resurrection," Dr. Alfred Glenn. ly different type of audience. And, financially, several of the concerts which have paid admission will help to raise money for the sum-mer tour. During the remainder of the school year, the choir will sing eight more concerts in the Twin Cities area. Among them will be 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 concert on Friday, May 31, in honor of the graduating class. On June 8, the final U. S. con-cert will be sung in Chicago. Then on Monday, June 10, with eighteen concerts under their belt, the choir will embark for Europe. Dr. Berglund, director of the College Choir, pointed out that it is the unique privilege of all of the Bethel touring groups to be able to identify personally with the God and the message they pro-claim. It is with this in mind that the choir is anticipaing both of its tours. GREG TAYLOR, student body president-elect Who Shall Live? Seminar Views M edical M orality Plans are now being crystalized for the first Minnesota Inter-Colle-giate Symposium on contempory moral issues. Tickets (which are free) will soon be available in the coffee shop ticket booth. "Who Shall Live? The Morality of Medical Miracles," will be the first seminar at Macalester College on April 23, with Dr. Norman E. Shumway and Senator Walter F. Mondale as guest speakers. (Dr. Shumway, Stanford University, per-formed the second heart trans-plant.) "Selective Service - Selective Ob-jection - The Limits of Dissent," discussed by Dr. Russel Kirk and Mr. John J. Pemberton, will be the topic of the second seminar held at the College of St. Thomas on April 29. The third seminar, April 30, will have as its guest speakers Sena-tor Eugene J. McCarthy and Sena-tor Gale McGee discussing the top-ic "Morality and Power: The Dil-emma of Southeast Asia," (Fore-ign policy in Viet Nam). It will be held at Augsburg 'College. Charles V. Hamilton will be han-dling the topic on Black Power, "The Means to Human Rights," May 2, at Hamline University. The beginning time of the semi-nars will be 8:00 P.M. unless other-wise indicated. Anyone interested in seminar committee, etc., see Larry Day, Campus Coordinator, for information. Male Chorus Plans Vacation Tour Presents Concerts In Five States College Choir Tours Midwest; Prepares For European Tour 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. continued on page 4 the CLARION Published weekly during the academic year, except during vacation and exami-nation periods, by the students of Bethel college, St. Paul, Minn. 55101.

" IGN'T FOR AtiC,NE-,Y-Fi- ,1" ONE 6o ES INr© TEACAING. ON 17-5:: CONTRARY, I FIND A DEEP& PROFOUND FEWNAL SATISFACTION - the CLARION Thursday, April 4, 1968 Academic Credit Would "McCarthyite idealism Page 2 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. by Jim Brand 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 lowers, is it not? 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." The lecture and discussion 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. A look at the schedule of brief-ing sessions reveals that Ameri-can foreign policy of the coming Elevate Student Roles umanism Expounded erna lye o Nationalism Or . is it? The Minnesota precinct caucuses and the New Hampshire and Wisconsin primaries have shown that he does have Ameri-can followers. Future primaries will also demonstrate considerable McCarthy strength. What's wrong, 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 reality and according to the values they have as human beings. The McCarthyites ap-parently have some values and perceptions different from many Americans. This article will at-tempt to name a few concepts that help motivate the McCar-thy movement. Foreign Policy ' In Communism decade will probably be required 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 Communist World. Throughout all of this splinter-ing within Communism, Ameri-can attitudes and policy should change. To those Communist countries setting aside totali-tarianism, America should offer "most favored country" treat-ment; that is, public and pri-continued on page 5 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 thy attributed to the Senate in recent CLARION articles.) 1. AN OMBUDSMAN is neces-sary on campus. He would serve as a peacemaker, mediator, and DISCARD MISTAKES. Draw from all the experience and understand. ing they have to give. Then lump them together and drop them out of your consciousness. Forget those things which are behind, reach for what lies ahead. LEARN FROM YOUR SUCCESS-ES. Failure can show how not to do something, but it is more portant to know how to do it. The unending search for new techT, iques, and the satisfaction of dis-covery, will put excitement into any person and compound his in-terest. REVIEW THE GOOD. Thoreau used to lie in bed in the morning and review all the good things he could think of: healthy body, alert mind, good friend's. The more good news he told himself, the more such news he was likely to find. THINK POSITIVELY. What fresh and imaginative thing can you do to put new life into an old rou. tine? There's some good in every-thing, look for it. In short, be an optimist! 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, ryig that ideal into practice." How long has it been since we have had that type of enthusi-asm— bubbling over, spilling on all, whom we meet, infecting them with that same joy of life. Ralph E. Sheppard go-between, investigating com-plaints 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 citizens from the student body, (2) a single judge who has no police powers but hears evidence impartially b e f ore handing down decisions, (3) a panel of student-faculty judges, or (4) some other agency. We are sure, however, that our current organizational structure does not provide the separation of administrative, legislative, and ju-dicial powers Which is so import-ant to the protection of human rights. David 0. Moberg, Professor of Sociology, and Richard E. Ericson, Instruc-tor in Social Work and Criminology 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.

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. Sociologists Question Effects of Dismissals Dismissals Neglect Responsibility Enthusiasm: Answer to Apathy 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." aixti.cam. 2220 EDGERTON STREET AT HWY. 36 ST.

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." More information on Halstead and his running partner, Paul Bou-telle, may be obtained by contact-ing the Socialist Workers 1968 Na-tional Campaign Committee, 873 Broadway, New York, New York, 10003, Tel. (212) 673-0790. 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. Youth Back in the Fold, gushed endless editorials, Democratic Process Works! Nihilism of the New Left Refuted! Generation Gap Bridged! As the New York Times stated eloquently what other papers expressed garnish-ly, "Senator McCarthy has man-aged to persuade great numbers of concerned youth that it is pos-sible to make effective protest against existing American poli-from page 2 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." More information on the Presi-dent may be obtained by contact-ing Mr. Bill McSweeney at Demo-cratic National Committee Head-quarters, 2600 Virginia Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 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.

S. The American response to this challenge of a changing world will be a crucial factor in deter-mining what the world of the 1980's will be like—or if it will exist." Thus concluded the remarks of Robert S. Hirschfield to the Fore-ign Policy Association, March 27, 1968.

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.

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.

Stagg Produces Japanese Dramas In Three Weekend Performances LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER BETHEL COLLEGE B;thJ Drive 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, able at the door. by Sue Gilberg On Monday, April 15, the Beth-el College Choir will embark on. 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 that much more prepared to com-municate effectively to an entire- Greg Saracoff's write-in cam-paign tallied 136 votes, the best total for write-in candidates.

And, financially, several of the concerts which have paid admission will help to raise money for the sum-mer tour. During the remainder of the school year, the choir will sing eight more concerts in the Twin Cities area. Among them will be 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 concert on Friday, May 31, in honor of the graduating class. On June 8, the final U. S. con-cert will be sung in Chicago. Then on Monday, June 10, with eighteen concerts under their belt, the choir will embark for Europe. Dr. Berglund, director of the College Choir, pointed out that it is the unique privilege of all of the Bethel touring groups to be able to identify personally with the God and the message they pro-claim. It is with this in mind that the choir is anticipaing both of its tours. GREG TAYLOR, student body president-elect Who Shall Live?

Male Chorus Plans Vacation Tour Presents Concerts In Five States College Choir Tours Midwest; Prepares For European Tour 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. continued on page 4 the CLARION Published weekly during the academic year, except during vacation and exami-nation periods, by the students of Bethel college, St. Paul, Minn. 55101.

" IGN'T FOR AtiC,NE-,Y-Fi- ,1" ONE 6o ES INr© TEACAING. ON 17-5:: CONTRARY, I FIND A DEEP& PROFOUND FEWNAL SATISFACTION - the CLARION Thursday, April 4, 1968 Academic Credit Would "McCarthyite idealism Page 2 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. by Jim Brand 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 lowers, is it not? 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." The lecture and discussion 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. A look at the schedule of brief-ing sessions reveals that Ameri-can foreign policy of the coming Elevate Student Roles umanism Expounded erna lye o Nationalism Or . is it? The Minnesota precinct caucuses and the New Hampshire and Wisconsin primaries have shown that he does have Ameri-can followers. Future primaries will also demonstrate considerable McCarthy strength. What's wrong, 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 reality and according to the values they have as human beings. The McCarthyites ap-parently have some values and perceptions different from many Americans. This article will at-tempt to name a few concepts that help motivate the McCar-thy movement. Foreign Policy ' In Communism decade will probably be required 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 Communist World. Throughout all of this splinter-ing within Communism, Ameri-can attitudes and policy should change. To those Communist countries setting aside totali-tarianism, America should offer "most favored country" treat-ment; that is, public and pri-continued on page 5 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 thy attributed to the Senate in recent CLARION articles.) 1. AN OMBUDSMAN is neces-sary on campus. He would serve as a peacemaker, mediator, and DISCARD MISTAKES. Draw from all the experience and understand. ing they have to give. Then lump them together and drop them out of your consciousness. Forget those things which are behind, reach for what lies ahead. LEARN FROM YOUR SUCCESS-ES. Failure can show how not to do something, but it is more portant to know how to do it. The unending search for new techT, iques, and the satisfaction of dis-covery, will put excitement into any person and compound his in-terest. REVIEW THE GOOD. Thoreau used to lie in bed in the morning and review all the good things he could think of: healthy body, alert mind, good friend's. The more good news he told himself, the more such news he was likely to find. THINK POSITIVELY. What fresh and imaginative thing can you do to put new life into an old rou. tine? There's some good in every-thing, look for it. In short, be an optimist! 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, ryig that ideal into practice." How long has it been since we have had that type of enthusi-asm— bubbling over, spilling on all, whom we meet, infecting them with that same joy of life. Ralph E. Sheppard go-between, investigating com-plaints 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 citizens from the student body, (2) a single judge who has no police powers but hears evidence impartially b e f ore handing down decisions, (3) a panel of student-faculty judges, or (4) some other agency. We are sure, however, that our current organizational structure does not provide the separation of administrative, legislative, and ju-dicial powers Which is so import-ant to the protection of human rights. David 0. Moberg, Professor of Sociology, and Richard E. Ericson, Instruc-tor in Social Work and Criminology 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. Galations 6:1: "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are 'spiritual, restore such an one in Spirit of meekness; con-sidering 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. Sociologists Question Effects of Dismissals Dismissals Neglect Responsibility Enthusiasm: Answer to Apathy 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." aixti.cam. 2220 EDGERTON STREET AT HWY. 36 ST.

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." More information on Halstead and his running partner, Paul Bou-telle, may be obtained by contact-ing the Socialist Workers 1968 Na-tional Campaign Committee, 873 Broadway, New York, New York, 10003, Tel. (212) 673-0790. 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. Youth Back in the Fold, gushed endless editorials, Democratic Process Works! Nihilism of the New Left Refuted! Generation Gap Bridged! As the New York Times stated eloquently what other papers expressed garnish-ly, "Senator McCarthy has man-aged to persuade great numbers of concerned youth that it is pos-sible to make effective protest against existing American poli-from page 2 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."

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.

Thus concluded the remarks of Robert S. Hirschfield to the Fore-ign Policy Association, March 27, 1968.

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.

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.
