Larson Gets Ph. 0.
Dr. Clifford Larson, a member
of the Bethel faculty for six years,
received his Ph. D. in philosophy
from the University of Southern
California on January 26.
Dr. Larson, born in Fairbanks,
Alaska, did his undergraduate
work at the University of Red-lands
in 1936. In 1940 he received
his B.D. degree at Eastern Baptist
Theological Seminary at Philadel-phia,
Pennsylvania. In 1937 and
1938 he was a caseworker for the
State Relief Administration of
California and served as superin-tendent
of an orphanage, the Chil-drens'
Baptist Home of Southern
California, until 1944.
Dr. Larson spent three years as
chairman of the Department of
Christian Education at the Bible
Institute of Los Angeles and is
presently chairman of the Depart-ment
of Bible and Religious Edu-cation
here at Bethel. He has also
served as pastor of two California
churches.
During Christmas vacation, Dr.
Larson went to California and ap-peared
before a committee on
December 17 for his final oral
examination. The title of his thesis
was "An Analysis of the General
Conceptions Underlying Bible In-stitute
Courses on How to Teach
the Bible."

The Bethel college choir will
appear in Chicago's Orchestra
Hall on April 23. This concert will
be sponsored by the Chicago chap-ter
of the Bethel Alumni Associa-tion
of which Rev. Gunnar Hoag-lund
is in charge.
The college choir along with the

sung in German. Other works in-clude
selections by Dvorak, Quil-ter,
Dello Joio, Ives, Charlese, and
Hely-Hutchinson.
Peggy Smith Bailey will play
some excerpts from "The Doll's
Family." Probably the most hum-orous

The second meeting of the Pi
Iota Gamma Athletic and Intellec-tual
society (better known as the
PIG's) was held in the coffee
shop on Jan. 21, 1955. Present
were Digby L., president, and 15
other members recruited in the
coffee shop.
David W. began the cultural dis-cussion
by reading a paper pre-pared
for Modern and Future Eng-lish
Literature entitled "Varia-tions
on a Theme by an Anony-mous
Poet."
"Throughout the vicissitudes of
ancient, medieval, and modern
literature, the studious student
cannot help noticing the recurrent
influence of a noble and ancient
theme. Its original is unfortunate-ly
lost, but it has been preserved
in modern form in the world-fam-ous
quatrain—"
Bill S. interrupted to ask whe-ther
Dave knew what all those
words meant. He answered, "No,
but Doc Bluebell goes for poly-syllables
in a big way.
"—the famous quatrain, as I
was saying:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you.
"In the 17th century the theme
appears in Milton:
Of adolescent pleasures, and the
bloom
Of those far-famed flowers,
whose mortal scent
Brought love into my heart, and
all its joys,
With loss of reason, till a saner
mood
Or disappointment restore my
banished wits,
Sing, giggling Muse, that with
the sweetness
Of levulose or sucrose didst in-spire
That bard whose song was of
violet and of rose . .
In America, about the 19th cen-tury,
Longfellow sang:
'By the shores of Gitche Gumee
Thickly grows the wild rose
thorny
Ruddy as my lover's lipstick.
In the forest peeps the violet
Purple as her lower eyelids,
As the cunning Lepidopter
From the blossom sucks the
honey,
So at even in the parlor

Virtue's Reward
Toward the goal of encouraging student work on campus, Wheaton
college instituted a character award, according to a report released
by Dean John H. Fadenrecht.
"Inasmuch as we live in a suburban area it is easy for students to
find employment outside of the college with hourly pay far above that
which the college is able to offer. Then too, there is periodically some
bidding for the student's time. Hence, we have instituted a character
award toward the end of getting students to work diligently and hard
and to faithfully complete their duties.
"If a student fulfills his work diligently and faithfully he will be
entitled to an additional financial remuneration or award ranging from
ten to twenty-five percent of the semester wages for that term. The
supervisor rates the students and a college committee determines who
will be given the award. The award is very substantial and we are
sure it will lead to a greater degree of 'zest for work' here on campus."
Why Bother Me?
by Arlen Svare
Sure, I'll tell you why I chose to accept your Christ, why I "left
the cheap liquor, the life in the gutter, and the 25-cent flophouse." I'll
tell you why I've experienced these celestial glories which you speak
of, and know them to be true. It is because through your much hated
"negative emphasis" you have shown me the error of my ways.
All my life I fought this negative religion with every tool Satan
could furnish. He permitted me to go to church and see the critical
attitude of its members toward one another. That was a powerful
weapon! He showed me what a lack of love can be found there. He
permitted me to go to churches where only a positive message would be
given, knowing full well that it would not convict my heart in the least.
One day, contrary to the will of Satan, I wandered into a different
church. I thank my Savior that His servant spoke according to the
example of his Lord's ministry here on earth, and pictured for me the
negative side of my life. From this, an overwhelming conviction of my
sins caused me to turn to Christ and accept the positive side of religion.
How true it is that with a negative religion one can come only to
a negative conclusion — that there is no other answer than to seek
Christ!
A negative plea: Do not forsake the preaching of repentance, for
it is the way unto Salvation!

Latest campus floater — Two golfers were playing the course
leisurely when a funeral procession passed on the nearby road. The
first golfer took off his cap respectfully and held it over his chest
briefly. The second golfer exclaimed, "That's a mighty decent thing
for you to do." The other golfer replied, "Well, it's the least I could do.
In another four days we would have been married thirty-five years."

Could be that there are fellows throwing "rocks." . . . For the benefit
of those who don't have rocks yet, here's a suggestion — get a lump
of coal. Why spend dough for a diamond when for a few cents you
can get a piece of coal bigger than a caret? . . . Hmmm — Barb Harper

have a bit of news that hasn't been officially released yet. here's
the scoop—during founder's week the library will be opened as a part
time roller skating rink. this has been planned as added entertainment
for the visting pastors. (it is also being considered as a permanent
saturday afternon and evening activity.) when i asked miss axeen about
this she stated, "i love to roller skate and i think it is a keen idea" but
then she added some stipulations: only rubber tired skates will be
allowed and only school skates may be used. there will be a rental booth
set up at the desk. the skates will be arranged according to the dewey
decimal system according to size and style. reserve slips must be filled
out in triplicate, rates are by the hour 25 cents per skate, two for 49, a
fine of five cents for the first minute and two cents for each minute
thereafter will be assessed on over-due skates. there are other rules. no
skating will be allowed on the stairways, you may skate in miss axeen's
office only to answer the phone (three calls per person please) reading
while skating will be allowed only in the center of the floor. outside
reading is to be done on the roof, which will be flooded for ice skating.
refreshments too. kool aid and crackers stand will be set up in the
clarion office however it is strictly nonprofit. 10 cents a glass for kool
aid and two crackers for a nickel. all students interested in this plan
contact miss axeen or drop a letter in the letters to the editor box. let's
all support this for we don't want any cheap skates around here.
A Ski Escapade
by Robert Fischer
Editor's note: This is another of a series of outstanding freshmen
themes.
"You don't dare," was the challenging phrase of some of my fel-low
skiers, which was to lead me into an unfortunate experience.
On the afternoon of a bright, brisk December day, I was challenged
with those words, "You don't dare." A double ribbon-like trail lay be-fore
me which seemed to lead down into an abyss. I did what any
husky, healthy lad would do in a similar situation.
I adjusted my ski harness, shuffled my feet to knock off the snow,
gave a final lunge, and was off!
What Was I to expect ? Was there a sharp dip in the trail ? Was the
trail clear below? Those thoughts concurred with that phrase, "You
don't dare." I was determined to show them one way or another! Now
I was plummeting down the trail with increasing velocity.
All at once I realized why the fellows had flaunted me with that
dare! They must have tampered with the trail! In the midst of panic —
"You don't dare" — gave me a little courage.
I was far enough down by now so that I could see what lay before
me. There was the jump, just as I expected. My speed made it im-possible
to deviate my course. The mad plunge continued until I started
up the crest of the jump. "You don't dare," somehow gave me courage
in those last seconds before the ascent!
I glided up the crest of the jump, and as I left the edge and soared
up, out, and over, I looked at the ground. There was just one thing
to do — I leveled my skis as well as I could and hoped for the best.
Suddenly something went wrong. There was a whoosh—snap—ker-plunk
— as I helplessly sprawled in a snowy heap. Why it happened
I don't know; but what happened I do know. Both my skis were broken.
My right wrist and both ankles were badly sprained.
And — what do you suppose ran through my brain, besides the
pain? "You don't dare," echoed through my hallowed halls of grey
matter and gave me a tingling feeling of pride because I did dare.
Watch For The Bright Side
by Ardis Larson
How do you evaluate your fellow Christians ? Do you see only
the faults and flaws in the Christian character of your friends and
their failure to reflect the mind of Christ?
At a recent B.W.A. meeting, Miss Annemarie Oesterle, student in
the seminary, gave a simple analogy to illustrate her point of view on
this. She pictured a beautiful mosaic wall where each stone fits right
side up into its niche and completes a lovely, consistent pattern. If
these stones were taken from their setting, we would see a jumbled,
dirty pile of rough stones. Replacing them "bright spot" up, we would
again see a brilliant reflection of the light.
Miss Oesterle pointed out that as one of these stones alone could
not adequately reflect the light, neither can one Christian be expected
to perfectly mirror Jesus Christ. But put all these "rough stones" with
their bright spots or good points together right side up, and you will
see a wonderful picture of the light, Christ Jesus.
Premium On Quality
by Phil Caldeen
An eternal struggle has been that of quality versus quantity. We
find it ever present in human existence. Fundamental to Charles Dar-win's
Origin of the Species is that quantity inevitably succumbs to
quality. "Survival of fittest" is Darwin's cry. How did Pithecanthropus
erectus withstand the mammoth hordes of prehistory ? It was the quality
of reason. "Pete" Pithecanthropus learned that a fire could be kindled
from the spark set off by striking two flints together. Peter learned
that fire radiated warmth and light and kept away nocturnal marauders.
And Pete learned the use of the simple tools — the level and wheel.
Was it a huge convention of these pithecanthropus men who declared
they were in agreement on these matters, and ergo it was so ? No, one
man's wit was the key that opened the door to historical mankind.
But let us go to another's views on quality versus quantity.
John Milton, who is, in the eyes of C. S. Lewis, a magnificent
Christian literary figure, captures in one place in Paradise Lost the
concept under discussion in five words. In Book VII he re-invokes the
Heavenly Muse (Holy Spirit) to impart the ideas and poetic power to
express those ideas that they will "fit audience find, though few." John
Milton rowed against the stream of public sentiment too much to be
interested in popular acceptance or approbation. It was the "fit few"
he was interested in and the "fit few" to whom he wrote.
How can we not apply this view to the Christian life and church?
Jesus said if we had but the faith of a grain of a mustard seed we
could remove mountains. Is that a virtue of quantity ? The mustard
seed is less than a sixteenth of an inch wide and high, and micro inches
thick. The early Christian church, dynamic and unquenchable, was
composed of congregations of the two or three we read of in Matthew.
Is that quantity ? To what does evangelist Billy Graham look in prepa-ration
for his mighty mass meetings ? The usually small, usually most
poorly attended of all the church services — the prayer meeting.
Undeniable, then, is the reality that quality is supreme. John Milton
seems more concerned with the "fit few" than the unfit multitudes.
Charles Darwin went further by saying that the fittest will always lead
the pace in the race for survival. And Christ honored the minute mus-tard
seed by naming it the epitome of real faith. Apparently there
is a premium on quality. Here we have the thoughts of three greats
from different fields — literature, biology, and religion respectively.
With respect to their prominence and what they said about this subject
we can say that the premium on quality will ever be the highest.

So you want to be a reporter ?
Few people know how easy it is to be a reporter. Why, all you
have to do is find the who, what, where, when, why, (and sometimes
the how) and distribute the facts around general rules -- very general.
To illustrate, consider the following assignment:
Assignment: Get a scoop on the student affairs office.
1. Write a tremendous lead . . .
As I joyfully stepped into the office the girl at the desk, behind
the desk and sitting on a real nice chair, it was brown, was busy talk-.
ing to various students, examining her records, and answering her
phone, it seemed to me, at one time in a single motion. This was Miss
Dorothy Dalbey who exists as part of the team that exists in the
Student Affairs Office.
2. Find a good angle to play up big . . .
His hobby when he was younger was building model planes, which
he enjoyed assembling and satisfied his desire for achievement which
today is one of the foundations for the success of the Student Affairs
Office. But Bob Featherstone, who is the head of the office, still
worries about finding jobs for his boys and attends the seminary.
3. Use variety and color . . .
She has, Dorothy, I found, an apartment in the cities and likes to
cook. But she likes barbecued spareribs, and everything she makes
turns out barbecued. I asked her what was wrong with this. She told
me when she makes spareribs she throws everything in with them.
"Everything else turns out the same way, that's all," she said.
4. Give it to the editor

Fall Curricular
Adds Art Major
Several curricular changes were discussed in a recent faculty meet-ing
for next fall's curricular program. It was disclosed that the field
of art has been added to the list of those areas in which majors can
be taken. Two seminars in painting have been added.
Paintings by Bernard Arnest
have been hung in the student
center for public display. The col-lection
includes a wide range of
interests.
Born in 1917, Mr. Arnest receiv-ed
training at the Colorado
Springs Fine Arts Center from
1935-38. He was awarded the Gug-gunheim
Fellowship in 1940 for
creative work in painting. While
in the service from 1941-45, he
served as official war artist for
the War Department.
In 1948 he presented a one-man
exhibition at Kraushau Galleries,
New York, and came to his pre-sent
position at the University of
Minnesota in 1949.
Appearing at the student center
of Bethel through the courtesy of
the artist, the collection will be
opened to the public, free of ad-mission,
from Jan. 31 through
Feb. 21.

In Scholarships
Changes have recently been ap-proved
in two scholarships for en-tering
college freshmen. The High
School Valedictory Scholarship is
awarded to the highest girl and
the highest boy in a high school
graduating class. These scholar-ships
were formerly for fifty dol-lars,
payable toward tuition for
second quarter. Next fall the
amount of the scholarships will
be raised to pay for one-half of
the winter quarter's tuition and
all of the spring quarter's tuition.
These scholarships will then fol-low
the pattern of other Minnesota
colleges.
An Acquaintance Scholarship of
fifty dollars is awarded to the first
Bethel college student from any

Operetta Scheduled For Formal
Slated as Bethel's first operetta, "Summer Excursion" will be pre-sented
at the Valentine semi-formal at Grace Baptist Church, Feb. 11,
at 8 p.m. A barber-shop quartet contest has been scheduled as another
feature of the formal.
Phil Caldeen, program chairman,
has reported that "all kinds, sizes,
shapes, and mixtures are eligible
to apply for the contest. Judging
will be on the basis of harmony,
voice quality, musical arrange-ment,
originality, and audience ap-peal."
He hinted that the last two
items will be the most important
factors in choosing a winner.
"Summer Excursion," which is
a comedy operetta with a setting
in the gay 90's, is being directed
by Roger Bailey, instructor in
voice. The manager is Mimi Oland-er,
college senior. The cast features
Marilyn Hagstrom, soprano; Carol
Engholm, contralto; Ron Eckert,
tenor; John Anderson, baritone;
Dale Nystrom, baritone, and Carol
Martinson, pianist.
Ticket sales, headed by Lindy
Magnuson and Bailey Anderson,
will be limited to capacity only
and sold for $1.25. This price in-cludes
flowers and food.
Marlene Anderson and Carla
Kern are supervising food and
flowers for the formal. Curtis
Fauth is heading the advertising.
Barbara Olander is in charge of
decorations.

The Bethel Royals displayed the
best teamwork of the current sea-son
with the result of a comfort-,
able 73-54 victory over Moorhead
Teachers. The Royals, cheered on
by a partisan crowd, were lead to
victory by Frank "Mr. Outside"
Burleson and Howie "Mr. Inside"
Rekstad, each of whom contribut-ed
21 points.
The hoopsters presented a uni-ted
front, with the combination of
good passing and excellent defen-sive
work resulting in a 34-23
half-time lead, which was never
relinquished.
The visitors could not maintain
a serious scoring threat as was
evidenced by the fact that Torger-son,
with 11 points, was their only
man in double figures.
The Moorhead game was the
last game in which Paul Sandberg,
sophomore forward will appear.
Doctor's orders will prohibit his
future playing.
Bethel Bombed
by St. Mary's
Once again the Bethel Royals
engaged an M I A C foe, and once
again the Royals were rather rude-ly
slapped down. This time it was
St. Mary's and the score was a
decisive, 97-62.
One of the team members point-ed
out that the Royalites had man-aged
to battle the first team on
even terms for the first twelve
minutes. However, with the inser-tion
of St. Mary's fired-up second
squad, the tide changed suddenly.
From that point on, it was merely
a question of the final score, and
whether or not the Redmen would
reach the century point.
Frank Burleson was the only
Bethelite in double figures, with
21.
Southern Minnesota
Leads Leaguers into
the Sixth Round
Intramural competition in the
previous week's play, was height-ened
by the toppling of Southern
Minnesota from the undefeated
ranks. Northern Minnesota accom-plished
the feat by a 51-38 margin.
Illinois was an upset winner over
West, and East and Iowa-Platte
Valley were returned winners.
In last week's play, Southern
Minnesota stayed on top of the
heap by romping over Illinois
53-33. Iowa-Platte Valley stunned
Chicago by the unusually high
margin of 74-49. West eked out a
51-46 decision over Michigan-Wis-consin
and Northern Minnesota
racked East.
Individual scorers were lead by
LaRue Dahlquist of Iowa-Platte
Valley, who rang in 26 points. Ed
Brunzell and John Sahlin of Chi-cago
followed with 22 and 20
points respectively.

Royals Give Luther Victory
Little Martin Luther College came up to the Twin Cities and became
the recipient of an unexpected gift in the form of an 84-80 victory over
the self-sure Bethelites. The outcome was not only a surprise to the
Luthermen, but a shock to both Bethel players and fans.
With a seemingly huge margin of 13 points over Luther, the coach
saw fit to use some of the sparsely used second and third string reserves,
with more than ten minutes to go in the first half. And soon that once
enormous lead had dwindled and disappeared so that the Luthermen
left the floor at half with a 46-42 lead.
The coach wisely started the first team in the second half. How-ever,
the regulars had chilled during extensive and unexpected stay on
the bench, and they could no longer find the hoop. Throughout the
second half, it was the story of the marksmanship of little Zimmerman,
of Luther, completely frustrating Bethel's attempt to regain the lead.
Zimmerman was high point man for the evening with 30 big points.
Martin Luther opened their lead to as high as eleven points, 55-44,
in the early moments of the second half. Bethel was able, nevertheless,
to cut their lead to 78-73 with three minutes to go. Bethel, however, was
not destined to win.
The last three minutes clearly demonstrated the inferior play of
our team. Bad passes, poor shots, missed sure shots, and extreme cold-ness
at the gift line tell the story. On numerous occasions, the Bethel-men
missed golden opportunities to score the victory.
Frank Burleson with 27 points and Bill Conrad with 18 points spark-ed
our sputtering offense. Most of their points were amassed in the
first half.
In the preliminary game, the Bethel "B" squad met defeat at the
hands of their campus neighbors, the seminary team. The seminary
team survived a last minute rally of the "B" squad and won, 63-59. Dean
Olson with 16 points, and Clarence Woods and Gene Messenger with 15
and 14 points, respectively, lead the seminary offense.
Sprink's Spurts
The announcement of three years toward a physical education minor
has given a spark of encouragement to those in our student body who
are athletically inclined. It is the beginning of possible future expan-sion
in our athletic policy.
However, a short word of caution for those who will expect a
sudden rise in our grid and basketball wars. Next year the campus
will not be swarming with 6' 10" giants or 220-pound tackles. The phy-sical
education minor is merely a step in the direction of expansion. A
physical education minor will have little value until we have the neces-sary
education courses.
The question of school spirit has been raised in previous issues.
However, an encouraging note in the rise of school spirit is the fact
that a group of the fairer sex from Bethel journeyed to Winona to spur
the team on. Their cheers were in vain, as the team lost, but the spirit
was there. Couldn't this become an established step in the promotion
of school spirit. A rented bus or car caravan would not only promote
school spirit but provide fellowship.
Also, a short word on the editorial policy of the sports page. We
do not deal in personalities but rather with current athletic policies
and problems connected therewith. As far as having a feather in our
bonnet for beating Bible colleges and junior colleges, the editors will
consider this season a "winning" season if we beat Northwestern Schools.
Thought for the Day : A man is only as big as the thing that makes
him angry.
Day Brightener: Frank Burleson no longer sells brushes. He has
become the working girl's friend by selling Cutco.
