Bustling Larry Bradshaw decorates his door for Christmas
open house in the dormitories this Sunday. Larry, whose door decorat-ing
decision was undaunted or haunted by taunting boys, is deserving
of recognition as door and room decorating are usually considered
activity best suited to females. This is but a little evidence of the male
struggle for equality. Next year some male, in the Bradshaw tradition,
will probably decorate his room.

that Bethel ought to be utilizing
this medium of communications
much more than it is."
Paul Owen, assistant manager
or station EV, has announc-ed
that special opportunities are
opening in television for interested
students. Owen explained that
these new opportunities are made
possible with the inauguration of
channel 2's new training program.
"I want to emphasize that these
positions are not restricted to com-munications
or theatre majors,"
Owen said. "Any student who is
of the oral interpretation contest
on Jan. 6. Readings should be
limited to seven minutes. Members
of the faculty will judge the con-test.
First prize will be $15, and
second prize will be $10.

truly interested in learning the
benind - the - scenes activity of a
television studio is welcome to join
the training program."
Chris Donaldson, program man-ager
for the station, pointed out
that he believes KTCA-TV is in a
unique position to offer practical
experience in up-to-date television
theories and practices. "Although
the student may not be planning a
career in television or a related
field," Donaldson said, "the exper-ience
gained here will give the
student deeper understanding and
more appreciation of the television
he may see in his home."
From Guy Ueckert, senior pro-ducer-
director at channel 2, the man
who will direct training, came a
partial picture of available jobs
for Bethel students under the
training program. Ueckert listed
floor directing, camera operating,
audio board operation, stage set-ting,
and lighting as a. few of the
jobs available. Ueckert emphasized
that the training program is not
meant to be a part-time job for
the students, but rather an en-largement
of their background
knowledge generally and as prac-tical
experience for those interest-ed
in careers in radio and tele-vision.
Paul Owen also revealed that
plans are presently underway to
provide a second level of training.
The advanced training will be pro-vided
for those students who wish
broader knowledge and understand-ing
of both a practical and theo-retical
nature. Training will take
the form of a weekly seminar in-volving
staff and station admini-stration.
Subject areas will be gen-erally
unrestricted although they
will deal with mass communica-tions
and education through tele-vision.
Regional and national de-velopments
as well as items of
local import will be discussed.

numbers by the college choir, the
male chorus, the women's choir
and the brass ensemble.
This yuletide performance of art
and music is divided into three
parts: The King Promised, using
prophetic passages from the Old
Testament; The King Presented,
the birth of Christ; and The King
Pre-eminent, the eternal, all-glor-ious
God.
A colored candlelight proces-sional
through the fieldhouse will
open the program which consists
of music ranging from the carols
of the Nativity to the great class-ics
of the church. Several selec-tions
from Handel's Messiah, in-cluding
the "Hallelujah Chorus"
will be presented. The audience
will be invited to join the Festival
chorus in singing carols.
According to Julius Whitinger,
one of the highlights of the pro-gram
will be the unusual lighting
effects on a backdrop which was
designed by Eugene Johnson, as-sociate
professor of art. This back-drop
was painted over Thanksgiv-ing
vacation by Art Coombes, Ann
Friberg, Marge Johnston, Al Jor-dan,
Mabel Moen, and Mary Tam.
Personnel for the event are nar-rators
Terry Benz, Bill Malam,
Inez Welch, and Ted Wiens. Dir-ecting
the Festival chorus or the
separate groups during the even-ing
will be Robert Berglund, Philip
Gustafson, Sheldon Fardig, Julius
Whitinger, and Morris Anderson,
student assistant in the fine arts
department. Mr. Whitinger is act-ing
as general chairman of the en-tire
production. Accompanists will
be Mrs. Ruth Fardig, instructor in
organ; Carl Landahl, instructor
in piano; and June McGillivray,
college junior. Miss Jeannine Bohl-meyer,
instructor in English, has
written the script and all publicity
is under the direction of Mr. Gus-tafson.
Arrangements for the
brass ensemble were done by stu-dents
in the music department.

Books, etc.
Dear Editors:
On our campus stands our mo-dern,
well - equipped library, by
definition a place where books are
collected for the purposes of study
and reading. What should the
functions of such an establishment
be, in addition to being a place
where one may select and check
out books ?
There are many books and
magazines which the student is
not allowed to check out of the
library. Therefore, one must read
and study them there. But the
large main room of the library is
no place in which to concentrate,
at least not in the evenings.
Granted, it seems to be a mar-velous
place to meet friends and
visit, and there are enough side
activities going on to keep one
from being bored, but is this the
purpose of our library ? Are not
there other places on campus more
suitable for meetings, conferences
and just plain visiting ?
If those people who do not in-tend
to study would only refrain
from going over to the library
in the evenings, those who do
wish to learn something from
books would have a chance.
A College Sophomore
The Noble Salad
Dear Editors:
I would like to commend Roy
C. Dalton for his noble and elo-quent
defense of tomato aspic
salad in the last issue of the
CLARION. Many of us had been
shocked by the unkind and irre-sponsible
statements made in the
CLARION by the "tomato aspic
critics."
Many of us shuddered and bit
our lips. Many said, "Do they hold
nothing sacred any more ?" To-mato
aspic salad had been at-tacked!
Yet did a single tomato
aspic salad lover reply to these
slanderous statements ? No . . not
one! It remained for Roy C. Dal-ton,
who honestly admits that
"tomato aspic is not (his) favor-ite
dish," to respond to the chal-lenge,
take up the gauntlet, put
on his armor, and ride out against
the foe.
Now the powers of darkness
have been put to flight. The vocif-erous,
though misguided, critics
of tomato aspic salad have been
routed and silenced. They have
slunk off to their dens, sadder
but wiser men. Quiet, now reigns
in our land once again. And with
the end of the conflict and the
coming of paece I see newer, and
perhaps even greater, possibilities
for the future.
Perhaps in future issues of the
CLARION faculty members, or
some of our more talented stu-dents,
could lovingly write of their
own particular favorite salads.
Some of our more sensitive and
imaginative souls might even pre-fer
to express their sentiments
in the musical language of poetry.
The possibilities overwhelm me!
Even now I can imagine seeing a
sonnet entitled "Upon a Tossed
by Ian Paterson
For both Margo Chamberlain
and I, the Young Democrats' Na-tion
convention was our first ven-ture
into national politics (at the
junior level). From Nov. 19 - 21
(Thurs.-Sat.) 1500 Young Demo-crats
from all over the United
States took over the Commodore
Perry Hotel in Toledo, Ohio for
their biennial gathering. The main
purpose of meeting was to elect
national officers. Margo and I
from Bethel were part of the
twenty-two member Minnesota
delegation.
For average delegates like our-selves
there was always enough
to do—listen to speeches; visit the
suites of other delegations; per-form
necessary tasks for our own
delegation, such as answering the
phone; meet other delegates; at-tend
the college meeting and note
with quiet gratification that oth-ers
had problems too; and so on.
At the convention there were
quite a few notables and I was
able to meet Governor G. Mennen
Fruit Salad," or an "Ode to a Cot-tage
Cheese Salad with Thousand
Island Dressing."
Arise ye men and women of
Bethel! Make use of your dormant
creative abilities. And even though
you will have to work very hard
to surpass Mr. Dalton's eloquent
defense, the challenge should not
be ignored.
Yours truly,
Trevor Owen

The attendance of two
Bethel students at the Na-tional
Young Democrat con-vention
is a first for this
campus. The fact that only
twenty - two Minnesotans
went adds to its importance.
For these reasons we asked
Ian Paterson, president of
the Bethel chapter of the
YDFL, to report his exper-iences.—

Williams of Michigan (wearing his
traditional green bow tie with the
polka-dots. "Soapy" they call him),
Senator Hubert Humphrey and
former President Harry S. Tru-man.
(I haven't washed my hands
for three weeks.)
For us from the Minnesota dele-gation
there was also the meeting
of the Liberal Caucus—scheduled
for 3:20 Friday night (Saturday
morning actually). (The Liberal
Caucus was one of two large
groups, comprised of various
states' delegations, which nomi-nated
candidates for the national
offices, and who tried to muster
sufficient voting strength to win.)
This meeting was to decide, by
vote, which candidate it should
back, for within the Liberal Cau-cus
there were smaller coalitions
who had candidates who wanted
to be President, or V. P., etc. Why
3 :20 a.m. ? Oddly enough it was
the most convenient time — most
differences among the contenders
were settled, most social life was
over. Also, few would come to an
early morning meeting.
In the noontime parade through
downtown Toledo, the Minnesota
delegation made a good showing,
but was at the end of the mile-long
line because of the wonder-fully
disorganized parade tactics
on our part—that is to say, we
were late. However we were not
the very last. There was one other
—New Jersey—my home state.
The crowd which packed the
convention hall after the parade
for the final voting that Satur-day
afternoon was the typical
banner - waving, endless chanting
("We want Mauzey"—from Texas,
"our choice for President"), long
nominating speeching, wildly
cheering, state song singing crowd
of any national political conven-tion.
Out of the total of 1031
votes the candidates of the Liberal
Caucus were defeated by nineteen
—an excitingly tight battle. The
balance was wielded by Kansas
which split its vote. Had it voted
entirely with us we would have
won by three votes. If .. .
To me the experiences at the
convention were educational and
very enjoyable (a combination
which to many college students
may seem contradictory). I hope
however, that some day more
Bethel students may participate in
a similar gathering.
A Reality?
We imagine the glories
of stories from pages
of books on our shelves.
We stand convinced
and incensed when
some disagree.
We believe, but must ask
if we can see,
actually see —
the Holy Child as plain
as this morning's
front page.
Programs, Planners,
Criticism, Christian
Almost perenially a program is presented at Bethel which is criti-cized
as being inconsistent with a "campus of Christian scholarship."
This fall it was homecoming, last year it was an abbreviated and ex-purgated
"South Pacific," and before that it was something else.
These criticisms are seldom leveled at the quality of a program
but usually at its propriety.
Apparently something is wrong when student leaders consistently
offend the "campus of Christian scholarship." It is interesting to note
that student leaders have been responsible for the "undesirable" pre-sentations.
For it is true that these people are student leaders — by
the choice of the students. When the student body elects student senate
officers they entrust these people with the duty of appointing respon-sible
people to positions of planning and programming.
Assuming that the elected officers don't change their convictions
or lose their desirable qualities following election, the people in posi-tions
of planning are the people's choices.
So the planners are not "outsiders" trying to infiltrate Bethel with
"things of the world" in order to effect a gradual secularization that
will end in Bethel's complete decline as a "campus of Christian scholar-ship."
These leaders are inconsistent with this unique community if
a majority of this community's constituents "don't belong."
But the problem exists.
At present the student senate, in an attempt to ease the situation,
is working on a policy (via a committee) regarding Bethel activities
and their relationship to the purposes of the school. A policy, similar
in purpose, has been drawn by a faculty committee.
Ideally the student policy and faculty policy would be brought
together, made one, with minor differences ironed out, and Bethel
would have a policy, an official policy.
Not rules, but a policy—part of Bethel's uniqueness lies in its
small number of rules.
This policy would serve a two-fold purpose. It would be used by
student planners as a guide and reminder of the goals of the school.
And, if the policy were adhered to, these leaders would have a defense
in case of more "secularization" charges.
So, hopefully, the problem will be solved. Responsible students
will elect responsible leaders who will have a responsible framework
to function within and there will be no criticism.
Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to have a little qualitative criticism,
though. As long as we are going to have proper programs, we might
as well have good ones.
Words from Some
of Our Sponsors
Even Now Christmas is
Near, Have a Suggestion
by Maureen Bronstein
The gladdest season of the year is again upon us. The bells are
jingling; glad festivities are on their way; and your Christmas list
and look are still incomplete.
It may not be the night before Christmas, but St. Nick will soon
be here and maybe a few ideas would be helpful.
Mamma in her kerchief seems to present many problems. Usually
it's a question of what she needs most. Mamma usually needs things
for around the house: linens, towels, or maybe if one can afford it
she'd really appreciate a new electric appliance to replace that worn-out
one.
Poor Dad always seems to be the one who has everything. If it
appears that he does, there are many ideas at the accessory counters
for men in the larger department stores. With just a little imagi-nation
Dad, too, can have a happy Christmas.
For a special girl there are so many things. Jewelry is big this
year—and lots of it. I'd venture that a new pin for her favorite sweater
or dress would really be appreciated.
Say, girls, here's the chance to buy him one of those special shirts
you always thought he'd look so good in. And a new bulky sweater
would probably be the sharpest thing he could get for Christmas.
Roommates should exchange the kinds of gifts that they most
want. Pure silk blouses are really neat girls—and even neater to care
for.
Here we are all taken up in the holiday whirl in what is a golden
fashion season. For a scoop, try a scooped velveteen blouse and fancy
skirt for that all-important New Year's Eve date. Or else a silk shirt-waist
dress is really smart. And you can wear these so often.
And as St. Nick exclaimed ere he drove out of sight, "Happy
Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!"

"The seminar," said Owen, "will
generally flow in tune with the
particular interests of the students
at the time. We may spend one
meeting discussing something of
current importance or we might
cover FCC policies and historical
decisions. I'm sure that there are
students at Bethel who are inter-ested
in this training," he conclud-ed.
In a final comment on the en-tire
program, Guy Ueckert pointed
out that because of the large vol-ume
of live programming carried
by the station there are ample op-portunities
for many students.
"Background in television is un-necessary,"
he said. "All we want
are people who are interested."

Second Guessers
by Dan Anderson
The Second Guessers got off to a rousing start last Thursday,
Dec. 3, at 6:30 p.m. in the president's dining room, with an interesting
and frank discussion on basketball — Royal style.
The only fact that marred the half-hour was the attendance —
or lack of it. (There's no rule prohibiting girls from attending.)
When asked to give his opinion of the first three games, of which
Bethel won two, Coach Healy said that he would group the first two
together, and leave the third separate because it was a lot better than
the first two. He said the first game (Sioux Falls), although a good
one from the average spectator's view, was just a victory over a
mediocre team, with which we played mediocre ball.
Mr. Healy didn't say much
about the LaCrosse game — just
shook his head. The encouraging
thing about it, he said, was the
rebounding and the way our boys
came back in the last quarter. The
rebounding was also the high
point in the St. Paul Bible college
game. Coach Healy pointed out
that in this game, we out-rebound-ed
SPBC 64-16. Mr. Healy is also
pleased with the boys' shooting
percentages so far this year, al-though
shooting is the main rea-son
for the newest shakeup in the
Royal starting five.
Coach Healy has put sharpshooter Mery Sheplee in, and moved
John Peterson from his forward position to a starting guard. Wayne
Kindall will still be playing center, but Jim Ekblad will be starting
left forward and Truman Turnquist moved to right forward. Truman,
also sitting in at the meeting with Coach Healy, was asked if the shift
would hamper his playing. He replied that since he has played this
position before, it wouldn't. He also stated that this year's Royals
shouldn't have any trouble equaling last year's record of 15-7.
When asked what he thought of 'Wayne Kindall's playing this
year, Truman said he was impressed with Kindall's playing, which
both Truman and Mr. Healy think is better than his performance last
year. Truman said that Wayne has adapted himself very nicely to the
center position, and his shooting from this position gets better every
day. The fact that Wayne made 52% of his shots in the SPBC game
bears Truman's statement out very well.
Coach Healy said he was pleased with our pre-Christmas schedule,
and that River Falls would be one of our toughest opponents this year.
That's the first Second Guessers' meeting in a nutshell. The next
one will be held tonight at 6:30, in the president's dining room.

Bethel Rolled
Over St. Paul
Bible College
by Gordon Bear
The Bethel Royals rolled to an
easy 72-46 victory over the St.
Paul Bible college squad in the
fieldhouse Tuesday, Dec. 1. The
basketball victory was the second
of the season for the Royals over
one defeat.
From the opening jump to the
final buzzer, the victors controlled
the lead by a combination of good
shooting and ball handling. With
Wayne Kindall's hook shot and
John Peterson's set shot, the op-ponents
found it hard to keep in
pace with the Blue and Gold. The
first half closed with Bethel ahead
38-20.
The home team held about the
same margin throughout the first
part of the second half. With ten
minutes remaining, Coach Healy
started substituting until almost
all the reserves had entered the
game. The reserves held the rivals
to almost the same lead as the
starting five. Before the end of
the game, both coaches had drawn
freely from the bench. The clos-

The Royals traveled to LaCrosse,
Wis., on Nov. 24, and were handed
their first defeat of the season.
Bethel was unable to capitalize on
a break in the final seconds, and
the score ended at 58-56.
During the first half of the
game LaCrosse State held the lead
and the Royals trailed close be-hind.
The first half ended with
LaCrosse in control by an eight
point lead, 38-30.
In the second half LaCrosse be-gan
to rally, and with four min-utes
left in the game were hold-ing
a 15 point lead. Then the
Royals offense caught fire and
through consistent scoring they
came within two points of over-coming
the LaCrosse five. With
about twenty seconds remaining
in the game Bethel had possession
of the ball and had only to sink
one basket to tie up the game. A
bad pass, however, was intercept-ed
by a LaCrosse guard and
Bethel's chances for a victory were
gone. The final buzzer sounded
with the Royals on the short end
of a 58-56 score.
A highlight of the game was the
consistent scoring by Bethel's Tru-man
Turnquist. He swished
through 24 points to be the lead-ing
scorer of the game.

An exciting volleyball game

member of the Counts team leaps

who have been participating in
the Intramural program have en-joyed
many exciting volleyball
games. In this game the Counts
defeated the Barons to tie down

standings.
The Bethel basketball team was
humbled Monday, Dec. 7 by Sup-erior,
Wis. as Bethel lost its sec-ond
game in five starts, 69-59.
The mold for the game was set
in the first quarter of play when
the shots by the Bethel five seem-ed
to continually bounce off the
rim of the basket and into the
hands of a Superior player. Sup-erior
took an early lead and never
released possession of it through-out
the game. The first half end-ed
with Bethel on the short end of
a 49-42 score.
The second half of the game
continued in the same pattern as
the first half, except for one
Bethel rally which tied up the ball
game with about five minutes re-maining
in the game. The rally
was only temporary, however, and
Superior ripped the nets to win
the game by a convincing 69-59
score.
John Peterson led the Royals in
scoring, he swished through 20
points. Truman Turnquist follow-ed
by tossing in 13 points.

Bethel Royals
Downed River
Falls 88-83
by Don Delich
Bethel College subdued a last-ditch
comeback attempt by the
River Falls Falcons to defeat the
badger state team 88-83 Saturday
evening, Dec. '5, at River Falls,
Wis. Sophomore Mery Sheplee led
a balanced Royal scoring attack
with 26 counters in his debut as a
starter. This team effort overcame
a 20-plus point production by three
Falcon starters.
Bethel surged to an early mar-gin
and commanded the contest
throughout the first half, only to
lose their lead and trail 40-39 at
the intermission. In the second
half, the score jockeyed back and
forth, being tied at 45-45, 51-51,
and 55-55, before the Royals took
charge and opened up an eight
point spread at 68-60 at the ten
minute mark. With twenty sec-onds
of play remaining, Lee Baj-uniemi
put the game on ice by
converting a free throw to make
it 84-81, Royals.
In notching their third victory
against one setback in this young
basketball campaign, Bethel ex-emplified
potent team scoring with
four men hitting in double figures.
The totals were as follows: Shep-lee-
26, Kindall-19, Turnquist-
17, Peterson — 15, Bajuniemi — 7,
and Larson-2.
Guard Dick Larson wrenched a
knee late in the first period and
may be out of action for some
time. The extent of the injury was
not yet fully determined.
