of another of Bethel's spe-cial
emphasis weeks. The activi-ties
of the Fine Arts week will
begin tomorrow night with a con-cert
by Josephone Busalacchi.
Saturday will be the first day
of an exhibition of paintings by
Cameron Booth, professor of paint-ing
at the University of Minnesota.
These paintings will be on display
from April 2 through 18 at the
student center.
Leaving Bodien dormitory at 2
p.m. on Sunday will be a bus tour
of Twin City churches, outstanding
in architectural design. The
churches visited will be Christ Lu-theran,
Prince of Peace Lutheran
Church for the deaf, St. Peter's Lu-theran,
Temple of Aaron, St. Fran-ces
Cabrini, and St. Mary's Greek
Orthodox church.

Crash! Hear those cymbals ?
Hear that brilliant tone in the
trumpets, the lilting run of the
clarinets ? These are sounds that
will be heard on Tuesday, April 5
at 8 p.m. in the college chapel.
J. Busalacchi
Sings Friday
Josephine Busalacchi, soprano,
will appear in concert on Friday
evening, April 1. The cultural coun-cil
sponsored concert will begin
at 8 p.m. in the college chapel.
Miss Busalacchi has appeared
with the Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra, the St. Paul Civic
Opera, and on the Ed Sullivan
television show. She is the winner
of the Metropolitan Regional con-test
and the Chicagoland Music
festival as well as the Milwaukee
Journal contest. Miss Busalacchi
had an extended run in the role
of Anna in the "King and I."
Admission for Friday's concert
will be 50 cents. Tickets may be
obtained from Milton Quiggle,
Shirley Stearns, Ray Duncan or
Kathy Wilsey. No tickets will be
sold at the time of the perform-ance.
Ann Friberg, a junior art major,
will give a demonstration of pot-tery
making in the student center.
On Monday evening at 7 Mr.
Sam Hunter, acting director of the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts, will
speak. Mr. Hunter has lectured
widely on art at museums and pub-lic
galleries around the country.
He was formerly professor of art
history at Barnard College and
the University of California. He
has published twelve books on art,
his most recent publication, Mod-ern
Painting and Sculpture, was is-sued
last fall. He is considered one
of the outstanding American au-thorities
on modern art.
At 8:15 Monday evening there
will be a reception in the student
center in honor of Mr. Hunter and
Mr. Booth.
Tuesday night the Bethel band
will be presenting a concert.
The band concert, with Charles
Tucek, pianist, as featured soloist,
is part of the Fine Arts festival
beginning April 1, sponsored by
the cultural council.
Julius Whitinger directs the 46
piece band each Tuesday night and
Thursday noon as they practice for
this concert. This concert will be
their first formal concert of the
year, although they have been ac-tive
in playing for convocations,
football and basketball games.
This symphonic band concert
covers a cross section of musical
tastes, from the baroque period
to the modern. Beginning with the
overture "Au Pay Lorrain" by G.
Balay, a French bandmaster in the
early twentieth century, the mood
is set with this musical picture of
perfect peace and contentment. As
the second number, the band plays
a rhythmical "Taccota for Band"
by Frank Erickson, who writes in
the modern band idiom.
The brilliant "Three Debonairs"
by Clifford P. Barnes features the
trumpet trio, Morris Anderson,
Charlene Evers, and Janet Drury.
The "Baroque Suite" by G. F.
Handel is a selection of three
pieces from Handel's "Water Mu-sic."
The "I Bouree," "II Air," and
"III Finale" are contrasted dynami-cally
to produce its pleasing effect.
Heading the list of candidates
in tomorrow's student senate elec-tions
are presidential nominees,
Bruce Leafblad and Larry Peter-son.
A junior from Waukegan, Ill.,
Mr. Leafblad serves as vice presi-dent
of the senate. In this position
Freshman week and Prospective
Student days have been his re-sponsibility.
He has been vice
president and treasurer of the re-ligious
council, vice president of
the male chorus, and was presi-dent
of his class as a freshman.
Mr. Peterson, a Minneapolis
sophomore is program chairman
for the freshman-sophomore ban-quet
and business manager of the
college choir.
John Carlson, a sophomore from
Effie, Minn., and Dave Stapp, a
sophomore from South St. Paul,
vie for the vice presidency. Mr.
The above sketch and var-ious
bookish illustrations and
announcements that appear in
this paper are presented as
support for National Library
week, April 3-9. Libraries,
bookstores and campus papers
across the country are par-ticipating
in this annual cam-paign
to prod people to do
things that they will probably
enjoy anyway.
Pictured at the left are some
of the elements involved in fine
arts, which is the area of concen-tration
on campus starting tomor-row
evening with Josephine Busa-lacchi's
concert.
Charles Tucek, instructor in phy-sics
and mathematics in the col-lege,
will be featured as the piano
soloist in Grieg's "A Minor Piano
Concerto." A perennial favorite
among concert pianists, this work
by the Norwegian romanticist is
noted for its breathless power and
grandiose style, as well as for its
technical demands on the perfor-mer.
Mr. Tucek studied piano with
Anna Tomlinson Boyd of Illinois
for eight years. He has appeared
in many concerts, featured with
both orchestra and band.
One of the greatest of modern
composers, Bela Bartok, will be
represented on the program by "An
evening in the Village." This con-temporary
composition with con-trasting
moods and rhythm, char-acterized
by an oriental gong, de-picts
life in a typical Hungarian
village.
The band will play several
marches, including the familiar
march from "The Love for Three
Oranges" by the modern composer,
Serge Prokofieff.
"Themes from Caucasian Sket-ches"
by M. Ippolitov-Ivanov fasci-nates
with its lovely exotic tex-ture.
There are many interesting
incidental solos within this color-ful
selection.
Carlson is president of his class
and was vice president of his class
as a freshman. Mr. Stapp is the
treasurer of the social council and
has been active in various class
promotions at homecoming.
Marilyn Benson and Louise Hol-den
are the candidates for record-ing
secretary. A sophomore, Miss
Benson is secretary of the Bodien
dormitory council and comes from
Bigelow, Minn. Hailing from Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa, Miss Holden is
treasurer of the Bodien dormitory
council and secretary of the vice
president's standing committee.
Contending for the office of cor-responding
secretary are juniors,
Thelma Fredrickson and Kathy
Wilsey. Miss Fredrickson is a jun-ior
from Seattle, Wash. Serving
as accompanist with the college
choir for three years, Miss Fred-rickson
was the treasurer of her
freshman class. A junior from Eau
Claire, Wis., Miss Wilsey is trea-surer
of her class, a member of
the cultural council, and a coun-sellor
in Bodien residence.
Canadian Leland Eliason is run-ning
against Truman Turnquist
from Grasston, Minn. in the race
for treasurer. Mr. Eliason is sec-retary
of the Edgren dormitory
council and secrotary-treasurer of
the male chorus. Mr. Turnquist is
president of the junior class and
captain of the basketball team.
The athletic council is planning
a co-rec party on Saturday even-ing,
April 9, in the fieldhouse.
The party will begin at 7:30 p.m.
The council is planning to have
informal athletic activities that
will pertain to the interests of each
participant. There will be activi-ties
from checkers to trampoline.
According to Dick Benert, athletic
council chairman, this will be an
enjoyable and worthwhile evening

Tomorrow
Culminating events of Political
Emphasis week on the Bethel
campus commence tonight as stu-dents
meet in the fieldhouse for
party demonstrations. Each party's
candidates for student senate office
will be introduced and presidential
nominees will each present a state-ment
of their views on campus af-fairs.
Presidential candidates may
be questioned on their opinions
after they have spoken.
Voting will be all day Friday,
April 1, in the student lounge. At
this time, students will make the
official vote on the adoption of
the new school pep song. Election
results will be announced at the
cultural concert on Friday night.
Featured speaker at the convo-cation
tomorrow morning in the
fieldhouse will be Ed Viehman,
former Twin City radio-television
personality and now chairman of
the Minnesota Republican party.
Mr. Viehman's topic will be "Poli-tics:
The Religion of Freedom."
Mr. Viehman once began studies
for the priesthood, served in the
Navy during World War II, was
announcer, master of ceremonies
and executive for WCCO radio and
television, and accepted the full-time
post of state GOP chairman
in January, 1959.

bowling, rook, ping pong or volley-ball.
Mr. Benert suggests that those
attending wear clothing appro-priate
for the planned activities,
such as bermuda shorts, slacks,

that each one bring his own
towel unless he only plans to play
checkers or rook.

Raises Questions
Senate President Tells
of Opportunities
An interesting contrast to this
situation is the election of 1958.
This election involved three parties.
Yes, in 1958 there were 15 willing,
and even eager, candidates.
Why only the handful now ?
Maybe there are not as many
qualified people ? But, certainly
there are more than a handful
possessing a 1.'5 honor point ratio.
There must be another factor.
We will assume that this factor is
lack of interest. Lack of interest
then is the major reason that col-legians
and seminarians with some
A term often used to describe
Bethel is "family." This word car-ries
with it implications of warmth
and closeness, which are not un-desirable
on this campus. And it
is good to be reminded of a cer-tain
oneness of spirit shared here.
But it can be overdone. Constant
reference to the "Bethel family"
wears out the expression and
causes it to lose effectiveness.
And when any word is used to
extremes it can become inaccurate
—especially a word like family
with its sentimental and emotional
overtones. It is healthy to make
such reference when discussing
many common spiritual, cultural,
and economic endeavors and the
like.
But when dynamic qualities on
the campus clash on an administra-tive
issue, an educational policy,
or a disciplinary problem, perhaps
The CLARION co-editors have
come to that time of the year
when they have to choose succes-sors.
One of these positions will
be filled by a member of the staff,
who is already familiar with some
of the technical aspects of the
publication.
The other position, which has
become traditionally, though not
necessarily, a job for a male, is
not yet filled. It would be untrue
to say that this statement is en-tirely
without its S.O.S. aspects,
for we are in a difficult position.
We are looking for a person who
is interested in Bethel and has a
few ideas concerning what Bethel
should be. Contrary to popular
opinion (we would hope this was
popular opinion) the job of writ-ing
editorials does not require a
great deal of writing skill.
News and editorial writing
forms are simple. The only other
real requirement, except persever-time,
leadership ability and a 1.5
honor point ratio don't see fit to
run for office.
One point is worthy of note—
interest in something that requires
that the something be interesting!
Is not the Bethel community
democratically balanced ? When
students feel that administrative
action, or for that matter senate
action, has treated them unfairly,
don't they contact their class offi-cers,
council chairmen or senate
cabinet members—or even go to a
senate meeting, and say, "We have
been wronged; it is your duty and
privilege to do something about
it!" ?
Retiring officers and those elect-ed
are going to have to answer
these questions if the student
senators of 1960-61 are to do more
than appear in the yearbook, la-boriously
turn out an event or two
a month, and be happy when elec-tions
relieve them of their heavy
burden.
another word could be found.
Otherwise we suggest that all our
problems are solvable if confronted
in supper table fashion.
Such an approach can be unjust
to various elements, if for no other
reason than social pressure. On
occasion disagreement violates the
sanctity of the loving domestic
spirit, and the non-conformist and
his views are judged, not by their
worth, but their presentation in
the loving atmosphere.
Bethel is more than a family,
although we like to think that
certain closeness—even a unique
closeness—exists here. But there
are times when we do well to ap-proach
difficulties with an attitude
other than the supper table con-descendence
— an attitude that
would incorporate, not alienate,
the various elements that combine
to make Bethel.
ance, etc., is an interest in Bethel
and some desire to do something
for Bethel. A student newspaper
can be an important force on cam-pus,
if it is presented by serious
people and is actively read. Active
reading means more than reading;
it includes further discussion of
topics presented and maybe a let-ter
to the editor. Unfortunately,
all of the ideals of the campus
newspaper aren't consistently rea-lized
at Bethel—on both the pro-ducer
and reader level.
In concluding this short discus-sion,
we want to make it known
that we are considering possible
editors and would be only too
happy to have more presented to
us. This is an opportunity for the
writer, the critic, the concerned
campus citizen, and the interested
Bethelian.
Interested persons should con-tact

WONDERFUL
NEW WORLDS...
WAKE UP AND I
Dear Editors:
In reply to a letter in the last
CLARION disparaging Mr. Leaf-blad's
pep song, allow me to point
out that the music and lyrics of
that song, contrary to the un-known
critic's opinion, actually do
fit the critic's description of the
ideal pep song. Yet, though I ob-viously
have a vested interest in
this song, I would not urge its
adoption against a strong major-ity
sentiment opposed to it (which
I do not believe exists). But I do
urge an intelligent appraisal of
it by everyone who will vote on it
in this Friday's referendum.
I would also like to express a
thought concerning another, more
consequential matter. I would like
to see, along with the current, and
entirely proper, criticism of the sen-ate
by everyone from you, the Edi-tors
down the the humblest muck-racker
on campus, a criticism by
these same people of the present
functional purposes of the senate.
Is our senate to continue in its
present paradoxical capacity of
both staging and criticizing cam-pus
activities ? This practice has
proved to be somewhat embarrass-ing,
not to say impossible. Could
not the senate be allowed to con-centrate
on its primary supervis-ory
and representative functions
without serving as the student
body's entertainment committee ?
It is largely these humdrum
tasks which prevent the senate
from entering more effectively
by Paul Evan
II Timothy 2:15. "Study to show
thyself approved unto God, a work-man
that needeth not to be asham-ed
rightly dividing the word of
truth."
One of the high points in my
life has been serving as president
of the senate. Along with the ted-ious
hours of work have been many
opportunities to gain valuable ex-perience.
I have been glad that the
lessons I have learned have not
been confined to politics or admin-istration.
One of my most challenging ex-periences
was explaining our
school's religious beliefs to repre-sentatives
from five prominent
into such areas as educational, ath-letic,
financial policy, etc., areas
of considerably more ultimate im-portance
to the school.
This is, of course, an oversimpli-fication
of the problem. It is not
even an original presentation of it.
It would be original, however, if a
good share of our "apathetic" stu-dent
body would feel the burden
of this problem and make it a
focal point of its active critical
capacity.
Dick Benert
The college choir will begin its
spring tour on April 8. The itin-erary
for the choir is as follows:
April 8, Fergus Falls, Minn.; April
9, Thief River Falls; April 10,
Roseau, Minn., Selkirk and Winni-peg,
Man.; April 11, Kenora, Ont.;
April 12, Cook, Minn.; April 13,
Duluth, Minn.; April 14, Iron
Mountain, Mich.; April 16, Mani-stee,
Mich.; April 17, Ludington,
Rockford and Grand Rapids, Mich.;
Twin City colleges and a well-known
radio announcer. It would
have been difficult enough to an-swer
questions concerning my own
religious convictions let alone try-ing
to take into consideration the
many views of students, profes-sors,
and administrators.
Because of this unforgettable
experience one thought has re-mained
with me. An indication of
it is in found in II Timothy 2:15.
We need to be ready to explain
what we believe at any time, and
it is not enough to say we do not
do such-and-such simply because
it is against our religion. This is
the lazy man's way out. As we
mature as Christians it is our
duty to think through and formu-late
our beliefs.
As students of Bethel, we should
recognize the distinct advantage
we have over students of secular
institutions. First, we have the ad-vantage
of having instructors
whose main objective is to develop
Christian scholarship. Second, we
have many opportunities for ex-pressing
our opinions and formu-lating
our ideas.
Third, we have had in the past
and present many inspiring ex-amples
of well balanced, dedicated,
and successful Christian lives. All
this is offered over and above
our academic endeavors. In light
of these facts we can truly thank
God for a school like Bethel; but
even more than this, we can praise
Him because He has given us the
faculty of reason which enables us
to use the tools found in His crea-tion
to formulate our beliefs.
Rainbow Shows
Johnson Work
Eugene Johnson, associate pro-fessor
of art, is opening an exhi-bition
of paintings this evening at
the Rainbow Cafe in Minneapolis.
His oil paintings will be exhibited
through April 29.
Mr. Johnson has been working
on about half of the 25 paintings
exhibited for the past four or five
months. Almost half of the paint-ings
are abstractions.
Born in San Jose, Calif., Mr.
Johnson studied at the University
of Southern California, the Univer-sity
of Minnesota, the University
of Iowa, Coronado school of art,
and Pratt Graphic arts center. He
also spent a sabbatical year in
Mexico where he studied indepen-dently.
His exhibition at the Rainbow

Editors)
The Royal Realists state in their
platform that they would like to
see a greater emphasis placed on
student tradition at Bethel. Since
tradition appears to be scant, there
is an opportunity for the students
attending now to have a part in
starting something of value.
RR proposes the following as
ideas having merit for student
consideration and for senate dis-cussion
in the coming year:
(1) Pep song: RR promotes
adoption of the proposed pep song
at the polls this Friday.
(2) An Alma Mater: RR pro-motes
the adoption of an Alma
Mater to be decided upon by the
student body. At the moment RR
knows of at least two suitable
arrangements written by members
of the faculty.
(3) Senate-sponsored coffee par-ties:
RR suggests that some all-school
events could be sponsored
by the senate. RR suggests that
one of these be a coffee party and
concurrent discussion of matters
of interest and of import to the
student. Senate leaders would head
small discussion groups at these
meetings. This would also promote
closer communication between stu-dents
and the senate.
(4) "Bethel Man" concept: In
the eyes of the student, what
should a Bethel graduate be ? What
characteristics should he have that
are unique ? What should he have
been exposed to ? RR would pro-mote
discussions on this topic with
the ideas of coming to possible
conclusions.

RR Places Emphasis Wanted: Council Cha
On Student Tradition
(5) RR favors the idea that
smaller student organizations be
given financial aid by the senate
for specific programs and events
of all-school interest.
(6) Leadership retreats: RR fa-vors
a pre-school leadership re-treat
each fall for two or three
days, with coming problems being
discussed at greater length. Con-clusions
would be based on wider
discussions. New ideas could be
given greater thought.
(7) Seminar series: Have a fac-ulty
member or someone not on
the faculty conduct a short series
of lecture-discussions in the area
of his expertisse.
(8) Seminary-college separation:
RR favors re-evaluation of the
problems and benefits of separat-ing
the student governments of
the college and the seminary. RR
favors separation of the student
governments and hopes that the
seminary will continue to promote
this.
AREAS OF CONCERN
1. Publicity: RR favors greater
use of student talent in publicity
at Bethel, for news releases to
papers, radio, and T.V., e.g. in
athletic and music departments.
2. T.C. C. S.G. C.: RR feels that
Bethel in this Twin City college
organization can now show its
leadership and favors this action.
3. Dining Hall: RR, in light of
student criticism, favors the con-tinuation
of the present food com-mittee
and encourages a survey
to find the trends of opinion and
the volume of such opinion.
4. "A. E. S."; In light of the
present questionable action on the
part of the A.E.S. constitution, RR
favors looking into the matter to
discover the source of misunder-standing
and mismanagement.
5. Calendar policy: RR favors
better scheduling, more effective
integration and coordination of
council programs and other major
campus events (Founders week,
etc.) in order to present a more
full and balanced overall program.
A few weeks following tomor-row's
election the combined pre-sent
senate and the newly elected
cabinet members will nominate and
vote on the four new council
chairmen.
The council chairmen become
voting members of the senate and
will be able to vote at the com-bined
meeting at the end of May.
They will be able to select their
council members and begin to plan
activities for next year.
The senate is interested to know
which students would like to be

Council chairmen must have a 1.0

and qualified students should in-form

to serve in this capacity.
The jobs of the four council

in the by-laws of the constitution
of the Bethel Student association.

Both teams have a record of
10-4. According to Q. T. Smith,
debate coach, this is an extremely
good record, especially since none
of the participants had ever been
active debators previously.
The debate question for this year
is, "Resolved: That congress should
be given the authority to reverse
decisions of the supreme court."
According to Mr. Smith, the crux
of this problem lies in legislation
on integration and communism.
Participating in the debate at
Hamline will be schools from
Minn., Wisc., Iowa, North Dakota,
and South Dakota.
Bethel now offers one credit per
semester to debators. Mr. Smith
stresses that no requirements are
need for the course.

Reading Course
On Channel 2
You can now improve your read-ing
by watching educational tele-vision.
A 12 week series called
"Efficient Reading," began on
Tuesday, March 22, on Channel 2,
will help the viewing audience in-crease
both speed and comprehen-sion
of reading. The program can
be viewed at 4:30 p.m.
James I. Brown, professor of
rhetoric at the University of Min-nesota,
will be the instructor. He
will adapt for television his class-room
course given to thousands of
students and adults in industry in
this region. A device called a
tachistoscope, formerly used to
train men in aircraft recognition,
will flash words on your television
screen instead of airplane pictures.
The series is prdouced with the
cooperation of the Minnesota Min-ing
and Manufacturing company as
part of the company's continuing
program to encourage educational
achievement.

The final basketball games have
been completed in the men's in-tramural
program with the Barons
obtaining a 7-0 record and captur-ing
first place. The Barons played
consistently good basketball
throughout the season as they
scored 516 points to their oppon-ents
374. They also set a record
by scoring most points for a sin-gle
game. On February 29 they
defeated the Pages by an aston-ishing
127 to 62 score.
Second place went to the Pea-sants
as they compiled a 6-1 re-cord.
There only defeat came at
the hands of the stronger Baron
team in an early season game.
This entire portion of the in-tramural
program received strong
support by the students and was
very successful in offering a good
competitive spirit.

*Unofficial, but pretty accurate
by Larry Bradshaw
Coach Thompson got his first
look at the Royal cindermen Fri-day,
March 25, in a practice meet
against Macalester held in the
Macalester fieldhouse. The Royals
couldn't compare with the better
conditioned and experienced 'Mac'
team, however additional meets be-fore
Easter vacation will help over-come
two big problems—lack of
experience and condition. A third
problem will remain throughout
the season, though, this being the
lack of depth in some events.

Interview
by Harry Cohen
"Well, Mr. Just," said I, "do you
imagine that you could comment
on the overall at-a-glance athletic
situation, locally, nationally and
internationally, in light of con-temporary
trends in physical cul-ture
and recreation both here and
on the continent (i.e. Europe) ; of
course not forgetting the Austral-ians
or the Russians (oh, those
winter Olympics), and keeping in
mind some of your own experien-ces
in health and physical educa-tion."
"Yes, I imagine I could," said
the venerable Plain, a renowned
jump because of unprepared facili-ties.
At present the team is ap-portioned
in this manner:

backer and participant in nearly
all areas of athletics, "as you
know, I am something of a re-nowned
backer and participant in
nearly all areas of athletics."
"We, although Americans, must
remember that we are human!"
Mr. Just restated his memorable
doctrine, which he had first writ-ten
for a quarterly journal of ath-letics
bringing forth ringing let-ters
to the editor bemoaning the
fact that this might be the posi-tion
of American athletes. One let-ter
directed readers to a book
published by the D.A.R. and others
raised such a fuss that Just was
called before a house un-American
activities committee as well as the
Atomic Energy Commission of
Greater St. Louis Park.
"The Russians have realized
that men are human and have com-pensated
by making machines of
themselves (the dirty communists).
Americans haven't realized this.
We think we are machines, when
we are mere flesh and bones, with
the few notable exceptions, of
course of Roy Reagles, Shoeless
Joe Jackson, Ray Felix, Murray
Warmath and Bobby Cox."
"Do you think the - - -"
"No, I don't think the situation
is terribly dangerous. I think that
America is just suffering from a
lapse of inactivity sponsored by
the so-called minds of our day. In
by Dan Anderson
Coach Lynn Lundin and Captain
Al Penner both agree that this
year Bethel can look forward to an
exciting, top-notch baseball sea-son.
One reason for this pleasant pre-diction
is that pitching has always
been the key factor in the Bethel
baseball situation, and this year,
for the first time in Bethel's his-tory,
it looks like Coach Lundin
will be able to work with a regular
pitching staff. Also in this cate-gory
of firsts is the encouraging
fact that this year's freshman
members of the team have come
with more playing experience un-der
their belts than any similar
group has before. This year's
group is experiencing stiff compe-tition
from the outset as almost
every position has two or three
hopefuls fighting for a starting
physical culture and health educa-tion
we will find well-rounded
healthy lives. And we don't need
Norman Vincent Peale."
I applauded; I couldn't help my-self.
Remembering one of the burn-ing
issues on the local level I took
a deep breath, and plunged in, "Mr.
Just, what do you think of mas-cots
and pep songs or rousers for
organized athletic teams."
"At this point I feel that I have
to be cautious, for I can tell that
you want an opinion on the re-cently
proposed pep song and the
ever-recurring idea of a new mas-cot.
There is an inherent good in
high spirits and good morale in
competitive-type competition. But
really, a Royal! What is a Royal,
anyway ? What if every school
used teacher's first names for mas-cots
? Why, our country would be
flooded with Alberts, Walters,
Clarences, and Harolds."
"And what's wrong with Har-olds,
I said vehemently. Just just
smiled and told me there was no
offense meant, and suggested I
just call his Plain-just Plain. Great
man—that Just.
Just commented on rousers. "Pep
songs are fine, but occasionally we
have to re-evaluate and maybe re-organize
our concepts of spirit and
just what goes in an athletic en-berth.
The group has very high
morale and Captain Al Penner be-lieves
that a big factor in the
team's moral is this tight compe-tition.
Since pitching plays such an im-portant
role in Bethel's baseball
outlook, it might be interesting to
take a closer look at one of our
most promising young pitching
prospects—and such a one is lanky
John Holmberg.
Coach Lundin hopes for a lot of
help from "Long" John Holmberg's
whipping fast ball this spring, and
he has some statistics to build his
hopes on. Here are a few of them.
In John's senior year in high
school, his fast ball, coupled with
good control and some junk pitches,
carried him through the entire
season unbeaten. In two of these
games, he hurled a no and a one
hitter, respectively.
But pitching isn't "Long" John's
only attribute. On the days he
didn't pitch for his high school
team, he played center field and
over the entire season, hit at a
blazing .495 clip. After high school
he played more ball—this time it
was Marine ball during his stint
with Uncle Sam.
Things look promising for this
year's baseball team and the season
should prove quite interesting.
vironment. Pep ? Fine, great, but
when it gets to sounding like the
Buffalo Bills sing Ivy League
Songs in three-four time, the spirit
is gone."
"Thank you very much, Mr.
Just."
"Your welcome," he said as he
reved his trembling Lark conver-tible,
pulled down his goggles,
midst the scent of his manly St.
John's Bay Rum after-shave lotion,
"and remember, No beatnik ever
turned out for tennis."
