Revealed by the 1957 Gallup
Poll as one of the most admired
religious leaders in the world, Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., co-pastor
of the Ebenezer Baptist church,
Atlanta, Georgia, will be the fea-tured
speaker at a morning and
evening convocation on Thursday,
Dec. 1, at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. in
the fieldhouse.
Dr. King will address the group
on the general topic of Race Re-lations
at the morning convoca-tion.
In the evening he will speak
on the topic, "Paul's Epistle to
Twentieth Century Christians."
After receiving his elementary
and secondary education in the
public schools of Atlanta, Georgia,
he received his A.B. degree from
Morehouse college in 1948 and his
B.D. from Crozer Theological sem-inary,
Chester, Pa., in 1951. Dr.
King has also studied at the Uni-versity
of Pennsylvania and Har-

sity of the State of New York, and
has grown to one of the largest
overseas study programs in the
United States. Those eligible for
the program include preachers,
college graduates, and college un-dergraduates
interested in a jun-ior-
year-abroad program.
The Seminar is conducted in a
completely Scandinavian environ-ment
and in the language of the
country of residence. Several
months before their departure,
members of the Seminar begin
language study with records sup-plied
by the Seminar. They are
given intensive, accelerated lan-guage
instruction in the first
weeks in Scandinavia.
The Seminar students gain a
good command of the language
which enables them, after three
months in the country, to study
side by side with Scandinavians in
one of the famous folkehojskoler,
adult education centers.
In residence at the folkehojskole
for six months, members of the
Seminar take courses in the hu-manities
and social sciences, live
with a Scandinavian roommate,
and participate in the life of the
school. They also carry out inde-pendent
study projects in their
fields of interest, such as Scan-dinavian
history, adult education,
the cooperative movement, phy-sical
education, and art and de-sign.
The cost for tuition, room and
board for the nine months, lan-guage
materials, and transporta-tion
from New York to Copen-hagen,
is $1480. A limited number
of scholarships and loans is a-warded
each year to qualified ap-plicants.
yard university. In 1955, he re-ceived
his Ph.D. from Boston uni-versity
in the field of Systematic
Theology. Several universities and
seminaries have also presented
him with honorary degrees.
Besides serving as co-pastor,
with his father, of the Ebenezer
Baptist church, Dr. King also
serves present as President Emeri-tus
of the Montgomery Improve-ment
Association, Inc. This is the
organization which guided and
directed the bus protest in Mont-gomery,
Alabama, recently. He is
also president of the Southern
Christian Leadership conference
as well as vice-president of the
National Baptist Sunday School
and B.T.U. Congress.
Several recent publications are
also attributed to Dr. King in-cluding,
Stride Toward Freedom,
published in 1958, and The Mea-sure
of A Man, published in 1959.
According to the joint faculty
and student committees planning
convocations, "The aim of the con-vocation
series is to bring to the
campus community and interested
public artists and speakers of ex-ceptional
competence in their dis-ciplines.
While Bethel and the
audience may not share all of the
ideas of our guests, we believt
that they will help provide a stim-ulating
climate for the vigorous
intellectual growth that should
characterize a Christian center of
higher education."

"Are you willing to go to the
foreign mission field ?" was the
question directed by the Rev. Don-ald
Goldsmith, missionary to Bra-zil,
in an address to Bethel stu-dents,
on Wednesday night, Nov.
16.
Missionaries Lucius Butler and
Donald Goldsmith teamed to pro-vide
a double emphasis in present-ing
the problems, qualifications
and outreach of foreign missions.
This vesper service, the last of
the World Missions Emphasis
Week, was led by Robert Fryk-holm,
seminary senior. Keith Mc-
Connel, college junior, directed the
singing, and John Bohlen, senior,
read scripture and led the group
in prayer.
The Rev. Lucius Butler present-ed
the areas of specialized oppor-tunity
to be found in missions.
The areas briefly touched upon
were the medical outreach, educa-tion
work, and evangelism litera-ture.
The latter was the main con-cern
of Mr. Butler as he is in-volved
in the evangelism litera-ture
outreach on the Japanese mis-sion
field. In essence this mission-ary
told of personal experiences
he encountered in literature work.
His jobs ranged from being a
stock boy to editing a Sunday
school magazine in the native
tongue. Missionary Butler's clos-ing
remark to the group was, "Be
well prepared to carry out a var-iety
of tasks on the foreign field
in an organized effort to spread
the gospel message."
Missionary Goldsmith presented
the need of Brazil in that only five
million people of the 64 million in
that country are in some contact
with the gospel message. A chal-lenge
to the Christian church was
stated by the fact that the heathen
population is growing faster than
people are being won to Jesus

Christ Searches for Sincere Heart Christ Is Our Life; We Can
Amid Christmas Hustle and Bustle Only Become Complete in Him Lawrence Ferlinghetti, a San Francisco beatnik, has penned
a very appropriate Christmas poem, a bit of which is paraphrased here:
Christ came down from His bare tree this year and went in search of
an untinsiled, unornamented, unliquored birthday party where a sin-cere
heart would welcome Him instead of the corruption of make-believe
Santas and bulging cash registers.
Here we are, barely half-way through November and already shop-ping
centers, supermarkets, and uptown business streets are cluttered
with brightly colored ornaments, Santa faces, wreaths, and pine
branches.
by Jim Nelson
It is a common statement in the formulation of
our creeds and prayers to express desire for fellow-ship
with God. Something that is so obvious to us
as Christians seems to be lacking in the Christian
experience of many when they begin to confess of
the deep inward void that opens their soul's to
every pain of circumstance. The strength of being
"in Christ" is not their experience but only a lit-erary
expression that Paul used. Their lives are not
held and filled by the Christ they profess to follow.
Why is it that we meet so few Christians who
seem to really know the person of Christ? Many of
us seem content to learn the right words about
Him, say nay in the right places and yea in the
right places, for then we have a good chance of
being labeled spiritual.
The desires of our heart are often controled by
the Christian-social context that is our environment.
In this we follow each other and conform to each
other, rather than see Christ lifted up over these
important but temporal factors of life.
In viewing our life in Christ, we must keep in
mind two factors. One, Christ is our life; and two,
our, life is only complete and fulfilled in Him. Two
phrases in Galatians 2:20 reveal the first of these
factors: "it is no longer I who live, but Christ who
lives in me." As a Christian, Christ lives my life,
I in Him and He in me. Christ is my mind, my will,
and my spirit, and I am a member of His body to
show forth His glory. Christ does not want to help
me. He wants to be my life in perfect fellowship
and union in Him, working His life and purpose
out in me.
The second factor finds its expression in Ephe-sians
4:13 where Paul describes the end of the work
of the ministry (lay and clerical together) as the
attainment "to mature manhood, to the measure of
the stature of the fullness of Christ." Christ is
true and perfect man. Only as we are in Him can
this "measure" be ours. Whatever Christ was or is
we are in Him, and our sense of being an authentic
and true man can only be realized in someone who
is.
Oh, for the sense of true fellowship with God,
when through Christ God's Man takes you and me
as Christians up into Himself and we become every-thing
He is! We then become the very life of God,
and God does then not seem external to us. No
longer will we have to reach out for something
always beyond our grasp, for we will know that
Christ is our life and we are not external to Him
but in Him.
And for what reason ? To help men to prepare their hearts for the
sacred holiday which lies ahead ? To foster the warmth of brotherly
love and "good will to men ?" No! To hasten and quicken the jangle of
cash register bells and fatten the bankroll of the greedy businessman,
that's what the decorations are promoting.
Every year churchmen cry, "Put Christ back into Christmas," and
every year their cry is heeded less—while the businessman stuffs more
dollars into his pocket.
What should be done ? It would be more fittingly put, who wants
to do anything about it ? Do the preachers, the deacons, the ushers, the
Sunday school teachers want an uncommercialized Christmas ?
If they do, they have to do more than talk about putting Christ
back into Christmas, they have to remove the dollar sign which has
pushed Him out. Does the minister want to do this, do I, do you ?

Senate Concerned Over
Status of Student Gov't.
by Bruce Leafblad
Student Senate President
A deep concern of your senate president this year has been involved
in the present status of student government on our campus. The stu-dent
senate is fairly well-steeped in the tradition of restricting itself
to the supervision of the fringe issues of co-curricular activities, for
the most part. Of course, one cannot deny that such preoccupation may
be sufficiently exhausting for the members of such a body to keep them
from taking up other, possibly more serious matters. But is this to be
the extent of student government work ? This seems to me to be one
of the principal reasons for the comparatively low level of prestige
which our student government has had to tolerate. Is it any wonder
that it is so difficult to interest students in student government?
It is certain that in student government we will always be faced
with the chronic problem of gaining the respect and confidence of our
constituents, the student body, on which our successful functioning
must ultimately rest. The prestige of student government rests squarely
on the types of projects in which it engages itself and how its programs
are carried out. If we disregard the broader aspects of our possible
role in the life of the campus, we should not be disappointed if we are
accorded no more importance than the usual "activities." The senate
MUST GOVERN, i.e., promote student welfare, protect student inter-ests,
and meet student needs in a responsible and serious manner. Stu-dent
government in any other light becomes little more than a possibly
harmful waste of time. Bad student government merely bolsters the
thesis that college students are basically irresponsible children away
from home.
Why is not the student government of our campus involved in the
more meaningful and significant decision-making that is going on in
our school ? Perhaps one of the reasons is that our own student govern-ment
has not in the past been concerned to any significant extent in
such matters, as I have mentioned above. But this certainly does not
imply that student leaders of the past have not been capable of respon-sible
work in these areas. Beyond the lack on the part of traditional
government on our campus is the definite lack on various levels of
administration. Administrators have not persistently sought to employ
the industry, the fresh thinking, the direct concern, and genuine ambi-tion
of the students in the overall administration of the school.
For the purpose of illustration, turn with me for a moment to
the area of policy-making. In recent years student influence and par-ticipation
in this area of college administration has been steadily on
the increase in our nation's colleges and universities. This movement
has been closely tangent to a concern for democratic method and spirit
in higher education. In this context democratic method is centered more
on eliciting the best judgment possible from all groups in the institu-tion
with recognition that the good ideas and concern for the stan-dards
of the institution are shared by many individuals. Any scheme
of student participation in the committees of the school should also
contemplate a parallel participation by faculty and staff officers. The
school will then be served by appropriate contributions elicited from all
elements of the college campus.
We often hear our school referred to as the Bethel family or the
Bethel community, but these are hardly fair terms to use when we look
beneath the surface. Not until student participation in our college gov-ernment
is alive and vital are we justified in saying that our college
is a community, much less a family. Over the years our students have
heard a constant repetition of hopeful democratic phrases which have
created the illusion of free participation in a creative process, but we
have not realized the full satisfactions which come only through genuine

(cont'd. from p. 2)
sharing of responsibility and of decision-making. The student is led to
believe that he is something of a free agent, participating in the deter-mination
of his educational progress; but a look beneath the surface
will show that his actions are, for the most part, determined by the
faculty and administration. If our changing world is going to continue
to make such great demands of college graduates, our colleges and
universities are going to have to put into practice the democracy about
which they speak so much. Former President H. N. MacCracken of
Vassar college had this to say: "If we want the worst kind of petty
tyranny and personal self-seeking in the federal government we shall
continue our present system of college administration which denies stu-dent
government all authority except over the most trivial aspects of
student life. If we want a truly liberal state we'll begin by granting
student government all the power it can enforce and maintain, by liv-ing
with it as an invaluable instrument of education, and by always liv-ing
up to it in absolute faith."
To conclude—the Bethel student government does not enjoy either
the prestige or the status which it deserves. I do not point the finger of
accusation at any one group of people in this case; the student body,
the student leaders, the faculty, and the administration are all to some
degree responsible for this. Likewise, each group will have to share
in the responsibility of making Bethel the true community which we
all wish it to be. Then, and only then, shall each enjoy his rightful
place, and student government will no longer need to tolerate a second-rate
position.

Higher Ed.
Comm. Meets
A special committee appointed
by the Board of Trustees of the
Baptist General conference met
Nov. 3 for the purpose of study-ing
the total needs for higher edu-cation
of the conference for the
next generation. Pastor Maurice
Lawson of Whittier, California is
chairman of the group. This com-mittee
is important to Bethel in
that Clifford Larson, academic
dean, is one of the members of
the group.
The committee will consider
whether other schools should be
established in various parts of the
country. They are considering what
part Bethel will be playing in this
and also what will be the future
of the Vancouver Bible institute.
Among the other topics under
study is that of studying what
other denominations have done in
this field. They are also concern-ed
for the specific needs of Can-ada,
which are somewhat differ-ent
from those of the United
States.
The committee will meet again
in January and in March and
hopes to have a final report ready
by June when the annual confer-ence
will be held on the Bethel
campus.

In early October, delegates from
24 Ohio, Indiana and Michigan
schools, attending a Human Rela-tions

PRINCETON, N. J. (UPS) —
Delegates to a conference on Am-erican
Youth and the Emerging
Nations voted to set up a perman-ent
organization to explore pos-sibilities
of setting up a youth
peace corps. More than 100 east-ern
student leaders met with busi-nessmen
and experts on emergent
Africa, Asia and Latin America at
Princeton university this weekend
in an effort to initiate nationwide
support for the peace corps.
Such a corps would be designed
to provide an expression of Am-erican
concern and to work with
local problems in the world's un-derdeveloped
areas.
Participants discussed govern-ment
sponsored proposals for a
peace corps offered by Rep. Henry
Reuss (D.—Wis.), and Sen. Hu-bert
Humphrey (D.—Minn.), both
of which have been endorsed by
President-elect John Kennedy in
recent speeches in San Francisco
and Chicago. A privately sponsor-ed
plan presented by Thomas Me-lady,
African affairs authority
who called the conference, was also
discussed.
Major addresses were given by
Sir Hugh Taylor, president of the
Woodrow Wilson National Fellow-ship
foundation, Taylor Ostrander
of American Metals Climax and
Dr. Melady.
Represented at the discussions
were President - elect Kennedy,
Senator Humphrey, the Young
Adult council, the National Stu-dent

for Youth and Student Affairs, In-stitute
of International Education,
American Society of African Cul-ture,

Seminar delegates also voted to

action and publish a news-letter.
Oberlin college was desig-nated

Boston area anti-discrimination
groups, headed by the Emergency
Public Integration committee
(EPIC) are also shifting atten-tion
to local difficulties. Boston
University EPIC is focusing on
discrimination in fraternities and
sororities, while Brandeis students
concentrate on housing.
American university in Wash-ington
has formed a civil rights
committee to work for equal civil
rights for all citizens; a similar
committee has been formed by
University of Kansas students.
Formal student government ac-tion
on civil rights has been taken
by at least four schools: Hunter
college, Southern Illinois univer-sity,
and the Universities of Michi-gan
and Minnesota.
Hunter college student govern-ment
voted unanimously to sup-port
the USNSA Congress special
resolution which calls for continu-ous
support of the non-violent
civil rights movement. The Hunter
resolution mandated the Council
to send protest letters to local of-ficials
and chain stores which
continue segregation practices and
support letters to imprisoned sou-thern
students.
In October, the Southern Illinois
student council sent letters to Gov-ernor
Ernest Vandiver of Georgia
protesting the arrests of students
involved in sit-in activities and
letters of support to the jailed
students.
Student Council at Michigan has
passed legislation protesting re-cently
enacted southern anti- tres-passing
laws, used as weapons
against sit-in demonstrators. Let-ters
detailing the decision were
sent to Governor Vandiver of Geo-rgia,
the Student Non-violent Co-ordinating
committee and Atlanta
Mayor William Hartsfield.
In a roll call vote, the council
also reaffirmed its "support of
the principles, spirit and activities
of the southern sit-in movement."
Similar action was taken by the
Minnesota student council.

ment refused to grant Nkosi's ap-plication
for a passport. Univer-sity
officials speculated that the
Union was retaliating against
Nkosi for his attacks on South
Africa's apartheid policies.
Condemning the Government's
refusal to grant a passport to
Nkosi, South Africa's Institute of
Race Relations called it an action
which "could only once again ex-pose
South Africa to world cen-sure."
White students have been
permitted to leave the country
freely.
Nkosi's former employer, the
Johannesburg Post, criticized the
government's action saying, "This
country now loses the services of
a man who would have served his
people all the better after his year
at a great American university,
and the government gains the
world spotlight for an act of spite
which will not easily be lived down.
The South African government
did not indicate reasons for its
sudden change in policy.
Nkosi plans to study magazine
writing and recent developments
in mass communications theory
while at Harvard.
The seminary evangelism class
will be at Calvary Baptist church,
2120 N. Lexington, for a week of
evangelistic meetings beginning
Nov. 27.
Alphin Conrad, professor of
evangelism, will be in charge and
Gordon Johnson, director of field
work, will be assisting. Supple-menting
the evening services will
be a program of visitation direct-ed
by Arthur Ellison, pastor.
The meetings will begin Sunday
morning with Dr. Johnson speak-ing,
the students will then con-duct
the evening service and the
special meetings Tuesday through
Friday, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Dr.
Conrad-will end the series with a
message on Sunday morning, Dec.
4.
Dr. Johnson, referring largely to
the visitation program, had this to
say, "This could prove to be one
of the most effective field work
programs integrated with class."
The twenty students who will be
participating in this service have
been training and planning all of
the fall quarter. William Cram,
seminary student and deacon at the
church has been influential in
making the arrangements.
The visitation is in direct con-junction
with the church, and
church literature will be used. The
students will visit in pairs as their
schedules permit and will talk
with the people concerning a de-cision
for Christ and living a
Christian life.
- Some of -the -participants have ex-pressed
hope that this will supply
valuable experience for a future
series of meetings, possibly in the
spring.

Cross Country-New Endeavor
Deserves Serious Thought
perhaps the best of all sports for which the students had already
conditioning. Many basketball and paid.
wrestling coaches require it. A major problem for many ath-letic
programs at Bethel is where
can it be held or practiced for ?
Como Park golf course answered
our problem perfectly. The Mac-alester
team paid tribute to our
course as the finest they had run
on all fall.
The method of scoring the sport
is favorable to a college such as
Bethel. Had some of the proven
distance runners at Bethel been
willing to compete this fall, the
score could have been turned when
we faced Macalester and St. Olaf.
So great is the potential for this
sport at Bethel that the trite riv-alry
with Northwestern can be
traded for one against Macalester
or St. Olaf.
Often the complaint is heard
that athletics use only a select
few for participation. Let us use
this year's team in light of this
criticism. In every meet Bethel
uses eight men, the amount that
practices regularly. Of the eight,
seven were freshmen, of the seven
freshmen, three had never run be-fore
in competition.
Cost, a usual factor giving
problems to athletic teams, is not
a factor in this sport. Uniforms
are the same as for track. Travel
is the greatest cost, this year it
doesn't run over $20. for the com-plete
season. Food costs were re-funded

As a new endeavor in athletics
this year, the potential and de-velopment
of cross country teams
at Bethel in the future must be
given serious thought by students
and faculty.
Probably the greatest criticism
against this sport will be that it
is injurious to the athlete's heart
or lungs. However, each man who
participates goes through a phy-sical
exam and cannot compete
unless a doctor approves. We have
as yet to see or hear of a physi-cian
who kept his patient from the
sport for this reason. Neither have
we heard complaints from coaches
or participants, quite to the con-trary,
it has been looked upon as
Dukes, Squires
Top Intramurals
The Dukes, headed by Don Pet-erson,
sophomore, and the Squires,
headed by Gordon Bear, sopho-more,
now lead in the volleyball
intramural tournament. Both teams
have three wins and no losses.
The Peasants and the Knights
are in second place with two wins
and one loss. "It looks as if there
will be some close, exciting com-petition
this year in the intra-mural
program," said Owen Hal-leen,
physical education teacher.
The intramural sports program
for men started Oct. 31, and will
start Nov. 29 for women. There
are eight men's teams that par-ticipate
every , Monday night at
7:00 in one of several sports. After
the volleyball tournament is fin-ished,
wrestling, basketball, ibad-minton,
handball, softball and
other sports will be played.
Women's intramurals will be
held Nov. 29, 7 p.m. in the gym.
A variety of activities will be
available including exercises, tram-poline,
singing and jump roping.
Mrs. Owen Halleen is the director
of the women's intramural pro-gram.
At 8:30 on the same evening,
women's basketball practice will
be held. According to coach John
Holmberg, there were twenty girls

Last night's basketball opener
saw the Bethel Blue and Gold go
down 59-50 in a hard fought game
with LaCrosse. Although they re-mained
within three baskets of
victory throughout most of the
game, they were unable to pull
into the lead.
Starting for Bethel were five
returning lettermen: John Peter-son
and Truman Turnquist, for-
Royals Edged
At Homecoming
The Royals were edged 26-25 by
General Beadle in the last minutes
of the Homecoming game Nov. B.
The Royals scored early in the
first quarter on a quarterback
sneak by Ken Baird. Making the
extra point, the Royals led 7-0.
Treating General Beadle like an
old rubber glove they bent the
defensive line at will.
The aerial game of the second
quarter netted Bethel its second
touchdown. Jon Kolbrek, receiving
a 41 yard pass put the team in
scoring position. On the third play,
a 20 yard pass, Don Peterson com-pleted
the 67 yard drive for a
touchdown.
General Beadle's Trojans scored
twice late in the second quarter.
Tieing the game 13-13 at half
time.
Jim Nelson scored the only
touchdown of the third quarter
and followed it with another in
the fourth. The fourth quarter
touchdown rally moved the ball
56 yards in four plays. Running
for the extra point Jim Nelson
had his foot in the end zone but
was unable to get the ball into
paying territory.
Capitalizing on a Bethel fumble
as Ken Baird went around left end,
General Beadle scored on a 55
yard run. Seconds later the Tro-jans
ran back a kick to Bethel's
15, threw a pass for 13 yards and
scored. A run around right end
was good for the extra point.
A final drive by the Royals mov-ed
the pigskin to within seven
yards of victory when time ran
out. Coach Halleen says that all
we needed to win was 30 seconds
more time.

Bethel took the lead early in the
first period but this proved in-sufficient
to win the game as La-
Crosse manipulated its fast break.
John Peterson, captain of this
year's squad, led several scoring
attacks. Trailing by four points,
with one minute 40 seconds left
in the ballgame, the Royals called
time out to plan their last attack.
Crashing into a solid defense and
encountering a fleetfooted offense
they fell to a 59-50 defeat.
The top scorer of the evening
was Bethel's captain, John Peter-son,
with 30 points. Four other
lettermen were entered in the
Bethel scoring column : Truman
Turnquist 8, Jim Ekblad 5, Lee
Bajuniemi 3, Dick Larson 2. Fresh-man
guard Bob Larson netted two
points on a field goal.
High scorers for LaCrosse were
Pete Hassemer with 21 points and
Dean Conrad with ten.
In the preliminary game the
"B" squad lost 48-60 to Hamline
University. This team comprised
mainly of freshmen displayed
great potential. Jan Kolbrek led
the Bethel scoring with 19 points
and got 17 rebounds and Bob Lar-son
was second with 16 points.
