Shakespeare, Burns Included
In Knox's Convo Program
Following a theme of interna-tional
friendship, the World Mis-sions
Fellowship will act as host
to Bethel students and their for-eign
guests at the International
Smorgasbord. The dinner and en-tertainment
will take place in the
dining hall on Friday, Apr. 21, at
7:30 p.m.
Hostesses dressed in native cos-tumes
from countries such as
Mexico, Sweden, India, Ethiopia,
and Japan, will serve the smor-gasbord
which also includes many
foreign dishes.
Variety in entertainment is pro-mised
as the different cultures are
represented by candle-dancing from
India, drummers from Africa, and
various singers.
Bethel students have the oppor-tunity
of inviting a foreign stu-dent
from a school in the Twin
City area to be their guest for the
Exotic foreigness will pervade
the atmosphere of the annual

for the entire evening.
Friday evening, Apr. 28, is the
date set for the banquet and the
evening. The names of foreign
students and the means of contact-ing
them are available from Linda

New Definitions
Editor's note : Dr. Peterson is on
sabbatical leave this year and
has been in Washington, D.C.,
since February, studying church
and state relations.
by Walfred H. Peterson
Assoc. Prof. of Political Science
The doctrine of separation of
church and state was given an im-portant
administrative definition
on Mar. 29 by the department of
Health, Education, and Welfare. In
a well documented brief, developed
with the cooperation of the Justice
Department, four main points were
made:
1. "Across-the-board grants to
church schools may not (con-stitutionally)
be made."
2. "Across-the-board loans to
church schools are equally in-valid."
3. "Tuition payments for all
church school pupils are in-valid
since they accomplish by
indirection what grants do
directly."
4. "It is . . . likely that where
funds are made available
to a church school on a
loan basis for special purposes
not closely related to religious
instruction, constitutional ob-jections
may be avoided."
(cont'd. on page 3)
His two-day visit here is made
possible by a project sponsored
jointly by the association of Am-erican
Colleges and the Danforth
Foundation. The purpose of this
program is to "strengthen the in-tellectual,
the religious, and the
cultural aspects of liberal educa-tion
in the United States." His
complete tour as a Danforth lec-turer
will take him to twelve col-leges
and universities in various
parts of the country.
About his choice of topics, Pro-fessor
Knox states: "Being a Scot
who retains his native tongue, I
shall speak on Burns, reading some
of his poems and discussing their
artistry. However, my main schol-arly
concern has been with the
Elizabethan drama, and more es-pecially
with Shakespeare, and I
chose to talk on his conception
and practice or comedy, on which
less has been written than on his
tragedies."
After attending initial Scottish
schools, professor Knox earned his
M.A. degree at the University of
Aberdeen, and completed his B.A.
degree at Oxford University, where
he also won the Oldham Prize for
Shakespeare. Following this he was
a lecturer and a professor at the
University of Glasgow and at the
University of Calcutta, India. After
XTcrld War I, Mr. K.nsx went tc
Canada, and since then has served
in the Department of English at
University College in the Univer-sity
of Toronto and in its School of
Graduate Studies.
Texts of Marlowe's and John-son's
works have been edited by
Professor Knox for Methuen and
Company, and for Macmillan he
has edited the St. Martin's Shake-speare.
He has contributed articles
to many university publications
and journals, and Macmillan of
Canada has asked him to do a new
book on Shakespeare's comedies.
Admissions
Deadline
Set May 1
May 1 has been set as the final
date for accepting applications for
admission to Bethel's freshman
class for the coming school year.
The number of applications has so
far more than doubled last year's
total.
Until recently, students have
been admitted on a modified first
come, first serve basis; however,
because of the increase, Dean Lar-son
has annuonced a revised admis-sions
policy. Besides academic con-sideration,
selection will be based
more on personal qualities and
abilities, and, if possible, on spir-itual
maturity.
In addition, more preference will
be given to those affiliated or iden-tified
with the Baptist General
conference. A ratio of 80% con-ference
students to 20% of stu-dents
from all other groups will
most likely be used in limiting ap-plicants.
An approximate ratio of
60:40 now exists.

Editor's note: This letter was
dated March 14, 1961, and was ad-dressed
to the previous editor of
the paper.
When the editor expresses an
editorial opinion on a controversial
topic, she may be on safe ground
since it is an expression of an
opinion on that topic. However,
when the editor chooses to appeal
to mathematics to support an
opinion, she leaves herself open
to serious criticism if the mathe-matical
ideas have been misused.
In the opening editorial of the
March 10 issue of the CLARION
the editor committed several ser-ious
mathematical errors.
Assume the student mentioned in
the editorial obtains the $300 on
February 1 and repays the whole
principal plus interest on August
1. Bethel would charge the student
3% per annum (year) on the $300
plus the $3 service charge (which
goes toward covering the admini-strative
costs). The charge would
be computed as follows:
I=prt, p=$300, r=3% or .03,
t= 1/2 year (6 mo.)
. • . 1=$300x0.03x 1/2 =$4.50
Total charges: $4.50+$3.00=
$7.50
The editor suggests that the
charges equal eight per cent of
the loan. A simple computation
will determine that $7.50 is two
and one-half per cent of $300. This
is not, however, a convenient way
to consider these charges since the
service charge is fixed.
If the editor would check some
banks in this area, she would find
that two types of loans are avail-able:
1. Note: Money kept until due
date of note, interest prepaid,
and most banks charge 7%
per annum or higher.
2. Installation loans: Money paid
in monthly installments, but
the interest is computed on
the whole principal for the
full period of the loan. The
actual interest rate is about
12% or higher.
It should be noted that at Bethel
a student may repay the total loan
or any part thereof. Bethel com-putes
the interest for the actual
period of time the money is loan-ed
and on the balance outstanding
at the time of the payment. Also,
any interest paid to the school is
automatically placed in the loan
fund and becomes available for ad-ditional
student loans. The school
receives no benefit from the loans.
Considering the above factors,
Bethel students benefit greatly by
the Bethel Student Loan Fund.
Mathematics can aid in the sup-port
of an opinion, but please do
not misuse it in future attempts.

Instructor of Mathematics

AUTHOR'S DEFENSE—REASONS FOR THE ARTICLE:
1. To furnish information on a timely subject about which there
is no reading matter in the Bethel library.
2. To provide light reading for relaxation following the pilgrimage
through the scholarly volume on Dispensationalism which is the re-quired
book for faculty study this month.
3. To meet the challenge presented by a member of the Faculty
Journal committee.
BIBLIOGRAPHY:

INTRODUCTION:
Te be known as an authority on the subject Love-life on the Bethel
Campus is a humbling experience and one which carries great responsi-bilities.
Let it be understood that the vast amount of information has
been gained by observation and scientific research, not by personal ex-perience.
The Bethel campus seems to be a natural habitat for those who love
one another and one of Bethel's aims as an institution interested in
Higher Education is to furnish a "Happy Hunting Ground" for Modern
Youth.
In a careful study of data collected between the years 1925-1961 the
following classification becomes evident.
CLASSIFICATION—TYPES OF LOVERS WHO HAVE ATTENDED
BETHEL:
1. The Starry-eyed Dreamer Type.
These lovers gaze adoringly into each others eyes as they dream—
always and everywhere. In a follow-up survey it has been discovered
that they now see stars of much greater brilliance and that the "sweet
nothings" which they have whispered on the campus air really are
nothing.
2. The Purse-bearer Type.
The tall, handsome youth is brave enough and strong enough to
carry "lillums' " heavy purse. After the wedding "lillums" is strong
enough to carry her own purse as well as his, and she holds the purse-strings
"ever after."
3. The Campus-leaders.
The Bethel student senate has a motto: "Every Student a Leader."
There are many who lead each other up the steps, down the steps, down
the hall, and into the chapel where they continue to hold hands. This
type causes much frustration on the part of observers as no one can
determine who is leading whom.
4. The "Puppy-love" Type.
These are the ever-present cuddlers who inhabit the lounges, who
occupy only one-half of a car seat, and who make any spot on the
campus a "mushing" area.
This type proves the old saying that "puppy love leads to a dog's
life."
Think of being separated from a leash only by death.
5. The Crooner Type.
This singing sobster is a fore-runner or follower of Elvis and cannot
be separated from his "musical instrument." When he sings "I've got
Love and a Dime" it is evident that he over-estimates his financial
holdings. Whenever one is subjected to his nasal whine the thought
comes that the poor campus wolf is no doubt in a trap from which he
will never escape.
6. The "Moon-light Gambler" Type.
This type furnishes the main reason for locking all classrooms and
offices each evening. It is certain that he and his dream girl will be

Editorials:
Anonymous Notes Reveal
Immaturity And Insincerity
A rash of anonymous notes to various Bethel students has occured
in the course of recent weeks. These notes have been critical in nature
and ranged in topic from disapproval of the mode of dress to censure of
personal action or personal expression of ideas. Characterized by being
unsigned, the missives have not reflected a high degree of literary com-petence.
It is not known whether these letters have been the work of
a single individual or group on campus.
However, the sincerity of both the motive and objective of the
sender in such instances is to be seriously questioned in view of the
fact that the censor did not feel it necessary to identify himself. If an
individual feels that reproval is necessary, it would seem evident that
a personal approach is more appropriate and probably the only legiti-mate
means of achieving any desired change, especially on a campus
where students uphold Christian principles. Anonymous notes find their
niche in the category of threatening forms of communication such as
gossip and black-mail. Also, the lack of author identification reveals a
degree of immaturity on the part of the composer since he is not willing
to be publicly responsible for his actions.
It is desirable that such reprehensible actions are discontinued.
Social Council Commended;
Dress-up Night Has Improved
The CLARION wishes to commend the social council for the work
that has been done in promoting changes in the traditional scheme of
events of dress-up night in the dining hall. Some of the amenities of
gracious living should be an integral part of an individual's social exis-tence
and the institution of a degree of formality in dining is worth-while.
The consistency with which the program has been adherred to since
its beginning is of note and the appreciation of the students using din-ing
hall facilities seems to have evidenced itself in stricter conformance
to the manner of dress which is suitable to the occasion. Students who
have donated their time as hosts and hostesses, waitresses, and musi-cians
may also be complimented.

Abolition' May be 'New Wave

not encourage His followers to discover for them-selves
some new propositional truth, or to form a
new system of doctrine or ethics for themselves.
The whole modern craving for views of one's own
is out of keeping with Jesus' idea that His disciples
are the chosen people of God, not just an assort-ment
of original thinkers."
We as Christians are in a kingdom, the author-ity
of which belongs entirely to God and His rule.
We are told by our Lord to seek this kingdom first,
supremely above all else, all of life proceeding from
that one experience, God's rule in the Christian's
life. How often our moral and spiritual rebellion
reveals itself manifestly in intellectual rebellion to
traditional authority, beliefs, or rules. The tradition
may be wrong and hypocritical or not, but our re-action
at times suffers from wrong, for the destruc-tion
done is often greater than the harmfulness of
whatever we sought to expose; thus, the body or
fellowship of Christ is rent, and the grievious sin
against the Holy Spirit is made, whose coming at
Pentecost peculiarly united the remnant into the
church.
Instead of looking deep within for the muse that
will establish our individuality, let us look away
from self, unitedly viewing the Master, our head,
of whom we are His body. Let us not be afraid and
proud to look for our commonness in our common
Christ, unitedness in a spiritual unity, and love in a
fellowship of love, for "knowledge puffs up but love
builds up (I Cor. 8:1)."
'Knowledge puffs up;
by Jim Nelson
It seems that at every hand we are told to
think for ourselves, stand on our own two feet, strike
out independently, or hold to something that we have
thought out on our own. In the field of intellectual
endeavor and on the college campus this emphasis
stands out, lording over all — be creative; come
to your own conclusions; don't just take things on
authority from others, but think independently.
How does all this affect the Christian, especially
those emeshed in intellectual activity in a greater
way than the average person? It is true that many
Christians neither stand under authority or think
creatively in a helpful way. I suppose most of us
would be in this category, and it is right that we
should be encouraged as Christians to use our crea-tive
potential for greater effectiveness and growth
in the kingdom's work. On the other hand, there
are also a few, and they begin to multiply on a
college campus with a demoralizing effect, who
misuse and misplace this God-like ability to think
and create. They seem to glory in a free-thinking-way
in their original, independent, courageous, and
often peculiar position on certain matters.
We have these people at Bethel, self-styled and
set in rebellion, or, in a seeming mature manner,
aloof from the crowd, even from the body of Christ,
of whom they claim to belong. Otto Piper, New
Testament professor at Princeton, set my thinking
along these lines with this statement: "Jesus does

Of Church-State Separation
(cont'd. from page 1)
Nothing in the legally worded
statement threatens the present
loan program of the National De-fense
Education Act that makes
loan funds available to students in
church-related colleges, nor are
there any challenges in the docu-ment
to the present program which
aids church-related colleges with
long term loans for dormitories.
Bethel participates in both pro-grams.
Legal scholars and politicians
will be most interested in the sec-ond
of the four points. The Sup-reme
Court has never spoken to
that express point in a case, and
some students of the law, includ-ing
senator Wayne Morse, chair-man
of the Senate Education Sub-committee,
hold a different view.
They believe that, if the loan is
really a loan and not sub rosa aid,
across-the-board loans to church
schools would be legitimate.
Politicians, some of them under
pressure of Catholic constituencies,
have been considering a broad loan
program called for by the bishops
of the Roman Catholic church. The
National Catholic Welfare Confer-ence
insists that such loans are
clearly constitutional.
If the new document differs from
present legal definitions of separa-tion
of church and state, it does
so by making that separation more
decisive. It interprets the McCol-lum
case to mean that the court
refused to allow the "lending" of
school rooms to religious agencies.
By analogy, any general lending
program would be invalid under
the First Amendment.
While the Supreme Court may
not agree with this analogy, if and
when a case involving state or
federal loans to church schools
comes before it, the new statement
must be regarded as an important
one. Until it is altered or until
it is made obsolete by a contrary
action of the Congress, the brief
will serve as a guide to executive
departments that handle church-state
matters.
An official in HEW told this
reporter on Mar. 23 that the then-unreleased
statement was as au-thoritative
a policy position as the
department had.

Bethel is exploring the possi-bility
of working in conjunction
with Big Trout Lake Camp in the
establishment of a work-study
program for Bethel students dur-ing
the summer months at the
camp.
ON CAMPUS
Three departments are primar-ily
interested in this program—
athletic, biology and religious edu-cation.
It is hoped that eventually
Bethel will be able to offer credit
for work done at Big Trout in
these three areas. Students would
live at the camp probably for a per-iod
of six weeks, and would be en-gaged
in a program combining
classroom study and participation
in the operation of the camp pro-gram.

LITTLE MAN
Concern has been expressed re-cently
about the campus traffic
problem. The student senate has
organized a committee to investi-gate
the problem and possible solu-tions.
The following opinions are
those expressed by some of
Bethel's faculty and student body.
Chuck Bloomquist, on-campus
freshman: "Being the owner of a
car, I realize the traffic problem
we are faced with here at Bethel.
Something should be done which
would enable students to park
their cars on Bethel's property
and not in front of the homes of
the community. Much of the prob-
TMM''''''' lem could be cur-tailed
if the stu-dents
weren't too
lazy to park in
the fairgrounds.
There is ample
room for all the
cars, and it
would clear up
some of the con-gestion
in the
parking lot.
"I think cars that are used very
infrequently should not be allow-ed
in the parking lot or on sur-rounding
streets. If we will co-operate
we can cut down on the
traffic problem."
Carl Graf, off-campus student:
"The school requests that the car
owners park their cars on the cam-pus
proper, or on the side of the
streets adjacent
to the campus.
This appears to
be physically im-possible
unless
everyone drives
a Volkswagon.
Possibly a de-vice
to stack the
large conven-tional
cars might
be employed. Or perhaps the pre-sent
parking could be expanded."
Al Penner, married off-campus
student: "I don't think a real prob-lem
exists. It is a fact that some
neighbors complain about cars
which are parked in front of their
houses. Yet all too often these
are just a few chronic complain-ers.
"We need to be
careful that we
do not cause un-due
criticism of
what we stand
for at Bethel. On
the other hand,
Christians al-ways
will be
criticized. We
need to remem-

May be Initiated for Students
ber that criticism without evalua-tion
should not warrant a change
in anybody's behavior."
Mr. Chris Weintz, faculty mem-ber:
"A wise philosopher once
said: 'There are two ways to fit
into an old dress : let out the seams
or diet.'
"Since the lack of parking space
is our major traffic concern on
campus, any solution to the prob-lem
involves either utilizing the
mall for enlarged parking facili-ties,
antogonizing the neighbors
by parking their highly-taxed
frontage, renting parking facili-ties
in the immediate area, ticket-ing
everyone
who parks on
campus, demand-ing
paid reser-vations
of all
who park here,
walking to school
OR encouraging
a current fad of
the American
automobile
manufacturers to reduce the old
gray mechanical mare to its pri-meval
size.
"Horse sense suggests that more
Shetland ponies fit into a limited
number of stalls than do Belgian
draft horses.
"Perhaps, then, as a solution to
our parking problem, we should
extend parking privileges only to
those who drive the biggest little
cars in America—the compacts."
Lorie Geijer, on-campus sopho-more:
"The extent of the prob-lem
doesn't go much farther than
insufficient parking. Solutions —
make Arona a • •
one - way park,
alternating cars
from one side to
the other week-ly.
Better yet,
move the college
to a new loca-tion.
"Also, the ex-tra
room near
the tennis courts could be con-verted.
So far, I don't believe the
car stickers have been enforced."

7. The Model-T-Lover (fore-runner of the 1961 model).
The Bethel fieldhouse stands as a worthy monument on the sacred
ground where one Bethel couple celebrated many a field-day in an old
Model T. The car still had four wheels, but no tires, and, of course, it
was air-conditioned. Love could never have been and never will be
grander in a new Falcon.
8. The "Sputnik" Type—(Space travelers).
This type has no regard for time or place. They return late to the
dormitory and bring with them such "fuzzy" excuses as they have
gathered on their soaring expeditions:
1. "My watch stopped." What a timely tale!
2. "We ran out of gas." Too bad a car can't run on hot air as
there must have been plenty of that.
3. "We got lost in Como Park." No one could doubt that story as
they could get lost on the campus.
4. "We got a traffic ticket for speeding just because we were
trying to get back to the dormitory on time." ahem!
5. "We had a flat tire." This tale falls as flat in 1961 as it did
in 1930.
6. "We went canoeing and while we were in the middle of the
lake we lost one paddle so we could only go in circles." Is it possible
they are still going in circles ?
(A rhetorical question to some of the veteran faculty Romeos-
How many of the above excuses bring back memories of the "good
old days" ?)
7. The Ideal-lover Type.
Yes, there is such a type. These lovers maintain high standards of
ethics and of scholarship. They never make public demonstrations of
their love for one another. They return to the dormitories on time.
The greatest number of Bethel couples can be classified in this
group.
CONCLUSION:
1. Love-life on the Bethel Campus in 1961 is much the same as it
was in 1925.
2. The prediction of the author is that the future love activities will
be as interesting as the past have been.
3. What about long-range planning?
Whether the campus is on North Snelling or in the Arden Hills
area the faculty must continue to look, to over-look, to listen, and
"to suffer long and be kind."

communism and its relation to the
changing world situation, are held
to be those most susceptible to the
"party line." These "misguided in-tellectuals"
are accused of being
duped into doing the dirty work
for the Communists.
These attacks on education raise
a fundamental question : What is
the role of the university in so-ciety
?
Ideally the university is a sanc-tuary
for truth where every idea
can be explored and challenged.
However, the university is a part
of society—a society which often
fears many of the ideas discussed
in the university. Often the society
is seeking to restrict this flow of
ideas and a basic conflict is set
in motion.
Although it is the object of con-stant
attacks, whether they be
from Communist forces, religious
factions, etc., the university can
only justify its existence as long
as it continues to explore all ideas
in an objective manner. The min-ute
that it falls frm its platform
of objectivity and begins to pro-pagate
its ideas from only one
frame of reference, the university
ceases to be a university in the
true sense of the word.
However, the university must
also maintain itself financially to
provide the teachers and books so
essential to this flow of ideas. And
much of this support must come
from society—the same society
that often is afraid and distrustful
of the university.
While students and faculty mem-bers
may often be individually
criticized, the administration must
defend the university as an insti-tution
and try to make the concept
of "academic freedom" meaningful
to people who are seeking the eli-mination
of ideas they do not
agree with.

The ball club's plea for clement
weather was finally granted and the
first outdoor practice was held
last Saturday. The hitters found
the fresh spring air to their liking
and several balls were powdered
into the regions beyond. Pitchers
also were hard at work removing
kinks that had lingered in stuffy
gymnasium air. Coach Halleen bus-ily
barked commands and every-one
anticipated the start of a
brand new season.
The infielders were gobbling up
ground balls right and left. Lyle
Anderson and Curt Sanborn took
turns at the first base post. Bob

Larry Stair leaped high for a line

The pitchers John Holmberg,
Bob Clause, Don Peterson, Cal

shagged fly balls with outfielders
Jack McNaughton and Bob Smith.
Coach Haleen checked his sched-ule
and wondered whether choir-touring
Al Penner, Tuffy Bryant,
and John Hammer would return
in time for the Hamline game on
April 12. Ducking a sharp foul
ball, Halleen joyed with the bat-ter,
"Swing a little earlier next

low in the western horizon, Hal-leen
hastened practice to its con-clusion.
Cheerleaders
Try Out Apr. 25
The athletic council has announc-ed
a revamping of the methods
for election of the cheerleading
squad. Breaking with the prece-dent
of the last few years, stu-dents
now attending Bethel must
try out for positions of the squad
on Apr. 25, at 8 p.m. in the field-house.
During tryouts, contestants must
appear before an election board
composed of 25 representatives of
campus groups such as faculty,
football, basketball, band, classes,
etc. Three cheerleaders will be
chosen on the basis of performance
of one individual yell and one uni-form
yell. Standard scoring sheets
will be used for each of the candi-dates.
Upperclassmen will be ineligible
to try out in the fall when three
more cheerleaders will be chosen
from among transfer students and
members of the incoming freshman
class.
In preparation for the Apr. 25
tryouts, a cheerleading clinic has
been scheduled and the last ses-sion
will meet on Apr. 18, at 7
p.m., in the fieldhouse. Conducted
by Mrs. Owen Halleen, attendance

In the playoff tilt for 3rd place,
the Jesters bumped the Squires 61-
54. The balanced attack of the
winners withstood the heroic ef-forts
by an outclassed Squire
squad.
The speed and drive of Lyle An-derson
and Stan Nelson along with
the marksmanship of Ken Albright
led the Jesters to a 27-19 halftime
edge. Curt Hallstrom, Dean Gus-tafson,
and Gary Scull vengefully
fought back for the Squires in the
second half. However, the team-work
and playmaking abilities of
the Jesters spelled certain defeat
for the game Squires.
Anderson's 18, Nelson's 12, Al-bright's
11, Don McKelvey's eight,
and Bruce Erickson's seven led
the victors. Hallstrom had 22, Gus-tafson
15, and Scull 13 for the
losers.

The presentation of varsity bas-ketball
awards for the 1960-61
season was the purpose of a spe-cial
athletic convocation held last
Monday, Apr. 10. Fifteen men re-ceived
the honors which were an-nounced
by coach Gerald Healy.
Letter winners included Lee
Bajuniemi, Jim Eckblad, Jan Kol-brek,
Dave Peterman, and Denny
Wahlstrom. Higher awards were
given to Dick Larson, John Peter-son,
sweaters; Truman Turnquist,
a blanket. Recipients of numerals
were Jerry Biss, Phil Bolinder, Bob
Larson, Don Nelson, Jim Nelson,
Roger Olson, and Don Peterson.
Team manager, Bob Smith, was
also awarded a letter.
Keynoting the convocation was
the "most valuable player" award
which was presented to Truman
Turnquist. Turning in a 22.9 point
average in conference play, Turn-quist
captured the Badger-Gopher
top scoring honors. His outstand-ing
shooting, as well as skill in re-bounding
and on defense, aided
Bethel in gaining a second place in
conference standings. This was the
senior forward's final year with
the Royals. Turnquist is from
Grasston, Minnesota.

A hustling underdog Knight
quintet gained intramural basket-ball
playoff honors on the virtue
of a 58-55 comeback victory over
the Dukes. The fine play of Jim
Egge and Carl Sjogren turned a
dismal 10 point deficit into the
miraculous three point triumph.
With five minutes remaining and
a 55-45 lead, the Dukes substituted
freely. Sjogren, Egge, and Sid
Duren's fine shooting necessitated
a hasty return of the Duke regu-lars.
However, the surge of the
Knights continued to gain momen-tum.
With 1:25 left Duren's
jumper tied the score. Sjogren's
free toss with :44 left and Egge's
John Peterson was announced
as the selection for the captain's
position in next year's squad.
Serving as captain this year, Peter-son
is a veteran forward of three
years' standing.
Bethel women were also included
in the award line-up as their sea-son's
record of only one loss was
reviewed. Certificates went to Ar-lene
Friberg, Nancy Gustafson,
Lorraine Geijer, Joy Hegstrom,
Gladys Holmberg, Judy Johnson,
Eunice Murra, Carol Peterson,
Jan Peterson, Mary Smith, Mary
Thomas, Rosalee Thomas, and
Charlotte Wiedemer. College sopho-more,
John Holmberg, has coached
the team.

insurance bucket shortly there-after
iced the game and the cham-pionship
for the Knights.
The game was featured through-out
by stellar defensive tenacity.
Tough, hard-nose, body-jarring re-bounding
was the rule as Bethel's
intramural bests battled for keeps.
Ball steals were common with Dick
Graham chalking up several for
the Dukes.
The first half found Bernie
Froysland swishing his set shots
and John Holmberg rebounding
well to give the Dukes a narrow
28-25 lead. Sid Duren's potshots
and Ed Brown's under the basket
work enabled the Knights to over-take
their opponents 36-35 midway
in the second half. Holmberg and
Stan Engstrom retaliated with
fury and the Dukes stomped to a
55-45 lead. Sjogren and Egge then
held back nothing from their bag
of tricks and turned gloom into
glory for the Knights.
Both victor and vanquished de-serve
acclaim for fine basketball
throughout the season and for a
well-played, thrilling championship
duel.
