Annual Dinner
Climaxes Fiscal
Year's Finish
Torai-irrc,-.7 night elimaxex,
fiscal year with the sixth annual
Century club dinner in Dayton's
skyroom. Planned especially for
individuals showing particular in-terest
in Bethel throughout the
year by contributing $100 or more,
about 300 guests are expected from
the greater Twin City area.
According to Charles Ferguson,
director of development, "Due to
the generosity of friends of Bethel,
it now appears that contribution
income for the month of April
will total $85-90,000 and permit the
school to end the current fiscal
year in the black."
Toastmaster for the dinner is
Nels F. Stjernstrom. The program
will consist of two parts, micro-scopic
and telescopic views of
Bethel.
Dr. Earle E. Ellis will speak on
"What I Found at Bethel;" Dr.
Dalphy Fagerstrom on "The Self-reliant
Student;" Keith McConnell
on "Spiritual Highlights;" and Mr.
Charles W. Ferguson on "God's
Unfailing Resources." Devotions
will be given by Dr. W Robert
Smith.
Following music by the Bethel
seminary quartet, the telescopic
portion of the program will begin.
J. Leonard Carroll, chairman of
the board of education, will speak
on "Time Table for Campus Ex-pansion."
"Emerging Agreement in
long-range Planning" is the topic
of President Lundquist.
In reaching alumni for funds,
Bethel participated in Phon-o7rama,
a fund-raising program by the
Minnesota private colleges. From a
central campaign headquarters in
the telephone building in down-town
Minneapolis ,volunteer work-ers
contacted alumni in the cen-tral
states. Bethel expanded its
scope of contact by establishing
other centers in San Diego, Los
Angeles, Seattle, and Chicago.
Portrait sketching at various
times during the day will also be
available. Live chamber music may
be heard daily at 3 p.m. in the stu-dent
center.
Fine Arts week is jointly spon-sored
by the art and music de-partments,
cultural council, music
club, and the Royal Players.
Art Classes Exhibit
A student art exhibit will be
featured in the student center and
coffee shop as part of Fine Arts
week. Sponsored by the art de-partment,
the exhibit is of work
done by the students this year.
Work will be shown from the
painting, sculpture, and drawing
classes taught by Robert Nelson
and Eugene Johnson.
'61-'62 Housing
Plans Reported
Application forms for student
housing in the dormitories are
available in the student affairs of-fice.
Students are requested to ap-ply
immediately.
Sophomore, junior, and senior
men are requested to apply for
odd number rooms in Edgren, as
the ratio of freshmen will remain
nearly the same as this yea..
Girls are also to apply for hous-ing
in either Bodien or Hagstrom
rooms. A total of eleven apart-ments
on the third floor Hag-strom
dormitory will be available
for sophomore, junior, and senior
girls with four girls to each a-partment
These apartments will be
furnished with drapes, bedspreads,
beds, study desks and private
baths, but will be minus cooking
privileges.
This year, as in other years, all
freshmen and sophomore girls will
be required to live on campus as
far as facilities permit.
The Bethel College student sen-ate
sent five representatives to
the third national convention of
the American Association of Ev-angelical
Students held from Apr.
19-22 at Evangel College in
Springfield, Missouri.
Delegates attending from Bethel
were Marilyn Benson, Dean Dahl-quist,
Steve Peterson, Carole Lund-quist,
and Richard McNamara.
Twenty-two schools were repre-sented
at the convention, with ap-proximately
one hundred persons
in attendance.
At the first general session, Russ
Ayres, Moody Bible Institute, pre-
- sident for 1960-61, presented a re-port
on the growth and develop-ment
of the association during the
three years of its existence. He was
followed by Paul Henry, Wheaton
college, who reported on the pro-ject
of the past year, "Political
Awareness."

by Milton Quiggle
Students and guests of Bethel's
Fine Arts Festival will be intri-gued
Tuesday evening by a lecture-demonstration
of renaissance and
baroque instruments and music.
Sponsored jointly by the Cultural
Council and the Music Club, the
program has been organized and
will be presented by George Houle.
George Houle combines a schol-arly
background, specializing in
the history of musical perform-ance,
with the training and exper-ience
of a professional performer.
This rare combination makes pos-sible
the full excitement of turn-ing
back several centuries in mu-sic,
recapturing the musical thrills
of a silk and satin society that
first heard these instruments and
melodies. Said one Baroquophile
after a similar concert at the
Walker Art Center in Minneapolis,
"I'll never confuse clavichord and
recorders with shoulderbones and
secretaries again."
Last night, Apr. 26, a freshman
class helda rally to elect its offi-cers
for the coming school year.
However, due to close balloting,
in one instance a tie, and to the
lack of any consi,iLutional ejection
provisions, the executive board de-cided
to hold run-off elections to-day
between the two top candi-dates
as determined at the rally
for the offices of president, vice
president and treasurer.
Steve Peterson, president - elect
of the student senate, keynoted the
rally with his speech, "A Self Por-trait."
He underscored the concept
that through his vote, the voter
pledges his own ideas and support
to those elected.
To achieve the atmosphere of a
political convention, the fieldhouse
was patriotically decorated with
red, white, and blue streamers, and
ism" was carried throughout the
convention in discussion groups by
means of film presentations, and
featured speakers. The discussion
groups dealt with this problem in
three areas: awareness, attitudes,
and action. Besides this emphasis,
there was also one workshop on
general campus problems.
Two films were presented at the
convention, "Question 7" and "Op-eration
Abolition". Fulton Lewis
III, editor and narrator of "Opera-tion
Abolition," addressed the con-vention
prior to its showing, and
afterwards answered questions
concerning it. Steve Peterson pre-sented
a prepared statement ap-proved
by the Bethel delegation
concerning the questions which
had arisen at Bethel after the
viewing of this film. These ques-tions
were debated.
The main speaker for the three
days was author and lecturer, Dr.
Carl F. H. Henry, present editor
by Sharon Edlund
As the culmination of Bethel's
fine arts week program, a con-temporary
drama by P. W. Turner,
"Christ in the Concrete City," will
be staged by the Royal Players on
Friday and Saturday, May 5, 6 in
the fieldhouse.
The play portrays Christ be-trayed
in the garden, the trial, the
crucifixion and resurrection in both
historic and modern dialect. The
story serves as a reminder to the
spectator that twentieth century
individuals would be just as guilty
as the Jews of the first century
of crucifying Christ.
Made up of four men and two
women, the cast acts as a chorus
or a unit with a number of voices
rather than as a group of indi-viduals.
Acting in the drama are
Carole Lundquist, Neva Rogers,
Tuffy Bryant, Doug Huber, Rich
Nelson, and Dave Whitney. Stu-dent
direction is by Richard Sor-vig.
Tickets will be sold at $.50 for
students and children under 12. The
price is $1.00 for adults. Groups
of ten or more may be admitted
at $.50 per person.
a pep band was present to heighten
the excitement and enthusiasm of
the rally and demonstrations.
In patterning the rally after the
national political conventions, the
class was divided into precincts
according to dormitory room loca-tions.
The students sat with and
voted in these precincts, with an
appointed chairman assuming the
position of election co-ordinator,
issuing and tabulating the ballots.
The final election results were
determined by a roll call of the
precincts.
The rally was under the general
chairmanship of Roger Olson, who
was assisted by Dick Krueger and
Nancy Robertson, program corn-mittee;
Doug Huber and Larry
Leafblad, physical arrangements
(continued on page 3)
of "Christianity Today." Dr. Henry
addressed the assembly on two
topics, "Christ in a Divided World"
and "Christian Influence on So-ciety."
The business sessions of the con-vention
involved constitutional
changes, election of officers, and
the determination of a yearly pro-ject.
Elected as officers for the
1961-62 year were Charles Lake,
Asbury college, president; Wood-ford
Stemple, Nyack Missionary
college, vice president; and Joy
Neece, Greenville college, conven-tion
host. Roger Funk, Huntington
college, was elected chairman of
the mid-western region
In accordance with the main em-phasis
of the convention, the dele-gates
selected as the project for
next year, "Christianity Answers
Communism" The organization and
application of this project is left
with the executive board, under the
direct supervision of the vice pre-sident.

this approach by the differences
existing between the educational
philosophies of the member
school.
As its name implies, AAES is an
association for evangelical stu-dents,
and as such takes its mem-bership
from Bible schools and
colleges as well as from Christian
colleges. It was our experience
that the former schools, which
form the majority of the organi-zation,
showed a definite inability
or reluctance to combine the intel-lectual
approach with the religious
approach in dealing with these
problems.
Should we, then, just because we
are an evangelical campus, con-tinue
in this group where our
opinions will most likely continue
to be in the minority and possibly
be neither listened to nor accept-ed
? Would it be worthwhile to
have a voice in a group such as
this ?

Editorials: Comment on AAES:
Proposed Admissions Ratio Is AAES Worthwhile? Should
Highlights Conference Relationshi p Bethel Retain Membership? The administration has recently announced that in order to deal
with the unprecedented increase in applicants for next year, the ad-missions
policy of 60% conference to 40% non-conference students
would be increased to a ratio of 80:20.
This decision has been formulated because of the unique relation-ship
that exists between Bethel and the Baptist General conference.
The college draws support from the constituency through contribution
income which amounts to approximately 40% of the total educational
expenditure. Financial backing is not the only form of support to be
considered since there are also less tangible manifestations of concern
for the school. Thus, the theory is advanced that Bethel's prime respon-sibility
should be to provide a solid liberal arts education for confer-ence
young people.
Part of the questioning that arises when one is faced with the
labels "conference" and "non-conference" may lie in the way that these
terms have been used. As now defined, "non-conference" designates any
student not holding membership in a conference church. As used with
the 80:20 ratio, "conference" would be more aptly modified to "confer-ence-
affiliated" since the category will include children of alumni, etc.
who may or may not have conference church membership.
Other queries are apparent. Admittedly, the constituency covers a
wide range of social and economic stratas and, within a conservative
framework, some differences of opinions of theological views. The liberal
arts experience involves being challenged by differing subjects and
views. Opinions cannot be presented solely by faculty in a classroom
situation, but are a function of interaction among students from varied
background and experience. Is this interchange and stimulation a logi-cal
outgrowth of a purposely contrived, largely homogenous group?
Another area of concern is that Bethel might conceivably suffer
academically from this policy. In a discussion on long-range planning
with the student senate in a recent meeting, President Lundquist was
asked, "Under the proposed change, would a high "B" student in the
20% bracket be turned away in favor of a "C" student in the 80% con-ference
group ?" His answer was "yes". Academic excellence has been
an integral feature of Bethel's reputation. It may also be noted that
the value of the Bethel graduate to the constituency may be decreased
if that graduate has not matured through achievement and discipline
of scholastic goals as well as developing adult judgment by forming
personal conclusions on controversial ideas.
As a final but basic point, is this step indicative of future plans
to further restrict admissions? Rather than move toward more stringent
regulation of the composition of the student body which could become
quite subjective because conference affiliations could be rather nebu-lous,
it may be wiser to leave the choice up to the qualified student by
imposing a form of "out-of-conference" tuition. Few other schools of
denominational background have attempted this but it may be worth
consideration.
The Crime of Eichmann:
Cain Revisited?
Criticism Forged into Christian Context
to be directed by our own desires and wishes, or else
justifying what we do and say by acknowledging
the relativistic possibilities concerning life. Granted,
many things are not this or that, but we as Chris-tians
are not open to engage in all the possibilities
that life holds out to us. We live under one possi-bility,
the will of God as expressed in Scripture and
applied to each of our individual lives through the
illuminating witness of the Holy Spirit. Free-think-ing,
or luxury-type-thinking, is definitely alien to
the authority of God's rule among His people. To
let the mind rove the possibilities with no locus of
guidance outside one's self can only lead to wishful
deception proceeding out of the deceptive and sin-ful
self.
To say that to acknowledge this authority ren-ders
criticism impossible is not implied; even criti-cism
that hurts or is, at times, utterly destructive
of that, which if left to stand, would poison the
whole is often necessary. To be emphasized here is
an unrestrained, loose, and cocky-type of thinking
that issues in an irresponsible jargon of banter that
eats and divides Christian people and is a blas-phemy
to our God who demands that our thinking
center in Him and not in the luxury of our own
unique and often peculiar tastes and idiosyncrasies.
Paul admonishes us to "take every thought captive
to obey Christ" (II Cor. 10:5). Variance in thinking
and position we will have; but the strength of unity
in diversity can be ours, the entire body Christ knit
together in love, if the authority of Christ and His
Word become foundational. In Christ there is no
wishful or deceptive thinking, but only that which is
real and eternal.
by Mary Anderson
Since Cain slaughtered one-fourth
of the world's population,
possibly no one has been impli-cated
in more deaths than Adolph
Eichmann. The legal questions sur-rounding
his trial have been co-gently
answered by competent Is-raeli
judges. Some Americans can-not
endorse the ex-post-facto law
under which the trial is proceed-ing,
but the rest of the world wor-ries
more about his illegal depor-tation
from Argentina. On this
point American law is clear, that
the manner in which the trial is
conducted is more purely within
the purview of the court than the
methods used to bring a prisoner
to the bar. This observer would
discount the numbers involved and
ask simply: Is it right to take a
life?
If the world be looking for a
scapegoat, the months of the trial
should prove the choice of Eich-mann
one of genius. Not only can
the Nazi Regime be exhibited to
Israeli youth, but the world can
feel its individual complicity exon-erated.
Piled high on the desk of
the three judges will be the crimes
of Special Section B-4, Gestapo of
the Third Reich. In the same week
when Major Gagarin began his
flight to the stars, this trial is a
grim reminder of other potentiali-ties

One cannot be cleansed in Am-erica

is proceeding in accord with the
statements of the Nuremburg War
Crimes Trials. Not so long as the
success of the Saturn Rocket is
directed by the former research
scientist at Orlemunde, home of
the V-1 and V-2 rockets, can we
condemn either Eichmann or his
judges.
An American army chaplain,
William R. Downey, prayed one
morning in the dawn of Tinian

by Jim Nelson
I think it might be well to continue our thinking
concerning creative thinking and the authoritative
foundation that is associated with the Christian
tradition. I am aware that not all Christians have
the problems that I am speaking of, but I am also
aware that students who are open to the almost
numberless possibilities in academic investigation
often lose perspective, and with it, mature control
and discretion in their attitudes and convictions.
The destruction of criticism, without Spirit-per-ception,
discernment, and the upbuilding of love, is
Satan's achievement in a Christian who is dulled by
rebellion and enamored by the new possibilities that
will relieve the boredom with his Christian faith.
To the Christian there are no "possibilities.” Only
the single possibility of God is open to him. A
Christian delights in saying with Paul, "this one
thing I do." All possibilities proceed from one pos-sibility,
that of the possible in God. We stand on
Regardless of the evidence pre- authoritative foundations when we admit only the

Due to the Baptist General con-ference,
the pastors refresher

there will be no available on-campus
housing for students this
summer. But, students are encour-aged
to apply at the student af-fairs
office for homes in the gen-eral
area of the campus.
Openings for summer camps and
resorts are still available in the
office. Directories and other in-formation
is available also. There
exists a very limited amount of

The world population is mush-rooming
at a tremendous rate.
This is a fact that everyone can
testify to. Of more concern and
closer to the Bethel students are
the growing pains which our cam-pus
is presently experiencing. With
the future in mind, the conference
some time ago began long-range
planning with the intention of
seeking means by which Bethel
can keep pace with the "mush-room."
As well as laying plans for
the future, Bethel has been taking
direct action now to counter the
problem.
Progress has already been made
through the purchase of three
apartment buildings north of the
campus. The arrangements for the
third building were just completed
last Friday, Apr. 21 by the ad-ministration.
The two apartment

church will be transformed into a
tropical paradise for the freshman-sophomore
banquet tomorrow
night.
Participating in the evening's
entertainment will be a trumpet
trio composed of Eddie Carlson,
Dennis Johnson, and Ron Holyer,
accompanied at the piano by Dean
Dahlquist. Soloist Dave Johnson
from the University of Minnesota
will present several selections from
"South Pacific" and a marimba-piano
duet is also scheduled.
An effort has been made to make
this banquet a class function in-stead
of solely an evening of en-tertainment.
Thus, a special fea-ture
will be the inauguration of
the class officers.
'Expressions' J-S Theme
"Expressions" in a contempor-ary
vein will characterize the
spring banquet for junior and sen-ior
classes. Beginning at 6:15 p.m.
tomorrow, the banquet setting will
be the Olivet Baptist church in
Minneapolis.
Four Selected
For Cheering
Four members of the '61-62
cheerleading squad were chosen
Tuesday night. They are Liz Carl-son,
Rachel Carlson, John Davis,
and Jeanne Gould. This selection
will be augmented next fall when
three or four more members of
the squad will be chosen from the
incoming freshmen and transfer
students.
The election board based their
choice on three main criteria: skill,
enthusiasm, and leadership ability.

buildings (and a third by May 1)
will be managed by the business
office under the guidance of F.
Harold Lidbom, business manager.
These three apartment buildings
with a total of thirty units (one-bedroom)
will be used to house
married couples. The three addi-tional
housing units will be valu-able
to Bethel regardless of whe-ther
the long-range planning leads
to Bethel remaining on the pre-sent
campus or moving to an alter-nate
site. Negotiations are pre-sently
being conducted for the pur-chase
of a fourth apartment build-ing.
At the start of school in Septem-ber,
single girls will be making
their residence on the third floor
of Hagstrom as well as in Bodien.
Eventually when the married cou-ples
vacate Hagstrom, the entire
building will be used to house wo-men
students.
Opening the evening will be an
exhibition of modern art which
has been arranged at the church.
Providing a musical background
for the meal will be selections of
contemporary music.
Mr. Gerald Healy will correlate
the program of music and litera-ture
extending from the romantic
period to the present time. Fea-tured
musicians will use the media
of piano, instrument and voice.
Tickets for this semi-formal af-fair
are $2.25 each.
Banquet coordinator is Mabel
Moen; program chairman, Ellen
Polk; publicity and tickets, Lois
Westerberg; art, Dale Goit.
The results of the day's voting
for class officers will be announc-ed.
Senior Nominations Set
Voting for the senior class of-ficers
will take place tomorrow in
the student center. Presidential
Sandra Pyatch, senior psy-chology
major, has been ac-cepted
in the graduate school
of applied social science at
Western Reserve university,
Cleveland, Ohio. She was a-warded
a $1,500 grant for the
academic year 1961-62.
Senior Testing
Slated May 4
Area tests of the Graduate Re-cord
Examinations, the institu-tional
testing program of the Edu-cational
Testing service, will be
held for all Bethel seniors on May
4.
These area tests include a series
of three seventy-five minute tests,
one each in natural science, social
science, and humanities. They mea-sure
breadth of knowledge and un-derstanding
in these three broad
areas of the liberal arts.
The character and scope of the
tests are such that a special last
minute preparation for them is not
likely to be effective. A general
view of college courses may help
to regain the spirit of the subjects
covered by the area tests, but to
attempt to "cram" new concepts
in a short period would be futile.
The advanced tests are designed
to measure the achievement of the
college senior in his major field of
study, at or near graduation. A-mong
the fields of study tested are:
biology, chemistry, economics, edu-cation,
geology, history, literature,
mathematics, music, philosophy,
physics, psychology, sociology,
Spanish, and speech.
Each of the advanced tests is
designed to cover the basic facts
and fundamental principles of the
subject tested, and to include many
questions which require reasoning
with and application of these facts
and principles.
candidates are Tuffy Bryant and
Bob Hurt.
Running for the office of vice
president are Cal Mortenson, Vern
Olson, and Gary Scull. Delrene
Hanni, Mary Lou Sewell, and Ro-berta
Yaxley are candidates for
the position of secretary, while
Donna Green and Karen Gregorson
were nominated for treasurer.

the usual election hours.
Nominated for positions in the
junior class are Lee Bajuniemi and
Bob Smith, president; Ron Berg-man
and Duane Golden, vice-presi-dent;
Bobbye Driskell and Annette

Sophs To Test
On May 3. 4
All Bethel sophomores are
participating on May 3 and 4 in
the National Guidance Testing pro-gram,
designed to reduce the costs
of school testing and increase the
usefulness of test results to the
school and individual students.
Participating schools select tests
to be given from a modern test
series. Single answer sheets ac-commodate
answers to many tests
and are electronically storable.
Score interpretations are reported
on special forms which make re-sults
more meaningful. The var-iety
of test reports, which gives
a complete testing picture for each
student, greatly increases the use-fulness
of the results.
Bethel chose the tests to be giv-en
from the sequential tests of
educational progress (STEP). It is
published by the Cooperative Test
Division of Educational Testing
Service, Princeton, New Jersey.
This test, which includes six dif-ferent
areas of testing, assesses
the application of subject area
knowledge to new situations. It of-fers
a measure of school ability
and application of learning rather
than retention of memorized facts.
Answer sheets are sent to Edu-cational
Testing Service for pro-cessing
on custom-designed elec-tronic
equipment. A special stu-dent
report form is provided to
schools on which they can record
scores in terms of percentile bands,
an interpretation method pioneered
by Cooperative Test Division to
minimize the dangers of over-in-terpretation
of test results.
STEP makes possible continuous
student school-career testing, pro-viding
tests at different levels of
difficulty from grade four through
the second year of college.

Trackmen Tip
Concordia71•52
by Dave Buck
Hats off to the Royal cindermen.
Sparked by stellar individual per-formances,
Bethel outsprinted Con-cordia
in a dual meet, 71-52, and
finished second to St. Thomas in
a triangular meet which also in-cluded
Augsburg. Their perform-ance
is even more notable since
the meet with Concordia was their
first time on a track this season.
An outstanding performance by
captain Larry Bradshaw high-lighted
Bethel's victory over Con-cordia,
Apr. 20. Jet propelled Brad-shaw
rocketed to victories in the
100 and 220-yard dashes as well
as anchoring two relay teams to
victory. Rubber-legged freshman
Fred Purcell leisurely rolled to a
victory in the mile race while
breaking the school record of 4:49
with a time of 4:42.
Prospects for a successful track
season are very favorable in view
of the first two meets. The influx
of talented freshmen such as Bob
Baffa, Jan Kolbrek, and Purcell and
a strong sophomore nucleus in-cluding
captain Bradshaw, Al Lar-son,
Paul Sloan, Ron Swanson, and
Les Weigum, are the main reasons
for these optimistic predictions.
This will undoubtedly be a team
of record breakers since Purcell
has already broken three school re-cords.
Future meets include:
Apr. 29—Stout—at River Falls
May 6—Dakota Relays—at Sioux
Falls
May 16—St. Thomas—at River

Royals Drop
Opening Game
The Royal ball club opened its
schedule by dropping an 11-1 deci-sion
to Hamline. A display of ex-plosive
hitting along with brief
flashes of pitching talent featured
the game.
A powerful homerun by Jack
McNaughton put Bethel out in
front 1-0. A combination of loose
Bethel fielding and timely Hamline
slugging enabled the Pipers to
push across 10 runs in the first
three innings. Bethel starter John
Holmberg was then replaced by
rookie Chuck Bloomquist. Bloom-quist's
effective left arm limited
the Pipers to a single tally in the
next four innings. Bob Clouse sent
the opposition down in order in
his one-inning mound stint.
Bethel batters had difficulty
with the Hamline hurlers and man-aged
to collect only two hits. Mc-
Naughton's homer and a smash
down the third base line by Curt
Hallstrom was the extent of the
Royal's offense.
by Richard Stevens
The Bethel tennis team played
their first match Apr. 20, winning
over Northland of Wisconsin. The
team is coached by Jerry Healy.
Eight boys make up the Royal
team so far this season. Returning
from last year are Dick Larson,
Gary Scull and Larry Peterson.
New to the team this year are
Steve Peterson, Ed Carlson, Roger
Jackson, Doug Bjork and Jerry
Biss. From this number, six will
be chosen to represent Bethel on
the courts.
For the benefit of those unfam-iliar
with team play in tennis, the
top players of each team meet first
in the match. The rest of the team
members play according to ability,
from the top to the bottom man.
The method used to determine the
positions of each player is the
challenge method. Anyone on the
team can challenge any other play-er
two positions or more higher
than himself. This results in a
play-off to determine the better
player.
Dick Larson, veteran of two
years with the team and last year's
captain, analyzed the game into
three main areas. The ability of a
player depends on his service abil-ity,
his tennis stroking ability, and
his net play. All the boys on the
team have shown these qualities so

far this season, though of course,
there is still room for improve-ment.
Bad weather has set back
progress somewhat, but given time
for the necessary improvements,
this team could be stronger than
last year's which did not lose a
match.
Three regulars are gone from
last year. The gap left by this loss
has been ably filled so far by the
new boys on the team. There are
eight or nine matches to be held
this season. Most of the competi-tion
will come from Twin City col-leges
and the closer Badger-Gopher
Conference schools.
Though the team takes each
match as it comes, the real culmi-nation
of the season is the con-ference
match. Incidentally, this
match will be held here at Bethel
this year on May 20. This should
provide an excellent opportunity
for those fans of tennis to see
some real fine play.

River Falls Raps
Bethel Ballclub
River Falls shut out Bethel 6-0
in the Royal's second outing of the
year. Hampered by a lack of bat-ting
punch, Bethel was unable to
cope with the harder hitting Fal-cons.
Not only did the crack River
Falls pitching staff limit Bethel to
three singles, but a total of 18
Royals were struck out. The Fal-cons
picked up 10 hits off the
slants of pitchers John Holmberg
and Bob Clouse.
Taking advantage of clutch hit-ting
and a wild flurry by Holm-berg,
the Falcons jumped to a 2-0
lead in the first inning. Bethel
threatened strongly in the fourth
with singles by Curt Hallstrom and
Don McKelvey. The rally was stop-ped
short however, as the next
two Royals were retired.
Holmberg's deliveries lacked
their usual snap, crackle, and pop,
and River Falls collected three
more tallies in the fifth frame.
Clouse took the hill for Bethel in
the sixth inning and pitched good
ball. River Falls garnered only one
run off Clouse, as sharp fielding
by third baseman Hallstrom and
shortstop Dave Cox staved off sev-eral
Falcon rallies. All told, three
double plays were engineered by
the Royal infield.
Another Bethel threat came in
the do-or-die ninth frame. The
bases were rivited with Royals but
Falcon pitching undauntedly de-fended
their shutout.

Bethel 4-0. D.M.L. scored twice in
the second inning, and once each
in the fourth and eighth. Bethel
managed to get men on base in
most every inning, but were un-able
to score. Dave Cox reached
third base for Bethel in the eighth,
but D.M.L. pitching held firm.
In the second game, the teams
battled to a 2-2 tie in eight inn-ings.
Cox led off with a single. An
error on the shortstop and a single
by Al Penner filled the bases with
only one out, but the next two
men failed to hit. In their half of
the first inning, D.M.L. scored two
runs by means of four hits off
Chuck Bloomquist. Bethel count-ered
with two runs in the second
inning. Larry Stair singled, Bob
Smith was hit by the pitcher,
Bloomquist walked, and Cox drove
in the first run with a sacrifice
fly. Jack McNaughton then singled
to tie the score.
Bloomquist pitched fine ball for
the next six innings, holding
D.M.L. scoreless on three hits.
Bethel was unable to score further,
and the game was tied at 2-2 after
seven innings. Bloomquist singled
to lead off the eighth, but the
next three men were retired in
order. Bloomquist ran into trou-ble
in the eighth when D.M.L. load-ed
the bases with on out on two
walks and an error. John Holm-berg
then came in to pitch and
quickly retired the next two bat-ters.
Darkness prevented further
play.
