Court Features Six
Thirty-six of the city's top college seniors were honored Tuesday
evening, May 2 at the 24th annual College Court of Honor banquet, held
in the St. Paul Hotel Continental Room.
A cooperative presentation of the St. Paul Junior Chamber of
Commerce and the St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, the College
Court of Honor salutes six outstanding senior students from each of
St. Paul's six major colleges, Bethel, Hamline, Macalester, St. Cather-ine's,
St. Thomas and the Williams Mitchell College of Law.
Leading business and professional leaders of the city personally
sponsored the honor students giving recognition to the contribution the
colleges make to the community.
More than 200 persons attended the formal dinner. Highlight of the
event was the presentation of certificates to the 36 students for their
scholastic achievements.
Harry Morgan, special assistant to the president of Macalester
College and recently selected as one of the nation's ten outstanding
young men, was the principle speaker. Master of ceremonies was George
Mairs III, a former Jaycee director.
Students honored from Bethel were Wanda R. Chandler, Omaha,
Nebraska; Raymond L. Duncan, Hancock, Minnesota; Thelma Fredrick-son,
Seattle, Washington; Louise B. Holden, Mount Pleasant, Iowa;
Truman D. Turnquist, Grasston, Minnesota; and Marie Valdas, Toronto,
Canada.
Victor Cohn, science reporter for
the Minneapolis Tribune, will be
the speaker at a convocation to-morrow
at 10 a.m. in the field-house.
Mr. Cohn's topic will concern the
exciting world of tomorrow and
the many new advances that sci-ence
has brought to us in the areas
of travel, living, and technology.
Awards Day
Will Honor
Campus Service
Awards Day will be held during
chapel on May 22 to honor students
wi-zu e ated wel-fare
of the campus and the com-munity.
Students will be honored
for their service in such extra-curriciular
activities as athletics,
Christian service, Clarion, Spire,
debate, band, women's choir, male
chorus, college choir, radio club,
and student senate.
Students eligible for these a-wards
are chosen on the basis of
the amount, years, and quality of
participation and will be notified
by the student affairs office. This
program of recognition for service
to the campus, constituency, and
community is one of the highlights
of the student life at Bethel.
This Awards Day will be fol-lowed
by the Honors Convocation
honoring academic achievement on
Friday, May 26.
Bethel Debates
Northwestern
The subject of the May 15 convo-cation
will be a debate between
two members of the Bethel debate
team and a team from Northwest-ern
college in Minneapolis. The
topic to be debated is "Compulsory
Health Insurance—Should the Uni-ted
States Adopt It?" This was
the topic of all debate teams a-cross
the country this year.
The two members of the Bethel
team are Dick Sorvig, senior, and
Cal Mortenson, junior. Their op-ponents
from Northwestern are
Jerry Jones, and Chuck Wren.
The method of debate will be
that of the West Coast system, a
modification of the Michigan sys-tem.
In the West Coast system the
speaker speaks for ten minutes
during which time he can stop and
ask questions of the opponents.
After all contestants have spoken,
there is a five minute rebuttal
period.
He will mention our responsibili-ties
and how we must meet the
challenge of Communism in our
everyday life.
Winner of six major awards for
American journalism, Mr. Cohn has
been reporting science and medical
news since 1946, when the New
York Times called him "one of the
best science reporters in the coun-try."
He is the author of a book
published in 1956, 1999: Our Hope-ful
Future, which looks at the
future of the world and our respon-sibilities
in it.
In 1958 Mr. Cohn won the Las-ker
Award for Medical Journalism
for articles urging better care for
Minnesota's mentally ill children.
He was the first two-time winner
of the WestingheuQA prize of th.3
American Association for the Ad-vancement
of Science, and the only
three-time recipient of the Dis-tinguished
Service Award of Sigma
Delta Chi, a journalistic fraternity.
Catholics Now
Change Demand
by Walfred H. Peterson
My last report to the Clarion on
Apr. 13 explained a memorandum
of the Department of Health, Edu-cation,
and Welfare on church-state
relations. This administrative
statement has now produced re-percussions
that need to be noted.
The National Catholic Welfare
Conference, through its executive
director, Monsignor Hochwalt, said
the statement forced them to
change their demands. Since the
memorandum asserted that across-the-
board loans to parochial schools
were as unconstitutional as across-the-
board grants, they would here-after
ask for grants, the logic be-ing
that if both are unconstitu-tional
in the view of the executive,
the Catholic church might as well
push for the one that benefitted
them the most. This logic makes
sense only if there is some hope
that the courts might disagree
with the executive on the consti-tutional
issue.
Some Catholics are so convinced
of the soundness of their demands
that they hold such a hope. Few
in informed circles think that that
hope is warranted, and most poli-tical
observers look upon the Hoch-walt
statement as a mere an-nouncement
that the Catholic
church will continue to fight in
spite of the adverse memorandum.
On Apr. 29, the continued fight
was taken up by Cardinal Spell-man.
He noted that the Health,

"Go Ye53 Chosen Theme
by Jim Nelson
The book of I John speaks of the "more excel-lent
way," the way of love, and many of its impli-cations
which seem to surround all of Christian
living. Our relation to God is a relation of love,
with God taking the loving initiative and express-ing
His love through His Son. God loved us first;
not because we were attractive to God in ourselves,
or because there was something in us that caused
God to owe us His love, but only because God in His
loving mercy went out to us in utter self-giving love.
Paul admonishes us to be imitators of God. Pre-eminently,
we should imitate God in the way that
He loves; going out first to people before they come
to us; loving for the sake of loving, and not just lov-ing
those who are attractive or useful to us. John's
conception of love is based on this principle: the
manner in which God loves should be the manner
in which we love.
Another principle of love in I John is that love
to God is inseparable from and synonymous with
love of one's brethren (I John 4:20-5:1). Love to
God should give rise to love toward men who are
made in His image. There is a solidarity of God
with men in the man Christ Jesus so that Jesus can
say, "if you have done it unto the least of these my
brethren, you have done it unto me (Matt. 25:45)."
Our love to God makes our love to man worthy.
The fact of our relation of love to God renders pos-sible
the love to man that is of the quality of the
love of God to man. Jahn is not talking about any
type of love done in any number of ways for a
variety of reasons or ends. Above all, John is not
thinking of love that is a corporate selfishness, the
person or persons loving attempting to achieve their
own highest goals through the dove-tailing of self-interest
with others or the community's. We should
not love ultimately for our own ends. Our love to
man should be for God's ultimate purposes and in
His manner as we have just discussed.
Our love should mean that we love people for
the ultimate purpose of their well-being in God. Our
love for people should be unto Christian ends as we
love in a God-like manner and with a motive that
finds its orientation and purpose in God's purpose
for man. Again, what God wants for man we should
want for man. To the ends that God loves should be
the ends that we should love.
Nothing less is meant but this kind of love. Man
can love in a human way for human ends. It is
Christian love that desires what God desires for
people. Often, the manner and p u r p o s e
for which we love, its character and quality, affect
the character and quality of another person's life,
even his eternal destiny. We should carefully con-sider
the place of love in the Christian life, espec-ially
as we find it expressed in the book of I John
in our Bible studies. Love is important to the fel-lowship
of our Christian community at Bethel, for
"perfect love casts out fear (I John 4:18)." With
fear and selfishness removed and conquered through
love our relationships will become one of loving-trust,
with our isolation of fear and selfishness
broken as we come to one another to form more
perfectly His body, the called out community of
believers.

greater than the difference be-tween
groups would generally ap-ply
to attributes on which confer-ence
and non-conference students
might be compared.
The second assumption that those
students who seek admission to
our college from non-conference
churches are different from con-ference
students on desirable qual-ities
is open to question. The prob-ability
is high that those from an
out-group who apply for admission
are considerably more homogenous
than conference students, and that
this homogenity is in terms of the
image of the college which is held
by non-conference people.
The third assumption must be
considered in terms of an admis-sion
policy which will not militate
against a program of instruction,

Than Moral Disintegration
In conformance to the unwritten maxims of modern-day mass or-ganizations,
the American Association of Evangelical Students (AAES)
has sought to justify its existence and its activity by voicing laudable
purposes. In conjunction with their goal of promoting and exercising
"an active interest in the affairs of national, state and local govern-ments"
AAES adopted "Christianity Answers Communism" as its pro-ject
for the year.
May we say that we feel it is regrettable that an organization en-deavoring
to "make their Christian faith operative in the field of
higher education" would allow itself to be enveloped in an emotional
surge of nationalism and swept along by a basically secular movement.
During the convention, AAES uncritically and unobjectively supported
any anti-communist propaganda. Last week, newspapers declared the
acquittal of Robert Meisenbach, accused of inciting demonstrations a-gainst
the House committee on Un-American Activities last spring.
While the jurors later reported that the verdict did not approve the
demonstration or make any judgment of the committee's work, the deci-sion
does remove some steam from the HUAAC-produced "Operation
Abolition ," the sound track of which adamantly declares, ". . . One stu-dent
provides the spark that touches off all the violence when he leaps
over a barracade, grabs a police officer's night stick, and begins beat-ing
the officer over the head . . ."
This is not to say that we minimize the threat of Communist in-filtration
in U.S. government or the growth of Communist control of
other world nations. We feel that the AAES is deciding that Commun-ism
is of primary importance as a menace to its evangelical beliefs.
External forces, persecution, if you like, has always tended to be
a unifying force when applied against religious groups—and not only
unifying, but strengthening. Thus, communism may be the spur which
will finally jar Christian individuals and communities out of their leth-argic
state. The failure to be challenged to moral integrity and disci-plined
living is more destructive to current evangelical thought than
extraneous movements.
AAES could be commended if it would assume leadership in the
unique area of Christian higher education rather than finding its direc-tion
by the course of superficial wind storms.
Fine Arts Week Lauded ;
Late Publicity Detrimental
The CLARION wishes to commend all those who contributed to the
recent Fine Arts Week. The Cultural Council formulated a well-inte-grated
program which was both entertaining and educational. The ser-ies
of evening concerts and lectures, together with the afternoon film
program, was definitely beneficial to those attending. It is extremely
unfortunate that a lack of interest or desire on behalf of part of the
student body resulted in poor attendance at some of these events. It
has been suggested that since these programs were worthwhile, part of
the lack of participation might have been due to "technical difficulties"
such as inadequate and belated publicity.
The exhibit sponsored by the art classes added much to the general
atmosphere of the week and provided others with the opportunity to
observe the accomplishments of the college's art students. The highlight
of the week was the Royal Players' presentation of May 5 and 6 of
"Christ in the Concrete City." The production was well staged and in-terpreted,
and the actors responded admirably to the challenge of pre-senting
to the audience the message of this modern drama.

Seizing this precedent, the

These, of course, are costly items

The Cardinal would have some
support for his position in both

came for long term, low in-terest

would have considerable backing.
Also, it seems unlikely that the

raised, would approve sweep-ing
grants for non-religious con-struction
in light of the Everson

Similarly, the correlations between

Your suggestion for a form of

Royal Bloom
Dear Editor:
There are two articles in the
Apr. 27 issue of the Clarion which
disturb me and upon which I would
like to comment. Both of the arti-cles
are on page two.
In "The Crime of Eichmann;
Cain Revisited," Mr. Mary Ander-son
questions whether or not Eich-mann
should be made to pay his
penalty of death. Mr. Anderson
says, and I quote, "If the world
is looking for a scapegoat . . ."
No one has said the world is look-ing
for a scapegoat. The world is
saying that Mr. Eichmann, accord-ing
to law, the death penalty to
pay. Romans 13 tells us that our
laws are ordained by God, and not
to be resisted. (We cannot say
there were better rulers in power
at the time of this writing, for
when Rom. 13 was written, Nero
was in power.) Mr. Anderson com-pares
our dropping of the atomic
bomb to Eichmann's crime of mur-dering
millions and millions of
Jews for no reason other than hate.
We should remember that the Uni-ted
States dropped that bomb for
the purpose of ending the war, and
that we did not start the war that
Pearl Harbor day. Some will say
Eichmann should not be condemn-ed,
for some other war criminals
have not been dealt with. Accord-ing
to this theory, we would have
to open all our prison doors and
free all prisoners because we do
have some criminals who have not
been punished.
In the second article, "Is AAES
Worthwhile? Should Bethel Retain
Membership?", Dean Dahlquist
says the AAES has too much
"rightist propaganda" and that "It
was our experience that the former
schools, which form the majority
of the organization, showed a def-inite
inability or reluctance to
combine the intellectual approach
with the religious approach in deal-ing
with these problems." He asks
if we should ". . . continue in this
group where our opinions will most
likely continue to be in the minor-ity
and possibly be neither listened
to nor accepted?"
I received this impression: the
article either implied the group
cannot have fellowship with other
evangelical groups if they are pri-marily
"right wing," or else it im-plies
the group prefers to pick up
their marbles and go home if the
game cannot be played their way.
If the AAES is fighting Commun-ism,
would it not be worthwhile
to lend our help in this fight? I,
for one, am very proud to say I am
of the political "right wing" and
I do not believe it is to say the
"left wing" approach is a more in-tellectual
approach, for there are
intellectuals on both sides of the
political aisle.
Sincerely yours,
Harvey Nelson

Following are evaluations
of the program by citizens of the
Bethel community:
Emily Mattson, college junior:
"With the pressures of our aca-demic
schedule ever upon us, the
opportunity for more than brief
and superficial conversation is
often limited. Therefore, to me, it
has been a refreshing experience
to have this period set aside week-ly
for the informal study of the
Bible. I think
there has been a
good balance of
freedom and
guidance b e -
tween the groups
and the office,

helpful.
"Although we're not complaining
in our group, the only adverse
comment I've heard is that inte-gration
of college and seminary
hasn't been as complete as might
be desired."
Victor Winquist, college senior:
"The Bible studies have been
helpful to me as a means of fur-ther
understanding of the scrip-ture
and of further understanding
of various points of view. Fortun-

time was a rewarding exper-ience.
"Two things should be consider-ed.
First, at times there was a def-inite
lack of preparation, both by
myself, and I think, by other mem-bers
of the group. Second, the num-ber
of combined chapels in the
fieldhouse have been cut consider-ably.
I feel that this is unfortun-ate."
William Cram, seminary senior:
"The program has been very
stimulating in the realization of
the practicability of God's word,
as expressed through fellowship,
prayer, and group study. To sense
the common needs and desires of
fellow Christians, to be able to
consider the divine answer to man's
needs, and then
through prayer
and fellowship
attempt to rea-lize
these "an-swers"
in our
individual lives

helpful. T h e
challenge to
Christian living

group endeavors such as a group

Classes Elect
1961-1962
Leadership
During the past few weeks the
freshmen, sophomore, and junior
classes have been activly engaged
in a program of campaigning for
the election of their officers for
the coming year of 1961-62. The
roster of new class leaders was
completed with the final election
on Friday, May 5.
Assuming leadership of next
years' sophomore class will be:
president, Jerry Biss; vice presi-dent,
Ed Anthony; secretary,
Nancy Robertson; and treasurer,
Paul Norlander.
Elected to lead the junior class
are: president, Bob Smith; vice
president, Duane Golden; secre-tary,
Bobbye Driskell; and treas-urer,
Denny Wahlstrom.
The new senior class officers are:
president, Bob Hurt; vice presi-dent,
Cal Mortensen; secretary, Ro-berta
Yaxley; and treasurer, Karen
Gregersen.
Edna Schultz, acting registrar:
"I believe the Bible studies have
provided a needed opportunity to
study the Word of God together
and to think of ways to apply it
to our lives.
They have also
given the mem-bers
of our of-fice
and of the
student affairs
office the oppor-tunity
to meet
one another on
a different level.
We have sensed
a feeling of oneness in Christ and
of willingness to serve Him in our
various positions at Bethel — and
this too has been good.
"The Bible studies have been of
special benefit to me personally.
We even hope to continue them
during the summer months."
David Sorley, college freshman:
"Being a P.K., I have sat at
many Bible "banquets"—so many,
in fact, that often I look at even
choice dishes as being trite. I have
long thought of I John as the diet
for "newborn
babes," but my

"Incidentally, I've also found
quite a quantity of meat. I have
always been fed at these Bible
studies, but sometimes a little
skimpily. Therefore I suggest that
each group should appoint one
member to lead the discussions
each week."
Donna Jenkins, college sophomore:
"In the rush of college life, we
often substitute chapel and other
services for individual Bible study.
I have appreciated the impetus the
Bible study groups have given me
for real study on my own. Then,
the discussions
have clarified
difficult verses
and brought out
many view-points.
However,
if this plan is to
achieve its pur-pose,
it must
have the whole-hearted
support
and participation of all of us, with
each one studying the passage
prayerfully and attending his or
her group faithfully."

Appear in
Tri-meet
by Rich Stevens
The cry of "fore" echoes across
the fairways as Bethel's golfers
again tee off on a new season. A
history of successful intercolleg-iate
competition appears to be con-tinuing
as the linkmen have al-ready
posted two wins against only
a single loss. They won from both
Augsburg and Hamline 10 1/2 4 1/2,
While falling to River Falls 10 1/2 -
7%.
Three returning lettermen, Don
Mattson, Bob Hames, and Dale
Malaise constitute the neuclei of
the team. Showing good promise
are Denny Johnson, Bob Samuel-son,
and Rich Bergstrom.
Weather permitting, coach Jerry
Healy's parbusters practice daily
for about two hours. Thus, much
effort is being put forth by our
teams as they attempt to further
Bethel's golfing success.
Keller Course is the scene of ac-tion
this afternoon as the links-men
tackle St. Thomas and Ham-line.
Saturday, Mattson and Hames
will participate in a collegiate in-vitational
tournament at Bemidji.
Mattson, who distinguished him-self
last year as medalist winner at
the conference meet, will be in the
District 13 playoffs on May 15. If
he is successful there, he will go
on to national competition.
According to Healy, the carry-over
of golf enjoyment into later
life is truly worthy of the patient
practice of youth. Though frustrat-ing
at times to the novice, golf
can be enjoyed by all. A duffer's
down-the-middle drive can give a
thrill equal to the master's hole-in-
one.
Netmen Capture
TwoOutofThree
The improving Bethel tennis
team has won two of their three
recent meets. They were victor-ious
over Northwestern college in
Minneapolis and Augsburg college,
but were defeated by St. Thomas.
Dick Larson, Rog Jackson, Larry
Peterson, Gary Scull, Jerry Dahlin,
and Eddie Carlson posted a clean
sweep of 9-0 in the Northwestern
contest. Then, the netmen dropped
an 8-1 decision to a strong St.
Thomas squad, the defending
champs of the MIAC Conference.
Larson and Peterson captured
Bethel's only point with a doubles
triumph.
Playing St. Thomas proved ad-vantageous,
as Bethel tucked a-way
a tidy 6-3 victory over a fair
Augsburg squad. The Auggie's
first and second singles men edged
Larson and Jackson, but then
Bethel's Peterson retaliated to
whip his opponent 6-4. Gary Scull
won a convincing 3-6, 6-0, 6-1 vic-tory,
with Jerry Dahlin winning
his match 6-4, 6-1. Eddie Carlson
finished the meet by smashing
Auggie apposition 7-5, 6-3.

A completely new system will be
inaugurated for the second annual
Bethel College fall athletic camp
this year according to coaches
Owen Halleen and Jerry Healy.
This year the camp will include
members of the cross-country and
basketball teams as well as mark-ing
the beginning of fall football
practice. The new system will re-sult
in approximately a three-fold
increase in attendance, as the
coaches intend to issue over 60
invitations to potential aspirants
for the three squads. Gene Glader
and Phil Carlson will assist Hal-leen
and Healy in the operation of
the camp. Glader joins the staff
of the athletic department for
1961-62 as head track coach and
assistant basketball coach, in ad-dition
to his role as assistant foot-ball
coach. Carlson, instructor in
mathematics at Bethel, will be
serving his inaugural term as an
assistant to Halleen.
Wood Lake, Wisconsin, will a-gain
be the site of the pre-season
camp, which begins on Sept. 3
with a meeting on the college cam-pus.
Campus facilities will provide
overnight accomodations and the
group will leave en masse on the
morning of Labor Day, Sept. 4.
Halleen, Healy, and their assist-ants
will waste no time in remov-ing
the summer lethargy as the
first football and cross-country
practices are scheduled for Labor
Day afternoon. The basketball
squad will be engaged primarily
in conditioning and training ex-cises
and will not hold formal
practices as such. The group will
embark for the return trip to the
Bethel campus following the even-ing
meal on Sept. 9.
The highlight of the camp will
be an inter-squad football scrim-mage
which will be held under
strict game conditions on Saturday
afternoon, Sept. 9. Halleen empha-sizes
that all interested spectators
will be welcome to attend the
scrimmage and receive their first
look at the 1961 edition of the
Royal gridders.
The purposes of the camp are
three-fold. The athletic department
wishes to develop good group mor-ale
among the various athletes;
to train and condition the athletes
for top performances in their re-spective
sports; and to distinctly
impress in every mind the vital
need for a dynamic relationship
with Jesus Christ, both as mem-bers
of a team and as individuals.
Rev. Robert Brunko, Red Wing,
Minn., will serve as camp pastor
and will lead morning Bible stud-ies
and evening devotional services.

Lusty hitting by Jack McNaugh-ton
and Don McKelvy carried the
Bethel Royal's diamond squad to a
narrow 13-10 victory over Concor-dia
of St. Paul on May 4. Bethel
had to contain a late rally to gar-ner
the victory as the losers tal-lied
seven of their 10 runs in the
last two innings.
Bethel jumped off to a 5-0 lead
in the first inning, largely on the
strength of McNaughton's grand-slam
home run. The winners tal-
Harrier Purcell
Sets New Record
Bethel's cindermen managed re-spectable
showings against tough
competition largely through the
efforts of peerless distance runner,
Fred Purcell. On Apr. 22, at the
Carleton Relays, Purcell finished
second in the mile run giving
Bethel five of the six points it
earned at the meet. Bethel's sprint
medley garnered the other point
by placing fifth in the sprint med-ley
relay.
In a quadrangular meet on Apr.
25 involving the Royals, St. Tho-mas,
Hamline, and Augsburg,
Bethel finished third behind St.
Thomas and Hamline respectively.
Once again Purcell paced the team
as he took three first places to
win fifteen of Bethel's thirty-six
points. Fred won the half mile,
mile, and set a new school record
of 10:37 in winning the two mile.
He had strong support from Paul
Sloan who finished fourth in the
mile and third in the two mile.
Captain Larry Bradshaw finished
third in the 440. Ron Swanson was
impressive in taking fourth posi-tion
in both the high and low hur-dles
and the college mile. The
mile relay team of Bruce Erickson,
Les Weigum, Larry Bradshaw, and
Jan Kolbrek competed in the col-lege
division mile relay.
Narrow Win Makes
Royals Champions
In their return game with Dr.
Martin Luther college, the Bethel
Royals turned the tables and won
their first game 8-7. Behind 7-2
after four innings, the Royals
fought back to tie the game and
then scored in the last of the ninth
for the win.
The Royals were led by Jack Mc-
Naughton with three doubles and
by Dave Cox, Don McKelvey, Larry
Stair, and Lyle Anderson who each
had two hits.

lied again in the third when Mc-
Naughton's second circuit blow
combined with a three-run blast
by Holmberg netted four runs.
Two hits, a walk, and some shoddy
fielding gave Concordia three runs
in the fifth. The losers scored two
runs in the seventh. Bethel scored
one in the fifth, two in the sixth,
and one in the seventh for a 13-5
lead after seven innings. Coach
Owen Halleen then cleared his
bench and removed Holmberg from
the mound in favor of Chuck
Bloomquist. Bloomquist ran into
control problems and could only
retire one batter. Clouse came on
to shut out Concordia for the re-mainder
of the contest, but the
five runs in the eighth brought the
margin of victory to only three
runs.
McNaughton was the hitting
hero with his two home runs, a
single, and some lightning-like
base-running. Holmberg's home
run, two singles by Larry Stair,
and singles by Dave Cox and
Tuffy Bryant rounded out the
Royal's total of 11 hits.
Holmberg pitched well, allow-ing
only two earned runs and six
hits while fanning three over seven
innings. Concordia finished with a
total of 10 hits and the losers com-mitted
five errors. Bethel was
charged with four errors.
Bethel Loses
To Concordia
On Apr. 29, Bethel took the
field against Concordia Junior col-lege
and ran into a strong hitting
opposition. The lack of scoring
punch hampered the Royal nine
and the pitching staff allowed the
junior college 15 runs, resulting
in a final score of 15-8.
The game highlights for the
Royals were three hits by Dave
Cox and Jack McNaughton's sec-ond
home run of the year. The
pitchers were John Holmberg, Bob
Clouse, and Chuck Bloomquist.
