              Classes Sponsor Annual Events
Soft lights, music, and swirling dresses will en-hance
the foreign atmosphere pervading the semi-formal
F-S and J-S banquets held tomorrow evening,
April 13.
"Tropical Lagoon" is the theme of the junior-senior
banquet, where the south seas atmosphere
of Captain's Cove restaurant in Apache Plaza will
provide an exotic setting.
The festivities will begin at 7:15 p.m. with a
tour of the plaza. After the semi-formal banquet
itself, there will be an intermission with a pro-gram
immediately following in the lower level of
the restaurant.
Installation of officers will be one of the main
events of the evening. Emcee Gerald Healy will
introduce Bob Hurt, senior class president, who will
present this year's senior class officers. An original
reading in honor of the senior class will be given,
followed by a girl's trio.
Next year's senior class officers will then be an-nounced,
and the traditional senior class gavel will
be passed on to the new leaders. Following this, Dr.
Finlay will address a challenge to the new officers.
Concluding the varied program will be Joe
Jung, violinist, who will present a program rang-ing
from light comedy to more
serious entertainment.
A French theme under the title
"Bonjour Paris" will be carried
out at the freshman-sophomore
banquet, which will be held at
6:30 p.m. at the YWCA at 123
West Fifth street in St. Paul.
Hosts and hostesses will greet
the couples at the door as they
arrive and present the girls with
bouquets of spring flowers.
During the banquet, a stroll-ing
trio from the Minneapolis
Symphony Orchestra, playing a
violin, bass, and accordion, will
wander among the tables, play-ing
for the couples.
After the banquet, a madrigal
group of freshman and sophomore
choir members led by Ed Anthony
will perform. Following this, Carol
Lundquist will present several
readings.
As the highlight of the evening's
events, the newly elected freshman
and sophomore class officers will
be announced, and then formally
inaugurated. Dr. Clarence Bass will
preside as emcee for the evening.
Tropics and Paris
Highlight Banquets
The class elections will culminate with the
inauguration of the new officers of the sopho-more,
junior and senior classes of 1962-63 tomorrow
night, April 13, at the Freshman-Sophomore and
Junior-Senior banquets respectively.
Vying for presidency of the 1962-63 senior class
are Duane Golden and John Holmberg. Competing
for other offices are Evans Curry and Earl Lemon,
vice-president; Bruce Carman and Curt Hallstrom,
treasurer; Judy Bergfalk and LeRoyce Hohn, secre-tary;
and Bill Damberg, Sharon Dickau, and Donna
Jenkins, representative.
The senior nominating committee presented the
above list at their class meeting on April 2, and
no further nominations were received from the
floor.
Those surviving the primary election for the 1962-
63 junior class officers are Ed Anthony and Jim
Spiceland, president; Lee Carlson and Bryce Krohn,
vice president; Bob Larson and Roger Olson, 'treas-urer;
Gretchen Sawyer and Sandra Stearns, secre-tary;
and Dean Dahlquist and Bob Sorley, repre-sentative.
Candidates for junior class officers were estab-lished
by a nominating committee, as well as nomi-nations
from the floor at a class
meeting on April 5. Primary elec-tions
then narrowed the number
of candidates for each office from
four to two.

Senate Silent
On New Staff
by Sharon Dickau
Subject to publications board
formation and senate approval,
Dean Dahlquist and Neva Rogers
are assuming the position of 1962-
63 CLARION co-editors.
Dahlquist, a sophomore natural
science major from Rockford, Illin-ois,
has been assistant editor dur-ing
the current year. He has also
been freshman class president and
chairman of the senate constitu-tional
revision committee.
Also a sophomore, Miss Rog-ers,
English major from Wil-mette,
Illinois, has served her
apprenticeship as news editor.
Because she plans to study at
the University of Wales next
year, she will co-edit only until
June.
Freshman class president, Dave
Johnson, has been appointed to
the newly created position of man-aging
editor. The rest of the staff
is composed of Judy Dow, news
editor; Karen Nelson, feature edi-tor;
Bob Beckstrom, sports editor;

"Go West young manl"
Highlights of their program
include "Battle Hymn of the Re-public,"
featuring a brass en-semble,
and "Sea Tale," featur-ing
accompanist Dean Dahlquist.
A special feature of the chorus
is a trumpet trio of Ed Carlson,
Kermit Grenz, and Denny John-son.
The trip also includes a brief
visit to the World's Fair, "Century
21," for the chorus while in Seattle,
Washington. Dr. Roy Dalton will
travel with the chorus as faculty
representative.
The mid-eastern United States,
plus Toronto and Hamilton, Can-ada,
is the destination of the wo-men's
choir, under the direction of
Robert Peterson, in its 2,800 mile
tour.
Their program, centered on
the theme of the individual's re-lationship
to God, includes num-bers
such as "God So Loved the
World," "Deep River," and "Chil-dren
of the Heavenly Father."
A special feature of the women's
choir program is a trombone quar-tet
composed of Carol Johnson,
Geraldine Miller, Joyce Swanson
and Vivian Walker.
Q. T. Smith will be accompany-ing
the choir as faculty represen-tative,
and Miss Clara Seekamp as
organist. Judy Lindemann is pian-ist.
The college choir will wend
its way through mid-western
states on a twelve day, 1,600
mile tour centered mainly in
Illinois and Iowa. Faculty rep-resentative
will be Dr. Paul Fin-lay.
The choir, under the direction of
Robert Berglund, will present
"Motet Number One" by Bach, con-sidered
to be one of the most diffi-cult
pieces for double choir, and
three motets by the contemporary
composer Knut Nystedt.

Set Precedent
The observance of two Commun-ion
services will be held during
regular chapel services for the
first time in the history of the
college and seminary.
The college will observe Com-munion
in its chapel service at 10
a.m. on Wednesday, April 18.
On Thursday, April 19 at 10
a.m. the seminary will observe
Communion at the regular sem-inary
chapel.
Rev. Warren Magnuson, pastor
of Central Baptist church, and
President Lundquist will officiate.
The student affairs office has
announced both the addition of
$30,000 to the present student fin-ancial
aid allotment and a revision
of the scholarship program. Part
of next year's tuition raise will
cover this increase.
One-third of this amount has
been designated for loans, one-third
for scholarships and grants-in-
aid, and the remaining third for
fellowships and assistantships.
According to Dean Webster
Muck, the changes resulted from
recommendations to provide fin-ancial
aids for sophomores and
also from a desire to distinguish
between the honorary award and
the stipend. Under the new sys-tem,
need will be an important
factor.
Students with an honor point
ratio of 2.6 at the conclusion of
their sophomore year, will be
granted automatically full tuition
for their junior year. Previously,
a 2.5 had been necessary.
Running for sophomore class
officers are Bob Beckstrom and
Brian McIntosh, president; Keith
Anderson and Truett Lawson,
vice president; Gene Brunzell
and Lynda Runbeck, treasurer;
Sue Griffith and Joan Peterson,
secretary; and Dick Fredrickson
and Karen Nelson, representa-tive.
Final election of class officers
will be held tomorrow in the stu-dent
center for all classes from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Class representatives are be-ing
elected for the first time this
year due to the provisions of the
newly adopted constitution. As
senate candidates, these persons
were required to file declarations
of candidacy and to circulate
petitions to have their names
placed on the final ballot.
Class representatives will as-sume
their senate positions on May
1, while the newly elected class
officers will assume their duties on
the closing day of this school year.
In addition, any person having
achieved a 2.2 by the end of his
freshman year is now eligible to
receive aid in amounts up to full
tuition. Determining factors in-clude
individual need and involve-ment
and participation in campus
activities.
The second major revision in-volves
the Baptist Leadership
Training scholarship, which now
will be open to all those graduat-ing
in the upper quarter of their
high school classes, and who
maintain a "B" average as a full-time
student for their first sem-ester
at Bethel.
An additional Freshman Merit
scholarship is also being offered
which carries the same stipulations
as the Baptist Training scholar-ship,
except that it is not restrict-ed
to members of a Baptist church.
Also, the Clifton Community
clinic will be offering a $500 schol-arship
next year to a Bethel gradu-ate
beginning his first year of
medical school.

the CLARION Thursday, April 12, 1962 Christ's Resurrection Declares
CLARION Editors State A Life of Other-centered Love
Staff Intentions, Policies
With the publication of this issue, a new CLARION staff has assum-ed
its positions. A new group of students has been appointed to publish
a bi-weekly paper. And, with new personnel must necessarily come new
and different ideas, and hence, the traditional "statement" of policy must
once again be uttered.
The student newspaper of a small, liberal arts college is able to
offer varied avenues of educational experience, both to those responsible
for "putting the paper to press" and also to the general reader.
An important value of a newspaper is found, of course, in its
news coverage, the expected recording of the events of the year.
But, in addition, a newspaper should be instrumental in the cul-tural
and intellectual development of its readers.
In the areas of music, literature, art, world affairs, religion etc., the
newspaper can become the catalyst through which the students and fac-ulty
of a college work together for mutual stimulation and enlighten-ment.
As the official student publication, the campus press finds its
greatest challenge and responsibility in the area of student opinion. The
newspaper becomes an expression of the student—his views, his prob-lems.
Although ascertainable throughout the entire paper, student
opinion is centered on the editorial page—in editorials and in letters
to the editor. An editorial is not a news story, responsible for an
objective presentation of fact; rather, it is a subjective interpreta-tion
of campus events. But this does not stamp a newspaper as bias-ed,
for differing viewpoints may always be voiced through letters
to the editor.
Students are encouraged to state their opinions in letters to the
editor of 300 words or less. Longer letters will be edited with the au-thor's
approval. All letters must be signed when received, although
names will be withheld at the discretion of the editor.
Through the editorial column, the editor assumes an obligation to
comment on campus life, its successes and its failures. Undeniably, eval-uation
will, in part, include criticism, but it is not our intention that this
position on page two be labeled a "critic's corner" or a "cynic's com-mentary."
It is our hope that the spirit of this agency may be such that
suggestions may be offered and accepted in a constructive manner.
In view of the above considerations—that a newspaper's value
is based on both its traditional function of news reporting and its
reflection and initiation of student opinion—one would conclude
that this value would be increased with a change from a bi-weekly
to a weekly publication.
It is obvious that the actual news value of a newspaper published
only twice monthly is greatly diminished from what it should be. The
emphasis is necessarily diverted from its intended purpose to inform, to
a mere recording of past events.
A weekly publication would allow more timely and more complete
coverage of campus activities, many of which must now be ignored or
slighted due to lack of adequate space. For example, more attention
should be given to such areas as club events, seminary activities, ath-letics,
etc.
An extended publications schedule would necessarily involve
increased financial support. While this increase would be partially
absorbed through advertising and subscriptions, the major portion
would have to be met by the inclusive fee.
However, this would not anticipate a raise in the inclusive fee. As
was expressed in the last senate meeting, the increased allotment for
a weekly CLARION publication could be covered through a much-needed
re-evaluation, and hence, a reapportionment of the present funds.

still the storm, walk unharmed
through the midst of the angry
mob.
And these powers would have
made it easy for Him to rule with-out
using violence or naked force,
or at least with a very minimum of
such things. He could easily have
reconciled most of the influential
people who were opposed to Him
—in fact, if He had just been a
little less scathing in His public
denunciation of them, He would
never have aroused their resent-ment.
In the rare cases where oppo-sition
developed, His own follow-ers
would have dealt with it
promptly without His personal
approval; and His own role
would have been simply to check
their enthusiasm and deal with
the recalcitrant lovingly and un-derstandingly
as a wise patron
and powerful protector.
Beyond question, the reins of
human government were within
Jesus' easy reach. This is what
ratan offered Him; and this is what
He refused, not just once but many
times in the course of His minis-try.
He could have set up a benevo-lent
society in which man would
have the maximum encouragement
to do the right thing. But He did
not do so.
Why not He would not be
man's patron, because He did not
want man to be less than man.
On the contrary, He sought to
unmask in man the face of God.
In the resurrection we see the
living proof that God has indeed
folowed through on His holy as-severation
at creation: "Let us
make man in our image, after
our likeness."
And so it was the life of resur-rection
quality which the Son of
God lived out in His incarnation.
Jesus' whole life was a triumph
over death. Generative power was
in His every touch, not merely on
those occasions when He raised the
dead, but in His power to quicken
all who would hearken—to produce
in them the same quality of life.
His resurrection declared the
triumphant issue of this king of
life, the life which has for its
fabric other-centered love. Such
was the life Jesus lived; and such
is the life He offers us.

Social Scientists Examine 'Old Age'
Robert M. Gary and David 0. Moberg, The
Church and the Older Person. Grand Rapids,
Michigan: Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1962.
pp. 162 $3.50.
by Walfred H. Peterson
Why review a book on old age
in a college and seminary paper?
One obvious reason is that the au-thor
is a professor in the college.
But there is a better reason for
those who are trying to be intelli-gently
alert to the changing world
—our society will have to treat
the problems related to old age in
more serious ways in the coming
years.
Medical science insists on
making people live longer, and
society finds itself with a grow-ing
proportion of its members
over 65, or 60, or 55, or when-ever
old age starts. These peo-ple
find that the "golden years"
are not necessarily golden at
all.
These years require not a rock-ing
chair, a knife for whittling or
needles for knitting, but rather,
they require all sorts of economic,
social and religious adjustments
that tax the capacities of most
older persons.
In days when the old folks still
were needed to help with the
chores around the farm, these
problems of adjustment were mini-mized.
Now, however, the demands
of industrial and urban living have
a way of making the oldster un-needed
and in some respects, un-wanted.
Industrial unemployment due
to "old age" hits even robust
men of the common labor force
in their forties, while compe-tent
pastors, victims of the Am-erican
cult of youth, find that
their services are not sought by
churches as soon as the "young-er
people" think of them as
"old."
The church believes that its
message is relevant to people of
all ages, but what does it and its
message do to help older persons
through the trying times of old
age? What might it do? These are
the questions treated in the book
at hand.
The first seven chapters, based
on sound social science research,
give a great deal of information
about both the older person and
his relation to the church. Of
these, the first five chapters are
most useful, though reading here
is not easy.
Paragraphs giving summaries
of research have the advantage
of much information and the
disadvantage of statistical data
turned into prose.
Chapters six and seven are use-ful
accounts of interviews with
aged persons, though their value
would have been enhanced if more
critical questions about their
worth had been asked.
For example, the writer should
ask if the complaints about the
church are a function of old age
or the function of a grouchy per-sonality
constant at all ages.
Chapters eight and nine are
good check lists on what the
church and the older person can
do to assist each other. They
should be used by pastors and
church leaders as they evaluate
their efforts to serve older peo-ple.
Here the authors make a
good synthesis of theory with
concrete practice.
Certainly, seminary students will
want this book if they intend to
serve the average local church.
Youth knows little of the dynamic
problems elders face. Youth thinks
that only the young know change
and tension. Youth thinks that age
means being "settled."
The young pastor can rid him-self
of such errors by a reading of
this book before the facts of the
local parish force him to learn
that old age is not commonly
"golden."
Dear Editor:
We wish to announce that staff
positions for the 1963 SPIRE are
now open. Students interested in
working on the yearbook will find
opportunities in the areas of art,
photography, copy, business, and
office managing. Applications
should be made immediately in
the SPIRE office, as initial plans
for the coming year are being for-mulated.
The dedication and presentation
of the '62 edition of the yearbook
will be made at the all-school ban-quet
on May 18.
The book, taking as its theme
"Reflections on Life at Bethel"
is a 224-page written and pictor-ial
account of the campus in its
academic, religious, cultural, so-cial,
and athletic aspects. A six-teen
page introduction is a fea-tured
section of the book.
We wish to remind students who
have not completed payment of
fees for the SPIRE that they are
required to do so before the books
are distributed. Payment should be
handled through the SPIRE office.

The yoke He offers—the yoke
of triumphant self-giving—dem-mands
involvement in and com-mitment
to the human race. At
the same time it means con-frontation
of the living God, and
heartfelt assent to His way, in
the depths of every human ex-perience.
In short, it is the habit of self-giving
in the same measure in
which Christ gave Himself for a
needy but unresponsive and poten-tially
destructive mankind.

Satire Without Insight
Becomes Burlesque
by Jeannine Bohlmeyer
Satire may be defined as "a
literary manner which blends a
critical attitude with humor and
wit to the end that human institu-tions
may be improved." Satire
may be gentle, laughing at men's
follies, or it may be bitter, weep-ing
at their vices. Both types have
similar requirements, limitations,
and uses.
Satire, like a lyric or a short
story, demands perceptive insight
and artistic ability. Without clear
purpose and literary skill, the
satire which should "sever the
head at one stroke and leave the
body standing" becomes personal
incentive bludgeoning the victim
to death, or it becomes burlesque
providing passing and purposeless
amusement.
Skill is also required to in-sure
that the cast of characters
and the dramatic situation which
serve as the vehicle for the
satire comprise a unified whole
on a literal level as well as pro-vide
the points of comparison
with the segment of reality be-ing
attacked.
Because of this narrative basis
for the satire, even a skillful writ-er
runs the inevitable risk of being
read literally by some matter-of-fact
persons. The popularity of
sections of Gulliver's Travels as a
children's story is a familiar ex-ample
of satiric writing being read
for its narrative only, without per-ception
of the satiric intent.
Failure to see the satiric pur-pose
is not always the fault of
careless or unsophisticated read-ing,
however. The writer may blur
the focus of his writing so that
he seems to be attacking the exist-ence
of some human institutions,
such as governments or religious
organizations, when he intended to
expose an abuse or an error which
has corrupted some institution or
lessened its possible benefits.
Barring complete misunder-standing,
the principal limitation
of satire is that it points out de-
Love Discloses
Triumphant Life
(cont'd. from p. 2)
This other-centered love is the
very core of divine life. "God is
love, and he who dwells in love
dwells in God, and God dwells in
him."
The resurrection of Jesus Christ
is God's solemn affirmation that
such a life of self-giving must and
shall prevail. It is the supreme
demonstration of creative power,
exercised in and for man, and
evoking in him the expression of
God's own nature.

fects without suggesting reme-dies.
Unless possible solutions
are implicit in the statement of
the problem or unless readers
are stimulated to contrive their
own plans for positive action,
satire may lose the motive of in-stigating
reformation and degen-erate
into ineffectual fault-find-ing.
But satire can serve a useful
function. Like any work of art, a
satire has a positive value in pro-viding
enjoyment of form and con-tent
in harmonious balance. It also
can have the value of inciting the
readers to strive for an analogous
balance in human existence by re-moving
jarring elements and cor-recting
mistakes.
As it sharpens awareness of evil
and prods into action, satire can
be an effective tool in shaping and
patterning the life on a Christian
campus or in the wider commun-ity.

The April 4-7 national conven-tion
of the American Association
of Evangelical Students has left a
number of impressions upon me—
of new friends, of ideas shared, of
the well-worded insights of Dr.
Vernon Grounds, of the heated
caucuses, of the ridiculous aspects
of a long trip.
But neither the association nor
the convention can be evaluated
on this emotional basis, and Bethel
should once again take a long, hard
look at this affiliation.
Despite the group's steady
growth (14 of the 33 schools rep-resented
were interested non-members),
the organization still
has some serious weaknesses.
The association's major problem
could perhaps be summarized as
lack of purpose. Viewing AAES
narrowly as a "service" organiza-tion,
the leadership has refused to
permit the group to stand for any-thing
save a short doctrinal creed.
This hindered the workshop ses-the

The boldest act in Martin Luther's event-ful
life was his solemn committal
of the bull of his excommunica-tion
to flames on Dec. 10, 1520.
This act symbolized defiance of the
power before which Europe had for
centuries bowed in awe. Luther thus
emancipated the Protestant world
from religious tyranny and restored
to the Christian that liberty which
is the hallmark of Biblical faith.
Luther taught strict allegiance to the
Word of God...combined with full
liberty to search for the truth. This
same allegiance and liberty also de-scribe
the teaching at Fuller Semi-nary
today, over 400 years later.
Our founder, Charles E. Fuller of The
Old Fashioned Revival Hour, estab-lished
this seminary to defend and
promote the inspiration of Scripture.
Our faculty have drawn up a statement
of faith which is one of the strongest
affirmations of the authority of the
Bible found anywhere.
Our students come from all major de-nominations,
assured that at Fuller
they will learn the cardinal doctrines
of historic orthodoxy... finding their
own denominations presented in a
respectful and scholarly light.
Our stated purpose is to produce Chris-tian
leadership by combining great
learning with great love.
Fuller Theological Seminary is fully
accredited by the American Associa-tion
of Theological Schools.

Quirt Finds Expression
In Calligraphy of Image
Editor's Note : The following
to be written by Minda Pearson,
sity of Jerusalem while her father
inary, is spending his sabbatical
Shalom ovrakha may Yisrael —
peace and blessings from Israel.
I'm afraid that's almost the ex-tent
of my Hebrew, but I can de-scribe
for you some of the inter-esting
contrasts in this "land of
the Bible."
Scenes that I pass walking to
the university bus stop each day
will give an idea of the confused
variety of cultures, backgrounds,
and traditions which are mingling
and trying to merge in this fascin-ating
country.
From my "refuge" at the Is-rael-
American Institute in Jeru-salem,
where father and I live, I
come out onto the Street of the
Prophets and often see a throng
of people in a funeral procession.
Buried six hours after death, the
dead person is wrapped in cloths
and carried by men to the grave-yard.
Women follow weeping.
Just around the corner is a hos-pital
in front of which sit the most
pathetic of human beings—beggars,
licensed by the government, stick-ing
their filthy ragged feet into
the sidewalk and moaning for
money. They exist in this welfare
state only because religious Jews
must give alms to be holy!
Past the hospital stand many
tiny shops: jewelry and watch re-pair
shops, material shops display-ing
cloth sold at no less than $2
a meter, and a small, dark, book
and stationary store with friendly
clerks.
The most typical of these hole-in-
the-wall shops is a combina-tion
falafel (Arab-type sandwich)
and meets (orange or grapefruit
juice) stand. Next is a fashion-able
perfume shop which sells
Revlon refills for $2.50.
At the corner are the only sig-nal
lights in town.
On King George street are ice
cream shops, a bakery, and the
Cafe Allenbys, which even sells a
passable variety of potato chips
and French fries. Spread out on
the sidewalk are the wares of a
peddler—cheap combs, mirors, rib-bons,
and other unappealing items
he sells to make a living for him-self.
Crossing another street we
must jump over the deep ruts
and wait for a donkey cart and
a truck. If the bus is waiting it
means a dash and shove past all
sorts of people—American tour-its
laden with cameras and guide-books,
school girls in their short
skirts, workers milling around,
ultra-orthodox Jews with their
long beards, sidecurls, black
coats and hats, and university
students with their briefcases
and Hebrew newspapers.
The ten-minute, four-cent bus
ride goes through most of the
downtown area, past the Knesset
(parliament building) and a mod-ern
supermarket, through the nic-est
residential district and out onto
a smooth highway from which you
can see the distant Judean hills.
From one place the walls and
towers of the Old City are visible.
They have an' unexplainable at-traction.
Ten minutes' walk and we
would be within the walls of the
Old City, walking the streets that
Christ walked (15 feet below the
surface).
Yet the traffic through the
Mandelbaum Gate, the only pas-sage
between Israel and her
neighbors, is one-way and re-stricted
to Christians. Father
will be crossing at Easter time,
but the rest of us will be con-tent
with our visit last July.
From the Dormition Abbey on
Mount Zion one is able to reach
out and touch the walls of the Old
City, and yet one does not dare.
"So near and yet so far" is the
cliche heard so often in this divid-ed
city. And how true.
In the next article, I will de-scribe
the "feeling" of celebrating
a sacred holiday in the holy land.
by Lorraine Porter
Mr. Walter Quirt, professor of
art at the University of Minnesota,
appeared on campus last week to
discuss his philosophy of art, as
represented by his exhibition cur-rently
on display.
"I am a linear artist, and so for
me, the line is far more expressive
for my purposes than is heavy pig-ment,"
commented Mr. Quirt, "al-though
this does not prevent me
from enjoying the works of what
we call 'plastic artists.'
"For me, the line, wide or
narrow, soft or hard, and the
crystal clear edges of forms are
exciting because they are un-equivocal
in their architectural
assertions.
"The line I have developed for
my purposes is derived from na-ture,
in particular from the branch-es
of trees, which are dissonant in
their aerial gyrations and so struc-tured
as to have innumerable
points of tension."
In Quirt's search for a mode of
expression to represent his own
personality, he has passed through
three stages. His first intense in-terest
in the curve was manifested
in a phase of curvilinear design.
But this disturbed him because
the image was lost in an excess
of Rococo decoration.
The second stage found him
deliberately shifting to the angu-lar
and geometric style. With
this experiment, however, fail-ure
also ensued through a de-humanizing
effect to the figures.
His third and most rewarding
advance is represented by the pic-ture
above, "Horse No. II." Its
technique is a "calligraphy of the
image" in which a scattering of
representative elements are writ-ten
in on the canvas with just
enough line to define the subject,
leaving the rest of the space bare
or interposed with colored shapes
which might, but not necessarily,
define the figure.
Introducing Fine Arts Emphasis
on April 2, Mr. Quirt's lecture ex-plained
the basic rudiments of art.
He stated that art can stem from
either nature or society, and that
concerns of nature are expressed
mainly through feeling, while so-cial
concerns are expressed
through the intellect, with feeling
playing a subordinate role.
As the interpreter of his era,
the modern artist speaks in al-most
pure feeling; since we as
a society no longer have to
struggle to maintain life, we now
turn from the mathematical to
that expression of the inner self.
This tendency is a step towards
a universal language, which art
has proven possible within its
realm. Will this universal language
of inner expression be successful
when applied to other facets of
society — for a world united in
peace? Quirt thinks so.

organization, making the project
only a function of the local stu-dent
governments.
Admittedly, becoming partisan
in politics or economics would be
both disastrous and���at least this
year — impossible. However, a
Christian student organization
would do well to at least express
concern for such elemental ideas
as social justice, racial equality,
alleviation of poverty and disease,
and academic freedom. A refusal
to do so saps both the association
and the conventions of real pur-pose.
Another major shortcoming is
the inter-convention functions of
the organization. A newsletter
circulates regularly and an in-formation
service is intended to
serve as a resource pool of ideas
relating to college programs, ac-tivities,
and services. These ser-vices
have potential, but so far
they have lacked real value, due
both to limited content and to
faulty communications.
A further difficulty involves
leadership. In practice, the assoc-iation
is managed by a small core
of individuals who either master-minded
the idea of an AAES or
are their heirs and loyal followers.
A few schools, including Bethel,
exerted some influence, but until
new blood flows continually into
national leadership, the latter will
not function as democratic govern-ment.
As perhaps an indirect result
of this situation, no annual re-ports
— either financial or ad-ministrative
— were presented
to the delegates. The prolonged
illness of a major officer caused
some complication of responsi-bility,
but did not really provide
a valid reason for such neglect.
Despite these rather grave short-comings,
which admittedly are due
in part to the infant character of
the organization, the AAES has
decided potential—and not only in
terms of the caliber of delegates
and officers, which was unusually
high.
The current rate of increased en-rollment
in state schools may mean
the decline of private colleges—
unless the latter have more than
strictly educational purposes for
their existence.
The Christian college may thus
be able to maintain and even
extend its relative importance,
and an organization comprising
a significant number of such in-stitutions
obviously can be of
great value, if it only will.
And Bethel leadership — and
ideas originating on Bethel's cam-pus
— are very much needed. A
number of schools expressed real
interest in the way Bethel does
things—both as a total college and
as a student organization.
Though no Bethel delegates
were in a position, due to other
commitments, to accept major
leadership responsibilities, future
delegations should definitely be
planned with this in mind.

Mozart's opera Cosi Fan Tutte
and the St. Cloud State college
concert choir, presented as part
of Bethel's Fine Arts Emphasis
on April 6 and 7 respectively, left
viewers with mixed reactions.
The opera, presented by the
University of Minnesota Opera
workshop, was generally charact-erized
by a high degree of quality
in the areas of acting, musician-ship
and staging not usually found
in an amateur group.
The stage set was appropriate
and effective in its simplicity,
while the actual performance ac-curately
communicated the hu-mor
of Mozart's satire on 18th
century society. First presented
in Vienna in 1790, "Cosi Fan
Tutte" or "Women are Like
That" was considered a failure,
but has since become one of
Mozart's most famous operas.
Despite a noticeable weakness
among the soprano voices, the
opera, directed by Mr. Donald
Aird, was generally well-executed,
convincing and enjoyable.

In a disappointing contrast the
St. Cloud State college concert
choir, under the direction of Mr.
Harvey Waugh, displayed a seem-ing
lack of preparation and con-cern
with their presentation.
Although the predominantly
sacred program was sufficiently
appropriate and well - chosen,
little rapport was established be-tween
choir and audience. This
lack was due in part to the le-thargic
attitude conveyed by the
choir and the slow-moving pace
of the program.
The atmosphere of mediocrity
was furthered by the poor mechani-cal
execution of many of the num-bers.
Sloppy entrances and re-leases,
faulty intonation and blend
contributed to the general impres-sion
of a low-quality performance.
Only with its final number,
Berger's "It is Good to be Merry,"
did the choir approach what is
usually expected of a college choir
performance in terms of sensitivity
to both audience and music.

IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL
by Gary B. Scull
The question of capital punish-ment,
which has aroused much
controversy in The Standard, has
been drawing increased national
interest as well. Many leading
writers have been encouraged to
write apologetics for either side of
the question.
One such noteworthy example is
that of Jacques Barzun, who wrote
a short essay, "In Favor of Capital
Punishment," for the spring issue
of The American Scholar (Phi Beta
Kappa quarterly).
Some of the present interest
in the question undoubtedly
comes in the wake of the re-cent
law proposed by Kennedy
which gives a district court jury
the power to decide between
capital punishment or life im-prisonment
for third degree
murder.
However, the concern express-ed
does not stem from this law in
and of itself, but from what some
seems to be a disappointing trend
to abolish capital punishment.
Expanding to an even broader
perspective, we find that since
1953 this question has been a con-cern
of the United Nations as well.
It comes under that branch of UN
activities called "Social Defense"
and is directly concerned with the
so-called "Third committee."
Very little publicity has at-tended
this phase of the UN's
work, possibly because the group
has been slow in arriving at
any definite decisions, and pos-sibly
because the matter has
been sponsored by the smaller
neutral nations rather than by
the great powers.
It is of some significance that
last September the Secretary-Gen-eral
addressed to all member gov-
- ernments a comprehensive ques-tionnaire
on capital punishment,
and that a similar questionnaire
has been distributed to a number
of non-governmental organizations
associated with the UN.
The results of this world-wide
survey are scheduled to be re-ecifewaleA

Captain Dave Cox Lauds
Royals' Pitching, Catching
by Bob Beckstrom
"I'm very pleased with the
depth we have this year," com-mented
Dave Cox, captain of the
baseball team, as he discussed the
season's prospects. He mentioned
the pitching and catching staffs
particularly.
Veterans Curt Hallstrom and
John Holmberg are expected to
carry the pitching load, but Dave
thinks that men like Jim Ander-son,
Jim Austin, and Harold Erick-son
will give them tremendous
depth.
In the catching department,
Jerry Oas and Don McKelvey
will both see plenty of action,
and Dave added that the rest of
the positions could be filled by
three or four men.
This is Dave's second year with
the team, having played ball his
freshman year at Colorado State
college. Last year he held the Roy-al's
second highest batting aver-age—.
347. "I had set a goal of
.350," he remarked, "and I almost
made it, too."
Dave led the team in stolen
bases, and modestly hinted that he
also holds last year's strike-out
record. A ten-game hitting streak,
fine defensive work at his short-stop
position, and leadership abil-ity
all help explain why Dave is
this year's captain.
Besides participating in baseball,
the junior from Long Island, Kan-sas,
also played defensive halfback
on the football team this fall. In
addition, Dave was recently elect-ed
member-at-large on the student
senate, as well as serving this year
as president of Edgren residence.

Sidelines I by Bob Beckstrom
The Bethel athlete has traditionally been discredited and lampooned
by various discriminating elements on our campus. He has usually repre-sented
a negative factor in this institution of high intellectual endeavor.
He is seldom, if ever, recognized as a positive and active force.
The truth of the matter, whether we realize it or not, is that the
Bethel athlete has shown that he has potential dynamic in the Bethel
community. The organization through which he works, the B club, has
recently initiated and supervised several worthWhile activities.
One of its activities, which we have little trouble recalling, is
the sponsoring of this year's Bloodmobile. Under the direction of
Jim Nelson, the club sponsored the project for the first time this
year, and reported a record of 145 pints donated.
A second project which the club has begun this year is a weekly
Bible study on Wednesday mornings in the basement of Edgren resi-dence.
Guest speakers have been asked to participate in the discussions,
and all Bethel men are invited to attend. Also, this Easter vacation, the
B club's gospel quartet will make a tour of churches in the immediate
area.
As in almost any organization, the B club has conducted activities
exclusively for its own membership. "Hell Night" (this is no hyperbole)
will remain in the memories of all club members for years to come.
There are twelve new members who have exceptionally vivid memories
of the occasion, and twelve more who have the April 12 initiation to look
forward to. At present there are 40 members in the club, with eligibility
for membership consisting of lettering in any sport. An annual canoe
trip in northern Minnesota plus the annual fall banquet round out this
year's B club activities.
Just briefly I have mentioned a few of the activities of our B
club. It hardly needs to be said that the athlete's contribution to
Bethel life extends considerably beyond the immediate circle of
athletics and directly influences other areas. The increased interest
and sponsorship of these various activities by the club this year indi-cates
even greater years to come. The Bethel athlete can become
a dynamic force in the Bethel community. He is showing that he
deserves support instead of scorn.
And speaking of support, our spring sports teams would appreciate
all they can get. Fair-to-medium attendance at their games and meets
would even be an improvement over previous years. I realize that a plea
from the sports columnist has as little influence on Bethel's "school
spirit" as a sign has on keeping people off Eric's grass, but I still en-courage
your support. The track, baseball, and tennis teams all promise
some exciting action if not victories.
I'd like to add that next fall the spectators at our football games
will be able to enjoy them all the more since all the games will be play-ed
at Midway Stadium. The parking space, convenient facilities, and
uniform game time are all advantages the spectators will appreciate.
There is one drawback, however, for according to coach Halleen "The
stadium seats only 10,000.
In men's intramurals action has
been centered on four fronts. The
recent wrestling tournament, the
present handball and ping pong
tournaments, and the volleyball
competition have given most stu-dents
a chance for participation.
Winners of the wrestling tour-nament
were Woody Bjork, heavy-weight;
Myron Leafblad, 191; Gene
Brunzell, 177; Curt Hallstrom, 167;
Gene Glader, 157; and Paul Sloan,
147.
Ted Ludlow, Ray Simpkins,
Jerry Draeger, Dick Dahlgren,
Pete Eklund, Dave Dirkes, Bruce
Hagstrom, Bob Smith, and Truett
Lawson gained second places in
their respective divisions.
The Barons netted 61 points in
wrestling to take the team title.
The Pages and Squires followed
with 23 each, the Faculty with 14,
the Counts with 13, and the Dukes
and Peasants with 11 apiece.
In total club points the Barons
have shot up to first place with
208. In second place are the Counts
(183), then the Jesters (180), the
Seminarians (178), the Squires
(134), the Dukes (127), the Pea-sants
(106), the Knights ($), the
Pages (92), and the Faculty (50).
The ping pong and handball
tournaments, which began last
month, will continue until April
20. Until then, the usual chal-lenging,
playing, and tag switch-ing
will determine the top play-er
in each event. After these
two tournaments, badminton and
padd leba I I tournaments are
scheduled.
After four weeks of play, the
volleyball standings are as follows:
