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. Officer Installment Culminates Elections 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; June Erickson, copy editor; Bob Larson, business manager; Marcia Daniels, advertising manager; Judy Van Wambeke, office manager; Sharon Borg, circulation manager; Larry Franks, photographer; Ed-ward Avey, adviser. (Photo by Franks) Three male chorus members ap-pear to be following that old ad-age, "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. (Photo by Franks) thoughts of the tomorrow night. Thursday, April 12, 1962 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. Swaying palms and springtime in Paris convey exotic places to be visited at the F-S and J-S banquets Bethel's three choirs will exodus in diverse directions April 19 for separate concert tours in mid-eastern, mid-western, and north-western states. The male chorus, under the di-rection of C. Howard Smith, will embark on a nineteen day, 4,000 mile tour of northwestern United States aboard "The Empire Build-er." e CLARION Volume XXXVIII—No. 13 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Choir Groups Plan Tours; Communions Men to Visit West Coast In Chapels Financial Aid Plan to Be Revised and Increased Page 2 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. by Francis Wheeler The best that an incarnation by "I am the resurrection and the itself could offer was to provide life; he that believeth in Me, broken mankind with an effective though he were dead, yet shall he helper—from outside.

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. lEbe 31nbex: 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. Liz Carlson, Karen Neslund Co-editors 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.

NAME ADDRESS L CITY ZONE STATE 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.

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.

Cornelius Jewelry Co. 628 Nicollet Ave. (3rd Floor) Minneapolis, Minnesota Thursday, April 12, 1692 by Annette Larson 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 CLARION Page 3 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.

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. Senate to Appoint Committee Chairmen Persons interested in student senate committee chairmanships should contact any present sen-ate member, announced Steve Peterson, senate president. Positions open include the academic, athletic, cultural, re-ligious, and social co-ordinators, as well as election board chair-man. Nominations will be consider-ed at the first senate meeting in May, and the appointees will assume their senate positions upon senate confirmation.

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.

Leonard Carroll, pastor Gordon Sundberg, Youth Dir. die by Shirley Stearns 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.

Institute of Arts University of Minnesota Walker Art Gallery Revue 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.

National Tests Check Progress All seniors and sophomores will receive testing on a national level which will enable them to compare their progress with other students on Bethel's campus as well as with students across the United States. On Thursday, April 12, seniors will take the Area Tests of the Graduate Record Examinations. The test will take approximately four hours and will cover the areas of the social sciences, the humani-ties, and the natural sciences. Students have a choice of corn-ing at 7:40 a.m. until 12 noon or at 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Those coming at 7:40 should report to Room 211, and those coming at 9 should go to Room 204. Sophomores will participate in the National Guidance Testing program, which will include work in reading, social studies, writing, science, and mathematics. Sopho-mores will be tested in the audi-torium from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 12, and from 9 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. on Friday, April 13. Arnold's Barber Shop Lexington Plaza Shopping Center 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.

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.

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.

Transcript | 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. Officer Installment Culminates Elections 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; June Erickson, copy editor; Bob Larson, business manager; Marcia Daniels, advertising manager; Judy Van Wambeke, office manager; Sharon Borg, circulation manager; Larry Franks, photographer; Ed-ward Avey, adviser. (Photo by Franks) Three male chorus members ap-pear to be following that old ad-age, "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. (Photo by Franks) thoughts of the tomorrow night. Thursday, April 12, 1962 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. Swaying palms and springtime in Paris convey exotic places to be visited at the F-S and J-S banquets Bethel's three choirs will exodus in diverse directions April 19 for separate concert tours in mid-eastern, mid-western, and north-western states. The male chorus, under the di-rection of C. Howard Smith, will embark on a nineteen day, 4,000 mile tour of northwestern United States aboard "The Empire Build-er." e CLARION Volume XXXVIII—No. 13 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Choir Groups Plan Tours; Communions Men to Visit West Coast In Chapels Financial Aid Plan to Be Revised and Increased Page 2 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. by Francis Wheeler The best that an incarnation by "I am the resurrection and the itself could offer was to provide life; he that believeth in Me, broken mankind with an effective though he were dead, yet shall he helper—from outside.

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. lEbe 31nbex: 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. Liz Carlson, Karen Neslund Co-editors 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.

NAME ADDRESS L CITY ZONE STATE 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.

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.

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 CLARION Page 3 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.

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. Senate to Appoint Committee Chairmen Persons interested in student senate committee chairmanships should contact any present sen-ate member, announced Steve Peterson, senate president. Positions open include the academic, athletic, cultural, re-ligious, and social co-ordinators, as well as election board chair-man. Nominations will be consider-ed at the first senate meeting in May, and the appointees will assume their senate positions upon senate confirmation.

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.

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.

Institute of Arts University of Minnesota Walker Art Gallery Revue 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.

National Tests Check Progress All seniors and sophomores will receive testing on a national level which will enable them to compare their progress with other students on Bethel's campus as well as with students across the United States. On Thursday, April 12, seniors will take the Area Tests of the Graduate Record Examinations. The test will take approximately four hours and will cover the areas of the social sciences, the humani-ties, and the natural sciences. Students have a choice of corn-ing at 7:40 a.m. until 12 noon or at 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Those coming at 7:40 should report to Room 211, and those coming at 9 should go to Room 204. Sophomores will participate in the National Guidance Testing program, which will include work in reading, social studies, writing, science, and mathematics. Sopho-mores will be tested in the audi-torium from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 12, and from 9 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. on Friday, April 13. Arnold's Barber Shop Lexington Plaza Shopping Center 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.

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.

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: TEAM WON LOST Barons 4 0 Squires 4 0 Faculty 3 1 Men's Intramurals Feature Handball, Ping Pong Tourneys 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 The track squad, coached by Gene Glader, hopefully looks for-ward to a victory over Concordia Jr. College Saturday afternoon. participate in a triangular meet at St. Peter against Gustavus Adolphus and Duluth.
