(Photo by Franks) Reminiscing on their four years at Bethel college are two members of the senior class of 1962 as they prepare to participate in the com-mencement activities of this week end. Nine New Instructors Join Bethel's Faculty Seven new full-time faculty members and two part-time in-structors will join the Bethel com-munity in September. Mr. Oliver Mogch, voice; Mr. Roy W. Butler, philosophy; and Mr. Dale Rott, speech, will join the faculty full-time. Dr. James John-son, history; Dr. Ivan Fahs, soci-ology; Mr. Frank Eshelman, phy-sical science; and Dr. J. Runbeck, education, had been previously an-nounced. Mr. Mogch, professor of voice, received his Bachelors degree from Morningside college in Iowa, and his Masters degree from the University of Minne-sota. He taught music in public schools and also taught at Colorado A and M college, but moved to North-western college in 1948, where he has been ever since. He is choir director at Lake Harriet Baptist church in Minneapolis. Mr. Roy W. Butler will join the philosophy department next year. He did undergraduate work at Gordon college, received his Mas-ters degree from Boston university and the University of New Hamp-shire. He will receive his Doctor of Philosophy from Boston univer-sity this spring. Mr. Butler has been teaching at Muskingun college, Ohio, for the past four years, and previous to this he taught at the Univer-sity of Connecticut and Brian university. Mr. Butler's doctoral work centered around the phil-osophy of religious language. The speech department's new instructor is Mr. Dale Rott. Mr. Rott did his undergraduate work at Augustana college, and receiv-ed his Masters degree in speech from the University of Redlands and his Masters degree in fine arts in religious drama from Bos-ton university. He has taught in public schools and at the Univer-sity of Redlands and Gordon col-lege. Joining the faculty as part-time instructors will be Mr. Rolland Hein, English, and Mr. Eliot Don-nels, psychology. Mr. Hein received his Bag"ac<. lors degree from Wheaton and his Masters degree from Purdue. He taught two years at Grace college in Indiana. Mr. Donnels received his B.A. from Louisiana college and his Masters degree from Southern Methodist university. He has been teaching at Ouachiata Baptist col-lege in Arkansas. Both Mr. Hein and Mr. Donnels are working for Doctor degrees at the University of Minnesota. Next year Dr. Paul Finlay will become director of admissions, but will continue to teach one or two sequences of courses in religious education. Reverend S. Bruce Fleming, alumnus of Bethel academy, junior college, and theological seminary and pastor of Salem Baptist church of Chicago will deliver the bac-calaureate message Sunday, May 27, at 11 a.m. to graduates and their friends. The theme of the address is "The World and They That Dwell Therein." After serving pastorates in Wentworth, Wisconsin; Duluth, Minnesota; Kiron, Iowa; and Stanchfield, Minnesota, Reverend Fleming was called in 1952 to the Salem (then Emerald Avenue) Bap-. tist church of Chicago. Under his leadership, membership has doub-led and giving more than tripled. The Salem congregation is fifth largest in the Baptist general con-ference. Ninety-four baccalaureate degrees will be conferred by the board of education at the annual commence-ment exercises of Bethel college and seminary on Sunday afternoon, May 27 at 3 p.m. Gordon G. Johnson, associate professor of homiletics, will pre-sent a Scriptural call to dedication after which Paul R. Finlay, assoc-iate professor of religious educa-tion, will give the invocation. The male chorus, under the direction of C. Howard Smith, Several changes in dormitory ac-comodations and counselling pro-grams have recently been announc-ed by the student affairs office to facilitate the anticipated increase in college enrollment. Dorm counselors for next year have been notified by the student affairs office. Selections were made by a committee from the student affairs office, the house mothers, and the administration. The number of counselors is increasing by two next year, giv-ing a total of six male and seven femaie ‘ounselors: Boqien will have four counselors and Hag-strom will have three. Those chosen are Nancy Gustaf-son, Lyla Nystrom, Pat Foty, Gladys Holmberg, Carolyn Helget, Mary Ann Peterson, Anita Bennett, John Holmberg, Darrell Johnson, Lee Bajuniemi, Bryce Krohn, David Cox and Irving Stauffer. This year, nearly fifty applica-tions were made for positions, the largest number ever received by the student affairs office. Accord-ing to Mr. Eugene Sprinkel, as-sistant dean of students, selections were made on the basis of personal maturity, interest and insight in working with people, and service to the campus. The processional, "Trumpet Tune in D Minor" will be played by Ro-bert Carlson, seminary class of 1962. President Carl H. Lundquist will lead the call to worship, and Clar-ence Bass, Ph.D. and associate pro-fessor of theology will lead invo-cation. Scripture will be read by Roy Dalton, Ph.D. and associate professor of history. Bethel's college choir will pre-sent two selections under the direc-tion of Robert Berglund preceding the address. The benediction will be led by Charles W. Ferguson, director of development. It is anticipated that approxi-mately one thousand people will be present at the service. Among those attending will be relatives and friends of graduating seniors, who are visiting the campus for the commencement week-end. will provide music during the program, and the college band will perform the prelude, the processional, and the recessional. Dr. Josef Nordenhaug, general secretary of the Baptist World al-liance, will deliver the commence-ment address, "The Way Forward." Nordenhaug, a native of Norway, completed his theological studies at the Southern Baptist theological seminary and has served pastorates in Oslo as well as in the United States. Each floor of the dorms will have a residence counselor. These people will work closely with the house mothers in help-ing students to adjust to campus life, answering questions, and directing students to the proper authorities for help academical-ly, if needed. All single women students will be housed on campus next year due to the complete conversion of Hagstrom residence from a mar-ried couples' to a women's dorm. The first and second floors of the building, presently housing married couples, will be remodel-ed to accommodate single women as the third floor now does. The basement of the dorm will be converted into a large recrea-tion and lounge area to provide recreation facilities for girls. The first floor will also have a lounge area. All new furnishings will be provided in the remodel-ing project. Applications for housing next year are available in the student affairs office and should be made as soon as possible. Moberg's Book Selected To Be Book-of-Month "The Church and the Older Per-son," by Dr. David Moberg and Dr. Robert Gray, has been chosen as the August selection of the Pastoral Psychology Book club. Dr. Moberg is chairman of the Social Science department at Bethel and Dr. Gray serves as professor of Sociology at the Uni-versity of Utah. In the book the authors present the known facts about aging and the religious behavior and exper-iences of an older person. Dr. Moberg is also author of "The Church as a Social Institu-tion" soon to be published. ACP RATES CLARION The CLARION was awarded first class honor rating in the sixty-sixth all-American news-paper critical service of the As-sociate Collegiate Press at the University of Minnesota school of journalism April 20, 1962. Papers from first semester 1961-1962 were submitted for judging by editor Sharon Dickau. In 1950 the Foreign Mission board of the Southern Baptist convention elected Dr. Norden-haug president of the Baptist theological seminary in Rusch-likon, Switzerland. As the European representative of the Southern Baptist convention foreign mission board in matters of relief and rehabilitation from 1954 to 1958, Dr. Nordenhaug was instrumental in bringing extensive aid for construction of chapels, youth camps, and theological schools throughout Europe. During the days after the Hun-garian uprising in 1956 he served as chairman of the Baptist Relief committee for Hungary, a sub-committee of the Baptist World alliance relief committee. The presentation of classes will be made by Clifford E. Lar-son, dean of the college and Ed-win J. Omark, dean of the sem-inary. President Carl H. Lundquist will confer degrees and present diplo-mas. H. Wyman Malmsten, assist-ant to the president, will give the benediction. Serving as marshals are Annette Larson and Paul R. Johnson, honor students from the college junior class, and Paul D. Evan and Ken-neth E. Gowdy, honor students h oist the seminary middler class. Choirs, Band To Perform Joint Concert Music ranging from Negro spir-ituals to great choral classics will highlight the fifth annual Com-mencement music festival Friday, May 25, at 8 p.m. in the field-house. This student-centered program features the festival choir, college choir, male chorus, women's choir and band. A brass choir will accompany the festival choir on "Psalm 150" by Franck, and the college band will join the festival choir for Grieg's "Landsighting." Music will range from such sac-red classics as "How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place" by Brahms, to more contemporary music as "E'en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come" by Paul Manz, professor at Concordia college. Soloists for the concert will be two of this year's graduates. Janet Carroll will be performing on the piano and Roberta Yaxley on the organ. As another special feature of the evening, the second selection from each vocal group will be directed by its assistant. The college choir is directed by Mr. Robert Berglund with Bruce Leafblad, another 1962 graduate, as assistant. Ed Anthony is the assistant for the male chorus, under the direc-tion of Mr. C. Howard Smith. Mr. Robert Peterson, in charge of wo-men's choir, is assisted by Nancy Gustafson. Money collected in the free-will offering will be applied to the col-lege scholarship fund, one half for general scholarships and the other half for music scholarships. the CLARION Volume XXXVIII—No. 15 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, May 24, 1962 Nordenhaug To Present Commencement Address Alumnus Bruce Fleming To Speak at Baccalaureate College Office Announces Counselors, Dorm Plans Freedom is a complex and difficult term whose varied interpretations have found many different expressions in our society. As such, it is a concept which those in the liberal arts environment have been forced continually to re-examine. And through these analyses one discovers that in an institution of Christian higher education the role of freedom assumes increased dimensions. In his Report of the President: 1960-61, Dr. Lundquist has presented an interesting exegesis on the application of these principles to the total college life. In describing the situation at Bethel, the president states: "We try not to impose rigid limitations of arbitrary rules upon the majority in order to control the few . . . actually life is carried on at Bethel much as in well-ordered homes in which positive guidance is given but final deci-sions are up to the individual .. . "We seek to emphasize the inner spirit more than the outward law and hope to help each student develop a sense of responsibility that will make freedom move in constructive and dynamic channels." Within this framework of thought, it is extremely diffi-cult to find justification for the action of the music depart-ment earlier in this academic year. At that time it was an-nounced that in order to gain entrance to a choral group, a student would be required to sign a statement pledging that he would participate m certain events, ascribe to certain prac-tices, and also re-affirm his Christianity. Even a cursory perusal of the above quotations would appear to demand an evaluation of the use of such a docu-ment. Although adherence to individual items of this pledge may be questioned separately, the statement by itselt seems to stand in contradiction to the principles of the school. One of the "selling points" of the college is its stress on the personal freedom enjoyed by its student body. Page 18 of the present college catalogue states, "Registration in the school is considered to be an acceptance of such standards, rules and regulations as the administration, or faculty con-sider needful in realizing the school's objectives." Why such a position is seemingly refuted by the music department is puzzling. In addition, the establishment of a music pledge appears to contradict another statement in the catalogue that "the- college attempts to provide an intellectual, social and spiritual community in which individuals . . . are encouraged to assume responsibility intelligently." This responsibility is supposedly dictated by a con-scious effort to relate the Christian experience to all phases of life, and it can be quite generally conceded that the Christian student possesses a tairly adequate sense of responsibility and loyalty. Thus, when this manifestation is disturbed, as the music faculty evidently believes is the case, perhaps the fault is to be found within the program itself rather than within the student. Perhaps too much is being demanded of the indi-vidual for the actual credit remuneration and personal grati-fication he is receiving. If a student fully understands and agrees with the de-mands which will be made upon him, there should be no reason he could not join a group without the demoralizing experience of "promising" to do that to which he already as-sented. The student who would not support a verbal affirma-tion of his responsibilities would most likely also fail to esteem a signed statement. Therefore, as the music department deliberates on the continued use of such a statement, it should also consider the relationship of this code to both our established college prin-ciples and to the maturity and responsibility developed through our faith.

SPIRE Fulfills Stated Aim, Shows Progress, Creativity Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, May 24, Department Requirement Limits Personal Freedom 1962 Curtis Encourages Examination, Discussion, Practice of Religion Dear Editor: Dr. Mounce deserves a vote of thanks for the thoughtfully work-ed- out chapel service of May 16. Scripture, comments, and a hymn oriented around one well-consider-ed idea made the experience a very meaningful one to me. My only regret is that it may not happen again. Admittedly, al-lowance should be made for oc-casional (perhaps weekly), longer convocations or sermons. But why cannot last Wednesday provide the norm for the future usual chapel? Students could enter chapel anticipating an opportunity for a genuine worship experience. The fifteen or twenty minute service would permit both intro-spection and personal confron-tation with the uncluttered real-ity of the written and living Word of God. Such a chapel could leave the seeker-after-God with not only a religious experience, but also with one relevant, and, hopefully, en-riching, insight. Certainly, such an exper-ience on the individual level must always be the prime basis of our Christian lives. But I still believe, if sometimes wistful-ly, that the same consistent sort of possibilities could exist for com-munity worship. Such a plan would not need to depend upon outside speakers and indeed might function best to rely primarily upon members of the Bethel community, con-ceivably even students occasion-ally. Though shorter chapels might be considered to "rob God of His time," God has always appeared to me to value quality over quantity. And if more can be achieved through concise, unified, thought-ful, but shorter, services than through longer, and perhaps dilut-ed or more jumbled and less pur-poseful ones, then we should choose the first alternative. Annette Larson by Dr. R. K. Curtis When asked under normal con-ditions to assess the spiritual tem-perature of the campus, I have more than a few hesitations. But when asked to do so with an early deadline, my hesitations alone are enough to petrify me. So it seems to me the best way to start is by listing a string of bewares. 1. We ought to beware divorc-ing "academic and spiritual." There is no more justification for this than for divorcing any segment or activity in life from the spiritual, be it worship, driv-ing, sleeping, or rook. Indeed, a case might be made for demanding a closer correlation between the academic and spirit-ual, since some students and fac-ulty feel the primary job of Bethel is education. I have known some faculty mem-bers uncharitable enough to take a dim view of the student who by Marilyn Benson "To mirror campus life of the past year." How does the 1962 SPIRE, the yearbook of the college and seminary, attempt to fulfill its expressed purpose? Life is divided into the usual five sections, where each aspect of college life—academic, religious, cultural, social, athletic—is reflect-ed by pictures and words. Each is introduced by well-chosen literary quotations, and in general, they do reflect a balanced cross-section of Bethel life. The academic—The thirty-five pages of class pictures are de-lightfully interrupted by candid shots, but wading through the copy almost reminds one of a college catalog. Perhaps such in-clusion of information is valid for public relations' purposes. The religious — Chapel, special weeks, study groups. These are the organized aspects of our religious life, portrayed by that re-occurring white lecturn. Where does one find the inward essence of relig-ion? The quiet dusk of the semin-ary chapel touches this aloneness of the individual with God. The cultural—The inconsistency of margins is evident here as in the entire book. The bright spot is the Festival of Christmas, a bal-anced combination of both content and style. presents a magnificent devotional at the beginning of class, but at the expense of passing in the day's assignment. 2. We ought to beware identi-fying "spiritual" with any par-ticular bias or list of do's and don't's. The tenacity or fervor with which we hold to our con-victions unfortunately speaks little for their truthfulness. Were it so, we would be naming our children for the Inquisitors. If we must delineate do's and don't's, let us be sure they are most iron-clad for ourselves and most flexible for others. There are dif-ferences between testimonies, con-fessions, statements of faith, and creeds. To take a testimony, delivered in the spontaneity and sunlight of a vigorous faith, and make it a brittle creed, binding in letter as well as in spirit so that heretics may be weeded out, takes little more than an institution bent on 13311M1 The athletic—Too much copy, too few captions and too small photographs are the initial im-pressions. The challenge and discipline of athletics can be bet-ter reflected in one photograph of intensity than by the inter-preted statistics of every game. The social—Only three pages of royalty this year! Here a wide range of activities are adequately represented, but quality of photo-graphs is sacrificed too easily for quantity. The two double-page spreads of campus social life and stunts, steadies, studies show better use of white space. Margins are still inconsistent, but this is the direc-tion of progress. Criticism so often includes merely the negative, and there is much positive comment that can be made about the '62 SPIRE. The introductory section is excellent. The impression is free and unconfined, photographs are large, and although copy is minimal, it is more than mere information. Maintaining this quality will be a challenge. Mr. Wheeler's poetry reflects the spirit of creativity that is found inconsistently, yet found, in the SPIRE. This, too, is the direc-tion of progress. "Bethel will ever be a mountain journey." perpetuating and enlarging itself. 3. Let us beware identifying the periphera with the essentials of our faith. If a mark of good leadership is the ability to hold fast to the essentials and to be flexible in the non-essentials, is not this likewise a mark of the maturing Christian? One barrier that tends to divide us as Christians is the ruling of what is peripheral and what is es-sential. For the Campbellite Chris-tian, immersion is essential; for the Quaker the baptism of the Spirit is enough. The expression of our faith, be it in words, music, or dance, is not to be identified with that faith, else we succumb to idolatry. Since words, being expressions of ex-perience, are constantly changing, let us beware of inflexibility of expression. To demand conformity with our particular expression of faith is to attempt to prevent the Spirit from "blowing whither it will. 4. Let us beware identifying our heritage of faith with our faith. "Faith of Our Fathers," let us remember, is their faith still. Only to the extent that we come to grips with applying the tenets of this heritage to our own life situation, solving the myriad problems besetting us on all sides, do we begin to make their faith ours. And, we can be certain, the ex-pression of this faith will change if for no other reason than we are changing and along with us, our problems. Was it Stephen Leacock who wrote in his autobiography at the turn of the century that in college he found himself in the dreadful position of throwing over his faith in favor of the new teachings of science? Remorse hung heavy on him for years until he realized that, in reality, he had not overthrown his own faith. It was the faith of his fathers, his spiritual mentors — but it had never truly become his own. Leaving our "bewares," how can we make this religion we have been taught our own? 1. By examining it. How do you know the Bible is God's Word? What do you mean Christ is God's Son? Who is to say God is not more than the evident har-mony of the universe? Is it not to say He is more than this to pro-ject our own selves into our God through anthropomorphism? Such questions concerning the faith bequeathed to us are not only proper, they are utterly necessary to the forging of a personal, vital faith. Every great faith, it has been said, has been hammered out on the hard anvil of doubt. The lives of Judson, Carey, and Livingstone are three of many that corroborate this. Only let us re-member in the examining that objectivity is, fortunately, impos-sible.

Student work displayed an ex-ploration with photographs, photo-grams, drawings, paintings in oil and watercolor, paper and card-board design, and woodcuts. The various techniques attempt-ed expressed a variety of empha-ses in the exploration of design and form. The emphasis of paper and cardboard design in value, color and texture in the seminary building is design consciousness. Line drawings showed more form consciousness than did the paintings. The water color wash-es and oil paintings showed de-sign consciousness at the ex-pense of form. Other of the oils, both the more objective and the abstract repre-sentations, showed an emphasis on color, in most instances suggesting senior material.

And certainly a thoughtful admoni-tion is this: A person cannot teach some-thing which he does not know . . . arithmetic cannot be taught unless the teacher knows arith-metic, and grammar cannot be taught unless the teacher knows grammar. The same remark is true for all subjects. As stated in the preface, the author's aim is to make the book "accurate, clear, and interesting." Statements such as the following are certainly interesting, though perhaps not too clear . . . In the main, the investigations of intellectual ability have shown that sex differences, when found, are not large. But no one can deny the author's clearness in the following quota-tion. It is cheaper to fail pupils than to promote them, because when a pupil is promoted, he enters a subject or a grade which is more expensive than the pre-ceding subject or grade; thus, secondary school education is more expensive than elementary school education, and the upper grades of the elementary school are more expensive than the lower grades of the elementary school. The real clincher statement of the whole book is this, carefully worded in the author's own inimi-table style: Although they are being con-stantly improved, there are still many mediocre and inferior text-books. The schools will continue to have many mediocre and in-ferior textbooks as long as school officials and teachers persist in using such books, especially when better ones are available.

How- Freshman Joins Summer Project To Help Indians "Project Awareness," a recrea-tion program sponsored by the NSA Minnesota - Dakotas region, this summer will involve Bethel freshman Dick Fredrickson. The program will be run from June 18 through August 5, 1962, with the first week being spent on the campus of the University of Minnesota for an orientation program. During this week, recreation leaders will demonstrate tech-niques; faculty members, gradu-ate students, Indian leaders and Indian students will meet with the participants in discussion groups; and the first stages of the program will be planned. Following this initial prepara-tion, the students will travel to either White Earth, Nett Lake or Grand Portage Indian reservations for the duration of the project. Five students will serve at each reservation, directing baseball, football and other athletics and leading children in nature study programs. Their duties will also include conducting various craft programs and teaching old Indian dances to the children. Each Indian village will pro-vide the housing, cooking and laundry facilities, although the students will be keeping house for themselves. Designed to make college stu-dents aware of the problems that face American Indians, the pro-gram also hopes to provide aven-ues for meeting those problems. After the summer phase of the program is ended, it is intended that the participating students will speak and distribute information throughout the state concerning Indian problems. A report will also be distributed nationally to inter-ested groups. Orientation and scholarship programs will be set up for In-dian students, and assistance will be given to Indians of the Twin Cities. The students will also en-courage legislative action bene-ficial to the Indians. The program has been endorsed by Governor Andersen's Indian Ac-tion committee and by the Chip-pewa Tribe Executive committee, which is raising funds for the pro-ject. ever, this does not exclude other fields; all qualified students will be considered. Bethel has previously received $15,5000 in loans. Since several students apply for the loans, they are on a competitive basis. Pay-ment is figured on a long-term basis with repayment after gradua-tion. Page 4 the CLARION Thursday, May 24, 1962 by Karen Nelson A First Course in Education by Ward G. Reeder, recently retired professor of Ohio State university, is the text used in the course In-troduction to Education. The author has, in his own words, "tried to avoid shallowness of treatment" while providing, as might be suspected by the title of the book, an orientation to edu-cation. How well he has succeeded is demonstrated by such a typically profound excerpt as: Many schools permit especially bright pupils to skip a certain grade. For example, if a pupil is unusually proficient in the work of the fifth grade, he is permit-ted to skip the sixth grade; that is, he is promoted at the end of the fifth grade to the seventh grade. Or this even more profound state-ment: If the pictures are hung on the walls, as they usually will be, they should be hung in the pro-per place. Another purpose of the book, as stated by the author, is "to help the student to start developing a defensible philosophy of educa- , tion." A really dramatic example of the author's efforts in this dir-ection can be found in a section on "The Curriculum and Social Trends:" Although he constantly needs reforming, it is axiomatic that "the devil can be more easily reformed when he is sick."

Peace and harmony are real possibilities, al-though our evangelical churches persist in making preachments to the contrary. The possibility of world annihila-tion still exists, but the desires for life and human well-being are growing along with our ability to maintain and develop them. Perhaps, instead of further irritating our enemies by hurl-ing insults at their ideologies and leaders, we can try using the method advocated by our Catholic president and our lib-eral representative to the UN — patience and an honest effort to understand the nations which op-pose us. Many of our number religiously deny India's right to American aid because a. Nehru may be soft on the Reds, b. Nehru drove the Por-tuguese out of Goa while he talked of peace, or c. the Communists might confiscate our loads of wheat and label them "gifts of the peo-ple of the Soviet Union." It would seem to me that life and personal well-being come be-fore ideology in Christ's hierarchy of values. We are not told to with-hold food and medical supplies un-til the needy see the Truth and repent. We are commanded to love with our entire beings and give.

Larpenteur foie by Paul Carlson Our church has made a most unbecoming impression on the world of politics, for evangelical Christians today are among those who are the most vehement nega-tivists in the political world. They are more anti-communist, anti-Catholic, anti-liberalist than Christ ever hoped, but as yet they certainly have not proven to be expert as killers of Communism, fighters of the Pope, or general suppressors of ideology. The weapon granted to us with the expectation that we would become responsible in its use was love. Christ did not caution us to use it judiciously, but taught that our goodness is mea-sured according to our willing-ness to display it.

Mr. McNamara will be work-ing on his M.A. degree in a pro-gram that will lead to a doctor-ate in religion. His ultimate goal is teaching on the college level. Marilyn Ben-son has been a-warded a fellow-ship for study in the school of her choice by the Tozer Foun-dation, Inc. of lK Stillwater, Min-nesota. She was one of six applicants in Minnesota to receive this fellowship of $1,000 for scholastic ability, leadership and character. Miss Benson plans to begin her study in September at the Univer-sity of Minnesota. After receiving her M.A. degree in English she plans to teach in college. Steve Peter-son will be do-ing his gradu-ate study at Ro-chester Divin-ity school in Rochester, New York. The school has a-warded him "one of the most coveted awards available to entering students," the Fayetteville scholarship. This assistance is available to a maxi-mum of $1,500 for the academic year and is renewable. This study at Rochester Divinity school is the first step in a doc-trinal program in Biblical theo-logy. Instruction on the college level is Mr. Peterson's goal also. Cal Mortensen will receive a University of In-diana graduate assistantship of $1,500. He chose the offer from Indiana over of-fers of assist-ance from the University of Soutn Dakota and Purdue university. This scholar-ship is renewable yearly. Mr. Mortensen will be work-ing for his M.A. degree with hopes of entering a doctoral program in the field of speech in preparation for teaching in college. His study will include teaching freshman speech cours-es and assisting in the forensic program. Paul Edwin Carlson will be at-tending the University of Minne-sota medical school. He has re-ceived the Clinton Clinic medical scholarship for $500. COEVAL SEEKS SALES COEVAL, Bethel's first liter-ary journal, is still on sale in the student center for 25c.

(302 Wilmac Building) Page 6 the CLARION by Bob Beckstrom With the exception of the Na: tional Association of Intercolleg-iate Athletics meet on June 1 and 2 in Sioux Falls, the 1962 Bethel track season is over. The final note was a resounding victory in the Badger-Gopher Invi-tational track meet on Saturday, May 19, at Alexander Ramsey high school. Bethel's 81% points were hardly challenged by Northland's 45%, Concordia's 39%, Pillsbury's 36, or Northwestern's (Wis.) 13. In terms of number of meets won, the season was fairly dis-appointing for the thinclads. Bethel won only one dual meet and one triangular meet besides Saturday's victory. The rest of the meets were sec-ond- place efforts, some close (St. Thomas 711/2, Bethel 67 1/2), others not so close (Winona State 105, Bethel 56). by Paul Wedeking Coach Halleen's baseball team ended their scheduled season last Saturday afternoon by winning a double header against Pillsbury. Bob Clouse pitched a shut-out in the first game, with thirteen Royals crossing home plate. Curt Hallstrom relieved John Holmberg in the second game and pitched run-less ball as Bethel edged by Pillsbury 4 to 3. The highlight of the day came at the bottom of the sixth inning in the first game when freshman Gene Brunzell bounced a double off the right field'fence and lat-er in the inning knocked the ball out of the park. Nine Royals scored during the inning to end the game with Pills-bury, who helped the cause by com-mitting two errors in the inning which ended up as two of the tal-lys in the Bethel run column. The other runs came in the second, third and fifth innings. Pillsbury tightened up in the second game and the visitors jump-ed to a one run lead in the second inning on numerous errors com-mitted by the Royals. Bethel bounc-ed back into the lead with a two-run double by pitcher John Holm-berg. Curt Hallstrom scored on a delayed double steal to give Bethel a 3 to 1 lead in the third inning. In the top of the fifth, Pillsbury tied the score on more untimely errors by the Royals. A boot by their shortstop put Thursday, May 24, 1962 In the NAIA regionals on May 14, Bethel placed fifth. This poor showing is justified, however, con-sidering that only seven men rep-resented Bethel, whereas other schools had up to two men entered in each event. The fact that Fred Purcell and Dan Travaille took first places in the 3 mile run and 220 and 440 yard dashes respectively, in-dicates a good showing with what Bethel had. Bruce E. Erickson's fourth place in the javelin throw and Dale Rogers' fifth in the 3 mile run may make it possible for them to accompany Purcell and Travaille to the nationals in Sioux Falls. The season must be considered a success in terms of number of school records broken. Of the 22 school track records, 13 have been broken this year and one has been equalled. Eight of the record-break- Bob Larson on first in the bottom of the fifth inning, and Don Mc- Kelvy blasted a long left field double which permitted Larson to score the winning run. Bethel's two wins over Pillsbury plus the 10-2 win over Concordia on the preceding Wednesday, gave Bethel an improved season's re-cord of 7 wins and 6 losses. FOOTBALL CAMP SET Coach Owen Halleen announces that football camp at Wood Lake, Wis., will begin on Monday, Sep-tember 3. All prospective players are invited to attend, and are re-quested to meet at school on Sun-day, September 2. The Royals captured second place in the Badger-Gopher Invi-tational tennis meet on Saturday. Northland, winning first and sec-ond place in the singles, took first, with Northwestern (Mpls.) and Pillsbury following Bethel. For the Royal netmen, Dick Lar-son and Steve Peterson played sin-gles. Larson won his first match but was eliminated in his final one. Peterson was not able to de-feat his first opponent. In the doubles event Eddie Carlson and Larry Petersen represented Bethel. ing performances took place in the last four meets. At Winona State on May 12, Jack Buss bettered his previous best in the shot put (41' 1/2") by heaving the weight 41'31/2". In another field event, the javelin throw, Bruce Erickson surpassed his own record mark of 134'8" by hurling the spear 146'. On the same day the 880 yard relay team turned in a 1:35.2, dumping their old record of 1:38. At St. Cloud on May 14 Dan Travaille's 51.4 in the 440 yard dash erased his old mark of 51.5. Two days later at Gustavus three records were rewritten: Bob Hart-zell's 27.4 (27.5) in the 220 yard low hurdles; Fred Purcell's 2:01.4 (2.03) in the half mile; and the mile relay team's 3:33.4 (3:34.6). The highlight of Saturday's invi-tational meet was a new pole vault record set by Myron Leafblad. His first place 10'5" vault erased a three-year-old record, and fitting-ly climaxed Myron's first year of pole vaulting. Bethel won other firsts in the shot put (Erickson), mile (Pur-cell), 440 (Hagfeldt), 100 (Tra-vaille), 880 (Purcell), 220 dash (Travaille), 220 low hurdles (Hartzell), discus (Erickson), 2 mile (Rogers), and sprint medley relay (Travaille, Erickson, Hag-feldt, Purcell). The slow track seemed to doom any attempts to break records, but the final race proved to be a rec-ord- equalling effort. The sprint medley relay team ran a 3:46.1 to tie last year's top mark. In reflecting on the 1962 track team, coach Gene Glader was able to comment, "I feel they've done real well, especially since the ma-jority of the team are freshmen." Like Larson, they won their first match but could not get the final victory. The performance was indica-tive of the team's season record of two wins, three losses. Bethel won its opener against River Falls, 5-4, but bowed to Concor-dia in the next match, 5-2. The loss to Concordia was re-paid as the Bethel netmen defeat-ed Concordia on the home courts, 4-3. The next two matches were losses to River Falls and Hamline, rounding out the record to 2-3. Coach Jerry Healy will have to start recruiting new men for next year's tennis team, since seniors Dick Larson, Steve Pet-erson, Larry Petersen, and John Peterson will be leaving. Sophomores Eddie Carlson and Don Wright should be returning next season. Together they provid-ed the highlight of the second Concordia game, winning the last doubles match and breaking a 3-3 tie. Arnold's Barber Shop Lexington Plaza Shopping Center IT PAYS TO LOOK GOOD STRANDQUIST TEXACO SERVICE Hamline and Hoyt Mi 6-9272 Brake and Mechanical Work Towing Service I Sidelines by Bob Beckstrom As I attend more meets, matches, and games in which Bethel athletes participate I become increasingly aware of one type of athlete: the guy who never wins. For every winner there is an inevitable loser, whether he is an opponent or teammate. Naturally a team has its top players and its second-rate players as well. It doesn't take the successful athlete many winning races, many triumphant ball games, many victorious matches to convince him that he can win. In each succeeding performance he not only competes to win for his team and school, but he is also motivated by a natural sense of pride. A victory is not an easily forgotten, unpleasant exper-ience. He who has already tasted victory has that added impetus to excell as well as the confidence that he will. But what about the habitual loser, the bench-warmer, the track man who enters every race knowing full well that there are those competing against him with greater stamina, greater speed, and more naturally endowed advantages, who perhaps has finished every race regretting he had ever started it, asking himself why he had even bothered to run it; the baseball player who takes the field during practice sincerely doubting that he will be asked to start; the tennis player who always holds the bottom rung on the ladder? How is it that this man reports to practice sessions with the same zeal as the more successful athlete? Why is he able to maintain a high level of spirit in the dressing room? Why does he still remain on the team, knowing that each time he runs his heart out in a race, or he plays his best on the field, it is a losing effort? Why? The answer to these questions touches the very foundations and purpose of athletics. In the first place, like everyone else, he enjoys athletics for the sake of athletics. He wants to be active. He wants to develop his body, his fitness, his co-ordination, his ability in a particular sport. This in itself is sufficient reason for participating in athletics, win or lose. We all manifest this same drive, whether in the bowling alley or at the ping pong table. We participate in sports for the sheer love of sports, and not for any personal edification in the eyes of others, or in other words, glory. Unlike a Saturday night bowling date, however, competitive sports require a person's best. The emphasis tends to shift from athletics for the sake of athletics to athletics for the sake of winning. Supreme ef-forts are exerted in order to win. And this is not bad. Competition unquestionably sharpens the athlete's abilities and in-creases his contributions. It emphasizes conditioning the body, master-ing the fundamentals, and developing the responses well. Of course some are able to do this better than others, and they are the ones who excell in the sport. They are winners. But there is also the athlete who gives his best but his best isn't quite enough. If athletics existed only for the sake of winning, then there would be nothing in them for him. But the fact is that such a man does not quit. He continues to play, even though he knows he may not win. He is able to accept himself as he is but not as a loser. He plays the sport because he loves the sport. He stays on the team because he is a part of the team. He gives his best and plays his heart out because he isn't a quitter. He con-tributes to the total team effort in whatever way he can, knowing that his effort may help the team win. He may fail, but he doesn't try to cover up with excuses. He sets a goal and strives for that goal, never losing sight of it. Win or lose, he knows he has given his best and that is all he was trying to do anyway. That's all he is expected to do. And anybody who does that, whether he places first or last, whether he makes errors or not, whether he plays well or poorly, that man is never a loser. He is an athlete in every sense of the word, and it is him I have come to admire.

Transcript | (Photo by Franks) Reminiscing on their four years at Bethel college are two members of the senior class of 1962 as they prepare to participate in the com-mencement activities of this week end. Nine New Instructors Join Bethel's Faculty Seven new full-time faculty members and two part-time in-structors will join the Bethel com-munity in September. Mr. Oliver Mogch, voice; Mr. Roy W. Butler, philosophy; and Mr. Dale Rott, speech, will join the faculty full-time. Dr. James John-son, history; Dr. Ivan Fahs, soci-ology; Mr. Frank Eshelman, phy-sical science; and Dr. J. Runbeck, education, had been previously an-nounced. Mr. Mogch, professor of voice, received his Bachelors degree from Morningside college in Iowa, and his Masters degree from the University of Minne-sota. He taught music in public schools and also taught at Colorado A and M college, but moved to North-western college in 1948, where he has been ever since. He is choir director at Lake Harriet Baptist church in Minneapolis. Mr. Roy W. Butler will join the philosophy department next year. He did undergraduate work at Gordon college, received his Mas-ters degree from Boston university and the University of New Hamp-shire. He will receive his Doctor of Philosophy from Boston univer-sity this spring. Mr. Butler has been teaching at Muskingun college, Ohio, for the past four years, and previous to this he taught at the Univer-sity of Connecticut and Brian university. Mr. Butler's doctoral work centered around the phil-osophy of religious language. The speech department's new instructor is Mr. Dale Rott. Mr. Rott did his undergraduate work at Augustana college, and receiv-ed his Masters degree in speech from the University of Redlands and his Masters degree in fine arts in religious drama from Bos-ton university. He has taught in public schools and at the Univer-sity of Redlands and Gordon col-lege. Joining the faculty as part-time instructors will be Mr. Rolland Hein, English, and Mr. Eliot Don-nels, psychology. Mr. Hein received his Bag"ac<. lors degree from Wheaton and his Masters degree from Purdue. He taught two years at Grace college in Indiana. Mr. Donnels received his B.A. from Louisiana college and his Masters degree from Southern Methodist university. He has been teaching at Ouachiata Baptist col-lege in Arkansas. Both Mr. Hein and Mr. Donnels are working for Doctor degrees at the University of Minnesota. Next year Dr. Paul Finlay will become director of admissions, but will continue to teach one or two sequences of courses in religious education. Reverend S. Bruce Fleming, alumnus of Bethel academy, junior college, and theological seminary and pastor of Salem Baptist church of Chicago will deliver the bac-calaureate message Sunday, May 27, at 11 a.m. to graduates and their friends. The theme of the address is "The World and They That Dwell Therein." After serving pastorates in Wentworth, Wisconsin; Duluth, Minnesota; Kiron, Iowa; and Stanchfield, Minnesota, Reverend Fleming was called in 1952 to the Salem (then Emerald Avenue) Bap-. tist church of Chicago. Under his leadership, membership has doub-led and giving more than tripled. The Salem congregation is fifth largest in the Baptist general con-ference. Ninety-four baccalaureate degrees will be conferred by the board of education at the annual commence-ment exercises of Bethel college and seminary on Sunday afternoon, May 27 at 3 p.m. Gordon G. Johnson, associate professor of homiletics, will pre-sent a Scriptural call to dedication after which Paul R. Finlay, assoc-iate professor of religious educa-tion, will give the invocation. The male chorus, under the direction of C. Howard Smith, Several changes in dormitory ac-comodations and counselling pro-grams have recently been announc-ed by the student affairs office to facilitate the anticipated increase in college enrollment. Dorm counselors for next year have been notified by the student affairs office. Selections were made by a committee from the student affairs office, the house mothers, and the administration. The number of counselors is increasing by two next year, giv-ing a total of six male and seven femaie ‘ounselors: Boqien will have four counselors and Hag-strom will have three. Those chosen are Nancy Gustaf-son, Lyla Nystrom, Pat Foty, Gladys Holmberg, Carolyn Helget, Mary Ann Peterson, Anita Bennett, John Holmberg, Darrell Johnson, Lee Bajuniemi, Bryce Krohn, David Cox and Irving Stauffer. This year, nearly fifty applica-tions were made for positions, the largest number ever received by the student affairs office. Accord-ing to Mr. Eugene Sprinkel, as-sistant dean of students, selections were made on the basis of personal maturity, interest and insight in working with people, and service to the campus. The processional, "Trumpet Tune in D Minor" will be played by Ro-bert Carlson, seminary class of 1962. President Carl H. Lundquist will lead the call to worship, and Clar-ence Bass, Ph.D. and associate pro-fessor of theology will lead invo-cation. Scripture will be read by Roy Dalton, Ph.D. and associate professor of history. Bethel's college choir will pre-sent two selections under the direc-tion of Robert Berglund preceding the address. The benediction will be led by Charles W. Ferguson, director of development. It is anticipated that approxi-mately one thousand people will be present at the service. Among those attending will be relatives and friends of graduating seniors, who are visiting the campus for the commencement week-end. will provide music during the program, and the college band will perform the prelude, the processional, and the recessional. Dr. Josef Nordenhaug, general secretary of the Baptist World al-liance, will deliver the commence-ment address, "The Way Forward." Nordenhaug, a native of Norway, completed his theological studies at the Southern Baptist theological seminary and has served pastorates in Oslo as well as in the United States. Each floor of the dorms will have a residence counselor. These people will work closely with the house mothers in help-ing students to adjust to campus life, answering questions, and directing students to the proper authorities for help academical-ly, if needed. All single women students will be housed on campus next year due to the complete conversion of Hagstrom residence from a mar-ried couples' to a women's dorm. The first and second floors of the building, presently housing married couples, will be remodel-ed to accommodate single women as the third floor now does. The basement of the dorm will be converted into a large recrea-tion and lounge area to provide recreation facilities for girls. The first floor will also have a lounge area. All new furnishings will be provided in the remodel-ing project. Applications for housing next year are available in the student affairs office and should be made as soon as possible. Moberg's Book Selected To Be Book-of-Month "The Church and the Older Per-son," by Dr. David Moberg and Dr. Robert Gray, has been chosen as the August selection of the Pastoral Psychology Book club. Dr. Moberg is chairman of the Social Science department at Bethel and Dr. Gray serves as professor of Sociology at the Uni-versity of Utah. In the book the authors present the known facts about aging and the religious behavior and exper-iences of an older person. Dr. Moberg is also author of "The Church as a Social Institu-tion" soon to be published. ACP RATES CLARION The CLARION was awarded first class honor rating in the sixty-sixth all-American news-paper critical service of the As-sociate Collegiate Press at the University of Minnesota school of journalism April 20, 1962. Papers from first semester 1961-1962 were submitted for judging by editor Sharon Dickau. In 1950 the Foreign Mission board of the Southern Baptist convention elected Dr. Norden-haug president of the Baptist theological seminary in Rusch-likon, Switzerland. As the European representative of the Southern Baptist convention foreign mission board in matters of relief and rehabilitation from 1954 to 1958, Dr. Nordenhaug was instrumental in bringing extensive aid for construction of chapels, youth camps, and theological schools throughout Europe. During the days after the Hun-garian uprising in 1956 he served as chairman of the Baptist Relief committee for Hungary, a sub-committee of the Baptist World alliance relief committee. The presentation of classes will be made by Clifford E. Lar-son, dean of the college and Ed-win J. Omark, dean of the sem-inary. President Carl H. Lundquist will confer degrees and present diplo-mas. H. Wyman Malmsten, assist-ant to the president, will give the benediction. Serving as marshals are Annette Larson and Paul R. Johnson, honor students from the college junior class, and Paul D. Evan and Ken-neth E. Gowdy, honor students h oist the seminary middler class. Choirs, Band To Perform Joint Concert Music ranging from Negro spir-ituals to great choral classics will highlight the fifth annual Com-mencement music festival Friday, May 25, at 8 p.m. in the field-house. This student-centered program features the festival choir, college choir, male chorus, women's choir and band. A brass choir will accompany the festival choir on "Psalm 150" by Franck, and the college band will join the festival choir for Grieg's "Landsighting." Music will range from such sac-red classics as "How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place" by Brahms, to more contemporary music as "E'en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come" by Paul Manz, professor at Concordia college. Soloists for the concert will be two of this year's graduates. Janet Carroll will be performing on the piano and Roberta Yaxley on the organ. As another special feature of the evening, the second selection from each vocal group will be directed by its assistant. The college choir is directed by Mr. Robert Berglund with Bruce Leafblad, another 1962 graduate, as assistant. Ed Anthony is the assistant for the male chorus, under the direc-tion of Mr. C. Howard Smith. Mr. Robert Peterson, in charge of wo-men's choir, is assisted by Nancy Gustafson. Money collected in the free-will offering will be applied to the col-lege scholarship fund, one half for general scholarships and the other half for music scholarships. the CLARION Volume XXXVIII—No. 15 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, May 24, 1962 Nordenhaug To Present Commencement Address Alumnus Bruce Fleming To Speak at Baccalaureate College Office Announces Counselors, Dorm Plans Freedom is a complex and difficult term whose varied interpretations have found many different expressions in our society. As such, it is a concept which those in the liberal arts environment have been forced continually to re-examine. And through these analyses one discovers that in an institution of Christian higher education the role of freedom assumes increased dimensions. In his Report of the President: 1960-61, Dr. Lundquist has presented an interesting exegesis on the application of these principles to the total college life. In describing the situation at Bethel, the president states: "We try not to impose rigid limitations of arbitrary rules upon the majority in order to control the few . . . actually life is carried on at Bethel much as in well-ordered homes in which positive guidance is given but final deci-sions are up to the individual .. . "We seek to emphasize the inner spirit more than the outward law and hope to help each student develop a sense of responsibility that will make freedom move in constructive and dynamic channels." Within this framework of thought, it is extremely diffi-cult to find justification for the action of the music depart-ment earlier in this academic year. At that time it was an-nounced that in order to gain entrance to a choral group, a student would be required to sign a statement pledging that he would participate m certain events, ascribe to certain prac-tices, and also re-affirm his Christianity. Even a cursory perusal of the above quotations would appear to demand an evaluation of the use of such a docu-ment. Although adherence to individual items of this pledge may be questioned separately, the statement by itselt seems to stand in contradiction to the principles of the school. One of the "selling points" of the college is its stress on the personal freedom enjoyed by its student body. Page 18 of the present college catalogue states, "Registration in the school is considered to be an acceptance of such standards, rules and regulations as the administration, or faculty con-sider needful in realizing the school's objectives." Why such a position is seemingly refuted by the music department is puzzling. In addition, the establishment of a music pledge appears to contradict another statement in the catalogue that "the- college attempts to provide an intellectual, social and spiritual community in which individuals . . . are encouraged to assume responsibility intelligently." This responsibility is supposedly dictated by a con-scious effort to relate the Christian experience to all phases of life, and it can be quite generally conceded that the Christian student possesses a tairly adequate sense of responsibility and loyalty. Thus, when this manifestation is disturbed, as the music faculty evidently believes is the case, perhaps the fault is to be found within the program itself rather than within the student. Perhaps too much is being demanded of the indi-vidual for the actual credit remuneration and personal grati-fication he is receiving. If a student fully understands and agrees with the de-mands which will be made upon him, there should be no reason he could not join a group without the demoralizing experience of "promising" to do that to which he already as-sented. The student who would not support a verbal affirma-tion of his responsibilities would most likely also fail to esteem a signed statement. Therefore, as the music department deliberates on the continued use of such a statement, it should also consider the relationship of this code to both our established college prin-ciples and to the maturity and responsibility developed through our faith.

SPIRE Fulfills Stated Aim, Shows Progress, Creativity Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, May 24, Department Requirement Limits Personal Freedom 1962 Curtis Encourages Examination, Discussion, Practice of Religion Dear Editor: Dr. Mounce deserves a vote of thanks for the thoughtfully work-ed- out chapel service of May 16. Scripture, comments, and a hymn oriented around one well-consider-ed idea made the experience a very meaningful one to me. My only regret is that it may not happen again. Admittedly, al-lowance should be made for oc-casional (perhaps weekly), longer convocations or sermons. But why cannot last Wednesday provide the norm for the future usual chapel? Students could enter chapel anticipating an opportunity for a genuine worship experience. The fifteen or twenty minute service would permit both intro-spection and personal confron-tation with the uncluttered real-ity of the written and living Word of God. Such a chapel could leave the seeker-after-God with not only a religious experience, but also with one relevant, and, hopefully, en-riching, insight. Certainly, such an exper-ience on the individual level must always be the prime basis of our Christian lives. But I still believe, if sometimes wistful-ly, that the same consistent sort of possibilities could exist for com-munity worship. Such a plan would not need to depend upon outside speakers and indeed might function best to rely primarily upon members of the Bethel community, con-ceivably even students occasion-ally. Though shorter chapels might be considered to "rob God of His time," God has always appeared to me to value quality over quantity. And if more can be achieved through concise, unified, thought-ful, but shorter, services than through longer, and perhaps dilut-ed or more jumbled and less pur-poseful ones, then we should choose the first alternative. Annette Larson by Dr. R. K. Curtis When asked under normal con-ditions to assess the spiritual tem-perature of the campus, I have more than a few hesitations. But when asked to do so with an early deadline, my hesitations alone are enough to petrify me. So it seems to me the best way to start is by listing a string of bewares. 1. We ought to beware divorc-ing "academic and spiritual." There is no more justification for this than for divorcing any segment or activity in life from the spiritual, be it worship, driv-ing, sleeping, or rook. Indeed, a case might be made for demanding a closer correlation between the academic and spirit-ual, since some students and fac-ulty feel the primary job of Bethel is education. I have known some faculty mem-bers uncharitable enough to take a dim view of the student who by Marilyn Benson "To mirror campus life of the past year." How does the 1962 SPIRE, the yearbook of the college and seminary, attempt to fulfill its expressed purpose? Life is divided into the usual five sections, where each aspect of college life—academic, religious, cultural, social, athletic—is reflect-ed by pictures and words. Each is introduced by well-chosen literary quotations, and in general, they do reflect a balanced cross-section of Bethel life. The academic—The thirty-five pages of class pictures are de-lightfully interrupted by candid shots, but wading through the copy almost reminds one of a college catalog. Perhaps such in-clusion of information is valid for public relations' purposes. The religious — Chapel, special weeks, study groups. These are the organized aspects of our religious life, portrayed by that re-occurring white lecturn. Where does one find the inward essence of relig-ion? The quiet dusk of the semin-ary chapel touches this aloneness of the individual with God. The cultural—The inconsistency of margins is evident here as in the entire book. The bright spot is the Festival of Christmas, a bal-anced combination of both content and style. presents a magnificent devotional at the beginning of class, but at the expense of passing in the day's assignment. 2. We ought to beware identi-fying "spiritual" with any par-ticular bias or list of do's and don't's. The tenacity or fervor with which we hold to our con-victions unfortunately speaks little for their truthfulness. Were it so, we would be naming our children for the Inquisitors. If we must delineate do's and don't's, let us be sure they are most iron-clad for ourselves and most flexible for others. There are dif-ferences between testimonies, con-fessions, statements of faith, and creeds. To take a testimony, delivered in the spontaneity and sunlight of a vigorous faith, and make it a brittle creed, binding in letter as well as in spirit so that heretics may be weeded out, takes little more than an institution bent on 13311M1 The athletic—Too much copy, too few captions and too small photographs are the initial im-pressions. The challenge and discipline of athletics can be bet-ter reflected in one photograph of intensity than by the inter-preted statistics of every game. The social—Only three pages of royalty this year! Here a wide range of activities are adequately represented, but quality of photo-graphs is sacrificed too easily for quantity. The two double-page spreads of campus social life and stunts, steadies, studies show better use of white space. Margins are still inconsistent, but this is the direc-tion of progress. Criticism so often includes merely the negative, and there is much positive comment that can be made about the '62 SPIRE. The introductory section is excellent. The impression is free and unconfined, photographs are large, and although copy is minimal, it is more than mere information. Maintaining this quality will be a challenge. Mr. Wheeler's poetry reflects the spirit of creativity that is found inconsistently, yet found, in the SPIRE. This, too, is the direc-tion of progress. "Bethel will ever be a mountain journey." perpetuating and enlarging itself. 3. Let us beware identifying the periphera with the essentials of our faith. If a mark of good leadership is the ability to hold fast to the essentials and to be flexible in the non-essentials, is not this likewise a mark of the maturing Christian? One barrier that tends to divide us as Christians is the ruling of what is peripheral and what is es-sential. For the Campbellite Chris-tian, immersion is essential; for the Quaker the baptism of the Spirit is enough. The expression of our faith, be it in words, music, or dance, is not to be identified with that faith, else we succumb to idolatry. Since words, being expressions of ex-perience, are constantly changing, let us beware of inflexibility of expression. To demand conformity with our particular expression of faith is to attempt to prevent the Spirit from "blowing whither it will. 4. Let us beware identifying our heritage of faith with our faith. "Faith of Our Fathers," let us remember, is their faith still. Only to the extent that we come to grips with applying the tenets of this heritage to our own life situation, solving the myriad problems besetting us on all sides, do we begin to make their faith ours. And, we can be certain, the ex-pression of this faith will change if for no other reason than we are changing and along with us, our problems. Was it Stephen Leacock who wrote in his autobiography at the turn of the century that in college he found himself in the dreadful position of throwing over his faith in favor of the new teachings of science? Remorse hung heavy on him for years until he realized that, in reality, he had not overthrown his own faith. It was the faith of his fathers, his spiritual mentors — but it had never truly become his own. Leaving our "bewares," how can we make this religion we have been taught our own? 1. By examining it. How do you know the Bible is God's Word? What do you mean Christ is God's Son? Who is to say God is not more than the evident har-mony of the universe? Is it not to say He is more than this to pro-ject our own selves into our God through anthropomorphism? Such questions concerning the faith bequeathed to us are not only proper, they are utterly necessary to the forging of a personal, vital faith. Every great faith, it has been said, has been hammered out on the hard anvil of doubt. The lives of Judson, Carey, and Livingstone are three of many that corroborate this. Only let us re-member in the examining that objectivity is, fortunately, impos-sible.

Student work displayed an ex-ploration with photographs, photo-grams, drawings, paintings in oil and watercolor, paper and card-board design, and woodcuts. The various techniques attempt-ed expressed a variety of empha-ses in the exploration of design and form. The emphasis of paper and cardboard design in value, color and texture in the seminary building is design consciousness. Line drawings showed more form consciousness than did the paintings. The water color wash-es and oil paintings showed de-sign consciousness at the ex-pense of form. Other of the oils, both the more objective and the abstract repre-sentations, showed an emphasis on color, in most instances suggesting senior material. The art department has made much progress this year, and now a self-sufficient department with good facilities.

And certainly a thoughtful admoni-tion is this: A person cannot teach some-thing which he does not know . . . arithmetic cannot be taught unless the teacher knows arith-metic, and grammar cannot be taught unless the teacher knows grammar. The same remark is true for all subjects. As stated in the preface, the author's aim is to make the book "accurate, clear, and interesting." Statements such as the following are certainly interesting, though perhaps not too clear . . . In the main, the investigations of intellectual ability have shown that sex differences, when found, are not large. But no one can deny the author's clearness in the following quota-tion. It is cheaper to fail pupils than to promote them, because when a pupil is promoted, he enters a subject or a grade which is more expensive than the pre-ceding subject or grade; thus, secondary school education is more expensive than elementary school education, and the upper grades of the elementary school are more expensive than the lower grades of the elementary school. The real clincher statement of the whole book is this, carefully worded in the author's own inimi-table style: Although they are being con-stantly improved, there are still many mediocre and inferior text-books. The schools will continue to have many mediocre and in-ferior textbooks as long as school officials and teachers persist in using such books, especially when better ones are available. Laurels are due not only the au-thor for this excellent text, but also the whole wonderful Ameri-can education system for the qual-ity of its educational tools. One can only hope that the profundity of the textbook has not exceeded the capacity of aspiring education students.

How- Freshman Joins Summer Project To Help Indians "Project Awareness," a recrea-tion program sponsored by the NSA Minnesota - Dakotas region, this summer will involve Bethel freshman Dick Fredrickson. The program will be run from June 18 through August 5, 1962, with the first week being spent on the campus of the University of Minnesota for an orientation program. During this week, recreation leaders will demonstrate tech-niques; faculty members, gradu-ate students, Indian leaders and Indian students will meet with the participants in discussion groups; and the first stages of the program will be planned. Following this initial prepara-tion, the students will travel to either White Earth, Nett Lake or Grand Portage Indian reservations for the duration of the project. Five students will serve at each reservation, directing baseball, football and other athletics and leading children in nature study programs. Their duties will also include conducting various craft programs and teaching old Indian dances to the children. Each Indian village will pro-vide the housing, cooking and laundry facilities, although the students will be keeping house for themselves. Designed to make college stu-dents aware of the problems that face American Indians, the pro-gram also hopes to provide aven-ues for meeting those problems. After the summer phase of the program is ended, it is intended that the participating students will speak and distribute information throughout the state concerning Indian problems. A report will also be distributed nationally to inter-ested groups. Orientation and scholarship programs will be set up for In-dian students, and assistance will be given to Indians of the Twin Cities. The students will also en-courage legislative action bene-ficial to the Indians. The program has been endorsed by Governor Andersen's Indian Ac-tion committee and by the Chip-pewa Tribe Executive committee, which is raising funds for the pro-ject. ever, this does not exclude other fields; all qualified students will be considered. Bethel has previously received $15,5000 in loans. Since several students apply for the loans, they are on a competitive basis. Pay-ment is figured on a long-term basis with repayment after gradua-tion. Page 4 the CLARION Thursday, May 24, 1962 by Karen Nelson A First Course in Education by Ward G. Reeder, recently retired professor of Ohio State university, is the text used in the course In-troduction to Education. The author has, in his own words, "tried to avoid shallowness of treatment" while providing, as might be suspected by the title of the book, an orientation to edu-cation. How well he has succeeded is demonstrated by such a typically profound excerpt as: Many schools permit especially bright pupils to skip a certain grade. For example, if a pupil is unusually proficient in the work of the fifth grade, he is permit-ted to skip the sixth grade; that is, he is promoted at the end of the fifth grade to the seventh grade. Or this even more profound state-ment: If the pictures are hung on the walls, as they usually will be, they should be hung in the pro-per place. Another purpose of the book, as stated by the author, is "to help the student to start developing a defensible philosophy of educa- , tion." A really dramatic example of the author's efforts in this dir-ection can be found in a section on "The Curriculum and Social Trends:" Although he constantly needs reforming, it is axiomatic that "the devil can be more easily reformed when he is sick."

Peace and harmony are real possibilities, al-though our evangelical churches persist in making preachments to the contrary. The possibility of world annihila-tion still exists, but the desires for life and human well-being are growing along with our ability to maintain and develop them. Perhaps, instead of further irritating our enemies by hurl-ing insults at their ideologies and leaders, we can try using the method advocated by our Catholic president and our lib-eral representative to the UN — patience and an honest effort to understand the nations which op-pose us. Many of our number religiously deny India's right to American aid because a. Nehru may be soft on the Reds, b. Nehru drove the Por-tuguese out of Goa while he talked of peace, or c. the Communists might confiscate our loads of wheat and label them "gifts of the peo-ple of the Soviet Union." It would seem to me that life and personal well-being come be-fore ideology in Christ's hierarchy of values. We are not told to with-hold food and medical supplies un-til the needy see the Truth and repent. We are commanded to love with our entire beings and give.

Larpenteur foie by Paul Carlson Our church has made a most unbecoming impression on the world of politics, for evangelical Christians today are among those who are the most vehement nega-tivists in the political world. They are more anti-communist, anti-Catholic, anti-liberalist than Christ ever hoped, but as yet they certainly have not proven to be expert as killers of Communism, fighters of the Pope, or general suppressors of ideology. The weapon granted to us with the expectation that we would become responsible in its use was love. Christ did not caution us to use it judiciously, but taught that our goodness is mea-sured according to our willing-ness to display it.

(302 Wilmac Building) Page 6 the CLARION by Bob Beckstrom With the exception of the Na: tional Association of Intercolleg-iate Athletics meet on June 1 and 2 in Sioux Falls, the 1962 Bethel track season is over. The final note was a resounding victory in the Badger-Gopher Invi-tational track meet on Saturday, May 19, at Alexander Ramsey high school. Bethel's 81% points were hardly challenged by Northland's 45%, Concordia's 39%, Pillsbury's 36, or Northwestern's (Wis.) 13. In terms of number of meets won, the season was fairly dis-appointing for the thinclads. Bethel won only one dual meet and one triangular meet besides Saturday's victory. The rest of the meets were sec-ond- place efforts, some close (St. Thomas 711/2, Bethel 67 1/2), others not so close (Winona State 105, Bethel 56). by Paul Wedeking Coach Halleen's baseball team ended their scheduled season last Saturday afternoon by winning a double header against Pillsbury. Bob Clouse pitched a shut-out in the first game, with thirteen Royals crossing home plate. Curt Hallstrom relieved John Holmberg in the second game and pitched run-less ball as Bethel edged by Pillsbury 4 to 3. The highlight of the day came at the bottom of the sixth inning in the first game when freshman Gene Brunzell bounced a double off the right field'fence and lat-er in the inning knocked the ball out of the park. Nine Royals scored during the inning to end the game with Pills-bury, who helped the cause by com-mitting two errors in the inning which ended up as two of the tal-lys in the Bethel run column. The other runs came in the second, third and fifth innings. Pillsbury tightened up in the second game and the visitors jump-ed to a one run lead in the second inning on numerous errors com-mitted by the Royals. Bethel bounc-ed back into the lead with a two-run double by pitcher John Holm-berg. Curt Hallstrom scored on a delayed double steal to give Bethel a 3 to 1 lead in the third inning. In the top of the fifth, Pillsbury tied the score on more untimely errors by the Royals. A boot by their shortstop put Thursday, May 24, 1962 In the NAIA regionals on May 14, Bethel placed fifth. This poor showing is justified, however, con-sidering that only seven men rep-resented Bethel, whereas other schools had up to two men entered in each event. The fact that Fred Purcell and Dan Travaille took first places in the 3 mile run and 220 and 440 yard dashes respectively, in-dicates a good showing with what Bethel had. Bruce E. Erickson's fourth place in the javelin throw and Dale Rogers' fifth in the 3 mile run may make it possible for them to accompany Purcell and Travaille to the nationals in Sioux Falls. The season must be considered a success in terms of number of school records broken. Of the 22 school track records, 13 have been broken this year and one has been equalled. Eight of the record-break- Bob Larson on first in the bottom of the fifth inning, and Don Mc- Kelvy blasted a long left field double which permitted Larson to score the winning run. Bethel's two wins over Pillsbury plus the 10-2 win over Concordia on the preceding Wednesday, gave Bethel an improved season's re-cord of 7 wins and 6 losses. FOOTBALL CAMP SET Coach Owen Halleen announces that football camp at Wood Lake, Wis., will begin on Monday, Sep-tember 3. All prospective players are invited to attend, and are re-quested to meet at school on Sun-day, September 2. The Royals captured second place in the Badger-Gopher Invi-tational tennis meet on Saturday. Northland, winning first and sec-ond place in the singles, took first, with Northwestern (Mpls.) and Pillsbury following Bethel. For the Royal netmen, Dick Lar-son and Steve Peterson played sin-gles. Larson won his first match but was eliminated in his final one. Peterson was not able to de-feat his first opponent. In the doubles event Eddie Carlson and Larry Petersen represented Bethel. ing performances took place in the last four meets. At Winona State on May 12, Jack Buss bettered his previous best in the shot put (41' 1/2") by heaving the weight 41'31/2". In another field event, the javelin throw, Bruce Erickson surpassed his own record mark of 134'8" by hurling the spear 146'. On the same day the 880 yard relay team turned in a 1:35.2, dumping their old record of 1:38. At St. Cloud on May 14 Dan Travaille's 51.4 in the 440 yard dash erased his old mark of 51.5. Two days later at Gustavus three records were rewritten: Bob Hart-zell's 27.4 (27.5) in the 220 yard low hurdles; Fred Purcell's 2:01.4 (2.03) in the half mile; and the mile relay team's 3:33.4 (3:34.6). The highlight of Saturday's invi-tational meet was a new pole vault record set by Myron Leafblad. His first place 10'5" vault erased a three-year-old record, and fitting-ly climaxed Myron's first year of pole vaulting. Bethel won other firsts in the shot put (Erickson), mile (Pur-cell), 440 (Hagfeldt), 100 (Tra-vaille), 880 (Purcell), 220 dash (Travaille), 220 low hurdles (Hartzell), discus (Erickson), 2 mile (Rogers), and sprint medley relay (Travaille, Erickson, Hag-feldt, Purcell). The slow track seemed to doom any attempts to break records, but the final race proved to be a rec-ord- equalling effort. The sprint medley relay team ran a 3:46.1 to tie last year's top mark. In reflecting on the 1962 track team, coach Gene Glader was able to comment, "I feel they've done real well, especially since the ma-jority of the team are freshmen." Like Larson, they won their first match but could not get the final victory. The performance was indica-tive of the team's season record of two wins, three losses. Bethel won its opener against River Falls, 5-4, but bowed to Concor-dia in the next match, 5-2. The loss to Concordia was re-paid as the Bethel netmen defeat-ed Concordia on the home courts, 4-3. The next two matches were losses to River Falls and Hamline, rounding out the record to 2-3. Coach Jerry Healy will have to start recruiting new men for next year's tennis team, since seniors Dick Larson, Steve Pet-erson, Larry Petersen, and John Peterson will be leaving. Sophomores Eddie Carlson and Don Wright should be returning next season. Together they provid-ed the highlight of the second Concordia game, winning the last doubles match and breaking a 3-3 tie. Arnold's Barber Shop Lexington Plaza Shopping Center IT PAYS TO LOOK GOOD STRANDQUIST TEXACO SERVICE Hamline and Hoyt Mi 6-9272 Brake and Mechanical Work Towing Service I Sidelines by Bob Beckstrom As I attend more meets, matches, and games in which Bethel athletes participate I become increasingly aware of one type of athlete: the guy who never wins. For every winner there is an inevitable loser, whether he is an opponent or teammate. Naturally a team has its top players and its second-rate players as well. It doesn't take the successful athlete many winning races, many triumphant ball games, many victorious matches to convince him that he can win. In each succeeding performance he not only competes to win for his team and school, but he is also motivated by a natural sense of pride. A victory is not an easily forgotten, unpleasant exper-ience. He who has already tasted victory has that added impetus to excell as well as the confidence that he will. But what about the habitual loser, the bench-warmer, the track man who enters every race knowing full well that there are those competing against him with greater stamina, greater speed, and more naturally endowed advantages, who perhaps has finished every race regretting he had ever started it, asking himself why he had even bothered to run it; the baseball player who takes the field during practice sincerely doubting that he will be asked to start; the tennis player who always holds the bottom rung on the ladder? How is it that this man reports to practice sessions with the same zeal as the more successful athlete? Why is he able to maintain a high level of spirit in the dressing room? Why does he still remain on the team, knowing that each time he runs his heart out in a race, or he plays his best on the field, it is a losing effort? Why? The answer to these questions touches the very foundations and purpose of athletics. In the first place, like everyone else, he enjoys athletics for the sake of athletics. He wants to be active. He wants to develop his body, his fitness, his co-ordination, his ability in a particular sport. This in itself is sufficient reason for participating in athletics, win or lose. We all manifest this same drive, whether in the bowling alley or at the ping pong table. We participate in sports for the sheer love of sports, and not for any personal edification in the eyes of others, or in other words, glory. Unlike a Saturday night bowling date, however, competitive sports require a person's best. The emphasis tends to shift from athletics for the sake of athletics to athletics for the sake of winning. Supreme ef-forts are exerted in order to win. And this is not bad. Competition unquestionably sharpens the athlete's abilities and in-creases his contributions. It emphasizes conditioning the body, master-ing the fundamentals, and developing the responses well. Of course some are able to do this better than others, and they are the ones who excell in the sport. They are winners. But there is also the athlete who gives his best but his best isn't quite enough. If athletics existed only for the sake of winning, then there would be nothing in them for him. But the fact is that such a man does not quit. He continues to play, even though he knows he may not win. He is able to accept himself as he is but not as a loser. He plays the sport because he loves the sport. He stays on the team because he is a part of the team. He gives his best and plays his heart out because he isn't a quitter. He con-tributes to the total team effort in whatever way he can, knowing that his effort may help the team win. He may fail, but he doesn't try to cover up with excuses. He sets a goal and strives for that goal, never losing sight of it. Win or lose, he knows he has given his best and that is all he was trying to do anyway. That's all he is expected to do. And anybody who does that, whether he places first or last, whether he makes errors or not, whether he plays well or poorly, that man is never a loser. He is an athlete in every sense of the word, and it is him I have come to admire.
