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.

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.

To Speak at Baccalaureate
College Office Announces

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.

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.

sympathetic search, remembering

The various techniques attempt-ed

in the exploration of design

and cardboard design in value,
color and texture in the seminary
building is design consciousness.
Line drawings showed more
form consciousness than did the

Critic Finds Text
Dramatic, Intere
To Be 'Profound,
sting, Excellent'
the devil, although he is bad, is
always worth reforming.
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.

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.

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." And

points, that this ideal be applied
to international affairs. 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.

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.
It is imperative, from both the

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.

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.

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.
