The art department is employing
additional teachers to assume the
responsibilities of professor Eu-gene
Johnson who has been re-leased
from teaching to assume
the chairmanship of the long-range
planning committee working with
the architect in designing the new
campus.
Curriculum alterations in four
departments and the addition of
faculty members in two depart-ments
comprise second semester
academic changes.
Students enrolled in the advanc-ed
standing Freshman English
103A at the beginning of second
semester may elect either to en-roll
in one of the regular sections
of Freshman English 104 or take
a comprehensive examination cov-ering
the major forms of literature
and receive advanced placement.
Those who take the test and
receive a grade "A" earn three
semester credits for Freshman
English and may enroll in World
Literature 152.
Students receiving a grade "B"
are exempt from taking Freshman
English 104, but without credit,
and may take World Literature 152
as substitute credit for Freshman
English 104. Students who receive
Placement testing for Peace
Corps positions will be administer-ed
Jan. 26 at the Minneapolis post
office room 450 at 8:30 a.m. This
test serves as an initial screening
device, given on a non-competitive
basis, to determine individual abili-ties.
General areas covered in the
exam include general aptitude,
reasoning ability, problem solving
and language.
During 1963 the Peace Corps
will call 2,500 volunteers. Anyone
over 18 years of age is eligible for
this organization, although empha-sis
is on the college graduate.

non-math majors. The purpose of
the course is to provide a general
understanding of math and may
be used to satisfy the one semester
requirement of a physical science.
Social Psychology will be re-introduced
into the curriculum
second semester. Dr. Ivan Fahs
will be teaching this course deal-ing
with the relationships exist-ing
between individuals and
groups.
Church movements, especially
those influential in the thinking of
the Baptist General conference,
will be considered in the course
Modern Christian Movements to

Dr. Clarence Jordan, director of
the inter-racial Koinonia Commun-ity,
will discuss "The Christian
Response Toward Racial Tension"
at the 10 a.m. convocation tomor-row.
After Dr. Jordan received his
doctorate at Southern Baptist theo-logical
seminary, he founded the
experimental farm in southern
Georgia in 1943, attempting to
create a collective Christian com-munity.
Although idealistically self-sufficient,
the farm has been
forced by continued boycott by
the Southern community to re-duce
its output to those products
which can be sold through the
county auction. Most dealers and
stores in the area have nothing
to do with the farm.
Comprised of Eskimos, Indians,
Negroes and Whites, Koinonia
Community has faced shooting, ar-son
and stonings, yet continues to
uphold Dr. Jordan's philosophy of
love and pacifism.
In the Feb. 7 convocation, Dr.
E. Paul Torrance, director of the
Bureau of Educational research
and professor of Educational Psy-chology
at the University of Min-nesota,
will speak on "Creativity."
His discourse will consider the
capacity of an individual to use
sculpturing and snow activities and
the beard growing contest.
STUDENTS will be encouraged
to participate in ice skating, to-boganning
and traying following
the basketball game as the week-end
clomes to a close, although
there will be no formal organiza-tion
of these activities.
Sno-Daze princess candidates
have recently been selected by
members of the freshman and
sophomore classes. Three final
princess candidates will be de-termined

KTCA Series
To Be Produced
By Bethel Staff
KTCA-TV, educational television
station for the Twin Cities, will
feature a series of eighteen tele-casts
produced by departments and
instructors of Bethel college be-ginning
Monday, Jan. 28.
Program time for the weekly
series is 8:30 p.m. "Contemporary
Issues in the Light of Christian
Values" is the coordinating theme
of the programs, which are under
the general direction of Quentin
T. Smith, instructor in speech.
Dr. Robert Mounce, chairman of
the department of Christianity,
will produce the first three thirty-minute
programs of the series.
"The Bible as Literature" will
be presented Jan. 28 with the as-sistance
of Dale Rott, instructor in
religious drama. Mr. Rott will pre-sent
the diversity of literary forms
found in the Bible, while Dr.
Mounce will conclude the program
with a commentary on the unity
which nevertheless ties the scrip-tures
together.
Feb. 4 the topic scheduled is
"How We Got Our Bible," and the
following week a panel will dis-cuss
"The Problems in Biblical
Translation."
Panel members Dr. Walter Wes-sel,
Dr. Ronald Youngblood and
Dr. Mounce will review some of
the modern English translations
and the cultural problems involved
in translating.
Class competition in snow sculp-turing
will officially inaugurate
the 1963 Sno-Daze activities, "A
Winter Trilogy," to be held Feb.
1, 2. The sculpturing will depict
each class's version of a "Bethel
Royal."
Sketches for the proposed sculp-turing
must be submitted to Roger
Evans, snow sculpture chairman,
for approval by Jan. 25. Specific
areas of the campus will be assign-ed
to the classes upon approval of
sketches, and a trophy will be a-warded
for the most original and
best carved "Royal."
AS PART of the weekend's acti-vities,
Bethel men are currently
engaged in a beard growing con-test.
Judging of the beards and a-warding
of the trophy for the win-ner
will take place during half-time
entertainment at the basket-ball
game Saturday evening. Beards
will be judged on texture, shape
and fullness.
"510 Groveland," located on
the corner of Hennepin and
Groveland, will be the setting for
Friday evening's acivities. Semi-formal
attire — cocktail dresses
or formals for girls and dark
suits for fellows,—will be the
order of dress for the evening.
Coronation of the Sno-Daze prin-cess
will commence at 7:30 p.m.,

Racial Tension Reply
by Paul Carlson
In the political give and take
that characterizes Anglo-American
relations, as elsewhere in the free
world, there are the "haves" and
the "have nots."
John F. Kennedy has just gotten
"A's" in diplomacy, amiability and
conversation, with an "A+" in de-portment,
while his British coun-ter-
part Prime Minister MacMillan
has not.
SLICK POLITICAL maneuvering
pulled JFK out the winner in the
Skybolt missile controversy—slick
not because it saved our country
millions in wasteful spending, but
because in a clever manner he
told MacMillan he wanted to take
the "special" out of our British
relations.
Thus, although the Prime Min-ister
returned from Nassau with
submarines and Polaris missies,
he felt he owed his countrymen
an apology.
It was not merely that they had
to accept a military substitute that
seemed second-best, but it was be-cause
MacMillan had been harping
throughout his administration upon
his ability to maintain the advan-tageous
economic and diplomatic
ties with the U.S. that Britain had
enjoyed since the war.
MACMILLAN had built his for-eign
policy upon the faith that
this special relationship would

continue to exist. But JFK was of
the persuasion that the hope of
the West lay in military unifica-tion.
Hence, while he granted Po-laris
to Britain, it was only with
the understanding that those
missiles would be pooled into
the NATO nuclear garrison.
As final confirmation that JFK
wanted to loosen our ties with the
British, the President offered
France Polaris missiles on the same
terms.
ALTHOUGH MACMILLAN and
his people were not particularly
gleeful concerning this new move,
only the extremely patriotic Brit-ish
took vehement exception to the
policy.
Most of the leaders accepted
the alternatives as inevitable
and advantageous, for that coun-try
has economic problems of
such dimension that it seems un-healthy
for her to maintain an
independent nuclear force for
very long.
There is perhaps the tacit as-surance
in the minds of the Wash-ington
administration that military
unity will tend toward economic
and cultural unity, a goal now ham-pered
only by petty and selfish
national interests.
The Cuban affair and the Sky-bolt
controversy established our
country as the unquestioned leader
of the free world and in general
the most respected nation. And
riding on the crest of new pres-tige,
our President has found a
new freedom—a freedom to com-mand
respect and the ability to
quiet the strident extremists in the
various allied countries.
What this can mean for our
country is a greater appreciation
on the part of other countries of
our ideals and also a unity of the
democratic world that could pro-foundly
affect the history of hu-manity.

Senate-controlled Budget New Western Unity Forseen
Offers Many Advantages
Something new for student senate consideration is a pro-jected
plan of incorporating all funds for student publications
directly into the senate budget — an action which would
indicate a growing awareness of the senate's self-designated
role as the "supreme authority within the student association."
If actually carried into effect, this plan offers several
advantages, not the least of which includes the strengthening
of the positions of both groups.
Senate prestige would be enhanced in that its budget
will be substantially increased, more than doubled, and it
will consequently gain financial control of student publica-tions.
Publications gain, in that control rests with their peers,
and a direct financial responsibility is correctly established
with the student association.
However, the move also poses a difficult and delicate
problem, for in order to be honest and representative, the
student press must be comparatively free of outside control.
Thus, to insure this freedom, provisions must be made so that
financial support cannot be withdrawn on mere whim or
impulse.
One such safeguard might be the requirement that any
motion to limit the funds of any student publication be
passed first by the publications board before it is acted
upon by the senate, requiring there a three-foOrths majority
to prevent hasty passage.
In addition, the question rises of who should determine
the total allotments at the beginning of each semester. Such
a situation might be met by allowing the original budget allo-cations
to be made by a committee of the president, second
vice president and treasurer of the senate and the editors of
the student publications, each with equal vote. Their recom-mendation
would then be submitted for senate approval.
Administrative officials would probably be delighted with
this new arrangement, for it would clear up the perennial
question of who is responsible for the debts of publications.
However, with their release, the senate would have to assume
the responsibility with a tighter control and continuing re-view
of the publications' finances.
The idea, as it has been presented here, has its merits
and its disadvantages. But it does represent a progressive
policy for the student senate, and with the proper arrange-ments,
it can do much for the position of student government
on campus.

which is comfortable and un- (cont'd. on p. 3)
derstanding. It loves what might
be considered unlovable in other
circumstances, simply because the
object of love is near.
A SECOND LOVE is friendship.
Lewis believes that friendship is
one of the strongest loves and
that it has been neglected in our
day. Friendship is the least nat-ural
of loves, because it is not
necessary for survival and is least
connected with the nervous sys-tem.
Friendship draws people out of
groups and into intimate contact
and exclusive fellowship. In this
view of love, Lewis denies that
true love loves universally.
Eros is the third of the four
loves. Its most outstanding element
is desire for the happiness and
benefit of the other person in-volved.
This kind of love elimin-ates
the possibility of exploitation.
LEWIS CALLS eros a "need-love—
that which moves a lonely
or frightened child to its mother's
arms"—which has been transform-ed
to a higher realm.
In the love between a man and
woman "Eros makes a man really
want, not a woman, but one par-ticular
woman . . . he desires the
Beloved herself, not the pleasure
she can give." If eros is absent in
love between man and woman, the
love is identified as Venus or the
carnal sexual element of eros only.
Charity is the last of the four
loves which Lewis discusses. It is

Mounce Suggests Slogan
Editor's Note : The following article by Dr. Robert Mounce, chair-man
of the department of Christianity, is reprinted with permission
from the Dec. 12, 1962, edition of the FACULTY JOURNAL.
If I correctly sense faculty reaction to the slogan "A Cam-pus
of Christian Scholarship," it is high time that an accept-able
alternative be proposed. Response to this attempt to con-cisely
portray the Bethel image ranges from mild disapproval
to vehement opposition. Yet since it seems that something
must be said, what else can the copy men do while they patient-ly
wait until we provide something better?
Opposition to the slogan centers in two infelicities: (1)
the implication that there exists such a thing as "Christian"
scholarship which takes its stand over against scholarship
per se; (2) the propriety of a Johnny-come-lately liberal arts
college suggesting that genuine scholarship (in the sense of
recognized research and living on the "cutting edge of know-ledge")
actually characterizes Bethel.
My own suggestion for an alternate description is the
phrase "Cultivating Christian Excellence."
The word "cultivating" describes the development of a
potential which the student himself brings to the campus. It
is proper modesty to recognize that we do not create worth
or manufacture greatness: we simply cultivate, we create an
environment and nurture the potential for growth.
"Christian" is a broad word. It stands for everything that
is high and noble — all the best which flows from our religious
heritage. It leaps over time and includes Calvins, Augustines
and Christians at Antioch. It is neither Baptist nor Pretribula-tionist.
"Excellence" is a meaningful objective. Rightly defined
it can be achieved yet always remaining a goal for the future.
Mere scholarship is too narrow a perspective. Piety in and
of itself fails. Excellence relates to the whole man — academic
maturity, spiritual sensitivity, the ability to communicate.
"Cultivating Christian Excellence," what's wrong with it?

Jolting is the effect of Church
Militant, a sickening prophecy of
the church in 1980 presented last
weekend by the drama department.
While the play might not be com-pletely
relevant to our General
conference, or even to the church
in general, yet its exaggerations
were entertaining and revealing.
"The friendliest church this side
of heaven," characterized by its
over-organization, worldliness, fan-tastic
membership drives and in-ternal
disension, is rightly dubbed
the most typical church of that
age.
CRYPTICALLY REMARKING
"things come about so gradually
you hardly know they're differ-ent,"
the janitor indicates a dull-ing
of sensitivity and an obscur-ing
of purpose which could con-ceivably
also affect us.
After a meeting of the Celes-tial
council, the Apostle Paul
imple Art;
Tuesday, January 15, 1963
goes to earth to witness the
state of the church and to find
one who can save the church.
He encounters the Church Mili-tant
whose activities include fights
between the recruiter and guide,
fashion boards and T. V. contests,
mermaids instead of angels and
Rachel Sisters' bridge clubs.
PAUL CALLS them heretics, per-verts,
blasphemers, and the mem-bers
label him crazy and attack
him as the final spotlight freezes
the scene. Paul steps forward:
"Church Militant, onward to
where? God show some hope." The
janitor reaches forth his hand.
Written by Dale Rott, Bethel
drama instructor, the play indi-cates
promising things to come,
and under the direction of Tuffy
Bryant, the actors admirably
succeeded in their characteriza-tions
of stereotyped church mem-bers.
In contrast, the second play, dir-ected
by Mr. Rott, recalled the
life of Adoniram Judson, first Am-the
CLARION Page 3
erican missionary to Burma. The
narrator called it "a song, a ballad
of conquest, a hymn of faith, a
song of love . . . the moving story
of Adoniram and Anne."
TOUCH OF HUMOR in the first
scenes balanced a fleeting moment
of melodrama in the prison scene.
Admittedly it is difficult to ex-press
the grief, anguish and suf-fering
really experienced, but
Carole Lundquist and Jerry Oas
sensitively portrayed Anne and
Adoniram.
Other members of the cast
added color — varying accents,
with mild personalities opposing
persuasive persons. Particularly
impressive was the refreshing
contrast provided by the dialect
of Steve Seidl and the pompo-sity
of Larry Hansen.
Conquest in Burma was a mov-ing
experience and an interesting
missionary biography. Its purpose
was not clear, but perhaps a story
showing missionaries facing sor-row
and difficult with courage is
enough.
Church Prophecy, Missionary Story

Nelson Probes Artist's, Viewer's Roles
by Jud Nelson
The so-called spirit of uneasi-ness
found so frequently among
the viewers of modern abstract
art is caused mainly by misconcep-tions
as to what art really is, an
unwillingness on our part to give
up those cherished common con-ceptions
as to just what we feel
art should be, and a misunder-standing
of the artists' intentions
in relation to our present age.
Abstract art is subject to all the
influences of our social institu-tions
and in it we see ourselves,
our own struggles and our battles
for survival.
URBAN COUCH, who holds the
present exhibition, is an artist who
is extremely individualistic in his
chosen form of expression. The
massive bold forms no doubt de-pict
the artist. These forms have a
deliberate security which give them
definite frankness.
Obvious simplicity is developed
through thoughtful organization
and a good understanding of de-sign.
A fine example of the design
quality which Mr. Coach incor-porates
into his paintings is the
figure-ground relationship, which
may be readily observed in his
works entitled "Savanna" and
"Centenial Steppe."
MOOD AND ACTION are creat-ed
in an original manner by smear-ing
the edges of the forms and
giving them texture. This method
also leads to a well-developed over-lapping
quality and an inter-rela-tionship
of these figures.
Color is definitely of great im-portance
in these paintings. The
viewer becomes highly conscious
of pure paint in which the pig-ments
maintain a clear and bright
quality and range in variety from
cool to hot tones.
A typical example of the artist's
versatility in his control of color
and action which may be observed
in a comparison of "Savanna" and
"Centennial Steppe," where even
a total change from light to ex
tremely dark colors leaves the ac-tion
unchanged.

thing in return but seeks after the
good of the loved one. It is this
love which the Christian is ad-monished
to have.
In discussing the relationship
of love to God, Lewis names God
"Love Himself," but he states
strongly, "I cannot now deny the
name love to need-love." In ex-planation
the author says that a
person's love for God is always a
"need-love."
The Four Loves is a significant
contribution to this much discus-sed
subject. It has some important
insights to give a Christian philo-sophy
of love and deserves
thoughtful attention in Christian
circles.

Complete objectivity in grading has finally been achieved by
Dr. Roy C. Dalton, chairman of the history department. Created to en-able
professors to easily meet the flood of papers and tests at the end
of each semester, this fatalistic procedure has completely eliminated
the personality factor prevalent in other methods. Dr. Dalton remarked,
"What's more, with sufficient practice, the grades average out to form
a standard curve." At the end of his latest grading session, Dr. Dalton
predicted that his discovery would revolutionize education.

ester break. Kronholm, Willie Larson, Brice Martinson, Len Molberg, Bob Smith,
Karl Smith, Jim Spiceland, Doug Todd and Dick Young are included
on the new team. Canadians Willie Larson and Doug Todd have carried
most of the scoring, with Dave Gehrke tallying two in the Ramsey game.
Player-coach for the squad is veteran U of M player Dick Young.
Young, who is a junior in the seminary, captained the Minnesota team
last year. He will be schedulig games primarily with park board teams
this year. Gehrke, who is supervisor at Ramsey, has obtained the
Ramsey ice for practice and games.
Scoring in the Ramsey scrimmage were forwards Willie Larson,
Doug Todd (2 points) and Dave Gehrke (2 points) as Bethel won 6-2.
Kronholm (all-state from Crookston), Foreman, Spiceland, Molberg and
Bob Smith also play forward, while Bloom, Frost, Martinson and Young
handle the defense. Karl Smith is goalie.
Larson and Todd each scored in the park board all-star game, but
Bethel still took a 5-2 loss. The next game will possibly be a Sno-Daze
tilt with Northland's hockey team. Don't miss it; it is worth braving the
weather alone to see Vince Bloom on ice skates.

Skiers Travel
To Wisconsin
Ski enthusiasts as well as poten-tial
skiers are urged to make this
bargain weekend a must. The total
price for the two days' lodging,
skiing and meals is $13, plus equip-ment
rentals.
Gene Glader and Miss Marilyn
Starr announced that overnight
accommodations and meals will
be provided at the Bayfield inn
in Bayfield, two miles from the
ski facilities of Mount Ashwa-bay.
Departure time for the trip is
2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27. Besides
the two days of skiing, evening
get-togethers are being planned by
the committee.
An informal worship service on
Sunday evening will begin the two
days' activities, and a dinner, ski
films, singing and light entertain-ment
will highlight Monday night's
social.
This trip is an ideal opportun-ity
for the non-skier to become
initiated to the sport. The low
cost, absence of weekend crowds,
free instruction and companion-ship
of fellow novices offer an
excellent chance to begin skiing,
as well as a relaxing and fun-filled
vacation.
Indications from last year's trip,
Bethel's first such venture, promise
an even better time this year. Al-though
there were 35 students and
faculty who went last year, Glader
anticipates a group of 50 to 60 for
the current trip.
Besides the River Falls and Ham-line
contests, Bethel has at least
one other home match with Con-cordia,
and possibly one with
Augustana's B team. Return meets
with Macalester and Hamline will
be away.
