the YGOP's monthly meeting to
morrow night at 7:30 on the topic,
"The Minnesota School Bus Issue."
The meeting will be held at Dr.
Peterson's home, 1438 North Simp-son
street.
Having done research on this
subject for the Minnesota Council
of Churches, Dr. Peterson has dis-cussed
it before various groups in
the Twin City area and has ap-peared
on WCCO's "Open Mike"
and WTCN TV's "Minnesota

If the bill concerned with the
school bus issue is passed by the
Minnesota legislature, tax-support-ed
buses will transport students to
parochial schools.

Selections from the Baroque to
the modern periods will be pre-sented
at the fifth annual winter
concert of the Bethel college band
Friday evening at 8 in the field-house.
Featured number in the
program will be George Gershwin's
"Rhapsody in Blue," with Shirley
Stearns Root at the piano.
Mrs. Root is a senior music majog
from Northfield, Minn. She gives
private piano lessons, plays tym-pani
in the band, and is student
director of the band.
"Rhapsody in Blue," Gersh-win's
first major effort in or-chestral
music, was in its pre-mier
performance the highlight
of a unique concert presented
by the Paul Whiteman orchestra
in Town Hall, New York city,
on Feb. 12, 1924.
This concert established Gersh-win
as the American "colossus with
one foot in Carnegie hall and the
other in Tin Pan alley." Gersh-win's
career, cut short at its peak
by his premature death in 1937,
has become a legend in American
music.
Band director Julius Whitinger
has chosen selections from "Wil-liam
Byrd's Suite" to represent the
Baroque period. Howard Hanson's
"Chorale and Alleluia" is a modern
selection.
"Hopak," by Moussorgsky and
"Estudio No. 29," by Murillo, are
included in the program. Offen-bach's
"Gaite Parissiene" adds
a rollicking, gay note to the con-cert.
Band accompaniment will back

from the Baroque period usually
housed in the Walker Gallery of
religious art, including paintings
from such artists as Tintoretto.
PAUL T. GRANLUND, head of
the Minneapolis School of Art
sculpture department, will display
small pieces of sculpture, mostly
bronzes, in the library throughout
the week.
As a special feature of the
week, Marcela Oja, soprano, will
give a concert of sacred music
at 8 p.m. Friday in the college
auditorium. Miss Oja is music
instructor at the University and
a member of the Schubert club,
having given performances un-der
the club's auspices.
Saturday evening the cultural
council will augment the week's
program with a drama presenta-tion
by the Religious Players.
CHAPEL PERIODS will also be
slanted to an emphasis on the
fine arts. Monday, through the
choirs, soloists and duets, a pro-gram
of sacred music will imple-ment
the emphasis.
Featuring the significance of
drama will be the production un-der
the direction of Demeter
Filuk of "The Last Word," a one-act
play, on Tuesday.
Again through the art media of
music, Wednesday's chapel will
evolve around sacred music as de-livered
by the brass ensembles.

the CLARION Tuesday, March 5, 1963 Expansion of Internal Spending
Senate Re-examines Role Limits Federal Inflation Control
Of Class Representatives
Members of the student senate will soon be considering
a series of recommendations originating from a survey of the
senate's initial year of operation under its new constitution.
Obviously, no such instrument could possibly anticipate every
situation to be encountered, so a current attempt to discover
defects is more than necessary. Through this revised docu-ment,
the student senate has committed itself to an expanded
membership of 23, including six executive officers, five com-mittee
chairmen, four members-at-large, four class representa-tives
and four class presidents. And it is in these latter group-ings
that a structural weakness has been observed.
Originally, in adding the positions of class representatives
and members-at-large, the senate was recognizing a need for
closer ties between the student senate and the student body.
Here were to be individuals whose sole responsibilities were
to be senate work; they were elected to link an identifiable
segment of the campus to student government, thus creating
a definite channel through which ideas and opinions would be
passed.
This was a role which the senate evidently felt that the
class presidents, due to the necessary pressures of their
offices, had been unable to fill. At the time, it was decided
to continue to name class presidents as senators, but it
might now prove prudent to re-examine the legitimacy of
this position on the student senate.
At first glance it would seem desirous to include class
presidents on the senate; they are the leaders of their classes.
But it is here that the difficulty lies, for is it possible to do
both well? On the surface it might appear advantageous to
have this double representation. However, experience has
revealed that while these positions are supposedly duplicates,
they have not been equally filled.
For example, consider the basic attitudes with which each
of these individuals approaches his position. The class presi-dent
is first and foremost a class president, the person respon-sible
for supervising class projects, overseeing the class social
program, coordinating plans for class banquets and ascertain-ing
class financial solvency. And added to these already num-erous
duties is his service on the student senate.
Elected solely for senate work, the class representative
experiences none of this "divided loyalty." It is his responsi-bility
to give accurate representation to his constituency and
to become closely involved with and knowledgeable about
senate work. He is to solicit student opinion and is expected
to make a conscious effort to contribute during senate meet-ings.
He has been elected for these purposes.
This then is the comparison, after which it would seem
reasonable to suggest that as the constitutional changes are
discussed and adopted, a second class representative be sub-stituted
for the class president—an action beneficial to both
the classes and to the senate. First of all, it would release the
class presidents from time-consuming senate work, allowing
them to concentrate on the primary duties of their offices,
and secondly it would provide the classes with another senate
representative with adequate time to devote to his task. The
senate would profit by gaining additional personnel with stated
interest in student government, who have also pledged them-selves
for active participation in senate work.
This alternative stands as a live option for the senate, and
it does appear to be a workable solution for the perennial
problem of disinterested membership.

The following article relies heav-ily
on data in the text Economics

used in recent years and a stan-dard.

by Dan Martinez
"Christian Faith and the Contemporary Arts,"
edited by Finley Eversole. Abingdon Press,
1962, New York-Nashville. $5.
Christian Faith and the Contem-porary
Arts is a symposium of
twenty-eight essays in which dif-ferent
artists, art critics, clergy-men,
theologians and philosophers
discuss the relation of faith and
art in terms authentic to their own
experience.
The editor selected the essays
for the purpose of explaining the
ability of contemporary art to hold
upon the imaginative life of man
where, according to the editor,
renewal of faith and life alone take
place, and to understand the ma-terial
world as a realm within
which event and meaning may find
expression.
SHORTCOMINGS FOUND in
most collections of essays by dif-ferent
authors are represented here
— repetition, different levels of
communication and various view-points
which if developed more
fully would conflict with one an-other.
However, the book gives a good
survey of the subject area. It dis-cusses
the situation of the artist
and the various arts: literature,
drama, music, dance, painting,
sculpture, architecture and an in-teresting
essay on the problem of
demythologizing "Peanuts."
Because of its large scope and
readability, the book is most bene-ficial
to the interested layman who
possesses a limited knowledge of
the subject.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN art-ists
and the church is a topic area
in which the essays are consistent-ly
excellent. Nathan Scott, in his,
essay on Art and the Renewal of
Human Sensibility, states his thesis
that contemporary religion needs
the arts to be an effective witness.
People are often embarrassed,
frustrated or disgusted when view-either
conservative or liberal views
but rather draws conclusions only
as abstractions from generally ac-cepted
economic principles.
Economists distinguish between
"internal" and "external" debts.
ing a tragic drama or listening to
a moving sermon because contem-porary
Man has not been trained
to understand, feel or express emo-tion:
"And since the order of sensi-bility
does not lie immediately
within the competence of the theo-logian,
he cannot but regard the
artist as one of his most natural
partners, for it is the whole office
of the artist to liberate the imagi-nation
and to train and educate us
in the ways of feeling and sensi-bility."
IN ANOTHER essay by John W.
Dixon, Jr. on The Sensibility of
the Church and the Sensibility of
the Artist, he implies that the at-titude
of the Church to the arts
reflects the "healthiness" of our
theology:
"Arianism loses the sense of the
mystery of nature and flattens the
Christian experience into a ration-alism
incapable of producing more
than inert naturalism in Christian
art.
"Docetism loses the goodness
of nature and is incapable of pro-ducing
an art at all and can only
use visual forms of the idealized
type removing it as far as possible
from the substantial reality of the
earth from which it came."
These are topics of which the
Christian should not be intellectu-ally
lazy. Amid the boom in church
building and a "Renaissance" in
our culture, the Christian should
have a philosophy of the arts. This
book is a witness to this Christian
responsibility.

Student Argues
For Curriculum
Dear Editor:
I grossly disagree with the view-point
as presented in the Feb. 19
editorial concerning the revisions
in the music curriculum.
First, the 42 credits required to
finish the course under the new
curriculum are three less than un-der
the old. I must also state that
music majors are not the only ones
that have such a heavy or limited
course schedule. Chemistry majors
also have a comparable load.
Second, the old curriculum was
very inadequate in many respects;
the new one will give the type of
training and preparation that is
required of anyone going into the
terrifically competitive field of
music, and at the same time it has
not increased the credit load. It
is basically a redistribution of cre-dits,
not an addition of credits as
your editorial so boldly states.
Therefore the new curriculum
is not any more of a deviation
from the school's traditional philo-sophy
than the old. I cannot see
how a thinking person could so
badly contort the facts.
Jack Miller
Editor's Note : A careful read-ing
the above-mentioned editor-ial
will reveal no reference to
any increase in the total require-ments
demanded. While the "ex-tensive
revisions" of the current
curriculum do indeed approach
a fairer credit distribution, the
basic question of a liberal arts
emphasis, in the new program
as well as the old, remains.
If we owed huge quantities of
money to other countries the Uni-ted
States would be under cor-responding
strain for repayment.
BUT SUCH is not the case. The
bulk of our country's debt is to
various American agencies and to
the American people. Most of the
money spent by the government
then is taken back by Americans
and the circle is completed.
Hence although the govern-ment
is spending more money it
is keeping most of it within our
country. There is no loss of goods
or services.
Or as Samuelson puts it, "Paul
receives what Peter loses and some-times
. . . (as in the case of inter-nal
spending) Paul and Peter are
one and the same person." We
owe the money to ourselves.
HOWEVER, THERE are subtle
dangers which should be noted.
The Federal Reserve banks whose
chief purpose is to control the
value of the dollar by manipulat-ing
interest rates and effecting
related economic policies are some-what
hampered by a huge debt.
When the debt increases, the
tendency is for the dollar to in-flate
because more money is
made available to Americans.
Thus control slips from the Fed-eral
Reserve bank to the whim-sical
public. That's bad!
However, this and other related
problems are being adequately re-solved
by governmental fiscal poli-cies.
For example: laws have been
enacted prohibiting unlimited pri-vate
investment. This acts as a
deterrent to spiraling inflation.
The American economy depends
upon the element of cautious op-timism.
The sensitive system re-flects
undue distrust of Admini-strative
policies. For example, the
above mentioned illusion of an
economic problem can cause the
stock market to fluctuate irradi-cally.
This itself destroys stability
and fosters unhealthy public in-security.

"Art which portrays man in re-lation
to the presence or to an ab-sence
of God is religious art, whe-ther
or not it has a religious sub-ject,"
which Dr. Chester Penning-ton,
minister of the Hennepin Ave-nue
Methodist church illustrated
by pointing out some of Van
Gogh's paintings reflecting crea-tion.
Dr. Pennington's interest in art
is that of an amateur, an interest
which began when he was in grade
school and discovered that "good
literature reflects man's condition
and search for meaning in life."
This led him to other art forms
in a search whether they also re-flected
man in society.
"BECAUSE HUMAN life is not
complete without a divine refer-ence,
the greatest art, whether
literature or painting, has this
reference." This defines religious
art as an art which is "not a ser-mon,
but only the portrayal of man
including presence or absence of
God. Specifically Christian art re-veals
God involved in man."
Rouault, whom Dr. Penning.
ton "discovered" five or six
years ago, has a Christian faith
to which he gives expression in
his art through contemporary
forms. During Fine Arts week
Pennington will share his under-standing
of the religious signifi-cance
in the paintings of Rou-ault.
Several etchings by Rouault are
in Dr. Pennington's collection. He
suggests etchings and prints for
young art collectors who want
"originals." He owns several oils
by James Crane, a young Chris-tian
from Wisconsin. When in
Tokyo, he acquired some unusual
woad block prints by a Japanese
Christian artist, Watanabe. "The
church ought to encourage and
support Christian artists by buying
their paintings."
HENNEPIN AVENUE Methodist
church has a large collection of
paintings and prints. Its most re-cent
acquisition is a contemporary
head of Christ by Nagel. The
Walker Religious Gallery of Art
located in the church includes
twenty-four master oils. Ten of
these will be exhibited in the fac-ulty
lounge here during Fine Arts
week.
The Italian, Dutch and Spanish
paintings will be "The Woman
Taken in Adultery," Guerchino;
"Isaac Blessing Jacob," Flinck;
"Building the Tower of Babel,"
Borras; "Christ Healing the
Sick," Tintoretto; "Adoration of
the Shepherds," three paintings
by Fabritius, Borras and Furini;
"The Wedding at Cana," Swane-velt;
"Christ Before Caiaphas,"
Tiepolo.
Another mood of contemporary
religious art will be the sculpture
exhibition of Minnesotan Paul T.
Granlund in the library. Noted pri-marily
as a religious artist, he re-ceived
a Fulbright award for study
in Italy in 1954, and a Guggenheim
fellowship for creative sculpture.
On view in the student center
will be models and drawings of
contemporary church buildings,
portraying trends of architects in
the Twin Cities. To supplement
this will be a bus tour of new
churches in the cities. The fourth
area of visual arts will be seen in
the book store by Sacred Design
associates. They will display bulle-tins,
cards, stationery and prints.

"Academic Responsibility on
Bethel's Campus" was the topic of
a unique discussion last Thursday
evening. A panel of three teachers
and two students introduced the
subject.
Miss Betty Tutton, assuming that
teachers were responsible to be
well-prepared, underscored the stu-dents'
responsibility to be interest-ed
and to interact. Students must
recognize that the classroom is a
social situation and come prepared
to demonstrate their knowledge.
DR. IVAN FAHS chose to em-phasize
the relationship of the ex-tra-
curricular and the academic.
His judgment: Bethel students
most frequently choose the extra-curricular
at the expense of the
academic.
In seeking to become balanced
people they simply become medio-cre.
A balanced campus, made up
of unbalanced students, students
avidly interested in any particular
discipline, is the ideal.
Dr. Walfred Peterson insisted
that teachers and students have
equal responsibility for successful
education. Students should rise a-bove
dull, poorly prepared profes-sors
and know what should be pre-sented,
what should be emphasized.
FOLLOWING STUDENT state-ments
the session was opened for
questions. Reaction centered a-round
the extra-curricular and aca-demic
relationship and Dr. Fahs'
plea for the specialized student.
Extra or co-curricular activities
were defended as supplements to

Hey, did you order your school ring yet?
Tuesday, March 5, 1963
Student senate elections have
been slated for March 29, with the
deadline for securing declarations
of candidacy set for March 17.
Nominations will be accepted for
the offices of president, first vice
president, second vice president,
treasurer, corresponding secretary,
recording secretary and four posi-tions
of members-at-large.
Petitions will be issued to the
declared candidates on March
18 and each candidates must se-cure
at least 25 signatures to
finalize his nomination.
Candidates for executive posi-tions
must be carrying at least 12
credits, be in their second consecu-tive
semester in the college and
have a cumulative honor point
ratio of at least 1.5.
Members-at-large must meet the
same qualifications, although their
cumulative honor point ratio need
total only LO. Candidacy is not re-stricted
to any class level.
If there are more than two
candidates for an office, a pri-mary
election will be held March
22, with the names of the two
candidates receiving the highest
number of votes appearing on
the final ballot.
Primary duty for the president
is responsibility for the execution
of all affairs of the student associa-tion.
The first vice president as-sumes
the presidency if that posi-tion
is vacated and supervises Wel-an
academic program. This defense
was generally accepted, with the
caution that wide-spread extra-cur-ricular
participation could lead to
futile, if dedicated, activity with
no direction.
Concentration in a single disci-pline
brought protest from those
defending the "liberal arts tradi-tion."
Mature choice of a core of
study was stated to be the ideal.
Concentration in a particular area
would present an opportunity to
evaluate the area intelligently.
ALSO NOTED was the fact that
much of the problem of academic
concern lies not with those who
over-participate, but with those
who participate in nothing.
Discussion is healthy, and the
student-teacher dialogue will hope-fully
be continued. But nothing of
worth will come about simply
through discussion. Action must
be taken, but action must first be
defined.

Secretarial duties are divided
between the recording secretary,

Debaters Get
To Semi-finals
At St. Thomas
Four Bethel students participat-ed
in the Thirty-second Annual
Northwest Debate tournament held
at St. Thomas college, St. Paul,
Feb. 28 through March 2.
Debate teams of Lindy Nelson-
Sharon Larson and Fred Lund-
James Keim were among the rep-resentatives
of 78 schools from 10
states entered in the meet.
After four rounds of prelimin-ary
debate on both Thursday and
Friday, the team of Nelson-Larson
advanced to the octa-finals with a
7-1 record.
Besting St. Thomas in the octa-finals,
the team then beat Augu-stana
college (Ill.) in the quarter-finals

Dr. Pennington explains to Minda Pearson the
expression of man's need for God in contemporary
religious art. "The Clown" by Rouault is an example

which portrays deep peace and love of life. Dr. Pen-nington
finds Rouault's Christian faith expressed in
his art and will be sharing this understanding in

Sidelines
by Bob Beckstrom
Basketball season is over now, perhaps to no one's dismay. For the
5-14 mark doesn't thrill too many people and is probably best summar-ized
in the words of Coach Healy as "a dismal won-lost record," (em-phasizing
the "dismal"). But the rewards of coaching come from some-thing
more than won-lost records, and he was quick to add that "we've
been much encouraged since Christmas. We've been in every game
since then, and the losses have been tough."
Outstanding individual performances have been disguised by the
poor record. Dave Peterman's consistently fine defensive play and Lee
Bajuniemi's scoring head the list, but Healy points out other fine
performances as well.
Phil Bolinder, who can squeeze through holes nobody else even
sees, scored 21 points at Sioux Falls, 19 at Northwestern and 18 at
River Falls, as well as led the team in rebounds. His play up at
Northland drew particular praise from Healy. Freshman Jerry Moul-ton,
playing forward for the first time this year, played particularly
well against Bemidji (18), Morris (18), Northland (17) and Moorhead
(16). He was second in total points and rebounds.
Second semester additions George Palke and Don Moore need no
introduction. Moore averaged 14.3 points in his seven games, and set
season highs in scoring (23), field goals (11) and rebounds (20) in the
season finale against Northland.
Palke, with a .400 shooting percentage for second place, collected
68 rebounds in eight games and scored an average of 10 points per

game. Both Moore, at 6'9", and Palke, at 6'5", gave the team the much-needed
height it lacked at the beginning of the season.
Team averages since Christmas show marked improvement. The
average score per game for the entire season was Bethel 66.2, oppon-ents
70.5. For the games after Christmas, however, it was Bethel
70.8, opponents 70.6. These cold statistics hardly do anything to the
season record, nor does the record indicate any of the outstanding
and thrilling games. Besides outstanding individual performances,
team efforts against Moorhead, Northland, Concordia, Northwestern,
Morris and River Falls will not be forgotten.
Encouraged by the last half of the season, Healy optimistically an-ticipates
a "real strong team next year. We will be strong underneath."
He will be looking for a fast, scrappy guard like Peterman or
Bajuniemi to make the well-rounded team, and indicated some possible
freshman prospects for next year. He attributed the "dismal won-lost
record to a lack of scoring punch right underneath the basket," but
next year feels that will be a minimum problem.
Playing a similar schedule next year, the team will be meeting
additional teams from Trinity and Aurora of Chicago. They will play
Concordia and Aurora on a road trip to Chicago in early December, and
will host Trinity later in the season.
