Frosh Choose Dow
To Head Cabinet
CLARION advisor Edward Avey,
instructor of English, will attend
the annual conference of the Na-tional
Council of College Publica-tions
advisors Oct. 17-19 in New
York city. Several sessions will be
held in cooperation with the As-
Alumni Begin
New Service
Bethel alumni association is now
planning to establish the alumni
vocational counseling service. In
a joint effort with the student sen-ate,
the service will bring alumni
and students with common voca-tional
interests together.
Alumni are making the project
the first step toward becoming a
service on the campus. Interests of
the association are now largely
with alumni away from the campus.
Present plans include a series
of luncheons in the president's din-ing
room during the week of Nov.
18. These are designed to provide
opportunity for informal interac-tion
between students and alumni.
By speaking with graduate stu-dents,
professional people and
business men with experience in
their field of interest, students
will gain a better understanding
of the particular career. Oppor-tunities
and special training re-quirements
can also be explored.
Students will receive sheets in
their p.o. boxes on which they may
indicate career interests. Arrange-ments
to meet with alumni in that
vocation can then be made. If
necessary, preference will be given
to upperclassmen.
Alumni director Dwight Jessup
hopes to compile a permanent list
of alumni who will be available
for consultation upon appointment.
Cabot Dow is the newly elected
president of the freshman class.
Hailing from Sunnyside, Wash.,
Dow was active in his high school's
student government, serving as
vice-president of his junior class
and president of his sophomore
class. He also served as vice-presi-dent
of the National Honor society
and was an office holder in Boys'
State.
Homecoming weekend plans are
being completed as Oct. 24-26 and
"Impressions from Autumn" draw
nearer.
Ticket sales will open Thursday,
Oct. 17 in the student center
lounge. Students are encouraged to
attend "Dear Wormwood" Thurs-day
night at the cost of $1. Only
a very limited number of tickets
will be available to students for
the Friday evening performance.
Purchase of a homecoming but-ton
will permit attendance at the
Friday evening hootenanny in
the college auditorium. Holders
of student activity cards will be
admitted to the Saturday after-noon
football game against the
Northwestern Trojans.
Banquet tickets will be available
to upperclassmen and off-campus
students for $2 beginning Thurs-day,
Oct. 17. Underclassmen may
purchase banquet tickets starting
Monday, Oct. 21.
Those on the meal plan must
show meal tickets to receive free
banquet tickets. Approximately 350
banquet tickets are available for
students. However, all are welcome
to attend the program following
the banquet in the fieldhouse.
According to campus decora-tions
chairman Dick Fredrickson,
Bethel's first YGOP meeting was
held Thursday, Oct. 10, with 17
attending the meeting. The pro-gram
included a brief discussion
on "The Role of the Christian in
Politics." Particularly emphasized
were the statements that Sen. Eu-
Officiating as vice-president and
social chairman for the class of
1967 will be Doug Ainsworth from
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The secretar-ial
race was won by Debbie Peter-son
of Waukegan, Ill.
Wendell Plucker from Chicago,
III. will handle the class finances,
while Mike Peterson from Whit-tier,
Calif. will represent the
frosh in the student senate.
all campus decorations are to be
completed by midnight Wednes-day,
Oct. 23. Decorations are to
be based on either of two
themes: "Tromp the Trojans" or
"Impressions from Autumn."
Queen candidates have been
naminated by the junior and sen-ior
classes. Nominees from the sen-ior
class include Jean Dahlquist,
Linnea Linden, Nancy Robertson
and Gretchen Sawyer.
Representing the junior class are
Judy Lindaman, Gail Nielsen,
Marilyn Swan and Judy Van Warn-beke.
One of the five finalists
elected at yesterday's junior-senior
primary will be elected queen by
the entire student body on Thurs-day,
Oct. 24.
Welcoming alumni to the cam-pus
will be alumni host and hos-ess

alumni activities will include in-formal
receptions by several de-partments
for their alumni.
gene McCarthy, (Dem.-Minn.) made
in an article, "Politics and the
Christian Politician," in his pam-phlet
The Demands of Democracy.
Sen. McCarthy set down what he
considered to be the goals of Chris-tian
politicians.
"The Christian in politics
should be judged by the standard
of whether through his decisions
and actions he has advanced the
cause of justice.
"He should be the first to detect
and oppose a truly totalitarian
threat or movement and the last
to label as totalitarian every pro-posal
for social reform.
"He should risk defeat for the
sake of truth."
On Sunday, Oct. 6, Bethel
YGOP was officially accepted in-to
the Minnesota Federation of
College Republican clubs. This
organization includes campus
YGOP clubs from all Minnesota
colleges. A state convention is
slated to be held about March 1,
1964.
Bethel's YGOP participated in
the Republican Neighbor to Neigh-bor
campaign recently to raise
funds.
Casting their ballots in last Fri-day's
election were two hundred
twenty-nine of the two hundred
ninety-four members of the fresh-man
class. Election statistics re-vealed
that seventy-eight per cent
of the class participated in the
voting.
The campaign rally on election
eve in the fieldhouse provided an
opportunity for the candidates to
formally present their qualifica-tions
to their class members.
Demonstrations by supporters
of the candidates followed their
respective speeches with several
of the more enthusiastic demon-strations
leaving the fieldhouse
and some of the participants
emerging a little worse for wear.
In his key-note address, student
senate president Bob Sorley urged
the one hundred twenty freshmen
in attendance to look for four
qualities in the candidates being
presented for offices. These in-cluded
leadership, ability, keen
thinking, wise planning and will-ingness
to work hard.

Phenix: 'Art is End, not Means'
by J. David Patterson
It will be the philosophy of this
report in the following paragraphs
and in coming issues of the CLAR-ION
that the student should be in-formed
as to what is going on be-hind
the impenetrable cloud of
parliamentary procedure often dis-played
during student senate meet-ings.
At the senate meeting Oct. 8, the
most important order of business
was approval of twelve proposed
constitutional changes. The pro-posed
changes passed with a two-third
majority.
Final vote will be taken on the
amendments Friday, Oct. 18,
from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the
student center. All that is neces-sary
for the amendments to pass
is a simple majority of the votes
cast.
Amendments 1, 2, 8, 9, 10 and 11
are nothing more than grammatical
changes designed to eliminate am-biguities.,
They need no further
explanation.
Amendment three, however, in-troduces
a new terminology which
is reflected in the fourth amend-ment.
These two amendments in
essence provide that class repre-sentatives
be made class officers
and therefore members of the class
executive cabinet.
The fifth and seventh amend-ments
allow for the removal of
corporate members such as cam-pus
clubs, except for the individ-ual
classes, from the specifica-tions
of the election code of pro-cedure.
Amendment six merely adds the
duty of announcing the dates of
the primary and general elections
at least two weeks in advance to
the election board. The final
amendment states more clearly the
time of the first senate meeting of
the year.
Proposed was an amendment
that would lower the honor point
ratio required for senate execu-tives
from 1.5 to 1.25. There was
considerable discussion over this
particular issue, the major objec-tions
being put forth by Dean
Dahlquist. The amendment was de-feated
thirteen to five.
Final issue in which there was
considerable interest was that
of the dress code on campus.
Views on the situation were of-fered
by Dr. Junet Runbeck and
Roger Evans.
As is the case with so many rules
the dress code is effective as it
stands, but no one is willing to put
teeth into it. The issue was left
undecided, and it will be interest-ing
to see how it is handled at the
next senate meeting.

During his recent lecture series
on the campus, Dr. Philip H. Phe-nix
discussed in an interview the
topic, "Religion and art." Dr. Phe-nix
suggested that the place of
art in education is to provide what
he called a "con-summatory
ex-perience."
"Most other
things are
means. But art
is like the
Kingdom of
God. You are
just there.
There is no
farther to go."
"Communication is a necessary
by-product of a work of art," Phe-nix
also said. He does not seem to
by Karen Sloan
Outward atrocities and unbeliev-able
horrors of concentration
camps during the last war are fre-quent
subjects of books. Man's
Search for Meaning by Victor E.
Frankl portrays another dimension
of prison life.
Frankl proposes to answer some
questions about everyday life in
such a camp, at the level of men's
minds, spirits and wills. Much of
the book is the story of Frankl's
own experiences in Auschwitz and
other Nazi prisons and of his de-termination
to find for his own
existence a meaning and a pur-pose,
even in the concentration
camp.
The story serves the larger
purpose of the book, which is to
explain his theory of logotherapy
which developed out of his war
experience.
Logotherapy is a version of ex-istential
analysis. Its main tenet
is that much neurosis (the noogenic
neuroses) derives from a man's
failure to find a "meaning and a
sense of responsibility in his ex-istence."
Frankl suggests that human free-dom
is to choose one's own atti-tude,
one's own way. On the basis
of his experience, he holds that
"man can preserve a vestigate of
spiritual freedom, an independence
of mind, even in such terrible con-think
that the accusation that the
abstractionist artist does not com-municate
is valid. The artist is
not obligated to communicate with
just anyone. Even if he has com-municated
something early to him-self,
he has communicated.
As a corollary of his definition
that "a work of art is a deliberate-ly
produced artifact whose purpose
is to give disinterested enjoyment,"
Phenix defines failure as the in-capacity
to evoke interest.
He further insisted that works
of art can not be compared as
to degrees of 'greatness,' for each
painting is unique, each works
with a unique problem.
Another of Dr. Phenix's com-ments
on the nature and value of
art is that "the creative work of
the artist is an analog of the crea-ditions
of psychic and physical
stress (as the prison camp)."
Meaning in life, Frankl found,
was this spiritual freedom that
made men, in the grim degrada-tion
of the concentration camps,
"worthy of their sufferings." It
is the way a man takes up his
cross that enables him to add
the deeper meaning to life.
Logotherapy has become known
as the third Viennese school of
Psychtherapy. Frankl has replac-ed
the retrospective and introspec-tive
psychoanayltic methods of his
predecessors, Freud and Adler,
with a psychotherapy that is con-cerned
with the future. Healing is
in finding a purpose for life and
thus a meaning.
Frankl encourages us to look at
our future from the vantage point
of our death, or to "live as if you
were living already for the second
time and as if you acted as wrongly
the first time as you are about to
act now."
The meaning Frankl encourages
us to find is not something ab-stract.
It is for every man his
own meaning, his "mission."
This book does not move the
reader to simple pity for this poor
brave man and all the other pri-soners.
It reaches much deeper:
it asks the individual his meaning.
A careful recitation of a cate-chism
is not the answer. Each must
tive work of God. And we can
know of God the creator through
the creating of the artist."
"A good theology is the basis of
art criticism. The artist is utiliz-ing
the gift of the spirit. The true
purpose of art is the expression
of spiritual reality."
"However, art such as sur-realism
can be demonic where
the artist is magnifying Self and
the art expresses an autonomy
that is out of touch with the
divine creative intention."
Dr. Phenix warned against sup-posing
that because a piece of art
has a religious subject matter its
content is religious. As an exam-ple
he mentioned D. H. Lawrence's
David.
Conversely he suggested that art
that seems to be an expression of
desperation is still raising a reli-gious
problem, even though it
does not affirm a religious an-swer.
Thus this art might be
thought of as a negative affirma-tion.
For instance, even comic drama
can not be considered unreligious
because its purpose is to give
perspective and is therefore jus-tified.
Phenix considers that the
only truly unreligious art is that
which he termed "dilletante,"
art that expresses a "who cares"
philosophy.
Phenix did not seem to have any
philosophic grounds for disparag-ing
non-representational art, al-though
he admitted that abstract
art does not allow for much assoc-iation
of a religious nature.
One of his own favorite artists
is Kandinsky. Phenix said that his
philosophy of art concurred closely
with that of Dorthy Sayers in her
book Mind of the Maker.

Frosh Elections Climax
Week of Campaigning
Freshman elections are over. Avid poster makers have
admired their creations; ambitious candidates have spoken to
their constituencies; eager voters have cast their ballots.
Democracy has triumphed all over again, sort of.
Proceedings have been in the finest campus tradition.
Political rumblings are heard from dormitory counterparts
of smoke-filled rooms. Chewing gum replaces cigarettes; cokes
fill in for coffee or worse; the only clouds to be seen are those
in which aspiring politicians have their heads.
More concrete action follows: after a liberal amount of
encouragement by his circle of friends, the hesitant student
signs a declaration of candidacy. Then comes circulating the
petition and putting up posters. Rather bad ones at first;
scribbled with a magic marker on bookstore posterboard.
The ever-present campaign manager decides the effort lacks
class, so an artistic young lady is recruited. The method:
coffee shop date, a bit of persuasive conversation and it's
all set.
Then primary elections in the student center. Candidates
are strangers to the innocent voter. "My roommate thinks he's
cute!" and another candidate gets a tally. The election board
counts ballots with deliberate speed. Candidates congratulate
and console one another. Winners scurry back to the coke-filled
rooms to renew the battle for men's minds.
Campus walls bloom with more posters, some childishiy
scarred by campus wits. The long week slows excitement,
points toward the rally the night before the election.
Politics ooze across the campus from the fieldhouse. A
small band blares marches. Bunting brightens the platform
and podium and splashes across the blue and gold curtains.
Solemn candidates dressed in dark suits and white sox sit
stiffly facing the class. The rally opens with a collection of
exhortative platitudes from the senate president.
Then a parade of personalities specially shined up for
the evening. Nomination speeches: some serious, some sense-less.
A liberal sprinkling of gags. Candidates rise to accept the
nomination with stumbling, sincere thoughts in what seems
appropriately dignified language. The rally closes and students
scatter to the coffee shop, the library, the dormitory. Coming
tests lose appeal before election speculation.
At last the election: No posters in the student center; "Say,
have you voted yet?" More ignorance, more marred ballots.
Again the election board stops the clock. Finally results
posted in the coffee shop. First cabinet meeting, mostly coke
and congratulations.
From somewhere a mournful voice: "Only so many per
cent voted. Disgrace!" Even moralists love elections.
Signing is for Letters
Opinions of all sorts are welcomed in letters to the editor.
However, idealists everywhere must muster personal courage
sufficient to sign their names. As mentioned in previous edi-tions,
names will be withheld upon request at the discretion
of the editor. Names cannot be withheld unless they are sign-ed.
Unsigned letters are not even considered.
Moral of this short and rather sad story: sign all letters
to the editor.

Draws Readers'
Consideration
What happens to the CLARION
after it is delivered to the post
office boxes on Tuesday? Is it
widely read? If so, what are the
most popular features?
To find answers to these ques-tions,
members of the journalism
workshop last week interviewed a
sample of Bethel personnel. In-cluded
were answers from office
staff and maintenance crew as
well as from students and faculty
members in both college and sem-inary.
Findings suggest that up to 80
per cent of the readers look at
news on the front page and that
almost as many, some 73 per
cent, read the sports page. The
least read is "The Index" book
review, skipped without as much
as a glance by more than 70 per
cent of the readers.
Less than half the readers pay
any attention to editorials, but in
contrast some 69 per cent turn to
the "Letters-to-the-editor" column.
Features, such as political commen-tary,
attract only slightly more
than half the readership.
These findings were projected
from a ten per cent sample of the
total Bethel community. Interview
methods followed those developed
by George W. Gallop in readership
studies. Respondents were shown
the previous week's CLARION and
asked to classify their reading of
each item as "none," "glanced, '
"some," or 'all.'
Commenting on the findings,
newspaper advisor Edward Avey
told his workshop students the
figures reflected a typical news-paper
readership, "waiting to be
entertained but not ready to
think too deeply."
"Yet," stressed Avey, "a school
newspaper is more than a bulletin
board. Beyond the task of inform-ing
is the function of challenging
and leading student thought."

Dr. J. Lester Harnish this morn-ing
initiated the seminary fall lec-ture
series with the address, "A
Committed Man." The series con-tinues
tomorrow and Thursday at
10 a.m. in the college auditorium.
It concludes Thursday at 1 p.m. in
the auditorium.
"No challenge could be greater
than the Christian ministry. When
we hear God's call it is heard, an-swered
and served amidst complex-ity,
challenge, despair and faith."
"In the midst of unprecedented
changes, as the last fifty years have
seen, with such stress, strain and
tension upon peoples and things,
the church is found wanting. Mis-sionary
endeavors are proportion-ately
weaker, there is much cyni-cism
among ministers.
"But there is no need for des-pair.
The church is the Body of
Christ. It is that disciplined, wor-shipping,
serving community that
has kept this world from going to
smash. It is the leaven that lea-vens
the lump. The church has a

message of God relevant to our
explosive times.
A minister may fail if he loses
his compassion, or if he compro-mises
with the world, or if his
familiarity with spirituality breeds
contempt. "There is no charmed
circle in which we can hide. Privi-lege
does not spell protection nor
confer security.
"The seeds of destruction lie
within the very task that is so
holy and which we cherish so
greatly. And while we are fondly
hugging the non-essentials, the
veritable essence escapes."
A minister must hate sin,
preaching positively against it with
an urgency and a vehemence. To
strengthen the pulpit there must
be the "loving of the unlovely, the
caring for the dying, the snatch-ing
of the sinner from sin and the
grave."
Faithfulness is the requirement
for stewards of God: faithfulness
to the Lord, to the flock of God,
to the Bible, to our denomination
and to our true selves. "Let us an-swer
God's call with the totality
of our being."

Will the embryonic Bethel cham-ber
orchestra become a reality?
With only three rehearsals to date,
it is difficult to answer this ques-tion.
Credit for the conception of the
idea and expenditure of energy
necessary to start the group is due
to its director, Robert Berglund.
With the poor attendance at
its third rehearsal—undoubtedly
an indication of the general a-pathy
of a minority of members
— it is clear that the Bethel
chamber orchestra may never
develop to performance level un-less
a change in the attitude of
some members occurs.
Backbone of any orchestra is its
string section. Bethel's present or-chestra
has only ten string players
who have attended a rehearsal:
eight violinists, one violist and one
bass violist. Of the approximately
twenty-five strings called for in
the original blueprint of the or-chestra,
fifteen have yet to attend
their first rehearsal.
Of the twenty-two wind and per-cussion
positions needed, five cru-cial
spots remain as yet unfilled.
In an orchestra there is usually
only one player per part in the
wind section. This means that pre-sently
five parts are not being
played. Except for these deficien-cies
the wind section is exceptional
for a school of Bethel's size.
Personnel from off-campus
have been recruited to play since
members of the student body are
unable or in some cases unwill-ing
to fill the necessary positions.
As with all new organizations of
this type on a small campus, the
main problem is circular: without
an orchestra the school does not
attract the necessary personnel;
and without personnel there is no
orchestra.
In this regard it is necessary for
those students on campus who play
the needed instruments to be a-ware
of the problem and to realize
the need of present sacrifice for
the future. Quality and enthusiasm
of present members are high, but
without additional personnel the
future looks dim.
In keeping with the relatively
stronger wind section, the
group's repertoire centers a-round
those pieces which utilize
these instruments to a large ex-tent.
The major works being rehearsed
are Corelli's "Adagio and Allegro"
which gives the woodwinds a
chance to show their stuff; Henry
Purcell's "Trumpet Voluntary"
which features the trumpet sec-tion;
Vivaldi's "Concerto Grosso";
and one of the earliest classical
symphonies, Samnaartini's "Sym-phony
in D Major."
To provide an opportunity for
orchestral experience on Bethel's
campus is the main purpose of the
organization. It will broaden the
musical understanding of both
members and student body by giv-ing
an actual contact with great
symphonic music of the various
music periods.

Both Win Fifth Straight
B-Squad Dumps
Pillsbury 33-0
Bethel B-squad exploded for 26
points in the second half to whip a
hapless Pillsbury team 33-0 Tues-day,
Oct. 8. The Bethel squad, made
up of freshman and first year men,
had little trouble halting the Pills-bury
attack through the first half,
while the offense was primed for
second half action. The game was
coached by assistant coaches Dave
Cox and Bob Smith.
Bethel's only tally in the first
half came on a 50 yard pass inter-ception
run-back by Roger Price.
Price also carried in the point try,
and the score remained 7-0 until
halftime.
The offense began rolling in the
third quarter. Frosh quarterback
Bob Nolin kept on an option and
scampered 30 yards for the second
Bethel touchdown; Nolin complet-ed
a pass to Harvey Zink for the
point. Before the third period end-ed
the Royals had scored again.
This time Nolin climaxed a drive
with a one yard plunge. The try
for the point failed.
Bethel held a commanding 20-0
lead at the end of the third quar-ter,
but were not through yet.
Nolin connected on a 25 pard aer-ial
to Don Bester on a swing pass
for another score. Price again ran
for the extra point.
Bethel climaxed the scoring bar-rage
with a ten yard option run
around end by Larry Schultz. Nolin
connected with Ron Harris for yet
another tally, but a penalty nulli-fied
the score.
A romping victory by the B-squad
gives proof to Bethel's claim
for a stronger bench than in past
years. Last years B-squad was able
to sneak out a 7-6 victory over
Pillsbury.

Group Paddles
On St. Croix
Saturday, 30 Bethel guys and
gals spent the day canoeing on the
St. Croix river. Because the river
was low in spots it was a common
sight to see the occupants wading
in the water trying to dislodge
their canoe from the sandbars.
Screams from near tip-overs and
bursts of song from Miss Starr's
vicinity punctuated the trip. A
water fight and the swamping of
two canoes climaxed the day.

score of the day.
Behind the tremendous passing
and running of quarterback Dave
Buck and the fine receiving of
Bruce Erickson and Clint Stark,
the Jesters romped to their fifth
win of the season against no losses
as they beat the Knights 31-7. The
Knights only score came on a 65
yard pass play from Bill Madsen
to Ed Peterman.
The Peasants bounced back from
last Saturday's defeat at the hands
of the Seminary to beat the Pages
20-2. The Pages were plagued all
day by the Peasant's defensive
play. Their only score came on a
two point safety.
Bob Beckstrom had a big day for
the Counts as he returned a kick
off 75 yards for one touchdown and
galloped 60 yards for another as
the Counts dumped the Dukes 38-
14. The game was close the first
half. But the Dukes, playing with
only four men, ran out of gas in
the second half.

Pioneer College conference, of which Bethel is a member, is a
unique conference with a unique purpose. The conference, in its first
year of operation, maintains that participation in athletics should be
for the enjoyment received from the game.
Article I, section I, of the conference's articles of organization states,
"It shall be a cardinal principle of this conference that all participation
in sports by the members of its teams shall be solely because of interest
in and the enjoyment of the game. No financial aid shall be given to
any student which is conditioned upon his participation in intercolleg-iate
sports."
The three other schools rounding out the conference and holding
to a no-scholarship policy are Northland college of Ashland, Wisc.;
Northwestern college of Minneapolis; and the University of Minnesota,
Morris campus. Northland and Northwestern, along with Bethel, are
former members of the old Badger-Gopher conference.
Jerry Healy, elected chairman of the conference board for the year,
mentioned that even though the initial number of participating institu-tions
may be small, there is hope that other schools with similar athletic
ideals will enter into the conference at a later date.
Trophies will be awarded by the conference for excellence in foot-ball,
tennis, basketball, golf, track and possibly wrestling. The Morris
game on Saturday is the only obstacle left between Bethel and its first
Pioneer conference championship.
Tryouts for the 1963-64 basketball team were begun yesterday and
will continue today in the fieldhouse at 4 p.m. Men who were not in-formed
of the tryouts or could not attend for various reasons are
urged to contact Coach Healy as soon as possible. All men are encour-aged
to exhibit their talents regardess of past experience.
As an added incentive for those of you who aren't sure if you
should try out, the latest word has it that the team will be sporting knee
socks this year. (Try out anyway.)
