"Communism and the Academic
Community," an address by F.B.I.
agent Bernard L. Huelskamp,
opens the second semester convo-cation
schedule on Thursday, Feb.
6, at 10 a.m. in the fieldhouse.
Huelskamp, a native of Kansas,
attended elementary and high
schools in Dodge City and King-man,
Kan. In 1942 he entered the
University of Wichita in Wichita,
Kan., and subsequently attended
Creighton university in Omaha,
Neb., where he received a bachelor
of science degree in commerce in
1949 and a bachelor of laws de-gree
in 1951. He is now a member
of the Nebraska state bar.
From April, 1943, to February,
1946, Huelskamp served in the
United States Army air corps.
He entered on duty as a special
agent with the FBI in June, 1951,
and following a period of training
was assigned to the bureau's Phila-delphia
office. In September, 1952,

Internationals
Form Society
Bethel's International fellowship
has survived all the necessary
red tape and is now ready
to begin its activities. It pre-sents
its first program on
Monday, Feb. 3, in the college
auditorium at 7 p.m.
Headed by David Mbiti, presi-dent
of the fellowship, the commit-tee
has spent many hours thinking
out ways in which the foreign stu-dents
here can contribute positive-ly
to the social life on Bethel's
campus.
"International" was chosen in-stead
of "foreign students" because
it is intended that all students
should feel welcome to join and
to bring off campus friends.
One formal and one informal
meeting is being planned for each
month. At the formal meeting,
films, lively and interesting speak-ers
and exotic music will be offer-ed.
For the informal gatherings,
mixers, conversation-type meetings
and plenty of fun will be the rule.
At their first meeting, the con-stitution
will be read and the aims
and objectives of this fellowship
will be presented. It is hoped that
a film on the Carribean (especially
for those homesick for warmer
climes!) will be available.

Assigned to the FBI headquar-ters
at Washington, D.C. in Octo-ber,

serving in a supervisory
capacity.
College Choir
Offers Album
"Let All the Nations Praise," a
record by the Bethel college choir,
will be released in the Twin cities
in about two weeks. The album
title is the name of the song the
choir sang for the late President
Kennedy during their spring tour
last year.
It is hoped that the record will
reach people who might not ordin-arily
buy a Bethel choir record.
Other selections included in the
record are "The Eyes of All Wait
Upon Thee," "Jesus, Our Savior,
God's Son Incarnate," and a selec-tion
arranged by Robert Berglund,
"No Other Plea."
Berglund, director of the group,
anticipates that this will be the
best college choir record yet pro-duced.
Christian Dynamics is re-leasing
the record on a national
scale.
Twenty-first annual invasion of
the campus by Bethel founders is
due Monday through Friday, Feb.
17 through 24. Meeting to discuss
"The Church's Ministry to a Chang-ing
World," conference attenders
will be challenged with important
questions on the church's ministry
to the contemporary world situa-tion.
Opening the week's activities will
be the traditional banquet on Mon-day
evening at 6 in the fieldhouse.
Changes in the format of the
afternoon meetings will be evi-dent.
Extended and opened to the
entire conference attendance, each
meeting will feature a meeting led
by a Bethel faculty member with
an open forum discussion follow-
Sno-Daze 1964 will reveal a "Win-ter

and a basketball game are planned
festivities.
Friday evening's activities begin
at 8 in Jax restaurant, located at
20 street Northeast and Univer-sity
avenue, Minneapolis. Preced-ing
the banquet the 1964 sno-prin-cess
will be crowned. A puppet
play, "The Cheats of Scapin," a
seventeenth century French com-edy,
will be presented following the
dinner by Dr. Peter Arnott, pro-fessor,
playwright and puppeteer.

Registrar Holds
Tally Cards
Registration will begin tomorrow
with the rush to the registrar's
office to pick up tally cards for
limited courses. All registration by
students presently enrolled at
Bethel should be completed by the
of exam week, Jan. 24. Incoming
students will register on Jan. 28,
the day before classes resume.
Each student should first make
an appointment with his adviser
to work out his schedule. The work
sheet, initialed by the adviser,
must be completed before tally
cards will be issued. It is not
necessary to wait until registra-tion
begins officially to have this
conference with the adviser.
After completing his registra-tion
forms, the student may pre-sent
them at the registrar's office
at any time during office hours
Monday through Friday, Jan. 20 to
24, to obtain his fee statement.
Late fees will be charged against
anyone who does not clear his
statement on or before Wednes-day,
Jan. 29. Previous bills must
be paid before second semester
registration may be completed.
mittee based their final decision
on the following five criteria:
the individual's spiritual commit-ment
to Christ;
"The individual's inclination to-ward
scholarship; the individual's
administrative ability; the individ-ual's
alertness to educational peda-gogy
and current trends in the
field of education;
"The individual's ability to ade-quately
represent the seminary be-fore
the conference and the pub-lic."
Johnson qualifies as dean with
a well diversified background of
educational experience and ac-tive
leadership in the Baptist
General conference.
His formal academic training in-cludes
an A.A. degree from Bethel
junior college; a B.A. degree from
the University of Minnesota with
some work at Harvard; a B.D. de-gree
from Bethel seminary; a Th.
M. degree from Princeton semin-ary;
and a Th.D. degree from Nor-thern
Baptist seminary.
Before assuming the position of
professor of homiletics at Bethel
in 1959, Johnson served in three
conference churches.
He has chaired the conference
board of foreign missions. In ad-dition,
he has been both vice-moderator
and moderator of the
conferences, as well as president
of the board of trustees.

Each year Bethel loses several outstanding prospective
students to other schools. This is nothing to cause great alarm
when qualified by two important statements. There need be
no alarm if the particular individual has received complete
information about opportunities at Bethel. There need be no
alarm if the particular individual has been given a financial
opportunity to attend. However, these two qualifications can-not
always be defended as true.
This year the immediate need for a broad base of finan-cial
support for the new campus has spurred public relations
activity to the most thorough heights in the history of the
school. Every other week The Standard carries news from
Bethel. Newspaper releases, magazine advertisements and at-tractive
posters further spread information. Speakers, gospel
teams and choral groups represent the school in many places.
Just last Saturday another group of church representatives
visited the campus to inspect the facilities.
All of these activities are good and necessary. However,
individual prospective students must also be contacted. The
fact that the conference is relatively small makes personal
contact with outstanding conference high school students
possible. This contact could be made in a number of ways.
Firstly, the public relations department could work through
local church leaders to learn about prospects. Once these
people were discovered an invitation to the campus could
be extended and pertinent information could be mailed.
Secondly, alumni could be called upon to serve as con-tacts
with prospective students. Since they are to some greater
or lesser extent informed about campus activities, all that
seems to be lacking is particular encouragement to use their
information.
Finally, the student senate has a responsibility to seek
ways to inform high school students about Bethel. Last spring
during the senate campaigns several candidates made promises
concerning senate involvement in public relations. No appar-ent
action has been taken. Either this matter has been con-demned
to the sluggish probing of an uncalled committee or
it simply has not been considered. The idea as presented last
year is certainly worthy of better treatment than it has been
given.
Additional expenses found on a private college campus
not encountered at a state-supported institution are a prac-tical
concern for prospective students. Scholarship offers
from other schools often make the decision not to attend
Bethel considerably easier. Although Bethel's program of
assistance for students already on campus is quite extensive,
entrance scholarships for freshmen hardly exist.
Four $500 scholarships are offered Bethel freshmen by
the Baptist General conference' board of bible school and
youth. Several of the district Conference youth organizations
offer smaller scholarships. These are the only formal scholar-ships
available. The result is that many students who could
benefit from experience here and who could make a contri-bution
to the school attend classes elsewhere. As expenses
continue to increase the situation will only become worse.
Measures should be taken to encourage ontstanding indi-viduals
to consider attending Bethel. Even expansion to a
new campus should not interfere with progress in the area of
financial aid. The college should seek additional scholarship
funds, perhaps from industry or a group of industries. Alumni
could be encouraged to sponsor scholarships for needy fresh-men.
Whatever the source of money, it must be realized that
funds must be made available. Bethel cannot afford to lose the
conference's best talent.

Lack of Scholarships

Ziebarth Rates Soviet Schools , ,
by Phil Larson
E. W. Ziebarth, dean of the col-lege
of liberal arts at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota, spoke on "Edu-cation
in a Divided World" in a
Bethel convocation last Thursday.
Ziebarth had recently traveled
10,000 miles throughout Russia.
His lecture was a description
and judgment of the values which
have determined Russia's educa-tional
system as he saw it, in con-trast
to the educational system of
the United States and the values
it supports.
Following an allusion to J. F.
Kennedy's statement that the
Honest to God by John A. T. Robinson.
The Westminister press, Philadelphia. 1963.
$1.65.
by Jim Spiceland
Language and theology have
never really been reconciled since
the divorce that took place at the
tower of Babel. Many honest men
have labored long and hard to
bring about a reconciliation, but
it seems that this goal is never
reached. Bishop Robinson's Honest
to God is a contemporary remin-der
of this sad fact.
Divided into seven chapters, the
book uses an orderly, logical philo-sophical
method in attacking and
tearing down most of the doctrines
and concepts that Christians hold
sacred.
"Reluctant Revolution" is the
misleading heading of the first
chapter. It contains a discussion
Letters:
Dear Editor:
In the last issue of the CLARION
Bill Damberg pointed out what he
felt to be a very critical need —
that being the recruitment of more
ministerial students for static
Bethel seminary.
In my opinion a far greater need
is the adequate placement of the
graduates currently coming out of
our seminary.
I refer Mr. Damberg to the last
two issues of the Bethel Seminary
Quarterly wherein is mentioned the
real need in this area of place-ment.
Though there are few seniors
this year who have as yet decided
to enter our seminary there are, I
have been told, a good number of
underclassmen who are anticipat-ing
training there.
When our seminary graduates
must turn to other denominations
—for instance the Christian and
Missionary Alliance, for places of
service, what may I ask will be
the care of Bethel seminary grad-uates
when it has an increase in
enrollment?
Allen Rogers
Sir:
On the assumption that your
school has a paper (some don't)
we are extending our congratula-tions
to one Paul Goodman, who by
his initiative and fine sense of
fleecing has struck a blow for col-lege
students everywhere. Nothing
gives us more pleasure than to see
the townies take a beating.
On the assumption furthermore
that such imagination might imply
an interesting college and conse-quently
an interesting paper, I en-close
a couple of copies of the
Fenn paper and suggest an ex-change.
Again, congratulations to Mr.
Goodman, who thought Big.

battle between the free world
and the communist bloc will be
won or lost in the classroom,
Ziebarth demonstrated the clash
between the Soviet Union's em-phasis
upon strengthening and
perpetuating the state organi-zation
and the United States'
emphasis upon developing the
individual.
In the U.S.S.R. the rigid authori-tarian
plan of society and the com-pulsive
fetish of productivity seem-ed
to limit what one studies, what
one explores, perhaps even what
one chooses as a vocation; "there
of the philosophical views of the
world and universe in Biblical
times in contrast with the pre-suppositions
of our time which
are based on a more scientific-empirical
view of reality.
Since our world-view is obvious-ly
a superior key to understanding
the mysteries of our existence, the
author reluctantly suggests that
we abandon the Biblical concep-tion
of God if we desire to com-municate
the Christian message.
If the reader finds that speak-ing
of the Christian message
without the Christian God is a
confusion of language, he has
only to read on for further en-lightenment.
True Christianity is not a sup-ranaturalistic
view of life at all.
This misconception is a vestige
of man's more immature years
when he viewed all of the universe
in terms of the home, with "Dad-dy"
always out there in the back-ground.
If we are to get on in our theo-logical
dialogue, we had better
have the courage to face the facts:
the traditional God never existed.
True Christians are atheists! Lan-guage
seems to break down com-pletely,
however, when the Bishop
exhorts ". . . God is teaching us
that we must live as men who can
get along very well without him."
Having done away with these
truths, the Bishop leads us on to
more positive ground. Not hav-ing
found God out there in space,
we had better leave the scien-tists
behind, as they have failed
us. The best men to help us as
we search for God must be the
contemporary theologians, and
Paul Tillich says that God is the
"ground of our being."
Ground of being is an existen-tial
concept, meaning that the
"place" where we are conscious of
ourselves and all of life is God.
If God is the ground of our being,
the being of each of us and all of
us, then the highest thing we can
do is life for others.
This is Christianity, in its pur-est,
deepest, truest form. This is
Christianity understandable to all
ages, says the Bishop. And this
Christianity, if rightly understood
and practiced, will do away with
the need of outmoded legalistic
moral systems as Jesus predicted.
Having discovered the essence
of Christianity, the church will
no longer need most of the tra-ditional
ordinances and sacra-ments.
In fact, maybe someday
the organized church itself will
dissolve.
Evangelical Christians are con-cerned
that they be tolerant of
the theologies of our time. We do
not want to have people categorize
us as fundamentalists. And we
want to be positive and to love.
Robinson's book, however, has
made the gospel so relevant to
the natural man that it is no longer
recognizable.
is no freedom of choice in the
full sense."
Furthermore, efficiency does not
become an end in itself to the Am-erican
industrialist; the United
States is unwilling to reduce its
more basic values for the sake of
efficiency. Indeed, democracy is by
nature less efficient than a totali-tarian
state like that of Nazi Ger-many
or Communist Russia.
The Russian citizen is fitted
into the huge complex where
there is a temptation to be in-terested
only in fulfilling the re-sponsibilities
of a job, where he
knows little about the whole or-ganization
that has engulfed him.
Hunger for education in the
USSR is unmatched; the subway
rider stands with technical book
in hand, an impressive number of
factory workers take correspond-ence
or evening courses, Soviet
parents are anxious for the chil-dren
to receive a good education
in order that they can better them-selves
economically.
Continuing with assorted ob-servations,
Ziebarth noticed that
Soviet teachers are adequately
but not extravagantly paid, with
automatic extra pay for teaching
past the rigidly prescribed
hours. Teachers, not students,
are blamed for poor learning.
Ziebarth considered the close
link between education and party
membership in the Young Octo-berists
or Young Pioneers the most
depressing aspect of Russian edu-cation.
While membership is not
required, social pressure to join is
almost insurmountable.
Ziebarth concluded with a plea
for the lonely thinker, the open-and-
looking skeptic, the disciplin-ed
mind, and the need for a "some-thing
more" that transcends the
mundane superficialities and tech-nicalities
of everyday life, a "some-thing
more" that cannot be de-stroyed
by fear or tragedy, in or-der
that "nations shall speak peace
unto nations."

Students attending Bethel col-lege
band's pops concert Friday
night were rewarded with an even-ing
of relaxing, enjoyable listen-ing.
Quality performances by solo-ists
and featured ensembles gave
evidence of fine musicianship. The
band itself was well prepared and
displayed a commendable degree
of poise in performance. Good bal-ance
and a general facility in
handling varied rhythmical pat-terns
enhanced the music.
Richness of sonority was some-what
hindered by lack of adequate
depth in the low brass. Tonal qual-ity
in the woodwinds was full and
clear, but intonation problems in
the upper ranges and sometimes
sub-par execution of the more dif-ficult
passages detracted from
their otherwise above average per-formance.
Bright tempos, which the band
handled well, gave vitality to a
number of selections, the march-es
in particular.
Henry Purcell's "Trumpet Volun-tary,"
featuring an antiphonal
brass choir, opened the concert.
Following a well-executed concert
march was the refreshingly light-hearted

Today is the posted deadline for
contributions to COEVAL, Bethel's
student literary magazine. COE-VAL
is still an experiment, since
this year's COEVAL is only the
third annual issue.
Purpose of the publication is to
encourage and share student crea-tive
effort in poetry, prose, music
composition or any of the visual
arts. By being an expression of the
art of a Christian community, COE-VAL
is trying to make a contribu-tion
to the larger area of Chris-tian
art.
Is COEVAL succeeding in this
capacity? Many critics of last
year's COEVAL feel that the
publication did not express a
Christian attitude. Is this accu-sation
true? And if it is true
why is it true?
A large portion of the material
contributed to COEVAL is of two

types. One is a type of supposedly
religious poetry that is character-ized
by eighteenth century poetic
diction and religious cliches.
This genre does not qualify as
art at all because of its formal
failures. It makes an even worse
failure of the Christian cause by
supposing that Christians can say
something to the twentieth cen-tury
by emulating Tennyson.
A second type of material the
editor's of COEVAL receive
qualifies at least formally as art.
However, its predominant
themes are meaninglessness and
desperation.
These writers at least see the
problems in our world, but their
conclusions indicate that either
their Christianity is too superficial
to be related to their inner search-ing
or their art is really only a
church. Saturday evening at 8:30
activities move to the women's
lounge of Coffman Memorial union
for a joint recital by tenor Robert
White and harpsichordist Albert

superficial reiteration of common
contemporary conclusions.
True, we share the external
world with our contemporaries and
we have no right to shirk our
share in man's common burden of
evil and grief by pulling the blind-ers
of a Grace Livingston Hill phil-osophy
over our ears and eyes.
But yet, our inner world is
unique—the kingdom of God is
within us. And the message of
this kingdom is a vision of hope.
And the expression of this vis-ion
is the spirit that makes art
Christian art. Why does so little
of the material contributed to
COEVAL express this Christian
vision? Is it the artists or the
vision that is lacking?
The problem is larger than the
Bethel community, it is as large
as the entire Christian community.
COEVAL is an opportunity for ex-pression
for students who are con-cerned
about this problem.
Deadline has been etexnded over
semester break to give the busiest
students time to make a contribu-tion.

from any department — history,

Everyone would pretty well agree that basketball and football are
two sports dissimilar in almost every way. After observing intramural
basketball games over the last few weeks, however, I am inclined to
think the only major difference is the scene of action. Football is
played outside and basketball is played inside.
Minor technical differences include the shape of the ball and the
team goals involved. The ends of the games are different, but the means
used in achievement are remarkably alike. Obviously, I am drawing
parallels where they do not really exist, but what I am trying to get
across is that basketball as played by Bethel's intramural teams is not
really basketball. It is a game of pushing, slapping, hacking and tripping.
Don't get me wrong ... basketball is not a sissy sport. There is
bound to be a certain amount of physical contact when opponents
compete in such close proximity as in basketball, but when continual
contact becomes a matter of course and is virtually ignored, something
is wrong.
There are two solutions to the problem readily at hand. The most
obvious, and the least likely to succeed, lies with the individual. Indi-vidual
players could ease the situation immensely by simply making
an honest attempt to play the game as it was meant to be played. The
most evident weakness of this solution is that most guys are unwilling
to show restraint when confronted with even an accidentally misplaced
elbow. The normal reaction of the abused person is to return the
elbow at the next possible opportunity.
Another solution open, and the most simple of the two, involves
game officiating. Intramural referees, with a few exceptions, seem to
think that because IM basketball has the reputation for being an un-necessarily
rough sport, it must continue to remain as such.
Consistency seems to be the keyword in the solution to the prob-lem.
Far fewer displays of poor sportsmanship will crop up during
a game which has been provided with adequate officials who will call
a game fairly and consistently from the beginning. A lot has been
done as evidenced by the current referee rating system, whereby a
team rates its referee, but there is still much to be desired.
Basketball can be fun when it is played properly. It is up to the
individual to play the game properly, and the referee's job is to make
sure that it is played properly. Is it too much to ask that both referee
and player fulfill their respective obligations?

Royals Place Third in Tourney;
Moore Breaks Scoring Record
Don Moore's 29.2 average dur-ing
the last five games has given
the Royals a 4-1 record since the
Christmas break. They captured
victories over Northland, Eau
Claire, University of Minnesota
(Morris) and Sioux Falls while los-ing
to Central (Ia.) at Orange City,
Ia.
Bethel edged out a 69-61 victory
over Northland on Dec. 14 to be-gin
the five game schedule. Moore
scored 17 of his 19 points in the
second half to overcome a 36-31
halftime deficit. Jerry Moulton and

Wrestlers Split
Last Two Meets
Bethel's grapplers swung into
action Saturday only to be tossed
about by a powerful Michigan
Tech squad 29-8. Michigan Tech
jumped off to an early 11-0 lead
on losses by Bob Baffa, wrestling
for the first time this season, Norm
Holmberg and Wendell Plucker.
Doug King was the first Royal
winner before Tech took 13 more
points, this time at the expense
of Keith Davis, Mike Peterson and
Roger Inouye. Ev Wilkenson pin-ned
his man for five points before
Leroy Nelson succumbed to a Tech
"giant."
St. Paul Bible college was the
victim in a pre-Christmas match
with the Royals held at the Mid-way
YMCA. Wendell Plucker, J.
David Patterson, Keith Davis, Mike
Peterson and Leroy Nelson brought
home the honors for Bethel in the
21-13 win.

Northwestern Christmas Invitation-al
on Dec. 27 and 28. They lost
their opening game to Central

errors with six minutes to go.
Central sank 16.16 on their
free throws to break a Royal
press. They eventually went on
to win the tournament with a
victory over Northwestern (Ia.).
"Big Don" set a new Royal scor-ing
record and a new tournament
record as he scored 46 points to
lead the Royals in a revenge vic-tory
over Morris. Over the past
five games Moore has had a 61%
shooting average and leads the
Royals with a 19.6 scoring average,
51% shooting average and 147 re-bounds
in season statistics.
Moulton scored 17 points against
Morris as the Royals captured a
44-36 halftime lead. Dennis Clau-sen
and Virgil Smith scored 16
and 14 points respectively for Mor-ris
but were never able to catch
the high scoring Royal attack.
Freshman Dave Bjorkland's
sparkling ball handling and
Don Moore's 35 points gave
Bethel a 82-69 victory over Sioux
Falls. Bob Pickert's 17 points led
Sioux Falls to a 13-12 lead with
six minutes gone, but the Roy-als
captured the lead on Moore's
layup to surge to a 52.35 half-time
lead.
Bethel's victory over Northland
put them in a tie for first place
in the Pioneer conference with
Morris, both having 2-1 records.

After being idle for almost a
month during Christmas vacation,
the ten team intramural basketball
league returned to action with a
full schedule of games. The Fac-ulty

this past week.
Featuring a well balanced scor-ing
attack consisting of Dave Cox
