Edward W. J. Avey, 48 year old
English instructor at Bethel, died
last Sunday at 11 a.m. His death
unexpectedly followed his return
home from several weeks in the
hospital after apparent improve-ment
in his condition.
His funeral was held this after-noon
in the fieldhouse, where
Founders week guests, faculty and
students paid final respects. Rev.
Warren Magnuson, pastor of Cen-tral
Baptist church where Avey
was a member, and Dr. Carl H.
Lundquist, president of Bethel col-lege
and seminary, officiated at
the rites. He was buried in Rose
Lawn cemetery.
Memorials given in memory of
Mr. Avel will be given to a for-eign
missions field selected by
his widow.
Mr. Avey was born in Swanmore,
Hantz, England. There he demon-strated
interest in journalism as a
reporter for the Midsessex Times
and the Banbury Advertiser.
During World War II he was a
major in the British army in India,
where he met his wife, the former
Seventeen students participated in
student senate's open forum. Eight
of the seventeen were senators. The
forum opened with a mock debate
revealing the issues of the topic to
be discussed—whether or not the
chairmen of the standing commit-tees
should be elected or appoint-ed.
Bob Beckstrom opened the de-bate
arguing against the election
of the chairmen. He pointed out
problems which he believed to ex-ist
under the status quo and stated
Elna Forsell of St. Paul, then a
Baptist missionary to India.
Mr. Avey joined the Bethel
faculty in 1961 after pastoring
the Haller Lake Baptist church
The late Edward W. J. Avey
in Seattle. As an ordained Bap-tist
minister he had held pas-that
an election plan would have to
alleviate these problems.
June Erickson then presented a
plan where these chairmen would
be elected during the class elec-tions.
She also showed how this
plan would solve the problems
stated by Beckstrom.
Dave Johnson spoke next. He
presented the second half of Beck-strom's
argument against the pro-posal
to have the chairmen elect-ed.
He pointed out that the prob-lems
could also be solved by a re-form
of the present system, though
the possibility for abuse would still
be there. Dave Wedeking summed
up the affirmative stand.
After the debate the discussion
was opened up to the fifteen-mem-ber
audience. A few questions were
put forth and the forum ended
with a suggestion that Bethel in-stitute
a conservative club for
those who take a conservative
stand on every issue.
Ten Men Open
Honor House
Assistant dean of students Eu-gene
Sprinkel announced that
Bethel is experimenting with a
new concept in housing this sem-ester.
This experiment provides a
home where a small group of
upperclassmen may live.
The honor house, in which ten
men live, is self-governing with no
adult supervision—"except that it's
next door to Dr. Finlay's."
If this first honor house is suc-cessful
others may be opened for
fellows in the future. Next year
cooking facilities might be install-ed
so the home could become a
cooperative.
torates in Stockholm, Sask. and
Victoria, B.C.
Before teaching at Bethel, Mr.
Avey taught journalism and church
history at King's Garden Bible in-stitute,
Seattle, Wash. At Bethel he
taught courses in composition and
journalism.
His interest and experience in
journalism qualified him as adviser
to the CLARION and the SPIRE.
He also served as advising member
of the Canadian club.
Mr. Avey received his B.A.
from the University of Minne-sota,
his B.D. from Bethel Theo-logical
seminary, and his M.A.
from the University of Washing-ton.
Surviving are his wife, Elna; a
son, Malcolm; a daughter, Margot;
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
G. Avey, Bishops, Waltham, Hamp-shire,
England; and a sister, Mrs.
Noel B. Jones, Manchester, Eng-land.
Chris Weintz, chairman of the
English department, has expressed
the bereavement of the campus in
these words:
"Each of us, I am sure, shares
the feeling of loss at the passing
of Mr. Edward Avey. We who work-ed
side by side with him thank
God for the blessing and intellect-ual
stimulation that was ours be-cause
of his work.
"Our greatest tribute to him is
the fruition of the best things im-planted
in us by him."
We of the CLARION wish to
echo these words.

Even Welcome Guests Election Would Solve Problems
Disrupt Academic Life
Founders week is here again, continuing a 20-year tra-dition
of mid-February, week-long meetings at Bethel. Begun
in 1943 as an extended version of the earlier Founders day
celebrations (held on Alexis Edgren's birthday, February 20),
the annual event has grown considerably. This year the regis-tered
guests number 850, with visitors at some sessions mak-ing
the total still higher. At the same time the enrollment in
both the college and seminary has increased to the present
966 total.
Size has not been the only aspect of the week to change.
The program has changed from a more or less intramural affair
to a conference addressed by some of the country's outstand-ing
evangelical spokesmen. At the same time the college has
changed from a generally preministerial junior college to a
fully accredited liberal arts institution offering several majors
in addition to preministerial training. The end result of this
is that the week is still of spiritual benefit, but the sessions
have lost some of their close ties with classroom work.
Large numbers of guests and virtually constant sessions
have disruptive effects on college life. Edgren dormitory
holds nearly 50 more residents than usual this week.
Hagstrom dormitory doubles as the nursery. Long lines clog
the dining hall. Congestion makes it even more impossible
to walk through the post office and student center after
chapel. Morning, afternoon and evening sessions wheedle
away study time. Professors are involved in sessions and
activities to the extent that class preparation time is often
cut short. All in all, academic life is virtually impossible dur-ing
Founders week.
Holding Founders week during the semester break offers
solutions to virtually all of the problems now plaguing the
event. With no classes, students would be free to take more
active part in the sessions. Perhaps sessions could be planned
particularly for the college students, concentrating instruction
ill camp counseling or youth group advising and information
about Baptist doctrine and Conference history into the week's
schedule. Some students would understandably use the ex-tended
break as a vacation, leaving additional space for guests
and partially alleviating the crowding problem.
This alternative is so obvious that it has been suggested
many times. Of course, there are those who object to the
change. The arguments for moving the week to the end of
January seem to be more persuasive than those for leaving
things as they are, however. Those who argue that the change
would not give the guests a chance to see college in session
do not recognize that the picture seen during Founders week
is anything but ordinary. Most of the guests do not get a
chance to visit any of the college classes, and the presence
of so many visitors certainly distorts all other aspects of col-lege
life.
Those who contend that holding Founders week during
the semester break would make it difficult to find student
participants for the programs can speak only from conjec-ture.
If asked in advance, students could very easily plan
to spend the break on the campus. Those who speculate
that the change would keep some people from attending,
in favor of bringing a son or daughter on the campus home,
also speak from conjecture. Since the break comes only three
weeks following Christmas vacation, it does not seem likely
that this would be an important factor.
College faculty members have declared themselves in
favor of the change. Each year some of the students suggest
moving Founders week to the semester break. Since the week
is planned by the administration and attended by the consti-tuency,
these two groups must take the decisive action. The
change deserves careful consideration. The CLARION will
publish letters on either side of the issue.
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
Dear Editor:
Last week at the class meetings
and at the senate open forum the
senate discussed selecting the
standing committee chairmen by
election by the student body ra-ther
than by appointment by the
student senate.
Very few students attended the
discussions. Therefore, I am writ-ing
this letter to explain why I
think that the chairmen of the
academic, athletic, cultural, relig-ious
and social committees should
be elected.
There are three reasons for my
position. The first is that elec-tion
of these five senators would
give the students a broader rep-
Gleuck Finds
Copper Mines
by Dr. Anton Pearson
Dr. Nelson Gleuck, rabbi, archae-ologist,
author and president of
Hebrew Union college, Cincinnati,
related to a capacity crowd at Mac-alester
college convocation on
Thursday, Jan. 23, the thrilling ac-count
of his discovery of King
Solomon's copper mines.
In locating archaeological sites
and data, Gleuck's chief tool is
the Bible. While the archaeologist
is not interested in proving the
Bible, "no well understood state-ment
in the Bible is contradicted
by archaeological discovery," he
declared.
After noting the allusion to
mineral resources available to
Israel (Deut. 8:9), he studied
every Biblical passage relating
to copper, iron, and the Kenites
("smith"). The rift of the Wady
Arabah, extending from the
Dead Sea to the Red Sea, seem-ed
to fit the required location.
A settlement must have water—
a spring, well, or cistern. Every
road and path in Palestine leads to
ancient sites. Even destroyed cities
can be identified and dated by
pottery fragments extracted from
tells—the flat mounds containing
remains of buried cities.
Styles of pottery change with
each generation and thus a pot-tery
chronology has been empiri-cally
determined, more exact than
carbon 14 with its span of 200
years plus or minus.
Gleuck paid high tribute to his
mentor, the world-renowned Dr.
Kenneth Albright, and also to
his Arab guides in the Negev,
south of Beersheba. The latter
led him to the unidentified
KHIRBET NAHAS, "copper
ruin," where Gleuck saw heaps
of slag, fragments of ore, and
remnants of ancient smelters.
An open end copper refinery was
stationed to take advantage of the
strong northwest winds. Pottery
dated the settlement from the time
of Solomon to the sixth century
before Christ.
South of the mines, Gleuck dis-covered
Solomon's sea port, "Ezion
Geber which is beside Elath on the
shore of the Red Sea in the land
of Edom." (I Kings 9:26).
He had maintained from Bibli-cal
data that the Negev must
have been habitable. His discov-ery
of 500 sites dating from the
fourth millinium before Christ
through the Byzantine period
(including 300 Byzantine church.
es) confirmed his view.
"The Holy Land is not an ordin-ary
land," said Dr. Gleuch. "It is
the land where God walked and
revealed himself to those percep-tive
enough to sense Him."
resentation on the senate. Under
the present constitution the
standing committee chairmen are
appointed by the senate, yet
these appointed senators have
the same voting rights as the
elected representatives.
Of course one can say that since
the five chairmen are appointed
by representatives of the student
body, the chairmen are picked
democratically and do represent
the student body. But this system
of appointment moves the choice
one step away from the will of
the student body.
Historically this kind of indirect
representation has resulted from
a distrust of the people to make
wise decisions. Since Bethel is an
academic community, it is hard to
justify indirect representation for
the reason that the students are
not capable of making wise deci-sions.
The second reason I favor elec-tion
is that it would give the
students a voice in planning cam-pus
life.
The five committee chairmen
plan and control most of campus
life. They have more influence on
individual students than any other
branch of the senate. Yet the stu-dents
have the least to say about
who these chairmen are or what
kind of campus life they plan.
If the committee chairmen were
elected by the student body, the
students would have some influ-ence
on the kind of person who
plans campus life and the kind of
life he plans for the next year.
The third reason I support the
election of committee chairmen
is that the election would bring
the senate closer to the student
body and improve communica-tion
between the government
and the governed.
Presently the student body does
not take much interest in student
government. Election would not
solve all of the communication
problems of the senate, but the re-sponsibility
of electing the plan-ners
of campus life should create
a greater need than is now felt by
the students to know about the sen-ate.
Although some of the evils of
appointment might be eliminated
by other means than election of
committee chairmen, a revised sys-tem
of appointment would not in-sure
the permanent elimination of
the shortcomings evident in the
senate.
It would not improve the repre-sentation
of the student body on
the senate, nor would it improve
communication between the sen-ate
and the student body. Election
would be one step toward solving
these problems permanently.
June Erickson
'Honest to God' Isn't
Dear Editor:
As a believer in the orthodox
philosophy of the Christian church,
I wish to declare some irrelevan-cies
and errors that constituted
Dean Woodard's and Linden Nel-son's
rebuttals to Jim Spiceland's
review of Honest to God.
First, Bishop Robinson's "grow-ing
concern," "perspective of criti-cal
analysis of over 200 years," and
"two drastic wars" is irrelevant in
judging whether his metaphysics,
as exposited in Honest to God, are
intrinsically consistent or consis-tent
with the revelation of God
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Dean Woodard's insertion of Rob-inson's
niceties is redundant to an
objective evaluation of the book.
Second, our orthodox theology
was not "hatched on the hot end
of the middle ages." The formu-lation
of our theology began in
the early church with Judaic
background, Hellenistic scholar-ship,
and the inspiration of the
Holy Spirit; prime examples are
the writings of Paul and Augu-stine.
Evangelical orthodox theology
was later rejuvenated by the testi-mony
of Luther, the writings of
Calvin, and the activities of Wes-ley.
None of the mentioned church-men
lived on "the hot end of the
Middle ages."
Third, the world does not need
a gospel "that will live with real-ity"
(it already has Tillich). Ra-ther,
the world and the Church
need the gospel of revelation that
gives meaning to reality.
Fourth, Linden Nelson's open-ing
question "Is Christianity a
matter of what one believes or
of the way a person acts?" is a
misleading "either/or" question.
Christianity cannot be summar-ized
into whatever Nelson, I, or
anyone believes or does. Christian-ity
is more a matter of a consis-tent
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Fifth, the value of the belief is
not determined by the deeds. Our
Lord made this explicit when he
commanded the people to follow
in the faith of the scribes and
Pharisees, but not to follow their
ethical practice (Matt. 23:1-3).
Deeds serve as evidence to and
measures of our faith, not as de-terminants
(James 2:18).
"Honest to God" begins with
Robinson's presuppositions and
ends with Robinson's conclu-sions.
Bishop Robinson begins by
trying to convince us that our
"Traditional Christian theology
has been based upon proofs for
the existence of God. (up there)"
He then quixotically attacks that
"God up there" concept and scoffs
the New Testament doctrine of the
Incarnation with such statements
as "He looked . . . talked . . . felt
like a man, but underneath he was
God dressed up — like Father
Christmas . . .
"Are we to cling here to this
last vestige of the mythological
or metaphysical world-view as the
only garb in which to clothe story
with power to touch the imagina-tion?"
Honest to God is Bishop
Robinson at his best . . . and
Christianity at its worst.

"Sort of hidden away" in the
basement of the library is one of
Bethel's oldest and most gracious
employees, Rev. Joseph Tanquist.
A graduate of the 1909 Swedish
Baptist seminary class of Morgan
Park, Ill. and veteran missionary
to India, he is now working with
the archives of the Baptist Gen-eral
conference.
Work of an archivist involves a
variety of things. Most important
it seems is a "mind to see what
will be important" both now and
in the future.
Tanquist's duties include gen-eral
sorting and classifying of
thousands of historical materials
the conference has at Bethel. For
about four years he has been
compiling a "Preliminary Guide-book"
listing the contents in
each drawer for future refer-ence.
Sorted and arranged shelf by
shelf, the collections range from
the personal correspondence of Dr.
Hagstrom to 1921 CLARIONS to
graduation pictures of the class
of 1885.
"Many of the old books and
manuscripts are in Swedish," he
explained. Volumes of the Nys
Wecks Posten, and Svenska Stan-daret
fill the shelves. In 1940 the
combination Swedish-English Stan-dard
"presented itself."
Doing some work on his own
time, Tanquist made an English
translation of a diary of the
Swedish pioneer F. 0. Nilsson
that covers the years from 1856
to 1865.
"The translation work is right
up my alley," he smiled. "I fooled
around some with language when
I was in India." The Tanquists
served with the American Baptists
in the Naga Hills from 1912 to
1948.
Centennial tapes, files from each
of the conference churches (some
now extinct), annuals from the
Baptist General conference dating
back to 1888 fill several shelves.
Hundreds of old Sunday school
papers ("Our Little Folks,"
"Youth Today"), unpublished
manuscripts and diaries of some
of the early men of the confer-ence,
minutes from early plan-ning
sessions, records from the
seminary and college, old scrap-books—
all these are part of the
Bethel archives and part of Tan-quist's
responsibility
"When I look back, it looks like
a lot of work," Tanquist laughed,
"but when you're in it, it doesn't.
When I'm down here the time flies;
it's never wearisome."
The purpose behind his work is
this: to conserve the history of the
Baptist General conference, its
background and historical matters
of interest to coming generations.
"There are probably more classi-cal
definitions," Tanquist said, "but
the CLARION Page 3
I think the archives are for re-search
on the part of any respon-sible
person." They are open by
request to such a person.
Does he enjoy the work "sort of
hidden away?" "Indeed, indeed,"
he says with the usual Tanquist
twinkle in his eye.
Seniors Attend
English Event
Representing Bethel at the ninth
annual conference for English ma-jors
in Minnesota private colleges
held last weekend at Macalester
college were five seniors: Elizabeth
Carlson, Marcia Cecil, Carole Lund-quist,
Joan McNaughton and Karen
Neslund.
This year's program, organized
around the works of Joseph Con-rad,
featured presentation of pap-ers,
discussion groups, speakers
and an opportunity to meet stu-dents
from the fifteen colleges rep-resented.
Main address of the conference
was given on Friday evening by
Paul L. Wiley, professor of English
at the University of Wisconsin.
His topic was Conrad: the Sense
of the Story."
Bethel's participants discussed
"Destiny in Lord Jim—Conquered
or Conquering?" on Saturday mor-ning.
A luncheon at 1 p.m. in the
student union cafeteria officially
closed the conference.
Participating schools included
Augsburg, Bethel, Carleton, Con-cordia,
Gustavus Adolphus, Ham-line,
Macalester, St. Benedict's, St.
Catherine's, St. John's, St. Mary's,

Seminary Guest
Explains Work
by Don Delich
Last Wednesday, Feb. 19, the
seminary was privileged to hear
Bruce Olson, an independent mis-sionary
to Venezuela and Colum-bia.
Olson, now a veteran mission-ary
with three years of experience,
is only 22 years old.
He graduated from Central high
school in St. Paul at 16 and re-ceived
his B.A. from the Univer-sity
of Minnesota at 19. He is con-versant
in Greek, Latin, Spanish
and Sanskirt, as well as being
familiar with other dialects.
Olson has chosen to work in
one of South America's most
dangerous fields. He works inde-pendently
and without support
among the Indian tribes in the
mountains between the western
border of Venezuela and Colum-bia.
He has utilized some ingen-ious
methods to make friends
with the hostile Indians in this
territory.
Motile Indians, one of the four
main tribes in the territory, have
killed 585 American oil company
men who have tried to negotiate
with them for permission to tap
some of the rich sources of oil in
their tribal territory.
No one has even been able to
enter this territory and return
alive except Olson. He related story
after story of God's providence in
protecting his life as he entered
the hostile territory without any
weapons for defense.
Olson has now become a repre-sentative
to the Food and Agri-culture
Organization in the Uni-ted
Nations from the Gajira, Ara-wak
and Yuko tribes in Vene-zuela
and Columbia. This job
came by appointment from the
presidents of the two countries,
Romulo Betancourt of Venezuela
and Leon Valencid of Columbia.
Upon his return to his field Ol-son
will begin to reduce the Moti-lone
language to writing. His even-tual
goal is to give the Bible to the
people in their own language.
He works among the people in a
three-fold program which he has
personally organized; 1) to make a
medical doctor of the witch doctor,
2) to teach the chiefs modern agri-cultural
methods, 3) to teach read-ing
and writing to the tribes.
Olson will answer mail address-ed
to his station at Apartado 248,
Maracay, Venezuela, South Amer-ica.

Speaking with a British accent
that betrayed his English back-ground,
Stephen F. Olford began
a series of Founders week chapel
messages on the theme for the
week, "The Ministry of the Church
in a Changing World," yesterday
morning.
Although he sees the local
church as the interest of Christ in
the world, Olford said, "My mes-sage
is addressed to individuals."
The individual must face the
changing world with its political
revolutions, its theological revalua-tion
and scientific breakthroughs
in a relationship to the local church
not as a "free lance" Christian.
How does the individual Chris-tian
meet the challenge of a
changing world? "With the lib-erty
of the Holy Spirit," said Ol-ford.
The Christian need not fear
the changing world if he has the
liberty of the Spirit filled life.
But how may a Christian know
ehe liberty of the Holy Spirit? 01-
ford answered this question from
his text, II Cor. 3:17, "Where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty."
The Christian may know the lib-erty
of the Holy Spirit if the Spirit
is a resident in his life and the
ruler of his life. Olford clarified
the meaning of the residence of
the Spirit by adding that the in-dwelling
Spirit does more than
merely incense or influence the
life.
The Holy Spirit rules the
Christian's life if the life does
not grieve the Spirit with sin,
if it does not quench the Spirit
with self interest and if it is
filled with the Spirit.
When the Holy Spirit is the
resident and the ruler of an indi-vidual's
life, that person need not
fear the threat of a changing world,
because he can meet the world
with the Spirit's originality, spon-taneity
and relevancy.
A Spirit filled Christian has lib-erty
— "power to do what you
ought" — to make the timeless
message of Christ original, spon-taneous
and relevant to the chang-ing
world of today. The Spirit of
God is not fixed to time and cul-ture.
by Paul R. Johnson
In the midst of Founders week
1964 we are once again being re-minded
of the unique relationship
of interdependence between the
Christian academic community and
the constituency which has found-ed
and supports it.
Solutions to the problems of mis-understanding
and tension which
arise out of this relationship are
not always easily arrived at. An-swers
lie in the application of cer-tain
Christian attitudes��namely,
mutual trust, acceptance of respon-sibility
and prayerful confidence
in the ability of God to lead the
Church.
As applied to the academic
community, this implies an ac-tive
respect for the tradition that
has given it birth and fostered
it. Founders week brings into
focused recall Bethel's heritage
of dedicated men of God who
were intent on bringing the Gos-pel
to a needy world.
A similar commitment must be
reflected on Bethel's campus. The
goal of the individual, as of the
institution, is not to be intellect-ual
keenness as such. Rather it is
equipment for God's service in
whatever vocation is followed.
An academic community enters
into intense spiritual and intellect-ual
struggle with Biblical and
extra-Biblical truth. Variance from
the tradition of the constituency
may arise from this struggle in
areas of practice and belief.
Though convinced of his con-clusion
and desiring to remain
true to his own conscience, the
academician cannot dismiss the
dissent of the constituency light-ly.
He must keep in mind his
loyalty to the fundamental pro-positions
which are his inheri-tance—
namely, the ultimate au-thority
of God's revelation as
borne witness to in the Scrip-tures,
the centrality of allegiance
to Jesus Christ as Savior and the
personal holiness of the believ-er's
life.
Turning to the application of
these principles to the constituency
and supporters of the academic
community, certain guidelines arise
to direct their attitudes.
As regards academic freedom, it
must be recognized that the study
of non-traditional ideas and philo-sophies
does not imply acceptance
of them. A knowledge of differ-ing,
sometimes opposing, views is
essential to the intellectual growth
of the Christian who wishes to un-derstand
and reach the world with
the Gospel.
Just as the academic commun-ity
must respect the position of
the constituency, so a reciprocal
respect must be evidenced. The
Christian Gospel never changes;
but its expression and applica-tion
do.
In our complex and rapidly
changing world, new expression of
Christian truth ought not to be
stifled. It should be accepted as
the evidence of this generation's
dedicated attempts to make its
message relevant to its needy
world. It is an expression of the
same spirit of its spiritual fore-fathers.
Depths of Scriptures have yet a
long way before being fully plumb-ed.
Much is yet to be discovered in
the understanding of the Biblical
revelation. New ideas that arise
from the academic community
should be examined as to the light
they may shed on the gospel mes-sage.
They must be judged not on
their conformity to tradition alone,
but on their relation to the funda-mental
principles mentioned above.
The constituency rightly de-mands
leadership from its aca-demic
community, but it also
needs to be willing to accept it.
Trust is the essential ingredient
here—trust in the dedicated fac-ulty
to guide the students cor-rectly,
trust in the students'
commitment to Christian truth
even in varying application, and
trust in God to lead to truth and
keep from error.
To this academic arm the church
has delegated the task of ascer-taining
Christian truth and giving
it application in our world. The
constituency is defeating itself if
it will not accept the leadership of
the community it has set apart for
that purpose.
Misunderstanding and tension
may never fully be erased on
either side. But it can be greatly
allayed. The academic community
has responsibility to maintain the
spirit and essential truths of its
predecessors. The constituency
must trust the school to search out
relevant expressions and new in-sights
which will strengthen all
our Christian lives.
SPAN Opens
1965 Tours
Applications for SPAN (Student
Project for Amity among Nations)
for the summer of 1965 are due
Sunday, March 15, for Chile, Yugo-slavia,
Thailand and Egypt.
SPANners are chosen in the
spring, a year before going abroad.
In the fall, each country group,
with the guidance of a faculty ad-viser
who will accompany it to the
foreign country, plans a prepara-tory
program for the year.
Groups meet regularly to study
the history, way of life, current
problems and language of their
countries. All groups meet to-gether
several times during the
year for briefing in American
political and social problems.
Each student does preliminary
work on his study project which,
when completed, will bring him
academic credit. Each also makes
advance "contacts" in his host
country.
Upon reaching his host country
in June, each SPANner spends
eight weeks or more working on
his project. He holds interviews,
visits appropriate institutions,
makes documentary investigations
and lives with families.
Upon returning home, the
SPANner organizes his summer's
work to prepare for his project
report, due the following March.
A student earns 8 semester cre-dits
upon satisfactory completion
of his project. The project is an
accredited upper division gradu-ate-
level course at the University
of Minnesota.
Bethel is one of eight Minnesota
colleges participating in SPAN. Ap-plications
are available from Dr.
Walfred Peterson.

the seminary, has been selected to succeed Omark, subject to approval
of the conference annual meeting in June.
The God of Abraham Praise
The God of Abraham praise, who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days, and God of love.
Jehovah, great I AM, by earth and heaven confessed;
I bow and bless the sacred Name, forever blest.
The God of Abraham praise, at whose supreme command
From earth I rise, and seek the joys at His right hand.
I all on earth forsake, its wisdom, fame, and power;
And Him my only portion make, my shield and tower.
He by himself hath sworn, I on His oath depend;
I shall, on eagles' wings upborne, to heaven ascend;
I shall behold His face, I shall His power adore,
And sing the wonders of His grace forevermore.
The whole triumphant host give thanks to God on high;
"Hail, Father, Son and Holy Ghost!" they ever cry.
Hail, Abraham's God and mine! I join the heavenly lays;
All might and majesty are Thine, and endless praise.

Obstacle, Goal, Challenge Mark
Relation of Church, Education
Editor's note: The following is
a cutting of the address "The,
Evangelical Church and Higher
Education," delivered by Dr.
Robert Mounce at the annual
historical banquet Monday even-ing.
by Robert Mounce
Bethel college will always to
some extent be different things
to different people. However, the
dominating motif of our school will
be what we, the constituency of
the Baptist General conference,
determine it should be. For this
reason it is up to us to articulate
with clarity the essential relation-ship
between the evangelical
church and higher education.
What is this relationship? I main-tain
that we have a major ob-stacle
to overcome, a significant
goal to achieve, and an exhilerat-ing
challenge to meet.
Reduced to its simplest form,
the great obstacle is that reti-cence
to give up the idea that
scholarship and piety are mutu-ally
exclusive.
It is high time that we do away
with the distorted notion that God
places a premium on ignorance.
Not only does the Bible fail to
place a premium on ignorance, but
it teaches that we have an obliga-tion
to think: "You shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul, and with all
your strength, and with all your
mind."
If, then, the intellect can serve
the glory of God, what is the goal
toward which the Christian col-lege
should be moving? As a con-ference,
what should be our image
of the "educated man?"
Let me bring into focus three
of his essential qualities. In the
first place, he is a man who has
developed the habit of inquiry.
In order to be a student, one
must ask questions—not ques-tions
which simply invite auth-oritative
answers, but questions
which constantly test the valid-ity
of all proposed answers.
A second characteristic is the
power of discernment. There is an
urgency about life because the
larger issues which shape and mold
the destiny of man cannot be learn-ed
by trial and error.
To develop the student's capa-city
for rational judgment is one
of the college's supreme responsi-bilities.
Its role is to open up the
various possibilities, allow the stu-dent
the conflict of personal en-
Bethel's YGOP held a special
meeting last Thursday, Feb. 13.
Called as a result of the lengthy
discussion at their meeting a week
earlier, the group met to specifi-cally
consider the Civil rights bill.
Bill Swenson headed the commit-tee
that had been delegated to
study the civil rights legislation
now before the congress. Greg von
Rothkirch and Barbara Rusche
were the other members.
After considerable discussion,
the following resolution was
adopted:
WHEREAS: The present denial
of freedoms to negroes is unjust
and deplorable,
WHEREAS: Present civil rights
legislation is now inadequate,
WHEREAS: Although the ex-tension
of federal power as pro-vided
under the provisions con-gagement,
yet stand by for guid-ance
and direction.
If true discernment is the goal,
we cannot sacrifice intellectual
honesty for a biased presenta-tion
of the major alternatives.
Nor can we set the student a-drift
on the sea of possibilities
without direction or rudder.
What Whitehead has called "the
habitual vision of greatness" is a
third quality of the educated man.
There must be constant exposure
to great ideas. These are the trans-forming
experiences which lie at
the center of meaningful educa-tion.
It would seem that this is the
place where Christian higher edu-cation
has its greatest opportunity.
The Biblical point of view regard-ing
man is not that he is a fortui-tous
arrangement of matter whose
uniqueness lies in a remarkable
nervous system, but the climax of
God's creative activity. Man's great-ness
is his potential to reflect the
Infinite.
An obstacle to overcome, a
goal to achieve, and now — a
challenge to meet. It is no exag-geration
to say that we have en-tered
a new era of human his-tory
qualitatively distinct from
all ages past. It is the tremen-dous
acceleration in acquiring
knowledge and applying it to
technology which charterizes our
twentieth century.
How will evangelical higher edu-cation
respond to the challenge of
exploding knowledge'? We who be-lieve
so strongly that moral edu-cation
must keep step with tech-nological
progress — that man's
greatest need is to be, not simply
cerning public accommodations
and employment is undesirable,
WHEREAS: The urgency and
gravity of the situation demands
immediate action,
WHEREAS: Initiating and pro-cessing
a new bill is impractical
considering the need for quick and
practical action,
to do or have—how will we respond
to the challenge of tomorrow?
The question demands an answer
and the answer lies with us. Let
us really believe that a mind honed
razor sharp by excellence in edu-cation
coupled with a heart aglow
with the love of God is the finest
contribution we can make to so-ciety
in our day.
WHEREAS: Human rights and
the urgency of the situation take
preeminence over the above stat-ed
undesirable aspects of the
bill.
RESOLVED: The Bethel YGOP
Club on this thirteenth day of Feb-ruary,
1964 urges the passage of
the Civil Rights bill.

in the first half and Nelson, also
with 19, led the Bethel scorers.
Dave Bjorklund and Palke each
added 14 points.
Monday night Bethel traveled to
Moorhead and lost 87-67. Moor-head
Saturday suffered a 97-67 de-feat
by St. Cloud which is in the
Northern States Athletic confer-ence
with Bemidji, Winona and
other Minnesota state colleges.
Moorhead has two fine players
in Pete Lysaker, who averages 87
per cent at the free throw line,
and John Wermager. They run a
1-3-1 offense and a tight man to
man defense which has earned
them a even won and loss record
in the tough conference.
Tomorrow afternoon Bethel
entertains Northland in the
Founders week basketball game.
The game starts at 4 and promi-ses
to be good, since the Pioneer
conference title is on the line.
Bethel, in an earlier encounter
with Northland, came from a 36-31
halftime disadvantage to capture
a 69-61 victory at Northland.
Royal co-captains Bolinder and
Olson have watched a lot of bas-ketball
this season, adding an im-pressive
amount of experienced
height to the bench. Freshman
Bjorklund and sophomore Ed
Peterman relieve the regular
guards.
Bethel uses a patterned of-fense
built around 6'11" Moore.
The defense, usually a sagging
zone, has been quite effective.
Dennis Tiziani and Bob Hammon
have led the Northland attack this
year. Northland owns a 2-2 record
in the Pioneer conference.
Bethel entertains Jamestown (N.
Dak.) on Saturday night as it tries
to preserve its first winning sea-son
in three years. Coach Jerry
Healy has recovered from his op-eration
and returned to lead the
Royals against Moorhead.
After having a perfect won-lost
record in football this past fall,
the Jesters pulled the trick again
as they captured another intra-mural
crown with a perfect 9-0 re-cord.
They put the frosting on the
cake Thursday night by dumping
the Faculty 62-40. Dave Buck and
Dale Pearson led the scoring for
the Jesters with 23 and 16 respec-tively.
Dave Cox had 16 for the
Faculty.
Counts took over sole posses-sion
of second place by handing
the Seminary their third defeat
65-62. The loss knocked the Sem-inary
out of the second place
standing they had last week.
Paul Wicklund and Obinger were
high for the Counts with 22 and
21 respectively and Maury Sim-mons
had 20 for the Seminary.
Dukes handed the Squires their
ninth straight defeat by dumping
them 63-52. John Dickau with 18

Coming from behind in the sec-ond
half, the Peasants defeated the
Pages 60-53. The win put the Pea-sants
in a three way tie for fourth
place. Jerry Wahlstrom with 21
and Paul Wedeking with 15 led
the Peasants. Jim Nelson and
Duane Johnson both had 20 for the
Pages.
With the score sea-sawing back
and forth several times, the
Knights finally out-lasted the
Barons 80-75. The Knights, who
have really come around in the
last three games, were led by
Dick Thompson with 24 points
and Stan Miller with 19. Paul
Nelson and Larry Stair led the
Barons with 21 and 19 respec-tively.
Volleyball is on slate next and
handball and paddleball should be
starting soon after Founders week.
B-Squad Holds
3-3 Record
Bethel "B" squad evened its
record at 3-3 as it lost a 84-52 de-cision
to a powerful Macalester
freshman squad Friday, Feb. 14.
Mary Flodin scored 17 points
but the Royals were unable to
overcome 45-23 halftime deficit.
Cochrane and Freeman scored
17 and 26 points respectively to
lead Macalester to their final 32
point victory as they outshot Bethel
46 per cent to 23. Bethel came
within 6 points early in the second
half but were unable to capitalize
on free throw chances and break
through a tough Mac defense.
Bethel previously had captur-ed
two victories over Minneap-olis
School of Business 67-57 and
82-59. The "B" squad lost to the
River Falls frosh 70-60 and split
with Osceola Air Force base, los-ing
the first 74-57 and winning
the second 74-73.
Flodin, Doug Kelly and George
Harvey scored 14, 14 and 12 points
respectively to lead the Royals to
their 23 point 82-59 victory over
the School of Business. Kelly's long
jump shots gave the Royals a 34-28
halftime lead.
Through the first five games
Flodin is leading a well-balanced
attack with a 13 point average,
followed by Kelly and Harvey with
9 point averages. Flodin also leads
the team in rebounds with 10 per
game with Harvey and Tom Hagen,
both averaging 6.5 per game.
Bethel "B" squad, coached by
last year's most valuable player
Lee Bajuniemi, will try and
avenge last week's defeat to
Macalester frosh tomorrow at
Macalester.
They return to play an Indus-trial
League team at 6 o'clock as
a preliminary game to the Bethel-
Jamestown game on Saturday
night.
