Staff Receive Awards At Historical Banquet (photo by Johnson) Typical scene this week in the coffee shop is a campus visitor, here for Founders week, talking with faculty members and students. Here, Rev. Robert Klingberg speaks with Rev. David Guston, seminary librar-ian. Service awards were presented to several Bethel staff members at the annual historical banquet Monday night in the fieldhouse. Those honored for service anniver-saries were H. Wyman Malmsten, Dean Edwin Omark, David Guston, Eugene Johnson, C. Howard Smith, Lillian Ryberg and President Carl Lundquist. Malmsten was presented a silver candelabra. He has been assistant to the president since 1951. Pre-viously he was pastor of the Pow-derhorn Park Baptist church in Minneapolis from 1930-38 and field representative for the college from 1938-51. Edwin Omark, dean of the sem-inary, received an engraved watch. Prior to coming to Bethel he pas-tored Champion St. Baptist church in Bellingham, Wash. and Eleventh Street Baptist church in Los An-geles. He has been a professor of practical theology since 1944 and dean since 1948. Jeweled cuff links were present-ed to David Guston, librarian since 1957. He has pastored church-es in Henning, Minn.; Bristol, Conn.; Schenectady, N.Y.; and New York City. Eugene Johnson and C. Howard Smith received birthstone rings. Johnson, professor and chairman of the art department and director Purdue Draws Political Crowd An estimated 400 midwestern college students gather on the Pur-due university campus Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 27-29, to hear authorities discuss and debate "Armament vs. Disarmament" at the third annual Purdue Confer-ence on International Affairs. Students from about 38 Midwest college and university campuses will gather for the series of meet-ings. While directed primarily to-ward undergraduate students, a large number of graduate students also will attend. Foreign students at midwestern colleges and univer-sities have also been invited. The conference is under sponsor-ship of the Purdue student govern-ment in co-operation with the school of humanities, social sci-ences and education and the divi-sion of conferences and continua-tion services of the university ex-tension administration. of campus planning, has been a fac, ulty member since 1951. He was pastor of Bethel Baptist church in Pasadena before coming to Bethel. Smith, associate professor of music, has been at Bethel since 1951. He has directed the college choir and is presently director of the male chorus. Miss Lillian Ryberg, associate professor of Spanish and acting language department chairman, and President Carl Lundquist re-ceived pen desk sets. Miss Ryberg began full-time at Bethel in 1948. Dr. Lundquist has been president since 1954. Prior to assuming this position, he pastored Elim Baptist church in Chicago from 1943-53 and was acting dean of Bethel col-lege from 1953-54. A candlelight reception was held in honor of these staff members and their wives in the Bodien lounge preceding the banquet. Cor-sages were presented to the ladies. While the guests sampled hors d' oeuvres and punch, background music was provided by Miss Clara Seecamp. Mrs. Marion Stipe play-ed two violin solos. by June Erickson 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. Schools Abroad Offer Stipends Institute of International Educa-tion announces that a limited num-ber of scholarships for 1964 sum-mer study are being offered to qualified Americans by two Aus-trian and four British universities. From July 12 to August 22, the University of Vienna will hold a special summer session at its St. Wolfgang campus in Stroble, Aus-tria. Courses available to students will include law, political science and liberal arts courses and Ger-man language courses. Cost will be approximately $335. Sponsored by the Austro- American Society, the aim of the Salzburg summer school at Salz-burg- Klessheim is to provide stu-dents with an opportunity to learn the German language and to acquire a first-hand know-ledge of Austrian culture and foreign policy. Total cost for the Salzburg pro-gram will be $260; $245 to cover room, board and tuition, plus a $15 registration fee. Summer school opportunities in Great Britain include a choice of subjects and historical periods. Study of Shakespeare and Eliza-bethan drama will be offered at Stratford-on-Avon by the Univer-sity of Birmingham. History, literature and arts of seventeenth century England will be taught at the University of Oxford. Twentieth century English literature will be offer-ed at the University of London.

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. Dan Martinez Tita Week • • • February 17-21 FOUNDERS WEEK "THE CHURCHS MINIS-TRY TO A CHANGING WORLD."

Wednesday, February 19, 1964 by Nancy Dean "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, St. Olaf, St. Thereasa's and St. Scholastica.

Olford Challenges Church To Liberty in Holy Spirit School, Constituency Need Mutual Trust Page 4 the CLARION 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. Wednesday, February 19, 1964 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 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.

HU 9 -1455) 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. Wednesday, February 19, 1964 Examination of "The Church's Ministry to a Changing World" continues as Founders week pro-gresses. Although many interest-ing topics have been discussed, the the CLARION Page 5 remaining schedule includes a var-iety of pertinent subjects. Dr. Norman Grubb, well-known, author and lecturer from Great Britain, will address tonight's in-spirational rally at 7:30 p.m. in the fieldhouse.

The victory upped the Royals record to 10-6 and gave them a 4-1 record in the Pioneer conference. Tom Johnson and Denny Dorgan with 27 and 14 points respectively Wednesday, February 19, 1964 gave the Eagles an early 10-4 lead during the first three minutes. George Palke, Rich Nelson and Don Moore led a Royal attack which outscored Northwestern 15-2 and give the Royals a 19-12 first quarter lead. Moore, scoring all 19 points 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.

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. Conference Title Rests On Northland Game

Transcript | (photo by Johnson) Bethel's president and his wife, received a ten year service award at the annual Founders week banquet, held Monday night. Dr. and Mrs. Carl Lundquist were among several faculty and administration per-sonnel who received recognition. Staff Receive Awards At Historical Banquet (photo by Johnson) Typical scene this week in the coffee shop is a campus visitor, here for Founders week, talking with faculty members and students. Here, Rev. Robert Klingberg speaks with Rev. David Guston, seminary librar-ian. Service awards were presented to several Bethel staff members at the annual historical banquet Monday night in the fieldhouse. Those honored for service anniver-saries were H. Wyman Malmsten, Dean Edwin Omark, David Guston, Eugene Johnson, C. Howard Smith, Lillian Ryberg and President Carl Lundquist. Malmsten was presented a silver candelabra. He has been assistant to the president since 1951. Pre-viously he was pastor of the Pow-derhorn Park Baptist church in Minneapolis from 1930-38 and field representative for the college from 1938-51. Edwin Omark, dean of the sem-inary, received an engraved watch. Prior to coming to Bethel he pas-tored Champion St. Baptist church in Bellingham, Wash. and Eleventh Street Baptist church in Los An-geles. He has been a professor of practical theology since 1944 and dean since 1948. Jeweled cuff links were present-ed to David Guston, librarian since 1957. He has pastored church-es in Henning, Minn.; Bristol, Conn.; Schenectady, N.Y.; and New York City. Eugene Johnson and C. Howard Smith received birthstone rings. Johnson, professor and chairman of the art department and director Purdue Draws Political Crowd An estimated 400 midwestern college students gather on the Pur-due university campus Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 27-29, to hear authorities discuss and debate "Armament vs. Disarmament" at the third annual Purdue Confer-ence on International Affairs. Students from about 38 Midwest college and university campuses will gather for the series of meet-ings. While directed primarily to-ward undergraduate students, a large number of graduate students also will attend. Foreign students at midwestern colleges and univer-sities have also been invited.

Miss Lillian Ryberg, associate professor of Spanish and acting language department chairman, and President Carl Lundquist re-ceived pen desk sets. Miss Ryberg began full-time at Bethel in 1948. Dr. Lundquist has been president since 1954. Prior to assuming this position, he pastored Elim Baptist church in Chicago from 1943-53 and was acting dean of Bethel col-lege from 1953-54. A candlelight reception was held in honor of these staff members and their wives in the Bodien lounge preceding the banquet. Cor-sages were presented to the ladies.

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.

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. Dan Martinez Tita Week • • • February 17-21 FOUNDERS WEEK "THE CHURCHS MINIS-TRY TO A CHANGING WORLD."

Wednesday, February 19, 1964 by Nancy Dean "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, St. Olaf, St. Thereasa's and St. Scholastica.

Olford Challenges Church To Liberty in Holy Spirit School, Constituency Need Mutual Trust Page 4 the CLARION 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. Wednesday, February 19, 1964 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.

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.

HU 9 -1455) 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. Wednesday, February 19, 1964 Examination of "The Church's Ministry to a Changing World" continues as Founders week pro-gresses. Although many interest-ing topics have been discussed, the the CLARION Page 5 remaining schedule includes a var-iety of pertinent subjects.

The victory upped the Royals record to 10-6 and gave them a 4-1 record in the Pioneer conference. Tom Johnson and Denny Dorgan with 27 and 14 points respectively Wednesday, February 19, 1964 gave the Eagles an early 10-4 lead during the first three minutes. George Palke, Rich Nelson and Don Moore led a Royal attack which outscored Northwestern 15-2 and give the Royals a 19-12 first quarter lead. Moore, scoring all 19 points 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.

Bruce Barnes led the Squires with 13. 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. Conference Title Rests On Northland Game |
