For Senate Presidency
An extended loan period and re-vised
recall procedures will go into
effect next week, library officials
announced today.
Beginning Monday, March 16,
seminary students will be able to
check out books for an entire
quarter, while books checked out
to college students will circulate
for a four-week period. The pre-vious
limit has been two weeks for
students and non-Bethel people.
A library official noted that
the changes were made in recog-nition
of the graduate nature of
the seminary program and of the
average length of time books
were kept by college students.
"We feel that the use which
seminary students make of the
books merits the longer loan per-iod,"
said Miss Carol Christensen,
circulation librarian, "and our ob-servation
of the number of book
renewals had shown that most col-lege
students normally use books
for a 4-week period."
In extending the loan period,
however, the library has restricted
the number of renewals possible.
"Books can be renewed only for an
additional two weeks; there will
Movie Depicts
Religious Cult
"Serpent Handlers," a documen-tary
movie describing a religious
cult prevalent in the Southern
states, will be shown at the meet-ing
of Pi Gamma Mu, Bethel's so-cial
science honor society, Satur-day,
March 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the
college auditorium.
Tape recordings of serpent hand-lers'
experiences with speaking in
tongues and a brief background
discussion by Dick Ericson, in-structor
in social work at Bethel,
will also be featured.
Refreshments will be served.
President Jared Dorn issues an in-vitation
to all interested in attend-ing.
not be the continuous renewal we
have allowed in the past," Miss
Christensen said.
Loan restrictions are establish-ed
to allow the maximum use of
books by the greatest number of
students," she continued. "We
feel that the new loan policy re-flects
student needs."
In connection with the longer
loan period in the library is initiat-ing
a revised recall policy. Books
required by other students will now
be recalled after they have been
out for seven days.
"A student will get five days to
return the book, to enable him to
Bloch Displays
Lute Technique
Speaking at 10 a.m. tomorrow at
the convocation will be Miss Suz-anne
Bloch, whose lute concerts of
early music, including virginals,
recorders and songs to the lute,
take her constantly on tours in the
United States and Canada.
For many years Miss Bloch, who
has trained lutists in the East, was
the principal concert lute player
on the American continent. She
also plays on early keyboard in-struments,
the virginals, and is
considered one of the outstanding
exponents of the best recorder
playing.
As a composer she won first
prize in a Paris contest for women
composers at the age of 19; in re-cent
years she has given orchestral
performances in New York with
Leonard Bernstein and Leon Bar-zin.
Miss Bloch's authoritative as well
as virtuoso position on the concert
stage includes presentations of spe-cial
Shakespearen settings and mu-sic
related to his plays. In this
field she not only appears at
Shakespeare festivals, but has re-corded
an album of such music for
Concert Hall society.
General elections Friday, March
13, climax a week of active cam-paigning
for the senate positions.
Balloting will be from 10:30 a.m.
to 4 p.m. in the student lounge.
Results will be announced Friday
night at the Koff ee Kup game.
Candidates for the senate execu-tive
posts were chosen by party
primaries earlier last week. List-ing
first the Royal Realist and
then the United Student candi-dates,
the presidential hopefuls are
Bob Beckstrom and Dave Johnson
(see page 2).
Competing for the first vice-presidency
are Paul Goodman, a
welcome week staff member, and
Bill Carlson, junior class presi-dent.
Carlson is also a sports
writer for the CLARION.
Academic committee coordinator
Bill Madsen and SPAN fund rais-ing
chairman Bill Swenson are
candidates for the post of second
vice-president. Madsen is also a
member of the student life coun-cil
and is student representative to
finish using it, after which a fine
of 50 cents per day will go into
effect," Miss Christensen said.
Current policies of immediate
recall for books needed for re-serve
and the present overdue
fine rate of two cents per day for
books in general circulation will
be continued.
A program has also been insti-tuted
whereby pastors and alumni
may apply for library cards, which,
if approved by the librarian, would
entitle them to a four-week loan
period. Other non-Bethel library
patrons will be restricted to the
current two-week limit.
In additional action, the library
announced that in certain cases,
such as for independent study pro-grams,
books may be checked out
for an entire semester through
special arrangements with the in-structor
and the librarian.

"Apostolic Communication of the
Word" is the theme chosen by Pro-fessor
Edwin J. Omark, professor
of Practical Theology and dean of
Bethel Theological seminary for
the seminary spring lecture series
Wednesday, March 18 - Friday,
March 20 in the seminary chapel.
In the series, based on the apos-tle
Paul's preaching, pastoral min-istry
and living, Dean Omark in-tends
to relate the recently chosen
motto of Bethel Theological sem-inary,
"The Man of God Communi-cating
the Word of God," to the
witnessing ministry of the apostle
Paul.
Beginning at 10 a.m. Wednes-day,
March 18, he will deliver his
first message, "Communication by
Preaching." Paul was primarily a
preacher and in obedience to the
call of Christ, he traveled over the
Roman empire as a preacher of
the Gospel.
Thursday morning's topic will
concern communication by shep-herding.
Paul had a shepherd's
heart and through his pastoral min-kiewich

Anderson is currently treasurer of
women's choir and serves on the
dormitory council. An active SNEA

CYF. Currently serving as
sophomore class president is Vern
Lewis. Dave Mbiti from Machakos,
Kenya, East Africa, is president of
the Bethel International fellow-ship.
Mike Rynkiewich is currently
sports editor of the CLARION.
Concluding the list of member-at-
large candidates is Marilyn
Swan. Presently she is president
of women's choir and a resident
counselor in Bodien dormitory.
Tonight an 8 o'clock meeting in
the college auditorium will feature
presentations by senate candidates.
Tomorrow evening, at 8 in room
105 the senate presidential candi-dates
will debate.

the message he proclaimed.
Retiring as dean of the seminary
following the current school year,
Professor Omark received his
Bachelor of Theology degree at
Bethel in 1924, his B.A. from the
University of Minnesota in 1927

Politics Deserves Study
On Liberal Arts Campus
Political Emphasis week could be and should be an im-portant
part of Bethel's co-curricular program. The school's
role as a Christian liberal arts college makes a week-long
scrutiny of the political world a very proper area of concern.
The school's ambitions toward sharpening students' minds to
the extent that each graduate is capable of effective leadership
virtually demand that an elementary political awareness be
encouraged in each student.
This year the academic committee found several admini-strative
barriers blocking their planned program. These con-spicuous
barriers, however, are not the most basic obstructions.
The heritage of much of the student body lacks any political
involvement. Many of us have been implicitly taught that
separating church and state separates everyone in the church
from any participation in the affairs of state beyond taxes and
perhaps voting. Politics and politicians have been generally
disapproved.
Political Emphasis week can and must play an important
role in pointing out the fallacies in this isolation. Ways must
be found to expand the week's program beyond campus politics
to include national affairs as well. Since politics is such a broad
field, expansion to a more varied schedule would make care-ful
selection necessary.
Time would not allow spelling out the entire responsibility
of the Christian in politics: instead, basic responsibilities must
be sketched, leaving responsibility for further development
with the student. Ethics would not allow indoctrination toward
any particular political belief: instead, as many points of view
as possible must be presented fairly and honestly, leaving the
individual student responsibility for examination and selection.
Neither of these requirements would violate evangelical
theology, for Christ is neither a Democrat nor a Republican.
Nor would they violate Bethel's Baptist tradition, for Baptist
unity-with-freedom is built upon a common faith rather than
shared political beliefs, racial backgrounds or national alleg-iances.
The goal set for Political Emphasis week is not uniting
the campus in one particular system of political bias, but rather
driving each individual on the campus toward informed poli-tical
concern.
Senate Acts Positively,
Passes Amendments
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
Parties, Presidential Candidates
Match Purposes, Qualifications
by J. David Patterson
Student senate's meeting last
Tuesday, March 3, produced some
of the most constructive discussion
heard by this reporter thus far.
Three amendments were brought
up in the meeting. Two were pass-ed.
These two amendments will be
submitted to the student body Fri-day,
March 13.
June Erickson was called upon
to present the amendments. Senate
considered first the amendment to
make the standing committee co-ordinators
elected positions. Be-for
the meeting started Bob Sorley
made an introductory comment
concerning this constitutional
amendment.
Sorley explained that he had
not been satisfied with appoint-ments
in the past two years. Be-cause
both political parties in
the upcoming election were cam-paigning
for this change, he en-couraged
the senate to vote in
favor of this amendment.
Bob Beckstrom moved to amend
the amendment to hold elections
during student senate elections
rather than during class elections.
Beckstrom's motion was defeated
and the original amendment was
passed.
Second amendment set a requir-ed
attendance for senators of three
meetings out of every four. Ed
Carlson presented statistics on at-tendance
in the previous meetings
that warranted this amendment.
Beckstrom felt that the senate
should worry more about the
problems of the students than
the problems of the senate. It
was not explained, however, how
the senate is to solve the prob-lems
of the students when sen-ate
business must be held over
from one meeting to the next
for lack of a bare quorum.
The amendment was defeated by
the first negative vote, since there
were just enough senators present
by this time to represent a mere
by Jim Spiceland
Areas of deep controversy seem
to be largely lacking in the cur-rent
election campaign. Royal Rea-list
presidential hopeful Bob Beck-strom
and United Student counter-part
Dave Johnson apparently find
their parties with very few disa-greements.
Last year's campus elections
proved to be the proverbial "ex-ception
to the rule," the rule in
this case being that general elec-tions
on small campuses are not
characterized by important differ-ences
on clear cut issues held by
the candidates.
Royal Realists stood very
strongly for one set of princi-ples
and attitudes which they
promised to foster on campus.

Beware the idleness of March!
It is about this time of year that
we are most affected by the drone
of our formal studies. Without
sacrificing any of the excellent
events and programs on our cam-pus
it is certainly wise to visit or
attend some of the exhibitions and
programs that are offered in the
Twin Cities.

United Students zealously sup-ported
another perspective and
desired to represent it.
Result was the closest presiden-tial
election in the school's history,
with a large percentage of the stu-dent
body voting.
This week's election does not
contain these elements of excite-ment
and "band wagoning." But
it will demand a more thoughtful
and mature consideration on the
part of all who vote.
Parties have not taken a polar
position in relation to one an-other.
Some issues find some
members of both parties oppos-ing
and supporting them.
Selection of a senate president
will prove to be a very difficult
and interesting matter. Presented

with two men who have proven
their leadersihp ability and mature
concern throughout their college
careers, the students will be re-quired
to do much reflection.
Bob Beckstrom, who has appear-ed
on the dean's list of straight A
honor students for four semesters,
represents the Royal Realist party.
Beckstrom was president of his
sophomore class and is currently
second vice-president of the sen-ate.
Active in music, he is a past
president of male chorus, in
which he served for two years,
while also in gospel team work.
In 1962-63 Beckstrom was widely
read as sports editor of the CLAR-ION,
reporting and commenting on
the efforts of Bethel's athletes.
This year Beckstrom is serving as
a residence counselor in Edgren
residence.
President of the National Con-ference
Youth fellowship (CYF),
Dave Johnson represents the Uni-ted
Students party.
Johnson has been a member
of the CLARION staff for five
semesters, serving last year as
editor and this year as editor-in-chief.
He is also an Edgren resi-dence
counselor.
In 1961-62 Johnson was freshman
class president, and in April, 1962,
he was elected president of Min-nesota
CYF. Also interested in
music, he has been a member of
the college band and male chorus
for two years. In his sophomore
year he was a member-at-large in
the senate.
Both men are known and re-spected
for their Christian cora-mittment
and concern with vital
campus issues and events. Al-though
the issues are not contro-versial,
each was able to state an
area of concern.
"I feel that the senate does
not concern itself enough with
issues close to the student
body," stated Beckstrom, lament-ing
the "busy work" of this
year's senate and promising
change.
Johnson desires to "see student
government achieve greater inter-est
from the students through bet-ter
activities and publicity."

Fulbright Grant
Takes Moberg
To Germany
Dr. David Moberg, professor of
sociology and chairman of the de-partment
of social sciences at
Bethel, is the recipient of a Ful-bright
scholarship "to lecture in
the field of social sciences" at the
Institute for Christliche Gesell-schaftswissenschoften,
Munster uni-versity,
Federal Republic in Ger-many
during the 1964-65 school
year beginning October, 1964 for
ten months.
Moberg, who received notice of
the award Feb. 27, will be on sab-batical
leave from Bethel next
year. He will also be participating
in a large research project on re-ligion
and society in Germany.
This is the second Fulbright
scholarship Moberg has received.
In 1957-58 he served as lecturer on
sociology at the University of
Groningen, Groningen, Nether-lands.
Moberg's invitation was "under-written"
by the Institute for Chris-tian
Sociology, the evangelical
theological faculty and the socio-logical
section of the Law-political
Science Faculty at the University
of Munster.
He has been asked to be guest
professor of the sociology of re-ligion.
He will also be expected to
lecture in some other German uni-versities
and possibly in a few
other nations.
"Technically," states Moberg,
"this is under authorization of the
Mutual Educational and Cultural
Exchange Act of 1961, Public Law
87-256 (the Fulbright-Hayes Act).
The basic purpose of the program
of educational exchange 'is to in-crease
mutual understanding be-tween
the people of the United
States and the people of the Fed-eral
Republic of Germany through
the exchange of students, teachers,
lecturers and research scholars.' "

Paul Goodman and Bill Swenson
recently returned from Washing-ton,
D.C. where they attended the
National Association of Evangeli-cals'
Seventh Annual seminar on
federal careers. One hundred and
forty delegates from twelve col-leges
and universities gathered to
evaluate the role of the evangelical
in American government.
Students often visualize careers
in government as strictly political
and orient themselves only with
the legislative branch or certain
parts of the executive. In reality,
the broad range of civil service
careers now includes 2.4 million
civilian positions, only a few of
which are elective or appointive.
There are presently two thirds
as many different career oppor-tunities
in government service
as in private life. The social and
intellectual caliber of this group
is reflected in Washington's
many cultural opportunities.
The executive branch includes a
1,500 member presidential staff
and all cabinet level departments.
The largest and most interesting
is the State department in which
careers are centered around do-mestic
policy making, serving
in the foreign service, or repre-senting
the nation in various inter-national
agencies such as the OAS,
SEATO or the United Nations.
The United States Information
agency produces the Voice of A-merica
radio broadcast and other
radio-television programming ma-terials,
as well as films, magazines
and other periodicals which project
the American image abroad. More
temporary opportunities, especially
in teaching and engineering, are
available in the Peace corps.
On the domestic scene, some
7,500 civil service positions are
filled annually through the Fed-eral
Service Entrance examina-tion,
which primarily recruits
specialists in the physical sci-ences,
a large majority of which

the seminar was for evangelicals
to get meaningfully involved in the
management of news.
If evangelicals practiced the high
ethical and moral principles they
profess to believe, they would be
the most qualified group to inter-pret
current events. In reality, few
evangelicals are concerned enough
to become involved.
Opportunity for practical
Christian influence is great in
many fields. Any dedicated,
competent person who is aware
of current national trends of
opinion will be influential to
some degree.
More distinct positions of Chris-tian
endeavor are available in in-terest
groups such as NAE, which
is dedicated to the expansion of
evangelical influence. However, it
must be recognized that the NAE
is only one of a myriad of weaker
special groups.
The best background for govern-ment
service lies in the social sci-ences:
political science, history,
economics, sociology and anthro-pology.

The American Way of Death, by Jessica
Mitford. Simon and Schuster, New York,
1963. 333 pp. $4.95.
by J. Timothy Sward
One should certainly pass this
book by if one is immortal.
Otherwise, it is the most ex-haustive,
documented, appendixed
and indexed explanation available
of the ambush you and your fam-ily
are inevitably walking into,
unless you are lost at sea or vanish
in an atomic war.
Undertakers, in short, have you.
These dealers in the dead have
found themselves gratifyingly in
the center of the unspeakable mo-ment
in social life: the dead cannot
speak for himself, the survivors
do not dare speak for him. Into the
silence steps the funeral director.
America's funeral director—that
dispenser of authoritative and
soothing advice — has suddenly
found himself shouted at, reproach-ed
and deplored in a clamor that
has shattered the hush of the na-tion's
funeral parlors and made
many an undertaker sweat uneasily
beneath his decent black suit.
In what seems a sudden con-certed
attack, Americans all over
the country are rebelling against
the high cost of dying. Funerals,
it seems, just do not mean as much
to most people as undertakers
would like them to.
Any anthropologist or sociologist
can tell us that burial practices of
people reflect primarily their sys-tem
of belief. Since so many con-temporary
folk are inwardly pagan
— both within and without the
church — it is not surprising that
death as the final act is now sur-rounded
by mawkish rites, grief
and guilt therapy, and bizarre
demonstrations.
Author Mitford's basic argument
is that the cult of the prettied-up
corpse, put on display in a ghoul-ish,
make-believe sleep, is neither
reverent nor religious, but a gigan-tic
feat of merchandising.
Mitford's point is made without
apology for realism or to the huck-sters
of the vast commercial em-pire
that prey upon the event of
death (floral tributes, cemetery
lots, vaults, garden crypts, etc.).
She is really pointing directly
to an American society that con-tinues
to perpetuate and tolerate
these customs whenever they ac-cept
the tricks of the mortician's
trade.

A varsity sport Bethel has needed for a long time is hockey. The
school is located in a natural hockey playing area. Athletes from the
area who play football and baseball are usually good at hockey. Bethel
loses football and baseball players every year because it does not have
a varsity hockey team.
I know of two boys who participate in both these sports at Bethel,
but feel that they must transfer next year so that they can play hockey.
They want to play hockey not only for enjoyment, but also because they
intend to coach hockey some day.
Hockey is not extremely expensive after it gets started. There is
already enough talent in the school for Bethel to do well in the Min-nesota
Intercollegiate Athletic conference (MIAC). I am sure this would
prove extremely popular and profitable.
Now is the time for Bethel to take action on this. Hockey will be a
natural at the new campus, but think how much better it would be if
Bethel got started now. The team would have equipment and exper-ience
so they would be able to get a good start on the new campus.
If something is not done now, Bethel will continue to lose good athletes
and initiation of the sport may be set back for years.
A problem has come to my attention: several students have com-plained
about the strict rules under which intramural volleyball is
played. I have heard some say that they do not intend to play any more
unless the rules are changed. I do not think a change in rules is neces-sary,
however. I believe the problem could be solved by the referees.
If they would be a little less strict on the rules, the game would be
more enjoyable for all.
As it is now, more than half of the points in a game are scored on
infractions of the rules. I am not advocating chaos. Surely the referees
should call the obvious. But if they were not so strict, intramural volley-ball
could be enjoyed by the average students, not simply the physical,
education minors.

Bethel's girls basketball team
defeated the Swedish hospital team
42-32 last Tuesday, March 3, in a
spirited game. The team, coached
by Eunice Murra, has a 5-3 record.
Four of the wins were by forfeit.
Sharon Sudenga led Bethel's
scoring with 16 points. At the end
of the first half Bethel had a 23-17
lead, but in the third quarter Swe-dish
caught up and tied the score.
The Royalettes fought to the 10
point victory in the final quarter.
Other outstanding players for
Bethel were Cindy Heath with 11
points and some fine rebounding
and Gladys Holmberg with 9
points. The team also includes Joan

Three Teams
Tie For First
In Volleyball
Volleyball highlighted the intra-mural
slate this past week as com-petition
in two other sports con-tinues.
Handball and paddleball
tournaments are now in their sec-ond
rounds.
Three teams share first place in
volleyball. The Barons, Faculty and
Knights all have perfect 2-0 re-cords.
Last week the Barons topped
the undermanned Jesters in two
straight to send the Jesters to the
bottom of the league with no wins
in two starts.
Faculty humbled the Seminary
to keep their record clean, while
the Knights tromped the Squires.
In other games the Dukes beat the
Squires and the Peasants beat the
Dukes to deadlock the Peasants
and the Dukes in second place.
Senate, Faculty
Play For SPAN
Annual Koffee Kup game be-tween
the student senate and the
faculty intramural team will be
played at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March
13. Admission price for the game
is set at a minimum of 25 cents
but students may contribute more
if they wish.
Purpose of the game is to raise
money for SPAN. The SPAN rep-resentative
from Bethel this year
is David Beek, a junior from
George, Iowa. Bill Swenson is cam-pus
coordinator for SPAN.
Played according to high school
time of eight minute quarters, the
game is sponsored by the athletic
committee of the student senate.
Dick Fredrickson, chairman of the
athletic committee, is the coordina-tor
of the event.
This year's game is intended to
be a serious one. Preliminary and
half-time entertainment will be
provided. Following the game offi-cials
will present a trophy. Win-ners
of the student senate election
will also be announced.
Refreshments, including coffee,
punch and donuts will be sold. The
purpose of selling refreshments is
to meet expenses. Any extra money
will be given to SPAN.
Snow is still on the ground, but
basketball season is over and last
Monday the Bethel baseball team
began preparation for its 1964 sea-son.
This year's baseball team is
headed by two gentlemen recently
graduated to Royal baseball annals.
Dave Cox is the new head coach
and will be assisted by senior Don
McKelvy.
Cox graduated from Bethel last
year. While a student he lettered
for three straight years as the
Royal's starting shortstop. His last
two years Cox was captain of the
team.
McKelvy was the team's lead-ing
hitter last year with a .470
average which was tops in the
league. As a player, he held the
catcher's position for four years.
His main responsibility will be
to coach the catchers, but he will
be useful in the hitting depart-ment.
Coach Cox has made it clear that
all positions are open to those
wishing to try out. He anticipates a
good group of freshmen and trans-

fer students to aid the returning
lettermen.
Seven returning lettermen in-clude
captain Dave Buck. Buck, a
senior, was starting centerfielder
last season, with the second high-est
batting average on the team.
Known as a hustler, Buck will set
the pace for this year's entire
team.
Jim Austin, returning third
baseman, begins his third year
as a baseball regular. Austin is
also being counted on for pitch-ing
strength. Jerry Moulton, also
a returnee, will be pitching in
coach Cox's present plans.
Gene Brunzell will be returning
to aid at the first base position.
Also a first baseman, as well as an
outfielder, Dave Guerke will see
action again this season. Other re-turning
players include Vince
Bloom as pitcher and George Har-vey
as outfielder.
Cox sees the pitching and catch-ing
departments as the biggest
question marks now. Good strength
will be needed to replace John,
Holmberg and Curt Halstrom's
mound performances of last year.
The catcher's spot vacated by Mc-
Kelvy is a bigger problem. This
key position is up for grabs to re-turnees
as well as first year men.
"Our strength should be speed
and hustle" were the words of
the coach. "We plan to do a lot
of running." Bethel will bunt,
steal and run to produce runs.
Coach Cox hopes to win a lot
of one-run games by hustling
and taking advantage of every
scoring opportunity.
To emphasize the running as-pect,
the team will begin bunting
practice immediately in indoor
practices. Cox hopes to have the
team in good shape before they
get outside. How soon that is de-pends
entirely upon the weather.
Bethel is in the Central Minne-sota
baseball conference, a seven
team league. Last year the Royals
finished second behind Austin
Junior college. Bethel has a 26-
game schedule, including 12 dou-ble
headers. The Royals open the
season April 8 against River Falls.
As to the season, Coach Cox
makes one statement: "We're plan-ning
on the winning the confer-ence,
playing good baseball and
having fun doing it."
