Sprinkel. "There is too large a gap
between social events at Bethel,
both according to the calendar and
in the interaction of the students."
Members of the three councils
discussed ways in which maxi-mum
use can be made of the dor-mitories
and other available
facilities to meet this need. Their
wish is to make available places
where small groups of students
can meet together informally on
Sing Proceeds
Without Beatles
Highlighting the social activities
this week is an all-campus hooten-anny,
to be held Saturday night at
8 in the dining hall.
Participating in this event will
be three groups of "folk singers"
from Bethel, one group from Augs-burg
and one group from a neigh-boring
high school.
It was recommended that the
Beatles be asked to participate al-so,
but due to fog (among other
things) they won't be able to make
it. Tuffy Bryant then volunteered
to act as emcee to replace the loss!
There will be no admission
charge and refreshments will be
served during the intermission.
This hootenanny is sponsored by
the social committee with Paul
Goodman in charge of programing.
Royal Players left today on an
extended tour, the second in
Bethel's drama history. They will
bring two religious dramas to aud-iences
in eight states during a 17-
day period. The touring actors will
perform "The Sacrifice" and "Con-quest
in Burma" primarily before
church groups.
Performances have also been
scheduled for a Youth for Christ
meeting in Worcester, Mass. and a
chapel at Wheaton college, Whea-ton,
Ill.
Troop of six includes four St.
Paulites: Carole Lundquist, sen-ior
English major; Phoebe Net-terlund,
sophomore English stu-dent;
Jerry Oas, senior speech
student; and Steve Seidl, sopho-more
and speech major. Dale
Rott, instructor in speech and
drama, fills a dual position as
director and actor. Joining the
quintet of veteran tour members
is pre-med sophomore J. David
Patterson from Fort Wayne, In-diana.
Drama department's Greenbrier
station wagon will transport the
six through the states of Illinois,
Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio
and Indiana.

Royal Realists swept to victory
in eight out of ten student senate
offices in last Friday's senate elec-tions.
President Bob Sorley an-nounced
the results following last
Friday evening's Koffee Kup game.
Heading next year's senate will
be Royal Realist Bob Beckstrom,
a junior from Menlo Park, Califor-nia.
Upon receiving notice of his
victory, Beckstrom issued the fol-lowing
statement: "Something I
would be very happy to hear from
students next year is, 'Bob, I don't
like what the senate is doing.'
"First, I would be happy be-cause
it would imply that the
senate is doing something. But
more than that, it would imply
that the senate is doing some-thing
about which students are
concerned. Only then will the
senate be a vital part of our cam-pus
life."
Beckstrom served the past year
on the executive council in the
position of second vice-president
and as chairman of the student life
committee. Presently he is a coun-selor
in Edgren residence.
United Student Bill Carlson was
elected to the position of first vice-president.
A member of the junior
class, he serves as class president
and as a sports writer for the
CLARION.
His primary duties involve act-ing
as coordinator of the 1964
welcome week activities and
serving as temporary president
of the incoming freshman class
preceding freshman elections.
Serving as academic committee
chairman, Royal Realist Bill Mad-sen
is the new second vice-presi-dent.
His main duties will involve
coordinating the 1964-65 school
year calendar.
Elected to the position of re-cording
secretary, United Student
Donna Swanson is a member of
college choir of which she is cor-responding
secretary. She spent the
spring semester of 1963 traveling
with a Youth for Christ gospel
team in South America.
Newly elected corresponding
secretary is sophomore Nancy
Dean. A Royal Realist, she is
past member of the religious
son and his touring ballad trio.

Treasurer-elect is Royal Realist
Roger Waldenstrom. He is treas-urer
of the sophomore class.
Four members-at-large were also
elected by the student body. All
are Royal Realist party members.
They include Marilyn Fahs, a jun-ior
and college choir member;
Vern Lewis, sophomore class presi-dent;
Dave Mbiti, a junior and
president of the Bethel Interna-tional
fellowship; and sophomore
Mike Rynkiewich, sports editor of
the CLARION.
Election statistics reveal that
a total of 524 students out of
730 eligible voters cast their
ballots. The voting percentage
by classes is as follows: fresh-men,
70%; sophomores, 75%;
juniors, 70%; seniors, 73%; and
post-graduates, 50%. Eighty bal-lots
were declared invalid be-cause
of incorrect marking.
Proposed constitutional amend-ments
passed with decisive mar-gins.
Only 101 disapproved elect-ing

amendment concerning methods of

Council Ruling
Favors Coeds
After a month's trial, Hagstrom
and Bodien dormitory councils de-cided
to continue to allow resi-dents
to stay outside their rooms
after 11 p.m. Before making this
decision, the dormitory councils,
house mothers and assistant dean
of students, Sprinkel met to dis-cuss
the effects of the new rule.
Members raised some questions
about the initial presentation of
the new ruling. Wrong information
and the overstatement of change
had falsely given the idea that the
new rule did away with all other
after hour restrictions.
Another point the council rais-ed
was that the elected dorm
council has the responsibility to
enforce study hours as well as
after-eleven hours.
"Potentially, the residents have
the opportunity to prove their ma-turity,"
said Mr. Sprinkel, "but
the unfortunate thing is that some
residents have not recognized their
responsibility in maintaining
quiet."
Kathy Johnson, president of
Hagstrom residence, stated that
she thought the rule had work-ed
very well in Hagstrom. There
were slight abuses, but on the
whole no real difficulties.
Marion Tall, Bodien residence
president, states, "I think the rule
has been successful for the most
part, however, there have been a
few isolated incidents where the
rule has been interpreted in ex-tremes."

next year will not give party leaders enough time to work out
their platforms, to find candidates who can support each other
and to let the campus know what the party stands for.

The motto of the seminary is:
The Man of God Communicating
the Word of God. This expresses
an integrating concept which gives
purpose and unity to the curricu-lum.
These lectures are designed to
interpret the pastor's communica-tion
of the Word in terms of Paul
as a preacher, pastor and Christian
man. Although Paul had a unique
experience as an apostle, present-day
ministers should emulate him
in the great task of communicat-ing
the gospel to a lost world.
COMMUNICATION BY
PREACHING
Paul's primary work was preach-ing.
As an apostle sent by God, he
proclaimed an authentic message
of redemption in Christ, divinely
revealed. His own experience con-firmed
the validity of the message.
Not only was the message of
divine origin but it was also effec-tively
delivered. Although he ad-mitted
being unskilled in speech
we know that he communicated
well because people responded
positively or negatively.
They could not ignore his mes-sage.
Paul met the needs of the
people by preaching the Word of
God. God's Word is equally rele-vant
for our day.
COMMUNICATION BY
SHEPHERDING
Paul had a pastor's heart and
exercised a shepherding ministry
in connection with his extensive
ministry. He speaks of having the
care of the churches as a daily
burden.
Paul found the objective of pas-toral
ministry expressed in the
Vie Souse of

purpose of God that every believer
should be "conformed to the image
of His Son." In other words, the
Christian pastor must aid his peo-ple
in the process of becoming
mature or Christ-like.
For the attainment of this high
goal he exercised a comprehensive
ministry that was instructive and
supportive.
Paul was motivated in this min-istry
by deep love for the believers.
This led him to make costly sac-rifices
for the welfare of the
churches.
COMMUNICATION BY LIVING
The message Paul conveyed by
preaching and shepherding was
confirmed by his own exemplary
conduct. Christ became the pattern
of his life. We discover Christ-like
qualities such as righteousness,
courage and fortitude.
The secret of his sanctification
was full trust in the indwelling
Christ accompanied by adherence
to high ethical principles. His ex-emplary
life bore eloquent witness
to his devotion to Christ.

The morning and afternoon con-vocations
by Suzanne Bloch on our
campus, Thursday, March 12, were
well received and appreciated.
Everyone was impressed by her
knowledge of the subject, musi-cianship
and the charm with which
she communicated to her audience.
For the 10 a.m. presentation,
Miss Bloch gave a survey of late
medieval and early renaissance in-strumental
music. She explained
the mechanics and performing
qualities of the lute, virginals and
recorders; discussed the music lit-erature
of the period for these in-struments;
and performed with the
instruments to illustrate the con-tent
of her lecture. Her presenta-tion
was a good combination of lec-ture
and performance.
We lament her hurriedness and
too general scope of her topic.
However, this is not to her dis-credit.
For the noon convocation for the
English department, Miss Bloch
gave a convocation on Shakespear-ean
music. Once again performing
and lecturing, she acquainted us
with the music and lyrics in some
of Shakespeare's dramas and with
the music of the Elizabethan per-iod.
This session was less profitable.
She often rambled, skipped and
changed subjects. In snatches, she
spoke on topics ranging from the
authenticity of Shakespeare's lit-erature
to Einstein's musicianship.
However, her knowledge of and
intense interest in whatever she
discussed concerning music made
the hour rather pleasant.
The most unique and interesting
factor in Miss Bloch's convocations
was her ability to present the mu-sic
in its cultural context. With the
music, she also gave historical
sketches and samples of the litera-ture
of the age.
The convocation committee is
commended for sponsoring Miss
Bloch on our campus.

Page 4 the CLARION Wednesday, March 18, 1964
by Mike Rynkiewich
Respect for the individual on this campus is minimal and for the
athlete, it is especially low. An athlete sacrifices 25 to 30 hours a week
for the glory of the school, but he receives no glory for himself. The ratio
of time an athlete spends to recognition the campus gives is very low.
Now, I do not advocate preferential treatment for the athlete. Easier
courses or lower standards are not the reward an athlete seeks. All he
asks for is a fair break—to be free from preconceived notions—to have
equality. Students on campus think that athletes are not serious, not
capable of deep thought and are here just for a good time. Before an
individual athlete can show his colors he is stereotyped and put into
a set group called "the athletes."
Try as some people may to precipitate the athletes out as a separ-ate
group, it cannot be done, because they are an integral part of the
campus. Athletes make quite a contribution to the school. No story about
Bethel hits as many distant newspapers as do game scores. Athletics
provide a chance for the school to rally around and strengthen school
spirit. Yet some would spurn this chance.
Remember, there can be no separation, no division between a part
of the school and the school. The athletes are an indivisible part of
the school and the school a vital part of the athlete.
When someone asks how Bethel's team did this year in football,
the answer given by every student should be, "We had a pretty good
year. We were 6-2." Or in basketball, "We took the conference this year."
Athletes and athletics go unrecognized for the good they embody,
and too often, recognized for their bad side. Students are quick to pick
up a rumor about an athlete and spread it around. They are quick to
report any misconduct they see, but where are they when an athlete
makes All-American; where are they when an athlete makes the College
Who's Who, when an athletic gospel team does a good job? Can they
not give the athlete respect for his positive contribution to the campus?
Knights, Faculty
Remain In Lead
Knights and Faculty, both with
3-0 records, lead the intramural
volleyball tournament into its
fourth week. Last week the Knights
beat the Dukes 2-1 and the Faculty
beat the Peasants 2-1.
Barons suffered their first de-feat
as they were upset by a tough
Seminary team 2-1. In the other
games the Jesters beat the Counts
and the Pages and Squires both
forfeited.
Both the paddleball and handball
tournaments have entered into
their quarterfinal rounds. The
matches are played in the courts
in the basement of the boys dorm;
reservations are made on the intra-mural
bulletin board.
Dr. Mounce leads the paddleball
tournament into its semifinal round
with a victory over Dave Grant
(Counts). Mr. Smith, Mr. Glader,
Paul Evan, Dr. Wessel and Ed
Peterman are competing in the
other quarterfinal matches.
With football, basketball, tennis,
cross-country, weight lifting and
badminton completed the Jesters
lead the total intramural program
with 265 points. They are followed
by the Knights 223, Seminary 204,
Dukes 202, Counts 187, Peasants
186, Barons 127, Pages 104 and
Squires 104.
Dedicated to a more effective witness for

Out of 15 runners who started,
only Jim Peterson and Bob Sorley
were able to run the 100 miles
to qualify for membership in the
Century club. The runners started
running just after Thanksgiving
and ran until March 9, the first
day of track practice.
Each runner had to run at least
one mile at a time. Both kept at it
consistently and systematically cut
away at the distance until they had
finished.

The Century club runners say
that running in cold weather is not
as bad as it sounds. It is much
more comfortable and healthful
than running in hot weather. Run-ning
a long distance builds up
wind and cuts down on weight.

"One, two, three, FOUR. One,
two . . ." and so the sounds of the
Bethel track team echo through-out
the fieldhouse. The first meet
will be Saturday, April 11 at Mac-alester,
and in the words of cap-tain
Jack Buss, "We want to be
ready."
The team promises to be strong-er
than last year's in the field
events as Stan Miller will be join-ing
last year's lone shot putter,
Buss. The broad jump and high
jump will be another source of
strength as several freshmen, Dave
Bjorklund, Bob McDonald and
transfer student Tim Williams,
will be competing for honors.
Ron Bergman, freshman pole
vaulter, has his eye on the school
record which he has already
broken in practice. Buss, Fred
Purcell and Dale Rogers com-prise
the slight list of returning
lettermen, but all are experienc-ed
track men.
When questioned concerning the
prospects of a winning season this
year, captain Buss commented,
"It's really difficult to predict be-cause
of the diversity of schools
which we meet, but one thing is
certain — with our material we
could pull off some real upsets this
year."
Coach Gene Glader sees lack of
depth as a problem this year, al-though
it does not seem to pose
as large a problem as it did last
year. "Especially in the distance
events," commented Glader, "we
should be strong." Here Bethel is
represented by Purcell who holds
school records in the 880 yard run,
the mile, two mile, three mile and
3,000 meter steeplechase.
Rogers, cross-country standout,
has reported for practice and
should lend considerable strength
to Bethel's distance running at-tack.
In the sprinting events, Rich
Lawrence, Larry Schultz, Don Land
and Jim Peterson, will probably
be active, as well as a mixture of
the aforementioned athletes. Land,
two-year letter winner in football,
is making his first go at track this
year.
Coach Glader, commenting on
the existing school records, stated
"This could be the year that a num-ber
of records will be broken." He
sees several distance events, the
440, pole vault and high jump as
some possibilities for new records.
After watching his athletes at
work, Glader stated that he was
very confident and "encouraged
with the turnout number."
DUFFERS TO MEET FRIDAY
Coach Healy has scheduled the
first golf meeting for Friday,
March 20 at 4 p.m. in the field-house.
All fellows who have had
any experience at all in golf are
urged to attend.
