Sprinkel guilty of tardiness! College choir jury returned this verdict
and fined faculty adviser Gene Sprinkel a dollar and a quarter in a mock
trial staged during one of the few hours of fun and relaxation on tour.

WMF Retreaters Will Ponder
Christian Witnessing Problems
With the theme "... that we might be vessels prepared for the
Master's use ..." from II Timothy 2:21, the World Missions fellowship
retreats Friday and Saturday at Camp Icaghowon, Amery, Wis.
Instruction and discussion will center around two main topics.
Claude Stipe, instructor of anthropology at Bethel will discuss "the
Christian witness in relation to cultural differences."
"The Christian witness in relation to the believer's daily walk with
God" will be dealt with by Dale Bjork, formerly a missionary to China
and Japan, working now for Baptist General conference foreign missions.
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Malcolm will engage in retreat activities in
addition to Stipe and Bjork. The Malcolms are missionaries presently
working among university students in the Philippines under the Uni-ted
Presbyterian Mission board.
Meeting missionaries in a "down to earth" situation, learning of
their problems as well as their rewards, is one of the primary pur-poses
of the retreat.
Recreation will include a hike early Saturday morning.
Transportation will be provided, leaving Bodien residence Friday
at 7 p.m. The retreat will conclude Saturday night.
Candidates Address
YGOP, DFL Meetings
Everett Luoma, candidate of the Socialist Workers party for United
States senate from Minnesota will be speaking tonight at the YDFL
meeting. Tomorrow night Wheelock Whitney, Republican candidate for
senator will speak at the YGOP monthly meeting.
Luoma, who is a native of Minnesota, has completed his bachelor
of civil engineering degree at the University of Minnesota and has com-pleted
all requirements except his thesis for a masters in political sci-ence.
He wrote a weekly column for six months last year in two Twin
City Negro papers, and now writes two columns weekly in English for
the Finnish newspaper, Industrialisti published in Duluth.
Luoma, who opposes the tacon-ite
amendment, also believes that
the minority groups in America
cannot achieve victory "until the
workers, farmers and Negroes un-ite
in one Labor Party . . ." He
will be speaking at 8 in LL-B for
all those interested. Discussion will
follow.
Whitney, present mayor of Way-zata,
Minn. and chairman of the
Minnesota Taconite Action corps
(TAC) is also a native of Minne-sota.

Sponsored by the American As-sociation
of Evangelical students
(AAES), the April 8-11 convention
featured speakers, panel discus-sions
and workshop sessions on
"The Christian College in the
Twentieth Century."
Bethel delegates included Bob
Beckstrom, Bill Carlson, Dean
Dahlquist, Jim Spiceland and Bill

In conjunction with National
Library week Bethel college li-brary
is sponsoring a series of in-formal
discussions on the theme,
"Faculty research under way."
Two presentations, one Thursday
and one Friday, remain in the ser-ies
which began Monday.
Meetings are being held in
the stacks in the carpeted area
at the foot of the stairs in the
library. Coffee is served for those
attending at 3:15 and presentations
begin at 3:30.
Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom, col-lege
librarian, stated that "the
three-fold purpose of these pre-sentations
is to make students
aware of vital research in which
faculty members are engaged, to
stimulate curiosity about re-search
and to encourage students
to undertake independent re-search."
Dr. Ronald Youngblood and Dr.
Robeit Mounce appeared Monday
and today respectively. Dr. Young-blood
is preparing brief articles
on Old Testament studies for a
Bible encyclopedia and articles for
technical journals.
Dr. Mounce has been invited to
contribute a volume to the New

During their first year the
girls will share common facilities.
The next year they will be living
four to a room but with private
facilities. From this girls will move
to the apartments to live in self

Convention activities began with
registration on Wednesday even-ing,
April 8, while Thursday's
schedule included a keynote ad-dress
by Dr. Holmes, "The Con-temporary

"The Social Pressures within the
Christian College" by Dr. Mc-
Kenna.
Discussion groups on the re-sponsibility
of the Christian col-lege
in the world community and
an evening panel discussion of
"Christian Communication" con-cluded
the day's events.
Friday, April 10, Dr. Kantzer
considered "The Role of the Chris-tian
College in the World of To-day
and Tomorrow" and Dr. Mc-
Kenna continued his series with
production of this series, Mounce
will be on sabbatical leave next
year to complete his book.
During today's meeting he out-lined
the procedure he has been
following in writing the commen-tary
on the book of Revelation:
general reading in the field of
apocalyptics, intensive study of
Greek texts of Revelation, an in-ductive
study of the book to de-termine
clues to the meaning of
its true message, a study of lead-ing
commentaries and finally,
the writing of the book.
Tomorrow Dr. Ivan Fahs will be
discussing a project he supervised,
the research method employed and
application of scientific method to
social problems. During first sem-ester

to affiliate with the National As-sociation
of Evangelicals, and to
adopt the recommendations of
the constitutional revisions com-mittee.
Spiceland was elected mid-west
regional chairman in a caucus of
that region.
Bethel students participating
directly in the national convention
were Spiceland, who discussed
"Christianity and the Fine Arts"

Spring Lethargy Strikes
Winter Weary Campus
"Keep off the grass!" signs dot the campus lawn again
and students now look in both directions to see if Eric will no-tice
them running across his growing grass leaving depressed
foot prints in the rain softened earth.
Out on the wide ledge of the college building's front steps
a few diligent students soak up the sunshine as they pore over
another chapter of Western civilization or stare off into space.
Some cynic breaks the silence. "Suppose we'll have more snow
this weekend."
Days are longer now. Along toward evening students
saunter across the campus swinging tennis rackets and bounc-ing
fuz-covered balls on the sidewalk as they go. Voices carry
from the courts to the open dormitory windows across the
street. "My serve. 15 .. 30 .. 40 .. game, How about getting
the ball inside the court this time?"
After dinner couples amble around the block before going
back to the tedium of their books. Maybe they find it true
that in spring a young man's fancy does turn—to thoughts of
a summer job or the next baseball game.
Or if they don't go walking around the block in couples,
they play keep away on the grass with an old ragged softball.
The boys are keeping the ball away from the girls, of course.
As the sun goes down the players lose the ball in the dusky
light and the game is over. Sighing they return to an ominous
stack of books waiting to be quoted in a term paper.
Spring fever is hitting the campus.

Dear Editor:
We, as a dormitory council,
would like to thank the residents
of Edgren dormitory for their co-operation
in the dormitory search
of March 25.
Dormitory council initiated the
search because of an increased in-cidence
of thievery in the dormi-tory.
Although the search was un-fortunate,
we felt that it was a
necessary step toward effective

been offended, we offer our sin-cere

points:

isolate it from the wider context
of orthodox Christian theism. That
wider context includes the major-ity
of protestantism, not to men-

Delegates attending the national
convention of the American Assoc-iation
of Evangelical Students last
weekend felt a mood of serious
study and positive questioning as
the convention sought to find the
place of evangelical higher educa-tion
in the modern world (see page
1.)
Dr. Andrew Holmes of Wheaton
college keynoted the convention
with the fearful question, "Can
Christian higher education prepare
us to live in this day?"
Today Western man is being
de-humanized in a scientific age.
A scientific outlook, which in-terprets
religion as the childhood
of human experience, philosophy
as the adolescence and scientific
experimentation as maturity, is
the basic presupposition.
Such a scientific world has led
to modern predicaments like "The
Organization Man" and "The Lone-ly
Crowd." Unable to find authen-tic
existence in this impersonal
ought to be) descriptive rather
than normative. Art is therefore
logically prior to a philosophy of
the arts, just as the Scriptures are
prior to theology and the English
language to an English grammar
book.
If it were true that "history
shows that the philosopher-aesthe-ticians
have always preceded the
arts," (Martinez), what, pray tell,
would aestheticians have to philo-sophize
about? Art (even decidedly
Christian art) exists with or with-out
the clarifications of aesthetic
philosophers.
In Aristotle's essay "On Po-etry,"
(he is considered the first
aesthetic literary critic), that
great philosopher arrives at his
aesthetic theory by the process
of induction.
His conclusions are used deduc-tively
in the criticism of other
tragedies. Ivory Tower aesthetiz-ing
is the last thing needed by
Christian art. Art must stand as a
corrector of the copy-books of aes-thetic
philosophers and not the
reverse.
Sincerely yours,
David E. Aune
world, man is trying to re-human-ize
himself in many ways.
Communists find meaning in be-ing
a part of a great movement
toward a classless society. And
American ultra-conservatives seek
the "rugged individualist" of a
past age.
College students find a ra-tionale
for a morals revolution in
a relativistic world in which they
find no fixed moral standards or
"raison d'etre."
Modern existentialism is involv-ed
in a desperate struggle to create
meaning where absurdity reigns,
as Alfred Camut so graphically
illustrates in his book The Plague.
Asserting that man is more than
a bundle of behavioral impulses,
Dr. Holmes suggested that modern
man cannot find himself until he
asks, "What about God?" In an-swer
to this question, Christian
higher education sheds light on the
inner questions of modern man.
Dr. Holmes' address establish-ed
the mood for the entire con-vention.
Delegates faced honest-ly
and squarely the backward-ness
of evangelicals in such areas
as the race issue, inner-city prob-lems
and political affairs.
This honesty was not the only
cause for optimism. The intellect-ual
maturity and sobriety, along
with sincere commitment to a Bib-lical
faith, which characterized stu-dents
from both Bible institutes
and liberal arts colleges can only
be labeled "exciting."
Suspicion and religious pride
which once hindered the associa-tion
of some thirty colleges ap-pears
to be a part of the childhood
of an organization determined to
grow to maturity.

Art Class Tours
Eastern Cities
by Dan Martinez
After months of preparation and
anticipation, two carloads of an-xious
students and faculty left
Bethel college campus March 25
for a ten day visit to the nation's
art centers of the East coast in-cluding
Washington, D.C., Philadel-phia
and New York.
The group consisted of Mr. and
Mrs. Gene Johnson, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Nelson, Marvin Bjurlin,
Wendell Carroll, Diane Dirkes,
Dorothy Fischer, Phyllis Larson,
Sue Kattas, Dan Martinez and
Donna Rose.
Art department sponsored the
tour by providing free transpor-tation
and making provisions for
free housing throughout the
tour.
Finally, at 2 a.m. Saturday morn-ing,
we arrived in Washington,
D.C. Most of Saturday we spent in
the National Art gallery.
After Easter morning worship
at National Baptist church, we
were joined by Mr. Julius Whit-inger
(chairman of the music de-partment,
on sabbatical leave)
who guided us through the new
Dulles airport.
Tuesday morning we found our-selves
in Philadelphia, visiting the
Philadelphia Art museum. After
visiting some historic sights, we
departed for New York city.
New York city, the art center of
the world, had so many galleries
and museums that as the trip came
to an end, we lamented not having
more time and physical stamina
to extend our tour.
Thursday evening, Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel Martinez, Sr. served
us supper in their apartment
and Friday morning we were
westward bound.
Although we were glad to arrive
on campus and relax after our hec-tic
tour, we all spoke anxiously
of revisiting the big eastern cities.
and a Thursday night panel dis-cussion
on Christian communica-tion
helped delegates to become
better acquainted.
Students returned to their 35
colleges with a new sense of the
importance and contribution of
AAES. Evangelical colleges of all
persuasions achieved a new unity
at the convention.
This spirit of co-operation and
Christian brotherhood which per-vaded
the convention gives cre-dence
to Dr. Holmes' assertion
that Christian higher education
may change the world.
Senators Meet
Without Quorum
by J. David Patterson
If you were searching for a word
to describe student senate's April
7 meeting, "disappointing" would
spring to your lips.
The meeting which was to have
started at 6:45 was finally can-celled
at 7:10 when it became evi-dent
that there were not enough
senators present to constitute a
bare quorum nor was it likely that
any more would show up.
Mike Rynkiewich was sent out
to round up senators in hopes of
mustering together a quorum.
(If next year's senate is any-thing
like this year's Mike will
become increasingly familiar
with this job.) However, he re-turned
later empty-handed.
This is a deplorable situation.
But the following two easy steps
could insure a quorum at every
student senate meeting.
Initially, the amendment requir-ing
senators to attend three out
of every four meetings could be
revived and passed. It has ceased
to be practical to rely on the
chauvinism of senators to insure
their presence at meetings. Ap-parently,
senators, as highly as
they might be regarded, are prone
to shirk their responsibilities.
Another way to insure sena-tors'
attendance is to elect sena-tors
who are interested in at-tending.
Class elections are at hand and
voters should choose wisely when
selecting a candidate. By "wisely"
I mean to choose the candidate
that demonstrates the most enthus-iasm
in his campaign.
Chances are (contrary to what you
might have been told) enthusiasm
during a candidate's campaign will
indicate the interest that candidate
may have toward his office. If an
officer is indeed interested he will
make every effort to be at senate
meetings.

Opinions expressed in the CLARION do not
necessarily reflect the position of the college
or seminary.
Lion Catholicism, Anglo-catholic-ism,
et. al.
While there undoubtedly is a
dearth of evangelical scholarship
in the area of aesthetic philoso-phy
(as in many other areas),
there is nothing inherent in ev-angelicalism
which ought to re-sult
in a unique aesthetic philo-sophy,
apart from the wider con-text
of Christian theism.
If evangelicals have any contri-bution
to make to the field of
aesthetic philosophy, it will be as
Christian theists, and not as "evan-gelicals,"
"fundamentalists," or
what have you.
I was taken aback at Martinez'
statement that Rader's anthology
does not have a "single selection
which is consistent with evangeli-cal
Christian philosophy." (Weitz
(1959), and Philipson (1961) can
hardly be said to be "more . . .
up-to-date" than Rader. (3rd ed.,
1960).
If this is true, then either my
Weltanschauung is decidedly un-
Christian, or some of the articles
in Rader must be said to be in-consistent
with "Martinezian"
evangelical Christian philosophy.

lations and conflicts between man
and nature.
Upon entering Booth's studio one
is confronted with countless paint-ings
of horses. A few of these are
on view in the student center. His
explanation for this is simple; he
grew up with them and loves them.
He sees them as an artist for their
movements and color rhythm pro-viding
him with the opportunity
for expression.
As observable in these paint-ings,
Booth has fine control of
the formal elements, shape and
form, direction of line, color and
simplicity of design.
Through study of Booth's ab-stract
paintings we see his con-cern
for the inner forces of na-ture,
the constant change and
growth. A very good example of
these ideas providing the basis for
his paintings is the painting titled
"Surging." Its forceful twisting
sweeps and large flowing areas in-vaded
by brilliant growing shapes
causes tremendous motion and
movement.

Annual Banquet "Message in Melody" is the

Featured guest for the evening
is Donald Hustad, formerly direc-tor
of the Moody Chorale and now
organist with the Billy Graham
Evangelistic association. He will
speak on the subject, "The Pas-tor's
Responsibility in Church Mu-sic.
A brief historical survey of the
different types of music will be

Expressionistic paintings of Min-nesotan
Cameron Booth are on ex-hibit
in the student lounge.
The classification of the abstract
expressionist may be applied to
Cameron Booth solely for his use
of expressive abstract color.
But we see in the exhibition cur-rently
on display at Bethel the
greater forward importance, his ex-cellent
control and sensitivity for
color.
Booth, the son of a Presbyter-ian
minister, has had a sound
structural education through the
classes of Walcott, and his own
studies of applications of geo-metry
to cubist paintings, stud-ies
of Cezanne's composition, im-pressionism
and countless analy-sis
of the paintings of the old
masters.
The present exhibition reveals
Booth's intense interest in nature
and landscape in both his realistic
and abstract paintings. In his ear-lier
representative works and in
those on view, and perhaps in his
non-representational paintings, he

then, her plans include a six-week vacation trip to
Sweden. She will fly via Scandinavian airlines to
her native Stockholm.
Leaving May 31, she expects "to visit a few rela-tives"
and tour the Swedish state. Born in Sweden's
capital city, Mrs. Hagstrom emigrated to Chicago
with her parents before she was one year old. She
has revisited Scandinavia twice.
Although retirement plans are still undeter-mined—"
I haven't had time to think about that"—
Mrs. Hagstrom will no doubt remain actively inter-ested
in the college and seminary. "I'm certainly
going to miss working with Bethel and all the
seminary boys," she confessed.
Seminarians have sensed the gap Mrs. Hagstrom's
fall departure will bring. Last month they honored
her birthday and coming retirement by presenting
an engraved watch and a sheaf of red roses.
Paul Evans, senate president, gave a tribute to the
charming white-haired woman when he said, "This
is not a farewell, but a recognition." In characteristic
fashion, Mrs. Hagstrom didn't have time for such
fuss. "I've got to get back to the office. I have 150
exams to get out."
Mrs. Hagstrom retires, but her influence will con-tinue
on campus. Her bright smile and consideration
are a source of encouragement to all who have had
occasion to know her.

Physical education department is doing a fine job of bringing in
outside talent for demonstration purposes. A week before Easter vaca-tion
a semi-pro volleyball team put on a demonstration in the field-house.
The team is from the Minneapolis YMCA. For those attempting
to play the game in intramural competition, and for those who at some
time or another happen to have a chance to play volleyball, the team
demonstrated the techniques of power volleyball. First, they went over
the fundamentals of serving, setting and spiking. Then they pointed out
how a volley should be played.
On Thursday of last week, the department brought in the Gymnastic
team of the University of Minnesota. The team's assistant coach ex-plained
what was happening as the men went through their routines.
The team showed the basic moves in free exercise, tumbling, side horse,
parallel bars, still rings and the high bar. One other event, the long
horse, was not demonstrated because Bethel does not have the appar-atus.
The team had several champions on it, and all were quite proficient
in several events. Thanks to the physical education department on be-half
of the students who appreciated these demonstrations.
Meetr A Royal
Jim Austin, a 21 year old junior, has lettered two years in baseball
at Bethel. In high school in Idaho and California, Jim lettered four
years in baseball and two in basketball. His home is now Cupertino,
California where his father is the pastor of a small, but growing church.
After being graduated from Bethel with a double major in Chris-tianity
and Psychology, Jim plans to go to a seminary. He wants to go
where there is a good pastoral counseling department so he can relate
his major fields of interest into one life work.
For the last two years, Jim has done a fine job
at third base for the Royals. This year he is also one
of the starting pitchers. Coach Dave Cox counts Jim
as one of the more consistent and reliable men on
the team.
This past year Jim has served as a member-at-large
in the student senate. He is also very active
in intrarnurals.

tie. On Saturday the Royals split
a doubleheader with Morris. The
first game went to Bethel 74 and
Morris captured the second by an
11-8 margin.
Royals started out the season
fast with three runs in their
half of the first.
After Bemidji had taken a 4-3
lead in the fifth, Buck homered
following John Dickau's single to
give Bethel a 5-4 lead. The lead
was shortlived, though, as Bemidji
scored two more in the sixth, to
regain the lead. Bethel knotted the
score with a tally in the bottom of
the sixth.
After exchanging runs in the
eighth, Bemidji seemed to have
scored the clinching runs in the
ninth. They led 9-7 as Bethel
came to bat in the final inning.
Buck led off with a single and
Gene Brunzell followed with a
single. Austin reached first when
bunt single, his third hit, and
Brunzell's walk, Austin smashed a
long drive to left and Buck scored
the winning run from third.
In Saturday's first baseball game
Bethel sent freshman Phil Forsline
to the mound. A combined effort
by Forsline and Vince Bloom al-lowed
Morris only 5 hits and 4
runs. Bloom pitched innings 6 and
7, fanning 5 batters and allowing
no hits.
Morris took an early three run
lead with 2 runs in the first and
one in the second. In the bottom
of the third John Dickau led off
with a walk. Dave Buck doubled
him home and scored later on
an error.
In the fourth Duane Johnson
tied the score with a lead-off home-run,
Dickau singled and Buck
scored him again, this time on a
triple. Buck scored on a wild pitch.
Bethel's 5-3 lead was narrowed
by one in the top of the 5th as
Morris tallied. However, the Roy-als
added the insurance runs in
the bottom of the sixth as Dickau
walked, Buck singled and Dave
Guerke singled them both home.
Bethel lost its first game of
the season in the second game.
Morris got to Gene Selander for
6 runs in the first and Bethel
was unable to recover. Once
down 10-2, the Royals came as
close as 10-8 before Morris re-liever
Mike Thomas cooled their
bats.
Big hits came for Bethel in the
4th as Bob Nolin homered over the
370 ft. sign in center to score Doug
Kelly who had singled. Batting
next, Duane "the grape" Johnson
whacked his second homer of the
day.
Dodging elbows, Fred Purcell
literally fights his way to victory.
Purcell won the race with a last
second kick after winning the mile
run in an earlier race.
Track Runners
Win 2nd Place
by Ron Harris
Bethel track team opened its
season on Saturday, April 11 a-gainst
Macalester and Hamline in
a triangular meet. When all of the
points were totaled, Macalester had
99, Bethel 281/2 and Hamline 23.
Fred Purcell, off to his usual
fast start, paced all runners by
winning the mile in 4:32. Rogers
placed fourth with a time of 4:56.8.
In the 440 yard sprint, Jim
Peterson placed second with a
clocking of 51.7.
Ron Bergman placed third with
a vault of 11 feet in the pole vault.
In the 100 yard dash, Don Land
placed fourth with 10.5. Winning
time was 10.0 turned in by Ridge
of Macalester. Land was third in
the 220 yard dash with a time of
24.9. Rich Lawrence placed fourth
with 25.2.
Field events were another
source of strength since Jack
Buss and Stan Miller placed third
and fourth respectively in the
shot put. Buss also placed fourth
in the discus with a 104 foot
throw.
In the mile relay, Bethel, repre-sented
by Williams, Purcell, Bjork-lund
and anchor man Jim Peter-son
placed a close second behind
Macalester.
By far the most thrilling race
of the day was turned in by Pur-cell
in the 880 yard run. Running
second almost the distance of the
race, he challenged his Macal-ester
opponent in the last 20
yards and he won in the back
stretch. Purcell's winning time
was 2:00.4.
After the meet, Coach Gene
Glader commented, "This is the
best effort any Bethel team has
made against Hamline and Macal-ester."
