The proposed amendment creat-ing
an honor system on the college
campus will be discussed by the
student senate next Tuesday even-ing
at 6:45. As the system would
ultimately affect the daily lives of
each student, fundamental issues
need clarification.
According to committee member
David Johnson, the proposal would
create definite principles for aca-demic
and social life that do not
presently exist in concrete form.
The plan deals with principles and
adds no legislation that does not
now exist in reality.
Under the present system the
student is responsible in some
measure to at least six different
administrative agencies. The
honor system would clarify lines
of a student's primary responsi-bility.
More importantly, the proposed
measure would enable the student
committees will be publicity, spir-itual
life, election, class gift, spe-cial
events and a general social
committee.
Backing up Peterson with these
plans will be vice president, Bill
Ledkins; secretary, Gail Erickson;
treasurer, Tom Corneil and senate
representative, Phil Linden.
groes and Creoles. Miss Brisson
said, "It will be much like inner-city
work."
In preparation, these students
have read on the situations and cul-tures
they are going into. They
have talked to Gordon Anderson,
home missions secretary, and they
have prayed individually and as a
group.
Miss Tegenfeldt, who will be
working as a secretary in the main
office of the Wycliffe translators,
says, "We hope to make an impact
on the school and to create as
interest in missions."
body to take a more active part in
the maintenance of its society. The
corporate body of students would
be invested with substantially in-creased
responsibility.
But more than this, the honor
system is intended to be a teach-ing
mechanism to develop individ-ual
moral responsibility. The de-velopment
of such character traits
as initiative, discipline and self-control
will ultimately enable the
student to more effectively assume
a mature role in society.
Since the honor system is a
teaching method, the system is
not primarily intended to stop
all cheating and discipline prob-lems.
Are Bethel students "ready" to
accept the responsibilities of such
a system? "When viewed from the
educational perspective," says sena-tor
Bob Beckstrom, "it is recogniz-ed
that no society would ever 'be
ready' to adopt such a program,
since there would be no need for
it."
As to the practicality of its im-plementation,
"If Bethel is what
we say it is, the system would be
beginning under the most ideal
conditions possible."
Proponents of the plan hope that
a deeper sense of personal integ-rity
will accrue in campus life and
alumni affairs for decades to come
if the plan is adopted. The pro-posed
system is unique among
evangelical colleges across the na-tion.

In Class Elections; Outline New Ideas
Authors Interpret Concepts
Of Honor Board Proposal
The proposed honor system and judicial board are un-familiar
ideas on the campus; they have not been rehashed
year after year, like some issues the senate discusses. Besides
being new, the honor system is complex. It involves every
student, a judicial board, standards of conduct, a process o1
education and more.
Because it is new and complex, few people understand
that the honor system involves more than a court which metes
out punishment for petty offenses. But every student needs to
know what the proposal involves and to evaluate it in the
light of his experience.
But will the student body have the opportunity to under-stand
the proposal for an honor system? Not if they do not
approach the issue with an open mind. Unless senators and
students study the honor system without a preconceived "yes"
or "no," they will not understand the system.
Even if the student body approaches the issue with an open
mind, they still may not have the time to learn what the
honor system involves. If the senate votes "no" next Tuesday,
the issue will be dead before the student body has time to
grapple with the problem, to decide for or against it and to
tell senators how to represent them.
If the senate votes "yes," allowing the honor system to
go to the student body for their vote, students will have more
time to learn about the proposal, to evaluate debate of its pros
and cons and to decide if the honor system should be inaug-urated
at Bethel.
Something as vital and far reaching as the proposed honor
system should not be killed before it can be explored by the
whole campus. To be fair to the student body and the proposal
the senate should pass the amendment for an honor system.

Letters to the Editor:
Complex Idea Deserves Student Reacts to Amendment
Time for Campus Study
by Rod Mason
When the honor system was pre-sented
at the last Senate meeting
many of the senators spoke favor-ably
of it and a few spoke against
it. In later conversation some of
the senators expressed their opin-ions.
Vern Lewis was in favor of it
because "it would centralize the
authority, instead of leaving it
who-knows-where (as in the present
system). The one thing that both-ers
me is that it places too much
responsibility on the person seeing
the crime rather than on the vio-lator."
Bill Carlson added "I'm com-pletely
for it and I feel that any
reservations have been or will
be taken care of by an amend-ment
to this 'experiment'." He
agreed with Lewis that the judic-iary
system would centralize the
authority.
In his opinion it is a case of so-cial
morals over individual inter-est.
"The system will work at least
as well as the present system" be-cause
"the individual's reputation
is at stake in bringing somebody
before the board."
Roger Evans throught that "the
honor system is good if it is ap-proached
sensibly. It emphasizes
basically the freedom of the indi-vidual
student, as Christianity em-phasizes
the individual.
Essentially for it but express-ing
some doubts, Mike Peterson
brought up one of the sticky is-sues.
"It's too legalistic. No mat-ter
what we say the emphasis is
on, honor or system, the pre-dominant
feeling I think the stu-

and the group. "LaBerge applied
himself unsparingly, and the chor-us

great preparation but devotion
with their director to ideals of

Scarlatti, "Serenade" by Franz
Schubert, "A Hymn to the Virgin"
by Benjamin Britten and "Jesu,

Dear Editor:
The average, every day, run-of-the
mill, totalitarian state would
heartily endorse the honor system
upon which our student senate re-cently
"took action."
As the definition of a word is
finally the arbitrary consignment
of a symbol to represent a concept,
there can be little cause for quib-bling
with the definition that the
senate has chosen to assign to the
honor system.
However, the definition tends
to ignore a long, glorious and
utilitarian tradition usually as-sociated
with the word honor—
namely, the concept which the
symbol honor most generally
calls up. A man's honor is his
own, nor is it an implement by
which he deigns to mete out jus-tice,
swift and sure, to the mis-guided
of society.
But the student senate honor,
dear me. The three points of the
honor system: standards which the
students agree to uphold, retribu-tion
for the violator and retribu-tion
for the violator.
But regarding these standards:
"Presently such standards are al-ready
explicit at Bethel." So the
honor system boils down to two
extra methods of enforcing the
standards that be. Or maybe these
will be the only methods.
At any rate, you will have to
admit that with every room-mate's
roommate upon his honor
to see that the other obeys the
standard, it will make for a har-monious
community.
I submit that the honorable ac-tion
is not the one which is foster-ed
by fear; I submit that the safe-guard
of informing in an honor
system is like clothing in rubber
pants the child who promises not
to wet the bed—it smacks of dis-belief;
I submit that the honorable
implies the trustworthy.
I am not here frowning upon
the man who "squeals" on his
fiancee; I am merely stating that
to provide for the violators in a
community committed to a stan-dard,
is to denude the word honor
of all traditional meaning.
Here, then, is the definition
of an honor system: "A kind of
contract by which the student
agrees to uphold certain stan-dards
or norms." Then the stu-dent
who violates the standard
is by definition of the ideal a
non-member of the community.
To expell this violator by means
external to the loneliness of his
own honor, would be to question
the honor of every member of the
community.
And senate's last stand—but an
accumulation of this deadwood
would soon mean degeneration of
the harmonious community. Ah!
Sir Thomas, "Here lies the snag."
John R. Dischinger
Ad Hoc Group
Clarifies Issue
To the Editor:
This letter is to clarify some spe-cific
points regarding the honor
system which we proposed in sen-ate
last week. We cannot deal with
all questions here, of course, but
we feel it only fair that we, the
initiators of this proposal, have a
chance to answer some common
questions.
It must first be understood that
our proposal is by no means com-plete,
nor is it something we are
trying to force on the campus.
Rather, we offer it as something
for the student body to seriously
consider, debate, amend, reject,
accept, but only after honest and
open inquiry into all its implica-tions.
We are the first to admit
that it has some real problems.
Because of its highly contro-versial
nature, the proposal
draws quick reactions. Unfortun-ately,
students often go no fur-ther
than their initial opinion,
whether pro or con. We trust
that this proposal, the result of
several months of research and
thought, is worthy of more con-sideration
than a screwball pan-acea
concocted by a couple of
crackpots. But on to some of the
questions:
How can it be a moral duty to
report a violation which you don't
think involves a moral issue, like
smoking, for instance? At this
point, the issue involved is not
the morality of smoking—it is the
morality of breaking honor. The
student is on his honor to main-tain
the standards imposed by this
society, whether he agrees with
them or not. When the student
breaks a standard, he has broken
his honor to uphold that standard.
Are the honor board and en-forcement
clause necessary? Aren't
we contradicting the meaning of
"honor" by including these? Grant-ed,
we are presupposing "a sense
of honor ... in the Christian stu-dent,"
but from observations of the
present state of things, a sense
which needs cultivating.
At present we say that each
student is on his honor and that
his honor is his own business,
but it is obvious that not all stu-dents
are educated to the impli-cations
of this plaitude. There-fore,
to educate we propose this
honor system. If it is true that
every man's honor is his own
business, then the honor board
will not even have to meet.
Isn't the honor system just a
totalitarian, legalistic means of
forcing all students into a cute
little mold? In the first place, the
honor system differs from our pre-sent
disciplinary procedure and
that of most other campuses be-cause
it is student-initiated and
student-sponsored. It is voted on
by the student body, not forced up-on
us by the administration.
Secondly, the proposed violations
clause is hardly legalistic. "It in no
way expands the present standards
and norms. Thirdly, these stan-dards
are minimal, regarding both
academic and social honor.
Won't reforms in admissions
solve the problem better? This
question assumes that the "prob-lem"
is specific undesirable con-duct
on the part of certain stu-dents
and that the blame is up-on
them. However, the "prob-lem"
is each individual's not re-cognizing
his own responsibility
for seeing that the group stan-dards
and norms are maintain-ed.
The blame still lies with each
individual student.
It looks good on paper, but do
you really think it will work here
at Bethel? If we knew the answer,
there would be no need for talking
about the honor system. We would
either begin it or forget it. But
the question is not "will it work?"
The question we should ask our-selves
is, "Will I agree to it if
we have it?"
The honor system makes a great
demand on each student—it de-mands
honor. It presupposes a
thorough acquaintance with the
workings of the system as well as
the standards. Are we willing to
accept these demands?
These questions are legitimate
questions, and need more consid-eration
than this letter permits.
They have to be dealt with, by
every student. We cannot afford
uncritical, hasty decisions, either
pro or con. If students have ques-tions,
criticisms or suggestions, it
is our hope that out of respect for
the name "student" they submit
them to honest and open evalua-tion.

Cabot Dow thought the proposal
was too revolutionary for the pre-sent.
"I'd be interested in seeing
how it would be presented to the
kids. I think the emphasis will
end up on system. It's a good idea,
but not very practical."
Mike Rynkiewich stated flatly,
"I'm against it, but I may vote for
it to let the student body decide.
An honor system requires maturity,
and we aren't mature because
we're Christians. It's a sorry fact,
but it's true. Also in order for it
to work, everybody has to be for
it. It has great possibilities of
breaking down into 'you tell on me
and I'll tell on you'."
Dr. Dalton, senate adviser, said
"The whole thing calls for the
establishment of the concept that
the interests of the community
must supercede personal loyalties."
He seems to have hit the core of
the problem. Will each individual
student put community interests
before his own?

the CLARION Page 3 Lindholm Takes
Further Training
by Nancy Dean
"I was so excited I almost hit
the ceiling!" was about the way
junior Kent Lundholm expressed
his reaction to a letter he receiv-ed
last week from Gerard Sousay,
world-famous French baritone.
The letter contained some of the
plans Sousay has been making for
Lundholm's summer. "It looked at
first like I would be studying voice
in France, but now it seems I will
probably be in New York city."
How did all this happen?
"Well," explained Lundholm in
his usual quiet yet enthusiastic
way, "I met Sousay on March
third at the Master class."
Open to musicians in the Minne-sota
area, an earlier audition won
Lundholm and five other singers
(most of them professional music
people) the opportunity of singing
before Sousay at the Master class.
As each of the six performed, Sou-say
worked with them on interpre-tation
and technique before an au-dience.
After this class Sousay requested
to see Lundholm alone. Talking
with him for over an hour and a
half, Wexplained that he desired
to help Lundholm in his study for
a career in professional singing.
"I think you should be writing
this article about Sousay," was
the way Lundholm expressed his
feelings about that night and the
letter he had just received.
Guest for the Metropolitan opera
next year, a man who tours nine
months of the twelve and teaches
the rest in his native France, Sou-say
is "one of the kindest, most
humble and unassuming men I've
ever met. I can hardly believe the
personal interest he has taken in
me."
When a young man, Sousay got
his start in professional singing in
a similar way—an older experienc-ed
singer "who had already made
it" took a personal interest in him.
Lundholm's recent letter
brought the news that Sousay is
arranging a summer of voice
training for him in New York
with either Jeanie Tourel, Metro-politan
opera soprano or Pierre
Bernac, Sousay's personal teach-er.
Receiving a Schubert club schol-arship,
but working himself
through Bethel with one year to
go, Lundholm is concerned about
finances for the summer. But in a
letter to one of the musicians, Sou-say
explained, "Richness is in his
voice, not in his pocket."
Commenting on his good fortune
Lundholm said, "This involves a
danger of compromise as in any-thing,
but opportunities like this
give a Christian a chance to be him-self
and be different in his life. It
seems like we Christians entertain
ourselves too much instead of
reaching out to the world as we
should."

Speaking on the Becker
by James Keim
"He was different. He gave
straight answers. Our questions ex-posed
his contradictions."
This was the reaction of stu-dents
to Dr. Lon Ray Call of Unity
Unitarian church, St. Paul, who
spoke at the religious committee's
third and final forum on current
schools of theological thought.
At the forum Dr. Call spoke
for about 35 minutes on the basic
values and claims of liberalism
—and Unitarianism in particular.
After a coffee break the ques-tioning
period began and ran for
another half hour.
Unity of the liberal position, ac-cording
to Dr. Call, lies in its af-firmation
of the central value of
the free exercise of human intelli-gence,
the worth of human bro-therhood,
the rationality of the uni-the
New Testament. He is one of
three American authors to work
on this series.
Purtilo will study at the sum-mer
institute for college and uni-versity
teachers of physiology
through a grant from the National
Science foundation. Six areas of
comparative physiology will be of-fered

and Iowa.
Q. T. Smith will spend his leave
working toward his doctorate at
amendment, he will discuss the
question of prayer in public
schools. Special guests for the
evening will be the classes of 1914,
1939, 1961 and 1964.
A Sunday breakfast will be serv-ed
in Bodien dining hall for par-ents
of 1964 college and seminary
graduates.
Investiture ceremony in the
seminary chapel will take place
at 10 a.m. Baccalaureate service
is scheduled for 11 a.m. in the
fieldhouse with speaker Rev.
Truman Halvorsen, executive sec-retary,
Middle East Baptist con-ference.
Special music will be
provided by the college choir.
Concert band will present a pre-lude

verse and the infinite possibility
of human progress.
Liberals insist that religion is a
personal and not a denominational
phenomenon. The final test of the
"good" is derived from human val-ues.
Dr. Call made no attempt to
disguise the meaning of his be-liefs.
He frankly asserted that
hell is the invention of cruel
men, the "Christ-myth" is not
history but fiction and miracles
are impossible. Some of his theo-logical
jargon explaining these
ideas created semantic problems
but never intentionally.
For Bethel students the contra-dictions
of Dr. Call's metaphysics
were obvious. They were not ob-vious
to him, however, "For truth
is one. But the `Christ-myth' is a
beautiful truth—probably the most
beautiful truth we have. It is found

will continue working in the audio
visual program at Bethel through-out

Bethel Chamber orchestra under
the direction of Robert Berglund
presented its first annual concert
on Saturday night to a crowd as-sembled
in the college auditorium.
Composed of Bethel students
with a few strategically placed
guest musicians, the orchestra per-formed
selections from the late
Baroque period to the present.
Opening selection was a vivaldi
concerto grosso. The concerto
grosso makes use of a small con-certini
group, in this case the
strings, playing against a larger
concerto grosso or the rest of the
orchestra.
An Allegro and Andante by Cor-elli
followed, directed by student
director, Ed Anthony. The number,
in two movements, consisted of a
pastoral andante followed by a
majestic allegro.
After a "Symphony in D Major"
by Sammartini, the listeners were
favored to a beautiful three move-ment,
"Concerto for Horn," by
Wolfgang Mozart played by fresh-man
Ingrid Carlson.
After a short intermission the
orchestra played their most chal-lenging
number of the evening,
a selection from "Die Maester-singer"
by Wagner. Although it
ecicteivaler
in all religions. It is the myth of
the super-man."
Most listeners were frankly mys-tified
at how Dr. Call could accept
obviously contradictory statements
as equally true. He interpreted all
problems in the light of his philo-sophical
monism and was perfectly
willing to allow apparent contra-dictions
to resolve themselves in
ultimate reality.
Two things marred an other-wise
pleasant event. One student
asked why revelation was purely
subjective and could not be in-fallible
or objective for anyone
other than the receiver.
He was dismissed by "Have you
read Emerson, Younghusband ..."
Admitting his philosophical illiter-acy
the student failed to see that
he had received an answer or that
using his library as a club to van-quish
unsophisticated sophomores
was a good policy for Dr. Call to
use.
But the problem was not entirely
one-sided. Several questions asked
by students evidenced lack of tact.
Most questions, however, were
earnest, respectful and carefully
thought out. To those questions
which were not tactful, Dr. Call
showed himself an equal.
was originally scored for a 100
piece orchestra, the 35 piece
group did exceptionally well and
reached a stirring climax in the
final section.
A Mozart "Allegro in C Major"
gave the audience a taste of the
classical period. The number was
stately and precise, typical of Mo-zart's
age.
For their final selections the
orchestra played four numbers
from the "Sound of Music" espec-ially
for the benefit of children in
the audience. At the conclusion of
the concert Anthony presented
Berglund a gift as a token of the
orchestra's gratitude for his hard
work this year.

It looks like Bethel is on its way to another conference title. Two
very decisive baseball wins over Concordia put Bethel way out in front
of the field. But, look at the field. It's good to see us win, but what
kind of win is 14-3? Can we really be proud of a record of such lop-sided
wins? With a fairly young team, and a young coach, both working
real fine, it's time to move up to teams of a higher caliber. In a league
like this there is little room for improvement, little to work for. If we
are working toward a better athletic department we must keep pro-gressing.
Basketball and football have the same problems. The way to im-prove
is to play better teams. If we play games where we have to work
to win, we will improve. Now is the time to make our move. We've had
winning seasons and more high school athletes are considering Bethel
as a school where they can combine their Christian experience with a
good athletic program. We must progress or become stagnant.
Coaches are having a hard time scheduling schools to play. After
last year's homecoming football game, Northwestern's coach refused to
even look at a contract for future games. Other teams have been drop-ping
Bethel from their schedule. Who can we play? We've been invit-ed,
unofficially, to join the Minnesota Inter-collegiate Athletic conference
(M.I.A.C.) several times. Why not think seriously about moving up to
this better league within the next couple of years?

Eddie Carlson comes from Iron Mountain, Michigan where he play-ed
four years of tennis in high school. His senior year Eddie took third
in the regional singles. He also skied four years in the downhill slalom.
Here at Bethel Ed has lettered three years in tennis and is on his
way to a fourth. As a freshman Ed started as number six man on a six
man squad. Now he is number two man with his eye on number one.
In the conference match in 1962 Ed and Larry Pet-erson
took the doubles championship. Ed has about
a 15-15 record for his career.
This year he has served as first vice-president
in the student senate. He is also student director in
the male chorus. While he has been at Bethel, Ed has
been in the band, athletic committee and Edgren
dorm council.
After graduation this spring with a biology
minor, Ed will go to graduate school at the University
of Minnesota in zoology or anatomy.

Bethel Royals raised their lea-gue
record to 6-0 and their sea-son's
record to 9-3 with two twin-bill
sweeps last week. The first,
on Wednesday, a double win over
Bethany Junior college. The sec-ond,
on Saturday, over Concordia
college of St. Paul.
In Wednesday's first game Gene
Selander picked up his first vic-tory
against one defeat with a re-lief
performance. Bethel scored 10
runs in the first inning to put the
game on ice.
The game was stopped after 5
innings when Bethel had rolled
to a 16-4 lead in the big first
inning achieved on only four
hits scattered between sev-eral
Bethany errors and four
costly walks.
Jim Austin and John Dickau
walked. Gene Brunzell reached on
an error. Dave Gehrke and Bob
Nolin walked. George Harvey sing-led
to drive in two as Duane John-son
reached first on a miscue.
Jerry Moulton singled, Austin sin-gled
and Dickau homered.
Thirteen men went to the plate
and Bethel had a 10-0 lead. Other
big hits in the game included a
homerun and two doubles by
Gehrke. Bethel dominated all sta-tistics
in the first game.
In the second contest Bethel
won 3-1 with Doug Kelly gaining

the victory. Bethel scored first
in the second, without benefit of
a hit, because Harvey was hit by
a pitch and moved around on
three walks.
Royals added another run in the
third on Harvey's first homerun of
the season. A third tally came in
the seventh when Dickau singled
Gehrke, who had doubled, home.
Bethany's only run came in the
bottom of the seventh.
Royals found the sailing even
smoother on Saturday as they bat-tered
a hapless Concordia team 10-
2 and 14-3. In the opener Moulton
won his fourth straight assignment.
Supported by 11 hits, including
three of his own, Moulton eased to
the victory.
Three runs in the first and
two in the second inning gave
Bethel all the runs they needed.
In the first Austin took base on
an error to start the rally. After
Dickau had walked, Dave Buck
tripled them both home and
scored later on an error. In the
second inning Brunzell's triple
scored both Dickau and Buck for
the second time.
Royals added another in the
third and three more in the fifth.
Following singles by Moulton and
Dickau, Dave Buck hit his second
homerun of the year and third hit
of the day. Buck's performance in-cluded
five big RBI's.
Austin pitched the second game,
which was an abbreviated four inn-ing
game. The 14-3 Bethel lead
forced an end to the slaughter.
Concordia's pitchers were un-able
to control the ball as they
gave free passes to four straight
Bethel batters in that hectic
third inning.
A seven run flurry in the second
was accompanied by six Bethel
safeties. After Jim Friberg had
walked, Johnson singled, Austin
singled, Dickau singled and Buck
hit his third homer of the year. A
walk to Gehrke and a homerun by
Brunzell finished the scoring in
the second.
Johnson added his third home-run
of the season in the third and
drove in Harvey who had reached
on an error.
This week the Royals face Mar-tin
Luther Tuesday at Dunning
field and Willmar Junior college
at Willmar on Saturday.
