'4" , . Volume XLI—No. 9 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, November 17, 1966 College ChoirAnticipates Autumn Concert, Touring The Bethel College Choir under, the direction of Dr. Robert Berg-lund will present its fall concert on November 21, at 8:00 p.m. in the fieldhouse. The fall concert effort is a rela-tively new tradition to the college choir which in past years has con-fined itself strictly to the per-formance of sacred music. The fall concert is primed for a wide range of musical taste. Pops music will be highlighted by Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". Romantic selections will include Brahm's "Gipsy Songs", and "Sure On This Shining Night" by Agee. "Polovetsian Dance and Chorus" from the opera "Prince Igor" cre-ated by Russian nationalist com-poser Alexander Borodin will also be performed in addition to selec-tions of a religious nature — Mas-cagne's "Lord, Now Victorious" for two choirs, and several Ren-naissance numbers. The Fall Concert tradition is an effort by the college choir to dem-onstrate its competence as a Chris-tian choir in the wide-ranging world of secular and religious mu-sic. Dr. Berglund states that the concert is not intended to pro-vide a spiritual experience only, but also to provide an oppor-tunity for students to participate in an aesthetic experience. The college choir has been en-gaged in a regrouping of forces as many voices are new to the organization. Dr. Berglund is hope, ful that this year's choir will deg velop its own sound and have its own distinct personality from choirs in past years. Next Spring the choir will make a tour to California. In the future, the choir is planning a trip to Europe as the Male Chorus did last year.

The ASIS can place students in temporary summer work in Great Britain, France, Germany, Switzer-land, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Finland Norway, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, Austria, Israel and Liech-tenstein. ASIS has many new job open-ings within categories that in-clude resort hotel work, office work, factory work, hospital work, child care work, ship work, construction work, farm work, sales work, and camp counseling work. Wages range to $400 a month for the highest paying positions in West Germany and the working conditions and hours are exactly the same as those of the Europeans with whom the students work. In most cases room and board are provided free but if not, the stu dent worker lives independently in the city where he is working. In any case living accomodations are prearranged. Every student placed in a sum-mer job in Europe attends a 5-day orientation period in the Grand, Duchy of Luxembourg that in-cludes cultural orientation tours to Germany, France, Belgium, Hol- St. Mary's College of Winona, Minnesota has scheduled for Dec-ember 2, 3, and 4 a seminar con-cerned with "The American Col-lege Student and Unbelief." Fea-tured as a panelist and as a speak - er will be Donal Thorman, publish-er of the National Catholic Report-er, acclaimed to be the emerging voice of American liberal catholi-cism. The seminar is sponsored by the land and Luxembourg, blackboard sessions, on the scene language, practice, and lectures given by Eu-ropean university professors. Although there is usually no foreign language requirement for the jobs, students are given the opportunity to experience native European situations dur-ing, the orientation period. Blackboard sessions and talks cover such subjects as how to save money while in Europe, low cost transportation, shopping discounts and inexpensive living accomodations. ASIS claims that this do-it-your-self, on the scene method of prep-aration is the only way to adjust rapidly to the European way of life. The ASIS, in its tenth year oii operation, also supplies job ap , plicants, at no extra cost, with a complete set of language records of the language of the country in which the applicant will be work-ing, a student pass allowing the bearer student discounts through-out Europe, complete health and! accident insurance while in Eu-rope, and a comprehensive infor-mation service about living and traveling in Europe. The ASIS also offers travel ar-rangements that greatly reduce the cost of the summer in Eu-rope. Student applicants are also free to make their own travel arrangements to and from Eu- National Federation of Catholic College Students. Questions which the seminar wishes to consider are: What is your belief in God? Is your faith in God really rele-vant to your life? The news re, lease states that the only necessary preparation for the seminar is a serious self appraisal. Cost of the seminar is $1.50 per student. Those wishing to attend should contact P.O. Box 93. ation Affords Opportunity rope. ASIS expects that a great many students participating in the alai ter flishts sponsored Liy their school will want a summer job in Europe. The purpose of the ASIS job-in- Europe program is to provide ev-ery college student with the op-portunity to see Europe, to in-crease his cultural knowledge through travel and at the same time to earn and save money. Students with limited budgets would not otherwise be able to see Europe. The student worker also has a golden opportunity to acquire a speaking knowledge of a foreign language.

The documentary, titled "A Time For Burning," portrays the tensions which erupted in Oma-ha in recent years when a Lu-theran minister attemped to ar-range interracial visits among Lutheran parishioners. Tuesday, November 8, marked the kickoff day for this year's Pre- Seminary Student's Association, commonly known as the Pre-Sem Club. Elected to club offices were: Calvin Swanson, President, Dave Holland, vice President, Craig Car-mean, Sec.-Treas. Also a part of the cabinet will be Pastor Al Glenn who was not elected to his post. Future meetings of the club will be held on the second Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in the Seminary Hall Chapel. Some flex-, ibility of schedule will be reserved to accomodate guest speakers. A release by President Calvin Swanson states the purposes of the organization under the following points: 1) to acquaint students with aspects of the Christian ministry. 2) to orientate students with the functions and structure of the sem-inary, 3) to give practical training for immediate Christian service. 4) to foster a spiritual tone of lifq, on campus. President Swanson feels that the Pre-Sem Club is an excellent op-portunity to consider a profession in the clergy. "One's experience in Pre-Sem club may not give one new possibilities for archeologi-cal investigation. You may help in this important work, earn credits, make interna-, tional friends and receive valuable training in archeology, by joining7 a program sponsored by the Asso-ciation for Cultural Exchange, thq British non-profit organization. Volunteers first join a three week seminar for training in Brio tish archeology and excavation techniques at Wesminster College, Oxford. They then split up into small groups for three or more weeks "digging" on an archeologi-cal site. Total cost of the program is 685 dollars, including round-trip air transportation from New York. Part scholarships are a-vailable to suitable students with a "B" plus average. Write now for further details to United States Representative: As-sociation for Cultural Exchange, 539 West 112th Street, New York 10025. Closing application date is expected to be the beginning of January 1967. THE answer, but one will certain-ly have a wider view of the areas of possible service," stated Presi-dent Swanson. Questions to be considered by the Pre-Sem Club include: What is a call to the ministry?, How -does one know it?, What are good academic majors for pre-seminary students?, What about the Draft?, Which seminaries might one con-sider?, What is the scope of ser-vice for a Seminary student? Senate Initiates Escort Service This week begins the operation at Bethel of a special escort ser-vice, under the sponsorship of Stu-dent Senate, to provide transporta tion back to campus or off-campus homes for girls who work outside the general campus area at night. The project was conceived as a Bethel service when girls involved brought to Senate attention the very real need for rides to be available late in the evening. First introduced to the Senate in October, and after passage put under the direction of Dave C. Anderson, the service was put into effect following a brief presenta-tion in chapel Tuesday morning. Papers on which one could in-dicate either need for a ride or availability of a car were distri-buted through the post office box-es the day of the presentation. After the initial matching, all arrangements will be strictly be-tween the two parties concerned, a payment of ten cents per mile being paid directly to the driver. Although Bethel has not tried this plan before, it has been used quite successfully elsewhere, par-ticularly at Trinity College in Chi. cago.

More than three centuries ago, the Pilgrims, after a year of hardship and peril, humbly and reverently set aside a spe-cial day upon which to give thanks to God for their preserva-tion and for the good harvest from the virgin soil upon which they had labored. Grave and unknown dangers remained. Yet by their faith and by their toil they had survived the rigors of the rash New England winter. Hence they paused in their labors to give thanks for the blessings that had been, beStowed upon them by Divine Providence. This year, as the harvest draws near its close and the year approaches its end, awesome perils again remain to be faced. Yet we have, as in the past, ample reason to be thank-ful for the abundance of our blessings. We are grateful for the blessings of faith and health and strength and for the imperishable spiritual gifts of love and hope. We give thanks, too, for our freedom as a nation; for the strength of our arms and the faith of our friends, for the beliefs and confidence we share; for our determination to stand firmly for what we believe to be right and to resist mightily what we believe to be base; and for the heritage of liberty bequeathed by our ancestors which we are privi-leged to preserve for our children and our children's children, I urge all citizens to make this Thanksgiving not merely a holiday from their labors, but rather a day of contempla, tion. I ask the head of each family to recount to his children the story of the first New England Thanksgiving, thus to impress upon future generations the heritage of this nation born in toil, in danger, in purpose, and in the conviction that right and justice and freedom can through man's efforts per severe and come to fruition with the blessing of God. Let us observe this day with reverence and with prayer that will rekindle in us the will and show us the way not only to preserve our blessings, but to extend them to the four corners of the earth. Let us by our example, as well as by our material aid, assist all peoples of all nations who are striving to achieve a better life in freedom. John F. Kennedy 411111. AM, Weeodutatt4 Eleept9a-- Senate President Keim Summarizes NSA Structure, Political Implications by Jim Keim This is supposed to be an "objective" article about the National Student Association (NSA) — quite a large task. The NSA has gotten its fingers into almost everybody's pie so that probably the best approach is to begin with the organizational divisions and then discuss the general political tenor of its declarations. The legislative and policy making body of NSA is the National Student Congress. It meets annually during summer vacation and is comprised of dele-gates selected by either the student government or the entire student body of member schools. There are also a Congress Steering Committee, the Supervisory Board, and the National Officers and advisors. Among the last category are Arthur S. Flemming, Rev. T. M. Kesburgh, C.S.C. (pres-ident of Notre Dame), and Ursell Kirk (of NATION-AL REVIEW). The continuing year-round services for students include the Student Government Information Service (a lending library of original material on the programs of other colleges), the Educational Travel Bureau (low cost tour and travel arrangements for students who want to work, study, or travel abroad), an in-surance program, and a direct discount service (both at home and abroad. Besides these the Publications Department puts out numerous books on student government and rights, international affairs, higher education, and community involvement. The administrative budget runs about $225,000 of which $18,000 comes from membership dues and $180,000 from contributions and grants from such organizations as the Ford Foundation, AFL-CIO, National Institute of Mental Health, and the Depart-ments of State and Health, Education and Welfare. Now this is pretty innocent. It doesn't account at all for the furvor over NSA. What is it that has caused the sensation? There are two factors. One, the National Student Congress passes resolutions concerning everything from student rights and academic affairs to foreign policy. The national office is then empowered to promote the policy both in lobbying and in educa-tional material to member student leaders. It is the content of these resolutions which has caused so much discussion of Bethel's place in the NSA. The past summer the most controversial motions concerned the draft, Viet Nam, Black Power, and marijuana. The last of these has caused the interest at Bethel. From all reports, the resolution concluded that "marijuana is no more dangerous to health than beer and other alcoholic beverages. Laws pro-hibiting the sale of marijuana to non-minors should be repealed."

Gaining 45 seats in the House, three seats in the Senate and six new governorships, the Republican Party has — well, frankly — it's Nixon in '68. Science: Gemini 12, next to the last in a series of pre-moon flights, ap-pears, despite minor difficulties, to be another successful step in our reaching the moon. At five miles per second, pilot Edin E. (Buzz) Aldrin stood' in his open cockpit for two hours and twenty minutes taking snapshots of the "heavenly bodies" while his flight partner, James A. Lov-e!, manned the controls. Perhaps in '68 or '69 the United States will have a man on the moon. Twenty years ago this was unthinkable but, yes, now it is, about to be realized — due to our administration's "Iunartic," space program. Sports?: It's that time of year again: Inter-institutional warriors have pounded their peers, for months, in fierce combat — all in prepara-tion for the coming big ones. Which will it be: Rose Bowl? Or-ange Bowl? Cotton Bowl? Rice Bowl? What Bowl? — Rice Bowl. Yes, this year there has been a new bowl game added: the U.S. Doves vs. the V.C. Hawks. Al-ready the men are under intense training and, as usual, pre-game pranks have been the vogue. The purpose of the big game is to celebrate the coming of harvest, and the prize is 2.6 million tons of rice. A crowd of 50,000 is expected at the Mekong Delta Stadium. by Leonard Sammons There is no doubt in most of our minds that the Bethel College Student Center is a dead place. The bookstore is properly isolated and cast a forboding air around, it; the Coffee Shop consists of white walls, tables, chairs, benches, and little else; and the lounge has chairs, benches, and tables in constant disarray in what must prove to the visitors who walk through the misplaced entrance to be an apalling sight. Yet the situation has remained status quo and no one has seemed to care. Though a Presidential Can-didate included Coffee Shop re-form in his platform, he was de-feated and nothing more has been done. Then last week an inspired Senate established a committee to look into the Coffee Shop and it the Senate on what could be done. The committee of Linda Olson, Priscilla Anderson, and Bill Led-kins met with Mr. Eugene John-son and came up with some good ideas in a week's time—a giant task for which they are to be complimented. Their report included as sugges-tions removing the ugly parti-tion separating the Coffee Shop from the lounge, painting the walls, having art exhibits, revising the floor plan, and revising the lighting. Miss Olson, mentioning that the coffee shop lacks personality sug-gested having a "folksy-type pro-prietor" behind the counter. Mon-ey to finance these things would come from the Senate, the admin-istration, and special events. Later in new business a motion by Miss Olson to establish a committee to study special Saturday night events in the coffee shop was approved. Also this week the Senate dis-cussed this column. Dick Schultz and Jim Keim implied that false. hood has appeared in this col-umn. However, neither of them mentioned any examples. It should be added that they were not asked to but even if they had they would not have been able to give any because this observer has written no false-hood in this column, excepting possibly when the Senate as a whole has been misinformed, and he deeply resents this smear campaign. A report from the treasurer, Miss Teri Mounce, showed that Homecoming made a profit of more than $1000. This money, then, is unbudgeted surplus. Therefore, our Senate saw fit to give $700 to the hockey team, whom this observer feels will be able to put it to good use. The last attempt of the noble cause to get Bethel out of the . National Students Association fail-ed. Because for the first time since March 15, 1966, the roll-call vote was resorted to, an accurate ac-count can be made of who was on which side. Those who stood up in these trying moments when the motion to leave was defeated 12-4 were John Sailhamer, Ken Lewis, Bill Ledkins, and Dave Anderson. May the NSA issue be left dead now until next year. From this some have 'concluded that the name of Bethel is being dirtied. Others fail to be bothered by our association. The problem of our member-ship in such an organization will come home in a different form very shortly. Resolutions passed by the National Student Con-gress are to be sent to member schools for approval or disap-prova I. So the question appears again, writ large: "Does the Senate or Student Body wish to identify it-self with any political position?" That, I think is the old and new question of NSA.

Letters to the Editor: Letters See Courtesy, War, Attitudes To the Editor: I'm not sure why I'm writing this letter — probably to attempt to create more sensitivity on the part of individuals who think the Phy-sical Education Department is only a place to give vent to their frus-trations. If I had a title to this short dissertation it would be "Thoughts While Proctoring a Test for Miss Anderson on Friday, Nov-ember 11, 1966, 8:45 a.m." All was relatively quiet as the students started their mid-semes-ter exam. As they pondered over their questions, the following went on: 1) Suddenly from the adjoining room came the extremely loud throb of the punching bag! Dur-ing a lecture this helps to keep students awake but during at test —NO. 2) The chapel organist at 9:10 pulled out all the stops and must have thought she was in the Min-neapolis Auditorium. The music was great—but not during a mid-semester exam. She did stop the moment I mentioned the test Thanks. 3) The maintenance men (bless their hearts, I love them all) must have been using dynamite and earth-moving equipment to da something in the gym. They are by Art Blessing Last week, in chapel, the 1966 Minnesota Project of the "Faith In Life Dialogue" was presented. The film "Care of the City" was an excellent introduction to this November project known as the "TWIN CITIES TOWN MEETING." One of the curses of urbaniza-tion has been a breakdown in in-ter- personal communication. Feel-ings of anonymity, helplessness, and the "lonely crowd" syndrome plague us. The purpose of the Town Meeting project is to create a climate of interest, concern, and communication or dialogue about the many problems of modern ur-ban living. Many of the ideas of the Town Meeting come from the German Protestant Lay Academies which were formed in Germany im-mediately after World War II. The academies sought to re-eval-uate the place of religion in solving the many complex prob-lems of society. In addition, the project is based on three previous experiments: Brookings, South Dakota, 1963 Fargo-Moorehead, 1964; and the Duluth-Northern Lakes Area, 1965. Cities all across the nation are observing the Twin Cities this month, and many of them are plan-ning similar programs in the near future. The director of the project is Reverend Loren E. Halvorson, a Lutheran minister who spent sev-eral years working closely with one of the German lay academies Although the project is non-sectar-ian, it does seek to encourage people to seek answers to moral and social issues from the pers-pectives of their particular con-victions and/or religious faith. The purpose is not primarily one of social action, but rather one of EDUCATION, both initial and, hopefully, continuing edu-cation of Twin Cities residents. The instruments for performing this task are many: college semi-nars, school assemblies, radio and television programs, neighborhood discussion groups, civic, religious, the greatest guys on campus but they overdid it this morning. 4) The chapel choir apparently, needed practice and of this I am in favor — I appreciate the music department! I suggested to the stu-dent director that he move to the gymnasium to practice. He prompt-ly suggested I move my class. I will give his indignant attitude the benefit of a doubt and hope it was a result of his concern to do well as an aspiring conductor. (He came to me after chapel and apol-ogized — I appreciated his apology and understand the pressure that was on him as he, for the first time, directed chapel choir.) Their indispensible robes were in the classroom where the test was being taken. My hard heart mellowed and I let the choir in for their robes — SO, as at least 80 feet stomped to the robe closet, and the organist bellowed out "Finlandia," Miss Anderson's stu-dents tried hard to formulate on paper their thoughts on Oberteuf-fer's and Ulrich's philosophy about the American belief in self-direc-tion, self-realization, and self- dis-cipline. (Forgive me for revealing part of a test question — John Carmean was absent.) I guess my plea is really this — when the new campus becomes a and professional organizations, lit-erature, recommended books and motion pictures, and so on. Bethel students are urged to become actively involved in this significant experiment. A faith which is not expressed and applied to the everyday problems of life soon becomes irrelevant and sick-ly. The Faith In Life Dialogue may become a major help in planning church renewal. A schedule of the many radio and TV broadcasts is posted on the Social Sciences Bulletin Board. Several of the TV pro-grams will feature a "feedback" survey in which the viewers may register their viewpoints by punching out a perforated card which will then be mailed in for computation of the results. Area newspapers are also carrying many related articles. Many area churches, including several of our Conference churches, have formed discussion groups. Further information, literature, and a 43 page study guide may be obtained from the nearby Town Meeting office at 2477 Como Ave-nue. The telephone number is 645. 0365. Mrs. Turritin will be the German instructor until Miss Effie Nelson recovers from her illness. Mrs. Turritin will be teaching elementary and intermediate Ger-man. Previous to Bethel she taught for three years at Augsburg lege, and has just finished an-other replacement duty at St. Catherine's College. She has her B.A. from the Uni-versity of Wisconsin and her M.A. from the University of Minnesota. In the meantime, Miss Nelson will be recovering in Midway Hos-reality, I hope it will not include a multipurpose building such as we have now. As I close this letter to the strains of "America the Beautiful" (a favorite song of mine) I realize I am late for chapel so I will promptly make haste from this classroom to our worship service. Forgive me if I sound like a rebel — I'm not! As Walter Cron-kite would say, "This is the way it was on November 11, 1966." Sincerely, Miss Starr To the Editor, As I walked out of chapel thiq morning, (Tuesday, November 8) I felt very uneasy. I agreed with both speakers concerning their hate for the evil of war. But I thought of the Christian boys over in the Viet Nam who, according to many, should breathe a prayer of confession as they pull the trigger; What kind of Christian willfully sins over and over and dares ask God again and again for forgive-ness? Perhaps a 11 Christians should become pacifists? I person-ally don't know. Is killing in such a war sin? What is our Christian duty to our country? What about the Canaan-ite destruction of long ago? Does the new covenant of grace nullify divine sanction of any war? If we as a nation were to pull out of Viet Nam, would the results be more evil than the war conditions right now? Obviously, I'm confused. But I feel Christianity, somewhere, holds the answer. Today, Viet Nam, on Christian grounds, was condemned. But we still have a war. Christians are still pulling triggers, and vot-ing levers for candidates who sup-port the war. What would Christ have us to do? Perhaps another chapel on this subject is in order. Susan Gliberg To the Editor, Like all transfer students, I have been critically appraising Bethel since my arrival in September. And frankly, I like most of what I see and hear. However, I have noticed that the disease common to higher educa-tion has reached epidemic propor-tions on our campus. It is usually called pseudosophistication. The main symptom is the failure on the part of the students to re-spond or react outwardly to any-thing, whether it be intellectual, spiritual, even recreational. I assume the cause is fear of negative opinion from one's peers. I prescribe a large dose of courage and honesty for all Bethelites, my-self included. A disappointed transfer student pital.

Miss Helen Moberg will also as sist in the German Department, teaching German literature. by Morris I. Leibman Member of the Illinois Bar and Cairman of Standing Committee on Education against Communism of the American Bar Association There is a standard against which we should regularly test basic issues of foreign policy. That standard is the historical and continuous struggle of human beings for freedom and dignity. This must be our basis in confronting Breshnev and Kosygin. We are right because the history of man proves it. Domestic issues must also be measured against man's historic struggle for liberty. For the history of the advance of world Communism overwhelmingly provides the evidence that they will seize upon any situation approximating dissent for propaganda purposes. In seeking to improve tomorrow, it is our duty to remember where we have been and reflect on where we are. Our goals are set forth in the Declaration and buttressed by a Constitution, a sys-tem of checks and balances which permits the continuation of western civilization's spirited dialogue. This unhampered dialogue makes possible the opportunity to continuously approximate our moral and spiritual goals. For we live in that instant of time when it can be said that never before have 190 million people enjoyed so much material benefits however imperfect their distribution. The multiplication of consumer wealth, however, is subordinate to our greatest accomplishment — the► fashioning of the law society. There is an obligation to that law society. No society, free or tyrannical, can give its citizens the "right" to break the law. There can be no law to which obedience is optional; no command to which the States attach an "if you please." But what has happened to us? Why is it necessary at this time to repeat what should be axiomatic and accepted? What is the re-sponsibility of a citizen? Unequivocally the continuing social task for the morally sensitive citizen is to impart reality to the yet un-achieved ideal of full and equal participation by all and in all our values and opportunities. There are no easy solutions for man's in-humanity to man. There is nothing new in violence. Throughout mankind's history it has been too often a way of life. Whole continents have been involved in riot, rebellion and revolution. A large part of the world lives behind the ugly iron and bamboo curtains of Communism. But this cannot justify terror in the North or in the South. No individual or group at any time, for any reason, has a right to exact self-determined retribution. All too often retaliation injures the innocent at random and provokes counter-retaliation against those equally in+ nocent. Our imperfections do not license tearing down the structures which have given us our progress. The only solution is the free and open law society. In this frame of reference let us identify certain current forces whose aim is to destroy the law society. The inexorable requirement of Communism to exploit every dif, ference betwen men should now be clearly understood. Yet we seem to be surprised, confused, even bitter about Communist intervention in our civil rights problems. What could be a more natural target for Communist usage? Ethnological warfare is a widely exploited revolutionary tactic. To the Communist all means are justified by the end — a basic con-cept we of the law society reject. These Communists have many imitators. Those who reject our legal methods and choose terror, force, violence, hate and bigotry only play into the hands of the international Communist conspiracy. The jungle lawlessness of the frontier demonstrated to the pioneers that only the installation of American juridical proceedings would enable them to weld together the disparate territories into one na-tion. I am deeply troubled by certain concepts which have sought ac-ceptability: "Freedom Now" and "Righteous Civil Disobedience". "Freedom Now" is an illusion. The desire for self-expression can be satisfied only in an atmosphere of freedom, and freedom is not absolute. It exists only within the confines of the necessary restraining measures of society. The cry for immediacy is the cry for impossibility. What is possible is to continue to patiently build the structures that permit the development of beter jusice. What about the concept of "righteous civil disobedience?" It seems to me that there is an inherent contradiction in the con-cept of premeditated, "righteous", civil disobedience. Such a concept is wholly incompatible with the concept of the American legal system. This is particularly axiomatic in a society such as ours where the law is not static and where, if it is claimed to be oppressive or coercive, many effective channels for change are constantly available. Our legislatures have regularly met the changing times and changing needs of the society with consideration for the unalienable rights of all. Our law has not only been a guardian of freedom, but the affirmative agent for freedom. A grave danger is presented where the idea of civil disobedience may evoke sympathy in a cause which seems just. For once we accept such a doubtful doctrine, we legitimatize it for other causes which should be rejected. We would set a standard of conduct which then must become acceptable for all. Thus we sub-stitute pressure for persuasion and squander the carefully nurtured value of self-restraint and jeopardize the system of law.

What Plagues College Men?-the Draft Page 4 the CLARION Thursday, November 17, 1966 by Roberta Parks If you have been hearing a lot of loud groans lately, if you've been seeing a lot of sick looks on otherwise healthy faces, there's a good reason: the Bethel class of 1970 are either presently taking, or have just taken, their first col• lege mid-terms. The mention of the very word `mid-term' can strike terror into the heart of the innocent, unsus-pecting, and unprepared. Immediately thoughts of that little extra studying that could have been done creep disturb-ingly into the mind and it is with by no means a mild dread of the unknown that many Beth-el freshmen faced their first "cram" sessions. After some tests had been tak-en, reactions varied from feeling that they were "Kind of fun" to loud groans and that limp, empty, tired feeling. The majority of the students were simply glad to have them over and done with. Many felt that they were good preparation for semester finals and a good chance to discover what, percent of the facts you were sup-posed to have assimilated you ac-tually had. Some specific and in-dividual reactions were: "Uhg," WASHINGTON (CPS) — There seems to be no direct relationship between high grades in college and professional success in later life, two recent studies indicate. Dr. Eli Ginzberg, a New York researcher, studied a group of Columbia University graduate stu-dents who had won fellowships to the school between 1944 and 1950. Ginzberg's task was to find out how successful the 342 students had become 14 years after they completed their fellowships. The findings showed students who had graduated from college with honors, who had won schol-astic medals or who had been elected to Phi Beta Kappa were more likely to be in the "lower professional performance levels" than students who had not dis-tinguished themselves while in college. In another survey, a team of University of Utah professors found there is almost no relation-ship between the grades a medical student gets and his later per-formance. This finding startled the leader of the research team, Dr. Phillip B. Price. He called it a "shocking finding to a medical educator like myself who has spent his pro-fessional life selecting applicants for admission to medical school." He added that the study caus-ed him to question the adequacy of grades not only in selecting those who should be admitted to medical school but also in measuring a student's progress. There are numerous theories at-tempting to explain these surpris-ing findings. The most common one affirms that the over-emphasis on grades which begins when a student is in junior high schooll and continues throughout his aca-demic career tends to destroy in-terest in learning for its own sake. John Holt, an educator and author of "Why Children Fail," observes that current school meth- "Help," "I feel brainwashed," and "What exceptional (!?) tests." Many freshmen were bothered by sections of the tests. A usual complaint was that it was hard to concentrate and do your best when in a room with a hundred and fifty other people. While a majority felt that the tests were fair, a sizable group felt that too many unimportant details were added at the expense of really important concepts. Another frequent complaint was that there was too much pressure because the tests were too close together. Approximately half of the stu-dents interviewed felt that the mid-terms weren't as nightmar-ish as had been expected. About seventy percent felt that they were no harder than a high school test covering the same amount of material and most felt that the teachers had done a good job preparing them for their first college mid-terms. Taken in total, it seems that there exists a feeling that while mid-terms aren't exactly the nicest things in the world, they do serve a purpose and since they are in-escapable, there's no use fighting them. ods destroy love of learning by encouraging students to work for petty rewards — names on honor rolls, gold staffs, for the "ignoble satisfaction of feeling they are bet-ter than someone else." The Student Missionary Project for the summer of 1967 was out-lined in chapel Wednesday, Nov-ember 2. The purposes of the Stu-dent Missionary Service Program can be classed according to the groups of people who benefit from it. These are (1) the missionaries, (2) the participating students, and (3) the returning students' campus and community. One of the major goals of the program is to help the missionary accomplish more of his main pur-pose during the summer—whether this is in the form of medical work, Bible translating, or direct evangelization. The student frequently can take an active part in the mission-ary's activities. More often, how-ever, the student is able to help by doing many of the time con-suming tasks necessary for living which keep the missionary from his primary job. It is also hoped that the student will prove helpful in a way not nearly as evident: in providing youth, new ideas, and opportunity for exchange and sharing of con-temporary thoughts. Lastly, the missionaries will have the chance of expressing their own concern to someone who, after be-ing personally involved in the work for several weeks, will be returning to the States, where this by Don Looser It wasn't exactly a psychiatric ward; it was just a college infirm, ary room with no windows and a 6'4" male nurse. It had all started innocently enough with a gorgeous fall morning — the kind that makes you wish you were any-where but where you are. It was so wonderful that I decided to get up for breakfast for the first time that semester. As I padded down the hall in my Bermuda shorts and Indian mocca-sins (a gift of my Indian-in-law uncle), I had the great misfortune to encounter our dorm director. I don't know what yours looks like, but ours resembled a runner-up for the Abominable Snowman A-ward. He said that the folks had written him wanting to know why I had not written since first sem-ester. (Actually, I had written them the night before — asking for money.) So I promised to write, but this shot all prospects of an en-same information can be passed on to others. Whether definitely planning for this type of work as a voca-tion, or trying to decide on this matter, the student participat-ing in this program is given a graphic picture of mission work, and is helped in determining God's place for him in this world-wide work of the Church. He is enabled, of course, to pray more intelligently for the particu-lar missionaries with vastly diverse experiences from his own, and the student is usually given excellent experience in personal adjustment, which is so vitally necessary for the effectiveness of the Christian and his message in any area. Perhaps the most important aim of the program is acquainting the campus with what modern mis, sions is accomplishing, and giving other students the benefits of the summer vicariously. The former is especially signi-ficant in the minds of many be-cause of the global ideological struggle which tends to eclipse the importance and even the fact of present evangelistic efforts. Through regular campus publi-cations (student and administra-tive), special publications, coffee hours, and participating in regular meetings on campus, it is hoped joyable breakfast; so I decided to finish typing my term paper before class. I went back to the shower and started on page 42. I don't always type in the show-er, but it happened to be the only place clean. I managed to finish all but the bibliography, so I left it in the carriage and hustled off to English 294, Medieval Myths and Monsters (the only course that wasn't full when I registered). Dr. Flabber-gast was in rare form that day . He read twenty minutes of notes from the wrong course before any-one caught it. I was grateful for the hour of sack time, I had them lab staring me in the face. I was already three experiments behind because I had taken last week off to make up a P.E. class which I had missed the week before because I had to study for a make-up exam which I had missed because I got interested in a tennis tournament and forgot floor lab, skipped lunch to have that the student body, faculty, and staff obtain a more precise picture of world missions as well as a feel-ing of greater personal responsi-bility toward it. Off campus these same ends are met by formal and informal speak ing engagements in local churches, schools, service organizations, and other colleges and universities. In this latter area it is expected that the Gospel itself is often present-ed to many who are not in direct contact with it. Both off and on campus, the individual student can do even more to accomplish these pur-poses by personal contact with other students. Through these various methods, the program attempts to unite the entire student body in one evan-gelical effort.

The first three went by like a breeze (especially considering the fact that I had forgotten my lab manual). However, on the fourth, disaster struck. I had leaned out the window to get some fresh air and to talk to my suitemate, who was running on the nearby dorm roof. When I turned around, I ran right into a flask of sulfuric some-thing; and the sodium whatever-it- was that I held mixed with it; and before I knew it, the tile floor was bubbling; the white smoke was everywhere; the lab assistant was screaming not to move; and I was racing for the dorm. Back in the room, there was a note from my roomate, "Apollo," saying that he was at the lake, water skiing with the girl I had been dating lately. In the mail was an overdrawn slip from my bank (I had forgotten to write down the check I wrote for tuition). and a memo from my draft board saying that my grades for the first semester were not good enough to exempt me and that I was 1-A again. Well, how could a guy rest with all that on his mind. So, I decided to finish my biblio-graphy. I should have noticed the wet towel in the corner, but I didn't, so it was quite a shock when I pulled back the shower curtain and saw my term paper. It wasn't wet actually. They had dried it in the clothes dryer in the basement, so it actually looked more like the Magna Carta. Well, I couldn't do it over because I had gotten an extension already. So, I retyped the bibliography, soaked it in the basin, and took it down to the dryer to age while I ate dinner. Ordinarily, I can take the food in the dorm. But there is one thing that I hate — PLASTIC POTA-TOES! You know, the kind that come in a box and you add water or peach juice, or whatever is left from lunch. Well, I started laugh-ing. And I couldn't stop. On top of everything else, that was it! So, when they finally decided that I needed some help, they started carrying me back to my room. Then I started screaming for someone to get my term paper out of the clothes dryer. That's when they brought me here. It's not bad. There are five mattresses here — one on the floor and four on the walls. I'm really fine now. They are going to let me out this afternoon. They have to. I've been drafted.

Cross Country Champoniships were held at Como Park. The Royal harriers participated in the men's champ? ionship event, and also five mem-bers of Bethel's fragile sex ran in the women's competition. The men's competition was 10,- 000 meters in length and was run over the many hills which make up the Como Park golf course, To make matters worse, the course was completely covered with snow and the temperature was a mere . 10 degrees above zero. Bethel competed as a team a-gainst St. Cloud and White Bear Lake. Also, there were two indi-vidual runnners from River Falls and the University of Minnesota, one from Bemidji State and Wino-na, and one unattached runner who participated. As a team, the Royals came in third as they scor-ed 51 points in comparison to St . Cloud's 19 and White Bear Lake's 50. Finishing first in the competi-tion was St. Cloud's Van Nelson.

His time was almost three minutes better than the second place finisher. In fact, one of Bethel's runners told me that when Nelson finished. he still had 1.25 miles left to run and 12 other participants in the race were farther behind than he was. Eight of those twelve didn't finish. The best finish for Bethel was fourteenth by Steve Johnson with a time of 43:44. Steve led the race for the first 100 yards, only to be overtaken by Nelson, who pro-ceeded to lead the race from that point on. Four other Bethel runners fin-ished the race.

The meet will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, and will be the Royals' last meet for the 1966 season. Switching to the Women's AAU Championship, we find that a four-teen yar old Minnetonka Junior High School girl won first place honors. Young Jill Lindquist won the one-mile event with a time of 8:07.8. The first girl to finish for Beth-el was Cindy Karlsson. She took fourth place with a time of 8:42. The other four Royal lasses took sixth, seventh, eight and ninth places respectively. Ruth Ness covered the mile in 9:30, Marcia Rieth in 9:45, Mari-lyn Edgar in 9:46, and Sandy Spur-geon in 9:47. Congratulations to these for the fine efforts they put out under such horrid weather conditions to honor our school. In addition to the AAU Cross Country Championships, the men's intramural meet was held this past Saturday. A disappointing number of six participated in the event. The meet was won by the old wing of Edgren's third floor. They were the only men who fielded a team. Norm Kern of First New won first place honors in covering the 2.1 mile distance in 16:21. Wally Borner of Third New and Gaylord Anderson of Third Old tied for second just one second behind Norm at 16:22. John Cowan took third with a time of 17:18, Woody Dahlberg took fourth at 17:22 and Mike Damberg finished fifth with a time of 17:45. All three of these partici-pants represented Third Old.

The Seminary beat Phelps 1-0 in overtime, on a snow-covered field to win the intramural foot-ball championship. Both teams were unable to pen-etrate within the other's 20 yard line during the regular game, but a 6 yard pass from Duane Johnson to Bruce Ericson gave the Semin-ary enough yardage to win the game. The long kicks of Phelps punt-er, Paul Bunger, and the Phelps defense contained the Seminary within its own territory for the entire first half. Phelps, how-ever, could not move against the Seminary either. In the second half, both teams had good chances to score, but their own mistakes cost them vic-tory. Phelps end, Craig Anderson, caught a pass on the Phelps 25, and raced down the sideline to near the Seminary end zone, but an offside penalty nullified the play. Near the end of the game Dennis Port intercepted a pass for the Seminary on the Phelps 35. A few plays later Gary Pang-burn picked off a Duane John-son pass, and carried the ball back into Seminary territory. But Duane Johnson caught one of Pangburn's passes, and after a few plays, time ran out. Phelps won the toss for the overtime period, and elected to let the Seminary run their series first. Lynn Bergfalk caught John-son behind the line for a ten yard loss on first down. On the next play, Dave Kastelien brought the ball back to the la yard line. Then Ericson made his catch on the 24. The last Seminary pass was knocked down by Pang-burn. Phelps' first three passes were incomplete, and Mark Coleman in-tercepted on the last play to guarantee the Seminary victory.

Sension coached former cage star Jerry Moulton at Howard Lake. So much for the coaching — now for the schedule. The sea-son promises to provide the Royals with their best competi-tion since the days of "Wally Pete." Four 1965-66 conference champions are included on the slate. Included are Stout State (Wis-consin State University Athletic Conference), St. Thomas (MIAC), Carleton (Midwest Conference), and the University of Windsor (0- QAA or Ontario Quebec Athletic Association). In addition, the likes of UMM, Bemidji, and River Falls are no patsies. Royal fans might well re-member the two thrillers with U-MM last year — and the Cougars are strong again. Bemidji finished second only to a very tough St. Cloud outfit in the NIC (Northern Intercol-legiate Conference). And River Falls? The Wisconsin boys hold a current 8 game streak over the Royals and 11 of the last 12 contests. Hamline, Westmar, Manitoba, and Dordt of Iowa, Carleton, and the U of Windsor are all on the Blue and Gold schedule for the first time. Another first will be the "February Fly-In" to Bemidji on February 9. Sports publicist Malcom Avey expects to have 32 students (in addition to the team) signed up for a charter flight to Bemidji. The cost will be $16 apiece. Now for the material — Co-captain Dave Bjorklund and sophomore middle guard Ron "Huey" Pederson will lead the 66-67 charge. 6' 1" Bjorklund, steady rebounder and scorer for four years, is currently teaming with ballhawk Edgar Peterman at guard. Pederson, the 6' 6" defensive middle guard on the gridiron, performs admirably at either cen-ter or forward on the hardwood. 6' 5" senior center Tom Hagen and 6' 2" Dick Robertson current-ly round out the first unit. Counted on for considerable ac-tion are sophomore guard John Bjorklund, junior David Living-ston, senior guards Cabot Dow and Ray Peterson, and 6' 4" Dave Moulton. Freshman Tim Weko, a 6' 6" Gibralter, Wisconsin product, has shown fine potential. Larry Johnson, a 6' 6" junior transfer and 6' 1" Bruce Nelson are other hopefuls. So there you have it — new coaches, tough schedule, "Febru-ary Fly-In", and promising poten, tial — all the college has to do is support the squad (which is asking quite a bit, nicht wahr?).

Another step towards the appeasement of the Royal sports fan is in the making on the Bethel sports scene. No longer will he be forced to languish before the paper or TV for "second hand" thrills once the violent Bethel grid season is packed away in mothballs; this winter first-hand thrills of perhaps even greater magnitude than that of the climatic football season will be provided by a "fledgling" hockey team. According to official Bethel sports publicist Malcolm J. Avey, the team was founded last winter when a few hardy Canadians and local Minnesotans started a hockey team to add excitement to the annual Sno-Daze festivities. A thrilling win over St. Olaf aroused school support and a second game was scheduled with River Falls. Again the pucksters responded with a victory, giving them an un-blemished record in their initial season. This year enthusiasm is at an even higher pitch, and the team has expanded in numbers and support. The Student Sent ate has alotted $250.00 to help cover practice expenses, and the team is selling booster buttons to help pay for the $700 worth of equipment they have ordered. Key players in the upcoming campaign include goal ten-der Carl Smith, a graduate from Minnehaha Academy, where he lettered in the same position. Don Bester, a senior from Canada, will play forward. Don's shoulder was injured in last year's River Fall's battle, and he has been waiting for; another crack at the Falcons. Ken Rutz, a returning defense man from St. Paul Washington, will be a big man in front of the nets. Doug Gordh, a graduate of Ramsey High of St. Paul, will return to his left wing position. Larry Schultz, another Canadian, will play center and supply scoring punch. He insists the extra hairs he has lost will streamline his play on the ice, while others rumor it is a sign of advancing age. Additional freshmen and sophomores make the season outlook a bright one. The first game is with Hamline on December 2, and the icemen need the support of all Bethel sports fans hungering for action and excitement. This season is a crucial one in putting Bethel hockey on the intercollegiate level. Good sup , port from the student body may help influence the ad minis , tration to sponsor the team next year.

Transcript | '4" , . Volume XLI—No. 9 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, November 17, 1966 College ChoirAnticipates Autumn Concert, Touring The Bethel College Choir under, the direction of Dr. Robert Berg-lund will present its fall concert on November 21, at 8:00 p.m. in the fieldhouse. The fall concert effort is a rela-tively new tradition to the college choir which in past years has con-fined itself strictly to the per-formance of sacred music. The fall concert is primed for a wide range of musical taste. Pops music will be highlighted by Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". Romantic selections will include Brahm's "Gipsy Songs", and "Sure On This Shining Night" by Agee. "Polovetsian Dance and Chorus" from the opera "Prince Igor" cre-ated by Russian nationalist com-poser Alexander Borodin will also be performed in addition to selec-tions of a religious nature — Mas-cagne's "Lord, Now Victorious" for two choirs, and several Ren-naissance numbers. The Fall Concert tradition is an effort by the college choir to dem-onstrate its competence as a Chris-tian choir in the wide-ranging world of secular and religious mu-sic. Dr. Berglund states that the concert is not intended to pro-vide a spiritual experience only, but also to provide an oppor-tunity for students to participate in an aesthetic experience. The college choir has been en-gaged in a regrouping of forces as many voices are new to the organization. Dr. Berglund is hope, ful that this year's choir will deg velop its own sound and have its own distinct personality from choirs in past years. Next Spring the choir will make a tour to California. In the future, the choir is planning a trip to Europe as the Male Chorus did last year.

The ASIS can place students in temporary summer work in Great Britain, France, Germany, Switzer-land, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Finland Norway, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, Austria, Israel and Liech-tenstein. ASIS has many new job open-ings within categories that in-clude resort hotel work, office work, factory work, hospital work, child care work, ship work, construction work, farm work, sales work, and camp counseling work. Wages range to $400 a month for the highest paying positions in West Germany and the working conditions and hours are exactly the same as those of the Europeans with whom the students work. In most cases room and board are provided free but if not, the stu dent worker lives independently in the city where he is working. In any case living accomodations are prearranged. Every student placed in a sum-mer job in Europe attends a 5-day orientation period in the Grand, Duchy of Luxembourg that in-cludes cultural orientation tours to Germany, France, Belgium, Hol- St. Mary's College of Winona, Minnesota has scheduled for Dec-ember 2, 3, and 4 a seminar con-cerned with "The American Col-lege Student and Unbelief." Fea-tured as a panelist and as a speak - er will be Donal Thorman, publish-er of the National Catholic Report-er, acclaimed to be the emerging voice of American liberal catholi-cism. The seminar is sponsored by the land and Luxembourg, blackboard sessions, on the scene language, practice, and lectures given by Eu-ropean university professors. Although there is usually no foreign language requirement for the jobs, students are given the opportunity to experience native European situations dur-ing, the orientation period. Blackboard sessions and talks cover such subjects as how to save money while in Europe, low cost transportation, shopping discounts and inexpensive living accomodations. ASIS claims that this do-it-your-self, on the scene method of prep-aration is the only way to adjust rapidly to the European way of life. The ASIS, in its tenth year oii operation, also supplies job ap , plicants, at no extra cost, with a complete set of language records of the language of the country in which the applicant will be work-ing, a student pass allowing the bearer student discounts through-out Europe, complete health and! accident insurance while in Eu-rope, and a comprehensive infor-mation service about living and traveling in Europe. The ASIS also offers travel ar-rangements that greatly reduce the cost of the summer in Eu-rope. Student applicants are also free to make their own travel arrangements to and from Eu- National Federation of Catholic College Students. Questions which the seminar wishes to consider are: What is your belief in God? Is your faith in God really rele-vant to your life? The news re, lease states that the only necessary preparation for the seminar is a serious self appraisal. Cost of the seminar is $1.50 per student. Those wishing to attend should contact P.O. Box 93. ation Affords Opportunity rope. ASIS expects that a great many students participating in the alai ter flishts sponsored Liy their school will want a summer job in Europe. The purpose of the ASIS job-in- Europe program is to provide ev-ery college student with the op-portunity to see Europe, to in-crease his cultural knowledge through travel and at the same time to earn and save money. Students with limited budgets would not otherwise be able to see Europe. The student worker also has a golden opportunity to acquire a speaking knowledge of a foreign language.

The documentary, titled "A Time For Burning," portrays the tensions which erupted in Oma-ha in recent years when a Lu-theran minister attemped to ar-range interracial visits among Lutheran parishioners. Tuesday, November 8, marked the kickoff day for this year's Pre- Seminary Student's Association, commonly known as the Pre-Sem Club. Elected to club offices were: Calvin Swanson, President, Dave Holland, vice President, Craig Car-mean, Sec.-Treas. Also a part of the cabinet will be Pastor Al Glenn who was not elected to his post. Future meetings of the club will be held on the second Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in the Seminary Hall Chapel. Some flex-, ibility of schedule will be reserved to accomodate guest speakers. A release by President Calvin Swanson states the purposes of the organization under the following points: 1) to acquaint students with aspects of the Christian ministry. 2) to orientate students with the functions and structure of the sem-inary, 3) to give practical training for immediate Christian service. 4) to foster a spiritual tone of lifq, on campus. President Swanson feels that the Pre-Sem Club is an excellent op-portunity to consider a profession in the clergy. "One's experience in Pre-Sem club may not give one new possibilities for archeologi-cal investigation. You may help in this important work, earn credits, make interna-, tional friends and receive valuable training in archeology, by joining7 a program sponsored by the Asso-ciation for Cultural Exchange, thq British non-profit organization. Volunteers first join a three week seminar for training in Brio tish archeology and excavation techniques at Wesminster College, Oxford. They then split up into small groups for three or more weeks "digging" on an archeologi-cal site. Total cost of the program is 685 dollars, including round-trip air transportation from New York. Part scholarships are a-vailable to suitable students with a "B" plus average. Write now for further details to United States Representative: As-sociation for Cultural Exchange, 539 West 112th Street, New York 10025. Closing application date is expected to be the beginning of January 1967. THE answer, but one will certain-ly have a wider view of the areas of possible service," stated Presi-dent Swanson. Questions to be considered by the Pre-Sem Club include: What is a call to the ministry?, How -does one know it?, What are good academic majors for pre-seminary students?, What about the Draft?, Which seminaries might one con-sider?, What is the scope of ser-vice for a Seminary student? Senate Initiates Escort Service This week begins the operation at Bethel of a special escort ser-vice, under the sponsorship of Stu-dent Senate, to provide transporta tion back to campus or off-campus homes for girls who work outside the general campus area at night. The project was conceived as a Bethel service when girls involved brought to Senate attention the very real need for rides to be available late in the evening. First introduced to the Senate in October, and after passage put under the direction of Dave C. Anderson, the service was put into effect following a brief presenta-tion in chapel Tuesday morning. Papers on which one could in-dicate either need for a ride or availability of a car were distri-buted through the post office box-es the day of the presentation. After the initial matching, all arrangements will be strictly be-tween the two parties concerned, a payment of ten cents per mile being paid directly to the driver. Although Bethel has not tried this plan before, it has been used quite successfully elsewhere, par-ticularly at Trinity College in Chi. cago.

More than three centuries ago, the Pilgrims, after a year of hardship and peril, humbly and reverently set aside a spe-cial day upon which to give thanks to God for their preserva-tion and for the good harvest from the virgin soil upon which they had labored. Grave and unknown dangers remained. Yet by their faith and by their toil they had survived the rigors of the rash New England winter. Hence they paused in their labors to give thanks for the blessings that had been, beStowed upon them by Divine Providence. This year, as the harvest draws near its close and the year approaches its end, awesome perils again remain to be faced. Yet we have, as in the past, ample reason to be thank-ful for the abundance of our blessings. We are grateful for the blessings of faith and health and strength and for the imperishable spiritual gifts of love and hope. We give thanks, too, for our freedom as a nation; for the strength of our arms and the faith of our friends, for the beliefs and confidence we share; for our determination to stand firmly for what we believe to be right and to resist mightily what we believe to be base; and for the heritage of liberty bequeathed by our ancestors which we are privi-leged to preserve for our children and our children's children, I urge all citizens to make this Thanksgiving not merely a holiday from their labors, but rather a day of contempla, tion. I ask the head of each family to recount to his children the story of the first New England Thanksgiving, thus to impress upon future generations the heritage of this nation born in toil, in danger, in purpose, and in the conviction that right and justice and freedom can through man's efforts per severe and come to fruition with the blessing of God. Let us observe this day with reverence and with prayer that will rekindle in us the will and show us the way not only to preserve our blessings, but to extend them to the four corners of the earth. Let us by our example, as well as by our material aid, assist all peoples of all nations who are striving to achieve a better life in freedom. John F. Kennedy 411111. AM, Weeodutatt4 Eleept9a-- Senate President Keim Summarizes NSA Structure, Political Implications by Jim Keim This is supposed to be an "objective" article about the National Student Association (NSA) — quite a large task. The NSA has gotten its fingers into almost everybody's pie so that probably the best approach is to begin with the organizational divisions and then discuss the general political tenor of its declarations. The legislative and policy making body of NSA is the National Student Congress. It meets annually during summer vacation and is comprised of dele-gates selected by either the student government or the entire student body of member schools. There are also a Congress Steering Committee, the Supervisory Board, and the National Officers and advisors. Among the last category are Arthur S. Flemming, Rev. T. M. Kesburgh, C.S.C. (pres-ident of Notre Dame), and Ursell Kirk (of NATION-AL REVIEW). The continuing year-round services for students include the Student Government Information Service (a lending library of original material on the programs of other colleges), the Educational Travel Bureau (low cost tour and travel arrangements for students who want to work, study, or travel abroad), an in-surance program, and a direct discount service (both at home and abroad. Besides these the Publications Department puts out numerous books on student government and rights, international affairs, higher education, and community involvement. The administrative budget runs about $225,000 of which $18,000 comes from membership dues and $180,000 from contributions and grants from such organizations as the Ford Foundation, AFL-CIO, National Institute of Mental Health, and the Depart-ments of State and Health, Education and Welfare. Now this is pretty innocent. It doesn't account at all for the furvor over NSA. What is it that has caused the sensation? There are two factors. One, the National Student Congress passes resolutions concerning everything from student rights and academic affairs to foreign policy. The national office is then empowered to promote the policy both in lobbying and in educa-tional material to member student leaders. It is the content of these resolutions which has caused so much discussion of Bethel's place in the NSA. The past summer the most controversial motions concerned the draft, Viet Nam, Black Power, and marijuana. The last of these has caused the interest at Bethel. From all reports, the resolution concluded that "marijuana is no more dangerous to health than beer and other alcoholic beverages. Laws pro-hibiting the sale of marijuana to non-minors should be repealed."

Gaining 45 seats in the House, three seats in the Senate and six new governorships, the Republican Party has — well, frankly — it's Nixon in '68. Science: Gemini 12, next to the last in a series of pre-moon flights, ap-pears, despite minor difficulties, to be another successful step in our reaching the moon. At five miles per second, pilot Edin E. (Buzz) Aldrin stood' in his open cockpit for two hours and twenty minutes taking snapshots of the "heavenly bodies" while his flight partner, James A. Lov-e!, manned the controls. Perhaps in '68 or '69 the United States will have a man on the moon. Twenty years ago this was unthinkable but, yes, now it is, about to be realized — due to our administration's "Iunartic," space program. Sports?: It's that time of year again: Inter-institutional warriors have pounded their peers, for months, in fierce combat — all in prepara-tion for the coming big ones. Which will it be: Rose Bowl? Or-ange Bowl? Cotton Bowl? Rice Bowl? What Bowl? — Rice Bowl. Yes, this year there has been a new bowl game added: the U.S. Doves vs. the V.C. Hawks. Al-ready the men are under intense training and, as usual, pre-game pranks have been the vogue. The purpose of the big game is to celebrate the coming of harvest, and the prize is 2.6 million tons of rice. A crowd of 50,000 is expected at the Mekong Delta Stadium. by Leonard Sammons There is no doubt in most of our minds that the Bethel College Student Center is a dead place. The bookstore is properly isolated and cast a forboding air around, it; the Coffee Shop consists of white walls, tables, chairs, benches, and little else; and the lounge has chairs, benches, and tables in constant disarray in what must prove to the visitors who walk through the misplaced entrance to be an apalling sight. Yet the situation has remained status quo and no one has seemed to care. Though a Presidential Can-didate included Coffee Shop re-form in his platform, he was de-feated and nothing more has been done. Then last week an inspired Senate established a committee to look into the Coffee Shop and it the Senate on what could be done. The committee of Linda Olson, Priscilla Anderson, and Bill Led-kins met with Mr. Eugene John-son and came up with some good ideas in a week's time—a giant task for which they are to be complimented. Their report included as sugges-tions removing the ugly parti-tion separating the Coffee Shop from the lounge, painting the walls, having art exhibits, revising the floor plan, and revising the lighting. Miss Olson, mentioning that the coffee shop lacks personality sug-gested having a "folksy-type pro-prietor" behind the counter. Mon-ey to finance these things would come from the Senate, the admin-istration, and special events. Later in new business a motion by Miss Olson to establish a committee to study special Saturday night events in the coffee shop was approved. Also this week the Senate dis-cussed this column. Dick Schultz and Jim Keim implied that false. hood has appeared in this col-umn. However, neither of them mentioned any examples. It should be added that they were not asked to but even if they had they would not have been able to give any because this observer has written no false-hood in this column, excepting possibly when the Senate as a whole has been misinformed, and he deeply resents this smear campaign. A report from the treasurer, Miss Teri Mounce, showed that Homecoming made a profit of more than $1000. This money, then, is unbudgeted surplus. Therefore, our Senate saw fit to give $700 to the hockey team, whom this observer feels will be able to put it to good use. The last attempt of the noble cause to get Bethel out of the . National Students Association fail-ed. Because for the first time since March 15, 1966, the roll-call vote was resorted to, an accurate ac-count can be made of who was on which side. Those who stood up in these trying moments when the motion to leave was defeated 12-4 were John Sailhamer, Ken Lewis, Bill Ledkins, and Dave Anderson. May the NSA issue be left dead now until next year. From this some have 'concluded that the name of Bethel is being dirtied. Others fail to be bothered by our association. The problem of our member-ship in such an organization will come home in a different form very shortly. Resolutions passed by the National Student Con-gress are to be sent to member schools for approval or disap-prova I. So the question appears again, writ large: "Does the Senate or Student Body wish to identify it-self with any political position?" That, I think is the old and new question of NSA.

Letters to the Editor: Letters See Courtesy, War, Attitudes To the Editor: I'm not sure why I'm writing this letter — probably to attempt to create more sensitivity on the part of individuals who think the Phy-sical Education Department is only a place to give vent to their frus-trations. If I had a title to this short dissertation it would be "Thoughts While Proctoring a Test for Miss Anderson on Friday, Nov-ember 11, 1966, 8:45 a.m." All was relatively quiet as the students started their mid-semes-ter exam. As they pondered over their questions, the following went on: 1) Suddenly from the adjoining room came the extremely loud throb of the punching bag! Dur-ing a lecture this helps to keep students awake but during at test —NO. 2) The chapel organist at 9:10 pulled out all the stops and must have thought she was in the Min-neapolis Auditorium. The music was great—but not during a mid-semester exam. She did stop the moment I mentioned the test Thanks. 3) The maintenance men (bless their hearts, I love them all) must have been using dynamite and earth-moving equipment to da something in the gym. They are by Art Blessing Last week, in chapel, the 1966 Minnesota Project of the "Faith In Life Dialogue" was presented. The film "Care of the City" was an excellent introduction to this November project known as the "TWIN CITIES TOWN MEETING." One of the curses of urbaniza-tion has been a breakdown in in-ter- personal communication. Feel-ings of anonymity, helplessness, and the "lonely crowd" syndrome plague us. The purpose of the Town Meeting project is to create a climate of interest, concern, and communication or dialogue about the many problems of modern ur-ban living. Many of the ideas of the Town Meeting come from the German Protestant Lay Academies which were formed in Germany im-mediately after World War II. The academies sought to re-eval-uate the place of religion in solving the many complex prob-lems of society. In addition, the project is based on three previous experiments: Brookings, South Dakota, 1963 Fargo-Moorehead, 1964; and the Duluth-Northern Lakes Area, 1965. Cities all across the nation are observing the Twin Cities this month, and many of them are plan-ning similar programs in the near future. The director of the project is Reverend Loren E. Halvorson, a Lutheran minister who spent sev-eral years working closely with one of the German lay academies Although the project is non-sectar-ian, it does seek to encourage people to seek answers to moral and social issues from the pers-pectives of their particular con-victions and/or religious faith. The purpose is not primarily one of social action, but rather one of EDUCATION, both initial and, hopefully, continuing edu-cation of Twin Cities residents. The instruments for performing this task are many: college semi-nars, school assemblies, radio and television programs, neighborhood discussion groups, civic, religious, the greatest guys on campus but they overdid it this morning. 4) The chapel choir apparently, needed practice and of this I am in favor — I appreciate the music department! I suggested to the stu-dent director that he move to the gymnasium to practice. He prompt-ly suggested I move my class. I will give his indignant attitude the benefit of a doubt and hope it was a result of his concern to do well as an aspiring conductor. (He came to me after chapel and apol-ogized — I appreciated his apology and understand the pressure that was on him as he, for the first time, directed chapel choir.) Their indispensible robes were in the classroom where the test was being taken. My hard heart mellowed and I let the choir in for their robes — SO, as at least 80 feet stomped to the robe closet, and the organist bellowed out "Finlandia," Miss Anderson's stu-dents tried hard to formulate on paper their thoughts on Oberteuf-fer's and Ulrich's philosophy about the American belief in self-direc-tion, self-realization, and self- dis-cipline. (Forgive me for revealing part of a test question — John Carmean was absent.) I guess my plea is really this — when the new campus becomes a and professional organizations, lit-erature, recommended books and motion pictures, and so on. Bethel students are urged to become actively involved in this significant experiment. A faith which is not expressed and applied to the everyday problems of life soon becomes irrelevant and sick-ly. The Faith In Life Dialogue may become a major help in planning church renewal. A schedule of the many radio and TV broadcasts is posted on the Social Sciences Bulletin Board. Several of the TV pro-grams will feature a "feedback" survey in which the viewers may register their viewpoints by punching out a perforated card which will then be mailed in for computation of the results. Area newspapers are also carrying many related articles. Many area churches, including several of our Conference churches, have formed discussion groups. Further information, literature, and a 43 page study guide may be obtained from the nearby Town Meeting office at 2477 Como Ave-nue. The telephone number is 645. 0365. Mrs. Turritin will be the German instructor until Miss Effie Nelson recovers from her illness. Mrs. Turritin will be teaching elementary and intermediate Ger-man. Previous to Bethel she taught for three years at Augsburg lege, and has just finished an-other replacement duty at St. Catherine's College. She has her B.A. from the Uni-versity of Wisconsin and her M.A. from the University of Minnesota. In the meantime, Miss Nelson will be recovering in Midway Hos-reality, I hope it will not include a multipurpose building such as we have now. As I close this letter to the strains of "America the Beautiful" (a favorite song of mine) I realize I am late for chapel so I will promptly make haste from this classroom to our worship service. Forgive me if I sound like a rebel — I'm not! As Walter Cron-kite would say, "This is the way it was on November 11, 1966." Sincerely, Miss Starr To the Editor, As I walked out of chapel thiq morning, (Tuesday, November 8) I felt very uneasy. I agreed with both speakers concerning their hate for the evil of war. But I thought of the Christian boys over in the Viet Nam who, according to many, should breathe a prayer of confession as they pull the trigger; What kind of Christian willfully sins over and over and dares ask God again and again for forgive-ness? Perhaps a 11 Christians should become pacifists? I person-ally don't know. Is killing in such a war sin? What is our Christian duty to our country? What about the Canaan-ite destruction of long ago? Does the new covenant of grace nullify divine sanction of any war? If we as a nation were to pull out of Viet Nam, would the results be more evil than the war conditions right now? Obviously, I'm confused. But I feel Christianity, somewhere, holds the answer. Today, Viet Nam, on Christian grounds, was condemned. But we still have a war. Christians are still pulling triggers, and vot-ing levers for candidates who sup-port the war. What would Christ have us to do? Perhaps another chapel on this subject is in order. Susan Gliberg To the Editor, Like all transfer students, I have been critically appraising Bethel since my arrival in September. And frankly, I like most of what I see and hear. However, I have noticed that the disease common to higher educa-tion has reached epidemic propor-tions on our campus. It is usually called pseudosophistication. The main symptom is the failure on the part of the students to re-spond or react outwardly to any-thing, whether it be intellectual, spiritual, even recreational. I assume the cause is fear of negative opinion from one's peers. I prescribe a large dose of courage and honesty for all Bethelites, my-self included. A disappointed transfer student pital.

Leibman Member of the Illinois Bar and Cairman of Standing Committee on Education against Communism of the American Bar Association There is a standard against which we should regularly test basic issues of foreign policy. That standard is the historical and continuous struggle of human beings for freedom and dignity. This must be our basis in confronting Breshnev and Kosygin. We are right because the history of man proves it. Domestic issues must also be measured against man's historic struggle for liberty. For the history of the advance of world Communism overwhelmingly provides the evidence that they will seize upon any situation approximating dissent for propaganda purposes. In seeking to improve tomorrow, it is our duty to remember where we have been and reflect on where we are. Our goals are set forth in the Declaration and buttressed by a Constitution, a sys-tem of checks and balances which permits the continuation of western civilization's spirited dialogue. This unhampered dialogue makes possible the opportunity to continuously approximate our moral and spiritual goals. For we live in that instant of time when it can be said that never before have 190 million people enjoyed so much material benefits however imperfect their distribution. The multiplication of consumer wealth, however, is subordinate to our greatest accomplishment — the► fashioning of the law society. There is an obligation to that law society. No society, free or tyrannical, can give its citizens the "right" to break the law. There can be no law to which obedience is optional; no command to which the States attach an "if you please." But what has happened to us? Why is it necessary at this time to repeat what should be axiomatic and accepted? What is the re-sponsibility of a citizen? Unequivocally the continuing social task for the morally sensitive citizen is to impart reality to the yet un-achieved ideal of full and equal participation by all and in all our values and opportunities. There are no easy solutions for man's in-humanity to man. There is nothing new in violence. Throughout mankind's history it has been too often a way of life. Whole continents have been involved in riot, rebellion and revolution. A large part of the world lives behind the ugly iron and bamboo curtains of Communism. But this cannot justify terror in the North or in the South. No individual or group at any time, for any reason, has a right to exact self-determined retribution. All too often retaliation injures the innocent at random and provokes counter-retaliation against those equally in+ nocent. Our imperfections do not license tearing down the structures which have given us our progress. The only solution is the free and open law society. In this frame of reference let us identify certain current forces whose aim is to destroy the law society. The inexorable requirement of Communism to exploit every dif, ference betwen men should now be clearly understood. Yet we seem to be surprised, confused, even bitter about Communist intervention in our civil rights problems. What could be a more natural target for Communist usage? Ethnological warfare is a widely exploited revolutionary tactic. To the Communist all means are justified by the end — a basic con-cept we of the law society reject. These Communists have many imitators. Those who reject our legal methods and choose terror, force, violence, hate and bigotry only play into the hands of the international Communist conspiracy. The jungle lawlessness of the frontier demonstrated to the pioneers that only the installation of American juridical proceedings would enable them to weld together the disparate territories into one na-tion. I am deeply troubled by certain concepts which have sought ac-ceptability: "Freedom Now" and "Righteous Civil Disobedience". "Freedom Now" is an illusion. The desire for self-expression can be satisfied only in an atmosphere of freedom, and freedom is not absolute. It exists only within the confines of the necessary restraining measures of society. The cry for immediacy is the cry for impossibility. What is possible is to continue to patiently build the structures that permit the development of beter jusice. What about the concept of "righteous civil disobedience?" It seems to me that there is an inherent contradiction in the con-cept of premeditated, "righteous", civil disobedience. Such a concept is wholly incompatible with the concept of the American legal system. This is particularly axiomatic in a society such as ours where the law is not static and where, if it is claimed to be oppressive or coercive, many effective channels for change are constantly available. Our legislatures have regularly met the changing times and changing needs of the society with consideration for the unalienable rights of all. Our law has not only been a guardian of freedom, but the affirmative agent for freedom. A grave danger is presented where the idea of civil disobedience may evoke sympathy in a cause which seems just. For once we accept such a doubtful doctrine, we legitimatize it for other causes which should be rejected. We would set a standard of conduct which then must become acceptable for all. Thus we sub-stitute pressure for persuasion and squander the carefully nurtured value of self-restraint and jeopardize the system of law. Our grievances must be settled in the courts and not in the streets. Muscle is no substitute for morality. We must insist that men use their minds — not their biceps.

What Plagues College Men?-the Draft Page 4 the CLARION Thursday, November 17, 1966 by Roberta Parks If you have been hearing a lot of loud groans lately, if you've been seeing a lot of sick looks on otherwise healthy faces, there's a good reason: the Bethel class of 1970 are either presently taking, or have just taken, their first col• lege mid-terms. The mention of the very word `mid-term' can strike terror into the heart of the innocent, unsus-pecting, and unprepared. Immediately thoughts of that little extra studying that could have been done creep disturb-ingly into the mind and it is with by no means a mild dread of the unknown that many Beth-el freshmen faced their first "cram" sessions. After some tests had been tak-en, reactions varied from feeling that they were "Kind of fun" to loud groans and that limp, empty, tired feeling. The majority of the students were simply glad to have them over and done with. Many felt that they were good preparation for semester finals and a good chance to discover what, percent of the facts you were sup-posed to have assimilated you ac-tually had. Some specific and in-dividual reactions were: "Uhg," WASHINGTON (CPS) — There seems to be no direct relationship between high grades in college and professional success in later life, two recent studies indicate. Dr. Eli Ginzberg, a New York researcher, studied a group of Columbia University graduate stu-dents who had won fellowships to the school between 1944 and 1950. Ginzberg's task was to find out how successful the 342 students had become 14 years after they completed their fellowships. The findings showed students who had graduated from college with honors, who had won schol-astic medals or who had been elected to Phi Beta Kappa were more likely to be in the "lower professional performance levels" than students who had not dis-tinguished themselves while in college. In another survey, a team of University of Utah professors found there is almost no relation-ship between the grades a medical student gets and his later per-formance. This finding startled the leader of the research team, Dr. Phillip B. Price. He called it a "shocking finding to a medical educator like myself who has spent his pro-fessional life selecting applicants for admission to medical school." He added that the study caus-ed him to question the adequacy of grades not only in selecting those who should be admitted to medical school but also in measuring a student's progress. There are numerous theories at-tempting to explain these surpris-ing findings. The most common one affirms that the over-emphasis on grades which begins when a student is in junior high schooll and continues throughout his aca-demic career tends to destroy in-terest in learning for its own sake. John Holt, an educator and author of "Why Children Fail," observes that current school meth- "Help," "I feel brainwashed," and "What exceptional (!?) tests." Many freshmen were bothered by sections of the tests. A usual complaint was that it was hard to concentrate and do your best when in a room with a hundred and fifty other people. While a majority felt that the tests were fair, a sizable group felt that too many unimportant details were added at the expense of really important concepts. Another frequent complaint was that there was too much pressure because the tests were too close together. Approximately half of the stu-dents interviewed felt that the mid-terms weren't as nightmar-ish as had been expected. About seventy percent felt that they were no harder than a high school test covering the same amount of material and most felt that the teachers had done a good job preparing them for their first college mid-terms. Taken in total, it seems that there exists a feeling that while mid-terms aren't exactly the nicest things in the world, they do serve a purpose and since they are in-escapable, there's no use fighting them. ods destroy love of learning by encouraging students to work for petty rewards — names on honor rolls, gold staffs, for the "ignoble satisfaction of feeling they are bet-ter than someone else." The Student Missionary Project for the summer of 1967 was out-lined in chapel Wednesday, Nov-ember 2. The purposes of the Stu-dent Missionary Service Program can be classed according to the groups of people who benefit from it. These are (1) the missionaries, (2) the participating students, and (3) the returning students' campus and community. One of the major goals of the program is to help the missionary accomplish more of his main pur-pose during the summer—whether this is in the form of medical work, Bible translating, or direct evangelization. The student frequently can take an active part in the mission-ary's activities. More often, how-ever, the student is able to help by doing many of the time con-suming tasks necessary for living which keep the missionary from his primary job. It is also hoped that the student will prove helpful in a way not nearly as evident: in providing youth, new ideas, and opportunity for exchange and sharing of con-temporary thoughts. Lastly, the missionaries will have the chance of expressing their own concern to someone who, after be-ing personally involved in the work for several weeks, will be returning to the States, where this by Don Looser It wasn't exactly a psychiatric ward; it was just a college infirm, ary room with no windows and a 6'4" male nurse. It had all started innocently enough with a gorgeous fall morning — the kind that makes you wish you were any-where but where you are. It was so wonderful that I decided to get up for breakfast for the first time that semester. As I padded down the hall in my Bermuda shorts and Indian mocca-sins (a gift of my Indian-in-law uncle), I had the great misfortune to encounter our dorm director. I don't know what yours looks like, but ours resembled a runner-up for the Abominable Snowman A-ward. He said that the folks had written him wanting to know why I had not written since first sem-ester. (Actually, I had written them the night before — asking for money.) So I promised to write, but this shot all prospects of an en-same information can be passed on to others. Whether definitely planning for this type of work as a voca-tion, or trying to decide on this matter, the student participat-ing in this program is given a graphic picture of mission work, and is helped in determining God's place for him in this world-wide work of the Church. He is enabled, of course, to pray more intelligently for the particu-lar missionaries with vastly diverse experiences from his own, and the student is usually given excellent experience in personal adjustment, which is so vitally necessary for the effectiveness of the Christian and his message in any area. Perhaps the most important aim of the program is acquainting the campus with what modern mis, sions is accomplishing, and giving other students the benefits of the summer vicariously. The former is especially signi-ficant in the minds of many be-cause of the global ideological struggle which tends to eclipse the importance and even the fact of present evangelistic efforts. Through regular campus publi-cations (student and administra-tive), special publications, coffee hours, and participating in regular meetings on campus, it is hoped joyable breakfast; so I decided to finish typing my term paper before class. I went back to the shower and started on page 42. I don't always type in the show-er, but it happened to be the only place clean. I managed to finish all but the bibliography, so I left it in the carriage and hustled off to English 294, Medieval Myths and Monsters (the only course that wasn't full when I registered). Dr. Flabber-gast was in rare form that day . He read twenty minutes of notes from the wrong course before any-one caught it. I was grateful for the hour of sack time, I had them lab staring me in the face. I was already three experiments behind because I had taken last week off to make up a P.E. class which I had missed the week before because I had to study for a make-up exam which I had missed because I got interested in a tennis tournament and forgot floor lab, skipped lunch to have that the student body, faculty, and staff obtain a more precise picture of world missions as well as a feel-ing of greater personal responsi-bility toward it. Off campus these same ends are met by formal and informal speak ing engagements in local churches, schools, service organizations, and other colleges and universities. In this latter area it is expected that the Gospel itself is often present-ed to many who are not in direct contact with it. Both off and on campus, the individual student can do even more to accomplish these pur-poses by personal contact with other students. Through these various methods, the program attempts to unite the entire student body in one evan-gelical effort.

The first three went by like a breeze (especially considering the fact that I had forgotten my lab manual). However, on the fourth, disaster struck. I had leaned out the window to get some fresh air and to talk to my suitemate, who was running on the nearby dorm roof. When I turned around, I ran right into a flask of sulfuric some-thing; and the sodium whatever-it- was that I held mixed with it; and before I knew it, the tile floor was bubbling; the white smoke was everywhere; the lab assistant was screaming not to move; and I was racing for the dorm. Back in the room, there was a note from my roomate, "Apollo," saying that he was at the lake, water skiing with the girl I had been dating lately. In the mail was an overdrawn slip from my bank (I had forgotten to write down the check I wrote for tuition). and a memo from my draft board saying that my grades for the first semester were not good enough to exempt me and that I was 1-A again. Well, how could a guy rest with all that on his mind. So, I decided to finish my biblio-graphy. I should have noticed the wet towel in the corner, but I didn't, so it was quite a shock when I pulled back the shower curtain and saw my term paper. It wasn't wet actually. They had dried it in the clothes dryer in the basement, so it actually looked more like the Magna Carta. Well, I couldn't do it over because I had gotten an extension already. So, I retyped the bibliography, soaked it in the basin, and took it down to the dryer to age while I ate dinner. Ordinarily, I can take the food in the dorm. But there is one thing that I hate — PLASTIC POTA-TOES! You know, the kind that come in a box and you add water or peach juice, or whatever is left from lunch. Well, I started laugh-ing. And I couldn't stop. On top of everything else, that was it! So, when they finally decided that I needed some help, they started carrying me back to my room. Then I started screaming for someone to get my term paper out of the clothes dryer. That's when they brought me here. It's not bad. There are five mattresses here — one on the floor and four on the walls. I'm really fine now. They are going to let me out this afternoon. They have to. I've been drafted.

Cross Country Champoniships were held at Como Park. The Royal harriers participated in the men's champ? ionship event, and also five mem-bers of Bethel's fragile sex ran in the women's competition. The men's competition was 10,- 000 meters in length and was run over the many hills which make up the Como Park golf course, To make matters worse, the course was completely covered with snow and the temperature was a mere . 10 degrees above zero. Bethel competed as a team a-gainst St. Cloud and White Bear Lake. Also, there were two indi-vidual runnners from River Falls and the University of Minnesota, one from Bemidji State and Wino-na, and one unattached runner who participated. As a team, the Royals came in third as they scor-ed 51 points in comparison to St . Cloud's 19 and White Bear Lake's 50. Finishing first in the competi-tion was St. Cloud's Van Nelson.

His time was almost three minutes better than the second place finisher. In fact, one of Bethel's runners told me that when Nelson finished. he still had 1.25 miles left to run and 12 other participants in the race were farther behind than he was. Eight of those twelve didn't finish. The best finish for Bethel was fourteenth by Steve Johnson with a time of 43:44. Steve led the race for the first 100 yards, only to be overtaken by Nelson, who pro-ceeded to lead the race from that point on. Four other Bethel runners fin-ished the race.

The meet will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, and will be the Royals' last meet for the 1966 season. Switching to the Women's AAU Championship, we find that a four-teen yar old Minnetonka Junior High School girl won first place honors. Young Jill Lindquist won the one-mile event with a time of 8:07.8. The first girl to finish for Beth-el was Cindy Karlsson. She took fourth place with a time of 8:42. The other four Royal lasses took sixth, seventh, eight and ninth places respectively. Ruth Ness covered the mile in 9:30, Marcia Rieth in 9:45, Mari-lyn Edgar in 9:46, and Sandy Spur-geon in 9:47. Congratulations to these for the fine efforts they put out under such horrid weather conditions to honor our school. In addition to the AAU Cross Country Championships, the men's intramural meet was held this past Saturday. A disappointing number of six participated in the event. The meet was won by the old wing of Edgren's third floor. They were the only men who fielded a team. Norm Kern of First New won first place honors in covering the 2.1 mile distance in 16:21. Wally Borner of Third New and Gaylord Anderson of Third Old tied for second just one second behind Norm at 16:22. John Cowan took third with a time of 17:18, Woody Dahlberg took fourth at 17:22 and Mike Damberg finished fifth with a time of 17:45. All three of these partici-pants represented Third Old.

The Seminary beat Phelps 1-0 in overtime, on a snow-covered field to win the intramural foot-ball championship. Both teams were unable to pen-etrate within the other's 20 yard line during the regular game, but a 6 yard pass from Duane Johnson to Bruce Ericson gave the Semin-ary enough yardage to win the game. The long kicks of Phelps punt-er, Paul Bunger, and the Phelps defense contained the Seminary within its own territory for the entire first half. Phelps, how-ever, could not move against the Seminary either. In the second half, both teams had good chances to score, but their own mistakes cost them vic-tory. Phelps end, Craig Anderson, caught a pass on the Phelps 25, and raced down the sideline to near the Seminary end zone, but an offside penalty nullified the play. Near the end of the game Dennis Port intercepted a pass for the Seminary on the Phelps 35. A few plays later Gary Pang-burn picked off a Duane John-son pass, and carried the ball back into Seminary territory. But Duane Johnson caught one of Pangburn's passes, and after a few plays, time ran out. Phelps won the toss for the overtime period, and elected to let the Seminary run their series first. Lynn Bergfalk caught John-son behind the line for a ten yard loss on first down. On the next play, Dave Kastelien brought the ball back to the la yard line. Then Ericson made his catch on the 24. The last Seminary pass was knocked down by Pang-burn. Phelps' first three passes were incomplete, and Mark Coleman in-tercepted on the last play to guarantee the Seminary victory.

Sension coached former cage star Jerry Moulton at Howard Lake. So much for the coaching — now for the schedule. The sea-son promises to provide the Royals with their best competi-tion since the days of "Wally Pete." Four 1965-66 conference champions are included on the slate. Included are Stout State (Wis-consin State University Athletic Conference), St. Thomas (MIAC), Carleton (Midwest Conference), and the University of Windsor (0- QAA or Ontario Quebec Athletic Association). In addition, the likes of UMM, Bemidji, and River Falls are no patsies. Royal fans might well re-member the two thrillers with U-MM last year — and the Cougars are strong again. Bemidji finished second only to a very tough St. Cloud outfit in the NIC (Northern Intercol-legiate Conference). And River Falls? The Wisconsin boys hold a current 8 game streak over the Royals and 11 of the last 12 contests. Hamline, Westmar, Manitoba, and Dordt of Iowa, Carleton, and the U of Windsor are all on the Blue and Gold schedule for the first time. Another first will be the "February Fly-In" to Bemidji on February 9. Sports publicist Malcom Avey expects to have 32 students (in addition to the team) signed up for a charter flight to Bemidji. The cost will be $16 apiece. Now for the material — Co-captain Dave Bjorklund and sophomore middle guard Ron "Huey" Pederson will lead the 66-67 charge. 6' 1" Bjorklund, steady rebounder and scorer for four years, is currently teaming with ballhawk Edgar Peterman at guard. Pederson, the 6' 6" defensive middle guard on the gridiron, performs admirably at either cen-ter or forward on the hardwood. 6' 5" senior center Tom Hagen and 6' 2" Dick Robertson current-ly round out the first unit. Counted on for considerable ac-tion are sophomore guard John Bjorklund, junior David Living-ston, senior guards Cabot Dow and Ray Peterson, and 6' 4" Dave Moulton. Freshman Tim Weko, a 6' 6" Gibralter, Wisconsin product, has shown fine potential. Larry Johnson, a 6' 6" junior transfer and 6' 1" Bruce Nelson are other hopefuls. So there you have it — new coaches, tough schedule, "Febru-ary Fly-In", and promising poten, tial — all the college has to do is support the squad (which is asking quite a bit, nicht wahr?).

Another step towards the appeasement of the Royal sports fan is in the making on the Bethel sports scene. No longer will he be forced to languish before the paper or TV for "second hand" thrills once the violent Bethel grid season is packed away in mothballs; this winter first-hand thrills of perhaps even greater magnitude than that of the climatic football season will be provided by a "fledgling" hockey team. According to official Bethel sports publicist Malcolm J. Avey, the team was founded last winter when a few hardy Canadians and local Minnesotans started a hockey team to add excitement to the annual Sno-Daze festivities. A thrilling win over St. Olaf aroused school support and a second game was scheduled with River Falls. Again the pucksters responded with a victory, giving them an un-blemished record in their initial season. This year enthusiasm is at an even higher pitch, and the team has expanded in numbers and support. The Student Sent ate has alotted $250.00 to help cover practice expenses, and the team is selling booster buttons to help pay for the $700 worth of equipment they have ordered. Key players in the upcoming campaign include goal ten-der Carl Smith, a graduate from Minnehaha Academy, where he lettered in the same position. Don Bester, a senior from Canada, will play forward. Don's shoulder was injured in last year's River Fall's battle, and he has been waiting for; another crack at the Falcons. Ken Rutz, a returning defense man from St. Paul Washington, will be a big man in front of the nets. Doug Gordh, a graduate of Ramsey High of St. Paul, will return to his left wing position. Larry Schultz, another Canadian, will play center and supply scoring punch. He insists the extra hairs he has lost will streamline his play on the ice, while others rumor it is a sign of advancing age. Additional freshmen and sophomores make the season outlook a bright one.
