Dr. Stavrou Speaks On
Religion In Soviet Union
Soviet Union" in convocation Tues-day,
November 23.
Dr. Stavrou, of Greek back-ground,
learned English in British
schools on his native island of
Cyprus. He came to the United
States in 1952, receiving a Master's
Degree in history from Indiana
University in 1957.
Further studies in the Russian
and East European Institute at
the same school led to his doc-toral
dissertation on Russian
dealings in the Balkan area. He
was awarded the doctorate de-gree
in Russian history in 1961.
Especially interested in the his-torical
Russian contacts with the
Balkan Orthodox church, Dr. Stav-rou
has continued research into
these relations since receiving his
doctoral degree. For this reason he
chose to examine the life of Por-firii
Uspenskii, a 19th Century
leader in establishing protectionist
policies of the Russian Czar to-ward
Balkan orthodoxy.
Opportunity for intensive study
of Uspenskii's life was afforded Dr.
Stavrou when he received a re-search
grant through the Cultural
Exchange program for study last
year in the Soviet Union. He spent
the year at the University of Len-ingrad
doing the research from
which he has culled the background
material for a biography on Uspen-skii.
As a committed Christian, Dr.
Stavrou is anxious to obtain an
accurate idea of the position of
religion in the Soviet Union to-day.
While pursuing his studies
he lived in the student complex
at the University of Leningrad
and thus learned about students'
religious attitudes.
He also attended services of many
denominations and talked with pas-tors
and parishioners about mo-dern-
day religious trends.
Dr. Stavrou speaks six foreign
languages including Greek, Rus-sian,
French, Italian, German and
Turkish. He has used this training
in additional overseas study under

The Bethel debate team matched
wits again in Twin Cities Debate
League competition at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota November 9. De-bating
against River Falls, the Uni-versity
of Minnesota and Macales-ter,
one Bethel B Division team
went undefeated.
Jeani Stephens and Kathy Harvie
also were awarded top speaker
points for their division. They com-peted
against 66 other speakers
from Twin Cities schools.
In competition against such
schools as Eau Claire, St. John's,
the University of Minnesota, and
Macalester, the team chalked up
10 wins to 5 losses.
Bethel College was represented
in the A Division by Sharon Lar-son
and Tim Williams (2-1) and Eva
Swanson and Paul Johnson (1-2).
Shirley Arbore, Corinne Leppke,
Joe Beitler, and Bill Jackson alter-nated
speaking on the same team
to win by 2-1.
Ken Collins and Dave Nydegger

Thirteen seniors and five Bethel
juniors are nominees to Who's
Who Among Students in American
Universities and Colleges for the
school year 1965-66.
The election was conducted joint-ly
by the Student Senate and the
Student Service Office. Upperclass-men
voted for the individuals on
leadership ability, good citizenship,
and promise of future effective-ness.
Nominees have at least 3.0 av-erages

activities.
ranging from the greatly profound,
from the pens of composers such
as Bruckner, Brahms, Gallus, to
that light-hearted music from just
the opposite end of the spectrum
embodied in spirituals, sea chan-ties,
and selections from "H.M.S.
Pinafore."
A highlight of the program will
be the presentation of three se-lections
from a series of seven
country songs listed under the
group title, "Frostiana," by the
contemporary composer Randall
Thompson based on poems by
Robert Frost.
Believing it realistic and legi-timate
to schedule a concert on
the basis of strictly aesthetic
pleasure, Dr. Berglund hopes
that the cultural life of the cam-pus
will be stimulated and en-riched
by this addition, and that
it will result in a pleasurable
experience.
Future plans of the choir in-clude
concert presentations by the
choir of works of major dimen-sions,
and by a small ensemble
performing chamber music.
Six of the senior nominees for
65-66 were accepted for recogni-tion

Broader Base Offered
For Missionary Projects
"Go ye therefore into all the world . . . " Think of the
sheer MILEAGE invested in Missions Week 1965 — returned
Conference missionaries, Bethel student missionaries, Peace
Corpsmen, SPAN'ers, individual students and faculty members
who've traveled abroad!
And our handful is only partially representative of the
incredible number of American based student-aid projects to
foreign countries: Junior Year Abroad programs, National
Science Foundation linguistical study, the Fulbright scholar-ships,
to name a few.
The impact of the American college student's idealistic
fascination with lay tasks in the lesser developed world is
revolutionary for missions. "They'll force the missionaries
to re-define and specify their role, to return to the crux of
the Great Commission and PREACH the Gospel," says veteran
Indian missionary Paul Edwards.
Case in point is the dilemma of the Bethel Student Mis-sionary
Project described in Ton Klingberg's report of the
seminarians' visit to Conference Headquarters. Students lacking
"intensive language. and cultural preparation" and whose con-sequent
"duties" can largely be assumed by natives largely
depreciate their in field experience.
The suggestion to send fewer students for longer periods
is well founded. But a non-accredited full year program abroad
virtually requires a five year undergraduate program, especial-ly
for applicants in education programs.
To limit the program to two or three participants would
make application too highly selective and lose the variety of
locations. On the other hand, more cohesive financial support
could send recipients to the "big," non-western mission
fields of the Conference — India, Ethiopia, Japan, the Phil-lipines.
There is an intermediate solution: designation of a signi-ficant
share of the chapel offerings to underwrite expenses of
Bethel SPAN'ers who promise to do projects in missions or
native religions.
Typical SPAN projects are of the first order academically,
include "intensive language and cultural preparation" and are
accredited. The point of tension may be capitalized upon to
communicate the Gospel THROUGH the student aid programs.
Students View Lectures As Objective;
Discuss Religion and Communication
by Stan Aukema
Why on a Christian campus such
as Bethel is there seemingly so
little interest in a group such as
World Missions Fellowship? Why
do only two or three students find
time to attend missionary prayer
bands?
Does this indicate a serious lack
of concern among students for the
needs of our world? Or does the
fault lie within W.M.F. itself? Per-haps
one explanation is that a gen-eral
misunderstanding exists about
the purpose of W.M.F. This article
is written with the hope that some
of these misconceptions might be
eliminated.
W.M.F. is an organization for
all students. It is not a tightly-knit
group of "future mission-aries."
Its main goal is to stimu-late
interest in and present the
importance of world missions in
our day.
Further goals are to promote
definite prayer for missionaries, to
study mission fields and their
needs, to explore different phases
of missionary work, to provide fel-lowship
for students with common
interests, and finally to help pre-pare
and inspire future mission-aries.
What attempts are made to ful-fill
these goals? One attempt is
through regular meetings which
may range from informal discus-sions
to dinner meetings. Speakers
representing many phases of mis-sionary
work and from diverse
areas of the world are heard.
The missionary prayer bands
also play an important role. They
meet at a regular time and place

each week to share requests and
to pray for their area of the
world.
This year each prayer band will
be presenting a program in a
W.M.F. meeting. The W.M.F- lit-erature
chairman, Irene Balogh, is
responsible for making missionary
literature available to the student
body.
W.M.F. also sponsors the annual
International Dinner on March 5.
This is an excellent opportunity
for students to learn about foreign
cultures and to establish friend-ships
with foreign students.
This year as well, W.M.F. is
planning a retreat on April 29,

Why don't you guys just leave
the fire alarms alone? You have
no idea how upset the Senate gets
over this issue regularly—every
Monday night at 9:00.
We don't think it's a bit funny.
This is a serious problem. You're
not the heroes that you think you
are. You will most likely cut it
out and paste it in your "Heroes'
Scrapbook." You are irresponsible,
foolish, and immature; the fact
that you glory in the publicity
proves it. So there.

and author, pointed its nose sky-w

To the Editor:
"A poem with its throat cut from
ear to ear"—thus accuses the poet
Lawrence Durell.
Outside of the fact that poetry
might be a very valid medium for
even a "frustrated intellectual" to
pour out his "cluttered creativity"
toward some form of self-expres-sion
no matter how "tortured" it
may be, and also the obvious, and
possibly deliberate misinterpreta-tion
of my poem as a despairing
shot at the "Good" (which it most
definitely is not), the one question
which occurs to me is what "Hardy-quist's
poem" was attempting to
do?
Obviously I am inclined to give
a rather large boundary to what
poetic expression may be. How-ever,
I do feel, if nothing else,
that a poem should be the med-ium
of genuine poetic insight,
not a clever, critical disserta-tion
on the boring falsity of in-tellectualism.
Thus, as I began this "poem," I
had the vague awareness that I
was participating in the rotten-egg
brand of literary criticism. This
missions led by key personali-ties.
One final appeal—where are the
men who have a concern for world
missions? W.M.F. could be called
the Women's Missionary Society
since so few men attend.
Only as individual students see
the need and become involved, will
Bethel have a significant influence
in world missions.

They want to sponsor an instru-mental
trio from KQRS radio. This
group plays Brazilian folk music.
The question is, should we let this
group perform for our Bethel girls
and their dates?
First, we couldn't answer "no"
without blowing the whole week-end.
It is a little late to start plan-ning
all over again. Second, no one
in Senate has heard the group. How
can we condemn what we haven't
heard?
What really bothers me about
the whole issue is why the Sopho-mores
had to have Senate ap-prove
their program. Don't they
trust their own judgment?
On a more positive note — the
religious committee is trying to
muster up interest for a weekly
Sunday evening vesper service to
be held on campus for those who
cannot or want not to attend Sun-day
evening services at the church-es
of the area. The Senate was
enthusiastic and all "yea."
Bethel's campus returned to nor-mal
following a full week of lec-tures
and discussions on "Religion
and Communication."
The material on which Dr. Nida
struck me as rather odd, seeing
that I was supposedly reading a
"poem."
The more I read, however, the
more I became aware that it was,
in fact, neither. It's not my pur-pose
at this point to judge tradi-tionalism's
paranoia, nor do I wish
to discuss what constitutes the art
of poetry.
But seeing that this was not
poetry, being literary criticism,
and that it was not literary criti-cism,
being poetry, what in the
name of Holy Literary Form and
that most sacred Art of Com-munication
was it?
Apparently this "poem" was an
attempt to desecrate with the clev-erly
twisted club of Wit what might
have been a genuine attempt (no
matter how immature and scatter-ed
it may have seemed to some) at
communication.
It said, in essence, let us all set
around in our frustrated academia,
or lack of it, and crush with the
quick, well-tempered turn of a
phrase anything that seems to
breath of concerned, real human-ity.
If there is nihilism in the wind,
perhaps they are sniffing in the
wrong abyss. What is more
frightening than the destruction
of everything around one, and
one's self to boot, and never
resurrecting anything in its
place? They merely lull ill-con-tented
in the sound of their own
clever tongue.
What was this "poem," then?—
a well lit shrine to the dead. In-deed,
one wonders who is confused
and devoid of genuine meaning.
And my poem?—it's as Lichten-burg
said, "Such works are mir-rors.
If a monkey peers in, no
Apostle will be looking out."

Just what are some of the im-pressions

they relate to Christians? In
seeking these answers Bethel stu-dents
have come up with some
extremely clear and thoughtful
statements.

into the same patterns followed by
so-called "pagan" bodies, such as
trying to please God so that he
will please us."
"He pointed out the prerequisite
of love in communication."
"By comparing religions, he
shows what other people might
look on as stupidities in Chris-tianity."
"This question came to me: How
do we relate intellectualism and
mysticism and just how do we
maintain a balance between them?"
"I think he intended to have us
examine our own personal faith
and by shocking us with our some-what
pagan characteristics, seek
to find a deeper meaning in our
Christian lives."
"I particularly enjoyed his way
of integrating knowledge from
many areas of study—anthropol-ogy,
sociology, psychology, etc."
"He gave us a view of Chris-tianity
from an objective view, in-stead
of one through our biased
evangelical eyes."
"I think he scared some people
and probably made a lot of others
uneasy."
"In order to communicate with
other cultures, we have to see
the way they see the world."

Minneapolis St. Paul, the gateway to the upper-Northwest and
the home of the Minnesota Twins, has more than these attractions
working in its favor claims the newly appointed St. Paul Arts and
Sciences' director, George Schaefer.
"There's no place outside of New York where you can get the
great variety and quality in the arts that you have in this area," claims
Schaefer. The guantlet of cultural activities that one can attend in a
week are astounding.
A selected list might read the following: Monday, November 11.15,
The Minneapolis Symphony String Quartet; Tuesday, 11-16, "Richard
the III" at the Guthrie Theatre; Wednesday, 11-17, A German Music
Ensemble, The Studo der Fruher Music or Robert Goulet and Com-pany;
Thursday 11-18, "The Miser" at the Guthrie or any number of
art exhibits at a variety of galleries in the area.
Friday, 11-19, several plays, an abundance of music groups or the
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra in their regular subscription series
at Northrup Auditorium, featuring pianist Eugene Istomin and the
Minneapolis premier of Copland's Music for a Great City.
Saturday, 11-20, Why Are You Taking Pictures of Me Through
Your Nose? at the Eastside Theatre in St. Paul. Sunday afternoon, 11-21,
The Minneapolis Symphony's Adventures in Music Series features
lighter music and interesting situation presentations.
Monday evening, November 22, the Bethel College Choir presents
its fall concert consisting of some secular and some sacred compositions.
Selections from H.M.S. Pinafore will be included in the concert as well
as negro spirituals, love songs, and sacred classics.
The Walker Art Center, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the
University of Minnesota Galleries all have exhibits of art well worth
attending. The Katherine Nash exhibit at the Walker Art Center is
perhaps the finest showing now in the Twin City area. The Institute
closes its annual sale next Sunday afternoon with the 50th anniversary
showing going through on to January 2, 1966.
The Cumberland Singers will be appearing at the Coffee House
Extempore this coming weekend, November 19 and 20. They will
present a program of folk music at 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30 each evening.
The Extempore is located at 2200 Riverside Avenue in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis Symphony tickets are usually available in a limited
quantity for the Friday evening subscription concerts. Tickets are
$1.25 and must be purchased before noon of the Friday of the concert.
Advance sales are encouraged. Watch the music bulletin board for

St. Thomas Reviewer Applauds
Dramatic Power Of 'Dr. Faustus'
Al Bauer is the news editor of
the St. Thomas College AQUIN
and is a member of Sigma Delta
Chi, the national journalism fra-ternity.
Mrs. Karen Sloan's review of
Foley Theatre's "A Man for All
Seasons" will appear in the
AQUIN next Week.
by Al Bauer
The aim of every actor and
director should be to produce a
play that will lift the audience
from their seats to the stage so
that the people might enjoy and
learn from the drama.
"Dr. Faustus," presented Novem-ber
11-14 in the Bethel College
Auditorium, did just this and per-haps
a bit more.
It was the type of play that
caused the audience to think. It
was acted by a cast that knew
more than the lines they knew
and communicated the feelings
of their characters, thus bring-ing
the audience to the stage.
And once on the stage, the audi-ence
had to work and sweat
with Faustus from birth to death.
The stage itself was one of the
most effective tools of the produc-tion.
It jutted out into the audi-ence
and invited the people to join
Faustus in his search for truth.
In the two most trying scenes—
first where Fautus signs with his
blood a pact with the devil and
second, where Fautus meets the
seven cardinal sins—one had the
feeling and impulse that he could
and should step forward, grab
Faustus by the arm and explain
the meaning of life, death, heaven
and hell.
Director Dale Rott's comment
about this type of staging was,
"When you believe in this type
The CLARION dedicates the
following reprint from t h e
Wheaton RECORD to the newly-nicked
and former Nik-Dag'ers
now residing in Idaho Manor,
Minneapolis, and around Amer-ica.
My poor Son! Heed now the
advice of thy poor Father if thou
art so foolhardy as to entangle
thyself so wretchedly premanently
with one or several of thy favorite
damsels.
If thou hast truly made up thy
mind to propose, pick the occasion
and circumstances most carefully.
Choose not the moonlit evening,
the view overlooking some roman-tic
spot, with Richard Burton soft-ly
encouraging — much to much
like thine own conscience — "I'd
rather be a married man."
Do it not whilst giving private
displays of affection in the (gagh)
Hagstrom Lounge, for it is pri-vately
public.
Choose thou not the moment of
passion when a proposal would
appear to be a natural develop-ment
of the situation, for then
the proposal becomes a product
of the circumstances, and its in-trinsic
impact is lost.
But if thou must, do it well—
perhaps during a sweet and ro-mantic
number at a recital or
concert. And, peradventure she re-fuseth
thee, thou needest not make
excuses, but merely lose thyself
once again in the music. Remem-ber
to make the proposal the
item of significance, not the cir-cumstances.
As to the announcement of
your surrender, shout it not
from the lofty peaked tower,
of theater and study it, it seems
to be the best to work with."
After seeing "Dr. Faustus," one
can only agree with him.
In addition to the stage and in
spite of a dimmer-fuse failure, the
lighting was perhaps the most ef-fective
an audience will see. The
coordinated use of lights, stage
and actors is an example that
shows that the director and actors
knew more than the lines.
After watching the play there is
the distinct impression that Bethel
College could produce with mean-ing
the most trivial work written.
"Dr. Faustus" does not seem to
end with the concluding scene.
It is a play written, directed and
with the clanging of much noise
from the squat little tower that
sits upon the knob of the hill.
But rather, I say, permit the
damsel to shock one friend with
the news. From thence, admit
nothing; deny nothing — for the
rumor shall blaze before thee as
fire on the prairie. And thou

by 'Don Klingberg
Each year the Seminary seniors
make a pilgrimage to the Mecca
of the Baptist General Conference.
It is an expense-paid trip to Chi-cago
for denominational orienta-tion
at headquarters where, dur-ing
four days, every Conference
office is open to us and the secre-taries
make thorough descriptive
presentations.
We were guests at a motel near
the headquarters and fed mostly
by the kitchen arts of Conference
ladies. The evenings allowed social
and recreational diversions to
downtown or Old Town (Chicago's
beat street).
As the several administrative
boards bombed us with informa-tion
and materials there was
some time for our questions. I
did think, however, of what Phil-lips
Brooks said of religious con-ventions:
the speeches are like
"towing ideas out to sea and
then escaping by small boats in
the fog."
The Conference does not lack
organization or capable organiza-tion
men. There was far too little
time for interchange on philosophy,
theory, and theology.
It is clear that the Chicago ex-ecutives
are a hard-working and
lonely set, and the myriad pres-sures
leave them no time for re-phrasing
basic questions. It is high
time for some of us to help them
out with specific evaluations and
suggestions—and they want that.
The ecumenical debate hardly
came to mind and I think there
is small chance of any radical
Conference moves. If you don't
believe me, ask Monsignor Gor-
Wednesday, November 17, 1965
don Johnson or Cardinal Lloyd
Dahlquist. It is good that there
is a readiness to think and talk
about the issues, however.
Bethel's student missionary pro-ject
was a live question. Mission-aries
in the fields find that unpre-pared
three-month visits by stu-dents
cannot be expected to con-tribute
significantly to their work.
The main justification for the cost
of sending students must rest in
benefits here on campus.
I suggest an eventual termina-tion
of the present summer project
in favor of sending fewer students
for longer terms. Candidates could
be found who would give a year
following intensive language and
cultural preparation.

A missionary experience of
this kind would bring to the cam-pus
a much more faithful de-scription
of missionary life and
it would be significant service in
the field—no small considera-tion.
Upon return from a year of
foreign service the students (per-haps
two, rather than several)
could serve during their senior
year as missionary consultants.
In my judgment, we need to give
much more time to basic questions
of why and wherefore. The Chicago
men need to be complemented, not
complimented, even as their work
is to serve the Conference. Less
time in self and inter-commenda-tion

KIL14.. ike- • 5' ttl by Ron Harris
Ron Harris fills in for regular columnist Jim Brand as he
describes training for the Bethel wrestling team, of which he is
a member.
As football and cross-country fade slowly into the background, the
scene of sports action has shifted from the chilly outdoors to the
stuffiness of the fieldhouse.
Basketball abounds upstirs while the hole", a wrestling room
resembling more an ancient Egyptian crypt than a modern building
complex, is filled with panting wrestlers, going through moves, and in
effect, putting into practice the theory of Ira Wolf ert.
The theory is not an innovation for wrestling alone, but has been
utilized since the sad disappointments of the pre-1932 Olympic track
and field run-offs. It was here that not one of the pre-Olympic cham-pions
could qualify for the team on the basis of his winning perform-ance.
The secret to success, claim modern day coaches, is that athletes
now train "past the point of fatigue." Just before a race, runners will
warm up to this point. Paradoxial? "Not at all," respond Big-Ten
coaches.
Fatigue increases the rate of the heart-beat and the flow of oxygen
to the lungs, making for what is known in athletic realms as "the
second wind." But instead of struggling to get it during a race, today's
runners achieve it before the race begins by passing the point of fatigue.
Coach Dan Phelps, aware of this new theory, is struggling to get his
men in the best of physical condition. "Conditioning is a key factor,"
relates the Colorado State College graduate. "But I expect our experi-enced
men to provide us with depth. Bob Baffa, Denny Nyholm, Dan
Wilson, Warren Johnson, John Benson and Ron Harris should give
us our experience."
Nyholm and Johnson were conference champions last year in a
meet where Bethel placed second. The new wrestlers this year include
Bruce Armstrong, Mike Warring, Woody Dahlberg, Bruce Hawkinson,
Keith Davis, Steve Brown, Curt Johnson, Randy Inouye and Paul Ander-son.
A stickler for conditioning, Coach Phelps put his troops through
another day of chain-wrestling, sprint-takedowns, and wound up with
more running laps and paunts up the ropes. "We'll win," claims the
coach optimistically. His confidence is of the catchy nature, especially
when it's combined with hard work. And do you know what? I think
we will win.

Winona State was crowned the
1965 Minnesota AAU 10,000 meter
cross country champions Saturday
at Como Park.
Weather conditions of 23 degrees
and a cutting wind were not ideal,
but the "crowd" watching was one
of the biggest of the year. Experts
estimated it to be in the forty to
fifty bracket.
St. Cloud State took second and
Bethel third. Other schools were
entered as were track clubs, but
none could qualify in team stand-ing
for lack of five runners.
Included in the field of unquali-fieds
was Big Ten third place fin-isher,
University of Minnesota.
The individual runner, Jeff Re-neau
of the Twin City Track Club,
legged the distance in 35:12.3, near-ly
one minute ahead of second
place.
Held in conjunction with this
race was the Minnesota AAU
Olympic Development race for
high school athletes. Bob Wit-craft
of Southwest (Minneapolis)
copped individual honors.
Weather permitting, Coach Gla-der's
faithful five will take on the
NAIA District 13 field Saturday
at Como Park.

This week's Intramural Football
featured the coldest weather thus
far as well as one of the most
important games.
Last week the race for the foot-ball
championship was spread out
a little, but this week's action
tightened it up even more.
The Seminary, playing a great
defensive g a m e, outdid the
Squires 8-0. The Squires, also
showing a good defense, were
able to come within ten yards
of the Seminary goal line, but
were never able to push the ball
over.
Late in the second half Terry
Muck intercepted a Seminary pass
but in trying to run it out he was
caught in his own end zone. It
was ruled a safety and the Sem-inary
had its first score.
The next time the Seminary
got the ball, Bob Clouse threw a
pass to Bruce Erickson who was
standing in the end zone. The
extra point failed and the score
stood at 8-0.
Some comments heard after the
game were as follows: "A very
even game," and, "G o o d de-fense,"
from two spectators.
"The name of the game has
changed to defense," from the
Seminary captain.
The standings now show the
Squires and Seminary tied for the
league lead with 6-1 records. Next
week, however, these standings
could change as the Seminary takes
on the Knights and the Squires
take on a very good Peasant team.
994 students are enrolled in Beth-el
College this semester. 505 of
these are men, 489 are women.
612 of the enrollment attended
Bethel last year.
The total number of new stu-dents,
as of October 1, 1965, is
382. 336 are freshmen, 37 upper-classmen,
and 9 unclassified or
postgraduate students.
The Bethel College Enrollment
Statistics Work Sheet lists the

The junior class has 79 women and

are 71 women and 113 men in the
184-member senior class.
Comparison of each sex's per-centage
of student membership in
the four classes presents some
interesting implications. Men are
outnumbered in the freshman class.
