Bethel Placement Office
To Help Seniors Find Jobs
The purpose of the newly opened Placement Office at Bethel
College is to help seniors find permanent positions upon gradu-ation.
This service has been expanded from that offered prospective
teachers to include all seniors.
The Placement Office has more job information at its dis-posal
than students are aware of, a better idea of positions avail-able,
and specific names and addresses of people in companies and
agencies.
Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, Honeywell, General Mills,
and others have on their staffs college recruiters who visit various
campuses and interview and hire qualified students.
Betty Hardle, in charge of the Placement Service, can arrange
interviews for interested students. Interviews may be obtained for
work in science, industry, education, business, welfare, government,
and many other fields.
The office has, among its resources, the College Placement Annual,
The book consists of three sections, the first containing an alphabetical
list of all companies and agencies in the United States and Canada which
employ, domestically or overseas, college graduates.
In the second section, jobs are listed alphabetically with company
names and addresses. The third is an alphabetical listing of jobs and
companies by location.
To be effective, the Placement Office must know what the students
want. Seniors are asked to fill out and return a two-part form.
Students wanting recommendations from faculty members fill out
the first part. The recommendations, when written, will be filed and
made available upon request.
Faculty members might hesitate to write a recommendation for a
student they haven't seen recently, so students are urged to have
recommendations on file whether or not they need them immediately.
The second part of the form asks if the senior wants the Placement
Office to help him find a job, and if so, what kind. Students gradu-ating
and entering the armed services might find the Placement Office
useful at a future time.
Psychology Students Participate
In Hastings Visitation Programs
Registration For
Next Semester
Begins Monday
Second semester registration will
begin Monday, January 10 and will
continue through Friday, January
14. Seniors and special students
will register on Monday, juniors on
Tuesday, and sophomores on Wed-nesday.
Upper classmen with last names
beginning with letters A-K will
register in the morning from 8:30-
12:00 and those last names in
the L-Z group will register from
1:00-4:00 in the afternoon.
Freshmen will register in four
groups. On Thursday morning
those frosh with last names in
the A-D group will register and
those in the E-L group are asked
to register the afternoon of the
same day.
On Friday morning the M-Q
frosh group will be taken care of
and those remaining in the R-Z
group will complete registration
on Friday afternoon.
As a special feature for the
freshman, class cards for Survey
of Biology, Freshman Composition,
and Western Civilization will be
distributed in the section groups
prior to registration.
This is being done in order to
give those frosh wishing to re-main
in the section they were
enrolled in first semester prior-ity.
Classes will be in session as
usual during registration so in
order to relieve congestion as in
previous years, students are asked
to arrange their own schedule time
and appointment time with their
advisors.
The January 10-14 registration
time period concerns only current
Bethel students. New students will
register on February 3 and 4. Reg-istration
instructions, schedules,
worksheets, and other necessary
forms will be distributed through
the post office to all students.
Twenty-two Bethel psychology
students recently set aside their
textbooks of theory to participate
in weekend visitation programs at
Hastings State Hospital.
The three weekend visits were
arranged through the American
Friends Service Committee (AFSC)
during November and December.
The AFSC is an expression of
Quaker action to provide avenues
through which concerned individu-als
c a n relate constructively to
social problems.
The purpose of this program
is not merely to provide oppor-tunity
for detached analysis and
observation but rather opportu-nity
to serve.
The student volunteer's purpose
is twofold: first, to bring mental
patients into closer contact with
the outside world; secondly, to in-terpret
to the community the needs
of a mental hospital and his ex-perience
in it.
Hastings State Hospital serves a
three county area and has a present
population of 590 patients. For rea-sons
not completely understood
this is a marked decline from 1100
patients in 1955.
There are twice as many women
patients as men although the
average length of stay of women
is only 3 months compared to
10 months for the men.
Two hundred of the patients
have no family ties whatever. The
number one problem among the
patients is schizophrenia, number
two being depression.
The hospital is severely under-staffed
which makes it impossible
to devote the needed personal at-tention
to each patient. About 35
patients per month receive indi-vidual
therapy and a much larger
number receive group therapy.
With such an acute hospital
staff deficiency, volunteer work-ers
can make a significant con-tribution
through personal inter-action
with the patients.
The experiences of the volun-teers
were as varied as the patients
they met. Initial anxiety quickly
dissipated after a few minutes of
interaction with the patients. Pri-marily
the students encouraged the
patients to concentrate on reality.
One of t h e central problems
throughout the hospital was a lack
of communication between the pa-tients.
With little or no conscious-ness
of others around them, many
patients seemed to have turned
their thoughts inward to be caught
up in the vicious cycle of self-preoccupation.
By the slow and often faltering
process of building bridges of
love and understanding toward
the patients, the students helped
to break down some of the walls
of isolation and restore a cer-cont'd
on page three
Mrs. Hardle hopes to compile a
booklet for Bethel job-hunters, tel-ling
where to look for jobs, how
to write letters of application, and
what to say in an interview.
She says of her work in the
Placement Office, "I really enjoy
this job because it gives me the
opportunity to place people who
are likely to be dedicated Chris-tian
laymen in significant posi-tions
in the secular world of
business, industry, and educa-tion."
In previous years only prospec-tive
teachers have had such ser-vice.
This was due to a combina-tion
of little interest on the stu-dents'
part and lack of time on
the part of the faculty members.
Until recently, a faculty member
did placement in addition to his
other duties. Now placement is
done exclusively by the student
employment section of the Student
Services Office.
Non-teachers will be given equal
opportunity to obtain counseling.
The Placement Office has a file
of fellowships, assistantships, and
scholarships available to students
interested in post-graduate studies.

each choir.
In addition to the music of their
choice, each choir will prepare the
competition song, to be chosen by
the Social Committee.
The "Tune Tangle" is a Wheaton
College tradition that Bethel bor-rowed
for the first time last year.
Judging from last year's response,
the Social Committee anticipates
an even bigger and better program
Friday night.
The senior class will have to
fight to hold on to the trophy
they won in last year's competi-tion.
Come Friday night at 8:00

No admissions fee and refresh-ments
will be served. Casual dress
will be appreciated.
JOBS OFFERED
Students who want to be con-sidered
for on-campus jobs sec-ond

Semester's End Pressure
As Source of Creativity
One recent Bethel graduate once described the College
to a chapel audience as a place where he felt safe to make a
mistake. The thought re-occurs on returning to the campus
for perhaps the most difficult month of the year.
Bethel is no Christian utopia. Like any other social group
it is composed of human beings who place their own interests
above those of the community. This becomes particularly ap-parent
under various end-of-the-term pressures.
You see the human side of the campus when your room-mate
is tired and irritable, professors chafe under absolute
deadlines, or you find yourself losing that special grace with
that special someone.
This is, perhaps, precisely the time to quietly assess not
only our personal spiritual fortitude, but our role in the complex
Christian collectivity that is Bethel.
In less pressured times we simply define Bethel as a college
where Christian faith is "considered relevant to all areas of
human knowledge and it constitutes the integrating principle
for the entire college program."
Theoretically, the essence of the thought here should
reach new creative dimensions during the period in which
we attempt to precipitate and crystallize the learning experi-ences
of the last several months.
Creativity comes out of crisis. And, in fact, the applica-tion
of the above principle in daily creative acts is our sole
rationale for being here, as scholars and as Christians.
But these very collective experiences in crisis may also
lead to a subtle self regard. The self tends to romanticize the
whole concept of the exam period, rather than approach the
work systematically and diligently.
More than ever at this time, knowledge belongs to those
who "read, mull, argue, doubt, search, formulate, and con-tend."
In this sense, creativity on the Christian campus is
not exciting, romantic, or dramatic. Rather, the spark of
creativity is given to the devoted—who may also be the
weary, persistent, fatigued and frustrated.
Paradoxically, the same self regard which limits our am-bitions
in favor of visionary goals unconsciously rationalizes
our withdrawal from communal responsibilities. Here the
chances for error multiply and the widest tolerance in adminis-tration
policy is appreciated.
Perhaps our prayer and practice ought simply to be for
the best use of our time in these few days of potential extra-ordinary
sensitivity and creativity.

The declaration is summed up in this paragraph: freedom of religion for all men.
In its emphasis on freedom in
education the Council advocates a
position that leaves the door open
for public tax aid to parochial
schools. The declaration fails to
take into account adequately the
rights of children and could be
interpreted to hit at public schools
as well as education in totalitarian
societies. It said:
"The rights of parents are vio-lated
if their children are forced
to attend lessons or instruction
which are not in agreement with
their religious beliefs, or if a
single system of education, from
which all religious information is
excluded is imposed upon all."
The neutrality and incompeten-cy
of government in religious
matters is overlooked by the
Council in this statement: "Gov-ernment,
therefore, ought indeed
to take account of the religious
life of the citizenry and show
it favor, since the function of
government is to make provision
for the common good."
The limitations of freedom sug-gested
by the Council could result
in the restriction of religious liber-ty
under certain circumstances. The
limitations of freedom are to be
imposed when the common welfare,
the public peace and the public
morality are endangered.
Among the "intangible" results
of the Vatican Council on the Bap-tist
movement can be mentioned
the following. Others will become
evident as the effectiveness or in-effectiveness
of the Council be-comes
more certain.
1. We must re-examine the moti-vations
for our Christian witness.
Are we moved by the Spirit and
love of God, or are we impelled by
fear and the challenges of inter-creedal
conflict? We must main-tain

message, principles and perfor-mance.

The job of the Student Life
Council, as a division of the Bethel
Student Association, is to bring
an equilibrium to our Christian
liberal arts education.
As part of the Student Life
Council, the role of the Religious
Committee is assisting in the en-richment
and maturity of the stu-dent's
spiritual life.
Probing into doctrinal and theo-logical
subjects is one way to
achieve this goal. However, one
wonders of what present value
such discussions are to the ma-jority
of students. What then is
relevant or meaningful to Beth-el's
campus?
Possibly a Sunday evening ves-per
service can be of significance
to Bethel's situation. The Religious
Committee believes the Sunday ev-ening
service is an essential op-portunity
for spiritual enlighten-ment.
By sponsoring this type of pro-gram,
it is not the desire of the
committee to take students away

so necessary to recovery.
Several of the students formed
a singing group which was particu-larly
effective in initiating patient
group participation. Other students
played games with the patients or
helped them to write letters to
relatives.
Even such seemingly insignifi-cant
tasks as these help the pa-tients
to develop their selective
attention to reality. Staff members
of the hospital remarked that a
noted improvement in the morale
of the patients was evident after
the volunteers circulated through
the wards.
All the students who partici-pated
in the program agreed that
it was a highly rewarding and
educational experience. They
found that mental patients are
not "case histories" or names
on a hospital roster but "per-sons"
who are desperately de-feated
in life and crave for
someone to help them out of
the quicksand of their problems
so they can return to a normal
life.
Some of the students plan to
make another visit to the hospital

in participating in this worth-while
program should contact Dr.

a Sunday night service to seriously
consider identifying with a church.
However, there still remains the
need to have an on-campus ser-vice.
This is necessary due to:
the transportation problems some
students experience; the time ele-ment;
the fact that many stu-dents
reportedly find it neces-sary
to study on Sunday night
and; the feeling that the local
church often does not meet the
needs of some students.
After its initiation of the pro-posal
for vespers, the Religious
Committee has received encourage-ment
from students, the Student
Senate, and the administration, as
well as approval from several pas-tors.
With this incentive, the com-mittee
has decided to have three
trial Sundays; February 13, 20,
and 27.
It is hoped that the planning
will be done by seven students,
five of which will be non-members
of the Religious Committee. The
success of the planning committee
depends largely on the degree stu-dents
voice their desires for the
type of programs which bring them
the most spiritual meaning. This
may be done by inserting sugges-tions
in P.O. 103 during the next
ten days.
to point out, "There are no safe-guards
to protect religion."
In fact, on some evenings there
may be not a person present who
is a Christian. Even on these oc-casions
the organization operates
upon the knowledge that God is
active among men.
In the minds of its originators,
the coffee house was "to provide
a place for people to become what
they are becoming more effecctive-ly
through communication." Ac-cording
to Mr. Christianson, it has
"fulfilled and even surpassed these
dreams."
Talking about and planning a
Christian coffee house began in
April, 1964. Enthusiasm caught
hold of many churches and in-dividuals
who donated financial
support and time to forward the
project. Fairview Hospital, which
is also just off Riverside Avenue
immediately pledged its support
believing the House would be a
certain benefit to the community.
Communication and conversation
being its main objective, the Coffee
House provides directed discussions
led by "conversation leaders" from
all backgrounds and professions.
While many of the speakers rep-resent
Christian institutions, there

His room was in a semi-cluttered
state — half filled with books, and
half with mechanic's tools. The
sounds of the Ramsey Lewis Trio
floated up from the stereo which
was resting beside his desk on the
floor.
Behind his door was an eight can
stack of Zerex antifreeze leaning
in such a way as to closely re-semble
Italy's famous tower. Du-pont
batteries and jumper cables
were in a heap on the floor. "Win-ter
is here," he said. "I need this
stuff."
The one who survives this en-vironment
in room 36 of Edgren
Dormitory is Dave Benson, a beard-ed
version of a philosopher and
car mechanic, meshed into one.
"The Garage Philosopher," as is
written on a sign on his door,
enjoys being busy.
"There just aren't enough hours
in the day! I can't get everything
done." Dave works 22 hours a
week as a mechanic for Columbia
Transit, and spends his Saturdays
working on friends' cars.
Even while putting himself

Ford), also a "classic"; and a '46

While lathering up his nose-length
blonde hair in the shower,
Dave revealed that his main am-bition
is to race cars. "I want a
fast car with class. But it's gotta
be different. It's gotta be in-dividual."
When asked why he is seeking
a college education, he replied:
"There are many things I want to
do. Anything that will help me
meet and realize life's possibilities
is great, and college, I know, is one
of these things. I like to read, any-thing,
philosophy and psychology.
Maybe I'll teach."
The stacks of magazines on his
shelves, and books under his "hang-ing
bed" are evidence of his love
of reading. He has year's subscrip-tions
to Redbook, Popular Mechan-ics,

from Freud and Kierkegaard to
Steinbeck and Fromm. As he put
it, "Man, I got all kinds of books."

4. In the dialogue among Chris-tian
faiths that will increase in
the years ahead, Baptists have
something to share with other
Christians and others have much
of profit to share with Baptists.
Baptists can no longer afford to
ignore the ecumenical movement.
They must know what it is.
Effective ways and means for
Baptists to communicate with their
fellow Christians of all faiths must
be discovered. The day of an iso-lated
Christian and of an isolated

of his trademarks. He suspends

"It's practical; I need the room."
Dave's bed isn't slept in during
conventional hours. He likes to
stay up late to study and to talk
with people. He usually sleeps
from about four to ten in the
morning.
Leaving the shower, wrapped in
a towel, Dave returned to his
room, where Ramsey Lewis' "Bare-foot
Sunday Blues" could still be
heard. Dave enjoys most any kind
of music except "cheap rock and
roll." In his closet he has albums
from Percy Faith and Ray Coniff,
to Debussy and Mozart!
The 18 year old freshman from
Bigelow, Minnesota, has had some
outside reactions to his unkempt
appearance.
"I like my long hair; it keeps
me warm. My clothes are nearly
always clean. They're not the best,
but they're clean."
Dave feels that those who don't
like him, tend to judge him on
his appearance. Most people who
get to know him like him.
"If people don't like me or the
way I look, why don't they tell me?
I've been making a few too many
visits to the Dean's office lately.
Muck and I actually hit it off
quite well. I hope we understand
each other."
Dave had been dressing to "go
out with the fellas" as the remain-ing
bars of Ramsey Lewis were
heard. But while walking out the
door he suddenly turned and said,
"Hold it! I can't leave yet. Gotta
have a little toothbrush action
here."
He took out his toothbrush and
tube of Colgate, pushed back his
mustache, and commenced to brush
his teeth.

encouragement in making Bethel's

from Coach Dan Phelps of Colo-rado

He has proven himself to be a
great wrestler and now at Bethel,
in his first year of coaching, he
is proving to be a great coach,
