Volume XLI—No. 15 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Wednesday, February 23, 1966 Dr. Carl Lundquist, president of Bethel College and Seminary, in a chapel presentation last week explained the financial plight of the col-lege necessitating the $200 tuition increase for the coming academic year. Faculty Entertains Alumni At Evening Coffee Hours SPIRE Staff is working feverishly, burning much midnight oil as they prepare to meet their February 28 deadline. Bethel Office Proclaims $200 Increase In Tuition Last week's announcement of a $200 increase in college tuition marked the end of a period of misunderstanding and uncertainty. Dean Webster Muck was present at the Student Senate meeting February 14, to brief senators and other campus leaders on the meaning of the increase. The formal announcement was made by Dr. Carl Lundquist in a Wednesday convocation wherein the President reviewed the overall budget and explained present financial problems at Bethel. At this meeting with the Senate, Dean Muck indicated that the extra revenues will be needed for 1. extra student services due to the increased campus population, 2. more extensive maintenance of campus buildings and grounds, 3. a 4% increase in staff salaries, 4. general campus administration, 5. extension of public affairs activities, 6. addi-tion of several faculty instructors, and 7. repayment of loans from thi Baptist General Conference. Dean Muck made it clear that revenues from the increased tuition will not be used for capital investment on the Arden Hills site. He added that even in view of the increased costs, Bethel will still maintain its status as the least expensive liberal arts college in the Twin City vicinity. During his convocation presentation, Dr. Lundquist maintained that the increased tuition should not eliminate any students from the campus. He expressed assurance that personal sudent needs will be sufficiently met by expanded financial aid. the piano in the fieldhouse after the Wednesday evening rally. This year's coffee fellowship is a ni-arl r:fe from the traditional Founders' Week practice of having a coffee hour on three separate nights in the Bodien Lounge. According to Dwight Jessup of the Public Relations Department, this change has been made to encour-age a more personal atmosphere among participating alumni and professors. Busy Spire editors are facing the pressure of deadline time as they prepare the final shipment of year-book copy for mailing to the print-ers. One hundred pages of ma-terial is due to Taylor Publishing Company, Dallas, Texas, by Mon-day, February 28, according to Dave Snyder and Kay Moir, co-editors. The bulk of material now being completed is that illustrating Council Offers Summer Posts Minnesota Council for Education in Politics is sponsoring a summer internship program for interested college students. Two students from Minnesota colleges will be selected to serve as interns with each of the major political parties at their Twin Cities headquarters. Stipends of $700 will be paid to participating students for the dur-ation of their internship. Non-residents of the Twin Cities will be paid $900. Similar programs are institu-ted for Minnesota college stu-dents to serve as interns with legislative candidates from the Republican and Democratic part-ies and as observers at the Min-nesota state conventions. The two students serving as in-terns with each party's legislative candidates will be paid $200 for the three-month period of work. The eight students selected to at-tend each party's convention will be paid stipends of $50 for the 4- day period. The expenses of the program are covered by the National Center for Education in Politics and the Min-nesota parties. Students complet-ing their junior years are prefer-red, though others are eligible. For the Twin Cities' head-quarter program, application and the three required recommenda-tions must be in by May 15. Fin-alists will be interviewed per-sonally and notified of their se-lection on June 1. The convention internship ap-plications and recommendations deadline is April 1, and intern se-lections are notified by April 15. Legislative candidate applica-tions and recommendations are to be in by May 1, and those selected will be notified by June 15. Mr. Franklin has application blanks and answers to any questions con-cerning the program. The program is an excellent op-portunity to become involved in politics in a practical way. Larry Houk, of Bethel College, was in the program last summer. by Mae Toedter The Bethel English Department actively participated in the elev-enth annual English Conference held Friday and Saturday, Febru-ary 18 and 19 at Hamline Univer-sity. The works of William Faulkner were the subject of discussion, with main focus on Faulkner's The Bear. Each school chose in addi-tion another of Faulkner's works to study and presented the find-ings of their studies in discussion groups. Bethel chose Go Down Moses, a compilation of short stor-ies of which The Bear is one. Mr. Chris Weintz, chairman of Bethel's English Department presided at the annual dinner presenting the speaker, Dr. A. W. Plumstead from the Univer-sity of Minnesota. In his speech, "Rip Van Winkle Goes South" Dr. Plumstead dealt with time as a theme and tech-nique. He suggested that many American authors, including Wil-liam Faulkner, show conflicting Following the evening Founders' Week service on Wednesday, Feb-ruary 23, there will be coffee fellowship for Seminary alumni in homes of present Bethel Seminary professors. Alumni graduating before 1951 will be hosted by the following professors: 1900 to 1939 by Anton Pearson, 1663 Van Buren; 1940 to 1945 by Alphin Conrad, 1424 Ar-ona Street; 1946 to 1950 by Reuben Omark, 1366 W. Iowa. Alumni graduating in 1951 or later will meet in these faculty homes: 1951 to 1955, Clifford An-derson, 1804 Venus Avenue; 1956 to 1960, Virgil Olson, 1520 N. Snelling; 1961 to 1965, Ronald Youngblood, 1191 Carlton Drive. Those who need transportation or directions should meet near concepts of time in their works. His discussion presented three as-pects of time: linear, psychologi-cal and divine. In the first category, he sug-gested the conflict of the concept that time is money and the hand-maiden of progress, that the past is dead, with the idea that there are certain universal truths, that one needs to look to the past for ideals, that the past is ever with us. On the second level he sug-gested the mythical time of in-nocence as seen in Thoreau's WALDEN and Twain's HUCK-LEBERRY FINN in contrast with time as a growth in know-ledge in Faulkner's THE BEAR. Finally, Dr. Plumstead directed his attention to writer's involve-ment in the subject of divine time: free will against fate. David Sprague of Bethel pre-sented a paper entitled "Faulk-ner's Portrait of the Negro in Go Down Moses."

The affair will begin with games for a half-hour followed by an hour-long program. Skits will be featured, along with music by Bethel's now-famous folksinging duo, the Cumberland Singers, "Tuf-fy" Bryant and Dick Fredrickson. Rick Welch is emcee for the pro-gram. Refreshments after the program will be "strictly self-service, eat-all- you-want" sundaes, for which students will choose their desired combinations of fudge, butter-scotch, strawberry, and other as-sorted sauces, nuts, whipped cream, and the famous maraschino cherry. Admissnon fee for the mixer is 35c per person. events of the school year at Bethel. Section editors most involved in the final preparations are El-len Franzen, Organizations, Bob Monroe, Academics and Admin-istration, and Dave Frenchak, Seminary. Co-editors Moir and Snyder are handling the Student Life section. This year's Spire emphasizes stu-dent life primarily through the use of more candid photos. Getting Bethel's total projected budget for 1966-67 now stands at $2,354,840. This is a 15.9% in-crease over this year's budget of $2,031,135. The increased college costs are paralleled by a proposed for a 13% increase in seminary expenses. Concerning federal aid, no definite statement was made by either administration or in the recent budget report. Neverthe-less the following statement from the budget report seems to be a veiled reference to this controversial source of finances. "A more intense cultivation of non-conference sources of income will probably result — although heavy reliance on current funds from this source should be avoided in light of total purposes of the school." The Bethel complex (college and seminary) has run a deficit suc-cessively for the last three years. The overall drive for an expanded budget is an effort to liquidate those deficits and assume a footing for the projected move of the col-lege to the Arden Hills site. a large number of these has kept chief photographer Hans Walden-strom busier than ever recently. With both candid shots and group organization photographs, he has been assisted by freshman John Hopkins. Amateur "photogs" among the student body have also contributed some pictures. Copy and photos for the Ad-vertisement section will also be shipped to Dallas on the 28th. School organizations and nearby businesses are presently being contacted about advertising in the book. The projected distribution date for the Spire this year is May 10 at the All-School Banquet. DEAN LARSON MOVES TO SEMINARY Public announcement was made Monday morning in chapel of Dean Clifford Larson's decision to leave his position as academic dean next autumn. He will then become pro-fessor of religious education at Bethel Seminary. Faculty members met Monday to choose three representatives who will join with three members of the Board of Education in nomi-nating candidates to replace Dean Larson. A full story will appear in next week's CLARION. Bethel English Students Attend Local Conference Staff Assembles SPIRE Contents As Final Yearbook Deadline Nears Student Examines American Policies Contradicting Far-Eastern Viewpoint The following article is based largely upon, the author's observation gained from his life as a missionaries' son in India. by Jonathan P. Larson There is a quaint story in Greek mythology of a god, Procrustes, who had a strange practice of tying people to a bed frame. Those who were too short to fit, he stretched, and those who were un-lucky enough to be too long, he cut off. The bed frame was the standard. The history of American relations with the Far East is neither long nor illustrious. There has been an acute if suppressed clash between Oriental and American culture (maybe complex would be a better term). Americans have inadvertently developed this complex parallel to their political, economic, and military power. It is this complex which has so thoroughly frustrated our ties with the Oriental world. Americans by Bruce Lawson Saigon In response to a recent Western contract, the North Vietnamese leadership indicated this week that it has no intentions of adopt-ing a more flexible attitude toward peace negotiations with the United States. According to Hanoi's propaganda, the leadership is convinced that American public opinion will even-tually force Washington to favor-able terms if the Viet Cong suc-cessfully wage a protracted war. Budapest Large numbers of people were arrested last week on the charge of "conspiratorial plans to over-throw the government 'with help from the West." According to Nepszabadsag, the majority of those arrested were political criminals who had been arrested after the abortive 1956 revolution and released under a general amnesty in 1963. Miami Beach The maritime branch of the AFL-CIO has served notice for President Johnson to persuade al-lies to stop trade with North Viet Nam or have their ships boycotted in American ports. The boycott will affect ships from Great Bri-tain, France, Italy, Norway, Swe-den, Greece and the United Arab Republic. Canberra Vice President Hubert Hum-phrey met the first hostile dem-onstrations of his tour when approximately 150 anti-Viet Nam war pickets surged toward his car in Canberra. Pickets came from as far as 450 miles for the demonstration. have ceased to be pioneers of their manifest destiny and are now strongly asserting themselves as the moral and cultural gods of the world. For example, the Far East has a heritage of kinship societies, a part of which is filial piety. In these societies there is little concept of democracy or popular concensus. The elder rules as an absolute (If I may para-phrase from Louis XIV 'L'etat c'est it'). Naturally from this seed bed have sprung various types of dictatorial governments — absolute monarchies, ex-clusive oligarchies, et cetera, et cetera. But Americans have taken it upon themselves to be the champions of individual rights. So with the flood of American dollars also comes subtle pressure for representative systems of government. Desiring to avoid embarassment, the Oriental leaders acquiesce, and systems are hastily thrown up in compliance with American pressures. Once the legislatures, assem-blies, councils, and cabinets have been established, they immediate-ly begin to crumble. Why? In their frustration to identify with ,a lead-er, the public naturally chooses the president or prime minister. The checks and balances of the legislature become meaningless. To circumvent these councils and assemblies which are foreign to them, the public uses blackmail, vice, and bribery. Inevitably, the system grinds to a halt whereupon a coup is promptly executed, and a more natural state is established. This piques American diplomats no end, and there the conflict sets in. The conflict within every Orien-tal is the desire for American wealth pitted against a personal drive to identify with an absolute leader. The conflict within the American is the desire to be want-ed (offering his dollars) and a naive compulsion to propagate his form of government. Believe it or not, American wealth is something far more tran-sient than the Oriental nature, and in a open confrontation be-tween the two, the American dol-lar, and the liapier mache govern-ments that come with it, are bound to disintegrate. When Amer-ican wealth is gone, American compulsions to play god will go as well. The tragic end to our Greek myth—PIro crustes was stretched upon his own bed, and there killed by Theseus. Is America the standard? Chapel Outlook Several interesting chapel pro-grams will be coming up the first week in March. They include an Inter-Collegiate Band Concert on Thursday, March 3.

We applaud the efforts of those senators who blocked the passage of such a proposal. It is difficult to understand the mentality or reasoning behind the move to disband. It is also alarming to realize that capable students elected to govern the student body and rep-resent student interests could have acted so unwisely, con-sidering such a move feasible. Their reasoning is based on saliently distorted views. Fallacy number one concerns the theory upon which the Student Senate is based. Proponents of the constitutional re-vision suggest one reason Student Senate has not been influ-ential in handling controversial and pertinent issues is that the students haven't come to them. This assumption that students are to come to Senate is antithetical to the primary thesis for the existence of Senate. It is, in fact, the Senate's responsibility to activate the student body. In his acceptance speech, former Senate president, Bob Beckstrom made the statement, "Something I would be very happy to hear from students next year is, 'Bob, I don't like what Senate is doing.' First . . . it would imply that Senate is doing something. But more than that, it would imply that Senate is doing something about which students are concerned. Only then will the Senate be a vital part of our campus life" (CLARION, March 18, 1964). The present president, Bill Madsen, in his acceptance speech stated that he looked forward to his tenure as an opportunity for Senate to MAKE all Bethelites aware of the Senate's concern with the "live issues" of campus life. (CLAR-ION, April 7, 1965) The problem then is not that the student body hasn't made Senate aware of the "live issues," but that the Student Senate has not made the student body aware of what is hap-pening and what can be done about it. The problem is therefore directly correllated to the ability of the senators to handle controversy and direct it to the students. This brings us to a second fallacy: "The difficulty in inter-esting the student in his government is not the inadequacy of those who govern but rather in the system by which they as officers and senators are defined." We have already shown the problem is correlated with those who govern. Those who advocated the thorough constitu-tional revision stated that no major structural change has been effected by the Senate in an attempt to cure "student apathy." We disagree. Last year's thorough constitutional revision removed com-mittee chairmen and certain executive official from the voting Senate and reapportioned representation. It was certainly a major change and may have precipitated in measure the present Senate problem by removing the more acute individu-als from the voting Senate body. Structural revision is not by necessity a panacea for all ills. Fallacy number three: "The present organization is ex tremely efficient, having not spent more than three weeks on any item of business before making some decision." This speaks to the type of issues that have been raised in the Senate, not the superefficiency of the machine. Fallacy number four: "The proposal (the advocated con-stitutional change) was designed to allow for total student involvement." The theory is implimented by a "system of ad hoc committees stemming from the student body as the situation warrants." This is based on the false assumption that the masses will spontaneously govern themselves. You think you spent most of your time sitting around the dorm this year! Other disconcerting problems exist. By setting up one council composed of a chairman, secretary, treasurer and heads of the seven Senate committees, there exists a con-centration of power, especially in financial matters, destroying the entire system of representative voice students have in governing their affairs. The council must by necessity be composed of upper-classmen. Are the freshmen and sophomores who constitute more than half the student body to be subjected to legislative injustice? They must have a voice if they are to be governed. We agree with those advocating a change in Senate. How-ever, that change must come from within the present Senate system. To abolish it would do nothing but lead the student body into a blind alley. We are encouraged to see Senate fol-lowing these lines. • Batman Club gathers every Wednesday and Thursday evenings in Edgren lounge to ingest the scintillating adventures of their newly adopted heroes. Wednesday, February 23, 1966 the CLARION Page 3 Letter to the Editor: Lund Evaluates Senate Predicament wear 2413brp • • • Dear Editor: As theologians discuss the value of the "God is Dead" theology, Bethel has developed an interest-ing variation: senate is dead. Arguments such as student a-pathy, inadequate constitutional framework, lack of significant is-sues and senate is ultra-efficient are tossed about by various fac-tions. As one of the many apathetic students, I would like to add my ignorance to the confusion by analyzing several arguments put forth. It seems that the criteria to judge a "successful" constitution are in the amount of student par-ticipation at various senate func-tions and/or the willingness of students to fill committees, offices, etc. Therefore, if few students par-ticipate it is symptomatic of a poor constitutional framework. Approaching it from the negative, if most students have the time, talent and willingness to take part in student politics we would have no need for a representative struc-ture, except for efficiency. I for one don't have the time, But it seems to me in a college setting one needs to go beyond the high school concept (i.e. lead-ership training and creating a cul-tural milieu) to constructive work with regard to the total academic and spiritual community. Perhaps the student government could serve in clarifying the roles of various campus agencies per-tinent to student interest or ac-tively seek to present a truer image of the Bethel student to our churches. Finally I submit that our pre-sent leadership is to be blamed for the "senate is dead theory." I turn to the March 31, 1965, CLARION issue in which t h e president-elect allowed to be listed his desired goals for this year, those upon which he ran for office. I quote in part, "Among tenta-tive senate projects for next year by Jonathan P. Larson is a series of discussion groups dealing with different aspects of Christianity . . . the preparation of a handbook for students . . . greater interaction between Senate and student. Further, the article states that he looks forward to next semester as an opportunity to make all Bethelites aware of the Senate's concern with "live issues" of cam-pus life. In light of the current discussion it may be well to recall to mind his election speech in chapel. The tape would make for iinteresting listening. The question might well be raised, "What happened to those campaign promises?" Perhaps it is not solely the apathy of the student body but its leadership which is responsi-ble for our present condition. Fred Lund Wolff has transformed names and statistics into vibrant three dimensional personalities who struggle, cry, kill, and despair. London fiddled as Belgium crumbled. The gay parties in London society contrasted with the thunder of drumfire and the blood soaked bandages destroy all grandiose illusions of the "war to end all wars." Wolff effectively shows that World War I was not a moral war (is any war ever moral?) waged against totalitarianism, rather it was the dramatic enactment of petty whims and disagreements. Look. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's . . . no, Batman and Robin are trying to park their Batmobile. Yes, with a smash, zop, whack, and biff, the comic strip heroes, Batman and Robin have invaded campus communities across the nation, bringing with them a rash of hero-worshippers. Bethel is no exception. Every Wednesday and Thursday even-ing the television room in the college building and the recrea-tion room of Edgren Dormitory are packed to capacity with ar-dent fans. In spite of the extensive and ex-cellent coverage given to the SPAN program in recent issues of the Clarion, response to the program has been nil. SPAN is a program that permits college students to study abroad on a summer program while earn-ing academic credit. SPAN will pay half of the total expenses for the trip. SPAN is sponsored by the Uni-versity of Minnesota, and is an excellent chance for Bethel stu-said.

Walter Gerson, assistant sociolo-gy professor at the University who has made a study of the American comic book, reports that there is a "trend in our society to the super-hero." He predicted the show should at least finish the year well —"probably because there are so many bad shows this year," he said. Well, here I am again at the beginning of a new semester. It's almost like looking at the sun after a blizzard or coming up for a breath of air after you've been swimming under water trying to see how far you could go. Last semester was tough. Not only from the class angle, but I had those old feelings wondering about the "Lord's will' again. I guess you know the struggle. Sometimes I think He's pushing me towards Seminary. I just don't know. Then there were those emotional pressures. I sure wish A would let me know where I stand with her. It's on one day and off the next, and I've really begun to appreciate her. Well, I've been told to accept every circumstance of my life as God's will, and part of "His plan " for me. But that s a whole lot easier said than done. I wonder sometimes why He has to make it so rough. He knows I've told Him I'd do anything He wanted me to. All He has to do is show me. Seems to me that that showing could be simpler. The worst part about all this wondering and struggling is the fact that the old H.P.R. has to suffer. If I go on to grad school, they'll look pretty close at that. Well, I said that this semester seems new and refreshing. The pressures have eased a bit, at least temporarily. I'm starting to stick my head out of my shell at least to see what's going on in the 'nother world. Thanks for your interest in me. I'll keep you posted on the events of this semester. I can only look back on the one that's passed and trust the old apostle Paul when he said that in everything God puts us through He gradually conforms us to the image of Christ.

Larson The recent tuition increase has predictably drawn a nega-tive reaction from Bethel students. One of Bethel's unique qualities has been her appeal to the middle and low-middle income brackets. It seems that this facet of Bethel is going to be slowly eliminated as college costs increase. If college expenses double in the next decade, then it is inevitable that Bethel, in order to maintain her operating costs, will have to turn to higher income brackets for its students. Or is she? One answer to the problem is subsidy. There are two alternatives to subsidy: 1. increased help from the Conference churches and other religious groups, or 2. direct federal aid to the college. The Conference has winced at the latter, and it seems unfair that she also balks at giving more liberal-ly to the acute needs here on campus. The time is approaching when a choice of the alternatives will have to be made. Indecision will mean either the dis-integration of Bethel, or her reorientation towards other circles. Until some solution is formulated students will either have to beg, borrow, or steal, or tighten their belts, "scrounge" into their frayed pockets, and cross their fingers. One question lingers in this writer's mind. Was the increas-ed tuition proposal an act of faith? (For those who fail to catch the significance of the last phrase, refer to Don Kling-berg). Poetry Necessary For History In Wolff's Human Look at War Dinner is "wolfed down" and books are forgotten, at least for that half hour from 6:30-7:00 p.m. as the dorm set vie for seats, many coming early to see their latest heroes "cruch" their way through another adventure. Student reaction has been var-ied, however. Not all have respond-ed with such blatant enthusiasm. Some of the more astute view the heroic adventures of the two de-fenders of law and justice with responses from "ish" to "juve-nile." Why is Batman so popular?

Hunting Ground' The following article written by Miss Nelson appeared in the Faculty Journal of Feb., 1961. It is still a timely subject, based upon the author's views as Dean of Women during her tenure at Bethel College. by Miss Effie V. Nelson To be known as an authority on the subject love life on the Bethel Campus is a humbling exper-ience and one which carries great responsibilities. Let it be understood that the vast amount of informa-tion has been gained by observation and scientific research not by personal experience. The Bethel campus seems to be a natural habitat for those who love one another, and one of Bethel's aims as an institution interested in higher education is to furnish a "happy hunting ground" for modern youth. In a careful study of data collected between the years 1925-1961 the following classification becomes evident: 1. The Starry-eyed Dreamer Type. These lovers gaze adoringly into each other's eyes as they dream—always and everywhere. In a follow-up survey it has been discovered that they now see stars of much greater brilliance and that the "sweet nothings" which they have whispered on the campus air really are nothing. 2. The Purse-bearer Type. The tall, handsome youth is brave enough and strong to carry "lillums" heavy purse. After the wedding "lillums" is strong enough to carry her own purse as well as his, and she holds the pursestrings "ever after". 3. The Campus-leaders. The Bethel Student Sen-ate has a motto: "Every Student a Leader." There Page 4 the CLARION When the house lights go down on a concert today, reports TIME, The Weekly Newsmagazine, it is often the audience that strikes up the overture. It is a kind of barn-yard symphonette. The Hummer and the Time Beater serve as the rhythm sec-tion. The Cellophane Crinkler and the Program Rattler handle the solos. In the percussion section, the principal performers are the Brace-let Jangler and the Premature Clapper. Special effects are contributed by the Knuckle Cracker and the Watch Winder. The Coughers' Chorale is di-rected by the Dry-Throated, Red- Nosed Hacker, whose feeblest lead always gets a resounding antiphonal response. The entire performance is chor-eographed by Figeter, produced and upstaged by that notorious team of Latecomer and Earlyleav-er. To teach latecomers a lesson, Stokowski once had his musicians wander idly off-and-onstage while playing a Mozart symphony. An-other time he turned to the audi-ence and conducted the coughers: "All right, cough!" he commanded. "I want a rhythmic cough! Make it louder!" Classical guitarist Adres Seg-ovia recently stopped a perfor-mance in Chicago, whipped out an enormous handkerchief, and honked and wheezed along with the audience. Jascha Heifetz prefers the with-ering glare or, if things get too bad, departure. The late Sir Thomas Beecham was even less subtle, once whirled on the podium and roared: "Shut up, you fools!" As for the dreaded cellophane crinkler, critics recommend that mute fruit—something nice and quiet like bananas—should be sold at intermissions instead of candy. Conductor Eugene Ormandy, who has been jolted from his sleep Wednesday, February 23, 1966 by a radiator whistling off-key, recently requested that women check their dangly bracelets before entering the concert hall. It would not be so bad, reports NEW YORK TIMES critic Harold Schonberg, if "all the bracelets weren't dif-ferently pitched." Schonberg is also bugged by serious types who lug music scores to the performance. They turn their pages in unison and sound "like a bunch of locusts going through a wheatfield." To help separate himself from such extraneous noises, one Man-hattan concertgoer cups two programs to his ears. The audience-participation show, suggests Metropolitan Opera Di-rector Rudolph Bing, is the result of "a general deterioration of manners everywhere, spurred by the Beatles and similar creatures." He should know. Met audiences of-ten seem better suited for Ringo than Rossini. Eric Borgeson by Barb Rood Honored at the annual Founders Week Smorgasbord on Monday evening were Effie V. Nelson and Eric Borgeson who are retiring at the end of this academic year. In addition to receiving gifts as tokens of recognition for their service on the campus, each one also received a volume of letters from those whose lives have been especially enriched by their con-tributions. Miss Nelson, as a member of the faculty for 41 years, has seen Bethel through its growth stages from academy to junior and now senior college. A versatile individual, Miss Nel-son has taught German, English, history, mathematics, social prob-lems, and physical education. She was also librarian for 17 years. She has been Dean of Wo-men since 1937. A. J. Wingblade, then principal of the Academy, was instrumental in interesting Miss Nelson in teaching at Bethel. When he ap-proached her concerning teaching, she had already applied at a school in Iowa and was about ready to sign a contract. However, she felt that the Lord was definitely leading her to Bethel, so she came sight unseen. In recalling the many students with whom she has worked, Miss Nelson stated that students then and now are much the same. How-ever, she did say that students now are more inclined to express their feelings openly. Another member of the Bethel community who has also endeared himself to students and faculty alike is Eric Borgeson. Coming to Bethel in 1942 from the Emerald Avenue Baptist Church in Chicago where he serv-ed as custodian, Eric has been in-volved in custodial service and supervision, boiler engineering, and many other duties. Students remember him parti-cularly as the valiant protector of Bethel's flowers and lawn. Al-though Eric has made no definite plans after retirement, he said that he will probably continue to come back and visit campus to care for his flowers. One of the most humorous inci-dents that Eric recalls is a pro- Effie V. Nelson mise that he made to a student to save some work for him. Eric recalled this promise early one moring when it was ten below zero with blowing snow. He went to the Student's room and got him out of bed. The sleepy student told Eric that he liked work but not that well! One thing that he enjoys about students is their friendliness. He also feels that students are more carefree and don't feel the finan-cial pressures that their parents felt. He also enjoys meeting second-generation students whose parents were part of the campus commun-ity years ago. Who could forget these two cam-pus personalities? Certainly all will remember Miss Nelson's witty chapel talks and Eric's love for flowers and people.

This type causes much frustration on the part of observers as no one can determine who is leading whom. 4. The Puppy-love Type. These are the ever-present cuddlers who inhabit the lounges, who occupy only one-half of a car seat, and who make any spot on the campus a "mushing" area. This type proves the old saying that "puppy love leads to a dog's life." Think of being separated from a leash only by death. 5. The Crooner Type. This singing sobster is a forerunner of Elvis and cannot be separated from his "musical instrument". When he sings "I've got love and a dime," it is obvious that he overestimates his financial holdings. Whenever one is subjected to his nasal whine the thought comes that the poor campus wolf is no doubt in a rap from which he will never escape. 6. The "Moon-light Gambler" Type. This type furnishes the main reason for locking all classrooms and offices each evening. 7. The Model-T-Lover (forerunner of the 1961 model). The Bethel Field House stands where one Bethel couple celebrated many a field-day in an old Model T. The car still had four wheels but no tires, and, of course, it was air-conditioned. Love could never have been and never will be grander in a new Falcon. 8. The Sputnik Type—(space-travelers). This type has no regard for time or place. They return to the dormitory and bring with them such "fuzzy" excuses as they have gathered on their soaring expiditions: 1. "My Watch stopped." What a timely tale! 2. "We ran out of gas." Too bad a car can't run on hot air as there must have been plenty of that. 3. "We got lost in Como Park." No one could doubt that story as they could get lost on the campus. 4. "We got a traffic ticket for speeding just because we were trying to get back to the dormi-tory in time." Ahem! 5. "We had a flat tire." This tale falls as flat in 1961 as it did in 1930. 6. "We went canoeing, and while we were in the middle of the lake we lost one paddle so we could only go in circles." Is it possible that they are still going in circles? 9. The Ideal-lover Type. Yes, there is such a type. These lovers maintain high standards of ethics and scholarship. They never make public clemon4txations of their love for one another. They return to the dormitories on time. Conclusion! 1. Love-life on the Bethel Campus in 1961 is much the same as it was in 1925. 2. The prediction of the author is that the future love activities will be as interesting as the past have been. 3. What about long-range plan-ning? Whether the campus is on North Snelling or in the Arden Hills Area, the faculty must con-tinue to look, to listen, and "to suffer long and be kind."

Seminar Discusses Faulkner Last Saturday the University of Minnesota Morris beat the Bethel Royal's wrestling squad 22-15. All fifteen of Bethel's tallies came as the result of pins. The Royals put up a gallant ef-fort, considering the fact that the Cougars downed St. Thomas, at whose hands Bethel suffered a 23-13 setback, 22-8 earlier in the season. Ron Harris at 137 pounds pin-ned his man with 3 seconds to go in the second period. Paul Anderson pinned his man in the 160 pound class with 1 second to go in the first period. In the heavyweight division, Leroy Nel-son won by a pin in the second period. Curt Johnson at 123 pounds fought his man even in the first period, but succumbed to a pin in the second. At 130 pounds, Denny Nyholm gave it a good try but came up on the short end of an 11-2 score. Mike Warring, 145 pounds, wre-tled a very close match but just could not escape his Morris oppo-nent and lost 3-2. Dan Wilson lost his match to Morris' aggres-sive 152 pound man, 9-0. At 167 pounds, Dave Moss, who has been wrestling for about one week, managed to keep free for a couple of minutes but fell to a pin in the first period. Bruce Armstrong at 177 pounds kept moving and trying for the nine minutes of the match but could not get away from his man and lost 8-1. Bethel's next and last home match is against St. Paul Bible College this Friday at 4:00 p.m. cont'd from page one presentation was that the Negro woman in Faulkner's works is the source of stability in Negro so-ciety. He also suggested her as a means of communication between the Negro and white. Robert Monroe, Karen Sloan and Mae Toedter analyzed the subject "Was Ike a Hero?" The life of Isaac MsCaslin, the main figure in THE BEAR, was sum-marized. Ike's heroic qualities, portrayed in his hunting experiences as a boy, were first pointed out. Also discussed were his choice to re-pudiate his rightful heritage when he reached legal age because of his conviction that he would be perpetrating a curse if he accepted it, and the seeming ineffective-ness of his old age. Isaac was compared to the Bib-lical Isaac, and was also suggested as a symbol of Christ in that he was rejected by his own people. Robert Baustian read a paper, "Significance of Mixed Blood in Go Down Moses," a subject he had studied with Barbara Rood. Their Wednesday, February 23, 1966 The ancient Bible Lands, once traversed only by camel, donkey, and foot, are the spring destina-tion of a tour group conducted by Dr. Ronald Youngblood of Bethel Seminary. The span of two thousand years between those ancient days and 1966 will be mainly visible as Dr. Youngblood's group proceeds not on camelback or foot, but by the modern bus, train, and airplane. Having studied intensively the language and history of the Bi-ble lands, Dr. Youngblood is a most capable tour guide. Present-ly Associate Professor of Old Testament Languages in t h e Seminary, he conducted a simi-lar Holy Land tour two yeatTs ago this spring. The 1966 tour, extending from May 26 to June 16, will include five Middle Eastern countries: Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel, and the Lower Mediter-rannean nation of Greece. Some highlights of the trip will include Egypt's Gizeh Pyramids, the Pharoahs' Tombs near Thebes, the city of Cairo, the Roman Acro-polis at Baalbek, and the old city of Damascus containing the House of Ananias and St. Paul's Window from which the Apostle Paul was lowered in a basket. Sunday, June 5, will find the travelers at the Dead Sea and by Beccie Beek After spending a week in Wash-ington, D.C., three students are titting reality again as they try to resume the routine of classes, studying, and sub-zero weather. John Tegenfeldt, Leonard John-son, and Beccie Beek last week attended the Washington seminar on federal service sponsored by the National Association of Evan-gelicals. They were among 130 other students from various col-leges similar to Bethel. The major purpose of the semi-nar was to provide an oppor-tunity to observe the federal government in action and to be-come acquainted with the oppor-tunities for professional service in government agencies. The Conference also strove to relate Christian and political ethics by showing ways in which Chris-tians could be a witness in public service. There was also an oppor-tunity to see places of cultural and historical interest. Those attending had the priv-ilege of staying for three days at the home of Dr. Walfred Peterson, former political science professor at Bethel, now serving in the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs in Washington, D.C. They also found worthwhile the insights the CLARION Page 5 the Essene village of Qumran which is near the Dead Sea Scroll caves. Following lunch the group will proceed to the traditional site of Jesus' baptism in the Jordan River. Continuing through J e r i c h o, which is possibly the oldest known constantly inhabited city in the world, the group heads toward Jerusalem via the Good Samaritan Inn, the Tomb of Lazarus, and the site of the house of Mary and Martha. In Jerusalem alone the impor-tant sites are numerous. Tourists will want to be sure to see the Palestine Archeological Museum, the Palace and Judgment Hall of Pontius Pilate, the traditional Tomb of Christ, the Garden of Gethsemane just outside the city's wall, and to walk with pilgrim's along the Via Dolorosa. A veteran of the 1964 tour, Dick Ivance, a senior at Bethel, comments that the trip "made the Bible come alive for me." It also "broadened my experi-ence" and "introduced me to my future wife." Dick is planning to marry this summer. More detailed information pam-phlets on the trip may be availa-ble through Dr. Youngblood. he gave them into the political structure of federal government, and also appreciated the time he spent showing different sights in Washington. During the daily seminar ses-sions the different branches of national government were view-ed first hand. Study of the legis-lative branch included listening to Senate and House Committee hearings, seeing the Senate and House in action, interviewing legislators, and visiting the Li-brary of Congress. Examining the judiciary branch included a visit to the Supreme Court and hearing the well-known Justice Byron "Whizzer" White. In the executive branch those attending saw numerous adminis-trative departments and agencies, the executive office of the Presi-dent, the State Department, and the Civil Service Comission. Time was also allowed for personal interests such as visit-one's own Congressman, seeing the highlights of the Capitol City and making and developing new acquaintances. The entire trip was interesting, exciting, and educational. A word of thanks goes to the History and Political Science Departments for helping to make the trip possible.

These were the post-game com-ments of Coach Noel Olson after his University of Minnesota Mor-ris Cougars succumbed to the Bethel Royals 89-83. The annual Parents' Night game pitted the state's two highest scoring quin-tets before another near capacity fieldhouse crowd. Coach Healy's cagers grabbed an early 10-2 lead after three minutes of play. The Cougars, however, outscored the Royals 22-13 in the next seven minutes to lead 24-23. Two factors contributed to this change of hands — the absence of foul-laden Ron Pederson, and the 13 points of UMM's Doug MacAver. Sixth man Bob Nolin kept the Royals apace with 8 points and great hustle. Morris nevertheless led 48-45 at halftime on the strength of its 52% shooting as compared to Bethel's 41%. Pederson, who scored 21 of his 30 points in the second half, and Bob Nolin boosted Bethel to a 58-58 knot at 13:24. Captain Moulton promptly delivered two hitch free throws to give his team a permanent lead at 13:04. UMM gallantly battled and re-mained within one bucket, 83-81, with 3:56 to play. Subsequent scoring read Pederson-MacAver- Pederson to put the home team ahead 87-83 at 1:34. The alert Royals then made sev-eral thefts, but were unable to put the game on ice. But depend-able Dave Bjorkland's two gift tosses put the game out of reach at 89-83 with 10 seconds remain-ing. In reviewing the game, Coach Olson thought there was "no turning point, just fantastic shooting by Bethel." He had ref-erence, of course, to the second half in which his team trailed 51% to 39% percentage-wise. Several other key factors led to a home court victory. First, Ron Pederson's 14 rebounds and 30 points. (In the process he broke Don Moore's season rebounding record of 281.) After playing outside on offense the first half, Ron shifted to a high post the second half. With the aid of Moulton's deadly out-side shooting, Ron maneuvered for 21 second half tallies. A second key factor was Jerry Moulton's superb defensive job FINE SELECTION K. C.

In addition the captain scored 21 points, mostly from his favorite corner. Probably the biggest single key factor was the play of Nolin. He scored 16 points, all clutch bas-kets, and generally sparked his teammates with his great hustle. It was probably Bob's finest effort as a Royal eager. On February 10, the Bethel wo-men's basketball team played Fair-view Hospital winning handily by a score of 39-24. The game began with even scor-ing in the first half, but in the third quarter, Bethel raced ahead doubling the score 36-17. Bethel held Fairview down to win the game. Barb Lindman was high scorer with 20 points making 15 points in the third quarter.

Not the same old line, mind you, because, my children, in the Bethel family, you have finally come of age. That was absolutely grand Saturday evening. There were even roars of approval to make the rafters ring during the wrestling match! Then during that basketball game—had to even turn down my hearing aid it got so loud. But that noise was sheer bliss to this old champion of school spirit. Never have I seen so many people stacked into that old self-contained basketball world called the fieldhouse, except during Founders' Week. But then we sort of pad the numbers with 1000 or so visitors. I was afraid the walls would fall down with all that shouting—just like good friend Joshua. I guess there are hosts of people to thank for contributions. Friend Whitinger does a great job with that band of his. You know, he even was in there leading cheers, pounding on that brass drum himself. Then those dear little cheerleaders. I almost feel sorry for those poor souls as they fling themselves out on that floor and yell at the top of their lyric soprano voices, T-EI-A-M, etc., then jump up into the air, split their legs, and come flown — hard — owch! My arthritic joints ache every time I watch. Such devotion to duty is above and beyond the call. Not least to mention are those great teams. They put their heads and hearts on the line last Saturday. The wrestling team put up a great fight against Morris. Special congratulations go to Bruce Arm-strong. Not everybody had to wrestle a "guerilla-man." Then there was the basketball team. Such an exciting display of competitive spirit has characterized the Royals this year. The spirit of the Royal lion growled again at the Cougars Saturday night. Well, tomorrow the valiant cagers meet Valley City in the annual Founders' Week game. I've been around these parts for years, mind you, and I want you to show those alumni that Bethel spirit just "ain't what it used to be." It's beyond all comparison. Rattle the rafters gang!

Transcript | Volume XLI—No. 15 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Wednesday, February 23, 1966 Dr. Carl Lundquist, president of Bethel College and Seminary, in a chapel presentation last week explained the financial plight of the col-lege necessitating the $200 tuition increase for the coming academic year. Faculty Entertains Alumni At Evening Coffee Hours SPIRE Staff is working feverishly, burning much midnight oil as they prepare to meet their February 28 deadline. Bethel Office Proclaims $200 Increase In Tuition Last week's announcement of a $200 increase in college tuition marked the end of a period of misunderstanding and uncertainty. Dean Webster Muck was present at the Student Senate meeting February 14, to brief senators and other campus leaders on the meaning of the increase. The formal announcement was made by Dr. Carl Lundquist in a Wednesday convocation wherein the President reviewed the overall budget and explained present financial problems at Bethel. At this meeting with the Senate, Dean Muck indicated that the extra revenues will be needed for 1. extra student services due to the increased campus population, 2. more extensive maintenance of campus buildings and grounds, 3. a 4% increase in staff salaries, 4. general campus administration, 5. extension of public affairs activities, 6. addi-tion of several faculty instructors, and 7. repayment of loans from thi Baptist General Conference. Dean Muck made it clear that revenues from the increased tuition will not be used for capital investment on the Arden Hills site. He added that even in view of the increased costs, Bethel will still maintain its status as the least expensive liberal arts college in the Twin City vicinity. During his convocation presentation, Dr. Lundquist maintained that the increased tuition should not eliminate any students from the campus. He expressed assurance that personal sudent needs will be sufficiently met by expanded financial aid. the piano in the fieldhouse after the Wednesday evening rally. This year's coffee fellowship is a ni-arl r:fe from the traditional Founders' Week practice of having a coffee hour on three separate nights in the Bodien Lounge. According to Dwight Jessup of the Public Relations Department, this change has been made to encour-age a more personal atmosphere among participating alumni and professors. Busy Spire editors are facing the pressure of deadline time as they prepare the final shipment of year-book copy for mailing to the print-ers. One hundred pages of ma-terial is due to Taylor Publishing Company, Dallas, Texas, by Mon-day, February 28, according to Dave Snyder and Kay Moir, co-editors. The bulk of material now being completed is that illustrating Council Offers Summer Posts Minnesota Council for Education in Politics is sponsoring a summer internship program for interested college students. Two students from Minnesota colleges will be selected to serve as interns with each of the major political parties at their Twin Cities headquarters. Stipends of $700 will be paid to participating students for the dur-ation of their internship. Non-residents of the Twin Cities will be paid $900. Similar programs are institu-ted for Minnesota college stu-dents to serve as interns with legislative candidates from the Republican and Democratic part-ies and as observers at the Min-nesota state conventions. The two students serving as in-terns with each party's legislative candidates will be paid $200 for the three-month period of work. The eight students selected to at-tend each party's convention will be paid stipends of $50 for the 4- day period. The expenses of the program are covered by the National Center for Education in Politics and the Min-nesota parties. Students complet-ing their junior years are prefer-red, though others are eligible. For the Twin Cities' head-quarter program, application and the three required recommenda-tions must be in by May 15. Fin-alists will be interviewed per-sonally and notified of their se-lection on June 1. The convention internship ap-plications and recommendations deadline is April 1, and intern se-lections are notified by April 15. Legislative candidate applica-tions and recommendations are to be in by May 1, and those selected will be notified by June 15. Mr. Franklin has application blanks and answers to any questions con-cerning the program. The program is an excellent op-portunity to become involved in politics in a practical way. Larry Houk, of Bethel College, was in the program last summer. by Mae Toedter The Bethel English Department actively participated in the elev-enth annual English Conference held Friday and Saturday, Febru-ary 18 and 19 at Hamline Univer-sity. The works of William Faulkner were the subject of discussion, with main focus on Faulkner's The Bear. Each school chose in addi-tion another of Faulkner's works to study and presented the find-ings of their studies in discussion groups. Bethel chose Go Down Moses, a compilation of short stor-ies of which The Bear is one. Mr. Chris Weintz, chairman of Bethel's English Department presided at the annual dinner presenting the speaker, Dr. A. W. Plumstead from the Univer-sity of Minnesota. In his speech, "Rip Van Winkle Goes South" Dr. Plumstead dealt with time as a theme and tech-nique. He suggested that many American authors, including Wil-liam Faulkner, show conflicting Following the evening Founders' Week service on Wednesday, Feb-ruary 23, there will be coffee fellowship for Seminary alumni in homes of present Bethel Seminary professors. Alumni graduating before 1951 will be hosted by the following professors: 1900 to 1939 by Anton Pearson, 1663 Van Buren; 1940 to 1945 by Alphin Conrad, 1424 Ar-ona Street; 1946 to 1950 by Reuben Omark, 1366 W. Iowa. Alumni graduating in 1951 or later will meet in these faculty homes: 1951 to 1955, Clifford An-derson, 1804 Venus Avenue; 1956 to 1960, Virgil Olson, 1520 N. Snelling; 1961 to 1965, Ronald Youngblood, 1191 Carlton Drive. Those who need transportation or directions should meet near concepts of time in their works. His discussion presented three as-pects of time: linear, psychologi-cal and divine. In the first category, he sug-gested the conflict of the concept that time is money and the hand-maiden of progress, that the past is dead, with the idea that there are certain universal truths, that one needs to look to the past for ideals, that the past is ever with us. On the second level he sug-gested the mythical time of in-nocence as seen in Thoreau's WALDEN and Twain's HUCK-LEBERRY FINN in contrast with time as a growth in know-ledge in Faulkner's THE BEAR. Finally, Dr. Plumstead directed his attention to writer's involve-ment in the subject of divine time: free will against fate.

The affair will begin with games for a half-hour followed by an hour-long program. Skits will be featured, along with music by Bethel's now-famous folksinging duo, the Cumberland Singers, "Tuf-fy" Bryant and Dick Fredrickson. Rick Welch is emcee for the pro-gram. Refreshments after the program will be "strictly self-service, eat-all- you-want" sundaes, for which students will choose their desired combinations of fudge, butter-scotch, strawberry, and other as-sorted sauces, nuts, whipped cream, and the famous maraschino cherry.

Section editors most involved in the final preparations are El-len Franzen, Organizations, Bob Monroe, Academics and Admin-istration, and Dave Frenchak, Seminary. Co-editors Moir and Snyder are handling the Student Life section. This year's Spire emphasizes stu-dent life primarily through the use of more candid photos. Getting Bethel's total projected budget for 1966-67 now stands at $2,354,840. This is a 15.9% in-crease over this year's budget of $2,031,135. The increased college costs are paralleled by a proposed for a 13% increase in seminary expenses. Concerning federal aid, no definite statement was made by either administration or in the recent budget report. Neverthe-less the following statement from the budget report seems to be a veiled reference to this controversial source of finances. "A more intense cultivation of non-conference sources of income will probably result — although heavy reliance on current funds from this source should be avoided in light of total purposes of the school." The Bethel complex (college and seminary) has run a deficit suc-cessively for the last three years. The overall drive for an expanded budget is an effort to liquidate those deficits and assume a footing for the projected move of the col-lege to the Arden Hills site. a large number of these has kept chief photographer Hans Walden-strom busier than ever recently. With both candid shots and group organization photographs, he has been assisted by freshman John Hopkins. Amateur "photogs" among the student body have also contributed some pictures. Copy and photos for the Ad-vertisement section will also be shipped to Dallas on the 28th. School organizations and nearby businesses are presently being contacted about advertising in the book. The projected distribution date for the Spire this year is May 10 at the All-School Banquet. DEAN LARSON MOVES TO SEMINARY Public announcement was made Monday morning in chapel of Dean Clifford Larson's decision to leave his position as academic dean next autumn. He will then become pro-fessor of religious education at Bethel Seminary. Faculty members met Monday to choose three representatives who will join with three members of the Board of Education in nomi-nating candidates to replace Dean Larson.

Bethel English Students Attend Local Conference Staff Assembles SPIRE Contents As Final Yearbook Deadline Nears Student Examines American Policies Contradicting Far-Eastern Viewpoint The following article is based largely upon, the author's observation gained from his life as a missionaries' son in India. by Jonathan P. Larson There is a quaint story in Greek mythology of a god, Procrustes, who had a strange practice of tying people to a bed frame. Those who were too short to fit, he stretched, and those who were un-lucky enough to be too long, he cut off. The bed frame was the standard. The history of American relations with the Far East is neither long nor illustrious. There has been an acute if suppressed clash between Oriental and American culture (maybe complex would be a better term). Americans have inadvertently developed this complex parallel to their political, economic, and military power. It is this complex which has so thoroughly frustrated our ties with the Oriental world. Americans by Bruce Lawson Saigon In response to a recent Western contract, the North Vietnamese leadership indicated this week that it has no intentions of adopt-ing a more flexible attitude toward peace negotiations with the United States. According to Hanoi's propaganda, the leadership is convinced that American public opinion will even-tually force Washington to favor-able terms if the Viet Cong suc-cessfully wage a protracted war. Budapest Large numbers of people were arrested last week on the charge of "conspiratorial plans to over-throw the government 'with help from the West." According to Nepszabadsag, the majority of those arrested were political criminals who had been arrested after the abortive 1956 revolution and released under a general amnesty in 1963. Miami Beach The maritime branch of the AFL-CIO has served notice for President Johnson to persuade al-lies to stop trade with North Viet Nam or have their ships boycotted in American ports. The boycott will affect ships from Great Bri-tain, France, Italy, Norway, Swe-den, Greece and the United Arab Republic. Canberra Vice President Hubert Hum-phrey met the first hostile dem-onstrations of his tour when approximately 150 anti-Viet Nam war pickets surged toward his car in Canberra. Pickets came from as far as 450 miles for the demonstration. have ceased to be pioneers of their manifest destiny and are now strongly asserting themselves as the moral and cultural gods of the world. For example, the Far East has a heritage of kinship societies, a part of which is filial piety. In these societies there is little concept of democracy or popular concensus. The elder rules as an absolute (If I may para-phrase from Louis XIV 'L'etat c'est it'). Naturally from this seed bed have sprung various types of dictatorial governments — absolute monarchies, ex-clusive oligarchies, et cetera, et cetera. But Americans have taken it upon themselves to be the champions of individual rights. So with the flood of American dollars also comes subtle pressure for representative systems of government. Desiring to avoid embarassment, the Oriental leaders acquiesce, and systems are hastily thrown up in compliance with American pressures. Once the legislatures, assem-blies, councils, and cabinets have been established, they immediate-ly begin to crumble. Why? In their frustration to identify with ,a lead-er, the public naturally chooses the president or prime minister. The checks and balances of the legislature become meaningless. To circumvent these councils and assemblies which are foreign to them, the public uses blackmail, vice, and bribery. Inevitably, the system grinds to a halt whereupon a coup is promptly executed, and a more natural state is established. This piques American diplomats no end, and there the conflict sets in. The conflict within every Orien-tal is the desire for American wealth pitted against a personal drive to identify with an absolute leader. The conflict within the American is the desire to be want-ed (offering his dollars) and a naive compulsion to propagate his form of government. Believe it or not, American wealth is something far more tran-sient than the Oriental nature, and in a open confrontation be-tween the two, the American dol-lar, and the liapier mache govern-ments that come with it, are bound to disintegrate. When Amer-ican wealth is gone, American compulsions to play god will go as well. The tragic end to our Greek myth—PIro crustes was stretched upon his own bed, and there killed by Theseus. Is America the standard? Chapel Outlook Several interesting chapel pro-grams will be coming up the first week in March. They include an Inter-Collegiate Band Concert on Thursday, March 3.

We applaud the efforts of those senators who blocked the passage of such a proposal. It is difficult to understand the mentality or reasoning behind the move to disband. It is also alarming to realize that capable students elected to govern the student body and rep-resent student interests could have acted so unwisely, con-sidering such a move feasible. Their reasoning is based on saliently distorted views. Fallacy number one concerns the theory upon which the Student Senate is based. Proponents of the constitutional re-vision suggest one reason Student Senate has not been influ-ential in handling controversial and pertinent issues is that the students haven't come to them. This assumption that students are to come to Senate is antithetical to the primary thesis for the existence of Senate. It is, in fact, the Senate's responsibility to activate the student body. In his acceptance speech, former Senate president, Bob Beckstrom made the statement, "Something I would be very happy to hear from students next year is, 'Bob, I don't like what Senate is doing.' First . . . it would imply that Senate is doing something. But more than that, it would imply that Senate is doing something about which students are concerned. Only then will the Senate be a vital part of our campus life" (CLARION, March 18, 1964). The present president, Bill Madsen, in his acceptance speech stated that he looked forward to his tenure as an opportunity for Senate to MAKE all Bethelites aware of the Senate's concern with the "live issues" of campus life. (CLAR-ION, April 7, 1965) The problem then is not that the student body hasn't made Senate aware of the "live issues," but that the Student Senate has not made the student body aware of what is hap-pening and what can be done about it. The problem is therefore directly correllated to the ability of the senators to handle controversy and direct it to the students. This brings us to a second fallacy: "The difficulty in inter-esting the student in his government is not the inadequacy of those who govern but rather in the system by which they as officers and senators are defined." We have already shown the problem is correlated with those who govern. Those who advocated the thorough constitu-tional revision stated that no major structural change has been effected by the Senate in an attempt to cure "student apathy." We disagree. Last year's thorough constitutional revision removed com-mittee chairmen and certain executive official from the voting Senate and reapportioned representation. It was certainly a major change and may have precipitated in measure the present Senate problem by removing the more acute individu-als from the voting Senate body. Structural revision is not by necessity a panacea for all ills. Fallacy number three: "The present organization is ex tremely efficient, having not spent more than three weeks on any item of business before making some decision." This speaks to the type of issues that have been raised in the Senate, not the superefficiency of the machine. Fallacy number four: "The proposal (the advocated con-stitutional change) was designed to allow for total student involvement." The theory is implimented by a "system of ad hoc committees stemming from the student body as the situation warrants." This is based on the false assumption that the masses will spontaneously govern themselves. You think you spent most of your time sitting around the dorm this year! Other disconcerting problems exist. By setting up one council composed of a chairman, secretary, treasurer and heads of the seven Senate committees, there exists a con-centration of power, especially in financial matters, destroying the entire system of representative voice students have in governing their affairs. The council must by necessity be composed of upper-classmen. Are the freshmen and sophomores who constitute more than half the student body to be subjected to legislative injustice? They must have a voice if they are to be governed. We agree with those advocating a change in Senate. How-ever, that change must come from within the present Senate system. To abolish it would do nothing but lead the student body into a blind alley. We are encouraged to see Senate fol-lowing these lines. • Batman Club gathers every Wednesday and Thursday evenings in Edgren lounge to ingest the scintillating adventures of their newly adopted heroes. Wednesday, February 23, 1966 the CLARION Page 3 Letter to the Editor: Lund Evaluates Senate Predicament wear 2413brp • • • Dear Editor: As theologians discuss the value of the "God is Dead" theology, Bethel has developed an interest-ing variation: senate is dead. Arguments such as student a-pathy, inadequate constitutional framework, lack of significant is-sues and senate is ultra-efficient are tossed about by various fac-tions. As one of the many apathetic students, I would like to add my ignorance to the confusion by analyzing several arguments put forth. It seems that the criteria to judge a "successful" constitution are in the amount of student par-ticipation at various senate func-tions and/or the willingness of students to fill committees, offices, etc. Therefore, if few students par-ticipate it is symptomatic of a poor constitutional framework. Approaching it from the negative, if most students have the time, talent and willingness to take part in student politics we would have no need for a representative struc-ture, except for efficiency. I for one don't have the time, But it seems to me in a college setting one needs to go beyond the high school concept (i.e. lead-ership training and creating a cul-tural milieu) to constructive work with regard to the total academic and spiritual community. Perhaps the student government could serve in clarifying the roles of various campus agencies per-tinent to student interest or ac-tively seek to present a truer image of the Bethel student to our churches. Finally I submit that our pre-sent leadership is to be blamed for the "senate is dead theory." I turn to the March 31, 1965, CLARION issue in which t h e president-elect allowed to be listed his desired goals for this year, those upon which he ran for office. I quote in part, "Among tenta-tive senate projects for next year by Jonathan P. Larson is a series of discussion groups dealing with different aspects of Christianity . . . the preparation of a handbook for students . . . greater interaction between Senate and student. Further, the article states that he looks forward to next semester as an opportunity to make all Bethelites aware of the Senate's concern with "live issues" of cam-pus life. In light of the current discussion it may be well to recall to mind his election speech in chapel. The tape would make for iinteresting listening. The question might well be raised, "What happened to those campaign promises?" Perhaps it is not solely the apathy of the student body but its leadership which is responsi-ble for our present condition. Fred Lund Wolff has transformed names and statistics into vibrant three dimensional personalities who struggle, cry, kill, and despair. London fiddled as Belgium crumbled. The gay parties in London society contrasted with the thunder of drumfire and the blood soaked bandages destroy all grandiose illusions of the "war to end all wars." Wolff effectively shows that World War I was not a moral war (is any war ever moral?) waged against totalitarianism, rather it was the dramatic enactment of petty whims and disagreements. Look. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's . . . no, Batman and Robin are trying to park their Batmobile. Yes, with a smash, zop, whack, and biff, the comic strip heroes, Batman and Robin have invaded campus communities across the nation, bringing with them a rash of hero-worshippers. Bethel is no exception. Every Wednesday and Thursday even-ing the television room in the college building and the recrea-tion room of Edgren Dormitory are packed to capacity with ar-dent fans. In spite of the extensive and ex-cellent coverage given to the SPAN program in recent issues of the Clarion, response to the program has been nil. SPAN is a program that permits college students to study abroad on a summer program while earn-ing academic credit. SPAN will pay half of the total expenses for the trip. SPAN is sponsored by the Uni-versity of Minnesota, and is an excellent chance for Bethel stu-said.

Walter Gerson, assistant sociolo-gy professor at the University who has made a study of the American comic book, reports that there is a "trend in our society to the super-hero." He predicted the show should at least finish the year well —"probably because there are so many bad shows this year," he said. Well, here I am again at the beginning of a new semester. It's almost like looking at the sun after a blizzard or coming up for a breath of air after you've been swimming under water trying to see how far you could go. Last semester was tough. Not only from the class angle, but I had those old feelings wondering about the "Lord's will' again. I guess you know the struggle. Sometimes I think He's pushing me towards Seminary. I just don't know. Then there were those emotional pressures. I sure wish A would let me know where I stand with her. It's on one day and off the next, and I've really begun to appreciate her. Well, I've been told to accept every circumstance of my life as God's will, and part of "His plan " for me. But that s a whole lot easier said than done. I wonder sometimes why He has to make it so rough. He knows I've told Him I'd do anything He wanted me to. All He has to do is show me. Seems to me that that showing could be simpler. The worst part about all this wondering and struggling is the fact that the old H.P.R. has to suffer. If I go on to grad school, they'll look pretty close at that. Well, I said that this semester seems new and refreshing. The pressures have eased a bit, at least temporarily. I'm starting to stick my head out of my shell at least to see what's going on in the 'nother world. Thanks for your interest in me. I'll keep you posted on the events of this semester. I can only look back on the one that's passed and trust the old apostle Paul when he said that in everything God puts us through He gradually conforms us to the image of Christ.

Larson The recent tuition increase has predictably drawn a nega-tive reaction from Bethel students. One of Bethel's unique qualities has been her appeal to the middle and low-middle income brackets. It seems that this facet of Bethel is going to be slowly eliminated as college costs increase. If college expenses double in the next decade, then it is inevitable that Bethel, in order to maintain her operating costs, will have to turn to higher income brackets for its students. Or is she? One answer to the problem is subsidy. There are two alternatives to subsidy: 1. increased help from the Conference churches and other religious groups, or 2. direct federal aid to the college. The Conference has winced at the latter, and it seems unfair that she also balks at giving more liberal-ly to the acute needs here on campus. The time is approaching when a choice of the alternatives will have to be made. Indecision will mean either the dis-integration of Bethel, or her reorientation towards other circles. Until some solution is formulated students will either have to beg, borrow, or steal, or tighten their belts, "scrounge" into their frayed pockets, and cross their fingers. One question lingers in this writer's mind. Was the increas-ed tuition proposal an act of faith? (For those who fail to catch the significance of the last phrase, refer to Don Kling-berg). Poetry Necessary For History In Wolff's Human Look at War Dinner is "wolfed down" and books are forgotten, at least for that half hour from 6:30-7:00 p.m. as the dorm set vie for seats, many coming early to see their latest heroes "cruch" their way through another adventure. Student reaction has been var-ied, however. Not all have respond-ed with such blatant enthusiasm.

Hunting Ground' The following article written by Miss Nelson appeared in the Faculty Journal of Feb., 1961. It is still a timely subject, based upon the author's views as Dean of Women during her tenure at Bethel College. by Miss Effie V. Nelson To be known as an authority on the subject love life on the Bethel Campus is a humbling exper-ience and one which carries great responsibilities. Let it be understood that the vast amount of informa-tion has been gained by observation and scientific research not by personal experience. The Bethel campus seems to be a natural habitat for those who love one another, and one of Bethel's aims as an institution interested in higher education is to furnish a "happy hunting ground" for modern youth. In a careful study of data collected between the years 1925-1961 the following classification becomes evident: 1. The Starry-eyed Dreamer Type. These lovers gaze adoringly into each other's eyes as they dream—always and everywhere. In a follow-up survey it has been discovered that they now see stars of much greater brilliance and that the "sweet nothings" which they have whispered on the campus air really are nothing. 2. The Purse-bearer Type. The tall, handsome youth is brave enough and strong to carry "lillums" heavy purse. After the wedding "lillums" is strong enough to carry her own purse as well as his, and she holds the pursestrings "ever after". 3. The Campus-leaders. The Bethel Student Sen-ate has a motto: "Every Student a Leader." There Page 4 the CLARION When the house lights go down on a concert today, reports TIME, The Weekly Newsmagazine, it is often the audience that strikes up the overture. It is a kind of barn-yard symphonette. The Hummer and the Time Beater serve as the rhythm sec-tion. The Cellophane Crinkler and the Program Rattler handle the solos. In the percussion section, the principal performers are the Brace-let Jangler and the Premature Clapper. Special effects are contributed by the Knuckle Cracker and the Watch Winder. The Coughers' Chorale is di-rected by the Dry-Throated, Red- Nosed Hacker, whose feeblest lead always gets a resounding antiphonal response. The entire performance is chor-eographed by Figeter, produced and upstaged by that notorious team of Latecomer and Earlyleav-er. To teach latecomers a lesson, Stokowski once had his musicians wander idly off-and-onstage while playing a Mozart symphony. An-other time he turned to the audi-ence and conducted the coughers: "All right, cough!" he commanded. "I want a rhythmic cough! Make it louder!" Classical guitarist Adres Seg-ovia recently stopped a perfor-mance in Chicago, whipped out an enormous handkerchief, and honked and wheezed along with the audience. Jascha Heifetz prefers the with-ering glare or, if things get too bad, departure. The late Sir Thomas Beecham was even less subtle, once whirled on the podium and roared: "Shut up, you fools!" As for the dreaded cellophane crinkler, critics recommend that mute fruit—something nice and quiet like bananas—should be sold at intermissions instead of candy. Conductor Eugene Ormandy, who has been jolted from his sleep Wednesday, February 23, 1966 by a radiator whistling off-key, recently requested that women check their dangly bracelets before entering the concert hall. It would not be so bad, reports NEW YORK TIMES critic Harold Schonberg, if "all the bracelets weren't dif-ferently pitched." Schonberg is also bugged by serious types who lug music scores to the performance. They turn their pages in unison and sound "like a bunch of locusts going through a wheatfield." To help separate himself from such extraneous noises, one Man-hattan concertgoer cups two programs to his ears. The audience-participation show, suggests Metropolitan Opera Di-rector Rudolph Bing, is the result of "a general deterioration of manners everywhere, spurred by the Beatles and similar creatures." He should know. Met audiences of-ten seem better suited for Ringo than Rossini. Eric Borgeson by Barb Rood Honored at the annual Founders Week Smorgasbord on Monday evening were Effie V. Nelson and Eric Borgeson who are retiring at the end of this academic year. In addition to receiving gifts as tokens of recognition for their service on the campus, each one also received a volume of letters from those whose lives have been especially enriched by their con-tributions. Miss Nelson, as a member of the faculty for 41 years, has seen Bethel through its growth stages from academy to junior and now senior college. A versatile individual, Miss Nel-son has taught German, English, history, mathematics, social prob-lems, and physical education. She was also librarian for 17 years. She has been Dean of Wo-men since 1937. A. J. Wingblade, then principal of the Academy, was instrumental in interesting Miss Nelson in teaching at Bethel. When he ap-proached her concerning teaching, she had already applied at a school in Iowa and was about ready to sign a contract. However, she felt that the Lord was definitely leading her to Bethel, so she came sight unseen. In recalling the many students with whom she has worked, Miss Nelson stated that students then and now are much the same. How-ever, she did say that students now are more inclined to express their feelings openly. Another member of the Bethel community who has also endeared himself to students and faculty alike is Eric Borgeson. Coming to Bethel in 1942 from the Emerald Avenue Baptist Church in Chicago where he serv-ed as custodian, Eric has been in-volved in custodial service and supervision, boiler engineering, and many other duties. Students remember him parti-cularly as the valiant protector of Bethel's flowers and lawn. Al-though Eric has made no definite plans after retirement, he said that he will probably continue to come back and visit campus to care for his flowers. One of the most humorous inci-dents that Eric recalls is a pro- Effie V. Nelson mise that he made to a student to save some work for him. Eric recalled this promise early one moring when it was ten below zero with blowing snow. He went to the Student's room and got him out of bed. The sleepy student told Eric that he liked work but not that well! One thing that he enjoys about students is their friendliness. He also feels that students are more carefree and don't feel the finan-cial pressures that their parents felt. He also enjoys meeting second-generation students whose parents were part of the campus commun-ity years ago. Who could forget these two cam-pus personalities? Certainly all will remember Miss Nelson's witty chapel talks and Eric's love for flowers and people.

This type causes much frustration on the part of observers as no one can determine who is leading whom. 4. The Puppy-love Type. These are the ever-present cuddlers who inhabit the lounges, who occupy only one-half of a car seat, and who make any spot on the campus a "mushing" area. This type proves the old saying that "puppy love leads to a dog's life." Think of being separated from a leash only by death. 5. The Crooner Type. This singing sobster is a forerunner of Elvis and cannot be separated from his "musical instrument". When he sings "I've got love and a dime," it is obvious that he overestimates his financial holdings. Whenever one is subjected to his nasal whine the thought comes that the poor campus wolf is no doubt in a rap from which he will never escape. 6. The "Moon-light Gambler" Type. This type furnishes the main reason for locking all classrooms and offices each evening. 7. The Model-T-Lover (forerunner of the 1961 model). The Bethel Field House stands where one Bethel couple celebrated many a field-day in an old Model T. The car still had four wheels but no tires, and, of course, it was air-conditioned. Love could never have been and never will be grander in a new Falcon. 8. The Sputnik Type—(space-travelers). This type has no regard for time or place. They return to the dormitory and bring with them such "fuzzy" excuses as they have gathered on their soaring expiditions: 1. "My Watch stopped." What a timely tale! 2. "We ran out of gas." Too bad a car can't run on hot air as there must have been plenty of that. 3. "We got lost in Como Park." No one could doubt that story as they could get lost on the campus. 4. "We got a traffic ticket for speeding just because we were trying to get back to the dormi-tory in time." Ahem! 5. "We had a flat tire." This tale falls as flat in 1961 as it did in 1930. 6. "We went canoeing, and while we were in the middle of the lake we lost one paddle so we could only go in circles." Is it possible that they are still going in circles? 9. The Ideal-lover Type. Yes, there is such a type. These lovers maintain high standards of ethics and scholarship. They never make public clemon4txations of their love for one another. They return to the dormitories on time. Conclusion! 1. Love-life on the Bethel Campus in 1961 is much the same as it was in 1925. 2. The prediction of the author is that the future love activities will be as interesting as the past have been. 3. What about long-range plan-ning? Whether the campus is on North Snelling or in the Arden Hills Area, the faculty must con-tinue to look, to listen, and "to suffer long and be kind."

Seminar Discusses Faulkner Last Saturday the University of Minnesota Morris beat the Bethel Royal's wrestling squad 22-15. All fifteen of Bethel's tallies came as the result of pins. The Royals put up a gallant ef-fort, considering the fact that the Cougars downed St. Thomas, at whose hands Bethel suffered a 23-13 setback, 22-8 earlier in the season. Ron Harris at 137 pounds pin-ned his man with 3 seconds to go in the second period. Paul Anderson pinned his man in the 160 pound class with 1 second to go in the first period. In the heavyweight division, Leroy Nel-son won by a pin in the second period. Curt Johnson at 123 pounds fought his man even in the first period, but succumbed to a pin in the second. At 130 pounds, Denny Nyholm gave it a good try but came up on the short end of an 11-2 score. Mike Warring, 145 pounds, wre-tled a very close match but just could not escape his Morris oppo-nent and lost 3-2. Dan Wilson lost his match to Morris' aggres-sive 152 pound man, 9-0. At 167 pounds, Dave Moss, who has been wrestling for about one week, managed to keep free for a couple of minutes but fell to a pin in the first period. Bruce Armstrong at 177 pounds kept moving and trying for the nine minutes of the match but could not get away from his man and lost 8-1. Bethel's next and last home match is against St. Paul Bible College this Friday at 4:00 p.m. cont'd from page one presentation was that the Negro woman in Faulkner's works is the source of stability in Negro so-ciety. He also suggested her as a means of communication between the Negro and white. Robert Monroe, Karen Sloan and Mae Toedter analyzed the subject "Was Ike a Hero?" The life of Isaac MsCaslin, the main figure in THE BEAR, was sum-marized. Ike's heroic qualities, portrayed in his hunting experiences as a boy, were first pointed out. Also discussed were his choice to re-pudiate his rightful heritage when he reached legal age because of his conviction that he would be perpetrating a curse if he accepted it, and the seeming ineffective-ness of his old age. Isaac was compared to the Bib-lical Isaac, and was also suggested as a symbol of Christ in that he was rejected by his own people. Robert Baustian read a paper, "Significance of Mixed Blood in Go Down Moses," a subject he had studied with Barbara Rood. Their Wednesday, February 23, 1966 The ancient Bible Lands, once traversed only by camel, donkey, and foot, are the spring destina-tion of a tour group conducted by Dr. Ronald Youngblood of Bethel Seminary. The span of two thousand years between those ancient days and 1966 will be mainly visible as Dr. Youngblood's group proceeds not on camelback or foot, but by the modern bus, train, and airplane. Having studied intensively the language and history of the Bi-ble lands, Dr. Youngblood is a most capable tour guide. Present-ly Associate Professor of Old Testament Languages in t h e Seminary, he conducted a simi-lar Holy Land tour two yeatTs ago this spring. The 1966 tour, extending from May 26 to June 16, will include five Middle Eastern countries: Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel, and the Lower Mediter-rannean nation of Greece. Some highlights of the trip will include Egypt's Gizeh Pyramids, the Pharoahs' Tombs near Thebes, the city of Cairo, the Roman Acro-polis at Baalbek, and the old city of Damascus containing the House of Ananias and St. Paul's Window from which the Apostle Paul was lowered in a basket. Sunday, June 5, will find the travelers at the Dead Sea and by Beccie Beek After spending a week in Wash-ington, D.C., three students are titting reality again as they try to resume the routine of classes, studying, and sub-zero weather. John Tegenfeldt, Leonard John-son, and Beccie Beek last week attended the Washington seminar on federal service sponsored by the National Association of Evan-gelicals. They were among 130 other students from various col-leges similar to Bethel. The major purpose of the semi-nar was to provide an oppor-tunity to observe the federal government in action and to be-come acquainted with the oppor-tunities for professional service in government agencies. The Conference also strove to relate Christian and political ethics by showing ways in which Chris-tians could be a witness in public service. There was also an oppor-tunity to see places of cultural and historical interest. Those attending had the priv-ilege of staying for three days at the home of Dr. Walfred Peterson, former political science professor at Bethel, now serving in the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs in Washington, D.C. They also found worthwhile the insights the CLARION Page 5 the Essene village of Qumran which is near the Dead Sea Scroll caves. Following lunch the group will proceed to the traditional site of Jesus' baptism in the Jordan River. Continuing through J e r i c h o, which is possibly the oldest known constantly inhabited city in the world, the group heads toward Jerusalem via the Good Samaritan Inn, the Tomb of Lazarus, and the site of the house of Mary and Martha. In Jerusalem alone the impor-tant sites are numerous. Tourists will want to be sure to see the Palestine Archeological Museum, the Palace and Judgment Hall of Pontius Pilate, the traditional Tomb of Christ, the Garden of Gethsemane just outside the city's wall, and to walk with pilgrim's along the Via Dolorosa. A veteran of the 1964 tour, Dick Ivance, a senior at Bethel, comments that the trip "made the Bible come alive for me." It also "broadened my experi-ence" and "introduced me to my future wife." Dick is planning to marry this summer. More detailed information pam-phlets on the trip may be availa-ble through Dr. Youngblood. he gave them into the political structure of federal government, and also appreciated the time he spent showing different sights in Washington. During the daily seminar ses-sions the different branches of national government were view-ed first hand. Study of the legis-lative branch included listening to Senate and House Committee hearings, seeing the Senate and House in action, interviewing legislators, and visiting the Li-brary of Congress. Examining the judiciary branch included a visit to the Supreme Court and hearing the well-known Justice Byron "Whizzer" White. In the executive branch those attending saw numerous adminis-trative departments and agencies, the executive office of the Presi-dent, the State Department, and the Civil Service Comission. Time was also allowed for personal interests such as visit-one's own Congressman, seeing the highlights of the Capitol City and making and developing new acquaintances. The entire trip was interesting, exciting, and educational. A word of thanks goes to the History and Political Science Departments for helping to make the trip possible.

Larpenteur Ave—Ph. 646-4114—Next to Falcon Heights State Bank Page 6 the CLARION by Tom Coniel "It's one of the toughest ball games we've ever lost. It's no shame to lose to those boys." These were the post-game com-ments of Coach Noel Olson after his University of Minnesota Mor-ris Cougars succumbed to the Bethel Royals 89-83. The annual Parents' Night game pitted the state's two highest scoring quin-tets before another near capacity fieldhouse crowd. Coach Healy's cagers grabbed an early 10-2 lead after three minutes of play. The Cougars, however, outscored the Royals 22-13 in the next seven minutes to lead 24-23. Two factors contributed to this change of hands — the absence of foul-laden Ron Pederson, and the 13 points of UMM's Doug MacAver. Sixth man Bob Nolin kept the Royals apace with 8 points and great hustle. Morris nevertheless led 48-45 at halftime on the strength of its 52% shooting as compared to Bethel's 41%. Pederson, who scored 21 of his 30 points in the second half, and Bob Nolin boosted Bethel to a 58-58 knot at 13:24. Captain Moulton promptly delivered two hitch free throws to give his team a permanent lead at 13:04. UMM gallantly battled and re-mained within one bucket, 83-81, with 3:56 to play. Subsequent scoring read Pederson-MacAver- Pederson to put the home team ahead 87-83 at 1:34. The alert Royals then made sev-eral thefts, but were unable to put the game on ice. But depend-able Dave Bjorkland's two gift tosses put the game out of reach at 89-83 with 10 seconds remain-ing. In reviewing the game, Coach Olson thought there was "no turning point, just fantastic shooting by Bethel." He had ref-erence, of course, to the second half in which his team trailed 51% to 39% percentage-wise. Several other key factors led to a home court victory. First, Ron Pederson's 14 rebounds and 30 points. (In the process he broke Don Moore's season rebounding record of 281.) After playing outside on offense the first half, Ron shifted to a high post the second half. With the aid of Moulton's deadly out-side shooting, Ron maneuvered for 21 second half tallies. A second key factor was Jerry Moulton's superb defensive job FINE SELECTION K. C.

In addition the captain scored 21 points, mostly from his favorite corner. Probably the biggest single key factor was the play of Nolin. He scored 16 points, all clutch bas-kets, and generally sparked his teammates with his great hustle. It was probably Bob's finest effort as a Royal eager. On February 10, the Bethel wo-men's basketball team played Fair-view Hospital winning handily by a score of 39-24. The game began with even scor-ing in the first half, but in the third quarter, Bethel raced ahead doubling the score 36-17. Bethel held Fairview down to win the game. Barb Lindman was high scorer with 20 points making 15 points in the third quarter. Bethel capped a three game win-ning streak February 12, by win-ning against St. Paul Bible Col- However, probably the best way to sum up the factors came in the words of Jerry Moulton, "It was the best team effort I've play ed with — 100% effective." Doug MacAver led all scorers with 34 and was followed by 6'5" Roger Schuaser with 23, and Jim Drealan and Brabender with 10 apiece. In addition to Pederson's 30, Moulton's 21, and Nolin's 16, Dave Bjorkland netted 15. lege 38-24. Again the half-time score was close but Bethel streng-thened her lead to win. On February 15, Bethel lost to Augsburg by 53-33. The first half was marked by close scores and good, fast ball handling by both teams. The second half, Bethel slow-ed down and Augsburg contin-ued their lead to win by 20 points. Bethel's current record is 8-4. The last two home games are against Gustavus Adolphus, Febru-ary 19, and Northwestern, March 1. by GrampaYohnson Well, children, time again for Daddy to talk to you about school spirit. Not the same old line, mind you, because, my children, in the Bethel family, you have finally come of age. That was absolutely grand Saturday evening. There were even roars of approval to make the rafters ring during the wrestling match! Then during that basketball game—had to even turn down my hearing aid it got so loud. But that noise was sheer bliss to this old champion of school spirit. Never have I seen so many people stacked into that old self-contained basketball world called the fieldhouse, except during Founders' Week. But then we sort of pad the numbers with 1000 or so visitors. I was afraid the walls would fall down with all that shouting—just like good friend Joshua. I guess there are hosts of people to thank for contributions. Friend Whitinger does a great job with that band of his. You know, he even was in there leading cheers, pounding on that brass drum himself. Then those dear little cheerleaders. I almost feel sorry for those poor souls as they fling themselves out on that floor and yell at the top of their lyric soprano voices, T-EI-A-M, etc., then jump up into the air, split their legs, and come flown — hard — owch! My arthritic joints ache every time I watch. Such devotion to duty is above and beyond the call. Not least to mention are those great teams. They put their heads and hearts on the line last Saturday. The wrestling team put up a great fight against Morris. Special congratulations go to Bruce Arm-strong. Not everybody had to wrestle a "guerilla-man." Then there was the basketball team. Such an exciting display of competitive spirit has characterized the Royals this year. The spirit of the Royal lion growled again at the Cougars Saturday night. Well, tomorrow the valiant cagers meet Valley City in the annual Founders' Week game. I've been around these parts for years, mind you, and I want you to show those alumni that Bethel spirit just "ain't what it used to be." It's beyond all comparison. Rattle the rafters gang!
