Minneapolis Pianist To Appear
In Solo Recital Friday Night
The Pit Boys, pledged to the social well-being of the campus, pass
unbiased judgment on the Bethel female population.
Through the combined efforts
of Dan Nordell and Bob Kelshaw.
Bethel's ham station WAOOGG is
once again communicating with
stations located throughout the
United States, Canada and Mexico.
In conjunction with this, a radio
club has been organized to help
interested Bethel students earn an
F.C.C. license which would allow
them to take advantage of the
equipment.
Every weekday at 3:30, a class
is held for learning the Morse
code which is necessary in pro-curing
a license. Starting some-time
in March, Dr. Eugene Chen-ette,
professor of Electrical En-gineering
at the University of
Minnesota and sponsor of the
club, will deliver weekly lectures
on radio theory.
The station communicates on
certain frequency bands set aside
by the Federal Communications
Commission for amateur use.
The radio club hopes eventually
to provide services for Bethel stu-dents.
A list of all students in or-der
of their home towns is pres-ently
being compiled. By using
this in conjunction with the radio
station, many students will have
the opportunity to talk wih their
families free of charge regardless
of the distance.
The station will also be used
as a "Voice of Bethel" to pro-mote
public relations and pro-vide
communications with mis-sionaries,
alumni and the con-ference.
Also in the planning stages is
an inter-campus radio station. The
school already owns much of the
necessary equiment, and work is
being done to put it into operat-ing
condition.
The station will be a student op-erated
and maintained project. It
will be used to broadcast student
talent in music and speech, pro-mote
school functions or just tq
play pre-recorded music for stu-dent
enjoyment.
Those interested in joining the
club should see Dan Nordell for
further information. Dean Clifford Larson
A committee of three college
faculty representatives and three
board of education members has
been organized to nominate can-didates
to replace Dean Larson.
Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom, one of
the faculty representatives and
one who has worked closely with
Dr. Larson, commented that an
outstanding characteristic of Dean
Larson is the great fund of infor-mation
about education which he
has at his command and is able
to apply to any situation.
Dr. Fagerstrom speaks for Bethel
College in commenting that "we
cannot help but miss having the
kind of resource person as is Dean
Clifford Larson."
Academic Dean Resigns;
Takes Seminary Position
Leaving his position as Academic Dean of the College, Clifford E.
Larson is accepting an invitation from the seminary faculty to teach
Religious Education at Bethel Theological Seminary beginning in the
autumn of 1966. This spring will terminate his tenth year of service as
Dean of the College.
Dr. Larson came to Bethel College in 1949 to teach Religious Educa-tion.
During his years of teaching, he also served extensively on the
curriculum committee, which is the heart of the academic program.
Here he gained useful experience for the deanship to which he was
elected in 1956.
During the ten years of Dr. Larson's service in this post, Bethel
has more than doubled its size, becoming the fastest growing private
college in the state of Minnesota.
Bethel has become fully accredited by the North Central Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The teacher education for both sec-ondary
and elementary education have also become accredited by the
Minnesota State Board of Education.
The Dean expressed his reasons for leaving as "a desire to return
to teaching where I can serve at my best." His goal is to eventually
help establish a Masters Degree program in Religious Education at the
Seminary.

Bethel Spanish classes are par-ticipating
in an interesting array
of activities to provide the stu-dents
with opportunities for cul-tural

Wednesday, February 17, enthus-iastic
Spanish students from Bethel
were relieved of the routine of
lab sessions and grammar drills to
admire the spirited Ballet Folklo-rico
of Morelia, Mexico.
In order to experience some
flavor of religious feeling in a

A survey conducted by the Stu-dent
Social Welfare Committee on
February 22, met with much reac-tion,
both passively positive and
fiercely negative.
Due to existing conditions, it is
felt that subsequent misunder-standings
must be met with full
explanation.
Purpose of the survey was two-fold.
First, it was an attempt to
objectively survey the physical
attractiveness of Bethel woman-hood.
Judging in four categories, (1)
poise, face and hair, (2) clothes,
(3) general appearance, (4) and
(delicately) bodily proportion, the
survey placed an emphasis upon
each girl's personal attractiveness
—not merely "physical beauty."
A second objective of the sur-vey
was to ascertain the opinion
of the Bethel girl of herself. Fig-ures

cafeteria either refused to accept
a survey ticket or failed to show
it upon leaving the lunch line.
present pastor of the Arlington
Hills Presbyterian Church, will be
the speaker. His wife will provide
music for the service.
"Rosina es Fragil" is the title
of a comedy in one act, at present
in embryonic stages of develop-ment
among some Intermediate
Spanish students.
On Monday afternoons the stu-dents
practice the conversational
style as well as rehearse this
story of the girl with a thousand
love proposals who did not know
how to reject one. Curtain time
will come this spring.
Come, clap your hands or play
the castanets. It is for those who
think Spanish (but . . . who said
you must speak it?).
The Pit offers a sincere thanks
and heartiest congratulations to
those Bethel girls who had
enough sportsmanship and
enough respect for themselves to
cooperate in this contest in
which no malice was intended.
In due respect to those partici- _
pating girls, a curve (statistical)
was drawn and showed that taken
as a whole, the Bethel girl from
the line was rated " above aver-age"
according to standards set by
the four judges.
The first ten places went to:
1. Connie Oosterbaan; 2. Bonnie
Baki; 3. Kay Johnson; and alpha-betically,
Marcia Carlson, Carol
Hough, Allison Johnston, Arlene
Knapp, Becky Lindaman, Vonn
Lane Pearson, Beverly Rusche.
The first three lucky winners
will receive dates from "Pit
Boys." First place receives five
dates, second four, and third
three, which may be taken any-time
during a thirty-day period.
Lists of "Pit Dates" and letters
of official recognition will be sent
to the first three place winners,
and dating arrangements worked
out through Survey Coordinator,
Fred Lund.
Intercollegiate
Concert Given
An intercollegiate band concert
featuring students from Bethel, St.
Thomas, Macalester colleges, and
Hamline University will be pre-sented
during the chapel hour
Thursday, March 3.
The band will play selections by
a wide range of composers, includ-ing
Richard Strauss, C. Saint
Saens and Johnny Mercer.
Directing the various selections
will be Julius Whitinger of Bethel,
Francis N. Mayer of the College
of St. Thomas, Paul A. Pizner of
Hamline, and Butler R. Eitel of

Armour Unwinds With Zesty Satire;
Highlights Foibles of Academic Life
One word that strikes terror into the heart of every red-blooded
American male between the ages of 18 and 26 today
is the word "draft." The most popular bit of unsolicited mail in
the United States is that elongated white postcard with the
blank after "class" filled in with 1-A.
In the intervening years since the Korean war, the draft
was regarded casually as a rather moderate threat, or in the
worst analysis, a chore to be undertaken that could possibly
lead the serviceman into a rather pleasurable tour of duty
overseas.
All of that has changed now. With the escalation of the
war in Viet Nam, the draft has become the most primary
concern in the mind of every healthy, young, eligible Ameri-can
male.
Why? Future draft calls are expected to average well
above 30,000 a month. What is more important is the fact that
today's draftee stands a good chance of ending up where the
fighting is.
According to TIME magazine, in 1965, when the United
States had only 23,300 men in Viet Nam, less than 1% were
draftees; today draftees make up 20% of the nearly 200,000
men in Viet Nam.
TIME goes on to state that the proportion is likely to go
higher with rising troop commitments. Therefore, the new
draftee has something like a one in five chance of wading
through the rice paddies.
Part of the problem with the draft from the point of view
of the inductee is the fact that he understands so little about
the war he is going to fight. There is really no strong motiva-tion
to join in.
Furthermore, today more than ever the American male is
engaged in either well-paying jobs or additional schooling. To
he snatched from these would mean a serious encroachment
upon what he considers his endowed right to lead a good life.
There is always the subsequent objection: the draft is
not fair. It picks some and leaves others. Lieut. General
Lewis B. Hershey, who for 25 years has headed the draft,
states that the draft was not meant to treat all men equally.
It is only meant to provide for enough manpower for the
armed forces while seeing to it that it doesn't interrupt the
normalcy of activities at home.
The only alternative to the draft seems to be universal
military service for shorter terms. But this doesn't cure all ills.
.It would be far too expensive and inefficient as well as supply
far more manpower than could possibly be used. It would also
still force officials into deciding who will fight and who will
stay home.
The draft is definitely not all-desirable. There are many
problems. But to fight the seeming injustice of the system is
futile. And, in fact, to draft all men regardless of their individu-al
circumstances would be more undemocratic.
It appears that the only attitude that the American male
can take toward the draft and keep his sanity is the one that
says, "How can I do less for a land that offers me so many
opportunities."
Again, the theory is great. The practice — not always easy.
(ACP)—The war in Viet Nam
has generated a good deal of de-bate
on college campuses recently.
Why do these people, and others,
protest and argue? Well, says the
University of Oregon Daily Emer-ald,
the present generation of col-lege
youth was born deep in the
bowels of the greatest world war
in history. Many of them have no
living fathers because of that war,
and many others have fathers
bearing the lifelong scars of bat-tle.
Five years after the war, when
most of today's students were be-tween
the ages of 3 and 10, an-other
major conflict was at hand,
this time in Korea. The young-sters
saw their older brother:
drafted for battle—many of them
just out of college. Some never
came home.
Today, 12 years after the end
of the Korean war and fewer
years after Quemoy and Matsu,
Berlin, Lebanon, and Cuba, Am-erica
again faces a major war,
this time with implications the
world has only recently begun
to imagine.
Today's college student had lit
tle or no contact with develop-ments
which led to the present
situation in Viet Nam. Precious
few voices were raised in question
when President Eisenhower first
committed American troops in
Southeast Asia as early as 1956.
The adults who today criticize the
student for inspecting his govern.
ment's policies paid pitifully little
attention to the warnings sounded
a decade ago about America fight-ing
a land war in Asia.
So today's student watches draft
calls rise and wonders who will
be next. He watches Sen. Wayne
Morse's predictions of massive war
in Asia slowly become reality, and
he rightfully questions Defense
Secretary Robert McNamara's
three separate and widely-spaced
forecasts that American boys
would be home by the end of 1965.
Most of all, he wonders about the
real reasons for this war 8,00(}
miles from home, reasons which
have yet to be fully explained.
The fact is that many more
college students should concern
themselves with this war—more
even than they are now concern-ed.
It may be the most important
problem they will ever face.
Those who are vigorously debat-ing
the issue are asking ques-tions
all Americans should be
asking, regardless of political
belief. These students are wor-ried.
They're not kidding them-selves
into unthinking accept-ance
of glib official answers giv-en
by diplomats.
Today's student would like a
chance to finish school, get a job,
and perhaps marry and raise a
family, uninterrupted by nuclear

Richard Armour, McGraw-Hill Book Co., New
York.
Richard Armour's 29th book,
"GOING AROUND IN ACADEMIC
CIRCLES: A LOW VIEW OF HIGH-ER
EDUCATION," recently pub-lished
by McGraw-Hill, is an in-side
job spoof on the American
College written by a man with
more than thirty-seven years' ex-perience
as a teacher and adminis-trator
in schools all over the coun-try.
The book is a parody of a com-plete
college catalogue, covering
such tonics as admissions, expen-ses,
the campus, and the curricu-lum—
all seen from Armour's very
special point of view.
The author includes a history
of higher education from pre-historic
times to the present.

hitherto-unearthed facts about
education that he includes:

Commission Administers Research
Under Peterson's, Fahs' Direction
by Linda Carol Olson
Housed in a small, unassuming
back room of Bethel's language
house on Arona Avenue are the re-sults
of an exhaustive nine month
research conducted by the Health
Manpower Advisory Commission
under the direction of Dr. Osler
W. Peterson of Harvard Univer-sity
and Bethel College sociologist,
Dr. Ivan Fahs.
The Commission was requested
by the University of Minnesota
Board of Regents after the Uni-versity's
Medical School Dean pro-posed
an expansion of the medical
school.
The purpose, then, of the corn-mission
was to assess whether or
not a shortage of doctors existed
which would necessitate such an
expansion.
Financed at $125,000 by the Hill
Family Foundation, the commis-sion,
with a staff of up to 60 mem-bers,
began collecting and analyz-ing
data.
One study was made to deter-mine
the number of persons out-side
of a fifteen mile radius of a
doctor. First each fifteen mile
radius containing at least one doc-tor
was located and plotted on
maps of Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, and Montana.
Then a population density map
was superimposed over this map
to determine just how many per-sons
are farther than this dis-tance
from a doctor.
From this viewpoint, the situa-tion
does not appear serious. In
1950, 33,000 Minnesotans were
classified "outside"; in 1960 there
were 26,723.
Other studies disclosed, however,
that the population is growing
faster than the doctor supply. In
1950 the state had 103 physicians

I've been wrestling with two problems relevant to my Christian
faith. One concerns being at the same time a Christian and a twentieth
century man. The other concerns Biblical inerrancy. I thought you
would be interested in knowing what I've been thinking.
To be a Christian and at the same time a twentieth century man,
is a very difficult thing to do in most conservative American churches.
A Christian must be a believer while a twentieth century man often
cannot. Therefore, a twentieth century man can hardly be a Christian.
A Christian is, in the first place, a believer — where to believe
means to give unreserved intellectual assent to the teachings of a
church and its tradition. To be a disbeliever, to question the authority
of church and tradition, is the opposite of being a Christian.
A twentieth century man is, on the other hand, a disbeliever —
where to disbelieve means to reserve intellectual assent for that which
seems most rational. To be a believer, to accept without question the
authority of church and tradition, is the opposite of being a twentieth
century man.
When a twentieth century man must disbelieve things that are
considered sacrosanct it would appear that he has but one choice: to
be a Christian, or to be a twentieth century man. This is the "gospel"
of conservative Christianity. It is so much less than the gospel of the
New Testament.
Concerning scriptural inerrancy, it seems that the doctrine of
Biblical inerrancy was necessarily born in an age when the implica-tions
of the relativity of language were not understood. Since then it
has become such a theological security blanket that conservative
Christians cannot and will not let it go.
The doctrine will certainly suffer through the agonizing death
pangs of a doctrine confidently avowed and obstinately maintained.
One will be able to watch for another generation or two the qualifica-tion,
interpretation, and reinterpretation that attempts to, but never
succeeds in bringing new life to dead forms.
In the meantime, conservative theologians search for ways to de-fend
the doctrine of Biblical inerrancy. Since "original manuscripts"
will never be found, much discussion centers around these. One can
hardly point out problems in manuscripts that do not exist! Some even
suppose that they solve the problem in this way.
Sincerely,
DGP
All-School Elections Held In March;
Class Officers To Be Elected Later
Founders' Week now over, it is
interesting to hear the students
react to the convention, the peo-ple,
and the program.
Of course one advantage en-joyed
by every student was the
smorgasbord Monday night. Stu-dents
were also glad to talk with
pastors, relatives, and friends who
were on campus for the conven-tion.
The general attitude toward
Founders' Week ranged from
"Great" to "Nothing could be
worse."
As far as having such a crowd
of people on the campus, some
thought it ridiculous inasmuch as
the campus is too small for our
own student body. However, one
student enthusiastically welcomed
them because we are "... so iso-lated,
it's good to just see people
and talk to them."
The interrupted classes affected
most of the student body. Many
of the students who were ques-tioned
felt that if our classes were
to be cut anyway, they should be
cancelled altogether.
Students often rushed to class
only to find a note from an ab-sent
teacher. Others wanted to
take part in seminars which
were in session during class
hours.
Most agreed that the opportun-ity
to hear Dr. Munger and take
part in the evening services (if
there wasn't too much studying)
was one which one couldn't have
had if Founders' Week had been
scheduled for, say, semester break.
And yet, in a sense the student
body did not "belong" here. Sev-eral
students commented that sem-inars
were not widely publicized
to the students presumably be-cause
the sessions were primarily
for the guests.
Also, the library being closed
to students during Thursday's
coffee hour was met with be-wilderment
if not discontent, es-pecially
since such an effort was
being made to not disrupt aca-demic
activities.
With such varied reactions —
both liking and disliking the con-ference
at the same time — no
concrete conclusions can be made
as to the worth of Founders' Week
to the individual student since it
affected each differently.
Saturday, March 5, the World
Missions Fellowship will sponsor
its annual International Dinner.
Approximately 100 students re-plied
to the invitation given by
WMF. These students will host
guests from their choice of coun-try,
bringing the number of peo-ple
attending the dinner to about
200.
The dinner will provide an
opportunity for Bethel students
to get acquainted with foreign
students from other Twin City
colleges such as Macalester, St.
Catherine, St. Thomas, Hamline,
and the University of Minnesota.
Bethel students are also encour-aged
to remain in contact with
their guests following the banquet.
Spring is coming and so are the
all-school elections. In the March
elections the school president,
vice president, treasurer, campus
co-ordinator and five senate mem-ber-
at-large representatives are
chosen.
Later in the spring the Senior,
Junior, and Sophomore class ex-ecutive
officers and representa-tives
are elected.
Within two weeks it is ex-pected
that parties will form
behind the presidential candi-dates.
The parties serve the
functions of conducting party
primaries to choose their repre-sentatives,
drawing up plat-,
f orms, organizing candidates'
campaigns, roaring and hollering
at political rallies and voting for
their favorites.
All wishing to get involved in
parties or election activities should

Many countries are to be repre-sented.
These include Argentina,

Some eleven dishes will be
served, ranging from European
dishes like the German kuchen
to the Indian rice and curry. In
addition to some of the dinner's
traditional dishes, there will be
new and exotic foods served.
The program will consist pri-marily
of entertainment. There is
to be a skit, foreign folksinging,
and the breaking of the Spanish
pinata.

George Palke hauls down rebound 636 to break Don Moore's former career total of 635 in Saturday's
game in which co-captain Jerry Moulton also set a record, breaking the 1,000 point barrier.
Royals Trounce Ellendale In Finale;
Moulton, Palke Post New Records
• Saturday wrapped up the basketball season. All in all, the team
faired well through its 20 games. A 12-8 record is respectable when
one realizes that most of those losses came early in the season.
That, however, has been the typical Bethel story for the last few
years. The teams must begin to work together earlier in the season
if Bethel ever hopes to become an NAIA contender.
This year, however, once Ron Pederson lost his first game jitters
and settled down to business, things started to happen.
But more than that, five fellows began working as a team. It is
too bad the season is over. It appears as if the team has just jelled and
is now a fearsome contender. Bring on St. Thomas now and see what
happens!
Plaudits are deserved by many. Jerry Moulton deserves credit in
the scoring department, George Palke in rebounding, Ron Pederson in
both, Dave Bjorklund and Bob Nolin for fine scoring and excellent
floor play.
The prospects for next year's basketball season from this vantage
point look bright indeed. It was an all junior team, remember, that
sparked the Royals in their win over Ellendale. And as long as
freshman Ron Pederson is around, records are destined to be broken.
Other reserves as well improved considerably throughout the year,
even giving some regulars a battle for their starting positions near the
end of the season.
Basketball is over now, and attention is focused toward spring
sports — baseball and track. Both teams show excellent prospect with
many returning lettermen.
Let's transfer the enthusiasm that carried through the basketball
season to these sports and put Bethel on the map in baseball and track
as well as in basketball and football.

The 1965-66 edition of the Bethel
Royals Basketball Team ended on
a winning note as the Royal and
Gold tripped Valley City 82-78 and
thumped Ellendale 100-86. In the
process, Healy's Hoopsters com-piled
a respectable 12-8 won-lost
record.
The Royals needed a good scor-ing
second half flurry to dump the
stubborn Valley City quintet. Al-though
Jerry Moulton shot his
team out to an early six point
lead, Henry Holte and company
responded to put Valley City with-in
one point at halftime.
Dick Deegan forged the visitors
ahead 38-37 with a quick second-half
jumper. Dave Bjorklund, a
21 point performer, promptly
slapped home a bucket. LeRoy
Anderson gave the North Dakotans
their last lead at 44-43 with 16
minutes remaining.
Ragged floor play marred the
next five minutes. However, the
Royals roared ahead to a 13 point
spread at 7:10. With 2:22 remain-ing,
Valley City trailed by 13, 79-
66.
Never-say-die LeRoy Anderson
scored nine points in that last
spell to pull Valley City within
four as the gun sounded. Final
Founders' Week score: Home 82,
Visitors 78.
Co-Captains Jerry Moulton and
Dave Bjorklund paced their team
with 22 and 21 points respectively.
Ron Pederson added 18 tallies
and 16 rebounds, while Bob Nolin
came through with another fine
floor game.
Holte with 21, Kirchoffer and
Anderson with 15 each, and Dee-gan
with 12 led the pesky Valley
City crew.
The season's final encounter a-gainst
Ellendale proved memora-ble
to seniors Jerry Moulton,
George Palke, and George Harvey.
Moulton cracked the 1,000 point
barrier early in the game and also
broke Truman Turnquist's field
goal mark of 442.
Palke, in the midst of scoring
doldrums, had great reason to
smile as he broke Don Moore's
career rebounding record of 635.
With the help of an encouraging,
chanting crowd, Palke grabbed the
dramatic rebound with just 10 sec-onds
to play.
These three marks provided
most of the excitement during
what might be termed a complete-ly
lackluster game. It was the
play of an all-junior team, spark-ed
by Dave Bjorklund and Cabot
Dow which gave the Royals a 45-
40 halftime margin.
Bethel lost the ball eleven times
to Ellendale in the first half.
Perhaps the game was a con-tinued,
natural letdown following
the UMM peak performance. But
in spite of the letdown, the Royals
had enough energy left to hold a
20 point lead at 8:47 of the second
half.
Reserves Bill Maylon and Ray
Peterson picked up momentum
and put on the finishing touches.
Maylon, playing in his first game
of the year, tallied eight points
and potted a pressure free throw,
the one hundreth point, in the last
second of play.
Each team had four men in
double figures. Ellendale was pac-ed
by Warren Schumacher with 17,
Ed Reiter with 16, and Wayne
Johnson and 6' 7" Don Thompson
with 15 apiece.
Gustavus Beats
Women Cagers
On February 19, the women's
basketball team played Gustavus
Adolphus losing by 2 points, 29-
27. Bethel stayed ahead during the
first three quarters with the third
quarter score standing at 19-16.
In the fourth quarter, Gustavus
overtook Bethel to score their win-ning
points in the last seconds of
the game. Bethel's record is now
8-5 with 3 games left to play.
Bethel hosts Northwestern on
March 1, and will participate in a
sportsday at the University of Min-nesota
on March 5th.
NET CALL
All persons interested in play-ing
intercollegiate tennis will

Play Thursday
The Bethel icemen, fresh from
a surprising upset over St. Olaf,
will challenge River Falls Thurs-day,
March 3, at Wakota Arena at
7:00 p.m.
River Falls, in their second year
of organized hockey will be the
host team for Thursday's game.
Bethel, undefeated thus far this
season needs the support of all
Bethelites, this being their second
game.
Since there are now no other
seasonal distractions, such as bas-ketball
and wrestling, there is no
reason why Wakota Arena cannot
be filled to capacity.
Furthermore, the excuse of "no
ride" is no longer valid since
buses will be provided for trans-portation.
Further information on
the game will be available through
the post office boxes.
